Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 116: Unexpectedly, the famous scholar in Huizhuang Prison suffered strange humiliation
Yunlu and Hongshi entered Lao Qihua Gate in a large official sedan carrying green cloth, and went straight to Hongshi's mansion, Sanbeile Mansion, located at the north entrance of the alley deep in the flowers.Because Hongshi was ordered to "see" him, Yunlu remained silent and waited for the emperor's elder brother to speak.But Hongshi seemed to be very preoccupied, and he was just silently lost in thought under the dim light of the little red lantern.Looking out through the glass window, the street is dark.It was a shallow spring in February, and a sharp cold wind blew in through the curtains. The sour cold made Yunlu shiver for a while.After staying at Wubeile Mansion, Yunlu couldn't help but see the brightly lit lights in front of the house and more than twenty family members in the courtyard in front of the house. Some were holding brooms and some were holding long poles. They seemed to be cleaning and decorating the facade. He asked curiously: "What is Lao Wu doing? Didn't he go north?"

Hongshi's handsome face broke out into a smile, he glanced outside and said, "I came back as soon as I walked to Miyun. I handed the emperor a note saying that he was coughing up blood due to poor lung energy! I'll pass by tonight and take a look. He looked very good, so I even said a few words to him." Hongshi said, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath.Yun Lu couldn't help but wondered: "You are so young, why are you so lazy? You have no future!" Hong Shi smiled and said: "Uncle Sixteenth, I said these words to him. Hong Zhou responded to me with a gasp. , said, in terms of ability and achievements, who can compare with our uncles and uncles? Do you think they are very proud? When we meet, our faces bloom, and our teeth are broken behind our backs. Are those days very happy? "

"That's a stupid thing to say! Fathers have the same situation as their fathers, and children have their own careers!" Yunlu's heart moved, and he quickly glanced at the "Sanbeile" who was actually the eldest son, guessing his intentions, and said , "The Emperor only has three of your sons, and he is often sick. Who will share the worries among the sons?" Hongshi frowned and said, "That's not true! Uncle Sixteen, you don't know, there are some gossips outside, saying that the Emperor has been sick since Qiao Yindi, her body and bones are...I can't even say these words. Qiao Nizi is an authentic vixen and broom star. She defeated half of the provincial officials in Shanxi, and Nuo Min's life was at stake. She is also a fox. The fourth uncle has made the fourteenth uncle miserable, and now when he enters the palace, the emperor - even without those things, what kind of reputation would he have? You and the emperor are now the most eloquent, calmly changing your ways to persuade - Luma should not stay around if he interferes with the Lord."

Yun Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard these words before.He himself also felt that Qiao Yindi was an unlucky person as she was corrupting every place she went.But he also knew very well that Yongzheng only cared about this girl from time to time, and did not serve or serve her. He could not stop telling Yongzheng to "stay away".After thinking about it, he asked again: "Is it because these people refuse to go out on errands?"

"That's not entirely true." Hongshi looked into the distance as if his eyes were about to penetrate the sedan wall. "He said that when he walked to Miyun, he met a stranger named Jia Shifang. He claimed that if he went further north, there would be a bloody disaster this year. . Even when he returned to Beijing, he had to hide his talents for a year to avoid this disaster. He renovated the facade, probably because he listened to Jia Shifang's lies. He heard that a high-rise building was going to be built in the backyard, so he wanted to go out and think about it. I was anxious, so I went up to the building and took a look... He said these crazy things in such a serious manner that I couldn't help but laugh." Yunlu heard in his ears that Jia Shifang was scratched out.Several eunuchs in the mansion wanted to quietly visit the mansion and make recommendations to Yunlu and Shiliu Fujin.Yun Lu recalled the past when the eldest brother was in trouble with the second brother, the third brother invited Zhang Deming's eldest apprentice to come to the house to have a fortune telling, and the eighth brother asked Zhang Deming to deduce his fate. They all ended up with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Although he also wanted to see this. The immortal asked himself whether he was good or bad, and finally held back, because he asked: "I heard that you have also met Jia, is it true that he has some skills?" Hongshi sneered and said, "Someone advised me that it is true. , as a prince with a golden body, how could I associate with such a thing?"

