Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 70 Luhualou leisurely recites "Fengfu" Fengtaiying discusses government affairs freely (1)
Longkodo had already arrived at the double gates in front of Changchun Garden, he parked the sedan chair under the big willow tree, pacing with his hands behind his back but hesitating, as if he was at a loss.This place is different from the inner city, the Forbidden City is surrounded by the infantry commander's yamen defense area, what he said in the upper study room, apart from the palaces where the concubines lived in the east and west six palaces, even the three palaces were searched.I thought that Ma Qi, a minister of the Han Dynasty, had never been in charge of military affairs, so he might not care about such trivial matters as who would garrison Changchun Garden.After receiving Ma Qiqian's letter with the official seal of Shangshufang, he realized that this bad old man is not easy to deal with, so he ordered the sedan chair to rush to Changchun Garden, and at the same time ordered Xu Jun to fly to Prince Lian's residence outside Chaoyangmen to ask for advice.

He anxiously waited for Yun's next plan at the gate of Changchun Garden, as if the days seemed like years.The scorching sun in May moved slowly in the clear blue sky, scorching the hot earth, and there was no wind; in the large farmland outside the double gate, even the grasshoppers were too hot to scream, just clucking The joints of the clucking corn made noises; bursts of heat waves hit the face, making it suffocating, but Longkodo didn't notice it, and his emotions like messy threads were sorted out over and over again, but it was still a mess of threads.Prince Yi Yunxiang is in charge of the defense of the capital. Since Yunxiang is ill, he has full power to dispose of the soldiers and horses in the capital. This is a matter of course. What is wrong, he consciously can afford it.But this action was manipulated by Prince Lian. He said that he would create chaos, but he didn't ask himself to pull a hard bow, saying that he would not cause chaos, but Yun's mind was clear to him.Yun promised himself to be a "Hongshi" party, but judging from Hongshi's confusing words, it doesn't look like that.The night before yesterday, Long Kedo also asked bluntly: "What is the charter of the eighth master?" Yun Ye only smiled and said: "What is unpredictable, you can only wait and see, you have the right to run errands for the emperor, but you are thinking about it." Be down-to-earth." Considering this and Hongshi's words, it's really hard to figure out what their respective calculations are!Longkoduo thought, frustrated and remorseful in his heart. He was a good and important minister, and he was trusted by Yongzheng. He didn't agree that because of a piece of paper, ghosts could not be ghosts, and thieves could not be thieves.Only now did he realize that "it's easy to get off a pirate ship when you get on a thief ship", this common saying really becomes more and more bitter... Thinking about it, a green horse galloped along the loess road in the shadow of the sun, Longkodo thought it was Xu Jun came back, and when he got to him, he saw He Zhu'er, the chief eunuch of Prince Lian's residence.

"Master Zhongtang," He Zhu'er laughed as he got off his horse with greasy hair all over his head, "Why are you standing in the sun and lost in thought? You've got heat stroke!"

"Huh? Huh!" Longkodo woke up from the stupefaction, and found that he was in a daze with nervousness. He didn't even notice the movement of the shadow of the sun. Son, just watch. You just came from the palace, did you see Xu Jun?" He Zhu'er opened his eyes, and saw Li Chunfeng and Li Yihe leading a large group of people out of Yimen, forming a team outside Changchun Garden , Hei Yaya stood in a large area, and asked, "Why are you all coming out?" Longkodo just glanced at it, and knew that his two subordinates could not withstand Ma Qi's defeat and retreated. Leaning against the tree root, he stared at He Zhu'er viciously, suppressed his voice and gritted his teeth, and said, "What does Eighth Lord mean? Is this kind of thing easy to tease people? You must have come here by the king's order!"

He Zhu'er was startled by his gloomy voice, and hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, Zhongtang, Ba Ye knows what's going on here. He will come to host right away, so let me tell Zhongtang first, this is an aboveboard matter for you." , Can’t be a soft-headed guy and down the flag——Li Chunfeng and Li Yi have come together, please order them to stand by on the spot, you go in and negotiate with Ma Zhongtang first, once the eighth master comes, two to one, he has to follow.” Longkodo With a sudden jump in his eyes, he had already comprehended the true meaning of Yun clearly and secretly, and couldn't help but flustered so much that his heart jumped. Seeing Li Chunfeng and Li Chunfeng approaching one after the other, he tried his best to calm down, and raised his airs and asked, "Is it possible to do it?" Not going well? Why are all of our people coming out."

