Chapter 425: Wealth (Part 1)
Chapter 425: The Wealth Scarce (Part 1)
It took two days before Cao Yong heard that Kangxi was angry that day, and it was indeed because of Tibet.
This is a bit long to put it bluntly, the Latina Khan, who now ruled Tibet, was a bit unstable. He was threatened by the Mongolian Taijice Wangabutan forces of the Junggar tribe. He submitted a memorandum to Kangxi to seek support from the central government. At the same time, he wrote a letter to send his second son back to Qinghai, hoping that his cousins would compete for the territory of great-grandfather Gu Shihan in Qinghai.
The full name of this Lazang Khan is Lazang Rubal. He is the fourth generation of Khan of the Heshuot Khanate in Qinghai. He ruled Tibet for more than ten years after his great-grandfather Gushi Khan, grandfather Dayan Khan, and father Dalai Khan.
He was originally the second son of the Dalai Khan, and he did not have the right to inherit the throne. In the 40th year of Kangxi, after the death of his father, the old Khan, the throne of the Khan, his brother Wangzal ascended the throne. In the 42nd year of Kangxi, he poisoned his brother to death, stole the throne of the Khan, and became the king of Tibet.
After Lazang Khan ascended the throne, he began a war of power seizing in Tibet.
At that time, in addition to the Tibetan king and religious leader Dalai Lama who ruled over military and political power, the people in power also had the "Diba" who was in charge of administrative affairs in Tibet.
Since Gushi Khan ascended the throne of Tibet, the Diba regime was also established at the same time. After all, in the eyes of Tibetans, they were always prepared for the Mongols and were more willing to accept the leadership of their own people.
Diba is usually served as the confidant general manager around the Dalai Lama. He assists the Dalai Lama in handling administrative affairs on weekdays, and sometimes acts as the Dalai Lama's agent.
When Razang Khan ascended the throne, Sangjie Gyatso, who served as the fifth Diba, had been in office for more than 20 years and was in great power.
After the passing of the fifth Dalai Lama, Sang Jie Gyatso followed his will and carried out a secret mourning, secretly found the reincarnated spirit child, and secretly placed it. It was not until more than ten years later that his identity as a living Buddha was revealed, the sixth Dalai Lama Tsang Yang Gyatso.
After a lot of competition, Razang Khan won all the victory and led his troops into Lhasa, captured and killed Sangjie Gyatso, abolished Tsangyang Gyatso, and made Isigatso the Dalai Lama VI.
In order to stabilize Tibet, Kangxi conferred Lazang Khan as "Yijiao Gongshu Khan".
Tibet was originally a regime that integrates politics and religion. Lazang Khan captured and killed Sang Jie Gyatso and received support from many people. After all, Sang Jie Gyatso's power for more than 20 years has also attracted the jealousy of many Mongolian and Tibetan nobles. However, the abolition of Tsang Yang Gyatso, who had been in bed for several years, and the establishment of another living Buddha has aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.
There are also rumors that the successor Dalai Isigato was the illegitimate son of Razang Khan. Everyone did not recognize his identity at all. Tibetan monks and laymen do not recognize Isigato as the reincarnated spiritual child of the fifth Dalai Lama.
In their hearts, Tsangyang Gyatso, who died of illness by the Qinghai Lake several years ago, was the real Living Buddha of the Sixth Dalai Lama. Therefore, many religious people united to find the reincarnation of Tsangyang Gyatso, the reincarnated spirit boy of Tsangyang Gyatso among the people. They wanted to support the Seventh Dalai Lama, and they had been writing to the court to welcome him back to Tibet.
Lazang Khan felt that the situation in Tibet was unstable. In order to stabilize his strength, he married the powerful neighboring Junggar tribe, and on the other hand, he sent his second son back to Qinghai.
In order to connect Razang Khan, the Junggar tribe Taijicewang Alabutan made an excuse to love his son-in-law and left the eldest son whom Razang Khan married to Zhungar there, and he did not return for several years.
The second son sent by Lazang Khan to Qinghai was also unjustified and did not receive recognition from his uncles and uncles.
Although Lazang Khan also lived in Qinghai in his early years and did have a territory of residence in Qinghai, because the area of rule by their grandparents and grandchildren was Tibet, they were always excluded from Qinghai in the hearts of Zhu Taiji in Qinghai.
