Volume 9, September, Nine Halls

This matter was quite difficult for Heshen to make this matter happen.

As soon as this incident happened, although Yinglian was still in the mourning period, he had to give up the funeral of Yinglian and urgently discuss the matter.

At this time, the General Shengjing was Yongwei, who was a member of the Yellow Bianzi clan. Yongwei had just taken office shortly after he took office, and the emperor was about to tour Shengjing in the east, but something big happened, so he was naturally anxious.

——Because the addition of the old imperial palace in Shengjing this time, the emperor issued an edict to add the Wenhui Pavilion, thinking that it is the purpose of "Siku Quanshu".

The old palace in Shengjing has built such a big project, but it turned out to be a mess in this matter. When the emperor comes, he will not be able to take on this responsibility.

Yongwei was in a panic all day long. In addition to the seriousness of this matter, it also has something to do with Yongwei's own identity.

——He was the grandson of Yinreng, the deposed crown prince of the Kangxi Dynasty.

It is rare for the two emperors, Yongzheng and Qianlong, to give Yongwei and his son two titles without grudges, to do two jobs. Therefore, Yongwei dare not be careless, for fear that his job would not be done well.

When the Shengjing Interior Office asked Yongwei for information about the large size of the Wensu Pavilion plaque, Yongwei went to the construction site of the Wensu Pavilion in person to check it out, and was at a loss. Yongwei had to write a document to the Construction Office of the Interior Office of the Capital, and revise the graphics and sizes of the Wensu Pavilion in Shengjing to see if he could ask the Interior Office of the Interior Office of the Capital to make another suitable plaque.

At the same time as the writing, Yongwei also asked someone to ask Heshen to take care of the matter.

Heshen felt very embarrassed when he received this incident. It was now, even if he asked the Beijing Construction Office to re-create the plaque, Yongwei was willing to bear the money himself, but it was too late.

Yongwei was a royal family after all, and Heshen originally wanted to make friends with the royal family - not for himself, but for his son Fengshen Yinde.

Heshen temporarily gave up the funeral of Yinglian and thought hard for a few nights, but in the end he had to bite the bullet and go to see the emperor.

"This time the emperor visited Shengjing in the east, in addition to paying homage to the ancestral tombs, the most important thing is to preserve the newly copied fourth "Siku Quanshu" in the old imperial palace in Shengjing, as a dedication to the late emperors of all generations... I only knew that the emperor built the old imperial palace this time for this."

Although the seventy-three-year-old emperor could still go on horseback and hunt in person, he was still unforgivable and his eyes and ears were a little slow. After hearing Heshen talk for a while, the emperor seemed to have thought about his past and nodded, "It's not an exaggeration to say that."

Heshen was secretly surprised and said to himself: "What does the emperor mean? Could it be that the establishment of the old imperial palace in Shengjing was not for the "Siku Quanshu"? Then what is the emperor for?"

Heshen was so illusioned in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask directly on his lips.

"The "Siku Quanshu" has been copied into four parts, and is placed in the palace, the Old Summer Palace, and the Summer Resort. This time it is played back in the old palace of Shengjing. The fourth part... In theory, the same "Siku Quanshu" has a fixed size, so the library in various places should be about the same size..."

Heshen said carefully and said in a circle to test the emperor.

Although the emperor was a little slower, he still smiled, "Heshen, what are you going around with me? Just tell me if you have something to do!"

Heshen bowed down and kowtowed, "The slave was guilty of death... the slave dared not say it."

The emperor spat lightly, "I'm sorry that you are innocent. I'm not going to reply to me even if I understand?!"

Heshen hesitated to tell the story of Wensu Pavilion.

.

Even like Heshen, he thought he was a close minister of the emperor and understood the emperor's nature best. At this moment, he still thought that the emperor must be in great thunder.

Because the emperor is a person with great filial piety, how could he be vague about the items he brought back to the old palace in Shengjing?

But it was strange. After hearing this, the emperor not only did not have the thunder that Heshen had imagined, but instead sat cross-legged on the kang, raised his head high, and closed his long eyes lightly - just as the old man was distracted as he talked. Even Heshen could not guess whether the old master was asleep or awake at this moment.

If you are awake, what is the emperor thinking?

But the more the emperor did this, the less he felt. Heshen could only bow down and wait for the emperor to fall nervously. If it were the emperor's former personality, it would be inevitable that he would be fire.

After a long and silent wait, what Heshen was waiting for was not the anger and punishment he thought, but the emperor's unpredictable smile.

"Heshen, you are right. I ordered the construction of the old imperial palace in Shengjing this year to store the "Siku Quanshu" in the old imperial palace. Therefore, there are mistakes in the palace. All the ministers in your group of affairs should be punished!"

Heshen was so scared that he kowtowed quickly.

The emperor then smiled kindly, "Forget it, forgot! I went back to Shengjing to worship my ancestors, and even the landlords and grains that passed by were exempted from 50% of the money and grain... So why do you have to punish you at this time? I will give you kindness and save you from your sins!"

