Chapter 19 Prequel to Empress Dowager Cixi (9-1)

King Jin took Sushun, making it so tense, like facing a big enemy, King Gong never thought of it. According to the actual situation, he didn't have time to pay attention to revenge against Sushun, the only major event in front of his eyes , is to stabilize the political situation, and the first thing to do is to take over the political power. The system of Minister Gu Ming was smashed to pieces in an instant!In this way, the authority of the Military Aircraft Department will naturally be restored. Logically speaking, Wen Xiang is the only Minister of Military Aircraft left behind.Therefore, during the transition period, he should be the only person who holds power and inherits the past and ushers in the future.However, Wen Xiang's character naturally refused to assume such an important position. In order for King Gong's comeback to show the significance of a complete change in the court situation, the former emperor——Emperor Wen Zongxian's relatives and ministers of military affairs were all dismissed, and the court was completely reorganized. Wen Hsiang is equal to re-entering the straight with the new qualifications.

When Sushun was roaring and cursing in Miyun, in the Jianyuan of Daxiangfeng Hutong in Beijing, and in the painting pavilion near the lake, the heavy curtains were hanging down, and the lights were dim. The list of ministers of secret business and military affairs. Based on the principle, Prince Gong asked, "Are we five or six?" "It turned out to be five, or five!" "Okay, let's tentatively set five." Prince Gong accepted Wen Xiang's opinion, picked up a pen himself, and wrote "Cao Yuying" at the end of the paper, while saying: "One radish and one hole, as carved as Jiao Youying. lack."

Cao Yuying hurriedly left the seat and thanked him, but before he was allowed to speak, Bao Jun pulled him to sit down, "You are welcome!" He said, "The scorched hemp seed is yours." "That's right." Prince Gong nodded, picked up his pen and said, "Bo Chuan will naturally stay in office." He wrote the name "Wenxiang" before Cao Yuying, but there was a wide gap between the two, and Bao Jun knew that this empty space was reserved for him.So relieved. When he has his own fortune, he has to plan for others. Baojun and Prince Gong have a very close personal relationship, to the point where they can flirt with each other, so they shouted in a slightly frivolous voice: "Wait a minute! We have to give What kind of trick does Liu Ye think of?"

"What trick did you say?" Prince Gong asked in astonishment. Wen Xiang was well aware of Bao Jun's habit of speaking, so he explained to him: "Pei Heng means name." When he said this, Cao Yuying immediately thought of three words: "Prince Regent". But this name must not be used, it will make people think of Dorgon. "I thought of one, see if it works?" Zhu Xueqin read it clearly: "The King of Political Affairs." Everyone praised it unanimously, and Prince Gong nodded deeply, expressing his satisfaction. So Zhu Xueqin moved the list from in front of King Gong, took a pen and wrote the word "Prince of Political Affairs" on the front, then looked at Bao Yun, and then at Prince Gong, meaning to ask for evidence.

"Add Peiheng's name!" Hearing this, Bao Yun stood up with a smile, greeted Prince Gong, and said, "Thank you, Master Liu, for your cultivation." At this moment, there is only one vacancy left for the five scheduled military ministers. Bao Jun knows that Prince Gong intends to bring in his father-in-law, Gui Liang, but considering his relationship with Prince Gong and Gui Liang, it is inconvenient. Open your mouth, if you want to make this proposal, you must have an excellent explanation, and this explanation is really not easy to think of at once. Wen Xiang naturally knew of Prince Gong's intentions, but the moment he and Bao Yun were nominated, he suddenly saw something else, and he wanted to keep his position of making suggestions, and refused to speak.In this way, only Cao Yuying and Zhu Xueqin were left.They are all very measured people, knowing that with Guiliang's status, if he is recommended by someone who is not worthy enough to join the army, the recommended person will be ashamed. Isn't that just flattering?Therefore, they refused to speak.

