Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 122: Feeling at the end of the road, Yunhu Sanyu, the overall financial situation, Yongzheng rests in prison

After a day of shocking hustle and bustle, Prince Lian's Mansion suddenly became quiet.There were no lights, no figures, not even a night watchman, and there were dark ghosts everywhere.Yunsu lay down on the sandalwood couch in the east study room, as if he had a nightmare. He let Hongshi go out, his sons in, and Fujin Wuya came in with his concubines and maids.No eating, no drinking, no words, not even sighs or tears, just staring longingly at the boxwood ceiling covered with passion flowers.There are more than twenty people in the family. The sons are kneeling, Wu Yashi is sitting, and the rest of the people are standing attentively, as if they are all in an ancient temple in the wilderness and deep in the mountains, listening to the spring breeze passing by outside. .Everything outside seemed to echo the eerie atmosphere in the room.The old withered grass on the wall trembled and moaned in the wind, and the newly sprouted willow branches danced in panic in the wind. The sound of the bronze horse's "ding-dong-dong-" came from under the eaves, adding to the desolation and helplessness of the people. The Lord’s mood.Finally, Yunhu spoke, her voice as calm as someone who had just woken up:
"Come together a little bit."

People looked at each other and moved a little closer to the couch.Wu Yashi personally brought a cup of dark red water to Yunhu and said, "My lord, please make do with it. This is a bowl of ginseng soup. Wherever you go, you can sing songs from that mountain. Sir, don't be too reluctant to let it go." There used to be two kilograms of old wild ginseng in the house, but the damn ones 'checked' it and disappeared. A phoenix with fallen feathers is not as good as a chicken, what kind of fucking world is this?" As he spoke, he choked with sobs and was about to speak out.She is the Laosheng daughter of Prince Lao'an, and was assigned to Yunhu by Kangxi.Yunhu's biological mother, a good concubine, was born as a Huanyi slave in Xinzheku of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, she married her, which invisibly elevated Yunhu's status among her brothers. Therefore, she was always the most arrogant and did not treat Yunhu. Taking this into consideration, her family secretly called her "the Queen Mother of the Royal Palace".Now that her family has been completely ruined, she feels that her natal family has nothing to rely on. The palace is worthless without Yunhu.Wu Yashi cried immediately: "It's all my fault for dragging you down..." There was a reason for her words: in the 47th year of Kangxi's reign, the prince was deposed for the first time. The ministers recommended Yunhu to be elected to the East Palace. Kangxi made a special order for this purpose. The edict was given to his sons, saying that Yunhu "received silk from his wife, who was the daughter of Yue Le, Prince An, and was jealous and committed evil..." In fact, the implicit meaning was that Yunhu was "afraid of his wife" and that there would be a "female heroine" to rule the world. "country" disaster.Yunhu never turned over again.

"Don't be like this." Yunsu smiled faintly and said comfortingly, "Actually, jealousy is jealousy. You know it and I understand it. Why do you want to add a crime without saying anything? I am a big tree that attracts wind and a high talent. The crime has nothing to do with you. Holy Spirit Zu originally only wanted to punish the prince, and the 'recommendation' was just a cover. Unexpectedly, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty recommended me. He was frightened, thinking that I had the intention to usurp power." He gritted his teeth and smiled, and then said: " I also consider myself not to be the emperor. But what kind of master did he choose for us? Every day, I think about how to make more money from the people! Deduct fire expenses, press for shortfalls, and the gentry have to pay for their food. The poll tax and the money we Manchurians spend every month are all taken into account! I am a prime minister after all, and I can't watch him drive the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to a desperate situation! I am a middle-aged man. Zhijie, he doesn't miss his five measures of rice; basically, he is jealous of me, jealous of my popularity, he - he is not even as good as a woman!" He blushed and said angrily, but soon He calmed down again: "Let's not talk about him anymore. Talking about him makes people feel more hateful and sad. God will not take care of a thieves like him and a single husband - and he is still talking about our affairs. Fujin is irrelevant. At most, I will drive you back. Maternal family. You must take good care of your sons. Whether you raised them or not, they are all of my blood. When they become adults, I will be safe whether I live or die..."

