Return to the Qing Dynasty (25)

Li Xu was completely isolated.

Chase shop at night, no place for him. However, the little eunuch beside the fifth elder brother appeared in time when he was being dried, "Hey, my Lord Li, why did you come here?" Where is this place for you? You call the little one easy to find! Come on, come on, the beds are all set up for you, and the best tiger skin mattress is still brought by the queen mother to the fifth elder brother before going out. ”

As a result, the place is good, although it is not wide, but a bed, a couch, a table and a chair, much better than the chase.

There is tea on the table, the snacks are still steaming, the small charcoal stove is blazing, and the bed is indeed covered with tiger skin mattresses, whether the queen brought it to the fifth elder brother I don't know.

Li Xu looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone still on the table, and his eyes froze. Even if it's spring and snow now, I'm afraid no one will believe it. So what can we do? Everyone says that they are old ministers, but old ministers are dead. The old minister means that there is no friendship with the new emperor, and no friendship means that there are no privileges available.

If you want to save your life, if you want to save the life of your family, it seems that there are not many choices for yourself.

This fifth elder brother is not very old, but his heart is also very vicious, and he is a master who can go down ruthlessly. Now I give myself a toast, and if I don't eat it, it will become a punishment drink.

So I sat down at the table and ate all the snacks and tea steadily. Then he began to grind, and he made this little material alone, and if he didn't pick it out, he was afraid that this fifth elder brother would not let go of himself.

Don't say anything about the debt, this person is only twelve years old after all, and a sentence of 'naughty boy' and 'nonsense', this promise is not counted at all. It is pure nonsense to talk to the royal people about whether a gentleman is a gentleman or not.

Xiao Luzi came over to collect the snacks, plates and tea, glanced at what Li Xu had written, and then took it back, and said to Hongyang when he went back: "In the end, it is the old minister of the first emperor, and he knows the current affairs." ”

Hongtian pursed his lips, rolled over and fell asleep. The boat was swaying, and I wanted to sleep for a long time.

The small road was covered for the master, and then he turned around and came out, and he had to stay outside every step of the way.

Li Wei waited for Xiao Luzi to come out, asked about the situation of the little master, and was very polite to Xiao Luzi, "...... If there is any situation, shout, there are people guarding outside, and no one can disturb the little master......"

Xiao Luzi hurriedly thanked him, he glanced at the deck, and saw that there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and even the windows of the cabin were guarded by people, he couldn't help but speak, "What's the matter? I'm afraid of running away?" But where can this go? This is floating on the lake, can it really swim back? On such a cold day, in the center of the lake, who is so good at water?

Li Wei waved his hand, "It's not that I'm afraid of running away, I'm afraid that some people will think too much and seek death directly." ”

Xiao Luzi was stunned, don't talk about this. Some people estimate that they can't afford to pay off those deficits, and some people probably want to die clean and leave their family wealth to their children and grandchildren when they die.

But who knows, this Master Li has blocked their way to death.

"You're busy, you're busy!" Xiao Luzi nodded, feeling that Master Li was also a person worthy of awe.

After he went back, he thought about it and whispered the matter in his master's ear. Hongtian only said 'um' to say that he knew. This slave only knows one and doesn't know the other, Li Wei asked so many people to guard it, not just for this. On the governors and envoys, there are also governors.

The governor and the political envoy are only important members of a province, but the governor is a feudal official. He has the military and political power of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and has the right to transfer troops to the Green Battalion. He slipped all the officials of a province out of the lake and floated on the lake, and the governor didn't get the news today, and he probably could get the news tomorrow. Maybe even sooner, if I get the news tonight, I can't say that I dare to come tomorrow morning.

When the time comes, what should I do when I meet someone else's person? Going beyond the subordinates of someone else's house is not in order. But if the rules followed, it wouldn't have worked. This happened under the Governor's nose, and he himself was guilty of 'not investigating'. No matter how much he is a Qincha, and then he is a prince, but he is also a bald brother who is less than twelve years old and is still a young son, and people will not come hard in the future? That is too naïve.

So this matter can only be resolved quickly.

