Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 81 Shi Yizhi speaks frankly and impeaches Power Minister Liu Molin to go to Western Xinjiang (2)
"You made a mistake this time because of your old age and lack of energy. I pity you very much." Yongzheng's expression seemed a little disappointed, "The mistake was unintentional, and there is no need to deal with it. You have too many part-time jobs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Zong You are in charge of the mansion, you can’t take care of a lot of things, why don’t you let them all go, and keep the two positions of minister in the study and minister in charge of the guards, what do you think?”

Although he didn't mention the post of commander of the infantry, it was obvious from hearing that this was the post that Yongzheng really wanted to dismiss.Long Keduo hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The slave has no status for his duty, and the master is generous, but it is no longer suitable for the slave to stay in the study room to wait. I beg you to be exempted from all duties. I am a police officer who neglects official duties!"

"I'm already very sad to punish you, let alone punish you for wrongful crimes." Yongzheng sighed, "According to this, if you go back tonight and write your resignation letter, I will naturally have to warn you that you still have to stay as the minister of the study—— You just back off now."

Longkodo was in a mess and couldn't express himself. He kowtowed a few times, and he didn't even know what he said.Yongzheng comforted me softly: "I know your heart, this is just a scene, the predecessors scattered soil, and fascinated the eyes of the future. You just have to be at ease. You treat me loyally, and I will definitely not wrong you." Said Then he actually helped up Longkodo and sent him straight out of the hall.

Seeing Longkoduo being guided out by the eunuch, Yongzheng went back to the hall, and said with a smile, "I wanted to see Liu Molin, but Shi Yizhi appeared on the way! There is a vacancy in the nine-door admiral's yamen, let's discuss it, who will make it up?" Ma Qi shook his head, and said, "It's good to be someone who understands military affairs. The ten guards following Nian Gengyao seem to have been trained in the army. How about Mu Xiang?" Yongzheng licked his lips and said nothing. Could it be, and shouted outside: "It is said that Liu Molin came in——Mu Xiang'a has not fought a battle in Nian Gengyao's army, these ostentatious behaviors are not real skills. I don't believe that his 'Tai Chi Diagram' formation is really effective! Mu Xiang'a and ten of them are summoned by me, and he has other commissions, so he can't do it." "Then Bilita." Ma Qi said again: "Bilita is a veteran, and he also fought against the holy grandfather in the past. "

"Fengtai Daying is also important." Fang Bao said, "People like Zhang Yu can't handle it for a while. It's not appropriate for Bilita to work part-time alone."

"Hmm." Yongzheng turned to Zhang Tingyu again, "Hengchen, why don't you talk?" Zhang Tingyu was in a trance at the moment, but felt dizzy and no longer hungry.He reluctantly bowed his body and said: "Actually, from the perspective of the slave, Tu Lichen is fine. The sticky pole was originally the inner court office of the guards in the palace, and Tu Lichen has handled several foreign missions well. Now the situation, I think it should be withdrawn." Drop the sticky pole, join the yamen with the commander of the infantry, and Tu Lichen will be the leader. The inner yamen raises soldiers, and it is easy to leave sequelae. This matter has long been wanted to be discussed by the minister, and it will be better if this matter is handled smoothly." Yongzheng listened with a smile and said: "It's very good to remove the sticky pole. There have been discussions outside, saying that the sticky pole is my personal guard, a bit like Dongchang Dongchang: Ming Dynasty Secret Service Agency. ——Original note. The bodyguard that Li Chen brings is "Blood Droplet" "Blood Droplet", which is said to be a murder weapon designed by Yongzheng and his friends in the green forest. There is a sharp knife in the skin bag, and the head is taken off when people are not prepared, and it turns into blood immediately. Chu refers to an extremely ferocious spy, what the hell. The more he can do what he says, the more people will listen to it! In fact, if you ask him to point to the sticky pole, he has killed and arrested any official without going through the judicial office, and he can't tell! Now Simply withdraw, and then shut up that villain's mouth." Then, he approached Zhang Tingyu, looked at Zhang Tingyu's face and said, "Your complexion is very bad, is there anything you can't use?"

Zhang Tingyu forced a smile and said: "I have nothing to do with this slave. I have something on my mind. I can't let go of Shi Yizhi's affairs. Zhan Shi's mansion used to serve the East Palace, but now there is no crown prince. This yamen is idle and rich. Nian Gengyao's family is like this now. Well, why would he risk his life to impeach Nian for no reason? Besides, the words he said can’t be said to have no effect, even if he is punished, there is no death penalty. To criticize so much, this Shi Yizhi is too ignorant."

"As far as love is concerned, love is still forgivable." Yongzheng was very sad when he said the central matter, "As far as reason is concerned, there is no way to treat Nian Gengyao without killing him!"

