Yongzheng took Fang Bao into the Yangxin Palace, then sat cross-legged on the kang from the Kang, and ordered someone to move the embroidered dragon magnetic pier in front of the kang, and invited Fang Bao to sit. Seeing that he treated him so ceremoniously, Fang Bao became more and more uneasy, and thanked him for a long time before sitting on the side diagonally, looking at Yongzheng with two bright little eyes. He knows Yongzheng's temperament very well, and he doesn't need to ask, Yongzheng himself will speak.

"Mr. Linggao," sure enough, after a while, Yongzheng spoke, "Do you know why I summoned you in as soon as I ascended to the pole?" ”

"I don't know."

"You know." Yongzheng's dark pupils looked at Fang Bao and said slowly, "If you don't know, you won't delay and refuse to leave." Fang Bao's eyes jumped, and he was about to answer, but Yongzheng waved his hand to stop, and said: "The reason for this can only be tacitly understood at the moment, so I don't blame you, and I don't want you to apologize." The first thing I want to say is that what the first emperor treats you, I will do too. Don't have the idea of 'accompanying the king like a tiger' in your heart, then you will lose my hope! ”

Fang Bao seemed to have been shocked, his whole body trembled, he knelt down from the table, kowtowed and said, "Can the minister?" How dare you? Fang Bao is imprisoned and waiting to die, the first emperor Jian Ba is not reused on the side, he must listen to his words, he must follow his plans, and there is no right thing in ancient and modern times - the scholar doctor replied that Jun En should promise the country with his body, how dare he avoid it with benefits and misfortunes! Long live the time when the dragon dived in the domain, the minister already knew that he was generous and benevolent, good and evil, and admired and engraved in his heart. Who is the minister, who has received the grace of the two worlds, and dares to treat the king with a disrespectful heart?! ”

"Mr. Fang, get up." Yongzheng smiled faintly and said, "What I want is this heart, this word!" I summoned you to Beijing in order to borrow your talents, to help me succeed, to be the lord of a generation, and to be a famous Confucian through the ages—not to reward your merits, do you understand? Fang Bao looked at Yongzheng in astonishment, lowered his head again, and said, "Holy Lord, please enlighten me, the minister has no size to the Holy Lord!" Yongzheng smiled and said: "This is also in my heart, but I can't help but declare it." At the beginning, the first emperor set up an edict to pass on the throne, asked for advice, and hesitated between me and the fourteenth brother, what did you say, sir? He smiled and said nothing.

Fang Bao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out how the conversation between him and Kangxi could reach Yongzheng's ears if the secret of the law did not pass on the six ears! Yongzheng saw that this Shuo Ru, who had studied the past and the present, was so frightened by himself, smiled with satisfaction, took out a yellow silk booklet from the desk box, turned to a page and unfolded it, looked at it, handed it over, and said with a smile: "The first emperor is talented and intelligent, and the details are difficult for people to reach!" Look at it, this is the old man's imperial notebook! Fang Bao shook his hand and took it, somehow, his heart was pounding, his eyes were a little dull, and when he looked at it, he saw a few lines on the three hundred and eight pages of the booklet that read:

asked Fang Bao today: "All the sons are good, and the outstanding ones seem to be the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother." But there is only one Lord in the world, who can be the one? Fang Bao replied: "There is only one way to decide the emperor's doubts!" Ask, "How?" He replied, "Look at the Holy Sun!" Good sons and grandsons can ensure the prosperity of three generations of the Qing Dynasty! I clapped my hands and praised the goodness: "Great words! "Sixty years of the first month of the valley Dan Ji.

