Qing Dynasty, Regent's Palace
At this moment, Dorgon was sitting on a pearwood chair covered with bamboo mats, with a majestic expression on his face. He looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, Kong Youde, and asked, "Are you a descendant of Shenggong Kong Yan?"
There seemed to be a hint of crying in Kong Youde's voice as he shouted: "The young one is the descendant of the Kong family, the regent. I think the Han court is unjust and unjustly imprisoned and harmed my father. Please ask the regent to make the decision for the Kong family."
Dorgon nodded, with an aggressive look in his eyes, and said: "We, the Qing Dynasty, are a country of destiny and have always admired the sages of the Confucius family. Now, that big man is unethical. After killing the sages, he should be punished by the people and punished. Now he still invites Brother Kong to be here. I serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty."
The six ministries of the Qing Dynasty had Manchu and Han ministers, ministers, etc., and Han ministers were also among them.
As Dorgon spoke, he cast a pair of majestic eyes on Kong Youde and said: "The descendants of the Kong family should be calm for the time being. They will settle down in Shengjing first. After I report to the emperor, I will rectify the name of the Kong family and grant posthumous titles."
This was just in time to suppress the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the minds of scholars all over the world.
As he spoke, Dorgon looked at the housekeeper beside him and said: "The mansion not far from the Rites Yamen was originally the mansion of Prince Su Hauge. Let it be vacated and kept clean so that the Kong family can go there together."
The butler said yes.
Then, Kong Youde bowed and said, "I would like to thank the regent."
"Let's not rush into revenge for now. There is something I need your help with now," Dorgon said.
Kong Youde cupped his hands and said: "Prince Regent, I have little training in martial arts, but I can also lead troops to fight. If the Prince Regent orders me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Dorgon nodded slightly and said: "It's good if you have this kind of heart. We have so many fierce generals in the Qing Dynasty. There is no need for the descendants of Yan Shenggong to go into battle and fight with the enemy."
When Kong Youde heard this, he couldn't say much else, so he had to hand it over and say yes.
When Kong Youde was led away by the housekeeper at Dorgon's house, a look of thoughtfulness appeared on Dorgon's face.
Immediately, Dorgon looked at Chen Yuan aside, pondered for a moment, and said: "King Zhao, you should have some understanding of the current situation in the court. If you want to avenge the shame of Shandong and avenge Prince Su, but you have no time to care, Now the Qing Dynasty still needs to send troops to conquer the Japanese country, and has no time to fight with the Han court on the nine sides."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said: "Prince Regent, there are still many secrets in the Han court, which are enough to destroy the prestige of the Han emperor. Xiao Ke's intention is to help the regent deal with the Han court."
Now that the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect has been destroyed in Shandong, Chen Yuan doesn't have many chips to exchange with Dorgon. At this moment, he not only keeps his attitude low, but also actively comes up with such an idea to ruin the reputation of the Han Dynasty. This is undoubtedly Playing right into Dorgon's hands.
Dorgon thought for a while, nodded, and asked: "Then later, I will send someone to contact King Zhao to see how to prepare for this matter, and then discuss other matters."
When Chen Yuan heard this, he raised his hands and said yes.
Then, without saying much, he left Dorgon's house.
After a few people left, the solemn look on Dorgon's face did not diminish at all because of the ensuing public opinion war.
Why did everything go wrong in the Qing Dynasty and the world was in trouble as long as they fell in love with Jia Heng, the Duke of Wei?

Shenjing, Grand View Garden, Qichiyuan
Jia Heng chatted with Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi for a while, then gently took Yaruo's slender hand and whispered: "Sister Yaruo, you might as well stay in the house for a few more days and wait."
Yaruo softly said "Hmm", nestled her head in Jia Heng's arms, and said, "Brother Heng, why don't I go with Brother Heng? I won't cause any trouble to Brother Heng."
Jia Heng said loudly: "There are many inconsistencies in the battle on the front line. Sister Yaruo must not follow us."
I'm afraid that when he goes to check the border, Yaruo hangs on him like a koala again. At that time, his reputation as a womanizer will really spread among the army, and it will also affect his career in the army. prestige among people.
Zhen Lan said: "Yes, sister Yaruo, brother Heng is busy with business this time."
Yaruo said "Yeah" softly. Although she felt a little unhappy, she could only let Jia Heng hold her shoulder gently.
