Chapter 28 Fu Cha Yi Xin 28
Bi Da Ying is just a fence-sitter.
Seeing that Concubine Nian had fallen out of favor, she wanted to go to Shen Meizhuang for help again.
Shen Meizhuang resented Bi Da Ying for betraying her master and joining her enemy, so she ridiculed Bi Da Ying. In the end, Bi Da Ying left Xianfu Palace with a lot of resentment.
The feud between the two began.
After Shen Meizhuang's injustice was cleared, Yinzhen went to her Cunju Hall the next day. He thought he would be warmly received by her, but he never expected to see an extremely cold face.
That look and that attitude all said, "Please leave!"
Yinzhen was also a man with a bad temper. He felt that since he was the emperor, everyone had to flatter him, so how could anyone treat him coldly?
So he didn't want to wrong himself and turned around and went to the place where Zhong Cui and Gong Bi agreed.
Shen Meizhuang wanted to live the rest of her life in peace, but someone wanted to make things difficult for her.
That person was Concubine Nian.
Concubine Nian blamed Shen Meizhuang for having her title stripped, her rank demoted, and her palace power taken away from her.
After hearing that Yinzhen had visited her, she had someone poison her the next day.
However, she was afraid that Shen Meizhuang's symptoms were the same as Zhen Huan's, which would arouse other people's suspicion, so she did not give Zhen Huan the overseas poison.
Only the common arsenic was used.
She had poisoned Shen Meizhuang in the Old Summer Palace but she had escaped. She didn't believe that Shen Meizhuang would be so lucky this time.
But what she didn't know was that Shen Meizhuang had become much more cautious since the last time, and would check every meal with a silver needle before eating.
So this time, he still discovered that he had been poisoned.
She didn't even need to check, she knew it must have been Concubine Nian who did it.
After all, this incident had happened once before in the Old Summer Palace.
"Caiyue, I wanted to just stay in Cunju Hall, but you see, Concubine Nian is still unwilling to let me go. I can't just sit there and wait for death."
"What does the young lady mean?" Caiyue asked excitedly. She really didn't want to see her young master remain silent any longer.
"The Emperor let Concubine Nian off so easily. I can no longer place my hopes of revenge on him. I want to win favor! I want to become the Emperor's favorite concubine. I want Concubine Nian to be jealous of me, but she can't do anything about it. I want to avenge myself personally. I want her to die!"
Shen Meizhuang clenched her fists, and the veins on her hands tensed up. Just by seeing this, Caiyue knew that her young mistress had made a great decision.
"My lord, whatever you do, I will support you."
"Okay Caiyue, please go to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Wen for me. I have been too haggard these days, and I need him to prescribe some beauty-enhancing prescriptions for me."
Shen Meizhuang had beautiful thoughts, but Yi Xin had already instructed the Imperial Hospital that Wen Shichu would only look after Yi Xin's health in the harem, except for Yinzhen and the royal heirs.
The Imperial Medical Bureau sent an imperial physician who was good at health preservation to Shen Meizhuang. Shen Meizhuang was not very familiar with Wen Shichu at that time, so she did not force him to be her imperial physician. After learning that this imperial physician was also recuperating Princess Wen Yi's health, she felt at ease to use him.
After Yinzhen saw Yi Xin's script, he immediately sent Xia Qian from the Sticking Rod Department to investigate.
Xia Qian could find out this little thing by visiting a morning market, and soon presented the prices of goods in the capital to Yinzhen.
After reading it, Yinzhen was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the table.
He said angrily: "How dare you!"
Xia Qian immediately knelt on the ground obediently, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Yinzhen spun the eighteen pieces of paper and was silent for a long time before he said, "The people in the Imperial Household Department are so bold, I think there must be a precedent. First, check the situation of the Imperial Household Department during the time of the previous emperor, and then check the current Imperial Household Department. I want to know the names of these termites."
After receiving the order, Xia Qian immediately began a secret investigation. Because a large number of people were involved, the investigation lasted more than three months.
When Yinzhen saw Uya, the first person on the list, he didn't know what to say.
In fact, he had expected this, but he did not expect that Uya was the one who was most corrupt.
