Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 93 Shi Yizhen said that the powerful minister Liu Molin was ordered to go to Western Xinjiang
A group of kings and ministers who went to the study room followed Yongzheng to the gate of Xihua, the scorching red sun fell to the west, and the burning clouds dyed the west half of the sky red with blood.Zhang Tingyu only ate some snacks and drank a cup of milk in the early morning before going to the court. Yongzheng gave him meals twice, but a foreign official asked to see him as soon as he raised his chopsticks, but he didn't finish the meal.Summer is long, although it is not dark, I take out my pocket watch to see that it is already the beginning of Xu.Seeing that Yongzheng got off the Chengyu, Zhang Tingyu was relieved, and Zhang Tingyu felt hungry. He was thinking about getting something to eat, but Yongzheng smiled and waved: "Hengchen, Xiushui, why did you forget? See you again People!" Zhang Tingyu just remembered, and smiled covertly: "How dare I forget my official duties! Thinking about the master's hard work all day, I want to take a rest for a while, and I want to go in later."

"I'm full from meals, I only went to Fengtai once, and sat for a long time, why are you tired?" Yongzheng said with a smile, and when he turned his face to see Longkodo was about to leave, he said, "Uncle, you also come in. Long Kedo had no choice but to bow and answer: "Yes!"

So the four of them strolled back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and saw Liu Molin knelt outside the Chuihua Gate, with his head lowered, showing no expression, beside Yang Mingshi and Sun Jiagan, one was coming to Beijing to report his duties, and the other had just returned from After returning from his inspection tour in other places, Yongzheng only said: "Get up and wait" and entered the compound.The gray-haired Xing Nian rushed up to meet him, walked beside him, and said, "Li Fu just handed over the sign, and Shi Yizhi from Zhan Shifu also handed over the sign to ask for an interview. , It’s been more than an hour. If the master doesn’t see you, the slaves will tell them to leave. The key to the palace gate, if you can’t get out without a special decree, you have to watch it all night.” Yongzheng listened and said “um”, when he heard “Shi Yizhi’ Stand still and think for a while, "Shi Yizhi, he must be a Jinshi in the same year as Nian Gengyao, let him come in.Li Fu will hand over the sign tomorrow——Has Mr. Fang come in? "Longkodo didn't know what Yongzheng asked him to do. He always wanted to peek at Yongzheng's expression. At this time, he glanced under the palace lantern, but saw that his face was expressionless. Zhang Tingyu groaned in his stomach. Hearing that he was going to see so many people, Can't help crying secretly, and ignore Longkodo.

"The minister is here!" Fang Bao, who was standing under the altar, listened to Yongzheng asking himself, and hurriedly took a step forward.Because Yongzheng repeatedly asked not to kneel down, he bowed his head and said with a smile: "Just now, I went to see the Thirteenth Lord, and it took less than half an hour to come in."

"Okay." Yongzheng said lightly, stepped into the hall, sat down cross-legged on the big kang in the East Nuan Pavilion, looked at the courtiers who filed in, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, I will give you a seat. In this hot day, it must be very hot." I'm thirsty, give me tea!" As he spoke, he saw a young eunuch come straight in with Shi Yi, and Yongzheng smiled and said, "Shi Zhanshi, you came from behind! I said that they were the first to meet Yang Ming, but you came in first— — Zhan Shifu is an idle yamen, you must have something important to see me at night?"

