Chapter 45 The forty-fifth round of fighting each other for power and plotting, the generals were sad and lost their power, and they killed themselves, and the elders became murderers

Yang Liuqing was swept away by the mountain torrents, and even the body could not be found. Tang Xiaolan felt guilty, and after burying her teacher Yang Zhongying, she followed Lu Siniang to Mangshan Mountain. At that time, Emperor Yongzheng's throne was firmly established, and he used severe torture and cruel laws to rule the world. Under high pressure, it was not easy for righteous people to rise up, and most of them disappeared, showing the calm before the storm. Fortunately, Gan Fengchi sent people to notify quickly, and most of the leaders related to the Lu Liuliang case were able to escape. However, Zhou Jingyu in Qingzhou, Huang Buyan in Xiangcheng, and many people who published and collected Lu's books were imprisoned. He was executed for the crime, or was exiled into the army, causing an uproar, and it took half a year before it gradually subsided.

Lv Siniang was very angry. One day, she discussed with Gan Fengchi that she wanted to go to the capital to assassinate Yongzheng.Gan Fengchi said: "Eight sister is a hero among women and a hero among men. Don't you hear that a gentleman takes revenge, and it's not too late for ten years. Now is the time when Yongzheng is in full swing, we should endure a little longer and wait for the opportunity." Lv Siniang sighed He said: "I don't know this truth, but seeing Yongzheng's tyranny and killing innocent people indiscriminately, I really can't restrain my anger."

Gan Fengchi said: "I went down the mountain the day before yesterday and heard a few stories about Yongzheng. Let me tell you, you will know that Yongzheng is very careful. "The first one is the story of Wang Yunjin, the number one scholar in the new discipline. Yongzheng valued Wang Yunjin very much because he was the first number one scholar after he came to the throne. The civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty saw that the emperor valued Wang Yunjin, so they all went to worship him. It's really true. Cars and horses are noisy, and the gates are like a market. This Wang Zhuangyuan is an official residence, and he is very leisurely. In addition to doing poetry and writing, he likes to play cards. One day after returning from the morning, Wang Zhuangyuan and several colleagues are in the study again Playing cards, a sudden gust of wind blew the cards down on the ground, picked them up to check, but one was missing, Wang Zhuangyuan didn't care, and ordered his family to change a deck of cards and play again. The next day, Wang Yunjin went to court, Yongzheng The emperor suddenly asked him: "What do you usually do for entertainment at home?" Wang Yunjin was honest, kowtowed and said: "I have no other hobbies, but I like playing cards." Yongzheng laughed: "I heard that you yesterday It became a pair of big cards, and suddenly one was blown away by the wind. Is there such a thing?" Wang Yunjin was very surprised, and prostrated and said: "The holy master has learned thousands of miles, this is the case." Yongzheng said: "This piece Have you found the card?" Wang Yunjin said: "No." Yongzheng laughed loudly, threw a card from the dragon case, and said, "Wang Yunjin, forgive your innocence, look up, look at this card , Is it the one you lost.' Wang Yunjin was so frightened when he saw it, he quickly kowtowed and said yes. Yongzheng smiled and said, "You are very honest and never lied to me. I have found the lost card for you. You go home and settle the situation.' After this incident, all civil and military officials in the court were frightened, and they were cautious when talking in private, and never dared to discuss the government affairs."

After Gan Fengchi finished speaking, Lu Siniang said: "This must be the trick of Xuedizi." Gan Fengchi said: "Needless to say? Yongzheng now greatly expands Xuedizi to serve as his eyes and ears. It will definitely not be as easy for us to enter Beijing as it used to be." Lv Siniang said with a smile: "Listen to you, this is really good news." Gan Fengchi said: "Yongzheng's defenses are strict, how is this good news?" Lv Siniang said: "He even has suspicions about his own ministers, he can't believe it. Isn't this a real "lonely family and widowed person"? A single husband, what is there to be afraid of?" Gan Fengchi thought for a while, understood what Lu Siniang meant, and said: "What the eighth sister said is true." Then he said: "Yongzheng It’s just suspicion and precaution for Beijing officials, and the methods of foreign ministers are even cooler. Some of the frontier officials in the former dynasty were withdrawn, replaced, and killed. Even civilian officials could not be avoided. There is a cruel 'joke', I will say it again Let me hear it for you. Have you heard of Zha Siting's name?" Lu Siniang said: "Zha Siting is from Zhejiang. Did something unfortunate happen?"

Gan Fengchi said with a smile: "Yongzheng even killed him." Lv Siniang said with a smile: "Even a person who is loyal to the court like Zha Siting can't keep his head?" Appointed to be an examiner in Jiangxi, he came up with a question for the exam titled 'Wei Min Zhi Zhi'. I don't understand what Confucius said, but I heard that it was taken from the Four Books, and it is a very common sentence." Lu Siniang nodded, and Gan Fengchi said: "But Yongzheng said that the characters for 'Wei' and 'Zhi' mean that 'Yongzheng has lost his head' and he committed a crime of treason and immorality. Ting fell ill from fright, died in prison, and was still punished by poking his corpse, do you think it is miserable?"

Lu Siniang said with a smile: "The crueler he is, the more cowardly he appears. I think the day when 'Yongzheng has lost his head' is not far away." Gan Fengchi said: "Because many foreign officials were withdrawn, replaced and killed, many vacancies were left. There is another joke here. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, all yamen are on holiday, and the officials go home for reunion. The Lantern Festival was overwhelmed by wine. There was a clerk in the cabinet yamen named Lan Lizhong. Because his hometown was far away in Fuyang, Zhejiang, he stayed alone in the yamen. He bought half a catty of wine, cut a plate of beef, and drank alone in front of the moon. Sigh. Suddenly a big man walked in and asked, "Are you the only one left here? Why are you sighing?" The clerk surnamed Lan thought he was the guard of the yamen, so he invited him to have a drink and said to him, "I am here. I have been a small recorder here for eight years without knowing it. This poor job is really tasteless. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it. The money to buy wine is all borrowed, so how can I not feel it." The big man said: "Do you want to be an official?" Why is it my turn to be an official?" The big man drank a glass of wine and said, "What kind of official do you want to be?" Lan Lizhong felt a little drunk, rolled up his sleeves, patted the table, and said, "Brother I don’t have the good fortune to be an official. If I can be an official in Hebo in Guangdong, my wish is fulfilled. Although the official position in Hebo is small, the filial piety of the import and export boats is at least three to five thousand taels a year.” That big man Smiling, he thanked and left. The next day, Yongzheng passed down the "imperial decree" and transferred this little recorder to Guangdong to be an official of the Hepo Office. The emperor who wanted to work them made a special decree. Later, when the news got out, some people guessed that the big man was also Yongzheng's eyes and ears if it wasn't Yongzheng himself."

