Chapter 19: Sudden Change
The residence of Lian Jing, Counselor of Uriya Sutai Manchuria.
"My lord, Lord Jiang, the superintendent of the Imperial Inspectorate, asked to see him, saying that there are some things on the accounts that I want to ask you." A door hurried in.
"Oh, please." Lian Jing immediately stood up, watched the door turn around to leave, and hurriedly stopped him, "Bring them to my study, you, keep the door, no one is allowed to come in without my permission." ”
After a while, I saw Jiang Guangnai walking in with Su Wen Shi Shiran, Lian Jing stood at the door of the second gate, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Jiang is coming to Saishe, and he is shining!" ”
"Lord Lian lifts," Jiang Guangnai said with a smile, "I should have come to visit a long time ago, but I can't blame Lord Lian for being entangled in business, right?" ”
"Master Jiang, where are these words?" Lian Jing smiled, "Please." ”
The three of them entered the study, Lian Jing closed the door, and said with a smile, "This is Lord Su Wensu, right?" ”
"Exactly, thank you Lian for saving your life." Su Wen just hugged his fists, but did not bow down, this guard saw the third level of the official, even in front of the governor and the governor, there is no need to bow down, not to mention that the guards at the sticky rod directly command the governor and governor when necessary.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, these days have made the two adults wronged." Lian Jing said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's okay to be compromised or not, it's just that this time is wasted, sitting in the city of sorrow, and it's difficult to move an inch." Jiang Guangnai was a little impatient.
Lian Jing looked at Su Wen, saw that his eyes were exquisite, and he was looking at himself with a bright eye, and remembered Shao Naiwen's words that day, and really made a judgment.
"Your Excellency doesn't need to be anxious, I've already met with Master Zhan," Lian Jing said with a smile, "The day after tomorrow is my birthday, I will personally invite Kuichang, as long as it is my birthday over the years, he will definitely come, this has become a routine, and when the time comes, I will be able to capture Kuichang once and for all." ”
"Are you sure?" Jiang Guangnai's breathing was a little short.
"As long as Kuichang dares to come to the banquet, he will be told to go and never return." Lian Jing said with a smile.
Jiang Guangnai looked at Su Wen, and Lian Jing also looked at Su Wen, "At that time, as long as Kuichang comes to the banquet and greets a few words, I will say that my aunt and wife are looking for me, and I will go out, as long as Master Su leads the troops and takes people." ”
"And what about when you get someone?" Su Wen asked.
"The people who came to the banquet the day after tomorrow are all Kuichang's cronies, and when the time comes, the dragons will be captured, and the dragons will be leaderless, and the city will be in chaos immediately," Lian Jing was confident, "As long as Lord Zhan announces the holy decree, the situation will be determined immediately." ”
Jiang Guangnai glanced at Su Wen, saw that he was silent, and said excitedly, "That lord, you are the first person who has contributed to the stability of Mobei, and you will definitely be able to shine in the annals of history and pass it on to future generations." ”
"I don't dare to do this," Lian Jing smiled and waved his hand, "As a courtier, I should relieve my worries for the monarch's father, this is just fulfilling the duty of a courtier." ”
The time is August, and the order belongs to mid-autumn.
At this time, although the city of Beijing is still sweaty weather, Chengde is already cool and cool.
Chengde, inside the Dehua Gate.
Clean water splashes the street, loess paves the ground, and the street is full of Chengde people who come to greet them.
General Fengtian, General Gubeikou Daying, Rehe Dutong, Karaqin Left Banner Green Camp Dutong, Mongolian kings, officials who came early from the yamen in the capital and officials of Rehe Yiganzi, under the arrangement of Sima Baishan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Cha Sihai, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, respectfully knelt down to welcome the holy car.
At two o'clock in the morning, only listen to the nine cannons outside the Dehua Gate, the sixty-four drums of the Changyin Pavilion play in unison, in the melodious drum music, the eight pairs of elephants carrying the incense Ding treasure bottle in the Dehua Gate kneel down in turn, and then, all kinds of treasure fans, letter flags, festivals, gold festivals, and banners pour into the door in turn, people are dazzled to see, but there is indescribable dignity and solemnity, indescribable glory and dignity.
These used to be the proper Dharma drivers, only to see that after the eight gate flags and the flags, one hundred and twenty guards holding Jinwu were led by James Shettu, as the lead, followed by one hundred and twenty eunuchs holding deacons, continued to pass through, and after another one hundred and eighty guards walked by, it was the Nine Dragons Chengyu with a balustrade palace style of Emperor Xuanguang.
Su Wen is also dressed in a five-grade military attache uniform, with a peacock feather on his head, riding a horse to follow the side of this Kowloon ride.
