Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 57
"No!" Fan Shijie pushed back head-on, "Yue Zhongqi is very close to Songpan, and I am thousands of miles away in Lanzhou. Why did you send my troops to Songpan? Knowing about military affairs, he is afraid that Yue Zhongqi will compete for merit! Long live, this is a clear matter, and I don't understand even if I die, why are you protecting Nian's weaknesses?"

Yongzheng became more and more irritable. Seeing that Liu Molin was going to play draw with him again, he was so angry that he threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box, and said angrily: "Play another game, play draw, I will kill you— ——Fan Shijie, are you talking to me? Are you called Shouchen Dao? Nian Gengyao won a great victory in the west, celebrating with the court and enjoying the same joy in the thin sea. You want to cry to the corner and make me unhappy? ——Win the battle Well, this matter means that Nian Gengyao is right, and you are not happy, which proves that you are a villain!" "A minister is a gentleman, not a villain!" Fan Shijie immediately pushed back, "Could it be enough to win a battle? Bullying the emperor? When Nian Gengyao's servants came to the minister's yamen, he asked the minister to open the middle door to welcome him, and the minister could not do what he wanted." Yongzheng was so angry that his hands trembled, and he said, "If you don't listen to Nian Gengyao, you just don't listen to me. of!"

"I listen to Long Live, not Nian Gengyao!"

"Then you can't be the governor!"

"I'm not that material, and I don't want to be a governor."

Yongzheng was furious, stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Fifth Brother Zhang!" Fifth Brother Zhang had heard Fan Shijie and Yongzheng quarreling a long time ago, and came in with his hands clasped in cold sweat.Yongzheng's face was blue and white, his hands trembling and his head shaking, he pointed at Fan Shijie and stammered, "Show me this, send it—" Liu Molin also stood up in shock, and hurriedly knelt down again, fearing to send Fan Shijie to The Ministry of Punishment was about to persuade, but Yongzheng had already changed his words, "Send it to Prince Yi's mansion, and ask Yunxiang to discipline this beast!" A group of eunuchs and court ladies were so frightened that everyone's hands and feet were weak, and they were surprised to hear that the punishment was so light , can't help but look at each other.

"Put your name on the line, be careful!" Yongzheng sat down again, still angry, and said to Liu Molin, "I can't see hypocrisy. I won't tolerate a little bit of hypocrisy. You can't beat me in this game of chess. You have no jokes." , I will kill you!"

Liu Molin looked at the chessboard. To win Yongzheng, he only needed to grab a few high-ranking officials, and it was effortless.But Yongzheng is so moody, who knows what will happen if he loses the chess; while making up his mind to make a calm move, a game of chess is easy to calculate, but it is a draw again!
"Fork out!"

Yongzheng was furious at the case, and Lao Gao flew up the chessboard full of chess pieces: "It's all fake, it's a lie! It's really boring!" Several eunuchs came over immediately, set up Liu Molin and left.Liu Molin struggled, raised one hand, and shouted, "Long live, I won you! This blackie is in my hands!"

"What's wrong with the emperor, so angry?" Everyone was paying no attention when Yun Xiang's voice came from outside, and then Yun Xiang came in cheerfully.Seeing several eunuchs supporting Liu Molin who was holding a Mozi in a daze, Yongzheng had an angry and funny look on his face, and said angrily, "Let go of this idiot!" After telling the story just now, he sighed: "My prosperity and wealth in the feudal mansion have not diminished. Now, I still have a few friends who can chat and say a few words of my own. Now if you look at these people, some deliberately want to piss me off, and some have strange feelings. Thoughts, flattery on the face, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, they say it's a nine-fold bow, but they're actually sitting on the pins and needles playing tricks, telling auspicious lies, watching auspicious fake plays, and even pretending to win chess, it's really boring to think about it Already!"

After listening to it for a long time, Yunxiang realized that Yongzheng was lonely in his heart, so he became angry for no reason, and comforted him with a smile: "Your Majesty, he is a person who is said to be a widow. The late emperor also said these words when he was around. His old man would know To comfort myself, I will find my own fun. Today I will tour the East, tomorrow I will go to Wutai Mountain, and the next day I will climb Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, or I will go to the south of the Yangtze River. I will not miss the government affairs after watching the scenery. First I worshiped Wu Ciyou as my teacher, and later I also asked Fang Bao to be a friend, not to be an official, but only to be a companion—the emperor is serious, day and night, except for doing things, how can he not be lonely? No one can blame others, only blame the emperor for not being able to enjoy happiness." Yongzheng With a self-conscious smile, he waved his hands and ordered the eunuch: "Let go of Liu Molin! Could it be true that I'll kill you for a game of chess, I'm not even as good as King Zhou of Yin—if you flatter me like this, don't come in to serve you!"

