Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 101: God’s power unexpectedly turns against him
Eleven mule carts rolled on the Loess Plateau in western Shaanxi.The violent northwest wind whipped up a whirlwind, carrying sand and soil, chasing and playing with each other recklessly in the vast wilderness, sometimes converging on the loess road, wrapping the carts and cavalry sergeants guarding the guard of honor in the whirling yellow mist, blowing them to death. People can't open their eyes, can't open their mouths, can't breathe, dozens of embroidered dragon flags with "Year of the Great General Conquering the West" written on them are swaying wildly, sometimes tilting southward and eastward, in the howling wind like a tearing silk Hunting sound.The monotonous and dull sound of horseshoes making the same sound on the hard frozen soil makes people drowsy. Only occasionally when they step on the broken ice, or the wheels run over the small glacier, the small chirp can be heard. Entering the carriage, only a little bit of life was brought in, and then everything returned to the original.

It was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Yongzheng, and it had been eleven days since Nian Gengyao left Beijing to return to Daying in Qinghai, but he seemed to have aged [-] years.I don't know whether it's because of the insomnia all night or the lack of water along the way and the inconvenience of bathing. Nian Gengyao's gray hair is a little disheveled, his wrinkled eye circles are also dark, and his deep eyes are melancholy and dazed, as if he doesn't think about anything. Through the gap of the canopy, I stared blankly at the pale yellow sky outside and the white thatch and weeds that stretched directly to the horizon.Sang Cheng Ding was sitting opposite to the same car. Seeing Nian Gengyao licking his lips, he expected to be thirsty. He leaned over from under the table and took out a water hyacinth wrapped in a sheepskin bag, poured a bowl, and said softly: "Junmen, just use it." A little bit. It’s like this all the way from Baoji to Tianshui. Since you left Beijing, you’ve been like this all day long, so it’s better if you have something on your mind.”

"I don't want to drink it, brother Sang, you can drink it." Nian Gengyao shook his head, let out a long sigh of relief as if he was going to be full of depression, leaned back halfway on the tiger skin cushion in the back, and laughed at himself He smiled and said: "I have something on my mind, and I won't hide it from you. I'm afraid the emperor has changed his mind about me. I don't know what I did wrong, and what should I do next." Sang Chengding held the bowl The water splashed a little, and he was stunned and said: "Isn't it? This time I saw you off very politely. You are reporting work this time, so you can't compare with the last time-leaving Beijing in eight sedan chairs, Ma Zhongtang and Zhang Zhongtang personally Send it to Luhe Station, even the governor and general don't have such a good reputation..." Nian Gengyao sighed: "You comfort me, how could I not know? I will talk about the situation inside slowly after I get back. Ten guards insist on taking the same car as me, is it like this in the past? The warmth and warmth of the officials along the way are also very different from before, you should experience it!"

Sang Chengding stopped talking, holding the bowl in a daze, and sighed after a long while: "Don't talk about leaving Beijing, I felt it when I entered Beijing. General, what are you going to do?" Nian Gengyao waved his hand slightly, closed his eyes Eyes closed: "Yeah, the future is inauspicious, so you have to think about it..."

Yongzheng summoned him three times in Beijing, and they were all very polite and accommodating.For the first time, I mainly heard Nian Gengyao's report about the military fortification on the western front and the wintering of the camp. Nian Gengyao talked for two full hours. Don't interrupt, Nian Gengyao emphasized the reasons why the army could not withdraw. Yongzheng also nodded frequently, and said with a smile: "The first emperor was the emperor on horseback, and I am the emperor on the desk. Zhang Tingyu doesn't understand military affairs. This is all with you." Let's discuss! If that's the case, then there will be no transfer of soldiers, and there will always be a solution for the food and grass issue."

