Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 119: The Majestic Power of Heaven Yongzheng Punishes His Brother for Pregnant Punishment Afraid of Disaster

Yongzheng's face suddenly turned from livid to blood red, and he clenched his fine white teeth tightly. He walked up to the four princes who were so frightened that their faces were as pale as earth. Write what.Because the cinnabar was too full, two drops were dropped on the linen paper specially used for issuing imperial edicts before the pen was placed on the paper.The blood-red cinnabar probably stung him, and Yongzheng put down his pen again, wandering around his seat with his hands behind his back.Zhang Tingyu knew that he was thinking about how to deal with these "iron hat kings". Because he also hated the Manchu people for being domineering and arrogant, he was willing to use the emperor's hand to suppress their momentum, so he lowered his head and pretended not to notice.Ertai was well aware of the heavy weight of matters. Originally, Manchurian bannermen were deeply dissatisfied with the emperor's preference for the Han people. Since the order to rectify the banner affairs, countless Xilinjueluo family members and bannermen came to his house and questioned " Does your Majesty still want us Manchus?" As long as the actions of the three princes in the Golden Palace today are handed over to the Ministry, at least a "beheading and prison waiting period" will be drawn up.Not to mention that the flag affairs cannot be "rectified", the entire Fengtian will be shaken, and it may even affect the kings of Eastern Mongolia.Manchuria and Mongolia are the foundation of the country. Once chaos occurs, the Qing Dynasty will be in danger.In his eagerness, Ertai bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say from this servant: In the sixth year of Tianming's reign, Emperor Taizu Wu once burned incense to heaven with all the kings and prayed together: Gods above and below, even if there are evil people among my descendants, Heaven will destroy them. , do not torture or injure, just to open the door for killing - please pay attention to it!"

"Well?"

Yongzheng stopped pacing faster and faster. His spirit seemed to be in a trance. Suddenly, a word on the west wall of the Hall came into view:

No haste, be patient

It was the motto that Emperor Kangxi inscribed to Yongzheng.The bulging veins on his forehead gradually disappeared.The expression on his face also calmed down. He sighed softly and walked to the screen on the east side. After a long time, he asked, "Do you realize your guilt?"

"I wait... you are guilty!"

"I will not punish you if you know the crime." Yongzheng knew that he had to spare these princes who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but he was unwilling to do so. As if he was slowly spitting out the anger in his heart, he said slowly: "Say a heart-breaking word. , you are just "fearing punishment" at this time, and you do not necessarily know your guilt. In fact, there are only two words for me to govern the world, one is filial piety, and the other is sincerity. As far as the word sincerity is concerned, it means treating heaven and earth, treating father and brother, and protecting the country. All the ministers in the world come from their own nature without any hypocrisy or pretense. There is a difference between internal and external. I treat the people of the world like the light, wind and moon, and my favor is equal; I treat the Manchu people like the children of my family. There is a family relationship of flesh and blood. The higher your expectations, the more demanding you are, and you are filled with a heart that hates iron and cannot become steel. You are following people's nonsense today, and you are being used as a bastard. As far as you are concerned, you still cannot believe in my sincerity. Words, this is one, this is disrespectful! Secondly, you feel that you have been serving heaven for a long time and have nothing to do with the Manchus. You are bewitched by others and want to share some imperial power. You must know that the current situation in the world is no longer what it was at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. . Originally there were a hundred times more Han people than we did, the emperor was a Manchu, half of the ministers and provincial officials were Manchus and Han, which already caused a lot of complaints. Can you stand it and have another 'banner king to discuss politics'? You can conquer the world immediately, but you can't rule it immediately, because The situation has changed, do you understand?”

"I...understand."

"You don't understand!" Yongzheng's anger surged up uncontrollably. He shouted angrily and said, "If you understood, you wouldn't listen to the instigation of the three rebel kings and cause trouble in the court! The eight kings discussed politics, hum. ! You are so determined!" Yong Zheng waved his hands and regained his senses: "Basically speaking, you are just shouting here. If I ask you today, which eight kings are they? Can you tell me? ?”

Several princes had bruises on their foreheads, but they kept kowtowing and said, "I really don't know..."

