[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

Nian Gengyao's return to Beijing was not a top priority for the high-ranking princes and ministers in the capital.

At this time, Nian Gengyao is still far from the style of a young general on the historical timeline, and he has no achievements in pacifying Qinghai that he can boast about. Give him the great prestige of kowtowing.

He is one of the governors.

Moreover, the eight governors of the Qing Dynasty (occasionally split into nine, ten or more) also often rotated. There were not many ministers in the capital who had served as governors or were close to official positions, but they were not extremely rare. .

Nian Gengyao in "The Record of Concubine Xin" originally had a wide range of friends, and a large part of the reason was that the emperor favored concubines visibly with the naked eye.

So after the noble concubine was not a noble concubine and obviously lost the grace, many princes and nobles in Beijing lowered the importance of the Nian family by a notch.So what if Nian Gengyao returns to Beijing, before the Sacred Heart is revealed, it is enough not to communicate.

But there are also people who attach great importance to Nian Gengyao's return, such as Prince Lian.Even though he was looking at the tomb in Jingshan, it didn't prevent him from observing the layout of Beijing and Central.I think Nian Gengyao can be used very well - to make trouble for the emperor.

Another example is Nian Gengyao himself, he also feels that he is very important.

I am stationed in Qinghai like this, and the credit for defending the peace of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor actually left me alone for more than half a month!He became more and more upset.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor did not summon Nian Gengyao.

Nian Gengyao and others were upset, so he really did two Buddhist rituals to get rid of his bad luck.Nian Gengyao thanked him for using a Mongolian guru recommended by Prince Lian's mansion, so he sent some thanks.

Originally, the relationship between Nian Gengyao and Ba Ye was very ordinary, and they hardly communicated with each other.

But after this time, Prince Lian's mansion quickly came to ask for help. The matter was not big or small, but it was Prince Lian Fujin who came to tell Mrs. Nian himself: "This year, the number of good leather in the Northeast is half that of previous years. I have some urgent needs, and I can't delay it during the New Year's Eve. Our master is not in Beijing, so it's difficult for me. I don't think Mrs. Nian just came back from Qinghai, and I don't know if she has a good leather bag , can you give some to our house?"

This can be regarded as scratching Mrs. Nian's itch: the land under Nian Gengyao's jurisdiction is not a land of rich fish and rice.For her, there is no exquisite silk, satin, rouge and gouache of various colors in the south of the Yangtze River, and the news is out of touch with fashion, so that every time Mrs. Nian returns to Beijing, she is afraid that the clothes on her body will not be fresh enough, and she will fall behind the fashion circle of the imperial capital.

So she had no choice but to adapt to local conditions and get more good fur from Qinghai and other places, which is another way of not falling behind.When Piansheng returned to Beijing this time, the Nian family suffered a social breakdown. No one interacted with her, and no one appreciated her precious fur coat.

At this moment, Prince Zilian's mansion came to ask for help, Madam Nian felt a lot more relieved, and generously gave up some of the high-quality leather.

For this reason, Nian Gengyao soon received a letter written by Prince Lian, expressing his sincere thanks.Master Shi even personally visited Nian's house on behalf of Prince Lian, and said: My eighth and ninth brothers are full of filial piety in Jingshan to guard the spirit of Huang Ama. There are some trivial matters at home that I can't take care of. A few of us wrote down this favor.

As a face-saving person, Nian Gengyao felt that the prince's mansion would come to ask for help and thank him, and his face was very radiant.

And when everyone is afraid to avoid him, Prince Lian's mansion doesn't look at people ordering dishes. It can be seen that Prince Lian's good reputation is not groundless, he is really modest and amiable.

After coming and going, they were idle anyway, so the Nian family got closer to Prince Lian's mansion and others.

When Jiang Heng learned that Nian's family was getting close to Prince Lian's mansion quickly, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Ba Ye is really good at Gu, even if he is not in the capital, he can cast spells from a long distance, this is simply a great magister!With all his hands, there is no one he can't catch.

Just like everyone will love her grassroots heroine.The list of officials who support Ba Ye is said to be a long list, and now Nian Gengyao has also successfully entered the list.

The source of the news that Nian's family and Prince Lian's mansion came together was the endless water plays and banquets in the palace during the New Year's Eve.

