Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 79: The Hall of Yangxin proposed to grant the title of Nian Gengyao to the Prince’s Mansion and was reprimanded

One month after the victory in Xining, Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi's joint memorial arrived again.Nian Gengyao sat in Xining according to the order, and General Fenwei Yue Zhongqi led an army of 5000 westwards to pursue and suppress the remnants of Lobu Zangtenzeng.At this time, Qinghai is in a world of ice and snow, with no food and grass, no tents and no organizational structure. The army of Rob Zang Tenzin has actually become a mob, running around like headless flies, but they can't escape. A well-laid net.Yue Zhongqi's soldiers were recharging their energy in Sichuan. Seeing that Nian Gengyao had won the first prize, everyone held their breath and wanted to compete with Yongzheng. All of the 22 troops were strong and strong men, and the supply of food and grass was sufficient. , It's really a horizontal knife and a horse, running thousands of miles, like entering a land without people.In just [-] days, the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Lobu Zang Tenzin, Chula Kenomqi, Arabutan Ombu, Zangbazamu and Dalamuzuo, were captured alive. My sister was not spared either.On February [-], the second year of Yongzheng, Luobu Zangdanzeng led thirteen women in disguise to break through the encirclement and flee westward to Khalkha Mongolia. A war in western Xinjiang that affected the new Yongzheng Dynasty came to an end.

"I have finally lived up to the spirit of the holy ancestor in heaven!"

After receiving the battle report, Yongzheng immediately summoned Yun, Yunxiang, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and Longkodo in the upper study.While pacing, he sighed, "If the old man is here, I might be so happy!" It was already the third day of March, the Jade Emperor's Christmas day.Yongzheng had just burnt incense in the Qin'an Hall, and he was still dressed in court clothes, Shi Qingjiang silk with a golden dragon coat and a Shi Qingjiang silk lambskin coat.Although his brows were tightly wrinkled, he still couldn't hide a smile on the corner of his mouth.Probably because of excitement, and the room was too hot, he took off the blue felt and satin dais crown, caressed his shaved forehead, paced with a rattling sound, and said slowly: "You have all read the good news, and the proposal Discuss the aftermath of Qinghai, if you have any insights, just say it casually, don't be rigid, let Zhang Hengchen and Mr. Gui Zonger draw up a few!"

"Your Majesty, I can say that I have given a sigh of relief for the holy grandfather." Yun is the chief auxiliary prince, so he naturally had to speak first. It is said that the first emperor also summoned us here. His old man's face was gloomy, and he kept staring west, as if he wanted to see through this palace, this wall, and this cloudy mountain! Even now, when I think about it, I still can't forget it. Get rid of that miserable scene!" Then he wiped away his tears.Yongzheng nodded and sighed, "What the old eighth said is true. Except for Yunxiang and Longkodo, we were all present." Yun nodded while listening intently, and when Yongzheng finished speaking, Fang Xu said: "So I think the first thing , Ask a good student from the Hanlin Academy to write an article to pay homage to the late emperor."

This is the proper meaning in the question, and everyone nodded in agreement.Yun looked up, leaned back and said: "This battle was fought quickly and won neatly. The 20 soldiers under Nian Gengyao really have made great contributions to the country, and they have worked hard enough. The minister thought that he should send a minister of the study room or Prince Baylor, immediately go to work in the army. Propagate the emperor's merits and decrees. What kind of merits should Nian Gengyao deserve? Long live the holy judge!" Yongzheng held his chin, pondered for a long time, and asked Ma Qi: "Among the elders of the Xi Dynasty? You have been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for the longest time, and the eighth younger brother used to manage the Lifan Academy, and we are not very familiar with the regulations. According to your opinion, how should Nian Gengyao reward meritorious deeds?"

