Chapter 5 The Fifth Chapter Qianlong Emperor Gently Caresses the Veteran Minister Zhang Tingyu to Teach His Younger Students

Emperor Qianlong suddenly appeared in Ting Yuxuan, and everyone was stunned. Zhang Tingyu, who was sitting lazily, jumped off the kang, knelt down and kowtowed: "Master has something urgent, just call The servants went in, why did you come in person?" Zhang Tingyu's son Zhang Ruocheng was guarding the door, seeing everyone kneeling down together, he felt that he had no status, so he stepped back outside the door and kowtowed.Qianlong glanced at the silver-haired Yue Zhongqi, nodded with a sullen face, turned around and took Zhang Tingyu's arm, and said with a smile, "Are you guys in a meeting?"

"How dare an old servant hold a meeting in a private mansion? There was a system in the time of the holy ancestor!" Zhang Tingyu hurriedly said: "Both the late emperor and the emperor have repeatedly ordered to allow old ministers to be directors in the mansion. The ministers are really inconvenient. Some memorials approved by the emperor If you want to replay, ask the relevant people to ask and discuss. If you have not passed the imperial examination, the ministers dare not go to the meeting first. Today, we got together by chance. Neqin did disaster relief for Zhili in Shandong, and Eshan dredged Yongding River and Hutuo The matter of the river and the Zhuan River - in previous years, the river work has stopped at this time. This year, the rain is too heavy, and there are still collapses in this season. We have to discuss a way to play the master. Zhuang Yougong met with the emperor yesterday and wanted to transfer to the household department Wailang, he wants to ask the Military Aircraft Department to act on his behalf, and transfer it to the Imperial Academy, and he would like to give a lecture or edit it..."

Qianlong listened to his explanation of the people's intentions one by one, nodded with a smile and said: "The country does not allow ministers to hold meetings in private houses, and it does not refer to loyal and veteran ministers like you. It is because I am afraid that if I make an exception, my descendants will not be able to follow it, and other troubles will arise. Kangxi Dynasty Aobai, was he a bad guy? His ancestors allowed him to read the memorials in his private residence and hold meetings on important military and state affairs, which made him domineering and domineering, which ended badly. Heng Chen, the old minister, has worked hard for forty years , with the loyalty and sincerity of your father, and never saying anything impolite, you can be a model for all officials. From the holy grandfather, the emperor Shizong to me, there is no one who doesn't know well-why should I give you this school at Xihuamen? The mansion? The reason is that you are an elderly person with limited mobility, so you can do errands at home nearby, and your children can take care of you..." He said these words sincerely and earnestly, with warmth and tenderness in the grandeur, and everyone in the room Thinking of his emperor's honor coming to the mansion of his subordinates in the rain and having a heart-to-heart talk with them, he was moved to tears, and his heart was hot and sore.Zhang Tingyu served three generations of Qianlong's ancestors and grandchildren. For more than 40 years, he has been in the key position. His children and guests are in important places, and his former officials and disciples are all over the world. Like Ertai, he is very powerful even though he does not need power.Although you don't want to establish your own portal, the portal has already established itself.The sophisticated Zhang Tingyu has long felt that his position is in danger.Half a year ago, Zhang Tingyu's protégé, the vice-capital censor Yongshan, secretly played Ertai's eldest son, E Rong'an, withheld the secret memorials from other provinces, which made Zhang Tingyu embarrassed to meet Ertai in his study for several days.In early August, Hu Zhongzao, Ertai's first disciple, impeached Zhang Tingyu for governing in his private residence.Then Ertai also became "ill" and did not come to the military aircraft department to be on duty.How do you know that the emperor didn't come to observe for the purpose of ascertaining the true and false relatives of "Zhang Party" and "E Party"?Zhang Tingyu was a worried, slanderous person, the more he thought about it, the more serious he became, sweat dripped down his back, and he followed Qianlong's words and said repeatedly: "Master knows the heart of a slave very well, so I dare not have the slightest bit of injustice! But the slave's horse teeth are already high, and