The handwriting is very serious, but it is slightly crooked, which is obviously recorded by Kangxi who is seriously ill. Fang Bao looked at the familiar handwriting, remembering that Kangxi pushed food and undressed him, cut candles and papers with his classmates, and secretly discussed all kinds of kindness and affection in the same room, and suddenly a kind of bitterness like blood and gas, sour and hot suddenly surged in his heart. His throat choked, and two lines of old tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's hard for you!" Yongzheng moved down from the kang, pacing in his footsteps, as if he was overwhelmed with emotion, and suddenly turned around and said: "Although you didn't say it explicitly, the first emperor has already understood that I have a 'good holy grandson' of the first emperor - to put it bluntly, it is the current 'fourth master' Prince Bao Hongli!" Mr. Fang, you have already pushed me to the stove to roast, and you want to push my son to the stove as well! Privately, I want to be a free prince, and I don't want to do the first hard thing in the world, and I am very dissatisfied with you. In terms of the public, you have laid the foundation for three generations of the Qing Dynasty, and the credit is in the community, and I am grateful to you. For both private and public affairs, I have to be responsible for you always, you have to think about it! Fang Bao listened and thought that Yongzheng's words were true and false - in fact, on both the public and private sides, Yongzheng dreamed of becoming an emperor - but now he wants to clear it up, which is also the proper meaning of the question. After thinking about it for a while, Fang Bao stood up and said, "The emperor is so sincere, although the ministers are dull, dare not do their best to be effective?" But the minister is close to the ear, the yellow flower has gone yesterday, the sunset and the moon is coming, I am afraid that I have missed the emperor's diligent desire to seek governance - I remember that there are many talents in the Shengshang Domain, why not simply pull out the emperor's side and help the study to do some errands? ”

This is talking about Wu Sidao, Yongzheng's heart is bright. But he thought that Wu Sidao was already exhausted when he assisted him in seizing the throne; Moreover, Wu Sidao's reputation is not obvious, and he is an old man of the domain, and his sudden use will definitely cause slander from his ministers; I also feel that this person has too many "secrets" about himself, and it is already a generous grace not to kill him, but it is even more constrained to use it...... But none of these reasons could be brought to the table, so Yongzheng had no choice but to talk to him left and right, and said: "It's not good for the people in the domain to use too much, it's already a lot." Nian Qianyao was a general, Li Wei was also a political envoy, and Dai Duo was also an envoy to Fujian...... The world is for the public, I blindly choose the people around me to enter the picture, how do future generations think of me? Some people, such as Wu Sidao, have a bad body and bones, and they use it too small to get bold, and if they use it too much, it hinders the discussion. I have my difficulties, and Mr. Fang must be considerate of me. When he saw the eunuchs coming in with the imperial dining table, he smiled and said, "Let's talk while eating!" ”

This table of imperial meals is made by special order, and it is much more sumptuous than Yongzheng's usual meals. When Fang Bao sat on the side of Yongzheng and watched, there was a red and white duck stewed chowder hot pot in the middle of the wide and long lacquered flower dining table, the bones were boiling and steaming, the fresh fragrance was fragrant, and there were four casserole hot dishes, fried chicken and stir-fried meat stewed sauerkraut, bird's nest chicken cake and wine stewed duck, roasted roe deer meat and deer tendon pot roasted duck, and ham and bacon were placed around the table, and the western pastries of lamb ears and pheasant feet were placed around the table...... And gluttonous dim sum and a delicate palace point, although the category is not as good as the feast, but it is also full of dazzling colors and flavors. Yongzheng lit the dish with chopsticks and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, please use it!" Don't be inhibited! Speaking of which, it is rare for our monarchs and ministers to have a meal. Please use it casually. Fang Bao hurriedly got up and agreed, and sat down carefully to eat. He has been extremely graceful by Kangxi's side since the past, but he has always given a single table at the banquet, and he has never sat next to the emperor, not to mention today's new monarch, the 'cold face king' who said that he would change his face in the past! Yongzheng has always been on a diet, and he dislikes the vegetable oil meat, because he saw that the bud was not happy, he ate a few light bites and got up to rinse tea. When Fang Bao was busy getting up to thank him, Yongzheng smiled and said: "Don't coax me, the first emperor said, 'Fang Bao's body is not wide but his heart is wide', he is a person who lets go of his belly to eat and sets his heels to be a man." These meals are not to my liking, you can eat as much as you can, and if you don't waste them, they will be ruined. I went to the warm pavilion to look at the folds, and you came to talk when you were full. "Paced it.

