Chapter 38 Chapter 38

Master Wen's name is Liang, the word Jinchen, Xingliu, people also call him Wenliu, he is the sixth elder brother of the Prince Hui of the Western Regions.It was still ten years ago, when Wen Liang was sixteen years old, and King Hui's youngest daughter, Princess Na Shan, was fourteen years old, and they came to the capital to face the saint with their father.At that time, King Hui was still the ninth elder brother. The old Hui king fought for independence and was dispersed by General Ningxia of the Qing Dynasty. The other elder brothers all went to Tibet with the old Hui king. down.Seeing the honest and pleasant appearance of the ninth elder brother, the Lord Long Live made him King of Hui and presided over the great affairs of the Western Regions for the old King of Hui.After King Hui was appointed, he spent a few days in Beijing.One day, I went to the county prince's mansion for a drink, and the prince's son-in-law, Ange, happened to be with him.The lively and charming Princess Shan and the pink-skinned Wen Liang immediately hooked two of Ange's three souls.

Soon, Prince Hui left the capital and went to the Western Regions to govern.Ange was also promoted to the Zhili Supervising Soldier in the next year.After Ange arrived in Zhili, he sent a special person to the Western Regions to ask for a marriage with rich gifts, and promised that he had reserved the position of master for Uncle Wen, and repeatedly told the special envoy that Princess Shan could marry later, but Master Wen is about to take office.Such a huge military yamen mansion would not be complete without a master! Wen Liang was in pain when he said this. At the time of returning to the prince, he didn't know what kind of soup and medicine he drank wrongly, not only agreed to the marriage, but soon the prince's mansion sent soldiers to escort the two brothers and sisters to Zhili.On the night when the brothers and sisters arrived in Zhili, the General Military Mansion made a fuss about it and married them in.Princess Nashan is fourteen years old, and Wen Liang is sixteen years old, which is a good time for tenderness and beauty.That night, the master went into Wen Liang's guest room before entering the bridal chamber, called Wen Liang's brothers long and short, and messed around until midnight, then with all his strength, he took off Wen Liang's pants.Wen Liang was screaming in fright, but the boss ignored him. He just took out a long, long meat arrow and aimed it at Wen Liang's eyes, and smashed it in. Wen Liang could not die if he wanted to live.That night, the boss only said that he was dizzy, so he stayed with Wen Liang.In the evening, the master messed around with the princess.From now on, the master will not be able to do without Wen Liang even for a single night.Ange's wife had known about her husband's behavior for a long time, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and let him and Wen Liang mess around.

Wen Liang has been favored ever since. A year later, on the prince's birthday, he sent a post to the general soldier, and the general soldier took the princess and Wen Liang to the Western Regions.Having lived in the Western Regions for more than ten days, I don't know what ecstasy soup the prince poured into his son-in-law.After An Ge returned to Zhili, he began to scoop up money everywhere, and asked his family members to mark the prices of various positions in Zhili, and printed lists for sale.Then they colluded with the barbarians, bought countless guns and cannons, and sent soldiers to the Western Regions to send them back to the palace again and again. The number was always around a thousand guns or a dozen cannons.After returning to the palace, he also gave Ange back some specialties from the Western Regions and snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain.The prince of the county is not aware of these contacts.Princess Shan only knew that Zhili and the Western Regions were moving around frequently, and she thought that Ange was following her father's will.Seeing that the elder brother is favored, the princess of the mountain wants to grab some benefits, so she plays coquettish to An Ge, saying that she wants to build a mosque, and contribute to the reconciliation of Manhui.Ange commissioned the capital to raise some funds, saying that the higher authorities wanted to reflect the reconciliation of the Manchus and build an Islamic mosque in Zhili, so that the Huis would have a place to go.The capital did not dare to neglect, and immediately summoned merchants in Zhili to pledge donations.Li Chungang is a big businessman who has operated in Zhili for several generations. He has a bank and a cloth shop, and his family assets are always more than several million.According to his assets, he should have recognized 100,000 yuan. If he was a little softer, it was possible to get a 20% discount at that time.Who would have thought that Li Chungang, relying on himself as a big family in Zhili and his fame, would deny even a single penny, and even threatened: He said clearly that it was a full reconciliation, but secretly he might come up with some tricks.This annoyed Ange.Didn't you pay a penny, I'll give you even money!

