Chapter 40 The 40th chapter to let go of depression and resentment and revive the literary prison

The case of Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi suddenly came out and shocked Jinghua. A young scholar dared to go straight to the field barracks for thousands of miles in broad daylight to persuade the commander to rebel. This is really a strange thing that has never been seen in ancient times.Rumors that were already well-worn had once again taken advantage of the wind. It was said that Zeng Jing gathered 100,000 troops in Hunan and sent Zhang Xi to Xining to make contact. He said that Yue Zhongqi's memorial was to test the imperial court. If the imperial court still trusted him, he would send Zhang Xi to Beijing. ... All kinds of things spread like a plague in the restaurant, teahouse, Qin Pavilion, and Chu Pavilion. Even the officials of the six ministries changed their laziness habits and arrived at work early every morning. Great movement of troops.

The whole of Beijing opened its eyes wide. But the decree that came out next was unexpected; just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Hongshi took people to the Ministry of Punishment to deliver the decree in person: "Li Fu, Xie Jishi, Cai Ting and others formed a party to attack the gentleman, Li Fu He was dismissed immediately, and he was taken to the Beijing Ministry of Communications for questioning. Chen Xuehai, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, was involved in the crime of slandering and trapping the Minister of State Tian Wenjing. , Convicted according to the law. Hereby!"

After the decree was announced, the hall of the Ministry of Justice was deathly silent.Li Futian Wenjing has been criticizing each other for a long time, and it is still expected to make a conclusion now.Chen Xuehai's tongue is not strict, he was born with a stinking mouth, and rumors of some jokes about Tian Wenjing's appointment, he is actually "not to be told"?There is also a strange accusation against Cai Ting. Cai Ting was a veteran general who had made great achievements when Kangxi pacified the San Francisco. He guarded the southwest for more than forty years. As a political envoy, he was closer to Li Fuguo, and sometimes he sang poems and prose for reward.Then Xie Jishi is notoriously stupid, and he only nodded to Li Fu for friendship, how could he get involved?So everyone froze together, looked at each other without speaking.After a long time, Ke Yingcai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, led the kowtow and said, "Your minister receives the decree!"

"My lords, get up too." Hong Shi changed his smiling face, "I'm a night owl and came into the house, and I didn't bring any good things." Seeing that Chen Xuehai was kneeling still, he walked over and said with a smile: "Chen Xuehai, do you know sin?" Chen Xuehai glanced at Hongshi, and kowtowed heavily: "I am guilty!" He straightened up, and slapped himself like a mosquito, "Your mouth stinks!" He laughed amusedly, then lost his temper, and asked: "You have a bad mouth, have you ever said something about Tian Wenjing, who did you tell it to?" Chen Xuehai said: "My servant said that Tian Wenjing is a top-notch good person. But he It's really inexplicable that my mother can't get along with good people. In fact, the officials who went to Henan were also some great capable people in the provinces where they were originally appointed. But when they went to Henan, they all became useless. Tian Wenjing believed that he had been close to a Zhang Qiu in Henan. Zhang Qiu is an ink official, so this is too disrespectful to Mr. Tian! Don’t laugh, my lord, I just can’t understand what I’m saying—he doesn’t even bring his family members with him. Being a governor or a governor, there is no One of his relatives got rich after him, he only did things and didn't get rich, just like Li Wei. No matter who you say, he is not a fool. But he is a good person, and he can't get along with all the good people. Isn't that strange? I I see everyone saying that, and I say it wherever I go. Isn’t my mouth really smelly?”

Hongshi couldn't help laughing secretly while listening, but he was asked by order, so he had to put on a posture, because he asked again: "Have you talked to Xie Jishi?" "Yes!" Chen Xuehai replied without hesitation , "I just tell people when I see it. There is nothing I don't know in this book. It is in your mansion of the third master, Prince Bao's mansion, and the mansion of the fifth master. I have also said it. Even if the decree is asked here, the servant dares to hide it Is it?" Hong Shi thought for a while, and then asked: "Xie Jishi relayed your words to the emperor and wrote a memorial, did you discuss it with you beforehand?"