As soon as he went, Fang Bao was relieved, and hurriedly picked up more than half of his full age and came over to thank him. Yongzheng held the nipple cup in one hand, held the book in the other, and didn't raise his head to say "um", after a short pause, he wrote a few more lines, rubbed his sour right hand and smiled: "Sit, sit!" Fang Bao smiled and thanked his seat, and was about to speak, when he saw Xing Nian come in, bowed down and said, "Ma Qi, Long Keduo, as well as Li Wei and Tian Wenjing have already come in, can the master see it?" Yongzheng smiled, ordered the kang table to be removed, and said lightly: "Call in, Mr. Fang just sit." ”

At one moment, the four mermaids rushed in, and they knelt down in front of the kang in the East Warm Pavilion and saluted. Ma Qi and Fang Bao are old friends, seeing that Fang Bao was sitting on the emperor's side, it was inconvenient to greet him, so he just glanced at Fang Bao and nodded his head, which was regarded as a greeting, and the other three only glanced at Fang Bao and turned their faces to listen to Yongzheng's words.

"Get up, Ma Qi and Uncle give me a seat!" Yongzheng's mood seemed to have become very good, he calmly stretched his body on the kang, and said to Li Wei with a smile: "When there is still a lack of Sun Jiagan and Yang Ming, are they here?" Xing Nian hurriedly said: "They are all kneeling outside the Hanging Flower Gate!" The master wants to see him, and the slave will pass them in. Seeing that Yongzheng nodded without saying anything, Xing Nian retreated. I saw the two of them stepping into the main hall one after the other and saluting.

Fang Bao already knew about the three major cases in the newspaper, and when he saw Chuan Sun and Yang, he knew that Yongzheng was about to close the case, and he was in this position, so he naturally wanted to pick up the missing and make up for it, but Yongzheng didn't discuss it beforehand, how should he speak when the time came? Just thinking about it, Yongzheng smiled and said, "Okay! The princes of the three roads have all entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and today is a small Mengjin meeting! Li Wei, you are the boss, you talk about it first. ”

"Piercing!"

Li Wei agreed, took out a fold from the page of his boots and unfolded it. He is not very literate, and some places draw a person on it, and some places draw a melon, and a few vines are hooked in a row, which looks disorganized. But he has an excellent memory, just such a ghost-like fold, aiming at it with his eyes, talking about it for half an hour, and talking about the Nuo Min Deficit Case and the Kechang Case in the slightest. Yongzheng listened, didn't say a word, lowered his head and just paced, until Li Wei finished speaking, Fang frowned and asked, "It's over?" ”

"Yes, it's over!"

"What is the punishment of Nomin?"

"Long live the words, cut in half!"

"What about Zhang Tinglu?"

"In accordance with the will of Long Live Live, the slave Tu Lichen discussed it and decided to be Ling Chi!"

Yongzheng looked up and didn't squeak for a long time, turned around and stared at Fang Bao and asked, "Sir, what do you see?" ”

"The minister thought it was all heavy." Fang Bao made up his mind and replied: "In the case of Nuo Min, it is obvious that the officials of Shanxi Tong Province colluded to cheat. Now that subordinate officials are not prosecuted, it seems that Nuo Min's sentence should be slightly lighter. is not only an official in Shanxi, but also a little dignity for the imperial court, and the minister thinks it is appropriate to commit suicide. Zhang Tinglu's case, the minister thought that it had not been clarified. The idea that the imperial court should make an example for the rectification of officials and deal with it as soon as possible. However, accepting bribes is not a heinous crime, it is different from the rebellion, it is determined to be Ling Chi, and this case was opened for children and grandchildren. So at most, it is enough to set it in half. ”

