Chapter 42: Trouble (2)
At this time, Yinzhen saw that the young man who had just helped him had come to Wang Zhengmin's side to check the injury, so he hurriedly walked over. Reading the book// I saw that the young man frowned, so he took out a handkerchief from his arms and put it on Wang Zhengmin's face. Yin Zhen knew that Wang Zhengmin was seriously injured and died at this time, and he was angry at the moment.
Sandua took care of those Mongols, walked closer and bowed down to ask Yinzhen for instructions: "Please show the fourth master." What should I do with this criminal?"
Yin Zhen said lightly: "You are in charge of the security of Gyeonggi, what do you think should be?" Sang Dua thought for a while and said: "Back to the fourth master, the slave thinks that since this matter involves the Kalut Mongolian Department, it is not easy to deal with it casually, and the Lifan Yuan is a serious yamen and is in charge of this matter." It's better to send it over. What does the fourth master think?"
Yin Zhen said: "It's okay, it seems that this matter has to be given to the emperor, and then it will be dealt with after the emperor's will." After that, he squinted at Itmugen, who was still struggling, and said as if to himself: "This murderer who has no royal law, hurts my banner people, and insults the emperor, which is really hateful;;." Sandua nodded knowingly, and first whispered, "The slave understands." Then he commanded the soldiers next to him in a loud voice: "Brothers, you must 'entertain' these Mongol masters well. The soldiers answered, and at that moment they all used their dark strength on their feet and hands, and beckoned fiercely to the ribs and stomachs of the Mongols, especially Immutgen, who only tossed him until his whole body was bowed into a ball of shrimp, and tears and snot flowed.
Yinzhen stared at the young man for a moment, the young man seemed to be still immersed in the scene just now, and he didn't react for a while, until Yinzhen patted him on the shoulder, he just woke up, and quickly leaned down and knelt down. Yin Zhen asked: "I just heard your long retinue say, your father is the imperial history of the city patrol?" The young man saw Yinzhen mention his father, and quickly nodded to the ground, and replied: "Exactly, the slave's father was transferred from the imperial history of Henan Province to the imperial history of the city patrol at the beginning of the year. Yin Zhen saw that the young man had a degree of coping, and couldn't help but feel a little more love in his heart, so he asked again: "Listen to your tone just now, are you a flag man?" The young man replied: "The slave family is under the banner of the Han Army. Yinzhen said "oh", nodded, and then asked, "Can I tell you your name?" The young man Hao Yan smiled and said, "If you go back to the fourth master, the slave is called Nian Qianyao." Yinzhen was a little unprepared when he heard this, and he was a little caught off guard by meeting this future "Nian General" like this. Yin Zhen's thoughts were like a mess at this time, and he didn't know what to say for a while, just staring at Nian Qianyao up and down. Nian Qianyao was also generous, facing the inquiring gaze, without any fear. After a while, Yinzhen smiled and said, "What a young Qianyao, is he not small?" Reading the book// Yin Zhen continued: "You stand up and speak up, although you are heroic, but if those reckless men turn to besiege you, what will you do?" Nian Qianyao said unhurriedly: "This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow the madmen to go wild?" And the slave also took precautions, the slave originally brought two constant entourage, one of them, the slave had already ordered him to go to the patrol yamen to move troops, but it was not as fast as the fourth master's soldiers. Yinzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Courageous and knowledgeable, worthy of a young hero." Nian Qianyao suddenly made a big red face and said, "The fourth master made fun of the minions." ”
After a conversation with Nian Qianyao and his entourage, Yinzhen knew that Nian Qianyao's father, Nian Yaoling, was honest and self-disciplined in the imperial history of Henan Province, which stood out in the big examination. Nian Yaoling's career was not smooth, so he pinned his hopes on his two sons, Nian Xiyao and Nian Qianyao. The two brothers were enlightened at the age of six, Xiyao was already a member of middle school, and Tangyao was about to take the college exam.
Yinzhen could only sigh for a while, Mingzhu, as a secretary of the ministry, should have selected talents for the imperial court, but he didn't expect to be so rampant in private, but Mingzhu was connected to the eldest brother, and he was inconvenient to say anything, so he handed Nian Qianyao a sachet that he carried, and asked him to meet at Prince Yu's mansion three days later. Nian Qianyao is overjoyed, and he can climb to the prince of the dynasty, and for his family, he is not stingy with pies falling from the sky.
After breaking up with Nian Qianyao in a hurry, Yinzhen didn't go to Prince Yu's mansion anymore, and went directly back to the palace and went straight to the study.
I met Li Dequan at the door of the study, and was told that Kangxi was discussing with Suo Etu, Mingzhu, Gao Shiqi, Tong Guowei, Xiong Cixu and other ministers of the study. Yin Zhen knelt quietly outside the door and waited for Kangxi to see him.
After a while, I heard Kangxi inside: "Chuan Yinzhen come in." Yin Zhenli took care of his robe, straightened the crown belt, followed Li Dequan into the upper study, asked Kangxi for peace, and gave Xiong Cixu a half-salute (Xiong Cixu is the chief master of the South Study). Kangxi has always been very courteous, and he likes to find fault with the prince the most, so Yinzhen must do enough work.
Kangxi frowned and asked, "At this hour, why don't you go to practice riding and archery, what are you doing in the study? Is this a place to hang out?"
When Yinzhen saw Kangxi as himself, he was not busy arguing, he first kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and then said: "Erchen originally went to Prince Yu's mansion to learn firearms from the imperial uncle, and he didn't want to encounter madmen on the road. Then he told Kangxi about the scene of being born in the North Pavilion.