"Young worker, you are not smart enough." The second interview was in the Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace. Yongzheng smiled and talked as soon as they met, and ordered Gao Wuyong to bring ginseng soup to Nian Gengyao. Then he said to the dazed Nian Gengyao : "The last time we met, when we broke up, I asked you repeatedly to manage the army well and ignore him in the government affairs of various places. Why do you still want to interfere?" How did I reply at that time?It seems to say that "the minister does not dare to be indecent."Yongzheng also smiled, but his words were astonishing: "Your brother Nian Xiyao took your letter in Guangdong and told Kong Yuli about the unjust case of Ling Mou's nine murders. Don't you know Kong Yuli? Three points for him! Fortunately, what he handed over was a secret document, so if I approve it, I don’t want to hurt you, and he wants to make it clear that the whole world will know about it, how can I protect you?”… That’s it. It was dinner again, chatting and laughing for a while, Yongzheng personally sent it to the entrance of Qianqing Palace, and when he stood on the altar to bid farewell, he said: "Don't worry about Xiyao's matter. The same sentence, General, is to manage In the army, the civil affairs are a mess of personnel affairs, and if you can't beat the weasels, you will be in a commotion, why bother?"

... The car was bumped by the ridge on the loess road, Nian Gengyao was startled for a moment, and recalled the third time he had seen Yongzheng. "I have to send you back to suffer again, and I can't bear it." Yongzheng's eyes were full of melancholy, "But it won't be long. If there is no war next year, I will transfer you back. If you like to manage the army, you can manage the army. If you want to change You are a Confucian general, the reincarnated Marquis of Wu!" Nian Gengyao thanked him without hesitation, and said, "Why do you dare to be a minister? The only thing I have to do is to die. The remnants of Luo Bu must be wiped out. , subdue Cering Allah Butan, and repay the master's kindness!"... At that time, in the imperial garden, the red and green withered trees, Yongzheng strolled and looked around, and said with a calm smile: "This is still Kong Ming's words. But , the credit cannot be earned by one person, and others will have no chance, so you will make more enemies. This is also what I mean by fulfilling your name. Why don't you ask Yue Zhongqi to try it, and he will know how you got a duke like you It's over." When parting, Yong was patting Nian Gengyao's shoulder at the gate of the imperial garden and said, "Don't think wildly, I trust you. However, I hope you will be a pure minister. A pure minister is like Zhuge Wuhou through the ages, How many people in Yue Fei's generation can you have? Take care of yourself, don't listen to gossip, and don't be afraid when you hear gossip, who in this world doesn't listen to gossip? If you hear gossip, you will get angry, become suspicious and fearful, so it's okay?" Man: "Bring up the palanquin and take my Marquis Wu out!"

"Marquis Wu——Adou!" Nian Gengyao opened his eyes, sat up straight, and took a sip of water as if he had realized something. His messy thoughts finally came to one place: only by grasping the hundred thousand elites in his hands In the army, "A Dou" did not dare to kill "Wuhou"!The reason why Yongzheng promised "not to transfer a single soldier" is not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare-this is the soldier that my Nian Gengyao used to annoy these brothers who rolled out of the yellow sand and green bloody battlefield. Anything can be done, and no one has the ability to suppress them and appease them.Nian Gengyao even thought that during his stay in Beijing for nearly forty days, Zhang Tingyu had secretly consulted how many governors and generals for advice, and had no choice but to let the tiger go back to the mountain as a trick to catch him.Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help lifting slightly, revealing a bleak smile: With a soldier in his hand, the reason is unclear, it's Master Jiu, so why isn't he the one who can be protected?Nian Gengyao took a heavy breath.

But Nian Gengyao soon realized that he was completely wrong.After driving through Lanzhou and entering Yanguo Gorge, you will see a large area of ​​military camps next to the post road sheltered from the wind, all kinds of new Mongolian felt bags, and a large number of grain, dried vegetables, and charcoal vehicles are transported westward along the post road.He is the supreme commander who controls the troops from all walks of life, but he doesn't know that there is such a huge army stationed here!That day, Nian Gengyao was supposed to rush to the Heqiao post to rest. In order to find out what was going on, Nian Gengyao specially ordered the car and sedan to unload the mules at the Honggu Temple in advance.He didn't expect these ten guards to do anything for him anymore, so he ordered Sang Chengding to go to the town to inquire.As soon as he entered the room at the post station, he saw Mu Xiang'a rushing in with a wine gourd in one hand and a horse whip in the other. He laughed and said, "I'm so numb from sitting in a car, but it's better to ride a horse! The wine brought by the general?" Give us a gourd!" With a bow, he sat down on the edge of the kang and asked, "Why are you resting here tonight? It would be nice to go to the Heqiao station! I told the people at the front station to burn more. Water, I want to take a quick bath!"

