Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Chapter

Because it was dark and the road was far away, it took an hour to walk from Luhe Station to Zhang Tingyu's residence.He is Zhang Tingyu's protégé, and he is very well-known in the house. Seeing him coming in, a second housekeeper greeted him with a smile and said: "Our Master Xiang is actually a god. I expected you to come! The adults waiting in the guest room are all kicked out. It is said that if Li Zhitai arrives, I will take it in directly!" Li Fu smiled, stuffed a piece of silver, and followed the housekeeper to the study.As he walked, he asked carefully: "Ms. Zhang got up at four o'clock? How is his body? I heard that Mr. Mei Feng released the prefect of Jinan?" The housekeeper answered one by one in a low voice, "The more you think about it, the more energetic you are, and now you are all down. I can't sleep for two and a half hours a day. Brother Mei Feng originally said that he would stay in Baoding, Zhili. Today, the brothers cannot stay in Zhili as an official. What's more, Mr. Li—Master Li, you are the governor of Zhili, and you are also a disciple of his old man. There is a meeting inside, and my father is taking care of it inside, I can't go there, master, please do it yourself." Li Fu nodded in anger, and went straight to the study with his crown and clothes, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Zhang Tingyu's voice inside: "Yes Are you coming? There are too many people inside, so stop saluting and sit on the chair by the window."

"yes!" Li Fu agreed and entered the study room, and saw that the two princes, Yunzhi and Yunlu, were sitting in the front seats, both wearing court clothes, the second-floor golden dragon crown and court beads were placed on the coffee table, and the rest of the people were also dressed neatly and sat upright. It was as if he withdrew from Chaoli and rushed to the Prime Minister's mansion without returning home.In addition to Prince Cheng Yunzhi and Prince Zhuang Yunlu, sitting next to him was a poinsettia official, Admiral Delonga of Fengtai Daying Camp, and a second-rank military officer Li Fu also recognized him, his name was Tu Lichen. It is the Admiral of the Nine Gates.There are several other people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, except for one auditorium official named Yu Hongtu, whom Li Fu didn't know, because he sat on a chair by the window, and greeted each acquaintance with his eyes. "Li Ju came just in time," Prince Zhuang Yunlu was speaking. "As soon as you, the governor, arrived, all the chiefs of the capital's armed forces and yamen were there. We are the emperor who met in Da Nei this afternoon. Prince Yi is too sick to be a director. , the emperor will go to see him in the evening. Well... Tonight, two meetings will be held separately: one is at Prince Lian's place, and several banner owners are listening to mynah's arrangements to rectify the flag affairs; we will also discuss at the other end. It has not been rectified for 70 years. Banner people can't fight wars now, and they don't have any business. If they continue like this, they will become waste in the future. Julai was not here just now. I'm afraid you don't understand. Let me explain here first. We don't want to It’s hard for these banner owners and princes to help them run their errands in an orderly manner.” Among the twenty sons left by Emperor Kangxi, Yunlu was the sixteenth, and he was beaten by the grandson Yunyu when he was young because he contradicted the crown prince. He was slapped, his ears were a little back, but he was tall and handsome, because he was honest and honest, he always just greeted and saw the foreign vassals, and he was also a minister of the internal affairs, and never showed his face in front of the ministers.These words were specially spoken to Li Fu, so that Li Fu "understood", but unfortunately the words were incoherent, talking nonsense, Li Fu stared, confused, and could only answer "yes".Prince Cheng sat at the head, seeing Li Fu's bewildered face, he hurriedly interjected to explain for Yunlu: "Master Shiliu made it very clear. Rectifying the flag affairs is a difficult task. The imperial court plans to reduce the expenses of the flag affairs so that the flag people can support themselves. In the palaces of the princes in the capital, the banner camps were full of tens of thousands of people, fearing that there would be troubles, so the eighth master called the banner owner, the prince, to come to Beijing. They have a meeting to rectify the details, and the government must strictly guard against the inspectors to prevent the villains from provoking trouble. Zhang Xiang invited everyone here to discuss this matter."

