Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 89 Worshiping the Xiaoling Mausoleum, Kangxi Weeps the Emperor’s Master Su Linggu, and the Officials Sue the Imperial Court (2)
"Master," Wei Dongting saw that Kangxi was hurt in the wind, took out a jacket and put it on him lightly from behind, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Wu's last wish is to put his ashes in the Yangtze River, there is no his tomb here..." Kangxi said lightly "It's good that you don't play. But you don't know, how lonely I am without Mr. Wu! The ruler of the country can be re-selected after he dies. If he is gone, who else can call me 'Longer' What about it?" Wei Dongting hurriedly wiped away his tears and said: "Master, don't be too sad. Survey the southeast first, and then determine the northwest. This is Mr. Wu's grand plan for the emperor, and he has already done a leveling. Mr. Wu is in the spirit of the sky. If you see the master's achievements today, it will be very deep. Condolences must be full of joy."

The two monarchs and ministers were talking, when Wu Dan, who was guarding in the distance, shouted viciously: "Who are you, what are you doing?" Both of them were taken aback. Mud comes.Seeing Kangxi standing in front of the steps, Yu Chenglong hurriedly kowtowed in the rain.

"Come in and talk," Kangxi saw that Jackie Chan was drenched all over, turned around and entered the hall, sat down on the wooden couch and said, "What's the matter? - Pour him a cup of hot tea!"

Yu Chenglong thanked him, took out a piece of paper from the boot page, and held it to Kangxi with both hands.When Kangxi took it to read, it was the mansion newspaper handed in yesterday, saying that there was no rain in Zhili in January and the drought caused the disaster. He couldn't help laughing: "I have known about this for a long time. You came here because of this Babaer ?" Yu Chenglong looked around, but Gao Shiqi was not in front of him, so he bowed his body and said loudly: "The lack of rain in the capital is a warning from the sky, and the villain has deceived Sheng Cong! , then the rain will surely fall!" Wei Dongting, Mu Zixu and the others were all taken aback when these words came out.It has been ten years since Kangxi decided to withdraw from the domain in the 12th year of Kangxi.Mingzhu said one thing in front of Kangxi, no minister has ever dared to brag about a horse, this is so bold for Jackie Chan!
There was no expression on Kangxi's face. After a while, Fang asked coldly: "How can you see that?"

"Your Majesty, it doesn't rain for a long time. In terms of 'Yi', it is the 'Yang' hexagram of Qian Xia Du Shang, because the villain occupies the Ding Xuan, so the 'Tian Tun Qi Gao' is dry and has no rain." He said unhurriedly, "The sage set up the Tao to embody the principles of heaven and man. What the minister said is not false, and there are facts to prove it. Mingzhu linked up with Xu Qianxue, Yu Guozhu and others to control the cabinet to bully the top and down. It has become a trend that cannot be lost. Sentencing officials are all dictated by Mingzhu, who say it is light or serious, and the ministers dare not speak out. The emperor sometimes has strict orders to criticize, but he is also obedient and violative, and he never knows how to correct his mistakes..." Yu Chenglong sneered In terms of speaking, Mingzhu's appearance is soft and sweet, but her heart is sinister and deceitful, and all kinds of illegal things have been turned out, "Does the emperor know? This year, all provinces have completed their appointments and reported to your Majesty. All the vacancies will be negotiated! There is a shortage in two rounds, a shortage of 3000 rounds, and there is a vacancy to be selected if there is no silver! It turned out to be genuine, and no one can deceive anyone——Xia Qitong was originally a rich man in Shaanxi, and he was flattered by the examiners in every possible way. I misunderstood that it was Xia Qitong, and forced him to recruit people, and then donated high-ranking officials. Censor Li Chengqian and Wu Zhenfang bluntly impeached, and they were immediately demoted..."

The more Kangxi listened, the more shocked he became. He had heard of Xia Qitong Yu Chenglong mentioned.Some of what Yu Chenglong is shaking off now, Kangxi used to listen to as a joke and knew the general idea, and some didn't know at all.Hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help but said: "Speak slowly. What about Li Chengqian and Wu Zhenfang? What are they talking about in the scriptures? Didn't they call Tibet Sangjieren to contact the wrong station?"

"If the emperor sees their bullets, how can Mingzhu commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Yu Chenglong's face flushed with excitement, "Li and Wu can't tell if they live or die now!"

Kangxi's face turned red all of a sudden, and after thinking silently for a while, he came back to his senses and said, "What else are you talking about?" Yu Chenglong straightened his body, cupped his hands and said, "The crown prince is the heir apparent of the country. Mingzhu was proposed by Zhou Peigong , The second son of the emperor was established as the prince, and he was worried about it. He planned to transfer Zhou Peigong's adversity to Xu He Guizhu. A good general, isn't it a pity? Li Guangdi, a great scholar, is not attached to the pearl, that is, he is accused of accusing him of blatant deceit and conspiracy...his talent is enough to confuse the Lord, and his wisdom is enough to cover up evil. All the civil and military men and women in the dynasty have heard of the name of the pearl. .The minister is a minister and ranks in the frontier. If you don't report the truth, it will be difficult to repay the emperor's kindness!" After speaking, he took a heavy breath and stared at Kangxi without saying a word.Hearing about Zhou Peigong, Kangxi suddenly remembered that Suo'etu had said hesitantly that when he asked to marry Aunt Su Ma, it was also a wildfire set by Mingzhu. After two rounds of verification, he knew that Yu Jackie was not lying. Unexpectedly, Mingzhu, the slave, was so wrong. thing!The color on Kangxi's face calmed down, and he remained silent for a long time.The case was too big, and he couldn't let it go for a while.Mingzhu has been in politics for 16 years, and she has always been in line with herself in the country's major politics. Officials from all over the world have been out of their homes, and a large prison has been set up. It is not just a few people who have been dismissed, but a large number of people. It's about to be turbulent.And once he went to Mingzhu, Suo'etu lived alone in the center, and it was difficult for the two Han officials, Xiong Cilu and Gao Shiqi, to restrain him.He always suspected that Suo'etu had something to do with the Jiangnan Rebellion Case. If so, then...

