Emperor Yongzheng
Chapter 57 Sun Jiagan Gong's wife shakes the old fist 3 King Jindian invites special favors
Chapter 57: Sun Jiagan and his wife waved their old fists and invited special favors from the Golden Palace of Thirteen Kings
All elder brothers accompanied Yongzheng to lunch, except for the third elder brother Yunzhi, the fifth elder brother Yunqi, and the eighth elder brother Yun who were reserved and self-respected and refused to be presumptuous, the rest of them were all rude and gorged themselves in front of Yongzheng. So, everyone was sweating from eating - only had some vegetarian snacks in front of the funeral in the morning, and this guy was really hungry - Yongzheng was very particular about etiquette, and he hated these dirty ghosts from the bottom of his heart. Smiling and persuading everyone to "use more", he grabbed a few chopsticks of bean curd skin and mixed it with vermicelli to eat, then washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, smiled and saw that everyone was full, got up and said: "I'm tired of talking, brothers, come in anytime if you have something to do!"
So everyone got up one after another, wiped their mouths and picked their teeth, knelt and thanked each other in a chaotic noise, and dispersed in a hurry.Because Yunxiang was also on the mission to go to the study, he was in charge of the defense of the Forbidden City. With this status, he had the responsibility to protect the emperor's safety, so he refused to attend the banquet, and only stood behind Yongzheng to wait.After the banquet, Yunxiang sent the elder brothers to Dan Chi on behalf of Yongzheng. In a blink of an eye, he saw Longkodo standing in front of the East Side Hall, and said with a smile: "Old Long, you came here earlier? Why didn't you come in?" Longko Duo was about to start a conversation, when he saw Yongzheng walking out of the hall, he hurriedly stepped forward and called Qianer and said, "I'm here to send new money to Lord Long Live." As he said, he raised the yellow paper bag in his hand and presented it.
"Hmm." Yongzheng looked a little dazed, he didn't go to pick up the money, but shouted towards the East Side Hall: "Li Dequan!"
"Your servant is here!" Li Dequan had already seen Yongzheng coming out through the glass, and when he heard the call, he rushed out and beat Qian'er down, "What is the master's intention?" Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Call Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi over here." Li Dequan agreed , just got up, Long Kedo apologized and said with a smile: "If you go back to the master, Ma Qi has already retired, and Zhang Tingyu is meeting the county magistrate who came to Beijing to introduce him. Come in to see the master when you speak."
Only then did Yongzheng take the heavy wallet, nodded, and said, "Alright. How many county magistrates are you introducing this time?" Long Kedo hurriedly said, "There are 27 in total, and Ting Yu is giving them Talking about introduction to Yizhu, but Ying Jinger’s matter, I guess it’s over now.” Yongzheng smiled indifferently, stared at Longkoduo and said, “Oh? Ying Jinger’s matter, what do you think?”
Long Keduo looked blank, seeing that Yunxiang didn't dare to answer, the county magistrate introduced the emperor, and it was a matter of kowtow, I really don't know why this nitpicky emperor still wants to find fault?When he was in a daze, Zhang Tingyu came in with a small eunuch holding a stack of memorials. Seeing that he was going to salute, Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "No need, come in." Then he went back into the hall, and everyone had to follow in.Yongzheng went to the West Study Room and sat cross-legged on the kang. He sorted out the memorials sent by Zhang Tingyu with his own hands, and ordered, "Mix more cinnabar, I will stay up all night."Then he smiled at Long Keduo: "You are a nobleman, and you are born in martial arts. I don't blame you if you make a mistake. Although the county magistrate is small, he is an official who is close to the people. The order of the temple requires him to preach to the people. The affliction required him to report to the imperial court. Heaven listens to the people, and heaven sees to the people. They have to do business and be the eyes and ears of the court. This level of officials is the most important. Therefore, the introduction cannot be as usual, a large group of people come in , Kowtow to listen to the training and walk. I want to meet one by one, and pass the exam one by one." As he spoke, he opened the yellow paper bag to look at the money.
"Long live," Zhang Tingyu said with a bow, "I think diligence is important, but the eighteen provinces, the world is so big, each province lacks more than [-] people, plus candidates, waiting for election, it is really cumbersome , interviewed one by one, passed the exam..." "You don't have to say any more." Without raising his head, Yongzheng looked at the copper coins on the table and said, "Then meet three at a time—let's take a look at the coins first." Why do you see that the fineness of these three kinds of money seems to be different?"
Only then did everyone pay attention to the money. There were three small bags in a big bag, each with nine sample coins, a total of 27 coins. Can't see any difference.Yongzheng pointed to the first row, then pointed to the third row, and asked: "The money in the third row is not as clear as the calligraphy and painting in the first row!"
"Oh!" Long Kedo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Your Majesty, there is a difference here. In fact, no matter how carefully you look at it, the second row is not as good as the first row. The three rows of copper coins are not a model. The first The row is called "ancestral" money, which is cast to save the imperial archives; the model is embossed with ancestral money, and the second row is called "mother" money, and a large number of mother money is cast and printed, and the third row is "child money". , It is the money that is common all over the world. Because of repeating it twice, Ziqian calligraphy and painting are naturally not as good as ancestor money." Yongzheng laughed and said: "Pay attention to everything and learn. Unexpectedly, you, Uncle Qiuba, have reversed the money law!" He said with a smile thoughtfully. He got up, took two steps on the ground, and suddenly asked: "That Sun Jiagan, why did you get into a fight with the Minister of the Household Department? It's also because of unclear calligraphy and painting?"
Yunxiang and Longkodo didn't know the whole story, they looked at each other without daring to answer, and said, "I just asked someone to ask me. It's not because the calligraphy and painting are unclear, because copper and lead are used to cast money, and Sun Jiagan is the head of the Yunnan Guizhou Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. There was a statement that the minister of the household department should submit it to the imperial court. Ge Dahun said that he was troublesome, but he refused to accept it. The two of them talked back in the lobby of the household department. It's getting big."
"Both of them are bastards!" Yongzheng yawned, looked at the money on the case again, suddenly changed his mind, and asked Zhang Tingyu, "Is this person surnamed Sun safe?"
"No."
"Let him come to see me."
Zhang Tingyu looked at Yongzheng in surprise, and hurriedly agreed to go out to deliver the decree.Yongzheng looked at the chiming clock with a smile, and said, "It's time for the card to be closed. Is Yunxiang starving? Xingnian, I'll bring you two plates of snacks for Lord Thirteen!" Then he sat down to watch the memorial, Zhang Tingyu and Long Kodo stood beside him cautiously, not daring to vent his breath.Yongzheng flipped through a few papers, pressed them down, and picked up another copy to examine for a long time. He saw a young official in his 20s come in, and ignored him. He let him participate in the ceremony, but turned to Long Kedo: "This Shi Yizhi wrote a reference, saying that Nuo Min, the governor of Shanxi Province, concealed the deficit. Do you know about this?"