Only then did Li Fu understand that the meeting "here" clearly stated that it was to cooperate with Yunhu in "rectifying the flag affairs", but in fact it was to prevent the iron hat king from leading the flag to create chaos.It has been a few years since Yunyu took up this errand, and Li Fu didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was just a government affair to settle the livelihood of the unemployed and unemployed bannermen. Nearly 20 years of party struggle with Yunhu.Thinking of the heavily guarded and murderous customs arrangement at Luhe Station, Li Fu couldn't help but shudder, because he bowed and said: "I understand the instructions of the two princes. I am a Han, and I don't know the system here. What errands to send, the lords and the Prime Minister have to explain clearly, I will try my best to do it."

"You have two errands." Zhang Tingyu looked at his proud student with satisfaction, "One Shuntianfu Township Examination, which you will take the exam. There are all bannermen's children here, so as to prevent them from instigating scholars to make trouble. The defense of the capital There are Tulichen and Bilita, each according to the defense zone. You are the governor of Zhili, and the military affairs of this province are also your duties. You must pay attention to the movement of several banner camps in Zhili. If there is a conspiracy, and those who act secretly should be investigated at any time Report at any time. You go to the Qingfan Temple to meet the Thirteenth Lord every other day, and the Seventeenth Lord is also there to report the situation of the rectification of the banner camps. If there are good news and bad news, this is your second job." Yun Zhi smiled. Said: "Hengchen Xianggong understands the plot. The sixteenth brother and I preside over the etiquette of the inner court. Last time, the eighth brother told me that according to the system of the previous dynasty, the emperor and the banner owner and prince are only divided into seats, and there is no royal ceremony. I said I'm afraid it won't work. Now Yunxiang is also a hereditary prince. It's the same thing to meet each other in ordinary times. On occasions that are slightly more solemn, I still kneel down three times and kowtow nine times. I didn't ask Yunlu later. I don't know who you are How do you say it?"

Yun Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "I don't remember. I don't remember discussing this matter. The starling said that he would make a report, and several princes would meet the emperor together, and turn the report into a decree to be issued to the world. I asked for instructions. Long live, long live, I laughed when I heard it, and said, "Kneeling three times and knocking nine times, kneeling twice and knocking six times, this is not a big deal. The most important thing is to manage the flag affairs well. The flag camp must be able to fight wars, and the court must use them effectively." If the bannermen want to be able to make a living, the household department can avoid some expenses, and avoid their absurd frolics, even if they bow and salute, I don't care." Zhang Tingyu said: "I have accompanied the holy grandfather to visit the sky several times, my lords. There are those who kneel down three times and kowtow nine times when they see you, and there are also those who are exempted by the holy order. In Chengde, the princes also excused themselves when they saw the emperor. This time it is in Beijing. I think it is necessary to kneel three times when the emperor and his ministers are separated for a long time. Nine kowtows. Ceremony is not a trivial matter. It is division, separation; it is reason." Yun Lu licked his lips and said, "Then, then follow Zhang Xiang's regulations."

"It won't be too late when the emperor summons me." Yunzhi smiled, stood up and said, "I still have to go to the Qingfan Temple, the old Shisan's symptoms are not good! You continue to discuss. Don't just be afraid of trouble, Don't gossip about trivial matters. Discussing major affairs, and doing the flag affairs well according to the emperor's will is serious." He said a few more words without pain or itching, and then left with a smile.Everyone stood up and waited for him to go out before sitting down again.Seeing Zhang Tingyu's melancholy face, Tu Lichen just groaned and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, don't worry, nothing will happen. The king's hat is made of iron hats, not his head. Now the flag camp and the Han army flag are both Using imperial money and food, not the salary of the banner owner! They obediently follow the imperial court’s advice to rectify the banner affairs and everything is fine; if they want to have other delusions, as long as the master orders, I can drive them out of the capital in two hours, and let them The head is more convenient!"