"You don't even know this, why are you talking about the 'Eight Kings' Discussion of Government'? It's so ridiculous!" Yongzheng said sternly. In fact, the Eight Banners system had been annihilated and collapsed. He himself was in a mess, but he turned to the kneeling Yu Hongtu and said: "This is The things of the past and death are 'history'. Hongtu, tell these beasts about it!"

"Yes!"

Yu Hongtu kowtowed in a very elegant and unrestrained manner. He was the only person who won the lottery today. He was afraid that he would be overly happy and cause everyone to resent him. He pondered for a while and said solemnly: "According to the Eight Banners General Chronicle, it has been four years since the destiny of the emperor. Taizu ordered the five ministers Chuhuli, Yaxizhao, Kulitang, Ergxingge, and Xifu to take an oath and conspire with the five kings of the Khalkha tribe to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. At first, they were not eight kings, but called 'The ruling king of Shigu Mountain'.

"In the sixth year of Tianming, the year Ortai just mentioned the oath, the situation changed again. There were no kings of the Five Guards or the kings of Khalkha who participated in the oath. It was the four great Beiledaishan, Ah Min, Mongolian Ertai, Huang Taiji, and the four kings Degelei, Jierharang, Ajige and Yuetuo - this is the so-called "Eight Kings Discussion".

"But in the future, it may not necessarily be these eight people who will be named to discuss important matters. In Taizu's will, those who each have the same banner, such as Dorgon and Duduo, are not among the eight kings. The rest, Heshuo Baylor, can only be used at any time. It was updated until the system of the Eight Banners Council in the hands of the Holy Ancestor. Although the name still exists, few people can pinpoint which eight kings the Eight Kings Council refers to." Yu Hongtu was really familiar with the country's history, and after this There were many important meetings, which princes participated in the political affairs, and which princes did not participate in the political affairs for what reasons. It was explained thoroughly, but none of them was a complete discussion of the eight princes.He also prepared a detailed account of the reasons why Taizu killed Surhachi and his son, Shizu killed Prince Su Hauge, and deposed Prince Rui Dorgon.He was quick-witted and very eloquent, and he described the emotions of the kings who were subject to the law as if they were witnesses.Yu Hongtu was full of energy, knelt on the ground, and spoke plausibly: "It is precisely because the eight kings have never been able to unify their powers when discussing politics, and it is easy for ministers to covet the big position. At that time, I, Lord Shunzhi, took over the power of the three banners and gave it to the emperor. , Emperor Kangxi organized the Banner Camp and the Han Military Camp into the Ministry of War, which were unified and promoted by the state. In the past 70 years, the more unified the imperial power was, the more the country was governed, and the banner owners also enjoyed the blessings of peace and prosperity. During the chaos of the San Francisco, the central power became more powerful Wherever he looked, there were rebel officials but no rebel soldiers. Only Prince Niebuhr brazenly proclaimed his troops to cause rebellion, and the general Tuhai and Zhou Peigong were defeated on the [-]th. It happened that he was commanding an old member of the Eight Banners! If it were like the ancestor Yinxun Under the ancestral system, all parties in the Eight Banners were in charge. Wu Sangui caused chaos in eleven provinces. How could he easily give in? Even if there was no rebellion of the Three Feudatories, the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty was also a lesson from Yin. The same room was at odds with each other. Not only was there no great rule today, what happened to the kings? How can we make peace with Shengjing's bloody food, and pass it on to our descendants without replacing him?" He spoke sternly, talked about everything, and ended up making a strong statement, which was really resounding.Finally, he kowtowed to Yongzheng and said, "I have finished playing!"

"What Yu Hongtu has told you today, you should treat it as homework, go down and review it carefully. It is your duty to review the past and learn the new." Yong Zheng looked at Yu Hongtu with great appreciation, and was just surprised in his heart: Such a talent is so close. In the Forbidden City, it was only discovered today.He slowly turned his gaze to Yongxin and others, and said: "The evils of the Eight Banners' interference in politics are unspeakable! But you are just ignorant. The ones who committed the evil are the eighth elder brother Yunsu, the ninth elder brother Yunzhen, the fourteenth elder brother Yun, and One is Yun, the tenth elder brother, now in Zhangjiakou. You take advantage of their power, and they use your strength. It’s hard to tell the people of the world about your unpredictable intentions! Thinking of your ancestors’ achievements, I have no intention of killing or punishing you. But from now on From now on, whoever dares to take risks again, colludes with the people in power and plots evil, I will take his head to punish the world! - You withdraw from the Qianqing Sect and wait for the decree!" The four princes kowtowed and stood up, holding on. Kneeling with sore legs, he staggered toward the palace door.Yongzheng waved, "Prince Rui is back!"

