After several nights of careful consultation, a large and risky plan to decoy the enemy was finally formed. In order to prevent Yue Zhongqi from suddenly sending troops from Sichuan to help and seize the merits, Nian Qianyao ordered Fan Shijie, the governor of Gansu, to urgently transfer the green battalion soldiers stationed in Ganbei to guard Songpan, and wrote a secret letter to Yongzheng. On the third day of October, Nian Qianyao dispatched all the guerrilla generals to give instructions and ordered all the troops stationed in Xining to move to Lanzhou. In the huge Xining City, only 1,500 old and weak soldiers were left to guard the Chinese army.

Hearing this unexpected military arrangement, hundreds of officers looked at each other. Look at Nian Qianyao, with an unfathomable and profound appearance, no one dares to ask. But Sang Chengding couldn't help it and asked, "General, what about you?" Go east with the army, or stay in Xining? This question is meaningful, Xining and Lanzhou are not far away, but one Qinghai and one Gansu, the guards will leave the country without authorization, in case Xining is lost, Nian Qianyao will have a mortal crime first. Hearing this question, all the officers raised their heads and stared at Nian Qianyao.

"I don't go east with the army, but I don't leave Qinghai either." Nian Qianyao seemed to be a little emotional, "This time I was helpless to adjust the defense." Look at this place, can you survive the winter? The rear supply is so far, not only grain and grass, but also charcoal, how much do you have to add? With so many soldiers gathered here, they couldn't find a fighter plane for a while, and under the ice and snow, they also froze and collapsed. Retreat to Lanzhou, still surround Qinghai, leave Luobuzang Tenzin here to endure hardships, and then fight again in the spring of the next year? ”

After being silent for a while, Yi Xing'a couldn't help it, bowed down and said: "Dashuai, there are still 100,000 stone grains stored in the Xining grain depot, wouldn't it be bad if the city fell into the hands of Lobuzang Tenzin?" Mu Xiang'a knew that Nian Qianyao stayed in Qinghai, and of course his group of guards had to follow, and he was full of reluctance, but he was the one who told Nian Qianyao to be afraid and buy it off, thought about it, and said: "The boss is far away from the army, in case there is a mistake, we all lose the responsibility of guarding." Since the general thinks so, why not play tomorrow, and the whole army will move to Ganxi to fight again, which is also the best policy. ”

"What is food? A fire burns it in half an hour. Nian Qianyao sneered: "I can't leave the country, if I leave the country, the court still doesn't know what kind of rumors to create!" I think that in the battle of Ulan Butong back then, I led more than 30 horsemen to kick the Geldan battalion, and tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers did not hurt me a single hair, let alone today? Once the military order has been issued, there is no need to discuss it again. The generals and officers above the capital will stay, and there will be military affairs to explain, and the rest will return to the camp and wait for the order to start immediately! ”

"Piercing!"

The generals went out, and only about 20 generals were left waiting for Nian Qianyao to give him a face-to-face lecture, but when he saw the Si Yan banner officer coming in, he said: "Lord Fan Shijie, the governor of Gansu, wants to see the general." As he spoke, he handed over the name thorn. Nian Qianyao glanced at it and put it on the table, and said, "Call him in!" The flag officer promised to go out, and in a moment he saw an official, with a chubby face and a mustache, a solid figure, flashing a pair of nonchalant black bean eyes and swaying in, wearing a nine-python five-clawed robe covered with a golden chicken. Although it is new, I don't know if it is not properly cut, or it is dressed in a hurry, how awkward it looks. He was originally the political envoy of Huguangbu, and Nian Qianyao rejuvenated the army, and Tuo Yunxiang said that Xiang was transferred to the governor of Gansu, which was the recommendation of Nian Qianyao, so he regarded himself as a benefactor. I thought that Fan Shijie was grateful to Dade and must have saluted himself. But since he arrived in Gansu, this Fan Shijie has not even seen a shadow except for official business. Seeing that this Fan Shijie came up again to fight a thousand children and stood up on his own, Nian Qianyao's heart was on fire, and he didn't even raise his hand in vain, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" To put it simply, I'm busy with military affairs here! ”

