Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 86: Huang Fan has trouble sailing, the golden cicada escapes from the swamp and sneaks back to the capital
Yong met Tian Wenjing on the river project outside Kaifeng, and set off eastward that night.He originally wanted to take a boat down the river, see the river defenses of various places on the way, reach the intersection of the Yellow River and the Canal at the mouth of the Qingjiang River, and then return to Beijing by the canal north.But the royal boat could no longer leave after passing Lankao. In some places, the current was so strong that the dragon boat could not be anchored even when it was anchored; It's all used for stretching, and I can't walk ten miles a day.Zhang Tingyu called the people from the nearby Hebo Office to ask, and only then did he know that the three hundred miles from here to the west of Anhui, since the Yellow River burst in 56 years of Kangxi, the main waterway has long been lost!His surprise was no small matter, and he immediately ordered someone to set up a bridge on Yongzheng's ship to ask for an audience.

"Hengchen, today's residence report and memorial plan are here?" Yongzheng sat cross-legged on the vermilion lacquered wooden kang in the inner cabin, holding a vermilion pen in one hand, and carefully wrote off a memorial, without raising his head, he said, " Stop saluting, sit down, sit down!"

Zhang Tingyu bowed silently, signed his body obliquely and sat on the wooden stilt under the cabin window, until Yongzheng stopped writing, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to watch the river workers anymore, and I want to invite the Emperor to abandon the boat and go ashore, and return to Beijing by land. "Yongzheng held the tube alone and meditated. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Tingyu, and said, "Your complexion is very bad, is your body uncomfortable? Why did you suddenly think of going by land?" Zhang Tingyu forced a smile and said: "I'm fine. , a bit seasick. The emperor’s complexion is not good, so I should work hard. That’s right, I just summoned the people at the riverside station here to ask about it. The waterway for the first few hundred miles is extremely difficult, and there are very few people along the coast. , and the supplies are not enough. Counting the days, if you follow this way, you will not be able to return to Beijing in a month, and the days will be delayed for too long..."

"This is the land of Chen and Cai." Yongzheng said with a smile, "Confucius suffered a lot here in the past, so what's wrong with us monarchs and ministers learning from him? After I return to Beijing, what's the point of waiting a few days to welcome him into the city again? It's good to see it on the ground, and I'll have a good idea after they report on their duties before talking nonsense." Zhang Tingyu leaned back and said, "Master is right. But please think about it, master, if you go forward, you will not be able to hand over the memorial to the mansion later. What is the situation in Beijing and what is the situation in various places? Responsibility. Furthermore, the previous book said that Prince Yi is ill, which is also worrying. It is of course important to inspect the river work, and it is enough for the emperor to send a minister of the household department. Jing, I'll come and see for myself, will it work?"

Yongzheng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already stood up, smiled at Brother Zhang Wu and De Lentai who were standing beside him, "I'm so bored, go and have a look outside the cabin!" He lifted the curtain and came out.Yongzheng was wearing a single gown of stone blue satin and a single gown of blue satin inside, standing at the bow of the boat.On the vast and endless river, the Mengxia wind blew the robe horns and ponytail buttons up high.Looking to the east, under the pale summer sun, the endless yellow water and white sand are eye-catching, extending straight to the sky. Around the old embankment that has been blurred, there are ponds, water pipes, reeds and grasses everywhere, and sparse white thatch feet on the swamp. Someone is tall, rustling in the wind, blending with the whistling of the flowing yellow water of the main river, giving people a feeling of desolation and bewilderment.While watching, Yongzheng thought about Zhang Tingyu's words.Zhang Tingyu was not from his own family, but he was promoted to the position of prime minister by Kangxi Jian from a small official in the ministry. Of course, he couldn't go straight and say anything like Wu Sidao and Li Wei.Although the words are ambiguous, the implication is very clear: if you go forward, in this smoky and impoverished land, the emperor will be separated from the "police".The majestic positive words are afraid of ignoring important military affairs, but they can also be interpreted as any unimaginable situation that cannot be controlled!The muscles in the corners of Yongzheng's eyes trembled, and then he smiled and said, "You have never done river work, so what is the idea of ​​water! Three hundred miles of water and grass roads, and there are so many warships escorting them, what are you afraid of? Just go - get out of here Duanhe Flooded Area, ask the admiral of the Luoyang Navy to report to me the list of meritorious soldiers!" After saying that, he turned around and came back.