"The country rewards achievements with nobles." Ma Qi coughed lightly, "Nian Gengyao's battle seems to be able to compete with Shi Langhai's conquest of the Zheng family. I think he should be promoted to a first-class earl." Long Ke Duo twisted his beard. After pondering, he said: "A nobleman rewards meritorious deeds, and a job assigns one's ability. This is an eternal principle. From the perspective of slaves, Nianmou not only has meritorious service, but in fact he has both military and civil affairs, and he can be regarded as a top-ranking capable person. Speak from your heart , Zhao Shenqiao, we are all old, and Tingyu is too busy with affairs alone, so it is right to transfer Nian Gengyao into the study to serve as a counselor."

He has proposed to withdraw from the study several times, Yongzheng knew his intentions well, and said with a smile: "It's useful to be old, don't just think about your own affairs. Now this year Gengyao is too busy with business affairs, let alone his position About the matter, just now Ma Qi said that the first-class Earl of Jin, imitating Shi Lang's example, I think it is a bit low. It is what Lao Ba said just now, Nian Gengyao avenged the ancestor, vented his anger, and comforted the ancestor's spirit in heaven. From this point of view, it is not too much to give a king with a different surname!"

"The king with a different surname!" Everyone was shocked, and they all looked up at Yongzheng in astonishment.As soon as Ma Qi woke up, he got up immediately, and was about to speak, when Yongzheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiu Shui, sit down, and listen to me—but 'You must not be king unless you are Liu'. Gengyao may not be a good thing. Besides, if this precedent is set, future generations will not be able to handle it. So I thought, give him Jin Duke, first-class Duke—how about it?"

Several princes and ministers looked at each other uneasily. In the previous year when Kangxi was alive, several special generals, famous generals Tu Hai, Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong, Fei Yanggu, Shi Lang, expanded the territory, and their military exploits were greater than Nian Gengyao. The tall ones were only made Marquises.Talking about Nian Gengyao, in fact, he just put down the chaos in Qinghai province, and he wiped out less than one hundred thousand enemies, and he was granted the first-class title by the Jin Dynasty. Everyone thinks it is a bit too much.But since Yongzheng had said nothing, there was no room for change, so he had no choice but to do so.After a long time, Ma Qi coughed dryly and said: "Then what about Yue Zhongqi? I think you can be a second-class gentleman." When he said this, everyone had no choice but to agree.Yongzheng turned to look at Zhang Tingyu, and said, "What does Hengchen mean?"

"I have no objection." Zhang Tingyu adjusted the corner of his robe calmly, and pondered: "I'm thinking about another thing. The labor force needs to use silver. Each person is calculated as 20 taels. The army needs about 500 million taels; the capital Zhili, the family members of soldiers in the army in Shandong, Henan, and Sichuan, each household has five taels, and there are also civilian husbands who transport grain and grass, and the government roads in charge of grain and payment in various places must also be rewarded. It’s not enough without 800 million silver.” At this point, he paused, frowned, and said: “Qinghai province has been corrupted for several years, and after this catastrophe, people’s livelihood will be revived, and officials will be settled. Without 300 million silver, it’s not enough. The spring famine is approaching, the capital is short of 100 million stone grain, and the silver used for disaster relief in northern Jiangsu, Henan, and Gansu, I still can't figure out how much silver I need for a while... With such a large amount, it will cost several silver coins in Beijing, Changping, and Shunyi. The treasury has been vacated, and if there is another place to use the money, this famine will be difficult to fight.”

