Chapter 202 Dare to say that the emperor is a Huer!
Capital.
Forbidden City, Yangxin Hall.
Ying Lian, the Minister of Political Affairs, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and also in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is reporting to the emperor this year's expenditures of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It turns out that the national treasury is insufficient. He also wants to urge Agui to march and end the Jinchuan War as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to finance the protracted period.
maintain.
"When it comes to using troops, be careful not to rush them. The former Ming Dynasty governor Hong Chengchou Songshan was defeated by our Qing army, which is why Chongzhen pushed too hastily."
Qianlong objected to urging Agui. Although he was eager to regain Xiaojinchuan, he was well aware of the dangers of using troops. If the urging of troops led to a hasty deployment of troops and a major defeat, the consequences would be far more terrible than the countless daily consumption of money and food.
"Ying Lian, I asked you to take charge of the household affairs, just to let you do it. But if it can solve the urgent needs of the court, you can handle it as appropriate without asking me."
Qianlong was admiring his favorite "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Yinglian would be troubled by him. After thinking about it, he said to Yinglian: "When I went to Jiangnan two years ago, Lu Shaoxu received me very well.
"
Lu Shaoxu was a leading salt merchant in Yangzhou. When Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he received him at his family's residence. He also donated huge sums of money to the emperor during his trip to the south of the Yangtze River. When he returned to Beijing, the emperor specially rewarded him with a yellow mantle, which became a legend.
But after two years, why did the emperor mention Lu Shaoxu again?
After Ying Lian resigned, he returned to his ministry to write the Lianghuai Salt Administration and inspect the Lu family, so that the ill-gotten wealth of the Lu family could be returned to the state and benefit the people.
As soon as he left, his grandson-in-law He Shen hurried into the Yangxin Palace holding a secret box.
Not long after, Qianlong's angry curses came from the palace.
"The Great Dao is gone, who can maintain it? We, the Qing Dynasty, dominate the world, so why should the Great Dao decline? How can we use others to maintain it! This Qian Jun deserves to be killed!"
After seeing Jia Jiashikai's exposure of Sichuan's chief envoy Qian Yun's secret betrayal, Qianlong felt as if he was offended. He was instantly furious and frightened Heshen. Ji Yun, a bachelor who was admiring Wang Xizhi's calligraphy with the emperor, hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Ji Xiaolan, what do you mean by Chang Ming Ning Yi De?"
Qianlong handed the secret to Ji Yun, "What else is short hair and long regrets?"
Ji Yun was confused and hurriedly looked at the secret fold, and his brows were furrowed for a moment.
"I will treat him well with this money, and I will not be biased because of his position as a leader. Let him be the governor of a province, which can be said to be a prominent minister of the border. How can he miss the past Ming Dynasty and curse this dynasty for forcing him to shave his head!"
In anger, Qianlong paced up and down the jade steps with his hands behind his back.
Ji Yun didn't dare to speak, so he quietly handed the secret fold to He Shen to look at, and the latter's expression changed after seeing it.
The words long bright and short hair are really taboo.
There seems to be no problem with the sentence "Let's ask people to divine peace", but there is a problem with Jia Jia Shikai's annotation, implying that Qian Jun meant that today is not peaceful, otherwise what is the use of divination?
In addition to his poems implying dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty, Qian Yun's annotations of other people's articles actually also contained evil intentions.
For example, there is an annotation on the Great Rebellion and Unrighteousness in "Lun on the Relocation of the Rong" written by Jiang Tong, a doctor of the Jin Dynasty.
In the book "On the Migration of the Rong", Jiang Tong, in view of the gradual migration of the Qiang and Di people who originally lived in the northwest at that time into the Central Plains, suggested that they be moved back to their original places so that "the Rong and Jin are not mixed, and each can find his own place."
This proposal was not adopted by the Jin regime.
Qian Jun arbitrarily criticized this, saying that at that time, "all the officials in the court were just slaves and pig eyes, and they did not use Jiang Tong's theory, which led to the disaster of Wuhu".
Jia Jiashikai received this annotation and claimed that Qian Jun's words Wu Hu and Rong Di mirrored those of the Qing Dynasty. He also expressed his opinion that the words "Lu" and "Hu" should not be preceded by the name of the country of the dynasty.
He said this in his secret book: During the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, there were constant wars on the frontiers, and they often referred to countries that could not surrender as captives. But Manchuria originally lived on the coast of the East China Sea. If we say that the people of the East Yi have nothing to do
No, it would be a big mistake to say they were captives.
