Chapter 413: The Imperial Proof (Part 2)
Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi took the paper that the nine-door admiral Longkodo personally delivered, and his face was gloomy.
This letter was written by the mother of the former governor of Liangjiang, Gali, and recorded by the secretary of the Infantry General Office, and it is said:
My son Gali ordered the kitchen servants to poison me and wanted to kill me. These evils were all conspired by my young son Seerqi and Gali's son Gandu. Gali also used Seerqi's son Gantai to think of his own son and asked his wife to raise him privately. The rich man in the family also allowed his wife and close friends to live in Hexi, but he didn't know what the purpose was. Gali was treacherous and vicious, so he asked for the punishment of the righteous decree.
Gali was originally a successor, and Kangxi was always kind. Those who were unconscious outside were not worried. It was said that Gali was Kangxi's breast brother, and Gali's mother was Kangxi's wet nurse. In fact, it was a false saying.
The wet nurses and nanny selected by the royal family were coated with three flags, but the Gali family was on the Manchurian red flag.
Gali was a royal relative. In the words of what Kangxi once said, he was "the son of the concubine's brother's brother". His father Pushan was the younger brother of Ning Sei Concubine Shunzhi, and the uncle of Prince Yu Fuquan. He himself was Fuquan's cousin.
Shunzhi had no legitimate son, and the concubines had the highest blessings among them. The throne was not the same as Kangxi.
Before Shunzhi died, he asked the two little brothers about their ambitions on his sickbed. Fuquan replied, "I am willing to be a wise minister", while Kangxi replied, "I am willing to follow the example of Emperor Ama as a wise ruler!"
Although this was a joke by children, it was not the main reason why Shunzhi established Kangxi as the crown prince. However, in Kangxi's heart, he always remembered his brother's "grateful grace".
In the past, Kangxi had some thoughts of loving the house and promoting the ranks of Gali. However, Gali was not very good at fighting, and his heart could be punished when he was on both ends of the rat.
As early as when Soetu took over power, Gali had private contact with Soetu. At that time, Kangxi had criticized Zhu. A few years ago, in Jiangnan, Gali, the second and eighth princes were a little confused.
More than ten years ago, Kangxi was able to tolerate Gali and curse the ministers and scold them; more than ten years later, his mind was no longer as tolerant as he was in his prime.
However, even if the evidence of Gali's corruption and bribery was conclusive, Kangxi only approved the punishment of dismissal from office.
When people get older, they become suspicious and irritable, but they also become more nostalgic and nostalgic.
Even if you are the emperor, you cannot stop the sadness of your twilight years.
Although Gali was greedy for ink, "filial piety" was praised by Kangxi himself, which is also an important reason why he did not seriously blame Gali for ink.
Kangxi always governed the country with "benevolence and filial piety", and also praised the "filial son" among civil and military officials, including Gali.
Now, the "filial son" Gali, who was praised by Kangxi, has exposed his evil deeds to kill his mother. How could Kangxi not become popular? Isn't this slap him in the face, and what?
After seeing this, Kangxi couldn't help but slammed the table and said angrily: "Bastard, there are so many consciences in the world!"
Longkodo knelt in front of the emperor, bowing his head and daring not to speak.
Longkodo knew a lot about his elder brother-in-law, and he knew what Kangxi was upset. He didn't dare to get into trouble at this critical moment, so he could only bow his head and use the word "silence".
Kangxi stood up and remembered the mother of Gali, Jueluo, who was a reasonable old woman, and said, "What's Jueluo now? Is the old man still strong?"
Longkodo replied: "When I say to Master Wansui, I feel that Mr. Luo was frightened because he was blocked from coming to the yamen. The situation was not good. After recording the complaint, heshuo's prince and the minister of the Taipu Temple, Lord Cao, had already sent someone to invite a doctor to take care of him in the yamen."
Kangxi couldn't help but frown and said, "Cao Yong is not in the Taipu Temple Yamen, how could he run to the Infantry Chief Yamen?"
