Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 79
"Fang team drill!" Nian Gengyao yelled, causing Yongzheng to tremble uneasily.He leaned forward a little, and sat upright again reservedly.

"tie!"

Mu Xiang'a knelt down on one knee and saluted Yongzheng, turned around with a "slap", returned to the banner of the general in the drill field, and shouted: "The military order of the general, please long live the parade parade!"

"Long live the emperor, long live!" the three thousand sergeants thundered in unison.Each of the three square teams is led by three guards wearing peacock feathers and yellow jackets.Sometimes they line up horizontally, sometimes they run vertically, sometimes they form a straight line, and sometimes they change into finished characters. The yellow dust rolls with swords, lights, swords and shadows full of murderous aura. Occasionally, those who cannot withstand the heat and faint are immediately thrown out of the team by the volley. Drag it down for treatment.Nian Gengyao's military order was so serious and serious, Yongzheng and the kings and ministers of Shangshufang were shocked.Yun Jiu heard that Nian Gengyao killed people in the army, but he couldn't connect with the peaceful and gentle image in front of him. Today, seeing the color in person, he knows that the rumors are true.Just as he was in a daze, Mu Xiang'a staggered the black and red flags with both hands, and all the formations were in chaos immediately, and the dust and yellow flames shot up into the sky.Yongzheng couldn't help but glanced at Nian Gengyao, Nian Gengyao's eyes gleamed with dark gray light, he stared at the troops without turning his head and said: "Master, this is an evolution, I evolved it according to Wuhou's Eight Formation Diagram. In case our army system is disrupted and we are besieged by the enemy, we will use this formation to unite and rectify..." While speaking, the team formed a circle, and the middle team formed a Tai Chi double fish shape and squirmed around. Then, with a bow in hand, the guards in the inner team were reorganized. In an instant, with the two Taiji fish eyes as the core, the inner team was reorganized into two square teams, and the outer sergeants joined together to form a large square team composed of three thousand soldiers. Walking vertically and horizontally, it just forms the four characters "longevity without bounds".At this time, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Okay!" Yongzheng's face was harmonious, he nodded and smiled and got up and said, "Let's go down to the Yu. Go to the army of Bili Pagoda to meet the officers above the guerrillas." Nian Gengyao bowed his body and said "yes". Turn around and help Yongzheng down.Yongzheng was in front, and Nian Gengyao accompanied him later. Ministers Yun, Longkodo, Ma Qi, and Zhang Tingyu followed suit, passing through the human corridor between the four characters "Longevity without borders".With a wave of Nian Gengyao's hand, all the soldiers knelt down, and the horseshoe sleeves slapped loudly.When Yongzheng stepped down from the ice-filled bath, he immediately felt unbearably hot and sweaty all over his body in an instant.Enduring the heat, he walked calmly and slowly, until he reached the dripping eaves on the steps of the Chinese Army lobby, he felt a little cool, because he saw Bi Lita, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Wuge were all guarding the entrance of the hall, and when he was about to enter, he turned back He waved his hands and said with a smile: "You are all my treasures, the country is a city, and I will accept you!" Immediately, the earth collapsed and the mountains cracked and shouted: "Long live, long live!"

Yongzheng went in and sat in the middle, and everyone filed in. Nian Gengyao gave some instructions to Mu Xiang'a, who was directing the performance, and stepped in. Seeing that there was a seat beside Yongzheng, which was supposed to be reserved for himself, he bowed He said: "The servant has summoned the military assistant above guerrilla to come to see you." Seeing Yongzheng nodding, he sat beside Yongzheng.Seeing that he was so arrogant and rude, Ma Qi was about to speak when Zhang Tingyu, who was beside him, touched his toes quietly with his foot. Ma Qi blushed, lowered his head and said nothing, but the fire in his heart burned Straight to flee.Everyone was meditating with their own thoughts, ten guards, more than 20 lieutenant generals, generals, and guerrillas had already entered. Immediately, their waist knives and swords clanked, and their spurs creaked on the bluestone slabs. Kneel nine times to salute.

Yongzheng looked at the group of soldiers from top to bottom. They were all wearing cowhide armor in this hot day. Everyone was sweating profusely. It’s like that. You’re really exhausted, you’re so tired! Take off your clothes and take off your armor.”

"Thank you Long live!" the generals replied, but none of them took off their clothes.

