Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 87: Longkodo is good at breaking into the Forbidden Garden, and Han Maqi calmly scolds him for being indecent.
Zhang Tingyu's cautiousness is not too much.Ever since Yongzheng left Kaifeng, the governor of Anhui had waited for a long time for the news of the imperial boat's east tour, fearing that he would not be able to bear the responsibility, so he handed over the secret decree to the study room, "the trace of the saint is unknown."As soon as Prince Lian got the news, he immediately claimed to be sick, and he didn't leave the palace. He pushed all government affairs to Ma Qi, the minister of the upper study, and strictly ordered Yun Xiang and Ma Qi to block the news, but the reason was open and honest. Ma Qi was "too busy", and Yun Xiang "Sick", we can't disturb them with these baseless rumors.And Yun himself was also "sick" and unable to take care of important military and state affairs, so Longkodo informed Hongshi, the third son of the emperor who stayed in Beijing, about Yongzheng's loss of contact with the court.Hongshi is an empty elder brother and has no military power, but he also thought about it carefully. It would be better if Yongzheng died in a boat on the Yellow River, Prince Bao was away, and he was an elderly prince. "Since I am in the center, it is logical for my son to inherit his father's career. When the time comes, with the jade seal in his hand and the Tianxian in his mouth, no matter whether it is Fengtai Daying or Northwest Ruijian Camp, they can only bow their heads and bow their heads.Therefore, he was not in a hurry to win the military power, first sent someone to Zunhua to pass the order, and strictly guarded the fourteenth elder brother, and he was not allowed to leave the mausoleum without walking; In order to prepare for the big gift in the suburbs", so as to prevent Hongli from entering Beijing in advance; to send six hundred miles to speed up the document to order Tian Wenjing to "send someone to find out where the emperor's Yuzhou is now"-when Tian Wenjing's urgent report document arrives in Beijing, he Only then did I know that Yongzheng's boat did not capsize, but was stuck on the river in Luyi. The more than [-] officers and soldiers escorted by the Luoyang navy were all acting as trackers, and they could not walk twenty miles a day... After receiving this news, Hong At the same time, my heart was half hot and half cold, nervous and excited with fear and horror: the military parade at Gubeikou was a parade by the emperor Hongli; the food relief in Shandong was organized by the emperor Hongli; Go in person; send Kangxi's coffin to Zunhua, or the emperor Hongli dynasties to help the coffin.That is, on weekdays, Hongli "studies" in the study room under the pretense of name. What do you study?Isn't it the ability to rule the whole world?Even the little things like dividing the meat were broken by Hongshi.After crushing and re-creating, the conclusions are all very simple and cold; regardless of virtue, talent, ability, knowledge, or "holy family", I have no hope of ascending to the throne!Now that he is not in Beijing, and Yong Zheng is trapped outside, if he misses this opportunity, later generations will definitely say that he is a cowardly and incompetent fool! ...But if he really did something, he was afraid that the Eighth Emperor Uncle would take advantage of the fire to take advantage of the fire and learn from Emperor Yongle to seize his nephew, and he was even more afraid that if the situation could not be controlled, Yongzheng returned to Beijing safely, and if he pursued it, he would really be ruined!

After tossing and turning in bed for several nights, after much deliberation, Hongshi decided on Longkodo, who was not only a survivor of the former emperor Tuogu, but also the most powerful military minister among the ministers of the Shangshufang. He knows it well, why not take advantage of it?Because of this, people sent Long Kedo to come to the government to discuss matters.

