Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 18 Tu Lichen was ordered to inspect the Lantern Festival in Bingzhou, mocking Zhongzhi (2)
When Pan Gui said this, he stared at Tian Wenjing with a blushing face, and said with a grin: "Master Tian, ​​is the ghost story I'm telling you pleasant?" There are bones in Gui's words, and he clearly pointed out that Tian Wenjing "went to the examination room three times" to lose his name to Sun Shan, relied on donations to become an official, and borrowed paper money to ridicule him for "taking money from the vassal treasury" and searching for money in every possible way.Although this story is not surprising, it fits everyone's heart.So everyone echoed:
"Pan Ling deserves to be a true Jinshi. He is good at exorcising ghosts!"

"Determining fate with articles, good!"

"The ghost was chased away. You, Lao Pan, didn't beat his vinegar charcoal by the river. According to legend, soaking red charcoal in vinegar has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding ghosts. In the old days, people died in the hotel, and this method was used to disinfect the room. .—Original note.?"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and they all looked at Tian Wenjing, who had been removed from office and had not yet been dismissed.Tian Wenjing's eyes were straight and he didn't look at Pan Gui. He stared quietly at the gradually extinguished fireworks box. After a while, he took a heavy breath and said, "You are the magistrate of Baishan County. There are eighteen hell clay sculptures on the slope of Baishan Mountain. .In your opinion, those are just clay puppets, not worth mentioning, but I saw a lot of feelings. So many devout men and women brought cigarettes and fruits to worship, what are they trying to do? You are greedy for money, and you have a dark heart, so you use these vain incense sticks to deceive ghosts and gods, so that you will not be burned by fire." His voice was not high, but there was a sound of gold and stone in every sentence.Everyone has a heart disease, and they were speechless for a while, only looking at the burning coal of Bangmai Volcano West. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, high-quality coal is often used to set up coal-made stoves in courtyards and streets. Renxu, shaped like a stick, can be used for heating and viewing, so it is called "stick fire". ——Original note.Preoccupied.

Nuo Min was very happy at first, the new emperor ascended to the throne, and all the officials and officials were not familiar with him yet, yet he was praised as "the number one minister in the world". What a glorious and dignified event this is?But for some reason, facing the two imperial envoys, I gradually became a little uneasy.Tian Wenjing's refusal to be blamed is a matter of reason, why is this young man Tu Lichen so arrogant and arrogant, he didn't say a word at the banquet, and just drank the left glass and the right glass?Thinking about it, he got up and laughed, "Why are you eating dry wine? Who has a joke, tell Master Tu a joke!"

"There are no jokes," an official sitting at the second table got up and came to Tu Lichen's table, held a cup and served the three of them, and said, "The humble post is Sha Benji, the county magistrate of Taiyuan. Mr. Tian checked the treasury, At the beginning, I was accompanied by a lowly position. I didn’t cover my face with wine and insult my lord. When you wanted to check the accounts, how did I persuade you? When Nuo Zhongcheng took office, the first thing he did was to clean up the treasury. The above-mentioned officials were all praised by the holy grandfather during his reign! My lord, let me advise you while drunk, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself, let alone how can you be righteous when you are not righteous?"

In addition to proclaiming the decree, Tu Lichen originally had a secret edict from Yongzheng to "observe the style of officials in Jin Province". The purpose of the explicit decree and the secret decree are slightly different. Seeing that everyone had a fit of drinking, embarrassing Tian Wenjing, and flattering Nuo Min, he felt disdainful, so he slowly put down his wine glass and asked, "Sha Ling, I don't understand what you said. Don't do what you don't want." It’s justifiable to others. What does it mean that you can’t correct others if you don’t correct yourself?”

"Master Tu", Tian Wenjing arched his hands and said, "Such a foolish and ignorant person, you don't have to argue with him. He just saw me unlucky, so he came here to fight for someone. It's human nature for everyone to push the wall down." He snorted He sneered and said, "Thinking that I, Tian, ​​is so easy to deal with? Tell you that the surname is Sha, it's easy to wake up from sweet dreams, but it's hard to ripen yellow beams! If you don't clear up the deficit case here, I will never cross the Fen River!"

"How can I be a foolish and ignorant person!?"

"Your nickname is 'Killing Unstoppable', and you work as the boss of Qu'a, knocking down the little people, and your name matches your reality, so you are stupid and ignorant!" Tian Wenjing blushed, and slapped the case lightly, "In the beginning, you checked the library, you Running after me like a dog's tail, and now with this face, I would like to add, you are stubborn and shameless! Tell you all, I have used my imperial envoys to seal your treasury!"

Tian Wenjing and Sha Benji turned against each other in public, and everyone was stunned, and the words "seal the treasury" were even more shocking.Dozens of officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and all stared at Tian Wenjing, wondering what kind of disease he had, and dared to be so bold.

"The one surnamed Tian," Nuo Min couldn't help changing color, and stood up as soon as she pushed the table, "Seize the treasury, I want to ask for the holy order! As the governor of Shanxi, I don't have the right! You are a little Cao, disturb I, the Shanxi government affairs officer, see that you are an imperial envoy, how much face have I saved for you? How dare you be so crazy! - You are an official who has been removed from the top, come! Remove him!"

Several Goshhas agreed with a "Zha" and came over aggressively. Tian Wenjing stood up "swipe", pushed down the chair he was sitting on with a gloomy face, and said firmly: "I have already Send people [-] miles to urgently hand over the memorial to the emperor. Don’t want your life, don’t want to be an official, you must solve the Shanxi liquidation case!”

