Chapter 172 Will the truth hurt people (5)

It is said that Yongzheng left hidden diseases because he was sick when he was young and was afraid of heat. Since the third year of Yongzheng, he has basically lived in the Old Summer Palace. It was already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the Old Summer Palace was even cooler. After Prince Yi finished reading the new manifesto written by Huo Chong, there was a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.

Huo Chong had already written a manifesto when he was rebelling. Prince Yi had read that article, but he still read it carefully. Overall, this manifesto had an inherent disapproval. Prince Yi felt that it was necessary to write a manifesto when he rebelled, and Huo Chong would probably be too lazy to write this article.

However, the manifesto I saw this time was still calm and composed, with no gorgeous words, and the whole text showed a feeling of indifference. Prince Ke Yi only felt his heart beating. For him, the prince who participated in the fight for the throne of the Kowloon, this manifesto was too terrible!

After putting down the manifesto, the eunuchs carefully wiped the ink marks on the gold bricks. The surface of the gold bricks was extremely smooth and dense, and even if the high-quality ink with excellent infection was removed, it could be wiped off.

But Prince Yi was a little dazed for a moment. What methods did the things mentioned in this manifesto be completely wiped out?

"Thirteenth brother. What do you think?" Yongzheng was no longer angry at this time. He sat quietly on the chair, but his voice felt a little weak.

Seeing Yongzheng like this, Prince Yi felt sad and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, offer a reward in Shandong. If you can kill Huo Chong's head, the court will be generous with high officials and generous salaries! You must make Huo Chong, a dog thief, unable to sleep or eat!"

"Haha." Yongzheng suddenly smiled weakly, "What kind of reward do you think is worthy of Huo Chong's credit?"

"The sixth grade is actually short of money. The reward is 2,000 taels." Prince Yi casually gave the price. When he said that, Prince Yi could not really focus on this matter. The reason for saying this is that Prince Yi felt a little restless when he was sleeping and eating.

Huo Chong's manifesto did not scold Yongzheng, but instead wrote Aisin Gioro Xuanye (Kangxi) and Aisin Gioro Yinzhen (Yongzheng) at the beginning with taboo words. This disrespect made Prince Yi furious.

Just calling the emperor directly is enough to kill the nine clans, let alone indicate it in brackets. But Huo Chong certainly doesn't care about such an extra charge.

After being disrespectful, Huo Chong hid the matters within the royal family. He said, "Xuanye (Kangxi) is a barbarian, and he still thinks about things. Xuanye (Kangxi) is worried that the prince will rebel, so he adopts the idea of ​​the nobles in governing the Tartars and uses the art of decentralization to restrain the crown prince Yinreng. Although Yinreng had no intention of rebelling, with the tradition of Tartars, as long as the power is turned to the crown prince, even if the prince did not think about rebelling, he was suspected of rebelling...'

The entire manifesto revolves around the story of the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne. First, it mocked Kangxi's Tartar nature and made him obsessed with power, leading to various blows to the prince. It also mocked Kangxi's Tartar nature and made him depose the prince on a whim. Only after he deposed the prince did he realize that he was still politically the Tartar style and was immature. He could only restore the prince.

Later, Kangxi considered the prince, but he personally destroyed the prince's prestige and father-son relationship. Choosing the prince was a farce of Kangxi fart and slapping off the ugly. The straight-hearted Lao Ba believed it, which forced Kangxi to deal with Lao Ba to death. But he had to admit that the matter was beyond Kangxi's imagination.

After deposed the prince for the second time, Kangxi actually wanted to give the prince a chance, at least a chance for the prince's son. However, because he was careless in his later years, he talked with Fang Bao about how to establish the prince. Fang Bao didn't think much about it, and said "Look at the saint grandson" in front of the young princes and grandsons.

This was heard by Yongzheng's son Hongli and went home to tell Yongzheng. Yongzheng, who had been trying to seize the throne for a long time, knew that his father Kangxi had completely ignored Yongzheng, so he could only contact his uncle Longkodo and began to plan to kill Kangxi.

Kangxi was in good health back then, but Hongxi, the son of the deposed crown prince, had always been raised by Kangxi and loved him deeply. At this time, Hongxi was already an adult, but the deposed crown prince Yinreng was terminally ill and was about to die. As long as Yinreng died in another two or three years, Hongxi would be in his twenties. Naturally, he could pass on the saint grandson.

At that time, Yongzheng was almost fifty years old, so how could he be compared with Hongxi, who was young and powerful?

The reaction of Yongzheng's mother after Kangxi's death can also prove this...

