Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 51 Grass gray snake line Yongzheng travel suspected of stealing the bell to cover the ears of ministers to inquire (2)
Fang Bao is a master of Confucianism, and he doesn't believe in nightmarish magic at all, but Yongzheng respects Confucianism and also worships Buddhism, so he can only remind Yongzheng from Longkodo's appearance: "He came in a month ago to play, and he was still there." On the night of the empress dowager's death, Li Dequan came back with a decree, saying that he saw Longkodo come out of Prince Lian's mansion. At that time, what did he do there? The Forbidden City's defense mission was still his, and he went outside to organize various camps. What? Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and the rest of us went to the coffin shed of my elder brother. We only came back after looking at the wind and snow shelter. Why did he go left and right once a few days ago, but then he didn’t go again? ?”

"You mean him and the eighth brother..." Yongzheng seemed to tremble, then shook his head and said, "It's not possible. The one who passed on the edict back then was the uncle, so it's not the best chance to do something wrong? Now that the overall situation is settled, how could it be?" And hook up with that screwer again?"

Fang Bao leaned back and rubbed his hands uneasily.He already felt that the conversation with Yongzheng was too straightforward, but when the words came here, he had to continue: "Long live said this to make the minister uneasy. I shouldn't talk so deeply. Maybe the minister is wrong, and it is best that the minister is wrong." "Yongzheng also felt it, and said with a smile: "Talking, what's the point of not saying what's on your mind? I think so too, maybe I'm wrong, it's better that I'm wrong. But it's going to rain, mother is going to get married, Why not gossip about it? I will take care of it.” Fang Bao was moved in his heart, and sighed: “The emperor is so trustworthy, so I just said it. I just said the opportunity. I have missed the opportunity since ancient times. I don’t know how many people have regretted it. Missed the opportunity There are countless people who are looking for opportunities! Tong’s family is all from the "Ba Ye Party" that overthrew the prince, and there is only one Longkodo who is loyal to the king. I can't tell how many layers of confusion and how many chains there are. Your Majesty, since the "Baye Party" is a "Party", it is not because the Emperor has already ruled and is not a "Party". As for the fault, it cannot be disintegrated by an article of "clique theory". For the sake of the world, for the emperor, and for the sake of the emperor's blood and family, the emperor will not eradicate this "party", at most he will have a good death The emperor, if he wants to cheer up the decadence and change the government of officials to become the ruler of a generation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill the emperor's wish."

"I transfer Yunyun away, and I want Yun to go to Zunhua. I just want to separate them. If they are separated, they will be preserved. Although I am cold-hearted, there is no lack of brotherhood." Hearing Fang Bao's eloquent speech, Yongzheng sighed for a long time Said: "Thinking of their murderous hands against me in the past, I still shudder. I must not reuse it today, but I still have to preserve it. To be honest, I don't want people in the future to say that I am a cruel king. But when it comes to uncle, think about it again." If you think about it again, you won't get mixed up in this den of right and wrong. Let's take a look again, okay?" When he was about to continue talking, he saw Gao Wuyong poking his head at the entrance of the hall, Yongzheng pulled his face and said: "What's the matter with you? When I talk to Mr. Fang, there are rules, don't you know?"

Gao Wuyong was so frightened that he hurried in and kowtowed: "I didn't eavesdrop. Just now, please see me in Long Zhongtang, and my servant asked him to wait at the military plane. Because the master talked a long time, he asked the servant to come in and see if Mr. Fang has resigned... ..." Yongzheng waved his hand and said: "Tell him, we are tired, please go back home to rest. Tomorrow, hand over the sign, how many words can't be said?" Gao Wuyong kept making promises, got up and left.But Fang Bao stopped, and said to Yongzheng: "Your Majesty, if you can support yourself, why not see him? He is called uncle by the Emperor, and I can't afford to avoid him because I talk to him." Yongzheng thought for a while. , Said: "You go and say, I invite uncle to come in."

After a while, I heard a burst of footsteps outside the courtyard.Long Keduo came in through the curtain, and was about to salute when he was supported by Yongzheng.Yongzheng said with a smile: "You are an uncle, how can an uncle kowtow to a nephew? Gossip and kowtow to Mr. Fang, because he is out of energy and asks for advice, so he doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders. Why does uncle also do this? Come on, look Please sit down and give me tea!" In an instant, he seemed to be a different person, looking relaxed and unrestrained, "This funeral was well organized, first of all, Zhang Tingyu worked hard, handling state affairs outside, and presiding over the funeral inside, I think he lost at least ten catties The second is Uncle, who is vigilant against customs, and has to take care of the big and small clan relatives. It is really tiring to worry about you. Just now, Linggao and Linggao were talking about you. Why didn’t you come in and talk? The ground in Beijing is evil, talking about Cao Cao , Cao Cao is here." After saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled, and Fang Bao couldn't help smiling when he saw Yongzheng's tricks.