"Long live..." Zhang Tingyu followed in with a pale face, and when he wanted to persuade, Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Hengchen, don't say anything, I listen to you. Li Dequan, Xing Nian, and others are left here, and they are still 'serving' This royal boat. You, Fifth Brother, and De Lentai will go ashore tonight, and return to Beijing by land!" Zhang Tingyu's eyes jumped suddenly, with an unconcealable joy flashing in his eyes, and he bowed and said, "Long live Shengming! I will send a message immediately." Tian Wenjing, transfer the guards of Kaifeng Green Camp..."

Yongzheng pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "No need, how could it be so dangerous? Zhang Wuge and De Lengtai are enemies of a hundred people, in a world of peace, and there are bustling towns along the way, why can't they escort you and me?" Zhang Tingyu After a little thought, he bowed his head and said yes.In fact, he thought a little deeper. Yongzheng's political opponents were not among the people but above the temples. It was indeed safer to quietly return to Beijing without the government moving the government.If so, he still called Zhang Wuge De Lengtai and Li Dequan who stayed behind in Yuzhou to his own cabin, and made careful arrangements before he was relieved.

After the second watch of the night, Emperor Yongzheng, disguised as a merchant, took Zhang Tingyu, Hede, and Zhang Er's guards, accompanied by a young eunuch Gao Wuyong, and got off the sampan silently.Abandoned the boat and landed, but didn't follow the way they came, and took Heze, Juancheng, Fanxian, Guantao, Linqing, Dezhou, Fucheng, Jiaohe, Hejian... until Baoding.Because the magistrate of Baoding was a student of Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Tingyu went in person, asked for thirty soldiers, and escorted "Zhang Zhongtang" back to Gyeonggi from afar.When they arrived in Fengtai, the whole journey was safe and sound, so Zhang Tingyu let go of Gao's heart, jumped off the sedan chair, paused on his stumpy feet, and beckoned to Gao Wuyong, "Go to the back and give this letter to Baoding. The people in the government office, their errands are done quickly, so there is no need to follow them anymore, and they will return to Baoding tonight, their government office Liu Futong has a reward of 3000 taels of silver, and this letter is the proof." He said and put a sealed letter Send it over.At this moment, Yongzheng also came down from the front sedan chair and was supported by Zhang Wuge. Seeing Zhang Tingyu's confession, he walked over and asked, "It's still thirty miles away from Xihua Gate. Is there still time to rush in while it's dark? Why did you stop here?"

"Master, look, the sun has set, and we have to fight." Zhang Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed with his finger, "This place is Changchun Garden to the west, and the tall archery tower to the northeast. It is the West Bianmen, and the north is the Baiyun Temple. I bear the full responsibility of the master, and I have to decide where to stay." Brother Zhang Wu and De Lentai couldn't help but glanced at each other. Although they had been with Yongzheng for nearly two years, they had not yet I have had a lot of dealings with Zhang Tingyu. Although Zhang Tingyu is usually reticent and difficult to get close to, no matter whether he is to Kangxi who has become famous or Yongzheng who is in front of him, he is solemn, respectful, respectful and polite. He has never spoken to the emperor in such a tone. of.But looking at Yongzheng, he saw that Yongzheng was not angry, he just paced slowly, and after a while, he said with a smile: "That's natural, it's up to you."