Shi Yizhi was a tall man with a head shaped like a waist-pressing gourd and a long and slender neck with a big Adam's apple. He moved up and down when he spoke. He looked ridiculous, but his expression was serious. He listened to Yongzheng's words and knocked heavily. He raised his head and raised his face and said: "Go back to the emperor, there is no 'free office' in the imperial court. If you are willing to do something, you can have something to do. If you don't want to do something, you can take a break from your busy schedule." Yongzheng smiled and said: "Well said. But what are you busy with? What's the matter?" Shi Yizhi bumped his head to the ground, his voice sonorous, and said abruptly: "From the beginning of this spring to the beginning of April, there has been a long drought and no rain in Shandong Province in Zhili. I don't know what the emperor will do?" Laughing angrily, he said, "Is there any reason why I don't know? In mid-April, 300 million stones of brown rice were allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the relief has already been done. Shandong Zhili not only has enough rations, but also has no shortage of grain and feed!" Unexpectedly As soon as the words fell, Shi Yizhi said again: "There has been a decree on disaster relief for a long time, and the benevolence of the Holy Lord is as clear as the sun and the moon. In the past, Yu Chenglong, a famous official of our dynasty, promoted the theory of "Yi", the long-term drought and no rain in the capital is due to treacherous officials in the court. , 'Little people live on the side of the tripod, and there is no ointment'. "Tun" hexagram in the Shangjing of "Yi" means that vegetation grows on the ground, full of vitality and difficulties. Here, "difficult" is used as a verb. "Ding" symbolizes power." "油" is fat, and the meaning is grace. The whole sentence means: there are villains in the capital, and the emperor's favor is difficult to deliver. Relief is like raising soup to stop boiling, how can we get rid of the bottom of the pot?" His few words are like broken pearls falling into the plate, crisp and crisp Suddenly, several ministers who were sitting and listening were as pale as paper. Even Zhang Tingyu forgot that he was hungry, and stared at Shi Yizhi, as if he saw Tu Xingsun popping up from the ground. "!"
"The way of heaven is vast, but it's hard for a sage to know." At first, Yongzheng was so startled that his hands trembled, and the milk in the cup splashed out, but then he calmed down, and said with a sneer, "You must be drunk and go crazy in front of me?" The people around me are all here now, you mean Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, or Longkodo?"

"Nian Gengyao is a traitor!"

After Shi Yizhi's words came out, everyone was startled, the ministers, guards, eunuchs and maids inside and outside the hall, dozens of people either did not sit or stood stiffly, all of them were like clay puppets, and it was so quiet that the temple was deserted for a while.Only Long Kedo's high-hanging heart fell, and he looked at the flickering candlelight somewhat in a trance.A gleam flashed in Yongzheng's eyes, and he gave everyone a look. After a long time, he smiled and asked: "You impeached Nian, that's why. Nian Gengyao has just made great achievements, and the government and the public know his integrity! I just listened." You, he must have been charged with a crime, right? Nian Gengyao is just a piece of imperial edict, this "unnecessary" three-character bad reputation, do you want to add it to my head?" His tone was as tasteless as white water, even It's a bit boring, but Zhang Tingyu has dealt with Yongzheng for more than 20 years, and he knows that the more vicious and cruel this master is, the more calm and calm his speech will be. , Consider how to mediate.When he looked at Fang Bao in a blink of an eye, he was calm and composed, with a pair of small black and bright eyes blinking constantly, obviously thinking about it.

"Return to the Lord." Shi Yizhi seemed to tremble, and immediately put away his timidity, and said calmly: "Since ancient times, which of the treacherous ministers has not made meritorious service? If Cao Cao didn't put down the chaos of Zhangjiao and sweep the princes, he would be able to be a leader." Was it the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty? Nian Gengyao’s battle on the western front was dispatched by the emperor, and all the power of the world was used to exhaust the wealth of the world, so that the front line had a great victory, and Nian, in order to prevent Yue Zhongqi from fighting for merit, dealt with the bad side and prevented the Sichuan army from entering Qinghai. As a result, the chief culprit, Luo Bu Zang Tenzeng, escaped from the law. This is his crime of obstructing his work, harming his talents, envious of talents, and Nian Gengyao recommended Nuo Min, who was linked to deceive the court. Gengyao has one word to blame. Since the imperial court cleared the treasury bank deficit during the Kangxi period, until now the provinces of Huguang, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian have not returned the treasury of the treasury—Long live, you just check, the deficit officials are most likely years old Gengyao’s cronies—if it’s not true, please behead your minister’s head to thank the world—Long live Rongchen finished playing: the officials selected by Nian Gengyao are only kept in the official department, and fill in any vacancies. Nian Xuan'; Nian Gengyao eats, also known as 'Jinshan'; Nian Gengyao's slaves return home to visit their relatives, and officials below the magistrate kneel down to worship. Nian Gengyao's annual salary is only 180 taels, and his family has more than 92 taels of private money Wanliang, where did they come from? This time, three thousand soldiers came to Beijing to interfere in civil affairs along the way, amassing people’s wealth, accepting bribes, riding a guard of honor that surpassed the king’s ceremonies, sitting in a dustpan when meeting the emperor, and being rude when meeting princes. How can Cao Cao be reborn? , can you be so domineering?" He talked eloquently, saying that Nian Gengyao supported his soldiers and monopolized power to deceive the emperor. All 39 crimes can be found in Volume [-] of "Records of Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty", and a few of them are mentioned here.Everyone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation trembled when they heard it, "...Long live in the old days, he said in the mansion: 'Government of officials is a real article'. That is to say, based on this matter, if you don't punish Nian Gengyao, there will be no day to do it! The traitor is as loyal as the big fraud, as straight as he is, begging for long live, checking the moon halo, and knowing the wind and rain. When the chariot comes down, the people will be blessed, the country will be blessed, and the sky will send auspicious rains to anoint China!" He finished speaking passionately, and nodded again and again.

