Beautiful step by step

Chapter 106

Regarding the punishment of corrupt officials, Emperor Qinglong hesitated several times during his three to forty years in power.From when he first ascended the throne, he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, but was restrained by the veterans; to gradually Gan Gang arbitrarily comprehended the way of maintaining integrity with a high salary;

The raging flames that had been burning all the way to Youzhou City made him very angry.The shocking corruption of the Northwest Army finally uncovered the prosperous painting skin of the country, revealing the devastated appearance inside.After the chief assistant of the Enzhun cabinet congratulated the old man on his retirement, he directly drafted an order in front of the important officials of the imperial court.

Enke will be added in the spring of next year.

After finishing writing, the jade seal was stamped on it, Emperor Qinglong made a gesture, and a black shadow flashed in the imperial tent.Before the ministers could react, the imperial decree written on the imperial case had been sent to the capital by the secret guards.

"The prince stayed in the capital, and asked him to supervise Enke's affairs."

Emperor Qinglong said this to the air, but all the important ministers kneeling below knew it well, and the ubiquitous hidden guards would definitely hear it.

Originally, they still had a fluke mentality just now, the law does not blame the public, punishing so many ministers for no reason, the entire court will be paralyzed.However, now that the imperial decree was carried by the hidden guards and sent to the capital at a speed faster than eight hundred miles, these important ministers who used to be pampered suddenly discovered a fact that had been ignored all along.

Emperor Qinglong was not only an old emperor, but also a powerful emperor with absolute military power.

He has wrists and strength, and controls the entire Da Yue Jiang Shan.

More than [-] years of benevolent government made them almost forget that this man had the last laugh among the former emperor's princes after a fierce struggle.Even if a tiger takes a nap, it will not lose its sharp claws. Once it wakes up, it is still the king of beasts.But now they have personally awakened the dozing tiger.

"It's okay to kneel down."

Previously, Emperor Qinglong had always been polite to these old ministers, and the long-lost word "kneeling" made the important ministers feel a little uncomfortable, but they did not dare to resist at all.

Emperor Qinglong was quite satisfied to see their bowing movements more formal than before.How many years have I not enjoyed this feeling of being offered by others tremblingly? The monarch and his subjects are used to harmony, and it seems that it is not bad to enjoy different treatment occasionally.

With emotion in my heart, singing suddenly sounded outside the imperial tent.It seems that the people are singing some tune, and their joy can be heard from the voice.Emperor Qinglong listened intently, and faintly heard his year name Jianwen, and something else "on the grassland..."

"Slave pays respects to the emperor."

The voice of Sansi interfered with Emperor Qinglong's hearing, and he signaled him to keep his voice down. The singing outside was still ringing, but Mongolian and Chinese were mixed together, and the tone of the voice was chaotic, so it was impossible to stop singing clearly.

"What is going on outside, so lively?"

Think twice and said with a smile: "The people who fight the fire rest at noon. After drinking milk tea, everyone sits together according to the rules on the grassland. The fire is so hot outside that it is difficult to take a nap. Seeing that everyone is bored, Madam Yan simply taught them to sing .”

"Singing? I just heard them singing about me?"

Thinking twice, he was full of energy: "It's singing Your Majesty, Mrs. Yan is really amazing, I don't know where I heard the song, saying that Your Majesty is the sun that never sets on the grassland."

As an emperor, Emperor Qinglong had heard many cryptic praises in his life.It was the first time in my life that I was praised so straightforwardly.

The singing sounded again, and Sansi automatically reduced his sense of existence.Emperor Qinglong listened intently, the tune of the ballad was catchy, and after several times of singing, most people could sing very well, but this time the chorus was much clearer than the last time.Emperor Qinglong could hear it very clearly, it was sung in Mongolian and Chinese.First, he sang the beautiful scenery of the grassland "white clouds float in the blue sky, and horses run under the white clouds". The lyrics are simple but vividly depict the scenery of the grassland.

Then he eulogized his hometown, "If someone comes to ask me, what is this place. I will proudly tell him that this is our hometown."With the grassland as the link, the Mongolian and Han peoples living on the grassland of Youzhou are kept together.

