Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 49
The news of Kangxi's sudden illness at the "Thousands of Old Banquets" was suppressed for six days.After all, the fire could not be contained in the paper. On the seventh day, Shang Shufang and Taiyuan Hospital jointly issued a joint statement announcing that China and foreign countries "sacred worship violates peace."So the greetings from the governors of the eighteen provinces, the governors of the vassals, and the chief officials of each yamen were handed to Beijing like flakes.Although the excerpts are full of good words, saying that they will "complete their duties to comfort the saints" and believe that the emperor "will be able to take advantage of the medicine early as long as he takes care of himself and works hard," the news from behind the scenes in Beijing , Emperor Kangxi had "no hope of recovery", and everyone was thinking about their future path, hoping that the emperor would decide the state affairs early and specify the crown prince, so as to save themselves the trouble of worrying and wandering.The fourteenth elder brother was as anxious as a monkey chained to a pillar, scratching his head and scratching his head with no idea.I wanted to go to Beijing alone, but I was afraid of losing my military power and staying in the army. I was also afraid that Yin would do tricks in Beijing, and the death would be kept secret without being mourned.Therefore, on the loess post road from Suzhou to Beijing, every four hours there would be a meteor message from the general king traveling between the camps in Kyoto.If anything happens in Beijing, Yin, who is three thousand miles away, will know everything about it within four days.

After May, the imperial court came out of the residence to report again, saying that "the emperor is feeling well".Then there was a decree that strictly ordered officials from various places not to "spread rumors", and ordered the governors and governors of all provinces to go to Beijing in batches to meet with the emperor to pay their respects. Since the meeting was called, the emperor's health had naturally improved.People didn't say anything at all, and then received a message from the court: "Wang Guan was attached to Yin, and he did not realize it until his death. He was dismissed from the Wenhua Palace and was given the title of bachelor and crown prince. He was sent to serve in the Wula sacrifice army. He read As he is old, his eldest son will go on behalf of his father." This imperial edict was still valid, but what followed shocked the government and the public: "I had an original decree regarding the case of gathering two thousand people, setting up flags and setting off cannons in Yongchun and Dehua counties of Quanzhou Prefecture. These people were not thieves at first. Due to lack of food, they had no choice but to send the ministers and guards to recruit them. The minister Ma Qi in the study dealt with the perverse and approved the attack without permission. Not only did the leader of the thief Chen Wuxian escape, Kill more than 45 people who were holding them hostage. Go to Ma Qi to receive the titles of minister of bodyguard, Taibao of the crown prince, and bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and hand them over to the Ministry for discussion!" People were surprised and received an order: "Go to the study minister Zhang Tingyu. , has been serving for many years, but has no suggestions for good governance. Last year, I issued an edict to ask for advice, and Yi only reported that the age for women to observe the festival was changed from fifty to [-]. He was perfunctory and prevaricated, and the person involved was dishonest. I should have strictly discussed it, and thought about it and got rid of it. There are no serious faults outside, so I will be demoted two levels and temporarily stay in the study room." Before people woke up, the edict was issued again: "Fang Bao is a commoner Confucian scholar. You should be pure and white, and serve your orders sincerely. But Fang Bao wanted to seek favors and honors, but was restless in his position. He made friends with foreign officials and communicated with his elder brother. His conduct was very bad. When Nian Yi was old, he was exempted from punishment and was given money to return home. Hand it over to the local officials to strictly control it!"

One after another edicts, all the first-class figures around the emperor were deposed. There was no warning in advance, and there was no consultation afterward.On weekdays, when encountering this kind of thing, as usual, they would go along with it, and impeachment memorials swarmed up.But this time it was surprisingly calm, except for following orders, no one wrote notes for fun.In fact, it's not that people forgot to chant the Holy Spirit—one by one out of thin air, thunderbolts struck the top of people's heads one by one, and they were all stunned.