Yongzheng was already thrilled to hear it.The impeachment of Nian Gengyao was preceded by Fan Shijie.But Fan Shijie is "making a knee-jerk secret", while Shi Yizhi is out in the open. Fang Bao and Wu Sidao discussed with them a few times, and there is absolutely no time to deal with Nian Gengyao. But how to deal with this reckless Shi Yizhi? His Eyelids drooped, eyes moved quietly, thought for a while, and suddenly shouted out of composure: "You are arrogant! With a "snap" strike, the pot, the lamp, and the inkstone all jumped up!

Yongzheng concealed the extreme contradiction in his heart, walked back and forth in the hall "anxiously", finally made up his mind, walked up to Shi Yizhi and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"The minister has finished playing."

"Do you want to be Longfeng Bigan?" Longfeng, Guan Longfeng, that is, the Huanlong family, was said to be a good minister of Xia in ancient history, and was killed for admonishing Xia Jie.Bigan, the uncle of King Zhou of Yin, a teacher of the official Shao, repeatedly persuaded King Zhou, and died of having his heart cut open.Later generations will regard them as a symbol of loyal ministers.

"Back to the emperor, Long Feng Bigan is a model of loyal ministers through the ages."

"I will fulfill you." Yongzheng tried his best to suppress the ups and downs of emotions, swallowed a mouthful of sour and astringent saliva, and said with difficulty, "Go back tonight and say goodbye to other family members, tomorrow will have a purpose."

"Yes……"

Seeing Shi Yizhi's tall and thin body stumbling out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and disappearing into the night, Yongzheng gritted his teeth tightly, suppressing the tears, and after a long while, took a heavy breath and said, "Call Yang Mingshi, Sun Jiagan and Sun Jiagan." Liu Molin withdrew, and handed over the sign tomorrow—oh no, Liu Molin stayed—let's discuss about Longkodo first.” Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu exchanged glances in astonishment, and they both stared at Longkodo.Long Ke Duo's head buzzed, his heart beat fast, his eardrums beeped, his face turned white immediately, his knees softened and he knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "My... listen to the hadith respectfully. "

"You get up, and you all sit down." Yongzheng said with a gloomy smile, "I don't want to do anything to you. I want to ask, what is the matter of Changchun Garden?"

Long Kedo's tense heart shrank again, but this question was expected, and he hurriedly explained the reason of the day, and said: "I know the rules. The late emperor made six southern tours. When returning to Luan, the nine admirals will clean up the palace and appease the law and order in Beijing." After saying that, he glanced at Ma Qi.

"Don't look at Ma Qi. Ma Qi didn't sue anyone." Yongzheng said coldly, "The imperial chariot of the capital is an important place for the country. How could I take it lightly? There are a few sealed documents. If you really want to read it, post it later. I'll show you the name transcript, okay?" Longkodo hurriedly bowed, and said with a dry smile, "How dare a slave? The master knows the slave's thoughts best. As far as the slave is concerned, there is no other place to live and live except the master is still the master. How dare you have two minds?" Ma Qi stepped forward and said, "No one said you have two minds. I am not pretending to be qualified. I am the governor of Shuntian at the age of 25. I have been an official in Beijing for 40 years. Luan picked him up, and participated in the last four times. There is no case where the infantry commanded the yamen to clean up alone. There are nearly [-] troops stationed in the suburbs of the capital, and they all go their own way. I heard that the last time the Queen Mother passed away, someone sent an urgent letter to Fengtian to invite the lord of the Eight Banners to come to Beijing, just like your current arrangement. If someone with ulterior motives takes the opportunity to make trouble, will I suppress it or you will suppress it?"

