The good times of Fujin

In the end, Hongzhou finally got his wish, followed Hongli into the palace, and became a filial son in front of the empress dowagers of the two palaces.However, it is a pity that he still failed to escape the tragic fate of going to the Ministry of Rites for labor reform.Within a few days after Hong Zhou went to the Ministry of Rites, he took on a big job, the grand ceremony of sealing the empress.

In the ninth year of Qianlong, the emperor was going to hold Jingxian's canonization ceremony. In order to highlight Jingxian's difference, in the eighth year of Qianlong's general election, the emperor did not leave a single registered beautiful girl, which completely blocked the desire of some women to take a "free ride" idea.Originally, there were fixed procedures and ceremonies for the Empress Seal Ceremony, and Hong Zhou only had to strictly follow the footsteps of his predecessors step by step.However, Jingxian is the successor, no matter how grand the ceremony is, it is just the same as the Yuan empress.As for the Fucha family, Hongli didn't do anything at all back then-the emperor was very poor, so he wanted to save money!

This time, Hongli would be dissatisfied if Jing Xian's empress ceremony was compared with that of Yuan empress.If it surpasses the Yuan Dynasty, the ministers who have been brainwashed by stereotyped essays for a lifetime will not be happy.In order to get the best benefit for Jingxian, Hongli betrayed his fifth younger brother without hesitation: Aren't you the supreme commander of the Ministry of Rites (the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is also a first-grade one, which is not enough for Hong Zhou, the super-grade Prince Heshuo), It's up to you to think of a reason that can make the subsequent conferment ceremony even more beautiful than the Yuan Empress!

Because of this bird matter (Hong Zhou's words), the few hairs on his head were going to turn white and fall off, and he couldn't make a difference with those old bastards in the Ministry of Rites (Hong Zhou's words) !In the end, Hong Zhou was saved by a group of foreigners who wanted to "visit" the emperor.

Speaking of this group of foreigners, they are really directly related to Hongzhou's fourth brother, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Aixinjueluo Hongli.The reason why I would like to introduce Little Pliers grandly again is really because what he did is awesome!Back then, in the first year of Qianlong, when Hongli had just ascended the throne, he was full of great plans waiting to be implemented, and the first thing he did was naturally to open the sea ban.

Although during the Kangxi period, the sea ban was already relaxed a lot, but due to the lack of precautions these years, there were many rogues at sea. The legendary "ronin" is a Japanese samurai who became a bandit, became a pirate, and ran to the coast of the Qing Dynasty to commit crimes. events happen from time to time.So many people are not very willing to go to sea.Although the income from maritime trade is high and the revenge is rich, very few of them return successfully—only a fleet with a strong background and strong combat effectiveness can return safely.

It is one thing for Hongli to want to make money, but another to strengthen ties with other countries!Thinking about the most domineering empire on which the sun never sets, he planned to imitate the British monarch of the same period, Elizabeth I, and hide the government behind the pirates to obtain the maximum benefit!

He sent people to lurk in the gathering places of various green forest heroes, and fooled the group of guys who moved faster than their brains to "kill the rich and help the poor" in other countries.Our coastal area was ruined by those sons of bitch pirates, so we just sit and wait?The emperor and court of the Tartars don’t care about the lives of the common people (the spies are in a cold sweat), we must avenge them!Several groups of passionate men went to sea. Whether they went to flatten North Korea or shovel Japan is not what we care about. What we need to care about is another group of people.

There is a group of people who are not very serious anti-Qing and Ming-ming elements, nor are they good people, but just passionate young people with patriotic blood boiled by the spies.Their characteristic is that they have martial arts and a little brains, but they still can't play the spies at the sticky pole.On the way to the coast, the group also picked up a few little beggars (also in reserve at the sticky pole). On a morning when the light was slightly dim, they thought they had gone out to sea without anyone noticing.This group of people was so upbeat that they went all the way to England with various tailboats!Damn, this is definitely cheating!

Among the group of little beggars, there were little spies who had learned English from the missionaries, pretending to listen and learn along the way, and solved the communication problem.But in the end, there was no need to hide it, because when we got near the Cape of Good Hope, the remaining less than ten people were all Qianlong's spies—as expected, the regular army was more able to withstand beatings!

This group of people stumbled to the UK, because of their special identity: envoys from the east, so after reporting layer by layer, they soon met Queen Elizabeth I.After presenting the tea, silk and embroidery that he carried with him as presents, the only hidden guard in the palace took out Qianlong's autograph letter from his pocket, and the rest of the friends were stunned!

Don't they just go to other countries to see the customs?Didn't they show off to this group of barbarians how vast the Qing Dynasty was and how they became envoys of the Qing Dynasty? !This is, what to do?

After the Queen read the letter, she gave the envoy of the Qing Dynasty an extremely warm reception.Although these days have suffered a lot, these unlucky children of the Qing Dynasty were still stimulated by the dark cuisine of the British Empire.Haggis or something, is that really human food? !

After the devastation of the British dark cuisine with less oil, less salt and less heat, the guards at the remaining sticky sticks said: Even the roughest rice and pickles in our family are better than any English court banquet. Ten thousand times!In order to establish a normal state religion with that eastern country full of gold (Marco Polo's travels) as soon as possible, and to establish a real empire on which the sun never sets (Little Pliers is trying to carve up the world with Elizabeth I), a fleet of five ocean-going ships quickly went from Departed from England and embarked on a return journey.