After the July Festival, the cool breeze suddenly started blowing in Beijing, and the autumn leaves were old and thick.Yin, who had nothing to do for a long time, received the decree and was relieved of his duties as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and in charge of the Second Department of Criminal Households.Suppressing the panic in his heart, Yin calmly went into the garden to pay his respects, and dragged his heavy steps back to Yonghe Temple. He saw jar after jar of unopened old Fuzhou burning jars under the eaves of Wanfu Hall, and there were more than a dozen baskets of lucky oranges piled inside. Under the old catalpa tree in front of the hall.At a glance, he caught a glimpse of Dai Duo playing against Wen Jue in Wanfu Hall, with Xingyin and Wu Sidao watching the battle, and walked in.Seeing him come in, everyone except Wu Sidao stood up to greet him.Dai Duo hurriedly took a step forward, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Slave Dai Duo, I kowtow to my master!"

"Hmm." Yin glanced at the gifts outside, waved his hands and sat down. He took a sip of the tea handed to him by his chief attendant and asked lightly, "You're back? When did it arrive?" Dark and fat, with a radiant face, short and thick figure, wrapped in a black satin robe, exuding a strong aura.Seeing Yin's unhappy face, he carefully replied: "I came back yesterday. I followed the instructions in the master's letter. I didn't dare to go back to the house to pay a visit first. I went to Changchun Garden to pay my respects to Long Live. I only asked a few words and then came down. Today My son came in early in the morning, and I have already gone out..." As he said that, he presented the gift list.Yin took it and glanced at it briefly, then put it aside. After a pause, he said angrily: "The most ruthless and unjust people in the world are you and Dai Duo. They use these things to frustrate me every year! Every time I write a letter It's so boring to either cry about poverty or complain about suffering! Are you really so poor? I never eat wine, and there are no ripe oranges. How can I use them after they are ripe? You even took them out and sold them in the market. The cost of going back is too high. Save me the reward!"

Dai Duo didn't dare to say a word and just lowered his head to listen to his scolding.Wu Sidao smiled and said: "Fourth Master, what's wrong with you? You lose your temper when you are fine, and the internal affairs office and the ministry are not going as you like?" Yin took a long breath and said dejectedly: "The mission... has been withdrawn. Just in time, no matter what It's easy! Don't I enjoy the blessings? Look at this newspaper. Yesterday it was You Mingtang, and today it's Shi Shilun and Zhao Shenqiao. They were all dismissed for questioning! It really looks like a tree fell down and the hozens dispersed. It doesn't matter whether people are cold or not. Chilling! There are rumors outside that Long Live is crazy. I see him every day, but it doesn’t seem like he is just managing government affairs like this. Is it okay?" He vented for a while, and felt a little better. He looked at Dai Duo and said, "How is your master? I'm so bad. I'm scolding you a few times, so don't blame me." Dai Duo hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "How dare you, slave! The master's lesson is for the slave's benefit. Besides, if the master doesn't get angry, who will the slave get?"

"Fourth Lord, is that why you're not happy?" Wu Sidao looked at the mansion newspaper, put it down lightly, and said with a smile, "With all due respect, you really need to take a good look at Long Live's emperor's mind!"

"Well?"

Wu Sidao chuckled and said: "Long live this is preparing for the funeral! The dragon's body is not good, he already knows that he can't afford it. The competition between brothers has reached the point of incompatibility! The eighth master is guarding you, and the fourteenth master is even more guarded. The Fourteenth Master is proud of his troops and is waiting for Long Live Yan to come to the city to compete with the Eighth Master! You can see at a glance that all those who are deposed are capable officials. These people are caught in party disputes, which will be detrimental to the future of the government. Fu Cuo If the new master ascends to power, he will inevitably go on a killing spree. If he assists the right people, he will easily become arrogant and difficult to control! So, now they are all imprisoned and protected. When the new master ascends to power, with a piece of pardon, the land will immediately become the new master. The emperor has to use his ministers! Although this plan of long live is painful, it is still a bodhisattva's heart!"

These few words made Yin's heart light up.Wang Guan was obviously his own protector, but the decree of deposing him said that he was "the party attached to Yin". He had been thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, but now he had an answer.After thinking hard for a long time, Yin sighed: "Although it's good, it's a bit cool after all. I pay attention to treating people with sincerity, and nothing can escape the word 'reason'. Yesterday when Elundai saw me, even though he pardoned him, he still refused to accept it. In the 60th year of Daqing, I don’t know whether it was the Eighth Master or the Fourteenth Master, who sacrificed a dead eagle, but there was no punishment! If he was to be released on me, I might as well be in which level of hell he would be now!"

