Chapter 144: Supporting Father 8
Yinzhen sighed in his heart, feeling that his father Kangxi had paid too much for the title of a benevolent monarch.
Kangxi:......
I can't believe I could do this.
A dignified emperor!
Fighting with a mere minister in the palace, even if the other party was defending and counterattacking, it would be easy to say no, right? If he was not killed decisively, and he was allowed to rise step by step and bring disaster to the Qing Dynasty?
For a moment, the prince began to wonder: Will there be Kang-Ma CP texts in the future?
Yinzhen sighed in his heart, feeling that his father Kangxi had paid too much for the title of a benevolent monarch.
cough cough.
It's not that he has evil intentions, it's just that Khan Ama's tolerance is a little unexpected.
Kangxi's face darkened when his son secretly questioned him. "Come on, come on, stop talking nonsense, you two. I was thinking that Mi Sihan and his son had made great contributions, and the four Ma Qi brothers were all entrusted with important tasks. Isn't it a bit too much to make a big fuss?"
This is not like the original historical storyline, where Ma Qi was so bold that he even got involved in the public election of the crown prince.
Speaking of this, Yinxuan was a little embarrassed.
[It is not a pity that Ma Qi died, but how to deal with him without implicating Li Rongbao is a problem. Li Rongbao's daughter is the Empress Fucha that Qianlong has been thinking about!]
[Qianlong's eldest nephew wrote more than 4 poems in his lifetime, but only the poem he wrote to mourn his niece's wife had some real feelings.]
[Empress Fucha was not only virtuous, but also had two super dowries. Her younger brother Fuheng and her nephew Fukangan. Tsk tsk, half of Qianlong's nephew's ten great achievements were due to Fukangan, and the remaining half was mostly related to Fukangan's father Fuheng.]
Now that the cards are clear, even Yongzheng has little chance, let alone Qianlong.
Therefore, when Kangxi and his son first heard Yinluan talking about Empress Fucha in his heart, they didn't feel anything.
but!
However, he then mentioned Qianlong and the Ten Complete Military Achievements, and the two of them instantly became alert.
After all, no matter how much they despised Qianlong, they had to admit that completely conquering the Dzungar Khanate and taking the entire Western Regions into their possession was a great achievement in expanding territory.
After the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were out of the control of the central government.
Qianlong's move to regain the homeland in the Western Regions was an unprecedented achievement among the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.
The father and son Fu Heng and Fu Kang'an who helped him achieve this achievement are naturally the most talented generals and the most precious treasures.
Got to keep it well!
As soon as their eyes met, the father and son reached a consensus.
The prince cleared his throat and said helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes, my son knows that Khan Ama is kind-hearted. But there are no rules without rules, and the king's majesty cannot be violated."
"No matter what the reason, Ma Qi dared to fight you, which is a crime of treason, high treason and disrespect. According to the Qing law, he should be executed by slow slicing. His father, son, brothers and uncles and brothers living together within three generations, as well as their children who are sixteen years old or older, should all be beheaded. Those who are sixteen years old or younger should be castrated and punished as official slaves, and the same applies to female relatives."
Yes, that's right.
There are also relevant provisions in the Qing Dynasty laws for executing nine generations of a clan. Although it is rarely used, it does not prevent the prince from using it to trick his own brother.
Hearing what he said, Yinzhen suddenly became nervous: "Ah? Ju, is it really going to be such a big deal?"
The prince exclaimed, "Eighteenth brother, you were so angry just now that you wanted to attack the Fucha Mansion. How come in the blink of an eye you are..."
"My brother has absolutely no sympathy for Ma Qi! But even Oboi didn't receive the treatment of killing nine clans. Isn't this a bit too serious for Ma Qi? There is a saying that a wife and children should not be punished. Or maybe his family is crying now! If I had known he was so fierce, I shouldn't have let him serve as an official."
[Amitabha, it’s so hard for me!]
[In order to keep the two world-famous generals for Kangxi, he racked his brains and even abandoned his usual principles. Wow, even though he is so pitiful, it won’t move the second brother, the crown prince, and Kangxi, right?]
Prince:......
For a moment, he almost raised his hands in surrender.
But his Khan Ama insisted.
The prince could only frown and said, "That's not the way it is said. A husband's honor brings glory to his wife. His wife and children were also protected by the Ma Daxueshi. Now that he has made a big mistake, he should naturally bear the consequences as well."
As the saying goes, when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer!
Yinxuan understands.
But it was too much of a crime, not to mention that also implicated were his future niece-in-law and her good brother and nephew.
Yinxuan, you have to pretend to be ignorant even though you know the truth.
No matter how heinous Ma Qi's crimes were, they could not be as unforgivable as Oboi.
It's still too much to execute the entire family.
It is better to let those who deserve to die die, and let those who don’t deserve to die continue to serve in the court.
For example, the descendants of his eldest brother Masha, his third brother Ma Wu, his fourth brother Li Rongbao and their descendants.
[The key is Li Rongbao. Don’t kill him. Otherwise, even Empress Fucha wouldn’t have had a chance to come into the world, not to mention Fu Heng and his son Fu Kang’an.]
The little guy's voice was deafening, and Kangxi couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
He could only wave his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, Khan Ama knows that our little Eighteen is kind-hearted. But this matter is of great importance, so we still need to discuss it with the civil and military ministers."
"Can……"
"Don't worry, don't you feel sorry for Khan Ama and want to seek justice for him? I will send Baotai to accompany you to the Ministry of Justice to ask him what kind of ambition and courage he has!"
Kangxi touched the top of his head, speaking in a tone that was very much like coaxing a child.
but!
Witness a famous historical scene, who can resist this temptation?
Anyway, Yinxuan can't bear it.
He raised his head and chest, his face full of solemnity: "I really want it, but I dare not ask for it. Since Khan Ama has given the order, I have no choice but to do it. Please wait, I will go to the Ministry of Justice to ask that shameless old man, how dare he betray his country to such an extent?"
After saying this, he bowed neatly and walked out of the hall.
Upon seeing this, Kangxi could not help but instruct Baotai to keep a close eye on the person and protect him.
Baotai quickly agreed.
He followed Yinxuan closely, his eyes full of seriousness.
Others felt sorry for him, as a prince, following a little brat around. Only he knew what an important task he had been entrusted with.
To say that he was a supporting star was too crude. In his opinion, Yinxuan was the hope of the Qing Dynasty.
Protecting him is equivalent to protecting the future of the Qing Dynasty!
Yinxuan, who had no sense of being a "national treasure", got on the carriage and headed for the Ministry of Justice. With the emperor's handwritten order, he entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice smoothly and saw Ma Qi, who had been stripped of his official uniform and was only wearing a snow-white satin lining.
Under the shocked gazes of Baotai and the Minister of Justice, the young prince put his hands on his hips and said in a very unroyal manner: "I am just an ordinary mortal, not a nine-life cat demon. What are you thinking? You don't want to live, and you don't want your nine clans to live? How dare you fight with my Khan father!"
Ma Qi began to regret after beating the man. As he was reviewing the situation and thinking about how to find a way out of the desperate situation, his eyes went dark and he had a very bad premonition.