Fang Bao sat beside Yongzheng and listened quietly. Seeing that Ma Qi blushed again, he said with a smile: "Ma Zhongtang, don't lose your temper. Let's stop talking. Lord Long is a lonely official who read out the imperial edict, so we must have two hearts. It was an opportunity to play tricks at that time, how could you choose to mess around at the time of the world? But Master Long did not handle the matter wrongly. There is a time and date for the holy ancestor to return to the capital. They will all cooperate with the chief officials of the Shuntian Mansion and the capital, and they will only do it after they have sent a message. It is Prince Yi who is in charge of the capital's military equipment, and I will stay with the Thirteenth Lord in the Qingfan Temple. Please be safe, the thirteenth master is sick, and I am not sick, so just mention this, and I can always consult you?" Longkodo listened to the old man's words, and he was calm on the surface, but in fact he was calmer than Ma Qi. He felt even more uncomfortable, but it was difficult to attack, and sighed: "I am old. When I went to Qingfan Temple, Prince Yi coughed so badly that he couldn't speak clearly. Thinking that he is only in his early forties, he is so sick. , What a hero the thirteenth master was, I just sighed in my heart, and thought it was a trivial matter, but I just watched it from the palaces, so I didn't say anything."

"Uncle." Yongzheng said with a smile, "Ma Qi is just impetuous. You made a mistake in this matter. Do you understand?" Long Kedo hurriedly got up and said with a bow: "The servant messed up the job and caused controversy. It is indeed a crime. Please Your Majesty's forgiveness." Yongzheng said: "You also made mistakes unintentionally. If you made a mistake intentionally, you dare not be so blatant, and I will not sit with you. But since you have made a mistake, you have to follow the system. I am afraid it will be a little small. Small penalty."

When Fang Bao, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi heard this, they stood up quickly.Long Keduo lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "The emperor please issue an order."

"You made a mistake this time because of your old age and lack of energy. I pity you very much." Yongzheng's expression seemed a little disappointed, "The mistake was unintentional, and there is no need to deal with it. You have too many part-time jobs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Zong You are in charge of the mansion, you can’t take care of a lot of things, why don’t you let them all go, and keep the two positions of minister in the study and minister in charge of the guards, what do you think?”

Although he didn't mention the post of commander of the infantry, it was obvious from hearing that this was the post that Yongzheng really wanted to dismiss.Long Keduo hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The slave has no status for his duty, and the master is generous, but it is no longer suitable for the slave to stay in the study room to wait. I beg you to be exempted from all duties. I am a police officer who neglects official duties!"

"I'm already very sad to punish you, let alone punish you for wrongful crimes." Yongzheng sighed, "According to this, if you go back tonight and write your resignation letter, I will naturally have to warn you that you still have to stay as the minister of the study—— You just back off now."

Longkodo was in a mess and couldn't express himself. He kowtowed a few times, and he didn't even know what he said.Yongzheng comforted me softly: "I know your heart, this is just a scene, the predecessors scattered soil, and fascinated the eyes of the future. You just have to be at ease. You treat me loyally, and I will definitely not wrong you." Said Then he actually helped up Longkodo and sent him straight out of the hall.

