Chapter 2152 Flower Struggle (Sixty)

In addition to Minister Kulun, there is also General Ulia Sutai in the Mobei region who is in charge of the four Khalkha Mongolian tribes, and the Khalkha Left Banner is located in Kulun.

The station of General Ulyasutai is in Uliasutai. The purpose of establishing General Uriyasutai is to suppress the Jungar rebellion. After the Minister of Cullen was appointed, his jurisdiction became west of Culun. First

General Ren Ulia Sutai's name was Celeng. He was the 18th grandson of Genghis Khan. He was canonized as Prince Chaoyong because of his bravery in battle. He was stationed in Mobei until his death and played an important role in the tranquility of the northern border.

Celeng's descendants were adopted by the inner court and became scholars who understood Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese. Although his three sons successively served as generals of Ulia Sutai, none of them served for a long time. They were followed by other Mongolian princes.

By the time of Qianlong's reign in 1780, Manchus were in charge.

The emperor enjoys all sacred privileges, which can be understood from titles such as "Long Live Lord". For the emperor, whether it is to reward or deprive privileges, it must be controlled by him alone. All the financial resources and income of the country are controlled by him.

In the hands of the emperor, it seems to be his private property, because in principle, the entire country belongs to the emperor, and "the whole world is royal territory."

Freedom was a completely unfamiliar concept in the Qing Dynasty. Officials in the Forbidden City even felt honored to be "given" to walk somewhere. Macartney's walk in the Old Summer Palace was very "forbidden" to them, although the Old Summer Palace

It is indeed a garden, but no matter how much the Western-style pavilion looks like Europe, it is still not Europe.

It is very difficult for Yunduan Dorji to "inherit his father's legacy" on his own. Fortunately, he has a good "uncle" - Prince Yongrong of Zhijun who inherited the title of his aunt and father. He is not only Qianlong's

The emperor's biological son was also the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and all tributes and woolen materials from Mongolia were transported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Juren and Heshen took the imperial examination in the same year, and both failed in the imperial examination. Now he is the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs like Yongrong. He is indeed young and promising, and has supervised several cases. The confessions of the domestic slaves became Li Shiyao's guilt.

With irrefutable evidence, Heshen then began to interrogate the officials who bribed Li Shiyao based on the list provided by Haining. These officials confessed one after another that it turned out that Li Shiyao often extorted money from his subordinates in the name of handling tributes for the court. The subordinates did not dare to offend Li Shiyao, so they had to pay

money.

The irrefutable evidence is so strong that Li Shiyao can only confess that he received a total of 31,100 taels of silver, and the governor's money for raising integrity is 20,000 taels a year. According to the law revised by Yongzheng, embezzlement of more than 1,000 taels is punishable by death. The amount Li Shiyao confessed to will almost certainly be punished by death.

He was sentenced to death by beheading.

Although He Shen handled this case beautifully, it may not be in line with Qianlong's wishes.

First, Li Shiyao was particularly diligent in paying tribute. Qianlong was strict with himself in the early days of his accession to the throne, but later became fond of extravagance. Li Shiyao was trying to "accommodate him".

Second, his seventieth birthday was coming soon. According to the custom of the Central Plains, "men celebrate the birthday of nine and women celebrate the birthday of ten." In 1780, when Qianlong was 69 years old, the Panchen Lama even went to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. In the first month of this year, he also brought the princes with him.

, the Mongolian Taijis went to the south of the Yangtze River for the fifth time, to Shandong and Henan, and were exempted from local taxes. If Heshen thought that killing people at this time would be a "bloody disaster", Heshen was a very smart man, why?

Just can’t figure it out?

Maybe he was red-eyed. After all, at this point, he and Li Shiyao could only live together. The reason why Haining discussed "money" was because it was Qianlong's birthday, the emperor's birthday, and the "suizi" in Yunnan were given two hundred taels of gold.

How much does the capital give?

Anyway, Li Shiyao first tried the executioner, and He Shen really wanted to sentence him to execution.

Li Shiyao knew that if he did not appeal, he would probably die. Fortunately, he would smoothen the relationship and ask the emperor's "Shuida" to send a message and suggest that the emperor use the "Jiu Qing Judgment" to hear his case.

The joint trial of Jiuqing began in the Ming Dynasty. "Sangong and Jiuqing" were just a very honorary and false position. They no longer held real power after the Qin and Han Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the Jiuqing became the minister of Dali Temple, the censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan, and the censor of Zuodu.

A judicial system that specializes in major cases and second-instance reversal of confession cases, which are jointly tried by the general envoys and six ministers, and finally reviewed and approved by the emperor.

If you were one of the Nine Qings, how would you try this case?

Li Shiyao is old, while He Shen is very young, and they seem to be replacing Li Shiyao. What's more, the evidence of Li Shiyao's crime is solid, so it seems that they are not fair enough not to sentence him to death.

The academicians cited the incident in the fifth year of Qianlong's reign when Eshan, the nine-door admiral, accepted a bribe of 1,000 taels and was executed. Hengwen, the former governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Liangqing, the governor of Guizhou, etc., all of whom had been executed for embezzling less money than Li Shiyao.

How to judge depends on how Qianlong celebrated his sixtieth birthday.

Qianlong was born in 1711, and his mother, Empress Xiao Shengxian, was born in 1692. The two were nearly 20 years apart. Qianlong's 60th birthday happened to be Empress Xiao Shengxian's 80th birthday. In order to seek good luck, he simply called her Wanshou.