"When the child is over, he will call him up. Hongtian turned over again, and then he really fell asleep.

Xiao Luzi didn't dare to sleep, and looked at the pocket watch in his hand. I didn't forget to go out quietly and told Li Wei and Honghui a few elder brothers.

As soon as the time came, as soon as Xiaoluzi's footsteps sounded, Hongtian woke up by himself.

Xiao Luzi took a hot handkerchief and came over to clean the master's face, "Master Li and the three masters are waiting outside." ”

"Take people. Hongtian wiped his face casually, "Hurry back to Beijing before dawn." ”

"How do you bring it?" Hongxuan heard it outside and raised his voice to ask, "According to the roster in our hands?"

"No!" Hongtian came out of the inside, raised his hand to comb his braids, and did not comb it again, pointing outside and motioning for the others to follow, "Ask one by one." See what they can all say. ”

But this question was asked from the early hours of the morning until almost dawn, and after the question was finished, he was also worried.

Why?

The people on the list didn't run. Seeing that he was sold by a colleague or boss, he didn't deny it, and it didn't mean to deny it. In the final analysis, the fifth elder brother just wants money. After taking the money, the account is settled. I'll talk about it later. Although it doesn't sound like it's true. But the first is that Jiangnan really needs stability, and the second is that there is no other way but to believe, in the end, it is a fluke.

With a confession, it's easy to do. It's not so easy to think about it again. The boat was going out to deliver news one by one, and there were people arranged by Li Wei outside to fetch the silver. You don't have to worry about these things.

What he wants to worry about is that there are many people who are okay, but there are no ones on the list, and he still thinks that they are good officials, and their psychological quality is not up to par, so he didn't ask much, so he left it alone.

An old county magistrate was particularly impressed by Hongday, and knelt down when he came in, "...... The old minister is wrong, the old minister is sorry for the first emperor, the old minister is ashamed of the emperor, and the old minister will not be able to atone for his sins...... and then he will cry bitterly, saying how much he collects salt merchants every year, how many silk merchants he collects, etc., Hongyang remembers that his hands hurt, "These people ...... Some people are extremely close to the minister's superiors, and they are the ones who have been told by the ministers to take care of them over and over again, so what can the ministers do? If they don't take care of themselves, this son will not be able to sit in the minister's turn. But the minister took care of it, and people sent gifts, which is not to offend people. People should think about it more. But the minister swears, not a penny of that silver is the people's fat and the people's anointing......"

But this bribery is also a crime!

Hongjun was a little unbearable, and after the person left, he said in a low voice: "We heard about this person when we inquired about Jiangnan officials before, and in the mouths of the people, the reputation is still good." There was no such person on the list, so he always thought that this was a clean official. Who would have thought?

Hongyang scratched his head, up and down, as soon as he heard that he could pass without being held accountable for taking silver, he could take out the silver one by one, and shouted again and again, after today, they must change their minds and never commit again.

But they are too neat, and Lisuo's Hongtian can't react at all.

Is it possible to bring back all the people up and down?

This is absolutely not a no-go.

It's impossible not to mess up.

What to do?

Li Wei asked someone to take the silver with the slip, and then turned his face to look at Hongday, "Fifth elder brother, in one more hour, the sky will be bright." ”

What to do?

Get an idea!

Hongyang looked at the Xiāng zǐ things that Hongyu and them took turns to write down, gritted his teeth and said: "The people on the list are taken away, and the people who are not on the list are all placed in another boat, let them go first, and let them go to their posts." "And let them spread to the ears of some people that their policy of only money should not be settled. "As for the people on the list, they will be escorted back to Beijing directly from another waterway. ”

Hongxuan hurriedly said: "Fifth elder brother, there is no Qing official here!"

I don't know.

Hongtian couldn't explain to him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Just do it, I'll stand up to something if something happens." ”

Li Wei nodded, "The slave sent the little master across this river, and then returned to get the silver, and he will return to Beijing with the silver in the near future." ”

As long as you reach the boundary of the canal, you will be safe. No one dares to go wild here.

Now after all, it's on someone's territory.

