Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

Chapter 129: Raising the banner, pretending to be a tiger, and blaming Kangxi for the bad things

Zhao Shenqiao knelt down and said, "I ask the Eighteenth Prince to be careful with your words."

Ha ha.

[You told me to be careful with my words, and I was careful with my words. How embarrassed would I be? And you are such a bad old man! If I really be careful with my words, my father Kangxi will be used as a gun again.]

[In order to protect my father Kangxi, I will not only be careless, but also speak without restraint! Are you ready? Ha ha ha ~]

When this devilish laughter came out, Kangxi and the other princes trembled slightly.

It sounds terrible. It's really terrible.

But what was even more unpleasant was his subsequent accusation: "Bah! What you two did, this prince can't say anything? Now the capital is full of gossip, saying that your good son cheated to get the top spot in the imperial examination."

"Dai Mingshi and Zhao Xiongzhao had a quarrel over this matter. Well, everyone who knows knows that you, Lord Zhao, value your eldest son the most. During the southern tour with the imperial guards, you would repeatedly mention him when chatting with Khan Ama! Now your son has suffered such a great humiliation, can you bear it?"

puff~

Why do we value the eldest son?

All I can say is that the hereditary tailor surnamed Zhao is used to finding opportunities to gain benefits for his son.

And the Eighteenth Prince is a man who can talk.

Zhao Shenqiao: !!!

He thought that his motives would be questioned when he impeached Dai Mingshi, but he didn't expect that the first person to jump out would be the Eighteenth Prince, who was deeply favored by the Emperor.

You can’t confront others, and you can’t scold others.

He could only kneel as straight as possible and look more serious.

It is like a green pine tree under the snow, neither breaking nor bending.

"I don't know why the Eighteenth Prince has such a misunderstanding. I can only say that although there are many discussions in the streets, my son was personally supervised and graded by the Emperor, and was personally selected as the top scholar among more than 300 candidates."

"My son is young and cannot stand provocation, but I am not ignorant. I will not doubt the emperor's wisdom just because of a few random guesses by fools."

"I will not deliberately frame Dai Mingshi and give him an advantage..."

He used the banner of a big shot and pretended to be a tiger, and then put the blame on Kangxi.

Whether his son Zhao Xiongzhao is qualified to become the top scholar in the imperial examination is not up to him or the people of the world. Zhao Xiongzhao is indeed talented, and the emperor really values ​​him.

Now that the imperial edict has been issued, Zhao Xiongzhao is definitely the top scorer.

They, father and son, only appreciate the great grace of God and try their best to fulfill their duties.

Then he reported those who spread the rumors to the government and let the law clear the father and son's name.

As for today's events...

Zhao Shenqiao kowtowed heavily: "As the Left Censor-in-Chief, I have to report to the emperor when I hear the news. How dare I hide the rebellious letter I saw with my own ears? I..."

There is a lot of talk, but it can be summarized into three points.

First, no matter what others say, the number one scholar is the one chosen by the emperor. We are not in vain, we are just grateful for the emperor's great grace. We are willing to devote ourselves to the Qing Dynasty until our death.

Second, although we are not afraid, rumors can kill people after all.

As a father, it is inevitable to care about your son.

It is human nature to not want good children to be ruined by rumors and to try to understand both ourselves and others. Who would have thought that reading a book with an attitude of understanding would turn out so many rebellious words?

But now that it has been translated, it involves the third point.

It’s our duty!

He was the Left Censor-in-Chief appointed by the emperor himself, and his duty was to impeach all officials.

At this point, he even choked up and said, "If I don't do something so important, how can I live up to the emperor's trust and favor?"

[Hiss~ Is this the legendary traitor who appears loyal? Tsk tsk tsk, look at the tears streaming down his face, more wronged than Dou E. No wonder the Khan in history was deceived by him and really used him as a knife to eliminate dissidents...]

Kangxi:......

Stop it, stop it.

The more I talk about it, the more I feel that I was a bit stupid in history.

Although he may have pretended to be ignorant while knowing the truth, he deliberately used this as an excuse to curb the trend of privately compiling history books among the people.

but……

Kangxi couldn't bear to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt...

Before he could come up with the right words to describe his complexity, Yinxuan started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

clap clap.

The young prince applauded: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a loyal minister you are who serves the country, the people and the king! If you didn't know, you would have thought you were so noble. But in the end you used your position to frame someone?"

"Eighteenth Prince, this humble official..."

"You are not, you didn't. You are just a strict person, and it is your duty." Yinzhen interrupted him unceremoniously: "But! But my Lord Zhao, what is wrong with what is said in the Nanshan Ji Ou Chao?"

"There are many different people, and the same sentence can have different meanings under different interpretations. I think that although Khan Ama is a conservative, he is actually a pioneer. Why do you have a different opinion?"

If it were someone else, Zhao Shenqiao would definitely spit in his face.

If you are more radical, you might even slap them in the face.

Opinion?

I'm very dissatisfied!

But he had to guard the emperor and face the emperor's favorite eighteenth prince.

Does he dare to be more presumptuous?

dare not!

You can only avoid this landmine and pick other thorns.

But Yinzhen didn't give him any chance at all, and kept blocking him with every word he said. He firmly pinned the big hat of wanting to start a big prison for personal grudges and to frame the emperor for being unkind.

For the first time since attending the morning court session, the Eighteenth Prince knelt down with a serious face.

"Father Qihan, even though there are some minor inappropriate things in Dai Mingshi's Nanshan Collection, it is not appropriate for a minister to criticize you. But you have always been kind and tolerant, so there is no need to criticize you too much for a few words written many years ago. Otherwise, people in the world will have the bad impression that you are cruel and intolerant, in addition to being partial to others."

First please make a big thing small, and then please hold Zhao Shenqiao accountable.

What happened to the Censor?

Reporting something based on hearsay does not mean finding fault on purpose!

Originally, we Manchus managed the Central Plains in the name of a minority, and ethnic conflicts have always existed. As a minister, you have been working hard to promote the unity of Manchus and Han people, and you are still breaking your head for your own personal grudge?

He spoke righteously and solemnly, and the eldest prince applauded: "It is amazing that the eighteenth brother, at such a young age, can think so far for the country and the people."

Yeah.

The prince and others also followed suit and praised him non-stop.

Although this cannot be said to be exactly the same as their original plan, it can only be said to be completely unrelated.

But what did Eighteenth Brother do wrong?

He is still a child.

His heart is commendable!

After Zhu A-ge praised him so much, the Han officials, who were originally extremely anxious but dared not speak rashly as the matter involved was of great importance, could no longer sit still.

Hurry up and line up.

Praise the Eighteenth Prince and criticize Zhao Shenqiao.

It doesn't matter who they support or who they support, or who they stand on. They just think that the door to literary inquisition should not be opened rashly, otherwise there will be many people who will follow suit in the future, and how can there be peace in the court?

But no matter why, the public is now against Zhao Shenqiao, and it seems that he will fail miserably.

In order to avoid being forced to do something, he had ulterior motives and ended up losing his job after failing to file a complaint.

Zhao Shenqiao hurriedly used the ultimate trick of a remonstrant minister: "My humble servant's heart is clear, as clear as the sun and the moon. But the Eighteenth Prince doesn't believe it, and..."

"I have nothing to say, except to die to show my determination."