In the end, "the Great Viet Dynasty in the year of Jianwen protected us in peace, and the sun that never rises and sets on the grassland", after talking about his hometown and the family of Meng and Han, he said that it was all due to him.

Emperor Qinglong feigned anger: "Who made up this song? It's not subtle at all. Is there anyone who said my name so bluntly!"

Sansi glanced at him cautiously, "Hey, Your Majesty, look at your mouth, you are almost grinning to your ears."This is the first time you have smiled since you approached Youzhou City.

Madam Yan is really tall!
The mood of thinking twice at this moment is exactly the same as that of Governor Yuan when he saw Wei Wei donating the bribe money face to face when picking him up.Yan Zhenfu, that's not right, what kind of luck did Commander Yan have to have such a good wife as Mrs. Yan.He had just been promoted to the command envoy, and he captured the emperor's flattery so accurately, and so accurately and skillfully, that the emperor, who had just lost his temper, was immediately delighted.

Judging by his years of serving the emperor, as long as Yan Dai's commander doesn't make any major mistakes, the word "Dai" on the top of his head will definitely not stay for long.

In an instant, he turned his mind a few times, and thought twice, with a stern face: "Mrs. Yan is indeed arrogating, and this servant is going to scold her."

Seeing Sansi picking up his fly whisk to go out, Emperor Qinglong hurriedly waved: "No need."

Resisting the smile in his heart, he thought twice in surprise and said, "The emperor meant to let the slaves bring the imperial army to arrest Mrs. Yan directly?"

"You old man, you dare to read my jokes." Although the words were full of reproaches, the smile on Emperor Qinglong's face did not diminish at all: "It's rare for the people affected by the fire in Youzhou to be so happy, let them sing. "

Think twice and stroke the dust: "I have just walked all the way, and when I saw the people singing to the emperor, they showed sincere respect on their faces. This slave is happy for the emperor, so I feel nothing for a while. Thank you, the emperor, for being considerate of us."

Emperor Qinglong shook his head indifferently.Although he was a little suspicious, that was also a common problem of emperors.In fact, as an emperor, he is a very tolerant person, and he has always been tolerant to his servants and courtiers.It's just that this time the courtier really chilled him, but he will not spread this anger on people who have nothing to do with it.

"They... really don't hate me?"

"What is the emperor talking about?"

Sansi had a complex expression on his face, as an old man who followed Emperor Qinglong all the way when he was the prince, he knew how good the emperor was.Even the first emperor with the temple name Renzong, sitting on the highest position in the world, could not help doing whatever he wanted in his later years after he took power.However, the emperor has always been strict with himself and treated others leniently. Doting His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess is probably the most outrageous thing he has done for the emperor in the past 40 years.

"Just now, the old slave sent the official hat of the first assistant to the tent of the Wei family. The master of the Wei family also said that in the face of the fire in Youzhou City, the emperor did not retreat, but set up camp on the spot at the risk of danger, and shared weal and woe with the people. You really A good emperor."

The singing outside was still there, but Emperor Qinglong seemed to be unable to hear it.His eyes seemed to be looking at the past, and he asked dreamily: "Wei Xiang... the family really said that?"

"Of course, this old slave dare not lie to the emperor. Everyone knows what you have done these years. It has been a long time to see people's hearts. The emperor is the son of Shengming, and people's hearts are full of flesh. Although some ministers are inevitably greedy, most of them The subject is still grateful for your kindness, and is very diligent in handling errands. These are all due to the emperor, and the people will of course be grateful to you."

Following the words of thinking twice, Emperor Qinglong finally remembered those virtuous ministers who worked hard in the court.Human nature is complicated. When entering the official career through the imperial examination, most of the young courtiers had a heart for the country and the people.The reason why they later became insatiable is that on the one hand, the human nature with insatiable desires is leading, and on the other hand, it is also related to his excessive connivance that makes them more and more slack.

With a sigh, he looked at the fire outside the tent.After making a gesture, the dark guard quietly appeared in front of the imperial case.

"You make a trip yourself to find out the secrets of the Minister of the Household Department over the years. Tell him, I hope that King Duan who returns to Beijing can see the true and complete Northwest account books. This way I can bypass him. If officials and officials protect each other, Youzhou The city's today is his tomorrow."
