CHAPTER IX

Kangxi has issued an edict to pass the throne to Yinren, and even the emperor's jade seal has been delivered as soon as possible - it was awarded and received in the Taihe Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info however, the real ceremony has not yet taken place. Worship the heavens, worship the ancestors, go to the Fengxian Palace, Shouhuang Palace, and so on. To be the emperor, although it is an inner Zen, there must be a ceremony, and after the transfer of the throne, the year name will not be announced until next year, and the Yuan will be changed to Emperor Xuantong - meaning that Kangxi will announce his intention to rule the world.

But at the moment, the situation is still quite unclear. Kangxi has been the emperor for so many years, even if he becomes the emperor, he can't ignore his opinion. No one can guarantee that the emperor will not jump out to train the government, as for Yinren, the new emperor, although he has been cultivated as a prince for decades, the two wasted princes have already dealt with the team he originally cultivated.

Now this is barely the beginning of the new emperor - although strictly speaking, before the inner Zen/worship to the sky/ancestor worship, he is still a little short of the emperor, but no one will touch the mold of the new emperor, anyway, Kangxi has a holy decree, Yinren has a jade seal - he is going to take Xungui to open the knife, like Li Guangdi, a person like Li Guangdi, naturally the first time to protect himself.

It's a pity that Li Guangdi is more tactful in doing things, but it doesn't mean that others are like this. There are even those who wait for the pole to tie up with the new emperor, and they will naturally follow Yinren's meaning.

"Corruption, selling officials, and bullying the monarch are all capital crimes, and several lives have been caused; When it comes to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it is enough to copy and behead; What's more, there is another great crime of rebellion, and this kind of impeachment still needs to be investigated. Only after it is verified can we talk about how to deal with it, but it is not easy to verify the crime of great rebellion, but the murder case can be talked about first...... We can only speak of sin according to the law. It's just that Ning, Rong Ergong is the credit of entering the customs from the dragon after all, but I am afraid that the master will still be gracious, grace will come out from above, the punishment will be determined by the law, and the Jia family should be convicted according to the law, but how to deal with it depends on what you mean, master. ”

This kind of eight-sided light has no idea, which is quite tactful. For example, the chief scholar of Manchuria, such as Hubu Shangshu Maqi, said it very politely.

"The slave disagrees." The university scholar cleared his throat, "The Criminal Department has investigated solidly, there are witnesses and physical evidence, and there are a total of twenty-two cases involving the Rongning Erfu family; It can be summed up as four items: bribery, selling officials, hegemony of money, and murder. A few days ago, there was an excerpt of the impeachment of the Jia family, and the charges were counted: Jia Zhen received 500,000 taels of silver from porcelain, silk, jade, and gold workshops in various places; His son Jia Rong sealed the front of the palace, and he also had his hands up and down; As for Jia Amnesty, there were more than 100,000 taels in her early years, and she Jia Amnesty occupied the people's wealth, and she forced the good people to death with a few fans, which is also verifiable; and Jia Jing, who has resigned, is also uneasy in the Taoist temple, and actually wants to meddle in the personnel of Jining County; Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Labor, used to bribe and sell official property, although it was a subordinate who cheated, he could not escape the blame, and there was even more corruption and perversion of the law...... It seems that such a crime is said to be the heir of the Guogong, that is, the Guogong himself, and if he commits this crime, he will also be dealt with according to the law. ”

Yinren nodded and said, "It's still Ma Qi who understands." In fact, these crimes have been verified and correct, and the ministry has already written excerpts on the law. It's just that there are still things that are difficult to investigate thoroughly in the ministry, and this is a big case...... I also looked through the rumors of the imperial history of the Inspectorate, and remembered that there was another important thing, when the palace family banquet around the year of the emperor Ama was born, he said that he wanted to rebuild the history of the Ming Dynasty, but then he didn't mention it, but Jia Zhen wrote to his family in August to visit Jiangnan, which is obviously an invitation to flatter! He, a general of Sanpin who has no errands, how can he know Huang Ama's casual words in the palace? must have bought off the harem eunuchs to listen to the emperor's likes and dislikes...... Foul!!! ”

"The Inspectorate said that he searched for the books of the previous dynasty and plotted against him, but the Jia family did not dare. In fact, bribery, selling officials, seizing people's property, and killing people are all secondary, and the important crime committed by the Jia family is still in the harem, and leaking the news of the palace is a big crime. ”

"I plan to issue an edict to discuss the crime, and by the way, I will send someone to check the Jia family's property...... It happens that Rongning Second Mansion is located in the south of the city, and it is a good place to build a pagoda. If there are those sinners who should have been sent to Heilongjiang and enslaved by the armored people, they will be directly sent to the national teacher as slaves in the face of the two deceased princes, so that they will not have the pain of migration and be spared from a difficulty, so as to demonstrate my virtue of good life, and I can build a pagoda as soon as possible and pray for the blessing of the world......"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Yinren's will was in the hands of the living Buddha Gelejiba within a moment or three. The money that had been prepared for a long time went straight to drink the guards, mobilized the soldiers, and met the captain, while ordering the school officer to go to the south of the city to surround the Ningrong Street first, he himself put the incense case, and after receiving the will, he drank tea with the eunuch in charge of the study for a while, and then set up the pomp of his living Buddha, and ran in a sedan chair with the lama and officials to Ningguo Mansion to announce the decree.

