Chapter 18 Cutting leeks
When the emperor sent a three-way army to attack various places from three directions at the same time, it immediately turned the Manchu Qing into a real war machine, you must know that the power accumulated by the emperors of the three dynasties of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be described as very terrifying.
And the reason why the emperor attacked so recklessly was that he didn't want the wealth and power he had accumulated to be lost by Qianlong, and he felt that it was better to use it all for his own territory.
"Your Majesty, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and the money and food consumed in the next war must be very terrifying." Lao Ba Yunxi immediately looked at the emperor in front of him and talked about the worries in his heart.
"Eighth child, Zhang Tingyu, what do you all think?"
"Your Majesty, we have discussed that we must increase taxes, but the Holy Ancestor Emperor has issued an edict never to increase taxes, so we and the Military Aircraft Department are very difficult."
"Eighth child, Zhang Tingyu, sometimes I can't figure out if there is something wrong with your brain?"
"Huh? Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. ”
"Humph! Why do you always stare at the melons and dates in the fields and pockets of the common people? ”
"This? Isn't this true of all dynasties and dynasties? ”
"I have already thought about this issue, which is not much better than the collection of agricultural taxes, whether the official gentry pays grain or collects commercial taxes, I see that you just like to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them."
"This ...... There is a lot of resistance to this. ”
"Forced! All those who violated the law and refused to cooperate were exterminated, and an anti-corruption bureau was set up, and all officials who violated the law and discipline were exterminated. ”
"Huh?"
"Humph! In my eyes, dogs should be loyal, and once they have selfishness, it's useless to keep them. ”
"Your Majesty, when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang used peeling and filling the grass, he failed to stop the corruption of officials!" 33
"Haha, how did I say that corruption will be extinct? I want to treat all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials as leeks, and feed my Manchu army one after another. ”
"What? Leek? ”
"That's right! In my eyes, they are all delicious and delicious leeks, have you forgotten the huge wealth that Li Zicheng confiscated from various noble officials in the capital when the Ming Dynasty fell? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! But this will cause the officials to revolt. ”
"Humph! A bunch of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, and they really regard themselves as masters. ”
"Uh......"
Seeing that the emperor actually exercised such tyrannical methods, Lao Ba Yunyu and Zhang Tingyu trembled with fear, it turned out that they were just lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of the emperor.
Then the emperor immediately announced all the national policies, whether it was the official gentry to pay grain in one piece, or the imposition of commercial taxes, it was the cake in the hands of the scholars, but in the face of the butcher's knife in the emperor's hand, he could only obediently obey.
As for the newly established Anti-Corruption Bureau, it immediately exerted its terrifying power, confiscating four or five corrupt officials every month, and such a fixed sense of rhythm is like a butcher's knife hanging over the heads of officials.
The officials naturally carried out any orders of the emperor without discount, just to make the emperor happy and not to cut off their heads.
……
In order to make the emperor have less energy to rectify the officials of the previous dynasty, the children of the Manchu Eight Banners and the empress dowager worked together to stuff a lot of women into the emperor.
"Noble Chun, how is your body recovering recently?" The emperor looked at the noble man in front of him and asked with concern.
"Back to the emperor, everything is fine with the concubines, and they must be back to normal soon."
"That's good! I've been missing you a lot all this time. ”
"Ahem! Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be so partial to the noble people, which really made the concubines in the palace envious. At this time, Concubine Duan, who was visiting the door, said with emotion.
"Concubine Duan, I have seen that you look good recently, why did you come to Chun Guiren today?" At this time, the emperor noticed Concubine Duan on the side, and couldn't help but be attracted by Concubine Duan's temperament.
"Back to the emperor, the concubine heard that the noble man was killed by a traitor, so she thought about coming over to visit."
"Concubine Duan has a heart."
Then the emperor sat here for a while, and then left all kinds of precious supplements and left.
"Su Peisheng, go to Concubine Duan tonight."
"Yes! Emperor. ”
This is the first time the emperor has seen it since he crossed, and he immediately felt that Concubine Duan had a kind of charm, so he couldn't help but want to be fortunate in this rare concubine.
Although Concubine Duan claimed that she was frail and sickly, the emperor knew that she had always been disguised, after all, the grievances between Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua Nian Shilan were too deep.
If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Hua Nian Shilan had been beaten into the cold palace, and all of Nian Shilan's reliance on the Nian family had also been raided and wiped out, Concubine Duan, who had always been cautious, would definitely not come forward.
And as soon as today's Concubine Duan saw the emperor who she hadn't seen for many years, she immediately felt a huge change in the emperor's body, as if she had completely changed to a stranger.
Then she heard that the emperor would think of summoning her, and she was even more puzzled by the concubine Duan, who knew her husband best, she didn't think that the emperor would be interested in her, an old woman in her forties.
"Your Majesty, the concubines knock on the emperor."
"Concubine Duan, come forward."
"Yes! Emperor. Concubine Duan endured her stunned and dazed and slowly approached the emperor.
The emperor has always been staring at the sick beauty in front of him, but he feels more and more that she is the hidden beauty, and he grabbed Concubine Duan's right hand and pulled it into his arms.
"Ah......h
"Yuebin, how long has it been since we've been so close?" Looking at Concubine Duan Qi Yuebin who was sitting in his arms, the emperor looked at Concubine Duan with a smile and asked.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are frail and sick, and they have been unable to serve the emperor, so I ask the emperor to forgive his sins."
"Qi Yuebin, don't pretend in front of me anymore, Nian Shilan can't pose any threat to you anymore."
“……”
"What? Don't you really think that there is something inside and outside the palace that can be hidden? ”
"Your Majesty, sometimes you still need to be confused, after all, when the water is clear, there are no fish."
"But what if I don't want to force myself to pretend to be confused anymore?"
"Your Majesty, it is very dangerous for you to do this, and the national policy you recently implemented in the previous dynasty will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction and rebellion of many people."
"That's right! I'm really in a dangerous situation right now, so would you like to come and protect me? ”
"Huh?"
"The sword is easy to dodge, and the arrow is difficult to defend! On the contrary, I am very worried about the filth of the harem, and it would be crazy for you women to be ruthless. ”
"Your Majesty, thank you for your importance, but these things should be entrusted to the queen."
"Ulanara Yixiu? She's just a self-righteous fool, thinking she's clever at her own means, but in my eyes she's a clown. ”
“……”
"Yuebin, if I think about it, only you can help me, just like when you carried the black pot for me and was targeted by Concubine Hua."
"The Emperor's ......"
"Hehe, you can think about this slowly, now it's better to rest with me."
"Huh? Your Majesty, concubines can't do it! The safflower soup that Concubine Hua forcibly poured back then had indeed made the concubine lose her fertility. ”
"I don't care! I just want a woman who truly loves me. ”
"The Emperor's ......"
At this time, Concubine Duan was undoubtedly very moved, and she felt very comfortable being looked at by the emperor for the first time, and she couldn't help but really consider the emperor's instructions.
……
Some people died, but not completely......
