Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 522 Am I Wrong
Qianqing Palace.

"Nonsense! What a bastard! Tell me clearly, what is going on?!"

There was a sound of shattering jewels and jade and metal hitting rocks in the Qianqing Palace. It turned out that Emperor Kangxi kicked over the kang table in a rage. All the aromatherapy burners and various ornaments on the small table fell down and were smashed to pieces.

"Emperor calm down!"

Seeing this, all the ministers knew that the emperor was angry, and they knelt down one after another, lowered their heads and exchanged glances with each other, because they didn't know what to do, whether the emperor would really touch the Zhen family this time.However, no matter what the holy will is, there must be no less eye drops for the Zhen family.

And it was Yinzhen who spoke first: "Huang Ama, Zhen Yingjia has already become a local emperor in the Jiangnan area. I believe that Huang Ama has heard of it for so many years. No matter how much the Zhen family used to go too far, it was just for the sake of it." It’s nothing more than some money, but this time Zhen Yingjia stretched out his hand to the local government and sold his official titles, it’s an unforgivable crime!”

As soon as Yinzhen spoke, the ministers who were holding back their stomachs opened their chatter boxes one after another: "Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know, the Zhen family..."

As soon as the blah blah blah came down, Lord Kangxi's face immediately turned into a pig liver color. Seeing that the important officials still wanted to continue talking, Lord Kangxi was tired of hearing it.

"Okay, you don't have to report to me one by one, but organize the cases in your hands into files and hand them all over to the three courts for review. I know that these are big cases of the Zhen family, but all the ministers Work harder, before autumn I want to know what the Zhen family has done behind Zhen's back all these years!"

Before autumn?The emperor has made up his mind to try the Zhen family.But... if this time there is still thunder and rain, and Zhen Guifei begs for a few words of love and then lifts it up high and gently puts it down again, then it is not worth the fuss.

How could Lord Kangxi not know what his subjects were thinking?He sighed deeply and said, "Where is He Shuo, Minister of Rites?"

One of the ministers stood up: "The minister is here."

"You, just write a decree with my pen and ink here to see that Concubine Zhen of Yanxi Palace will be deprived of her title immediately, demoted to a commoner, and temporarily detained in Qianxi Palace, and her life and death will be decided after the Zhen family is convicted. Those who were close to her were all shot, and the rest of the Palace of Yanxi Palace were sent back out of the palace, and they were not allowed to enter the capital forever, and she was not allowed to take anything in the palace with her. Anyone who violates it will be guilty of the same crime as Zhen."

The entire Qianqing Palace was silent, no one thought that the emperor would deal with such a heavy blow to Concubine Zhen, who had always loved and loved her so much, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.He Shuozi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was also dazed again and again, and hurriedly received the decree. He knelt on a footrest and quickly wrote down an imperial decree with the pen and ink of Lord Kangxi.

Lord Kangxi took a look, and handed it to Wei Zhu: "You take the master and deliver the decree in person. During this period, you must not leak any news, and you must not miss any palace personnel in Yanxi Palace."

Wei Zhu smiled knowingly, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your majesty, the servant will definitely handle it properly."

With Lord Kangxi's decree, everyone in the court knew that the Zhen family was doomed this time. Haven't all the crimes of the Zhen family that they have mastered for so many years been uncovered and used?Not at this time, when should we wait?
So, for the rest of this spring and the whole summer, the cabinet received a snowflake of papers, all of which were accusations against the Zhen family.Including the crimes in the hands of the princes, the people in the Sansi Yamen in the capital are about to vomit blood, and spend every day in the boring and mechanical way of sorting out the papers.And those documents are big cases, and it is not convenient to find someone to write them on behalf of them. For the officials of the third department, the extremely heavy paperwork is almost enough to kill them.

During this period, Xue Hong and the Xue family were not idle either. They were sparing no effort to help Prince Yong collect the crimes of the Zhen family, the case of Concubine Min's natal family back then, the case of Su Tongyuan, including some cases of the Zhen family that Zhen Shiyin knew about, There are also all the crimes of the Zhen family that the Concubine Min has been searching for for so many years. The number of charges turned out to be the most.

Later, because the Emperor had set a time limit for his death, and the Zhen family had too many cases, the officials in charge of the documents in the third department could not handle it, so they only selected the most important ones and compiled them into files, and handed over a dozen boxes of papers to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishments made a lot of deletions, and handed it over to Dali Temple. Dali Temple looked at the file roughly, and settled 230 six charges in a grand manner. When it was presented to Lord Kangxi, his face was blue.

"Execute the decision! The Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Xujia, cut off the decision immediately! Don't delay! Also, the woman in Qianxi Palace will also be given death by me! The rest of the Zhen family, all the immediate relatives are sold As a slave, there are those of the same clan, who have no serious crimes under their names. Three generations of men are not allowed to be officials, and three generations of women are not allowed to marry official men. I have shown mercy and favor to the Zhen family for many years, and I have favored the sinners of the Qing Dynasty. So many Zhongliang died tragically at the hands of the Zhen family, so many people were cruelly poisoned by the Zhen family. It is I, it is I who was blinded by the Zhen family, I am sorry for the loyal ministers and generals who died tragically, and I am sorry for the people of the world!"

After Master Kangxi yelled this sentence, he sat down dejectedly.In fact, he is over sixty years old this year, and there will always be various problems in his body. Most of them are complications caused by common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of the elderly. The most taboo is the emotional ups and downs. I don't know if he is guilty or angry, but anyway, his mood swings are really big, which is really harmful to his body.

All the ministers hurriedly took orders and went to work, only Yinzhen accompanied Lord Kangxi, and said with a worried face: "Huang Ama, you have given the final verdict, and the matter of the Zhen family is over, so please don't bother me anymore." Think about it, pay attention to your body. Didn’t the imperial physician say that you should not get angry? My son will help you to take medicine and rest. You should have a good sleep first and don’t think about anything else.”

Under Yinzhen's diligent and careful service, Lord Kangxi took the medicine and lay down on the dragon bed. Just as Yinzhen put down the curtain and was about to exit the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lord Kangxi stopped him: "Fourth, you said that I have been here for so many years?" Is it wrong to indulge the Zhen family like this for a map of mine veins?"

Lord Kangxi never expected that the Zhen family would do such an outrageous thing.In the early years of Kangxi, the world was still not very peaceful, and the anti-Qing forces in various places have never subsided. In order to prevent the map of mines from falling into the hands of others, and to prevent those who are interested in secretly mining, operating and casting the most important iron for weapons, Lord Kangxi was right. The Zhen family is so rich, but now facing the heinous crimes of the Zhen family, even a wise gentleman like Lord Kangxi has to shake his decision back then.