"Your Majesty," Longkoduo sat up in his clothes, took a sip of tea and put it down, and said, "I do have something to play. Oh, Mr. Fang, you don't have to avoid it." He had just shaved his head and was wearing four dragon coats The outer cover is a crane dress, and behind the coral top is a peacock feather with green eyes. The blurred and trance expression of the day before yesterday has been swept away, and the hazy and heavy expression has been swept away. The face is still tired, and the pupils in the pair of triangular eyes are shining He looks very energetic.Long Kedo pondered, and said: "Perhaps the emperor can see that the slaves are depressed these days, and the words are inappropriate when playing right, but the slaves really have something on their minds. Once the queen mother passed away, the living individuals met the day before , let go the next day and left, feeling that life is bleak, impermanent, and sad. Second, there are some things that are hard to understand. The servant is the emperor's special minister, who is in charge of the defense of the capital. But these days, In fact, I was only the head of a bodyguard in the palace. There are so many soldiers stationed outside the Dongxihua Gate and the Qianmen Shenwu Gate. I don’t know who dispatched them and who restrained them. On the day the Empress Dowager died, the slaves went to the Military Aircraft Department to prepare For defense, but the Military Aircraft Department was ordered by Zhang Tingyu, and refused to hand in the military talisman. So I felt sad, and added a layer of suspicion and fear. Your Majesty, although you call me 'uncle', I have always regarded myself as a servant. I came to see you, but I just wanted to see you. Speak from the heart. If these adjustments come from the holy will, then it must be the fault of the slave. You should ask yourself whether you have a heart of infidelity to the emperor. If it comes from someone else, I think there may be a villain who separates the monarch and his ministers and sows right and wrong. Don't ask about this heart. This servant was born with military merits, and he was originally a rough person, so he shouldn't have such a heart, but the emperor entrusts this servant with his heart and entrusts him with heavy responsibilities, so he should not lie to the emperor about what he thinks."

His confession was eloquent and eloquent, and he expressed his feelings frankly and frankly, which was almost closely connected with what Yongzheng Fangbao said just now.Yongzheng couldn't help being startled, and after a long time, he chuckled and said, "Uncle, if you say you are a 'small person', a small person dare not come to me and say this; if you say you are a 'rough person', you think too much. Zi said, it’s too late, thinking too carefully, and digressing a lot!" He paused, glanced at Fang Bao who was calm and calm, and said: "I have always done things in a free and unconstrained manner, and I go alone and do not plan for others. How are you and me? What kind of relationship? Who dares to pick three nests and four? Nian Gengyao is a man from the mansion, and everyone in the world knows that he is my number one trustworthy. Last year he made a secret statement, saying, "Long Ke Duo is an ordinary person", and I immediately Zhu Bian reprimanded him, saying that uncle is a real minister of the country, a hero of mine. Don’t allow him to speculate! The book is in the cabinet, you can take a look if you want.” See the twelfth letter of "Yongzheng Zhuyu" for the memorial.Yongzheng Zhu commented on the 12th series of "Anecdotes Congbian": "Uncle Longkodo, not only did I and you not know him well before, but we were really wrong. This person is really a loyal minister of the emperor, a hero of mine, and a good minister of the country. He is truly the rare minister who is the most outstanding in the contemporary era."

"The death of the Empress Dowager is an extraordinary event." Fang Bao sat still and said with his beard raised, "Master Long must have known about the affairs between the kings in the later years of the Holy Ancestor, and I will be there when the will is given to you. This time Because the fourteenth elder brother resisted the decree and yelled at the emperor in front of the empress dowager, the empress dowager was so distressed that she suddenly became obsessed with it. To prevent unexpected changes, the emperor personally dispatched the Fifth Route Army horses to protect Da Nei. This matter, except for me , even Zhang Tingyu doesn’t know. Lord Long, if you have any grievances, send them to me, and don’t get involved with other ministers.”

Longkodo took a heavy breath, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I'm not complaining, it's just that I can't figure it out. I usually use it every day for dispatching troops from the Military Aircraft Department. According to Zhang Tingyu's words, I can't use it when it's locked! "

"You have to be considerate of Heng Chen. He just said to come in to greet you. I said you don't need to come in. Go back to the house and sleep well." Yongzheng frowned imperceptibly, and said with a smile, "He is very tired and angry. What can't I say? In Chengde that year, he took out his status as the prince and grand tutor, and asked a dozen elder brothers to stand in the ice and snow in Jiedeju for a night, and the wind was blowing in the snow. What do you think? I advise you , just take what you want, since you are the prime minister, you have to show your capacity. Of course, after the incident, I will naturally say him, you have always had a good time, so you can sit down and have a talk!"

