The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 252
Nian Gengyao had just been bestowed to death, Zhang Tingyu went to Yinzhen's place to return to his life, his expression was as usual.

Afterwards, Nian's family ransacked the house and needed to be busy, so he stayed in the palace for a long time, and only came back when it was getting late at night.

But he didn't take a carriage, but came out along the long road in the palace, passed Chang'an Street all the way, walked around in the dark, and I don't know how long he walked. In front of him was the former Prince Yong's Mansion. It was changed into a palace, named "Lama Temple".

It seemed that Zhang Tingyu just passed by outside at random, and Zhang Tingyu didn't stay for long.

When he returned to the mansion, there were lanterns hanging outside the gate of the mansion. Maybe it was the same situation when Zhang Tingzan came back from that road back then?

A person stumbled in, and just fell headlong on the road he was familiar with.

At that moment, no one played a lantern for him.

Zhang Tingyu looked up, and there was a lamp a few steps away in the mansion, which was actually much brighter than when Zhang Ying was in the mansion many years ago.These lights were added by Gu Huaishou because he was afraid that the children would not be able to see the road in the morning and evening, and the lanterns would not light up, so they asked someone to add them. Now in Zhang Tingyu's eyes, they are very warm.

But he still didn't go to the upper room, but turned around and went to the east courtyard.

The servants in the mansion thought it was strange, but they didn't dare to go up and ask.

Ade knew Zhang Tingyu best, now he buried his head in thinking, and asked someone to go back to Gu Huaixiu.

And Zhang Tingyu has already arrived at the East Court soon.

It used to be the yard of the big house, and it has been kept as it is all these years. In the early years, the sister-in-law had returned to Tongcheng. After she went, there was only sister Hui, and she was married to a local scholar. worry free.

Sister Hui went out from a wealthy family, but she has no complaints about her marriage. She must have heard about how her father and aunt went.

Easier days are not necessarily bad.

The green grass in the yard is still buried in the soil, without any trace, looking desolate and desolate.

He closed his eyes, recalled that day in a daze, entered Zhang Tingzan's room, saw his sister-in-law standing beside his couch, looking panicked, and Zhang Tingzan's face.

A modest gentleman, gentle as jade...

Back then when he jumped, he didn't know much about water, so he jumped down to save him. Zhang Tingyu was fine, but his eldest brother fell ill and narrowly escaped death.

The eldest brother is like a father. If Zhang Tingzan did not exist in this family, it would have been broken up long ago.

He didn't even know how Zhang Tingzan helped Zhang Ying deal with the affairs of the mansion.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

Zhang Tingyu didn't go in, just stood in front of the court, at the bottom of the steps.

His eldest brother, a man of brilliance and glory, has great talents, can be tempted and endured, and has always been amazing and brilliant.

Unexpectedly, God's will is too tricky.

Just before the accident, they had played chess in the Hanlin Academy. His elder brother loved the game of "siege". never fail.

It can be said that Zhang Tingzan is actually very competitive.

It's a pity that if one move is wrong, the whole game will be lost.

Earlier everyone thought that Zhang Tingzan was in the prince's party, but in fact he was the fourth master's confidant. At that time, he asked his elder brother to test his relationship with the prince's party. At that time, the prince had gradually shown a dissolute appearance.

Zhang Tingzan said: Bet on the wrong treasure.

That sentence was aimed at the prince, which meant that "the prince is not the choice of a good master", Zhang Tingyu probably understood it at that time.

But in the last short time of his life, he tried his best, but he said the word "加" with his hoarse throat.

Zhang Ying didn't know this word, and Zhang Tingyu was the only one who heard it.

Even if other people know it, they don't understand the meaning of this word.

Hearing doesn't mean knowing.

All in all, until today, slowly see the outcome.

The moonlight fills the courtyard, and the front of the steps is frosty white.

As soon as Zhang Tingyu lifted his robe, he knelt down like this. At this moment, he felt his whole heart hurt, and he didn't know what was burning in his blood, but he was still sober in his mind, very sober.

The moment he kowtowed, Zhang Tingyu had already thought about his epitaph and epitaph a hundred years later.

If one day, before he was crushed and turned into ashes, he was lucky enough to keep a green tomb, he would engrave it on it.