"Back to the emperor," Long Kedo hurriedly bowed, "Shanxi's deficit has been filled in 56 years of Kangxi. At that time, the emperor was in charge of the household department to check it out. Is there anything wrong with it? But Shi Yizhi is upright, he is really a clean official, He is the supervisory censor, and he allowed rumors to play out, even if it is not true, it is for the public, and it seems that it is not a big mistake. Please learn from the emperor!" Although he said both things, in fact, everyone present understood that Nuo Min and Shi Yizhi belonged to Shaanxi and Gansu. It was recommended by Governor Nian Gengyao, and Nian Gengyao is the current Emperor's most trusted vassal mansion. Yunxiang was chewing his snacks slowly on the small table next to him, but he said in his heart: "Slippery—this old loach!"
Only then did Yongzheng look at the young official kneeling in front of the kang, the mending clothes outside the robe with eight pythons and five claws had been stripped off, there was no red tassel on the big hat, the top of the clam was also taken off, and a button on the collar was taken off. It was probably pulled off when he was wrestling with Ge Dahun, with a pair of goldfish eyes and an unflattering hooked nose on a face like a wax gourd.Yongzheng glanced at it, feeling disgusted immediately. While drinking tea and staring away, he asked, "Your name is Sun Jiagan? When did you transfer to the account department? Why haven't I seen you?"
"Back to Long live." Sun Jiagan bumped three heads heavily under the gold bricks, and said loudly: "I was a Jinshi in the 60th year of Kangxi, and I was assigned to the Ministry of Households for three months after being a candidate in the Ministry of Rites. Long live Lord Longqian returned to his residence, so I am not blessed to know the holy face." Yongzheng sneered: "It may not be a disaster if you don't see me, and it may not be a blessing if you know me. Yes, no matter the foreign officials and Beijing officials, how can you achieve the sixth rank? You don’t know how to drill and manage, and whose career you have followed, and you have risen so fast, are you still restless?” Sun Jiagan said: “Long live back, I tie my hair To be educated, to obey the teachings of the saints, and not dare to be careless about family and private affairs, let alone state affairs and social affairs? During the palace examination, the minister was actually a biography (No. 60), and he was handed out to the Hanlin Academy for his appearance. Ugly, the academician in charge said, "The 4th anniversary of the Holy Ancestor, what do you look like standing in the Qing secret team?"? The official department of the Advisory Council downgraded the head of the household department...Long live still said that the minister is a drill, and the minister does not know what to do How can you play back!" After saying that, tears rolled down like pearls.
So it is!Yongzheng's face darkened, he was a little moved.Immediately smiled and said: "You are inferior to your appearance. In ancient times, there was Zhong Kui Zhong Kui, the man in the story. It is said that Tang Minghuang saw him catch little ghosts and eat them when he was ill. He ordered Wu Daozhi to draw Zhong Kui to catch ghosts. He is ugly and loved by the people. Now there is Sun Jiagan, which is good. Sigh. But a gentleman knows his fate, reading cultivates his character, you are No. 4 in the first class, and your knowledge must be passable. Why are you so Meng Lang, yelling at the officials, wrestling with ministers, and fighting until Xihua Gate——You are too wild Already!"
"Long live," Sun Jiagan asked, looking up, "I wonder if you have seen the newly minted Yongzheng Qian Long live?"
"See you, great!"
"Long live, do you know how much Kangxi money can be exchanged for with one or two foot prints?" Sun Jiagan stared straight at Yongzheng with a firm tone, "Is the money made by Long live for the convenience of the people, or to whitewash the peace?"
Hearing this series of questioning, all the guards and eunuchs in the hall trembled and changed color. Yongzheng called himself "Iron Man" in the mansion. He was known for being mean, jealous, and ruthless. The little sixth-rank hall official!Zhang Tingyu and Long Kedo looked at Yongzheng's increasingly gloomy face, and they looked at each other, trying to relieve his fury, when Yunxiang shouted from the side: "Sun Jiagan, you are talking to Wansui." ? Someone—get out of him!"
"Slow down." Yongzheng had turned his back, and said in deep thought, "I don't blame him for his temperament. Well, according to the official price, one tael of silver can be exchanged for two thousand Wen - what does this have to do with your business?"
Sun Jiagan also realized that he was in disrespect, and hurriedly kowtowed: "I am impetuous by nature, long live to forgive my minister, and I have no place to be grateful. Just now, long live said that the official price is the official price. But now it is not the case. One or two Taizhou footprints are actually the only ones on the market. It can be exchanged for 750 Wen!"
When others heard this, they thought it was a normal thing. Zhang Tingyu, who had been in charge for many years, knew the pros and cons of it well, and his head swelled up like a thunderbolt!Yongzheng said with a smile: "Money is expensive and silver is cheap. It has been in ancient times. What's the big deal? It's worth your fuss! You belong to the Yunnan-Guizhou Company, and you have ordered Yunnan to open more copper and lead and make more money. Wouldn't it be equal?" "Longkodo frowned and said: "It is certainly a way to open more mines, but there are too many miners, and it is easy to cause trouble when they get together, and it is also a headache." Yunxiang asked: "Sun Jiagan, according to your opinion, why is the price of silver and money so high?" Can't be balanced?"
"Back to Lord Thirteen," Sun Jiagan said, "the proportion of copper and lead in Kangxi coins is wrong, half copper and half lead, so the traitors took the money, melted it down and re-smelted it, and made copperware to sell. If you turn over the money, you will get dozens of times the interest." So no matter how much the country exploits mines, it can’t fill this bottomless pit. The collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the inequity of money and money were also a major malpractice. The Lord changed the Yuan to the top, refreshed the politics, and clarified the administration of officials. How can we repeat the same mistakes?”
This matter is actually related to the political situation!Yongzheng didn't understand the truth, and fell into deep thought.Zhang Tingyu saw that Sun Jiagan didn't understand clearly, bowed to the side and apologized with a smile: "Long live, long live the disadvantages here will be clear. The imperial court pays for mining and casting coins, and copper merchants receive money for casting. It is inconvenient for the people to circulate, so they have to use Barter; so the price of money is too expensive for the convenience of the people. This is the second and more important thing. The treasury collects taxes, and what they collect is silver, which is priced at two thousand taels of silver. The price is paid in copper coins, and the filthy officials can exchange two thousand taels of silver for more than two taels of silver, but they only pay one tael to the treasury..."
