[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Yinreng pricked up his ears to listen to Kangxi and Yao Qisheng talking, the emperor saw Yao Qisheng's gray temples, and felt a lot of emotion.

Back then, Yao Qisheng was a young man who was "chivalrous and righteous", and he was still a young emperor who had just succeeded to the throne. Now, the sharp young man has frosted temples and a hunched back, but the young emperor has grown into a sharp-edged lion .

Years will ruthlessly urge people to grow old, and they will also carve a person to maturity in the process of tempering.

Kangxi sighed softly: "Xizhi has given me quite a problem this time."

Yao Qisheng's handwriting is Xizhi, and he was affectionately called Zi by the emperor, and the time suddenly turned back to the time when their monarchs and ministers got along well.

Yao Qisheng was slightly taken aback, his eyes were red: "I am guilty."

Yin Reng tilted his head, confused.

Isn't he a great contributor to the peace of Taiwan?How did he become guilty again?

"More than [-] taels of money," Kangxi shook his head: "If the Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't approve it, you can embezzle it yourself. What you do depends on where the law of the country lies."

Yao Qisheng knelt down to worship the emperor, firm and unrepentant: "Time does not wait for people, and military opportunities must not be lost. The general is away, and the emperor's orders are not granted. In order to win, the minister has no choice but to do it. This time when I return to Beijing, I want to apologize to the emperor face to face. , Your wealth and life are tied to the emperor. The emperor will give you justice."

"Fairness? The law of the country is more important than justice. If you present this problem to me, you are sure that I will not kill you?!"

Kangxi laughed angrily, staring at Yao Qisheng's rebellious old face, his blood pressure soared.

Xiaomei reported Kangxi's unstable high blood pressure to Yinreng, and praised him.

[It turns out that not only big friends will raise Dad's blood pressure with anger, but also ministers who have the guts to raise the Emperor's blood pressure with anger! 】Yao Qisheng still said: "I know that I have committed a crime, but I don't regret it."

It is this unruly and stinky temper, the Geng Niu temper that Kangxi loved and hated since he was young, and Kangxi's temper became angry.

The crown prince was angry with him, but Kangxi could beat his little butt and give his son a fatherly greeting, but Yao Qisheng was angry with him, so he couldn't beat Yao Qisheng.

The old official was old and suffering from illness, and he might die after tossing and tossing. How could Kangxi attack the hero at this juncture?

When Yao Qisheng returned to the capital this time, not only did he not get the expected reward, in fact, Kangxi had no intention of calling him back at all at the very beginning.

In addition to the fact that the credit is too high and there is no reward, Yao Qisheng also memorized nearly [-] taels of "money".

Money is not just gold, it is gold in the treasury!

This large sum of money was used by him to build ships and renovate ordnance. This is the unauthorized use of treasury wealth by the minister. This time when he returned to the capital, the two ministers of the household department were excited. The first thing they did was to play Yao Qisheng and ask him to pay back the money !

The Emperor Nian made great contributions to Yao Qisheng, and spent all his wealth on the war. Now that the victory has been won by him, it is unreasonable not to reward him, but Kangxi feels unwilling to punish him.

This kind of minister's unauthorized evacuation of the treasury is unjustifiable from both legal and moral aspects.If one has to be punished, one must be severely punished, so as to serve as an example to others, otherwise anyone can embezzle the national treasury in the future. Wouldn't the status of the national law become a joke?

Now Yao Qisheng threw the question to the emperor, looking like he would do anything to win Kangxi's victory. Kangxi was so angry that he finally told Yao Qisheng: "It's because of your hard work that you can make up for it."

As for the Ministry of Households urging Yao Qisheng to pay back the money, and the vacancy in the national treasury, Kangxi could only fill it out of his own pocket.

It was precisely because of his anger that Kangxi ordered Yao Qisheng to go back to Fujian and become his governor of Fujian after Zheng Keshun accepted the award and settled down.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the emperor. Yao Qisheng seems not surprised by this result, but he still feels disappointed at the loss of the emperor's favor.

The nearby palace servants could hear the anger in the emperor's tone, and they booed and dared not speak. Yinfeng blinked, stretched out his neck to look at Yao Qisheng who dared to throw the problem to Khan Ama, and let Khan Ama clean up the mess himself.

Ouch, this donkey is amazing, it will in turn order Khan Ama to grind!

Yao Qisheng accepted Kangxi's arrangement disheartened. After he knelt down and worshiped the emperor, he raised his head and happened to see the little prince sitting beside the emperor, stretching his neck and staring at him intently.

That look was like seeing a duck break into the chicken coop, and Yao Qisheng was that unique duck that could fly and swim.

Kangxi frowned, looked at Yinfeng's reaction, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

The emperor coughed lightly and glanced at Yinfeng.

The little prince immediately put away his curiosity and sat upright.

After the banquet, Kangxi took Yinreng back to Yuqing Palace, and warned him as he walked: "Yao Qisheng is not an 'veteran official' who is easy to 'bully' like Sha Cheng, this man is so smart and close to a monster, you can't easily approach him. "

As he said that, Kangxi began to count Yao Qisheng's "great achievements".

During the reign of Emperor Xiandi, he had just started to be an official, and as soon as he became an official, he cut off the gentry who had offended him before.

Later, I learned some principles of being a human being, or maybe I was beaten up by reality and came to my senses, and then returned home without saying a word.

