Chapter 576: Nian Qianyao's lifeline
When the news that Long Keduo was pushed to the end and sent to Changchun Garden to guard the garden reached Xi'an, Nian Qianyao didn't care.
"The emperor decided to run the Green Camp Firearms Army, and also changed the taboo of the imperial court and allowed the Green Camp Firearms Army to be stationed in Beijing, which is not only open-minded, but also necessary. The southern barbarians occupied Luzon, and more than 100,000 horses marched across the sea, and its momentum was too amazing. If the Green Battalion is not allowed to be stationed in Beijing, once the Nanban approaches the capital from Tanggu, what soldiers will be available?"
"Long Keduo took the lead in opposing it, and he also wrote the question, not only because he didn't understand soldiers, but also because he used this matter to envelop the Han people, who did the emperor do if he didn't do it?"
Nian Qianyao's interpretation of Long Keduo's suffering is more from the perspective of military and the policy of "Manchu and Han families".
Staff member Zuo Weisheng stomped his feet and said, "Lianggong, you didn't see your own danger from Long Keduo!?"
Nian Qianyao chuckled: "With this long live master, who is not in danger?" If there was no Long Keduo that night, there would be no position for this Long Live Lord today. The emperor is afraid that he has already saved his mind to clean him up. At present, Long Keduo has sent his own opportunity, so he will naturally not let it go. ”
Zuo Weisheng hurriedly said: "What about you!?" ”
has been in charge of the military and politics in the northwest for several years, Nian Qianyao's eyebrows are particularly stretched, and the taste of looking down on the world seems to be stronger than Yongzheng. He sneered, "How can you compare Long Kedo's silly man in the capital with me? Long Keduo only has private merit to the emperor, while I am young and young, not only have private merit, but also national merit to the Qing Dynasty! Without my Nian Qianyao, Shaanxi and Gansu have long been stirred up by Luobuzang Danjin, and Sichuan has long been occupied by the Southern Dynasties. ”
With such confidence, even Zuo Weisheng couldn't stand it, shook his head and said, "Concubine Nian has already gone to ......"
A trace of gloom flashed in Nian Qianyao's eyes, this incident hit him hard, family affection was not enough, he lost the special identity of Yongzheng's brother-in-law, and his relationship with Yongzheng naturally faded.
Immediately, he smiled heartily again: "I also said that I won the emperor's trust, not by personal skills, let alone by the palace." ”
Nian Qianyao is very confident, the Nian family is a nobleman, he is a genuine Jinshi, Kangxi has been deeply favored, and he was appointed governor of Sichuan at a young age. He consciously earned all the merits along the way, but he couldn't compare with Li Wei, Tian Wenjing and Ortai, who were lucky villains who had no education. Even Long Keduo is only standing correctly at a critical moment in order to enter the court.
Even when Yongzheng won the throne, Nian Qianyao was still betting on both sides, riding the wall left and right, but Yongzheng still didn't dare not use him, just because he was talented and meritorious. Zuo Weisheng's warning, he felt was really alarmist.
Nian Qianyao said proudly: "The emperor's new policy is more fierce than before, I don't know how much resistance there will be, what will happen to the court and the locality, and even the royal family of the clan." At this time, he needs me even more. Not only to borrow me to promote the New Deal, but also to stabilize the west when the New Deal is implemented, I can't do it without my young Qianyao. ”
Zuo Weisheng still said with a dead heart: "But Fang Linggao said that there is news in the palace that is not good for you, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not have other thoughts today." ”
Nian Qianyao sneered: "In the palace? What do I have to do with the people in the palace? ”
Seeing that Zuo Weisheng was still going to speak, Nian Qianyao waved his hand to stop: "That's it, the emperor summoned me back, and he also discussed the new policy, don't mess with my mind anymore." And help me keep an eye on here, especially Yue Zhongqi, that guy is a master who can drill at every turn. His uncle is still in Hunan, if he hooks up, it will ruin my way......"
Nian Qianyao's explanation, Zuo Weisheng understands it very well. Yongzheng summoned Nian Qianyao to return to Beijing to discuss matters, and asked Yue Zhongqi to sign the seal of General Fuyuan, as Nian Qianyao's staff, he had to prevent Yue Zhongqi from taking the opportunity to dig into the corner.