"Long live the Eighth Master and the Fourteenth Master, there is a reason for not checking. This is sufficient proof. Long live the dragon's heart is silently silent, and the Fourth Master's position has been decided!" Wu Sidao put up his crutches and paced slowly in full view of everyone, " If the eighth master or the fourteenth master is silently appointed, is there any reason not to investigate such a matter?" Yin was lost in thought while listening, and then said after a while: "Even so, such a traitor who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors, who has no human heart, should be investigated and dealt with. !" Wu Sidao hesitated for a long time and said: "As long as the fourth master thinks about it calmly, he will naturally understand and cannot investigate. This is regicide and rebellion. I dare to conclude that it is the eighth master. The fourteenth master led the ten Wan Jingrui is outside. If he is withdrawn and investigated, it will give him an excuse to be a Qingjun. If the Eighth Master contacts and responds here, the world will be in chaos immediately; if the Eighth Master is investigated and the gift belongs to the Fourteenth Master, he calls out to Chongtian Qu, Jiu The tenth master added fuel to the flames and caused the disaster. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to have a happy ending! Now the overall situation is stable, which is beneficial to the fourth master. The overall situation is chaotic, which is beneficial to the eighth master. The fourteenth master hopes that the eighth master and the fourth master will have a draw. He is good Just reap the benefits. If Banzai's disease can be cured, it will naturally be cured. Seeing impermanence and forcing the lamp to run out of oil, how can we withstand this storm? So this time, although Ba Ye took a risky move, he made it after he saw it right. Yes, what he wants is a 'garbled' word!"

Listening to Wu Sidao's talk, Yin suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable jealousy and fear: How can this person control him in the future if he is so smart?He glanced at Wu Sidao and sighed softly: "It's better than studying for ten years! If he wants chaos, of course I want stability."

"The court does not want the Fourth Master to worry about it," Wu Sidao also glanced at Yin, "Long Live has Zhang Tingyu and Wu Dan at his side, which is enough. The Seventeenth Master and the Xishan Green Camp Manager have an uncle-nephew relationship, and Shi Shi When the Seventh Master went to stabilize Xishan, half of the officers in the Fengtai camp were sent by the Thirteenth Master, but the chief officer Cheng Wenyun was the Eighth Master's best friend. The most worrying one was the Nine Sect Admiral Longkodo. Regarding this person, the Fourth Master You should call him uncle, but he is from the Tong family, and the whole family has a close relationship with the Eighth Master. Even if the Thirteenth Master is not released from prison, even if he passes the throne to you, you will not be able to sit still. If the Thirteenth Master is released from prison, even if Passing the throne to another elder brother, Fourth Master, as long as you take a pre-emptive strike, the situation may turn around! So, the current situation is not optimistic!" Yin gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then said: "I will go and ask for a pardon right away. The Thirteenth Brother is here!" Wu Sidao said with a smile: "The Thirteenth Lord will only mess up the situation if he comes out this time, and I may not agree with you. To put it bluntly, the Fourth Lord has been running the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years. Even if the time comes, it won’t be difficult to issue an edict to pardon him!”

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Dai Duo asked: "Fourth master, this time I came back to see that there are four or five acquaintances missing in the courtyard, and Gao Fuer didn't see him either. Did fourth master send him out?"

"That's right." Yin smiled sinisterly, looked at Zhou Yongcheng, and said, "I sent them to the gate of hell. Unreasonable bastard, what kind of person am I? I added 8000 taels of silver for a stinky bitch, he You dare to betray the owner!" As he spoke, he was thinking about Longkodo, so he got up and went out, ordering: "Prepare the sedan, I will go to the infantry commander's Yamen!"