The women gathered together and chatted gossip while listening to the play, and by the way, Jiang Heng heard a lot of things outside.In addition to this year's Chinese New Year, she has a happy event to be enshrined in the Jin Dynasty, and there are more wives inside and outside the Yonghe Palace. They all have to come to have a good relationship, which is also a huge source of information.

Among them, the fourteen Fujins came the most.

There are many fourteen Fujin entering the palace.It's just that the Fourteenth Master was following Guan Bao to control the river, so he always wanted to avoid suspicion. Now that the Fourteenth Master has returned to Beijing, the emperor has also expressly stated that he does not need to go back to 'supervise' the river affairs.On the contrary, Fourteen Fujin can communicate with Jiang Heng more openly.

Unlike the thirteenth Fujin Zhaojia who is an insider, the Fourteenth Fujin is a standard outgoing personality. He has an air of speaking casually and not caring about the details—probably because of this, with the Fourteenth Lord Only when the husband and wife are harmonious, both husband and wife belong to the people who want to be happy.

It is said that the husband and wife quarreled in the same way, and today the quarrel was so loud that the sky and the earth were shattered, and even Shisan Ye and his wife had to lead out of the mansion late at night with the overnight road, and came to mediate in person.Tomorrow, the two of them will be fine again, and they will go to play at the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing together as if nothing happened.

Jiang Heng rarely saw such a bold and straightforward person in the palace, so he was very happy to listen to Fourteen Fujins.

Fourteen Fujin complained about things outside, loud and fast like a set of firecrackers.

"There are some courtiers out there who have taken some ecstasy soup or ecstasy medicine. They have forgotten what year and month they are now, and they are still arguing with Prince Lian's mansion! Didn't the emperor order those who owed the court money and food two months ago? Man, did you pay it back years ago?"

"There are some people who want money and don't want their lives, but they just refuse to spit it out. Now that the new year is over, the emperor wants to punish him severely according to the previous order, and the sons still hugged to stop him."

She touched Jiang Heng: "You know that Ma Qi who is the Minister of Prime Minister Affairs with Prince Yi."

Jiang Heng nodded: "I know."

Ma Qi is a famous person in history. He survived three generations of emperors Kang, Yong and Qian, and once won a plaque of "Eternal Wing Wear".Moreover, his family are all well-known ministers, his father, Mi Sihan, was a minister of state affairs, and helped Emperor Kangxi plan the pacification of San Francisco; his brother Ma Sika was the chief minister of the Kangxi Emperor's House of Internal Affairs, and his brother Li Rongbao But she will have children. Her daughter is Qianlong's original wife, Empress Fucha, and her son is the famous Fu Heng.

However, with such an impressive family, with Ma Qi's background, vision and official position, among the princes of Emperor Kangxi, he was optimistic about Prince Lian!After Kangxi abolished the crown prince in 47 years, Ma Qi was one of the ministers who took the lead in recommending Prince Lian to be the crown prince. Now that it was the Yongzheng Dynasty, Ma Qi would still speak for the eighth master, stand with him, and ask the emperor to forgive him for the time being. Officials who owe money and food to the treasury, give them another chance.

I have to say Prince Lian's Meeting Gu.

No, once Ma Qi got involved, the emperor didn't give him a good face.

The title of Minister for Prime Minister's Affairs?Bring it on you, stop it.

With a big wave of the emperor's hand, he asked Director Ma Qi to approve the "Quotations of the First Emperor", and it was directly distributed from the prime minister to a high-level proofreader.

"Tell me, did they ask for it themselves? I thought it was a few years after the late emperor—they formed gangs and pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy, and the emperor softened his heart and let go of the deficit for the time being."

Fourteen Fujin continued to talk about other confused officials, but Jiang Heng was a little distracted.

She is looking at these things from the perspective of historical retrospective.

Maybe Ma Qi, A Ling'a and others were not completely bewitched by Ba Ye, but because they felt powerless.The courtiers have less and less rights, and Lord Kangxi has reached a level where the courtiers can't disobey what he says.Nowadays, there is an additional layer of steadfast reform of the administration of officials, and they do not listen to persuasion at all, and even hurt the interests of bureaucrats and dignitaries like them.

Ba Ye used them, and they might be using Ba Ye too. They wanted to fight with the emperor together and try to protect their own interests.