Hongtian had no objection, "Arrange it immediately, don't delay." ”

Speeding all the way into the canal, Hongtian stood on the deck, and could see several clippers chasing behind.

Honghui finally found the problem, "What kind of ship is this?

Hongjun was kind, and when he saw Li Wei leave with the two guards and change boats, he was a little worried, "Is he okay alone?"

Hongli shook his head, Huang Ama dared to call Li Wei out, which proved that this guy who was not good-looking should have some ability.

He smiled a little lightly, "This river is fresh, and when I go back to the capital, it's hard to eat so fresh." As he spoke, he asked someone to bring the boom, "Bring the charcoal pot and the copper pot, and eat it while shabu, it is really delicious." ”

Hongxuan immediately jumped out in response, "Take another iron rack and bake it and eat it." ”

When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, this is a good hand.

The four of them ate and drank, completely leaving Li Wei behind.

Xiao Luzi stood at the bow of the boat, watching from a distance that this Lord Li's boat slowly turned into a black spot, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Lord Li Wei ...... Can he?

"He can do it!" the fourth master took the urgent recital sent by Li Wei and answered Lin Yutong categorically. With that, he got up and went to his desk.

"What to write?" Lin Yutong followed and directly started grinding for him.

"A holy decree to Tang Wenyao, the governor of Liangjiang. The fourth master said, but he didn't stop in his hand.

Lin Yutong glanced at it twice, and it turned out to be a rebuke. Then she understood what it meant. The Governor of Liangjiang was in charge of the important military and political affairs of the three provinces, and Jiangsu was the most important. Jiangsu is not only the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the richest granary of the entire Qing Dynasty so far, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a 'money bag'. Hongday's time, almost the entire Jiangsu officials were taken. This thing is not only big, it is almost going to break the sky. Does Tang Wenyao have any responsibility? This responsibility is great. If he had known the news first, it would have been impossible for Hongtian and Li Wei to get things done smoothly at all. Regardless of whether there is a problem with this Tang Wenyao himself, as an official in charge, it is much more likely to cover it than to lift the lid. What is he most afraid of now, what he is most afraid of is that he will be taken down together.

At this time, an excerpt of reprimand is more useful than an excerpt of appeasement. Those who are officials are not afraid of being scolded from above, but they are afraid that they will not even be scolded from above. scolded, even if the anger above is out, even if this matter has not passed, it is nothing serious. But if you don't scold, you're holding back your big move.

Therefore, the fourth master used a reprimanded excerpt to appease Tang Wenyao, which was to relieve Li Wei from the siege.

"I'm afraid this person is not very innocent. Lin Yutong said, and blew the brother that the fourth master had written, and then gently picked it up and put it aside, signaling Su Peisheng to pay attention.

The fourth master laughed, "There are thirty-six wives in the house, and he can't afford to support his little money." ”

It's just that I can't move it for the time being.

This time the children made a big enough noise.

Lin Yutong was worried about Hongday, "There are four children in this line, not only our Hongday......" The child is also a baby.

"Thirteen has already arranged for someone to pick it up. As soon as the fourth master spoke, he instructed Su Peisheng, "Call Zhang Boxing and Zhang Pengxi." ”

Zhang Boxing is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, once served as the governor of Jiangsu, and the most shining political achievements were also in the governor of Jiangsu, when it was still about 45 years of Kangxi, and Zhang Boxing played a vital role in the Kali tān ū case of the governor of Liangjiang at that time. He has always been known for his honesty and integrity.

And Zhang Pengxi is now a scholar of Wenhua Pavilion, one of the officials promoted by the first emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, and the first emperor once praised him and said, "There is no one in the world who is honest and honest", which shows how prosperous his reputation for honesty is. Since he was an official promoted by the first emperor in Jiangnan, he used to be an official in Jiangnan, and was once promoted to the governor of Liangjiang, and later served as the secretary of the criminal department, the secretary of the household department, and the secretary of the military department.

After going through the resumes of these two people in his heart, Lin Yutong knew it in his heart. The fourth master planned to ask these two people to preside over the Jiangsu tān ūwo case.

It was not good to see the minister, so Lin Yutong came out of the study and went to the back.

