Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 23 Seventeen Emperor Aunt Guan said that the rejected mother and son were suspicious (1)
There is only a stone's throw from Longzongmen to Cining Palace, and the eunuchs guarding the gate had already seen Yongzheng approaching, so some rushed in to report to Empress Dowager Wu Ya, and the rest knelt down to meet him.Without even looking at the crowd, Yongzheng ordered Li Dequan and Xing Nian to wait at the gate of the palace. He brought his fifth brother and entered the Wuyingdaoxia Gate, meandering in along the east corridor.Facing him from a distance, he saw a woman of the first rank who had just resigned from the apse. It was expected that a family member of a minister entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, but Yongzheng ignored her and walked over.The woman probably heard that the emperor was coming, and she had just avoided it, but unexpectedly, Yongzheng and Yongzheng walked across from each other, hurriedly retreated to the outside of the corridor, prostrated herself on the ground, and when Yongzheng approached, she kowtowed three times and said:
"The concubine Yin Liu respectfully pays homage to Long Live Jin'an!"

"Hmm, Yin and Liu?" Yongzheng stood still, "The only minister surnamed Yin in my court is Yin Tai. Are you his wife?"

"Yes!" Yin Liu raised his head, "Long Live Lord has a good memory!" When Yongzheng looked at it, Yin Liu was about 50 years old, with a straight oval face, and the slender eyebrows were slightly raised upwards, except for the lower lip. Tilted up, obviously a bit savage, I really don't see anything unusual, I just wonder why Yin Tai has the reputation of being "afraid of his wife"?Yongzheng thought about it, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with this memory? Yin Tai is also a disciple of my master, Mr. Gu Badai. I knew him well in the mansion! When I was the prince, I often played chess together. "Yin and Liu said with a smile: "Long live Lord is not what he used to be. He is too busy to play chess. The old man—the concubine master often talks about Long live!"

Yongzheng didn't expect her to be able to climb the pole like this, so he was stunned for a while, and said with a half smile: "What you said is true, I am really too busy to care about anything now. Yin Tai is in charge of the Imperial Academy It's easy to meet, but you can't play chess—are you here to greet the Queen Mother?" Before leaving, Yin Liu hurriedly kowtowed: "It's one thing to ask for greetings. Seven forehead son-in-law's son joined the army, and the concubine had something to do, so he had to swallow it. Seeing the Lord Long Live is a blessing for the concubine, can you hit a wooden clock?" Yongzheng said with a smile: "It's your family. What about the third son, Yin Jishan? Yin Tai has already asked for an order, and he will preside over in Nanwei, so Yin Jishan will naturally avoid it, and he will just enter the exam at Zhang Tinglu's side."

"The concubine is not talking about this," Yin and Liu hurriedly said, "Jiying, Jishan's second brother, is also in his 40s, and no matter how many times he has passed the exam, he wants to ask for a favor!"

Yongzheng thought for a long time before he realized that Yin Jishan was not his son, but Jiying was the first-rank imperial son's biological son, and she came here begging for favor for her son.Yongzheng couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart, but because of the friendship he had with Yin Tai when he had a conversation with Yin Tai on candle-cutting thesis, he could only laugh and said: "This is also a reasonable thing. Kneel down and ask Yin Tai to see me later. Let’s talk.” After speaking, he walked steadily towards the place where the Empress Dowager rested in the back hall, when all the eunuchs and maids saw him coming, they hurriedly raised the curtain to invite him into the hall, and all the people in the hall hurriedly knelt down.

"The Queen Mother is auspicious!" Yongzheng glanced at him and saw Yunxiang kneeling next to Seventeenth Sister and his Fourth Princess. He only nodded, and then went to Qian'er and said, "Son, please be a bit late today. Too much. Ye Lai Chuan asked the imperial doctor, but the mother’s cough was still not good. The son has already sent an order to ask Lama Luo Zang Zhabu of Qinghai to come to Beijing to pray for his mother. It’s irrelevant for the spring to be warm. Mother just don’t worry. It doesn't matter if you are a little sick." Then, he took a sip of the fried medicine handed by the maid, and carried it with both hands to the low table on Wuya's kang.

