Crossing Prince Yinren

Chapter 38 The King of the Snow Region

None of the officials thought that there would be such a thing, and they were all stunned for a moment.

In fact, although Princess Ning An is smart, she is young after all, and she didn't order people to send Li Xiao to Xie's mansion that day, but she didn't order to be secret, but the news that Li Xiao was sent to Xie's mansion by the princess's people did not spread at all. Of course, there is something strange about it.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, those who tried to harm officials would be executed. Although it is not clear what happened, since the emperor revealed it at the court meeting, there must be solid evidence. In any case, Ming An is dead.

Chen Henian asked again: "Ming An, do you want to confront them?"

Ming An murmured: "Slave...slave..." But he couldn't say a complete sentence.He is also well aware of the joints.

Yinfeng's voice added a bit of coldness: "Ming'an, you have nothing to say, but you still want to argue that those previous crimes are all unjust? You even dared to kill an official in the court, so why not dare?" So far, the tyranny and domineering are far more than the seven cases Xie Zizhou referred to. The governor and admiral let you do such a reckless act, and I will investigate the responsibility. As for the other people involved, whoever is responsible is whose responsibility, but you can't get rid of it just by clinging to it indiscriminately. Yes. As for those 'old relatives' who you 'give the ceremony', hmph—" His eyes swept across the ministers, everyone felt that he was looking at themselves, and they all lowered their heads involuntarily.

I don't know why, obviously he didn't speak harshly, and his eyes were not very intimidating, but all the ministers felt that the thoughts in their hearts were clearly seen in those bright eyes, especially those who had accepted Ming An's "etiquette". Extremely uneasy. "—Don't take chances, I don't have a 'lucky' thing here. You don't believe in my Overwatch Council, you have to try your own way, but I believe in the ability of my Overwatch Council."

Even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly in the court hall, and the court ministers all understood the storm and determination hidden in the emperor's plain words.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been acting like a vassal in front of him, acting like a running dog here and a spearhead over there. The ethos of the Overwatch Council has indeed changed quietly, and he has done a few things that cannot be ignored.Chen Henian, the censor of the right capital, has always been known as the "iron-faced censor" among the people; the chief official, He Ding, the censor of the left capital, who was sent to Jiangnan to investigate the corruption and bribery of officials involved in this case, is a Manchu, but he is loyal and shrewd to Yinfeng Hard work.The rest of the assistant officials such as Zhu Yun, Gu Zhichuan, etc. are also not afraid of power and authority, and each has a strong character. Although they all act in a low-key manner, which makes people easy to ignore habitually, but now no one dares to underestimate them.He Ding was still in the south of the Yangtze River, and many of the ministers quietly cast their eyes on Chen Henian, who is actually in charge now, but they saw that he bowed slightly to the praise brought out by the emperor's words, his face was calm as usual, without any look of arrogance.

After a pause, Yinfeng asked again calmly: "What else do you have to say about Ming'an?"

There is nothing to say, no one dares to speak out.

"Your ministers have no objection, so we will withdraw from the court." After finishing speaking, Yinfeng got up and drove away.

At this time, it has come to Sizheng hour (1), and the sun is getting hotter.Everyone stood at Yinshi till now, all of them were exhausted, tired and hungry, and there was nothing to say about Sheng Gong's decision on the last matter. Ming An, who was still paralyzed in place, took another look.

The guards waited for the courtiers to disperse, and dragged him to the prison.

Ninth elder brother Yinzhen walked out of the palace together with his mother and elder brother, took off his hat and said bitterly: "Ming An is really unbelievable, leaving such a big mess here, it makes people think It's useless to do anything for him! It's useless to make so many arrangements!"

Yinzhen, who was always gentle, said in a rare cold voice, "It's a capital crime for him to do such a thing, how can you help him? Just like what the second brother said, he dared to kill an official ordered by the court. , why dare not save him this time, are you waiting for him to cause a bigger disaster next time so as to implicate you?"

Yinzhen said without hesitation: "Fifth brother, you can't say that. Do you know how much money he gave me for opening the mansion just this time? - This amount!" He stretched out a finger to compare.

Yin Qi hesitated: "Ten thousand?"

Yinzhen sneered, and said: "It's one hundred thousand! The few boxes of jewelry he sent to his mother and concubine that day were no less than fifty thousand!" Then he said enviously, "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is really rich, and Ming An has only been there for four years , look at his handwriting!"

Yin Qi was also taken aback by this huge amount. It should be known that the amount allocated by the court of Baylor's Kaifu was only 10,000+ taels, and this was just Ming An's salute to a prince who had no real power!Yinqi couldn't help but think of the gift list and small box that Mingrui asked his family to send after he came to the door.

At that time, he was taken back without even looking at it. At this time, he couldn't imagine the value of the property on the gift list and in the box.

He murmured: "This kind of moth in the country, no wonder the second brother hates it so much..." How much does Jiangnan tax one-year-old earn!

Yinzhen gave him a displeased look, "There's no way you don't make money when you're an official. Fifth brother, it's boring to talk to you. You're not the second brother, what kind of mind are you talking about!"

Yinqi was angry with him, "I blame the second brother for never assigning you a real job. Look at you now, can people feel relieved to give you a real job? How did the second brother teach us when we were young..."

Yinzhen interrupted him: "Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. What did we Manchus enter the pass for? It was not for the colorful world in the pass, which is prosperous. Is it really for the 'Qingjun side'? Second brother... ..." He curled his lips, "It's because he was taught a bit circuitous by his Han masters, how come you were taught to be like this by the second brother..."