in recent years he has felt dizzy, his body gets hot and dizzy, his heart shakes and his hands tremble. Seventy-three, eighty-four, the King of Hades does not invite himself to go. I implore the master to allow the slave to return to the forest, dance cranes in the peaceful world, and sing poems among the springs and pavilions. Isn’t it also a good talk in a prosperous age?” Qianlong laughed: “I’m here Look at you, it is to praise you, but you are talking about this! Although you have worked hard all your life, the court treats you differently. You are now the third-class earl. Since the founding of the country, civil servants have not done this. Think about it, you are the one who deserves to enjoy the Taimiao under the order of the Emperor Daxing, how can you be enshrined in the family and return to the fields for retirement?" After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

Zhang Tingyu stole a glance at Qianlong, seeing him beaming with joy, smiling at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and boldly said again: "The courtiers who deserved to enjoy the Taimiao in the Song and Ming dynasties also begged for a divorce." "Otherwise." Qianlong glanced at Zhang Tingyu and said with a smile, ""Yi" said that it was written by chance. If you must hang up your car and become an official at the age of seventy, why is there still a code of eighty? And for what?" Originally, it was inappropriate for the emperor and his subjects to refute at this point, but when Qianlong compared Kong Ming, Zhang Tingyu felt that he couldn't bear it, so he bowed and smiled: "My master taught me a lesson! However, Zhuge Liang was entrusted to the army, and slaves are fortunate enough to travel in peace and prosperity, and the two seem to be incomparable." He thought this sentence was appropriate, but Qianlong took a serious look at him and said, "It's not right again. Gao, Kui , Long, and Bi have changed their owners and changed time and place, but they are still Gao, Kui, Long, and Bi! Since they are the most important in the world, can they use the excuse of "peace" to escape? I think for you, you are honored by the ancestors , Huang Kao's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, of course you can't say it, even if I treat you with great kindness, you shouldn't say it. I don't want you to go, don't you have the heart to say goodbye to me?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Tingyu without saying a word.

Zhang Tingyu has already had a thorn in his back, and he has always kept the silent saying that "everything is worth it, it is better to be silent", how could he forget it today?Looking at Qianlong's situation, as long as he persisted, he would immediately say something ugly, wouldn't it be a good way to humiliate himself?Thinking about it, he murmured: "It's the slave... The slave only thinks for himself. I didn't expect that the society has a heavy responsibility, and the Lord is kind. Now the slave can only do his best to repay the great kindness of the Holy One..."

"Okay, okay!" Qianlong saw that he was afraid and panicked, and felt that he was too much, so he smiled and said, "Arguing with you is nothing more than not wanting you to leave me. You are still writing the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, this is a annoying person." Errands, I think you don’t need to take care of the ministry affairs anymore, but officials below the fourth rank are still at your disposal. You are the chief military officer of the prime minister’s affairs, and you don’t care about small things, but help me take care of big things. You can also rest a little bit.” Then he took off his boots.Zhang Tingyu hurriedly called his son, "Why don't you hurry up and wait?" His two sons rushed over and knelt down on the knees, took off the soaked deerskin oil boots for Qianlong, and took care of Qianlong's cold feet like they usually served Zhang Tingyu. After kneading and kneading until it was dry, I put on a new pair of felt socks before retreating.Qianlong was wearing fluffy and dry socks, sitting cross-legged on the heated kang, and then said to Yue Zhongqi: "Where do you have so many complaints? The defeat of Tongbo, you are the general of the army, and the loss of the teacher humiliates the country and the country." There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and the imperial court just asked you to resign from your post to treat the crime. If you are really guilty, you will be executed before the army. Isn’t it right?! Now that there is something wrong with the military, why should I still consult you as usual? After winning the battle, are you not convinced?"