"No." Chen Xuehai felt more and more relaxed, and put on a pitiful face, "You are so good! Xie Jishi is from Zhejiang Province, and I am Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. We are thousands of miles away. We have not passed the letter. Even rabbits don't have such long ears!" "He came to Beijing recently, haven't we met?" "Third Master, I don't know he's coming to Beijing. The whole ministry has been busy these days, staring and ears waiting for news from Hunan." He was really very talkative, "If Zeng Jing is interrogated in Yongxing County, it will be a conspiracy People, I have to take one of the recruits, and I am afraid that they are ignorant, and they will use good people to confess and ask for credit, and I am afraid that they will be afraid, and they will be accomplices when they leave. We are all anxiously waiting for their letter. Third Master , I'm so busy that I don't even have time to go home, how can I find time to talk to this bastard Xie Jishi? Besides..."

"Okay, okay!" Hong Shi was angry and funny, waving his hands and said, "Isn't it because we haven't met?" Remembering that there was also a dismissal in the decree, Yin said again: "Come on, remove Chen Xuehai's top hat!" Chen Xuehai stopped the officials who came forward, took off the big hat by himself, and while turning the button to take the red tassel, he said with a smile: "This hat was not earned with money, and it has not been spent. Today's world It’s really interesting, like a field made platform, a red top that you spend money to buy and donate, and you wear it securely after all—it’s like buying something. It’s the real deal!” He handed over the top, kowtowed to thank him, and was about to leave when he saw Hong , Chased a few steps and asked with a smile: "Third Master, you still owe me a return to the host - when will you return? - You go!"

Hongshi took the sedan chair back to Changchun Garden, and couldn't hold back his laughter.As soon as he got off the sedan chair at the double gate, he saw the little eunuch Li Laisu coming up to him and said, "I have been waiting for a while. Long live is waiting to summon you at Tanningju, please come over here." Hong Shi nodded and quickened his pace. . After entering Danningju, Hongshi immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right. Yongzheng was not in Dongnuange, and was sitting on the Xumi seat in the main hall. Zhu Shi, Fang Bao, Zhang Tingyu, Ertai, Yunzhi, Yunlu, Yunli and Hongli They all stand sideways.A sixth-rank official wearing a heron men's suit, with the top of the giant clam placed on the ground, is making a strong speech:

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's affair with the prince is a lesson from the emperors through the ages. Not only the elder brother, but even the prince should not interfere in foreign affairs. The princes are full of youthful virtues, self-cultivation and self-cultivation. After a long life and a long time, it is the most fair reason to expect them to assist in governance! " Hongshi couldn't help being startled, saluted Yongzheng without saying a word, stood next to Hongli, and asked quietly, "Who is this?" "The head of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Shengnan." It's been a while." When Hongshi looked at it, he saw that Yongzheng's face was ashen, staring at Lu Shengnan, and said: "You are unforgivable for saying this! It is the order of the ancestors not to establish a prince. Today I am the Lord of the world. , and don’t set up a crown prince, what’s the restlessness in the world now? Are you saying that the ancestors shouldn’t abolish the crown prince, or that I shouldn’t set up a crown prince?”

"The holy ancestor didn't establish a prince, so the emperor's brother's flesh and blood changed!" Lu Shengnan raised his head and looked Yongzheng squarely in his eyes, "It's not easy to deal with the aftermath with the emperor's heavenly glory; the future generations, the emperor can make them all like you? Only then did Hongshi see clearly that Lu Shengnan was a young man in his thirties, with well-proportioned facial features, only his brows were upside down, his cross-eyed eyes seemed to be always staring up and down, his neck was a little crooked, and he always looked like a boy. The look of arrogance.Not to mention talking to the emperor, even with this demeanor, it is amazing to be able to get the head of the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.Looking at Yongzheng again, he was indeed so angry that the veins on his forehead swelled up, and his tone became abnormally cold: "You don't even look down on the holy ancestor, you are still a personal minister! I and the left and right ministers have followed the holy ancestor for decades, but unexpectedly I don’t know that the Holy Ancestor has something about ‘difficult to deal with aftermath’! Since you are so talented, you should ask for advice!” Lu Shengnan listened attentively, and the natural arrogance on his face became more and more contemptible, and he straightened up when he touched his head Body, said: "It is a pity that the holy ancestor did not establish a crown prince in his later years. The reason why Aqina Seth Hei dared to covet the throne and ended up in prison was because there was no crown prince. If the former emperor had set the crown prince early, the monarchs and ministers believed it, brothers Xiang'an, how can there be a disaster of the wall? Where are the gossip and rumors flooding the government and the public?"