Duluo trembled for a moment, then turned around and approached Yongzheng, knelt down and said, "Long live what is the oracle?"

"When the three kings came to the capital, they always carried one mouth on their shoulders. They sincerely competed with me in the ring, and they wanted to follow Yunhu to gain benefits. You are different." Yongzheng smiled tenderly, "Hongshi has given you the opportunity. I have said some good things for you! I am the emperor and am rich all over the world. I don’t intend to give you a mere tribute. It’s rare that you don’t mix in that pile. It’s rare that you are so loyal. His heart. When old Prince Dorgon sees you like this, he can smile with joy!" Duluo was so excited that his whole body trembled, tears came to his eyes, and he choked and said: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and the emperor knows me! But the position of the king is the same. , in a situation like the one just now, it is not appropriate to come forward to argue with the kings, and ask for the emperor's clear advice." "Of course, I understand in my heart! If you come out to stand on my side, outsiders will think that there is internal strife among the people. You can also trust me. You can handle it yourself, so I am very happy. But you are already a hereditary prince, and I have no reward for the supreme title. Hongshi will note it down, and Prince Rui can add another Eastern Pearl to his crown. That's fine. Red velvet knot top. In addition to the prince, you can choose another son from among your own sons, and I will make him the county king!"

Hong Shizheng felt that he had survived the disaster. What he feared most was that Yongzheng would pursue him and Prince Zhuang for their mistakes in delivering the imperial edict.At this time, he was completely relieved. He bowed quickly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty! Prince Rui is indeed a wise king who is loyal to his master!" When Douluo was still humble, Yongzheng smiled and said: "Needless to say, I have rules for rewards and punishments. Yes. If you do something wrong, I will deal with it in the same way. If you deserve it, you can accept it without any doubt. Third brother, go out and deliver the order, ask everyone outside Qianqing Gate to come in, and continue the court meeting. After delivering the order, you Go to Lao Ba and Lao Ninth's place, as well as Lao Fourteen. Tell them not to panic, but to be calm and wait at home for the court's punishment - take Tuli Chen there and ask the infantry commander's Yamen to take charge. These are the guards of the palace. That's it, let's go!" Yu Hongtu thought that he had nothing to do here, so he knelt down and resigned.Yong Zheng smiled and said: "Okay! It's only right that you come in with the class."

Qianqing Gate was within a stone's throw of Qianqing Palace. As soon as Yunzhi went out for a pack of cigarettes, hundreds of officials followed the original path and entered the palace again.There was no music played this time. Yongzheng sat high on the Sumeru Seat with no expression. Zhang Tingyu, Ertai, Fang Bao, Duluo, Hongshi and others all sat in their usual places with serious expressions.However, Prince Yi Yunxiang changed to an easy chair. He was a man who had been ill for a long time. His body was as thin as sticks and he sat upright with exhaustion. He stared at the officials filing in, lowering his head from time to time, as if He was filled with emotion and seemed to think of nothing. It was not until the ministers shouted long live that he focused his attention on Yongzheng.

"Master Zhu, come up and sit down." Yong Zheng broke the extremely oppressive silence in the hall, shook his body slightly, and said to Yunxiang: "Old Thirteen, I was afraid that you were in poor health, so I gave you an easy chair. Please. This way of sitting is even more painful. It’s so noble. I’ll get you a pillow to put on your head. You can tilt it if you want. If you can’t sit still, you can move around. I’ll try to make this meeting as short as possible – it doesn’t matter. Is it possible to jump out again? A Cao Cao?"

The courtiers below were so frightened when they heard these words that were chilling to the bone.

