When Yinfeng arrived, the original mess in Zhaoren Hall had already been cleaned up.Booklets were rearranged and classified, and broken teacups were cleaned up.However, his Khan Ama's expression is still not peaceful.

He didn't know what the situation was right now, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything more, but he hurried forward a few steps, raised his robe and knelt down, "I will see Khan Ama, and please Khan Ama calm down, it's important to take care of the dragon's body."

"Let's get up." Kangxi's face was ashen, and he handed the re-placed booklet on the desk to Yinfeng, and angrily said: "Look at what those stupid things have done!"

Yinfeng thanked him, took the notebook and got up to look through the notebook.

There are some official words written at the beginning of the booklet, which is nothing important.He saw the end at a glance, read the reasons for the matter several times, and finally put the heart that he had been holding on before finally back to the original place.The matter is not as serious as what Liang Jiugong said, and the truth is still somewhat different from what he recounted.

The original reason is this.After the villagers in Shinan Prefecture in Hubei Province were found to have exchanged farmland privately to avoid taxation, they were displeased with the government’s punishment of taking back their land, and united dozens of villagers from two nearby towns to stick to their land and refused to leave. , and clamored for the servants to return the land to them.

The yamen servants followed the orders from their superiors, so naturally they refused to give in easily.What's more, they still have a bit of ink greed in them.The principles of the two sides have conflicts, and the people are even more resentful when they see that the land they eat will be taken back.He was beaten again by the yamen servants in the name of making trouble, and even more broken, and gathered together to protest at the gate of the government.

Shi Nan's government official has always been a lazy person who fishes in troubled waters. Seeing that things can't be suppressed, he starts to panic.In order to escape punishment, he reported to Shangguan overnight.

But Wu Mingli, the governor of Hubei, is not a smart person. Not only did he not choose to appease the people in a timely manner when the incident happened, but he even ordered more officials to be sent to suppress and drive the villagers away.This made the people who were already flustered even more frightened. They simply broke the boat and set up a dragon gate array at the gate of the official yamen as if they were going to fight with the government.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.Therefore, the confrontation incident in Shi Nanfu spread very quickly, and within a few days, it spread almost all the prefectures and counties in Hubei.The people were panicked, thinking that the government wanted to take back the new land they had opened.

As soon as the butterfly effect started, not only Shi Nan Mansion, but also Yichang Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion had incidents of confrontation between the common people and the government.

Wu Mingli wanted to come here because he was worried that he would be settled by Qiu Hou, so every sentence in the book was written in a serious way, so as to divert attention, and by the way, show how he can understand the people's sentiments in a timely manner.

Therefore, the actual meaning of this letter is not that the villagers in Xiatou have raised the banner of uprising, but that they "seem to gather a crowd to revolt" and "the minister is worried that they have the intention of rebelling against the minister".At that time, Liang Jiugong knelt far away. From his sight, didn't he only see "rebellion" and "rebellion".

However, there is more than a slight difference between these two sentences in the book and what Liang Jiugong conveyed.

Although the matter was not that big, Yinfeng gritted his teeth secretly after seeing it.Fortunately, Wu Mingli used to be under Mingzhu's sect, so he did things without rules.He couldn't do even a little thing, and the people complained so much that they wanted to gather a crowd to make trouble.

Besides, Liang Jiugong really doesn't know the importance of this slave, if the fire has a three-point momentum, he will pour fuel into it!

But right now is not the time to worry about this, the most important thing is to appease Khan Ama first.

Yinreng adjusted his expression, and handed back the zhezi as it was, "I have already read the zhezi, and I think Wu Mingli's methods were too aggressive, which made the people mistakenly think that Khan Ama's government is strict."

How else can I put it, there has to be someone who can take the blame if things happen.Yinfeng sighed silently in his heart, I'm sorry Master Mingzhu, I only blame your servants for being too stupid.

Kangxi was still not relieved, he threw the booklet on the kang table and said angrily: "My reputation has been ruined by my stupid servant!"

The reason why he was angry was not because the common people made troubles. The Qing Dynasty was so vast, with so many prefectures in the world, there were few troubles caused by the common people every year.

What really made him angry was that there was a flood in Hubei the year before last. He repeatedly showed favors, not only exempted from taxes but also gave subsidies, for fear that the people would resent the court.But this stupid thing not only failed to comfort the people and make them feel grateful for the emperor's grace, but on the contrary, it was a hindrance and made the people think he was fatuous.

Yinfeng opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but he heard the servants outside come in and report: "Long live back, the elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Zhang Ying, and Xiong Cilu are already outside. waiting."

"Tell them to come in." Kangxi said with a gloomy face.

Several people entered the Hall of Zhaoren one after another, and after paying their respects together, Zhang Ying took a hasty look at Yinfeng, and said first: "I think it is urgent, I should send someone to check the specific situation first." On the way they came They have already discussed it, and they all feel that even if Wu Mingli is punished now, it will not benefit the overall situation, and it is better to stabilize the public opinion first to benefit the situation.

He regretted that he came late, and wondered if the prince had any idea just now.

Except for him, no one made a sound.It's hard for Mingzhu to say anything, after all, Wu Mingli used to be his disciple.It would be bad if the emperor thought that he had the intention of protecting him.

