Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 97 One stone stirs up a thousand waves
In the 36th year of Kangxi’s reign, the first dynasty finally opened in the midst of everyone’s different expectations. Just after three shouts of long live, He Longling, the censor of Shanxi Dao, took the lead, knelt down and said, “My lord, He Longling, the censor of Shanxi Dao There is a letter to your majesty, the minister impeached Chen Tingjing, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, to disregard the laws of the country, and forcibly pursued the comparison, which led to Wei Yawu, the head of the Yuheng Qingli Department of the Ministry of Industry, and Qian Jingming, the head of the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Rites, who were forced to commit suicide due to their inability to pay their debts. , this situation really hurts the dignity of the imperial court, I hope His Majesty will see clearly."

As soon as He Longling, the censor of Shanxi Province, finished speaking, Lang Yueming, the censor of Gyeonggi Province, came out. He also impeached the officials of the household department, but he impeached Jining, the servant of the household department.As soon as Lang Yueming finished speaking, Yushi Kuixu appeared again, but it was Yinzhen who was impeached.These three censors do not belong to the same master, He Longling belongs to the eldest son, Lang Yueming belongs to the lineage of the crown prince, and the imperial censor Kuixu is the eldest brother's servant.

Standing behind these three censors is an elder brother, but none of them are easy to provoke. With such a leadership, a large group of court officials have come out to play memorials, all of which are impeachment officials of the household department. Counting, almost all officials above the head of the household department were impeached once. Dozens of officials of the entire household department, including the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, were all on the case, and none of them slipped through the net.

Looking at the bullets piled up on the imperial table, and the officials big and small kneeling all over the ground, Mr. Kangxi was so angry that his complexion was livid.The old man had planned early in the morning that there would be a lot of excitement this morning, and he also knew that the Ministry of Household Affairs would be impeached. He originally planned to forcefully suppress the bullets, but he didn't expect that the disturbance would be so big that there would be Nearly half of the courtiers impeached the household department, so the old man's original plan to protect the household department was defeated.

Kangxi is a powerful emperor, there is nothing wrong with that, but the problem is that the old man always cares about face and cannot allow himself to leave a stain on history. Now so many officials are impeaching the Household Department, and the evidence is solid, and the Household Department's pursuit is indeed ruthless It's too much, forcing people's lives. Although it is out of public interest, it has damaged the face of the court. It is impossible not to pursue the responsibility of the household department. The old man doesn't want to leave a bad reputation in the history books.

The Ministry of Household Affairs has no choice but to punish, but who should be punished and how to punish, there is a calculation: as the elder brother in charge, Yinzhen will definitely suffer, and it is inevitable to withdraw from the job, although the old man is in his heart The head also knows that Yinzhen has been wronged. After all, after such a comparison, the national treasury has been enriched a lot, but the problem is that there is a murder case, and Yinzhen, the supervisor, cannot get rid of it.

Chen Tingjing is old. Although he is a capable official, he is a bit older after all, so he just took this opportunity to retire and go home to recuperate. It can be regarded as a scapegoat.Both Jining and Wang Jie are in their prime and have outstanding abilities. The old man can't bear to be punished severely, so they are eligible for protection.The few petty officials who were chased by the household department and killed them too much were almost sentenced to exile.Just like that, the old man opened his golden mouth in court:
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen was dismissed as an envoy to the household department, and he was fined to study in the study for half a year; Chen Tingjing was removed from the post of secretary of the household department, and he was allowed to return to his hometown when he was old; Minister of the Ministry of War Li Tianfu served as Minister of the Ministry of Households...

Although Mr. Kangxi did not announce the suspension of the competition, after changing the brains of a few heads of the household department, the matter of the competition will be over. Those elder brothers are happy in their hearts. If it weren't for this They were going to court at the moment, so they might have laughed out loud, but they were obviously happy a little earlier——the old man had just announced the punishment to the household department, and immediately turned around and tossed the kicker, brother: ten Elder Brother Yinyu behaved pervertedly, recklessly, and out of decency, so he was dismissed from the title of Viscount Bei, fined his salary for half a year, and studied in the study for a year; he was moved to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to Xiangming Shandong, and he was moved to Aji, the Minister of Officials, to be the Minister of Fujian. So... the old man released all the generals under the elder brother, the third elder brother, and the eighth elder brother, and slapped them hard, but he didn't move the prince's team.