Fang Bao doesn't talk much, but it has the effect of putting the finishing touch. "Less decent" clearly refers to Yongzheng who has just commended Nuo Min as "the first minister in the world", and he can't let the emperor be too unable to step down; Zhang Tinglu's case has a lot of background, and it is really a target to say that this "has not been tried". Li Wei's heart was bright, and Yongzheng also knew it in his heart, and when he saw him open his mouth, he couldn't help but be secretly convinced. When Long Keduo heard the words rebellion and rebellion, it seemed that he had set it up for himself, and his heart couldn't help but beat suddenly. Ma Qi also knew a little about the two cases "there is a play in the play", and he was reluctant to speak easily after going through the ups and downs. Only Sun Jiagan kowtowed, stiffened his neck and said: "Long live, Mr. Fang's scholar has read it since he was a child, and he must be a great husband who 'wants to see him', and he was disappointed when he saw it today!" Since the case is 'not clear', it should be investigated, and then handled in accordance with the law, why did the gourd close the case and kill people without mentioning it? Fang Bao stared at Sun Jiagan, and said with a smile for a while: "The offspring boy, love, law, and reason have the right to be economic, light and heavy, slow and urgent. Heaven and earth are so big, and the Tao is so deep, how can it be measured with a ruler? Why don't you think about the truth of the law of taking your money from the saint and demoting your official position? ”

"Nuo Min and Zhang Tinglu are both ministers close to me in the world." Yongzheng saw that Sun Jiagan was staring at the goldfish and wanted to refute, for fear that he would ask something more difficult to answer, so he waved his hand to stop him, and sighed: "In his later years, the first emperor often said that Qingshui ponds do not raise fish, and they should be with the light. I didn't understand it at the time, but now that I'm in the middle of it, I really appreciate it. To be honest, the Buddha's heart is full of compassion, and under the sun, I can't even avoid other people's heads, how can I easily kill people? Things in the world have come to this point, it is not possible to open the killing ring, the killing ring is too big, such a huge case, two or three hundred heads fell to the ground, and the future generations will see me as the master? Sun Jiagan, God gives you a heart, think about it according to this heart! After Yongzheng finished speaking, he paced to Tian Wenjing again, and said with a smile for a while: "Old acquaintance!" Do you remember when you entered Beijing to take the exam, and you met in the Black Wind and Yellow Water Store? ”

Tian Wenjing held back his strength, wanting to hurt Chen Shanxi's officials, bring down the officials of Shanxi Tong Province, and let out the evil anger in his chest, thinking that Yongzheng would definitely ask his own opinion, but who knew that Yongzheng talked about the past when he lived in a thief's shop in He Li Town, Gaojiayan, and couldn't help but be stunned. Yongzheng had something to say at that time, "never leak out". Therefore, Tian Wenjing and Li Fu, who lived in the same store and met Yongzheng, have been tight-lipped for many years, and even people like Fang Bao and Zhang Tingyu don't know a word, why did they mention this matter suddenly? Tian Wenjing pondered for a long time and couldn't understand the essentials, and hurriedly kowtowed: "How dare the ministers forget for a moment? Long live the dragon diving mansion, that is, Yu Chen, has the deep grace of life and death! If it weren't for the emperor's blessings, the ministers would have been reduced to ashes twenty years ago! But the minister remembered the long live Jun edict of the year, hidden it deep in his heart, Xu Tu replied, and did not dare to show off in front of others. ”

"The monarch and the minister are in trouble!" Yongzheng also seemed to sigh infinitely, "It's only difficult, so I don't dare to talk about the encounter lightly." I didn't expect that I would have today, and I didn't expect you and Li Fu to repay me this favor. A gentleman loves people with virtue, and I employ people out of public intentions, and I don't expect these small and small wisdom to envelop people. But I bring it up again today, I really see that you are a conscience, and you know that you forget to repay your kindness regardless of the benefits, only this one, if you continue to do it, you will be inexhaustible! ”