"Talk back to Zhongtang, but the errand failed." Li Chunfeng glanced at He Zhu'er, explained the matter that Ma Qi blocked, then handed over the written note written by Ma Qi, stepped back cautiously and said: " The brothers only strung together a few empty halls, and there were guards blocking the few dignified places. Without your order, you can’t use force. The Ma Zhongtang is like that, and the lowly officials have to gather outside and wait for orders." "Really A bunch of useless people! It’s good for soldiers who are good at capturing battalions to fight alone, you are horse infantry who have been trained in field battles!” Longkoduo was furious, and reprimanded him sharply, suddenly felt that he was not the right person, nor was it the right time, and he changed with a sigh. He said: "I don't blame you, it's because some of our ministers in the study can't breathe. I'll go in and see Ma Qi to see what's going on. Don't stay away, wait for my military order!"

Long Kedo walked into the garden as soon as he said that. In an instant, he suddenly felt confident. I am the minister in charge of military affairs. The emperor will return to clean the palace and the palace. Why do you Ma Qi stop me?As soon as he entered the gate of the garden, he saw Erlun Dai come out to greet him, because he said, "I want to see Ma Zhongtang?"

"Ma Zhongtang is in Luhua Building, just ordered to come down, and is about to see you!"

"Where's Liu Tiecheng? Tell the Changchun Garden guards to go to Luhua Building!"

"I saw Liu Tiecheng went to Luhua Building when I came out. I don't know if he is still there now."

Longkodo didn't say anything else, and entered the garden with a wave of his hand. When he passed Danningju, he saw that Liu Tiecheng had gathered the second and third-class guards stationed in Changchun Garden and hundreds of Shanzhuying Military Academy, and was lecturing .Liu Tiecheng was the leader of the water bandits who was recruited by Emperor Kangxi himself in Luoma Lake during his southern tour.When Kangxi was alive, he had only one Kangxi in his eyes, but now Yongzheng let him take charge of Shanzhuying, and he became a role that no one would recognize except Yongzheng.He was wearing maroon lake silk bloomers on his lower body, but a yellow jacket on his upper body, with a big knife hanging from his waist, and a pair of fast boots were standing on the stone steps. He denounced this group of military academies: "You bunch of scumbags, you don't know until you have entered the garden! Did Lao Wu, the leader, do the same thing when he was in the army? I went to the underworld at the age of seven, and at 35, I killed four Fifty-year-olds are not easy to provoke!" Longkodo felt his heart tense again when he heard the murderous words, and he turned his face away and walked north, and he heard Liu Tiecheng yelling from afar: "...give me a good garden, What dick is in the middle hall (Longzhong hall) in the back hall? Without my order, put a mouse in, and Liu Daba will give you a bowl of Daba!..." Long Kedo didn't listen carefully, and walked a few steps into Luhua Going up the tenth step of the building, he smiled at Ma Qi, who was dozing on the spring stool: "Xie Song, you are so comfortable! It is hot outside, but here is a cool world. I see that the officials from other provinces who are waiting to see them have all quit the garden. , is there no one here today?"

"It's cool here, so it's cooler here." Ma Qi sat upright, his slightly swollen eyeballs twitched, and he sighed with a tired face, and said, "Have you read Song Yu's "Feng Fu"? The wind is different from the common people's wind. Hmm...' Therefore, its cool and majestic wind floats up and down, rides on the high city, and enters the deep palace. The flowers and leaves of the mansion vibrate, hovering among the cassia peppers. Soaring above the raging water, Will strike at the essence of hibiscus. Hunting Huicao, away from Qin Heng, contemplating Xinyi, being caught by catkins, returning to the hole and rushing to the mausoleum, desolate and full of fragrance... Cool and refreshing, clear and clear, healed and dissected...'This is the king The wind. As for the wind of the common people, it's "boring and dusty, full of depression and injustice, punching the door, moving the sand, blowing the dead ashes, frightening the turbidity, and raising the rot." Cause dampness, the center is miserable... Coughing, life and death are not dead. This is the so-called female wind of the common people!'—how, can I recite it well?" Jade works.According to legend, he was a student of Qu Yuan, and later generations often call him Qu Song. "Fengfu" is in the form of Song Yu's answer to King Xiang of Chu, and describes the "majestic wind" enjoyed by the king. It blows over osmanthus pepper, lotus, Cymbidium, Qin Heng, and Xinyi lotus trees to make people cool.But the common people's "female wind" blows sand, dust and rotting matter, which makes people irritable, and even their mouths and eyes are crooked and half dead.Song Yu used this to satirize the king of Chu, and he should pay attention to the unevenness of joy and sorrow between the noble and the humble.The novel is quoted from the situation, and it also reveals a kind of sympathy and sense of justice mourning the hardships of the people's lives.

