Taipu Temple, a yamen that controls the emperor's carriage, horse and horse government, was first established in the Northern Qi Dynasty and has not been changed in the past dynasties. However, in the Qing Dynasty, it was set up again and again. Its fate was compared with the Dali Temple, which had a long history.

Changsi and Honglu Temple seem a bit bumpy.

It is said that it was originally established in the first year of Shunzhi, without a special government office, but was attached to the Qingli Department of the Ministry of War, which was in charge of the two-wing ranch. It was charged more than 600,000 taels of horses in Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Jiangnan to obtain more than 600,000 taels of silver.

The warehouse will be resold at the end of the year.

Due to some overlap with the powers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was abolished at the end of the year. The horse price levy of each province was exchanged for silver and money and grain, and the two-wing ranch was merged with the Ministry of War, the emperor, concubines, princes and other horses that were traveling at that time.

Supervisor, the current Ministry of Internal Affairs Shangsiyuan provides preparations.

Not long after, Zhu Hui, the then minister of the official department, requested the establishment of Zhan Shi Mansion, Taipu Temple monk Baosi and other yamen to recruit talents and calm people's hearts. Although Shunzhi was approved, the establishment of the reorganization was

The Taipu Temple is still attached to the Ministry of War, and it does not have to take care of the pasture or the horse government, but it is just a yamen for idle people.

In the third year of Yongzheng, Taipu Temple had its own yamen. However, it was not built on Taipu Temple Street, which was named after the Taipu Temple Yamen of the previous dynasty, but was built at the foot of the east city of Zhengyangmen.

Next to the Zhan Shi Mansion, and like the Zhan Shi Mansion, it has become the advancement rank of Hanlin officials, and still doesn't have to worry about Ma Zheng.

It was not until the sixth year of Qianlong that the left and right second department ranches were divided, and there was something to do.

Han Xiufeng, who thought Taipu Temple was very leisurely, came to the yamen for the first time and found Wenxiang very busy. He was in the public room and saw an official coming from outside the mouth. There were six or seven civil and military officials waiting to pay homage to him in the yard.

"Mr. Han, you finally come. Your public housing is here. Xiaguan has already sent someone to clean up..."

"Where is Lord Yulun and Lord Zhao?"

"Report to Lord Han, Lord Yulun is in peace and hasn't come for a while. If he really encounters important official duties, Lord Wen will go to his house to report. The emperor returned to the Old Summer Palace, and Lord Zhao was on duty at the Old Summer Palace every three times

I come back every five days, and Lord Wen is in charge of the daily affairs of the yamen."

Han Xiufeng followed the extremely attentive chief to enter the public room, sat down and asked with a smile, "Master Wang, what do those people outside do?"

The head of the king hurriedly said, "I don't know that although our Taipu Temple cannot compete with Siyuan, there are still two wings of horse factories outside the mouth. The left wing factory is north of Shishan, Dushikou, and two hundred in the east and west.

Duli, 170 miles wide from north to south; the right-wing factory was originally located in Waifeng Town, Datong, Shanxi, but later moved east to the south of the Dushikou Waidu Shanghe River, 70 miles long from east to west and 80 miles wide from north to south.

Such a large horse factory, and so many horses, it is impossible to take care of just one general manager, so there is one left and right wing general manager under the general manager, and the stable chief, shepherd chief, deputy shepherd deputy, and other civil servants in their respective horse factories;

There is also a defense of one on the left and right wings, and the military officers in the cavalry and military escorts in their respective horse factories are specialized in detecting and stealing horses and raising illegal people who are good at the grazing land."

Thinking of saying a lot of things, the head of the king hurriedly said: "There are so many civil and military officials in the two-wing horse factory, only the general manager is specially appointed. The rest of the general managers from the two-wing general managers are all planned by the general managers.

We will choose to introduce the remit here. Chief Mu, Deputy Mu, Mu Ding, Guardian and Deputy Chief, and the letters of the letters are all selected and appointed by the Chief Manager. Those outside are sent by the Chief Manager."

Han Xiufeng realized that the two horse factories outside the mouth of Taipu Temple were similar to the salt farm of the Salt Transport Department, and the factory officials were in charge of both horse raising and military service. The Taipu Temple Minister and the Taipu Temple Shaoqing and the Chief Executive Officer

The relationship is a bit like the relationship between the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Revenue and the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Commissioner or the Guangdong Customs Supervision. It is said to be someone's superior, but the emperor specially released it, not to mention that it is beyond reach and almost no matter what.

They can only go to inspect every few years.

Thinking that the two horse factories outside the Guankou of Taipu Temple were purely famous, Han Xiufeng asked curiously: "Is there a horse factory in Shangsiyuan?"

