Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 145: Examination, torture, laughter and laughter are not the strong point of a famous minister, a few words to let go
"Execute Li Fu."

Gao Qizhuo ordered.Seeing the man retreating with a set of torture instruments, Gao Qizhuo said to Li Fu again: "Ju Lai, yesterday I was a guest, and now I am a prisoner. It is really sad that we have been apart for three years in Yongzheng, and now we are in today's situation. ! In this case, I respectfully ask you, Brother Fu, to understand your brother's difficulties and not to conceal any questions or answers. Naturally, the Emperor will still have your favor after the trial is concluded. We are not people of grass and trees who should speak to you." This is all Dali. Gao Qizhuo spoke the old cliché of a temple judge, but he spoke it very sincerely, and even Sun Jiagan was moved.Lu Congzhou continued: "I summoned you today to inquire about the party you formed with Xie Jishi, Wu Ting, Huang Zhenguo, and Lu Shengnan to frame Tian Wenjing. We are only trying to close the case. As for what crime should be convicted, you are of very high status. For those who are high-ranking, in addition to our decision in accordance with the law, we will also submit the reasons to the six ministries for deliberation, and the emperor will personally make a decision."

"The prisoner's impeachment of Tian Wenjing is true, and so far the prisoner does not feel that there are any false accusations in the impeachment speech." Li Fuzhang knelt on the ground, stared at the four people in the hall, and said: "As for 'forming a party', I I don’t understand what it means? Xie Jishi was the same year as me, and he was also a member of the imperial court. He also impeached Tian Wenjing, which was his main authority. If I say that the circumstances of my accusation are wrong, Li Fu deserves it. When it comes to other things, it’s hard for Li Fu to admit it.”

Gao Qizhuo clicked the wood and asked sharply: "You and Wu Qing were Jinshi in the same year, and Xie Jishi is your disciple. It is obvious that Huang Zhenguo said many things about Tian Wenjing in Xinyang, so you came to Beijing to gather for a secret discussion." Impeachment. Lu Shengnan is from Guangxi and is from the same hometown as Xie Jishi. You have also been the governor of Guangxi for half a year, so you may not have been party aid to Lu Shengnan and Xie Jishi. Now that it has been exposed, what more can be said?" Li Fu put his hands on the ground and raised his head and said: "Gao Gong is also a man of reading and understanding! You and Li Wei worked in Chengdu together, and you were recommended by Li Wei to be an official. In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, you wrote a chapter to impeach Li Wei for being 'ignorant and ignorant'. Can you prove that you and Li Wei are unskilled?" Collided to frame Li Fu? Lu Congzhou was a member of the Ortai clan. Xie Jishi once made a public statement that Yunnan should not be repatriated. Did Ortai collude with Lu Congzhou to take revenge? Don't you feel blushing if you ask these words? What? What's more, when I left Yunnan to return to my post, I went directly to Luoyang. When I met Tian Wenjing in Luoyang, I didn't see Huang Zhenguo at all. How can I say that Huang Zhenguo and I colluded to murder Tian Wenjing?" Gao Qizhuo blushed when Li Fu asked him, and immediately calmed down. Zi Ruo said with a smile: "What a sharp tongue! Since you didn't come to Xinyang, how did you know that Huang Zhenguo's case was wronged by Tian Wenjing? After you arrived in Beijing, you, Xie Jishi and Wu Qing had a drink in Gaoxing Building , what were they talking about during the dinner? Tell us!" He slapped Tang Mu again.

"My lord," Li Fu didn't care about these false threats. He knelt straight and spoke plausibly, "Huang Zhenguo was wronged. The prisoner was told by Chen Xuehai, a member of the Ministry of Punishment. Although Huang Zhenguo is the same year as me, he and I don't have a close relationship. Friends of love. The Xinyang Mansion was well-off and the people were happy with their jobs. In the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign, Tian Wenjing reported outstanding achievements. In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, the court ordered to reward Huang Zhenguo with a higher rank. I said that Huang Zhenguo was incorruptible based on what the Di newspaper said. Tian Wenjing was mistaken. He used gangsters to frame the ball, and he himself impeached himself. My original point of impeachment was that he used gangsters to frame up corruption. What was wrong with him? As for drinking in Gaoxinglou, I said Tian Wenjing ravaged scholars and said he was incorrigible. Paranoid people, Xie Jishi and Wu Qing also felt the same way, but none of us mentioned the impeachment there. 'Collusion and deliberation' is even more nonsense. Chen Xuehai was also present at the time, and he knew it as soon as he asked. "

