Chapter 1,258 The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, Aunt Sumala is seriously ill

Due to Kangxi's relatively lenient policies, the capital's commerce was prosperous.

The shops that can be opened near the imperial city are all powerful businessmen.

And big businessmen naturally pay more attention to appearance.

Most of the shops near the imperial city are two or three-story pavilions, about three feet high, with red and green carvings and brocaded windows. At night, dozens of huge lanterns are hung high, shining on the street, like During the day, it can be said that flowers are in full bloom and all industries are dazzling.

Ruoxi, who has been in Qing Dynasty for more than a year, visited the night market for the first time. Naturally, everything she saw was strange.

Ruolan had not been to the night market a few times, but she was not very interested in these, so she stayed with Su Mingzhe to protect Ruoxi.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from far away.

The East Palace guards hiding nearby rushed out instantly and guarded Su Mingzhe, sisters Ruolan and Ruoxi in the center.

"Shi Shilun, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, please send your regards to the Crown Prince!"

Shi Shilun appeared with a team of government officials. Seeing Su Mingzhe being protected by guards, he was so frightened that he quickly rolled off his horse, took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

"No need!"

Su Mingzhe couldn't help laughing when he saw that the person coming was Shi Shilun:

"Shi Shilun, didn't Zhang Zhongtang give you an order to reflect on your mistakes at home? Why did you run out this late at night?"

Seeing that Su Mingzhe looked gentle and didn't seem to be angry with him, Shi Shilun responded with a smile:

"Back to the Crown Prince, I have indeed been ordered to reflect at home. However, as the festival approaches, there are more kidnappers and thieves in the city. I will discuss with the Fu Cheng, the general magistrate, the official and others to take turns on duty and inspect the imperial city on time! Today is my turn. During the inspection, I couldn't find a replacement for a while, so I had no choice but to violate Zhang Zhongtang's decree. Please also ask the prince to help me give you a good word in front of Zhang Zhongtang!"

"Well, I know you are restless, and I don't blame you for that. It's just that if someone says bad things about you in Zhang Zhongtang, you should defend yourself!"

Su Mingzhe and Shi Shilun joked for a while, waved their hands, and signaled the guards to give way to Shi Shilun.

Shi Shilun said goodbye and continued to inspect the imperial city.

Being disturbed by Shi Shilun, Ruoxi lost interest in shopping. She pulled her sister Ruolan into the carriage and said goodbye to the man and returned home.

Su Mingzhe sent a team of guards to escort him, while he rode back to the East Palace to rest.

Suddenly, Shi Shilun was impeached by the imperial censor. He was ordered to stay behind closed doors and reflect on the past, but he went out against the order.

Zhang Yushu wanted to invite Shi Shilun to confront him, but Su Mingzhe couldn't bear it after all, so he spoke up for Shi Shilun.

When the censor saw that the prince was supporting Shi Shilun, he did not dare to hold on to him any longer.

Not long after, the matter between Tuo Heqi and Shi Shilun came to a new conclusion.

It was true that Tuo Heqi's actions such as "robbing civilian girls" were removed. The nine admirals were removed from his body and he was demoted to the deputy commander of the forward battalion.

The new nine-door admiral, the position of commander of the infantry, was given to Longkodo by Su Mingzhe.

As for Shi Shilun, this "Shi Shi Lun" indeed has the behavior of "inviting to buy people's hearts".

When he dealt with public grievances and disputes, he did not rely on evidence, but relied on the wealth and status of the plaintiff and defendant to make judgments.

If a poor man goes to court with a rich man, this "Shi Laizi" will basically decide that the poor man wins and the rich man loses.

When an ordinary person goes to court against a powerful person, the ordinary person basically wins.

His behavior has long angered most of the powerful people in Beijing.

Now the matter is brought to the court for discussion.

Su Mingzhe and Zhang Yushu had no choice but to transfer him away from Zhili and be appointed governor of Shaanxi-Gansu.

This punishment instantly made all the civil and military officials lose their temper!

Shi Shilun was originally a third-rank Shuntian Prefecture Yin, and he also had the title of Second-rank Minister of Household Affairs.

Now that he has been punished, he has transformed into a second-rank governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

This is not a punishment, it is clearly a compliment!

But it was this kind of transfer. After all the civil and military officials present looked at each other, no one stood up to object.

When Shi Shilun learned that he was about to be transferred, he just whispered softly, and then gave a note and recommended to the court a new candidate for Shuntian Prefecture - Miao Sui, the magistrate of Dinghai County.