Yongzheng was very happy, his heart sank when he said it, he took a breath silently, and asked Yunxiang, "How much is the real amount of silver in the household department?" "Thirty-seven million." Yunxiang also raised a smile A dark cloud, with a slightly gloomy smile, "Lao Jun is still enough." Then he remained silent.Yun thought about it, and said with a smile: "Hengchen can really spoil the fun. There is such a big victory ahead, and it is not too much to spend a few dollars. Let's just say it, Nian Gengyao led the army to return triumphantly, pay the bills along the way, and celebrate with the whole country. Bo Hai’s reunion can’t be done without expenses. Xiaojiazi has some celebrations, and they have to spend a few, let alone our Huanghuang Tianchao? In my opinion, it’s not too much to spend 700 million.” He said I want to make the atmosphere hotter, but everyone here is a "personal person". Emperor Kangxi has been in power for 300 years, and he has accumulated 61 million silver. Because of the loan from officials, when he died, the bank treasuries in various places were added together. , the total is only more than 5000 million taels. This year, the deficit was cleared up, and the government and the opposition copied and seized it, forcing many officials to have nowhere to go, and finally restored it to more than 700 million taels. It is really called the meat of these ministers who took out so much at once. pain.Long Kedo felt that he had been silent for too long, so he bowed and said, "Twenty taels for each soldier is too much, I think ten taels is enough." Ma Qi, Yun, and Yunxiang also insisted on their own opinions. There were discussions.

"The servants from the Ministry of Rites will take care of it, and save as much as you can," Ma Qi said.Yun said: "All the princes in Beijing, Baylor and Beizi, can donate some silver." Yun Xiang immediately pushed back, "I originally called for the repayment of the national debt, but everyone has already complained to the sky, and if they ask to donate silver, there will be trouble."

Yongzheng raised his face and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said, "It's such a happy event, I didn't expect to discuss so many difficult problems. Well, there is still some silver deposits in the House of Internal Affairs, and I have set aside 200 million. I would rather choke on it." A little bit, don't make your subordinates feel wronged. 20 taels per soldier seems to be a lot, but it is an 'average'. From generals to thousand generals, ten-man commanders, and corporal leaders, if they are deducted from the soldiers, they will fall at most Five or six taels, do you dare to go any less?"

"Long live is talking about it." Yun smiled. "It is to comfort the families of the sergeants and pay for the fallen soldiers. There is also a way of deducting layers. The minister said 300 million, which is already tight, and then split it into two." Not only is it difficult, but it’s not decent, and the face of the court is important.” Yongzheng thought for a while, and said: “This matter is settled, and we don’t discuss finances today. Tell me, who will go to Xining to work in the army?” Yun saw that everyone said no for a while. No one was selected, so he bowed and said, "According to my subject, I have to go to a prince, regardless of the thirteenth brother or the fourteenth brother, or else I will go? I have never been in military affairs, and I really want to see it." What is the barracks like, what is the battlefield like!"

The blue veins on Yongzheng's cheeks twitched imperceptibly, and he said with a smile: "None of you can go, each of you has his own errands, and you are too busy! Yun Geng couldn't do it, his mother was seriously ill, he yelled and quarreled with me in front of the sick bed, His mother passed away, and he cannot escape the blame! I have already informed Zhang Tingyu of this matter, and ordered to cut off his prince, so I didn’t call him in today’s meeting. When I go to the court later, Lao Ba will go to see him and tell him to put out the fire Sex, go to Zunhua to study and guard the spirit, if you don’t follow the edict, I will imprison him!” A few words were cold and blunt, and Yun blushed immediately, and his lips were trembling. He wanted to say something, and he sighed after a long time: “Mr. ...follow the order."

"As for all the army moving to defend the customs, I don't think it is necessary." Yongzheng said slowly, "Alabutan took in Luobuzang Tenzin, and he was determined to guard against the west. Let me go to the elder brother about the Laojun...well, it is Hong Li, take Tu Lichen and Liu Molin to declare the decree, order Nian Gengyao to lead three thousand soldiers, bring prisoners of war to Beijing in May, and present prisoners at the Meridian Gate. The money in this province is worth a penny To save, don’t save even a penny of the money that should be spent. This matter is in charge of Yunxiang, and Zhang Tingyu is in charge of the government affairs. Old Ba, it is your mission to rectify the flag affairs. I don’t know what you do every day! Look Let us banner people, plant pomegranate trees, raise dogs and have children, receive money and food, go to restaurants, eat tea, play with bird cages, all of them have the ability to hang up, call the real ones to do errands, either muddleheaded or battered. Ze Wushi will be killed. If you don’t care about your career and blindly play with things and lose your ambitions, it’s a matter of great vitality! So you don’t have to worry about other things, manage the banner affairs well, restrain these brothers, and the clan’s children, and you have contributed a lot!”

