Chapter 43 The 43rd Chapter of Bianliang City Fu Yamen Explains the Old Regrets

The rain came and went quickly, and at dawn the next day, the clouds cleared and the rain gathered, and the moon was bright and the stars were shining again.Nian Gengyao, who originally planned to stay in Beijing for a few more days, had no choice but to go to the palace to bid farewell.Yongzheng summoned him with an extremely warm and intimate tone, so he gave the imperial meal in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The emperor and his ministers chatted and laughed happily at the banquet, and they talked very speculatively. Working hard is ruining your body and bones. I have decreed that Yue Dongmei (Zhong Qi) will still retreat to Sichuan. You just need to rein in your soldiers and avoid troubles. Liu Molin will go to Liu Molin on the matter of food and pay, and coordinate the provinces to handle it. It's up to you to control. Your sister has already been promoted to the imperial concubine, and your father and brother are all taken care of by me. You are in the army as usual, train your soldiers well, and don't care about other things. Now Qinghai and Tibet are stable. Hold on, in the future when the national power is more abundant, I still plan to let your troops march westward to wipe out the rebels in Arabatan. I have high hopes for you... I will be the master of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope you will be a good minister and general, just for you A Lingyan Pavilion is not something that cannot be counted on..." One end said, the other persuaded him to drink, and poured bowls of rice soup with emotion.Nian Gengyao originally planned to ask how to deal with Shi Yizhi, but was blocked by these tender words, so he only asked Yongzheng to say yes.Until the card at the beginning of the time, people from the Ministry of Rites came in and reported: "Hundreds of officials are waiting outside the Meridian Gate, and I invite General Nian to accept gifts from the suburbs."

"Your Majesty's oracle will be kept in your mind." Nian Gengyao stood up and bowed to Yongzheng, "A slave can only repay his master's kindness by working hard for the king's affairs!" Yongzheng also stood up and looked around the hall, as if he wanted to appreciate something, but he always felt that there was nothing to give. After thinking about it, he took a handle carved with gold and pearls, as if sighing, and said: "There is no need to confess, everything is in the heart. Middle. You have to endure hardships when you go out. I don’t know how to reward you. Take it away, look at it when you eat, think about it when you train, and take it with you when you march, just like I am by your side. ..."

Yongzheng's eyes turned red as he spoke, and tears welled up.Nian Gengyao was so moved that he turned over and knelt down on the ground with a "squeaky" promise, choked up and said, "Master, take care, the slave is gone!" Yongzheng helped Nian Gengyao up with both hands, and said with a smile, "It's not about life and death, but about death." Why be sad? I’m the same today, I can’t control myself for the first time in so many years. Get up——I will send you to the Meridian Gate, let’s go out together.” So the two walked out of the Chuihua Gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation side by side, but instead of taking the ride, they just took a walk to the south, went around the three main halls, entered through the gate on the right wing, walked through the Gate of Supreme Harmony, crossed the Jinshui Bridge and headed straight for the Meridian Gate.Seeing the banners outside the Meridian Gate and the armored soldiers standing in the sun, Yongzheng stopped, staring outside as if thoughtful, waved his hands and ordered Zhang Wuge and his guards to avoid him.Nian Gengyao had been following his attendants all along, seeing that Yongzheng seemed to have something to say, he quickly bowed and asked, "The emperor seems to have something on his mind?"

"Yes..." Yongzheng sighed, "I have been hesitating all this time, wondering if it's the right time to speak." Nian Gengyao stared at Yongzheng suspiciously, not knowing how to reply, and said after a long while: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty!" Yongzheng paused After a while, he said, "I still plan to call Yunzhen back to your army." Nian Gengyao laughed as soon as he heard it, and said, "Whether Jiuye is in Beijing or in the army, what's the problem? He can't do the work! —— and according to the servants, Jiuye seems to be in peace."

"I'm most afraid of you thinking like this." Yongzheng gritted his teeth and sneered, "Why don't I want to be harmonious with my brothers? But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop! This is said in the palace, the ears and eyes are too complicated, and it is not just a sentence or two. It's clear. Now that I'm leaving, I just want to ask you, what will you do if the eighth master turns against the court?" "It's impossible for such a thing to happen! If such a thing really happens, one hundred thousand elite servants will kill King Qin of Beijing!"

