Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 821

What the governor of Jiangxi said was scary.

General Jiang Ning was so shocked that his hairs almost stood on end.

No, what do you mean?
Well done, why did the emperor send someone to arrest me?
Why did I have to buy a ticket and run away when I was a first-rank General Jiang Ning?
Also, what happened to the Hundred Officials Clan Conference in Xiangyang?
A series of three questions filled Songchun's brain, and because the news was so shocking, he couldn't digest it for a while.

"how?"

Hao Futai was also stunned, very surprised: "The general didn't hear any news?"

"What wind?"

Song Chun said that he knew nothing, and his expression was absolutely unaffected.

What a bewilderment.

"It shouldn't be,"

Hao Futai was surprised, and under Songchun's eager gaze, he briefly explained the news he had received.

The general idea is that half a month ago, the emperor secretly sent the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Yongxuan, secretly to the front line of Huguang. In addition to succeeding Prince He Shuorui as General Fuyuan, he also secretly announced 88 major crimes of Prince Rui in the army, including one The charge was that Prince Rui pretended to be the imperial family with the intention of treason.

"Pretending to be a clan, intending to rebel?"

Songchun was stunned by the news, and hurriedly asked Hao Futai where he got the news.

Hao Futai said that this matter came from the bandit army.

"The thief army?"

Songchun frowned immediately, instinctively thinking that this might be a plan by the bandits to sow discord.

However, Hao Futai then showed him an official document stating that this was by no means a conspiracy by the bandits, but something that was actually happening.

The official document was issued by Gao Jin, governor of Liangjiang, and the addressee was Min Eyuan, governor of Anhui.

The content requires Anhui governor Min Eyuan to cooperate with the capital to dispatch a Liangjiang area working group to control the person of Jiangning general Songchun, and assist the working group to appease the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners stationed in Anqing City, and secretly arrest Songchun's party members, so as not to cause trouble and give thieves a chance. The army can take advantage of this opportunity.

Songchun couldn't help being surprised by this official document, and then showed suspicion.

The reason is that the official document given by the governor of Liangjiang to the governor of Anhui is in the hands of you, the governor of Jiangxi.

Hao Futai pointed to the official document and told General Jiang Ning that this official document was a copy.

Song Chun took a closer look and found that there was no seal of the governor of Liangjiang on it, and it was indeed a copy.

Can't help being silent, and didn't ask Hao Shuo the details of the origin of this dungeon.

This is the unspoken rule of officialdom.

It is also a routine method for officials to follow their staff to get sideways.

That is, many people obtain first-hand information by bribing officials and staff in private, and then seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The so-called first-hand information is not important but oral traditions, and what is important are transcripts.

This "many people" also includes official subordinates and colleagues at the same level.

Obviously, the governor of Jiangxi has someone in the governor's yamen of Anhui, and before the secret document was released, he secretly leaked it to the governor of Jiangxi.

Another meaning of the official document is that the imperial court has greeted Gao Jin, governor of Liangjiang, and Gao Jin also agreed to take strong measures against Jiangning general Songchun, and ordered his subordinate official, governor of Anhui, to handle it in detail.

This made Songchun feel an inexplicable anger.

Theoretically, the governor of Liangjiang is the highest military and political officer in the three provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi, and he can command more green battalion troops than the Eight Banners soldiers controlled by General Jiang Ning.

Moreover, the actual mobilization authority of the troops stationed in the Eight Banners rests with the Ministry of War, and General Jiang Ning himself has no right to mobilize the troops stationed in the Eight Banners.

In addition, they cannot interfere with local government affairs. In the eyes of ordinary people, although the Governor of Liangjiang is equal to General Jiang Ning, his real power is greater than that of General Jiang Ning.

But when it comes to major events, the governor of Liangjiang must submit a joint letter with General Jiang Ning. According to the system requirements during the Yongzheng period, General Jiang Ning was ranked ahead of the governor of Liangjiang when he jointly signed the letter.

So even though the actual power of General Jiang Ning is not as high as that of the Governor of Liangjiang, according to the ranking system, General Jiang Ning is the number one in the Liangjiang area in name, and the Governor of Liangjiang is only the second in command.

Gao Jin, the current governor of Liangjiang, was born in the Han army. His uncle Gao Bin was an official to the Ministry of Officials, the governor of Zhili, and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. His cousin is the first imperial concubine of the current emperor Qianlong. , that is, the emperor's uncle and brother-in-law.

In terms of close relationship with the emperor, Gao Jin is obviously closer than Song Chun, who was born in a distant clan.

This also explains why the emperor secretly ordered Gao Jin, the second-in-command in the Liangjiang area, to secretly assist the working group in arresting the top-in-command, General Jiang Ning.

After sorting out this relationship, Songchun became even more frightened.

He knew very well that as an emperor, once he was arrested, there would be no good end for him, and he was so horrified that sweat dripped from his forehead.

Gathering his mind, he looked at the governor of Jiangxi who secretly reported the news to him, and said in a concentrated voice: "Why did Mr. Hao leak such a big matter to me?"

"Your subordinate will know that the general will ask you this question,"

Hao Shuo sighed softly, and told General Jiang Ning in front of him another incident that happened in Beijing.

That is, Fu Zhongtang, the foreman of the military aircraft department, has been secretly imprisoned by the emperor. At the same time, more than a dozen important officials in the court, including Minister of the Ministry of War Yi Letu and Minister of Rites Quini, were also arrested.