Yongzheng leaned forward and said with a sneer: "So you are calling the sky for Aqina! Oh, I remembered it. At the time when Aqina was arguing with the eight kings to discuss politics, there were dozens of Beijing officials. Go up to play, follow the echoes, make a joint name, is it you?" Lu Shengnan seemed to have put life and death aside, and said in a loud voice: "Yes! The emperor issued an edict to speak out, is it just for show? Such a big world, with feudalism Divide and rule the brothers, and the emperor hangs nine layers to rule the world. Wouldn't it be better to get up early at five o'clock at night and work with the lanterns'xiaoji' like now? Since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been no Guozuo for more than five hundred years, because Qin Shihuang was greedy for him, Exercising the system of prefectures and counties. The more powerful the person is, the more serious the disaster is, because he can reward and punish at will, life and death. Although people are angry, they dare not speak out, although they want revenge, they dare not act. The accumulation is deep, and its hair must be Poison, shouldn't we be vigilant?" After saying that, there was a sound of knocking on the ground. At this time, all the people in the hall were ashen-colored.It was Zhang Tingyu's suggestion to summon Lu Shengnan. It was originally to discuss Yue Zhongqi's plan to build 6,000 chariots.Unexpectedly, Lu Shengnan began to talk about Yue Zhongqi's gossip among the people, asking Yongzheng to "put an end to the rumors first, and use troops without doubt", which upset the emperor, withdrew the Dongnuange meeting, and was promoted to the throne for a regular audience.It would be fine if Lu Shengnan kowtowed to admit his mistake, but he was stubborn and arrogant until his death, and then used rumors to implicate Yunxi and others in their deaths. the point.Hongli saw that he had a bad temper and a naturally unlovable appearance, and he had no room to interject when he wanted to talk, so he sighed in his heart: this man is done!At this time, even Zhang Tingyu and Fang Bao looked at each other helplessly. "What a good poem!" Yongzheng's eyes flickered, with a mean smile on his face, "Since Qin Shihuang, there are more than two hundred emperors, and you don't look down on any of them! The holy ancestor is not in your eyes, let alone an ordinary emperor like me. You have such a great talent that is unprecedented in the world, you are a strange person from the same hometown as Xie Jishi, and you are reused by Li Fu! In the past, there was an "eighth master" who created a big "party" and harmed the king and the country; now it is another one Li Fu, connected with a fellow soldier, joined Huang Zhenguo and Xie Jishi, and became a small 'party' again. You can't see the 'clique theory' that I thoroughly ruled, and you don't care if you don't read it. Even the saint's The Four Books and the Five Classics, you are also "Mu Ru". Don't you just read Zhu Zi's aphorisms and commentaries, and copy a few high-level sermons? Just pretend to be Zhuge Liang, and regard Zhen Gong as a fool? ——You I seem to have forgotten. I am the elder brother of the emperor for forty-five years. I am not a rich brother who receives the salary and cares for the husband and wife! I am in the water and in the fire. You are an iron man and a tough guy who came out of the folks! When I inspected the river worker in the yellow water, you were still wearing crotch pants! You have no loyalty to the emperor, so how can I love the minister?—Come on!" "exist!" "Take off his official uniform," Yongzheng said with a ferocious smile to the guards who rushed in, "send him to the Beekeeping Prison Temple, and imprison him with Xie Jishi and Huang Zhenguo until Li Fu and Wu Ting are escorted to Beijing. After the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment is indeed interrogated, he will have the crime he deserves!" Lu Shengnan didn't wait for anyone to fight him, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Long live, I am willing to die without saying anything!" Yongzheng waved his hand disdainfully, saying: "The hall of the Ministry of Punishment Go up and talk!" The guards didn't want to say anything, they jumped up and picked up Lu Shengnan and walked out without touching the ground. Lu Shengnan jumped up and said, "Death is death, such an insult to gentleness!" He was yelling, "Kill the hero's head, peel the hero's skin, speed through the ages..." The yelling made everyone in the hall turn pale. "Crazy life!" Yongzheng's blue veins throbbed on his forehead, he picked up a