Zhang Tingyu waved his hands and said: "You still need to say that? I'm most afraid of you thinking like this! What I want is a smooth rectification. Several princes are rich and honorable, but they are actually sitting in Beijing and suppressing the cattle records of various banners to reduce the money and grain. If the land is distributed and the rent and tax are fixed, this mission will be considered complete. I am afraid that someone will instigate something else to happen. The clean-up of the land tax system has already made us upside down. The more stable the government, the better." Li Fu As soon as I heard it, I knew that my old and prudent teacher had a heart of Buddha, and wanted to keep Yunxu and his lords safe; because of a smile, he said: "This is not wishful thinking, Mr. Tu is sharpening his sword here, just to be prepared. It will rain Mother wants to marry, so it’s hard to say." Tu Lichen cast a gentle look at Li Fu, caressing a long scar on his left cheek and smiling: "Master Julai, this is a heartfelt word. But I After all, he was born as a fighter, and he likes to deal with it quickly."

"It's best not to turn your back on you." Yunlu gave Zhang Tingyu an uneasy look, "If you turn your back on it, you will have a big case that hasn't been done in hundreds of years. If you don't turn your back on it, maybe some people's ambitions will be suppressed, and they will be honest." Zhang Tingyu Can't help nodding repeatedly, Yongzheng said that Yunlu's articulation is difficult and his heart is clear, which is really true.After thinking about it, he said: "What Master Sixteen said is very true." Yun Lu stood up and said, "It's still early, Mr. Hengchen and Li Futu Lichen, you guys continue to discuss, the emperor still has an order for me to deal with it." Fanyuan, let’s see what their rules of etiquette are. I have to go to see myna, and then I will go to see the emperor with Hongshi and Sange. As for me, I won’t go back to the palace tonight. If there's anything you don't understand, it's convenient to see me."

"Farewell to the prince!" Zhang Tingyu hurriedly got up and said. "Forget it." Prince Zhuang Yunlu waved his hand casually, and led Yu Hongtu and a group of pens out.A gust of cold wind came in through the curtains, rustling the calligraphy and painting scrolls in the empty study room, and the shadows of the candles flickered. Immediately, an uneasy thought made Li Fu shiver, and he was full of energy, and something big was about to happen! Yun Lu hurried to the door of Prince Lian's Mansion outside Chaoyang Gate and got out of the sedan chair, took out his pocket watch to see, it was just after Xu hour.He Zhu'er, the head of the palace eunuchs, had already greeted him. He brought a few young Sura eunuchs to greet him, and said with an apologetic smile: "The eighth and ninth masters and the princes from Fengtian have already started a meeting. The eighth master originally said that the Zhuang prince Presiding over the internal affairs has already been notified that he must come, but later it was getting late, and the lords had to walk a long way back to the post, so I asked the slaves to wait for the lord..." Yun Lu asked as he walked in "Are you in the Xihua Hall?——They are all brothers, and they are all on court errands. Mynah is very careful." He Zhuer led the way sideways and said: "Xihua Hall is small, and it's in Ba Ye's main study! Over here Firewalls and earth dragons have been newly built, and it’s warm!" As he spoke, he led Yunlu past the two gates of the collapsed building, walked along the corridor to the main study room, and walked along the large open space in the courtyard to the corridors on both sides, and the family members had already passed the word. Go in, "Prince Zhuang is here!" Dozens of eunuchs standing under the red watermelon lantern in front of the study, and hundreds of entourage guards led by the prince in front of the steps seemed to have heard someone's order, and immediately knelt down on the ground.Seeing Yunyu smiling all over his face, he came out with Yunyu behind him.

The three brothers bowed politely and entered the study room. Yun Lu suddenly felt warm and stretched all over his body. Looking at the study room, the main room with five couplets was opened up. There is a large glass window along the south verandah, and the bookshelves on the east and west sides are safe. Just measure against the wall and go up to the ceiling.There are shelves for books, calligraphy and paintings. On the wall in the north kang is Tang Yin's "Autumn Fishing Fields". There are two screens on the east and west sides. The screens are all made of hollow bricks. The interlinked fire wall is used for heating, but the decoration makes the whole study room scattered and spaced.There are tea tables and low armchairs in front of the screen, and the four hereditary princes with iron hats are all sitting in front of the screen with solemn faces.The one-color East Pearl court crown, the rolling dragon embroidered Sherui hood, and the four dragon coats are covered with Jiangya Haihai court robes.

