Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 51 The Son of Emperor Jian Qixun Was Honored
It is said that the disciples of Tianli entered the imperial city, and they were fascinated after walking a few steps.Turning left and right, they are all Jiege Chonglou and Lingong Langyuan. I don’t know which way people are coming from, and I don’t know which way to come out. It’s like Lu Boyan’s eight formations. Grandma Liu entered Yihong Courtyard, which made me fascinated Dizziness, dizziness.Unexpectedly, there was a loud shout, guards and guards, killing the future from all directions.Although the believers are brave, they are not familiar with the path and suffered a disadvantage. The one who killed Donghuamen was killed by the guards and fled in all directions; , anti-customer-oriented, but was supported by him for most of the day.

However, Minning, the second son of the emperor, was studying in the upper study with his younger brothers. Suddenly, he heard that there was a commotion in the southeast corner, so he hurriedly sent his wife to visit.Immediately reported: "A group of rebels who don't know where they came from broke into the palace and wanted to enter the palace, and the guards are resisting.

"The second son of the emperor said: "It's amazing, the thief has entered the palace, and the empress is going to be frightened.

Then he said to the three princes: "Three brothers, hurry back to Chuxiu Palace and see if the Queen Mother is scared?"You don't have to come out anymore, you'll just be there to accompany the Queen Mother. "

The three princes responded and got up and went inside.The three princes had just left, and the eunuch reported: "Chang Yonggui, the chief eunuch, killed the two thieves at Cangzhen Gate. The thieves dare not go that way again, and have changed to the Yangxin Gate."

The second son of the emperor said: "Quickly take my Sacking Bird Tong waist knife.

"Get it at once. The second son of the emperor ordered the eunuchs: "Quickly spread the ladder and climb up the wall to look around. If you see a thief, report it to me." "

Seeing this, Bei Le Mianzhi asked: "Second brother, brother also take a shotgun, can you help defend?"

The second son said: "That's very good."

Mianzhi asked the eunuch to fetch the gun.Suddenly the eunuch shouted on the wall: "Second Lord, the thief is here."

The second son of the emperor hurriedly asked: "How many people are there?"

The wall replied: "About ten or so."

The second son of the emperor hurriedly ordered the cloth ladder, and when he climbed up the wall to look, he saw a group of believers with white scarves on their heads and white knives in their hands, swarming like mourners.The first person, holding a big white flag, commanded the supervising team there.When the eunuchs saw this, they almost fell to the ground in fright.The second son of the emperor took his time and loaded the shotgun with powder.At this time, six or seven believers are already jumping up and down on the roof of the dining room opposite Yangxinmen, with the potential to open the door and enter directly.The second son of the emperor pressed down on the shotgun, saw the real thing, and fired a shot. The leader of the disciples was shot and rushed down, straight to death on the ground.The man holding the white flag waved the flag and shouted loudly, ordering everyone to jump down and attack the goal quickly.The second son of the emperor fired another shot, and the flag-bearer groaned and fell down.At this time, Baylor Mianzhi also got the shotgun, and the two elder brothers bombarded them in a ring, beating the believers so that they could not retreat.Just as the officers and soldiers arrived, Prince Cheng, Prince Yi, and the ministers of the House of Internal Affairs went into the palace to search and arrest them. In the inner dining room, two more believers were searched.Suddenly, it was reported that the believers outside Longzong's gate were holding rosin torches, intending to set fire to the gate.The second son of the emperor said: "That's okay! Who will arrest him?"

King Yi replied, "I'll capture him."

With that said, he led the guards to go.The eunuchs said: "It's going to rain."

When the second son of the emperor looked up at that day, he saw a black cloud pushed up from the northwest corner, which moved across the sky in an instant, covering all the moonlight.After a while, a strong wind blew up, and the Taotao surged from the northwest to the southeast.Looking at that day again, the purple became more and more fierce. In the dim clouds and mist, ten thousand golden snakes appeared faintly, turning around randomly, the clouds were misty, the wind roared, the sky was as low as a cover, and the ground was as slippery as oil.All of a sudden, there was a flash of lightning, a bang of thunder, and heavy rain poured down like Kuanglu Waterfall. .The eunuch flew to report: "The thieves outside the gate of Zhongzheng Hall were all killed by lightning, and their bodies were all buried in the Yu River in Wuying Hall."

