Chapter 114: The Prince's Counterattack

After Xu Yuanmeng's voice fell, the eunuch beside Kangxi walked down the steps, took the fold in Xu Yuanmeng's hand, bent down and returned to Kangxi's left side, gently placed the fold on the dragon case, and then quietly retreated to the side.

Looking at the folds on the dragon case, and then at the civil and military officials below, Kangxi sighed, slowly picked up the folds and watched them carefully, after reading it, Kangxi still didn't say a word, and put the folds back in front of him.

No one saw it, at this moment, a trace of complexity flashed in the eyes of the Kangxi Emperor, and then, his eyes showed a sense of anger, disappointment, and heartache, and rubbed his forehead tiredly, Kangxi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a determined gaze in his eyes.

After the ministers below felt the changes in Kangxi, some people were happy and some were worried, the crown prince Yinren stood beside Kangxi, and felt the most obviously, after seeing the firm gaze in Kangxi's eyes, a haze rose in his heart, and he glanced down, and he nodded imperceptibly.

Yinxi also felt the change in Kangxi, although he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, but his face did not show any joy, but was as ancient as before, but his left hand shook slightly.

Yinzhen, who had been secretly observing the prince and Yinren, saw the performance of the two, as if he hadn't noticed anything abnormal, and continued to stand in place with his head bowed and silent, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Yinxi's hand shook a little, a person next to him stood out of the class, held the fold in his hand and said: "Weichen Bahai impeached Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, for misusing public power, his second son Qi Qi, who has no merit and fame, and no official position on the register, can mobilize more than 100 arresters from the Criminal Department to go to Yangzhou to make trouble, please the Holy Lord." ”

As soon as Bahai's voice fell, another minister stood up: "Long live Qiyu, Weichen Chang Ming impeached Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, for forming a party for personal gain and causing chaos in the dynasty.

Now in the entire Criminal Department, half of the officials were promoted by him, and these officials control various important positions in the Criminal Department, so to speak, the current Criminal Department is no longer the Criminal Department of the Imperial Court, but the Criminal Department of Qi Shiwu.

Qi Shiwu's move is exactly the same as Suo Etu and Nalan Mingzhu many years ago, and the behavior of controlling the government is the same, if he is allowed to develop, there may be one more worship in this dynasty, and Wanwang Shengshang will thoroughly investigate this thief. ”

At this time, Kangxi had already finished reading the three of them, and after reading it, he said in a flat tone: "I have already read the content played by the three of you, and the evil done by Qi Shiwu is listed in great detail. Xu Yuanmeng, this is the most shocking content of your impeachment, do you have evidence for the content of your impeachment? ”

After hearing this, Xu Yuanmeng took out another piece of music from his sleeve: "Long live Qiyu, Weichen and others didn't know about these sins done by Qi Shiwu before, and this matter can be revealed to the world, which is a small credit for catching fast."

That person is the long-lived imperial gift of the nine products to catch Liu Hua, some time ago, Liu Hua raided a gambling house called Jubaoge in Yangzhou Mansion, and then inspected the largest Qingfang Building in Yangzhou Mansion several times. Originally, this was just a normal office behavior of the government, but I didn't expect that Liu Hua's actions would cause Qi Shiwu's second son, Qi Ji, to be dissatisfied.

A few days ago, Qi Ji wore a yellow coat and privately dispatched 109 arresters and 120 horses from the Criminal Department to Yangzhou to make trouble.

Later, Liu Hua was charged with obstructing official business, and wanted to arrest Qi Ji, but the road was blocked by Li Jianling, the same knowledge of Yangzhou, in order to keep Qi Ji, Li Jianling actually mobilized the officers and soldiers of the Yangzhou City Guard Camp, and later, Huang Baishan, the prefect of Yangzhou, sent people to take Qi Ji away. Because of Li Jianling's abnormal reaction, Huang Baishan sent Liu Hua to hand over Qi Ji to the capital and send it to Long Keduo, the commander of Jiumen.

After hearing this, Weichen felt very strange, so he sent someone to interrogate Qi Ji, through interrogation, Weichen only knew Qi Shiwu's crime, after listening to Qi Xi's confession, Weichen was really shocked. According to Qi Ji's confession, over the years, the Qi family has operated industries in various prosperous cities across the country, and the Qi family has earned at least 80 million taels of silver by using those industries. ”

"Hiss......" When Xu Yuanmeng said this, all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Hall gasped, they were all frightened by this amount, and the ministers looked at Qi Shiwu with a surprised expression.

After taking in the reactions of the hundred officials, Xu Yuanmeng paused, and then continued: "In order to achieve the effect of business monopoly, Qi Shiwu used his power to frame competitors, forced to buy and sell, and maliciously suppressed his peers, as long as someone dared to question the Qi family's industry, they would arrest the other party, so that many businessmen would rather operate at a loss than dare to compete with the Qi family. ”

Yinren, who was standing at the top, was a little relieved to hear that these people were only impeaching Qi Shiwu for corruption, accumulating wealth, excluding dissidents, and misusing public power, and did not point out other things.

glanced coldly at Yinren below, and then at Yinzhen on the other side, Yinren said hatefully in his heart: "Hmph...... Fourth, eighth, since you are doing such a desperate job, then don't blame me for being vicious, if Qi Shiwu is planted, the two of you will have to follow the peeling skin, if you want to make trouble, we will make a big scene. ”

When Yinzhen heard Xu Yuanmeng's words, a trace of coldness flashed on his face, originally he wanted to hide behind the scenes, watching Yinzhen and the prince fight, but he didn't expect that Yinzhen was not stupid, and took advantage of the conflict between Liu Hua and Qi Ji to give Liu Hua and Huang Baishan a little credit, and then insisted on involving him.

After listening to Xu Yuanmeng's impeachment, and then seeing the evidence held high in his hand, Qi Shiwu knew that he was finished, and the current plan could only act according to the plan agreed with the prince before, and glanced at Yinzhen and Yinzhen with resentment, Qi Shiwu took the initiative to come out and kneel down, and then he said in pain:

"Long live forgiveness, the old minister is confused, the old minister is guilty, for the content of the impeachment of Lord Xu, the old minister does not dare to defend, I only hope that long live can let the old minister make meritorious service and give the old minister a chance."

After hearing this, Kangxi slapped the table violently, then pointed at Qi Shiwu with his finger, and said angrily: "Bastard, you committed such a heinous crime, and you still have the face to act there and make meritorious contributions?" Even if you transcend all the ghosts in Hell to the Western Heavens, it will not be able to offset your sins. ”

"Long live the anger, for the sake of the old minister who has followed the old minister for many years, please long live the old minister to give the old minister a chance to atone for his sins, although these old ministers have used their official positions to earn a lot of dirty silver, but a large part of the silver has been bribed by the old minister to some colleagues and local officials. Some of the ministers of the DPRK and China were personally bribed by the ministers, while those local feudal officials and officials in charge were bribed with the help of the local leaders in charge of the industry.

After these officials accepted the bribes from the ministers, they all turned a blind eye to the minister's behavior, some officials had cadres and shares in the minister, and even some officials took the initiative to help the minister suppress his competitors, and the minister was willing to expose and expose all these officials. ”

After speaking, Qi Shiwu took out a thick register from his arms: "On this list, the names of those officials who have accepted bribes from the old ministers are recorded, and the date, place, and amount of bribes when the old ministers and their subordinates are all recorded clearly. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen and Yinzhen all "chuckled" and secretly said in their hearts at the same time: "Oops." ”
