The first writer of Qing Dynasty

So don't make it too perfect, leave room for it!

For example, drinking hot tea for Khan Ama...

Look, after Yinhu made tea for Kangxi a few times, Kangxi took the initiative to ask Liang Jiugong to serve him: "Liang Jiugong's tea making skills are better. I didn't call you to Yuqian to let you do some small things, Yinhu."

Yinhu regretfully returned the teapot to Liang Jiugong, feeling sorry for not being able to take away Liang Jiugong's job.

Liang Jiugong finally found himself on the verge of being robbed of all his jobs. Hearing that Kangxi insisted on taking care of him, he drove the eighth elder brother away and stayed aside. He was so happy that he burst into tears, and his smile became more flattering. .

"Eighth brother, you step aside, and the servant will make you a cup of tea."

Only Kangxi and Yinhu were left in front of the imperial court, and they chatted about the matters needing attention when going to Wudinghe.

"The several stations on the road were arranged by the Southern Tour before. There is no problem, but the current season coincides with the rainy season, and you may suffer some hardships along the way."

Yinhu said warmly: "The closer you are to the Wuding River, the more humid the environment there is. There are silt in the water and wind and sand in the air."

The Emperor Kangxi had been on a personal expedition, and he didn't care about the troubles and hardships along the way. He ordered everyone to prepare shoes and rain gear.

The next day, when everything was ready, the emperor set off to inspect the embankment of the Wuding River.

Due to the decrease in personnel, Kangxi did not bring other elder brothers with him, but called the fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother, and seventh elder brother.

The eighth elder brother was still thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors at home, so it was naturally Eunuch Ma who came forward.

Interestingly, after Eunuch Ma appeared frequently, the elder brothers all became familiar with him, so there was no doubt about it.

Even the fourth brother with piercing eyes couldn't see the camouflage, and it really is so old that the clothes are seamless.

Yinti followed Khan Ama to meet his elder brother Yinti who stayed in the military camp near the embankment of the Wuding River. He stayed in a place with a lot of wind and sand all year round. Yinti's handsome face became rough from the vicissitudes of life. It is clear that Yinhu feels a lot of pressure with a stronger body than before.

Recalling the experience of being drilled by my elder brother for a month, my legs felt a little weak.

Yinti's eyes were bright and heroic: "I report to Khan Ama, the embankment of the Wuding River has been built, I implore Khan Ama to inspect it!"

Seeing that he has a plan in his chest, he took the initiative to ask for a review, which shows that he has spent a lot of effort and put in a lot of hard work.

After Kangxi observed it himself, he praised Yinti, and the praised Yinti held his head high, as if as long as his father was satisfied, the hardships of these days would disappear in smoke.

The emperor then discussed with his courtiers the policy of river management, and finally decided on a strategy to modify the Wuding River.

When it comes to river governance, the subordinates tend to hold their own opinions. If the emperor doesn't understand anything, he will be vacillating between Jackie Chan and Jin Fu just like he did on his first southern tour.

Now it's the third tour to the south, the emperor has his own experience on river governance, has seen it with his own eyes, and conducted field investigations, and then he and his courtiers decided on the most suitable plan.

The decision of the country's major affairs, the emperor's own talents are also very important.Kangxi knew very well that only by curing the river can the foundation of a prosperous age be laid.Over the past few decades, the Southern Tour has been three times so far, and there will be a fourth, fifth, and sixth time in the future...

Kangxi said: "One day, I will bring this swaying Wuding River into obedience, and then name it Yongding River!"

Every time he made an inspection tour, the local people welcomed it, because they knew what the emperor's visit could bring them, such as more relaxed government orders and a better and more stable life.

Yinhu looked up at the back of the stalwart hero Khan Ama, and little stars of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Being so close to Jun's father, seeing his shining appearance when governing the country with his own eyes, that kind of impact is beyond the shock that dramas in dreams can't give.

This kind of shock has had a huge impact on Yinhu, who is in charge of the Minister of Health. He has never understood better than at this moment what he is doing and what he is protecting.Great Qing, Khan Ama, imperial power, the world...

This feeling was not stuffed into him by the emperor's uncle like a force-feeding duck, but he realized it himself.

If the brothers really fought to the death like in the drama, turned the court upside down, and the faction continued to fight, then how many steps Khan Ama is doing now, how many steps forward in the future will be how many steps back?