In the distance, Gu Huaxiu, carrying a lantern, walked towards the east courtyard. Passing by the flower stand that hadn't had time to germinate flower buds, there was a strange sense of tranquility for no reason.

She knows what happened today.

She sent off Nian Chenyu and Zhang Tingyu sent off Nian Gengyao by herself, but she didn't know what happened today, but she ran to the east courtyard.

When walking all the way, Zhang Tingyu had already come out and stood at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing a warm yellow light in front of him, his eyes that were still condensed just now gradually softened.

"Just ask the maids and boys to come. It's even more serious. You're a little weak. Be careful of the cold..."

What's more, she has concerns about her leg disease after all, if she comes out at this time, she is really not afraid of damaging her foundation.

As Zhang Tingyu said, he had already walked up and stood in the bright place again.

Holding the lantern with slender fingers, Gu Huaixiu was very close to him, he could only smell the faint scent of water and agarwood on his body, and knew that it was brought from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and there was also a vague bloody smell that couldn't be removed, Hidden under the water agarwood, dormant.

Looking at him with bright eyes, but without asking him, Gu Huaishu said: "Just take a few steps, it's not a big deal. Go back?"

"go back."

He took her hand, took the lantern in her hand, and led her forward, through the first corridor.

Gu Huaishu just let him hold her hand, and when the shadow flickered on and off, he suddenly felt the untouchable warmth inside.

There is no need for words, just a look at each other is enough to understand.

Zhang Tingyu didn't say what happened that day.

He would always tell Gu Huaishu, but now he just wants to think about it slowly by himself.

As an emperor, it has always been like this.

The road was also chosen by Zhang Tingzan himself, so it seems understandable to have this fate.

Even the two-faced and ungrateful thing is also a trick that Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu often play with, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.

In such an indistinguishable right from wrong, Zhang Tingyu didn't want to care so much.

When he does things, he has never said right or wrong, only whether he benefits or not.

In a blink of an eye, the originally powerful Nian clan was hit hard, but the branch clan was not affected much, but here Nian Gengyao went to wipe out all of them, and even his descendants were exiled into the army.

In contrast, it was Yongzheng's conferment on Zhang Tingyu in March.

Gao Qi, the original scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, was almost begging for retirement. Zhang Tingyu, the former scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, was added by Yongzheng as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

All of a sudden, Zhang's mansion was full of guests, and all kinds of filial piety continued, but Nian Gengyao's affairs did not end.

Nian Gengyao formed a clique among the ruling and opposition parties for personal gain, and many of them had cliques. Once Nian Gengyao fell, he would inevitably pull out carrots and bring out mud.

The big tree fell, and the hozens should have dispersed, and there were many trees around that were implicated.

Nian Gengyao's confidantes and servants were dismissed from their posts, investigated and prosecuted, and Yongzheng did not miss the past at all.

Among the implicated people was Tanhua Qian Mingshi from back then.

A few years ago, the Qian Mansion moved and was no longer next door to the Zhang Mansion, so Zhang Tingyu didn't know about Qian Mingshi's arrest one day, and he didn't know about it until he went to the Old Summer Palace.

Yinzhen also likes to deal with things here in the Old Summer Palace. This year, he will take a few important ministers there and allow them to bring their family members. Gu Huaishu didn't really want to go at first, but Empress Nala sent her a post saying that she would call She came to swim in the lake together, but she still couldn't get rid of her face after all.

It was not the first time I went to Yuanmingyuan, but when I saw it again, it was not as simple as before, but already had the style of a royal garden.

The lakes, pavilions, and beautiful mountains and rivers do not seem to be in the north.

Only when I raised my eyes and saw the sky was high and the clouds were calm, could I know that it was not a fake.

Gu Huaishu was also attracted by the scenery for a moment, took a few glances, and then fell behind a few wives.

The palace concubines were in the waterside pavilion, and the foreign wives saluted and said hello through the curtain, and then sat outside under the guidance of the maids.

Think about Nian Chenyu not long after he left, and the women in the palace are still so charming and beautiful.

There are not many people in Yongzheng's harem, and the people inside are soft-spoken. It must be that Nian Chenyu has only been here for a while, and few of them will touch Yongzheng's bad luck.Does Guan Yinzhen really like Nian Chenyu? At least he has shown that Nian Chenyu is his favorite concubine, so everyone should cooperate with him in acting.