I see!Before Zhang Tingyu finished speaking, Yongzheng was already convinced: Every year, more than half of the taxes collected by the imperial court fell into the pockets of foreign officials!Thinking of these corrupt officials who were so clever in plundering and exploiting, they were still greedy enough and had to borrow money from the treasury and failed to pay it back for a long time. As a result, the treasury of the household department had 5000 million taels on the books and 800 million in actual possessions... Yongzheng Suddenly his face turned livid with anger. He glanced at the 27 dazzling new coins and wanted to grab them and throw them out the door. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked Sun Jiagan: "Then how do you think this money should be cast?" Four coppers and six lead." Sun Jiagan said, "Although the quality is poor, and the calligraphy and painting are only slightly blurred, it has eliminated a major evil in the money law. It is beneficial to the country and the people. Why not do it? Seek the emperor's holy advice. !”
Yongzheng's eyes flashed for a moment, and then dimmed.I just met my elder brother, and I still have plausible words. The holy ancestor and myself are "right and wrong". In the blink of an eye, the ratio of copper and lead in the holy ancestor's coins was changed. Who knows what kind of rumors these jealous brothers will create. ?According to the ancient rite of "a father's death, a son will not change his way for three years", Kangxi's rules are not allowed to change in the slightest during the three years. If there is a rush, the court full of dry wood will turn into a sea of flames.Yongzheng knew very well that his virtues were not enough to convince the public, but because the authority bestowed by Kangxi overwhelmed everyone, it was not easy to barely maintain the current situation.If one is not careful, the huge "Baye Party" forces of the ruling and opposition parties and the Five Banners nobles under their leadership will jointly attack him, and his "emperor" will be reduced to powder!Thinking about it, Yongzheng had already made up his mind, and giggled and said with a smile: "I thought you were really talented! It turned out to be nothing more than that! The Emperor Shengzu reigned for 61 years, and he used copper and lead to make money every year. In half, the prosperous Xi Dynasty has been created! You are a petty official, dare to talk about the great affairs of the court, and dare to say that you are innocent? I think you are young, Meng Lang is ignorant, and it is because of official business that you have to fight against your superiors. Constitutional disputes, so I will not punish you severely. You will be removed from the title of the head of the Yunnan-Guizhou Division of the Ministry of Households, and you will go back to wait for election, and you will be fined for half a year. It is ridiculous. I have so many important military and state affairs waiting to be handled, but I have listened to you for half a day. Nonsensical arguments!" Seeing that Sun Jiagan was still going to reply, Yongzheng shouted: "Go on! It's good to read a few books before you come to chat with me!"
Seeing that Sun Jiagan limped out of the hall and walked away in a huff, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief silently.Yun Xiang blinked, wanting to say something fair for Sun Jiagan, looking at Yong Zheng's face, he didn't dare to open his mouth.Zhang Tingyu was cunning and scheming, and he had clearly seen the deep meaning of Yongzheng's off-topic, but he adhered to the silent saying that "everything is worthwhile, it is better to be silent", and he refused to say a word.However, Longkodo felt that Sun Jiagan's words were justified, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Although Sun is presumptuous, I think he has no selfish intentions, but he is only thinking about the court, and the money law he discussed is not unreasonable. I hope the Holy Majesty will abandon his wrongdoing Instead, it seems more appropriate to reduce his memorials to six volumes and to gather ideas."
"I'm exhausted, so I won't discuss this matter today. Our mouths are full of copper, and our words are not righteous. This is not in line with Mencius's righteousness." Yongzheng said with a frown, "The most important thing at the moment is for the general Wang Yun to return to Beijing. If there is a vacancy, we must quickly choose a competent replacement. Shandong suffered a severe drought in autumn last year. The provincial chief envoy delivered a memorial the day before yesterday, saying that more than 300 people have died of freezing and starving. Great? You and Tingyu go to the upper study, discuss a relief method, send an appropriate person to stockpile food, see if there are similar situations in other provinces, and write a report together—well, now it’s—" He looked Glancing at the chiming clock, "It's the time card at the end of the application. I'll give you half an hour to eat. At Haishi in the evening, use the yellow box to ask the eunuch to hand it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and you can go home." , Yongzheng said with a smile: "Yunxiang, it's been a long time since we talked alone - we brothers want to order wine and food, how about we play a game together while eating?"
Emperor Yongzheng was a cold person, he didn't eat alcohol and was not greedy for sex. He didn't have much hobbies for entertainment, eating and drinking. He only liked Go occasionally, which was also a terrible shit game.Yunxiang is the king of chess in Agoli, and Huang Wenzhi, the national player, can only spare two of his sons. Yunxiang snatched black pieces, while trying to make a draw, looking at Yongzheng's face, he said: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about Zhang Tingyu all the time." If more than half of the court's taxes are taken from the difference in the exchange rate of money, those unscrupulous officials will take it... This is not a problem after all!"
"No more! It's always a draw, it's boring." Yongzheng threw the pieces in his hand into the box, stood up, stared at Yunxiang without saying a word.Yunxiang agreed with "yes" and hurriedly stood up.Yongzheng paced silently for a long time, then suddenly said: "Yunyang, do you look down on me?"
Yun Xiang was taken aback, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in bewilderment: "How dare I, the ruler and the minister are divided, and the subordinates do not preside over the superiors. The ministers act according to reason."
"Fart!" Yongzheng spat at Yunxiang, "The more I look at you, the less you look like the former Yinxiang! Dare to speak, dare to do, dare to be angry and dare to laugh—the Holy Patriarch personally bestowed the title 'Desperate Thirteen Langs'!" Yun Xiang hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, and said: "This time, the situation is different——" Before he finished speaking, Yongzheng punched the chessboard with a "bang", black and white pieces, the chess box, and the fruit cups and wine placed around the chessboard. But all the weapons danced high, "I still want the old Thirteen Lang! I want you to be my Thirteen Taibao!" The eunuchs and maids of the Hall of Mental Cultivation have been serving the new master for a month, and they have never seen him. He was furious.Seeing that Yongzheng's eyes were burning with anger, and he glared at Yunxiang with a ferocious expression on his face, everyone was stunned.In Xingnian, when Li Dequan lost his temper when Kangxi lost his temper, they would rush to the study to ask the ministers to come over to rescue them, but they didn't have any confidence in Yongzheng's character, and they didn't dare to make mistakes and follow the old rules.