Yongzheng nodded, and said: "I can only say that I hope that such a thing will not happen. But how desperately did they try to seize the heir, what are they trying to do? The old eight, the ninth, the ten, the fourteenth, they are the villains, and they must not I hope they will repent. Now we are dealing with them separately, just to prevent them from committing crimes! The more beautifully you manage your errands outside, the more stable and enjoyable the emperor will be! Otherwise, it will be difficult for anything to happen. Unexpectedly. That's why I don't focus on Shi Yizhi. Shi Yizhi said, "There are traitors on Dingxuan's side", not deceiving the emperor!" Nian Gengyao's face was flushed red, and he took a step forward, pressing his voice His voice was trembling with excitement, and he said: "Please issue an order from the emperor, and the slaves will get rid of this 'Baye Party' in half an hour!" Yongzheng smiled and said: "Lianggong, you don't understand politics. Even if you are not in Beijing, I will be ruthless." To take them is only a matter of a piece of imperial edict. Don't forget that they are all brothers of my own flesh and blood! Even if the crime is obvious, I can't bear it. I can't even educate my own brothers, how can I convert the world? They are now I didn't dare to act rashly, I just waited for me to ruin the court situation, and then summoned the Eight Banners and Banners to abolish and establish things according to the law of the ancestors. He is still my good younger brother even if he has retreated from his delusion!" Yongzheng's face was serious, and Nian Gengyao's blood boiled with enthusiasm at one moment, and he hung his heart high at another moment, as if he wanted to punish Yunxuan and others. Nian Gengyao didn't have time to think about it, but he felt that if he didn't take himself as his confidant, the emperor would definitely not be able to say these words, so he agreed repeatedly in his mouth, and said: " The servant is leading the army outside, and the villains are absolutely useless. Long live, when it comes to brotherhood, the servant dare not intervene, but I beg the emperor to take care of himself. Once the servant is used, step up 800 miles, and you can reach the servant in three days There, you can respond anytime soon." Yongzheng smiled and said, "That's good. I'm just worrying about it, and I'm just telling you, you know it well. In fact, the city of Beijing can't be turned upside down—there were eight kings in the city back then. I'm not afraid of fourteen kings out there—go, I'll send you out, it's not good to talk here for too long." After finishing speaking, Yongzheng walked slowly, and Nian Gengyao followed behind with a solemn face.Seeing that the Yujia was activated, the gunners downstairs in Wufeng Building lit the cannon.Following the sound of three cannons from the muffled thunder price, the Changyin Pavilion beating drums and beating the chimes, the sound of Huang Zhong and Da Lu was loud and thunderous.Dozens of eunuchs in Gao Wuyong, wearing yellow umbrellas and feather fans, surrounded the emperor and the general and left the main entrance of the Meridian Gate...

On the fifth day since Nian Gengyao returned to Beijing, Wu Sidao rushed back to Kaifeng, Tian Wenjing already knew the origin of this lame master.Although I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I have to pay more respect.Every day, regardless of whether he went to the Yamen or not, he sent someone early in the morning to send fifty taels of Taizhou foot prints for the god's expenses.Sometimes Wu Sidao went to the yamen to do business, and sometimes he didn’t come at all. After receiving the money, he wandered around the scenic spots in the provincial capital. , more carefree.Wu Fengge, Zhang Yuncheng, Yao Jie and the three masters saw hatred in their eyes, and made several indirect remarks to reveal Wu Sidao's selfish intentions. Tian Wenjing was all about him by Wang Gu, and only said: "He has a disability, and he should take care of him more. Son. Do you earn less money? It’s not worth getting angry about.” The three masters were so angry that they simply didn’t go to the government office to do business.

