Chapter 552: People's hearts are scattered
Seeing Hao Zeren's shopkeeper coming, Dexik and Duerhu also walked towards him together. Fastest updates
Hao Zeren couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw Du Erhu's face was bruised and swollen, and there were many residual blood stains on his face. He was about to ask, but it was Dexik who interjected and briefly explained the fact that Du Erhu was stopped and searched by the city gate guards outside the west gate of Shengjing just now.
When Dirksik recounted, Duerhu's face was very embarrassed, but his heart was sighing.
After Dixik finished speaking, Hao Zeren sighed, but there was a relieved expression on his face, and he sighed secretly in his heart, what a risk, send this Aixin Jueluo Sect to Shandong safely, but the task assigned by Li Xiao is not to capsize in the gutter.
He sighed in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he gently patted Du Erhu's shoulder, and comforted: "It's okay, it's a good thing to have a way, and it's good to be fine." “
The three of them were by the river, briefly exchanged a few words, and soon, to the point, Hao Zeren said in a low voice: "Baylor, Beizi, you see, the two boats on the boat now are divided by the two of you. Then the ship will go south from the Hunhe wharf, and sail straight to the entrance to the sea at Yingkou, where there will be another sea ship to meet you, and then the ship will sail straight to Dengzhou, Shandong, and then the king of Pingliao, Lord Li, will make arrangements for you. ”
Deksik sighed with emotion: "Thank you for the arrangement of the shopkeeper Hao, I have already explained to my housekeeper, after I leave Qingjing and go to the Ming Kingdom, I will send someone to send the remaining items and goods in the house to the shopkeeper Hao to thank the shopkeeper for taking care of him......"
Hao Zeren waved his hand and interrupted Dexik's words: "Baylor, these are trivial matters, time is urgent, I don't need to say more gossip, you can get to Shandong smoothly, and I can count myself as having completed the task arranged by Lord Li." Along the way, you must take care of your own family members, and try not to show your head as much as possible, this boat family is all from my Tang Army, and everything is arranged by them. In short, the most important thing is that you can get all the way to Shandong. “
Hao Zeren gave a few more words, and then asked them to hurry on the boat and leave.
Soon, the boat started, looking at Hao Zeren, who was waving goodbye to them on the shore, and looking at the scenery of Shengjing in the distance, Du Erhu's eyes were full of tears, Diksik shook his head and sighed, and all the people who left by boat were all sour and inexplicable.
The two ships went south, the homeland was far away, and all the departing personnel knew that perhaps, it would be difficult to return to this Liaodong homeland in this life and this life.
The cold wind was steep, the sky and the earth were dark, and the two ships, all the way quietly south, gradually disappeared into the darkness.
……
In the early morning of the next day after Du Erhu and the others left, Bai Ketu immediately went to the Criminal Department and reported the matter to Prince Zheng Zierharang, the head of the Criminal Department.
After entering the compound of the Criminal Department and reporting to the doorman that he wanted to see Zilharang, Bai Ketu suddenly found that in the compound of the Criminal Department, all the officials he saw along the way were full of anxiety and very slackness.
Of course, Baiketu knew why they were like this, and now that the emperor was seriously injured and unable to serve, the battle for power and profit within the Qing Dynasty must be close at hand, and these officials and pen stickers didn't know what their fate would be next.
Seeing the appearance of the criminal compound, Bai Ketuton had an extremely bad premonition in his heart, but now that he has arrived, can he still regress and go back. Naturally, he could only bite the bullet and wait for this important matter to be told to Prince Zheng Jierharang.
A short time later, a pen sticker came over and led Baiketu into the lobby. Entering the main hall, Bai Ketu saw that Prince Zheng Jierharang had a dull and solemn expression, sitting on the tiger head chair blankly, with a tense face and tightly locked eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something extremely important. Looking at his expression, it was as if he had no interest in coming in at all.
It wasn't until he saw this pen sticker and approached with Baiketu that Nazir Harang seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, he coughed lightly, concealed his gaffe, and said to Baiketu in a deep voice: "This early in the morning, Baiketu, you don't guard the city well, come to my criminal department, but what do you want to tell you?" ”
Becktu saluted, and immediately reported to Zilharan a brief report of the departure of Dirk and Durhu from the city the previous evening.
After Baktu finished speaking, there was silence in the entire hall.
To Baiketu's surprise, he originally thought that such a major and strange event would most likely interest Zilharang, so he immediately ordered a thorough investigation, but he didn't expect that after Nazilharang heard such words, he just frowned in disgust, but did not say a word.
