Chapter 33 - Trying to Protect the Straight Minister
Fu Linjian visited the Qianqing Palace that was about to be completed many times, and after entering Beijing, he could only temporarily live in the Weiyu Palace, which was a genuine dormitory, under the prevarication of Dolgon's intention or unintention, and the construction was delayed. It has been more than four years since he became pro-government, and the southeast and southwest have not been pacified, and he has no time to pay attention to this matter. Now, it's finally about to be put back in place, congratulations!
After returning from the Jingshan Imperial Palace ban that day, the Queen Mother reminded herself again and again of the lessons of the former Ming Dynasty's close servants and the eunuch temple's chaotic government, saying that since ancient times, the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty is all the emperor's skill and put an end to the exclusive favor, once the close attendant sits big, the sin lies in the slave, but the fault lies in the master! In this way, Fulin was also enlightened, and after thinking for a few days, he asked the Ministry of Industry to cast the iron plaque and stand it in the just-completed Jiaotai Palace. When I thought that I had created another precept for future generations, my heart was so beautiful that I couldn't do it, and I secretly swore that in the future, if I violated the order, I would be severely punished!
Wu Liangfu has also been a lot more cautious recently, originally the queen mother was very concerned about him, but now he has suffered losses from the second elder brother three times and twice, and he has to hold his tail. There is only one thing, that is, that day in Dongyi, the little prince Weishenme wants to take the initiative to round the field and go down to himself, Wu Liangfu has not figured it out.
On the surface, they all understand that they are the emperor's favor, even if the queen mother insists on buying herself, the result of zuihou is not certain. But Wu Liangfu always felt that the calculation behind this little Xuanye might be even greater! But I lay in bed for more than a month, and I still couldn't understand it. In this way, he had to be more careful, and temporarily suppressed the idea of dealing with the second son of the second emperor of the East and even Concubine Kang of Jingren Palace, for fear of the Dao on the side of Cining Palace! For example, this time, the emperor looked at the increasingly complete Qianqing Palace, and said intentionally or unintentionally that the furnishings in the palace should still be selected, and he just made a statement to let his apprentice Wu Ren go out of the palace and enter Jiangnan to procure. Fu Lin was overjoyed, and re-entered Wu Liangfu as the chief eunuch of the thirteen yamen.
"Master, the slave went to Jiangnan to procure this time, thank you for the master's kind words in front of the emperor, the slave will definitely honor your old man when he comes back!" Wu Ren, the waiter of the Yugong Palace, who had a beautiful difference, was beating Wu Liangfu's legs and pinching his feet on the kang, and he was very busy.
"You little bunny, do you know how expensive this errand is? Our family is a good one to speak for you in front of the emperor! Wu Liangfu raised his foot and pointed to the specific part of the pinch.
"Slaves understand! The slave must do a good job and come back to honor you! As soon as Wu Ren thought of the wealth of Jiangnan, he hurriedly wiped his mouth with the hand that rubbed his feet, and continued to serve more vigorously according to Wu Liangfu's meaning.
"Little Renzi, do you know what to do with this errand?" Wu Liangfu closed a pair of triangular eyes slightly, and looked at his apprentice and godson.
"After the slaves went, they did their best to get all the fine objects on the ground in Yangzhou into the palace...... Wu Ren paused, and then said, "The slaves are sent by the emperor, and those local officials must have a vision, if they are stubborn, the slaves will make them look good!" This filial piety comes up, since the master has seen it a priori before making a decision......"
"Well, yes, you kid still have a little conscience. Come here......" Wu Liangfu smiled with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to signal Xiao Renzi to come forward, then pinched his white woman-like face, and then said, "Do you know what our family likes?" ”
Since Wu Ren entered the palace as a eunuch, with his own exciting spirit drill camp, coupled with the relationship between his fellow villagers, he finally became Wu Liangfu's apprentice, and with his fair skin and delicate like a woman, he became a "godson", how can he not know the habits of this old minion?
"The slave knows, this time, by the way, I will select a few little girls with good looks and outstanding skills, and enter the palace to do some rough needlework, so that you can be trained by your godfather...... Wu Ren took advantage of the situation and put a pair of delicate white hands deep into the old eunuch's middle clothes......