The second son of the emperor said: "The thief rebelled, so it can be seen that the sky will not tolerate it."

At that time, King Yi and King Cheng reported successively: "The thieves inside and outside the imperial city have been searched out, and there is no one left."

The second son of the emperor said: "Don't even ask, wait for the master to come back, and personally send it."

So he went in to condolences to his mother.

The queen was so frightened that she offered incense and made a wish in front of the Buddha. When she saw the second son, she asked how things were going.The second son of the emperor said: "Don't worry, Empress, the thieves have been searched and killed by the princes and princes, and the sky is also helping us. There are many people who died in heavy thunder and heavy rain. Now there is not a single thief inside or outside the palace."

The queen said: "Amitabha! Now I am relieved.

Where is the master, it is only reasonable for you to always fix a notebook. "

The second son of the emperor said: "The minister knows."

They talked a few more words before leaving.

The second son of the emperor personally held a pen and made a notebook. The main purpose is: "At noon on the fifteenth day of this month, the ministers were waiting in the upper study room. They heard that Chang Yonggui, the chief eunuch who closed the door, and others had won two thieves. It was almost not engraved. , Thinking nothing happened, Shang Tong went to Chuxiu Palace to greet the Queen Mother. Hearing that a thief crossed the wall and entered from the west of the inner right door. The sons and ministers were helpless, so they boldly sent people to the house and took in the bagged shotgun and waist knife. Before the soldiers entered, unexpectedly, five or six thieves came to the dining room on the south wall opposite the Yangxin Gate, and wanted to flee northward from the west wall. The three thieves are still on the wall. One of the thieves is holding a white flag and seems to be commanding. The son will knock down the thief holding the flag, and the rest will not dare to go up the wall. The son will go back to Chuxiu Palace to make a statement. Please rest assured. , and asked Zichen's third younger brother not to leave the left and right sides. Zichen went to Xichang Street West Factory to investigate. The inner dining room was searched and the two thieves were recovered, and they sent adept bodyguards to the east long street of Chuxiu Palace to prevent otherwise. Peace. Pray for the comfort of the Sacred Heart."

Etc.A catastrophe happened, and the fog melted away.

This report was delivered to Xingzai, and Renzong was overjoyed, and made an edict to make Minning Prince Zhi, increase his salary by 2000 taels of silver, and give him a shotgun named Wei Lieqiang. Baylor Mianzhi, rewarded with the title of county king.On the one hand, he issued an imperial edict to sin against himself, and blamed all officials at home and abroad for leaking corpses, which caused disasters that have not been seen since the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties.When the officials of Hu Yi got this shock, they went to the palace to plead guilty.Renzong said: "It's something that has never been seen since ancient times. Although I am not virtuous, you are too good at enjoying life and not paying attention to state affairs. The sky changed the year before last, and I have repeatedly warned against it." But anyone who is willing to listen to one or two sentences will never make such a big joke. Now I want to punish you, but I will not be able to cure you. As long as we, the monarchs and ministers, from now on, put the people's feelings and state affairs in our hearts, there will be peace. Although not necessarily, a big joke like this can be avoided.

After hearing this, the officials had nothing to say except meeting and saying "yes".

Renzong suddenly thought of something again, and said to the crowd: "Don't worry about it. Ji Lun is really unreasonable. He is the commander of the infantry. The thief is causing trouble in Beijing, and he is completely unconscious. Look at him, he's a jerk, no jerk!"

Shangshu Tuojin said: "Ji Lun is extremely confused. According to the ancestral system, there will be more than one death. I hope that the emperor will be merciful and save him from death."

Renzong was silent.All the ministers turned pale with fear, only the leader Daoji would be destroyed.Unexpectedly, when the imperial edict came down, he was only deposed, and Shang Shuying was appointed as the commander of the infantry. There was no other punishment, and all the officials were amazed.Renzong said to his subordinates: "This matter, after all, is blessed by God. Think about it, we just arrived at Yin Matu's place, and we have to send a team to enter the sentry, but the mountain will explode, making hunting unsuccessful. Children Go back to Beijing first, but it’s just this time’s difficulty. If the mountains don’t rise, and the men are enjoying themselves in the hunting grounds, the imperial city would have been disturbed for a long time.”

When the officials heard about it, they all congratulated him.Renzong said displeasedly: "You are the ones who apologize, and you are the ones who congratulate you. You people are really good at joking. However, no matter how bad things are in the world, you should always pay attention to it."

