Chapter 729: Horqin Obsession of Xiaozhuang (6)
With Qiao Mu's intervention and subtle influence, the Han ministers in the court who had been suppressed by the four auxiliary ministers had finally recovered and actively moved closer together, stood behind Qiao Mu, and began to support Qiao Mu together.
I hope to gain a foothold in the court, gain a certain amount of power, and have the right to speak, so as to facilitate their Han people to gain some benefits.
To avoid being bullied too much.
No matter what, whether it is ethnic or regional, or someone else, to be an official in it, you can gain certain benefits for your family members and avoid being bullied too badly. Just as for a long time in the Ming Dynasty, almost all officials were monopolized by southerners. It is precisely because most of the courts were southerners that they would treat their family members with special preferences. If a person takes the position of a high-ranking official, he will not seek benefits for his hometown.
That will lead to someone else's backbone.
Qiao Mu doesn't have much to do now, so he can only do his best to do what he can to help improve the status of those Han officials.
After Qiao Mu's operation.
The situation in the court immediately became nervous.
However, the overall situation of the country, especially the living atmosphere of the Han people in the world, has improved a lot, and is no longer as depressed as before. The bannermen who have nothing to do are also well restrained.
The number of bullying and dominating the market has been much smaller.
As for the changes, Qiaomu is powerless for the time being. After all, the people in charge of the army in the court are basically Manchu ministers, and the current Eight Banners children are far less trash than the late Qing Dynasty. The overall quality is pretty good, so Qiaomu can only ease the conflicts with each other a little at most, and no matter how many she has, she cannot do it.
In August of the third year of Kangxi, Qiao Mu issued another special order to re-sent a Manchu prince who robbed a daughter of the people. The four ministers of the regent could not bear it anymore and submitted a memorial to see Qiao Mu.
At the same time, he also brought the banner owners of each flag.
I want to go to the Ci'an Palace to meet Qiao Mu.
Ask for an explanation.
Qiao Mu was completely expected of their arrival, so he did not deliberately avoid it, but directly agreed to their request.
And they were all taken to the Ci'an Palace.
They were formally summoned.
As soon as they came in, they gave a perfunctory manner, and then they all stood up and bowed, and said loudly:
Empress Dowager, what do you want to do?
Colun just forcibly robbed a Han people girl. Why are you so angry? Not only did you deprive him of his title, but you were exiled to Ningguta.
But he is just a Han person.
Even if you want to please the Han minister, you must not do this. You are against my Eight Banners!
Sony is of great age, and he is the leader of the four auxiliary ministers appointed by the late emperor, so he naturally stood up first and questioned passionately.
Others then echoed.
The few flag owners next to them are even more the same.
Especially the exiled owner of the Yellow Banner Banner where Columbia was located was particularly angry.
I think Qiaomu is targeting them.
The voices of echoing were a little louder than the others.
If you break the law, you will naturally have to be convicted.
You must have heard of the saying that the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If you want to live in harmony with the Han people and continue to rule them, you must learn to treat them equally. Otherwise, the Yuan and Meng are the precedents, and the Mongol Empire will collapse the same way, let alone now?
What you are angry about is that the bannermen should have privileges. Why, do you still want to restore the racial hierarchy of Yuanmeng?
The corruption of the law is the first to break the law from the person who made the law. Don’t think that a small matter is nothing. The reason why a thousand-mile dike collapses in an ant hole. I think you shouldn’t know, so what else to ask?
Since Qiao Mu let them in and let them speak, it is naturally impossible for him to be unprepared.
Empress Dowager, don’t forget that the Manchu and Mongolian tribes are the foundation of the rule. Those Han people are just corrupt. Who would dare to rebel because of a civilian woman? You are too fussy?
Do you know that your behavior has made many bannermen very dissatisfied. Even if you are the Empress Dowager, you will not be able to tolerate you so presumptuous. After all, this world is my Jurchen world, not your Mongolian world. Please take back your life and don’t miss your life.
After all, Sony and his generation were all the ones who conquered the world. The influence of the Han culture itself was far inferior to Fulin, and they did not know much about some history. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for Qiao Mu to give up just a few words, but instead became even more excited and threatened.
It's almost like I'm threatening with a knife.
Are you threatening me?
Could it be that you still want to force the palace?
Qiaomu still sat calmly on the seat of the Ci'an Palace, raised his hand and pointed down to question.
Sony and the other three regents took two steps forward again, then looked at each other, and then Sony continued:
The Empress Dowager, it’s not that we are going to force the palace.
It is you who are forcing all the bannermen.
Do you believe it or not? If you don’t take back your life today, then there will be an uproar in the Yellow Flag tomorrow. You may not know what the mutiny is. We can’t control it. If the army rushes into the capital and the imperial palace.
I can't afford to take care of you or I.
This is obviously a threat. No mutiny will be said before a mutiny occurs.
However, the reason why Sony has the confidence to say this is obviously because Qiao Mu's previous actions have indeed touched the interests of many bannermen, which has led to some banner owners of the Eight Banners beginning to support Sony and the others, hoping to eliminate those constraints.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty's imperial power was not particularly concentrated, and the emperor was just a little emperor, so it was normal for the Eight Banners to be relatively arrogant. After all, they were all equivalent to being able to directly control the owners of all the bannermen of different families under their banner.
Such a status is almost comparable to that of the real power princes of other dynasties. With their support, it is normal for these four ministers to have the confidence to talk back to Qiaomu and even threaten Qiaomu.
The imperial edict of this palace will not change.
As for mutiny, if anyone has the courage, then mutiny will be seen. Do you really think that the Ai family has been resting for two years and is just a carefree grandchildren? Those who are tactful will honestly restrain the bannermen in their hands. Those who are not tactful are tactful. I think you should not want to see what that ends.
You said yes? Lord Sony!
Qiao Mu recently found a new use of the golden finger she had chosen, so even if she didn't have any military power in her hand, she was still very confident. She immediately stood up and walked up to them with a sneer, and said bluntly.
Chapter completed!