This short silence is naturally inappropriate to appear on such an occasion of celebrating each other, so when you look at me and I look at you, you all suffer from not knowing how to talk about it.Finally, because of Prince Gong's wink, Cao Yuying spoke up. "I don't know what Duke Yan means?" He said slowly, "In my opinion, Duke Yan is absolutely indispensable!" Hearing these words, Bao Jun hurriedly said, "I feel the same way. Zhuo Ru, let me listen to you first." "Western affairs are the most important thing at present. Since the Sixth Prince is in charge of Shu affairs, naturally he can't concentrate on it. Duke Yan has seen Hongwei, and he has always been admired by foreigners. If he participates in the maintenance, the negotiations with foreigners in the future will be very smooth. This is one."

"Yes, yes. Please tell me the second." "Universities and scholars go directly to the army, and then they are the real prime ministers. The six princes are in charge of the country with their relatives and relatives, and they are supplemented by the old and mature Duke Yan, who has increased the importance of the court and is more than enough to appeal to the hearts of the people." "Yeah, yeah." Prince Gong nodded and said, "Zhuo Ru is really not ignorant. Let's do it like this!" So Bao Yun happily picked up a pen, wrote Gui Liang's name after Prince Gong, and then handed the list to Prince Gong.

Prince Gong glanced at it briefly, pushed the list to the middle of the table, and said with a selfless attitude: "It is proposed to be so drafted, and it cannot be said to be a final decision. Do you have any comments? I am happy to report anything that is beneficial to the overall situation." Two palaces." Only Wen Xiang had something to say, but obviously, he didn't want to make it public at this time, and only said: "Eat something before we talk!" On a rosewood square table next to it, the cups, chopsticks, and cold meats had already been laid out. When everyone left their seats, the servants immediately brought the wine, followed by the delicate and clean delicacies and snacks, which were brought to the table one after another.Although it was a late-night drink, it was like a celebration banquet in nature. Everyone chatted and drank quickly, with great interest.

Wen Xiang was the first to finish eating, took a silver tooth-picking stick, and walked to the side leisurely. Prince Gong had been paying attention to him for a long time. When he raised his eyes and saw his gaze cast over him, he also put down his chopsticks, but sat for a while, Dao Sheng: "Excuse me", and then slowly walked over. There is a huge mirror in the pavilion, which is facing the back lake. The weather is beautiful and windy, and the scenery of the back lake is reflected in the mirror.At this moment, the two of them stood behind the big mirror, talking in secret. "Let me tell the truth!" Wen Xiang said bluntly, "I'm going to go back on my word. Five military planes are not enough, so I need to add at least one more."

"Could it be that there is someone in your mind who wants a place?" "Don't dare!" Wen Xiang replied, "I just persuade the sixth master to show the world to be selfless." "This," Prince Gong was taken aback, he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be because of my old man?" "No! Duke Yan is straight, no one will gossip." Wen Xiang lowered his voice and said, "I asked the sixth master to take a look at the overall situation. It turns out that it is two full and three Han." "Ah!" Prince Gong was originally a very sensitive person, so he knew it all. Among the military ministers, Mu Yin and Wen Xiang were bannermen, while Kuang Yuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying were Han Chinese. This will arouse deep suspicion inside and outside Beijing, so he patted him on the shoulder gratefully and gratifiedly, and said repeatedly: "I know it, I know it!"