Lv Siniang said with a smile: "This recorder surnamed Lan has had 'good luck'. However, it is not a good thing for a villain to succeed." Wanton corruption, leaving ships in distress, extorting fishermen, and doing everything. He was a river official who was appointed by imperial order, and his superiors dared not control him. Later, the fishermen were aroused, and they secretly killed him and sank his body at the bottom of the river. Feed the fish. The boss never investigated the matter because he never sells his account. He just put it on record. It’s ridiculous that he wanted to be an official, but he ended up dying.”

After Gan Fengchi told these stories, he sighed, and said again: "Lan Lizhong is just an official in a small river. There are many high-ranking officials who are more corrupt than him, but the common people are helpless. .” Lu Siniang said: "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials cannot be killed. Unless we uproot the Aixinjueluo family's dynasty." Gan Fengchi said: "Difficult, difficult. Manchuria is in full swing, and our generation may not be able to see it fall." Lu Siniang said: "There is an old saying: a husband doesn't care about success or failure when doing things. Although I am a woman who goes through fire and water, I do my part." Yongzheng killed him, but he might not be able to."

Gan Fengchi pondered for a while, and said: "Eight younger sister's words enlightened me. If the righteousness lies, you should go all out, and the success does not need to be mine. I think it is beyond the power of a few people to expel the Manchus and restore the Han Dynasty." Li Zhi said a few days ago that he wanted to enter Sichuan, because Sichuan still had his father’s old ministry, and he discussed with me, but I didn’t dare to agree at the time. Because Sichuan is the place under the jurisdiction of Nian Gengyao, and Li Chixin’s remaining old tribes were several Very few. Li Zhiruo’s activities in Sichuan are quite dangerous. Now it seems that it is better to let him go. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and it is worth taking some risks. I also want to go to Jiangnan in a few days and visit some members of the gang Leader, although it is not yet possible to gather crowds to cause trouble, at least it can prevent them from colluding with the government."

A few days later, the plans of the heroes on Mount Mang had been decided, Li Zhi and Feng Lin went to Sichuan together, and Gan Fengchi went to the south of the Yangtze River.Yu Ke's father and daughter and Bai Taiguan also went out to sea again, looking for the remaining pirates on the islands.Tang Xiaolan was still sad, but wanted to go back to Tianshan Mountain with Feng Ying, so Lu Siniang let them go together after thinking about it. Half of the heroes of Mang Mountain have left, and Lu Siniang is left to guard the master's tomb on the mountain. Spring and autumn come, and the cold and heat change unknowingly. During these two years, Lu Siniang practiced sword day and night. , and also refer to the changes of Tianshan swordsmanship and Bodhidharma swordsmanship to improve and gain, which is more powerful than her master back then.

Two years passed in a flash, but the outside world has undergone tremendous changes.One day, when Gan Fengchi came back, he told Lu Siniang happily, "What you expected before has happened. From now on, we only need to deal with Yongzheng." Lu Siniang said, "Has Nian Gengyao been eliminated by Yongzheng?" Gan Fengchi said: "He hasn't been killed yet, but it's miserable enough. He was relegated from the first class and governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi to guard the city gate." Although Lu Siniang expected that Yongzheng would not tolerate Nian Gengyao, she did not expect it It was so fast, and Nian Gengyao was demoted to guard the city gate, which is an unimaginable miracle! Gan Fengchi said with a smile: "For Nian Gengyao, demoting him to guard the city gate is really more uncomfortable than being killed. But what else can he do now, his military power has been deprived." Immediately Gan Fengchi said Nian for Lu Siniang How Gengyao was demoted. After Nian Gengyao returned from his westward expedition to Qinghai, he was granted the title of "First Class Duke" and still concurrently served as the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. His prestige was unprecedented.Nian Gengyao was also very smart. He knew that he had made great achievements and that he could never let go of his military power, so he didn't want to stay in Beijing. Not long after the emperor's military service, he led his troops back to Shanchuan.Unexpectedly, Yongzheng was smarter than him, and secretly supported his deputy, Yue Zhongqi. Yue Zhongqi won over his subordinates and gradually took control of the real power in the army. Soon, under the pretext of the civil uprising in Xikang, he ordered Yue Zhongqi to lead the army to quell the chaos. In order to avoid Nian Gengyao's dissatisfaction, He also explained to him in particular, saying that "you can't use a ox knife to cut chickens, and you don't dare to be a general because of ringworm and scabies." Because Yue Zhongqi has always been loyal to him, Nian Gengyao never expected that Yue Zhongqi would betray him.Moreover, he built a palace-like mansion in Xi'an, and he was