Zhang Tingyu suppressed his voice and tried his best to use a calm and gentle tone to narrate Chen Tian Wenjing's details of Shanxi's shortfall. He knew that Emperor Yongzheng's usual solemnity and coldness were all made by his own patience. In fact, he was happy and angry in his heart, and his love and hatred were revealed from time to time, and that was his true nature. This matter is not only about his face, but also about the stability of the court. It's not as simple as Sun Jiagan's big trouble with the household department, in case the measures are missed, it will cause the rest of the provincial governors to be shocked, and there will be a lot of trouble between the brothers in Beijing. I'm in Zaifu, how to clean up? Therefore, after finishing Tu Lichen's recital, Zhang Tingyu held Yongzheng with both hands and added: "Long live, the rejuvenation of the army in the west is an urgent task." Although the matter in Shanxi is big, the slave thinks that he can deal with it calmly, and asks for a long live holy candle! ”

"Hmm." Yongzheng looked in a trance, seemed to listen to it and didn't seem to pay attention, his thin white teeth clenched, stared ahead, and took the piece with a little hesitation, somehow, his hands trembled a little: "It's over?" Promise...... Did Nomin have an excerpt from the debate? Zhang Tingyu looked back at Long Keduo and Ma Qi, and when he saw that both of them shook their heads, he said, "The minions didn't see Nuo Min's excerpts, and they handed them in about a day or two." It's just that Tian Wenjing is holding 470 silver taels of IOUs from merchants in the provincial capital, with the seal of the Shanxi Domain's Yamen. It's ironclad evidence. Nuo Min can only make a fuss about the fraud of his subordinates when he neglects to detect it, and this slave is expected. Yongzheng listened, swallowed his saliva, turned his face and asked Yun Xi: "Old eight, what do you think?" ”

Yun Xi is full of wishes at this moment: you have just commended Nuo Min as the "No. 1 Fuchen in the world", and you will slap yourself! What's more, Nuo Min was recommended by Nian Qianyao, and it is difficult to say what has to do with it, maybe it is like the household department clearing the treasury and checking the accounts, and it is not known if it is checked and finally found on the emperor's head...... Yun Yu wished that Yongzheng would be very angry, but after all, he was deep in the city, and said with a smile because he did not show the mountains and water: "Brother Zhang Hengchen thinks that what Zhang Hengchen said is very true, this is indeed the first case in the world." No matter how Nuomin argues, it is difficult to escape the words 'Gu En's dereliction of duty'. What's even more worrying, Nian Qianyao entered the Qinghai traitors, and food and salary were the top priority. If the huge Shanxi case is lightly let go, I am afraid that the errand of the provinces to check the deficit will be slackened, and it will be even more difficult to sustain the grain and salary in the future. Therefore, major events and urgent matters may seem unrelated, but they are actually the same thing. Long Keduo has already been separated from the "Eight Masters Party" because he helped Emperor Yongzheng ascend to the pole, but he is even more reluctant to make meritorious contributions to the west and be qualified to compete with him for favor in the future. Listening to Yun Xi's words, the whole article was full of Yan Nuomin's meaning, but he didn't even mention a word, he was really kind and eloquent, Long Keduo couldn't help but glance at Yun Xi in admiration, and Qia Yunxi's eyes also swept over, and the four eyes flashed away.

"The minions think they should put the urgent matter first." Ma Qi didn't pay attention to other people's thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "It's still Tingyu who said the right thing." This matter is pursued exhaustively, Shanxi definitely does not have a good official, and Nuo Min does everything possible to make things difficult for Tian Wenjing, and it is definitely not the word 'dereliction of duty' that can cover up his crime. Millions of taels of silver, just say that you can't overlook? However, the slaves still thought that they could not handle this case in a big way in front of them, causing the officialdom of the southeastern provinces to shake, and the people's hearts were in danger, who still had the heart to handle the affairs of supporting the army? ”

Yongzheng listened to the discussion of a few courtiers, his mind seemed to be a little calmer, he turned around and took a sip of tea, sat back on the seat, and said with a smile: "You guys didn't say anything, I know in my heart that this is still in the way of my face." Just now he issued an edict to praise him for being the 'first minister', and he made a mistake from the bottom! He suddenly retracted his smile, and his eyes emitted a dark light of iron gray, "According to your opinion, either Nuo Min will be punished for a misdemeanor of 'negligence', and the officials below will be severely punished for the crime of blinding the constitution, inviting merit and making progress, and being greedy for ink, or the court will pretend to be confused and wait for the war in the west to be over." Isn't that so? ”

