Dressed as Su Peisheng

The first year of Yongzheng

March 28

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the three young elder brothers lived in the No. [-] house in Gandong where their Ama used to live, while the two young Gege lived in No. [-] house in Ganxi.There is also a courtyard for each person. Compared with the time of the first emperor, the place is much more spacious.

Mo Yaqi asked someone to set up a swing under the eaves of the backyard. There are many flowers and plants in the yard. When the weather is good, he is willing to sit here and look at the sky and the clouds.

Bao Shenghou was waiting on the porch, and the eunuch Fu An led the people to lock the rewarded items into the warehouse, and walked over quietly.

"What's wrong with Ge Ge these days? I don't study anymore, and I don't go to the harem with Er Gege anymore. I always sit here in a daze."

Baosheng glanced at Fu'an, and elbowed him, "Ge Ge is upset, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Have you registered all the rewards from Long Live God? Don't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, I remember everything properly. Besides, the things are sent by Eunuch Su, so there will be no mistakes."

Fuan was also the old man who served Da Gege in the palace, and now he is also the chief eunuch of this yard, and his work is very reliable

Baosheng nodded, looked at Da Gege who was still in a daze, sighed softly, picked up the hot tea, and walked to the swing.

"Master, why don't you use some tea, your body should be cold after sitting outside for a long time."

Mo Yaqi slowly lowered her eyes and smiled gently, "It's okay, there's no wind today, and I'm wearing thick clothes."

Baosheng closed the cloak for Mo Yaqi, and seeing her slowly drinking half a bowl of tea, he lowered his voice and said, "Master Li should be in Yunnan at this time of year, right?"

"It should have been here..."

Mo Yaqi lowered his head and held the tea bowl in his hands, "The mountains in Yunnan are high and the roads are far away, and the folk customs are tough. I wonder if he can adapt."

"Don't worry, Gege," Baosheng comforted in a soft voice, "Master Li's family is from a businessman, not a child from a pampered family in Beijing. He has traveled to many places in the past few years, so there will definitely be no problem. of."

Mo Yaqi lowered his eyes, the tea in the bowl was reflected in his eyes, swaying gently in the whiteness.

"Yeah, he'll be all right, I trust him."

"Speaking of it, it's also the Long Live Lord who relies heavily on it," Baosheng continued, "It was agreed to go to Zhili before, but before he took office, he changed the Yunnan Salt Post Road. Although Zhili is close to the capital, it is like Mr. Li. Such a Hanchen must go to some difficult places in order to make contributions."

Mo Yaqi raised his head, looked at Baosheng and smiled, "I heard Mr. Su said that Yunnan is involved in border affairs, and there are chieftains making troubles. Many local powers don't pay attention to the imperial court, and they are quite rascal. Huang Ama After much deliberation, I felt that I must repay him with his way, so I sent Li Wei there."

Bao Sheng also smiled, "That's right, Mr. Li is not a person who plays by the rules, and he might be the best at dealing with rascals."

On the first day of April, the Hall of Mental Cultivation

"Brother Huang, do you want to set up a few more Kalons to govern Tibet together?"

After reading the annotations of several memorials, Prince Yi understood what he was thinking about Lord Yongzheng.

"That's right, I'm afraid that sending ministers directly to Tibet will disturb the hearts of the people."

Lord Yongzheng sat behind the dragon case, took a tea bowl and moistened his throat, "There are five Kalons, headed by Kang Jinai, he is the son-in-law of Lazang Khan. This time in Pingzang, he strongly opposed Junggar and has been sticking to Ali. It has also done a lot of credit for my Qing Dynasty."

"Brother Huang is thoughtful, Kang Jinai is a person worthy of entrustment." Prince Yi nodded, and then frowned again, "However, his status among Tibetan nobles is not as good as that of Arbor and others, so he hastily made him the leader , I don’t know the future..."

Before Prince Yi finished speaking, Lord Yongzheng put down the tea bowl and looked up at him.

Blessed to the heart, Prince Yi thought it over in an instant, "So that's the case, the imperial brother is far-sighted, and the younger brother doesn't have to worry about it blindly."

Master Yongzheng curled the corner of his mouth, and picked up the memorial on the side.

Prince Yi also brought a bowl of tea to drink, and there was a brief moment of silence in the warm pavilion.

After another memorial was approved, Prince Yi over there also put down his teacup, "Now that things are in peace in Tibet and the Galon has been set up, it's time to reward the two armies who entered Tibet for their merits."

The cinnabar pen in Master Yongzheng's hand was hanging on the table and remained unmoved for a long time.

"Don't be in a hurry for now, I still have something to think about..."

"Your brother knows what the emperor is thinking about," Prince Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's not talk about the fourteenth, this time Pingzang, Qinghai Taiji also contributed. Especially, Luo Buzang Danjin!"

The cinnabar pen was placed on the pen stand, and Lord Yongzheng raised his head, "I have decided to make Chahan Erdanjin the prince and Erdeni the county king. Co-leader of Chahaner Danzin."

Prince Yi was a little surprised, thought for a while and asked, "Brother Huang, do you think that Chahaner Danjin can curb Luo Buzang Danjin's ambition?"

Lord Yongzheng shook his head and stood up from behind the dragon case, "Sooner or later there will be a war in Qinghai, I know that. Right now, what I need is time..."

"This……"

Prince Yi also hesitated. After thinking and thinking, he walked slowly to Lord Yongzheng, "Whether it's Yunti or Nian Gengyao, Brother Huang must think twice."

