Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter Forty
It is said that Admiral Chai was loyal to himself and defended the isolated city. He felt the heart of heaven for a while, and he was granted the title of Uncle Yiyong with his grace.When the edict arrived, Admiral Chai's face suddenly became [-] points more glorious, and he became more and more loyal to the soldiers and defended with one heart.It wasn't until the winter of this year that Fu Jinglue's rescue troops came to Taiwan. The flag opened and the victory was achieved immediately.Admiral Chai led the crowd out to meet him, and saw that the Jinglue troops were as strong as tigers and bears, and they were in full swing, with flags, swords and halberds.Fu Jinglue sat on a horse, wearing a Beijing-style veiled hat, crowned with a ruby ​​crown, with peacock feathers inserted into the eyes, and in the middle of the brim of the hat, there was an oriental bead the size of a lotus seed nailed into it. The robe is buttoned with a jade belt, and a sachet of loyalty and filial piety. The outer cover is a turmeric double-breasted satin jacket, and the feet are covered with green satin boots. The face is like a full moon, and the eyes are like stars. The left hand holds the purple rein, and the right hand holds the brocade whip.There are ten or so generals behind, with blade guards.Admiral Chai rushed forward in a hurry, and called out: "Counselor Uncle Yiyong, Admiral Chai Daji welcomes Mr. Jinglue."

After all, please go down in front of the horse. Fukang'an saw that he didn't have a handbook and couldn't kneel down. Let's discuss it slowly."

Fukang'an's words were originally to test him. He only said that he would always refuse, always insist on his body, and try his best to show the physique of his subordinates.

Unexpectedly, Chai Daji has been praised by heaven many times at this time, and he is an earl, but he is used to being arrogant, so he replied with a smile: "Minister of Economics and Strategy has ordered, and the counselor should respect it."

With that said, straddle the horse and lead the way.Fukang'an had no choice but to endure his anger and walk with him.When I arrived in the city, I checked all the things, nodded and smiled, and didn't criticize a word, but secretly read his copy.Shengming is only the Son of Heaven, and Fukang'an received a few lessons after Zhu approved it. It was really an accident.The wording of this Zhu criticism is: Chai Daji has been guarding the isolated city for more than half a year. If he won the death of the soldiers and the people, how could he not fall into it?If it is said to be tricky and tricky, why didn't you follow the order and leave the city at that time?He said that the food was running out, so the foreign aid was so quick, if it was not urgent, wouldn't it be beneficial to delay the reinforcements?Daji has been praised repeatedly, or a little bit complacent, and he was disgusted by his lack of etiquette before Fukang'an, so he directly pointed out his shortcomings, which is not the degree of the minister's rest.

It has never been said that you are not afraid of officials, you are only afraid of management, Jinglue is the admiral's direct boss, how to escape Jinglue's hands, Jinglue will find trouble with you, it is really easy.If this plan doesn’t work, use that plan again.After the whole territory of Taiwan was purged, he found him and killed him. I wish this Tiandihui leader Lin Shuang Wenxing had been in the first two years, and the affairs were scattered, and there was still no result. Even the magistrates were ruined a lot.Because after the Tiandihui made troubles, the magistrates evaded punishment, turned the big into small, and changed the word "Tiandi" into the word "Tiandi", which just violated Gaozong's taboo.What Gaozong hated most in his life was changing the character. After returning to Xinjiang that year, the character "Hui" in the general Zhaohui's playbook was written as "(狗hui)". The name of the criminal is used as a bad word, and it is changed. In the previous book, when the dog was added (狗回), the dog was deleted. This has nothing to do with praise or criticism, and is inappropriate. How is it the same as the world of the text? It should be."

Later, it was submitted to the "Siku Quanshu", in which the word "Yi" was written as "Yi", and the word "Ku" was written as "Halogen". Unexpectedly, he just violated the taboo, and decreed that all the ministers of the Sikuguan should be handed over to the Ministry for discussion.

Gao Zong has practiced martial arts ten times since he pacified Taiwan.Those good ministers in the prosperous age all sang meritorious deeds and praised the sage without a mouth.Gaozong was even more complacent.On this day, Emperor Gaozong chatted with several confidants in the South Study Room.Gao Zongdao: "During the reign of Xiongzheng, there were 6000. He manages money well, so he has not encountered any distress after several major events.

