The two prime ministers cooperated with the king to run seedling affairs

The four princes first met the tumbler

Besides, Yongzheng resolutely killed his son, although there was no clear edict to announce to the world, but Hongshi was dismissed at that time because of "perverse and indulgent", and a few days later the news of his "suicide in shame" came out.

Within a few years, Yun Zhi and Yun Yu were imprisoned to death, and Yun Zhi and "Uncle Long Keduo" were imprisoned to death, plus the death of Hongshi's own son, all the noble ministers who had the heart of party support were killed. is really iron-faced and ruthless, and the six relatives don't recognize it. Sure enough, it was shocking and shocking the obscenity and filth of officialdom.

Although all the officials and landlords in the world are gentry, Yongzheng's new policy of "returning fire consumption to the public, changing to raise incorruptible silver, apportioning the land into the mu, and the people as one errand to finish the grain", are still full of anger and resentment. He hated the villain behavior of Tian Wenjing and Ortai who deliberately exploited and pretended to apply for their achievements and invite merit to advance, but it was true that no one dared to fight and avenge their grievances. Don't dare to attack these "model governors" set up by Yongzheng.

Not only Yongzheng, but also Zhang Tingyu, Ortai and other ministers all felt that the order was forbidden to act vigorously and resolutely, and government affairs were rarely hindered.

This is simply another myth of "Yongzheng Prosperous Age". But this is a false myth dyed red with the blood of countless innocent people.

As the third elder brother Hongshi wrote in the last word:

Countless idiots and ordinary people,

It's hard to get into.

The spring is about to be dimmed,

To whom does the waning moon and the wind cry?

Taxi west to leak three watches,

Looking back, it's hard to describe the world.

To my children,

Qingming Mo will be a new willow endowment.

Yongzheng's dragon body is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and Hongli knows that he is still sad for Hongshi. Every day, after Yun Songxuan dealt with government affairs, he always personally served the ginseng soup, bird's nest, bear's paw and other supplements that the eunuch had boiled, and sent them to the palace of Yongzheng and Qiao Yindi in Luhualou to serve Yongzheng.

Sitting down, Hongli also reported some good news from time to time: such as the progress of Yu Hongtu's river work, Yue Zhongqi's chariot manufacturing situation, and did everything possible to pull Yongzheng's thoughts back to government affairs. Sometimes, Yongzheng's face was a little brighter, and he said to Hongli:

"Don't worry, Hongshi is dead, and I won't be sad. If I can't give up on him, can't I give him another punishment? Every time I think of them now, I am not happy when I think of Arkinases. But the law of the country and the law of the family are there, and what to do has to be done. Although the Son of Heaven is not allowed to live in private, you must understand this article. As I get older, my body and bones are getting worse and worse, and my spirit is getting worse and worse. In his later years, the Holy Grandfather let go a little, and the world became extremely difficult to govern. You have to learn this lesson and take measures around me to deal with government affairs, so that I will be lazy and you will be more in charge, and you will not be able to get down to business. ”

Hongli has burst into tears. He knew that Amma's elimination of Brother Hongshi was not only a lesson from the previous dynasty, but also a way to remove obstacles for his future ascension to the throne. He was grateful to his father for his hard work, and said:

"Amalong is not in good health, but he still has to look at the imperial doctor, this is the right way-" Hongli paused for a while, stopped talking, took down a copy of the Book of Changes from the bookshelf and opened it, stuffed a note in it, handed it to Yongzheng, and plucked up the courage to say, "There are many discussions among the ministers - especially Li Wei, Tian Wenjing and others, saying that Jia Shifang relied on the trust of Long Live to behave outside and said something extremely unfavorable to the emperor......

Yongzheng took the "Book of Changes" and glanced at it, but in the open page was a note, which read: "Zhu Jia Shifang." With just four words, Yongzheng looked like he had been electrocuted, and his eyes flashed:

"Do all the ministers say that?"

"Yes."

"Li Wei has to do this. He has supernatural powers, and I can use them now, and now he has merit and no fault, and he can't dispose of it for no reason. You have to be careful, maybe he can guess your note. ”

"If he wants to see through the Book of Changes, he won't be able to control it." Hongli smiled and said, "When I talk to Li Wei, we all use this Song version of "Yi", forgive him for not knowing the three things." ”

Yongzheng nodded with a smile and said:

"Well, you are very good at thinking about things, and I will use this "Book of Changes" to convey your message when the time comes."

