Yinzhen just looked at him steadfastly and didn't speak for a long time, until the eighth elder brother was disappointed and turned around to leave, he suddenly said: "Old eight, in fact, I have never understood what is so good about that seat, why? Want to fight?"
Don't mention what Wei Lanxing said, and the subsequent emperor died of exhaustion in the dragon case for the sake of the country, just talk about the present.Huang Ama stayed at the desk day and night for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and the prince, as the heir, was also very busy.Every day is either a memorial or on the way of approving the memorial. Private time is very good, almost no.Fujin can't choose the one he likes, and has to sleep with different women according to the situation.I never dared to eat more than three mouthfuls, for fear of being discovered by others and being framed.
What good is it that no one dares to object except to order?No, there are still many censors in the court. If the decision is not what they want, this group of people will come back to give a deadly remonstrance.There are also other civil and military officials, many of whom are in groups.To be an emperor, you must always think about balancing their power, and you can't let one family dominate.
His scalp tingles just thinking about it.He didn't understand, it was obviously a pit of fire, why the old man was still rushing forward sullenly.
Look at the eldest brother, he just started to get impatient after helping with the palace affairs for a few days, he was not allowed to go to war, and he also learned to pretend to be sick and not go to court.The third brother is also similar, and those who mean it will not leave their mouths.
Yinhu looked at him with the same gaze, and after a while, he chuckled lightly, with a hint of mockery in his laughter.Shaking his head, he didn't speak, but followed the imperial army forward.
Both are princes, and both were born in a bag. The situation of the fourth child and the two of them is very different. He has been doted on since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't understand his own feelings.
In fact, he didn't want to be the emperor at the beginning, but he just wanted to attract the attention of his brothers in this way, especially the elder brother's.Obviously he is the closest brother to the eldest brother, but the eldest brother likes the fourth brother the most. No matter how hard he tries, the fourth brother is still the most important in the eldest brother's heart.
Even after the fourth brother, the elder brother cares most about the younger brother is himself, he still feels very uncomfortable.
Looking up at the sky, there is not a single star in the sky today, just like his mood.Yinhu sighed deeply. Later, he probably got used to fighting. If he didn't fight, he didn't know what else he could do, and he might end up losing sight of everyone.In this way, even if it fails, it can leave an impression in everyone's mind.
He didn't come to this world for nothing.
Kangxi came sooner than they expected, he didn't come by himself, he brought Concubine Ning, Liu Fujin and the beauties sent back to Beijing with Liu elder brother.
When she arrived at the palace, Concubine Ning waited specially on the way to meet with him. When she saw the sixth elder brother and the others coming, she rushed to the sixth elder brother and twisted his ear, regardless of the rules.
"Lao Liu, he doesn't care how you mess around on weekdays. Tell me what you are doing this time. Ah? If you want a woman, there is no woman in the palace. The women in Jiangnan are so good, they are worthy of you." Let someone escort you back to Beijing?"
Yin Zuo was not young when he followed her, and he already remembered things, so Concubine Ning seldom cared about him. As long as he didn't violate the palace rules, he basically just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, letting him grow by himself.It's not that Concubine Ning didn't want to, but that she was afraid that Brother Six would offend her.As for the matter of finger marriage, she first discussed it with the sixth elder brother, and she agreed to it only after the sixth elder brother said that Ulanara was good.It was the sixth elder brother who said that the concubine was troublesome, and she didn't even give a trial marriage maid.
Fortunately, the trip to the south of the Yangtze River brought back a few fairies.When Concubine Ning heard about this, she was so pissed off.Just like this, she was afraid that Ulanara would be provoked, and she wanted to recruit people to the palace to comfort her.
Inadvertently hearing that the emperor was going to Jiangnan, she begged the emperor to come along for the first time in disregard of the rules.
She was really afraid that Lao Liu would go astray.
Sixth elder brother was slightly stunned. Since childhood, no one except fourth brother had twisted his ears, and neither had that woman.Counting the days, he has been with Concubine Ning for almost ten years, and he can feel that Concubine Ning treats him cautiously and flatteringly.Frankly speaking, this kind of life is not what he wants.
The two of them are not mother and son at all, they are like superiors and subordinates, and he is naturally the one superior.
Today, although he was being scolded, he wanted to cry inexplicably.At this moment, he felt that he and Concubine Ning were mother and son.