Zhang Tingyu seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking around, looking at the setting sun in the distance.Half of it has been hidden under the solitary high peaks of the West Mountain, and the dark red light has coated the mountain side with a layer of rose purple. The colorful sunset glows extend from west to east one by one, getting lighter and weaker, and gradually darkening the surrounding area. The village trees are shrouded in an incomparably beautiful canopy... At this time, the tired birds have already returned to the forest, and in the misty cooking smoke in the distance, there are groups of crows flying up and down, giving people a feeling of uneasiness in the silence.After a long time, Zhang Tingyu said: "Master, we will stay in Fengtai camp tonight!" He pointed to a large barracks on the left that had already been lit, "Ask Bilita to serve you, and return to Changchun Garden tomorrow!" Yongzheng's eyes were shining brightly. It flashed for a moment, then dimmed, and with a self-conscious smile, he said, "Okay, as I said, it's up to you." Then, he followed Zhang Tingyu and walked towards Dazhai Gate.When Fang Xing shot an arrow, he heard the sergeant in front shout:
"Who, stop!"

Then I saw a military academy coming over, looked the four of them up and down, and asked Zhang Tingyu, "Where did you come from? Who are you looking for? Is there any investigation?" Zhang Tingyu smiled and said, "Bili Tower is very disciplined. You go in and report, Let’s just say that Zhang Tingyu came to visit at night, and if you give this to him, he will naturally understand.” He said, and handed over the small seal that he usually used to review official documents.The military academy took it over and looked at it for a long time, then threw Zhang Tingyu back casually, and said with a straight face: "Our Bi Junmen is not in the camp, and we went to the city at noon today. I don't understand your stuff, anyway. I can't let you go because of the Ministry of War's reconnaissance!" As he spoke, he swaggered away.Zhang Tingyu was very angry and funny, and wanted to catch up to talk. Brother Zhang Wu had sharp eyes, and saw a group of soldiers surrounded by a general coming out to patrol the camp. He called from a distance, "Zhang Yu, come here!"

The general named Zhang Yu looked this way with his eyes open. The sky was already so dark that he couldn't see clearly, so he brought people over. Seeing Zhang Wuge dressed as a pedestrian, he was taken aback for a moment before he recognized him and bowed with a smile. Said: "It turns out to be the fifth brother's military gate! Why are you dressed like this? Please come in and talk, who are these—?" Zhang Wuge looked at Yongzheng's face and said with a smile: "Zhang Zhongtang returned to Beijing from Henan Weifu, the emperor called me He and De Lengtai followed all the way—why, you don’t even recognize Lao De?" Zhang Yu took a closer look and couldn't help laughing: "It's really Lao De! Last time we wrestled..." De Lengtai While protecting Yongzheng, Tai smiled and said, "You Han people can't wrestle. One by one, dogs eat shit." His Chinese is already good, but there are too many sections, which sounds somewhat awkward. He is the first in Mongolia to wrestle. There are probably too many people looking for him to teach the hero, so I don't know Zhang Yu.

Fifth brother Zhang is acquainted with the senior officials of the Bilita camp because he often comes to pass orders. He smiled as he walked, "Old Bi is really not in the camp? It's ridiculous to be your watchdog. Look at our inconspicuous clothes." Zhang Zhongtang’s seal for going to the study is not as good as that of the Ministry of War, and it will be a big joke to spread it out tomorrow!” Zhang Yu glanced at Yongzheng who was walking silently and bowed his head, and said with a smile: “Zhang Junmen has wrongly blamed him. Bi Junmen is indeed not in the camp. Long Zhongtang called in yesterday to discuss matters. He called again today, but he didn’t know what he said. Bi Junmen’s face was very ugly at night. Before leaving If you have a word, regardless of public or private matters, no release will be allowed without the cooperation of the Ministry of War.”

"Bilita is really not in the camp?" Zhang Tingyu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and stood still, "Should we still go to Lao Long's meeting? The Thirteenth Master will host it, or Long Kedo will host it?"