Tian Wenjing took office in Henan immediately, and he was determined to rectify the administration of officials. He did not expect that as a governor, he held a lot of power in his hand and had a constitution in his mouth, and he was still under control in everything.For the case of Chao Liu, more than 20 people from the Niesi Yamen were taken, and Hu Qiheng and Che Ming were impeached with evidence. They have all been confessed, but it was the imperial court's document, which was approved by the official department as "the general's car inscription, Hu Qiheng's corruption of ink, and the lawlessness of the Xiebu Shangwen".The Ministry of Punishment criticized that "the one-sided statement made by the monks and the people is very shocking. It is obvious that they have passed the blame on the ministers in an attempt to confuse right and wrong, so we will report the facts after the review."Looking at these articles, Tian Wenjing was so angry that he wanted to cry: he had issued a constitutional card, asking Che Ming and Hu Qiheng to seal and listen to the participants, in order to get rid of the articles, so that he could confront these lewd monks and nuns in court and try the case. The truth came to light.Now that Che and Hu are impressively in power, how can single-trial monks and nuns be determined?Looking around again, Wu Sidao doesn't ask about everything, Wu Fengge sits on the sidelines, and only himself is left alone, standing alone and hanging from each other, the real monofilament is hard to achieve alone!Thinking hard all night in the signing room, Tian Wenjing didn't close his eyes.Until Maoshi, all the deacons in the governor's yamen came. Tian Wenjing endured the pain in his heart, and asked Zhu Xigui to go to the governor's yamen and the inspector's yamen to invite Hu Qiheng and Che Ming.Zhu Xigui promised before he left, when he saw an official brought in by the gatekeeper outside. He was tall, dark and thin, with a pair of small black and bright eyes embedded in his protruding cheekbones. Wearing a sapphire crown, one can tell at a glance that he is a third-rank official.Tian Wenjing stood up in astonishment, but when he took a closer look, he was an acquaintance, Gao Qizhuo, Huguang's political envoy—I don't know when he came to Kaifeng?

"What are you in a daze for?" Gao Qizhuo was very bold, strode into the signing room, and said with a smile, "Is it such a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Back then you were working with the Thirteenth Master in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and you went to Sichuan to urge the treasury bank. Have you never dealt with Qizhuo before? Now that you are in Fengjiang, you don’t even know each other!" Tian Wenjing returned the salute and said, "Where is it? Do you dare to know your brother Qizhuo? It suddenly fell from the sky, I can’t think of——how? You don’t want to report it, you’re getting more and more decent!” Gao Qizhuo sat down with a smile, took the tea from Li Hongsheng, and said with a smile: “Don’t be angry with me. They want to report it. It's me who didn't let me make such nonsense, and opened the door to fire, which is not in our favor."

After a few pleasantries, Tian Wenjing became dull again, touched his knees and sighed and said, "Brother Qiaoshan, did you come to Beijing to introduce you?" See you here. Come over from Li Wei's side. The emperor ordered me to see you first." Tian Wenjing hurriedly got up and bowed, and said, "Why is Wenjing not worthy!" Seeing that Li Hongsheng was still standing, he said, "Go, just say Mr. Gao is calling from Huguang, and please come over to talk with us. Ask the kitchen to prepare wine!" "That's it," Gao Qizhuo waited for Li Hongsheng to go out, sat down, waved his fan and said, "The emperor is going to build a mausoleum in Zunhua. The Qin Tianjian chose a place, and I went to see it last year. I said that the land veins of this place have been exhausted." It looks good from the outside, but it’s actually too rustic underneath. They didn’t believe it. They dug it up in the early spring of this year, and it turned out that the bottom seven feet was covered with sand and water gushed out. This time it was recommended by Mr. Wu, and I went to choose a geomantic place for the emperor— ——I heard that Mr. Sidao has returned to Henan, please come out and meet me!" Tian Wenjing smiled bitterly, and sighed: "I don't know where I went. Qiaoshan, my water is too shallow to support Wu Mr. is such a great talent. If I change someone, I will never, and I dare not say such a thing, this governor is really useless!" Gao Qizhuo smiled and said: "I know the pain in your heart. The emperor asked I came to see you, and it was approved on my secret papers. Even your papers were transferred to me for reading.”