Yongzheng made a long speech, which suddenly involved military affairs and flag affairs, and everyone was shocked.Wang Jue, who deposed Yun, Yun, and then stripped Yun, simply denounced Yun for not doing enough to "rectify the flag affairs"!Looking at Yun's pale, bloodless face, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It's the old man's turn!" Yun had already stood up and listened to his lesson respectfully, with hatred, regret, anger, sadness, and bitterness in his heart. Looking at Yongzheng who was pacing around leisurely with square steps, I really wanted to kick him over!But he couldn't, and he didn't dare. He swallowed forcefully, forced a smile and said, "Long live is the lesson. In fact, since the holy grandfather personally conquered Zhungeer three times, the Manchu Bannermen have never seen a real battle. They are no longer as capable as the Han Army Green Camp There is a war. I don’t know how many times I have thought about this matter. I have taught them to study, and I have made arrangements for the errands that can be done. There are not so many shortages, and some things are really difficult. I will not drive them all to the countryside. farming?"

"Why not?" Yongzheng immediately pushed back with a livid face, "Han people can farm, but banner people can't? You reminded me that Huairou, Miyun, Shunyi, Daxing and other places in the capital are wasteland. You are called Zongren According to the plan of the government’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Bannermen without errands can open five acres of wasteland each. Isn’t it better than sitting in a teahouse in Beijing to brag? Yes, let’s do it like this!” Probably felt that his tone was too harsh, and Yongzheng let out a sigh of relief. Slowing down his tone, he stepped forward and patted Yun on the shoulder, and sighed: "Don't blame me for losing my temper, I'm just in a hurry! The Eight Banners used to fight across the Central Plains, with one enemy against a hundred. Now it's like this, I'm heartbroken, I don't want to save it A few dollars, the purpose is to prevent our children from being ruined, rotten, and depraved! You have always been expected by everyone, and even others can't do this, I'm looking at you!"

Yunxiang and Yun have been old enemies for decades, but in the "Eight Masters Party", it is the eldest elder brother Yun and the ninth elder brother Yun who are really bullying and humiliating themselves. The tenth elder brother is a firecracker. Come on, the ninth elder brother It was the one who was shaking the feather fan, and the "mynah" who was actually sitting on the flag actually had no personal grievances with him, so he often restrained Yunyun not to go too far.Yongzheng was merciless towards this group of people one by one, he was relieved, but seeing Yunrong's miserable face, waiting to die, thinking about the fact that they are brothers of the same father, he couldn't help feeling compassionate.Yun Xiang thought about it, coughed lightly and said: "Long live, we have discussed the matter of rectifying the flag affairs, myna, and now the Zongxue has been established, and many people have been arranged to work in Huangzhuang. Trouble, no less than bureaucracy. Master, don't worry, let the fire simmer slowly until the pig's head rots. Just follow your order, and we can discuss it again?" Yongzheng took out his pocket watch and said, "Okay Well, this is the end of today's discussion. I want to go in to see Aunt Shiqi, she is also sick. You have urgent matters, I will talk to Mr. Fang in the Hall of Mental Cultivation this afternoon, and you, Yunxiang, will come too. I will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow , go to Henan to see the flood control of the Yellow River. I will make a list of the things I should ask for instructions today and tomorrow, and I will do it after I think about it-kneel down!"

"Zha!" Several ministers got up and knelt down and kowtowed, and dispersed after Yongzheng left.

Yun held back his unknown anger, silently exited Donghua Gate, and had already left Lao Qihua Gate, and suddenly remembered that he was still following the purpose of "persuading the old fourteen", because he stamped his foot in the sedan chair and shouted loudly: "North Jade Emperor Temple, the House of the Fourteenth Lord!"

