Guo Xiu, the current imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is the deputy chief of the six departments and five provinces of the Imperial Procuratorate, and not only has independent impeachment power (independent prosecutor?). ), and can "hear about things", which has always been valued by Kangxi!

It's just that before this, no one thought that Guo Xiu would be promoted to today's position!

He used to be a Taoist, and was later dismissed due to corruption, but because the amount of corruption was not very large, Kangxi let him bask in the sun outside the noon gate for half a day, and after being demoted to three levels, he was sent to a certain place to become a fellow from the fifth grade!

And the reason why he was able to rise to today's position in a short period of time is because he had a fight with Emperor Kangxi a few years ago!

That was the first time Kangxi went to Fengtian to meet the Manchurian kings! Passing by Sanhe County, I happened to meet the new county commander taking office, and the new Sanhe county commander was accompanied by hundreds of people, and his line of cars and cars, horses and horses, was very magnificent, and Kangxi who took advantage of the road to rest and play in micro-clothes was dumbfounded, and he said words like "county order, hundred miles of waiting"! Of course, there is another one who is also angry, that is, Guo Xiu, a local acquaintance who rode a donkey out to inspect the people's situation!

Guo Xiu's temper is very strong! Not only to others, but also to yourself! After the embezzlement case, he repented and reformed himself, and swore an oath, so when he saw the pomp and circumstance of the new Sanhe County Commander, he immediately got angry and rode a donkey straight to the county office, and unloaded the big seal of the new county order that had just arrived! And just when he finished these things and left Sanhe County not long ago, Kangxi's confidant and great eunuch Li Dequan also arrived in Sanhe County!

Kangxi was also very unhappy when he saw the posture of the new Sanhe county commander, and sent Li De to summon this county commander to the camp for questioning, and give a good meal! But something went wrong!

Who is Li Dequan? Eunuch!

Although the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were afraid of the catastrophe, the Qing Dynasty was very strict with the eunuchs from the founding of the country, but the eunuchs are still eunuchs after all, even if Li Dequan has been with Kangxi for a long time, he himself has some eyesight, but how many years has he been held by Kangxi's side, it is rare to have the opportunity to come out to breathe, and he is still under the emperor's order, which can be regarded as half a "Qin cha", how can he not live comfortably?

Therefore, he took a few little eunuchs to follow his followers, galloped all the way, and after arriving at Sanhe County, he was still on a rampage, and finally ...... Hit someone!

The person who was hit fell to the ground unconscious!

So, they were stopped by the crowd! However, Li Dequan didn't know how to converge, although he knew that it was his own fault, and he also dropped a few pieces of silver, but he was not convinced in his mouth, and kept shouting, saying that he had made a great favor by throwing away the silver, and the person didn't pay attention, and he was hit and deserved it, even if he died, he died in vain, etc.! As a result, the crowd was collectively agitated by his words, and the hottest one among them was Guo Xiu who was passing by! He was most disgusted with bullying the weak, but when he stepped forward to reason, he was impatiently rewarded with two whips by Li Dequan......

Next, of course, Guo Xiu will be powerful!

Didn't Li Dequan want to find the Sanhe County Order? Guo Xiu was whipped, and he didn't reveal his identity, but volunteered to take them to the county office, but once he got there, the situation was different!

Water and fire sticks, clamping sticks, flails......

The more Li Dequan said that he was the emperor, the more ruthless Guo Xiu's punishment became! …… Because if what Li Dequan said was true, in front of so many people, his behavior of hitting people was to smear Kangxi's face, Guo Xiu prides himself on being loyal to the monarch and patriotic, of course he can't let this kind of thing happen, so he has to ask Li Dequan to change his words, but what Li Dequan said is true......

In the end, Li Dequan and his gang went back to see Kangxi with injuries and bloodstains all over their bodies!

Out of resentment, Li Dequan made a little embellishment on the description of the collision incident, so the whole thing sounded to Kangxi, and it became Guo Xiu's audacity and recklessness, ignoring the emperor's orders, and beating Qincha! Therefore, Kangxi was also a little angry, so he ordered to summon Guo Xiu to see him!