"Returning to Zhongtang, the Thirteenth Lord is not feeling well and is recuperating in the Qingfan Temple. Bi Junmen went to the Yamen meeting of the infantry commander. Naturally, Long Zhongtang presided over it."

"What's the meeting?"

"Zhongtang, I don't know about my humble position."

Zhang Tingyu said "hmm", exchanged glances with Yongzheng and continued to walk forward. Seeing the lights in the Chinese military conference hall in front of him, and a dozen generals sitting in the hall talking, he hesitated again: "These military commanders themselves have Some have seen it, some haven't, and the names and faces don't match. If you break in at this time, and you have nothing to say, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Thinking about it, you have an idea, and said: "We won't discuss the matter. Hall, go to Bilita's study.I sat in the sedan chair for a whole day today, I was dizzy, and I didn't want to see people, so I asked them to boil some water to warm their feet and take a bath, and if there was anything to eat, just get something. " Zhang Yu hurriedly agreed, and led them to the west, a stone's throw away from the meeting hall, pointing to the first three rooms with eaves and downturned buildings, and said: "This is the study room of Bijunmen, and the one next to it is the signatory. The room belonged to General Liu Can, and the next one belonged to me. I seldom hold meetings on weekdays, and each worked in the study to meet people. "

Looking around, Yongzheng saw that the entire camp of the Chinese army was in order.There are high walls in the east, west, north, south and four corners of the village, and there are stacks at the corners of the village for guarding. A large beige watermelon lantern is hung on the wall not far away. There are also two teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth with lights on the big drill field—even the defense of Changchun Garden is nothing more than that.He nodded in satisfaction, ignored Zhang Tingyu, brought Gao Wuyong with him and entered the study, and De Lengtai and Fifth Brother Zhang stood in front of the door one by one.Seeing this situation, Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Tingyu suspiciously, but didn't dare to ask. He just bowed to Zhang Tingyu and said, "My lord, please rest for a while. I'll make arrangements for my lowly position." Yongzheng didn't wait for Zhang Tingyu to speak, and said inside: Zhang Yu comes in, I'll see you."

"You are good luck." Zhang Tingyu heard Yongzheng say the word "zhen", smiled and said to the stunned Zhang Yu, "Long Live Lord is inside, and summoned you!" "Long live?...The one who went in just now was the Lord Long Live? Then you..." Zhang Tingyu smiled and said, "I am the prime minister. If the Lord Long Live does not come, what do I have to do if I enter your barracks? Come in."

Zhang Yu's face was covered in cold sweat, and he followed Zhang Tingyu into the study with slow steps, only to see Gao Wuyong standing sideways, Yongzheng sitting on the tiger-skin chair that Bilita used to sit on, with two short lines on his chubby face Crescent eyebrows, triangular eyes with dark pupils shining under the candle, looking very warm and gentle, the corners of the mouth covered by a mustache are slightly upturned, as long as you don't smile, you will always feel a kind of stern majesty .

"You look at me like that, don't you know me?" Yongzheng couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was in a daze because of nervousness, and said, "You worked with your thirteenth master in the household department, right? I often went to the household department in the past, as if I’ve seen you before! You’re a military commander, drinking in big bowls and eating big pieces of meat, you should be more relaxed.” Zhang Yu woke up from the shock, hurriedly untied his saber and put it aside, and snapped off his horseshoe sleeve Kneeling three times and prostrating nine times, he said: "This slave is really blind. In fact, he should have recognized the master long ago. Not only the household department, but also the promoted generals have been introduced to him. The master came to Fengtai for a military parade last year and saw it from afar. Back to the master. , the servant is the coat that Kangxi wore in Gubeikou in 45 years, and he is the personal soldier of the Thirteenth Lord. He nodded and said, "It's also an old military officer. There are quite a few officers under the thirteenth brother's sect here, right?"