Seeing the sixth son being scolded, the fourth elder brother was the first to speak out. He bowed to Concubine Ning, and then said: "Ms. Concubine Ning misunderstood, those were given to the sixth brother by the Cao family, and the sixth brother thinks they have The problem was also afraid that the Cao family would destroy the evidence, so they were sent to Beijing and handed over to Huang Ama."
After listening to the fourth elder brother's explanation, Ning Bin realized that she had misunderstood, she let go quickly, and was a little embarrassed to rub the sixth elder brother's ears.Sixth elder brother rubbed his ears and grinned, he said with a little dissatisfaction: "That's right, Er Niang, you don't know who I am, who knows what's wrong with those women, I can fall in love with them?"
After rubbing his ears for a while, he felt something was wrong again, "No, I wrote it clearly in my letter. What's the matter? Huang Ama didn't say it?" He told Huang Ama very clearly, he said that these women read As if, he suspected that it was specially trained by the Cao family, and asked Huang Ama to send someone to interrogate him carefully.
Concubine Ning shook her head, she said a little discouraged: "I only know that those few guards brought people into the palace to meet the emperor, and then the emperor sent people back to your mansion, otherwise I wouldn't be so angry." It's not that I heard that this is the woman Liu Ye brought from Jiangnan, why did she come here.
Thinking of this, she went on to say: "You, after seeing your Huang Ama in a while, go back and have a good talk with you Fujin. I see her getting thinner these days."
Speaking of which, she secretly glanced at the fourth elder brother.Because of the absurd thing that the sixth child did, Concubine Tong scolded the fourth elder brother a lot, saying that his elder brother was incompetent.
Yin Zuo's face was ugly, he nodded to Ning Bi, and strode forward, "I'll go to Huang Ama."
"Hey, hey" Concubine Ning stomped her feet angrily, wanting to stop her.
Yinzhen said, "Don't worry, Ma'am, I'll go and see my sixth brother."
Ning Po smiled gratefully: "Then I will be the fourth elder brother. The sixth elder brother is impulsive, so please mention him more." Even though he was a son who came along halfway, Concubine Ning also loved her as his own son, and the fourth elder brother was willing Concubine Ning was grateful from the bottom of her heart for taking care of him.
"Should be."
Eighth Prince's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyebrows, covering up his jealousy well.
After the ceremony, Yin Zuo said a little unhappy: "Huang Ama, haven't you received the superstition from my son? Why did someone send those women to the son's mansion? Aren't you looking for trouble for my son? "
Ulanara is good at everything, but he has been educated a little too "virtuous". He can think of Huang Ama's expression when she sends him back.
He must have arranged people with a smile on his face, and then wept silently behind his back.
Thinking about going to explain to her later, his head is getting big.
Kangxi almost didn't hold back the expression on his face, he admitted that he did it on purpose.The sixth guy will find trouble for him, and every time he provokes him, he wants to get angry but can't get angry. That feeling is too aggrieved.After finally seizing the opportunity to add trouble to Lao Liu, why didn't he do it.
He began to pretend to be confused, "What letter? You don't say that I almost forgot, I see that you have a good life in Jiangnan, and I am almost too happy to think about leaving."
Yinzuo refused to accept, "Huang Ama, you are hurting my son too much, you don't even know how busy Erchen is with the third and fourth brothers during this time."
The Cao family and the Li family are in the same spirit, even making mistakes. The people they picked up in Jiangning also confessed to many corrupt officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou.During this time they ran around and arrested many people.
According to this momentum, Jiangnan is bound to undergo a major change.
When it came to business, Kangxi didn't play around with his sons, he sat upright, and as his sons broke the news, his face became darker and darker, and finally kicked over the dragon case in front of him angrily.
The three backed away silently, avoiding the mess. As for the eighth elder brother, no one cared about him.
According to the testimonials of these people, there has been a long history of cheating in the Jiangnan imperial examinations, and the most serious ones are the last few times.
The imperial examination is held every three years, counting the days, it means that Jiangnan has been controlled by this group of people for ten years.All those who did not agree with each other were framed by them for various reasons, and they were either dismissed or put in prison.The remaining ones are more greedy than the other.
In fact, all three of them knew that the real situation was far more serious than this. They only checked a few prefectures in Jiangsu during this period. Jiangnan didn't only include Jiangsu, but they didn't dare to check in Anhui as well.
