The matter of Ao Bai was solved, and Emperor Kangxi's eyes moved to Kali's body. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the south study, Emperor Kangxi was sitting behind the table, and there were several ministers around him. When the debriefing came in, he didn't pay attention to who these people were, and when he came to Emperor Kangxi's dragon book case, he shook his horseshoe sleeves, knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Kangxi three times: "Slave Liangjiang Governor Kali see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Without the usual polite words of "flat body, Aiqing please get up", Kali didn't dare to get up, knelt on the spot, and waited for the emperor's order. ”

At this time, I heard a person behind me say, "Governor Ka begins to report on his work." "It must be an official who evaluates the performance of the ministry. Kali felt that the voice was very rusty, but he didn't dare to look back. Quickly agreed to a "whoosh".

After thinking about it for a while, Kali began to talk eloquently. Starting with how he managed the army, he talked about how to solve a series of thorny things that happened in the process of managing the army. to the close cooperation with the local chief executive, the governor, so that Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other areas do not close their doors at night, the road is not left behind, a peaceful scene.

It's a pity that Emperor Kangxi, who listened to his debriefing, didn't seem to be in high spirits, and even yawned three times in succession. Kali's eloquence is quite good, and the language that he has polished and processed is truly witty.

"Ka Aiqing, you come to me, I have something to ask you."

Kali hurriedly walked a few steps to the Kangxi Emperor Long's case, waiting for the emperor's questioning. Kali is known for his eloquence, answering the emperor's questions are always answered, and the wording is rigorous, and he was once relied on by the Shunzhi Emperor, and he was promoted quickly. Kali served as the governor of Shanxi and had a strong ability to do things. However, from this time on, he was already greedy for ink. Not only is he greedy, but he also indulges his officials in abusing the people. After serving as the governor of Liangjiang, he became even more greedy and arrogant. He has made forced gifts to enrich the people, openly solicited bribes, shielded corrupt officials, and framed colleagues.

The truth of history is that Kali lived in Kangxi for about 40 years, and successively served as the head of the household department and the prefect of Suzhou. Not only was he greedy, but he also framed his colleagues, resulting in the dismissal of many colleagues. He was also involved in cheating in the examination room. The most serious thing is that he and his wife, younger brother, and godson put poison in food to murder his mother, and his mother denounced it in front of Emperor Kangxi. Kangxi asked the Criminal Department to try the case, which is true. The Criminal Department Dingkari should be sentenced to capital punishment (Ling Chi), his wife was hanged, his younger brother and godson were beheaded, and the family property was confiscated from the government. But Emperor Kangxi ordered Kali to commit suicide, his wife died with him, and the others were beheaded. Emperor Kangxi commented on it, "Kali is more than enough, he is sensitive and practiced, and he likes to do things." His mother is still ashamed of her deeds, and her crime cannot be punished! ”

At this time, Kangxi hated Kali very much, and his degree was even worse than hating Aobai. At least it's for

The Great Qing Kingdom really sold his life, and Kali opened his mouth to lie and talk big, and his face was neither red nor white when he slapped his beard. was originally a lustful, delicious and wholehearted person, but he made a sanctimonious appearance. The most hateful thing is that he covets a lot of silver, and dresses himself up as a man with clean sleeves. What's even more hateful is that after Bing'er Xue'er forced him to hand over the stolen silver downstairs of the eighth aunt to help the victims last time, he didn't repent and continued to be greedy for ink! In a few years, he accumulated a large amount of stolen money, jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. There is also looted silver, real estate, etc. It was as if those things were his political achievements, glorious and worthy of showing off, and they were used as a matter of course, and there was no shame at all.

Cher's eyes are more thorough, and the distance from objects is farther and clearer. In the Jingshi's house, you can see the things in the secret room downstairs of the eighth aunt of Kali Jinling, even if they are stacked together, you can see through them. She told Emperor Kangxi how much silver, how much gold ingots, how much the title deed, as well as jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques were all recorded in the book according to categories, and the figures obtained after summarization were summarized.

Kangxi thought it was the result of the last interrogation between Bing'er and Xue'er, and it didn't arouse any suspicion.

Poor Kali didn't know that death was coming. He came on horseback, because riding a horse was more majestic than riding in a sedan chair, and when he was tired, he went to sleep in the covered carriage that he had been following. Just when he arrived at the boundary of Shandong, he met a team of Ouchi guards wearing yellow coats on the official road, about 20 people, all of whom were on horseback. Passing by Kali's chariots and horses, Kali never dreamed that these people would come to his governor's palace and the governor's house to carry the stolen goods that he had embraced from ink.

It was normal to meet Ouchi's guards on the official road, and Kali even greeted them.