"Now that all the people of the Qing Dynasty are all subjects of the Qing Dynasty, even the poor and remote people cannot bear to regard them as captives. How can we add the word "captive" to our Manchu clan? I think that Qian Yun, as the governor of a province, openly despises our Manchurians, which is unfair.
I am disrespectful to the Qing Dynasty..."
Finally, Jia Jiashikai believed that the war in Jinchuan had not been settled for many years. It was not because the rebels were good at fighting, but because there were many officials who collaborated with the enemy, especially those who harbored evil intentions. Therefore, the court should be asked to strictly clean up and clean up the middle of Shu. Such a war could be avoided.
Quick decision.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's inappropriate for me to conclude that a province's political leader is collaborating with the enemy based on just a few verses of poetry?"
What Ji Yun said is fair. Those lines that seemed to express dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty were all extracted from a certain poem by Jia Jiashikai. There is nothing wrong with using it in the original poem. Forcibly extracting it refers to Qian Yun's secret intentions.
To be contrary, it is indeed a bit far-fetched.
Furthermore, Qian Jun's occasional annotations on his readings were based on the situation at the time and did not reflect the current dynasty, so he cannot be found guilty.
In particular, it would be ridiculous to say that the words "Ming" and "Ming" in Qian Jun's "Collected Poems of Yi Ming" are homophonic, referring to Qian Jun's "recalling the Ming Dynasty".
If this is also guilty, wouldn't it provide some villains with the opportunity to take revenge for personal gain? As long as they rack their brains to find words and sentences in the other party's poems and frame them, the prison case will be completed.
From now on, who will dare to write or speak?
He Shen didn't say anything, but just glanced at Ji Yun, knowing that he had said the wrong thing again.
Sure enough, the furious emperor heard what Academician Ji said and roared angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you prostitute? Why don't you go to Nayili!"
Six years ago, Ji Yun's in-laws, Lu Jian, the former salt transport envoy to the Huaihe River, had committed corruption. Ji Yun, as his in-laws, protected him. After the censor exposed it, Qianlong was furious and removed him from his post and sent him to Urumqi to atone for his crime. He was summoned three years later.
return.
Ji Yun screamed and was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed. After kowtowing for more than a dozen times, Qianlong slightly snorted: "That's enough."
Then he looked at Heshen who was silent and asked, "Heshen, what do you think of this matter?"
"Replying to the emperor, I think what Jia Jiashikai said is reasonable."
"oh?"
Qianlong asked Heshen to explain the truth.
"One of the poems in the collected works written by Qian Jun is disrespectful to our government. He has been the governor of Sichuan for many years, and the war has always been uncertain... I think that there may not be some dirty things in it. The lesson learned by Zhang Guangsi is not far away."
Heshen expressed his feelings toward the great alliance Qianlong, and immediately asked Ji Yun to draft the edict, saying: "Qian Yun has lost all conscience and destroyed the laws of heaven. He is really intolerable. I asked the governor of Sichuan to investigate Qian Yun and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment for serious investigation."
Thousands of miles away, Xiaozhai.
Jia Liu frowned because he didn't know how to deal with Chang Qing, the admiral of Yunnan, so that his father-in-law could successfully lead the army.
There are less than ten days left before Agui's full-scale offensive.
Shuan Zhu, who had returned from dealing with Yongtai, ran over to ask for the reward, but when he saw the young master looking worried, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, what happened again?"
Jia Liu told the story.
Shuan Zhu thought for a while and said: "Master, wait for me!"
After saying that, he ran back to his "office".
Jia Liu wondered why this guy was going, and Shuan Zhu ran back after a while, holding in his hand a collection of writings by Shu Chang, the vice-capital of Manchuria.
"Master, if we can't solve Chang Qing, let's just solve the three Manchurian vice-captains. Well, Shu Chang has a problem."
"ah?"
Jia Liu stared blankly as Shuan Zhu turned to the seventh page, where there was a sentence called "Hu'er gallops on the grassland."
"What's wrong with Mongolians riding horses?" Jia Liu wondered.
"Master, Shu often calls Mongolians Hu'er, which is inappropriate, very inappropriate!"
Yang Zhi snorted, "I, the Qing Dynasty, are from a Manchu and Mongolian family. He Shu often said that the Mongolians are Hu'er. Doesn't he mean that the young master, the Manchu prince-in-law, is a Hu'er? What's more, the emperor is also a Hu'er!"