Li Fu was personally named by Yongzheng to give the main examination of Shuntianfu, and Tian Wenjing was sent to the army of Nian Qianyao to announce the decree as soon as Yongzheng ascended to the pole. These two people, Li Fu is from a genuine brand, and Tian Wenjing is a miscellaneous official who accepts donations and removals, and they have quietly become famous figures in both cases, and they have such a deep background with Yongzheng! The people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other and were secretly surprised. Tian Wenjing kowtowed and thanked him: "The minister has received the favor of the two dynasties, and he does not repay the king for the matter of the black wind and yellow water shop. In the Xi Dynasty, the ministers only knew and loved the first emperor; In today's world, the only thing is to know the faithful and love the saint. The scholar doctor does not like things or feel sorry for himself, but he is only single-minded, forgetting to repay his kindness, and the minister does not dare to be. Fang Bao listened, this person's words were somewhat favorable, but he was also impeccable, he couldn't help nodding and smiling, and interjected: "Public, loyal, and able to have all three, it's rare to find this Tian Wenjing!" ”

"That's true!" Yongzheng was scratched by these two people again and again, and his face lit up with joy: "It's not in vain!" Thinking about how many things and how many people there are in the world, it is difficult to fully perceive and comprehend them by relying on my own dedication and dedication to knowledge. Nuo Min is my trusted minister, in Shanxi and in the capital, they are all windy and windy, and they want rain and rain, you Tian Wenjing entered the country alone, surrounded by enemies, and you can start from where you can't start, and you can't progress where you can't progress. Mr. Fang summed it up well, the three words of public, loyalty, and ability can be the three-character formula for appointing officials in the world! Ma Qi smiled at Yongzheng's words: "The saint's words are extremely true! Anyone who has received the favor of the imperial court, a little bit of conscience, can pay attention to the heart of the heart, public and loyal is not rare, the difficulty is that both public and loyal can be, both the three are available, the world is in a hundred wastes to be lifted, the more capable people the more too much! Yongzheng nodded and sighed: "Yes! Like Li Wei, he did many things without asking for orders, because he was perfecting himself and really wanted to serve the people of the court, why didn't I fulfill him? If he is perfected, he will also be perfected myself! Sun Jiagan, do you know? Why didn't I promote you immediately, and humiliate you before I promoted you? Just because I see that you have the habit of being a science and armor, and you have a 'name' in your heart, once you have this, you will inevitably not be able to be loyal and all-powerful! ”

Sun Jiagan was not very convinced, kowtowed and said yes, and said: "Long live the instructions!" When Yongzheng stared at him, he saw that he was not timid, and said with a smile: "That day, I drove you out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and you wanted to commit suicide in Qianqingmen, but some didn't?" ”

“…… Some! ”

"The son was punished by his parents, so he committed suicide, trapping his parents in unkindness, is it the way of the son of man?"

"It's not."

"The courtier was embarrassed by the king, so he committed suicide and trapped the king in unkindness, is it the way of the courtier?"

"It's not."

"At this time, I am bent on being a loyal minister, with a name for eternity, and a glorious body with bamboo silk - then, what about me sitting in the palace of nourishing hearts? What will the world look like in the future? ”

Speaking of this, it really has the effect of initiation, Sun Jiagan blushed and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, bowed his head deeply, and said, "The minister has already known!" Yongzheng laughed proudly: "Don't do this! I'm a lonely man myself, and I don't like pus, but I don't want to be brave! I am the emperor, and now I want to be public, loyal, and capable! ”

"Yes!" Everyone bowed down and kowtowed together, "Wait for the Holy Order!" ”

Yongzheng was about to continue, but he heard the horn of the palace horn ringing bell, and hit it twelve times in succession, it was already noon, and he suddenly remembered that he had to go in to ask the queen mother for peace, and the selected show girl also had to pass by, because he smiled and said: "That's it today." Mr. Fang, don't go back, they have already transcribed the ink scroll of Enkegonshi and sent it in, you select thirty copies of the first and second class rolls, and I will look back. The governor of Guizhou was vacant, and the officials sent a ticket to the draft, and when I wanted Yang Ming, it was good, and the rest of the people waited for the officials to discuss it before talking. Yang Mingshi, what do you think of this errand? ”

