Instead, he said majestically: "Half a year!" ”

All of a sudden, he was so frightened that the tenth master didn't dare to say another word.

Kangxi had a certain idea, and neither the eighth nor the ninth master dared to beg for mercy.

Otherwise, the Tenth Master may not be able to stay in the Zongren Mansion for a year, and I am afraid that they will be implicated.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the tenth master owes debts, if you want to blame it, you should blame the tenth master for not going to sell property on the street, and whipping Tian Wenjing.

These are not the most important, the most important thing is that he contradicted Kangxi in front of the princes and ministers.

The imperial power does not allow anyone to provoke, even if he is the prince.

This is the price to pay for the assault on imperial power.

It doesn't matter if he's a son or a courtier.

The Ninth Master frowned with hatred and steel, and said cautiously: "Huang Ama, the son has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"A manly man, if you have something to say, what does it look like to cower and cower, but it's not even as good as the old ten." Kangxi said unhappily.

The words made the ninth master panic, so he had to say sarcastically: "It is indeed wrong for the tenth brother to sell his property on the street, but this shows that he has the heart to repay his debts." But it was Tian Wenjing, who was too eager to ask for debts, and in front of the people, he said that the tenth brother was not. ”

"For a few dozen taels of silver, I went to someone's house to make trouble. Even the minister Wei Dongting, it is also his means of asking for debts too eagerly and unbearable, I heard that he also humiliated Wei Dongting, such a person, without torture, can destroy people's will in just a few words, it is too cruel, Wei Dongting's death has nothing to do with him, if he is not severely punished, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

As soon as the voice fell, several ministers echoed the words of the ninth master.

Kangxi can't do it without asking.

He glanced around the crowd and finally landed on Tian Wenjing.

"Tian Wenjing, I ask you, what Brother Jiu said is true?"

"If you go back to the emperor, this time the matter is inappropriate for Weichen, for the death of Lord Wei, Weichen is also very sad, and he is willing to be punished by the emperor!"

These days, he came to the door to ask for debts, which offended many ministers.

The tenth master and the ninth master are better, and Kangxi and the tenth master have a father-son relationship.

He is an old man who can be angry with his son.

He is a courtier, and he is a minister.

To put it mildly, it's just a minion!

At this moment, he is alone, what else can he say.

Anyway, it's wrong to say anything.

"There are many rigorous errands, but there must always be a compassionate heart, and it is really inhumane to force the ministers who have made meritorious contributions to death in order to do errands. Now you will be removed from your official position in the capital, as well as the errand of the household department, and transferred to the post of Renzhi County in Shanxi, and you will be allowed to leave Beijing immediately! ”

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Even if he was demoted, Tian Wenjing was happy and thankful.

At this time, the fourth master, who has always talked little, finally opened his mouth for Tian Wenjing.

"Huang Ama, Tian Wenjing, he has always ......"

"Alright, it's settled." Kangxi looked ahead and said without hesitation.

When the emperor opened his mouth, it must have been carefully considered.

How could he change his mind so easily.

The fourth master could only hold back his words, looked at Tian Wenjing and left.

After Tian Wenjing left, the prince struck while the iron was hot and said: "Huang Ama, Erchen recently asked the household department, that Tian Wenjing is just following orders, isn't there still a fourth brother on top, I think it's still the fourth brother who does things too impertuated, just ask for debts, forget benevolence and righteousness, that Tian Wenjing's personality is different from others, cold-blooded and ruthless, messed up a simple thing, and forced Wei Dongting to death." ”

Kangxi didn't follow the prince's words, but just looked down at the crowd.

said lightly: "Huang Tiren and Xiao Guoxing, have you two returned it?" ”

"No ......" Huang Tiren, who was suddenly named, replied with a weak heart.

"Back to Long Live Lord, the slave hasn't had time to return yet." Xiao Guoxing said.

Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "I didn't have time to pay it back, but I had the leisure to cry in my Qianqing Palace." ”

"The minions are really short of money, and they can't get it together for the time being." Huang Tiren kowtowed.

"Don't think I don't know, you guys are on an errand in the Criminal Department, and you have collected a lot of money for your lives. If you encounter a death penalty, people will give tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you will be able to get people out and put good people in prison! Just a slave like you who abuse power for personal gain, you are simply not worthy of being an official, and you will be immediately demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and waiting to be released! The thunderous voice sounded outside the Qianqing Palace.

The entire Forbidden City trembled.

Kangxi's words can be regarded as indirectly starving to respond to the prince and slap the prince in the face.

has a bad record, and he is embarrassed to pour dirty water on his brother.

"Huang Ama, the son of the minister manages the criminal department, but he didn't know that the two of them were so ridiculous, it was the son of the minister who was derelict in his duties." The prince said with sincere fear.

The fourth master also said loudly: "Huang Ama, this time to recover the treasury, in the end, the sons and ministers are inexperienced, and they only want to pay all the debts, but they never think about it...... didn't find out everything, let alone assess the situation, so Wei Dongting committed suicide like this, and asked Huang Ama to deal with it! ”

Even if he is on the cusp, he can be in it calmly.

Moreover, he wanted to say so just now, but Kangxi grabbed ahead of him.

Seeing that the fourth master took the initiative to ask for guilt, Kangxi said seemingly casually: "Well, you really didn't do well this time, like Huang Tiren and Xiao Guoxing, you should be more eager, and loyal ministers like Wei Dongting should be slowed down." ”

Speaking of this, Kangxi sighed, "That's it, this matter is over, and it's useless to say more." ”

"Erchen knows his mistake and is willing to suspend him for half a year." The fourth master said.

At this moment, the eighth master rarely said good things for the fourth master.

"Huang Ama, although the fourth brother did not do anything properly this time, it was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and even more for the sake of millions of victims. And...... This matter is really too difficult to do, otherwise Erchen and the brothers would not have recommended the fourth brother at that time. Although the fourth brother has not done this, he has more or less recovered forty percent of the debt, and he can already help those victims. ”

"If there are still people who want to blame the fourth brother because they are being collected by the fourth brother, who will dare to work for the court in times of crisis in the future."

He had already understood that Kangxi didn't want to cure the fourth master's sin at all.

Otherwise, he would not have avoided the topic of punishing the fourth master when the prince spoke.

Sure enough, Kangxi showed a relieved smile.

Under the dazzling crown, a pair of bright eyes, the eyes of the bright world are even more cold and sharp.

The cold air forced people to dare not peep anymore, and said majestically to everyone: "Have you heard the words of the eighth elder brother?" ”

"What the eighth elder brother said is very true, and the ministers and others are not very convinced, and they ask the emperor to take care of it."

If anyone dares to chirp crookedly, it is because of the debt and resentment, who dares to protest.

"Huang Ama, in addition to these, the ministers heard that the treasury was recovered this time, Nian Qianyao did a good job, all the debts he asked for were basically completed, and there was no chaos, such a talent should be rewarded, and this person can be civil and martial, let him follow the Nine Gate Admiral Feiyangu on an errand."

The eighth master is a pseudo-good person to the end, not only interceding for the fourth master, but also helping Nian Qianyao to find an errand.
