Chapter 96: Chinese New Year
After Wu Ge left with two hundred guards, it didn't take long for Zhu Yanzhi and Xu Shizhen to hurry over, this year's things in Shanghai are complicated, neither of them went home for the New Year, but today they were invited to drink in the 'natural residence', and they hurried to come when they got the news, and when they saw the martial law in the whole city, they knew that something was wrong.
Hai Feng didn't say anything polite to the two of them, and explained the incident and his own arrangements in detail, and then said: "You two are responsible for calming down the people in Shanghai and cleaning up the scene, so as not to cause other accidents, I'll go to the academy to have a look." ”
Zhu Yanzhi and Xu Shizhen were shocked when they heard that the matter was so serious, such a big case, neither of them could escape the involvement, and seeing that Haifeng had handled and arranged it properly Chapter 96 for the New Year, where else could they say anything, they hurriedly took the order and left.
Seeing the two of them go out, Wan Yan Haifeng didn't dare to delay, and immediately rode to the Naval Academy, fortunately, Wu Ge and Yande were finally full of prestige, and they all the children of the clan were obedient, and the students were not abnormal.
Hai Feng was completely relaxed, and then carefully sorted out his thoughts, the eyes and ears of all parties in Shanghai were there, and six people died this time, one of them was still a child of the clan, this matter could not be suppressed no matter what, this time I am afraid that the fourteenth master will be affected miserably, during the Taiping period, there was a fight between the garrison and the locality, and six people were killed and dozens of people were injured, which was really a shocking event. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly wrote a secret letter to Yinzhen, asking the five guards to send it to Yinzhen as quickly as possible.
Beijing, Chinese New Year's Eve.
At about 5 o'clock in the morning, Kangxi got up and went to the palace to throw incense and salute, and invited gods and Buddhas from all over the palace to celebrate the New Year in the sound of firecrackers.
Yinzhen slept in a daze and was woken up by Hairuo, as the master of the palace, he also had to make incense and salute all over the palace, in order to pray for peace and auspiciousness in the coming year, everything goes well, although he was unwilling, but Yinzhen also had to follow the customs, and the whole capital was full of firecrackers Chapter 96 New Year's Sound, and he couldn't sleep well if he wanted to.
After finishing these, the sky has dawned, after breakfast, and a short rest, Hairuo urged him to change into court clothes, and at noon, he should rush to the Baohe Hall to participate in the banquet for the Mongolian princes of the foreign domains to come to the court. Yinzhen muttered to himself in his heart, where is this New Year, it is simply torture, and he will not go to the capital for the New Year next year.
At noon, Baohe Palace, after a long and cumbersome etiquette, finally sat down at the banquet table, due to lack of sleep, Yinzhen could not raise a little interest in the delicacies on the table, Kangxi at this time has a smile began to accept the celebration of the Mongolian princes of the foreign domain, followed by a dance, acrobatics, a hundred opera performances.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the Taihe Hall celebrates.
The sky is bright, Yinzhen and a group of princes and nobles, civil and military officials rushed to the Taihe Palace, at the time of the morning, the bell and drum were sounded on the noon gate, the band played music, Kangxi slowly ascended the throne of the Taihe Palace, the sound of firecrackers, and the praise officer shouted "scheduling". Hundreds of officials knelt in line according to their ranks. At this time, two scholars knelt to hold the congratulatory watch, read by the official of the Xuanbiao, read the end, the hundred officials knelt three times and bowed nine times, the ceremony was over, the emperor gave the seat and gave tea, the hundred officials kowtowed again, the tea was finished, the firecrackers sounded again, the band played again, the emperor went down to the palace, and the hundred officials also withdrew from the hall in turn, and the New Year's ceremony came to an end.