After the two met, one was the emperor, and he was a little angry in his heart, and the other was just a fierce person! Finally, the fight began!

Kangxi asked Guo Xiu why he didn't look at the owner when he beat the dog, beat the emperor well, and did not obey the king's law, after Guo Xiu heard this, he felt very aggrieved, and his temper also surged upward, and he was stunned to say that Kangxi was not strict and connived at the palace slaves! Then, the more the two talked, the more stiff they became, Kangxi finally couldn't bear the anger, and asked the guards to whip Guo Xiu, and Guo Xiu was even more desperate, and immediately scolded Kangxi for being the lord of the Han Dynasty, conniving at the dispute between the Manchus and the Hans, and protecting the Manchurians, excluding the Han officials, and accepting donations to the officials is tantamount to selling the official beard and so on......

You know, Kangxi is very proud! He ascended the throne at the age of eight, pro-government at the age of fourteen, and eliminated Ao Bai at the age of sixteen, and then leveled the three feudatories, recovered Taiwan, opened up the Cao Transport, and rectified the river affairs...... Which of these feats is not beyond the reach of capable people? But Guo Xiu, a two-pole man, dared to scold him in front of him for being a "faint king", and he was a violent man like Ji Xuan, how could he not be angry?

So, after Guo Xiu finished scolding, Kangxi finally ordered that the criminal Guo Xiu should be decided!

This is where it should have ended! However, at this time, someone's words pulled Guo Xiu back from the ghost gate, this person is Gao Shiqi!

"The day does not shine on my sincerity!" At that time, as soon as Guo Xiu was escorted out of the house, Gao Shiqi came to say this, Kangxi asked him what he meant, and Gao Shiqi opened in vain: "The minister thinks that the emperor is so disposed of, it is too cheap This Guo Xiu, in a moment, a corrupt official who has committed a big crime of corruption has become a famous minister in the annals of history, alas, cheap!" ”

After Kangxi heard this, he thought about it, but this is really the truth, if he killed Guo Xiu at this time, it would not only fulfill the reputation of this thorn, but also give himself a reputation of "not tolerating people and not admonishing", which is absolutely impossible, so he ...... Reprieve!

Not long after, after Kangxi's anger went down, after thinking about it carefully, he heard someone say something like "the family has a bad family and is not defeated", and finally decided to use Guo Xiu, the backbone of the minister! So, Guo Xiu jumped from a death row prisoner to the imperial envoy of Jiangnan Province, and since then, he has been promoted again and again with Kangxi monarchs and ministers, and finally, he has become the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate responsible for supervising hundreds of officials!

However, no one thought that not long after this imperial envoy Guo sat in this position, he actually took Mingzhu, the minister of power, to open the knife! Moreover, not only Mingzhu, in his letter, he also impeached his savior, the current minister of the upper study, the secretary of the cabinet, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Shifu, Gao Shiqi, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Yu Guozhu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Xu Qianxue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the University Shile Dehong, Degele, the former Hubu Shangshu Folun, the Governor of the River Affairs Le Fu, the Governor of Huguang Zhang Wang, the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Cai Yurong and so on...... Some people say that Guo Tiegull's pole knocked down almost thirty percent of the Qing Dynasty's members of the third grade or more! And that's not all, after Guo Xiu, it was followed by the impeachment stamps of Yu Chenglong and other well-known officials, and when they made a move, those who were involved also fought back, so for a while, almost everyone in the Qing Dynasty civil and military officials carried one or two impeachment stamps!

The situation is in a mess!

***

Three days after the birthday party!

Forbidden city!

In the upper study, Kangxi is furious, and the object is Mingzhu!

