Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2619, Volume 7, Shengjing's Project (2)

Fukang'an didn't take it seriously.

"Since the Shengjing Imperial Palace is an old imperial palace, it is natural to respect the ancestral system in everything. Once the palace is built, it should be restored as before, and it must follow the old rules of the ancestors outside the customs. Only in this way can we maintain The style of Shengjing."

"Besides, it's not the first time that the emperor built the old palace in Shengjing. Thinking about the 11th to 13th years of Qianlong, didn't the old palace in Shengjing also build the east and west palaces, respectively, where the empress dowager and the emperor stayed in Shengjing Is it the sleeping palace at that time? If that’s the case, you can just go and fix it.”

Fu Chang'an bowed his head, hiding a contemptuous chuckle.

"It turns out that my elder brother thought so too... I will not hide it from my elder brother. In the early days, my younger brother and the Ministry of Industry, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, submitted the memorandum to the emperor according to this idea, but the emperor rejected it."

Fu Kang'an was also startled, put down the wine cup, raised his eyes to focus on Fu Chang'an, "Then what exactly does the emperor want to build in the old palace in Shengjing? And what kind of building will it be?"

What Fukang'an couldn't understand was that since the old palace in Shengjing already had the east and west palaces, it already had the emperor's bedroom, so why did the emperor build it again when he was going on a tour to the east this year?If it wasn't for repairing the sleeping palace, what else would the emperor want to repair?

Fu Chang'an lowered his head, "My elder brother has been serving the emperor for so many years, but I still can't comprehend the sacred heart of the emperor. My younger brother is young and ignorant, so I am even more impatient. The emperor ordered my younger brother to go to Shengjing to check, but I don't know what to check. , and how to reply to the emperor."

"At that time, my elder brother was working abroad and not in Beijing; my younger brother wanted to write a book to ask my elder brother for advice, but my elder brother's office is so far away, and I don't know how long it will take to travel from the capital to Sichuan and Guizhou... So the younger brother only If you can get close, find the emperor's close ministers to ask for advice."

"Little brother, this is also a helpless move, and I beg brother to understand."
.
Fukang'an snorted, "So you're going to serve that He Shen? It's been a few years since he came to the emperor, what can he tell you?"

Fu Chang'an continued to laugh with him, "What brother said is true. Although He Shen is older than my younger brother, he has just passed his thirties after all. He was not born when the old palace in Shengjing built the East and West buildings. Woolen cloth."

Fukang'an raised his eyebrows, "Then you still worship him?"

Fu Chang'an carefully said, "Although he may not know, Lord Yinglian does know... Lord Yinglian has been in front of the emperor for decades, and has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am afraid that he understands this matter better. some."

Fukang'an squinted his eyes and thought about it, but he couldn't say anything against it.

"Then what did you find out from Yinglian?"

Fu Chang'an smiled faintly, "My lord Yinglian first told my younger brother how he was born in the official career——Master Yinglian said that at that time he was only a small assistant leader for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was our Ama who When he was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was given a chance. This gradually allowed him to be reused, and he came to the emperor step by step."

Fu Kang'an narrowed his eyes at Fu Chang'an, and said slowly, "I also know about this - when Concubine Qing's mother's family was ordered to enter the flag, because Concubine Qing's father once made a fuss about asking Yanzheng to donate an official for him. Therefore, the emperor needs to put her mother's house in a leader who can be assured. Ama chose the leader where Yinglian is, and this is how Yinglian can be reused step by step."

Fu Chang'an nodded and smiled, "Brother is right, that's why I'm going to use He Shen's mouth to ask Lord Yinglian..."

Having said that, Fukang'an suddenly felt half awake from the wine.

He stared at the brother opposite him carefully.
.
His younger brother, six years younger than him, was born in the 25th year of Qianlong, and was born in the same year as the fifteenth elder brother Yongyan.

So even today, this younger brother is only 23 years old.

At this age, he has already become the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and even learned to walk at the military plane... Fukang'an used to think that the reason why he could get the emperor's attention with his status as a younger brother and concubine must be because the emperor cared about him. Because of their Ama Fuheng.

It wasn't until now, at this time, that Fu Kang'an suddenly realized that maybe he was wrong-there was a reason why the emperor cared about their Ama, but the fourth brother was afraid that there was something special about him.

——For example, regarding the construction of the old palace in Shengjing, he himself didn't get it right; it was the sudden words of the fourth brother that made him suddenly think of something.

Since Ying Lian is the official of Concubine Qing's mother's house, Ying Lian will naturally know the furnishings of Concubine Qing's house.And when Imperial Concubine Qing's mother's family was ordered to enter the flag, the Lu family was still full of Han people in the south of the Yangtze River!

Concubine Qing and Concubine Huang have the strongest friendship. Although Concubine Huang's mother's family has lived in Shengjing since entering the banner, Concubine Huang's mother's ancestral home is also in Jiangsu...

Those who came from the south of Jiangsu, went to Shengjing to enter the banner and live there. Over time, they may have forgotten the habits of their ancestors such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.But this kind of forgetting is forced and unwilling, and you really want to find it again, isn't it?
After thinking about it in this way, Fukang'an woke up all the drunkenness.