Before he finished speaking, the room was filled with howls.Wu Yashi was crying and shouting: "My Lord, why did you say this? That Thousand Sword Killer... what else will he do to you? Whether I live or die, I will follow you... ugh... Oh my God, please open your eyes... I have never seen a brother punish his brothers like this... Hehehe..."

"Don't cry, listen to me!" Yunhu shouted in a low voice and stopped crying, "I heard that I changed my title to the King of the People. As far as I can see, this is just a move divided into two steps. He won't kill me if he doesn't Or I will go crazy, and I will not let go. Who of you knows my fourth brother better than me? So Pepsi must be prepared. Forewarning will lead to failure, and failure to forewarn will lead to failure. If I am imprisoned, why do you all go in and sacrifice for nothing? But it's just two people waiting on you. I think they are Ziyan and Xiangzhu, two girls from the same room. To be honest, if you have to force it, I would rather change people again." As soon as he finished speaking, the two people holding towels and combs beside the couch The girl had already fallen to her knees, kowtowing her head and crying: "We are all born as beggars. I bought us from Ren Yazi, and now I and my mother have become a person above others - even to death." Come on, can I repay your kindness? God will not let a good person like Master Ba go to waste, and the servants will not leave you even if they die!" Yunhu felt relieved. Of course he believed Ziyan and Xiangzhu's words and entered Prince Lian's Mansion. To be a servant means to be a slave, but one must have received great favor from him.He was always willing to do good deeds and help those in need. He was known as the "Eight Wise Kings" and the "Eight Buddhas" for this reason.How I took care of these two girls in the past was all done according to the mood and has long been forgotten.Seeing their gratitude pictures at this time, Yunhu felt warm in her heart.

Wu Yashi wiped her tears and said: "It's hard for you two. But the matter is still unknown. If it really happens, the rest of the people will go to my mother's house. Isn't it possible that he will be implicated in his father-in-law's house?" Yun said. After hearing this, Xu just shook his head and said: "I know you still have some money, but it's only a million! If you come back home in despair, your mother's family will not look good. In my opinion, my mother's family can stand up and bring money." If you go back, you will just stay in their house and be alone with you. I will send all the other servants and servants away now!"

"Now?" Everyone was stunned. None of them thought that the matter would be so urgent and serious.

Hongwang was the eldest son. At fifteen or sixteen years old, he was already completely sensible. He knelt down and said, "Father! It's too eye-catching to act like this. Things haven't reached that stage yet, and it's easy for rumors to arise. The emperor is already very suspicious, so the smaller his movements are at this time." The better." Yunhu smiled bitterly and said, "At that point it will be too late to do anything else, good boy!"

Yunhu turned over and sat up, took out a thick stack of banknotes from under the pillow, weighed it in his hand, smiled self-consciously, and said: "It's best for people to have power; with power, what about money, beauty, and fame?" They all come without recruiting. The second is having money. Wasn’t it because the widow of Zulongli Zumba was so rich that she couldn’t rival the country? Take 800 million from me, and there are still 1000 million here. I want to divide it all, and I will divide it tonight . Take them all away tomorrow and disperse them! I asked him to copy them! I asked him to copy them door to door - this incurable Qian tuberculosis!"

Everyone was stunned at this time. None of them expected that Yunhu, who usually kept his mouth shut and never touched money, would actually have such a large sum of money in his own hands!While he was stunned, Yunhu divided the brand-new and stiff banknotes into two halves, and handed one half to Wu Yashi, saying: "This belongs to our family, and it is up to you to distribute it. The poor will have more, and the rich can skip it." Less!" He thought for a moment and said to Zi Yan: "Go and call He Zhu'er and ask him and the housekeeper Ding Jingui to come with the housekeepers on the second floor and listen to the instructions at the door of the Moon Cave." Zi Yan agreed softly. , squatted down and left.Fujin's face was full of tears and he said, "Good Lord! Isn't our family defeated tonight?"