"I'm the coach, and I have my reasons for saying where to station the horse." Nian Gengyao said coldly, "I don't know who taught you to be so presumptuous, but you must know that there are rules in my three-foot forbidden area—— Throw away the horse whip, wine gourd, and fasten your buttons! Otherwise, I will ask my soldiers to slap you in the face!" Mu Xiangah quickly threw away the things in her hands, looked carefully at Nian Gengyao, and said with a smile: "The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. After living in Beijing for a few months, I forgot the rules of the general. Can't I change it? No one taught me-who taught this? But just ask for a drink, how can I commit a crime?" What about your military discipline?" The wine cat probably drank a lot of wine on the way, he was already drunk, he wandered carelessly in Nian Gengyao's room for a few steps, and slapped himself for no reason. Stumbled away.Nian Gengyao was in a state of uncertainty at first, but when he disturbed him, he was even more disturbed. Seeing the soldiers escorting the car come in, he asked angrily, "Has the Sang Zhongjun returned yet?"

Seeing that Nian Gengyao's complexion was not good, Nageshha slapped Qian'er cautiously and said, "I didn't see Sang Junmen under the bid. The yellow box was transferred from Lanzhou General's Yamen, and it was originally going to be sent to Heqiao Station to meet the General." I'm here to rest my horse, so I'll just hand it over." While talking, he brought up a box with a yellow silk cover.Nian Gengyao took it over, took out a key from his waist and put it in the lock spring, and it opened with a soft click.There are two booklets inside, the first one is opened, and there are impressive comments on it:

Go to Tian Wenjing's memorial and take a look. If you really treat me like this, it will be really chilling.I see that what you do in Beijing is still honest, but what is the result when you are outside?When you come to see me now, I feel very perverse. There are many things I don’t like. I don’t know if it’s because of your mental decline, or if it’s because of your high achievements and ambitions?Nian Gengyao was taken aback. Before he could read Tian Wenjing's original booklet, he opened it to read the second booklet, but it was:
I see Hu Qiheng now!You are so stupid!Such a thing as Hu Qiheng, is it that you, Nian Gengyao, recommended the governor?How unreasonable!

"Let's do it so soon!" Nian Gengyao muttered with trembling lips, it seemed to be remorse, it seemed to be a curse, he waved his hand and ordered the sergeant to step back, his legs softened and he sat on the edge of the kang, and then picked up Tian Wenjing's See the original discount.The book has been transcribed, and the handwriting is in regular script.The inscription is startling:

In order to play the big general Nian Gengyao's elder brother who was attached to the party, he took power and messed up the political affairs. When Nian Gengyao entered the pilgrimage, he had a close relationship with Prince Lian and the 48th elder brother Yun, who had seized the throne at that time. Is this what a pure minister should do?" Then he said that the prince was abolished for the second time. , do other secret things, watch the wind and look at the color and choose the way, what do you want to do?" The third article is even more powerful, saying that Nian Gengyao took over the post of General after the Holy Patriarch Yanjia, "I had a secret relationship with the former General Wang After discussing for several days, I spoke to my confidant, "My lord refused to listen to my advice, and insisted on returning to Beijing. Beijing is now a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, and my lord goes back unarmed, what will happen?" Nian Gengyao felt dizzy and lost his mind Then look at the "crime" of meddling in the government affairs of various provinces by doing Weifu without authorization. The paper is full of words like ants crawling faintly and faintly, sitting on the edge of the kang without any pain.Just at this time Sang Chengding came in, seeing Nian Gengyao's appearance, he hurriedly said: "General, what's wrong with you? Are you out of fashion?"

