The Qinzheng Palace in Xiyuan was silent and the atmosphere was dignified.

The knives in Kangxi's eyes kept flying towards Galu's body, and the fierce killing intent was churning in his eyes.

After several rounds of training by the empress dowager in the palace, those who remained were experts who had gone through thousands of sails.In fact, the palace people have complained about the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time. I heard that the empress dowager wanted to find fault... Ah, no, after the empress dowager asked to review the inventory of tributes, the palace people who were in charge of counting were quick and quick, almost like Galu went to Xiyuan to work. In the government hall, they made the list in the back foot, hurried to Xiyuan, and sent all the lists to Kangxi.

There is only one word to describe that efficiency: Absolutely!

Kangxi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he kept flipping through the list page by page.You must know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the daily life of the court, and is mainly responsible for all living expenses of the emperor and the royal family. In short, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the emperor's private treasury and the emperor's pocketbook.

Galu was also involved in the misappropriation of tribute by the servants. If it is complicated, it is a major corruption case. In simple terms, it is stealing money from the emperor's pocket.What's more, the person who can be selected by Kangxi to control the money bag must be Kangxi's confidant.

confidant...

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He held his stomach and stared at Galu coldly, and finally gritted his teeth and said two words: "Hehe."

Galu knelt on the ground and shivered.

He originally thought of many excuses along the way—for example, everything was just the empress dowager's speculation, for example, there was no real evidence for everything.But up to now, these excuses have been turned on and around on the tip of Galu's tongue, and he still can't say it in the end.

The main reason is that the empress dowager is too experienced.

She immediately ordered Galu to be escorted to the Qinzheng Palace in Xiyuan, not to mention that she immediately ordered several trusted guards to stop and control all the servants in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Even if Galu's cronies want to tip off the news, they can't do anything.They could only watch helplessly as the guards escorted Galu away, and then the well-trained palace servants began to sort out the checklist data at an astonishing speed, eloquently sorting out a bunch of problematic materials.

In the end, the few cronies could no longer care about Galu. They watched the palace people's every move with bated breath, and begged God to bless the palace people to not find other loopholes...

is it possible?That is of course impossible.

After Galu, all of Galu's cronies were also arrested.

The list sent to Kangxi was clean and refreshing.The questions in the list were circled with a Chinese ink brush by the palace staff, and the corresponding list of account books was also set aside for the emperor's review and reference.

The palace people did a very good job, and Kangxi read the list without hesitation.He closed the list expressionlessly, and then couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore.Kangxi had only one sentence: "Immediately seal up Galu's mansion, and let me search it carefully!"

While Qiqige and Baocheng were wandering in the warehouse, the palace people had already found a lot of things that shouldn't be in his mansion in Galu's mansion.

It can be said that the evidence is conclusive.

Galu, whose last glimmer of hope was completely shattered, collapsed on the ground with a pale face.

When Qiqige and his group returned to Xiyuan and rushed to Qinzheng Hall at the first time, they happened to see the pale-faced Galu being dragged down like a puddle of mud with his feathers removed.

Qiqige glanced at Galu lightly.

She opened the door and entered, her gaze fell on the other two officials.

Their complexions were no better than that of Galu.

The faces of the two were pale, their whole bodies were shaking like sifting chaff, and their knees were constantly beating softly.

Kangxi looked uncertain: "Halason, Tuba."

The two people who were already extremely nervous knelt on the ground immediately, muttering subconsciously, as if they were scared out of their wits.

Kangxi was in a bad mood.

He ignored the strangeness of the two, but said in a deep voice: "You two, as Galu's colleagues, did not find out what he did, what should you do?"

The two kowtowed like pounding garlic, repeatedly begging for mercy.

Kangxi waved his hand and signaled the two to get up: "I order you to atone for your sins, count the number of tributes over the years within three days, and arrest all greedy people who dare to stretch their hands."

Hirazon and Tuba felt certain.

They were happy at first, and then sad. The happy thing was that the emperor didn't seem to want to pursue their responsibility. The sad thing was that the emperor only gave them three days to deal with this matter.Thinking of this, although the two agreed tremblingly, their hearts were beating wildly and their faces were even more troubled.

Baoqing is exactly the age of hatred and hatred.

Seeing the worried faces of Hirazon and Tuba, he was very dissatisfied: "Khan Ama, I see that the two adults have no repentance at all, but seem to be a little restless, maybe."

Baoqing draws a long tune: "They also have problems?"

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence, he asked curiously: "Why did Baoqing ask such a question?"

Guaranteed to get stuck for a while.

His eyes wandered for a moment, and then he raised his head proudly: "Because I observed carefully and understood carefully, I was able to notice the changes in the expressions of the two adults."

Baocheng laughed out loud.

He also imitated Baoqing's long-drawn-out tone, winking: "I want my son to say—I'm afraid that fourth brother is imitating the emperor's mama!"

Baoqing's face flushed, obviously being hit by the words.

Kangxi laughed: "Baoqing can observe and learn from the Empress Dowager, that is also very remarkable."

Baoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously: "Are they really with that, that Galu?"

Kangxi restrained his smile and nodded: "Maybe, maybe not."

Qiqige at the side rolled her eyes: the old Riddler.

Baoqing was stunned—what's the answer?He blinked blankly, and looked at Qiqige for help.

Although Qiqige understood the answer of the Kangxi Riddler, she didn't intend to answer directly.She raised her eyes and looked at Kangxi: "Emperor, the children are still young, you have to take these things apart and explain them in detail. How can the children who are secretive understand? What if there is a misunderstanding?"

Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry.

He looked helpless: "Emperor Niang said too much, how could such a thing happen?"

"Why not?"

