The world is majestic

Because this time it was the Empress Dowager Feng's southern tour, five days later the Kangxi Royal Boat sailed to Qingkou to welcome the Empress Dowager Renxian.Kangxi has always had a good relationship with this aunt, and has been with the queen mother since he came back, but he didn't patrol the embankment two days in advance.

It's just that Wei Zhu revealed to Yinzhen in private: "As soon as the Lord Long Live arrived at Gaojiaba, he climbed the embankment to measure the water level, and discussed with the adults for a long time, but he didn't say anything about the rest of the explanation. He just looked at the meaning of the Lord Long Live, After coming back to welcome the Empress Dowager, I have to go back again."

Yinzhen calmly took a packet and tucked it into Wei Zhu's hand, and said with a faint smile, "I'm sorry for my father-in-law, please keep these for tea."

Wei Zhu put it away with a smile on her face, but still said politely, "How dare a slave ask for a reward from Fourth Master? It's just that if you don't accept it, it will seem like a slave who doesn't know how to flatter you."

Yinzhen smirked slightly, "Eunuch, you don't have to be polite, you will need to pay more attention to him in the future."

The next day, as Wei Zhu said, Kangxi decreed to go to Gaojiaba again.When Yinhu thought of Jackie Chan, who had not done much in the past two years, but also conscientiously fulfilled his duties, and finally died in office, Yinhu also felt very embarrassed, and even wanted to meet this famous minister of river governance.

It's March now, and because we're heading south, although the wind and water are not warm outside the cabin, it's not as cold as a knife like in the north.Yinhu had just had a lunch break and was in good spirits, so he simply went on the deck.

The sun at this moment is not as dazzling as it was at noon, but the wind is not weak, blowing towards the face with some damp smell, the plain brocade cloak on Yinhu's body is blown wantonly, but it doesn't feel cold.

Just after walking a few steps forward, he saw a person coming towards him, with a tall body, sword eyebrows and star eyes, Yinhu immediately smiled and said, "I've seen elder brother, why is elder brother also interested in walking on the deck? "

Although the relationship between Yinxuan and Yinhu has not been bad in the past few years, it is by no means as warm as before, and they seldom communicate with each other.Now that we meet face to face, Yinfei still looks like a big brother.He nodded to Yinhu and said, "I used up too much lunch, so I just walked around casually. Where's the eighth brother?"

"My brother also thought that it was warm outside now, so he came out to get some air."

Hearing the words, Yin Yin nodded and said casually: "Since that's the case, why don't we walk and talk together."

Yinhu didn't expect Yinyi to be able to open his mouth to invite, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Is there any reason why my younger brother refuses to invite me when my elder brother invites you?"

The two walked forward slowly, and Yinbi slowly said: "You are too busy these days, Er Niang always talks about you, if you are free, you will take Hongwang to Er Niang's place Let's see."

When Yinhu heard him mention the word "Eniang", even though he understood that Yinyu was referring to Concubine Hui, she still couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there are indeed a lot of things these days, when we get back After leaving the palace, I must bring Hongwang to accompany Er Niang."

No matter how far Yinzhen and him are drifting away, Yinhu always respects this adoptive mother.Concubine Hui is an intelligent and virtuous woman. Although she can't say that she treats Yinhu as if she is her own, she has been well-educated.And he has always been very affectionate towards Concubine Liang, not as hot and flamboyant as others in the palace.Although Kangxi did not have much favor from the concubine Hui, he has always been quite courteous.This is because of the huge Nalan clan behind her, and because of the eldest son of the emperor Yinyi, but it must also be related to Concubine Hui herself.It can be seen that although Kangxi loved Concubine Yi who was as smart as Concubine Yi, he also liked Concubine Hui's tranquility and dignity.

After talking about Concubine Hui, the embarrassing atmosphere between the two of them has obviously eased. Although Yinxuan had quarreled with Yinhu in many things in the past two years, after all, there is still a relationship between them when they were young.What's more, these days, looking at Yinhu's daily behavior, it doesn't seem like he is just helping the prince blindly. He and the fourth child seem to be standing by and watching the situation with a cold eye.Thinking of these things, Yinhu was no longer so indifferent to Yinhu. After talking a few gossips with a smile, he asked Yinhu's opinion on the Yellow River flood.

"Brother has stumped me. Although I work in the Ministry of Industry, I only know a little about water control. I must not know as much as my brother."

