[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, in a house in Mishi Hutong in the capital city, a woman wearing a blue collar and a long coat with a broad side and a long skirt asked softly while taking off her husband's outer shirt: "Master, can you look at Mrs. Lu's face today?" What comes out?"

Hao Yunshi sat down on the square chair, took a sip of warm tea, and said unhurriedly just now: "This Lu Fengyun will surely rise to prominence in the future, ranking first in the imperial court."

Mrs. Li obediently rubbed Hao Yunshi's shoulders, her eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she said softly: "I heard that Master Lu has a son. His face is like a crown jade, his appearance is dignified, and his age is similar to our young jade. If there is a future, the two families will be married, and they will be able to help us in the future."

Hao Yunshi's heart moved, and he also felt that it was feasible.Lu Fengyun's ancestor was a person from Yangzhou Prefecture, and now he is serving as a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, and the transfer and promotion of officials from all over the country must go through his hands.

But when it comes to the Qianlong Dynasty, we have to mention the famous "minister of the arm" He Shen.Whether it is central or local, Heshen's disciples and minions are all over the place.The local officials tried their best to establish a relationship with He Shen. As long as they could get into the eyes of He Zhongtang, He Chou would not have a bright future.

But this Hefu is not accessible to everyone. A few days ago, the county magistrate of Licheng County, Shandong Province traveled across mountains and rivers to the capital to ask for Heshen, and knelt in front of the imperial-given Hefu gate for most of the day. However, the attitude caused He Shen to yell: "A mere Qipin county magistrate is also worthy to come to see me!"

The poor county magistrate became a laughing stock in the officialdom, but it also moved Hao Yunshi: so many magistrates want to see Heshen, and I am not suitable to be a middleman as a doctor in the official department. Send the rare treasures of gold and silver to Hefu, so that He Shen will definitely look at him with admiration.

Hao Yunshi's idea was wonderful, and the effect was remarkable, and soon he got mixed up in the big pool of officialdom in the capital like a fish in water.The fly in the ointment is that Hao Yunshi's only son is an idiot, and his only concubine, Li Shi, gave birth to two extremely beautiful daughters.Especially the second daughter, Chuyu, with her pair of water-cut autumn pupils, can make people look soft.Hao Yunshi felt that with Chuyu's qualifications, he would definitely be able to marry a wealthy son-in-law in the future.

The next day, Hao Yunshi discussed with Lu Fengtai.Knowing that Lu Sheng had been admitted as a scholar, Hao Yunshi was even more satisfied with him, and the marriage of the Hao and Lu families was settled.

However, no one expected that Lu Fengtai was a student of Wang Niansun, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry at that time.Wang Niansun has been familiar with the collection of classics and history since he was a child, and he is upright and upright. He hates Heshen to the core, and even brought Lu Fengtai together to play the impeachment of Heshen.

The joint booklet was quickly intercepted by He Shen, and He Shen, who must repay the crime, sent the two to prison. In desperation, Lu Sheng had to ask his father-in-law Hao Yunshi for help.

Hao Yunshi looked at the elegant young man who was kneeling in front of him, feeling sorry but helpless. He personally stepped forward to help Lu Sheng up, but his tone was extremely calm: "Mr. Lu, your father made a big mistake this time and offended He Zhongtang. I There is really nothing I can do for a small official doctor."

Lu Sheng's eager eyes at the beginning gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a pool of stagnant water.The sensitive boy by nature found that Hao Yunshi had changed his address from virtuous son-in-law to Mr. Lu, so he knew that his marriage with Chuyu might be a failure.

Sure enough, Hao Yunshi looked at the young man who was dying, and was silent for a moment, before he said: "Mr. Lu, I am not a cruel person, but now your father is in jail, and the Lu family's situation is not as good as before. I was spoiled and spoiled since I was a child, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear the hardships if she marries you, so please understand how a father loves his daughter."

After hearing this, Lu Sheng recalled the details of getting along with Chuyu in the past, a wry smile appeared on his lips, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Hao's meaning, Wansheng understands." Marriage letter from Lu Mansion.

Unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by Chuyu who was hiding in the side hall. She cried and knelt down in front of Hao Yunshi, pointing at Lu Sheng like a spring onion and said bitterly: "What mistake did I make, your Lu family wants to regret the marriage?" ? He Shen is greedy and does evil, but the current emperor does not restrain him. Master Lu understands the righteousness and speaks out, what is wrong?"

How could Hao Yunshi's words have been disobeyed in this way before, and he suddenly became angry, and shouted at Chuyu: "Shut up, a woman's opinion!"

Not only was Chuyu not intimidated, but she became even more righteous: "Today, I want to say that a treacherous and evil person like Heshen is the scourge of the country. I don't understand how my father is an official in the court. I only know that punishing rape and eradicating evil is something that the people of the world will applaud."

Under the harsh words of his daughter, Hao Yunshi's face became more and more livid.In the end, seeing her daughter no longer crying or pestering, she just looked at Lu Sheng who was weeping silently.Hao Yunshi sneered and said: "Mr. Lu, please go back. Our Hao family temple is small, and we can't afford it. You will wait until you are born again."

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver in the matter, Lu Sheng had no choice but to back out of the Hao family step by step.

