The fifth time, the father and son of Wah He was murdered, the eunuch's servants
Kangxi woke up at five o'clock the next day. Aunt Sumala and Mrs. Sun prepared clothes for him. Someone from the minister's office had already come to invite the holy chariot, and the shoulder carriage was also ready. Kangxi hurriedly used it Qing Yanyan rinsed his mouth, took two random bites of snacks, and then ordered him to drive and clear the door. Following Shunzhi Ye Yuji, he set a rule that the emperor must summon ministers every day, and Shunzhi himself followed suit. After that, he had to get up, see his father off to the imperial court, and then return to his study. Therefore, getting up early has been a habit that Kangxi has developed since he was a child.
After not sleeping well all night, Kangxi felt a little tired. But after getting up, he played "Buku" in the courtyard a few times as usual. He was sweating all over and his sleepiness had disappeared. At this moment, he sat in the shoulder cart and greeted The cool morning breeze blowing in my face made me feel much calmer.
When we arrived at the Qianqing Gate, it was the second quarter of Yinshi. We saw Jieshu as the leader of the class, and a group of people below him kneeling and obeisance, including Bilong and Suksaha. The senior minister Suo'etu was holding a stack of The clerk bowed and stood behind the three auxiliary ministers. Two rows of imperial guards, wearing bright uniforms and swords hanging on their waists, stood under the Danqi. Kangxi glanced at it and saw Wei Dongting standing at the end with his head bowed. Only Wo He and four other people were missing, and he couldn't help but feel angry again. Without waiting for help, Huo Di jumped down, walked into the hall and sat down in the middle. Then Suk Saha raised the curtain, Jie Shu, and Obai , Yi Bilong and Suo'etu filed in and knelt down.
As usual, the summary of the memorial is reported by Suo Etu. One is that the townships will stop testing the eight-legged art and only use policy theory; the other is to ask Shunzhi to exempt the unpaid land tax fifteen years ago; the third is to report Geng Jimao's victory Tongshan; the last thing is Maolima's 600-mile rush, saying that the remnants of King Li Chuang, Li Laiheng and Hao Yaoqi, have been besieged in Maolu Mountain in Yunyang, and asked the court to increase troops to suppress it. Because Kangxi was not interested in these things Not very familiar with it, Suo'etu was read and explained to Kangxi at the same time, which took a full hour.
While Kangxi was listening, he played with the sapphire Ruyi on the case and was thinking about how to ask about Wo He. He glanced down and saw Suk Saha lying on the ground silently, unable to stop himself. He peeked at Obai with his eyes. Obai had long been impatient. He raised his face and intercepted Suo'etu's words: "You just read, who asked you to speak? Isn't the emperor inferior to you?"
Suo'etu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Back to the middle hall, this is the original decree of the Empress Dowager. I was afraid that the emperor would not understand it, so I specially asked me to explain it." Obai did not wait for him to finish speaking and said: "These memorials, The imperial mail has been sent out a long time ago, why bother with so much verbosity!"
Seeing that Suo'etu's face was a little troubled, Kangxi interrupted the conversation and asked: "Suo'etu, how is your father's illness?" Seeing the emperor asking about his father's illness, Suo'etu hurriedly knelt down, met and replied: "Master, please Hong Fu, it seems that the phlegm and asthma are better this morning."
"Well, go back and greet him for me."
"Thank you, Master." Suo'etu hurriedly kowtowed and echoed.
Ao Bai saw that Kangxi had nothing to say, so he said, "Your Majesty, if there is no holy edict, please allow me to leave." After saying this, he was about to get up.
Kangxi put down Ruyi gently and said: "What are you busy with? I still have something to ask - these Japanese people in Xizhu have always been working in front of me. I think they are pretty good. For what reason did the auxiliary government send people to arrest them yesterday?" I want to hear how to deal with them."
According to the ancestral system, the emperor who is not personally in charge of the government is entrusted with the full authority to handle government affairs by the auxiliary ministers. The daily reports are actually official articles, just listen to them. Now that Kangxi wants to inquire about this matter, Ye Bilong feels a little surprised.
He was startled at first, then kowtowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Wohe, Xizhu, Zheketu, Jueluo Saierbi is good at riding a royal horse, and he used the royal bow and arrow to shoot deer in the imperial garden. It is very disrespectful! Yesterday, I and other ministers met,
Four of them have been dismissed from their posts for questioning, and are now detained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for investigation. As for what to do -" he thought for a moment and then said, "The auxiliary government has not yet been decided, and we will wait for the ministers to discuss it before making the announcement."
