134. Natural and man-made disasters

Under the sky, is it the king's land, or the king's minister. (eng.com) It is also a trivial matter to the great things and the emperor's level. Kangxi only wrote a group of imperial pens, and the Ministry of Personnel added an additional bachelor's quota. The chairman appointed someone to take the position, and the original thirty deputy director positions were added to thirty deputy director positions. This matter is not difficult at all, and the Human Resources Department could not refuse it.

However, Emperor Kangxi had just finished the approval of the Ministry of Personnel. After turning to the next book, it turned out to be a memorial submitted by Li Guangdi to Emperor Kangxi in a name, asking the emperor to forgive Chen Menglei.

Li Guangdi's memorial said: "...My uncle Rifeng sneaked to his house to inquire, Menglei burst into tears and said that he was to endure and live a secret life, and his crimes should be dead. However, for a moment, he should spread rumors, leave his generals and disperse their hearts, so that he could repay the country. My uncle replied that he knew that his heart was not lost." Li Guangdi also said that Chen Menglei had "... said that the enemy's power was empty, and he sent people to welcome the army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he was questioned at the gates. He said in detail that all the false and realities were in fact, and he ordered him to return to me. This secret agreement twice, and he knew that his heart was really understandable.... He asked the Holy Emperor to make a clear review."

Emperor Kangxi was a little stunned after reading it. This was a memorial to plead for his friend. After recalling it, Kangxi suddenly remembered that Li Guangdi was still vaguely involved in a "selling friend case" related to the wax pill incident. Unfortunately, Kangxi was neither a scholar of Qing history nor a complete book of treasures in his previous life. He had no idea about the causes and consequences of the seller case. He had to send someone to summon Gao Shiqi to ask him about Chen Menglei's life trivial matters.

Gao Shiqi has been in a bad mood recently, because Kangxi suddenly valued the Hanlin Secretariat Zhang Yushu and asked him to help the General Business Association. There were also traffic at the entrance of the mansion. It was like a prosperous person in the capital. It was really annoying. That day, the emperor suddenly summoned him, and Lao Gao immediately rushed into the palace to meet him. When the queen met the saint heard Kangxi's words and Chen Menglei, Gao Shiqi hesitated. It was not that he didn't know, it was too subtle.

Gao Shiqi was the opportunity to compile the official archives list, carefully studied the resumes of previous officials, and had a lot of experience in political background and close relationships. A while ago, Kangxi asked Shi Lang, but Gao Shiqi answered in a proper manner. Old Shi was promoted and went to Dalian to perform as a navy army. This time, Chen Menglei was involved in Li Guangdi again. Maybe he would still have to behead his head, which was really difficult to deal with.

Gao Shiqi straightened out his ideas and answered carefully: "Your Majesty, Chen Menglei was a Hou Guan from Fujian. He was born in the seventh year of Shunzhi. He was smart and quick when he was young, and he studied tirelessly. He became a scholar at the age of 12 and became a juren at the age of 19. He became a Jinshi in the ninth year of Kangxi. He was elected as a Shujishi and was appointed as an editor after the Sanguan. In the twelfth year of Kangxi, he took leave due to his father's illness and returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. Later..., he experienced the Three Feudal Rebellion, and his ministers did not know much about the experience."

Woo, less than a hundred words, Gao Shiqi simplified a person. The meaning of the last sentence is the most critical, "I don't even know the experience of Chen Menglei's Three Feudal Rebellion."

Kangxi smiled and nodded and said, "Well, I understand, Gao Aiqing doesn't know much about this. Therefore, Gao Qing might as well go and find out if there are anyone who knows the information and the past details, and you must clearly distinguish them."

Gao Shiqi immediately felt sad. He received the order and walked out of Nanshu. He could no longer hold back his face. He frowned and began to feel depressed. This matter was clearly a rift between Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei. What's wrong with me? Besides, don't think that they are both fellow Fujianese and Jinshi. Once they fight for power and profit for the sake of officialdom, they will not even recognize relatives, let alone major issues related to life and death.

