Chapter 2192: Battle of Flowers (100)

   Chapter 2192 Flower War (One Hundred)

  In the forty-fifth year of Qianlong's reign, Zhengyangmen suddenly burst into flames for some unknown reason, destroying the east and west moon walls, official houses, shophouses, and some facilities and shops on the street.

It is the main entrance of the palace, and it is also a major traffic road. If it is not repaired, it will be unsightly. Generally speaking, it is a large-scale maintenance project. It was completed in 2010, but the total cost exceeded the budget, especially the bricks, which exceeded the budget by 30%.

The bricks in the palace, especially the bricks used in the buildings on the central axis of Zhengyangmen are all bricks from Linqing tribute. At the same time, it also left fine and impurity-free river sand with suitable sand viscosity in Linqing. After the river water washes it, it will leave a pattern like lotus petals on the bank, so it is called "lotus soil", and it is used to burn There is a sound when the bricks are knocked, and the bricks used in the echo wall of the Temple of Heaven are also tribute bricks from Linqing.

   But at that time, the shipping cost went up, and the firewood for burning bricks also went up in price, which caused the budget to exceed the standard. This was not a big problem at first. It was normal for prices to rise in the prosperous times, but after the completion of the project, a horizontal crack appeared in the old and new Wengcheng, which scared Ying Lian, who was in charge of the repair.

  In the bad direction, this is an "apocalypse". It was very abnormal to have a fire for no reason. Later, after inspection, it was found that the new Wengcheng did not re-build the foundation, but was made of wood on the original foundation.

Di’anmen, which ordinary people have passed, is not a problem, but Zhengyangmen is often used by emperors. If something goes wrong and collapses, it will be a big deal. So Yinglian made a case, please rebuild the old and new Wengcheng together. , but this cost is borne by Yinglian himself.

When He Shen, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, found out about the incident, he also submitted a document, saying that although Ying Lian was in charge of Zhengyang Gate, his prime minister's projects and all constructions were related to him. The rebuilding should be carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and all expenses shall be borne by Heshen and Yinglian.

  Qianlong's Zhu Pi wrote that Yinglian, Heshen and the engineering supervisor Wailang Xishun were jointly responsible for the compensation. But that's what I said, let's talk about getting the money when it's time for reimbursement.

  Yongrong was going to hand over a memorial to report this matter, and it happened that he used too much force when he practiced archery a few days ago and his hand hurt, so he was responsible for writing the memorial.

First of all, it is not possible to write about this matter by inviting An Zhezi. During the Kangxi period, Jiangning Weaving Cao Fu was "respectfully invited to Saint An" and after reporting the rice harvest and grain price rise in the south of the Yangtze River, "by the way" reported that Li Chenchang, the salt difference between Lianghuai and Huaihe, was in office. On sickness.

   Let’s not mention the question of why the price of grain has risen even after a bumper harvest. It is very unlucky to ask An Zhezi to report his death. These two mistakes can be big or small. Fortunately, Kangxi was in a relationship with the Cao family for many years, and Cao Fu was still an "ignorant child", so Kangxi did not investigate it carefully.

   His Zhu criticism is: I know, the price of rice is still expensive, how to say it is very harvestable, and it is very inappropriate to write the sick person in the affidavit.

  It’s not enough to use secret folding. How big is the conflict between Yongrong and Heshen?

   It's the first time for everyone. Maybe Juren has been brewing for so long and still can't get it out. His expression is like constipation, so Yong Rong just clicked on him.

  When Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he built a lot of palaces, one of which was called Taipingzhuang, which contained the duty room, military aircraft office, etc., as well as the mansion of accompanying officials, and the money there was not calculated.

Qianlong has been in his seventies. When he was young, he had a good appetite. He not only had to eat meat, but also added meals. Now the taste is light, and he eats more vegetables, which are soft and easy to digest, such as eggplant puree and tofu. Farm dishes are also placed on the dining table.

   He does not smoke or drink, but only has a soft spot for tea. The teas before Hongwu in Ming Dynasty were all group teas, which was very troublesome to brew. Even if the emperor did not brew it himself, Zhu Yuanzhang still loved Heya tea, which was simply boiled water to brew tea.

  Nomads love to drink milk tea, and Qianlong sometimes also drank it, but he still prefers to brew it directly after the snow water is boiled.

  The translation says that Qianlong is now pursuing a refreshing and elegant taste, a bit like Emperor Yongzheng, which is completely different from the lively taste when he first ascended the throne.

  Before the feast of the Shangyuan Festival in the fifth year of Qianlong, Zhong Yongtan, the censor of the imperial censor, once suggested not to be so extravagant. The Shangyuan Celebration was a diplomatic affair in which the Qing court attracted foreign vassals and acted as a deterrent to the vassals. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang once hosted a banquet for Turkic envoys at the Danfeng Tower, but the two sides fought because of the seat issue.