Tian Wenjing opened his eyes wide, staring at Gao Qizhuo suspiciously. "Li Wei is in a better situation than you. To clear up the deficit, he saved a group of officials. Ershan was so tired that he couldn't live, and he didn't find out that there was a deficit in Jiangsu." Gao Qizhuo said with eyes: "In fact, he already has another Confidentially, he reported the situation of Jiangnan’s deficit to the emperor. He stood firm, and then returned the consumption and envy to the public. Unlike you, as soon as you took office, you made Henan’s officialdom run wild. You don’t want to avoid resentment, so you asked me to come and talk to you, he knows your difficulties.” Tian Wenjing’s eyes flashed, and he asked, “Did the emperor say what you just said, or brother Qiaoshan’s speculation?” Gao Qizhuo said solemnly: "The emperor himself was a lone minister at the beginning. Not only was he out of line with other ministers, but even compared with the eighth master, he was not as popular as him—Wen Jing, how dare I fabricate an imperial edict? But the emperor didn't call me To repeat the original words, I can only speak from this heart." He could only talk about this point, Tian Wenjing couldn't ask any more questions, he felt relieved, almost burst into tears, lowered his head just in a daze, and murmured: "The emperor knows that Tian Wenjing's heart is hard to die, I There is nothing else. I think about it carefully, the emperor is also a problem. But I don't understand, Che Ming belongs to the eighth prince, so it's fine if he can't move it. Why is General Nian Gengyao so protective? Like Hu Qiheng, really leave it to me Interrogation, his crime is not inferior to Nuo Min! These two people, one is in charge of money and food officials, and the other is in charge of judicial affairs. If they can't be brought down, what can I do in Henan? There is also Wu Sidao, who bears the name of a master, it is me Those who are 'hired' only take money and do nothing, and the masters in the yamen are all heartbroken! If it was really hired by me, I would have sent him back to Wuxi in his pack!" "Zhongcheng, if you really tell me to pack up and walk, I will return you one or two taels of money I took before!" Tian Wenjing and Gao Qizhuo spoke so intently that they didn't know when Wu Sidao had come in.Hearing this sentence, Tian Wenjing trembled in shock, turned around and saw Wu Sidao standing by the door with crutches on his back, he couldn't help blushing, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.Gao Qizhuo was also extremely embarrassed, but he was a spiritual person, so he hurriedly got up and came over, helped Wu Sidao to sit himself, and said with a smile: "The ground in Henan is evil, saying that Cao Cao is here! Tian Zhongcheng just kicked you, didn't you, Ke Ke, you just come in , if you speak later, maybe I will send your private message too! I am from Li Wei, and I am asking you how is your husband, Tweety and your two wives are getting along well, and I will take care of everything Sir, please don't worry about it—Tian Zhongcheng is bored, there is no place to vent his complaints, and he has acquaintances all over the world. How many people are there? Don't take it to heart..." "I'm telling the truth," Wu Sidao said sincerely, "I'm really not a good master if I only take money and don't do anything." With gloomy eyes, he paced a few steps, and said slowly, "Today Qizhuo is a witness, I am indeed a friend of Emperor Yongzheng today. I was a counselor in Yongzheng’s mansion for more than ten years, until the emperor ascended the throne. He originally said that I was ordered to enter the study. That’s what I am. Gao Qizhuo, you and Li Wei are friends. County magistrate, you are a master, you know my details, is what I said true?" Tian Wenjing's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Only then did he understand the deep meaning of Yongzheng's "Mr. Wu's greetings". He thought that Wu Sidao was just a celebrity who took advantage of the prince's mansion in the capital. Unexpectedly, he really had such a deep relationship with the emperor!Gao Qizhuo had already stood up, bowed himself to say yes, and said to the astonished Tian Wenjing: "Everything Mr. Wu said is true. The emperor actually treats him like a teacher in the mansion. Li Wei can do it when he sees Mr. Wu." Slave ceremony, that is, the three elder brothers in front of the emperor, they all call Mr. "Shi Bo"..." Wu Sidao waved his hand to stop Gao Qizhuo's introduction, and said calmly: "I don't dare to be the emperor's teacher. If Wen Jing really hated me, I would never say such a thing today. Great hermits are hidden in the court, hidden in the city, and small hidden in the wild. Back then Farewell, the emperor said that I 'neither want to hide from you, nor allow you to hide from me', I hide from you, but you are raising me on behalf of the emperor, do you understand - I am 'hiding' in front of you, How dare you chase fame and fortune like other masters?" He