Chapter 667 Fighting for New (Part 2)(1/2)
Chapter 667: Fighting for New (Part 2)
Rehe Palace, Sizhi Bookstore.
Kangxi sat on the kang. In front of him, in addition to Grand Secretary Song Zhu and Minister of Rites Cao Yin, there were also Zhang Tingyu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the censor who impeached Cao Yin.
From the opening of the censor's words, Zhang Tingyu knew it was going to be bad.
Speaking of which, the two were still the same year. If Zhang Tingyu couldn't guarantee that they could still remind him: Who dares to say more in front of the imperial court?
Kangxi asked Cao Yin, but Cao Yin only said it was miscellaneous grains. The censor did not give up and suggested that the assistant minister of the Ministry of War who had eaten was a witness.
The Minister of War had an errand and was not at the palace, otherwise he would have really come to the "confrontation in the court".
Just as the Sixteenth Prince reported to Kangxi about something, Kangxi asked him to go to Cao's house to get food.
When the sixteenth prince opened the food box and placed the plate of black steamed buns and pickles on the kang table, Cao Yin and Zhang Tingyu both sighed in their hearts.
Cao Yin did not want to make a big deal.
Qian'er negligently pulled down a food box in the kitchen, which made him chew a bun of steamed buns. When he got home, he knew that his son made it to educate his grandchildren, and he agreed.
This is a family matter, but it is involved in the yamen and makes people uncomfortable.
If people misunderstand, it is inevitable that they will be suspected of being famous.
Zhang Tingyu knew that he would not be able to get the same year. Even if he kept the black sage, the impression of showing off in front of the emperor was to be left behind.
Even if the censor has the power to report the news, he must follow the advice of the superior. Otherwise, like this adult, he would think that Cao Yin was not showing off any water and was not exposed, so he would think that he would squeeze a soft persimmon, and he would be afraid that he would steal the chicken and lose the rice.
"It is better to be silent than to be silent," Zhang Tingyu warned himself. Although he is currently lying about the lack of attending a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, he has been working in the Nanshu Room for many years and is by the emperor's side, he is doing the responsibilities of a bachelor's degree in the cabinet.
"That's it?" Kangxi pointed to the steamed bun and asked the censor.
Seeing that the censor was so serious, he was a little unsure, but he didn't dare to change his words, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "If you go back to the emperor, it looks the same as the previous one. If it is specific, you have to ask Lord Cao."
Kangxi snorted coldly and asked Cao Yin, "Cao Yin, this is the 'luxury thing' you ate the day before yesterday?"
Cao Yin looked up at the steamed bun and would not admit his mistake. He ate such a steamed bun the day before yesterday, but yesterday he didn't get a big deal out of his hand for a day, and his stomach was full for a long time.
"If you go back to the emperor, the one I ate the day before yesterday was this thing. It was just steamed buns made of coarse grains. Lord Jin had never seen it before, so he had this misunderstanding." Cao Yin said.
Kangxi glanced at the sixteenth prince and said, "What did Cao Yong say? Is it so difficult to make a living and use this as my father's ration? Who is this for?" At the end of his speech, he was already a little angry.
After hearing this, the sixteenth prince knew that his emperor, Ahma, had to be more attentive, so he hurriedly told Cao Yong to train his son that the reason for making this "remembering bitterness and thinking of sweetness" steamed bun was told.
The censor named Jin was already covered in gray face.
Although Cao Yin knew the reason, he still felt a little proud after listening to the story of the Sixteenth Prince. His son was sensible and he would not be able to spoil the playboys after this.
After hearing this, Kangxi could not see any joy or anger on his face. When he looked at the censor again, his eyes had already become a little sharper.
The impeachment matter has come to an end.
As for the censor who impeached Cao Yin, it cannot be said that he was a false accusation, and Kangxi was too lazy to attack him on the spot.
Wei Zhu came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the princes and civil and military officials have come here under the order and are waiting for the emperor."
"Xuan!" Kangxi said in a deep voice.
After a while, I heard the rustling footsteps, and many princes and ministers came in one after another, lined up on the left and right, knelt all over the ground, and respectfully invited the Holy One.
Some people with sharp eyes saw the steamed buns and pickles on the kang table, and they also thought of everything.