The two walked back again, and the three didn't know what they said at all.After supper, refreshed, drinking tea and smoking, we continued to discuss personnel arrangements. "Su Liu was dismissed and questioned. The vacancy in the household department is very important." Bao Jun asked: "Who should be sent, did Liu Ye ever think of it?" Because of Wen Xiang's reminder, Prince Gong reused Han and Mongolia at this time, with the aim of helping each other and stabilizing the overall situation. After careful consideration for a while, he proposed to use Ruichang to make up for Sushun's vacancy. Adjust Zuodu Yushi Airen to make up.Such a transfer, as a result of Sushun's dismissal, left a vacant vacancy for Zuodu censor. This is a full vacancy, which must be filled by bannermen. "I have no prejudice." Prince Gong looked at Wen Xiang and asked, "Bo Chuan, what do you think?" "If you want me to recommend it, I will recommend Lin Meigu." Meigu is Linkui's nickname. He is a Manchurian with a white banner.As early as the 23rd year of Daoguang, he was a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Because the Yellow River broke through in Zhongmou, the supervisor of the river construction went into trouble.In the tenth year of Xianfeng, he was also a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and troubles occurred again—it was just that a sentence in the memorial was wrong, and he was demoted to be a servant of the Ministry of Punishment.The internal criminals of the British and French allied forces were ordered to be the right-wing commander-in-chief of the infantry commanding the yamen. The coalition forces were violent, so they set a fire and died together with the enemy.These achievements were not only witnessed by Wen Xiang, who also served as the left-wing commander, but also well known by the ministers in Beijing, so when Wen Xiang proposed him, everyone clapped their hands and praised him, thinking that Lin Kui should be rewarded. When these arrangements were in place, Prince Gong proposed to add a Minister of Military Aircraft, and specified that he would be selected from the six Han Shangshu.Everyone understands that Prince Gong is interested in Shen Zhaolin.Sushun and him were divided into two ministers of the Household Department, the Manchu and the Han Dynasty. Sushun followed the retinue to Rehe, and it took a lot of effort for him to provide financial support in Beijing. Moreover, he was also a master of the anti-su. Advocating hanging curtains is a meritorious service, which is quite appreciated by Prince Gong. It was still Bao Jun's proposal, and with the unanimous consent, it was a foregone conclusion.At this time, it was the hour of Yinzheng, and Prince Gong didn't sleep any more, and took the list with him to the palace. The empress dowagers of the two palaces were still summoning Prince Gong in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he first presented the list of ministers of military affairs, asking for an order to make a decision. The Empress Dowager Cixi also thought about it half the night, and discussed with the Empress Dowager Ci'an that she would give Prince Gong a special honor to reward him for his great service in protecting the holy bow and helping the community. In fact, remuneration is still secondary, and the main thing is to make a "deal". The Empress Dowager Cixi knew that Sushun was defeated, but the discussion was not a foregone conclusion. , and the ministers must "consider the past and the present, and make a compromise." There is a lot of room for expansion and contraction, and the key lies in Prince Gong alone. representation. So she thought of the proposal led by Jia Zhen the day before, and the memorial of Shengbao sent up at the same time. Instigated, the terms of the transaction were set out.Use his "assistant administration" in exchange for the Queen Mother's "hands-on administration".Realizing this, she immediately knew what she should do. "Sixth Master!" she said, "Our sisters have already discussed it, and we have to give you another title. What do you think of 'Counterlord King'?" This sentence went straight to Prince Gong's heart. He couldn't proclaim himself the "Prince of Discussion", so he still only wrote his name on the list. He hesitated a lot on how to ask for this grace. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Cixi was so astute that she could fully comprehend it. Sheng Bao's deep meaning in that note!Apart from joy, I have to admire her insight and skills. However, the title of "auxiliary government" has been seen in the Ming Dynasty's edict the day before, and the traces are too obvious to be appropriate.So King Gong immediately replied with his hands down: "I dare not resign from the kindness of the two empress dowagers. However, I dare not accept the word 'assisting the government'. The two empress dowagers personally preside over the government, and the minister is just participating in the final discussion." The Empress Dowager Ci'an was honest and thought that he was resigning modestly, but the Empress Dowager Cixi heard every word of him clearly. On the one hand, she "judged the great government herself" and on the other hand "attended the last discussion". The transaction