cup to drink, the tea was already cold, and smashed the cup into pieces with a "huolang", he said with a vicious smile: "Sometimes knives are more effective than Sishu—— For a bastard like Lu Shengnan, the Ministry of Officials still has a 'clean talent' - the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Assistant Minister, and the head of the Kaogong Division will each be fined for one year and recorded once!" Saying this, he stepped down from the throne and headed east Nuange walked and asked, "Hongshi, has the Ministry of Punishment delivered the decree?" Hong Shibian followed in, and played the decree one by one. Thanks to his good memory, he repeated Chen Xuehai's words without leaking.Yongzheng was so angry that he said with a smile: "The world is big, and there are all kinds of people. Fan Shijie was the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, and he took my people from Yongwang Mansion. At that time, I was still the emperor who was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry. Tell him to let him go, but he insists on interrogation. The old thirteen twisted his ears and scolded him, then let him go with a smile." Seeing that Yongzheng's anger had subsided, Hongli apologized and said, "Huang Ama said The truth is. A gentleman and a villain can only be properly assigned by the master, and each gets what he wants. Just like Lu Shengnan, in terms of crimes of love, he is really too punishable, but he is just a fool, master, don’t be angry with him." "You don't know." Yongzheng sighed, "There is also Yang Mingshi, who talked here for an hour yesterday. Of course he is not like Lu Shengnan. Lu Shengnan is not only an arrogant person, but he has other plans behind him, so it is different. I don't treat each other equally. Like Yang Mingshi, Aqina's political views are almost the same as his, but Yang Mingshi is completely loyal and wants to help me fix things according to his method. What he said is private. Discuss with me freely, and I like to distinguish between good and bad people. I talked to Yang Mingshi, and he is knowledgeable and good-natured, but he also does practical things and does not talk empty words. Nothing went wrong, and Ku Yin also increased, which shows that I have a good system. He said that he has figured it out. I said, now that I have figured it out, I will go back to be your governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. A gentleman does not form a party, and a party is not a gentleman Sun Jiagan was a gentleman when Yang was named, and Li Fu was the same person as Yang and Sun, but I never imagined that his behavior would be so nasty behind the scenes!" He spoke at length, and only then did everyone understand that Yongzheng actually treated this group of people as Yunsi's remnant party in his heart, and they couldn't help but feel that it was too much for Yongzheng to report all the grievances.But Yongzheng is in a fit of anger at the moment, and he speaks plausibly, who is willing to touch his bad luck at this moment?Zhang Tingyu considered that the Military Aircraft Department still had a lot of official duties, so he couldn't delay Li Fu's case any longer, because he said: "Li Fu thanked Jishi and they are already caged birds. Discipline can be discussed after the ministry's discussion. Now two cases Major events should not be taken lightly. Yue Zhongqi gathered 100,000 troops in Xining, Gansu and Shanxi were heavily snowed, and the grain and grass were all transported up from Sichuan. It took seventeen catties to transport one catty of grain. It’s clean——Yu Hongtu is still able to do things, but this time, he has to quickly allocate spring famine grain and planting grain to Sichuan. Lu Shengnan is in charge of building chariots for Yue Zhongqi. If he breaks down, the chariots have to be built The servants can take care of these things. But Zeng Jing's case is extremely important, and he must be escorted to Beijing for trial. In the trial in Hunan, there were too many rumors in the capital, and the six departments had no intention of handling errands. If you go to the servants to inquire about the news, can you ask the emperor to issue an edict to bring them here within a time limit, and once you report to the mansion, you will feel at ease." "Very good." When it came to government affairs, Yongzheng forgot about his troubles. Yesterday he received the memorial from Zeng Jing of the first trial in Hunan. Today, he summoned these courtiers to discuss this matter, but Lu Shengnan interrupted him.He pondered for a moment, and said: "According to Tingyu's opinion, the Beijing