Dealing with these people was also exhausting, so Gu Huaishu didn't sit for a while, so he found an excuse to go out to catch some wind.

After walking all the way along the lotus pond, she felt less bored.

After entering the Old Summer Palace, Zhang Tingyu went to the office to sort out the paperwork, but now she can't see her even if she wants to.

After only two steps, Gu Huaishu was about to tell Qing Dai to go back and tell people that she had a headache so she could go back and rest for a while, but unexpectedly saw a concubine coming over.

This person didn't meet Gu Huaixiu many times. She was just a princess when she was in Yinzhen's hidden residence, and she was directly named Concubine Xi when Yongzheng ascended the throne.This is the daughter of Dianyi Lingzhu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Niu Hulu family.I haven't seen it much at palace banquets before, only Yinzhen has seen it from a distance after he ascended the throne, but he really doesn't remember the appearance, it's a bit ordinary.

However, Gu Huaixiu naturally still remembered her, so he saluted lightly at this moment: "My wife please concubine Xi's peace."

Xi concubine Niu Hulu's family was not very favored in the palace, but fortunately, the fourth elder brother Hongli was still very competitive, and she was also happy.

But facing Gu Huaishu, she couldn't be happy no matter what. Seeing Gu Huaixiu, Niu Hulu was even a little scared, but she didn't show it on her face, but came up warmly and held Gu Huaixiu Sleeve hand, help her up.Then she realized that she was too conspicuous like this, fearing that people would see the random rumors, so she withdrew her hand again: "You are also a capable person beside Long Live Lord, so there is no need to be so polite."

If it's someone else, maybe they don't think about Gu Huaixiu, apart from the Nala clan who knows about Yinzhen's affairs in the palace, the imperial concubine who has always been favored the most knows that there is such a person.

As for the Niu Hulu family, Xiantou is just a Gege.If it hadn't been for the fact that fourth master got excited that day and called her in the afternoon, it happened that Gu Huaishou had entered the garden to play and discuss matters, which would have ruined this experience and scared Hongli even more. I'm afraid that even if I die, I won't know that Lord Long Live still has such a slave.

Gu Huaixiu herself didn't know about those old things. She knew that this was the future biological mother of Qianlong. Seeing that she was dressed so plainly, she was so low-key that she didn't look like a concubine. After all, she still remembered that her background was not good.It must have been Gege who had worked in Qiandi for more than ten years back then, even though she is now a concubine, she is not as casual and generous as Nian Chenyu.

Women and women are not the same, everyone has their own style.

But Gu Huaishu felt that she and Niu Hulu were not the same people.

Therefore, Gu Huaixiu only smiled: "Concubine Xi is really approachable. When the first courtiers came out to get some wind, they heard the Empress Empress and Concubine Qi talking about you, saying why you haven't come yet."

"It's just that he took Hongli back from the Long Live Lord first, and relied on Mr. Zhang to teach him carefully. Now he is barely smart and has not lost face in front of the Long Live Lord."

Zhang Tingyu is the prince, and the Pope should be. As for the master leading the door, it is up to them to see how far they have practiced.

Gu Huaixiu heard the wooing in the words, but he kept his expression calm: "That's the fourth prince's smartness, the second master is only taught the same way, you can succeed because of your good education. My wife dare not talk to you here, turn back to the queen Empress is delayed, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain."

"That's true, how dare I ask the queen to wait for a long time..."

Concubine Xi made a joke, then left behind Gu Huaishu.

Looking at the mountain without dew, it is possible to sit on it, and it is always capable.

Gu Huaishu looked back at Concubine Xi, saw her step into the waterside pavilion, then frowned, and walked towards a courtyard further west of Yuanmingyuan.

Yinzhen was handling government affairs in the Yuanmingyuan, so the officials would naturally come along, and it was not easy to go back when he was busy, so if he lived for a long time, the officials were allowed to bring their relatives in.

Touching his slightly stiff neck, Gu Huaixiu asked Qing Dai to squeeze it for himself, and then half-closed his eyes in enjoyment, the skylight outside the window was reflected in the slits, lazily.

Her place is infinitely peaceful, but Zhang Tingyu's place is lurking with turbulent waves.

Seven days after Nian Gengyao's death, and seven days after Nian Gengyao's death, Wang Jingqi, who had been in contact with Nian Gengyao, was beheaded for public display.

