Chapter 389
The scar-faced man gritted his teeth with a bit of misery on his face, "We have to make up for this mistake back then, or the Qing Dynasty will be completely over!"

Make up for mistakes?

This remark made everyone a little puzzled, Yongzheng has been emperor for more than two years, what else can he do?He couldn't really bring such a few people to the palace to kill him. Besides, even if he killed Yong Laosi, it would be his son-Hongli ascended the throne, and there was nothing wrong with his Lao Si.

There are some things that everyone can talk about for a while, and it’s okay to talk about it, but whoever really wants to do this is a complete fool.

The scar-faced man tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and glanced at the crowd, "To tell the truth, brothers, although the Fourteenth Master was still under house arrest in the tomb of the late emperor, he has already found the one who usurped power and plotted against him." Evidence! The Fourteenth Master has the last emperor's edict in his hand, he is the real prince who should be enthroned!"

"what"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, this is really unexpected. I didn't expect that the old fourteen would actually have such evidence, but isn't this thing too absurd?

Seeing that everyone looked puzzled, the scar-faced man quietly took out a thing from his arms, which exuded a strong smell of blood. He opened the thing, but it was a long belt with Many small characters were written in blood.

Seeing this thing, everyone here instantly understood what was going on—after all, everyone is an elite in the Eight Banners, and they have all read the Four Books and Five Classics. Even if they have never read it, they have always heard a lot of storytelling , and soon thought of something, that is the famous clothes belt edict!
The man with the scarred face raised his belt, with a very solemn expression, and said softly: "Brothers, this is a bloody edict from the Fourteenth Lord, calling on the righteous people in the world to be kings, brothers are not talented, and now they are willing to be the king of the general I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to ask you brothers to help me!"

When everyone present saw this scene, they were a little terrified. This is no joke. If the emperor finds out, the big guy and the whole clan will die!

The great crime of treason is an unforgivable crime of the nine clans.

"Humph!"

The scar-faced man saw the cowardice of the crowd, and immediately snorted coldly, "Since I can take out this terrible thing today, I have to go forward and retreat with you brothers - right now we are all grasshoppers on the same boat, unable to escape You can't run away from me, if you don't dare to come out and do something, are you going to watch the Great Qing die?"

There are blood and tears in the words, but it makes everyone very moved. In the current Qing Dynasty, such a righteous man is really rare
"Brother, you don't need to say too much. Since you and I are brothers, we should live and die together. Besides, it is my Eight Banners' responsibility to put an end to chaos and serve the country. How can you sit idly by?"

"Yes, brother, I am willing to join!"

"Brother, sacrifice your life to go to the national disaster, and see death as if you are home!"

Everyone was just frightened at first, but now they were so excited by the scar-faced man, they suddenly thought of their current situation, and immediately stood up one by one to conspire with each other.

Seeing that everyone was fooled into boarding the boat, the scar-faced man gathered everyone together and said quietly: "Brothers, I think they are such reckless people. If you help me today, there is just a chance to punish the country's traitors." , as long as we succeed, we can become Great Qing Batulu!"

Jingshan, Shouhuang Palace.

A solitary lamp is like a bean, but there is a little loneliness in this huge palace.

But in front of the solitary lamp, there was a middle-aged man who was reading a book with great interest. His hair was slightly gray and his appearance was haggard, but his eyes were piercing.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the sound stopped when it reached the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a stout-looking man stepped into the hall.

"Reporting to the lord, the servants Malanyu Commander-in-Chief and Tai have come to visit the lord according to His Majesty's orders."

The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at He Tai, the general soldier of Malanyu, with a smile on his face, then put down the book in his hand, walked quickly to He Tai, and knelt down.

"The slave is allowed to listen to the Word of God."

It turned out that this person was the old fourteenth Yunzhen who had been imprisoned for a long time, but the current appearance had no connection with the former general king, and was more like an old man who was dying.

"Yunti, have you ever had a hard time pondering the divine will of the late emperor?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the slaves are studying the last emperor's last words carefully every day, trying to figure out the holy will, and dare not forget one day, let alone slacking off or being disrespectful."

