Prince Heng [Qing wear]

On October [-]th, Kangxi and his party arrived at Dashiqiao in Yizhou.He said to the great scholar beside him: "Once today's memorial is delivered, no matter when it is, present it to me immediately."

At the fourth watch that night, the memorial arrived, and Kangxi immediately got up to read it in detail until dawn.

In October, the ancient gate that had been closed for 300 years finally opened again, and the imperial court officially announced the end of the sea ban and the opening of Haikou.

The weather gradually turned cold, and the Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring winter clothes.Although Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry, he quickly ordered someone to accept it, and wrote a letter to inform his grandmother that he was safe and sound.He stood at the end of his age, when he was full of energy, he was diligent in governing and caring for the people, hoping to truly become an emperor praised in the history books, so that this life would not be in vain.

A few days later, the southern tour team set off from Xuzhou Prefecture and arrived in Taoyuan County.

Although the flood season of the Yellow River has passed, this mother river, which has nurtured thousands of Chinese people, always loses its temper every year, whether it is big or small, it is all up to God.

Kangxi personally inspected all the dangerous projects on the north bank of the Yellow River, and said to Jin Fu, the governor of the river: "When I was in the palace, I always paid attention to the river affairs. I have also read and recorded all the river maps and flood control books that you have presented over the years. But After all, I haven't seen the actual situation of the danger of the Yellow River with my own eyes, so I dare not jump to conclusions. I personally surveyed the terrain in detail in the past few days, and found that the seven areas of Xiaojiadu are really dangerous. The dam must protect the people in these places. What can you do?"

Jin Fu hurriedly said: "Long live, I believe that the Yellow River is the most troublesome and the most difficult thing to do. At present, the most urgent task of governing the Yellow River is to treat the big gap first, and have to ignore the small gap. Therefore, I use the dam to make the water at the breach. Weaken the water so that the river workers can deploy it. After the Yellow River has fully recovered to its original channel, I suggest that the dam be blocked again."

Kangxi pondered for a while, and said: "Of course I am assured of your ability. You have indeed made some achievements before. I recently inspected various projects and saw that the lives of river workers are really hard. As a river Governor, you must not withhold food from the river workers, and if there are casualties, you must take good care of the orphans and widows, and there must be no civil unrest."

"Yes, I will keep the emperor's will in mind." Jin Fu hastily expressed his loyalty to the emperor.

After Jin Fu left, Kangxi discussed Jin Fu with his valet Gao Shiqi: "Teacher, what do you think of Jin Fu?"

"The position of a humble minister is low and power is light, so I really dare not discuss Lord Jin's merits and demerits," although Gao Shiqi said so, but there was no fear on his face, leaving only a calm cloud, "However, Lord Jin ruled before The river has been very effective. In the 22nd year of Kangxi, the Xiaojiadu area has been merged, and the river has returned to its old way. Thinking about it, Mr. Jin should have his own unique way of governing the river."

"Jin Fuyu Zhihe is indeed capable, but he always makes me feel a little impetuous and can't calm down. Before, I was always worried that he would not succeed, but the result was beyond my expectation." Kangxi turned the table The memorial on the board was reviewed again.

"A talented person must be a bit arrogant and stubborn. Long live is a wise king, and a wise king treats his subordinates, so he can naturally tolerate the shortcomings and shortcomings of his subordinates. Mr. Jin was promoted by you personally, long live, which shows that you have a unique vision." Gao Shi Qi complimented.

Liang Jiugong, who was standing in the corner, twitched his mouth. This tall man is better at flattering than he is.

Kangxi laughed loudly: "It's like this, I wish it."

After three o'clock, Kangxi continued to read.

Liang Jiugong was worried about Long Live Lord's body, but he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only wink at Gao Shiqi so hard that the corners of his eyes almost cramped.

Gao Shiqi understood, and stepped forward to dissuade Kangxi: "Long live, it's already the third watch. You have to take care of the dragon body, don't overwork."

Kangxi said with a smile: "I have been reading at night since I was five years old, and I still enjoy it now. Besides, I am very energetic now, and I am not tired at all."

"Although Wansui is so eager to learn, you have been patrolling the river bank for a day today, and you are already tired. You can't compare it with the past. Wansui should rest earlier." Gao Shiqi persuaded.

"Alright. The teacher should also go back to the room to rest earlier, and you must take care of yourself." Kangxi laughed.

Although Mr. Gao is not a Jinshi in the second list, he is also knowledgeable and he is his good teacher and helpful friend.More importantly, apart from the imperial grandmother, Mr. Gao is one of the few elders who really care about him and love him from the bottom of his heart.It was another camaraderie he had never felt before.

It was November in a blink of an eye, and the winter clothes sent by the Empress Dowager finally came in handy.

On November [-], Kangxi once again paid homage to the Ming Tai-Zu Tomb in Nanjing. He personally wrote a letter of congratulations and sent officials to pay homage.These days, he lived in Jinling City, looked at the dilapidated Ming Dynasty Palace, and wrote "Passing Jinling Theory" out of emotion.

"After Wanli, the collection of taxes was complicated and the hearts of the people were scattered. The thieves spit on Yanjing with mobs, and the clan did not keep it... The death of the Ming Dynasty before 300 years is really a lesson for me." Kangxi said with emotion.

"Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said to Liang Gong: "Use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; use ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; use people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses." Daily vigilance is indeed the work of a wise king!" Gao Shiqi complimented, "You have been working hard these days and nights, working hard for the people on both sides of the Yellow River. It is really a blessing for the people and a blessing for the country! Thousands of meritorious deeds, one emperor through the ages."