Yunxiang's black pupils were bright, then he lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you know, our clan's flesh and blood, since August 45th, 14th year of Kangxi, ten brothers and others have made a big disturbance in the imperial garden, for a whole day. I have been tossing for 14 years! For this dragon chair, in order to remove this thorn in my side, some people set traps to harm me several times, and some people sent people to kill me with poison. You all know. I have been walking on thin ice for 37 years, and I have been careful every step of the way. , still followed other people’s rules, and was imprisoned in a living coffin by his father for eight years..." His voice had become choked and he couldn't control himself, "... Your Majesty... I crawled out of the thorn bushes, oily... Get out of the pot, the person who escaped from hell! Look at my hair, more than half of it is white! Have you ever thought about it, I am only [-] years old this year! How can you expect that dead Thirteen Lang to return to the sun? Woolen cloth?……"
"Thirteenth brother..." Yongzheng was deeply moved by his words like weeping and complaining. He stepped forward and took Yunxiang with both hands, his voice became a little hoarse, "It's the fourth brother who thought wrong."He patted Yunxiang on the shoulder, wandered around the room with his hands behind his back, and said with a long sigh: "Your brother is too sad, I have been thinking too much these days, and I didn't take your state of mind into account, I just want to cheer you up..." Yunxiang hurriedly Wiping his tears and bowing, he said, "I understand..." "You don't fully understand." Yongzheng sighed, "If you really understand, you should cheer up! You must know that I am roasting on the stove now, and you can't understand it at all." Still in the thorn bushes!"
Yunxiang raised his head all of a sudden, stared at Yongzheng in astonishment, and said, "Please give me a clear instruction from the emperor!"
"I think a lot about keeping the spirit these days." Yongzheng looked outside the courtyard, the sky had already darkened, the cold wind blew past, making the iron horses beside the bunting jingle, his eyes seemed to penetrate the thousands of layers of the palace Looking out at the wall, he stared intently, and said slowly: "Norbu Zang Tenzin of Qinghai and Arab Butan of Jungar have met in secret three times. They have resigned from the title of prince conferred by the imperial court and proclaimed themselves Khan. In fact, they have already reversed their position." .For things here, it is inevitable to use troops to rejuvenate the army. But fighting in the west is actually fighting for money and food, and the 'battlefield' is in the rear! But our treasury only has less than 1000 million silver deposits. What is this enough for? Money, I gave up to that corrupt official, the late emperor was in power, we two just concentrated on this mission, chasing after the deficits of the provinces, what was the result? I was dismissed from the mission, and you were banned!" Yun Xiang couldn't help asking "Since that's the case, why does the emperor still reprimand Sun Jiagan?" Yongzheng turned his face and said word by word: "Because his statement was made too early, I can't just give someone a handle as soon as he ascends to power, and give someone with ulterior motives Take advantage of this opportunity! As for Sun Jiagan, he is a censor, and I will give him an order in a few months."
As soon as Yunxiang heard it, he understood that "someone" refers to the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, who are powerful in the government and the public. He couldn't help secretly admiring Yongzheng's scheming, and said: "Long live the holy candle, Foresight is far-sighted, and the subject understands and accepts!" "Sit, sit!" Yongzheng pointed to Muzi and told Yunxiang to sit down, and he himself sat cross-legged on the kang, saying politely: "Nowadays, there are so many evils in the world, what do I not know? Officials are corrupt, no officials are not corrupt, and officials form cliques and gangsters. Huang Ama was already heartbroken by this when he was in his old age. However, in his later years, his health was poor and his body was tired. If I don’t do these things, why does the Qing Dynasty think so? Country? If I do things, who will you help if you don’t help? So you can’t retreat bravely, I have too few helpers and too many obstacles, even for your own wealth and life, you have to cheer up!” Yun Xiang said, The blood all over his body surged up, moved and ashamed, Huo Di got up and said: "From now on, I will live and die, but the emperor will follow! I will invite the former enemy, and I am willing to go to Qinghai to join Luobu Zangdan in a chariot Yes, after a great victory, all evils will be avoided! At that time, Long Live will be able to free up his hands to clean up the officials!"
"Well! What I want is your great ambition!" Yongzheng also stood up, staring at Yunxiang with piercing eyes, "But you can't go to Qinghai, one is that I can't go without an escort, and the other is you If you go, some people will say, "Why don't you let the Fourteenth Master go?" It will cause disputes in the court. You stay and take care of me. I have sent an edict, ordering Fang Bao, the former minister of the study, to enter Jing, with Tingyu and the others, things will be much easier!" Seeing Zhang Tingyu coming in with the memorial in his arms, Yongzheng waited for him to put the documents away, and before he could salute, he said, "Hengchen, you draft two edicts!"
Zhang Tingyu didn't expect that Yunxiang hadn't quit yet. Seeing his brother's lively conversation, Zhang Tingyu was regretting that he had come too early. He listened to Yongzheng's order and hurriedly agreed.
"Wang Yunshi, the original general, took the throne of Jin County, and rewarded the prince's salary." Yongzheng said, "The remaining general is missing, that is, Nian Gengyao, governor of Gansu and Shanxi, will take the throne and take office after seeing your Majesty in Beijing."
This is a very simple imperial edict, which Zhang Tingyu wrote with one stroke, and presented the draft with both hands.While looking at the manuscript, Yongzheng said: "Yunxiang has done many jobs in the hands of the late emperor, all of which were beautiful. The late emperor said to me many times that 'Yinxiang is my family's thousand-mile horse', and I have long been deeply in love with it. Knowing him, and now he is going to the study to be the counselor Jishu, I think it is right to give a prince a three-eyed flower feather—Yunxiang, please don’t resign—Tingyu, just embellish it according to this meaning!" Go back to your seat, stand in front of the case and wait.Zhang Tingyu is very sensitive in writing, the emperor said, and he was already beating the manuscript. When Yongzheng finished speaking, he did not add a little bit of thinking and writing, and the writing was as fast as the wind and rain, and it was completed in an instant. :
According to the imperial edict of Fengtian Chengyun, the former thirteenth Baylor Yunxiang was loyal, honest and capable, diligent in the king's affairs. ", I also know his ability well in the mansion.Today, Yunxiang was granted the title of Prince Yi by the Jin Dynasty, and he admired the three-eyed flower feather to show the holy intention of the imperial court to praise loyalty and meritorious deeds.This!Yongzheng nodded in satisfaction after seeing it, and said, "That's it, I will use the seal tonight and send it out tomorrow, Yunxiang's Mingfa, Nian Gengyao's court post."
"Heng Chen," Yun Xiang's eyes glowed brightly under the candle, "last time we discussed that the investigation of deficits will be suspended during the national funeral, so the original plan of six departments and [-] officials to search property has stopped. Once the funeral is over, things will continue as usual Do it, the court will go down tomorrow, you will inform the Shuntian Mansion, the infantry command the yamen, and ask them to come to my mansion, and I will give them an assignment."
Zhang Tingyu glanced at Yun Xiang who had been sluggish for many days in surprise, and for some reason suddenly became so energetic, he quickly called Qian'er and said: "Follow the constitutional order of Prince Yi, and I will obey it!"
"These are these country moths, so don't be merciless." Yong Zheng interjected, "I haven't cleared them for a while, I'm afraid some property has been transferred, and we have to chase after them fiercely, just to prevent them from committing suicide, and not afraid that he will go bankrupt!"
"tie!"
"Kneel down!"
"tie!"
