Ancient Country iQue (5)

"Guest officer, please." Xiao Er warmly welcomed people in and greeted, "What do you want to drink?"

Zhang Bao smiled, "Pick up a good one and soak it in a pot." ”

Xiao Er went to make tea, but Zhang Bao's eyes turned around the store, and then he walked directly to the inside of the curtain.

As soon as I entered, I saw Lang Kuo's courtyard, and Xiao Er was talking to someone.

As soon as Xiao Er saw this person come in without permission, he was immediately anxious, his palm flipped backwards, and the sharp weapon in his sleeve slipped out in an instant. Dehai stopped him, looked at Zhang Bao, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for him to talk about it if he had something to say.

waited for the people to enter, and Xiao Er continued to go to the front to entertain guests.

In the study room at the back, the two sat down separately. If you can find it, there is nothing to hide.

No matter how secretive Dehai did back then, it was indispensable to meet his master. Even if the attendants hadn't seen his face clearly, they knew of his existence. That's why he has always been in contact with Su Peisheng.

Zhang Bao is this person, he knows the other party in detail.

But even if the other party doesn't know him, he vaguely knows that there is such a person as him. From the Yongwang Mansion to the Yongzheng Dynasty, for decades, as smart people, it is impossible for them not to find any clues. But since they know that after the new emperor ascended the throne, no one informed him of his existence, at least it shows that these people still have some loyalty in their hearts. Therefore, when someone came to him, he didn't need to hide, and he couldn't hide.

Zhang Bao also chuckled: "Originally, I still wanted to sell my strength to His Majesty today." "Otherwise, I wouldn't have run such a high-profile shop.

A lot of what was sold was tribute.

Dehai shook his head: "During the Yongzheng Dynasty, the tribute was bought and sold outside, and there were many people who were unlucky. But in the Qianlong Dynasty, there are many people who use better outside than in the palace, and my small shop is not surprising. ”

Zhang Bao smiled, "Yes! If it is like the master today, it is the master who left suddenly, and there is nothing left, sooner or later he should find this place. It's a pity...... It's a pity for your heart. ”

Dehai had no words, in order to maintain the style of this shop, over the years, he had not fed the people in the Internal Affairs Office with a lot of silver. It also makes it a normal thing for many people to have tribute tea here.

He didn't know what he was waiting for, but as long as the store was open, the brothers scattered outside would always have a place to rely on for help. Otherwise, after a long time, they don't know what they do.

As for the support until now, there is always its own way.

He belongs to the sticky rod, but belongs to the more secretive part of the sticky rod. The master called it the inner place. They are responsible for the most secret things, and they are also responsible for monitoring the inside of the sticky rod. Therefore, inside the sticky rod, there is naturally its own person. And these people, when they don't have to monitor the inside of the sticky rod, they don't all lose contact with him. At the very least, many of them were nurtured and sent in. Among them are their own sons and apprentices.

Today's saint has always been loose, and he is still generous to the current Shangyu reserve. And it just so happens that his righteous son and apprentice are now mixed up. One stubble after another, wrapping the expenses of their own side in the spare place of Shangyu, there is no problem at all. After all, Your Majesty, you should be lenient.

As long as you don't make mistakes and are faithful enough, greed for money is not a big mistake.

Later, seeing that the current Banzai Lord really didn't know the existence of himself and others, he was also disheartened. If it weren't for the old brother to take care of, he would have found a quiet place to stay. Why stay here?

Over the years, I have not been able to have face-to-face contact with my own apprentice and righteous son, and I have been like a thief when I see him twice a year. Speaking of Shangyu, the reserve office is also subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it belongs to the hot department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The official position is not big, but everyone vaguely knows what these people do, so how can they think that such a trivial matter as silver money is blushing and thick-necked when they mess with this kind of person. This group of people belongs to the offended, and you are afraid that he will give you a small report behind his back, right?

Therefore, there is no problem at all with the operation of my own side, and it is even very loose.

It doesn't cost money, that's because you don't want to be high-profile, and you can't be high-profile. Otherwise, it is not easy to get some tribute tea just by relying on the relationship between the apprentice and the righteous son, so why send people to beg others with a shy face.

This time, Zhang Bao said that he was not a heart, and he was not willing to live in his early years, but who asked the master to leave so suddenly, no one expected it.

