Mara watched Hongyi re-read a long official document that had been stamped with the "Tang Seal" in an extremely "narcissistic" manner, and her mouth opened, but she didn't say a word, looking like she wanted to say something.

"Xiao Gongzi, go and hand it over to the master sitting in the hall." Hongyi personally folded the official document and commanded.

"Huh!" Xiao Gongzi took the official document, raised his legs and left, without a moment's delay.

"Slow!" Hongyi, who had been the "secretary of the Standing Committee" for several years, was very satisfied with Liang Gong's astuteness and ability at the moment, and he was quite like himself when he joined the work after graduating from college, but he still stopped him uneasily.

"Master, what else do you command?" Liang Gong steadily retracted his footsteps, stood in place, and turned around with his waist bent, respectful.

"Let me ask you, how are you going to find someone?" Hony asked.

"If you go back to the master, the slave will go to the errand room, find the pen post style and the master in charge who specializes in handling the paperwork, and lead them to meet you." Liang Gong did not hesitate at all, but he also answered cautiously.

"Well, that's good. But if I do it, I will first go to Lord Keishinro[1], who is sitting in the hall today, and ask him to take you to the head of the hall in this bureau and give him this order. Then I said that I meant it, and asked you to go to the Zongren Mansion with a few of them, find the right sect master who assisted me in taking charge of the affairs of the Imperial Servant Bureau, and ask him to read this article, and if there is nothing wrong, he will report it to the Zongling Lord for review. Other matters are free to be handled by the officials. Got it? "The first time he sat in the hall to run an errand, Hongyi was extremely cautious, and he was afraid that a eunuch would mess up the errand, so he said it in great detail and cumbersome.

"The minion made a note of it."

"There is another point, although you are the imperial chamberlain, you must not be trusted, remember, this sect is up and down, but it is all the clan!" Hongyi emphasized the issue of work attitude.

Originally, the Zongren Mansion was set up in the ninth year of Shunzhi to imitate the regulations of the Lighting Dynasty, and the first Zongling was set up by one person, and the prince and the county king were for it; Left and right Zongzheng, Baylor and Beizi are also photographed, one each; The left and right sect people, the prince of the town, the prince of the auxiliary country and the general and the general, and the selection of the virtuous, not limited to the knight, one person each. All of the above should belong to the leadership. There are also Qi Xinlang, Jueluo and Han Jun, who are not proficient in Chinese and sit in the meeting, which is actually equivalent to a translator.

In addition: six people in Langzhong; There are four people outside the staff, with Jueluo as it, and the heirs change Jueluo and Manchuria to participate; The three principals took Jueluo as it, and changed it to Jueluo and Manchuria. These people can basically be regarded as middle-level cadres.

It consists of: two directors of the hall; experienced three people, two from the clan and Manchuria, and one from the Han dynasty; There are four people in the pen post style. At the beginning, he was red haha [2], pen post style Ha fan, looking for sixth, seventh, eighth products and no top wearing pen post style. These people are low-level officials.

In other words, in the Zongren Mansion in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the people in charge were all clansmen, which was still different from the personnel structure of the Zongren Mansion in the Kangyong era. Hongyi didn't want to let others think that he had not dried up on the first day of his errand, so he sent a eunuch to swagger around.

What's more, on the first day of the establishment of this Imperial Servant Bureau, only one director and two or three pen posts were temporarily transferred from the Zongren Mansion, and it is estimated that they are now confused about how this Imperial Servant Bureau operates, so it is even more necessary for Hongyi to explain the process clearly.

After sending Liang Gong away, Hongyi said to Mara with a pleasant face:

"Mara, what is the matter with you? Now that there is no one else but you and me, you can rest assured, right? ”

"Slave ......" Mara was surprised in her heart, her subtle movements and expressions couldn't escape the eyes of this young master!

"Just now you stopped talking, and I knew that you hadn't figured out how to say it, or whether to say it or not. Right? "Hongyi is kind and seductive.

