If the tribute incident is regarded as the first battle between the three feudatories and the imperial court, then Wu Yuanming exchanged eighteen small boxes of soil for a large amount of real money and silver and a reward of beautiful women, which can be said to have made a good start, but it can only be regarded as a small victory, and Wu Yuanming is not happy and satisfied. Kangxi will not be defeated by a small defeat in the first battle, let alone surrender, and let Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, three hungry wolves, move silver from the treasury. While the eunuch was packing up the eighteen small wooden boxes, Kangxi glanced at Shangshu Mingzhu of the Criminal Department again......

"Long live Qiyu, the slave still has a book to play." Mingzhu stepped forward and fell to her knees, holding up a piece of music with both hands and shouting. Kangxi pretended to be unhappy and said: "Mingzhu, why are you so ignorant?" Just now you alluded to Wu Yingxiong's theft and sale of tribute, and there is no evidence, I haven't blamed you yet, how can you have the right thing to play? Today's early dynasty is the great dynasty that I accept the worship of the three feudal clans, not the early dynasty that makes speeches and deeds on weekdays! ”

Mingzhu looked like an iron-clad minister, and replied in a round, humble and arrogant manner: "The emperor forgives the sin, because the matter played by the slave is related to one of the three feudatories, so the slave takes the liberty to play it, and I hope the emperor will investigate it clearly." Kangxi pretended to be embarrassed, and first glanced at Geng Jingzhong's representative Geng Jimei and Shang Kexi's representative Shang Zhizhi, as if he was asking for the opinions of the representatives of the two feudal domains, and these two guys had made up their minds before coming to let Wu Sangui fight with the imperial court before choosing a position, so naturally they would not protest, so both of them just smiled and bowed to Kangxi, meaning that Mingzhu could speak first. Kangxi nodded and said: "Since the foreign ministers of the three feudal clans have no objections, Mingzhu, if you have anything, just play it." ”

"Who says I don't object?" Wu Yuanming was angry in his heart, and he was very dissatisfied with Kangxi's own decision, but he was helpless. At the same time, Wu Yuanming also vaguely guessed the reason why Mingzhu was active today - he must have been instructed by Kangxi to act as the vanguard of the attack on his Wu family, and the worse Mingzhu hit the Wu family, the more mistakes he picked out from the Wu family, the more difficult it was for Wu Yuanming to have enough confidence in the issue of military salary. Therefore, Wu Yuanming also secretly increased his attention to Mingzhu, so as not to be stabbed in the back by this guy.

Mingzhu arched his hand and said loudly: "Long live Xie, what the slave played is to participate in the Western Election Officials Feng Xuanlong, Feng Yinglong, Wang Yuxuan, Zhu Fuxiang and She Jiu and others, they are greedy and lawless, bullying men and women, cleverly robbing, preying on the people, and disregarding human life, the evidence is conclusive!" Please long live the Lord to issue an order to bring these corrupt officials to justice, so as to appease the people and correct discipline! In addition, Wang Yongning, the son-in-law of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, killed innocent people by arson in the downtown of Hangzhou, and the local government was afraid of the power of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and no one dared to accept the case, deliberately shielding Yongning, the king of Pingxi! Long live the check! ”

"Buzz ——!" Before Mingzhu's words fell, there was a sudden uproar in the court, and the hundred officials were amazed that Mingzhu dared to point the finger at the powerful Wu Sangui, but more faintly guessed that Mingzhu's move must have been instigated, otherwise with Mingzhu's sleekness, he would not be so aggressive towards Wu Sangui's family. And the corners of Kangxi's mouth flashed with a smug smile, and his eyes turned to Wu Yuanming, who was sitting on the right side of the hundred officials, wanting to see how embarrassed and panicked Wu Yuanming's face was now, but unfortunately Wu Yuanming's reaction disappointed Kangxi, sitting there like a mud fetus bodhisattva just smiling, as if Mingzhu's participation just now had nothing to do with him.

In other cases, once one of his disciples is impeached in the court, then in order to avoid being implicated, that official will basically kneel down and take the initiative to plead guilty, admitting the guilt of lax supervision and discipline. If you encounter a close relative who violates the law, it will be even more dangerous, not to mention the dismissal of the official if you are accidentally implicated, not to mention, it is possible to kill the head and lose your head, so once the official encounters such a situation, at least kowtow to the guilt, and then return home to avoid suspicion, and wait for the additional punishment of the imperial court by the way. But today is different, Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi, bumped into both situations, but our Wu Dashi still laughed freely, as if nothing happened. However, Kangxi waited for a long time and didn't wait for Wu Yingxiong to get drunk, so he couldn't help but ask first: "Wu Yingxiong, your brother-in-law has violated national law, what do you say?" ”

"Your Majesty, are you asking Weichen?" Wu Yuanming pointed to his nose and asked Kangxi suspiciously. Kangxi held back his anger and said, "Could it be that there is a second person named Wu Yingxiong in this court?" I ask you, what do you think your brother-in-law Wang Yongning killed in the downtown of Hangzhou? ”

"Easy to do." Wu Yuanming said very happily: "The emperor can send someone to investigate, if it is found to be true, he will cut down Weichen's brother-in-law with one knife." Of course, if you can't find out the real evidence, you have to ask the emperor to return the poor brother-in-law of Weichen to an innocence. ”

