Chapter 132: The magical Taoist priest cures the serious illness and uses Qiao Zhi's brother to move into the family slave.
On the first day when Yongzheng's edict to return to Beijing arrived in Beijing, Hongshi had already received a notice from the eunuch Qin Gouer, which detailed the dialogue between Yongzheng, Ertai and Zhu Shi in the Rehe Garden.He immediately called Master Kuang to come to "Guyuxuan" in the West Flower Hall to discuss the matter.Kuang Qingxing was writing replies to foreign officials from various places while he was sorting things out with several masters in the back study.Hearing the call, he put down his pen and hurried over. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Third Master, did you call me?"
“It’s so hot that my front and back are soaked with sweat.” Hongshi personally brought a plate of ice-cold watermelon, “Here, eat some to relieve your anger—here, that’s Qin Gouer’s letter, read it first. "After saying that, he tilted his bamboo chair and swung his sunflower fan, closed his eyes and meditated.
Kuang Qingxing took the pages of tissue paper and read them over and over again.He said nothing, but walked outside Guyuxuan and stood under the eaves. He stared dizzy at the swaying willows by the pond. Waves of smoky wind blew in his face with a scorching heat wave. There were countless cicadas on the trees. There was a high-pitched chirping sound, but it seemed that you didn't even notice it or hear it.After a long time, he turned back and came in, smiling at Hongshi in the shadow: "Third Master rewarded Qin Gou'er with 300 taels of silver, and he still feels distressed when he comes back! Just this letter, where can you buy it for [-] taels of silver?"
"It's not that I feel bad." Hong Shi also smiled and said, "The emperor's palace rules are strict. Eunuchs who make friends with the king and ministers will be killed without mercy. I'm afraid it will be self-defeating! The fourth brother doesn't have these skills, isn't he still well-informed?" Kuang Qingxing shook his head and said: "You He is different from the fourth master. His mother is a noble concubine, and the queen mother is always around. In the 51st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the holy ancestor asked the fourth master to study with him in the palace. He stayed there for a long time and presided over Yunsong for many years. Xuan Zhengwu, there are so many people who are fawning over him, and he can reveal the news with just a few words when we meet, so why do we need to spend money to buy the news?"
Hongshi felt sour in his heart when he heard this.I don't know how many fortune tellers he has invited in his secret place to recommend and create fortunes for himself, and they are all of extremely noble character.I often look in the mirror and read photo books countless times, and I feel that no matter in terms of intelligence, experience, willpower or appearance, I am not inferior to Hongli.Why did his father love him so much?While he was thinking wildly, Kuang Qingxing said again: "Qin Gou'er reported this news, and it may not be the effect of the money. When the fourth master went out, you took charge of the center and took over the situation. This is the real reason! He is an errand in the palace. , to give foreign officials a little convenience, I have a lot of money, and I will never be currying favor with you with 300 taels of silver."
"Li Fu is going to be in bad luck." Hongshi fanned leisurely, "And the eighth uncle, the ninth uncle, and the tenth uncle - this is really sad - they were not originally from the same group. Li Fu is a writer. He is ten times better than Tian Wenjing in terms of quality. It’s such a pity.” “The real unlucky one is the Eighth Master.” Kuang Qingxing’s eyes shone brightly, “The emperor is actually most afraid of cronies. When the Eighth Master has not lost power, All over the civil and military circles of the imperial court, there are scholars who are well-known in the literary field. Although the leading figures have been imprisoned, the 'party' is still there. Third Master, the chaos of the 'eight kings' discussion' was going on in the Palace of Qianqing. I wonder if you Didn't he pay attention? From the beginning to the end, no one openly faced Prince Lian. At the beginning, he used Tian Wenjing to do it! It can be seen that Tian Wenjing is already a cannon, and he will bear the brunt of attacks on the New Deal. So, who is protecting the Holy Lord? When he attacked Tian Wenjing, he immediately suspected that he was targeting the New Deal and himself. The more he attacked, the more he defended, and the more he defended, the more he attacked. Those who watched the excitement and practiced Taipingquan, and those who stood on the dry bank to watch the river rise were originally following Ba Ye as pawns. Now he is laughing at the joke again, and even writes a post later to spread rumors. With the emperor's temperament, he will give him three legs even if he sees nothing. How can he tolerate so many ministers who are alienated from him? This is how his illness becomes more serious. of!"
Hongshi had already opened his eyes, sat up straight, and even forgot to fan, saying: "It can be said that you can see fire with insight! How should I deal with it?" Kuang Qingxing smiled and said decisively: "Two words: beat the tiger to death. Never show mercy; sit down and work hard at Yunsongxuan. To rectify the Eighth Master Party is in line with the emperor's resentment, and working hard is in line with the emperor's desire for governance. As for the fourth and fifth masters, treat them with courtesy, respect, sincerity, and love. , be on guard - they are all his sons, let him see for himself who is more filial and capable!" Hongshi was stunned for half a day, and said: "I think the emperor's intention is more than that. Supervisor Hongli With all the money and food in the world and the errands of the Ministry of War, he might be interested in asking him to lead the troops to fight against Arabtan!"
"I thought of that too."
Kuang Qingxing said gloomily: "Since the student entered the Third Master's sect, he has been thinking about the struggle for the throne between the Eighth Prince and the Emperor. Why did the Eighth Prince, who had all the power in the world, be so popular and popular, but was defeated, so cold-faced and cold-hearted? The 'Erlement Brother' actually ascended to the throne of the Nine-Fifth Emperor to rule the world? There may be a hundred or a thousand truths, but in the final analysis it is just one. The emperor is always in the position of the master, planning the affairs of the master. But the eighth master is just He collected the hearts of the people on the side. Those powerful people were submissive to the Eighth Master, which made him a little arrogant, thinking that they could be used to seize the legitimate heir. But at the critical moment, none of these people were of use. Even the Fourteenth Master With a hundred thousand troops and power outside, and an edict issued, I had no choice but to go to the capital. Third Master, no matter what, we cannot suffer this loss again."
"That's right. The successful is a prince and the defeated is a thief. Hongshi dares to forget the past?" Hongshi gritted his teeth and smiled sinisterly, stood up and shouted: "Come here!"
Several girls and old ladies came in in response, and Hongshi couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that he was so forgetful that he thought he was in Yunsongxuan.Yin said: "Prepare a sedan chair for me to enter the garden. Tell the accountant that I gave Master Kuang the set of three entrances to the courtyard at West Street Entrance and asked twenty family members to go over and wait on him." After that, he went out to lift the sedan chair and left.
It was the middle of the day, and the slightly westerly sun was scorching the earth. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and even the dogs were so hot that they fluttered on their legs and stuck out their tongues. The doors of every house were wide open, and men were shirtless. Women only wear undershirts and take a shower or fan themselves and sing tea to cool off.Occasionally, a few naked children, all tanned, would fish and have water fights under the willows in the pond.As soon as Hongshi entered the sedan chair, he was forced to step out due to the heat. He changed into a bamboo silk sedan chair and then meandered out of the city.The situation was different as soon as we left the city. Although the wind was still hot, it lost the suffocating suffocation that hit us. The dense poplar trees on both sides of the post road made them roar even with the slightest wind. Occasionally, they came from Haizi. The wind blowing from the side carries moisture, giving people a slightly cool feeling.The closer we got to Changchun Garden, the more pleasant the wind blew among the green trees. By the time we got closer to the double gates, Hongshi was sweating profusely.Just as I was about to enter the garden, a trembling bell not far from the north came faintly through the layers of green maples and white poplars.Hongshi couldn't help but be startled. It was so hot these days that he actually forgot to come over to pay his respects to Prince Yi.Thinking about this, Hongshi stomped his feet gently in the sedan chair and said: "To turn around, let's go to Qingfan Temple first." The sedan bearers said "oh" in agreement. The sedan chair had been turned around, and after walking less than half a mile along the shady road, we had arrived at Qingfan Temple.Hongshi got off the sedan and was about to go in when he saw a middle-aged monk hurriedly coming out with a khaki bundle under his arm. He recognized it as the seal of the monk at the head of the temple, and stopped him:
"Bald donkey, where can the thieves go in such a hot weather?"
"Oh, it's Third Master Qiantai! Amitabha!" When Dharma Seal saw clearly that it was Hong, his face was full of smiles. He wiped the sweat from his bald head and came over to bow and salute. He grinned and said: "Good luck to you, good luck to you!" —But I haven’t been to the temple for a few days! I’m about to go to the North Jade Emperor Temple. Look at the day, it’s been half a month, and it’s not raining. The Thirteenth Master couldn’t sleep last night, and he passed on the king’s order, calling The great monks from all the monasteries in Beijing went to the Jade Emperor Temple to perform meritorious deeds and pray for rain. Abbot Xiukong went there. Seeing that the cassocks worn by Master Wuxin from the Dazhong Temple were better than ours, he sent me back specially to bring the cassocks donated by the Thirteenth Master. Take the one with the golden kapok. We have a prince and a prime minister living in this temple, so we can’t let them compete with each other.”
