Chapter 317 Eight Banners Joint Meeting ([-])

The dispute over sentence reading is a trivial matter. Since ancient times, there have been many debates over the scripture "knowing the people and not knowing the people". Li Li, the two popular grandsons of the dragon, things are not that simple, no, in just one night, the details of the dispute have spread like a whirlwind between the government and the opposition, and countless literati and poets have been arguing about it for a while Incessantly, for this reason, there are not many people who wrote articles and debated. With each holding his own opinion, the debate was really dark. Invisibly, Hongli, who was not very eye-catching in the ruling and opposition parties, became famous far and wide.

Hongli's fame seems to be extremely accidental, but in Hongqing's view, it is not the case. This sudden debate between the government and the opposition seems to be accidental, but in fact someone is behind it. To create momentum, this concealment is obviously done by an expert. Except for the lame Wu who is hiding in the fourth master's mansion, I am afraid that no one else can come up with such a strange trick. It is obviously just a pile. A trivial matter, after being picked up by this guy, actually caused a stir all over the world. This kind of trick of four or two is quite clever.

It is impossible to say that you don't mind, no matter who it is, it is impossible to not mind if you are taken advantage of by others, but if you really want to say how annoyed you are, it is not so, probably because Hong Qing never I have never underestimated Wu Sidao, but I am not afraid. After all, whether it is wealth, power, power, or hidden strength, Hongqing has absolute advantages in her hands, let alone understands Chao. With such a sharp weapon in hand, if she will lose in this way, then Hong Qing shouldn't take any money, just buy a piece of tofu and hit her directly to death.

Although the debate among literati is extremely fierce, when it comes to the result, it is always nothing. Neither side can really win. It was like this in ancient times, and there will never be an exception now. No, there are two People with different opinions have been arguing for more than half a year. The mother said that the mother is reasonable, and the public has evidence. They argued endlessly, but they didn't see any results. When it got to the back of her head, there was nothing else to do, Hong Qing was really too busy, under the entanglement of government affairs, how could she care about those meaningless literary lawsuits.

Busy, busy, in a blink of an eye, it was the middle of May in the 46th year of Kangxi. The fleet that sailed to Nanyang last year returned smoothly. Twelve large sea-going ships full of various goods were berthed at the Humen Wharf in Guangzhou. Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi led by Guo Shilong Each department, together with the customs officials, as well as the imperial envoy Fan Shijie who had arrived in Guangzhou as early as early April, went to the Humen Wharf in person to verify the tax on the cargo of the fleet. The ship paid a total of 27 taels of silver in taxes. After deducting all costs, the actual profit of the fleet was more than 500 taels.

On June 46th, 26th year of Kangxi, Fan Shijie and Guo Shilong jointly signed a memorial to Beijing and reported the inspection status of the ocean-going fleet to Yuqian. The news spread like wildfire, and all the Eight Banners in Beijing, who had been looking forward to the Eight Banners for a long time, suddenly became overwhelmed. Get up, there are countless people who begged the old man to quickly establish the Eight Banners business, and the third master's mansion is full of visitors.

On the first day of July in the 46th year of Kangxi, the old man who was annoyed by all the dignitaries of the Eight Banners finally made up his mind and called Hong Qing into the Qianqing Palace. Qing is the supervisory minister, fully responsible for this matter, and ordered the Eight Banners capital to cooperate with the yamen. With this order, all the children of the Eight Banners in the capital were rejoiced, and the number of people who rushed to Prince Cheng's mansion under various names to inquire about news surged by ten Several times, the disturbance made Sanye and his family restless, even though Sanye was good at dancing, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to urge Hongqing to settle the matter quickly.

Everyone else was in a hurry, but Hong Qing was not in a hurry at all. There was nothing else, and she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This was a major event related to the future of the country. Apart from discussing this matter in the Dutong Yamen, there was no other word, and all the dignitaries of the Eight Banners were allowed to speculate wildly.

Guaibang Hutong is located on the east side of Di’anmen Gate. The alley is not big, 36 feet long and 42 feet wide. There are one-story houses on both sides, each with [-] bays. In the early years, it was a property under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In November of the [-]nd year of Kangxi Emperor Kangxi, it was allocated to the Yamen of the Eight Banners Capital, thinking that it was used for office work. Although it has been briefly repaired, it still has a smell of decay everywhere. Otherwise, there would only be three or two big and small cats dawdling around in the huge yamen, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the most leisurely yamen in the capital, but today's crutch alley is crowded with people, more than It's because the yamen is overcrowded, and the surrounding streets are also crowded with countless idle banner people, not for other reasons, but because today is the day Hongqing went to the Eight Banners yamen to discuss matters according to the agreement. After hearing the news, all the banner people from the Eight Banners Co., Ltd. Deili rushed over and blocked the Guai stick alley in a daze.

"I'm coming!"

"Okay, it's finally here!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Halfway through the hour, there was a sudden burst of cheers from the noisy crowd. A group of bannermen gathered at the gate of the Eight Banners Capital Yamen were noisy and yelling, and consciously gave way to a road. After a while, they saw a Surrounded by hundreds of palace guards, the top eight sedan chairs came slowly from the direction of Di'anmen.

