Chapter 147: The Wansheng Festival (additional one section, ending with the third volume)

The Wanbao Festival is getting closer and closer, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere in the court. The emperor is very happy. Lunch is still used with the Queen and Ying Hui Gege, the fifth prince, and chatting and laughing at the dinner. They both felt very happy. After lunch, the emperor was about to rest on the chair for a while. Liufu walked carefully to the front, "Master, the Neizui Office has handed in the memorial office."

"Why at this time?" The emperor opened his eyes and looked at the Western self-tone bell placed on the Baibao Pavilion in Cuijingzhai. Just after twelve o'clock, he pinched his nose bridge and forced himself to wake up. "Please bring it in."

"Yes." The little eunuch from the Inner Memorial Office entered the hall with a stack of memorials, placed it lightly on the short table placed on the kang, and bowed and retreated.

The people around him knew his temper and could talk and laugh. When talking about political affairs, it was like this memorial and was always banned. Although the children were young, since the seventh year of Xianfeng, Princess Yinghui defiled Yuan Jiasan's memorial and severely punished the emperor, she never dared to touch her again. She even avoided her from a distance whenever she saw it, for fear that she would be careless and anger her father.

Listening to Princess Yinghui's voice coaxing her younger brother away, the emperor turned over and sat up, looked outside, and the queen was served by a palace maid and went to the corridor in the garden to have a "walk". The couple's habits were different. The queen always liked to take a walk after dinner, but she was always willing to lie down lazily. It would be better to be fine and let him close his eyes and take a break for a moment before he felt the happiest and beautiful. And often after a while, he became more and more energetic and did not feel sleepy until the night.

Seeing that today's rest was disturbed again, the emperor sighed, took a memorial, and started reading it. This was written by the Censorate of Fujian Province, named You Baichuan. "Working for our Emperor and being the first in the world, how could he do civil engineering to nourish the prosperity and expenses, and beg for the saints to learn about the affairs."

The emperor thought about it and had a little impression that You Baichuan is from Shandong. He and Du Shoutian's fellow villagers had a relationship with each other, so the two families got very close. This memorial was directed by Du Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue a few days ago, "The Ministry of Revenue is empty, and the funds should be stored, please seal them as soon as possible, and fold them together."

Shortly after Sushun returned to Beijing, he didn't know what he used to do to motivate the emperor to renovate the Wanshou Mountain landscape built during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. After calculation, it would cost three million taels of silver after such a project? Du Han, the Minister of Revenue, was embarrassed. Indeed, Yan Dan Junior High School Hall's words were unreasonable. The emperor has rarely had any escort responsibilities in the past ten years, but if this wind is together, it would be really difficult to stop in the future! On that day, I am afraid that the little family income obtained by the rule of the king and the ministers will be all over the person who is in charge of the superiors!

Du Han's family background was born, and he was in charge of the court. His father was very kind to the emperor and was a minister. His son could not see anything in his heart, but he was speechless because his superiors were secretly hidden. He immediately submitted a memorial, and the reason for the memorial was "The ministry and treasury should be stored, please seal it according to the initial proposal, and fold it into pieces", but what is pointed out in the inside is a way to prevent problems and eliminate them.

In the article, Du Han believed that the emperor was the emperor, who was the emperor, and repairing the scenery in the garden, was originally a way for ministers. However, what he was worried that the Office of the Internal Affairs was to start doing this and start to do errands. All kinds of wasteful actions would definitely increase the expenses of the Office of the Internal Affairs, so he asked the Emperor to use the means of suppressing the Office of the Internal Affairs, hoping to achieve the goal of saving money.

The emperor attached great importance to Du Han's memorials. When he met with the Military Affairs Office, he took them out and asked Yan Jingming for his opinion.

"When I was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the emperor once told me that in the future, all payments for the Ministry, except for those paid, the remaining 40% must be stored in a special account, and are ready for future naval use. This is a century-old plan for the country, and the relationship is extremely important. It is just like the precedent of the sealing of the pile warehouse in the dynasty of Emperor Shizong."

"Yeah!" The emperor nodded heavily. He had been familiar with the old things in the previous dynasty when he was studying in the study room. When Emperor Shizong was in power, he checked the name and truth and stopped everything without any urgent matters. There was no "big work" except river defense and seawall. The remaining funds were deposited in the "Sealing Cutout" located in the east of the cabinet. At the end of the year, he saved more than 30 million taels of silver and stored grain and rice, which could also be used for twenty years. This was why the prosperous era of Qianlong was achieved.

