.\Mingxue  Chapter 133 Gains and losses

Doer's "check" sound was only a short word, but it made the entire hall seem to have dropped several degrees at once. Everyone felt a chill. Those who were impeached were even more heartbroken. If they really wanted to check it, they could get dirty and framed it even if there was no mistake at all. Moreover, the people had only been in the pass for two years. Even if there was no private residence at home, there were still some taboos.

The army of Dodot went south was destroyed. After a lot of struggle, the power in Door not only did not decline, but was further consolidated. For a moment, the entire hall was silent.

Jirhalang instinctively felt that something was wrong. If a minister was impeached, he would search the whole family. I am afraid that the entire court would be in chaos. He quickly stood up and said to Shunzhi: "The emperor, I am against it. I don't know whether the impeachment of Sun's minister is true or not. How can I search the ministers just like this?"

"The emperor, the regent, the ministers, etc. are wronged." Bao Chengxian, Gao, entered the kuoku, Chen Mingxia Fang, and other impeached people, fell to the ground and called injustice.

"This..." The nine-year-old emperor just now looked at Door, then Jirgalang and a group of ministers shouting for justice. He immediately didn't know what to do.

"Your Majesty, whether it is wronged or not. You can tell if you investigate. If these people do not have any illegal reports of the banned fake Ming residence in their homes, why should they be afraid of searching? Someone is eating my Qing salary. He secretly colluded with the fake Ming. This matter is not small. If you do not investigate, you will be able to purify the court." The scholar Ganglin stood up and said.

Chengxian, Chen Ming, Xia Gao Jinku and others cursed at Ganglin. If the yamen runners came to your home to search, they would not know whether they would agree or not. But they were confused. They had always been respectful to the Regent. I don’t know when I offended the Regent?

These people didn't know that it was not that they offended Dor. It was just that the propaganda offensive in the Ming Dynasty made the surrendered Han officials in Qing Dynasty panic. This kind of human heart was caused by the strength of both sides. It was useless for Dor to deny it. Unless the Manchus could win a big victory, it could be reversed.

If the Ming Dynasty propaganda was allowed to develop in this way, wouldn’t these Han people in the palace really surrender to the enemy? At present, the strength of the Qing Dynasty could not provoke a war. Sun Zhixie’s impeachment just gave Doer a chance to purify people’s hearts. It has nothing to do with whether Bao Chengxian and others offended Doer.

"Prince Li, what do you think?" Doer ignored the people below and called the people wronged. Instead, he directly asked Daishan.

Dai Shan looked at the people below. There were mostly Han ministers. He had never had a good impression of Han ministers. He was even more disgusted when he heard these people's homes: "I agree with the regent's words. The Han people have words. Those who are clear will be clear. Those who are turbid will be turbid. Since you think it is wrong, what's the harm to check it?"

The two princes made a decision. Jirhalang was also powerless. He received an order to join the guards of the regent's palace to search the homes of the thirty-five ministers in the land of Sun Zhixie.

This investigation found a big problem. Among the thirty-five ministers, 15 ministers found the Ming Dynasty's residence newspapers. Among them, there were Chen Mingxia, Minister of Personnel, Fang Ke, Minister of Justice, and Jin Zhijun, Minister of War. Although there were no Ming Dynasty's residence newspapers in the home of Grand Secretary Bao Chengxian, many notes were found in the place of the literati of Chongzhen and Tianqi dynasties. Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, and some famous Manchu generals were sarcastic. Others also found some books to attack Manchu's land. Sun Zhixie impeached the thirty-five people, but none of them were spared.

After receiving the report, Doer was furious and immediately ordered the beheading of 15 people including Chen Mingxia Fangke-Zheng-Jin and Jin Zhijun to beheaded and abandoned the market. The whole family was sent to Manzhou as slaves. Bao Chengxian and twenty people were sentenced to one level for punishment. The punishment of beheading was exempted and all were exiled.

Among the fifteen people beheaded, two were Shangshu, one was the minister of Dali Temple, five ministers; among the exiled people, one was the Grand Secretary, six ministers, and the rest were also the officials of the fifth rank or above. Among the thirty-five people, there were thirty Han officials, and five Manchu ministers.

The Qing court was divided into two teams. Each team was divided into Manchu and Han officials. The status of Han officials was below Manchus. Although most of the places were handled were Han officials. The five Manchu ministers were just insignificantly accompanied by one person. Only one person was executed. However, it is conceivable that so many important officials were dealt with at once. It can be imagined that Bao Cheng followed the old people in Manchus when he was Nurhaci. Shunzhi wanted to plead for him. Doer was still not sure.

The severity of this treatment was beyond the expectations of everyone. The thirty-five people were dealt with that night. Many officials in the capital were filled with smoke and the air was filled with the smell of burning books.

