When Yinzhen was in the palace, he was already aware of the shortcomings brought about by Kangxi's tolerant policy, especially the abolition of the rule of officials. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Therefore, as soon as he ascended the throne, he began to rectify the rule of officials. On the first day of the first month of the first year of Yongzheng, Yinzhen issued eleven precepts in a row, putting forward clear requirements for civil and military officials, and admonishing the governor that as a feudal official, it is to clarify the foundation of the rule of officials, and he should be loyal and conscientious and live up to the emperor's grace. It is the duty of the ministers to warn the governor and appease the people, and they should work together to fulfill their duties and not harm the locality. Admonishing the inspector that as a school official, he must be honest and diligent, and he must inspire the scholars to be of good character. Admonished the admiral to advocate the generals, simply appoint the soldiers, arrange the equipment, and practice the skills and bravery. The commander-in-chief was warned to think of a peaceful place, and to make peace between the civil and military forces, and to reconcile the military and the people, so that everyone could achieve peace. Admonish the chief secretary of the government, the job is a square uncle, the responsibility is heavy, and he should be loyal to the public. He warned the prosecutors that they should not only legislate harshly, but also enforce the law fairly. Admonish the Taoists, the assistant of the job and residence, each has his own responsibility, and he should experience everything himself, so as to put an end to the bad rules of personal fraud. Adjutant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and other officers should be warned that even if they are in a biased position, they should also predetermine the method of military training, personally study cavalry and archery, strictly test their skills and bravery, and clean themselves and discipline themselves. Admonishing the prefect is not only the eyes and ears of the superintendent and the superintendent, but also the example of the state and county orders, inheriting the flow at the top and the appropriateness at the bottom, and must be honest and self-controlled, avoid bribery, and perform their duties. Admonish Zhizhou and Zhixian that as an official close to the people, it is the foundation of the rule of officials, although the rank is low, the duty is very heavy, and the love of the people is the priority. These eleven edicts reflected Yinzhen's determination to rectify the rule of officials and opened the prelude to the rectification of the rule of officials in the Yongzheng Dynasty.

After the eleventh edict, the next step was to implement the lowly for good, abolish the untouchable system, and eliminate the music system.

During the Kangxi period, the existence of untouchables was very common, such as the Lefu of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the fallen people of Shaoxing, the companion of Huizhou, the servant of Ningguofu, the Shuhu of Guangdong, the beggars of Suzhou, etc. They were deprived of all kinds of rights and suffered from social discrimination, except for the four people (civilian households, military households, merchants, and stove households) who were officially registered as households. They are not allowed to set foot in the occupations of the four peoples, nor can they enjoy the regular clothes worn by the four peoples. These untouchables fought to get rid of their social status, which led to numerous cases and lawsuits. When Yinzhen was the prince, he repeatedly emphasized that the untouchables were good people, and there was nothing to dismiss them. Immediately after he succeeded to the throne, he listened to the advice of the ministers, and in April of the first year of Yongzheng, he removed the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi Jiaofangle, and in September of the first year of Yongzheng, he removed the people of Shaoxing and the beggars, and they were integrated with the good people, and they were allowed to engage in normal production and labor. This policy has been widely supported and has played a non-negligible role in the stability of the regime after Yinzhen succeeded to the throne.

This was followed by the land-related apportionment policy, that is, the Ding silver was apportioned into the acres of land and expropriated.

In this era of agriculture, land is the foundation of the peasants' livelihood and the main source of state financial taxes. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the enslavement system was based on a whip law in the Ming Dynasty, and the land had land tax silver, and Ding had Ding tax silver. Some of the tax is levied on the basis of the land, and some are levied on the basis of the d, and the levy is mainly levied on the basis of the d. In the early Qing Dynasty, there were more than 3 million taels of Ding silver levied according to Ding. This figure is not very large, but the social problems caused by the collection of silver on a ding-by-piece basis are huge. Due to the further development of land annexation and land concentration, the inequality between the rich and the poor is extremely serious, and the peasants who have no land or little land cannot afford the taxes, so there is a situation of "either fleeing or owing." This made it difficult for the Qing government to collect the Ding tax, and the guarantee was lost. At the same time, because the peasants were afraid of the persecution of the Ding tax, they either fled and migrated, or hid their household registration, which caused a serious problem of false population, making it difficult for the Qing government to grasp the actual number of the population. Faced with this situation, the Qing government decided to change the method of collecting the Ding tax. In the fifty-first year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi once stipulated that "the prosperous era breeds people and never adds money", which was originally intended to set the total amount of Ding tax collected in the whole country, and no longer increase with the increase of population. Although this has certain benefits for the landless and landless peasants, it has not solved the problem of uneven burdens on the peasants, so some localities, such as Sichuan, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and other provinces, have adopted the measure of apportioning the tax to the acres of land to collect it in a short period of time, and this has achieved the effect of "the people are in need." However, due to the opposition of the landlords and their representatives in the imperial court, this measure was not extended throughout the country. In June of the first year of Yongzheng, Huang Bingjuan, the governor of Shandong, asked for a stall on the ground, but Yinzhen did not approve it. In July, Li Weijun, the governor of Zhili, again invited the patron to enter the ground and asked Yinzhen Qiangang to arbitrarily approve the implementation. Yinzhen then ordered the household department and others to discuss. In September, the household department discussed and agreed with Li Weijun's opinion. Yinzhen was still not at ease, and ordered Jiuqing and others to discuss again, and asked Li Weijun in detail about his plans. It was not until November that Yinzhen made up his mind to implement the policy of apportioning the land to the land throughout the country, apportioning the original amount of the provincial tax on the land of each prefecture and county, and apportioning a certain amount of silver to each local tax of one tael, ranging from one or two to eight yuan.