"Oh, yes—!"

The bearers responded in unison, and slowly turned to the north.With the monotonous and rhythmic creaking of the oak wood car poles, Yun's heart gradually calmed down.This place is already outside the city of Beijing, and there is no need to enter the city again to get to Yunfu, all you need to do is go north along the official road beside the moat, and go west two arrows from the east corner gate.It was mid-spring and March at that time. Looking through the sedan window, to the west was the dark and tall Beijing city wall, gloomy and lifeless. Dark red and bright green moss covered the bricks of the old city that had gone through vicissitudes for hundreds of years. It gives people a strange and mysterious sense of depression. Weeds and spring grass grow side by side on the sawtooth-like castellation pheasants, winding to the distance, as if to tell people something, only the rippling spring water below the city, the green shore willows, a little Bring some vitality.But looking to the east, it seems to be another world, the vast wilderness, and the dark green wheat fields reaching to the sky.People walking in the fields helped the old and the young, pointing, talking and laughing; the village girl carrying a basket to scoop out wild vegetables held a small shovel in her hand and lowered her head to search among the ridges. laughter.On the other hand, most of the children in the Zongjiao are flying kites, some are breathing heavily, some are running while dragging kites that don’t want to take off, some are teased by their parents, sitting on their heads. For those who watched the kites in the sky, there were also quite a few childish children sucking their fingers and looking this way... It was a scene of prosperity and joy in the world.Yunji looked at the peach grove in the distance, he took a deep breath, wanted to say something, moved his lips, put down the car window curtains, and stroked his forehead just in thought.After an unknown amount of time, the big sedan chair stopped flickering and landed steadily on the ground. He Zhuer said cautiously outside, "My lord..."

"Well?"

"It's already there."

"Well."

Yun agreed vaguely, bent down and got out of the sedan chair, and looked at the majestic Fourteenth Baylor Mansion. There were five rows of green bricks on the main entrance of the mansion, and the door was closed with gold paint and vermilion steel nails. There seemed to be more than a dozen palace guards standing there, and there was no sound in front of the door. There were only a few tall weeping willows next to the wall, with willow silk hanging straight to the ground. Several palace chiefs stood beside the Yimen with their hands down.Looking at the main entrance where the plaque "General's Palace" had been removed, Yun seemed to have been pricked by a needle and trembled. Just as he was about to speak, a man dressed in a pen-style dress came over and slapped Yun in front of him. He smiled apologetically and said, "I'd like to pay my respects to the Eighth Master!" "I'm here to see Old Fourteenth." Yun said calmly, "——I came by order!" The post was startled, and he hurriedly said: "I'm here by order. Here you come! Please wait a moment, I will ask the Fourteenth Master to open the middle door to welcome you in..." "No need." Yunyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "I came with an order, but not to declare an edict, so there is no need to be extravagant." He picked up the He walked into the Yimen, walked away, and asked:

"What's your name?"

"Hui Baye, the slave is called Cai Huaixi." See the note on page 2 of this volume, his life experience described here is fictitious.

"When did the Fourteenth Master follow you? In the past, the Fourteenth Master lived on Qipan Street. I often went there. Why haven't I seen you?"

Cai Huaixi led the way, leaned sideways and smiled, "I used to be an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Last autumn, I was assigned here with Qian Yundou to serve the Fourteenth Lord—Walk on the Wangye's side, and the Fourteenth Lord is in the study—in fact, eight The Lord is still the slave's benefactor, but the prince is a noble person, so how can he remember the slave!" Yun stopped, looked at Cai Huaixi with dead eyes, and shook his head.Cai Huaixi said with a smile: "My lord is a well-known 'eight sage kings'. He has done a lot of good things, so naturally he doesn't care. In the 56th year of Kangxi, the family of slaves went to Beijing to visit their relatives, and they were begging for food at Chaoyangmen Wharf. I went out for a walk to see the scenery. It was snowing in the twelfth lunar month of winter. I saw our family panicking under the eaves of the Heshen Temple. The Lord rewarded our family for a meal and asked the slave a few words, so he asked the head of the mansion to send the slave away. Going to work as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." Said, the smile on Cai Huaixi's face was gone, and her eyes were full of tears.Yun stood and thought for a while, he had done many such things, and he really couldn't remember it, so he nodded and sighed: "It seems that he came from a small family with a conscience. The number of officials I give is much bigger than this." There are a lot of people who have nothing to do with your kindness." As he spoke, he walked forward and saw a row of three thatched-roofed mountain houses shaded by lush bamboo groves. Cai Huaixi smiled and said, "This is the study of the Fourteenth Master."