Come to think of it, opening up Xinjiang cost more than 1 million taels, and Jinchuan used troops to spend another 7000 million taels. These two accounts are already more than 400 million. Four times of general exemption of money and food from the whole world, general exemption of grain and grain from seven provinces The second time, the six rounds of Xingjiang Jiangnan, these accounts, isn't it another 3 million taels of silver!At this time, there are more than [-] million in the national treasury.The imperial examination was only over [-] million yuan. I have been a country for decades and spent more than [-] gold. This idea is too much, and it can always be justified. "

He Shen said: "Since the emperor came to the imperial court, Nanping Burma, west expansion and back to Xinjiang, the prestige has spread far and wide, in the north and south of Tianshan Mountains, east and west of Congling Mountains, no matter whether it is a city or a nomad, there is no family that does not believe in the Great Qing Zhengshuo. In the Tang and Song dynasties, in the Zhou and Han dynasties, there is no one before, and no one to come after, so it’s not just pastable!"

Gao Zongdao: "You can't say that, it's too high, and it will be difficult for future generations to continue. Ten thousand years from now, I don't care what happens, I just hope that my descendants will keep this idea."

At this time, Ji Yun was already serving as a lecturer for the Sutra Banquet, and he was sent to walk in the upper study room. Knowing that the No. 15 prince Yongyan was the most favored by Emperor Gaozong, he immediately called Yongyan many benefits.Emperor Gaozong sighed: "There are 17 sons of mine, only Yong Lian and Yong Cong, who were born by Empress Xiaoxian. They are also smart and good-tempered, but they are all short-lived. Poor Empress Xiaoxian was too sad, so she also went with them. Yong Yan has a good temper, but in terms of intelligence, he is much worse than Lian and Cong."

Ji Yun said: "The fifteen sons of the emperor have a dignified manner and a benevolent heart. Gou Fei is endowed with virtue, how can he..."

Gaozong stopped and said, "There's no need to talk about it, I know it all."

Ji Yun knew the purpose, so he dared not speak any more.Gao Zong suddenly remembered something again, and asked Ji Yun: "My son asked you about your allusions, have you checked it out?"

Ji Yun hurriedly replied: "I only found half of it."

Gao Zongdao: "It's easy to play half of it."

Ji Buyao said: "The member of the Daxiang party is Xiang Li; the fourth assistant of the Suiren family is Ming Youbiyu Cheng Boyunqiu's "Tengwang Pavilion Preface", the son-in-law of the governor Yan Gong is Wu Zizhang; The person sitting with Yang Shichang was Huang Luzhi; Zhuo Wenjun's husband was Cheng Zhengzi, whose name was Gao, who died of illness and thirst, and died in May. These are the only things I got from my examination."

Gao Zongdao: "Because of the reputation of being erudite, what you have heard and seen is nothing more than that."

Ji Yun said: "Bowen remembers strongly, the minister is not as good as Peng Yuanrui."

Gao Zong said with a smile: "Peng Yuanrui, don't mention him anymore. I think you all call him a learned man. He took the examination and came up with a poem about reading from the right side. No one in the audience knew the source. , Even the chief and vice presidents don't know how to return. Today I asked Peng Yuanrui. I thought he was so knowledgeable about the past and the present that he knew everything about the falsehood. Unexpectedly, Yuanrui also made a fool of himself. It's hard to fall."

Ji Yun said: "The emperor's sage knowledge is profound, Peng Yuanrui naturally can't see it. However, what book does this question come from, the emperor will always teach him."

Gao Zong said with a smile: "What is the instruction? This night, I read the book from the right side of the lamp."

After all, I laughed.

Ji's and the others were laughing.

Just as they were making a fuss, the eunuch brought in the manuscript, Gaozong took it, then flipped through it, and said with a frown, "Why is it such a coincidence?"

What did He Shen ask in a hurry?Gao Zongdao: "It's a coincidence that they are in a bunch."

Immediately He Shen said: "It's really a coincidence. Although it is peaceful now, these three places are very important. It is difficult to choose people for the place."

Gao Zongdao: "Who do you want to send?"

Seeing that everyone was there, He Shen knelt down and said, "It's a matter of promoting talents, I don't dare to be rash for a while, I beg you to go home and think about it carefully.