Yongzheng personally sent the two of them out of the palace, stood on the altar and took a deep breath of the cool air, like a man made of iron, stood there for a long time.
(End of this chapter)
All elder brothers accompanied Yongzheng to lunch, except for the third elder brother Yunzhi, the fifth elder brother Yunqi, and the eighth elder brother Yun who were reserved and self-respected and refused to be presumptuous, the rest of them were all rude and gorged themselves in front of Yongzheng. So, everyone was sweating from eating - only had some vegetarian snacks in front of the funeral in the morning, and this guy was really hungry - Yongzheng was very particular about etiquette, and he hated these dirty ghosts from the bottom of his heart. Smiling and persuading everyone to "use more", he grabbed a few chopsticks of bean curd skin and mixed it with vermicelli to eat, then washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, smiled and saw that everyone was full, got up and said: "I'm tired of talking, brothers, come in anytime if you have something to do!"
So everyone got up one after another, wiped their mouths and picked their teeth, knelt and thanked each other in a chaotic noise, and dispersed in a hurry.Because Yunxiang was also on the mission to go to the study, he was in charge of the defense of the Forbidden City. With this status, he had the responsibility to protect the emperor's safety, so he refused to attend the banquet, and only stood behind Yongzheng to wait.After the banquet, Yunxiang sent the elder brothers to Dan Chi on behalf of Yongzheng. In a blink of an eye, he saw Longkodo standing in front of the East Side Hall, and said with a smile: "Old Long, you came here earlier? Why didn't you come in?" Longko Duo was about to start a conversation, when he saw Yongzheng walking out of the hall, he hurriedly stepped forward and called Qianer and said, "I'm here to send new money to Lord Long Live." As he said, he raised the yellow paper bag in his hand and presented it.
"Hmm." Yongzheng looked a little dazed, he didn't go to pick up the money, but shouted towards the East Side Hall: "Li Dequan!"
"Your servant is here!" Li Dequan had already seen Yongzheng coming out through the glass, and when he heard the call, he rushed out and beat Qian'er down, "What is the master's intention?" Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Call Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi over here." Li Dequan agreed , just got up, Long Kedo apologized and said with a smile: "If you go back to the master, Ma Qi has already retired, and Zhang Tingyu is meeting the county magistrate who came to Beijing to introduce him. Come in to see the master when you speak."
Only then did Yongzheng take the heavy wallet, nodded, and said, "Alright. How many county magistrates are you introducing this time?" Long Kedo hurriedly said, "There are 27 in total, and Ting Yu is giving them Talking about introduction to Yizhu, but Ying Jinger’s matter, I guess it’s over now.” Yongzheng smiled indifferently, stared at Longkoduo and said, “Oh? Ying Jinger’s matter, what do you think?”
Long Keduo looked blank, seeing that Yunxiang didn't dare to answer, the county magistrate introduced the emperor, and it was a matter of kowtow, I really don't know why this nitpicky emperor still wants to find fault?When he was in a daze, Zhang Tingyu came in with a small eunuch holding a stack of memorials. Seeing that he was going to salute, Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "No need, come in." Then he went back into the hall, and everyone had to follow in.Yongzheng went to the West Study Room and sat cross-legged on the kang. He sorted out the memorials sent by Zhang Tingyu with his own hands, and ordered, "Mix more cinnabar, I will stay up all night."Then he smiled at Long Keduo: "You are a nobleman, and you are born in martial arts. I don't blame you if you make a mistake. Although the county magistrate is small, he is an official who is close to the people. The order of the temple requires him to preach to the people. The affliction required him to report to the imperial court. Heaven listens to the people, and heaven sees to the people. They have to do business and be the eyes and ears of the court. This level of officials is the most important. Therefore, the introduction cannot be as usual, a large group of people come in , Kowtow to listen to the training and walk. I want to meet one by one, and pass the exam one by one." As he spoke, he opened the yellow paper bag to look at the money.
"Long live," Zhang Tingyu said with a bow, "I think diligence is important, but the eighteen provinces, the world is so big, each province lacks more than [-] people, plus candidates, waiting for election, it is really cumbersome , interviewed one by one, passed the exam..." "You don't have to say any more." Without raising his head, Yongzheng looked at the copper coins on the table and said, "Then meet three at a time—let's take a look at the coins first." Why do you see that the fineness of these three kinds of money seems to be different?"
Only then did everyone pay attention to the money. There were three small bags in a big bag, each with nine sample coins, a total of 27 coins. Can't see any difference.Yongzheng pointed to the first row, then pointed to the third row, and asked: "The money in the third row is not as clear as the calligraphy and painting in the first row!"
"Oh!" Long Kedo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Your Majesty, there is a difference here. In fact, no matter how carefully you look at it, the second row is not as good as the first row. The three rows of copper coins are not a model. The first The row is called "ancestral" money, which is cast to save the imperial archives; the model is embossed with ancestral money, and the second row is called "mother" money, and a large number of mother money is cast and printed, and the third row is "child money". , It is the money that is common all over the world. Because of repeating it twice, Ziqian calligraphy and painting are naturally not as good as ancestor money." Yongzheng laughed and said: "Pay attention to everything and learn. Unexpectedly, you, Uncle Qiuba, have reversed the money law!" He said with a smile thoughtfully. He got up, took two steps on the ground, and suddenly asked: "That Sun Jiagan, why did you get into a fight with the Minister of the Household Department? It's also because of unclear calligraphy and painting?"
Yunxiang and Longkodo didn't know the whole story, they looked at each other without daring to answer, and said, "I just asked someone to ask me. It's not because the calligraphy and painting are unclear, because copper and lead are used to cast money, and Sun Jiagan is the head of the Yunnan Guizhou Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. There was a statement that the minister of the household department should submit it to the imperial court. Ge Dahun said that he was troublesome, but he refused to accept it. The two of them talked back in the lobby of the household department. It's getting big."
"Both of them are bastards!" Yongzheng yawned, looked at the money on the case again, suddenly changed his mind, and asked Zhang Tingyu, "Is this person surnamed Sun safe?"
"No."
"Let him come to see me."
Zhang Tingyu looked at Yongzheng in surprise, and hurriedly agreed to go out to deliver the decree.Yongzheng looked at the chiming clock with a smile, and said, "It's time for the card to be closed. Is Yunxiang starving? Xingnian, I'll bring you two plates of snacks for Lord Thirteen!" Then he sat down to watch the memorial, Zhang Tingyu and Long Kodo stood beside him cautiously, not daring to vent his breath.Yongzheng flipped through a few papers, pressed them down, and picked up another copy to examine for a long time. He saw a young official in his 20s come in, and ignored him. He let him participate in the ceremony, but turned to Long Kedo: "This Shi Yizhi wrote a reference, saying that Nuo Min, the governor of Shanxi Province, concealed the deficit. Do you know about this?"