After a few questions, Zhang Yu felt a little relieved and hurriedly kowtowed: "To tell you what the master said, most of the officers above the guerrilla level in the original camp were placed by the Thirteenth Master. Last year, Bi Junmen was replaced, and the Thirteenth Master came. It is said that it is not good for the dead and the living to be crowded together in one place. Some have been promoted or transferred to military attachés, and now there are more than twenty. The Thirteenth Master is now a prince. Apart from meetings, it is rare to see him nowadays. ." Yongzheng smiled and turned to Zhang Tingyu and said: "Prince Yi is careful, but I never worry about this. If the country has more virtuous kings like Yunxiang, it will save me a lot of worry!" Zhang Tingyu admired Yunxiang's talent, intelligence, and skills. But he replied: "The Thirteenth Master once told me about this matter. The army is the imperial government's official city. No matter the king or minister, no one is allowed to support the army without authorization. This is a rule, and a system must be established for future generations. I once told you Your Majesty. There are also many transfers of generals and officers from other provinces’ military camps, and they are all officers from the martial arts examination. There are also memorials, and the Holy Majesty personally approved them..." "Forget it, who is discussing politics with you?" Yongzheng smiled and said, "I see that Zhang Yu is very knowledgeable. Since he has the chance to meet me, it is his blessing. I will give him a second-class shrimp (second-class bodyguard) here. You will give him the ultimatum tomorrow." Zhang Tingyu was busy. He bowed and said yes, and said to Zhang Yu: Why don't you thank me quickly? "

Zhang Yu was already dumbfounded, but after hearing Zhang Tingyu's reminder, he suddenly realized, bumped his head three times, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, my slave..."

"You will serve the emperor tonight." Zhang Tingyu took out his identity as a minister in charge of the bodyguard, and ordered sternly, "Ask someone to bring some snacks first, and you quietly find some suitable people to summon Prince Yi to see you, and then Prepare meals, invite master to eat, understand?" Before Zhang Yu could answer, Yongzheng smiled and said, "Bilita will be back in a while, since Yunxiang is ill, there is no need to alarm him. It's only one night, tomorrow I will Just go back." "No, master." Zhang Tingyu's tone was non-negotiable, and he turned to Zhang Yu and said, "This is the palace tonight, and any mistakes are your responsibility. Now go to Prince Yi, as long as you can move, He will come. Don't disturb the rest of the people, when Bilita comes back, ask him to accompany him too—go!"

Zhang Yu went, Yongzheng and Zhang Tingyu sat and stood, and neither of them spoke for a while.Yongzheng sat back on the chair and recuperated, and after a while he said: "Hengchen, it's hard for you. But you are very careful, I think everything is as usual." Zhang Tingyu was silent for a long time, saw someone bring snacks, and tasted one himself , Putting the plate in front of Yongzheng with both hands, Fang said: "Be careful not to overdo it. I feel uneasy, and always feel like something is wrong. -Jin Chong'er has been in exile for 19 years, and he has everything around him. See note on page 8 of this volume , our monarchs and ministers can’t compare to him, and now entering the big camp, the minister’s heart is a little more peaceful." Yongzheng chuckled, pointed at Zhang Tingyu and said: "You are..." But he didn’t say what he said next.During the conversation, Zhang Yu had already come back, and ordered someone to carry a table of food into the study, Zhang Luo invited Yongzheng to sit down and eat, and then left the study to wait on shifts with De Lengtai.After Gao Wuyong tasted the food one by one, Yongzheng ordered Zhang Tingyu to sit down with him and have a meal together.

