圆明园起雍正朝,事成于乾隆,闳敞壮丽冠中国。清制宫中祖制严,兴居有时,饮食服御有常度,帝恒苦之,时巡幸热河。林清变后,则罕幸热河,而常驻园,后暨妃嫔皇子悉侍焉。咸丰末,园尾。载淳御极,洪金田事败,张乐行、濑汶光先后毙,内外颂承平。慈禧、载淳思所以为乐者,于是重建圆明园之说起。时交涉日棘,库无储蓄,谏言不行,恭忠亲王坦然力争之。一日叩宫门请见,载淳知为园事也,问曰:“尔来为阻建园乎?朕志久决,亦何必拂太后意(太后谓慈禧)。且朕居彼,与尔等讨论国是亦甚善。”恭王叩首言:“当今内患虽平,外难日亟,库藏无存蓄。圆明园宪、纯两庙所修,当时财力远过今日。且纯庙谕旨:后世子孙勿得踵事华饰。今建园简陋,无以备翠华之临幸,复旧则国币不足。以某之愚,不若少缓便。”载淳默良久,卧榻上。王更言祖制不可失,历数所以训俭者。时载淳好著黑色衣,谓曰:“尔熟祖训,于朕事尚有说乎?”王曰:“帝此衣即非祖制也。”(宫中制色衣无黑色)因诫载淳勿微行,引白龙余且事释之。载淳曰:“朕此衣同载一色,尔乃不诫而来谏朕(载,王之子也)。尔姑退,朕有后命。”旋召大学士文祥入,且坐正殿曰:“朕有旨,勿展视,下与军机公阅,速行之。”文祥知其怒,拆视则杀王诏也。文祥碰头再三请,终弗怿。文祥退,叩太后宫,泣诉之。太后曰:“尔勿言,将诏与予。”杀王之事乃寝。