"You have all seen it, why am I willing to cause trouble over nothing? The tree wants to be still but the wind has not stopped, what can I do?" Yongzheng looked calm, smiled at himself, and said: "They underestimated people too much, treating me as Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Hui Jin of Jin Dynasty Emperor, what are you doing to coerce the emperor and order the princes! It should be noted that the person who is high up today is Prince Yong, who has been weathering the wind and rain for 40 years and worrying about the hard-working royal affairs! When he is old and doing errands, he is well aware of the shortcomings of civil officialdom. He has walked through the thorns and has not yet Do you know those sneaky tricks?" He changed his tone and added, "But today we will discuss major affairs in the court meeting. It is still the topic at the beginning, and the speaker is not guilty. All ministers can prepare their own opinions."

"Don't be shy. I only punish guilty people and treat rebellious people. I never use words to incriminate others, and I never use words to bring disaster to others."

This is too false. Xu Qianxue was beheaded at Chaishikou for reciting "The bright moon still cares about me, the breeze has no intention of leaving anyone alone", and the blood is still in his eyes; now there is a Qian Mingshi, the disaster of words, Still unpredicted!Who among the courtiers would dare to roar when he is angry?

Still silence.Yang Mingshi, who was kneeling on the west side of the throne, took a step on his knees and said loudly: "Long live, my minister Yang Mingshi has made a statement. It has been written into a memorial and I would like to present it to the emperor!" A young eunuch hurriedly walked over and respectfully presented this chapter of Yang Mingshi to the imperial case. superior.

"Very good." Yong Zheng saw that everyone was silent and knew that it was caused by the big fuss just now.His original intention was to refute a few ministers who were ignorant of current affairs and opposed to political reform at today's court meeting, and then issue an edict to promulgate major policies such as the return of Huo Huo to the public, so as to block the private discussions in the private offices of the six ministries and nine ministers of the capital.Yunhu and others suppressed this quarrel, hitting the mountain in a crooked way, which had the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.Moreover, Yongzheng was full of resentment towards Yunhu at this time, and he had no mood to chat with the officials below. He suppressed the smile on his face, held Yang Mingshi's memorial with his hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Since we have repeatedly After asking, no one has any objections, that is generally feasible. It is common for someone to impeach Tian Wenjing. I immediately issued an order to visit Hongli when he returned to Beijing. Naturally, he must deal with it fairly. No matter what Tian Wenjing is, As long as other people don’t have other agendas or have ulterior motives towards the king and father, and speak out of public interest in politics, I won’t care if they say they are right or wrong. I think some people actually have something in mind, but the situation was disturbed today. Okay, I have some mental barriers and dare not speak, or I am willing to speak in this situation, it’s okay, go down and write a memorial, either secretly or clearly, just play it up, I will be able to discern the insights myself. That is, after the decree is promulgated , if there are any inconveniences or mistakes in its implementation, we can still report them directly."

After Yongzheng finished speaking, he was about to leave the court when Yunxiang, who was sitting in the easy chair, suddenly twitched in pain.He propped himself up with both hands, trying to sit upright, but his hands softened, as if he had been hit by a stick, and he fell down again, with a mouthful of blood spurting out from his mouth!Yongzheng stood up suddenly, holding on to the back of the chair with one hand, and looked at his beloved brother with horrified eyes.More than a dozen eunuchs were so frightened that they swarmed up and surrounded the chair. Only then did Yongzheng come to his senses and shouted in succession: "Quickly! Quickly call the imperial doctor!" The imperial doctors guarding the east wing of Qianqing Palace had already heard the news and stumbled towards the door. And enter.One accidentally tripped on someone's leg and fell to the ground.There was a commotion in the hall, and Ertai stood up and shouted: "Kneel down! Don't whisper!"

