Chapter 42: Your best friend

The emperor went on a tour in a concealed manner again, causing great fluctuations in the capital. When he took Liufu to the inner court, someone sent a memorial to persuade him. This time he even left the Da Nei and went to the Liulichang area, which naturally caused everyone to whisper and talk. The censor named Chen Huai also wrote the chapter again, but this time it was not a persuasion, but impeachment, and the goal was to directly target Wen Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In the impeachment, his wording was quite fierce: "... I have recently heard that Wen Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, brought the folk wild interest to the emperor and invited the emperor to go to the teahouse and wine shop, and placed the emperor's most important body in a light and negligent place. It was actually extremely bold and reckless... There are people who talked about this matter, which greatly hurt our emperor's wiseness... I asked the emperor to issue an order, and he made a painful reprimand to the officer, thinking that those who came later were warned."

The emperor left the memorial for a few days. Just when many people thought that this bulletin was 'drunk', when the Imperial Gate was listening to the government on June 15, he took out the memorial: "This is the bulletin seal on the censor Chen Huai, maybe many people know it?" Without waiting for everyone to speak, he looked down: "Is Chen Huai here?"

"Chen Huai is here!" Chen Huai came out of his squad and knelt down: "I bow to the emperor."

"Chen Huai, I have read this post for several days and I don't understand a little. I would like to ask you for advice in person."

This was very unusual, and Chen Huai knelt down again: "I dare not!"

"Of course you dare!" The emperor slapped the case suddenly: "When I first succeeded to the throne, I said when I met several adults from the Military Affairs Office that I am the most rewarding and punishing person. I will never allow those situations where there are credits and ruling the blame. Do you know?"

"I know this."

"Since you know that I have left the palace a few days ago, can't you submit a memorial and ask someone else to impeach me? This is your true nature as a censor?"

Only then did everyone realize that the emperor was taking responsibility on his own initiative. He didn't know what it felt, but he always felt strange. He only heard the man on the imperial throne continue to say: "I forced Wen Qing to go with him and Xi Ling's advice a few times, but I just didn't listen. Can you blame them for such a thing?"

Chen Huai was stunned. He was the kind of person who read all history books, and he never knew that any emperor would speak like this in order to take responsibility! If this continues, wouldn’t he have to issue an edict to blame himself?

The emperor would not issue an edict to guilt, but he continued to say, "When I was a prince, I also studied in the study room. Whenever I remembered that the ancients were kings, I did not know the suffering of the common people. I was as strange as Emperor Hui of Jin: "Why not eat meat?"? Later, as I grew older, I finally realized that these people were all like you hoped that I would stay in this inner courtyard all day and had no understanding of the affairs of the people. If I really became such a foolish monarch, I would follow your wishes. Wouldn't you?"

Chen Huai was full of knowledge and was stupid and always couldn't say anything. He had to avoid meeting him: "I dare not, but I must not! It's just a small matter, I am afraid that it will hurt the sage virtue!"

"Sacred virtue? If the people of the world can have enough food and clothing, my virtue will naturally be remembered. How can there be any harm?" The emperor vented his anger, and his tone gradually slowed down a little. He said: "Chen Huai, I know that you are worried about the world and defend yourself. But in the future, don't talk about him. He is a sinless person, what should I do when I get in? In fact, the responsibility of the censor is not only to support the court, but also to assist me. Even if I am wrong, you can also submit a memorial to persuade me. Don't worry, I will never sin against others by saying anything."

"The emperor is clear in his handling of the situation, and I am convinced!"

"I will not keep your memorial, nor will I give you instructions, and I will throw it back." Putting down the memorial, the emperor curled his lips, swept his eyes over the ministers under the imperial stairs, and said slowly: "There is another thing that I want to inform you in advance. I am afraid that such things will happen in the future. Today, I will tell you not to make snakes, snakes, scorpions, and scorpions. It seems that I will occasionally leave the palace, as if the sky is about to collapse. If someone writes me, I will neither pay attention to it nor read it. All the memorials will be returned!"

The call of Daqi on June 15 made everyone see the emperor's demeanor and character - for the promise he made when he ascended the throne, he took responsibility for his subjects without hesitation. This was simply what the ancient saint king had done before. Unexpectedly, he saw it again in the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

After meeting the Military Affairs Office and the Sixth Ministry of the Hall, the following sign came in. Zai Quan, who had just met the day before yesterday. After entering the hall, he knelt down and saluted. The emperor was very polite to the man in the royal family who was his nephew according to the ranking: "Get up, this is not a court, and there is no need for so many etiquette. Come on, give the king to bring the slap."

"Thank you, the emperor!" Zai Quan sat respectfully in front of him, holding his knees with both hands, maintaining a standard sitting position like a bell.

"King Ding, this time I asked you to come for Sushun." The emperor did not need to keep such a solemn posture in front of the royal family, and he crossed his legs freely: "Is he still doing his duty in the yamen?"

When the emperor asked such a question, it would be equivalent to entrusting Sushun's glory and wealth to Zaiquan. If he had a deep relationship with him and had a few great words in front of him, the emperor would have a deeper impression of him in his heart, and the future use of the slander (sound-in-law) is just around the corner. If the relationship is not harmonious, he can naturally take advantage of such an opportunity to slander. He is very stubborn and has no good feelings for his masters under his ranks, and even Zaiquan, who is the immediate boss, rarely pretends to be.

This time when he heard the emperor ask, Zai Quan pondered it for a while and said carefully: "Reply to the words of the master, I have not been able to take office for a long time. The officials in Yuyamen are not very familiar with me. I just heard that Su Yuting is very proud and most of them scold his colleagues. I am just a slave, and I have not seen him yet."

"That's right? I understand." The emperor nodded with a smile and continued to ask, "Where is Duanhua? Isn't it his brother? Have you never taught him a bad-tempered brother?"

"I have never heard from King Zheng say this. I only know that they don't live together. I think it's not common for brothers to meet each other?"

"Look, Sushun still has a king and a father in his heart. He just saw that he met by chance outside the Liuli Factory. He could notify you quickly and make a response in advance, which was clearly understood." He stood up from his seat and walked a few steps in the East Warehouse: "It has been two hundred years since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. To this day, the prestige of the Eight Banners soldiers swept the world has been wiped out. Although the six ministries have a ancestral system and are both respected by the Secretary of the Manchu and Han, those who are serious have always been Han people. Manchus just receive a piece of food and silver and live absurdly."

"So, whether in the court or in the department, if there is a Manchu who is willing to do his job in a solid manner for the court, Zaiquan?"

Zai Quan probably understood what the emperor said, and knelt down with a wrong body: "The slave is here!"

"For such people, we should let go more. We can't wait until the court is full of Han people and we will come to cry to me. Do you understand?"

"Yes! A servant should be the best at the heart of heaven, and let go of the talented mankind such as Sushun to use it."

"Get up." The emperor signaled him to stand up: "King Ding, I know that your family business is very big and there are many servants. Of course, the monthly expenses are also very high. However, I hope you can be honest and never have any greed for ink, do you understand?"

"Yes! The slave must remember the emperor's teachings and dare not forget for a moment."

"That's it, you go down."