Although there was no public report, and the emperor did not greet the governors everywhere, well-informed people already knew about it.

This well-informed person includes him, Hao Futai.

But Mr. Hao did not tell Mr. General that he did not get the news from the capital, but from Hubei.

Two days ago, his mailbox received a top-secret telegram from Xiangyang.

The sender is Prince He Shuorui, the host of the Mutual Aid Association.

Mr. Hao actually doesn't approve of this new chief host, because he firmly supports the former host Fu Zhongtang.

However, the downfall of Fu Zhongtang forced him to change his supporters, otherwise, as a partisan of Fu Lehun, he would definitely be whipped to pieces by the emperor.

This time, it's not as simple as retiring early.

In desperation, for the sake of his family and his life, he had no choice but to follow the instructions of the meeting and come to do the ideological work of General Jiang Ning.

Here, General Jiang Ning fell into deep thought.

If what the governor of Jiangxi said is true, he, a first-rank official, is actually a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

As for why the emperor wanted to move him, he didn't even need to think about the reason.

Isn't it because of his old cousin?

Rebellion is a serious crime of the nine Yi people. All men over the age of 16 will be executed and their property will be included in the government.All the women were sent to Ninggu Pagoda as slaves to armored men.

No distinction is made between the first and the second, as long as the accomplices are identified, they will all be sentenced to death.

The so-called "nine families" are four from the father's family, three from the mother's family, and two from the wife's family.

Father's family refers to children of aunts (cousins), sisters and children (nephews), daughters and children (grandchildren), members of the same family (parents, brothers, sisters, children);

Maternal clan refers to the line of maternal ancestors, the line of grandmothers, and the line of uncles;
Wife family refers to the family of father-in-law and mother-in-law.

If the old cousin of the six sons really committed the serious crime of pretending to be the clan and intending to rebel, then according to the "Law of the Qing Dynasty", although Songchun's mother is not the aunt of the six sons, but his grandmother is the old cousin of the six sons, he must be punished. implicated.

Even if they won't be executed by the whole family, the family will suffer a blow comparable to the destruction of the family.

The most important thing is that he, Songchun, as the second cousin of the old cousin of the six sons, is not an ordinary person, but a general of the Eight Banners stationed in Jiangning, the nominal leader of the Liangjiang area.

The Liangjiang area was also an important place for the Qing Dynasty to pay taxes. In this way, can the emperor trust him?
Needless to say, he, General Jiang Ning, must be on the blacklist, and must be among the top five on the list.

It will never end well.

In order to thoroughly do the ideological work of General Tongjiang Ning, Hao Futai moved out all the old things since the current emperor Qianlong ascended the throne one by one.

The most important one is that Qianlong was mean and ungrateful.

Three people were given as examples.

The first is Tian Wenjing, the second is Li Wei, and the third is Ertai.

The three of them were the three famous feudal territories of the late emperor's dynasty, and they were also the confidantes of the late emperor who trusted and relied heavily on them. However, once the late emperor passed away, these three important ministers became the thorn in the flesh and the thorn in the eye of the current emperor.

Among the three, Tian Wenjing was the luckiest, but also the unluckiest.

Fortunately, he died early, Yongzheng died ten years ago, the late emperor was in great pain, he was given the posthumous title "Duansu", and a shrine was specially built for him in Henan.

Unfortunately, Tian Wenjing's grave was flattened by the current emperor after his death, which is no different from a setback.

So much so that now Tian Wenjing doesn't even have a grave.

"Then Li Wei, as the late emperor's confidant, not only holds great power but also has a great reputation among the people, but didn't the emperor make a decree to demolish Li Wei's ancestral hall and statues in West Lake when he went to the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Ertai was born in Manchuria, what happened in the end? I don't know how many people were involved in the big case of the Hubei party back then."

"So what about Zhang Tingyu, the emperor's teacher? Didn't the emperor confiscate his home!"

Hao Futai's mouth was spewing saliva like a machine gun, saying that since the current emperor came to the throne, except for the officials he personally selected, no one else has come to a good end.

In order to crack down on dissidents, a literary prison was set up, and together with the literary prison, no matter whether it was an important member of the Han Dynasty, whether it was a royal family or not, which one could escape?

"The emperor has been in power for [-] years, and he has gone against the law. He has long lost his heroism when he was young. Fu Zhongtang is loyal to the country, and now he has also ended up in prison."

The more Hao Futai talked, the more excited he became. Apart from accusing the emperor of being incapable of governing and being greedy for luxury and pleasure, he also said that the emperor was very happy.

Now the Huguang Incident has been stirred up and the three provinces have been corrupted. In order to calm down the Xinghan bandit army, various places have increased their salaries one after another, and people's grievances are boiling.

Speaking of the pain, this Master Futai, who even wanted to fart and wanted to go back to his homeland, had a look of grief and inexplicable indignation.

Songchun was silent, what the governor of Jiangxi said was indeed true, but what does it have to do with him?
Why did the old cousin of the six sons pretend to be the clan, intending to rebel?
How could his well-behaved General Jiang Ning be arrested!
Hao Futai had already prepared the answer, but a newspaper popped out of his sleeve like a magic trick.

"The doubts in the general's heart are all in this newspaper!"

"newspaper?"

Songchun took the newspaper that the governor of Jiangxi said in surprise, unfolded it, and gasped in shock.

But there was a line of large characters written on the top of the newspaper - "Three comments on the thief Chen Jialuo!"