Therefore, in the lobby, the atmosphere was very depressing, and Bai Ketu, who knelt on the ground in embarrassment, did not know what he was going to do next, so he could only continue to kneel on the ground in a daze.
He even thought in his heart that maybe he had repaid this report, and that Zilharang, who had no intention of doing things, might not have heard anything clearly, nor did he take anything to heart, and his own retribution was just talking to himself like a stupid person.
However, Baiketu's careful thinking is actually too much to worry about.
It was not that Zilharang, who was sitting in the hall, did not listen to Baiktu's exhortation at all, but that after listening to Baiketu's narration, he already understood what Deksik and Duerhu were trying to do.
Hmph, if you can't even see through their little tricks, you will underestimate the old political fox of Zilharang. If he was really so insensitive, stupid and ignorant, he would never have climbed from the ordinary nephew of an old slave to such a high position as Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty.
In the official history, after the death of Huang Taiji, Zilharang had been in power with Dolgon, to assist the young Shunzhi, is a hot minister in the court, in October of the first year of Shunzhi, Jilharang was the imperial court as the Xinyi auxiliary uncle king, is the only person who received the title of "uncle king" in addition to Dolgon, at the same time, the court rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a thousand horses of silk.
Of course, under the squeeze and blow of the arrogant Dolgon, a person like Zilharang, who had no real strength and was low-key and introverted, began to quickly step aside, from the situation of two people jointly assisting the government, to Dolgon's dictatorship, which was completely up to him, and Zilharang could only become a humanoid rubber stamp in the end.
However, Rao is Zilharang so withdrawn and humble that Dolgon still thinks that he is in the way, and that he has taken too much effort to fight and persecute him.
In February of the fourth year of Shunzhi, Dolgon used the bronze lion, bronze turtle, bronze crane and other things without authorization under the pretext that the new building of Jilharang had exceeded the system, and committed the crime of disrespecting and transgressing, and Jilharang was fined 2,000 silver and dismissed from the auxiliary position.
Zilharang obediently retired from his auxiliary position and took up the position of an idle official in the court, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction. However, Rao was so obedient and submissive, and Dorgon, who was so scheming and vicious, that he still planned to get rid of him as soon as possible in order to get rid of future troubles.
In March of the fifth year of Shunzhi, Dolgon instigated Beizi Tunqi, Shangshan, Tunqika and others to jointly falsely accuse Jierharang, saying that when Taizong was first mourned that day, Jierharang, as an important minister of the state, did not cite the two yellow flag ministers to seek personal gain from Prince Su Haoge, and after Hu Cong entered the customs, he arbitrarily ordered the two blue flags to set up camp and move forward. In the end, the criminal department deserved to be sentenced to death, and Zilharang was sentenced to be beheaded in the city.
At the same time, Dolgon took this as a breakthrough point, and then set up a large prison, wantonly arresting the old generals who did not obey their own self-determination, and the sons and nephews of Xiang Yidu, Fei Yingdong, and Yanguli were all implicated, and the entire capital fell into an inexplicable atmosphere of terror.
However, Dolgon's act of revenge for personal gain made the court very angry, and the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai and many ministers and banner owners were very dissatisfied. Considering that his power was not yet fully secured, and because the remnants of the Ming Dynasty had not yet been completely wiped out, after some careful consideration, he decided to take it lightly and kill them again in the future, not too late.
In the end, Zilharang was demoted to the king of Doro County, and the prince of Su, Hauge, was completely imprisoned, and the old generals were demoted, and the relinquishment was relegated, and the warning was admonished, but in the end, a remnant life was saved.
Later, with the efforts of the Empress Dowager and a group of courtiers loyal to the Emperor's power, Dolgon had to announce at the end of April that the Prince of Zilharang would be temporarily reinstated to see the aftermath.
In September of that year, the worried Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, in order to protect Jierharang, an old minister who was loyal to herself, from being poisoned by Dolgon in the capital, thought of a plan to die including Shensheng and settle outside, and awarded Jierharang to the general Dingyuan, left the Beijing Division, and led his troops south to Huguang to sweep away the remnants of the Ming court.
On the one hand, she hoped to save Zilharang's life, and on the other hand, she also hoped that Zilharang would accumulate military merit and prestige, and eventually be able to compete with the increasingly arrogant regent Dorgon.
Fortunately, Zilharang was very competitive, and the battle went very smoothly, which can be described as a triumphant song and frequent successes.
In October of that year, the Jierharang tribe passed through Shandong, suppressed the anti-Qing rebels in Cao County, captured the leaders of the rebel army, Li Huajing, Li Mingrang, etc., and at the same time obtained the evidence of rebellion against the general Liu Zeqing, and reported to the imperial court to kill him.
