The ministers saw that Yinren had gone, and they scattered like a swarm of bees to hide from the plague. Only Wang Luo was still lying on the ground, with old tears, seeing that Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi were about to retreat, he jumped up from the ground and shouted: "The surname is Zhang, the surname is Ma!" Long live you, the king will kneel and die here to see the emperor! ”

"Well, it's the king's senior!" Zhang Tingyu calmly, seeing that Wang Shan was trembling with excitement, he smiled faintly and said, "Why do you have to do this!" Long live the command, after the decree has been announced, the king will come in, and you go. ”

"Minister...... Command! Wang patted his robe, stood up, took off his crown and held it in his hand, and staggered into the Qianqing Gate. At this time, Tong Guowei, who had gone and returned, stopped Ma Qi, and said angrily:

"It seems that the emperor doesn't want to see me, you present this fold to the emperor, and say that this is Tong's last courtier." With that, he walked away without looking back.

After Tong Guowei walked stupidly, Zhang Tingyu paced over and glanced at Ma Qi. The two came to the princes together, and Zhang Tingyu said to Yinxiang: "There is a decree to ask you!" ”

"Ask!" Yinxiang had already expected that he would not be able to get rid of the "***" relationship, and said with a stalk on his neck, "Listen to the prince." Yinzhen next to him glared again, kicked his legs again, and blamed the old thirteen: "Yinxiang, don't be rude!" ”

Zhang Tingyu pouted to Ma Qi Nunu and signaled to ask Ma Qi to ask questions on behalf of the emperor, Ma Qi was not as good as Zhang Xiangyuan, and asked from the edges and corners:

"The case of Fenghe Governor was personally inquired into by the emperor. It was originally said that the Ministry of Communications punished severely, but later only sent a bad match, and at that time the Criminal Department was presided over by you - the emperor asked you: Was it your idea, or was someone instigated? ”

Yinxiang was stunned, obviously didn't expect to ask this, and hurriedly replied: "Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is in custody, and he knows this matter." When dealing with Feng, I investigated and dealt with the case of Ren Bo'an in the Ministry of Officials, and Ma Zhongtang could testify. ”

Marzi rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, and confirmed:

"Please Zhang Zhongtang to play on his behalf, at that time, the thirteenth elder brother was indeed investigating the case of Ren Bo'an in the Ministry of Officials."

Zhang Tingyu nodded, and Ma Qi asked abruptly: "The emperor asked you, how did Liu Guiren die, do you know?" Be truthful! ”

The princes were shocked when they heard this, and the relationship between Liu Guiren and Yinren vaguely heard some rumors, and everything was in the dark. Liu Guiren later hanged himself on a crooked-necked willow tree in Xinzheku, it is said that he was strangled to death and then hung up, could it be that this "desperate San Lang" was the prince of Bao, and he killed Liu Guiren in vain? I couldn't help but open my ears.

"Didn't you say that a willow tree with a crooked neck killed her?" Yinxiang prevaricated.

"Can Gong Yanagi kill people?"

"This, this ......" Yinxiang's face turned pale, and he pretended to be confused, "Who is Liu Guiren, I have never seen it...... How do I know if Miyanagi can kill someone? Long live Mingxun, please! ”

Ma Qi opened his mouth and stammered, it was not good to ask about this matter in detail, so he had to wave his hand and said: "Everyone, please get up, long live the purpose, I will not see you again today." Thirteenth Master, Zhang Zhongtang and I are just asking questions, the emperor asked you to stop the mission, go back to the house and think about it behind closed doors, there must be a will when you turn back. Please come back! ”

Yinxiang jumped up and shouted, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu naturally didn't dare to provoke this Leng Touqing again, and quietly entered the Qianqing Palace and went back to the emperor.