It is no longer easy for the envoys of Chaohe to sit there in a proper manner, and sometimes it is necessary to admonish them at banquets when setting up wars. Qianlong spent a lot of energy learning Tibetan, Mongolian, and Hmong after the flat and small Jinchuan. It is impossible to lower the standard on such occasions, so Qianlong used "foreign vassal Mongolia, pilgrimage court, giving banquets and drinking together" as a "shield" and did not adopt Zhong Yongtan's memorial.

  Zhong Yongtan was a jinshi in the first year of Qianlong. He became the target of public criticism because he uncovered the party dispute between Zhang Tingyu and Ertai, and exposed the truth of Wu Shigong's leaked secrets.

   Whistleblowers are annoying everywhere, and whistleblowers are even more annoying. Zhong Yongtan was born in poverty. When he went to Beijing to take the test, his wife steamed a few pots of sorghum steamed buns for him, and a bag full of noodles, as a meal for a journey of thousands of miles. Who knew that when he arrived in the capital, the test period was over, and his pocket There are only two wowotou in the house, and the next imperial examination will have to wait four years.

  Zhong Yongtan was heartbroken, holding his two wows and crying, and happened to be met by Qianlong, who was visiting privately in Weifu.

The private interviews of Qianlong who were fabricated by the people are not all fake. Qianlong saw that scene and moved his heart of sympathy, so Qianlong gave Zhong Yongtan the opportunity to make up the exam. ".

   Like E Shan, he did not participate in the party struggle, but he also became a victim of the party struggle.

Many people know that there is a problem with what Heshen did, but now the problem lies - there is no money to reimburse, Taiping Village where Taipingzhuang Palace is located was called Chencun in the Ming Dynasty, and Qianlong specially changed his name for him, Taiping. . There is also a domino lantern show in the palace. The Shengdan Jingmo in the Liyuan each carries a lantern, and the lantern has a pattern of dominoes, and then changes the formation, forming a formation such as a sky card, an earth card, a human card, etc., singing various Auspicious song.

   "Under 30" is the most ideal state in life, but how many people are so lucky?

   There is also "Drunken Concubine Yang", regardless of why Yang Yuhuan borrowed alcohol to drown his sorrows in "Drunken Concubine", the white and red skin color of the drunken beauty alone is absolutely gorgeous.

There is a variant of Shu tea, also called drunk Yang Fei. It is named after its flower. It is a kind of camellia, but this tea is not in the list of tribute tea, even "reserved" and "going" There are no qualifications, but Qianlong knew that there was this kind of camellia.

   Concubine Yang Gui was called "Jieyuhua" by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. Even if she knew that it was harmful to dote on her alone, she was still doted on by thousands of people. Until the outbreak of the An-Shi Rebellion, people attributed all the faults to her.

   There is a place called the Imperial Order Office, which is referred to as the "Investigation and Handling Office". Cases such as close ministers or special errands are tried and investigated there, and the opinion of conviction is also decided by the emperor.

According to the rules there, a one-year salary penalty for reimbursement delay of more than one month, and a severe penalty for two years, the Taipingzhuang Palace and Zhengyangmen have been completed, and the inspection is no different. For two years, the relevant persons should be fined for one year, and Zhengyangmen should be fined for two years for three years late.

   Zhuren wrote this book, Yong Rong read it once, and handed it in without changing a word. A month later, the red book approved by Emperor Zhu was sent, with only "I know, I appreciate it".

   With this discount, Yong Rong can use the authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deduct and Shen's salary, or not. There is a saying, "Take a chicken feather as an arrow". The **** owed usurious loans and did not repay the money. The moneylenders actually chased after Di'anmen.

There is also a saying, "Take the dog to see the owner". It is only natural for you to repay your debts. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs may not go to the shop operated by your family to buy things. It can also warn other people who have business dealings with you to immediately collect debts and transfer working capital. All swept away, leaving a pile of unsellable goods.

   Those guards usually have nothing to do. They sit at your pawnshop every three days to see if there are any robbers from the palace in your storeroom. If you come three times a month, you can't do this business.

   Even if the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty were not like the "Chang Gong" of the Ming Dynasty, you still have an absolutely reasonable appeal, "to forgive people and forgive them". There is a kind of woman who looks like this. She dresses up beautifully and looks like she is sensible, but she is just like the shrew who is scolding the streets. She doesn't scold people herself, and there are people around her who are like mandarin ducks trying to please her servants, or they feel that she is judging and scolding people on the side of the rational side. If she is unfortunate enough to become a "mother-in-law", the family's My daughter-in-law was having a hard time.