Yinhu was thoughtful, followed Kangxi on his way back to the mansion, and listened to his father's order to promote Zhijun Wang's official position in the army to another level, which faintly meant to fight against the clan.

It is a good thing for the eldest brother to be promoted in the army, and it is beneficial to the centralization of Han Ama's imperial power, but the second brother will be anxious again.

Yinhu sighed, Kangxi saw his melancholy look, and said angrily: "Go to Zhiqun Prince's Mansion and read the imperial decree to Baoqing."

Yinhu looked surprised: "Didn't Khan Ama let Eunuch Wei run errands on weekdays?"

Kangxi said lightly: "I can't order you anymore?"

That's not true, it's just getting dark.

"After reading the imperial decree, you go back to the mansion directly, and you don't have to come back." Kangxi waved his hand at him.

In the evening, he was planning to recruit a concubine, so why did Yinhu come with him?Of course he has to be dismissed.

Yinhu suddenly realized, and respectfully said: "My son, go now."

He carried the edict of his elder brother's promotion in his hand all the way to the Zhiqun Prince's Mansion. After reading the edict, his elder brother Yinti blushed and said cheerfully, "Come here, give Mr. Ma a big red envelope!"

Yinhu:? ? ?

Yinti smiled and said, "You are welcome, Eunuch Ma. For today's happy event, I will give you a red envelope to make you feel happy and win the prize."

Eunuchs who help run errands will be rewarded with "red envelopes". This seems to be a hidden rule in the Forbidden City, and the eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace are the most luscious.

Yinhu weighed the weight of the red envelope in his hand, and was secretly surprised. He recalled that he also gave red envelopes to the father-in-law who came to announce the decree, and sometimes asked them about some things.

Who made them serve in front of Khan Ama?You can always get some news that others don't know.

Yinti really asked Yinhu, and wanted to hear some gossip from him.

Yinhu picked up some things that people have known for a long time and said: "The emperor plans to cut down the clan, maybe he will start with the examination of the clan's children first!"

Seeing that he couldn't find anything else, Yinti took a deep look at him, smiled and ordered someone to send Eunuch Ma outside the mansion.

"The horse eunuch who is newly favored by Han Ama is smooth, with a very firm mouth." Yinti said meaningfully.

Yinhu held a generous red envelope "reward" in his hand, and when he opened it, oh, it turned out to be a bag of golden beans made of gold. The big brother was really generous.

Thoughtful, he seems to have realized something, and discovered a new way for eunuchs to make a fortune!

From then on, when Eunuch Ma followed Kangxi, he would take the initiative to do some errands, such as going to the courtiers' mansion to read out the imperial decree, and to pass on the emperor's instructions to his elder brothers.

It turned out that these tasks were taken over by other eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace when Liang Jiugong was serving in front of the imperial court. The eunuch Wei Zhu who was second only to Liang Jiugong and was favored by Kangxi was the eunuch Wei Zhu. When Eunuch Ma came, he directly pushed Wei Zhu away. He took away the errands that were about to come to Wei Zhu several times, how could this not make Wei Zhu angry?

As someone who has ambitions to climb up, he still can't show it, and his mind is full of thinking about taking away Liang Jiugong and becoming the number one celebrity in the imperial court, the head of the eunuch.

Now on the way to the top of the eunuch, Chen Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway, Wei Zhu couldn't help feeling jealous and dissatisfied with Ma Gonggong?

It's just that there is too little interaction between them. Whenever Eunuch Ma appears, it is the time when the emperor discusses state affairs with important ministers and elder brothers.

As a result, the eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace came up with a new strategy, a plan to divorce!

Divide Liang Jiugong and Ma Jia, and see how long Liang Jiugong will allow him.

There was a news report from outside, the subordinates had something to discuss and needed to make up their minds, and the concubines and concubines in the harem sent people to find the emperor, etc. These rumors from the imperial court were originally Liang Jiugong's job.

With the acquiescence of several senior eunuchs in Qianqing Palace and Wei Zhu's signal, a young eunuch brought these matters to Eunuch Ma and told them.

"Eunuch Ma, the emperor hasn't been to the harem for several days. Would you like to remind the emperor that the empresses of all palaces have sent people to ask?"

