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

Chapter 260 Supplementary Epitaph

Emperor Yongzheng went on a grand trip, and under the witness of all the courtiers, he took the upright plaque and built a storage box, and then sent people to the House of Internal Affairs to get the originally sealed edict.

The first imperial decree was handed down to Hongli, the fourth prince; the second imperial decree named the three major assistant ministers, and because of the merits of "Records of Emperor Shengzu Ren", Zhang Tingyu, a scholar of Baohe Temple, entered the Taimiao and enjoyed the incense forever.

Under the heavy guard of soldiers, all the ministers kowtowed to the new emperor under the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Old Summer Palace. Some were trembling, some were ecstatic, and some were mourning...

All kinds of living beings are in Zhang Tingyu's eyes.

He just turned his head and looked back indifferently, and stepped out of the palace gate under the cover of the bloody setting sun, as if he was the number one scholar in high school coming out from the main gate of the Forbidden City, or as he was pulling Gu Huai's sleeve with his blood-stained palm back then. ...

Long, long ago, he fantasized about this day.

However, when I really waited to achieve it, I felt that there was nothing in my palm.

Zhang Tingyu, a bachelor of Baohedian University, Minister of Military Aircraft, said "Mr. Zhang" humanely.

With his hand, why doesn't he rule the world?

However, just like all emperors, they will be eternally alone on that dragon chair. Looking back, Zhang Tingyu doesn't seem to have so many things.

Going forward to hold Gu Huaishu's hand, and walking out with her slowly, as if standing under the heavy shadow of the Forbidden City for many years and looking back, there is a sudden sense of vicissitudes and changing stars.

Looking back, it has been half a lifetime of hardships.

Gu Huaishu seemed to be thinking about something. They came from Chang'an Avenue, and watched the news of the emperor's great trip on a galloping horse all the way. Everyone's face showed an unspeakable astonishment, and then turned into that kind of Very deliberately sad.

This kind of sadness gradually emanated from Gu Huaixiu's heart.

She grabbed Zhang Tingyu's finger and asked him hoarsely: "What about in the future..."

Zhang Tingyu was silent for a long time, turned around, stood still, stroked her fingers over the frosty white hair at the sideburns, and touched the color and temperature of ice and snow between his fingertips, making his wrinkled fingers tremble slightly .

Take off the luxurious jewels and emeralds on her head, and then throw them on the ground, adorn emerald peonies and silver hairpins, white jade like jade brocade hairpins, red coral earrings...

One by one, all were thrown on the ground.

He said, "Go home first."

Things were different from what Gu Huaishu knew, but it didn't make any difference if he knew or didn't know.

She looked like she used to be plain-faced, with all her charms gone, when she followed Zhang Tingyu all the way back, she only felt calm and calm.

The Zhang Mansion is still the same as before, but Shanhe has a new owner.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne was not as difficult as when Yinzhen ascended the throne seven years ago, and there was no opposition because his ascension to the throne was justified, and even in fact, few people investigated the cause of the emperor's death.

So far, it always looks bleak.

Zhang Tingyu was busy up and down, but Gu Huaishu snuggled up under the brocade quilt, holding the hand stove, and had nightmares for several nights.

Isn't this life a nightmare?
When Gu Huaishu looked in the mirror, he saw that the beauty was like a flower but she was already old.

It was still dark at dawn, she sat in the twilight morning light, listening to the sad voices outside, and thought of the many people and things she had seen in her life, each of them His face flashed before his eyes, like a revolving lantern.

It is said that Ertai, Li Wei, Tian Wenjing and others have all come to the capital. It was originally the day to report on their duties, but it happened to catch up with the old master's passing day.

When he saw the sun come out and shine in front of her dressing table, Gu Huaishu suddenly had a feeling of radiance.

The sun has set yesterday, can today's day be the same as yesterday's day?

A white hair was stuck on the fine ivory comb, and Gu Huaixiu wrapped the white hair around his fingers, thinking that the years would pass through his fingers, day by day.

She smiled slightly, but felt that what happened to the rest of her life was irrelevant.

As she said before fourth master died, the rest of her life will be spent in repentance.

Whether Zhang Tingyu is like this, no one knows.

The new emperor is a seemingly kind person. He is still young and needs the assistance of ministers, but because he was liked by Lord Kangxi in his early years, he is extraordinarily intelligent.

Prince Bao Hongli, the current Qianlong, settled several unjust cases as soon as he came to the throne.

From Dai Mingshi to Qian Mingshi...

