Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 27 The Wind Destroys the Vitex Tree
It is said that Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty even got blood drops to report, knowing that the group is unpredictable, and there will be chaos sooner or later.When they were summoned at once, the two of them were sweating when they saw Sejong's unkind expression.Kowtow saw the driver, only to see Shizong said: "outsiders have partnered with me, don't you probably know?"

The two said in unison: "The ministers and others also have some rumors. It's just because the bottom line is not very careful and the relationship is important, so I dare not make it up."

Shizong said: "What a mature and prudent insight! They are all like you. He came to report only if he made a countermeasure. When the countermeasure is successful, I would have been killed by them long ago."

The two met and said: "I don't know the pros and cons, damn it! Damn it!"

Shizong said: "you don't have to do that. If you get wind, you should answer me, just like my confidant."

Then he asked Ertai, "What news do you have?"

Ertai said: "just before in the court room, Prince Lian said in front of the public that if the emperor made such a disturbance, the world would surely be destroyed, and the Qing Dynasty might not be preserved. At that time, the king of Xun County also sighed. The prince also said that if the abolished prince became the master, the trouble would never have come to this point. Seeing that he was so busy, none of them dared to answer him. Afterwards, they broke up and went home."

Shizong asked Zhang Tingyu again, and Tingyu said: "Prince Lian's recent actions are very much for fame. Officials inside and outside the capital respect his things, and they all serve him with the original rites. The official name is too good. I also heard that he said to his cronies that no matter the court No matter how the situation changes, the emperor will definitely not dare to live in it. Either he will abolish the crown prince, or he will follow the edict to promote the king of Xunjun. German weapon!"

Shizong said: "This thief is hypocritical and benevolent, and his ambitions are not correct." Ting Yu said: "Two fatal incidents happened in Prince Lian's mansion last night."

Shizong said: "Who committed the crime?"

Ting Yu said: "It's Prince Lian. Prince Lian has recruited King Xun and other people to drink at home these few days. When he gets drunk, he talks nonsense and talks about government affairs. Chief historian Hu Shitun, guard 96, Afraid that he would cause disaster, he spoke out and advised.

Unexpectedly, he was offended, and Lihe's family beat 96 to death, stripped Hu Shitun naked, beat him with fifty leather whips, and pushed him into the ice pile, almost never freezing to death. "

Shizong said: "Someone mentioned ginseng, but it is also two very good money."

Then tell the two of you what you have learned.Ertai said: "Such nonsense, the emperor can no longer be lenient. It's just that the thieves gathered together, and it would be a bit troublesome to investigate.

According to the muddleheaded opinion of the servant, it is best to transfer the king of Xun County, so as not to get in the way.

Shizong said, "Where should I transfer him?" "

Zhang Tingyu said: "After the holy ancestor was enshrined, the mausoleum should have sent someone to enshrine, why not just send him?"

Shizong said: "Yun (礻我) is also a waste in Beijing, so I simply thought of a way and got out together. A single thread can't form a thread, and a single tree can't form a forest. That one is easy to deal with."

Ertai said: "The servant remembered that there was a good job in front of him, so he was sent."

Shizong said: "Which one is the mission in front of me?"

Ertai said: "Zhebzun Danba Hushiketu of Outer Mongolia came to Beijing to congratulate him, isn't he going to resign in a few days?"

Shizong said: "That's right, Zhebu Tsundanba was so devout this time, he came to Beijing to congratulate him in person, and also presented a few statues of Dahuanxi Buddha. Because he came all the way, I sincerely do not want to let you down, so I have issued a decree to change the old residence into Yonghe The palace is dedicated to enshrining the Great Huanxi Buddha. The garden has been turned into a summer resort, and the craftsmen have started work there. After the completion of the work in a day, I will take you to pay homage, and then take a stroll around the garden.”

Ertai said: "Zhebuzun Danba is a Buddha, and the princes and princes of all the alliances have to salute him when they see him. In terms of dignity, he is no different from the emperor.

