Chapter 0076 - The Monarch and the Ministers are Good Shows
The maid who went out to fetch water entered the door, and when she saw that there was one more master in the house, she secretly said in her heart, why did she only go out for a while, and there were guests in the house. She brought the water to Wanru and said, "Girl, wash up." ”
As if getting up slowly, he asked Feng Guangcai to let him aside, and washed his hands and face in the basin. After that, the maid poured water, combed her hair again, and had breakfast. This is very bad for Feng Guangcai. He got up early in the morning, relying on the fact that the emperor would not go to court today, and he originally wanted to fight as if he was caught off guard.
In fact, it was indeed a surprise, after all, he saw it, and after a while, he had to do good deeds. Although he didn't have the heart to eat at the moment, he had to scoop two spoons to satisfy his hunger.
As if the meal was finally over, the maid slowly withdrew from the room with a plate and covered the door with interest. At this moment, Feng Guangcai pounced unscrupulously and went straight to the girl. It's like a girl being hugged by him, and he said in his heart, this time it's really hard to grind.
The door was suddenly slammed open, and Xiao's mother walked in in a panic and said to Wanru: "Oh no, Hong Gongzi is here, I can't stop him." Hurry, hurry, please ask Lord Feng to hide. ”
Feng Guangcai was very disdainful, in this Beijing Division, what kind of red son and blue prince are just a noble son, how can he compare with his dignified third-grade official. He snorted, still holding it steadily.
Footsteps began to sound as they approached. Feng Guangcai stood up, let go of the hand holding Wanru, and was about to compete with this nameless noble son, when he dismounted and beat him back, but he heard Wanru whisper in his ear: "Do you know who the red boy is?" 'Changchun Layman', guess? ”
Feng Guangcai frowned and pondered, who is this Changchun layman? Just think about it. He had an epiphany, could it be ~~~? He glanced at it. He smiled as if he looked at him and said, "Would it be nice if you went to see him?" ”
This kind of ridicule was very inappropriate at this time, and Feng Guangcai did not dare to go out to see the Changchun monks. Hear the footsteps getting closer. At this point, you will definitely hit the front when you go out. Feng Guangcai saw that there was no place to hide in the room, so he was in a hurry, and he didn't care whether the official style was official or not, so he crawled under the bed with a bone.
As soon as he got in, he heard like a girl. This voice sounds very familiar, isn't it who is the Holy One today? Feng Guangcai was only scared into a cold sweat under the bed, but fortunately he reacted wittily, otherwise this time the official hat would really not be guaranteed.
Seeing that this scene was finally rounded, Xiao's mother was also relieved. He shook his handkerchief and wiped his face. Hong Gongzi was very careful and asked Xiao's mother, "Is it hot here?" Why did my mom sweat all over? ”
It was like a smile: "Where, my mother knew that Gongzi was coming, so she specially prepared a live pig." Accidentally, the pig ran away, and my mother was looking for it upstairs and downstairs. ”
Xiao's mother also said along with Wanru's words: "It's not, a tender pig." I originally wanted Childe to eat fresh pork, but let it run away. I was afraid of startling the guests, so I sweated in a hurry. ”
As if waving his hand, he said, "Just now I only saw a black shadow rushing under the bed." Could it be the pig? Ask mom to see if the pig is under the bed. ”
At this time, my mother was shocked to sweat again, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no." The cook just reported that it seemed to have gotten into the stove. I'll go take a look, and I won't bother Childe. He said. She turned to go downstairs, and before leaving, she still told him frequently. Good students take care of their sons.