After dinner, Yongzheng wanted to come to Qingyan just after brushing his teeth and washing his teeth, he heard a rush of horseshoes outside the courtyard, and didn't stop until the door of the study. Zhang Tingyu looked through the window, turned back to Yongzheng with a smile, and said, "Okay, Prince Yi is here." It's..." Before he finished speaking, he heard Yunxiang's voice outside the door saying: "My brother Yunxiang respectfully pays respects to the Long Live Lord Jin'an!" When Yongzheng heard this familiar voice, he pressed his hand on the handle of the chair and almost stood up. Sitting back relaxed, he said slowly, "Old Thirteen? Come in!"

"tie!"

Yunxiang promised to come in with a single curtain. He was wearing an azure green woven jade grass crown with two layers of woven jade grass. The top of the second layer of golden dragon was decorated with ten east beads tremblingly. Yellow piece of golden sable court dress, with a side cover on the top, bright and bright all over, shining brightly when moving, looking majestic and heroic, but his face is pale and flushed, and he looks a little sick.He took a closer look at Yongzheng, then knelt down and kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and said, "Long live Lord looks fine, why is it that the rumors in Beijing are getting angry in Henan? The news has been cut off for a few days, and I almost died of anxiety." younger brother!"

"Get up and sit down and talk." Yongzheng couldn't help feeling choked up when he heard his hoarse voice, he suppressed his emotions and said with a faint smile, "In this hot day, why are you dressed so neatly? Is it still just coughing every day?" How did you use the borneol, white fungus, and chuanxiong that I gave you?" Yun Xiang stood up and thanked Gao Wuyong with a bow, and handed Gao Wuyong the mend clothes and endmask, and sat down across from Zhang Tingyu, coughing lightly. Said: "My brother, this disease of dogs and horses, really makes the master worry about it. The imperial doctors are useless, some say it is phlegm disease, some say it is a cold, although it does not matter, sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not very good. —— After taking the medicine given by the master, I feel better. I only have random thoughts. If I have tuberculosis, Thirteen Lang will die. I haven't heard from the master for more than ten days, and my heart is burning hot If it gets worse, I will move to the Qingfan Temple, first to pray for the master, and second, to listen to the morning bell and evening drum, and to calm down a little..." He laughed and wiped his tears, and he could see the extreme uneasiness and excitement in his heart , just stiffened his spirit and refused to vent.Yongzheng was also moved when he saw his love and loyalty, but he smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? - Are you so heroic and short-tempered, and your son and daughter love each other? The Imperial Hospital has reported all your pulse cases to me, but it is actually just a meridian. It doesn't work, the spleen is weak and the lungs are hot, it doesn't matter, I have issued an edict to call Mr. Wu to come to Beijing, his medical knowledge is subtle, please show him, treat it slowly, and it will heal naturally." After saying that, he ate vegetable.

Zhang Tingyu managed to find a place to talk, hurriedly bowed to each other and said, "Master Thirteen, is the situation in the capital as usual? You just said that there are rumors that the master is ill in Henan. Is it a folk rumor or an official rumor?" At this time, he sat close , looked at Yunxiang carefully, saw that Yunxiang's eye circles were dark, and his forehead was so pale that there was no blood, and only then did he know that he was seriously ill.Yunxiang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently twice, tucked the handkerchief into his sleeve, and said: "This is what I said on the second day after I moved to the Qingfan Temple in the first ten days. The master was in Wuzhi to patrol the river in the rain, Occasionally caught a cold, and he has recovered. This is what was mentioned in the imperial decree. Shangshufang and the Six Departments all know. The lecturer and editor of the Hanlin Academy are still rumored. I immediately transferred Prince Wenlian and told Longkodo , asked him to thoroughly investigate this matter, but there has been no reply so far. I have not found any other strange things in the capital. I have also read the notes on the rituals of General Gengyao from the Ministry of Rites and others, and I think it seems a bit abusive. I went back to let them consider it. Mynah, Longkodo and Ma Qi visited me at the Qingfan Temple yesterday, and said that the emperor returned to Beijing by the Anhui waterway, and everything was as usual. Just now I heard that the emperor has arrived at Fengtai Camp. I was surprised, this place is so close to Changchun Garden, why did I live in the barracks?"