Finally, Huo Chong came to a conclusion. The battle between Yongzheng and the Fourteenth Old Man was completely unreliable, such as "the Fourteenth Son was changed to the Fourteenth Son". However, all the situations pointed to a situation. Perhaps because of his sense of responsibility for the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng believed that only he could change the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he colluded with his uncle Longkodoya and died of Kangxi.

Yongzheng's current approach is entirely his sense of mission and his unforgettable love for the Qing Dynasty.

However, the captives have no national fortune for a hundred years. Yongzheng's efforts to murder his father and take power are destined to fail. Huo Chong advised Yongzheng to die and not struggle. From sleeping to death, he would not feel pain. It is better to wash and sleep. Or to save some energy, he would not have to wash and sleep directly. Anyway, what Yongzheng had to face was a destined future.

“…Isn’t it too little?”

In a frightened state, Prince Yi heard a little behind Yongzheng. He quickly withdrew his thoughts. Prince Yi replied: "Your Majesty, I am a little distracted. Please tell me again."

"I mean, the sixth rank is actually in short supply. The reward of 2,000 taels is a little small? After all, some people's rebellion is no less than Huo Chong, but they are in the court's position as officials and eat the court's salary! It's better to take away the positions of these people and use them to reward those who can kill Huo Chong. Haha. Do you think so?"

Yongzheng sneered at the beginning, but at the end he was gritting his teeth. The resentment made Prince Yi shiver a few times. However, this resentment was not surprising. Prince Yi also suspected that there must be someone in the officials who colluded with Huo Chong. Otherwise, how could Huo Chong know so many royal secrets?

Before Prince Yi could express his opinion, Yongzheng had already made a decision, "regardless of whether it is the Ba Zi or not, start with him!"

Looking at the almost ferocious appearance of the fourth brother, Prince Yi wanted to say something, her lips moved slightly, and in the end she said nothing.

On the eighth day of the ninth month of the fourth year of Yongzheng, which was the day before the Double Ninth Festival. Yongzheng decree: "I will go and surrender my decree to Yinsi's wife, remove my concubine and drive me back to my home. I will give my decree to my family and others, and live in several houses and guard them strictly. They should not be allowed to communicate with each other. If there is any information about spreading each other's faith, the person who communicates will be corrected, and no one who communicates with them will be forgiven. After you come back, you will surrender this decree to Yinsi. If you change your worries and serve me in a decent manner, I will have some gratitude. If you expel your wife, you will be resentful and deliberately refuse to walk, your wife will be executed, and your son will be punished with a serious crime."

The emperor ordered the Zongren Mansion to take action immediately. After several years of constant blows, all the members of the Eighth Master Party formed based on interest relations were killed by Yongzheng, and officials close to Lao Ba were also attacked by Yongzheng. No one dared to get close to Lao Ba. At this time, the emperor clearly wanted to give Lao Ba a fatal blow, and the Zongren Mansion was completely ordered to do things, and there was not even anyone who sent a message to Lao Ba in advance.

After kneeling down and listening to the order, the eighth couple's face turned pale. What surprised the eunuch who sent the order was a little surprised was that the eighth couple looked just angry and sad, neither frightened nor despaired. The couple even kowtowed and thanked him in a manner, and completed the process of sending the order.

Although the eighth-Yinsi, the eighth-Yinsi, was already recognized as a dead tiger at this time, he did not have any enemies to die. If so, the one who was sitting high above the throne and had no chance to come to kill the eighth-Yin himself. Although the eunuch guards who came to handle the work this time and the people from the clan's mansion were vigilant, they did not move.

The leader said politely: "Prince, that woman is no longer your concubine. So please don't be a slap in the slave and let the slave take this woman away."

But the concubine of Lao Ba's wife was pale and pulled out a dagger from Lao Ba's waist. The people in the sect's mansion were shocked. Many people drew their swords and pulled their swords as if they were facing a great enemy. Some people were already carrying the guy and were about to rush forward.

But Prince Lian roared angrily, "Are you going to rebel? I am still the prince now. If you take another step forward, I will kill you dog slaves!"

The Manchus won the world with martial arts, and the princes of the Qing Dynasty had strict training on riding firearms. At this time, Lao Ba was really angry and full of murderous aura. He was so scared that those who came to the sect's mansion to report the orders unconsciously took a few steps back.

But Lao Ba's concubine raised her dagger and cut off a large strand of hair. She reached out and grabbed Lao Ba's jade pendant and cut off the silk rope on it. With a clang, the dagger was thrown to the ground. The clan mansion and the person who sent the order breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting the jade pendant into his arms, Lao Ba's concubine took Lao Ba's hand, stuffed the strand of hair into Lao Ba's palm, and then closed Lao Ba's palm, allowing him to hold the strand of hair firmly.