The capital was also dissatisfied with Li Chungang, and for this reason, he also wanted to punish this disobedient person.Unexpectedly, the matter was made a big deal, alarmed the squire, and alarmed the master.However, Li Chungang's several million fortunes actually went to An Ge's name.Don't say that the prefectures and counties are divided into less than one-third, and even the Fuyuan and the governor didn't get a few copper coins. When Wen Liang's confession came here, Zeng Guofan and Chang Shun let go of their hearts. This is how it happened?Dare An Ge really committed the crime?No, this is all a scene directed by Zeng Guofan and Chang Shun with the support of Si Age Yi.

Zeng Guofan and Changshun went to Manyuanchun to have a round of dry tea, and accidentally ran into Changshun's old family friend in Shengjing. Knowing that the official and Master Wen have a close relationship, Zeng Guofan made a plan and decided to use the official to lure Master Wen to the bait.When the discussion was over, Changshun made a date with the official, saying that Wan Ye was going to buy the Dian Shique of Shou County with 50,000 taels of silver.That official loves money the most, as soon as he sees a profit, he immediately decides to go to Na Wan Ye together with the elder to finalize the matter.

After meeting Wan Ye, Wan Ye promised again that after the matter was completed, he would thank Guan Ye an extra ten thousand taels of silver.The official was so happy that he scratched his head and immediately urged Wan and Chang to go to Beijing.After entering Beijing, he first arranged the official into the inn, accompanied by Wan Ye, and Chang went to the palace overnight to find his master, the fourth son Yi, and report to An Ge. Yi was originally a bit of a jerk, and in addition to the recent rumors that the throne may be passed on to the sixth son of the emperor, Yi, he has been restless for several days.At this time, he especially wanted to do an earth-shattering cause, so as to dispel the idea of ​​Emperor Daoguang's succession to Wei Yi, but he was suffering from no chance, and he was very anxious, and Changshun happened to come back.At that moment, after listening to Changshun's report, Yi agreed without thinking about the consequences, agreeing to set up a hut in the institution outside the palace of the clan's mansion to set up a private court to specialize in the trial of Master Wen. If something big happens, Master Wen will be buried in a frying pan, so that no one will be seen in his life and his body will not be seen in his death, making him a strange case through the ages.

Mr. Wen really fell for it, and the guards around Yi invited him into Changshun's mansion to guard him; once Mr. Wen was boiled with oil, he probably wouldn't be able to survive. The private court was designed by Zeng Guofan himself, and various instruments of torture were prepared, including a cauldron.Zeng Guofan had heard from his colleagues a long time ago that anyone who is a husband-in-law is the one who can't help beating, and a man and a woman are even weaker bones, so he prepared two thin iron awls and arranged three executioners to wait for the text As soon as the master arrives, he will stab his ass to pieces... This section is Chang Shun's idea.What Changshun hated the most was his husband. In this world, because of his husband, the social relations of many officials and lords would be gone.

Two iron awls and an oil pan really cured Wen Liang into obedience. Zeng Guofan copied Wen Liang's confession clearly that day, and asked him to draw a pledge, and Changshun presented it.After reading the confession, Yi immediately sent a message to Zeng Guofan, and praised Zeng Guofan, saying that he was a good stratagem.Then, the three of them quietly went to the study at the back of the Imperial Garden, Zeng Guofan and Chang Shun were waiting outside the door, and Yi limped in alone. After a while, Eunuch Cao came out to announce that Zeng Guofan and Changshun came to see him.After the ceremony, Emperor Daoguang asked, "Zeng Guofan, what is your official position now?"