stared at the ceiling, as if he couldn't help but sigh, and murmured: "Actually, it is the most difficult to hold the middle, and the master said that the mean is the virtue, and it is so perfect... Wen Jing My lord...I really want to go back, go back to Wuxi. The mountains, the water, the plums, the snow...there is no sacred order, you can't let it be you and I can't let it be me..." As they spoke, the two lines shed tears. "Mr. Wu, those who don't know are not guilty. Forgive Wenjing for being rude." Seeing his emotion, Tian Wenjing couldn't help but express emotion, "The emperor treats you as a scholar, and I treat you as a 'master', which shows my heart. But my difficulty You saw it too." He lowered his head, stroked his thinning hair with his hands, sighed deeply, and was about to express his grievances when Zhu Xigui came in in a hurry. Are you ready?" Zhu Xigui saluted the three of them locally, and replied with a smile, "Master Hu and Mr. Che are not in the Yamen. It is said that General Nian passed through Zhengzhou, and they all went to pay their respects yesterday." Tian Wenjing was taken aback for a moment. He knew that Nian Gengyao was passing through the border, and the Ministry of Rites sent a message ten days before, ordering the officials of the provinces along the way to welcome the entry and exit matters with duke ceremonies. He only informed the second government of Zhengzhou, Zhangde, about the matter in an urgent manner, and sent a medical notice to Nian Gengyao to settle the matter.Today I invited Hu and Che to have a drink. I originally wanted to invite them to pay respects to Nian, but they didn't even say hello and went straight away!Tian Wenjing laughed dryly, and said, "Well! Henan is such a world now—if that's the case, just the three of us, and invite Old Master Wu and the others to come over, and we'll be happy! I don't want to offend General Nian, but I also I don't really want to treat him as my master!" Tian Wenjing suddenly had a thought, put such a strong backer as Wu Sidao, not only didn't use it, but tried to drive him away again and again, it was really stupid!Thinking of a burst of excitement, his face glowed red, and he urged the seat again and again, and gave way: "Brother Gao, please! You will stay here for a few days, and I will personally settle the case of Chao Liu for you." Look, since you are proficient in geomantic occupancy, let's take a look at the general situation of the governor's yamen - since I took office, I haven't had a day of comfort, let's see which Tai Sui it is? Mr. Wu, please! Today is my apology. You are a broad-minded man, and you will be able to drink wine to relieve your regrets!" "I have won my lord's heart, and I dare not take my apology," Wu Sidao smiled slightly, and said, "I have always had a limited capacity for alcohol, and I don't want to mess with Wu Fengge and the others. It's fine if you have Qi Zhuo to accompany you, I will go back to my study .” Then he put on his crutches and walked away.Tian Wenjing hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile: "Then we won't call Wu Fengge and others. The three of us have a casual chat, and listening to Qizhuo talk about Fengshui knowledge is also a matter of elegance!" Gao Qizhuo was scratched by Tian Wenjing , and didn't want to let Wu Sidao go, so he came over to mix with Wu Sidao, and said with a smile: "I remember seeing you for the first time in Chengdu, Mr. Li Wei is the two hundred and five county magistrate, and I am the two hundred and five master! I will send you a letter to Beijing, and I will ride Li Wei's thousand-mile horse. , Five days and three thousand miles! —— I am your swan goose messenger, and we will meet again after a long absence. You don’t want to eat wine, and you don’t want to show off your face——An outsider doesn’t call, let’s talk in detail... Otherwise, go to Beijing, long live Prince Yi Asking about it, Qi Zhuo's face is not good!" The two persuaded them for a long time, and then Wu Sidao sat down helplessly. Che Ming and Hu Qiheng left Tian Wenjing and went to Zhengzhou to meet Nian Gengyao. They wanted to sue Nian Gengyao privately, and use Nian Gengyao's force to squeeze out this troublesome governor in one fell swoop.When I arrived in Zhengzhou, I found out that apart from Governor Tian Wenjing of this province, the governors of nearby provinces such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, and Anhui all came to have fun. The governor of Gansu also sent two sons to pick up Nian Gengyao because of the long journey.If Tian Wenjing didn't come, he would be very conspicuous.Zhengzhou's government office, post house, reception hall and larger shops are all hired by officials from various provinces, and they take turns to entertain them day and night. People like Che Ming and Hu Qiheng cannot have a long talk alone.Thinking about General Nian and Liu Molin who never leaves him, it is difficult to speak freely even if he is self-conscious.The two of them had