Chapter 669: A Good Opportunity...... Is it?

…… Having said that the human brain can be confused to such an extent, I am full of confidence in my lower limit again.

"Huh...... Hey...... Haha......"

In the Yuanmingyuan and Changchun Garden, Yongzheng was showing some reading materials, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he laughed inexplicably from time to time. The chief eunuch Wang Yicheng stood aside, his eyes were full of relief, he had never seen his master smile so comfortably for many years......

"The 200,000-strong army was pressed in Burma, and the foreigners beat the nosebleeds for a long time. The Nanban newspapers are scolding, saying that the army is conformist and does not want to make progress......"

Yongzheng put down the "Yuexiu Times" in his hand and sighed with emotion.

"Rotten...... It's rotten, I think I'm Manchurian Eight Banners, and it didn't decay until thirty years after entering the customs, and it's only ten years, and the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians are rotten. 200,000 ...... I have 200,000 firearms troops, enough to sweep Liuhe, but Li Xi has not even a small Burma, how fair God is, how deep my painstaking efforts are. ”

He shook his head and picked up "Zhongliu" again, the Nanban newspaper industry is becoming more and more developed, this "Zhongliu" dedicated to talking about the situation of the Manchus in the north, the news is even faster and more accurate than the secret folding newspaper network in charge of Yongzheng, so Yongzheng asked Henan Governor Ortai to secretly allow the people of "Zhongliu" to set up a sub-printing point directly in Luoyang, so that he can receive "Zhongliu" within three days.

"Yue Zhongqi is indeed capable, the east is to surrender to Jingzhou, the west is based on Hanzhong, and the Nanban is fighting in Chengdu, using my Wuchang camp to intimidate Hunan, supplemented by Tian Wenjing's Jiangxi soldiers, Li Shi's feint did not take any advantage."

"Zhongliu Bao" talked about the movements of the Qing soldiers from all walks of life, which was roughly consistent with the reports of these coaches to Yongzheng, which stabilized Yongzheng's heart.

Before Li Xi raised 300,000 troops in the country, Yongzheng was very frightened, and urged Ru Xi to join forces with Li Xi to find out whether he wanted to deal with himself. Later, the Southern Barbarian army turned south, and the newspapers unexpectedly released the overall strategy, and several marches such as Sichuan, Hunan, and Jiangxi were only to contain the Qing soldiers, and Yongzheng returned to his soul.

Thinking that the "Hushu Contract" has been established for more than four years, and seeing that the tacit contract between the two parties is about to arrive, Yongzheng is difficult to feel at ease after all. Moreover, Nanban's march from Sichuan all the way was related to the situation in Junggar in the northwest, and he also began to think about whether to make a big move. He doesn't have an army of 300,000 firearms, but he always has 100,000, so take this opportunity to eat one of the three feints, and the shame of losing to the Nanban for more than a year, isn't it happy?

It's just that...... After all, Li Xi is using troops abroad, if he turns his head and looks north, can he bring the scene back?

Yongzheng was concerned about this, so the occasional sound of using soldiers in the clan court was also suppressed by him, and he wanted to take a look again.

Today, I read in the newspaper that Nanban was deflated in Burma, and in Java against the Netherlands and the Sultanates, and his careful thoughts were like cat's claws, scratching his heart.

Careful...... Cautious, thinking that Kangxi was also thinking like this back then, while Li Shi was busy with internal affairs, he made repeated moves in Hunan, but he was defeated, and Yongzheng's heart was cold again.

"Yo, thirteen, my body looks like this" How can I run out if I am not recuperating at home? Wang Yicheng, why don't you hurry up and hold on to the Thirteenth Master? ”

Then Prince Yi Yunxiang asked to see him, and saw that the hardcore brother was full of sick faces, and he had to rely on someone to help him move, and Yongzheng's heart was broken.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent matter for the military state, and the minister has to explain it to the emperor in person, cough cough ......"

Yunxiang has been in a state of super-burning for many years, and now he has run out of oil, but he is still conscientious, and has been regarded by the court as a pillar of the Yongzheng Dynasty. …,

"What's the matter!? Nanban is going to take Jiangnan? The army turned around and went north? Is there a demon under the rule again? ”

Yongzheng asked in surprise, now what he is most afraid of are these three things, Nanban not to say, what White Lotus Sect, Hongyang Sect and Maitreya Sect under his rule gradually began to become a climate, and frequently made trouble in Henan, Shandong and other places, fortunately, Li Wei and Ortai were ruthless, and they could still suppress the scene.