Wu Liangfu still has a plan in his heart, since the emperor set up the "day lecturer", it has become increasingly inconvenient to leave the palace, and he has not visited his "younger sister" Dong E's family in Xiangwang's mansion for a long time, although after King Xiang entered the seal, he immediately asked for a decree to return to the front line in Shanxi. Now, if you take advantage of this tolerance to seek a few more smart women for your master, first, you will inherit the emperor's will, and second, you can also defeat your heart and sweep away the bad luck of the recent days. As for the iron plaque standing in the Jiaotai Palace, it is too far away from him, so he should do nothing......
Ji Kaisheng, a newcomer to the "Right of the Military Division", was lying in front of the bookcase and dancing with a carving knife, although the sun was still blazing in the early autumn of this year's Beijing Division, he was meticulous and concentrated, and he didn't care about wiping it even if the sweat dripped on the back of his hand. Finally, zuihou raised the knife with a knife, and the engraving was completed!
Ji Kaisheng held the seal stone and looked at it for a long time, but he really couldn't find any shortcomings, so he took the seal pad, adjusted his breathing, and slowly and accurately pressed the morning's hard work into the fiery red ink, and after applying force evenly, he gently lifted it, and carefully buckled it on a side of rice paper, and then lightly lifted the seal stone, and four blood-like big characters jumped on the paper - "Eternal Rivers"!
"Haha, come on, give this seal to Mrs. for tasting!" Ji Kaisheng was very satisfied with this masterpiece of gold and stone, and called the maid at the door.
"Master, master......" The answer to him was Ji Fu, the scholar he brought from his hometown and the current steward of the house.
"Why are you so flustered?" Ji Kaisheng didn't raise his head and continued to watch his proud work. The four words of "eternal rivers and mountains" can be entrusted to the love and admiration of the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty for a person like himself, and the gratitude to the emperor for his knowledge.
"Master, your cousin and niece in our hometown fled to the house and are crying at Mrs. Madame, please hurry over. Ji Fu gasped, and at first glance, he was running from the backyard.
"Fleeing? I haven't heard that there have been military disasters in the Taixing area of my hometown Jiangnan [1] recently? How do you want to flee? Ji Kaisheng was very puzzled, it stands to reason that the Zheng clan in the southeast has finally returned to the imperial court, so naturally they will not send troops to the north, and they have not heard of natural disasters. Seeing Ji Fu's embarrassed face, he knew that there would be no fake, so he hurried to the back house.
Sure enough, what was crying in the lady's bedroom was one of her nieces Xiaolian, who had just turned twenty-eight this year, and was handsome, but she was crying sadly at this time. "Uncle, save your niece!" When she saw her cousin, Xiaolian knelt on the ground and couldn't cry.
It turned out that after the autumn, a group of officials came to the Yangzhou territory, saying that it was at the emperor's order to purchase all kinds of uses, and to recruit young girls to enter the palace for service. This frightened the local people, and they saw that a few young girls who were about twenty-eight years old and quite beautiful were forcibly recruited, and all those who had unmarried girls in the family left their homes one after another to escape this disaster. Moreover, it is said that Qin Cha is a great eunuch in the palace, and he has the bad habit of molesting young girls along the way, which can be described as evil, but it is everywhere along the way under the banner of the Holy Decree and the Emperor's Order, and local officials at all levels, those who have some conscience dare to be angry at best, not to mention those corrupt officials in the township who fish and meat on weekdays, but also take the opportunity to increase the weight layer by layer and exploit everywhere. For a time, Yangzhou, known as "the best place in Zhuxi and the famous capital of Huaizuo" in the south of the Yangtze River, can be described as chickens flying and dogs jumping, and people's grievances are boiling. Ji Kaisheng's cousin lives in Yangzhou, seeing this scene, he was helpless, changed his only daughter into a set of rags, and smeared a black on his face, and then arranged a reliable subordinate to accompany him to the capital, and went to the biggest backstage of his family.