newspaper was published immediately, and the case of Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi has been solved. But this case cannot be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, nor can it be handed over to Dali Temple. That's it." "Zeng Zhang's case should be dealt with by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs." Hongli said, "It is inconvenient to place the trial in Hunan. If the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is short-handed, it can temporarily transfer people from other departments." Yongzheng said: "Hunan is only the first trial. This is because I am afraid that there are too many criminals who will escape. Now that it has been found out that there are only two people, of course I have to transfer to Beijing. But this time I will try it myself, and it will be dispatched by the Military Aircraft Department. I will not submit it to the Ministry. After the trial is over, I will hand over the case to the Ministry Department, promulgate the world." When everyone heard this, they all felt a little unbelievable.Historically, emperors have personally intervened in criminal cases, and they have only seen them on theatre. It was the ordinary barbarian officials and unofficial history novelists who were full, and created a "novelty" to attract readers.Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongzheng, who didn't like to go to theater the most, would actually sit in the courtroom to try the case in person, and the culprits were two insignificant ordinary people!The more Hongli thought about it, the more inappropriate he became, but he was a very prudent person, and he wanted to hear Yongzheng's true meaning before speaking.Yun Lu found it new, and said with a smile: "This is a strange case through the ages, and the emperor's personal trial would be the best. The younger brother must also witness the emperor sitting in court. Zeng Jing said that reading Lu Liuliang's "Spring and Autumn Days" gave birth to a rebellious heart. My younger brother suggested that Lu Liuliang should also ask questions. "Spring and Autumn Dayi", "Zhijilu", and "Zhixinlu" should be banned immediately and destroyed." "If you want to say it now, wouldn't it be too late?" Yongzheng said with a smile, "Lu Liuliang's family has long been detained, and the original version of the book has been found. This Lu Liuliang is buried very deep. He is a former Ming dynasty. He is said to be loyal to the former dynasty. , but he did not follow the martyrdom, but came to test my court scholar. Since he has lost his morality, he should linger on his last breath and bathe in my pilgrimage, but he was restless, and he wrote a book against our court to slander our dynasty, and he also created a group of wicked literati. This His follower, Zeng Jing, encouraged Yue Zhongqi to rebel. You haven’t seen it. The urgent report just arrived, Yan Hongkui was also his student in Shandong, and he insulted me in his diary. I thought Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi were just Foolishness and ignorance are deceived by others. The real culprits are Lu Liuliang, the "Master of the East China Sea" in Zhejiang, and Yan Hongkui, who is also Lu Liuliang's favorite student. The diary says that the Hailaer earthquake destroyed four thousand Manchurians. The scene was "spectacular" and the Rehe flooded. , drowned more than 20,000 Manchurians, and wrote a poem, "Floods also know how to understand people's will, and the sky doesn't know how to know it!"—a heartfelt schadenfreude! It's a poisonous word. I don't know what Manchurians owe me. , such a vicious lord's heart!" Yongzheng looked at the secret records of the flying performances in Hunan, Qinghai, Zhejiang and Shandong, and the more he looked at them, the more angry he was, and he hit the case with a "snap": "The madness is so extreme! Zeng Jing is Lu Liuliang. Instigation is still to be forgiven. Lu Liuliang, Yan Hongkui, who was fond of chaos and misfortune to deceive people, even though he is dead, his crime is unforgivable—the governor of Zhejiang immediately detains the entire Lu family and waits for his will to deal with it!" Because these memorials were sent in by express, no one else had seen them except Yongzheng.Ertai, Fang Bao, and Zhang Tingyu felt that Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi were the principal offenders after all, and they were all dismissed by Yongzheng now. They even had a faint intention of defending them, but they turned their guns on the dead Lu Liuliang and Yan Hongkui. Puzzled.Zhu Shi heard the name "Yan Hongkui" so familiar, and