It's easy for us to say, but who knows the hard work involved. In the small team of less than ten people, only four people were left in the land of the Qing Dynasty.This trip back and forth took a full eight years, and brought back the basic information on neighboring countries and several missions from Western European countries that the emperor needed most.In addition to the United Kingdom, the veteran seafarers Holland, Spain and Portugal, and even France have all joined the ship.Finally, at the port of Canton, a mission fleet of twelve ocean-going vessels expressed to the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi their strong desire to meet the Qing emperor.

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who was still a little confused and vacillating, saw the token of the guard on the sticky pole, and immediately sent this group of red-haired fans into the capital with good food, drink and hospitality.Don't use it too easily for gold medal token arrows!The time when this group of people arrived was also quite coincidental, it was the end of the eighth year of Qianlong's reign.

In order to give Jingxian a grand birthday, Hongli specially set the post-sealing ceremony on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, which happens to be a very auspicious day and can avoid the hustle and bustle of the Spring Festival.Hongli was happy, but the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy and hit the back of his head.The New Year's Eve sacrifice and the Empress Conferment Ceremony are held together. Your Majesty, are you playing with us or are you playing with us?

As soon as this group of foreigners arrived, Hong Zhou immediately thought of the reason for the extravagance and waste of the Queen's Seal: In order to show the majesty and domineering of our Qing Dynasty to the barbarians, the Queen's Sealing Ceremony must be extravagant, and the Queen's Seal must be made special. After the foreigners went back, they told their emperor how harmonious the emperor and empress of our Qing Dynasty were, the husband and wife were harmonious, the country was prosperous and the people were safe, the country was strong, and the military equipment was perfect.Our post-closing ceremony is going to be held, and it will be done in a big way!

Just when the emperor squinted his eyes and sat on the high throne, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.Hong Zhou was impassioned at the bottom, raising the "seal" of a half-state and half-family matter to the height of the national style and the country's righteousness.The officials below want to refute - we can show our strength in other ways, such as armaments!It was a woman who showed her face at the Queen's Closure Ceremony!The main character is the empress, and even the emperor is just a male supporting role. If envoys from all over the world watch this scene, won't it make foreign barbarians confused?It really highlights the status of the queen!this is not good.

The emperor didn't speak, and Hong Zhou started jumping up and down again: Who dares to say that he was not raised by his mother!The queen's mother is in the world, of course she can show her face.The news has already spread outside that there is a queen in that group of barbarians!What happened to the high status of women!As a role model for women all over the world, our queen must shock those foreign devils!At that time, their queen will not dare to underestimate our queen and emperor!Must be grand!The display of armaments... can be carried out at the same time as the Queen's Seal Ceremony! (This is the emperor's kit)

In the end, the post-sealing ceremony, which could have ended in one day, turned into three days: on the first day, the emperor announced the start of the post-sealing ceremony, performed singing and dancing performances, and greeted foreign missions by the way.On the second day, the queen performed the canonization ceremony, received the treasure book and seal, and accepted the worship of courtiers, missions, and wives. (Huh? The married woman doesn’t see the outsider? Your queen has already received foreign missions, and your wife is so precious? You are allowed to wear a curtain hat).On the third day, the military parade, according to the posture of the later Celestial Dynasty, flying in the sky, running in the ground, swimming in the water, whatever there is.

Although there are still half-truths and half-false yells from the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Putting the military parade in the post-sealing ceremony, there are many disrespectful and decent places, but not many people follow suit."

The emperor's attitude is obvious. Although the queen's conferment ceremony is more grand than the emperor's enthronement, the emperor is happy!The emperor can't use his strength here, the harem, it can be done!The queen mother of Ulanara's family, no matter what, she can't call her girl so arrogant!Doesn't this make the emperor feel jealous, and settle accounts after autumn!

After retiring from the court, many ministers ran to the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace and knelt down in groups, begging the Queen Mother to forgive the emperor.

The two empress dowagers met the courtiers, but they were blocked by the reputation of the harem not being able to interfere in politics.The Empress Dowager Chong slapped the table: "Hongli! You are very capable!" Believe me, even if the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, don't underestimate the Empress Dowager Chong's status and ability and the power behind her.

"Emperor mother, this is related to the face of the Qing Dynasty. England, Spain, and Portugal all have queens or queen princes. Women have a high status in Europa! We must also highlight the status of our Qing women, and then I use Jing Xian to reflect how high my status is, which is different from their so-called princes!" Hongli started to work.

"The reason why I want to make the empress dowager so grand is also to let foreigners see it. If I list out what to welcome, it seems that they are too important! We want them to feel that our empress dowager is That's how they did it! It's just a coincidence that they were able to see this, and they got the queen's honor."

"Hmm... makes sense." Chong Jingben was just putting on a show and showing face to Ulanara's parents. Why was she in a hurry? What was really in a hurry was Chongqing. ignored.

In the end, in the ninth year of Qianlong's reign, a grand ceremony for sealing the empress will be kicked off...
