Chapter 403: Playing the Board Separately
Less than a day after the new admiral of the imperial court arrived in the place, the governor put him under house arrest in the yamen and refused to let him out, and such a fierce incident spread from Kunming to Beijing in less than seven days, and a whirlwind blew in Beijing. Officials were excited. Who said that there are too few good shows these years? The Governor arrested the Admiral, and he had just arrived in office, and he was arrested before he could officially take over, which is simply a strange news. However, anecdotes aside, this matter is not so easy to deal with.
………………
"What the hell is going on?"
Kangxi's head hurts. Since returning from Tianjin, Old Man Fei handed over a begging excerpt and asked for the dismissal of the post of secretary of the Lifan Academy, who had always been just a name. He also knew that this was Old Man Fei's anger, but Old Man Fei had stayed in Mukden for a long time, and this Shangshu of the Imperial Court was indeed no longer suitable for him to serve. Therefore, on the one hand, he gave Old Man Fei three dazzling feathers, yellow coats, and mansions to show his favor, and on the other hand, he agreed to Old Man Fei's request, and transferred Isang'a, who had stayed in Jilin for many years, to return to Beijing and take over the management of the Domain. However, Kangxi didn't expect that Isana would cause trouble for him before he arrived in Beijing. You know, this Yi-sama has always been in Ningguta. Over the years, as sea cucumber has become a transit point to North America, gold mines in Kamchatka, gold mines in Alaska and various specialties, as well as products from Hokkaido, oil and water can be simply summarized by the word "abundant". And Isanga is not only the leader of Jilin, but also in charge of the Manchurian sailors, even if it is a little bit of it, it is a great fortune. After staying in the Northeast for so many years, I can finally return to Beijing to enjoy the service, and the large amount of money I have earned can naturally no longer stay in Ningguta! Therefore, after receiving the will to enter Beijing, the new Lifan Yuan Shangshu Hu drove from thousands to hundreds of carts, all the way from Ningguta to Shanhaiguan.
As a result, the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who have rarely tilted their eyes to the northeast because of a lot of things in the south over the years, can't see it. If you get rich, you will get rich, and you are still so showy, isn't this a clear omission? In this way, the impeachment notes were thrown up one by one like rain. Kangxi naturally had a headache. However, Ethan Ah had just been transferred to the Imperial Court by him, so he couldn't be knocked down before he even sat on the chair, right? Doesn't that make it seem that he Emperor Kangxi is very visionless? Moreover, in Kangxi's view, Isang'a abandoned his "great future" in the capital and went to Ningguta. Over the years, I have been conscientious, hardworking, and complaining, although I have made some money, but I have never heard of any major mistakes, who has evidence that people are corrupt? When the two families of Yu Zhong and Ma De left Manchuria, they were not necessarily much poorer than Isan'a, right? Therefore, it is very likely that these imperial histories are motivated by jealousy. Moreover, discover Alaska, communicate with North America, and support the big brother Yinchu...... Each of these is a visible credit. Moreover, apart from Ethan, he couldn't find a suitable person to act as the governor of the clan for a while. So. had no choice but to issue an order to reprimand Ethan. was fined for one year, and still entered Beijing to take charge of the domain.
However, he never expected it. Not long after the matter in the northeast was resolved, another trouble came to the door in the southwest. And this time the incident is more serious than Isana does not know the convergence, the governor is under house arrest? What is this called? It's not this kind of trouble, right? Cai Ting has just arrived in Kunming, how did he offend you?
"Your Majesty, Yu Zhong hasn't played yet!"
Kangxi didn't go to the study for the past two days, and met everyone in the study of the Qianqing Palace. Hearing Kangxi's question, Tong Guowei stood up with some schadenfreude and said.
"Didn't make a comeback? Hmph, he's sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. …… Did Alinga present it? Kangxi sneered twice and asked again.
"Your Majesty, Alinga has a six-hundred-mile urgent express!" Tong Guowei stood up again.
Reached out and took out a copy of the fold from the cuff and handed it to Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, Yunnan political envoy Yang Mingshi also has an urgent express report, please take a look!" Zhang Tingyu saw that Tong Guowei presented Alinga's recital, and also took out a recital from his cuff and said.
"Oh? The governor and the envoy sent it together, but the governor was not in a hurry or anxious, hmph, you say, what is going on? "I saw that the two copies were presented together. Kangxi was not in a hurry to read it, and put the two copies on the imperial case, but asked the three ministers of the upper study first.