"Returned," Kangxi was sitting on the kang in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, go over there and sit with Fang Bao." Lao Wang is fighting with Mr. Fang. Ma Qi handed Tong Guowei's fold up, Zhang Tingyu explained the situation of asking Yinxiang one by one, Kangxi sighed and said:

"The old thirteen are not bad, they can do things, but they lack scheming and are easy to be used as guns. Hengchen's intended purpose: Yinxiang entered the Zongren Mansion, with high walls and deep courtyards, studied hard, and was not allowed to contact outsiders. ”

"This ......" Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi wanted to say.

"Needless to say, I know it in my heart." Kangxi said while looking at Tong Guowei's excerpt, "This is for his good." As for Tong Guowei, the situation is different. Over the years, he has been calling for wind and rain everywhere with Alinga, Wang Hongxu, and Yuxu, and the bastard, creating momentum, and insisting on forcing me to establish the eighth prince as the prince, and the wolf will be wild, obvious! Look, just when I abolished the crown prince again, this guy who ate the imperial court in vain and added the minister of the study in vain actually went to such an excerpt again, adding fuel to the fire——"

The more Kangxi spoke, the more angry he became, and he threw the fold in his hand to the ground. Zhang Tingyu picked it up and looked at it, and there were a few sentences in the middle where Kangxi pinched his finger marks with his fingernails:

The emperor is shrewd, no one in the world knows about it, and there is no mistake. This matter has a lot to do with the Holy Bow

Big, if it is easy to deal with in the future, pray for quick judgment; or it may be difficult to deal with it in the future, and pray for wisdom. consider

After the implementation of the good......

Zhang Tingyu looked at it and thought about it, and became more and more surprised in his heart: This is "difficult to measure" and "easy to measure", isn't it clear that Kangxi wants to get rid of Yinren?

"Rioters and thieves have existed since ancient times," Kangxi angrily slapped the case, "But Tong Guowei, as a relative and minister of the study, and Tong Jia's family is the emperor of Mu, but he advocates chaos and encourages people's hearts, which is tolerable or unbearable!" He turned around and shouted, "Li Dequan! ”

"The minions are here!" Li Dequan came out from behind the scenes.

"Decree the Ministry of Internal Affairs, immediately remove Tong Guowei's top flower feather, lock up the prison of the Criminal Department, and hand it over to the Ministry of Affairs!"

"Piercing!" Li Dequan went down.

"Lao Wang," Kangxi was still unsatisfied, "I don't blame you, you are loyal to protect the prince, I only wish the prince is good." You and Tong Guowei are two different things, he is advocating chaos and you are seeking stability. In my life, I have no regrets, only this Yinren, who has hurt him the most since I was a child, and pity his mother...... I went to the Nine Springs, how could I see the Empress Dowager and the Empress! He wiped away a handful of tears and said, "It seems that this prince is not good, and he can't be blamed for everything." The princes are in charge of the Eight Banners, build their own houses, and each has its own power; If the prince wants to keep his position, he can't do without his own people, which will inevitably form a party dispute between the prince and the prince. ”

"Hooray, hooray!" Lao Wang knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, "It turns out that the saint is also bitter in his heart, and the sinner understands." If you want the prince not to form a party, unless you abolish the system of eight banners of kings. But shaking the Eight Banners system is tantamount to disintegrating the main body of the Manchu people and removing the 'ancestral family law', how easy it is to say! ”

For a moment the crowd was speechless. The old king, who fought to death, hit the nail on the head: the prince was deposed for forming a party, and if he was reset, he was still abolished for forming a party, which is indeed intriguing.

"Therefore," Kangxi said resolutely, "according to the lesson of the crown prince to establish and abolish again, I have established a great plan: from now on, I will not talk about the establishment of the prince - until the day I die, I will know!" ”

The ministers couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the prince system has been followed for thousands of years since the Han and Tang dynasties, and it has never been interrupted. If you don't set up a prince until you die, who will succeed you? However, after so many things, no one dares to force it anymore. Seeing that no one spoke, Kangxi relaxed his face first and said with a smile:

"Zhang Tingyu and Wang Liang take the order!"

