The seventh episode, the three ministers were killed and worshiped the Golden Palace

On the morning of the second day, as soon as Kangxi arrived at Qianqingmen, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, and Wang Jieshu looked panicked, leading Kubilong and Suke Saha to kneel under the Danqi, but they did not see Ao. The number of guards guarding the door has doubled, and they all have a murderous look on their faces. At that time, the sun was rising, and the breeze was blowing, and it seemed very quiet.

The ministers invited Sheng'an, and Kupilon stammered: "Holy Lord, I don't know if the three ministers of Sunahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian can be read by the Holy Lord?" Kangxi said: "I read it last night, and I stayed in it." ”

"Stay" means that it is not issued and does not directly express its attitude. When Su Malagu read this piece for Kangxi at night, he was very appreciative of the prohibition of enclosing people's land. However, when the incident of Suke Saha happened during the day, he had an extra mind: This Wang Denglian is Suke Saha's protégé, will he collude to make a mystery? So although he drew many circles with a red brush, when Su Malagu advocated "Mingfa", he said: "Stay and see, don't worry." ”

Now seeing that the auxiliary ministers attach great importance to this issue, Kangxi felt a little surprised, so he asked: "Since I ascended the throne, I have repeatedly ordered the ban on enclosures to be stopped, although it is not completely banned, but it will not be so serious, right?" ”

Ji Bilong obviously didn't expect Kangxi to answer like this at all, he was slightly stunned, and said fluently: "Long live the holy jian, the slave also thinks that Sunahai and the other three are alarmist and deliberately disrupt the government, and there is no culpability!" ”

This is too bizarre, how can this be regarded as "deliberate rebellion"? Kangxi was suspicious in his heart, and when he saw that Suke Saha was silent, he asked, "Suke Saha, what do you think?" Su Ke Saha touched Kangxi's nail yesterday, knowing his "true attitude", he didn't want to speak, but now when he asked his head, he had to kowtow and say: "Wang Denglian is the protégé of the minister-" Just half a sentence, suddenly heard a noise outside the hall, and there was a loud footsteps in the middle, and when I heard it, I knew that it was Ao Bai.

It was Ao Bai who came, and his outfit today was particularly spiritual, with a new robe of nine pythons and five claws, a coat of cranes, a pair of horseshoe sleeves turned high, revealing a snow-white lining, and the top of the coral dragged Cui Sensen's double-eyed peacock feathers, swaying and swaying as if no one was around. Just as he was about to enter the hall, he saw the soldier Tai Bitu Gong Su Hu standing outside the door, holding a scroll of red clay fire paint capped in his hand, no need to ask, this is the six-hundred-mile emergency military report that has just arrived, so he stopped and asked: "What do you have to do here?" ”

Tai Bitu smiled all over his face, stepped forward lightly, and said in a low voice: "Please ask Lord Zhongtang Jin An!" ”

"Up!" Ao Bai's right hand was stretched out, and his voice was so loud that everyone in the hall could hear it: "What are you holding in your hand?" Tai Bitu lifted the Huai Chinese book slightly up and replied, "Wu Sangui Wang Ye's recital." ”

Ao Bai was about to say more, but he heard Kangxi in the hall ask loudly: "Who is making noise outside the hall?" ”

Ao Bai shook his horseshoe sleeves with both hands, and said as he stepped into the temple: "Ao Bai, please Saint Ann!" A Qian'er went down, and without waiting for Kangxi to speak, he got up, "The minister is old, let the minister wait for him!" ”

Kangxi smiled and said, "Naturally, you can—Suke Saha, Kubilong, and Jieshu, you guys should also get up." As he spoke, he turned his face to ask Aobai: "Sunahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian's recital, you must have read it?" ”

Ao Bai raised his head slightly, raised his hand without humility or arrogance, and replied: "The minister has read it." Sunahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian, as the country's feudal officials, did not follow the holy teachings, bullied the king, and had no courtesy, and were beheaded according to the law! I don't know why the Holy One left this great rebellion in the middle of it? ”

The words were loud and neat, and the atmosphere was extremely strong, and everyone in the hall looked at each other. Kangxi couldn't help but change color on his face, gasped for air, and said: "Although this Ao Bai Su Ri is rude, it is not as presumptuous as today, it must be thinking that Sony is critically ill, and he is more and more fearless." There was a little displeasure in my heart. Looking at the guards on the left and right, except for Nemo and Mu Lima, who are a little familiar, they don't know anything else, and Xiao Weizi is not in front of him, thinking about the general mercy of the Yama Hall outside the hall, I can't help but shudder.