Lu Congzhou stared at Li Fu who was chatting, and felt that the accusation of "forming a clique for personal gain, and framing Tian Wenjing" was difficult to establish. He asked from the side: "You said that Huang Zhenguo was a good man who suffered injustice. Now, [-] stolen silver was found from Huang Zhenguo's residence. Another tea horse dealer, Hakka, accused Huang of selling tea secretly. Hakka's receipt has been recorded in the record. What else do you have to say now?" Li Fu said: "Huang Zhenguo has no close relationship with the prisoner. He has committed the stolen goods. This proves that the prison officer did mishear what he said and deserves the punishment he deserves. When your Excellency asked this question, the prison officer could only take the blame and have nothing else to say."

At this point, the question and answer had reached a deadlock. Gao Qizhuo, while conveying orders to Xie Jishi, said to Li Fu: "Ju Lai, you are in an unexpected situation now. You must carefully consider and uphold the holy will. Since you have made mistakes, you should reflect on yourself. If you apologize, Dali Temple can submit it on your behalf."

"How can Tian Wenjing be called a good person?" Li Fu stood up and walked away without thinking, saying as he walked: "Even if I were to report, I would only correct Huang Zhenguo's case. He is the governor of Henan, and Huang is the prefect of Xinyang. , he appointed Huang Zhenguo and repeatedly commended him, is he not responsible?"

Then Xie Jishi was brought in. He was slightly taller than Li Fu, with a broad face and a pale face. He only wore a dusty cloth robe in the cold weather. He was starched and spotless, and his braids were neatly arranged. No mess at all.After the execution, he carefully arranged the long hair on his forehead, raised his head, and looked at the four court judges quietly.At a glance, it is clear that this is a more difficult character to deal with.Because he was a junior official and had no friendship with him, Gao Qizhuo wanted to knock him down, struck the case suddenly and shouted:
"Xie Jishi, do you know your guilt?"

"do not know."

"Did you have any involvement in the impeachment of Tian Wenjing?"

"Yes." Xie Jishi tilted his head and thought for a while: "-That was in May last year-Why, I can't get involved with him?"

Xie Jishi withstood Gao Qizhuo with just one sentence.He is the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although his official rank is only the fourth rank, he is still an official. It is his duty to impeach lawbreakers. Of course, he has the right to participate in Tian Wenjing.Gao Qizhuo was a man who saw opportunities very quickly. He changed his tone and said, "Of course you can participate, but you can't do it with selfish motives! Let me ask you, who ordered you to participate in the impeachment of Tian Wenjing?"

"I was instructed by Confucius and Mencius." Xie Jishi said calmly, "I have read the classics and history, and I followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Throughout the ages, how can a violent and surly person like Tian Wenjing sit in a stately position without being subject to any influence?" Impeached by a gentleman?"

As soon as he spoke, Gao Qizhuo and Lu Congzhou looked at each other, and the soldiers and subordinates in the hall were also talking among themselves.Sun Jiagan was already very impatient when he saw that Li Fu's interrogation and answering questions were like child's play. At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Xie Jishi attentively. He thought to himself: This man has a good character, why didn't he recognize him earlier?While he was thinking wildly, Gao Qizhuo sneered and said: "You are so loud. You have read a few classics and history, and can write a few eight-legged essays, so you call yourself a disciple of Confucius and Mencius!"

"I didn't say that I was a disciple. You ask me and answer, I was taught by Confucius and Mencius! As for my knowledge, it is not in this case. You have no other skills except Feng Shui and Yu, so naturally you can't tell me anything about it. "

"You are presumptuous and bold! Our headquarters has the right to punish you!"

"Propagating the holy doctrine of Confucius and Mencius is an upright thing, and there is nothing presumptuous about it. I have read the books of sages since I was a child, lectured and wrote books. "Notes on Guben Daxue" and "Zhongyong Shu" are all written by me. I only know how to be loyal in everything, and see A traitor who refuses to attack is not a loyal minister!"