As soon as this man came in, he knew that he must have talked a lot with the prince and that there was some news in the palace. This is also the reason why he has been anxious for the past two days. He didn't want to believe that it was the master, but he couldn't understand the other party's actions. Say he's a thief, but is there a thief who forced himself to the muzzle of the court?

No! Knowing that the eldest brother is sick, he doesn't want to think about anything else, he just wants to save people. He didn't see the means to save people, but the news from the mouth of the imperial doctor could come out soon, and their evaluation of it was 'superb'.

Where did such medical skills come from? The imperial doctor can't represent the top medical skills of the Qing Dynasty, and that's about the same. It's not surprising that there is a powerful doctor among the people, but it's strange that he looks exactly like the deceased queen.

He has been pulling the other party towards the thief, but is there a thief who does not hesitate to expose himself to save the royal brother?

Isn't that a contradiction?

Zhang Bao in front of him was the person who followed his master back then, and this person actually stayed with his master much longer than himself. He walks in the dark most of the time, and it would be good to have the opportunity to see his master once in two or three months, but Zhang Bao has been talking about it for twenty or thirty years.

I knew that the other party must have heard something to find it, otherwise, there has been no news for the past fifteen years, why are you running here at this time?

He didn't want to talk about it, he didn't know where to start, so he said, "We also have some friendship...... When you leave the palace today, is there anything that you don't want to come forward, do you want to ask the old brothers to help you cook? ”

Zhang Bao took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, "This is 10,000 taels." I have to bother my brothers to help me with something. ”

Dehai's eyelids jumped slightly, "I'm afraid it won't happen." The brothers haven't touched a knife for years. ”

"Don't kill!" Zhang Bao said, "It's a little thing, this silver is the money for inviting the brothers to drink." You know, the queen mother who is following now has a lot of people to stammer. Following out of the palace is fat, and the people below are very willing to see the Queen Mother. I don't go out of the palace very much, and keeping this thing is just a piece of waste paper......"

Dehai didn't care about the 10,000 taels, but wanted to send this person away as soon as possible, so he said, "You say, I'll listen." ”

Zhang Bao looked at him: "I want to ask you for two things." First, check for me, what have you been busy with with the prince in the past few days. Second, when the master died, who were still alive with the old people who participated. Can you please go to the capital to find a place to settle for the time being? There are some things I want to ask. As soon as he said this, his eyes inevitably became a little dark.

Dehai's heart couldn't help beating faster, thinking that he was here to ask about something similar to the master and Niangniang, but it turned out that it was not. Listening to that, it is necessary to investigate the death of the master. What is this suspicion?

He didn't ask much, and he didn't know how to ask. But he still nodded, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.

Since he agreed, Zhang Bao didn't want to stay long, so he got up and left.

Dehai didn't send it, and it wasn't until Zhang Bao left that Dehai instructed Xiao'er, "Let people keep an eye on him." ”

What did this person want to do when he left the palace?

He was actually confused by this point. But what was even more confused was that the person who was staring came back and said that this person went to look for Su Peisheng's apprentices, although he didn't find it. But it's not a problem to keep asking like this.

"......" Dehai's heart was mixed up by Zhang Bao, what did Zhang Bao know in the palace, and what did it mean to come out to check these?

He went to the courtyard at night and asked the gatekeeper, and the exact answer he got was that the mysterious duo did not leave the courtyard, and did not even have the slightest intention of going out.

It's so calm.

He walked to the door of the study, and could faintly hear the voices inside, and he wanted to go over and listen to a few words. But he didn't want to get closer, Qian Sheng stood up straight by the door and said loudly: "Master, Mr. De is here." ”

Dehai looked at Qian Sheng: "......" used to be called Grandpa De and Uncle De, but now he has become Mr. De. That's the person in it? Do you remember who brought you here?

Qian Sheng smiled, neither humble nor arrogant, Dehai actually saw a little bit of Su Peisheng's shadow from this kid. A typical smiling tiger.

Dehai really has the illusion of wanting to see his master.

Qian Shengxin said, I've listened to the corner of the wall for a day, I don't know what the master inside is talking about. Commenting on the ministers of the DPRK and China, it was all the taste of the year. What is there about him not to believe?

The fourth master lives here, but it's actually not boring. All kinds of supplies are good, and looking at the fifteen-year process up close, there are actually a lot of feelings.

It just so happened that Dehai came, and his interest was just right, so he called in to talk.

