Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 86 Let's frame the traitor together!

In fact, Wang Zhongxiao already has ironclad evidence that can prove that Obai has defected to Wu Sangui!This ironclad evidence is his elder brother Wang Jizhen, but Wang Jizhen can't show up for the time being, because once he shows up, he will bring news that makes the little Emperor Kangxi tremble. He is going to join hands with his mentor and mentor to set up a trap to frame the treacherous.

When the time came, the little emperor would be afraid, angry, and angry, wouldn't that treacherous Tu Hai's head have to move?
However, Tu Hai, a traitor, was really "too treacherous". He refused to confess his crime honestly, and even climbed onto Suo'etu's thigh and became the veteran of the Suo Party.Moreover, the Empress Dowager seemed to give him a little help, preventing him from falling into the abyss immediately.And the little emperor seems to have given Suo'etu an "observation period". It seems that if there is no solid evidence, this traitor may not die for a while.

This treacherous sycophant is immortal, and the Qing Dynasty may not die either.

And the death of the traitor in the Qing Dynasty should start from Tuhai!
Having made up his mind, Wang Zhongxiao will not go to Zhang Luodongtang to open the house today, but quietly went to the mansion of his mentor Mingzhu alone.

When he arrived, construction was underway next to Mingzhu's mansion. This was the first phase of the expansion project of the Ming Mansion, and it was in full swing, so it was a bit noisy.So Mingzhu invited Wang Zhongxiao directly into her study, closed the door, and the master and apprentice began to plot how to eradicate adultery for the country!
"Teacher, this Tuhai seems to be getting very close to Suo'etu recently. Suo'etu is the Queen's uncle!"

"Hmph!" Mingzhu snorted after hearing what the student said, "Suo'etu Ratuhai did it just to block the way of his teacher, and for Latuhai he also found the Empress Dowager, please The empress dowager came forward to speak for him!"

Wang Zhongxiao asked: "Teacher, do you know what the Empress Dowager said?"

Mingzhu said: "The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, she just said that it was the late emperor who fished Tu Hai out of the pit of ransacking his home and dismissing him from office, and that the late emperor spoke for Tu Hai when he was dying!"

"Oh"

Wang Zhongxiao already understood.

Bumbutai didn't "catch" Tuhai, but he didn't "step on" Tuhai either. He just asked Kangxi to observe again.

After all, there is no real news that Oboi voted for Wu, and there is no real news that Tu Hai is Aobai's best friend.

"Teacher," Wang Zhongxiao asked thoughtfully, "have you found the person who shouted outside the imperial pharmacy to warn Oboi that there was an ambush?"

Mingzhu shook her head: "Where can I find it? Weishi, Duolong, Eunuch Gui, and Guanyinbao are almost dying of worry. There are too many people entering and leaving Qianqing Palace that day, and there are many things that day, no one cares at all." Who came and who didn't, I don't even have a clue to find someone now."

It turned out that Kangxi had always wanted to dig out the dangerous people around him, but he didn't let Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and his son participate. Obviously, this pair of "Lu Bu and his son" was not the most trusted person of Emperor Kangxi.

"Then" Wang Zhongxiao pondered for a moment, "Teacher, where was Tuhai that day?"

"Tuhai?" Mingzhu was taken aback, looked at Wang Zhongxiao and said, "Shikai, do you think it was Tuhai who yelled?"

"It's possible!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "It sounds a bit like it!"

"Impossible," Mingzhu shook her head, "At that time, Tu Hai was drafting an imperial edict in the duty room outside the Longzong Gate, and with him was Zhou Chang who was enshrined in the inner three courtyards. And when he left the duty room as a teacher, he also It was inside. When the teacher arrived at the South Study Room, Oboi had already fled."

Longzongmen is just opposite Jingyunmen. When you come out from Qianqingmen, turn right to Longzongmen, and turn left to Jingyunmen.The fighting that day mainly took place outside Qianqingmen and Jingyunmen, and there was no fighting outside Longzongmen, where the duty house of the Inner Third Court was located.

In addition, because when Oboi was in power, the three inner courts were actually attached to the meeting of kings and ministers to carry out their work, so there were usually not many people in the duty room outside Longzong's gate.When Oboi was expelled, there were only Tuhai and Mingzhu, two bachelors and bachelors, in the duty room outside the Longzong gate, and Zhou Chang, the enshrined priest, was on duty.

And Tuhai's alibi is Mingzhu and Zhou Chang.
"Teacher," Wang Zhongxiao said, "what if...if the student can persuade that Zhou Gongfu to change his confession?"

"What?" Mingzhu was startled, and stared blankly at Wang Zhongxiao, "You want to frame Tu Hai?"