Ji Kaisheng didn't listen to it, and he was really angry when he heard it. It's not because his family niece has been so wronged, but this matter is really damaging to the Qing Dynasty that has not been in the customs for a long time! He Ji Kaisheng boasted of being heroic and strong, outspoken and daring to admonish, and together with the same year Jinshi who was an official of the dynasty, he privately called himself "the first minister of the founding of this dynasty".
In August last year, when earthquakes occurred frequently in Beijing, Ji Kaisheng said bluntly: "The tunnels are not quiet, and the people are uneasy." The people are uneasy, and the officials are derelict in their duties. There are about ten ends of the dereliction of duty of officials: one is called the edict, the second is the light of the people's lives, the third is the subordinate officials, the fourth is the protection of the officials, the fifth is the heavy consumption, the sixth is the collection of relics, the seventh is the Guangzhulian, the eighth is the court lawsuit, the ninth is the loss of bullet pressure, and the tenth is the play of impeachment. The ten "drawbacks" listed showed the key to consolidating the rule of the Qing Dynasty, which was deeply appreciated by the emperor and immediately adopted. Although it is still a small matter, according to the system of the Great Qing Dynasty, he can directly impeach hundreds of officials, which is called "refutation". A eunuch temple is rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know it, I can't help but speak out if I know it!
The next day, on the morning of the third day of the seventh month of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the royal gate listened to the government, and the right of the military department gave Ji Kaisheng a messenger to Yangzhou to buy women into the palace for service. The emperor was furious, saying that such a rumor-mongering and confusing public could not stay in the court as an official, and immediately dismissed Ji Kaisheng and investigated it.
When Hongyi knew about this, he was asking the Queen Mother for peace in Cining Palace, and when he heard Shang Yougui tell this matter like a storyteller, he immediately knelt in front of his grandmother and cried silently.
"Good boy, what are you crying about, is there something uncomfortable? Su Ma, hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor! After more than a year of getting along day and night, the Empress Dowager Burbutai was worried about this little grandson, who had long been regarded as the pearl of her palm, and saw him crying and worshipping on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Huang Mama, the grandson is not uncomfortable, but he is willing to burn the jade with the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty!" Hongyi just kowtowed and cried, but he didn't get up, and he released a cruel word!
"What? Daring! Who said that the Qing Dynasty was going to be ruined! Who's going to let you go to the Jade Burning Shrine! Could it be that you are not satisfied? Even if it was his beloved grandson who knelt on the ground, after hearing this headless and brainless sentence, the queen mother still questioned sharply, but her heart was like a mirror, and her little Xuanye who was auspicious from the sky would never have any intention for no reason.
"Huang Mama, since I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, I finally have the first heroic and strong, outspoken Hanchen, this is a fortunate thing for the country, meaning that the Manchu and Han are one, the national fortune is long, and the dragon is prosperous! But once this person is punished again, the Han Chen and Han people will definitely be cold, and the hearts of the subjects who have not been attached for a long time will be very easy to change! Hongyi matched the tone of voice and continued to knock on the floor tiles with his fat head.
In his life, he went to the ancestral house of the Ji family in Xianhewan in Taixing City, Jiangsu, and knew that this Ji Kaisheng, he became famous as a young man, and his literary talent was outstanding, and he was known as the "Jiangnan Genius". What's even more tragic is that a few years later, he will be beaten to death by a single bully! As a direct minister, the end is so sad, why not use it for yourself and be a "cadre reserve"?
"Xuan Ye, do you know that the back ~palace~ is not allowed to interfere in politics?" The Queen Mother listened and nodded silently, but said a fundamental question.
"My grandson knows. But if what Ji Kaisheng said is true, then this matter of internal supervision and chaos still needs to be thoroughly investigated by Huang Mama! ”
That's right, how to deal with the courtiers bluntly is the emperor's business, but if the matter involves the inner eunuch temple, it is the scope of responsibility of the queen mother, the lord of the queen mother of the queen house of the queen house of the queen mother of the queen house of the queen house!
"Good! In this case, the mourning family will clean up the portal! "The queen mother's face is happy, grandson Xuanye, now she is really her right-hand man, every time she gives advice, she is every word, and she thinks about herself everywhere, much better than the long-estranged son emperor!