When he returned to Lu's mansion, he told his mother what happened at Hao's house today.Mother Lu let out a long sigh, and comforted her, "Hao Yunshi managed to climb the high branch of Heshen, how could he give up so easily? But my God, I'm afraid things will change soon. The new emperor will soon be enthroned, and your father will be rehabilitated one day." ,Where there is life, there is hope."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a report from his servants that Hao Chuyu begged to see him late at night.The mother and son hurried out to greet each other, and saw the young jade jingchai sarong.When Chuyu saw Lu's mother, she knelt down on the ground with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Although Brother Sheng and I have not worshiped, we have a long-standing marriage contract. Now that the Lu family is in trouble, my father is afraid of people's gossip. Expelled from the house, I hope my mother-in-law will not abandon me."

Mother Lu's eyes were red when she heard these words.I saw that she was holding Lu Sheng in one hand and Chu Yu in the other, and tightly folded their hands together, saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, God treats the Lu family well, from now on we It’s a family, sharing weal and woe, advancing and retreating together.”

The two got married the next day with the help of Lu Fengtai's peers and friends.Hao Chuyu served Gaotang and did everything by herself, she didn't look like an official lady at all.The relationship between husband and wife is also enviable. Although life is poor, it is also stable.

After some time, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and Emperor Jiaqing came to power, He Shen's power came to an end, and Lu Fengtai was released.It was the Hao family who fell in this battle.Hao Yunshi, as Heshen's henchman, was dispatched to Urumqi, while Lu Sheng successfully won the Jinshi and served in the Imperial Academy, and Lu Fengtai was an official to the first-rank minister.

Hao Yunshi's words back then came true, but because of his attachment to He Shen, he eventually became a victim of the power struggle.

Throughout his life, Qianlong practiced perfect martial arts, and he was indeed a generation of Mingjun.It is impossible for him not to know about He Shen's greed for ink, and it is impossible for him to be unaware of the factional strife in the officialdom.During his reign, the monarch of the Daxing Literary Prison was by no means a soft-hearted person, but why would he indulge He Shen so far?Before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he eliminated all the founding heroes for Zhu Yunqi, and handed him over to him after pulling out all the thorns on the throne.However, before Qianlong died, he did not touch Heshen at all, and almost made Heshen a "brain of the two dynasties".

Why didn't Qianlong get rid of Heshen for Emperor Jiaqing?This was the question that Shen He pondered over and over in his mind when he closed his notes.

Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang suddenly.Shen He stirred the instant noodles in the bowl and connected the phone.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother is not well..." A bluffing voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Meng, what happened, don't worry, just speak slowly." Shen He chewed a few mouthfuls of the cold instant noodles, his gentle voice carried the power of comfort.

"The boss is chasing you everywhere. I heard that he is very angry. Maybe the thesis will be reworked." Xiao Meng obviously has a deep fear of rewriting the thesis, "Brother, what did you write? I've never seen a boss so angry."

"This is a secret, let's not talk about it. I'll contact the professor first to see how to remedy it." Shen He left Xiao Meng who was full of doubts, thought for a while while holding the phone, and finally dialed Professor Xiao's number.

The moment the phone was connected, Shen He was almost stunned by an angry voice: "You boy still have the guts to call. What are you writing in your thesis? Go back and rewrite it for me."

Shen He heard him vent his anger for a while, and then calmly replied: "Professor, this is my point of view, and I didn't write indiscriminately."

"What an opinion!" Professor Xiao has a fiery temper, and he can't bear Shen He's casual attitude the most: "You have read so many books, checked so many materials, and done so many researches, just to tell me that Qianlong will not kill you." The reason for He Shen is because they are gay?"

"Yes." Shen He only answered one word, but Professor Xiao almost had a heart attack, and he didn't speak for a long time on the other end of the phone.

Shen He knew that Professor Xiao was really angry, but he was telling the truth, and this was his point of view.

He paused, and then added: "Professor, masculinity was actually very common in ancient times. Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Dong Xian, Emperor Wendi of Chen and Han Zigao, Li Chengqian and Xinxin, you know these historical materials better than me. Existence is reasonable. It's just a hypothesis on the subject."

Professor Xiao was so choked by Shen He that he couldn't speak, so he could only angrily say, "We'll discuss this issue later. There's a seminar on Qing history in Beijing on Thursday. I don't have time, so you go for me."

Shen He looked at the calendar and agreed on the phone.After hanging up the phone, he put the notes back on the shelf and rubbed his sore forehead.

Shen He is a graduate student in the History Department of University B, and his research direction is Qing history.Why Qianlong didn't kill Heshen before his death is the research question of a recent paper, and Shen He's hypothesis is: because of the special relationship between Qianlong and Heshen, they are not an ordinary relationship between monarchs and ministers, or more specifically, they have a relationship with Heshen. Shen was the male favorite of Emperor Qianlong.

The professor obviously couldn't accept this assumption, but as a natural homosexual, Shen He felt that after reading countless materials, this was an assumption he accepted from the bottom of his heart.

He is too aware of the relationship between men and men, which is a dusty past that can be read through the back of paper after hundreds of years.It is precisely because of empathy that he accepts this explanation.