The new emperor claimed that there should never be a scourge of literary prisons, and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to accept an old case submitted by Li Wei, Governor of Zhejiang Province. The unjust case was ordered to the Shen family.However, Lord Yongzheng dealt with the unjust case of Shen Qi at that time. This person had committed a heinous crime, and his injustice was offset by his injustice. He was only allowed to rebuild the mausoleum of the Shen family's deceased as a token of the new emperor's grace.

On the ordinary day of the injustice case, the weather was fine. Li Wei read out the imperial edict, then sent everyone away, and handed the imperial edict to Shen Qu.

Shen Che looked at it, and just threw it directly into the fire: "People go to Wanshi, the injustice case back then was originally for the emperor to make the Shen family powerful, and what a high-sounding misjudgment was, it was just for the sake of the emperor. The emperor is scapegoating..."

Li Wei was silent, and he didn't speak. He only saw the elderly Zhong Heng sitting aside, looking at the account book in his hand, with gray hair on his temples, and an unspeakable turbidity in his eyes, as if he was lifeless.

Shen Chao had an accident, and his followers were almost safe, Zhong Heng is now helping Shen Qu take care of the things at hand, which can be regarded as a good life.

Not daring to go up to see him, Li Wei retreated.

After leaving Wanqing Guild Hall, he passed by Qiyun Zhai again.

This Qiyun Zhai has been around for a long time, and it has gone through three dynasties, and now it has taken off the sign.

Li Wei asked someone to push down the sedan chair, he stopped not because of Qi Yunzhai, but because Gu Huaishou was standing outside Qi Yunzhai in plain light blue clothes.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Wei seemed to see two men standing in front of Gu Huaishu, one was Longkodo, who looked like a playboy, and the other was Nian Gengyao, who looked a little heroic, as if They were discussing some strategy, and several people laughed.

Then, Li Wei's eyes blurred, and the scene disappeared again.

Gu Huaishu was the only one standing in front of Qi Yunzhai.

Before he knew it, Li Wei had already stepped forward and called out "Mother" in a hoarse voice.

Gu Huaixiu is the only one here.

She fixedly looked behind the curtain in the Qiyun Zhaitang, then at the plaque and the wooden cabinet that had been taken down, silently.

A few handymen didn't understand. Seeing that the woman was dressed plainly, she could tell she was not an ordinary person at a glance. There was a young man wearing a first-grade official uniform standing beside her, calling her godmother respectfully. Scared to death.

Where did the big shot come from?
Someone whispered: "Aunt Qiao used to be a maid in the palace. The person who served the empress at that time must be someone I knew before?"

"Hey, Qiao Niang is dead..."

Hearing these people's comments, Gu Huaishu seemed to have finally come to his senses.

As soon as she raised her hand, Li Wei held out his arm for her to put on it, and then slowly turned around.

Without speaking, Gu Huaixiu raised his head to look at the sky, but in his heart there was always only the beautiful sunset of that day in his heart.

The music is over, and the banquet is no longer.

When getting on the sedan chair, Li Wei saw that the curtain outside the sedan chair had fallen, so he signaled to the bearers next to him to let them go first.

The new emperor is different from the previous master. He abolished many of the previous emperor's regulations as soon as he came up, but the military aircraft department and the memorial system have remained.However, there are more and more papers in the imperial court to impeach Zhang Tingyu, the great scholar of Baohe Palace. After all, Zhang Tingyu in the previous dynasty worked for Lord Yongzheng, ransacked his family and exterminated a lot of things, and I don’t know how many rich and powerful people in the past are in rags , became a prisoner of the ranks.

Without Yongzheng's iron fist, the new emperor could only use this method to win over people's hearts.

Fortunately, the shortfall in the treasury had already been filled during the reign of Lord Yongzheng, and a copy of an old heavy iron abacus was copied, and the treasury was filled, reaching the peak state in the past few decades.

Whether Yongzheng was a good emperor or not seems to be left to history to judge.

however……

What is history?

History is the torrent that Gu Huaishu is standing on at this moment. She walks alone, surrounded by a lot of soup, but in reality she is nothing more than an ant.

Zhang Tingyu's life was not very smooth, but as one of the few veterans of the three dynasties, after even Ma Qi left, he became the head of civil servants.

The former Concubine Xi has now become the Empress Dowager, and has begun to enjoy the honor...

The world, after experiencing the misery of the Yongzheng Dynasty, seemed to be heading towards peace at once.

But in Gu Huaixiu's eyes, the sun is already setting and the sun is shining.

When the mountains and rivers go down, always save some last face.

She and Zhang Tingyu left one morning a few years later.

