The difficulties encountered by Yiduli in the Shengjing Military Department were no less than those on the side of Cao Yigong's Ministry.
The situation of the Eight Banners stationed around Shengjing is even more chaotic, and it is not just a matter of empty salary. There are also many registered soldiers who are not in the barracks at all.
As a result, the number of people who can actually reach it is even more limited.
But the flood control methods discussed by Cao Yi and Yi Duli all require manpower. The people around are limited, and there can only be garrisoned eight banners.
There is a shortage of manpower in the garrison of the Eight Banners, and no matter how good they are, they can't make a big difference.
The two talked about each other's predicament, a little bit speechless.
Cao Yi is okay, he is transferred from other government offices in Shengjing, or he is selected from another person in Beijing, he just needs to ask for an order. He had already decided, completely written in the fold, and quickly handed it back to the capital, asking Yongzheng to decide the matter.
Iduli was caught in a choice.
The Eight Banners stationed in the Banners, especially the Eight Banners stationed outside the gates, are mostly veteran leaders of the Eight Banners, and there are banner owners on them.
If it weren't for them, the people below wouldn't be so unscrupulous.
If Yiduli uncovers this matter, he will offend those banner lords: if he does not expose this matter, when the flood comes, there will be no one available, and there will be a big mistake.
Although he is assisting, he is also a saint, if he really can't do a good job, can the emperor have a good job?
It's a difficult choice.
Is it to have a conscience and political achievements, or to live a peaceful life with mud and peace?
He gritted his teeth and greeted the ancestors of those uncles who drank the blood of soldiers in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Cao Yi expectantly: "Fu Ruo, you have always been smarter than me, help me think about it, how to act?" β
Cao Yi shook his head and said, "Adults think there is really a choice? β
Yi Duli was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then showed a wry smile.
The emperor is concerned about Shengjing's side, and he is afraid that he and Cao Po will not be able to hide every move from Beijing.
The emperor is most disgusted with greedy ink, viciously stationed in the Eight Banners, these uncles have already committed taboos. It's only because the emperor didn't think to ask about it in his early years that he hasn't rectified it.
If Yi Du Li really concealed this matter, I am afraid that even he, the secretary of the military department, will be implicated.
There is only one way left, and that is to be honest.
Most of the thoughts of making contributions were extinguished at once.
Looking at Yi Duli's sad face, Cao Yi had no choice but to comfort: "Adults don't have to worry too much about the presence of the Thirteenth Master, even if you offend someone, it won't hurt your muscles and bones." β
Hearing this, Yi Duli's expression softened slightly.
Cao Yi's words are true, he and the thirteenth elder brother-in-law have already signed a contract, and the two families have become closer and closer in the past few years.
Even if Ergege died of illness now, it did not damage the relationship between the two families.
The thirteenth elder brother and the nephew and son-in-law of the thirteenth Fujin Fufu Sangha are similar to their own elder brothers.
The two of them each wrote an excerpt and sent them back to the capital on the same day.
Shengjing's six officials, one of them came from the capital, and Cao Yi and Cao Yi were officials in the same dynasty, and they knew each other, so they took the lead in connecting Cao Yi and Yi Duli, and they had to have another entertainment.
During the banquet, between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, someone inquired about the purpose of the trip.
It is not uncommon to say that the Yangtze River is flooded: but the flood outside the border cannot be said to be once in a century, and it is not ordinary.
Therefore, except for a few officials of the Ministry of Industry, the other hall officials of the government office did not know the intention of Cao Yi and Yi Duli.
Even if Cao Yi is also the secretary of the Ministry of Works, in the eyes of everyone, he is still the head of the Ministry of Households.
The head of a household department and a head of the military department came to Shengjing together, and more people thought of the war in the northwest, and they couldn't help but jump into the jade test.
Officials like them, although their rank is not low, most of them have made mistakes on the way to the office, and their future stops here.
Eight Banners attaches the most importance to military merit, and if you have the opportunity to serve in front of the army, you may have the capital to turn over.
In the last years of Kangxi, hundreds of prisoners were sent to serve in front of the army, and there was no shortage of salted fish.
Cao Yi did not receive a secret decree, and the matter of flood control was not confidential, so he naturally told it truthfully.
This made many officials who were originally attentive immediately lose their interest, and they were not happy to eat a meal.
They have to get by in Shengjing, where are they in the mood to care about drought or rain and waterlogging.
Cao Yi didn't pay attention to their change of face, Yi Duli was already a little unhappy, where could he stand this, and pulled Cao Yi to leave the table early.
When I arrived at the post house near the Sixth Ministry of Shengjing, I saw a person wandering outside the gate.
The man was wearing a white Peng supplement uniform, leaning over, and saw Cao Yi and Yi Duli walking towards him, and he was stuck there.
Seeing that he didn't retreat according to the rules, Yi Duli couldn't help frowning, and just wanted to order someone to expel him, when he saw that person staring straight at Cao Yi, and said with trembling lips: "Lord Cao"
Cao Yi had already noticed that this person's expression was different, but after a few glances, it didn't look like an old acquaintance, so he looked away.