Kangxi Qiang suppressed the panic in his heart, calmed down and said: "The Manchu and Han bannermen have been living in harmony for more than 20 years, and there is no estrangement. Let them leave their homeland for no reason, I'm afraid it can't be regarded as good governance, right? Although what Sunahai said was untrue, I looked at its original meaning, but it was sincere. ”

Ao Bai saw that Kangxi Kankan was quite reasonable, he was shocked in his heart, looked down and thought about it and said: "The Manchu and Han miscellaneous places have all been assimilated by the Han people, and the simple system of my ancestors and ancestors has been lost!" ”

Before Kangxi could reply, Suke Saha, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but sneer and said: "May I ask Ao Baigong, aren't the Han people my people?" You have the ancestral legal system in your eyes, why do you connive at your family to rob Han girls as maids, and provoke the Rehe Banner civil arms fight? As soon as his voice fell, Kangxi immediately asked sharply: "Is this like words?" ”

The monarch and the ministers discussed with each other, and when it came to this part, Ao Bai should have immediately kowtowed and pleaded guilty. But before he went to court, he had already found out in advance that Sony was in a dying state and was in danger, so he was not afraid, and proudly raised his head and replied: "It's not like that." The three ministers of Sunahai are vain and deceive the king, and the sin is unforgivable! If the flags were divided and the borders were guarded earlier, how could villains like Sukh Saha be allowed to create rumors and harm their ministers! ”

Discussion came and went, and one thing became two things. Kangxi was afraid that there would be more branches in the fight again, so he said: "Today, let's discuss the three of Sunahai, and I can find out and deal with the rest." At this time, Ao Bai was furious because of Suke Saha's complaint, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, so he raised his eyebrows and shouted in the palace: "The crime of bullying the king should have been executed by Ling Chi." Today, according to the beheading and abandonment of the city, it has been lightly punished, the emperor is so hesitant, why should he warn future generations? ”

Kangxi Tie blushed, sat on the chair and was silent. Sukh Saha and Ao Bai glanced at each other, their eyes like swords and swords, and sparks immediately burst out! After a stalemate for a moment, Kangxi saw that Wang Jieshu had never said a word, so he asked: "Jieshu, what do you say should be done with this matter?" And Suppilon, what about you? ”

Jie Shu timidly looked at Ao Bai with a fierce face, pretending to bow his head in thought, but still bowed his head and remained silent. Kangxi swept his gaze to Kubilon again. Ji Bilong squeezed his eyes, knelt down and played: "The slave thinks that he has to do what Ao Zhongtang has to do. After speaking, he sighed slightly, and Jie Shu continued: "The same is true of the minister's will. ”

Ao Bai Gege laughed twice, paced up to Sukh Saha, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Suke Saha, don't you feel sorry for your protégé Wang Denglian?" Hearing this, Su Ke Saha shuddered, looked up at Kangxi, who was sitting precariously, and sighed for a long time: "Alas, ......"

This can be regarded as an expression of attitude, Ao Bai was very satisfied, turned to Kangxi, and said: "Your Majesty, since the ministers see the same, please ask the emperor to decree!" ”

Kangxi tightened his lips, stubbornly held his head high, still silent, and his two hands holding the chair trembled slightly. Seeing that Kangxi didn't answer, Ao Bai smiled and said: "Oh, I'm confused, it must be that the emperor is young and shallow, and he can't draft the edict himself." In this case, the minister had no choice but to do it for him. After speaking, he strode close to the royal table, lifted the imperial pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and rustled for a while, and an edict was considered a draft. He preached aloud: "Holy decree: Sunahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian do not respect the orders of the superiors, and they will be beheaded immediately, and they will be beheaded immediately!" He snapped the paper together with both hands and shouted outside the hall: "Tai Bi Tu, Tai Bi Tu Shilang!" Tabito entered the main hall in response. Ao Bai stuffed the edict to Tai Bitu and said: "Take it and pay it to the Criminal Department, and handle it according to the order." After speaking, he turned to Kangxi and smiled: "Forgive the old minister for being rude!" This is also a last resort. But the emperor doesn't have to be playful all the time, he should also read some books, and the minister has already found a master for the emperor, his name is Jishi. Tomorrow I will call him to the study. ”