Kangxi stood up, unable to hide his anger on his face. When talking about the rain praying for the capital, he said, "The ministers of the Ministry only know that they are seeking money and bribes at home, and they are just comfortable at home. They may not be able to come in person when asking for rain."
After talking about the ministers in the capital, Kangxi scolded Song Zhu again, starting from his reverence to Li Guang in everything, to his reverence to his marriage with Gali and his reverence to his second prince, the more he said he was guilty of becoming more and more serious.
Song Zhu had already kowtowed and apologized, but he hated the censor named Jin so much that he hated him.
Although the emperor was indeed irritable about Shaoyu in the capital, if it weren't for the boy Jin's impeachment scene in the early morning, how could it have caused the emperor to be so angry?
Kangxi scolded him at the end, and he was also a little angry and said, "I will kill him all, so I will kill him. Isn't Song Zhu even more than Suo'ertu? I cannot kill him? I will suppress his fear of the party of Yiyinglan Banner?"
Song Zhu was so scared that he heard the emperor compare himself with Soetu with Gali, and he couldn't even say anything begging for mercy.
Who are Soetu and Gali? One of them was beheaded and one of them was executed in prison; the other was ordered to commit suicide, and his first wife died with him, and his nephew was also beheaded and sent to his nephew.
Although he became a post-Scholar and took Li Guangdi as his horse leader in everything, he was because he was afraid of missing his errands. Who made Li Guangdi a tumbler in the officialdom and a famous favorite minister of the emperor?
This sentence not only scared the Grand Secretary Song's advice, but also made the Third Prince and several officials with the blue flag sweat.
What is the emperor afraid of? He is afraid that his ministers will form cliques and shake the court's principles.
What are the ministers afraid of? They are afraid of "party struggle" and are also afraid that the emperor will use "party struggle" as a reason to eliminate unsatisfactory ministers.
Throughout the dynasties, there are inevitably people who form cliques in places where there are people.
The rest are just records in the book, and I read them as stories. In the early years, the battle between Soetu and Mingzhu was heard and witnessed by many ministers.
Many ministers, who became famous for "forming cliques", ruined their future.
The third prince, as the prince and the prince, had to be conferred the title of Prince Heshuo, so he was not worried that he would lose his father's favor.
He was alert after hearing Kangxi's words.
The eldest prince and the deposed second prince are both inlaid with blue flags, which is really unlucky.
However, is it declared that after the eldest prince and the second prince had no hope of throne, his oldest prince was born to the destiny and could inherit the emperor's rule?
The third prince was worried and happy, and suddenly he thought that there were more than three princes in the blue flag, and there were fourteenth princes.
Thinking of the favored 14th Prince and his status in the palace with Concubine De, the third Prince couldn't help but feel a little wary.
Although the harem was nominally the Four Concubines in charge of the palace affairs, in fact, it was mainly Concubine Yi and Concubine De. Concubine Hui was the biological mother of the eldest prince and the adoptive mother of the eighth prince. Both sons were rejected by the emperor. Is there any better way for her as a concubine?
Although he was not inscribed in the cold palace, the people in the palace were the most powerful. Although he did not dare to break the rules, no one flattered or paid attention to them anymore.
Concubine Hui could only remain silent and stayed in her palace for vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name all day long.
Concubine Rong, the mother of the third prince, was the earliest person in the harem that Kangxi favored in the New Year palace. She was two years older than Kangxi. She gave birth to five sons and one daughter in a row. The first four princes died young, without any remarks, only the eldest daughter and the youngest son grew up, namely the third princess and the third prince siblings.
Kangxi's eldest son Chengrui was born by Concubine Rong.
The continuous pain of giving birth and losing a child caused Concubine Rong to suffer a lot of damage. In addition, she is in her sixties, and is old and mentally inadequate, and rarely interferes in palace affairs.
The remaining Concubine Yi and Concubine De do not have the name of the queen, but have the reality of the queen.
The 14th Prince is the youngest son of Concubine De, and has formed a clique with the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince. Since the Eighth Prince fell silent, the 14th Prince has already taken the opportunity to replace him.
Unlike the eighth prince who was humble from the background, the fourteenth prince and the third prince were all born by the four concubines. Except for the lack of feudal status, they are generally the same.
