Chapter 729: Xiaozhuang's Horqin Obsession (6)
Under the intervention and subtlety of Qiao Mu, those Han ministers in the court who had been suppressed by the four auxiliary ministers finally relieved themselves, and actively moved closer together, stood behind Qiao Mu, and began to support Qiao Mu together.
I hope to gain a foothold in the court, and hold a certain amount of power and have the right to speak, so that it is convenient to seek some benefits for their Han people.
So as not to be bullied too much.
In any case, whether it is an ethnic group or a region, someone must be an official at the top, in order to win certain interests for his family, so as not to be bullied too badly, just like the Ming Dynasty had a long period of time, officials were almost monopolized by southerners, it is precisely because most of the people above the court are southerners, so they will give special preferential treatment to their own families, if people sit in the position of high-ranking officials, do not seek benefits for their hometowns.
That will be poked in the back by others.
Qiao Mu didn't have much to do now, so he could only do his best to do what he could to help improve the status of those Hanchens.
After such an operation by arbor.
The situation in the court immediately became tense.
However, the overall situation of the country, especially the living atmosphere of the Han people in the whole world, has improved a lot, and it is no longer as depressing as before, and those banner people who have nothing to do are also well restrained.
The number of bullies and dominants is much less.
As for the many changes, this arbor can't do anything for the time being, after all, the people in charge of the army in the court are basically Manchu ministers, and the current children of the Eight Banners are far less rubbish than the late Qing Dynasty, and the overall quality is not bad, so the arbor will ease the contradictions a little at most, and no matter how much she can't do it.
In August of the third year of Kangxi, after Qiao Mu once again issued a special decree to sentence a Manchu county king who robbed the people's daughter, the four auxiliary ministers finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked to see Qiao Mu together.
At the same time, he also carried the banner owners.
I want to enter the Ci'an Palace together to see the arbor.
Ask for an explanation.
Qiao Mu was completely expected of their coming, so he did not deliberately avoid them, but directly agreed to their request.
And took them all to Ci'an Palace.
They were formally summoned.
As soon as they entered, they casually made a perfunctory salute according to etiquette, and then they all stood up and arched their hands, and said in a very loud voice:
"Empress Dowager, what do you want to do?
Coren just robbed a Han Chinese woman, why are you so angry, not only stripped him of his title, but also exiled Ningguta.
It's just a Han Chinese.
Even if you want to curry favor with Hanchen, you shouldn't be like this, you are against my Eight Banners! ”
Sonny is a big generation, and he is also the head of the four auxiliary ministers set by the first emperor, so he naturally stood up first and questioned impassionedly.
Others then chimed in.
The flag owners on the side are even more the same.
In particular, the Yellow Flag Owner of Cologne, who was exiled, was even more angry.
felt that the arbor was targeting them.
The echoing voices are all louder than the others.
"If you break the law, you will naturally be condemned.
If you want to live in harmony with the Han people and continue to rule them, then you must learn to treat them equally, otherwise Yuanmeng is a precedent, and the Mongol Empire has collapsed in the same way, let alone now?
What you are indignant about is nothing more than that you think that the banner people should have privileges, what's the matter, don't you still want to restore the racial hierarchy of Yuanmeng?
The corruption of the law is the first to break the law from the person who made the law, don't think that a little thing is nothing, the truth that a thousand miles of embankment collapses in an anthill, I think you should not know, so what else do you have to ask? ”
Since Qiao Mu let them in and let them speak, it was naturally impossible to be unprepared.
"Empress Dowager, don't forget that my Manchu and Mongolian clans are the foundation of rule, those Han people are just soft bones, who dares to rebel because of a people's daughter, you are too much of a fuss.
Do you know that your behavior has made many banner people very dissatisfied, even if you are the queen mother, then you can't be so presumptuous, this world is my Jurchen world after all, not your Mongolian world, and ask the queen mother to take back her life, don't mistake your net worth. ”
After all, Sony's generation is the generation that fights the world, and the influence of Han culture itself is far less than that of Fulin, and they don't know much about some history, so at this time, it is naturally impossible to stop because of Qiao Mu's three or two sentences, but they are more excited to threaten.
It's almost like a knife to threaten directly.
"You're threatening me?
Could it be that you still want to force the palace? ”
Qiao Mu still sat unhurriedly on the main seat of Ci'an Palace, raising his hand and questioning below.
Sonny and the other three Vice-Chancellors took two steps forward again, then looked at each other before Sonny continued:
"The Empress Dowager, it's not that we want to force the palace.
You're forcing all the flag men.
Believe it or not, if you don't take back your order today, then tomorrow there will be an uproar with the yellow flag, what is the situation of the mutiny, you don't know, we can't control it, in case the army rushes into the capital and the palace.
You and I can't afford it. ”
This is obviously a threat, how can there be a mutiny before there has been a mutiny.
However, the reason why Sony has the confidence to say this is obviously because Qiao Mu's previous actions did touch the interests of many flag people, which led to some flag owners in the Eight Banners beginning to support Sony and them, hoping to eliminate those constraints.
At this time, the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty was not particularly concentrated, and the emperor was only a small emperor, so it was relatively normal for the Eight Banners Banner Masters to be relatively arrogant, after all, they were all equivalent to the masters who could directly control all the different family bannermen under their jurisdiction.
Such an identity and status is almost comparable to the real power of other dynasties, with their support, these four auxiliary ministers have the confidence to talk back to Qiao Mu, and even threaten Qiao Mu is normal.
"The purpose of this palace will not change.
As for the mutiny, if anyone has the courage to mutiny, then mutiny, do you really think that the mourning family has been resting for two years, and it is the one who is teasing the grandson, and those who are interested in it will honestly restrain those flag people in their hands, and those who are not interested, I think you should not want to see what the end will be.
You say yes, right? Sony-sama! ”
Qiao Mu recently figured out a new use of the golden finger she had chosen earlier, so even if she didn't have any military power in her hand, she still had the confidence to stand up and walk up to them with a sneer, and said unceremoniously.
