Chapter 187: Punishment
In the middle of September, the autumn wind rose, the leaves were yellow, and there was a trace of gloom in the air, Yinzhen looked at the back of Li Pan who was far away, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sad. Reading the book//**-**I was originally ordered to enter the palace to see the driver, but I didn't want to go halfway, so I ran into Li Pan, who was exiled by Qin.
Just a month ago, Kangxi personally proposed to re-test all the tribute students, in order to show the fairness of the court, and also made many courtiers participate in his affairs, and the responsibility of reading the papers was mostly filled by the elders from Hanlin. The ministers who participated in the re-examination first drew up the rankings, and then sent them to the Kangxi Emperor for approval. After reading it, Emperor Kangxi said at the time of the court meeting: "The ministers are all ranked, and the third rank or above is considerable." Some are in the third class, and I am in the second class, and there are also in the fourth class, and I am in the third class. If they are of the third class or above, they will still be allowed to take the palace test. And what makes Yinzhen feel very ironic is that as far as he knows, the Gongsheng retest rarely has the "fourth-class fruit" that Emperor Kangxi said. In other words, Li Pan and Jiang Chenying did not choose a mediocre talent, and the so-called imperial examination fraud case is completely an unjust lawsuit. Sure enough, within a few days, Emperor Kangxi informed the scholars, and the text contained some explanations, Kangxi said: "I said that there must be no final volume." and read the volumes, all of which can be written, which is still acceptable. As for the slander outside, it is inevitable, and it can be stopped!"
The only difference is that Emperor Kangxi has changed his original ranking, and the original first name Huiyuan is Yao Guan, a scholar from Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang, but now it has been replaced by Xu Yongxi, a scholar from Suqian. In Yinzhen's view, this arrangement is also the result of Kangxi giving himself a step. Reading the book// Because of the rumors that Jiang Chenying favoritized fellow villager Yao Guan to the first place, Kangxi not only specially reviewed Yao Guan's volume, but also called Yao Guan to answer in person at Qianqingmen. In the face of the emperor, Yao Guan was quick-witted, outstanding, and performed well, but when he arrived, he was lightly hooked by the imperial pen for those unspeakable reasons, and fell outside the top three.
After the re-examination was released, Kangxi discussed with the six departments the punishment of Li Pan and Jiang Chenying. Because Kangxi said it first, "it will be strictly discussed", "its examiner will punish him, and he will be played after the retest", although the two are not at fault, they have no choice but to become victims. The holy decree together pardoned Li Pan and Jiang Chenying from the Prison God Temple, but unfortunately, Jiang Chenying was falsely accused and angry, and when the decree arrived, he had already committed suicide by drinking medicine with hatred. Before he died, he planned to save the couplet: "This time it is considered to be a loss and a crime, only because he entered the door of Kong's prison, sat on a cold bench, and became an old man, only said that it was a full time limit, but he was hit by the head of the boy's teeth, and his sleeves were empty, and the nerd was not enough; This article was transmitted to the palace, which made Emperor Kangxi regret and sigh. Li Pan alone took on the sin of ineffective handling of things, and Liu Shengjing.
When he set off that day, Li Pan only took one servant, carried a bookcase and sent someone to the criminal department. happened to meet Yinzhen halfway, Yinzhen naturally couldn't help but sigh, and wearing a small hat in green clothes, Li Pan was extremely free and easy, and took the two hundred and two Chengyi sent by Yinzhen, and did not shirk, just arched his hand and flew away, quite a bit of fairy wind bones, so that Yinzhen really came back to his senses.
Xing Nian, the eunuch beside Kangxi, waited by Yinzhen's side for a short time, and couldn't help but remind him on the side: "Fourth master, forgive the slave for saying too much, the hour is not early......." Yin Zhen turned around at this time, but his face sank like water, and he only said lightly: "I know." This will start with Gonggong Xing. ”
When Yinzhen came outside the Xinuan Pavilion, he saw that the third elder brother Yinzhi was also kneeling and waiting for Kangxi to see him, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Three days ago, I listened to the masters talk about etiquette in Wuyi, and I was stunned to see that Yinzhi's head was newly shaved, thinking about Yinxiang's distracted appearance, touching the small half-inch-long head that had grown on his head, and then looking at Yinzhi's green forehead, Yinzhen's complexion changed greatly, and he complained to the masters, and only said to Yinzhi: "I want to ask the third brother, there are a lot of things about filial piety in the etiquette, the third brother is erudite, what do you get?"
Less than three months after the death of the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang's mother, all the princes are still in the filial piety period. On that day, Yinzhen was indignant, so that Yinzhi could not step down for a while, and he couldn't find a sentence to defend himself. At this time, Yinzhi heard the footsteps behind him, peeked back, and happened to meet Yinzhen's eyes, and couldn't help but show a little embarrassment. Fortunately, at this time, Li Dequan sent a decree to Yinzhi to meet him, otherwise Yinzhi only felt that the back of his head was stared at by Yinzhen's ice-like eyes for a while. Yinzhen saw that Yinzhi was weak-hearted, and snorted coldly in his heart.
In less than a moment, Yinzhen also entered. In the house, Yinzhi knelt on the ground, and Kangxi's face was gloomy, obviously making Yinzhi. Seeing Yinzhen asking for peace, Kangxi raised his hand slightly to ask Yinzhen to get up, seeing that Yinzhen was a little hesitant, Kangxi suddenly spoke, with a hint of mockery in his voice: "Loyalty and filial piety are not on these ceremonies, if you don't really remember it in your heart and then implement it, even if you always hang the word loyalty and filial piety in your mouth, it is unsightly to do something." Yinzhen saw that Yinzhi's head was lower, so he refused to get up, and said: "Huang Ama admonished him to be righteous and allowed, and his son wrote it down." Kangxi looked at Yinzhi, his eyes were sharp, and said: "Yinzhi, I told you last time that you have to work the word 'sincerity' in everything, and it seems that you still haven't listened to my warning." I have deposed your lord and relegated me to Baylor. You have to reflect on it. When Yinzhi heard that the prince had been taken away, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what he was muttering to plead guilty.
Yinzhen was a little surprised when he heard it, if it was just because of Yinzhi's fault, it was necessary to punish him for two years, and it seemed that the punishment for deposing the prince was too much. What makes Yinzhen even more puzzled is that Shicai Kangxi not only mentioned 'filial piety', but it seems that the meaning is more on the word 'loyalty', did Yinzhi do other things that angered Kangxi?
At this moment, Kangxi's tone became lighter, and he commanded again: "Yinzhen, I want you to come today because I want you to go with Yinzhi to run an errand for me." Yin Zhen straightened up and said, "Yes, Erchen takes the order." Even Yinzhi felt a little relieved in his heart, and he also sent his own errand, that is, the holy family has not been reduced, and it is only a matter of time before the title of county king is restored. Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with a solemn face, chuckled, and then turned to Yinzhi, with a little more playfulness on his face, and said: "It's not a big errand, it's just a decree." The two of you went to send a decree to Kong Shangren, a member of the Guangdong Division of the Ministry of Households, who was unclear and unappointable, and immediately took his post and returned to his hometown, and handed over to the magistrate to take care of. Yinzhen was stunned when he heard this, and when he looked at Yinzhi again, he was already bloodless.