"Back to the emperor," Long Kedo hurriedly bowed, "Shanxi's deficit has been filled in 56 years of Kangxi. At that time, the emperor was in charge of the household department to check it out. Is there anything wrong with it? But Shi Yizhi is upright, he is really a clean official, He is the supervisory censor, and he allowed rumors to play out, even if it is not true, it is for the public, and it seems that it is not a big mistake. Please learn from the emperor!" Although he said both things, in fact, everyone present understood that Nuo Min and Shi Yizhi belonged to Shaanxi and Gansu. It was recommended by Governor Nian Gengyao, and Nian Gengyao is the current Emperor's most trusted vassal mansion. Yunxiang was chewing his snacks slowly on the small table next to him, but he said in his heart: "Slippery—this old loach!"
Only then did Yongzheng look at the young official kneeling in front of the kang, the mending clothes outside the robe with eight pythons and five claws had been stripped off, there was no red tassel on the big hat, the top of the clam was also taken off, and a button on the collar was taken off. It was probably pulled off when he was wrestling with Ge Dahun, with a pair of goldfish eyes and an unflattering hooked nose on a face like a wax gourd.Yongzheng glanced at it, feeling disgusted immediately. While drinking tea and staring away, he asked, "Your name is Sun Jiagan? When did you transfer to the account department? Why haven't I seen you?"
"Back to Long live." Sun Jiagan bumped three heads heavily under the gold bricks, and said loudly: "I was a Jinshi in the 60th year of Kangxi, and I was assigned to the Ministry of Households for three months after being a candidate in the Ministry of Rites. Long live Lord Longqian returned to his residence, so I am not blessed to know the holy face." Yongzheng sneered: "It may not be a disaster if you don't see me, and it may not be a blessing if you know me. Yes, no matter the foreign officials and Beijing officials, how can you achieve the sixth rank? You don’t know how to drill and manage, and whose career you have followed, and you have risen so fast, are you still restless?” Sun Jiagan said: “Long live back, I tie my hair To be educated, to obey the teachings of the saints, and not dare to be careless about family and private affairs, let alone state affairs and social affairs? During the palace examination, the minister was actually a biography (No. 60), and he was handed out to the Hanlin Academy for his appearance. Ugly, the academician in charge said, "The 4th anniversary of the Holy Ancestor, what do you look like standing in the Qing secret team?"? The official department of the Advisory Council downgraded the head of the household department...Long live still said that the minister is a drill, and the minister does not know what to do How can you play back!" After saying that, tears rolled down like pearls.
So it is!Yongzheng's face darkened, he was a little moved.Immediately smiled and said: "You are inferior to your appearance. In ancient times, there was Zhong Kui Zhong Kui, the man in the story. It is said that Tang Minghuang saw him catch little ghosts and eat them when he was ill. He ordered Wu Daozhi to draw Zhong Kui to catch ghosts. He is ugly and loved by the people. Now there is Sun Jiagan, which is good. Sigh. But a gentleman knows his fate, reading cultivates his character, you are No. 4 in the first class, and your knowledge must be passable. Why are you so Meng Lang, yelling at the officials, wrestling with ministers, and fighting until Xihua Gate——You are too wild Already!"
"Long live," Sun Jiagan asked, looking up, "I wonder if you have seen the newly minted Yongzheng Qian Long live?"
"See you, great!"
"Long live, do you know how much Kangxi money can be exchanged for with one or two foot prints?" Sun Jiagan stared straight at Yongzheng with a firm tone, "Is the money made by Long live for the convenience of the people, or to whitewash the peace?"
Hearing this series of questioning, all the guards and eunuchs in the hall trembled and changed color. Yongzheng called himself "Iron Man" in the mansion. He was known for being mean, jealous, and ruthless. The little sixth-rank hall official!Zhang Tingyu and Long Kedo looked at Yongzheng's increasingly gloomy face, and they looked at each other, trying to relieve his fury, when Yunxiang shouted from the side: "Sun Jiagan, you are talking to Wansui." ? Someone—get out of him!"
"Slow down." Yongzheng had turned his back, and said in deep thought, "I don't blame him for his temperament. Well, according to the official price, one tael of silver can be exchanged for two thousand Wen - what does this have to do with your business?"
Sun Jiagan also realized that he was in disrespect, and hurriedly kowtowed: "I am impetuous by nature, long live to forgive my minister, and I have no place to be grateful. Just now, long live said that the official price is the official price. But now it is not the case. One or two Taizhou footprints are actually the only ones on the market. It can be exchanged for 750 Wen!"
When others heard this, they thought it was a normal thing. Zhang Tingyu, who had been in charge for many years, knew the pros and cons of it well, and his head swelled up like a thunderbolt!Yongzheng said with a smile: "Money is expensive and silver is cheap. It has been in ancient times. What's the big deal? It's worth your fuss! You belong to the Yunnan-Guizhou Company, and you have ordered Yunnan to open more copper and lead and make more money. Wouldn't it be equal?" "Longkodo frowned and said: "It is certainly a way to open more mines, but there are too many miners, and it is easy to cause trouble when they get together, and it is also a headache." Yunxiang asked: "Sun Jiagan, according to your opinion, why is the price of silver and money so high?" Can't be balanced?"
"Back to Lord Thirteen," Sun Jiagan said, "the proportion of copper and lead in Kangxi coins is wrong, half copper and half lead, so the traitors took the money, melted it down and re-smelted it, and made copperware to sell. If you turn over the money, you will get dozens of times the interest." So no matter how much the country exploits mines, it can’t fill this bottomless pit. The collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the inequity of money and money were also a major malpractice. The Lord changed the Yuan to the top, refreshed the politics, and clarified the administration of officials. How can we repeat the same mistakes?”
This matter is actually related to the political situation!Yongzheng didn't understand the truth, and fell into deep thought.Zhang Tingyu saw that Sun Jiagan didn't understand clearly, bowed to the side and apologized with a smile: "Long live, long live the disadvantages here will be clear. The imperial court pays for mining and casting coins, and copper merchants receive money for casting. It is inconvenient for the people to circulate, so they have to use Barter; so the price of money is too expensive for the convenience of the people. This is the second and more important thing. The treasury collects taxes, and what they collect is silver, which is priced at two thousand taels of silver. The price is paid in copper coins, and the filthy officials can exchange two thousand taels of silver for more than two taels of silver, but they only pay one tael to the treasury..."