Hong Gongzi sat down, as if he was just giving a salute. Qianlong said. Outside the palace, I didn't pay much respect. Qianlong asked as if he was sitting on his lap and joked: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are more beautiful than before?" ”
It was like a smile: "The three thousand fandels in the emperor's palace are like being born poor, what is it?" ”
Qianlong pinched her and said, "There are three thousand beauties in the palace, but none of them are smarter than you." I want to have you, but I will forget the three thousand beauties. ”
It's as if it's boring to think about it like this, it's better to lead Feng Guangcai out to meet Qianlong. She frowned, thought about it, got up and said, "The slave family is making tea for the emperor." ”
Qianlong Zhi was full of pride, and said: "Girl, go and come back quickly, I can't wait." ”
As if he said yes, he turned and walked out of the house. I turned a corner, but I came to the backyard pharmacy. Originally, all kinds of Chinese medicine were stored here, and the sisters in the hospital could drink them at any time when they were sick. Of course, there are also a lot of fetal pills, and once the girl is pregnant, this matter will be a big problem. It's like taking a snake out of a jar of medicine. She knew that the snake was only for medicinal purposes, and that it had been dead for a long time.
She wrapped the snake in a handkerchief and poured another cup of tea and brought it in. Qianlong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and was anxious to embrace it.
It was like half-pushing and half-pushing, and he was hugged into Qianlong's arms. But she shook her veil and threw the medicine snake to the ground. Qianlong only cared about intimacy, where did he see an extra thing on the ground. It was like a little kick that kicked the medicine snake under the bed.
With a whoop, Feng Guangcai suddenly came out from under the bed, and the medicine snake was still hanging on his body. He jumped up and exclaimed, "Snake, snake." ”
The snake gave him enough face, and honestly fell to the ground, not moving, but it turned out to be a dead snake.
Today, the saint's face turned green, and he stared at Feng Guangcai with a pair of divine lightning eyes, but he didn't say a word. At this time, what else is there to say? The courtier went to the kiln by himself first, and once the son of heaven followed, he was looking for the same concubine? It's not just that the courtier's face is not good-looking, but the emperor's face is good-looking?
Qianlong's face was gloomy all the time, and he didn't spit out half a word, but only let go of the hand holding Wanru one by one. Feng Guangcai didn't go away, he didn't go, he could only kneel down and ask for peace, and the straight minister was guilty.
Qianlong smiled coldly and said, "Are you guilty? Wouldn't I be even more guilty? ”
Feng Guangcai's face was sweating, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Qianlong's mood was disturbed by him like this, and he was very angry in his heart, and he was angry with him, and reprimanded: "Why don't you dare, how dare you?" ”
Feng Guangcai just kowtowed, not half a word. Kowtowed seventeen or eighteen heads, Qianlong became more and more upset, waved his hand, and said angrily: "Get out!" ”
Feng Guangcai hurriedly withdrew as if he had been granted amnesty.
Qianlong's good interest was completely extinguished. He sat sullenly for a few moments, pondering his strategy. Supposedly, there was nothing in this matter, what did he see? What does he know? Could it be that he wants to play the Son of Heaven and have a dirty official style? Forgive him for not having the guts!
As if he had guessed Qianlong's thoughts, he explained: "Your Majesty, you are today's son." What are you afraid of what he will do? Just find an excuse to depreciate it far away. ”
Qianlong said in a sullen voice: "It's very easy to be demoted, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to block Youyou's mouth." ”
It's like seeing that this path doesn't work. I can only find another way and say: "The slave family doesn't understand the affairs of officialdom very well, and they are lazy to manage political affairs. It's just that the slave family occasionally heard about it the day before yesterday. Zhang Jixian, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was arrested by Shuntianfu. ”
Qianlong raised his head and said in surprise: "Why don't I know this, who will arrest it?" What did you do? ”
It's like taking people from Shuntianfu to search for banned books before, and found the poetry book, which has the verses 'rain in the Qingming Festival', and Zhang Jixian was arrested one by one.
After hearing this, Qianlong got up and said: "Nonsense! Why should I let them do this? ”
As if he continued: "It's not that the slave family is talkative. The emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can he know what the villains below do? Even if the emperor is wise and decisive, he can't stop them from covering the sky with one hand. ”
Qianlong asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Thereupon. It's like embezzling Feng Guangcai's embezzlement of public silver, blaming Xu Changyou, sending people to hunt down Li Yulin, and pouring out all the evidence of the night robbery. If you don't listen, it's enough, and when you hear it, Qianlong becomes more and more resentful, and he can't imagine that they are doing such nonsense below. If this official is not killed, what is the use of the emperor?
