If the people's hearts are dispersed, it will be difficult to lead the team.

This is the case with the Qing court at the moment. Emperor Jianxing never expected that his previous angry actions would lead to such strong consequences.

However, the matter has been done, and it is too late to regret it again. Although Emperor Jianxing did not say it, he was anxious about the current disintegration of people's hearts, which is why he could not hold back just now.

Now, Emperor Jianxing was extremely dissatisfied with Geng'er. He believed that if Geng'er hadn't instigated him that day and killed only the three tribes of Yue Zhongqi according to Ma Qi's wishes, this matter would not have had such a big impact. If you want to blame him, Geng'er blamed him for not being persistent that day, which aroused his anger and made this decision under extremely irrational circumstances.

If it was not the time to hire people, or if he was worried that the punishment of Geng's words would have caused dissatisfaction, Emperor Jianxing might have directly exposed his anger to Geng's words. But even so, although Geng's still a minister in the study, he has no longer been valued by Emperor Jianxing these days, and his power in his hands has been greatly weakened.

As for Zhang Tingyu, although he was nominally the chief minister of Shangshu, Emperor Jianxing also became aware of him because of his identity as a Han minister.

Now, all the Han officials in the court are in panic. Although Zhang Tingyu is capable, he is also a Han minister. Who can guarantee that he has no idea about this? Besides, Zhang Tingyu and Geng E argued in front of the imperial court for the Yue Zhongqi case, and the two sides almost started fighting.

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Jianxing, the only reliable and loyal person is Ma Qi.

Ma Qi is a high-ranking and qualified person. His qualifications among the ministers of Shangshu are far superior to others. As early as when Soetu and Mingzhu were powerful, Ma Qi had already entered Shangshu to work as a job. Later, the two ministers of power in the first place were involved and were killed by Kangxi. Ma Qi naturally became the chief minister of Shangshu, but he didn't sit in this position for long. Because of the former prince's affairs and the recommendation of the eighth prince as the prince, Kangxi was extremely unhappy, and he was kicked out of Shangshu and went home to think about his mistakes.

Because Ma Qi had no ambitions and was even more loyal to the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi later recruited him back for his diligence, but the position of chief was gone and he was ranked second after Zhang Tingyu. However, Ma Qi had no complaints and still worked honestly.

Later, Emperor Jianxing joined forces with the princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty to force the palace and eventually became the crown prince. He then took advantage of the Beijing change to take the power away from Kangxi. At this time, Zhang Tingyu was temporarily placed under house arrest because of his close relationship with Kangxi, and Ma Qi became the chief again.

Later, Emperor Jianxing personally visited Zhang Tingyu and persuaded him to return to the study room. At this time, Ma Qi, who was temporarily waiting for the chief, became the second seat again, but he still had no complaints like before, and was still the same as before.

In response, Emperor Jianxing once praised Ma Qi in private, saying that Ma Qi was a innocent man and was loyal to the Qing Dynasty. He was a rare good minister. The fact is the same. As the saying goes, knowing the power of the horse from afar, and seeing people's hearts over time. Although Ma Qi was not as resourceful as Zhang Tingyu in political affairs, he was not as good as Geng'er to understand the emperor's mind and the military ability of Ortai. However, Ma Qi had a strength that others did not have, that is, his loyalty to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Jianxing had long been awakened. He regretted deeply in his heart that he had not listened to Ma Qi at that time, which made such a big mistake. That's why he sighed that Ma Qi was a good slave. You must know that it was extremely rare to be praised by the emperor. If it were on weekdays, Ma Qi would definitely be very happy, but now facing such a situation, Ma Qi and Emperor Jianxing are also very worried.

"Your Majesty, I think this is not necessary. In fact, these memorials are just kept for the time being and not sent. As for the others, Rong Nucai thinks of a solution or asks someone to persuade him, and maybe it will be over..." Ma Qi said comfortingly.

Emperor Jianxing hesitated for a moment. Ma Qi's words were tactful, but in fact it was equivalent to admitting his mistake to the servants on his behalf. Otherwise, what would Ma Qi use to persuade him? As an emperor, Emperor Jianxing's face is even greater than that, and the original emperor was extremely proud of his face. How could he do such a thing?

Shaking his head, Emperor Jianxing gritted his teeth and said, "These dog slaves! I don't believe it anymore. Without these people, my Qing Dynasty will not be able to be done? Yue Zhongqi sentenced the country to surrender to the enemy, and he deserved to die! But these dog slaves are not filial to me, but also deserved to die!"

"The emperor is wise, but in fact, I feel the same way. But there is a saying that thunder and rain are all the kindness of the king, and the thunder means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva. Some servants are short-sighted and do not understand the emperor's true thoughts or the grace of the emperor. This is certainly their problem, but when using people now, I think that the emperor also needs to give them a chance to awaken. I feel that as long as these people fully understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, they will definitely be grateful to me for the filial piety and loyalty of the Qing Dynasty."

After experiencing several ups and downs, no matter how stupid Ma Qi was, he had already learned how to express it, and immediately advised him in a tactful manner.

In fact, Emperor Jianxing was looking for a downstairs. He definitely wouldn't admit his weakness, but as long as there is an appropriate reason to be the emperor to appease his ministers properly? He immediately pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

"You will take these memorials away later. I will hand them over to you how to deal with this matter. I hope I will not see any similar memorials again." Emperor Jianxing said quietly, pointing to those memorials.

Ma Qi nodded immediately and felt relieved. But he knew it was not easy to actually hold this matter down. Moreover, as a Manchu, he would be unable to persuade Han ministers in the court, no matter how big the face was, Ma Qi thought about a few people. These people were not only Han ministers, but also loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty. They had a high prestige in the court and the country. As long as they were convinced and asked them to appease the others, this matter would be much better.

"What are you doing when you come to me?" Emperor Jianxing's anger gradually faded, and then he remembered to ask Ma Qi's purpose.

It is natural that Ma Qi came to find Emperor Jianxing, but he had already talked about the matter of the Han ministers just now, and the other thing was not a good thing either.

After hesitating, Ma Qi said, "Emperor, this year, the northwest drought has been severe this year. Yin Tai, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, has reported many times. There have been months of rain in many places. Although the court has relief these days, it is difficult to solve the problem. If this continues, I feel that something big will happen before the autumn harvest..."

Emperor Jianxing's head became big when he heard this, and his forehead was buzzing. He had known about the drought in the northwest for a long time, but what could he do now? The relief had been relief, and the work of immigrating to Sichuan had been done long ago, but the memorials of the disaster in various places still flew like snowflakes, which made him subconsciously panic when he saw the memorial. The emperor was doing it really bitterly.