I see!Before Zhang Tingyu finished speaking, Yongzheng was already convinced: Every year, more than half of the taxes collected by the imperial court fell into the pockets of foreign officials!Thinking of these corrupt officials who were so clever in plundering and exploiting, they were still greedy enough and had to borrow money from the treasury and failed to pay it back for a long time. As a result, the treasury of the household department had 5000 million taels on the books and 800 million in actual possessions... Yongzheng Suddenly his face turned livid with anger. He glanced at the 27 dazzling new coins and wanted to grab them and throw them out the door. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked Sun Jiagan: "Then how do you think this money should be cast?" Four coppers and six lead." Sun Jiagan said, "Although the quality is poor, and the calligraphy and painting are only slightly blurred, it has eliminated a major evil in the money law. It is beneficial to the country and the people. Why not do it? Seek the emperor's holy advice. !”
Yongzheng's eyes flashed for a moment, and then dimmed.I just met my elder brother, and I still have plausible words. The holy ancestor and myself are "right and wrong". In the blink of an eye, the ratio of copper and lead in the holy ancestor's coins was changed. Who knows what kind of rumors these jealous brothers will create. ?According to the ancient rite of "a father's death, a son will not change his way for three years", Kangxi's rules are not allowed to change in the slightest during the three years. If there is a rush, the court full of dry wood will turn into a sea of flames.Yongzheng knew very well that his virtues were not enough to convince the public, but because the authority bestowed by Kangxi overwhelmed everyone, it was not easy to barely maintain the current situation.If one is not careful, the huge "Baye Party" forces of the ruling and opposition parties and the Five Banners nobles under their leadership will jointly attack him, and his "emperor" will be reduced to powder!Thinking about it, Yongzheng had already made up his mind, and giggled and said with a smile: "I thought you were really talented! It turned out to be nothing more than that! The Emperor Shengzu reigned for 61 years, and he used copper and lead to make money every year. In half, the prosperous Xi Dynasty has been created! You are a petty official, dare to talk about the great affairs of the court, and dare to say that you are innocent? I think you are young, Meng Lang is ignorant, and it is because of official business that you have to fight against your superiors. Constitutional disputes, so I will not punish you severely. You will be removed from the title of the head of the Yunnan-Guizhou Division of the Ministry of Households, and you will go back to wait for election, and you will be fined for half a year. It is ridiculous. I have so many important military and state affairs waiting to be handled, but I have listened to you for half a day. Nonsensical arguments!" Seeing that Sun Jiagan was still going to reply, Yongzheng shouted: "Go on! It's good to read a few books before you come to chat with me!"
Seeing that Sun Jiagan limped out of the hall and walked away in a huff, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief silently.Yun Xiang blinked, wanting to say something fair for Sun Jiagan, looking at Yong Zheng's face, he didn't dare to open his mouth.Zhang Tingyu was cunning and scheming, and he had clearly seen the deep meaning of Yongzheng's off-topic, but he adhered to the silent saying that "everything is worthwhile, it is better to be silent", and he refused to say a word.However, Longkodo felt that Sun Jiagan's words were justified, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Although Sun is presumptuous, I think he has no selfish intentions, but he is only thinking about the court, and the money law he discussed is not unreasonable. I hope the Holy Majesty will abandon his wrongdoing Instead, it seems more appropriate to reduce his memorials to six volumes and to gather ideas."
"I'm exhausted, so I won't discuss this matter today. Our mouths are full of copper, and our words are not righteous. This is not in line with Mencius's righteousness." Yongzheng said with a frown, "The most important thing at the moment is for the general Wang Yun to return to Beijing. If there is a vacancy, we must quickly choose a competent replacement. Shandong suffered a severe drought in autumn last year. The provincial chief envoy delivered a memorial the day before yesterday, saying that more than 300 people have died of freezing and starving. Great? You and Tingyu go to the upper study, discuss a relief method, send an appropriate person to stockpile food, see if there are similar situations in other provinces, and write a report together—well, now it’s—" He looked Glancing at the chiming clock, "It's the time card at the end of the application. I'll give you half an hour to eat. At Haishi in the evening, use the yellow box to ask the eunuch to hand it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and you can go home." , Yongzheng said with a smile: "Yunxiang, it's been a long time since we talked alone - we brothers want to order wine and food, how about we play a game together while eating?"
Emperor Yongzheng was a cold person, he didn't eat alcohol and was not greedy for sex. He didn't have much hobbies for entertainment, eating and drinking. He only liked Go occasionally, which was also a terrible shit game.Yunxiang is the king of chess in Agoli, and Huang Wenzhi, the national player, can only spare two of his sons. Yunxiang snatched black pieces, while trying to make a draw, looking at Yongzheng's face, he said: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about Zhang Tingyu all the time." If more than half of the court's taxes are taken from the difference in the exchange rate of money, those unscrupulous officials will take it... This is not a problem after all!"
"No more! It's always a draw, it's boring." Yongzheng threw the pieces in his hand into the box, stood up, stared at Yunxiang without saying a word.Yunxiang agreed with "yes" and hurriedly stood up.Yongzheng paced silently for a long time, then suddenly said: "Yunyang, do you look down on me?"
Yun Xiang was taken aback, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in bewilderment: "How dare I, the ruler and the minister are divided, and the subordinates do not preside over the superiors. The ministers act according to reason."
"Fart!" Yongzheng spat at Yunxiang, "The more I look at you, the less you look like the former Yinxiang! Dare to speak, dare to do, dare to be angry and dare to laugh—the Holy Patriarch personally bestowed the title 'Desperate Thirteen Langs'!" Yun Xiang hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, and said: "This time, the situation is different——" Before he finished speaking, Yongzheng punched the chessboard with a "bang", black and white pieces, the chess box, and the fruit cups and wine placed around the chessboard. But all the weapons danced high, "I still want the old Thirteen Lang! I want you to be my Thirteen Taibao!" The eunuchs and maids of the Hall of Mental Cultivation have been serving the new master for a month, and they have never seen him. He was furious.Seeing that Yongzheng's eyes were burning with anger, and he glared at Yunxiang with a ferocious expression on his face, everyone was stunned.In Xingnian, when Li Dequan lost his temper when Kangxi lost his temper, they would rush to the study to ask the ministers to come over to rescue them, but they didn't have any confidence in Yongzheng's character, and they didn't dare to make mistakes and follow the old rules.
Yunxiang's black pupils were bright, then he lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you know, our clan's flesh and blood, since August 45th, 14th year of Kangxi, ten brothers and others have made a big disturbance in the imperial garden, for a whole day. I have been tossing for 14 years! For this dragon chair, in order to remove this thorn in my side, some people set traps to harm me several times, and some people sent people to kill me with poison. You all know. I have been walking on thin ice for 37 years, and I have been careful every step of the way. , still followed other people’s rules, and was imprisoned in a living coffin by his father for eight years..." His voice had become choked and he couldn't control himself, "... Your Majesty... I crawled out of the thorn bushes, oily... Get out of the pot, the person who escaped from hell! Look at my hair, more than half of it is white! Have you ever thought about it, I am only [-] years old this year! How can you expect that dead Thirteen Lang to return to the sun? Woolen cloth?……"
"Thirteenth brother..." Yongzheng was deeply moved by his words like weeping and complaining. He stepped forward and took Yunxiang with both hands, his voice became a little hoarse, "It's the fourth brother who thought wrong."He patted Yunxiang on the shoulder, wandered around the room with his hands behind his back, and said with a long sigh: "Your brother is too sad, I have been thinking too much these days, and I didn't take your state of mind into account, I just want to cheer you up..." Yunxiang hurriedly Wiping his tears and bowing, he said, "I understand..." "You don't fully understand." Yongzheng sighed, "If you really understand, you should cheer up! You must know that I am roasting on the stove now, and you can't understand it at all." Still in the thorn bushes!"
