Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 12 The three ministers were killed together by Oboi's savagery in the Golden Palace

On the second morning, when Kangxi arrived at Qianqingmen, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. Wang Jieshu, who was in charge of politics, looked panic-stricken, and led Ye Bilong and Sukesaha to kneel and wait under Dan Chi, but there was no sight of Oboi.The number of guards standing guard in front of the gate has doubled, and each of them has a murderous look on their faces.At that time, the sun was rising and the pole was rising, and the breeze was blowing, making it very quiet.

After the ministers had invited Sheng'an, Ye Bilong stammered and said, "My lord, do you know if the memorials of the three ministers, Su Nahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian, can be read?" bingo."

"Stay in the middle" means to withhold and not issue, not to express attitude directly.When Aunt Su Ma read this memorial to Kangxi at night, he appreciated the prohibition of enclosing people's fields.However, when the Suksaha incident happened during the day, he had a second thought: this Wang Denglian is Suksaha's disciple, will he collude with him to create a mystery?So although he drew many circles with a red pen, when Lagu Su Ma advocated "clear hair", he said: "Let's wait and see, don't worry."

Seeing that the assistant ministers attached great importance to this issue, Kangxi felt a little surprised, so he asked: "Since I came to power, I have repeatedly ordered the ban on land enclosure. Although it has not been completely banned, it will not be so serious, right?"

Ye Bilong obviously didn't expect Kangxi to answer like this at all, he was slightly taken aback, and said fluently: "Long live the holy book is very clear, and the servant also thinks that Su Nahai and the other three are alarmist, deliberately disrupting the government, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

This climbing along the pole is too bizarre, how can this be regarded as "deliberate chaos in politics"?Kangxi felt suspicious, and seeing Suksaha remained silent, he asked, "Suksaha, what do you think?" I don't want to talk, so I can only kowtow and say: "Wang Denglian is the disciple of the minister—" just halfway through the sentence, suddenly there was a noise outside the hall, and there were heavy footsteps in the middle. It was Aobai who came.

It was Oboi who came, and his attire today looked very energetic, a brand-new gown with nine pythons and five claws, a coat made of cranes, a pair of horseshoe sleeves turned up, revealing the snow-white lining, and green eyes on the top of the coral Peacock Hualing swayed and walked as if there was no one else around.Just as he was about to enter the palace, he saw Taibitu, the servant of the Ministry of War, standing respectfully outside the door, holding a scroll of papers capped with red clay and wax paint in his hand. No need to ask, this is the urgent military report from the six hundred miles that just arrived. He stood still and asked, "What do you want to play here?"

Taibitu was smiling all over his face, stepped forward lightly and stabbed a thousand, and said in a low voice: "Humble job please Zhongtang Lord Jin'an!"

"Get up!" Oboi stretched out his right hand, and the voice was so loud that everyone in the hall could hear: "What are you holding in your hand?" Taibitu raised the Huai Chinese book slightly and replied: "The memorial of Lord Wu Sangui. "

Aobai was about to speak again, but he heard Kangxi in the hall ask loudly: "Who is making noise outside the hall?"

Aobai flicked his horseshoe sleeves with both hands, stepped into the hall and said: "Chen Aobai, please give me peace!" A thousand sons beat him down, and without waiting for Kangxi to speak, he got up, "Your minister is old, and Rong Chen will serve you! "

Kangxi smiled and said: "Of course it can - Sukesaha, Ye Bilong, Jieshu, you should also get up." Then he turned to Oboi, "What are the performances of Su Nahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian?" I suppose you've read it?"

Oboi raised his head slightly, raised his hand in a manner neither humble nor overbearing, and replied: "I have read it. Sunahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian, as the country's frontier officials, did not follow the sacred teachings, deceived the emperor, and no longer have any ministers." The ceremony, according to the law, beheaded! I don’t know why the Holy Majesty kept this treasonous memorial and did not publish it?”