This person flattered Nian Gengyao when Nian Gengyao was in power, and once wrote a book "Essays on Western Politics in Reading Hall" dedicated to Nian Gengyao.Later, Nian Gengyao's home was ransacked, and this book was naturally confiscated.

It was originally just an ordinary book, and there were even some words in it to persuade Nian Gengyao to restrain himself, but the bad thing is that this man surnamed Wang actually mentioned in the book "the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks", which means that the emperor will soon It is necessary to kill the donkey and hide the bird, thinking that it can warn Nian Gengyao.

Unexpectedly, this book failed to alert Nian Gengyao. Instead, Yongzheng held it in his hand and criticized it directly: "Absurd and crazy, so extreme! It's a pity to see this late, and save it for another day. Seeds slip through the net."

Within a few days, Wang Jingqi was punished by Yinzhen for "composing poems to ridicule Emperor Ren, the saint ancestor", and even made a public display of his head, and the whole family suffered.

Not long after Wang Jingqi's head was hanged on the vegetable market at the gate of Beijing, another disaster happened.

In the early years, Qian Mingshi, Zhang Tingyu's neighbor, had a relationship with Nian Gengyao because he was a Jinshi in the 39th and 42nd years of Kangxi respectively because he and Nian Gengyao had the same character name Lianggong.

Later, Nian Gengyao became prosperous, and quickly became a high-ranking official. Qian Mingshi was naturally involved with Nian Gengyao. In the second year of Yongzheng, he even wrote poems to flatter Nian Gengyao. World, and attached these poems.

Today, Yinzhen is reading this booklet.

With a sneer, Yinzhen put down the notebook: "I don't know when Nian Gengyao could afford such a compliment...or I was kept in the dark by myself, I really don't know that the Nian Party has become so rampant !"

All the ministers kept silent, bowed their heads and lowered their ears, listening to Yinzhen's lesson.

"Qian Mingshi's statement that he was born in the Imperial Academy in vain, and that he fell into the Qingliu of the Imperial Academy for no reason, is full of flattery, praising treachery..."

At this moment Zhang Tingyu suddenly thought of Brother Ai's marriage, and his mind was really going to be troublesome.

Qian Mingshi was smart all his life, but he was confused for a while, and he might not end well today.

The matter of writing sinners repeatedly reminded Zhang Tingyu of Dai Mingshi in the past. He said: "Long live, Qian Mingshi has made great contributions to the embassy in the country. After the Hanlin, the literary talent is first-rate. This person is guilty and should be punished, but he will not die if he thinks about it. The case of Nian Gengyao was passed, and the people in the government and the public were panicked..."

When Zhang Tingyu spoke, no one responded, but they were all terrified.

Yinzhen's handling of Nian Gengyao's case can be described as ruthless. Isn't it against the emperor to stand up and express his opinion at this time?

Everyone is thinking about their own heads at this time?How dare he go along with Zhang Tingyu?
Yinzhen looked at Zhang Tingyu in a blink of an eye, and suddenly said: "What the great scholar Zhang said makes sense, but when did I say that this person would be sentenced to death? Could it be that you, Zhang Tingyu, thought that I was a murderer?"

This is tantamount to questioning.

Everyone knelt down in fright, but Zhang Tingyu didn't show any expression. The emperor knew clearly whether he had murderous intentions.

But to put it more pleasantly, he said in a low voice, "I'm guilty of exceeding the rules."

"For the sake of the former emperor's pity for his talents, let him not die, but this person really cannot be forgiven lightly!"

Yinzhen just threw the zhezi to the ground and ordered people to go to Qian Mingshi's house immediately.

He personally wrote the words "Sinner of Mingjiao", removed Qian Mingshige from the Imperial Academy, dismissed him and left Beijing to return to his ancestral home, and made a plaque with the words "Sinner of Mingjiao" for local officials to visit regularly. If Mingshi dares to take down the plaque, his family will be sentenced to death!
As the Tanhualang who was nominated for the gold list back then, but now he wants to?With such a name of "famous criminal", how can he be a human being again?
Even the whole family of Qian's family became sinners, disgraced.

