starling is not a bird

The eighth elder brother watched Yin Huaxing step by step from a young age to the position of a governor. It is really distressing that a slave from the Han army flag can make such progress, and I can't bear to see him being implicated even more.

But after thinking about it, there is no way to achieve the best of both worlds, and because Shi Lin couldn't guarantee that one would be lost, so I had to ask Brother Jiu to let his caravan go to Guangdong and Guangxi a few more times. He sent people over again, saying that it was a familiar official who brought a gift to his former boss.

He deliberately brought Yin Chun, the son of Yin Huaxing, with him, and followed him to the court every day. On this day, Kangxi was pulling the Manchu and Han ministers to discuss how to start construction on both sides of the Yellow River. Li Guangdi also rushed back from other places to report his duties. Li Guangdi is a courtier who keeps his head down and doesn't like to talk nonsense.

Li Guangdi also knew that he had made many enemies in the court, and he could only keep his status by doing errands with sincerity. However, after a few months of not seeing him, he became dark and thin again. When you mention it and praise it, only Nuonuo is the next one.

How could Li Guangdi dare to take the credit alone? He mentioned all the local officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to thank him. The son became more and more happy, and rewarded Li Guangdi with various supplements, and promised him a good review at the end of the year before giving up.

The eighth elder brother said to Yin Chun as soon as he came to the court: "Look, the emperor Ama who is doing business honestly will definitely remember that your father has done a good job in Guangdong and Guangxi, but I don't know if there is any evidence? Master also Fortunately, we should mention him more in front of Huang Ama."

Yin Chun hurriedly knelt down and thanked the eighth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother smiled and pulled him up: "Don't be impatient, after a while, the master will send you to see your father, and ask him by the way, how is he doing with your marriage?" If you have an idea, if you don’t, I will make it for you.”

Yin Chun blushed and kowtowed: "But it's up to the master."

The eighth brother laughed, knowing that young people are thin-skinned, so he stopped talking and changed the subject again: "I have been thinking about you going out for a few days, so I always take you with me, and you should pay more attention to it. What should I take care of?" I remember to take care of you, and you also took care of your father's affairs. It is said that there are people in the court who are easy to be officials. Is it true that I really lack a guard when I leave you in the capital? Boy, be smart. .”

Only then did Yin Chun suddenly realize, and he deeply regretted that he had never thought about this, wasting time in vain, wandering around the capital these days, fortunately the eighth elder brother reminded, Yin Chun kowtowed more sincerely.

Although Emperor Kangxi slept on the bed of agarwood that prolongs his life, he would not stop coming if things went wrong. Early in the morning, a group of people from Xianyang, Shaanxi came to kowtow. Dare to conceal it and report it directly to Kangxi.

Kangxi read the tattered and blackened blood book, and his hands were shaking. It turned out that the poor harvest in Sichuan and Shaanxi in recent years was not caused by natural disasters, but man-made disasters.

Buka, the former governor of Shaanxi, actually embezzled all the disaster relief money issued by the court, and even sold the seeds at a high price for money.

The people were placed in a post station outside the city. Kangxi asked people to find the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials together with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Even the crown prince who had already returned to the palace was called back. Discuss the case together.

The crown prince was naturally well-informed, and he already had a finalized article in his belly. Sure enough, the emperor was furious and ordered Buka to be summoned to the palace to face the saint.

Who knew that as soon as Buka entered the palace, he threw out an impeachment memorial: "Master, the lesson is clear, the slave is also being persecuted!"

Kangxi took Buka's memorial for a closer look, and it was reported to Buka's old boss, Wu He, Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi!

: "The slave is in charge of Shaanxi, but the Governor-General said that the disaster in Sichuan is more severe, and he asked the slave to move 10 taels to Sichuan for disaster relief. The slave dare not disobey the order. All the account books are there one by one. Please check it out, master!"

After speaking, Buka took out the account book from his arms and handed it in. Kangxi couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a moment, looked at the officials and said, "What do you think?"

All of you here don't know the beginning and end of this matter, how can you dare to answer?Mingzhu thought for a while, then stepped forward and said: "As for the master, this kind of corruption case involves a lot of people, and the people's grievances are very great. Not punishing them severely is not enough to appease the world, and it is not enough to honor the name of the master. It is a great disappointment to exploit the people through private pockets. Thanks to the mighty grace of the master, these officials cannot be allowed to damage the name of the master, but this is a big matter, and prudent people should be careful to judge it, and the ministers are all subject to the holy order."