Hongli retired, and there was a will that night: Qiao Yindi was promoted to the position of "virtuous concubine" and lived in the palace in Changchun Garden.

Ten years after Yongzheng, there were ministers such as Hongli, Zhang Tingyu, and Ortai who worked hard all night, and government affairs were also handy, but military affairs were very tricky. Yunnan and Guangxi changed their land and returned to the stream, and the local Tusi were not satisfied, and the newly selected state and county officials came to these poor and remote areas, and there were many things to do, and there was no oil and water to obtain, and many state and county officials did not have a chief official, and let the officials work together to exploit the people of Miao Yao, and repeatedly provoked popular uprisings. Since the fifth year of Yongzheng, Zhenyuan Tusi Diao Han led the Miao people to gather people to raise an incident, burned the government office, and used soldiers to recruit and suppress several times, all of which were "I will enter the mountains when the soldiers come, and I will come again when the soldiers go", and they can not be subdued.

Ortai was to "change the land and return to the stream" and join the "holy decision" as the pivotal minister, of course, he was deeply disturbed, and personally asked Ying to return to Guiyang to preside. Yongzheng naturally complied with it, and still ordered him to supervise the military affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou as the minister of military aircraft, and ordered Ha Yuansheng, the governor of Guizhou, to be the general of Yangwei, and Dong Fang, the governor of Huguang, to be the deputy general.

In May of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, the Miao people in Guzhou and Taigong in Guizhou Province rebelled again, and the momentum was huge. If it is not suppressed in time, it will once again spread to Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan provinces. Zhang Tingyu received an 800-mile urgent military report from Ha Yuansheng, and immediately saw Yongzheng who was ill.

Yongzheng was lying on the kang head of the East Warm Pavilion of the Tangning Palace, and General Zhang Tingyu read the contents of the report to the emperor word by word, and Yongzheng did not squeak for a long time. When Zhang Tingyu looked up, he saw that the emperor on the kang was thin and sleepy, as if he had fallen asleep. He turned his gaze to Qiao Yindi, who was sitting on the side, hoping that this virtuous concubine could help wake up the emperor and hear the will.

Qiao Yindi shook her head. Zhang Tingyu was desperate and wanted to retreat, but unexpectedly the kang moved, and then let out a hoarse sigh:

"Ahem-this Ortai ......"

When Zhang Tingyu immediately bowed forward, there was no follow-up. He leaned forward and said:

"Your Majesty, Ortai has been ordered to go to Yunnan two months ago, do you want him to return to Guizhou?"

"Hengchen," Yongzheng reluctantly sat up with Qiao Yindi's support, supported his upper body with a thin arm, and said breathlessly, "You are an old man of the two dynasties, six or seven years older than me!" You have experienced the Kangxi Dynasty, you, you know...... In order to pacify the rebellion of the three feudatories in the south and Yunnan, the Holy Grandfather wanted to exterminate the Galdan in the northwest...... Taiwan's Zheng Jing, who drove the expedition in person, did not hesitate to fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield...... Horse leather shroud, for what? Just to create a peaceful and prosperous world...... Now, I'm not in good health, and I can't drive it in person...... But the people of Yungui and Miao can't be chaotic, they must be appeased and exterminated. If you can caress it, you can touch it, and if you can't touch it, you can kill it! Kill! Kill...... Zhang Tingyu took the order! ”

Yongzheng was already out of breath, and when he said the word "kill", he gritted his teeth, as if he had exhausted the last bit of strength in his life.

Hearing the word "receiving the order", Zhang Tingyu flicked his sleeves and knelt down and kowtowed:

"Minister, Zhang Tingyu obeys the order!"

"Prince Yunli of Mingguo, Prince Hongli of Bao, Zhang Tingyu, and Ortai will prepare for the affairs of Miaojiang from now on. Zhang Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and Punishment, and Shi De Xishou, the deputy capital, will leave for Guizhou from now on to investigate the Miao rebellion, assist Ortai, Ha Yuansheng and other generals, and be sure to quell the Miao rebellion. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ba Qin is resigned, and Chakdan is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, admiring this! ”

After Yongzheng dictated this edict, he was exhausted and fell down like a dead log, no longer speaking. Listen to Qiao Yindi, Gao Wuyong, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids to serve and eat Jindan.

