Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 97
More than [-] days before running to the throne, he did not benefit Gao Shen, but only increased his mistakes. He immediately received Zhu's criticism, and the words of heaven were harsh.After reading Tian Yiguang's memorial, he was inexplicably panicked, but he could only sue himself or be trusted by his colleagues?The meritorious service is the highest, and the crime is the heaviest.Recalling the day when the former emperor was promoted, the head of the minister was specially promoted by the emperor. Compared with that time, the palace was not peaceful, and Xi Chou jumped the beam. There were many threats of domineering inside, and fear of disobedience outside. Don't, the emperor Lai is like the sky, Hong Fu, and the evening, and the day and night, he planned a strategy and the war was over.Tian must use this delusion to think that the birds are exhausted, the bows, the rabbits, the rabbits, and the dogs are killed. If it is a clear decree, even if he wants to die, he has to die, but he will die with a bad name and die with the nine clans.After finishing writing in one breath, he handed it to Sang Chengding and said, "Look."

"I think the first half of the chapter is good." Sang Chengding looked melancholy, and said slowly: "The emperor is the one who cares about people the most. The second half of the chapter has some harsh words that ordinary people don't use after listening to them, let alone the emperor?"

Nian Gengyao wanted to look back again, and only used a brush to erase the characters "The bird is dead, the bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is dead", and said: "It is because he cares about people so much that he has to write what is in his heart. You are a softie, he I look down on you even more. Be tougher, he thinks you are not fooling him." Sang Chengding thought about Shi Yizhi's example, and thought about Sun Jiagan, and felt that Nian Gengyao made sense, nodded and sighed: "Master is too difficult to serve, my heart It’s also tricky. Just now I went to the camp to have a look, but the officers didn’t recognize it. I asked, and they said that they were Ru Fu’s soldiers, and they spent the winter here, and they couldn’t talk about anything else.”

Ru Fu is Prince Lian Yun's disciple and Yun's confidant, and under such a situation, he will definitely not make things difficult for him, Nian Gengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

After another three days of walking from the Honggu Temple, Nian Gengyao finally returned to Xining, where the general was traveling.To his surprise, the surname of Xingyuan here is no longer "Nian".Yue Zhongqi led more than 100 officers, big and small, out of the east gate of the city to meet the official hall. He thought that Yue Zhongqi had come all the way to meet the wind.But none of the officers who brought him recognized him, even the familiar faces like Ru Fu, Ma Xun, Wei Zhiyue, Wang Yunji and Song Kejin were gone.Looking at those junior officers, only half of them are familiar, and many new faces have been added inexplicably.Nian Gengyao looked unhappy, and was accompanied by Yue Zhongqi as he took his seat, and said with a sneer, "Forgive me, I have seen the emperor's will when I come to Dongmei. It's really a wall that everyone pushes, Nianyi is unlucky, and he will hit his heels if he farts!" Nine Don't tell me, with his status and situation, where have all these bastards under my hands gone?"

"Sit down and talk slowly." Yue Zhongqi was a head shorter than Nian Gengyao, but he was full of vigor, he poured wine for Nian Gengyao with a smile, and said, "Brother Liang had a decree shortly after he left, calling Zhong Qi came to act on behalf of the office. My brother came here as Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and everything was done according to the general system, and he didn’t dare to change anything. If they didn’t come, they were transferred away. Brother Nian, don’t blame them—come, have a drink Gossip slowly." Nian Gengyao trembled all over, stared at Yue Zhongqi with a knife-like gaze, and said in a hoarse voice: "Drink this glass of wine slowly. The thing I don't like to hear now is 'gossip'. But I still want to Let me ask, Brother Dongmei, how can you transfer the handsome generals casually? And all the generals have been transferred cleanly? Where did you transfer them?" Yue Zhongqi's dark red face shone brightly, and he said with a smile: "You Fu was transferred to Cai Na. Wei Zhiyue went to Altai, Wang Yunji was transferred to Ikezhao League, and they were all promoted to generals. This was recommended by the general who won the victory on the western front. You are such a noble person who forgets things! Besides, think about it, I, Yue Zhongqi How can I have this right? Only Rufu’s first division was transferred to the junction of Qinghai and Ganxi. I am the master, old man, that side is next to the post road, leeward and facing the sun, so you can spend the winter! You are still your general. When I come back, I will be relieved of my responsibility. If you want to transfer back, you should say a word."