"Lord Belle is wise!" Mara, who was standing, involuntarily nodded to the ground on one knee, but with sincere admiration.

"Get up, from now on, you and I don't have to be rigid about etiquette in ordinary questions and answers. I have taken you as a confidant. "Hongyi is actually saying: I'm too small, you kneel to answer, people are behind the huge public case, and they can't see your expression at all! According to the conversation etiquette and skills of later generations, if I can't see your eyes, I can't catch your thoughts, big brother!

"Minions...... Lord Shabel! "Mara is all in love with the master, and she is grateful in her heart.

"If you think about it, just say it, I don't blame you for what I said is wrong." Hongyi looked at Mara standing at the bottom of the steps on the opposite side very comfortably, and the angle was very comfortable.

"The minion will be honest with you!" Mara made up her mind and stared at Hongyi.

"Speak." Hongyi also stared at Mara with a trusting expression.

"Huh! This morning, the slave was ordered to find the lame beggar he met in the Liuli Factory that day, and he found it very smoothly. As soon as they met, the man recognized the minion and was very cordial. After listening to the minion's request, he agreed without saying a word, and remembered your compassion for him that day, and repeatedly said that it was to repay you, and he was willing to serve the dogs and horses...... "Mara said from the beginning, although cumbersome but unpretentious without rhetoric.

Hongyi heard the clouds and mountains and fog cover the most, but he didn't interrupt without any interruption. He knew that as a guard, being able to give him a chance to fully express himself at this time, instead of ridiculing and scolding him and repeating it in detail, would definitely play a very important role!

"Later, the servant remembered that the day before yesterday, you asked me to quietly look for him, and ask him where he was from, where he had joined the army, and how his exploits were...... The minion did as you said. Mara looked up, looking for support from Hongyi so she could continue reporting.

"Yes, I said that the day before yesterday. And what about later? "Hongyi is very cooperative.

"Then the beggar spoke to the servant in detail...... "Mara summoned up her courage and elaborated.

It turned out that the lame beggar's real name was Zhao Shixiang, who was Chinese New Year's Eve years old and an old Beijinger. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty, that is, in the first year of Shunzhi, he was conscripted into the army and participated in the battle against Li Zicheng's peasant army. Later, the eunuch Cao Huachun opened the Changyi Gate to welcome the surrender, and the peasant army swarmed into the capital. Zhao Shixiang couldn't bear to surrender to the enemy, so he put on makeup and absconded and slipped home. Who would have thought that the Daxi army was a homeless people, and the military discipline was extremely poor, and on the first day of entering the city, they took the song and prostitute and the pursuit of pleasure as their business, and even ordinary soldiers grabbed people's wealth in Beijing, and did not hesitate to burn and kill. Zhang Shixiang's family of five was slaughtered because they secretly hid a few taels of official silver, and only he escaped by taking advantage of the chaos.

After Dolgon entered the city, Zhao Shixiang, in order to avenge his family's hatred, once again joined Wu Sangui's army, hoping to kill more of those exiles[3]. When the leader of the army learned that he had actual combat experience, he gave him a small chief[4] and led a dozen or so newly recruited Han soldiers to train quickly. On the eve of Wu Sangui's order to prepare to pursue the Great Western Army, a group of Manchurian soldiers came, and when they saw Zhao Shixiang and several people training recruits, they laughed and scolded angrily that the Han people would not fight at all.

One of Zhao Shixiang's recruits was not convinced, and replied a few words, which resulted in a severe beating. Seeing this, Zhao Shixiang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, but he was beaten together, and one leg was crippled, and he hurriedly ended his two short military trips. The saddest thing is that the young and vigorous sergeant was actually beaten to death by more than a dozen Manchurian soldiers, and was later slandered as a disobedient officer, disrespectful of superiors, and innocent of death......

Afterwards, because they offended the very noisy Manchurian soldiers, Zhao Shixiang could not get any official compensation from the Qing army or Wu Sangui's army, and even the fact of joining the Eight Banners of the Han Army was artificially erased. As Wu Sangui's army marched out, his superiors only left him a few taels of silver. Therefore, Zhao Shixiang, whose family was ruined, ended up on the streets.

