Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 40 Debating verses and fighting methods Zhong Cuigong felt the previous cause and issued an edict to release the untouchables (2)
After Huang Enchun's mighty Wenzhi Sunguanghua wrote it, he looked at it again, stamped it with a small seal, and noted the date, date, and handed it to Zhang Tingyu, saying, "Do you think it can be done?" Zhang Tingyu took it with both hands, and his eyes glowed with joy, ...It's just how can a slave deserve these ten words? Grinding a slave into powder can't repay the kindness of the Lord Long Live!" Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke.

At that moment, Liu Molin also chose it, but it was a couplet of "two orioles", but Yongzheng did not use a seal, but only printed the word "Yuanming Jushi" with cinnabar mud, and said with a smile: "'Yuanming' has the meaning of Buddhism, You don't believe in Buddhism, so it's a decent gift from a monk, so I'll give it to you—Xing Nian, take these two sheets to Guangsheng Tower—don't let them be in the middle, do you hear me?" Seeing Liu Molin also wanted to resign Going out, Yongzheng said again: "Just stop, and go with Tingyu in a while." Liu Molin had no choice but to stop.

"Tingyu," Yongzheng's expression became solemn, his voice a little sluggish, "Nian Gengyao has been out for almost half a year, and I only want things and money, and I haven't paid for the war so far. I feel very uneasy. I want to discuss it with you." Do you want to send an imperial envoy to supervise the army?" Zhang Tingyu thought for a long time in silence, and said, "The master understands what the master means, and I want to win this battle as soon as possible. But the use of soldiers is different from government affairs, and a fall is irreparable. Years Gengyao was already a general when he followed the late emperor to the west, and it was his strength to advance cautiously. The famous generals of this dynasty have different tactics. Ba Hai is good at maneuvering and has endurance to last; Confrontation can attack fortified points; Flying ancient good at battle formation, able to fight hard; Zhou Peigong is more intelligent, far-sighted and resourceful, he can be described as an all-rounder. It is a pity that the wind and clouds have passed away, and they are all dead. Looking at the situation in a certain year, the deployment is restrained and the scale of advance and retreat is very cautious, which seems to be on the way Hai's follower, he is also seeking to complete his achievements in one battle, and he is determined to win. The master does not need to be anxious. In the humble opinion of the slave, it is not too late to enter Pingliang in March and push to Xining in April. The military aircraft department can send another six hundred miles to speed up the documents Let Yue Zhongqi disassemble it together, and ask Nian and Yue to discuss and play together. When will we be able to fight with Luobu Zang Tenzin? Long live it will be possible?" Yongzheng frowned and said nothing, looking at Liu Molin for a long while and said: "You If you have any insights, please tell me."

It was the first time for Liu Molin to participate in such a big military and state affairs. After thinking for a while, he replied: "I think Zhang Xiangzuo is very serious. Kangxi was defeated in 56 years, and none of the 15 Shandong disciples survived. The lessons learned from the past are frightening. If you win, you can’t afford to lose. Nian Gengyao marched cautiously, and the minister thought that he was looking at the overall situation. As for sending a supervisory army to supervise the battle, the minister thought it was impossible. The civil changes in the previous Ming Dynasty, the defeat of Songshan until Jiashen Dingge, because of The general and the imperial court are cynical, and the generals are often sent to restrain the generals. One army and two commanders, one thing is different, which is the most taboo of military strategists. Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, supported by eunuch Wang Zhen, disregarded the minister's objection and hastily conscripted the Mongolian Wacha army. He was also first captured in Tumubao (now southeast of Huailai, Hebei), and Songshan (now southwest of Jinxian, Liaoning) was an important place for overseas combat in Shanhaiguan. In the [-]th year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji set up a countermeasure, and the guard Yan Chonghuan was killed. Jiashen Dingge refers to the "Wanli New Deal" implemented by Zhang Juzheng, which included innovations in the political, economic, and military fields such as provincial discussions, Zhenji Gang, emphasizing edicts, verifying names and facts, consolidating guidelines, and ordering military preparations. Opposition resulted in a miscarriage. Therefore, the holy ancestor used Shi Lang exclusively for his conquest of Taiwan. Although Li Guangdi had the name of a warlord, he actually only raised food and salaries to pay for the army in the rear—he could only ask Nian Gengyao when to march and when to fight to ensure the supply of military supplies , Do not transfer military affairs, send personnel to supervise the battle, that will ruin the big event."