When lighting the lanterns, Longkodo withdrew from Donghua Gate and was invited to Sanbeile Mansion.Hongshi, Hongli and Hongzhou brothers were all studying at the residence of Lama Temple.Yongzheng ascended the throne, and each of them built their own mansions. They were all newly built mansions. They were located in Chaoyangmen not far from Donghuamen. It is a Xieshan-style structure with carved bucket arches and cocked wings and cornices. It is completely new and very spectacular.Some houses inside have not been renovated, so the three prefectures have not built gardens.As soon as Longkodo's big sedan chair got off the door, the person at the door immediately reported, and saw Hongshi in casual clothes, a moon-white Ning silk gown, and a rose-purple buttoned vest with emerald edges on his upper body, walking briskly to greet him. The door bowed and said: "Uncle has worked hard! Did you just drop in?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, I'm not busy now." Long Keduo smiled and said with his mustache up, "Cao Yin's son, Cao Laijing, please refer to the note on page 235 of this volume. I left Ma Qi, Ma Qi said that he would talk about him when Thirteenth Master got better, so he begged to see me again, talked for a while, and left him to eat before coming over..." One end said, following Hong time to come in.Hongshi led the way, waving a fan with one hand, and flicking a big glossy braid to the back of his head with the other, he picked up the curtain and said, "Please, uncle——Cao is the one who confiscated his home and dismissed his post, what can you do? It’s not that he’s poor—the last time I saw me, he was dressed like a beggar, crying and talking, but I didn’t hear what he said. Isn’t he short of money? I gave him 200 taels to make up for the lack of rice. "Speaking, invite Long Ke to sit down, and order "tea"!Longkodo took a look around and sat down, picked up the cup and used the bowl cover to shake the floating tea, and said with a smile: "I went to Wu Ye's mansion to have a look, and there are bird cages hanging inside and outside his study. Fourth Ye is There are endless books to read, the courtyard is full of buildings, and there is no place to sit when you go in. The third master is very elegant, with stoves, bottles, tripods, and Langya shelves, complete with piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings-dare to ask, what wind blows me Is this old uncle here?"

Hongshi glanced at Longkodo vigilantly; he had never seen Longkodo so witty, what happened today?Startled for a moment, Hongshi smiled slightly, flipped the corners of his robes and raised Erlang's legs, gently waving a bamboo fan of Concubine Xiang, and said, "Of course it's official business! Uncle Eighth and Thirteenth Uncles They are all sick, and Ma Qi is busy with government affairs in Changchun Garden. He sees people reading books, and he can sleep well at least two or three hours a day. You know the bones of the fifth brother, who can only be served by people, not people. He is an elder brother sitting on the throne, in fact, he doesn't care much about things on weekdays, and I don't want to care about what I have to do, but from the "public" side, I am the prince who stays behind and bears full responsibility; from the "private" side Said, Ama has been working hard outside, and she is really thinking about it. So please uncle to ask, where is the emperor at the moment, and when will he return to Beijing? Welcome, and stay in the customs, what are the arrangements for going to the study—— I'm the prince of the seat, so I can't help but ask, I know what's going on. You know the emperor's temperament, if you get annoyed, your relatives don't recognize you, and you come back to meet and ask three questions, what's the matter with me? Long Kedo, who used "the prince must not interfere in politics without authorization", couldn't help being silent.Startled for a moment, Longkodo smiled heartily and said, "Third Master, I will give you the report every day, and the Emperor Luanjia has already returned from Tai'an. Eighth Master and I speculate that we will definitely be back within three to five days. There has been no decree from Zhu Zhu in the past few days. One is that the emperor is feeling a little uncomfortable; the other is that the emperor is back, and there is no need to pass official documents back and forth. In fact, if you don’t call, I have to come and return. It turns out that Chang Spring Garden is stationed in the Shanchuang Camp, which is rotated every three months. It is a dead rule. It’s the end of the day. Should we change? The management team of Shanchuang Camp and I don’t belong to each other, and he will arrange it by himself. Bottom. Also, Nian Gengyao brought [-] troops back to Beijing to perform a ceremony, so where is the best place to stay, and you have to plan ahead. They all have meritorious service in the field, so it’s not easy to live in a tent in the field, right?” Looking up, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the little white-faced elder brother, but under the shadow of the candle, there was no expression in his eyes.

"What do you think?" Hongshi looked at this prominent "Uncle Emperor" with a half-smile, and took a sip of tea, "Old uncle, I don't really understand these things. Eighth Uncle and you are old-fashioned , must have already made arrangements?" After saying that, he got up and walked slowly, waving his fan.