He stared at Fu Chang'an, "You mean... you want to add the style of Jiangnan Han people to the new building in Shengjing Old Palace?"

Fukang'an's heart was raised, "That's Shengjing, the old palace, and the construction of the two generations of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong! ——If you add the style of the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River, it might be A heinous crime!"
.
Fu Chang'an smiled, and quietly lowered his head.

"Whether it's a crime or not, it's all in the emperor's Sacred Heart, right? What matters now is not to go back to the old rules of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, but how to get the emperor's immediate errands done first, so that the emperor is satisfied." go."

Fukang'an took a deep breath, "Ying Lian and He Shen also support you in doing this?"

Fu Chang'an didn't answer directly, but just lowered his head and smiled.

In fact, my brother was right, He Shen really mentioned him in this way.

The steelyard on Fu Chang'an's heart was leaning towards He Shen at that moment - in Fu Chang'an's view, although the emperor valued He Shen and his elder brother equally, and asked them to add the title of Prince and Taibao on the same day, it was obvious that It is He Shen who can guess the emperor's mind better.

And my elder brother is just a general who leads troops to fight outside.Able to make military achievements, but may not understand the king's heart.

Seeing that his brother avoided answering so much, Fukang'an narrowed his eyes, "How could you think that what he said was right?"

Fu Chang'an smiled faintly, "Because the younger brother followed the instructions of those two and re-wrote the melody for the emperor—the emperor has already given permission."

Fukang'an's heart was also beating excitedly, and he couldn't tell whether it was excitement or disappointment.

If it is true that Heshen guessed the emperor's intentions more accurately than he did, he should be disappointed; but if Heshen's guess is correct, the emperor really built the old Shengjing Palace for the sake of the imperial concubine... Then Based on the relationship between him and the imperial concubine A Niang in those years, he is naturally happy for the imperial concubine A Niang.

Under Fu Kang'an's surprise, Fu Chang'an smiled faintly, "It's just this matter, it's not appropriate to tell the truth. The old palace in Shengjing should still maintain the appearance before the ancestors entered the customs; as for what to do later, it is more in line with Jiangnan Additions in the style of the Han people should not be known to outsiders."

Fukang looked at his brother steadily.

At this moment, he understood that his brother's heart had gone to He Shen firmly.Even if he wanted to pull it, he couldn't pull it back.

What worries him even more is the accuracy of He Shen's estimation of the Holy Will.He, who grew up in the palace and had a close relationship with the imperial concubine, didn't even know the emperor's thoughts about the construction of the old Shengjing Palace and the imperial concubine's mother; but He Shen, an outsider, guessed it accurate.

This He Shen somewhat startled him.

But he still had a bad relationship with He Shen.This is for self-protection, and he has to try to contain He Shen.
.
In late September, Shengjia returned to the capital from the summer resort.

With such doubts in mind, Fu Kang'an asked his elder brother Fu Long'an whether Ying Lian and He Shen had met any "immobile" people in recent years.

Fu Long'an has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years, and he laughed when he heard that, "You see that the two of them are in the same breath now, and the scenery is infinite~~ But naturally there are people who don't think so about them."

Fulong was still sick, and his breath was slightly weak.But speaking of this, there is still some excitement.

"If you want to say that Yinglian has suffered the biggest setback over the years, it is Concubine Qing's master. At that time, Yinglian was the official in the family of Concubine Qing's master's son and mother, and thought that she could get attached to Concubine Qing's master because of this. But it's a pity, Concubine Qing's master is not honored by him."

"Ying Lian has nowhere to go, and some illnesses rush to the doctor, so he is self-righteous, and chooses a girl from the Lu family of Concubine Qing's mother's family to send to the palace - thinking that Concubine Qing has not been favored in those years, and she is old, so she is sent to the palace. Going with my own sister is helping to win favor. Who would have thought that instead of thanking him, Imperial Concubine Qing annoyed him even more..."

Fukang'an also raised his eyebrows, "Oh? So, doesn't Brother Fifteen not have a good impression of Yinglian?"

Fu Longan nodded, "That's exactly what I said. Although the fifteenth elder brother is born benevolent and filial, he is also a person who can distinguish between likes and dislikes. He never pretends to be someone who the fifteenth elder brother doesn't like. Over the years, the fifteenth elder brother He has always been indifferent to Yinglian."

Fukang'an narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"What about Heshen? He is in the limelight now, maybe it's too late because the ministers of the court are too busy to court him?"

Fu Longan coughed twice, and said slowly, "But, he can't even conquer the heart of an eight-year-old child~"

Fukang'an raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Which eight-year-old child?"

Fu Long'an smiled slowly, "It's Ruigui's younger brother, Shangshu Debao's youngest son Yinghe."

"The child was born late, and he was born around 36 years ago in Qianlong. The Debao family originally had two brothers, Debao and Guanbao, who were both Jinshi in the same middle school and the same imperial examination family. Their family also had an inner court like Ruigui. Lord, so Ah Ying and that child were already known as child prodigies when they were a few years old, and they were born with good looks."

"Heshen has a daughter who is about the same age as Yinghe, and Heshen wants to betroth her daughter to Yinghe. Who knows, Debao firmly refuses."
