Crossing Prince Yinren

Yinfeng suppressed the booklet and ignored it, but the call came immediately, and someone came out to ask Lou Qingshan to stop his post, to find out whether he was really corrupt, and severely punish those who were corrupt and dereliction of duty.

The one who made the speech was a speaker with a very low position. He seldom spoke in court, but his eloquence was surprisingly excellent. He made an impassioned and heartbroken statement of the great damage caused by corruption and dereliction of duty to the country. Corruption and dereliction of duty are related to the internal corruption of the country. The meaning in the words is that if Lou Qingshan is not executed immediately, the Qing Dynasty will perish immediately.After hearing this, Yinfeng felt that if he didn't punish the nine clans of Lou Qingshan immediately, he would be a sinner through the ages.It was the first time that Yinreng knew that his usually inconspicuous Aiqing still had such a good eloquence.

His extremely provocative language made more than half of the people in the court show the anger and pain of the same hatred. One after another, people stood up and seconded, each speaking more and more angrily, as if they had a sworn hatred with Lou Qingshan.Someone even choked up with tears and said: "Your Majesty, all your lords have great insight. Corruption and dereliction of duty have been a serious problem that is difficult to solve in the past dynasties. You must not treat it as a trivial matter and let it go. You need to know that the dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by ants. How difficult it is for my ancestors to start a business, how can such villains destroy my eternal foundation?!"

Almost all the people in the court were moved by him, and at the same time forgot that he was actually a Hanchen.Yinfeng was finally deeply moved by their "loyalty, loyalty to the country", took a closer look at the sincere courtier who opened his mouth and changed his ancestors, remembered his appearance, stood up and said sadly: "Everything you say is true. Corruption among officials is the root of a country's downfall. We must not ignore it! Since I took the throne, I have reduced meals and practiced strict frugality. , beat Ge Erdan, when the treasury was empty, the salaries of the officials were still quadrupled, and there were constant rewards in various festivals. However, there are still greedy moths in the country who search for the people's fat and fat to fill their private pockets. Father-in-law, I hate you to the extreme! As Zhu Qing said, corruption and dereliction of duty are the foundations of our Great Qing from within, we must not ignore it and let it go, we must strictly investigate it!"

The officials who stood up to second the proposal immediately showed joy on their faces, and many people in the ranks who did not express their views also showed joy in their eyes.

Yinfeng changed the subject, and said again: "However, before the crime is proven, I can't accuse the innocent minister, so that the country's pillars will suffer innocent injustice and unnecessary insult. Zuodu Censor He Ding, you personally investigate the case of Lou Qingshan, if he is innocent, you cannot wrong him, if he is really greedy, you must not tolerate it!"

A middle-aged Manchu official with a calm demeanor stepped forward respectfully to take orders.

The forced emperor ordered to search Lou Qingshan, which was already a victory.But the person who checked was He Ding... All the officials thought about the emperor's intention to use this person in their hearts, and praised in unison; "The emperor is wise!"

Amid the sound of praise, standing at the forefront of the clan and officials, several heavyweights who had not spoken before exchanged a few obscure glances when people were not paying attention.It has been a long time since he appeared in the court hall. Prince Zhiyin, who looked heroic in his prince's uniform, sneered slightly, and Prince Yinzhen of Yongjun, who was a few people behind him, frowned.

After the chants fell, Yinreng sighed, and picked up the memorial to the tower and Qingshan again. "Lou Qingshan, I remember that he was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Kangxi, and he only knew Dengzhou Mansion for two years. If the report is true, the greedy ink has reached 4000 taels of silver, more than [-] hectares of land, and countless other antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry. .Dengzhou is not considered a rich place, no wonder there is a folk saying, 'Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes'..."

Those who are qualified to stand in the court are all human sperm, and those who understand Yinreng's behavior style, when they heard the emperor's tone, they immediately felt that it was not good——

Sure enough, Yinfeng went on to say very sadly: "If such a proverb can be sung, I guess corruption has become a common practice. As everyone said, the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest. I can no longer let these moths go. Let the foundation of our Qing Dynasty be corrupted, and let the foundation of our ancestors be ruined on them! He Ding, don't limit yourself to Lou Qingshan, you are the censor of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you must clean up this atmosphere for me, and I will send someone to help you Don't let those corrupt officials suck the fat of the people!"

He Ding came out again and responded: "My minister obeys the order!"

Yinreng paused for a moment, and then said: "Yinzhen, you have done two business trips, so go and help Mr. He."

Yinzhen has the most serious personality. Although he knew that this was a very offensive job, he replied solemnly without blinking an eye: "Your brother obeys the order." atmosphere.

After deciding on this matter, Yinfeng no longer cared about the reactions of his courtiers, and immediately announced his withdrawal from the court, ordering Yinzhen and He Ding to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with him.

When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation and ordered them to sit down, Yinfeng asked, "He Qing, what rules do you have for this errand?"

He Ding stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Lou Qingshan..."

Yinfeng interrupted him, "I'm not referring to Lou Qingshan. You can do whatever you want with Lou Qingshan. If he is innocent, return his innocence. If he is greedy, he must not be tolerated. Don't think that you are doing things for me. What kind of privilege is there. What I'm asking is to investigate those corrupt officials."

He Ding was silent for a moment, and asked straightforwardly: "What does the emperor mean?"