From a girl's perspective, Jia Heng is naturally her only lover. As for others, they are nothing. This is the love of girls of this age, pure and flawless, with only her lover in her eyes and nothing else.
Jia Heng smiled, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Yaruo's plump face, and asked, "Did your father write you a letter?"
At this moment, being kissed in front of Zhen Lan, Yaruo's cheeks as white as snow, with the sides as red as red Fuji apples, said softly: "Daddy said that in one month, I will be from Duogansi." came back."
Jia Heng nodded and said loudly: "Heshuote people have become much more honest recently, and they are clearly still licking their wounds recently."
Yaruo's black grape-like eyes contained traces of curiosity, and she said, "Brother Heng will also lead an expedition to Heshuote in the future?"
Looking at the girl with a lively and bright temperament, Jia Heng's bright eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows showed a bit of affection, and he said in a clear voice: "When the situation in Liaodong is settled, we should conquer Junggar and Heshuote and recover the two places."
Ya Ruo said: "He Shuote? At that time, my father could also help Brother Heng."
Jia Heng nodded, gently put his arm around the girl's shoulders, and said, "I know."
Zhen Lan looked at the young man holding Ya Ruo's shoulder thoughtfully, and thought to herself that when the critical moment comes in the future, that King Meng will also be able to help Heng.
With this thought, Zhen Lan smiled and said softly: "Brother Heng, I'm staying with sister Xi'er today. Brother Heng, please talk to Ya Ruo."
No matter what, let Brother Heng and Ya Ruosheng cook the cooked rice first, so that we can be safer.
After saying that, he took Zhen Xi's fair and tender hands and walked to the inner compartment, which made Zhen Xi feel a little embarrassed.
At this moment, only Jia Heng and Ya Ruo were left in the wing room. At this moment, the candlesticks on the desks were swaying and dancing. The candlelight was as orange as water, fluttering on a glass screen, vivid and lively. It's like a shadow puppet show.
Jia Heng looked at Ya Ruo under his sharp eyebrows, gently pinched the little girl's delicate and smooth chin, and said softly: "Ya Ruo, please rest early."
He felt that Yaruo was still young and had no intention of bullying her.
"Brother Heng, eh~" Yaruo met the young man's gaze, her heart beating wildly. Before she could finish speaking, she saw the young man approaching, and then there was a burst of breath that made her blush. Come.
After a while, Ya Ruo followed Jia Heng to the side room. The two of them took off their clothes, got on the bed, and covered themselves with a pair of brocade quilts.
At this moment, in the wing room, the lights were already burning, and as the evening breeze of summer night blew into the room, they were already beating.
Yaruo stared at the young man, his round face like a red Fuji apple was as red as drunk because he was filled with joy.
Jia Heng gently twisted the lid of the teapot and lowered his head to taste the fragrant tea.
Ya Ruoying's brows were full of energy, her eyes sparkling, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Yaruo is still young, so it's not too late to wait another year and a half."
Under her curved eyebrows, Yaruo looked at the young man with watery eyes and said, "Brother Heng, don't you like me?"
Jia Heng said: "How could you not like it?"
"Brother Heng, obviously..." the girl said, her delicate hands seemed to have been burned, and she quickly retracted her hands. Her black grape-like eyes were full of glimmering light, and her plump skin cheeks were as red as clouds.
Jia Heng reached out and gently stroked the girl's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Okay, sister Yaruo is still young."
In fact, a young girl like Yaruo doesn't have any good experiences at all.
"But... Brother Keheng is obviously already here." Yaruo mumbled with a blush on her face.
"It's nothing." As Jia Heng spoke, he whispered a few words in Yaruo's ear, but he didn't know what he said.
Under Ya Ruo's beautiful eyebrows, she was dumbfounded, obviously surprised by the young man's words.
This...is this to please Brother Heng?
Immediately, he let out a soft "hmm", and then, his rosy cheeks like Fuji apples turned red with shame. Without saying anything else, he suddenly got his head into the bed.
Under Jia Heng's eyebrows that were like a cold blade, his clear eyes focused and dispersed. He couldn't help but think of something on his mind, secretly thinking that the girls on the grassland were indeed different. In their tenderness and considerateness, they all had the unusual experience of Central Plains women.
Of course, it may be that you are just starting to practice, and the unfamiliar and inexperienced aspects may not be interesting at all.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jia Heng handed the handkerchief to Yaruo, who was blushing and coughing, and said in a warm voice: "Okay, Yaruo, wipe it quickly."