Yue Zhongqi was not alarmed, he moved his kneeling legs, kowtowed his head and said: "The defeat of He Tongbo was due to the inappropriate command of the servant. The servant raised his sword three times to kill himself, but was saved by his subordinates. The servant also played many times. Please punish the servants with the canonical punishment. It is the imperial court’s grace to not kill them. Among them, there are a few complaints about the slow progress of the reinforcements and the failure of the giants to disobey orders. They are not for my own sake, but for the use of troops in the future. A warning. So I use the appendix to list the late emperor. Looking up and down in today's battle, it is clearly said that he has doubts about Ban Gun's life and death, but in fact he is doubtful about the victory or defeat. The slave has led troops in Sichuan for many years, and he is too clear about the situation there. Those Shangshang Tibetans were scattered in the high mountains and deep in the dense forests. As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrived, they would burrow into the mountains. Once the heavenly soldiers left, they would still go back to their old ways. It would be no big deal to kill thousands of people. If Ban Gun could be captured alive, the whole situation would be victorious. Gun is not dead now, and has fled to Dajinchuan. Sha Luoben was already suspicious of officers and soldiers, how could he stand up to Ban Gun's exile and defeat? In this way, Dajinchuan is in chaos, and it is difficult to recruit security. The country has tens of thousands of troops, which lasted August, costing millions, is this the kind of 'victory' you want? I expect Sichuan General Zhang Guangsi will give me justice soon. Zhang Guangsi was first a subordinate of the minister, and he was not compatible with the minister, but also a general who took over the position of the minister. , His Majesty should believe what he said? Looking up and down, the famous places are defeated, and the big and small Jinchuan will be corrupted, and Zhang Guangsi will not admit this bad debt!" Qingfu knelt beside Yue Zhongqi, listening to his dangerous words, full of heart Wanting to assert that "Ban Gun is dead", he hesitated, and just kowtowed and said: "Ban Gun's head was identified on the spot by several generals of our army and the enemy army. The reason why the head was not sent to Beijing was because it happened to be a In hot summer, the head is rotten enough to be delivered. What Yue Zhongqi said is 'taken for granted' and cannot be taken as proof. He himself lost the battle, and he hopes that others will also lose the battle!"

"you!?" Yue Zhongqi was so angry that he trembled all over, he turned his face and glared at Qingfu, and when he wanted to continue, Qianlong said angrily: "You two get out, when will you think about your sins, see me again!" Qianlong looked at the backs of the two of them and said with a gruff smile, "Master calm down, according to the slave's knowledge, maybe Yue Zhongqi will be right!" "Well?" "Your servant sees that Qingfu seems to be a bit of an outsider." Neqin said: "At the beginning of the victory, Qingfu faltered and said, 'Ban Gun died with more than ten stab wounds on his face', and then said: "Ban Gun committed suicide. I am going to search and identify', the Lord Long Live ordered him to repeat it several times, and it was said that he was burned to death later.How do you know that Qingfu pulled a few witnesses to evade his will?Yue Zhongqi had been stationed in Sichuan for many years, he often dealt with various tribes in Jinchuan, big and small, and got along well on weekdays.During the Battle of the West Sea, Sha Luoben personally led 300 Tibetan troops to his General Fenwei Xingyuan to obey his orders.What's more, Yue Zhongqi is a person who treats crimes, and he has never had any problems with Qingfu, so he can't take the risk of criticizing Qingfu.Therefore, in my opinion, Ban Gun is not dead, but it is quite credible. "

Looking at the erratic drizzle outside, Qianlong took a sip of tea, frowned and sighed: "Shandong has escaped the 'Yizhihua' group of rebels. I am not happy. There are floods in Zhili and Huainan, and I don't know that locusts are now How is the situation? There have been bad news for the past few days, so I feel a little uneasy and get angry easily. Fu Heng can go to comfort Yue Zhongqi on my behalf, and tell him that as long as he is not jealous and falsely accused, I will not care about him regardless of his life or death. Go too Take a look at Qingfu, if it is true that Ban Gun is not dead, I want him to apologize in the morning - if there is a minister to intervene with him, I will not be able to tolerate him."

"Yes!" Fu Heng quickly bowed and replied, "I also heard that Ban Gun is not dead. This is a letter to Li Shiyao of Huguang Liangdao who handles Qingfu's food. I just said it, and I think it makes sense , burned hundreds of rebels to death, and among them there happened to be Ban Gun, which is also quite bizarre." Qianlong laughed and said, "Li Shiyao—is he the one who intervened with you in Shanxi to fight Heichashan?" Fu Heng was busy Said: "Yes - he is a fellow official who was specially ordered by the emperor to be easy to release. The emperor has the grace to know him. He said that Ban Gun is not dead, and Jinchuan is in trouble. The emperor will definitely use the heavenly soldiers to conquer. I beg the slaves to transfer him. To serve in the army." Qianlong couldn't help smiling when he thought of Li Shiyao's failure in the examination room and asking for an interview.

