159 159 Holding a grudge
◎It's hard to say! I hope not.◎
Chen Pengnian's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves.
Needless to say, the local officials standing in the room, even Master Kang was shocked.
Master Kang originally wanted to exchange a few polite words with Chen Pengnian, but he soon found that this old Chen from Hunan did not want to be rude to him.
He really felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, and he had no intention of being polite to Master Kang at all.
Yes, after all, according to historical records, this Lord Chen could indeed live another 18 years, which was one year later than the time when Master Kang died.
Of course, considering that he was nine years younger than Master Kang, his life span was certainly not as long as Master Kang's, but it was not too short in this era. At
fifty, one knows the will of heaven. At sixty, although it is not as rare as seventy, it is definitely not considered premature death.
You should know that Lin Ruhai only lived to his forties in the original novel, not even fifty.
Many other officials also died young.
There is no need to mention them one by one. Even the princes who were supposed to be pampered and well-fed had some who died young - the Thirteenth Prince was one of them, and he only lived to be forty-four in the end.
It stands to reason that the Thirteenth Prince had a good physical condition, but he still fell ill with the disease of hematuria - although it is not considered a terminal disease in modern times, it was a terminal disease under the medical conditions in ancient times.
I wonder if anyone in the Imperial Hospital has developed a special treatment for this disease... Anyway, Mo Yu has already provided the relevant medical literature to the School of Medicine.
There have always been people in the Imperial Hospital who communicate with the School of Medicine, so I think they should have studied that, right?
Thinking of this, Mo Yu felt a little relieved.
In fact, the way to prevent the Thirteenth Prince from dying young is to solve the problem from the root and prevent him from getting this disease.
That is to say, he should not get involved in the "Nine Sons Seizing the Crown Prince" issue, and should just follow his fourth brother obediently.
He should not think about taking the blame for his fourth brother or being a live target.
This kind of thing is really a thankless task.
After all, the one who has the final say is Master Kang, who will turn against him at the slightest disagreement, and can torture his favorite son to death. The Thirteenth Prince is the most typical example.
Even if his fourth brother loves him and compensates him in various ways after his fourth brother ascends the throne, what is the use?
This child is an honest person. Even if his dear fourth brother becomes the emperor, he will still work diligently, do everything himself, and work hard until his death.
As expected, due to such hard work and the torture of his old illness, the Thirteenth Prince died in the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign at the age of forty-four, shorter than his fourth brother, the famous workaholic and model emperor.
His fourth brother lived to fifty-seven after all. Although he did not reach sixty, he was much shorter than his father Master Kang and his son Qian Xiaosi, but he could not be considered to have died too young.
After all, he was past the age of knowing the destiny.
At least he lived thirteen years longer than the Thirteenth Prince.
The brothers had a deep affection for each other and supported each other all the way to the end. Unexpectedly, the younger brother died before his elder brother. It is conceivable how devastated the Fourth Master was when the Thirteenth Prince passed away.
The Thirteenth Prince was really devoted to his Fourth Brother, so his death directly broke his defenses and made his Fourth Brother very sad. The good model worker actually resigned from the throne for several days.
In the end, the Thirteenth Prince was made the Iron Hat King, and was given the posthumous title of "Xian". He was also allowed to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and even allowed to change his original name to "Yinxiang". He didn't have to change the word "Yin" to "Yun" like other brothers to avoid the name "Yinzhen".
This is unique in the entire Qing Dynasty.
I have to say that if the Fourth Prince is nice to people, it's really good, and it's no wonder that the Thirteenth Prince is so devoted to him.
This is a bit like "running in both directions".
But, Mo Yu still wants to say, people died young, what's the use of these names before and after death?
If it were him, he would definitely choose to live a few more years.
Not to mention too much, even living ten more years is better than all these fancy things.
So, Thirteenth Prince, you really have to be more careful, otherwise, it will be really regrettable.
Although you are only eighteen years old, you can only live for another twenty-five years. I just want to ask you if you are afraid.
Well, it seems that we are talking about Chen Pengnian today. How come we have gone far away again without realizing it?
It’s all the fault of Thirteenth Prince. His presence is too strong.
Mo Yu looked at the calm and handsome profile of Thirteenth Prince, and quietly complained that his thoughts were too divergent again. He quickly and silently pulled back his thoughts that had drifted away, and then he realized that Chen Pengnian had already entered the next stage.
It turns out that this Lord Chen also came to complain.
That's right, even if Ashan, Galin and others are allowed to come to the court to accuse a great and honest official like him, but a great and honest official like him is not allowed to come to the court to impeach those corrupt officials by name?
Of course it is allowed.
And this Lord Chen really came prepared. The officials he wanted to impeach were indeed corrupt officials on the list.
