Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The heavy snow in the capital has just stopped, and the white snow has covered the inside and outside of the capital. It seems that it has passed the beginning of spring, but it still snows heavily.  This snow is like the corrupt war in the south of the Yangtze River, weighing heavily on the hearts of everyone in the capital.  Although the Qing government blocked some news of the massacre of Manchus, word spread in private teahouses and wine shops that the long-haired thieves who rebelled in the south specialized in killing Manchus. In the cities that were captured along the way, not a single Manchu, old or young, was left alive.  Even the bannermen of the Han army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were slaughtered.

    The rumors became more and more outrageous as they spread. They said that among the long-haired thieves, the False King of the West was the most ferocious. He destroyed countless cities and killed all the Manchus and Bannermen in each city. The Pseudo King of the West even asked Manchu children to cook them for drinking.  The people of all religions and professions in the tea house and wine shop boasted that they were frothing at the mouth and that they were miraculous, but it made all the Manchus and bannermen in the capital tremble with fear and panic.

    But there are exceptions. On the Longzong Gate outside the Qianqing Gate of the Forbidden City, a 16- or 17-year-old young guard stands astride his sword. Different from the other seven guards, he always has a half-smiling look on his face.  , seemingly not caring about the rumors all over the city.

    Including the young guard, the eight guards of the Long Sect are all dressed in ordinary clothes. They are all dressed in the Qing court's fifth-grade military attache uniforms. They wear warm hats with peacock feathers on their heads, moon-white satin lining and yellow fox fur end caps.  There is a red carved porcelain court bead hanging on the chest, but this outfit is the attire of a third-class guard in the Forbidden City.

    The eight people stood on the left and right respectively, standing upright in the cold wind after the snow. Seeing the expression on the face of the young guard, the head guard frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Rong Lu, behave more dignified, smile."  Why are you laughing?! To the north of the Longzong Gate is the Military Aircraft Department, and to the west of the gate is the Cining Palace. The masters, princes and ministers will stroll over at any time. If you behave badly, I will not interfere with you!  "

    Na Ronglu smiled mockingly and said, "Master Cheng'en, I was born with this silly smile and I can't change it."

    Na Cheng'en said slightly sullenly: "You have been acting nonchalant all day long. Last time you had a fight with Zabudonak at my banquet, which was a joke to the people in the Qianqing Sect. If Lord Guiliang hadn't protected you,  You, you damn long ago went to the Meridian Gate to work as a Lan Ling bodyguard!"

    The guards of the Qing Palace mostly selected the descendants of Manchu Mengxun Qi and Wu Jinshi as guards, divided into three grades; among them, some of them were imperial guards and Qianqing gate guards, which were the highest level.  The imperial ministers, imperial guards and imperial guards are under the direct management of the emperor.  The guards of the Qianqing Gate, the walking guards of the Qianqing Gate, the first, second and third grade guards are all led by the imperial minister.  The gate guards and the first, second and third grade blue feather guards are led by the minister in charge of the guards and are not allowed to enter the Qianqing Gate.

    Cheng'en, Ronglu and others are all third-class guards and are not allowed to guard the Qianqing Gate. Although they are all guards under the command of the imperial minister, they are divided into imperial guards, imperial guards, Qianqing gate guards and Qianqing gate guards.  , because the guards of Qianqing Gate are closer to the emperor, the meaning is extremely important to the third-class guards, so Chengen and others have always thought of guarding the Qianqing Gate opposite, which means your status will be very different.  .

    Ronglu snorted softly and said, "That's Zabudo, you're asking for trouble!"

    Cheng'en was furious when he heard this, and just as he was about to continue shouting and scolding, another group of third-class guards lined up, but it was time to change duties.  Chengen had no choice but to suppress his anger for the time being. After handing over the case report, he led everyone back to the guard squad room at Donghua Gate.

    The group of people walked through the snow and returned to the squad room. After opening the curtain and entering the house, because they were all Mongolian nobles, everyone had a servant waiting in the squad room to do their bidding.  The servants hurriedly gave coats and bags to their masters, and the guards changed into their regular robes and coats. They all sat on one side and ate the refreshments they had brought.