"Your Majesty, no matter who picked out this matter first, the governor's house arrest of the admiral is really an obstacle to listening, spreading the word, and greatly damaging the face of the court. Therefore, the slave thinks that no matter whether Yu Zhong is right or wrong, he should bear a lot of responsibility! Tong Guowei said first.
That makes sense. Anyway, doing things so indiscriminately, Yu Zhong's mistake was committed! Kangxi nodded, agreeing with Tong Guowei's words.
"Your Majesty, although Yu Zhong is at fault, the slave thinks that it is better to find out the truth of the matter before it can be handled. Otherwise, it is inevitable that some people will think that the court is 'unfair'! After all, Yu Zhong is also one of the generals of our dynasty, and he should not be neglected. Marzi added.
"Yes, it's an old saying!" Kangxi nodded again.
"......" Tong Guowei and Ma Qi spoke one after another, and only Zhang Tingyu was left in the study. However, when Kangxi and the three of them turned their eyes, they only saw this Zhang Xiangye looking at the ground with low eyebrows, as if he was trying to find a few ants from the cracks in the gold bricks of the Qianqing Palace.
"Hengchen, what do you think?" Kangxi's tone was a little impatient. Zhang Tingyu is good at everything, but it's so stuffy, so stuffy that people sometimes can't help but want to kick him.
"Back to the emperor, the minister has no opinion!" Zhang Tingyu replied.
"Hengchen, the emperor asked, how could you not answer?" Tong Guowei interjected.
"Emperor Qi, Weichen just thought that Yunnan was thousands of miles away from the capital, and when the news reached the capital, I don't know what had become of Kunming. Instead of speculating here, it is better for Ah Ling'a and Yang Mingshi to play together, and then agree on the fault of Zhong and Cai Ting! ”
Zhang Tingyu ignored Tong Guowei and bowed to Kangxi again.
"You're right, but I'm afraid I'll be even more angry after reading these two copies!"
After listening to Zhang Tingyu's advice, Kangxi picked up the two copies and looked at them, and said with a wry smile.
"It turns out that the emperor has this mind......" Tong Guowei said secretly in his heart. Kangxi was worried that the content of the two excerpts of Ah Ling'a and Yang Mingshi was different, and each had its own cover-up, so he couldn't make a decision. At least, even if the charges convicted without explaining the reason for the matter are not accurate, according to their minds, they will not be too biased and will not make too many mistakes. Of course, there is a disadvantage to this, that is, it is easy to beat both sides of the offense to 50 boards. So that the matter is not settled.
"It seems that the emperor is still looking at Yu Zhong a little more! ……”
An admiral, and a newcomer to the admiral, has no grudges with the governor in the past, has no enmity recently, and even meets for the first time, no matter who guesses, it is impossible to think that this admiral will have the courage to grow "hair" and provoke the governor first. Kangxi can naturally think of this, but he doesn't want to go to see the twists, so. Except that it's because it's oriented to the middle. In addition to not wanting to see the "truth" and condemning him, Tong Guowei could not find a second reasonable explanation.
"Hehe, it's really unexpected. …… Very good. Very good! When Tong Guowei was thinking, Kangxi also waved his hand and opened the recital of Ah Ling'a and looked at it, but unexpectedly, he laughed.
"I don't know what the emperor is laughing at?" Ma Qi asked playfully.
"These two letters are well written, so let's do the same!" Kangxi smiled.
………………
For no reason!
There is no favoritism, nothing else, only narrative...... Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, and Zhang Tingyu read the two letters of A Ling'a and Yang Mingshi one by one, and they only saw the narrative of the matter from beginning to end. There is not a trace of the opinion of the person who wrote the memorale himself.
However, for the four of Kangxi, it is enough to write like this!
"This Cai Ting ......"
After watching the recital, Tong Guowei went from gloating to feeling the most uncomfortable. Because Yang Mingshi's letter mentioned a sentence from Cai Ting: "Tong Guowei and Tong Xiangye can prove it!" "If this is misunderstood, won't he become Cai Tingdi's backstage? God is pitiful, according to the things described on the fold, this Cai Ting is obviously asking for hardships, although Yu Zhong's performance is also a little excessive, but. What is this doing to someone?
"When His Majesty Cai Ting resigned, the slave was not there, did the emperor really send down an edict to hand over the military capital of Yunnan to him to preside?" Tong Guowei thought about how to explain if Kangxi asked him, so this time it was Ma Qi who asked first.
