Chapter 2152 Flower Controversy (Sixty)

In addition to Minister Kulun, there is also General Uliasutai in the Mobei area who governs the four Mongolian tribes of Khalkha, and the Khalkha Zuoyi Banner is located in Kulun.

The residence of General Uliasutai was in Uliasutai. The purpose of setting up General Uliasutai was to suppress the Zhungeer rebellion. After the appointment of Minister Kulun, his jurisdiction became west of Kulun.The name of the first Uliasutai general was Tseleng. He was the No.18 grandson of Genghis Khan. He was canonized as the Prince of Chaoyong because of his bravery in battle. He was stationed in Mobei until his death, and played an important role in the tranquility of the northern border. effect.

The descendants of Tseleng were adopted by the inner court and became scholars who understood Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese. Although his three sons served as generals of Uliasutai one after another, none of them served for a long time, and the latter were other Mongolian princes. In 1780, Qianlong, it became a Manchurian.

The son of heaven enjoys all the sacred privileges, which can be appreciated from titles such as "Long Live Lord".For the emperor, whether it is rewarding privileges or depriving them of privileges, he must be at his disposal. All the financial resources and income of the country are in the hands of the emperor, as if it is his private property, because in principle, the entire country belongs to the emperor. The emperor's, "the whole world is the king's land".

Freedom was a completely unfamiliar concept in the Qing Dynasty. Officials in the Forbidden City even felt honored to be "given" to walk in a certain place. It was very "forbidden" for Macartney to walk in the Old Summer Palace, although the Old Summer Palace It is indeed a garden, but no matter how much the Western Pavilion looks like Europe, it is still not Europe.

It is very difficult for Yunduan Dorji to "inherit his father's business" on his own. Fortunately, he has a good "mother-in-law"——Zhengjun Wang Yongrong who inherited the title of his aunt and father. The emperor's own son, and also the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, tribute and wool from the Mongolian tribute must be transported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Juren and Heshen took the imperial examination in the same year, and they both failed in Sunshan. Now he is the same Minister of Internal Affairs as Yongrong.He is indeed young and promising, and has supervised several cases.The confessions of the domestic slaves became ironclad evidence of Li Shiyao's guilt. Next, Heshen began to interrogate the officials who bribed Li Shiyao according to the list provided by Haining. The subordinates did not dare to offend Li Shiyao, so they had to pay.

The iron evidence is that Li Shiyao at the foot of the mountain can only confess that he received a total of 1000 taels of silver, and the governor’s money for maintaining integrity is 2 taels a year. According to the law revised by Yongzheng, corruption exceeding 1000 taels is the death penalty, and Li Shiyao’s confession will almost certainly be beheaded. punished.

Although He Shen handled the case beautifully, it may not be in line with Qianlong's wishes.

First, Li Shiyao worked very hard in paying tribute. Qianlong was strict with himself in the early days of his accession to the throne, but later he liked extravagance. Li Shiyao did it to "follow what he likes".

Second, his 1780th birthday is approaching. According to the customs of the Central Plains, "men do nine and women do ten." In 69, Qianlong was [-] years old, and the Panchen Lama would go to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.In the first month of this year, he took the princes, Mongolian and Taiji people to Jiangnan for the fifth time, went to Shandong and Henan, and exempted the local taxes. , He Shen is a very smart person, why can't he figure it out?

Maybe he was red-eyed, after all, at this point, he and Li Shiyao can only live as one.The reason why Haining discusses "membership money" is also because of Qianlong's big birthday, the emperor's birthday, Yunnan's "following member" gold 200 taels, how much will the capital give?

Anyway, Li Shiyao sentenced him to death, and He Shen really wanted to sentence him to death.

Li Shiyao knew that if he did not appeal, he might not escape death. Fortunately, he would clear up the relationship on weekdays, and asked the emperor's "familiarity" to send a message, suggesting that the emperor use the "Jiuqing Joint Trial" to try his case.

The joint trial of Jiuqing began in the Ming Dynasty. "Three Dukes and Jiuqing" were just a very honorable empty position. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, they no longer held real power. The Tongzheng Envoy and the six ministers jointly tried it, and finally it was approved by the emperor as a judicial system for major cases and second-instance retraction cases.

If you were one of the nine ministers, how would you handle this case?
Li Shiyao is old, and He Shen is very young, and he looks like he is going to replace Li Shiyao, not to mention that Li Shiyao's crimes are conclusive, and it seems that they are not fair enough not to sentence him to death.

The academicians cited the execution of Eshan, the governor of nine schools in the fifth year of Qianlong, who took 1000 bribes, and the former governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Hengwen, and the governor of Guizhou, Liangqing.

How to judge depends on how Qianlong celebrated his [-]th birthday.

Qianlong was born in 1711, and his mother, Empress Xiaoshengxian, was born in 1692. The age difference between the two is nearly 20 years. Qianlong's 80th birthday happened to be the [-]th birthday of Empress Xiaoshengxian.

In order to celebrate his 60th birthday and his mother's longevity, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported to build the statue of Buddha of Infinite Life. After Qianlong agreed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs established a Buddha Building Office, and collected local money to cast the statue of Buddha of Infinite Life.