Zhang Tingyu knelt there, shouting "Minister's Order", and did not get up or say anything for a long time. He stared blankly at Yongzheng, who was surrounded by people, and felt a heart-piercing shudder in his heart. He knew that the emperor's dragon body was becoming more and more worrisome. However, Yongzheng refused to be seen by the Tai Hospital's Tai Doctor, and he also refused to take the prescriptions prescribed by the Tai Doctor, but he believed in Jia Shifang and other liars, Taoist priests, warlocks, and witch doctors, and kept eating what Jindan. The seriousness of the problem lies in the fact that no matter how much the prince or the important ministers of the court advise, it will not help. He once heard Prince Bao say that Li Wei had proposed to kill Jia Shifang, but Yongzheng was still hesitant, this hidden danger was not eliminated, and the emperor's life was worried.

What's the solution? Zhang Tingyu thought about it, stood up anxiously, and waved Yongzheng's dictation into words on a few cases in the palace, and asked Qiao Yindi to use the imperial seal of Yongzheng's "Yuanming Layman". He withdrew with the holy decree in his hand, and came straight to Yun Songxuan to deliver the decree to Prince Bao Hongli and others.

The rebellion of the Miao people in Guizhou was, of course, the top priority in the use of troops. Guizhou is located in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, which is different from the northwest, which was also using troops at that time. Since the Kangxi Dynasty in the northwest exterminated Galdan, the Junggar Department was in charge of the Western Route Army, and there was General Ji Chengfu, and the deputy staff leader Zha Di took care of the Northern Route Army, and Yue Zhongqi recently played ten victories:

One is the main virtue, the second is the time, the third is the location, and the fourth is the people

, five said grain and grass storage, six said that the soldiers were excellent, and seven said that the chariot rode the camp

As good as possible, eight are said to be sharp firearms and weapons, nine are said to be serial battles, and ten are said

Expedition of horses, moderation and leisure, assertion of the strategy of zero Galdan jumping beam clown

It's not hard to see the day is flat.

Zhang Tingyu did not have much to worry about the military in the northwest. Even if the war in the northwest drags on, the desert is lonely, and the land is barren and there are few people, it will not affect the peace of the country too much. Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou have a large population and abundant products, and the chaos in the southwest will affect the whole country. Zhang Tingyu thought that it made sense for Yongzheng to make such a determination and allocate the main forces of the prince's ministers to deal with the pacification of the Miao Rebellion.

At that moment, a meeting of the Upper Study, the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing was convened in Yunsongxuan.

After Zhang Tingyu finished announcing the decree, Hongli said slowly:

"Long live so concerned about the affairs of Miaojiang in Guizhou, we as courtiers should take the lead, liver and brain, no matter the cost, we must also calm the Miao chaos, so that the emperor can rest assured. Now there is no need to worry about the affairs of the court, and Mr. Fang, Zhu Xiang and the ministers of various ministries will take care of it. I intend that Uncle Guo and Brother Hongli will stay in the capital to convey their will, and I will go to Hunan with Zhang Xiang to supervise the pacification of Guizhou Miaojiang affairs. The generals of Ortai and Ha Yuansheng have already received the order to send troops, and Zhang Shangshu and De Xishou Deputy Capital Yushi will leave for Guizhou from now on. Zhang Xiang and I arrived later, and the horse passed quickly to make a decision. Zhang Xiang, what do you think? ”

Zhang Tingyu is the first time to work alone with Prince Bao Hongli on an errand, although he is over sixty years old, but his body is good. He is willing to go to Hunan with Hongli to complete the Miao affairs, which can be regarded as getting rid of the troubles in his heart.

"What Prince Bao said is very true," Zhang Tingyu looked around and said, "Zhang Zhao, Dexi Shouer and others have arrived in Guizhou, and they must go to the places where the Miao people in Guzhou and Taigong have caused trouble and rebellion again, and conduct on-the-spot investigations, not hearsay." The use of troops by Ortai and Ha Yuansheng is only a way to force the Miao people to seek peace, and it is not the main method. The main way is to surrender and appease. You tell Ortai and Ha Yuansheng not to kill innocents indiscriminately! Don't hurt the Miao people who don't gather to make trouble! It is better to capture the leaders of the rebellion alive and declare the emperor's intention to appease them, as long as they are willing to submit and stop making trouble, they can not blame the past. This is Fu, the emperor repeatedly said this when he gave the dictation, and hoped that the two would do good things. ”

Zhang Zhao and Dexi Shou received the decree and left the capital immediately on the same day. Led a group of pen-style Goshha, dozens of fast horses, day and night, arrived in Guizhou Taigong in less than ten days and a half months.