Hearing him speak now, Cao Yi couldn't help but stop, and said suspiciously: "This adult..."
"Humble duty, humble duty is Peng Zhu," the man said excitedly.
"Peng Zhu" Cao Yi read the name, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Peng Zhu, Master Peng?" β
Peng Zhu choked up and said: "It's just a lowly position, I haven't been an adult for many years, and I have asked the adult for a lowly job......" said that, he gave a thousand salutes.
People come and go near the post house, but it is not the boundary of the nose.
As soon as the person reported his name, Yi Duli also recognized it, so he said to Cao Yi: "Fu Ruo, since you are acquainted, please go to the post house to talk." β
Cao Yi nodded, stretched out his arm, gave a false hand, and beckoned Peng Zhu into the post house.
Peng Zhu was Cao Yi's former colleague, and when Cao Yi was a member of the household department in the 50th year of Kangxi, Peng Zhu was his subordinate.
Before Cao Yi was released to Shandong, he recommended Peng Zhu and another director, Fu Xiangong, as his successors. As a result, Shangshu at that time gave Cao Yi a lot of face, so that both of them were promoted to foreign ministers, among which Fu Xiangong was a member of the Fujian Division, and Peng Zhu went to the Shandong Division.
For this reason, the two were grateful to Cao Poduo, and even if Cao Yi was released later, they did not break off contact with each other.
In particular, Peng Zhu, in the Shandong Division, under the guise of official business, maintained correspondence with Cao Yi in Yizhou, Shandong.
It wasn't until Cao Yin died of illness that Cao Yi stayed at home, and Fu and Peng were released one after another, and they broke off contact with each other.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, but I didn't expect to see the old man again.
Cao Yi calculated in his heart that Peng Zhu was more than ten years older than him, and he was in his early forties at this time, and he was in the prime of life. Now, he looks like an old man in Hujia, and it seems that he is not doing well.
When they arrived at the inn's residence, Iduli went back to his house and left a small hall to speak to them.
Peng Zhu was a little restrained, and he was also careful when he spoke.
Cao Yi didn't know what mistakes he made, but I heard that he was released and promoted to an official back then, why did he fall to the fifth rank and be assigned to Shengjing after more than ten years?
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know where Master Peng is now," Cao Yi thought for a moment and asked.
Peng Zhudao: "The lowly position is now on duty in the Criminal Department......
Cao Yi nodded, yes, if it was in the Lu Department or the Ministry of Industry, he should have noticed it a long time ago. The household department and the Shengjing household department are in the same line, and there are official correspondence. As for the Shengjing Ministry of Industry, he had just checked the list of officials in the morning, and there was no Peng Zhu's name.
Although the superiors and subordinates got along quite happily back then, only Cao Yi mentioned them, and Peng Zhu still owed Cao Yi a favor.
And there were many contacts in the following New Year's Festival, and Peng Zhu also had a lot of attachment here.
Cao Yi didn't like Peng Zhu's temperament, and admired Fu Xiangong more.
But when he was mourned, the two were released one after another, and there was no news from him since, and he still cared a little about it.
The behavior of these two people cannot be said to be ungrateful, but they are also suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
Peng Zhu is also good, and he has the ability to jump into the camp, so his behavior is not unexpected: Fu Xiangong's side disappointed Cao Yi.
Unexpectedly, many years later, Peng Zhu ended up like this.
Cao Yi was not a generous person, thinking of the events of the past, he couldn't help but feel like swallowing a fly, so he didn't have the interest of catching up with the past, and wanted to serve tea to the guests.
At this time, I heard Peng Zhu say: "Do you still remember the old man?" β
Cao Yan nodded, his expression faint.
Peng Zhu sighed and said, "Son of Heaven Shengming, the old Fu Quanxia has knowledge, and he should also be ...............blinded."
When Cao Yi heard this, he was surprised.
The "old man" in Peng Zhu's mouth was another subordinate of Cao Yi back then, Fu Xiangong, who succeeded him as a member of the Fujian Division.
Although Fu Xiangong is older, he is only twenty years older than Cao Yi, and the hujia is not yet there, why is it gone?
"Master Fu is gone?" Cao Yi asked.
Peng Zhu's eyes were red and said: "The old man has been gone for more than ten years, and the old man has not been wronged."
Although Cao Yi felt suspicious in his heart, he was not too moved.
The career is dangerous, especially in the local area, the power is complicated, and the officials who cannot die well, he has seen and heard about many officials over the years.
After thinking about Fu Xiangong's temperament, he was more than square and not sleek. is a hard-working and capable official, if the boss has a good eye, otherwise it is easy to suffer in the officialdom.
Peng Zhu seemed to be so depressed that he poured bitter water, and continued to speak in one breath.
It turned out that he and Fu Xiangong were released one after another, and they both went to the northwest. Fu Xiangong in Sichuan, Pengzhu's Shaanxi.
The two were officials in the same government in the capital, and they went to the northwest together, so they kept correspondence.
In less than a year, Fu Xiangong was gone.
Speaking of this, Peng Zhu's emotions were a little excited, and he said again: "My lord, the old man has no injustice... ξ»
In the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, Cao Yi of Sichuan remembered a person in his mind.