Lazang Khan was uneasy in Lhasa and lost his lair. In fact, he had to write to the court to seek shelter and support.
The northwestern border was only more than ten years old, and Kangxi did not want any war to be caused by Lazang Khan's greed. Although Kangxi was also very angry at Gertaijice Wangabutan's arrogance, he had no intention of intervening.
He just issued an order, mentioning that Lazang Khan was "nearly sixty years old, so he should do his own tricks" and ordered his son stationed in Qinghai to return to Lhasa, so as not to have no one around Lazang Khan, "will not be alone and dangerous?" At the same time, he praised Lazang Khan happily, saying that his true heart "not only did I know it, but everyone everywhere knew it."
The sixteenth prince finished talking endlessly, but he was a little thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Cao Yong was listening, but his expression was a little strange.
It was a battle between the Mongolians and the Mongolians. There was nothing wrong with fighting between Mongolian tribes. If they were as close as a family, then those who couldn't sleep would be afraid that Kangxi would be.
Even when appeaseing the Mongolian tribes, the Qing court purposefully redefines the pastures to suppress the powerful and support the weak, causing small conflicts within Mongolia to continue.
But how could the "reincarnation of Tsangyang Gyatso" make people feel so awkward?
Is this reincarnation a saying in Tibetan Buddhism that people will descend to this world through reincarnation when they die.
But is Tsangyang Gyatso dead? So who is preaching in Alxa, Mongolia now?
Regardless of whether the second sixth Dalai Isigatso, who was sitting on the bed in the Potala Palace, is a real spiritual child, the identity of this "reincarnated spiritual child of Tsangyang Gyatso" may not be as real as Tibet recognized.
But no matter who wins and loses the battle between La Zang Khan and the Tibetan political and religious power in the end, Tsangyang Gyatso will not be able to "resurrect" again. What people need is not a middle-aged lama who has experienced ups and downs, but a young child who has "taken care of" as a child.
The sixteenth prince put down the teacup, was a little curious, and asked, "By the way, why did you think of asking this? You are not a military post and are not in the Ministry of War. What should you do to care about the situation in the northwest?"
Cao Yong pointed to the leave note that was not submitted on the desk and said, "I wanted to send a note the day before yesterday. I happened to meet the Lord from Lifanyuan who came over to see him, so I asked these questions. Look at this point, is it really going to be in chaos in the northwest?"
The sixteenth prince said: "Who knows? The Mongolians in the northwest are the most fierce. Now, they have been quiet for more than ten years. I can't guarantee that they will make trouble. Although the Ministry of Revenue has been chasing the deficit over the years, the national treasury is empty, and it will be difficult to move if it really moves."
After saying that, he laughed, shook his head, and said, "Look, I am attracted by you. I am worried about the country and the people. Why is this? The emperor and my brothers are above me, and I am my gentle prince."
When he heard that Cao Yong was thinking about asking for leave, he said to Cao Yong: "If you want to ask for a leave, let's take a look in two days. The emperor is not only worried about the northwest, but also for some other troubles. He will wait until he calms down and he will not be involved in vain."
Cao Yong nodded and said, "I know, the time is not yet available, and it is not too late for the rest of the world."
Staying in the house is boring. The sixteenth prince looked outside the sky. The weather was sunny and said with a smile: "Everyone is about to grow hair when staying in the house. Let's go out and exercise their muscles..."
After speaking, I heard footsteps outside the door, and someone said, "Is Mr. Cao here? Can our master be there?"
However, it was Zhao Feng's movement. The sixteenth prince laughed and scolded: "This monkey boy knows that he has come out to find someone, so why don't you get in for me quickly."
Although Zhao Feng didn't come in, his face was not good. He was a little anxious and hurriedly called Cao Yong to see him. Then he said to the sixteenth prince: "Master, it's not good. Tao Jinxiao and Cao Degui were detained by the lords from the guard office!"
These two of them are eunuchs in charge of the Sixteenth Prince, who have been with him for many years.
When the sixteenth prince heard this, he stood up and his face looked a little ugly. No matter whether this slave listened to him or not, he was the person around him after all, and if something happened, he would not look good on his face.