As Nian Gengyao listened, his heart felt chills. Only at this moment did he truly feel fear and loneliness. "Don't transfer a single soldier" but transferred his confidant general, and he was still in the dark!He looked at Yue Zhongqi with absent-minded eyes, and suddenly let out a burst of laughter like a bird singing at night, picked up the wine and drank it down in one gulp, and said: "Let me guess: about these three Xindu are all Did someone from Brother Dongmei’s camp come here? Or has Brother Dongmei’s camp moved to Xining? Maybe Master Jiu has been invited by you to spend the winter in northern Sichuan?”

"Liang Gong, you didn't guess one of them right." Yue Zhongqi looked at Nian Gengyao with a smile, pressed his hand on the wine glass, like an old cat holding a mouse with its paw, and said slowly: "The one who will replace Ru Fu is Ji Ha Luo, deputy general of the Huguang Navy. Wang Yunji's department is Deshou, the chief envoy of Gansu; Wei Zhiyue's department is Cao Sen, the chief envoy of Yunnan—I have not sent anyone to your camp. Master Jiu is still here, and I don't care about it. I'm not feeling well today. Maybe I won’t come—as for me, I only brought 700 people from my Chinese army to Xining, and my camp is still in the old place—come! Jihalo, Cao Sen, Deokshou, come out, respect Nice drink!"

As soon as Yue Zhongqi finished speaking, all three newcomers came out, one was as thin as a hemp stalk, with an olive head on a slender body, wearing a flowering coral crown, without even peacock feathers, it must be auspicious Hello; the two chief envoys are both short and thick, and they are still the top three.Such a person can be caught in Nian Gengyao's army with his eyes closed, and he can pack the whole bag.Nian Gengyao didn't recognize any of them, seeing the three of them saluting, he just nodded with a straight face.The three Xindutongs looked calm, they came up to toast one by one, and stepped aside in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.Jihalo had a drake voice, but he spoke loudly and emphatically: "Biaoxia is ordered by the Holy General to obey the command of the general. If the general has any orders, he will never frown in water or fire! Biaoxia himself knows that he looks ugly. Amazing, but the bid is not useless. In the 60th year of Kangxi’s suppression of the Miao village chieftain’s rebellion, he led 30 people to go deep into the Miao village, and the one who captured and beheaded more than [-] bandits was the bidder!” It is not the first time that I have been bullied by others, so I will report my resume at the beginning.Only then did Nian Gengyao know that the person in front of him was "General Ji" whom Kangxi called "a lonely hero". Looking closely at the two political envoys who looked like buckets, they also ate calmly without looking at each other. Wu Han is stingy and flattering, and it seems that he is not a kind person.Only then did Nian Gengyao restrain his contempt, and said: "Brother, how dare you judge someone by their appearance! If you are not easy to lead as a soldier, just report to me, and you have to love yourself. If you violate my military order, I will be very ruthless. Please, Borrowing flowers to present Buddha here, and have a drink with the three military sects!" Yue Zhongqi laughed beside him and said, "I will confess to you face to face. Since General Nian has returned, my camp is extremely busy, so I still have to go back to my camp. Today's wine is not only a welcome for the general, but also a farewell for me. Come, come, I offer a toast to the general, and I advise you brothers to drink!" Then he got up and toasted one by one starting from Nian Gengyao.