"You don't need to be suspicious, but you don't need to be suspicious." Yongzheng murmured to himself, "Okay——in that case, we won't send imperial envoys. Tingyu, you choose ten of the second-class guards, and the younger ones are expected. Those who have become talented, draw up a list for me. Send them to serve in Nian Gengyao's army." Only then did Zhang Tingyu hear that Yongzheng was worried about General Nian who was out supporting his troops, and suddenly he felt a heartbeat, and hurriedly apologized: "Yue Zhongqi In fact, his qualifications and military achievements are comparable to those of Nian Gengyao. With him, the court is still easy to control..." "Where did you go!" Yongzheng laughed: "If Nian Gengyao is not at ease, why would he give 10,000 +Give it to him, the sergeant? Think about it, if the Holy Patriarch had sent more youngsters to learn how to use soldiers in Feiyang's tent, why would it be so troublesome to choose a commander today?"

Only then did Liu Molin suddenly realize, and he stared at Yongzheng in admiration without saying a word.However, Zhang Tingyu knew the nature of Yongzheng well. Nian Gengyao had thousands of young benefactors, so why sent guards all the way to "learn how to use soldiers"?Wanting to think about it, he said in his mouth: "Long live the sage, think about long-term plans, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be convinced!"

"Liu Molin," Yongzheng took a sip of tea leisurely, and said with a smile, "You are quite a talented person. I heard that you had a hot fight with a brothel girl, but there are?" Liu Molin's head thumped, He hurriedly knelt down and replied: "This fact is true. I think that love has no distinction between high and low. Although Su Shunqing is from a lowly background, she does not sell her body as a performer. She guards her body like a jade, so she cannot be regarded on the same level as ordinary prostitutes. Kuang Chen and Su are confidantes. Abandoning lowliness is unrighteous, please be enlightened by the Lord! Now that the Lord has said this, I beg the Lord to get rid of Su Shunqing's humble status and fulfill this marriage." Yongzheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's nothing to be talented and romantic. It's a matter of great importance, but only for Su Shunqing to be expelled, it seems too narrow to use kindness. Hengchen, I intend to issue a clear edict that all the untouchables in the world will be expelled from their nationality, farming, studying, fishing and woodcutters, just like the common people, what do you think?"

This is a very important decree, "farming, studying, fishing and woodcutters are the same as the common people", then the eight opera singers and drummers may become officials. As a famous eunuch and Confucianist, Zhang Tingyu disagrees with him from the bottom of his heart.But he also vaguely heard that when Yongzheng was the prince, he was rescued from the flood by Lehu and fell in love with an untouchable woman. Today, he just borrowed Liu Molin's matter to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and blatantly opposing him is equivalent to giving himself A curse.Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "The lord is benevolent, this is really good governance. Since Yongle in the previous Ming Dynasty, the old ministers of Jianwen were deposed, and they were reduced to pariahs. For hundreds of years, millions of people have multiplied. The dire situation is like the darkness under the rain , Once you get out of the sky, are you afraid that your family will burn incense to the Buddha? However, after careful consideration, this kind of untouchables have been doing lowly business for a long time, and they don't know how to make a living. , should be left to their own free will. Another thing is that officials and herdsmen are important tools for a gentleman. If they suddenly leave their nationality, they can take the exam and enter the temple. The original purpose of the heavy way?"

"Okay!" Yongzheng thought for a long time with his face up, and felt that Zhang Tingyu's memorial was impeccable, so he said with a smile: "This is an old saying that seeks to seek the country, that's it, just make it clear after drafting the decree." Said, Xing Nian He came in and called Qian'er and said, "Master, the calligraphy and paintings in Guangshenglou are all set up, and the banquet is set up. All the princes, Bei Le, and Master Yan have already assembled in front of Guangshenglou."

So Yongzheng took a soft sedan chair, Zhang Tingyu was at his side, and Liu Molin came from behind, meandering towards Guangsheng Building, which is located in the northwest of the Forbidden City.When passing through the imperial garden, Yongzheng saw a new arch bridge built on the lotus pond, and the bridge railing was not yet installed, so he got off the sedan chair, supported Xing Nian with one hand and Gao Wuyong with the other to get on the bridge.Liu Molin followed behind and said: "Master, this is called step by step climbing!" Yongzheng was silent, and when he got off the bridge, he asked again: "Liu Molin, what is this called?" Liu Molin laughed: "This is called 'the back is higher than the front'!" Yongzheng couldn't help laughing, Zhang Tingyu frowned secretly when he saw that he could climb the pole so well.After crossing the bridge, I saw the three elder brothers of Hongshi, Hongli and Hongri coming out from the east gate of the imperial garden.Yongzheng stood still with a blank face, and asked, "Have your books been hung out?"

"Huang Ama," Hong Shi hurriedly bowed and smiled apologetically, "My fifth brother and I each gave three sets, Hongli got two sets, and the eunuch said that Ama only chose two sets, and our brothers each reduced to one set. It's all eunuchs who go to hang up, and the ministers dare not presume to cheat."