Longkodo seemed surprised and glanced at Hongshi.When he asked these questions, he originally thought it would be difficult for this elder brother, but he didn't expect to be thrown back intact by Hong Shi's flirtatious words!Prince Lian clearly stated that he is a "Three Lords Party", but Yun didn't say how deep the relationship between the uncle and nephew was, and he didn't dare to ask. Only when he came to the water tonight did he know about this handsome and fair-skinned emperor. Brother is not as easy to deal with as I thought, if it is slippery, it seems to be more than Yun!Just as he was thinking, Hongshi looked at the dark night outside through the window, and said without turning his head: "Uncle, don't make a fuss, forgive me, the eighth uncle is old with a sword, and he can't bear to be killed again. The festivals of the emperor, the prince, and the great thousand years old can all be uncovered. "There are talents from generation to generation in the country, each leading the coquettish for hundreds of years." 'Each leader has been coquettish for more than ten years'—" He turned around suddenly, his eyes flashed suddenly, "Really? Old uncle?" Longkodo looked at his cold eyes, and couldn't help tightening his heart, but he After all, he was old and sophisticated, so he quickly calmed down, shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't quite understand what you said."

"What don't you understand?" Hong Shi sneered, "We are all in the same mind, we want the old man to return to the capital 'safely' - so, Changchun Garden's guards have to be changed, and the infantry commander's yamen will take care of it for the time being. Get up, Nian Gengyao's soldiers can't be stationed in the wild, and Admiral Fengtai's camp must be given up—this is not what you discussed with Eighth Uncle and the others? Why are you still asking me?"

"This……"

Longkoduo was taken aback. This was the chaos plan planned by Yun, Wang Hongxu, A Ling'a and him in Prince Lian's mansion last night, to control Changchun Garden, disrupt the command system of Fengtai Camp, and cut off the return route of Yongzheng—— Prince Lian strictly ordered Hongshi and Hongzhou to be careful and "don't let them know". Just six hours later, Hongshi knew it like the back of his hand.

"It's nothing!" Hong Shiyin sat down with a smile, and took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, "This is for the safety of the emperor, what should be done, you can do it at ease. It's 'leading the coquettish' knows it well Don't mess up the rules." His tone changed, and he became gentle and hearty again, "After all, I am the elder brother of the emperor, and I have to be responsible for the emperor and do my best for the world. According to the words in "Teacher's List", 'success or failure is blunt, beyond the ability of the minister to see'!" After speaking, he laughed loudly, "take the wishful handle that the emperor rewarded me, and bring it to my uncle!"

On the morning of the second day of Yongzheng's arrival at Fengtai Daying, a big green woolen official sedan chair dropped off at the double gates in front of Xiamen in Changchun Garden as usual.Ma Qi stepped out of the big sedan chair with a low waist, straightened up as if to dispel the fatigue all over his body, but in this solemn and sacred place, even he—the minister of the upper study room—did not dare to stretch out wantonly. Yawning arms and legs.He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath of the clear air. Seeing that there were more than a dozen officials waiting for him to be interviewed by the gate of the ceremony with algae beards hanging down, he sighed silently and entered the gate of the ceremony with a wave of his hand. Erlundai was on duty, so he stopped, beckoned over, and asked, "Are there any yellow boxes that have been turned around at the Eighth Master and Longzhong Hall?"

"No," Elundai hurriedly lowered his hand and said, "Eighth Master is not in good health yet. Long Zhongtang is preparing to pick him up and drive back to Beijing. He said that he will come to Changchun Garden to discuss matters with Ma Zhongtang this afternoon." His face was pale Touqing, it seems that he didn't sleep well at night, and he looked preoccupied.Ma Qi was about to leave, but when he heard the pick-up, he stopped again and asked, "Did Long Zhongtang say anything else? Where is the emperor's driving?" Erlun Dai bowed and said, "Where is the emperor's driving, Long Zhongtang didn't say anything. I didn't dare to ask either. I just said that Changchun Garden's guards have to be changed when it's time to change, nothing else."

