Liu Chang, a sixty-year-old Han Shangshu of the Criminal Department, knelt at the emperor's feet, and even put his warm hat in front of him, but he just knocked on the gold bricks of the Yugong Palace with his navy blue brain, making a dull sound of "dong dong" and "dong dong", which was really an authentic look of "risking death to admonish".

According to the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty, the minister greeted the emperor and knelt down, and when he kowtowed, the hat could be taken off and placed in front of him. But Liu Chang's style today is a metaphor for his advice, he would rather not survive and his life will not be guaranteed, or he will never give up until he achieves his goal!

"Typical forced palace!" Fulin whispered.

In fact, he hated Han Chen's so-called "risking death to admonish" in his heart - the Manchurian and Mongolian ministers, ordinary issues are often outspoken, no matter whether the emperor's master likes to listen to it or not, I finished my thoughts, the decision is still in the hands of the emperor, and Zuihou is just obedient to the execution of the slave. Even if the opinions of the monarchs and ministers are contrary and irreconcilable on major issues of right and wrong, the people who are full of Mongolia will insist on their own opinions, but they often leave the table in anger, go home and wait for the fate, or turn their faces on the spot, just hoping for a quick death. Only some Hanchen, at this time, put on a jiashi begging for death, but they grinded and did not move the real style, that is, they wanted to consume the emperor to be soft! It is also said that "the Holy Lord is not stubborn and is good at hearing and accepting advice", which is really cunning!

"Wu Liangfu, go and help him up and see if he's hurt!" Fu Lin's disgust is disgust, since he wants to be the Ming Jun of the Han Confucian scholars, he has to go with the flow.

"Huh!" Wu Liangfu took three steps and made two steps, personally ran down from the imperial steps, and scooped up the soft and collapsed Liu Chang. Fortunately, Lord Liu has a fat head and big ears. The door of the head is just black and purple, and there is no other problem.

"Your Majesty, the old minister risked his life for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong must not be used!" Liu Chang, who stood up, still refused to give up, and he had to "slip out" and continue to kowtow, but he was easily "controlled" firmly by the old eunuch slave who was the same age as himself, and he did not "succeed".

"Liu Chang, your loyalty and patriotism have been understood, and you must stop talking nonsense. This matter still needs the collective wisdom of all Aiqing to make a conclusion! "For the time being, Fulin has to retreat into advance, and has to make decisions that are almost a matter of course. Under the pretext that the ministers discussed it together, it was postponed for another one or two.

looked at Liu Chang, who was sitting on the palace bench with gorgeous hair, tears, unrelenting and a small gain. Fu Lin recalled the past of the Han Shangshu of the Criminal Department that he once valued, and couldn't help but feel sorry -

Liu Chang, Liu Yingzhou! How did you become so perverse? Earlier, the former Ming Jinshi who had words and deeds, and who had made many achievements and could be regarded as capable ministers, was in the middle of things. How did I disappear after I wrote the book? To know. How optimistic and valued you back then!

The fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625). You are thirty-three years old in high school, and since then you have stepped into the official career, successively serving in Shaanxi Sanyuan and Zhili Yuancheng. Because of the outstanding political performance. Examined the imperial history of Zhejiang Province, and found the household department to give the matter. After I entered the customs in Manchuria, you were more than the mandate of heaven, but you were as good as a stream, and resolutely returned to the Qing Dynasty, so you were retained by the original appointment. At this time, you can be said to be loyal to your duties and show your talents! I was still in Chong Ling at that time, but after I became pro-government, I checked many documents during the regent of Dolgon, and found that you had announced ten things in June of the first year of Shunzhi, which were 'one scale, one trial temple calculation, one promotion of sincerity, one cluster strategy, one benefit, a certain economic endowment, a certain official system, one promulgation of the Lu, one Ming and other prestige, and a heavy order'. Which of these ten things is not a good policy to worry about the country and the people, and to share the worries with the monarch? Even Dorgon, Prince Rui, is very appreciative of you! Even today, these "ten things" are still the most important! It can be seen that at that time, you were in the temple and had the world in mind!

It must have been your talent that Dolgon discovered, so you rose to prominence before I became a ruler. In the same month that you "enlightened the ten things", I grabbed the Taichang Temple Shaoqing from a small six-grade right to the matter, and assisted the Taichang Temple Qing to take charge of the ceremonial music, suburban temples, sheji, altars [[wéi], the low walls around the ancient altars], and the mausoleum, which can not be said to be reused. Of course, you also did a good job, and in less than a year, you put the various state ceremonial systems of the Qing Dynasty on the right path.

So, in April of the second year of Shunzhi, you were promoted again and promoted to the Taifu Siqing from the third grade. The importance of this position goes without saying - I will win the world immediately in the Qing Dynasty, and the servant Siqing, who is in charge of the world's horses, although he is hard, is the most important! Let you be this official, it can be seen that Dolgon recognizes your ability!

