Wang Zhongxiao actually already has ironclad evidence that proves that Ao Bai has defected to Wu Sangui! This irrefutable evidence is his brother Wang Jizhen, but Wang Jizhen cannot show up yet, because when he shows up, he will bring news that will frighten the little emperor of Kangxi... And before scaring the little emperor, as a Qing Dynasty Wang Zhongxiao, the final minister, is also preparing to join forces with his mentor and mentor to set up a trap to frame the traitor.
When the time comes when the little emperor gets scared, angry, or angry, won't the treacherous Tuhai's head have to be moved?
However, Tuhai, a traitor, was too treacherous. He refused to admit his guilt and submit to the law. He even climbed onto Soo'etu's lap and became a veteran of the Soo's Party. Moreover, the Empress Dowager seemed to have given him a little tug, preventing him from falling into the abyss immediately. And the little emperor seems to have given Suo'etu an "observation period"... It seems that unless there is some solid evidence, this treacherous sycophant may not be dead for a while.
This treacherous sycophant is gone, and even the Qing Dynasty may not be able to die either.
The death of the traitor in the Qing Dynasty should start with Tu Hai!
Having made up his mind, Wang Zhongxiao will not go to discuss the opening of Luodong Hall today, but quietly go to the mansion of his mentor Mingzhu alone.
When he arrived, construction was starting next to Mingzhu's mansion. This was the first phase of the Mingfu expansion project. The work was in full swing, so it was a bit noisy. So Mingzhu invited Wang Zhongxiao directly into her study, closed the door, and the master and apprentice began to plot how to eliminate traitors for the country!
"Teacher, this Tuhai seems to be very close to Suo'etu recently... Suo'etu is the queen's uncle!"
"Hmph!" Mingzhu heard what the good student said and also snorted: "So'e Tu La Tu Hai was just to block the way of his teacher. For La Tu Hai, he even asked the Queen Mother to invite the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother came forward to speak for him!"
Wang Zhongxiao asked: "Teacher, do you know what the Empress Dowager said?"
Mingzhu said: "The Empress Dowager didn't say anything. She just said that it was the late Emperor who fished Tu Hai out of the hole where he ransacked his house and dismissed him from office... It was the late Emperor who said this for Tu Hai when he was dying. talk!"
"oh......"
Wang Zhongxiao already understood.
Bumbutai did not "fish" Tuhai, but he also did not "step on" Tuhai. He just asked Kangxi to observe again.
After all, there is no confirmed news that Ao Bai has defected to Wu, and there is no confirmed news that Tu Hai is Ao Bai's best friend.
"Teacher," Wang Zhongxiao asked thoughtfully, "have you found the person who shouted outside the imperial pharmacy that day to warn Obai of an ambush?"
Mingzhu shook her head: "Where can I find it? My teacher, Duolong, Eunuch Gui, and Guanyin Bao are all worried to death... There are too many people going in and out of Qianqing Palace that day, and there are many things going on that day. , no one cares about who comes and who doesn’t come, and now I don’t even have a clue if I want to find someone.”
It turned out that Kangxi had always wanted to dig out dangerous elements around him, but he did not let Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and his son participate... Obviously, these "Lü Bu and his son" were not the people Emperor Kangxi trusted the most.
"Then..." Wang Zhongxiao thought about it for a moment, "Teacher, where was Tuhai that day?"
"Tuhai?" Mingzhu was stunned and looked at Wang Zhongxiao, "Shikai, do you think it was Tuhai who shouted that voice?"
"It's possible!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "It sounds a bit like it!"
"Impossible," Mingzhu shook her head. "At that time, Tu Hai was drafting the edict in the duty room outside Longzong Gate. With him, there were three inner courtyards enshrining Zhou Chang. And when the teacher left the duty room, he also Inside. And when I arrived at the south study room, Obai had already fled."
Longzongmen is opposite Jingyunmen. From Qianqingmen, turn right to Longzongmen and left to Jingyunmen. The fighting that day mainly took place outside Qianqing Gate and Jingyun Gate. There was no fighting outside Longzong Gate, where the third inner courtyard guard room was located.
In addition, because when Obai came to power, the three chambers actually relied on the meeting of kings and ministers to carry out their work, so there were usually not many people in the duty room outside Longzong Gate. When Oboi was expelled, in the duty room outside Longzong Gate there were only two bachelors and bachelors, Tuhai and Mingzhu, and the priest Zhou Chang on duty.
And Tu Hai’s alibi is Mingzhu and Zhou Chang...
"Teacher," Wang Zhongxiao said, "What if... what if the student could convince that Zhou Zongfeng to change his confession?"
"What?" Mingzhu was startled and looked at Wang Zhongxiao blankly, "You want to frame Tu Hai?"