Hongshi was about to enter the mountain gate, but he stopped when he heard this and said with a smile: "You are still monks, fighting for wealth and wealth here, with greed, anger and ignorance. The Buddha did not want to be such a disciple - you have done such great merits and gained How much money do you need for incense and ritual rituals?" Fayin stretched out his palm and said, "It turned out that the Thirteenth Prince contributed 3000 taels on his own. Mr. Fang said that this was a state matter, and he could not inherit it, so he also cashed in 1000 taels." Mr. Zhang I don’t believe in Buddhism, so my wife and young lady each donated 5000 taels, for a total of [-] taels.”
"I will pay 5000 taels." Hongshi said, "You tell the great monk Wu Xin to just pray for rain sincerely. If the rain falls from the sky within three days, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to commend him and allocate another [-] taels of silver from the treasury. Do you listen?" After finishing raising his feet, he entered the mountain gate.Ever since Zhang Tingyu, Fang Bao and Yunxiang lived in Qingfan Temple one after another, ordinary pilgrims have long since been abandoned, and all the eunuchs and guards guarding the door are the eunuchs and guards of Prince Yi's palace.Seeing Hongshi stepping in, everyone bowed to greet him.Hongshi asked: "Is Master Thirteen sleeping now?"
A royal eunuch hurriedly said: "Our prince has been taking a nap for several days. His old man moved the Jingxin Jingshe. It turned out that the place was too close to the Dafei Hall, and the monks chanted sutras and talked loudly. They were upset - but they didn't want to I couldn't hear the sound of the sutra at all, so I moved to the west courtyard. I will take you with me!" He said and led the way.But instead of heading north from the original west corridor, as soon as you enter the mountain gate, you wander west.Just a stone's throw north from the corridor behind the corridor, you can see small courtyards facing east and west hidden deep in the lush forest. The courtyards are full of bamboos, with thick phoenix tails and dragons chirping. It is extremely quiet, with a white ground on the door. Four characters in black calligraphy and one stroke of color:
Pure Heart Abode
Hongshi said: "You go ahead, I will just go and see you myself."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The eunuch did not retreat, but said with an apologetic smile: "Zhang Xiangding's system means that no matter who comes to see Your Majesty, we have to have someone accompany him."
"Even me?" Hongshi said, half-smiling, "Go ahead! If Prime Minister Zhang has something to say, ask him to find me." After that, he raised the curtain and entered Yunxiang's room.The eunuch really didn't dare to follow him.
As soon as Hongshi entered the door, he smelled a strong aroma of medicine. It was too dark to see anything clearly from the bright place. After calming down, he saw Yunxiang half-dressed on the big pillow. It was a hot day. His abdomen was still covered with a thin blanket, but he was getting thinner and thinner, and his face and hands were so pale that there was no blood at all.A palace maid was kneeling on the ground holding a medicine bowl, while Hong Jiao leaned over and sat on the edge of the kang, feeding the medicine spoon by spoon.Seeing Hongshi come in, Hongjiao nodded for a while and whispered to Yunxiang who closed his eyes and said softly: "The third brother Hongshi is here to see you." Hongshi knelt down to say hello and said: "Thirteenth uncle, my nephew is here Please greet me!"
"Oh, Hongshi." Yunxiang reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Hongshi, and said feebly: "It's hard for you to come to see me in such a hot day. Come on...get up and sit down." Hongshi agreed and said steadily. He stood up steadily and sat on the wooden pole in front of the window, and said with an apologetic smile: "Following the letter from Chengde, the emperor will leave on the third day of June and return to Beijing on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month. I have been busy preparing for the reception these days, and there are some other details. I don't have time to come over to say hello to my uncle. Mr. Fang meets me occasionally, and Zhang Ting meets me every day. Please ask them to say hello to my nephew." Yunxiang seemed to take a slow breath, nodded, and said : "Fang Bao just told me about the emperor's return. You guys are going to be busy again. It's a pity that I... pity that I can't be of much help this time." After speaking, he coughed softly and closed his eyes again.
Hongshi looked at this uncle and was filled with emotion.Yunxiang had the most difficult experience among the 23 Yongzheng brothers. When he was an infant, his mother inexplicably left the palace to become a nun (see the third volume of my book "Emperor Kangxi"). He suffered all the bullying and humiliation from his brothers, and even the eunuchs with a little respect dared to punish him. Only Yongzheng's love and care could make him an adult.In the face of adversity, Yunxiang developed a stubborn temperament that refused to accept anything from the heavens or the earth, and made him a knight-errant to help those in danger and those in need. He became a famous "king of knights."Emperor Kangxi saw that he had an upright character and a smooth manner in dealing with people. He once praised him personally as "my horse is a thousand-mile horse, and he is a desperate thirteenth son."At that time, he had a heroic demeanor and strong conversation, and he was able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities and command as expected. On the day of Emperor Kangxi's command, he personally went to the Fengtai camp to kill the generals and seize power. Chen Bing was outside Changchun Garden, and Yongzheng was able to successfully ascend to the throne.Recalling the heroic demeanor of those days, but today there is a dying person, looking down at the bedside waiting for death, Hongshi couldn't help but secretly sighed, but smiled and said: "Uncle Thirteen, don't think so much. Rest in peace, what will you do after you recover?" Everything is calm. Hongjiao, I told you to invite Shenxian Jia to come and have a look. Didn’t you get it? "
"Third brother arrived just in time. Jia Shifang will be here in a moment." Hong Jiao said with a smile, "I asked you earlier, but Fang Bao and Zhang Tingyu stopped me, saying that it was an evil heretic. Later, they probably heard that Jia Shenxian had more people, so they stopped stopping Well, Jia Shenxian has traveled out of Beijing again. I asked around and found out that he returned to Baiyun Temple the day before yesterday. After asking twice, I agreed to come and see this afternoon." Just as he was talking, Yunxiang suddenly closed his eyes and whispered: " It's coming, it's coming...you can't judge a person by his appearance, it's true and true!"
Hong Jiaohong was startled. He looked around and there was no movement. However, he saw green trees outside the window and a gloomy air inside. The two of them felt their hairs startled in a short time.While he was doing nothing, a male duck's voice came in from outside the courtyard, "God, please go this way." Then the curtains clicked, and Jia Shifang had already entered the room.Hong Jiao hurriedly went up to greet you and said with a smile: "Are you Master Jia? Come on, please come on."
Jia Shifang seems to always be in just one outfit.He was wearing soap clothes, soap boots, and a Leiyang scarf that looked a little bigger, even covering his forehead. Guguai's face was shiny, as if he had just been washed with water, so white that there was no blood, but there was no sweat at all.He stood at the door and glanced at the three people, and said with a smile: "I just had a meeting with the Thirteenth Master. This is the Third Master, and this is the Seventh Master, right?"
"Yes, each house in the clan has different names, and some of them rank me as the sixth." Hong Jiao looked at Jia Shifang in surprise and said, "This is the third master." At this time, Yunxiang's eyes were bright and he could not take his eyes away. He stared at this strange man without saying a word.
Jia Shifang bowed to Yunxiang, walked to the couch, leaned over and whispered softly: "Thirteenth Master, I'm sorry! Your illness has nothing to do with it. You're getting better now, right?"
"Yes, I feel less dizzy and my eyes seem to be clearer."
"It doesn't 'seem', in fact, my mind is clear and my eyesight is naturally bright. Thirteenth Master, you have a bad stomach and a bad diet! Do you want to eat something, such as osmanthus cake?"
"Osmanthus cake?" Yunxiang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "Really, why didn't I think of it? I'm really hungry and want to eat it!" Hong Jiao was already stunned. In the past three days, my father had barely had two small bowls of japonica rice porridge!After waking up, he repeatedly ordered people to "bring the sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"
Jia Shifang watched with a smile as Yunxiang finished two pieces of osmanthus cake. He poured a glass of water from the silver vase and handed it over. Yunxiang took it and drank it all in one go. He took a breath and said with a smile, "Mr. I haven’t had such a hearty meal in two years. Thank you. No matter how much trouble you made, I didn’t see you using energy to promote qi or burning talismans to ward off evil spirits!” There are 36 volumes in total. However, those who study "Dong Zhen Jing" only know the technique of "Shang Lian", those who study "Dong Ben Jing" only know the "massage" method, and those who study "Dong Shen Jing" only have a brief understanding of the "Huang Ting" method. . How can all methods lead to the secluded world in one structure?" Jia Shifang said slowly, "Those who pretend to be mysterious and pretend to be gods and ghosts are originally the activities of the inferior Taoists, and the Thirteenth Master asked them to coax them! - Do you want to get up and move?"
"Of course I do."
"Can it be done?" "I'm afraid not."