After knowing that the matter was not serious, Suo'etu made up his mind that as long as the emperor didn't ask him, he wouldn't say a word.He came in purely with the mentality that he must see the bright pearl.

The eldest brother, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother came to learn from experience.In this scene, there is obviously no chance for them to express their opinions.

Yinreng exchanged glances with his teacher at a place where he, Khan Ama, could not see, to show that he hadn't made up his mind just now.Then he stepped forward and echoed: "My son thinks that I should send my family to investigate this matter. The elder brother is mature and prudent, and the fourth younger brother is meticulous. The two of them are the best candidates."

Anyway, it's impossible for him, Khan Ama, to ask him to make a trip, so it's better to be a favor.Anyway, the fourth child probably wants to express himself.

Suo'etu didn't know that he was actually recommending the fourth elder brother, but when he saw that he recommended the eldest elder brother first, his face darkened a little.

Obviously, only the emperor can make a decision on this matter, but whoever can run this leg can also be regarded as the credit.It's fine if the crown prince can't go by himself, so why give it to the elder brother?

Although he has "reconciled" with Mingzhu on the surface, he still has some knots with his elder brother who has supported him for many years.This is also a bit of "licking the calf" in it. Even if he is estranged from the prince, he doesn't want the prince to be suppressed by the elder brother.

Suo'etu's subtle state of mind has not been noticed by anyone. The few people present are still focused on dealing with the major issues of public opinion risks, waiting to hear the final opinion of the master. No one has time to carefully check what the people around them are. expression.

As for the two named Yin Yin and Yin Zhen, they are obviously a little more energetic than before. It is obvious that the two brothers are looking forward to the job of "running errands".

Kangxi nodded slightly.What Zhang Ying said was very much in his mind, and he didn't want to punish the people severely after reading Wu Mingli's one-sided words, but he had to understand the cause and effect before making a decision.

He raised his eyes to look at the two sons recommended by the prince back, silently compared Yinzhen and Yinzhen who were standing in front of him, thinking about who was more suitable to check the situation of Shi Nanfu.

Of the two brothers, the elder brother has a straightforward personality and is inevitably impulsive.The fourth elder brother has a meticulous mind and is obviously more public and private, so he will not be easily bribed by his subordinates to conceal the truth.

Kangxi's eyes turned around the two brothers, and after deliberating for a while, he said: "Yinzhen, you can run for me this time. If those slaves still have something to hide, they must report to me in time."

The fourth elder brother heard that he was named, his eyes brightened, "Yes, I will live up to the expectations of Khan Ama!" Although the tone of his voice remained unchanged, several people present could clearly hear his irrepressible excitement. Excited, Yin Yin, who was standing next to him, was taken aback by him.

Thank you for your kindness, and the fourth elder brother withdrew directly.He still has to go back to pack his luggage. The journey to Hubei is a long way away, and it will take several days to hurry.He had to hurry up and get the minions ready.

Seeing him walking swiftly, Yin Ling stared at his back and curled his lips.The fourth child really can't stand things, he is so happy with a little errand.

But thinking of the credit Mingzhu had promised to help him get, he felt a little better just now when he was still aggrieved.Then he turned his head in time and listened to the old foxes present to analyze how to deal with the matter.

When Yinfeng turned his head, Yinfeng was reporting the solution he thought of.

According to his thinking, it is natural that the main thing is to appease and win over. Wu Mingli sent government servants to suppress it, which is already a slap in the face of the people, so they have to figure out how to supply the people with a sweet date.Otherwise, the imperial court has sung all the bad faces, and then other people will want to sing red faces for the imperial court.

Mingzhu and Zhang Yingming, two different factions, rarely agree with Yinfeng's idea.But as to how to give sweet dates, the two of them disagreed again.

What Zhang Ying wanted was to temporarily exempt all land taxes in Hubei this year.People depend on food for their livelihood, and the people depend on the land for their livelihood. If they don't have land and then pay land taxes, it is no different from "officials forcing the people to rebel".However, his original words were more tactful, and he did not directly say the words "officials force the people to rebel".

But there is something that the people present don't understand.After Kangxi listened to his words, the gloomy look in his eyes became more serious.

Seeing this, Mingzhu immediately opened her mouth to refute, "The exemption of land tax is to make the people think that the court is lenient, and as long as they make trouble, they can back down. If things go on like this, the people will make more progress."

Kangxi listened to the argument between the two of them back and forth, but didn't say anything for a while.It's just that in his heart, he also feels that the land tax cannot be exempted. As Mingzhu said, this opening cannot be easily opened.

"Prince, what do you mean?" Kangxi stared at Yinfeng and asked.

Yinfeng's mind was already spinning fast, but just now, while listening to the endless debate between Master Zhang and Mingzhu, a somewhat "ridiculous" thought flashed through his mind.If you can't exempt from taxation, you can only find a way in other ways.

He opened his mouth and said, "I think..."

For some reason, seeing his expression, Xiong Cilu instantly had a very subtle premonition.He intuitively felt that what the crown prince said next would definitely make everyone, including the emperor, dumbfounded.