Shizong said: "I treat each other objectively." "

Ertai said: "He has come all the way, and before he leaves, he should send a minister to see him off, so that people from afar can see him and praise us. Does the emperor see if this idea works?"

Shizong said: "Do you want to send Yun (礻我) there?"

Ertai said: "This is what the slave thinks."

Shizong pondered and did not answer.Zhang Tingyu said: "I'm afraid it won't work, the empress dowager loves him very much."

Shizong said: "The Empress Dowager is irrelevant, not to mention that she likes the Bodhisattva very much, and she would never dare to come out to stop him. What I'm afraid of is that if he arrives in Mongolia, if he calls the Mongolian soldiers, it will be a difficult problem."

Ertai said: "That's not true, Mongolia has always been afraid of us.

What's more, the emperor treated the living Buddha with great courtesy, and they were ashamed to betray him. "

Shizong said: "It's so good! I will issue an order tomorrow."

Ting Yu said: "The minister plans to participate in the festival when he returns home. When the two of them leave Beijing, they will worship."

Shizong said: "It's difficult for you two to participate in the performance. It's the prince after all."

Ting Yu said: "I will go back and instruct my colleagues in private to guarantee that there will be [-] or [-] reference books, so that the emperor will not be embarrassed."

Back away now.

The next day, Shizong really issued two decrees, ordering Yunyu to worship Jingling, and ordering Yun (礻我) to send the Living Buddha back to Mongolia.The two had no choice but to thank En, leaving Beijing one after another.As soon as the two talents came out of Beijing, a group of ministers including Zhang Tingyu jointly played the role of Prince Lian Yunsi, the minister who participated in the auxiliary government. , Gushan Beiziyun (礻我), are all implicated in it.Shizong raised his eyebrows on purpose and said, "Why is my brother so ignorant and arrogant? It's all because of Lian's poor teaching, so there's no need to investigate."

All the ministers said: "King Lian and others have offended the country. Although the emperor is merciful, it is hard to justify it to the country. Kindly send King Lian and others to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment, so as to promote the law of the country and stabilize the country."

Shizong said: "Since you all say that, it is difficult for me to focus on my personal affairs, and I will take care of him. I will handle it after I enter the palace and play the Empress Dowager."

The monarchs and ministers in the palace discussed this, and the palace had already heard the news, and several of the empress dowager's confidant eunuchs hurriedly reported the matter to the empress dowager, saying: "The eighth elder brother is making a rebellion in the court, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother Elder brother, everything is connected in it, the emperor ordered to arrest people.

" When the queen mother heard that the fourteenth elder brother was involved, she burst into tears in anxiety, and said: "I am so old, I only have this blood and blood, can I still lose it? "

The crowd persuaded: "The Ministry of Punishment hasn't asked yet, or it may be wronged."

The queen mother cried: "You don't know that Yunyu is a solid child, how can he live up to their calculations, he must be dead or alive."

Talking and crying, first the emperor came.Everyone said: "When it comes to this matter, the previous emperor was right or wrong. Since he wants to establish the fourteenth elder brother, what's wrong with establishing it in a legitimate way? He just wants to play with that cleverness, write a will, and store it in the Zhengda Guangming Palace. Now he is being It doesn’t count if you take it away, but you also need to kill elder brother’s life.”

The queen mother said: "For those who have died, you don't have to blame him. He himself is suffering, and his death is unclear."

Everyone said: "That's not true. People in Changchun Garden said that when the first emperor was seriously ill, the emperor would drink a pot of ginseng soup. Somehow, the first emperor died and the emperor ascended the throne."

The queen mother said: "Stop talking, if you mention this again, my heart will be broken."

The crowd said: "There are people like this who drill into the sky and become emperors. Like Emperor Shizu, who became emperors, but lost to become monks."

The Empress Dowager said: "If I had known that he would suffer disaster, I would have called him into the palace a few more times when I was in Beijing."

Everyone asked why.The Empress Dowager said: "Our mother and I have not seen each other for many days."