Zhang's mansion in the capital accidentally caught fire, and it burned down overnight. During the Yongzheng period, the late emperor said that he would grant a new house, but Zhang Tingyu didn't accept it, and the old mansion has only lived in it until now.

The day before Zhang's mansion caught fire, Zhang Tingyu handed over a booklet to beg for rest, but Qianlong stayed in the middle school.

In the evening of the next day, he burned Zhang's mansion to a clean slate, and handed over the booklet, saying that it was an ominous omen from the heavens, and that the minister was old and sick, and begged to return to his hometown to enjoy his old age. For a new house.

The new mansion was still in the inner city, Zhang Tingyu felt unhappy seeing the little emperor, handed over the brochure, and left directly.

It was rumored that on that day, Zhang Tingyu majestically placed the imperial edict placed behind the upright plaque by Zhang Tingyu on the front of the mansion. No one dared to knock on the door.

Zhang Tingyu walked in a grand manner, extremely bold, but none of the court officials dared to speak up, not even the most cynical officials dared to impeach Zhang Tingyu.

He presided over the multi-subject examinations, not to mention the peaches and plums all over the world, Li Wei and others also had old friends with him, not to mention that in his early years, his pen was as sharp as a sword.

The Hanlin Academy is still in the hands of Zhang Tingyu. There were a lot of papers about the impeachment of Zhang Tingyu a while ago, but after a while, those who impeached Zhang Tingyu were joined by the Imperial Academy.

The more stable Zhang Tingyu's position was, the more uncomfortable Qianlong felt. How could he allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?

It's just that Zhang Tingyu's qualifications are too old and his status is too high, so no one can move him.

If Qianlong had attacked Zhang Tingyu early, he would have earned a reputation for treating the heroes of the previous dynasty harshly. Isn't this the same as the former emperor?So Qianlong was also quite a headache.

This was a good time, Zhang Tingyu left by himself, although Qianlong was almost so angry that he was punished by others, but in the end, considering Zhang Tingyu's disciples in the court and Ertai's suggestion, he simply gave Zhang Tingyu grace.

Li Wei is the godson of Mrs. Zhang Ertai, but Ertai was the one who was picked up by the first emperor. Qianlong didn't know that Ertai was also related to Gu Huaishu.

As a result, Zhang Tingyu went down the canal safely, and the merchant ships along the way were as prosperous as in the past. When he arrived in Tongling, it was the end of autumn.

Tongcheng looks like it used to, surrounded by three mountains and beautiful scenery.

Gu Huaishu leaned lazily by his side, looking at the long and undulating curve of Longmian Mountain outside the curtain of the car, the thin mist enveloped the mountain forest and rose up, and the pattering autumn rain also fell. See the sound of hoofbeats.

"You, the elder of the three dynasties, killed two generations of emperors. I don't think that one is a righteous one now..."

"How many emperors in the world have a righteous heart?"

Zhang Tingyu didn't want to worry about it anymore, although he had thought about strangling the little emperor to death, it was too shocking.

He smiled slightly: "My father gave way to me in the past, now it's my turn to give way to them..."

While speaking, the carriage had already entered the city.

Tongcheng was raining continuously in autumn, but Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu moved to the mountain to live for a period of time. The mountain residence was very quiet in autumn.

They have a lot of time to count the ups and downs of their respective half lives.

On a small hill, there are a few shabby rooms, where you read with books in your hands, cut a wooden piano, listen to the wind in the pines, and sing bamboo songs...

But if you replace that false name with shallow singing and low-pitched singing, do you feel ambitious again? , and finally returned to quiet.

The emperor felt that the country was not beautiful until he had been in charge of the country; the minister and minister had ruled the world before he felt that the world was difficult to govern.

The older Zhang Xiang is, the more romantic he looks like a hermit in the bamboo forest. He only leans on the window with a piece of bamboo carved, with a focused expression.

He seemed to be carving something important, then gradually stopped, put down the carving knife in his hand and the bamboo scraps on the table, pulled back his sleeves a little, but headed towards the ancestral temple.

There are tombstones and epitaphs one after another.

When Gu Huaishu saw his figure, he only put down a book in his hand, got up and came to his desk, and picked up the piece of bamboo that was as thin as a bamboo stick.

When the wind blew, Gu Huaishu's palms were slightly cold, so he put the bamboo sticks back on the case.

The green bamboo, the yellowish color of the mountain, shrouded in mist, is the sunset.

A line of vigorous and thick lowercase script was engraved on the bamboo stick, lying quietly on the desk.

Unfaithful, unfilial, unfraternal, unkind, unrighteous, unvirtuous, it is rare to be confused Zhang Gongtingyu...

Tomb.
