Chapter 175 Southern Tour (6)
After hearing the Chen memorial of Yinxiang and Yinzhen, Kangxi looked at the light cloth bag in his hands, and said nothing for a while, then looked outside the boat without knowing what to think. Yinxiang, Yinzhen stood silently on the side, and did not dare to disturb Kangxi. It was not until Kangxi sighed softly that Yinxiang carefully advised: "The emperor, don't worry too much. The fourth brother and the eighth brother must have arranged relief. Now there is an emergency for grain. The government is setting up a porridge shed to help the people affected by the disaster in nearby prefectures and counties. When the son and the sons heard that the people were grateful for the priests and said they would offer umbrellas for the people." Seeing that Kangxi was still as deep as water, Yinzhen followed Yinxiang's wishes: "What the Thirteenth brother said is that the people's requests are nothing more than stuttering. The sons and the Thirteenth brother were careful along the way, regardless of the countryside in the city, they are now in order, and there is no chaos at all."
Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "You two are not just relaxing for me? Whose idea is the cloth bag you have just said? But are you planning to tell Shi Shilun?" After saying that, he looked at Yinxiang. Yinxiang was speechless for a moment, and his face turned red. Kangxi looked at the two sons in front of him, and finally showed some kindness. He nodded and said, "I have no intention of blame you. You are also considered to be doing your best this time, and I am quite pleased. Although Shi Shilun did not serve you,
The order was to cut off the grain, which was inconsistent with the system, but he could judge the situation and do things that benefit the country and the people without avoiding the discussion. I would not blame him." Yinxiang and Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Kangxi continued, "You go and call Ma Qi, Zhang Yushu handed me the sign to see me, I have something to tell them. You should settle it earlier, and I may want to let you go back to Huaiyin tomorrow." Kangxi's tone was filled with some rare tenderness. When the brothers heard it, they secretly felt very happy.
In the inner hall of Huaiyin Mansion, Yinsi sat on his own and took a sip of tea slowly. Yinzhen looked at him and tried to slow down his voice and said, "Eighth brother, it's not the fourth brother's demands. As princes, we must avoid suspicion in some things." Yinsi couldn't see the expression on his face, and said lightly: "I don't understand the fourth brother's words. I'm not sure what I did on my wrong steps. I'd like to ask the fourth brother to teach me." Yinzhen was secretly annoyed. Yinsi had been expelling Dong Anguo in his words the day before yesterday, but he thought that Yinzhen really didn't know who Dong Anguo was?
Three years ago, he was appointed as Zhili by Cheng Long. The foundation was because of Jin Fu. In the previous dispute between Jin Fu and Yu Cheng Long, Kangxi finally favored Jackie Chan, and Jin Fu was taken away from his post. However, the lessons of governing the river for several years made Kangxi realize that what Jin Fu discussed was the right way. Just when he was about to resume Jin Fu's position, he was shocked to hear that the old minister had passed away due to long-term depression. Jin Fu's death made Kangxi quite upset. He felt guilty and took his anger on Jackie Chan, so he moved him to the governor of Zhili.
When the supervision was vacant, Dong Anguo was just the Minister of Works. He usually followed the eldest prince's way. When he learned this, he asked the eldest prince to submit a recommendation book. When the eldest prince followed twice, it was the time when the reputation between the government and the country was the most famous. Kangxi's letter to the eldest prince was almost every book, so Dong Anguo jumped to the third level and became the Heguan. Since Yinsi entered the study at the age of six, he was raised by Concubine Hui, the mother of the eldest prince, and has always been close to the eldest prince. But was Yinsi treating Dong Anguo like this for the eldest prince or for himself?
Yinzhen sighed in his heart and said, "Well, the eighth brother will weigh the pros and cons. Now Yu Chenglong has issued a death order. Anyone who dares to take a step back with the critical situation will use the Emperor's Sword given by the Emperor Ama to kill first and then report. Officials from all prefectures and counties along the river are rushing to repair river workers. If the eighth brother doesn't mind, what about going on with me?" Yinsi nodded and said, "But it's up to the fourth brother to give me the order."