With Yan Jingming's reply, the monarch and ministers discussed a few words and issued an edict: "The Ministry of Revenue Report: "The Ministry of Revenue Report is empty, and the funds should be stored, please deposit them according to the initial proposal", and 40% foreign tax and silver. It was reported by the Prime Minister's Government Affairs Office to submit the funds to the Ministry of Revenue and store them in another amount. Recently, the Ministry of Revenue Report has been continuously paid, and the main items are not enough, so it is disconnected from the initial proposal, which is inconsistent with the initial proposal.

According to the memorial, the original case will be sealed. In the future, each customs report will release 40% of the foreign tax, and will be sealed as soon as possible. None of the deposits in the previous period is allowed to be irresponsible. If the inventory is in stock, it will not be filled for the time being. However, the Eight Banners military pay and Shenji operation funds, as well as the critical military needs at any time, the department will report to the Ministry to temporarily borrow 40% of the foreign tax. When the official item is sufficient, the number of payments will be paid. No other loans will be allowed to be transferred, which will lead to the gradual transfer of the transfer.

: The internal government and external warehouses are customized, and each should be based on the amount of money, not to be mixed. Another piece of the report: The internal government funds are still allocated. The internal government supplies all items. There are Guangdong Customs, Tianjin, Changlu, and the manor rented silver. The Ministry of Revenue will add funds every year to the Ministry of Revenue, and why is the amount of money not enough? The Minister of the General Administration of the Internal Affairs Office will verify the safety of all applications and strictly order the officers of the department.

, handle it carefully, and do not spend arbitrary expenses, causing breach! If the provincial government regulations release the funds, if the limit exceeds the limit or the owed it, the minister and others will report to the governor, the supervisor, the commissar, etc., to punish the governor, the supervisor, etc. to warn them to make a warning. At the time of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue will report that the funds will still be allocated according to the year, so that the government will not be too short of money. In the future, the Ministry of Revenue will not borrow and allocate from the Ministry of Revenue to customize the rules and make these orders known."

However, such an edict was only aimed at the rising trend of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was of no use to the seriousness of the Emperor's desire to build the garden scenery. I don't know if the emperor did not see the implication of the memorial, or did he see it, intending to pretend to be confused?

Given that Du Han's remarks did not have any effect, I continued to work hard and posted this memorial again. The content in the article was very brief: "I think that the Old Summer Palace is a place where our dynasty should be repaired in time to look at it spectacularly, but the Western affairs are not yet stable, and the north and south are dry and slump, so it seems that it is not appropriate to add it. The emperor practices frugality and must not do this. It is ignorant of the people. It is said that he is afraid that he will have the virtue of the sage, so he can't speak directly for this, and he is extremely terrified."

The emperor kept rolling his eyes. The comments about traveling to Baichuan are so annoying! What does it mean to be "ignorant and ignorant, and all the legends" mean? I have worked hard all year round, and I am almost thirty years old. I am not repairing them, but I have renovated the palaces and pavilions for many years, and so many people have submitted comments? It's so annoying! It's so hateful!

What makes people feel most helpless is that the garden was built by the former pilgrimage, which was for the sake of "rain erosion, and the beauty will no longer be revealed". As a descendant, I "can't bear it in my heart", but in fact, everyone knows that this is just empty words to deceive the child, and it is not that the emperor himself is greedy for the enjoyment of wealth and honor, and he wants to make a lot of effort? This always feels a little weaker on the basis of establishing words. Therefore, I have to perfunctory Qingliu and make some concessions.

The emperor's concession was to reiterate his own constraints, admit that the reason for traveling to the world was reasonable, and to show that, "I am frugal and the world's first, how could I do it again to build civil engineering to make money?" It was just to make the "Holy Lord stay and remember the world". In the end, he said that "material resources are difficult, and matters should be frugal". Therefore, he chose Paiyun Hall, Foxiang Pavilion, Zhuanhuan Hall, Cifu Tower, Baoyun Pavilion, Luohan Hall and other places that must be repaired. "A little repair should not be too luxurious. The rest should not be built to show savings."

After writing, the emperor sighed helplessly. It was less than 2,000 years old. It was really a coward to be an emperor and do his best to be his own!