"Master. Bi Tao replaced Zizhu and became the last powerful big girl by her side, "Master, Grandpa Zhang is back, and the slave maid saw that the master had not come back, so she asked him to go down and change his clothes first." ”

Lin Yutong's hand stopped when he took off his big clothes, so Zhang Qilin is back?" ”

Bi Tao answered and went down, before Lin Yutong's cup of tea cooled, Zhang Qilin hurried in, "Master Niangniang......"

"Don't be polite. Lin Yutong called out and asked directly, "How is the matter that asked you to inquire?"

"Back to Niangniang's words, it's roughly clear. Zhang Qilin got up and saw that there were no other people in the room, so he whispered, "Yue Xing'a is not on an errand, and the relationship with Tong Sanye's father and son is very indifferent." It's a little closer to Lord Kwadai. ”

Yue Xing'a is the son born to Long Keduo and his original partner, and Kwa Dai is the cousin in the next room.

"How is Kwa Dai a person?" Lin Yutong asked about this person.

Zhang Qilin did not hesitate, only said: "I miss the words of Tong Xiang......"

Tong Xiang refers to Tong Guowei.

Remembering the prominence of Tong Guowei's Tong family in the court. It's human nature. No matter how beautiful Long Ke is, this scenery can't reach his cousin. It's not unusual to have a little resentment about the present.

Lin Yutong nodded, "I heard that this Third Master Tong and the concubine named Li Si have a son......

"Yes!" Zhang Qilin didn't understand why Niangniang was so interested in Tong Sanye's family affairs, but he should inquire, he inquired about everything that the master might be emotionally about, "This young master's name is Yuzhu, and now he is the envoy of the inner guard and the envoy ......of Luanyi."

Luan's envoy is the honor guard of the emperor's travel. I can't be on a errand a few times a year, but I can show my face in front of people every time, my work is easy and decent, and I am rewarded with a lot of silver, which is a place that many princes and nobles are rushing to arrange for their children.

The eldest son has nothing to do, but the second son is in the position of Luan Yi envoy.

That's intriguing.

Zhang Qilin seemed to know what Lin Yutong was thinking, and said directly: "I heard that the little concubine once threatened to inherit his son to the title of first-class duke outside, but then I don't know how this Yue Xing'a said that he moved Kua Dai and said that he moved the clan, so this matter was temporarily put on hold." ”

There is an eldest son, where is there a reason for a concubine to inherit the title. The clan will interfere, but this Yue Xing'a is not all stupid.

Zhang Qilin whispered another thing, "Yue Xing'a's wife is Mrs. Kwa Dai's maiden niece. ”

No wonder.

"What is the temperament of these two brothers?" Lin Yutong thought for a while and asked again.

Zhang Qilin knew that the queen asked not only about temperament, but also about relationships.

He pondered it in his heart, and then said cautiously: "Yue Xing...... He has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to cause trouble, and he rarely hears about him outside, even if Third Master Tong is in full swing now, there are very few people who talk about this eldest young master......"

Mild temperament means that the attack power is insufficient, and he does not like to cause trouble, and to a certain extent, he is accustomed to retreating and is a little cowardly. rarely hears about him outside, which proves that Long Keduo really doesn't care much about this son and doesn't value it much, and Yue Xing'a seems to accept this well, and he is very low-key.

"As for the ...... Yuzhu," Zhang Qilin paused, still telling the truth, "This young master is not like his Ama Eniang, he is flamboyant but not domineering, he is stubborn but he does not bully men and women and other radical things......"

Lin Yutong was a little surprised, this means that Li Si'er's son is a little naughty, but he is not bad.

Zhang Qilin met Lin Yutong's gaze and nodded, "The relationship between these two brothers is quite harmonious, not long ago, Yue Xing'a was bullied, but Yuzhu helped to get justice...... Even for the sake of the title, Yuzhu found the clan and said that it should have been his eldest brother, and Li Si'er was sick for a ......"

If this is true, this is a good bamboo shoot.

"Got it!" Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Let's go down." ”

Zhang Qilin stood up and silently retreated.