given up their delusions. On the day Gengyao left Zheng in the second year of June, the Lieutenant of the Chinese Army sent him the famous assassin of the year, and invited Hu Che and the two of them to the general's office to talk.The two looked at the famous thorn, which was made of large bamboo, twice as long as the roof tile, polished so smooth that it couldn't hold hands, and it wrote: Nian Dun, the first-class public, who was ordered to conquer Fuyuan in the west, bowed his head It is so heavy that I am afraid it will be heavy. I don't know how many times I have used it. It seems that no one has dared to accept it. "Reply to the general, I don't dare to be a famous thorn." Seeing that Hu Qiheng was in a daze, Che Ming returned the famous thorn with a smile, and said, "Go to have an audience with the humble post immediately after changing clothes." Then he took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to the military academy. "A glass of wine is not a respect, please accept it." The military academy went by itself. Hu Qiheng's car inscription didn't stop for a moment, he changed into his official uniform, took his notebook and lifted up the sedan chair, heading straight for the Temple of the City God, where Nian Gengyao lived.From a distance, you can see that the spacious city god's temple entrance is full of official sedan chairs, bright sedan chairs, and pack sedan chairs of various colors along the roadside, covering a distance of half a mile.Quite a few officials and servants were waiting to be seen, sitting on stone benches under a row of big willow trees outside the temple, eating melons, drinking water, playing fans to enjoy the cool, and setting up a dragon gate array waiting to be received.Hu Qiheng and Che Ming couldn't help but glance at each other: When will we be able to meet the general?Just as he was in a daze, the military academy that sent the famous thorn came out, and waved from a distance: "My lords—General Nian invites you to go in first!" Immediately, admiring and puzzled eyes were drawn, looking directly at Hu Qiheng and Che Ming Swing it in. "I've wanted to see you for a long time." Nian Gengyao stood in front of the dripping eaves in front of the Xipei Hall, with a pleasant smile on his face. Seeing Hu Qiheng and the two of them handing over the notebook and saying hello, he quickly helped him with his hands, and said: "You old Hu and I are still here! I have always wondered, since I came to Henan, why didn't I see the landlord? The former son Zhangde Mansion transferred the documents, and only then did I know that Tian Zhongcheng was not in good health. I went to Beijing and he was 'busy', and I went out of Beijing. He's 'sick', that's called no fate—come, please come in!" Nian Gengyao's words were hidden, but he said it in a very easy-going manner.Because of the hot weather, he only wore a crimson gauze gown with a black belt tied around his waist. His gray braids were casually coiled on the top, and he gently shook them behind his head with his hands. He said at the same time that he brought the two of them in. Che Ming and Nian Gengyao were not familiar with each other, so he followed them in carefully, and saw two officials, one old and one young, sitting beside the long file inside.The old man was in his sixties and had all gray hair, while the young man was less than thirty, with a refined appearance, and was sitting in the bright place by the window with a book in his hand.Hu Qiheng took a step forward and greeted the old man: "Sang Junmen, how are you! The first time the general came to Beijing, I thought you must follow, but I didn't know that you didn't come. Thinking that I won't see you this time, you It happened again, and I didn't bring the two catties of old wild ginseng I prepared for you, isn't it a coincidence?" Seeing Che Ming's blank face, Nian Gengyao said with a smile, "Let me introduce: It's Sang Chengding, my Chinese Army Counselor, and also my baby brother when I was a child; this one can be known as soon as I say it, the new Xizheng Army Food Road, the Counselor Liu Molin, the Tanhualang of Yongzheng's head Kai Enke—this is Henan Chief Minister Hu Qiheng, Lao Sang, remember, when I went to Beijing for an examination, I was ill in Hujiawan. Mr. Hu was good at medicine and saved my life! This is the pride of Wang Hongxu, Che Ming, the vassal here Senior!" The four of them hurriedly exchanged greetings.Liu Molin heard that Che Ming was Wang Hongxu's disciple, that is, the "Eight Lord Party", a spark flashed in his eyes, then he calmed down, and he cupped his hands and said, "I've been looking up to the mountain for a long time! Brother Hu and Brother Che are old seniors!" Che Ming laughed hurriedly Said: "Very old senior, outdated ears!" Looking at Liu Molin's book on the desk, he said: "Your Excellency is reading Xu Jiaju's poetry collection, which shows the elegance. Mr. Xu's poems can be said to be unique in the world. I was given a copy of the annual magazine last