Ao Bai was very dissatisfied with this answer from Yi Bilong, but Yi Bilong had always been at odds with him, so it was not a good idea. After thinking for a while, he finally felt suffocated, so he raised his head and said coldly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
In Youchong, these political affairs should be carried out according to the legacy of the late emperor and be implemented by ministers and others!"
Before he finished speaking, Kangxi suddenly asked: "Can't I even ask?"
This question made several ministers choke and had to bow their heads without saying a word. Obai thought to himself: "If we don't block him back this time, he will ask about everything in the future, so why will he assist in the government?" After a long time, Obai thought.
He slowly said: "According to the ancestral teachings, the emperor cannot ask questions before he is in charge. But this time it is related to the palace, so we might as well make an exception."
This meant "It won't happen next time." Of course Kangxi heard it. He suppressed the fire in his heart and sneered: "Okay, let's talk about what I just said, what crime should this Japanese heir be charged with?"
"He is good at riding horses in the Forbidden City," Obai gritted his teeth and raised his head and said, "This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, so he should be abandoned. It is his father, Feiyang Guzong, who is lawless, uttering complaints and roaring in the court, and he should be abandoned as well.
city!"
"Abandoning the market" means beheading. Kangxi couldn't help being shocked! "The four Wohe people were the late emperor's bodyguards, and Feiyanggu was a minister of the inner court. He was always cautious and had no fault. To punish him with death just for riding a royal horse is too much.
Come on! I think the imperial staff is enough."
"It's too late!" Obai sneered and replied: "Your Majesty, national laws cannot be abolished for personal reasons. There is a clear lesson from ancient times! Feiyanggu and Wohe were executed yesterday afternoon!"
The words came out, alarming Ebilong and Suksaha. They looked at each other and turned very pale. Suksaha kowtowed and said: "I have not agreed on the matter of killing the Japanese hegemon. This is
Ao Zhongtang made his own decisions. He was good at killing the emperor's ministers. Please ask the emperor to punish him!" Ao Bai chuckled and said: "Su Zhongtang, Wohe is good at riding horses. Didn't you also call him a 'damn slave'? How can he really die?
Why do you feel sorry for him?" Suk Saha was at a loss for words. He was thinking about how to respond when he saw the Queen Mother, with a gloomy expression on her face, assisting Aunt Sumala as she stepped into the hall. Ye Bilong knew that this old woman was smart and capable, and he was immediately discouraged.
, lying on the ground and not daring to express his anger. Obai thought for a moment, then calmed down and secretly said: "She is not the same as before, and now she doesn't have Dorgon to support her!" Even though he thought so, he didn't say a word.
Dare to speak.
After a long while, I heard the Empress Dowager calmly say: "I am old and useless. In the past few years, I only think about enjoying happiness. I hope there will be a peaceful day, everyone is safe, and I can close my eyes and go to see Taizu Taizong.
.You two assistants to the government, I think it’s good to see you, and I feel quite at ease.” Everyone was wondering how she said this, when suddenly they heard her tone change, and she raised her voice and said, “Who knew that was not the case! You guys
Do you think I can't kill you?" Then he hit the dragon case with a "slap" of his palm. The tone was so angry that even Kangxi trembled with fright. She usually seemed to be just a kind grandmother, but Jie Shu repeatedly said that the princes
, Belle, and Beizi are all afraid of her, but I still don’t believe it. Seeing this color today has opened my eyes.
The three assistant ministers met one after another, and Suk Saha said in a trembling voice: "Slave..." "It's none of your business!" The Empress Dowager stopped him coldly before he could say anything: "I would like to know, Yi Bilong
He and Ao Bai, who can support you for being so bold! He is good at seizing people in the palace and beheading them without telling them. This is the first strange thing since the founding of our dynasty!" Seeing that the Empress Dowager was so aggressive, the three ministers
Still lying on the ground without answering.
Ye Bilong felt that the atmosphere could not be eased if he did not speak, so he coughed lightly and said: "The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old! I did not go directly to the palace to take the person. Wu Liangfu, the eunuch of the capital, sent him out and took it outside the Meridian Gate.
." Suo'etu took the opportunity to persuade him and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, please calm down! Don't be so angry that your noble body of gold and jade will be ruined!" As he said this, he secretly gave Kangxi a look to stop. Only Suk Saha remained silent.
Kangxi didn't pay attention to Suo'etu's eyes, but the Empress Dowager saw it at a glance, stood up, took Kangxi's hand and sneered: "Raw rice has been made into cooked rice, and what's the use of it! The emperor is in front of you.