Zong Gao nodded, and then said to the crowd: "He Shen is cautious when doing things. He is always unwilling to get an ordinary sentence right. Although there are some mistakes, it is much better than a rough-hearted one." "

Now go away.At this time, the officials of the Manchu and Han Dynasties, upon receiving the news, all went to Heshen's mansion to talk about favors, give gifts, and ask him for referrals.He Shen made up his mind that he would not refuse anyone who came, and he would accept all the gifts. After all the gifts were received, he quietly recommended a few people.After the edict came down, everyone was disappointed.It turns out that it was written in the imperial edict: Fu Kang'an, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, supplemented by Fukang'an, governor of Sichuan, He Lin, and governor of Huguang, Bi Yuan.Everyone wasted the wronged money, and they were so dumb that they had nowhere to complain.He Shen was used in vain, how did Gaozong know.

But it is said that Gao Zongxi is rich and rich, enjoying all the glory and wealth, and the prestige is enough, and the strong also strives for it.

What Qin Huang and Han Wu could not do, he could do; what Han Zu Tang Zong could not enjoy, he could enjoy, but he was still not satisfied.I don't think it's too expensive, so I came up with a novel method, intending to pass on the big position to the prince, and he himself is the emperor to teach the government, and he still exercises the power alone, and his name is particularly respected.The decision has been made, so the decree was made to make Prince Jia Yongyan the crown prince.This Yongyan was born by the imperial concubine Wei Jia. On the sixth day of October in the 25th year of Qianlong, she was born in "the spring of the heaven and earth."

First, Heshen searched for the news, and then went to Prince Jia's mansion to announce the good news. This was originally a habit of offering hard work to please, but he just wanted to make a new favorite, for the sake of preserving his salary.Unexpectedly, seeing that Heshen was usually treacherous and greedy, the crown prince would have looked down on him long ago, so he just replied flatly: "It's hard for you, I know."

He Shen got a bad nose, felt very uncomfortable, and felt uncomfortable, so he had to say a few perfunctory words before dismissing him.The crown prince followed the news and ordered the chief official: "In the future, when He Shen comes to see him, there is no need to inform him, just return to his ancestral system and the prince cannot privately communicate with court officials."

The next day when the imperial edict came, the crown prince took over the marsh and thanked him for his kindness, so the name was corrected and the Prince Jia's mansion was changed to the crown prince's mansion.

In the first month of the next year, Emperor Gaozong ordered Zen to be located in the crown prince, and the Ministry of Rites set out a ritual note.After conferring and accepting the ceremony, the emperor respected Gaozong as the Supreme Emperor, and when it came to government affairs, he was still instructed by the Supreme Emperor.The year name of the new emperor, appointed by the Supreme Emperor, is the word "Jiaqing", that is, this year is the first year of Jiaqing, and it is Emperor Renzong.Although Renzong is the emperor, he only has a false name, and he must respectfully request the emperor's will for any serious matters.Therefore, a group of ministers such as He Shen still enjoy the glory, receive wealth and honor, and feel like gods at ease.The emperor also warned him two or three times. The emperor said to He Shen: "The two of us must be fate in the previous life. No matter what, we can accommodate. But I am old, and I closed my eyes for a day. The people who came later, I'm afraid I won't be willing to tolerate it like this."

He Shen played back: "I have been blessed by the emperor's grace, and have been together for so many years. I and the emperor can be regarded as husbands. The emperor never hides, and the minister can't bear to be alone! The new master Hong En, whether it is thunder or rain, It can't be added to the old minister."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Are you going to die for me? It doesn't matter whether it's reasonable or not. It's true, and future generations will discuss it. Since ancient times, there has only been martyrdom for the country, not the Lord. Think about it, what kind of person do you think you are?" ah!"

He Shen said: "The old officials are foolish and loyal. They only know how to report to the Lord. Who has the time to care about the discussions of later generations."

When the emperor heard this, he was naturally happy.

Among the Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, when it comes to blessings, Gao Zong must be ranked first. Yanfu, Koufu, Jianfu, Weifu, Yinxiafu, and children and grandchildren are all included.Don't talk about anything else, just look at the 60-year governance achievements of the Qianlong Dynasty, how prosperous it is!How brilliant!As soon as the internal meditation was performed and the name of Jiaqing was changed, the whole world erupted like a turmoil. The White Lotus Sect was launched in Hubei and Sichuan, and foolish people from all over the world responded in droves. Beijing is here.Gaozong and Renzong were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they hurriedly called the ministers to discuss.