Because there are too many people involved in Jiangsu, if Anhui is also found out, I am afraid that the whole country will cause great turmoil.
Calming down his anger, Kangxi nodded, "You are right, these moths really can't be kept." According to their intention, those who are found out must be severely punished, and no matter what the result is, this group of people will definitely not be reused again.It is not insignificant to replace so many officials at once.
"Huang Ama, I have found some news from the Cao family, but..." Yinzhen paused and continued, "The Cao family is special after all, my minister..."
He was interrupted by Kangxi before he finished speaking, "Special? You can just tell me what you find out, but you are just a slave, what's so special about it."
Kangxi has one thing about him, love desires life and evil desires death. Before that, he trusted Cao Yin that he was his brother; now that he knows that the Cao family has done so many things behind his back, he can't wait to strangle him to death immediately. At that time, Cao Yin became a slave again.
Yinzhen only looked up at him, confirming that he was really disgusted, and then said: "In the Jiangnan imperial examination case, the minister, the third elder brother, and the sixth younger brother also tried the servants of the Cao family. According to the account, the Cao Li family set up a private bank to lend loans, and the interest rate was much higher than the Qing law, and they adopted the method of repaying the loan at rolling interest. According to the account, many people sold their children and daughters in order to pay off the money, and, There are also those who have nothing to sell and are forced to die."
After saying this, Yinzhen didn't dare to catch his breath.That nanny is Cao Li's dowry nanny. Usury is prohibited by the imperial court. I am afraid that people will find out. The less people know about this matter, the better, so Cao Li's handed it over to her.Now, in order to save her life, she betrayed Cao Li without hesitation.
The room was so quiet that one could hear even a needle being dropped, and I don't know how long it had passed before Kangxi said in a cold voice, "Is there any more?"
Yinzhen lowered his head, and he said: "Yes, it is about the fraud in the Jiangnan imperial examination. According to the investigation by Erchen and others, Mrs. Cao's Mrs. Sun was the first to contact this 'business'. At first, they were just for the convenience of their own people. Later, when it became profitable, it developed into an industry.”
"What's more, this year's test questions were also leaked, but fortunately, Erchen found out in time and returned the test questions before the exam started. After interrogation, Erchen found out that it was the eighth brother's side Fujin Cao family, and she wanted the Cao family to support the eighth brother , so I took this imperial examination as a testimonial." Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Because this time the Cao and Li families have more clansmen and in-laws, and there are other wealthy households who 'come here for fame'."
After he finished speaking, he retreated silently, and if he didn't retreat again, he was worried that Huang Ama would be angry and throw things at him and affect himself.
Kangxi didn't smash things as he imagined, he stared coldly at Brother Ba and said, "Business? Property? Come here for fame? Well, it's very good. Where are they?"
"When I found out about this matter, I originally wanted to take all the Cao family into custody, but Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Cao refused to accept it because she had milked the emperor. She, she scolded my son and others. , and drove them out. Erchen had no choice but to order people to surround the Ci'an Hall where she lived, and except to guarantee their daily needs, they were not allowed to do anything else, which was regarded as house arrest."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out another post, and waited for Wei Zhu to submit it before he said, "This is the menu for the Cao family's three meals a day."
Kangxi casually turned it over a few times and threw it on the plate. He said angrily: "What's so tricky about it?" He probably wouldn't be surprised when the dragon robe came out.
"This recipe seems simple, but in fact the process is very complicated. For example, there is a dish of roasted eggplant. It is said that dozens of duck tongues are used to simmer the soup. And these ducks grow up eating high-quality medicinal materials."
This time it was the third elder brother who answered. The matter of the Cao family was too irritating. He was worried that if the fourth brother would continue to talk about it, he would be angered by Huang Ama.
Kangxi looked through the recipe again, the more he looked at it, the angrier he became.Asking Wei Zhu to bring Mrs. Cao, he looked at Eighth Brother who was kneeling on the ground.
"Old Ba, you keep saying that my injustice has buried your talent. Is this what you call talent?" From the time Lao Ba said that he would bring Mrs. Cao to Jiangning, he knew that Lao Ba was not just for this imperial examination.But he still agreed, because he believed in his son and felt that he had a bottom line. Even if he wanted to win over Cao Yin, he would not ignore the Jiangnan students.
Today, after seeing so many confessions, he was surprised that he overestimated this son.
