Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 30 The overall situation, Nuo Min plans to cut in half, seek talents, be famous, Confucianism, and enter the machine (2)
At that time, it was Mengxia in April, and the sky was getting hotter. The sun was shining brightly and shining white light on the Forbidden City. It was no longer as warm and warm as before.In the Forbidden City, there are no trees to be planted in order to prevent thieves and assassins. The scorching sun in the clear sky shines on the yellow tiles and red walls, copper tortoises and copper cranes, and the furnace, tripod and Danbi, glowing and shining, a piece of gold and jade.Before Yongzheng left the Chuihua Gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he regretted wearing too thick clothes, and felt his back was slightly sweaty and moist.However, he is a very trim person, and he will never let things go, so he just ordered someone to take a Xiangfei bamboo fan and walked out, but seeing Li Dequan, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, had already greeted him at the gate of the palace, so he stopped and asked: " You are not serving in the Empress Dowager's palace, what's the matter here?"

"Return to the master." Li Dequan is an old man in his sixties with white beard and eyebrows. He is still in good spirits. They are all waiting in front of the Kunning Palace. The Buddha asked the servants to come and see, when will the Long Live Lord pass?" Yongzheng said indifferently, "What is this important? Babaer came to play me! I still want to see people Let's talk about it later!" Li Dequan hurriedly said: "How many slaves have the guts to disturb the Lord Long Live? It's already hot, and these children didn't eat, and they knelt down several times. The old Zhao of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported The Buddha, who came to see the master according to Yi's decree."

Yongzheng had already raised his steps, listened to "Feng Yi's decree", stopped in a hurry, thought for a while and asked: "Has the queen mother been chosen?"

"Returning to the master, the Buddha said that there are enough people around her, so I won't choose."

"Where are you lords? Didn't I say that the mansions of the third, fifth, eighth, tenth, thirteenth, and seventeenth masters are all short of servants. Twenty people are selected to go—there is also the second master, who is imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, so it is appropriate to give him a few."

Hearing Yongzheng's words, Li Dequan couldn't help being startled: If you don't choose the emperor first, who else would dare to take the lead?Thinking about it, he said carefully: "The slave just came here, the tenth master, the thirteenth master, the fourteenth master, and the seventeenth master are all inside to greet the Buddha. Since the master has this will, the slave will pass it on to the princes, please princes Just choose first." He was rambling and wanted to continue, but Yongzheng had already waved his hand away.

Fang Bao had already been waiting at the military plane on the west side of Yong Lane in Longzong Gate.This is a 55-year-old old man with a long, yellow and thin face and two mouse mustaches. He is wearing a white-washed blue cloth cut-off shirt on his thin body, which looks wide and big. , with only a pair of small eyes shining brightly, revealing a shrewd and capable person—just based on his appearance, no one would have guessed that he is the leader of the Tongcheng School of literary fame who is famous all over the world, and a contemporary scholar who has written as much as he can. The commoner entered the study as the "Prime Minister in Qingshan", and Fang Wangxi, the counselor of Kangxi's important affairs in his later years, "called Mr. but not his name"!It has been two years since he gave gold back to the mountain in the 60th year of Kangxi. He had already given up his official career and built villas in Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou.Unexpectedly, when the new king ascended to the throne, the first secret edict was to call him back to the capital to re-enter the Shangshufang to participate in the important affairs of the military and state affairs.The secret edict was issued, and the governors of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces, as well as the governors of Liangjiang, all rushed to Fangfu in Tongcheng. They said they were paying a visit, but they were actually sitting on the ground to urge him to do so. This made the old celebrity dare not say goodbye. I had no choice but to board the car and go north, re-entering Beijing, the den of right and wrong.In the Xi Dynasty, Fang Bao entered the study because he was a commoner, and his main duty was to advise the emperor on secrets. He did not care about the affairs of the ministry and did not see officials. In addition, most of the Beijing officials "only heard his name, but never met him", so he was introduced to the Military Aircraft Department by the eunuch Gao Wuyong, and a group of officials waiting to be summoned here were only surprised at his attire, unable to understand How could such a down and dirty old man come here.