However, after the implementation of the "apportionment of land into land" nationwide, it was immediately met with strong opposition from the landlord class, and landlords made disturbances in Zhejiang, Zhili, Shanxi, and other places. However, because Yinzhen has made up his mind not to change, therefore, this reform has been carried out to the end, for the people, although this decree has harmed the interests of the landlords, but it is undoubtedly a measure to win the hearts of the people.

However, the ills accumulated over time in the 61 years of the Kangxi Dynasty and the grievances brought by the people could not be changed and eliminated in the day and night by eleven edicts and a few benevolent policies.

In the 60th year of Kangxi's reign, Wen Shanggui, a native of Shanghang, Fujian, was dissatisfied with the brutal rule of the Qing government and was ready to organize an anti-Qing struggle. He once went to Taiwan and got acquainted with Zhu Yigui, the head of Taiwan's anti-Qing rebels, the "Duck Mother King", who was named marshal by Zhu Yigui and ordered to return to his hometown to organize the masses. After the failure of Zhu Yigui's uprising in the 60th year of Kangxi, Wen Shanggui moved to Wanzai County, Jiangxi, and extensively contacted the poor shantytowns, preparing to attack the county seat. In the first year of Yongzheng, Wen Shanggui's actions were detected by Shi Zhaoting, the magistrate of Wanzai County. When the Qing soldiers came to suppress it, Wen Shanggui led the crowd to start a desperate struggle with the Qing soldiers. Due to the hasty response to the battle, he was finally outnumbered, more than 300 people were killed in the battle, and Wen Shanggui was captured. On November 19 of the same year, Yinzhen ordered the three law divisions to approve and severely punish them. Soon after, Wen Shanggui was executed. After Wen Shanggui's death, his companion Qiu Yongxi and his brother Wen Tingrui continued their anti-Qing activities. They gathered at night, practiced martial arts, built weapons, and acted more covertly, which caused a great headache for the Qing court.

Shortly after the beginning of winter in the first year of Yongzheng, an incident occurred in Wanquan County, Shanxi Province, where peasants rebelled against the oppression of the government. The county magistrate Qu expropriated violently, and the vast number of peasants could not bear it, and finally gathered a few thousand people to storm the county seat to protest against Qu's tyranny. When Qu heard the news, he panicked and ordered the city gate to be closed, and the angry peasants broke through the city gate and broke into the county seat. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qu escaped over the wall with his staff and house slaves. The peasants burned the county government in one fell swoop. When Nuo Min, the governor of Shanxi, heard the news, on the one hand, he impeached Qu to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he ordered Dong Shen, the prefect of Pingyang, to capture the leader. Dong Shen mobilized 200 soldiers from the Green Battalion and Minzhuang to go to the countryside to arrest them, and in the face of the officers and soldiers, the peasants were forced to pick up swords and guns, and after a fierce battle, almost all the officers and soldiers were killed. At this time, Dong Shen had to come forward in person, came to the peasants, and he swore that he would not harm the people, and as long as he handed over three people, the matter would be over. He also personally wrote a document promising not to kill those who handed it over, so that the situation could be calmed down.

Some of these things I know, some don't know, most of the details were later let Xu Fuduo privately inquire through various relationships, and at this time, standing in front of me in the Qianqing Palace, I didn't know about it, but I felt that the waiting time was very long and difficult, but I couldn't leave casually.

chatted with Su Peisheng without a word, hoping to get some more information out of his mouth to judge what kind of attitude he should use to meet Yinzhen.

Su Peisheng has always treated me more kindly, but everything that can be said usually will not be hidden, seeing his cautious reminder attitude, plus talking about the expulsion of foreign missionaries, I also understand that Yinzhen, Tian Wenjing and Zhang Tingyu's deliberations this time will inevitably be related to many major decisions in the next two years of Yongzheng, and there must be the next disposal of Yinzhen and Yinyu's cronies in the court.

I didn't have the heart to ask about the things in the court, these complicated world events were not originally my interest in paying attention, but the various potential information faintly conveyed in these things was related to my plan to save Yinyu, so I had to arrange for Xu Fuduo to inquire carefully later.

I have been standing in the ice and snow until the beginning of the lantern, the door of the Qianqing Palace was opened, Tian Wenjing and Zhang Tingyu walked out from the inside one after the other, both of them had solemn faces, it seemed that they had their own hearts, from coming out to leaving, they never looked left and right.