accompanied by a beautiful wife. Since the imperial edict asked Yue Zhongqi to go, he was also happy to "enjoy happiness" in Xi'an. Yue Zhongqi took part of his troops and went to Xikang. After losing several battles, emergency documents came flying in, and Yongzheng dispatched Nian Gengyao's troops to rescue them in batches.The front line needed reinforcements, so Nian Gengyao certainly didn't dare to disobey the order, and the ones he rescued were his own subordinates, so he had to send troops hastily.Such successive reinforcements actually reduced Nian Gengyao's troops by nine out of ten.Nian Gengyao was so anxious that he scolded Yue Zhongqi for pustules every day in the governor's mansion, and almost wanted to recommend himself to the governor's office and personally go to the front line to be the governor. Unexpectedly, this was exactly the plan Yongzheng and Yue Zhongqi had made, and the successive defeats were completely intentional.When Nian Gengyao's troops were transferred to Xikang nine out of ten, he immediately turned "losing" into victory, and the imperial edict ordered Yue Zhongqi to stay in Xikang "temporarily" and not come back. It's ridiculous that none of the civil and military officials in the dynasty knew Yongzheng's true meaning. When news of the defeat spread frequently, they impeached Yue Zhongqi one after another, saying that he was not a general, and asked Yongzheng to transfer Nian Gengyao.Yongzheng also repeatedly ordered to "reprimand" Yue Zhongqi, deliberately showing it to Nian Gengyao. None of the civil and military officials in the court knew that Nian Gengyao had secretly lost power, and no one thought of impeaching him.At that time, there was a minister named Tian Wenjing, who was released as the governor of Hedong. He and Yongzheng's favorite minister Ertai, Li Minda and others were close friends. paperwork.Because Master Wu was recommended by Li Minda, Tian Wenjing thinks highly of him.Strange to say, all the memorials handled by Master Wu were never criticized by the emperor, and occasionally they were criticized if they were not handled by him, so Tian Wenjing trusted Master Wu even more. One day, Master Wu suddenly asked Tian Wenjing, "Would you like to be a famous minister?" Tian Wenjing was very surprised, and replied, "Is there any need to talk about it? Of course I would like to be a famous minister!" I would like to be a famous minister, and I would also like to be a famous staff member." Tian Wenjing said: "How do you want to be a famous curtain?" Mr. Wu said: "Please let me do something, my lord. Don't come to consult." Tian Wenjing said "What are you going to do, sir?" Mr. Wu said, "I plan to write a memorial for the lord, but the lord is not allowed to know a word of what is said in the memorial. Once this memorial is published, the lord can become a famous minister." Already!" Seeing that he was so sure, Tian Wenjing recalled that the memorial he had prepared had never been criticized by the emperor, so he boldly asked him to try it. That night, the lights in Mr. Wu's room were lit until dawn, and Tian Wenjing couldn't sleep all night. .Early in the morning of the second day, Master Wu sealed the written memorial in a large envelope, sealed it with wax paint, and asked Tian Wenjing to stamp the seal of the governor of Hedong. What is it, sir, can you reveal a thing or two?" Master Wu said angrily: "My lord can't believe me, so that's all, I'll leave immediately!" Tian Wenjing hurriedly said: "Sir, don't be suspicious, since you can't reveal it, I will Just put the big seal on it." After stamping the seal, he immediately stepped up with a fast horse and bowed to the capital. After the memorial was sent out, Tian Wenjing was worried about gains and losses. He wanted to ask Master Wu many times, but he dared not. To prevent him from escaping, after the results of the memorial, if there is nothing wrong, then let it go, if there is something wrong, then kill Master Wu first. But Master Wu remained silent, as usual.Seven days later, Di Chao (official newspaper) came from Jingzhong Kuaima. Tian Wenjing took it apart and saw it, and was terrified to death. What do you think is the memorial written by Master Wu?It turned out that he had impeached two powerful and prestigious people in a memorial.The first person to impeach was Nian Gengyao, who said that he had conspired against the law, disregarded human life, withheld military pay, and killed the admiral without authorization. He was accused of various crimes that cannot be listed.The second person impeached was the uncle Longkodo, who said that he was an adulterer with Nian Gengyao, corrupted the law, hid jade dishes privately, and conspired against others. He should be guilty of the same crime as Nian Gengyao!If it was for Tian Wenjing to know first, even if he had the courage, he would not dare to publish this memorial! After reading this memorial, the emperor was in the middle of his heart, and immediately ordered that Gengyao's first-class title last year should be cut off, and Yue Zhongqi, the general of Fuyuan and governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, should be replaced.But the emperor was also worried that Nian Gengyao still had a small army in Shaanxi, so he didn't dare to kill him immediately, so the imperial decree said that he still had a little