There was a voice coming from the door, and it was vaguely clear that Sushun was talking to the queen for his greeting, "...Subor Sushun...please."

"Get up." After hearing the answer, it was not like the queen, but it was like the tone of Concubine Lan. He felt a little curious, put down the book and turned around outside. Sure enough, in addition to Sushun, the queen, the fifth prince Zaichun, and Princess Yinghui, Concubine Lan Yehenara also brought the sixth prince Zaichun to Cuijingzhai together.

Seeing the emperor come out, Sushun knelt down again, "Subor Sushun, come to the emperor."

The emperor waved his hand to get up, and turned to look at his queen with a smile, "How come you have free time today? Are you here?"

Yehenara gave her husband a resentful look and curled her lips silently, "Why, if you don't go to the slave's room, can you not be able to talk to your sister by yourself?"

The emperor was a little embarrassed. Although Yehenara's concubines in the harem were not considered to be able to follow the list, he had been very few times. Moreover, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Such a happy thing for men and women has not been there for a long time. He wanted to make a few jokes, and in front of the foreign minister, some words were always difficult to say. He waved his hand, "Come to Ama?"

Zai and Zai Feng are the same age as Zai Feng, but they are younger on their birthday. They staggered their feet and swayed to their father, raised their faces and smiled, "Ah...ma."

"Be good," he squatted, raised his hand and touched the child's shaved forehead, "Well, the prince's head is full of roundness!"

The queen and Concubine Lan chuckled regardless of the etiquette. The silly Zaiban brothers also chuckled, "Go, be with your mother and mother, Liufu?" He ordered behind him, "Tonight, I will serve in Cuijingzhai at the imperial kitchen. I will have dinner with the queen and Lanzhuer."

"twitter!"

The emperor then turned around, "Sushun," he asked, "You are here to see me now, is there something wrong?"

"Yes. This time, the slave asked for a visit to the master. It was for Li Guangzhao's affairs, and asked the emperor to show his advice."

"Oh, have you seen him?"

"Yes. I've seen it."

"According to what you see, how many points are Li Guangzhao's statements about his own response are true and how many points are false?"

"I am stupid and always feel that what Li Guangzhao said is hesitant and vague. But if I say that there must be some bad things, I am unable to say them."

"You can hear that his words are dazed. If he has hidden secrets, he is already much better than a dog like Mingshan!" He said, "Will Li Guangzhao have something to ask for in the court? Why?"

"Yes." Su Shun didn't have to think about what Li Guangzhao had. He first told the three things he asked for one by one, and finally said, "I want to issue customs defenses, which is related to the political system. It is not feasible. But if you serve the wood, you can report it to the local officials, and ask the governor to give you a license, and let the tax exemption be released. I think it should be a feasible plan."

The emperor suddenly became bored and did not want to listen to him say more about Li Guangzhao. "I tell you, Li Guangzhao is really a liar who travels around. This time, he is just trying to take this opportunity to take advantage of the court. He is just a false head of passing the customs and exempting taxes, and to smuggle it; secondly, he had the idea that after the Yangmu arrived in Tianjin in the future, he would take full control of the matter, and ask for a price all over the place!"

"It's ridiculous and kind, stupid as a pig or a dog! Play with others on applause - the court raises such a group of waste, and I will stop everything by myself!" He waved his hand, "After you go down, you will immediately inform the nine-sect admiral and the Ministry of Justice, and arrest Li Guangzhao before talking about it!"

Su Shun was stunned. What's going on? He didn't dare to ask too much, and agreed in a panic, turned around and ran away.

When he returned to the courtroom of the Interior Office, he was already sweating profusely. He ignored the surprised eyes of others and walked in and asked repeatedly, "Where is that Li Guangzhao? Have you left?"

"I asked Wenxi to send him back. Why, what's wrong with him? "

"He... is a liar! We almost all fell into his fool!"

Mingshan was not mentally prepared at all. He only thought that the emperor's family members would go to the palace to ask for orders. At that time, the official business from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was held, and Li Guangzhao went south to handle the work. Mu Zhi arrived in Tianjin and sent personnel to collect the work and save a large amount of money from the court. Could it be that the emperor could invite the emperor and the father and the subordinates could get the respect of their colleagues?

Unexpectedly, Su Shun said something like this as soon as he entered the door. The cup of tea cups imitating Jun porcelain hit the ground and fell to pieces. He couldn't speak neatly. "How...what...is...is it? Brother Yuting, how did you... know?"