Before Ding You, Li Guangdi was appointed as a bachelor's student, and it was a talent for rebellious rebellion recommended by Prince Kang Jieshu. Chen Menglei had been silent for a long time since returning to his hometown to visit his relatives. He only heard that he had been recruited as an aide by King Geng Jingzhong of Jingnan. At this time, the emperor asked about it, and naturally, it was because of the crime of "addictiveness".

Gao Shiqi had long heard that Xu Hongbi, the remnant of Geng Jingzhong, sued Chen Menglei for the position of "bachelor" in order to escape the crime. The Ministry of Justice is investigating the case, and the top and lower levels of Kyoto are rumored. Gao Shiqi understands very well that no one can tell the difference between the accomplice of the rebellion. However, when parents, wives and small tribesmen are in their hometown in Fujian, they are just Geng Jingzhong. They are detained by Geng Ni's army. They cannot escape even if they do not bow their heads and surrender. Everyone is a scholar who cannot take the lead and cannot raise ordinary people. You can understand it by thinking about it. However, the reputation of loyalty and righteousness is probably a loss.

...

Gao Shiqi left the forbidden palace and returned to the mansion. After changing into casual clothes, he prepared a famous post to visit Xu Qianxue, the Minister of Justice. In fact, officials in the same dynasty can always speak, not to mention that they were considered as Jinshi in the same subject, which was a personal relationship with classmates, which was different from others. When Xu Qianxue heard Gao Shiqi's intention, he immediately held his arm and asked him to go into the study to discuss secretly. No one complained in private:

"Danren, Li Jinqing did this very unreasonable. At that time, both of them were trapped in Geng Ni's subordinates. If Chen Youzhen and Geng Nixu were not helped and there was no one to help him, why would the relatives and relatives of the Li family be unharmed? Moreover, Chen Youzhen was young and smart, and was a Jinshi with us. I guess he would not be able to see through the situation, so how could he be determined to be a thief?"

Gao Shiqi said silently. He also felt strange about this matter, but he could not say it without any evidence.

Senior Xu Qian sighed and took out a secret letter and handed it to Gao Shiqi. It turned out to be a private message from Chen Menglei to Xu Qianxue. The letter said: I told Brother Jian'an that in the 13th year of Kangxi, Geng Ni rebelled. Because Geng Jingzhong placed Chen's father under house arrest and forced Chen Menglei to surrender, Chen had no choice but to follow, not because of his original intention. Moreover, Li Guangdi was also invited at that time, and famous Fujian scholars had some family members or were detained, and they were not right.

Chen Menglei and Li Guangdi secretly talked in Fuzhou: Chen Menglei was the internal rebel party and asked for information; while Li Guangdi contacted outside to instigate the rebels, and asked the Qing army to join in front of the mountain road communication army to suppress the rebels; Chen Menglei also planned to request a draft of the army, and the two of them jointly named them and told the court to express their loyalty.

Later, Li Guangdi escaped with the words of "father's disease" and hid in the middle of the mountain to support him. Chen Menglei stayed under Geng Jingzhong's command to spy on military aircraft, conveyed news of the enemy camp, and was responsible for protecting the safety of Li Guangdi's family and the elderly. Unexpectedly, the two of them discussed the draft of the request for troops that should have been jointly signed by Li Guangdi, but they were secretly tampered with by Li Guangdi and sealed in a wax ball. They sent their confidants to exclusively sign the article and submitted it to the court. This matter is not concerned about how many fame, fortune, and the matter is related to their wealth and life. How can someone else's name be deleted at will?

Chen Menglei initially thought that he had learned everything about his undercover affairs. Later, Geng Jingzhong was defeated and arrested, and the court suddenly started to prosecute all the rioters. Chen Menglei's name was listed on the list of Geng's accomplices. Chen Menglei was anxious and angry and vomited blood. The infernal Affairs was too realistic. The single-line contact officer "falled to death". It was fine if the undercover background had no credit, but it turned into a criminal case. It was really deadly. Chen Menglei had no choice but to sit and wait for death. He immediately wrote to his old classmate Xu Qianxue, who was a senior executive in the ** Police Department, and asked Brother Jian'an to help verify whether he was an undercover identity.