Jiang Heng thought: Emperor Yongzheng's place is good enough!As long as you are useful, for example, Ma Qi took the lead in recommending the eighth master since the prince was abolished. Because of his diligence, Emperor Yongzheng finally used him for ten years. After Ma Qi passed away, Emperor Yongzheng gave him a good deal posthumous title.It can be seen that as long as he can do things without touching Yongzheng's bottom line, he can still die well.

When it came to Zhang Zong, it was not so easy to talk about. Emperor Qianlong was controversial about his achievements, but he was undisputedly "powerful" in being the emperor's means of controlling his officials.

The dish of the courtier was like the water walnut, all slippery, and no one dared to be a bit rough in front of him.

Thinking of Qianlong, Jiang Heng thought of his own future.

The timeline here has been completely disrupted. In the future, it will be the fourth elder brother Hongli who ascends the throne, will it still be Emperor Qianlong?

"Xinbi, my lady?" Fourteen Fujin's words brought her back to the present.

Jiang Heng also came back to his senses: The emperor is only in his 30s, and Zhang Zong is still a six-year-old child in the future, so it's too early to think about retirement.

But what Fourteen Fujin said was more important.

Seeing that Jiang Heng was willing to listen, Fourteen Fujin continued happily, peeling the walnut kernels with golden fingernails, and said: "Probably poking his own sores or the officials under his protection are not clean, even Longkodo also added to the chaos and asked the emperor to forgive him for a while. Still taking money from the emperor's uncle, our master despises Longkodo for treating himself as the emperor's serious uncle-how can such a brother come out of the empress dowager? "

Jiang Heng nodded: yes, in the Qing Dynasty at this time, the empress dowager is facing the fourth master, and the relationship between mother and child is harmonious. Not only the harem has changed, but also the government of the previous dynasty.

Longkodo is the younger brother of the emperor's adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyiren.In theory, he is considered to be half the emperor's uncle, but since the queen mother is still alive, he is not very serious as an uncle.

What's more, the emperor here ascended the throne ten years in advance, so there is really not so much use for Longkodo.

Fourteen Fujin quickly counted down these numbers.

Jiang Heng pieced together the news in his mind: Well, Ba Ye, Longkodo, Nian Gengyao, and the famous people who were dealt with in the early Yongzheng Dynasty, didn't this happen by chance?

Ever since he knew that the emperor should have come from another line, and knew about the future Emperor Yongzheng, Jiang Heng had already been lighting the candles for some people.

Unexpectedly, they also set up a group of relatives and friends and sent it up in person.

It's really a meeting of rats to discuss repairing the cat's claws.

It's just... Jiang Heng has always had a doubt.

The emperor is someone who has been through it once. He has already made arrangements for Nian Gengyao who is far away in the northwest, and he has gradually made arrangements for his subordinates.

Then why is it that the eighth master in the capital has repeatedly made small moves, and even hooked up with the third elder brother, but the emperor has never really touched Prince Lian, and at most threw him to Jingshan to see the grave?

Jiang Heng's doubts will be answered in the near future.

As soon as the first month came out, Chaoshang argued for this matter.

If Junggar is said to be a strong enemy, even if he comes back again, Emperor Yongzheng will never underestimate him.

Then there is another country that is on the same line as the Qing Dynasty. To Emperor Yongzheng, it is like a dog-skin plaster, the kind that is not strong but sticky and annoying.

It is precisely the Annan matter that is currently quarreling upwards.

Gao Qizhuo, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou a few years ago, wrote an account of Annan's invasion and occupation of border land.

Seeing the familiar incident again, the emperor couldn't help being angry: Nan'an is really troublesome!

As a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, Annan certainly did not dare to blatantly grab the land of the Qing Dynasty, but instead confuse the public and steal: the Qing Dynasty and Annan originally divided the border by a place called the Waxing River.However, Annan deliberately renamed a small ditch in Yunnan privately as the Waxing River, and then insisted that this is the border, thus occupying more than 100 miles of Yunnan and two of its copper mines.

This kind of digging was not discovered until Gao Qizhuo, the new governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, came to work a few years ago, and was about to help people’s livelihood in mining copper mines in the local area.

Immediately, a book was hit in front of the emperor.