After hearing these words, everyone became bored, lowered their heads and lowered their hands without saying a word.

Renzong passed the decree back to Luan, started from Baijian, stationed in Yanjiao on the [-]th, and arrived in the capital on the [-]th.When Renzong saw Prince Zhi, he was so happy that he asked him to come to the imperial chariot, held his hand, asked a lot of questions, and then asked him to straddle his horse and follow Yuhun into the city together.Back in the palace, Yinghe, the commander of the infantry, reported that Lin Qingji, the head teacher, had been captured in Huangcun.Renzong said: "Tell him to come in, and I will interrogate myself."

Prince Zhi said: "Your Majesty is rich in gold and precious body, why bother yourself?"

Renzong said: "I want to see how this traitor is so bold."

Prince Zhi said: "In the past few days, yellow sand has been blowing, dust and shadows have been covering the sky, and the day and night are similar. Rumors have spread all over the capital, and they have been disturbing since nightfall. Now that the emperor has returned to the palace, people's hearts can always be restored." It's a deal."

Renzong said: "I want to interrogate myself, and it's just for the sake of calming people's hearts."

On this day, Renzong was promoted to Yuyingtai, mentioned Lin Qing, the leader of the teaching, and the eunuchs of the Tongjiao, interrogated them carefully, and found out the reasons for the rebellion.Following the order of the officials of the Ministry of punishment, they were kidnapped and sent to the vegetable market, where they were executed Ling Chi and passed on to Shouji.On the one hand, he ordered Na Yanchengpei, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, to be envoys and ministers to guard and control the soldiers in Shandong and Henan. Go to the army to wait for dispatch.

This Yang Yuchun made great contributions during the chaos of the White Lotus Sect. He was loyal, brave and fierce, and none of the generals in Manchu and Han could compare to him.Immediately after receiving the imperial edict, he immediately led his troops to Weihui's mansion, marched westward from the canal, and approached the Daokou teaching camp.This Daokou town is next to the canal, only eighteen miles away from Hua County, and there are mountains of grain.Li Wencheng was unable to go out to command because of a hamstring attack, so he led the elite to stay here.As soon as Yuchun arrived at the crossing, he shouted for an assault, galloped forward, and taught the people who were in charge of Pi Yi, and won the first battle completely.He was planning to march to the north bank, cut down the pontoon bridge, burned the ferry, and guarded the throat.Small officials were no match for big officials, so they had to withdraw their troops and return to camp.

When Renzong heard about it, he issued an imperial edict to take full responsibility.The imperial envoys and Gao Futai were all subjected to censorship.Na Yancheng said to Yuchun: "My brother is brave and good at fighting, and the thieves are terrified when they hear the news. From now on, it's easy for my brother to do things in the battle."

Yu Chun said: "I am deeply forgiven by the Commander-in-Chief, things on the battlefield are changing in an instant, and it is impossible to tell everything.

Na Yancheng said, "I know that too." "

Yuchun said: "According to the Counselor, the bandit camp in Daokou Town is very important. If the Daokou Town is not breached, the Taoyuan in Huaxian County will not be restored. If the Taoyuan in Huaxian County is gone, how can this province be cleaned up? If this province is not cleaned up, Shandong Zhili will never have a peaceful day."

Na Yancheng said: "The thieves in Kaizhou in Zhili have already been ordered to handle it by Tuojin. As for Shandong, they sent Su Ershen to go. We only need to take care of Henan."

Yu Chun said: "Fortunately, there is Liu Qingtian in Shandong. Although Liu Qingtian is a civil servant, he really fights with all his might. I heard that he is even more powerful than a general.

"Na Yancheng said: "Didn't you mention Liu Qing, the envoy of Shandong Salt Transport?"What a good officer.When the White Lotus Sect was in chaos, he was just a county magistrate.Wang Sanhuai waited so aggressively, but when he saw him, he was very obedient.Going back and forth to Tiger Cave and Longtan is like a loving mother training a baby, which is really a rare thing in history.The superiors rewarded him for his incorruptibility and integrity, and promoted him to Sichuan Province.

Governor Le didn't get along very well with him, and he changed his post after referring to his eight words of "there is more than enough in the civil society and not enough". "

With that said, a corner of the official military report was handed in at the gate.After taking it apart, Na Yancheng smiled and said, "Just talking about Liu Qing, Liu Qing's official document has arrived. Thanks to him, the bandits in Shandong have almost done well after winning three battles in a row."