The eighth elder brother respectfully kowtowed to Kangxi, and he argued: "Huang Ama, I don't deny that the leakage of the imperial examination questions is because of myself, but you have to believe that it was not instructed by the minister. The minister did not I don't know."
At this time, he was still trying to get rid of himself, but it was a pity that Kangxi was not the fourth elder brother.He didn't believe that Lao Ba would be so confused when he said that he drank too much and was clichéd.Even if he drank too much alcohol, he should be sober after being asked such a confidential question, right?
The sixth child can find out about leaking questions, but the eighth child is smarter than the sixth child, why didn't he find out?Was it intentional or did he just slack off on this matter and never left Cao's house?
But no matter which one it was, it greatly reduced Kangxi's impression of him.
The heart is higher than the sky, but it will only sit back and enjoy the success.
There was nothing to talk about with such an old man. After that, Kangxi didn't even look at him, but only concentrated on the information investigated by the fourth elder brother and the others.When Mrs. Cao was brought over, he kicked everyone out, leaving only two people in the room.
It should be said that he was the one who served Kangxi before. Mrs. Cao knew Kangxi very well, and she could tell what mood he was in just by looking at his expression.She knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "Your Majesty, this old slave has owed you the grace of God, damn it."
She cried miserably, and Kangxi felt very uncomfortable seeing her.After a long time, he sighed and stepped forward to help him up.Seeing the tears and snot all over her face, he turned his head away, "Why did I know today? Could it be that what I gave you wasn't good enough?"
Regardless of the three festivals and two birthdays every year, although Cao Yin's official position is not high, what he gets is the salary of a third-rank official.There are also her natal family and Cao's family, each of which he gave a lot of preferential treatment.Her old daughter was even given a marriage by herself to a county king as the concubine Fujin.A few years ago, the treasury owed money, and Cao Yin said that he had no money to pay back, so he pushed the matter to Li Xu, and asked Li Xu to give him the money to find a way to pay back.Lao Jiu said that the ice in Jiangnan was not right, so he pretended to be confused.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Cao Yin must have gotten a kickback from it.At that time, he thought that Cao Yin was a loyal minister, and he had uncovered many corrupt officials for him, ensuring the tranquility of the Jiangnan area of the Qing Dynasty.It is right to give him some money.
Kangxi thought he was good enough to the Cao family, but he didn't expect that what was waiting was the betrayal of the Cao family.From top to bottom, from old to young, the Cao family is not clean.
He really wanted to ask, did the old lady think about him when she was doing this?Or did she come to this kind of place with confidence, thinking that she would never find out, or, even if she found out, she wouldn't do anything to her?
Mrs. Cao's face froze, this reaction didn't match what she expected?In her imagination, as long as she cried and said a few soft words, Kangxi should forgive her.
After all, she is the emperor's 'mother'.
This was said by Kangxi himself. He said more than once that he felt that Mrs. Sun took care of him like his own mother.
How can there be so much hatred for his mother.
After enjoying most of her life, Mrs. Cao doesn't want to die.She stretched out her hand to pull Kangxi's sleeve, her face full of remorse, "Your Majesty, I am all confused by this old slave. Zhuer is my favorite junior. She grew up watching her grow up. The old slave's heart softens when she cries. That's what's stupid."
Zhu'er is the Cao family, and her boudoir name is Cao Yuzhu.
In her heart, Cao Yuzhu got the test paper out of the eighth elder brother's mouth, and she couldn't escape the guilt.That being the case, why not put everything on her to protect yourself.
As for guilt?After all, that fleeting guilt is not as important as his own life.
She didn't know that if she sincerely admitted that Kangxi still had a sliver of affection for her, the rhetoric now consumed the last trace of affection in Kangxi's heart.
Kangxi closed his eyes, not wanting the other party to see the disappointment in his eyes.He turned his back to the Cao family, and said in a cold tone, "The Cao family has been doing the leaking for more than ten years, why? Cao Yuzhu knew how to make money in the womb, knowing how to make money?"
Cao Yuzhu is just a teenage girl, maybe she did what happened this time, and the previous things were also pushed on her, don't you think it's too fake?
Mrs. Cao was taken aback, and then lied.She smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty does not know that Yuzhu was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Her mother firmly believed that she would be successful in the future, so she prepared for her very early."