"Yes!" Seeing Yongzheng's solemn expression and stern tone, the four of them did not dare to stand up and reply any longer, so they knelt down and kowtowed together, "Long live the Hadith, please!" ”

"Neither is advisable!" Yongzheng sneered, stared at the big glass window and said grimly, "Whoever sweeps away my dignity, I can't tolerate him!" Nuo Min, I never expected to dare to act so recklessly, this is not 'drowning', this is bullying! Murder is forgivable, but it is unreasonable! At the beginning, Nian Qianyao recommended him, because he saw that he was still working hard to run errands on the grain road in Jiangxi. The Holy Grandfather once said to me that this person has nothing to show for it, and it cannot be reused. I strongly recommend that he be a feudal official, he does this, he is responsible for the Holy Ancestor, the middle is responsible for my body, and the lower is responsible for Nian Qianyao, bullying the ancestors, bullying the monarch and bullying friends-" As he spoke, he choked on his breath, coughed violently twice, and suddenly hit the case with a "bang", his face was already red, and he said angrily: "Such a bastard thing, can it be indulgent?" I indulged him, and the other governors did the same to me, how should I deal with it? ”

It was the first time for the four ministers to see Yongzheng attack, but they didn't expect him to be so hideous when he became angry, and they couldn't help but shudder, and knelt on the ground with their robes and kowtowed repeatedly. Yongzheng, the raw material of Yunxi, must have his own dignity, give Nian Qianyao a favor, lightly handle Nuo Min, and re-investigate the rest of the officials in Shanxi, I can't imagine that Yongzheng is so disrespectful. But this time, it just coincided with his own opinion, and it was spread out, but the emperor adopted his own opinion, how many people would this offend? …… He swallowed dryly, not knowing what to say. Just thinking about how to reply, Long Keduo paused: "What the Lord said is very true! If it weren't for the fact that from the governor to the feudal department and the officials of the province, they colluded to bully the monarch, how could Tian Wenjing have investigated again and again to no avail? Long live the ninefold height, the insight of thousands of miles, the subtle vision, the slave admires and admires the five bodies to the ground! That being the case, the slave thought that the current edict would take the Shanxi County Order and above the officials who were lacking into Beijing and hand it over to the Criminal Department for questioning! Zhang Tingyu frowned and pondered: "I'm afraid this is too much." Some officials are just coercing. Besides, the autumn drought in northern Shanxi Province still depends on them to help the victims. If there are too many people, it is easy to cause panic among officials in other provinces, and it will not be good if it affects the overall situation. Yun Xi only hoped that the chaos would be as big as possible, because he said coldly on the side: "This is the time to rectify the rule of officials, which is exactly in line with the emperor's purpose of 'Yongzheng to change the yuan and refresh the rule of officials'." Can there be good results in using corrupt officials to help disaster victims? He kowtowed, straightened up and said to Yongzheng: "Long live don't have to worry about whether there is a shortage of officials - in the past, the queen of heaven killed corrupt officials like mowing grass, and there was no shortage of officials in the world. There are more than 1,000 candidates and donors in Beijing, and they can fill the official vacancies in Shanxi. The emperor Enke is imminent, and the second and third class jinshi of the new Dengke are just in time to go on a business trip. The younger brother thought that it was not enough to purge the rulers of Shanxi. At the moment, the three of them have different opinions, you and I have their own words, although they are not moved, but no one is willing to give in.

