Seeing that he was about to be dragged out of the palace by the palace guards, the hunter refused to leave, shouting at Qianlong: "Emperor, if you want to kill the ferret, kill me first!" Where qianlong could bear this threat, "Well, I will fulfill you today, come on, drag me out and behead me!" Who knows, at this time the hunter "haha" laughed. Qianlong was a little confused, "When death is imminent, why are you laughing?" At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the emperor: "What kills mink and kills the people, the good days are not obscure." Qianlong turned around to see that it was the newly pregnant Empress Fucha who had helped the empress dowager to come over.
Qianlong saw the situation, looked at the hunter and said, "Bold diaomin, the empress dowager has always disliked fighting, killing and killing, and today I will give you another chance, you must be able to persuade you to spare you from death." “
When the hunter saw that the opportunity had come, he hurriedly knelt down and prostrated his head, and said why.
In fact, this matter has to start from a month ago.
On this day, the snow in the Forbidden City was beginning to clear, Qianlong took a group of guards and courtiers to the paddock to hunt, and suddenly a ferret flew past in front of his eyes, you must know that this ferret is a rare encounter in a hundred years, but unfortunately it was not obtained, and the emperor fell ill.
In order to solve the emperor's problems, Li Yu, the father-in-law, said: "Emperor, under this heavy reward, there will be brave men, why don't you post a notice to ask for the treasure?" ”。
Qianlong immediately posted a notice at the city gate: Whoever can catch this mink alive will be rewarded heavily.
Who knows, although the gate of this city is full of people, but after a few days, no one dares to reveal the imperial list. One day at noon, a young hunter passed by this place, and it happened that the imperial list was blown down by the wind and fell in front of him. The hunter looked at the notice and sneered, "How difficult is this?" Just when he thought about leaving, this was listened to by the guards on the side, who immediately escorted him into the palace.
After listening to the report, Qianlong's brow tightened, "Good you are a wild man, you are not ashamed." ”
"What's so hard about a ferret?"
The Qianlong Emperor suddenly said, "It is often heard that the mink has three treasures, and the ferret is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you catch it alive, you will meet your three requirements." If not, you will be punished to death for the sins of your whole family. ”
The hunter was too late to regret it, so he said emphatically, "Give me seven days, and I will catch it alive." ”
As soon as he got home, he talked to his mother about this matter, and her mother lamented one after another: "You are going to run into trouble, there are so many people outside, but which dares to unveil the imperial list?" What kind of tongue are you talking about? ”
Unable to take care of his mother's nagging, he went up the mountain alone with a bow and arrow on his back. Walking on the road, he pondered how to catch ferrets, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, remembering that his father had said when he was a child that ferrets were rare and only appeared at dusk and dawn, but it also had a fatal weakness, that is, it was humane, as long as it saw people in difficulty, it would save each other.
So he found the hill and took off his clothes in the evening, freezing purple, hoping to attract ferrets.
In the middle of the night, he couldn't stand it anymore and just wanted to get up, but due to lack of physical strength, he fainted.
The next day he woke up, when he felt an inexplicable warm current coming from his body, he slowly opened his eyes to see that a white and flawless ferret was opening its legs and lying on its chest to warm itself.
There is really no place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. He rolled over and jumped up, grabbed it violently, and grabbed the ferret's neck and put it into the cloth bag that had been prepared long ago.
When she returned home and put the ferret in a cage, her mother lamented, "What a sin, it saved your life, but you want to sacrifice it to the emperor, it must be nine deaths." ”
The mother said as she stroked the ferret and sighed continuously. The ferret was also lying in the cage, looking sad, with tears in its eyes, and constantly wailing. The mother touched it and suddenly shouted, "This ferret, you can't kill it, you must let it go." ”
It turned out that this was a female marten, and pregnant with Liujia, the hunter had an ancestral precept: persuade the king not to fight the three spring birds, and the son waited for the mother to return in the nest. Besides, this ferret is still a savior, how can it take revenge?
But human life is greater than the sky, at this time there is no choice, always can not be for the ferret, the whole family's life joke.
Both of them were in a low mood, and after repeated discussions with their mothers, they still carried the cage to the palace the next day.
Qianlong finally saw the ferret of his dreams, and his mood was very happy, "With this ferret, you can finally realize your dreams, and if you have promised you, you will definitely honor it, and if you have any requirements, please come quickly." ”
"The grass people's requirements are very simple, they are written on the note, I believe that the emperor will definitely satisfy the grass people, and also ask the emperor to look over."
When Qianlong unfolded the note and looked at it, he was immediately furious and slapped the dragon chair, causing people to blast people out of the palace.
It turned out that there were only six big words written on this note: mink skin, mink heart, and mink whip.
However, the emperor was also for these three things, he did not expect that his wish was guessed, and his face was disgraced, so he became angry and ashamed.
In fact, this plan is exactly the method that the two of them came up with last night. The mink has three treasures, although the emperor's wish has not been said, but it can also guess seven or eight points, it is better to start first. The hunter thought that the emperor would give in to his affection, but he did not expect that the emperor would not only lose his trust, but also blast himself out of the palace.
That's where the opening scene appears.
Therefore, he said to Qianlong: "The emperor's filial piety is well known, mink skin can warm people's hearts, if you make clothes, you can only warm one person's heart, but if the ferret is alive, it can also save people, it is warming the hearts of thousands of people." ”
"What does this mean?" How can it be that the ferret is pulled to save people?
Therefore, the hunter told the experience of how the ferret rescued himself, and the crowd sighed, and the empress dowager listened and persuaded Qianlong to release the people.
The hunter looked at the queen again and said, "It is not impossible for the mink to be pregnant, but this ferret is pregnant with a small mink in its belly, and will soon give birth, and it will be the same mother", the queen listened, "Emperor, the heavens have the virtue of good life, and my body does not need to make such a big move, so you will let this man and the ferret go." ”
"The Emperor also has a wish to be a mink whip, but this ferret is a female, and even if you kill the ferret, you will not get the whip you want." Now all I want is to release the ferret. ”
When the Qianlong Emperor heard this, he was greatly shaken and sent someone to release them, which calmed down this embarrassing farce.
