Ao Bai didn't wait for him to finish speaking and then continued: "These memorials have been sent out by the imperial court a long time ago, so why bother with so many words! The emperor is still young, so these political affairs should be carried out according to the regulations left by the late emperor and be implemented by the ministers and others!"

According to the ancestral system, the emperor who is not personally in charge of the government is entrusted with the full power to handle government affairs by the auxiliary ministers. The daily reports are actually official articles, and you can just listen to them.

But today, little Kangxi heard something new, and he couldn't help but say in a childish voice: "Although I am young and don't know much, I can't even ask questions about what I don't understand?"

One sentence of the question made several ministers choke and had to bow their heads without saying a word. Obai thought to himself: While Sony is away, if we don't block him back this time, he will have to ask about everything in the future, so why should we help the government? Pause

After a long while, he said slowly: "According to the ancestral teachings, the emperor cannot ask questions before he is in charge. But if you don't understand, you can also let the minister explain."

Emperor Kangxi was not aware of Obai's strength today. He was just curious about the memorial and asked, "What's the matter with crying in the temple? Is it a local custom?"

"Crying in the temple" is indeed a long-standing custom in Suzhou. The local economy is developed, the humanities are gathered together, and the middle-class scholars come from affluent families. They have become an important social supervision force. When the government does something illegal and inappropriate,

Scholars often gathered at the Confucian Temple to compose "Juan Tang Wen", and after crying to the founder Kong Shengsheng, they also called the people to complain to the superior officials. In the Ming Dynasty, the "crying temple" complaints with large numbers of people often made the officials dare not

Take it lightly and accept it.

But what is said in the memorial now is that it is not that simple when it comes to the Wailing Temple. Historically, it, together with the "Tonghai Case" and the "Jiangnan Memorial Case", were collectively known as the "Three Major Cases in Jiangnan". The Qing government took advantage of this to raise large prisons and dealt a heavy blow to Jiangnan.

The power of Han landowners and gentry in the region.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi passed away. An edict of mourning was issued to Wuxian County on February 1, and the government held a funeral ceremony for three days of mourning. It was at this time that a case of "crying for temples against grain" occurred in Wuxian County, Suzhou. Originally, the people in Wuxian County were

A local petition was organized to denounce the corruption of the magistrate of Wu County. They only went to the Confucian Temple to cry bitterly in front of the tablet of the ancestors and vent their resentment and complaints. However, the Qing court considered the scholars' actions to be

He offended the spiritual status of Emperor Shunzhi and committed the crime of disrespect. A large number of people, including Jin Shengtan, were arrested for this and were "prepared to be executed without distinction of head."

After listening to Suo'etu's explanation, Kangxi didn't say anything. After all, he was young and didn't have his own opinions. He could only follow what others said and listen to the opinions of the auxiliary ministers.

Next, Suo'etu said something about postponing the memorial for his beloved star A to lead the forbidden travel south to the capital. This was what Obai meant. Suksaha looked at Obai with some dissatisfaction, but finally endured his anger.

After the discussion, Kangxi asked again: "Suo'etu, how is your father's illness?"

Hearing the emperor ask about his father's condition, Suo'etu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and replied: "Thanks to Master Hongfu, it seems that the phlegm and asthma are better this morning."

"Well, go back and greet him for me."

"Thank you, Master." Suo'etu hurriedly kowtowed and echoed.

Ao Bai saw that Kangxi had nothing to say, so he said: "If the emperor has no holy edict, let me wait for my servants to retire."

Kangxi gave Obai a strange look, and was a little unhappy that he had repeatedly interrupted him today. He paused for a long while, stood up, and left with an unhappy expression.

As soon as Kangxi and others left, there was a dead silence in the hall. Obai stood up nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Stop kneeling, retreat from the court, let's go back!"
