Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 21: Hurry up and buy an official

The reason why Yinglian married his precious granddaughter to Heshen, whose family was in ruins, was because he saw that Heshen, who was hardworking and studious, would be extraordinary in the future.

This grandson-in-law is indeed extraordinary. When he came to talk about the Jia family yesterday, he guessed why the emperor wanted to compile the biography of the second official. Therefore, he suggested that Ying Lian can take advantage of the trend and propose to compile the history of the officials who died in the Ming Dynasty. Pleased by the emperor.

Sure enough, the emperor agreed without even thinking about it, which made Ying Lian pay more attention to his grandson-in-law.

It has always been the only trick for an official to be aware of his intentions.

He Shen also suggested that you should divide the Qing Dynasty into A and B according to the actual achievements of the ministers. The editor should give a certain degree of praise.

Because if you do this, the person who made this suggestion can get the gratitude of those second-class ministers.

You must know that there are not a few people who become officials after second ministers, and many of them are governors and important ministers.

Yinglian thinks so, and is even more impressed with his grandson-in-law.

Above the officialdom, the most important thing is connections, what is a connection?

In fact, it's just a love affair.

Today, Ying Lian won the first class for the ancestors of those second ministers, and half restored their reputation. To these first class descendants, it is a great favor.Even after the second-class ministers, Ying Lian can still ask for some favors for their children through the matter of the Queen Mother's longevity.

With Enze, the small matter of Jia's raising the flag was easily solved.

This kind of killing three birds with one stone can not only please the emperor, but also get the gratitude from the second minister, and help the grandson-in-law repay the favor by the way, why not do it.

Qianlong was also a show of kindness. To him, it was only a small reward to give the descendants of Erchen the future of worshiping Tang A, but this reward could offset the negative impact of Xiu Erchen passing on to the descendants of Erchen. A very proper way.

Suddenly thought of something, and asked Yinglian who could be in the first division and who could be in the second division.

Ying Lian hurriedly said: "The servant thinks that those who join the ranks of the armor should be treated differently."

Qianlong asked: "What are the two?"

Ying Lian replied that first, he was a low-level official in the Ming Dynasty, but he was the first to descend to the Qing Dynasty, and was promoted because of his loyalty and service.

"For example, Li Yongfang, who was a guerrilla in Fushun in the Ming Dynasty, was not only the first person to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but also loyal to the Qing Dynasty and made outstanding achievements. The slaves think that he should be included in the first rank."

Qianlong nodded slightly, as it should be.Li Yongfang's great-grandson, Li Shiyao, is currently the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. It would be inappropriate to rank Li Yongfang as the second class.

"The second type is someone who was a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty. After he descended to the Qing Dynasty, he won the credit of the court and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's pacification of China, such as Hong Chengchou."

The two standards given by Ying Lian are still very realistic. One is to be the first to surrender to the Qing Dynasty;

"Hong Chengchou has a great loss, and he can really be loyal to the dynasty."

Qianlong gave it a word, even though he hated Hong Chengchou the most in his heart, he couldn't really obliterate this person's achievements.If he has been designated as a second minister, he will be allowed to enter the first class, just to make up for it a little bit.

Continue to ask what standard should be used to enter the second edition.

"The slaves think that anyone who was a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty and this dynasty, but was a traitor in both dynasties, should be included in the second series. For example, Feng Quan was an eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, recruiting power and taking bribes everywhere, and his reputation was notorious. Such people must not Into the armor."

Qianlong took it for granted: "Feng Quan and others had to be hired to calm people's hearts at the time. After they became officials, they only served high-ranking officials and paid a lot of money.

"There are others who first surrendered to the bandits and then surrendered to the dynasty. They lost their integrity more than once, and they were despised by Qingliu. The slaves thought that such people should also be included in the second division."

Ying Lian then said that those Donglin party members who surrendered to the dynasty, such as Fang Kezhuang and Dang Chongya, should all be in the second series.Another example is Sun Kewang and Zuo Menggeng, who also entered the second series.Those who did not make any achievements in the Qing Dynasty, and those who actually brought troops to surrender and the officials were forced to give rewards due to the situation, should also be part of the second series.

Qianlong couldn't help nodding his head, obviously Yinglian's play was very to his liking, so he immediately agreed with what Yinglian said, and then actually granted Yinglian the minister of state affairs, and gave him the privilege of riding a horse in the Forbidden City.

"You are also the vice president of "Siku Quanshu", and you are very familiar with the affairs of the National History Museum. I will give you the Minister of State Affairs, and you will take care of this matter."

"Slave thank you Lord Ron!"

Ying Lian never imagined that the coveted title of Minister of State Affairs would fall on him so easily, he was really excited, and at the same time praised his grandson-in-law He Shen even more.

