starling is not a bird

Chapter 171 Peach Blossom 1

As far as the emperor is concerned, Li Xu and Cao Yin are both his confidantes. The two of them are in charge of weaving, and they do their best every year. , So weaving the post of Tongyan government let two people take turns to take charge, so that such a loyal minister can supplement himself, it is nothing more than not clearly stated.

But this time when I went to the south of the Yangtze River, both Cao and Li's families took care of me wholeheartedly. When Kangxi saw his nanny, he felt more at ease. I am indeed a blessed person!

Since it was under the banner of the Southern Tour, Kangxi did not bring the court ladies out, and it was a bit difficult after a long time. At this time, the maid from the south of the Yangtze River that Li Xu sent over was very considerate of the holy will.

Kangxi accepted the beauties of the Li family with a smile, thinking that he still had his sons by his side, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. The sons are all grown up, and it must be uncomfortable to be with him for so long.But even Kangxi couldn't do pimping his son if he had nothing to do. How could this be what a good father should do?

After a long time of embarrassment, Liang Jiugong was clever and muttered a few words with a smile, and Erlundai, the emperor's cousin, was pushed into the fire pit again.

Orondai, who has never been considerate of the holy will, bumped into the emperor's heart this time. He silently collected a batch of lean Yangzhou horses. Under the banner of enjoying himself, he occupied a boat alone, and gave some to his nephews from time to time. Serving closely, Orondai's reputation for shamelessness can be regarded as solid.

How could the eighth elder brother not understand the meaning of the emperor, but he is also a man of several decades in two generations, and he is ashamed to attack some delicate teenage girls as if he were his own daughter?Hastily retreated back, and moved the two little brothers to his own boat, saying it was to share Huang Ama's worries.

Thinking that the two little elder brothers are still young, and the one who gave the beauties did not dare to mess around, the eighth elder brother was temporarily relieved, and when he was ridiculed by the elder brother, he just picked up his legs and left without giving the elder brother Opportunity to speak.

The words reached Kangxi's ears, and he laughed sullenly for a long time. This son is not greedy for women. He could see it back then. Since he married Fujin, he didn't have many people around him. I'm not less anxious, after such a long marriage, except Gege is still Gege, Kangxi thinks that his son's body is not very good, so he doesn't send others to him very much, but it's not too good to be so pure-hearted and ascetic.

After pondering for a long time, Kangxi remembered that Li Xu also seemed to have a concubine daughter of a suitable age. After thinking about it, he asked Liang Jiugong to pass on the message, asking Li Xu to give the child to the eighth elder brother as a housekeeper, so that he will have a better life after returning to Beijing. It's set up.

So the fourteenth elder brother who had just slept with his elder brother for a few nights was sadly reminded. He finally won the right to sleep with his elder brother in the same bed at night by playing games with the thirteenth elder brother, and was carried back to him by Kangxi, holding him tightly. Fist, staring at Li Xu who rushed over to see off his daughter, my heart was full of imbalance, I haven't finished the story Myna told last night!Why do you put your daughter in there!

When Kangxi finally figured out why his old son was so angry that he didn't want to eat, he laughed for almost a quarter of an hour. Brother Fourteen blushed from his father's laughter, but he was still muttering: " The story of the mynah is really good! It’s much more interesting than the one told by the grandma!"

Kangxi wiped away the tears from his laughter: "What story did your starling tell you? Tell Huang Ama, Huang Ama also wants to hear the story!"

The fourteenth elder brother got excited, leaned down on the table, and vividly told the story of Sun Xingzhe's three beatings of bone spirits. Kangxi is also well-read on weekdays, but he never read such gossip, but listen to it. The son also listened with great interest, and kept asking: "What happened later? What happened later?"

The fourteenth elder brother said with a flat mouth: "The starling hasn't told me the story yet!"

Kangxi laughed loudly: "Okay, I will let your starling come over and tell you a story later, and he is not allowed to go back to sleep until the story is finished!"

The fourteenth elder brother nodded violently, his big eyes flickering, and Kangxi asked someone to call the eighth elder brother. The eighth elder brother had just finished eating and was going to the eldest elder brother. How much money the family takes, don't arouse Huang Ama's suspicion, it's not beautiful.

Not knowing what Kangxi Biography meant, Eighth Brother followed the servant nervously, and the little servant had a smile on his face: "His Highness, don't be busy, it's just a small matter, your body is important."

The eighth elder brother naturally understood what he meant, it was a reassurance for himself!Nodding to the little servant: "Understood, thank you, Eunuch."

The little servant hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Highness the Eighth Highness, you are being polite. This is the duty of a villain. How can I deserve your praise?"

The eighth elder brother smiled: "You serve Huang Ama day and night, and you are also doing your filial piety as sons for us. Naturally, I have to thank you very much!"

It was time to talk, someone had already opened the door of the cabin and waited for Brother Ba. He lifted up the hem of his clothes and went in, and kowtowed to Kangxi. Brother was taken aback.

After the cunning and insidious Mrs. Bone Demon was finally beaten to death by Sun Wukong, the father and son put their straight backs on the back of the chair to rest for a while, and the fourteenth elder brother said incessantly, "Brother, what happened next?"

The eighth elder brother was already talking dry, so he picked up his teacup and took a long sip before saying: "Later? Come back tomorrow!"