"Come on, let me introduce you." Yunyu held Yunlu's hand coldly, and said to the four princes: "This is the prince in charge in front of Long Live today, my sixteenth brother. Prince Yi is not in good health. Prince Yunli often goes to Shengjing, you all know him, he is training in Gubeikou, and he hasn’t rushed back yet, now he is busy with me, the sixteenth brother, inside and out. Uh—” Yunhu paused for a moment, then pointed The youngest prince on the left introduced in turn: "This is Prince Rui Duluo, Prince Dong Yongxin, Prince Guo Chengnuo, Prince Jian Lebutuo..." The four princes had already stood up, nodding their heads in agreement. Greetings. Yun Lu always bowed and returned the salute, looking cold and polite, and said: "Prince Du Luo met once he came to Beijing. The other three also met in Chengde during the Kangxi period. But at that time, the king was still the residence of the vassal. Brother, because of the national system, although I am close in my heart, I can’t be as close as I am now. When I come to Beijing this time, I have to stay for a few days before I return to Shengjing. Invite guests, come to Fengtian, do you want to show the friendship of the landlords?" After saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled, He Yunyu gave up his hand, and the guests and hosts sat at the tea table under the kang.He looked at Yunyu's study and said with a smile: "Brother's study is well arranged, and this "Lanting Collection Preface" seems to be more preoccupied than the third brother. Although the book in the third brother's "Songhetang" I have never seen so many Song version books. Oh, last time I asked Mynah to give me a copy of "The Painting of Woodcutters". I think this painting by Tang Bohu is better. I don't want that one, just Here is this one for me. Didn’t the starling take a fancy to my set of inside-painted snuff bottles? Let’s exchange one thing for another, how about it?” Yunyu heard him speak clearly when he saw the prince, and then these words became Knowing that he had "practiced" in secret, he smiled secretly, because he said: "Your eyesight is not bad. This "Lanting Collection Preface" was given to me by the third brother himself. The Song version of the book here is More than half of them are fakes, but this "Autumn Fishing Field Interesting Picture" is still the real one. Last year, I copied Cao Yin's house, and Hede respected me. If you like it, I will send it to you later. My brother, don't say that you are divided. "Yun Lu nodded and sighed: "Brother is too flattering, I actually have very limited ability to distinguish authentic and fake antiques. It is only after Mr. Fang Bao gave me a few pointers that I can tell the authenticity." No longer so rigid and indifferent.Du Luo, Prince Rui who was sitting on one side was the youngest of the four kings. Seeing that Yun Lu couldn't hear Yun Hu's full of teasing words, he was "modestly" bragging indiscriminately, choked on a mouthful of hot tea, almost spit it out with laughter, holding back His face turned red before he swallowed.Yunhu coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk about serious business." "I just said a lot." Yunhu glanced at Yunlu, "This time the rectification of the banner affairs, the Holy Majesty has been thinking over and over again, and must sort out a trick: not only not to hurt the dignity of the bannermen, but also to be self-reliant. To cultivate the demeanor of courage and wisdom in the early days of the country. The owners of the upper three banners have been taken over by the emperor since the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and the rectification of the lower five banners depends on us present. Before you came to Beijing, you have led, participated in the leadership, and The list of Niu Lu was presented to me innocence. I looked at it, and the ownership was clear and clear. It’s just that the age has passed, and there are all the people who carried the nationality and changed the flag of each banner, and it is difficult to call back the original owner. Ten years is the time limit, and the full statistics are here. I have a booklet in five copies. You princes can remake the booklet according to this booklet, and it will be unified. Then how to meet in Beijing on the spot, Buda. There are 37,411 people in total. Miyun, Fangshan, Changping, Shunyi, Huairou, and Yanqing can allocate 2 million mu of flag fields, regardless of age, each person will be allocated 40 acres of flag fields. Counting from this year , within five years, the monthly payment of the bannermen will not be fixed, and after five years, it will be reduced by 20% per year. For ten years, the bannermen will all be self-sufficient. I have asked the emperor for instructions, and the emperor said that as long as the bannermen are self-reliant, they