Yunxiang shook his head, "No, the emperor, the minister heard that the Internal Affairs Office used Jiangnan Guan silver and weaving silver...... are used to ...... Ahem......"

He was intermittently silent, but the things that could be said were basically pointed out, Yongzheng was a little embarrassed, and prevaricated: "Well, the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office...... Thirteen, you don't care. ”

This was done by Yongzheng himself, he pondered the politics of the Southern Barbarians all day long, and he also made small achievements in financial matters. After learning from Nanban, through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he pulled up a group of Shanxi ticket numbers, established the Shanxi Bank, and set up a branch in Jiangnan. Through the cooperation between Shanxi Bank and Jiangnan Bank, it is also purchasing Nanban treasury bonds. Nanban treasury bonds have a good reputation, stable profits, and do not buy for nothing.

Buying treasury bonds requires capital, and Yongzheng uses Jiangnan Guan silver and weaving silver for Jiangnan Weaving. Now silk fabrics are cheap, and the imperial court originally allocated silver to Jiangnan weaving, and then collected silk fabrics, but now it can't be done like this. Therefore, Yongzheng intercepted Jiangnan Weaving Silver, and let it operate as a company by virtue of the "concession" of the only official weaving workshop in Jiangnan, and collect a surplus of tens of thousands of taels every year. What silk fabrics the court needs, they are directly procured by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Jiangnan, even if the handlers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are greedy, the price is cheaper than the previous Jiangnan weaving tribute.

Yunxiang didn't give up, he held back his strength, and finally said it all: "What the minister said is not only about the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also about the household department and the household department!" "Tobe!

Yongzheng's eyes widened, he suddenly got up, gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "What a gut!" ”

In the lake behind the Old Summer Palace, a few green or pink figures were spreading by the lake, and a person was stunned and rushed over, which suddenly aroused a burst of exclamation.

"Third elder brother, you are so daring, don't say that you didn't bump into the minions guarding outside."

Ru Xi, who was fishing by the lake, said lazily, which made the uninvited guest panic.

"Chun Niangniang forgiveness, I do have the heart to come to Chun Niangniang, in the past, it was inconvenient for you in Yinghua Palace, so I ...... here"

The person who came was in his twenties, and the only one who can be called the third elder brother at the moment is Yongzheng's third son Hongday. If Li Shi was here, he would definitely ask in surprise: "Aren't you dead yet?" ”

History has changed beyond recognition, Kangxi did not live to the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, so it is not unusual that Hongtian is still alive and kicking.

Ru Xi smiled lowly: "The third elder brother doesn't want to live a long life, Ru Xi still wants to live seventy or eighty, the emperor is in the Changchun Garden in the east, your third elder brother is looking for me privately, I'm not afraid what the emperor thinks?" ”

Hongyang shrugged: "I'm here to ask Niangniang about the Nanban, doesn't the fourth child often come to Niangniang to ask for strange things in the south?" ”

This is both a shirk and a threat, Ru Xi's dealings with the fourth elder brother Hongli are also well-known in the palace The strange thing is that the emperor has nothing to say about it. But if you think about it seriously, this is not weird, because Ru Xi is the weirdest existence in the palace. It's been almost ten years, and everyone already knows that the emperor doesn't seem to have any substantive relationship with this master, and he is more treated as a courtier who has participated in the affairs of the Southern Barbarians, and has never rested in the Yinghua Palace, let alone invited Ruxi to sleep. Ru Xi's maid Ru An has been favored a few times, and after Ru An was punished by Ru Xi for finding an opportunity to find an opportunity to punish several times, the emperor never touched Ru An again.

Hongli is only sixteen years old, and when he interacts with Ru Xi, he is naturally not as taboo as Hongday, who is already twenty-three years old. But Ruxi seemed to be in a good mood and didn't continue to care, and said straightforwardly: "Say, what do you want to know?" ”…,

Hongtian took a deep breath, looked left and right, Ruxi's minions were far away, and resolutely asked, "I...... Chances? ”

Ru Xi smiled faintly: "Shouldn't this ask the emperor?" ”

What Hongyang is talking about, of course Ru Xi knows. Yongzheng has been in power for nearly ten years, and has learned the lessons of the Kangxi era, and has never established a prince to secretly build a reserve. But in the past few years, Kangxi's death day has been presided over by Yongzheng in the past dynasties, and the government and the opposition believe that this "little four" must have won the sacred heart and was set up in the secret edict.