Under Ya Ruoying's elegant brows, her black grape-like eyes seemed to have a hazy mist, and she asked again: "Brother Heng, when will you marry me?"
She and Brother Heng can be considered husband and wife from now on.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "When the period of national mourning is over, I will marry sister Yaruo."
I really asked him three times a day, Brother Heng, when will you marry me?
When will you marry me?
I'm really anxious to ask.
The bridal chamber is today!
Just like that, Jia Heng gently stroked Ya Ruo's snow-white and round shoulders, saying nothing else, thinking about the future in his eyes.
So, the night was long and there was no more words to say.
…
…
The years pass by, and the seasons flow by.
When Jia Heng was lingering among the flowers in the Grand View Garden in the capital, immersed in the fragrance of makeup and powder, in a blink of an eye, it was July 20, the seventeenth year of Chongping. Suddenly, it was finally the time for Jia Heng to go with the King of Wei. The day of border inspection.
Emperor Chongping appointed Jia Heng, Grand Master and Minister of Military Affairs, as the Duke of Wei, to inspect all the nine borders. Together with the deputy inspector, King Wei, he went to the north to inquire about border affairs, supervise new policies, military affairs and garrison affairs, and had the power to act expeditiously.
On this day, Jia Heng, King Chen Ran of Wei, and Qiu Liang, the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, as well as Jia Fang, a young general from the Beijing camp, and others gathered at Shili Pavilion in front of the east gate of Shenjing City, ready to go.
The flags were pinned to the knight's back at the moment, swaying in the wind and making a hunting sound.
During this inspection of border affairs, Jia Heng brought a total of 300 Jinyi Ti cavalry and 200 guards from the Beijing camp with him for guard of honor and security purposes.
King Wei also led two hundred knights, closely following him. The marching team at this moment was quite majestic.
At this moment, in the eastern sky, the golden morning light dews slightly, the grass grows long and warblers fly, and the old willow branches on the Ba Bridge are lush and lush, swaying in the spring breeze, and then nearly a thousand The cavalry surrounded Jia Heng and Wei Wang Chen Ran, and headed towards the capital of Peiping, Juan Jia.
Jia Heng’s first stop was naturally Taiyuan, an important town in Shanxi.
This border town has been replaced by a new commander-in-chief named Xiang Bin since the former commander-in-chief Wang Chengyin and deputy commander-in-chief Shang Zhonggang were killed by Jia Heng.
Previously, Xiang Bin served as the commander of the Shanxi capital and commanded the troops of the Shanxi Guard. Recently, on the recommendation of Li Zan, Emperor Chongping appointed him to be the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan army.
At this moment, there are about 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, guarding the land of Jinzhong, and shouldering the important task of guarding the gateway to Guanzhong.
In fact, Jia Heng did not want to promote generals who came from Beijing camp, such as Xie Jing was now in Ping'an Prefecture and Wang Ziteng was in Xuanfu. However, so many of the border generals were recommended by Jia Men, who cultivated party members. Things are too obvious.
With hundreds of thousands of border troops listening to the command from a distance, plus one or two hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, Emperor Chongping was afraid that he would have trouble sleeping and eating.
Letting some generals discovered and promoted by Li Zan, the chief minister of the cabinet, to serve as local military generals was obviously Emperor Chongping's check and balance strategy.
At this moment, when they heard that Jia Heng and Wei Wang Chen Ran were visiting Shanxi, military and political officials from Shanxi Province came to greet them outside the city gate.
Shanxi Governor Gu Binghe, Taiyuan Magistrate Jiang Yan, Shanxi Chief Envoy Luo Jingwen, and Shanxi Inspector Liang Tingbao all came forward and saluted the young man in the python suit and the King of Wei and others.
Xiang Bin led a group of soldiers to welcome him out of the city. He looked up at the young man in the python suit, clasped his fists and said, "I have met Duke Wei, His Highness the King of Wei."
Jia Heng's face was as indifferent as frost. He nodded towards the generals, reached out to support Xiang Bin's arm, and said loudly: "Commander Xiang, please get up quickly."
Xiang Bin looked respectful, stretched out his hand to invite, and said: "Dong Wei, Your Highness the King of Wei, this is not the place to talk. Please come to the Yamen to talk."
Jia Heng nodded and followed King Wei towards the General Military Office.