"Well." Yongzheng looked at the three sons and asked, "Hongli, why did you only choose one pair?" Hongli said with a smile: "My son's calligraphy is not very good, so I dare not compete with Huang Ama and Shulin. Su Confucianism is relatively short and long-term, and a pair of chatting books does not violate the sacred order. Calligraphy circles generally believe that the Kangxi generation is a hero, the style of calligraphy is vigorous, and the big characters are especially good. Yongzheng has a strict character, and his strokes are like iron hooks. It is better than Kangxi. Although Qianlong's calligraphy is fluent and fluent, his writing power is far inferior to that of his father and ancestors. His words here are not pretending to be modest and cautious." Yongzheng said: "Forget it, you don't have to attend the imperial banquet today. Let's pour wine. They have been busy for half a year, and you should be more courteous as my host." After saying that, he left the west gate of the imperial garden.The hungry ministers who had been waiting at the banquet table in front of Guangsheng Building saw them pass by, knelt down and shouted: "Long live!"

Yongzheng nodded and smiled, and said: "Get up, everyone! Today we will meet friends with calligraphy and ink. Monarchs and ministers should not be too restrictive. If you are too restrictive, it will be tasteless. It is not too late for delicious food. Let's look at these calligraphy and paintings first, and judge the champion before entering the table!" "So Yongzheng took the lead, and more than 100 Ministers of the Ministry, Du Yushi, Minister of Lifan (Manchu), Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and people from the Imperial Academy were all honored regardless of rank.Below the bachelor in charge of the academy, hundreds of people who attended the bachelor's degree, served as the lecturer, read, lectured, edited, edited, and reviewed, followed the ministers of the study room, Longkoduo, Zhang Tingyu, Yunxiang, Yun and other kings. Filed inside.

Guangsheng Tower is the largest watchtower in the East Six Palaces. Because the King Guangmu is enshrined on the tower, the eunuchs call it "Guangsheng Tower".The sacrificial land downstairs is circular, about half an acre in size, surrounded by large glass windows, which is very spacious and bright. Calligraphy and paintings of the Hanlin and ministers are all posted here, and there are a total of about two hundred pairs.Half of the characters are "Holy Heaven Yaode" and "Longevity without Boundaries", half are Tang poetry and Song Ci, and the ink is dripping and the pen is like a dragon and snake, all of which have been exhausted.There are also some paintings, but most of them are "flowers blooming and wealth", "national beauty and heavenly fragrance", or spring orchids, or autumn chrysanthemums, or galloping horses, or lying cows, or landscapes, or dragons and phoenixes.Everyone already knew it in their hearts, watched silently, searched for Yongzheng's words, and secretly wrote them on a note to prepare for the assignment.But Yongzheng stood still in front of a picture of Zhong Kui and looked at it carefully.He said with a smile, "This painting is really fascinating, but unfortunately there is no inscription and postscript. Who can add color to this painting with an impromptu poem?"

"May I have a try?" Liu Molin, who was unable to participate in the calligraphy and painting competition, was eager for his own skills. Seeing that no one dared to respond, he said loudly, "I write a poem for this painting!" He picked up a pen on the small table, dipped it in thick ink, stared at the painting for a while, and wrote quickly:

The face is ferocious and courageous, and the map of the red and green seats is hanging.

Zongjun's ability to sweep away demons and demons, so as not to make ghosts draw symbols in the world!A stroke of Huai Su's wild grass is like a gust of wind and rain, it is really hearty, and before everyone can applaud, Yongzheng said anxiously: "You can add another song!"

"tie!"

Liu Molin didn't hesitate, and didn't dip in the ink anymore, and continued with a song:
The title of Jinshi is also annoying to the public, and it is difficult to paint on the belly when angry.

Who will arrive first in the final shortcut?Press the sword to lose the king and become a ghost hero! "Okay!" Seeing his talent, Yongzheng couldn't help praising him, "Whether the writing is good—is it okay?" Liu Molin remained silent, and Xiang Huatian made another song:
When did you take a photo in the world?Duanyang drives away plague everywhere.Alas!There are countless spooks and monsters in the world, and there are billions of bodies in the king's body, but the ghosts directly teach the souls!Yongzheng stood in front of the picture and looked at it again and then asked, "Who painted this Zhong Kui? With this poem, it can be included in the Sanxi Hall. "Sanxi Hall" was named after Qianlong. He will be the new Jin Dynasty Calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunny Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie" and Wang's "Boyuan Tie" are regarded as rare (same as "rare") treasures, and they are collected in the Yangxin Hall of the Forbidden City, named "Sanxi Hall". ". In the 12th year of Qianlong (1747), he ordered Liang Shizheng to compile calligraphy from the Wei, Jin and Ming Dynasties (including the above three posts) in the collection of the Neifu to engrave stones, named "Sanxitang Shiqu Baoji Fatie". It was all after the death of Yongzheng (1735) There is a mistake in what I said here. Seal it up and pass it on to the world." After finishing speaking, he ordered: "Have a feast!—Submit the top two or three candidates selected by everyone to the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy will judge impartially!"

