Chapter two hundred and eighty ninth history
While Wang Haikun was laughing and scolding in Hong Kong, his clone Kunlun had already arrived in Beijing and continued to investigate Wang Jian's identity.
Wang Jian's change occurred in the Prince Gong Mansion in Beijing. Now, Prince Gong Mansion is a national key cultural relic protection unit, a first-class museum, a 5a-level scenic spot. Kunlun does not know much about history and needs an expert to accompany him. He first found Ding Jiajun. This guy is a master of history, but Ding Jiajun said he was not proficient in Qing history and needed another person to come.
The expert Ding Jiajun found was Professor Angelababy from the Institute of Qing History of Renmin University. He heard that Kunlun was going to visit Prince Gong’s Mansion. Although Professor Yang was in his forties, he still came happily. Two top experts from China accompanied a star to Prince Gong’s Mansion. They chose to enter through the Western Gate of the Garden. It was summer vacation and there were many tourists. The garden was full of tourists from all over the country. They visited and played under the guidance of the guide's small flag.
Professor Yang said: "The Prince Gong Mansion was opened in 1996, but there were no tourists. It was not until the TV series "Iron-Toothed and Bronze Teeth" Ji Xiaolan and Liu Luoguo were hit that this place became a famous spot. These people did not come for Prince Gong Mansion, they came for Heshen."
Everyone laughed and just thought it was a joke. Continue walking south. The royal mansion is magnificent, covering an area of more than 80 acres, and is walking slowly. Professor Yang thought he was just here to act as a tour guide, but he didn't expect that this star had a deep study of Prince Gong's Mansion. Every once in a while, he pointed to a building and said that it was not like this.
Professor Yang explained that the Gong Mansion had changed a lot after a hundred years. After the Qing Emperor abdicated, Prince Gong's descendants mortgaged the palace, and 80,000 silver dollars were profitable, and eventually became the campus of Fu Ren University. After liberation, the ownership of the Gong Mansion became even more complicated. The garden was changed into a dormitory of the state organs, and the mansion became the Art Normal College, the Chinese Conservatory of Music, the Affiliated Middle School, the *** Art Institute and other units. In the 1952, the front entrance was demolished and built a canteen. In the 1960s, the air conditioner factory occupied the eastern part of the garden, and the State Administration of Management occupied the western buildings. By the end of the 1970s, it had become a slum and lived in hundreds of families. As for the items in the Gong Mansion, whether it was small antique calligraphy and paintings or large furniture water tank screens, as long as they could be moved, they were all moved away. Now the exhibition in the royal mansion is basically replicas.
Kunlun remembers that Wang Jian and Pastor Forman lived in the house near the east road of the Wangfu, so he walked over to check it out and saw a row of buildings that were very different from those of that year. Professor Yang said that the original house here collapsed in the 1970s due to disrepair, and these were later imitated.
Seeing Kunlun frowning and stopping here, Professor Yang was afraid of the cold, so he told him the history of Prince Gong's Mansion, starting with "a Prince Gong's Mansion, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty". This big mansion was originally Heshen's home. After Heshen's death, he became Prince Qing Yonglin's palace. It was not until the second year of Xianfeng that he was given to Prince Gong, becoming today's Prince Gong's mansion.
"Heshen fell and Jiaqing had enough food. It is said that Heshen's property was as high as 800 million taels of silver, which was the income of the 15th year of the Qing Dynasty. This is unrealistic. Heshen's property should be around 20 million taels of silver. By the way, according to research, Heshen died here."
Kunlun obviously raised his spirits: "What, Heshen died at his own home?"
"It's a kind of preferential treatment," said Professor Yang. "After Qianlong's death, Emperor Jiaqing immediately arrested Heshen, but in order to act as a kind monarch, he still gave him some preferential treatment, such as imprisoning at home, giving him orders to commit suicide, and being able to have a complete body."
"When Heshen committed suicide, he left a poem. It has been a dream for fifty years. Today, he let go of the world. He was the day when he was flooding the water and he recognized cigarettes as his back. So there is a saying among the people that Heshen was the reincarnation of Ma Jia, the concubine of Yongzheng. You should have heard of this story. When Qianlong was a prince, he had some beautiful misunderstandings with his father's concubine. The concubine was sentenced to death. Before his death, Qianlong bit his finger and pointed a red dot on the concubine's forehead, which was used as a proof of recognition in the next life. Later, he met the young Heshen. Heshen was not as fat as Wang Gang played, but a very handsome handsome guy. Qianlong thought he was the reincarnation of Ma Jia, so he loved it very much. You can try the first two lines of the poem, does this mean?"
"The dream has been true for fifty years, and I am now giving up the world." Ding Jiajun read it again, "Heshen was fifty when he died. He meant that these fifty years had been like dreams and no regrets."
"In the past, the water is filled with dragons, and he recognized cigarettes as his back." Professor Yang continued to recite, "There are many explanations in the second half of the text. It is generally believed that it is Heshen's curse. Once he reincarnates successfully, it will harm the Aisin Jueluo family. Therefore, folk legends say that Heshen reincarnates into Empress Dowager Cixi and ruins the Qing Dynasty. Of course, these are just stories that add fun."
This is probably the most valuable part of Prince Gong’s Mansion, but Kunlun is still unwilling to leave. He asked, “What’s the use of this place after Heshen’s death?”
Professor Yang said: "After Heshen was sentenced to death, Jiaqing rewarded the western half of Hedi to his younger brother King Qing. This is eastward and still belongs to Heshen's son Fengshen Yinde. This is because Fengshen Yinde is the son-in-law, so he is not implicated. When the princess died, this half became Prince Qing's Mansion."