Inside the imperial boat, Kangxi was slightly angry and said, "The court has been poor for more than ten years and has been very expensive. He thought he could return a peaceful and clear yellow water in the world, but now the yellow water is still flooding, endangering more than a dozen prefectures and counties. This southern tour, I specially issued an order, and officials should not accept it. Government affairs and civil affairs should be the priority. However, Zhang Penghong and Song Lun still stopped the yamen and followed me all day long, resulting in Shi Shilun's report, the disaster victims had no food to save, and I had no side.
Are you there anyone? Do you want them to serve him closely?" Ma Qi and Zhang Yushu both knelt on the ground. The two knew that Kangxi was angry about the water disaster. At this time, he was just a vent. A few days ago, when Zhang Penghu and Song Lu were welcomed, Kangxi was still very happy and comforted the two of them, "You are all old people around me. I don't care if you don't come. But I know that even if you have the will, you will definitely come to accompany you." Now, only a few days ago,
Zhang Penghong and Song Lu were afraid they would have to eat a big bar.
Ma Qi was determined to relax the cheeks for the two of them, and then hesitated for a while before he carefully said: "Your Majesty, I think that although Shi Shilun's actions are reckless, they are still appropriate. Moreover, the fourth and eighth princes are both staying in Huaiyin, but they can be treated as a matter of relief at the moment. Yu Chenglong is in charge of water control. The superiors and subordinates should be in charge. Zhang Penghong and Song Lu have been the emperor for a long time and have always been careful. Not to mention the other persons, Zhang Penghong followed Jin Fu to control the water, and his hands were covered with calluses. Song Lu is also known for his integrity..."
Kangxi waved his hand and interrupted Ma Qi, saying, "People always say that I am kind, but I think you are really kind. But in just a few words, you have told you all the good things about those people." After a pause, Kangxi said casually: "Although I was annoyed, I was more annoyed by myself." Hearing Kangxi's statement as if he was guilty of himself, Ma Qi and Zhang Yushu immediately kowtowed and apologized. Kangxi ordered the two to get up and said, "Zhang and Song are still required to punish them. As for the brigade, the water conditions and disasters were initially unable to plan in time, and they were demoted to one level and fined them for one year's salary. As for Shi Shilun, what do you think?"
Ma Qi had no good feelings for Shi Shilun in private, but more than a year ago, Ma Qi was ordered to investigate the dike repair project. Kangxi specially sent four Lanfeng guards to show his gratitude. These four guards were from ordinary officials and worked in foreign work on weekdays. His rank was not high, so he was naturally the one who was called by others. With Ma Qi on a foreign businessman, he was considered half an imperial envoy, so he regarded himself as a figure. Ma Qi went to Taizhou and worked with the river in conjunction with the river, but did not live in the yamen, but patrolled along the dike. He set up a tent to rest when he was late. These four guards thought that they could eat delicious food and drink some benefits when they were on business trips, but they did not expect that this was the situation.
Naturally, he was resentful, but he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Ma Qi, so he could only hang out with the soldiers on the river. Many of the soldiers on the river were bullying the good gangster Qiu Ba. With the guards, he was forced to do some traitors that harass the place. He was sued at Shi Shilun. Shi Shilun was not polite and ordered a group of government servants to join the sentry borrowed from the city camp to take a big stick and follow them every day. If the soldiers do some stealing activities, they will directly swing the big stick and beat it up. Although Shi Shilun said that he was considering Ma Qi's face, and if something happened, he would only fight the river soldiers, Ma Qi always felt a little awkward.
Now that Kangxi asked himself, Ma Qi made up his mind and bowed: "I thought Shi Shilun had the talent of a capable minister, but I still need to practice one or two more times. I have heard that Shi Shilun is quite insightful in the prison. At present, Hunan Censors need to be in charge of the system. Can they be transferred to Hunan?"
