During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the traitor Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into Beijing in order to maintain his power, betrayed the Central Plains, and stole the fruits of the victory of Li Zicheng's rebel army. Shunzhi seized Beijing and established the Qing Empire. This left the head Emperor Shunzhi, the second Emperor Kangxi, and the third Emperor Yongzheng. By the time of Emperor Yongzheng, the offspring of cigarettes were cut off. The three palaces and six courtyards were all princesses, and there was no prince. As a human king, after the emperor is broken, who will succeed to the throne in the future?Emperor Yongzheng was worried all day long.
This year, Zhenggong Niangniang has been pregnant for more than four months. Yongzheng and Niangniang are both looking forward to being a prince, and no one knows what they can give birth to.
One morning, Yongzheng passed the decree and went to the palace of Xuanzheng Palace. Zhenggong Niangniang entered the palace to see the emperor, Yongzheng looked at the posture of Zhenggong Niangniang and said: "Xuan you go to the palace for nothing else, you are pregnant today, I don't know if it is a man or a woman?"Lonely Wanfen Remember, Gu asked you to bring the palace maid and the servant, and then sent 500 royal forest soldiers and a royal midwife to send you to Rehe (now Chengde) by car to recuperate. If you give birth to a prince, Lone will take you back to Beijing, if you don't give birth to a prince again, Lone will choose another palace, and you will be in Rehe, and you will live in Rehe. "
The main palace lady was not happy and did not dare to export, so she had to receive the order to go down to the palace, and was sent to Rehe on the third day.
Niangniang came to Rehe, and the governor of Rehe received the holy decree and entrusted Niangniang to the care of Li Shanren, who lived in Erxian Residence. Speaking of Li Yuanwai, this person is a native of Lijiazhuang, Sichuan, who did business outside Gubeikou when he was young, and later fell to Rehe and became a wealthy family. Li Yuanwai was originally of Han nationality, but he came to Rehe for fear of being angry with the Manchus, so he called himself a Manchu.
Besides, Niangniang, the pregnancy was full in October, and Li Yuanwai specially built a yellow thatched delivery room for her. One night, the mother gave birth, and as soon as the child was born, the mother asked the palace maid what was going on, and the palace maid told her that she had given birth to a princess. When the mother heard this, she pointed at the child and scolded: "Wrongdoer, I hope you are a prince, but you are a princess, let me have the face to meet the monarch!."What face do I have to live in the world? The palace maids persuaded each other again and again, but the mother had to be.
Commit suicide. Coincidentally, at this time, the third lady of Li Yuanwai gave birth to a son. When the old man saw this, he hurriedly called Mrs. Li to come to her, and Mrs. Li said to Mrs. Li from beginning to end, and Mrs. Li hurried to the delivery room to see her mother.
Li came to the delivery room and said to Niangniang: "Niangniang Chitose, don't worry!."Tonight, my third sister gave birth to a son, you give us the princess, we will change the son to the mother, won't the mother have the prince?When the mother heard this, she was very happy, and even said: "Wow, when I return to the palace, I will definitely repay my kindness." Li said, "Let's do it quickly!"After speaking, Li took the princess to the third lady's delivery room, explained to the third lady's intentions, and rushed to the mother's delivery room with the little boy in his arms. Niangniang had the prince urgently called the palace lady Cainu, and the palace maids all entered the delivery room. Li said: "Gong ladies, is the mother born male or female?""The palace ladies said, "It's a princess, that's right." Lee said, "Look again!""The palace maids took a closer look, it was really a boy, and hurriedly reported to the mother and said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, we are wrong, it is not the princess, it is the prince, please forgive the mother!."The mother said, "Okay, just be careful in the future." Niangniang had a prince, and ordered her subordinates to report to the governor of Rehe, and the governor sent a fast horse to gallop to the capital to report the good news to Yongzheng. Yongzheng received good news, and the dragon's heart was happy. Message: "Serve the mother well, don't be lazy, and wait for the full moon to take you back to the palace." ”
A month has passed in the blink of an eye. Take the main palace Niangniang back to the Beijing Palace, Yongzheng promoted Li Yuanwai to a foreign officer, and gave a reward of **5,000 taels.
