"Eight iron hat kings, worthy of enjoying the Taimiao!"

Wu Xiang went one step further and brought out all the other six Iron Hat Kings, and the palace suddenly echoed, and a wave of heat erupted.

"Good, good...... Wu Aiqing discussed it well, and I thought it was ......"

Hongli was on the dragon chair step by step, and what Wu Xiang said was that he and Ru Xi had already agreed, and he and Prince Yun Yu also passed the conclusion.

"Prince Yi is also established by the imperial examination, and he should not be inferior to other iron hat kings, so it is better to enjoy the Taimiao together."

As soon as the words fell, a person knelt on the ground, his head pounding, it was the current Prince Yi Hongxiao, "How can a slave bear such a great favor?" If the emperor gives the slave to death at this time, the slave will also be overjoyed......"

I don't know if he was too happy or too scared, Hongxiao was a little gibberish.

"My Qing Dynasty is the unity of the Manchus and the Hans, and the Manchus are not united, how can the Han people be united?"

There are also Zhang Tingyu, Jiang Tingxi and other Han ministers in the palace, Hongli's words are very euphemistic, and Han Chen is silent, looking at Wu Xiang's eyes is complicated and abnormal.

This is a Han person, the Han man who carried the full flag, and he came forward to push the righteousness of the Qing Dynasty to re-establish the Manchu lord Han slave, I don't know whether to warn the Han people, or ridicule the Han people, in short, this taste is very weird......

No matter what Han Chen thought, the clan and the Manchu ministers had already knelt down together, forcing Han Chen to kneel down and chant our emperor Shengming together.

Hongli then took out a book, a book that had been scattered in the countryside of the Qing Dynasty and everyone who read it, "The Mystery of Dayi Jue".

"The imperial examination takes the Manchu and Han families as its ambition, and hopes that my Qing Dynasty can protect the Chinese Taoist system and keep the world normal. But in this world, villains are rampant, traitors are wanton, and they actually bend the emperor's original intentions, slander the Manchu people who dominate the world with the theory of the Manchu and Han families, and use the clan to discuss politics and oppress the Han people. It's confusing. ”

"I can't bear to be so slandered and smeared by the emperor's kindness, I have made up my mind, and I will confiscate the "Mystery of the Great Righteous Jue", as well as all the books related to Zeng Jing's case, but I have a private collection, and I will not slack off!"

It is different from Yongzheng earlier and then Guangxu ascended. Hongli relied on the strong reinforcement of the three parties to get his position, so he did not have much sense of crisis in the dragon chair, and he was always graceful and gentle. In the first half of the year, he was immersed in the palace and didn't take much care of politics. So that the courtiers of the first hall did not feel the imperial spirit of this young emperor too much.

And now, this deep proclamation finally made everyone feel that the person sitting on the dragon chair no longer seemed to be a puppet, at least not completely.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

It was different from the reaction when he rehabilitated Dolgon Duo just now, but at this time, it was Zhang Tingyu and the other Hanchen who sincerely bowed and chanted, and they had waited too long for this day.

No matter what the righteousness of the Qing Dynasty is, the righteousness should be the emperor and the final conclusion of the court, which is not something that the small people in the countryside can mix. From ancient times to the present day. No one is like Yongzheng, who seriously argues with the subjects of the world about righteousness, so as to clearly show the operation of the court and the court to the world.

Just because Yongzheng engaged in some "righteous confusion", which made the hearts of a country fall apart, and the Qing Dynasty has become a nephew of the Southern Barbarians today, even if Yongzheng is not the culprit, he is also the one who fuels the troubles.

"Please punish Zeng Jing. Thank you! ”

Zhang Tingyu shouted even higher, he hadn't forgotten that behind Yongzheng, there was a culprit.

After Zeng Jing's case was started back then, whether it was the court or the people, all those who had sages in their hearts and adhered to science insisted that Zeng Jing should die. But Yongzheng in order to promote the righteousness of his Manchu family, he forcibly left the life of Zeng Jing's apprentice Zhang Xi. also begged the government and the opposition for their lives on behalf of the two, saying that they were just bewitched by the Southern Barbarians, and under his teaching, they had reformed themselves and understood the righteousness of the monarch and the minister.

Now Emperor Qianlong has readjusted the righteousness of the Qing Dynasty, which is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister on the leather surface, and the Manchurian Han slave inside. The Manchu and Han families used to paste the wall and return to the trajectory of the Kangxi era. It doesn't matter if the Manchus and Hans are different, as long as they keep the skin of the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers. …,

And to distinguish the righteousness of the Manchu lord and the Han slave from the righteousness of the Manchu family, the severe treatment of Zeng Jing is a strong signal. This can make the government and the opposition of a country know that the number of roads today is different from Yongzheng, the Han people are still Han people, and the Manchu people are still Manchu.