Mara, who is a Manchurian, was really hesitant to tell Belle Ye after learning the news. As a soldier, he deeply sympathized with Zhao Shixiang's misfortune. But as a Manchurian, he felt very guilty about what those people of the same clan had done that day. Therefore, he hesitated again and again and did not report the matter immediately.

After listening to Mara's babbling report, Hongyi was speechless for a long time, which made Mara even more embarrassed. After all, this kind of family ugliness, for the same "Manchurian" master, will it be too tricky?

"Now in the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners Army, will new recruits still be bullied when they enlist in the army?" Hongyi finally spoke, but asked a question that Mara hadn't paid attention to.

"Lord Belle, since ancient times, it is natural for new pawns to serve the old soldiers. If you make a mistake, even if you beat and scold, it is reasonable. Mara replied.

"But recruits are human too! They also have parents and brothers, who are also flesh and blood. Besides, since you have joined the army, everyone is a brother, a robe, and you want to live and die together and go to the national disaster together! If even siblings have to kill each other, how can we expect our soldiers to swear to defend their homeland and defend their countrymen? Hongyi was a little excited, and said something that is still very difficult to understand about the current Mara.

"If the family and country are not protected, what do you do to defend the capital and defend the emperor?" Hongyi noticed the confusion in Mara's eyes, so he added.

Mara understood.

"Lord Belle, the Eight Banners athletes are all the emperor's minions, for the emperor's sake, the minions will never give up!" Mara fell to her knees and swore impassionedly.

"But the emperor Ama loves the people like a son, and treats ordinary soldiers like children...... Hongyi stood up, bypassed the table, walked to Mara's side, bent down slightly, and helped him up, and then said: "Therefore, the old soldiers in the army beat and bullied the recruits for no reason, and the Manchurian Eight Banners wantonly insulted the Han army, we must think about it slowly, and we can't let it fend for itself. After all, the Eight Banners of the Han Army are not in the minority now......"

Mara is a little "understood", is it possible that the master wants to think about gathering military power?

"You take a hundred taels of silver from Mama Park tomorrow, find an opportunity to hand it over to Zhao Shixiang, and say that I gave it to an old pawn."

"But he is also a soldier of the former Ming Dynasty...... "Mara said a little doubt in her heart.

"Then he also served the country, he was a warrior of China back then, and today he is still a meritorious man of my China and my Qing Dynasty." Hongyi said it with great certainty, and there is no room for doubt.

[Tonight, I happened to see a video of seven or eight veterans of the Wuhai Fire Brigade in Inner Mongolia beating up an unknown recruit - "The Second Fire Squadron of Wuda District, Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia Beat a Recruit", I was very angry, and even angry. Recruits are also human beings and have parents. It's hard to imagine that if the parents of those beaten soldiers saw this video today, would they be heartbroken and painful? I strongly urge that this matter must be clarified! Feeling this, this chapter was temporarily added, and in terms of content, Hongyi tried his best to connect with the text before and after. But it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and bluntness, but it really happened for a reason and suddenly! -- Strongly urge the military leadership to attach great importance to this and give all the parents of recruits an emotional explanation and relief! 】

[Also, before the author started writing this chapter, Wuhai Fire had intervened in the investigation of the video incident of "fire recruits being beaten" and admitted that it was indeed the case. 】

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, various ministries and institutes were placed, and their positions were slightly inferior to those of the squire, and the language barrier between the Manchu and Han ministers was in charge. In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), in addition to the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Qixin was cut into various ministries. In the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673), the Zongren Mansion was also cut.

[3] Displaced people, people who have been exiled due to disasters and have no place to live. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it referred to the two teams headed by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Hongyi's orthodox education when he was a child was that the army of King Li Zicheng was a "peasant rebel army", and in recent years, historians have begun to have different understandings of this, one of which is that these two armies, which were mainly composed of displaced people, had extremely poor military discipline.