Ma Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "It's about time, what's the point of fighting three or five days before and after?——You send a message to ask the adults outside to come to the Luhua Building to wait and talk." After speaking, he meandered westward along the corridor of the Qiangwei Cave, and after passing through the eighteen provinces, he waited to see the corridor of the official house, which was the Danning residence where Yongzheng was working in Changchun Garden.Ma Qi bowed to the palace, turned his body to the north, and there was a thick green lotus in the river and lake, and willows surrounded by willows on the bank, shrouded in smoke and mist, and a tall building with five couplets and two stories on the top of a mountain with yellow glazed tiles was hidden. This is the "Luhua Building". up.The guard Liu Tiecheng had already been waiting in front of the building, and when he saw Ma Qi coming, he ordered the eunuchs to lift the curtain.This is the highest place in Changchun Garden. In fact, it is a study building built for Kangxi to enjoy the cool and blow the summer.To the north is Kangxi Yanjia's "poor cottage", but it is a hut, although it is spacious but not tall, and to the north is the palace wall. Outside the wall is a large lake, hundreds of acres in size, surrounded by vast blue waves. The cool wind with moisture passed through the building, and even though it was hot summer, my body was so cool that I didn't sweat at all.Liu Tiecheng followed Ma Qi in, and asked, "In the past, I was in Yunsong Pavilion. Although it was not bright there, in fact, there was an ice basin in the room, which made it cooler than here. Why did Ma Zhongtang suddenly come here to work? The eunuch moved the documents in the middle of the night." Ma Qi ordered people to open all the windows, and said with a smile, "I will tell you, Lao Liu, I am really exhausted. It is very windy here, so I will be less sleepy when I see people. See you last time. Cai, I just heard that I dozed off and went fishing. How did people know that I stayed up late? They only said that I was the prime minister, Nata—besides, Shengjia is about to return to Beijing. Yunsongxuan is the place where Prince Bao works. House, disrespectful." As he spoke, he sorted out the paperwork, looked at a memorial, and told Liu Tiecheng: "See if the official you want to see has come—I saw Che Fantai from Henan coming, so I'll see him first. Are you Guards, not with me, don't wait here, go around the garden, ask the eunuchs to clean up those who should be cleaned. When they came, they were disturbed by the cicadas on the tree. The emperor loved Jing and told them to clean up All the cicadas in the neighborhood stick to it." While speaking, he lit up a cigarette and read the booklet, Liu Tiecheng agreed and went.Suddenly, there was a slight sound on the stairs. An official in his 50s, with a fair face, round and fat, and a very well-groomed mustache, was jet-black and poised pompously. He was wearing a peacock gown and a sapphire top. He came up gently, smacked the horseshoe sleeve, and said:

"Greetings to Mr. Ma from the humble position!"

"Oh, Mr. Che." Ma Qi raised his hand falsely and said with a smile, "Please stand up, sit and talk casually, don't be formal. Sometimes I have to meet more than 100 officials a day, and they will make a fuss about the rules, and I can't do anything. When did brother arrive in Beijing?"

Che Ming got up and took his seat, leaned back slightly and said calmly: "The humble job has been in Beijing for three days. Because the Ministry of Household Affairs urged the Henan treasury to transfer the silver to the Beijing treasury, Tian Zhongcheng is now borrowing 100 million, and the good ones are in a deficit again. Meng Shangshu The writing asked Fan Li to be innocent. I met Mr. Meng yesterday, and said that Ma Zhongtang had an audience, and if there is any order, please Zhongtang give orders, so that Zhifan can follow the order." After finishing speaking, he bowed again and sat down.After Ma Qi snorted and smoked a hookah, he installed another bag, lit it with a fire matcher, and said: "Tian Wenjing borrowed the money from the feudal clan, and it was used for river construction. It was sent to Beijing and then sent to Henan." Instead, it's troublesome. This is a matter of a piece of paper, Tian Wenjing just didn't go round the circle. This matter will be explained by me and the Holy Majesty when the Holy Spirit returns to Beijing. The old man is in charge of the Tongzheng Envoy's yamen, and he is a high-ranking official in the court, so he naturally knows the general situation , don’t make a difference with Tian Wenjing over these things, don’t you think so?” Che Ming wanted to provoke and sue, but was speechless by Ma Qi’s soft words, so he could only swallow his breath and said, “Yes . The staff understands."