The atmosphere in the Jieguan hall suddenly became active, and Nian Gengyao's mood gradually improved. Since Yue Zhongqi was willing to withdraw from the west hall and the military power was in his hands, everything else could be done slowly.Nian Gengyao also got up and took turns around the table to persuade them to drink, and exchanged warm greetings with these new subordinates, until he ate the Shenweishi card, he felt drunk, said "it's convenient", and left the table. When he came out, seeing Yun dismounting from his horse, Nian Gengyao laughed and said, "Master Jiu, why did he come so sooner or later, the banquet is almost over!"

"I'm preparing for the funeral at home," Yun gritted his teeth and said, "I'm preparing for mine, and I'm preparing for yours too!"

"Master Jiu, I don't understand what you said."

"You will understand in a few days." Yun Heran sneered, "You have lost your military power. Do you know?"

"What did Master Jiu say?" Nian Gengyao shook his dizzy head and said, "I'm still a great general!"

Yun sneered again and again, and walked towards the reception hall, spat at the drunk-eyed Nian Gengyao with all his might, and said softly:
"Han Xin!"

Nian Gengyao stayed in Xining General Xingyuan for three days, and the tiger-skin chair was not even warmed up, so he received an order from Yongzheng Zhu:

Nian Gengyao, after learning about the trip to the ancient temple, he was overwhelmed with astonishment: Are you drunk, or did God take your soul because you killed too many people?I am full of Buddha's heart, and I will show you the fields, but I just want to enlighten your conscience, so I will put away my sharpness from now on, and I will be honest and loyal to the Lord.Er Nai uttered nonsense, and said to me what you should never say to your father and brother, so frantic to the extreme!You can only search for Tian Wenjing's words for these words!Kuang Er compromised the four characters "chaoqianxi", and his contempt for "sunset and chakran" is beyond words.Since you don't allow me to work day and night, the merits of Erxihai are also between permission and non-permission.I have issued an order to Yue Zhongqi, General Zhengxi will be replaced by him, it seems that you should not be a "big" character, and I will change to General Hangzhou as soon as I write it, and I will deliver the seal of the situation as soon as I see the order.Don't worry, I will definitely not be the emperor of Tibetan bow and cook dogs, but you must also complete me, and start as soon as possible and return home.There are many villains and people in your old department, and you have provoked a lot, and some strange things have happened. Although I want to preserve it, I have the law of the country!To tell to tell.See the article on March 23rd of the third year of "Yongzheng Dynasty Living Notes".The novel advances the time to when Nian Gengyao returned to the military camp from Beijing, and it seems that he should have been punished long ago.Nian Gengyao took this short Zhuyu and looked at it for half an hour, his heart was like a pot of paste spilled over, he couldn't think of anything, he couldn't think through anything.Looking at the original script sent back, it turns out that "Xi Chao Gan" was mistakenly written as "Xi Chao Qian" and "Jiu San" in the hexagram "Qian" in "Book of Changes": "A gentleman works all day long. Blame." "Work hard" means self-improvement; "vigilance" means vigilance.The general idea is that you can avoid mistakes by working hard and being careful from morning to night.Wanting to write an argument, I dug up Tian Wenjing's original book and compared it with Zhu's criticism. Yongzheng's Zhu's criticism is so hard to refute a single word!Like an old tree struck dead by lightning, he sat abruptly on the edge of the big fire, without moving for a long time, until Sang Chengding came in to feel a little bit of consciousness, and slowly put the memorial decree on the table, just said "" The yellow beams are ripe." He came out with his hands behind his back, stood on the steps and stared into the distance.

The sky was very overcast, but there was no snow. The thick clouds were pressed by the raging wind outside the Great Wall and rushed towards the southeast in groups.Nian Gengyao was like a statue made of bronze, with one hand holding the sword and the other tightly clenched.His pupils, which were as dark as ancient wells, stared at the empty shaft of the general.The tall iron flagpole whistled in the wind, making a "day" sound, and the military flag with "The Year of the General" on the flagpole seemed to be extremely cold, and it was pulled straight and shivered.The sergeants guarding the flag and the generals and soldiers guarding the door openings in the corners all stand with their chests upright and their stomachs sunken, standing in the wind like nails. Except for the sound of sand and stones hitting the doors and windows and the wind, there is a dead silence everywhere, except for the room opposite. From time to time, Yun Yun's unhurried chanting voice came from time to time:
Hunting Tianjiao outside the city of Juyan, the white grass is burning all over the sky.