The old man made such a toss, cut the mess with a sharp knife, and beat it down with a stick, all the elder brothers were beaten and hurt, and the big guys didn't have the mood to make a fuss, and they all planned to leave to discuss gains and losses with the good student.But at this moment, Qin Wuyong, the eunuch of the ceremony, presented a copy that had just been urgently delivered by the ticket signing office, but it was a memorial written by Yin Zuo far away in the south of the Yangtze River.After reading the memorial, the old man was silent for a while, and finally he didn't say a word, but waved his hand to signal Qin Wuyong to read it aloud.

The princes and courtiers who had been a little dizzy by the old man's thunderbolt method suddenly exploded after listening to the scriptures. There was a lot of civil and military discussions in the court.At the same time, the officials had different positions, and they quarreled in court around the method of returning the fire to the public, which completely lost the dignity of the courtiers.

Suo'etu, Ma Qi, Tong Guowei, and Li Guangdi, all the ministers in the study room, were all motionless, with calm faces and deep thoughts. This book has too much to do with it. Declare.And those lower-level court officials were just arguing with each other, but no one showed their attitude.Grandpa Kangxi glanced at the chaotic court, he was not angry, but ordered to retreat.

The court is retreating, but the matter is not over, not to mention that the court officials are waiting to see the direction of the wind, even the brothers are not sure about it, and they don't understand what the old sixth is up to, so they are anxious to analyze it first Talk about your own gains and losses, no, the brothers split up and went to discuss with each other.

In the study room, old man Kangxi sat at the head, looked around at the ministers who went to the study room, and said: "Today, I will discuss Xiao Liu'er's paper, and all the lovers have something to say."

Suo'etu, as a scholar of Baohe Palace, ranks first among the ministers. Of course, he has to say this first. This guy is a firm backer of the prince, but he is a deadly enemy with Yinzuo. He thought about it on the way to the study. After thinking about the countermeasures, he was the first one to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the words of King Yi County are really wrong to the country. The consumption has actually reached three qian, which is a violation of the regulations. Since it is owned by the public, it should be charged to the national treasury, and there is absolutely no reason to distribute it to those officials. Officials should be clean and self-sufficient, how can the court have no salary?"

Suo Etu's words were impassioned and high-sounding, as if he was the most upright official in the Qing Dynasty, and the reasons were very good, but Ma Qi had a different opinion, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with Lord Suo's proposal." From my point of view, I think that this gift from King Yijun is really a way to seek the country, this method is called raising money, since the local officials have no right to collect fire money, naturally they have given up the idea of ​​​​exploiting the people, I think this method is feasible!"

Tong Guowei's face was full of contemplation, and he didn't speak in silence. He looked at Kangxi's gaze and came out bravely, saying: "My lord, I think the words of Mr. Suo and Mr. Ma are reasonable, and I respectfully invite the Holy Judge."

Li Guangdi had been a magistrate, and he knew the power of this book, whether he agreed or opposed it would offend people, so he simply kept his mouth shut, and Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word.Several other ministers in the study room expressed their opinions, some agreed, some opposed, and there was a lot of quarrel.Grandpa Kangxi seemed to have no idea what he was thinking. After listening to it for a long time, he felt annoyed. He waved his hand to stop the noisy debate of the ministers, and ordered everyone to give up and let them kneel down and disperse.

For several days in a row, all the ministers and elder brothers were very busy with Yinzuo's paper. Whether they were in favor or against, they were very busy. Generally speaking, the officials who had nothing to say were absolutely in favor with both hands. The fat official opposed it with all his strength.

The crown prince and eldest elder brother have some grudges with Yin Zuo, so naturally they oppose it with all their strength; If Yinzuo's book is really implemented, they will be hit the hardest, but they can't figure out what kind of tricks Yinzuo is going to do, and they can't figure out what the old man Kangxi thinks. Not daring to express his opinion in a hurry, he hurriedly discussed for a few days, and finally prepared two papers and one agreed.An objection is to wait for the limelight during the court meeting; the fourth brother Yinzhen was spared from the job, feeling depressed, sullen at home, licking his wounds, how could he care about Yinzuo's share.

Everyone has been busy for a few days, and finally it's time to go to court again. Good fellow, as soon as the court started, all the civil and military officials in the court were full of energy, citing scriptures and arguing endlessly. It's not that he was worried about such a serious crime as the emperor's disrespect, but he was afraid that the bloodshed would have to be staged several times.The old man Kangxi was also dizzy from the quarrel with the courtiers, and besides, the old man himself really didn't make up his mind, no, with a wave of his hand, he made a decree - Yinzuo, the king of Yi County, set off for Beijing immediately.

Through his own channels, Yinzuo has already known about the changes in the court, and he is already ready to return to Beijing at this moment. No, he just received the imperial decree sent by the old man Babaili urgently, and he was very proud of himself. Pack your bags, arrange your troops, and set off for Beijing...