year, and it is always on my desk." Liu Molin said with a smile, "This poem is indeed of extraordinary style, and I have been reading and studying it all the way. There are already "Foolish Mountain Poetry Talk" and "Yuyang Poetry Talk", and I might write a "Molin Poetry Talk" as well!" After all, they are literati, and they talk about speculation when they meet.Nian Gengyao ordered people to bring watermelon, cut it open and handed it out to everyone, took a bite, spat out the seeds and said with a smile: "Mr. Poetry is like building a house, only when all the bricks, tiles, wood and stones are ready are ready to be written - I read it, it is actually very meaningful and profound, I had a relationship with Yu Shan once, but unfortunately I was too young to learn, what does he mean by this." Liu Molin smiled lightly and said, "This is probably similar to the meaning of sudden enlightenment in Zen Buddhism." Nian Gengyao nodded with a smile, then turned to Hu Qiheng and said, "Tell me about your situation here. I heard that there is some discord in the Sansi Yamen in Henan. What's the matter? Originally, I didn't want to ask about these things, but the emperor repeatedly called me to "watch the wind", and Zhezi Zhu asked me three questions, so it's hard to explain. It's just a one-sided speech. You can talk to us. How to deal with it is up to the emperor. Bylaw." Both Hu Qiheng and Che Ming's eyes lit up. They came to see him privately, in order to let the beloved general hear his plight, to suppress Tian Wenjing's arrogance with the power of the general, or even to recite the present day in secret. Remove this capstone.But there is also Liu Molin here, but I don't know what his background is. If I make a mistake, it's better not to say it.Hu Qiheng murmured for a moment and then looked at Che Ming, who was an old Jinshi in the forty-two years of Kangxi. His official career was ups and downs for decades, and the price of loach was slipping. If there are any omissions, I'll just fill them in." Hu Qiheng didn't look forward and backward, how he arbitrarily bullied his colleagues when he took Tian Wenjing, how he borrowed treasury money without permission, how he extorted officials to plan river labor donations, and how he was implicated by Chao Liu's case In the officialdom, the run on the second division of the vassal ranks... and detailed one by one: "Officials from the province, except for one Zhang Qiu, Tian Zhongcheng actually wants to catch them all! Who is Zhang Qiu? I know it in my heart. He was originally a scoundrel in Acheng, Shandong. , the common name is 'Zhang Da Pants', who eats white food in teahouses and restaurants, first defected to Da Qiantui as a long-term follower, and then released him as the magistrate of Guide County. Da Qiantui's bad deeds, he fell into trouble again, and changed to Prince Lian. I am also not proud, thinking that Tian Wenjing was selected by Zhang Xiang, and he has done things with the thirteenth master, so he went to Tian Wenjing again. Such a shameless thing, but Tian Wenjing loves it! He took the lead in "losing" for dozens of times. Wanhe Gongyinzi? He made money out of nowhere. I have the account here. When I mentioned it last time, Tian Wenjing wanted to take me out. I can’t tell when the time comes. When the time comes, I’ll shake it off, and no one can stop me!" Hu Qiheng said more and more I was so angry that the muscles in my neck were all swollen, and my face was flushed, "He is really a single husband now, and even his masters went to see me secretly, saying that they 'the boss is fainted'. Che Ming, I Are you telling lies?" "The chief said these things, some of which I have heard, and some of which I have witnessed." Che Ming waited for him to finish speaking, and made up his mind. , there are more than 20 people still detained in the governor's yamen! Chao Liu filed a complaint, and I have already filed a case there, so she didn't sue herself! Her son was lost, and the Kaifeng mansion came back. We asked the plaintiff to go to the yamen for inquiries This is what should be in the title of the Qing law. Futai actually set up an ambush in her house, even locked up all my law enforcement officers, and arbitrarily dismissed Hu Fangbo and me, meaning to spread the news that the officials and those It’s right to be an obscene monk and nun! Isn’t this a respectable and disrespectful thing? Isn’t this against the law! For example, Tian Zhongcheng’s masters, Yao Jie, Zhang Yuncheng, and Wu Fengge, all shut down their lives in front of my famous criminal master. Can the lawsuit be deduced based on this reason, that it is inconvenient for Tian Zhongcheng to come forward and sell his life?" He said a few words in a concise and concise manner, and he stopped talking when he leaned back, Liu Molin said suspiciously: "Although I am not familiar with Tian Wenjing, You can be considered acquaintances, if what you say is true, it is really shocking. Although he is not a straight man, he is