The expression on Hetai's face did not change at all, but he continued: "Then have you ever blamed me for not using you again?"

"I don't dare. Only by trying to figure out the holy will can I be qualified to share the emperor's worries!"

After asking the two questions, the two of them naturally changed their postures again. This will be Yunti sitting on top, while Hetai is kneeling obediently below.

As far as Hetai is concerned, he naturally knows what the position of the Malanyu commander-in-chief means. He is actually a dog specially used to watch over the old fourteenth. .

"Hetai, this king has been here for almost three years, and you have been here for two years. It seems that this king has never asked you for anything, but today there is something that needs your help. "

Yunyu doesn't seem to reject Hetai, on the contrary, he needs to ask for help when he has something to do.

He Tai didn't dare to refuse directly at the moment, but lowered his head a little deeper, "If the prince has anything to do, please just order it. Only slaves can do it. Naturally, he will obey the prince's order."

The so-called can do, the meaning of this sentence is simpler, don't mention those excessive demands, it's useless to mention them.

Yunyu smiled softly, "Of course I won't make things difficult for you. This matter is actually very simple. I think of Er Niang when I study these days, so I want to copy Buddhist scriptures for her. Can you please?" Go and ask the emperor for mercy, let the emperor send some Buddhist scriptures in, and this king has nothing else to ask for."

"If you go back to the prince, I don't dare to be the master of this matter, so I have to report to the emperor and ask the prince to understand." He Tai lay on the ground, his voice was very calm, and he seemed to be thinking quickly.

Yunyu didn't feel strange, but waved his hand, and said softly: "Of course it should be, the king is here waiting for your news." While speaking, he took the book again , the meaning is very clear, to see off guests.

He Tai didn't dare to delay, kowtowed again, then turned and left.

With the sound of 'squeak', the hall door was closed again, and the whole hall returned to its former calm, as if nothing had happened just now, and no one had been there.

But at this time, after all, something is different. I saw Yunti who was immersed in the book, but his fingers holding the book were a little pale, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Naturally, Hetai did not dare to hide anything about Yunyu's request, and the relevant information arrived at Yongzheng's desk immediately, waiting for the emperor to deal with it.

After reading all the materials recorded by Hetai and Yunti's related requests, Yongzheng's eyes flashed a stern look. Although he still didn't know what Yunti's purpose was, the other party said that it was a matter of praying for Er Niang. No matter from what point of view, he couldn't refuse.

Because Yunti's mother-in-law was also Yongzheng's biological mother-in-law, Empress Xiao Gongren, they were originally brothers of the same father and mother.

Just last May, Empress Xiao Gongren collapsed and died in Yonghe Palace, and was buried with Jingling in September.Before Empress Xiao Gongren passed away, she pleaded with Yongzheng for the old fourteenth. At that time, Yongzheng had just imprisoned his good brother in Jingling, and arranged for Malanyu General Soldier and Tai to monitor his actions, so no matter how old he was, In any respect, Yongzheng at the time did not relax his vigilance against his younger brother.

After the death of Empress Xiao Gongren, Yongzheng had no choice but to make a gesture, and under the guise of comforting the heart of "the empress dowager's heart", Jin granted Yunyu the title of county king.

However, this so-called kingship is a political show in itself. Yongzheng did not confer a title or salary on Yunti, and even his registration in the yellow book is still the son of Gushan, and the confinement will continue. In confinement, it can be said that except for gaining the title of a so-called county king, Yunyu's situation has not changed a little.

It can also be seen from this that Yongzheng is so afraid of this great general.

"Pass it to Zhang Tingyu."

"Whoo."

After a while, Zhang Tingyu stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but he looked exhausted. Recently, due to the implementation of the New Deal, many princes and ministers of the Eight Banners accused Zhang Tingyu of being a traitor, and even criticized him. Under the situation of being stretched left and right, it is natural that there will inevitably be some loopholes.

"Slave Zhang Tingyu met the emperor"

Seeing the white hair on Zhang Tingyu's head, Yongzheng finally sighed. Before he ascended the throne, Zhang Tingyu looked quite handsome, but now he has changed into this appearance in less than three years.