"I didn't ask you to come here for this matter." Ma Qi stared at Zhezi and said, "I want to ask about Chao Liu's case. There was a memorial from Tian Wenjing in front, saying that the yamen knows the general, and the guardian Hu Qiheng, the criminal judge The official Zhang Qiu was anxious for public good and righteousness. Before this paper was approved, Tian Wenjing joined Hu Qiheng's corruption of ink and lawlessness, and ignored human life. The 44 officials above the seventh rank in the yamen, except for Zhang Qiu, asked for an order to dismiss them all--inside even There are more than [-] nuns in Baiyi Nunnery, seven monks in Hulu Temple, and even more than a dozen officials in your domain. Looking at it this way, isn’t Kaifeng Hongdong County? You didn’t try the case, the details You may not understand. I want to ask, according to your opinion, what is Hu Qiheng's official reputation like? Henan officials are so greedy for ink, and they are so involved. It really made the court sweep their faces. There are really so many officials. Is it so bad that the curtain is thin and not repaired?" Che Ming glanced at Ma Qi slightly, seeing the indifference of the old prime minister with white beard and hair, he hesitated for a moment.Although he doesn't care about the prison, he is clear about the details of the case. It's just that there are too many officials involved, and it's hard to say whether his own family members are involved. .But seeing that the governor of Lengtouqing has made a big announcement about the matter, Yongzheng's nature is cruel and cruel, and he definitely does not have the benevolence of "a bed of brocade is covered".Yin said: "Ma Zhongtang, this case has dragged on for three years, and everyone in the province knows about it. Although I don't care about the judicial office, I still know a little about the situation. According to what the boss said, it is a little harsh, but the shady inside is true. I'm afraid it will be even more powerful! I don't know that the Lord Zhongtang—" "I don't mean anything." Ma Qi's heart sank, because he was indeed a little uncomfortable because several of his disciples were involved in the case, but his face But he refused to bring it out, because he said, "since you know it, tell me about it."

Che Ming cleared his throat with a light cough and said: "The death of Chao Liu's husband, Chao Xue Shu, is just a twist in the flames. Speaking of which, this case alone would have been closed long ago. The first heavy snowfall in the winter three years ago, Chao Ming went to Baiyi nunnery alone to enjoy the snow - it was close to the river and the scenery was very good - this scholar was good at poetry and was a talented person, so he was noticed by a group of nuns in the nunnery. She shaved her head and pretended to be a fake nun who performed prostitution day and night. She tortured this handsome young man until he was exhausted and his bones were like a skeleton. He was afraid that the owner's woman would come to find him and could not deal with him. These nuns and the seven monks of the Hulu Temple had long ago The traitor was so unbecoming that he had to ask the help of a monk to lure him to the vicinity of the Hulu Temple and kill him in a dry well. At that time, Xiao Cheng, the prefect of Kaifeng, investigated and solved the case very quickly. He found the murderer in seven days, and the murderers Fa Yuan, Fa Tong, Fa Ming was taken to prison."

"Unexpectedly, after being tortured and asking for a while, the three fierce monks confessed to the master Juekong, and the three brothers Fajing, Faji, and Fahui were all accomplices. This was not the first time they had done this. So they discovered the Gourd Temple. After digging three feet into the ground, eight more headless corpses were dug out from behind the sacred treasury. It seemed that they were all candidates for Xiaolian who had gone to Beijing to take the exam or students who had taken the provincial and rural exams - even the monks couldn't remember their names. How was he killed?"

"Of course Xiao Cheng didn't dare to neglect such a big rape and murder case. He immediately surrounded Baiyi Nunnery and took all the nuns to Kaifeng Mansion. Only the old nun Jingci, nicknamed 'Chen Miaochang', escaped."