Yunlu knew it was a lie, but it was hard to ask again after hearing what he said so high-sounding. Just as he was about to change the subject, the sedan chair had already landed steadily. A eunuch said in a male voice: "The third master's house has arrived, please." Master, come on!" The two of them stopped talking and followed each other out of the sedan chair into the mansion.Hongshi led them to the study and ordered: "Bring in two bowls of ginseng soup, please have it hot." A family member agreed, and then bowed and said: "Master Beile, the name of Qian, the second master of Prince Yi's Mansion." They are here, have you seen them now?" Hongshi seemed stunned for a moment, turned to look at Yunlu, and said, "Uncle Sixteen, why don't we meet, send them away, and we'll talk later." Yunlu. Lu thought for a while, Hongshi was the prince who was sitting in the throne, and Yongzheng had the authority to handle general government affairs without asking for instructions. He also had an order to talk to him. It was not appropriate to refuse such a trivial matter, so he nodded and walked to the side of the main room with Hongshi. In the small study room.When the two came in, they saw the second son of Prince Yi Yunxiang sitting in front of the desk, flipping through the pages of an album and waiting.An old man of about 50 years old stood next to him and talked with him with a flattering smile. Yunlu recognized him as Qian Mingshi, an attendant of the Hanlin Academy.There are also two middle-aged men, both similar in size and appearance. They are both wearing sapphire blue Ning silk lambskin robes with swastika prints, and black roasted silk mandarins. They generally have thick mustaches, but they look panicked and hold their knees with both hands. Sitting opposite Hong Xiao with half of her buttocks tilted.Seeing Yun Luhong come in, the four of them stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings to my two masters!"

"That's it." Hong Shi waved his hand coolly, letting Yun Lu sit down, and then said to Hong Xiao: "We are brothers, we meet each other with our heads raised. From now on, don't kneel down when you see me, just say hello to Uncle Sixteen. "

Hongxiao hurriedly bowed and said "yes", then smiled and said to Yunlu: "Uncle Sixteen, let me introduce to you, this is the money famous person who was visited by Emperor Kangxi in the 42nd year of Kangxi; these two are twin brothers with the same subject. The one who made it to the top is Chen Bangyan, whose name is seen; this one is called Chen Bangzhi, whose name is heard." Hong Xiao has just turned 20 this year. He has a long curved face, fair complexion, a pointed head, but good hair. The thick and long braids are tied with a red velvet bow at the end, hanging leisurely on the back of the head. He speaks quickly and easily, and looks very capable.He was originally the seventh son of He and the old prince. Before Yunxiang took the title of Fujin, Yongzheng took the initiative and adopted Prince Yi.Later, Yunxiang was offended, and Kangxi ordered him to return to Zongyuan's family. When Yunxiang was released from prison, he had two biological sons with two concubines while in prison.Although he returned to Prince Yi's Mansion, Yongzheng only gave him the position of second-class earl, which was equivalent to idleness in the clan.In terms of state of mind, he and Sanbeile Hongshi hit it off, so they move around the house frequently.Hongshi went to Changchun Garden to help Prince Bao Hongli handle government affairs, and because of Yunxiang's reputation, he was nominally appointed as an assistant in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in fact he became close to Hongshi.This is too much to describe in detail.After sitting down and offering tea, Hongshi said: "Hongxiao, I'm so busy, and you still want to make trouble for me. Why do you want to burn the face wash if you calm down and talk about it tomorrow?"

"Those who are running horses on Sanbeile's arms can probably handle this matter well." Hong Xiao held the bowl in both hands and said with a smile, "Their hearts are as tormented as a frying pan. I can't bear the fact that we are so close to each other. It doesn't matter whether you gain or lose. To you, it's just a mustard seed. To them, it's heavier than Mount Tai. Do you think it's Bo?" Seeing Yunlu's confused look, Hongshi said, "It's still about giving poems to Nian Gengyao. , the emperor approved it today, so it’s natural for them to feel uneasy.”