Zeng Guofan replied: "Returning to the emperor, the minister is now a fourth-rank servant lecturer of the Imperial Academy and the palm seal of Youchunfang of Zhan Shifu." Emperor Daoguang said calmly: "You are a fourth-rank official who has been meddling in the affairs of the royal family. If you are an official scholar, why don't you send me to prison too? Come on, take off his top first." Dai, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is under strict supervision! Don't leak any information." After hearing this, Zeng Guofan suddenly felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he fainted in front of Emperor Daoguang's dragon case.At this time, the fourth son Yi also fell to his knees with a plop, crying and said: "Father Huang Mingjian, this matter was all done after my son nodded. Zeng Guofan deserved his merits and is not guilty!"

Chang Shun was lying on the ground at this moment, not daring to breathe out.Only now did he realize that this matter had been done too absurdly. At this time, Emperor Daoguang said with a pale face: "Come here, take off Changshun's top hat, and even the fourth elder brother, I will take him to the House of Internal Affairs and take care of it! Don't leak any news!" Eunuch Cao agreed with a "Hey", and ordered the eunuch on duty to lift and support the three people and get them out. Emperor Daoguang immediately announced the eight princes, ten princes in total, King Hui and King Gu, to visit.This King Gu is the old Taishan of Ange, with a beard that is not old or not, because his seniority is older than Emperor Daoguang, he didn't kneel down when he came in, he just bowed and sat down; the others are fine. After receiving a big gift, Emperor Daoguang also gave him a seat.

Emperor Daoguang sat up straight, asked all the eunuchs to withdraw, coughed, and suddenly said with a sinking face: "The ancestors and ancestors have brought down this country, and I have worked hard to maintain it since I took the throne, lest something unexpected happen. , Where I can’t do it, I’m afraid of damaging the national system and I’m sorry to my ancestors! This Qing Dynasty is not my Qing Dynasty alone, it’s everyone’s Qing Dynasty, and every prince has a share! Is what I said right?” All the lords bowed together and answered: "The emperor taught me that!" Emperor Daoguang suddenly held up Wen Liang's confession and said angrily: "There are people in my family who use the state's salary to search for people's wealth, sell officials and nobles, and buy foreign guns and cannons for the Western Regions. According to the family law of our ancestors, what should we do?" What about the disposal?" The ten princes looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor was talking about.The old King Gu Jun also didn't know what he was referring to, and he was the most horrified. Emperor Daoguang turned to King Gu and asked, "My lord, you are my elder, what do you think?" King Gu Jun thought for a while, and said word by word: "Return to the emperor, according to the family law of our ancestors, such a scum is going to kill the nine clans. How difficult it is for the ancestors to create this foundation!" King Huijun also said: "This is a moth of our Qing Dynasty. It can't be dealt with seriously!" Emperor Daoguang shouted: "Eunuch Cao!" Eunuch Cao came in in response. Emperor Daoguang handed Wen Liang's confession to him and said, "Read it for the princes." Eunuch Cao read it word by word. Eunuch Cao didn't finish reading, but Junwang Gu fell to his knees with a plop, calling it a "death crime", his face was pale and trembling, his forehead was already glistening with a layer of sweat. Eunuch Cao had just finished reading, and the nine princes also knelt down together, saying that Ange was confused and didn't do anything about prince Gu.At this time, King Gu also took a breath and cursed: "This little bastard has done such a heartless thing, even if you use the ancestor's family law to peel off his skin, you will not be able to forgive him!" After everyone vented, Emperor Daoguang said: "I also know that An Ge must have done this behind Gu Junwang's back. However, in the case of Li Chungang's private possession of banned books, I held a joint trial of the three courts, but there was no trial. The truth, even I have been fooled! If there is no old prince to speak, how can we not be able to judge the truth?" Prince Gu kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! You are so confused! You have fooled that bastard Ange!" Emperor Daoguang said to Eunuch Cao: "Eunuch Cao, pass on my words, the west side room of the House of Internal Affairs, install the A few beds, you can help the princes to rest there first, and don’t go back when it’s getting late.” The princes then withdrew and followed Eunuch Cao to the west side room of the House of Internal Affairs.