Qianqing Palace on the seventh day of April

In the early morning, the hall was unusually quiet. Almost all the courtiers shrunk their necks and lowered their heads. The atmosphere was very different from that of the late emperor.

On the dragon chair, Yongzheng with a gloomy expression was holding a memorial in his hand.

Huang Bingzuo, the new governor of Shandong Province, said that the former governor Li Shude had a deficit of more than [-] to [-] yuan in silver during his six-year tenure. , Harassing the people.

"Such a variety, what do you think?"

The court asked questions, but none of the courtiers dared to answer.

"There are many deficits in money and food in each province. I already knew it when I was in the residence. I think that there are no more than three reasons for the deficit, namely, people's debts, official invasion, and official erosion. People's debts are mostly due to natural disasters and wars. The court can also Forgive me. Executives blackmail, officials corrupt, the same category, the collapse of official governance!"

The officials were silent, and needles could be heard in the hall.

"In the past, the Holy Patriarch was so good at knowing the heavens that he couldn't bear to punish the corrupt officials, so that some people were fearless and wanted to lose money! I am well aware of this evil, and should have thoroughly investigated it immediately and punished it severely, but it has become a long-standing habit. Leniency."

The person on the dragon chair slowly stood up.

"Starting today, except for Shaanxi Province, the governors of all provinces will strictly inspect the money and grain belonging to them for a period of three years. If there is any deficit, no matter whether it has been paid out or not, it will be made up within three years... ..."

There was finally a turmoil among the courtiers. Under the low official hat, you looked at me and you, some couldn't bear it, and they had already started whispering.

"If you can't make up the limit, you will be punished severely! During the inspection, if there are governors who indulge in selfishness, you will be punished together! After three years, if there is any deficit, you will never be lenient!"

"This--"

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the courtiers immediately talked about it.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is inappropriate..."

"Your Majesty, only a lenient government can reassure people's hearts, and the ministers cannot second the proposal..."

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

In the main hall, one after another knelt down, each one confessed their own freedom, for the sake of the country and the community, wishing to throw their bodies against the pillars to prove their loyalty.

Yun Xiang stood in front of the group of officials, at this moment, like him, less than half of the people in the hall insisted that no one kneeled down.

However, the figure standing high in front of the dragon chair did not flinch.

The oracle has been issued, and it is thunderous, and it cannot be changed!

"The ministers kneel down and retreat—"

Walking out of Qianqing Palace, Lord Yongzheng took great strides, very fast.

The most majestic but also the most spacious palace in the Forbidden City does not belong to him.

Back at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin who were following behind fell far away, not daring to say a word.

Master Yongzheng walked quickly into the East Nuan Pavilion, then backed out quickly, and continued to walk towards the apse.

Before entering the door of the apse, there was a sudden scream in the hall.

"Who moved my money?!!"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and stayed where they were.

Master Yongzheng slowed down and stepped into the door.

In the sleeping hall, Eunuch Su was holding his precious wooden box, and was frantically counting the silver bills inside.

"It must be Xiaoyingzi, that bastard! One who didn't catch him dared to steal my money!"

"I took it," said the person who walked in, the frost had already melted from his body.

"You stole my silver!"

Grandpa Su didn't care who came, "I'm short of 300 taels, come here!"

"You are a rascal." Master Yongzheng walked slowly to the side of the soft couch and sat down, "I only took a piece of 50 taels, and gave it away as a gift."

Su Wei puffed up his cheeks, stared at the person on the couch for a while, then locked his own box again, hugged him and moved closer to him.

"Why did you go back to the apse directly today? Didn't you just come down to court, don't you need to go to Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss matters?"

"Let's go later, I'm a little tired."

He said he was tired, but he sat upright without changing his dragon robe or taking off his boots.

Su Wei looked aside for a while, didn't ask any more questions, turned around and stuffed his treasure box into the closet, and found out a normal suit for his Long Live Lord.

Taking off boots and changing clothes, even though it's been a long time since anyone else has done this, Eunuch Su feels that he is still very proficient.

Although, he may be the only one who threw the changed dragon robe on the couch.

After fastening the last button, a pair of cold hands covered it.

Su Wei held those hands instead, and rubbed them carefully for a while, until the palms felt warm, until the person sitting upright on the side of the couch softened slowly.

"I'll give you a massage of the head."

"Um……"

Closing his eyes comfortably, Master Yongzheng slowly curled the corners of his mouth, enjoying this rare service.

"I'm telling you..."

"Ah."

After a while, Eunuch Su chattered from inside the palace to outside the palace, from the respect room to Jisheng Hall.

Master Yongzheng just listened like this, and he felt comfortable all over his body, as if everything that happened just now happened a long time ago.

"That's why I said, it's not worth being so angry about anything, if you get angry, it's not worth it..."

"Ah."

Master Yongzheng opened his eyes with a smile, and took Su Wei's hand, "I know everything, I remember everything."

Eunuch Su also laughed, "That's right, isn't it just a matter of owing money? It's only natural to pay back the debt! Don't worry, this is the case everywhere. Anyone who owes has to pay back."

Someone poked Lord Yongzheng's shoulder suddenly.

"Don't you think so, Lord Long Live?"

The person in front of him laughed like a flower, Yongzheng was stunned for a while, and silently rubbed the painful shoulder.

"50 taels..."

"300 taels!"

Undoubtedly, three fingers waved in front of his eyes.

Lord Yongzheng suddenly wanted to tell the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, "In this world, not everyone owes money like him!"