After his reminder, Yunlu immediately remembered that he had deceived Nian Gengyao from prison and ordered Nian Gengyao to commit suicide. Then he found out that Wang Jingqi was instructed by Nian Gengyao and conspired with Cai Huaixi and others to rescue the ten people trapped in Zunhua. The big case of Fourth Elder Brother Yun.The two cases were considered major treason cases, with extensive connections.From the Xining army, poems written by Qian Mingshi and Er Chen as gifts to Nian Gengyao were found.Chen Bangyan and Chen Bangzhi all use the fonts "seen" and "heard", which are poems written by Nian Gengyao. In addition to Nian Gengyao, they also praised "The emperor's virtue is like the sky being transformed", "Yao, Tian and Shun made famous generals" ".The money is famous but different from the others. The emperor's favor is not mentioned at all. He brags that Nian Gengyao "divided the Shaanxi banner into Zhou Rubo and used the drum from the sky to build the Han general." "The Second Monument" - which not only praised Nian Gengyao but also praised Yun Pingzang's merits, was found out and memorialized by several "devil kings" who were responsible for the investigation of the Second Department of Officials and Punishments.Yongzheng was not feeling well and had heard a lot of gossip and had nowhere to vent, so he approved the horoscope "despicable, shameless and despicable" and submitted it to the Ministry for discussion.After listening to Hongshi's talk about the imperial approval of the Ministry's document, Yunlu said: "The approval comes to me first. I can't take care of it for the moment. Please go to the Military Aircraft Department and ask Mr. Heng to send it back to the Ministry. I don't know what it says. .”

When the three people heard that Yong Zheng had issued an imperial punishment to them, their faces suddenly turned pale, and they all looked at each other in panic. They all stood up and turned their eyes to Hongshi.Hongshi saw that Qian Mingshi was so nervous that the muscles on his cheeks and mouth twitched, and the knees of the Chen brothers were shaking slightly. However, he didn't rush to speak, and sighed in an appetizing manner. The three of them were so frightened that they felt guilty.

"It turns out that this matter is not in my hands. The fourth brother (Hongli) did not leave the capital and was in charge of Yunsongxuan government affairs. The emperor summoned him several times." Hongshi said calmly, "The fourth brother came back and told me that your ministry The meeting was all based on 'obeying the rebels', and according to the "Qing Law", conspiracy to rebel does not distinguish between the leader and the subordinate, and it is always Ling Chi's crime." He sucked his lips, with a look of compassion on his face, and saw that the three people's faces were ashen, and he was satisfied He rubbed his palms together and said: "Hongli also thought it was too heavy-handed. He said that there were a few scholars who had no record of rebellion. Why did he do it so cruelly? He refuted the ministry's proposal without asking for an order and asked them to draft it again. Later, It was agreed upon that the execution should be executed by execution. Prince Bao still felt that it was too serious, so he changed the sentence by execution by execution and presented it to his master. Hongli also told the emperor that there were many rumors and lies in the capital, so it would be better to give him a lighter sentence and shut up the mouth of the villain. Listen. He said Uncle Sixteen and Zhang Tingyu were both present." Yunlu nodded and said: "There was no resolution that day. The emperor said, rumors say I am mean, but I don't care. The only way to stop the rumors is to kill these fatherless and helpless people. As a disciple of the emperor, rumors will perish without attack. Hengchen and I both advised the emperor to look better and said, 'Just wait and see.'" Hongshi then said to Qian Mingshi: "The two of them have something to do with you. Realistic. The poem you wrote to Mr. Nian didn’t even have a single word of praise for holiness. It was just flattering. He committed treason. It would be strange if you didn’t get involved! Don’t be so scared like a bear. Let me tell you, you All three of them have saved their lives - how about being dismissed from their posts and returned to their hometowns, never to be used again, are you satisfied?"

Lao Gao's heart suddenly dropped, and the color on his face returned. Qian Mingshi took the lead. Er Chen then lifted up his robe and kowtowed to the ground. He murmured: "The emperor's kindness is so great. Thank you, Your Majesty." For the virtue of rebirth, I would like to thank you princes, Lord Baylor, for your extraordinary mediation." Hong Shi handed Hong Xiao a copy of the memorial that Zhu approved in his sleeve, and said to the three people with a smile: "Although the death penalty is exempt, some living crimes are also very difficult to bear. ——This is Zhu Pi, look at it——get up!"

Hong Xiao took the document and read it. There were thousands of words in front of it, all of which were the process of repeated refutations and refutations by the Ministry of Punishment. The word "Jingkong" left behind was a shocking stroke of blood-red cinnabar cursive.