"You can do it." Jia Shifang said with a smile, "Everyone can walk, but the Thirteenth Master lived a heroic life, but he can't? Get up, go to the ground by yourself, put on your shoes and walk a few steps to see."
Yunxiang listened to his words, which seemed to come from far away, and seemed to be whispered clearly. There was a slight rattling in the five internal organs, as if a hot air was pushing and shaking the meridians that had been stagnant for a long time.The thought "why not give it a try" just flashed across my mind, and I could not help but push up my pillow and stand on the ground in a daze!
"I'm up!" He exclaimed in surprise, and the discomfort all over his body disappeared in an instant. He tried to walk a few steps, but his steps were steady. He raised his arms and shouted happily: "I can leave! Hahahaha ..." He stretched out his legs, swung his arms and rushed out the door.
All the eunuchs and maids in Jingxin Jingshe were shocked. If it weren't for the fact that he was alive and well in front of them, they wouldn't have believed that Yunxiang's illness could be cured so quickly even if a god descended to earth!Hong Jiao stared at Jia Shifang, who had no self-respect, with a pious gaze that was almost admiring. He knelt down on the ground with a long thump and kowtowed three times, saying: "Living god! You saved my Ama's life. I Let me build you a temple that will be better than the Baiyun Temple!"
"It's not about saving lives, it's about treating illnesses." Jia Shifang looked at Yunxiang who was happily taking a walk outside the hospital with a faint look, and said with a smile, "Everyone's life is determined by its own fate, and it cannot be changed unless it is great good or great evil. The Thirteenth Master's fate cannot be changed Sure enough, serious illness will naturally arise." Hongshi looked at all this and was so surprised that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said: "Huang Ama is also ill, and I want to recommend an immortal to come in and treat him!"
While he was talking, Yunxiang had come back and said, "I'm sweating so much!" and took off his outer clothes.Hong Jiao was about to stop him, but just said, "Look, it's windy."Jia Shifang said: "It doesn't matter. How can you be so unreasonable? Just now, the layman made a wish to build a Taoist temple for me. I will travel around the world to save things and help people, but it is of no use. Now I live in Baiyun Temple. It's just inconvenient to be a guest. Please let me know. Master Zhang over there has kept my seal script in his temple, which is enough to show his great love." "What's so difficult about this? I'll just use the seal when I get back and ask the Shuntian Prefecture to handle it." Hongshi said with a smile, "If it hadn't been for Master Zhang, I would have done it a long time ago. After the imperial edict, it is natural for you to preside over Baiyun Temple!"
"Taoist Priest, can you just stay here?" Yunxiang sat in the chair opposite the kang, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Life and death, flesh and bones, this is a great ability, a great skill. According to Xiao Wang, any great Those who have abilities that are beyond the reach of others will be jealous of mediocrity and will be of no benefit to you outside. I would like to learn from the Taoist Master some ways of breathing out life and death. The emperor's dragon body has been in poor health for a long time, so I can take care of it at any time." Jia Shifang said casually. Sitting opposite Yunxiang, he smiled and said: "Everything depends on fate. If the emperor's illness should be cured by Pindao, he would naturally call Pindao to cure it. Just like you, the prince, if you don't believe me at all, here I am. There is nothing we can do. Please pay attention to Master Thirteen. People who are poor and idle do not want to be bound by any rules." He stood up and said to Hong Jiao: "You can still take the medicine that the prince took. It doesn't matter if you don't take it. Be more casual, move around if you want, eat something if you want. Do not do this, do not do that, the common doctors in the world often use this to show off their knowledge and mislead people's lives - I say goodbye, there are many patients waiting eagerly in the temple!"
One word reminded Hongshi that there were many important things waiting for him to do in the garden, so he stood up and resigned, and Hongjiao walked them out of the door before going back.Hongshi took out his gold watch and looked at it, then said to Jia Shifang: "Prince Yi will definitely give you a big gift to thank you later. I have nothing to give. This watch is a rare thing. I will donate it to you, okay?" Jia Shifang smiled and said, He said: "I am the laziest person in the world. My appearance is useful to you, but it is of no use to me. I know that the third master wants me to excuse myself. I can tell you the truth. The fate of kings and princes depends on heaven. It is not something that earthly magicians can predict. However, if you respect God and keep your destiny, you will always do what is auspicious. Most of the things you have to overcome are due to self-restraint. Even if you have the destiny, you cannot rely on it. At the moment when the prince is burning, he will lead the trend due to the time. , Qixiang is at ease." After saying that, he drifted away.Hongshi heard these words without any meaning, he just smiled and immediately left in the sedan chair.As soon as Hongshi arrived at the gate of the garden, he saw Hongyan, the minister of Guanglu Temple, standing at the double gate looking around. He was the eldest son of Kangxi's eldest son Daqian Suiyun. He was the eldest brother of the Hong generation. He was already 45-[-] years old.When Yun was banned from fighting, he was training with Bahai in Heilongjiang. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, he served in Yue Zhongqi's army. When Nian Gengyao was exposed, he happened to be in Jiangxi to collect grain. He was so cautious that he laughed at everyone and never left. Talking about others behind their backs.With these benefits and the fact that he was not involved in several incidents, not only did his father's affairs not affect him, but his rank was somewhat promoted.Hongshi got off the sedan and walked into the garden in high spirits, saying hello: "Brother! Who are you waiting for here?"
"It's the third brother!" Hongyan trotted over, his chubby flesh trembling with each step. He came to him and said with a smile, "You are the head of the family. If the elder brother doesn't look for you, who will he look for?" Hong Shi looked at the people coming in and out from left and right. Too much, he smiled and said: "Brother, let's go and talk slowly inside."
So the two brothers went in hand in hand. Along the way to Luhua Tower, there were many officials at Zhang Tingyu's place. There were also eunuchs who were working in various places in the garden. When they saw them coming, they all stepped aside to say hello and pretentiously. There are all kinds of characters who are dignified and polite.It wasn't until he entered Yunsongxuan that Hongyan felt at ease.Seeing several officials kneeling in the outer room waiting to see him, Hongyan sat down and smiled: "I just came from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The two houses in Zongxue are dilapidated. Fortunately, there was less rain this year, so they would have collapsed sooner." It needs 5000 taels of silver for repairs. There are also more than 1 taels of tuition for our junior brothers in the second half of the year. The three princesses of the Yun family, Prince Ping, Prince Ying, and General Yun, the commander of chariots and cavalry, are getting married, and the two of them are getting [-] taels. Yes, one with two thousand..."
"I can't remember how long my elder brother is." Hong Shi said with a smile, "You just want some money, just tell me the number." "After all, my brother is now the regent!" Hongyan said with a smile, "You have a lot of energy and demeanor in your hand. They are all outstanding. I just walked with you and thought: This time is also considered a fake and a tiger's show of strength! - I want fifty-seven thousand taels." Hongshi couldn't help but smile, pulled out a piece of paper and wrote a few lines on it. He handed it to Hong Yan and said: "It's busy here, so it's worth leaving my brother to sit more. In the final analysis, we are one master. Remember, this is it. It's not about whether it's a tiger or a fox - is there anything else?" "
Hongyan took the note and was about to leave, then stopped and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs reported yesterday that my second uncle's illness may be bad! I only ate a bowl of gruel yesterday, and I haven't even eaten any water or rice today." . The guards at the Ministry of Internal Affairs persuaded me, and I drank half a bowl of ginseng soup at noon. The Taiyuan Hospital was guarded at this moment, and the second uncle was already unconscious and unconscious. He just kept saying that he wanted to see the emperor before heading west. - You see , The Emperor is not in Beijing right now, so what should I do?"
"I know what you mean." Hongshi frowned, "There is also your father, who is locked up in the second uncle's courtyard. Now he is getting more and more crazy and can't even recognize him. You want to see him, don't you? "
"No, no, no!" Hong Yan staggered back in horror, shaking his hands and saying, "My father is a rebellious minister and a traitor, and I am a loyal and good man of the country. Within the three cardinal principles, the monarch and his ministers are the first to be righteous. How could I think of him!" Hong Shi! Said: "It's not a sin just to think about it. Is it worth being scared like this? It's really lively nowadays. Aqina has symptoms of retching, Seth Hei has a stomachache in Baoding, Yun is dizzy and can't stand on his own in Zhangjiakou, and Uncle Thirteen He coughed up blood with Li Wei, Tian Wenjing had liver disease, the eldest uncle was crazy, the second uncle was critically ill..." He laughed before he finished speaking, "If you think about it carefully, it turns out that all diseases are caused by exhaustion. Even the emperor-" He wanted to say Yongzheng's illness was also exhausting, so he changed his words to "I am also worried about this."