Zhang Tingyu ate Qianlong's soft nails in public at home today, and he felt uncomfortable. After the emperor explained this, he immediately felt that the clouds were swept away. He is a very deep person. Huan said: "You don't need to worry too much about the locust situation. There were two frosts in Zhili and Shandong on the sixth and seventh day of September, and the locust plague was gone. Yanzhou Prefecture swept out 100,000 catties of insect corpses in Konglin alone. Pile up the corpses of the locusts, and it is reported that there are more than one million catties! The minister has asked the Ministry of Households to inform the prefectures and counties of the locust-prone provinces, and one catty of grain will be exchanged for one catty of locust corpses, and they will be burned together. This kind of pest disaster, relying on manpower It is impossible to extinguish it, but if the sky wants to extinguish it, after a few frosts, they will all freeze to death." Zhuang Yougong asked strangely: "The students also saw the notice along the way, but they were just surprised why the imperial court used the stored grain to exchange insects. Corpse?" Zhang Tingyu smiled and said, "The folks bury the locust corpses. This is not a thorough treatment. There are often locust plagues in the second year, and the roots will be wiped out after being collected and burned. You can also know how many locusts, how long and how big the place is. Why do you care about these few catties of grain!" Qianlong nodded and said: "You are thinking very well, all disaster-prone places will be handled in this way in the future. The plague of locusts is limited to Shandong this time. Disrespecting the mandate of heaven and not cultivating moral government, so he was punished by heaven and harmed the common people. Yue Jun was the first to bear the responsibility. It is still a matter of his heart to rescue and rescue after the disaster, so Yue Jun was dismissed from his post and stayed in his post as a warning. All officials in Shandong Penalty salary for half a year in response to changes in the sky!" Zhang Tingyu hurriedly said: "Master has thought carefully. But the incompatibility between yin and yang is the prime minister's responsibility, and it seems inappropriate to ask the subordinates to bear it. Please punish the ministers of the upper study and the military aircraft department, and even directly Changes in the sky, such as the Lihuai River flood, should be responded to by personnel and affairs, so as to show that the world's public objects must not be desecrated." "Okay, the ministers of the upper study, the ministers of the military aircraft, and the ministers of the leading bodyguards will divide the slander for me this time, and it's good to wipe it off a little bit." Qianlong sighed, and said: "I am always in fear, respecting the heaven and the ancestors, and what I am diligently seeking is actually In the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, when the former capital rained and hail, I committed the crime and did not shirk it. This time you take a little responsibility, and you can see your sincerity—let’s fine each of you for one year. At the same time, Yue Jun will be exempted. The following officials punished Yue Jun himself as a great official in the frontier, how could he completely avoid such a strange disaster and great famine?" He stood up with a snort, seeing that Qianlong was going back to the palace, Bu Xiao hurried in to put on clothes for him, Zhang Ruocheng Holding a pair of grass and wood shoes, he put them gently on the ground, and said: "Master's buckskin oil boots are soaked, as long as you don't travel a long way, it's better to wear these..." Qianlong smiled Stretch your feet and kick your shoes. E Shan had no chance to speak today. While Qianlong was arranging his clothes and hats, he knelt down again in a hurry. Just as he was about to speak, Neqin said: "Why are you so unruly? The master has been here for half a day, and things keep going, so you are busy at this moment ?" Qianlong laughed and said, "He's from the Ministry, it's not easy to see me, so don't scold him again." Naqin hurriedly agreed "Yes" and bowed back.E Shan said: "The slave is talking about something urgent. Once the master goes, the military plane will go back up tomorrow, and the order will be made at the earliest the day after tomorrow. The weather is getting colder day by day, and the rain is not obvious now. As soon as the sky clears, It must be freezing..." He was flustered, and his words became more and more incoherent.Qianlong knew that he hadn't done it alone, and because he was reprimanded by his relatives, he smiled and said: "The more urgent the matter, the more you must calmly explain it clearly. Don't be too busy, I'm listening!" "Yes!" Eshan kowtowed again, and swallowed a sigh of relief, his tone