When everyone heard this, they were all sad.The Empress Dowager said: "I'm very suspicious of this demon king. When Yunyu returned to the capital, he didn't dare to call him into the palace, so he just came in with all the elder brothers, and it was inconvenient to say anything else in front of everyone. What do you think? We are two mothers, are you pitiful?"

Everyone said: "The emperor asked to summon the fourteenth elder brother, why is your old man not allowed?"

The queen mother said: "That's because he tried my heart. Could it be that at my age, I can't let others try it on?"

Everyone said: "We heard what the queen mother said at that time, and we were a little suspicious. The fourteenth elder brother is the queen mother's own son. Why do you say that you only know the emperor is my son? Yunyu is just like all the elder brothers, and he is not particularly close. It turns out that the Empress Dowager has another layer of deep meaning, we don't know, we are all wrong!"

The queen mother said: "Don't talk about my own life, even Yun (礻我) is very pitiful. He plots against him, I love him, and I can't make decisions. You all know it."

Everyone said: "Why don't you know? I still remember that the emperor asked the ten elder brothers to send the living Buddha to Mongolia. When he came in and back to the queen mother, the queen mother said to him why he was so hard. The emperor ignored him and ran out. The queen mother was still angry all day long. Woolen cloth."

With that said, people reported that the emperor had entered the palace.The Empress Dowager had to deliver an order to summon Shizong.After seeing Li, Zhaoyi Zhu'er played the story of Eighth Prince's conspiracy in detail.Sui Dao: "I originally wanted to protect him, but all the ministers said that they should not be indulged lightly. The resignation is long and reasonable, and the ministers can't reject it. So come back to the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother's order."

The queen mother said: "Ordinary people's families are kind and friendly even after the death of the master. There is no emperor's family, but the adult family is so troubled. Your grandfather also has brothers. Have you ever seen such a trouble? Brother If there is something wrong with them, it is better to teach them, and you don’t have to rely on the emperor’s momentum to get rid of it all at once.”

Shizong smiled and said: "The Queen Mother taught me a lesson! But they are stubborn, they can no longer be moralized, and they can't be rationalized. Why didn't the ministers teach them? When they came to the throne, the ministers called them to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Ganlu cried and said to them: "I was entrusted by the emperor to reincarnate the great position. This burden is not light, no more than the previous emperors. The succession is established in order. Between father and son, each has its own way, just like Yu." Tang is so good, Jie and Zhou are so evil, each conducts its own politics, and will never discuss it with Yu and Tang for the sake of Jie and Zhou. As for me and Huang Kao, right and wrong, we are actually one. My government is good, Huang Kao What he entrusted was good, but what I did was wrong, and what Huang Kao entrusted was wrong. Huang Kao’s 60-year-old holiness and miraculous skills really surpassed the ages. , Huang Kao is in the spirit of the sky, and I always know it. Our brothers are all the remains of Huang Kao, and we have all been taken care of by the emperor. I do business.

If there is something I can't think of, I will do it for me in private; or if I make a mistake for a while, I will remonstrate with me in private.Concentric Kuangbi made me a successor, that is our brother's repayment of Huang Kao Wangji's kindness. All the eunuchs in charge of the Hall of Mental Cultivation heard what Zichen said. If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, she can ask her.

"The queen mother said: "I don't need to ask. As the saying goes, "a thousand peach blossoms grow from a tree", they are always my brothers. If it can save trouble, just save trouble. "

Shizong said: "Who wants to be troubled, the crime is true, and it is true that he cannot be saved."

The queen mother said: "I don't believe that the courtiers will enforce the law like a mountain!"

Shizong said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't know that the prince broke the law, and the common people are also guilty.

Seeing that Shizong was determined not to accommodate, the queen mother cried, "I have nothing else to say. Now that you are the master, you can do whatever you want."It's just that Yunyu is a solid child, it's already pitiful for you to put him on the mausoleum, don't be wronged now.In any case, I beg you to save his life.If he had anything, I wouldn't live. "

Seeing the empress dowager like this, Shizong was very upset, and said with a sneer, "Don't be so foolish, the empress dowager, Anzhi is not because the empress dowager got used to him, that's why she has no father and no king.