When Dehai entered, he was actually unfamiliar with the scene in front of him. The 'master Niangniang' had a smile on her face, with an abacus in her hand, not knowing what she was counting. And his own 'master' leaned on the couch casually, and when he saw him come in, he pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down." ”

Just didn't want to salute this person, Dehai sat down directly.

This 'master' didn't mean to be surprised, but Dehai's heart suddenly beat faster. If the person is fake, the more they will care about these small details. But if it's true, why care? Moreover, the master and the man said that it was extremely important to follow the rules. But it depends on whom. For those close to him, in fact, the degree of tolerance is extremely high.

When he sat down, he looked up and saw that the smile on the faces of the couple was still there.

Dehai coughed lightly: "Master, the slave has something to report it." ”

Well!

The fourth master looked at him: "Say." ”

Dehai told Zhang Bao about it, and looked at the face of the fourth master while talking. Zhang Bao and Chen Fu gave Concubine Xi back then, and it was already the thirteenth year of Yongzheng. At that time, the Manchu Dynasty actually knew that there was no one else to succeed to the throne except the fourth elder brother. Therefore, to reward Concubine Xi, anyone who looks at it will feel that this is an honor. But in fact, sitting on the throne, especially when the first emperor didn't know that he would live forever, this act of giving people is actually surveillance.

Zhang Bao and Chen Fu were extremely low-key in the palace, and they were not in the eyes of anyone because they were the old people of the first emperor of the day. Over the years, it has been especially trusted by the Queen Mother. Listening to the meaning of Yizi, whether it is the queen mother or the current long-lived lord, they don't know that these two people are actually on a mission. At least not for now.

Over the years, these two people have been so low-key that people have almost forgotten where they came from, so it is even more impossible for the outside to know what is going on with these two people.

Come to think of it, if the person in front of him is fake, as soon as he says Zhang Bao at this moment, even if the other party knows him, it is only a generality.

But who knew that as soon as his words fell, the fourth master waved his hand: "Those things that Niu Colu and Hongli are in the palace, there is no need to specifically ask Chen Fu to report them again." The mother and son never knew how to converge, where were the secrets in the palace, and who couldn't tell a few court anecdotes in the teahouses on the streets and alleys? ”

It's very uninterested.

Dehai was stunned, he only mentioned Zhang Bao, but never said Chen Fu. But this person said Chen Fu in one mouth, but he didn't say Zhang Bao.

That's right! There's a subordinate problem here. Back then, Chen Fu was more favored by the master than Zhang Bao. The will given to Zhang Bao was also passed down by Chen Fu. But now they only know that Zhang Bao is better than Chen Fuming's scenery, and they don't know who was the master and who was the second.

Such a thing, when everyone knew who the invisible prince was, how could it be possible for others to know? This is going to ruin the royal father-son relationship. So, it's very secretive. Except for Chen Fu and Zhang Bao, he is the only one who knows.

Therefore, Dehai was really frightened, and he almost couldn't hold the tea handed over by the 'master Niangniang' over there.

The fourth master knew it in his heart, but he didn't dwell on this matter, but asked some old ministers.

This feeling of being right in the prelude made Dehai feel a little strange in his heart. But there is someone who can talk about the past fifteen years, and he is still happy. But this is fifteen years, where to start?

Dehai skipped the events of the death of his master, and started from Qianlong's ascension to the throne, "...... It was too sudden, and now I was young and in a hurry. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, the sudden death of the new monarch must have been hasty, and at that time, Hongli was only twenty-five years old. In modern times, it is a child who has just graduated from college. In fact, the situation of Hongli is like that. He wants to have experience or no experience, he wants to have no power, and he is afraid that he will be suspicious, so he can be careful. Therefore, it is normal to be in a hurry.

Dehai continued: "Fortunately, there are Lord Ortai and Master Zhang Tingyu Zhang......

These two people are the old ministers and important ministers left by the first emperor, and Hongli can only rely on these two people.

"Today, these two people are called the pillars of the country." When Dehai said this, he looked at the expression of the 'master' above.

The 'master' was already frowning, "What about after leaning on it?" It's hard for kings and ministers to get along. ”

Dehai didn't dare to speak, because what the 'master' said was right.

Lin Yutong said: "Hongli is smart, but he is easy to show in front of others. After the hesitant new monarch got on the right track in the government, he was afraid that looking at these old ministers, the ministers of the pillar stones, was also a little eye-catching. ”

The fourth master said: "It's not one person's fault. ”

Dehai thought deeply of this: "The capital is a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and today's reliance on these two people has unnaturally formed two party ...... headed by these two people."

