Chapter 550 Qianlong's Noble Lady 3
Not only are the whole family simple-minded, they are also extremely cautious.
Of course, in the eyes of the host, this is indeed her blessing.
They have that pride and sense of superiority!
The nanny who returned to the main courtyard looked a little solemn.
The old ancestor in the room listened calmly to the younger generations and maids' chattering. He glanced at her and said nothing.
It was not until everyone had left that he casually asked about that family.
Mammy had been waiting all night and finally had the chance to speak.
He described the reactions of the three members of their family in detail word by word.
The ancestor was a little surprised!
After a while, he suddenly sneered.
"There is a clever one, but unfortunately, he has a bad fate! Ha!"
The old lady smiled lovingly: "Let's ask the eldest master to come tomorrow! Let her enter the palace with confidence!"
Xue Li entered the palace with the silver bills sent by several families.
She was absorbed in observing the familiar scenery.
See the emperor's younger brother, Yonglin, who was severely punished for his unruly behavior during Qianlong's reign.
However, after his brother ascended the throne, he began to restrain his own princes.
He was also a smart man. He probably felt that after Jiaqing ascended the throne, he had nothing to do with the fight for the throne, so there was no need to pretend anymore.
Of course, Jiaqing also loved his younger brother very much.
This can be seen from the fact that after Heshen was brought down, his huge and luxurious mansion was given to Yonglin.
Xueli didn't mind whether he was really bohemian or just doing it on purpose.
Is she someone who can sit idle?!
After facing the old man, shouldn’t you find a handsome young man to cleanse your eyes?
I just feel a little resentful when I see Yonglin Xueli.
Yonglin is twenty years older than her. To put it bluntly, he can be her father.
Besides, men, after the age of thirty, are like tractors climbing a hill.
It was gone in two bursts. What did she want him to do?
Xue Li shifted her gaze and looked at the study room!
Well, the future Emperor Daoguang is pretty good.
He is four years older than her and is now a 17-year-old boy!
Can she try a sweet romance? !
Seeing the beautiful palace maids serving him, Xue Li calmed down again.
Sweet or not is not important!
As long as you can eat it.
Some thin dogs look thin, but they are not as thin as they should be.
Well, especially her small hands, aren't they just to make him look bigger?
Sydney's spirit hooks up with the old woman.
"How about we cheer on your father-in-law?!"
The old woman version of the puppet maid, alias Xingzhen, looked at Xueli dryly, with an expression that was hard to describe.
"The one who holds power now is the emperor. You can take action against the current emperor!"
After a long while, he uttered these words.
Xue Li supported her and talked and laughed.
Looking up, it turned out to be the side hall of Xianfu Palace.
At this time, Qianlong's concubines lived in the six western palaces, and the new emperor's concubines lived in the six eastern palaces.
After all, the new emperor doesn’t have many concubines!
Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times and collected many beauties, but those of low status were not worthy of the title.
Most of the other people with status couldn't outlast him!
Therefore, there are only a few of Emperor Qianlong's concubines alive at this time, and their health conditions are not very good.
The fresh bud of Xueli flower has arrived at the West Six Palaces which is filled with decadence.
It's weird no matter how you look at it!
No one made things difficult for her, and no one bothered to get close to her.
The one living in the main seat is Concubine Lin, who is even more quiet.
Please ask An Xueli to stay in the house and read!
Mainly focus on Emperor Jiaqing!
We agreed that he must make him yell at an old lady.
Xue Li searched carefully in the harem for a long time and found a nanny who had served his mother who was just the right person!
Because she was worried about her brothers, she never left the palace.
Jiaqing respected her very much!
Sydney is weaving her surveillance network again.
I accidentally discovered a lot of wild mandarin ducks!
Of course, I also spotted several handsome guards!
It is also pleasing to see Sydney when she is out for a stroll.
But while he was still waiting for the opportunity, Qianlong learned that Haodaer had given him two beauties.
Upon listening, one of them looked very much like his first wife.
The old man was a little excited!
Rumor has it that Sydney is serving the emperor in bed!
Xue Li was carried out of the palace by a young eunuch and went to the Ningshou Palace, which was built eight years ago by Emperor Qianlong for his retirement, at a cost of more than 143 million taels of silver.
After Xueli arrived, she finally understood who Heshen's mansion was modeled after.
It is also interesting that after Kangxi's death, he left 800 million taels of silver to Yongzheng, after Yongzheng's death, he left 3400 million taels of silver to Qianlong, and after Qianlong's death, he left 2000 million taels of silver in debt to Jiaqing.
Some people think that he still left a trap for Heshen.
I guess Qianlong himself thought so too.
But he probably never thought about it or didn't take it seriously. A favorite of the emperor, a corrupt official affected the entire government and even made the people's lives miserable.
Some foreigners even recorded in their books that in the so-called Celestial Empire, the people had to sell their children to survive.
How ironic!
Plus, he can earn and spend!
He was quite accomplished in the early stages.
It encouraged land reclamation, attached importance to agricultural production, and allowed merchants to sell grain in areas with poor harvests.
These measures increased the country's fiscal revenue to 4700 million taels.
By the 8182nd year of Qianlong's reign, the revenue had reached million taels.
This was the peak of the Qing Dynasty!
However, Qianlong also had a bad habit, which was spending money like water.
He made six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, fought many battles, and also bought some luxurious things, all of which brought considerable burdens to the common people.
By the time Jiaqing ascended the throne, there was not much silver left in the national treasury, and the country even owed a debt of 2000 million taels.
Why did Jiaqing ascend the throne and try every means to change the status quo but was powerless and unable to reverse the situation?
Jiaqing's political ability was even more mediocre, and he was unable to increase revenue or reduce expenditure.
Although Jiaqing seized a lot of money from Heshen's house, this could not change the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
By the 4013th year of the Jiaqing reign, the Qing government's total revenue had fallen back to million taels, and it still had to spend hundreds of millions of taels of silver to suppress domestic uprisings.
From then on, the Qing Dynasty quickly entered the situation of "Dao-Xian decline"!
Therefore, historians say that Kangxi founded the country, Yongzheng ruled the country, and Qianlong lost the country.
By the time Emperor Daoguang ascended the throne, there were only a few million taels of silver left in the national treasury.
The poor Emperor Dao not only had to patch his clothes, but he also had to calculate the price of an egg (the Ministry of Internal Affairs quoted him 5 taels of silver for an egg).
Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, only Yongzheng surpassed Kangxi, while the others were inferior to the previous one.
Thinking of this, Xue Li directly suppressed it with her soul.
Qianlong was still happily waiting for the little beauty when he suddenly had a splitting headache and lay down.
He is already old, and no amount of incense can hide the old-age smell on his body.
Xue Li walked in with a cold look!
"I, your servant, pay my respects to the Emperor, may the Emperor be blessed with good health and good fortune!"
Qianlong was already old and his eyesight was blurry.
Now he tried to look at her with eyes wide open.
The eunuch who was serving went down sensibly.
Xue Li sat on an embroidery stool nearby with a calm expression.
The fragrance of snow pear is refreshing.