Yinqi said angrily: "Do you dare to go to the second brother and tell him that in person?"

Although Yinfeng never used the identity of prince or emperor to coerce his brothers since he was a child, he always loved and protected him more carefully than Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhen was never afraid of him.But he still didn't dare to say these words in person, and stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm not crazy, why should I say this in a proper way?" Afraid that my brother would be more verbose, he quickly continued, "Okay Not to mention, the concubine mother is still living in my house, so I have to walk a few steps quickly and go back to accompany her old man."

Yin Qiming knew that he wouldn't listen, but he still shouted: "Stop, you are not allowed to meddle in this matter anymore, you know?"

Yinzhen disappeared from his sight in a flash.

He was pampered and brought up by Concubine Yi since he was a child, and he was not afraid of anything, but this person, who was obviously gentle and gentle in front of others, always babbled endlessly in front of him whenever he got a chance. His mother's elder brother's long-winded miraculous skills still made him a little unbearable.

Yin Qi looked at the direction where he disappeared and sighed.When will this younger brother grow up and become more sensible?

"Fifth elder brother! Fifth elder brother! Please wait for a while!..." When he was about to reach the gate of the palace, a servant suddenly came from behind panting and shouted.He turned his head, and the servant saluted profusely with sweat, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has summoned you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

Yin Qi saw that it was Xu Fang, the chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, who hurriedly supported him and said, "Eunuch Xu, what are you doing in such a hurry? I don't know why the emperor called me?"

Xu Fang wiped his sweat and said: "The emperor received an urgent brochure. After reading it, he asked the slaves to hurry up and tell all the brothers not to leave the palace. As for what it is, the slaves don't know. The slaves have to do it." Hurry up and call Prince Zhi.”

Yin Qi was taken aback, "Even the eldest brother called?...Then you go quickly, so as not to delay your errand." He said to get out of the way.

Xu Fang saluted him again, and hurried to summon other elder brothers.

Yin Qi thought for a while, then walked quickly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Although the eldest brother, Prince Zhiyin, also holds a position in the court, it is usually not a matter of military affairs, and the second brother seldom works for him. What is the big deal this time?

He walked to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the waiter motioned him to go straight into the study.He entered the study, and the third brother Yinzhi, the fourth brother Yinzhen, and the eighth brother Yinhu were already in there.

Yinfeng was holding a vermilion pen in his hand to approve a stack of memorials before the case. There was no anxious look on his face. When he saw him coming in, he nodded and said, "Are you hungry? Let's eat some pasta and drink some tea for a while." Let's eat when everyone is together." As he spoke, he dipped in the cinnabar and continued to criticize.

Yin Qi looked at the others, they were all sitting, and they were eating snacks while they were getting tea, so they also chose a place to sit at random.The palace ladies and eunuchs are not allowed to enter the study room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation without permission. Yinfeng called out "Lin Hai" without raising his head, and the great eunuch Lin Hai came in with several colored cakes and a cup of fragrant tea, and placed them in Yinfeng In front of Qi, he quietly withdrew again.

Some of them ate snacks, some of them were criticizing the notebooks, and after a while, Prince Zhi, Seven Baylor, Nine Baylor, and Ten Baylor all arrived, before Yinfeng put down his pen and handed a secret booklet to them. : "Newly arrived in Tibet, Lhazang Khan wrote a letter saying that Sangye Gyatso had intended to rebel and had been executed by him. The sixth emperor called Tsangyang Gyatso for not abiding by the clear rules. He was a fake lama and asked to depose him."

Everyone was taken aback.Yinbi has the highest title and the oldest age among the crowd, so he opened it first when he took it.

The excerpts are in both Manchu and Tibetan. At the beginning, there is a paragraph of greetings and praises, followed by the main text.The general idea is that Lazang Khan reported that Sangye Gyatso bribed the Khan's servants and poisoned his food. Lazang Khan found out that a war broke out between the two sides. Fortunately, the Longevity God protected and Zangjun was defeated. He had sent Sangye Gyatso killed.Finally, the request to abolish the sixth Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso.

After reading it, Yinzhi didn't say a word, and then handed over the folder to Yinzhi.After reading it, Yinzhi continued to pass on the excerpts, and said with some joy: "This is a good thing. Sangye Gyatso, relying on Tibet's high heaven and earth, has always been obedient to the imperial court, and does not take the imperial court seriously. According to our people According to the news from there, the sixth Dalai Lama is his puppet. Lhazang Khan is very respectful and attached to us. Isn’t it great that he won.”

The fourth and seventh elder brothers who knew something about military affairs frowned slightly when they heard the words.

Tibet is too high and far away. Although it claims to be attached to the Qing court, the imperial court has always been unable to control it.Lazang Khan was originally the grandson of Gu Shihan from the Heshuo Special Tribe in Qinghai. When Gu Shihan was the king of Tibet, although he apparently established the fifth Dalai Lama, he actually ruled the whole of Tibet by himself. Weak, Lhazang Khan had been relying on the support of the imperial court to get along with Sangye Gyatso reluctantly.Now that he has killed Sangye Gyatso, he is once again dominant in Tibet, which is not all good for the imperial court.

The eighth elder brother hesitated after reading it, and said: "It is indeed a good thing, but if you come to Tibet like this, wouldn't Lhazang Khan be the only one?"

The rest of the people were silent after reading it, and passed the excerpt back to the Yinfeng case.

Yinfeng also took a sip of the slightly cold tea cup, and said, "What do you think about this, brother?"