Lin Yutong was idly arranging the chess pieces on the table, and the affairs of the Tong family really made two senses. Especially Yue Xing'a, this person may be useful, she put the chess piece in her hand on the chessboard, what effect will this inconspicuous chess piece play here.

Just thinking about it, Bi Tao came in and whispered: "Concubine Yu smashed Changchun Palace, and she has been waiting for half an hour." ”

Geng's?

This is the eighteenth time she has asked to see her since Hongyang left the capital.

Although it is said that the mother of the child is worried, people like Geng are only willing to tie their children to their side for safety, which is definitely a very small minority.

passed, and sure enough, I saw Geng's face waiting in the hall with an embarrassed face, and the people below were not lazy, and Hongshi's daughter-in-law Dong Eshi was still accompanying him.

Lin Yutong came in and sent Dong E's family, "Go! Hongshi can't get it alone...... These two people have been soaking in the greenhouse for the past few days, and they don't know what they are tossing. However, Dong E's is very happy, and it is rare for the couple to stay together. After all, he is the son of Chengnian, and he runs to his mother's palace alone, which is not in accordance with the rules. Whether you want to or not, you have to bring your daughter-in-law anyway. For this reason, Dong E's is grateful to Lin Yutong.

Seeing Lin Yutong calling her to go, she turned around and served tea herself, and then withdrew.

Geng's embarrassed smile: "Sanfujin is really filial......"

Filial piety or not filial piety can not be said in the royal family, it is not unfilial, it is not unfilial, it is not unfilial. Moreover, if you hide here, you don't have to face Concubine Qi.

Lin Yutong pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down!" looked at Geng's sitting and said, "I know you are worried about Hongday, but Hongday is not only your son, but also the son of Long Live Lord." He has to be the son of the Long Live Lord first, the fifth elder brother of the entire Qing Dynasty, and then the son of your concubine. You understand this truth, and you should have understood it a long time ago. Born in the royal family, enjoying wealth and honor, there must be responsibilities and obligations, which cannot be avoided. ”

The concubine was terrified. Geng stood up a little panicked, the royal family's words can be said to be admonishment. She just wants her child to keep to herself, and live her life peacefully, what's wrong?

Lin Yutong sighed, "Sit down." She felt that she had to say it thoroughly, "Geng, if this is placed in an ordinary family, when the son is older, what are parents most worried about?"

"Most worried?" Geng pursed the corners of his lips, "What I'm most worried about is not following the right path, not being able to stand on my own feet, and not being able to support my family." ”

"Yes!" Lin Yutong recognized her words, "Born in the royal family, if you go the wrong way, you will die." But there is no need to worry about self-reliance and self-reliance, and there is no need to think about raising a family at all, anyway, there is a grandfather, and with the identity given by his emperor Amma, he can ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. But...... Have you asked the child, what kind of person he wants to be, do you think about what kind of person he wants to be, and what kind of person he can be, do you know what kind of person he can be?

Geng Shi was dumbfounded, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lin Yutong wanted to say more, but Bi Tao came in, saying that Mama Ping from Cining Palace was here.

"Please. Lin Yutong stood up and straightened the clothes on his body to show respect.

Geng Shi got up and stood behind Lin Yutong, looking a little cramped.

Mama Ping came in to greet her, and said, "Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has a message to Concubine Yu." ”

To Geng's?

Lin Yutong was stunned, Geng's face turned white, and he knelt down with a pop.

Mama Ping's face was expressionless, and she said in the tone of the queen mother: "Geng's, the fifth elder brother is the emperor's imperial elder brother, with the emperor's control, the queen's upbringing, and the gentleman's teaching in the study. The mourners are asking you now, do you know who you are?"

Geng's forehead was pressed to the ground, not daring to speak.

Lin Yutong sighed in his heart, the Geng family has indeed passed a little recently, and he runs to Changchun Palace three times a day, there is no such reason. It's not that I can't control it, but after all, I'm the mother of other people's children, and it's not wrong to manage it. I and the fourth master are considerate, and we are all considerate. But the Queen Mother couldn't understand. She probably felt that she didn't have a concubine as a queen, and she didn't want to offend the concubines who had children. I'm here to support myself. Thinking about it, the Queen Mother once had nothing to do with the fourth master and the fourteenth, and none of her two sons were involved in upbringing. Everything is what the first emperor said, and it has never been overstepped.