Gao Qizhuo couldn't help being furious. The thing he was most proud of in his life was his study of public opinion. From the beginning, Xie Jishi said that he was worthless and low-class. How could he endure it? He slapped the sound tree hard and shouted loudly. : "Exercise the punishment!"

"twitter!"

The officials at Dali Temple had probably never beaten an official before. They agreed with excitement, threw down a pair of oak sticks in front of Xie Jishi, and stared at Gao Qizhuo, waiting for him to give orders.Gao Qizhuo suddenly felt that something was wrong, but when it came to the matter, he had no reason to go down the stairs in vain.He was about to order the execution. Lu Congyi, who was beside him, slapped Tang Mu on Monday and shouted loudly: "Xie Jishi, are you going to attack me or not?" The officials from the Ministry of Punishment he brought immediately cheered:
"Quick move, quick move, quick move!"

Xie Jishi glanced at Hong Shi and Sun Jiagan in despair, and suddenly burst into tears sadly. While crying, he said: "You guys fight... fight! Holy Ancestor... open your eyes and take a look at these unworthy officials." How did they destroy your inheritance..."

When he shouted, everyone was stunned.It turns out that there was a decree in the first year of Yongzheng that no matter what the occasion, as long as the name of the Kangxi Temple was mentioned, all civil and military officials were not allowed to sit and listen, but all had to stand up and pay tribute.Sun Jiagan stood up for the first time, Hongshi also stood up in a hurry, Gao Qizhuo and Lu Congzhou also stood up.Not knowing the reason, all the government officials in the hall stood in a daze, confused and at a loss.Xie Jishi didn't even raise his head, and said "Holy Ancestor" in his mouth, and his mournful voice was very sad: "...You old man only passed away a few years ago, and these people can't remember your words..." "Shengwu Ji" is completed by you. It was written with a lifetime of hard work, but now the ministers have forgotten your teachings - "A person who is not a saint is a perverse minister. Although he has talents, he cannot use them; those who talk about benefits are those who forget their justice, and even if they gather the law, they are also sycophants." "——This is not your teaching, the Holy Ancestor... Isn't Tian Wenjing a minister who forgets his loyalty to his leader?Isn’t Gao Qizhuo a non-sage and perverse person?Now they are sitting high and high, but they are here to interrogate me, a pedantic scholar!My holy ancestor... take a look at these things... can they be considered good people?Oh... Wu..." Thanks to Xie Jishi's good memory, while crying, he quoted at length from the chapter "Distinguishing traitors and identifying loyalties" in Kangxi's "Shengwu Ji", flowing freely like flowing water without restraint. He was sluggish, and with the defense of his memorial, he stormed the court of judges, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty scolded everyone: "Now all the people in the Manchu Dynasty are left, Yu Yuna fabricated auspiciousness, and falsely reported his political achievements to deceive the present. How dare you As soon as he said it, they started to criticize each other, and they will not give up until they die... Holy Ancestor... I am so sad that you cannot rest in peace..." At this point, Sun Jiagan was sweating from crying. Gao Qizhuo had already become irritable after hearing this. It was easy to wait for a moment to speak, gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"Torture, see if you're going to do it or not?"

The government officials were angry and funny. They put the stick on Xie Jishi's leg very skillfully and pulled it back hard.Xie Jishi was a frail scholar. His face immediately turned as white as snow. He straightened up a little and shouted: "You pinch me to death! - Those who instigated me are Confucius, Mencius, and the Holy Ancestor -" He suddenly After fainting, he was still mumbling, and when he listened, he was still reciting Kangxi's temple name, so everyone had to get up and listen.

"No more torture." Sun Jiagan left his seat, looked at the unconscious Xie Jishi, bowed to Gao Qizhuo, and said, "I want to go back and write a book to protect these people." He bowed to Hongshi again, and then Withdrew.Hongshi chased him out of the lobby, grabbed Sun Jiagan who was about to get into the sedan chair, and said, "Jiagan, I know you best. Be calm, don't rush into action, and don't do it arrogantly. The emperor's weather is not good these days." Sun Jiagan glanced at Hongshi and said politely: "Thank you for taking care of me. This is obviously a literary prison. As a censor, how can I just sit back and watch? Not for this case, I have a lot more to say to Chen Zuozhi. As a person, Censor, I don’t dare to speak looking at the emperor’s temper. Thank you, Third Master.” After saying that, he did not go back to the Yamen or Changchun Garden, but rushed back to the mansion to get a pen and inkstone and start drafting the memorial.