"Then I hope the teacher can share my encouragement and become my Duke Wenzhen." Kangxi laughed.

"I obey the order, I will do my best to assist the emperor." Gao Shiqi laughed together.

Kangxi said with emotion: "That day, I saw Yu Chenglong, the magistrate of Jiangning, and felt that he was honest and self-motivated, and he should be a model for all officials to follow. What's more, he and Qingduan have the same name and surname, and both are honest people. It is quite a good story. What does the teacher think?"

Gao Shiqi's tone was light: "I don't know much about the living Lord Yu. It's just that when Lord Jin said goodbye that day, Weichen saw that the two adults seemed to be having some trouble, but he didn't know the reason. As for Qing Duan Gong is indeed a role model for our generation."

When Kangxi heard this, he knew that Gao Shiqi didn't like the current Yu Chenglong very much.It is also true that Yu Zhenjia is a prominent family in eastern Liaodong and a Han Chinese living in the banner, who has been favored by his ancestors.It can be said that apart from his appearance of a Han Chinese, he is already a complete Manchu.But Gao Shiqi, Jin Fu and other Han Chinese who passed the Jinshi examination were very different. They came from poor backgrounds, and there were differences between the two ethnic groups. Naturally, they looked at each other and hated each other.Now there are still conflicts between the Manchu and Han races, it seems that the trip to Qufu is imperative.

Forbidden City, elder brother's place.

"Khan Ama has already been to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, should he be back soon?" During the lunch break, the fifth elder brother asked Shi Yangui with his hands on his cheeks.

"I don't know too well, but Long Live Lord's move is really shocking." Shi Yangui said with emotion.

On November [-]th, Lord Long Live arrived at the Confucius Temple in Qufu, kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times in the Dacheng Hall, and personally wrote the "Teacher of All Ages", exempting Qufu County from land money and grain for next year.

The Han officials in the court were all very excited about the move of Long Live Lord.Shi Yangui didn't know what words to use to describe his inner touch when he heard this incident.It's like a group of hungry travelers in the desert saw a long-dreamed clear spring, a light that lit up in the distance in the long night, and people couldn't help chasing it.

"Is Yangui very excited to hear this?" Fifth Prince asked.

Shi Yangui nodded: "Yes. I feel a lot lighter on my shoulders. Long Live Lord is really a wise monarch."

The fifth elder brother can clearly see the admiration and loyalty in Shi Yangui's eyes, which is for Khan Ama.Khan Ama bowed three times and kowtowed nine times in the Confucian Temple, personally lifted the saint on the altar, and took the opportunity to sit on the altar himself, which is really amazing.

The fifth elder brother has memories from later generations.He clearly knew that that person was his blood father and his de facto master, the ruler of the entire country.The fifth elder brother distinguishes the two very clearly. He needs to be a son at the right time and a courtier at the right time.

Minister, slave, this is a word with the same meaning as concubine, maidservant, and slave.It's just that in the long history, the master of the minister artificially raised the height of the word in order to better gain the loyalty and trust of the minister.The fifth elder brother didn't want to know how much political showmanship was involved in this matter, but the benefits that the Hanchens got were real.Yangui's family is a family of generals, he is so excited, let alone those civil servants?

"Fifth elder brother, what's the matter with you?" Seeing fifth elder brother's sullen expression, Shi Yangui was a little worried.

"It's nothing, but I just remembered something." The fifth elder brother smiled.

"You don't seem to be very happy these days. Is there something on your mind?" Elder Brother seems to have been preoccupied since he came back from the palace. Is it because of Xiaoru?

"It's nothing, but Erniang found out she was pregnant the day before yesterday, and I heard that her pregnancy is not looking good, so I'm just a little worried." The fifth elder brother smiled wryly.

Shi Yangui couldn't intervene in the affairs of the inner court, so he had no choice but to comfort the fifth elder brother: "Niangniang Jiren has her own aura, so nothing will happen. What's more, isn't there still you and ninth elder brother?"

"You're right." He just had a bad feeling about Xiao Liu and the unborn child. According to his memory from later generations, these two children seemed to have died young.He's not strong enough, he can't change anything now.

"By the way, I heard that Nalan's bodyguard asked Wansui to resign and went to Jiangnan. I didn't expect the always calm Nalan's bodyguard to do such a thing. Master Mingzhu was very angry, and threatened to fight Nalan's bodyguard when he came back. Broke his leg." Shi Yangui tried his best to ease the mood of the fifth elder brother.

"What?" Brother Fifth couldn't help shouting.

Shi Yangui smiled: "Fifth elder brother was surprised? Yes, the matter of Nalan's guards is indeed a bit deviant."

"No, I mean, didn't he die of illness—well, was he very sick?" In April this year, Nalan Rongruo—a generation of talents in history—didn't he die suddenly?

"Brother, you've heard about it too? In April this year, Nalan's bodyguard was indeed very ill. But he will recover in May. This year, Long Live's southern tour, Nalan's bodyguard specially invited Zhi followed, and stayed in the south and never came back. It's really - really willful!" Shi Yangui sighed, really enviable.

"It's something that a person with a good temperament would do. It's good that he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and he could write a few more popular poems for the world to sing." It's so good, it turns out that he, a little butterfly who broke in by accident, can really Fan the tornado.

Shi Yangui looked at the fifth elder brother, he was indeed a child, and he would be so happy to hear that the worshipers were freed.
