Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 410 Wandering Dragon Dance Royal Certificate

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

Kangxi held the pleading paper sent by the nine-door admiral Longkodo himself, with a gloomy expression.

This certificate was dictated by the mother of Gali, the former Governor of Liangjiang, and recorded by the Secretary of the Infantry Dutong Yamen, which said:
My son, Kari, ordered the cooks to poison me, intending to kill me.All these vicious acts are the result of the conspiracy of my youngest son Serqi and Gali's son Gandu.Yougali Yiserqi's son Gantai considered him his son, and ordered his wife to raise him privately.Youga Li's family is very rich, and they live in Hexiwu with their wives and close relatives. I don't know what they mean.Kari is treacherous and vicious, please punish him formally.

Kari was originally after meritorious service, Kangxi always treated Yourong.It is not easy for outsiders to say that Gali is Kangxi's nurse brother, and Gali's mother is Kangxi's nurse, which is actually a rumor.

The wet nurses and nannies selected by the royal family are all covered in the upper three flags, but the Gali family is on the red flag of Manchuria.

Gali is a relative of the emperor, and as mentioned in the Zhu Zhuan given to him by Kangxi, he is "the son born to the concubine's mother and younger brother".His father, Pu Shan, was the younger brother of Concubine Ningxi of Shunzhi and the uncle of Prince Yu Fuquan.He is tall and Fuquan's cousin.

Shunzhi had no legitimate sons, and Fuquan was the elder among the concubines, and Kangxi's current throne was not his turn.

Before Shunzhi died, he asked the two little brothers about their aspirations on the sickbed.Fuquan replied "willing to be a good minister", while Kangxi replied: "willing to imitate Huang Ama as a wise king!"

Although this is a child's joke, it is not the main reason why Shunzhi established Kangxi as the reserve.But in Kangxi's heart, he always remembered his elder brother's "graciousness of abdication".

Kangxi may have had some thoughts of loving Wu and Wu in the respect and promotion of Kari before.It's just that Kari is really unsatisfactory, and he has both ends of the mouse's tail, and his heart can be punished.

As early as when Suo'etu took power, Gali had private contacts with Suo'etu, and Kangxi had reprimanded him at that time.A few years ago in Jiangnan, Gali, the second elder brother and the eighth elder brother were a little unclear.

More than ten years ago, Kangxi was able to tolerate Kari's fawning over the elder brother, the minister, and reprimanded him for a while; after more than ten years, his heart is no longer as tolerant as when he was in his prime.

However, even if the evidence of Gali's corruption and extortion of bribes is convincing, Kangxi only approved the punishment of dismissal from office.

When people get old, they become suspicious and irritable, but they also become more nostalgic and nostalgic for old love.

Even if you are the emperor, you can't stop the sorrow of the approaching old age.

Although Gali was greedy for ink, Kangxi personally praised his "filial piety". This is also an important reason why he never severely punished Gali for his crime of greed for ink.

Kangxi has always governed the country with "benevolence and filial piety", and there are many words of praise for "filial sons" among civil and military officials, including Gali.

Now, the "filial son" Gali, who was highly praised by Kangxi himself, has exposed the crime of killing his mother. How can Kangxi not be angry?This is not slapping him in the face, what is it?
After Kangxi saw it, he couldn't help jumping up against the case, and said angrily: "Bastard, there are such utterly devoid of conscience in the world!"

Long Kedo knelt in front of the emperor, bowed his head and dared not speak.

Long Kedo knew quite well about himself, the emperor's brother-in-law, so he knew what Kangxi was upset about.He didn't dare to get into trouble at this juncture, so he just bowed his head and said nothing, using the word "mo".

Kangxi stood up and remembered Gali's mother, Jue Luo Shi, who was a very reasonable old woman, and said: "How is Jue Luo Shi now, is the old man still tough?"

Long Keduo replied: "Going back to Lord Long Live, I feel that Luo Shi was blocked and frightened before coming to the Yamen. The situation is not good. After recording the complaint, there is something wrong. He Shuo's son-in-law and Taipusi Minister Cao Yongcao have sent A doctor was hired to look after him in the yamen."