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes." Yunhu said with a bitter smile, "If husband and wife are like this, let alone others? In fact, there is no feast that never ends, let alone this family, this dynasty, this generation, this country , this world will also come to ashes one day! Well, outsiders are coming, you are a respectable person, and it is not easy to look good. Only Ziyan, Xiangzhu and you are left here. He Zhuer is here, you will divide the money. ." Seeing Ziyan coming in with He Zhuer, followed by more than a dozen second housekeepers, and finally the old housekeeper Ding Jingui, Yunhu ordered Hongwang, "Send your aunts and wives back!"

Ding Jingui and others stood with their hands down, waiting for Hongwang and others to go out, and then led the housekeepers to pay their respects to Yunhu.Ding Jingui said: "I took a count and found that no one in Tongfu went out according to the master's orders. Only three boys in the teahouse in the west courtyard wrapped some Jun porcelain tea sets and escaped. There were also eight people waiting in the east study room in the east courtyard. The one who complained personally was the most bastard of the Liu family in the east courtyard, and the whole family of four ran away. Han Niuer, the outer concierge, and the others discussed to retrieve them one by one, and asked them to kneel down and die in front of the master's study. They were slaves. Hold it down and don't let them move rashly. This is the real time. If the traitor escapes, the slave will eventually use it to beat these beasts to death!"

"You must not do this! If you are truly loyal to your master, you must listen to your master's words. I am a person who shows kindness without expecting repayment. If you stay, you are loyal; if you leave, you must have a reason to leave. Not only are you not allowed to chase, Each family also has to help 500 taels of silver!" Yunhu said in an unquestionable tone, gently scanning his housekeeping rules, "I don't remember gratitude to outsiders, but not demerits, let alone my own family? How much less at this time? Not only now, but also in the future when you meet, you must not be reckless!" After saying that, he took a breath, took a sip of the tea brought by Xiangzhu, and said one long and one short sentence about sending his family members to go their separate ways. He said: "I thought about it, for each of the 350 million silver, five thousand for each single slave, four thousand for each married family, eight thousand for each slave born in my family, six thousand for each eunuch, and the rest, I Keep [-] for yourself, and a dozen of you will divide the rest - there are probably around [-] - equally. No matter what you do, just wait for me and keep it in mind. I can't imitate Prince Zhitou. I picked it up and was reluctant to give it to the servants, so they all copied it."

While Yunhu was speaking, all the family members were already crying together.Ding Jingui kowtowed repeatedly and said in a choked voice: "Master, you... are you confused? Do you want us all to be unjust slaves? We can only survive for a life, what money do we want! Master, don't worry, you We will follow you wherever you go, even if you are planting crops, can’t our masters and servants support ourselves? My foolish master..."

"Your master is well-read in scriptures and history. He is not confused." Tears welled up in Yunhu's eyes. "I have thought about it carefully. Fortunately, I can survive this disaster. It couldn't be easier to meet. If I can't survive, it would be better to separate early. . Tonight, the money is divided, those who can leave can leave, and those with families and children. It is too eye-catching to rush out of the house during the day. One after another, it is over. To make people aware, I just changed my dirty name now , he is still a king, and he can still bear it. Yongzheng wants to kill everyone step by step, and all of you who stay here are just accompanying him." He looked at He Zhuer with tears in his eyes and said, "It's only you who suffers. Your reputation is too great. If you are old and clean, you will have nowhere to go. I will give you one hundred thousand silver, and ask a reliable friend to save it temporarily, so that you can escape from difficulties in the future." After saying that, tears started to roll down like beads. .