The fourth master closed his eyes, this matter is really a bit ironic. He hated his friends the most, but the two ministers he left behind became the leaders of the new dynasty's friends. If the 'fourth master' has knowledge, I don't know how to feel.

Dehai hid his stomach and unconsciously poured out, "The Ortai family, most of their sons and nephews are governors. Erong An was the governor of Liangjiang, Ebi was the governor of Sichuan, Ening was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Echang was the governor of Gansu, and Ele Shun was the governor of Shandong, and the family power swelled. The Zhang family is not worried, Zhang Tinglu once served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Ruoyu once served as a waiter in the Criminal Department, and Zuodu Yushi...... There are also Zhang family in-laws, Tongcheng Zhang and Yao have been married for generations, and it is said that the world is a gentleman, and Zhang and Yao's two families account for the second. ”

Lin Yutong frowned: "It's not strange that Ortai has done this, but Zhang Tingyu shouldn't be such an imprudent person." ”

She pretended to ask, but in fact, she had read all the specific situations in the history books. At that time, Hongli's approach was not wrong, and against the Ortai party, he captured the thief and captured the king first. Ortai is a flamboyant and arrogant person, and his appearance is a little ugly. Therefore, Hongli is a strict family application. Since the sixth year of Qianlong, this person has gone downhill. Later, because of Ortai's eldest son's crime, Qianlong said ruthlessly: I could use you back then, can't I handle you now?

Ortai has been a man with his tail between his legs so far, and after ten years of Qianlong, he died of illness.

Although he died of illness, he finally kept his name and enjoyed the temple after his death.

Speaking of the matter of enjoying the Taimiao, Dehai couldn't help but say: "Zhang Tingyu did a foolish thing for this. ”

The three people here are talking about Zhang Tingyu here, and Qianlong is in the palace over there, and they also think of Zhang Tingyu.

Wu Shulai said that day, he reprimanded at the time, but when he looked back, he was actually furious in his heart. So, I turned out the secret files of the day again, and I had to look at it myself.

But who dares to know about this kind of thing?

Thinking about it, there are only two people who can think of it, one Hongday, and the other Hongzhan.

Hongzhan is in his teens, and he can't afford it. It seems that there is only one Hongtian who can discuss. I didn't want to see this kid anymore, so I still sent someone to announce Hongday into the palace.

As soon as Hongtian entered the palace, he had a feeling that he had nothing to love, and his face was still gloomy when he entered the palace.

Qianlong called people in and asked people to guard outside, so he called Hongtian to see what he found, "Your guess is not completely unreasonable." ”

Hongday's heart trembled with fright, "Fourth brother, I was dizzy yesterday and talking nonsense." ”

Qianlong sat on the side, "Although there is such a thing, what does this mean?" Does it mean that your guess is correct? ”

The younger brother didn't say that.

Qianlong said: "The most direct way is to take down the two people you see smoothly." Is it a human or a ghost, isn't it clear when you see the real face? ”

Hongday's heart and liver are beating, if it's true, you can't kill it as a thief? He can't object, what can he do? He kicked out a person: "Zhang Tingyu! Why didn't you call Zhang Tingyu to ask. He is an old minister of the first emperor, the affairs of the Yongzheng Dynasty, what can be hidden from his eyes? ”

Qianlong frowned and snorted coldly: "Zhang Tingyu? He tapped the bookcase with the fan in his hand, "That's it, let's announce it." ”

At this time, Zhang Tingyu is seventy-eight years old!

Hongtian is actually quite embarrassed in his heart, this old minister, it is really not easy. It's mainly because of my own fourth brother, this temper is so cowardly that he has no friends.

Let's say that Zhang Tingyu formed a party, and he didn't run a private business. At that time, you had just ascended the throne and were in a hurry, you couldn't handle the government and politics, there was no one to ask anyone, and you didn't know anything about anything. It's not Ortai's minion and Zhang Tingyu who supported you. Of course, Ortai is inflated, and he is a Manchen. At that time, Ortai's power was so big, and Zhang Tingyu's in-laws were not all promoted by you. Of course, it is inevitable that Zhang Tingyu will definitely gather some people around him because of power, but this is the charm of power, right?

