   Chapter 2152 Flower dispute (sixty)

   In addition to Minister Kulun, in the Mobei area, there is also General Ulya Sutai who oversees the four Khalkha Mongolian tribes, and the Khalkha Left Wing Banner is located in Kulun.

   General Uryasutai was stationed in Uryasutai. The purpose of General Uryasutai was to suppress the Zhungar rebellion. After setting up Minister Kulun, his jurisdiction became west of Kulun. The first general of Wuliasutai was named Ce Leng. He was the eighteenth grandson of Genghis Khan. He was canonized as Prince Chaoyong because of his bravery in battle. He was stationed in Mobei until his death and played an important role in the peace of the northern border effect.

Celen's descendants were adopted by the inner court and became scholars who understood Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese. Although his three sons successively served as the generals of Wulia Sutai, they did not hold the post for a long time, and the latter were followed by other Mongolian princes. In 1780, Qianlong became Manchu.

  The Son of Heaven enjoys all the divine privileges, which can be realized from the titles such as "Long Live Lord". For the emperor, whether it is to grant or deprive privileges, he must control it alone, and all the financial resources and income of the country are in the hands of the emperor, as if it were his private property, because in principle, the whole country belongs to For the emperor, "the whole world is the king's land".

Freedom is a completely unfamiliar concept in the Qing Kingdom. The officials in the Forbidden City were even honored to be "given" to walk somewhere. It was very "prohibited" for them to walk in the Yuanmingyuan, although the Yuanmingyuan was very "prohibited". It was indeed a garden, but no matter how much the Western-style pavilion looked like Europe, it was still not Europe.

It is very difficult for Yunduan Dorji to "inherit his father's business" by himself. Fortunately, he has a good "mother-in-law" - Yongrong, the king of Zhijun, who inherited his father's title. He is not only Qianlong The emperor's own son, and also the Minister of Internal Affairs, the tribute and wool materials from Mongolia are all shipped to the Internal Affairs Office.

   Juren and Heshen passed the imperial examination in the same year, and both were named Luosunshan. Now he is the Minister of Internal Affairs like Yongrong. He is indeed young and promising, and has supervised several cases. The confessions of the slaves became iron evidence of Li Shiyao's guilt. Then Heshen began to interrogate the officials who bribed Li Shiyao according to the list provided by Haining. These officials explained that Li Shiyao often blackmailed his subordinates in the name of handling tribute for the court. The subordinates did not dare to offend Li Shiyao, so they could only pay.

Li Shiyao can only explain that he received a total of 31,000 taels of silver, and the governor's 20,000 taels of silver a year. According to the law revised by Yongzheng, embezzlement of more than 1,000 taels is a death sentence. The amount Li Shiyao confessed will almost certainly be executed. Sentenced to beheaded.

  He Shen did this case beautifully, but it did not necessarily meet Qianlong's wishes.

   First, Li Shiyao was particularly hardworking in paying tribute. Qianlong was strict with himself in the early days of his ascension, but later he liked extravagance. Li Shiyao wanted to "do what he likes".

  Second, his 70th birthday is approaching. According to the custom in the Central Plains, "Men do nine and women do ten". In 1780, when Qianlong was 69 years old, the Panchen Lama would go to Beijing to congratulate him on his birthday. In the first month of this year, he also took the princes and Mongolian Taiji to go to the south of the Yangtze River for the fifth time, and went to Shandong and Henan, exempting local taxes. At this time, if Heshen thought of killing people, it would be a "disaster of blood." , He Shen is a very smart person, why can't he understand it?

   Maybe he has red eyes, after all, at this point, he and Li Shiyao can only live one. The reason why Haining discussed "member money" is also because of Qianlong's birthday, the emperor's birthday, and the "suizi" gold 200 taels in Yunnan, how much does the capital give?

   Anyway, Li Shiyao tried to kill the prisoner in the first trial, and Heshen wanted to sentence him to be executed.

  Li Shiyao knew that if he didn't appeal, he might not escape death. Fortunately, he would clear up the relationship on weekdays, and asked the emperor's "manda" to pass the word, suggesting that the emperor should use the "Jiuqing Trial" to try his case.

The Trial of Jiuqing began in the Ming Dynasty. "Three Dukes and Jiuqings" was only a very honorable and virtual position. After Qin and Han Dynasty, they no longer held real power. In the Ming Dynasty, Jiuqing became the head of the Dali Temple, the Zuodu Censor of the Ducha Yuan, A judicial system specially designed for major cases and second-instance confession cases, which was reviewed and approved by the emperor, which was jointly tried by the Tongzheng Envoy and the six ministers.

   If you were one of the nine ministers, how would you try this case?

   Li Shiyao was old, and Heshen was very young, and he seemed to be replacing Li Shiyao, not to mention Li Shiyao's guilt was conclusive, and it seemed that they were not fair enough not to sentence him to death.

  The great scholars cited the case of the nine-door admiral E Shan accepting 1,000 bribes and two executions in the fifth year of Qianlong, as well as the former governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Hengwen, and the governor of Guizhou, Liangqing, who were executed for their greed for more money than Li Shiyao.