Although I had known that this day would come, the eighth concubine's concubine bowed down with tears in her eyes, "Prince, I can no longer serve the prince. After I leave, I will ask the prince to take care of her health. I will never marry again after I go home. The prince will still be my prince. There will never be any change."

Lao Ba wanted to pull his wife up, but at this time he was both weak and unstable. His wife could not pull her up, but instead fell to the ground. Lao Ba did not stand up, knelt on the ground and hugged his wife tightly in his arms, and said heart-wrenchingly: "You and I are husband and wife in this life, and we will be husband and wife in our lives. We will live forever and never deviate from it."

Seeing that the couple hugged each other tightly, although they were crying, they were not afraid of death, nor were they blamed each other. They were just sad for being separated. The people who came to the clan's mansion and the people who came to pass the orders also put away their weapons. Some of them were soft-hearted and couldn't help but turn their heads and raise the back of their hands.

However, the clan mansion is just a slave to the emperor. Prince Lian is already a recognized dead tiger, and he cannot trap himself in for this dead tiger. The leader stepped forward and said, "Prince, since this woman is no longer a concubine, she cannot stay in the prince's mansion anymore. Please ask us to take her to get her clothes and go back to her parents' house."

Prince Lian wanted to get up to stop him, but his arm was tightly held by the concubine, "Prince, I would have known that this day would be separated. The prince's daughter's body, don't let these slaves laugh at the prince's joke. I did nothing wrong, but when I got into trouble with them, it would be like we were in a bad mood."

As he said that, the concubine stood up and pulled Lao Ba up with difficulty. She helped Lao Ba tidy up her clothes and flipped off the soil stuck on her body. She tidied up for herself again. The concubine of the concubine saluted Lao Ba again. Then she turned around and walked towards the gate. She said as she walked, "You have already prepared a carriage and horse when you want to come?"

"Repay for blessing..." The clan mansion stopped his wrong name and almost choked. He took a breath and then said, "I've got off the car and horse. We can wait for you to get your clothes."

"No. When I get home, there will naturally be someone to prepare. You don't have to worry."

As he spoke, Lao Ba's concubine had already walked out of Prince Lian's mansion with those from the clan's mansion.

Seeing his wife's back disappearing outside the door, Lao Ba felt his heart tugged. He lowered his head and saw that his dagger was on the ground not far away. Lao Ba just wanted to pick up the dagger and poke it into his chest. However, he still held it back.

Yes, this day has finally come. If it were the past, Lao Ba could only wait for death and let Yongzheng slowly repair him. But today is different. Lao Ba has found a tool to retaliate against Yongzheng.

The news that Huo Chong annihilated 20,000 official troops outside Jinan City has reached Lao Ba, and Huo Chong did not disappoint Lao Ba. Yongzheng has launched the last attack on Lao Ba, and Lao Ba must do the last thing before being banned.

There were no people in the court who did not agree with Yongzheng, and there were still a large number of them. There were still a few of them who secretly contacted Lao Ba, and what prompted them to do this was not high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but they could never accept Yongzheng's belief that he was tyrannical and rebellious.

In fact, Lao Ba did not dare to believe them completely, but it was not long since Yongzheng issued the order to ban the circle, and the information exchanges he had finally established with Huo Chong could not be broken. Even if Lao Ba was killed by Yongzheng, as long as this line was not broken, Huo Chong could kill the soldiers and horses that Yongzheng sent to wipe out, and constantly avenge Lao Ba.

There is not much time left for Lao Ba.

The order for the forced divorce of the eighth wife was not announced in the court, but was carried out by the clan's house. This belongs to the emperor's house. The ministers who know how to protect themselves naturally would not inquire, so they didn't know.

The concubine of the eighth son left with a decent look, neither crying and making a fuss, nor hanging herself to death. Because she left quietly, even when she saw a group of carriages outside the eighth son, she didn't know that there was a tragedy in the mansion where the couple was forcibly separated.

So when the Ba Lao appeared in the court with a pale face, the ministers were just curious why Prince Lian was in poor health and insisted on going to court. Although he would be ridiculed by Yongzheng if he asked for leave, would he not be ridiculed by Yongzheng if he insisted on going to court while he was sick?

Seeing Lao Ba's pale face, Yongzheng knew that the final blow he launched had already made Lao Ba feel heartbroken, and he felt very happy.