The Qing court has a rule that a chief official must be a Manchu.Although He Ding is a Manchu, his family background is not prominent, and he has no family support. It was Yinreng who valued his practical ability and promoted him exceptionally.

Yinfeng leaned back on the back of the chair and said, "What I mean is that it's time."

He Ding slightly hesitated: "Right now? Shandong is trying to implement 'Tan Ding into Mu'. At this time, the big move will cause the situation in the court to become unimaginably chaotic. Should we wait for a better time?"

Yinfeng said: "There will never be a suitable time for anti-corruption. Once the stalls are opened, they will not stop completely in less than ten years. Will we have to wait another ten years to deal with those corrupt officials? By then the country will I'm afraid they've all turned them into empty shells." This is no exaggeration, it is a true portrayal of the last years of Kangxi in history. "Besides, let those moths eat, what can I do? I still have a lot of important things to do, how can I let them hold me back."

He Ding said: "Then what the emperor means is to thoroughly investigate."

Yinfeng said: "Exactly." He looked at Yinzhen and asked, "What do you think of Xiao Si?"

Yinzhen remained silent all this time, and said at this moment: "Second brother really wants to check, the most important thing is those Manchu surnames."

Yinfeng said: "Not bad."

Yinzhen took a serious look at him, stood up and saluted, "My brother is willing to share the worries of the emperor."

Yinfeng smiled, and pulled him to sit beside him, and the atmosphere in the room, which was slightly stagnant, suddenly flowed briskly, as if flowers were blooming all over the place.

"This errand is not easy, is Yinzhen afraid?"

Yinzhen was very calm: "Evil is overwhelming, and it is my younger brother who is going to investigate corrupt officials. If I am afraid, I am also afraid of those corrupt officials. What are my younger brothers afraid of?"

Yinfeng's smile was even wider, and what Yinzhen admired the most was this kind of attitude of daring to do things. "I'm afraid that they are too afraid of you." He clapped his hands lightly and said, "I have someone for you."

Immediately outside the door came a vigorous young military officer in his twenties.

Yinreng smiled and said: "Give me a salute to Mr. He, the king of Yongjun."

The military officer immediately shouted: "The humble Wu Zheng has met Prince Yong and Mr. He!"

Yinfeng said: "This is a team leader of Lightning. He will be responsible for your safety until the end of this errand."

Yinzhen and He Ding looked at each other, both a little surprised.Lightning is the name of the special army created by the emperor before he ascended the throne. It is so powerful that it is mysterious and unspeakable. According to legend, it is omnipotent. The most beneficial and mysterious force in the hands of the emperor.Isn't it too much to send Lightning's team leader to protect them before the anti-corruption campaign begins?

Yinzhen frowned slightly: "Second brother, did the Taixing division mobilize the crowd?" One of them is the censor of Zuodu, and the other is the nobleman of Tianhuang. Even if a bunch of corrupt officials are found out, how can those people do anything to them? no?

Yinfeng shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate those corrupt officials. When you pull out a carrot, you may not bring out anything. People's greed is endless. When a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, he can do anything. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Wu Zheng will not interfere with your investigation, nor will he show his face in front of others, but will only protect your safety in the dark. So you have to rely on your own errands."

He Ding and Yinzhen could only respond to what he said.

After meeting Wu Zheng and the two of them, they withdrew. He Ding and Yinzhen discussed with Yinreng the rules of the errand, and they also resigned.Walking to the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinreng suddenly stopped Yinzhen again: "Xiaosi, wait a minute."

Yinzhen stopped.

Yinfeng said: "Are you going to pay your respects to Empress Dowager De? I happen to be going to the military aircraft department. Let's go together."

He Ding was very winking, guessing that the emperor had something to say to his younger brother alone, so he pleaded guilty and left first.

It was another fine autumn day, the sky was cut into squares by the high palace walls of the Forbidden City, but it looked bluer and clearer.Yinreng changed into jade green regular clothes, walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation together with Yinzhen, walking with hands behind his back, looking very relaxed.

"Yinzhen, the second brother assigned you this time an errand that offends others. Do you blame the second brother in your heart?"

To be honest, not only is this errand not difficult to handle, but even if it is done well, it may not be a good one. On the contrary, the better it is done, the more people will be offended. It is definitely a hot potato.

He Ding is the censor of Zuodu, and it is his duty to supervise the officials, which cannot be shirked, and there is nothing to complain about, but Yinzhen is different.He is not obliged to dip into this muddy water.

Yinzhen walked half a step behind Yinreng, and hurriedly said: "My younger brother is supposed to do things for the court with the salary of the court. How can you complain about the second brother because of fear of difficulties?"

Yinfeng Zhu stopped and glanced at him, then continued to walk forward, and said: "Xiaosi, since the death of Empress Dowager Xiaoyi, you grew up in Yuqing Palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that I brought you up.

"Second brother knows your ambition. You are not willing to be mediocre and idle for a lifetime. We Manchus pay attention to the value of sons and mothers, and the empress dowager is of mediocre background. After Tong Guifei empress raised you, she was afraid of virtue. The status of the concubine is too low, and some people will look down on you. I begged the emperor, and the concubine was conferred. You have no mother to rely on, so you can only rely on yourself. This errand, for others It is a trouble, but it is a challenge and an opportunity for you, do you understand?"