Five days later, Zhang Tingyu and Hongli asked for a decree to make a trip, Hongli took Yanhong, Yingying and a group of Ziwangfu soldiers and guards, Zhang Tingyu brought two followers of lower-level officials, and there were dozens of people together.

Because of the fact that Prince Hongli accompanied him, Zhang Tingyu naturally had to pay some attention to it. Before leaving, he sent a report to the provinces, prefectures, counties, and official posts along the way, passing through Zhili, Henan, Hubei, and arriving in Hunan. The officials inside and outside the court, no one knows now, and the future world will be the Hongli of this Prince Bao. As soon as the third elder brother Hongshi died, there was no one to compete with him anymore. Those corrupt officials and ministers are too late to stammer all the way, who dares to slack off?

Passing through Henan, he stayed in Tianwenjing's Mansion for a day. Tian Wenjing is the "model governor" set up by Yongzheng, but Zhang Tingyu and Hongli both look down on him, so they naturally want to knock and beat here to remind this governor who is known for his cruelty what he saw and heard along the way. The fire returns to the public, and it is a great invention of the field to spread the land into the acre, and he invites pets with it. After Zhang Tingyu examined the treasury and silver account books in Henan, he said to Governor Tian not without ridicule:

"Lord Tian has a good official reputation in the capital, but what Prince Bao and I have heard all the way is full of complaints. There is a certain reason for apportioning the land into the acre, and the state should pay taxes regardless of the rich and the poor. However, some people develop quickly, some develop slowly, and even decrease from generation to generation. Nowadays, taxes are only counted as field grain, and for families with a large population, the acres of land cannot be increased, and the rations cannot make ends meet, so how can they bear excessive taxes and grain? Governor Tian should make a good plan. ”

Although Tian Wenjing is favored by the emperor, but now when Yongzheng is terminally ill, it is Zhang Tingyu who is in the imperial court, and the future world is the Prince of Honglibao, so he naturally only nods like pounding garlic.

"Prime Minister Zhang taught that it seems that the Kangxi Dynasty compiled and reviewed the people once in the third or fifth year, and transferred the acres according to the number of people, and it makes sense to spread the acres on this basis. Your subordinates should pay attention. ”

Hongli said it bluntly:

"Tian Wenjing, you can't report good news and bad news. If the officials are not satisfied, the people are dissatisfied, and it will become a big deal to provoke a civil uprising. This time the Miao people in Guizhou made trouble, I think nine times out of ten it was caused by those dog officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, and Huang Ama asked me to accompany Zhang Xiang to deal with this matter, which shows that the emperor is extremely concerned about this. Henan is under the arch of Chen, and it is even better to do it yourself. ”

Tian Wenjing kowtowed again and again, as if the tofu had fallen into the dust, and he couldn't blow it or shoot it, and he didn't know what to do. The next day, I finally sent these two offended gentlemen out of the jurisdiction, and my heart fell.

Arrived in Hubei, rested overnight in the Yamen of the Governor of Wuchang, and the next day abandoned the carriage and horse and took a boat to Hunan. This is Hongli's idea, this imperial brother has been good at traveling in the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and he is supervising the Yungui military and political brigades as a messenger, and he has not forgotten to take the opportunity to be chic.

Fortunately, along the way, there were military reports from Zhang Zhao and De Xishou in Guizhou every day, and Hongli and Zhang Tingyu knew the progress of Guizhou Pingmiao affairs well. Along the way, they planned horseback chariots and boats, and commanded remotely, but they were not afraid of delaying time.

got on a big ship prepared by the governor of Hubei, Hongli took Yanhong, Yingying and a group of soldiers and guards from the prince's palace to point out the rivers and mountains on the bow of the ship, and stirred up the words, so happy. Zhang Tingyu was in the cabin to review all kinds of concerts, newspapers, and military documents that were urgently delivered from Beijing and Guizhou along the way. I was dazzled, and occasionally came to the outside of the side of the boat to enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. The beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is as green and clear as the hometown of Tongcheng, which is incomparably beautiful, but it is more open and vast than the mountains and rivers of Tongcheng.