"Brother Chen..." Yunxiang opened his eyes after a long while and saw Yong Zheng leaning over a group of imperial doctors to look at him. He moved hard and said with a forced smile: "Brother Chen has always been competitive, but today I am embarrassed in public. It seems really The deadline has come... The Holy Ancestor... The Holy Ancestor... My brother is going to follow the Holy Ancestor..." Yongzheng looked sad, caressing Yunxiang's forehead, his eyes were full of tears, and said: "Old Thirteen ", don't think too much. You have... a long life! Mr. Wu said you are going to bed at the age of 92! You go back, I will use the best doctor and the best medicine, everything will be fine..." His tears were rolling down. Fall out.Yunxiang smiled sadly and said, "Thanks to the master..." Without any further hesitation, several eunuchs carried Yunxiang away with the easy chairs stacked together.Yongzheng returned to the throne, with his back to the ministers, and after a while he suddenly turned his face.Zhang Tingyu was most familiar with Yongzheng's character. It was expected that Yunxiang's serious illness had angered him. Seeing that Yongzheng's face was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning were about to break out in an instant, he was thinking about how to tactfully persuade him. Yongzheng had already spoken with a thick cough: "Listen, Ministry of Punishment: It has been planned that the Autumn Judgment of criminals, except for the crimes of treason and ten evils, which are specially approved by me, will be suspended for one year to bring blessings to my brother Yunxiang!" His eye circles became a little red. He looked up at the top of the station, as if he wanted to penetrate the palace and look up at the vast sky: "He followed me and the late emperor on errands and collapsed from exhaustion! 20 years ago, who didn't know the heroic and chivalrous Bo Yuntian's desperate efforts? Sanlang'! He collapsed from exhaustion. There was also Li Wei, who was also exhausted. Some people said that Tian Wenjing only received three qian for his fire consumption. When I was on duty, I was besieged on all sides. He told me in a memorial that he was as skinny as a stick and would not live long, and he was going to be exhausted too! I myself only slept for an hour or two a day, and I was exhausted. You guys Look at this old minister Zhang Tingyu, his hair has become as white as snow in three years! If I didn’t create difficulties for my ancestors above and prosperity for my descendants forever, would I need to work hard at night like burning lamp oil? These elites of these countries , Are all of them so tired?" Zhang Tingyu closed his eyes, tears flowing silently.I could only hear Yongzheng's voice becoming more and more exciting and uncontrollable: "...I am the king in the vassal residence, and my majesty is not less than that of the emperor today. Although I often go on errands and rely on the sacred majesty of the Holy Ancestor, I am still ten times more comfortable than today. Not only! What’s so good about this emperorship! But there are people who persevere and persevere in pursuit! I wholeheartedly pursue political clarity and people’s livelihood and stability, but it’s a villain like Yunhu, Yunhuyun, who is trying to take advantage of evil forces. I will take care of you. Their thoughts are not on the world or the subjects. They are just trying to achieve the glory of this person. They are as filthy as dogs and pigs! Aqina, Seth Hei...Aqina, Seth Hei... ..." He paused, gritted his teeth, took out a piece of paper, and scrawled with a red pen:
Yun Yun Yun Yun and others formed a clique and disrupted the government, and they coveted the high position until death. They were angry with both people and gods!Yunzhu changed his name to "Aqina", Yunzhu changed his name to "Seth Hei", Yunzhu——

He suddenly thought that Yun and he were from the same mother, so he ticked off his name very irritably, and wrote the word "Qin this" viciously, and said to Ertai: "You ride a fast horse to Yunsu and announce the decree. Yun Yu changed his name to 'Aqina', and Yun Yu changed his name to 'Seth Hei'!" Thinking that Yun was too cheap after all, Yun Yun then thought of Nian Gengyao's money-famous reputation, as if he was going to go out of his way to get poisoned, and pulled out a big piece of paper He came over and wrote the four words "Mingjiao Sinner" in big Chinese characters, threw away the pen, and then raised his head.

The civil and military ministers had never seen such a furious look on Yong Zheng's face. They were all stunned and frightened. Some of them stood up straight and forgot to kowtow. An official from an unknown ministry suddenly fainted in the palace and fainted on the spot. !