only then remembered that he had recommended Yan Hongkui to enter the National History Museum to compile "History of Ming Dynasty" during the Kangxi period. He immediately panicked and moved his lips to speak. Hongli said: "Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi are the main culprits of the rebellion. According to the law, they should be executed Ling Chi. My son has not read the memorial, but after hearing Ama's instruction, it seems that Lu and Yan should be dealt with separately. This will make it clearer." Hong Shi also hurriedly said: "My son thinks what the fourth child said is true." Yun Zhi and Yun Lu immediately disapproved of Yongzheng's right-handed words about Zeng Jing.Yunlu is a person who has everything he can do, he just keeps silent.Yun Zhi smiled and said: "Zeng Jing and Zhang Xitong conspired together to induce the ministers of the country to rebel and cause chaos. The officials thought it was unforgivable. As for Lu Liuliang and Yan Hongkui, they have been dead for many years. They are relics of the previous Ming Dynasty. It’s not surprising what the dynasty said, just collect and destroy their books.” "Third brother, you don't see it." Yongzheng has been disliking Yunzhi more and more recently, thinking that his third brother is full of talents and learning, and he can spend more time on state affairs when he and Yunxiang and others are in poor health, but he is still high-spirited. Lying Yan was playing leisurely, and there was a lot of jokes, so he blocked him with one mouthful: "You have read enough, how many times did Shaozhengmao instigate people to rebel against Lu? Confucius was prime minister, and he was killed in seven days." He has committed five crimes. His heart is dangerous, his behavior is firm, his words are false, his words are false, his words are false, his words are good, and his faults are smooth. Confucius said that as long as he commits one of these five crimes, he will not be exempted from the punishment of a gentleman. '. Lv Liuliang's crime is greater than that of Shao Zhengmao, and some of his disciples wrote books to confuse people's hearts, and some conspired to rebel and cause chaos. How could they destroy the edition and ban books and do things hastily? Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi deserved the crime , but they are bewitched by others without knowing it, and they committed such a heinous crime, and the fools and grassroots are not without mercy." He turned his head and asked Zhu Shi: "Master Zhu, what do you say? I just saw you As if there was something to say." Zhu Shi calmed down with a cough, and said: "If the law is followed, Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi should be cut every inch. This matter has been known all over the world, and I think it should be made clear and public. As for extrajudicial favors, yes The people are the sovereign. But in any case, they have committed ten heinous crimes, and they should not be saved from death by being "bewitched". I strongly agree with the emperor to pursue the crime of Lu Liuliang. His crime is indeed higher than that of Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi. If you create heresy If you are so frivolous, some people will learn from Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi, and there will be another Zhang San Li Si to confuse and rebel, and there will be some private writings by people like Lu Liuliang, which will destroy the chaos of the world. What I just wanted to say is not for This is because I recalled that I once recommended Yan Hongkui to compile "History of the Ming Dynasty". Please forgive me, the emperor!" Then he knelt down.Yongzheng hurriedly said: "Hongli helped Master Zhu up—how ​​many years has it been. If you don't tell anyone, you won't know. It can be seen that your heart is bright. Not only do I not offend you, but I also want to let the left and right officials and nephews learn from you. What about you——you are very fair in discussing Lu Liuliang's crimes. You are old-fashioned and seeking for the country. This is the heart of a gentleman!