It was not surprising that the third elder brother Hongyang had this idea, and he said in a hurried tone: "What Huang Ama thinks is a matter of heaven, I have to do my best." ”

He stared at Ru Xi and said in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor's throne was set in the south back then. I...... I have my strengths, whether it's to the south or to the mother,......"

This is not the first time Hongtian has talked about this, before his eunuch had asked Xiao Lizi to talk, for which Xiao Lizi didn't know how much filial piety he had enjoyed. And his "strengths" were ambiguous, talking about national politics, and there seemed to be something else, Ru Xi's heart trembled.

For more than ten years, she has gone from a deep boudoir girl to a resentful woman in the deep palace, and the strengths she wants are extraordinary.

But a strange tide of love surged, but what flashed in his mind was Yongzheng's figure, and a thicker, taller figure stood behind Yongzheng, it was a teenager, a man who was always smiling and watching everything, full of the bearing of heaven and earth under control, that was Li Shi.

The tide of love was pressed, and then she looked at Hongday, in Ru Xi's eyes, she was a little flute with no hair, she smiled coldly: "Third brother, you can't afford to play this game." You haven't thought about why the emperor would allow you to visit that person often? ”

Yun, no, Aqina is still being circled, probably because Yongzheng feels that because of the oppression of the new policy, the clan and the court are too tight, and it is not good to continue to distract himself from this matter. Moreover, this person's henchmen have been eliminated early, and there is no threat, so he has mercy and has always allowed him to live. not only allowed him to live, but also allowed Hongyang to see him.

The complexity of the issue was obviously beyond Hongday's political understanding, and he didn't understand it for a while, but he didn't have a chance to speak again, and another person came.

"Yo, the third brother is also here, it just so happens that I got a set of Spanish chess suits, and the third brother will come with me for two games?"

The person who came was the fourth elder brother Hongli, who was in high spirits, and Hongtian got the steps and was led by him.

The so-called "human chess costume", naturally people wear clothes as chess pieces, Ru Xi looked at the backs of these two elder brothers, and said in his heart, one is stupid, the other is a gentleman, Yongzheng's two sons, have not inherited the old man's decisive heart, this Qing Dynasty, even if Yongzheng protects it, what will happen to the next generation?

"Li Shi, you better call early, whether it's death or life, it's good to see the real chapter one day sooner, I really can't go on with such a torturous day."

The thoughts in his heart and some changes in his body came together, and the tide of love that he had just pressed was stirring again, Ru Xi groaned in the depths of his throat, and the fishing rod in his hand shook, scaring away a fish that was touching the bait.

Changchun Garden Yun Zhenzhai, Yongzheng roared towards the new household department Shangshu Qingfu who was kneeling on the ground: "You mean, I Qing Dynasty household department, I actually bought five million taels of Nanban treasury bonds!" ”

Qingfu shuddered and said, "This, isn't this what the emperor meant?" ”

Yongzheng almost sprayed a mouthful of blood on his face, and he didn't have a pig's brain, so he used his own treasury to buy the national debt of the enemy country!

Qingfu is still saying: "In accordance with the emperor's instructions in the autumn of this year, the Shanxi Bank will transfer the Jiangnan Autumn Fu on behalf of the Shanxi Bank. The chief treasurer of the Shanxi Bank reported that the emperor had decreed that there was a lot of money accumulated in the treasury, and it was useless to keep it in stock, so it should be operated to make a profit. The money was transferred to Jiangnan Bank, and Jiangnan Bank purchased Nanban treasury bonds on behalf of Jiangnan. Nanban Treasury bonds have been operating for many years, although they are profitable but safe and credible, so they ...... There are now 5 million taels of bonds in the treasury...... Ouch ......"...,

Qingfu shook his head as he spoke, but was thrown over by the angry Yongzheng, a pen stand, which was smashed on his forehead, and he immediately threw himself to the ground.

Yongzheng finished throwing things, but he didn't have anything to say, he remembered that this was a bad thing made by the Internal Affairs Office. He bought 2 million taels of Nanban treasury bonds with Jiangnan Guan silver and weaving silver through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he did not expect that in order to earn commissions on treasury bonds, Shanxi Bank actually colluded with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to suppress the 5 million Jiangnan Autumn Endowment.

"You are the head of the household, and you don't talk to me about the five million taels of silver!? You're really damned! ”

Of course, Yongzheng doesn't think it's his fault, so he blames this Qingfu, taking the treasury and taking millions of taels of silver as child's play!