If I didn't hurt him earlier, I'm afraid it might not be so bad. "

The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes were staring straight, she wanted to speak, but she was so angry that she couldn't speak anymore.Shizong sighed: "It can be seen that Zheng Zhuanggong has no choice but to meet with Quanquan."

As he spoke, he walked out without looking back.Everyone persuaded the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager said: "Look at how disobedient the emperor is, how can I live in such a life?"

Everyone said: "Although the emperor is not good when it comes to rebellious sons and filial grandsons, this brother Hongli knows good and bad. If you pass him on, you old man will be blessed. Like the emperor who went to Mulan to go to autumn Hunting, even accompanied by the emperor's grandmother."

The Empress Dowager said: "If it's so far away, do you know that I can see it or not?"

However, Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty returned to his palace and connected the secret report of Xuedizi. Knowing that Yunyu, the king of Xun County, had arrived at the mausoleum, Cai Huaixi, a traitor, went to the court to submit a letter to persuade him to rebel.This letter happened to be seen by his chief military officer, and the chief military officer was about to re-authorize it, so he asked for his instructions.Yun Yu said that this is not a big deal, and he can finish it at his own discretion, while cutting out all the rebellious words in the book.Gushan Beiziyun (礻我) just arrived in Zhangjiakou and couldn't make excuses for his illness. He burned incense and brewed prayers at home all day long.Shizong hated it so much that he rarely satirized his officials and asked them to write inscriptions and participate in the performance.

In a few days, the inscriptions in the book came like snowflakes, each of which listed the crimes, allowing 28 major crimes, allowing [-] major crimes, and allowing (礻我) the crime of repression.For those who don't know, this kind of book, it is true that Yunyu and others are true and guilty, and they must not be forgiven, but who knows that most of them are weaves.Sejong looked at the title book and deliberately acted mercifully.The ministers in the court naturally made repeated requests, and Sejong issued an order to arrest and interrogate Yunsi, Yunyu, Yunyu, and Yun (Yunwo), and the family members and eunuchs of the four were all arrested in the general. To torture.

It has always been said that under the three trees, there is nothing you can ask for, and naturally it is always accepted.All the kings and ministers, following their will, said in unison, please punish Yunsi and other Ming canons.Shizong didn't let it go, he first decreed that Yunsi and Yunyu should be cut off their ancestral records, and Yunsi's name was changed to Aqina, and Yunyu's name was changed to Seth Hei.According to people who are fluent in Manchurian, Aqina means pig in Chinese, and Seth Hei means dog in Chinese.They were also taught to detain the four people separately, and then summoned the kings and ministers, and said with tears streaming down their faces: "Aqina, Sethhei, Yun (礻wo), and Yunyu are all sons of Emperor Nengsheng, my own flesh and blood. Brothers and sisters, you are all people who have been deeply thought by the emperor and the ancestors, and what you are doing now is like this, if there is a slight discrepancy between the love and the crime, you will fall into the injustice, and you will be punished by the emperor."

Naturally, everyone's response was "pleading guilty for disobedience, absolutely no forgiveness, everyone agrees, begging to cut off" and other crowning words.Shizong said: "Your words are not true. If the rebels are not punished, everyone will be bold and reckless, imitating others and making trouble. The court will not have a comfortable life. But the relationship is related to siblings, and the union is a bit unbearable. Wait for me to issue a decree again. Ask the governors of all provinces to mention the town, and see their feedback, and then make a decision.

"

At this time, Sejong pretended to be benevolent and kind on the face, but secretly ordered the blood drops to be sent to prisons, and killed Aqina and Seth Hei, but did not cut off their heads.

The guard of the prison was busy making a report, only saying that the two of them would be executed together.Sejong intentionally made a look of surprise, and said to the crowd: "I originally wanted to imprison the two of you for a year and a half, and slowly influence him, and then unexpectedly, I will be punished."

He sighed endlessly.The crowd said: "The crimes of the two of them are heinous, and they have committed their own crimes. Why should the emperor sigh!