    Seeing that Cheng'en looked unkind, all the guards smiled and said nothing. They sat aside, holding tea, cigarettes and water, waiting to watch the show.

    This Cheng'en is the Irgenjueluo family of Manchuria's Xianglan Banner, one of the eight major surnames in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. There are many clans and many talents.  Cheng'en's grandfather Yiletong'a originally lived in Jilin. In the sixth year of Daoguang's reign, he served as the leader of Alchuka and returned to the chieftain Zhang Geer from the conquest. He was awarded the title of deputy capital, Ziguang Pavilion, and was appointed to Ningxia and Ninggu Pagoda.  , three surnames were deputy governors, and then moved to the capital.

    Cheng En is also a guard in Cheng Yin's palace, and he doesn't like Ronglu, who is usually not very gregarious.  When Chengen was first promoted to foreman last month, he hosted a banquet for all the guards and brothers. During the dinner, for some unknown reason, Ronglu and his close brother Zabudonak got into a fight, which caused Chengen's face to be disgraced.  This Zabudonak was a nobleman of the Mongolian Horqin tribe, a meritorious son of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and he was always close to Cheng'en.  The good brother was beaten by Ronglu, so Chengen naturally wanted to step forward, but Guiliang, the minister of the Ministry of War, came forward to mediate. Prince Yi Zaiyuan, the imperial minister and the minister of bodyguards, gave Guiliang the face and put Ronglu and Zabudo  That would be enough to give each of them a scolding.  But the relationship between Chengen and Ronglu was finally forged. From then on, Chengen always made trouble for Ronglu for no reason.

    Today, Ronglu contradicted him in public again. Chengen naturally couldn't keep it in his face. He was just an ordinary person.After the imperial edict, when anyone walks on the street, isn't it always a person who is cheered by and shouted at?  The more Chengen looked at Ronglu, the angrier he became. When Ronglu stood up and washed his hands and passed by him, Chengen stretched out his left foot and tripped Ronglu.

    Ronglu tripped and stumbled forward, almost falling to the ground. He couldn't help but become furious. He turned back and looked at Chengen coldly and said lightly: "Master Chengen, what do you mean?"

    Cheng¡¯en snorted and said with an evil smile: ¡°It¡¯s not interesting, I¡¯m just teasing you!¡±

    All the guards were meddlesome people. When they saw the two of them arguing, instead of trying to stop them, they started booing and laughing together, "Rong Lu, you have the guts to let go and practice your skills!" "Lord Cheng'en, teach this ignorant man a lesson.  You little brat!" "Let him have a long memory!"

    After a few flirtations, Ronglu and Chengen became angry. Ronglu snorted and said, "Let's go out and have sex. If you don't dare to come, you don't have a seed in your crotch!" Chengen was furious!  He said: "You bastard, let's see if I don't tear up your stinky mouth!" The two of them walked out of the room and came to the open courtyard of the squad room's quadrangle, getting ready for a fight.

    A group of guards in the room burst out laughing together, and then rushed to the eaves to watch the fun. The boys then brought out the teacups for everyone to sit down.  These nobles were lighting hookahs, nibbling melon seeds, and playing with iron eggs. They were chatting and laughing, as if they were watching a good show.

    Cheng En lost his dignity and used the black tiger move to dig out the heart. He punched Rong Lu in the chest with his right fist, but Rong Lu stepped aside and stomped on Cheng En's instep.  This stepping on the instep was a dirty trick only used by gangsters in the market. Chengen was caught off guard and cried out in pain while holding his right foot. Ronglu rushed forward, threw Chengen to the ground, and then rode on Chengen.  It was just a random beating.  Cheng'en angrily scolded Ronglu for being despicable and shameless, using all kinds of dirty tricks. Taking advantage of his strength, he turned over and took Ronglu's hand, and started beating him randomly regardless of the tricks.

    The two of them were fighting in the slippery snow, it was like a fight between scoundrels in the market. Coupled with the laughter of a group of guards, it turned the entire place where the guards were stationed into a mess.

    When the two of them were about to start fighting, they suddenly heard a loud shout: "What are you slaves doing?!"