The Ministry's proposed crime was inappropriate.If he was charged with "rebellion", how could Qian Mingshi be summarily dealt with by "hanging and standing"?Qian is famous in the world, especially among the scum of scholars, and he is also the leader of religious sinners.When I was in the feudal residence, I heard a little bit about his misdeeds.Formerly under the imperial approval of Emperor Daxing, Qian Mingshi, who was engaged in compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty, took several of Wan Sitong's manuscripts as his own. Gao Shiqi noticed this, and was shameless and didn't care. He was demoted two levels and expelled back to his original class.This Holy Ancestor has already discovered that this person is a treacherous person!I always thought that he was just a scholar with no merits and occasional greed. Therefore, he took the position of a high-ranking official in the Imperial Academy and placed his father in the emperor's place. He served the domineering and evil generals. I really don't know what books he read and what kind of nature he cultivated.The sinners of the real-name religion are also the gangsters of the scribes!Is it enough to stain my sword and ax?Since he used his words to flatter evil and was not tolerated by the Mingjiao, I immediately adopted the words as the law of the country and gave him a four-character plaque with the words "Mingjiao Sinner" as a warning to others and ministers.As for Chen Bangyan and Chen Bangzhi, who are barking dog ears, they can be dismissed from their posts and return to their hometowns. I admire this!
Hong Xiao looked at it, smiled bitterly, handed the folded book to Qian Mingshi, and said: "Liang Gong (Qian Mingshi's nickname), his life is saved, it seems that he can still be a rich man, but this 'famous religious sinner' four The plaque is too heavy - a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. The emperor really hates you. You must be able to support it!" Everyone was relieved when they heard that Qian Mingshi's life was not in danger. Seeing this Even Yunlu was stunned when the edict came out: Qian, a famous scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Jin, a scholarly family, and the world-renowned "Tanhua Lang" with two Jinshi rankings, should hang high in front of his ancestral home with the words "Famous Religion" "Sinner" plaque not only disgraces the ancestors, but also makes me shameless as a human being, and makes it difficult for future generations to hold their heads high.Suffering such a shame and humiliation, Qian Mingshi would rather just eat a red knife in the West Market and enjoy himself. When the edict reached Yunlu's hands, the edges were already soaked with everyone's cold sweat.Yunlu looked at Qian Mingshi, who had shrunk into a ball and was sitting beside him without feeling any pain. He suddenly felt sad, and his face also turned pale. He stuttered and couldn't find words to comfort him. After a long while, he said: "Don't be anxious. , Don’t talk in random ways. The emperor is in poor health now, has a bad temper, and is depressed and angry when others gossip about him. He has thousands of words to say, so bear with it first, and we will explain it calmly. "

"Thank you, Masters Ten and Sixteen...for your kindness." Qian Mingshi said with difficulty.He raised his head, his face as pale as window paper under the moonlight, his head swayed slightly nervously, and his voice became hoarse and thick: "Mingshi is indeed a sinner of Mingjiao. In the past 20 years, Jinshi has been ups and downs in the officialdom, and he has nothing to do with his father. The repayment is of no benefit to the living people. I can only make a living by flattering the tomb articles. I live in filthy ways. I am not free from the ropes of party struggle. I do not follow the moral and righteous way of a saint. I am a sinner who talks about fame and religion. In fact, I am not wronged. As for that, it is Whether it is spoken, written on paper, or displayed on the doorstep, there is not much difference between the two words of seeking truth." Tears suddenly came out of his eyes, "... As for my children and grandchildren, I can't be sorry for them, my Qian family The seventh Jinshi of the fifth generation has been a prominent member of the Wujin family for nearly a hundred years. It is natural for him to regain his strength and peel off... I am lucky that among the grandsons, there are those who can stand up from shame and rebuild the family. Even if I die today, I will not be unjust. ..." After saying that, I couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into tears.Everyone was silenced by his old and shrill wail, and sat silently like woodcarvings and clay sculptures.After a long time, Hongcai woke up from his stupor. He took out his handkerchief to wipe the tears that burst out of his eyes, and said to Hongxiao: "Please give me some comfort. At this time, you must be careful to prevent disasters from coming out of your mouth. I think your Majesty is just I hate his party, Nian Gengyao, and if he is dealt with like this, there will be no more unreasonable crimes..." He walked up to Qian Mingshi, breathed out with infinite emotion, and said: "Cry, cry freely, and you will feel better in your heart. Feel better. Take care of your body... Remember, there is only one thing that can wash away this shame - time. You have refined your ambitions, cleansed your heart, and will see the light of day - Uncle Sixteen, Let's talk in the study over there." He gave way to Yunlu with a pale face, and Yunlu and Hongshi hurriedly left the study room filled with resentful cries as if they were fleeing.