Longkodo replied: "According to Master Long Sui's words, as Master Cao said, I met on the way. When he saw that the son of Gali, Gandu, brought people to stop Jueluo, was quite disrespectful when he was in the process. He asked him. He was also entrusted by Jueluo, and he escorted him to the yamen of the infantry commander."
Although Longkodo is concise and concise, he also uses some spring and autumn brushwork. The words "disrespect" and "escort" reveal the danger.
It was still in broad daylight. In the inner city of Kyoto's capital, there were rebellious sons and grandsons who committed crimes on the street.
Over the past ten or twenty years, Kangxi also had a knot in his heart after the princes grew up one after another. How could there be few emperors who killed their father and ascend the throne in all dynasties?
In the early years, when Kangxi was expeditioning the West, he was almost buried in the frontier because he had cut off supplies. Fortunately, Gali came from the left censor Yu Chenglong to supervise the transportation of the middle route of the army and food, and first arrived at the imperial camp, relieving the danger of the food being cut off.
After a detailed investigation, although there was no evidence to prove that the food was caused by the crown prince who was in charge of the capital, it was deeply pricked in Kangxi's heart.
As he grew older, he felt fear of his older sons.
Yes, although he himself refused to admit the fear, the kind of defense that was deeply rooted in his bones became increasingly impossible to eradicate.
It is precisely for this reason that the "Trust the Ki-Yi Hui-Drinking Case" that year caused such a big storm, and all the relevant Eight Banners military officers were punished, but none of them were spared.
On the contrary, the civil officials who first joined forces and jointly recommended the Eighth Prince as the crown prince were actually thunderous and rainy.
Because civil officials are just talking and have no power to shake the sky; the military positions of the various garrisons in the capital may directly threaten the lives of the emperor. That is, no emperor can tolerate it.
I heard that Luo’s family is old, and her son holds a grudge against her and wants to kill her; I am also old, and there are a few brothers who have no selfishness, I’m afraid someone has already had that thought...
Thinking of this, Kangxi could no longer help, walked to the imperial case, wrote a pen and drafted the order, and fell to Longkodo and said, "Transfer my order, and immediately attacked Gali and others, the three departments..."
He originally wanted to say that the Three Departments will be tried, but he changed his words halfway through the conversation: "I ordered the Ministry of Justice to make a quick trial. I must know the details before leaving Beijing!"
The head of the Ministry of Justice was the Eighth Prince. Gali had relied on the Eighth Prince when he was in Jiangnan. What would Lao Ba do with his former followers?
Longkodo quickly picked up the imperial edict with both hands, held it, and said, "Yeah!"
Kangxi felt annoyed and waved his hand and said, "Kneel down and rest!"
Longkodo responded and retreated to the door.
Kangxi thought of Cao Yong and wanted to call Longkodo and asked him to warn Cao Yong to meddle in other people's business, but he still didn't say much when thinking about Cao Yong's always benevolent.
When Longkodo retreated, Kangxi sat dejectedly on the chair and rubbed his forehead. In recent days, he seemed to be becoming more and more indecisive, and he was really old...

In Chongwenmen, the Infantry General Office and the Three Halls.
Jue Luo sat on the chair and drank a bowl of ginseng soup to calm down a little.
According to the rules, the person who knocked on the throne would have to be a hundred shots without any responsibility. It was just because she was old and was a victim, and Longkodo was not a rigid person, so she asked her to sit in the third hall first.
Whether to detain the Dutong Yamen or hand over to the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple, we have to wait for the sage.
The old man sat upright and said to Cao Yong: "I have been tired and delayed for a long time. Please go back first. This involves my Dong E family affairs. If Lord Cao is criticized, I will feel even more ashamed."
Jueluo is in his seventies and is alone. He comes here to complain about his children and grandchildren. The situation is really miserable. However, because Longkodo has personally confessed the complaint to the imperial court, the case must be arranged to be tried by the yamen.
Even if it is an imperial decree and a miserable, the old lady still has to be imprisoned first. Even if Cao Yong wants to help, he has only managed the inside and outside, so that Jueluo's life will be more comfortable.
Dong Ejinghui was sent to Cao's mansion, but the mansion was pregnant and sick, and Cao Yong was really worried.
