The emperor's anger was for Prince Ba Yelian.

Time is fair to everyone. The emperor here ascended the throne ten years earlier, avoiding Kangxi's most painful ten-year road to succession in his later years, but other elder brothers also avoided this dark age.

For example, the eighth master here has never experienced the time when he was completely suppressed by Emperor Kangxi in the last few years, and the ministers who have good relations with him are still blooming everywhere.

Back then, when Kangxi had accumulated power for decades, when he asked the important ministers about the candidate for the crown prince, he found that the courtiers all recommended the eighth elder brother, which shows what others think of him.

Since the emperor came to the throne, in order to stabilize the court, he was also named a prince and let him lead the Ministry of Industry and the Academy of Lifan.

This time the emperor was angry because of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.The emperor asked the Ministry of Industry to recommend suitable officials to go to the south to control the Yellow River and build dams. Prince Lian swiped a pen, and the papers presented were all officials close to him.

The emperor was naturally annoyed, and directly reprimanded Prince Lian for engaging in state affairs for selfish purposes.

After Prince Lian was reprimanded, many people pleaded for him.

The emperor was even angrier: Everyone looked at Lao Ba very well and thought he was a very polite big cat, but the emperor saw him as a wolf, tiger and leopard in sheep's clothing.

After hearing that the emperor had reprimanded Prince Lian, the Fourteenth Lord rushed to the Palace of Qinzheng Qinxian in Yuanmingyuan to comfort him.

As soon as he entered the door and heard the emperor talk about the gathering of Prince Lian's cronies, Fourteen said casually: "In fact, many people may not be myna's cronies, but they have a good relationship with him. Who doesn't want to see a smiling face, of course they are kind and gentle, Others like it more when they look at it, even when I was a child, I thought it was eight..."

He originally wanted to persuade the emperor, but after trying to persuade him, he almost talked bald and went astray.

In the warning eyes of Master Shisan next to him, Fourteen slammed on the brakes on the spot: "Eighth...Eighth sister-in-law is so straightforward and unrestrained. Our sister-in-law is better at talking. Although fourth sister-in-law treats us little ones well, she is always a treasure Majestic, like a Bodhisattva, we dare not laugh out loud."

How could the emperor fail to hear his blunt turning point, and gouged him out with a knife.

Fourteen hurriedly pointed out something and slipped away.When I went out, I cursed myself in my heart: You said you, why would you come here while the stove is hot, every time you came to catch the light.

In the room, Prince Yi saw that Shisi had run away, so he said: "Brother, don't take it to heart, Shisi rushed here, I think I heard that you got angry and came to comfort me, so you can see that you know right from wrong in your heart."

With the emperor in his heart, he opened his mouth helplessly.

Seeing that Shisi looked like he had been scorched by fire, the emperor couldn't help but think in his heart that Shisi here is not against him, but he has never been beaten and tempered by the late emperor in his later years, and he has never led troops to the battlefield. It cannot be reassuring.

The emperor was going to throw him out for a year or two to sharpen his temperament, and also to prevent him from staying in Beijing for a long time, and then messing with Prince Lian and others.

Then he complained to Master Thirteen: "I don't know who the Fourteenth's quick temper who said that the wind is the rain followed." At this moment, the emperor selectively forgot how moody and short-tempered he was when he was young.

However, Prince Yi nodded and agreed: "It's about the words of the emperor's brother. The fourteenth brother has less experience, so he is far less calm and calm than the emperor's brother."

The two brothers looked at each other, whatever they looked at.

Prince Yi did not feel that the emperor was moody from the bottom of his heart: since he was a child, the fourth brother's anger was all due to him, and he was only angry when he should be angry, and it was not impermanent. In his eyes, the fourth brother was sometimes very restrained.

As for the emperor's impatience, in Prince Yi's view, it was because the subordinates were too slow in doing things, and he could not blame others for being anxious.

Seeing that summer is approaching, summer has always been the season of heavy floods in the Yellow River. This year, there is plenty of rain in spring, and small floods have already occurred in some places.