There was a thin layer of sweat on the back of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. This Buka was a Manchu minister hand-picked by Kangxi. It's a shame, if he's telling the truth, it's okay, but if he's telling lies, the emperor will probably be even more furious, listen to Mingzhu's words, there's not even a single useful word, and you'll be dishonored!I just hate that my parents didn't give me more mouths.

Fu Tala, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, knew that she could not escape, and Mingzhu kept looking at her, and hurriedly came out to ask for the presiding judge of the case, and must return justice to the people of Shaanxi.

Kangxi nodded, and the anger in his heart finally calmed down. After thinking about it, he felt that a chief trial would inevitably be unfair, and Wu He also had cronies, so he asked Zhang Penghe, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, to go to Shaanxi for an investigation. Wu He was dismissed on the spot and interrogation began.

Buka was also temporarily dismissed by the emperor, and when everyone went down, the emperor lowered his head, as if he had aged several years, and pulled the crown prince and said, "Why don't you live a day with peace of mind!"

The crown prince gently persuaded: "Huang Ama is the son of Shengtian, so naturally there is a risk of seeking perfection. The world is peaceful now, but it is the way of heaven that there are occasional clowns. Huang Ama doesn't have to worry about it."

Kangxi sighed: "It's good to be like what you said. Since ancient times, emperors have relied on ministers to recommend virtuous people. However, ministers are either short-sighted or nepotism, and it is inevitable that there will be doubts. Even true virtuous people start with being virtuous and then virtuous. People who have lost their hearts again. It seems that from now on, I will only look at the integrity of the officials as the main basis, and then decide whether to promote or dismiss, and the power of selecting officials can no longer be handed over to those people."

The crown prince took a cup of tea from the servant, and passed it to Kangxi after cooling it himself. Kangxi looked at his favorite son kindly, and took a sip of tea: "The prince should also pay attention to it. If you have any capable ministers, you might as well recommend them. In case it is not enough in the future.”

The crown prince agreed softly, and the father and son said a lot of confidantes before they finished.

Bad news has always spread like a hot wheel. The eldest brother laughed at home for a long time before remembering to pick up a pen and write back Mingzhu's letter: everything is as good as uncle's wishes.

It was night time when Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice set off, and he didn't even have time to send off his family. Fortunately, all the family members around him had to use them, and they were able and clever, which made him worry about everything.

After dinner, the eighth elder brother who was planning to go out for a walk was invited to the Zhijun Prince's Mansion. The eldest elder brother was full of red, and there were several banquets. If you look carefully, there are some unfamiliar faces on the seats.

The eighth elder brother sat next to the eldest elder brother. As soon as he sat down, the eldest elder brother handed over a glass of wine. The eighth elder brother did not refuse. He raised his glasses to those seated, all of them were in charge of the flag affairs, or joined the army. These people are not comparable to the civil servants of the imperial court, and they pay more attention to their affection.

Seeing the eighth elder brother toast, all the people in the seat felt that their faces were even brighter, and they all drank the wine bowls and became more noisy. The eighth elder brother sat down and looked at the eldest elder brother: "Brother, why are you so happy?"

The eldest elder brother took a spoonful of ginkgo and ate it, and put a piece of wine steamed duck in the eighth elder brother's bowl before saying, "Fu Tala went to Shaanxi."

The eighth elder brother was taken aback. In his last life, he only knew that Wu He collapsed later, implicated many officials, and even the power of the crown prince was wiped out a lot. The eldest elder brother took the opportunity to send a lot of his own people to the place, but I don't know that Fu Tala got the elder brother's instruction, and I can't help but sigh with emotion. It turns out that the elder brother was indeed guarding against himself!

The eighth prince was about to say something when a loud report came from outside: Master Mingzhu is here.

The elder brother lost his chopsticks and stood up, and the eighth elder brother also stood up to welcome Mingzhu, who came with her two sons, and apologized all the way: "It's late, I'm late, master forgive me!"

Eldest brother held Mingzhu's hand and asked him to sit on the other side of him. Seeing that it was not the right time, eighth elder brother shut up and didn't say anything. It's time to greet him.

: "Tell you, Cai Yurong is dying soon."

The eighth elder brother thumped in his heart. He actually forgot about this matter. Damn it, the eldest elder brother whispered in his ear: "The governor of Yunnan is leaving, and it will be great when uncle recommends another one of us to go up!"

The eighth elder brother went over and said, "Brother, don't panic, Yunnan is not a good location."

As soon as the elder brother heard it, he knew that the eighth elder brother must have another secret, so he stretched out his hand to his waist and said, "Little slick, hurry up and say it, don't whet your appetite."