It's just that this time, Kangxi's important minister, known as "Xiangguo", has lived in the cabinet for more than 20 years, and the pearl known as "the government of the world" has lost his previous spirit! (In fact, according to history, Mingzhu finished playing in Kangxi for more than 20 years, and this book has changed a lot of other places in order to arrange the story, so don't believe it, hereby declare!) No more remarks in the future! ）

Three days ago, Guo Xiu gave him that "chic" birthday gift, which scared thousands of greeting guests to the point that they almost escaped en masse, and after he and the only two people left, Gao Shiqi and Xiong Cixu, came to see Kangxi together, and wanted to ask for an explanation to be at the bottom! However, Kangxi only agreed to summon Xiong Cixu and Gao Shiqi, and only let people pass on one sentence to him: "Mingzhu is on his birthday, he will be given three days off, and he doesn't have to be on duty", and then sent him back!

At that time, he knew that his eunuch path was ...... Finished!

After more than 20 years of mixing in officialdom, it is finally time for him to get out of class!

Think about yourself from the time you met Kangxi, by his simple extraction, the first Yun Lu envoy, the second Langzhong, the third director of the Internal Affairs Office, the fourth bachelor of the Hongwen Academy, the fifth plus level, the sixth secretary of the criminal department, the seventh term of the Zuodu Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate, the eighth term of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, the official of the feast, the ninth term of the Lecture of the Banquet, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the leader of the Lord, the eleventh official of the Banquet, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the leader of the Zuo Ling, the twelfth plus one level, the thirteenth term of the Wuyingdian University Scholar and the Ministry of Rites of the Scholar, the Leader of the Lord, the fourteenth term of the current prince Taifu, Wu Yingdian University Scholar and Scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Interior, Governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Bachelor of Hongwen Academy, Assistant, and Plus One Grade, will be given a three-eyed dazzling ...... In the past 20 years, it is really beautiful! However, he was finally defeated in the hands of a little Guo Xiu! It seems that Kangxi is also fed up with himself and feels that he should leave the court!

Thinking about it, he has made too much trouble, Kangxi can tolerate himself for so many years, and he can be regarded as very nostalgic!

Mingzhu is an understanding person, from the beginning of the sincere fear, soon automatically changed the role, in three days is not a long time, as a big traitor to analyze a good analysis, and, also seized the time to make some arrangements, the huge family wealth is scattered, so that those officials who say that he is greedy are almost unable to grasp the handle, it can be said that even if he dies now, his family will be fine! …… He doesn't ask for merit, but he shows no fault, and he is also a little prepared for the result of this day!

"You say...... How am I treating you? Are all these things you have done all these years worthy of my trust in you? Isn't it worth the importance I have for you? …… Yes! Kangxi's angry voice rushed straight into Mingzhu's ear hole, shocking his eardrums a little painful!

"Slave ......" Kangxi reprimanded sternly, of course Mingzhu wanted to reply, but as soon as he said two words, he couldn't cry, more than 20 years, how can this power be lost if it is lost?

"Cry, know cry! You cried today too? Do you know how many people have made your whole family cry! Kangxi flew up and kicked Mingzhu to the ground, and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, slave...... The slave is guilty, so kill me! ...... "Kangxi's kick was very measured, and the kick made Mingzhu only hurt but not hurt, although Mingzhu was uncomfortable, he also understood what Kangxi meant, his heart warmed, and suddenly it rained heavily!"

"Kill you? I don't want to kill you? Kangxi then said angrily: "Your sin, ten times is not enough!" ……”

"The slave knows that he deserves death...... Mingzhu sobbed.

"Sin deserves death? Yes, you deserve to die for your sin, but you don't have 10,000 lives! …… Otherwise, I'd love to try my sword! Kangxi returned to the throne angrily, glared fiercely at Mingzhu, who was sobbing there with his head down, and then looked at Gao Shiqi who was kneeling on the side, as well as Suo Etu and Xiong Cixu, who had been standing on both sides of the imperial case with a straight face, and finally suppressed his anger.

Mingzhu can't be killed!