So the officials thanked each other and took their seats.Because Yongzheng didn't see the king, he asked Ma Qi: "Why don't you see Master Wang?" Ma Qi whispered: "The king has been ill for two days and has diarrhea. He was about to write a posthumous manuscript yesterday. The servant went to see him and said a few words of comfort. Mr. Fang Bao went to see him today, just in case something might happen. If he is really seriously ill, it won’t be too late to write the will.” Yongzheng saw that he didn’t dare to move unless he put down his chopsticks, so he said with a smile: “The Empress Dowager I'm feeling better after a few days, and I'm happy. I'm going to pay my respects today. According to the decree of Lafayette, there is New Year's Day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of August, and the Dragon Boat Festival. It's an important festival. I've been busy for a long time. Those who are on errands relax—give some gizzards to the guards, everyone can use it as much as you want!" After finishing speaking, he took a sip of wine and another bite of vegetables, and everyone dared to eat with their chopsticks.Only then did Yongzheng beckon to Li Dequan: "Ask the three elder brothers to persuade everyone to drink around the table. You go to the imperial pharmacy and see that there are fresh Yingge Yingge: antidiarrheal medicine. ——Original note, send some to Master Wang. If Mr. Fang I have already returned to Changchun Garden, and I will give him a banquet as it is here to reward him."

"Zha!" Li Dequan hurriedly replied, "Returning to the master's words, there are Xianyingge, but they are not familiar with them yet, can they be used?" Yongzheng said: "If you are not familiar with them, you can't use them. The old ones are powerful, and the nature is too familiar. Paying attention to the amount can also be used. Yangxin Palace also has some papaya cream, which is the best for relieving diarrhea, so I also send some." Li Dequan hurriedly agreed and went.Yongzheng took the chief seat himself, chatting and joking with everyone, and only occasionally had a bite of vegetarian dishes, but he didn't drink alcohol.

The three elder brothers of Hongshi, Hongli, and Hongzhou also came in at five drums in the morning. After finishing their homework in Yuqing Palace, they read the chapters of "Four Books" assigned by Yongzheng, and then turned to serve Yongzheng.It was almost noon, and the three golden branches and jade leaves were so hungry that they were so hungry that they didn't allow them to sit at the table, and told them to take turns at the table. Looking at the table full of delicacies, they dared not eat a single bite, and dared not complain.Hongli and Hongzhou were fine, but Hongshi looked unhappy.After finally persuading the [-] or [-] tables, seeing that the imperial scholars had submitted the papers for the selection of calligraphy and painting, it was a waste of time. Hongshi had a wink, and the three of them withdrew from the Guangsheng Building.But I saw dozens of guards eating gizzards.The large plate carried from the Tianqiong Temple was full of cooked gizzards, and it was steaming hot, exuding a strong aroma of meat.Hongshi said: "Fourth and fifth brothers, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry." Hongli said, "This is gills. Even if I'm hungry, I don't dare to eat it without my will. Brother Zhou, you have always been weak and hungry. I still have two dollars on my desk in Yuqing Palace Snacks, ask someone to bring them to you to satisfy your hunger." Hongzhou was only 11 years old, and his stomach was growling with hunger, but the gizzard meat was used for ancestor worship, and no one dared to eat it without a will.He blinked his small eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "I'm not hungry either."

Hongshi sneered and said, "What's so valuable about this meat? The guards have eaten it, but we can't move it?" Then he stepped forward and cut three pieces with a knife, put them on a plate, and pushed them to each of Hongli and Hongzhou. On a plate, I picked a piece with a knife and was about to put it to my mouth. Xing Nian rushed out to pass the order: "Baby, Long Live is calling you in!"

"Should we call fourth brother alone, or should we all go?"

"Long live is called Hongli alone, but I never heard that it is called Er Er Ye."

"You don't know what to call him?"

"Returning to the third master, long live to give the baby meat!"

Hongshi's face immediately became extremely ugly, and he even threw the knife and meat into the plate with a bang, and said to Hongli with a half-smile: "Fourth brother, it seems that you are very lucky, and we brothers will touch you It's time for you." Hongli knew that his brother was teasing, so he only bowed slightly to Hongshi, and hurriedly followed Xing Nian into the Guangsheng Building.
