Chapter 0143 - Punish the Minister's Party

It is said that Qianlong's policy in dealing with the two parties has always been: neither to make one a defeat nor to make both defeats. After rectifying Peng Heng in the Zhang Party, Qianlong immediately pointed the finger at the Hubei Party in the next step. Most of the people in the Hubei Party are banner people, and most of them rely on the yin virtue accumulated by their ancestors, and most of them are unlearned and unskilled, and they are arrogant and arrogant. Erwin is the representative of the banner people.

Erwen is a person with a yellow flag, and he has followed Taizu Nurhachi since his grandfather's generation. In Erwen's generation, most of them were important figures in the court. Erwen inherited his father's position and became a meritorious officer. Although there is no real power in the examination of meritorious officials, he is the first important position in the ministry, and is in charge of the performance assessment of Beijing officials, upper, middle, upper, middle, middle, lower, and lower. Every year in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Officials Department will conduct a performance review of each Beijing official, and those with excellent grades will be rewarded, and even those with poor grades will be punished, and the existing official positions will be replaced.

In order to curry favor with these meritorious examiners, many officials of all sizes offered bribes to buy appraisals, in the hope of obtaining the political achievements of one upper and lower, or at least one upper and lower, so that at least they would not be deposed by the emperor. As for those officials who expect to be promoted, most of them have to pay a lot of bribes to get a good grade and get promoted. Therefore, if Erwen is honest in Langzhong, he will not be unlucky enough to make a decision.

However, Erwen and Zhang Guangsi have a disagreement. When Zhang Guangsi was in Beijing, he was also arrogant as a Han Chinese. Once, Er Wen was walking on Dongzhimen Street in a sedan chair, and happened to meet Zhang Guangsi who was also sitting in a sedan chair with eight people, and walked over proudly. The two bumped into each other. The little guy of the Erwen family didn't give way, and shouted at Zhang Guangsi's little guy: "The master of your family is Han. It's time to make way for us full. You take two steps back first, and let our master go before you go." ”

Who is that Zhang Guangsi? It was a fierce general, and when he heard this, he heard this. I was even more angry, so I simply blocked the middle of the road, and no one thought about going over. The two confronted each other for almost an hour, and it was only after Ortai, who heard the news, persuaded him to give up fifty steps each.

Since then, Erwen has been calling Zhang Guangsi true. The two are officials in the same dynasty, as long as Zhang Guangsi says right, he will definitely say wrong; As long as Zhang Guangsi says something wrong, he will definitely agree.

It was not until after Qianlong ascended the throne that Miao Jiang rebelled. Of course, Qianlong wanted to do a good job in the first martial arts after ascending the throne. So Zhang Guangsi was ordered to guide the seven provinces and control people from all walks of life. When Zhang Guangsi arrived in Guizhou, he thought of a strategy to temporarily raise the ripe seedlings and exterminate the seedlings, broke through 1,224 Miao villages, pardoned 380 villages, beheaded more than 17,000 Miao people, and captured 25,000 zero, which was the first grand event of the Qianlong Dynasty!

Qianlong was already very happy, seeing Zhang Guangsi so heroic. He was not allowed to commend him, and ordered Zhang Guangsi to be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to control the Miao people. Zhang Guangsi is so favored by Qianlong, so he is naturally the best among the Han people. When Narvin saw this, he became more and more indignant. It's just that Zhang Guangsi is not in Beijing, and he usually has less chance to be angry. I didn't want Erwen to be angry with his wife at home, so I went to the military aircraft to chat with my old friend Lian Sheng. The winning streak is Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department. Sort out the excerpts at the military aircraft department and write an abridgement for the emperor. Erwin entered the Military Aircraft Division. It's a winning streak. Lian Sheng saw Erwen, who was still angry, and asked, "Brother Er." Who messed with you today? ”

Erwen said angrily: "Who else can there be? There is a fierce woman in the family, and the man only suffers a loss. ”

Lian Sheng saw him talk about family matters, but he didn't ask each other anymore. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. Since it is a brother's family matter, he is not easy to say.

Erwen sat on the stool angrily and said to Lian Sheng, "Is there tea here?" Pour a bowl to drink? I quarreled at home for a long time, and my mouth was dry. ”

Lian Sheng hurriedly said: "There is tea, there is tea, but it is already cold, I will renew some hot water." After that, Lian Sheng picked up the teapot and went out. Erwen was the only one left in the room, and he caught a glimpse of the top fold being one sent by Yun Gui. Erwen was angry and had nowhere to spill, and when he saw the fold, he actually took the fold into his arms. He had a ghost in his heart, but he didn't wait for the winning streak to come back, and left in a hurry.

This was a month ago, and no one in the DPRK knew that there was a missing excerpt. It was only a few days ago that when Zhang Guangsi folded it again, he mentioned that the content on the previous fold had not been approved. Qianlong wondered, he didn't know when he saw this secret fold, and ordered the military aircraft to investigate. The Military Aircraft Department checked, and it was indeed recorded in the file that a copy of Yungui's secret fold was delivered on a few days and at what time, why did this fold disappear? Zhang Xiang'e sent someone to check again, and found out that Zhang Jing was on duty that day with a winning streak. Lian Sheng thought about it, there was no one else that day, only Erwen had come in, and by the time he came back from pouring tea, Erwen had already left. Could it be that Erwen couldn't take this secret fold?

Both inside and outside the government and the opposition, they all know that Erwen and Zhang Guangsi are mortal enemies, and they don't hesitate at this time.