In addition to the military and political control of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan, Nian Qianyao also had a large amount of business dealings with Yinghua in the south. Nian Qianyao personally pressed Yue Zhongqi, that guy hooked up with his uncle in the Southern Dynasty and took away the business, which was a huge loss.
Looking at Nian Qianyao's posture of looking up at the sky, Zuo Weisheng's heart rose into a thick haze, and he muttered in a low voice: "Nian Concubine is gone after all, Lianggong, you are still so domineering, how long can you be allowed today?" ”
In Xiangyang Mansion, Hubei, in an ugly tea shop, an old man and a young man were listening attentively to a tea guest's conversation.
"God can't tolerate Emperor Yongzheng for long! At the beginning of the year, the capital thundered, all night long, Henan dragon rolled, there were thousands of dead and injured, which is the lord cursing the wicked man! "This tea guest is a middle-aged man, with a white face, pinching the orchid fingers, although he lowers his voice, his voice is also sharp, which is different from ordinary people.
"Those rumors are true! Kangxi Ye originally set the eighth prince to take over the throne, but Na Yongzheng killed his father and usurped the throne, forged the edict, and was afraid that the eighth prince would tell the truth, so he circled the eighth prince, and wanted to poison and assassinate him several times! ”…,
"Fourteenth elder brother, the general Wang was originally instructed by Kangxi to protect the eighth prince to ascend the throne, but he didn't expect Yongzheng to take advantage of the fact that the general Wang was leading the troops, and first killed Kangxi, and then instructed the doorman lackey Nian Qianyao to seize the military power of the general Wang and escort him back to the capital. The general Wang reprimanded Yongzheng in the palace, scolded him so much that he was bloody, and he was also locked up by Yongzheng, and was detained in a dilapidated room like a pig and dog, and he couldn't even see the sky. He was afraid that God would help the fourteenth elder brother to redress his grievances! "Na Yongzheng won the throne and secretly paid tribute to the Southern Dynasty in exchange for the peace of his throne, so he had fun and ignored the government." "He had better be promiscuous, and the daughters of the princes and ministers, who could see it, rushed into the palace, proclaimed adultery day and day, and sang songs night and night. The Yinghua Hall in the northwest of the Forbidden City, which was originally a place to worship the Buddha, has also been converted into a warm incense hall to support women selected from all over the world. ”
"He is very good at politics, and he has set up any sticky rods, just like the East Factory and West Factory of the Ming Dynasty, secretly spying on the movements of the ministers, but he can know about it in the palace. He also raised bloodthirsty and murderous masters of the rivers and lakes, specializing in killing ministers and scholars who did not obey him. Those masters are good at carving the iron with teeth, and they take the head of a person with a wave of their hand, which is called a blood drop......"
Hearing this, the old man and the young subconsciously touched their heads, and with this touch, the money rat butt at the bottom of the pigtail on the top of the head actually moved, and it was actually glued, and the two hurriedly buckled their hats.
These two people are Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi's apprentices from Hunan, after entering Hubei, all they heard were complaints about Yongzheng, but the middle-aged man in front of him knew so finely, but he was still the first one.
Listening vigorously and indignantly, Zeng Jing asked: "Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name, where is his home?" Although this person's voice is strange, his conversation is extraordinary, which is not what ordinary people say, and it strengthens Zeng Jing's mind. Zeng Jing wanted to ask about the history so that he could talk further, and even wanted to invite one of his colleagues."
The man laughed: "Contemptible King Xie, those who came from the capital can be regarded as victims of this tyrannical king, otherwise how could they know such details?" ”
Zeng Jing was about to speak, when the shouting and scolding of the official heard outside the shop, and the faces of the three of them changed at the same time, and they hurriedly left the shop and went their separate ways.
"The master is in trouble, although we subordinates can't do anything, but we are happy to ruin the reputation of Yongzheng among the people."
The man named Wang Xie smiled gloomily as he walked.
"I don't know where Brother Shen has reached in Changde, we can't be left behind, look at what the court in the north has been corrupted by that evil monarch."
"The teacher is right, God is also helping us. The vicious dog of Yongzheng, Nian Qianyao, returned to Beijing, and the acting general of Governor Yue was in Xi'an, so we don't have to go to Sichuan to find him. Zeng Jing was also talking to his apprentice in a low voice, and when he spoke, both of them pressed their hats tightly, annoyed that they shouldn't have shaved their braids before.