"Who is the master of the Guard Department? Is there an imperial edict?" The sixteenth prince thought for a while and asked.
Zhao Feng nodded and said, "Yes, the people under Hou Bahunde, the minister of the guard, said it was the oral order of Emperor Long Sui, and arrested Tao Jinxiao and Cao Degui, and the charge was blackmail."
Zhao Feng said in a breath of beans. Cao Yong was listening. He remembered something. He hung an official in the back mountain two days ago and hanged himself. He heard rumors that the official was a regular customer in the casino. He might have owed gambling money and was unable to repay it, so he hung him.
Of course, Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince were still afraid of taking out the eunuchs beside the Sixteenth Prince. As a result, the case was investigated, but there was no movement at all, so the case was closed in a hurry.
Is the detention today related to the blackmail that day? The Sixteenth Prince looked at Cao Yong and he was a little confused.
Then Zhao Feng said again: "I am afraid that I will not understand, so I made a special trip with the two guards who took the people. It seems that they have something to do with the case."
"Galli? Why did you get involved in his house again?" The sixteenth prince was confused and turned to Cao Yong and said, "Furuo, I want to go back and have a look. We will go out for a walk tomorrow if I have time!"
Cao Yong nodded and sent the Sixteenth Prince out of the house, feeling unreasonable. Before the Holy Lord left the capital, Gali's case was already over. How could he still involve the eunuchs around the Sixteenth Prince?
*
When the Sixteenth Prince returned to his residence, there was an eunuch waiting by his side. When he saw the Sixteenth Prince, he hurried forward and said, "Sixteenth Prince, come with me quickly, Long live the emperor, wait!"
The Sixteenth Prince was heartbroken. Could it be that Tao Guoxiao and the others had also received money from Gali? Why did Emperor Ama remember to liquidate this now?
When he arrived at Nanmu Hall, the sixteenth prince realized that the emperor's father had not only passed on him, but also the third prince and the fifteenth prince.
Nanmu Hall is the "Danbo Jingcheng Hall". The halls and pavilions here are all built with high-quality golden nanmu, so everyone also calls this one the Nanmu Hall.
Kangxi sat behind the desk, and the third prince and the fifteenth prince stood in front of the emperor with their hands hanging down, with fear on their faces.
Seeing that the Sixteenth Prince arrived, Kangxi glanced at him and snorted coldly.
The sixteenth prince stood beside the fifteenth prince, but he felt a little convinced, afraid that the fact that the dog slaves blackmailed officials was exposed, but he didn't know why they had something to do with Gali.
Seeing that the Sixteenth Prince was suspicious, Kangxi threw a note in front of the desk into his arms and said, "Are you still confused? Take a look at it yourself! I have said that eunuchs and others should not pretend to be authoritarian and kill them as soon as they occur, so that they dare not be lucky. You can even be so rampant even if your slaves are so rampant!" Speaking of it, his face was a little deeper, and said, "You are the princes and princesses. If you don't want the face of the heavenly family, why are you so indulging in this way? Is it because you are greedy for blackmail?"
The Sixteenth Prince was confused and opened the note and read it, but it was a note sent by the Censorate.
The former Minister of Revenue Xifuna kowtowed his family and his elders and others, together with the villains Sangge, Zunzhu, Zhao Liu, Mingtu, Tubahai, and the sons of Shounai, the former deputy chief censor, Changyou, Yadaidalbu, Seventy Elu, eunuchs Li Jinzhong, Deng Zhen, Yang Maosheng, Tao Guotai, Wang Guozhu, Cao Guide, Tao Jinxiao, Su Guoyong and others forcibly released the money for the monks.
The Sixteenth Prince looked at the row of names and couldn't help but widen his eyes. They all looked familiar.
Mingtu, Tubahai is the manager of the Third Prince's Mansion, needless to say this; Chang You, the son of the former left deputy censor Shou Nai, was the disciple of the Ninth Prince, and the eunuch Li Jinzhong is also his; eunuch Deng Zhen and Yang Maosheng are the eunuch in the tenth Prince's Mansion; Yadaidalbu and seventy-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seventh-seven
The Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but feel a little numb, it was all caused by money. But even if these slaves are greedy for money, they cannot be blackmailed by one person!
He could not blame Xifuna, a dismissed minister, for dared to sue these princes' slaves.
