"The Emperor...... Your Majesty, what is the matter of Hengzhou...... Why bother? ”

Seeing that it was going to be early autumn, the Beijing Autumn Festival was done in advance, and Kangxi was going to patrol the autumn hunt again. Before leaving, he specially summoned the minister, who was in poor health and could not accompany him, to show his gratitude, and the conversation with Lee Kwang-di was more than polite.

Li Guangdi went back to his hometown in Anxi, Fujian Province to recuperate, but not long after, Kangxi called him back to Beijing again and again. On the one hand, Li Guangdi was really in poor health, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the situation in Fujian, so he repeatedly refused. Yinzhen's army was frustrated in Yizhang, and Kangxi sent the imperial physician and the inner court guards, accompanied by Fan Shichong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and carried Li Guangdi back to Yanjing.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Guangdi also began to burn himself, dragging his sick body to make a plan for Kangxi, and after Kangxi weighed it again, he decided to adopt Li Guangdi's opinion in its entirety.

This is Kangxi's decision after learning from the pain and reflecting deeply. When Li Shi was in turmoil at the beginning, Li Guangdi suggested that he should collapse by himself, but he didn't want Kangxi to despise Li Shi and failed to keep this strategy. Secretly organized a two-sided offensive, trying to use the strength of Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangxi provinces to eradicate Li Shi's lair in one fell swoop, but Shaozhou was defeated. After that, he was even more passive all the way to the field he is now.

can talk about the disposal of follow-up affairs, Kangxi still has his own ideas, or rather, this is a difficult choice that he has to make as an emperor, and such a choice, even Li Guangdi, who Kangxi regards as a minister, still can't understand it, after all, this world is not for courtiers.

"This is a military affair, and it is also in line with Jinqing's plan, let go of Hengzhou, show weakness to Li Thief, and save him from being forced by the pressure of the Hengzhou army, and his mind is still on Hunan."

Kangxi criticized the twists and turns, while saying that the two monarchs and ministers had already had a tacit understanding, and the imperial court must now take a breath and concentrate on eliminating Tseling Dundobu in Qinghai.

Weichen bluntly said that the matter of Hengzhou is small, the matter of Manchu and Han is big, and the situation is so far, the emperor is thundering...... Ahem! Thunder, rain and dew are all graces, and they should also be stained by the Manchurians and Hans, so as not to have unforeseen disasters. ”

Li Guangdi was seriously ill, and he didn't have much time to say, and he spoke more directly. Hengzhou is just an introduction, what he really wants to talk about is Kangxi's handling of his subordinates. After setting the policy of tightening the inside and loosening the outside, Kangxi vigorously cleaned the court, and even pushed out Zhao Shenqiao, who had been eaten and hung up because of the corruption case of his son Zhao Fengzhao, the prefect of Taiyuan, and transferred him from the household department to the criminal department, stirring up a turbulent "Guangdong Party case". 【1】

Zhao Shenqiao first understood Kangxi's intentions, and secondly, in order to wash away his image of a clean official who collapsed due to his son's greed, he was extremely ruthless. has the previous experience of the Dai Mingshi case and the Jiangnan Shunfeng case, and the efficiency is also very high, and in just a few months, he has come up with a long list of confessions and physical evidence. More than a dozen people led by the military department's servant Tian Congdian were convicted of many major crimes such as "rebellion", "banditry", and "rebellion", and the criminal department quickly agreed to abandon the city, and more than 300 Beijing officials, local officials, and green battalion generals were exiled to Ningguta.

Although Zhao Shenqiao was recommended by Li Guangdi, Li Guangdi had no place to interfere with this action. The turmoil caused by the Guangdong Party case was far better than the defeat of the imperial court in Hunan, but it was all suppressed by Kangxi's excitement and Zhao Shenqiao's cruelty.