Hongli nodded and said, "Quasi-......"

In a private house in Baoding Mansion, an old man was writing hard, and a group of soldiers in uniform rushed in, and the leader was a four-grade civil official.

The civil official said quietly: "Zeng Jing, the emperor summoned you to the capital......"

Zeng Jing pleaded: "Lord Prefect, can you let the villain finish copying this time?" The writings of the first emperor, Zeng Jing has copied them three hundred and thirty-two times, and after this time, he may be able to understand the great road of the first emperor......"

The prefect couldn't help it anymore, and said disdainfully: "The great righteousness is mysterious? It's useless if you copy it 10,000 times! Do you think that you are summoned today to play the righteousness of the Manchu and Han families? Wrong, I'm going to punish you today to thank the world! ”

He spat out: "The Manchu family...... Bah! It's a dream! Zeng Jing, it's time for you to wake up! ”

Zeng Jing was so shocked that it took a long time before he stammered: "First, the first emperor personally forgave my sins!" ”

The prefect laughed: "The first emperor exempted you from capital crimes, it was the benevolence of the first emperor, and now I will punish you, and I can't bear to let the benevolence of the first emperor be polluted!" ”

Zeng Jing's eyes rolled several times, but he didn't understand the truth of this statement. Emperor Qianlong, overturning his father's conclusion, wants to kill the pardoned, or respects his father?

Seeing that he still looked like he was about to argue, the prefect frowned and said, "The thunder, rain and dew are all imperial graces, do you still need to explain to the recipient?" ”

Zeng Jing lost all his strength, collapsed on the ground, and said in pain: "Killing Zeng Jing is a trivial matter, but what is it after the righteousness of this monarch and minister?" Without the Manchu and Han families, how can there be righteousness among the monarchs and ministers? ”

The prefect raised his head and repeated: "Does this need to be explained to the people?" ”

In Qingzhou Mansion, Shandong, General Ning Yuan walked in the back hall, Zuo Weisheng put down the newspaper and sighed in a low voice: "After all, he is a smart person, and he already knows that righteousness is never discussed, and there is no need to explain it to the government and the opposition." ”

Nian Qianyao had gray temples and wrinkled foreheads, and he sneered: "It's not that I'm smart, but that there's a smart person behind I'm here." What's more, the Qing Dynasty only has the heart of self-preservation and has no ambition to forge ahead, of course, there is no need to explain. ”

Zuo Weisheng frowned and said, "My lord is talking about Concubine Chun?" I don't think that woman has that kind of vision, she just looks at power. Now that we have rebuilt the spirit of the people, it is time to work with Concubine Chun to clean up our Shandong. ”

Nian Qianyao nodded: "That's right, I just received news from Beijing, Concubine Chun pushed the household department to negotiate with the south, and wanted to open Haizhou, Xuzhou, Tianjin, Yingzhou, Runing, Nanyang and Xi'an and other places as commercial ports, and also set up a customs yamen, which was directly controlled by the household department." And that's not all. The imperial merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have also been moving their interests recently, and it seems that they are now regulating the interests of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and what kind of general meeting of imperial merchants should be built. ”

Zuo Weisheng smiled: "Handan toddler, Dong Shi ...... to follow"

Nian Qianyao waved his hand: "With the Qing Dynasty, since it is like this, it can be with the Manchurians, and with Jinshang and Concubine Chun and others, the meaning is different." And for us. Oppression is heavier than military affairs. ”

Then he said disdainfully: "Of course, one of the Qing Dynasty's warlike armies is in the west, and the other is in our Shandong. Imagami and Concubine Chun's gang have no oppression on us in military affairs. ”

Zuo Weisheng also figured it out: "Xuzhou and Haizhou are okay to say, it is nothing more than to apportion Guan Yin to us, but Tianjin can be opened as a commercial port, and Rong Yinghua will go straight to the Bohai Sea, even if we hold the thief and respect ourselves, it will be difficult to keep the route to North Korea for long." ”

Nian Qianyao's face twitched: "On the North Korean side, the action has to speed up!" ”

In the port of Naha in the Ryukyus, Bai Yanding, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Fleet, spread his hands to Feng Jingyao, the Privy Council Defense Division, who came to complain: "Old Feng." It's not that we deliberately shirk it, but we really don't have any money. ”…,

As soon as he cried out, Feng Jingyao couldn't resist it, "How much budget to do as much as you want, we are just small people, just like chess pieces, chess players are staring at us." will make up their minds to move, and if they want to move, they will naturally increase their budget. If we don't add it, if we want one person to do the work of three people, it's no problem, but if we want one boat to do the work of three boats, the gods can't do it. ”