Seeing Longkoduo being guided out by the eunuch, Yongzheng went back to the hall, and said with a smile, "I wanted to see Liu Molin, but Shi Yizhi appeared on the way! There is a vacancy in the nine-door admiral's yamen, let's discuss it, who will make it up?" Ma Qi shook his head, and said, "It's good to be someone who understands military affairs. The ten guards following Nian Gengyao seem to have been trained in the army. How about Mu Xiang?" Yongzheng licked his lips and said nothing. Could it be, and shouted outside: "It is said that Liu Molin came in——Mu Xiang'a has not fought a battle in Nian Gengyao's army, these ostentatious behaviors are not real skills. I don't believe that his 'Tai Chi Diagram' formation is really effective! Mu Xiang'a and ten of them are summoned by me, and he has other commissions, so he can't do it." "Then Bilita." Ma Qi said again: "Bilita is a veteran, and he also fought against the holy grandfather in the past. "

"The Fengtai camp is also important." Fang Bao said, "Zhang Yu and others can't take it up for a while. It's not appropriate for Bilita to work part-time for one person." "Well." Yongzheng turned to Zhang Tingyu again, "Hengchen, what are you doing? Don't talk?" Zhang Tingyu was in a trance at the moment. She just felt dizzy and no longer felt hungry.He reluctantly bowed and said: "Actually, I think Tuli Chen is the best. Sticking the pole was originally the inner court office of the palace guards, and Tuli Chen managed several foreign missions well. In the current situation, I think we should withdraw. At the place where the sticky pole was dropped, we joined the yamen with the commander of the infantry, with Tulichen as the commander. Raising troops in the yamen is easy to have sequelae. I have wanted to say this for a long time, and it is best to take advantage of this matter to be settled smoothly. " Yong Zheng smiled after hearing this and said: "It's good that the sticking point has been removed. There are already discussions outside that the sticking point is my personal guard, a bit like Dongchang Dongchang: the secret service agency of the Ming Dynasty. - Original note. Also said that the picture The bodyguard Li Chen brought was the "Xue Drop Zi". Legend has it that it was a murder weapon designed by Yong Zheng and his green forest friends. There was a sharp knife in the skin bag, which could be used to remove the head of a person unprepared and turn it into blood immediately. This "Chun" refers to an extremely cruel spy. It's like hell. The more he practices what I say, the more people will believe me! In fact, if you ask him to point to the place where the stick is stuck, he can't tell you which official he has killed or arrested without going through the Fa Si Yamen! Now! I simply withdrew and blocked the mouth of the villain." After saying that, he approached Zhang Tingyu, looked at Zhang Tingyu's face and said, "You look very bad, is there anything you can't do with me?"

Zhang Tingyu forced a smile and said: "I have nothing to do with this slave. I have something on my mind. I can't let go of Shi Yizhi's affairs. Zhan Shi's mansion used to serve the East Palace, but now there is no crown prince. This yamen is idle and rich. Nian Gengyao's family is like this now. Well, why would he risk his life to impeach Nian for no reason? Besides, the words he said can’t be said to have no effect, even if he is punished, there is no death penalty. To criticize so much, this Shi Yizhi is too ignorant."

"As far as love is concerned, love is still forgivable." Yongzheng was very sad when he said the central matter, "As far as reason is concerned, there is no way to treat Nian Gengyao without killing him!"

Fang Bao was listening, also very embarrassed.After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I have a way - to decide it by God!" Yongzheng turned his face and asked, "What do you mean?" Must participate in beheading Nian Gengyao, who came here to pray for rain. He was ordered to kneel outside the noon gate tomorrow to pray for rain. If it rains, the treacherous minister is not Nian Gengyao; if there is no rain, Nian Gengyao is not A treacherous official'—this is to vent your anger on Nian Gengyao's behalf, and to clear up his grievances.—Nian Gengyao can't hide what happened tonight."

"What about Shi Yizhi?" Yongzheng heard confused, "If it doesn't rain, will we kill him or not?" Fang Bao said with a smile, "I'm sure it will rain tomorrow. If there is no rain, Shi Yizhi has the words of the king Sin, what should be the crime of 'crazy talk', it should be dealt with by the Ministry of Punishments, just follow the law." Yongzheng walked to the entrance of the hall, subconsciously looked at the sky, but it was blue and cloudless, and the stars were shining brightly all day.He sighed, and said: "That's the way it is." Zhang Tingyu felt that Fang Bao's words were almost child's play, and just said, "Fang Linggao, this is not like the words of a scholar, but more like a magician from outside the country—" before he finished speaking , He fainted as soon as his eyes darkened.

