Separated from the Yangxin Hall by a wall, on the north side of Longzong Gate is the military supply room.
Yin issued a strict order early in the morning: the military supply house is an important place for military affairs, and the emperor, princes and ministers are not allowed to enter without special orders.
In addition, when he summoned the military minister, the eunuchs were not allowed to be at the side, in front of the curtains, outside the windows, or under the steps, and no idlers were allowed to peek.
In order to completely maintain the confidentiality of military affairs, Yin also ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to send one Manchu and Han censor each to patrol the military quarters and the duty room every day, day and night.
He even issued a very iron-fisted and Yongzheng decree. Anyone who steps up to the military base in a heavily military base will be beheaded!
At this time, he stood up from the table of papers piled up in the Yangxin Hall. It was already very late at night. He thought of the military affairs he had just delivered, and immediately ordered someone to summon the important ministers to the military supply room.
The stars all over the sky sprinkled on the sky like broken silver.
Su Peisheng followed Yin silently.
He looked at the emperor's face: the emperor's lips were straight and angular, and his facial features were clear, but his face was tired, his cheeks were thin, and his eyes were dark and blue.
Su Peisheng wanted to persuade the emperor to take care of the dragon body and place it earlier, but the words had already reached his throat and he swallowed it again.
He knew very well that if this man wanted to do something, no one in the world could stop him.
Since the beginning of Yin's accession to the throne, he has been in urgent need of governance and Qian Gang is arbitrary, so he requires that the munitions room must be quickly connected to the Yangxin Hall, and there must be a special passage to the Yangxin Hall next to the munitions room.
This road passes through the palace wall, passes the imperial dining room, and leads directly to the Yangxin Hall. It is a secret passage that only Yin can walk.
In fact, it is not impossible to discuss military affairs in Yangxin Hall: Xinuang Pavilion is a very suitable place.
But whenever it comes to military affairs on the two fronts in the northwest, Yin, who is cautious by nature and does everything right, often chooses to go to the military quarters on his own.
Because the emperor was shouting urgently, it was still some distance before the ministers arrived from the outer palace. Before the ministers arrived, the maids had already quietly prepared the meals, fruit bait, ice melon, and herbal tea prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Sent up.
On the long table under the porch, there are four thermoses placed on the bottom, which are heated with open charcoal. Inside are fragrant small sesame cakes. They are exquisite and exquisite, and the size is just right for one's mouth. They will not be full of crumbs and stain the clothes.
The sesame cakes are available in both sweet and salty flavors. When the ministers come, if the emperor's summons is urgent and you haven't eaten dinner yet, you can take one or two to fill your stomach first.
Since it was night government affairs, there was also a very exquisite small tea banquet sent from the imperial dining room of Jingyunmen, which had been prepared in the military quarters room. I was afraid that the emperor and the ministers were discussing late at night, and they were empty and needed some food.
Talk while eating.
During this waiting time, Yin looked up and looked at the military supply room he had built. It was a large room made up of five hanging huts on the top of the mountain. There was also an empty courtyard with a small door. Compared with the palace of the emperor and queen,
It really looks shabby.
If you only look at it from the appearance, it is difficult to associate it with the power center of the empire.
However, Yin was low-key and disliked publicity. This simple and pragmatic military supply house suited his temperament.
He made a fist with his right hand and tapped it lightly on the heart of his left hand. This was an unconscious action.
At the same time, he looked up at the plaque on the wall which was inscribed in his imperial book, "One Hall Harmony". These four words were strong and soft, majestic, and quite full of the emperor's desire to overpower the strong.
Yinzi admired his own ink, and he felt a little emotional: The four words "harmony in one room" were not written down casually.
Because during this period Ertai and Zhang Tingyu were very difficult to deal with, and they argued three or four times in front of the emperor.
Both of them were left and right arms, and their palms and backs were full of flesh. They couldn't laugh or cry, so Yin had no choice but to write these four words.
Although Zhang Tingyu has a gentle temper, he is not pedantic. He is also very flexible in doing things and knows how to be resourceful. He is praised by everyone in the court.
Yin still remembers an interesting story he heard from Huang Ama when he was a child. The home of Zhang Ying, a great scholar in the Kangxi Dynasty and a Han minister, was in Tongcheng, Anhui Province. One year, the Zhang family and the leader of the Zhang family fought for land to build a house and got into trouble.
The flying dogs were jumping around and it was so noisy.
As a result, the family members were so angry that they wrote a letter and complained directly to Zhang Ying, Zhang Tingyu's father, who was a bachelor in the imperial court, asking Zhang Ying to support them as a senior official in the imperial court.
After Zhang Ying, a bachelor, read this letter from his hometown, he didn't say much, and only replied with a poem: A letter from home thousands of miles away is only for a wall, so why not let it be three feet high! The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen."
After the family received Zhang Ying's letter, although they were not happy, they still voluntarily gave up the three feet of land according to his wishes.
As a result, the neighbor felt very guilty and gave up three feet of land.
As a result, the neighbors became harmonious and reconciled, and a six-foot-wide road was opened between the two houses, which became the "Six-foot Alley", which became a legend for a time.
Think about it, what kind of temperament would a son Zhang Tingyu raised by such a father have?
Therefore, a gentle and gentlemanly person like Zhang Tingyu could be so excited by Ertai that he blushed and started arguing in the hall, and more than once! It can be seen that Ertai...
When Yin thought of this, he patted his forehead helplessly: He had a bad headache!
Not long after, people came one by one, including the great scholar Zhang Tingyu, Ertai, the minister of bodyguards Malantai, and the minister of war Xinggui.
Although the appointment of the minister of munitions room mainly depends on the personal relationship with the emperor, regardless of family background, only close friends are used. But who can climb to the emperor's side and be trusted by the emperor as a close friend, who is not a loyal minister who has already established a firm foothold?
The four of them stood up and waited in the curtain hall of the munitions room according to the rules. The leader of the bodyguard, Malantai, and the Minister of War, Xinggui, looked at each other silently, and separated Zhang Tingyu and Ortai in a tacit understanding.
When Yin came out, several people kowtowed, and the emperor naturally asked him to give him a seat.
Yin glanced at the expressions on the four people's faces and knew what was being discussed today. He was afraid that Ertai would face Zhang Tingyu with some subtle provocations and accusations.
He coughed and prepared to give the four of them a shake first.
Yin slowly started talking about it during the Kangxi period, when he was Prince Yong and often talked about Buddhist matters. The topic then went on to mention the past three years since he ascended the throne.
"Three years after I came to the throne, I have not said a single Buddhist sermon in front of you. Do you know why?" He asked the four of them.
The four of them looked at each other, and Ertai cupped his hands and said, "I don't know."
Zhang Tingyu also said: "I don't know the truth."
Yin smiled, tapped his thumb on the table slightly, and said: "The Buddha is me, I am the Buddha, I have the Buddha in my heart, so why talk about Buddhist things anymore?"
He paused and said: "As a human being, as long as you look up at the sky when you go out in the morning, and touch your heart with your hands when you go to bed at night, you will be a human being!"
Ertai was stunned by the emperor's words. Zhang Tingyu was working as a secretary after all. He always had a delicate and delicate mind. With a click, he already understood the emperor's meaning and looked up at the sky? What sky was he looking at?
God is the emperor!
What the emperor meant was to hammer himself and Ertai: When discussing military affairs, you must put the interests of the monarchy and the country first, look up to the sky, have the emperor in your heart, be loyal to the emperor, unite sincerely, and do not allow internal strife. Do not be like before.
There were endless arguments in front of the emperor several times.
This is already the emperor, and there is a hint of deterrence.