Hongshi stood up and took a few steps, the smile on his face gone. "Brother, go back first. Where the second uncle and eldest uncle are, I will instruct the Taiyuan Hospital and send the best doctor to check the pulse. Xian'an Palace will go to Si The imperial palace is an important place. The Imperial Household and the Zongren Mansion are under the direct control of the imperial court, and are also controlled by your vassal academy. Tell them, just as I say, the eunuchs in both places must be replaced. The imperial court is still in trouble now, and they are dying. It's best not to get involved, man." Hong Yan said with heart. Yun was a prince who had been the prince for 40 years. Now he is critically ill. Hongli also wanted to visit him when he was in trouble. He went with him. Maybe he would have a chance to visit his father. .Unexpectedly, this third master was very polite to me and didn't even mention this matter. He felt cold and stood up to leave after chatting with him.
"Go away, big brother. If you need anything, just come to me!" Hongshi watched him leave the Yunsongxuan living room and said to the eunuch beside him: "When I came in, I saw the nine-door admiral Tu Lichen waiting outside. Please invite him in." Then. The eunuch agreed and went out for a while, then came back and reported: "Your Majesty, Tujunmen saw the uncle coming in to talk. He went to see Zhang Zhongtang first and said he would come back later." Hongshi felt unhappy for a moment, thought about it for a moment, and said with a smile. : "Then let's call Shuntian Mansion Yin Tang Jingwu in first."
"Tang Jingwu came in." He came in at the same time as Li Wencheng, the director of the memorial office in the upper study. Li Wencheng held a thick stack of unsealed memorials and gently placed them on the file, and then saluted Qian'er. He said: "Your Majesty, I have just come from Fenghua Tower. Zhang Zhongtang has read these excerpts. Mr. Fang summarized them and sent them to the emperor in a hurry over the past few days. The ones circled above are important memorials, and they are all placed on top. It was not put in the catalogue, Zhang Zhongtang specially asked the prince to pay attention to the booklet of Hu Shili in Baoding."
"Lao Tang, please take a seat." Hongshi waved his hand for Tang Jingwu to sit down. He took a look at the catalog and saw that the first few were from Shandong, Shanxi and Zhili vassals, saying that "there has been no rain for a long time, and autumn blessings can be considered" and asked the court for permission. , prepared early for the allocation of disaster relief food, and the rest were almost all about discussing the dispute between Tianli and Li.When it was approved by the Military Aircraft Department and handed over to the Sixth Department, it was clearly written in the approval document that "Those who are sincere about the king's affairs will have their own public opinion, and the trend of party support and private alliance must not be allowed to last."But judging from the title of the memorial, there are still less than half of the memorials about Zuo Tian and You Li.Hongshi glanced at it briefly and put down the case. Seeing Li Wencheng about to leave, he stopped him and said, "Yue Zhongqi's army wants two thousand cowhide tents. Has the Military Aircraft Department approved the film? It's not in the catalog. Tell Zhang Prime Minister, I'll go over if I see someone." Li Wencheng hurriedly bowed and replied: "That's a secret book at Yuejun Gate. The emperor approved it and forwarded it to the Military Aircraft Department. Zhang Zhongtang has already dealt with it. The original card was returned to the emperor, so it's not on the catalog. Returning to the prince again, the deposed prince Yun is critically ill. Prince Caibao just made an appointment with Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Fang to visit him, and now he is afraid of walking on the road! "
Hongshi's heart paused, and he suddenly felt jealous and neglected. He paused for a moment, waved his hand and said: "You go ahead." Seeing Tulichen lame slightly, his spurs jingling on the floor, he walked in proudly. , Hongshi waved his hand indifferently and said: "No need to salute. I sent someone to call you just now, Lao Tang is here too, let's talk."
Tang Jingwu coughed and was about to speak, but Tu Lichen said first: "Let me say it first. The weather has already entered the summer heat, and the cold medicine commonly used in our army has not been distributed yet; and there are also summer clothes, which will rot if they cannot withstand the autumn cool. I Go down and take a look, the sergeants are all cursing. Dysentery is spreading in some camps, and they are all over it, and they can't even practice. Please third master, please allocate some mung beans, licorice, two flowers, yellow cypress and coptis as soon as possible. This can't be delayed at all." Tang Tang Jingwu smiled and said, "We are talking about the same thing. Soldiers stationed at Dehua Gate and people from Fengtai Camp fought in front of Tongjun's store in Dehua to buy medicine. One store was smashed to pieces, and the store owner sued The murderer can't be caught at my place. I'd like to ask Third Master and Tu Junmen and Zhang Yujunmen for instructions on how to calm down this matter without harming the peace. The drugstore should also deal with it."
"I heard about this." Hongshi glanced at Tulichen. Somehow, he always felt that this arrogant guy looked down on him.However, Tuli Chen was originally a lone general who was dealing with Rakshasa in the Northeast. He captured Nuo Min when his power was at its peak, so he was the Manchu Hara Pearl most trusted by Yongzheng.He didn't dare to offend too much.Yin smiled again and said: "If the items are smashed in the shop, Shuntian Prefecture will compensate for it. General Tu, the leader of the trouble must be punished, so as to calm people's hearts. I'll go over to Zhang Yu and say, you can handle it yourself, and you have to wear a yoke to show it to the public!" "
In fact, Tu Lichen had no prejudice against Hongshi. He was naturally unsmiling, and with the long scar under his chin, anyone who looked at him would be a little disturbed.Hearing Hongshi say "shackles", Tulichen smiled coldly and said: "My people have been dealt with. The first three bowed their heads in front of the army. The remaining 14 people were shackles for three days. Mr. Tang can go and see." But the medicinal materials still have to be given, Third Master, you can’t make this mistake.”
"I'll call Hube Xinghuo to take care of it after a while." Hongshi said, "I want to ask you for another errand. The detention of Aqina Seth Hei and Yun, whether in Beijing or outside, is under your control." . They committed crimes and ransacked their homes, and they all had their family members and a large group of servants waiting on them. It was too comfortable to guard the sentence like this. These family members include He Zhuer, Gong Puqi, Yaqibu, Weng Niuxing, and Wu Dali. , Mao Taitong Bao, not only is he at large, but he is also fabricating rumors everywhere, gossiping about the secrets of the palace, and slandering the Holy Ancestor today. If they are not held accountable for the crime of helping Zhou to bully others, based on their current crimes, they will never be able to let the capital go unpunished and do evil again!"
Hongshi called the names of many people one after another. Some were criminal officials who had been dismissed from Yunsu's family, and some were eunuchs' slaves in Yunfu.When the master lost power and was imprisoned, the slaves were dissatisfied and started gossiping. This has always happened. Shan Yunshu's two thousand family members ransacked their homes and took away less than a thousand for questioning. There were still more than a thousand people who accused the master everywhere. There are those who are poor in borrowing money, those who go to various yamen with whom they are familiar to help their sidemen in lawsuits, and those who drink wine and criticize others in the streets of wine shops... all kinds of illegal things are involved.When Hongshi Qi Gener was slumped and thrown out of the capital, both Tu Lichen and Tang Jingwu felt relieved.Tang Jingwu first applauded and said, "Third Master, this is the best! These bastards are deliberately looking for trouble. Sometimes they are so angry that they choke. They look like broken pots, just like a bunch of boiled pots that cannot be chopped." Uncooked hob meat! Send it far away. Not only will our ears be clean, but Ba-Aqina and the others will also be less burdened by these pickled and slaughtered talents!" Tulichen was careful and asked: " The third master is doing this, have you asked for a decree? It turns out that the fourth master is presiding here and has something to say: All matters related to Aqina Seth Hei and a few others, no matter how big or small, must ask for a decree."
"This is to deal with their slaves!" Hongshi said with a dull face, "I didn't touch a hair of theirs! This matter will be done tomorrow morning. I will write a warrant for you. If anything happens, it will be mine. .”
When he heard that there was no order, Tulichen murmured a little. He drove all the people around Yunhu out of the capital and exiled them to other counties. This was a big solution for thousands of people. He did it without asking for an order. This third master is really a bold person. Son!He thought about it and asked: "I wonder when Yu Jia will return to Beijing? Don't get me wrong, Third Master. I actually agree with your approach in my heart. But the matter is not small, so you should still ask for an order."
"I don't know when the emperor will come back." Hongshi said coldly, "You are the admiral of the Nine Sects and have the right to directly report. If you want to ask for an order, I can't stop you." As he said this, he went to get Hu Shili's book.
Tu Lichen and Tang Jingwu felt bored and said goodbye.Beside the rockery in front of Yunsongxuan, the two of them stopped at the same time. Tu Lichen said: "He is responsible for it, let's do it for him!"
Hongshi's eyes in the hall also jumped at this moment.It turned out that Hu Shili's memorial only said one thing. Li Fu, the governor of Zhili, hosted a banquet for himself on May 23. After the banquet, he said, "Yun Zhen's crime cannot be punished, and we, as ministers, cannot cause trouble to the emperor." Brother is in charge of this matter and can do it easily."
"He wants to kill Seth Hei, but he doesn't want to get blood," Hongshi smiled coldly, "How smart! Don't you know that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!"
