Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 871 What's the situation in Zhejiang?
For a long time, the relevant reports about Qianlong being the son of the Han people were unilateral propaganda by Jia Liu.

Although the proof of the saw chain is solid, it has also received positive responses from most of the governors, generals, commanders, team leaders, counselors and relevant military and political units across the country;
It also triggered a huge wave among the army, civilians and clan of the Banner Han Dynasty, and set off rounds of public calls to crusade against Qianlong, which can be said to have laid a favorable foundation for the legitimacy of subverting Qianlong's regime.

However, the "Daqing Daily" that first reported this matter was the official newspaper run by the Zhili governor's yamen. As we all know, Jia Liu was the governor of Zhili before he became the general king. issued later.

"Frontline News" was founded and published directly by Jia Liu in Xingyuan, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a private newspaper.

Therefore, in the eyes of many officials, the relevant reports on Qianlong's life experience in "Daqing Daily" and "Frontline News" still lack credibility.

They believed that these two newspapers were just Jia Liu's mouthpieces, and they were the tools he intended to commit crimes.

At present, there are still many provinces that have not sent a delegation to Xiangyang, especially the four provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan and Guizhou. It is not difficult to see that these four provinces are obviously skeptical or even negative about Jia Liu’s claim that the emperor is Han. .

Then, the Qianlong paternity test report brought by the Zhejiang delegation, which had nothing to do with Jia Liu, is of great significance.

In the words of President Li, who was the first to receive the news, this report is the last link of the infinite matryoshka. Once it is made public, it will completely kill Qianlong, the fourth devil.

It can make the skeptical and wait-and-see attitudes of the provinces finally abandon the old fourth devil and return to the embrace of the reforming emperor who represents the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty.

Jia Liu took it for granted, thinking that this report could support two armies.

Therefore, even if I sleep less than six hours a day, even if I have eye bags similar to those of Dalin, I still have to meet the Zhejiang delegation as soon as possible.

Outside the office, Prime Minister Bo Qing'e, Deputy Prime Minister Li Shijie and related staff were waiting.

The two presidents obviously knew the importance of the parent-child report.

Previously, Chairman Li had asked for this report from the Zhejiang delegation, but the other party said that this report must be handed over to Prince Rui himself.

That's right, can such important archives be handed over casually, President Li said so.

"Are they all here?"

After Jia Liu came out, he greeted the two presidents. His expression was as usual, that is, there was respect in kindness, and affection in respect. He seemed to forget that he secretly asked the internal affairs committee to investigate the matter of the two old guys.

"Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"it is good,"

Jia Liu signaled the two presidents to go with him, and quickly ordered after thinking of something: "By the way, after I ascend the throne, no matter whether it is the court or the people, there is no need to hide from the public in the future."

"Don't shy away from publicity?"

The two princes and the staff behind them were all stunned when they heard His Majesty's oral order.

The so-called public taboo means that the state forces its subjects to avoid the names of the emperor and Confucius.

For example, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he asked his brothers to change Yin to Yun to avoid the emperor's taboo.

After thousands of years of development, various means of avoiding taboos emerge in endlessly.

There are certain restrictions on imperial official documents and imperial examinations, which invisibly hampers cultural development and shackles thinking.

It also added some troubles to the military and civilians out of thin air.

Since the title of the reign is Restoration, of course Jia Liu must focus on innovation. If he continues to avoid public taboos, what will the people use instead of the word Shikai?

To be a Mingjun, you can do a lot of things, but as long as you don't cause trouble for the people, you can be called a Mingjun.

Private taboos are unavoidable, because private taboos are mainly taboos on the masterpieces of elders, and they are used in correspondence between civil literati, bureaucrats, officials and gentry, and there is no need for the imperial court to order a special order to rectify them.

If you really do this, it's just that the dog is meddling with the mouse.

"His Majesty,"

Although Lao Li's ideological consciousness has improved rapidly recently, he is a traditional scholar-bureaucrat after all, and for a while he couldn't accept the sudden reform of Emperor Weixin. Just about to persuade him, the prime minister moved his beard and expressed his welcome to the reform.

When he was an interpreter in his early years, he was fed up with the inexplicable taboo system, and was almost dismissed because of it once, so he really hated this bad government in his heart.

It's rare for the emperor's son-in-law to be so open-minded, as an old father-in-law, he would feel sorry for his daughter if he didn't support him.

Although Lao Bo is the vice president of the Gongjin Association, but he is the prime minister of the cabinet and the actual top leader of the court. He supports it, but Lao Li can still oppose it, so he has no choice but to praise it against his will.

Then I thought that not avoiding public taboos is also a good thing, at least it is good governance for scholars, which can effectively reduce their burden, save them from having to study taboo-related courses in addition to their studies, and memorize a lot of useless things.

The Zhejiang delegation consisted of eight members. After starting from Hangzhou, because Jiangxi was occupied by the Xinghan army, they had to detour to Jiangsu, and then went from Anhui to Hubei via Henan. The distance was doubled and it took more than a month.

As soon as he arrived in Xiangyang to show his identity, he was brought here, and then he has been waiting for Prince Hou Rui to receive him.

Meals are served during the period, four dishes and one soup.

It's not very rich, but fortunately, they are all meat dishes, and they are delicious.

After the staple food, there are also fruits, tobacco leaves, and tea for hospitality, and the service staff are also very enthusiastic, which relieved their hard work along the way.

When Jia Liu came over, the members of the mission were soaking their feet.

Each has a professional technician in service.

The technician was brought over by Chairman Li from Sichuan. It was not because of his own pleasure, but because of Jia Liu's special request.

While enjoying it, there were footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and the eight members of the mission looked at the door at the same time, and saw a young man in casual clothes looking at them with a smile on his face.

They didn't know the few people behind them, but one of them seemed to be Mr. Li who had come to ask them for a parent-child report.

Almost instantly, the eight members of the mission instinctively stood up from their chairs, each with their feet soaked in the barrel, ready to salute the young man.

Needless to say, this person must be Prince He Shuorui and General Fuyuan!

Due to the inconsistencies in the movements and the different strengths, a lot of footwashing water was splashed on the ground.

"Sit, sit,"

Jia Liu's voice and smile swept across the room like a spring breeze, and he stepped forward to signal the representatives to sit down and talk, while smiling and said: "Your Wang Futai used to have a good relationship with me, this time I will call the whole country to hold a meeting of hundreds of officials and clans , you Wang Futai can respond positively and send you to attend the meeting as soon as possible, I am very relieved and very happy!"

After finishing speaking, I wanted to ask who the head and deputy head were.

It seemed a bit surprised to see the strange expressions on the faces of the eight people.

Some doubts, but then I thought that he claimed to be the emperor, and the Zhejiang side didn't know that he had become the emperor, let alone these people, and my heart was relieved.

Chairman Li also thought so, so he stepped forward to tell the Zhejiang delegation that Prince Rui had proclaimed himself emperor. At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties at the far east suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the last general is waiting for you." I was ordered by General Hangzhou to attend the meeting of hundreds of officials and clans, not by Futai."

What's the situation?
Jia Liuming was stunned when he heard this statement, and looked sideways at Lao Li: How many delegations are there from Zhejiang?