has been successful, and the difference is only one word discretion.Since she said "reckless participation in the final discussion", then, she said: "Let's call it the 'king of politics'!" "Yes!" Prince Gong kowtowed to thank him. "Please get up, please get up!" The Empress Dowager Ci'an said repeatedly, and at the same time gave them a seat and tea, and calmly discussed the plan to reorganize the government. The title has been determined, and it is the first time that Prince Gong formally conveys to Chen Dazheng, his expression of eloquence is quite different from the previous meeting, with indistinct speech and many scruples.He first mentioned that Sushun's party members spread all over the country and abroad. It is not easy to sanction him. It seems that everything is going well now, but if it is not handled properly, the overall situation will not be stable, and it will affect the military ahead. This naturally led to a conclusion that in order to stabilize the overall situation, it is necessary to appease all parties, especially to win the help of the Han people and Mongolia.The transfer of the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry is for this purpose. The Empress Dowager Cixi kept nodding her head in agreement, but she knew in her heart that Prince Gong's words were to be discounted, at least Guiliang and Baojun's plans to join the army were really selfless?Similarly, Empress Dowager Ci'an also had an aversion to Bao Yun, just because the first emperor hated him.So, she thought of the few people the late Emperor had mentioned, and asked, "That Woren, what are you doing now?" This surprised Prince Gong again, he didn't know how this loyal and honest queen mother knew there was such a person as Wo Ren? "Woren is Fengtian's Minister of the Household Department, and now he has been sent to North Korea to issue an imperial edict." King Gong replied, "He is the teacher of King Dun, Zhenghongqi, Mongolia." "Woren's knowledge is good." The Empress Dowager Ci'an said again, "Transfer him to Beijing to see if there is a suitable job for him?" King Gong had an idea, and immediately replied: "Zuodu Censor Airen's Transfer Department, I'll give this to Woren." The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't know what kind of person Wo Ren was, so she immediately said: "The censor of Zuodu must be a square person." "Woren is a master of Taoism, so he is naturally upright." The Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at Prince Gong and asked, "Sixth Master, is it?" "Yes! Wo Ren is a square person, but he is a little roundabout." "That's not scary. There are too many smart people these days, so it's better to be a little more literal-minded." Speaking of which, it can be said that it is a foregone conclusion that Wo Ren will be promoted to Zuodu Censor, but Empress Dowager Cixi refuses to follow. Is there power to change it?And from this test, we can also see what kind of degree Gong Wang's respect is? So she said: "Let's call Wo Ren back first, let's talk about it!" "That's fine." The Empress Dowager Ci'an quickly gave in. This way, Prince Gong doesn't need to say anything more.The conversation changed, and when it came to Zaiyuan, the position of Zongling of the clan mansion that he was concurrently leading naturally had to be vacated, and for the convenience of restraining the clan and punishing the crimes of Zaiyuan and others, the vacancy naturally fell to Gong On the king's head. When Zaiyuan talked about Sushun, the Empress Dowager Cixi was excited again: "He has managed the money for so many years, and it is also from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He spent it himself and reimbursed him. He must have scraped a lot! Sixth Lord, Think about it, everyone in Rehe is suffering terribly, and he is building a big garden there, does this person still have a heart? If you don’t copy this kind of person’s house, whose home will be copied?” "The Holy Mother and Empress Dowager can see it." Prince Gong replied: "The minister has already sent someone to guard his house first, every plant and tree are not allowed to move." "Okay! There is also the Rehe side, and we have to send people to seal it up." Prince Gong was going to copy the houses of Zaiyuan, Duanhua and Sushun. The residences of Yi and Zheng are famously rich, so copying their homes will be of great benefit to the empty treasury.As for copying Sushun's house, he hoped that some evidence of treason would be copied, so that it would be easier to punish him with death.Therefore, I readily agreed to the instructions of the Empress Dowager Cixi, knelt down and resigned from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, went to make a draft, and then came to play in person. The Mier Mental Cultivation Hall of the Military Aircraft Department is just a few steps away.I saw that the three academicians, as well as the pre-appointed ministers of military affairs, including Shen Zhaolin, had all arrived. Prince Gong announced his will in person, congratulated each other and thanked each other modestly, and a new government was formed.Jia Zhen and Zhou Zupei bid farewell and returned to the cabinet.Under the auspices of Prince Gong, the six ministers of military