Synopsis
During the Jiandao period, the Qing Dynasty had already faded from the glory of the prosperous days of Kangxi and Qianlong. The canals were silted up, the salt was rotting, the treasury was empty, the mountains and rivers were in tatters, and there were many disadvantages. Aixinjueluo Minning came to the throne and changed his reign to Daoguang. This emperor who once put down the Guiyou Rebellion and was both civil and military, wore a patchwork dragon robe and was recorded in the history books for his frugality. He also tried to manage the crisis with diligence - dredging canals, promoting sea transportation, and cutting salt abuses. He tried his best to keep the dynasty alive, but in the end he was trapped in the fate of the feudal dynasty from prosperity to decline. And Niu Hulu Meilan, a Manchu girl who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, was the only light and willfulness in his dull and diligent career. She entered the palace as a show girl of the Eight Banners at the age of 13, and ascended to the throne in 11 years. This unparalleled honor sealed by history was the indulgence given to her by Daoguang for half his life. He devoted all his life's love to her, protected her in the palace, and allowed her to gather countless honors; but this ultimate love was also a double-edged sword, which became the cause of disputes in the court and the cause of her jealousy. Under the glory, there was only the sadness of the times. He was the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, able to push forward the reform of water transport, and be able to quell the Guiyou Incident, but he could not protect her stability in life, and could not solve the historical blank of the mystery of her death; he wanted to protect the country and the people, but he could not resist the opium poisoning and foreign aggression. After all, under the fire of the Opium War and the humiliation of the "Nanjing Treaty", he watched the country sink and collapse step by step. Empress Xiaoquan's honor and tragedy are a footnote to the gentleness of the Daoguang Dynasty; Emperor Daoguang's diligence and helplessness are the core of the tragedy of the era. In these ragged mountains and rivers, there are not only the fetters of love and hate between emperors and concubines, but also the ups and downs of the people's lives in the court - no matter whether they are nobles or concubines, in the torrent of history, they cannot escape their involuntary fate and can only drift with the tide of the dynasty's decline. Purpose: to tear apart the absurd illusion of palace battles in the Qing Dynasty and restore the true picture of the Daoguang Dynasty when the dynasty turned from prosperity to decline: there is no bottomless conspiracy here, only the double entanglement of feudal etiquette and the torrent of history, as well as the dilapidated mountains and rivers that have been in use for hundreds of years and the suffering of the people. Fate. Emperor Daoguang's life was a blend of sugar and sword: he was both civilized and military in his youth and had the edge to quell the Guiyou Revolution, and he was also pragmatic in his diligent administration and push for the Salt Reform. However, he eventually fell into misery amid the ruin of the country and the poverty of the people, the death of his lover, and the internal and external troubles of the Opium War; he was known as "wearing a patchwork dragon robe" Her frugality has been engraved in the history books, and her love for one person has become a rare footnote of love in the Qing Dynasty. I want to use historical facts as the bones and fill in the history: let readers see that the real Qing palace was never a romance, but a hard-fought survival; let Daoguang no longer be labeled as a "mediocre emperor", but a tragic emperor like Chongzhen who "had the intention to maintain the status quo, but was unable to recover"; let this deep love between the emperor and the empress become the most touching and cruel footnote of the dust of the times in the ragged mountains and rivers - It turns out that no matter how noble the Tian family is, in the face of the wheel of history, there is only the sadness of "having no choice".