At this moment, the scribes and officials in the yamen were all waiting in line outside. Those who had not seen Jia Heng were all looking at the young man in the python suit, secretly thinking that the young man's appearance was too young.
While Jia Heng was talking, he entered a hall with a wooden screen and sat on a pearwood chair beside a small table. He held a cup of fragrant tea in his hand. The fragrance of tea curled up, making people feel calm.
Jia Heng asked: "How many soldiers are currently registered in Taiyuan Yamen?"
At this moment, Xiang Bin cupped his hands and said: "Duke Wei, this is the summary of Taiyuan's military registration. Taiyuan currently has 68,000 troops and horses, all of which are fully paid. There are 13,000 troops and horses..."
Listening to what Xiang Bin said, Jia Heng nodded and motioned to Li Shu on the side to take the booklet from Xiang Bin's hand, put it in his own hand, and lowered his eyes to read through it.
Xiang Bin felt a little uneasy, especially when he heard the "swishing" sound of the pages turning, he was even more worried about the young powerful man in front of him. With a sudden order, the soldiers on both sides could capture him and tie him up.
After all, I had seen the majestic power of the Duke in front of me.
King Wei Chen Ran raised his sword eyebrows, with a look of hope in his eyes, and said, "Zi Yu, how are you?"
Jia Heng handed the book in his hand to Wei Wang Chen Ran, smiled and said: "Your Highness, please take a look at it now. This is the situation of General Dingkou in Taiyuan Town."
Basically, there is no big problem. The bones of Wang Chengyin and his son are still cold, and the Taiyuan General Military Office, which has just been reorganized, will no longer engage in corruption and deprivation of soldiers' pay.
Wei Wang Chen Ran also picked up a book at this moment and flipped through it. After all, he had developed some eyesight in the military aircraft department. At this moment, he could also see many things. Seeing the records of grain, livestock and young men, he nodded secretly. .
After the two of them had seen it, neither of them said anything. Xiang Bin let out a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said: "Duke Wei, His Highness the King of Wei has been traveling all the way. The general has prepared wine and dishes at the Zuixian Restaurant in the city. Please come with me."
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, King Wei, please stop.
Then, everyone strode into the government office where a banquet was held, accepted the congratulations from Xiang Bin and other Taiyuan general military officials, and sat down, while Shanxi officials accompanied them.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Shanxi Governor Gu Binghe and asked, "Gu Zhongcheng, how are you sorting out the recent new policies in Shanxi Province?"
Gu Binghe smiled and said: "Since Mr. Li Ge came to Shanxi, all acres of land have been cleared in the province. The implementation of the New Deal is in full swing. This year's autumn grain is expected to be collected more."
The chief envoy Luo Jingwen also smiled and said: "Shanxi will have good weather this year, and all disasters are being dealt with."
Jia Heng nodded and said in a clear voice: "The merits of the New Deal are related to the great plan of rejuvenating the national society. Shanxi must act prudently and cannot use the name of the New Deal to abuse the people. Otherwise, the officials of the DPRK and Zhongke Dao will correct the situation." Impeachment of ethics will never tolerate adultery!"
It is impossible for someone who does bad things with good intentions to not be punished and blamed.
Gu Binghe and Luo Jingwen nodded and said yes again and again.
Afterwards, everyone sat down to eat together.
After having a meal with the Shanxi military and political officials, Jia Heng returned to the post house and sat down again.
King Wei said: "There is no big problem in Taiyuan."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Taiyuan had a lot of problems before. After killing the chief and deputy generals, things changed. But in the future, we must be vigilant. Taiyuan is not an important border town. It is rare to face the enemy directly, so General It easily breeds laziness.”
King Wei nodded and said, "What Zi Yu said is true."
This was a reminder to him. No wonder the queen mother said that she could ask more questions about Ziyu when she was going to the north to check the border.
…
…
The next day, the sky was bright, and the morning glow above the eastern sky was as bright as a colorful brocade.
Jia Heng, King Chen Ran of Wei, and other officials began to go to the city head to inspect the defense of Taiyuan City. They selected a group of civil servants and began to meticulously count the men and soldiers in the books.
During Jia Heng's investigation, whenever the King of Wei asked anything, Jia Heng told him one by one. He almost gave everything to him and treated him like his son...
Well, the former is for sweet girls.
In this way, three days passed, and Jia Heng also ended his inspection tour with Wei Wang Chen Ran. He left the Taiyuan General Military Office without stopping and continued to Datong Prefecture to inspect border affairs.