"My actions and intentions are as clear as the sun and the moon! My ancestors and gods all know that I am upright and upright!" Yongzheng roared, "You are all members of the 'Ba Ye Party' and the 'Jiu Ye Party', so I'm afraid you won't even care about my duplicity. Young Master. Today in this majestic place of Tianshu, in this bright and upright palace, where hundreds of civil and military officials have gathered, as long as one of you comes out and says: I am not as good as that 'Aqina' or that 'Seth Hei', I will never incriminate you. , give up your seat to him now!" He scanned the palace with challenging eyes and a stern smile. After a long time, he saw that no one dared to speak, and he seemed to calm down a little.But it was only a moment of calm. He thought that the Yunhu Party had been operating in an intricate and intricate manner for many years. I don't know how many of the people kneeling below were members of his party. He had personally written the imperial "On Clique" and yet no one had come forward to expose Yunhu. Yun Chu’s conspiracy!Yongzheng suddenly felt an inexplicable anger. He felt that he had only defeated Yunsu in terms of power. No matter how virtuous he was, he could not compare to that "Aqina". He couldn't help but feel jealous and incomprehensible. "It's really strange," he said, "The righteousness of the monarch and his ministers is at the top of the three cardinal principles. You are all scholars, but you are as stupid as a deer, allowing the members of Yunhu's party to do evil in the government and the public for so many years! That Qian is famous, born in Tanhua, He has never read any books, yet he holds a noble position in the Imperial Academy, and he goes to support Yunhu's best friend Nian Gengyao! It makes people sick just thinking about it! This horizontal plaque of "Famous Religion Sinner" has already been inscribed, and it's The Ministry of Rites awarded Qian Mingshi a "gift" to send him back to the south of the Yangtze River and hang it on the door of Qian's house. The Changzhou magistrate and the Wujin County magistrate went to Qian's house on the first and fifteenth day of every month to check the status of the hanging plaque. If it was not hung, Reporting to the governor, I naturally have another plan. Jiangnan Province, a place where people gather together for humanities, actually has a scum like Qian Mingshi. We should reflect on ourselves, reflect on our shame, and stop the provincial examination for one year in Jiangnan Province. Wang Jingqi Although he has been punished, his native place is Zhejiang, so he should do the same! On the day Qian Mingshi left Beijing, the Ministry of Rites notified all officials, and officials below the bachelor's degree were asked to write poems as a 'departure' for him. Since he Literary words that flatter and flatter evil are not tolerated by famous religions, so I will take the literary words as the law of the country and show it to others and ministers as a warning!"

Zhang Tingyu saw that Yongzheng's words were getting further and further, and Yun was involved in the case of Wang Jingqi and Qian Mingshi. He was deeply afraid that the emperor, who was already a little angry and lost his temper, would speak out and say more embarrassing "cooking".While Yongzheng was drinking water, he stood up and walked slowly to the throne, saying in a low voice: "I just came from Taicai Imperial Hospital to report that Prince Yi is fine. He wants to see the emperor."

"Hmm!" Yong Zheng seemed to have been pricked by a needle. When he realized it, he already felt that he had lost his composure.There was no time to think about many words, and some matters should be discussed with the Military Aircraft Department and the Study Room before deciding, but "you have no words to say." Since the words have been spoken, there is nothing to change.Yin nodded and signaled Zhang Tingyu to step back, and said: "I was originally going to discuss the new policy with the ministers, but the night owl disturbed it. But then again, squeezing this pustule and peeling off this layer of rotten plaster is not the beginning. What a great news. With the implementation of the New Deal, there is no telling whether the obstruction will be reduced! Just now, Zhang Tingyu reported that Prince Yi has recovered from his illness. He is a good and honest minister of the country and a rare virtuous king in ancient and modern times. If you are provoked by today's events If you are sick, if there is something I cannot bear to say, I will kill you with 'Aqina' and 'Seth Hei'!" After saying this, he waved his hand and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

Yongzheng did not return to Yangxin Hall, but took the Luan Yu directly out of Xizhimen and went to Qingfan Temple to visit Yunxiang, then returned to Changchun Garden.He was so weak that every joint seemed to have been soaked soft by vinegar. When he walked, he felt like he was stepping on a pile of cotton, one step up and one down. Every foot was unsteady, and his head felt dizzy.He felt hungry, but when the royal chef came in and looked at the delicious food and wine on the table, he had no appetite at all.Gao Wuyong suspected that he had stomach qi and disliked meat, so he ordered the imperial kitchen to make a bowl of Beijing silk noodles, add vinegar and ginger juice, sprinkle some garlic flowers, and add two drops of sesame oil and bring it to the table. Yongzheng reluctantly ate it.The clothes were crooked on the big pillow on the big kang in Dan Ning Ju Nuan Pavilion, and he told Gao Wuyong: "I want to be quiet for a while. I don't see anyone except Zhang Tingyu, Fang Bao and Ertai." He took a few memorials at random, While watching, he was just lost in thought, and the scene of going to Qingfan Temple just now flashed before his eyes.