There is a folk saying that "the mother on the first day of the junior high school is the official on the fifteenth day". When Cao Yuzhu's birthday was written on the genealogy of Cao Yuzhu as the son on the night of the [-]th day of the new year, she said that she was afraid that it would be bad for her granddaughter, so she asked people to change it. When the time came, it was announced to the outside world that it was thirty years old.In fact, the granddaughter's birthday is the first day of junior high school.
Kangxi was very disappointed, he didn't want to talk to this liar again, the Sun family has changed a long time ago, she is no longer the one who wholeheartedly takes care of herself.It was life that had corroded her heart and made her hideous.
He pushed open the door and asked Mrs. Cao to be taken back. Only then did Sun start to panic, "Your majesty, your majesty, you can't. If you weren't an old slave, how could you still be standing here alive. You can't let go of the pain." Killing a donkey is detrimental to your wisdom."
What she said was not wrong, not to mention the royal family, but in other big families, it would be criticized if it was spread out by beating and killing the nanny.Generally speaking, even if the nanny made some mistakes, at most she would be "gloriously raised" in advance.
It was also for this reason that she was so confident.
Brother Six and others were waiting nearby. Hearing this, he stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Sun twice, cursing directly: "Fart, what are you, Huang Ama is blessed by God, even without you, he You will be safe and sound. On the contrary, you have enjoyed the glory for so many years, but you are not grateful, and made a heinous mistake relying on Huang Ama's trust. You don't know how to repent at the end, and you try to pour dirty water on Huang Ama. Vicious woman."
For Kangxi, the elder brothers respected them all, and Sun's words touched their backs, so it's strange that the elder brothers didn't go berserk.
Compared with Brother Six's series of words, Yinzhen was more ruthless. He said directly: "Cao Sun, your words made Ben Belle doubt the loyalty of the entire Cao family. As we all know, the rebellious party is active in Jiangnan all the year round. Could it be that You have already taken refuge in them, that’s why you said these words to give the rebels a reason to attack the royal family.”
The emperor has always used the banner of 'governing the world with filial piety', and he can imagine what will happen if this word gets out.Those so-called "anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty" people will definitely rise up and attack the imperial court.
Over the years, the emperor has worked hard to govern the people, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and has been working hard to promote the harmonious development between Manchu and Han.He felt that anyone from the previous dynasty with a bit of conscience would not destroy this peace.
What about those so-called 'righteous men'?They don't care about the survival of the people, what they want is the "Ming Dynasty" in their mouths.
Mrs. Cao looked at the fourth elder brother in surprise, and while she was in a daze, the third elder brother winked at the guards, and someone stepped forward to cover Sun's mouth and dragged him down.
The three of them looked at each other silently, they all knew that with the old lady's last voice, the Cao family was over.
Don't mention what Wei Lanxing said, and the subsequent emperor died of exhaustion in the dragon case for the sake of the country, just talk about the present.Huang Ama stayed at the desk day and night for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and the prince, as the heir, was also very busy.Every day is either a memorial or on the way of approving the memorial. Private time is very good, almost no.Fujin can't choose the one he likes, and has to sleep with different women according to the situation.I never dared to eat more than three mouthfuls, for fear of being discovered by others and being framed.
What good is it that no one dares to object except to order?No, there are still many censors in the court. If the decision is not what they want, this group of people will come back to give a deadly remonstrance.There are also other civil and military officials, many of whom are in groups.To be an emperor, you must always think about balancing their power, and you can't let one family dominate.
His scalp tingles just thinking about it.He didn't understand, it was obviously a pit of fire, why the old man was still rushing forward sullenly.
Look at the eldest brother, he just started to get impatient after helping with the palace affairs for a few days, he was not allowed to go to war, and he also learned to pretend to be sick and not go to court.The third brother is also similar, and those who mean it will not leave their mouths.

Looking up at the sky, there is not a single star in the sky today, just like his mood.Yinhu sighed deeply. Later, he probably got used to fighting. If he didn't fight, he didn't know what else he could do, and he might end up losing sight of everyone.In this way, even if it fails, it can leave an impression in everyone's mind.
He didn't come to this world for nothing.
Kangxi came sooner than they expected, he didn't come by himself, he brought Concubine Ning, Liu Fujin and the beauties sent back to Beijing with Liu elder brother.
When she arrived at the palace, Concubine Ning waited specially on the way to meet with him. When she saw the sixth elder brother and the others coming, she rushed to the sixth elder brother and twisted his ear, regardless of the rules.

Yin Zuo was not young when he followed her, and he already remembered things, so Concubine Ning seldom cared about him.

