In the fourteenth year of Chongkang, March 26.

Daming Palace Hanyuan Palace, the Great Dynasty.

Emperor Chongkang left the more than 100 letters he received yesterday and did not send them, and he discussed them in the court today.

This was a signal of obvious concessions, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the imperial historians of Lantai Temple, asked the Son of Heaven to be benevolent and reduce the punishment of Dapi.

Even Yang Yangzheng, the imperial historian of Lantai Temple, who has been ill for a long time, deliberately went to court today.

Yang Yang is a rare veteran minister of the two dynasties who is neither a new party nor an old party, but is in charge of Lantai.

He has always been jealous and hateful, strong and upright.

But even he said to Emperor Chongkang: "Your Majesty, now all the rebels will be captured and ambushed, and there will be no more treachery between the government and the opposition, but the great cadres will also be greatly injured because of this." Fortunately, the situation is right, the situation is balanced, and the new law is popular all over the world. At this time, if there is a big killing, it will have something to do with the heavens, and it will not be the blessing of the society. ”

Even Yang Yangzheng came out to express his position, which attracted more and more heated discussions in the Manchu Dynasty.

Emperor Chongkang, who had been with a blank face and indifferent eyes, looked around for a week, his eyes fell on the person who was ranked second in Wuxun Banchen, his eyes suddenly froze, he slowly spoke, and asked in a low voice: "Champion Hou, what do you think?" ”

The moment Emperor Chongkang spoke, the noisy court class was instantly quiet.

As he asked, the eyes of countless ministers of civil and military affairs fell on Jia Cong.

There is scrutiny, indifference, doubt, and expectation......

Jia Cong came out of the queue and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister still thinks ...... Eliminate the evil! ”

The corners of Chongkangdi's mouth couldn't help but pick up, but then returned to normal.

Even if he already knew in his heart, the current situation could not tolerate a hard end, and the harm outweighed the good.

But seeing that his courtiers are so persistent, he is still satisfied.

However, Jia Cong's words stabbed the hornet's nest.

Many ministers are indeed afraid of his current power, but they are afraid of his aura as the leader of the Son of Heaven's army, not of himself.

Now even the Son of Heaven is hesitating, his opinions are undecided, and Jia Cong's own decision obviously has nothing to do with the will of heaven.

Therefore, the Manchu ministers criticized it without any scruples.

"No compassion for virtue, no compassion for human ......"

"The high is unkind, the lord is unjust......"

"Although he is in a prominent position, he has no ...... virtue"

The gossip crusade can be summed up as Jia Cong's high power and title, but he doesn't think about worrying about the country, putting state affairs first, blindly killing, brutal and unkind.

"Jia Cong, what do you say?"

Looking at Jia Cong, who was indifferent, as if he was unaware of the impeachment around him, and was standing there quietly, Emperor Chongkang asked slowly.

Jia Cong replied: "In his position, seek his government." The minister is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Son of Heaven is pro-army, so he should take the maintenance of imperial stability as his own responsibility. Judging from the position of a minister, the best way is to eliminate evil. If a rebellious person is not punished, is it not dereliction of duty? ”

Ning Zechen frowned, looked at Jia Cong with his thin body sideways, and said: "Champion Hou, it's not that you don't punish rebellion, it's just that this case involves a wide range of people, and many people are confused and rebellious. Even if these people should also be killed, but their family members, their nine clans, must also be killed? If it continues to be implicated in this way, there will be more than 100,000 people. ”

Jia Cong said lightly: "Yuan Fu, this official is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so he only looks at things from this position. According to the law, the rebel is a heinous crime, and he should be punished by the nine tribes.

As for whether this move will affect the imperial court, the government, and the stability of the world, it is up to His Majesty and the ministers of military aircraft to decide, but it is not the turn of this official, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to worry.

In his position, seek his government. If you are not in your position, you should not seek political power. In addition to thinking about the safety of the imperial power, if the official also thinks about the court situation, it is arrogance. At that time, he should be shouted and killed like this.

Judging from the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, there is no more appropriate measure than to kill the rebels to maintain the imperial power.

As for the other factors of gain and loss of stability, it should be Yuanfu, the head of the dynasty, and other military ministers to think about it in unison, and then give advice to His Majesty.

If this official has thought of all this, what else do you want to do? ”

Ning Zechen: "......"

After a pause, Ning Zechen's old eyes gradually brightened, and after taking a deep look at Jia Cong, he turned around and looked at Emperor Chongkang with proud eyes on the dragon chair.

The monarch and the minister have been together for a lifetime, and Ning Zechen knows too well the mood of the emperor on the dragon chair at this moment.

At the beginning, when he defeated the old party and had no power to parry, this emperor looked like this......

Extreme appreciation!

But also, Ning Zechen didn't expect that Jia Cong could have such insight and be able to say this......

He bowed down to Emperor Chongkang and said, "Your Majesty, after listening to the words of the champion Hou, the old minister understood, but the minister was dumbfounded. Indeed, it should be so, in its position, and in its government. If you are not in your position, you should not seek political power. If everyone has this understanding, then there will be much less internal friction in the court. Your Majesty, the champion Hou is judging from the official position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he should eliminate all evil. But the dynasty cannot only focus on this view. With great perseverance, His Majesty found out the rebels of Prince Yizhong and his gang who were confusing the Chaogang and plotting against him, so that Yuyu clarified that this was a great good. But if all those who are bewitched by the traitors are punished, it is really not conducive to the stability of the court. The punishment of 100,000 people, including tens of thousands of women and children, will interfere with the national fortunes. The ministers also hoped that His Majesty would be lenient and forgive them for their capital crimes. Furthermore, the clan ......"

Hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and Ning Zechen got carried away.

The affairs of the clan are so sensitive, especially when Emperor Chongkang lived not long ago, but the child in Yuanchun's womb could not be born for more than half a year.

At this time, the affairs of the clan cannot be mentioned, even if they are gracious, they must wait until the new emperor ascends the throne, and in the name of the new emperor, the clan will be amnesty to accumulate the emperor's grace.

With this kindness, no matter what the kings of the clan want to do, they will lose their righteousness and become ungrateful.

Where is Ning Zechen's turn to mention it at this time?

Sure enough, Jia Cong saw Emperor Chongkang's already indifferent face, and after listening to Ning Zechen's chatter and persuading him to be generous, he became more and more cold, and before Ning Zechen finished speaking, Emperor Chongkang stood up, and did not give any dignity to the first minister of the Chongkang Dynasty, leaving only a sentence of "discuss again", and turned to the harem.

Looking at Ning Zechen's stunned and even helpless expression, a sadness was born in the hearts of the hundred officials......

After Jia Cong glanced at Ning Zechen lightly, under the gaze of hundreds of officials, he turned around and left, leaving the Hanyuan Palace.

If you continue to watch, you are forcing Ning Zechen to death.

……

"Your Excellency!"

As soon as he left the Daming Palace, he joined Zhan Peng and the others, and saw Han Tao waiting on the side, and when he saw Jia Cong coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Jia Cong frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Han Tao smiled and said: "My lord, there is a matter that I can't solve, so I can only bother my lord and ask for a way." ”

Jia Cong looked at him and didn't speak.

Han Tao laughed dryly, knowing that Jia Cong didn't like to be verbose in official affairs, so he got straight to the point and said, "My lord, the cell is really not enough!" All the cells in the capital, one is counted as one, and they are all crowded with people, and their lowly legs are about to be broken, and there is no more free place to lock people up. Normally, there are only ten people in a cell, but now there are thirty people in one cell, and they can't be closed like this......"

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I remember that there is a cavalry room on the side of the commanding envoy's yamen, which is vacant and detained. In addition, don't let people be idle, except for the one who directly rebelled, other prime people pulled out, and many streets in Nancheng Minfang were going to become stinky ditches, let them clean. It's best to clean up the entire Shenjing City, and wash away their sins. ”

When Han Tao heard this, he almost didn't kneel down for Jia Cong, and forced a smile and said, "That's it...... Such a lowly subordinate may be a little understaffed. My lord, can you let Brother Shen's subordinates loosen up a little, in the past few days, his brothers have been beaten by one hundred and eighty, and the people below are complaining, the team is not easy to lead......"

Jia Cong lowered his face coldly and said sharply: "Do you still have the face to say?" For the sake of your hard work these days, I was not going to beat you and leave you some dignity, but you slammed the door yourself. Look at the things that those bastards under your command have done, Jinyiwei has only been established for a few days, and he dares to do things that bully men and women and blackmail the people! Fortunately, Xianwei found out early, so he didn't make a big mistake, otherwise Jinyiwei's face would have been lost to you, and you would still dare to plead?! Han Tao, I warn you, if there is such a thing as lax management of the army, it will not be a matter of beating dozens of military sticks and kicking out the brocade guards, I want your head! If you can't do this calming envoy, someone else can do it. ”

With that, he turned his horse and left.

Zhan Peng watched Guo Yun follow, and then said to Han Tao, who was sweating profusely, with a smile: "Old Han, have you poured lard in your brain?" Even I know it's not the time to go wrong, and you're still pleading with those bastards under you? Don't you know how many people are staring at us at this time, just waiting for something to go wrong? Shen Bingshan didn't even dare to close his eyes in the past two days, for fear that there would be a problem in Jinyiwei, and you still pleaded? In the future, you simply don't call Lao Han, call it pig intestine. If something really happens, the adult is actually a sin of lax majesty, and everyone knows that the adult is willing to let go of power. But when it comes to you, it's a matter of losing your head! Hey! It's also evil, and you're still pleading? Then you can plead well, ah, keep begging, and I'll help you ask when you get back! ”

When Han Tao heard this, his old face turned pale, and he slapped his forehead and said in remorse: "I'm a fucking stupid donkey!" Stupid ass fucking!! Good brother, thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise it would be ......"

Seeing Han Tao's frightened face, Zhan Peng laughed, and said while patting the horse: "You are a stupid donkey who is a donkey, who dares to be a brother with you, go to your donkey brother." ”

……

"Ye is back!"

Jiajiadong Mansion, Ning'an Hall.

Seeing Jia Cong's return, Ping'er, Qingwen and others hurriedly stepped forward.

Qingwen was the most unurbanized, staring at Jia Cong with beautiful eyes and giggling: "Third master, guess what?" But after asking the question, he didn't wait for anyone to answer, so he couldn't hold back his joy and said: "Old lady, they moved back again, hahaha!" ”

Ping'er slapped her with a smile and said angrily: "You are not happy! ”

Then she explained to Jia Cong, who was looking at her: "There are so many people in the west at once, moving stones and carrying huge trees, knives and saws, and the movement is too big. The old lady and the lady couldn't stand it, so they came back. ”

While talking, he was changing clothes for Jia Cong, and went to the court clothes, when he heard the voice of a little girl from the porch outside: "Two. Grandma is here! ”