After hearing this, Kangxi's face was cloudy, and he asked with a smile: "What do you think, and how should we deal with those Mongols?"
Not long after Tong Guowei entered the study, he was not as calm as the others, and hurriedly said: "The slave thinks that Geldan deceived me too much, and the court made me a prince, which is enough to prove the emperor's sincerity, but he has repeatedly provoked, still claiming to be Boshoketu Khan, and also playing the court to ask for a ban on our border people to trade in his territory, and his disobedience is clearly revealed." This time, his people dare to make trouble in Gyeonggi, if they are not severely punished, how can they show the majesty of our Celestial Empire?"
Suo Etu has always been unaccustomed to Tong Guowei, thinking that he was only promoted to the minister because of his in-laws, and this time he rushed to say in front of everyone, it was really unseemly, so he had the intention to rob him, so he said: "Your Majesty, with the foolish opinion of a slave, this matter should be cautious." The servant read the report of the Li Fan Yuan two days ago, this Itmugen is the deputy envoy of the Imperial Court of Geldan's tribute, if it is really disposed of, I am afraid that there will be a drastic change in Geldan's place. In addition, as just discussed, the Rakshasa has been spying on the movements of our army, if the northwest war starts again, our army will be transferred to the west, and the Rakshasa will not be able to take the opportunity to harass it, but at that time, what should it do?"
Mingzhu was also the secretary of the military department at this time, and said with a sneer: "Suo Xiang, Geerdan is just a wolverine, how can he be compared with my Eight Banners Tiger and Wolf Soldiers? There is no need to transfer the northeast garrison at all, and it is enough to deal with the Eight Banners Green Battalion Army on the first line of Shaanxi and Gansu." ”
Xiong Cixu is a civil servant and a Han member, and when he saw a few Manchurian nobles fighting in the dark, he didn't squeak and just watched from the sidelines.
Kangxi saw that Gao Shiqi seemed to be thoughtful, so he asked, "Jiangcun, what do you think?"
Gao Shiqi had discussed with Kangxi about Geerdan before, and knew what Kangxi meant, so he said: "The minister thinks that this matter is simple. ”
Kangxi smiled and said, "You are now a first-class member, but you still have the same tone that is not shocking and endless." Okay, let's just tell me how simple it is, and if that's not right, I can't spare you. ”
Gao Shiqi looked confident, and said: "The minister obeys the order." In fact, in a word: 'The prince breaks the law, and he is guilty of the same crime as the common people'. ”
Suo Etu was stunned at the moment, and said: "The slave asked the emperor to treat Gao Shiqi's great disrespect, and those who are in the study today, from the emperor to our ministers, who are not familiar with the law calendar, who does not know this truth, but it is easy to do but difficult, and Gao Shiqi's move will inevitably escape the suspicion of grandstanding." ”
Gao Shiqi was robbed, and he didn't move, just looked at Kangxi.
Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Gao Shiqi, you can be more clear." Otherwise, as you have seen, Suo Etu will be the first to join you. ”
Gao Shiqi was not in a hurry, and said: "The law is the foundation of the dynasty, and it cannot be abolished because of personal gain, nor can it be bent due to the situation." Otherwise, how can the imperial court control the people, and how can it talk about fairness? Geldan intends to divide the territory, all the time is testing the bottom line of the emperor and the court, I retreat he will advance, if those murderers are indulged, Geldan will take the emperor as the master who can be bullied, and then intensify, and the other is also. Third, as soon as this incident came out, the kings of the various tribes in Mongolia also watched how the emperor would deal with it, and if this matter was not punished, how could they deter other kings? ”
Kangxi nodded approvingly at this moment and said, "That's exactly what I said." Gao Shiqi, you come to the purpose. ”
Gao Shiqi hurriedly walked to the side of the case, spread out the yellow silk paper, and waited for Kangxi to give an order. Kangxi thought for a moment and said: "The main culprit of the accident, Itmugen will be decided, and the rest of the accomplices will be dealt with according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty after being tried by the Yamen." ”
Then he said: "Another edict to Geldan and the kings of the various tribes, Beile, Taiji, Yunnan Tusi, etc.: 'The leader of Jin'er's tribute did not restrain his entourage well, and let them disturb him, so that he beat the people of the Jingshi banner to death, which has a lot to do with it. The previous subtle sins of seizing the soil, I know and forgive them. When you obeyed the Celestial Empire, she repeatedly asked for forgiveness and frequent admonitions, but unexpectedly, you did not obey them at all, and even beat the people of the mainland to death. If you don't follow the law to atone for your crimes, you will inevitably become more and more wanton in the future, and it is impossible to determine whether you will provoke on a large scale. The main murderer who beat people to death, Itmugen, was beheaded, and he was able to see it. After that, you must strictly abide by the law, strictly obey others, and do not act arbitrarily. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Shiqi handed over the will that had been written. Kangxi read it carefully and said, "Yes, let's use the seal." Li Dequan hurriedly took out the jade seal on the case, Kangxi covered the emperor's treasure, and ordered Li Dequan to pass on the decree to the Domain.
Then he turned his head and said to Yinzhen: "You have done a good job in this matter, you have no ideas, and you have handled it properly." I deserve to reward you. ”
Then he instructed another eunuch foreman, Xing Nian, to take it and give him a pocket watch that had just been paid tribute to the West this year, and handed it to Yinzhen.
Yin Zhen saw this reward, his heart became uneasy, he knew that among all the emperor's elder brothers, only the prince got a piece, and now that the emperor rewarded himself, I don't know what the prince will think.