can never pay taxes. It is really difficult. The old, the weak, the widows, the disabled, the disabled, the disabled, and the disabled are still being raised by the state. In fact, as long as you do the calculations, the income of 40 acres exceeds the current monthly standard for banner people. People look farther away and understand the sincerity of the Holy Lord's court to love and support Manchuria. Let me say something close to myself. ?It is the gentry among the Han people, and the imperial court is also trying to pay food with the people in several provinces. We Manchus have such a privilege, is it not because we are surnamed 'Man', are the pillars of the country's confidence, and the merits earned by our ancestors!" Yun She spoke eloquently and eloquently, from the high and lofty temples and the mighty grace of the saints to the disadvantages of growing and multiplying under the flag, and being pampered and pampered every day.It took a full meal, and my lips were burnt and my mouth was dry.Yun Lu couldn't help thinking to himself: He's really a good player, but it's a pity that he and Yongzheng had a rift. If there hadn't been the unscrupulous relationship between brothers in the early years, and now that An Sheng is the regent, it would be difficult for Yunxiang and Yunli to match his talent.He glanced at the four silent princes, paused, and said with a smile: "I wanted to say a few words, Prince Lian spoke so clearly, you don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, you are all sensible people, you don't need to Too much talk. The purpose is set like this, if you don't understand some details, you can talk about it, and I see that the emperor can play for you." The four princes were silent for a while, Prince Jane Lebuteau coughed lightly, lit the cigarette, took two puffs and said: "There is nothing to say about the rectification of the flag affairs. It is the wise decision of the Holy One." He is the fourth prince. The oldest among them was over seventy years old, but he still spoke quickly and concisely, but his left arm, which had been injured by an arrow, trembled a little. He stroked his snow-white beard and said, "The bordered blue flag is Under my flag, the people who lower the head of the flag are really getting more and more unreasonable. Not to mention Beijing, even in Shengjing, there are thousands of armored people under my flag. They haven’t fought for many years, and they can’t get on horses. They don’t know how to do errands. I know how to raise a dog and go to teahouses, bragging about the merits of my ancestors. After receiving the monthly payment, I went to the restaurant first to satisfy my greed. It disappeared in less than half a month, and I went around borrowing money to eat and drink. I have a salary of 30,000 yuan a year, and I have to take out 10,000 to spend These idiots. When it comes to the three words 'unbelievable', I really hate it. But think about the blood and sweat of their ancestors, and there is nothing they can do about him! So last year the edict to rectify the banner administration was sent to me There, I said 10,000 people were willing to agree." He calmly filled the smoke, lit the fire, and puffed out the clouds and said: "But now the situation is not the first year of Kangxi. The Lord is not clear about it. The three banners of Xianghuang, Zhenghuang, and Zhengbai are the upper three banners of the emperor. Since the Sixteenth Master is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he naturally knows it well. What about the five banners? Each banner has five participants Who are the twenty assistant leaders and the three hundred Niu Lu? Who among us can tell the truth? If we don’t clear up this personnel matter, the responsibilities will be unclear, and talking about rectification is empty talk. For example, I Niu Lu from Cai Ting was the lieutenant general, and his immediate superior, the third chief officer, Hua Shan, served as a horse under him instead—the imperial system and the Eight Banners rules are the top of the bull, who do you think is in charge of whom? I should find this bull To record lectures or participate in the leadership?" Before he finished speaking, Yongxin and Chengnuo agreed in unison, talking about the situation in their own banners.Some are distributed as officials in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Guangxi, and some bosses have become idle bannermen with no errands, and they can't be caught at all.Prince Rui Du Luo, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Some of the coat-coated slaves have become great officials in frontiers. Fujian General Fang Zhengming, who is in the Green Camp of the Han Army, now lives in eight seats. His master Niu Luwa Gerda was the whistle chief in his camp, and the two of them couldn't