How to judge    depends on how Qianlong lived his 60th birthday.

   Qianlong was born in 1711, and his mother, Empress Xiaoshengxian, was born in 1692. The difference between the two was close to 20 years old. When Qianlong's 60th birthday, it happened to be the 80th 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 the creation of Buddha statues of immeasurable longevity. After Qianlong agreed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs set up a Buddha-making Office and concentrated local silver coins to cast Buddha statues of immeasurable longevity.

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

In order to build the Buddha of Infinite Life, it is necessary to make multiples of nine, such as nine, ninety-nine, one hundred and eight, one thousand and eight, etc. The empress dowager spends her birthdays frugally all her life, and Qianlong is the most filial person, so In the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong, just when he was 60 years old, he built a building in Beihai to enshrine the ten thousand Buddhas of immeasurable longevity.

  Although Li Shiyao was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at that time, he participated in the Qing-Myanmar War. This minister originally announced the letter, but he sent someone to order the various leaders of Siam to spy on Burma's intelligence, and capture the Burmese king to prepare prisoners.

   Don't sacrifice the living people, but dedicate two Siamese Buddha statues. Three years later, Li Shiyao was promoted to the Grand Master of Wuyingdian, and he still stayed as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

   Qianlong's 70th birthday this time, although the empress dowager is no longer there, it does not affect his temple building. Even in the prosperous times, building a palace would inevitably cut corners, and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty would make a lot of money when supervising the construction.

  In the forty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign, when Qianlong was in Rehe, the sixth Panchen Lama sent an envoy to present a watch to congratulate him on his birthday.

   The journey from RKZ to Rehe is far away. In the past, Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo, Songtsen Gampo built the Potala Palace, and this Panchen Lama will also build a place for him to live.

  The buildings are built in French style, and no one in the cabinet knows Tibetan-style buildings, including Liu Yong, the minister of industry, so Qianlong thought of Heshen.

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

  Rehe already has a building imitating the Potala Palace. He Shen inquired many places and decided to build a new temple imitating the Tashilhunpo Temple in RKZ. Qianlong gave it a new name, called Xumi Fushou Temple.

  For the above reasons, even though Li Shiyao was sentenced to be executed in the second trial, Qianlong still prepared a third trial for him, and this time he ordered the local governors to express their opinions.

   When He Shen broke this incident, Qianlong was on a southern tour. At that time, the governor of Huguang, Fulehun, who took him up, said good things to Li Shiyao.

   Few people know about this, but the "Genda" around Qianlong knew that if he didn't dredge them, he could "enlighten" on his own like Min Eyuan, the governor of AH. It's just that the imperial decree this time is more difficult to guess than the test-posted poems for the jury test. Including Fulehun, who once "guessed the question correctly", he, like most places, supports the sentence of Li Shiyao.

  With Min Eyuan's manuscript, Qianlong found a breakthrough. Based on this manuscript, he announced that he had received the manuscripts from the provinces. Considering that some people asked for the pardon of Li Shiyao, he would not make a judgment for the time being and wait until next year for a retrial.

   However, in the next year, the prison donation case broke out in Gansu, as well as the fraud case in Shandong. In comparison, Li Shiyao's crime was much lighter. It didn't take long for Qianlong to release Li Shiyao and send him to Gansu to handle military affairs.

   Soon the Governor of Gansu, Leerjin, took the blame and died, and Li Shiyao took his place and became the Governor of Gansu.

   In fact, there was a school and a western seat in the palace of the county prince, but the prince’s palace at that time was not bad for a teacher.

   The thousand old banquet held by Emperor Kangxi when he was 69 years old was not held by Qianlong when he was 69 years old. Qianlong's 50th year is also an "anniversary", and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can hold a thousand old banquet.

   At that time, it is indispensable to collect precious foods from mountains and seas, especially those from outside the Great Wall. If you catch rare and strange animals, you can also donate them as gifts. As for how much waste this will cause, and how much people’s fat and ointment will be looted, it is really not something that can be considered at the time.

  If he doesn't think of a way for the Mongolian prince-in-law, he will lose his job and starve himself. Moreover, Kulun is a big monastery and a big monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, and it is worth 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 county king really wanted to take Juren away, but Wulia Sutai was a place of exile, and Heshen's son Fengshen Yinde arrived there, but Juren planned to stay in the capital.

   It’s just that it’s not so easy to stay in the capital. After Juren failed again in the imperial examination, he went back to his hometown. It doesn’t matter if the county king is in the south.

   When He Zhongtang was in full swing, he did not go to the meeting, even though he and Yong Rong were both ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

  How does he introduce himself? He Zhongtang, do you remember? In the year of the fifth year of the imperial examination, the year when your name fell to Sunshan, I was with you.

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

   Destiny can also be remedied, long relatives are contemptible.

   I, nobles, widows, and sinners will eventually become stories in other people's dramas.

  Nalan Xingde said: I am a melancholy guest in the world, and I know what happened to you in tears.

   What if you laugh? Will he understand?