After another two years, you did a good job and were promoted again, and you were appointed as the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and the title became from the second grade! In just three years, you have changed from a minor official of the seventh grade of the former Ming Dynasty to a member of my Daqing Dynasty from the second grade! Another year, and then turn into the left waiter of the headquarters! Of course, this is the reward of your dedication and loyalty to the court in the past few years, and it is well deserved.

Maybe Dolgon pulled you out too fast, you were proud of the spring breeze, and finally on the sixth day of the sixth month of June in the sixth year of Shunzhi, you memorized the words for the first time in your political career! When I was ten years old, I remember very well that it was the day of the Tianzhen [kuàng] festival. Wu Liangfu told me that this day is the day when God gave the book of heaven to Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, and he should return from learning scriptures from the west with Master Xuanzang, and accidentally threw all the scriptures into the sea on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and fished them up and dried them, so they were preserved.

I was flipping through the books when I heard the rumbling of cannons and the cracking of the earth just south of the palace, and I saw smoke rising and flames rising into the sky. Poor people as big as Wu Liangfu were so frightened that the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty had invaded Beijing. I'm not afraid, no matter if you come to the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty or the thieves, I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so I naturally have the blessing of heaven! So he ordered me to drape me neatly on the left and right, and the emperor and I took a group of imperial guards and ran to Tiananmen Square. As soon as I was halfway through, I saw you hurrying into the palace, and when I saw me, I bowed my head and bowed, and even said that I deserved to die for my sin, and my Ministry of Industry had caused a big disaster! A fire broke out outside Tiananmen Square, and I was asked to move the coal mountain outside the Xuanwu Gate as soon as possible.

It turned out that on that day, there was a Zen wife and a woman from the Guangtai family, Lai, who was herding geese in front of the Jinshui Bridge, and when she had nothing to do, she simply sat on the pile of cannon ropes in red clothes and ate cigarettes! However, the soldiers of the Ministry of Engineering who were guarding neglected their duties and did not reprimand and drive them away at all. As a result, the two flag girls missed the tinder. The cannon rope was ignited, the weather was dry, the fire was rapid, and soon more than 33,800 cannon ropes were burned, more than 200 gun trucks and more than 120 warehouses were burned.

I've heard you say that it's the flag woman who eats smoke and starts a fire, but I think it's not as interesting as raising a war. However, seeing that you were sincerely frightened, and felt funny, he comforted you and said, "If something happens, you are the first to run into the palace to report to me, for fear that I will bow down and make a mistake." It shows faithfulness. Go back. I'll keep you! "After you thanked Dai De and left, Wu Liangfu also praised me as a benevolent king, which strengthened my determination to protect you.

Sure enough, it was later reviewed by the Criminal Department. It is planned to behead both the Zen wife and the Lai family. It was also determined that your Ministry of Works officials did not let people guard the ropes. It is proposed to sentence Jin Zhijun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Li Yinghui, and you should each be fined 100 taels of silver. and compensated for the redemption of the vehicle and the rope price, totaling more than 2,300 taels. I remembered the promise I had made to you that day, so I fought with the regent Dorgon, and finally made a decree that both his wife and Lai's family should be spared death. Dozens of lashes as a punishment will be counted. Jin Zhijun, a Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, and Li Yinghui, a waiter, followed you to the light, but you were each fined for three months, and the rest of the officials involved were also given light hair.

Since then, I have a deep impression of you, especially after the pro-government, which has not pulled you down any good things, right? In October of the sixth year, Yi En Zhao added you the title of Imperial History of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate; In August of the eighth year, with the addition of the empress dowager's honorific title Qin En, you were given the title of crown prince. Even if you are pampered and arrogant, you actually took the opportunity to pay tribute to Que Li in the ninth year of Shunzhi and returned to your hometown in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province without permission.

Do good deeds to the end, send Buddha to the west! In April of the tenth year, I came to Nantai [Zhongnanhai Yingtai] and gathered all the university scholars, bachelors and Jiuqing Han officials to take the bow and shoot in the Imperial Horse Pavilion. After the shooting, he gave a banquet to the scholars and monks in the back hall of the south platform. I clearly remember that Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Feng Quan, Esehei, Ning Wanme, Chen Mingxia, Chen Zhixuan, Jin Zhijun, Wang Yongji, Hu Shi'an, Li Huaxi, Zuo Du Yushi Xu Qiyuan, and you were all present at that time. As soon as I saw that the people were so together, I wanted to give you a step down, so I deliberately said:

"Mortal filial piety is greater than relatives. Gu Yun: When you are a parent, you must know how to be flattered. Once you have your parents, how can you get it again if you have a reason? If you can't be filial piety in life, but want to be filial piety after death, I don't think it's filial piety! ”

How obvious this is to excuse you for returning home to save your relatives without permission, Liu Chang! Hearing me say this, Chen Zhixuan, Chen Mingxia, and Li Huaxi[1] all followed suit, and if they had to go home to see their parents, I could only say, "I know everything!" "As the emperor, I said this in order to exonerate you, and as a result, people will follow suit. If it becomes the norm, what is the majesty of my emperor? Later, I had no choice but to let go of the capable Li Huaxi and went back to my hometown to serve my mother, what a loss it is for me, who loves me like my life, do you know?!