Kangxi couldn't help frowning, and said: "Cao Yong is not in the yamen of Taipu Temple, how come he ran to the yamen of the infantry capital?"

Long Keduo replied: "Going back to Lord Long Live, according to Mr. Cao, he met on the way. He saw that Gandu, the son of Gali, led people to stop Jue Luoshi, and there was something disrespectful in his behavior, so he came forward to ask. Entrusted by the Jue Luo family, Fang escorted him to the yamen of the capital of the infantry."

Although Long Ke's words are concise and to the point, he also uses some spring and autumn style of writing. The words "disrespect" and "escort" reveal the danger in it.

It was still broad daylight, and in the inner city of the most benevolent place in Kyoto, there were rebellious sons and grandchildren who committed crimes in the streets.

In the past ten or twenty years, after the princes and elder brothers have grown up one after another, Kangxi also has a knot in his heart.In the past dynasties, there have been fewer emperors who killed their fathers and ascended the throne?

In the early years, when Emperor Kangxi drove to the west, he was almost buried outside the Great Wall because of the lack of supplies. Fortunately, Gali, the censor of Zuodu, supervised the transportation of soldiers and rations in the middle of the road, and arrived at the imperial camp first, which relieved the crisis of food shortage.

After a detailed investigation, although there was no evidence to prove that the disaster of food shortage was caused by the crown prince who was in charge of the capital and supervised the country, a thorn was deeply pierced in Kangxi's heart.

As he grew older, fear grew in him for his older sons.

Yes, the heart of fear, although he himself would never admit it, but the defense that is deep in his bones is becoming more and more irresolute.

It is for this reason that the "Tuoheqi Meeting Drinking Case" caused such a big disturbance, and all the relevant military officers of the Eight Banners were punished, and none of them was spared.

On the contrary, the civil servants who were connected in series and jointly recommended the eighth elder brother as the reserve, on the contrary, there was a lot of thunder and little rain.

Because the civil servants are just playing lip service and have no power to shake the sky; the military positions of the various garrisons in the capital are combined, but they may directly threaten the life of the emperor.That is something that no emperor can tolerate.

Jue Luoshi is old, her son hates her and wants to put him to death; she is also old, how many of my brothers are selfless, I am afraid that someone has already thought about it...

Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't bear it any longer, walked to the imperial case, drew up a pen and drew up a decree, threw it in front of Longkodo and said, "I will pass on my decree, arrest Gali and others immediately, the third division..."

He originally wanted to talk about the joint trial of the three divisions, but changed his words in the middle of the sentence: "Design the Department of Penalties to conduct a quick trial, and I must know the details before leaving Beijing!"

The elder brother who is in charge of the punishment department is the eighth elder brother, and Gali was attached to the eighth elder brother when he was in the south of the Yangtze River.What will Lao Ba do with his former henchmen?

Longkodo hurriedly picked up the imperial decree with both hands, held it, and said in his mouth: "Hey!"

Kangxi only felt upset and irritable, waved his hands, and said: "Kneel down!"

Longkodo agreed and retreated to the door.

Kangxi thought of Cao Yong and wanted to call Long KeDuo and let him warn Cao Yong to mind his own business, but he still didn't say much about Cao Yong's benevolence.

When Longkodo stepped back, Kangxi sat down on the chair and rubbed his forehead.In recent days, he seems to be more and more indecisive, he is really old...

In Chongwenmen, the infantry are in charge of the yamen, and there are three halls.

Jue Luo sat on a chair, drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and calmed down a little.

According to the rules, the person who kowtows must have a hundred sticks if he has no responsibility.Just because she was old and suffering, and Longkodo was not a rigid person, he invited her to sit in the third hall first.

Whether to detain the Dutong Yamen or hand over to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, you have to wait for the holy order.

The old man sat up straight, and said to Cao Yong: "I am tired and have been waiting for a long time, Mr. Cao, please go back first. This involves my Dong E's family affairs. If Mr. Cao is criticized, the old man will feel even more ashamed."

Jueluo Shi is over 70 years old, single, and coming here to tell his children and grandchildren, the situation is really miserable.However, since the complaint has been handed over to the imperial court by Longkodo himself, this case must be arranged for trial by the Yamen.