Fang Bao was listening, also very embarrassed.After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I have a way - to decide it by God!" Yongzheng turned his face and asked, "What do you mean?" Must participate in beheading Nian Gengyao, who came here to pray for rain. He was ordered to kneel outside the noon gate tomorrow to pray for rain. If it rains, the treacherous minister is not Nian Gengyao; if there is no rain, Nian Gengyao is not A treacherous official'—this is to vent your anger on Nian Gengyao's behalf, and to clear up his grievances.—Nian Gengyao can't hide what happened tonight."

"What about Shi Yizhi?" Yongzheng heard confused, "If it doesn't rain, will we kill him or not?" Fang Bao said with a smile, "I'm sure it will rain tomorrow. If there is no rain, Shi Yizhi has the words of the king Sin, what should be the crime of 'crazy talk', it should be dealt with by the Ministry of Punishments, just follow the law." Yongzheng walked to the entrance of the hall, subconsciously looked at the sky, but it was blue and cloudless, and the stars were shining brightly all day.He sighed, and said: "That's the way it is." Zhang Tingyu felt that Fang Bao's words were almost child's play, and just said, "Fang Linggao, this is not like the words of a scholar, but more like a magician from outside the country—" before he finished speaking , He fainted as soon as his eyes darkened.

The people in the hall were startled, Fang Bao stood up in a hurry, Yongzheng took a step back in shock, and shouted in a panic: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Liu Molin had already entered, guarding the door of the hall and did not dare to disturb them, now three steps He rushed in in two steps, and said: "Chen is proficient in medicine, Rong Chen will take a look first—" He squatted down hurriedly, opened Zhang Tingyu's eyelids, and held his pulse for a long time.Yongzheng asked anxiously, "What happened? What happened?"

"It's unbelievable..." Liu Molin shook his head, "How could this happen?"

"What are you talking about, telling me to guess riddles?"

"Ms. Zhang is not sick. I see...he's hungry."

Yongzheng frowned and said, "You're talking nonsense, I gave imperial meals twice today!" Gao Wuyong said beside him, "Maybe it's true, the two times when Zhang Tingyu was given meals were slaves, and there are too many people looking for him to do things. He was in a hurry to serve the master again, but he didn't finish his meal..." Zhang Tingyu had already woken up while speaking, seeing Yongzheng's group of people supporting him in astonishment, he said embarrassedly: "The minister was dizzy for a while, and the master was shocked." The two eunuchs stood up and smiled again, "Our Zhang family obeyed the precepts of our ancestors, cherished our blessings and ate less food, and even starved the prime minister, it's a big joke." Yongzheng couldn't "laugh", his heart kept going After sinking and sinking, it took a long time to wake up, and hurriedly called "Chuan Shan"!Fang Bao said: "Heng Chen may not be able to bear the meat and fish meat in the imperial meal." Liu Molin didn't care, and said: "I want a cup of milk, add more rock sugar, ready-made dim sum can be done in a few mouthfuls, no need to use imperial meal." Wuyong stood in a daze, and said sharply: "Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and do it!"

Zhang Tingyu greedily drank a large bowl of milk, and ate two more gong points, gradually regained his composure, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "I have never been so presumptuous in front of the master, and I have made a fool of myself today. I am fine now." , let's continue discussing the matter." Yongzheng meant that it was already late, and Zhang Tingyu was weak, so he wanted to change the discussion tomorrow.Zhang Tingyu said with a smile: "I originally planned to see Yang Mingshi and Sun Jiagan tonight, but I have saved it until tomorrow. Isn't it more tiring tomorrow? It's the old saying of the master, it's better to finish today's affairs today."

"Liu Molin, do you know what you were told to come in?" Yongzheng ordered everyone to have a bowl of ginseng soup, and asked with a dry cough.As soon as he spoke, the quiet and solemn atmosphere returned to the hall.Everyone thought that Liu Molin must say "I don't know", but unexpectedly Liu Molin kowtowed and said: "I know. This minister has violated Xu Jun in Ba Ye's mansion and offended Ba Ye. Long live must have listened to Ba Ye's words and will punish me. Needless to say, the minister did it on purpose, and it is up to the master." A few words made everyone laugh.Yongzheng said: "You are too clever! You didn't guess right at all. Xu Jun's flamboyant son took advantage of your eighth master's influence. As for you, a bohemian scholar, you did take my favor. It's enough to speak impartially! Eighth Master has already taught you a lesson on my behalf, so I won't punish you."

Liu Molin kowtowed and said, "Thank you, master, for your magnanimity, but Xu Jun is indeed a scum in clothes and a gentle beast. I didn't lose my manners when I was treated by the eighth master. I just spit on Xu Jun in his face. It's true. Xu Jun is from the Imperial Academy, not Eighth Master's servant, Eighth Master's arrogance is unreasonable. Although I am unrestrained, I really don't mean to be arrogant, I really can't swallow this tone."