Zhang Tingyu and Wang Luo were slightly stunned, and knelt down together and sang in unison: "Slave leader!" ”

"Promote Zhang Tingyu to be a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and add a top product! Wang Liang was dismissed from the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and replaced the university scholar Tong Guowei into the study. Mr. Fang, let's go and draw up the purpose! ”

Zhang Tingyu and Wang Luo glanced at each other, not knowing whether to thank or say thanks. The two of them looked at the old emperor sitting above blankly for a while, it was not good to worship, and it was not good not to worship.

After the crown prince Yinren was reinstated for his crime and confined in Xian'an Palace again, Tong Guowei, the backstage of the "Eight Masters Party", because he was a relative, was lightly dismissed by the ministry, and he paid tribute to the official in advance and retired at home. It turned out that he had sponsored Yinxi, and the sons of Mingzhu, who were reprimanded, died one after another; Yaqibu, a subordinate of Yinzhi, and Meng Guangzu, a subordinate of Yinzhi, who participated in the battle of the prince, were all sentenced for their crimes. But it can't be said that it has been peaceful since then, a few years later, Kangxi's most trusted imperial guard Zhu Tianbao asked for the restoration of Yinren as the crown prince, Kangxi called him to him and asked:

"How do you know that you will go against the will?"

Zhu Tianbao replied:

"The minister's father, the minister's father, the minister's father ordered the minister's words."

Kangxi said viciously:

"This disloyal and unfilial person is also!"

Zhu Tianbao was also killed because of this. In such a killing and annoyance, Kangxi's body is getting worse and worse. By fifty-four years, his right hand could no longer write. All the edicts relied on Zhang Tingyu and Fang Bao, the two prime ministers. As an emperor, he couldn't do anything without a hand, so he had to barely grasp the pen with his left hand. In the winter of October, he sent an edict to the minister of the study:

I can't write with my right hand, so I use my left hand to hold a pen to answer and fold, so as not to leak it.

By the fifty-sixth year, although Kangxi still patrolled Jinggi from time to time, he also occasionally went to the Saiwai Patrol, he said that when he went to the Saiwai grassland, he rode a horse and pulled a bow, and suddenly felt happy and rejuvenated. In fact, it is just self-comfort, and everyone can see that the emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker. In November of this winter, Kangxi reminisced about the past, couldn't sleep at night, and dictated an edict to Zhang Tingyu, which was sorted out and polished by Zhang Tingyu to form a text. The edict said:

The rule of the emperor must be based on respecting the heavens and the ancestors. The heart of the world is the heart, and the benefits of the four seas are the heart

Benefit, the rule is not chaotic, the state is not in danger, and the dream is conscientious, so the picture is long-term. I am eight-year-old and practiced,

He has been in office for more than 50 years, and he is nearly seventy years old this year. When twenty years are old, I dare not count backwards to thirty. Thirty years

, do not dare to reverse the count to forty. The spirit of Lai Zongshe, now in 57 years, is beyond the reach of Liangde. tooth

Dengshou, there are many children and grandchildren. The world is harmonious, and the four seas are peaceful. Although he did not dare to say that the family gave people enough, the customs were easy to change

, and want to make the people safe, the heart of things, consistent. Exhausting thoughts, wasting energy, and not working hard

Do everything you can. The ancient emperor lived forever, and the scholars ridiculed every time. I don't know what is going on in the world, and I can't worry about it

Also. People can be ministers, can stop, old and returning, still have to hold their children and grandchildren, and travel comfortably

。 The emperor's shoulders have nothing to blame, Shun is dead, Yu is dead, and he is not at ease, and he will stop in the end. Hong Fan

Five blessings, finally the end of the test, with the longevity test is rare. Yilian Liuyao is not as good as the monarch, and the monarch has no retreat

land also. How much more comfortable it is to be with your subjects? I have been studying since I was a child, seeking governance. When the year wins, save the strong