"Your Majesty," Yunxiang stretched out his thin arms outside the quilt, holding Yongzheng's hand tightly with both hands, as if Yongzheng would suddenly disappear if he let go, his voice was sad and clear, "I have been ill in the past few years. I have read several history books. Since ancient times, emperors have been as diligent in seeking medical treatment as you are, and have been unable to eat or sleep well. Even the saints, none of them can compare with you. I sometimes think, Your Majesty - for example, every time you meet with the officials of the prefecture and county, I have to personally inquire about the affairs of every county and township, and the heavenly language earnestly reminds me - is it too trivial? But when I think about the overall situation, I feel that this is the only way. Because... because you are 'first for the world'. Hundreds of years of bad habits have been established. Chen Xiangyin, how easy is it to reverse the decline? Except for the emperor's close ministers, there are really not many people who know that the emperor wants to track down the Holy Ancestor and surpass the ambitions of his predecessors. What you want to do is an eternal great cause. The ministers in the temple below, But most of them are mediocre. The so-called high-minded and mediocre people are really difficult for the emperor. So please pay more attention to talents..."

Yong Zheng listened to his words, as if he was about to leave a last message. His heart was sour and hot, and he almost burst into tears. He said comfortingly: "Look at you, you are still thinking about these things when you are so sick. Keep your energy until you recover." , let’s talk again…”

"Recover -" A smile appeared on Yunxiang's waxy face, "I have been righteous throughout my life, and people call me 'King of Chivalry'. But I have also done a lot of evil. Kill Fengtai Admiral Cheng Wenyun, Cheng Wenyun cannot be killed It's a crime, but the situation had to be like this at that time, and it makes sense. Sister Aranjo, two weak women, were wholeheartedly infatuated with me, but I also killed them under wrong suspicion..." Tears rolled down his cheeks, "Now I I saw them as soon as I closed my eyes... You can live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own, isn't that what you often say, fourth brother? So... the emperor's thunderous wrath will naturally punish those who should be punished, but don't do it easily Angry. He is Bage, who has the dangers of mountains and rivers in his heart and the strictness of the city in his chest. He is obviously the leader of the traitorous party, but after all, he is the same emperor as us. It is enough to strip them of their power and make them unable to harm the government. Don't... ...Kill!" Yong Zheng wiped his tears with his hands and said with a choked voice: "Brother, remember it. Don't think about it, I will personally save Sister Alanqiao's life and death here -" He stood up, clasped his hands, and murmured " Reborn curse":
Remove all karmic obstacles and be reborn in the Pure Land Dharani - Namo Amitabha Ye, Duotaga Duoye, Duo Diyeta, Amilidu Bavi, Amilidu!Siddambapi, Amilidu!Emperor Vikalanda, Amilidu!Vikalanaduo, Gamini, Gagana, Zhiduo Kali Saha...

After reading, he lowered his hand and leaned over and said to Yunxiang: "Sister Alan Qiao is very familiar to me, and I understand now. They have already lived in a good family in the southeast and have been reincarnated. Maybe we are destined to be reborn again. This Don't think about it anymore, okay?" Seeing Yunxiang nodding silently and thoughtfully, his mind seemed to be a little calmer, and then he left lightly...

It seemed that the wind was blowing outside Tan Ning's house. The magnolia trees in the west area of ​​the palace had not yet sprouted, and their branches swayed and collided in the wind, making a "pop, pop" sound, while an old bamboo in the east made a rustling sound.Yongzheng seemed to see Hongshi coming in when he was in a haze, and said: "I am very tired, you can go ahead. If you have anything to say, I will talk about it tomorrow."

"It's windy outside." Hongshi did not retreat, bowed and said with a smile: "This wind has passed, and there will be no cold weather this year." My son thought of what Ama said, "The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Important things must be done.”

"what's up?"

"My son is confused," Hongshi said, "'Eight Kings Discussing Government', from the very beginning, Amma and the kings and ministers never let up. How could Uncle Sixteen miscommunicate the imperial edict? Is he deaf or confused? , or are there other articles later?”