The people in the hall were startled, Fang Bao stood up in a hurry, Yongzheng took a step back in shock, and shouted in a panic: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Liu Molin had already entered, guarding the door of the hall and did not dare to disturb them, now three steps He rushed in in two steps, and said: "Chen is proficient in medicine, Rong Chen will take a look first—" He squatted down hurriedly, opened Zhang Tingyu's eyelids, and held his pulse for a long time.Yongzheng asked anxiously, "What happened? What happened?"

"It's unbelievable..." Liu Molin shook his head, "How could this happen?"

"What are you talking about, telling me to guess riddles?"

"Ms. Zhang is not sick. I see...he's hungry."

Yongzheng frowned and said, "You're talking nonsense, I gave imperial meals twice today!" Gao Wuyong said beside him, "Maybe it's true, the two times when Zhang Tingyu was given meals were slaves, and there are too many people looking for him to do things. He was in a hurry to serve the master again, but he didn't finish his meal..." Zhang Tingyu had already woken up while speaking, seeing Yongzheng's group of people supporting him in astonishment, he said embarrassedly: "The minister was dizzy for a while, and the master was shocked." The two eunuchs stood up and smiled again, "Our Zhang family obeyed the precepts of our ancestors, cherished our blessings and ate less food, and even starved the prime minister, it's a big joke." Yongzheng couldn't "laugh", his heart kept going After sinking and sinking, it took a long time to wake up, and hurriedly called "Chuan Shan"!Fang Bao said: "Heng Chen may not be able to bear the meat and fish meat in the imperial meal." Liu Molin didn't care, and said: "I want a cup of milk, add more rock sugar, ready-made dim sum can be done in a few mouthfuls, no need to use imperial meal." Wuyong stood in a daze, and said sharply: "Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and do it!"

Zhang Tingyu greedily drank a large bowl of milk, and ate two more gong points, gradually regained his composure, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "I have never been so presumptuous in front of the master, and I have made a fool of myself today. I am fine now." , let's continue discussing the matter." Yongzheng meant that it was already late, and Zhang Tingyu was weak, so he wanted to change the discussion tomorrow.Zhang Tingyu said with a smile: "I originally planned to see Yang Mingshi and Sun Jiagan tonight, but I have saved it until tomorrow. Isn't it more tiring tomorrow? It's the old saying of the master, it's better to finish today's affairs today."

"Liu Molin, do you know what you were told to come in?" Yongzheng ordered everyone to have a bowl of ginseng soup, and asked with a dry cough.As soon as he spoke, the quiet and solemn atmosphere returned to the hall.Everyone thought that Liu Molin must say "I don't know", but unexpectedly Liu Molin kowtowed and said: "I know. This minister has violated Xu Jun in Ba Ye's mansion and offended Ba Ye. Long live must have listened to Ba Ye's words and will punish me. Needless to say, the minister did it on purpose, and it is up to the master." A few words made everyone laugh.Yongzheng said: "You are too clever! You didn't guess right at all. Xu Jun's flamboyant son took advantage of your eighth master's influence. As for you, a bohemian scholar, you did take my favor. It's enough to speak impartially! Eighth Master has already taught you a lesson on my behalf, so I won't punish you."

Liu Molin kowtowed and said, "Thank you, master, for your magnanimity, but Xu Jun is indeed a scum in clothes and a gentle beast. I didn't lose my manners when I was treated by the eighth master. I just spit on Xu Jun in his face. It's true. Xu Jun is from the Imperial Academy, not Eighth Master's servant, Eighth Master's arrogance is unreasonable. Although I am unrestrained, I really don't mean to be arrogant, I really can't swallow this tone."