"Humble duty is also about military affairs." Fan Shijie straightened up, like a tumbler, and said with a smile: "Last time, I said that I asked the general to allocate military tents. The general ordered the humble post to ask for it from the military department. The military department said that it was all transferred to you. Dozens of people in the Gansi garrison are now crammed into a tent, saying a cold word, going out to pee at night, and returning with no place to sleep. When will the tent be sent to our army? Nian Qianyao sneered and said, "Just run here for this?" "I don't think it's a trivial matter." Fan Shijie looked at Nian Qianyao's face without timidity, "Also, I don't understand why you transferred the Gansu Green Camp to move Songpan." General Yue Zhongqi is close to Songpan, but he is far away and sends Gansu soldiers to garrison? I would like to ask the general to think again about whether he can take back his fate. ”

Nian Qianyao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Got it." You can rush back overnight. "Knowing doesn't mean understanding my difficulties." Fan Shijie was sticky and greasy, very difficult, and said after weighing the words: "When I go back, the soldiers still can't sleep, won't it hurt the heart of the young general who loves soldiers like sons?" I have already informed General Yue of the difficulties in Gansu, and asked Yue Zhongqi to discuss with General Nian and make overall plans. It is better to ask General Yue to garrison Songpan, so that you can be exempted from hard work. His words were neither soft, nor hard, nor hurried, but they were not rude. Nian Qianyao's face was so angry that Fan Shijie didn't look up at his face at all, so he smiled and asked, "Who told you to inform Admiral Yue about the removal of Songpan?" Do you have that right? ”

"It's you!" Fan Shijie stared at Nian Qianyao with flashing eyes, and said, "Last time Gandong swore an oath, you went to the altar for a military parade, and Yue Zhongqi was the deputy marshal. You warned the generals that you and General Yue should be informed at any time if there is something, and all the princes here have heard it......"

Nian Qianyao was angry and funny, hateful and helpless about this living treasure, because he was still in a hurry to discuss the matter, he waved his hand and said: "That's it!" You go back and listen to the ginseng, and after the affairs of Gansu, the political envoy of Gansu will come to talk to me, go and go—go back and listen to the will! You're still the one I recommended, I'm really blind! ”

"Yes!" Fan Shijie bowed and said, "I know that the general doesn't want to see me, and when he recommended me, I thought you were the public!" I'll go back and listen to the counsellors, and I'll prepare to write my arguments. It just so happened that there was a decree that I should be the governor of Liangjiang, and since there was someone to act as an agent, I would have left as soon as possible. After that, he beat a thousand children again, and arched his hands and said: "The general is so precious that he has gone to his humble position!" "He walked away in a fool's sleep. Many generals under Nian Qianyao's account were dumbfounded.

Nian Qianyao stared at Fan Shijie's back viciously, took a sip of "phew", and said with a cruel smile: "He, the governor of the two rivers, can't dream of ten days,—— don't take care of him now." Listen to my deployment. Nian Qianyao glanced at the crowd, walked to the sand table without saying a word, and pointed with a long stick: "Starting from Ming'er, each battalion will pull out the village and go east, and transport all the weapons and baggage that are not needed to the area of Honggucheng, Yanshuitan, and Shuangchang Temple west of the Tonghe, and plant the military flag on the car, the bigger the momentum, the better!" Sang Chengding and Varser took the Chinese army with me, and stationed in Ledu to coordinate and command all the armies. The Maguan Security Department is stationed in Qianhuzhuang, the Saide Department is stationed in Huangyuan, and the Fuchun Security Department is stationed in Guide, and a beacon tower is set up in each line of ten miles, and my beacon tower in Ledu is the largest. Once ignited, the armies will attack Xining and Ta'er Temple in the starry night - every village burns the village, and every person kills! He raised his head, his hungry wolf-like eyes shining faintly, and his hoarse voice made people shudder: "Do you understand?" ”

