Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter Three
Without fear or words, Duoerji rushed forward, grabbed Liao Shengyu like an eagle catching a chick, held his knife to his neck and said: "Tell these pigs to retreat, or I will kill you with one knife! "Liao Shengyu has been a door official for many years, and he has never experienced such a situation. A court official was threatened in public. If he is soft, what will he do in the future?Yin straightened his body, poked his neck and shouted: "They're all fucking geniuses! How many of them are there? Take..." Before he finished speaking, Liao Shengyu's head rolled to the ground...

There was an uproar immediately.Dozens of Goshhas didn't neglect any more, shouted and cursed, some blocked the road, some reported the news, and the rest came to arrest people, and the big gong beat loudly.In the distance, the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice knew that something had happened, and Tiqi came out, yelling and sealing the yamen.Although these ten or so Mongolians were brave, they finally tried their best and went to the wrong place. In the blink of an eye, they were all tied up like cold ducks.

Suo'etu had heard from Chen Xijia about the matter at the door.He was discussing with Prince Taifu, Xiong Cilu, Minister of Shangshufang, and Household Minister Duoji about the grain adjustment.Because Suo'etu couldn't figure out Kangxi's attitude towards Galdan, he looked at Xiong Cilu and said, "Dongyuan Gong, this is a matter of the Household Department of the Lifan Academy... What do you think?"

"Quer, a jumping clown in the Western Regions, dares to be so arrogant in the important place of the heavens, is it okay?" Xiong Cilu, a master of Taoism, was imposing, and after hearing the reward from the doorman, he inserted the fire matcher into the bamboo tube, and put the hookah on the table. He said, "Duoji, go out and have a look, and ask what happened to that fugitive slave. Hand over the troubled Mongols to the feudal court together, and try them with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and punish them according to the law!" Duoji listened silently. Nodding, he backed out.

Duoji went out, and the two continued to discuss matters, but they couldn't go on.The Cai Yurong and Zhao Liangdong armies on the Yunnan front had asked for food, and they had asked them to raise their own food; the Feiyang army at Gubeikou had asked them to borrow food from Horqin and Heilongjiang; Some, talk can be applied.The hardest to get rid of were Gansu and Shaanxi, where there were Mongolian refugees driven in from Khalkha Mongolia by Galdan, and the food transferred from Shanxi and Henan was simply not enough.The two thousand Mongols sent by Ge Erdan to pay tribute are still looking for trouble every day!

Not long after, Duoji came in and said, "Back to the words of the two Zhongtangs: that Mongolian woman is not an ordinary person. She is Baorilong Meigege, the only daughter of Khalkha Mongolian Tushetuhan, whose Chinese name is Axiu, and she came to Beijing. Kowtow to ask for an order to attack Galdan. When she was begging for food, Gerdan's envoy Ge Long recognized her, which caused this incident. The ministry dare not make decisions, so I ask the two middle halls to make a decision."

"Duoji, you send someone to invite Wang Jieshu to discuss politics. Let's pass the sign and enter the palace!" Suo'etu stood up, took out his pocket watch and looked, "It's just after the beginning of Xu, and there is still time. This matter has to be ordered by the emperor." !” After saying that, the two of them hugged the briefcase and got up and hurried away.

At the time of Xushi, it was the time when the key was released at the palace gate. Eunuch Su La carried a lantern and patrolled the courtyard, yelling as he walked, "—pay for money and food, be careful—light—" At this time, Xiong Cilu and Suo'er Not only was Kangxi surprised by the picture, but Mingzhu, who was on duty at night in the upper study, didn't know what had happened. She picked up a lantern and rushed to Qianqing Palace to see Kangxi.

Documents, battle reports, and barometers from various places were piled up like hills on the kang, under the desks, and on the top of the gilded cabinets in the West Nuan Pavilion of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.Kangxi was hugging the six-year-old prince Yinreng, pointing to recognize the words on the memorial.Seeing Mingzhu coming in, she put the prince by her side, and said with a smile: "After all, you are close, so you came first—the empress dowager looked at me too tired, so it would be interesting to ask this little trick to mess around..." Mingzhu hurriedly paid her respects, He took the prince's hand again and said: "It's been a long time since I saw Lord Qiantui! He's taller! He's also put on weight, what a good fortune..." As he spoke, he took out a piece of sweet potato from his bosom, which he used to satisfy his hunger during the night Yes, said: "Little master, have you ever eaten this thing? It smells delicious!" The prince suddenly blinked his big eyes, looked at the pearl, and dared not take it. He smelled a tangy fragrance and was reluctant to part with it.After a moment of hesitation, he snatched it away with his hands, and threw his head into Kangxi's arms.