He Zhuer came to Yunhu Mansion as an errand in the 47th year of Kangxi's reign.He used to be the chief eunuch beside the deposed prince in Yuqing Palace.Seeing that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty unanimously recommended Yunhu to take over the throne of the East Palace, he voluntarily surrendered to Yunhu.Nine elder brothers competed for the rightful place. He traveled to various palaces and circled around the Forbidden City as the eunuch in charge of Prince Lian's Palace. He was also a small thorn in Yongzheng's eyes. With such a great reputation, it was natural that he could not escape this misfortune.At this time, he was still calm, holding back his grief and anger and said in protest: "I have no plan for a 'way out' at all. I don't want money. Master Su usually rewards them enough to survive their poverty. They also have to fly far away." That's it! Besides, if I'm sitting in a circle with you while I'm going through a lawsuit, we have to have some money, right?" Yunhu thought for a while and said, "Although what you said is true, according to Yongzheng's character, he would never do it. Out of kindness, you asked me to keep so many decent people. Haven't you seen Qiao Yindi in front of the Fourteenth Master? You'd better take the money. If you have this kind of heart, it's not in vain for me to love you all the time. You and Others are different. I am disabled and serve in this mansion. Sometimes, in order to hide from outsiders, I have to take it out on you. It is not easy for you to have a hard life..." Before he could finish his words, He Zhuer Already feeling the dull pain, the male duck's throat stopped for a few moments, but he still cried out, intermittently and continuously, as quietly as resentment, in the dark, moonless palace.

Two days later, the Military Aircraft Department drafted a decree and issued it, deposing the title of Prince Lian and replacing him with the title of Prince of the People.Yun Zhen and Yun Ze didn't mention a word at all.At this time, Yunzhu's list of house raids had just been transferred to Yunsongxuan, and Yunzhu and Yun's had not yet been reported.Yongzheng sent his seventeenth elder brother, Prince Yi, Yunli to deliver the order and urge him to do so. He himself returned to the Forbidden City by chariot, went to Fengxian Hall, Chengqian Palace and other places to burn incense and tell him why Kangxi had dealt with his younger brother. He also went to Dajue Temple to pray for Yunxiang. Add incense and longevity.When we returned to Changchun Garden, it was already early afternoon. I heard from the guard De Lengtai that Zhang Tingyu, Fang Bao and Zhu Shi were still discussing politics in Luhua Tower and had not left the court, so they passed the meal to a table.He asked the chef in the small kitchen to cook a few dishes and browsed through them while eating.Before he finished eating, Gao Wuyong came in and reported: "Seventeenth Master has come to pay the order. Can you see the master now?" Yongzheng looked through the window and saw Yunli standing under the Danqi with a bow, so he smiled and said:
"Old Seventeen, aren't you tired of standing there for so long? Come in!"

Yunli walked in with steps like wind.He is only 27 years old this year. Most of Kangxi's sons are tall and tall, but he is short. He has been training outside the Great Wall all year round. His calves have become slightly bandy due to horseback riding. He is stocky and his face is dark and red. It seems that he is covered in Inexhaustible energy.Yunli came in, bowed to Yongzheng Daqian'er in a proper manner, and said with a smile: "My brother's mission has been done. I went to Yunsongxuan first. The three ministers were attending the banquet, so I didn't go in. I think I'll go back to the emperor first. , maybe you can also have some snacks to satisfy your hunger!" "Then you are not bad at thinking about it." Yong Zheng laughed, his mood seemed to be very good, pointing to the dishes on the table and said to Gao Wuyong: "These are all I'll go back and reward you, Master Seventeen. I'll only use this plate of steamed buns stuffed with red bean paste." Gao Wuyong hurriedly agreed, bringing the plate and placing it in front of Yunli.When Yunli looked at it, there was a plate of fried pheasant with green pepper, a plate of celery and bean sprouts, a plate of roasted three kinds, and a plate of steamed deer mouth strips with sauce.Except for the celery and bean sprouts, the rest seemed to be just moving. There was a bowl of duck bone soup in the middle of the four plates, and there was another plate with more than a dozen dumplings. He beamed with joy and said, "Brother, I got up early today." , I’m really hungry now, so I’m going to act recklessly!” He picked up a large piece of deer mouth strips with chopsticks, stuffed the meatballs into his mouth, picked up the pastry, broke it in half, puffed out his cheeks and chewed, In an instant, Fengjuan Canyun had eaten everything.Yongzheng saw that he ate deliciously and rewarded him with his own bean paste buns. Yunli bowed his thanks and settled the bill in an instant.Yongzheng smiled and said: "Thank you for being a noble man from Tianhuang, you are so gluttonous! Who will argue with you? Are you full? I will reward you if you are not!"

