Chapter 1000 Gentle Begonia Makeup in Winter

The next morning, fourth master got up early as usual.

Seeing that it was cold in winter, he didn't let her get up to serve her.

Only Su Peisheng and the maid from the Palace of Mental Cultivation waited on him.

He looked refreshed in his dragon robe.

It seemed that he just slept in Yongshou Palace last night and had a good rest.

According to fourth master's rigorous and demanding temperament.

After pampering the queen for two days in a row, the following days were naturally busy arranging the memorials, going to court, and dealing with government affairs.

After getting dressed, he went directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to pay homage.

At this moment, he is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on a gold-painted and carved dragon wooden chair, bowing his head under the hall.

To all the officials present, he was still the ruthless, unpredictable and cold-faced Emperor Yongzheng.

I saw that he had a very majestic appearance, his arms were hanging below his knees, and his hands were thick and powerful.

The huge Lantian moyu finger is embedded in the fingertips, so majestic!

Su Peisheng, who was beside him, spread out a bright yellow imperial decree, and said in a sharp voice: "From the moment he ascended the throne, he began to rectify the administration of officials. He warned the governor that, as a big official in the frontier, it is the foundation of clarifying the administration of officials. He should be loyal and fulfill his duties. I owe the emperor's grace."

"Warning the governor, it is the responsibility of the ministers to sue the people, and they should work together to fulfill their duties and not harm the local area."

"Admonish the supervisor, as an academic officer, you must be honest and diligent, and you must inspire scholars to have a good character."

"Admonish the admiral to advocate the leadership of the generals, be simple as the soldiers, organize the equipment, and practice skills and bravery."

"Admonish the commander-in-chief to focus on a peaceful place, and should be in harmony with civil and military affairs, and the military and civilians will be adjusted, and everyone will get their own balance."

"Admonish the chief secretary, the position of Fang Bo, the responsibility is heavy, and he should be loyal to the public."

"Admonish the procuratorate to not only impose strict punishments on the legislation, but also enforce the law fairly."

"Admonish the Taoist priests, each of whom is an assistant manager has a special responsibility, and everything should be personally experienced, so as to eliminate the bad rules of selfishness and fraud."

"Admonish lieutenant generals, generals, guerrillas and other officials that even though they live in remote areas, they should also pre-determine the method of military training, personally learn to ride and shoot, strictly test their skills and bravery, and be clean and disciplined."

"Admonish the magistrate, not only the eyes and ears of the governors and supervisors, but also the example of the prefectural magistrates and county magistrates. They must be honest and self-sufficient, resist bribery, and perform their duties in accordance with their duties."

"Admonish the magistrates and magistrates, as officials who are close to the people, they are the foundation of official governance. Although the rank is low, the duties are very heavy. They should put love for the people as the first priority.

Hearing this, the officials below kowtowed to the ground one after another, "The ministers and others kowtow to thank the emperor for his instruction."

Everyone understood that these eleven decrees were aimed at admonishing them, civil and military officials.

It also showed the emperor's determination to rectify the administration of officials.

At the same time, it also opened the prelude to the new emperor's rectification of officials!

Fourth master was sitting on the dragon chair, his deep black eyes looking down at the officials below.

As early as in the Old Summer Palace, he knew the disadvantages brought about by the policy of tolerance when Huang Kao was old.

That's why eleven decrees were issued in a row to police and train all officials, civil and military, and set about rectifying the administration of officials.

After the fourth master's eyes swept over the officials, he mentioned one more thing.

He pulled his lips, and said solemnly: "Recently, the chieftain of Ami Prefecture has oppressed the local people and increased the folk grain tax, but he has been vague about the imperial court, owes the state treasury grain tax, and even forcibly occupied one hundred of Pangdian Township. Ninety-eight villages caused opposition from the local people, and they filed many complaints against the court. I think that if this person is not removed for a day, it will be a disaster for the people and the court, so I decided to send people to Lin'an Mansion to arrest him. Chieftain Li Chun."

"Your Majesty, the chieftains of Ami State were not the hereditary Li family who helped Wu Sangui many years ago, and after the San Francisco was pacified, didn't they have changed their land and returned to the locals?" Nian Gengyao asked.

"Back then they did reform the land and return to the local people, but the local villages were all Li family barbarians. As a result, it was difficult for the newly appointed chieftain to collect money and food, so they appealed to the imperial court and wanted to restore Li's position. Therefore, as early as when the holy ancestor was alive, , has resumed the post of chieftain of the Li clan."

