Chapter 440 Handling the 'Book of Heaven and Kun' by Order
In the early morning, Li Guolou escorted Emperor Tongzhi back to the palace. In the morning, Emperor Tongzhi had to show up in the upper study room, otherwise the talkative ministers in the upper study room would report to the Empress Dowager Cixi. Emperor Tongzhi habitually got up early. Although he was exhausted and breathless, he
He is young, recovers his physical strength quickly, and still has the energy to sit in the carriage.
Li Guolou was sitting next to him and didn't dare to say anything. He didn't know why Emperor Tongzhi wanted to ride in the same car with him when he returned. In the morning, everyone was a little confused. Emperor Tongzhi was silent all the way. After walking for most of the journey, Emperor Tongzhi finally spoke.
: "Li Guolou, come with me tomorrow to take the two ladies back to the palace. It's too cold, but it's warmer in the Forbidden City. Hey..."
From what Emperor Tongzhi said, he was reluctant, but who called him his son? The happy days would eventually come to an end, and with the all-pervasive Empress Dowager Cixi watching by his side, he could no longer be so romantic and happy.
Li Guolou said carefully: "Your Majesty, just work hard and don't make any mistakes. Power is hard-won. The life of a puppet on strings is so boring."
"I know, so I'm going to discuss something with you. Huh!" Emperor Tongzhi coughed dryly and said a little embarrassedly: "Those talkative people in the court have brought the matter of me hiding my treasure to the Queen Mother. Full of it.
people
My ancestors had so many magic tricks that I couldn't bear them. Fortunately, I had a backup plan from the beginning. You have to carry Du E Niang for me. She is your wife and you are not allowed to eat it secretly. Later I will find a way to take Du E Niang away.
He was taken into the palace."
Li Guolou touched his nose and said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, how come this kind of thing has happened to me?"
"Hey! Who told you to wear a lice coat? No matter how many lice you have, there are never too many." Emperor Tongzhi put aside his words with a sneer on his face.
"Zha! My slave, you must serve Du Niangniang well and never dare to steal food. It is rare for the emperor to have fun, so don't indulge in it." After Li Guolou was released from the house, he immediately adjusted his mentality and did not dare to indulge himself.
Emperor Tongzhi nodded and said: "Well, I know, I still want to live to be eighty years old, how can I not cherish my body, only a few times a month. I still understand the principle of replenishing the body in winter. When you come back from Western Xinjiang,
Let’s hunt tigers together. Hey hey hey hey!”
Li Guolou laughed with him and felt relieved. As for the favored young husband-in-law of Emperor Tongzhi, he would not directly reprimand him. The princes and ministers who raised the young husband-in-law passed away, and Prince Qing Yikuang took the lead in raising several young husband-in-laws. This kind of
Things are a major feature of the Qing Empire. As long as he doesn't fall into the dye vat, he can protect his own body.
Emperor Tongzhi and Li Guolou talked about last night's romantic affair, and they shamelessly compared the pros and cons. Women with bound feet have a certain taste. Before getting off the car, Emperor Tongzhi finally said something serious: "Li Guolou is busy doing business, I
I hope there will be a memorial tablet for you in Xianliang Temple in the future."
Xianliang Temple is located at the side gate of Di'anmen West Street in Xicheng District. It was built in the 8th year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign in the Qing Dynasty. The temple faces north and faces south, covering an area of about 740 square meters. There are three gates, with stele pavilions on the central axis, one on the left and one on the left, and a hexagonal pointed pavilion.
, there is a monument to the Xianliang Temple made by Emperor Zongxian of the Qing Dynasty inside. There are three Yimen, with stone lions on the left and right in front of the door, and a door on the left and right of the Yimen. The main entrance
There are 3 pavilions in the hall, 3 east and west verandahs, 5 back rooms, and 3 east and west auxiliary rooms. The Xianliang Temple is dedicated to the princes and ministers who have contributed to the country. Emperor Zongxian of the Qing Dynasty wrote a letter on the forehead saying "Chongzhong Nostalgia". Xianliang Temple
The temple initially offered sacrifices to kings, dukes, marquises, bachelors, ministers, censors of Zuodu, governors, generals, governors, governors and deputy governors. There are now 78 people who accept priests.
"Zha! This slave must fulfill his duties faithfully and live up to the emperor's grace." Li Guolou's blood boiled when he heard this, and tears almost flowed out. He is the most favored minister of Emperor Tongzhi. This time he caused trouble for the emperor, but he still has a strong favor with the emperor. This
The master is the holy master. Folk sayings about Emperor Tongzhi's pursuit of flowers and willows are just speculation. He can assure you that all the scandals were caused by him, and Emperor Tongzhi is taking the blame for him.