"Our princes and ministers' white dragon fish uniforms return to Beijing quietly, so naturally we must light them carefully." Yongzheng smiled meaningfully, "You are sick, someone tricked you, do you know?" Zhang Tingyu did not wait for Yunxiang to answer, staring at Yunxiang Ask: "You said Changchun Garden, is Changchun Garden better protected than here?"

Yun Xiang was taken aback, glanced at Zhang Tingyu as if looking at a stranger, and said, "Of course it's safer than Changchun Garden! The master said someone was coaxing the younger brother, who is it?"

"I don't know," Yongzheng shook his head.Zhang Tingyu said: "Actually, like you, they have also cut off news from the emperor. You are the prince who is in charge of the defense of the capital. They should discuss with you to inquire about the behavior of our monarchs and ministers, and arrange the station to guard against these matters. Why do you keep silent when visiting the sick?" Are you going to tell lies?" Yongzheng said with a smile: "Hengchen, I think you are worrying too much, they are afraid that Yunxiang will get angry, how can you say these things to a patient?"

Yun Xiang watched the candle silently, with a sinister light shining in his pupils, he said after a long time: "There are treacherous ministers in the court. This is obvious, and the master is also clear in his heart." Although his voice is not high, it has a sound of gold and stone , Gao Wuyong who was standing next to him shivered.Yun Xiang frowned and thought about it: "But Ma Qi and uncle should tell me the truth..." Just as he was speaking, Zhang Yu came in and said: "Bi Junmen came in, I didn't dare to tell the emperor that he was here, I just said The prince and Zhang Zhongtang are talking here. I wonder if the emperor has seen him or not?" Yunxiang didn't wait for Yongzheng to speak, he stood up, his spirit shook, he didn't look like a sick person at all, strode to the door with one foot, touched the threshold, He greeted loudly: "Bilita? Come here!"

"I am humble!"

Bilita walked over quickly, and a Qian'er hit him down, saying: "Slave, pay respects to the Thirteenth Master!" "Don't yell," Yun Xiang gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Your master's master is here What's inside—what's your meeting today?" Bilita glanced at Yunxiang in astonishment: Master's master, there is no other person except the emperor, but at today's meeting, Longkodo also said that the emperor is in Shandong, why did he suddenly appear in In your own camp?Dazed for a moment, Bilita hurriedly replied: "It is I who want to talk to the Thirteenth Master! I also heard that the Master is seriously ill, so I don't dare to alarm - this Fengtai Admiral I can't do it anymore! Today and Mr. Long has already torn his face. Mr. Long said that I am arrogant, so I asked for an order tonight to change my top hat. I said no leather, and I also wrote a letter to resign tonight, so as not to wear small shoes all day long I'm so cowardly!" Yunxiang was about to ask carefully, but Yongzheng heard clearly inside, and said, "Old Thirteen, ask Bilita to come in and talk!" Bilita hurriedly untied his saber and threw it on the steps, waiting for Gao Wuyong to challenge him. He raised the curtain, bowed his waist to salute, and kowtowed to the ground.

