During the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, there was an official named Ka Li, who was very favored, known as the evergreen tree of the officialdom, and no one could bring it down. Although Ka Li started as a yin sheng and was initially only the head of the bureaucracy, he was promoted like a rocket because of his strong ability to do things, especially during the Kangxi expedition to Gardan, he followed Jackie Chan to transport grain and pay.
Kalli is capable, but there is also a very obvious disadvantage, that is, greed. When he was the governor of Shanxi, the people were all miserable by him, and even jointly went to the Capital Division to file a complaint. Not only that, under his bad influence, shanxi officials ruled extremely poorly, and most of the prefects were complicit with him, and they were in cahoots with him, and the atmosphere in the official arena was black and miasma, and it was impossible to control.
However, whether it was the campaign of the people of Shanxi or the impeachment of the imperial court, Ka Li was still protected by Kangxi. Not only did Kari not affect his career, but he was appointed as the Left Attendant of Hubu and later promoted to the Governor of Liangjiang, and the officials who impeached him were dismissed for false accusations.
After that, Kali became even more unscrupulous, and his greedy deeds were endlessly recorded. The chancellor hardly dared to squeak, and occasionally one or two people complained, and did not shake his position. The grace of the Kali lasted for more than 30 years. Why did Kangxi turn a blind eye to The Karma's crimes?
Later generations analyzed the reasons for this, and there are probably several points. First, Kali itself also has royal blood, and his ancestor is the founding hero He Heli, and He Heli's wife is Nurhaci's eldest daughter Dongguo. The second reason is that Kali's mother happened to be one of Kangxi's nursing mothers. Don't underestimate this relationship, Cao Yin's mother is also Kangxi's nursing mother, and the Cao family is so prosperous.
Another reason was Kangxi's attitude toward corrupt officials. Logically, the emperor is deeply resentful of corrupt officials, because the money that corrupt officials covet ink is, in the final analysis, the emperor's. But Kangxi had a view that absolutely incorruptible officials did not exist. As long as things can be done, appropriate corruption is also allowed. He has repeatedly expressed a similar view:
If you are greedy for money and profit, it is unreasonable, but what you deserve should also be taken as a reward for soldiers. As a feudal official, there was nothing in the room that could be associated with anyone, nor was it suitable for the minister.
Therefore, during the reign of Kangxi, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, and the finances were stretched, until Yongzheng succeeded to the throne and adopted severe measures to rectify the finances and officials, which pulled the Qing Dynasty back from the brink of danger. Kali took advantage of the situation and turned a blind eye to Kangxi and did whatever he wanted.
However, when Gari was serving as the governor of Liangjiang, he encountered a hard bone, he was Zhang Boxing, the inspector of Jiangsu. In the Qing Dynasty, the relationship between the governor and the governor was very complicated, not simply superior and subordinate, and discord between the governor was a common thing, and it was deliberately connived at by the imperial court. But the contradiction between Ka Li and Zhang Boxing has reached the point where you are dead or alive and cannot be adjusted at all.
Zhang Bo was honest and honest, impeached Kali for corruption, and even the examination for the state's selection of people was also involved. Ka Li used his heart to be vicious, and wrote to Zhang Boxing's seven major crimes, involving them with the "Nanshan Collection" case.
On the one hand, his favorite courtiers, on the other hand, the Qing officials he had established, and under the balance of the two, Kangxi finally made a decision, or chose to believe Zhang Boxing, and dismissed The Kali from office. Originally, Kangxi's original intention was not so, he was still prepared to favor Kali, but Kali's mother, that is, the nursing mother of Kangxi we mentioned earlier, entered Beijing. The old man showed awe-inspiring virtues and went so far as to bluntly tell Kangxi that his son was corrupt and that Zhang Boxing was a clean official, which reversed the situation.
At this point in the development of the matter, Ka Li still did not lose too much, although he lost his official position, he still saved his life, and Kangxi still did not pursue it too much. However, in the fifty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, his mother once again confronted the saint and broke a shocking scandal.
It turned out that after reporting her son and supporting Zhang Boxing, Kali's mother was resented by Kali. Gari and his brother Seleqi and others poisoned her meals in an attempt to poison her. After the attempt, Kali's wife also led someone to destroy her residence, leaving her homeless.
Kangxi was furious after hearing this, and he could tolerate Kali corruption, but he could not tolerate filial piety. What's more, the riches and graces of the Kali came almost because of their mothers. As a result, Kangxi ordered Kali and his wife to commit suicide, and all the relatives involved in it were beheaded. A generation of corrupt officials has finally ended a life of deep sin in this most despicable way.