Let's take myself as an example, why do I get into trouble at every turn? As soon as I made meritorious service, I had to make some trouble, and the merits and demerits were offset by the demerits. Why? For the sake of don't reward me, I'm still absurd, so people who want to camp won't surround me. So, everyone is happy, and you don't have to be suspicious of me, just like the emperor's grandfather suspected Prince Lao Yu back then. In this way, isn't this better for brothers?

What do you mean by that? That is to say, first, Zhang Tingyu did not have the heart to form a party and seize power, and second, you also used others to balance Ortai. Do you see that after Ortai died, did Zhang Tingyu still speak while waiting in the court?

Who is Zhang Tingyu? The old ministers of the three dynasties, the sleek and old way, that is something in the bones. How did you scold Zhang Tingyu outside? said that Zhang Tingyu is just a middle-aged person, and he only knows how to make peace with the mud, even if there is something in the court, he will not say a word.

For an old minister who has been prominent in three dynasties, how big is it to deny his life?

But what about Zhang Tingyu? If you love to laugh, laugh, scold, I will be my prime minister of peace, ten thousand words, it is better to be silent.

Everyone has retreated to this virtue in the court, what does the fourth brother say? To say that people are 'self-conscious and bordering on cowardice.' ’

Thinking of these, Hongyang sighed, why do you say this mouth is so poisonous?

In the final analysis, his fourth brother just didn't like Zhang Tingyu. 'Employing people forward, not people backward' type.

Lin Yutong was also listening to Dehai talk about this, so she frowned and said to the fourth master: "The same minister, two emperors, two views on it, it's very interesting." ”

The fourth master didn't let go of his brows: "It's a matter of character." ”

Lin Yutong nodded in agreement. In his early years, the fourth master was sometimes a little naïve and willful, and it was inevitable to be impulsive and impatient. However, Zhang Tingyu is meticulous and meticulous, and his patience is excellent. The two happen to complement each other, so the monarch and the minister get along very well. Therefore, Zhang Tingyu in the eyes of the fourth master is not only talented and capable, but also noble and loyal to the master, and can be regarded as a 'pure minister'.

But Hongli and the fourth master have very different personalities. Zhang Tingyu is a shrewd person, he is introverted and cautious. And Hongli is definitely a shrewd person, but he is shrewd and high-profile. Two shrewd people bumped together, so Zhang Tingyu's caution is 'skillful' and 'slippery' in Hongli's eyes! is also a sophisticated and sophisticated person, in Hongli's view, he is afraid that Zhang Tingyu is diligent on the face, but in fact, he is scheming behind it.

The fourth master sighed: "Zhang Tingyu is eight out of seventy this year!" ”

Be!

Dehai nodded, "Yes!" I'm afraid that my luggage is all packed and ready to go back to my hometown. If it weren't for the sudden serious illness of the eldest prince, the Zhang family would have already set off. "Zhang Tingyu used to be Yonghuang's teacher, the student was sick and useless, and the teacher was leaving, which was too ruthless.

In fact, when Zhang Tingyu was summoned, he thought he was leaving, and the emperor called him into the palace to say a few words.

Therefore, as soon as he enters, he salutes, and all that comes out of his mouth is the words of farewell: "...... Now that the eldest brother is fine, the old minister will not stay long, and he planned to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to say goodbye to the long-lived lord......"

As soon as he said this, Hong Day's heart said, it's broken! It's a big deal! My fourth brother is not happy this time! You didn't say a word when you came in, you just said you were leaving. Why are you in such a hurry? In the eyes of his fourth brother, he doesn't want to be loyal to him!

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and he saw that this long-lived master really seemed to be stepped on by someone's tail, and he was irritable: "...... I carefully looked at the list of people who deserved to enjoy the Taimiao, including Fei Yingdong and Yidu, which of these people is not the father and has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. He Ortai is worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, and you Zhang Tingyu are even more deserving of Heng......"

Not to mention Zhang Tingyu at such an age, it is Hongday, and his face is white.

The scolding continued, "You Zhang Tingyu, when the imperial examination was alive, you were just a petty official who helped draft the decree. Fifteen years since I ascended the throne, you have accomplished nothing...... I tolerate you, but for the sake of your age, you have been involved in the court for so many years......"

Hongyang hurriedly stopped: "Long live Lord, you are angry!" That's a mean statement!

Zhang Tingyu is an old tearful, who would have thought that after a lifetime of practicing ministers' skills, he would be defeated in the end.

