Chapter 172 Southern Tour (3)
.Standing on the side of the boat, Yinzhen looked at the two sides. There seemed to be a light red in the distance. There were a few peach blossoms with some leftovers, and some were already lost in the water. Yinzhen felt a thump in his heart and recalled two poems: Don’t laugh at the moment, and compete for beauty and a new spring. This was attached by his master Gu Badai on the mud seal of the peach blossom wine he gave back to him.
When Yinzhen learned that Master Gu Xiuzhi was a little surprised. After inquiring about it, he heard that Master Gu was displeased in order to help him fight for the throne. He immediately ordered him to Xiuzhi. This really made Yinzhen very sad. The court officials knew about Gu Badai's affairs. Some people took the opportunity to take the blame and impeached him, but Kangxi kept him and refused to issue it. They just issued an order to ask Gu Badai to return to his residence to study. Knowing that Master Gu often suffered from lung heat when winter and spring were alternating between winter and spring, Yinzhen specially prepared some excellent Cordyceps sinensis, astragalus and other tonic medicinal materials, and personally delivered them to Master Gu's mansion, but unexpectedly he was turned away.
Shortly after the housekeeper of Gu's house went to report, he returned with an apology and told Yinzhen: "Forgive me, Master Beile. Since my parents are ordered to study, it is not convenient to see guests again. My parents received some supplements from Master Beile. I specially ordered the smallest to give this jar of peach blossom wine brewed by the adults." After that, he held a small jar of wine to Yinzhen with both hands. Qin Shun, who was serving Yinzhen, wanted to take it over, but Yinzhen saw the housekeeper's solemnity, and took it by himself.
While pressing Yinzhen for the sedan chair, Qin Shun muttered: "The peach blossoms are not yet blooming, they are bare. Where did the peach blossom wine come from? I'm afraid that Master Gu gave it to the old wine from last year? The fragrance of flowers in the taste is much lighter." Although Yinzhen was a little suspicious, he still blamed Qin Shun for talking too much. After sitting in the warm sedan chair, Yinzhen realized that there were two lines of fly-headed characters on the red mud seal paper in the wine jar, which were the two sentences, "Don't laugh at the less color at this time, and there is another spring on the branches." After reading it twice, he found that it was hiding his head: Don't fight, don't fight! Is this the advice Master Gu left to himself? Chewing the fourteen words carefully, Yinzhen seemed to have a new understanding, and what is dormant for a moment. For example, like peach blossoms, even if he looked at the branches empty at this time, and when the spring breeze blows by, the blooming scene is not comparable to the flowers next to him?
"Fourth brother, has the Emperor Ah Ma responded to you?" Yinzhen's thoughts were disrupted by the sudden sentence of the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang. Looking at Yinxiang who was a little anxious behind him, Yinzhen smiled helplessly and said, "The Emperor Ah Ma guessed your thoughts, but he still responded." Yinxiang showed excitement. Just as he was about to speak, he was poured on by Yinzhen's cold water: "But, if you do something wrong, you must look like you do something wrong. You are not allowed to show off the prince's pomp and suppress the ministers who are doing things below. Otherwise, you have to go back to the boat obediently and continue holding it in." Yinxiang saw Yinzhen's words
Seriously, he didn't dare to smile anymore, and said solemnly: "I have recorded it, so I will not let the emperor down. The fourth brother is disappointed." Yinzhen nodded and asked, "Eighth brother, where is the fourteenth brother?" Yinxiang still couldn't hold back, and showed a little smirk, saying, "Biggage and Fourteenth brother have been waiting for a long time. They are a little afraid of the fourth brother. You always look meticulous, how dare they urge the fourth brother like me?" This sentence made Yinzhen laugh and said, "You are afraid of me. God is pitiful. I'm afraid that you are the younger brothers who are always scheming my younger brothers behind their backs."
Hearing that the ministers of the river were gathered in Huai'an Prefecture to discuss matters, Yinzhen and the four of them took a dozen guards on a small boat and headed straight to the Huai'an Prefecture, and then abandoned the boat and hurried to the government office. When they were dismounted, two governors of the river, Yu Chenglong, Dong Anguo, Governor of the Grain Transport, Sang'er, and Xu Tingxi, the Minister of Works, had received the news from the guards before and waited at the front of the government office, followed by a Huai Yingdao and a Huai'an prefect. At this moment, Yu Chenglong took the lead and took down the horse's hoof sleeves, and the officials all took a thousand roads: "I (slave) and others asked the Emperor, the Holy An, Yong Beile, Lian Beile, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince." Yinzhen was the leader and stood in the south and said, "Sage Gong'an." Then he announced the decree of Kangxi.
After the decree was announced, Yinzhen helped him a little and said, "Sir, please come up. In addition to promulgation, the three princes and I only came to see the progress of the river engineering in accordance with the emperor's oral order. You don't need to misunderstand that we are not a genuine imperial envoy. Apart from telling you about the regulations that the emperor has won, we just look at and listen, and don't make any decisions for you." Yu Chenglong had dealt with Yinzhen, and knew that this prince's temperament was only concerned about reality in everything, so he
He gave in and said, "Fourth Prince, three princes are invited to the three halls to talk. The officials and others are discussing the matter of dredging and digging the river." Yinzhen took two steps forward, and then he saw clearly that Huai Yingdao, who was following several first-rank officials, was also an acquaintance. "Ten Incomplete" Shi Shilun. Yinzhen nodded and smiled slightly at him, but Shi Shilun seemed to have not seen it, and stood half-bearing. Yinzhen thought of his scholarly pride, and felt a little respect in his heart.
After entering the three halls, the princes sat in the middle of the order of the elders and young people, and Yu Chenglong and the following were with him. Yu Chenglong bowed and said, "Fourth Prince, the water of the Yellow River is rising, and it seems to be in a situation of taking over the Huai River. A few days ago, I urgently summoned thousands of civilians to build a dike on the south bank of the Yellow River. I had already seen some results, and it was in line with the emperor's will. The emperor ordered the deepest river bottom and changed the curves to make a straightforward strategy. I think it is even a very good and wise strategy. I think the emperor is a hundred miles away from the water, but he can break this. He taught Yu He to work with the ministers who have been working for a lifetime. "After hearing this, Yinzhen nodded, and thought to himself that Yu Chenglong had been in the capital for the past two years, and his words began to be flattered.
Dong Anguo continued with a shameless expression: "What Master Yu said is very much. The criminal minister was a corrupt scholar who received the emperor's deep grace and was appointed as the governor of the river, but he was blocked by the river work. The Yellow River was not able to respond in time and did not act in a timely manner, and the water was inappropriate, which not only affected the emperor's concern for the water, but also caused the people of the seven prefectures and counties to be in danger. The criminal minister had already submitted a memorial to apologize and waited for the emperor to make a decision."
Yinzhen noticed that Dong Anguo's head had been removed by himself, and was about to speak, Yinsi had already interrupted: "Mr. Dong doesn't have to blame himself too much. Since he took office, he has made no contributions and worked hard. Now that he knows his shortcomings, he can react himself; when he knows his difficulties, he can be self-improvement. As long as he can work hard, he must do his best. If he can make some contributions to the river affairs, the fourth brother and I will talk to him for him."
Yinzhen frowned slightly. According to Kangxi's intention, he wanted to denounce Dong Anguo well and act as a commissioner. Now Yinsi's words were deliberately dragged on him and even pretended to be in charge of him.
