starling is not a bird

Chapter 299 Hugh asks Liang Yuan's old guests

In the village of Dezhou where the imperial driver stopped, Chen Xi, the governor of Guizhou, wrote a secret paper and reported that the Miao Zhuang chieftain in the south was very friendly in face, but whether it was collecting taxes, conscription or assigning errands, everything was delayed and prevaricated, and secretly It is really suspicious to train private soldiers and secretly hoard a large number of weapons.

Emperor Kangxi passed the memorial to the prince and Shisan Baylor, "If you have any thoughts, just say it."

Thirteen Baylor is a cautious person. There are only myself and the prince here. It seems that I will offend him if I take the lead, and I will also cause suspicion when I come behind. I silently took the memorial and looked at it carefully. Is it reused because of the small disturbances in the local area?As long as you seize the opportunity, you can do it yourself.

The crown prince didn't have so many entanglements. The people present here were his concubine, Huang Amatong, who was not of high birth, so he didn't need to consider their thoughts at all.

: "Huang Ama, this kind of pettiness is not enough to cause trouble, let him go, the pustules will always come out to be squeezed! There are also people who don't know the etiquette and don't know the kindness. There is no need for the court to make a living first."

Thirteen Baylor was stunned, and said with a smile: "Second brother is talking about it, but although it is not a problem of raising tigers, if it can be solved as soon as possible, it will save people and money in the future, and it will also prevent others from imitating others."

The crown prince glanced at him, but did not make a sound. Kangxi looked at the crown prince with more gentle eyes: "Brother Thirteen is young and energetic after all, and it is good to be aggressive! However, the crown prince really surprised me. I think you are better than before. Be more serious, I look at you, what is there to worry about?"

Thirteen Baylor's nose almost crooked, what did the prince say?He didn't say anything, but he expressed his self-aggrandizement. Who doesn't know that the last turmoil in various places was not suppressed by the imperial court?Otherwise, Huang Ama, why have you made several expeditions to the West?Why am I so young and impulsive?

Kangxi ignored Shisan Baylor, and said directly to the prince, "Well, come and draw up a decree for me to see, and send it to Guizhou."

The crown prince walked up with a slight smile, took the brush from Kangxi's hand, raised his head again and said, "Please come up and polish the ink for Gu!"

Thirteen Baylor walked over briskly, rolled up his sleeves, rubbed them slowly, kept his body slightly arched, and rubbed the ink respectfully. Kangxi looked at him with his hands behind his back, very happy.

Kangxi watched the prince's writing carefully and said with satisfaction: "Don't cause trouble, that's good, and the prince's handwriting will become more imposing, hard work, good!"

Thirteen Baylor squinted at the prince's handwriting, thinking in his heart that he could write in the prince's handwriting long ago, but Huang Ama didn't care much about his youngest son, so he ignored it.

Seeing Kangxi and the prince looking at each other as if no one else was around, Thirteen Baylor felt nothing in his heart. Didn't he get used to Huang Ama's eccentricity?

The prince ticked it off with the last stroke, looked at Kangxi and said, "Huang Ama, are you going to get a seal?"

Kangxi nodded, took out the jade seal, and the crown prince gave him the ink pad, and carefully dried the ink marks on the imperial decree. When the vermilion seal was stamped, the decree would be fulfilled.

Thirteen Baylor's heart moved, he stopped rubbing the ink in his hands, and said with a smile: "Second brother is really good, he is considerate in his work, my brother admires it."

The prince taught his younger brother with his elder brother's airs: "You are young, it's normal to have unexpected things. As time goes on, it will be fine if you have experienced a lot. Gu was also impulsive back then, and he was also taught by Huang Ama! I made a mistake and started over again. That's fine, I'm afraid you won't learn, just think that you are right in everything, and it's not good to be stubborn!"

Then he looked at Kangxi: "Huang Ama, is your son right?"

Kangxi laughed: "Isn't that the reason? You made me worry a lot back then!"

In fact, everyone present was thinking of someone, someone who was impulsive and stubborn. Why was he so bad?In front of the imperial power, his head was bleeding, no one saw him bleeding, how good he is, no one wants to mention him now, it's really sad, isn't it?

On the second day, Kangxi inspected the river course. The project was very arduous. Moreover, after looking at the drawings, he found that the new river was completely unable to discharge floods, and it was just a false story by local officials.So Kangxi summoned the ministers and told Ma Qi and others: "Everything in the world is beneficial, you should do it quickly; if it is not beneficial, you must not do it lightly."It's as if a person is sick, and then medicine bait can be used for acupuncture. If there is no disease, some people say that cutting the flesh can prolong life, but you can't listen to it.The same is true for the principle of opening a river.

The local officials were summoned on the spot, rejected the plan proposed by Ashan and others, ordered to stop building new rivers, instead dredged the mouths of Hongze Lake to facilitate water release, and dredged the old rivers around Jiangjiaba and Tianranba to pass grain ships.Kangxi also criticized the original plan proposed by Ah Shan and others: Liuhuai Taokaihe plan!What are the benefits of destroying people's fields and houses and destroying people's graves?Ordered to remove all the river-opening poles along the way, along the way Kangxi kept meeting with officials, investigating political achievements, demotions, dismissals, promotions, and rewards. Beijing received a lot of news.A steady stream of news leaked from Beijing again, and the legs of the horses at the post station were much thinner.