"Yougui, you go to spread the will of the mourning family, and let the heads of the inner thirteen yamen supervisors come to Cining Palace for questioning!" The Queen Mother made up her mind and made a decisive order.
After a while, Wu Liangfu, the head of the thirteen yamen who had been reinstated, gathered in Cining Palace with a group of deputy governors and chief eunuchs.
Hong Yi'an sat next to the Queen Mother, although she looked like a child, she didn't take anything this time, let alone eat any pastries, just sat upright, with the dignified and majestic Queen Mother, and also put on a non-smiling expression, a pair of black and clear baby eyes, clearly revealing a trace of murder.
"The slave respectfully invites the Queen Mother St. Ann!" This sentence is very neat!
"The slave greets the second master! The sentence "......" was first praised by Wu Liangfu, so the other eunuch leaders also asked the second son of the emperor to say goodbye, but the momentum was a little chaotic. After all, except for Wu Liangfu, who has personal experience, the rest of the eunuchs have only heard of it, but they have never personally experienced the power of the second elder brother who is more than a year old!
"Wu Liangfu! How did you get bad? Don't your subordinates even know how to say goodbye? Are you bullying me, the emperor's grandson, at a young age, and raising your thoughts of being a big bully? "The Queen Mother preemptively strikes and punishes her heart!
"Damn it! Damn the minions! ......" Wu Liangfu is now in front of these two ancestors and grandchildren, there is no superficial temper at all, he immediately trembled with fright, trembled on his knees on the ground and turned his head hard, and said viciously: "You stupid slaves, the second master is sitting here, why don't you hurry up and say goodbye!" ”
No matter what position the chief eunuch is, at this time, he was frightened by the queen mother's sentence of "slave bullying master", and saw that even Shang Yougui, the chief eunuch of the Cining Palace and the deputy head of the thirteen yamen, took the lead in kneeling down, and hurriedly followed the tone of the head of Shang and came again: "The slave asks the second master for peace!" ”
Hongyi knew what he was doing with today's tablet, and he didn't care about these kneeling eunuchs, but just said: "Chief Shang, I want to drink water!" ”
"Huh!" Shang Youmali got up to greet the maid beside him, and at the same time looked at Xiao Xuanye gratefully. Even the Queen Mother was moved by this little cleverness and smiled kindly at Hongyi.
The maid took a cup of human milk, and she didn't dare to serve it in person, so the Sun family behind her took it, first touched it with her lips, and sensed that the temperature was just right, so she knelt in front of Hongyi, raised her hand to the master's mouth, looked at him and took a sip, got up and retreated. In the process of serving the master of this standard, Hongyi did not have a trace of gratitude from beginning to end, and accepted it naturally, but he saw the eunuch leaders of the various prisons very clearly: this young master, although he is only sixteen or seventeen months old, is already smart-minded, just like an adult, and he will have to serve him as a master in the future!
"Huang Mama, so many eunuchs are the leaders, are they the ones who are in charge of all the people in our Forbidden City?" Hongyi is starting to get into the role.
"Yes, they are all eunuchs in charge, all the eunuchs in this palace, no matter which one of them is brought out, the master can be found here!" The Queen Mother looked at the twenty or thirty people kneeling down and said slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, one or two timid ones began to sift in place.
"Oh, then if a eunuch goes out of the palace to make trouble, no one here will be able to escape?"
"My grandson is so smart! Exactly! ”
"Today, the emperor Ama Yumen listened to the government, and a courtier said that now, there are our royal servants in Jiangnan, who are using the procurement of the Qianqing Palace to loot the people's fat and ointment, and forcibly recruit Han girls into the palace to serve. This minion must be a fake, doesn't he know that my dynasty Taizu Taizong has already had a holy hadith, and there are no Han girls in the palace! Erchen thought that this person who was currently making a fortune in Yangzhou must be an impostor! ”
"Oh, Wu Liangfu, is there such a person who goes to Jiangnan to do these dirty things?" The two ancestors and grandsons went back and forth, which made Wu Liangfu's back and forth sweat stains.