She was really afraid that Lao Liu would go astray.
Sixth elder brother was slightly stunned. Since childhood, no one except fourth brother had twisted his ears, and neither had that woman.Counting the days, he has been with Concubine Ning for almost ten years, and he can feel that Concubine Ning treats him cautiously and flatteringly.Frankly speaking, this kind of life is not what he wants.

He told Huang Ama very clearly, he said that these women read As if, he suspected that it was specially trained by the Cao family, and asked Huang Ama to send someone to interrogate him carefully.
Concubine Ning shook her head, she said a little discouraged: "I only know that those few guards brought people into the palace to meet the emperor, and then the emperor sent people back to your mansion, otherwise I wouldn't be so angry." It's not that I heard that this is the woman Liu Ye brought from Jiangnan, why did she come here.
Thinking of this, she went on to say: "You, after seeing your Huang Ama in a while, go back and have a good talk with you Fujin. I see her getting thinner these days."

Yinzuo refused to accept, "Huang Ama, you are hurting my son too much, you don't even know how busy Erchen is with the third and fourth brothers during this time."
The Cao family and the Li family are in the same spirit, even making mistakes. The people they picked up in Jiangning also confessed to many corrupt officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou.During this time they ran around and arrested many people.

The imperial examination is held every three years, counting the days, it means that Jiangnan has been controlled by this group of people for ten years.All those who did not agree with each other were framed by them for various reasons, and they were either dismissed or put in prison.The remaining ones are more greedy than the other.
In fact, all three of them knew that the real situation was far more serious than this. They only checked a few prefectures in Jiangsu during this period. Jiangnan didn't only include Jiangsu, but they didn't dare to check in Anhui as well.
Because there are too many people involved in Jiangsu, if Anhui is also found out, I am afraid that the whole country will cause great turmoil.
Calming down his anger, Kangxi nodded, "You are right, these moths really can't be kept." According to their intention, those who are found out must be severely punished, and no matter what the result is, this group of people will definitely not be reused again.It is not insignificant to replace so many officials at once.
"Huang Ama, I have found some news from the Cao family, but..." Yinzhen paused and continued, "The Cao family is special after all, my minister..."
He was interrupted by Kangxi before he finished speaking, "Special? You can just tell me what you find out, but you are just a slave, what's so special about it."
Kangxi has one thing about him, love desires life and evil desires death. Before that, he trusted Cao Yin that he was his brother; now that he knows that the Cao family has done so many things behind his back, he can't wait to strangle him to death immediately. At that time, Cao Yin became a slave again.
Yinzhen only looked up at him, confirming that he was really disgusted, and then said: "In the Jiangnan imperial examination case, the minister, the third elder brother, and the sixth younger brother also tried the servants of the Cao family. According to the account, the Cao Li family set up a private bank to lend loans, and the interest rate was much higher than the Qing law, and they adopted the method of repaying the loan at rolling interest. According to the account, many people sold their children and daughters in order to pay off the money, and, There are also those who have nothing to sell and are forced to die."
After saying this, Yinzhen didn't dare to catch his breath.That nanny is Cao Li's dowry nanny. Usury is prohibited by the imperial court. I am afraid that people will find out. The less people know about this matter, the better, so Cao Li's handed it over to her.Now, in order to save her life, she betrayed Cao Li without hesitation.
The room was so quiet that one could hear even a needle being dropped, and I don't know how long it had passed before Kangxi said in a cold voice, "Is there any more?"
Yinzhen lowered his head, and he said: "Yes, it is about the fraud in the Jiangnan imperial examination. According to the investigation by Erchen and others, Mrs. Cao's Mrs. Sun was the first to contact this 'business'. At first, they were just for the convenience of their own people. Later, when it became profitable, it developed into an industry.”
"What's more, this year's test questions were also leaked, but fortunately, Erchen found out in time and returned the test questions before the exam started. After interrogation, Erchen found out that it was the eighth brother's side Fujin Cao family, and she wanted the Cao family to support the eighth brother , so I took this imperial examination as a testimonial." Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Because this time the Cao and Li families have more clansmen and in-laws, and there are other wealthy households who 'come here for fame'."
After he finished speaking, he retreated silently, and if he didn't retreat again, he was worried that Huang Ama would be angry and throw things at him and affect himself.