was much calmer: "Nowadays, the migrant workers' hands and feet are frozen with dense blood, and the blood oozes when they move. At nine minutes, people are still unwilling to go into the water. When the rain stops, the river will freeze. At that time, if you pay another five cents, you may not be able to recruit migrant workers. Son, it’s a small matter for the servant to punish himself, but it’s a big matter for bullying the emperor and the people!” He paused, and then said: “Because of helplessness, the slave sold a house, collected 20,000 silver, and went to work in the water Yes, a catty of white flour and a catty of rice wine are added. The grain depot does not supply the price at the price, but sells it to the slaves at the market price! The slaves went bankrupt and became the country. I really don’t know why the treasury still makes money from the slaves! The firewood and charcoal pots and bowls are also in short supply. They are trivial things. The Ministry of Household supply is difficult, and the slaves have to go to the heaven to listen. Qianlong listened, nodded and said nothing, then looked at Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu hurriedly said: "The Ministry of Households They also had difficulties when they went back to Neqin yesterday.Every winter, the capital needs four million shi of grain to support it.Now less than 300 square meters have been shipped, and Gao Heng intercepted 100,000 shi of grain in Dezhou, Shandong without authorization, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is impeaching him!Because the weather is rainy and damp, it is not easy to purchase charcoal, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is indeed in a dilemma.But as E Shan said, the work on the river is imminent.The servant wondered if it would be possible to allocate a batch of military rations, charcoal and fodder from the Ministry of War to support the river workers first, and then the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War would write off the accounts.Eshan's bankruptcy and repair of the river should be rewarded, but the cost of the river project is huge, and it cannot be done by one person alone. It should be paid by the government.I don't know what the emperor wants? " Jilong tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Who is in charge of this matter at the Ministry of Household Affairs?" While Zhang Tingyu was recalling, Fu Heng smiled and said: "This person was originally a scholar of the Imperial Academy. The purpose was transferred to the corpse department. Because of his good knowledge, he was specially promoted to Zuo Zhongyun. The emperor even praised his "Langyatai Fu"!" Qianlong remembered it, and smiled: "This is not an accountant. People, it’s too pedantic - ask him to hand over the sign to see me tomorrow." Zhang Tingyu said hurriedly: "Yes!" Qianlong said again: "The money and food expenses of the river workers still need to be paid by the Ministry of Households. This method can only be used if there is no such thing and it is urgent. Once everything has become a rule, it is impossible to use the military supplies of the Ministry of War at will. It is indeed hard work for Eshan to govern the river in a hurry to achieve success-look at his hands, they are cracked with cold, and blood beads are oozing out! How can this happen if you don’t do it yourself? That’s why I love E Shan very much. Not only do I want to reward him, but I also want to increase his grade. Wang Mangeng of Shuntian Mansion has already reported Ding You’s vacancy, so he asked E Shan to fill in. Still, the governor of Shuntian Mansion is also in charge of the river project and mobilizes the peasants It's easier too." "Your Majesty!" The blood all over E Shan's body seemed to rush to his face at once, flushing red, and he said in a trembling voice: "The slave is just keeping his duty. How can the slave repay the emperor's kindness? As long as the supply of money and food is no longer Obstacles, even soaking in ice water, the slaves will also cure the Zhuan River and Hutuo River!" After saying that, they met and kowtowed again and again. Seeing that Qianlong had gone far away, Fu Heng kowtowed to himself and took him with both hands.The people they knew very well wanted to tease him a few words to congratulate him on his promotion, but the rough calluses on Eshan's hands made his heart move, so he didn't say anything, just patted the back of his hand, turned to Neqin and Zhang Tingyu and said : "Your Excellency, if there is nothing else, I'm going to Yue Dongmei's place." Neqin also stood up and said goodbye. "I don't want to keep you in vain." Zhang Tingyu said with a smile, "Gao Heng has written an abbreviation of the 100,000 stone grain withholding and does not want to report it. I will stay and think about it." It was only at the entrance of the Moon Cave