"My lord, you know that there is no one in the family of officials who does not believe in Buddhism. Baiyi nunnery is the largest nunnery in Kaifeng. These nuns usually go up to the Governor's Yamen and down to Sidaoshou County to collude with each other and pull the monks Acting as a nun to enter the official house, hang out with the officials' family members, and "beg for a son" for the officials, making it ugly. Some family members are not suitable for men, and there are nuns who give birth to sons on behalf of them. Many officials and The nuns are also hot with each other. My lord, Tian Wenjing said 'the curtains are thin and not repaired', which is really very elegant! This "Chen Miaochang" escaped, and went to some mansion to hang around for a few days, and there was a constitution card. , Called to release the nun.

"The release of this group of nuns is even more extraordinary. During the day and night, they went to various mansions for half a month. Seven monks were also released to 'pending trial' - no victim, no evidence. Chao Liu can't say for sure Her husband must have been killed by a monk, so she had to sue. Xiao Cheng received a decree today, "Let him go temporarily", and tomorrow he received a ticket, "Strictly kill the murderer, don't let him go", which made his head dizzy. Unfortunately, it happened that his mother died of illness, so he quickly reported to Ding You and was relieved of his post.

"Tian Zhongcheng overthrew Nuo Min in Shanxi and transferred him to Henan. Chao Liu wanted to file a complaint again. As soon as he got some wind, it leaked out for some reason. I don't know who kidnapped her son. It was probably Wanting to coerce her into not filing a complaint, who wanted to push Chao Liu into a panic, she stopped Tian Zhongcheng's sedan chair to complain. I don't know whether the Si Yamen wanted to kill someone for fear of revealing the truth, or wanted to retry the case so that he could explain it to Mr. Tian. When people went to take Chao Liu, they were stopped by Ge Shiha who was ambushing Tian Zhongcheng, and they all went all-in - the case was made famous just like this..." Ma Qi listened and said "Hmm" With.Some of what Che Ming said was written by Tian Wenjing in the book, and some of it was briefly mentioned by Hu Qiheng in his memorial. However, Che Ming did not explain the ins and outs in such detail. What he was thinking was actually different from what Che Ming said. thing.Since the Yong Dynasty, a major case in Shanxi has been completed with false claims, followed by a case in Guangdong where nine people were wronged and more than 30 illegal officials were imprisoned.This case in Henan is really like what Che Ming said. Monks - nuns - officials' families - officials are making a fuss. Not only are there too many people involved, but the matter is also obscene and obscene, making the officialdom dirty. Dirty things are exposed to the world, and folk rumors add fuel to the fire. What can't be said?The imperial court really couldn't bear to lose face.But Tian Wenjing was desperate, detaining people from the Yamen, dismissed and impeached more than [-] officials, and wanted to pursue them to the end. Tomorrow's memorial was published in the Dibao. There was no room for maneuver in the idea of ​​​​catching them all, so what should I do? Where is it?He waited quietly for Che Ming to finish speaking and said with a smile: "It seems that I know a lot about it! There are several sentences here and there in the memorial, but it is difficult to understand. Today, it is said here, here, I just listen. What should I do? When the emperor comes back, I will make a written request to deal with it. As for the money in the vassal treasury, don’t worry about it. The emperor will come back in the next few days. Let’s talk about it!” He said at the same time. Che Ming had already brought the tea and stood up before he could sip the tea. , then there was a sudden sound on the stairs, Liu Tiecheng's face was ashen, he held the sword in one hand and lifted the curtain in the other and strode in. He looked at the car inscription, but said nothing.Che Ming hurriedly bowed and resigned.

"Ma Zhongtang!" The muscles in Liu Tiecheng's neck were all swollen, his black face was distorted, and he looked very ferocious. Ma Qi said in astonishment, "Do you know that the soldiers of the nine admirals came to take over Changchun Garden?"

Ma Qi slapped the table with a "slap", "How can you say that?"