Yunli wiped his glossy mouth with his hand with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is laughing, this was brought out by the troops. I was stirring the spoons in the same pot with the general of the Gubeikou Chinese Army, and when we started to eat, what was going on? People are like a pack of wolves! I ate slowly by myself and made people laugh at me for being a young man, and gradually I got used to it. Brother Thirteen was actually out training at that time, which made him suffer from stomach gas. Sick. In fact, the emperor does not know that the soldiers below are afraid of training the most, but they are not afraid of fighting. There are delicious food in the fighting, and they do not get up early to drill, gather in the middle of the night, practice cold practice, three nines, and hot practice three days and three volts. Fighting with love, eating with love, soldiers We are the happiest! That’s why we have the slogan: Don’t be alarmed if the sky is not alarmed, don’t be afraid of death, fight without pain, just worry about having nothing to do, and it will be even harder to train troops in [-].” He said at the end, Yong Zheng laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward, and asked "How come you didn't eat bad stomach gas? I see you are stronger than when you left!" Yunli said: "The stomach is strong. The more you eat, the stronger it becomes. If the stomach is not strong, the more you eat, the yellower it becomes. Everyone. The talents are different. Brother Thirteen is more thoughtful than me, so he suffers from this."

"Let's get down to business." Yongzheng laughed for a while, feeling relaxed all over, and sat cross-legged on the kang. When he saw Yindi coming over again, he said: "I'll give you a cup of tea for Seventeenth Master. - Aqina and Seth What did Heidu say?" Although Yunli returned to the capital not long ago, he already knew that Qiao Yindi was not an ordinary palace servant. He leaned over to take the tea, nodded with a smile, and replied to Yongzheng: "My brother went to see the sixteenth brother first to convey the order, and the fourteenth brother Brother has moved to the Shouhuang Palace. His place has been empty after several moves. I am afraid that the furniture and daily necessities in the Shouhuang Palace are short, so I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make more for him according to the position of the shells. Aqina has not eaten for several days. , lying on the bed and listening to the order, he only smiled and said nothing. Seth Hei accepted the order and thanked him. He looked very arrogant and said, "The emperor is the supreme saint, how can he say something wrong about me?" All is said, what else can I say? I can only ask you, the elder brother on the stage, to speak for you. Now that I have lost all hope, please allow me to become a monk. If the crime is too serious to be pardoned, I will ask for a canonical punishment and be punished according to the laws of the country. . Living in seclusion and confinement, being crazy and stupid like my elder brother and making people pitiful, it is better to die!" Yong Zheng listened, his face darkened again, and the fingers holding the lid of the tea bowl turned white.Then he asked, "Anything else to say? Just say it."

Yunli sighed and said seriously: "There is nothing else to say. My younger brother came out of Jiubele Mansion and met Tulichen. He said that the Shanshan Capture Camp was patrolling in Xishan and caught two suspicious people. He claimed to be the Twelfth Master. I went to the Twelfth Master's house to check, but no one in the house could recognize it. There were two letters in the luggage, one in Chinese and one in Chinese. The words in the Chinese were very ambiguous. Please identify it and tell me what it looks like. It's Lao Jiu's handwriting. No one can read the text. I've brought them all for the Emperor to take a look at." He took out two letters from his sleeves and handed them to Yong Zheng with both hands.Yongzheng took out one letter first, but it was the letter in Chinese. The outline was like a heavenly book, a bit like the Persian in the mosque, and a bit like the English in the archives of the Qintian Prison. It seemed to have a line of Tibetan written on it. He turned around and stared, but he didn't understand a word.Looking at the Chinese letter, it is very simple:
Wang Wutiandi sincerely knows: With the unparalleled energy and the courage to lift the mountain and carry the cauldron, you can win all the battles and end up trapped in Gaixia.If you use deceitful methods to defeat Zhuzi in the end, you will risk your death. This is not a crime of war.The situation has been lost, the tent is empty and there is no cover, don't act like a woman in the barracks, Yu Ge'er is in love, just use the blood from your neck to repay your heart.Not well-known.

