The summer was hot and the temper was high. In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Guangwu angrily scolded Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, not at them, but at their relative: Prince Horqin's eldest son Bier Tahar.
The Jin Yiwei secretly reported that Nabil Tahar was second-rate in fighting but first-rate in grabbing spoils. After capturing the city of Mangazea, he robbed 70% of the Tsarist treasury in the city, leaving only 30% to hand over. It is really abominable!
The generals are away, and the emperor's orders are not accepted. Although the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulate that all war seizures must be returned to the public, most of the generals turned a deaf ear and always like to keep part of the spoils of war for their own pockets. Once the cannon is fired, there are ten thousand taels of gold. But No matter how greedy others are, they have a certain limit. Generally, they will withhold 20% or 30%, and no matter how much, they will withhold half. This Bier Tahar is too bold. He dares to withhold 70% and only leaves 30% for me. Really, I don’t want to take the emperor’s money back. Take the national law seriously!
He thought that I didn't know about this. Huh! What I am most worried about is the army. Even if it is my son who leads the army, I will not be able to sleep if I don't send more spies! Therefore, nothing can be hidden from my eyes.
Humph! Bier Tahar, Bier Tahar, the reason why you are so bold is because you are the brother of Concubine Xian and the uncle of Concubine Ning. How can this be unreasonable? You think that I am one of those mediocre masters. , you can’t find where to go after getting on the concubine’s couch?
Emperor Guangwu's wise concubine Erdenibemba was Biertahar's biological sister, and Ningfei Alatanqiqige was Biertahar's cousin. Both of them had served as emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. Queen. When Emperor Guangwu accepted them as concubines, firstly, he wanted to win over the Horqin, the largest tribe in Monan Mongolia; secondly, he was far away in Beijing at the time and lacked red sleeves around him, so he was inevitably lonely; thirdly, it was the winner's desire to conquer. These two were both empresses of the Qing Dynasty, but now they have entered my harem, and I feel proud when I think about it! At first, they were just for fun, but as time went by, they inevitably fell in love. Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning were gradually favored, and the country Uncle Bier Tahar also became increasingly arrogant and domineering.
The great emperor of the generation was determined not to get used to his bad habits, and issued an edict to reprimand him: "Since you went out on an expedition, you have lost more than you win, and now you have confiscated the captured goods to enrich yourself. How have I ever been short of money for your salary? If you are short of money, you can do it yourself. How dare you violate the military law when you sue me? Your father Wu Keshan is a cautious person, but it is a pity that you have given birth to such a worthless thing. In the future, a hundred years from now, who will be the successor? I will give it back to you and take twenty military sticks."
Bier Tahar was so distraught after receiving the imperial edict that he could just return the corruption seized, and he could bear twenty spankings with military sticks. But according to the emperor's wishes, he would probably get rid of himself, Prince Horqin's son, and replace him with someone else. I came here to take the job. My father, Wu Keshan, gave me a bunch of brothers, all of whom are jealous of their position. What should I do?
After being beaten with twenty army sticks, Uncle Guo ignored the burning pain on his buttocks and sent people to gallop to Nanjing with their horses and whips whipped up, begging the two ladies in the palace to intercede for him.
Emperor Guangwu was reviewing memorials in the Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning came hand in hand. When he saw them, Zhu Hengjia was furious, patted the imperial case and shouted: "Just look at it, brother Runa, what have you done since then?" What good things have you done?" After saying that, he threw the seal of Jin Yiwei at the feet of the second concubine.
Concubine Ning Alatanqiqi has a meek temperament, or a little weak. Back then, Emperor Shunzhi doted on the Dong E family. Even if he did not come to her bed, she did not dare to make a fuss and endured it silently. Today, seeing the old emperor fall out with him whenever he wants, it is no longer the same as in the past.
I can't help but be sad and cry because of my kindness.
The virtuous concubine Erdeni Bemba was thoughtful. As a former deposed queen, she had experienced the cruelty of palace struggles. To her, tears were nothing more than weapons. Seeing Concubine Ning crying so hard that she felt like she was crying.