It turns out that the White Lotus Sect is similar in nature to the Yellow Turban at the end of the Han Dynasty. It is nothing more than borrowing the name of fasting to cure diseases, forging scriptures and mantras, and deceiving people to collect money.If politics is clear and moral education is serious, how can it happen and how can it spread.The leader of the White Lotus Sect, surnamed Liu, named Song, was born in Anhui. During the 40 years of Qianlong, he preached in Luyi, Henan. Still insisting on preaching his teachings, he sent party disciples Liu Zhixie and Song Zhiqing to Sichuan, Shanxi and Hubei to teach disciples. Every day is like a day, and every year is like a year.By the 58th year of Qianlong's reign, there were more than three million people counted.Liu Zhixie thought of something, and first sent the congregation to spread rumors, saying that the world's fate is about to come, and the true son of heaven has already been born.The ignorant and foolish people were so frightened that they sought solutions.Liu Zhixie named Wang Fafa a child of Luyi Wang's surname, and pretended to be a descendant of Zhu Ming. He chose March [-]th and raised a flag to start an incident.After all, the strategy was negligent, and it was discovered by the officials, and the iron lock and the hammer were used to catch the will.But Liu Zhixie was fast and ran away every day without being caught.Because Wang Fafa was a child, he was convicted of distributing Xinjiang. The rest of the rebels, regardless of their leaders, were all beheaded.The big officials reported to Beijing, and Emperor Gaozong issued a decree.It doesn't matter if this imperial decree doesn't matter, those tiger officials, wolf officials, rat servants and fox messengers, who have no mouth to praise the saints, are gearing up one by one, holding ropes and lottery, and going to eight places in the four towns to search from house to house.Only innocent people suffered, their families went bankrupt, and people died. I don’t know how many people died wrongfully.

This incident has caused the people to complain and become angry.In addition, in the last years of Qianlong, the Miao people in Guizhou, Hunan, and Sichuan rebelled against their orders, and the imperial court ordered generals to conquer them.The officials forced the people to rebel, and the White Lotus Sect took the opportunity to incite them, so they advocated a hundred harmony and left together in a commotion.At this time, Nie Jieren and Zhang Zhengmou were from Zhijiang Yidu, Lin Zhihua was from Dangyang, Yao Zhifu was from Xiangyang, the wife of the leader Lin Qi was from Baokang, Yunyang, Yichang, Shinan, Jingmen, Laifeng , Youyang, Zhushan, Dengzhou, Xinye, Guizhou, Badong, Anle, Jingshan, Suizhou, Xiaogan, Hanyang, Huilin, Longshan dozens of prefectures and counties responded, and the momentum was overwhelming, extending from Chu Province to Qin Province , Extending from Qin Province to Guizhou Province, half of the world gradually became the world of the White Lotus Sect.Don't be surprised if Jingzhong follows this newspaper!
At present, Emperor Gaozong summoned the ministers of the Manchu and Han Dynasties to discuss the grand plan of the conquest.Gao Zongdao: "It's a pity that both Fukang'an and Agui are out of vacancies. Now that something has happened, there is no one reliable.

"Ji Yun said: "Ah Wen Chenggong is definitely a great talent. Not only has he made great achievements, he is unparalleled in martial arts, but he has established a court with integrity and planned various major plans, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.For example, if the river is governed, the new roads of Yifeng and Kaocheng will be changed, and the cost of transporting grain and increasing troops will be taken into account in raising the salary.Therefore, Hai Lancha is so powerful and conceited that even seeing Grandpa, she would be submissive. "

He Shen said: "Hai Lancha is a courageous husband, so he is naturally easy to be deceived. Ah Gui's method of coaxing people is so proficient."

Ji Yun said: "Sure enough, Hai Lancha's arrogance has not been criticized, but it's okay to talk about vigilance."