"You can just do things, I believe in you here,"

Just as he was talking, Qianlong suddenly thought of a person, and hurriedly told Yinglian: "That Qian Qianyi has talent but is invisible. If it is the death festival of the Ming Dynasty, it is understandable to ridicule our dynasty with pen and ink. However, as a Ming minister, he surrendered to me. Daqing, as a minister of the Qing Dynasty, published the barking language in the collection, just to cover up his shame of infidelity, which is especially contemptible and shameful.

What's even more detestable is that Qian Qianyi secretly colludes and wants to overthrow my Qing Dynasty, which is really disgusting. You throw him into the second series for me, and make the world laugh at everyone forever! "

Ying Lian hurriedly took orders: "Slave obeys the order!"

"However, the matter of the Empress Dowager's longevity is the top priority of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The biography of the second minister and the affairs of the ministers who died in the Ming Dynasty are not urgent."

Qianlong walked slowly to Yinglian with his hands behind his back, "The queen mother has been the mother of the world for more than forty years, and the country is in prosperity. Seeing Zeng Xuan in person is a blessing that has never been seen in ancient and modern times. Therefore, I intend to make the longevity of the queen mother unique in the world, and to make The ten miles long street from Xihuamen to Xizhimen has been redecorated, and it has become a holy place for sightseeing in Beijing, what do you think is good?"

"The master is sincere and filial, and the glory of the prosperous age will surely move the heavens and the earth. The slave Yinglian dares to make every effort to organize it!"

Having said that, Ying Lian's heart sank after walking out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, because it would cost a million taels of money to redecorate the ten-mile long street.

Therefore, even if he asked for a large donation, the income would be several million taels at most. The gap was too big, and it seemed that he had to beat the salt merchants all over the place.

"Li Yu, pass on my word, I'm going to visit the garden."

After Yinglian left, Qianlong did not continue to appreciate the birthday gifts from various places, but planned to go to Yuanmingyuan to see how the Changchun Immortal Pavilion built for the Empress Dowager was completed.He thought that after the Longevity Festival, the Empress Dowager would live in Yuanmingyuan, which was much more pleasant than the palace with high walls.

Li Yu hurriedly asked the little eunuch to deliver an order to prepare for the ride.

After a while, Qianlong came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Luan Yiwei and the sticky pole were already waiting.

"Long live, please slow down."

Li Yugang helped the master onto the sedan chair, but the master did not enter the sedan chair, but looked at the back of the sedan chair suspiciously, and asked the left and right: "Where is the umbrella cover?"

Li Yu looked up: Hey, Huang Luo's umbrella really doesn't exist.

"Talk back to the emperor, slave"

Haining, the minister in charge of the sticky pole, was already sweating anxiously, because he had already discovered that Huang Luo's canopy was missing, but he took people to look for it and couldn't find it.

The emperor came in a hurry again, so he had no choice but to put down the umbrella first, pointing out that the emperor didn't pay attention so as to fool the matter.Unexpectedly, the emperor still found out that the umbrella cover was missing.

"Your Majesty, the umbrella is lost, the servant is lost, the servant."

Qianlong couldn't help being furious at Haining's stammering appearance and the fact that the umbrella cover was lost, and he said angrily, "The tiger's son came out of the box, and the tortoise jade was destroyed in the box, what's the fault?"

Seeing the emperor's anger, the guards around the sedan chair were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to vent their breath.

These guards are all the disciples of Shangsanqi, at most they know a few big characters, some of them don't even know the characters, so they don't know what the emperor said.

Moreover, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, the emperor will be angry now, who dares to talk nonsense at this pass and cause a catastrophe.

However, a young man who was also kneeling not far away was shocked after hearing what the emperor said, and then raised his head bravely, and found that everyone around him was kneeling, and the emperor also looked angry As he watched, the young man felt as though heaven and man were at war in his heart, and he finally summoned up his courage and said loudly, trembling: "The keeper cannot shirk his responsibility!"

In the silence, He Shen's words were particularly eye-catching.

The gate of the official office.

Jia Liu looked around and found that the official vacancies listed on the list were all unsatisfactory to him, and the prices were really outrageously expensive as the second brother-in-law Gao Delu said.

I had no choice but to prepare to leave disconsolately. Just as I was feeling irritable, I saw someone rushing out of the yamen holding a piece of red paper in the form of a pen, and shouted at the "local tyrants" who were looking at the list and wanted to buy an official: "Your Majesty!" There is a decree, the longevity of the Empress Dowager, the whole world will celebrate together, make a big donation, make a big donation!"

　Thanks to Daling Diaosi, Silver Stream 2000, and Jing Shan for their active donations.
