Chapter 498 499 [Fragrant Cloud]
It was nearly October, and the emperor and queen mother went to Mount Tai to offer incense.
North Korean Chinese Minister of Military Affairs saw off outside Di'anmen.
"You two lovers, I am going to Taishan with the Queen Mother this time. You two are too worried about the court affairs." Qianlong looked at Heshen and Fukang and said.
The two of them, one in charge of the military aircraft department, and the other in charge of the military department, are both key departments of the imperial court.
In comparison, although Xiang Nan was also a second-rank official, he managed only the Imperial Academy. In the Qingshui yamen, the real power is not important.
"Slaves, you dare not give your all!" He Shen hurriedly said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, there are several anti-book cases that must be investigated immediately!" Fu Kang'an reported.
"Oh, there is another counter-report?" Qianlong frowned when he heard this.
In order to maintain the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, since the Shunzhi period, the Qing court has continuously set up literary prisons to imprison thoughts, destroy talents, and fool the people.
Emperor Shunzhi launched the literary prison seven times. Kangxi and Yongzheng each set up more than 20 literary inquisitions. The literary inquisition in the Qianlong Dynasty was even more prosperous, with a total of more than 130 times. Under the strong pressure, the spine of the scholar was bent.
"It's the emperor, and one is Xu Shuxiang's anti-poetry case." Fukang Anhui reported.
"Yes, this person blatantly wrote in his poem, 'The Ming Dynasty is in full swing, go to the Qing capital in one fell swoop.'" He Shen continued, "This clearly means to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, go to the Qing Dynasty."
"Hmph, bold! Such rebels are not arrested immediately." Qianlong was very angry when he heard this.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is also Ding Wenbin's anti-poetry case, Yu Teng's anti-poetry case, and "A Dream of Red Mansions" anti-book case..." Fukang'an reported again.
"This "Dream of Red Mansions" is an anti-book..." Qianlong was taken aback. He had heard of the previous cases, but this was the first time he had heard of "A Dream of Red Mansions".
"Your Majesty, this book uses red as a metaphor for vermilion, and there are many rebellious words and words that violate the superiors. They scolded me, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yongzheng, to the brim! It's extremely vicious!" He Shen immediately added fuel, spreading rumors and slandering.
Qianlong did not investigate carefully, and immediately believed it to be true, "It's worth it! Fukang'an, I order you to search this book immediately. Anyone who collects, reads, passes on, copies, engraves, prints, sells, or sells it will be sent to prison!"
"I obey!" Fu Kang'an immediately accepted the order when he heard it, and then smiled at He Shen. The trap has been dug, and Xiang Nan jumped into it.
…
While He Shen and Fu Kang'an were busy digging a hole for Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan took Du Xiaoyue to deliver food to the Queen Mother.
After Du Xiaoyue went to Nanfu as a teacher, she also entered the palace many times to sing operas for the emperor and queen mother. Because she is beautiful and enthusiastic and lively, she is very appreciated by the queen mother, and she is called to the palace every now and then to accompany Luan.
"Queen Mother, here are some snacks prepared by Mr. Ji and I for you to quench your thirst on the road." Du Xiaoyue offered a food box and said.
"Hey, Xiaoyue, you are really filial, and you are the only one who still thinks about mourning the family." The queen mother said happily when she heard this.
The so-called raising a child does not need to spend money and drown silver, but only needs to see the situation to make love. A little snack doesn't cost much, but this kind of thought is really rare. With so many concubines in the harem, no one thought of this. It's hard for Xiaoyue to be so filial, how could she not love her.
Afterwards, the emperor and the queen mother set off, guarded by honor guards and deacons, in a mighty and continuous manner.
Xiang Nan, He Shen, Fu Kang'an and others watched Luan drive away, each with their own concerns.
…
A few days later, Du Xiaoyue and Xing'er went to the market to buy vegetables.
"Sister Xiaoyue, this fennel is not bad, let's buy some and go back to make dumplings." Xing'er laughed.
"Sister Xiaoyue, you are so kind to my husband." Xing'er laughed.
Du Xiaoyue blushed, "Little girl, you're a big kid."
At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers hurried over after a woman, and they were so frightened that they went shopping. The people who set up the stall scattered and avoided, making a mess.
"These smelly officers and soldiers are arresting people again." Du Xiaoyue couldn't help being angry when she saw it.
Although she learned to read and write with Xiang Nan in the past two months, she still couldn't change her heroine demeanor in her bones. Seeing the officers and soldiers arresting a weak woman, they thought they were bullying the weak, and immediately couldn't help but strike.
Picked up two big radishes, slap, slap, and threw them at the two officers and soldiers who were chasing the hardest, knocking them dizzy immediately.
Du Xiaoyue immediately stepped forward, pulled the woman up with one hand, "Don't be afraid, come with me~" and said to Xing'er, "Xing'er, run away!"
Xing'er didn't buy any mutton, nor did she want any radishes, so she quickly ran after her.
Because the vegetable market was in chaos and full of people fleeing for their lives, the three of them mixed in the crowd and escaped quickly.
"Oh, sister Xiaoyue, don't run away, don't run away, the officers and soldiers didn't come after me." Xing'er was sweating from running, panting Jiaojiao, "I was scared to death!" '
"Girl, thank you for saving me. Your kindness is unforgettable. Please accept Xiangyun's bow!" The rescued woman thanked Du Xiaoyue gratefully.
"You're welcome, sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. Seeing injustice, what can we thank you for drawing your sword to help?" Du Xiaoyue waved her hands carelessly, "By the way, why did those officers and soldiers arrest you?"
"Because they want to grab my package." Xiangyun explained.
"What's in your package? Gold, silver and jewelry? Stolen money?" Du Xiaoyue asked curiously.
Those officers and soldiers for no reason, what are they doing grabbing a package?
"No, it's just a painting." Xiangyun waved his hand and said, "Girl, those officers and soldiers are chasing me so fast, can you help me save this painting. Just three days, three days later, at Liangmaqiao outside Xizhimen, I Come and pick it up. Thank you very much."
"Hey, I'm helping you out of loyalty, not to thank you." Du Xiaoyue waved her hand.
"Then thank you girl." Xiang Yun nodded and said.
…
Du Xiaoyue opened the package after returning home, and saw that there was indeed a painting inside, which showed several pots of orchids.
"Hey, what a painting." Xiaoyue said in amazement, "Qin Lan's sketch is really beautiful."
"Sister Xiaoyue, don't you think it's strange. Just because of such a painting, is it worthwhile for the officers and soldiers to chase after someone?" Xing'er asked suspiciously.
Du Xiaoyue blinked her eyes, and felt a little strange. Is there something strange about this painting?
She looked at it over and over several times, her eyes were almost dazzled, but she still didn't find anything strange.
"Forget it, don't bother with that brain, when the husband comes back, let him take a look, everything will be clear." Du Xiaoyue said immediately.
"Yeah." Myolie nodded, "I don't know when the master will be home."
"He is now in charge of compiling the Siku Quanshu, and he is so busy every day, every time he comes back, it will be late at night." Du Xiaoyue said distressed.
"Yes, it is really rare to see such a good and upright official as our master in the world." Xing'er also said with emotion.
While talking, Lao Cai came in, "Miss Xiaoyue, there is a woman at the door looking for Mr.
Thanks for the reward from book friend Mo Xueyiyun!