skill in reciting him, and he could still practice with soldiers, so he was asked to go back to Hangzhou to train soldiers.As for Longkodo, he will be handed over to Wang Xibao of Shuncheng County for interrogation, and all titles and titles will be cut off first, and he will be thrown into prison.As for Tian Wenjing, a decree was issued to commend him, saying that he "served the country with all his heart, was not afraid of the powerful, bold and outspoken, and ordered him to be promoted to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi." These are the things written in the mansion copy. Tian Wenjing held the copy of the mansion sent by the fast horse, surprised and happy, his hands and feet were still trembling for a long time, and he couldn't return to normal.Then Mr. Wu walked in with a smile, and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted. My lord's wish to be a famous minister has been fulfilled, so I shall take my leave." This memorial does not add guilt, but rewards, otherwise I would not be able to give birth to your governor's office." Tian Wenjing was frightened into a cold sweat, knowing that Master Wu already knew what he had arranged for the previous two days, and it was inconvenient to plead guilty, which was very embarrassing .Master Wu laughed again: "It's no wonder my lord, if I hadn't used my lord's name without permission, there would be no second official in the world who would dare to impeach Nian Gengyao and Longkodo!" At this time, Tian Wenjing knew that Mr. Wu must be an extraordinary person, thanked him again and again, and asked tentatively: "Mr. has such courage, and Tian admires it very much. I don't know where Mr. Wu worked before. Why don't you dare to do it?" Master Wu laughed and said, "You have already fulfilled your wish to be promoted, why bother to ask me about my background? Knowing my background will do you no good. We will have a date later, so I will take my leave first." Tian Wenjing old During his official career, at this time, his heart was clear, and he knew that Mr. Wu must be the emperor's confidant, so he quickly took out three hundred taels of gold and gave him as "pen reward".Don't dare to ask again, let him resign. Nian Gengyao was stripped of his posts as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and general of Fuyuan. Yue Zhongqi immediately rushed back to Xi'an from Xikang to receive the seal. A hundred soldiers were dispatched to send him back to the south.Nian Gengyao suppressed his anger and said with a big laugh, "brother, do what you do best and don't make the same mistake as me! I have been a soldier all my life, and I have fought for the emperor in the north and south, and I have not been shrouded in horse leather. So far, what do I have to fear? Going back, if there is danger, you will not be able to protect me, I appreciate your kindness!" Eyes sparkling, still with the majesty of the past, Yue Zhongqi didn't dare to speak to him again, and hurriedly withdrew. Nian Gengyao had ruled the army for many years, and he had a group of most trusted generals. These people depended on Nian Gengyao for good and bad, and with the mood of "burning cold stoves", they hoped that Nian Gengyao could make a comeback in the future, so they resigned one after another. He goes south.Yue Zhongqi didn't hold back either, and approved one by one.Nian Gengyao took dozens of his old subordinates and two to three hundred veterans to Hangzhou.In a few days, I arrived at Yihui on the north bank of the Yangtze River. There are two roads in Yizheng, flood and drought. From the south of the waterway, you can reach Hangzhou, and from the north of the dry road, you can reach Beijing.Nian Gengyao thought to himself that he had made great efforts for Yongzheng, but now that his military power has been cut, the emperor should feel relieved, if he could meet face to face and intercede, he might be able to take up a noble position, so as to protect his life, he would not immediately go to Hangzhou to take up the post of military training In the memorial, there are two sentences: "Yizheng will divide the journey by water and land, and I will wait here for Lunyin."Unexpectedly, Yongzheng said that he was rebellious intentionally and wanted to lead troops into Beijing to force the palace. While submitting Nian Gengyao's memorial to the Ministry of Officials for trial, he personally issued an order to the six ministers: "At the beginning of my imperial era, Gengyao of Longke for many years put his heart in it, and he had no guesses and defenses. Therefore, he was loyal to him and hoped that he would repay him. Who knows that I regard him as one virtue, but he has two hearts; I honor him , I was fortunate to be an invitation. Recruiting power and accepting bribes, doing prestige and blessings, daring to bully others, and enduring disobedience. Since he regards the constitution as a fashion, how can I tolerate and support treacherous evil? Those who go to his door, or those who wish to It is recommended and aided, fearing its harm, it is urgent to break up the party and change the face. If the relationship is still the same, we must conceal the cunning and deception. Once discovered, the crime of rebellion against the party will be punished." A group of ministers, after seeing this decree, knew that the emperor would never