He spoke loudly and sharply, with great energy, and everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.Kangxi couldn't help his face changing color, he took a breath, and thought: "Although this Oboi is rude in the past, he is not as presumptuous as he is today. He must be thinking about Sony's critical illness, and he has become more confident." There was something in his heart Displeased.Looking at the guards on the left and right, they don't know each other except Namo and Murima, and Xiao Weizi is not in front of him. Thinking about the manipulation of the Yan Luo Temple outside the hall, he couldn't help shivering.

Kangxi suppressed the panic in his heart, collected himself and said: "Manchu and Han bannermen have lived in harmony for more than [-] years, and there is no estrangement. Letting them leave their homes for no reason now is not good governance, right? Su Na Although what the three of them said is not true, I see their original intentions, but they are all sincere."

Aobai saw that Kangxi's eloquent words made sense, he was surprised, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Manchu and Han people are all assimilated by Han people, losing the simple system of our ancestors!"

Before Kangxi could answer, Sukesaha, who was silent at the side, couldn't help but sneered and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Oboi, aren't the Han people the people of my court? Since you have the ancestral legal system in your eyes, why do you allow your family to rob Han women as maidservants?" , and provoked the Rehe banner people to fight?" As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi asked sharply, "Is this plausible?"

The emperor and his ministers discussed with each other, for this matter, Obai should have kowtowed to apologize immediately.But before he went to the court, he had already found out that Sonny was dying and was in danger, so he had no fear, and proudly raised his head and answered: "It's outrageous. The three ministers of Sunahai lie and deceive the king. Forgiveness! If the banners had been divided up early and the borders were guarded separately, how could we allow villains like Suke Saha to spread rumors and hurt my ministers!"

Discussions come and go, one thing becomes two things.Kangxi feared that further disputes would arise, so he said: "Today, let's discuss the three people of Su Nahai, and I will find out and deal with the rest." He was so angry that he didn't care about the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, so he raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly in the hall: "The crime of deceiving the emperor should have been executed quickly. Now it is a lighter sentence to be beheaded and abandon the market. Your Majesty If you are so hesitant, how can you warn future generations?"

Kangxi's face was livid, and he sat on the chair silently.Sukesaha and Aobai glanced at each other, their gazes were like knives and swords, and sparks burst out immediately!After a moment of stalemate, Kangxi saw that Wang Jieshu, who was discussing politics, had never said a word, so he asked, "Jieshu, what do you think should be done with this matter? And Ye Bilong, what about you?"

Jie Shu timidly looked at Ao Bai who had a fierce face, pretending to bow his head in thought, but remained silent.Kangxi turned his eyes to Ye Bilong again.Ye Bilong winked, knelt down and said: "I think I have to follow Ao Zhongtang's advice." After speaking, he sighed slightly, and Jie Shu then said: "The minister's intention is the same."

Aobai laughed twice, walked up to Sukesaha, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Sukesaha, do you feel sorry for your disciple Wang Denglian?" Shivering, he raised his head and glanced at Kangxi who was sitting upright, and he sighed after a long time: "Oh..."

This can be regarded as an expression of attitude, Oboi was very satisfied, turned around and bowed to Kangxi, and said: "Your Majesty, since the ministers and others see the same thing, please make an order from the Emperor!"

Kangxi tightened his lips, held his head stubbornly, and remained silent, his two hands holding the chair trembling slightly.Seeing that Kangxi didn't answer, Obai smiled and said, "Oh, I'm confused. It must be that the emperor is too young to be educated, so he can't draft the edict himself. In this case, I have to be brave enough to do it for you." After speaking, he strode towards Yuji , Picking up the imperial pen, dipping it in cinnabar, rustling and writing quickly, an imperial edict is considered a draft.He proclaimed loudly: "Imperial decree: Su Nahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian disrespected their superiors, and they will be executed as soon as they touch them. This is what!" He clapped the paper together with both hands, and shouted out of the hall: "Taibitu, Taibitu Bitu's servant!" Taibitu responded and entered the hall.Aobai handed the edict to Taibitu and said: "Take it to the Ministry of Punishment, and handle it according to the order." After speaking, he turned and smiled at Kangxi: "Excuse me for being rude! This is a last resort. But the emperor doesn't have to always It’s playful, you should read some books, I have already found a master for the emperor, his name is Ji Shi, I will tell him to go to the study tomorrow.”

