Lin Yutong jumped off the kang and walked back and forth on the ground wearing socks. "If you guessed wrong..." Her face showed a bit of harshness, "Then I will make it true too." Thinking of the Fourth Master, her heart became even stronger, "I feel sorry for my own man. If I want to be a sure thing, I will make a foregone conclusion."

After thinking about the way out, you still have to check what you should do, what if it is true.

She called the commander of the sticker and gave a detailed command before she could let the person go down.

That's right, the sticking rod has now turned into her hands. Lin Yutong arranged many trivial things, and she only told the Fourth Master whenever she was necessary.

When I came back tonight, Lin Yutong told the Fourth Master his guess, "...The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case..."

The Fourth Master leaned against the kang and chuckled, "You think so, I thought so, and even he thought so before. He didn't care about checking, and I'm afraid that when he wanted to check it, he was afraid of leaking news. After all, his situation was different from ours. Lao Ba and the others kept causing trouble, making noise, and watching jokes. If they really checked it, they wouldn't be able to suppress it. What about me? I'm not afraid of anything. With the things we have now, let alone being in chaos, even if they get messy, there is nothing scary."

Lin Yutong gave him a blank look and said, "Why would you mess with me if you can avoid causing trouble?" But he said this to be a courageous person and saved her from worries, so she still obediently agreed.

The Fourth Master mentioned this sentence, and didn't ask a question about the rest of the matter. Tongtong had nothing to worry about when doing things.

What is really worrying is that I have arrived at Tongzhou Wharf now.

Hongzhou shrank his head and entered the cabin. He felt it was boring to come out. Although he didn't show off his appearance, Li Wei was very careful. Before he arrived at the dock, he cleared the people out early. He originally thought he could see the prosperous scene of the dock, but there were not many hairs.

Either they avoid it early or they are shrouded in the cabin and dare not show up. There are not many boats parked on the river, and all those who can get ashore have gone ashore. They will move in the water every once in a while, for fear of freezing on the hull.

Why is it so cold this year?

After entering the cabin, the interior was well arranged. From here, it can be seen that Li Wei is indeed a very careful person. People in a warm environment are prone to sleepiness.

Seeing the prince lying on the couch and looking like he was indulging in love, Li Wei was still dedicated to being a daddy, "Fifth Prince, I've been out for a long time. Do you think you're using food..."

"If you have anything to eat, just go there." Hongzhou got up and asked Xiao Luzi to untie him the cloak, then pointed to the stool, "Sit as you like, Lord Li. We are going all the way, it's so annoying to be so polite..."

Li Wei also looked at him along the way. This person is not the same as the common third and fourth princes. He is a bit tempted with him. He sat over and said with a smile: "I finally came out. The prince should take a good look at the customs and culture. Why do you look like this?"

Hongzhou's eyebrows and eyes drooped, "Do you really don't know or fake, we have a lot of trouble when we come out this time. If no one comes out, I will send you my master... If others don't say it, just say my fourth brother. If this is a good thing, he would have come out long ago, and it will be my turn?" He wanted to hide!

Li Wei was not easy to answer, so he slapped his thigh, "There is a good thing, prince, wait, I asked someone to buy it. You must have never eaten this thing..."

Hongzhou was not angry without getting a response, and he couldn't get upset. He had to rely on others along the way. In addition, the favored minister of Emperor Ama, this awkwardness was not worth making a fuss. He put away the melancholy on his face and showed a little interest.

As a result, it turned out that it was a big piece of soy sauce tofu.

"The specialty of my hometown is now along the canal." Li Wei's saliva was almost over, "As long as he passes through the state, the servants will always get a piece of it. I can't stand it."

It is said that the dishes in the south are exquisite, but I never thought there would be such a generous way to eat them.

Hongzhou was curious about everything. As long as he had never seen it before, he wanted to try whatever he had done, no matter what he had good or bad. So the supper was ordered like this, with a few freshly salvaged river food, and a piece of soy sauce tofu. The two of them killed a jar of good wine.

Of course, 80% of the cases were asked to drink from Li Wei. However, the remaining 20% ​​was enough to make Hongzhou dizzy.

After Hongzhou finally stopped complaining about sleeping on the table, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it was not difficult to do it, and he could cover up any difficult chores. The difficulty was to serve these little ancestors. Of course, the fifth prince is relatively easy to serve. If it were the fourth prince, it would be difficult. The way people can win over people is one by one. If they want to avoid it or refuse, then wait to use their brains. Compared to this person, this person is much simpler.

Seeing that the person had settled the little ancestor, he returned to his warehouse.

This time, the master paid for it. The ship he made himself looked dull, but this level was really not a shame, and the time spent on the road was reduced by more than half.

Hongzhou had never left the house. It was too cold and he didn't leave the cabin much. Li Wei could always take out some fresh things for him to enjoy, so he really didn't see any strange things about the ship.

"This Lord Li is really capable." Xiao Luzi told Hong Zhou like this after Li Wei left this time.

Hongzhou played with the dice in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "It's good to have the ability! If you have the ability, it's easy."