let Nian Gengyao go, so you have a copy, and I have a copy, and they all said in unison that Nian Gengyao deserved to die, and Yongzheng is also wonderful. After many memorials, I summed it up and said that according to the memorials, Nian Gengyao had 18 major crimes. Now I am lenient, and each crime is only downgraded by one level. General, demoted to Hangzhou to guard the city gate! As for Longkodo, because his sister (Yongzheng's concubine, who was named a concubine) begged the emperor for mercy, Yongzheng just hated him for serving Nian Gengyao in the past, and was jealous that he knew that he had usurped the throne, but he expected him not to rebel. , he was sentenced to eternal imprisonment, and his wife's property was exempted from confiscation.Compared with Nian Gengyao, it is a blessing among misfortunes. After listening to Gan Fengchi's account of Nian Gengyao's demotion, Lu Siniang pondered for a while, and said, "Nian Gengyao deserves today's report. We don't have to deal with him. Seventh brother, I have practiced swordsmanship for two years. This time, you will not prevent me from entering the capital." Gan Fengchi knew her intentions, and said with a smile: "You have been bored on the mountain for two years, so you should go down and walk. However, entering the capital Probably have to wait a while longer.” The next day Lu Siniang and Gan Fengchi Shen Zaikuan went down the mountain hand in hand (Shen Zaikuan has already acquired quite a lot of internal energy and learned some martial arts from Lu Siniang, which is far from what it used to be).This is not for the time being. In addition, Nian Gengyao was demoted to Hangzhou to guard the city gate. It was no coincidence that the general of Hangzhou was not someone else. He was almost killed, and was later punished to blow the horn to watch the night, Lu Huchen, who was a watchman in the camp.Yongzheng demoted Nian Gengyao to Hangzhou to guard the city gate, he really intended to make things difficult for Lu Huchen. Nian Gengyao knew that Lu Huchen was guarding Hangzhou, but he didn't take it to heart.On the third day, Nian Gengyao sat cross-legged under the city gate, basking in the sun freely, and there was silence inside and outside the city gate.It turned out that the people of Hangzhou were afraid of Nian Gengyao's murderous spirit, and knowing that he was guarding the north gate, they agreed by coincidence, so they did not enter or exit through the north gate.At this time, all the old troops following Nian Gengyao had dispersed, and only one veteran was still by his side.The veteran saw this situation for three days, and said to Nian Gengyao: "Although the general is humiliated today, he still enjoys his prestige. The officials and people dare not insult the general." Nian Gengyao sighed: "That's the only way. , Yongzheng will not let me go." While he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs beating to clear the way. Nian Gengyao said with a smile, "Here comes someone who wants to insult me!" Asking the veteran to avoid it, he saw Lu Huchen riding a tall horse, surrounded by the guards. Get out of town.Nian Gengyao smiled faintly, still sat cross-legged, stretched, facing the sun. Lu Huchen saw that Nian Gengyao was so ostentatious, he was furious and wanted to humiliate Nian Gengyao, so he walked up to him and said with a sneer, "Nian Gengyao, do you still recognize me?" Nian Gengyao squinted and said: "So it's you. It's probably better to be the general of Hangzhou than to be my watchman, right? No wonder you're so proud!" Lu Huchen couldn't help scolding because of his old hatred, "Nian Gengyao, since you know me, Why don't you stand up and welcome!" Nian Gengyao smiled again after hearing this, and said, "Lu Huchen, do you want our family to stand up? It's not difficult for me to stand up, but when I stand up, you have to kneel down!" Lu Huchen laughed and said, "My majestic Hangzhou general, do you still want to kneel down to you, the official who guards the city gate?" Nian Gengyao said, "I don't know how many times you have kneeled down. Kneel me, but when you see the emperor or something that represents the emperor, you should kneel down, right?" Lu Huchen sneered, "Naturally, but you are not an imperial envoy, what else can represent the emperor?" Nian Gengyao stood up unhurriedly, untied his livery, and saw that the gown he was wearing was embroidered with two golden dragons. The "Long Live Card" with the five-clawed golden dragon came, and he placed it on the small stool where he was sitting, and shouted: "Lu Huchen, kneel!" He bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. It turns out that both the "Panlong Coat" and the "Long Live Card" were given to Nian Gengyao by Yongzheng when he was marching west in the past. "Panlong coat" is worn by those who have made great achievements, but that's all.The "long live card" is something that represents the emperor, and those who see this card are like seeing the emperor in person.When Gengyao went west in the previous year, Yongzheng gave him this card in order to marry him, so that he could order the governors of various provinces without asking for instructions.In the feudal dynasty, this is an extremely rare "honor".However, Nian Gengyao used to have a great reputation. Although the governors of various provinces were equal