The New Year's ceremony is over, the princes and nobles, civil and military officials can go home, Yinzhen and other princes have to rush to the Qianqing Palace, and bow three times and nine bows on His Majesty outside the palace, and then it is a family banquet, and after the end, he can't go back to the house, the Queen Mother of Xiaohuizhang is still alive, led by Kangxi, and a group of people have to go to the Queen Mother for the New Year's gift, and then it is a family banquet.
The second and third days of junior high school are continuous banquets, and Yinzhen has been miserable this year, but what makes him even more painful is that he received a secret letter from Haifeng on the fourth day of junior high school.
Just after reading the beginning, Yinzhen was shocked into a cold sweat, six died, more than 70 were injured, and a child of the clan died, after reading the letter, he didn't even have the mind to scold, it was really not as good as the sky, it took a lot of effort on his side to draw all the attention away, I thought I could be comfortable for half a year, but I didn't expect such a block to break things again, and suddenly stood on the cusp again.
As soon as this matter spreads out, it will not cause a big uproar in the government and the opposition, and the relatives and nobles of the clan will definitely not stop there, and will definitely demand that the Gu family be severely punished, and the ministers will also make a big fuss about this matter, but they will definitely blame the navy from the perspective of maintaining local stability, and the prince's party will definitely take the opportunity to attack him as the dean, but I am afraid that even the governors in the coastal areas will write a letter to impeach him for causing trouble, and the Inspectorate will rely on impeachment to eat, and they will not miss this opportunity.
After meditating for a while, Yinzhen picked up the pen and replied to Hai Feng, first affirming his disposal method, asking him to try his best to treat the injured, and carefully screen the children of the Gu family who participated in the fight. The Naval Academy's initiatives are also maintained for the time being, waiting for his return. In short, we should do everything we can to take measures to stabilize the localities, appease the people's minds, and try to make big things small, so as not to let things go back to twists and turns.
Yinzhen originally wanted to go to the Lianbeile Mansion of Starling Yinxi, and let Yinzhen come forward to blow the wind to the princes and adults of the Eight Masters Party, so as not to be attacked by the crowd, and then thought about it, such a big thing, if only a few adults were impeached, it would make Kangxi disgusted, so he went straight to the palace, Kangxi was the thickest thigh.
When he arrived in the palace, Yinzhen learned that Kangxi was having a banquet, but he didn't dare to disturb Kangxi's excitement, so he had to wait patiently, and waited until the time when Kangxi summoned him.
Kangxi has also been tired these days, and when he learned that Yinzhen had been waiting in the palace for most of the day, he knew that something must have happened, and after a little thought, he concluded that something had happened to the navy in Shanghai. ”
Yinzhen knew that this was not a small matter, so he took off his hat and put it on the ground first, and then replied respectfully: "Huang Ama Cave is a candle, it is indeed the navy in Shanghai that has an accident. As he spoke, he explained the situation in detail.
Kangxi was also surprised when he heard it, this kind of thing has not been heard of for many years, these children of the sub-sect are really not worry-free, they actually poked such a big leak, and after a long silence, he asked: "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”
Yinzhen replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor Ama, this matter is all negligence on the part of the ministers, thinking that they will change after more than half a year of training, but I didn't expect that they are still a group of gentlemen in their bones, and they should have set up a naval inspection team in Shanghai County a long time ago to picket military discipline and supervise violations of discipline."
Although the people of Shanghai are not as fierce as the people in the northwest, Fujian and other places, they also go to sea all the year round, and the blood is still there, especially the local clan power is very strong, which can be seen from this conflict, Shanghai is the location of the naval academy and shipyard, and Erchen believes that it is not appropriate to have bad relations with the local people, gentry, and clans, otherwise it will seriously affect the future development, but for the evil people who participate in the fight, Erchen will not be soft.
In addition, Erchen believes that the duty of the navy is to open up territory for the country, to keep the country safe and secure, not to bully the people, and this trend cannot be long, and when Erchen returns to Shanghai, he will vigorously rectify military discipline, strengthen their education, and severely punish the students who participated in the armed fight. ”!!!