"Uncle Sixteen," the two of them went to the west study room and drank a bowl of hot ginseng soup. Hongshi's spirit gradually recovered.Looking at Yunlu who was slowly sipping the ginseng soup, Hongshi frowned and said, "What do you think of Qian Mingshi's treatment?" Yunlu also calmed down and said, "What Qian does on a daily basis is not a crime. A true scholar of Duan. Honestly speaking, under Nian Gengyao's arrogance, which of us did not take advantage of him? Even if he wrote poems to praise him, at most he was just a "literary man with no skills", so he was punished like this. It's too heavy. I'm afraid I won't be able to intercede on my own. I'll see Yunxiang tomorrow and we'll protect him together in front of the emperor. We'll just wait and see." Hongshi smiled miserably and said, "Uncle Sixteen, you are so honest. Come on, the emperor is going to punish Uncle Eighth, can’t you really tell?”

...!
"The real reason why Qian Mingshi was offended was not those two bad poems." Hongshi smiled, took out a piece of folded paper for the Ministry of Justice's memorial from the desk, shook it open and handed it to Yunlu.Yunlu took it and saw that it was Wang Jingqi's confession: "In the winter of the 61st year of Kangxi, I went to Wujin, Jiangnan from the army, and met Qian Mingshi Nian's brother. It was warm in Jiangnan that year, and we gossiped. Qian said that the wind, thunder and lightning the day before yesterday were the winter months. A great wonder in the south of the Yangtze River, and then came the news that Yinzhen, the fourth son of Emperor Bengji of the Holy Ancestor, came to the throne. It was also a great surprise. I said this was a sign of disaster, an abnormality and a demon. The thunder and lightning in the winter moon did not come at the right time, and it was by no means auspicious to the country. Brother Qian Nian nodded and said yes." Hongshi pointed from the side: "There were also two disciples of Yin Jishan who said this, and the masters of Li Wei Mansion all testified. There were rumors in the capital that Yongzheng was not in the right position. Seeing this After checking the confession repeatedly, Qian Mingshi did not spread rumors about "wind, thunder and lightning". Otherwise, he really wanted to destroy the nine tribes! I think, Qian Mingshi is not an upright person after all, and with this confession, I am afraid that ten Uncle Six, you felt pity and rashly interceded in front of the emperor, asking for trouble. Why bother?" Yunlu slipped the piece of paper out of his hand.Yongzheng said, "The least happy person is to receive auspicious auspiciousness." In fact, he longed for auspiciousness the most in his heart. When Qingyun, Ruizhi, and Jiahe came, whether he received them or not, the look of joy on his face would appear. This is known to everyone.This Qian Mingshi actually linked Yongzheng's ascension to the throne and the coming of wind, thunder, lightning and disaster!Even the tolerant Kangxi would not tolerate committing such a taboo, let alone the picky Yongzheng!After a while, Yunlu sighed: "Qian Mingshi is a talented man after all, and I pity him very much. If he is so popular, I can't handle it - the emperor ordered you to talk to me, what's the matter?"