Li Guolou's carriage went straight to Youfang Hutong to see the prostitute Du Eniang. Since Emperor Tongzhi entrusted him with the errand, he had to do it in a flawless manner. The official media was indispensable, and it had to be done today. Otherwise, Empress Dowager Cixi would be furious when she returned to Beijing.
, put the prostitute Du E to death with a cane, Emperor Tongzhi did not want to kill him
Full of anger was vented on him, and his bright career was ruined on a prostitute. Wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the divine hunter? Of course, he was very happy to see the beautiful Du E Niang. Everyone is so beautiful.
Love, even if you can't touch it, who can do anything to it if you indulge in lust several times?
Li Guolou's House of Internal Affairs also had official positions, including the post of supervisor of the Longevity Mountain Project, so in Du E'niang's house, he sent four middle-aged eunuchs and four palace maids to serve Du E'niang specifically. As for Du E's past work in
The stage name in the brothel has long been erased, and there has never been a high-end prostitute named Hua Jinxiu in the capital.
Li Guolou entered the house and waited in the living room after being informed. After a while, Du E's mother was wearing a tight-fitting pink rose-scented robe with sleeves on top, an emerald green smoked gauze skirt underneath, and her waist was tied with soft gold silk cigarettes.
into one
The big bow tie, the jasper Zan phoenix hairpin hung diagonally on the temples, showing a slender figure that is seductive and charming. The whole body is exuding a delicate fragrance, and the broken lotus steps are walking from far to near. Her demeanor is like a mother's grace to the world.
I just felt that Du E'niang's body seemed to have a light cage of mist, and she was no longer a human being. Her eyes only looked at her light eyebrows, her red lips pursed, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, the morning glow was slowly rising, and the faint sunshine reflected on her face, making her heart flutter.
Li Guolou was panic-stricken. He quickly bowed his head and knelt down to say hello to Du Eniang. He explained the reason why he came here. He was extremely urgent. He wanted to marry Du Eniang today, otherwise he would be caught by the Queen Mother and his life would be in danger. He needed to get married immediately.
.The two of them have to go to the Ministry of Rites together to receive the Book of Qian and Kun. Qian means Qian Zao.
The man in marriage; Kun, that is, Kun Zao, refers to the woman in marriage; in "Bagua", "Qiankun" refers to husband and wife. "Qiankun Shu" is divided into two parts: "Qian Shu" and "Kun Shu", the former "
"Qian Shu" is the certificate written by the man to the woman. The latter's "Kun Shu" is stored in the Ministry of Rites, and the official's marriage status needs to be archived.
The upper right part of "The Book of Heaven and Earth" depicts a newlywed couple undergoing a ceremony, and the lower part depicts five guests attending the ceremony. The eagerly awaited marriage certificate of a man and a woman in the Qing Dynasty. This is a certificate issued by the government. As for the private citizens, the matchmaker is responsible for the wedding ceremony and the bridal chamber.
On the night of flowers and candles, the government also recognized it.
Du E'niang was sitting on the main seat, listening to Li Guolou's spitting words. She said "um" and "ah" several times. She didn't say that she would go out to do it, nor did she say that she disagreed. She just held the tea steadily.
Drinking tea, there is still time, Du E Niang is as stable as Mount Tai.
Li Guolou is anxious. Tomorrow he and Emperor Tongzhi will go to the Old Summer Palace to pick up the two empress dowagers. If they return to the capital to deliberately cause trouble, Du E's wife will disappear after just one meal. Wouldn't he become a thorn in Emperor Tongzhi's side?
Can't pull it out quickly.
"Ms. Du, how dare I lie to you? Master Long just told me that everything will be fine after everything is done. Master Long said that he will definitely take you into the palace and make you a noble concubine. The documents of the Qiankun Book of the Ministry of Rites can be destroyed. Now it is just a temporary solution.
Count, two
Even Master Long dare not touch the majesty of the Empress Dowager and the laws of the Manchu family, but I wholeheartedly work for Empress Du." Li Guolou's mouth went dry as he spoke, and he didn't even drink a sip of water. He rushed over anxiously, but instead
Come on with a cold face.
Li Guolou was secretly angry that he was so shameless that he had to kneel down to talk to a prostitute. He stood up and said with a sideways glance, "Mother Du E, why are you so weird so early in the morning? You took the wrong medicine."
few
I have more women. One more woman for you is not more, and one less for you is not a lot. If your brother hadn’t been so favored, would Mr. Long have thought of you? My young husband has been able to live happily for a few years. Who is protecting you now? You can do it.
clear."