Prince Lian's move of wanting to place his cronies on the river was ahead of him, and after accepting the offers in Huaiyang, the emperor decided where to send Shisi to practice.

This river project is very demanding: you have to deal with officials from top to bottom to prevent them from corruption; you have to go to the embankment in person to check whether there are any cut corners and poor quality; you have to have a plan in mind, and you will calculate the local labor for river control in advance. Expenses such as excavation, excavation, embankment, etc. should be claimed from the household department. If the overspending is too much, even if the river embankment is stable, the errands will not be considered the best.

In short, it is an errand that tests the true skills.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, there were several governors of river governance, all of whom were entrusted with the emperor's special purpose: when the governor of river governance arrived in the local area, he was on an equal footing with the governors of Liangjiang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan and Shaanxi.

The emperor is going to let Guanbao go to control the river, and fourteen will accompany him.He released Fourteen to practice and learn, so he can teach him again if he makes mistakes and stumbles.But let Guan Bao go, just to test whether he is a capable minister, and he will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility in the future.

Besides, it is one thing to be capable as a courtier, and loyalty is what the emperor valued more: Emperor Yongzheng himself had a lot of experience in river management in his previous life, and he knew the expenditure on the river.This time Guanbao is sent out, if he regards himself as the 'new emperor' as an emperor who doesn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but only sits on the clouds and is fooled by others, then he has made a wrong calculation!

If he is really an honest, loyal and available person, the emperor will have many errands for him in the future.

In the previous life, neither he nor the thirteenth brother could live long, and it must have been caused by overwork and illness. The emperor is willing to pick someone who is suitable for the tasks that can be divided this time.

It was only after the emperor returned to the palace that the queen mother learned that the emperor was going to send Fourteen to control the river.

It is said that a walk can be as short as a few months, and as long as a year or two.

The emperor wanted to explain one more thing to the queen mother, fearing that the queen mother would not be willing to go out to endure hardships at fourteen, but the queen mother was very happy: "Our princes in the Qing Dynasty are not spoiled. At that time, the first emperor personally marched, and you followed him when you were only a teenager." I went, the first few princes of you all killed the enemy with your own hands, and saw the battlefield early. But the children after the tenth generation, it seems that there are fewer scenes."

The emperor saw that the queen mother was not reluctant, so he was even less worried.

The queen mother also cared about him in turn: "It's not that Ai's family wants to ask about the previous court affairs, it's just that he is only in his 20s at the end of the fourteenth year, the emperor, you have him as a brother in your heart, and your mother will be happy to give him an important job, don't let him miss it." Your main business—this Zhihe leader, can he really be able to? If not, there is no need to praise him, so that he will not cause trouble for you in Beijing."

This is not the time when the Qing Dynasty first entered the customs and the Eight Banners were not enough. Now, how many people with yellow belts and red belts have no real shortage and serious errands.

Don't talk about distant relatives, just say that the late emperor gave birth to so many sons, although it sounds like they all belonged to Prince Baylor, but of course it's different if they have errands, and the respect and filial piety of outsiders are far behind.

The queen mother is also afraid that the emperor will deliberately give benefits to the fourteen officials in order to ease her heart, so it is better not to miss the state affairs.

The emperor was a little at a loss.

Before he came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he had thought about how to persuade the Queen Mother not to be reluctant to endure fourteen's hardships, etc., but he never thought that the Queen Mother would be worried about him, whether he would be wronged because of Fourteen.

The mother and child have been separated for a long time, and the emperor has become a person who is used to walking in the ice and snow in single clothes. Now, the warm cloak and the hot hand stove that suddenly came to his head made him a little bit unable to adapt.

So he paused for a while before saying: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I have already appointed Guanbao as the governor of the river, Shisi is the county king who is ordered to supervise, and nothing will go wrong."

The Empress Dowager felt relieved, and felt that the name Guanbao was familiar, she thought for a while and couldn't help asking: "Is it the nobleman's Ama?"

The emperor nodded.

The Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor was a self-disciplined person, if she stayed a meal, he would accept it, but after spending a lot of time in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, after returning home all night, he would read the papers he should read before going to bed.So he didn't stay any longer, and only asked the emperor not to stay up too late, and let him go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the emperor left, the queen mother sat in the wing room by herself, and suddenly sighed.

Aunt Wu Ya wondered: "The emperor is filial to the empress, and now the king of Xun County has an urgent job, why is the empress still sighing?"

The Empress Dowager said: "I see that the emperor is so preoccupied these days that he doesn't even go to the imperial concubine's place. Just now he was talking, but suddenly he was stunned for a long time. I think he was very tired. Originally, the emperor went to the Old Summer Palace to relax. Who Knowing that the screwdriver did another waste, the emperor came back full of anger."

During the time of the first emperor, the palace rules were strict, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

Although Emperor Kangxi himself was raised and taught by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, he never wanted to let a woman like a grandmother come out of the harem, and he drew a red line of life and death for all concubines early on, and whoever interfered in politics would seek death.

When the empress dowager was a concubine, she was used to keeping this line. Now that her son is the emperor, she is not prepared to tear down the table, let alone be the empress dowager of Xiaozhuang.So she was just like the people in the palace, knowing that the emperor reprimanded Prince Lian and others in the Old Summer Palace, she was furious, and no longer asked about the details.

Anyway, her son is already the emperor, and the emperor can't be wrong, it must be someone else who is wrong.

Afraid that the Empress Dowager might be angry, Aunt Wu Ya hurriedly spoke for the Empress Dowager: "Long Live Lord is wise and mighty, it's a real dragon descending to earth, empress, please don't think too much—your body is uneasy, and Long Live Lord has to be worried."

He also persuaded the queen mother to have her own master and son, and now there is still something going on in the palace.

"Five days from now, it will be the day when the new young lords enter the palace for one month. The empress must have already been planning the palaces of the young lords, and it is inevitable to come to ask the empress to make up her mind."

The one-month rule study in Chuxiu Palace can be said to be anticlimactic.

In the final exam, the imperial concubine seemed to lose interest, and the questions she asked were very serious and simple, as if she had suddenly changed from a difficult selective civil service exam to a college elective exam.The exams were all key points drawn by the teacher in advance, and everyone in Chuxiu Palace passed it smoothly.

Jiang Heng also accidentally got a perfect score.

This time, the question paper was finally sent to the queen as usual.

The queen looked at the same paper as last time, and she had already finished scoring, and smiled at Xue Ya next to her, "The imperial concubine has such a temper, even if she lowers her head, she will never give in and show weakness on the face."

At this time, she was still holding the newcomer's answer sheet in her hand, and only sent it after finishing the three-six-six-six-level waiting, which is the stubbornness of the noble concubine.

He refused to show the appearance of surrendering to her, the queen.

The queen still remembered that the emperor disliked the newcomers and didn't bother to study the rules last time. This time, seeing that everyone passed, she hurriedly presented the test papers to the emperor again, trying to change his impression.

Subconsciously, the emperor first paid attention to Mr. Xin's words: Sure enough, she answered the question paper well, and I don't know if she has time to play with the star moving instrument I gave her these days.

Seeing that the emperor's eyebrows are relaxed today, he is obviously in a good mood, so the queen picked up the harem affairs that need the emperor's ear to talk about one by one: while he was in a good mood, he would report a little more, and the emperor nodded and the matter was over.

From the anniversary of the first emperor, the concubines in the harem have to add two parts of spring and summer clothes, to the house of the three princes in the elder brother's house has been re-paved, and the fourth and fifth elder brothers can choose to move there. Things like this are all handled by her, the queen, but she can't make a decision all at once.

The emperor leaned on the large backrest with forged gold ten thousand character ruyi patterns, and listened to the empress, he nodded at first, and then he just let out a little humming in response.

The queen speeded up, trying to finish all the important things before the emperor became impatient.

Fortunately, we will soon come to the last one, which is the matter of assigning palaces to newcomers.