Longkodo was not in the Yamen.Just after the mao was ordered today, a message came from the study, "Zhang Zhongtang lives in Danning in Changchun Garden, please come over." He ordered the sedan chair to rush to the garden.As the admiral of the Nine Gates, he is not considered a very big official in Beijing. Like the Shuntian Mansion, he has the Zhili Governor and the Zhili Governor under his control, which is not as good as the Yulin Army Shanzhuying.However, the infantry commanded the yamen to govern the defenses of Desheng, Anding, Zhengyang, Chongwen, Xuanwu, Chaoyang, Fucheng, Dongzhi, and Xizhimen in the capital, commonly known as "Nine Gate Admirals", with nearly [-] troops in command. It is the heaviest military power in the capital.Because there was very little contact with Shangshufang and no direct reply, Long Kedo hesitated for a while, hesitating whether to go to Prince Lian's mansion before entering the garden.The sedan chair walked eastward for a short distance, Long Kedo changed his mind again, turned west again, and handed a sign at the gate of the garden to enter Danningju.Seeing him coming in, Zhang Tingyu stood up and said with a smile, "Zhuyun, it's really hard for you. As the saying goes, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and you will be right when you turn back!"

"Zhang Zhongtang," Long Kedo said in surprise while bowing down, "I don't understand what you mean." Zhang Tingyu smiled and said: "You want to see the eighth master first, and you can't get in even if you hand over the sign. Tomorrow Now, you are no longer an admiral of the Nine Schools. Misfortunes, fortunes, honors and disgraces are all in one thought, so I say you will turn around from the sea of ​​suffering!" Only then did Longkodo know that this "unstoppable" prime minister is always in control of his own actions , Sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, but he said in his mouth: "Even so, I still don't understand."

Zhang Tingyu got up and said: "You will understand when you are young, come with me." Long Keduo nodded blankly, and followed Zhang Tingyu out. Xing Nian had brought two eunuchs to pick him up and walked past Danningju to the north, but Seeing that there are no palaces and buildings in the north of Danningju Yuedong Gate, all the ivy, calamus, grapes, roses and thorns are all in one color, and the vines are tied together to form a flower cave. The sky covered the sun, and the surroundings were so quiet that there were only occasional autumn insects in the grass, which made people feel a sense of loneliness and mystery.Longkodo thought about Zhang Tingyu's words all the way, and couldn't help asking: "Zhongtang, where are you taking me?" There is an earthen wall covered with morning glory, creeper and Polygonum multiflorum. The large courtyard houses are all thatched houses with yellow thatch roofs. The wooden windows and bamboo fences are not rich and noble. The plaque, with the words "Qianlu" written on it, is actually an imperial pen.When Longkodo was in doubt, he saw the white-haired Wu Dan coming out of it, wearing a robe with nine pythons and five claws, a yellow mandarin jacket, and behind the coral top was dragging a sprig of emerald and golden peacock feathers. When he saw Zhang Tingyu, Then he laughed and said, "Please!" Seeing that Longkodo was going to salute, he said again: "The master is taking pictures inside, so don't salute with a lot of yelling!"

"Long Live Lord—lives here?"

"That's right." Zhang Tingyu said with a smile, "This is a garden within a garden, a palace within a palace, and even Ma Qi is not lucky to come here! Long live the spirit is a little better today, I summon you alone, good fortune!"

Longkodo followed Zhang Tingyu in like an idiot, and was even more surprised. Standing at the door to greet him was Fang Bao, the civilian prime minister who had already issued an order to reprimand him and reward him with money to return home "to be strictly controlled by the local officials"!Long Kedo opened his mouth wide, and just said "Aren't you—" Fang Bao waved his hand to stop him.Longkodo had no choice but to come in, and he saw that Kangxi was wearing a camel-colored solid gauze gown, with a bright yellow ribbon on his head and clothes, lying on a bamboo couch with his eyes closed and resting his mind. It was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.Longkodo's clothes rustled and he knelt down, and tapped his head on the ground three times, but he didn't dare to speak. Tell about the troubles and achievements of the emperor's life.

"Long live," Fang Bao called softly. Seeing that Kangxi had no response, he took another step forward and said cautiously, "Long live, the commander of the infantry, Longkodo, has ordered you to see him, and he has already greeted you."

