Galli's life plan was originally to rise to prominence under the leadership of Emperor Kangxi, from being a local official to a feudal official, gradually accumulating fame, and finally returning to Beijing to become a bachelor.
His expectations for himself are quite high.
However, fate was not good. When he reached middle age, his life script took an unexpected turn. His old master Kangxi passed away!
Now the governor was dumbfounded. He had followed the order and approached the East Palace. Who knew that the East Palace... Well, just mentioning it makes me cry. And the new king... Although the new king attracted attention because of his ranking, he has always been a good person.
He was modest and tolerant, and he was also very respectful to the East Palace.
Even now, the new king does not give preferential treatment to the deposed prince, which shows that he is still playing tricks. He will make another fortune, wait until two years later, write a letter to the boss, resign and go home. By then, he will have a good reputation, and everything will be safe and sound.
He can let his son attack Zuo Ling... As for Gan Tai, let him go outside the pass. The world is vast and life will be easier.
Driven by this idea, Galli hooked up with two examiners, and the target group was the children of salt merchants.
The salt merchants were rich. It should be noted that in the late years of the previous dynasty, the salt merchants' children traveled to the border areas to treat guests to dinner. Three hundred sheep only ate the mutton lips. Judging from the experience of eating royal banquets in Garli, the emperor was not as good as these salt merchants in terms of diet.
Play with flowers.
The previous dynasty was so strict about guarding the country, and the children of salt merchants were finally free to take part in the imperial examinations. In this dynasty, the children of salt merchants were even more serious about the imperial examinations. But not every salt merchant's father-in-law can study hard, and there is still that kind of luck.
Successfully passed the imperial examination and became an official.
In this case, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. It doesn't matter if you fail to pass the exam, but you can't buy a position as a judicial officer? In this case, Galli, the governor of Liangjiang, opened his mouth, and the residence of the two chief examiners suddenly became a bustling place.
Every year before the imperial examination, some people would go to the academic administration of the province to use articles as a stepping stone. Even if there were many people who used money as a stepping stone this year, they did not attract much attention.
In this way, the imperial court's talent promotion ceremony became a garbage dump after the collusion between officials and businessmen.
Until Zhang Penghie, an old minister with meritorious deeds, and Ertai and Fuge, two upstarts, arrived at the Governor's Office of Liangjiang, the Governor still felt that he would be safe and sound.
It's just a retired minister of the Ministry of Revenue and two young boys. What kind of son Chou Yinmao can be found out?
But he never expected that he really underestimated Ertai and Fuge. Zhang Penghie only made tea and practiced Tai Chi with Ga Li, but these two junior officials took advantage of them to drink tea and practice Tai Chi and kill the prefect of Jiangning.
prison.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to go now." Although Ertai has a resolute and honest nature, he has also experienced some strategies over the years. Although Fuge is very thoughtful, he has also done a lot of errands that can be seen by people, but also cannot be seen by people.
, but after all, he has a little trouble dealing with local officials.
As a typical son of a famous family, Fuge has good qualifications and a somewhat arrogant temperament, but he is still very polite to seniors like Ortai who have been abroad for several years and have experience.
"What do Yi'an say about this?" Fuge said: "We are imperial envoys after all. We can just go directly to the Yamen for interrogation. Is there anything you can say?"
Ertai said: "Brother Rich, listen to me. After all, we are here. Garli may be involved in the case. This is the emperor's secret order. But there are other officials on the ground in Liangjiang. We are the imperial envoys and we must
The errands are done well and no trouble is left behind.”
"...You are saying that the Kari ceremony is related to this, and whether the observation of Baoqi is related to this. If we go directly and do not deal with the local government, we will follow the facts or even scare the snake?"
"That's right." Ertai didn't want to talk to himself. He smiled and said, "But when you get here, who you can rely on depends on you, brother rich."
Fuge was born in the prime minister's palace, and his father and grandfather were famous. If it was a matter of building connections, no one would be more suitable than him. Fuge lived up to his trust, and said with a turn of his eyes: "Of course, you have to find someone who has been an official in the local area for many years, and he is absolutely not qualified."
The person who may be involved in this matter is Jiang Ning Weaving."
"Uncle Cao!"
Fu Ge came to the door so affectionately. When Ertai followed him through the door, the emperor ordered Fu Ge to follow him. Dealing with local snakes was seamless. Who doesn't know that Cheng Rongruo and Cao Ziqing have known each other for many years?
.
The son of a close friend came to visit because of official business. Naturally, Cao Yin did his duty and immediately invited the governor Zhang Boxing.
So, with the support of the governor Zhang Boxing, the two men brought the troubled scholars to trial, and then immediately requested an imperial edict to issue people to go to Jiangning, Suzhou and other places to arrest and bring to justice the children of the salt merchants involved.
