Chapter 277 (Catch Bugs)(2/2)
Du Lide entered the palace safely and temporarily lived back to the house where Shangshang Room originally belonged to him. Yinreng was a little worried about Du Gongjun's safety. The old teacher explained: "I am not at ease with Lord Yao, so I asked him to turn it back to protect Lord Yao."
Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief and always paid attention to the movements of the court's ban on opium. The court officials found that the prince, who was originally invasive, had changed. The prince, who was originally as gentle as a gentle breeze at the court meeting, showed his violent fangs. Whoever dared to stop the court from banning opium, and whoever was involved in the family would not escape the prince's hand.
Who said that the prince was kind and kind? He killed people without blinking!
The sons of the royal family of this dynasty smoked opium and became addicted to smoking in prison. The prince personally took him to the court and exposed his ugly behavior to the civil and military officials in the court. The addict was crazy and horrifying when he was sick. The court officials glanced at him and couldn't bear to look at him. The addict was roaring like a beast in his ear.
Who else dares to plead affection? Who dares to say something about opium?
In the capital, those who commit opium smoking, whether high-ranking officials or ordinary people, are arrested in prison and forced to recust the opium.
The fierceness of the prince also attracted criticism from scholars, but the emperor demoted all those who accused the prince.
A huge ban on crows was launched from the capital to the coast. Its decisive behavior was completely different from the speed of the implementation of past government orders.
All customs gates became key places for investigation, and the Netherlands, which invested opium in the Qing Dynasty and tried to make huge money, were condemned by the Qing Dynasty's letter, and they would never have thought of gaining the advantage of trading among Western countries for several years.
Yinzhen was a little worried about Yinreng's condition, fearing that he would be red in his eyes. This was the first time the crown prince did not go through Soetu's hands, but ordered Luanyiwei to kill people.
Some people will be judged by the law, while others will use their family status to escape the crime of selling opium.
Yinreng was not ruthless about this and set a strict order, "No matter how many, or whether he was forced. Once he was found to have sold and smuggled opium, he would be killed without mercy. Those who smoked opium will never be allowed to enter the court as a soldier after being imprisoned and warded on crows!"
Since the killing started, the prince's temperament has become different from before.
The originally gentle temperament brought sharp traces, like a sword that had been opened, and the fierce light was revealed when it was unsheathed.
He is also becoming more and more like the crown prince Yinreng in Yinzhi's impression.
The brothers were all worried about the prince, and since the ban on crows, the prince tightened his strings.
Yinzhen asked him: "Chen Tingjing has been transferred to the Ministry of Justice and is working very hard to ban opium and judge the case. Why do you dirty your hands? Instead, it will cause your reputation to be implicated."
Yinreng said unfairly: "The Gu originally had no good reputation in the court. People who are kind-hearted have different opinions. The court officials who like the Gu still like the Gu, and they still don't like the Gu. The Grand Tutors all agree with the Gu's thunder and decisive behavior in this matter, and Khan Ama did not persuade Gu to stop. What identity do you use to blame Gu?"
Seeing his expression indifferent, Yinzhen frowned slightly: "I'm not here to accuse you. Khan Ama said that we would persuade you. He said that you had a nightmare in the middle of the night and had not eaten for several days. Your attitude of banning smoking was shocked."
Yinreng raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Do you think you shouldn't ban it?"
What if opium spreads throughout the country? What if this thing was introduced into the Eight Banners Army? This thing is highly toxic, it will corrode the Qing Dynasty and cause the country to rot even its roots!
"Of course, of course, ban it." Not to mention Yinreng, Yinzhen himself ordered the ban on opium, and even issued two decrees: "Regulations on Punishing the Regulations on the Promotion of Opium Trafficking and Opening Tobacco Houses" and "Edict on the ban on the sale of opium and opening of tobacco houses"! (2)
However, during his reign, foreign trade was not as grand as it is now, and the harm of opium was curbed at that time.
Yinreng shook his head: "The lonely person blinded his eyes because of the violent profits from abroad, which almost led to a big mistake and neglected to prevent it. The important matters of the country must not be made in any way. This is a profound lesson for the lonely person."
"Khan Ama did not stop the orphan, which shows that he supported the orphan in his heart. He also hoped to see the orphan grow up because of the incident," Yinreng said coldly: "The orphan is to make up for his past mistakes and prevent the Qing Dynasty from being damaged by greater damage. From this incident, we must take this as a warning, set up severe punishments and severe laws to prevent its reappearance with harsh laws."
All the power of the prince in the court was used to ban opium. He was telling the people of the world through actions: the people who sell opium and circulate it cannot be forgiven, but only to apologize for death and let them go and repent to the King of Hell!
This ban on crows has been going on for several months, which directly affected the New Year, and the entire New Year Festival was spent in blood.
Outside the Meridian Gate, those who sell opium were bleeding into a river, and they were all killed for treason.
The people were panicked when the wind and thunder in the capital were changed. The Propaganda Department documents followed and informed the whole country to calm the people's hearts.
The harm of opium destroys people's minds, destroys people's families and their lives. This sin is known to everyone in the whole country, making it known to everyone from eighty to three-year-old children in the country that this ban cannot be touched, and if the family is destroyed, the family will be destroyed!
The capital was surrounded by blood in the darkness, and the whole winter was very depressed. Until the spring approached, the war in the west came with great success. Yao Qisheng, who was full of joy, came to Beijing to report his duties and personally thanked the prince for his support for his opium ban. This violent storm finally ushered in the rain and clear sky...
The author has something to say: Tuantuangu has tried his best, and has really been withered, and there is no drop!
Note (1): Taken from Baidu information, this part must be written, hereby comment. The following is the original text during the Three Kingdoms period, the famous doctor Hua Tuo used marijuana and opium as anesthetics; in the second year of Qianfeng in the Tang Dynasty (667 AD), there was a record of the import of opium. Arab opium in the Tang Dynasty was called "Afurong"; in the "Kaibao Bencao" printed in the Northern Song Dynasty in 973 AD, opium was named poppy millet, and the latter "million" was used as capsule.
About 1600, the Dutch introduced North American Indian pipes and tobacco leaves to China through Taiwan. Smokers began to appear in China. The widespread extent scared the Chinese rulers. Emperor Chongzhen ordered a ban on smoking. Because some people once mixed opium into tobacco tobacco to smoke, unexpectedly, the ban on tobacco caused the proliferation of pure opium smoking.
Note (2): Emperor Yongzheng issued an imperial edict in 1729, banning such drugs: "The opium smokers who sell opium smokers... were shackled for one month and sent them to the border to be exiled; they opened opium tobacco restaurants to lure good families, and according to the rules of the cult, they planned to be jailed." However, because China has very little opium planting, it was not a serious social problem until the end of Yongzheng that China only imported 300 boxes of opium every year.
In the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, Emperor Yongzheng promulgated the "Regulations on Punishing Opium Trafficking and Opening Tobacco Houses" and the "Edict on the Ban on the Sale of Opium and Opening Tobacco Houses". This is considered to be the first ban on opium in the world.