It makes sense. During the time of the previous emperor, they had Concubine De backing them up. Now that Concubine De has become the empress dowager, they are naturally even more daring.
Yinzhen hated corruption the most, and he would not let Uya go. However, the empress had just passed away in December last year, and the empress dowager almost had a stroke because of it. If she knew that he was going to deal with Uya, her body might not be able to bear it.
But if he was asked to wait until the empress dowager passed away before taking any action, he could not bear it.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he ordered his men to block the news about Shoukang Palace.
He summoned all the princes, dukes, beile and important officials such as Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi into the palace, showed them the comparison between the prices in the capital and the prices in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and discussed together how to deal with the matter.
Everyone originally thought that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and that as long as people are greedy for a little profit and it is not excessive, there is no need to pursue it. But what did they see in the end?
An egg cost 2 wen in ordinary households and 2 liang in the Imperial Household Department.
By conversion, one egg from the Imperial Household Department is equivalent to 1000 eggs from ordinary people.
As for the price of cabbage, the common price was 2 to 3 wen per catty, while the Imperial Household Department calculated it at 3 liang per catty.
This is the case with vegetables and eggs, not to mention meat. Pork costs 40 wen per pound in the common people, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs charges 10 taels of silver per pound.
Zhang Tingyu was a man of upright character and was the first to express his opinion.
"Your Majesty, I think the Ministry of Internal Affairs is so corrupt that it must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
Ma Qi also gave his own suggestions.
"Your Majesty, there are many bondservants involved in this matter. If we are not careful, your safety may be endangered. I think that although this matter must be severely punished, we must also make full preparations and not leak the news, lest those people escape in advance, or they are desperate and want to do something in the palace."
Everyone, including Yinzhen, thought Ma Qi's words made sense.
Several people discussed how to prevent the Baoyi from counterattacking or escaping, as well as some subsequent action plans, and finally decided to schedule the time for the night of February 2nd, when the Dragon raises its head.
That night, almost all the palaces were occupied by guards who took away several people.
Some of them were the confidants of the ladies, but the guards were following the orders of the emperor, so they did not dare to stop them.
They were just all very worried, thinking that something had happened and they were implicated.
It was not until the next day that everyone sent people out to investigate and found out that this was the case in all the palaces, and they finally put their minds at ease.
However, what they did not find out was that all the so-called bannermen families outside the palace had their properties confiscated.
The amount of gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even tributes from foreign countries that were carried out of their homes was innumerable.
The onlookers were initially panic-stricken, thinking that some terrible literary inquisition had occurred or that some members of the White Lotus Sect were rebelling again.
As a result, when they saw the carts full of gold, silver and jewelry, they realized that the home of some corrupt official must have been raided, and they all shouted that they deserved it.
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue counted the money all night long, and the abacus beads were almost worn out. It was only three days later that the settlement was completed.
When Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, there were only 8 million taels of silver in the national treasury. Over the years, the homes of some corrupt officials were raided and silver and grain were sent to the Northwest Army. By the beginning of March in Yongzheng's reign, there were only 14 million taels of silver in the national treasury.
After this confiscation of property, the amount of silver in the national treasury directly exceeded 100 million, and the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and tributes from foreign countries were also stored in Yinzhen's private treasury.
Now that he has money in his pocket, Yinzhen feels like he walks with the wind.
It's just that he is free and easy, but the Queen Mother is not in good shape.
The Empress Dowager's network of contacts could not be completely cleared out by Yinzhen in just one night.
Someone still delivered the news to Shoukang Palace. When the empress dowager learned that Uya's property had been confiscated and she had been demoted to a commoner, she fainted.
When I woke up, I found that I had suffered a complete stroke and was paralyzed in bed.
But even though his mouth was a little crooked, he could still speak.
When he saw Yinzhen, he scolded him for disregarding family ties and attacking his own uncle.
Yinzhen and the empress dowager did not have a deep mother-son relationship. Seeing that she was still concerned about her family even in such a state, he directly reported the Uya family's actions, which included corruption and bribery, as well as occupying people's land and abducting women.
Any one of them could cost them their lives.
The Queen Mother then calmed down, but no one knew what she was thinking.