"The Admiral of Yunnan does not preside over the military of Yunnan, so what does I let him do? Do you still want him to rob the political envoys? Kangxi "touched" his forehead, shook his head with a wry smile.
"In this way, Cai Ting himself misunderstood the emperor's meaning, and as a result, he offended Yu Zhong self-righteously?" Marzi said.
"If I really let him preside over the military in Yunnan, how could I just give him a verbal message? It's not that he misunderstood, it's just because he can't lose face and lose his prestige in front of Yu Zhong, so he took my casual words and made a fuss there......" Kangxi snorted coldly.
"Not only that, this guy actually climbs the minions, it's really hateful!" Tong Guowei hurriedly came up and said. Listening to Kangxi's tone, Cai Ting is finished, he doesn't want to be mistaken for this guy's backstage.
"Then you say, what should I do with this 'Admiral Cai,'?" Kangxi asked again.
"Your Majesty, Cai Ting's crime, to put it more seriously, is a false decree that threatens the peak; To put it mildly, I just don't know the seriousness of the matter and disrespect the boss! How to deal with this, I'm afraid it will be up to you to make a holy judgment! Ma Qi secretly admired Yu Zhong's methods. Cai Ting said that he had Kangxi's dictation, if this was placed elsewhere, even if someone didn't believe it, they would definitely not dare to 'mess up', let alone put him under house arrest, even if the matter was investigated in the future, a "misunderstanding of the holy will" was enough, in order not to make a big deal about it, the court would definitely not strictly censor it, and it would naturally be easy to pass the test. However, Yu Zhong made a big deal this time, and Cai Ting was finished. The governor is under house arrest, and the rumors are still spreading, the court must give people a reasonable explanation, right? But how can such a serious matter be easily dealt with? Especially at the beginning, Yu Zhong detained Cai Ting for the big crime of "possibly falsely transmitting the emperor's dictation", and the imperial court could not avoid talking about it. Of course, the imperial court can also avoid the important and take the light, and if Cai Ting is lenient once, he will say that he "misunderstands the holy will", but what should Yu Zhong do? In order to solve the affairs of Yunnan, Yu Zhongke had already proposed a huge plan, and it was also approved by Kangxi. Now that the plan has begun, the newly arrived Admiral has become an opponent of the Governor, what if because of this feud, the major affairs of the imperial court are ruined? Who can afford this? Therefore, in order for the plan to go smoothly, Cai Ting will either be a bare-bones admiral, or he can only be transferred, but no matter what, leaving such a bad record, Cai Ting's future is over.
"Yu Zhong can naturally imagine that the imperial court's plan to pacify the southwest is indispensable for him to command and dispatch from it, so when Cai Ting just said what kind of holy will let him preside over the Yunnan military, Yu Zhong should have expected that this guy was talking big. However, the governor of Yunnan was originally going to preside over the military territory of Yunnan, and Cai Ting's words could not be regarded as wrong, it should just be that he did not explain that he had to obey the dispatch of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. In other words, it is very likely that Yu Zhong is deliberately provoking Cai Ting and letting Cai Ting dig a pit and jump ...... by himself."
Zhang Tingyu closed his eyes and mourned for Cai Ting! Who is it bad to provoke, but what group of people are in the middle of it? What big words can't be said, you have to climb to the emperor? Cuisine! Real dish! Stupid!
"The emperor has idle Ferdinand, but now it seems that the remaining ones are not idle corners. It's just that I don't know if this rectification of Cai Ting is deliberately venting his dissatisfaction with the imperial court? Zhang Tingyu was taken aback by his own thoughts, and hurriedly looked at his nose and nose, nose and heart, and settled down.
………………
"Passing on my will, the new governor of Yunnan, Cai Ting, acted improperly, acted recklessly, misunderstood the holy will, and disrespected the chief officer, so he was immediately removed from his post as governor. However, remembering that he had a little merit in the past, he was reappointed as the deputy general of Changsha, and he set off immediately on the day he arrived, and he must not violate it! After pondering for a while, Kangxi finally said.
"Okay, from the admiral to the deputy general, from being alone to being relegated to Changsha to listen to the dispatch, hehe, it seems that arrogance really comes at a price!" Hearing Kangxi's words, the three ministers of the upper study each had some thoughts.
"One more purpose,...... The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou acted recklessly in the middle of the country, forbade the ministers, and lost hope.
However, remembering that he had made great contributions to the court in the past, he would not be held accountable. Immediately recover the sword of Shang Fang that was given before, and admire this! ”