He was still stunned here, and something smashed over there, "Look at it, this is a person who deserves to enjoy the Taimiao, you Zhang Tingyu tell me now, what qualifications do you have to compete with these people." ”

But Zhang Tingyu is worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, which is the will of the first emperor.

At this time, Zhang Tingyu was really speechless. This almost eighty-year-old minister stretched out his hand and slapped himself again and again, saying "The old minister is stupid!" ’。

Hongtian felt guilty in his heart, how could he remember to toss him? He gave the eunuch a look, and hurriedly handed a letter to the queen mother!

A little eunuch went out quietly, but he didn't know if it was useful or not. He didn't look forward to it for a moment, if it was really Emperor Amma. But take care of the fourth brother, his problem of reversing black and white and turning over old accounts at every turn is to force his subordinates to death.

Hongday, this time is really for Zhang Tingyu's injustice. In fact, in the third year of Qianlong, Zhang Tingyu resigned.

This is a person who knows how to go in and out. When the new emperor ascends the throne and needs support, he can't go, otherwise he will blackmail the new emperor. After two or three years of conscientious assistance, the new monarch also sat firmly on the throne, everything became normal, and Zhang Tingyu resigned. At that time, he was sixty-six or seventeen, and he said that his energy was low, his eyes were dizzy, and his writing hands were trembling. Moreover, I began to be forgetful, ate less, and slept better. I resigned on the grounds of poor health, but this long-lived lord rejected it.

Zhang Tingyu assisted the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, and helped stabilize the situation when the new Qianlong monarch was first established. He felt that he could retire. And at that time, the Long Live Lord couldn't leave Zhang Tingyu, so he didn't let people go.

But when Ortai died, his fourth brother looked at the person who helped him restrain Ortai again. So, he supported the young relatives and excluded Zhang Tingyu from the cabinet. Just in time, Zhang Tingyu's eldest son died of illness, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man. Under all kinds of blows, Zhang Tingyu's spirit is not as good as before. I did put on a posture, but I just didn't want to do it. In the Yamen, whoever says anything he says is good. A subordinate official came to take leave, saying that my father was dead, and he also went back to his house to 'be good', and everyone else laughed, but he didn't seem to feel it. People said that Zhang Tingyu was unconscious, but Hongtian felt that Zhang Tingyu still wanted to leave. He felt it, and if he didn't leave, a lifetime of clearing his name would be over.

But the fourth brother of his own family just pretended not to see it, but he didn't let people go.

In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, Zhang Tingyu insisted on resigning, saying that he was in his seventies and almost eighty, and asked to return to his hometown. What did the fourth brother say, saying: "Qing received the favor of the emperors of the two dynasties, and was ordered by the emperor to take the imperial examination, and he will enjoy the Taimiao in the future, how can he return to the field from the worship of the Yuan Chen?" ”

Zhang Tingyu said that in the Song and Ming dynasties, there were ministers who were worthy of enjoying the Taimiao to beg to go home, not to mention that seventy suspension cars were the general meaning of ancient times.

That's right. Lao Tzu Zeng Yun: Contentment is not humiliating, knowing that it will not be destroyed, and the second child is retiring, which is a good thing for the country and the ministers.

But I don't know why I made my moody fourth brother unhappy again, and scolded Zhang Tingyu, which roughly means, you are almost eighty years old, you have to retire? You're going to have to go home and enjoy yourself? You give this example and that example, so why don't you learn from Zhuge Kongming? What about the scholars who have done their best to die?

This is very unreasonable! It's just that people don't die and it's not over.

He not only scolded in the palace, but also issued an edict to scold, and the scolding was known to the world.

Zhang Tingyu has had a smooth ride all his life, but he has always had such a result. I can't go, the center is crowded out, so many people look at the emperor's face and act, and they participate in the performance at every turn. You can imagine how sad his life was.

Later, he caught up with the queen and died. The emperor's temper has been even worse since that time. Zhang Tingyu is also absolutely amazing, when he plays the right thing again, he turns things upside down, looking stupid, and his fourth brother is finally gracious and agrees to ask him to beg for a rest. As a result, Zhang Tingyu came and did a foolish thing, that is, he asked his fourth brother to say that if the minister left, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the capital. When the old minister dies in the future, the matter of enjoying the Taimiao will be approved, which is the grace given by the emperor to the minister.