Wang Zhongxiao nodded and said: "Teacher, Tuhai is a traitor and a traitor to Obai. We are loyal ministers. Loyalty and traitors have been incompatible since ancient times! Moreover, this traitor always uses all possible means to frame loyal ministers. Extremely. Can’t we, the loyal ministers, use some official tactics and fight the traitors in a decent manner? If we do everything in a decent manner, can we fight against the traitors? "
"This..." Mingzhu frowned.
Wang Zhongxiao said again: "Teacher, Tu Hai is a person of Ao Bai, and O Bai may have taken refuge with Wu Sangui... So Tu Hai is a person of Wu Sangui! Teacher, do you have to be fair and aboveboard when fighting Wu Sangui? No need Any means?
But can Wu Sangui be so well-behaved? Wouldn't he use Tuhai to bring assassins into the palace to kill the emperor? You asked Tu Hai to stay with the emperor. Can this... be considered a loyal minister? "
"Kill, kill the emperor?" Mingzhu took a breath, "This can't be done! We loyal ministers will never put the emperor in danger. But... that Zhou Chang seems to be Tu Hai's confidant, he Are you willing to betray Tuhai?"
"Yes!" Wang Zhongxiao smiled, "Tuhai is not Zhou Chang's biological father, so why wouldn't he sell it? Besides, Tuhai is now in danger, he can't even protect himself, and he can't give him any benefits. If the teacher If you want to take him into account, what else is there that he won’t sell?”
"Okay!" Mingzhu finally made up her mind and nodded heavily, "Shikai, you are right! We who are loyal ministers must not let traitors run rampant in the court, let alone put the emperor in danger!
Shikai, I’ll leave it to you to convince Zhou Chang! "
"Teacher, don't worry. If you give the students three days, they will definitely bring this guy Zhou Chang over!"
...
Zhou Chang, named Peigong, is from Jingmen, Hubei. He is in his thirties and almost forty this year. He was born as a master. When Tuhai followed Mulima to Huguang to encircle and suppress the remains of Kuidong Camp, he attached himself to Tuhai, a noble man, and was Tuhai was brought to Beijing. However, he didn't become a high-ranking official, so he only got the job of "serving the inner three academies" or "walking around the inner three academies", which was basically the position of secretary to the bachelor of the inner three academies.
However, Tu Hai still regarded "Master Zhou" very highly, and Zhou Chang would draft all the edicts that Tu Hai needed to draft. Sometimes Tu Hai was too lazy to write, so he simply asked Zhou Chang to imitate his own handwriting.
Over and over again, Zhou Chang's imitation of Tu Hai's handwriting was so real that even Tu Hai had trouble recognizing it!
In addition, Tuhai will also discuss official matters with him...who should flatter him, who should be stepped on, who can be accepted as a dog, and who should be kept far away to avoid being raped. implicated.
It can be said that Zhou Chang is Tu Hai’s number one confidant!
But this "number one confidant" doesn't have much money! When Obai was in power, the Third Inner Courtyard was just a Qingshui Yamen. Tu Hai couldn't bear to let him be his confidant, so he didn't recommend him to go fishing.
Now...the inner three courtyards are worth a lot of money! But Tuhai himself was already on the verge of collapse! Now every day I think about how to clean myself, how to hold Suo'etu's thigh tightly, and how to suppress this villain like Mingzhu. There is no thought at all about taking Zhou Chang to make money!
It doesn't matter if Tu Hai doesn't make money, he has a solid foundation, and in his early years, he was also in charge of the Criminal Department, which was specialized in corruption and bending the law, so he already has enough money. But Zhou Chang, a young official in Beijing who was in his thirties and had no imperial examination background, was in trouble.
Although he did not have to make ends meet, he had been a poor official for so many years and had little savings. He could not buy a house in Beijing, and of course he could not afford a concubine. Even a visit to the eight alleys would take him a long time to think about.
What's even worse is that Tuhai, who promoted him, has already been branded as a member of Obai's party and will fall at any time... What will he do then? Are you going back to Hubei empty-handed? Or should we take advantage of Tuhai's failure and quickly find a gangster from the outer city to get a usury loan, and then buy a county magistrate? With Tu Hai’s face, you can always get a discount, right?
When night fell, Zhou Chang was walking on Caishikou Street outside Xuanwu Gate while thinking about it - he lived nearby! A house in a good location couldn't be afforded by a miserable little Beijing official like him. If he lived outside the city, it would be too far to go to work every day, so he searched around and found Caishikou... which is far from the inner city. It's nearby, the rent is not expensive, and it's quite lively during the day. But it's not good at all. There's always a spooky feeling when walking on Caishikou Street at night.
Zhou Chang felt particularly wrong today. There seemed to be someone following behind him...and they were following him closer and closer!
This frightened Zhou Chang, and he did not dare to look back, so he could only speed up his pace.
The unlucky Bamboulshan just made a red mistake at the food market two days ago! The good head was chopped off with a single knife, and he still lives with his eyes open. Could it be...
Zhou Chang was thinking wildly when someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Zhou Chang, you are under arrest!"

Daluoluo is asking for first order, see you at 12 noon today!