Subsequently, for more than a year, Zilharang has been leading his troops to fight abroad and has made many meritorious achievements. The army rushed all the way to Yongxing, Chenzhou, Baoqing, Xuanqing, Jingzhou, and Hengzhou, and almost wiped out the entire Hunan. Then the whole army broke into Guangxi and pursued it all the way to Quanzhou, Guangxi. Then he divided his army to pacify Daozhou, Liping Fu and Wusa Tusi, and conquered more than 60 cities successively. It dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Ming court and the peasant army, and made indelible contributions to the unification of China by the Qing Dynasty.
At the beginning of the seventh year of Shunzhi, Jierharang led the division to return to the court, and the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai and others were very happy, so they talked about the reward for meritorious deeds, and the Shunzhi Emperor gave him 200 taels of gold and 20,000 taels of silver to show his reward.
And then, Zilharang, who originally thought that he would have a sword and sword fight with Dolgon next, got the news that he had won the five million lottery.
That is, Dorgon, who was rampant and arbitrary, died of a whimper before he could fight against himself.
After Dolgon's death, Zilharan realized that the opportunity for revenge he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
As a result, this old political fox, who had always seemed to be obedient and honest, began to show its sharp fangs.
He first wooed the three kings of Xun Prince Mandahai, Duanzhong Prince Bolo, and Jingjing Prince Nikan, and jointly played the imperial court, requesting that the title of Dolgon, the Prince of Rui, be removed, and the crime of Dolgon was pursued.
This act of denunciating Dolgon was the greatest contribution of Zilharang to the Qing court in his life. Many Qing history experts agree that Zierharang's move finally ended the years-long imperial struggle since the death of Huang Taiji, and returned power to the emperor, so that the Qing Dynasty achieved political stability at the beginning of the entry into the customs and the critical period of waiting for reconstruction, which had a far-reaching impact on the future development.
In May of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, Jierharang died of illness and was buried in Baishiqiao outside Xizhimen in Beijing. Shunzhi was grieved by the death of Jierharang, and ordered the court to rest for seven days (only Jierharang enjoyed this honor), gave a funeral of 10,000 taels of silver, placed ten households in the cemetery, and erected a monument for him to record his merits. When he arrived in the Qianlong Dynasty, he was even more mournful and unique, and was enshrined in the Shengjing Xianwang Temple.
Therefore, such a powerful person who finally had the last laugh in the political struggle, if he couldn't even see this little trick of Dirksik and Sheerhu, it would be a joke.
Zierharang knew that the reason why Dekesik and Duerhu hurriedly left Shengjing with their dependents' luggage at dusk yesterday was because they were worried that in the next Qing Dynasty, there would be endless wars and disputes, and after weighing left and right, in order to save their lives and family wealth, they would flee from the Qing Kingdom in such a hurry and go to the Ming Dynasty or Li Xiao.
In fact, Zilharang also understands their approach very well.
Now that the civil strife in the Qing Dynasty is imminent, the edifice is about to fall apart, and marginal clans such as Dexik and Duerhu, who are already powerless, have little ability to protect themselves, and are afraid that they will be on the wrong side in the future political struggle, so they are naturally extremely afraid that they will become victims of this cruel internal strife. So now, they make such a choice, in the final analysis, it is just a desperate act of self-preservation.
Compared with the upcoming chaos of the Qing Dynasty, the exodus of this kind of marginal clan is really not a big deal.
Zilharang understood that even if he had acted immediately and ordered officials from all over the country to arrest and arrest the fugitive Diksik and Durhu, and could successfully bring them to justice, how would such an approach actually help the whole situation?
And when the civil war in the Qing Dynasty was approaching, the whole situation was in a state of chaos and uncertainty, so that strict rectification and punishment within the clan would not get any other benefits except that it would only make oneself an enemy in vain.
This will only offend people, but will not get anything good, of course, whoever does it is a fool.
After a long time, Zilharang, who was sitting in the hall, came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said to Baiketu with a blank face: "Well, what you said, this king has already understood. Go back, how to deal with this matter, this king has his own opinion. ”
Listening to Zilharang's perfunctory and cold reply, Baiketu was extremely disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything more, so he could only answer sullenly, and then said goodbye and left.
Seeing the sullen and departing back of Baiketu, Zilharang sitting on the tiger-headed chair, his expression was very gloomy and complicated, but in the end he just said lightly: "Alas, people's hearts are scattered, ......", and then he sighed long.