It's not that Ga Li didn't expect that there would be an attack on the east, but since Zhang Penghie came, Zhang Boxing, Cao Yin and others have been drinking tea with him every day. Even if Ga Li showed off his face, these three people didn't care at all, and laughed loudly: "Gad Governor
, it’s better to drink more tea to relieve gas.”
In the end, when the two sides were about to break up, it was on the sixth day after the imperial envoy arrived in Jiangning that Galli finally escaped from the "tea-drinking trap" of Zhang Penghie, Zhang Boxing, and Cao Yin. But it was too late, and they had already
Among them, Zuo Bifan, the chief examiner of Jiangnan Township Examination, and Zhao Jin, the deputy chief examiner, have been detained.
...This is impossible. Galli faced the smiling Zhang Pengye in front of him, and those two hateful boys, who betrayed me?
Cao Yin and Zhang Boxing left the Governor's Office of Liangjiang. Governor Zhang Boxing touched his belly: "I feel like vomiting after drinking tea these days. Zi Qing, let's forget about it now. I really didn't expect that your in-law Li Xu would actually
I’m also helping out in Suzhou.”
"The matter has become such a big deal, but he has nothing to do with it. He is eager to contribute to the emperor and get some good fruits when he returns to the capital." Cao Yin smiled and sighed: "I am an old in-law, and I am not confused to the end. It doesn't matter, I won't hide it from Mr. Zhang, anyway.
We are old friends, and I don’t want to see him die.”
"Yes, who wants to watch their colleagues fall?"
Zhang Boxing had been fighting with Garli for several years. Now seeing that Garli was about to fall, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He looked back at the governor's office: "Gali has been rampant since Shanxi. The late emperor cherished his talent and warned Chen Pengnian repeatedly.
That incident still rings in my ears.”
Once an emperor, once a courtier. This sentence appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time, but the new king obviously only focused on the wrong things. This was fair, and they, the old ministers, felt at ease.
When the news reached the capital, Yin Ti wore plain clothes and burned incense in the Mao Qin Palace. After discussing with the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he immediately approved the memorial: Zuo and Zhao were executed on the spot in Suzhou to give an explanation to the scholars. All their property was
Confiscated, the family was exiled to Morgan.
Galli's family was escorted to the capital and ordered to protect the army. The bodyguards, led by the chief bodyguard and the imperial minister Pandi, immediately went to search Gali's residence in the capital, and the whole family was immediately imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment.
And the emperor publicly stated, "If there is another case of fraud in the examination hall during this joint examination or the palace examination, I will not be lenient and punish them severely!"
The two examiners are directly responsible. Kill them to appease the grievances of the Jiangnan scholars, and Galli must return to the capital to punish him. Regarding the issues such as deposing the prince, Yinti must investigate them carefully, so he might as well deal with them all at once this time.
Everyone involved has done it!
"Brother, will this matter involve us?"
After school at noon in Hongde Hall, all the brothers returned to their residences. Hongxi pulled his eldest brother Hongmin away from him and secretly asked: "I heard that the emperor has ordered someone to escort Galli back to the capital from Jiangnan...Brother,
I'm a little scared."
He is sulky and stubborn in private, but when he is really faced with something, Hongxi is only half a teenager, so he can only subconsciously seek help from the most reliable people around him. His eldest brother has already married and started a business, and he is always an adult, so it must be right to ask him
.
"It will be fine." Hong Min said dryly, "Your sister-in-law went to Yangxin Hall to greet the queen the day before yesterday. The queen also said that the capital was in a mess before the exam, and she wanted to take us to the garden... It should be fine."
"Yeah." When he mentioned his eldest sister-in-law, Hong Xi wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut and said after a while: "And Hong Jin, he has been having a good time with Hong Yu, Hong Yu and the others recently... Brother, I don't care.
Do you care?"
Hong Min sighed and looked at his brother seriously: "Have you forgotten what Ama said? As an emperor, my uncle will not embarrass us. Hong Jin... he wants to take a better path for himself, and we, as brothers, will have to
Are you holding him back?"
"I don't mean to... I just feel like he is like this, as if he wants to be the emperor's son."
"...Sigh." Hong Min smiled bitterly, "You also know that this is impossible. If he is really the emperor's son, does he need to lean in like this?"
Some things are self-explanatory, Hong Xi stopped talking, and Hong Min continued: "I'm afraid neither you nor I will be too happy with the title. If Hong Jin can have a title, wouldn't that be a good thing? It's better than being bare-headed.
Much stronger."
In the golden autumn season, there was a lot of crying in the Zhenghongqi community in the capital. There were many people watching the excitement, and the crowd was talking about it, "Isn't Gali the governor? Why was his house ransacked?"