aircraft held a meeting with the door tightly closed, and agreed on the principles of several important matters to be done at the moment, and assigned each person's tasks.The first is the law and order of Gyeonggi, which Wenxiang is in charge of. The second is to coordinate the cabinet, convene the princes and ministers, the six ministers, the nine ministers, Han Zhanke and Daoji to discuss the rules of etiquette for the curtain, and to charge the eight ministers of Gu Ming. This is an arduous task. , falling on Shen Zhaolin's shoulders.For the rest, Bao Jun was in charge of contacting and traveling outside, and Cao Yuying presided over the imperial edict inside.Prince Gong is naturally in charge of the military aircraft department, while Gui Liang respects all his peers due to his age, so he is only asked to be a consultant. When their discussion was over, Zhu Xueqin had completely completed the draft of the decree relayed by Prince Gong. When the whole class was about to enter the hall to play the two palaces, Yang Da, the special envoy sent by Wenxiang to Miyun, came back and returned. In order to hear the results of Prince Rui and Prince Chun's capture of Sushun, the Minister of Military Aircraft specially stayed behind and ordered Yang Da to come in and report. The second half of the capture of Sushun was witnessed by Yang Da himself, so his narration is also slightly detailed.When Sushun was escorted to the "old camp" where Prince Rui was guarding, he once roared loudly. Yang Da described his expression of resistance and disobedience, but he dared not quote his words, and his hesitation aroused everyone's concern. Everyone knew that what Sushun said must be "unbearable to hear", so they didn't ask, except for King Gong. "What did Sushun say?" He looked at Yang Da and asked. "I don't dare to say it in a humble position." "It doesn't matter! You have agreed." "Anyway, it's all rebellious nonsense." "What exactly is it?" Prince Gong assured him again, "No matter what it is, just say it straight." So Yang Da boldly recounted Sushun's roar. He scolded King Gong and Empress Dowager Cixi, his uncles and sisters-in-law were in collusion, and said that the relatives and dignitaries of the court were all wine bags and rice bags. Is there a situation where the danger is saved today?But when the situation is stable, he treats the hero like this, ungrateful, and the dog will not eat!He also scolded Prince Gong for liaising with foreign countries, coercing the self-respect of foreigners, and having the painstaking efforts to bear the late emperor's national humiliation and promote the country's prestige.They also scolded the Jiangnan elders in Beijing very harshly, saying that they didn't care about the fall of their hometown, but only knew about selfishness, fraud, and pleasure, and they had no heart at all. Those ministers of military affairs, all of them have cultivated themselves. Although they were angry in their hearts, they were still calm on the surface. Only when they waved Yang Da back did someone sneer. It was Bao Yun: "Hum!" He squeezed out a sentence through his teeth : "Just because he escorted Zigong and dared to take his concubine with him, he deserves to die!" Prince Gong, on the other hand, forced himself to remain calm, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it when we see the superior!" So he handed over the "card" and went in. The two palaces formally summoned the whole class of military ministers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The two empress dowagers sat on the kang, and the little emperor sat on the ground, slightly to the east. The leader, Cao Yuying, the tail, kowtowed in three groups.Empress Dowager Cixi ordered: "Stand up and talk!" Then she looked at Empress Dowager Ci'an and motioned her to say a few polite words. Before saying anything, the Empress Dowager Ci'an sighed: "Ah! The emperor is too young, and our sisters are young. It's up to the Sixth Lord and everyone else to work hard to maintain the situation. Work hard everyone!" The words were so trivial that they didn't touch the itching point, so the Empress Dowager Cixi went on to say: "For more than a year, the king of Jingli and everyone worked hard to maintain it. The Emperor Daxing knew about the hard work. It was Sushun and the others who deceived and manipulated everyone. We all saw the behavior of these three people with our own eyes. Let them not be punished, okay? Even Mu Yin and the others were also oppressed by Sushun. The original intention may not be too bad. Now, the most important thing is to stabilize the overall situation. Sushun, Zaiyuan, and Duanhua must be strictly dealt with! The rest are justifiable, so we might as well be lenient." The ministers of military affairs were all deeply impressed by her instructions to "stabilize the overall situation", especially the five people who met the queen mothers of the two palaces for the first time felt that the talents of the West Palace were far better than those of the East Palace. "Has Sushun caught it?