that he stopped and turned around to listen to Yuxuan.Zhuang Yougong stood waiting at the door. Seeing him coming from the light rain, he quickly went down the steps to support him with both hands, and said as he walked, "Teacher Tai, slow down—the students don't quite understand. Yan Xishen from Shandong Pingdu opened a warehouse for relief without authorization, Gao Heng Unauthorized interception of food grains is the crime of officials overstepping their authority without authorization, the matter is obvious, why only the report of the military aircraft mansion is published, but no punishment by the court?" Zhang Tingyu sat in the easy chair with Zhuang Yougong's support, heaved a long and exhausted sigh, stroked the thin white hair on his forehead, and his voice suddenly became very old and deep: "This is an example in the previous dynasty. Jackie Chan opened a storehouse in Qingjiang to help the victims without authorization, and the Ministry proposed to seize the official and lock up the capital to discuss the crime. The holy ancestor Longyan was furious, saying that Yu Jackie was a virtuous family, loved and raised the people, and shared the worries for the king. He should be praised, but he was impeached instead. Even Suo'etu has been swept away without any face. Now Ertai and I are in the same positions in the Military Aircraft Department as Suoxiang was in the past. If we rashly follow this example to ask for credit, the emperor may say that this is just for fame. Clique formation; if it is punished according to the regulations, the emperor may use Jackie Chan's precedent to reprimand him, wouldn't he be shameful? So first publish it in the mansion newspaper, without saying anything about right and wrong, let it go." Zhuang Yougong didn't expect such a trivial matter to happen to Zhang Tingyu It's so thoughtful and thoughtful, I can't help but admire it from the bottom of my heart.Mr. Tai has been prime minister for more than forty years, and officials in the same dynasty were punished, dismissed, copied, and killed, but he was the only one who was always honored and favored and remained unmoved.Thinking about it, he smiled and said: "The time has passed for a long time, the emperor may ask." Zhang Tingyu smiled, but didn't speak any more. He squinted his eyes and looked at the ceiling. After a long time, he took a heavy breath.At this time, it was dusk, the clouds were dark, the shadows of the trees were bleak, and the cold wind came in through the door, rustling the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, making it even more lonely and unbearable.Zhuang Yougong originally asked about his own future, but when he saw that Teacher Tai was so indifferent, he said with an embarrassing smile, "I'm going back to the river engineering. Teacher Tai, if you have time, can you write a picture for me?" Zhang Tingyu nodded and raised his hand. After a while, his spirits improved a lot, he stood up leaning on the back of his chair, and said, "I'll write to you right now." While rubbing his sleeves, he said, "You can't understand what's on your mind. It is natural to want to enter the Imperial Academy. If you are the number one scholar, you will be awarded a bachelor's degree immediately, and then you will be appointed as a scholar. It is very easy to get promoted. As long as there are no mistakes, a Han Shangshu will not be able to escape within ten years—but this is all wishful thinking, do you understand?" He said and looked at Zhuang Yougong.Zhuang Yougong was caressing the paper diligently, and couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and smiled, "Please teach me!" Zhang Tingyu put the pen in the ink sea, took a fan from the desk, and unfolded it, only to see: If you can be cautious and independent, the device will be self-respecting, and the imitation of Mi regular script is very correct.Zhang Tingyu smiled and said: "Your thinking is not too much. Many second-class Jinshi want to go this way, let alone you are the number one scholar! But you are too enthusiastic, the number one scholar is out of his mind, and even the emperor knows it. The master is not afraid of his subjects Passionate about fame and fame, but the owner is extremely intelligent, and the country is in peace, so it is inevitable to be harsh in seeking talents. The country's important relatives and relatives don't take it lightly, let alone you, a Han Chinese Jinshi! So I let you work outside, and it is easy to see meritorious service The second is that you don't see merit in doing things, and you are far away from the emperor, so it is not easy to see sin. When you really make a big career and earn great fame, you will naturally have something else to say. Don't you think, the younger generation?" What he said made Zhuang Yougong feel ashamed, blushed, and the hand holding the paper trembled slightly.He had