"You should swallow this breath first." Yongzheng said calmly, "I know Su Shunqing's matter well, and I am angry with a woman and man, and I don't take this from you very much. You will see the Thirteenth Master later, and I will reward you with some money , and sent her well. There must be grass within ten steps, you who have read enough books don’t even know this truth?" Persuading others is easy but persuading oneself is difficult. The girl from He Yunyun actually touched her own hidden pain, she hurriedly recovered her mind, and said again: "I didn't ask you to come in to discuss private matters. I intend to let you serve as a foreign official, what do you think?" Liu Molin was stunned for a moment, and said: "I am a subject of the emperor, and I promise the country with my body. I am still the subject of the emperor in Beijing and abroad! Since the emperor asks 'what do you think', there are routines for those who are in the Imperial Academy, and they all aspire to be a student of politics, recruit students, and earn qualifications. It was also the same idea. The emperor wrote "On Cliques", which opened his mind after reading it - it was all for himself, not for the community. Long live to give the minister a medium-sized county, and the minister will take three years of small government, five years Nian Dazhi is a good shepherd for the emperor!"

Yongzheng sat cross-legged and his legs felt a little numb. He walked around casually on the ground, and suddenly smiled and said, "That's good, but you are not limited by the power of a county. I will give you the title of councilor and return it to Xining. Let's discuss the Daotai! Are you willing or not?"

……

"Well?"

"I dare not refuse to obey the edict, and I dare not tell lies: I don't want to go."

"why?"

Liu Molin repeatedly kowtowed and said: "General Nian is formidable and formidable, and the servants will not come!" Fang Bao, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu quickly exchanged glances, and Zhang Tingyu leaned forward with his hands on his knees and said, "My lord didn't say hello to him!" You serve Nian Gengyao. You are the counselor of Xining, the supervisor collects food and salaries for the Nian and Yue armies, and mediates disputes between the garrisons in Xining.

"Report to me directly." Yongzheng waved his hand, and Xing Nian came over, holding a small yellow box with two keys on it, Yongzheng took one and gave it to Gao Wuyong, "Take it for me." Xing Nian In the year, he presented the box to Liu Molin.Liu Molin held it in both hands, it was heavy, the corners were wrapped with gold-plated brass pages, the key teeth were criss-crossed, obviously it was a special lock, he immediately understood that this was a secret case that he had heard all the time but had never seen before!While he was in a daze, Yongzheng smiled and said: "This is an invention of the holy grandfather, which is unprecedented. Some people say that I have good eyes and ears and are not easy to be deceived by others. I rely on sticky poles to listen to corners. He is completely wrong! Up to the Governor-General Governor, down to the petty officials of the prefectures and counties, I give this box, just like correspondence with my family, say everything, whether it is true or false, right or wrong, no punishment or reward, no matter what time I take it apart , Approval at any time, but it is not an official document. If you have something to invent, if you are not sure, you can also ask me for instructions first—you report directly to Zhang Tingyu, and when you issue a clear document, it becomes an official business, so you must deal with it impartially gone."

Seeing Liu Molin in a daze, Ma Qi smiled and said, "Don't look at us being together with the emperor every day, we also have this box! This is a rare case, why don't you thank me quickly?"

"Yes, this is an odd number." Yongzheng stared at the distance, as if looking at something, "It's a pity that not everyone is grateful. Some people reward the right to play the secret book, show the box to outsiders, and show off their favor; There are some people who leaked the Zhu criticism I approved; these two kinds of people don’t give him face. There is also a class of people, like Mu Xiang’a, who sent secret documents full of flattery for Nian Gengyao. It’s disgusting to read—just now Ma Qi said that he could serve as the admiral of the Nine Schools, it’s ridiculous!” Ma Qi blushed when he scolded him, and hurriedly got up and said: “It’s a lie!” “It’s unintentional.” Yongzheng gestured for Ma Qi to sit down, "This is just a passing mention. In short, I want to talk about the things I care about. From the governors and generals to the whispers in the teahouses, anecdotes and anecdotes in the Qinlou and Chuguan, and the exchanges between scholars and bureaucrats." From then on, anyone who concerns the morals of the world and the lack of government affairs can play it boldly, just like the communication between a father and a son in a family, there is no taboo, it is the year of abundance and adversity, rain, rain, rain and drought... Just play it!"

Speaking of "flooding, sunny and drought", Yongzheng suddenly thought of Shi Yizhi, his heart twitched, and he didn't say anything, just lost his mind, and said after a while: "I'm really tired today, and I don't have energy. Liu Molin will see Zhang Tingyu tomorrow, just last year Gengyao will accompany you there.