Smiled before arriving in Jiangnan,

Yueyang upstairs to Jun Mountain.

Zhang Tingyu is not a poet, but he suddenly remembered this verse, and he also had a groundless yearning for the ancient city of Yueyang. Since the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, there have been many stories about the 800-mile Dongting and the small island of Junshan in the lake. Farther away, the Empress Nuying of the Yaoshun era, Qu Zi's singing on the shore of Dongting Lake, and Jia Changsha's complaining and complaining about Qu Zi. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the people who moved to the house came to Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake to sing and cry like a pilgrimage.

In the past, Dongting water,

Today on the Yueyang Tower.

Wu Chu Southeast Valley,

The universe floats day and night.

Relatives and friends have no words,

The old and sick have a lonely boat.

Rongmaguan Mountain North,

With Xuan Xuan Si Liu.

He remembered the situation when Wu Sangui and Chen Bing Yueyang fought a decisive battle with the Qing soldiers. At that time, three or four urgent reports came into the study every day, so he left an indelible impression on Yue Yang.

The big ship arrived at Chenglingji, and Huang Ningdao, the prefect of Yueyang, led the officials of the prefecture and county to greet him there. At this time, Pegasus sent the good news that Zhang Zhao, the minister of Guizhou Qincha, and De Xishou were investigating the seedlings, and the good news said:

The emperor's grace was vast, and the Miao people in Guzhou, Guizhou, and Taigong rebelled basically

Quell. Unfortunately, 1,200 Miao people were killed and injured in nine caves and eighteen villages

The rest of the people, Miao Shou has been imprisoned. Now he has Ha Yuansheng and Guizhou Governor

and state and county officials entered Miao Mountain to comfort the frightened people and announced the emperor's move

The meaning of caressing. Please rest assured that Prince Bao and Zhang Xiang, ministers Zhang Zhao and Dexi

Shou Bu Ri will escort the Miao bandits back to Beijing for the first time to report on their work.

Zhang Zhao is a contemporary calligrapher, and all the palaces in the Forbidden City have his ink treasures, but it is difficult for the people to ask for his ink treasures. Zhang Tingyu looked at the military newspaper written in neat block letters and was also amazed.

Pingmiao's affairs were victorious, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and there was no need to go to Changsha, the seat of the Hunan governor. Zhang Tingyu and Hongli agreed to wait for Zhang Zhao's next step in Yueyang for a few days. Governor Huang was overjoyed to hear this decision, and immediately sent people to ride horses and fly to the government office, clean the court, and welcome this rare moment of scenery. He himself waited with the boat, entered Dongting Lake from the mouth of the three rivers, and sailed straight to Yueyang City.

The boat to the city wall of Yueyang Tower, 800 miles of Dongting, is really written in Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower", "to view the Baling Sheng, in Dongting Lake." Connecting the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the mighty and boundless", Hongli and Yanhong and Yingying stood on the bow of the boat and looked stunned. At that time, I saw a team of black behemoths on the rolling lake, with the huge waves, appearing and disappearing, which was strange and fresh. Hongli pointed to the black buffalo-like thing and asked:

"What kind of monster is that undulating?"

"That's **, worship the wind's **!" Huang Zhifu explained on the side.

“**？” Ying Ying smiled and asked, "How can there be pigs in the water?" Since it's a pig, how can you swim in the water? ”

"It's not the kind of pig raised in a pigsty," Huang Zhifu didn't know that this young beauty was actually Prince Bao's inner family, and said boldly, "It is a fish in the water that is much bigger than a pig, and its scientific name is finless porpoise." The head of the fish looks similar to that of the pig, so the local people call it **. ”

"Ahh Look at the ** here. Yingying danced with joy, "Look at them arching one by one, as if they are kowtowing to Prince Bao." ”

"It's called worshipping the wind."

"No, it's to worship our Prince Bao!" Yingying insisted.