been dissatisfied in his heart just now, and he was also in Hegong, his hands were covered with calluses, his wrists were covered with bloodstains, and he was sitting next to Qianlong, but he praised E Shan who was hiding in the silhouette. Only now did he realize that the emperor has another demand for him!After a long while, Cai Na Na said: "Old Xiangguo's words, the students are like enlightenment. In the year of the ranking, it is true that I drank too much alcohol with a few of the same year, so I lost my mind. But there is no place to tell this grievance, the students can only encourage themselves , work conscientiously for the imperial court, cultivate virtue with the heart of fame and fame, and live up to the teacher's painstaking efforts in cultivation." "That's right!" Zhang Tingyu's wrinkled walnut skin-like face broke into a smile, and with his brush and ink, he wrote the words size and size on the rice paper: abstain from A few lines of small characters are also densely embellished, "On the fifth day of October in the sixth year of Qianlong, Zhuang Siquan asked Yu to write the characters. I got this word because I thought about the incident in the past when I followed the holy ancestors to escape to the summer resort. The young people were also in the same season at the same time. It was a day when the snow was as heavy as a hand, and the wind was howling like a madman. The Holy Patriarch commanded all his sons to live in Jie. My ministers, are you careless when you think about the meaning of "precepts"?" After finishing writing, when I was looking for a stamp, I saw Xiao Luzi coming in with a stack of paperwork followed by an eunuch. Zhang Tingyu asked: "Xiao Luzi, why did you come here so soon? What's wrong with your leg? You look a little lame?" Xiao Luzi Carefully put the document memorial on the long file, and replied with a smile: "The moss in the yard is slippery, I fell down, and I was afraid of getting wet with these babies, and my legs sprained a little... Xiangye is going Writing, this is my good fortune. I am about to let go of a foreigner to do business. I have been with you for the past few years, and I always see you writing for the officials. I am too young to open my mouth. Today, I have Come up here, I beg the Prime Minister to save face, and tell the Prime Minister, I have changed my name now, and the Long Live Lord personally chose it..." Then he told about the situation of Qianlong's "interview" at the Military Aircraft Department.Zhang Tingyu has never been easy to write inscriptions and sentences for others. Today, he felt that he was making an exception when writing a banner for Zhuang Yougong. He was thinking about declining it. When he heard that Qianlong had justified Xiao Lu's name, he changed his mind and said with a smile: "My handwriting is not good. If you become a big official, people will praise it in vain. In fact, you have a mirror in your heart, so you have to hide your clumsiness. It’s not because of Canada. Since you have the good fortune to meet the master to give you a name, I will give you a name. Just for fun, I pulled another smaller piece of paper, thinking to myself: This is a real local guy, and now he has let go of his job, so he should be warned by the righteousness of a gentleman and a villain, so he wrote: Those who practice benevolence and righteousness are gentlemen, and those who do not practice benevolence and righteousness are villains.There are hundreds of levels among gentlemen, and there are hundreds of levels among villains. There are those who are gentlemen who practice the way of villains, and those who practice the way of villains.There is a gentleman outside but a villain inside, and there is a villain outside but a gentleman inside.The Dao has no eternity, only the cultivation of virtue.Zhang Tingyu knows it carefully. A cursive script written like a dragon and a snake, handed it to Xiao Lu dripping with ink, and said: "You have just entered the official career, and you are a donating official. With thousands of words, you just want you to be a gentleman official to benefit one party. North Korea, it will not disappoint my painstaking efforts." "Thank you, Xiangye, for your words, and for your teaching." Xiao Lu blushed with joy, took the paper with both hands, dried it carefully, and said, "I used to be a boy at the Dezhou Inn, and I am today thanks to you. Mr. Yang and Mr. Xiang are supported. Mr. Yang is the most upright official, and Mr. Xiang is the first official. You are all gentlemen, and I am ashamed to be a villain. Although I don’t read much, I have listened to Guer Ci since I was a child. Fan Kui was a pig butcher, Ying Bu was a death row prisoner, and Lu Meng was begging for food. Wasn’t he also a villain at the time? Later, they all became “gentlemen”. If I do this, the old Xiangguo will be satisfied..." The two