Only then did Qianlong know that Erwen was bold enough to cover the sky, and even dared to detain the secret folds outside the province! He was furious and was determined to behead Erwen for public display.

The facts are clear, Erwen was taken away and imprisoned by Shuntianfu. Erwen's wife, Feng Jiao, is the goddaughter of Mrs. Ortai. When her husband had an accident, Feng Jiao, a fierce woman, had to cry and cry to beg her godmother. After all, it is a woman who is soft-hearted, seeing her goddaughter crying so sadly, and her husband is the first assistant of the imperial court, she can't help but blow the pillow wind in front of her husband Ortai at night. Ren Ertai is a banner man, and he can't stand the blowing of the pillow wind, and the next morning, he actually begged the emperor to see Erwen's father in front of him and pardon his life.

Qianlong saw Ortai's excerpt and immediately summoned Ortai to the Heart Palace. At that time, Qianlong was having breakfast, and at the beginning, Qianlong was still smiling and asked kindly: "Old E, have you eaten breakfast?" ”

Ortai saw that the emperor asked him like this, and he couldn't bully the king, so he could only answer honestly: "Back to the emperor, the old minister hasn't eaten yet." ”

Qianlong said: "Then you come over and use some with me?" ”

Ortai was busy and didn't dare. As soon as Ortai finished speaking, he didn't dare, and Qianlong hit him with a pair of chopsticks, almost hitting Ortai's face: "Is there anything else you don't dare?" ”

Ortai was so shocked that he didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

Qianlong got up and said angrily: "You say, do you know about Erwen's affairs?" ”

Ortai hurriedly knelt down, his head against the floor, and said in a low voice: "The old minister really doesn't know!" Even if the old minister has great courage, he does not dare to do such a lawless thing. ”

Qianlong said: "Phew! Do you dare to say that you are lawless? As he spoke, he threw down the book from the table and reprimanded, "Since you also know lawlessness, what are you doing with the book?" Do you dare to bend the law for personal gain? ”

Ortai also wanted to defend himself, and said: "Erwen is to be punished for doing things, but the emperor understands that he is a member of the Great Qing Banner, and he has followed his ancestors to fight the world since the older generation, spare his life!" That's all the Er's family has to offer. ”

Qianlong scolded: "Fart! Nonsense! I thought you were old and serious, but I didn't know that you were so willful! Is my country or his ancestors important? Compared with the world's social society, the roots of the Lao Er family are a fart!? Now, what else do you say to me, the Han people are full of people? How expensive are the people? But you see, how many of them have succeeded in Manchurian now? If you want to stabilize the country, the Han people must also be encircled, you are really old and confused! ”

Ortai was sweating profusely when he was scolded, and he didn't dare to mention a word again. In the end, Qianlong vented his anger and said: "I tell you the truth, Erwen will definitely die!" You also go back and reflect on it, wipe your hands clean, and don't let me investigate your illegal and corrupt affairs! Kneel down, I don't want to see you today. ”

Ortai was amnesty, carefully regressed out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and rested at home for a day in anxiety.

The next day, the emperor did not mention it again. Ortai still wonders in his heart, has the emperor forgotten about his feelings? Shuntianfu did not receive the emperor's order, and he didn't know whether to release or kill, so he could only take custody. It took another seven days for the emperor to issue a decree that Er Wen committed suicide. For the sake of his ancestors' loyalty to the Qing Dynasty for generations, he gave 200 funeral silver, and his family took it home, bought a coffin, and buried it.

Within a month, there were two successive death-giving incidents in the DPRK. One is a disciple of Zhang Xiang, and the other is a friend of Hu Xiang, which can shock the officials of the court. You must know that these officials are all selected at all levels, and they are the most proficient at the wind and rudder, and they are good at reading the emperor's official skills, and when they saw that the emperor was angry in the court, they immediately guessed that the emperor was going to kill chickens and show monkeys. Not to mention anything else, these monkeys are the people who are in the Zhang Party and the Hubei Party.

When you are an official, you should not act alone. If a person is in the court, there is no fellow countryman, no same test, and it is more difficult to get promoted and make a fortune than to ascend to the sky. If you recognize your fellow villagers, climb your ancestors, and make friends with some people who have passed the same test, then things will be much easier. Therefore, in the DPRK, there are very few people who have not joined the fellow villagers' associations and the same examination associations. Once the ministers are united, then it will threaten the emperor's dictatorship, which is the main reason why the emperor of any dynasty is the most taboo to form a party, but the matter of forming a party has never been broken.

Therefore, when the courtiers saw Emperor Qianlong's disposition, they were shocked in their hearts. The emotional emperor wants to rectify the partisan dispute? first disposed of Peng Heng, and then gave Erwen to death, obviously to tell these courtiers: Stop, partisan strife will not work here in me.

As a result, the clever courtiers in the court immediately confessed their hearts to the emperor, and even more defected one after another to participate in their own party members. This kind of participation has always been a reference and a quasi. I thought that I was good enough to wear a pair of pants before, how much gold and silver I had at home, and how many immoral things I had done, most of them told my colleagues and friends. At this time, how can there be any reason for not being allowed to participate in the performance according to the facts?

Now, the whole court is in a mess, today you will join me, tomorrow I will join you, it is like a monkey fighting, you sing and I will appear. Not to mention others, there is only one Wu scorpion, and at this time, his heart is as anxious as a cat scratched. He has always been a person who falls on both sides and no one can offend, but at this time, this kind of person is the most dangerous, and if either side falls, he can be involved. At that point, he was really done. (To be continued......)