(End of this chapter)
On the first day when Yongzheng's edict to return to Beijing arrived in Beijing, Hongshi had already received a notice from the eunuch Qin Gouer, which detailed the dialogue between Yongzheng, Ertai and Zhu Shi in the Rehe Garden.He immediately called Master Kuang to come to "Guyuxuan" in the West Flower Hall to discuss the matter.Kuang Qingxing was writing replies to foreign officials from various places while he was sorting things out with several masters in the back study.Hearing the call, he put down his pen and hurried over. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Third Master, did you call me?"
“It’s so hot that my front and back are soaked with sweat.” Hongshi personally brought a plate of ice-cold watermelon, “Here, eat some to relieve your anger—here, that’s Qin Gouer’s letter, read it first. "After saying that, he tilted his bamboo chair and swung his sunflower fan, closed his eyes and meditated.
Kuang Qingxing took the pages of tissue paper and read them over and over again.He said nothing, but walked outside Guyuxuan and stood under the eaves. He stared dizzy at the swaying willows by the pond. Waves of smoky wind blew in his face with a scorching heat wave. There were countless cicadas on the trees. There was a high-pitched chirping sound, but it seemed that you didn't even notice it or hear it.After a long time, he turned back and came in, smiling at Hongshi in the shadow: "Third Master rewarded Qin Gou'er with 300 taels of silver, and he still feels distressed when he comes back! Just this letter, where can you buy it for [-] taels of silver?"
"It's not that I feel bad." Hong Shi also smiled and said, "The emperor's palace rules are strict. Eunuchs who make friends with the king and ministers will be killed without mercy. I'm afraid it will be self-defeating! The fourth brother doesn't have these skills, isn't he still well-informed?" Kuang Qingxing shook his head and said: "You He is different from the fourth master. His mother is a noble concubine, and the queen mother is always around. In the 51st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the holy ancestor asked the fourth master to study with him in the palace. He stayed there for a long time and presided over Yunsong for many years. Xuan Zhengwu, there are so many people who are fawning over him, and he can reveal the news with just a few words when we meet, so why do we need to spend money to buy the news?"
Hongshi felt sour in his heart when he heard this.I don't know how many fortune tellers he has invited in his secret place to recommend and create fortunes for himself, and they are all of extremely noble character.I often look in the mirror and read photo books countless times, and I feel that no matter in terms of intelligence, experience, willpower or appearance, I am not inferior to Hongli.Why did his father love him so much?While he was thinking wildly, Kuang Qingxing said again: "Qin Gou'er reported this news, and it may not be the effect of the money. When the fourth master went out, you took charge of the center and took over the situation. This is the real reason! He is an errand in the palace. , to give foreign officials a little convenience, I have a lot of money, and I will never be currying favor with you with 300 taels of silver."
"Li Fu is going to be in bad luck." Hongshi fanned leisurely, "And the eighth uncle, the ninth uncle, and the tenth uncle - this is really sad - they were not originally from the same group. Li Fu is a writer. He is ten times better than Tian Wenjing in terms of quality. It’s such a pity.” “The real unlucky one is the Eighth Master.” Kuang Qingxing’s eyes shone brightly, “The emperor is actually most afraid of cronies. When the Eighth Master has not lost power, All over the civil and military circles of the imperial court, there are scholars who are well-known in the literary field. Although the leading figures have been imprisoned, the 'party' is still there. Third Master, the chaos of the 'eight kings' discussion' was going on in the Palace of Qianqing. I wonder if you Didn't he pay attention? From the beginning to the end, no one openly faced Prince Lian. At the beginning, he used Tian Wenjing to do it! It can be seen that Tian Wenjing is already a cannon, and he will bear the brunt of attacks on the New Deal. So, who is protecting the Holy Lord? When he attacked Tian Wenjing, he immediately suspected that he was targeting the New Deal and himself. The more he attacked, the more he defended, and the more he defended, the more he attacked. Those who watched the excitement and practiced Taipingquan, and those who stood on the dry bank to watch the river rise were originally following Ba Ye as pawns. Now he is laughing at the joke again, and even writes a post later to spread rumors. With the emperor's temperament, he will give him three legs even if he sees nothing. How can he tolerate so many ministers who are alienated from him? This is how his illness becomes more serious. of!"
Hongshi had already opened his eyes, sat up straight, and even forgot to fan, saying: "It can be said that you can see fire with insight! How should I deal with it?" Kuang Qingxing smiled and said decisively: "Two words: beat the tiger to death. Never show mercy; sit down and work hard at Yunsongxuan. To rectify the Eighth Master Party is in line with the emperor's resentment, and working hard is in line with the emperor's desire for governance. As for the fourth and fifth masters, treat them with courtesy, respect, sincerity, and love. , be on guard - they are all his sons, let him see for himself who is more filial and capable!" Hongshi was stunned for half a day, and said: "I think the emperor's intention is more than that. Supervisor Hongli With all the money and food in the world and the errands of the Ministry of War, he might be interested in asking him to lead the troops to fight against Arabtan!"
"I thought of that too."
Kuang Qingxing said gloomily: "Since the student entered the Third Master's sect, he has been thinking about the struggle for the throne between the Eighth Prince and the Emperor. Why did the Eighth Prince, who had all the power in the world, be so popular and popular, but was defeated, so cold-faced and cold-hearted? The 'Erlement Brother' actually ascended to the throne of the Nine-Fifth Emperor to rule the world? There may be a hundred or a thousand truths, but in the final analysis it is just one. The emperor is always in the position of the master, planning the affairs of the master. But the eighth master is just He collected the hearts of the people on the side. Those powerful people were submissive to the Eighth Master, which made him a little arrogant, thinking that they could be used to seize the legitimate heir. But at the critical moment, none of these people were of use. Even the Fourteenth Master With a hundred thousand troops and power outside, and an edict issued, I had no choice but to go to the capital. Third Master, no matter what, we cannot suffer this loss again."
"That's right. The successful is a prince and the defeated is a thief. Hongshi dares to forget the past?" Hongshi gritted his teeth and smiled sinisterly, stood up and shouted: "Come here!"
Several girls and old ladies came in in response, and Hongshi couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that he was so forgetful that he thought he was in Yunsongxuan.Yin said: "Prepare a sedan chair for me to enter the garden. Tell the accountant that I gave Master Kuang the set of three entrances to the courtyard at West Street Entrance and asked twenty family members to go over and wait on him." After that, he went out to lift the sedan chair and left.
It was the middle of the day, and the slightly westerly sun was scorching the earth. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and even the dogs were so hot that they fluttered on their legs and stuck out their tongues. The doors of every house were wide open, and men were shirtless. Women only wear undershirts and take a shower or fan themselves and sing tea to cool off.Occasionally, a few naked children, all tanned, would fish and have water fights under the willows in the pond.As soon as Hongshi entered the sedan chair, he was forced to step out due to the heat. He changed into a bamboo silk sedan chair and then meandered out of the city.The situation was different as soon as we left the city. Although the wind was still hot, it lost the suffocating suffocation that hit us. The dense poplar trees on both sides of the post road made them roar even with the slightest wind. Occasionally, they came from Haizi. The wind blowing from the side carries moisture, giving people a slightly cool feeling.The closer we got to Changchun Garden, the more pleasant the wind blew among the green trees. By the time we got closer to the double gates, Hongshi was sweating profusely.Just as I was about to enter the garden, a trembling bell not far from the north came faintly through the layers of green maples and white poplars.Hongshi couldn't help but be startled. It was so hot these days that he actually forgot to come over to pay his respects to Prince Yi.Thinking about this, Hongshi stomped his feet gently in the sedan chair and said: "To turn around, let's go to Qingfan Temple first." The sedan bearers said "oh" in agreement. The sedan chair had been turned around, and after walking less than half a mile along the shady road, we had arrived at Qingfan Temple.Hongshi got off the sedan and was about to go in when he saw a middle-aged monk hurriedly coming out with a khaki bundle under his arm. He recognized it as the seal of the monk at the head of the temple, and stopped him:
"Bald donkey, where can the thieves go in such a hot weather?"
"Oh, it's Third Master Qiantai! Amitabha!" When Dharma Seal saw clearly that it was Hong, his face was full of smiles. He wiped the sweat from his bald head and came over to bow and salute. He grinned and said: "Good luck to you, good luck to you!" —But I haven’t been to the temple for a few days! I’m about to go to the North Jade Emperor Temple. Look at the day, it’s been half a month, and it’s not raining. The Thirteenth Master couldn’t sleep last night, and he passed on the king’s order, calling The great monks from all the monasteries in Beijing went to the Jade Emperor Temple to perform meritorious deeds and pray for rain. Abbot Xiukong went there. Seeing that the cassocks worn by Master Wuxin from the Dazhong Temple were better than ours, he sent me back specially to bring the cassocks donated by the Thirteenth Master. Take the one with the golden kapok. We have a prince and a prime minister living in this temple, so we can’t let them compete with each other.”
