The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 140
Before Zhang Ying's begging letter was handed in, and the entire Zhang family hadn't had time to get out of the grief, there was a loud thunder in the court!

Soetu is down!

The powerful ministers of this dynasty, who assisted Lord Kangxi to eliminate Oboi and Ping Sanfan, are the biggest pillars behind the prince, and this person has supported the prince all the way. After being the crown prince for more than 30 years, he has come all the way through ups and downs, After several ups and downs in the officialdom, his reputation was ruined!
Nalan Mingzhu supported the elder brother Yinfeng, and Suo'etu supported the crown prince Yinfeng. Both of them were the emperor's right-hand men at the same time, and they would be shocked three times if they stomped their feet in the middle.In the early years, the two fought against each other many times, winning and losing each other, but this time it was Suo'etu who was completely crushed.

As early as 39, Suo'etu had faded out of the court because of being informed by Gao Shiqi, and he had not entered the sight of everyone in the court for a long time.

Only the huge net in the court hall that Suo'etu wove for the prince is still quietly tied to several gold-threaded nanmu gilt pillars in the Jinluan Hall, intending to wipe out the whole world.

At the beginning of this year, Kangxi was on a tour to the south, and the prince's fourth elder brother and others followed him, but some interesting things happened on the way.

Now in May, just after Kangxi returned to the court, there was a storm in the court!

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Shunzhi's second son, Prince Yu Fuquan, who had a close relationship with Kangxi and made great military achievements, was already ill.This Prince Yu Fuquan once mentioned in front of Kangxi that the eighth elder brother Yinhu was very good, and now the eighth elder brother has gradually grown his wings, and the imperial court is the eighth elder brother's power field.

It has to be said that this eighth prince is considered the youngest among the princes who have already emerged, but at the same time he is also the most scheming.

It seems to be as warm as a spring breeze, but it has already attracted people in the Imperial Academy, and the name of the Baye Party has been spread in private.

Most of the Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy will be high-ranking officials and generous salary in the future. If you win over this group of people first, can the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty not be used by him in the future?

Even when Zhang Tingyu was writing in the Hanlin Academy, many people had hinted whether he should join the Eighth Master's party, but Zhang Tingyu and Xi Ni made up.

At that time, Gu Huaixiu said that Zhang Tingyu was "poor Hanlin, and muddy", which is why.

Prince Yu Fuquan probably also supported the Eighth Prince Yinhu, but this person handed over a booklet, which attracted the emperor to return to Beijing to visit his illness, and then Fuquan handed a secret letter to Kangxi to read.

On the first day of May, it was a day called Daqi, as if it was an appointment, Fuquan and Nalan Mingzhu unexpectedly launched an attack at the same time, and played Kangxi in the Ming Dynasty. When Kangxi was patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, Suo'etu instigated the prince to rebel and usurp the throne!

As soon as the words "rebellion and usurpation" came out, it was like a thunderbolt was thrown on the court, and everyone was stunned!
The prince has been the prince for too many years, and since he got close to Suo'etu, he has gradually deteriorated.

Kangxi has reprimanded Suoetu many times because of the prince's affairs, and because of his favorite Gao Shiqi Gaomi Soetu before, he is very clear about Suoetu's power and domineering. Last year, he called Suoetu to Dezhou Kangxi was already aware of his son's ambition when he was ill.

But he would rather believe that the crown prince would not rebel, nor would he take away the dragon chair sitting under him!
After all, this country will also belong to Yinfeng in the future.

But they couldn't wait, especially Suo'etu.

Yinfeng is still Kangxi's son after all, he subconsciously put all the blame on Suo'etu!
The secret letter that Fuquan handed over was that Suo'etu wanted to persuade the prince to find a position!It's just that there are only letters sent here, but no reply. Presumably the prince doesn't know about it, or this letter was stopped halfway, so there is no need to know what happened.

Kangxi had endured Suo'etu for a long time, not to mention that the handwriting on the secret letter was written by Suo'etu himself, and his private seal was stamped on the back, this alone is enough.

The evidence is solid, the best!
How can Kangxi's thunderous anger be underestimated?
Suo'etu is no longer an official in the court, and Kangxi ordered the clan mansion to detain Suo'etu's important ministers in one sentence!
What a big mountain, the mountain fell and everyone pushed it, and then sank into the vast officialdom, and was stepped under the feet of the emperor.

The crown prince has lost his biggest backer, and the position of crown prince is on the verge of collapse. The whole court situation has been shaken for a while, and it has begun to be turbulent.

The princes of all parties are even more excited, and everyone feels that they are likely to become the next crown prince.

Seizing the heir apparent has quietly begun.

No one can know where the secret letter from Fuquan, who supported the eighth elder brother this time, came from, but the prince knew from the clues that it was the eighth elder brother who did it. From then on, the two parties became enemies.

To bring down Suo'etu, the big elder brother's party Mingzhu contributed, Zhang Ying and Li Guangdi of the emperor's party also contributed, and the eighth elder brother's civil servants and Prince Yu naturally contributed the most. One after another, the princes are eager to The prince lost the position of crown prince and prince, but Kangxi did not move the position of prince after all.