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked again. "I've got it!" Prince Gong replied, "I just got the news, and Prince Chun has personally escorted him to Beijing." This was the happiest moment in Empress Dowager Cixi's life. All the humiliation suffered by Zi Sushun was fully compensated in the news of his arrest.Life is alive, what is happiness?This is!But she still has shortcomings, and she has to repay her kindness in addition to her revenge.She thought of Wu Tang, knowing that he was in the south of the Yangtze River, she wanted to repay him well, at least give him a red cap!Of course, we can’t talk about this at this time. When the matter of the curtain is settled, we can say what we say at that time. We can calmly choose someone who is rich and expensive, and ask Wu Tang to give him an unexpected job. That is comparable to Han Xin’s daughter. Baode is much higher. Thinking about it this way, I felt as if I had been favored at the beginning of the year, and I came to serve a drink at night. Before the wine arrived, I was drunk first, a feeling of being as high as a fairy, which is simply indescribable.But when he looked up and saw the expressions of Prince Gong and the Minister of Military Aircraft waiting for orders in awe, he realized that he was almost lost in ecstasy.Hurry up to make up your mind, find the words just now, and then ask: "How is Sushun? But An An complies with the order?" Prince Gong waited for her to ask this question, so he said with a somewhat rhetorical expression: "Is Su Shun such a person? Of course he has no eyes on the king, and he is snarling and dissatisfied." "Oh!" Empress Dowager Cixi became angry again, "What's the roar? What did he say?" "The words of disobedience are unbearable for the ministers to hear." The Empress Dowager Cixi turned to look at Ci'an with a sneer and said, "Hmph, take a look, is there a reason for death?" "There are two empress dowagers to be played, and Sushun escorts the Zigong, and they go to another mansion along the way, bringing two family members with them." "How is this possible?" Empress Dowager Ci'an blurted out her condemnation, "Sushun is really outrageous!" The Empress Dowager Cixi sneered again and again, with the humble expression of disgusting hypocrites and hypocrisy: "You are all in Beijing, and you haven't seen Sushun's face outside." She simply satirized Sushun: "In the heat He, he is also the Minister of Internal Affairs who leads the guards and the Minister of Internal Affairs. He enters and exits the inner court as if he is in his own home. Go play..." Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Ci'an coughed heavily, and she knew that this was to remind her not to tell about Wen Zong's insignificant behavior and the legendary widow Cao, in order to save some face for the late emperor. So, she paused and said: "For those who don't know, seeing Sushun's appearance in front of Emperor Daxing, who would not say that his filial piety is rare? He himself said that serving the king is like a father. Hmph! Is it filial piety to escort Zi Guan and not forget to take his two goblins with him?" The Empress Dowager Cixi actually made such indecent words about "goblins" when she was in court, which seemed to confirm a rumor outside that the two concubines of Sushun, who knew nothing about the heights of heaven and earth, had offended the Empress Dowager Cixi in Rehe .But no matter whether there is personal grievance or not, Gangchang Mingjiao must be maintained, and even the most fair and peaceful Wenxiang feels that Sushun's move is unforgivable. "No matter what, Sushun's crime is more than one death." The Empress Dowager Cixi said decisively: "His home should be raided first! Let's do it today." "Yes." Prince Gong agreed, and sent all the drafts up. After the empress dowagers of the two palaces stamped it, he withdrew and sent Wen Xiang and Bao Yun to copy Sushun's house. The imperial decree conferred on the king of politics was forwarded to the cabinet for Mingfa. At that time, there were rumors outside, but I only knew that there was a major reversal in the court situation, but I didn't know the details?Because this coup d'état that could shake Nine Cities, in Beijing, only Zaiyuan and Duanhua were taken to Jiaozong's mansion, which is an obvious sign, and this sign only appears in the inner court, not the outside world. .At the same time, most of the officials above the third grade have left the city to live in Qinghe, a dozen miles away from Deshengmen, in order to welcome Zigong, and they don't even know about this change in Beijing.Generally, low-level officials are not qualified to hear the secrets of high-level officials, and they can't even inquire about them. It is inconvenient to talk about it openly, so as not to get involved in the whirlpool for no reason, so these rumors did not cause any waves in the officialdom. On the contrary, the folks got the news earlier and truer than the official circles, especially the residents in the Xichenghuangmuchang area. They learned from the dismissed sedan chairmen and attendants the day before that Prince Zheng was dismissed from the rank and arrested. It was discovered that there were more soldiers patrolling bravely near the Prince Zheng's mansion. On the evening of the first day of October, I finally saw Sushun ransacking the house again. It was Wen Xiang who came to copy it himself in a green woolen sedan chair. His