Hongshi was about to enter the mountain gate, but he stopped when he heard this and said with a smile: "You are still monks, fighting for wealth and wealth here, with greed, anger and ignorance. The Buddha did not want to be such a disciple - you have done such great merits and gained How much money do you need for incense and ritual rituals?" Fayin stretched out his palm and said, "It turned out that the Thirteenth Prince contributed 3000 taels on his own. Mr. Fang said that this was a state matter, and he could not inherit it, so he also cashed in 1000 taels." Mr. Zhang I don’t believe in Buddhism, so my wife and young lady each donated 5000 taels, for a total of [-] taels.”
"I will pay 5000 taels." Hongshi said, "You tell the great monk Wu Xin to just pray for rain sincerely. If the rain falls from the sky within three days, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to commend him and allocate another [-] taels of silver from the treasury. Do you listen?" After finishing raising his feet, he entered the mountain gate.Ever since Zhang Tingyu, Fang Bao and Yunxiang lived in Qingfan Temple one after another, ordinary pilgrims have long since been abandoned, and all the eunuchs and guards guarding the door are the eunuchs and guards of Prince Yi's palace.Seeing Hongshi stepping in, everyone bowed to greet him.Hongshi asked: "Is Master Thirteen sleeping now?"
A royal eunuch hurriedly said: "Our prince has been taking a nap for several days. His old man moved the Jingxin Jingshe. It turned out that the place was too close to the Dafei Hall, and the monks chanted sutras and talked loudly. They were upset - but they didn't want to I couldn't hear the sound of the sutra at all, so I moved to the west courtyard. I will take you with me!" He said and led the way.But instead of heading north from the original west corridor, as soon as you enter the mountain gate, you wander west.Just a stone's throw north from the corridor behind the corridor, you can see small courtyards facing east and west hidden deep in the lush forest. The courtyards are full of bamboos, with thick phoenix tails and dragons chirping. It is extremely quiet, with a white ground on the door. Four characters in black calligraphy and one stroke of color:
Pure Heart Abode
Hongshi said: "You go ahead, I will just go and see you myself."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The eunuch did not retreat, but said with an apologetic smile: "Zhang Xiangding's system means that no matter who comes to see Your Majesty, we have to have someone accompany him."
"Even me?" Hongshi said, half-smiling, "Go ahead! If Prime Minister Zhang has something to say, ask him to find me." After that, he raised the curtain and entered Yunxiang's room.The eunuch really didn't dare to follow him.
As soon as Hongshi entered the door, he smelled a strong aroma of medicine. It was too dark to see anything clearly from the bright place. After calming down, he saw Yunxiang half-dressed on the big pillow. It was a hot day. His abdomen was still covered with a thin blanket, but he was getting thinner and thinner, and his face and hands were so pale that there was no blood at all.A palace maid was kneeling on the ground holding a medicine bowl, while Hong Jiao leaned over and sat on the edge of the kang, feeding the medicine spoon by spoon.Seeing Hongshi come in, Hongjiao nodded for a while and whispered to Yunxiang who closed his eyes and said softly: "The third brother Hongshi is here to see you." Hongshi knelt down to say hello and said: "Thirteenth uncle, my nephew is here Please greet me!"
"Oh, Hongshi." Yunxiang reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Hongshi, and said feebly: "It's hard for you to come to see me in such a hot day. Come on...get up and sit down." Hongshi agreed and said steadily. He stood up steadily and sat on the wooden pole in front of the window, and said with an apologetic smile: "Following the letter from Chengde, the emperor will leave on the third day of June and return to Beijing on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month. I have been busy preparing for the reception these days, and there are some other details. I don't have time to come over to say hello to my uncle. Mr. Fang meets me occasionally, and Zhang Ting meets me every day. Please ask them to say hello to my nephew." Yunxiang seemed to take a slow breath, nodded, and said : "Fang Bao just told me about the emperor's return. You guys are going to be busy again. It's a pity that I... pity that I can't be of much help this time." After speaking, he coughed softly and closed his eyes again.
Hongshi looked at this uncle and was filled with emotion.Yunxiang had the most difficult experience among the 23 Yongzheng brothers. When he was an infant, his mother inexplicably left the palace to become a nun (see the third volume of my book "Emperor Kangxi"). He suffered all the bullying and humiliation from his brothers, and even the eunuchs with a little respect dared to punish him. Only Yongzheng's love and care could make him an adult.In the face of adversity, Yunxiang developed a stubborn temperament that refused to accept anything from the heavens or the earth, and made him a knight-errant to help those in danger and those in need. He became a famous "king of knights."Emperor Kangxi saw that he had an upright character and a smooth manner in dealing with people. He once praised him personally as "my horse is a thousand-mile horse, and he is a desperate thirteenth son."At that time, he had a heroic demeanor and strong conversation, and he was able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities and command as expected. On the day of Emperor Kangxi's command, he personally went to the Fengtai camp to kill the generals and seize power. Chen Bing was outside Changchun Garden, and Yongzheng was able to successfully ascend to the throne.Recalling the heroic demeanor of those days, but today there is a dying person, looking down at the bedside waiting for death, Hongshi couldn't help but secretly sighed, but smiled and said: "Uncle Thirteen, don't think so much. Rest in peace, what will you do after you recover?" Everything is calm. Hongjiao, I told you to invite Shenxian Jia to come and have a look. Didn’t you get it? "
"Third brother arrived just in time. Jia Shifang will be here in a moment." Hong Jiao said with a smile, "I asked you earlier, but Fang Bao and Zhang Tingyu stopped me, saying that it was an evil heretic. Later, they probably heard that Jia Shenxian had more people, so they stopped stopping Well, Jia Shenxian has traveled out of Beijing again. I asked around and found out that he returned to Baiyun Temple the day before yesterday. After asking twice, I agreed to come and see this afternoon." Just as he was talking, Yunxiang suddenly closed his eyes and whispered: " It's coming, it's coming...you can't judge a person by his appearance, it's true and true!"
Hong Jiaohong was startled. He looked around and there was no movement. However, he saw green trees outside the window and a gloomy air inside. The two of them felt their hairs startled in a short time.While he was doing nothing, a male duck's voice came in from outside the courtyard, "God, please go this way." Then the curtains clicked, and Jia Shifang had already entered the room.Hong Jiao hurriedly went up to greet you and said with a smile: "Are you Master Jia? Come on, please come on."
Jia Shifang seems to always be in just one outfit.He was wearing soap clothes, soap boots, and a Leiyang scarf that looked a little bigger, even covering his forehead. Guguai's face was shiny, as if he had just been washed with water, so white that there was no blood, but there was no sweat at all.He stood at the door and glanced at the three people, and said with a smile: "I just had a meeting with the Thirteenth Master. This is the Third Master, and this is the Seventh Master, right?"
"Yes, each house in the clan has different names, and some of them rank me as the sixth." Hong Jiao looked at Jia Shifang in surprise and said, "This is the third master." At this time, Yunxiang's eyes were bright and he could not take his eyes away. He stared at this strange man without saying a word.
Jia Shifang bowed to Yunxiang, walked to the couch, leaned over and whispered softly: "Thirteenth Master, I'm sorry! Your illness has nothing to do with it. You're getting better now, right?"
"Yes, I feel less dizzy and my eyes seem to be clearer."
"It doesn't 'seem', in fact, my mind is clear and my eyesight is naturally bright. Thirteenth Master, you have a bad stomach and a bad diet! Do you want to eat something, such as osmanthus cake?"
"Osmanthus cake?" Yunxiang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "Really, why didn't I think of it? I'm really hungry and want to eat it!" Hong Jiao was already stunned. In the past three days, my father had barely had two small bowls of japonica rice porridge!After waking up, he repeatedly ordered people to "bring the sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"
Jia Shifang watched with a smile as Yunxiang finished two pieces of osmanthus cake. He poured a glass of water from the silver vase and handed it over. Yunxiang took it and drank it all in one go. He took a breath and said with a smile, "Mr. I haven’t had such a hearty meal in two years. Thank you. No matter how much trouble you made, I didn’t see you using energy to promote qi or burning talismans to ward off evil spirits!” There are 36 volumes in total. However, those who study "Dong Zhen Jing" only know the technique of "Shang Lian", those who study "Dong Ben Jing" only know the "massage" method, and those who study "Dong Shen Jing" only have a brief understanding of the "Huang Ting" method. . How can all methods lead to the secluded world in one structure?" Jia Shifang said slowly, "Those who pretend to be mysterious and pretend to be gods and ghosts are originally the activities of the inferior Taoists, and the Thirteenth Master asked them to coax them! - Do you want to get up and move?"
"Of course I do."
"Can it be done?" "I'm afraid not."