The fourteenth elder brother's eyes were full of disappointment, the eighth elder brother tried his best to suppress the thought of pulling him into his arms and snoring his head, and Huang Ama was sitting on it!It's not my turn to be a warm brother!

The fourteenth elder brother was coaxed by the servants to go to the inner cabin to eat snacks. Kangxi looked at his son with a smile and said, "Why would you think of telling my brother these wild stories?"

The eighth elder brother quickly collected his thoughts, and said solemnly: "Although it is a wild book, there are some subtle words and righteousness. It's not all nonsense. Otherwise, how dare you tell my brother?"

Kangxi let out an oh, and continued to look at the eighth elder brother, waiting for him to analyze the meaning of the small words. When the eighth elder brother was telling the story, he only thought of the story. What stories can be used to deal with Kangxi?

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on: "The son thought, my brother is still young, if he talks about state affairs all day long, he will not like to listen to it, and he will be bored. Although this wild story is absurd, there is not a word in it if you carefully read it. It didn't come from the world situation, it sounded ridiculous at first, but after thinking about it, it makes sense. I'm afraid my brother will listen better."

Kangxi twirled his beard and nodded: "It's hard for you to think thoroughly. The sage's teaching and enlightenment is the way to take the spring breeze and rain to moisten things silently. You can learn by yourself without a teacher, but you have some understanding."

The father and son chatted for a while, and Kangxi paid more attention to this son, and asked him his opinion on some unimportant political affairs on the sidelines, and didn't make many comments, but just judged in his heart.The more in-depth the talk, the more I feel that this son has extraordinary ambition, and the more I like him.

: "The girl from the Li family was taught by her grandmother, it must be good. I gave it to you and I hope you will make progress. I know that you are not a womanizer, but how do children know what it means to be a parent?" , Seeing you get married, set up a business, spread branches and leaves, I can let go of my heart. Your brothers all have sons, and you are the only one who is weak at the knees. Think about it carefully, is this the filial piety of a son of man? I also know Your body is not very good, but the way of human relations is still common, you must not overcorrect, or you will make a mistake!"

The eighth elder brother was convinced after hearing this lesson, he stood up and listened, and agreed to each of them, and Kangxi let him go back with satisfaction.

: "After dinner tomorrow, come over and tell your brother a story, and let me listen to it." Kangxi's order was very serious, and the eighth elder brother didn't even dare to laugh.

The next day, the eighth elder brother came early to tell his father and younger brother a story. The story he told today was No.20 Six Difficulties: The Savior of the Black Chicken Country. After hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother couldn't help asking: "So the Bodhisattva is so vicious?"

The eighth elder brother smiled and said, "It's just a story, how can it be true? Even the Bodhisattva is wrong, but it's just a story made up by those who exterminate Taoism and worship Buddha to promote Buddhism."

Brother Fourteen let out a breath and patted his chest: "I was scared to death. Before I went out, I even threw a grasshopper on the Goddess of Mercy offered by my mother. Wouldn't it be bad luck if I got into trouble?"

The eighth elder brother laughed loudly, and took his younger brother into his arms: "Such a fierce Bodhisattva, who is going to worship her?"

Kangxi next to him also nodded: "That's right, if you are an official, if you don't care about the people's will, you will not cooperate with the people below, and you will be perfunctory in everything. As a ruler, you must be sympathetic to the embarrassment of your subjects. The word benevolence is easy to write but difficult to do!"

On the second day, Kangxi issued a decree: Due to the southern tour, local officials in Shandong and Jiangnan were very hardworking in preparing ships and recording merits to show the Ministry of Officials. Salaries, demotions, and dismissals will all be waived; this will also be repeated for Zhejiang officials in the future.

In the evening, the eighth elder brother came over and told the story of 43 difficult marriages in Xiliang. Kangxi followed the youngest son to listen to the story told by the elder son every day. When the younger son fell asleep, he discussed a few words with the elder son. Very moisturizing.

Not long after, Kangxi issued another decree to the governors of Jiangnan and Zhejiang, affirming the discipline of the tour this time. The people are not allowed to trample on the wheat seedlings because they are competing to watch the emperor.

The elder brothers who are older are all better than the eighth elder brother, but no one can't stand it. Even the third elder brother didn't say any harsh words, and the days passed by like this.

In May, Emperor Kangxi finally returned to the capital. During his southern tour, Emperor Kangxi finally saw some people's sentiments. It turned out that the memorials of Haiyan Heqing were fake, and the people's livelihood was not as good as before, and life was miserable.

The reason is that the local officials privately sent a large sum of money, or used the excuse of extortion to feed their superiors, or implicated many people in minor easy-to-conclude cases, deliberately delayed time, and extorted property, but the governors of various places were aware of these situations and did not participate in the impeachment. Instead of recommending officials who bribed, all of them formed a party for their own interests, and none of them sincerely served the country, the king and the people!

Only a few days after returning to Beijing, Emperor Kangxi issued an edict to the academician Jiuqing and others to discuss the laws of Yongge Hengpai, strict prohibition of bribery, and inspection of officials and peace of the people.It was decided that in the future, all governors should correct themselves and lead their subordinates, investigate and participate in officials who corrupted and harmed the people, and try their best to correct the long-standing abuses.

Under the wrath of Kangxi's thunder, the threshold of Yuqing Palace was almost broken, and the palace of Prince Zhijun was also full of guests. For a while, a steady stream of silver entered the capital!