Miao Sui, the magistrate of Dinghai County, became the magistrate of Yishui in the 17th year of Kangxi's reign.

Because he was as honest as water and loved the people like a son, after his term was over, the superiors wanted to promote him to the post of magistrate. However, the people of Yishui refused to let him go, so he was not promoted for several terms.

In the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, Miao Sui, who had served four consecutive terms in Yishui, was finally transferred and went to Dinghai to continue serving as county magistrate.

After Miao Sui took office, he learned that there were three dangers in Dinghai: typhoons, pirates, and cruel officials.

He spent several more years building seawalls, preparing for typhoons, patrolling the sea lines, eliminating pirates, getting rid of bad habits, exempting all kinds of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, expanding the enrollment and expansion of the school, and recruiting more students.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now, people in Dinghai respectfully call him "Grandpa."

When Su Mingzhe and Zhang Yushu learned that Miao Sui, recommended by Shi Shilun, was such an upright and capable minister, they approved it without thinking.

When the dignitaries in the capital learned that "Cripple Shi" had recommended the same upright official before leaving, they were so angry that they cursed the eighteen generations of Shi family's ancestors.

At this moment, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace hurriedly came and reported that Aunt Sumala was seriously ill.

Sumala Aunt, the maid of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, experienced the destiny, Tiancong, Chongde, Shunzhi, and Kangxi five dynasties. She was proficient in Mongolian and Manchu writing and was Kangxi's first teacher.

After the death of Empress Xiaozhuangwen, the elder that Kangxi respected the most was Aunt Suma.

It can be said that in Kangxi's heart, Aunt Sumala's status was higher than that of the Empress Dowager.

When Su Mingzhe learned that Aunt Sumala was seriously ill, he did not dare to show any signs of neglect. He ordered the imperial physician to bring out all the precious medicinal materials to help Aunt Sumala die. At the same time, he sent eight hundred people to rush to report the news to Kangxi.

After Kangxi got the news, he was very anxious. However, his physical condition was not very good, so he had to take a boat and order people to return home day and night.

By the time Kangxi returned to the capital, it was already the third day of the first lunar month in the forty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign.

Su Mingzhe went out of the palace to greet him personally. Seeing Kangxi's anxious look, he quickly reported the situation.

When Kangxi heard that Aunt Sumala had been in a coma for half a month and was already in a critical condition, he immediately became angry and cursed:

"Eni (Kangxi's honorific title to Aunt Sumala) is not feeling well. Why didn't you report it in advance?"

"As soon as Auntie (Prince Kangxi's honorific title for Aunt Sumala) felt unwell, I immediately invited the imperial doctor and used the best medicine. I also immediately dispatched eight hundred people to rush to deliver a message to Amma..."

Su Mingzhe's explanation only elicited a cold snort from Kangxi.

Kangxi's biological mother died of illness early, and before he ascended the throne, he was taken care of by Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Aunt Sumala.

It can be said that although there is no blood relationship between the two, their intimacy is far beyond the ordinary mother-child relationship.

Therefore, if Kangxi could not see Aunt Sumala for the last time, he would definitely vent his anger on the left-behind prince Su Mingzhe.

Fortunately, before Yinxiang went on the expedition last year, Su Mingzhe refined a lot of life-saving elixirs.

When Aunt Sumala was seriously ill, she was fed a lot by Su Mingzhe, and she is still breathing her last breath.

Kangxi hurried to Cining Palace and saw the deposed prince Yinfeng, the eighth elder brother Yin, the ninth elder brother Yin, the tenth elder brother Yin who had been imprisoned in the clan mansion by his order, as well as the eldest elder brother Yin who was ordered to reflect at home. Yin, the fourteenth elder brother Yin, and other princes in the capital all knelt outside Cining Palace and recited Buddhist sutras and prayed for Aunt Sumala.

Seeing such a scene, Kangxi's hurried mood suddenly relaxed, and his eyes when he turned to look at Su Mingzhe became much softer:

"You summoned them all into the palace?"

"It was my son who summoned me to the palace!"

Su Mingzhe replied in a deep voice:

"The emperor was not in the capital at that time, and the imperial physician said that it would take someone close to her to keep calling her to stimulate my aunt's will to live.

, I can’t hold on alone day and night, so I have to call in all my brothers to support me!”

After Kangxi heard this, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes and he nodded:

"You did a good job..."