Dali Temple tortured Li Fu for questioning, but Li Wei and Hongli were ordered to have a conversation with Zeng Jing in the beekeeping aisle.When Zeng Jing was arrested, she deeply hated Zhang Xi for betraying her teacher, and she was determined to die without saying a word.The governor of Hunan was demoted to the second level of probation because of such a serious rebellion case in the province. After he arrested Zeng Jing, he did not interrogate him. He ordered Zeng Jing to be given [-] ounces a day and a bowl of cold water, and he was sent back to the prison to be imprisoned.After four days, her body was covered with sores and blood scars, and she suffered from constant diarrhea. Zeng Jing was so old that she had no choice but to die or survive.A few days later, Zhang Xi arrived in Sichuan from Qinghai.The holy order came again, and Yu Hongtu was ordered to be entrusted with another mission to return to Beijing, and to escort the second prisoner Zeng and Zhang to Beijing on the way.When Yu Hongtu took Zhang Xitong to Hunan, Zeng Jing was as thin as a handful of dry wood.

But Yu Hongtu was very understanding of the world. If he wanted to get hold of a prisoner, the first thing he would do was to imprison his master and his apprentice together in the same room, and let the two of them fall out and quarrel all night long.The next day he came to persuade Zeng Jing himself and took his doctor to see Zeng Jing.He was really able to let go of the feudal arrogance and personally provided soup, medicine, food and clothing, and never said a word about the situation until he was released from custody.They were guarded and guarded along the way, and they were tight on the inside and loose on the outside.The attentiveness was about to subside, and even the escorts changed into long casual clothes. Master Zeng and Master Zhang greeted each other, but if there were any requests, they were immediately obeyed, just like servants.Yu Hongtu was in the same car with them, and occasionally talked about studying poetry, playing chess records, and so on. After more than ten days, he started calling "Old Yu", "Old Zeng", and "Xiao Zhangzi".Seeing the capital approaching, Yu Hongtu showed a sad look on his face, and sometimes wiped tears at the corner of the car for no reason.The two of them didn't take it seriously at first, but after seeing it more often, they couldn't help but be surprised.Zeng Jing endured it for a few days and couldn't help but ask him: "Master Yu, you have been unhappy these days. Is it because it is difficult to walk on the snowy road?"

"What's wrong with the heavy snow?" Yu Hongtu raised the window of the carriage and looked outside and said, "As long as you are not cold or hungry, all scholars will love this snowy day. Look, the mound in front belongs to King Yan. Golden Terrace, around this bend, a frozen river passes by, which is the capital's post station, Luhe Post Station. The days ahead will be difficult, the future will be poor, and misfortunes are unpredictable for the two gentlemen. I am not a person of grass and trees, how can I be emotionless? "

The two of them followed his gaze and looked outside, only to see six colorful snowflakes, a world cut out of jade and ice in the distant village near Shutou Tang Ao, and the old willow branches with snow hanging in full bloom like pear blossoms, gently blowing in the wind. Swaying... After a period of deathly silence, Zeng Jing sighed and said: "This is driven by nature. This is the end of the matter. It's just death."

"You have committed a heinous crime. I can only talk about friendship along the way. I, Yu, will definitely not be able to save you two." Yu Hongtu first said that the future was very hopeless and kept his mouth shut. , leaving the two people desperate and helpless.When he had enough time to move, he said again: "Every time I think about this level, my heart is like a knife, but there is nothing I can do. The letter you wrote made the emperor so angry that he didn't sleep for several nights, for fear that you He died in Hunan, so I asked Youli to be sent to Beijing. But along the way, I feel that you are just astray. God has a good life, is there really no way to do it? "

Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi's "determination" had already been secretly eroded by Yu Hongtu's soft skills. Now they were being pushed and pulled by his eloquent tongue like a child. They were already fascinated by it, but they still couldn't put down their face to ask. "Method", he just lowered his head and sighed and shed tears. "Who said we were destined to be friends?" Yu Hongtu's eyes shone faintly, and he moved his body from the carriage, as if he was deep in thought, and said slowly: "If I want to survive now, I have tried all kinds of tricks, but to no avail. , there are only two ways to try."