Hongshi looked out the window. The sky was probably overcast, and it was extremely dark. The cool breeze passed under the eaves, making a slight whistling sound, as if someone in the distance was faintly shouting something, giving this completely silent place. The cold night adds a bit of mystery and uneasiness.After being stunned for a long time, Hongcai said: "The emperor asked me to ask Uncle Sixteen and Uncle Eighth what kind of charter they have, because the Emperor will summon them tomorrow. The Emperor also specifically asked why Uncle Eighth had reported to the meeting of banner leaders several times. , the fourteenth uncle is not here. I wonder if the fourteenth uncle will go to see the emperor tomorrow?" Yunlu said with a smile: "What should I do? The emperor originally told me to go in early tomorrow, but what's the matter now? I asked you to ask." He explained the meeting in Prince Lian's Mansion in detail, and then said: "The Eight Kings' discussion is what they look forward to most. In the past, they were all hesitant and evasive, but tonight they told the truth. But it doesn't seem like it was premeditated. Prince Rui said very little from beginning to end, and seemed to be very hesitant. Before leaving, he even handed over a memorial." After saying that, he still took out the memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Hongshi: "If you want to see the emperor again tonight, just hand it over!" Hongshi frowned, took it and put it on the case, staring at the golden self-ringing clock at the door of the study with dark and unfathomable eyes, as if After gathering his courage for a long time, he said: "If the eighth uncle doesn't have other plans in his mind, it is not impossible for the eight kings to talk to the emperor about the political affairs. The most important thing is not to cause the imperial power to deviate!"

"What?" Yunlu was shocked, staring at Hongshi as if he didn't recognize him, "Are these the words of the emperor, or your words?" Hongshi's face under the shadow of the lamp was sharp and angular, and he giggled twice and said: " Why are you looking at me like this? I look so strange under the lamp. These are the words of the emperor. He said this when he met with the emperor the day before yesterday and this afternoon." Yunlu knew Yongzheng's attitude all the time, so of course he would not believe it easily: " Listen to Hongshi, your sixteenth uncle is a man who pulls down trees to catch old birds. Brother Xichao has been fighting for 20 years, and no one can do anything about it. This is why I can't do anything about it. I ask you to repeat the emperor's original words, don't use 'meaning' Two words to prevaricate!"

Hongshi sneered and said: "The emperor only asked me to convey the 'meaning', so of course I can only do it. But you are my uncle, so I can say the exact words. Well... the first time he saw me, the emperor said, ' Yunxu knows how to do things and be a good person, and I feel refreshed! It's a pity that this person is not a creature in the pool. What a pity! It's the eight kings' political affairs. Isn't it a good system? At the time of Taizu and Taizong, I was at the peak of the Manchu people At that time, it was also due to this system of deliberation." Seeing my surprise, the emperor smiled and said, "The rest of the things are easy to discuss, but the imperial power cannot be left aside. With a few more people to rule the world, I can feel more at ease." "

Yunlu looked at Hongshi intently, his eyes full of doubts, but no longer alert and hostile.Hongshi pondered, and then said: "This afternoon, I went to Changchun Garden to see Huang Ama again. He had just returned to the garden from Qingfan Temple. He looked very tired and tired. He told me, 'Not long after Zhang Tingyu ascended to the throne, Zhang Tingyu After discussing with me, I am inferior to the Holy Ancestor in three ways. The Holy Ancestor was a young emperor, and he reigned for a long time. I came to the throne in the prime of life, and I cannot enjoy the country as long as the Holy Ancestor. I think, no matter what happens, 20 years will not last long. I still have confidence. Now it seems that it may not be possible. I feel that my body and bones can't stand it anymore... Look at your thirteenth uncle, working hard and exhausted. Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi are both old. Seven can't afford to be the leader, and Lao Sixteen is a mediocre person, with enough success but not enough innovation - you and your Uncle Sixteen can chat in private: These banner leaders themselves definitely have no intention of coveting the big position. What I am afraid of is my own brother. If I can find a way to prevent the imperial power from being sidelined and let the old Manchu people in the country participate in politics, I will also have a right and left man, and the rectification of flag affairs will be handled naturally. How can I Don't you want the best of both worlds?' I said, since Huang Ama has this intention, why not summon Uncle Sixteen to discuss it. This is not a trivial matter, and we should also consult the Military Aircraft Department and Prince Yi for their opinions. Ama said, 'This matter is You need your Uncle Sixteen's approval before you can feel free to ask. I'll meet these flag owners tomorrow and they will bring it up before handing it over to the Military Aircraft Department for discussion.' - Uncle Sixteen, what is this? Do I dare to talk nonsense? This place is only one step away from the emperor. Do I dare to make false edicts and disrupt the government, bringing about my own disaster? "