to him in terms of official rank, none of them dared to go against his will. card, but never used it.Yongzheng did not allow Nian Gengyao to visit Beijing this time, and even demoted him 18 ranks. The things that were rewarded to him before, including the "Long Live Card", were not confiscated.Nian Gengyao just used it to his advantage, but he humiliated Lu Huchen a lot.Lu Huchen went back to the Yamen with hatred, repaired the table overnight, and played it on the table. He participated in the impeachment of Nian Gengyao for bullying and overstepping. When Lu Huchen drove to the north gate, the citizens in the city knew that there must be a good show. Although they dared not approach, they stopped and watched from a distance. After Lu Huchen was humiliated, they drove back to the Yamen angrily. They broke up again.Nian Gengyao glanced sideways and smiled faintly, seemingly indifferent to the commotion outside. When he saw it, he suddenly saw the back of a young girl slowly disappearing among the crowd.This back looks so much like Feng Lin's, Nian Gengyao felt dumbfounded. Nian Gengyao liked Feng Lin at first, but later because things were difficult to get along with, he married the daughter of the Mongolian vassal, Jiategege.At this time, Nian Gengyao watched the girl's back slowly disappear, and unconsciously recalled the scene of playing with Feng Lin in the big garden when he was a child.Looking up at the sky, looking at the hometown, I couldn't help but sighed slightly, thinking in my heart: "If I had refused to surrender to the current emperor, although I would not have the fame in the future, this wonderful person would be mine, and I will wander the rivers and lakes with her , wouldn’t it be better than a prince or general?” But the thought flashed in his mind, and then he smiled and said: “If a man can’t live forever, he will be stigmatized for thousands of years. I can have today, regardless of success or failure, it will be recorded in the annals of history , what hatred do you have!" Waving his sleeves and smiling, he sat on the shabby little stool basking in the sun again. However, his desire to be still could not be still. Although Nian Gengyao did not regret until his death, he couldn't help but think of his wife and children. However, after her death, Zeng Jing may not be reliable, and the old department is afraid that it will be difficult to find someone who is willing to take care of her orphan. Thinking of this, even a hero for a lifetime can't help but feel sad.Thinking about it, I don't realize that the golden bird is falling to the west, the jade rabbit is rising to the east, and the night is quietly coming again. The north gate of Hangzhou faces Lingyin and faces Qiantang in the distance.The night was quiet, and Nian Gengyao was still sitting alone on the tower. He could only hear the surging river outside the city, and the faint music and music inside the city. He suddenly remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be two days away, and he felt even more lonely.The old soldier was originally a family member of the Nian family. When Nian Gengyao was betrayed by his relatives, he was the only one who hadn't given up yet. At this time, he called out in the watch building: "The general sleeps, and this old slave will keep watch for you." Nian Gengyao sighed. "No need. I don't know how many people have been promoted by me. I didn't expect to be accompanied by you and me tonight." After speaking, someone suddenly sneered and said, "Nian Gengyao, don't sigh, I'm here to visit you Woolen cloth." Nian Gengyao looked up, and saw a figure standing in front of him, but it was Fang Jinming, the former 14th Baylor's confidant guard, and Che Bixie, who was also called the second treasure of Yunyu's army.Only Fang Jinming sneered and said: "Nian Gengyao, I never thought you would have today! I think back then, when you committed crimes, usurped the throne for Yunzhen, and murdered Fourteen Baylor, I only thought that you would rise from the top to the top, with great honor, and I couldn't do anything to you But I don’t know that Yunzhen will come to deal with you today, haha, haha!” Fang Jinming was foolishly loyal to Yunzhen, and today he deliberately came to humiliate Nian Gengyao. After sneering, he continued to scold Nian Gengyao. Tell Yao's insidious and sinister things one by one. Nian Gengyao didn't get angry when he heard what he said, and after he finished, he laughed and said, "You idiot, do you think Fourteen Baylor is not sinister and vicious? He used a little favor to win you over, It is worth your life for him, and you will never forget it until you die? Ha, ha!" He also casually mentioned a few of Yunti's vicious methods, such as how to arrange the Eight Banners Army to monitor the Han army, how to contact the prince, and seize the throne, etc., etc. The secrets inside were all unknown to Fang Jinming. Fang Jinming was stunned to hear this, and still insisted on cursing: "No matter what, my lord is much better than you." Nian Gengyao laughed loudly, Suddenly he sighed again and said: "You are right, Yunyu still has such a brilliant warrior as you, and I am loyal to him, but I only have a useless old soldier. Based on this alone, he is better than me. That's a lot. Okay, give me your saber!" Fang Jinming took a step back and