Even the concubines of ordinary families have no reason to be taught by their aunts. It's not what my grandmother says what. Sometimes Geng's in this regard may not be as good as Li's.

It's the current Hongshi, who has Fujin on his side all day long, what did the Li family say?

If the Geng clan interferes with Hongtian getting close to him, then it's okay, it's all a trivial matter. But now she is interfering in major affairs, and it is a major event of the imperial court. Check tān ū What a big deal this is, and it came out that the fifth elder brother's mother didn't want the fifth elder brother to mix, what was going on?

Isn't it a mess?

Caring is chaotic, what he said is Geng's.

So the Queen Mother spoke. Said very simply, you kept telling Hongtian to stick to your duty, do you still remember who you are, what your identity is, and what your duty is?

Where has Geng ever heard such a thing, and when he asked in one sentence, the sweat of the cold day immediately came down.

However, the Queen Mother can be regarded as saving face for the Geng family, and only asked someone to announce the oracle, and it was only in Lin Yutong's palace. I don't know much, I don't say anything, and I can't go outside.

This is where the Queen Mother is kind.

Seeing the Geng family leaving in embarrassment, Lin Yutong then ordered, "Whoever dares to talk too much outside, go to the Shen Criminal Division to stay." After speaking, he smiled and asked Mama Ping, "Sit down and have a cup of tea, this year's winter tea is good......"

"No!" Mama Ping smiled humbly, "Knowing that the mother is busy, the slave will not bother, and she will return to the queen mother when she goes back." ”

Lin Yutong asked Bi Tao to send people out in person, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that having time to be too democratic and too easy to talk about yourself is indeed not beneficial to the management of the harem.

When Mama Ping went back, she learned everything from the Queen Mother before and after: "...... The queen decreed that it would not be called a foreign legend, it seems that you are right, there is no need to specifically explain that the queen will do the same. This is indeed a kind person. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Be kind, be kind, these children will have a better life." As he spoke, his brows furrowed again, "The one from the Eternal Shou Palace...... It's just that she wants to manage too much, and if Geng also learns from her, a good child will have to be taught badly. ”

This is the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with Concubine Xi.

Mama Ping said in her heart, if she doesn't say anything else, she is just too anxious. The Queen Mother met with a few family members, and Concubine Xi invited An to come to Baba's shàng mén. For what, isn't it just that the Queen Mother's family brought two nieces and granddaughters over? What kind of idea did the Queen Mother know? has been in the palace all his life, and he has not memorized things, but he has pondered people.

She persuaded: "You, you just said that the concubines must not be clean when they leave the palace, and you are worried about it again." Why bother?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "The adopted son is a hundred years old, and he is ninety-nine years old." The fourth brother is now ...... "Put the sixth elder brother Hongsheng here, smart people won't think too much, that stupid person can't think too much? Do you think that you have to be biased towards this child? Two-year-old children, they are all old, that is, they are biased, can they raise for a few years, and wait until the child grows up? This is all the trouble that the fourth child has found. As he spoke, he immediately paused as he remembered something, "When will Hongtian return to the palace?" When you come back, you tell me......, "It's good to have good intentions, and it's not good for the child to misunderstand."

Mama Ping smiled bitterly in her heart, in fact, the Queen Mother didn't have to be so thoughtful at all. Her own son became the emperor, and she had the power to do whatever she wanted, but looking at it like this, she was more cautious.

People can't stand the chatter, no, so many people are looking forward to reading, Hongday finally came back on the eighth day of the lunar month.

Laba porridge is available, sweet and salty, but where can I drink it?

Hongtian knelt in front of the fourth master at this moment, and there was a confession that was said to be a handprint on the side.

