Chapter 195: Bad News

Dorji was not afraid, nor did he speak, he grabbed it in one step, lifted Liao Shengyu over like an eagle catching a chicken, and said with a knife to his neck: "Tell this group of pigs to go back, otherwise I will kill you with a knife!" "Liao Shengyu has been a door official for many years, and he has never gone through such a situation, a court official was actually threatened in public, if he is soft, how will he behave in the future? Because he straightened his body, he cried out by his neck, "It's all food!" How many of them are there? Take the ......" Before the words fell, Liao Shengyu's head had already rolled to the ground......

The crowd was in an uproar. Dozens of Goshha did not slack off, shouting and scolding, some blocked the road, some reported the news, and the rest came to fetch people, and the big gong sounded loudly. In the distance, the yamen of the criminal department, knowing that something had happened, rode out in all directions, and sealed the yamen with shouts. Although these dozen or so Mongols were brave, they finally succeeded in the wrong place, and in the blink of an eye, they were all tied up like cold ducks.

The matter at the door, Suo Etu had already heard Chen Xijia say. He was discussing the matter of adjusting grain with the crown prince and the prince, Xiong Cixu, the minister of the upper study, and the Shangshu Duoji of the household department, but he didn't want to pay attention to it, but the matter had reached this point, and he couldn't ignore it. Suo Etu couldn't figure out Kangxi's attitude towards Geerdan, so he looked at Xiong Ci and said: "Dongyuan Gong, this is a matter of the household department of the Li Fan Academy...... What do you think? ”

"The clown jumping off the beam in the Western Regions dares to be so arrogant in the Celestial Empire, is this worth it?" Xiong Ci learned from the Taoists, and after listening to the report of the man at the door, he inserted the fire medium into the bamboo tube, jumped the hookah on the table, and said, "Duoji, you go out and have a look, and ask what is going on with that fugitive slave." The Mongolians who made trouble will be handed over to the court as a whole, and they will be tried together with the criminal department, and the crime will be punished according to the law! Duoji nodded silently and withdrew.

Duoji went out, and the two continued to discuss, but they couldn't discuss it anymore. Cai Yurong and Zhao Liangdong on the Yunnan front asked for food, and they had been asked to raise their own food; The Feiyang ancient army at Gubeikou asked for food, and asked them to borrow it from Horqin and Heilongjiang; Due to the lack of transportation, the grain in Beijing had to be transferred by land, although it was slower, and it could be used. The most difficult to dismiss are in Gansu and Shaanxi, where there are Mongolian refugees who have been driven in by Geldan from Khalkha Mongolia, and the grain transferred from Shanxi and Henan is simply not enough. The 2,000 Mongols sent by Geldan to pay tribute are looking for trouble every day!

After a while, Duoji came in and said, "Back to the two middle halls: that Mongolian woman is not an ordinary person. It is the only daughter of Khalkha Mongolian Tushetu Khan, Baori Long Megege, whose Han name is Axiu, who entered Beijing to knock on the edict to attack Geldan. When she was begging for food, she was unexpectedly recognized by Geerdan's envoy, and she caused this trouble. The ministry didn't dare to call the shots, so please ask the two Zhongtang to decide. ”

"Duoji, you send someone to ask for Wang Jieshu. Let's hand the sign into the Ouchi! Suo Etu stood up, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "It's just past the beginning of the new year, it's still too late, and the emperor has to ask the emperor for approval!" With that, the two of them got up and hurried away.

When the time was right, it was the time when the palace gate was under the key, Sula eunuch carried a lantern, patrolled the courtyard, and shouted while walking: "- money and food, be careful - the lights - " At this time, Xiong Cilu and Suo Etu handed over the sign, not only Kangxi was surprised, but even the pearl who was on night duty in the study did not know what was wrong, and he rushed to the Qianqing Palace to see Kangxi with a lantern.

On the kang of the Xinuan Pavilion of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, under several cases, the documents, war reports, and barometers on the top of the gilded cabinet are piled up like a hill one by one. Kangxi was holding the six-year-old prince Yinren and pointing to the words on the chapter. Seeing Mingzhu come in, he put the prince by his side, and said with a smile: "In the end, you are close, you came first-the empress dowager looked at me too tired, and it was interesting to call this little trick to mess around...... Mingzhu hurriedly asked for peace, and took the prince's hand and said: "I haven't seen Chitose Lord for many days!" It's high! It's also blessed, what a blessing ......" said and took out a piece of sweet potato from his arms, which he used to satisfy his hunger at night, and said, "Little master, have you eaten this thing?" Spray incense! The prince flashed his big eyes, looked at Mingzhu, didn't dare to ask for it, smelled a pungent fragrance, and was reluctant. After a little hesitation, he snatched it away and arched into Kangxi's arms.