This order is completely different from what the conference said, everyone agreed to "understand" in a disorderly manner, but in fact, everyone was a pot of paste in their hearts. Nian Qianyao Gege smiled: "You may not understand, I am a fake empty city plan!" It must create the illusion that the army is moving eastward, so all the armies march day and night, and only the army to the east must be fanfare. In order to prevent leakage of secrets, from tomorrow onwards, all the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers will remain in the city, and anyone who flees halfway will be captured and beheaded. In the case of those who fall behind in the middle of the process, all the military camps will be secretly sent to Xining. Only in this way can you induce Lobuzang Tenzin to gather an army to attack Xining, and then encircle it on all sides - huh? At this point, the generals knew about the medicine sold in Nian Qianyao's gourd, and they couldn't help but cast admiring glances at him together. Mu Xiang'a looked at the sand table and said with a smile: "The general has no last resort, even Kong Ming is nothing more than that!" ”

"What if Lobuzang Tenzin refuses to be fooled?" Ma Guanbao frowned and said: "It's so cold, our army is scattered far away from the Chinese army, and it is difficult to supply grain and grass, which is a taboo for soldiers!" ”

"Food!" Nian Qianyao's black and red face glowed, "Our army wants to spend the winter, and the enemy army also wants to spend the winter, and I have cut off all the grain routes to Qinghai." The 100,000 stone grain in Xining City is the best bait. When people are thirsty, they will drink wine. I really can't lure him, half a month later, I also lit a beacon fire, and I still gathered in Xining, this winter, I starved to death the people of Qinghai Province! ”

This is really ruthless, and this plan is really poisonous. Mu Xiang'a remembered what Yongzheng said in parting, "Benevolence does not lead the army, righteousness does not do Jia", looking at Nian Qianyao's heart, it is really true. Just thinking about it, the generals responded like thunder:

"Zha! The general is wise! ”

Fan Shijie left Xining in a big way, returned to Lanzhou to hand over the envoy to the political envoy Hengjun, not even his family, and selected 20 relatives to follow Goshha, and left the provincial capital at dawn the next day, went to Beijing to report on his work, and prepared to take up the post of governor in Nanjing. Because he rode a healthy horse and had no suits, he was worried that Nian Qianyao would sue him, so he traveled all the way early and stayed overnight, and arrived in Beijing in only 12 days. At this time, it is nearly October, the frost has passed, the officials in various places are busy collecting the rent and finishing the grain, but the suburbs of Beijing are full of feelings, it seems quite idle, there are idle people in the field to catch the grasshoppers, Luo Huangfinch, catch crickets, catch quails and sell them in the city, some of them have nothing to do the flag people, the autumn is not finished, take the family to take the mouth to the Yang Mountain to see the sea of clouds, watch the sun and the moon rise together, carry the food box to Tianping Mountain to see the evening maple and red leaves. Fan Shijie was full of thoughts, resting in his old house for a night, not caring about being tired, and as soon as the sky was bright, he went to Xihuamen to hand over the sign and ask for it. After a while, there was a will for Fan Shijie to go to the military aircraft office, first meet with Prince Yi Yunxiang and Jun Wang Yun, and then meet in the afternoon.

"Yes." Fan Shijie waited for Gao Wuyong to pass on the order, and followed in with a respectful agreement, and asked all the way: "Where is the military aircraft department?" Gao Wuyong pointed to the guards on the west side of Yongxiang at the gate of Longzong and said, "Oh—that's it." Lord Fan, please-the Queen Mother's phoenix body made a phlegm surge yesterday. The emperor didn't eat breakfast, and this time it was in Cining Palace. The thirteenth master and the fourteenth master are probably also waiting outside the palace for a while. You wait, talk to Zhang Zhongtang and Ma Zhongtang first, and it's the same with the messenger. Fan Shijie had to agree to come in, and sure enough, Yun Xiangyun was not there, only Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi sat on the east kang. An imperial historian sat on the opposite side of the pestle and was thinking about things, and when he saw Fan Shijie coming in, he stopped. Ma Qi didn't recognize Fan Shijie, so he looked at Zhang Tingyu.