Wu Yashi was originally leaning on the big welcoming pillow. When he saw him coming in, he had already struggled to sit up, and smiled reluctantly: "The emperor, get up. It's hard for your filial piety. I have been sick for more than ten years. Sometimes it gets better and sometimes it doesn't. , I am used to it too. You are the most concerned about my Buddha. The Buddha is in the Lingshan, and the Lingshan is in my heart. I know in my heart that the Buddha is going to call me. I don’t need any lamas. Today I see that my son has already sat in the court. , I let go and go to see the late emperor, I'm so upset!" After saying that, he coughed twice, Yongzheng hurriedly stepped forward to gently beat her back, and Yunxiang hurriedly brought over the spittoon.

"Mother's words make people sad." Yongzheng patted her back lightly for her, and comforted her softly in a low voice, "Mr. Wu, do you know? It is the Wu Sidao who lived in the West Garden of Lama Temple for more than ten years, who is proficient in 'Yi' Jing'xiangshu, last year he gave him money to go back to hermitage. The thirteenth brother asked him to divination for his mother, who died at the age of [-]! Mr. Wu is not ordinary, and he will not lie to me, so you have to rest assured, Listen to that lama in red come to beg for blessings for you, so you don’t have to worry about your illness!" Yunxiang hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "everything the emperor said is true. The surname Wu is in Shanxi now. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, I invite him Go to Beijing and ask him to perform the magic number for you face to face!"

One sentence reminded Yongzheng, he gently helped his mother to lie down, and asked: "Has Nuo Min's memorial paper arrived yet?" Brother told me." Yun Xiang frowned and muttered: "Nuo Min listed the seventeen deadly crimes for herself, and they all said that she was deceived by her subordinates, and she seemed to be right. I also asked the Ministry to discuss it, and asked another member of the imperial court to investigate thoroughly. Qing Shanxi deficit case. In the final analysis, he only confessed to the crime of "clean but not clear". If you investigate carefully, you will have to deal with it, and there is no reason to deal with Nuo Min alone, so the minister is also very embarrassed..." "He dared to be so arrogant because he was sure that the imperial court was unwilling to go to war!" Yongzheng Gritting his teeth and sneering, "Based on his intentions, I will settle him! I don't need to worry about this matter in the study. You go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and send them Nuo Min's apology book, and ask the censors to give it to you." He convicts, what crime is he convicted of, and what crime he commits! ——How about Nian Gengyao?"

"If you go back to Long live," Yunxiang glanced at the queen mother who was reclined on the big welcome pillow, and saw that the queen mother was staring at Yongzheng quietly, she didn't seem to be tired, so she replied, "Nian Gengyao said a lot of thanks during the banquet. Tianen asked the minister to act on behalf of the emperor, and ordered the military department of the household department to quickly transport the military uniforms that should be replaced in spring, as well as the marching pots and stoves, to the camp. He will move the camp when he returns, from Ganzhou to In Xining, the troops were divided into two groups, all the way to guard Litang, Batang, and Huangshengguan, and cut off the rebels' access to Tibet; Tiaoyue Zhongqi garrisoned Yongchang and Bulongji River to prevent Luobu Zangtenzeng from entering Gansu. He led the Chinese army to attack Luobu Zang Danzeng." Yongzheng didn't know anything about military affairs, and after listening silently, he suddenly smiled and said, "Among the brothers, you are the most proficient in the art of war, what do you think of his arrangement?" Yunxiang thought to himself, among the more than 20 beile shellfish, The one who has really led soldiers and fought in battle is the fourteenth elder brother Yun.The so-called "the most proficient in the art of war" was actually said to the Queen Mother.Knowing this level clearly, Yun Xiang didn't dare to tell the truth, let alone concede, thinking, he said with a smile: "I think Nian Gengyao's plan is quite appropriate. However, the northwest region is vast and boundless, and it is not as good as the southeast being blocked by the sea. Nian Gengyao's measures are good, because he feared that Luobu Zang Tenzin would be forced to flee westward to Zhungeer and join forces with Alabutan. Although there is no serious harm in front of him, there are hidden dangers left, which will lead to future disasters. Disaster. The younger brother thought that the army of Jingni General Fu Ning'an could be transferred to the west first, stationed at Turpan and Gasikou, and cut off the enemy's passage from Khalkha to Mongolia. The morale of the army will naturally be chaotic without fighting. Since Funing'an is not controlled by Nian Gengyao, this matter must be decided by Long Live."