"You just wait here, I'll go in and have a look." Yun smiled and ordered, and walked past the study room, standing on the steps under the eaves and listening quietly, occasionally heard the sound of a Guqin ticking inside, and then stop.Yunzheng was surprised, and a woman's voice came from inside: "This song "Pingsha Luoyan" is hard to die, the score looks like a book from heaven. Fourteenth Master, please forgive me!" Yun couldn't help smiling, listening Yun said: "Success comes naturally. You have such aptitude, but you follow me and you can't play the piano. Wouldn't it be a joke?—Come on, do it again, remember, for this tune of changing signs, first use your little finger to hook this The first string, the thumb of the left hand pressed the king string, and the ring finger wiped the seventh string...don’t worry, you’re much better than before!” Yun didn’t think about it any more, and said outside the door: “Hi fourteenth brother Yaxing!" Stepping in, she saw a young girl in disguise sitting in front of the desk, with a cigarette burning next to her, the fourteenth elder brother Yuncai was wearing a rain-coloured Ningxia silk jacket, without a belt, Half squatting behind the girl, almost teaching her to practice the piano hand in hand, both of them were so busy that their heads were soaked in sweat.Seeing Yun coming in, Yuncai got up, the girl blushed with shame, got up embarrassingly, and stepped back to stand aside.Yun smiled and said: "It's the starling, I was taken aback, I thought the emperor asked the people at the sticky pole to bring me here!"

Yun smiled, stepped forward to take the piano score on the case, and saw that it said:

All are arranged in order of size of copper coins.Yun looked at the girl and said, "This is the tune of "Zheng". There are a lot of things to pay attention to: one mind should not be distracted, the second trial should distinguish the rhythm, the third finger should be facing the back, the fourth finger should be clean, the fifth finger should not overlap, the sixth tone should be light and heavy, the seventh rhythm should be slow and fast, the eighth should be high and low, the ninth string should be in harmony, and the ten should be left and right. You guys are hugging each other like this, can you 'not be distracted'?"

"Mynah is so embarrassing!" Yun couldn't help laughing, "Perhaps mynah has taught others this way, and if he failed to teach, he came to teach me again. Red scarf and green sleeves, beauty and vanilla, I really can't do 'mind is not distracted'—— Cited Di, serve tea to Master Ba!" Only now did Yun know that this girl was the one who caused the case of Tian Wenjing's impeachment of Shanxi Governor Nuo Min, and he couldn't help but look at her curiously, only to see Qiao Yindi wearing a moon white cheongsam with gauze, He was wearing a light green lambskin wind-fur waistcoat, and his thick black hair had been pulled into a "handle head". He had already let his feet go, because he smiled and said, "I saw you in the Ministry of punishment. I didn't expect you to be so graceful. I can't blame you very much." Fourth Master loves you! Can you pretend to be a Xishi in a flag dress? Those in my house are also made of the same material, and they only walk with their chests and belly protruding, so it's not pleasing to look at!" Yun smiled and looked at Yindi, He said to Yun: "mynah thought she was a Han! She is a Manchurian! The bad thing is the 'flowerpot bottom' shoes. I asked my sister-in-law and the others to take off the hard shoes and look at them again. I don't believe it. You go back and try it, you have to walk like this when you put on the 'flower pot bottom'!"