also a scholar, and Henan is not far away from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and the emperor, how dare he act like this? What is he trying to do?" "That's it, Master Liu's lesson!" Encouraged, Che Ming's face lit up, and he said, "Tian Zhongcheng is called cruel, and he is eager to collect money to ask for favors, so he uses the provincial officials to do whatever he wants! He's got it!" Money tuberculosis'!" Hu Qiheng added coldly: "It's not so much 'money tuberculosis', it's better to say 'official tuberculosis'." Liu Molin couldn't help laughing, and said: "In the past, Cang Jie created characters and made ghosts cry, and Zhou Jing made money ghosts laughed; A ghost who loves money because of illiteracy, but now a literate 'official tuberculosis' who loves money must be a ghost!" As soon as the words fell, the four people laughed brightly, and even Sang Chengding, who was standing aside and listening solemnly, couldn't help but smile.Nian Gengyao has been listening very carefully. He heard Yongzheng praise Tian Wenjing several times when he came to Beijing this time, and he also learned from Prince Yi that Wu Sidao was also in Tian Wenjing's curtain.No matter how much grievance Hu Qiheng and Che Ming feel, Hetian Wenjing's blatant quarrel is unacceptable.Smiling with everyone, Nian Gengyao breathed a sigh of relief, got up and took a few steps, and said slowly: "Speaking is all talking and laughing. Tian Wenjing is serious about things, this one is impossible. Nowadays, there are too few officials in the world who are willing to do things seriously. Now, what the emperor values ​​is his strengths. According to what you two brothers said, I listened carefully, and he was deceived by villains. He himself is quite honest and upright. This time I went to Beijing to protect Qi Hengyi Ben, Mr. Che, the officials told me that they will probably be transferred to Henan. Now that you and Wenjing are like this, I think it’s better to leave. You are suffering. Let me tell you. Tian Wenjing, not only can't do it, but also can't do it, even if it's just a one-sided remark, I still want to play it in tactfully, the emperor's holy candle shines, wait and see, okay?" Hu Qiheng Jishou thanked, and said: "This is the kindness of Dajunmen. This is the love of Dajunmen! I don’t want to stay in this place in Henan for a day, and I can’t stand it for a moment—I don’t know where to transfer us?” "Brother Che leveled Huguang." Nian Gengyao said flatly, "You, about to go to Sichuan to serve as the governor - I can't say for sure, the emperor will have a decree soon, and he will know it when he introduces it." Che Ming Unlike Hu Qiheng's family, they usually have a lot of grievances, but because of Tian Wenjing's oppressive power, the two were squeezed together.Now that Hu Qiheng was promoted to the governor of Sichuan in the Land of Abundance, but he himself threatened to go to Wuhan, he couldn't help but feel sour, but his face refused to show it. He just leaned on the chair and said coldly: "Be more responsible for the care of the army! If the big husbands get together, we will get together. If you don't agree, you will be separated. It is my wish to leave Henan. However, the stone can be cracked and cannot be rolled, but this insult to the car inscription is not acceptable. The day I went to get Chao Liu's family, it was the son of Hu Fan who went to the Niesi Yamen I'm afraid I need to ask Dajunmen and Master Hu to be considerate!" Nian Gengyao seemed a little surprised, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course! I'll just write a letter. Ask Tian Wenjing to release him!" After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to take a pen and paper , Without thinking about it, Sang Chengding took out the seal to increase the defense. Liu Molin stood up with a smile, and when he took the paper to read, he only said a short sentence: In the year of the Great General, Tian Wenjing, the governor of Zier Henan Province: It was Liu's case that detained the judiciary yamen for human service. "The general has a good handwriting!" Liu Molin smiled, "However, there may be differences in the style of using military orders to do civil affairs?" "It doesn't matter." Nian Gengyao glanced at Liu Molin, and said darkly, "I control the military affairs of eleven provinces, and the governor of Henan is also in charge of the military affairs of Henan Province, and he is still under my command. Cheng Ding, use the seal, and give it to Qi Heng to take it back. "After finishing speaking, he glanced at Liu Molin again, the meaning couldn't be more clear: I'm going to push your nails, how about you? Liu Molin waved his fan easily, and had already taken Xu Jun's poem, so he really didn't care.Nian Gengyao suddenly remembered what Yongzheng told him to "do all the military affairs well, and don't care about other things—" Until now, he didn't understand the deep meaning of these words, and he couldn't help but suddenly feel uneasy.