In the past three days, almost all the Beijing officials of the six ministries and Jiuqing have written the impeachment of Mingzhu, which is generally involved in his bribery and embezzlement, appointing private individuals, Kangxi believes that such a crime must also be punished, but there is a twist and turn but the impeachment of Mingzhu wants to be unfavorable to the prince, which can make the problem to the party of the * and the brother party, and this person who participates in the pearl is Suo Etu's party, how can he not be suspicious? Since there is an incident between the two parties, then he can't kill one party and protect the other, so this guy Mingzhu can't be killed! Otherwise, Xiong Cilu is old and incompetent, Gao Shiqi's strength and prestige are insufficient, and he is guilty, so he will definitely not be able to contain Suo Etu, at that time, Suo Etu is the dominant party, wouldn't the prince's power threaten him, the emperor?

"Mingzhu, do you have anything else to say?" Thinking of this, Kangxi asked Mingzhu in a deep voice.

"The minion has nothing to say!" Mingzhu has a heart and seven tricks, Kangxi's kick is equivalent to telling him all his plans, what he has to do now is to step down according to Kangxi's words.

“…… Hmph, you still have a little bit of shame! Kangxi snorted coldly, turned his eyes and looked at the others again, "You say, Mingzhu has committed such a big crime, how to deal with it?" ”

"The emperor's ......" Suo Etu has been fighting with Mingzhu for so long, and when he sees Mingzhu's current appearance, of course he is overjoyed, but of course he will not be shallow enough to show this mood on his face, in that case, if Kangxi sees it, maybe he will have to be unlucky, the two of them are fighting back and forth, they are not clean, you are gloating here, who knows what the emperor will think? Bao may have turned his face and cured himself, so Suo Etu just looked at his nose just now, and his nose and heart seemed to be settled and stood there as if he was in a fixed position, watching Kangxi reprimand Mingzhu, without saying a word, but now he heard Kangxi suddenly ask himself how to deal with Mingzhu, he can't maintain a wait-and-see attitude, Gao Shiqi is no longer qualified to speak, but Xiong Cixu is a little more loyal, if he says good things to Mingzhu first, wouldn't it be a bad thing? Therefore, as soon as he heard Kangxi's question, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, Mingzhu's crime is extremely heinous, and the slave thinks that he should be punished with capital punishment in order to set an example!" ”

"Xiong Cixu, what do you say?"

Kangxi ignored Suo Etu, and set his eyes on Xiong Cixu again.

"Your Majesty...... The minister thought that Mingzhu had a big crime, but he also had great merit, and he had been in the position for many years, and his protégés were all over the world, if he was killed, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the court, so he ...... I hope that the emperor can fall lightly and with the heart of a hundred officials! ”

Xiong Cixu thought for a moment and bowed down to reply.

“…… Well...... Gao Shiqi, what do you see? ”

Kangxi listened to Xiong Cixu's words, and was noncommittal, and asked Gao Shiqi again.

"Your Majesty, Gao Shiqi is also guilty, and the slave thinks that he is not qualified to put a beak in this case!" Suo Etu didn't expect Kangxi to ask Gao Shiqi, although this guy is not strong in the court, he is a ghost, can speak, and has always been close to Mingzhu, if he says something that can impress Kangxi and save Mingzhu, wouldn't it make him happy? What's more, Guo Xiu also participated in Gao Shiqi's several major crimes, this guy should get out of the study from now on, but how can he listen to Kangxi's tone, it seems that there is still a bit of meaning to stay in the official account?

"Your Majesty, what Lord Suo said is very true, Gao Shiqi is guilty, and he should avoid suspicion!" Gao Shiqi knelt on the ground and said to Kangxi, he is not as stupid as Suo Etu, Guo Xiu has one of the "friends" of him and Mingzhu in the folds, he and Mingzhu are actually a case, but he only said that the "guilty body" needs to avoid suspicion, but he did not say that he and Mingzhu are a case to avoid suspicion, and there is a discussion in the middle.

"If you say it, you say, where is all this nonsense? You are guilty, I know, but now I am asking how Mingzhu should be convicted, and I didn't say that I want to ask you about your sin, what are you anxious about? Kangxi was impatient.

"Wechen don't dare! ...... "Gao Shiqi is happy in his heart, there is a door! However, he didn't dare to show this kind of expression on his face, he just made a thoughtful expression, and then said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister thinks that Mingzhu ...... He deserved death! ”