Yun Lu took a deep breath, he was moved by Hong Shi's eloquent tongue.Thinking about how angry and helpless everyone was at Yunhu's place, I felt that it was not the best idea for the emperor and the flag owner to give in each other.And if this is really the case, it is natural that he can join the center and command the banner leaders as he wishes, which is many times more powerful than this prince who specializes in "internal affairs".Thinking about it, Yunlu said: "Since there is such a decree, what can I say? When I meet the master tomorrow, even if I don't say it, they will still bring up this 'political discussion' matter. To tell you the truth, I am fully aware of it." I'm on guard - I've already informed the Shanzhao camp that the whole city will be under martial law tomorrow. If anyone makes any move, we'll take it down first. In this way, we won't be surprised." After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief.Hongshi took Prince Rui's certificate and said with a smile: "I knew that Master Sixteen would be suspicious as soon as he mentioned this matter. I didn't expect you to be so murderous, as if I wanted to rebel - this Rui Prince, you are in Beijing, and you are about to be summoned, why should you write a memorial?" He casually tore the seal, opened the cover, looked at it, and said, "This is a memorial with a tribute. Single." Yun Lu came over to take a look, and sure enough, Huang Ling's cover fold said:

The king, Du Luo Gong, kowtowed to Long Live Jin'an and offered small tributes to pray to the saints.

Inside was a folded sheet with the words "tribute" written on it:

Ten jars of diced fried white belly fish, nine young eagles and harriers each, two two-year-old wild boars, one one-year wild boar, forty plates of deer tail, 50 yuan for deer tail bone meat, 50 yuan for deer rib meat, and 50 yuan for deer breast strips , one hundred bunches of sun-dried deer strips, seventy pheasants, one handful of barnyard grass, one handful of bell rice, fifty tree chickens, ninety handfuls of seven-mile incense, two male wild boars, two female wild boars, and sturgeons. Three hundred tails, one hundred white fish, ten altars of hawthorn, eight altars of pears, eight altars of ringworms, three hundred pine cones, two altars of mountain leeks, two altars of wild garlic seedlings, thirty pear wood spear shafts, and birch arrows. Two hundred arrow shafts, two hundred basswood arrow shafts, two hundred white birch arrow shafts, two hundred poplar arrow shafts, five pairs of sea green reeds, flower eagles and white eagles, five nesting dogs, and He Zhebei Yakari Qilewa Guanpeng rat skin 580 two pieces, purple birch bark [-] pieces, purple birch bark for the top [-] pieces, official purple birch bark [-] pieces, mink skin [-] pieces, white hair tips black Two hundred fox skins, twenty yellow fox and raccoon dog skins, twenty pairs each of live sika deer and horned deer, ten each of tiger, bear, and Yuanfox skins, yellow fox skins, lynx skins, otter skins, seal skins, and leopard skins. Thirty pieces each, sixty carved stork feathers, six hundred catties each of millet flour, kang barnyard rice, sorghum rice flour, corn flour, millet flour, buckwheat grits, millet flour, barnyard rice flour, and three hundred wild eggs [-] jins each of pecan kernels, pine nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and pine nuts, [-] jins each of white honey, honey spleen, honey tips, and raw honey, [-] jins each of wild grapes, [-] jins each of Du plum and sheep peach, Ba Two hundred kilograms each of vegetables, mountain leeks, mugwort, spearheads, river cabbage, day lilies, red lilies, bracken, mushrooms, and goosefoot.

After reading it, Yunlu couldn't help laughing and said: "It looks like a lot of dense writing, but in fact it's not worth a few. What's rare is that you have this heart. In the Spring and Autumn Period, you pay tribute to the tangerine and pomelo, so it's a gift to show respect for the emperor - Prince Rui's excerpt In fact, they express their feelings to the emperor. As you just said, if they abide by the emperor's constitution, why not discuss politics? "

Hongshi was suddenly shocked by this news: Although Prince Rui has no real power in his hands now, he doesn't care which flag he controls.But because of old Dorgon's reputation for protecting and supporting young children all over the world, there is only one row of seats, which is still the first one.Hongshi and Prince Lian were fighting for power. They wanted to use Prince Lian's power to seize the military office and the study room, and remove Hongli's reserve position. Suddenly, they came out of Duluo to express their loyalty to Yongzheng.