Kunlun took a deep breath: "The princess has a haunted house at home, isn't she so scared?"
Professor Yang smiled and said, "You may not be clear about the size of the royal palace. Prince Gong's Mansion has 60,000 square meters, and the princess will never pass here. If the haunted house is not valid, it is at most a haunted house and the ruthless imperial family. No one has died in that royal palace, and all the deaths are very miserable, such as hanging beams, jumping into wells, and slashing their necks. There are also palaces in the Forbidden City where tragedies have occurred. If you are not taboo, you can only let your servants live or be guest rooms."
"Yes, this was the guest room in 1890." Kunlun said, "Prince Gong's guests stayed here, and I think something happened at that time."
Professor Yang and Ding Jiajun didn't know what he was saying, and didn't take it to heart.
...
After visiting Prince Gong's Mansion, it was already dinner time. Kunlun hosted two scholars and sent Professor Yang away before discussing with Ding Jiajun.
"I know it may be quite thrilling, but there is indeed such a possibility. He is the reincarnation of Heshen," said Kunlun.
Ding Jiajun is a scholar who reads a lot of books and has a wide range of knowledge. Although he is young and has already gained the reputation of a bookcase, the more he knows, the more he knows awe. There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world. Ding Jiajun himself is Shi Jiajun's reincarnation, so he recognizes this assumption, but the assumption can be bold and you must be careful when verifying it.
Heshen’s life experience is well recorded in history, but there is not so much information to check in his so-called Ma Jia family in his past life. In fact, it doesn’t matter who Ma Jia is, because it is very likely that everyone has countless past lives. After normal reincarnation, they will forget their identity in their previous life, which is the so-called Mengpo Tang.
"Heshen is good at financial management and corruption. Ma Jia is a woman. She also became a concubine in the palace and did not have much room to display her economic talents. However, Wang Jian inherited Heshen's talents well and accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time. In the Wang Huayun stage, the property of the Wang family consortium expanded rapidly with the real estate in Hong Kong. In the Wang Haikun stage, the world situation changed a lot. It was also very skillful to have wealth not shrunk at this stage. From this perspective, it is indeed possible that it was Heshen. So how did Heshen reincarnate frequently?"
Ding Jiajun said that he had only a little understanding of Qing history, but in fact he was a self-righteous statement. He just was not so particular, but he still knew Heshen quite well. Heshen was inferior to one person in the Qianlong Dynasty and above ten thousand people. During the Qianlong period, Western powers had already begun to contact this Eastern Empire. As the emperor's favorite minister, he had the opportunity and ability to obtain any desired information, such as Buddhist scriptures hidden in the Lhasa palace, scroll treasures presented by Western envoys, etc.
"Does Wang Jian's eyebrows have cinnabar mole?" Ding Jiajun suddenly asked.
Wang Haikun, who is far away in Hong Kong, is having a banquet with his friend at his residence. He and Kunlun are connected to each other and the two parties share information. When he heard Ding Jiajun's question, he immediately checked the photos and oil paintings of Wang Jian hanging on the wall of his home, as well as the bronze statue of the half-body at the door, and confirmed that there was no mark.
"No." Kunlun told Ding Jiajun.
"That's right, A Guizai was taken over in an instant. Heshen's soul never left, just hid in the house of Prince Gong's Mansion. He was sentenced to death in that house. His soul had been dormant for ninety years and finally met a prosthetic body from Hong Kong..."
"Maybe A Guizai's birth was arranged when Heshen was alive. With his wisdom, it is impossible to predict his own end after Emperor Qianlong's death. You must know that Heshen was only 49 years old when Qianlong died. He was young and strong, and could live for a long time. He could not stand by, nor could he escape, nor could he rebel. Apart from death, there was only one way to let himself survive in another way." Kunlun perfected Ding Jiajun's idea.
"It's a pity that there is no time machine, so I can't go back and investigate it clearly." Ding Jiajun sighed regretfully, "The secret of the reincarnation of human souls seems to be right in front of me, but unfortunately time is a gap that we cannot cross... By the way, how did you think of visiting Prince Gong's Mansion? How did you know that the row of collapsed houses used to live in by Wang Jian? Could it be..."
"I've been to history," Kunlun said, "in the way of wandering, one hundred and fifty years in the blink of an eye."
Ding Jiajun suddenly realized: "Actually, that failed transformation has determined the winner and lose. Tell me what history looks like."
Kunlun told him the story of the two sides fighting for 150 years that day. One hundred and fifty years were just a moment in the long river of history. There was already photography technology in the late Qing Dynasty and the historical materials were detailed, but there were no rare new discoveries.
Ding Jiajun is more interested in the soul being able to travel through time and space. He analyzed: "It seems that the soul has no mass. We know that time belongs to objects with mass. Objects without mass will move at the speed of light, so no one can see the soul. That is the concept in four-dimensional space."
Liu Kunlun had no say in this mysterious question. He was more concerned about deciphering the sheepskin scriptures, so he asked Ding Jiajun what new discoveries had been made, but Dr. Ding suddenly became hesitant.
"You said, do you have a strong relationship with me or Mr. Ji?" Ding Jiajun asked a strange question.
"You are different. You are a simple scientist. He has a wide variety of identities and I can't see through him." Kunlun has reported it.
Ding Jiajun finally told the truth: "I suspect that the so-called fragment he dug from Xueye Lake for me was fake and was fabricated by someone. Because there were problems with the writing, there were few researchers in the ancient Xiangxiong writing and there was no real authority, including me. In the fragment he gave me, I discovered a grammatical error. This can only be written by another scholar of ancient Xiangxiong writing. This subtle flaw will hardly be discovered. Unfortunately, I am a stubborn person in academics."
