Chapter 51: Marriage (2)

The New Year's enfeoffment of the yamen, Beijing, and everywhere outside the capital, there was only one military office. Since the 13th year of Xianfeng, the precedent of military ministers taking turns to enter the value, and it has gradually become customized. However, compared with the usual days, the time for entering the value is much shorter, and it has been changed to the jiāo from the Si hour to the day of the day to deal with sudden emergency military and national affairs. In fact, it was just a long time to sit in the Military Office. Since the entry of the value, nothing major happened. [bsp;   

On the 13th day of the first lunar month, it was Zhao Guang's duty. It was originally Wen Xiang, but since the winter of the previous year, he and Xu Naizhao, Luo Bingzhang and others got sick one after another. Zeng Guofan and Yi discussed it and simply gave up the three of them on duty. At most, the remaining four people would work harder. Today, the military machine Zhangjing on duty was Xu Geng and a man named Ma Jianzhong, whose courtesy name was Meishu. He was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Xianfeng. He had just left the hall and passed the exam. He was only twenty-six years old and was very young.

When he bowed to Zhao Guang, Eunuch Sula went down with a few people's food boxes and went to work hard. The Military Affairs Office has a very good tradition. Today's work is done today, and the mistake is not an extremely special situation. He has never paid the book or delayed the business overnight. So on such days, they are very leisurely and have nothing to do, but just sit and talk.

Zhao Guang was born in the Ministry of Justice, and was familiar with the laws and regulations. He has always focused on trial and imprisonment for many years, and had no time to take care of others. When he entered the Military Affairs Office, he was still in charge of the Ministry of Justice. Last year, the emperor issued an edict to report that all fugitives had filed for these people since the first year of Xianfeng. In Zhao Guang's opinion, this was certainly the emperor's kindness, but he was afraid that the people in the hometown would not know the details. He thought that the emperor would release all his past sins with grace, which would really cause great public grievances and the country would be out of the country. Just imagine that someone injured someone's life and fled abroad. Now, a piece of paper, how could he let go of his family members who were beaten and killed? If there was a revenge for si punishment, when would it be aborted?

That's not all. After this incident, the emperor issued an order. The provinces suspended the reunion of all death row prisoners and transferred all the files to Beijing, and the Ministry of Justice reviewed them one by one. This put great pressure on the Ministry of Justice. Except for one Zhu Guangdi, no one was not complaining. When Zhao Guang shouted several times, he reported the matter, but when he said it, he swallowed it back: It was not said that this matter was written by the emperor, but it was just that Zhu Guangdi, who was trying his best to do his best and always worked hard, he rashly submitted a memorial and asked the emperor, "Zhu Guangdi can do it, why can't you do it?" How could he write his own words?

Thinking in his heart, Zhao Guang felt very sad. His poems were not bad and he had no desire to covet. However, he had been in charge of the Ministry of Justice for many years and had deep affection. During the Chinese New Year, people came to pay New Year's greetings. Speaking of Zhu Guangdi, no one who did not scold him asked him to make a promise. It would be better to change his errand. Just... How do you express it in this way?

Just as Hu Siluàn thought, there was a very familiar voice outside of Mén, "Whose class is this?"

Zhao Guang hurriedly put down the teacup and came out from it, "My teacher..."

"For the New Year, all the rules are exempted." The emperor chuckled and walked in. "Wenxiang and others are seriously ill, so you guys will have to work hard."

"I dare not." Zhao Guang bent his body slightly, followed behind and entered the house, serving the emperor to sit down in the middle hall with the words "One Hall of Harmony". Yang San stepped forward and helped him take off his boots and sat cross-legged. "If you have something to do, just send someone to summon him. Why... There is no reason in the world that the master visits his subordinates?"

"It just snowed, and I was happy to see this clean world.

I didn't realize that I took a few more steps." The emperor explained with a smile, "Are you all at home?"

"Yes. I am ashamed of the Emperor's memory, and I am grateful to the holy grace of the cold house."

"During the yamen period, only the Military Affairs Office was a little popular. I'm going to tell you that I always come here occasionally. Yesterday, I was eating with Yan Jingming." The emperor smiled childishly, "Yan Jingming, don't watch him reach the high position of a country's government, and eat like a wolf. I asked him, and he said that when he was a child, his family was poor and there were many brothers and sisters, and he wouldn't be able to eat without robbing. Over time, he became a voracious disease."

Zhao Guang laughed a few times, and suddenly had an idea, "I think the northwest provinces will no longer be a barren scene. People have no worries about food and clothing, so they don't have to drink or drink anymore. Is it like to imitate Lord Yan's old feelings?"