"Close the door and beat the dog, good!" Yongzheng clasped his palms together in excitement, his eyes sparkling, and said, "That's it. You don't need to discuss this with Nian Gengyao any more. You just go to the study to pass the decree and tell the Ministry of Households to hurry up." Transfer [-] stones of polished rice and send [-] pigs to Funing'an's army, so that Funing'an doesn't have to come to Beijing to see him, and immediately take the battalion from the headquarters to Turpan and Gasikou in light clothes—how much does it cost from Yikezhao to Turpan Day?" Yun Xiang hurriedly said: "Ikezhao is still in a world of ice and snow, the grasslands are covered with snow, and the supply of food and grass is difficult. Even if the snow turns the grass into fertilizer in spring, it will take one month to get Turpan, can you—" Yongzheng didn't wait for him to say Then he said: "I think this is the most important thing! Give him [-] days to arrive in Turpan. The grain and grass are called the governors of Gansu and Shanxi provinces. Horses don't have to eat grass on the grassland to be fat. They are called Ganshan and Shanxi, and they are transported. If you go to the army, you will be dealt with in accordance with military law if you violate the deadline!"

It is an unheard of method to march on the prairie to transport grass from the interior to feed the horses. Besides, after the beginning of spring, the horses in Ganshan and Shanxi will eat donkey chews, and the grass for cooking stoves must be imported from the Central Plains. Just as I was about to say, "Nian Gengyao will be able to make a large-scale march this autumn, and getting rich and peaceful is a big deal, but not urgent." Suddenly, a thought popped up, and I realized that this is the emperor's "military talent" to show off, and I must not touch this bad luck. , let alone expose this piece of paper, thinking about it, hurriedly beat Qian'er and said: "I am stupid! Soldiers are precious and quick to predict the enemy's opportunity, the emperor's sage is far beyond the reach of my minister! I will go to the study and inform Ting Yu Deliver the decree again!" Saying this, he stood up and was about to back out.

"Wait a minute." Yongzheng rested his chin in thought, and said, "This is the first major event I've done since I ascended to the throne. How dare I ignore it even if the Holy Grandpa didn't finish it? This matter needs to be handled by a special person in Beijing." In the afternoon of the military, the feather books are like snow. After all, the study room is just a 'study room', which deals with clerical affairs. Your old thirteen also has two Zhang Tingyu and Long Keduo, and another name, um...it's called Military Aircraft Minister! Three of you will be allocated to the guard room on the west side of Tianjie Street outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Someone must handle military affairs at twelve hours a day and night. They will be given the name of "Military Aircraft Department" and have the right to consult with the six ministries and nine ministers in charge of military affairs. You see how?"

Hearing his remarks at first, Yunxiang thought it was a bit unbelievable, but when he thought about it carefully, in fact, Yongzheng took advantage of this memory to seize the military command and built a new small study room, which was not called the study room. The elder brother Yunzhi, the eighth elder brother Yun left the center of power without showing any trace.It's really thanks to him that he figured it out in a moment.After being stunned for a long while, Yun Xiang finally thought that he should leave, and hurriedly agreed, the voice was so loud that even he was startled.

"Oh," Yongzheng waited for Yunxiang to withdraw, and after a long time he gave a self-conscious smile, bowed and said, "The Empress Dowager, I only cared about chatting with the old thirteen, and didn't ask you whether you have any shortages. Can you benefit from this meeting?" Staring at the algae well on the top of the hall for a long time, he let out a deep sigh from the bottom of his heart, as if he was talking to Yongzheng, but also murmured to himself: "When Axiu was not a monk, she was the most conversant with me in the palace. ...Back when I was pregnant with your fourteenth brother, Axiu came to my palace to make friends and make divinations, and got a double-dragon elephant, and she told me that I was pregnant with a boy. Later, I really agreed, and the late emperor was happy, I named your fourteenth brother Yinzhen, which is only half a stroke away from your name Yin, and the word "" was changed only because the sound is too close—it is similar to the old thirteenth in character and appearance... ...Alas..." Only then did Yongzheng realize that his mother was missing Yun, so he smiled apologetically and said, "The Fourteenth Brother is in Beijing now. He used to lead troops in the Xidaying Camp, but this time he sent troops to release horses. I wanted to ask him to go back. But mother, you are not in good health, I am afraid that he will be in suspense. I can't bear him to suffer when leading soldiers. I don't even want to let the thirteenth brother go! Fourteenth brother, I just ask him to come in and wait on him."