Yinhu looked puzzled, and he glared at the little eunuch who stopped him: "You have to talk to Liang Jiugong about this matter, the Sa family is not responsible for this."

The little eunuch's smile didn't change, he hurriedly hinted at Yinhu: "Eunuch Ma doesn't know something, when ladies send maids to ask questions, they always bring red envelopes."

There is a lot of oil and water in it, and you just watched it all be taken by Eunuch Liang?

Yinhu said unexpectedly: "Red envelopes? How many are there?"

He also knew about spending money everywhere in the harem, and there were also occasions when court ladies and eunuchs favored each other, but he didn't expect this matter to dance in front of him.

Seeing the door, the little eunuch smiled and said: "It depends on the mood of the nobles."

The specific operation is to wake up the emperor with the premise, or say a few words, if the concubines send the maids with red envelopes, then accept them, and if the emperor really went to the concubine's palace tonight, and There will be bigger red envelopes given back to them.

Yinhu was very interested: "There is such a good thing!"

He pretended that he was greedy for money, and quietly hid the money bag that the little eunuch brought up in his pocket. Seeing that the smile on the little eunuch's face deepened, he received his hint, and the old god said: "In the future Just ask me to report this job, Liang Jiugong will not work for me."

The little eunuch was full of joy, and hurriedly bowed and flattered him, expressing his strong desire to hug Eunuch Ma's thigh.

From the eunuchs, Yinhu learned many new ways to make a fortune!

Taking advantage of the power of "Eunuch Ma", he made a fortune after another. The officials' rewards were no longer satisfied with him. Do things, do good things for ministers and other errands, develop new ways to make money, and make money every day.

Yinhu spent a month like this, and seeing his father ordered Fei Yanggu and Isang'a to go to the school to test the riding and shooting of the clan's children, he immediately understood that the thirsty knife in Khan Ama's hand was finally brandished.

He cheerfully presented his gains from this month to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, this is my honor to you!"

Kangxi wondered: "Why do you honor me? Why don't you go back, it's getting dark soon."

Yinhu opened the box that he had harvested for a month, and Eunuch Ma made a huge profit in the Qianqing Palace, draining all the people under him, and he did not know how many people were jealous!

Wei Zhu envied and envied him behind his back, and scolded him: "Just wait and see, he is so reckless, he must fall miserably in the future, and he will regret it only when he dies without a place to bury him. This is the price of greed."

It's not that Yinhu didn't know that the eunuchs in Qianqing Palace were targeting Eunuch Ma, so he smiled and asked Kangxi, "Khan Ama, whose brand are you looking for tonight?"

Kangxi: "..."

Liang Jiugong saw so much gold, some of them looked like they were being arranged by the empresses of various palaces, his pupils shrank, and he knew that something was wrong!

He knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

When Kangxi saw that there was something he didn't understand about the money bag, his expression turned cold, and he looked at Liang Jiugong displeased.

Cold sweat poured out of Liang Jiugong's forehead, and he honestly reported to the emperor the default rules and transactions hidden in the dark of Qianqing Palace.

It is very common for eunuchs to get kickbacks and maids to get red envelopes in the harem, and those who serve the emperor get even more.

These are all "rewards" by the nobles, and they accept bribes for corruption.

It's just that when they need to do things, they can blow the wind and remind the emperor of some things.

"Why don't you go to Mr. Wang's place tonight?"

Wang Guiren is currently the most favorite among the young concubines, and has given birth to fifteen elder brothers and sixteen elder brothers, and he is also very generous.

Kangxi twisted his nose in anger, and scolded with eyebrows: "Yinhu! If you worry about the chaos in the world, I will punish you for the crime of disrespect in front of the imperial court!"

Yinhu was so frightened that he handed over all the stolen goods he had earned this month to Khan Ama, and reported them one by one.

Is the number of times he lost his way in front of the imperial court less?The time Bagege lost her hair and turned into a bald girl was enough punishment.

Liang Jiugong was in distress, and Yinhu's little eyes were already filled with pleading: Ancestor!Take it easy, you have pierced everyone's way of getting money, and there will be no room for maneuver in the future.

"Eight elder brother Yinhu" has been punished at home, of course Kangxi can't punish "Yinhu" again, so he glared at Liang Jiugong and blamed him for not managing the eunuchs under him well.

