At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi ruled for sixty years. After his death, his fourth prince, Yin Zhen, slaughtered his brother, seized the throne, and became Emperor Yongzheng. Emperor Yongzheng kept a group of minions under his command. It is said that these people have the ability to climb the eaves and walk the wall. They use a leather bag to kill people, which has mechanisms and contains several sharp knives. As long as the leather bag is covered on the head of the person, and the mouth of the bag is pulled with a rope, the head will be cut into the leather bag. This extremely cruel thing is called blood drops. Therefore, all the officials under him, big and small, are on guard.
One day, in the early morning of Yongzheng Dynasty, the two classes of civil and military personnel stood neatly and silently. Only the class of Chen Shiguan, a great scholar, was vacant, and Yongzheng wanted to inquire, and the official on duty presented Chen Shiguan's request for a day off. The next morning, Chen Shiguan came, and after the Baigong ceremony, Yongzheng asked Chen Shiguan, "Why did you ask to leave yesterday?"
Chen Shiguan immediately knelt down and said, "The old wife of the minister's family gave birth to a child. Therefore, I asked for a day off, and it is a capital crime."
"Is it male or female?"
"Long live the song, Fuyin of Tuowan is a little boy."
"Oh!" Yongzheng pondered for a while. "This is a coincidence, the queen just gave birth to the crown prince yesterday. The two children were born on the same day, and the happy event between the Qing family and me is very happy, and it can be passed down from later generations. I don't know if these two children will be born the same? When the Qing family sent the child to the palace to show the queen." Chen Shiguan was shocked when he heard that.
It is also normal for a wife to ask for a day off to give birth to a child. But to send the child to the palace to see, it is clear that I suspect that I am lying, and if I lie a hundred lies, the scourge of deceiving the king will happen immediately. As the saying goes, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger." Fortunately, my wife did give birth to a child. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his back without realizing it. He hurriedly lay on the ground, took off the official hat of the big red top, and knelt down and played: "Your Majesty is holy and virtuous, the crown prince is a gift of dragon seed, and the blessing is all in the sky. The old minister would like to congratulate you first. The children of the courtiers are among the sons of dogs, so what's the point." Yongzheng's face sank: "There is no need to say it, quickly send your son to the palace for After saying that, he stood up and waved his right hand, and the ceremonial officer shouted, "Retreat!" The officials immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Long live."
Yongzheng returned to the palace, and all the officials withdrew from the court. In the court room, ordinary civil and military officials heard that the emperor would "summon" Chen Shiguan's son as soon as he was born. This kind of special favor had never been seen before, and they congratulated Chen Shiguan one after another. Chen Shiguan's heart was like a big stone pressing down today, and he only said to these officials:
"Please go back and talk about it another day." He went back to the house and told his wife that the Queen was looking after the children. His wife sighed and said, "I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse."
At this time, the outer chamber came in to report that a big eunuch led a few small internal eunuchs to drive a palace carriage. Chen Shiguan had no choice but to order the wet nurse to carry the child into the palace carriage and go straight to the inner palace. In the inner courtyard of the palace, the guards were strictly guarded. A eunuch outside the palace gate passed the imperial decree: "Only Chen Shiguan's children are allowed to enter the palace, and the rest of the people are temporarily kept outside the palace." The palace maid took the swaddling clothes and continued to transfer to the inner palace carriage to enter the palace. The Chen family's wet nurse had to stay outside the palace gate, holding her breath and waiting left and right. After an hour, the small palace carriage came out and stopped inside the palace gate. One of the eunuchs summoned Chen Mansion's wet nurse to accept the order, and the empress passed the order by mouth: "Chen Mansion's child is talented and handsome, and he is deeply loved. You must raise him with good intentions. All the gifts given by the queen and the concubines will be collected and stored after they are handed over to Chen Shiguan. There are also silver satin items given to Chen Mansion's wet nurse, etc. Thank you."
The wet nurse hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. After giving thanks, she took the reward plate and placed it in the car outside the palace. Then she took a look at the baby's swaddle.
When the nanny returned to Chen's mansion, Chen Shiguan and his wife saw their son come back, looked at a piece of yellow rice on the swaddling coat, and listened to the nanny's words to the queen, feeling that the palace was very kind to the child, and they were very happy. After a while, when changing the child's diaper, the nanny was stunned for a while. It was obviously a boy, but she had changed into a girl doll. As soon as Chen Shiguan heard the nanny's report, he suddenly understood in his heart, and ordered the people in the mansion to wait and not to leak this matter out. Chen Shiguan knew that Yongzheng did not have a crown prince and had just given birth to a daughter, so he obviously exchanged his son. Chen and his wife were in their forties, and they had a child when they were old. They loved each other like hearts and livers, but they were taken away by the emperor. They were really dumb and could not tell if they were suffering.
The next day, Chen Shiguan wrote a book and asked to resign and return to his hometown. Yongzheng read it, knew it, and immediately approved it. Chen Shiguan returned to his hometown and ordered the main door to be closed. Ten large characters were written on the door: "If you want this door to open, unless my son comes."
Later, when Yongzheng ruled for fourteen years, he was stabbed to death, and the child took over the throne, which was the famous Qianlong Emperor. When Qianlong grew up, he also knew that he was the son of the Chen family, so he went to Jiangnan seven times to visit his parents in his hometown. The main door of Chen Shiguan was also wide open to welcome. What about this precious daughter of the Chen family? After growing up, she married Changshu Jiang Ge's old family as a daughter-in-law.
She herself also knew that she was a "princess" baseboard, so she did all kinds of evil, and her nature was also very sharp and pimple. She couldn't sleep hot, cold, eat hard, or soft; help her beat her back hard, not light; go out to play far, not close; often real-world friends call her "Second Grandma Jiang", who can't be touched.