"Ma Qi," Yongzheng listened, and suddenly turned his face and asked, "Why don't you speak?" Ma Qi hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "The slaves really dare not deceive the master, and the servants are justified in what they say, and it is difficult to distinguish for a while, and they do not dare to attach themselves." Hearing him answer like this, Yun Xi couldn't help but smile and said, "Ma Qi has experience in sitting in the class room, are you slippery or capable?" ”

Ma Qi glanced at Yun Xi and said, "When the emperor asks, what should the courtiers think in their hearts and how to answer." This is not the same thing as 'slippery' and 'smart'. After that, he kowtowed again and said: "The thirteenth master didn't come, he is also the prince who walks in the study, why doesn't the emperor listen to what the thirteenth master has to say?" ”

"I've made up my mind about this." Yongzheng smiled slightly, "The officials of Shanxi Tong Province are probably good, and the blame lies with Nuo Min." As a governor, he is the emperor of the soil in Shanxi, thinking that the emperor is far away, and he does this kind of lawless deception. The fault of the Shanxi officials was that Innuomin was the first emperor to be simple, and he was deeply encouraged, and he had a mind of 'enjoying the shade under the big tree', and no one dared to come forward to fight a lawsuit with him, and he could only say the three words 'no fight'. I also hate them for not being angry, but think about it in all fairness, if today's officials, except for Li Wei, Li Fu, Xu Wenyuan, and Lu Long, how many are there who are 'angry'? Therefore, hatred is hate, and it cannot be dealt with strictly. The bigger the officials, the more they will be done, and the states and counties will not have to be difficult for them. ”

This discussion was purely based on the gap in the debate between the ministers, and it was reasonable, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Zhang Tingyu felt that Emperor Yongzheng was a little too tolerant, and opened his mouth to speak, but Yongzheng spoke first: "Hengchen." ”

"The minister is here!"

"Arise and draw up your will."

"Piercing!"

Yongzheng carefully plucked the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Six hundred miles to step up the Shanxi Xuanzhi Qincha Tulichen: Nuo Min was deeply favored by the first emperor and me, and he should have cleansed his liver with his heart and refined his ambition in order to serve the imperial court." It is a despicable behavior, and it is gracious and flattering, both drowning in the front, deceiving the king in the back, blaming the people, and trapping the ministers. Since the incident, there is no intention of confessing guilt, and it is really unexpected to be stubborn and shameless! And I commend it, and I want to put me in a place where I have no place to be ashamed. I don't know how to deal with such sins! It's just that I want to be tolerant, even if the law of the country can tolerate you as an animal, how can there be human feelings and heavenly principles - why did God put a human skin on you!? As he spoke, he became more and more excited, and the hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and his face became unusually pale. Zhang Tingyu did not add points to the edict in the draft, but this edict was difficult for him - how to polish the vernacular after the previous text? He soaked the ink, and saw that although Yongzheng was sitting upright, he was so angry that his facial features were misplaced, because he didn't dare to speak, he only recorded Yongzheng's words, thinking that it was okay to do this, so he asked him to see the new emperor's bones! Just thinking about it, Yongzheng raised his voice: "That is, Tu Lichen picked up his seal letter on the spot, stripped his yellow coat, removed his title, and locked it into Beijing Jiaotong Dali Temple for inquiry!" I know the customs of bastards in other provinces, and all officials are dismissed, because they are afraid that they will be reinstated in the future, and they will be sent off with alcohol, and they will be given away by ceremonies, so as to seek a different day. You can tell this bastard that if there is something, you just have to fill in and return Nuo Min, and Nuo Min will never recover, and whether he can protect the Nine Clans is also between the knowable and unknowable - whoever dares to do such an ugly state, I will be investigated, and the deficit in Shanxi will be returned by you, the 'rich official'! After he finished speaking in one breath, he took a sip of tea and stared at Zhang Tingyu. When Zhang Tingyu heard it, it was still a mixture of white and white, so he still had to grit his teeth and record it. Yun Yu wanted to laugh when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth moved and retracted.

"Hooray!" Ma Qi said beside him, "Although Nuo Min committed a crime, he is still a court official, can he be made a little more dignified, so as not to soothe the rest of the governors?" "A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated, right?" Yongzheng turned his head, "Ma Qi, you don't understand, can someone like Nuo Min be called a 'shi'?" He's only a dog! The evidence and material evidence of his case have been transferred to Beijing, and I have insulted him heavily-because he insulted me first! The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death, this is where the program is always located, and the righteousness of the end of heaven and earth. If Nuo Min not only breaks the law, but also violates the law, he can still be forgiven, and if he violates reason, he will not escape my punishment! ”

Killing people is not enough to land, but Yongzheng has to practice his personality together, practice and then kill. Everyone has long known that Yongzheng is mean by nature, and today he really saw it, and they all swallowed a mouthful of saliva helplessly, and no one wanted to dismiss it and shameless.