——I don't advocate severe punishment of Zeng Jing. In addition to what I just said, there is one more thing, Zhang Xi was arrested. At the beginning of the arrest, the torture was exhausted and he refused to confess. Yue Zhongqi made a false confession and married Zhang Xiyi to Jinlan, saying that the Tianmeng vowed not to bear each other. I killed the useless Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi, and made Yue Zhongqi go to war in the name of justice. See what kind of master I am?" What he said is even more child's play, Yue Zhongqi's confession is a lie, and the emperor will be responsible for his lie!Several people were annoyed and funny when they heard it, they didn't expect Yongzheng to be so roundabout when he believed in Jianghu!But if he speaks now, he will immediately draw Yue Zhongqi into him.He was out with troops and horses, so it was inappropriate to say taboo words to spoil Yongzheng's happiness, so everyone stood silent and turned a deaf ear. "Let's take a look at Zeng Jing's letter to Yue Zhongqi." Yongzheng handed several copies of the transcribed letter to Hongshi to distribute to everyone, "I have been listed as a total of ten crimes. Rumors that have been heard in the capital's government and the public, this is a culmination book." Zhang Tingyu took it and looked at it, his eyes slipped and he was startled.There are ten crimes in total: murdering father, forcing mother, murdering brother, butchering younger brother, greedy for money, fond of murder, drunkenness, lewdness, punishing loyalty, and being a sycophant.He trembled in his heart, why did Yongzheng still want to forgive such vicious slander?Want to show that you are a benevolent and generous king?As soon as this idea flashed, Zhang Tingyu immediately denied it—Yongzheng himself said that he was "mean".Thinking about it, a thought suddenly flashed across: the emperor wanted to show his "righteousness, and nothing can be done to the world", and also wanted to take the opportunity to express his hatred for those baseless rumors, and interrogated Zeng Jing to refute it vividly. Chinese.After all, Zhang Tingyu was extremely astute, and he had figured out the emperor's mind. He had an idea at that time, but he waited silently for everyone to speak. "This, this - can such a person be forgiven?" Hongshi paled and said with a slight stutter: "My son is ignorant, I really can't understand." The difference between him and Yunhu lies in this, he does not agree to deny Yongzheng The legitimacy of Jitong——Yongzheng "usurped the throne", and the confrontation between him and Hongli was meaningless—while talking, Hongli was also flushed when he peeked at Hongli, holding the letter and gritted his teeth just in a daze. Yongzheng knew that it would be difficult for everyone to agree with him, so he thought for a long time, and said with a smile: "If you only judge the crime on the facts, Zeng Jing and the two of you can't make up for it. To be honest, when I first saw this letter, I was surprised and shed tears. When I slept, I never dreamed that people in the world would talk about me like this. But my nature, "not to be surprised when a sudden death comes, and not to be angry when there is no reason", I can do it. Not to mention my diligence and love for the people. , Emperors of a hundred generations are not as good as me. Even if I am an ordinary emperor, I will definitely not accept this. Therefore, I don’t regard this letter as slander. I can only see him as a pig barking! For example, you, listen When pigs and dogs howl, are you willing to get angry with them, is it worth worrying about them?" He calmly got off the kang, walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said, "So, it must be a strange thing that fell from the sky. Meeting such a monster It's not easy, I have to have some amazing cooking, you just have to wait and see." "Long live," Zhang Tingyu said with a bow, "Even if it is a mad dog, if it barks and bites the master, it will still be killed. As far as what is said in the letter, the slave still thinks that it is best to have a secret interrogation. So it is indeed better to call the study office for Wan live." It's time for the Ministry to go to the Ministry for trial. Although the so-called ten crimes of treason are all 'barking', they are definitely not something that Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi can face the wall and fabricate. Just follow the vine and trace the source of the rumor in the previous paragraph." Zhang Tingyu figured it out Although he understood Yongzheng's intentions, he still could not agree with Yongzheng's method.Because these ten crimes are not only unacceptable to Yongzheng, but Hongli and Hongshi brothers also hold a deep hatred. When Kangxi and Yongzheng took the throne, he himself was the prime minister and could not bear the responsibility.No matter from which point of view, it is an appropriate policy to say that it is a serious matter, because after a pause, "after the trial, the slave thinks that the judicial office should punish the crime according to law, and serve as an example for future