"Look, what kind of talk is this!" Kangxi laughed, "How can you pick up the things from the courtiers like this? Didn't your eunuchs teach you?"

"I'm afraid..." The prince raised his head and looked at Kangxi, "His eyes are so bright..." Then he looked back at Mingzhu.Mingzhu feels bored embarrassingly.

For a while, led by Jie Shu, Suo'etu and Xiong Cilu came in one by one.Kangxi smiled and said: "I can't think of any important things to hand over the sign at this time. Could it be that the case box was not handed in, for fear of being punished?" The method of food was explained one by one, and then he played slowly: "The minister waited for Kuiye to alarm the holy car, not for these things. It is for a murder case, please the emperor to order!" What happened at the door clearly explained Kangxi in detail.

"You are right to come in." Kangxi frowned all the time and listened, and asked someone to carry the drowsy prince away, Fang said: "I think this matter should be looked at in two levels: the first level is under the eyes of the court. I can't manage the affairs in the west, and I can't turn against Ge Erdan. Ge Long brought 2000 people to Beijing, which is a lawless king. I don't punish him, and I don't see him, just thinking about the best way. Erdan, don't provoke him for the time being. On the second floor, they murdered people in the capital, and they have to be punished. They murdered a murderer, not to mention killing an imperial court official! If the imperial court is tolerant, they will become more embarrassing, and I don't know what will happen in the future !"

Jie Shu smiled and said: "Master is very right. But now the war in Yunnan is not over, it is not appropriate to start a war. He killed people and made troubles, in order to force the master to meet him and admit Galdan's position. A few days ago Ge Long As soon as he entered Beijing, the Sixth Division of the Li Fan Court consulted, and no one advocated to offend Galdan. The slave thought, since he can’t offend, why not just treat the princess back to him as a favor, and if the crime of murder is not pursued for the time being, he will not be punished. I made an excuse..." Hearing this, Xiong Cilu felt disapproving, but Jie Shu was the king of politics, so it was not good.Blushing and sneering, he said with a sneer: "Foreign envoys to visit the Celestial Court, how can they be so unruly? It's not that the Imperial Court can't beat him, it's that they can't leave him alone right now! It's really inappropriate for the officials of the six ministries to say such weak words! " Mingzhu has always played the flag of the wind in front of Kangxi, and said: "This matter is neither soft nor strong, it is just at the right time. He has already sweated, but he just wants to get the court's approval. The servant thought, why don't you borrow this The case summoned Gelong, and he spoke kind words to comfort him, while at the same time severely reprimanded him, and punished the murderer, wouldn't it be all-encompassing?"

"What about the princess?" Suoetu asked coldly, "When Gelong met with us, what if he asked: 'We ask for the enemies of the tribe, why are you protecting them?' What should I do?"

This is an insoluble problem.Gelong has 2000 people in Beijing, and the princess stays in Beijing. It is uncertain when she will be discovered again.If Galdan is to be restored, he cannot be given a handle.Kangxi had received a secret report a long time ago, saying that Princess Tuxietu was living in the Central Plains.He had secretly told various places to pay attention to visits, but unexpectedly she was very close at hand. He wanted her to live in the palace, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate.Just ignoring her, Mingzhu clapped her hands and said, "Let her go quietly overnight, it's called death without proof! Such a big Zhongyuan, where are they going to find it?"

"Where to put it?" Kangxi said, "She went to Beijing to sue the imperial court, she was released, but she still wants to come, what should I do?"

Xiong Cilu pondered for a long time, and said: "That's the only way... I asked a family member to take Baori Longmei out of Beijing at night, and put it in my hometown in Hubei Province. Let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future..."

The plan was agreed on that day, and the ministers resigned, and Kangxi opened the memorial box to review the memorial overnight.

On the second day, Kangxi closed his study and the ministers gathered in the Zhengda Guangming Hall of Qianqing Palace to meet Gelong.After reading Ge Li's memorial last night, he was so angry that he flew into a rage, and ordered Xiong to issue a draft edict that Jackie Chan would be arrested immediately and brought to Beijing for strict discussion with the Ministry.But he drafted two drafts, but he was not satisfied, and always felt that something was missing.With a gloomy face, he looked at the drizzle outside, saw Gelong come in, and hurriedly stopped his god. After Gelong had saluted, Fang asked: "Gelong, do you know what this place is? You actually indulged your subordinates?" Disturbing the capital and robbing the women? Are you going to rebel?" Gelong hurriedly kowtowed: "This is Bogda Khan's imperial city! Please forgive me, the emperor, I am a loyal subordinate of Bo Shuo Ketu Khan, and our Khan has orders : Whenever you see anyone from the Tuxietu Department, you will be shot to death! So it is regrettable that there was a conflict with the Household Department."