She burst into tears like pear blossoms. While crying, she picked up the secret fold that the emperor had thrown down and looked through it.
Zhu Hengjia is actually quite kind-hearted. As long as his throne is not threatened, he is like the Santa Claus in Western mythology, full of warmth and kindness, illuminating the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
When he saw the two women he had slept with for so many years crying so sadly, the old emperor regretted a little. He changed his tone and said: "Well, I'm not actually angry with the two beloved concubines. It's mainly because of Na Bi.
Ertahar is so disappointing!"
Seeing Zhu Hengjia's tone softening, Concubine Xian said with sobs: "I'm not crying because my brother has violated military regulations. It's actually because I received news a few days ago that my father's body is not well. I'm worried that I'll lose you."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me".
"What! Is the father-in-law feeling ill?"
Zhu Hengjia was shocked. Wu Keshan was almost ten years younger than him, so why was his body not as good as his own? He quickly slowed down and said, "I will immediately send someone to give him a thousand-year-old ginseng tree."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." The two empresses quickly thanked them.
Seeing that the old emperor's anger had subsided, Concubine Xian wiped her tears and reported: "Your Majesty, half of my father's illness is caused by worry about his brother who is away on the expedition. My brother is my father's favorite son, so he is naturally worried."
/p>
"What? Then Bier Tahar is both cowardly and greedy, so why does your father prefer him alone?"
"Your Majesty does not know that although my brother has many shortcomings, he is extremely filial to his father. Once my father was ill, my brother did not eat or drink for several days, and knelt in front of the Buddha statue to pray for his father; another time, my brother hunted a
There was only a white fox. My sister-in-law wanted the fox skin to make a coat, but my brother said there was no reason to give it to his wife first instead of his father. He dedicated the fox skin to his father.
"Oh, so to speak, your brother is really a filial son!"
"Your Majesty, brother, not all of these seizures are for himself, but some of them are to compensate the dead and wounded soldiers and their families." Concubine Xian's delicate voice contained complaints.
Zhu Hengjia blushed. He recruited native soldiers from various tribes to join the war. He claimed to pay the native soldiers, but in fact they were only paid according to the standards of the guards. The salary was far lower than that of regular Ming army soldiers. The pensions for the disabled and those killed in battle were also much lower.
Yu Zhanbing. Therefore, when some tribal soldiers intercepted and seized some items before, he regarded them as invisible. This time, if Bier Tahar had not been too bold and intercepted too many items, he would not have taken action.<
/p>
Emperor Guangwu stroked his chin and began to think deeply. The seventy-year-old man was most worried about his sons being unfilial to him and trying to seize the throne. Bier Tahar was so filial, shouldn't he be a role model for his three sons?
Besides, the Horqin tribe is the largest in Monan Mongolia and has strong strength. If the future Prince Horqin is a man of great talent and strategy, I won’t trust him. But someone like Bier Tahar, who is both cowardly and greedy, will use it steadfastly.
It seems that we cannot deprive him of his position as prince and son, but we must demonstrate his filial piety.
Then, a dramatic scene appeared. The old emperor had just issued an order to reprimand Bi'er Tahar, slapped him twenty times, and then issued an order to commend him: "I heard that although you embezzled and captured, the income you received was to compensate for your loyalty and filial piety to my father.
His ambition is commendable! However, the seizure is public money and cannot be taken privately. I specially send you 10,000 taels of internal money to make up for the encroachment, and there must be no violation. Your filial piety has been published in the "Da Ming Daily". I hope you will do the best in the future.
Serve the king with filial piety, replace filial piety with loyalty, and do not let me down."
With her words, the Concubine Xian not only preserved the status of her brother Biertahar, but also tricked Zhu Hengjia into giving him ten thousand taels of money as a reward. Not only that, the old emperor wanted all three of his sons to learn Biertahar.
Hal, being a good and filial son, also published his filial deeds in the "Da Ming Daily" for the world, mainly for his three sons to learn from.
The eunuch Ma Huanxi who was serving on the side was really shocked and said secretly: Concubine Xian is really good at it!
A small storm ended in comedy, and the real big storm is about to come.
