Chapter 338: Dying Struggle
Mu Shangxuan was stunned when he heard it, a kind of ecstasy quickly filled his chest, and when he was afraid of the coming of the end, he suddenly heard that he and the queen actually had such an inseparable relationship, Mu Shangxuan naively thought that this was enough to ensure that he would always be favored by the queen, and it was enough to restore the awe of the civil and military officials to him.
Frankly speaking, this former performer actually doesn't believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas. The proportion of superstitious people in the ancients was much higher than in today's people, but not all of them. Mu Shangxuan is one of those people who don't believe in gods, if he believes in gods and Buddhas, he won't make the White Horse Temple a miasma. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it, he thinks that as long as the queen believes it, as long as the civil and military officials believe it.
Mu Shangxuan rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth in the room: "Yao'er, Weishi is very interested in this Qin person, if it's late today, tomorrow morning, can you accompany Weishi to meet him?" ”
Yao'er bowed and said with a smile: "If there is something to do, the disciple will serve him, and he should accompany the master."
Let alone...... The disciple also has a karma with these three strange people, and he should go to pay a visit. ”
The Taoist became the prime minister of the dynasty, gave a mansion, and the dustless old nun served as the abbot of Lintoe Temple by holy decree, and granted her the right to receive apprentices and confer ordination.
As for the Qin people, they were much more low-key, Tian Qiniang just gave him a mansion not far from the Lintoe Temple, allocated some servants, and ordered the Taibu Department to obey his dispatch.
At that time, gold and silver were not yet currency in circulation. But its value is extremely high and can be exchanged for currency. If you get dozens of truckloads of copper coins, how will you run away in the future? At that time, there was no easy-to-carry wealth such as securities, stocks, and bank cards, so the Qin people could only set up a name. I've gotten as much gold as I can.
The three immortal masters were favored by Tian Qiniang, and the sycophants in the court immediately climbed to the knot, and even Tian Sansi and Tian Chengqian also came to visit, and for a while, the two mansions of the three immortal masters and a nunnery were crowded with cars and horses on the way, and the three charlatans jumped over the dragon gate, and they got to know all the Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty and the powerful people of the Great Qi.
Yao'er accompanied his master Mu Shangxuan, and naturally he also had to visit. Make friends with them.
Qin Ren bragged for a while, lying that he had seen Mu Shangxuan's previous life, which was equivalent to having an incense relationship with Mu Shangxuan. He always thought that Mu Shangxuan was the queen's favorite and only face, and he naturally welcomed his arrival. The Taoist and the old nun have the same mind as him, so among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the best friend of these three immortal masters is Mu Shangxuan.
The news reached Zheng Anyi's ears. The man was even more resentful. It's just that now the Three Immortal Masters have the great responsibility of renewing the queen's life. is extremely favored, with Zheng Anyi's current status in Tian Qiniang's heart, he does not dare to slander easily, so he has to suppress his resentment in his heart in order to find the opportunity.
At the same time, the long-planned battle against Goshidai began.
Originally, it was a master named Zhi Yuehuo in Bainian County who impeached Wei Yijiu of Lin'an County.
This is the usual method used by bureaucrats to attack their political opponents. It is usually the case that a lowly official is used as a pawn to attack a petty subordinate of the target. The offences used were also not very large, and the attacks were carried out. At first, it can play a role in paralyzing political opponents, and once the other party is alert and launches a fierce counterattack, the situation will be unfavorable to their side, and the bigwigs who have not yet made a move can use their detached status to clean up the mess.
In the imperial history, Cheng Jun's subordinates are from Lin'an, and the few henchmen he promoted are also a few scoundrels who he brought from Lin'an to mix the streets together, and that is where he started, so Lin'an is the second foundation of the Yushitai, and Wei Yijiu of Lin'an County is the person of the Yushitai.
But the people of the Yushitai are indeed too far from politically sensitive, and Wan Guojun faintly feels that something is wrong. But then his lack of leadership was exposed. Under the disapproving reaction of the other imperial historians, Wan Guojun quickly threw his uneasy premonition out of the clouds, believing that the turmoil that occurred in Lin'an was just an independent incident.
Shuzhi Yuehuo is only a local petty official from the eighth grade, and the county governor of Lin'an County, Yijiu, who was sued, is only a petty official from the eighth grade, and no one in the court paid attention to it at all. From a series of problems in Zhi Yuehuo's impeachment of Yijiu's law enforcement, a large number of violations of law and discipline, corruption and bribery were discovered, which is not something that can be solved on the administrative line.