"Look!" Liu Tiecheng growled, walked to the south window a few steps, tore off the window screen with a "shua", and pointed to the downstairs with one hand, "Everyone has entered the garden! Every room and hall is running around and searching Damn, is this plagiarism or rebellion?" Without saying a word, Ma Qi hurriedly walked to the window. The place is condescending, and he can see clearly through Liu Yin. Sure enough, groups of soldiers are moving from east to west. Going along the corridor towards Tanningju, Yunsongxuan, Chunyuetang, and Yixing Pavilion... His heart tightened suddenly, blood poured out of his body, his face turned blood red, and he turned to Liu Tiecheng and said: "Fang Bao is at the thirteenth master of Qingfan Temple. Send your personal soldiers on a flying horse to invite Mr. Fang. It would be better if the thirteenth master can come, hurry up! You go down first to make arrangements, and send Orondai to come to me." !"

Liu Tiecheng went downstairs, and the empty building was as quiet as death. Several eunuchs who waited on the pen and ink were stunned by the sudden change, standing with their hands down like puppets, all of them pale.Only the smoked wind pierced through the building, and the iron horses under the hoop occasionally made disturbing noises.Ma Qiyuan was about to go downstairs when he was fully dressed. After arranging the documents on the case, his heart suddenly settled down. He took off his robes again, turned around and smiled at the eunuchs: "What's the matter with you? You have become judges in the temple." Ghost! It doesn’t matter, there is no rebellion. This is the Longzhong Hall’s placement and guarding. There is no ventilation at a few ends, and I’m twisting. I’m really tired, so I brought the spring stool over, and I leaned over to rest for a while. Son." The eyes of the eunuchs were full of vitality, and they were busy stretching the Luochun stool, and Ma Qi leaned back, fanning himself to make up his mind.All of a sudden, Erlundai came up with a sword, beat a thousand sons and asked:

"Ma Zhongtang, you called me?"

"Yeah. Just now, Tiecheng said that the infantry commanding the yamen soldiers entered the garden. You are a guard on duty, did they tell you beforehand?"

"...No. Li Chunfeng, the admiral of the Nine Gates, came with someone just now, and he brought with him a signed ticket from Long Zhongtang, the minister of the guards, saying that the emperor is coming back, and the forbidden areas of Da Nei and Changchun Garden will be inspected. The defense of Changchun Garden is temporarily controlled by the Nine Gates—"

"I know, how many of them are there?"

"Back to the middle hall, Li Chunfeng said 200 people."

"You go and ask Li Chunfeng to come to my place. All the officials who have entered the garden above Qian Zong are here, and I want to lecture you!"

Orondai knew that this matter had a lot to do with him.In fact, guessing from the words in Yun's mouth, this is nothing more than a rehearsal of a mutiny.I thought Ma Qi was already flustered and at a loss for what to do, but seeing him at ease now, I was even more flustered, startled for a moment, and trotted downstairs, Ma Qi then got up, smiling and putting on his robe and jacket, The two-eyed peacock flower feather sat in front of the desk.Earlier, I saw Orondai come up with two officers dressed as generals, followed by a dozen or so guerrilla soldiers, who all saluted the horse, and the spurs and knives made a loud noise.Ma Qi stared at the leading officer, and asked after a long time, "You two led the soldiers here? What's his name?"

"Go back to Ma Zhongtang, his name is Li Yihe. We are all working in the nine-door admiral's yamen!"

"Li Chunfeng!" Ma Qi raised his face and thought for a while, "I presided over Wu Wei in the 51st year of Kangxi, and I remember that I had a student named Li Chunfeng. Is that you?" Li Chunfeng hurriedly knelt forward and said, "Yes , Teacher! No. 40 of the humble rank is a Wu Jinshi. He was transferred back from Yungui Dashuai this spring, and he hasn’t had time to visit his teacher and beg for forgiveness!” Is there any?" Ma Qi smiled, and asked again: "Li Yihe, what subject do you come from?"