It would be better to die!
How is Yongzheng's evil intentions different from killing people?
When Zhang Tingyu was stuck in his heart and couldn't vent his anger, Yongzheng still felt that it was not enough. After hanging Wang Jingqi's head on the entrance of the vegetable market, he even ordered the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty to write at the gate of the city on the day they came out of Beijing after chasing money and fame. Poems and satires are sent off, and Zhang Tingyu is naturally among them.

More than 300 civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty wrote poems one by one, and presented them to people to read them aloud.

This news had been disclosed a long time ago, so someone had already carefully prepared the finished manuscript, and hoped that the satirical poem would be written today, so that Lord Yongzheng would look at it differently.

Only Zhang Tingyu, holding the tube of Hu brush, couldn't move his hands no matter what.

Xiao Yongzao was standing beside Zhang Tingyu, and after thinking hard, he had already started to write. Looking back at Zhang Tingyu, he felt strange: "Isn't Mr. Zhang always quick-witted?"

Zhang Tingyu shook the lake pen in his hand, dipped it in the ink again, but still did not write down the pen, just said: "The older a person is, the more useless his brain becomes..."

The person who killed Dai Mingshi unjustly, can't write a satirical poem now?
Both Xiao Yongzao and Song Zhu are university scholars, and their positions are naturally higher than Zhang Tingyu's. They still remember the Nanshan case clearly. Now Xiao Yongzao asked with a smile. What? In the early years, Mr. Zhang personally beheaded his own students. Now, how can a satirical poem defeat him? After all, we need to worry about ourselves, and don’t be compared by Mr. Zhang’s satirical poem. "

He clenched the Hubi so tightly that Zhang Tingyu's fingernails were about to be cut off. He held up the pen for a long time, but when he was about to write it down, he felt that the ink turned into blood in an instant.

"Snapped."

Zhang Tingyu raised his hand and threw the lake brush on the table, even knocking down a small drop of inkstone in front of it, spilling the ink and staining the paper.

Xiao Yongzao, Songzhu, and the senior scholar Ma Qi and others all turned their heads to look at Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu said with a faint smile: "Master Xiao and Master Song have very rich seniority, and they are in the middle of the court, Mount Tai and Beidou, and the world is always sunny, so Zhang does not dare to write poems without authorization. If you want to come to a literati to write, you should be worthy of yourself. If Zhang writes, just write Fearing that the two of you will definitely lose, in order not to be abandoned by you, it is better for Zhang not to write."

Xiao Yongzao and Song Zhu were so angry that their old faces turned red. Although Zhang Tingyu is not young now, compared with them, he can only be regarded as a junior.

They were the people who worked with Zhang Ying back then!
"you you!"

"I?"

Zhang Tingyu sneered, "If the two old gentlemen have time to talk to Zhang, why don't you think carefully about your satirical poems, so as not to make a mistake... At that time..."

The voice suddenly lowered, and Zhang Tingyu said softly: "Zhang can kill his disciple unjustly, what are you two? Nian Gengyao is from my same department, Dai Mingshi is my disciple, and Qian Mingshi also has a relationship with me. Therefore... Lord Xiao, Lord Song, the building collapsed, but only for a while..."

This is a blatant threat!

Nowadays, there are more and more cases of being convicted of speech, who can guarantee that there is no mistake in all his articles?
Seeing Zhang Tingyu turning around and leaving in a leisurely manner, Xiao Yongzao and Song Zhunai were important ministers in the court, and now they are also scared into a cold sweat.

Dai Mingshi's case involved more than [-] people. If Lord Kangxi hadn't reined in the precipice, hundreds of people would have died...

When the emperor was angry, he lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles...

Zhang Tingyu had only taken three steps, when he suddenly heard a loud laugh from behind: "Good poetry, Mr. Chen is a good poem! Famous world has the same name as Shicriminal, bright work is not the same as bright work and treachery! Such a clever and tricky sentence, only Chen Brother can do it!"

"Hahaha what a great sentence!"

"...It's a good sentence..."

Some people didn't realize it, and quickly laughed and praised.

However, someone quietly glanced at Zhang Tingyu here, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Tingyu stop and look at "Master Chen" over there.

Chen Wance, the official official of Zhan Shifu...

Is this person recommended by him?

Qian Mingshi, whose name is Lianggong.

The name is the same as Dai Mingshi, and the character is Gengyao in the same year.

The famous world has the same name as the world crime, and the bright work is the same as the bright work.

Really good poem...