Before the launch, Yongzheng actually thought carefully about how he could let Lao Ba let it go. After thinking about it, there was only one way. Lao Ba himself knelt down in the court and apologized for his crimes. He confessed his crimes to Yongzheng in front of the civil and military officials in the court, and analyzed his bad belly, so that all the civil and military officials in the court could see clearly and understand. Knowing that Yongzheng treated Lao Ba this way, it was not that Yongzheng was sarcastic, but that Lao Ba himself deserved the crime.

After cleaning up these bad reputations for Yongzheng, Lao Ba asked Yongzheng to kill him to face the truth and correct the national law.

In that case, Yongzheng would also think that Lao Ba was his brother, and spare Lao Ba's life and ban Lao Ba forever.

But this last chance has passed. Since Lao Ba still insisted on buzzing and flying in the court like a green-headed fly, he refused to die by himself. Then Yongzheng could only let Lao Ba die.

Lao Ba thought he was smart, which was really a joke. Even Huo Chong could see that, and pointed out without hesitation that Lao Ba was a solid fool, a real fool!

But Lao Ba himself didn't know. Withdrew his gaze, Yongzheng felt relieved. If the bad woman had not supported her behind her back, she would have given advice and various advice to Lao Ba. Could Lao Ba be able to survive until now? He would have let Yongzheng seize the handle and kill him.

It is really a pleasure to drive that bad woman out of the Aisin Gioro family now.

After getting happy, Yongzheng began to face extremely unhappy things. He glanced at Tong Jia Fahai, the Minister of War, and saw Fahai, the Minister of War, step forward sensibly and bowed and said, "Slave Fahai, I have something to say to the emperor."

"Say." Yongzheng was mentally prepared. Even though he had known what Fahai was going to say for a long time, Yongzheng still felt very sad.

Fahai tells the story of the second military operation of the imperial court to wipe out Huo Chong ended in a big defeat. Of course, it would not be said about the Jinan defenders taking away the surrendered soldiers. Fahai just said that Shandong Governor Chen Shiguan was incompetent, which led to the mutiny of the surrendered soldiers released by Huo Chong in Jinan City.

Although the mutiny was jointly suppressed by the defenders of Jinan City and the Qing army in Beizhili who arrived later. However, Chen Shiguan was so disappointed in the emperor's favor and should have been dismissed from office and imprisoned.

One thing the ministers already knew about this, but more ministers did not know about this. This was the second time the court sent troops to wipe out Huo Chong. The first time the court ordered the wipeout of Huo Chong, the six thousand official troops in Dengzhou Town were wiped out, and even the camp in Dengzhou Town was wiped out by Huo Chong, which shocked the court.

This time, 20,000 troops went to wipe out and were completely defeated by Huo Chong. According to the Minister of War, Shu Fahai, the surrendered troops released by Huo Chong were killed by the Jinan defenders and the Northern Zhili Qing army. The 20,000 troops were destroyed again.

Even if you know that you should talk about the etiquette of ministers in the court, you can hear low screams and sighs one after another, as if a large group of green-headed flies were buzzing.

Yongzheng was upset by the sound of the flies. When Fahai finished speaking, he wanted to remove Chen Shiguan from prison, he immediately replied: "Ready for the report!"

The ministers immediately calmed down. It could be seen that killing chickens this time obviously played a role in terrorizing monkeys.

Seeing that no one pleaded for Chen Shiguan, Fahai continued: "The military preparations of the three towns in Shandong, Henan and Jiangsu are slack and cannot stand the war. Although there are many casualties this time, a mutiny has started due to the disarray of military discipline. The slave asked the emperor not to give him any pensions."

"Authentication!" Yongzheng breathed a sigh of relief. This saved at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

It must be said that if 20,000 Qiuba's life and death are not subject to the ministers in the court, it is far less affected than that of Chen Shiguan's dismissal from office and imprisonment. Chen Shiguan's imprisonment means that if the ministers commit the same crimes, they will be dealt with the same. As for what does the life and death of 20,000 Qiuba's life and death have to do with the pension after death and the ministers in the court?

At this moment, Yongzheng turned to Prince Lian. Just looking at Yongzheng's eyes, the ministers knew that the daily life had begun again. Then Yongzheng asked: "Prince Lian, Huo Chong, the thief, began to fabricate rumors again, but this time, if the rumors he made up were not made up for him by the royal ministers in the court, Huo Chong, a country craftsman, would he know about the things in the court? Do you know who made up the rumors? "

When Prince Lian heard this, he couldn't help but smiled miserably, and felt extremely funny. For several years, Yongzheng had always wanted to frame him, but this time, Yongzheng still wanted to frame him. However, Yongzheng was afraid that the so-called crime he pointed out was actually true.