But killing him also requires a justifiable reason, and I can't say that I don't like you. I want my courtiers to die. Not long after he ascended the throne, he wanted to kill corrupt officials and rectify the rule of officials, and he was better than his grandfather Emperor Kangxi.
It's about a meal. Qianlong opened his mouth and said: "You said that Zhang Jixian is really in the prison of Shuntianfu? ”
As if he hurriedly knelt down, Zhengse replied: "It's like wishing to guarantee the head of the item, as if there is a word to deceive the emperor." I am willing to cut three knives and six times, thank the emperor for his holy family! ”
Qianlong supported him. said: "Girl, get up quickly, I have my own way to find out the facts." ”
Once back in the palace. Qianlong immediately ordered to meet with the imperial historian Zhang Jixian. At first, Feng Guangcai didn't know that this matter was coming for him, and he told him that Zhang Jixian had broken the law and secretly possessed banned books, and had been arrested.
Qianlong asked, "What forbidden books are hidden?" But you say come and listen. ”
Feng Guangcai was stunned, this matter was originally a fictitious thing, how could there be any forbidden books. After thinking about it for a while, I had to compile some old things, saying that Zhang Jixian resented the imperial court, had a clear mind, and even wanted to collude with the White Lotus Sect, which was very suspicious of being a rebel.
If he had said this in the past, Qianlong would have been angry. What a crime it is to commit rebellion, even if you don't exterminate the Nine Clans, you have to be executed by Ling Chi, so he gently pressed it. But today is different from the past, Qianlong only asked lightly: "Hugh has to hide it, I know that there was Han Lin'er's rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and Xu Hongru's uprising in the Ming Dynasty, both of whom are from the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect has been wiped out as early as the beginning of my dynasty, where did the White Lotus Sect come from? ”
Feng Guangcai is worthy of being a member of the Sanpin Mansion, and he talked about the Holy Lord's question earlier, and replied: "The emperor doesn't know that these chaotic parties have died and naturally turned to ashes, but those who are not dead are waiting for a resurgence." The minister heard that the White Lotus Sect was preaching in the Henan area, forging scriptures and spells, and talking about what diseases could be cured, and there were signs of resurgence. Besides, Zhang Jixian has never been a courtier, and he secretly has a connection with Taiwan's Zheng Shiyin, once it happens, is the emperor not worried? ”
These words are high-sounding, if in normal times, Qianlong would have ordered Zhang Jixian to be executed. But today, he asked, "Can you find evidence?" Present it to me. ”
Feng Guangcai said: "Back to the emperor, there was originally some evidence, but who knew that Zhang Jixian knew that the matter was exposed, so he hired a gang of bandits to explore Shuntianfu at night and stole the evidence, but he burned it." ”
As the so-called black and white are reversed, at this time, it is just as it is. Qianlong asked: "In this case, I will personally interrogate Zhang Jixian if I bring Zhang Jixian here." ”
Feng Guangcai said in his heart, if the emperor was allowed to interrogate him personally, it would be over, so he had to risk his life and beg: "This kind of thing is more suitable for three sessions of trial!" He said in his heart that once the three sessions were tried, he would have the opportunity to be accommodating from the middle.
Qianlong reprimanded: "I want to be interrogated in person, where do you get so much nonsense?" Quickly lift Zhang Jixian to see the driver. ”
Feng Guangcai knew that something was wrong, if Zhang Jixian and the group in prison met the emperor, everything would be over. I knew that now, I really shouldn't have kept them, and it would be good if they all came to fruition. At this moment, he could only fight to the death, kneeling and begging again: "The minister can't agree to this matter, and the minister would rather resign and go home to farm." ”
Qianlong smiled coldly and said, "You are quite interesting!" Go home and farm, it's cheaper for you! Come. Removed Feng Guangcai's head and took off his official robe. Detained. Quickly bring Zhang Jixian, Na Shoutu and his party to arrive, so that the two sides can testify! ”
The guards on both sides agreed. He took off the flower feathers on his head three times and twice, stripped off his official robe, and knelt down on the side wearing only a close-fitting shirt. Outside the hall, the emperor's holy decree was passed out layer by layer: Xuan Zhang Jixian, that Shoutu see the driver!