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a minion damned! It's a slave who is guilty! ”

Qingfu had to carry the black cauldron and confess his guilt repeatedly, but he screamed in his heart for grievances. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought bonds in Jiangnan, it also transferred the money from Jiangnan Guanyin, which should have been transferred to the household treasury, and he thought it was Yongzheng's follow-up "investment". Shanxi Bank is another product of Yongzheng's "New Deal", which is directly managed by Yongzheng through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is simply Yongzheng's private bank, plus the Ministry of Internal Affairs dedicated to serving the royal family, where does he dare to ask more?

Li Fu, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, asked more questions in Suzhou, and was publicly reprimanded by Yongzheng in the court.

"What should I do? In case there is a change in the north and south, nearly 10 million taels of silver are in the hands of the Nanban, what can I do? ”

Yongzheng was a little anxious, he had finally saved forty or fifty million taels of silver in the past few years, and he stuffed such a large sum of money into other people's pockets at once. If Li Shi turned his head and fought with him, no, he would have fought in Sichuan now. How shall the money for this war come out? Could it be that Yue Zhongqi was directly issued a national bond of the Nanban? Hey, that's not a good idea......

He was distracted while muttering to himself, and Qingfu said with a lot of words: "Nanban's treasury bonds are good, if there is a real change, you can sell it directly, and the emperor doesn't have to worry too much...... Ahh......h

Another inkstone smashed over, Yongzheng was so angry, this is the Hubu Shangshu? There is no "financial knowledge" at all. Millions of taels of national bonds are thrown out at once, who can take them? Even if there is a pick-up, it is a good opportunity for the receiver to bargain!

"Your Majesty, there are pros and cons to this matter, and it is not a matter of pinching the lifeblood of the Southern Barbarians, but it is not a matter of damaging the foundation of my Qing Dynasty. The household department and the relevant yamen did fail to supervise, and the ministers also shouldered the responsibility of negligence, and asked the emperor to punish the guilt. ”

Zhang Tingyu also came, he heard about it, and hurried from the Forbidden City, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, he had to help carry the black pot together.

But he has more important things to report, even if he wants to continue to anger Yongzheng, he can't care about it.

"The Nanban invaded the Lijin Bureau of the Jiangnan Prefecture, and held the Liguan and the Yamen officers!?"

"Nian Qianyao meddled in government affairs in Hangzhou on the grounds that the local officials were all controlled by the Nanban, and ruled the political affairs of Hangzhou with the shogunate?"

"There are signs of Catholic activities in Wuchang again, and the Wuchang camp has also been infected!?"

A few things were thrown out, Yongzheng couldn't sit still anymore, and everything was not a trivial matter.

"Hengchen, how do you say today's situation should be broken?"

Yongzheng asked heavily, he was like a hungry wolf who suddenly woke up from a slumber, the impulse that had been suppressed in his heart earlier had flowed all over his body, and the heat made him swell, but he still needed someone to support him, and he didn't dare to make such a decision alone.

"Your Majesty, the north and the south have been at peace for nine years, does the emperor think that they will always be at peace?"

Zhang Tingyu also seemed to take a breath, and looked back at Yongzheng with blazing eyes.

Yongzheng frowned: "What's going on?" Aren't you fighting it now? ”

Zhang Tingyu shook his head: "The emperor understands, Hunan and Jiangxi are just feints, Jiangnan is just encroachment, the real goal of the Nanban is to fight Lanzhou and meddle in the affairs of the northwest, and the Nanban has no determination to start an all-out war with the Qing Dynasty." ”

He took a deep breath: "At this time, the 200,000 troops of the Southern Barbarians are trapped in Burma and Java, and once such an opportunity is missed, I am afraid that it will never be available again." ”

Yongzheng also took a deep breath, yes, this thought kept spinning in his head. The gap between the two countries is getting wider. Nanban was able to explode an army of 300,000 at once, and before I saw the public opinion in the country crying that the people were not living, it was a prosperous scene. When Nanban completely cleaned up the south and the 300,000 army turned north, he worked hard for many years to get the 100,000 firearms army rack, but he couldn't withstand it. If you count the time, it's two years at most......

The two of them discussed here, and Qing Fupin, who was dizzy and dizzy, finally woke up, he trembled all over, and suddenly kneeled forward, hugged Yongzheng's legs, and opened his throat and howled: "I can't fight, the emperor!" ”。 ）