In order to celebrate his 60th birthday and the longevity of his mother, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported the construction of the Buddha statue of Infinite Life. After Qianlong agreed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs established the Buddha Building Office and concentrated local silver to cast the statue of Buddha of Infinite Life.

Ordinary people may think that building a Buddha statue, even if it is made of pure gold, does not cost much.

If you want to build the Infinite Life Buddha, you must build it in multiples of nine, such as nine, ninety-nine, one hundred and eight, one thousand and eight, etc. The Empress Dowager has always been frugal on birthdays all her life, and Qianlong was the most filial person, so

In the 35th year of Qianlong's reign, when he was sixty years old, he built a building in Beihai to enshrine ten thousand Buddhas of Infinite Life. There was a "Ten Thousand Buddhas" ceremony, and the newly built building was called the Ten Thousand Buddhas Tower.

At that time, although Li Shiyao was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he participated in the Qing-Burmese War. This minister originally announced the memorandum, but instead he sent people and ordered the leaders of Siam to spy on Burmese intelligence and capture the Burmese king alive to prepare for sacrifice.

Don't sacrifice living people, but instead sacrifice two Siamese Buddha statues. Three years later, Li Shiyao was promoted to bachelor of Wuying Palace and remained in Guangdong and Guangxi as governor.

Qianlong celebrated his 70th birthday this time. Although the Empress Dowager was no longer here, it did not affect his construction of temples. Even in the prosperous times, it was inevitable to cut corners when building palaces. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty would make a fortune while supervising the construction of buildings.

.

In the forty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign, when Qianlong was in Rehe, the Sixth Panchen Lama sent an envoy to present a memorial to him to wish him a birthday.

It is a long journey from RKZ to Rehe. In the past, Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo, who built the Potala Palace. This time the Panchen Lama came to visit and built a place for him to live.

The buildings were all built in French style, and no one in the cabinet knew anything about Tibetan-style architecture, including Liu Yong, Minister of Industry, so Qianlong thought of Heshen.

Heshen was in BJ at that time and spent two days and two nights rushing to Rehe. Qianlong gave him the task of building a residence for the Sixth Panchen Lama.

There was already a building imitating the Potala Palace in Rehe. Heshen asked around and decided to build a new temple imitating Tashilhunpo Temple in RKZ. Qianlong gave it a new name, Xumi Fushou Temple.

For the above reasons, even though Li Shiyao was sentenced to death in the second trial, Qianlong still prepared a third trial for him. This time he ordered the local governors to express their opinions.

When Heshen exposed this matter, Qianlong was on a tour to the south, and he was escorted by Fulehun, the governor of Huguang, who put in a good word for Li Shiyao.

Few people knew about this, but the "Shu Da" around Qianlong knew that if they were not supervised, they could also "enlighten" it on their own like AH Governor Min Eyuan. It's just that this time the imperial edict was more difficult than the poem test in the Juren Examination.

Guess, including Fulehun, who once "guessed the question correctly", and he, like most people in other places, supports the death penalty for Li Shiyao.

With Min Eyuan's information, Qianlong found a breakthrough. Based on this information, he announced that he had received the title books from each province. Considering that someone requested to pardon Li Shiyao, he would not make a judgment for the time being and wait until next year for another trial.

However, next year, the prison donation case broke out in Gansu, as well as the fraud case in Shandong. In comparison, Li Shiyao's crime was much lighter. Not long after, Qianlong released Li Shiyao and sent him to Gansu to handle military affairs.

Soon after, the governor of Gansu, Leerjin, took the blame and died. Li Shiyao took his place and became the governor of Gansu.

In fact, there were private schools and teachers in the county prince's palace, but the prince's palace at that time had no shortage of teachers.

The Qianlong Banquet held by Emperor Kangxi when he was 69 years old was not held. The fiftieth year of Qianlong's reign was also an "anniversary", so the Ministry of Internal Affairs could hold a Thousand Senior Banquet.

At that time, it was indispensable to collect delicacies from mountains and seas, especially those from outside the Great Wall. Rare and exotic animals could also be presented as gifts. As for how much waste this would cause and how much people's wealth and wealth would be plundered, it was really not something that the people could consider at that time.

If he doesn't find a solution for the Mongolian Prince Consort, he will be unemployed and hungry. Moreover, Kulun is a large monastery and a large monastery of Tibetan Buddhism. It is worth the Panchen's trip for the benefit of the Tibetan people.

There is a beast in the mountains of Qingqiu. It looks like a fox with nine tails, and its voice is like a baby. It can eat people, and those who eat it are not poisonous.

This time the prince really wanted to take Juren away, but Uliasutai was a place of exile, and Heshen's son Fengshen Yinde was there, so Juren planned to stay in the capital.

It's just that it's not that easy to stay in the capital. After failing the imperial examination again, he returned to his hometown. It doesn't matter if the county prince is in the south.

When He Zhongtang was at the height of his power, Juren did not go to visit him, even though he and Yong Rong were both ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

How did he introduce himself? He Zhongtang, do you remember? In the imperial examination in the year of Wuzi, when you failed Sun Shan, I was in the same class as you.

Then he went to the house where Nick was imprisoned, drinking and talking "vernacular".

There is nothing you can do about your fate, and it is despicable to live in mourning.

The humble, the noble, the humble, the sinners will eventually become the stories in other people's dramas.

Nalan Xingde said: I am a melancholy guest in the world. I know what happened to you and I burst into tears.

What if you laugh? Will he understand?