"This matter is forgivable by others, and the Shanxi political envoy Luo Jing is hard to blame." Yongzheng said slowly, "With Luo Jingge going to his post, he and Nuo Min went to Beijing with a yellow flail to investigate, and how to punish it will be decided after the ministry discusses." The rest of them will be demoted to two levels and fined for two years. The chief officer of the provincial department and the yamen shall be demoted by one level and fined for one year; The prefects of each prefecture are admonished and demerited by the officials, and the following county orders are not asked. After Zhang Tingyu finished writing, he asked: "In this way, the governor of Shanxi and the yamen of the feudal division are vacant, please order, where will the official be sent to take over the seal?" Yongzheng smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Naturally, Tian Wenjing took over the seal, temporarily put aside the Shanxi Governor's Yamen, and discussed it separately after the case was cleared. ”

No one speaks, but not speaking is also an attitude. Yongzheng also seemed to feel the pressure in this silence, so he also stopped. The strange thing is that as soon as he stopped, everyone immediately felt a cold pressure hitting their bones, and people's hearts immediately froze into a ball. However, Yongzheng's unconventional promotion was too much after all, and none of the ministers present agreed, and they were unwilling to give in, and they didn't dare to come forward to fight, so they had to sit silently. For a while, the Heart Cultivation Hall was so silent that a needle could be heard on the ground, but the iron horse next to the corner of the hall was occasionally blown by the wind.

"If you don't have anything to say, it's just that." Yongzheng said lightly, "Kneel down!" ”

"The minister has something to say!"

Zhang Tingyu suddenly thought of the heart-to-heart words when he met Yongzheng alone last time, and said proudly: "The minister thinks that Tian Wenjing should not be promoted too quickly!" Yongzheng listened, stared at Zhang Tingyu with gloomy eyes for a long time, and asked coldly, "Why?" Ma Qi also plucked up his courage and said: "Long live the new treasure, it is not appropriate to open the door for officials to enter." ”

"Enter?" Yongzheng immediately ridiculed each other, "Everyone doesn't want to make progress, and they are qualified to be officials, and they can govern the country and level the world?" ”

Zhang Tingyu seized the gap in Yongzheng's words, and immediately put up a sentence: "The ministers of the dynasty such as Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi are all in a word, they are all in a high position, chaotic government and harm the country, the lessons of the past are not far away, please live Mingjian!" ”

"Didn't you also turn out to be a Zhongshu Jun, and you also moved to your official position within three months, and entered the study as a minister of Zaifu? There are also famous ministers Guo Xiu and famous generals Zhou Peigong, aren't they all the first emperors who pulled out the mud to get the pearl luminous? Yongzheng stared at Zhang Tingyu and said with a smile, but his tone became more and more aggressive: "Where do you put yourself when you talk like this?" ”

Zhang Tingyu was stunned by these words, his own resume can indeed be regarded as "stubborn", but he still thinks that Yongzheng's words are not good, and he hurriedly kowtows and says: "The courtiers are in love, it is the first emperor's wrong love." Long live thinking about it, there are dozens or hundreds of cases of court officials going out to announce their decrees every year, and once this case is opened, everyone can intervene in local military and civil affairs and even financial resources at will, how can officials outside do things well? Tian Wenjing passed by Shanxi and found Nuo Min's traitor, which was supposed to be played by the imperial court, and the imperial court sent a special trip to clean it up. The officer actually used the Qincha to guard without authorization and acted beyond his authority! This move was originally guilty, and there is nothing wrong with the decree before long live - thinking that his loyalty to the country, the suspicion is reasonable, the investigation is well-founded, and the original crime can show its merits, and it will suddenly rise to a big position, and the crowd will take effect, how difficult it is to deal with the aftermath! ”