couldn't help smiling when they heard him say "I'm sorry" to be a villain.After listening to the characters he moved, I realized that this waiter had made great progress in the military aircraft department.When Zhang Tingyu sent Zhuang Yougong out of the pavilion, Xiao Lu saw no one, so he hid the fan with his sleeves.He frantically sorted and folded up the sent paperwork. Seeing that dinner was served, Xiao Lu took his leave and went back to the next place in a hurry. At this moment, Fu Heng has arrived at Yue Zhongqi's residence.His family members are still in Sichuan.This old house in Beijing, located on Chenghuangmiao South Street, was originally given by Emperor Yongzheng when General Fenwei was promoted to the first class. His son Yue Jun was the governor of Shandong.He came to Beijing to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors and wait for the ministry's collation, so he naturally stayed here.Yue Zhongqi returned to the mansion from Zhang Tingyu's place depressed, rejected his family, and sat alone for half an hour. They just drank the bitter and astringent tea one after another, booing the coldness in their hearts.Fu Heng came to comfort him with an order, but he didn't have the title to proclaim the order, so he didn't let the door be informed, and only brought his little Xi slave in with him. He saw Yue Zhongqi sitting on the easy chair with his eyes half closed, with his hands on his knees, as if Looking into meditation, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Dongmei, are you practicing Zen at home alone?" "It's Fu Xiang!" Yue Zhongqi shuddered suddenly, sat up straight, saw that the room had already darkened, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and light up the lamp! - Fu Xiang, do you have a purpose?" Trembling, he stood up and wanted to salute, Fu Heng He took two steps forward and held it down, and said with a smile: "There are so many orders! I went to the Fourteenth Master's mansion to see his illness, and I stopped by to see you. Thanks to you, there is no family member in this courtyard. With dozens of days, the front yard and the back yard are silent, barren like an ancient temple, and I will be bored if I live in such a place for a day. You should have brought your wife and children to Beijing..." Yue Zhongqi laughed Laughing, he also sat down after tea, and sighed: "Six Lord Tianhuang nobleman, I have been rolled out of the barracks all my life, how can I compare it? I actually brought out all the family members in this courtyard. Some of the soldiers in the Chinese army camp followed me to fight, some were old and sick, some were homeless, and they just followed me from left to right." He pondered Fu Heng's purpose for coming, and said after a while, "Sixth Lord can not only comprehend poetry Hua, the last time I took Yue Jun to visit, you played the pipa so well that I was fascinated. It sounded like I was fighting with thousands of troops again. You lead soldiers well and fight well. I'm old, my majesty is mighty, and last time I talked about military affairs in western borders and peace in southern borders, my sons will be able to witness the killing and meritorious deeds of the sixth master with your own eyes. I didn't say anything." Fu Heng sat with his feet crossed, holding a plain paper Xiangfei bamboo fan, unfolded it and closed it over and over again to play with it. Under the candle, his eyes became brighter and his face was like a crown jade. A big shiny braid was casually draped over his shoulders. , more obvious grandeur.He smiled as he listened, and nodded calmly, until Yue Zhongqi finished speaking with a large cart, then he smiled and said: "General Yue, don't flatter me. When you marched from Longxi, there was no me in this world! Hit me!" When I was born, I heard the two generals, one is Nian Gengyao, and the other is you! These days you rush to Zhang Hengchen because you are not convinced by the defeat in the battle with Tongbo. Big and small Jinchuan regained their old face, right?" "Master Liu is too shrewd." Yue Zhongqi laughed and said, "Mr.That being the case, I simply ask the sixth master to complete it, and don't want the sixth master to guarantee a ticket for me, a defeated general. I just say that the long live Lord is willing to summon him alone, and I will insist on Jinchuan's military situation. " Fu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at Yue Zhongqi, and said after a long while: "You think the emperor won't use you because you are incompetent?" "what?" "Do you think the emperor doesn't know that you are eager to make meritorious deeds and atone for your crime?" "Know……" "You don't know everything." Looking at the flickering candlelight, Fu Heng said slowly, "Your defeat in He Tongbo was due to the late emperor's inappropriate scheduling. The emperor is very clear about this, do you understand?"