Kangxi didn't smash things as he imagined, he stared coldly at Brother Ba and said, "Business? Property? Come here for fame? Well, it's very good. Where are they?"
"When I found out about this matter, I originally wanted to take all the Cao family into custody, but Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Cao refused to accept it because she had milked the emperor. She, she scolded my son and others. , and drove them out. Erchen had no choice but to order people to surround the Ci'an Hall where she lived, and except to guarantee their daily needs, they were not allowed to do anything else, which was regarded as house arrest."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out another post, and waited for Wei Zhu to submit it before he said, "This is the menu for the Cao family's three meals a day."
Kangxi casually turned it over a few times and threw it on the plate. He said angrily: "What's so tricky about it?" He probably wouldn't be surprised when the dragon robe came out.
"This recipe seems simple, but in fact the process is very complicated. For example, there is a dish of roasted eggplant. It is said that dozens of duck tongues are used to simmer the soup. And these ducks grow up eating high-quality medicinal materials."
This time it was the third elder brother who answered. The matter of the Cao family was too irritating. He was worried that if the fourth brother would continue to talk about it, he would be angered by Huang Ama.
Kangxi looked through the recipe again, the more he looked at it, the angrier he became.Asking Wei Zhu to bring Mrs. Cao, he looked at Eighth Brother who was kneeling on the ground.
"Old Ba, you keep saying that my injustice has buried your talent. Is this what you call talent?" From the time Lao Ba said that he would bring Mrs. Cao to Jiangning, he knew that Lao Ba was not just for this imperial examination.But he still agreed, because he believed in his son and felt that he had a bottom line. Even if he wanted to win over Cao Yin, he would not ignore the Jiangnan students.
Today, after seeing so many confessions, he was surprised that he overestimated this son.
The eighth elder brother respectfully kowtowed to Kangxi, and he argued: "Huang Ama, I don't deny that the leakage of the imperial examination questions is because of myself, but you have to believe that it was not instructed by the minister. The minister did not I don't know."
At this time, he was still trying to get rid of himself, but it was a pity that Kangxi was not the fourth elder brother.He didn't believe that Lao Ba would be so confused when he said that he drank too much and was clichéd.Even if he drank too much alcohol, he should be sober after being asked such a confidential question, right?
The sixth child can find out about leaking questions, but the eighth child is smarter than the sixth child, why didn't he find out?Was it intentional or did he just slack off on this matter and never left Cao's house?
But no matter which one it was, it greatly reduced Kangxi's impression of him.
The heart is higher than the sky, but it will only sit back and enjoy the success.
There was nothing to talk about with such an old man. After that, Kangxi didn't even look at him, but only concentrated on the information investigated by the fourth elder brother and the others.When Mrs. Cao was brought over, he kicked everyone out, leaving only two people in the room.
It should be said that he was the one who served Kangxi before. Mrs. Cao knew Kangxi very well, and she could tell what mood he was in just by looking at his expression.She knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "Your Majesty, this old slave has owed you the grace of God, damn it."
She cried miserably, and Kangxi felt very uncomfortable seeing her.After a long time, he sighed and stepped forward to help him up.Seeing the tears and snot all over her face, he turned his head away, "Why did I know today? Could it be that what I gave you wasn't good enough?"
Regardless of the three festivals and two birthdays every year, although Cao Yin's official position is not high, what he gets is the salary of a third-rank official.There are also her natal family and Cao's family, each of which he gave a lot of preferential treatment.Her old daughter was even given a marriage by herself to a county king as the concubine Fujin.A few years ago, the treasury owed money, and Cao Yin said that he had no money to pay back, so he pushed the matter to Li Xu, and asked Li Xu to give him the money to find a way to pay back.Lao Jiu said that the ice in Jiangnan was not right, so he pretended to be confused.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Cao Yin must have gotten a kickback from it.At that time, he thought that Cao Yin was a loyal minister, and he had uncovered many corrupt officials for him, ensuring the tranquility of the Jiangnan area of the Qing Dynasty.It is right to give him some money.
Kangxi thought he was good enough to the Cao family, but he didn't expect that what was waiting was the betrayal of the Cao family.From top to bottom, from old to young, the Cao family is not clean.
He really wanted to ask, did the old lady think about him when she was doing this?Or did she come to this kind of place with confidence, thinking that she would never find out, or, even if she found out, she wouldn't do anything to her?