The emperor was annoyed when he saw it: In the previous life, this matter dragged on for four years, because Annan kept jumping around repeatedly, as soon as Da Qing let go, he came to secretly steal mines, and when a soldier wanted to beat him, he pleaded guilty and begged for mercy, only saying that his small country was ignorant , please forgive me a million times.

Just pull and pull.

Four years was enough for Nian Gengyao to pacify Qinghai, and then he killed himself.The matter of Annan has been dragging on.

This time the emperor is determined not to be so procrastinating.

Gao Qizhuo, the current governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is a very capable person. Since the 33rd year of Kangxi, he has been an official in various places, and he really walked through most of the Qing Dynasty in the south.

Now Annan's sneaky behavior was quickly caught by Governor Gao.

Regardless of the fact that Gao Qizhuo has been wandering around Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi and other southern regions in recent years as an official, but his ancestral home is Tieling, Liaoning, and he is an authentic Northeast Bank. Years ago, I was writing a booklet to the emperor, asking for orders to represent the Qing Dynasty to return the land and minerals.

The emperor immediately approved, saying that Annan was not allowed to touch a single coin, not to mention land and copper mines.

Gao Qizhuo took the holy order and happily took the garrison of Yunnan and Guizhou to awe.Annan didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that there were only a few copper mines, a hundred miles of land that was not very fertile, and the Daqing Wuhua Tianbao had a vast territory. Could it be that he still cared about this backcountry? , Could it be that the Great Mosque will go to war for this land army to suppress the border?

After years of gossip, Gao Qizhuo lost his patience, and another letter went to the capital, expressing to the emperor that he wanted to beat Annan violently.

The emperor agreed again.

However, when Gao Qizhuo was in high spirits, Annan also heard that the Qing Dynasty really wanted to deal with him, so he immediately knelt down, and the king Li Shi hurriedly sent a team of envoys to Beijing day and night to beg for mercy, expressing that he had It was lard who was blinded by the desire to covet the land and copper mines of the Qing Dynasty, and asked the emperor to forgive him.

Annan slipped on his knees and quarreled over this matter.

The vast majority of people are 'forget it'. The representative Longkodo: "Annan is just a remote and small country, and the first emperor abandoned the golden seal of the previous Ming Dynasty and accepted the book of my Qing Dynasty. I have been paying tribute all these years. I have read Gao Qizhuo's book, and the land of more than [-] miles is only one or two copper mines, seven or eight villages, and not many grain fields-not to mention that now Annan knows that he is afraid of Returning the land means giving them these barren lands directly, this is the magnanimity of the last kingdom.”

The representative of the main combat faction is Li Wei.

As the governor of Zhili to defend the capital, Li Wei is considered to be the most frequent official in Xinjiang who returned to Beijing.This time I came back to Beijing just in time for Annan's incident. I heard that Longkodo and others suggested to forget it. Not only did they not attack Annan, but they also rewarded their king who "corrected when they knew their mistakes". Li Wei immediately stepped forward and tried his best. be opposed to.

"I've never heard that the country's land is given away as a face! The emperor clearly sees that Annan dares to be brave. The border line is the two ends of the first mouse, which shows the heart of disobedience. If they go lightly this time, I'm afraid they Take our dynasty's kindness as weakness, and the border with Yunnan will be difficult to stabilize in the future!"

Compared with Longko, Li Wei's background is more heavenly and underground, but he dared to challenge Longkodo when he was in court.

He said directly: "My lord lives in the capital, and I have never had any contact with Annan's country of people. I have worked on the Yunnan Salt Post Road, and I have really dealt with Annan!"

"Annan used to be a vassal state of the former Ming Dynasty. The former Ming Dynasty was as strong as Cheng Zu's years. They didn't dare to move at all. They only acted as a sign of obedience. By the way, they demanded various rewards from the former dynasty in the name of paying tribute. Once the former dynasty fell into decline, They will immediately bite back, seize the opportunity to rob people and land, and even collude with Japanese pirates at sea to commit crimes! This has been the case for hundreds of years!"

"It can be seen that An Nanguo is fearful of power but not virtuous, and grudges but not grateful."

"Your Majesty, I implore the emperor to take heavy responsibility for Annan this time, and restore the tranquility of the Yunnan border." In Li Wei's view, if the Qing Dynasty was a barn, then Annan was just a big mouse wandering outside.Although he is afraid of the big cats with sharp claws in the granary, he is always thinking about stealing food.