Yongzheng stayed for a long time and asked: "Where are the captured messengers? Have they been recruited?" Yunli replied in a low voice: "People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs recognized them. One is called Mao Tai and the other is Tong Bao. They are both Jiu. ——In Seth Hei's Mansion. I was tortured and interrogated in the back office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and both of them were arrested. It was a letter written by Seth Hei to Yun. They couldn't understand the letter in Western characters. He said It was made by Aqina himself when Yunzhen was in Xining. For the convenience of communicating with each other, he, Seth Hei and Yun each held a copy of the code. I quickly checked their copy sheets, but there was no such copy of the code in it. Who? I can’t even figure out what the letter said.”

Yongzheng thought to himself.At this time, if I try to search for this translation, I will be disappointed. Some people will even say that I am cruel and mean. Even if it is translated, the case may be more difficult to deal with. After thinking about it, I sneered and said: "They don't have any thoughts at all." It's hard to guess. They are just asking for death so that I can kill them and become a tyrant. Yindi, think about it right now, do you still have half a brotherhood?" He glanced at the main hall coldly, He stood up and walked to the case, writing an edict quickly on the paper with his pen!

These two items were sent to the study, the Military Aircraft Department, and officials above the rank of Minister of the Sixth Ministry.I have always made secret words to prevent others from noticing, but this is true only for enemy countries.He was allowed to stay in Xining before, but he was not prohibited from writing letters.Is it possible to create special fonts and hide them secretly so that they cannot be seen by everyone?When Seth Hei sent the letter of approval, "The situation has been lost," his words were particularly shocking. Can he be summed up as "dark and despicable"?All your ministers have discussed it and reported it to me.

As soon as he put down his pen, Zhang Tingyu's voice was heard outside, seeming to ask the eunuch guarding the door, "Has your Majesty eaten? Did you enjoy your meal?" Several people came over to thank him and said without raising their heads: "Come in, all of you. .”

Yunli hurriedly stood up and saw Ertai also coming in with Fang Bao and the other three.The five ministers nodded for a while, and Zhang Tingyu and others saluted again.Yongzheng ordered everyone to sit down and ordered Yindi to "enjoy the tea" and said: "We can all enjoy the wonderful articles. Yunli brought two letters from Seth Hei. You, the learned scholars, might as well open your eyes!"

"Your Majesty," Zhu Shi was the first to finish reading, handed it to Zhang Tingyu, leaned down in his chair and said, "The matter is obvious. Everyone knows that Aqina and these people covet the throne, and they have been working hard for 20 years. You just A little more evidence will not add anything. Nowadays, dozens of memorials are received every day, either impeachment or exposition. They always describe their serious crimes and recommend how to deal with them. Your Majesty - In any case, this is just a This case is not a government affair after all. The court's thinking should still be focused on world affairs..." Zhang Tingyu also said: "This case of Seth Hei should not be made public. This is actually a new detail in an old case." "They are showing off a "Dead pigs are not afraid of being scalded by boiling water," Fang Bao said, "I just want the court to keep an eye on them and not care about other things. They will fight against you to the death. In one word, beg for chaos and get into chaos." If things happen again, the New Deal will be delayed.”