After waiting for a cadre, Qianlong has his own judgment on the merits. Subsequently, Qianlong issued an order to quickly seal Feng Guangcai's mansion, and sent people to check the accounts of Shuntian Mansion. This move is lightning fast and very neat. Feng Fu didn't get any news in advance, and thought that the old man was going to the court normally, but he didn't know that he had encountered such a monstrous disaster. I can't hide from it. I couldn't hide it all, so I had to be turned upside down.
After two days of hard work, Qianlong received the performance, and the Feng family copied out 50 million taels of silver, of which 10 million taels were stamped with the official seal of Shuntianfu. There are more than 2,300 real estate properties, as well as more than 150 land deeds and house deeds in his hometown. In any case, it is enough to prove that Feng Guangcai is corrupt.
Qianlong was furious and ordered Feng Guangcai to be executed in Lingchi, and his family was sent to Heilongjiang. Confiscation of property in the province.
After that, Chaos Butterfly was released from prison in the drunken spring, and after coming out, he got drunk in Jinxiulan, and the son didn't even scold. It is said that the wine has been three rounds. After the five flavors of the dish, Hongcui's wine has just come up, and he actually wants to pay tribute to the son to drink. You must know that Childe can't drink. Three cups will be drunk. Dark Xiang knew the child's spleen and stomach, although he didn't dare to reprimand Hongcui. But he still threw a dissatisfied look at her.
Hongcui saw it, blushed and smiled: "What do you see me doing?" I think it's because the red emerald is beautiful, so you peeked at it? She leaned over to Dark Fragrance and said, "Come on, come on." Wouldn't it be better to see it up close? ”
The butterfly whistled and screamed. Dark incense turned her head more and more, not squinting. Seeing that the fuss was not good, Gongzi scolded Hongcui and said: "I don't see you girl, drink some wine and put it on your face." Come, bring me the wine. ”
Listening to Childe's words, Hongcui temporarily spared the dark fragrance, took the wine in her hand, and fed Childe a cup of mouth. The wine went down his throat, and Childe's face flushed slightly. Hongcui also asked Childe to drink a second cup. Dark Xiang hurriedly said: "Childe can't drink, Miss Hongcui, how about I drink for Childe?" ”
Hongcui pursed her drunken eyes, tilted her head and asked, "Who are you Gongzi, who want to drink for Gongzi?" ”
Dark incense choked, unable to speak for a moment. Childe saw the embarrassment of Dark Fragrance and said, "If you say who it is, Dark Fragrance is my first confidant. Etiquette, respectful service, that's all, how about a glass of wine? Come, dark incense, this glass of wine, Ruoqing respects you. As he spoke, he took the glass of wine from Hongcui's hand and brought it to Dark Incense.
Dark Xiang couldn't imagine this honor again, her heart was pounding, she bowed her head and thanked her son, took the wine glass with both hands, and drank it all.
Randie stopped doing it, and shouted loudly: "Childe is not fair! Dark fragrance is respectful, am I disrespectful? Come down the mountain, I'll be in prison twice. There's nothing to eat, there's nothing to eat, there's nothing to do, and the butterflies are suffocating. But Randie endured it, why? Because of doing things for the son, the butterfly has nothing to say. Don't talk about anything else, I'm single-minded to my son, and there is a second one in the world, and I stabbed myself a hundred and eight times. ”
Childe had to pour another glass of wine and said, "Butterflies naturally work hard, and Ruoqing also respects Butterflies." ”
At this point, the son can't be one over the other, and one person has to toast a cup.
