Chapter 208: Shocking Change (4)
In August of the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, he went to patrol the outside of the fortress to escape the summer, and ordered the prince Yinyi, the eldest brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, the seventeenth elder brother, and the eighteenth elder brother to accompany him. **-**The third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen stayed in Beijing to govern.
On this day, Yinzhen went to the Criminal Department to parallax, and it happened that Zhang Pengxi, the chief secretary, was sitting in the hall to watch things. Hearing that Yinzhen had arrived, Zhang Pengxi immediately came out to greet him, and a subordinate official beside him shook his wit, and rushed to give Yinzhen a thousand in front of Zhang Pengxi, with a little flattery, and said: "The next official invites the fourth Belle Wang An." Hearing this title, Yinzhen lowered his face and said in a cold voice: "Ye can't stand your voice, Ye is just a Dorobelle, how can he be a 'king'?" turned to Zhang Pengxi and said: "Yunqing, the Criminal Department is the National Law Department, and the officials of the Criminal Department, every word and deed, the most taboo rules." You are a court official of the Criminal Department, and if you rule like this, I am afraid that people will criticize you. Zhang Pengxi smiled bitterly in his heart, he naturally knew that since the princes were divided, many officials in Beijing, regardless of whether they were crowned kings or not, would be called a certain king when they saw their brothers, and most of the brothers were happy to accept it, but now this master is an exception. Not to mention, when Kangxi divided the prince in the thirty-seventh year, the third elder brother Yinzhi, who was only one year older than the fourth elder brother, was promoted to the king of the county. Yinzhen waved his hand and motioned for him to speak in the hall.
Sitting on the main seat, taking a slow sip of tea, Yinzhen said: "The case of the third prince of Zhu, how do you say it?" Zhang Pengxi took out a paper from the back hall, handed it to Yinzhen, and said: "The trial of the Zhejiang governor Yamen has been completed, and it is reported to Zhu San, that is, Wang Shiyuan and his son Zhu Ren, etc., to incite and intimidate the foolish people, and even collude with the bandits of Dalanshan to make trouble. Discuss the solution to the capital and ask for the correct law. After hearing this, Yinzhen only asked lightly: "This Wang Shiyuan is already a seventy-year-old man?" Zhang Pengxi responded and said: "Yes, his son Zhu Ren is also a person who has passed the age of knowing the mandate of heaven." Yin Zhen laughed and said, "I really don't understand, I think his father and son are buried in most of the loess, what else is the opposite?"
When Zhang Pengxi heard this, his face was stunned, and he said: "But according to Wang Shiyuan's confession, he is indeed the fourth son of Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty. Yinzhen put down and presented Zhang Pengxi and said: "Just look at Wang Ran's report, Dalan Mountain is in turmoil, and what is captured is this Zhang Nianyi and Zhang Nianer, the two of them are just inciting the people in the name of Zhu San, and the Zhejiang Yamen strictly interrogated before confessing to this third prince of Zhu. After a pause, he frowned and continued: "Huang Ama ordered to be arrested as soon as possible, so that Zhao Shixian reported the seizure of this Wang Shiyuan." If this is the case, it may not be that there is no matter of finding a few people to do perfunctory errands. ”
Zhang Pengxi listened, but his face was difficult, and he hesitated: "This case has now been concluded, the Criminal Department and Jiuqing and others have discussed it, Wang Shiyuan, Er Zhang and other 29 thieves have prepared Ling Chi, and 33 of the remaining accomplices have been beheaded, and the wife and son of the criminals have been decided. ”
Yin Zhen already felt that this case was suspected of making a big fuss, and the former Ming prince was pulled out by an ordinary bandit, and Kangxi was strictly investigated, although he had a slander, he could not be shown in front of people, and then looked at the appearance of the criminal department's proposed law to deal with the rebellion case, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Without careful investigation, I can afford to report the first report, plus this Wang Shiyuan's confession, the life of one hundred and ten, just confessed like this? Yunqing, you have always been cautious in managing things, when did the envoy of the criminal department become popular." ”
