Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Court Game (Four Changes, Added for STpeter)

Sending Lawrence and Louis away, Yinren was still a little disappointed in his heart. Although the development of astronomy in the West has some results in weather forecasting, it is not much compared to the effect on my own side.

I thought that I could get a little way to promote rain from them, but I didn't expect that at this time, Western technology had not reached this point.

It seems that this drought can only be resisted. Otherwise, Yinren really can't think of any way.

Yinren drank the tea that had just been served, and at the same time thought about how to properly handle this matter. It didn't take long for those who were above the third grade to gather in the Qianqing Palace.

Although after Kangxi left Beijing, he didn't have to go to the early dynasty. But it is still necessary to gather in the Qianqing Palace to discuss the government. The news of the drought leaked, and the faces of these senior officials were somewhat worried.

Some of them are really worried about the people, but more of them are worried about themselves. In years of calamity, the emperor will find a scapegoat in order to avoid a reputation that angers the heavens and causes political disorders.

There were prime ministers in previous dynasties, so the emperors before the Qing Dynasty all pulled the prime minister as a scapegoat. These prime ministers were either demoted or exiled.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, there was no prime minister, only a cabinet scholar who was like a prime minister. Therefore, it is really necessary to find a scapegoat, that is, whoever is more senior is more dangerous.

Yinren looked at these people below and laughed secretly in his heart. What these guys are thinking, Yinren can guess one or two. Without him, because Yinren is also worried about this in his heart.

It's just that this time his enemy is extraordinarily cunning, in the shadows, and he attacks himself three times and twice. Although I haven't found any useful evidence until now. But it's just a few people.

Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless and giving you an indiscriminate attack!

Thinking so, Yinren's slightly majestic voice sounded faintly in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. "In previous years, there should have been some rain at this time. It's just that up to now, it hasn't rained for 16 consecutive days. I don't know why? ”

The officials below listened to Yinren's faint questioning, and they really couldn't say it. There was no rain on this day, and they knew the reason, but since the prince said so, they were afraid that they wanted to find a scapegoat.

Seeing that no one replied, Yinren said to himself: "Isn't it that the political affairs are not appropriate, and the employment is not appropriate?" When the officials below heard this, their hearts tightened. Sure enough, the prince wanted to take this opportunity to find a scapegoat.

Gao Shiqi, listening to Yinren's words, hesitated slightly, but still stood up. "For sixteen days in a row, the rain has not fallen, and according to the rules, Qin Tianjian should hand over the excerpt of the meteorological situation on the tenth day."

"It's just that His Highness only learned the news yesterday. Qin Tianjian and his superiors ignored the government in vain and failed to do their job, and they should be punished. ”

Yinren glanced at Gao Shiqi and said lightly, "Qin Tianjian is up and down, Gu has already been punished yesterday." "I thought about this thing nine times, but for some reason Gao Shiqi seemed to be unrelenting.

"Compared with the lives of ordinary people in the capital and Zhili, Weichen feels that the punishment is really light." Seeing Gao Shiqi speak like this, Yinren was slightly surprised in his heart. This Gao Shiqi clearly knew his intentions, but he was still contradicting himself at this time, what was his intention.

Gao Shiqi acted like this, Yinren was angry and laughed back. didn't pay attention to Gao Shiqi, just pointed to one of these big ones at random. "Tell Lonely, is Lone's punishment heavy or light?"

When the man saw Yinren asking himself, he blurted out without thinking about it: "Weichen thinks that His Highness's punishment is the most appropriate." This person's answer was all expected by Yinren. Because he was sure, Yinren dared to point to someone at random and answer.

This person is neither found by Yinren in advance, nor is he a person under Yinren's hands. The reason why Yinren dares to be so sure that the person he refers to will echo him is just speculating on people's hearts.

People have always been selfish. This time, Yinren's intentions, the officials present can also guess eight or nine. And now the punishment of the Qin Heavenly Eunuch is to be honest, it is extremely light. After all, Yinren still thinks that they can make meritorious contributions!

But this slight punishment is exactly what these people need at the bottom. The matter of Qin Tianjian has already happened, so there is a standard for this punishment. The lighter the punishment of the people of Qin Tianjian, the lighter their punishment will be when they really find out their heads. Otherwise, a biased reputation will have to hang on Yinren's body.

Yinren randomly ordered a few people to answer his own questions. After the first person said those words, Gao Shiqi secretly said that it was not good. I was a little anxious just now, and I didn't pay much attention to my actions.

In this way, it is tantamount to pushing yourself and all the officials against each other. Others want to be able to reduce the punishment or avoid the punishment, but I am deeply thinking about their punishment at home. It would be strange if they could give themselves a good look in the future.

Yinren was unforgiving, looked at Gao Shiqi, who was speechless, and said: "Yesterday, Emperor Ama sent a letter, saying that after returning from Saiwai, he would hold a marriage for his fifth brother and marry Borzigit Yunzhu Gege of Horqin. severely punished Qin Tianjian, delayed the wedding of the five princes, and made Huang Ama lose face in front of the Mongolian kings. ”

Yinren's voice was not strong, but what he said was like a giant hammer, striking Gao Shiqi's heart hard at a time. Gao Shiqi was dumbfounded, it seemed that he had underestimated the prince. Gao Shiqi hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Just when Gao Shiqi thought that Yinren had finished speaking. Yinren's heavy voice sounded in the main hall of Qianqing Palace again. "Don't you want to pull this Manchu Dynasty civil and military to bear the wrath of Huang Ama with you Gao Shiqi?"

Although this voice is not loud, it is a real heart-wrenching word. Maybe this Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not hate Gao Shiqi for this, but Gao Shiqi must be on guard.

Yinren no longer looked at Gao Shiqi, so he let him kneel in the hall like that. "Passing on the edict of the orphans, the cabinet scholars will work with Jiuqing to thoroughly investigate the big and small officials in the DPRK and China. Check carefully to see if there is anyone in your position who is not in charge. Check to see if there are any brutal people who are still in important positions. ”

Yinren paused, and then said: "The Criminal Department is still in the book, and the Criminal Department will lead the Criminal Department to check the prisons in Jingzhong and Zhili to see if any innocent people have been framed. If so, the case will be thoroughly investigated and overturned immediately! Make no mistake! ”

How many of these officials in Beijing are innocent? If you really want to investigate thoroughly, there is no way to hide any of them. Since the man wanted to calculate himself, he would let his right hand and right arm hurt his muscles and bones.