"I've seen Qing Baylor!"

"Give Qingbaile a salute, little one!"

"Qing Baylor, you are here!"

……

The eight-carrying sedan chair slowly passed through the crowd and arrived at the gate of the yamen. With the sound of a guard's shout, the sedan chair had landed firmly on the ground, and two guards rushed to grab it. Going forward, opened the curtains of the sedan chair from left to right, and immediately saw Hong Qing, who was dressed in a neat court uniform, had already got off the sedan chair, and the crowd of banner people who were onlookers immediately burst into excitement, greetings, greetings, greetings, The entire yamen gate suddenly became a mess.

Well, what does it mean to have money that can make ghosts turn the millstones, isn't that what it is!
Although she had expected the intensity of this discussion, Hong Qing couldn't help but gasped when she saw the huge crowd of people, and she was deeply moved in her heart, but she didn't lose her composure. At the same time, he just smiled and bowed to everyone, but didn't say much.

"Yo, Qingbaile is here, I'm here to greet you."

It is not just the ordinary banner people who are looking forward to Hongqing's arrival. The 24 people from the Eight Banners Manchu, Han and Mongolian have also been waiting in the side room of the yamen. But couldn't sit still anymore, Qi Qi rushed out of the yamen, and an old man with white beard and hair came all the way to greet Hong Qing, this man was Xiang Huang Qi Du Tong Man Shun.

According to the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu, Mongolian, and Khan each had eight banners, of which the inlaid yellow banner was the most expensive, followed by the Zhenghuang banner and the Zhengbai banner, and the remaining eight banners were the lower five banners, and the owner of the upper three banners was the emperor himself. The rest of the Eight Banners have banner owners, but the rules are the rules. In fact, the emperor himself is just a nominal name. As for the other banner owners, they are all placed in Shengjing (now Shenyang), and they are not allowed to leave Shengjing unless they are called. In half a step in Beijing, the actual commanders of each banner are the large group of governors in front of Hongqing, and among them, E Manshun, the commander of Xianghuang Banner, is the most honorable one——Emanshun, a man of Xianghuang Banner, whose father He used to be the personal guard of Huang Taiji, made great achievements in the founding of the country, and was named a second-class prince. He died of illness in the fourth year of Kangxi. E Manshun inherited his father's title. , Participated in breaking Obai, pacifying San Francisco, and the two Western Expeditions to Galdan. In July of the 40th year of Kangxi, he was appointed to rule the Xianghuang Banner until now, and he is one of the most obedient disciples of the old man.

"It's all Baylor's fault if you have to wait for a long time, please ask Haihan."

Hong Qing was not very familiar with these Eight Banners Dutongs, and most of them just exchanged pleasantries during courtship, other than that, there was no interaction, not for other reasons, just because Hong Qing didn't look down on them at all. This gang of vegetarians, in Hong Qing's view, this gang of Dutongs belong to the kind of people who do not succeed in doing anything well enough, and getting along with these guys won't get much help, but if Accidentally offended, it must be a lot of trouble, haven't you seen that the old man is very troublesome to this group of governors, it is better to keep a respectful distance, but, on such occasions, you should be hypocritical However, Hong Qing was not the slightest bit ambiguous, not to mention the etiquette; the smile on her face was also extraordinarily warm.

"Qing Bei Le, what are you talking about? I'm looking forward to you like rain. I was talking about you with Laotai before, but you're here in Kekeli. Haha..., what a coincidence."

Even though he and Hong Qing didn't have much friendship at all, Er Manshun acted as if he was very affectionate with Hong Qing, and flattered him with a laugh.

"Your Majesty Er, you are being polite. Ben Baylor is here on a mission. Please cooperate with Master Er and all the gentlemen."

Emanshun is a kind of rough and bold, but Hongqing has long known the root cause. This guy is not a character like Zhang Fei, but a smiling tiger. As for the "Old Tai" he mentioned, is it true? It is Zhengbai Banner who controls Taiming, this person also follows the old man for a long time, and E Manshun is a relative of his son and daughter, the relationship between the two is very close, this is what E Manshun seems to say casually, but in fact It is hinting at the fact that Hongqing is that Zhenghuang Qi and Zhengbai Qi are one, and what he wants is to gain more benefits from the Eight Banners firm. Such intentions are too obvious. It's easy to understand, but Hong Qing didn't pay attention to it, but she just smiled and bowed her hands warmly.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, ah, Qingbeiler, please come inside."

Seeing that Hong Qing didn't respond to her hint at all, the corners of E Manshun's eyes twitched immediately, but she didn't show anything else. She laughed and waved her hand to get out of the way, signaling Hong Qing Please first.

"My lord, gentlemen, please!"

Hongqing had no intention of chatting with the gang at the door, but when she saw E Manshun step aside, she didn't show any pretense, she nodded with a smile, confessed a scene, and then raised her head to the yamen. Let's go.