"Not that simple, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will mention it. They have been called wealth for a long time. As long as they are willing to put in their efforts, they can always achieve food and clothing. In the northwest provinces, in addition to being willing to put in their efforts, they also have to look at God's face."

Zhao Guang intended to lead the emperor to speak like this, and then said, "I think that the northwest has been poor for many years and the people are simple and simple. The overall situation of the people system needs to be discussed for a long time." He said, "It is like in the previous year, the emperor gave favors to the world and exempted money and food, and there was also a sage of punishment. There was a sage spreading to the world. In addition to those bandits who were unwilling to accept evil, all provinces sincerely praised the emperor as wise as the sky and love the people as the sons."

He paused, looked at the emperor's complacent god, and said, "But I am just worried that such a behavior that benefits the people will be used by people and will become the basis for harming the people."

The emperor immediately attracted attention for his words, "What do you say?"

So, Zhao Guang elaborated on what he thought in his heart and finally said, "Therefore, I always want to tell all parties. From what the emperor said, it is best to truly understand and know the people seriously."

"Well, this is a bit reasonable." The emperor said in a deep voice. "After the Chinese New Year, we will order the cabinet to draw an edict to spread it to the whole country. We must distinguish between good and bad, but we must treat it differently."

"The emperor follows the advice, and I am impressed." Zhao Guang saw that it was almost done, and then he said carefully, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing, I don't know if I should say it."

"What is this? If you have something to do, just say it."

"I think the emperor has the intention to overcorrect the crime of the people in each province."

The emperor was stunned for a long time and barely sat upright. Leng Yan asked, "Does there be any saying that you are talking like this?"

"Some." Zhao Guang knelt down first and replied, "Read all historical records, from Zulong, the past years have been suspended, either for praying for blessings, to surrender grace, or to ward off disasters. There has never been a peaceful year, there is no drought or famine, or to stop the previous example. The emperor suspended the reconciliation last year, which is certainly the kindness of the king. But I think this matter is easily criticized by the people of the world."

"If I kill people, people in the world will think that I am cruel; if I don't kill people, I will be criticized by others? The truth about the people in the world, so I have no reason at all?"

"I dare not say that. However, the sentences of death to people in each province are all in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty. I am in charge of the department and memorialized the files of the criminals filed by various provinces to Beijing. All of them are true and true, and there is no falsehood. However, the emperor's sages are pointed out by me..."

"How are you?"

"I think it's a superfluous move."

"I understand. It turns out that it's not because the people criticize it, but because you think there are too many chores and too hard work, huh?"

Zhao Guang was shocked. He did not expect that the emperor's brain was so clear that he could hear the implicit sound from his ambiguous play. He hurriedly met with his head, "I dare not"

The emperor was not very angry, but said softly, "Get up first." When he stood up, he said to him, "I told Zhu Guangdi and others that in the future, we should adhere to the principle of doing things that would rather give one thousand mistakes than wrongly accuse one. At that time, not only Zhu Guangdi, but also Weng Tonghe and Chongshi were all shocked, thinking that I had a wrong tongue and said the wrong thing. In fact, it was not. Criminal cases are the most concerned about the people's sentiment - unlike money, grain, and taxes, the latter However, suffering a little loss in money and rice is irrelevant to the overall situation. Moreover, there is something about the learning of the heart. Simply put, if someone encounters a tragic thing, it will feel much easier in his feelings - money and food matters. Even if the people in each county and one place suffer from the clerks, because of this strange psychological effect, they will not feel that they cannot get over it. Think about it, is this the truth?"

Zhao Guang thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "What the emperor said is that I... I am also worried."

"And the case of criminality is different. Every case, one, is related to the family's own sorrow, honor, gain and loss. The last time I told Zhu Guangdi, you have heard the story of a child picking up small fish on the roadside, right? That's the reason." He said, "The reason why I have been so tired of ordering people to transfer all the files of each province into the capital is this - think about it, just for the clerk to go in and out, maybe an innocent people will suffer from the difficulties of being different from their bodies and heads? Is this the law you are familiar with, and I have been in charge of Qiu Cao's book for a long time?"

Zhao Guang's face turned red and he didn't say anything, "I'll tell you another word. What I want to do in such a thing is very simple, only the word fair. Justice does not depend on how many people the court killed - this is definitely not justice. The so-called justice means that innocent people will never suffer unrestrained disasters. For such a purpose, even if one or two people who really take the blame occasionally may be let go of one or two people who are truly guilty, it is an acceptable loss."

The impact of these words on Zhao Guang is like the morning bell. From what he has learned in his life, he can't figure it out. In order to seek justice, he even wants to let go of one or two truly guilty people. How can it be said that it is an acceptable loss?

