When Niangan reported that Prince Feng Neheng secretly sent people to Tongcheng, Anhui Province, Qianlong realized that the clan he had always suppressed would definitely make a big fuss out of the rumors about the emperor's life experience.
Fulsai, the administrative minister in charge of the stick-sticking department, suggested that someone should be sent to stop the matter immediately, but Qianlong did not adopt it and acquiesced in Feng Neheng's investigation. He believed that he was the blood of the late emperor and could never be the son of the Han people as rumored.
The Queen Mother made this very clear.
Don't say that a son of Han people, even if he has Han blood, cannot be emperor.
Since the time of the ancestors, the emperor must be the son of Lao Man. Even if E Niang was born in the Han army, she could not inherit the throne.
Although the Holy Ancestor's mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang Tongjia, was born in the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, Tongjia was an old Manchu and was more pure than the eight Jurchen surnames.
The reason why Emperor Taizu incorporated Tong Jia into the Han army was just to control other newly attached Han armies through the Tong family, a "mature woman" who had been living in the Han area.
Emperor Shizong’s mother, Empress Xiaogongren, whose ancestors lived in the area of Yehe, was descended from the family after Emperor Taizu defeated Yehe. She has nothing to do with the Han people.
The ancestor of Qianlong's mother, Niu Hulu, was Aling Abayan, the great-grandfather of the four great ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty, Erbilong. Her Jurchen ancestry was clear.
It's ridiculous that the rumor is ridiculous, saying that the late emperor adopted a son of the Chen family or some other Yang family.
The Holy Ancestor will punish those who raise children with different surnames and pretend to be children of the royal family.
An important responsibility of the clan government is to ensure the purity of the royal blood relationship, and ultimately compile the jade ultimatum as the royal genealogy to confirm the royal family's pedigree.
Under such a strict system, the late emperor wanted to hide the truth and adopt other people's children to pretend to be of royal blood. He really thought that the holy ancestor and the other princes who competed with the late emperor for the throne were fools.
As for why Qianlong liked Han clothes and wore Han hair accessories in his early years, it was just the emperor's personal preference.
When the late Emperor Sejong was still alive, he also liked to wear Han clothes.
I have to say that Hanfu is indeed more beautiful than Manchurian clothing.
As for the count who dismissed Zhang Tingyu, dismissed him from his official position, and drove him back to his hometown, it was entirely Zhang Tingyu's influence in the court that threatened the imperial power.
Other attached theories are also pure nonsense, benevolence sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.
Therefore, it was impossible for Prince Jian to send people to the Zhang family in Anhui to find out any evidence that the emperor was a Han. In this case, why did Qianlong stop this?
In the current situation, the more he stops it, the more others will believe that he is a Han. It is better to let the Zongren Mansion investigate openly, so as to clarify the rumors that the emperor is a Han.
It's just that Qianlong never expected that the Queen Mother would die suddenly.
When he received the bad news, he couldn't help but have a conspiracy theory in his mind, wondering if someone bribed the palace servants around the Queen Mother to poison the Queen Mother, so that he, the emperor, could not clear up his innocence by jumping into the Yellow River.
The Guanggan Department immediately conducted a secret investigation, and finally concluded that the Queen Mother died of normal death, not murder.
However, according to the eunuchs and eunuchs around the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has been in a restless mood these past few days. She often sits in silence for a long time without saying a word, and sighs sadly from time to time.
Qianlong knew that E Niang was not only angry at the rumors that maliciously slandered her, but she was also worried that these rumors would implicate his son, which would make her angry to death.
He cried so hard in front of E Niang's body that he cut off his pigtails, not only to express his grief, anger and pain at E Niang's death, but also to vow to cut the gang of villains who killed E Niang into pieces.
.
However, the death of the Queen Mother made the rumors more fermented than ever before.
Not only did some people say that the Queen Mother was killed and silenced by the Emperor, but some also said that the Emperor killed more than one Queen Mother. The deaths of Queen Fucha and Narajila in the early years were also due to the two queens discovering the truth that the Emperor was not a Manchu. This
Only then was he killed by the emperor.
Coupled with the fact that the imperial concubine was also seriously ill and in a coma at the same time as the Queen Mother's death, rumors about the emperor's ability to summon spirits made some concubines and palace officials start to panic.
Braid-cutting method, golden pagoda to calm the soul
All kinds of rumors were reported at the sticky pole, and the locks were interlocking. Qianlong was so angry that he flew into a rage in the west wing, but he could not find the source of the rumors.
Information about possible changes in the clan was reported to the emperor at least three times by Niangan, and Qianlong, who had been emperor for forty years, began to make arrangements.
Due to the Battle of Burma and the Battle of Jinchuan and Jinchuan, most of the Eight Banners Forbidden Army in the capital were damaged and out of use. In addition, the clan had a certain influence on these forbidden troops. In order to prevent the Beijing camp from being attracted by the clan, Qianlong decided to mobilize troops from outside Beijing to Beijing to suppress the situation.
Three secret edicts were sent out from the west wing in succession.
The first secret order was to Zhalantai, the commander of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Rehe, and ordered him to immediately lead his four thousand banner troops to Beijing.
This Zalantai was not only the son of Qianlong's most respected general Zhaohui, but also his son-in-law. The princesses Heshuo and Ke born to the imperial concubine were Xu and Zalantai.
His son-in-law, Qianlong, must be trustworthy.
Rehe is not far from Beijing. It can be reached in two or three days at a quick pace.