So, the file was transferred to Kou Qing Palace, Kou Qing Palace naturally had to be handed over to Kou Qing Palace Department to be responsible, with Cui Langzhong, a thoughtful and skilled judge in law and discipline, to handle it, and soon Yi Jiu's series of illegal acts were exposed to the world, and in the past few years, Yi Jiu has implemented the cool law in Lin'an, tortured to extract confessions, and created a large number of unjust, false and wrongful cases in front of the world.
Yijiu collapsed, and there were several families in Lin'an County who were ruined by Yijiu's rectification and begged all the way to the capital, blocked the palace gate, knelt down to complain, and wrote tens of thousands of words.
In the book of ten thousand words, the cool officials have been deeply troubled, respectfully asking the Son of Heaven to suspend his sentence and forbearance, and implement benevolent government, and in the book of ten thousand words, they also specifically mentioned the queen's "ban on slaughter" and benevolence to all living beings in the world. The queen can be merciful to birds and beasts such as chickens, ducks, dogs, and geese, and not allow the people of the world to kill, shouldn't she show mercy to the people of Daqi, who support the royal family and the court, and face the loess with their backs to the sky?
The prime ministers headed by Jiang Dexu jointly agreed and asked for the Holy Judgment. Tian Qiniang had always ignored the kind of torture and benevolent government in the past, but this time the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military momentum was violent, and the prime ministers of the political hall were unanimous, and Tian Qiniang couldn't turn a deaf ear.
Tian Qiniang read this note very seriously, dictated the will, polished it by Pei Kun, and ordered the political affairs hall to supervise and review the cases handled by the Yushitai one by one.
Thanks to their efforts day and night, in just one month, they have redressed some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in the past and more than 800 false cases in custody that have been coerced to confess against their will because they were tortured.
I don't know if I don't look at the numbers. No one thought that Daqi would be in the country for several years. In just one month, so many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases were discovered, and each case involved dozens or hundreds of criminal officials, and each criminal official had dozens or hundreds of relatives and countless servants who were implicated by them and assigned to be official slaves. They also have families of their own, and the bureaucrats and ordinary people involved are simply innumerable.
Tian Qi is like a sauce jar, the surface of which is sunburned with a layer of gelatin, which looks like a piece of precious amber. It shimmered golden in the sunlight, but now it was plucked away with a stick, and the stench suddenly diffused. It stinks so much that people can't breathe.
Spring is coming.
In the Rouming Villa, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, plum blossoms, and unknown wild flowers bloom one after another, and a sea of red, pink, white, and blue flowers bloom. It's like a multicolored cloud. This is the villa area of the magnates, and the smell of spring plowing and fertilization in the distant farmland cannot be transmitted here, and the garden is fragrant.
A piece of fragrance. Yao'er stood under a flower tree, and in front of him stood a man dressed from afar, carrying a package diagonally on his body and holding the reins in his hand. At the end of the reins was a sturdy horse. Yao'er's voice was a little low: "Madame's body, the Li family did not move to the ancestral grave, but buried it in the suburbs of Beijing?" ”
The man's answer made Yao'er's eyes deepen.
Although Li Huanxun has not been rehabilitated before, similar rumors of injustice have long spread among the people, and through this spring breeze of cracking down on cruel officials, Li Huanxun's case was finally rehabilitated.
Li Huanxun was wronged and was posthumously awarded the title of General Zuo Yujinwei. Restoration of knighthood and solemn burial.
……
Haruka walked around a few flower trees. I saw that in the colorful Luoying, five or six Shuzhou mats woven with fish play lotus patterns were spread on the soft wool felt carpet, and there were flowers blooming next to them, and there were flowing springs and streams.
A Taoist man with a Taoist robe and white hair, a dustless old nun with an old face and a fair complexion, and the old Qin man dressed in a bearded costume accompanied Mu Shangxuan, who was bare-chested, to sit at the top, and An Le Hou Long Yunmeng, Kou Qing Gongsi Youlang Zhong Cui Langzhong, and Right Buque Fang Huorou sat at the bottom seat, laughing loudly.
As soon as he saw Yao'er coming, Mu Shangxuan said: "Good apprentice, the wine feast has been opened, why did you, the master, slip aside, sit down quickly, and punish yourself with three glasses first." ”
Yao'er bowed and smiled: "The master and the three immortals forgive me, Yao'er is entangled in mundane affairs, and it is rude!" ”
Wuchen Lao Ni smiled slightly, and said to him kindly: "Changshi is polite, please sit down." ”
The feast is very sumptuous, and they are all dishes that are commonly seen in the high-end banquets of the Great Qi Empire, such as bright shrimp roast, red Luoding, Jushengnu, noble concubine red, sweet snow, Yulu group, Xianrenluan, etc. There are only vegetarian dishes around the Taoist and dustless old nuns, but they are also extremely delicious to cook.