Even if it is an imperial order and a sufferer, the old lady still has to be imprisoned first.Even if Cao Yong wanted to help, it was just to manage inside and outside, so that Jue Luo could live more comfortably.

Dong E Jinghui was sent to Cao Fu, but the mansion was pregnant and sick, Cao Yong was really worried.

Cao Yong calculated the time, and Longkoduo left the yamen for a moment ([-]:[-] p.m.) and went to Changchun Garden.Even if it is a fast horse, it will take two or three hours to go back and forth, and it is not bad to be able to come back before the gate of the city.

Although Jue Luo said he would ask Cao Yong to go back first, but before the imperial decree was issued, Cao Yong really couldn't bear to put down his hands and walk away.He went out to look for Cao Fang, and said: "I'm afraid we can't leave here for the time being, so send someone to the Yamen Tongfu to tell him, and then send someone to Haidian Garden to tell Xiao Er to go back to the city!"

Cao Fang agreed, Cao Yong thought about the money again, and said: "By the way, I will take more money from the account in the mansion, I'm afraid I will have to deal with it later!"

Cao Fang went down to arrange people not to mention it, but Cao Yong heaved a long sigh.

Such a change in Dong E's family made Luo Shi feel sad, but Jinghui's situation became more and more miserable.No one can guarantee whether Xiao Er is infatuated or hot for a while.

Even Xiao Er is infatuated, but Zhao Jia's side is really a headache.

Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, but because her grandmother went to sue, the matter could not be concealed, and because she was close to Chuyu, Jinghui explained the family change in a few words.

Chu Yu's eyes widened in shock when she heard such a rebellious thing.

After Jinghui finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying when she thought about her grandmother and herself being homeless, and her life was so miserable.

Chuyu sat on the kang, holding Jinghui's hand, not knowing how to comfort her, so she also cried along with her.

Although Jinghui said that she was worried about her old grandmother and was full of anxiety, but seeing that Chuyu was struggling with her big belly, she didn't dare to be too sad, lest she would make Chuyu anxious.

Therefore, she wiped away her tears and said: "It's all my sister's fault. I shouldn't have told my cousin about these things. She is so tired that she is worried."

Chu Yu also knew that tears were useless, so she wiped away her tears and said, "My good sister, with your cousin accompanying the old lady, the arrangement is safe, so don't worry yourself, it hurts your heart, and makes the old lady sad. "

Jinghui heard the words, but she was ashamed, and murmured: "Cousin, my sister has received a great favor from my cousin and sister-in-law, but I haven't repaid it yet, but now I'm bothering my cousin and sister-in-law again!"

Chu Yu patted her hand and said, "What are you talking about heresy? When I lived in Yizhou, I really treated you as my younger sister. Although I saw you rarely in Beijing, I also Missing you."

After hearing this, Jinghui remembered the two cages of birds, one of which was a pair of parrots that had been poisoned to death by eating mushrooms.

"Biao sister-in-law, that bird...that bird... I'm really sorry for cousin-in-law's kindness..." Jing Hui whispered.

Chu Yu didn't realize it for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about the pair of parrots, so she shook her head and said, "Don't talk like that, if this matter comes up, these two caged birds have made a great contribution. If there is no The bird hung on the porch, and the cat ran to the corner to die, who would have seen it? The pair of parrots who were trying food were not in vain, and they were considered a savior.”

As soon as the words came out, Chuyu thought of the infatuated Cao Songlai.

Only a few days after the two caged birds were delivered, Jinghui was led to the mansion here, but it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse.

After Chu Yu finished explaining in this way, although Jing Hui felt less guilty, she was more grateful, she got up from the edge of the kang, and bowed down like a spring onion.

Chu Yu stood up and said angrily, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Jing Hui said with tears: "My cousin is right. Thinking about it now, my sister, this half day is like a dream. If I didn't see the cat... It was useless to try the parrots at that time, maybe something big will happen ... Cousin, you saved my sister again, please be respected by my sister..."

Seeing how pitiful she was, Chu Yu couldn't bear it, pulled her up, and said, "Who wants you to be grateful, please stop making such nonsense, it's just too much."