Datongfu
At this moment, the commander-in-chief Jiang Zining also led the relevant soldiers of Datong Mansion to welcome him out of the city gate. He looked at the young man in the python suit with complicated eyes, raised his hands and said, "I have met Duke Wei."
Jia Heng nodded, with a smile on his face, and asked: "General Jiang, are you okay?"
Seeing that the young man in python suit was so kind, Jiang Zining breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Duke Wei, long time no see."
At first, although he was dismissed due to the unfavorable situation in the army, he was retained as a frontline officer. However, as time passed, Jiang Zining heard that he could still remain as the commander-in-chief. Thanks to the words of the young man in the python suit in front of him, the last trace of resentment deep in his heart completely dissipated. , but gave birth to a lot of gratitude.
Jia Heng said: "This time, I heard it all in the center. The Jurchens mobilized troops to invade Datong. Datong responded promptly and gave the Jurchens a head-on blow, so that the captives did not dare to invade. It was all thanks to General Jiang's good deployment."
Jiang Zining cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to praise you as Duke Wei."
While the two were chatting, Jia Heng entered the General Military Yamen of Datong. It was a scene that was no different from that of the General Military Yamen of Taiyuan.
Jia Heng took the military register and checked it, and then looked at the King of Wei. Chen Ran, the King of Wei, also lowered his eyes and read it.
In fact, this process is that both sides determine that the number of soldiers with military registration in the household department in the middle of the capital is unified but not unified.
Jia Heng said: "How is the situation in Datong with the transshipment of grain and fodder now?"
At this moment, Wei Wang Chen Ran also put down the book in his hand and listened attentively.
This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to observe military action.
Jiang Zining said: "Dong Wei, in Xuanda and Dazhou, the grain and fodder are firstly allocated by the imperial court, and the border towns purchase the grain and fodder. Secondly, the provinces raise it themselves and allocate it from the capital. The former is mostly purchased with the help of merchants, and the latter is They came from farming operations. At the beginning of the year, Li Shangshu rectified Shanxi's farming administration and strictly investigated corruption. Shanxi has been able to provide a small amount of self-sufficiency and does not ask much from the court."
Jia Heng said: "Old Li Ge was in Shanxi the day before yesterday to rectify the political affairs. The situation in Shanxi has completely changed."
Jiang Zining said: "In Shanxi, the New Deal has been fully rolled out. The main reason is that after the planting of sweet potatoes is promoted, the people will be able to eat enough, and there will naturally be no shortage of grain."
King Wei said: "Sweet potato?"
Yes, Ziyu was the first to promote this sweet potato.
With a smile on his face, Jiang Zining said loudly: "In recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently in Shanxi, and there have been bad harvests. Since the introduction of sweet potato, the people have no worries about famine. Especially after the government has been reorganized, the soldiers and civilians have become more available." With enough food, the morale of the people and the military will be determined."
In fact, since Jia Heng promoted sweet potato cultivation, the famine in the entire Han Dynasty during the Little Ice Age has been effectively alleviated.
Taking the province of Shanxi as an example, by planting a large number of sweet potatoes in valleys, valleys, stalls and acres of land, and scheduling the turnover, the people were able to have enough food and clothing. Naturally, it would not be like in the Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space, because the people could not eat, and the Ming Dynasty also conquered the Liao Dynasty. Payments are distributed to local governments, which then creates a systemic crisis.
So, where did the money for the successive wars in the fifteenth and sixteenth years of Chongping come from?
Rectifying salt affairs and recovering the losses of Yangzhou salt merchants, Shanxi Shanxi merchants, and large-scale attacks on clans such as the Wei and Chu vassals, as well as anti-corruption investigations, maritime trade profits, and recovered money can supply each war. This kind of military expenditure is apportioned to the people.
In other words, the entire Han Dynasty did not have the situation of famished people fleeing everywhere. This was the prerequisite for maintaining greater peace and implementing the New Deal.
Otherwise, the people will not have enough to eat, refugees will be everywhere, the bureaucracy will almost fail to function, and even the New Deal will have no basis for implementation.
And all this is because Jia Heng dragged the big man forward alone, in exchange for the honorary title of first-class Duke of Wei, Grand Master and Minister of Military Aircraft.
What does it mean to win over the sky?
This set of templates can be used even in the late Ming Dynasty.
The beauty and beauty of the makeup in the Grand View Garden is just a modifier to the overwhelming beauty.
