Uncle Lin fell from the sky [Red Mansion + Qing Chuan]

But this time, no matter how much the ministers in the court discussed and wrote letters to persuade him, the emperor remained indifferent, completely acquiescing to let Lin Zizhen do what he did.

It's not that these ministers have no foresight, seeing the ugly behavior of those addicts with their own eyes, for such a bite, they really do anything.They also know the horror of this opium.

In their opinion, it is okay to quit smoking, but there is no need to be so harsh. It is a better way to learn slowly, why bother to be so unreasonable right away.

Yes, in order to ban smoking, the Royal Number Group, including Emperor Kangxi, the overlord, gathered people overnight to formulate temporary regulations on opium trafficking and opium smoking.

As soon as it was released, it caused a shock in the court. Many veterans who were originally supportive or neutral changed their attitudes, which is really too harsh.

Take a look at the regulations above, whoever gets involved in the opium trade, without knowing the reason, will be killed without mercy.Anyone who smokes opium will forcibly quit and be disqualified from becoming a scholar.

The first article is okay, but the second article directly caused protests from many officials. You must know that most of the smokers detected today are children of officials and honorable families. They agree to let the children quit forcibly, but I don't want to lose a great opportunity because the children go astray for a while.

Even though these children look delicious and fun now, there are not a few prodigal sons in ancient times. As parents, who doesn't look forward to their children's well-being.

In addition, following the news from below, many officials along the coast have become addicted to cigarettes. refreshing....

No one thought that just a little foreign smoke would bring about such terrible consequences.

Many of these people were well-respected officials of the Qing Dynasty, such as Du Ruming, who was born in the Han Dynasty and passed the imperial examination at the age of [-] to become a Jinshi.Knowledgeable, open-minded, the most important thing is to have a pragmatic heart for the people and the country. He was born in the Imperial Academy, and has worked in the officials, soldiers, and household departments. He has been rated as excellent every time. Government affairs govern the people, the rule is clear, and the people live in peace and prosperity.

He is only in his early forties now, not to mention he is highly respected by people in the court, even the Fourth Master values ​​him very much. Originally, he planned to transfer him back to the capital after the evaluation this year, and appoint him as a co-organizer.

Where do you think that such a thing has happened now, and because of this, many Han officials in the court firmly opposed it.Even though it is said that the Man-Han family is now, the contest between the two has always been there. Not to mention the admiration for Du Ruming's character, he is the mainstay of the Hanchen, where he can give up if he can.

What is rare is that the Manchu and Han factions, which have always liked to raise arguments, have unanimously raised their voices to the outside world this time. There is no other way. sharp.

Knowing that this is also the meaning of the above emperor and Taishanghuang, but they also have to argue.But all the spearheads were aimed at Lin Zizhen.

Among them are some officials who act as the umbrella for these foreign cigarettes, and they can't help but fish in troubled waters. Even though they already know the horrors of these opiums, they are willing to give up when they think of the huge benefits these cigarette sellers hand over every year. attitude, if this thorough investigation continues, it will be even more catastrophic.

So it is necessary to find a way to let this matter go to the end, the big deal is to let the cigarette sellers below be more disciplined, just turn from light to darkness.Anyway, this thing is addictive, as long as this period of time has passed, some people will find them to buy cigarettes in different ways, and even charge high prices, after all, there is no market for prices.

Thinking about it this way made my heart feel more at ease.Whatever the emperor is doing, you should be wary of all the officials in the hall. Someone is digging deep into Lin Zizhen, trying to find a sieve from him. Originally, you were a Beijing official whose parents died young and whose family was mediocre. How come there are courtyards, shops, and even Zhuangzi in the capital.

I don't know if I don't check it. After checking it, many officials couldn't help feeling sour.

The yard, shop, and Zhuangzi are all gifts from the current emperor and queen.And those valuables in his house, such as red coral pendant, white jade unicorn, authentic works of Li Baitai...

It was actually given by others, and they were all princes and princes.If it was sent by other officials, they could sue him for taking bribes and extorting money, but now that it involves princes and princes, this is not valid. Could it be that he is accused of colluding with princes and princes for treason, stop making trouble, and see The relationship between the family and the emperor.

As a result, there was a stalemate between the courtiers and the emperor.

At first, I thought it was a trivial matter, but now it became more and more difficult. Fourth Master couldn't help but rubbed his browbones. This was the first time since he became the throne, he faced the pressure of such opposition from his officials.Thinking of those officials who have been dismissed and returned to Beijing, Du Ruming, Qian Zhongnan, Qiqihar...

Many of them are optimistic about him, which is a pity.

Du Ruming just wanted to refresh himself, Qian Zhongnan did it because of a friend's recommendation, and Qiqihar had no other hobbies in his spare time, so he just liked to take two sips of shisha.

It's no wonder that the courtiers were unwilling to complain for them.

But for opium, if you start with it, you can’t set the rules with the power to destroy the dead and make everyone fear it. Once it spreads in the Qing Dynasty, it is bound to be more terrifying than the poison. Qing, let the foundation of the whole country rot.

Therefore, even if a group of innocent and affected people are sacrificed for this, it is not hesitating.

As for Lin Zizhen, knowing all this, he can only sigh. In order to avoid greater hidden dangers in the future, they must impose severe punishments now. Effective containment is already rare.