"Oh, it's Lao Fan who has entered Beijing to report on his work!" After Fan Shijie saluted, Zhang Tingyu got up and sat back again, ordered the eunuch to sit down for tea, and said Ma Qi with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is called Fan Shijie, called Shuilu, who was originally our parent official in Beijing, released the political envoy of Hu Guangbu, and simply served as the governor of Gansu - this is Ma Zhongtang - this imperial history is the famous Sun Jiagan." Fan Shijie hurriedly got up again and saluted one by one, and said with a smile: "I should be the Yin of Shuntianfu, and Ma Zhongtang was imprisoned in my Nanya at that time." If there is a failure to take care of it, Ma Zhongtang forgives! Ma Qi smiled: "That's the king's order!" You can take me? I lived alone in a courtyard house in Shuntian Mansion, and I gained ten pounds. To tell a joke, it's more comfortable than it is now! Everyone laughed at the words. Zhang Tingyu said again: "Jiagan, you can continue." ”

Sun Jiagan bowed slightly and said: "For the case of Yang Mingshi and Cai Ting's mutual recital, I personally went to Guizhou. Cheng Rusi, the prefect of Dejiang, was originally Cai Ting's old department. He took advantage of this situation and did not buy the account of Yang Mingshi, the governor. The salt of Yunnan enters Sichuan from Guizhou, and Loushan Pass is the only way. Yang Mingshi ordered the switch to be opened, regardless of the private salt and official salt, to transport it to the fullest, and pay customs duties to the Guizhou general envoy. Cheng Rusi forcibly bought all of them at half price, and resold them to fill her pockets. Yang Mingshi therefore withdrew Cheng Rusi's difference. Cheng Rusi went to Dali to see Cai Ting, Cai Ting not only contained Cheng, but instead appointed Cheng Rusi as a general of Loushan Pass, the salt merchants refused to sell salt at a low price because the governor Yamen had a decree, Cheng Rusi mobilized thousands of soldiers, shotguns, bows and arrows were used, and killed more than 300 salt traders at a time. The local gentry and common people wrote a joint letter of 10,000 people to Yang Mingshi, in order to prevent provoking the people's uprising, Yang Mingshi asked the king to order the banner to cut Cheng Rusi. Therefore, when Cai Ting played Yang Ming, he had a scheming heart and wanted to provoke a mutiny. I went to see Cai Ting, and I was very arrogant! Tell me to sign up for a handbook. The two Zhongtang, although I am not a Qincha, but I have been appointed as the imperial history of the left capital, he is a general stationed in other provinces, has this qualification? I'm not afraid that you will be annoyed, but I will go into the study to give you something, and I don't have a sign up gift! That's why Cai Ting participated in my impeachment, you just have to play the emperor truthfully! After speaking, he leaned back and exhaled calmly, with no expression on his winter melon face.

"The emperor just asked us to ask about this matter, and there is no will." Zhang Tingyu sighed, "Mengzhu, I advise you to say a word, you still don't pay tribute to this matter, write it as a secret fold, or secretly Chen Ducheng when you see the emperor." It's not that the study is unwilling to repost in the newspaper, if it is compared to the thousands of hungry people in Shandong, this is not a big deal. At present, the most important thing is Nian Qianyao's military in Qinghai, the emperor has to take care of the queen mother's illness on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to worry about military affairs, and the original autumn hunt Mulan has been canceled. As soon as he appeared in the newspaper, wasn't he annoyed? Not only do we know these things you said, but the emperor also knows them in his heart. But there are three things in the family, first from the tight place, the excerpt is archived first, can it be done? I'm not asking you to buy me and Ma Zhongtang's face, I'm trying to persuade you to think about the overall situation. Don't just think that you are a speech official, you have to speak, you must think that you are a minister, and think about the overall situation. That's it, can you listen to it? ”

Sun Jiagan lowered his head and thought about it, then sighed and said, "I understand what you mean, I have a secret twist." I also ask Zhongtang to believe my heartfelt words, my grandson is definitely not speaking for Yang Ming because he was the same year as me. His name is sometimes wrong, and I still join him! When Yang Mingshi was in Guizhou, only two cents of silver was charged for fire, and when the official became the governor, only two masters, a son of a wealthy family, and only a few torn clothes. I was also sad when I saw it, and said, 'Why did you suffer so much?' He said, 'The people of Guizhou don't have three cents of silver, and I have received two cents, and I can't get over it in my heart.' I made a guarantee with the emperor that I didn't want the court to allocate one or two silver and one stone of grain from Guizhou. If you don't set an example, how can you explain to the emperor? ’…… I'm really afraid that Cai Ting, a veteran ruffian, will fall in on him! "Well, don't worry." Ma Qi said with a smile, "The emperor also made a guarantee with Yang Mingshi, and he will not move his governorship for seven years." Zhang Tingyu also said: "The governor of Shandong has been evacuated, and the lock has been taken into Beijing." Yungui is far away, and the people's mutiny and mutiny are all great things - you must know that Nian Qianyao Yue Zhongqi is fighting a big battle, and there is no chaos in the rear - so be it. Liu Molin went to Nanjing, observed Li Wei and Yin Jishan to clean up the deficit, raised another million stone grain for Nian Qianyao, and when he came back, the emperor met with him. Sun Jiagan got up and said with a smile: "Then I will resign." Go back and eat my '皛' meal. Zhang Tingyu let go of his hand, and Sun Jiagan bowed and retreated.