"Yes, Shangsiyuan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has a total of 17 stables and raises more than 700 horses in the imperial and Nanyuan. Four horse farms are set up outside the mouth and Shengjing and other places, not only raising horses but also camels. Officials are assigned to the posts

Horse-herding matters, and defense, cavalry and other lawsuits to arrest theft, and maintain the public security of the horse factory."

The King of Master Wang thought about it and said with a smile: "In fact, how many horse factories are there in our Taipu Temple and how many horses are raised? Whether it is Lord Zhao, Lord Wen or Lord Han, you are not important. The Emperor ordered you to be

I’m not really asking you to take charge of the horse management in the horse factory.”

“That’s true.”

"Please use tea, sir."

"I'll drink the tea later. Please help me to do something for me first." Han Xiufeng signaled Xiaoshandong to take out the money he had prepared early, and looked at him with a smile: "How many clerks and servants are there in the temple? I am the official

I can’t figure it out even if I first arrived, so I’ll help me take the money away.”

"Sir, you are too polite. Please go now."

Just as he sent the head of the king away, he was about to find some official documents to check it out, Enjun hurriedly walked in, signaled Xiaoshandong to go outside to guard, and then brought him to the door and said anxiously: "Second Master, I just led Guangdong Gang from the memorial office

The news sent by him saw the boss of Wen Zhongtang’s family coming to the palace to report the death!”

Han Xiufeng was shocked and suddenly stood up: "He was the old man who led the officials to the real record of the Hadith of the late emperor yesterday, why did he leave today?"

"On the way here I heard that Wen Zhongtang had forced himself to enter the palace yesterday, and exhausted his last bit of energy, so he fell down as soon as he got back. The emperor must be very sad to know the news!"

"It's not just the emperor, we are just as sad."

Wen Qing was not only the foreman of the military minister, but also the one who cared about the "Houyi Hall" the most among all the princes and ministers. When Wen Qing left, Eun-jun really felt like the sky had collapsed, and she couldn't help asking: "What should we do?"

"Prepare some money and wait until the class is over to pay their respects." Han Xiufeng took the Guangdong memorial copied from Enjun, and then said: "Mr. Wen is meeting an outside official opposite. You go over and follow me.

He said."

“Ware.”

Seeing Enjun leave, Han Xiufeng sat down again and looked at the report of Ye Mingchen, the Minister of Commerce and Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, copied by the Inner Memorial Office.

Although he was prepared, he couldn't stand it anymore after watching. He was thinking that the emperor, Prince Zheng, Prince Yi, Sushun, Bai Jue, Peng Yunzhang and other princes did not believe Ye Mingchen's nonsense. Wen Xiang hurriedly followed Enjun.

Come in.

"Zhixing, Wen Zhongtang is gone!"

"He left in a bad time. Bochuan, you can take a look at this first."

"What?"

"Ye Mingchen's report."

The letter was reported to the emperor and the princes and ministers in the court for more than a month, and the "Houyi Hall" also waited for more than a month. Wen Xiang didn't care whether Wen Qing's departure would cause turmoil in the court, so he hurriedly took it

The note started to read.

"... The British Consular Officer (Bashali) dared to enter the Provincial River by taking on the provocation, and disturbed the Liede Fort, and opened the empty cannons at the Dahuang Cellar Fort, since September 29th By the first day of October, they attacked the city wall and set fire, burned all the Jinghai Gate, Wuxian Gate, and nearby houses;

On the first day of the first day, he convened another two or three hundred people to destroy the city. After passing by the gang general Ling Fang and gentleman Ouyang Quan and others, he fell to death. On the ninth day of the first day, the Yi Yi drove from the Thirteen River surface and rushed straight to Dongdingtai. The soldiers and brave men destroyed the ships and killed their navy soldiers, and more than 400 bandits were injured and killed. Now the officials and others are sticking to the old city and mobilizing more than 20,000 naval and land soldiers to block and suppress the enemy."

Seeing this, Wen Xiang couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he threw down the memorial and said, "Baxiali fell to death, Ximaxi was killed, and he also killed more than 400 barbarian bandits in the formation. Is there any barbarian soldiers in the formation? He can kill so many barbarian soldiers in the formation. If you write it casually, it will be difficult to verify it in a while. But if the British Consul Bashali and the British Navy leader Yingxi and Malaysians each recover from the dead, how will he end then!"

"I'll talk about what happened in the future, but now no matter how he speaks nonsense, the emperor will believe it. Even if he knows that he is speaking nonsense, he can only believe it."

"How do you say this?"

"So what if you don't believe it? If someone changes to take over, it will take two or three months to arrive in Guangzhou. Even if you can take office tomorrow, can you still do better than him?"

Wen Xiang reacted and asked with a bitter face: "Zhixing, do you mean that the emperor would not blame him even if he knew he was talking nonsense?"