"It's Jishi again! If only it could really help the world! Kangxi didn't wait for him to finish, Huo Di stood up, glanced at the ministers standing there angrily, and said with a sneer: "I have become Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, what more master do I need!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Zhang Wanqiang and several other eunuchs also left the Qianqing Palace in a hurry.

The statues of Jieshu, Suppilon, and Sukh Saha had a nightmare, and were stunned by Aobai's arrogant actions. But as if nothing happened, he pinched the joints of his hands one after another.

Because the holy decree did not specify "dismissal", the three convicts - Sunahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian all came to the execution ground with a second-grade crown, a robe with nine pythons and five claws, and a brocade rooster uniform. Since the killing of Wen Tianxiang at the end of the Song Dynasty, it is the first time that a minister has been killed like this. How did the common people know that this was an oversight of the excitement of worship. But they all knew that the people who were beheaded like this were loyal ministers, and there was an indescribable discomfort in their hearts.

The banquet in the official hall was almost over. Sunahai smiled and said to Zhu Changzuo: "Brother Yunmen, I didn't expect this to be on when I wrote the excerpt, right?" There's no need to be so depressed. Wang Denglian, who was sitting next to him, got up suddenly, smashed the wine glass with a "snap", looked up to the sky and laughed: "I don't turn blood, I don't have teeth, I wish there was a Yama Palace, I am a ghost, I am a demon for the community, I am the main striker...... Haha......" He turned to Suna Hai and said, "Nahai, second brother Yunmen, let's get on the road!" ”

The three of them stood up, but saw Sukh Saha squeezing in with the servants, and walked straight to the official hall. When Sunahai saw that it was him, he took a step forward and said, "Zhongtang, you still come to see us at this time!" Wang Denglian was a protégé of Suke Saha, and when he saw him here, his pride suddenly decreased, and he shed tears: "It's not a pity to live or die...... Septuagenarian mother, please thank the teacher......" said and bowed down, and was held by Sukh Saha. His stomach was full of words, but he couldn't say it, only nodded with tears. Zhu Changzuo stepped forward and asked with tears in his eyes: "Lord Zhongtang, don't you know that we are wronged ......" Before saying this, Sunahai shouted: "Life and death, life!" Brother Yunmen, why did he do this! ”

Suke Saha's face was pale, he let out a long sigh, and forced a smile to himself: "The brother is incompetent, and he has no strength to return to heaven, which has caused the three benevolent brothers to suffer such a grievance, and they are extremely ashamed!" He poured three glasses of wine with trembling hands, and offered them one by one: "A glass of sake, talk about it, the night is long, and the wind and cold can be ......."

A lieutenant walked in, greeted the three prisoners and Suke Saha respectively, and said, "Rank lord, the lord of the prison and beheader has a good feeling: the hour is coming, and the three masters will make a long story short, and they will ascend to heaven." The official office is also involuntarily on this errand, and it has been delayed for a long time, and I can't afford to bear the guilt. ”

When the time of farewell finally came, Sukh Saha knelt down to see the three of them off. The three Sunahai also knelt down and returned the salute.

It was already noon, and Wu Zhengzhi, the servant of the prison and punishment department, sat on the prison beheading seat nervously, refusing to give an order. He knew that this errand was difficult, and the difficulty was that he was indeed a loyal minister, and the possibility of overturning the case in the future was extremely great, so he grinded hard. One is to wait to see if there is a future life left under the knife; The second is to let the people know even if there is no posterity, which is really not his original wish surnamed Wu. It wasn't until Sukh Saha came to sacrifice that he knew that the fate of the imperial court was out of sight.

At this time, he raised his face and looked at the sky, but at some point the wind blew, the yellow sand and dust were raised, and the fog could only see the sun hanging in the sky like a lifeless ball, and he could not help sighing: "Alas, people complain about the heavens! But he flicked his sleeve lightly and commanded: "Execution!" ”