Kangxi's Adam's apple moved, and he opened his drowsy eyes and stared at Longkodo. After a long while, he said with difficulty: "Get up, give me a seat, and enjoy the tea." Longkodo slowly stood up and sat down with his buttocks tilted. , said in a warm voice: "I haven't seen my master for half a year, and Long Yan has become so haggard, which is really surprising to me!" After saying that, he became emotional, his eyes turned red, and he stopped playing the formula and said in a choked voice: "What's going on? What you mean? It makes people feel sad. I have followed the emperor since I was a child. How many times have I seen my master behave like this?" He was so moved that he couldn't help but burst into tears.Zhang Tingyu frowned and said, "Long Keduo, what are you talking about?"

"Hengchen, this is his true love. I am willing to listen to this field." Kangxi sighed softly, "The imperial doctor and you all say that my illness is irrelevant, and I know it in my heart: there are not many days left. Sigh...Xuan Ye, do you have today too?" After a few words, Fang Bao and Zhang Tingyu also shed tears.After sighing for a long time, Kangxi said again: "Life and death are common sense, and sensible people don't hold back. But today is not the time to be sad. I want to take advantage of my clear heart to settle the important matter—Longkodo, do you know why I summoned you?" Long Kedo Ke Duo hurriedly leaned over and replied, "I don't know." Kangxi looked at Zhang Tingyu and said, "You give him an edict."

Zhang Tingyu bowed and agreed to stand facing the south. After Long Kedo knelt down, he said, "Long Kedo kneels and listens. This is the imperial edict!"

"twitter!"

"The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven," Zhang Tingyu read unhurriedly, "Long Keduo was originally a humble minister. He leaned forward to study with minister Tong Guowei's power in the Tai Pavilion. He dared to communicate with the eighth elder brother Yin Tu for no reason. According to the rules, if you seek unmerited favors and honors, you will be rewarded with death. I admire this!"

Longkodo never expected it to be such an imperial edict, his body trembled in shock, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, he stared blankly at Kangxi who was staring at the ceiling indifferently, his lips trembled violently, sighed softly, and kowtowed Said: "Slave...lead the decree, thank you..." Fang Bao asked from the side: "Do you have anything to argue with?" Longkoduo repeatedly kowtowed: "The slave has been suppressed by the Tong clan for many years, and he is not proud of it. There is a little secret relationship with the eighth elder brother, and there is no conspiracy to do anything wrong, please pray for the holy lesson." Kangxi nodded slightly, and said: "There is another imperial edict, read it."

"I will dispose of the edict just now. If you fulfill your duties according to the edict, Wu Dan, Zhang Wuge, Liu Tiecheng and De Lengtai will burn this edict together." Zhang Tingyu showed another edict and said: "This edict will be burned by Wu Dan, Zhang Wuge, Liu Tiecheng and De Lengtai." After 30 years, the master announced: Longkodo has been with me for [-] years. He has been responsible for his duties and has been entrusted with important tasks. He will be entrusted with the title of Minister of the Bodyguard, Prince's Taibao, and Minister of the Study Room, and he will be given the title of first-class Duke. I admire this!" Two completely opposite edicts were read out at the same time. Longkodo was stunned and frightened. He knelt upright and forgot to thank him!

"There is no way around it." Kangxi turned sideways, looked at Longkodo gently, and said with a bit of bitterness in his tone, "I am a hero, and I don't want to be defeated by my son, and it is inevitable to have a baby. Think about it." Go, I have to give you the two characters of life and death, and you can choose by yourself. Zhang Tingyu and the others also have two copies of this edict. Make sure that my last wish will not come to nothing. Mechanical deceit, benevolent people do not do things, and I am not virtuous. The pawns were all forced out by the situation. Longkodo, you should forgive me for my painstaking efforts!"

"I understand..." Long Kedo kowtowed deeply. In fact, he overturned the five-flavored paste pot in his heart. He had all kinds of tastes and didn't understand anything.

"You don't understand..." Kangxi seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion, and waved his hands, "Kneel closer, I'll tell you. Fang Bao, take that thing out of the wooden cabinet..."