Han Xiufeng pondered: "As long as you can hold on, the emperor will not only not blame him, but may also be promoted to his official position. After all, it is not easy for him to last until now, but I don't know how long it can last. Qingxian's past lessons When I put it there, I guess the day when he can't stand it, it's when he was dismissed from office and arrested!"

"Zhixing, what will happen to him in the future is his business. The most urgent thing is what should we do next?" Wen Xiang became more and more worried as he thought about it. He stared at Han Xiufeng and said worriedly: "You are in charge of the 'Houyi Hall' now, and you will be inquiring. It is your duty to sort out and verify the feelings of the barbarians. If you write a memorial and expose his nonsense, the emperor will definitely not be happy; but if you do nothing, if you don’t see this memorial and nothing happens in front of you, then Not only will he be unlucky, but you will be blamed."

"Brother Bochuan, you can rest assured that I did nothing."

"What did you do?"

"I have ordered Yunqing to hurry to Guangdong, and I have sent Shizhen to Shanghai to see if the matter is like what he said in the memorial. If everything is true, it will be better. If the situation is out of control, you can do it at the camera."

Wen Xiang asked in surprise: "Zhixing, you can't even believe Yun Qijun and Ling Mei's words, right?"

Han Xiufeng took the note and said meaningfully: "It is better to send someone to see it."

Wen Xiang suddenly reacted and said amused and laughed and crying: "I understand, you are pretending to behave. You seem to have done a lot, but in fact you did nothing!"

"Pretending is better than doing nothing. At least you don't have to worry about our 'Houyi Hall' being implicated after Ye Mingchen's lies will be exposed in the future."

"You are really good at being an official. If you guess correctly, you didn't say anything to the adults from the Military Affairs Office when reporting to them."

“This is nature.”

Looking at Han Xiufeng's natural appearance, Wen Xiang finally understood why Han Xiufeng asked him to read this memorial and why he told him this. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I've been taught, but Wen Xiang is stupid. Brother, I'm a Wen Xiang learning.

Don't come!"

"You have to learn it if you can't learn it!"

Han Xiufeng stared at him and said sincerely: "Brother Bochuan, Wen Zhongtang is gone. Lord Sushun doesn't know if it is because he is provoked and treats me much worse than before. Guangdong is so tight, I

I guess this is just the beginning. It can be said that the "Houyi Hall" has reached the most difficult time. There are so many people in and outside the capital, and I will all point to you in the future."

"Point at me, what can I do?"

"Be an official, be a senior official!"

"Here I'm here again. I can't help but shelter from the wind and rain. I really don't know how to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."

"But for us, it's better to have hope than not."

This is Taipu Temple, not the 'Houyi Hall'. Han Xiufeng was worried that there were ears outside the wall and did not want to go around in circles anymore. He said bluntly: "Brother Bochuan, if you remember correctly, the general manager of the outside world is the Chahar general who served as the general.

, all the civil and military officials who came from outside were sent to the Chahar General, and according to the rules, the officials of the left and right horse factories must be appointed by the Chahar people, so I think as long as there is no resume.

If you write the name and age incorrectly, you will quickly hand it over to the Ministry of Personnel for introduction and supplementation according to the intention of the Chahar General."

Wen Xiang was planning to be a competent Taipu Temple Shaoqing, so he summoned candidates from outside to fill in the gaps and asked carefully about the big and small things in the horse factory. He also found that two were not only ignorant and even confused, but were planning to let them go.

Those two idiots got out of here, but they didn't expect Han Xiufeng to say that.

He was still unwilling to give up and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by observing the Harmony? What do you want me to do in Taipu Temple?"

"If one or two are rejected, they will send one or two more. Anyway, they can only use Chahar natives. Who is not using it?"

"But……"

"Brother Bochuan, there are not so many, but it is better to have more friends than to have less friends, let alone the generals." Seeing Wen Xiang stopping, Han Xiufeng changed his tone: "Don't forget that I am also Taipu Temple.

Shaoqing, I have the right to inquire about this matter."

"Okay, listen to yours, the remaining few are gone."

"That's right. How long can you stay here? No mistake is a merit. You can't offend people because of this." Han Xiufeng patted his arm and said helplessly: "I didn't plan to come at first."

As a result, because the emperor planned to reward me as a juren, he was roasted by Su Shun on the fire. In the future, he would have to be cautious and cautious in every word and action, so you have to find something for me to do."

"You don't let me do what I should do, where can I find something for you?"

"It's okay to find something and pretend."

Seeing that Han Xiufeng didn't seem to be joking, Wen Xiang asked again: "What does the relationship between you, the emperor, and Su Shun, why did you get roasted by him? Why didn't I hear any news?"