Liu Molin hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I just saw that the emperor is not happy, and I have sought auspiciousness. I know that the emperor will never get rid of the eater just because of such a trivial matter." Yongzheng also laughed when he said a word.Yun Xiangyin said: "Just now I was going to discuss matters, and I happened to meet the fourteenth brother. He will be on the road tomorrow, and we talked for a while. Ask me if I can bring my family and whether the guards of the palace should go with me. Let me ask you for these things. When I came in, I ran into Fan Shijie again at the entrance of Yongxiang..."

Yongzheng felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart, and suddenly remembered——only then did he realize that his temper is bad today, all because of seeing this woman, he interrupted Yunxiang after thinking about it, and said, "You have interrogated Nuo Min once For the case, what is the name of the witness Tian Wenjing brought from Shanxi?"

"Witness?" Yunxiang couldn't help being stunned. He never expected that Yongzheng would digress and talk about this all of a sudden, while pondering, he said: "The witnesses come from the chief envoy, the inspector, and the treasury officials. Alright, which one is Banzai asking?"

"Where's that girl?"

"It's from Daizhou, long live—"

"What is your name?"

"Joindi..."

Yongzheng leaned back on the back of the chair, seeming to be asking questions and muttering to himself: "Surname Qiao? Oh...that's a Han." The second monk Yunxiang Zhang couldn't figure it out, and said: "It's a Han, and now it's ten years old. Fourth brother's mansion. Long live why did you ask this?" Yongzheng held his breath and said, "It's nothing, just ask casually, you tell Yun that you don't need to bring guards, and the family members can go with him - let alone Fan Shijie, he said What happened?" Yun Xiang looked at Liu Molin who was standing with his arms down, and said, "Liu Molin should not spread this word, Fan Shijie said that Nian Gengyao must be guarded against."

"Fan Shijie said this just now. Liu Molin is not a fool, and he won't make fun of his own head." Yongzheng said coldly, "The general has all kinds of majesty, and Nian Gengyao controls the troops of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanchuan, and Qing." , I don’t accept the orders of the emperor outside. Arbitrary killings naturally invite gossip. No one is perfect, and I only take his great achievements. Otherwise, the big officials who work outside will become cautious and good gentlemen. What's the point? Liu Molin, you go to meet Prince Bao and convey my will. I will send you out of the Meridian Gate tomorrow. Old Prince Baylor under the age of 70, an official of the Ministry of Education of the Six Departments and the Nine Ministers and above, will send you to Luhe Station for a banquet Beijing. I still have an edict later, you bring it to Nian Gengyao!" Liu Molin stepped back out of the hall after hearing a promise, and went to deliver the edict himself.

Only Yongzheng and Yunxiang were left in the hall.Yongzheng's mood seemed to be a little confused, he took off his blue satin sandals and sandals, and put on a pair of mille-soled cloth shoes to walk around.Yun Xiang stood aside and stared at Yongzheng intently, and after a while, he said: "Long live, you seem to have something on your mind?"

"Yeah,..." Yongzheng stroked his hot forehead, as if he couldn't help sighing, "There is nothing wrong with the court, and the world is peaceful. For some reason, I always feel uneasy in my heart. It seems that when I leave Beijing, my heart is empty." Seems like. Sanbei Lehongshi, can he sit on this bar?" Yunxiang bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "It's okay, Longkodo is in charge of the defense of the Forbidden City, and myna and I are helping to deal with the government affairs. If you can’t cook, Mr. Fang lives in Changchun Garden, and we can go to ask for advice. Besides, the emperor is going to Henan, not far from here, and he will go back and forth the next day if he is [-] miles away.” Yongzheng glanced at Yunxiang and moved Shicai sighed: "Old Shisan, I don't want to say anything, I just want to tell you, Fengtai Daying, you will take care of me."

Yunxiang savored Yongzheng's words carefully, and after a while he lowered his head and replied: "Yes! Bilita is someone I have served for decades, most of the generals in the camp were drawn by the emperor himself. Long live, don't worry! "I can't rest assured." Yongzheng's eyes were gray and dark, as if he was looking into the distance as if he wanted to penetrate the palace wall, "—ask Ma Qi to move to Changchun Garden, if you have something to discuss with Fang Bao Ma Qi—you know I don’t know, Longkodo once went to the emperor’s history to take away the jade documents of my three sons. It is kept at home. The jade document is the royal genealogy. "Except for the yamen of the clan's mansion, outsiders are not allowed to read it privately. Even if there is an official business to see, they should go there and read it with respect." Long Kedo has committed a crime of disrespect.? Besides , just as the Queen Mother passed away, what did he go to the Military Plane Department to conduct a survey and cooperation? By the way, the military is over, and the Military Plane Department’s dispatching and survey cooperation must be closed immediately-you can do this after you leave in a while!"