He Shen said: "How do you know him?
" Ji Yun said: "Didn't the Lord know about Hai Gong's robbery of horses?" "

He Shen replied that he didn't know.Ji Yun said: "Back then, Haigong was still working as a bodyguard in Beijing, and he was very close to Batu, the king of the Mongolian county. Bawangma had a steed, and Haigong also had a steed. When the weather was warm and sunny, Sha Pingcao In a shallow place, the two sons will have to compete on horseback. Bawang is fat and the sea stallion is handsome. Compared with him, Bawang is always a little worse. This year, the holy driver visited Mulan. The king wanted to change horses with him, but Haigong refused. Bawang smiled and said, "If you don't agree, be careful at night. I have the ability to ask someone to steal the horse." Haigong smiled and said, "That depends on the prince." On the first month of the month, Bawang sent someone to steal the horse in the Haigong camp. He saw the fine horse grazing alone in the wasteland without anyone guarding it. The man was overjoyed and got on the horse. Someone said: "I'm sorry to ask you to worship the lord, please take precautions, I'm going to steal the lord's horse immediately." The man galloped back and told Ba Wang that Ba Wang had sent orders to defend the camp, and there were hundreds of thousands inside and outside. People, watching the steed, don't even dare to move for a moment.

After waiting for most of the night, there was no movement, and everyone was a little tired.Suddenly I heard a shout outside the tent: "The horse thief has escaped." All of a sudden, all the tents shouted to catch the thief, and everyone hurried out of the tent to chase after them.At this time, inside and outside the camp, shouts were like thunder, and all the horses in the camp escaped.When it was recovered, the steed was gone.It turned out that Haigong was lurking behind Bawang's tent, but he called the people who followed him and shouted in all directions to lure the guards out of the tent, so Haigong stole the horse and flew.When they met the next day, Ba Wang convinced him of his wisdom and bravery, so he gave him the horse. "

He Shen still wanted to talk, but Gaozong was already impatient, and stopped, saying, "How wise and brave the dead person is, it will be useless in the end. When the military is busy, there is still time to chat, and you are too Feel free."

He Shen and Ji Yun responded with two "yes," and fell silent.Renzong said: "According to my subordinates, the religious bandits are nothing more than rioters in the interior. No matter how rampant they are, they are not as good as foreign enemies. Why do we need a general who is both wise and brave?

Gao Zongdao: "You take the religious bandits too lightly. Haven't you seen the record of the border officials?" "

Renzong said: "The border officials are accustomed to extravagance. If they are too extravagant, they can get rid of their ties. The bandits are always just mobs. They don't have a formation and don't know the strategy. Just send two people who have passed through the battle. It's very easy. But after the peace, the place where the disaster happened, you need to take good care of it."

Gao Zong nodded and said: "Your opinion is quite reasonable, but now, who should you send?"

Renzong said: "According to the humble opinion of my son, there is no need to send people for the time being, but I will instruct the governors of those provinces to quell the chaos within a limited time. Until it is necessary to send people, Tong Ming's military strategy is very experienced, and the guard Eredengbao also Valiant, both seem to be dispatchable."

Gao Zongdao: "You reminded me that Eredengbao is now handling the seedling affairs, and it is inconvenient to transfer. Mingliang is very useful."

Renzong said: "Can Mingliang still be used?"

Gao Zongdao: "Ming Mingliang is the son-in-law of Prince Lu. I remember that the old imperial concubine disappeared and was buried in the Eastern Tomb. On the way, the husbands were afraid of walking. Yes, the whips and sticks were handed over, and they were on the road for several days. The team battles were pruned, just like marching. King Lu sighed: "My son-in-law is really talented!Later, the Battle of Jinchuan finally made a great contribution.How could I have forgotten him now when we were in dire straits?You know I'm too old to be confused! "

Renzong said: "Bi Hang and Hui Ling are both big officials in the frontier, and the thieves are in other realms. It seems appropriate to still blame him for handling it. Now that he has sent someone, he can get rid of it."

Gao Zongdao: "This is true."

According to the order of the military aircraft, the governor of Huguang, Bihang, and the governor of Hubei, Huiling, specially suppressed the thieves in Jingzhou.General Hengrui of Xi'an is dedicated to suppressing the thieves in Dangyang.The time limit is cleared, and the victory will be played immediately.The decree is very strict.

After the incident of the White Lotus Sect, Gaozong and Renzong, father and son, spent the night worrying about work, hoping to save the catastrophe.Whether it is easy to level or not, it must be disclosed in the next reply.