After yelling twice, Nian Gengyao came back to his senses, as if wanting to quench his anger, he drank up the water in the cup in one breath, and said with a sneer, "Look at this book, and then look at the emperor's Zhu Zhu, and said This is 'gossip'! Since it's 'don't listen', why did you pass it on to me so quickly?" Sang Chengding quickly took it, and was startled when he saw the title, and glanced at Nian Gengyao, who was already flushed with anger, Read the booklet without saying a word.Nian Gengyao became very emotional for a while, walking back and forth under the lamp, muttering: "I finally understand and see through! His purpose is to cross rivers, demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys!... Don't think I don't know, He used the third master to punish the elder brother, and when the elder brother was defeated, he punished the third master...Gao Fuer saved his life, and even filled it in a snowdrift to suffocate to death, let alone me?...It's my turn, Give me the words 'unnecessary'! This book—" He stopped suddenly, pointed to the book and said, "I dare say it was written by that cripple. Tian Wenjing doesn't know about those things at all! Only those who don't want to be an official He is the only one who can believe it! This bastard is crippled, mechanically overwhelms the villain, one day I must kill him!" He looked at the dancing candle with his eyes like a hungry wolf caught in a trap, like a ghostly phosphorescent fire. It took half a day to calm down and grind the ink by himself.Sang Chengding knew that he was going to play again, so while spreading the paper, he said in a low voice: "General, take a breather, calm down and finish writing, and then read the transcript." "I know." Nian Gengyao sat cross-legged, moved Shi Cai let out a long sigh and wrote in support of pen and ink:
More than [-] days before running to the throne, he did not benefit Gao Shen, but only increased his mistakes. He immediately received Zhu's criticism, and the words of heaven were harsh.After reading Tian Yiguang's memorial, he was inexplicably panicked, but he could only sue himself or be trusted by his colleagues?The meritorious service is the highest, and the crime is the heaviest.Recalling the day when the former emperor was promoted, the head of the minister was specially promoted by the emperor. Compared with that time, the palace was not peaceful, and Xi Chou jumped the beam. There were many threats of domineering inside, and fear of disobedience outside. Don't, the emperor Lai is like the sky, Hong Fu, and the evening, and the day and night, he planned a strategy and the war was over.Tian must use this delusion to think that the birds are exhausted, the bows, the rabbits, the rabbits, and the dogs are killed. If it is a clear decree, even if he wants to die, he has to die, but he will die with a bad name and die with the nine clans.After finishing writing in one breath, he handed it to Sang Chengding and said, "Look."

"I think the first half of the chapter is good." Sang Chengding looked melancholy, and said slowly: "The emperor is the one who cares about people the most. The second half of the chapter has some harsh words that ordinary people don't use after listening to them, let alone the emperor?"

Nian Gengyao wanted to look back again, and only used a brush to erase the characters "The bird is dead, the bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is dead", and said: "It is because he cares about people so much that he has to write what is in his heart. You are a softie, he I look down on you even more. Be tougher, he thinks you are not fooling him." Sang Chengding thought about Shi Yizhi's example, and thought about Sun Jiagan, and felt that Nian Gengyao made sense, nodded and sighed: "Master is too difficult to serve, my heart It’s also tricky. Just now I went to the camp to have a look, but the officers didn’t recognize it. I asked, and they said that they were Ru Fu’s soldiers, and they spent the winter here, and they couldn’t talk about anything else.”

Ru Fu is Prince Lian Yun's disciple and Yun's confidant, and under such a situation, he will definitely not make things difficult for him, Nian Gengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

After another three days of walking from the Honggu Temple, Nian Gengyao finally returned to Xining, where the general was traveling.To his surprise, the surname of Xingyuan here is no longer "Nian".Yue Zhongqi led more than 100 officers, big and small, out of the east gate of the city to meet the official hall. He thought that Yue Zhongqi had come all the way to meet the wind.But none of the officers who brought him recognized him, even the familiar faces like Ru Fu, Ma Xun, Wei Zhiyue, Wang Yunji and Song Kejin were gone.Looking at those junior officers, only half of them are familiar, and many new faces have been added inexplicably.Nian Gengyao looked unhappy, and was accompanied by Yue Zhongqi as he took his seat, and said with a sneer, "Forgive me, I have seen the emperor's will when I come to Dongmei. It's really a wall that everyone pushes, Nianyi is unlucky, and he will hit his heels if he farts!" Nine Don't tell me, with his status and situation, where have all these bastards under my hands gone?"