History has long been changed beyond recognition by Li Xian, but some of the contexts in the meantime are still moving forward. Although the time is not right, and the end point is also different, the events involved will reveal the same essence.
These two undercurrents are distributed in the north and south, and when the ice is about to break, the two emperors of the north and south are also standing in front of an unknown historical gate. Yongzheng in the north held high his determination and stepped into the gate of the mist, and no one behind him dared to speak out. Li Shi, on the other hand, was engulfed in quarrels from completely different directions from the left and right ends.
Since the beginning of the preparations, the East and West Courts have not had a day of peace, how to determine the qualifications, how to come to the process, how to make a resolution, and there are two sides with opposing opinions on every detail.
This matter can be done slowly, but the news from the north has put an urgent choice in front of Li Shi.
After Ru Xi reported the news that Yongzheng was going to raise a new policy, he made another suggestion, Nian Qianyao is about to enter Beijing, if Li Xi wants to take Sichuan, or even enter Shaanxi and Gansu, give her a word, she can solve Nian Qianyao, Li Xi took a breath of cool air, what does this Ru Xi mean?
Nian Qianyao held the military and political affairs of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, although he was not as specific to Yinghua as Tian Wenjing, but this person was talented, and he also had a deeper understanding of Yinghua by joining hands with Tibet. With him squatting in Shaanxi, Sichuan, it is indeed a great resistance.
If Nian Qianyao was killed by Yongzheng when he entered Beijing, and Yue Zhongqi, the acting governor of Sichuan, who was the general, had not yet touched the military and political affairs, this was indeed a big vacancy. At this time, even if you don't reach Shaanxi and Gansu, you can set Sichuan with a partial division, which is indeed a good deal.
For a moment, Li Xi was really moved, if he didn't take it for nothing, Sichuan was a separate corner, and with the existing economic pattern of Yinghua, he could still digest it.
But then a large series of worries came to his mind, earlier he did not take the line of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, that is, for the time being, he did not touch the Tibetan land and the northwest affairs, and occupied Sichuan. ..., at the same time, Yongzheng will not give up, he lost Fujian, and then he can't afford to lose Sichuan, and then it will be a big fight. Yinghua is not afraid to continue fighting, but after beating the strength that Yongzheng has accumulated in the past few years, Li Xi will not be able to grasp the situation at all. By that time, it is estimated that a full-scale northern expedition will have to be committed.
This is not a good meeting of the Northern Expedition, and it is a critical moment to reconstruct a country politically and economically.
Whether to take Sichuan or not is a question, and another question also makes Li Xi wonder, why did Ru Xi do this? Could it be that she has penetrated the roots of her own country, and wants to lead herself to Sichuan and slow down the pace of Yinghua devouring Jiangnan? That's the case, this Ru Xi is really not to be underestimated, and how to interact with her in the future is nerve-wracking.
Because of Ru Xi's suggestion, another question begs up, why is Ru Xi so confident that he can get rid of Nian Qianyao when he enters Beijing? Does she have such a big influence on Yongzheng now?
A closer look at Ruxi's letter reveals that this question is answered at the end of the letter.
"Concubine Nian died, and half of his life was broken...... Ru Xi's words were in line with Li Xi's understanding of history, in the time and space of his previous life. Concubine Nian died in May, and Nian Qianyao was ordered to cut himself in December. It's not that Yongzheng cares about Concubine Nian's face and won't clean up Nian Qianyao. It is Nian Qianyao's protective film, this layer of film is broken, and Yongzheng is not merciless when he picks him up.
But in that time and space, Yongzheng also had a process of cleaning up Nian Qianyao, at least warning Nian Qianyao, and after paving the way in the court and place. At this time, this pair of monarchs and ministers is still "affectionate", how can they suddenly turn their faces?
Ru Xi's words were not finished, and the next sentence was: "The other half of the life is in the hands of His Majesty." Li Xian paused for a moment, and then tasted the meaning and smiled lowly.
Yes, Nian Qianyao communicated with him earlier, although he did not fall into direct control, he could get enough side evidence through Chen Wance, who was once a member of the Fourteenth Staff. He really has the heart to engage Nian Qianyao, as long as he passes things on to Ru Xi, Ru Xi naturally knows how to maximize the effectiveness of these evidence, and Nian Qianyao will inevitably die at that time.
It's a pity that this Ru Xi doesn't go to the palace......
Li Xi said with emotion.