Xiao Luzi didn't understand what this meant, but he nodded, "Just just playing dice, it's not a loss if I learn it."

Hongzhou laughed, "That's right!" If Emperor Ama knew that he would learn this after he came out, it would be strange if he didn't kick him to death when he went back.

But that's good. Being treated as a child is much better than being asked by an adult on the spot.

So one coaxed and the other was happy to coax, and then arrived in Jiangnan safely.

He called Li Wei and said that the fifth prince is really a worry-free and good boy.

The worry-free child Hongzhou had already beaten people and sent letters to the three people when Li Wei didn't know.

Why so anxious?

He ate, drank and had fun along the way, but he didn't care less about it. Fuck. What did he do this trip? To put it bluntly, he just went to Beijing with money.

Why did Uncle Eight suggest that someone with enough status be suppressed? Isn’t it just that he is afraid of greed again? Jewelry is decorated with the next generation and stuffed it into the box. Who will tell you clearly what’s going on? When was it replaced? Can you tell you clearly?

If something really happens, who will Emperor Ama suspect? Uncle Eighth is the person who is most closely tied to Jiangnan.

So, the smart eighth uncle pushed himself out.

Why is it himself? He is the emperor. Hongshi and Hongli, who are also the emperor, Hongshi is too honest. An honest child cannot do this. Hongli, let alone others have errands, but they are always in charge of affairs in the capital. Even if he has no errands, the eighth uncle will not agree. Why? From the beginning of the work to the present, Hongli has made every arrangement to seek profit and avoid harm. How could these emperor uncles who have become elites not understand? So, when the emperor called, he understood everything when he saw the eighth uncle at the place where the marquis saw him, and this matter was not easy to handle. Who wouldn't he hide the money he had greedy, so he could easily find it? Especially when he knew it was a dead end, would he just give up his foundation? He could be an official, a high-ranking official, and a corrupt official, there were no fools among these people.

After getting off the ship, the imperial envoy relied on the imperial envoy. Only then did the Jiangnan official realize that the emperor sent the imperial envoy to Jiangnan.

Li Wei was busy and arranged for Hongzhou to "the slave beat someone and take his little master around..."

"You go and do your business." Hongzhou waved his hand, "Imperial Mafa went to Jiangnan several times back then, and the place he had been lucky... I should go and worship him. You don't need to accompany you."

Li Wei felt a little moved and looked at Hongzhou in surprise. Is this fifth prince really smart? Or is it that the blind cat met a dead mouse?

He was thinking about whether to take down the criminals while these ministers were paying the imperial envoys, but he didn't expect that the fifth prince came up with such an idea.

That’s right! If you pay a visit to the late emperor and walk again along the footsteps of the late emperor, how dare these officials from Jiangnan do not follow?

Is there any better excuse than this?

These officials can use the excuse of busy official duties as an excuse, but you can give up on the visit of the late emperor.

Thinking of this, his 1.9-meter-old man bent down, saluted at the 1.6-meter-old little brat, and tried to shout, "Little master?"

Hongzhou raised his eyes and paired with Li Wei. Li Wei immediately understood that this guy had the idea.

This is really a spirit.

The two of them were a little tacit, and no one called him. Hongzhou continued his itinerary, and Li Wei arranged for his affairs.

But when the imperial envoy arrived, Li Xu's heart was raised.

It came too fast.

I was very anxious, and I knew without asking that Li Yutang must have taken everything. But he was really unsure of how much this person confessed.

I was just asking someone to go and ask for a while, but Hong Shi came.

Li Xu frowned tightly. It was a coincidence that he had just received the news that these three little princes would no longer copy the filial piety scriptures in the palace.

No matter what he thought, Li Xu hurriedly went out, "Come in and ask me. I'm going to invite you." His tone was a little impatient: "The imperial envoy has arrived..."

Hongzhi laughed: "I came here for this. The fifth prince was going to pay homage to the late emperor along the way, so we brothers had to rush back."

Is the fifth prince coming?

Li Xu felt relieved. He really didn't know the news. He only knew that it was a little man named Li Wei, who was unknown, and brought a prince to him. He was not afraid of the prince, even the third prince was still a boy in their eyes. He was afraid that the old prince would be the one who would be the end.

Now that he saw the little prince sincerely invite him to go with him, he immediately smiled, "I'm going to make arrangements now."

The winter in the south is different from that in the capital, and it is not that cold and unbearable.

The three of them rode on the horse in parallel. Hong Ting looked at Li Xu, who was falling behind and didn't know what to arrange, and asked Hong Ting, "Why did the fifth prince choose this place in Gaoyou Lake?"

"Why did you choose such a place?" Li Wei stood by the lake, looking at the endless lake water, "Why didn't I expect it?" Gaoyou Lake is both a lake and a river, and it can directly connect to the canal. Along the canal north is Tongzhou, and it reaches the boundary of the capital.

What a great place to go.

When officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River gathered, Hongzhou said, "...Every time Huangmafa went south, he had to inspect the river engineering. The first southern tour was northern Jiangsu. At that time, he moved from Suzhou to Qinghe, a journey of 200 miles, and walked for a full twelve days. Wherever he passed, he saw the river engineering work and transported soil and built it hard. He specially stopped his car many times, walked out, and personally comforted him. He also ordered Jin Fu and other ministers to strictly prevent unworthy officials from eroding the already meager labor wages, and ensure that everyone could get a fixed amount of money.

A few days later, the late emperor took a boat from Qinghe to the canal along the canal. When he passed Gaoyou Lake, he saw that most of the folk fields and houses were immersed in the water. He was very uneasy. He walked the lake embankment for more than ten miles to observe the situation, summoned local elders and scholars to learn more about the cause of the flood, and find a solution." Speaking of this, he pointed to the long embankment, "This is where the late emperor once walked." As he said that, he looked at Li Xu, who was standing behind Hongzhi and others, and said: "Mr. Li has deep trust in the late emperor, but still remember the situation at that time?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Xu, who bowed and bowed. Recalling the late emperor was something he and he was willing to do.

At this time, when the fifth prince did not ask anyone, he asked himself, and asked him what he had asked for his trust in the late emperor. He had no doubts in his heart. He really remembered the kindness of the late emperor, and his eyes turned red, and his voice was a little choked, and he said loudly: "The late emperor once said to the accompanying Governor Wang Xinming Wang, "I originally wanted to visit the sufferings of the people. Any local pros and cons, I must try to improve and eliminate them so that they can get their place. Now that I have witnessed the flood in this place, how can I not save it?' Then the late emperor issued an edict that all prefectures and counties with floods should be investigated in detail one by one, and after the exact verification, it must be solved. It is necessary to use as much as the funds are needed, and it is not hesitant to use them."

Hongzhou nodded, "Mr. Li is not a loss for being a loyal minister. Now, the voice, appearance and smile of the previous emperor seem to be right in front of him. In the palace, I often hear Emperor Ama talk about the great achievements of the previous emperor. If I remember correctly, after the former emperor met King Wang Xinming, he could not sleep at night that night. The poem "Huaiyang suffered from floods, and the waves were always vast. The dragon boat passed by, and the island was like a state of sight. The fields were all over the land and the house was half over. The innocent people lived in deep and slums. They were alert to their hearts and had no way to swagger.' It was exactly what they did that night."

Li Xu hurriedly said "yes"! Unexpectedly, such a little older child knew the deeds of the late emperor as he knew them well.

Hongyu looked at each other with three eyes, and Hongyu really put a big thought into it.

Hongzhou sighed: "The late emperor's love for the people is known to everyone in the world. I remember that Emperor Ama mentioned that before the late emperor's first southern tour, Lord Yu Shilong, the governor of Liangjiang, passed away. The late emperor was very sorry and asked in the court, "How many honest officials are there today like Yu Chenglong?"

Everyone's ears were erect, and it finally came to the point.

Hongzhou glanced at Li Wei who was standing quietly in the distance. Seeing Li Wei nodding slightly, he then withdrew his gaze and continued: "Yes! How many honest officials can be like Yu Chenglong today?"

Everyone was shocked. Is this really for the sake of corruption?

But Hongzhou only asked himself a sigh and laughed again. Then the topic was disconnected just now continued: "When the late emperor asked, there were seven answers, including Zhang Penghong, Guo Xiu and Peng Peng. But the late emperor did not believe it easily. In the autumn of that year, he passed by Yanzhou in southern tour and met Zhang Penghong in Yanzhou. After investigation, he was promoted from the governor of Zhejiang to the Minister of Personnel. From then on, Zhang was promoted from the governor of Zhejiang to the Minister of Personnel. When he went to Wujiang, Jiangsu, he was sent to the people, and the people praised the magistrate of the county as a good official, and he was promoted to the censor and later as the governor of Huguang. In addition, there were a large number of officials, all of whom were all honest officials who were briefly promoted on the southern tour of the late emperor. I believe that six or seven out of ten were good officials recognized by the late emperor..."

As soon as the words were finished, there were sobs in the crowd. Whether it was to really commemorate the late emperor, to thank the late emperor for his kindness, or to do political show, the mood was mobilized at this time, which can be said to be the most relaxed state.

As Hongzhou said, six or seven out of ten of them were good and honest officials recognized by the late emperor. This sounded like a investigation of corrupt officials, but more like a pacification of officials in Jiangnan.

Everyone felt relieved. The battle in Qinghai was about to come, and Jiangnan was a wealthy granary. Jiangnan would not move anywhere. Not only could they not move, but they also had to try their best to appease them. You can't fight in front and in chaos in the rear.

Thinking of this, they exchanged glances in private and followed Hongzhou to commemorate the person.

Hongxuan frowned and looked at Hongzhi, "Why do I think it's wrong?"

It's wrong!

That's not what the emperor said before leaving.

The two looked at Hongzhou, and Hongzhou blinked at them, and then looked like nostalgic.
To be continued...