generations." He felt that he had done his best to "speak first". Responsibility, he put it away and retreated silently. Yongzheng still had a lot of memorials to approve, and at this time he was tired again, because he smiled and said: "You are ministers, of course you should have this idea. Let's talk about it when you come to Beijing. You can discuss it when you see me at any time. Don't worry about it." It's time-consuming to Zhang these two pieces of stinky meat. Li Fu's case should be tried quickly and given a heavy sentence! This Lu Shengnan is arrogant and rude and has the crime of deceiving the king, which is especially unforgivable. That's it, let's break up! Old Ten San was sick again, so I asked Yunli to see it, but I don't know what's going on right now. Alas, there are a lot of bad things going on around." "yes!" Everyone knelt down and resigned.Hongshi saw Yunli approaching from Yunsong Pavilion at a glance, and hurriedly stood still and waited. When he came to him, Hongshi apologized and said with a smile: "Master Seventeen, you came from Qingfan Temple? How is Uncle Thirteen doing now? Wansui was just talking about it?" Yunli didn't stop, and said: "Jia Shifang is in Yunsongxuan, I'm going to see you, can you talk about it?" After saying that, he went.Hongshi hesitated for a moment, then dragged his steps back to Yunsong Pavilion, where he saw Jia Shifang in a black satin gown, a melon cap on his head, a black belt around his waist, and a pair of dragon mille-soled boots, standing at his desk. Look at the mansion newspaper.He quickened his pace, and smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Old Jia, you have a strong nose, you look like a ball of black charcoal in this body, and you look like an impermanent with this white face without blood. I just saw Master Sixteen. He doesn't like it, is Uncle Thirteen in poor health?" "The thirteenth master's time has come." Jia Shifang looked gloomy, and said coldly, "I'm just hanging on to him, but the third master said the word 'impermanence' well. It's the royal family, the son of the king and grandson, with a great fortune, After all, there is a time to run out. The more you cherish your virtue and cherish your life, the more you dare not act recklessly, God is willing to give him the whole life. Are you right, third master?" Hong Shi sat on the chair with a smile, playing with a jade paperweight , said: "In the later Tang Dynasty, the emperor sought longevity. How many Taoist priests with supernatural powers were raised in the palace? I just don't believe you!" Jia Shifang laughed and said, "I have no choice but to do this. I also know that the end is not good, so I just have to let it go. I advise the third master, you must be careful, don't play smart, the throne does not have you. If you play smart, you have nothing left." Hongshi jumped up like a scalded ass, looked at Jia Shifang for a long time, and said with a chuckle: "Taoist, I also advise you to be quiet. Mischief and tricks are nothing but the tricks of wizards and gods, and they can't be put on the elegant hall Don't think that you are useful in front of the emperor, and you forget that your identity is fundamental, and disasters will never follow!" "I am a small person, and I am insignificant at first." Jia Shifang said, "In the past, I used to be strong and aggressive. I offended my master and my family. A man with rare abilities and high strength. I lost the wooden sword in my hand, and now I can’t go back to the rivers and lakes. It’s more than enough to deal with trivial things here. Third master, the fate of the king is tied to the sky, not to ghosts. Lord Thirteen is doomed, and I can't save him. Put away the nightmare paperweight under your altar, it will only harm you, really, there is no harm in listening to my good words!" "You mean that I harmed the emperor and Lord Thirteen?!" "Yes, and Fourth Master Hongli!" "What about the evidence?" "In your heart!" Jia Shifang sneered, "There is a holy spirit three feet above your head, and your eyes are like lightning in the dark room! Do you dare to swear to the sky that there are no such sneaky things?" Hongshi stared at Jia Shifang like a zombie whose blood had been drained.Before he could speak, Gao Wuyong came in after coughing outside, bowed to Hongshi, and said to Jia Shifang: "The emperor asked Mr. to come and talk." "yes." Jia Shifang pulled away and left, Gao Wuyong followed and asked in a low voice, "Why does the third master look so ugly? Is he sick?" "It's going to snow." Jia Shifang looked up at the crimson clouds in the sky, and answered irrelevantly.