This is a rule that existed in the first emperor's time, long before he became the chief eunuch!

And he is just a member of the crowd under the rules.

Liang Jiugong was so smart that he knew that at this time, quibbling and evasion would really provoke the emperor's anger. He pinched his nose and admitted, "It's the slave who is negligent, and the slave is guilty!"

"I hate cliques and favoritism the most," Kangxi said coldly.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly replied: "This slave has followed the emperor so far, and all the rewards he has received have been rewarded by the emperor. He has never done anything wrong because of this, and he will not take advantage of it." He served the emperor from the heart, not the trend of interests. !

Kangxi's mood is ruined, what's wrong with it?

As long as he thought of which concubine he favored on a whim, it was all calculated by others, and he felt a shock in his heart.

Kangxi said coldly: "If you don't clean up, there are many people who want to be the chief eunuch."

Liang Jiugong hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes! The servant will definitely solve this matter!"

As early as when Yinhu infiltrated the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong had expected such a day, but he didn't expect that the subordinates would be so restless, and this day would come so quickly!

Yinhu directly exposed the unspoken rules of the eunuchs, and Liang Jiugong was blamed.Like a fisherman, he cast the bait down to see how many hungry fish would take the bait.

Kangxi thought that he was doing too much, and said lightly: "The eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace are all human beings. They are cautious, and they will not easily fall into the trap of others. Your harvest this month is already sky-high. What will happen next You'll be easily fooled." If there were such idiots who only cared about their immediate interests, they wouldn't be alive now.

Yinhu laughed and said: "Nahhan Ama, why don't you take a look at how the son fishes, the son will definitely kill the untrustworthy villains and possible crises lurking around you in the cradle."

He can devote himself to any line of work. When he was the minister in charge of health affairs, he was reserved, and when he wrote the scriptures, he caused a storm. Even if he pretended to be a eunuch, he was still doing well.

Liang Jiugong has never seen anyone who can toss more than the eighth elder brother in his life!

Before he knew it, "Eunuch Ma" also had a group of eunuchs at his disposal, with a lot of face. Some of them were eunuchs who were attracted here and there, and some were dug from Liang Jiugong's hands.

Kangxi, who was most afraid of forming cliques for personal gain, looked ugly when he saw that he caught all the restless people in the Qianqing Palace.

According to legend in the harem: Eunuch Ma is the most capable gangster under the eyes of the emperor. He covers the sky with one hand, commits all kinds of evil, is greedy, and has won the trust of the emperor. It is really chilling to be so treacherous by the emperor's side.

The concubines in the harem whispered about this rumor, and even the noble Wang who had suffered a lot went to the concubine De and cried in front of the concubine, saying that Eunuch Ma cheated him of his money, and the emperor did not go to her at all.

The [-]th elder brother born by Wang Guiren was raised in the Palace of Concubine De, and the relationship between the two is very close.

Concubine De did not speak for the nobleman Wang, but instead reprimanded her for being unsteady and asked her to copy the scriptures to pray for the emperor.

Afterwards, she talked to Yinzhen, telling him to pay more attention to the "Eunuch Ma" in front of the emperor.

When Yinzhen heard that Eunuch Ma was actually a "treacherous sycophant", he frowned deeply. When he saw Eunuch Ma several times in front of the imperial court, his eyes were filled with scrutiny and displeasure.

Yinzhen, who hates corrupt officials deeply, can't tolerate greedy people the most, not to mention Eunuch Ma is not only greedy, but also forms a party.

Yinzhen's anger gradually came up, he must expose Majia's true colors in front of Khan Ama!

Yinhu didn't know that the fourth brother was staring at him. Seeing that the fish were all biting the bait, he handed over the list to Kangxi, waiting for his father to order to clean the maids and eunuchs around him.

The water in Qianqing Palace became muddy, and Liang Jiugong was so busy that he gave Yinhu a hard time to operate, but the effect was obvious.

The people below were submissive, and they didn't dare to have any small thoughts for the time being, and the matter of taking oil and water disappeared for the time being.

Kangxi seemed to hear the crisp sound of slaps on his face, and he was so angry that he reprimanded Yinhu: "You can be successful as a eunuch, and you are so successful?!"

Yinhu's face was sprayed with ashes, and he sighed: "Okay, Khan Ama's face slapped, it's because she became angry from embarrassment."