Here, he is just an ignorant naughty boy, but today my old lady is in trouble! What kind of 'golden and jade nobles' are we? You are worth more when you are angry!" After saying that, Qingyu took Kangxi and walked away.
Ruyi was taken to the ground and fell to pieces!
As soon as Kangxi and others left, there was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone's face was gray. Only Aobai stood up nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Stop kneeling, retreat, let's go back! I will come to Suk Saha tomorrow."
Please take the blame!"
After the grandfather and grandson left the Qianqing Gate, the Empress Dowager ordered the entourage: "The Emperor will go back to the Yangxin Hall first, and Sister Man will be waiting for you." She also told Kangxi, "Send someone to call Suo'etu to Ci at noon today.
Ning Gong is coming." After that, he took the Luan Yu and left. Wei Dongting and other cadres followed closely behind Kangxi. Sun and Aunt Sumala had been waiting at the entrance of Yongxiang. When they saw Kangxi, they hurriedly greeted him.
Only then did the few Huangmen carrying the chengyu catch up. Aunt Sumala called out, "No need!" before they stopped.
Kangxi ignored everyone and just strode forward. When he arrived at Yuehua Gate, he saw Wu Liangfu and a few young eunuchs happily carrying an eight-treasure glass screen towards them. When he saw Kangxi, he hurriedly walked in unison.
Stand still.
Wu Liangfu took a step forward, put one leg on the ground and said, "I'd like to say hello to you!" After saying that, he raised his head with a smile on his face.
Seeing the proud look on Wu Liangfu's face, Kangxi became even more angry. He put his hands behind his back and said nothing, just staring at Wu Liangfu. Wu Liangfu was originally smiling, but when he saw Kangxi's gloomy face, he didn't ask him to get up.
Dare to lift it up, but avoided Kangxi's gaze in confusion.
Kangxi did not look down on Wu Liangfu, but turned around and said to Aunt Sumala: "It's just spring, and my body is so dry. The wind here is quite cool. Ask someone to bring a chair. I'll sit here." Waiting for Sumala.
As she spoke, several small Huangmen rushed to the back and brought a carved boxwood chair. Kangxi sat down and slowly asked Wu Liangfu: "Where are you going to send this eight-treasure glass screen?"
Kangxi spoke, and Wu Liangfu breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "The Empress Dowager gave it to Aozhongtang when he went to court last time."
Kangxi couldn't remember this incident, so he thought for a while and asked: "Then why didn't he take it last time?"
"If I were to return to Long Live, Ao Zhongtang resigned at that time."
"This is strange. Since you have resigned, why do you have to send him away again?" Kangxi asked, staring at him.
Wu Liangfu was not smart enough to begin with. He was a "two-fifth-sighted person" and did not understand Kangxi's intention. He touched his head and replied: "Ao Zhongtang asked someone to send a letter to ask. I also want to do my best to Ao Zhongtang."
Filial piety. I thought, Mr. Sony is ill, and everything outside depends on Aozhongtang——"
"Bastard!" Kangxi was immediately furious and said sternly, "So you dared to steal the screen and leave the palace to curry favor with him? Let me ask you, who arrested Wo He?"
When Kangxi asked this question, Wu Liangfu realized that the situation was serious. He thought that if he didn't lift out the old Maitreya Buddha and crush the little Bodhisattva today, he would suffer a lot. So he bit the bullet and did it.
Courage replied: "This is not the slave's business. The slave was ordered to send people to capture the Japanese. Aozhongtang is in charge of the defense of the Forbidden City. He should have the right to punish the lawbreakers in the Sixth Palace. How can this matter involve the slave?
?" After saying this, he did not even touch his head, but stared at Kangxi intently.
Wu Liangfu was so arrogant and rude, Kangxi was completely stunned. He turned around and asked Aunt Sumala: "Do you think this matter involves this servant?" Aunt Sumala said: "If you don't say anything else, just do this to this slave.
If he is so arrogant, he will not be punished! However, he is now the godson of Ao Bai Zhongtang, so the emperor might as well save him some dignity and give him some points!"
"Yes, the crime must not be punished!" Kangxi was aroused by these lukewarm "pleaes" and became even more uncontrollable. He patted the chair and stood up and said: "You father and son have wielded power and taken away my trusted bodyguards. How dare you
Say 'no involvement'! Pass the order and call Zhao Bingzheng from the Jingshifang!"