"What method?" Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi's eyes suddenly shone with hope, and they asked in unison. After asking, they both felt embarrassed, couldn't help but blush again, and lowered their heads.

Yu Hongtu was full of pride and had made a great contribution to Yongzheng, but he pretended to have a sad face, holding tooth flower seeds in his hands and muttered: "First, Zhang Xi and General Yue have a brotherly alliance, and they swear to live and die together. The emperor loves Zhongyue Zhongqi's army, and he And when leading troops outside, cuts are the most taboo. You must remember this, praise General Yue more for his loyalty and integrity, and remind the emperor." He coughed lightly, "The emperor is a strong-willed man, you must admit defeat and be convinced when you lose. You can't bring out any duplicity. If you fake it, the emperor will think you are teasing him, and that's it. If you are convinced, the emperor will think you are stubborn, and even 1 people want to kill you, but they can't do it." See the second meeting. The man nodded repeatedly, as if he was begging for work. Yu Hongtu, who thought he had understood the "holy will", hesitated a little, because he smiled and said: "The matter has come to this, a big mistake has been made, and it is a matter of hard work and worry. It’s all about doing your best. It also depends on fate and your luck. If you do as I say, there is a [-]% chance of survival.”

... At this moment, facing Hongli and Li Wei who were sitting on the table, Yu Hongtu and Li Tingyi, the minister of punishment, Zeng quietly knelt beside the warm earth dragon, thinking hard about questions to Yongzheng.An inexplicable sadness suddenly arose in his heart: What if he had been deceived by Yu Hongtu, surrendered, lowered his head and still refused to let go, then it would really be called "draining all the water from the Xijiang River, and it is difficult to wash away the shame of today"!He secretly glanced at the four people sitting on the seat. All of them had serious expressions and no smiles at all.I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart and a shiver in my body.

"I want to ask you about the decree," Hongli asked. "You said in Zhongqi's book on Shangyue, 'Where moral justice lies, the people will not disobey it; where the people's hearts depend, Heaven will never violate it. Since ancient times, emperors have been able to achieve great achievements and build great undertakings, so as to reference the heaven and the earth and follow them for all generations. Do you have any selfish prejudices in your chest? 'You were born in this dynasty, don't you know that your ancestors were destined by fate and the people's hearts? You still say this, what do you mean?" He glanced at these two living treasures, one Dong Heng. Confusing, obtuse and ignorant, they both look like a cautious and rustic country bumpkin. They don't have the slightest bit of spirit, so they can't help but turn away in disgust.I thought: Huang Ama still thinks that the country and the imperial court have few affairs, so she is wasting her time with such a fool, and she still wants to write a book about it!After thinking about it, Zeng Jing kowtowed and replied: "These words of Mi Tian Cong Fei are general remarks. Mi Tian Chong Fei grew up in the Chubian Valley, in his hometown, in his hometown, and in the surrounding areas. There is no famous person in the court, so he is extremely ignorant. This time I went to In Beijing, Master Yu talked about it all the way, and then we learned that this dynasty started from Emperor Taizu Gao who was extremely powerful and established the foundation of the king. Emperor Taizong Wen continued his career and unified the countries; Emperor Emperor Zhang established the ultimate rule and cared for China and foreign countries. The Holy Ancestor The benevolent Emperor is deeply benevolent and generous, and it extends all over the sea. As for my emperor, the people of heaven are wise and powerful, and they have been extremely courteous and happy. This is the destiny of the people. In the past, he was a repeat offender and fell into ignorance. It is not Whatever your intention is, come from outside the Holy World."