It is the time of the annual debriefing time, and the officials who have been released from various localities must report on their work to the official department according to their rank. Officials above the third rank directly faced the emperor to tell about their political achievements. Officials in remote areas report on their work once every three years, as is the case with Wu Sangui. Kali is once a year, because Jinling is not very far from Jingshi and the water and land transportation is very convenient. Kali is very willing to come to the capital to report on his work, he has a three-inch tongue, the dead can say that they are alive, and there are no political achievements that can be made up, anyway, the emperor has no time to investigate carefully. Even if you go to check, you can't find a common person to ask: How is Kali? That's the emperor! He had to investigate with the officials below Kali, so who had a few heads and dared to say "no" to Kali? Besides, the ancestor of Kali was the founding father of the Qing Dynasty! Even if there is a little problem with Kali, it is also a flaw. Who is unlucky in the end? Second, this time he was going to Rui Wangfu as a guest, to investigate people's rumors, I heard that Rui Wangye's daughter Xue Gege was sold to the Qinglou of the Qinhuai River by Aobai, and later walked the rivers and lakes with the benevolent and righteous class Zhao class master who rescued her and married Zhao class master, which is the little beauty he once wanted to occupy. For this reason, Kali also sent people to the Ruizhu Monastery to investigate. This time he came to Beijing, Kali also brought the treasures he obtained, glass tea sets, and eagle ornaments, and wanted to present them to the emperor, in case the emperor knew that he had forced Xue Gege to serve her bed, he could also be accommodating. Then I can find a way to remedy it myself! The emperor will never refuse the baby, right?

Experience kills. How did the Kali know that what was waiting for him was "click"? He also walked around the street proudly. I returned to the pavilion, rested for a while, and thought about how to answer the prince's questions. No matter how powerful the princes of one side are, they have to kneel and kowtow when they see the prince. This prince is a famous 9,000-year-old! Kali knocked on the door of the palace, and was led into the hall by the servant to wait for the prince, but he couldn't wait. He was a little flustered, what do you mean? Could it be that that chick is really Xuegege? That's a big deal! The prince has a fairy daughter! Eniang, how can it be so coincidental! Stinky prince, what song and dance do you want Gege to perform! What do you do to make Gege so pretty? If you don't lend Kali eight guts, you won't dare to fight Gege's idea! His heart was going up and down, and the prince came with a smile: "Haha, isn't this the Lord of the princes?" Why are you so idle to visit this palace? ”

Kali hurriedly knelt down: "Slave Kali see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

"Lord Ka, please hurry up, you're welcome, please take a seat, come on, serve tea!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Lord Karma came to Beijing to report on work, right? It's hard, and the officials who are released are very hard. Lord Karma came to this palace and thought that there was something wrong? Please speak up. ”

"Where, Xia Guan heard about the prince's 'exotic' adventure in Jinling, and he was so lucky to be able to travel the same way with the world's masters to travel through the famous mountains and rivers!"

"This king has traveled with the world's masters, and he went with this king, Chen Fujin, and Tian Chief. There is no adventure, that is, I bought some daily necessities, food, clothing, play, there are women and children in the house, just want to be fresh, and the things there are more exquisite. ”

"Oh, that's right. There are rumors that the things brought back by the prince are rare treasures and are worth a fortune. Zhao of the Renyi class, who went to Jinling to perform acrobatics, ...... "He stopped talking and looked at the expression of the prince.

The prince asked casually: "Class Master Zhao?" Do you know? ”

"No, Xia Guan didn't know about it. It was a jeweler from Jinling who brought a rare treasure to Xiaguan, something called a glass tea set, which was particularly beautiful and beautiful. The lower officials didn't dare to use it without permission, and wanted to give it to the emperor, but they didn't know the real price, and they learned that the prince had a lot of treasures, so he wanted to ask the prince to appraise it, but he could give it to the emperor. ”

"This king is a martial artist, why don't you find a jewelry store for this appraisal?"

"The prince will please do the subordinate a favor. Even if you haven't seen this, do you have knowledge? ”

"Look at what Lord Karma said sincerely, then take a look, say in advance, this king is a martial artist."

"You're welcome." Kali personally opened the package and presented the glass tea set and eagle to the prince. Kali's eyes were fixed on the prince's face, he was a man who had always been observant, and not a single expression could escape his eyes. But today he didn't capture the expression he needed, but replied ambiguously: "Oh, Lord Ka, you will really be difficult to be the king." The king heard that these things are found in the south, and they are very valuable. ”

What the prince said was indeed true, and he avoided the situation of "foreign land".

As soon as he heard that it was valuable, Kali's face bloomed.

"This ornament is for the prince, please smile."