Although the officials consciously burned all the books on the ban overnight, the memorial of Sun Zhixie was like opening a box in Pandora. A minister of Rites. With just one memorial, thirty-five ministers were dismounted. Fifteen were also beheaded. Among them, Sun Zhixie was successfully transferred from minister to minister. Many people who had never found an opportunity to speculate were excited. They saw the power of the literary heir.

After Sun Zhixiu wrote a letter, the capital city suddenly became a secret complaint. First, he complained to his enemies, then his colleagues, and even close friends. In the morning, he still had close friends.

It is possible that it is an irreconcilable enemy. The content of the complaints is increasing. The Ming Dynasty came to the residence to report it. The Qing Dynasty was regarded as a barbarian and attacked the Qing Dynasty. Taizong could certainly be directly guilty; it was allusion to use the past to mock the present and to mock the present.

For these secret informants, Doer instructed Shuntian Mansion to receive them well. Once they found out that the defendant was true, they would immediately punish them severely. Even if the secret informant was false, they would not be punished. For a moment, everyone in the capital was in danger.

The secret information of the capital was completed, but some results were achieved. Two Jinyiwei strongholds were exposed. They were followed by the clues by the Shuntian Prefecture yamen. More than a dozen Jinyiweisers in the capital were arrested one after another, which further encouraged the number of people in the secret information.

Many ministers who were originally dissatisfied with Dore all bowed to Dore under such high pressure and expressed their loyalty to the Regent's government. Dore's power has been further improved. Some people have suggested that the word "Di" be removed from the middle of the regent of the emperor's uncle and become the regent of the emperor's father.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger. It spread from the capital city to places controlled by Manren. Especially Shandong has become a severely affected area. Uprisings are constantly being rebelled here. In order to suppress the rebel army, the Qing army frequently mobilized them. The money and food consumed huge amounts. Ordinary farmers and some small families have long been too poor to squeeze out oil and water. Only some wealthy families are still rich and have accumulated grain. The governments in various places have long drooled at these wealthy families. But there were no excuses before. These wealthy families are closely related to the government and are difficult to deal with for a while.

The storm of literary insults spread from the capital. The governments in various places were overjoyed. "Everything is inferior, but only reading is high." In this era, a wealthy family had no books at home. Just search it casually and naturally could find the mistakes. First, the wealthy family was not so close to the government and became a local government. As long as the government favored the wealth of a wealthy family, they did not even need to find evidence in advance. Send troops to search it. Naturally, all kinds of evidence were held in their hands. They could directly confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

Not only wealthy households, but also officials also entrusted each other. Countless people were implicated. Many people were confiscated and exterminated their clans. In June and July of the second year of Hongguang, there were thousands of large and small literary inquisitions in the Qing Dynasty. The number of people involved exceeded 100,000. There were no less than 10,000 people beheaded. More people were in vain. Either they died on the road or went to the north and became slaves left behind.

The recorded areas were only a small part. More wealthy families only suffered the opportunity of extortion from the government and spent money to eliminate disasters. After a round of literary inquisitions, the Qing court had been dependent on the old local finances and improved for the first time.

In August of the second year of Hongguang, the wind of secret information was still unstoppable. Doer gathered the power of the Qing Dynasty. Even if he became an emperor, no one dared to object. Doer realized that he could not continue like this. Otherwise, he would kill all the Han officials and the rich without the support of these Han officials and the rich. Could the Qing court expect these to bear heavy taxes and taxes and support them with a heavy burden? Even if he became an emperor, it would be meaningless. Doer issued an order to suspend literary inquisition. It is not a major case. Those who are heartbroken and want to rebel. The government will no longer accept secret complaints. This literary tide gradually subsided.

The Manchus caused this literary inquisition, which greatly restricted the activities of the Jinyiwei. If there was any doubt, they were arrested. After losing manpower one after another, the Jinyiwei had to be cautious and reduce the activities on the Baihus. Naturally, the mansion could not be transmitted to the north. Door also achieved results.

Literary inquisition led to the destruction of a large number of books in the north. However, the Ming Dynasty has always been a southern culture. The Qing people could destroy northern books but could not destroy southern books. There was no loss for culture. A large number of officials and scholars in the north were implicated. There was only good or bad for the Ming Dynasty. Now, except for those officials who were already determined to be traitors, almost all gentry were looking to the south.

The Jiangnan Shilin Land was even more shocking. They wrote articles to commemorate relatives and friends in the north because of literary inquisition. Many officials and scholars stayed in the north were originally southerners. They had relatives and friends in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past, because they were thieves, many people were afraid of affecting their future. They drew a clear line with them. Now they were righteous when paying tribute. Since these people were not tolerated by the people, they were naturally worried about the Ming Dynasty. They just temporarily fell in the north and could not return home. Only by commemorating them can they show their feelings of not forgetting friendship.