shouted, "What?" Nian Gengyao said, "Didn't you come here to kill me? My Nian used to be an army of millions. Commander, this head is not worthy of you, I think you are loyal to Yunyu, Nian will fulfill your wish and give you the head!" Fang Jinming sneered, and suddenly threw himself on him, his palm like a knife , Xiang Nian Gengyao slapped the cheek. Nian Gengyao really had no intention of killing himself, he just wanted to cheat Fang Jinming's sympathy by deceit, and even if he couldn't, Fang Jinming would not be on his guard against him. Knocked him down with a fist, venting his anger.Unexpectedly, Fang Jinming didn't intend to kill him, but just wanted to humiliate him. This was called "Ghost King Slapping Palm", and it was as fast as lightning, and he slapped Nian Gengyao's face with his backhand. Although this was not what Nian Gengyao expected, but he is a son of a famous family, a master of Shaolin, he took a few steps away, and was about to fight back, when suddenly another black shadow suddenly appeared on the city wall. He shouted loudly: "Fang Jinming, have you forgotten the old agreement between you and me? You dare to hurt the general of the imperial court without your own hands, don't blame the brother's ruthlessness under the sword!" The one who came was the chariot warding off evil spirits, which was also called the second treasure of Yunti's army with Fang Jinming in the past.The two had a very good friendship in the past. After Yunti was plotted against by Nian Gengyao, Fang Jinming was loyal to the old master, while Che Bixie surrendered to the new king, and they parted ways, each as his master.Fang Jinming once said, "As long as you don't come to catch me, I won't fight you", but Che Bixie finally broke with Fang Jinming in order to sell his friends for glory. The four heroes rescued each other, and they were saved from death. Several years later, when we met again tonight, Fang Jinming was furious when he heard Che Bixie mentioned the foreword, and said with a sneer, "It's a shame you still have the nerve to mention this, the brotherhood between you and me will be over long ago, if you stop me again, Don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!" Che Bixie pulled out his sword with a whoosh, and covered Nian Gengyao's face, but said nothing.Fang Jinming took a step forward with his right foot, stretched his body quickly, and made a move of "double wind piercing the ears", punching obliquely with both fists, Che Bixie shouted: "Do you want to die?" With a palm, the shoulders sink down, a move of "crossing the tiger and climbing the mountain", the right foot flies out, kicks his wrist holding the sword obliquely, stretches out the left arm, and hits his chest with a long fist.Che Bixie's skill was very agile, Huo Di turned over with a "monster python", turned over, pulled a sword flower, turned sideways to split the sword, turned forward and poked again. One of these two is a famous boxer, the other is a good swordsman, they are evenly matched, they fought twenty or thirty moves in a flash, and there was no winner.Nian Gengyao stood aside with a smile on his face, but he didn't step forward to help.Fang Jinming suddenly remembered his purpose of coming here, he punched feignedly, and shouted in a treacherous voice: "Bi Xie, listen to me again." Che Bi Xie held the sword formula in his left hand. Listen to his words.Fang Jinming said: "You seek fame and fame. I am the old master. I have ambitions for each other. I don't want to force you to follow me. But today, Nian Gengyao is at the end of the day. Why are you still protecting him?" Che Bixie was cold With a cold smile, he said proudly: "How can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan?" Fang Jinming was angry again, and was about to make a move.Nian Gengyao suddenly laughed and said, "Fang Jinming, you are loyal to Yunti, and he is loyal to me. It is a coincidence. You ask him why he protects me, and if he asks you back, what will you do?" Fang Jinming was startled for a moment, Jumping out of the circle quickly, turning around and leaving, Che Bixie put the sword back into its sheath with a sneer on his lips. Nian Gengyao smiled slightly, stepped forward to pat Che Bixie on the shoulder, and said, "Adversity is the heart of a man's heart, after all, you still have some affection!" : "You sinner who deceived the emperor, who has affection for you? Do you think that I am here to save you tonight? Haha! Let me tell you the truth, the current emperor said that you are too hateful and wants to torture you slowly. So I demote you to guard the city gate, and let our family come to see the embarrassment of you as a "general". The Holy One has learned a lot, he has already expected that you have many enemies, and he is afraid that those people will kill you, which will take advantage of you, so He also ordered us to wait in secret and only drive those people away at the critical moment. The sage said: The most joyful thing in the world is to see the people you hate. , There is no way to call for help. Do you think that the Holy Majesty does not kill immediately, because he loves you? Do you treat someone like me and want to be your servant today? Haha! You are too arrogant!" Nian Gengyao listened I was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas Nirvana! Che Bixie sneered and scolded Nian Gengyao.Nian Gengyao suppressed his anger, and asked him back: "Bixie, I treat you well. You have been under my tent for less than three years, and I have recommended you to the rank of fourth-rank guard. Don't you have a little bit of incense?" Love?" The corner of Che Bixie's mouth curled up, and he made a disdainful expression, and said: "I am an official of the emperor, not yours, do you want me to thank you for your kindness? Now I am already an official.