Ningrong Street is a town in the south of the capital, near the water source of the old Zhuangzi. It is a spiritual place that says that the capital is also the capital, and that the suburbs are also the suburbs. Because in the past, the mansion of Ningguo Gong and Rongguo Gong was located, and there were many villagers gathered, so it got the title of Ningrong Street. It's just that at this time, Ningrong Street has no trace of the prosperity of the street market in the past, and the people are prosperous - the Manchurian masters don't have such a thing as military discipline, which makes the Ningrong and Rong mansions cry incessantly.

There are those who are surrounded from afar by the fools of the idle villages, watching the excitement or laughing at the wealth and decay, and the ugliness of the official eunuchs and losers, etc., although the living Buddha does not care, he has already let the soldiers come forward to deal with it. He himself sat on the jade bowl given by Kangxi to the living Buddha, and took the lama eunuch soldiers along the red lacquer plaque of "Building Ningguo Mansion", and entered the gate of Ningguo Mansion.

At this time, the gate was full of gloom, and the two families of the Jia family had already heard the news. Jia Zhen, the patriarch of Jiafu, Jia Jing, the old lady of Ningfu, Jia Yu, the lord of Rongfu, Jia Zheng, the brother of Jia Yu, led Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Baoyu, Jia Fun, Jia Huan and other men with or without positions were already overwhelmed and fell to their knees. A few under-crowned ones were kneeling beside them. The older ones were like ashes, and the younger ones were already weeping.

Although Jia Yu is neither the patriarch nor the first man, he is only the head of the crowd in terms of official position, and he is the first to kneel and cry: "The criminal minister Jia Yu, the leader Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Lian...... Welcome to the Living Buddha. ”

Zhao Kun nodded and motioned to the great eunuch who came with him. The latter patted the grapefruit, stood to the south, and stepped forward to preach: "There is a will, the men of Jiafu kneel to listen to the decree!" ”

"Servants and others listen to the oracle!"

The eunuch took out the decree from his sleeve with an expressionless face, unfolded the edict, and began to read it dryly.

"Hereditary first-class Fenwu general Jia Yu, hereditary third-class mighty general Jia Zhen, etc.; perverse, greedy and shameless, exploiting the people, cruelty to the good people, it is difficult to see the law, and not to follow the law; The party members in his clan even bribed the harem, and used the words and deeds of non-human ministers to the court, which hurt the emperor's wisdom and rebelled against me, and the people and gods were angry; I inherit the family law of my ancestors, and I must be severely punished by the law of the country. Today, he is exempt from the death of the lord, and the national teacher leads the domain, and the infantry army leads the yamen, and checks the Ningguo Mansion, the family property and family members of the Rongguo Mansion...... The relatives of the mortal clan, see the decree and take them into custody first, wait to find out the family property, clarify the rest of the party, and discuss the crime together, Qin this! ”

Jia pardon Jia Zheng and the others have already become frost-beaten and wilted, but they have to follow the system and kowtow again, "Slaves are guilty, respect obeys the court, and slaves are thankful." ”

"What else do you have to say?"

"The sinner begged the lord to leave, and the slave met the saint and pleaded guilty."

The big eunuch's eyelids drooped slightly, his face was wooden, and a smile appeared on it: "I can play it for me, but whether I see it or not, it is all in the Sacred Heart." However, the gentleman's grace is unbearable, the emperor is like heaven and benevolence, and no one can match it in ancient times. The first one is to be grateful for kindness, and not to be resentful. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Kun waved his hand, and the soldiers divided into several teams like hungry tigers running wolves, and rushed into the inner courtyard of Ning Rong's two mansions. smashed the door and broke the house, turned over the boxes and cabinets. Suddenly, chickens flew and dogs jumped, rabbits rolled and eagles barked, and the sound of howling immediately came from the courtyard wall of the inner house.

It is said that the female dependents of this large family are all in the boudoir for a long time and cannot go out to see people, so it is naturally inconvenient for outsiders to visit. However, it is another matter to raid the door full of officials. But it's just a matter of strict guarding, keeping the last half of decency. Zhao Kun also no longer paid attention to the inspection affairs here, gave a few words, and went to drink tea while saying. Seeing that it was already close to dusk, and the inventory was already far away, he couldn't help frowning.

However, the lamas beside him were quite clever, and one of them had already come up and whispered to the living Buddha: "Buddha, the two mansions of Ningrong and the other clans listen to Xuan's daughters, a total of three hundred and thirty-nine people. There are four unmarried daughters of the Jia family, and the Jia family's maiden name is Yuanchun, Yingchun, Tanchun, and cherishing spring. In addition, there are several relatives in the house, such as the name of the Li family, the name of the Qin family, etc., all of whom are beautiful. In addition, there are 39 deacons and maids in each room in the house. There were 127 maids waiting in each room in the house. eighteen opera children; There are nine female nuns, and one Taoist aunt is ......"