"It turns out that it is so unreasonable to collect taxes under the guise of the imperial court and not pay them to the imperial court." Nian Gengyao was impatient, and after he asked the matter clearly, he said, "Your Majesty, my servant is willing to lead troops to Ami Prefecture. Capture Li Chun."

He is straight-tempered, and he probably got scared at the grassroots level in those few years.

So whenever there is an errand, that is the first one to recommend himself.

First, fourth master gave a deep "hmm".

Didn't say yes, didn't say no.

He only turned to look at Wuge, and said indifferently: "Wuge, I remember that you used to go to Ami Prefecture to suppress bandits, and I think you are more familiar with that generation."

Wu Ge has never been someone who likes to stand out.

Moreover, his status is special.

The younger sister is the queen, and he is considered the emperor's uncle.

If everything is too eye-catching, it will cause dissatisfaction among others.

Now, if the emperor asks such a question, he will naturally answer.

"If you go back to the emperor, I have indeed suppressed bandits in Ami Prefecture. If the emperor is relieved, I am willing to go to Ami Prefecture to arrest Li Chun and bring him to justice."

"Well, this matter is settled like this. I order you to set off on a certain day and bring that Li Chun to justice." Fourth Master said bluntly.

Now, Nian Gengyao was in a hurry.

That Fei Yang is old, with a lot of old wounds on his body, he can't go to the battlefield anymore.

In addition, Fei Yanggu holds the important post of admiral of the Nine Gates, and the Forbidden City and the capital cannot do without him.

Besides, he is a young and vigorous young man, how can he compete with the old man.

But Wuge is different, he is about the same age as him.

The combat achievements of the two are almost the same, after all, there is a feeling that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Of course, this is just his one-sided idea.

As for what happened just now, he was the one who opened the mouth first.

But the emperor didn't agree to him, and turned around and gave the job to Wu Ge, which made him feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Moreover, this is not the first time that the emperor has favored the five grids.

Give good errands to Wu Ge, not to him.

Thinking that he was sent to a corner by the emperor to beat soy sauce for several years before, and he worked hard, that's all.

When he arrived in the capital, Fei Yanggu said he would be transferred to Sichuan, so he went to Sichuan.

During the whole period, the emperor didn't say a word for him.

Later, if he hadn't worked hard on his own, he would have been promoted step by step.

Now that he has managed to get to the position he is today, the emperor still treats him like this.

If it is said that the Thirteenth Lord relies on nepotism, then at least he has the royal blood in his body, which is incomparable to him.

But these five grids can be regarded as front and rear palaces, and he is comparable to them all.

Hmph, isn't it just because she has a queen sister!

The more Nian Gengyao thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, this is what the slave said first. Moreover, the slave has strong adaptability. Even in a strange place, he can quickly get familiar with the location."

As soon as the voice fell, all the ministers in the hall broke into a cold sweat for Nian Gengyao.

My heart said that you, Nian Gengyao, have already become famous, do you still need this job?

I didn’t hear from the emperor, but Wu Ge has been to Amia Prefecture, and he is familiar with the route there, yet he is still beeping here.

Leaving these things aside, the emperor, as an emperor, promises what he says, and what he says is what he says.

It doesn't matter whether Nian Gengyao says it first or later.

I really don't know which onion I am?

At this moment, fourth master's eyes suddenly tightened.

The ink pupils are cold and sharp, and the cold air makes people dare not peep any more.

He turned his face slightly, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"Nian Gengyao, what did you just say?"

His voice was calm and indifferent, yet majestic.

It seems to be full of another meaning: you try to say it again?

Nian Gengyao is smart, he seems to be aware of this, and even more aware that he has lost his composure.

He hurriedly replied: "The slave just said... I wish Wu Ge all the best."

Seeing Nian Gengyao's understanding, fourth master nodded slightly, but he didn't blame Nian Gengyao.

After all, Nian Gengyao just had a positive attitude and was a little more eager.

Compared with his military exploits against the Qing Dynasty, this trivial matter is still insignificant.

Then, those sharp eyes looked down at the officials below, and said lightly: "Very good, step back!"

------

In the next few days, it snowed in the capital.

Especially on the day of the winter solstice, it snowed heavily.

The entire Forbidden City is covered with layers of silver.

Crystal clear ice flowers hang from the dead trees.

Since everyone hid in the house to keep warm, it was unbelievably quiet outside.

The golden eaves of the Hall of Mental Cultivation were also covered with a layer of white snow.

When it was time for dinner, the eunuch in the respect room came forward with a silver tray on time, "Your Majesty."

This time, fourth master didn't even raise his head, let alone turn over his sign.