Fang Bao agreed, opened the cabinet with shaking hands, took out a gold-plated yellow lacquer gourd and handed it to Kangxi.Kangxi held the gourd in one hand, stroked Longkodo's back with the other, and said: "You are oppressed in the Tong family, and I know it well. In fact, you don't know that it is I who really oppressed you. If I want to promote you, Tong Guowei can stop it." ?”

"Long live!"

"Listen to me," Kangxi said again with a light cough, "The Tong family has been favored by the country, and my biological mother is also from the Tong family. I expected Tong Guowei to live up to my expectations and become a famous figure for a generation. I didn't expect him to fall into the trap of my elder brother." I can't extricate myself from the party struggle, and that's why I hate him but don't kill him. Although you have a rift with Tong Guowei, you actually resent me in your heart, thinking that I have forgotten you, don't you?"

"Slave dare not!"

Kangxi sighed: "If you don't dare to say it's true, if you don't dare to think about it, it may not be true. Little Duozi! Look at this gourd. This is the battle of Khobduo back then. Our master and slave broke out and trekked in the vast Gobi sea. It was left over from time to time. Just such a gourd water, lasted for three days, you drank horse urine, I drank water; there was only a sorghum noodle cornbread, I gave you a piece, you were not willing to eat, what you ate was grass roots, until I I was so hungry and you gave it to me again..." Long Keduo burst into tears, choked up a bit, and couldn't say what he wanted to say.Kangxi sighed: "In the past, when Chong'er was in exile, there was no food on the road. His minister Jie Zitui cut off his shares and ate the king. Chong'er was restored to the throne, but he was forgotten. You have the integrity of Jie Zitui, but I don't learn from Duke Wen of Jin! This After fighting the gourd, I put it away, painted it with yellow lacquer, and plated it with real gold. I put it on the desk and often played with it, but I never mentioned your official position or promoted you. It’s not that you didn’t do a good job, it’s that I deliberately Press it. First, you can experience some things, and second, I can also see your character. You were the youngest one who was drafted in the past. I want to leave you for my children and grandchildren. The promotion is too big, so it won’t work. !” As he spoke, he was in tears, Long Kedo fell to the ground crying, Zhang Tingyu and Fang Bao were also dejected.

"I've said this thoroughly today, but it's actually Tuogu." Kangxi choked up, "I've been promoted to your post, I've made you a Minister of Gu Ming, and I want you to announce my edict to pass on the throne. You think about it before and after. I don't respect you and love you. Can you do this?" Do? I...couldn't I even find someone who announced the will?"

At this point, Longkodo was already groaning, his whole body was twitching and trembling, and he couldn't answer a word.Kangxi wiped his tears and said: "What I said just now is that I will fulfill you. You also want to fulfill me. If you are born to be a loyal and capable minister, it will not be in vain for my painstaking efforts in cultivating you for decades." After that, He felt a little short of breath, took a short breath, and said calmly: "I am too tired, you can discuss it, I am here to listen." Long Keduo said with tears: "Master's kindness, even if you grind the slave into powder, you can repay it." No. I won’t say a single word if I need anything extra. From now on, even if the time for my slave’s death is approaching, as long as I am loyal until death, I can repay the emperor’s grace!” He cried until his face turned pale, and he swallowed Getting up angrily, he said, "Master Hengchen, Mr. Linggao, please make arrangements."

Zhang Tingyu asked Longko to sit down.Fang Bao came over with a stack of papers half a foot thick, and said: "This is the quotations dictated by the emperor for eight years. I have polished and transcribed them and inscribed them as 'Sheng Wu Ji'. Hand them to Heng Chen today, and Heng Chen will declare them in the future." " Zhang Tingyu saw that Long Ke was in a daze, and hurriedly said: "There are two copies of the edict, one is the 'Sheng Wu Ji', which briefly reports the achievements of the emperor's life, and the sacred teachings for his descendants; the other is the edict of succession. It is up to you to read it, and read it together with Zhang Wuge De Lentai..."

The three chatted quietly, but Kangxi closed his eyes and listened quietly at first.Gradually, the sound became muddy and distant, and he fell into a deep sleep...