"Erchen and Baocheng are smart people—"

"Smartness is misunderstood by cleverness, haven't you heard the saying?" Qiqige had a straight face, and it was rare to teach Kangxi in front of her grandson: "The smarter you are, the more you think, the more you think, the more It’s easy to make mistakes. If you think he knows, but in fact the other party is thinking about something else, talking to a duck, playing the piano to a cow, God knows what problems will arise.”

"I'm not going to—"

"You forgot your mother-in-law?" Qiqige poked Kangxi's forehead with a rare sigh.In order for her son to be close to her own mother, Empress Xiao Kangzhang, in order for Kangxi to sit firmly on the throne, she suppressed her love for her son.Qiqige's expression was gentle: "Maybe in the future, you may think that you are giving the child some face, but the child will think that you are disgusted by you... What do you think?"

Baoqing opened his mouth wide and looked at Huang Mama, his eyes were full of admiration.

As for Baocheng, his heart skipped a beat, and he was inexplicably emotional, recalling some things in his previous life.

In my previous life, I sometimes couldn't understand what Khan Ama was thinking, such as during the war in Junggar.

Baocheng's brows and eyes suddenly sank.

His eyes were like a frozen lake, with a threatening chill.

Baocheng still remembers the anxiety and panic of the messenger guards, the shock and excitement of Suo'etu, the terrified or flattering faces of the palace people, and the abnormally distorted and terrified faces of Yinzhi and others...

What about myself at the time?

On the other hand, he stood stiffly in the Qianqing Palace. At that time, his mind was blank, and the cold air seeped in through his clothes, a bone-piercing coolness.

He can't remember how he told many ministers, how he told Yinzhen and Yinqi to stay in the capital to manage things, and he can't remember when he got on his horse in a hurry and galloped out of Beijing with Yinzhi. faster!It would be nice to see Khan Ama sooner.

Everyone said Khan Ama was seriously ill and dying.

He who has already lost his mother, is he going to lose Khan Ama again?Even Khan Ama, Ukumamo, Huangmamo, or Suo'etu didn't know their despair and fear at that time.

Fortunately, when the two brothers rushed to the camp, Khan Ama was rescued in a coma.

Obviously he went to greet Khan Ama with patience and joy...

Baocheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath and exhaled, and only then forced those obscure memories to leave his mind.

Baocheng didn't want to think about the next thing.

Fate gave him a slap in the face at this moment, and then arrogantly abandoned him.Although he and Khan Ama still maintained the appearance of fatherly kindness and filial piety, that was only on the surface.

The two gradually drifted away, and their relationship gradually became indifferent.

Baocheng shivered, as if a biting cold wind rolled up in his heart, his limbs were stiff, his breathing was stagnant, and he suddenly felt out of breath.

"younger brother?"

"Baocheng!"

Baocheng's sudden abnormality made everyone put down what they were doing and hurriedly gathered around.Kangxi was busy calling the imperial doctor, but Qiqige put the blame on Kangxi: "It's all your fault!"

Kangxi moved his lips: "...?"

His eyes were innocent and wronged—how could it be my fault?Since getting Baoqing, his position in the Queen's mother's heart has gone from bad to worse, and even Baocheng's discomfort is his fault.

Kangxi looked at Qiqige, then at Baocheng.

For a moment, his heart ached to the point of bleeding, but he didn't know who to blame.

He could only vent his anger on Liang Jiugong who was at the side.

Kangxi kicked the innocent Liang Jiugong, and scolded: "Why don't you hurry up and see, why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet!?"

Liang Jiugong let out a cry of pain.

He was very wronged in his heart-you must know the time when the palace talents walked out of the door for three breaths!Liang Jiugong shrank his neck, and trotted out: "Your servant, go and urge the imperial doctor."

When Liang Jiugong stepped out of the palace gate, he could still hear the empress dowager's complaints behind him.Qiqige put her hands on her chest and poked Kangxi's forehead with her fingers: "It's your fault, we are guaranteed to be smart and precocious, so we can't be treated like ordinary children."

Baocheng thinks Qiqige is strange.

Qiqige felt that Baocheng was even more strange.

He is not as innocent and carefree as Baoqing, and he has a different aura from others since he was a child.Baocheng's intimacy with the empress, cautiousness with the emperor, curiosity about himself, and that... pampering feeling when he treated Baoqing?

Qiqige had thought about it before.

The princes in history lived up to expectations, were smart and alert, and were proficient in literary and martial arts. Even after being abolished, Kangxi, many princes, ministers and missionaries never denied this.

Maybe there is such a possibility.

Baocheng is a baby genius?Thinking of Baocheng learning to crawl, walk, and talk faster than Baoqing, who is obviously three years younger than Baoqing, but he was enlightened to read books earlier, and he can read some non-enlightened books, not to mention that he speaks and behaves very well. Polite, well-founded, he doesn't look like a three-year-old at all.

Qiqige had an idea long ago.

Maybe Baocheng Mingxiu's intelligence is different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people need to be guided by correct values.

What's more, what about Baocheng who is a genius?With a straight face, Qiqige pressed her elbow heavily against Kangxi's chest: "Hurry up, hurry up! There is no one else here, why don't you hurry up and say everything you think!"

Kangxi: "..."

He didn't see where Baocheng was precocious or smart.Kangxi curled his lips in disdain, but after all he couldn't hold back Qiqige, and he still made his plan clear in a short time: "Even if Galu is the first offender, Hai Laxun and Tuba are also accomplices who work for tigers. Of course I don't like that." It is easy to let the two of them go, letting them investigate the case themselves is only part of it."

Kangxi grinned: "If you want to do it, make it a big one."

The Queen Mother can teach/teach the people in the harem to be obedient, Kangxi doesn't believe in a house of internal affairs, and he can't handle it himself.