Yang Mingshi was very worried today, and he didn't speak, and a few days earlier, the officials had quietly told him the information about selecting himself as Qianfu. In the famous poor place of Guizhou, "the sky is sunny for three days, the land is not three feet flat, and the people are not three cents of silver", Miao Yao lives together, the toast is divided, and the hegemony is dominant, and the court has always had a headache, known as "the first difficult to treat". He is so young, and he is under pressure from the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Cai Ting, and Cai Ting likes to interfere in local civil affairs the most, and this official is very difficult to do. He kept thinking about how to resign this envoy euphemistically, and he didn't want Yongzheng to say it first, so he hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister doesn't want to go!" ”

"Huh?" Yongzheng didn't seem to believe his ears, he was about to leave, but he stood still again, and his face sank: "I didn't hear clearly, you play it again!" ”

When everyone looked at Yang Ming, Fang Bao was also taken aback, his face was pale, and he couldn't find the words to mediate this matter for a while, but after listening to Yang Ming, he paused for a moment, and then repeated: "The minister doesn't want to go!" ”

"Huh!? Why? ”

"The position of governor of Guizhou is beyond the power of ministers!" Yang Mingshi paused again and again, "The minister would rather return to Huguang to serve as a vassal than be promoted!" ”

The muscles on Yongzheng's cheeks twitched, he was not in a hurry to leave, he wanted a cup of hot tea in his hand, took a sip, and said with a cruel smile: "Huguang may not be a good place." There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, I have appointed you to Hangzhou as a political envoy, will you go? Yang Mingshi raised his head and stared at Yongzheng and said, "Long live misunderstood the meaning of the minister." From the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi to the present, in less than four years, the governor has changed seven times, except for one Ding Wei, is everyone incompetent? There is a General Cai sitting above, who is the pillar of the country, and the ministers cannot afford to provoke him. Last year, he participated in the revolution and returned to Beijing, but he did not make any achievements, which may have violated the original intention of the Holy Commissar to go to Qianfusui Prefecture. Such frequent changes of national feudal officials are also child's play. Long live the suspicious ministers to pick the fat and pick the thin, the ministers would rather serve in front of the Uriya Sutai army, and swear not to frown! Yang Mingshi did not show weakness, he spoke eloquently, and every sentence was the truth, all the people were moved, and a stone in Fang Bao's heart also fell to the ground.

"Cai Ting is a person who is stubborn and self-serving, and he can't tolerate others, which is indeed his shortcoming." Yongzheng was stunned for a long time, and his heart was already bright, "But he can lead the troops, and there is no veteran like him in that place, and something will happen - since you say so, let's go first, isn't it seven governors in a row?" You, the eighth, I have made an agreement with you that within seven years, I will not transfer your governor, how about it? Yang Mingshi thought for a while, kowtowed, and said: "The minister is trying his best to do it, but the minister still wants to ask for orders!" Yongzheng smiled and said, "Oh? What else do you want? ”

Yang Mingshi said calmly: "The minister is the governor, and he will not interfere in Cai Ting's military affairs, please long live Cai Ting's order, and he shall not send troops to recruit and suppress Miao Yaomin at every turn." The minister and Cai Ting, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and this governor is easy to be. ”

"Send you an envoy, and you will fight such a big ring with me!" Yongzheng laughed, put the teacup on the table, paced in front of Yang Mingshi, and said sentence by sentence: "Okay! For your courage, I promise you. But I also have an appointment with you, starting next spring, the imperial court will no longer allocate you a tael of silver and a pound of grain in Guizhou, and Guizhou will be self-sufficient in money and grain, how about it? Do you dare to respond? ”

"Why don't you dare?" Yang Mingshi replied in a loud voice.