"Back to the Queen Mother, last month, I did follow the master's will and ordered the servants to go out of the palace to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase the utensils used in the Qianqing Palace, but I didn't say anything about the Han girls entering the palace and serving in the palace." Wu Liangfu knew that he was going to be unlucky again, and even so, he could only lose his pawn and protect the car.
"It turns out that there is indeed a thing, so this slave weishenme is so bold and reckless that he actually falsely preaches the holy decree and harasses the people?" The Queen Mother asked.
"The slave is derelict in his duties, the use of people is not noticed, and the slave is guilty of death!"
"Well, it's good to admit it, mourning your family and remembering you are also serving the emperor with all your heart, so I won't blame you. But this ~ palace ~ slaves, which mourning family has the responsibility of taking care of and punishing, you have to understand! In this case, you need to know what to do with the slave who pretends to pass on the Divine Decree. Besides, on the side of the outspoken minister, you must also have an attitude, don't let the loyal ministers be hurt by your minions! Also, how do you report to the emperor? ”
The slave knew, and the slave said...... Let's just say that the slave himself was negligent in employing people, and the dog slave acted recklessly after leaving the palace, and actually ignored the royal celestial majesty, and his crime should be punished! There is also the outspoken Lord Ji Kaisheng Ji, who is actually my first minister in the Qing Dynasty, if he is wronged because of his slave, the slave can only die and apologize! ”
"Well, you leaders and eunuchs should learn from your Chief Wu carefully, dare to act and maintain the royal family, this is your duty!" The Empress Dowager Zuihou said loudly.
"The minion remembers!" All the big eunuchs understand clearly, that is, there is a little eunuch who has to be confused and have suffered on behalf of others.
Two days later, on the fifth day of the seventh month, Fulin issued an order: "Taizu and Taizong system, there are never Han women in the palace." I obey the Empress Dowager's mercy, how dare I act recklessly, that is, I will not do it after the peace, let alone today? Although I am not virtuous, every time I think of imitating the sage and saint, I work hard day and night. If you buy a woman into the palace, how will you become like the Lord? Today's investigation, Wu Ren, the original palace attendant, disregarded my life, took the opportunity to purchase the palace for use, and searched for the people's fat and ointment in Jiangnan without authorization, and even more, in the name of me, he forcibly recruited Han women into the palace for his own use, and his crime was unforgivable. There is a military department right to the middle of the Ji Kaisheng, heroic and strong, outspoken and daring to admonish, I am very comforted, appreciate the yellow coat, admire this. ”
With the beheading of Wu Ren, the eunuch of the Yugong Palace, in the Yangzhou market, the boiling "case of forcibly buying women in the palace" in Jiangnan finally gradually subsided; Fu Lin saved face, and he didn't feel sorry for the life of a little eunuch at all, but instead gathered the thoughts of a group of Hanchen; The queen mother took the opportunity to eradicate one of Wu Liangfu's right-hand men and severely suppressed the old eunuch's spirit; Although Wu Liangfu lost his beloved apprentice, he also broke his tail to survive and seek more blessings for himself.
A few days later, Liang Gong, who went out of the palace to purchase the second master's gadgets, came back with a small box, which contained a gold stone, engraved with green bamboo words, and attached a bright red seal treasure - "Eternal Rivers and Mountains"! Hongyi played with it for a long time, couldn't put it down, and gradually felt that in these four words, there was still the admiration and friendship of many Han scholars......
[1] Jiangnan Province was originally under the jurisdiction of Nanjing (Nanzhili) of the Ming Dynasty, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Jiangnan Province was established in the second year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1645), and the provincial capital was located in Jiangning Mansion (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). The scope of Jiangnan Province is roughly equivalent to the two provinces and one city of Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province and Shanghai Municipality today. Jiangnan Province was the most developed province in the country at that time, and its Jiangning (Nanjing City), Suzhou, Yangzhou, Huai'an (Chuzhou District), Songjiang (Shanghai), Huizhou (now Shexian), Anqing, Wuhu, Chizhou, Xuanzhou, etc. were all very developed areas at that time, and the taxes of Jiangnan Province accounted for one-third of the country. Due to the high degree of development of Jiangnan Province, in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1661 AD), Jiangnan Province was divided into Jiangsu Province (including Shanghai) and Anhui Province.