Pick up. Flattening the three feudatories, Suiji Mobei, all of them were single-mindedly planned, and no one was killed in vain. Treasury money

, not to go out to help the hungry, did not dare to spend in vain. Patrol the palace, do not pick. When you are young, you know the sound and lust when you are young,

It is far away, and fortunately it is rough and quiet. This spring is quite dizzy and dizzy, and the shape is gradually weakening. Outside the line of enclosure, water and soil

Better, slightly healthier, riding and shooting every day, and not tired...... Relapse of dizziness and difficulty. If one

From time to time, I don't know my heartfelt songs. The common sense of the deceased should be when it is clear and cool, and the thoughts of life should be one

For confiding, it is fast for the ear. In the past, every Yun Emperor should give an outline, and he didn't have to take care of the details. I don't mean it,

If you are not careful, you will be worried; If you don't think carefully, it will be a hundred years of trouble. I've never done anything

Fine, don't be cautious. However, the years are declining, and I am only afraid that 57 years of anxiety and diligence will be at the end

Ear. Aren't you thinking about the big things of the reserve? But the power of the world is often unified in one, and the artifact is the most important, and it is obtained for the world

People are in great difficulty, and they are rolling up because they are dying of old age. If the ministers and workers can embody the heart, then the final work of the examination will be completed

Carry on. I hereby summon all the sons and the ministers to speak in detail. He will leave an edict in the future, and prepare for this.

This simple and unpretentious "edict" is not only a high summary and summary of Kangxi's life, but also the most unmistakable embodiment of Zhang Tingyu's style and style of life as an important minister of the imperial court. In the first half of the "Edict", the angular description of the Son of Heaven who ascended the throne as a young man of Kangxi, in order to consolidate the imperial power of the grand strategy and "save the strong and decide", he except for Aobai, Ping Sanfeud, and Mobei, which is indeed a prominent contribution. However, in his later years, due to the princes' refusal to hand over power due to the cannibalism of the prince's brothers and Kangxi's attachment to the throne, the root of the Qing Empire's decline from prosperity to decline, from prosperity to decline. It is impossible for Zhang Tingyu, who is at the peak of power and the center of the whirlpool, not to see this. However, he still had to find various reasons for Kangxi's refusal to abdicate against his will. This is Zhang Hengchen's clever "outer circle" technique.

Could it be that the old emperor, who is old, weak, and has a difficult walk, boiled up the old prince with a heartache and re-established it, and boiled the princes like a group of mad dogs coveting the throne and "fighting in the nest", and then "cleaning up" - the detention of the prisoners and the detention of the prisoners is really "it is very difficult to win people for the world"? Of course, Zhang Tingyu knew that this was an excuse for the "power-loving people" and the old emperor who refused to let go until the death of the previous dynasties and the old emperor to prevaricate and ridicule the future generations. Tang Xuanzong abdicated, and he still had to be the emperor; Wu Zetian killed his own flesh and blood, and killed thousands of relatives and ministers of the Tang family, all for her to listen to the government and continue to be the emperor. Zhang Tingyu, as a courtier, condescended to the king, and he couldn't help but whitewash Kangxi against his will, otherwise, he would not have died well, let alone continue to the next dynasty as a minister.

In fact, the emperors in history who refused to let go did not end well in the end. Kangxi is no exception!

In the last few years of Kangxi's last few years, Qinghai-Tibet fought for many years. The old fourteenth Yinyu was appointed as the general of Fuyuan and has been fighting against the Qinghai-Tibet rebels. In May of the 60th year, Yinyu moved to Ganzhou. The fourth Yinzhen's doorman, Nian Qianyao, was promoted to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he was in power; Adjutant General Yue Zhongqi was also awarded the title of Governor of Sichuan. After more than ten years of killing the prince, there are only two siblings, the fourth and fourteenth, who have the power to compete for the position of the crown prince.

And Yinyu is the old eight Yinyu's person, so Yinyu has always dreamed of the emperor in a yellow robe.