三品卫士啦，比你这守城门的小卒，最少要高出十几级，我不要你见面叩头，已经是对你很有情份了，你还能有什么非份之想？”年羹尧忽地哈哈一笑，说道：“对极，对极！人向高处，水向低流，当机须立断，无毒不丈夫。是大英雄，便当如此，辟邪，不枉你在我帐下多年，你已经得了我的心法啦！”车辟邪怔了一怔，正想反唇相讥，忽听得又有夜行人的声响，慌忙跳过一边，躲入城楼暗角。 年羹尧淡淡一笑，道：“又是哪位朋友来了？年某只此一身，要报仇就快动手！”话犹未了，城墙上已跳上五人，为首的是少林寺的印宏和尚，后面的却是关东四侠。 年羹尧面色大变，只听得印宏和尚戟指骂道：“年羹尧你也有今日么？想我少林寺对你恩义如山，你却毒手暗害我的师尊，还带兵烧了嵩山少林寺这座千年古刹，我问你，你的心肝是什么做的？”年羹尧道：“要杀便杀，何必多言！”印宏继续骂道：“我的师尊本无大师曾传你武功，你将他杀了，我也几乎遭你害死，按说，我即把你碎尸万段，也不足解我心头之恨！但如今我却不想你速死，你的颈血也不值得污我戒刀，让你所效忠的皇帝，将你处死，更足令天下人称快。”年羹尧道：“那你来做什么？”印宏道：“一来要看你这位大将军今日的'威风'，二来我要问你，昔日允祯所持的贝叶笺文，是不是假的？”年羹尧道：“是假的，怎么样？那是我仿本空大师的字迹写的，让你们少林寺永远有一个不能清洗的叛徒，也好给武林留个笑柄。”印宏道：“好哇，你如今始吐实了。”年羹尧脸上露出一丝奸笑，道：“你们少林寺知道了又怎样？你们少林寺还能奈何当今的皇上么？”他此际肯说实话，乃是因为已恨极雍正，因此故意出言挑拨，想少林寺的僧人去刺杀雍正。 印宏道：“好，今日我不杀你，但好歹也得在你身上留一些记号。”纵步上前，双指一伸，点向年羹尧双目，年羹尧一个“铁门闩”，将他来势化解，印宏怒道：“你还敢用少林的手法与我放对！”关东四侠中的陈元霸嚷道：“依我说，把他杀了痛快，印宏师兄，你若嫌便宜了他，待我用分筋错骨手来收拾他吧！”四侠中陈元霸最为鲁莽，不待分说，一爪如钩，觑着年羹尧琵琶骨便抓！ 玄风道长忽然叫道：“小心！”猛听得“蓬”的一声，一支蛇焰箭破空而来，就在陈元霸的头上炸开，陈元霸伏地一滚，几乎跌下城墙，只听得有人哈哈笑道：“圣上明鉴万里，果然有少林寺的遗孽和同党来了，你们向年羹尧寻仇，我们也正好张下罗网等君入瓮呢！”说话的是韩重山，他的师弟天叶散人则已截着了玄风的去路！ 玄风一声大吼，长剑一翻，铁拐一扫，两手两般兵器，同时发出，天叶散人旋身一闪，呼呼两掌，将玄风震得身形不定，朗月禅师在葫芦里吸了一大口酒，一口酒浪，迎风喷出，却给掌风荡得四处飞溅，有如洒了半天酒雨。韩重山把手一扬，发出了两般暗器，用回环钩来取柳先开，用铁莲子打陈元霸的穴道，柳先开号称“万里追风”，焉能给他打中，闪展腾挪，一连避了几次，可是那回环钩转折回翔，柳先开也破它不得。陈元霸轻功较逊，给铁莲子打着，幸他铜皮铁骨，虽然感到穴道上一阵疼痛，却是无事。 韩重山师兄弟的武功比关东四侠高出甚多，四侠中只有玄风敢硬接他们的招数，其他三人却近不了身。印宏叫道：“咱们要问的已经问了，何苦再在此地纠缠，不如走吧！”玄风疾刺数剑，掩护撤退，陈元霸先跳下城墙，朗月禅师喷了两口酒浪，也跟着印宏跳下，玄风使一招“举火燎天”，铁拐上撩，挡开了韩重山的辟云锄，跟着纵身下跳。天叶散人身形飞起，用“饥鹰扑兔”的手法，伸手便抓，猛听得头顶上一声呼啸，天叶散人急忙一个倒翻，硬把纵出去的身形撤了回来，冲天一拳，击敌下颚，却听得哈哈笑声，柳先开已从他的头顶掠过，飞下城墙。关东四侠，虽然不是顶儿尖儿的角色，却是各有独门武功，韩重山师兄弟竟然截他们不住。 天叶散人道声：“追！”与韩重山一同跃下，片刻之后，人声已杳。车辟邪又从城楼暗角处钻了出来。年羹尧道：“皇上痛恨少林遗孽，你为何不趁此立功？”车辟邪冷笑说道：“我还要看守你呢！” 年羹尧眉毛一扬，道：“多谢盛情！”忽然作出沉思之状，过了半晌，缓缓说道：“辟邪，我有一事与你商量。”车辟邪道：“你想我放你么？天下之大已无你容身之处了。你废话休提。”年羹尧道：“我岂会强你所难。我实告你，我有稀世的珍宝，想赠送与你。”车辟邪冷笑道：“你有这样好心？我对你何恩？你肯将稀世珍宝送我？”年羹尧说道：“我不是白送你的。实不相瞒，我早料到有今日之祸，所以将小儿早已寄托在一个朋友家中，我迟早必死，家产定然抄没，小儿他日长大何以为生？所以想把价值连城的珠宝与你，凭你的良心，变价卖出之后，交回一半与我那位朋友，以便小儿他日得个温饱。” 车辟邪意动，想道：“我出京时，皇上已将年羹尧家属尽行收禁，独独不见他的儿子，皇上说要斩草除根，还叫我们暗中查访。年羹尧所说的料是实情。我不如假作答允，骗他将藏宝之处说了，那岂不是既可为皇上立功，又可得稀世珍宝。”便道：“这点小事，我车某还可作主。”年羹尧道：“真的？”车辟邪道：“于人无损，于己有利，何乐不为？请你将你那位朋友的地址说出来吧。”年羹尧道：“你这样说，我信你了，但隔墙有耳，珠宝也不便露眼，你附耳过来吧！”车辟邪果然走到年羹尧身前，侧耳倾听。不料年羹尧反手一拿，施展无极门的擒拿绝技，一把扣着他的脉门，车辟邪全身瘫痪，动弹不得，年羹尧骂道：“你这狗娘养的，居然敢来欺我！我岂能受你之气！我反正已犯了十八条大罪，再多犯一条，也不怎么。”骈指朝车辟邪胁下一戳，点了他的死穴，车辟邪惨叫一声，登时气绝。 年羹尧冷冷一笑，只听得更楼鼓响，已是四更，周围静得怕人，心道：“今晚来了几批仇人，那老兵难道吓死了么？为何听不见他的声响？嗯，今日只有一个老弱残兵还愿意跟随我，我也算倒霉极了！”正想出声呼唤，见车辟邪的尸体横在城墙之上，眼睛犹自睁开，白渗渗的令人恶心，年羹尧性起，一脚将他踢下城墙，忽听得耳边一声“阿弥陀佛”，入耳刺心，年羹尧睁眼一看，吓得魂飞魄散，来的竟是以前少林寺的监寺，而今少林寺的主持弘法大师！弘法大师与少林三老同辈，姜桂之性，嫉恶如仇，就似以前的本无大师一样。年羹尧心道：“少林三老先后亡过，而今是弘法主持，他一定是要用少林家法，惩治我了。”想起少林寺的分筋错骨，闭穴伤残等等惩治叛徒手法，比受凌迟碎剐还要痛苦，不觉胆寒！ 弘法大师目光有如利剪，盯着了年羹尧问道：“年大将军，你可还认得老衲么？”年羹尧道：“弟子知罪了！”弘法厉声说道：“谁是你的师尊？你是谁的弟子？少林寺不容你来玷污，无极派也不认你这个叛徒。”年羹尧低首说道：“那么就请大师慈悲，赐我一个全尸吧！”弘法大师面挟寒霜，沉声说道：“你自有朝廷明正典刑，何用老衲动手。我来见你，为的是两桩事情，你且听着：第一件是少林三老曾传过你的武功，等于间接助你为恶，这是少林寺的罪过，老衲要为前任主持赎罪，收回你的武功。”说到此处，猛然伸手向年羹尧脑门一拍，年羹尧武功再高，也难躲避，被他一拍，只觉天旋地转，过了好久，才清醒过来，四肢已是绵软无力。弘法大师叹口气道：“如今才收回你的武功已是迟了，但也算了一宗公案，守着了少林历代相传的规矩。” 弘法大师稍停半晌，又道：“我除了要为前任主持收回你的武功，还要替无极派清理门户。这事本该天山的易老前辈办的，她无暇再到中原，托人告知老衲，请老衲代办，少不得要多费一些手脚。”说到此处，两道寿眉一竖，厉声喝道：“钟万堂费尽心血，将你培养成材，你为何勾引双魔，将他害死？像你这等行为，还能见容于武林吗？”年羹尧已知弘法不肯动手杀他，索性闭口不答。弘法续道：“想当年傅青主老先生创立门户，何等艰难，想不到出了你这个万恶叛徒，几乎令无极派至你而斩。幸得无极派还有一个传人，要不然傅青主与钟万堂都死不瞑目。”年羹尧忽问道：“无极派还有什么传人？”弘法道：“不用你管，我受易老前辈之托，前来告诉于你，我已与易老前辈联名，通告武林同道，代无极派清理门户，另立传人，将你驱逐出无极派门墙之外了！”年羹尧淡淡说道：“我性命已是不保，还争持这个么？”弘法大师摇了摇头，怒道：“孽畜孽畜，至死不悟！”倏然拔出戒刀，年羹尧吃了一惊，但觉面前寒光电射，刀风飕飕，那口利刃，就好像在脸皮上刮来刮去一般，只听得弘法大师在耳边说道：“全无廉耻，愧作须眉，略示薄惩，以戒贼子。”刀风倏止，年羹尧张眼看时，弘法大师已不见了。 年羹尧伸手一摸，面上光滑滑的，不但所留的两撇虎须，被剃得干干净净，连眉毛也刮得个一丝不留。年羹尧平生，哪曾受过如此奇耻大辱，不觉愤然挥拳，怒声骂道：“弘法贼秃，辱我太甚！”但一拳挥出，立刻感到气喘无力，又不觉叹了口气，颓然坐到地上。 星横斗转，这时已打过了五更，朝露晓风，饶有寒意，年羹尧咳了两声，叫道：“王老三，王老三！”王老三是那老兵的名字，叫了两声，不见答应，正在奇怪，忽见那名老兵颤巍巍的从城楼内走了出来，在旗竿的“风灯”映照之下，面色显得一片灰白。 年羹尧道：“王老三，你怎么啦？”这名老兵向年羹尧迎头一揖，怆然说道：“请恕我这名不中用的老兵难以再侍候你了！”年羹尧知道自己与方今明的谈话已被他听到，忙道：“老三，你别多心……”王老三截着说道：“不用说了，今晚我一切都明白啦！小官，枉我曾看着你长大，却从不知道你是一个如此忘恩负德、寡情绝义的人！老主人一生也未曾做过什么恶事，怎么却会得到这样的恶报应，生下你这个败家灭族的逆子，咳，我真替你年家历代祖先不值！”这名老兵说得十分激动，年羹尧气得面色青白，几乎想将他一拳打死，但想到这名老兵也会几手拳脚，而自己武功却已消失，拳头一挥，又立即缩回。 那名老兵叹了一口长气，眼泪籁籁下落，又道：“我服侍你的老子多年，又服侍了你多年，并曾随你万里长征，出生入死，一未升官，二未发财，也算对得住你年家了。我今日拜辞！”话完之后，向年羹尧一揖到地，从城头上拾级而下，走了几步，忽又回头说道：“你昨日换下的衣服，我已洗净晒干，你自己收拾吧，今朝的早饭我也做好了，以后你自己学着做吧，我这没中用的老仆人拜辞了。”一步一步走下城墙，微微显得有点伛偻的背影，不久就消失在晨光曦微之中。 年羹尧呆若木鸡，额头沁汗，这回才真正尝到了众叛亲离的滋味，只觉天地之大，已无自己可容身之地，茫茫人海，已无再肯亲近自己之人，又想起以后洗衣做饭都要自己干了，更觉“英雄”末路，啼笑皆非。 年羹尧走进城楼，果然见有一锅热饭，这时才发觉自己也饿得软了，胡乱的把一锅热饭吃完，试试运动四肢，始知自己武功虽然消失，却还有平常人的气力，看着那几块石头泥土搭起的土灶，苦笑一声，自言自语道：“还好，若然连做饭的气力都没有了，岂不更是糟糕吗？”可是生米怎样才能煮成一锅熟饭，这个年羹尧却不知道，甚是发愁。 曙光渐露，天已黎明，又该是下去看守城门的时候了。年羹尧步出城楼，走下城墙，往日还有老兵相伴，今朝只有自己一人，更觉得凄凉寂寞，平生行事，霎然之间一一从心头翻过，一种悔恨之念不觉油然而生，但一忽间又被愤恨的情绪所替代，恨不得把这宇宙连同自己一齐毁灭。 年羹尧走下城墙，打开城门，晓风扑面，随着吹进来的是一声清脆的笑声，只见一个少女笑盈盈的站在城门之外，年羹尧一打开城门，她便说道：“年大将军，你好早啊！” 年羹尧吃了一惊，这刹那，竟疑心自己是在作梦，揉揉眼睛，看清楚了果然是冯琳。年羹尧面上掠过一丝笑意，忽又愤然说道：“冯琳，你也来嘲弄我么？” 冯琳和李治这两年来在四川冒了许多艰险，联络了一些人，后来听得年羹尧被撤职查办了，便把四川的基业交给车鼎丰的儿子车哲生主理，两人赶回去想找吕四娘。途中又听得年羹尧连降十八级，被贬到杭州守城门的消息，冯琳这时虽然已是二十岁的大姑娘了，孩子的脾气仍然未改，想起小时候曾与年羹尧同玩的事，又想起年羹尧骗她哄她，想把她送给雍正之事，一时兴起，要到杭州来看看年羹尧，看看这位“大将军”是不是真的在把守城门，李治拗她不过，便替她在门外把风，让冯琳单独去和年羹尧会面。exactly: How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