Fang Bao sat with her feet up, drinking tea with a calm expression, but her heart was tossing violently.He was arrested and imprisoned for the "Nanshan Collection" text case, and he was pardoned and exiled in the rivers and lakes. He met Emperor Kangxi who was on a southern tour.Emperor Kangxi's edict, which was tens of thousands of words long, was embellished by him word by word.The second time to depose Prince Yinfeng was also planned by his counselor.Yunti, Yunyu, Yunzhi, Yinzhen, Yunyu, Yun'e, Yunxiang, Yunti, the nine elder princes revolved around the "division", each showed their talents and found their own way, and the same room fought with swords and swords, and the beans ignited each other. He even knows more and more deeply than Zhang Tingyu about the shady scenes and the intricate relationship between layers of silk and vines.Kangxi decided that the imperial edict of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's succession to the throne was also sealed by him and hidden behind the plaque of "Uprightness and Brightness" in the Qianqing Palace.The more secrets a person knows, the closer he is to death.Rao Fang Bao tried his best to hide his obscurity, read behind closed doors and never made friends with anyone or saw an official. Unexpectedly, when Yongzheng ascended to the throne, he was the first to think of himself!Does this vicious and vengeful emperor want to repay his kindness for his recommendation, or use his own stone to smash Yunxu, a political opponent?Fang Bao's hair swelled from thinking, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. A few officials not far away ignored his thoughts.A Taoist with bared yellow teeth spewed out clouds and spittle, saying: "Liu Molin is the same year as my hometown. I was a Jinshi in the 52nd year of Kangxi, but he has a bad luck as a talent. In the first round of policy theory, he vented his stomach and said, "Fame is a small matter, but life is a big thing", and escaped from the examination room without permission. The second round of articles, poems, and policy theory were all done in a colorful way, and the students turned over the paper the first night The oil lamp polluted the test paper like fried dough sticks, so I had to be named Luosun Shan; in the third round, I worked hard and wanted to win the top three. I received a letter from my family before entering the field, and the old man died of illness! Well, report your worries, and it will be another three years in a flash This time I saw him come again, and asked him how proud he is? He spread his hands and said: It's over again! Other people's comments are written as flattering of "the head of state, buttocks"-look at the long live God Some of these 'shoulders' are the Second General Humha, some are Shentu Yulei, and some are Tianzhu Xingqie...Like a 72-hole goblin, if you don't enter his hole, he will take you in?" Huang Banya said and laughed. , sighed again and said: "It's a pity, Liu Molin, a living Dongfang Shuo, was born at an untimely time, and turned out to be a blunt scholar!"

"Wei Jun," a 30-year-old young official next to him interjected, "Great fame has a certain number, and this cannot be done for sure. Long Live Lord is now going to destroy the family cronies. Liu Molin's article is purely about the king's kindness, maybe it is right. It's the holy will!" Fang Bao bowed his head and thought for a while, and then remembered that "Wei Jun" was surnamed Li, and he used to be the inspector of Huguang.While he was thinking about it, Li Weijun sneered and said, "Hu Qiheng, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? The house officer doesn't recommend it, and you can't even see the papers for the chief examiner. How did Long Live know Liu Molin? Let's be happy! I made an appointment yesterday. I traveled to the West Mountain with Liu Molin and Yin Jishan, and came back to the tea shop in Luyuan, who do you think you met?"

He flicked his braid complacently, "Famous prostitute Su Shunqing!" Everyone was startled when they heard that.Su Shunqing is the number one goddess among the eight famous prostitutes in the capital, she only sells her art but not her body, she is unique in four skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she would not go lightly to the palace hall when she is idle, it is rare to meet these three people.Hu Qiheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a smile: "Prince Jian's residence, I have seen this girl, she is really good at both sex and art - you are so lucky!" She sang a few tunes. Liu Molin got drunk and fell into an evil spirit, and asked, "Do you know what we are here today?" As he spoke, he threw a big silver coin. The girl also took the silver coin, squatting three blessings and said: " The purpose of the three gentlemen's visit today is to look for the tree with the word "森", sit on the side of the stone with the word "Lei", look for friends to accompany them, and ride a horse with the word "" to stroll around; after getting off the boat, they just go boating in front of the lake with the word "Miao". Those who came here with a crowd took advantage of the good time of "Crystal" and had to drink some "taste" tea, "Zi wine-if you want to think about" characters, you can't!'——Listen to her article! "

The crowd couldn't help roaring, some laughed, some scolded, some praised, some joked, turning this grand and important place of the imperial court into a karaoke restaurant.In the midst of chaos, a voice shouted from outside: "The saint is here!" Everyone was stunned, and Emperor Yongzheng stepped into the room with a folding fan in his hand.Fang Bao stood up gracefully, flicked the corner of his robe and knelt down calmly, and paid respects: "The minister Fang Bao is ordered to have an audience with Longyan, and kowtow to the emperor, long live Jin'an!"

