Chapter 21 (3) Criticism by the masses

The old Futou fled to Chun'an with two beautiful women, and in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Yongzheng called a group of ministers for a meeting again.At the meeting, Yongzheng said in a speech: Nian Gengyao used the wrong idiom last time, and he has been given appropriate punishment.But recently, he has discovered many new mistakes. Let's discuss, what are these mistakes, and how should they be punished? The court discussed 92 serious crimes, Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death, his son Nianfu was executed, and the whole family was relegated to the barren land. After defeating the Nian Gengyao Group, Yongzheng was full of ambition and pursued the victory:

Pass the decree: expel the eighth elder brother Yinsi's clan, and then change the name of Yinsi to pig, stop the supply of Lumi, only supply pig feed, and eat as much as you want. The decree: expelled the ninth elder brother Yinzhen from his clan, and later Yinzhen changed his name to a dog, stopped the supply of Lumi, and only supplied dog food, plus a few bones. Pass the decree: strangle the eighth elder brother's wife to death, and then use a file to file the woman's body to pieces, then burn it to ashes, and Yongzheng will personally scatter it in the rivers and lakes of the motherland.

deliver an imperial order…… Seeing one reactionary group after another wiped out, Yongzheng was in high spirits and high-spirited.Just as he was about to continue chasing the poor bandits, he suddenly saw one of the officials. Yongzheng was furious and shouted, "Qian Mingshi, get out of here!" The waiter Qian Mingshi responded: Your Majesty, what do you want from me? Yongzheng: Nian Gengyao committed such a serious mistake to the court and the people, everyone with conscience is trying to draw a line with him and fight back.And you, not long ago, openly recited reactionary poems and sang praises for Nian Gengyao in the court hall, is there such a thing?

Qian Mingshi: ...Your Majesty, let's talk about the truth, shall we?The last incident was initiated by His Majesty, and you also recited several poems, Your Majesty... Yongzheng sneered: Qian Mingshi, do you still dare to argue?What I did was to lure the snake out of the hole, a big conspiracy, to expedite the exposure of Nian Gengyao's wolfish ambitions against the imperial court, and to stabilize him.But you are servile and obsequious, willing to be obscene, there is no comparison between the two. Qian Mingshi was dumbfounded: Damn, if there is such a gameplay, then I don't have to chant.

Yongzheng: You stopped chanting, I have a good idea here.You, Qian Mingshi, are just a nerd with no significant achievements and little influence. Let me launch a vigorous criticism campaign for you, so that everyone in the world, regardless of whether they can read or write, can write a poem Come to scold you, the harder you scold, the better, and you will be notorious forever... Dear dear friends, which one of you will come first? This... The officials looked at each other in blank dismay. Yongzheng was in a hurry: Why, don't you all regard yourself as cultural people?Why are you silent now?I tell you, the two poems you wrote are useless, even the eunuchs in my palace can write better than you... Don't you believe it?

I'll let you take a look right away...Yongzheng turned his head and said to the little eunuch standing beside him: Come first, let these cultural people see, what kind of shit they write! Seeing the eunuch cheer up, he tightened his trouser belt, jumped forward, pointed at Qian Mingshi's nose, and chanted loudly: Qian Mingshi, big bad guy, Black heart, black lungs, rotten intestines, Pick up a pen to make a gun, Get you fucked right away. When the poem was completed, Yongzheng yelled a good word: next. The next person to criticize was the great poet Xie Jishi. He imitated the appearance of the eunuch, tightened his belt, stepped forward and pointed at the tip of Qian Mingshi's nose, and chanted loudly:

Qian Mingshi, shameless, conspiracy to usurp power to rebel, The people are all angry, Criticism has been stinking for ten thousand years. Yongzheng nodded: the artistic conception of this poem is good, but we still need to work hard. The next one to criticize was the great poet Zha Siting. He pulled up his trousers, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and chanted in a long voice: Criticism of stinky money famous world, The people are smiling, Today's big criticism, The enthusiasm of the people is really high. Yongzheng said hello, next. The next one was Wu Xiaodeng, who was the attendant, but he kept shaking his head: Your Majesty, I can't play this kind of game, it's too disgusting.

Yongzheng was furious: You are not firm in your stand, you will be demoted to the people, and you will be kicked out of the palace. Wu Xiaodeng was expelled from the palace, the angry Yongzheng looked at the officials: who should be next? It's my turn.Waiter Chen Bangyan came out: But I'd better get out of the palace by myself, this kind of disgusting thing, even kill me. roll roll roll!Yongzheng was furious: Who else wants to go? Attendant Chen Bang walked straight out: Your Majesty, I too... Those who should be fired are gone, but there are still 380 ministers who are reluctant to be famous and rich, and actively participated in this criticism meeting.After the meeting, Yongzheng ordered: Collect the critical manuscripts of this meeting into a collection of essays, titled "Poems of Sinners of Mingjiao", publish it in a volume, and distribute it nationwide. People who can read and write must have a copy... and , Then find a craftsman to make a big plaque with the words "Mingjiao sinner" written on it.

Let me hang this plaque on the door of Qian Mingshi and his family, and you are not allowed to take it off even if you die.