"What article?" Yongzheng asked in surprise, "What did you hear?" Hongshi smiled and said: "My son talks to Huang Ama every day, who can say anything to his son? According to his son, maybe Prince Cheng (Yun) (Zhizhi) or Prince Bao dropped some trick behind him. Uncle Sixteen was ordered by others, so he had no choice but to falsely pass on the imperial edict." Yongzheng was suddenly startled and asked: "What evidence do you have?"

Hongshi smiled faintly: "Father, don't forget the story of the candle shadow and the sound of the axe. What's the use of Long Ke's jade certificate? It's not that he wants to do evil to harm you! He is still an old minister in Tuogu! Prince Bao is waiting when he sees it. The person who took over the big position is going around trying to win people's hearts! Who is like a son, following his father's stupid actions without any idea!"

"You fart!" Yongzheng grabbed a shoulder pad and threw it at Hongshi, "Hongli was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, how could he falsely pass on the imperial edict? How dare Yunlu touch his head when a leaf fell? Tell lies and do fake things, why don't you do it? It’s time to wait! Go and learn from your eighth uncle, and then come back and show off with me!”

Hongshi disappeared, and a woman's shadow approached the imperial couch. Yongzheng said, "Can't I even sleep for a while? You-" He was stunned for a moment, and it turned out to be Qiao Yindi. When he looked closely, she looked like she was dead. Xiaofu couldn't help but rub his groggy eyes and shouted: "Is it Xiaofu?"

"Your Majesty, sleep well." Xiaofu pursed his lips and said with a smile, "It's true that new people forget old ones. Now that you have Yindi, you can still think of me!" After that, he turned and left.Yong Zheng was so anxious that he put on his clothes and stood up to follow, saying: "Where are you going? Wait for me!" "Didn't you recite the "Rebirth Mantra" to me? I'm going to 'Sidan Po Bi'!" Xiao Fu said. Gone far.

Yongzheng was confused, one foot high and one foot low, chasing after him like riding on a cloud.Suddenly the scenery seemed to be on the vast beach of the Yellow River, and the cold river wind made Xiaofu's clothes flutter and his steps stagger.In the whirlwind of yellow sand, Yong Zheng chased her shadow while shouting. He finally caught up with her, but at first glance, she looked like Yin Di.Yongzheng wiped his cold sweat and said: "Is this a dream or reality? Are you Xiaofu or Yindi?"

"Thanks to the Emperor, we still have the Supreme Bodhi," Yindi sneered. "Don't you hear that 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form'! Whether it's a dream, no dream, or not a dream, isn't it all the illusion of color? I'll be burned to death on this old persimmon tree. "Excuse me, you were there in the green gauze tent 20 years ago, and you saw it so clearly, and you still said you were dreaming or not!" Yong Zheng felt in a daze that she was a little blessing again. When he heard her say "burn to death", he remembered that she had not been in the world for a long time. , but not scared.Just as he was about to ask a question, Xiaofu said again: "Our fate has ended. From now on, the world is far apart. Things in the world are chaotic and deceitful, and people's hearts are as evil as the wind of the Nine Netherworld. You should take care of yourself!"

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Fu disappeared. The desolate wind howled on the dark and vast beach. The yellow sand waves undulated and chased in the wind. The shadows of the dark tree branches in the distance danced in the wind. Yong Zheng looked at it with absent-minded eyes. The sky, choked with grief and unable to control itself, called out hopelessly over and over again, "Xiaofu! Xiaofu - come back...Yindi, Yindi...don't leave!" He suddenly realized that he was the emperor again and shouted anxiously. Calling: "Guards and eunuchs! Where did you all die? Build a temple for Xiaofu! Send someone to find Yindi for me!"...

"emperor!"

Gao Wuyong, who was guarding the outer room, stepped into the Nuan Pavilion in a few steps. While covering Yong Zheng with the quilt, he said in a low voice: "You're in trouble - all the slaves are waiting here! You drink some water first, and I'll go take a look." Miss Qiao, if she is willing to come, can she be called over to serve the master? Also, Mr. Fang and Zhang Tingyu have come in, can the master see them?"

"Okay, call in." Only then did Yongzheng realize that it was Nankeyi's dream. Thinking of the dream, his heart jumped wildly. While watching the eunuchs holding the lamps, he ordered: "Yindi must not be happy, but don't force it."