Longkodo did not expect to recite to himself as soon as he met Ma Qi. He had also read this "Feng Fu", but this Ma Qi recited the words like songs and chants, and every sentence was epigrams , every word is a proverb.He stood in a daze for a long time before he woke up. He sat down opposite Ma Qi and said, "Xie Song, Erlun Dai said that you invited me. Could it be that you asked me to listen to your endorsement?"

"Learning comes from books." Ma Qi thickly puffed out a puff of smoke, but his tone was light, "I don't mean to show off, but naturally you are a little startled when your soldiers enter the garden! So please come, I would like to ask, what is the reason for the different winds in and out of the garden?" Long Kedo pretended to be relaxed, took off his big hat and wiped his sweat, and said, "Is this why the old horse lost words with me? I thought You suspect me of treason! A few days ago, I received a report from Tai'an Mansion that Sheng Jia was about to return to Beijing. During the days when the emperor was on tour, the defenses of the East and West Gates were lax, and some eunuchs even brought their relatives to pretend to be women. You know that the city of Beijing is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. After Yun was banned, he often went out for a walk in the palace; ;The eighth master recuperates behind closed doors, and only a genius knows what is being done in the palace!——The thirteenth master, he is so sick that he can't manage affairs. If something goes wrong, it is the brother's responsibility. Therefore , the Forbidden Palace and this side have to appease you, you have become so suspicious!" At this point, he blushed with excitement, pointed his halberd out of the window and said: "Old Ma, we are ministers of the same dynasty, I have always respected you as an old senior, but today you slapped me in public! Everyone who entered the garden was kicked out. Listen to what Liu Tiecheng is talking about! Who ordered him to insult me ​​there? A joke, If I really want to occupy this Changchun Garden, can Shanchuangying stop it? You, Ma Xiesong, can sit comfortably on the Luhua Building, eat tea, smoke and see people do things. What "Fengfu" will you recite for me? Honestly Said, I will tear up the captives after I see Long Live, I want to take part in this Liu Tiecheng - according to my temperament back then, now I will take off his robe and beat him up! Do you think I dare? Ma Qige stood up with a smile, walked to the window and looked outside, turned around and said: "There is nothing about Liu Tiecheng, nor about Li Chunfeng and the others. Our study room is actually the cabinet of the former Ming Dynasty. The prime minister Shoulder, shoulders, heart and chest should be wider. If you want to tear the prisoner, just tear the prisoner. I am a person who has fallen all my life, and I am not afraid of falling again. The emperor returned to Luan to clean the palace. I didn’t say this, but I need a greeting , The second is to follow the rules. It is not clear why a scholar meets a soldier. In fact, it is even more unclear when a military order is issued. The clan’s residence has tightened its defenses. In Changchun Garden, it’s enough for Liu Tiecheng and the others to take care of it. The admirals of the nine sects and the admirals of the nine sects, manage their own nine sects well, and it’s considered a job well done!”

When Longkodo heard this, Ma Qi not only took full responsibility without hesitation, but also made it clear that he wanted to "tear him into captivity" with himself. The two handles were firmly held, but he didn't even have a serious word, which seemed false. But it was true, so plausible and false that he couldn't rely on it, and he suddenly regretted that Ma Qi had been his prisoner for more than a year, so why didn't he know that someone used a homemade bag to blackmail this old man overnight?He touched his waist subconsciously, only to realize that he didn't have a saber, because he said coldly: "I don't have a cold in my heart, and I'm not afraid of taking cold medicine. I just entered the garden, and I sent someone to invite Prince Lian. It's just you and me, Not really a 'collegiate'."

"That's very good. Mr. Fang is also in the study, and Prince Yi, how about inviting them?"

"Master Thirteen is seriously ill, so you don't need to invite me?"

"Thirteenth Lord is fine. He went to Fengtai Daying yesterday. If he can go there, he can come here too. Eighth Lord is also sick. Although the two princes have worked hard to help the sick and discuss matters, our responsibilities have been lightened."

"Okay, I've thought about it carefully. You might as well invite Sanbeile too. After all, he is the elder brother of the emperor. Let's discuss and let him decide."