Hongli nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but glance at Yu Hongtu: He was really an official who could manage such a pair of prisoners in a few days.He seemed to be a little happy, moved his body and asked again: "I want to ask you: The letter says: 'A natural person has different principles. A sergeant is upright, and the yin and yang combine to be a human being; the four obstacles are dangerous, and the evil is evil. Those who are called Yi Di. Under the Yi Di are beasts. The name of the beast is because it lives in a remote place and the language is unintelligible, so it is called "Yidi". It does not mean that people are called people when they are born in the Central Plains, and they are not people when they are born in other places! If you follow this You said that only human beings live in the Central Plains, why are there more pigs, dogs, horses and sheep than humans? Even among humans, there are still rebellious and rebellious things like you, who have lost all conscience, destroyed human principles, and are worse than animals?" It was an extremely cheerful, vicious and sharp question, which suited Yongzheng's temperament best, and it also suited Hongli's intention at the moment.After asking, Yin sipped tea and sat cross-legged, looking at Zeng Jing with admiration.Zeng Jing was startled when she heard this. She remembered Yu Hongtu's sincere confession, and now she realized that to be a humble person, you should not have any sense of shame.The shame is gone and everything can be said freely.He simply burst into tears, kowtowed and said, "This is all due to the great sin of not studying enough, not being able to understand the principles clearly, mistakenly dividing Hua and Yi based on geographical distance, and not knowing how to divide Hua and Yi based on the good and evil of people. The Holy Ancestor was buried in heaven. When the edict came, even in our deep mountains and poor valleys, the people were running around and wailing as if they were mourning for their heirs. They were stubborn and ignorant, and they also stopped eating, drinking, and crying..." He shed tears and blushed for a moment, "But At that time, I didn’t even know why. If it weren’t for the lofty virtues of the Holy Spirit and the great benevolence of the emperor, how could it have influenced so many people? Just because I had always seen the distinction between Huayi and Huayi in the Spring and Autumn Annals, and misunderstood the essence of the scriptures, I issued the Arrogant and contradictory words... Only today did I know that the "Spring and Autumn" said that Chu did not respect the king, so he fought against it. It was completely different from the situation of Longxing in this dynasty. The essence of today's Twenty-Five is spent in Yi and Di, and China is wasting away. , empty and empty, is the truth. Mencius not only claimed that Shun and King Wen were born from the barbarians of the East and West, but also commented that Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai were beasts without fathers and kings. So are there no barbarians in the Central Plains? Are there no saints in the wilderness? It’s just that Just use the 'heart' to distinguish the barbarians. Therefore, although the heavy criminals were once the same beasts, they are now inspired by the emperor's golden elixir, and fortunately they have been reincarnated into human beings." Zeng Jing's nonsense can be seen by any classics historian. And know.But since Yongzheng had already gone wrong, he had no choice but to let everyone follow.Fortunately, Zeng Jing was well versed in classics and history, and grasped the word "heart" and worked hard to write an article to reverse the verdict. Although there were twists and turns, there were ambiguities, but the theory was finally clear and unobstructed.Hongli couldn't help but smile happily, but he couldn't help but groan when he thought that these questions and answers would be compiled into a book and published to the world.Just as he was about to ask further questions, Li Hansan hurried in from the outside and whispered in his ear: "Long Live is getting angry right now. Master Zhu asked me to go in and calm him down."

"Well, with whom?"

Li Hansan took a step forward, whispered "Sun Jiagan" to Hongli, and stepped back. When he looked at Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi curiously, Zhang Xi also looked over, and their eyes met. They were both shocked and couldn't move. Face.Hongli did not dare to delay the time any longer, so he stood up, put on his clothes, and said: "This is the emperor's draft of the interrogation. Li Wei will keep it here so that the scribes can record the confessions. Zeng Jing, the honor and disgrace of life and death belong to you." In one thought, I was able to recall your confession and get rid of any doubts. The emperor personally asked for your confession in thousands of letters, something that has never happened since the beginning of the world. Don't make any mistakes again." After saying this, he came out and stood before the Prison God. In front of the temple gate, he mounted his horse in a stirrup, whipped his horse, and headed west with Li Hansan.

Yongzheng was indeed furious.The news of Sun Jiagan's letter was reported to him secretly by Lu Congzhou that day.Yongzheng had long known that Sun Jiagan had different opinions on many government affairs, even Li Fu. Yongzheng originally loved Li Fu very much, and he also hoped that someone would come out and say a few words, thinking that he would be merciful.Therefore, Lu Congzhou reported it secretly, and Yongzheng smiled and said: "That is a censor with a heart of iron, and I can't stop him. You just have to scrutinize it strictly according to the original decree."