"How did I know? The emperor ordered people to quickly arrest Li Guangzhao! What he said to us was empty words, all for him..." He waved his hand in annoyance, and realized that since he entered the official office, he had only done this thing the most cowardly; "You don't have to ask too much, in short, no one can trust the words of Li in ten sentences."

"Brother Yuting, you want to save me!...This?" Mingshan cried and was about to kneel down for Sushun. "This matter is really amazing. I don't know which poison and rope to die in the future."

Seeing his fear of death, Su Shun was both angry and ridiculous, "Don't tell me this now. Hurry up to report the case to the Nine Gate Admiral's Office and ask them to send someone to Li Guangzhao's guest room with you to get people. I can tell you that if you can get Li Guangzhao, I can always say a few good things to you in front of the emperor. If you can't get people, you can find a place to hang yourself!"

"Hey, hey!" Mingshan agreed and turned outward. Wenxiu took a step in and saluted him with a smile, "Sir, where are you going?"

Mingshan was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Wenxi in the face, "Dog slave, you've done a good job!"

Wenxi staggered at him, covered his mouth with his hands and asked blankly, "Uncle Ming, why are you... hitting me?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I'll ask you, where is Li Guangzhao now?"

"I sent him to the straw hat alley in Beicheng... I originally wanted to have a drink with him, but he said that I might have something to come to me in the palace. I will come to his room later..."

Su Shun was extremely agile and knew it was bad at first glance, "It's bad, Li Guangzhao noticed something. He might be running!"

"Sir, you can't let him run away. He ran away. What should we do?"

"Bah!" Sushun spat at him, "Don't involve me, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Mingshan was shocked. If Sushun wanted to retreat at this time, he and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no one who could speak for them in front of the emperor. "Sir, you... can't you?"

Sushun didn't bother to talk to him, glared at his triangle eyes and curled his lips coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Whether you can save your life depends on whether you can catch Li Guangzhao." After pausing, he said again, "As long as you can capture the criminal, you will always have a slow cheek in your affairs; if you can't, I will be helpless."

"Ah, yes, yes. What the lord said is that it is a serious matter to catch Li Guangzhao." Mingshan called Wen Xi and Cheng Lin, and then brought a few officers from the Interior Office to rush out of the Chaofang. He kept begging for heaven in his heart. This time he arrived at the guest room and captured Li Guangzhao smoothly and settled the lawsuit. If he could escape this disaster, he would give up his responsibilities. He would not be able to do anything else.

***************************************

But the unscrupulous spirit, when they arrived at the guest room where Li Guangzhao lived, the shopkeeper said that one hour ago, Mr. Li left the shopkeeper and was said to have visited a few friends. He ordered people to open the door of his room to see. The clothes he carried when he entered the store and the cages were placed in the corner of the wall. It looked like he was really going out to do business, and he would go back to the room to rest until he came to the evening.

Mingshan rarely understood once, and ordered people to open the box and search carefully. It was just some clothes they wore with, and the silver and money were all fine and soft. "What a bastard! He actually used the trick of getting rid of the shell." Mingshan cursed hatefully and turned around and ordered, "Go to the door and see if Fulian is here?"

Wenxi went out, and people shouted that the horses were neighing outside, and there was a lot of noise. A blue wool sedan chair stopped. It was Fulian who arrived. "Please pay tribute to the Admiral." Wenxi hurriedly came over and knelt down first to salute.

"What's going on? The people from the Interior Affairs Office just came to our yamen and said that the emperor issued an oral order to capture the criminal Li Guangzhao, but it's true?"

Wenxi was angry and secretly scolded Fu Lian for not speaking human words. Does anyone dare to falsely pass the imperial edict? But he couldn't offend him at this moment, and he smiled and replied, "Sir, please come in with the young man, and you will know."

Half an hour later, the cavalry in Beijing went out in all directions and rushed out along the nine gates, making the people who were used to living a stable life whispered together, and I wonder if there was any major change.

Chapter 148

Although for two days, together with the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion, the officers from Daxing and Wanping counties searched everywhere, and the scout cavalry chased them along the official roads in all directions for 200 miles, but finally they did not find Li Guangzhao. He seemed to have evaporated and his traces were not visible.