And Zhang Pengxi's side, although the Criminal Department took this strict charter, it also completely adhered to Kangxi's meaning, and he himself and the old and weak women and children involved in the case were even more unbearable. Now that I heard this master say this, I was helpless, but I couldn't argue: "This, minister... It's just waiting to be reported to the emperor for grace. A sentence was vaguely pointed out, how Yinzhen didn't know Zhang Pengxi, and slightly dimmed the cold color of the front: "In this way, you should consider it, just don't involve it for no reason." When Zhang Pengxi heard this, he bowed solemnly: "Yes." ”
While the two were talking, a guard hurriedly rushed in from outside the hall, and he didn't look at it, it was Deqing, a third-class guard who accompanied him on the southern tour last time. Seeing that it was him, Yinzhen knew that there must be a holy oracle, so he got up and stepped forward. Deqing was already panting, stopped, held his crotch with one hand, held a yellow box with the other, and said loudly: "Report to the fourth elder brother, the master is in a hurry!" Yinzhen was about to kneel to pick it up, but was stopped by Deqing and said: "Fourth master, the master commands, don't kneel to take it, just dismantle it." Yinzhen's heart was tight, could it be that something was wrong? Immediately stretched out his hand to take it, opened the box, and saw that the emperor sealed the hand, and there was still Zhu Batch on the cover, and the book read: "Hurry up and deliver this edict to the king of Chengjun and the four beylers, without delay!" Yinzhen frowned even tighter, and opened the edict, but it was Kangxi who sent an edict to the third elder brother and himself, saying that the symptoms of the eighteenth elder brother Yinzhen's swollen cheeks had worsened, and he was instructed to find the Tai Hospital's Tai Doctor Sun Zhiting, Qi Jiazhao and Yinzhen's nursing mother to hurry up. Seeing that Yinzhen was sick, Yinzhen also had a worried face, and asked Deqing: "Have you gone to find the third master?" Deqing took a breath a little, hit a thousand, and said: "Yes, the slave just went to the third master's mansion." But Menzi said that the third master and Mr. Chen went to Tanzhe Temple to make incense. Seeing that the matter was urgent, the slave didn't dare to delay, so he went to your house again, saying that the master was here, and the slave came. Yin Zhen bowed slightly and said, "Your mission is quite thorough." The master immediately went to the Internal Affairs Office and the Tai Hospital. You work hard again, go to Tanzhe Temple to find the third master. When it is ready, I will go out of Chongwen Gate in the next day. "Huh", Deqing responded neatly, retrieved the oracle, and left in a hurry.
Yong'an Baiang'a, where Kangxi lives.
Kangxi had been pacing in the tent irritably for a long time, and occasionally asked the accompanying doctor: "Eighteenth elder brother, can the heat go down a little, how is the swelling?" The doctor was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this time, and personally put a cool hand towel on Yingen, and went to probe the pulse from time to time, but Yingen was always at a high temperature, his lips were also cracked, his cheeks were swollen even higher, and even his neck was swollen. After all, he is still a villain, Yinji is so uncomfortable that he is tossing on the couch, Kangxi couldn't bear to see it, stopped his steps, sat sideways on the couch, hugged Yingen in his arms, and said softly: "Little eighteen, there is Amma." Yin's eyes were half open, his face was flushed, and his voice was extremely weak, and he said, "Amma, my son is uncomfortable. The son misses his mother. Kangxi's eyes were red when he heard this, and he coughed twice to hide it.
At this time, the tent was opened, and the deputy chief adviser of the Qianqing Palace walked in, greeted Kangxi, and said, "The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are all outside, please see you." Do you want to pass the masters in?" Kangxi gently took off the handkerchief on Yin's head and handed it to the consultant bank, who put his hand in a plate of ice basin, picked up another handkerchief, and carefully covered it on Yin's head. Handing over Yinji to the imperial doctor, Kangxi took a few steps away and groaned slightly, for fear of arguing Yinyi, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The eighteenth elder brother is fierce and fierce, and it is called a cheek in the medical book, so it is likely to be infected." Fifteen elder brothers, sixteenth elder brothers, and eighteen elder brothers are the same mother, and the little eighteen are like this, they must be worried. But these brothers themselves are still young, if they are also sick, how should it be good? You go and tell them that when the eighteenth elder brother is better, I will send them to see him. The advisor responded. was about to leave, but Kangxi made a gesture to stop and asked, "Where is the prince?"