There were all the people on the list, but only Hanchen was guilty of a felony. Tian Congdian, the "leader of the Cantonese Party," was just paving the way in Yanjing for Li Shi's promotion to an official and making a fortune, and then he barely made up this first crime by relying on Tian Congdian's correspondence with Li Shi's "national teacher" Duan Hongshi. As for the others, they never imagined that the various "rules and gifts" they received for Li Shiban's donation had also become ironclad evidence of their collusion and rebellion. Last year, the Ministry of Officials gave Li Shi the scribes who went through the paperwork procedures of Nanhai Zhixian even more wronged, which was the meaning of the imperial court.

Recently, a number of officials who "escaped" from Guangdong were also taken into custody, and with a stroke of Zhao Shenqiao's pen, these civil and military officers were all charged with "collaborating with the enemy," "banditry and espionage," and "losing their land and dereliction of duty," and all of them were taken into custody, thus making the entire list of the "Guangdong Party case" even fuller.

In addition to this list, there is another list in the DPRK and China.

Who had close contacts with Li Shi in the past few years and covered him in Guangdong?

The former governor of Liangguang and the current secretary of the military department, Zhao Hongcan.

Former governor of Guangdong, current governor of Huguang Man Pi.

The former commander-in-chief of Shaozhou, the current commander of Hangzhou, Bai Daolong.

Who has the most business dealings with Li Shi?

Jiangning weaving, two Huai salt class imperial history Li Xu.

Who is Li Xi's real umbrella in the court? Whose protégé is now holding an important position close to the prime minister in the puppet dynasty?

The Eighth Prince.

Who is messing around in Guangdong and forcing Li Shi to rebel?

The fourth prince Yinzhen.

Speaking of the war situation in Hunan, Hengzhou abandoned without a fight, and the general civil and military forces and ordinary people did not know the roots, of course they would not go to see the governor of Huguang Man Pi and the governor of Hunan Ye Jiusi, but to see Yanxin, who fled like a rabbit. Hengzhou is so important, but the extension letter of the abandoned soil was only demoted to the fifth level and retained, so it is too obvious to protect it.

Coupled with Yanxin, the composition of this list is very complicated, there are princes, civil officials, and military generals, but they all have a common characteristic, most of them are full of people, and all of them are banner people.

Kangxi cleaned up the court to clean up people's hearts, but not to shake the foundation, there is a difference between Manchu and Han, and there is no difference between Qi and Han, this is the foundation. Even the Han people were the chickens that Kangxi used to kill chickens and monkeys, warning the Manchus and the banner people not to think carefully.

"Then Li Shi is not against the Han people, but the Manchu people and the banner people, how can the Manchu flag people communicate with Li Xi and oppose me in the Qing Dynasty!? This is a self-evident and self-evident thing, so why should it be broken down to the world? I'm clear...... It is relying on the Manchurians, relying on the Manchurian and Han Eight Banners to determine the world, is it possible that you Han people, do you really want to be able to integrate the Manchu and Han? ”

Even if the monarch and the minister knew this, Kangxi would not say it to Li Guang. He was a little annoyed by Li Guangdi's outrageous admonition, and snorted unhappily: "If you want me to use thunder and rain and dew, the recipient must first have the idea of having a family in the world." ”

Li Guangdi begged Kangxi for this "internal tightening" policy to make the Manchus and Hans equal, but Kangxi said that if they wanted to be equal, the Han people could not have any complaints, which could not be discussed at all.

"That's all...... I'm afraid that Li Shi will take advantage of the gap and cause trouble to people's hearts......"

Of course, Li Guangdi didn't dare to argue with Kangxi, so he had to sigh deeply.

"That Li Shi did not send a large army and officials into Hengzhou, and those who fled to the civil and military also said that Li Shi's puppet dynasty relied on industry and commerce, and raised troops and administration for the sake of industry and commerce.

Kangxi's heart was full of anger, and his grasp of the situation was much more transparent than before.

"Even if Li Shi is unable to play, the force in this case is too deep and too biased, and it is still difficult to ensure that the people's hearts are not aligned."

Li Guangdi is still worried.

"I have ruled the world for 55 years, and I am based on generosity and benevolence, how can people's hearts be uneven......"