"Lord Ka, this king has always refused to accept gifts, so don't embarrass this king. It's not that this king pretends to be high, but that the people in Buddhism are not subject to windfalls. Your kindness is received by the king, and you bought it with your money, so please take it back. ”

Kali walked away in embarrassment.

In the south study of Emperor Kangxi, Kali impassionedly described his brilliant achievements to the emperor and returned to his seat. Kangxi smiled and said to Kali, "Ka Aiqing, please come to me." Kali was flattered and hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor, and the next thing should be the reward.

"Kali." Kangxi's voice was as calm as the moon on the third and fourth days of the new year, and he felt a little cold.

"The minions are here." Kali was a little uneasy.

"Are you guilty?" The voice was still as calm as water, but it was icy water.

"Your Majesty, don't scare the minions, the minions are very bold." When he said this, Kali's heart was beating unkempt, and he felt a little bad.

"I'm asking you, are you guilty?" The emperor's voice suddenly raised a lot.

"The minions don't know. The servants are loyal to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, and since they became the governor of Liangjiang, they have not dared to slack off......"

"Yes, you are right, you dare not slack off, but not conscientiously and diligently in government affairs, but to make money! I ask you, is your annual income enough to buy thousands of taels of silver for glass tea sets, eagles, and jewelry? You don't drink the northwest wind to get by, do you? ”

"Brush!" Kali's cold sweat came down: "Your Majesty, listen to the slave's explanation!" ”

"Can you first explain where the jewels and jade worth tens of millions of taels of silver buried under your eighth aunt's house came from? Can you explain how much that silver spent? Later, how much was greedy for ink? ”

When Kali heard this, he fainted, and all the ministers were shocked: "How can the emperor even know what is buried underground in Kali?" It's amazing, it's so wise, it's terrible! How old is he? Sixteen years old! Could it be that he is the eye of the sky? But it's broken, and he hides his own silver! ”

"Someone! Wake me up with cold water! I haven't finished asking yet, and I want to pretend to be dead? ”

A bucket of cool water from the well that had just been drawn from the well was poured on Kali's body, and Kali suddenly sobered up and became a chicken in the soup, and the majesty of the past was swept away. Although the whole body was still dripping with water, and he was shivering with cold, he had to quickly kneel in front of the emperor again: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the instigation of traitors and villains......

Kangxi was on fire at that time: he picked up the stone paperweight on the table and threw it at Kali, and was pulled by Wei Dongting, the personal guard next to him, otherwise he would die if he hit his head. "The emperor is angry! You haven't finished asking, how can you be guilty of being killed? ”

"Did you hear that? Say that I listened to the instigation of the traitorous villain, and you Kali is a traitorous villain! Ladies and gentlemen...... Let him say it himself! Kary, have you heard that Xue Gege of the Renyi class is the daughter of Prince Rui? ”

"The minion doesn't know what Xue Gege is."

"You don't know? You don't know what to investigate in that Ruizhu Temple? You obviously know that she is the daughter of Prince Rui, and she was kidnapped and sold to a brothel by Aobai, which has hurt her to the extreme! If it weren't for the Zhao class master of the benevolent class who rescued my cousin in time, he would have been bullied and insulted! Even if you didn't know it at first, you actually forcibly ordered Xue Gege to sleep you again and again! On her wedding day, you actually sent troops to surround the inn, saying that you came to help her husband break his virginity! People use you to break your virginity on their wedding night, you want to be shameless! Even if she is a girl of the common people, your behavior constitutes a major crime of robbing men and bullying women, not to mention that you insulted my sister, a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and you committed the crime of bullying the king! Kali, the silver you hid has already been confiscated by the Imperial Forest Army when you came to Beijing to report on your work. Come, bring up the greedy booty of the Kali and show it to himself! Kali! Your greed, lust, and lust for power have come to an end, launch the noon gate and behead you! ”

"The emperor spares his life! The emperor spares his life! My Kali ancestors have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty......"

"That's right! You should be proud of it, do better, and don't discredit your ancestors! What merit and ability do you have, the emperor gave you a high position as the governor of Liangjiang? Isn't it because of your ancestors' virtues? You don't cherish it, you defile it, then take it back, drag it out, and chop! ”

"The emperor spares his life!" Kali wailed in despair and was dragged out. I don't know how he regretted it at this time, he originally begged for the seal, but he gave up his life.

Kangxi's eyes flashed with tears, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think my punishment for Kali is very heavy?" ”

Everyone read in unison: "Not heavy, not heavy: the emperor is wise, such a scum will not spare him if he doesn't kill the heavens!" ”

"You may think, Aobai's crime is no less than that of Kali, why didn't he kill it? You can compare what Ao Bai did for the Qing Dynasty, he has fought bloodily for many years, galloped on the battlefield, made countless military exploits, and once saved Taizong's life, forget it, he is dead. ”