But when Sun Jiagan came in with a sign and presented his memorial, Yongzheng couldn't laugh anymore.The folds were made of plain paper with yellow labels on them. They were a thick stack. Yongzheng read them out and said with a smile: "What a good article. I have written so many-" He stopped short before he could finish his words, because it was not good at all. It’s not Bao Li Fu, so the title is eye-catching:

In order to stop Na Yi, strike down the Western troops, and have relatives and relatives, Sun Jiagan knelt down to perform the memorial.
Yongzheng's head buzzed, and he started reading bit by bit with his trembling hands.As he watched, a surge of anger surged up, and he threw the memorial to the ground with a "swipe" sound!He left the Nuan Pavilion and walked quickly in circles in the main hall with his hands behind his back. The eunuchs and maids in the palace were all trembling with fear.Sun Jiagan knelt in front of the partition of the Nuan Pavilion without raising his head. He had already felt the tense atmosphere of the impending outbreak of the power of Heaven so close to him. He took a deep breath and prepared for Yongzheng's thunder.Gao Wuyong was flustered for a while. Seeing that no one could talk to the minister, he quietly sneaked to the main room in the backyard and called Qiao Yindi over.

Yong Zheng seemed to be in an extremely conflicted mood. He walked a few steps with furrowed brows, turned around and glared at Sun Jiagan fiercely, then breathed a helpless sigh of relief, turned around, picked up his memorial and read it again. At a glance, he saw a few lines of words:

Nayi is a bad policy for the ages. He uses money to get an official position and uses his money to seek profit. What can't he do?The cruel, greedy and cruel officials are all born from this generation.That is to say, the humble minister said, "Don't you know, Your Majesty?"Knowing something wrong but not being able to do it is like seeing something good but not being able to do it.Emperor Zhongping disdained it, but now that the emperor is wise and intelligent, why would he still use it to mend sores and cut out the flesh?I very much suspect that the Emperor has an unethical desire to amass wealth and seek quick success...

Yongzheng only saw this, and was so angry that he threw the memorial away again.But within half a moment of pacing, he stopped suspiciously. He seemed a little embarrassed. He stared at Sun Jiagan again with hatred in his eyes. He wanted to pick up the memorial but stopped again.Yindi hurriedly picked it up and placed it on the table, then twisted a handful of hot towels and handed them over.Yong Zheng wiped it and threw down the towel, then sat down to watch again.After reading the section "Strike the Western Soldiers", he seemed to feel a little calmer, but when he saw the "Fellow and Blood" section, his face turned purple again, and the few lines of strong and thin small characters were dazzling, making people dizzy.

Akinases thought that he deserved the crime he deserved, but the crime brought him a bad name again. Although the former emperor had many sons, the brothers of each king were withered. How could the emperor lead the world to follow the Five Rites when he was so criticized? How can morality and justice demonstrate the late emperor's compassionate heart?

"Are you saying that I am unfilial?" Yong Zheng read this and could no longer suppress his anger. "Do you know how they treat me? You, a foreign minister, interfere in my housekeeping, you have suffered enough!"

Sun Jiagan has been holding on in an extremely tense atmosphere.As soon as Yong Zheng opened his mouth, he felt a lot more relaxed. He paused and said, "How dare I interfere with the family affairs of the Tian family? But since the eldest brother allowed it, seven of the emperor's brothers have suffered in prison, and the whole world has seen it. How can the Holy Ancestor’s spirit in heaven not be sad?”

"I am different from what you think!" Yong Zheng's voice was hoarse and dull, with a metallic vibrato, "The first brother and the second brother were handled by the late emperor himself, and I did not make it difficult for them. They were unfilial and disloyal, and they were so angry The late emperor had trouble sleeping and eating. Do you want me to take the blame for you? The Eighth Prince was a traitor and contacted foreign ministers to plot evil, which is obvious to the world! Why didn't you mention a word in the memorial? Huh?" This extremely ferocious question came out of Dantian, shocking The hall was buzzing.A little eunuch stood by the outer hall, his eyes blackened with nervousness, and he fainted from fright!Sun Jiagan bumped his head against the ground, but his tone was not impetuous. He pushed back and said: "The memorial is not to accuse them of their crimes. It is to draw the emperor's attention. In ancient times, there was the principle of 'Eight Discussions'. What are they doing?" He should not be punished, but the punishment should be moderate, and his power should be idle and dispersed so that he cannot do wrong. Why bother to create an excuse for the world to be disobedient?" When Yongzheng heard the word "rumor", he became even more angry and roared angrily. : "The unscrupulous people are spreading rumors and causing trouble. Are they my instigators?"