This makes perfect sense. Shengtian Wenjing, the proclamation officials who went out of Beijing in the future swarmed to learn, and the sky was full of Qincha officials, and they also asked foreign officials to do nothing? Yongzheng suddenly hesitated. Zhang Tingyu saw that Yongzheng was silent, knowing that he appreciated Tian Wenjing and wanted to promote him to an official, so he said calmly: "Tian Wenjing is serious in his work, dedicated to sharing worries for the court, and in addition to a giant beetle for the court, the ministers are also very appreciative, and there are too few state officials who are willing to do such errands now." Banzai wants him to be promoted faster, as quickly as possible. In addition, Tian has only been a Beijing official for many years, and he has never experienced the practice of the state government, and the government affairs of a province are suddenly pressed on his shoulders, can he take it? Ma Qilong Keduo also kowtowed to "Long live Jiana Zhang Tingyu's words", but Yun Xi felt disappointed for a while, so he had to echo: "What Hengchen said is, please be cautious." ”

"I'm tired." Yongzheng was busy arranging the ears and eyes of various places for several days, reviewing the first batch of secret folds they sent in, in fact, he slept less than Zhang Tingyu, at this time, the audience persuaded themselves one after another, knowing that they were thinking about this matter to the left, because they moved off the kang, stretched their bodies behind their hands, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I think about it!" Prince Yi is talking to Nian Qianyao about things. Ming'er Qianyao will return to the camp to lead the troops to fight, this is the major policy of the imperial court, and the matter of sending troops and horses has to be auspicious. The eighth brother told the third brother that he was about the fourteenth brother, and a few of you set up wine for him to be strong and strong - Ming'er sent Luhe Post to the suburbs of Ming'er! Let's be tired! ”

Ma Qi was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and said busily: "Ming'er seems to be in a hurry to leave; The minister thought that Qin Tianjian should choose an auspicious day, plan a book ceremony, and send it out of Beijing. "If you want to win this time, you can choose an auspicious day if you behead and drain blood." Yongzheng lowered his head and thought for a while, "Tell Nian Qianyao that the hundred officials who go out of Beijing will not send him, and they will not show up their manners." After winning this battle, I personally welcomed him into Beijing. If he wants to humiliate the country's mourners, he doesn't have to ask for guilt, and he doesn't have to think about the name, just ask Yue Zhongqi to come to Beijing with his head! Zhang Tingyu's delicate mind has seen that Yongzheng does not want to publicize the big thing in Qinghai, so as not to be embarrassed by the future war, because he said: "Long live this idea is very true." The edict of sending troops has already been clearly issued, and Nian is just returning to Beijing to report on his work, and it is appropriate to listen to the instructions of the lord. It seems that it is better not to say the words of the national mourner, and at this moment it should be mainly to encourage its spirit, I don't know what to think? ”

"Just according to your words, tell him to do a good job, and don't have any worries." Yongzheng nodded with a smile, walked a few steps, and turned back to the entrance of the hall and said: "I have thought about it, Tian Wenjing will make up for Chongqing Mansion Yin, and simply fulfill your dignity, and I will allow you!" With that, Fang slowly walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Li Dequan Xingnian and all the eunuchs were waiting under the east corridor of the main hall of the Yangxin Palace, and when they saw Yongzheng pacing out, on a cold day, they only wore a blue silk wool sheepskin robe, and a blue silk wool sheepskin coat was put on the outside, and they were busy asking Qian'er to say goodbye. Li Dequan said: "Master, it's so cold today, the wind is sloshing, and the skating at the bottom of the eaves is not dripping, so let's add a big piece to the master?" ”

"No, you don't." Yongzheng agreed simply, took out his pocket watch to look at it, looked up at the gray sky covered by clouds and mist, he wanted to stretch his waist, his arms were open and loose, and he walked one end and said from one end to the other: "I want to take a few steps, don't call Chengyu, and don't want so many people to follow, just the two of you." ”

Li Dequan hurriedly agreed and waved everyone away, and followed with Xing Nian behind Yongzheng, and the guard at the door of the weeping flower, Zhang Wuge, saw him come out, and kowtowed and said, "Master, want to walk around at will?" The minions follow! Yongzheng smiled: "No need, right? Where did the accident happen in the palace? ”

"Master, that's not what I said." Fifth Brother Zhang got up and said: "The master has a will in front of him, the big inner is good at catching the camp and the Yulin army is under the command of Long Keduo, and the guards are under the control of Ma Qi Zhang Tingyu. The two Zhongtang have three orders and five declarations, no matter where the master goes, the four guards of Fifth Brother Zhang, Suo Lun, Delentai and Liu Tiecheng must follow one. Slaves are also on orders. ”

Yongzheng stared at Fifth Brother Zhang and didn't say anything more, and walked out of the Hanging Flower Gate to the north.