Yunxiang raised his head all of a sudden, stared at Yongzheng in astonishment, and said, "Please give me a clear instruction from the emperor!"
"I think a lot about keeping the spirit these days." Yongzheng looked outside the courtyard, the sky had already darkened, the cold wind blew past, making the iron horses beside the bunting jingle, his eyes seemed to penetrate the thousands of layers of the palace Looking out at the wall, he stared intently, and said slowly: "Norbu Zang Tenzin of Qinghai and Arab Butan of Jungar have met in secret three times. They have resigned from the title of prince conferred by the imperial court and proclaimed themselves Khan. In fact, they have already reversed their position." .For things here, it is inevitable to use troops to rejuvenate the army. But fighting in the west is actually fighting for money and food, and the 'battlefield' is in the rear! But our treasury only has less than 1000 million silver deposits. What is this enough for? Money, I gave up to that corrupt official, the late emperor was in power, we two just concentrated on this mission, chasing after the deficits of the provinces, what was the result? I was dismissed from the mission, and you were banned!" Yun Xiang couldn't help asking "Since that's the case, why does the emperor still reprimand Sun Jiagan?" Yongzheng turned his face and said word by word: "Because his statement was made too early, I can't just give someone a handle as soon as he ascends to power, and give someone with ulterior motives Take advantage of this opportunity! As for Sun Jiagan, he is a censor, and I will give him an order in a few months."
As soon as Yunxiang heard it, he understood that "someone" refers to the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, who are powerful in the government and the public. He couldn't help secretly admiring Yongzheng's scheming, and said: "Long live the holy candle, Foresight is far-sighted, and the subject understands and accepts!" "Sit, sit!" Yongzheng pointed to Muzi and told Yunxiang to sit down, and he himself sat cross-legged on the kang, saying politely: "Nowadays, there are so many evils in the world, what do I not know? Officials are corrupt, no officials are not corrupt, and officials form cliques and gangsters. Huang Ama was already heartbroken by this when he was in his old age. However, in his later years, his health was poor and his body was tired. If I don’t do these things, why does the Qing Dynasty think so? Country? If I do things, who will you help if you don’t help? So you can’t retreat bravely, I have too few helpers and too many obstacles, even for your own wealth and life, you have to cheer up!” Yun Xiang said, The blood all over his body surged up, moved and ashamed, Huo Di got up and said: "From now on, I will live and die, but the emperor will follow! I will invite the former enemy, and I am willing to go to Qinghai to join Luobu Zangdan in a chariot Yes, after a great victory, all evils will be avoided! At that time, Long Live will be able to free up his hands to clean up the officials!"
"Well! What I want is your great ambition!" Yongzheng also stood up, staring at Yunxiang with piercing eyes, "But you can't go to Qinghai, one is that I can't go without an escort, and the other is you If you go, some people will say, "Why don't you let the Fourteenth Master go?" It will cause disputes in the court. You stay and take care of me. I have sent an edict, ordering Fang Bao, the former minister of the study, to enter Jing, with Tingyu and the others, things will be much easier!" Seeing Zhang Tingyu coming in with the memorial in his arms, Yongzheng waited for him to put the documents away, and before he could salute, he said, "Hengchen, you draft two edicts!"
Zhang Tingyu didn't expect that Yunxiang hadn't quit yet. Seeing his brother's lively conversation, Zhang Tingyu was regretting that he had come too early. He listened to Yongzheng's order and hurriedly agreed.
"Wang Yunshi, the original general, took the throne of Jin County, and rewarded the prince's salary." Yongzheng said, "The remaining general is missing, that is, Nian Gengyao, governor of Gansu and Shanxi, will take the throne and take office after seeing your Majesty in Beijing."
This is a very simple imperial edict, which Zhang Tingyu wrote with one stroke, and presented the draft with both hands.While looking at the manuscript, Yongzheng said: "Yunxiang has done many jobs in the hands of the late emperor, all of which were beautiful. The late emperor said to me many times that 'Yinxiang is my family's thousand-mile horse', and I have long been deeply in love with it. Knowing him, and now he is going to the study to be the counselor Jishu, I think it is right to give a prince a three-eyed flower feather—Yunxiang, please don’t resign—Tingyu, just embellish it according to this meaning!" Go back to your seat, stand in front of the case and wait.Zhang Tingyu is very sensitive in writing, the emperor said, and he was already beating the manuscript. When Yongzheng finished speaking, he did not add a little bit of thinking and writing, and the writing was as fast as the wind and rain, and it was completed in an instant. :
According to the imperial edict of Fengtian Chengyun, the former thirteenth Baylor Yunxiang was loyal, honest and capable, diligent in the king's affairs. ", I also know his ability well in the mansion.Today, Yunxiang was granted the title of Prince Yi by the Jin Dynasty, and he admired the three-eyed flower feather to show the holy intention of the imperial court to praise loyalty and meritorious deeds.This!Yongzheng nodded in satisfaction after seeing it, and said, "That's it, I will use the seal tonight and send it out tomorrow, Yunxiang's Mingfa, Nian Gengyao's court post."
"Heng Chen," Yun Xiang's eyes glowed brightly under the candle, "last time we discussed that the investigation of deficits will be suspended during the national funeral, so the original plan of six departments and [-] officials to search property has stopped. Once the funeral is over, things will continue as usual Do it, the court will go down tomorrow, you will inform the Shuntian Mansion, the infantry command the yamen, and ask them to come to my mansion, and I will give them an assignment."
Zhang Tingyu glanced at Yun Xiang who had been sluggish for many days in surprise, and for some reason suddenly became so energetic, he quickly called Qian'er and said: "Follow the constitutional order of Prince Yi, and I will obey it!"
"These are these country moths, so don't be merciless." Yong Zheng interjected, "I haven't cleared them for a while, I'm afraid some property has been transferred, and we have to chase after them fiercely, just to prevent them from committing suicide, and not afraid that he will go bankrupt!"
"tie!"
"Kneel down!"
"tie!"
Yongzheng personally sent the two of them out of the palace, stood on the altar and took a deep breath of the cool air, like a man made of iron, stood there for a long time.