In addition, the 14th Prince was young and had been raising him in the palace for more years, so he was closer to the emperor's father than the third Prince.
The third prince had already made up his mind. It seemed that he should have brothers to help him; he should also keep an eye on the side of the Fourteenth family at any time and not let him take advantage of the loopholes.
They are all princes. The so-called favored or not is not because the 14th Prince and the 16th Prince are younger than the older Prince. When they were young, the prince's father was over fifty years old and had more kindness to their children.
Thinking of this, the third prince glanced at the sixteenth prince standing next to him.
Although his origin is not as good as the Fourteenth Prince, when it comes to please the emperor's father, the Sixteenth Prince is better.
If the Sixteenth Prince can be helped, even if we cannot compete with the Eighth Prince and others behind the Fourteenth Prince, we can still say a few more good things in front of the Emperor's Father...
The sixteenth prince looked at his nose, his nose, his mouth, and his heart was asked, and he was obedient. He listened to Kangxi's scolding of his ministers in his ears, but he thought in his heart that Cao Yong's "spoken way to train his son".
His concubine son Hongpu was four years old, and he was very naughty. He was making trouble with the prince all day long, and he was just right to discipline him.
I went back and gave the little guy a few days of steamed buns. I wonder if the little guy dared to be naughty?
In addition to the concubine Li who was pregnant, he just arrived in Rehe this time and was diagnosed with the sixteenth concubine. In short, the days when Li and Fujin were pregnant were not different from each other.
The Sixteenth Prince was also very conflicted. He was hoping that the concubine could give birth to a legitimate son and fulfilled the concubine's hope, but also afraid that the son would have made Hongpu's situation awkward and made the concubine Li sad.
If it were the others, they had ten sons and eight sons were not so embarrassed.
The Sixteenth Prince didn't know whether to sigh that he was passionate or scolded him for being too influenced by Cao Yong and being too soft-hearted. As a child of the Aisin Jueluo family, isn't his task to reproduce offspring?
Thinking of this, the Sixteenth Prince felt more self-deprecating, and his guilt towards Li was reduced a little.
There are a few people in this world who can do whatever they want, but they are involuntarily. Why bother to endure the hard work of the spirit and think hard? No matter how much you think, it is useless.
Whether it is a son or a daughter, or whether it is left to fate.
It is also impossible to expect that the concubine cannot give birth to a male child just because they take into account Li and Hongpu. This is so cruel to the concubine.
The Sixteenth Prince was thinking, and felt a little uncomfortable all over. He raised his head and happened to face the third Prince's gaze.
Seeing that the third prince's expression was full of closeness, the sixteenth prince was a little confused. He didn't know what new tricks he had made of. He always cleaned up the garden and invited the Shenggui to visit the garden. He was not tired of it every time the Sixteenth prince accompanied the Shenggui over there, he felt tired of it.
The "happy" "father-son family" that is deliberately made makes people feel fake and tired.
Just when the princes and ministers below were all ulterior motives, Kangxi had already spoken with gold and jade words and said, "There are no ones among the ministers of Manchu who can convince the Han ministers. I still used Ma Qi as the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall and the Minister of Revenue, and Mu Helun as the Minister of Revenue. I rushed to the post to the capital and asked who those who were praying for happiness and who were praying for rain. I strictly investigated the questions. If I still showed my affection, once I was aware of it, I would be punished. Chen Mingxia was the example of Yi Yi."
In the end, Kangxi had already looked straight and his eyes were stern, and his eyes were stern.
Songzhu was already scared and sweated in cold sweat, and received Kangxi's oral orders in fear.
The sixteenth prince was particularly careful when he heard that Ma Qi was reinstated. Because of this, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be vacant. Several general managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had many, and Ma Qi was still among the people who were willing to contribute.
If others leave, they may not be able to make up for it immediately; if Ma Qi says that there is either an official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be promoted or a person from outside to make up for it.
When Cao Yin heard Ma Qi, he thought of another thing.
The emperor was extremely disgusted with the Eighth Prince and was already at the point where his followers could not stand in the court. Otherwise, he would not have borrowed Yuzi, which made Kuixue and Aling Adu not "reported" illness.