"Sir, please get up." Yongzheng stood solemnly after accepting the gift, bowed his hands to hold Fang Bao, and said with a smile, "It's been more than two years? I really miss you! Are you 56 years old this year? You are full of bones You are strong and look good, I envy you a lot?" Only then did Li Weijun and others know that this ugly old man was actually Fang Bao, and they came to their senses at this moment, and hurriedly saluted Yongzheng.Yongzheng glanced around at everyone, and smiled: "This is the Military Aircraft Department. As the name suggests, it is an important place to deal with military and state affairs. It is already disrespectful for you to talk, laugh and make noise here. What is the dignity of talking about pink-headed prostitutes? ——Who brought you here?"

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other when they heard this, because Li Weijun was the biggest official here, so he kowtowed and said: "I have received a letter from the Ministry of Officials to give my majesty's speech before taking office. I don't know the rules of the military aircraft department here. I think it's just a few vacant rooms. Come in for a while to have a rest and chat, and I beg Long Live to forgive your sins!" Yongzheng took a look at the "Military Aircraft Department" he had set up, a few empty low rooms, nothing but a few tables and chairs, not even a cabinet for filing , The outside of the room was not closed, and the passing officials could see the scene in the room from the window as soon as they stretched their heads.He frowned imperceptibly, and said coldly: "I didn't say that your military plane is wrong. The Song Dynasty died in Wen Tian and Wu Xi, and Yin Jian is not far away. Your name is Li Weijun, right? I have read a lot of Hanlin, I don't know this ?Officials have to look like officials, and they can’t be unreasonable. I have decreed that officials all over the world are not allowed to watch dramas. What are you talking about? Didn’t you say you wanted a ‘resignation from your majesty’? Well, this is considered a resignation. Go back and think about what I said, and write a self-impeachment script for me to read—go!” Waiting for everyone to squeeze Khan backed away, and Yongzheng called Gao Wuyong and said: "You pass an order to the House of Internal Affairs, and erect an iron sign at this gate. No matter whether princes, ministers, nobles or relatives, they are not allowed to peep or enter unless they follow the order. Also, from the gate of Qianqing A group of guards will be dispatched to guard this place, and then a decree will be sent to the Ministry of Officials to select six fourth-rank officials as Zhang Jing, who will be on duty here day and night to carry out the decree!"

Yongzheng said something, Gao Wuyong agreed, and Nuonuo retreated repeatedly, Yongzheng Fang turned his face and smiled and said to Fang Bao: "I wanted to talk to my husband here, but I didn't expect to be so frugal, let's go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation-Xing Nian , you go to pass on the meal, and ask the cooks to curry favor with you—turn around and report to the Queen Mother, I have accompanied Mr. Fang, and I will go over to pay my respects. Mr. Fang, let’s go together on my Luanyu!" Fang Bao is getting more and more surprised at this moment. Willing to walk with the emperor?He hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "I am a white clothed man, how dare I insult the king of Wancheng? This is absolutely unbearable. I just walk with Luan, and I will lose my Yangshou?"

Yongzheng laughed loudly and said, "Mr. is a master of Confucianism and a disciple of Confucianism. Do you still believe in these things? That's fine. I will walk in with you in a car!"

"Yes, I should accompany Shengjia..."

Fang Bao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said helplessly.He originally didn't want to show off in the Forbidden City, but he didn't expect Yongzheng's handling of it to make it more conspicuous.Yongzheng's disposition was hard to disobey, so he had no choice but to follow Yongzheng calmly.At this moment, there are hundreds of officials waiting to be summoned and to enter the study on Tianjie Street. I heard that the emperor's corporal came to welcome Fang Bao in person. Who wouldn't want to see the beauty?Seeing Yongzheng and Fangbao walking hand in hand, talking while walking, they all knelt together and sent their monarchs and ministers inside without mentioning it.