In fact, she really wanted to say that if she was grateful, she would marry into our family as a daughter-in-law.But now is not the time to joke, so I can only sigh in my heart.

Maybe Cao Song and Jinghui are really destined, or how could it be such a coincidence?
However, thinking of this matter, Chu Yu and Cao Yong have the same opinion, that is, Zhao Jia is really a headache.It happened that she was also the mother of Cao Song, a character who couldn't get past her.

It is not easy for these two little ones to get together.

Cashmere Alley, Dong'e Mansion.

Gali sat in the hall with a numb expression, with dried blood stains on his forehead.Gali's wife stood aside, crying "woo woo".

Serqi and Gandu's uncle and nephew knelt in front of Kali, unable to tell whether it was hatred or regret.Gantai looked at the crowd in a daze. Seeing that everyone was so desperate, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Gali: "Ama, since the old lady is going to sue Ama for disobedience, then Ama pack up and leave the capital immediately." Well, don’t you have to wait for the guards to come to your door?”

Although he is the son of Serqi, he was raised under the name of Gali since he was a child, and even his fame as a good scholar was also favored by Gali when he was the governor of Liangjiang.Therefore, he called Gali "Ama" and his wife "E Niang".

Gali's face was ashen, he shook his head, and said: "Is it the king of the world, I am so old, do I still have to suffer from the bumps?"

Seeing that Ga Li was like this, Gan Tai was anxious and said, "Ama, disobedience and disfilial piety are serious crimes, you have to... you have to..."

He couldn't utter the words "beheading", so he changed the subject and said, "If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. Long Live Lord has been on the throne for more than 50 years. Ah Ma found a place to hide for two years. The emperor ascends the throne, and amnesty the world..." At the end of the day, his own confidence was insufficient.

"Disobedience and unfilial piety" is a heinous and unforgivable crime, and it cannot be forgiven if it is met.

Gali's wife heard what her adoptive son said, and knew that it was a dead end.In desperation, when she saw Gandu kneeling in front of her husband, she couldn't help being furious. She rushed forward and started tearing Gandu up, beating and cursing: "You bastard, you bastard! I wanted to kill your mother when I was born, but now I want to kill our old couple? The old thing still has a few years to live, so just give it a good job, but you are in a hurry to die. Even if you want to die, you can You don't have to take us to be buried with you..."

Qian knew that he had committed a terrible disaster, so he let his aunt beat and scold him, with his head down, and he did not dodge.

Gali's wife spat twice on Gandu's face and scolded: "Who are you showing your face in mourning? I already knew that you were jealous of your younger brother and complained about the master and me, so you stretched the master to Tai'er Seeking fame. You don’t want to piss and take pictures. With your virtue, you are not worthy to be the son of the master! But if you have a little conscience, you can bear the blame yourself, and don’t implicate the master. Otherwise, I will be a ghost I won't let you go..."

After Gali's wife finished scolding, she didn't know if she listened or not, but when she got to this point, she really had hope in her heart.She turned around, took Gali's arm, and said: "Master, yes, yes, this is not the master's business at all, it is all done by this rebellious son, so what is the master's business? Let's go to the yamen to find Old lady, explain to the old lady clearly, if you ask for a crime, just look for the traitor."

Hearing this, Gandu raised his head, clenched his fists and said, "Ama, Erniang is right, my son will go to the yamen and surrender himself. My son asked someone to release the mushroom, and Ama didn't know about it."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what it should be!" Gali's wife showed surprise on her face.

Hearing the mess, Garli let out a "cough", and the room immediately became clear.

Gali looked at his wife and adopted son standing aside, then at his younger brother and son kneeling in front of him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "What are you making trouble for? It was only me who was cut and hacked."

Both Ga Li's wife and Gan still wanted to persuade him, Ga Li stood up and said, "Call someone to prepare hot water immediately, my lord, I want to take a bath and change clothes..."

Seeing his father like this, Gandu patted his chest vigorously and cried loudly.

Gali took two steps forward, touched his son's blood-stained forehead, and said with a smile, "Son, come and rub your Ama's back..."
