Chapter 1186 [Updated on May 23] A Decree From the Fourth Master

The fourth master snorted coldly, and said: "It's unreasonable. The Qing Dynasty never made such transactions with Mongolia, and now that the national treasury is sufficient, there is no need to make such money. But Nian Gengyao is actually good at making ideas and doing such things. It is treating the barracks as private property!"

He has only one pair of eyes and one pair of ears.

In addition, since he ascended the throne, he has been in the Forbidden City in order to stabilize the situation between North Korea and China.

What can be seen and heard is very limited.

To say that the impeachment of Nian Gengyao by those officials before was nothing more than some trivial matters in the court.

But what Shisan and Wuge said was something he had never heard of.

This is also the reason why he sent Shisan and Wuge to the northwest to reclaim wasteland.

Knowing that the place was under Nian Gengyao's management, he did it anyway.

One is that he doesn't believe what others say.

But what the two of them said must be true.

Immediately afterwards, the Thirteenth Master said again: "Take the Pingan Albuba Rebellion this time. Even though Gengyao had meritorious service that year, he did win the battle. But he violated the discipline of the army camp and recruited more than a dozen girls from Mongolia. , In the army, the wind-flow is happy."

Hearing this, fourth master frowned slightly, and scolded "shameless person".

Immediately afterwards, the three of them chatted for several hours before Shisan Ye and Wu Ge came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the two of them left, Fourth Master sat on the throne in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, flipping through two thick booklets.

What was recorded on it was all the contributions and military exploits made by Nian Gengyao since he followed him.

He frowned from time to time, writing something in the booklet with a pen.

Sometimes he put down his pen and rubbed the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips, as if he was not in a good mood.

No one knows what he is thinking.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng lowered his presence as much as possible, held his breath, and did not dare to disturb him.

That afternoon, fourth master impetuously closed the booklet on the throne.

Then, he began to reward Nian Gengyao wantonly.

And ordered the imperial guards to send the reward to Nian's house.

It's just that, together with those rewards, there is also a decree from the fourth master!

There is a paragraph in the decree that discusses the preservation of the reputation of heroes.

"It's easy for ordinary people to seek merit, but it's hard to succeed; it's easy to succeed, but it's hard to keep it; it's easy to keep it, but it's hard to end it. ... If you rely on merit to make a mistake, you will turn your favor into an enemy. This has always been the case with human beings."

In this decree, the fourth master changed the previous awards and praises for Nian Gengyao.

Instead, he warned Nian Gengyao to be cautious.

The fourth master was raised by Emperor Kangxi when he was young.

Faced with this kind of thing, he was the same as Emperor Kangxi back then.

Even if those officials who fought with him had corruption and borrowed money from the treasury, Emperor Kangxi just turned a blind eye and couldn't bear to deal with them.

If Nian Gengyao was a useless person, maybe it would be okay.

But he did make a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty.

Especially this time to rehabilitate the Albuba Rebellion, he was seriously injured in his arm, and he has not recovered yet.

For now, his merits still outweighed his wrongdoing.

And Nian Gengyao was single-handedly picked up by Fourth Master, for such a capable and meritorious minister.

His first thought was not to overwhelm the master with great achievements, but to kill the other party.

Instead, he has the responsibility and obligation to prevent him from continuing to degenerate.

After all these years, it is undeniable that if there is no Nian Gengyao.

The border is indeed not so peaceful.

And when he ascended the throne, it was not so smooth.

It is impossible for him to ignore so many credits and leave no leeway when a person makes a mistake.

So, although Nian Gengyao did make a mistake.

But it cannot be punished immediately.

One is because of Nian Gengyao that he made military exploits.

The second is that Nian Gengyao has been assisting him since the fourth master was not enthroned.

It can even be said that when fourth master was still Elder Brother and Baylor, they met each other and reached a certain consensus to get to where they are today.

Therefore, the fourth master still has a little affection for Nian Gengyao.

This is the love of monarchs and ministers!

Facing the courtiers who have been doing their best by his side, the first thing he thought of was persuasion and submission, rather than giving up directly.

It's like a boss facing his subordinates who have worked hard together for many years.

When it is found that the other party has a problem, the first thing that comes to mind is whether it can be solved, rather than being fired directly.

As for what Concubine Yu Gui did, it was also Concubine Yu's business, a matter of the harem, and when the time came, he would take care of it.

But the relationship between him and Nian Gengyao is between the monarch and his ministers and the court, which are two different things.

From a political point of view, it is extremely unfair to judge a courtier with his personal feelings.

It is impossible for him to implicate the affairs between men because of the affairs of the women in the harem.

This point, he has been clearly distinguished from beginning to end, and he is also very rational.

Fourth master has always been an extreme person.

If you love, you will go to heaven, if you hate, you will go to hell.

Obviously, he had more good impressions of Nian Gengyao than bad ones.

He wanted to give Nian Gengyao a chance to reform himself.

If it really doesn't work, he will personally send this courtier who has been picked up with one hand to hell!

In the days that followed, the courts were all watching.

They were looking to see if fourth master would make the next move against Nian Gengyao.

At the same time, they were also looking to see if Nian Gengyao would continue to die.

There is no doubt that you will never wake up a person who wants to continue to die.

Before Nian Gengyao committed suicide, persuasion was of some use.

At the beginning, he may still know who he is and who the master who once praised him is.

But once he was promoted by those officials, he was already immersed in the vortex of power and couldn't extricate himself.

He was even more dazzled by those powers and desires, and forgot who he was.

Therefore, even if the fourth master issued such an edict, he would still go his own way.

Because he is used to being wild in the northwest and on the battlefield.

He thinks he has capital, and his capital is the Northwest and the battlefield.

And it was determined that no one could control the Northwest except his Nian Gengyao.

He is even more confident that he thinks that without generals like him in the Qing Dynasty, others would not be able to win battles.

This led to a rebellion in Sichuan, even though Nian Gengyao was familiar with the area and was free in the capital.

The fourth master did not send Nian Gengyao there, but sent Wuge, who had just returned to Beijing, to redress the disturbance.

During this day and night, the fourth master flipped the signboard of the imperial concubine.

Of course, this one was too sick to go to bed.

Most of the fourth masters would just cover the quilt and sleep after watching two grids.

Especially after Si Gege was taken away by Ruoyin.

He basically sat down for a while and then returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When the eunuch from the respect room came to Yikun Palace to deliver a message, the imperial concubine was passively huddling in the corner of the bed, looking sullen, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She looked thinner and gaunter by the day.

A face was so pale that it completely lost its color and looked sick.

Originally full of collagen, the cheekbones are slightly raised.

"Yikun Palace lights up tonight!"

Until this thin voice sounded in Yikun Palace.