While he was meditating, Gao Shiqi came in with a grin in his oil coat, and while beating Qian'er to salute, he said: "The servant went to the meditation hall to make a fuss, the old monk was reciting sutras, and didn't care about people. The servant listened to what he was reciting." No eyes "Ear, nose, tongue, body" and added a sentence, "Your old man has a shaved head and no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body. What has become of that?" He opened his eyes and had a chat with his slaves for a while..." This sentence made everyone cover their mouths. Laughing, even the serious Yu Chenglong couldn't help but smile.

"I'm just about to call you," Kangxi said with a smile, "Yu Chenglong played Mingzhu's bribery and breaking the law, forming cliques for personal gain, being jealous of meritorious deeds, do you know these things?"

Gao Shiqi was taken aback, gasped, and his face immediately turned pale.Knowing that Kangxi was in a bad mood, he pretended to be a joke and wanted to please Shenggong, but was blocked by Kangxi's series of questions.He didn't expect that Yu Chenglong would take this opportunity to sue Mingzhu for his bad behavior.After a long time, Fang said: "I don't know what Yu Chenglong is really referring to? This matter is no small matter, Rong Chen thinks about it." Yu Chenglong then roughly said what he said just now.In fact, Gao Shiqi was clear about these things, but it happened too suddenly, he needed time to think about it.After Yu Chenglong finished speaking, Gao Shiqi also wanted to refresh himself, so he kowtowed and said, "There are all of them."

"Since there are all of them," Kangxi suddenly changed his face, and asked sharply, "why don't the prisoner tell the truth?" Even Gao Shiqi, who was eloquent and quick-witted, became confused under Kangxi's glaring eyes, and hurriedly kowtowed. "Mingzhu's treachery is well known in the court, but people are not afraid of death in this world! Even if Suo'etu and Xiong Cilu have worked with Mingzhu for many years, they still keep silent, let alone a mere slave official?" Kangxi spat "bah" and cursed: "Fart! You are loyal to the king. Since you are afraid of death, don't do things in front of me!"

Gao Shiqi had never touched such a hard nail since he was with Kangxi, at this time Tianwei was furious, he realized the severity, his back was chilly, he was sweating from fright, he just kowtowed and remained silent.Seeing that Kangxi angered Gao Shiqi, Wei Dongting hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Mingzhu is treacherous and treacherous, she deceives the emperor, her intentions are not righteous, and her power is enough to trap virtuous people. If there is no real evidence, the slaves will not dare to report easily. I beseech the Lord." Punishment!" Gao Shiqi couldn't help feeling ashamed: I've heard for a long time that Wei Dongting is an outstanding man, and he really deserves his reputation. If it's so decent, why didn't he think of it?
Kangxi looked around, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Mingzhu, a child from a poor family, is it more difficult to get rid of than Oboi?" Gao Shiqi finally found a gap in his words, and hurriedly said: "Oboi is an open flame against the sky, Mingzhu It is to rely on the sacred power of the master to do his best. To remove the pearl is as easy as the palm of the hand on the master, and with the meager power of a slave, it is like a mayfly shaking a tree!"

Although these words were not without flattery, Kangxi thought about it and felt that it was true. Yu Chenglong didn't expect this matter to be done so smoothly, but he felt that his worries were ridiculous at the beginning. He was most worried that Gao Shiqi would protect Mingzhu. He also made it clear to his face, and relieved himself, he no longer complained against Gao Shiqi, and then said: "Gao Shiqi's performance is also reasonable. The servant has also looked forward and backward for many years before he dared to do this."

"I have to talk about it again. Yu Chenglong, I can't allow you to play right now." Kangxi said abruptly, and everyone was stunned again. Now he thought carefully, and the more serious the matter was, he got up and took two steps. He said gloomyly: "It is not the blessing of the country to change the prime minister frequently. During the Xiangxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the prime ministers were counted every year, and the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty changed 17 prime ministers in 54 years. What is the result? I think that the prosperity is the result of turning major events into small ones. Elephant. Mingzhu is certainly not a talent, but compared to his merits, he is still too small, I have to look again, if he does evil again, I will take him out without you talking!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at the stunned crowd and ordered: "Whoever dares to speak out about today's matter will harm Jackie Chan, and I will take his head! Yu Chenglong went back to draw up a secret document, and the yellow box was directly handed over to Gao Shiqi for archival purposes. No one but me can do it." Read it—kneel down!"

"Cha!" All the people were stunned by these words, they knelt down in unison, and slowly exited the meditation hall.
