Baochu was not opposed to interrogating traitors, but he was most afraid of unjust imprisonment. According to scholars, this would be a discredit to the Holy King!
As the eldest brother-in-law of Emperor Tongzhi, and a dignified uncle-in-law of the country, if he turns a blind eye to such things, wouldn't his salary be in vain?
When these eunuchs and maids waiting to be tortured saw Uncle Guo jumping out to speak to them, they really grasped the last straw. More than a hundred people kowtowed to beg for mercy!
"Uncle Guo, help me! This slave is really unjust!"
"Da Si is rejoicing to avenge himself. He wants to kill us unjustly and ruin His Majesty's reputation!"
A group of people kowtowed and begged for mercy, with their foreheads bleeding. At this time, Da Sixi's thugs rushed in with whips and wooden sticks and beat them randomly. "Shut up! Shut up, everyone... If you dare to shout again, I will implicate you." Go home!”
Da Sixi had long expected that these slaves would bite them randomly, but he was not nervous at all. He stretched out his hand to hold Uncle Guo's arm and walked north, "Haha... Why are you paying attention to these dying slaves? Let's go." Let's go, I will give my uncle a ride..."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly on the way, don't be in a hurry..."
Baochu still argued, "You can't inflict unjust imprisonment! Your Majesty's reputation is important, your reputation is important..."
Da Sixi winked, and another confidant eunuch ran directly to Lord Baochu's right hand, also holding his arms. The two of them actually held Uncle Guo up and headed north!
"Hey, hey, hey... put me down! Why don't you let me talk anymore? Put me down..."
Da Sixi and his confidant eunuchs had smiles on their faces, as sincere as they wanted to be, but their subordinates did not hesitate, and they quickly left the eighteen locust trees with Uncle Guo in their hands.
Walking to a secluded place, Da Sixi whispered, "Oh, my good country uncle! The doorway here is deep, please don't get involved!"
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty issued the decree to clean up the inner palace, and His Majesty also acquiesced in everything. There is nothing we can do about it!"
"Uncle Guo, do you know how many eunuchs and maids there are in this harem?"
"We did a count a few years ago. The total number of people, old and young, was more than 16,000. My good uncle, that's more than 16,000! Do you know how difficult it is to manage so many people?"
"Since the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing, the Old Summer Palace was destroyed and a large number of eunuchs and maids fled to death and were displaced. Many of them were protected by the palace ministers of the capital!"
"In the first year of the Tongzhi Dynasty, His Majesty returned to the capital. These eunuchs and maids who had been displaced from the three mountains and five gardens gradually returned... But now there is a problem, many people have been mixed with sand!"
"Who knows if these eunuchs and maids who have returned have other thoughts?"
"Further on, when Your Majesty is young, the court is in chaos, inside and out, the eight ministers are gone, but Prince Gong and others have also become powerful. Before His Majesty was not in charge, you know this palace How many spies were involved in it?"
"Don't look at them shouting that they are wronged. Take out their hearts. Do you know what color they are?"
"From the time His Majesty took office until now, it has been a difficult journey with a river of blood. Even if His Majesty takes office, are there still people who want to rebel?"
"How can we be benevolent as a woman at a time like this? We have to cut the knot quickly! I don't understand the affairs of the outer court, but I understand the affairs of the palace very well!"
"We can no longer tolerate rape! We must clean up these bastards as quickly as possible!"
"How to interrogate traitors? Find evidence one by one? There is no time, and there are not so many good interrogation talents! We can only shoot the rabbits, good ones and bad ones!"
"My slave, my strategy is very simple, that is, we must first join the party and defeat the different! If you make it clear that you are not from our faction, then you will be wronged if you are wronged. Hang him up and torture him first!"
"Under the five trees, no matter how hard you are, you still have to be subdued. When the time comes, you will naturally say something. Your own sins will be confessed, and the sins of others will also bite you!"
"Of course, Uncle Guo, if you have a soft heart, you will definitely say that there must be people who have been unjustly accused here... Yes, there must be! Where in the world are there not a few people who died unjustly?"
"But if there are confessions that were forced out of people who were forced to do so, there will also be real confessions that were forced out of rebellion! Both of these are possible, and the proportion of true confessions is definitely much higher than those who were forced to do so!"
"So to settle the scores, it's faster to just deal with it... Uncle Guo, please don't feel sorry for us slaves. What are eunuchs and maids? We are all a bunch of bitches. We don't even feel sorry for ourselves. Why do you still think so?" What kind of kindness!”
"As for that bitch just now, what she said was right. I did like her five years ago and was going to have a relationship with him. She really didn't like me at that time either!"
"Now I naturally have to complain and take revenge! Don't call me a villain. In fact, a slave is not a person at all... But is this bitch really clean?"
"After this torture, the sister who entered the palace with her confessed. Three palace maids identified this bitch. In fact, the true identity is not simple!"
"Who do you think she is? She is Prince Gong's niece when he was a child, and this bitch is somehow related to Guiziliu!"
Baochu was dumbfounded, "This...what does this prove?"
"Haha... This doesn't prove anything? This little bitch didn't honestly explain this relationship before entering the palace. Her concealment method is a capital offense!"
"Maybe...maybe she just forgot? A cousin from a nanny's family...a cousin can live a thousand miles away!"
"Or...or this woman is just afraid of losing her qualifications to enter the palace, so she lies..."
Baochu said that in the end he couldn't speak anymore, thinking that this palace was really complicated!
Da Sixi smiled and pointed to the Long Zongmen in front and said, "Uncle Guo, please go away. I will send you here. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Yangxin Hall!"
"I want to give my uncle a message. Everything is fine with you, but you are too kind-hearted! If this continues, you will suffer a loss in the court! I'm talking too much, I'm talking too much..."
Da Sixi hit him a thousand times, turned around with a smile and went to torture him to extract a confession!
Baochu thought about everything he had just seen and heard, and his heart felt like a strong wind of level 12, which could not calm down for a long time!
He had to admit that what Da Sixi said was very inhumane, but it was not unreasonable!
The harem system of the Qing Dynasty was very abnormal, especially the one where the prince could not be raised by his own mother. This was the most criticized thing!
In order to prevent the harem from interfering in politics, the prince was raised by a wet nurse since he was a child. His biological mother was not qualified to breastfeed, and the prince was not even allowed to live in the same palace with his biological mother!
From the emperor to the prince, there is a force around them that is the support of the wet nurse family!