Shizong said: "How do you know my original intention? I wanted to be the master of success and perfection, and to repay the emperor's deep thinking."Now that something happened between the two of you, if you try hard enough, most of them will be wiped out.I don't know what sins our brother committed in his previous life to make him look like this.

"After finishing speaking, he repeatedly stamped his feet. Later generations have two epic poems, one of which is: Aqina and Seth Hei, fried beans and burned skips are not tolerable.

With double folded wings in front of Yuanwu Gate, Tailing beat Tangzong after all.

The second way:
The phoenix car and the dragon bridle hold the flag, and the concubines worship on the ceremony.

Reported under Qing Luan's imperial edict, a tragic poem about the bean-kei.

But the empress dowager, since she quarreled with Shizong that day, has not had tea or food all day long, and almost washed her face with tears.On this day, I suddenly heard that the eunuchs reported that the eighth and ninth elder brothers had disappeared in the prison. The eighth elder brother was still very healthy during the day, and he ate well for three meals. After half a day, who would have thought that he would die after falling asleep.Brother Jiu was transported from Xining to Baoding, chatting and laughing freely along the way, the escort officials talked to him about the emperor's recent government affairs, Brother Jiu also laughed and said that he was always smart, as he should be.Unexpectedly, when he entered the Baodingtai yamen, he lost his life for no reason.It is said that the emperor secretly ordered people to kill them.After all, I never got the certificate.The Empress Dowager said: "Amazing! He is so cruel and cruel, my fourteenth elder brother must be unlucky too."

The eunuch said: "Brother Fourteen is fine."

The Empress Dowager said: "In his hands, this life will never be guaranteed."

The eunuch said: "Think of a way, it's good to save him."

The queen mother said: "Who doesn't want to save him. You also know that he won't listen to my words. Didn't you quarrel with me last time because of this matter?"

The eunuch said: "Slave servant, this road is blocked, so let's go another road."

The Queen Mother said: "Which way do you want me to go?"

Seeing the question, the eunuch exited the door and looked around. Seeing no one was there, he came in and whispered: "The emperor's concubine and concubine, the emperor is not clean with her. It seems that the two of you are on good terms. As long as you find this way , ask her to tell the emperor quietly, won't it be over."

The Empress Dowager said: "An inhuman beast, to do this kind of behavior! He is still talking about the emperor's exam, the emperor knows, and he will never let him go. There are 35 brothers, who can't beat him! But the emperor has no eyes, Letting him go will make the plan succeed. Concubine He is a goblin, she really has no shame, and she obeyed him. In the past, when the ancestor was around, I also advised many times, that young concubines like this should be kept less when they are older. It is also good for maintaining the body; the imperial physician also said that being pure and ascetic is many times better than eating a few hundred catties of ginseng and bird's nest. However, the ancestors always refused to listen, and they never thought that such a scandal would happen after Yan died."

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "From ancient times to the present, things that have never happened have happened at this moment. I don't know what crimes my ancestors did to give birth to this beast."

The eunuch said: "Don't blame the emperor, the empress dowager, she looks pretty like a concubine, who wouldn't be tempted after seeing it? Besides, it's not a big deal. It is said that Tang Wugui, Song snot, clean and sloppy."

He said again: "There were no clean people in the Qing Dynasty, that's the custom!"

The Empress Dowager said: "He usually has a queen's wife, why is he so indifferent?"

The eunuch said: "Young people are like greedy cats, eating in the bowl and looking out of the bowl. The Queen Mother doesn't need to care about their idle accounts. It's about the fourteenth brother. Let's beg her to go. As soon as the concubine agrees, it will be fine to keep it."

The Empress Dowager said: "I am the mother of the country. It is useless for me to beg her for this kind of animal-like person. Besides, they are all masters of a vine, so it is useless to beg her. I am determined not to lose them." This face, ask yourself to ask for it!"

After listening to this sentence too much, he fell to his knees, said the word "leader", turned over and went out.The queen mother was busy drinking back, and the eunuchs in the underground palace shouted one after another.If you want to know whether this person comes back or not, let's listen to the next chapter.