"Look at what this looks like!" Kangxi smiled, "How can the things that take over the courtiers be like this? Didn't you teach you with your eunuchs? ”

"I'm afraid ......" the prince raised his head and looked at Kangxi, "his eyes are so bright......" said and looked back at Mingzhu again. Mingzhu was bored.

For a while, led by Jieshu, Suo Etu and Xiong Cixu came in turn. Kang Xinyin said with a smile: "At this time, I can't think of anything important when I hand over the sign." Didn't you hand the box in, afraid of my punishment? Xiong Cilu first explained the method of adjusting the grain that Fang had just discussed with Suo Etu and Duoji, and then slowly said: "The ministers and others have been alarming the holy car at night, but they are not for these things. For a murder case, please ask the emperor to judge! Then he explained the matter at the gate of the Ministry of Household Affairs in detail.

"You're coming in the right way." Kangxi kept frowning and listening, and asked someone to take the sleepy prince away, and said: "I think this matter should be divided into two layers: the first is that the court is unable to manage the affairs of the west at the moment, and it can't turn against Geerdan." Gelong entered Beijing with 2,000 people, which was originally no king's law. I don't cure his sins, and I don't see him, but I'm thinking of a way to get both. Don't provoke this person for the time being. On the second floor, they killed people in Beijing and were punished. Kill people to meet their lives, not to mention kill a court official! If the court is tolerant, they will become more and more uplifted, and they don't know what to do in the future! ”

Jie Shu said with a smile: "The master is very right. However, now that the war in Yunnan is not over, it is not appropriate to start another war. He killed people and made trouble in order to force his master to see him and recognize Geldan as a khan. A few days ago, when Gelong had just entered Beijing, the Imperial Court consulted the six departments, and none of them advocated the exoneration of Geldan. The slave thought, since he can't be guilty, why not do a favor and return the princess to him, and if the crime of murder is not pursued for the time being, he will have no excuse......" Xiong Cixu heard this, and he was very disapproving, but Jieshu is the king of politics, so what is not good. He blushed and sneered: "The foreign envoys came to see the Celestial Empire, how could there be such unruly?" It's not that the court can't beat him, it's that they can't get rid of it right now! It is really unseemly for the officials of the six ministries to say such weak words! Mingzhu has always played the tailwind flag in front of Kangxi, so he said: "This thing has to be neither soft nor rigid, just right for the fire." He has already been called Khan, but he wants to be recognized by the imperial court. The slave thought, why don't you use this case to summon Gelong, while soothing with kind words, while severely reprimanding, wouldn't you be able to punish the murderer in a canonical manner? ”

"What about the princess?" Soetu asked coldly, "When Gelong came to the audience, if he asked, 'Why do you protect us when we ask for the enemies of the tribe?' 'What to do?' ”

It's a problem that can't be handled. Gelong has 2,000 people in Beijing, and the princess stays in Beijing, and she may be found again. If you want to restore Gerdan, you can't give it to anyone. Kangxi had already received a secret recital, saying that the princess of Tuxietu was in exile in the Central Plains. He had secretly instructed various places to pay attention to the inspection, but she was close at hand, and wanted her to live in the palace, but it was inappropriate to think about it. Just as he didn't pay attention, Mingzhu slapped his hand and said: "Quietly let her go overnight, this is called death without proof!" With such a big Central Plains, where are they looking for it? ”

"Where?" Kangxi said, "She went to Beijing to sue the emperor, let her out, and still want to come, what should I do?" ”

Xiong Cilu pondered for a long time and said, "That's why I have to do it...... Chen asked a family member overnight to take Baori Longmei out of Beijing and settle it in Chen's hometown in Hubei, and talk about it when there is a chance in the future......"

The plan was agreed on the day, the ministers resigned, and Kangxi opened the recital box to review the recital overnight.

On the second day, Kangxi closed the study, and the ministers gathered in the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Qianqing Palace to meet Gelong. After watching Ge Li's performance last night, he was so angry that he ordered Xiong to give a grass edict to Jackie Chan immediately and take it to Beijing, and hand it over to the ministry for strict discussion. But after two drafts, he was not satisfied, and always felt as if he owed something to the shortcomings. With a gloomy face, he looked at the drizzle outside, and when he saw Gelong come in, he hurriedly restrained his mind, and when Gelong had saluted, he asked, "Gelong, do you know what kind of place this is?" You actually indulged your subordinates to disturb the Jingshi and rob the people's daughters? Are you going to rebel? Gelong hurriedly kowtowed: "This is the imperial city of Bogda Khan!" Please forgive me, I am a loyal subordinate of Boshoktu Khan, and our Great Khan has an order: whenever you see anyone from the Tushetu tribe, you will be killed! Therefore, it is regrettable that there was a conflict with the household department. ”