Huang Zhifu knew that he had left his mouth, so he immediately changed his words:

"The girl is right, she is worshipping our Prince Bao! Worship the emperor in the Forbidden City. ”

Leave the boat to climb the cliff, pass through the city gate hole under the Yueyang Tower, and come to the Yuezhou Mansion to rest, Hongli and Zhang Tingyu's residences are naturally cleaned and clean, and all the furnishings are completely new.

It was the early summer of June, neither cold nor hot, and there was naturally not a single hateful mosquito in the south in this mansion, so it was very comfortable to live here. That night, Yuezhou Huang Zhifu set up a feast in Yueyang Tower to entertain Prince Bao and Prime Minister Zhang, ascended to the third floor of the main building, two tables of banquets, and clothed by the window. It's really Dengs Lou, then the heart is relaxed, the wine is in the wind, and it is joyful!

Hongli has liked to make poems since he was a child, but at this moment, he can't make a single poem. In this sea of poems full of famous Tang and Song dynasty inscriptions, Hongli is still a little self-aware, he doesn't dare to make poems, three cups of Dongting drunken entrance, but he sings again, and Zhang Tingyu and others gamble with poetry. It is said that he will chant a song, and those who can't keep up will be punished with a glass of wine.

Hongli opened his mouth and groaned:

Baling looked at Dongting Qiu,

The sun sees the lonely peak floating on the water.

Hearing that the gods can't be connected,

The heart is with the lake.

Zhang Tingyu immediately followed one song:

It is good to be good, and the water flow of Hunan is tiled.

Baling unlimited wine, drunk and killed Dongting Qiu.

"Okay, okay, this is Li Bai's poem." Hongli looked back at Huang Zhifu and said, "What, Huang Ning Dao, as the prefect of Yuezhou, you can't come up with a poem?" ”

"Prince Bao, Weichen is really too happy and too nervous." Huang Zhifu may be in order to please the prince and important ministers, deliberately pretending to be flustered and can't remember the poem, and drank it all with a glass of wine, "Weichen should be punished, punished!" ”

"Okay, the next one - Yan Hong!"

Yan Hong groaned:

Ten thousand mountains are crying in spring,

A leaf light boat down the five streams.

Go to the cave and look back,

The smoke and sunset are full of Qianxi.

"Good, good!" Hongli said thoughtfully, "This poem is very consistent with our order this time. It's just that the Miao chaos in Guizhou has been calmed, otherwise, we should really 'go down to the five streams with a light boat', and 'the smoke and sunset are full of Qianxi'. Hey, Yan Hong, who wrote this poem? ”

"It was made by Fu Heng, the prince's brother-in-law." Yan Hong replied.

"Fu Heng's doing?" Hongli probably remembered his Qiao'er, who had gone to Shandong with her husband Gao Heng to be an official at this time, and had not seen his beloved sister-in-law and little lover for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?" ”

"Once Fu Heng personally chanted to his concubine."

"Ah......" Hongli was thoughtful, and he had no intention of drinking and gambling on poetry anymore.

For several days, Zhang Tingyu handled official business at his residence at night, and accompanied Hongli to visit the famous mountains and rivers of Yueyang during the day. Visit Dongting Lake, visit Jun Mountain, visit Quzi Temple, visit the Chibi Ancient Battlefield of the Yangtze River, visit Du Fu Temple and Du Fu Tomb in Xiaoping in the middle reaches of the Luojiang River...... It's a lot of fun, and I'm happy to forget to return.

A few days later, after Hongli and Zhang Tingyu received the military report that Zhang Zhao had left for his return, they simply postponed the return date and summoned Zhang Zhao to come to Yueyang to meet and return to Beijing together. From Guizhou to Yueyang, it is only a few hundred miles, and it will take a day or two to arrive by horse. Zhang Zhao was only in his forties at the time, and he was in the prime of life, and he actually led a group of criminal officials with the deputy capital Yu Shiling, escorting two Miao bandit leaders, day and night, changing horses without changing people, and rushed to Yueyang in the evening of the next day.