"You are arrogant!" Nuo Min roared, "The emperor sent a court order yesterday, ordering me to withdraw [-] silver from the treasury to relieve the spring famine at Yanmen Pass. If you seal the treasury, one person in Shanxi will starve to death. .”

Tu Lichen had already stood up, and Xu Bu paced around the stick fire, thinking nervously.Closing the feudal treasury is the most important thing, which is equivalent to stopping the province's finances. If it is wrongly sealed, Tian Wenjing really has only a dead end.But Tian Wenjing knew this, so why was he so reckless?He knew that he was also involved at this moment, and he had to have a clear attitude between Nuo Min and Tian Wenjing. Thinking about it, he walked up to Tian Wenjing and asked, "Why?" Even Nuo Min couldn't help shivering.

"Responding to Mr. Tu's words," Tian Wenjing said with a slight bow, "Nuo Min's people trespassed on my imperial envoy in the posthouse, and took the person in my hand to prove Qiao Yindi. Therefore, I suspected that his Ku Yin was not real, so I sealed it up first. A scholar can be killed but cannot be humiliated, Nuo Min insults me too much, not to mention I am an imperial envoy, Nuo Min insults the emperor even more. I just can't tolerate him!"

Tu Lichen turned his face and asked: "Master Nuo Min, is there such a thing?" Nuo Min nodded and said: "It's the bitch I just mentioned. This matter is handled by the Taiyuan City Gate. I don't think There was nothing wrong. Tian Wenjing was originally not an imperial envoy, but only an imperial envoy, so the post house was not an imperial envoy. The Emperor Shengzu had issued an edict long ago, and civil and military officials were not allowed to visit prostitutes. Tian Wenjing said that Qiao Yindi was a My witness in the case of Shanxi’s shortfall of treasury and silver should have been sent to the yamen for custody pending trial. Why should she be kept in a posthouse? Besides, Tian Wenjing himself has admitted that the treasury’s bank accounts are cleared, and even Tian Wenjing should False accusation instead. Qiao Yindi sued the government by the people, she was already guilty, and the accusation was false, shouldn't she be arrested and brought to justice?"

Nuo Min had worked in the Ministry of Punishment for two years, and was familiar with the "Great Qing Law", and the old officials were familiar with it, and she spoke plausibly, but Tian Wenjing suddenly interjected coldly: "Master Nuo, what evidence do you have that I am a prostitute?" Prostitute? Today’s mansion reported that the Lord of Long Live’s strict decree reaffirmed that the governors of all regions must respectfully obey the imperial edict before the coffin of Long Live, and mourn for the Holy Father for three years. The Taiyuan City set off fireworks, and why? Tell me, My student doesn't understand! You have to know that the Zi Palace of the first emperor is still in Da Nei, and he died less than three months ago. How dare you ask what you are congratulating? To tell you the truth, I have not only sealed up the treasury, but also posted a notice; The gentry and merchants have silver accounts with the treasury, and they will be settled within three days. After three days, the Shanxi treasury silver will be transported to Nanjing for recasting. I don’t think Master Nuo will be happy when he hears the news, right?”

As if a thunderbolt had exploded out of thin air, there was a dead silence at the banquet, as silent as a barren mountain and an ancient temple, and then there was a humming sound at the banquet of the gentry, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

"What?" Sweat broke out on Nuo Min's head suddenly, Qi Qi Ai asked, "300 million taels... all sent to Nanjing?" "That's right." Tian Wenjing raised his face arrogantly, took out the hookah from his arms, and The candlelight ignited the fire medium, lit the cigarette, and puffed out the clouds and said: "All go away." Nuo Min's face was blue and red, her heart was beating suddenly, her hands were wet and sticky with cold sweat, and it took half a day to recover Come on, gritted his teeth and stared at Tian Wenjing, who was smoking a hookah with hatred, and said with a chuckle, "The Taiyuan Silver Foundry casts 'water system' silver, which is the same type as the Beijing ingot. It has been used in the world for more than three hundred years, and its fineness can reach nine Seventy-eight nine seven-eight means the purity can reach 97.8%. ——Original note, why did you send it to Nanjing for casting?"

"Because I don't trust you officials from Shanxi!" Tian Wen said without raising his smile in the camera. "The 290 officials from the whole province worked their hands up and down to contact and deceive the imperial court. You have committed a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor! You have hit a hard nail!"

Turichen was also stunned.It was the first time for him to be involved in local administration, and he didn't understand the monstrous skills of officials from other provinces in cheating on money.He only knows that it is a big deal to seal up the treasury without asking for an order, but he doesn't understand the power of this notice!Thinking about it, Tu Lichen turned to Nuo Min and said, "This matter is too serious. Mr. Nuo, what regulations do you have?"

"My charter is to unpack immediately!" Nuo Min suddenly yelled out of composure, "Tear down this notice immediately!"

Tian Wenjing blew out the fire matcher in one gulp, glanced at everyone contemptuously, walked up to Tulichen Xu Bu, bowed slightly and said, "Master Tu!"

"Well".

"I want to lend you something."

"what?"

"I'll lend you a bag of cigarettes," Tian Wenjing coughed dryly, and gave up his hand, "Can you stop talking on the wall of the flower hall?"

Tu Lichen really wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Tian Wenjing's gourd, so he nodded.As soon as he turned around, Nuo Min said loudly: "Is there anything to tell? Say it in front of everyone!" Tu Lichen didn't seem to hear it, and followed Tian Wenjing into the flower hall with a glance. Guarded the gate under the eaves of the flower hall.