It turned out that Liu Qing was working in the Department of Salt Transportation, and when he heard about Li Wencheng's attack, the Caozhou church members in Shandong responded after hearing the news, and went to the court overnight to ask the governor Tongxing to send troops to arrest him.Tong Futai was very unhappy, and said lightly: "My brother is a salt official, so I have nothing to do with him, why bother to bother. And when Chen Zhentai has a newspaper, the brothers will have their own bandits. It's a national business. Si Li led troops to suppress bandits in Sichuan Province, so he has a little knowledge of military affairs.

Furthermore, if the bandits harass things, if the arrest is delayed for a day, one more place will be ravaged.The longer the days, the wider the spread, and the more troublesome the suppression and arrest.Otherwise, I would never have dared to go beyond my duty and commit such a crime. "

Tong Futai said: "Listen to my brother's words, I am determined to lead my own troops to stop the bandits."

Liu Qingdao: "The commander-in-chief really has no one to send, so it's all right for Si Li to fill up the count once."

Tong Futai said: "My brother would like to go. But today is too late. It will take three to five days at least to mobilize troops to raise wages and deploy."

Liu Qingdao: "Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire, and treating thieves is like treating crime. It will take a long time. I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble."

Tong Futai said: "I always do it for you.

"After three days, I managed to gather 2000 troops and hand them over to Liu Qing. Liu Qing took the lead, and set off for Caozhou in the starry night. However, the prime minister has been used to enjoying the blessings for a long time, and his body is so tender that he can't walk. Forty or fifty miles away, feet were swollen and blistered, and they all complained endlessly, and those who took three steps forward and two steps back refused to move forward. Liu Qingbai's urgency was useless, so he urged him twice, and the soldiers complained: "You old man Sitting on a horse is very comfortable, but how can I know the pain of walking.The wind was tight, and when I walked in the wind, the sand was rubbed into the straw sandals, and my feet were covered with blisters.Usually it is the flesh and blood of parents, it is so cheap to be born on us, but it is so expensive to be born on your old man, with boots and socks wrapped, and you have to ride a sedan chair and a horse, so you know that soldiers are not made by humans. "

Liu Qing heard it on the horse, so he asked his servant to bring a pair of straw sandals, immediately took off his boots, put on the straw sandals, jumped off the horse and said to everyone: "Everyone walks hard, but I am comfortable on a horse. It is logically unreasonable. Now I am also walking in straw sandals, I only wish that everyone's footsteps are a little tighter, and I will benefit a lot."

After finishing speaking, he led the team forward at a fast pace.Since then, I have to rush eighty or ninety miles every day.After walking for two days, the sergeants were all moved. They surrounded Liu and kowtowed crisply: "Please command the horse and vow to kill the thief with all your might."

Liu Qing was overjoyed.As soon as he arrived at Fangshan and met the congregation, Liu Qing took the lead and charged, fighting desperately.The believers are all mobs, they have never been through such a big battle, they were killed and fled in all directions.When Chen Zhentai heard about the war, he hurried to support him. Fangshan had already been calmed down.Taking advantage of the victory to recover Dingtao, he fought Hanjiamiao again, and Hujiaji three times, winning consecutive victories.Every time a battle starts, Liu Yuntai leads the charge, and Chen Zhentai falls behind to support it.Mr. Zhou Jishan of Jingxi has "Shandong Xinyuefu Chanting Its Stories", in which he said: When he hears the song, he is angry like thunder, and the scales and bones of the waves are like clouds.

When he came back, he entered the general's account and toasted with the general.

After the teaching affairs were settled down, Liu Qing was promoted to Shandong Fantai on his merits. Because Liu Qing didn't agree with the big officials and couldn't bear trivial matters such as thin books and money, he asked himself to change his military position.The imperial edict was changed to the commander-in-chief of Denglai Town.From ancient times to the present, it has not been very common to turn soldiers into soldiers by being scholars, kill thieves by following officials, and change from civil servants to military.This is all for later.

At that moment, Na Yancheng followed the military report and informed Yang Yuchun of Liu Qing's three battles and three victories.Yu Chun said: "It's amazing, he has done such a great job as a civil servant, and we didn't even break a crossing. I'm really ashamed to die."