Mrs. Cao's face froze, this reaction didn't match what she expected?In her imagination, as long as she cried and said a few soft words, Kangxi should forgive her.
After all, she is the emperor's 'mother'.
This was said by Kangxi himself. He said more than once that he felt that Mrs. Sun took care of him like his own mother.
How can there be so much hatred for his mother.
After enjoying most of her life, Mrs. Cao doesn't want to die.She stretched out her hand to pull Kangxi's sleeve, her face full of remorse, "Your Majesty, I am all confused by this old slave. Zhuer is my favorite junior. She grew up watching her grow up. The old slave's heart softens when she cries. That's what's stupid."
Zhu'er is the Cao family, and her boudoir name is Cao Yuzhu.
In her heart, Cao Yuzhu got the test paper out of the eighth elder brother's mouth, and she couldn't escape the guilt.That being the case, why not put everything on her to protect yourself.
As for guilt?After all, that fleeting guilt is not as important as his own life.
She didn't know that if she sincerely admitted that Kangxi still had a sliver of affection for her, the rhetoric now consumed the last trace of affection in Kangxi's heart.
Kangxi closed his eyes, not wanting the other party to see the disappointment in his eyes.He turned his back to the Cao family, and said in a cold tone, "The Cao family has been doing the leaking for more than ten years, why? Cao Yuzhu knew how to make money in the womb, knowing how to make money?"
Cao Yuzhu is just a teenage girl, maybe she did what happened this time, and the previous things were also pushed on her, don't you think it's too fake?
Mrs. Cao was taken aback, and then lied.She smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty does not know that Yuzhu was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Her mother firmly believed that she would be successful in the future, so she prepared for her very early."
There is a folk saying that "the mother on the first day of the junior high school is the official on the fifteenth day". When Cao Yuzhu's birthday was written on the genealogy of Cao Yuzhu as the son on the night of the [-]th day of the new year, she said that she was afraid that it would be bad for her granddaughter, so she asked people to change it. When the time came, it was announced to the outside world that it was thirty years old.In fact, the granddaughter's birthday is the first day of junior high school.
Kangxi was very disappointed, he didn't want to talk to this liar again, the Sun family has changed a long time ago, she is no longer the one who wholeheartedly takes care of herself.It was life that had corroded her heart and made her hideous.
He pushed open the door and asked Mrs. Cao to be taken back. Only then did Sun start to panic, "Your majesty, your majesty, you can't. If you weren't an old slave, how could you still be standing here alive. You can't let go of the pain." Killing a donkey is detrimental to your wisdom."
What she said was not wrong, not to mention the royal family, but in other big families, it would be criticized if it was spread out by beating and killing the nanny.Generally speaking, even if the nanny made some mistakes, at most she would be "gloriously raised" in advance.
It was also for this reason that she was so confident.
Brother Six and others were waiting nearby. Hearing this, he stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Sun twice, cursing directly: "Fart, what are you, Huang Ama is blessed by God, even without you, he You will be safe and sound. On the contrary, you have enjoyed the glory for so many years, but you are not grateful, and made a heinous mistake relying on Huang Ama's trust. You don't know how to repent at the end, and you try to pour dirty water on Huang Ama. Vicious woman."
For Kangxi, the elder brothers respected them all, and Sun's words touched their backs, so it's strange that the elder brothers didn't go berserk.
Compared with Brother Six's series of words, Yinzhen was more ruthless. He said directly: "Cao Sun, your words made Ben Belle doubt the loyalty of the entire Cao family. As we all know, the rebellious party is active in Jiangnan all the year round. Could it be that You have already taken refuge in them, that’s why you said these words to give the rebels a reason to attack the royal family.”
The emperor has always used the banner of 'governing the world with filial piety', and he can imagine what will happen if this word gets out.Those so-called "anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty" people will definitely rise up and attack the imperial court.
Over the years, the emperor has worked hard to govern the people, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and has been working hard to promote the harmonious development between Manchu and Han.He felt that anyone from the previous dynasty with a bit of conscience would not destroy this peace.
What about those so-called 'righteous men'?They don't care about the survival of the people, what they want is the "Ming Dynasty" in their mouths.
Mrs. Cao looked at the fourth elder brother in surprise, and while she was in a daze, the third elder brother winked at the guards, and someone stepped forward to cover Sun's mouth and dragged him down.
The three of them looked at each other silently, they all knew that with the old lady's last voice, the Cao family was over.