When Yinbi heard this, he didn't believe it, and asked: "You went to the embankment with Li Guangdi that day, and he didn't say anything?"

Yinhu has such a clear heart, and after thinking about it, he understood Yinxuan's intention, but it was just to ask for some explanations and advice, so that he could show his face in front of Kangxi.Thinking of this, Yinhu smiled slightly and said warmly: "Master Li means to turn the flood into a water conservancy. Since the flood is caused by the turbulent water, it should be diverted and diverted to divert the river into the fields. But right now it can only be discussed on paper. A decision must be made after careful measurement and inspection.”

After hearing this, Yinyi's eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled at Yinhu and said: "So, Mr. Li is worthy of being an important minister of the court, and he really has a lot of insights. The Yellow River has been suffering from floods for many years. Since the eighth brother is working in the Ministry of Industry, this is what you should do. It's my job to learn. The eighth brother has always been loved by Huang Ama, so why don't we share more of Huang Ama's worries?"

Seeing him smiling and patting himself on the shoulder, Yinhu also smiled and said: "Brother was praised by Huang Ama as a 'thousand-mile horse'. Speaking of talent and morality, he is brave and good at fighting. , which of the brothers can be better than the eldest brother?"

Yinfei seemed to be very pleased with his praise, and his face was a bit smug, but he sighed unwillingly: "If it is said that the emperor Ama loves him so much, it must be the prince. Among the brothers No one can beat it."

Yinhu saw that there was a little bit of resentment flashing in Yinxie's eyes, but there was a strong sense of hope in his words, Yinhu couldn't help but sighed secretly, this big brother has always been ambitious, but in the end he snatched him early. He was defeated and imprisoned until death.However, when it comes to coveting the throne and dissatisfaction with Kangxi's sole favor on the crown prince, I'm afraid that in the previous life, he would not be inferior to Yinxuan at all, and even surpass him by a lot.

Yinhu looked at Yinxuan in front of him, he was only 27 years old now, his eyes were like bright stars, his spirit was flying high, and it was the time when he was in high spirits.Moreover, because of his status as the eldest son of the emperor, he went to war many times and made military exploits repeatedly.Although Mingzhu was deposed, he was also reinstated as an official after pacifying Galdan.There is nothing wrong with Yinfei coveting the throne, but thinking of his dismal end in the future...

"Huang Ama really loves the prince very much. The prince is different after all." Yinhu said to Yinfei with a light smile, her slightly narrowed eyes seemed a bit unpredictable.

"Prince..." Yinfei looked at him twice, and smiled playfully, "Look, where did this talk come from? It's so good to talk about it."

Yinhu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's right, speaking of which, I heard from Lao Jiu before that my eldest brother also got involved in his business? I haven't seen my elder brother have such a meaning before."

Yinfei smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, it's just that I found out about it by chance, and I'm my brother, I invested in some shares, which can not only solve Lao Jiu's plight, but also benefit myself Why not do it? This person always needs to hold some real money in his hand to be at ease in his heart. Does the eighth brother think this is the case?"

Yinhu originally thought that Yinyi had ulterior motives, but now seeing him with a brisk expression and a calm manner of speaking, not like a liar, he couldn't help but secretly thought that he was superstitious, and smiled slightly: "It's just like what elder brother said."

This trip went smoothly, and it was expected to arrive at Gaojiaba in the early morning of the next day. After having dinner with Yinzhen that night, Yinhu said to him: "When we arrive at the dam tomorrow, Huang Ama will definitely pass on the news again." Calling Yu Chenglong to discuss the method of water control, what do you think of the fourth brother?"

Xu Zhen frowned upon hearing this, "According to Wei Zhu's words, Huang Ama has already measured the water level of this Gaojiaba first, so it can be seen that the Yellow River's frequent backflow causes the source of the flood to be above the water level. If we blindly control the downstream, we will sooner or later Zhihe pushed to a dead end."

Yinhu nodded, reached out and took the teapot to fill up the tea for the two of them, then pointed to the green leaves floating at the bottom of the cup and said: "What the fourth brother said is very true, in fact, look, the water level is just like the water in this cup , if there are too many tea leaves stored below, the water will naturally float up. When I checked the documents of previous years in the Ministry of Industry, I saw a lot of water control methods, but they often advocated building dams and dikes. This is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. "

Yinzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at the tea in the cup, "If you want to curb the rise of the water level, you must first clean up the river bottom and dredge the river channel. If the water level is low, the rising water will naturally return to the Yellow River. The method is completely feasible!" He became more excited after speaking, and there was a smile that could not be concealed in his voice.

