In fact, Prince An, who was in charge of palace security, believed that the sound of firecrackers could easily cover up the sound of gunfire.

Therefore, for the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, no cannons are allowed within the Imperial City.

However, Mr. Se still had couplets posted in Yongshou Palace, some palace lanterns were hung, and the food was slightly improved.

And for the first time, Qianlong was allowed to move around the Yongshou Palace at will. After all, during the New Year, there must be a bit of human touch.

"The sound of firecrackers eliminates the year old, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of households exchange old talismans for new peaches every day."

In the square in front of the main hall of Yongshou Palace, Qianlong, who was wearing a cotton coat and accompanied by Concubine Wang, watched the fireworks exploding outside the imperial city and silently recited a poem about the New Year by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty in his heart.

Before that, he also composed many Chinese New Year poems, but he always felt that these poems were not as good as Wang Anshi's.

Since he was trapped in the Yongshou Palace, the former group of poets could not enter the palace, which made Qianlong feel that his poetry level had declined somewhat. Therefore, he did not have any good works during this period, which has to be said to be a pity.

The Manchus used to not celebrate the Spring Festival. They only started to celebrate this Han Chinese festival after entering the customs, and the Ming Dynasty established the Spring Festival as a legal holiday.

"Tomorrow will be the 41st year of Qianlong's reign. Unexpectedly, I have been the emperor for forty years. I was twenty-four years old forty years ago. The past events when I ascended the throne are so vivid in my mind."

Qianlong, who has some gray hair on his temples, will be sixty-five tonight. Thinking that he has been emperor for forty years, he feels somewhat sad.

Throughout the dynasties, only a handful of emperors have reigned for more than forty years.

The concubine Wang who was accompanying her said softly: "The emperor can be the emperor for tens of thousands of years."

The Wang family is the daughter of Baoyi, a Manchurian Zhengbai Banner. She is the daughter of Dutong Sige. Her ancestor's surname is Wang. However, there is an unwritten rule about Baoyi's origin, that is, all sons will change their Manchu surnames, while daughters will inherit Han surnames.

Sige passed away ten years ago. His son Ba Aning was originally the deputy commander of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Jiangning. Later, after his sister gave birth to the tenth princess for the emperor, he was specially favored to take on the important position of salt administration in Lianghuai.

Uncle Wang is Man Dou, the minister assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to manage the Chengde Summer Resort.

"There is no emperor who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Everyone is destined to die. How can I transcend this law of life and death?... I have a very open mind about life and death. If God bless me, I only hope to be like the emperor Yuji. It’s only been sixty years, and I dare not stand side by side with the emperor.”

Qianlong straightened his cotton coat and looked up at the sun, moon and stars.

The breeze brought the smell of sulfur, which gradually filled the entire palace, giving this palace, which had lost its popularity, a hint of the new year.

After a long time, Qianlong looked away, glanced at the guards who were watching him in the distance, gently took Concubine Dun's hand and walked slowly towards the palace.

Although the pace is slow, it is firm and powerful.

The wind will blow away the smell of sulfur and the shadow that casts a shadow over the imperial city.

If he can be emperor for forty years, he will definitely be emperor for fifty or sixty years.

Because he is Qianlong.——End of this volume.