"Of course not. But if the emperor could handle things more appropriately, how could rats like Zeng Jing be able to spread rumors and cause trouble?"

"Okay! You're good for me!" Yong Zheng was so angry that he trembled all over. He grabbed an inkstone and smashed it into pieces with a "pop" sound. His roar echoed throughout the hall: "How are they going to punish me? Nightmare suppression, poisoning , assassination, slander, anything that is harmful to nature has never been done! If I punish you a little here, you will come out to stop Heng'er! What kind of loyal minister are you?" Sun Jiagan kowtowed repeatedly and said: "My lord, calm down. I didn't say that I shouldn't be punished. It’s just that since the emperor is the lord of the four seas, he should have the capacity to accommodate the four seas. Is there no sand in the rivers? It is inevitable that filth and evil will be hidden under the temples! For the emperor’s plan, and for the future generations of princes and grandsons in the world, the emperor has established a magnanimous plan. Why not set an example?" Before he could finish speaking, Yong Zheng had already shouted: "Get out!"

Sun Jiagan didn't wait for anyone to start a fight. He sighed, kowtowed three times, got up and left.

"return!"

Yong Zheng called out, but was a little discouraged when he saw that Sun Jiagan still looked calm and knelt down again calmly and calmly.He snorted and returned to the kang table, sitting there sulking like a child.At this time, Zhu Shi came to Dan Ningju and met Hongli who was walking as fast as a star at the entrance of the palace. After a while, the two of them walked into the palace.As soon as Hongli entered the door, he pretended to be shocked and said, "Isn't this Mr. Sun Yungong? What's wrong with you?" Zhu Shi gently placed a stack of documents on the case and said, "This is what I and Fang Bao just sorted out." The abbreviations of the memorial are all approved by the ministry’s third meeting - Yunzhi, please long live the decision."

"It seems that I am really going to be a 'little man'..." Yong Zheng stroked his shaved forehead and sighed sadly: "Li Fu formed a party to criticize me, saying that I was surrounded by small groups; Yang Mingshi opposed the change Tu Gui Liu advised me not to be deceived by sycophants; my thirteenth brother rode a whale, and I couldn't swallow my food, but my third brother laughed heartily! There were rumors among the people that I was wrong, and there were beasts like Zeng Jing. Dare to instigate rebellion against Yue Zhongqi... Now it's Sun Jiagan again, knocking on my door while I'm exhausted mentally and physically... Are we really going to betray our relatives and leave?" He snorted and pushed Sun Jiagan's note to Zhu Shi: "Look, this is Hanlin's handiwork. Different!”

Hongli hurriedly got behind Zhu Shi and was startled when he saw the three words "blood and flesh" in the title of the memorial. When he read it line by line, he pointed out that those ministers who pointed out that Yongzheng loved to amass money, trusted cruel officials, and thought that Fan Kedi was a "Party member" In other words, some Yunnan chieftains accused Yongzheng of accumulating money to fight the war, and he wanted to "return to his native land" instead of being able to appease Sui.Celing Arabtan sent envoys to Beijing with thoughtful etiquette, which could be determined by passing an imperial edict, but he insisted on "spending billions of trillions to suddenly raise an army."In other words, they are simply enslaved by greed for money, burning the money they have collected and having nowhere to put it, and starting another war for no reason!When talking about brothers later, the words are bold and even more unscrupulous.No matter which one, it is many times more intense than the "barking" of Li Fu and others.As he looked at it, sweat broke out on Hongli's forehead: What's going on?Zhu Shi, however, held the memorial, as if weighing it, and just remained silent.

"What do you think?" Yong Zheng was about to read the memorial and frowned, "How to deal with this criminal madman?"

"Long live..." When there was enough movement, Zhu Shi said softly: "Sun is indeed arrogant. But I...I admire his courage!"

Yong Zheng couldn't help laughing at this sentence. He looked at Sun Jiagan who was motionless on the ground and said, "I can't help but admire his courage."

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