"Just you kid is smart." Zhao Kun patted him on the shoulder quite frivolously, "You go to the men in Jiafu and find me something." ”

"By the Buddha's orders alone."

"The one named Jia Baoyu has a piece of psychic jade hanging around his neck, and he slipped it over for me. Buddha, I don't have the patience to wait for them to take stock of the property and make a booklet. After taking the jade, the Buddha wants to go back to the palace! ”

The red-clothed lama hurriedly replied yes, and immediately took action to offer the psychic jade. Zhao Kun put Baoyu in his sleeve, and then drove people away.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

A few days later, there was news in the court that Dali Temple condemned the Jia family with the crime of "filling the family property and mansion", "the first offender was sentenced to Ling Chi", "the male over the age of 12 was imprisoned in the autumn decision, and the age of 12 was filled as a palace eunuch", "the female dependents were all sent to Heilongjiang to be slaved by the armor-clad people, and they could not commit suicide", only saying that it was hopeless to say 120,000.

The result of this discussion was naturally presented to the emperor, and the emperor issued another decree: "Rongning's old ministers have made meritorious contributions." Although the sin should not be taken lightly, the grace must be dealt with cautiously, and now it is necessary to deal with the first evil, clear the rest of the party, and pardon his family members to show the grace of heaven. Then return it to Dali Temple for discussion.

In the end, the Jia family was convicted of a major crime, which should have been "Yi three clans", reciting "the ancestor from the dragon, about meritorious service", reducing the crime by one degree, and having a graceful decree, and the fate is as follows: "The first offender Jia pardon, Jia Zheng, Jia Jing, give suicide." Accomplices Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Baoyu, Jia Yan, Jia Huan, and other 17 men were assigned to the Great Bao'en Temple for hard labor. The female dependents of the clan, those over forty-five years old, are assigned to the clan as slaves, those under forty-five years old are assigned to the living Buddha as slaves, the middle and lower members of the clan, the housekeepers, the little servants, the retinue, etc., one hundred and six people, and thirty-seven people from the evil deeds, are killed with rods; The rest of the people were assigned to the West Mountain Quarry for hard labor. The family property is all filled with the treasury, and the Ningrong mansion, Zhuangtian, and assets are used to build the Great Bao'en Temple. His old residence in Jinling was taken into official ownership and handed over to the governor of Liangjiang for disposal. ”

The result of this disposal is naturally the effect of someone going up and down. There is no doubt that the one who has contributed the most is the living Buddha. Zhao Kun originally planned to punish all the men and women who had nothing to do with it, and then sacrifice those famous and famous goods with blood. Unexpectedly, in his research, he found that the damage he caused to the Tongling Jade last time had not been restored.

"Could it be that there is a limit to what those two guys can drive? Or is this Heaven Replenishing Strange Stone extraordinary, it is Nuwa's exclusive secret recipe configuration, and ordinary things can't handle it? ”

This discovery was quite unexpected, but it also provided him with a new way of dealing with the problem.

Try it, it's idle anyway, isn't it?

He directly ordered someone to throw the mending stone in its original form into the dung pit, and poured a lot of dog blood, child urine, menstrual belts and other things, intending to see if he could defile that thing.

Of course, Zhao Kun's filth is not such a simple means.

After three days, Zhao Kun, who felt that it was ineffective, "invited" Xuan Ye, an old man who had not appeared in the career of outsiders since his abdication. Just in front of this big pit, a small pit was dug and his whole body was buried tightly in floating earth, and he could not move except his head. found two more eunuchs who were Yinren's henchmen and shaved his head.

Then, with the tip of the knife, he quickly cut a large cross on the top of the smooth head, and blood gushed out.

One carefully uncovered the skin, while the other picked up a bucket and poured a slender silver thread from the mouth and poured it directly into the wound on the top of the freshly baked Emperor's head.

At this moment, Kangxi, who was already scolding weakly, trembled violently, convulsed, and finally screamed violently. The eyes are high, bulging, and full of red threads.

The mercury poured down and disappeared quickly, like a small mouth swallowing it in one gulp. The old eunuch lifted another bucket, this time with a thick salt water, and then mercury......

The more painful Kangxi was, the more he moved, the more he moved, the faster the mercury penetrated, and in a moment, his head had become like a bloody person, and plasma came out of his brain one by one. The wound is expanding little by little......

An hour later, the cross wound on the top of his head slowly cracked, the skin on his face slowly faded like a piece of clothing, and the bloody head came out of the skin little by littleβ€”this "man" came out of his own skin and jumped three feet high.

Seeing this, Zhao Kun blew over in one breath, and blew this bloody human form onto the Heaven Mending Strange Stone.