"Sit down and talk slowly." Yue Zhongqi was a head shorter than Nian Gengyao, but he was full of vigor, he poured wine for Nian Gengyao with a smile, and said, "Brother Liang had a decree shortly after he left, calling Zhong Qi came to act on behalf of the office. My brother came here as Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and everything was done according to the general system, and he didn’t dare to change anything. If they didn’t come, they were transferred away. Brother Nian, don’t blame them—come, have a drink Gossip slowly." Nian Gengyao trembled all over, stared at Yue Zhongqi with a knife-like gaze, and said in a hoarse voice: "Drink this glass of wine slowly. The thing I don't like to hear now is 'gossip'. But I still want to Let me ask, Brother Dongmei, how can you transfer the handsome generals casually? And all the generals have been transferred cleanly? Where did you transfer them?" Yue Zhongqi's dark red face shone brightly, and he said with a smile: "You Fu was transferred to Cai Na. Wei Zhiyue went to Altai, Wang Yunji was transferred to Ikezhao League, and they were all promoted to generals. This was recommended by the general who won the victory on the western front. You are such a noble person who forgets things! Besides, think about it, I, Yue Zhongqi How can I have this right? Only Rufu’s first division was transferred to the junction of Qinghai and Ganxi. I am the master, old man, that side is next to the post road, leeward and facing the sun, so you can spend the winter! You are still your general. When I come back, I will be relieved of my responsibility. If you want to transfer back, you should say a word."

Nian Gengyao felt cold in his heart as he listened. Only now did he really feel fearful and helpless. He "didn't mobilize a single soldier" but managed to mobilize his trusted generals, and he was still kept in the dark!He looked at Yue Zhongqi with absent-minded eyes, suddenly let out a burst of laughter like a bird chirping at night, took the wine and drank it in one gulp, and said: "Let me guess: these three new capitals are probably all Were they replaced by people from Brother Dongmei's camp? Or has Brother Dongmei's camp moved to Xining? Perhaps Master Jiu has been invited by you to spend the winter in northern Sichuan?" "Liang Gong, you didn't even guess a thing. Yes." Yue Zhongqi looked at Nian Gengyao with a smile, pressed his hand on the wine glass, like an old cat holding down a mouse with its paws, and said slowly: "The person who succeeded Rufu is Jihaluo, the deputy general of the Huguang Navy; Wang Yunji is the chief envoy of Gansu Province. Shou; Wei Zhiyue's subordinate is Cao Sen, the chief envoy of Yunnan - I have not placed anyone in your camp. Master Jiu is still here, and I am not supervising him. He is not feeling well today and may not come - as for me, I only brought 700 of my Chinese troops to station in Xining, and my camp is still at the same place - come! Jiharuo, Cao Sen, Deshou, come out and give the commander a toast!"

As soon as Yue Zhongqi finished speaking, all three newcomers came out, one was as thin as a hemp stalk, with an olive head on a slender body, wearing a flowering coral crown, without even peacock feathers, it must be auspicious Hello; the two chief envoys are both short and thick, and they are still the top three.Such a person can be caught in Nian Gengyao's army with his eyes closed, and he can pack the whole bag.Nian Gengyao didn't recognize any of them, seeing the three of them saluting, he just nodded with a straight face.The three Xindutongs looked calm, they came up to toast one by one, and stepped aside in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.Jihalo had a drake voice, but he spoke loudly and emphatically: "Biaoxia is ordered by the Holy General to obey the command of the general. If the general has any orders, he will never frown in water or fire! Biaoxia himself knows that he looks ugly. Amazing, but the bid is not useless. In the 60th year of Kangxi’s suppression of the Miao village chieftain’s rebellion, he led 30 people to go deep into the Miao village, and the one who captured and beheaded more than [-] bandits was the bidder!” It is not the first time that I have been bullied by others, so I will report my resume at the beginning.Only then did Nian Gengyao know that the person in front of him was "General Ji" whom Kangxi called "a lonely hero". Looking closely at the two political envoys who looked like buckets, they also ate calmly without looking at each other. Wu Han is stingy and flattering, and it seems that he is not a kind person.Only then did Nian Gengyao restrain his contempt, and said: "Brother, how dare you judge someone by their appearance! If you are not easy to lead as a soldier, just report to me, and you have to love yourself. If you violate my military order, I will be very ruthless. Please, Borrowing flowers to present Buddha here, and have a drink with the three military sects!" Yue Zhongqi laughed beside him and said, "I will confess to you face to face. Since General Nian has returned, my camp is extremely busy, so I still have to go back to my camp. Today's wine is not only a welcome for the general, but also a farewell for me. Come, come, I offer a toast to the general, and I advise you brothers to drink!" Then he got up and toasted one by one starting from Nian Gengyao.