Kangxi is not as worried as Li Guangdi, his heart is uneven, he doesn't know, but he can know if his tongue is uneven. Under the sword, how can it be together, and if it is not even, it will be cut together...... The mouth is scattered, but a twist and turn made him stunned, and the previous excerpts that have been raised to greet the war, this fold is about Hengzhou, said that Hengzhou is lost, should be held accountable for leading the general, if the rewards and punishments are unclear, the army's heart is unstable, and the people's hearts will be restless.

was originally a simple admonition, mixed in the conversation between Kangxi and Li Guangdi, and suddenly seemed to be deeply attentive, Kangxi snorted angrily, this Jiang Chenxi, so bold, dare to shake the foundation of national politics!? Unstable military morale? Restless? Is this an admonition or a threat?

This twist and turn is the governor of Shandong Jiang Chenxi, this person Kangxi used to feel loyal and diligent, but it can be of great use, originally planned to let him replace Guo Ying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, it is really unexpected, this "Guangdong Party case" really exposed too many people's hearts.

"If there is any unevenness, its people are unkind and righteous, and it is better to be a beast! Governing the country is like planting plants and trees, and the miscellaneous branches should be pruned from time to time! ”

Kangxi had a cold look on his face, it seemed that it was time for Zhao Shenqiao to check this Jiang Chenxi, not only him, but anyone in the court who dared to take advantage of Hengzhou's affairs to play would be thrown to Zhao Shenqiao to deal with it.

At present, the situation in Hengzhou is strange, the Qing court officials and generals have run away, and they do not want to leave any traces of the court in Hengzhou, but the British and Chinese army did not have a single soldier stationed in it, nor did they send an official. After the people of Hengzhou experienced a look from the north to the south, some of them fled to the north, some of them moved to the south, and the remaining part of them did not want to run, so they stayed and enjoyed the bittersweet time of being unofficial and without a country, which was rare for a thousand years.

When this news spread in the northern official faces, even remote villages in Yinghua already knew about it, and now in Guangzhou, Huizhou, Shaozhou, and Zhaoqing in Guangdong, people's posts have basically been set up in place, and all kinds of newspapers can go down to the villages.

Township officials promoted, local gentry followed, everyone contributed money together, and all kinds of newspapers were ordered for villagers to know about important news, which was also an auxiliary measure for the government to go to the countryside and the establishment of the public bureau. In addition to the official newspaper Anglo-Chinese Newsletter, local governments also choose other newspapers according to the situation.

In addition to the official newspaper, the most popular in Guangdong is the "Yuexiu Times", after all, the newspaper has to be read by readers, and the "Yuexiu Times" is very suitable for the taste of readers, it is said that the main writer Lei Zhenzi is still from the Hanlin of the northern court, the writing is elegant, the position is fair, and the government affairs of the new court are very meticulous in preaching and judging. Other main writers are also brilliant and insightful, one of which is called "The Man in White", who is often criticized for some details and omissions in the New Deal, which has attracted readers to regard him as the leader of the clear stream.

"Sister! Look at this issue of "Yuexiu Times"! ”

Yingde Baicheng was in the grass hall, and Guan Xuan rushed in like a whirlwind, shouting loudly in his mouth, as if something big had happened.

"This set of tables and chairs was used when the husband and my sisters were married, so we can't lose them, put them together and move them to Huangpu......

Yan Sanniang, who has a big belly, is directing his subordinates to move things in the grass hall, Huangpu Wuya Palace is almost completed, Li Shi wants to take them over, Yan Sanniang's woman's surname is attacked, and she is searching for old things worth remembering at home, and she wants to bring them over together.

"Sister, what are you anxious about, I don't have the patience to read the Yuexiu report, it's always a sour ......"

Hearing Guan Xuan's shout, Yan Sanniang frowned and shook her head.

"Sister! This, this, this...... The newspaper actually ...... is actually scolding the fourth brother! ”

Guan Xuanyuan stared at the jasper-like pupils, and a thick anger was tumbling inside.

"What!? Dare to scold my husband!? ”

Yan Sanniang's eyebrows rose suddenly.