The eighth elder brother was itching so badly, he twisted left and right to hide: "Big brother, haha, big brother, hahaha, stop quickly."

The elder brother only let go after rubbing enough: "I told you that you like to play tricks, why don't you say it quickly?"

The eighth elder brother pursed his lips and said, "General Sun in Hexi is dying too."

The elder brother was taken aback for a moment: "General Sun? Sun Siyuan?"

Did you watch Big Brother's eyes grow bigger and start to shine, and then he began to grumble, "Brother, you said that I treat you best from time to time in this world?"

The elder brother picked up the glass and drank the wine in one gulp, and asked someone to drink a few more glasses before calming down: "Are you sure?"

Brother Ba rolled his eyes and said, "Brother doesn't believe it."

The elder brother smiled proudly: "How could I not trust my good brother? Come, drink and drink."

The eighth elder brother refused to toast, but just chewed with a piece of deer tendon, the eldest elder brother didn't care, and drank the wine himself.Thinking about the benefits of the Hexi area alone.

The eighth elder brother didn't bother the eldest elder brother, he ate happily by himself, and even invited Mingzhu to eat with him. Mingzhu was always polite to the eighth elder brother, and the two of them came and went a lot of hypocrisy.

Mingzhu looked at the sons below who were already drunk, and secretly sighed in her heart, if her morality was not dead, why would she need to worry so much?The younger sons are silly, Cheng Huan is cute, but there is no one in the family to support the family, Mingzhu is also very depressed.

: "The slave can be regarded as watching His Highness the Eighth Highness grow up, and begging His Highness to take care of the dog with a shy face." Mingzhu said politely.

The eighth elder brother smiled: "Kui Xu and Kui Fang are all good men, you are too modest."

Mingzhu shook her head: "His Highness praises them a lot, but they are more than loyal and lacking in ability. The slaves only hope that they will do their jobs properly."

The eighth elder brother personally held the pot and poured a glass of wine for Mingzhu, and saw that the elder brother beside him was still in a daze: "You are worrying too much, but you should give your sons some chances, the imperial ama court is very empty now, if They are capable, and they will naturally be supported by others, so why worry about some things, it’s too late.”

The smile on Mingzhu's face didn't fade at all, she raised her glass and drank the remaining wine and poured herself another glass. The aroma of the wine filled her mouth, she swallowed anxiously, felt a little sad in her stomach, and hurriedly scooped up half a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.

The eighth elder brother ignored him, and the eldest elder brother came back to his senses at this moment, and walked down to the table below to toast table by table, his face was full of spirits.

When Yin Chun was about to leave, Eight Princes specially pulled him to his side and asked him to tell Yin Huaxing not to worry about doing the job honestly, and asked Yin Chun to bring more earth and objects, saying that the water and soil were different over there. Things should only be returned to their hometown.I also told you not to waste money, I don’t lack anything, even pear agarwood is hard to come by, it’s not beautiful not to waste people’s money.

Yin Chun firmly remembered the instructions of the eighth elder brother. In the past few days, he has been very careful. He has become more cautious when going in and out with the eighth elder brother. He is even more cautious when meeting some high-ranking officials. , regardless of the written notes of various departments or the guards in the same class, he never talked much, he listened carefully to what others said, picked up useful ones and wrote them down, and thought about them carefully when he fell asleep at night.

The eighth elder brother is naturally very happy to see that he is so teachable. It is rare to meet a subordinate who is easy to use and obedient, so naturally he must train it well.Now he only hopes that Yin Huaxing can find out the problem early and solve all the hidden dangers, and don't wait until Huang Ama finds out that he will cover up and cover up the smell and hurt Yin Huaxing's face.

As expected, Sun Siyuan was dying, and the sick note was handed over, which made Kangxi feel very uncomfortable. The four Hexi generals left by the late emperor were all brave and capable of fighting, and they were not afraid of hardship. They did a lot of meritorious service in guarding the frontier, but The older generation of generals left one by one, only Sun Siyuan remained. Last year he followed him to fight in the Northwest, but this year he was sick. Kangxi really felt that time is not forgiving.

I still remember that year, when General Wang came to Beijing, he got drunk and lost his temper at the banquet, and was laughed at because he didn’t know how to behave.In the future, when the enemy soldiers come to the city, please write a chapter of poems each.Destroy the prestige of those people and strengthen the aspirations of the frontier warriors.

Zhu Bi approved Sun Siyuan's booklet, think about how many sons General Sun has, and send one to Beijing to extend his favor?I began to worry about who the Northwest would send over now?