What he can do now is to keep himself busy, to investigate, to target those officials and nobles who are involved in cigarette trafficking and to provide them with protection, to find evidence, and to prevent them from having the opportunity to shirk their guilt.

And just when the capital was shrouded in a dull atmosphere, Baili was in a hurry, and shocking news came from Guangzhou and Fujian one after another, and the three counties under Fujian's rule were reversed.

It turned out that after the smoking ban was issued from above, all officials in Fujian were shocked, and the officials who smoked opium were temporarily dismissed from office, waiting to return to Beijing to report on their duties.

But some of these people are willing, and of course some are resisting.Some of them even colluded with the interest groups behind the cigarette sales. Many of them are local tyrants and landlords. They are unwilling to give up the huge interests behind the cigarette sales. Let them be dissatisfied for a long time, rather than being dealt with directly by this stubborn emperor, it is better to directly reverse it.

In addition to the second time, during the investigation by the Guangzhou Green Army, it was discovered that several remote villages had planted opium poppies throughout the village, and all of them were destroyed according to the order.Compensation in one place is worth long-term huge profits.

In the end, because of scruples about the elderly and children in the village, they were restrained everywhere, and many soldiers died here.

When the news came out one by one, there was an uproar in the hall, and many officials had recovered.The harm of opium not only destroys the skin and spirit of the human body, but also lures the people and leads them to rebel.I also understand why the emperor enacted such a severe criminal law. No amount of severe criminal law can be overstated when dealing with cigarette traffickers.

As for those officials who still wanted to fish in troubled waters, Lin Zizhen collected evidence in time and arrested them one by one.

Immediately afterwards, troops were sent to quell the chaos in Fujian, and a comprehensive anti-smoking campaign was launched across the country. Several coastal areas became the focus of attention. As Lin Zizhen and Prince Zhi went all the way south, smoking cessation camps continued to be established, and tobacco dealers were arrested. Caught and beheaded, accompanied by the smell of blood all the way, and several villages and villages where poppies were planted were also destroyed.

It is inevitable that some people will look at them with hatred. At the beginning, Lin Zizhen felt uncomfortable, but watching the poppies on the ground slowly burn to ashes in the flames, thinking of how many people and families could be spared from it. destroy.

He was relieved slowly, he insisted on a correct path, he clearly knew what he was doing, and it was fine.

In this way, Lin Zizhen and Prince Zhi chased the cigarette dealers all the way, and spent three years sorting out the coastal area of ​​the Qing Dynasty in detail. When there was an additional anti-smoking team in the local yamen, they also began to sit on the bus back to the capital. the way.

Prince Zhi lay carelessly on the deck of the bow, looking at the town that was getting farther and farther away.He couldn't help sighing: "Hey, the work of inspecting cigarette dealers is really more tiring than fighting." Thinking of the addicted white-haired old people who appeared in the way, and those who were still alive. The pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liujia even once encountered a situation where a village was covering each other, and he was in a panic.

"I'm going to take some military academy as the principal when I go back this time, to train the soldiers below, and never come out to suffer this bird's crime again. But this time I have suffered for three years. Go back and see what the emperor rewards you, and what else?" I don’t know if the credit this time is enough to be worthy of the hereditary prince. If it is true, the master will far surpass the second brother, and the ranking of the second child is really nice."

Lin Zizhen has gotten used to the temperament of the straight prince next to him. I don’t know if it’s because he’s getting older, and he likes Sui Sui Nian more and more. Apart from showing off his daughter and son with Lin Zizhen, the one thing he will never forget is Have a long and short conversation with Prince Li.

Thanks to him, Lin Zizhen also knew a lot of big and small things about the prince.For example, Prince Li is afraid of thunder and limp bugs. He used to scare him with a tiny caterpillar and call him brother. Like a woman, he likes to make perfume and make rouge. She's a bitch... .

From Prince Zhi's mouth, Lin Zizhen felt that Prince Li was a person who knew how to live and had a great interest in life, but the uncle in front of him was probably a brat since he was a child.

Seeing that he didn't speak, this one started again.

"I don't know what the emperor thinks. Is it just a reform of the scientific examination? Everyone knows it. What credit should be given to the second child? Hmph, if you don't kneel when you see the saint, I'm afraid there will be a king soon." Hereditary. This time I will be promoted one step ahead of him no matter what I say."

Lin Zizhen felt the sea breeze with his eyes closed, but he thought in his heart that the restructuring of the scientific examination would be faced with obstacles from scholars all over the world. There are many great Confucian scholars and many celebrities, all of whom turned blue in refutation. This reform is not so simple.

After all, this is the first time that the scientific research does not focus solely on Confucianism, but involves a variety of disciplines.There is even a small Enke, who has another chance after the imperial examination, commonly known as the professional talent examination.

In addition, this man not only made great Confucians and celebrities retreat, but also almost became the object of fear among scholars in the world today. The main reason is that they reformed the Guozijian, and at the same time made all the bookstores and schools in the Qing Dynasty join the examination system. , Developed the county school list, provincial school list.

Let students truly feel every bit of their progress, and parents can intuitively understand their children's learning status. At the end of each month, many children can enjoy the education of love from their parents-bamboo shoots fried meat.

And Prince Li was promoted logically to become the Great Demon King in the hearts of scholars all over the world. After a few years, he could still make Prince Zhi's precious grandson cry.