"Take off your clothes and take off your armor—Bilita, do you still have any ice? Bring some to reward them!"

Bilita promised to take care of it.But none of the generals obeyed the order to remove their armor, and all stared at Nian Gengyao.Yongzheng said it again, and Nian Gengyao said: "Since Long Live has a will, you should take off your armor and cool off." The generals then hurriedly agreed to retreat to the sides with a "prick", three times, five times and two times. He took off his armor and waited by his side wearing only tulle servants. A cold light flashed in Yongzheng's eyes, but it was fleeting. He smiled and said, "In a room, the temperature and cold are different. We can't stand the heat." , the generals take off their cowhide armor, I’m afraid they feel cool, don’t they?” All of them are the commanders of the outer battalion guarding the border, most of them have never seen Yongzheng, they only heard that Yongzheng was cold and mean, and listened to his gentle words Humorous, the vigilance of Tianwei who is so close at hand suddenly relaxed, and they all smiled.But Yongzheng turned around and asked Bi Lita: "You have seen the formation today, how is your soldier compared to the general's?" The pun said: "The slave has opened his eyes, it is better than the soldiers led by the slave! The slave entrusted his ancestors, and when he was 16 years old, he went to the west with the late emperor. He has never seen these formations. It is really good to learn from the young general. study."

"I am really happy today." Yongzheng said with great emotion, "Nian Gengyao is an old man from my vassal residence, and I still have a relationship with me. I am very happy to fight such a big victory and bring out such a strong tiger and wolf warrior." I feel like showing my face. I have a purpose in front of me. Nian Gengyao is my benefactor, not only because he devoted himself to serving me. The worries of the ancestors in his later years were also eliminated in one battle, and the shame of defeat in the 56th year of Kangxi was avenged for the ancestors. Being one with the holy ancestor, this is the first concern since inheriting the great position. The ancestor's precepts have the righteousness of not being a Liu but not a king. Nian Gengyao is against this rule and can only be promoted to a first-class prince, but I regard him as my brother and nephew. This It is one level. But if there is only Nian Gengyao in front of him with one heart and one mind, he will definitely not be able to win such a great victory. As a result, all the subjects of the world will share the blessings of Yao, Heaven and Shun. The merits of a general are as bright as the sun and the moon in the country and will never be wiped out! Ting Yu—”

"Chen is here!"

Yongzheng said slowly: "Today, all the generals of the army will be upgraded by one rank. In addition, Nian Gengyao's promotion will be transferred to the merit examination department of the Ministry of Officials for records, and the tickets will be approved for each position. "

"tie!"

"Pass the decree, distribute 3 taels of internal money, and reward it to the sergeants of today's parade!"

"Pass the decree, Liu Molin drafted the stele of the great general's meritorious deeds during the Western Expedition, set the stone in Xining, and remembered it forever!"

"tie!"

Yun's heart tensed: Liu Molin is kneeling in front of his study to bask in the sun, what's wrong with this?While thinking nervously, Zhang Tingyu said: "Long live, the imperial decree for the stele, who is sent to Xining to handle it?" "Let's go to Liu Molin." Yongzheng took a sip of tea and replied casually: "Give him the status of an imperial envoy, and actually grant him the title of General Zhengxi." It's over." Yun thought about it, it would be hard to hide this matter from Yongzheng for a long time, and he bowed beside him and said: "Although Liu Molin is thin and talented, but he always listens to people's advice and behaves quite indiscreetly." Then he will be in Prince Lian's Mansion I told the previous story, but I didn't tell you about the festival of kneeling in the sun, "——so I asked him to stay in my study temporarily, waiting for me to reprimand him in the court. Su Shunqing was born as a kabuki, but she was a pariah. In fact, she died for Xu Liu The two committed suicide in jealousy and shame. For such a small matter, Liu Molin dared to insult the officer in front of me. It seems inappropriate for such a person to write a monument of merit for General Nian."