In fact, it is not only Zhang Tingyu, but even Yongzheng himself looks almost ten years older now, which can also show how hard he, Yongzheng, worked hard to maintain
"Hengchen, what's going on with all these things now?" Yongzheng said slowly.

"Returning to the emperor, Zhili, Shandong, and Shanxi are now fully developed. As for Yun, Gui, Sichuan, Gansu and other places, the imperial court is beyond its power."

The Zhili, Shandong, and Shanxi mentioned by Zhang Tingyu are actually the chassis that the imperial court can really dominate in the pass, such as Yun, Gui, Sichuan, Gansu and other places. Under the current situation, there is no way to effectively command. Gengyao, as well as Yue Zhongqi from Sichuan, were still Yongzheng's confidantes, like Yang Mingshi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou who had just been promoted, and it was difficult to control the overall situation at all.

Yongzheng also thought about this problem, and then kept silent. Ningchu's progress in the south was too fast, and he almost unified the south with the wind and clouds, but the rule of the Qing court was like a dam built with sand, and the slightest crack would be enough falling apart
Zhang Tingyu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the southwest land must not repeat the mistakes of Guangdong and Guangxi. Even if it is lost, it cannot be lost so easily. We should send a senior official to go there before Chu Ni enters Yunnan and Guizhou on a large scale." Command the overall situation, form a constraint on Ning Chu, and buy time for me to clear."

"You mean, Yang Mingshi can't do it?" Yongzheng's face was indifferent, but it was impossible to see what he was thinking.

Zhang Tingyu knelt on the ground and said softly: "Your Majesty, Yang Mingshi is an old minister, and he is naturally a capable minister to rule the world, but now it is a troubled time, and a strong minister is needed."

What is a strong minister?This is a big topic, but Yongzheng knew in his heart that the strong officials Zhang Tingyu was referring to were people like Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi who could fight wars when they were on horseback, and rule the people when they were off their horses.

If the world is peaceful, such a strong minister can easily arouse the emperor's vigilance, but in troubled times, it is an invincible magic weapon. Only by controlling such a strong minister can we clean up the rivers and mountains and calm the world.

"Then who do you recommend to be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou?"

"Ertai."

Zhang Tingyu felt his heart was pounding. He had a good relationship with Ertai. This recommendation was risky. If the emperor thought that the two of them had a behind-the-scenes transaction, it would be troublesome.

Before Zhang Tingyu could add a few sentences to explain, Yongzheng said, "Humph, I knew that your candidate is nothing more than Tian Wenjing, the governor of Henan, and Ertai, the governor of Shandong, but why did you recommend Ertai instead of Tian Wenjing?" I want to hear your opinion."

Speaking of which, since Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, all the courtiers in his hidden mansion have been promoted one by one, not to mention Zhang Tingyu and Longkodo who were reused as soon as he succeeded to the throne. A gangster like Wei, who was born as a helper, was promoted to governor of Zhili not long ago after Li Weijun, governor of Zhili, was promoted to governor of Zhili because of his ability to handle affairs, and took over Li Weijun's class.

This fully illustrates one thing, that is, Yongzheng didn't look at his background, but only his ability to handle affairs. Those who are capable will be promoted by rocket, and those who are not capable should go home and farm as soon as possible.

Therefore, Zhang Tingyu also guessed what Yongzheng was thinking, that is, in the current imperial court, only one of Tian Wenjing and Ertai could really be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

For some reasons, Zhang Tingyu didn't want to be too smart in this matter, otherwise he would be easily jealous by Yongzheng, but the reasons given should not be too casual, otherwise Yongzheng would see through, and it would be a disaster.

"The reason why the emperor uses Ertai is because he has experience in leading troops before?" Zhang Tingyu racked his brains and finally thought of a reasonable reason.

"Hmph, Tian Wenjing also led soldiers in Henan."

Yongzheng snorted noncommittally, but after hearing what Zhang Tingyu said, he felt more at ease, and then gave the real reason.

"I don't use Tian Wenjing purely because his character is too arrogant, he is strict in politics, and has a serious heart. Although he can inspect officials and calm the people, punish corruption and eliminate evil, it is not suitable for the situation in Yunnan and Guizhou."
