Chapter 126: Undercurrents (3)

.Watching Yinzhen leave, Kangxi then half turned to Ma Qi and frowned: "What is it? It's not convenient to say in front of my son?"

Ma Qi also said bitterly with a face, "The emperor clearly understands that the slave will follow a case today, which is very difficult. The slave is afraid..."

Kangxi laughed a little and said, "You usually look so serious, but why are you so confused today? You are the only one who is left to the Zuodu Censor and follow the rules of the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that you have brought up some powerful figures and you still have to come to me to find protection?"

Seeing Ma Qi's mood getting stronger, Kangxi couldn't help but become heavier. When he contacted the minister in front of him, he stopped talking and asked: "Is it possible that this case involves the Fourth Prince?"

Ma Qi shook his head, Kangxi felt a sense of briskness for no reason, and half-smile, "It's not important, even if you take out the princes and nobles, there is always the law. You are so brave, how can you take on the errands!"

At this time, Ma Qi stumbled: "I'm afraid that's it. As soon as this case comes out, it will affect the foundation of the country!"

Although this sentence, although the sound of this sentence was light, it fell into Kangxi's ears, every word was like thunder. The words were said obscurely, but Kangxi understood that this matter must involve the prince. The prince was the crown prince, and the future mountains and rivers were related. In addition, what else could shake the foundation of the country!

Kangxi looked solemnly and said, "You can make it clear."

Listening to the faint sound of thunder in Kangxi's tone, Ma Qi picked up the important points and said the whole thing in detail.

After hearing this, Kangxi didn't say anything for a while. After a while, he forced himself to smile and said, "I still think how big a thing is. What do you think, how to deal with it?"

Ma Qi thought about this before entering the palace. Although he privately concluded that the prince was the commander behind the scenes, he did not dare to say it easily. Even if he did not plan for his own good fortune, the life of the Fucha clan could not be considered. Therefore, when Ma Qi just described it, he deliberately underestimated Wang Jichen's confession, so that there would be room for improvement. At this time, he replied: "I think that the case of Xuzhou and the county levels is definitely confirmed. Wang Jichen probably conspired to destroy the prince in order to get rid of his crimes. But I thought that if this matter was spread and the government and the public were talking about it, it would inevitably damage the prince's reputation. Therefore, I dare not argue."

In fact, no matter what Ma Qi said, Kangxi didn't listen to a word at this time. His heart was like a knife. Since the last time the prince served Ji, the father and son had some grudges. In recent years, although Kangxi did not say it clearly, there was a question inside: Does the prince still have the idea of ​​a prince and a father? This time, Li Jun died unjustly, and Wang Jichen insisted that it was the prince who sent someone to instruct him, Kangxi's suspicion became even more serious.

Kangxi took the file attached to Ma Qi, and it was recorded that Wang Jichen and others were directly released from the supervisory students and were actually insignificant magistrates and counties, and had not been introduced by the Ministry of Personnel. This further proved the connection between this matter and the prince. Otherwise, according to the common law, most supervisory students only received some alternate missions, so how could they have a precedent for a fifth-rank magistrate? Even if they were simply ordered, they had to be introduced by the Ministry of Personnel and the emperor could only take office after the imperial edict was instructed by the emperor himself. The two of them were released from the southern tour of Kangxi and the prince's supervision. Kangxi left Beijing and the two of them were released from the post. However, they did not take the post immediately, but they came slowly after Kangxi left Jiangnan. If it were not for the intentional arrangement, there would be such a coincidence in the world?

There was always anger, but Kangxi calmly put down the case file quietly and said, "Su Chengpu, the magistrate of Fengxian, was wronged to death for no reason, and then refuted it in every possible way. He was killed by the prison guard. Wang Jichen, his subordinates were disregarded by others but failed to do anything first. The incident was caused by the incident and was later defamed and surrounded the prince. He was originally killed. He thought that he was quite regretful and sent him to Heilongjiang to guard the general of Heilongjiang. He was pardoned and refused to pardon him."

Ma Qi was shocked when he heard this. He thought that Kangxi would definitely kill the two of them, so he obliterated the matter, but he did not expect that Wang Jichen would be kept alive. Could it be that Kangxi wanted to use this person to keep a proof to let the prince learn a lesson? Or, he would not dare to think about it anymore.

Kangxi sighed slightly and said, "Ma Qi, since your grandfather Hashtun, the Fucha family has followed the Aisin Jueluo clan to fight in the east and west, and has made countless contributions. What's more valuable is that the Fucha family, from your ancestor to your father, has always used the word loyalty as the foundation for their establishment from beginning to end. Now, with what you do today, I can see your ancestor and father's style, and I am very pleased. I don't need to give you more instructions, just do it well."

Ma Qi could naturally hear the sound of this, and hurriedly kowtowed, saying, "The slave family has received great favor from the emperor. We should work hard to serve and die before we die."

Kangxi nodded and said, "I trust you. You will go and send an imperial edict later. Shi Shilun is good at governing, and immediately transfer to the prefect of Jiangning." After a pause, Kangxi continued, "There are many incidents on the border recently, and there must be a battle between me and Galdan. I intend to fight for the second time, and the matter of food and grass is the key to success or failure. Xiangbei (Li Tianfu, then Minister of the Ministry of Revenue) recently lost his mother and submitted a memorial to obey the system. I have thought about it, you have always been careful and can do things in a solid manner. Only when you go to the Ministry of Revenue will I feel at ease."

In just a few short words, he actually transferred all the people involved in this matter. Ma Qi understood in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything more, but just kowtowed to thank God for his kindness.

When Ma Qi left, Kangxi immediately called Li Dequan and ordered him to quickly pass the fourth son Yinzhen to come. Li Dequan was puzzled and couldn't help but say more and said, "Master, it's too late, the palace gate is about to be released. Slave..." Before he finished speaking, Kangxi had already slashed his face with a palm, making Li Dequan stagger. Kangxi's face was so gloomy that he shouted, "Dog! I'm afraid that I'll spoil you too much, and you'll be less and less. When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?"

Li Dequan was so scared that he lay on the ground, trembling, and dared not say anything more. After serving Kangxi for many years, Li Dequan knew Kangxi's temperament well. The more he made an excuse, the worse the situation was. It would be better to kowtow desperately. Instead, Kangxi might be proud. Sure enough, seeing Li Dequan's embarrassing look, Kangxi's expression calmed down a little and said, "Get out and do your job. Half an hour, I can't find the Fourth Prince. No need to say more, go to the purity room to get to die!"

Li Dequan then felt a little relieved, took the emperor's order, ran out in a hurry, hurriedly searching in the direction of Xiliu, and kept begging the gods and Buddhas in his heart: the blessing of the compassionate Buddha Bodhisattva, the Fourth Prince has not left the palace yet, Fourth Prince, you have to talk more with the Thirteenth Prince. If you always return to the mansion, your life will be gone!" As he thought about it, he almost tripped by his own steps.