"Just put that plaque according to the hanging method of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Old Summer Palace, and do not need to be hung under the top eaves, but instead hang it on the lower eaves~~"

The emperor was so kind that Heshen felt deeply lucky.

Xie En left, and Heshen even raised his sleeve to wipe his sweat.

However, when he was able to return to his residence and pass the message to Yongwei, Heshen had already changed into another look.

He was arrogant and indifferent, and told the person sent by Yongwei in person, "The emperor was furious and said that he would pursue all the people. Since Duke Yongwei was a royal family, when the emperor returned to Shengjing to pay homage to the ancestral tomb, the emperor specially transferred Duke Yongwei from General Jilin to General Shengjing because Duke Yongwei is a descendant of the Aisin Jueluo family and is more suitable for this job than ordinary ministers."

"But at this time, Mr. Yongwei asked the most important Wensu Pavilion to make such a big mistake. The emperor said that Mr. Yongwei has let down the holy grace..."

Yongwei's subordinates were so shocked that they knelt down, "My master knew he was guilty, so he asked the Lord to do it carefully..."

Heshen smiled and said, "I know. You can go back and report to Mr. Yongwei. I have tried to make a move for him. The emperor has calmed down and will no longer be punished!"

Yongwei's subordinates were immediately overjoyed and thanked Heshen for his kindness and promised, "When the lord comes to Shengjing, my master will thank you very much!"

Yongwei's subordinates left happily, and Heshen smiled proudly.

.

In September, the emperor finally arrived in Shengjing.

It is only by the rules that the emperor must visit the ancestral tomb first before he can stay in the old palace of Shengjing. Therefore, in the first half of September, the 73-year-old old emperor went to Yongling, Fuling, Zhaoling and other places to perform the grand ceremony.

It was only on September 17 that these cumbersome rituals were completed, and the emperor finally arrived at the old palace of Shengjing.

At this point, the newly built old palace in Shengjing was officially lifted.

If the original Ten Kings Pavilion was the east road of the old imperial palace; the former Phoenix Tower, the fifth palace on the platform, and even the east and west roads built in the 11th to the 13th year of Qianlong were merged into the middle road; the newly added part this time is the west road.

The entire West Road is divided into two major building complexes.

The rear part is the Wenshu Pavilion, which was added to respect the "Siku Quanshu".

Behind Wensu Pavilion is Yangxizhai, which is the emperor's study, and then there are nine halls.

It is easy to understand that the emperor's study is placed behind the library. In terms of style, it means that the emperor can pick up books from the library and study in Yangxizhai.

But what is stored inside the Jiujian Hall behind is beyond the reach of no one knows.

But just from the establishment of this library and study, I guess that the nine halls should store books and other miscellaneous items.

It was not until 200 years later that the secrets in Jiujian Hall were unfolded: in 203, several masters were assigned to Jiujian Hall in the Chenyang Forbidden City to participate in the repair work. Jiujian Hall was disrepaired for a long time, so its windows and doors were nailed to death. The masters carefully lifted the iron plate, and at this moment, a golden dragon head suddenly "exposed".

The masters were all shocked at that time. They only realized when everyone woke up. Through the windows of Jiujian Hall, they could see that the dragon head was painted on a "screen". However, when other iron plates 6 were unveiled, it was revealed that this was not a "screen" at all, but a wooden cabinet with as many as 48!

These 48 cabinets are each 2 meters high, 1 meter long and 5 meters wide. They are all made of high-quality pine wood, and the exterior is painted in dark red. The wooden cabinet is divided into 5 partitions, and each partition can store a lot of goods. It is estimated that the net weight of the entire cabinet is about 150 kilograms, and it takes 4 young men to move it. There are two golden dragons on the front of each cabinet. The golden dragon is dominant, with two eyes bright and two dragon whiskers poking forward. According to Master Li, who has been a carpenter for many years, the paint on each of these cabinets is as thick as two copper coins. These paints protect the wood from being eroded by moisture and can not rot for a long time.

From these dragon cabinets, 8ooo remaining cultural relics have been sorted out, including many rare treasures...

Time goes back to the past.

The emperor had personally read Wensu Pavilion and finished reading in Yangxizhai. He could finally get up and walk to the Jiujian Hall behind the study.

Standing in the Jiujian Hall, he squinted his eyes and smiled, watching the thin dust dancing in the air.

In September of the 48th year of Qianlong's reign, he came to Jiujian Hall and left forty-eight dragon cabinets...

In the 48th year of Qianlong's reign, it was the ninth year of Jiuer's death; in September, Jiujian Palace was also in line with the number of "Nine Nine".

Forty-eight dragon cabinets... The year she passed away was the first month of the year. If she counted it as the false year, too many would emerge - and according to her actual year, she was forty-eight years old...

He reached out and brushed past the dragon cabinet one by one.

"Jiu'er, if your soul returns to your hometown, come here. In these forty-eight dragon cabinets, you are here to read the most, your favorite porcelain, and the objects you are used to using in your daily life.

"If you return from your soul, everything here will be familiar with you. You will be available again."