"Long live Emperor Xuanguang, long live, long live!" The whole city sounded a tsunami-like shout, for a time, the earth-shattering thunder, ground rats, two kicks and all kinds of fireworks exploded in the air, accompanied by this deafening shout, the whole Chengde was intoxicated, like madness.
Emperor Xuanguang ordered people to roll up the yellow curtain on the public opinion, he looked at the people of the city with a solemn expression and a slight smile, and stood up from time to time and waved to the people constantly, but the sound of long live was even more like a tsunami and swept the whole city.
Finally in the cheers and firecrackers to the main gate of the summer resort, the Mongolian kings have already knelt beside the gate stone lion, to stop to take the public opinion, Emperor Xuanguang walked out, personally picked up the front of the Prince Korqin Zasak, "Princes have worked hard all the way, you don't have to wait here, Ming'er is in the smoke wave to fast, I also have to set up a banquet to entertain, after the autumn hunt, I also have to accompany the Queen Mother to the Horqin grassland, this meeting is more, you should be the first to say goodbye." ”
Seeing that Yin Tang, Zhang Fengzao and his party followed, Emperor Xuanguang waved his hand, "Along the way, I sat a little tired, just take a walk, activities, you should also go and rest first." ”
Seeing him walking all the way, James Xie Tu and Su Wen immediately followed, James Xie Tu looked all the way around, but Su Wen was looking straight ahead.
"James Shetto, what are you looking at stupidly?" Emperor Xuanguang suddenly stopped, "It's not the first time I've come, it's Suwen, what's the matter, isn't the scenery here good?" ”
"Go back to the emperor, okay," Su Wen looked at James Xie Tu with a smile, "But the minister's duty is to protect the emperor's safety, whether it is outside the palace or inside the palace, it is not the minister's duty to look at the scenery." ”
He looked at several ministers in the study again, "These tigers and wolves devour the foundation of my Dajin Dynasty, and devour the blood and sweat of the common people. Let them be painful, dare not be greedy, do not want to be greedy, and cannot be greedy! ”
"Okay," Emperor Xuanguang nodded in praise, and turned to look at James Shet, who was still a hippie smile, "You, learn some." ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister is also looking around, there is no scenery in the minister's eyes, only the emperor's safety." James Shetto replied solemnly.
"Well, really?" Emperor Xuanguang smiled, "This serious ability hasn't grown much, but in the past few days, the ability to pat on the back has grown a lot." He smiled and continued on his way.
"Flattery is not ashamed of a gentleman." James Shetto squeezed his eyes at Su Wen.
"Loyal to the king, the responsibility of the courtiers." Su Wen also squeezed his eyes at him.
"Such a beautiful view, and your eyes are not blind, isn't it beautiful?" James Shetto looked at Xuanguang and whispered.
Su Wen smiled, "I have been to this place a few times in the last life, and I am very familiar with it. ”
James Shetu pursed his mouth, "Well, you can brag, wait until you get to the Horqin grassland, and get you a bunch of cattle for you to brag." ”
"What are you muttering?" Emperor Xuanguang looked at the two behind him.
"It's nothing, Su Wen said that he wanted to eat beef, I know that there is an old beef soup in Chengde that is doing well, and I am discussing to try it together." Jansshetu was not ashamed.
"Well, the food of the people is different from that in the palace, and the flavor is also good," Emperor Xuanguang seemed to be very tempted, "After lunch, the Minister of Xuanyi Zhengwang, the Minister of the Upper Study, Qian Mu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Che of the Criminal Department, and Nuo Min of Dali Temple went to the Yanxun Mountain Pavilion to meet him." ”
"Yes." James Shetto hurriedly replied.
"Your Majesty, you are tired all the way, and you don't rest?" Su Wen whispered.
"How much government affairs are waiting?" James Shetto seemed to be helpless, "This summer vacation is actually just a change of place to deal with government affairs." ”
The two whispered, while following the footsteps of Emperor Xuanguang bypassed the instrument gate, and walked into a courtyard, only to see that the black pine in the courtyard can reach the sky, but the canopy is huge, covering the sky and the sun, and on the front door are four big characters of mud and gold - "ten thousand pine wind".
Well, it's going to be windy!
…………………………………
…………………………………
"I, I want to fight tigers and wolves!"
Emperor Xuanguang sat on the imperial couch, looking at the lakes and mountains outside, thousands of rocks and ravines, and said softly.
Through the east window, the autumn trees and the blue lake can be seen at a glance, Zhang Fengzao seems to be immersed in this wonderful scenery, as if he did not hear Xuanguang speak.
"The emperor is thinking about the autumn hunt," Chang Adai said busily, "Ming'er, you want to meet the Mongolian kings, and it is tentatively scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and you will leave for Horqin immediately after the autumn hunt." ”
Emperor Xuanguang looked at Chang Adai and said slowly, "This autumn hunt is hunting jackals, tigers and leopards on the ground, I am talking about the tigers above the court, and the wolves above the court!" ”
Everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink, although Su Wen, who was standing outside the Xuan, was standing upright and not moving, he was also quietly listening to the conversations of several top figures of the Great Jin Dynasty inside, but he could only hear the sound of the wind in his ears, but he couldn't hear anyone inside taking over Emperor Xuanguang's words.