"What the fourth brother said is that if we build the dam in this way, we will be safe." Yinhu took a sip of tea with a smile, "If Huang Ama asks about it tomorrow, the fourth brother can offer this plan."

Yinzhen was startled when he heard the words, "Instead of telling me the method, why didn't you report it to Huang Ama yourself?"

Yinhu smiled slightly, warm and moving, "fourth brother has great ambitions, but I have nothing to seek, I just hope that I can help fourth brother." It was caused by too much accumulated sand, and he told Yinzhen now that he was also thinking about Yinzhen's intention to ask him that day.

Yinzhen did everything possible to win Kangxi's favor, but why not leave such a great opportunity to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen's heart fluttered when he heard the words, and he looked at Yinhu with complicated eyes.

Yinzhen has always been very clear about what he wants, and if he looks for it, he will definitely get it.

It is the same for Yinhu, and it is the same for the supreme seat.

It's just that he often thought of the dream he had when he was sick in Yicheng. In the dream, he seemed to hate Yinhu, and Yinhu also hated himself.

Every time Yinzhen thinks of this dream, of Yinhu's scrawny body in the dream, and of his resentful eyes, he feels a throbbing pain in his heart.

Since ancient times, the Tian family has no kinship, and Yinzhen has been well aware of this truth since he was a child. If the time comes, he will definitely kill Guo Guo without mercy.But what if the opponent is Yinhu?If one day, I want to compete with Yinhu for that chair, what should I do?

Seeing him staring at her without saying a word for a long time, Yinhu turned her face to the side and coughed a few times embarrassedly, "Fourth brother doesn't talk, don't you think I'm troublesome?"

Yinzhen sighed softly, stretched out his hand to hold Yinhu's tightly, and said in a low and gentle voice, "I'm very happy that you planned it this way."

If one day you really want that chair, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat you, because I can't be cruel to you at all.

After arriving at Gaojiaba the next day, Kangxi led people to make another round of inspection, and then recruited several older elder brothers, Yu Chenglong and others to one place to ask everyone's opinions.

Yinbi was always the first one to open his mouth, stating several ways to control the river to Kangxi, and suggested building a dam first to stabilize the water potential before diverting the water to the side.After hearing this, Kangxi just nodded his head, without showing any joy or anger on his face, he turned his head and looked at the others.

Yinzhi said a few words, the meaning of which was not too different from that of Yinzhi, but Kangxi still did not make a statement.Seeing this, Yinzhen cupped his hands and stepped forward, saying that the flood of the Yellow River was caused by the high water level. If the water level is to be lowered, the river must be cleared first, and the bottom of the river must be dredged deeply.

As soon as Yinzhen's words came out, Kangxi's face changed a little, and he ordered Yinzhen to explain in detail, and then he smiled with satisfaction: "I didn't realize before that you still have such a lively mind on the river. The method you said is good, you might as well try it.”

Yu Chenglong was already at a loss for what to do, when he first heard Yinzhen say such a fresh method, thinking that the matter had come to this point, he echoed: "I also feel that the method Sibeile said can be tried. If there is really silted sand, gravel and soil at the bottom of the river, it can be washed away by opening the dam from time to time."

Kangxi immediately made an order to dredge the river first according to Yinzhen's words.Although Yinzhen didn't show any joy on his face, seeing him standing aside with his arms folded, Yinzhen and Yinzhi felt as awkward as swallowing a fly in their hearts.

It's just that Yinzhen didn't have the heart to look at them, and exchanged glances with Yinhu privately. Seeing the slight smile on his lips, Yinzhen felt that he was a little happier than being praised by Kangxi.

After staying here for two days, Kangxi ordered to set off again.After passing through Gaoyou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, after reviewing the garrison in Hangzhou, they returned from Hangzhou and passed Suzhou to Jiangning.When everyone arrived at Jiangning Mansion, it was already the tenth day of April.

Yinhu remembers that Kangxi stayed in Jiangning Mansion for a long time this time, firstly to pay homage to Ming Taizu Mausoleum in person, and secondly because this Jiangning Mansion Weaving Weidong Pavilion was Kangxi's childhood companion, and Kangxi had great affection for him Over the monarch and ministers.After arriving in Jiangning, it was Wei Dongting who picked him up.