"Bold!" Du E'niang placed the tea cup on the table, spilled the tea, frowned and shouted: "Li Guolou, you just took the wrong medicine. You came to me early in the morning and talked crazy. Your mind is so dirty."
, do you think I don’t know?”
"Get out of here." Li Guolou waved the two maids who were serving him to leave. Then he changed his expression and stepped forward, holding a teapot to pour water for Du E Niang. He said with a playful smile: "My good aunt, I am Long.
The young master’s slave, but I am also
You are an official and businessman, so you can easily get around anywhere. But you have no choice but to rely on Master Long. If you don't listen to Master Long, he can't protect you, so I can only let go. It's you who suffers. The most I can do is sneak into the concession, and I'll have to do it early in the morning.
Do you want me to kneel down and speak?"
"Then why didn't he come?" Du E'niang was in a bad mood and took out her anger on Li Guolou. She twisted Li Guolou's waist with one hand.
Fortunately, Li Guolou's muscles were tight and Du E'niang was too weak to twist. Li Guolou grabbed Du E'niang and stroked her a few times. He reluctantly refused to let go and whispered: "Du E'niang, what a great opportunity."
, if Mr. Long doesn’t want you anymore in the future,
, just live with me, don’t we have an engagement? If Master Long takes you into the palace, I will be your brother, and I will take care of your outside affairs. You won’t suffer any loss. Think of it as buying an insurance, or both.
Insurance, I will be your substitute."
"You are so obscene." Du E'niang was furious, stood up, and started to caress Li Guolou's face with her two small hands.
Li Guolou took the opportunity to hug Du E'niang, and said with a charming smile: "E Niang, please hurry up and I'll change your maid and eunuch. I just have some free time, so I can come and serve you, okay? To save you from being so angry."
"You know this too." Du E'niang opened her small mouth and already came up to her. She was trapped in a house and couldn't go anywhere. Even if she went out to listen to a play, there were maids and eunuchs watching her. After tasting the taste of a man, she didn't want to go anywhere.
Life is very difficult for men.
Li Guolou and Du Eniang hugged each other and kissed. The woman's fragrance made people intoxicated and happy. They didn't dare to stay for too long, so they held her pretty face, stared at it, and praised: "Eniang is so beautiful.
, maybe she will be the queen in the future."
Du E's mother couldn't bear it anymore. She felt hot all over and said breathlessly: "Xiaolou, aren't you going to do the "Qiankun Book"? Let the maid stay at home. Let's go out and get a room. Let's fight for three rounds first."
When meeting a person who was born as a prostitute, she is so straightforward. She looks like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but she is very sultry at heart. Li Guolou was startled, his heart trembled, and he couldn't bear the impatient gesture, so he nodded and said: "
Um,
E Niang, let’s go to the "Book of Heaven and Earth" in the morning, have a glass of wine at noon, go to the bridal chamber in the afternoon, and send you back in the evening. The eunuchs and maids here will change a batch when I come back from the Old Summer Palace, and I will compensate you then."
"I've given it all to you, Xiaolou, how did you know I was willing to do it?" Du E'niang was overjoyed, her voice was soft and whiny, which was very different from the choking voice just now. There was no rain and dew to moisten her temper, and there was a man beside her.
, and immediately used the charm technique.
"Because I can hear your little deer-like heart beating wildly." Li Guolou hugged Du E'niang tightly, listening to her heartbeat, and looking at him, the silent woman looked like a coquettish type. The female was
To please one's appearance, Du E'niang dressed up so beautifully early in the morning, not because he came.
"Hmph! Masters and slaves have the same virtues. I have seen through it all. They are both pioneers among men." The men Du E'niang dealt with were either rich or noble, and their status was determined by their worth. The men who came to her in the past were all masters of looking for flowers.
.
"Then, am I qualified as a substitute?" Li Guolou's slender eyes stared at Du E'niang's face reluctantly. Every frown and every smile was beautiful.
"Hmm... It's okay." Du E'niang was quite satisfied. If a noble concubine couldn't do it, a noble lady would be a good choice.
Li Guolou took chicken feathers as arrows and had the imperial edict of "Master Long". He was ordered to marry Du Eniang and go out to write the "Book of Heaven and Earth". None of the four maids and four eunuchs dared to speak out. As for the palace
The other old ladies hired here didn't dare to say anything. There were a lot of taboo things here, so they usually just used money to make themselves happy.