Wang Zhongxiao nodded and said: "Teacher, Tu Hai is a traitor, a traitorous party of Oboi. We are loyal ministers. Loyalty and traitor have always been incompatible! Besides, when this traitor framed loyal ministers, he always used all means. Extremely. Could it be that we loyal ministers can't use some official means to fight traitors in a proper manner? If we behave in a proper manner in everything we do, can we fight traitors?"

"This." Mingzhu frowned.

Wang Zhongxiao said again: "Teacher, Tuhai belongs to Oboi, and Oboi probably took refuge in Wu Sangui, so Tuhai is Wu Sangui's! Teacher, do you want to fight Wu Sangui in a fair and aboveboard way without resorting to any means?
But can this Wu Sangui behave so well?Wouldn't he use Tuhai to bring assassins into the palace to kill the emperor?You let Tuhai stay with the emperor, can this be considered a loyal minister? "

"Kill, kill the emperor?" Mingzhu gasped, "This is impossible! We loyal ministers will never put the emperor in danger. But... that Zhou Chang seems to be Tu Hai's confidant, he is willing to betray Tu Hai? "

"Yes!" Wang Zhongxiao smiled, "Tuhai is not Zhou Chang's biological father, why would he not sell it? Besides, Tuhai is in danger now, and he can't protect himself, so he can't do him any good. If the teacher If you want to take him into account, what else is he not willing to sell?"

"Okay!" Mingzhu finally made up his mind, nodded heavily, "Shikai, you are right! Those of us who are loyal ministers must not let the treacherous party run rampant in the court, let alone put the emperor in danger!

Shikai, I will leave it to you to persuade Zhou Chang! "

"Teacher, don't worry, give the students three days, and the students will definitely pull this kid Zhou Chang over!"

Zhou Chang, whose name is Peigong, is from Jingmen, Hubei. He is in his 30s and is almost forty. Kelp brought to Beijing.However, he didn't become a high-ranking official, only got an errand of "enshrining in the inner three courtyards", or "walking in the inner three courtyards".

However, Tu Hai still regarded this "Master Zhou" very highly, and Zhou Chang would draft all the edicts that Tu Hai needed to draft.Sometimes Tu Hai was too lazy to write, so he simply asked Zhou Chang to imitate his own handwriting.

After going back and forth, Zhou Chang imitated Tu Hai's own handwriting so that it could be a real one, and even Tu Hai struggled to recognize it himself!

In addition, Tu Hai will also discuss matters in the officialdom with him. Who to flatter, who to step on, who can be accepted as a dog, and who must stay far away to avoid being implicated.

It can be said that Zhou Chang is Tu Hai's number one confidant!
But this "number one confidant" doesn't get much money!When Oboi monopolized power before, the inner three courts were Qingshui yamen.Tuhai couldn't bear to let him be his confidant, so he didn't recommend him to go fishing.

Now the inner three courtyards are worth a lot!But Tuhai himself was on the verge of collapse!Now every day, he thinks about how to wash himself clean, how to hold Suo Ertu's thigh tightly, and how to suppress Mingzhu, a villain.He didn't have the heart to think about taking Zhou Chang to get money at all!
It doesn't matter if Tuhai doesn't make money, he has a solid foundation, and in his early years he also managed the criminal department that specializes in corruption and perverting the law, so he has enough money.But Zhou Chang, who was in his thirties and a small Beijing official without an imperial examination background, suffered a lot.

Although it is not enough to make ends meet, after so many years of being a poor official in Beijing, he has no savings. He can't buy a house in Beijing, and of course he can't afford a concubine.

What's worse is that Tu Hai, who promoted him, has already carried the sign of Aobai's henchman on his back, and what will he do when he is about to fall at any time?Could it be that he went back to Hubei empty-handed?Or do you want to find a usury loan from the big gangsters in the outer city before Tuhai is down, and then buy a county magistrate?With Tuhai's face, there is always a discount, right?

When night fell, Zhou Chang was thinking while walking on Caishikou Street outside Xuanwu Gate—he lived nearby!A house in a good location can’t be rented by a miserable Beijing official like him. If he lived outside the city, the commute to work would be too far away, so after looking around, he found Caishikou here. It’s close to the inner city, and the rent is not expensive. , It's quite lively during the day, but it's not good at all. There is always a gloomy feeling when walking on Caishikou Street at night.

Today Zhou Chang feels very wrong, it seems that someone is following behind him and is getting closer and closer!
This frightened Zhou Chang, and he didn't dare to look back, so he could only speed up his pace.

Two days ago, that unlucky Bumbleshan just had a bad job at the vegetable market!Dahao's head was chopped off with a single knife, and he died with regret, shouldn't it be.
Zhou Chang was thinking wildly, when suddenly someone shouted behind him: "Zhou Chang, you are under arrest!"

Big Luo Luo begging for the first order, today at 12 noon, see you there!