After reading the letter, Gao Shiqi looked very sympathetic and sympathized with Chen Menglei's situation at this time. Anyone who was in danger of being held by a knife or being held hostage to his biological father would probably have a calm and calm attitude. Those who could serve the country and the emperor with their lives and go to death with great pride, probably had more people in the Han and Song dynasties, and had already withered by the Ming and Qing dynasties. Hong Chengchou, King Pingxi, King Jingnan, and King Dingnan were all obtained by turning against each other in the last battle. The lessons of the past are vivid. If you talk about topics of noble character, you may have to commit suicide. The lives of ordinary people are like ants, and you are just peaceful. Anyway, you have to pay taxes and rents to change the dynasty and live. Who cares about the emperor?

Chen Menglei must be blamed for this matter. If you make friends carelessly and mislead by mistake, you will kill people. What's more, it's too late to clear the relationship between undercover things. Who dares to blatantly admit that you have an affair with the enemy's aides and contact military affairs? At that time, Li Guangdi threw the wax balls, and was checked several times by the police station. The confidant who helped Li Guangdi deliver wax balls was also detained in prison for many days. This situation cannot be explained clearly by opening a few mouths.

...

After Gao Shiqi returned, he thought about the case that was not bad at all. However, Kangxi asked him to participate in the investigation. He did not come to a conclusion that he was lazy in his work. Gao Shiqi simply wrote a memorial to the emperor. Gao Shiqi could not comment on who was right or wrong, but only described a few facts on the surface.

1. Chen Menglei and Li Guangdi are close relationships between fellow townsmen and classmates.

2. At the end of the 12th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Chen Menglei and Li Guangdi took leave at the same time in the name of begging for relatives in the hometown of the countryside, and left the capital and returned to their hometown in Fujian.

3. In March of the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, King Geng Jingzhong of Jingnan rebelled against Fuzhou. He was a famous scholar in Fujian and was given official positions, and forced the scholars to rebel together.

4. In June of the 14th year of the Kangxi reign, the court received the "Mianchen Jiyi Memorial" submitted by Li Guangdi's confidant Xia Ze. At that time, officials in the capital said that Xia Ze "came from the thief and were worried that there would be changes, so they dare not hear it."

5. Fu Hongji, a Cabinet Scholar from Quanzhou, used his family as a guarantee, and on the same day, he gave a wax ball to the emperor on behalf of Li Guang's land.

6. In September of the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Prince Kang Jie wrote a letter from Kexianxia Pass in Quzhou, Jianning and Yanping, and into Fuzhou. In October of that year, Geng Jingzhong asked to surrender.

7. Chen Menglei claimed that he had made a secret agreement with Li Guangdi in Fuzhou. Chen Menglei was affiliated with Geng Ni to separate the rebels, to find out the truth and report to Li Guangdi to inform the Qing court. Chen Menglei planned a draft of the request for troops from Chen Zhu, and should have signed it with Li Guangdi together.

8. However, Li Guangdi only admitted that he had secretly made an appointment with Chen Menglei twice and had studied the general situation of the enemy. As for the secret document of the wax pills, there was no saying that Chen Menglei was named.

The detailed process of the incident and the situation is reported as mentioned above. I would like to ask my emperor to give a clear explanation.

...

Kangxi laughed silently after reading this memorial. Lao Gao was really smart and knew that he couldn't tell the difference. He finally broke the dispute over intellectual property infringement into the emperor. Among them, there were Chen Yongren-like figures who lurked in the undercover agents in the underworld, spyed on the enemy's situation, and became real and were tired. Unfortunately, his surname was Chen...

Kangxi remembered the lyrics of the Infernal Affairs line. Who knows that survival is often more cruel than fate, but no one is willing to admit defeat. Regardless of whether Chen Menglei really went undercover or not, Kangxi had even sympathized with his situation. Anyone who entered the Infernal Affairs has no hope of liberation. If he did not have such thoughts, he would have been honestly punished. Chen Menglei thought he was the righteous identity of an undercover agent, but he was hacked. It is difficult to judge this matter. "Time is endless" and he suffered from all the time. "Empty and no space" suffered from all the time.