Yongzheng spoke eloquently, metaphorically and comfortingly, but Longkodo was speechless.He had already noticed that his words and deeds were abnormal, how deep the water was, and seeing that Yongzheng was unsuspecting, he naturally felt relieved, and his "anger" disappeared completely.Yin said with a smile: "My lord's lesson is that the servant resigned for no other reason. I will see Heng Chen some other day. We will chat and we will be able to let go." When Yongzheng saw that he had left the Hanging Flower Gate, he turned his face and asked Fang Bao:

"how?"

"The lord asked the minister how he was, and the minister also asked the lord 'how'?" Fang Bao rolled his eyes, smiled treacherously, and said, "Do you think he looks like someone from 'Nightmare Town'?"

"Look, let's see what's wrong again." Yongzheng nodded, stopped talking about this topic, took out a notebook from the case, and said, "This is Yue Zhongqi's defense notebook. Apart from saying that Nian Gengyao was domineering, He talked about a lot of things that the soldiers of the Nian Ministry plundered the people's property and killed innocent people indiscriminately. He wants to take five thousand soldiers and horses to sweep across Qinghai, boasting Haikou in front of me, and he will definitely wipe out the poor. What do you think?"

Fang Bao bowed and said: "Military ministers don't quite understand. Long live, can I ask the thirteenth and fourteenth masters? However, according to my knowledge, Yue Zhongqi has the heart to make meritorious service. If it is feasible, it is better to let him do it." I’m too lazy to ask Yun, so I’ll send him to Zunhua tomorrow, if he doesn’t go, he has to go!” The muscles on Yongzheng’s left cheek twitched, “He’s been in Qinghai for five years, and he hasn’t won such a big victory, which shows his incompetence. After looking at Yunxiang, Yunxiang said that the Luobu soldiers had been routed and scattered all over Qinghai and lost contact. Yue Zhongqi used [-] troops to defeat each of them. Yao is too thoughtful, so he is a little hesitant." Fang Bao smiled and said, "It's okay. But I still ask him to be restrained by Gui Nian Gengyao, and share his merits and demerits, so Nian Gengyao won't go too far."

"It's true." Yongzheng immediately heard what Fang Bao said, and hurried to the front of the case, picked up the ink pen, and said to Fang Bao with a smile: "I approve it like this, do you think it is good?" Then he wrote, Fang Bao came over When I read it, I saw a cursive script: Dragon Teng Snake Dance:
I am very happy to read the play, but you and Nian Gengyao are both my arms, so it is not appropriate to create a rift based on similarities and differences.That is to say, Zhuqing was General Fenwei, and he was still controlled by Nian Gengyao.Yiqing played to sweep away the demon atmosphere, and I lay down on a high pillow to wait for Chu Yin.On the day of triumph, will the country be stingy with the gift of the noble?

"Excellent!" Fang Bao said with a twinkle in his eyes, "It seems more appropriate to add a word 'ke' after the word 'still' in 'Still Gui Nian Gengyao's restraint'." Yongzheng was stunned for a moment, without hesitation He added a word "ke" between the lines, called someone to come in, and ordered: "Immediately send it to the Zhongqi Camp in Songpan Mountain in an urgent six hundred miles!"

After dealing with this matter, Yongzheng felt relaxed all over, and really wanted to yawn comfortably. His arms were already stretched out, and he suddenly thought that Fang Bao was in front of him, so he retracted again, because he saw Fang Bao pondering thoughtfully: "Mr. If you are really tired, go back to Changchun Garden first, and then discuss the matter tomorrow, at your age, it is really difficult for you to fight with me."

"My lord is so diligent, how dare I say I'm tired?" Fang Bao stared blankly into the distance, as if facing Yongzheng, and as if talking to himself, "The battle of Qinghai has already spent 700 million taels of silver, all Victory back to the division, there is no 500 million that can’t be paid, and the total is 200 million taels. Although the liquidation of the shortfall is recovered, a lot of disaster relief is used in Shandong and Henan. Just pointing to the need to fill in the gaps is a tree without roots and water without a source. Since I am studying the system for the sake of longevity, how can I not think about these things?"

Yongzheng stayed for a while, and said: "Qinghai has won the victory, and I feel that I have passed the 'pass'. The rest of the matter can be discussed slowly. Um... In May next year, I will ask Nian Gengyao to come to Beijing to present prisoners for a military parade. , Summon a group of ministers to discuss together. What do you think, sir? Make a detailed list, and I, Tingyu, Ma Qi, Longko and others will discuss it, and that's it-pass meal!"