Then it was broken, and he made his fourth brother anxious again! Oh! You give me Emperor Ama as a loyal minister, and during the Kangxi period, you were the invisible Four Masters. When you arrive in the Yongzheng Dynasty, you and my emperor Ama are monarchs and ministers! How? I have become the emperor, you ask for your resignation today, tomorrow's resignation, you don't want to do it for me. Be! You are a loyal servant, but you are not my loyal servant. My emperor Ama said that you can enjoy the temple after death, that is the holy decree of the imperial examination, and I dare not disobey it. But Zhang Tingyu, you have to know a little, even if I promise you now, but don't forget that Wei Zheng's tombstone was still smashed by Tang Taizong.

The implication is that I don't want to let you enter the temple, but I will obey the order. But will you be free when you go in? It can really call you in, and it can also call you out. At that time you were all old, and now you ask for assurance about the things that are behind you, and do you ask for them?

I don't know how many ugly things I said, saying that Ortai still has the credit for pacifying the rebellion in the southwest, you Zhang Tingyu, be cautious and self-willing, only dare to pass on the work of writing edicts, you really dare to want to enjoy the affairs of the Taimiao, you don't think about it!

After scolding, he pretended to be a good person again, saying that although he was not worthy of Taimiao, this was an old minister after all, so give him the title of earl.

It is said that it will be over, who knows that he owes it today, so he called Zhang Tingyu to come. Get! Without saying a word, this began to scold the old accounts again.

Hongtian sometimes thinks that his fourth brother doesn't like Zhang Tingyu, mainly because Zhang Tingyu has a lot of similarities with his own emperor Ama. For example, he is cautious and forbearing, but he is mellow in his bones. The result of being too similar is that his fourth brother's attitude towards Zhang Tingyu is more like a vent. vent his dissatisfaction with his own emperor Amma.

Today just mentioned the old matter of Huang Ama, which gave him a chance to break out. He lost his temper so much, it seemed to be reasonable.

Over there, seventy-eight-year-old Zhang Tingyu burst into tears and slapped himself. Outside, I haven't seen anyone in the Queen Mother's palace.

What's going to happen now?

Qianlong Wuzi chattered endlessly, and pulled Zhang Tingyu to approve the things he had done over the years, as if none of them were done well.

didn't know that Dehai's apprentice had quietly sent the news out.

Dehai was telling the fourth master and Lin Yutong what Zhang Tingyu had happened to him over the years, and the secret letter was sent, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly handed it to the fourth master: "'Master', look." ”

The fourth master glanced at it and closed his eyes.

Lin Yutong noticed that the fourth master's hand was trembling a little as he grabbed the handrail. He's angry for that fourth master! This son is a stranger, but an old minister like Zhang Tingyu is familiar and emotional.

Don't care whether Zhang Tingyu is a person who is proficient in courtiers, just look at his conscientious work for the Qing Dynasty over the years, and he shouldn't suffer this treatment.

Moreover, he is the person who is named to enjoy the temple.

Is this a negation of Zhang Tingyu? No! This is a denial of the fourth master's ability to see and recognize people!

The fourth master got up and looked at Tongtong: "Grind!" ”

Lin Yutong raised his hand to grind, and the fourth master almost wrote a word with trembling hands, and then handed it to Dehai, "Send it to the palace!" To that rebel! ”

Dehai trembled all over, he lowered his head and slowly withdrew.

This side is stalemate, I don't know what to do, and suddenly someone from Shangyu is here, and there is an urgent matter to see.

Only then did Qianlong stop talking, took a sip of tea, and called people in.

The person at Shangyu lowered his head and held two things in his hands, "Someone is holding this token outside the gate of the palace......"

Hongyu took it at once, and it was the token of the Imperial Palace. He was now sensitive to the token, and his heart jumped suddenly, and then he grabbed the envelope eagerly.

No one stopped him, and it was a necessary drug test procedure.

As a result, the envelope was opened, and inside was a piece of paper, with only the word 'loyalty' on the paper, and the ink was still new.

But this one word made Hongtian's whole body tremble, and he shouted: "Fourth brother...... Fourth Brother...... You see......"

Qianlong had already seen it, his eyes were round at the moment, and he was shaking more than Hongday, stretching out his hand to touch the word, but he couldn't reach it.

Hongyang finally reacted, "This is for Zhang Ge Lao!" ”

Zhang Tingyu looked up at this time, and followed closely, he was stunned, and his tears were completely different from the previous tears. Then an old and sad voice resounded through the imperial study: "First Emperor - First Emperor -"