Wang Hongxu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, accepted Kangxi's secret report and asked him to investigate carefully who was cheating to buy beautiful women in Suzhou under the guise of paying tribute. To mobilize one's protégés with official status, one must alert the Ministry of Punishment. It is not easy to alert them to such trivial matters.

Wang Hongxu, who was carrying a booklet in his sleeve, met Yan Yuan, a bachelor's attendant. Because of his age, Kangxi never took him with him when he went on tour, but he handed out all the memorials.

Wang Hongxu rushed up: "Scholar Yan, please stop."

Yan Yuan turned around slowly: "So it's Mr. Wang, what advice can I give?"

: "Scholar Yan, I remember that when you went to Beijing, several academy students also came in, and now they are still unemployed in Beijing. I wonder if you have any arrangements?"

Yan Yuan thought about it carefully: "I don't know what kind of errand Master Shang Shu entrusted to them, so I can arrange suitable people for you. It is a good thing to learn from you, and I dare not delay your work."

Wang Hongxu laughed: "However, some paperwork and occasional errands will definitely be returned to the bachelor before the spring competition."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice: "You have also seen the order sent back by the emperor. Although the matter is not serious, it is the master's confession after all. It is not good to alert the Ministry of punishment. It is not good to be too public. I don't know how the master plans to deal with it, right?"

Yan Yuan smiled slightly: "My lord is right, why don't you choose a few people who are strict and reliable in their work, and let your lord drive them?"

Wang Hongxu's move was not too big, but he couldn't stand it anymore. There were already people waiting there, and a steady stream of clues came out, and it was cleared up after a while, pointing directly to the East Palace and the House of Internal Affairs.

Should the secret letter of return be sent or not? If it is sent, how should it be written? If not sent, how should it be answered?Wang Hongxu was deeply worried.

It was the time when the glaciers were thawing, and it was still very cold in the capital. Fourteen Baylor was wrapped in a ball of fur and led people to patrol the Forbidden City.

A few servants greeted him with smiles, "Master Baylor is auspicious!"

Fourteen Baylor didn't know who was who, and nodded vaguely: "Which palace is it?"

: "If you go back to the master, the slave is from the concubine Hui, and the empress sent us to the south gate to get things." The leader answered first.

: "What are you taking?" Fourteen Baylor felt strange, isn't it forbidden to pass things inside and outside the palace?

: "Your Majesty has a bad appetite in winter. Those pickers in the House of Internal Affairs are used to asking for prices. They dare to ask you for a tael of silver for a little bit of pot. Your Majesty is not short of this tael, but the slaves can't watch their master being cheated." Ah! No, I made an agreement with the purchases from outside, and I will bring some in every few days, and the servants will pay you monthly!" The little servant's face was pale, and he spoke quickly, which made him feel comfortable.

Fourteen Baylor nodded, and let them pass, feeling that something was wrong, but he should not be in charge of this matter, thinking that he would hand over the sign to see De Fei after the shift was over.

Walking into the duty room, Dumbele has already arrived, leaning close, sweating on his head, Fourteen Baylor walked over: "Brother, who did you fight again? Don't wait for me!"

Dumbele wiped off his sweat: "I just arrived, do you want to play with two hands? There are knives and guns over there, and I can choose my own hand. Brother will practice with you for a while?"

Fourteen Baylor's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree, remembering that he was going to the palace to see the concubine De, and sighed: "I can't do it now, I want to go to the palace, and I will definitely wait for me tomorrow!"

Dunbeile was surprised: "Didn't you just go in before? Go again today, Huang Ama is not at home, so don't run into the palace, it's not good!"

Fourteen Baylor blinked, walked over and said softly: "The servants at Concubine Hui's place are not very quiet, I want to talk to the empress!"

Dumbele glanced at Fourteen Baylor, threw the spear in his hand to the guards at the side, covered the big bag on the chair, and said to his brother, "Come in and talk to me."

Entering the inner room, Dunbaile stared at Fourteen Baylor and said: "What exactly did you see, tell me clearly, don't be surprised when something happens, Huang Ama is not in Beijing, don't make trouble for the palace, girls are all Woman, it's not good to be frightened by bluffing."

Fourteen Baylor didn't think too much about it, he said everything, Dun Baylor asked seriously for a long time, and then said: "It turned out to be this, to tell you the truth, the people of Concubine Hui are passing in and out like this. What's new!"

Fourteen Baylor raised his eyebrows, and Dun Baylor said flatly: "The emperor also knows that Concubine Hui secretly uses her body to supplement elder brother, and sends some things in from time to time, so don't worry about it."

He stretched out his hand and snorted his younger brother's head: "Poor parents in the world, Huang Ama also loves her elder brother! You are also going to be Ama's person now, how can this not be understood?"

Fourteen Baylor was also slightly sad in his heart: "So that's the case, brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Dunbeile sighed: "This is such a big deal, it's worth mentioning, you go and tell Empress Defei whether she cares or doesn't care? It's hurtful to care, and it's not good to ignore it, just turn a blind eye and close it .”

: "Let's go, let's go practice, brothers?" Dumbele smiled and invited his younger brother, Fourteen Baylor smiled: "I can't let you go today!"