"Shi Jie," Zhang Tingyu turned his face and smiled, "Let you sit down." I originally thought that you would come on New Year's Day, and at that time, Nian Qianyao also had eyebrows, and I didn't expect you to be so anxious. Fan Shijie smiled indifferently and said, "General Nian has already withdrawn my errand." I have nothing to do in Lanzhou, so I hurried here to wait for the punishment, and before the punishment, I must meet the emperor. ”

The two ministers of the upper study were taken aback, a feudal official, who had no affiliation with Nian Qianyao, said that he would withdraw the mission, and even the central cardinal didn't know! Zhang Tingyu couldn't help frowning. Ma Qi was also at a loss and said, "How did you get this?" ”

"Back to the middle hall—"

Fan Shijie leaned forward slightly, and was about to speak, when the curtain rang, Yun Xiangyun and the two princes came in one after the other. Zhang Tingyu and Ma all stood up in a hurry, and Fan Shijie stepped forward to beat Qian'er and said, "The two masters are safe and healthy!" He was very familiar with Yunxiang, and he was about to speak with a smile, when he saw Yunxiang's sad face and Yunxiang's face full of tears, he stopped, knelt on the ground, and looked at Yunxiang in a daze.

"The Queen Mother ......"

Yun Xiang's eyes were stupid, looking into the distance a little blankly, and muttered. Ma Qi Zhang Tingyu jumped up in surprise and looked at the two princes with a blank saga. Ma Qi exclaimed: "I saw the Queen Mother yesterday, although the pulse is not peaceful, but I am still calm, how can I be all of a sudden-" Before he finished speaking, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly stopped.

"The Queen Mother has been suffering from phlegm for more than ten years." Zhang Tingyu practiced deeply and had the strictness of the city government, and he calmed down in an instant, and corrected Ma Qi's "violent pawn" words, "Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, I have asked about it several times in the hospital, Ye Tingxun told me in private, it is a matter of this year and next year." Back then, Wu Sidao pushed the number for the Queen Mother, saying that the Queen Mother was one hundred and six years old, and I was still puzzled, but now it seems that he divided his life day and night, and said twice as much! Alas...... Now we can't mess up, hurry up and ask the emperor to inform the Ministry of Rites to formulate the funeral ceremony, and other affairs have to be put back. With that, he took off his top and slowly removed the red tassel on the top with a knob. Ma Qi Yun and Xiang Yun were also busy removing the crown tassels.

Fan Shijie complained with a belly, and wanted to tell Yunxiang in detail, seeing that such a big thing happened to the royal family, he knew that it couldn't be done, so he turned the button and looked at Yunxiang and said, "The lord's festival is precious." There is such a big incident in the court, and the long live master may not be able to meet the minions. Please show me, can the slave live in Beijing, and then hand over the sign after the funeral? ”

"This chapter of Nian Qianyao has been handed over." Yunxiang looked at Fan Shijie and said slowly: "I already know about his removal of your errand. You go back to listen to Xin'er first, the emperor is crying so much that he faints, and he doesn't dare to give him a problem. Let's talk about it after a while! ”

These words are not painful, itchy, or marginal, and Fan Shijie can't ask in detail. But I only heard that Nian Qianyao came first, and I already felt that my back was like a thorn. At that moment, I had to say "yes" and slowly retreated. All the way back, I just sighed and sighed, admitting that I was unlucky-one day earlier, I could also meet Yunxiang alone and talk about my own hardships.