Ordinary people may think that building a Buddha statue, even if it is pure gold, does not cost much.

If the Buddha of Infinite Life is to be built, it must be built in multiples of nine, such as nine, 99, one hundred and eight, one thousand and eight, etc. The empress dowager was frugal on her birthday all her life, and Qianlong was the most filial person. In 35, just when he was 60 years old, he built a building in Beihai to enshrine ten thousand Buddhas of Infinite Life. There was a "Ten Thousand Buddhas Court", and the newly built building was called Wanfo Building.

At that time, although Li Shiyao was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he participated in the Qing-Myanmar War. The minister originally announced the call, but he sent people to order the leaders of Siam to spy on Burma's intelligence, and captured the Burmese king alive to offer him prisoners.

Let’s not offer living people, but two Siamese Buddha statues. Three years later, Li Shiyao was promoted to the University of Martial Arts Hall, and he still stayed in Guangdong and Guangxi as the governor.

Qianlong celebrated his [-]th birthday this time. Although the empress dowager is no longer around, it does not affect him to build temples.Even in the prosperous age, cutting corners was inevitable when building palaces, and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty even made a lot of money when supervising buildings.

In the 44th year of Qianlong, when Qianlong was in Rehe, the sixth Panchen Lama sent an envoy to present a watch to celebrate his birthday.

It is a long journey from RKZ to Rehe. Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo in the past, and Songtsen Gampo built the Potala Palace. This time, the Panchen Lama will also build a place for him to live during his visit.

All buildings are built in French style, and no one in the cabinet knows Tibetan-style architecture, including Liu Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so Qianlong thought of Heshen.

At that time, He Shen was in BJ and spent two days and two nights rushing to Rehe. Qianlong gave him the task of repairing the residence of the Sixth Panchen Lama.

Rehe already had a building imitating the Potala Palace. He Shen made inquiries and decided to imitate the Tashilhunpo Monastery in RKZ to build a new temple. Qianlong gave it a new name, Xumi Fushou Temple.

Because of the above reasons, even though Li Shiyao was sentenced to death in the second trial, Qianlong still prepared a third trial for him. This time he ordered the local governors to express their opinions.

When He Shen broke the news, Qianlong was on a tour to the south. At that time, Fu Lehun, the governor of Huguang, picked him up. He helped Li Shiyao speak well.

Few people know about this, but the "experts" around Qianlong know that if they don't clear them up, they can "enlighten" by themselves like AH Governor Min Eyuan.It's just that this time the imperial decree is more difficult to guess than the poems posted in the Juren Examination, including Fu Lehun who once "guessed the question correctly". Like most places, he supports the sentence of Li Shiyao's execution.

With Min Eyuan's notes, Qianlong found a breakthrough. Based on this note, he announced that he had received the test books from various provinces. Considering that someone asked for Li Shiyao's pardon, he did not make a judgment for the time being and waited until next year for trial.

However, next year, the prison donation case broke out in Gansu, and there was also the fraud case in Shandong. Li Shiyao's crime was much lighter in comparison. Qianlong released Li Shiyao soon and sent him to Gansu to handle military affairs.

Soon the governor of Gansu Le Erjin died, and Li Shiyao took his place and became the governor of Gansu.

In fact, there were private schools and western teachers in the county palace, but the palace at that time was not short of teachers.

The Qianlong Banquet held when Emperor Kangxi was 69 years old, Qianlong did not hold it at the age of 69, and the 50th year of Qianlong is also an "anniversary". The Ministry of Internal Affairs can hold a Qianlong Banquet.

At that time, collecting delicacies from mountains and seas will be indispensable, especially those from outside the Great Wall. If you catch rare and exotic animals, you can also offer them as congratulatory gifts. As for how much waste this will cause and how much people will be searched for, it is really not something that Juren can consider at that time.

If he doesn't find a way for this Mongolian son-in-law, he will lose his job and starve himself. Moreover, Kulun is a big monastery, and it is also a big monastery of Tibetan Buddhism. It is worthwhile for the Panchen Lama to go this time for the benefit of the Tibetans.

There are beasts in the mountains of Qingqiu, whose shape is like a fox with nine tails, and its sound is like that of a baby.

This time the king of the county really wanted to take Juren away, but Uliasutai was a place of exile, and Heshen's son Fengshen Yinde was there, and Juren planned to stay in the capital.

It's just that it's not so easy to stay in the capital. Juren returned to his hometown after failing the imperial examination again. It doesn't matter that the county king is in the south.

When He Zhongtang was in full swing, Ju Ren didn't go to visit him, even though he and Yong Rong were both ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

How does he introduce himself?He Zhongtang, do you still remember?In the imperial examination in the year of Wuzi, the year you lost your name to Sun Shan, you and I were in the same class.

Then he went to the house where Nick was confined, drinking and "talking in the vernacular".

Fate is useless, long relatives are despicable.

The humble, the noble, the widow, and the sinner will all become stories in other people's plays in the end.

Nalan Xingde said: I am a melancholy guest in the world, and I know what is going on with you.

What about laughing?Will he understand?