"Get up and speak. The fourth master looked at Hongtian who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help laughing. There was a dragon in the warm pavilion, and a thick blanket on the floor, and he knelt on his knees, but his ass sat on his own calves, and he was not tired. But he got up to speak, and he had to stand, so he was very disciplined, and would rather kneel than never get up. He didn't have a hard time for the child's chair, "Sit on the kang." ”

Hongyang doesn't dare!

He didn't know if what he had done this time had been done or not. In the past few days, the news has reached the capital. The capital was in an uproar.

Do you have anyone who does this? Circle all the ministers of civil and military affairs into boats and lay them in the middle of the lake for questioning. Do you dare not say this? Not to mention that you have to be thrown into the water and soaked?

Sensational!

Some people say that these confessions are not counted, and although this is not torture, it is of a similar nature. Where can such a confession be used as evidence in court? Some are more moderate and modest, and only say that they can be used as a reference, but they cannot be used as evidence for conviction.

There is also the impeachment of the imperial history, and the folds in front of the fourth master are all piled up. Some of them are admonished, persuading the fourth master not to be nepotistic, and not to listen to and believe because the fifth elder brother is a prince. Some said that the fifth elder brother was young and did things according to his likes and dislikes, and the officials who were brought back to the capital should be sent back to their posts and compensated.

Hongtian expected it when he didn't return to the capital, so he wasn't surprised, even if there was something wrong, there was nothing that could not be forgiven if he was a child. But what really scared him was something else," ...... Jiangnan guān chǎngtān ū Zhifeng Zhisheng surprised his son...... "He also told those who had not intended to investigate the confessions," these people are guilty, and their sins are unforgivable. But the son still made the decision, and took the silver back first, but as for the people, he put it back......" As he spoke, he carefully looked at the face of the fourth master, "The one who brought back to the capital is still the person on the list you gave to your son...... In addition, Li Xu has another report, please preview it for Huang Amma. ”

When the fourth master saw that he didn't get up, he stopped screaming, and knelt if he loved.

He took the fold handed over by Hongday, and he didn't rush to read it, he didn't need to read it to know what Li Xu would write. It's just to recall the first emperor, and ask yourself to read some old feelings in front of the first emperor. Then it was the determination to serve the new king, and in the end, he must have written out the little ingredients in his stomach, picked out some things that he could get his hands on, hoping that he would open up for the sake of his so-called loyalty.

Flipping to the side, the fourth master looked at Hongyang and asked about the fact that he had released some people privately, "What do you think?" "Very interested.

Hongyang glanced at the fourth master, and saw that this expression didn't look like he was angry, so he became bold again, "Huang Ama, the sons didn't think much about it?" Huang Ama said that things have to be done, but Jiangnan can't be chaotic. Then the son will take care of the matter first. What to do, one is a corrupt official, and the other is silver. The son thought that the matter of money was more important than that of corrupt officials. However, the failure to kill corrupt officials is not enough to warn people's hearts and appease public grievances. There is also a saying that there are three fires for new officials to take office, even those who are officials, not to mention Huang Ama you. This is the first fire you have since you ascended the throne, and it will be lit no matter what. Therefore, even if this corrupt official does not have money, he still has to do what should be done. ”

The fourth master nodded, ordinary people don't dare to say such things. To put it bluntly, isn't the new official holding the post of three fires just to establish authority? This authority will be erected no matter what, so although there is a certain political risk in rectifying a large number of corrupt officials, he still does it. He also said that he was focusing on the silver. Why silver, it is because the war needs it. In his mind, there is a standard for measuring the weight. When internal troubles and external worries coexist, put aside internal troubles and relieve external worries first.

He didn't say a word, and motioned for Hongyang to continue.

"Second, we still have to listen to Huang Ama. Huang Ama said that Jiangnan can't be chaotic, so this Jiangnan must not be chaotic. If all the officials in Jiangsu are brought back, the result will be that everyone in Jiangnan is in danger, and the people in Jiangnan are panicked. Therefore, the son let the people go, not to let them go, but to postpone them. These people have personal virtues, but they are not obviously at fault in major matters, so the son feels that it is wise to take a step back and give the court some time. ”

"Third......" Hongtian looked at the fourth master carefully, "Third, I still have to listen to Huang Ama's words......"