Yunxiang and the other four people left the military aircraft and hurried to Cining Palace, and saw that the red palace lights had been removed in front of the palace, and the eunuchs were busy pasting the door god with hemp paper and hanging white cloth linen tents with gloomy faces. Yun Xiangyun's nose was sore, and the tears were rolling out, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and only followed Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi to rush in, and saw Yongzheng in front, Yun Zhi, Yun Qi, Yun Zuo, Yun You, Yun Yu, Yun Yu, Yun Yu, Yun Lu, Yun Li, Yun Qi, Yun Yu, Yun Yi, Yun Xi, Yun Hu, Yun Qi, Yun Qi A class of princes and county kings Beile Beizi followed, and the following three elder brothers of Hongshi Hongli Hongli were ranked last, with a white cloth filial piety hat wrapped around their heads, and they didn't even have time to wear sackcloth, and they knelt on the ground and cried loudly, seeing him four people coming in, eunuchs Qin Gou'er, Zhao Mingli, Gao Wuyong and his colleagues came up and handed over the white cloth filial piety hat. Zhang Tingyu wrapped his filial piety clothes around him and said sharply: "You stupid pigs! What about your own filial hats? - Why don't you go to the library to get Mai and change it for your masters?! Several eunuchs were so frightened that they kept silent, and while wearing filial piety hats, they seemed to fly without stopping.

Zhang Tingyu is very calm when he does old things. Seeing that the imperial doctors were also kneeling under the corridor, it was expected that Yongzheng had not had time to fall, so he walked over and said, "You guys go down." "Since bypassing the crowd, I approached the body of the Queen Mother, who had just stopped at the bed.

The Queen Mother Wu Yashi looked very peaceful, and her face was slightly flushed. Only the tips of his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his lips were slightly furrowed, as if he was saying something and died suddenly. She was not up to the rank of forty or fifty palace concubines in the Xi Dynasty, and Zhang Tingyu hardly knew her for 20 years, but she only saw her much after Yongzheng ascended to the pole. Thinking of this noble lady who was generous, solemn and benevolent, from time to time she also sent eunuchs to reward her wife with some things, and yesterday she was still alive, saying that she wanted to call Mrs. Zhang Tingyu to come in and talk about Gu Ji'er to relieve boredom, and also asked her daughter to "copy a few volumes of "Diamond Sutra" for me", just like that, said to go, and suddenly went without a squeak, and suddenly remembered his younger brother Zhang Tinglu, and felt that life is uncertain, and the insignificance is impermanent. Zhang Tingyu "mobilized" his feelings, couldn't help but boil inside, tremblingly knelt three times and bowed nine times, and exclaimed bitterly, "Queen Mother Lafayette, you just went west?!" Yes...... Ho ho ......" He thought about his son Zhang Meiqing who was tortured to death, and thinking about Zhang Tinglu's seven bloody "miserable" words, and he couldn't hold back tears rolling out like beads. After a long time, Zhang Tingyu restrained his mind, and when he looked back, he realized that Long Keduo had also come in at some point, and he was lying on the ground with Ma Qi side by side. He sobbed and got up, patted the two on the shoulder, and said: "We still have to take care of things, and mourn ......" So the three ministers sobbed and wiped their tears, and slowly approached the Yongzheng Emperor who was mourning, kneeling on the ground, Zhang Tingyu choked with tears and persuaded:

"Master, I am so sad that the Queen Mother has finally returned to the west. Now the important thing is to discuss the funeral, so that the Queen Mother can be relieved. You can only be sad, and the Queen Mother is also uneasy when she looks at the spirit of heaven. Besides, how many major events are still waiting for you to break the holy bow, hurt your body and bones, and make the minions feel how to live? ”

"Mother-" Yongzheng hoarsely voiced, put his hands on the ground, and cried bitterly regardless of it, "My son is not filial, and I haven't waited for you for a day...... Yesterday, your old man wanted to use a mouthful of lychees, but I didn't do it for you! I...... My ominous body, woe to the Holy Ancestor and you. Less than a year after the death of the first emperor, you also let go, leaving me alone, and asking me to ask for peace every day? Who do you have something to talk to? …… Why don't you speak? ......" It seems that something really touched his heart, Yongzheng burst into tears, and the water-milled green bricks in front of his face were wet. No matter how Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qilong Keduo persuaded each other, they just refused to get up, and they were already crying softly on the ground.