The atmosphere in the Jieguan hall suddenly became active, and Nian Gengyao's mood gradually improved. Since Yue Zhongqi was willing to withdraw from the west hall and the military power was in his hands, everything else could be done slowly.Nian Gengyao also got up and took turns around the table to persuade them to drink, and exchanged warm greetings with these new subordinates, until he ate the Shenweishi card, he felt drunk, said "it's convenient", and left the table. When he came out, seeing Yun dismounting from his horse, Nian Gengyao laughed and said, "Master Jiu, why did he come so sooner or later, the banquet is almost over!"

"I'm preparing for the funeral at home," Yun gritted his teeth and said, "I'm preparing for mine, and I'm preparing for yours too!"

"Master Jiu, I don't understand what you said."

"You will understand in a few days." Yun Heran sneered, "You have lost your military power. Do you know?"

"What did Master Jiu say?" Nian Gengyao shook his dizzy head and said, "I'm still a great general!"

Yun sneered again and again, and walked towards the reception hall, spat at the drunk-eyed Nian Gengyao with all his might, and said softly:
"Han Xin!"

Nian Gengyao stayed in Xining General Xingyuan for three days, and the tiger-skin chair was not even warmed up, so he received an order from Yongzheng Zhu:

Nian Gengyao, after learning about the trip to the ancient temple, he was overwhelmed with astonishment: Are you drunk, or did God take your soul because you killed too many people?I am full of Buddha's heart, and I will show you the fields, but I just want to enlighten your conscience, so I will put away my sharpness from now on, and I will be honest and loyal to the Lord.Er Nai uttered nonsense, and said to me what you should never say to your father and brother, so frantic to the extreme!You can only search for Tian Wenjing's words for these words!Kuang Er compromised the four characters "chaoqianxi", and his contempt for "sunset and chakran" is beyond words.Since you don't allow me to work day and night, the merits of Erxihai are also between permission and non-permission.I have issued an order to Yue Zhongqi, General Zhengxi will be replaced by him, it seems that you should not be a "big" character, and I will change to General Hangzhou as soon as I write it, and I will deliver the seal of the situation as soon as I see the order.Don't worry, I will definitely not be the emperor of Tibetan bow and cook dogs, but you must also complete me, and start as soon as possible and return home.There are many villains and people in your old department, and you have provoked a lot, and some strange things have happened. Although I want to preserve it, I have the law of the country!To tell to tell.See the article on March 23rd of the third year of "Yongzheng Dynasty Living Notes".The novel advances the time to when Nian Gengyao returned to the military camp from Beijing, and it seems that he should have been punished long ago.Nian Gengyao took this short Zhuyu and looked at it for half an hour, his heart was like a pot of paste spilled over, he couldn't think of anything, he couldn't think through anything.Looking at the original script sent back, it turns out that "Xi Chao Gan" was mistakenly written as "Xi Chao Qian" and "Jiu San" in the hexagram "Qian" in "Book of Changes": "A gentleman works all day long. Blame." "Work hard" means self-improvement; "vigilance" means vigilance.The general idea is that you can avoid mistakes by working hard and being careful from morning to night.Wanting to write an argument, I dug up Tian Wenjing's original book and compared it with Zhu's criticism. Yongzheng's Zhu's criticism is so hard to refute a single word!Like an old tree struck dead by lightning, he sat abruptly on the edge of the big fire, without moving for a long time, until Sang Chengding came in to feel a little bit of consciousness, and slowly put the memorial decree on the table, just said "" The yellow beams are ripe." He came out with his hands behind his back, stood on the steps and stared into the distance.