Yun looked at Yindi again, feeling familiar, but couldn't think of who it was, so he asked Yindi: "Are you Manchurian? Isn't your surname Qiao? Which flag?" Yindi looked at Yun coyly, and tiptoed to the ground He lowered his head and laughed: "My mother is Han, I heard her say... I have never met my own father, our mother, mother and daughter fled to Shanxi when we were two years old, and the godfather of the Qiao family adopted us, so we changed I have a surname..." As soon as Yun heard it, he knew in his heart that he didn't know which seed was left behind by a son of a romantic Eight Banners. Blessed. I was worried that your fourteenth master would go to Zunhua, and it would be good if you had no one by your side. Now I am relieved, you went with the fourteenth master—"

"Brother," Yun interrupted Yun coldly, "Tell me to go to Zunhua's secluded residence, I haven't received an order yet! Are you here to be a lobbyist for Yongzheng?" He shook his head with a "wow" A big sandalwood fan, leaning halfway in the chair and shaking gently, stared at Yun no longer speaking arrogantly.Yun was taken aback by his question, got up and took a few steps, seeing a few family members standing outside, she suddenly turned her face and ordered Yindi: "Go out, tell them to stand far away!" Yindi hurriedly agreed and squatted down. Then he walked out.

Yun's eyes shone brightly and he approached Yun with a cold smile on his lips.Yun was frightened by his terrifying expression and trembled, the shaking fan stopped involuntarily, looked at Yun in astonishment, and said, "Mynah...you are—?"

"You refuse to obey the edict?"

"Where is the 'tomb guard'? That's the same as confinement!"

"Even if it's 'banned', you don't obey the edict?"

"Not obeying the edict!"

"The guards of Qianqing Gate came to get you, what should you do?"

"They come and get it. Then, billions of people in the world will see how he, Emperor Yongzheng, treats his brother?"

"Your ninth brother, tenth brother and me, aren't he his real brother? Isn't the second brother his real brother?"

"That's different, I'm his mother!" Yun took a heavy breath, sat up straight, and said, "I just won't go, tell him to kill me, and let everyone know what he is!"

Yun stared at Yun, for a long while, "puchi" smiled, and said: "Old Fourteen, you are not enough! If you do this, people in the world will think we are 'poor' now, and the council of future generations will think we are 'ridiculous'! On the day when things cannot be done, of course we will take this step, now, it is absolutely impossible!" Yun looked away from Yun with depression, and sighed: "This is God's will, and it cannot be done by human beings. Starling, Nian Geng Yao has won the battle, and Yongzheng's political situation has stabilized. He is promoted and promoted, and Nian is willing to let us be in this muddy water? Longkodo, you have also seen it. It's useless at all-you and my brothers are scattered, and the screwdrivers in the past are sycophants, shrinking their heads, shrinking their heads, and losing their butts. Tell me, what kind of chassis do we have, and who can we count on? ?" Yun gritted his teeth, and a hoarse voice burst out two words: "Hongshi."

"Third elder brother!"

"Yes," the muscles under the corners of Yun's eyes bulged slightly, and only at this moment can one see the gambler's look in his gloomy eyes, "Don't forget, you, Yun, Yun are no longer 'Eight Lord Party' , we are all the 'Three Masters Party' now! This is the next round of brothers fighting against each other—everyone's abacus and everyone is playing, and they are all playing the card of Hongshi. Hongshi and Hongli are two 'lords', one 'Gong Baylor is a 'Prince Treasure', if we don't take advantage of this new party struggle, then we will be the number one idiot in the world!"

Yun looked at Yun motionless.Shi Shi got up with some difficulty, stared blankly at the bright spring window, and said, "Brother understands what the starling means. We can't cause trouble for Hongshi for a while, and we must bite the bullet and suffer a little bit. When the time comes, we can't help it." Yongzheng baby, you can't help Hongshi, can you?"

"Amitabha, you have a clear understanding!" Yun clasped his hands together and said gracefully.