He just said indifferently: "Su Peisheng, ask Yushanfang to make more dumplings, and then inform Yongshou Palace that I will come over later."

"Hey." After Su Peisheng agreed, he took his hand in his hand and gave a glance to the eunuch in the respect room, and the two went out together.

When the eunuch in the respect room came outside the door, he screamed: "Tonight, the Yongshou Palace will hold the lanterns!"

Then, he moved his pace and went to Yongshou Palace to sing the newspaper.

"Lighting up the lanterns at Yongshou Palace tonight!" When the same chanting sounded in Yongshou Palace, Ruoyin was making dumplings with the servants.

"Your Majesty, the respect office has come to report, saying that the emperor has flipped your signboard." Nanny Liu entered the room with a smile.

Ruoyin squeezed the dumpling wrapper in his hand, then pointed to the various dumplings wrapped in front of him, and said, "Come on, remove these, you guys cook and eat, especially those who are watching the night, Eat more."

"Okay, thank you for your reward." Mama Liu and Qiaofeng brought down the wrapped dumplings, planning to cook them in the pot.

The dumpling stuffing made by the empress is much more delicious than those made in the palace, and the ingredients are also sufficient.

Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin hurriedly asked the servant to prepare water for a bath.

Although the cold wind was biting, no one in the harem dared to go to bed without bathing and burning incense.

Especially when facing a straight man as picky as Fourth Master, it was even more so.

Not long after, Ruoyin sat in the wooden bathtub.

Rose petals floated on the water.

Although there are servants to scrub her body.

But she also took pleasure in pouring water on her shoulders and neck to keep it warm.

He also ordered lightly on his mouth: "The weather is strangely dry, Banmei, please add some rose essential oil."

"Okay." After Banmei answered, she held the small blue and white porcelain bottle and dripped some essential oil into the bathtub.

After about a stick of incense, Ruoyin changed into a begonia red flag outfit under the service of the servants.

Then, she sat in front of the dressing table, putting on her makeup carefully.

Thinking of the heavy snow outside, she put on a winter gentle begonia makeup on a whim.

The blush on the face is similar to the begonia color system.

It doesn't look frivolous or showy.

The corners of the eyes are slightly raised, ecstasy.

As for the lips, she used a lighter lip paper.

The color system is also similar to that of Begonia.

The whole person seems to have a hazy feeling of "still holding the pipa and half covering the face", gentle and gentle.

It also exudes her charm a little bit, looking low-key and pure.

She looks like a young girl, but she is full of the charm of a mature woman.

After putting on her makeup, Ruoyin approved a begonia red cloak.

The brim of the hat is a circle of snow-white fox fur, which makes her face more delicate and beautiful.

She looked around in front of the mirror, and then she held the Begonia lantern and stood in front of the gate of Yongshou Palace, waiting for Fourth Master's arrival.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Mammy Liu said distressedly: "Mother, why don't you go in first. When the emperor comes, Su Peisheng will sing the newspaper. If he doesn't sing the newspaper, I will let Li Fukang go in to inform you."

"It's okay, I'll be waiting here." Ruoyin held Mrs. Tang in one hand and a lantern in the other, and stood at the door holding the lantern.

Nanny Liu knew what Ruoyin was thinking, but she still persuaded her: "Why don't you go to the front to guard, if you see the emperor coming from a distance, the servant will run back to inform you, and then you will come out of the house again, it's okay the same."

"That's different." Ruoyin said without hesitation.

Her voice was faint, as if she would be drowned in the whistling north wind at any moment.

Fourth Master is not stupid, if Grandma Liu reports in advance and asks casually, she will know everything.

In addition, whether she is really waiting for him in the heavy snow, the temperature of her body and face is also different.

Nowadays, fourth master rarely comes to the harem, but whenever he summons her or flips through her brand, she almost always has something new.

The purpose is to make him remember every time he is here.

This time, since she wanted to play tricks, she had to put on a lot of drama.

Seeing Ruoyin's resolute attitude, the servants didn't say much, they just stood aside and waited with her.

After a cup of tea, everyone looked forward to it.

Finally, there were sporadic lights and a large crowd, coming towards Yongshou Palace.

"Qiaofeng, you have good eyesight, does it look like the emperor?" Banmei asked.

Qiaofeng half-closed his eyes and watched carefully.

The next moment, she happily said: "It is the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered up and waited in place.

Not long after, Long Mou, carried by more than a dozen people, stopped at Yongshou Palace.

Before Su Peisheng could sing the newspaper, Ruoyin stepped forward to salute: "My concubine welcomes the emperor."