"You should swallow this breath first." Yongzheng said calmly, "I know Su Shunqing's matter well, and I am angry with a woman and man, and I don't take this from you very much. You will see the Thirteenth Master later, and I will reward you with some money , and sent her well. There must be grass within ten steps, you who have read enough books don’t even know this truth?" Persuading others is easy but persuading oneself is difficult. The girl from He Yunyun actually touched her own hidden pain, she hurriedly recovered her mind, and said again: "I didn't ask you to come in to discuss private matters. I intend to let you serve as a foreign official, what do you think?" Liu Molin was stunned for a moment, and said: "I am a subject of the emperor, and I promise the country with my body. I am still the subject of the emperor in Beijing and abroad! Since the emperor asks 'what do you think', there are routines for those who are in the Imperial Academy, and they all aspire to be a student of politics, recruit students, and earn qualifications. It was also the same idea. The emperor wrote "On Cliques", which opened his mind after reading it - it was all for himself, not for the community. Long live to give the minister a medium-sized county, and the minister will take three years of small government, five years Nian Dazhi is a good shepherd for the emperor!"

Yongzheng sat cross-legged and his legs felt a little numb. He walked around casually on the ground, and suddenly smiled and said, "That's good, but you are not limited by the power of a county. I will give you the title of councilor and return it to Xining. Let's discuss the Daotai! Are you willing or not?"

……

"Well?"

"I dare not refuse to obey the edict, and I dare not tell lies: I don't want to go."

"why?"

Liu Molin repeatedly kowtowed and said: "General Nian is formidable and formidable, and the servants will not come!" Fang Bao, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu quickly exchanged glances, and Zhang Tingyu leaned forward with his hands on his knees and said, "My lord didn't say hello to him!" You serve Nian Gengyao. You are the counselor of Xining, the supervisor collects food and salaries for the Nian and Yue armies, and mediates disputes between the garrisons in Xining.

"Report to me directly." Yongzheng waved his hand, and Xing Nian came over, holding a small yellow box with two keys on it, Yongzheng took one and gave it to Gao Wuyong, "Take it for me." Xing Nian In the year, he presented the box to Liu Molin.Liu Molin held it in both hands, it was heavy, the corners were wrapped with gold-plated brass pages, the key teeth were criss-crossed, obviously it was a special lock, he immediately understood that this was a secret case that he had heard all the time but had never seen before!While he was in a daze, Yongzheng smiled and said: "This is an invention of the holy grandfather, which is unprecedented. Some people say that I have good eyes and ears and are not easy to be deceived by others. I rely on sticky poles to listen to corners. He is completely wrong! Up to the Governor-General Governor, down to the petty officials of the prefectures and counties, I give this box, just like correspondence with my family, say everything, whether it is true or false, right or wrong, no punishment or reward, no matter what time I take it apart , Approval at any time, but it is not an official document. If you have something to invent, if you are not sure, you can also ask me for instructions first—you report directly to Zhang Tingyu, and when you issue a clear document, it becomes an official business, so you must deal with it impartially gone."

Seeing Liu Molin in a daze, Ma Qi smiled and said, "Don't look at us being together with the emperor every day, we also have this box! This is a rare case, why don't you thank me quickly?"

"Yes, this is an odd number." Yongzheng stared at the distance, as if looking at something, "It's a pity that not everyone is grateful. Some people reward the right to play the secret book, show the box to outsiders, and show off their favor; There are some people who leaked the Zhu criticism I approved; these two kinds of people don’t give him face. There is also a class of people, like Mu Xiang’a, who sent secret documents full of flattery for Nian Gengyao. It’s disgusting to read—just now Ma Qi said that he could serve as the admiral of the Nine Schools, it’s ridiculous!” Ma Qi blushed when he scolded him, and hurriedly got up and said: “It’s a lie!” “It’s unintentional.” Yongzheng gestured for Ma Qi to sit down, "This is just a passing mention. In short, I want to talk about the things I care about. From the governors and generals to the whispers in the teahouses, anecdotes and anecdotes in the Qinlou and Chuguan, and the exchanges between scholars and bureaucrats." From then on, anyone who concerns the morals of the world and the lack of government affairs can play it boldly, just like the communication between a father and a son in a family, there is no taboo, it is the year of abundance and adversity, rain, rain, rain and drought... Just play it!"

Speaking of "flooding, sunny and drought", Yongzheng suddenly thought of Shi Yizhi, his heart twitched, and he didn't say anything, just lost his mind, and said after a while: "I'm really tired today, and I don't have energy. Liu Molin will see Zhang Tingyu tomorrow, just last year Gengyao will accompany you there. Remember, you must listen to Nian Gengyao's dispatch in everything, and you must listen to everything carefully!" Liu Molin died of Su Shunqing's death, and his heart was sad; he was embarrassed and humiliated by the permission, but he felt resentful; he was promoted because he was happy, and he felt resentful when he was promoted. Nian Gengyao was worried when dealing with him, and he was a little suspicious when he received secret rights.As if a five-flavored bottle had been overturned in his heart, he kowtowed and said, "I dare not obey the sacred teachings!" Yongzheng nodded and said, "It's late at night, let's go."

That night, Yongzheng rested in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, did not turn over the green head card to call his concubine, tossed and turned on the big kang, but couldn't sleep, took off his shoes several times and went out to look at the sky, but the sky was fine.