Yong Zheng listened to the analysis of several people's music and couldn't help but realize it with horror.As if he wanted to vent the anger in his chest, he took a long breath and said with a sneer: "I am also thinking about this matter. It can be said that we, the emperor and the ministers, coincide with each other. In this way, Yunzhi Yunlu will handle the case, and the military will handle the rest. There is no need for people to specifically ask. The Military Aircraft Department should supervise the implementation of the new policy in each province and treat it as the first priority. Ertai has already issued a decree, asking him to come up with the implementation measures for the reform of native land and return to local migration in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and then prioritize it. Orders were issued one by one for the localities to handle. If there is any obstruction among them, you can consult with me at any time. The spring famine is coming. Last year, there were several floods in Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangxi. There were already orders in advance, and people from Huguang were transferred. Grain, please ask if it has been transferred. The magistrate of Heze County handed over a famine report. People there have starved to death and all the grain depots have been exhausted. Shi Shilun was the governor of Lianghu, and he had plenty of grain. , and then allocate 400 shi to Heze. In addition to people's food, there are also crops to grow! I am starving to death without planting seeds, this is not a joke!" He took a sip of water, and suddenly remembered that Qiao Yindi was from Dingxiang, Shanxi, and He said: "Snowstorms broke out in Yanmen Pass, Dingxiang and Wuzhai in Shanxi. I sent it to the governor of Shanxi and personally went to see if there were any people who had no food to eat. They provided relief on the spot and saved Shanxi Tong from having to save food." Several ministers looked at each other. At first glance, it seems that the snowstorm in Shanxi is not serious, it only destroyed a few houses, but the drought in Gansu is more serious, so why pay special attention to it?Yunlu smiled and said: "Lu Feng, the governor of Shanxi, has reported that the harvest in northern Shanxi is average, and that in southeastern Shanxi is a bumper harvest that has not been seen in a century. They are not short of food. The capital also needs 100 million shi every year, which is shipped from Jiangsu every year. So the military aircraft We have discussed and allocated [-] million stones from Shanxi to give Songsong the burden. It is not appropriate to exempt Shanxi from money and food now." Zhang Tingyu understood Yongzheng's thoughts and said with a smile: "What the Sixteenth Master said is that I think it is not necessary to exempt Shanxi from transportation. Save money on food and let them try to comfort the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties, so that the people can feel the emperor's grace."

Yun Lu was about to speak, but when he saw Qiao Yindi standing by with a silver water bottle, he suddenly understood. He smiled and nodded and said, "Chen Heng is more considerate than me."

"The Henan Provincial Examination Scholars are dismissed." Yongzheng sat cross-legged with his legs numb, pacing back and forth with his hands on the back of the kang, thinking and talking, "It seems to be to Tian Wenjing, but in fact it refers to the fact that the officials and gentry work as errands to pay for food. Right? , it has been an old rule for many lifetimes that one person can ascend to heaven from nine tribes. If he is a gentry, he should not be able to pay for all the food. If such a great sweetness is gone, some people will not be willing to die. Tian Wenjing cannot be sure, but there are some officials with good academic backgrounds. The son was dissatisfied with his miscellaneous official and sometimes stirred up trouble. Fang Bao could write to Tian Wenjing and say that Prince Bao had been ordered to go to Henan in person. In addition, Li Fu also reported that Tian Wenjing had imposed excessive taxes and ravaged scholars. Li Fu is also my trusted minister and will not tease me. Don’t mention Li Fu’s name. Just talk about the matter and let him report it according to the facts. I will naturally give him guidance if there is any problem, and don’t make outsiders laugh. Gone." Yongzheng stretched himself at the door of the palace, probably jumped out of Yunhu's case, and returned to daily government affairs. His mood suddenly became much brighter, and he stared at Wanmu with eyes as if he was recovering from a long illness. The resurgent Changchun Garden.

It is the beginning of spring in March, which is the most pleasant time of the four seasons.All the trees in the garden have sprouted their delicate buds. The winter jasmine flowers beside the fence are clustered together like countless bright yellow stars. The morning glory vines have silently climbed up the mottled old wall to the middle of it. .Countless unknown little flowers are dotted on the green velvet grass, attracting bees in the bright sunshine.Whispering purple swallows walked back and forth under the eaves, built nests with mud in their mouths, and made chirping sounds...

...After a long time, Yongzheng came back to his senses from the charming scenery.He turned around and entered the hall, looked at several ministers, smiled, and said: "The discussion of politics today was good. I think it is much happier than the brothers fighting over each other. Think about life, just fighting for fame and wealth is really disappointing. It's really boring. I think even Aqina and the others should have a clear understanding after seeing this spring. Yun is in Zhangjiakou, and Yunsu was sent to Baoding to be managed by Li Fu. Yunsu is in Beijing. It's easy for them to cause trouble over nothing in Beijing. As long as they don't do anything wrong, I won't bother to make things difficult for them." His eyes flashed softly, he paused, and then said: "Kneel down."
