In history, whether it is the history of the main history or the history of the wild, the evaluation of Washu seems to be undisputed. He is a big corrupt official, a completely negative image!
The Qianlong Emperor was a wise and brilliant emperor, so why did he not deal with Hezhen's repeated corruption, bribery, and bribery, and bribery and perverting the law, but he also repeatedly shielded him? He has punished countless corrupt officials, so why didn't he punish Hezhen? What is the relationship between the two of them, and all these questions have aroused everyone's curiosity, and people can't help but wonder what kind of relationship they have? And so came one legend after another about their relationship.
This statement is mixed with a layer of fragrant colors, which can be said to be a scandal of the Qianlong Emperor. In fact, the Qianlong Emperor was originally a mercurial emperor, and there are not a few wild histories that record the affair of the Qianlong Emperor. There is also the legend that Qianlong did not hesitate to damage his reputation for filial piety for a woman who sold songs, tore his face with his mother during the southern tour, and insisted on making this woman a concubine. In fact, there were too many such things when the Qianlong Emperor was in power, and the story we want to tell you here is a scandal when Qianlong was still Prince Bao.
This should also start from the Yongzheng era. Qianlong, who was still Prince Bao at the time, was only a teenager, but this teenage prince was somewhat precocious, he fell in love early, and he still liked one of his father's beloved concubines, Ma Jiashi.
Once, when Qianlong, who was still the Prince of Bao, entered the palace, he happened to pass by this concubine's bedchamber, when the concubine was grooming herself in the mirror, and when she saw this very gorgeous-looking concubine, Qianlong suddenly covered the concubine's eyes with both hands from behind out of amusement, and the concubine panicked, so she picked up the comb and slapped it backwards, just hitting Qianlong's forehead, leaving a small scar. It was this small scar that broke up a pair of lovers, and also made Qianlong feel guilty for a lifetime. What's going on here?
It turned out that the next day the Qianlong Emperor ran to the palace to visit his mother, who was the concubine of the Yongzheng Emperor at that time. As soon as she entered the palace, Qianlong's mother saw the wound on her son's forehead. Qianlong's mother forced the Qianlong Emperor to ask what was going on, and the Qianlong Emperor could not withstand the persecution and told his mother the truth. This was not an ordinary thing, and the mother was very frightened, so she used her power to strangle the concubine to death at the Yuehua Gate in the name of flirting with the princess.
When Qianlong learned of this and rushed back to the palace, his first love was already dying. Seeing his beloved, who was already dying, the Qianlong Emperor expressed his guilt to the concubine with tears in his eyes, and he thought that he had killed the concubine. After saying this, he bit his finger, lit a blood mole on the back of the concubine's neck with his finger, and said to the concubine, "I have no ability to save you in this life, if there is a future life, in twenty years we will meet with this red mole." As soon as the words fell, the concubine shed two lines of tears and returned to the west. Later, the Qianlong Emperor ascended the throne, and his affair was gradually forgotten by him.
In the middle of the Qianlong era, the Qianlong Emperor once again went out on a tour. Ordered the attendants to prepare for the honor guard, but these officials could not find the yellow umbrella for the honor guard, the gang was in a hurry, at this time the Qianlong Emperor learned of this matter, Long Yan was furious, said: "The tiger is out of the wood, the turtle jade was destroyed in the tree, who is the fault?" This is a sentence from the Analects, which means that animals have run out of their cages, and the best things they have treasured have been destroyed, who should bear this responsibility?
These guards did not understand the meaning of Emperor Qianlong's words at all, only that Emperor Qianlong was very angry now, and everyone did not dare to speak, and just at this moment a voice reached the qianlong emperor's ears: "It is the pawnbroker who cannot resign his responsibility." The meaning of this sentence is that the guards in charge of this matter are to blame. The person who said this was None other than Hezhen. The Qianlong Emperor did not expect anyone to answer this question, and when he heard this voice, the Qianlong Emperor looked over his face and saw a beautiful man with a list of talents, beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and then looked at the man's face as if he had known each other, and suddenly he felt that this man was very similar to his beloved concubine who had been strangled twenty years ago. The Qianlong Emperor was very happy to think of this, so he forgot about the yellow umbrella and asked Hezhen, "You are just a bodyguard, how do you know the Analects?" Have you read a book?" Seeing that the Qianlong Emperor had noticed him, this was a rare opportunity for promotion, he calmly replied that he was a student of the Xian'an Palace.
After that, He Yan answered the Qianlong Emperor's questions fluently, so he was secretly summoned to the palace by the Qianlong Emperor. The Qianlong Emperor looked at this young man kneeling in front of him very carefully, and it was at this time that the Qianlong Emperor found that there was a red mole just behind he's neck, which was exactly the same as the one he had left for the concubine twenty years ago, and then saw that Hezhen's voice and smile were extremely similar to the woman he loved, and then he thought that the time was exactly twenty years, and all these coincidences were concentrated on Hezhen's body.
Therefore, the Qianlong Emperor decided that the current Hezhen was the reincarnation of the concubine who had been strangled twenty years earlier. From then on, the Qianlong Emperor had great compassion for He yan and was very fond of him, and immediately promoted he yan to be the head of the internal affairs office, and he was naturally on a high level, rising to the ninth rank in three years.
Of course, this is just a story, and the authenticity cannot be verified!