Emperor Yongzheng ordered everyone to kneel in peace, and took the bright yellow sedan chair to Cining Palace. His heart is still not easy, Nian Qianyao sent troops to Qinghai, so far there has not been a battle, only a march, has spent four million taels of silver, all relying on the inventory deficit to fill this bottomless pit. Yun Xu, who presided over the inventory, was vigorous on his face, but he did not show his strength. Yunxiang issued a note last month, ordering the provinces where the officials who had been removed and seized to quickly release the arrears of treasury silver to Beijing for storage, but the excerpts were followed by Zhang Shengbi, the former political envoy of Huguangbu, Xu Dawan of the grain storage road, Zhang Shi'an, the envoy of Hu'an, Li Jimo, the envoy of Guangxi, Song Shizeng, the governor of Jiangsu, Wu Cunli, the political envoy of Jiangsu, Li Shiren, and Li Yutang, the grain governor of Jiang'an...... A large number of officials owed a total of more than 4.5 million taels of silver, and with a stroke of Yunxi's pen, it was written off by the fire consumption in the autumn of the first year of Yongzheng! What I wonder is that Yun Yu was careful during his funeral for fear of the leaves hitting his head, knowing that he would never tolerate this, why was he suddenly so bold? What's even more strange is that Huang Qixian, the chief soldier of Southern Jiangxi, Liu Shiqi, the envoy of Sichuan, and Ge Jikong, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, have all copied their homes, and the poor idle officials actually have the money to pay back the 170,000 taels of silver owed to the treasury, and the officials will be reinstated from the official according to the routine - these are all well-known Eight Masters Party, Nian Qianyao, who is thousands of miles away, and the military feather book is out in the afternoon, and in a hurry, he also wrote a secret fold to protect these three people! Yongzheng sat on the bright sedan chair with his eyes closed, trying his best to associate these chaotic political affairs together, but he was still puzzled, and was groaning, when he heard a noise in front of him, sandwiched by the scolding of the officials of the Internal Affairs Office, the sound of dragging and pushing, and the chaos was chaotic, and a woman shouted in a sharp voice:

"Your Majesty? What's wrong with the emperor? Don't pull and pull like this - I just want to see the emperor, and I have asked him! ”

Yongzheng's heart moved: there is such a spicy and presumptuous woman! See me what's the matter? Tilting the sedan chair down, he saw that he had arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, so he asked: "This is the place where the Queen Mother Lafayette feasts, who is shouting?" When the more than 200 women kneeling here saw that the royal car had arrived, they all turned pale with shock, and they all kowtowed to the ground. Dozens of officials of the Internal Affairs Office retreated to both sides, and only the hall officials were so anxious that they were sweating hotly, and they shouted: "This cheap hoof doesn't know how to lift!" Long live the Lord is here, and he still stands like a donkey! Push her to her knees! Several officials hurriedly agreed, and pounced. Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Call her over, don't look like this!" Everyone had no choice but to retreat in unison. When Yongzheng looked at the woman, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a rose and purple palace cheongsam, plum blossom embroidered green sprinkling pants, and a pair of "flower pot bottoms" under her feet, starry eyes and willow eyebrows, and a round and fat face full of anger, but still with a little childish and coquettish, this girl had just fought with a few eunuchs and servants for a while, and she was already messy, and the buttons of her jacket were torn off, and she covered her neckline with one hand, staring at Yongzheng, but refused to kneel. Yongzheng raised his chin and frowned and asked, "Whose child is this?" ”

"If you go back to Long live, it is the Blue Flag Niulu Fu Aguang family." Qian Jing, the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, flashed out and said, "I have sent someone to call her father - they are all slaves who are careless, and they ask for long live......"

"If you don't say that, you step down." Yongzheng saw Yunxiang coming from afar, nodded slightly, and asked the girl, "What's your name?" ”

"Fuaguang Mingxiu!"

"Hmm, Mingxiu. How many people are in the family? Where are you ranked? ”

"Five mouthfuls. Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, and me. ”

"Did my father send an errand?"

"Nope."