The second secret edict was for A Zhongbao, deputy commander of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Suiyuan, and also for A Zhongbao to lead his 3,000 Eight Banners troops to Beijing.
The third secret order was given to Shu Hede, a bachelor who went to Shandong to serve as Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs. After receiving the order, Shu Hede was ordered to mobilize the anti-rebellion troops who had not yet returned to local garrison to rush to Beijing, including Shandong, Tianjin, and Beizhili.
, soldiers from four provinces in Henan, and flag soldiers stationed in Cangzhou and other places.
Qianlong was confident that these three troops were absolutely reliable and could not be won over by the clan's desperate measures.
In addition to the three secret orders to mobilize troops, Qianlong also sent an order to Heshen to Jia Jiashikai, asking the Dongling general manager, who had won the only victory in the Qing Dynasty in recent years, to command the infantry at the Yamen and blockade the nine gates.
Strictly speaking, Jia Jiashikai is also a relative of the clan. After all, he is the prince's consort in Prince Xin's Mansion.
But Qianlong believed that Jia Jiashikai was absolutely loyal to him as the emperor, because it was his promotion and the favor of the Queen Mother that allowed Jia Jiashikai to transform from a Han military banner official to a true Manchurian, marrying Princess from the prince's family.
It can be said that Jia Jiashikai's current status is all due to his cultivation by Qianlong. The clan has no kindness to him. At this critical moment, there is absolutely no chance that this person will betray the emperor.
There are three reliable troops entering the capital from outside, Jia Jiashikai is in charge of the nine gates inside, and there are Shangsanqan guards and bodyguards guarding the imperial city in the palace. No matter from which angle you look at it, even if the clan is really at odds with the emperor,
This bunch of rubbish can't even damage the foundation of the emperor.
Surprisingly, everything has been arranged, but when something goes wrong, all the arrangements seem to be ineffective.
The most central palace was the first to have trouble.
After Changyin Pavilion and Leshou Hall caught fire one after another, Qianlong knew that someone in the palace must be cooperating with the clan to cause trouble, but he did not panic and asked the imperial minister Santai to immediately lead people to put out the fire. In addition, he asked Fulong An to live in Tongse Hentu.
All the princes and ministers in Cining Palace.
This is also the reason why Qianlong was not panicked, because most of the princes and princes of the clan, Beile, were in the palace and in his hands.
As long as you don't let these people out of the palace, you will actually have the clan in your hands. Others who are causing trouble outside the palace do not have enough status and weight to achieve anything.
The fire in Changyin Pavilion Tongle Shoutang was quickly extinguished, but the body of Ba Age was discovered in the fire scene.
Santai and others confirmed that Brother Ba did not die in the fire, but was killed before his death.
The death of the eighth prince made Qianlong furious. He ordered Santai and Fulong'an to guard the palace gates and sent guards to guard various palaces. They must find the murderer of the eighth prince no matter what.
But things soon became out of control of Qianlong's will. With the help of the eunuchs, a large number of thieves broke into the palace from Shenwu Gate, and many bannermen rushed into the palace from Xihua Gate. There were even more shouts at Meridian Gate. He wanted to kill the emperor and protect the Qing clan and bannermen.
The group of guards at the guard's office were unable to resist the thieves who broke into the palace. Suddenly, the entire palace was in chaos.
The sixth elder brother Yong Rong was killed by thieves in Qianqing Palace. The crying fifteenth elder brother told his mother that his younger brother Yonglin asked the thieves to arrest him.
Qianlong was also shocked by a series of bad news. An even bigger blow came when something happened to the Three Banners Guards!
Sehentu, the commander of the Manchurian Guards with the Yellow Banner, actually colluded with the clan Prince Jian and Prince Zhuang and led troops to capture the emperor.
At the critical moment, Fulong'an and his men rushed to block Sehentu's soldiers. Under the desperate protection of the guards and the Zhenghuang Banner Guards, Qianlong was transferred to the Yangxin Hall.
Things are now basically clear.
The reason why the thieves easily broke into the palace was because the Manchurian guards with yellow flags in the erotic pattern acted as internal agents.
He Shen risked his life and broke out of the palace. Now there is no one else who can come to save the emperor immediately except Jia Jiashikai who is in command of the infantry army and the Yamen!
Jia Jiashikai, who was leading Chang Weijun's anxious escort, arrived and had already arrived at the Meridian Gate.
But when he saw the crowd of clan members in front of him who were clamoring to enter the palace and kill the emperor, as well as the bannermen who didn't mind the trouble, Jia Liu wanted to turn around and leave.
Seeing his son wasting his time there, Jia Daquan became anxious and kicked his son's butt, cursing: "They have already rebelled, why are you still bothering? Why don't you rush into the palace to arrest the emperor!"
"Dad, can you stop yelling, when did your son rebel?"
Jia Liu was also furious, Daquan didn't understand the situation at all.
The Jia family has been traitors for hundreds of years, how could they possibly rebel against the imperial army!
Daquan let out a laugh: "If you don't rebel, why are you making such a big fuss?"
"I didn't do it!"
When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain.
Jia Liu felt aggrieved. Except for the beginning and the middle, what happened now had nothing to do with him.
At least, those clans that were shouting and killing really had nothing to do with him.
"Didn't you do it?"
Daquan was stunned and a little confused for a moment.
Jia Liu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Daquan. He looked at Fan Wei beside him and ordered: "You lead a group of people into the palace. You must find Fulehun, the Minister of Rites, for me no matter what. Tell the old guy that without my consent, the emperor's I will not recognize any edict."