The sky was very overcast, but there was no snow. The thick clouds were pressed by the raging wind outside the Great Wall and rushed towards the southeast in groups.Nian Gengyao was like a statue made of bronze, with one hand holding the sword and the other tightly clenched.His pupils, which were as dark as ancient wells, stared at the empty shaft of the general.The tall iron flagpole whistled in the wind, making a "day" sound, and the military flag with "The Year of the General" on the flagpole seemed to be extremely cold, and it was pulled straight and shivered.The sergeants guarding the flag and the generals and soldiers guarding the door openings in the corners all stand with their chests upright and their stomachs sunken, standing in the wind like nails. Except for the sound of sand and stones hitting the doors and windows and the wind, there is a dead silence everywhere, except for the room opposite. From time to time, Yun Yun's unhurried chanting voice came from time to time:
Hunting Tianjiao outside the city of Juyan, the white grass is burning all over the sky.

When the clouds are empty and the moraine is empty, the horses are driven, and the autumn plain is good for shooting eagles.

Protecting the Qiang school and taking advantage of the barriers, the general broke through the Liao at night.

The jade target, horn bow, pearl and horse, the Han family will give Huo whoring Yao... "The Han family will give Huo whoring Yao! Huo Qubing, a famous general who fought against the Huns during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, attacked the Huns six times and opened the road to the Western Regions. He is the nephew of General Wei Shi , Both of them are equally famous. With outstanding contributions, he was promoted to General Hussars. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to build a mansion for him, but he refused: "If the Huns are not destroyed, there is no home for them. He was under 30 years old when he died of illness. Du Fu's poem: "May I ask who the general is, I'm afraid it's Huo whoring Yao." "Nian Gengyao smiled wryly and turned back to his room. Seeing that Sang Chengding was still in a daze, he said: "It's just a matter of coming early and coming late. It's no use worrying or being afraid.Although I am not as good as Huo Qubing who prostituted Yao Xiaowei, after all, the credit is still there, and it would be difficult for anyone who wants to cover the eyes and ears of the world with one hand.Don't do this, look at what this official did, I look like 70 years old, you look like an 80-year-old old man!We have done enough officials, we have earned enough money, and our reputation is not low. To put it bluntly, returning it to a Hangzhou general, even if it is relegated to the people, it is not easy. "

"I don't think it's that easy." Sang Chengding was worried, and his voice was muffled as if coming from a hollow, "The layout of the national players is pressing step by step, which is daunting! The emperor seems to want to..." Nian Gengyao lowered his voice In fact, what Sang Chengding said was exactly what he was thinking.After a while, without a word, he took out a file from the cabinet and handed it to Sang Chengding.Sang Chengding took it and opened it to see that there were 10 taels of leading silver bills inside, about seventy or eighty. Nian's great kindness's son-in-law's servant, if you tell me to die, how can I see my old man?"

Nian Gengyao sighed, and said, "That's why I did this. If it's really like what you said, not only I, but also my family will not be able to keep it. To be honest, I have been guarding against this day, so I will accept it." Among the 92 major crimes of Nian Gengyao, who took ten Mongolian women as concubines, "It is false to marry the daughter of Mongolian Baylor Qixin. "It says here that he took in ten or twenty (see page 573) Mongolian women, probably based on this exaggerated description. Two of them are pregnant. Tonight—" He paused, lowering his voice , "Take them out of this place tonight. I will send soldiers to send you to Shanxi secretly, and you will send those soldiers back. Then you leave Shanxi, don't go to relatives or friends, and find a secluded place to stay. If I pass this road safely Guankou, I will find you naturally. If my whole family is stolen, luckily there will be a boy, and you will leave a cigarette offspring for my Nian family. Good brother, do you want someone to cook us up?" , tears welled up in his eyes, and seeing that Sang Chengding was still hesitating, he said again: "If it wasn't for fear of being seen and suspicious, I would have knelt down for you by now!"