A circle of wine came down, and the master and servant rejoiced. Gongzi drank two glasses of wine, and he was a little drunk, so he took the opportunity to speak: "If you say that Feng Guangcai is the best at killing people with a knife. You want to hurt others, but don't stain your hands. This kind of person is the most hateful. If you want to get rid of him, you must naturally treat him in the way of others. He is used to borrowing a knife to kill people, and he borrowed Chai Fu's hand to kill Li Yulin, and then pushed it all away. In order to get rid of Chai Fu, he used the assassin to kill Chai Fu's mouth. It's not easy for us to move him. ”
Hongcui smiled: "So Gongzi, you borrowed the knife of Emperor Qianlong and killed Feng Guangcai, a corrupt official?" ”
Childe nodded and said: "The enemy is clear, the friend is undecided, lure and kill the enemy, and do not contribute yourself, is the best policy." ”
Hongcui blurted out: "So, Qingsi seems to have been borrowed by us?" It's not that I said, Childe's trick is also a little yin, not a righteous gentleman's doing. ”
It is said that it is not Hongcui's turn to say anything in this kind of words, but at this time, Hongcui drank too much wine, and she was so drunk that she had long forgotten the rules of the master and slave. Besides, she has always been quick to talk and talk quickly, and when she speaks, she regrets it.
Who knew that Gongzi didn't scold her, and said in a deep voice: "You are right. The second move is indeed more vicious. Thinking that Yuan Chonghuan was loyal back then, a piece of Dan was based on the jade pot, and I was invincible before the emperor Taiji attacked for a long time, so I had to use a trick to make Chongzhen kill him. If Qingshen is sorry for Yuan Chonghuan, if he was born in my dynasty, he would be a general guarding the pass. ”
Hongcui said curiously: "Then how did the ancestor of my dynasty borrow a knife to kill people and destroy Yuan Chonghuan?" ”
Randie also asked: "I also know that Yuan Chonghuan of the previous dynasty was a man, why was he killed by his own emperor?" Folk also say that if Chongzhen does not kill Yuan Chonghuan, it will be difficult for our dynasty to enter the customs. ”
Gongzi said with a smug look: "It was the third year of Chongzhen in the former Ming Dynasty, and my emperor Taiji attacked Ningyuan for a long time and was invincible. When Yuan Chonghuan heard the news, he immediately led his troops to Qinwang, day and night, and arrived at Guangqumen in the capital three days earlier than our generals. He lined up his troops to stop our soldiers. I can't attack the main emperor Taiji for a long time, and I am very worried. One day, racking his brains, he finally came up with a plan to kill people with a knife. He knew that Chongzhen's suspicion was very heavy and difficult to tolerate. So he secretly sent someone to bribe the eunuchs of the imperial court with a lot of money, and said to Chongzhen that Yuan Chonghuan had made a secret agreement with our court, so that the soldiers of our court could drive straight into Beijing. Chongzhen was furious, sent Yuan Chonghuan to prison for questioning, and then beheaded him for public display. ”
Hongcui pouted and said, "It turns out that Emperor Chongzhen is also a fool, if he asks you to kill you, you will kill you." ”
Childe said: "That's also a matter of the day to die, but we can't stop it." It's just that Ruoqing deeply mourns Yuan Chonghuan, is loyal, and ends up like this, even if it is a prince and a prince? I couldn't say it, and my face was eclipsed. Others didn't care, but Hongcui knew that she remembered her own life experience again, and grieved for her father in her heart. Thinking that the Eight Kings and I were wise, and only ended up like that in the end, how could she not hurt herself?
Hongcui smiled and said, "It's all about the eunuchs, it can be seen that the eunuchs are not good people." ”
Speaking of eunuchs, Zuichun suddenly said: "In prison, I occasionally heard the discussion among the jailers, saying that the reason why Feng Guangcai was able to grasp the opportunity was all due to the help of Gonggong Xia in the palace. ”
Speaking of Father-in-law Xia, Gongzi said angrily: "As soon as I ascended the throne, the grandfather of the first emperor Shunzhi had already set up an iron card of 'eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics', and it was clearly stipulated that foreign officials were not allowed to make friends, and they were not allowed to break the law and interfere in politics, but they had the right to steal power and accept bribes, and they were sentenced to death. Eunuch Xia openly befriended foreign officials, accepted bribes and stole power, and Ruoqing had to move him. ”
Hongcui exclaimed: "Childe, you don't want to fight with the eunuchs, do you?" ”
At this time, Childe smiled slightly and didn't say a word. Hongcui leaned over and saw that Childe was already drunk. (To be continued......)