Yongzheng's expression changed upon hearing this.Not long after he came to the throne, he issued an edict to liberate the untouchables. Even people like Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi didn't know why they were so busy doing this urgent task.Only Nian Gengyao and Li Wei heard that the emperor was on business in Anhui when he was young, and was trapped by floods. Fortunately, a family of Lehu was rescued, and he had a romantic affair with Lehu's daughter, Xiaolu and Xiaofu. See Chapter 227 of this volume. [-] pages of instructions.Yun talks eloquently, thinking he is decent, but he doesn't know that the more he talks about "untouchables", the more he touches Yongzheng's taboo.Yongzheng suddenly thought of the girl who looked very similar to Xiaolu, and went to Zunhua with Yun, but now he doesn't know what to do?After Yun finished speaking, Yongzhengfang came back to his senses, and said with a sneer, "Liu Molin's idea of ​​flirting and sin is so serious? I think he is slightly better than those Taoists! Liu didn't lie to me about Su Shunqing, I know When it comes to untouchables, there has already been a decree. Looking into it carefully, isn’t Xu Jun’s grandmother also a untouchable? And—” He glanced at Yun, but changed the subject. "I don't discuss this today, this matter is settled like this." But Yun knew the meaning of the word "and". His own biological mother, the nobleman Wei, was originally a clothes slave in the Royal Xinzhekuli!Yongzheng finished pointing out the topic, Yun Shen felt a slip of the tongue, ashamed and annoyed, and stared at Yongzheng with an angry fire in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything, and only breathed heavily one after another.

"Liu Molin is full of talent, and this slave has already learned his lesson in the army." Nian Gengyao apologized and smiled, "There is also a shortage of people around the slave who are involved in the affairs of the article. Mo Lin is here, so I will save the slave from writing the memorial." Yongzheng turned his face away. He said to Gao Wuyong: "You go to Ba Ye's study to deliver the decree to Liu Molin. After applying for the plaque, ask him to hand over the plaque to see me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Nian Gengyao said: "Your Majesty, once the military parade is over, the slaves don't intend to stay in Beijing. Please order, when is it appropriate for the slaves to leave Beijing? With so many people, the one who arranges food and grass at the front station number house should go first?"

"You kneel down!" Yongzheng saw dozens of generals crowded in the hall, feeling more and more stuffy and hot, he waved his hand and ordered them to retreat, got up and gently walked back and forth with his fans, and said slowly: "Yue Zhongqi handed me the secret booklet." , Sichuan Army and your subordinates are often a little awkward. You go in tomorrow to meet the queen and concubine Nian. On the auspicious day after tomorrow, Zhang Tingyu and Fang Bao will set up a banquet to see you off on my behalf. I have already transferred the book on the things you said about food and salaries. The Ministry of Households, all armies are in Qinghai, and there are officers below a thousand generals. I want you to depose me, and I will have to wait for the Ministry to discuss it before I can make a decision. Go back to the Ministry of Life and join the army. You and Yue Zhongqi are my heart and soul ministers If you work with one master with sincerity and sincerity, there will naturally be less friction." Nian Gengyao was startled for a moment, and then asked in astonishment: "Aren't these 3000 men and horses going with the slaves?" Yongzheng said with a smile: "Ten guards, stay The capital is waiting for another use. The three thousand sergeants are still your soldiers. I saw them today, and they are really well trained. I intend to keep them for a while. , going on tour to learn from various armies, and then go back to Xining, you don’t have to worry about it, they are also calm, don’t they have all four corners?”

Nian Gengyao raised his brow imperceptibly. The ten guards were originally sent by Yongzheng, so it doesn't matter if they stay. These three thousand soldiers are all his bianzuo, who not only fight to the death Don't die, the rare thing is that they are all fed with money, and they dare to do anything they want to do at the first order, and they can't leave it for a while.If Yongzheng changed his mind and left all these people in Beijing, wouldn't he lose all his money for many years?But Yongzheng said so grandly that there was no war on the front line in Xining. Nian Gengyao couldn't find a reason to block the emperor's words. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said: "Slave, this is going to refute the master. The soldiers are brought by me. I eat the emperor's salary, I get the money and rations from the court, even I am the emperor's man, and the emperor will follow his orders! But the emperor also knows that Yue Zhongqi's soldiers who entered Qinghai are not at peace with his subordinates. I have been friends with Yue for many years. The master doesn't say anything, but he has to do things with one heart when he goes back. Those dumb-headed young officers below are young and vigorous, and they don't have such capable people to suppress them. If something goes wrong, the court will not face the face. Don't they let the master down? Heart?"

"Irrelevant." Yongzheng said and stood up, "When I go back, I will order Yue Zhongqi to rein in his army. If you go back, nothing will happen." Then he left, Nian Gengyao Bilita Zhang Yu went straight to the gate of Daying, knelt down and waited for Yongzheng to drive away before returning.