If it moves, the country will move.

The situation, to continue to balance in such swings, is most in line with Kangxi's wishes.

Everything seemed to settle down like this.

Everything that belonged to Zhang Tingzan ended in such a light secret letter.

Is this what Yinzhen wants Gu Huaxiu to see?

The ones who killed Zhang Tingzan were probably Na Suo'etu and the prince.

As for this secret letter, where did it come from, everyone has their own answer in their hearts, the master is following the right path, but the road is wrong.

In the early morning, Gu Huaishu hugged the fat brother whose injury was almost healed, and accompanied everyone out of the house.

After Suo'etu was detained, Zhang Ying handed in a memorial to beg for rest, claiming that he was old and wanted to go home to provide for the elderly.

Kangxi knew about Zhang Ying's loss of his beloved son, and he just let out a long sigh when he saw the memorial.Originally, according to the rules, there was also a farewell banquet, but Zhang Ying was definitely not in the mood to attend it. He only bid farewell to his colleagues who had worked with him for more than [-] years, and today he was going to take Zhang Tingzan's coffin with him Back to Tongcheng.

He changed into an official uniform, wearing a blue robe, and stood by the river, with Zhang Tingyu beside him.

This time, the crazy Wu family also followed him back, and never went to the capital again.

Zhang Ying did not divorce his wife, he just stood in front of the pier, looking at the vast river, "The dead are like husbands, and they will never give up day and night..."

At the age of 66, he became an official in the sixth year of Kangxi, and in the 42nd year of Kangxi, counting the ups and downs of the official career for 36 years, now he has taken off his official uniform and is relaxed.

"When I was rushing for the exam, your mother was pregnant with you and accompanied me to Jiangning... But the boat I rented capsized halfway, and I was not good at swimming, but your mother camel me out of the water and landed all the way. She is a Taoist woman who is pregnant with Liujia... She almost lost half her life, if it wasn't for the wandering Taoist priests to save her, she would have died twice."

The events of those old years surfaced in Zhang Ying's mind one by one.

When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past.

He just looked at the water flowing past, and sighed a long time, "Later, when I gave birth to you, it was difficult to give birth, and I was still writing hard in the examination room... For the rest of my life, why study hard in the cold window..."

Zhang Ying also stood out from thousands of scholars back then, and only then did he have the road to Qingyun Pingbu.

This way, he walked too carefully.

Wu Shi was originally a village woman, she never had any high education, but she came from a poor and humble wife. Zhang Ying was not Chen Shimei, and she had shared weal and woe with Wu Shi.

"The relationship between me and her back then is not like that between you and your second daughter-in-law today?"

He closed his eyes, smiled suddenly, and looked at Mrs. Wu, who had been helped onto the boat, "Personnel changes, but your father and I are nostalgic, a couple who have been together for 40 years, and she is lonely when she gets old. Wuyi, even if she is wrong in every possible way, I dare not let her go. This time, it will be a farewell... I am sorry for you, and I am sorry for your daughter-in-law."

Zhang Tingyu was silent, all these past events were secrets hidden in Zhang Ying's heart.

He patted Zhang Tingyu on the shoulder, "The officialdom is ups and downs, ups and downs, just treat it normally. You are smarter than me, and smarter than your elder brother. Your elder brother said that you are scheming and thoughtful, and you are an official." .Now that you've started walking, don't stop, and you can't stop... Your elder brother is in the spirit of the sky, watching you."

Zhang Ying turned around, and the boat over there was about to weigh anchor, he just said: "Family, now I leave it to you."

Zhang Tingzan is gone now, and the burden of the family has fallen on Zhang Tingyu's shoulders.

The second room suddenly became the long room. Some things were very heavy and heavy, while others were very light and floating.

Zhang Tingyu watched the boat go away, and Gu Huaishu who was in the carriage also got off, watching the boat go down the canal, the morning sun just came out, and the river was full of cold waves and emerald green.

With a tall horse behind him, Yinzhen also looked at the leaving boat, Zhang Tingzan lying in the coffin on the boat, and then rode away.

Gu Huaixiu seemed to have a feeling, and looked back, she didn't know what Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Ying said, only that they stood here for a long time.

The wind on the river was very cold, and countless merchant ships were moored by the pier, waiting to set off or dock.

Yinzhen's figure walked towards the Forbidden City again, dignified and seemed to carry the gloom raised in that piece of imperial palace.

Zhang Tingyu also saw it, he only squinted his eyes, put everything down, picked it up again, and said: "This one is Lord Yan."

I just don't know whose Lord Hades it is.

Zhang Tingzan's hatred has been engraved in the hearts of the entire Zhang family.

Zhang Ying is part of the emperor's party, so it is impossible to attack the prince. As for Zhang Tingyu...

Gu Huaishu said: "With heavier loads on your back, take one step at a time, and be steady, you will be able to go further."