"Hey, you are so uninformed. The brother-in-law of the second son of my third uncle's grandpa is working as an interpreter in the Lifanyuan. He has heard about it. Galli made a lot of money in Jiangnan Township. Long live our Lord.
There is an order to bring Gali back to Caishikou and behead him!"
"What!" said the man in silk robes next to him scornfully: "What do you know? My brother-in-law works as a book clerk in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was Gali who hid the children of the Hesheli family. The case of the late emperor, he
How dare you hide it like this? Now that our Long Live Master knows it, how can he not be angry? The Dong E family is full of people, tsk tsk."
"What does that have to do with us? My son is now studying in the official school in the palace, and he has been summoned by our master Long Live the Lord!" Someone else said: "Then I want to go home and tell my son that when he becomes an official in the future, he should not make money or harm the whole family.
!”
"Your boy is so good at studying!" The conversation among the group shifted from the Galli family's misfortune to their own children.
Galli's mother also had a royal decree, and the old lady had gone through great storms. She still remembered the incident when Galli was impeached by ginseng in Shanxi. But the national talent promotion ceremony was nothing compared to other events. The old lady also knew that from the time of the ancestors to the present, the imperial court had been impeached because of science and technology.
How many people have been killed by fraud?
My son may not be able to escape this time, and now he has to save the remaining ones. The old lady thought about it again and again. As an old lady and Mrs. Gaoming, she can also ask someone to submit her petition. The old lady accused the eldest son Gali and The second son Selki was disobedient and unfilial and behaved illegally!
"His mother is ashamed of this person's words and deeds, which shows that Garli is really heinous." Ma Qi told Yinti in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace. After more than a year of running in, Ma Qi now has control over the new king. I know how to deal with Xin Jun.
"After the ministers and others discussed it, they submitted their proposal to the ministry for discussion. This person's crimes are so heinous that he deserves to be killed!"
Ma Qi continued: "In addition, this time Zhang Penghhe, Ertai, Fuge and others discovered in Jiangning that Gali once harbored Gantai, the son of the late Hesheli Changtai. When the late emperor cut off Changtai's title, his title was Zigantai reported that he was missing... Now it seems that Changtai probably gave his son to Garli to take care of him in order to avoid punishment from the court."
"Honghan, what do you think?"
The emperor, who was sitting on the Kang, did not comment on the report. Instead, he asked the eldest brother who was standing next to him, "How do you think we should deal with Gali's behavior? There is also the problem of Gan Tai, please tell me."
Several of the emperor's children, Da Gege and Er Gege, and their second and third elder brothers were sitting behind the screen. The emperor's eldest son, Hong Han, stood beside the emperor. The ministers were all staring at this young man. If nothing else happened, this boy would He was the prince of the Qing Dynasty and the future emperor.
On weekdays, Hong Han often met with these bachelors and Nanshu Fang, but this time it was obviously different from usual. The way they looked at him seemed to be seeing something suspiciously like a golden mountain. They were both looking forward to it and hoping for it, but it was heavy. of.
Hong Han and his second uncle have something in common at this moment. Their lives have been soaked in a liquid called power.
"I think," Hong Han composed himself, and considered, "I think... Ma Qi is right, Ga Li should show off his killings to serve as a warning to others. As for Qian Tai, perhaps he should be sentenced to exile. Chang Tai is already dead. Well, Lunbu was sentenced to exile by the late emperor. Considering that Qian Tai was entrusted with the gift of Karma by his father, it is reasonable and legal for the descendants of the Hesheli family to be exiled. This is what I think."
"It's appropriate." Yinti nodded, "Well, now that Garli's mother accuses him of being disobedient to Selqi, what do you think we should do?"
Honghan answered quickly this time, and it seemed that he had thought about it after hearing about it: "My son thought that even if this was a way for Garli's mother to clear the suspicions of other people in the family, the court could only accept it." .And if a mother accuses her son of disobedience, he will be punished for all the crimes according to the rituals. Except for the explicit killing, the punishment will probably be one step higher."
"Ling Chi, or cut in half?"
Yinti asked so lightly, Honghan's face turned a little pale: "I think it depends on the disobedience of his mother's first complaint, and how disrespectful he is to his mother. Just seeing that Gari harbored the son of the guilty minister, it is unreasonable. Fraud in the market seems to be cut in half."
"Okay, it seems that I asked you to follow King Chun out of the palace to do things, and you still learned something." Yinti smiled and said: "This year's enke, the judgment submitted by the Ministry of Punishment will be postponed, and I plan to let you preside over the review case by the Ministry of Punishment. , you need to practice more and study more, do you understand?"
"Hey, Shay Khan Amma, my son understands."
Before the capital examination, Garli, Selqi, Gantai and others were escorted to the capital.