"You can do it." Jia Shifang said with a smile, "Everyone can walk, but the Thirteenth Master lived a heroic life, but he can't? Get up, go to the ground by yourself, put on your shoes and walk a few steps to see."
Yunxiang listened to his words, which seemed to come from far away, and seemed to be whispered clearly. There was a slight rattling in the five internal organs, as if a hot air was pushing and shaking the meridians that had been stagnant for a long time.The thought "why not give it a try" just flashed across my mind, and I could not help but push up my pillow and stand on the ground in a daze!
"I'm up!" He exclaimed in surprise, and the discomfort all over his body disappeared in an instant. He tried to walk a few steps, but his steps were steady. He raised his arms and shouted happily: "I can leave! Hahahaha ..." He stretched out his legs, swung his arms and rushed out the door.
All the eunuchs and maids in Jingxin Jingshe were shocked. If it weren't for the fact that he was alive and well in front of them, they wouldn't have believed that Yunxiang's illness could be cured so quickly even if a god descended to earth!Hong Jiao stared at Jia Shifang, who had no self-respect, with a pious gaze that was almost admiring. He knelt down on the ground with a long thump and kowtowed three times, saying: "Living god! You saved my Ama's life. I Let me build you a temple that will be better than the Baiyun Temple!"
"It's not about saving lives, it's about treating illnesses." Jia Shifang looked at Yunxiang who was happily taking a walk outside the hospital with a faint look, and said with a smile, "Everyone's life is determined by its own fate, and it cannot be changed unless it is great good or great evil. The Thirteenth Master's fate cannot be changed Sure enough, serious illness will naturally arise." Hongshi looked at all this and was so surprised that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said: "Huang Ama is also ill, and I want to recommend an immortal to come in and treat him!"
While he was talking, Yunxiang had come back and said, "I'm sweating so much!" and took off his outer clothes.Hong Jiao was about to stop him, but just said, "Look, it's windy."Jia Shifang said: "It doesn't matter. How can you be so unreasonable? Just now, the layman made a wish to build a Taoist temple for me. I will travel around the world to save things and help people, but it is of no use. Now I live in Baiyun Temple. It's just inconvenient to be a guest. Please let me know. Master Zhang over there has kept my seal script in his temple, which is enough to show his great love." "What's so difficult about this? I'll just use the seal when I get back and ask the Shuntian Prefecture to handle it." Hongshi said with a smile, "If it hadn't been for Master Zhang, I would have done it a long time ago. After the imperial edict, it is natural for you to preside over Baiyun Temple!"
"Taoist Priest, can you just stay here?" Yunxiang sat in the chair opposite the kang, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Life and death, flesh and bones, this is a great ability, a great skill. According to Xiao Wang, any great Those who have abilities that are beyond the reach of others will be jealous of mediocrity and will be of no benefit to you outside. I would like to learn from the Taoist Master some ways of breathing out life and death. The emperor's dragon body has been in poor health for a long time, so I can take care of it at any time." Jia Shifang said casually. Sitting opposite Yunxiang, he smiled and said: "Everything depends on fate. If the emperor's illness should be cured by Pindao, he would naturally call Pindao to cure it. Just like you, the prince, if you don't believe me at all, here I am. There is nothing we can do. Please pay attention to Master Thirteen. People who are poor and idle do not want to be bound by any rules." He stood up and said to Hong Jiao: "You can still take the medicine that the prince took. It doesn't matter if you don't take it. Be more casual, move around if you want, eat something if you want. Do not do this, do not do that, the common doctors in the world often use this to show off their knowledge and mislead people's lives - I say goodbye, there are many patients waiting eagerly in the temple!"
One word reminded Hongshi that there were many important things waiting for him to do in the garden, so he stood up and resigned, and Hongjiao walked them out of the door before going back.Hongshi took out his gold watch and looked at it, then said to Jia Shifang: "Prince Yi will definitely give you a big gift to thank you later. I have nothing to give. This watch is a rare thing. I will donate it to you, okay?" Jia Shifang smiled and said, He said: "I am the laziest person in the world. My appearance is useful to you, but it is of no use to me. I know that the third master wants me to excuse myself. I can tell you the truth. The fate of kings and princes depends on heaven. It is not something that earthly magicians can predict. However, if you respect God and keep your destiny, you will always do what is auspicious. Most of the things you have to overcome are due to self-restraint. Even if you have the destiny, you cannot rely on it. At the moment when the prince is burning, he will lead the trend due to the time. , Qixiang is at ease." After saying that, he drifted away.Hongshi heard these words without any meaning, he just smiled and immediately left in the sedan chair.As soon as Hongshi arrived at the gate of the garden, he saw Hongyan, the minister of Guanglu Temple, standing at the double gate looking around. He was the eldest son of Kangxi's eldest son Daqian Suiyun. He was the eldest brother of the Hong generation. He was already 45-[-] years old.When Yun was banned from fighting, he was training with Bahai in Heilongjiang. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, he served in Yue Zhongqi's army. When Nian Gengyao was exposed, he happened to be in Jiangxi to collect grain. He was so cautious that he laughed at everyone and never left. Talking about others behind their backs.With these benefits and the fact that he was not involved in several incidents, not only did his father's affairs not affect him, but his rank was somewhat promoted.Hongshi got off the sedan and walked into the garden in high spirits, saying hello: "Brother! Who are you waiting for here?"
"It's the third brother!" Hongyan trotted over, his chubby flesh trembling with each step. He came to him and said with a smile, "You are the head of the family. If the elder brother doesn't look for you, who will he look for?" Hong Shi looked at the people coming in and out from left and right. Too much, he smiled and said: "Brother, let's go and talk slowly inside."
So the two brothers went in hand in hand. Along the way to Luhua Tower, there were many officials at Zhang Tingyu's place. There were also eunuchs who were working in various places in the garden. When they saw them coming, they all stepped aside to say hello and pretentiously. There are all kinds of characters who are dignified and polite.It wasn't until he entered Yunsongxuan that Hongyan felt at ease.Seeing several officials kneeling in the outer room waiting to see him, Hongyan sat down and smiled: "I just came from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The two houses in Zongxue are dilapidated. Fortunately, there was less rain this year, so they would have collapsed sooner." It needs 5000 taels of silver for repairs. There are also more than 1 taels of tuition for our junior brothers in the second half of the year. The three princesses of the Yun family, Prince Ping, Prince Ying, and General Yun, the commander of chariots and cavalry, are getting married, and the two of them are getting [-] taels. Yes, one with two thousand..."
"I can't remember how long my elder brother is." Hong Shi said with a smile, "You just want some money, just tell me the number." "After all, my brother is now the regent!" Hongyan said with a smile, "You have a lot of energy and demeanor in your hand. They are all outstanding. I just walked with you and thought: This time is also considered a fake and a tiger's show of strength! - I want fifty-seven thousand taels." Hongshi couldn't help but smile, pulled out a piece of paper and wrote a few lines on it. He handed it to Hong Yan and said: "It's busy here, so it's worth leaving my brother to sit more. In the final analysis, we are one master. Remember, this is it. It's not about whether it's a tiger or a fox - is there anything else?" "
Hongyan took the note and was about to leave, then stopped and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs reported yesterday that my second uncle's illness may be bad! I only ate a bowl of gruel yesterday, and I haven't even eaten any water or rice today." . The guards at the Ministry of Internal Affairs persuaded me, and I drank half a bowl of ginseng soup at noon. The Taiyuan Hospital was guarded at this moment, and the second uncle was already unconscious and unconscious. He just kept saying that he wanted to see the emperor before heading west. - You see , The Emperor is not in Beijing right now, so what should I do?"
"I know what you mean." Hongshi frowned, "There is also your father, who is locked up in the second uncle's courtyard. Now he is getting more and more crazy and can't even recognize him. You want to see him, don't you? "
"No, no, no!" Hong Yan staggered back in horror, shaking his hands and saying, "My father is a rebellious minister and a traitor, and I am a loyal and good man of the country. Within the three cardinal principles, the monarch and his ministers are the first to be righteous. How could I think of him!" Hong Shi! Said: "It's not a sin just to think about it. Is it worth being scared like this? It's really lively nowadays. Aqina has symptoms of retching, Seth Hei has a stomachache in Baoding, Yun is dizzy and can't stand on his own in Zhangjiakou, and Uncle Thirteen He coughed up blood with Li Wei, Tian Wenjing had liver disease, the eldest uncle was crazy, the second uncle was critically ill..." He laughed before he finished speaking, "If you think about it carefully, it turns out that all diseases are caused by exhaustion. Even the emperor-" He wanted to say Yongzheng's illness was also exhausting, so he changed his words to "I am also worried about this."