Wu Liangfu usually acted like a fox and pretended to be a tiger, and offended many people, and everyone hated him to the bone. Now that Long Live Lord was angry and wanted to deal with him, they all wanted to hear this, and a little Huangmen rushed down to deliver the order.
When Wu Liangfu saw someone calling Zhao Bingzheng, he shuddered in his heart and thought: "Is it possible that I am going to be exploited today?" Immediately, a cold sweat broke out on his head, he took a few steps forward on his knees and said with a sad face: "I know this!"
It’s over, long live my lord, I remember that I have served the late emperor for many years, please forgive me for this first time!”
"First time?" Aunt Sumala replied coldly from the side, "Last time Long live the Lord asked you to slap me, did you slap me?"
Wu Liangfu bumped his head on the ground and said hurriedly: "I slapped you. If you don't believe me, just ask Xiao Wuzi!"
"Are you the only smart one in the world?" Aunt Sumala said coldly, "How dare I ask you if I don't know the details? Although Xiao Wuzi has no identity, he was on an errand last time under orders. How dare you slap his mouth!"
After hearing this, Kangxi was so angry that he trembled and cursed: "Okay! This slave is really bold. Is Zhao Bingzheng here?"
Zhao Bingzheng had come early and looked at it coldly for a while. He felt that the matter was really difficult and he had no idea. Suddenly, when Kangxi asked him, he knelt down and replied: "Slave Zhao Bingzheng!"
Kangxi said: "You have seen it all, what crime should Wu Liangfu deserve?" Zhao Bingzheng was really in trouble at this moment. At best, the master refused to obey, at worst, the devil was not easy to offend. He felt anxious and suppressed it.
He came up with an idea, kowtowed and replied: "It should be Tingzhang!"
This was a decision that could be taken lightly or severely, but it suited Kangxi's heart. He said at that time: "I will do as you say, Tingzhang! Give me a hard beating!"
Zhao Bingzheng stood up and waved his hands outward. Several eunuchs who were in charge of torture came over fiercely and dragged Wu Liangfu away. Seeing Zhao Bingzheng standing aside, Kangxi said sternly: "If you don't go to prison, stand still."
What are you doing here?" Zhao Bingzheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please tell me, how many imperial staffs are there?" Kangxi tilted his head impatiently and said, "Just beat him, don't talk anymore!"
After about thirty blows, Wu Liangfu was already bruised and bruised. He couldn't stand it anymore and howled at the top of his lungs: "Ao Zhongtang, my lord! Come and save me! I'm going to kill someone!"
When Kangxi heard Wu Liangfu cry for mercy in pain, he actually shouted "Aozhongtang", he became even more furious, and shouted at the entrance of Yongxiang outside: "Hit, hit! Don't say you did me, even the godfather can't help you."
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the chatter stopped and people stopped shouting. Zhao Bingzheng came over to reply and said: "Long live my lord, that Wu Liangfu has fainted and died."
Kangxi looked back at Aunt Sumala, who nodded with an almost imperceptible smile and said: "Long live the Lord, just develop him, there is no need to say more about the unnecessary words just now." Mrs. Sun was a little bit a little bit.
Unable to hold back his anger, he stepped forward and said, "Amitabha! The beating is over. Let me stop." Kangxi smiled and said, "Emma, don't worry about it, I'm here!" He turned around and ordered, "Fight, keep fighting, fight.
Damn this stinky thing!"
Zhao Bingzheng returned outside and looked at Wu Liangfu. He had slowly woken up. He looked at the thugs on the left and right, walked up to Wu Liangfu, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Eunuch Wu, you must be a villain who will show no mercy. Long live my life."
Today I want your life, and no one can come to save you now. I miss you and I have been friends for many years, and my brother asked them to do it more conveniently, so that you will suffer less. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it to the villain.
.”
Wu Liangfu knew that his time had come and he would die anyway. He lay on the ground with his eyes closed and nodded, saying intermittently: "Tell Ao... godfather... that I died... unjustly... I did it for him..." Zhao Bingzheng did not
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a eunuch raised a board and hit the back of his head with a board and gave it a hard chop. Wu Liangfu screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, kicked his legs a few times, and then died in mourning.
Only then did Kangxi feel that his depression calmed down a little, and he stood up and was about to go home. Suddenly a eunuch came up and started to play: "Ao Zhongtang handed over the sign to see the Holy Emperor."
"No!" Kangxi replied coldly, turned around and told Wei Dongting, "Why don't you go to Suo Mansion to pass on the Queen Mother's decree!" (To be continued)