Cao Yong calculated the time. The yamen that Longkodo left was just a moment ago (2:15 pm) and went to Changchun Garden. Even if it was a quick horse, it would take two or three hours to go back and forth. It would be great if you could rush back in front of the gate of Guancheng.
Although Jueluo said to ask Cao Yong to return first, Cao Yong couldn't bear to leave before the imperial edict was issued. He went out to look for Cao Fang and said, "I'm afraid I can't leave this place for the time being. Send someone to the yamen and the mansion, and then send someone to Haidian Garden and ask the waiter to return to the city!"
Cao Fang agreed, and Cao Yong remembered the matter of money again and said, "By the way, I'll take more money from the mansion's account, I'm afraid I'll have to settle some later!"
Cao Fang went down to arrange for someone not to mention it, but Cao Yong himself sighed.
This incident happened to the Dong E family, and I felt that Luo was sad, but Jinghui's situation became increasingly unbearable. No one could guarantee whether the waiter was infatuated or had a temporary warmth.
Even though the waiter is infatuated, Zhaojia's side is really a headache.

Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.
It is said that family scandals should not be made public, but because my grandmother went to complain, the matter could not be hidden. Because she was close to Chu Yu, Jinghui explained the family changes in a few words.
Chu Yu was so shocked that he opened his eyes wide when he heard that he had such a traitor.
After Jinghui finished speaking, she thought that her grandmother and herself were already homeless, and her life experience was so sad that she kept crying.
Chu Yu sat on the kang, holding Jinghui's hand, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she also shed tears.
Although Jinghui was worried about her grandmother and was full of anxiety, she didn't dare to be too sad when she saw Chu Yu erecting her big belly, for fear that Chu Yu would be anxious.
Therefore, she wiped her tears and said, "It's all bad for my sister. I shouldn't tell my cousin's wife about these things. I'm so tired that my cousin's wife is worried."
Chu Yu also knew that crying was useless, so he wiped the tears and said, "Good sister, with your cousin following the old lady, the arrangements are made safely, so you should not be anxious, which hurts your mind, but will make the old lady sad."
When Jinghui heard this, she felt ashamed and murmured: "My cousin's wife, my sister has received great kindness from her cousin's sister-in-law and has not yet been rewarded. Now she is troubled by her cousin's wife!"
Chu Yu patted her hand and said, "What are you doing when you say these heretics? When I lived in Yizhou, I really thought you were my sister. Although I have seen you in Beijing few times, I am also thinking about you."
Even Gan knew that he had committed a huge disaster, so he let his mother beat and scolded her, lowered her head and did not avoid dodging.
Gali's wife spitted on her face and cursed, "Who are you showing me your face to cry? I've known for a long time that you are jealous of your brother, and you have complained about the master and asked him to seek fame for Tai'er. You don't urinate, just like your virtue, how can you be the master's son! If you have a little conscience, you will bear the blame yourself. Don't implicate the master. Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost..."
After Gali's wife scolded her, she didn't know if she could not listen or not. She just said this, and she really felt hope in her heart. She turned around, pulled Gali's arm, and said, "Master, yes, yes, this is not the work of the master. What's the matter of the master? Let's go to the yamen to find the old lady and explain it to the old lady clearly. If you ask for a crime, just look for the undesired son."
Hearing this, Gan Du raised his head and clenched his fists and said, "Ama, my mother said, my son will surrender himself at the yamen now. The mushrooms were sent by his son, and Ama didn't know."
"Yes, yes, that's what it should be!" A little surprise appeared on Gali's wife.
Gali heard this mess and coughed, and the room immediately became clean.
Gali looked at his wife and adopted son standing beside him, then looked at his younger brother and son who were kneeling in front of him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "What are you trying to do, why bother with yourself? Since the old lady is accusing me of being disobedient and unfilial, then I will be the one who is being cut and cut."
Gali's wife and Gan were still trying to persuade her again. Gali stood up and said, "Call me immediately to prepare hot water. Master, I want to take a shower and change clothes..."
Seeing that his father was like this, Gan Du patted his chest hard and cried loudly.