"Before that, the Beiyang Fleet had four cruisers, more than twenty frigates. More than a dozen multi-purpose ships. But now there are only two cruisers left, and less than a third of the frigates, and as for the multi-purpose ships, there are only five left! As for the section from Satsuma to Ryukyu, I was a little overwhelmed. ”

"Where did the ship go? For immigrants from the South Seas, they have to send ships to patrol and escort them. Meng Songhai led the ocean fleet, scattered to survey, and also needed a lot of ships. His Majesty is ready to gain a foothold in Tianzhu, and the Western fleet in Huhan Mountain will also be strengthened. Our Beiyang Fleet has nothing to do, so of course it can only be downsized again and again. ”

"The most distressing thing is Boss Xiao, the navy's budget has been cut by one-fifth, and he can't wait to dismantle all six battleships to build frigates, so as to cover hundreds of sea routes in the South and Western Oceans."

Feng Jingyao was still working hard: "Just send out a few warships, and it would be good if you could escort a battalion of Fubo Army ashore, and you can make up this year's exercise expenses if you transfer this year's expenses." ”

Bai Yanding's head shook like a drum: "Why don't you persuade Su Zhizheng to let the Privy Council make up some special expenses?" This is your defense division's business. Besides, although North Korea is weak, it still relies on the Manchu Qing Dynasty behind it, and Nian Qianyao buried the thread early, which is not as easy as Japan. Boss Xiao would never allow such a risky move. ”

He looked to the northeast, and then said: "That year, Tang Yao was indeed very skillful, secretly supporting the pirates in Shandong to block the sea route, and he built a sailor to fight with the pirates. Your Majesty nodded, only then can there be a budget, and with a budget, you want a ship and a ship, and you want people to ......"

Feng Jingyao said: "You are still a vice admiral, and now your mouth is full of shopkeeper tone, which is really vulgar!" ”

Bai Yanding shrugged: "Boss Xiao is more than a big shopkeeper, and His Majesty is the chief shopkeeper of a country. ”

Feng Jingyao sighed: "But if we don't take action, North Korea will become Nian Qianyao's private land, and it will be more expensive to clean it up at that time." ”

Bai Yanding also sighed, why didn't he want to get involved in North Korea, which was the territory of his Beiyang Fleet. It is a pity that now the focus of a country is in the south of the Yangtze River, in the northwest, and in the South Seas.

He repeatedly asked Xiao Sheng to discuss Korean affairs with the emperor, Xiao Sheng was worried that the overall naval budget had been cut, and if he engaged in North Korea again, it would weaken the investment in the South China Sea cruise, and he forced down the request of the North Ocean Fleet.

Feng Jingyao and Fan Sihai and a group of people have their eyes on North Korea, relying on the self-owned funds of the Sai Defense Department to bury some lines in North Korea, which is not enough to disturb the general trend of North Korea. I had also approached Su Wencai before, asking the Privy Council to seriously discuss the Korean issue with the emperor and strive for some funds.

The Privy Council is busy disarming, downsizing, and dispatching the Western Regions to march into the army, and the buttocks are all smoking, and the emperor is also cutting the budget with a knife, how dare he do more, and also suppress the request of the Cypriot Defense Division.

The two poor people, hugging each other, still can't get things done, so they can only sigh bitterly.

While the wind was blowing at the dock of the military port, a sea carp warship entered the port, and not long after, a clerk from the Navy Department of the General Headquarters appeared in front of them.

"Your Majesty's Commander-in-Chief has ordered the Beiyang Fleet and the Privy Council to investigate the situation in North Korea and curb Nian Qianyao's hand in North Korea, for which the Commander-in-Chief has allocated ......"

The Wen Office handed over the top-secret military order, and the two were pleasantly surprised, almost hugging each other and shouting Our Emperor Shengming, sure enough, where does His Majesty pay attention, they can have enough resources to move.

"300,000 taels of special expenses?"

Seeing the transfer fee on the military order again, the two of them froze, 300,000 taels, what can they do? The Beiyang Fleet would go out for three months with ships and troops, and the wartime allowance would be more than 100,000 taels, not including ammunition supplies.

"300,000 taels, and 200,000 is the commission of our Divine Power Bureau."

Another person said this, which made the two of them even more black-lined, the Divine Power Bureau?

"Of course, with our Divine Power Bureau, this trip is guaranteed to be a big business."

The man was less than thirty years old, but his face was calm, and his eyes shone like the beads of an abacus.

Liu Judong ...... Why did you go out yourself? ”

Bai Yanding and Feng Jingyao lost their voices at the same time, and the person who came was Liu Dan, the helmsman of the Divine Power Bureau.

Liu Dan said with a smile: "Like you, the Shentong Bureau also feels that North Korea has great business opportunities and has a lot to do. ”

Bai Feng and the others looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Your Majesty has done this as a business again?" ”

Liu Dan asked rhetorically: "Is there something wrong?" ”