meet each other. Fang Zhengming went to Fengtian to see me last year, told me about this, and asked me to give him his identity card, and I said I was a sinful prince. This right? Advise him to spend a few thousand taels of silver to give to the owner to go back and take care of himself.” "The matter is not limited to this end." Lebutuo was excited by everyone's approval, pointing to Du Luo and said, "Prince Rui was originally the lord of the Yellow Banner. During the Shunzhi period, the old Prince Rui did bad things. The Xianghuang Banner has been handed over to the Grandfather since the 12th year of Kangxi. He is the owner of the banner, and God knows which banner he is in charge of!" Yunyu and Yunyu listened to the grievances of the princes with a dull face, and they were very happy in their hearts.In fact, except for Yongxin, the three princes are not their confidantes.However, Yongxin's banner camps are all concentrated in the Heishan area of ​​Liaoning, which is the easiest to rectify, and it is also convenient to call, but this way, Yongxin has no excuse to attack.Since Yongzheng issued a decree for Yunyu Yunxuan to rectify the flag affairs, in order to collude with these princes and the enemy to unite and demand the resumption of the eight kings' governance, the two brothers and sisters have spent a lot of brains and thoughts, and even hired two British officials from Guangzhou to spend a lot of money. missionary.One sent to Fengtian Yongxin Wangfu, and the other Lizun taught English in the Bawangfu, so they exchanged letters in English.So when the four kings came to Beijing, Yongxin informed them that "everyone of them has this intention, and they are afraid that the emperor will be so powerful that stealing chickens will not make them lose money."Seeing the pent-up anger of the princes flare up, both of them were so excited that their hearts were pounding, and they tried their best to restrain their faces from being tense.Seeing Yunlu's sleepy face, Yunyu didn't hear what the princes said, secretly gritted his teeth, added fire, and said: "You say these things, Ba Ye, some of us know, some don't, What needs to be rectified now is flag affairs, not government affairs. What are your thoughts and opinions?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Yongxin. "Two regulations." Yongxin's black and red face glowed, and he replied, "The rectification of the flag affairs is connected with the government affairs. The emperor will preside over it personally, and the five flags under the upper three flags will be included. Otherwise, the emperor will temporarily put the upper Three Banners delegate power to the Sixteenth, Eighth, and Ninth Masters, so that the Eight Banners have all the powers. Discuss and order together, and this dead grind will be pushed forward." Yunyu turned his face and smiled and said to Yunlu: "Ten What does the sixth brother think?" Yunlu just felt that he couldn't figure it out in a mess. He was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I need to ask the emperor for such a big matter. The emperor is going all out to reform the bureaucracy, and he is in charge of the overall affairs. He can't be distracted from the flag affairs, let alone He said that he would preside over it every day. As for the handing over of the upper three banners and our temporary management, it is related to the government system of the imperial court, and I am afraid that we will have a meeting with the Military Aircraft Department in the study room to make a decision." "What the hell is the Military Aircraft Department?" Yongxin frowned, "Military Aircraft Department knows how to fight? It only knows how to play tricks! There is a Luo Buzang Tenzin in Qinghai, with a total of less than 80,000 people. Nian Gengyao It took 8 million silver and 230,000 troops, and the culprit escaped. I don’t understand, is the emperor Sinicized, or our bannermen’s soldiers really became wine bags and rice bags? When I sent troops, I had The memorial, please limit me to 30,000 Ding Mo of the red flag inlaid in Montenegro, and one million salary, and Qinghai will cut off my head and use it as a chamber pot! The emperor gave me the words 'his aspirations are commendable', noncommittal!" As soon as he opened the stage so presumptuously, the three princes immediately resonated. "That's right!" Lebutuo said, "The emperor is too used to pampering the Han people. Nian Gengyao returned to the court after victory, and all civil and military officials greeted him from ten miles away. The yellow reins and purple horses rode thousands of horses, and even the princes in Beijing looked down on him." Wu Bai, I followed our old prince to the south of Fujian, and defeated 200,000 enemies in the battle of Baiyunling, who will take one step towards my grandparents?" "How