In order to avoid suspicion, I retreated to a position three steps behind Su Peisheng, and it was not until they left that I signaled Su Peisheng to go in and report.

After Su Peisheng went in, it was not until I thought that Yinzhen didn't plan to see me that he came out to lead me in.

This is the first time I walked into the Qianqing Palace without any modern isolation barrier, and secretly looked around, secretly wondering that this is the imperial palace on the central axis, which is completely different from the palace pattern of the harem.

Yin Zhen was sitting in front of the table at this time, there was a stack of folds on the table, he was holding a red pen and burying his head in it, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking, his face looked solemn and serious, even Su Peisheng led me to the front without looking up.

Su Peisheng quietly made a gesture, signaling not to disturb quietly, and waiting for Yinzhen to finish the matter at hand.

It was the first time I saw Yinzhen, who was sitting high in the main hall and burying his head in the case, sitting high in the hall in the empty and magnificent palace, looking noble but even more lonely.

"I've been waiting for a long time, you're tired today, why don't you send someone over to take a look?" Yinzhen finished approving a few important folds on his face, and handed the approved folds to the eunuchs around him as he spoke, and took them to the cabinet to discuss and distribute them to the ministries for supervision.

"I came here to deliver the errand and thanks, but what's the harm of waiting a little longer, if you let people come over first, it will inevitably be less sincere, and more suspicious of being pretentious, when will the emperor see me tell the truth about these things?" I smiled lightly, my pale complexion and the tiredness clearly visible between my eyebrows and eyes removed my previous perseverance and stubbornness, and my tone became softer. After saying this, he bowed down to Yinzhen, who was sitting high on the top, and bowed his head, and said according to the rules, "The errand is done, come to hand in the decree, thank the emperor for his grace", which is considered to be a formal conclusion to the matter of leaving the palace today.

"It's hard for your family to fight hard when something happens. Today's events are really ...... Alas, filial piety comes first, morally speaking, you should have been allowed to stay for one night, but you should know that the palace rules are like this, and I am also for your good, if you stay overnight, lest there be any gossip in the future. Don't worry, the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all effective and useful, and there is Hongday, and this matter will definitely be done thoughtfully and properly. Yinzhen took the teacup given by Su Peisheng and took two sips, then got up and walked in front of me, helped me up and pulled me into his arms, and patted my back gently to show relief.

I didn't refuse Yin's rare tenderness, and hugged back with my backhand, feeling the thin body under the cold bright yellow dragon robe, trying to feel the temperature coming from this body.

I don't remember the last time he hugged me so sincerely and without any purpose, and it made me suddenly go back to the days when I first entered the house.

Have you ever truly loved me? I was tempted to ask at this moment, but reason reminded me not to ask, for no matter what the truth is, the two answers, love or not, have no point in pursuing at this time.

I let go of my hand, distanced myself from Yinzhen without a trace, helped him tidy up the folds of his clothes, and then took a step back, and Fu Shen confessed: "There is no successor to the Geng family, and many trivial matters in the house need to be handled by the new head of the family. Arrange without authorization, without first asking for an order, please ask the emperor to punish. ”

Yin Zhen thought about it and helped me up again, shook his head and sighed: "Hongtian said that he is also the grandson of the Geng family, and now he is the only one who is suitable to handle the affairs of the Geng family, I will let him take over the funeral of the Geng family, and there is no difference between what you think, you are not in charge of the decision, and there is no fault, how can you ask for a crime?"

"Hongday is the prince after all, only the emperor can assign him errands, I arrange it privately and does not comply with the rules, if the emperor does not punish him, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to follow suit in the future, please don't indulge the emperor. "I insisted on asking for punishment, which naturally has my reasons. Now I know that my surroundings are not peaceful, and I must be meticulous and careful in doing things, and I must be extremely cautious in every step, so that people can't catch the slightest handle and truth. I am now asking for punishment for Hongday's arrangement, things are done frankly, Yinzhen is also comfortable, and if someone does this in the future, Yinzhen will only feel that the other party is provoking, but he will not blame me. On the contrary, if it looks like a trivial matter, with Yinzhen's suspicious nature, I am afraid that it is very likely that others will instigate pride or have no evidence of guilt.

"Well, what you said is not completely unreasonable, then punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, and at the same time punish you for copying the "Mantra of the Dead" thirty times, and wait for a month later, it will be almost the Spring Festival, and then the "Mantra of the Dead" will be burned to the heavens in the palace, so as to rest the spirit of the heavens, and pray that they can bless the world under my rule with good weather and peace for the people. Yin Zhen pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she said the content of the punishment.

I don't understand that this is a punishment, but it is better to deliberately let me meditate for the month to pray for my parents, and then follow the name of the Spring Festival and burn this blessing to the heavens. I received this kindness, and after thanking the kindness, he said, "It's not early, and I won't disturb the emperor to continue to deal with court affairs, so I sent some porridge, and if I am hungry, I will let Gonggong Su bring some up." The emperor's body is noble, don't treat yourself harshly."

Yin Zhen nodded, said "rest assured" and allowed me to return to Jingren Palace to rest, and he returned to the table and began to correct the folded book.