It was noon, and the eunuchs of the palace were busy waiting for their own sons, and there was no sound in the alley, and behind the dim thin clouds was a round and dull sun. The faint shadows of the palace walls were smeared on the brick floor, and occasionally a flock of crows pecked at something underground, and when they saw the four of them coming, they flew up with a "sigh", hovering and falling in the sky, adding a little vitality to this silent deep palace. Yongzheng didn't look back, he walked steadily, for a long time, Fang looked at the sky casually and said:

"Fifth Brother Zhang-oh, you are the guard selected by Kangxi in the forty-sixth year?"

"Long live, the slave is the ...... that Kangxi saved from the killing field in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi's forty-sixth year, and the first emperor saved him from the killing field" Fifth Brother Zhang thought of the old master Kangxi, and his voice couldn't help but become hoarse and choked, "Forty-seven years from the Shanpu camp to make up for the inner as a guard, long live the year to patrol the Rehe, and be promoted to the third-class shrimp ...... of the slave"

Yongzheng shook his body and said with a smile: "You are so blessed!" ”

"Master......"

"Someone has a copy of you, saying that you are squatting in the class room and raising a singer in the prison?"

Fifth Brother Zhang suddenly blushed, and said loudly: "I beg the master to point out the black bricks, it is the men who argue in front of the master together, the slave suffered a wrongful lawsuit back then, and there was a woman who followed the slave, and the slave is now a woman." She was originally a singer, her parents died of illness, and she was sold to bury her father with grass labels, but it was my father who funded her and fulfilled her filial piety. The slave is guilty of the death penalty for others, she heard about it, went all the way to Beijing, and went to prison with some silver and followed me, saying that my Zhang family is so virtuous, and I shouldn't break off...... You want to give me a baby! ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Yongzheng suddenly stood on his feet, turned his face and smiled, "Whoever sues, I can't tell you, this is the rule." I asked you about this, and you both said the same. This complainant is a boring person, or has some other thoughts, and wants to instigate me to demolish the city! I've already pressed the fold down—I understand that even better. You are full of kindness, filial piety, loyalty and martyrdom, and I still want to commend you! What kind of product are you now? So saying, he paced forward again. Fifth Brother Zhang hurriedly replied: "The slave is a first-class guard, and the official character is the third grade." Yongzheng smiled and glanced back at Xing Nian, "You go back and pass the decree to Long Keduo, Fifth Brother Zhang is also an old guard for more than ten years, and he has entered the second grade!" ”

Xing Nian hurriedly replied: "Yes!" Without waiting for the fifth brother to thank him, Yongzheng smiled again: "Your wife, Mrs. Jinfeng, is a noble wife!" How ugly is it to say 'my woman'? Nor is it elegant! The fifth brother had to talk about it, because Yongzheng was still leaving, it was inconvenient to thank him, so he only cried: "Master...... You're so hearty...... Alas...... What shall the slave repay? They all said—" He suddenly felt a loss of speech, and he covered it.

"People say I'm mean, right?" Yongzheng was in a very good mood, strolling and pacing, and seemed to say to himself, "This reputation is not good, what do I not know?" Some people are clever and can't understand the affairs of the world today, but they can be lenient. I am the Son of Heaven and rich from all over the world, so it's not easy to be gracious? But have you read "Zuo Biography"? There is a saying in it, 'Xiao Hui is not cured, and the people are also obedient'. You are so lenient with Nuomin, you are mean to the people, the common people - so easy to offend? I am as virtuous as the wind, and civil as grass. In a few years, the treasury will only have some bad account books and old IOUs, and once there is a flood or drought, or a war or war, what should I do? He sighed.