Long Kedo returned to the Yamen of the Infantry Commander, and the timing card of You has passed.He has only eaten one meal from morning to now, but he is not hungry at all.This mission that was suddenly imposed on him burned him like a fire, full of excitement, excitement, joy, hope, and a trace of loss and sadness, which was completely inexplicable and uncalmable.He took a few steps in the signing room with his shoes on, called the study room and said in a military style: "I will write two handwritten notes, and you will send them out."
The guard battalion of the Chinese Army took over the original guards of Chaoyangmen, Qihuamen, and Dongzhimen Shipeng Zhenglan Banner garrison sergeants.This order!
After thinking about it, I wrote another one:
The green battalion in Xuanwumen was transferred to defend North Andingmen.This order!
"Understood." The post received the letter, and said: "I will do it for the humble post-please tell me, where is the original garrison of Chaoyangmen moved?"

"You tell them to take charge of the horses," Longkodo said coldly, "don't disturb the people in the city. In the middle of the night, bring the Dongsanmen soldiers into the city to protect my central army. All the deployed troops must not disturb the people!"

"twitter!"

I agreed with the post, and before I went out, I heard someone outside saying: "Wai Lang Dang, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, please see me." Dang Fengen is a disciple of Ninth Prince Yin, and is also the son of his old boss, Dang Li. Got to be familiar with it.Longkodo pondered for a while and said: "You can leave the handwriting first and pick it up after half an hour - please Mr. Dang!"

For a while, I heard the footsteps swaying, and Dang Fengen's cloth shoes with blue lapels floated in.Long Keduo laughed and said: "What wind brought you here? You are living more and more chic! These five long beards are really enviable. After changing the Taoist costume, you can look like Lu Dongbin!"

"I'm a night owl, so I don't come here for anything!" Dang Fengen said with a grin, and came in to take a seat.The two exchanged a few words of greeting and laughter, Long Kedo ordered people to avoid him, and asked with a smile, "Did the eighth master call you here?" Dang Fengen pondered for a moment while holding the tea bowl, and said, "It's the ninth master. Last night, the ninth master and Ba Ye spent the whole night thinking about it, and asked me to ask you the truth."

Long Kedo pretended to be stunned, and said, "What's the plan? Last time you came, I already said, don't you need to worry about the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion?"

"Baye is ready for everything now, and only owes the east wind." Dang Fengen stood up gracefully, took square steps and meditated: "Fengtai Daying is in charge of Changchun Garden, and you are in charge of Jiucheng. When the time comes, you will be in charge of the city. All the princes and Baylor and Beizi's mansions are under your protection and control. The fear is that someone will strike first, so the burden of guarding the Baye's mansion will fall on your shoulders. Fengtai Daying Thirteenth Lord's department is quite old. , I’m afraid you will have to use your troops.”

Longkodo leaned back relaxedly, giggled and said, "What a strong east wind! I've said it straight, my soldiers can't go out of the city. Otherwise, it will be difficult to control the prince's mansion in more than [-] cities. It's Ba Ye Summoned in person, that's all I can say!"

"Very good!" Dang Fengen sat back, "Eighth Master has also considered this. Since you are loyal to Eighth Master, what should you do if Fengtai mutiny happens? Eighth Master asked me to ask you." Longkodo smiled and said: " There will be no such thing. In case something happens, there will still be Xishan Ruijian Camp! I have ordered tonight to transfer my Chinese army to protect Baye, and transfer the green battalion to control Siye. As long as Baye is here, Fengtai will collapse God, they don't want to enter the city one by one!" After saying that, he pushed the two copies of the letter on the table to Dang Fengen.

Dang Fengen looked at the handwritten letter, with a candle on his back, his eyes glowed like will-o'-the-wisps: "You are such a character! Tomorrow night, Lord Nine and Master Ten will invite you to have an interview. It has already been appointed, and you are Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War!" Long Kedo almost burst out laughing, held back, stood up and said: "You report to Lord Nine. Officer, I don't want it. I hope that my old man Tong will be in power, and he will not run on me a little bit. I feel so much love! "

After seeing the guests out, Longkodo looked at the two letters on the case, with a sneer on his face, and said loudly, "Come here!"