Sure enough, Peng Zhu's next words were related to Nian Qianyao, who was once prominent in the northwest.
According to Peng Zhu, Fu Xiangong was killed by Nian Qianyao.
At that time, the natives of Sichuan were moved, and Nian Qianyao had sent troops to suppress it, and made "war exploits" and thus won the favor of the Holy Ancestor, and was promoted from governor to governor of Sichuan.
The cat in it, although Peng Zhu said it was vague, Cao Yi could guess that it was nothing more than "dirty people for bandits" and using people to make military achievements.
Fu Xiangong reported that he "died of illness", but according to the nephew of the Fu family, he had a conflict with the soldiers of Fuzhen, and died of stick sores.
He was unlucky, and he was sent to Sichuan as the local prefect, which happened to be the boundary of the local people's rebellion.
"From the prefect of Sipintu, he was beaten to death, how can it not be appalling? When he got the letter from the nephew of the Fu family, he was shocked and couldn't believe it, just thinking about whether the nephew of the Fu family had lost his father, and there was a misunderstanding in his grief. Unexpectedly, when I waited for the news of the Fu family, it was the news that the nephew of the Fu family was intercepted and killed by the natives on the way back to his hometown, and none of them survived" Speaking of this, Peng Zhu gritted his teeth and said.
If it was in the early years, Cao Yi would have scoffed when he heard these words.
But after he became the governor of Zhili, he knew the status of the governor in the locality, that is, the "Emperor of the Soil".
Nian Qianyao's temperament has always been rigid and arrogant, and it is not surprising to do such a thing.
In Nian Qianyao's "Ninety-two Articles" major crimes, he mentioned the killing of good people and the abuse of officials.
Back then, I vaguely heard people mention that the people of Nian Qianyao had killed the officials of the imperial court, but I didn't expect it to be Fu Xiangong......
After Peng Zhu left, Yi Duli came over, saw Cao Yi's face heavy, and asked why.
Cao Yi told Fu Xiangong and Peng Zhu about it.
Yi Duli raised his eyebrows and said, "That old boy's mouth is crooked, Fu Ruo believes it?" β
Cao Yi said: "Although it has been a long time, after all, there are traces to follow, Fu Xiangong's violent death with the whole family in office should be true, and the rest is not easy to say."
When Cao Yi was in Taifu Temple, Peng Fu and the others were still in the household department and had contacts with the Cao family, so Yi Duli also met with these two people.
When Cao Yi and Peng Zhu were talking here, Yi Duli sent someone to the government office to inquire and got the news that Peng Zhu was demoted from Shanxi Daotai to Ren Langzhong of the Shengjing Criminal Department in the third year of Yongzheng.
The crime of degrading officials is "flattering officials", and he said that he was held accountable after the fall of Nian Qianyao.
Yi Duli told Cao Yi about Peng Zhu's situation, and Cao Yi couldn't help but sneer.
According to Peng Zhu's own words, he was "committed to being a thief" to collect Nian Qianyao's crimes, and before Nian Qianyao fell, he handed the charges to Yue Zhongqi, just to avenge Fu Xiangong.
Unexpectedly, Yue Zhongqi deleted Fu Xiangong's matter for fear of implicating his family, and finally did not give the Fu family a piece of Zhaoxue.
And Peng Zhu himself was jealous of Yue Zhongqi, stained as the party of the year, and was assigned to Shengjing.
No matter how deep Peng Zhu's affection for Fu Xiangong is today, it can't drown out the fact that he was promoted to the northwest and made a fortune.
When he heard that Peng Zhu was demoted to Shengjing during his tenure in the Daotai, Cao Yi knew that he was not as innocent as he said.
A few years ago, Nian Qianyao put the irons of the northwest business, and even the "annual election" came out.
If Peng Zhu hadn't been a "year party", he would have been promoted to the Taoist platform after the expiration of the first prefect's term.
Cao Yi didn't take him to heart, but when he thought of the words "dirty people are thieves", his heart was heavy.
No one knows whether Nian Qianyao killed people or bandits back then.
But according to what Cao Yi had heard, there were several military attachΓ©s who were asked about serious crimes because of this, which made him have to worry.
The boundary between the people and bandits is not difficult to determine.
The official word has two mouths, saying that it is the people, and the bandits are also the people: if it is said that it is a bandit, the people are also bandits.
Cao Yi is in Jiangnan, and what he did happened to be this "anti-bandit" job.
Even if Cao Yi has already been a thousand, Ding Wanzhi, Cao Yi himself is not a shameless person who is easy to kill, but it is difficult to ensure that someone below is deceived and concealed.
Even if the people killed are really bandits, if they really encounter ups and downs, then the "bandits" can become good citizens again.
The previous battle between Li Wei and Fan Shifeng, the two governors in Jiangnan, became more and more intense, and I hope that Cao Yi, a stupid boy, will not be burned......
The capital, the Old Summer Palace, the palace of diligence.
Looking at the fold in his hand, Yongzheng smiled angrily: "It's a good one to kill people and take risks, and it's good not to vomit or be unhappy...".