  The daughter-in-law doesn't care. She can't argue if she wants to. The key is that the "mother-in-law" still looks like "I'm always right". There is also a pointed armor on her little finger, which looks like sharp claws.

   I would rather offend the gentleman than the villain. After the memorial was written, the emperor also knew it, so there was nothing to do. During that time, he did not look at the memorial in the inventory. He went back to the temple to read "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Not long after, Jin Jian sent someone, saying that there was a vacant room and it was newly built. Last time, the Zhengyang Gate was burned down and rebuilt, and Fu Jin gave him another maid. It was inconvenient for the maid to live in the temple, so he was there. There is a "home" there.

   "Thirty Dissatisfied Tanhua Lang", the situation of people is different, Heshen married the daughter of a great scholar, but he only "attacks people".

   Later, "Xiren" disappeared, and "Baoyu" realized his remorse. He didn't live in the temple, but rented a house that was about to collapse, and there was a hanged ghost in it.

There are many situations in which ghosts look for substitutes. Some are drowned, and some are eaten by tigers and become a kind of ghost called "Ghost Ghost". To lure people to eat for the tiger, as a substitute for yourself.

There is a tiger city in the northwest of Taiye Lake. There are many tigers in it. Kangxi likes to fight when he is hunting. If you are not careful, you will be bitten to death.

   In the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, a tiger military academy was bitten to death by a tiger. Fulongan wrote a document asking for compensation, and he only paid 32 taels in total.

   There was a monk in Cangzhou who claimed to have the art of calling for wind and rain, subduing dragons and subduing tigers, and was caught in the capital as a member of the demon party. At that time, hundreds of people were dispatched to arrest him. He wrote a letter to Yong Rong in prison, and then he was thrown into the Tiger City to fight the tiger alone.

Wu Song was the Jingyanggang Tiger who was beaten after drinking. This monk was also bare-handed, but he did not rely on alcohol to strengthen his courage. For a while, the wind and tiger shadows in the field. From the day to the evening, both the monk and the tiger were exhausted, but neither kill each other.

  Then the monk went to Nianhua Temple beside Shichahai to be the host.

In the Ming Dynasty, Nianhua Temple was called Huguo Baoen Qianfo Temple. It was built by Feng Bao, the **** of the Li Supervisor, on the order of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding. It was built to worship a monk from the Western Regions. The World Honored Vilu on the lotus seat, there are thousands of lotus flowers around the Buddha seat, and each one has a Buddha image.

  When Emperor Yongzheng changed its name to Nianhua Temple, the Buddha statues in the temple have been demolished and moved to Baita Temple and Fayuan Temple, and replaced by eighteen statues of Arhats and twenty-four statues of heaven.

I didn't think about it before, but now I think about it. With the ability of "Fuhu Arhat", he would not be caught so "easy". If he wanted to run after entering Nianhua Temple, there would be no guards around. That was easy too, but he didn't run. Like an ordinary monk, he eats fast food and recites Buddha in the temple, even if the incense is not prosperous, he is not in a hurry.

  Nianhua Temple is not far from the Taoist temple of Huoshenjun, and you can see the legendary "haunted" temple on the other side, where the "contemporary" of Juren lived in the past.

  Thanks to him reading at night with the light on, instead of going to bed early, only to realize that the light had turned green, and then he ran all night, but the one who lived next door was not so lucky.

There is a folklore in Fuyang, Zhejiang, that there is a dragon, who was sentenced to be executed by the Jade Emperor because of a mistake. A monk from a certain place learned the news together, took a bowl to collect the dragon's blood, sealed its mouth, and placed it under the Buddha table. On the night of the forty-eighth day, the two of them suddenly left, warning the monks and Taoists not to open it. .

   Immediately after, he reached out and dipped into the dragon's blood, and brought up a cold sword, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

In addition to being the God of Wealth and Wealth, Guan Gong also has the role of keeping the house. He is different from the door god. The door **** treats the evil spirits as outside, so he sticks it on the door. Knives, Guan Gong who holds a knife does not attract money, Guan Gong in the town house must have a knife.

  I don't know what kind of evildoer Shichahai got into, and it's also related to human skin. Could it be that the mandrill went to the Pichang Temple and stole the human skin to wear?

   The demonic qi became heavy, and the Zhengyang Gate ignited. The royal relatives who lived around would definitely not believe it. After all, they were ordinary people and could not see the demonic qi rising to the sky, and the location where the Zhengyang Gate was split happened to be the gunhole in the south.

Juren is also old, and the matter of subjugating demons and eliminating demons is still left to young people. He has not yet figured out the temper of Emperor Jiaqing. This memorial must be handed in as soon as possible. , so, can't delay any longer.