He has made meritorious deeds many times and was promoted back. As a result, relying on his position, he secretly opened the sea ban under his own rule when the sea was banned. This is the so-called "Relocation Order".

The imperial court issued an order not to allow the people to return to their hometowns, but Yao Qisheng allowed the people under his rule to return to their hometowns.

With all these things, this official is playing against the imperial court. If he hadn't really made great contributions to the emperor with his wisdom and closeness to the monster, his head would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Kangxi said: "For hundreds of years, Yao Qisheng is the only one who is a strange person in the world. A Yao Qisheng in the Qing Dynasty is as rare as Liu Bei finding Zhuge Liang."

But Zhuge Liang is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he shares the worries of the emperor in everything. When he came to Yao Qisheng, he made a lot of messes for Kangxi to clean up.

Despite his complaints, Yinfeng heard his complicated feelings for Yao Qisheng from Kangxi's words.

This man is a strange man, a rare figure that is rare in the world, and there will be no such shop after passing this village.

For this reason, Yao Qisheng made mistakes repeatedly, and Kangxi endured it.

Regarding this, Kangxi could only comment: "He is too conceited!"

Yinfeng obediently said: "However, after Taiwan recovered, Khan Ama has already planned to open the sea ban. Recently, there are many memorials for the opening of the sea ban. It can be seen that many people in the court also hope that Khan Ama can open the sea ban. The survival of the people in the coastal areas is related to the trade tariffs of the Qing Dynasty. It is appropriate to entrust this matter to Yao Qisheng, so you will let him go back and continue to be the governor of Fujian. You plan to entrust Lord Yao with important tasks. How do you say it? The words that come out are like demoting him."

Kangxi recalled his previous tone, and murmured in his heart: "Is there?"

The emperor felt guilty for a moment, and retorted: "With Yao Qisheng's wisdom, he understands my thoughts."

That's why it is said that the heart of the emperor and the needle of the sea can be guessed incorrectly.

Yinfeng thought about Yao Qisheng's lost back when he carried him away, and whispered: "He understands your thoughts, so why are you still sad?"

Kangxi:? ? ?

"Yao Qisheng will be sad? Do you think he is the same age as you?"

Kangxi sneered, they are all veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years. I don't know how long it took for my heart to become a rock. Everyone would be sad, but Yao Qisheng, a bold veteran, would not be sad.

Yinfeng snorted, and took the opportunity to say: "So Ama Khan must speak well, my son is not like Mr. Yao, what kind of 'glazed heart' is my son."

So you have to speak well, otherwise his glass heart will be broken if poked, and he might do something wrong!

Kangxi rubbed his head: "Seeing that you have performed well recently, and you have handled the Eight Banners parade well with Baoqing, I will not punish you. Don't try to encourage others to do everything in the future. Baoqing is not a fool. I’ll help you this time, but not necessarily the next time.”

Yinfeng beeped softly: "The navy of the Qing Dynasty..."

"I will send Yao Qisheng and Shi Lang to recruit the navy in Fujian."

Kangxi paused in his speech, and the light in his eyes flickered: "Not included in the Eight Banners for the time being."

If they are not included in the Eight Banners, they will directly obey the emperor's orders. The soldiers and generals in the army have no party members and in-laws, and they are only lonely ministers of the emperor. A sharp knife held in hand without scruple.

Yinreng was short of applauding the little seal Khan Ama.

[Not being included in the Eight Banners is a strengthening of the military power in the hands of the emperor. The army is independent of the old aristocratic forces of the Eight Banners. It is not affected by the hierarchy of the Eight Banners. There is no distinction between Manchu, Mongolian, and Han. The navy is active in East Asian waters.This is the concept of a country formed by unifying the outside world, and it is also a kind of national integration.Xiaomei can almost predict how the future history textbooks will write about the big friend's father's move, although his original intention is to strengthen the centralization of power. 】In the early years, Kangxi strengthened the centralization of power by adduction, inherited from the ancestors and emperors, and adopted methods such as blocking, suppressing, and containing.

In recent years, Kangxi has gradually changed this style of doing things, and instead used an open approach to strengthen centralization.

Kangxi is an emperor who likes to issue unique government orders. Compared with the previous emperor's period, his government orders are sometimes "innovative".

From the beginning of his pro-government to the present, he has adopted a lot of government orders. In recent years, from the establishment of the Ministry of Culture to the opening of the Enke in the imperial examination, to the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, they are like boiling frogs in warm water, and they have not yet caused huge reactions and opposition.

From the inside to the open, a very small change, but stepped into another fork in the road.

Not long after the conversation between Yinreng and Kangxi, news of Yao Qisheng's serious illness came from outside the capital.

Yinfeng asked Xinyu, and Xinyu replied: "The imperial doctor said that Mr. Yao is deeply depressed, and the old disease has relapsed. I am afraid that time will not be long."

"Old disease, what old disease?! Is it the root of the disease that fell on the battlefield?"

Xinyu explained: "It's malaria."

Yinfeng was shocked, and Kangxi was also shocked, and quickly sent an imperial physician to treat Yao Qisheng.

Yinfeng sighed very much, and felt extremely sorry for the loss of a golden donkey. He also complained to Kangxi: "Didn't you say that Master Yao is an adult? It turns out that he is also a glass heart!" Khan Ama's face was swollen into a meat bun!

Kangxi: "..."