Not only did they include Zhao Shichang, the governor of Shandong who had fallen before, but also Ashan, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi. As for Galin, he fell too quickly and was not included in the impeachment this time.
But it didn't matter. The officials that Chen Pengnian had contact with were only a few in total, and there were many officials of the same level.
As for those who are lower in rank than him, there is nothing to see. Even if they are greedy, it is certainly not as much as their superiors. It is better to impeach them together with their superiors.
Therefore, Master Kang, who originally wanted to show his concern for the health of his ministers, was forced to listen to another long report on the spot - to be honest, the style of this Lord Chen made him feel like he was dreaming back to Yangxin Palace for a second.
Isn't this almost the same as attending court?
Therefore, the southern tour cannot reduce the handling of state affairs!
It really can't be idle at all.
Master Kang silently mourned in his heart for a moment, and then listened carefully to Chen Pengnian's report.
Mo Yu was not idle either. Every time Chen Pengnian impeached someone, he summoned System 006 to push this person's life to him.
By the way, we have to eat all the melons related to this person - there are no big melons, but there are small melons. After all, this is an official in the Jiangnan region. Who can be free of problems?
Except for Chen Pengnian, everyone has problems.
Oh no, even Chen Pengnian himself has problems.
Before Ashan impeached Chen Pengnian, one of the important "evidence" was that this Mr. Chen Pengnian, who was obviously the prefect of Jiangning and a formal fourth-rank official, actually openly announced Master Kang's edict at the site of a closed brothel.
Originally, this matter could completely diverge in the direction of the big picture of "education for all".
However, Ah Shan was very good at making excuses and making a fuss. Chen Pengnian, as a scholar and an official who had passed the imperial examination, had an inexplicable character. It was probably like, I thought that you, the Lord, understood me, but I didn't expect that you didn't understand me either. It turned out that you were a vulgar person. It was so sad.
He shut himself off.
All right, then you can do whatever you want to me.
Chen Pengnian was so bad, and Ah Shan's firepower was too strong, so the final outcome was definitely doomed to be a tragedy.
Chen Pengnian was convicted of being disrespectful to Master Kang, the Lord, and was exiled to the northeast.
Of course, Old Chen did not really go to the Northeast this time, and it was Master Kang who rescued him.
However, this kind of thing can only happen once or twice, but not three times. If it weren't for Chen Pengnian's good luck, he would have died in the bitter cold of the Northeast.
As for why Zhang Youshi diagnosed that he could only live for five or six years, but in the end he was able to live for another twenty years, it was probably because Master Kang continued to give him some good opportunities, which made him feel happy and his living conditions were significantly improved, so that he could spend the rest of his life safely.
Thinking about it this way, Master Kang is a pretty good person.
Mo Yu was thinking about these random things and didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the people on the scene.
In fact, even if he noticed it, he would never think that it was because everyone could hear his inner voice.
After all, how could ordinary people imagine such an incredible thing? Even though
Mo Yu claimed to be a modern young man with an open mind, he did not think that way.
As for whether System 006 contributed to this, no one knows. *
In short, Mo Yu continued his career of happy complaints as an ignorant and fearless person, and once again let everyone see his uniqueness and strength.
This strength is not only limited to the fact that he knows so many "past and future events", but also lies in the infinite pampering and tolerance of Master Kang, the long-lived master, towards him.
As long as the adults who have had a few years of political experience know, their Wansuiye is not just a grudge holder. Although he may not take revenge immediately, if you offend him in the future, he will list all your past faults one by one and make a big settlement.
In response, Prince Yinreng said that he is very experienced...
So, everyone is amazed that their Wansuiye has changed his nature and treats the son of a minister so tolerantly and dotingly - to be honest, this is almost as good as the treatment the prince received when he was a child, which is amazing.
But at the same time, some people are secretly worried, will this Wansuiye treat this Xiaolin the same way as the prince?
It's hard to say.
I hope not.
Amid the anxiety of the crowd, Master Kang accepted Chen Pengnian's impeachment memorial, and then he dealt with many officials involved in the case, including Zhao Shichang and Ashan, with thunderous means.
For a time, officials along the southern tour were all in danger, frightened, and kept their tails between their legs.
At this time, Zhang Penghe, Lin Ruhai and others began to persuade Master Kang not to punish severely, but to be firm and gentle, and show the great grace of the emperor.
In response, Master Kang also accepted the advice. Anyway, he was a soft-hearted person, and this suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
So the next southern tour was very smooth.
Mo Yu and Lin Ruhai finished their days of accompanying the driver, and when Master Kang passed through Suzhou on his way back, they picked up Feng and Zhen Yinglian and went back to Beijing together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Beijing, they encountered something that was hard to describe.