    The guards all felt a shiver in their hearts. This voice was very familiar. When they looked back, it turned out to be the leader of the guards, Prince Yi Zaiyuan, the imperial minister and the leader of the guards!  Prince Yi Zaiyuan is the fifth grandson of Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of Emperor Kangxi. He is the Iron Hat King and has successively served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Han Army of Zhenglan Banner, the Commander-in-Chief of the Han Army of Zhenghong Banner, the Commander-in-Chief of the Mongolian Army of Xianglan Banner, and the Capital Commander of Han Army of Xiangbai Banner.  Tong, the Governor of Manchuria with a red flag, the imperial minister, the military parade minister, the fifteen good archery ministers and the minister of the bodyguard with a yellow flag.  He also served as the Chief Patriarch of Zhenglan Banner, You Zongzheng of Zongren Mansion, Zongren Zongling of Zongren Mansion, and President of Jade Certificate Hall. He also managed Jueluo School of Xianglan Banner, Ancestral Temple Ceremony and Close Branch Marriage, Luan Yuwei, Huqianying,  Yuqiangying, Shanpuying and Chongwenmen are supervising.  In the last years of Daoguang, under the orders of Gu, the imperial minister of the Xianfeng Dynasty also served as the minister of bodyguards with a yellow flag, and he was really the first prince of the dynasty.

    When all the guards saw that it was Zaiyuan arriving, they were so frightened that they stood aside and did not dare to say anything.  However, he saw an official of about the same age as him following Zai Yuan. He was dressed in a first-grade or second-grade uniform and wore a flower feather on his head. He had a dignified appearance but had a wicked smile on his face: "Oh, you guys are in a good mood today.  , I started practicing as soon as the heavy snow stopped. My lord, you are so lucky, these monkeys all know that they are practicing."

    Zaiyuan¡¯s face turned livid and he shouted angrily: ¡°A bunch of useless things, all of them will be fined three months¡¯ salary! Get out of here if you don¡¯t want me!¡±

    The guards secretly cursed the man in their hearts. If he hadn't fanned the flames, Zaiyuan wouldn't have gotten so angry even if he was involved in a fight. Three months' salary is a lot of money.

    One of the people returning to the house muttered in a low voice: "Where did this fucking wild dog come from?" Another person replied: "Keep your voice down, this is Su Lao Liu, the sixth brother of Prince Zheng Duan Hua.  , It¡¯s a Man-Han bastard!¡± The first person laughed in a low voice: ¡°Why is it a Man-Han bastard? Come on, let¡¯s go into the house and talk.¡± All the guards returned to the house in a swarm of laughter.

    Ronglu and Chengen separated in the snow. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, with blood hanging from the corners of their mouths, and they looked at each other hatefully.

    Na Sushun walked to the two of them, squatted down with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you, there are many incompetent people among us Manchus. Look at those young masters who even bring the servants with them when they are on duty in the palace.  There are a lot of clothes, bags, food boxes, cigarette pouches, and other gadgets, and I feel more comfortable here than at home. When these two fight, they don't even start making noises heartlessly. Did you see that, this is our forbidden palace guard, haha.  "

    Zaiyuan stepped forward with an angry face and shouted: "Why are you two dog slaves fighting?!"

    Sushun chuckled and said: "My lord, you don't have to be angry. How many times is this?"Ten years of old practice cannot be changed in a short time. Why not leave these two thorns to me and I will discipline them for the prince.  "

    Zaiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The emperor asked you to go to the Guards Department to select personnel and rebuild the Shangyu Reserve Department. There are many good talents, why do you choose these two people?"

    Sushun put on his horse-hoove sleeves and laughed and said: "The ferocity of these two fighting is just like the ferocity I used when I was wandering in the market."

    Zaiyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You have such a temper."

    Sushun smiled and said: "Not much to say, Your Majesty, in the evening Darong and the opera house will invite Your Majesty to listen to the play. My second brother and I will make a circle together to wait for you."

    Zaiyuan chuckled and said, "We're on time, we're on time." As he said that, he turned around and hummed a tune before leading a group of Goshiha away, without even looking at Ronglu and Chengen on the ground.