When the clouds are empty and the moraine is empty, the horses are driven, and the autumn plain is good for shooting eagles.

Protecting the Qiang school and taking advantage of the barriers, the general broke through the Liao at night.

The jade target, horn bow, pearl and horse, the Han family will give Huo whoring Yao... "The Han family will give Huo whoring Yao! Huo Qubing, a famous general who fought against the Huns during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, attacked the Huns six times and opened the road to the Western Regions. He is the nephew of General Wei Shi , Both of them are equally famous. With outstanding contributions, he was promoted to General Hussars. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to build a mansion for him, but he refused: "If the Huns are not destroyed, there is no home for them. He was under 30 years old when he died of illness. Du Fu's poem: "May I ask who the general is, I'm afraid it's Huo whoring Yao." "Nian Gengyao smiled wryly and turned back to his room. Seeing that Sang Chengding was still in a daze, he said: "It's just a matter of coming early and coming late. It's no use worrying or being afraid.Although I am not as good as Huo Qubing who prostituted Yao Xiaowei, after all, the credit is still there, and it would be difficult for anyone who wants to cover the eyes and ears of the world with one hand.Don't do this, look at what this official did, I look like 70 years old, you look like an 80-year-old old man!We have done enough officials, we have earned enough money, and our reputation is not low. To put it bluntly, returning it to a Hangzhou general, even if it is relegated to the people, it is not easy. "

"I don't think it's that easy." Sang Chengding was worried, and his voice was muffled as if coming from a hollow, "The layout of the national players is pressing step by step, which is daunting! The emperor seems to want to..." Nian Gengyao lowered his voice In fact, what Sang Chengding said was exactly what he was thinking.After a while, without a word, he took out a file from the cabinet and handed it to Sang Chengding.Sang Chengding took it and opened it to see that there were 10 taels of leading silver bills inside, about seventy or eighty. Nian's great kindness's son-in-law's servant, if you tell me to die, how can I see my old man?"

Nian Gengyao sighed, and said, "That's why I did this. If it's really like what you said, not only I, but also my family will not be able to keep it. To be honest, I have been guarding against this day, so I will accept it." Among the 92 major crimes of Nian Gengyao, who took ten Mongolian women as concubines, "It is false to marry the daughter of Mongolian Baylor Qixin. "It says here that he took in ten or twenty (see page 573) Mongolian women, probably based on this exaggerated description. Two of them are pregnant. Tonight—" He paused, lowering his voice , "Take them out of this place tonight. I will send soldiers to send you to Shanxi secretly, and you will send those soldiers back. Then you leave Shanxi, don't go to relatives or friends, and find a secluded place to stay. If I pass this road safely Guankou, I will find you naturally. If my whole family is stolen, luckily there will be a boy, and you will leave a cigarette offspring for my Nian family. Good brother, do you want someone to cook us up?" , tears welled up in his eyes, and seeing that Sang Chengding was still hesitating, he said again: "If it wasn't for fear of being seen and suspicious, I would have knelt down for you by now!" Sang Chengding was holding the file like a baby in swaddling clothes, She was already in tears, and while wiping away her tears, she said, "Second Lord, my heart is about to break...don't tell me, I'll just do it..." The two of them were in a panic when a sergeant outside came to report : "General Nian, General Yue Zhongqi has arrived at the Yimen Gate, and said that he came to see him by order, and he has an order to announce!"

"Fire the cannon and open the middle door, and set up the incense table. I'll come out to welcome you!" Nian Gengyao looked at Sang Chengding with pleading eyes, and ordered lightly.