Longkodo was unable to step down from the top of Li Weidang, and he was furiously scolded: "It's a bunch of nonsense, and it's the loss of the face of the ancestors to care about the small country of Quer! The late emperor had a national policy for Annan back then, so It's kindness and benevolence." After all, Annan was a vassal state of the former Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi's purpose was to be a more lenient sovereign state than the former Ming Dynasty, so that Annan would take the initiative to bow down.

Li Wei scoffed at this.

After a heated debate at the court, the two groups looked at the emperor sitting on the throne.

Such lively news was still told to Jiang Heng by the 'Fourteen Fortune Broadcasting Channel'.

Hearing what Fourteen Fujin said about Longkodo, Jiang Heng was speechless.I really don't feel bad about selling my father's land: what is called a land of more than 100 miles, just give it to Annan.That's all our country's land!

Well, when the national power is strong, land and money are rewarded to show face, and when the national power is weak, land is cut and compensation is paid.

Jiang Heng felt his blood pressure rise.

So he quickly asked Fourteen Fujin: "Then what does the emperor mean?"

Fourteen Fujin: "The emperor is the most wise, can you listen to this? The emperor said directly at the court: the size of the country's territory must not be lost, let alone a hundred miles! The imperial court will soon send imperial envoys to follow Annan's envoys to reprimand Annan , order him to return all the land, population and minerals, and retreat another hundred miles as a punishment. If Annan refuses to tame and accept the punishment, he will ask Governor Gao to use soldiers to tame him."

Jiang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words: I feel comfortable, I really feel comfortable hearing these words.

Fourteen Fujin has a detailed understanding of this matter: "Speaking of the imperial envoys who communicate with foreign countries, it is common to send princes. Our Lord agrees with Mr. Li Wei's words, and he wants to go to Yunnan to support Governor Gao. Woolen cloth."

Gao Qizhuo's command ability, coupled with the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, beat Annan, which was a pure slap.

The only problem is that Yunnan is too far away, and it is difficult to deliver news in winter. If there is wind and snow all the way north, it will be delayed for many days.

Annan's behavior has always been cunning and repetitive. At one moment he was determined not to vomit the land of the Qing Dynasty, and at another moment he cried and knelt down and said he was willing to hand it back.Maybe if the imperial court lets go of the war, they will sneak over to occupy the land again.

Every time Gao Qizhuo has to submit a booklet to ask the emperor for instructions, it will definitely delay the opportunity of the battle.

The best way is to send a prince to hold the line, who can take up the leadership responsibility for Gao Qizhuo.Just like the late emperor, when it was inconvenient for him to go to battle, his brother and prince Wang Fuquan would often go to hold the battle, because he was afraid that the general would always have to ask for instructions back and forth to delay the opportunity.

Fourteen felt that he was too suitable to go.

So in the past few days, he always went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and wanted to go to Yunnan to fight and educate Annan, but the emperor refused.

The Fourteenth Fujin said to Jiang Heng: "It's for this reason that I don't want to stay in the mansion and would rather go to the palace to relax—our master's temper, when he gets upset, he jumps up and down, and the bluestone slabs in the mansion are covered by him. A layer has been worn away, and I have a headache from his nagging."

"I heard from our lord that the emperor just dislikes his violent temper and can't deal with An Nan who is twisted and twisted. Let him put it away for a while, and let him contribute in the future." Fourteen Fujin said that his husband is valued by the emperor, and also It's kind of like holding your head up.

"As for Annan, the emperor said that there are other arrangements."

In an instant, Jiang Heng suddenly realized: Prince Lian!She seemed to know why the emperor kept Prince Lian all this time!

If the emperor wants to completely control Annan from the root, and surrender without fighting, then Prince Lian is really the best choice.

How can Annan's ugly-looking little rascal be compared with Prince Lian, a master of tea art.

Prince Lian was asked to negotiate with Annan as a representative of the Qing Dynasty, and King Annan's skin was peeled off by Prince Lian, maybe he was still foolish.

Prince Lian, a noble and rare tea tree, moved to Yunnan, which is considered a good place for tea.

Sure enough, on the sixth day of February, Prince Lian, who was guarding the spirit in Jingshan, was ordered to return to Beijing.