Liu Chang, Liu Chang, do you understand my good intentions? I don't value your talent and ability when I do this, I hope you will share my worries and serve the country! But how do you repay me?

Who would have thought that within three or five days after I came to Nantai, Ren Zhen's case finally made you, the former Ming ministers, who favored the party and deceived me, the ugly East Window incident! [See Chapter 148 "Why is it too anxious to fry each other"] I have always hated forming a party the most, and I was even more ruthless in deceiving me! But even so, I still cherish your talents, and finally give you and Hu Shi'an and the other thirteen people a lenient sentence, exempt them from the punishment of exile, only demote them by one level and fine them for one year, and still serve their original positions.

What I didn't expect was that since then, you Liu Chang has been like a different person, it seems to be overkill, and he has cut off his robe and broken righteousness with all Hanchen, and there is a lot of jiashi who don't get along with each other, even to the point of saber rattling and-for-tat!

I know your original intention, which is to tell me that you have not been favoritist or selfish. But you don't know me after all! Whether it is Ren Zhen's case or Chen Mingxia's death, in the final analysis, it is the so-called north-south dispute between you Han people, the dispute between the old and the new, and the internal friction of the same party and different parties, which make me have to pull down my face and rectify it.

But it's good that you, as an old minister, did not cooperate with me and try your best to run in the differences between Hanchen after this incident, but instead caused chaos for me, using the extreme strategy of a mad dog, regardless of the situation, to attack all Hanchen; It's like a leper dog, and it's all the best to flatter people!

Not to mention, in March this year, you said in the title that "arresting the fugitives is the first urgent task of the Qing Dynasty", which attracted the Manchurian nobles to admonish one after another, and the Han bureaucrats repeatedly slackened disputes on the ground on the grounds that the legislation was unfair, and for a while the court was disturbed, which made me irritable. What is the "number one priority"? Is it to catch the fugitives? Definitely not! A resolute arrest of fugitives can only lead to a series of serious consequences: local governments and residents are afraid of the fugitive law and blindly drive them away; Displaced people are desperate and often forced to rise up. For example, in the ten years of Shunzhi, the rain became a disaster, and Zhili was flooded everywhere, and all the people were displaced, helping the old and the young, and eating Shandong. But the law of the fugitives is strict, and they dare not take them in, and the displaced people cry and migrate, which is unbearable! Xuan Ye is still right, the method of escaping must be changed, and if it can't be changed now, it will be changed slowly, but it must not be turned a blind eye or a deaf ear!

What was the "first priority of the Qing Dynasty"? It is the harmonious coexistence between the Manchus and the Han! First of all, it is the harmony of the Manchu and Han ministers! And you, you have become a fetter to this priority, you know!! With my petty temper, if it weren't for the fairness of the law since you became the secretary of the Criminal Department, I would have removed you from my post a long time ago!

Alas! Liu Chang, when will you be obsessed with it?!

[1] Li Huaxi (1594~1669) was a native of Zhoucundian, Zichuan County (now Qianjin Village, Zhoucun District). In 1634 (the seventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty), he was awarded the title of Huzhou magistrate. Later, he was promoted to Tianjin Daoyin. At the time of a long drought and a catastrophe and the people fled abroad, he presided over the establishment of porridge factories in various places to provide relief to hundreds of thousands of victims in Hebei, Shandong, and Henan. Later, he was reappointed as the governor of Shaanxi, but before he arrived, the emperor decreed that he was appointed as the governor of the Yulin trilateral to take charge of the military affairs of the Western Expedition. After the Qing soldiers entered the Central Plains, he was appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and then transferred to the left attendant of the Ministry of Works. Soon he was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department, succeeding the crown prince. At that time, he played a special note, asking the imperial court to restore the court trial system and send compassionate officers to patrol prisons in various places. Soon after, on the grounds of his mother's old age, he resigned in the eleventh year of Shunzhi and returned to his hometown. There are more than 1,600 hectares of barren grain land in Shizhou Village, and the annual land endowment is shared by the local people, and the villagers bear a heavy burden. For this reason, Li Huaxi was exempted from the privilege of Chen Dufu. In order to revitalize the Zhoucun Market, he once prepared taxes for the Zhoucun Market and paid them on behalf of the people. And there is help for the disaster victims and the poor in the village. He was generous and hospitable, unkempt, talkative and humorous. He died in 1669 (the eighth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty). (To be continued......)