Yao'er borrowed Mrs. Mu's Zhuangzi and invited the three immortal masters to enjoy the spring, and these dishes were all prepared by the famous chef in the princess's mansion. Although one of the Taoists and the dustless old nuns boasted that they could open the valley, and the other boasted that they could not be hungry by eating only one grain of rice a day, it did not mean that they could not eat. As for meat. That's an indispensable thing at the banquet.
On the feast, there are not only tamales made of pork shoulder blades, white dragons made of shredded mandarin fish, five sheng plates of beef, pig, cow, bear and deer five kinds of ingredients, as well as scallion and vinegar chicken, civet cats, field chicken, and even calves simmered in water with calves. Fresh and delicious.
Tian Qiniang's ban on slaughter had little impact on the eunuchs. They only pretended to cut off meat for the first few days of the decree, and then they relapsed, and the effect was that it was inconvenient to eat meat in public, and because meat became smuggling. Only some of the people who dared to break the king's law dared to bring meat into the city, and the price of meat had risen several times, but it was only a drop in the bucket for their wealth.
But for the lives of the common people, this order really caused great harm, and many traders who made a living from meat business hurriedly changed their careers. The losses are huge, and the people who live by raising or hunting birds and beasts have completely cut off their source of livelihood, and they have no land as farmers, and they do not understand technology as craftsmen, and some people who have no livelihood have no choice but to sell their children and daughters, sell themselves, and enter the wealthy families as slaves at cheap prices, and voluntarily become lowly citizens, just to have something to eat, and the people have complained about this.
Three days ago, Tiannuo and Miss Yin got married, and Yao'er pulled a cart of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep from Baimaguan the night before and sent them a net of fatty fish that had just been caught ashore.
The day when the flower lady married her daughter and recruited her son-in-law. There was fish and meat on the banquet, and this became the most beautiful family in the family of the people who were doing the marriage in recent times. When the cooks in the streets and alleys are frying and frying, and the fragrance of fish and meat wafts all over the alleys, I don't know how many people are so hungry that they shed their hatazi.
He cut a bunch of white silk into pieces, and the palm of his hand was opened, and the rags were reduced to a bundle of intact white silk, which attracted Mu Shangxuan's amazement.
Because of this spell, the topic naturally turned to the story of the alchemists who have cultivated immortals since ancient times.
Right Que Fang Huorou's mouth is a little stinky, it stands to reason that the officials who can achieve his position are all masters who talk about people and ghosts, and they shouldn't say taboo words, but when he says it, he talks about liars who deceive people with illusions, such as Xu Fu and Aragaki Ping......
The faces of the Taoist and the dustless old nun became more and more ugly, and the Qin people didn't know these stories of the ancients, blinking a pair of big blue eyes, but they didn't hear any taste. No one noticed that before Fang Huorou made a big statement, Yao'er had quietly handed him a look.
"Haha, Yuan Buque's words are wrong!"
Seeing that the face of the Taoist had turned the color of pig liver, and he was about to explode, Yao'er suddenly smiled and spoke: "Guy is hard to find in immortal arts, and the world doesn't want to become an immortal and gain the Tao, so there are villains who take advantage of the void." In fact, there are still real immortals......"
Yao'er said eloquently: "For example, the Guangchengzi immortal during the Yellow Emperor's reign died at the age of 1,200 years, and there are historical records. For another example, during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the Zhangren of Heshang once annotated Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", died at the age of 1,700 years, and ascended to the Tao in Tiantai Mountain. ”
As soon as Yao'er said this, the faces of the Taoist and the dustless old nun looked good, and secretly thought to himself, he was an immortal, and he really couldn't afford to be as knowledgeable as Fang Huorou, an ordinary man, so he smiled happily and nodded approvingly to Yao'er.
Several fast horses galloped out of the Rouming Villa and went straight to Lin'an.
Something happened to Kyosato!
A series of actions against the Imperial Historical Observatory finally made the cool officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory understand that the recent actions were to deal with them. In recent months, the cool officials who have shrunk their claws and lowered their tails have jumped over the wall and re-exposed their sharp fangs.
The first slash they made in a counterattack was to the political hall.
Yao'er didn't know the details very well, and the person who came to deliver the letter just told him that Prime Minister Su Wei, Xia Ru, and Zhang Xiquan were arrested and put in prison. (To be continued......)