The emperor saw it and smiled bitterly, "You may not understand such a thing as a country's government. This is because it is not suitable for both time and place. If you can change the occasion or change the place of your life, you will understand."

Don’t say that Zhao Guang couldn’t understand, even if he could understand, it would be too difficult to implement what the emperor said, and it would be ridiculed by a castle in the air. Of course, this sentence can only be thought about in my heart, and it cannot be rumored in my mouth.

The Military Affairs Office was quiet for a moment, and the emperor put his boots on the ground and said, "There is another thing, Li Hongzhang said in the memorial, the establishment of the Investment Promotion Bureau in Fujian..."

Just as he was talking about this, there was a sound of footsteps on the mouth. Yang San entered the room and said, "Emperor, Liu Fu said, the Empress invites the Emperor to return to the palace."

The topic was interrupted, and the emperor stood up helplessly and left. He came to Zhongcui Palace. He watched the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling all over the ground without seeing them. He walked straight into the door, but was stunned. In addition to the queen, Concubine Jin, Concubine Jia and others, there were two unknown sons in the warm pavilion. One was older, wearing a water-green skirt, with a full moon face, a big silver basin with a swallow's tail, and was smiling and listening to the queen's words. The other was young, with a white oval face, with a pretty face and a shy look, which looked a little like the older one, probably a mother. "This matter, the emperor... Alas, you are right when you talk about the emperor, you are here." As he said that, the queen smiled and stood up to salute, "I'm here to see the emperor."

The two concubines and the other two nvs stood up at the same time, Yingying knelt down, "Kow to the Emperor. Long live the good fortune"

It would be fine for the queen and others, but the other two seemed to be relatives of the royal family. Although he was the lord of the four seas, it was not appropriate to summon the wife of the foreign ministers within the palace. The emperor stopped and wanted to turn away, but was afraid that there would be traces. "Get up." He walked to the kang and sat down, pointed with his hand, "Is this?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? This is what I told you on the third day of the lunar month, Zhejiang General Huiyu's wife and nv's son."

"Slave Liu Yuezhi, I'll come to the emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long

"Slave Yunling, please come to the emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long

The emperor had long since thrown this matter out of the sky. At this time, after being reminded by the queen, he remembered, "Oh," "Get up and talk. Give him a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them met and stood up, sat down on the embroidery pedestal, and let the man look at it at will.

There is nothing worth seeing in the NV son named Liu Yuezhi. However, the NV son named Yunling attracted the attention of the emperor. She was the same skin as Nai's mother, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her black and white cut-cut pupils were extremely lively. It can be seen that although she sat upright in front of herself and looked cautious in courtesy, she must be a naughty and cute look in front of her parents and in the future in front of her husband.

"Your name is Yunling?

The emperor turned around and picked up the green-headed card with resume written on it to see. Niu Hulu, 18 years old, Manchuria's Red Flag, father Huiyu, is currently the general of Hangzhou.

nv kid's

The name of u is Lingzi, but it is only a word different, but it comes from Yukou, which can also be regarded as a favor and honor. Yun Ling knelt down and said, "I thanked you for your kindness."

Then he remembered that he had remembered it wrong, but the words were the rules and could not be changed. He had to smile bitterly and nodded, "Stand up and take a few steps to show me."

The child knew that he had to look at his walking, get up slowly, and walk slowly. He had been practicing on the bottom of the flower pot for two months, and his posture was carefully corrected by the nanny invited from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He changed his two diseases. First, the body stopped twisting, and second, the swing of his left and right hands was much more restrained. At the same time, with someone's guidance, the size of the cheongsam hem was wide so that the steps could be stretched. In this way, the pace would naturally be steady.

Seeing her walking to the entrance of the warm cupboard and turning back, the emperor reached out to take a cup of ginseng tea handed over by Jingyu and sprinkled it on the way forward.

Yun Ling turned around and saw it, and suddenly remembered the rules she had taught. She thought she had not seen it, and walked past the water stains on the ground as if nothing had happened. She had never avoided the road, nor had she lifted up the corners of her clothes like she was afraid of getting wet and dirty the hem of the cheongsam - this is the ritual.

The emperor smiled and nodded, "Liu Yuezhi?"

"The slave is here."

"No need to be polite." The emperor waved his hand, "The eldest prince is a blessed person. Just look at Ling Ai's face, you can imagine that the young couple will resonate with each other in the future and become harmonious."

"The emperor is good at chanting and praying, and the servant is grateful. The little nv Pu Liu's resources are able to cling to the dragon son, and it is also the honor of the servant and the foolish man's entire mansion. The servant bows to thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the foolish man."

"Yes." The emperor stopped talking and nodded to Concubine Jin, "Let's settle this matter. What do you think?"