entourage included not only the military officer of the yamen commanding the infantry, but also the officials of the yamen of the Clan Mansion, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the magistrates of Shuntian Mansion.These entourages have entourages, and each of them has several extremely capable book clerks.As soon as we arrived at the residence of Sushun in Pichai Hutong of Erlongkeng, which was opposite Wangheng of Prince Zheng's Mansion, the infantry commanded the army under the right-wing commander, and immediately surrounded the surroundings. The whip was swishing and rattling, but the onlookers couldn't be driven away. They stood in the distance one by one, watching Wen Xiang get off the sedan chair, lead his entourage, and enter Sushun's house with amazement. Sushun's wife had passed away a long time ago, and his two aunts and grandmothers were with him, and they were also arrested in the secret room at this time. There were only two sons in the family, and each of the two aunts and grandmothers gave birth to one. The eldest was thirteen years old, and his name was Zhengshan. Duanhua was inherited as the son of Prince Zheng, the youngest was Chengshan, only eight years old, he was born like Sushun, he was not afraid of anything, seeing so many people came, he thought it was very fun, he had to come out to watch the fun. Except for Chengshan, all the teachers, tents, butlers, servants, and maidservants in Sushun's family were trembling with fear, and none of them dared to speak to Wenxiang.Fortunately, Wen Xiang also understood this situation. When he sat down in the living room, he first ordered his attendants: "This job must be done beautifully and neatly! If anyone's hands and feet are not clean, don't blame me for not being sympathetic." "Cha!" The attendants agreed in unison. "Also, 'the crime is not as good as his wife and children', Sushun's crime has nothing to do with his family members. Don't make things difficult for others! " "Cha!" The attendants agreed again in unison. The task of copying that part has been assigned long ago. Seeing that Wen Xiang has nothing to say, everyone wants to spread out, but Wen Xiang shouted again: "Wait! Get the housekeeper here!" Sushun's housekeeper knew that he had to show up because he couldn't bear it, so he had been waiting by the hall wearing a big hat. Hearing this, he ran over, took off his big hat and kowtowed for Wen Xiang, and gave his name. "Your master's eldest child, has he passed away?" Wen Xiang asked. "Yes. Adopted to Sifang." That refers to Duanhua—Duanhua Xingsi. "Are you here now?" "exist!" "Send the two little brothers to his fourth uncle. It belongs to the two brothers, take them away as much as possible." At this time, Yang Yuansan was standing beside Wen Xiang, understanding what he meant, and woke up Sushun's housekeeper: "You have to understand Mr. Wen's words, it belongs to the two brothers, and you can take it away as much as possible. You should hurry up." Son!" Sushun's housekeeper woke up like a dream, kowtowed in thanks, and left in a hurry.This is Wen Xiang's kindness, let them take some soft things out, and sell them to make ends meet.Sushun's housekeeper had already understood, and knew that he would not allow him to take care of things calmly. When he got inside, he discussed with the teachers and accountants. So they ran into the upper room together, took an ax to split the box, first looked for jewelry, second calligraphy and painting antiques, and then picked large fur goods, and filled two boxes full.At that time, the servants of the whole family, according to word of mouth, also rushed to the upper room, took advantage of the fire to rob, and picked out good things to carry on their bodies.There were two or three more decent ones who yelled to stop others from looting, but they couldn't stop them, and they were jealous when they saw people getting rich, so they finally fell into the muddy water. After going on like this for half an hour, I heard the outside shout: "Everyone inside comes out!" Everyone turned around and looked out the window, only to see a military officer with a knife, leading several soldiers and servants, entering the yard, and then dodged to the sides to make way for Wen Xiang, who walked peacefully, walked in, looked up, Immediately he frowned. The people in the house came out one by one evasively, and the two large suitcases were also moved to the corridor. Sushun's housekeeper found Zhengshan and Chengshan and asked them to kowtow to Wenxiang to thank them. Thinking of Sushun Xuntian's arrogance and such a bleak end today, Wen Xiang felt very sad. Apart from the national law, the only thing that can help Sushun is to take care of his descendants.So Wen Xiang asked their brothers to stand up, and with the qualifications of elders, he comforted and said: "You two should go to your fourth uncle's place and study hard. After all, your father also contributed to the court. He is a talent. In the future, you two Learn from his talent, don't learn from his temper." At this point, he turned to Sushun's housekeeper: "I will send someone to send you out. I will leave your two little masters to you! You have to show your conscience.Otherwise, hum! "