The two eunuchs, Fifth Brother Zhang and Li Xing, followed Yongzheng and followed suit, quietly listening to Yongzheng's eloquent speech. From Yongzheng Jin to the king of the county, they see him almost every day, they are all cold and indifferent faces, awe-inspiring, I can't imagine this majestic and murderous emperor, and this warm state of mind, they all feel warm in their hearts. The four people walked along the Yongxiang straight north, from the west of the Imperial Garden through the Reverence Palace, and then to the south, through the Changchun Palace, the Tiyuan Palace, the Taiji Hall through the hall and out of the room, along a narrow alley out, I can't help but see Huo Ran - it has arrived outside the Longzong Gate, here is the place where foreign officials enter Beijing and wait for the summons of the study, more than a dozen officials are scattered outside the door, all holding their notebooks, talking hand to ear, a sharp-eyed glance saw Yongzheng slowly pacing out of the alley, and shouted in surprise: "Long live, long live the Lord is here!" So all the people knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your name is Ortai, and you went to Yunnan to be a political envoy the year before last, aren't you?" Yongzheng looked at everyone with a smile, walked up to a middle-aged man in his forties with white skin, and said, "I read the excerpt of the governor of Yunnan before, and said that you are sick. I have decreed that you should be delayed, and that you will come again when the weather is warmer, and he has not given you a decree? What disease do you have? "Ortai is Kangxi 60 years from the military department of the foreign lang to Yunnan political envoy, the new emperor ascended to the pole or the first time to see Yongzheng, he was in charge of the arsenal in the military department, Yongzheng once sent someone to choose a bow and arrow for his son, it was a very small matter, but Ortai insisted on the letter card of the Zongren Mansion, so that he was disappointed. There is such a little mustard, because he knows that Yongzheng will repay him, this time he entered Beijing Yuan was worried in his heart, and he didn't want Yongzheng to talk to him first, so he kowtowed and said: "The minister got up twenty days ago, and Chen Shiqi probably didn't have time to announce the decree to the minister." The malaria suffered by the minister has been cured, and the disease of dogs and horses is so grateful! ”

Yongzheng laughed and said: "'Holy Concern' is not 'Holy Concern' should not be taken with medicine!" Go back and ask Li Dequan to take you to the imperial pharmacy and get some cinchona. Li Dequan hurriedly agreed, and Yongzheng pointed to Ortai again: "You know this person, right?" His name is Ortai! Back then, I was in the mansion and touched his wall for a trivial matter! A small official who dares to resist the emperor's relatives and relatives, this bone is quite stiff - you have to learn from him! Before he finished speaking, Ortai's tears had burst out of his eyes, and he was about to reply to some words of thanksgiving to Tian's grace, when Yongzheng paced next to another official and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Long live back, the minister's name is Huang Liben."

"Huang Liben." Yongzheng looked up and thought about it, "You are distributing Taiwan Mansion?" ”

"Yes!"

Yongzheng sighed slightly, and said: "Taiwan and Fujian are separated by the ocean, the folk customs are not pure, and it was the old land of the Zheng family, and it is easy to collude with the Hongmao country and the bandits, which has always been difficult to govern, so you can do it?" Huang Li replied: "The minister is only loyal and wise!" "Well, good!" Yongzheng praised, "This is a sentence of ambition." But what's the problem? ”

"The minister has no worries," Huang Liben hesitated, glanced at Yongzheng, and muttered, "It's just that the old mother is far away in Henan, and there is no one to take care of at home...... Yongzheng smiled: "You don't have to say it, it's hard for you to still be a filial son!" However, there is a rule in the imperial court of Taiwan that officials are not allowed to bring their family members. It's not something you can trust, it's a rule. In this way, I issued a decree to Chang Gan, the governor of Fujian, asking him to take your old mother and raise it in Fuzhou, and you can do a little filial piety when you go to the province to report on your work--do it well, and at the end of the three-year term, you will open up 100,000 acres of famine in Taiwan, and I will canonize your old mother! Huang Liben didn't expect Yongzheng to be so generous, his face suddenly turned red, and he kowtowed again and again: "The minister is working hard to cure Taiwan, and open 100,000 acres of waste for the master!" Within three years, the minister must make Taiwan self-sufficient! ”

"Well, it's a deal!" Yongzheng glanced around at everyone with a smile, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him and wanted to speak, he smiled and said, "You have to see both horizontally and vertically, and you have to speak." I only see three people per dial, which is more convenient than here. It's just one, you have to tell the truth, and you don't have to hide any difficulties - I still have to go to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother, you should see the minister of the study first! With a wave of his hand, he took Fifth Brother Zhang and the other three people to the west.