many good things do the Han people have?" Prince Guo Chengnuo sneered, "Zhou Peigong was known as a famous general back then, but in fact, without the old general Tuhai, he can't do anything!" "Don't mention that Zhou Peigong! He has the worst intentions! If he hadn't suggested that all people from the Beijing Banner be recruited, our Eight Banners system would still not be in chaos!" Yongxin slandered and criticized, "I heard from my old man that he still did it for A woman died of lovesickness. Bah, scumbag!" Yunhu frowned and added fuel to the fire: "My lords, it's too far away. That's a matter in the hands of the Emperor Daxing!" "It's the same thing!" Prince Jane waved his hand, excitedly He had to take off his hat, waved his hand and said, "At that time, I had a headache to treat my head, and my feet hurt to treat my feet. How difficult it is to rectify it now!" Yongxin immediately put the finishing touch on it, and said: "If the late emperor hadn't abolished the Eight Kings' administration, the administration would have come from With the hands of the bannerman, the banner government and the banner affairs will not be demolished to this extent." Lebuteau was about to answer, Cheng Nuo dragged his voice and said: "In my opinion, the system of the old ancestors is better. The emperor is in charge, and the eight kings are discussing politics! When we entered the customs, a total of 120,000 people swept across the Central Plains, swept across the south of the Yangtze River, and swept across Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian—" He gestured with his hands, "There is nothing in the world!" "Everyone, don't be impatient." When Yunlu heard the crowd shouting "Eight Kings discussing politics", his body trembled as if he was being pricked, and he pressed his hands weakly. After everyone calmed down, he said slowly: "We'll go back to the In the current situation, the flag affairs should be rectified according to the emperor's purpose. The princes said that the emperor is facing the Han people. This has been said in the Kangxi period. In fact, the Manchu people eat the blood of the temple and enjoy the virtues of their ancestors. No matter whether the emperor is or the present, there is no wrong. The hearts of the children of Manchuria. There are suggestions on government affairs. I can calmly raise them when I see that the flag affairs are in good shape. For example, the bordered yellow flag was originally managed by Prince Rui. Now the emperor personally manages the upper three flags. How can Prince Rui manage it? Do it, this is a matter. I will go back and play the Emperor Ming, there must be a will. Restoring the eight kings to discuss government affairs is related to the state system, it is not our job, nor is it within our authority." Yongxin glanced at Yunlu and smiled dryly. He said: "There is no eight kings discussing politics, and we bannermen can't even command a single bannerman. How can we start to rectify? I'm so surprised. How close is that! Now that we have come to Beijing on business, why can’t we even see each other? Please, the Sixteenth Master, will act on your behalf, saying that we miss Sheng Gong, and there are some difficulties in running the business, please ask the emperor to summon us.” Always Prince Rui Du Luo, who sat with very few words, said with a smile: "I am in a different situation from you. Our old prince has been wronged for sixty or seventy years, and now I have resumed my official duties. I am grateful for the grace in my heart, and I really want to see you The emperor said his heartfelt words, listen to the emperor's admonition, do the errands well, and do my duty—this is my statement, please send the sixteenth master to the emperor." Then, he handed a sealed letter to Yunlu .Yunhu had met with this young vassal with a foreign surname several times in Beijing. When it came to the "eight kings discussing politics", the prince talked about him from left to right, and he couldn't avoid him when rectifying the banner affairs.Seeing his behavior at this moment, Yunyu really wanted to be bored, and said with a dry smile: "Prince Rui is young and mature, this statement must be in line with the current situation!" Entering in the air-conditioning, he said without saluting: "There is a purpose." Yunyu, Yunyu, Yunlu and the kings all stood up when they heard the sound, and knelt down with the hem of their robes lifted.Hiroshi took out his hand and wiped the frost on his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Yunyu, Yunyu and all the kings from the east will come to see you tomorrow through the Xihuamen! Here you go!" "Long live!" Everyone bowed their heads.Hongshi smiled and said to Yunlu: "Uncle Sixteen, the emperor told me to see you. The matter here should be clear, how about we go first?"