"If the evidence is found, what should you do?" Kangxi asked coldly. Wang Yongning injured people in the downtown area, and the evidence was in the pearl shoe, what Kangxi wanted was to magnify Wu Yingxiong's implication responsibility as much as possible. But Wu Yuanming's answer made Kangxi both disappointed and angry, Wu Yuanming replied with a smile: "Long live Hui, if it is found to be true, then as long as the emperor has a holy decree, Weichen will definitely kill his relatives in righteousness and cut down the lawless brother-in-law with his own hands!" If Weichen frowned, he was not a hero. ”

Wu Yingxiong was single at the age of thirteen and was left in Beijing as a hostage, and in Wu Yuanming's memory of Wu Yingxiong, his impression of his sister is vague, not to mention what feelings he has with his brother-in-law who has never met, so Wu Yuanming's answer to Kangxi is still a rare sincere word. But it was precisely because of such sincere words that Kangxi had no choice but to take Wu Yuanming, so he had to ask Mingzhu again: "Shizi, since your brother-in-law has violated the law of the country, what should you do if you are implicated?" ”

"Lord Mingzhu, you are the secretary of the Criminal Department, and you are familiar with the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty. Please tell me, is it a big crime of the nine clans of Zhulian to injure people to death in this downtown arson? Wu Yuanming asked Mingzhu with a smile. Mingzhu thought for a moment and replied dejectedly: "No." ”

"Isn't this the end of it?" Wu Yuanming smiled even more happily, and spread his hands and said: "My brother-in-law committed something in Hangzhou, I am in Beijing, and it has nothing to do with me if I don't report it." He is in the south and I am in the north, and I have no way to hide the evidence for him or provide him with a place to hide, and this cover-up has nothing to do with me. What else can I be implicated in? And what great Qing law can cure me for sin? ”

"This ...... You....... Mingzhu was dumbfounded by Wu Yuanming's rhetorical question, in Kangxi and Mingzhu's expectations, Wu Yingxiong encountered his brother-in-law's crime, and he should take the initiative to ask for the crime of implication, who knew that Wu Yuanming was not fooled at all, and also offered to ask Kangxi to cut off Wang Yongning's head, Kangxi and Mingzhu's various tricks were declared useless, and they could not be used at all. After hesitating for a long time, Mingzhu remembered the few Western Election Officials who were seized by him, and asked Wu Yuanming again: "Shizi, since the matter of Ling Brother-in-law's crime has nothing to do with you, what about those Western Election Officials who are not evil?" Son, as the prince of Pingxi, do you have the responsibility of not supervising strictly? ”

"Ridiculous!" Wu Yuanming sneered: "The Western Election Officials have committed crimes in the local area, and I should bear the responsibility of lax supervision in Beijing?" In this way, Wang Xu, the head of the household department, embezzled a huge amount of silver, so Wang Xu's direct bosses, Ao Xiangye and Ji Xiangye, also have to bear the responsibility of lax supervision? Does Lord Mingzhu want to participate in the two old ministers together? As soon as Wu Yuanming's words came out, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were whispered again, although Wu Yuanming mentioned Ao Bai was silent, his eyes showed arrogance, and Ji Bilong looked at Mingzhu with a smile, the two bad old men didn't like Kangxi's cronies Mingzhu, and the two old men seemed to be saying to Mingzhu: Boy, come to me, as long as you are brave enough.

Mingzhu also saw that Ao Bai and Ji Bi Long's attitude towards him was not good, and now Kangxi had not overthrown Ao Bai and was in charge of the government alone, Mingzhu naturally did not dare to offend these two old ministers who were in power to the government and the opposition, and muttered a few words with a cold face, "Don't dare, don't dare." Saying that he didn't dare, Mingzhu's footsteps had quietly retreated into the queue of hundreds of officials, giving up the plan to suppress Wu Yingxiong's arrogance before the court meeting. made Kangxi on the dragon chair angry and hateful, and secretly complained that Mingzhu was incompetent.

The two moves in a row did not hurt Wu Yuanming in the slightest, Kangxi had no choice but to open his mouth to announce the start of the court meeting, "Today's dynasty, there is nothing else, the main thing is to discuss the three foreign feudal lords of Pingxi, Jingnan and Pingnan, and the issue of the military salaries of the three foreign domains." What happened in Sichuan not long ago, I think you should all know very well that the reason why the rebel army invaded Sichuan was that the Yunnan-Guizhou garrison did not allocate enough military salaries, which led to the rebel army invading Sichuan to collect their own military salaries. The garrisons of Guangdong and Fujian provinces are also complaining about the lack of military salaries, because of the issue of military salaries, and privately the garrisons in the two provinces have opened the sea without permission to ban smuggling with foreign countries, and they have repeatedly banned them! ”

"The country depends on the army to defend the country, but the army lacks food and clothing, and the consequence is that the soldiers have no will to fight, and it is even more unimaginable in the long run, what should we do?" Kangxi endured his distress, and cursed Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong, the three old bastards, who were not allowed to die well, gritted his teeth and said, "Plus!" Just what's the addition? Let's discuss, let's see how much silver to add to the three foreign domains? There are also Wu Yingxiong and Geng Jimei, also talk about the situation of your three feudatories, and see how much military pay you need to pay back? ”