Yun Xiang's head buzzed, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: The Emperor's Jade Document is the most confidential file, it's not very important to say, but it records the exact date and date of each person's birth.What's the use of Longko taking this thing—other than killing people in Nightmare Town?Reminiscent of the empress dowager's death and all the defenses of the imperial court, and thinking about Yongzheng's words, it really makes people shudder. He muttered in thought: "Longkoduo? Longkoduo...is the person who proclaimed the will...could it be...?"

"I'm just guarding against people, and I don't intend to harm people. Don't make wild guesses." Yongzheng's eyes stared at Yunxiang, shining brightly: "You must understand that forcing officials to pay back the deficit; changing the ratio of copper and lead in making money ; Clearing up unjust cases; there are also a few of my favorite ministers, Li Wei is measuring the land, canceling the poll tax; Tian Wenjing is also planning to ask the officials and gentry to pay the grain in Henan - I have offended all the officials in the world and offended all the rich and wealthy landlords. There are many hidden dangers inside and out, and I have long hoped that Nian Gengyao will be defeated so that they can convene a meeting of the iron hat kings of the Eight Banners to force the palace! So Nian Gengyao is a heinous bastard, and we have to buy his account first! ——Fang Sir, it's amazing!" Yun Xiang smiled and said: "I don't even know that the emperor has so many tricks——no wonder some people say——"

He suddenly felt that he had slipped his mouth, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't continue for a while.Yongzheng stared at him closely, saw that his face was flushed, and said: "If you want to tell lies, you should quit!" Yunxiang could only hiss, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "It is said that the emperor is helping the rich and helping the poor...the robber emperor ——But it’s not just about the emperor, but there’s also a sentence of ‘Yunxiang is working for the tiger’.”

"Well said! With such thoughts and actions, I am the strongest man in the world! But to say that I am a 'tiger' would be an underestimation of me. I was ordered by the sky, and I am the son of the real dragon. , so you are working for the 'dragon'!" Yongzheng clenched his teeth tightly, and with an indescribably contemptuous smile on his face, he walked slowly for a few steps, then suddenly raised his head and sighed, and said: "I Why don't you know how to maintain these brothers well? If the emperor, minister, father, son, brother, Yongyong, Mumu, and brothers are more modest, my own life will be easier? But you must understand that Mencius said that 'the people are the most precious', but he is actually reminding the monarch not to treat the people It’s overthrown! Now the accumulated evils are piled up like a mountain. When it comes to the root cause, the officials don’t follow the king’s teachings and don’t do anything for the common people. Don’t suppress these corrupt officials, don’t punish the wealthy gentry in the fish and meat village—these officials Hogs and long snakes, city foxes and rats are below, 'for the imperial court' to stir up civil uprisings, and the civil uprisings arise, and the imperial court is powerless to suppress Luoping—the anti-civilian uprisings are worse than Fangchuan..." His mood seemed to be in extreme turmoil In a state of contradiction, he sighed and said again: "Think about it! Qin Shihuang ruled all Liuhe and swept the world, what a hero? Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, two sorghum flower sons raised their arms and made the situation mess up!"

Yun Xiang listened, pondered the meaning of these words, every word was pained to the bone, he couldn't help but slapped, his face became a little pale, and he smiled after a long time: "The emperor drew me this picture. The painting makes people shudder. But according to my younger brother, even though the officials are faint, they are still not Wen Tianwuxi. Our dynasty has no harsh government, and it is deeply benevolent. It will not be a flattery. It is very different from Qin II How did you get to that point!"

"Don't I know these things?" Yongzheng said coldly, "The most fearful thing is that generations of emperors think like you! So what you said is a reasonable bastard! Let's not talk about these things. Taiwan has done a good job in reclamation. The treasury provided food, and the prefect was called Huang Liben; when there was Yang Mingshi, Guizhou was self-sufficient this year, and there was still a little surplus. Tomorrow, I will call the study to draw up an edict, the award will be promoted to two levels, and the court will send it out!"

"tie!"

"You show me a good home!"

"tie!"

"Immediately go to the sticky pole, and order forty capable guards to guard me, and go out with me!"

"tie!"

"Tell them to pack up immediately," Yongzheng said with a smile, "Only you know this, tell Mr. Fang later, I will leave Beijing tonight!"

Yunxiang was taken aback, raised his head to stare at Yongzheng, and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it fixed for the day after tomorrow? Besides, there is no time to prepare for the parade of honor!"

"Sitting in the Luanjia, what else can you see besides flattering and laughing?" Yongzheng snorted, "I will leave in a humble manner. The carriage is empty. I will go to Wutai first, then to Mount Tai, and then to Henan. I will take the carriage back to Beijing—— I heard?"

"Zha-chen, understand!"