Hongshi stood up and took a few steps, the smile on his face gone. "Brother, go back first. Where the second uncle and eldest uncle are, I will instruct the Taiyuan Hospital and send the best doctor to check the pulse. Xian'an Palace will go to Si The imperial palace is an important place. The Imperial Household and the Zongren Mansion are under the direct control of the imperial court, and are also controlled by your vassal academy. Tell them, just as I say, the eunuchs in both places must be replaced. The imperial court is still in trouble now, and they are dying. It's best not to get involved, man." Hong Yan said with heart. Yun was a prince who had been the prince for 40 years. Now he is critically ill. Hongli also wanted to visit him when he was in trouble. He went with him. Maybe he would have a chance to visit his father. .Unexpectedly, this third master was very polite to me and didn't even mention this matter. He felt cold and stood up to leave after chatting with him.
"Go away, big brother. If you need anything, just come to me!" Hongshi watched him leave the Yunsongxuan living room and said to the eunuch beside him: "When I came in, I saw the nine-door admiral Tu Lichen waiting outside. Please invite him in." Then. The eunuch agreed and went out for a while, then came back and reported: "Your Majesty, Tujunmen saw the uncle coming in to talk. He went to see Zhang Zhongtang first and said he would come back later." Hongshi felt unhappy for a moment, thought about it for a moment, and said with a smile. : "Then let's call Shuntian Mansion Yin Tang Jingwu in first."
"Tang Jingwu came in." He came in at the same time as Li Wencheng, the director of the memorial office in the upper study. Li Wencheng held a thick stack of unsealed memorials and gently placed them on the file, and then saluted Qian'er. He said: "Your Majesty, I have just come from Fenghua Tower. Zhang Zhongtang has read these excerpts. Mr. Fang summarized them and sent them to the emperor in a hurry over the past few days. The ones circled above are important memorials, and they are all placed on top. It was not put in the catalogue, Zhang Zhongtang specially asked the prince to pay attention to the booklet of Hu Shili in Baoding."
"Lao Tang, please take a seat." Hongshi waved his hand for Tang Jingwu to sit down. He took a look at the catalog and saw that the first few were from Shandong, Shanxi and Zhili vassals, saying that "there has been no rain for a long time, and autumn blessings can be considered" and asked the court for permission. , prepared early for the allocation of disaster relief food, and the rest were almost all about discussing the dispute between Tianli and Li.When it was approved by the Military Aircraft Department and handed over to the Sixth Department, it was clearly written in the approval document that "Those who are sincere about the king's affairs will have their own public opinion, and the trend of party support and private alliance must not be allowed to last."But judging from the title of the memorial, there are still less than half of the memorials about Zuo Tian and You Li.Hongshi glanced at it briefly and put down the case. Seeing Li Wencheng about to leave, he stopped him and said, "Yue Zhongqi's army wants two thousand cowhide tents. Has the Military Aircraft Department approved the film? It's not in the catalog. Tell Zhang Prime Minister, I'll go over if I see someone." Li Wencheng hurriedly bowed and replied: "That's a secret book at Yuejun Gate. The emperor approved it and forwarded it to the Military Aircraft Department. Zhang Zhongtang has already dealt with it. The original card was returned to the emperor, so it's not on the catalog. Returning to the prince again, the deposed prince Yun is critically ill. Prince Caibao just made an appointment with Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Fang to visit him, and now he is afraid of walking on the road! "
Hongshi's heart paused, and he suddenly felt jealous and neglected. He paused for a moment, waved his hand and said: "You go ahead." Seeing Tulichen lame slightly, his spurs jingling on the floor, he walked in proudly. , Hongshi waved his hand indifferently and said: "No need to salute. I sent someone to call you just now, Lao Tang is here too, let's talk."
Tang Jingwu coughed and was about to speak, but Tu Lichen said first: "Let me say it first. The weather has already entered the summer heat, and the cold medicine commonly used in our army has not been distributed yet; and there are also summer clothes, which will rot if they cannot withstand the autumn cool. I Go down and take a look, the sergeants are all cursing. Dysentery is spreading in some camps, and they are all over it, and they can't even practice. Please third master, please allocate some mung beans, licorice, two flowers, yellow cypress and coptis as soon as possible. This can't be delayed at all." Tang Tang Jingwu smiled and said, "We are talking about the same thing. Soldiers stationed at Dehua Gate and people from Fengtai Camp fought in front of Tongjun's store in Dehua to buy medicine. One store was smashed to pieces, and the store owner sued The murderer can't be caught at my place. I'd like to ask Third Master and Tu Junmen and Zhang Yujunmen for instructions on how to calm down this matter without harming the peace. The drugstore should also deal with it."
"I heard about this." Hongshi glanced at Tulichen. Somehow, he always felt that this arrogant guy looked down on him.However, Tuli Chen was originally a lone general who was dealing with Rakshasa in the Northeast. He captured Nuo Min when his power was at its peak, so he was the Manchu Hara Pearl most trusted by Yongzheng.He didn't dare to offend too much.Yin smiled again and said: "If the items are smashed in the shop, Shuntian Prefecture will compensate for it. General Tu, the leader of the trouble must be punished, so as to calm people's hearts. I'll go over to Zhang Yu and say, you can handle it yourself, and you have to wear a yoke to show it to the public!" "
In fact, Tu Lichen had no prejudice against Hongshi. He was naturally unsmiling, and with the long scar under his chin, anyone who looked at him would be a little disturbed.Hearing Hongshi say "shackles", Tulichen smiled coldly and said: "My people have been dealt with. The first three bowed their heads in front of the army. The remaining 14 people were shackles for three days. Mr. Tang can go and see." But the medicinal materials still have to be given, Third Master, you can’t make this mistake.”
"I'll call Hube Xinghuo to take care of it after a while." Hongshi said, "I want to ask you for another errand. The detention of Aqina Seth Hei and Yun, whether in Beijing or outside, is under your control." . They committed crimes and ransacked their homes, and they all had their family members and a large group of servants waiting on them. It was too comfortable to guard the sentence like this. These family members include He Zhuer, Gong Puqi, Yaqibu, Weng Niuxing, and Wu Dali. , Mao Taitong Bao, not only is he at large, but he is also fabricating rumors everywhere, gossiping about the secrets of the palace, and slandering the Holy Ancestor today. If they are not held accountable for the crime of helping Zhou to bully others, based on their current crimes, they will never be able to let the capital go unpunished and do evil again!"
Hongshi called the names of many people one after another. Some were criminal officials who had been dismissed from Yunsu's family, and some were eunuchs' slaves in Yunfu.When the master lost power and was imprisoned, the slaves were dissatisfied and started gossiping. This has always happened. Shan Yunshu's two thousand family members ransacked their homes and took away less than a thousand for questioning. There were still more than a thousand people who accused the master everywhere. There are those who are poor in borrowing money, those who go to various yamen with whom they are familiar to help their sidemen in lawsuits, and those who drink wine and criticize others in the streets of wine shops... all kinds of illegal things are involved.When Hongshi Qi Gener was slumped and thrown out of the capital, both Tu Lichen and Tang Jingwu felt relieved.Tang Jingwu first applauded and said, "Third Master, this is the best! These bastards are deliberately looking for trouble. Sometimes they are so angry that they choke. They look like broken pots, just like a bunch of boiled pots that cannot be chopped." Uncooked hob meat! Send it far away. Not only will our ears be clean, but Ba-Aqina and the others will also be less burdened by these pickled and slaughtered talents!" Tulichen was careful and asked: " The third master is doing this, have you asked for a decree? It turns out that the fourth master is presiding here and has something to say: All matters related to Aqina Seth Hei and a few others, no matter how big or small, must ask for a decree."
"This is to deal with their slaves!" Hongshi said with a dull face, "I didn't touch a hair of theirs! This matter will be done tomorrow morning. I will write a warrant for you. If anything happens, it will be mine. .”
When he heard that there was no order, Tulichen murmured a little. He drove all the people around Yunhu out of the capital and exiled them to other counties. This was a big solution for thousands of people. He did it without asking for an order. This third master is really a bold person. Son!He thought about it and asked: "I wonder when Yu Jia will return to Beijing? Don't get me wrong, Third Master. I actually agree with your approach in my heart. But the matter is not small, so you should still ask for an order."
"I don't know when the emperor will come back." Hongshi said coldly, "You are the admiral of the Nine Sects and have the right to directly report. If you want to ask for an order, I can't stop you." As he said this, he went to get Hu Shili's book.
Tu Lichen and Tang Jingwu felt bored and said goodbye.Beside the rockery in front of Yunsongxuan, the two of them stopped at the same time. Tu Lichen said: "He is responsible for it, let's do it for him!"
Hongshi's eyes in the hall also jumped at this moment.It turned out that Hu Shili's memorial only said one thing. Li Fu, the governor of Zhili, hosted a banquet for himself on May 23. After the banquet, he said, "Yun Zhen's crime cannot be punished, and we, as ministers, cannot cause trouble to the emperor." Brother is in charge of this matter and can do it easily."
"He wants to kill Seth Hei, but he doesn't want to get blood," Hongshi smiled coldly, "How smart! Don't you know that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!"