Yongzheng pondered for a while, and then asked: "You are making noise in the Forbidden Garden, and you mentioned me again, what do you see about me?" What are the rules for being so presumptuous? Mingxiu swept his sideburns, glanced at Yongzheng without timidity, and said, "I want to ask Long Live Lord, do you know what it's like to be hungry?" Seeing Yongzheng looking at himself puzzled, Mingxiu pointed to the group of show girls and said, "Although our family is poor, which one was not born and raised by our parents?" Now it's a new dynasty, long live your left holy decree 'refresh the rule of officials', and the right edict 'rest with the people', we all believe in long live, but long live the pole has only been a few months and is busy with draft girls and filling the harem! Shandong is in a famine, Shanxi is losing money and food, and Xidatong is still using soldiers, I want to ask, why are you busy recruiting women and beauty pageants at this time? Yongzheng clenched his teeth, stared at Mingxiu with dead eyes, and suddenly, his face became a little gloomy, and he said unhurriedly: "There are so many palace dependents in the inner court, someone must take care of them!" Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Mingxiu immediately pushed back, "The court system is also determined by the court, and I just met a few palace maids, and their hair is white!" How many of the palace maids who were selected were blessed to be concubines? Long live only the harem family members are taken care of, who will my grandfather, grandmother, and mother give to me? ”

"Presumptuous!"

Yunxiang suddenly broke off. He was in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and he had just sent away Yun Yu and his party to leave with the show girls they had chosen, and there was such a big Lou Zi here, so he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and reprimanded: "Untrained wild girl!" Didn't look at what kind of place this is, who is the slut talking to? ”

"Aren't you the Thirteenth Master?" Mingxiu glanced at Yunxiang and said, "People say that the Thirteenth Master is a hero, but I don't think so!" I don't know how to measure, I follow the emperor's head, it's too boring! ”

Yun Xiang had never been ridiculed like this, and he blushed to the root of his ears, and wanted to say something, but he moved his lips and didn't say it. Yongzheng turned his head and asked Qian Jing: "Is her father here?" Fu Aguang had already been brought in, he had been frightened by his daughter, half of his body was wooden, he was standing next to him like a fool, at first hearing Yongzheng ask himself, like five thunderbolts, his face was pale and crawled out of the ground, kowtowing like garlic, and said silently: "Slave slave slave...... Slave Fu Aguang ......"

"You are such a piece of material, and you have raised such a daughter!" Yongzheng glanced at Mingxiu again, his eyes were full of appreciation, "Okay!" Have backbone, identity, and knowledge! I love it! It's a pity that there are few ministers like this, who can be called the women among women! ”

No one expected Yongzheng to say this, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and even the group of show girls swept their eyes to Yongzheng. Mingxiu was also taken aback, and looked at Yongzheng blankly, his gaze had softened. Fu Aguang said in a low voice: "Why don't you hurry up and kneel down to thank you?" Mingxiu knelt down at this time. Yongzheng lowered his head and sighed, and said, "Yunxiang, how many show girls did the princes take away?" Yun Xiang bowed down and agreed: "The princes each brought sixteen, the county kings ten, and the Belle Beizi eight each, which were allocated by the ministers, and they were not asked to choose in person." Yongzheng nodded and said, "This is my misconduct." The palace maid has been imprisoned for a long time, and there is an aura that hurts the peace of heaven and earth, and Mingxiu is responsible. Tell Xing Nian to send a decree to all the palaces, and here, all of them will be put back to each house. I don't choose it this year. Xing Nian hurriedly replied: "Yes!" ”

"Check with the Internal Affairs Office," Yongzheng said softly, "Those who have served in the palace for more than ten years and are over twenty-five years old will be released from the palace." In addition to the Queen Mother, the palace is reduced to call the palace maids! ”

"Hooray!"

Hundreds of show girls burst into tears and bowed their heads together, and there was already a whimper.

"Mingxiu, go back with your father." Yongzheng also seemed to be moved by his good deeds, and his voice became a little hoarse, "Your advice is immeasurable!" I'm not a person, although you blame me for some mistakes, and I don't care about you if you don't care about it. Go back and honor the old man, and when you are old, I will choose a good son-in-law for you! ”

After Yongzheng finished speaking, he turned back to Yunxiang and smiled slightly: "The big hero has planted a lot of muscles today!" Let's go, follow me to say hello to the Queen Mother! ”
