Chapter 327: The Qing Dynasty Worn Through a Sieve (18)

The successive blows made Kangxi unable to hold it anymore, he couldn't sleep for six days in a row, every time he closed his eyes, it seemed that he could see Queen Hesheri crying silently at him, as if he could see the eighteenth elder brother opening his arms to hug him.

Although he imprisoned Yinren and was reluctant to see him, he couldn't help it after all, and told Liang Jiugong that he must pay attention to it, and he couldn't shorten Yinren's food and clothing.

He was afraid that Yinren would be deposed and degraded by those minions who were accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder.

The news of the deposed Yinren and the untimely death of the eighteenth elder brother was transmitted back to the capital.

Yin Yu sighed, his eighteenth brother still went in the end, although the imperial doctor made them mentally prepared, but he was still very sad when he really learned the news, that child was still so young.

As soon as the crown prince was abolished, the people in the court and the people were in turmoil, and everyone hoped that they could press the treasure and keep the glory and wealth for the rest of their lives.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, the prince was deposed, and the prince's powerful nurse Ling Pu was also finished.

The head of the Internal Affairs Office, who everyone was staring at, Kangxi handed it over to Yinxi three days later.

At least now, Kangxi trusts and relies on Yinxi, and he knows that this son can handle all this.

Yinxi became the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and many ministers secretly poked and poked to congratulate him, and everyone thought that this was a signal given by Kangxi.

Today Yinren can replace the princeling's position as the head of the internal affairs office, and tomorrow he can replace Yinren's position as the prince.

Everyone is convinced of this.

Seeing that Chaozhong suddenly changed the direction of the wind, Lin Dui felt infinite sadness in his heart, and the white-hot prelude to the nine sons to seize the heir was about to begin.

In the few days when Kangxi had not returned from resting in the palace, Yinzhen and Yinzhen in the capital encountered an incident.

A household servant in the capital actually took advantage of Kangxi's patrol to get a sum of money, but the money was not much.

The Criminal Department came over to ask the two masters.

When Yinxi found out, he wanted to demote the official and ask him to pay back three times the money.

However, Yinzhen demanded that the official be removed and exiled on the basis of three times the repayment, and that his two sons be demoted.

That official was not from the Eight Masters Party, Yinxi just went to their house to find out about the situation, and learned that it was the mother of the household servant who was sick and hung with ginseng, and he had no choice but to do so.

Yinxi has always believed in the benevolent rule of Confucianism, of course, this is also learned from Kangxi, although Kangxi is decisive and has an iron and bloody hand, but most of the time he still pursues the rule of benevolence.

He checked that this household servant had no history of greedy ink, and he was excusable, so he thought about letting him go.

But Yinzhen disagrees, he believes in the rule of law of the Legalists, he thinks that if he lets this household servant go now, there will be others to imitate him in the future, and no reason can be the reason for tolerating and greedy for ink.

No, Yinzhen and Yinzhen discussed this matter in the study, Lin Du was originally the hostess to send some tea to Yinzhen, but after listening to the heated discussion between the two, she didn't go in for a while.

The two of them were there to discuss the "Great Qing Law", and Lin Du was in a trance for a moment thinking that he had returned to the law firm.

Yinxi insisted that according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the household servant belonged to the scope of receiving money and not bending the law, and it was only embezzlement, and there was no bribery or embezzlement, so he should be dealt with lightly.

However, Yinzhen insisted that this kind of corruption should also be counted as a crime of embezzlement.

Yin Yu said: "Fourth brother, embezzling money and grain from the warehouse, for example, should be recovered, his crime is due to the loss, and it is still lenient to complete the money within the limit, and my dynasty also has regulations such as the reduction of stolen goods, so I think there is no need to be exiled or reinforced, and it is enough to ask for three times the return and then demote the official to set an example." ”

"Then tell the Criminal Department according to what the eighth brother said." Yinzhen knew that what Yinzhen cited was right, and he had nothing to refute, and he couldn't change the "Great Qing Law".

Lin Du listened to their discussion outside the door, the problem of the rule of officials in the Qing Dynasty has always been a big problem, Kangxi ruled the country with benevolence, and in the later period, the rule of officials has been more serious.

If the real Kangxi is followed by Yinxi, who also pursues the rule of benevolence, what will be the situation, and can the problem be solved in his hands?

Although Yinzhen treats his brothers too ruthlessly and cold-bloodedly, and can even be called ruthless, his iron-blooded wrist has indeed rectified the problem of official governance since Kangxi.

Lin Du also saw a flash of humanity in Yinzhen, who she had always feared, this person may not be a good brother, but he would be a good emperor who could implement reforms.

Later, Yinxi also asked people to send a lot of ginseng and silver money to the household waiter.

Yinxi may have the intention of wooing him, but it is also because of kindness.

Of course, because he was rich, Jiu Ye was a huge rich man in the Qing Dynasty, and his strong government background and flexible business acumen made his industry all over the country.

Yinxi often helps those poor literati, and also sends warmth to officials with poor family backgrounds, and he can send money and goods to others so easily, thanks to the ninth master.

On September 16, Kangxi and his entourage finally returned to the capital.

On the same day, he ordered to set up a felt curtain next to the emperor's horse courtyard for Yinren to live in. He also ordered the fourth son of the emperor to guard it with the eldest son of the emperor.

And Kangxi summoned all the ministers in the noon gate to announce the detention of the crown prince Yinren. He personally wrote a memorial text, and on the 18th, he said that he would sacrifice heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji. The deposed crown prince was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace.

He specially asked Yinren to work with the emperor's brothers to show Yinren the sacrificial text he wrote himself.

Yinren didn't look at it, and said disheartenedly: "My crown prince was given by the imperial father, and if the imperial father wants to abolish it, he will be abolished, so he will be exempted from suing the heavens." ”

Yinzhen and Yinzhen played this sentence to Kangxi.

Kangxi was so angry that he threw away all the folds and said angrily: "You don't have to play his words in the future." ”

The elder brothers were embarrassed to see Yinren, who had been favored in the past and was proud of the spring breeze, but now he was shackled and had a depressed face.

Of course, no one knows whether this sigh is sad or joyful or a joke.

Come out of Xian'an Palace and return to the Eight Masters' Mansion.

Yinxi thought of the shackles around Yinren's neck, and couldn't bear it in his heart, it happened to be the meeting of the Eight Masters, Yinxi and those brothers said: "Why does the second brother still have shackles around his neck now, Huang Ama won't ask for this, those people are too out of line." ”

Lin Du was on the side, she didn't expect Yinren to be upset, she thought that the Eight Masters Party had to celebrate.

The tenth master disagreed: "What if Huang Ama doesn't ask for it, he has lost his sacred heart now, and everyone in the palace is eager to step on it." ”

Yinyu listened to Yinyu's words: "Huang Ama has not issued an edict, so he really shouldn't shackle the second brother." I don't know what the eldest brother, the fourth brother and those people below think. ”