Na Yancheng said: "If the counselor starts a battle, brother will lead the troops from the headquarters to support you."

Yuchun was overjoyed, ordered all the troops in the headquarters, and left the team with palms.With his spear and horse leaping, he galloped straight to the military entrance.The breeze blows the beard, and the horse walks like flying.Looking back at the sergeants under his command, they are all alive and well.In Yuchun, the governors marched forward and shouted to attack, while the congregation was busy resisting, the battle was in full swing, when the soldiers that Yancheng responded to arrived, the congregation could not resist the enemy, so they abandoned their camp and fled.Counselor Yang's imperial envoy joined forces to chase after him, and took advantage of the situation to conquer Taoyuan.When Yancheng wanted to withdraw his troops, Yang Yuchun said, "It's better to take advantage of this to encircle Huaxian County. Once Huaxian is underway, the big thing will be settled."

Na Yancheng said: "Huaxian County is the old rule of the ancient Huazhou. The city wall is strong and thick, and it may not be easy to attack."

Yuchun said: "Li Wencheng, the leader of the thief, is in Huacheng. If you capture the thief, you must capture the king. How dare the counselor be afraid of difficulties?"

As he said that, Meteor Patrol Ma Fei reported the military situation, saying: "Liu Guoming, the leader of the Taoyuan thief, sneaked into Huacheng to protect Li Wencheng and collect foreign parties, and went west to Taihang."

Yuchun said: "There is no one in the city, we should take advantage of the false attack."

So he encircled Huacheng and attacked it with all his strength. The artillery ladder was also operated and attacked, and it was captured in only two days.The military scout reported: "The leader of the bandits, Li Wencheng, was unable to sit on a horse because of a severe hamstring injury. Instead, he took a light vehicle and led the rest of the bandits to avoid Shansi Village in Renhui County."

Yuchun said: "While he is poor, he can be captured at once. If he passes away for a while, I'm afraid it will become the disaster of the bandits in the late Ming Dynasty."

Na Yancheng said: "That's a very good argument. It's just that my brother has fought hard for a long time. Isn't it too hard?"

Yuchun said, "Yuchun didn't want to enjoy comfort."

So the governor led his troops, rushed over there in the starry night and the wind, attacked and outwitted them, and within three to five days, they had already broken through.

Li Wencheng set fire to himself and died. The rest of Niu Liangchen, Xu Anguo and others were captured alive and sent to the capital.So all the members of Tianli Sect were wiped out.Emperor Renzong decreed that Ganayan should become the prince and Taibao, and should be granted the title of third-class son, and Yang Yuchun should be granted the title of third-class male.In addition, he made great achievements in the counter-conspiracy with Qiang Kejie, conferred the posthumous posthumous title of Zhonglie, hereditary captain of Qingche, and ordered the establishment of a special shrine in the place of origin and the place where he died.

The country is really troubled, the law of heaven is only peaceful, and the Yellow River has risen again, destroying thousands of people in Yifeng and other counties.Renzong established an order to allocate funds to the Ministry of Households.

The Minister of the Household Department responded: "The silver in the treasury has been poured out, and there is no money to allocate."

Renzong said: "Using soldiers for years, the money is spent like water. When it is used, it is gone. Think about it, everyone, is there any way to raise money?"

Wu Zhen, the servant of the Ministry of officials, please reopen the donation.University scholar Dong Gao said: "When thieves arise, most of them are trapped by the officials and the people. If you want to raise donations again, it will be a serious disadvantage in the administration of officials.

"The courtiers echoed in unison. Renzong ordered the officials to "plan from the long-term". After four or five days, there were quite a few memorials, but most of them were empty words, and a small half were suffocating. The decree said: donating money is not a political envoy as a last resort. If you have a good plan, why should I pay it?

Because of the huge amount of military pay and river work, all the officials were ordered to raise money, and all the policies were empty words without facts.

In the end, Yinghe and Yishu were very serious about the disadvantages of opening donations, and it was difficult to open a mining factory if they asked to restore the name of the grain.

Chinese and foreign ministers eat the king's salary, and they should think about the matter of loyalty to the king.And there is a way to make money and pay more, but if you seal the chapter and hear about it, donate it overnight.If you are just making a statement for a scholar, I have been familiar with it for a long time, so there is no need to repeat it.If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.