Li Guangzhao's incident was a sensation and was already a laughing joke, but there were different discussions. Some said that the emperor was young and seemed to have many flaws and was reimbursed like a joke. Some blamed the Minister of Military Affairs. Such cases have been allowed to evolve to this day, almost causing foreign-related disputes. I wonder what the officials are doing?

The emperor was also a little regretful. Li Guangzhao was just a must-have citizen, but he did not expect that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were afraid of the power of the heaven, and they were afraid that they would get serious condemnation in order to make a mess of their jobs, so they tried their best to capture Li Guangzhao and pushed all the crimes and responsibilities on him in order to protect themselves. He sighed. It was already the eighth day of the sixth month, and tomorrow was the day of his birthday. But at this time, such a drama happened?

After thinking for a while, the emperor looked down at the few people in the Military Affairs Office kneeling below, "Li Guangzhao, is there still no whereabouts?"

"I am afraid." Zaiyuan replied with his head, "Li Guangzhao is very cunning. He knows that it is difficult to escape the emperor's eyes, so he hides his entire life. I think that the criminal has already escaped from the net. However, I have already informed the provinces along the way with official matters. Once arrested, they will be sent to Beijing. At that time, he will be punished with the priest, and think that the people in the world will be more effective."

"These dogs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ha!" the emperor snorted angryly, "It's all a bunch of confused insects! I actually want to tell you everything? Zaiyuan, your responsibility is to take care of these slaves and let them pay more attention to their work in the future. Don't hear any good words, and you won't know the southeast, west and north."

"Yes, the slave will definitely take care of it in detail in the future and take care of it carefully. If you dare not use humble things, you will be worried."

Wen Xiang felt that it was not appropriate to stir up the joyful atmosphere of the birthday celebration for Li Guangzhao at this time, and interrupted, "Emperor, tomorrow is the day for the emperor to be happy, and even more for the grand celebration of thousands of subjects. Please rest assured the thunder and the holy heart is concerned about the people. Why should I get angry with Li Guangzhao and the troubled people? I think he can grow wings and fly abroad in the heavenly dynasty?"

"Forget it," the emperor nodded in a good manner, "There is no need to disturb my thoughts for Li Guangzhao. I will come to Grand Duke Kuoran to give me a banquet and enjoy the show, so let's talk about serious things." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Sushun has done a good job in Shanxi in the past few years. I think it is not easy for him to have a great rule of the people in Jin Province and make many achievements within two years, huh?"

"Yes," Zaiyuan was the first to meet and answer, "The slave dared not deceive the Holy Lord. Sushun had close friends with the slave. During the years he went out of Beijing to work as a province, he would go to his house to talk to him about his congratulations. Sushun told the slave that all he could have had was the guidance of the emperor and the subordinates relied on his ministers to use his life. He himself did not dare to take credit."

"That's the case, but I always feel that it's a bit in vain to let him stay in Shanxi like this. Moreover, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has come to the time to rectify it. Tell me, should he be transferred to Beijing and take charge of the matter?"

The emperor's tone was about asking questions, but everyone could hear the inner meaning. Although Wen Xiang and Sushun had a great disagreement back then, he also knew that if there was a courage to take down the evil, it was really difficult for the bannermen to be right. They kneeled aside and remained silent.

"Then let's settle it like this." The emperor waited for a while, and saw that no one was talking, and immediately decided, "What happened in Shanxi is to take the cabinet bachelor's degree and give him the second-rank top of the hair. Also, this matter does not need to be written on the pen for the time being, I will tell him personally."

"Zhe." Seeing that the emperor did not give any instructions, Zaiyuan was the first to meet and knelt down and slowly retreated.

The eighth day of the sixth month is a warm birthday. First, the food was given to Shuanghezhai, the main hall of Dagong Kuoran, which was a dinner party. On the 90th day of the sixth month, the emperor got up early in the morning and first went to the Suicheng Hall, which worshipped the five emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang, and then received congratulations to the Great Guangming Hall of Yuzheng.

The charity of the python was set up inside, and the danbi was the joy of the great joy of the prince, prince, prince, prince, lord, marquis, lord, marquis, and lords were awarded the titles, civil and military ministers, Han Zhan Kedao, all of them were python robes and jackets, and they were all rank-level. Under the praise of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, the grand ceremony of celebration of three kneelings and nine kowtows was performed in the graceful and solemn "Qingping" movement.
To be continued...