Yin Tang looked at Zhang Fengzao, and saw that Zhang Fengzao was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this old man has gone through three dynasties, and he has really cultivated to perfection.
Emperor Xuanguang stood up and paced slowly in the Xuan, "I, I have succeeded to the throne for nineteen years, I have been lenient in my administration, treated me with benevolence, never criticized the ministers, and never criticized the ministers, but the sky has eyes, the ancestors have spirits, what has become of the current court!" ”
"In the past 19 years, the governor, the governor, the Taoist platform and even the small officials of the prefecture and county, all of them are corrupt, all of them are extravagant, and they are more pompous and generous when they go out on patrol, and they receive red envelopes and ask for benefits during the holidays. …… I heard that during the Chinese New Year, the city of Beijing was full of cars and horses, and the provincial highway government came to send gifts and congratulations! Do you have a share of them too? ”
"The ministers are afraid, this trend is gradually becoming a trend, and the ministers are not exempt from vulgarity." Seeing that no one dared to respond, Yin Tang replied.
"That's not all," Xuanguang looked at Yintang, "If you are promoted and transferred, and the central government does things, it will cost you more!" Is there such a thing? His voice was muffled.
"The minister has never interfered in the affairs of the court with his authority," Yin Tang still had a solemn face, "Even the ministers present have never had such rumors in their ears. ”
Emperor Xuanguang glanced at the ministers who were sitting in danger, "I, I can trust you, or I wouldn't have announced that you would come to the meeting, but, under this kind of atmosphere, there are very few people left in the court who are clean and self-loving, if you want to clean yourself up, then Shangxian regards them as aliens, and colleagues regard them as enemies, and there is no place for good people to stand above this court!" This is already said very harshly, and this is also what Yin Tang and Wang Huizu usually discuss in private but dare not, can't and don't want to say.
"The big law is not incorruptible, the upper line is effective, the upper line is the lower one, above the court, the provincial capital, the state and the county, the officials are not clear, what is the people's livelihood?"
"In the past six months, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has investigated and punished many officials, and there is a ballad circulating outside," Emperor Xuanguang read softly, "...... Grass and trees are Rong, white jade is a horse for the hall gold, Afang Palace is three hundred miles, can not hold a bell in Shuntianfu, the East China Sea lacks a white jade bed, the dragon king comes to invite the incognito king, the world is a good article, pearls are like earth and gold like iron. Look at the ministers sitting there, "What a level of extravagance and desire!" ”
Su Wen was happy in his heart, and hurriedly stood up straighter, but these four lines of songs were his handwriting, and he didn't expect them to reach the ears of Emperor Xuanguang.
"Well, not to mention the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let's just say that above the current court, this small people look at the officials, and the small officials look at the big officials. …… Well, my dynasty has a system, and it is forbidden to wear black fox skins except for princes and county kings, but look at how many people wearing black fox skins are there in this court! I also heard that someone wore a feather pipe used by Hua Ling, and one was worth 13,000 taels of silver! He looked at Gao Sai, but Gao Sai didn't dare to touch his eyes, "It's these first- and second-grade masters who have brought the atmosphere to ruin!" ”
"I heard that there are 365 pearls hanging in the mountain of Shangshu in the household department, and they are changed every day. It is said that the lowest of these pearls is also worth 1,000 taels of silver, that is, these pearls are worth at least 365,000 taels of silver,...... Well, how much silver is his Dai Lu for a year, this is not a corrupt official! Emperor Xuanguang turned his head sharply and stared at this minister, "Investigate, investigate immediately, in the future, if there is corruption, whether it is the prince or the governor, there is no cap, and it will be investigated to the end!" ”
All the ministers stood up, and everyone knew that Emperor Xuanguang was going to rectify the rule of officials, and they thought that they would also discuss it after the Empress Dowager returned to Luan.
Tateyama, without a doubt, is definitely the first tiger to fight!
"I also heard that Prince Zheng invited a banquet, and the people who came to the banquet had more than 60 kinds of furs, such as the tip of the bird's tongue, the tip of the chicken heart, the tip of the Yunnan tongue, the tip of the phoenix eye, the silver needle sable, the Baylor sable, the golden monkey skin, etc., can their Dai Lu afford it?" Seeing that Yintang was about to stand up, Emperor Xuanguang waved his hand, "Mu Yin, the governor of Nanhe, is wearing a fur, and he has sent someone to carry a lot of money directly to the gate to buy the whole fox skin that he hunted that year, check, check his family background!" ”