"It's helping the world again! It's good if you can really help the world!" Before Kangxi could finish speaking, he stood up abruptly, glanced at the ministers standing on duty, and said with a sneer: "I have become Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. What master do you need!" After speaking, he left in a huff.Zhang Wanqiang and other eunuchs also hurriedly left Qianqing Palace.

Jie Shu, Ye Bilong, and Suke Saha were like having a nightmare, and they were dumbfounded by Oboi's arrogant behavior.But Oboi seemed to be fine, he pinched the joints of both hands with a loud noise.

Because the imperial decree did not state "dismissal", the three offenders—Su Nahai, Zhu Changzuo, and Wang Denglian—all came to the execution ground with their second-rank topwear, robes with nine pythons and five claws, and golden pheasants. .Since Wen Tianxiang was killed at the end of Song Dynasty, it was the first time that a minister was executed like this.

How did the common people know that this was Oboi's negligence while he was excited.But they all knew that those who were beheaded like this were loyal ministers, and they felt an indescribable pain in their hearts.

The banquet in the official hall is almost over.Su Nahai smiled and said to Zhu Changzuo: "Brother Yunmen, you didn't think of this when you wrote the notebook, did you? You don't need to be so dejected now." It was smashed to pieces, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I will not turn into blood, nor will I be a tooth. I hope that there will be a hall of hell, and I will be registered as a ghost, and I will drive out evil for the community. I will be the main striker... Haha..." He turned around He said to Su Nahai: "Nahai and Yunmen brothers, let's go!"

The three stood up, but saw Sukesaha squeezed in with his followers, and went straight to the official hall.Seeing him, Su Nahai took a step forward and cupped his hands and said: "Zhongtang, thank you for coming to see us at this time!" Because Wang Denglian is a disciple of Suksaha, seeing him here, his pride suddenly diminished, and he said with tears: "Mr. Life and death are not enough... [-]-year-old mother, please benefactor..." Saying this, he fell down and bowed down, and was held by Sukesaha.He was full of words, but he couldn't speak out, only nodded with tears in his eyes.Zhu Changzuo stepped forward and asked with tears in his eyes, "Master Zhongtang, don't you know that we are wronged..." At this point, Su Nahai shouted: "Life and death, fate! Brother Yunmen, why are you acting like this!"

Sukesaha's face was pale, he let out a long sigh, forced himself to laugh and said: "Brothers are incompetent and unable to return to heaven, which caused the three brothers to be wronged, and they are extremely ashamed!" He poured three glasses of wine with trembling hands, one by one. Bless them: "A glass of sake, let's chat as a farewell party, the night is long and the road is long, it can keep out the wind and cold..." At this point, Sukesaha could not stop the two lines of tears from rolling down.

A school lieutenant came in, greeted the three criminals and Suksaha respectively, and said, "My lords, Mr. Supervisor and Execution Officer has a heartfelt condolence: the hour is coming, so it's good for the three lords to make a long story short." Ascension to heaven. The lower officials can't help themselves to do this job, and I can't afford to be guilty of delaying for a long time."

The moment of farewell finally came, and Suksaha knelt down to see the three of them off.The three of Su Nahai also knelt down and returned the gift.

It was already the time when the noon sign was engraved, and Wu Zhengzhi, the servant of the criminal department, was sitting anxiously on the supervisor's beheading seat, unwilling to give the order for a long time.He knew that this errand was difficult, but the difficulty was that he was indeed a loyal minister, and the possibility of overturning the case in the future was extremely high, so he bit the bullet and wasted his time.One is to wait and see if there is any future life left under the knife; the other is to let the common people know even if there is no future life, which is not his surname Wu's original wish.It wasn't until Suksaha came to sacrifice his life that he knew that the court's future life was hopeless.

At this time, he raised his face and looked at the sky. He didn't know when the wind blew up, and the yellow sand and dust were blown up. In the foggy place, he could only see the sun hanging in the sky like a lifeless ball, and he couldn't help but sigh. "Alas, people complain about heaven and anger!" But he flicked his sleeve lightly and ordered: "Execute!"