Seeing that it was not a problem, Zhang Tingyu kowtowed and got up, and instructed Xing Nian Li Dequan: "Bring the chair to the master, and pick it up!" This group of eunuchs received the order, and carefully came up to pick up Yongzheng, who was crying and fainting, and Yongzheng did not struggle much. Zhang Tingyu shouted loudly: "Stop mourning! Then the crowd gradually stopped crying.

"I'm in chaos." After a while, Yongzheng controlled himself, wiped his face with a hot towel, and said with a tired face: "Tingyu, you guys consider your knowledge, and I listen to you." ”

Long Keduo saw that Zhang Tingyu was taking the lead everywhere, and he was the minister in the study, but he did not show off, so he took a step forward and said: "At present, everything else is a small matter, and the queen mother should first draw up a nickname, so that the Ministry of Rites can follow it." Yongzheng nodded heavily and said, "What you said is that Ma Qi is in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Court and the Ministry of Rites, and he plans to show me a good one." Ma Qi hurriedly bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." This major event has come out, and how many things have been added inside and outside. There has to be a minister in charge of mediating affairs. According to the funeral ceremony of the first emperor for the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, long live the mourning for 27 days, and the government will not be at a loss. Long Keduo said: "The patriarch of the Ma Qixi Dynasty is highly respected, so I will ask Ma Lao to preside." He originally wanted to recommend Ma Qi, but Ma Qi must refuse, he is the emperor's uncle and a relative, and he is a minister in the study, so he will naturally push it on himself. Unexpectedly, Ma Qi didn't see his eager eyes at all, and just said: "The funeral ceremony of the first empress dowager was planned by Zhang Tingyu, and it was also mourned by the Holy Ancestor. I'm old, how can I take care of the mess inside and out? I think it's better for Zhang Hengchen to be partial to work. ”

"Heng Chen," Yongzheng listened, pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Tingyu pondered, and said slowly: "In a year, the Holy Ancestor drove down, the new monarch ascended to the pole, the southeast cleaned up the deficit, refreshed the rule of officials, and the northwest is still using troops. The minister thinks that the more stable the better. …… Well, the minister thought that although the Queen Mother had been benevolent and disobedient for a long time, before her death this time, she did not announce the Queen Mother's illness to China and abroad. Can it be divided into two steps: first, let the Tai Hospital compile the pulse of the Queen Mother's illness a few days ago, the medical case of the medicine, and the excerpts from various places to the Queen Mother's mercy and greetings, into a newspaper, and use 800 miles to speed up the mailing to all places. Then slowly announced the death of the Queen Mother. This is conducive to the stability of people's hearts. Moreover, to see what the queen mother has will, the emperor will follow the decree, and also use the edict to tell trillions of people. As for who mediates inside and outside, this is a matter of detail. Me too, so can Roncodo. Anyway, the big thing still has to be played by the emperor. I thought, Mr. Fang lives in Changchun Garden, can he also be temporarily moved to the inner house, with the emperor to hold a funeral for the queen mother, and it is more convenient for the consultant to consult. I thought of this, and when Mr. Fang came, the emperor could listen to his advice. ”

"Hmm!" Yongzheng raised his hand violently to pat his leg in appreciation, and then remembered that he was a filial son of Ning Qi's funeral, so he scratched his ears and sighed: "Hengchen heard this and was moved in my heart-" He originally wanted to say "I am really not at ease at both ends" The words came to his mouth, but it became "Such a careful painting, you do your own thing, and Hengchen will fully support the inside and outside, and discuss with his uncle and Ma Qi when there is something to do." If it's not military affairs, don't come to stir things up. If you are truly loyal, you will become a filial son. While speaking, the eunuch outside came in with bundles of linen clothes to change everyone, and saw Gao Wuyong and said, "Mr. Fang Bao has already come in." The master had a decree in the past, but Mr. Fang didn't hand over the sign when he entered, so he ......" "Don't talk so much," Yongzheng said impatiently, "Please Mr. Fang come in, you pass the decree to Monk Wenjue, and ask him to prepare the Empress Dowager's rituals!" Well......