Li Yihe was not as respectful as Li Chunfeng. He raised his hands and said: "Ma Zhongtang, the humble post is the Wu Jinshi in the 57th year of Kangxi." The martial arts test is my protégé Hou Huaxing—in terms of it, I am your grand teacher!" He is a veteran of the Xi Dynasty, except for Li Guangdi, no one is more qualified than him, and at this moment, the second Li can only listen to the sign.Just thinking about how to answer Ma Qi, Ma Qi had already stood up, giggling and said: "Since you are my disciples, I have to give you a few words. This Beijing city is the emperor's chariot, and Changchun Garden and Da Nei are forbidden gardens. You can’t make any mistakes. The infantry commanding the yamen’s defense area is the Nine Gates Forbidden City. The Forbidden City and Changchun Garden have always been guarded by the ministers in charge of guards and guards in the upper study room. Without the imperial decree, no soldier or soldier can enter without permission, do you understand?”

"We brought troops into the garden, and we have orders from Long Zhongtang." Li Chunfeng replied with a bow, "Mr. Ma dare not use the word 'trespassing'—didn't Long Zhongtang inform Ma Zhongtang?" Qi did not answer Li Chunfeng's question. He turned around and wrote a few lines of writing in wet ink on the front of the case. He took out the printing box and put it in the study room. No matter who gives instructions, all soldiers who enter the palace will immediately withdraw and listen to orders outside the Meridian Gate."

Hearing that there was no room for negotiation in his tone, Erlundai accepted the edict hesitantly, and said in a murmur, "Ma Zhongtang and Long Zhongtang, please have a joint discussion—" before finishing speaking, Ma Qi interrupted: "Naturally, the discussion is We need a collegiate discussion, why should you talk about this? Retreat first, let’s talk about other things! Prince Yi and Mr. Fang will come to see me immediately. When you enter the city and see Long Zhongtang, please come to him immediately." Elundai After being stunned for a while, he had no choice but to agree and back out.Only then did Ma Qi turn his face to Li Chunfeng and Li Yihe, his voice became hoarse and deep: "You said just now that it is not trespassing. What is trespassing?" I didn’t understand it before, but it’s not too late now. Changchun Garden’s good arrest battalion and nearly four thousand eunuchs, and there was no transfer order, the two sides misunderstood and clashed, and even Long Zhongtang couldn’t deal with the aftermath—retire first and listen to the order, it’s none of your business Otherwise, I will ask Wang Ling to kill you first, and then transfer the Fengtai camp to enter the garden for defense. Are you going to hit the stone with the egg?"

Seeing Ma Qi's actions, the dozen or so officers felt that the situation was serious.They were only ordered to enter the garden, and they didn't encounter general orders that hindered the fight. They were a little confused when they encountered such a hard nail, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.Li Chunfeng and Li Yihe quickly exchanged glances, and further said: "Ma Zhongtang, you and Long Zhongtang are both ministers in charge of the guards in the upper study, which is really embarrassing for us. In this case, we obey the order and temporarily withdraw from the garden. Give me a word from Ma Zhongtang, so that we can confess to Shangfeng, and it is Teacher Ma who sympathizes with us." "Success! This seems to be like my student!" Ma Qi had a smile on his face, and immediately wrote a note, saying in his mouth : "If we agree, there will be orders to enter the garden. Although you are warriors, you are also officials ordered by the imperial court. You must obey the imperial court—go!" Li Chunfeng led everyone downstairs.

At this moment, the eunuch Qin Gou'er came in, and Ma Qi asked, "Have you seen Prince Yi?"

"Go back to Zhongtang," Qin Gou'er bowed and said, "The Thirteenth Master went to Fengtai Daying last night. Later, he also picked up Mr. Fang. The entourage of the Thirteenth Master in the Qingfan Temple has already gone to report to the tenth Third Master, please Thirteenth Master come over here."

Ma Qi breathed through and almost collapsed on the chair.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that his clothes were already soaked in sweat, he lit up the cigarette and took a long puff of cigarette, and let out a long breath: "Long Zhongtang is here, let me know immediately!"
