Chapter 388 The Qing Dynasty Through a Sieve ([-])
The successive blows made Kangxi unable to hold on any longer. He couldn't sleep for six days in a row. Every time he closed his eyes, he could see Queen Hesheli crying silently at him, as if he could see the eighteenth elder brother Zhang Arms out to him for a hug.

Although he imprisoned Yinreng, he was angry and unwilling to visit him, but he couldn't bear it after all, and told Liang Jiugong to be careful not to shorten Yinreng's food and clothing expenses.

He was afraid that because Yin Reng was deposed, he would be scorned by those servants who were accustomed to taking advantage of the situation.

The news of the deposed Yinfeng and the death of the eighteenth elder brother was sent back to the capital together.

Yinhu heaved a long sigh. His eighteenth brother still went. Although the imperial doctor had prepared them mentally, he was still very sad to hear the news. The child was still so young.

Once the crown prince is abolished, the people in the court are in turmoil. Everyone hopes that they can press the treasure, so that the glory and wealth of the rest of their lives will be preserved.

The prince was deposed on the fourth day of September, and Ling Pu, the prince's domineering father-in-law, was also finished.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fat job that everyone is staring at, was handed over to Yinhu by Kangxi three days later.

At least for now, Kangxi trusts and relies on Yinhu, and he knows that this son can handle everything well.

Yinhu became the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and many ministers congratulated him secretly. Everyone thought it was a signal from Kangxi.

Today Yinhu can replace the princeling's head of internal affairs, and tomorrow he can replace Yinfeng's prince.

Everyone is convinced of this.

Seeing the direction of the wind in the middle of the court suddenly changed, Lin Mu felt infinitely sad, the prelude to the fierce battle of the nine sons was about to begin.

During the few days when Kangxi was resting in the palace and hadn't returned yet, something happened to Yinhu and Yinzhen in the capital.

A servant of the household department in the capital actually took advantage of Kangxi's tour outside the Great Wall to steal a sum of money, which was not much.

The Ministry of punishment came to ask the two masters for instructions.

When Yinhu found out, he wanted to demote the servant of the household department and asked him to pay back the money three times.

However, Yinzhen demanded that the official be dismissed and exiled on the basis of three times the repayment, and his two sons should be demoted.

The official was not a member of the Baye Party, Yinhu just went to their house to find out the situation in person, and learned that the household servant's mother was seriously ill and was hanging with ginseng, so he had no choice but to do so.

Yinhu has always believed in the Confucian rule of benevolence. Of course, this is also learned from Kangxi. Although Kangxi was decisive and iron-blooded, most of the time he still adhered to the rule of benevolence.

He found out that the servant of the household department had no criminal record of corruption, and he wanted to let him go.

But Yinzhen disagreed. He believed in the rule of law of the Legalists. He believed that if the servant of the household department was let go now, others would imitate him in the future. No reason could be the reason for tolerating corruption.

No, Yinzhen and Yinhu were discussing this matter in the study room. Lin Mu was supposed to be the hostess to deliver some tea to Yinzhen, but he didn't go in after hearing the intense discussion between the two.

The two were discussing with the "Great Qing Law" there, and Lin Mu thought for a moment that he had returned to the law firm.

Yinhu insisted that in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the servant of the household department belonged to the scope of receiving wealth and not breaking the law, and he only committed corruption, and did not accept bribes or embezzlement, so he should be dealt with lightly.

However, Yinzhen insisted that this kind of corruption should also be counted together with the crime of corruption.

Yinhu said: "fourth brother, if you infringe on the money and food in the warehouse, you should recover the compensation. The crime is based on loss of money, so you can still be lenient if you complete the money within the limit. Besides, our dynasty has regulations on the reduction of stolen goods, so I think there is no need to exile or be implicated, and asking for three times the restitution before demoting the official is enough to serve as a warning to others."

"Then tell the Ministry of Punishment as Eighth Brother said." Yinzhen knew that what Yinhu quoted was correct, and he had nothing to refute, and he couldn't change the "Law of the Qing Dynasty".

Lin Mu listened to their discussion outside the door. The issue of official administration in the Qing Dynasty has always been a big problem. Kangxi ruled the country with benevolence. In the later period, official corruption has become more serious.

If it is true that Kangxi is followed by Yinhu who also pursues the rule of benevolence, what will it be like? Can the corruption problem be solved in his hands?

Although Yinzhen was too ruthless and cold-blooded towards his brothers, he could even be called cruel and cruel, but his iron-blooded wrists did rectify the problems of government officials since Kangxi.

Lin Mu also saw a shining point of humanity in Yinzhen, whom she had always been afraid of. This person may not be a good brother, but he will be a good emperor who can carry out reforms.

Later, Yinhu also asked people to send a lot of ginseng and silver coins to the servant of the household department.

Yinhu may have the intention to win him over, but it is also because of kindness.

Of course, it was also because he was rich, Jiuye was a wealthy man in the Qing Dynasty. His strong government background and flexible business acumen allowed him to spread his industries all over the country.

Yinhu often helps those poor literati, and also gives warmth to officials from poor families. It is thanks to Master Jiu that he can send money and goods to others so easily.

On September [-]th, Kangxi and his party finally returned to the capital.

On the same day, he ordered felt curtains to be set up next to the Shangsi courtyard where the emperor raised horses for Yinfeng to live in.He also ordered the fourth son of the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor to guard together.

And Kangxi summoned all the officials in the Meridian Gate to announce the arrest of the crown prince Yinfeng.He personally wrote the sacrificial oration, and on the [-]th, he offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji.Put the deposed crown prince under house arrest in Xian'an Palace.

He specially asked Yinti to show Yinreng the sacrificial oration written by himself together with all the emperor's younger brothers.

Yinfeng didn't even look at it, and said disheartenedly: "My crown prince was given by the emperor's father. If the emperor wants to abolish it, he can abolish it, so he can avoid suing heaven."

Yinti and Yinzhen played this sentence to Kangxi.

Kangxi was so angry that he threw away all the memorials and said angrily, "You don't have to play what he says in the future."

All the elder brothers were very saddened to see that Yinfeng, who had received all the favors in the past and was proud of his horseshoe, is now in shackles and looking downcast.

Of course, no one knows whether this lament is sad, joyful or just a joke.

Come out of Xian'an Palace and return to Baye's Mansion.

Yinhu thought of the shackles on Yinrong's neck, and couldn't bear it. It happened that the Baye Party was having a meeting. Yinhu said to those brothers: "Why is the second brother still wearing shackles on his neck now? Huang Ama wouldn't ask for that, right? Those people are too out of line."

Lin Mu was on the side, she didn't expect that Yinhu would be wronged by Yinrong, she thought that the Baye Party should have a good celebration.

The tenth master disagreed: "It doesn't matter if Huang Ama asks for it, he has lost his sacred heart now, and everyone in the palace can't wait to step on it."

But Yinhu listened to Yinhu's words: "Huang Ama didn't issue an edict, so the second brother really shouldn't be put in shackles. I don't know what the eldest brother, fourth brother and those people below think."