As soon as Zhang Shangshu arrived, Huang Ningdao, the prefect of Yueyang, opened a small abacus: it turned out that there were inscriptions on the wall of famous poems since the Tang and Song dynasties on the Yueyang Tower, and there was no ink treasure left in Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower". This is undoubtedly a big regret for Yueyanglou. Lou to the name of the text, the text to the Lou Chuan, he has long wanted to ask the world's famous calligrapher Zhang Zhao to write "Yueyang Lou Ji", made a carved screen, hanging in the main building of Yueyang Lou, this will be a treasure passed down through the ages. It's just that Zhang Shangshu easily refused to give ink, and he asked his classmates in Beijing to pull the strings, but he didn't achieve anything. This time, Zhang Zhaoshangshu came to Yueyang Tower in person, isn't this a great opportunity?

A banquet was held in Yueyang Tower to wash the dust for Zhang Zhao and De Xishou, and Huang Zhifu cautiously put forward this request, but Zhang Zhao refused. The next day, for Hongli, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Zhao and others set up a wine splash line, Huang Zhifu one provoked, two pleaded, plus Hongli, Zhang Prime Minister from the rubbing, this contemporary scholar finally agreed to return to Beijing, take the time to write "Yueyang Lou Ji", and then send someone to Yueyang. This is the origin of the carved screen that has been hung in Yueyang Tower for more than 200 years and deduces the story and legend of the true and false carved screen.

Miaojiang's affairs have been calmed, and the government and the opposition are excited. Even Yongzheng's dragon body seems to have improved. In the autumn and July, Ortai caused the Miao Rebellion in Guizhou due to the negligence of the military and political affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou, and gave the emperor an excerpt and asked to resign from the post of earl and scholar. Yongzheng promised to give fake recuperation, and still eat and drink. Liu Shiming, the governor of Ganzhou, robbed and disturbed the people with negligent soldiers, and handed it over to the Criminal Department for a decision.

In August, Yongzheng gave an edict, which was written by Zhang Tingyu, and the edict said:

In the past, the manager Miao Jiang was originally for the people's livelihood. It's the manager who is not good, to

Causing the rebel seedlings to come out in all directions, colluding with mature seedlings, and robbing residents. It is to reassure the people

The heart is a government of abuse. Back to the original intention, can you be ashamed? All Guizhou

This year's money and grain are exempt from traffic. He was exempted from the state and county for three years,

In order to show the meaning of caressing and compassion.

It can be seen from this that Miaojiang's affairs are in such an important position in the mind of Yongzheng when he is terminally ill.

The Miao rebellion has subsided, but the war in the northwest has dragged on. General Yue Zhongqi, who was sure of ten victories, was about to sweep away the stubborn enemy of Zhungeer, but the clown who jumped over the beam sent a special envoy to Beijing, saying that he wanted to meet the emperor and pass through Xining to see Yue Zhongqi. After Yue Zhongqi saw Telei, he suspected that he was planning to delay the army of Alabutan, and all the generals shouted in unison, kill Telei, don't fall for the plan. Telei swaggered and said:

"Sun Tzu's Art of War cloud: 'Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles', the general knows nothing about my Zhungeer situation. Tseling Alabutan died of illness in November last year, and now our Dzungar tribes are in power by the Great Khan Taiji, the Great Khan of Kaldan. The Great Khan Taiji of Galdance has always respected the central Taoist system, admired the Chinese civilization, and guarded the western frontier as the central barrier. I have come for peace. ”

Yue Zhongqi was suspicious, and immediately explained the details of Telei's coming to the court, and said: "Ce Alabutan is treacherous and cunning, and has no faith, and what Telei said is not credible. Please send Telei to the Dharma on the spot to boost morale. ”

Twelve days later, Yongzheng received an 800-mile urgent military letter from Yue Zhongqi. Yongzheng read the military book on the sickbed, and immediately made a Zhu criticism:

The husband surrenders the soldiers without a fight, and the victory is also. Unheard of in the East? Karma

Erdance Zero Fruit can guard the way of the ministers, and lie down to His Majesty, and I don't have to do it

Plough the court sweeps the hole and then fast. I will send Teretto to Beijing for personal inquiry

, our army postponed its westward advance. I am afraid that Telei will be deceitful, and we must not relax our vigilance

, you will negotiate the military deployment and mediation, and also enter Beijing with Telei.

Chin this!

Yue Zhongqi knew that this move was inappropriate, but his intention was unambiguous, and Yongzheng's stubborn temper was not allowed to violate it at all. had to arrange military affairs overnight, brought dozens of personal soldiers, and escorted Telei into Beijing on a fast horse.