"You want to shake the gauze hat?" Yongzheng said slowly, sipping tea, "You are the admiral who ordered the special briefing, and the 7 horses in Zhili and Gyeonggi are under your control. What grievances do you have? You are an old military officer. You are someone who has conquered the West, what kind of world has you never seen before? How did you give birth to such a small character?" Bilita swallowed a mouthful of saliva, kowtowed and replied: "Returning to the master, it is not a slave who makes a small character, Long Zhongtang It’s really too much! Three days of meetings in a row, the first said that the general of the year made a triumphant return, moved his troops back to the court, and asked the slave soldiers to vacate housing for 3000 people. It is said that the admiral’s army will be vacated, and this place will be handed over to General Nian. The slaves pushed back at that time. The Fengtai Camp guards Changchun Garden and the periphery of the capital. This place is the most suitable, with Changchun Garden on the left and outside on the right. In the city, I can’t move my central army by missing the emperor’s mission because of the New Year General. I dare not obey orders without an imperial decree. Yesterday I broke up unhappy, and today I’m called in again, saying that I have negotiated with the Eighth Prince, and the admiral’s Xingyuan will be moved to the city. Outside Beiding’an Gate, there is still a need to evacuate here, and he said that you don’t need to worry about the emperor’s garrison and defense. The infantry commanded a yamen with 2 horses and couldn’t protect him? The slave was dirty at the time, and his mouth was not clean. He said that General Nian was too Personally, I have seen him during the Western Expedition, with the same two legs between each other! The master had an order when he left, and the defense of the capital was coordinated by the Thirteenth Lord. The nine-door admiral and the Fengtai admiral had no subordinates. If you want to transfer me, you see the Thirteenth Lord Tell Thirteen Lords to inform the Ministry of War and get the survey cooperation certificate, otherwise, I will even refuse to leave the camp even Nian Gengyao—who has never fought? General Nian marched with 3000 troops, didn’t he bring tents, pots, stoves and horses?  … Just like that, we were all annoyed, before he brought tea, I served tea and resigned... Master, since the Queen Mother Lafayette passed away, for some reason, Master Long only picked on my faults, and the two soldiers patrolled Quarreling, this trivial idea, also called me in to scold me, such a fuss, how can I live without what I don't have?"

Brother Zhang Wuyong, Gao Wuyong, and the others listened blankly at first, but they couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After pondering for a long time, they realized that it must be this Qiu Baye who heard others mistake "finding fault" as "comparison", and from "compare", he made a mistake. , couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.A smile flickered on the corner of Yongzheng's mouth, and then he held it back, just groaning silently.Zhang Tingyu listened with a frown all the time, his suspicions became more and more serious, but he didn't hear the slip of the tongue.The Fengtai garrison is fully equipped with horses and infantry, and it also manages a navy, which is the pillar of Beijing's defense.Longkoduo left Yunxiang without asking for instructions, but He Yun manipulated him randomly. Did he not understand or had other intentions?Yongzheng showed Zhang Tingyu the secret records of the Governor General of Gansu and Shanxi, and heard that some dubious people were active during the New Year. This time [-] troops entered Beijing, if something unexpected happened, how would he deal with it?Zhang Tingyu was thinking nervously, Yun Xiang coughed at the side and said: "Everyone has their own errands, each has its own scope, don't mess it up! General Nian has made meritorious service in the conquest, this time he came back to knock on the gate to perform the ceremony, the ceremony should be arranged by the Ministry of Rites. After the ceremony, the army and horses cannot live in the city, but must be stationed in the outskirts on standby. No matter whether the army in the Fengtai camp moves or not, the command cannot be messed up. Bilita, you are my old man, whether you are sick or not, these You should return to me, and let me strike iron with them. You just open your mouth and be rude? Huh?"

"Well, what Prince Yi said is true." Yongzheng said, looking at the window pane with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "You have two mistakes: you shouldn't scold Nian Gengyao, and you shouldn't report to your thirteenth master for big things. Since you said here Yes, I forgive you. It’s a good job, and I will return to Changchun Garden at noon tomorrow to take care of these things. Fengtai Camp, you can’t move a step! What does Ma Qi eat? Such an important task, it seems that he is outside the bureau? "

Yunxiang saw that Ma Qi was the one to blame, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Master, Ma Qi is in charge of the government affairs. He reads [-] to [-] words a day, and he has to transfer the excerpts to the emperor. He also has to meet foreign officials. The last time we met, He's lost a lot of weight! If the pot is rotten, say the pot, and if the pot is broken, say the pot!"

"Hmm." Yongzheng waved his hands without any expression on his face and said, "Kneel down!"
