History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 144
So where are the so-called trabeculae?
Minning and Fourth Master looked at the 200 taels of silver on the table together, and then looked at the kneeling person below.
This person is the "Xiao Liang" that Hong Kyung and the others couldn't find everywhere. At this time, "Xiao Liang" has lost all his sternness. If he appears in front of Hong Kyung and the others again, maybe they have to wonder whether they have admitted the wrong person up.
This "Little Liang" was none other than Si Ye's sticky stick who specially arranged to enter the training ground to protect Hong Kyung and Hong Shi.
It was only after being used by Min Ning for a while that he became a liar, and directly cheated Hong Kyung's 200 taels back.
Fourth Master pointed to the 200 taels of silver, "Take it to the bank and redeem that jade pendant." Where did the silver come from and where does it go?As for the bills, fourth master's words are golden words, do you still need bills?
"Little Liang" responded quickly.
Minning added, "After the two second elder brothers arrange to enter the bank, I will return all the silver to the owner." Although he made a trap and got the 200 taels of silver out of his son's hands, the innocent man You can't take your money, and you're not a real liar.
"Xiao Liang" quickly replied: "If you go back to your mother, the money belongs to the brothers, and it was returned yesterday."
Minning immediately glanced at the fourth master, and the people around his affectionate son were all sticky.
The fourth master rubbed his nose, the two sons were thrown outside, he was naturally worried, and had to arrange for someone to protect the two sons.
The task of these people is to train with the two little masters during the day, and distribute around the little masters at night to protect their safety.
Minning didn't care too much about this matter, and then she realized that the people at the sticky pole were all very good at acting.
Even Hong Kyung and Hong Shi, two clever little tricksters, were fooled.
"That's fine, each person will receive another 100 taels later, and the two little guys will be handed over to you."
"Little Liang" thanked you.
After the others retreated, Fourth Master turned to her and asked, "What the hell are you thinking?" He felt that if the two sons were handed over to An Jia, they would be spoiled sooner or later.
Minning smiled and said a meaningful sentence, "If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow?"
Fourth master lighted wax for his two sons in his heart.
Among the two, it is Hong Kyung who really needs to be tempered, and Hong Shi is just running with him.
For Hong Kyung, both of them have great expectations, but he has been imprisoned by the two of them, he has not experienced wind and rain, and his body is inevitably a little naive.
As the chosen heir, the last thing you need is naivety.
**
It was dark in the room except for a single candle on the table.
Hong Shi gnawed on the steamed bun, looked at Hong Kyung without a glance, "Third brother, what should we do next?"
Holding the steamed bun in his hand, Hong Kyung couldn't eat it at all. His eyes were empty, and he stared at the flickering candle flame in a daze.
Hongshi didn't wait for him to answer, he took a big bite of the steamed bun before expressing his thoughts, "Third brother, I think it's better for us to report to the police, at least find out that pretending 'Little Liang' , Lie people dare to lie to us, it's like an old birthday star - I don't want to live anymore!" At the end, Hongshi gritted his teeth, he has never been deceived before in his age.
Right now, the breath in Hongshi's heart is like the steamed bun that is choking in his throat now, and he can't swallow it.
The dignified prince elder brother was cheated by someone, if it got out, how could they have the face to hang out in the capital?
In fact, Hongshi also knew that family ugliness should not be publicized, let alone reported to officials, and even rumors could not be spread.
Among the two, Hong Jing was the one who suffered the most. He was the proud son of heaven. He was not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was also excellent in everything.
Especially in the past two years, he was suddenly favored by the Supreme Emperor, and he was taken by his side to be educated. Now that Ama has become the emperor, although he has not made it clear, he is an invisible prince.
Even though he was showing humility on the surface, it was not that he was not proud of himself, but after he left the palace, he stripped off that halo, which knocked him to the bottom of the valley all at once.
Then he is also an ordinary person and will be deceived.
It was obviously just a simple game, but he was deceived because of greed.
Hong Kyung is not only ashamed, but also ashamed of the upbringing of Han Ama and Er Niang over the years. He has embarrassed Han Ama and Er Niang.
Hong Kyung didn't know how to eat, and his thoughts were as messy as a ball of wool. For the first time, he felt that he was not as good as he imagined. He even thought that the praise he received before might be because of his identity.
What made him even more sober is that Huang Mafana was only brought by his side because he was the son of Khan Ama, not because he was really outstanding among the royal grandsons.
The pride in his heart suddenly shattered like glass, Hong Kyung blushed as he thought about it, he was really ashamed.
Where did he come from for his self-confidence? He felt that Huang Mafa really valued him. He was Khan Ama's son before he was favored by Huang Mafa.
He even felt that if the younger brothers under him performed better than him, Huang Mafa might choose someone else.
"Third Brother, Third Brother? Did you hear what I said?" Hong Shi waved his hand in front of Hong Kyung while biting a steamed bun.
"What did you say?" Hong Kyung asked after recovering.
Hongshi took a sip of water and took the steamed bun down his throat, and then repeated what he said before, "Third brother, the 200 taels of silver can't be thrown away for nothing, why don't I find someone with that bastard's background to dig it out!"
Hong Kyung put the steamed buns aside, took a sip of water and asked him, "Who are you going to find?" After losing 200 taels of silver, he went back to eating steamed buns all of a sudden.
The two steamed buns were brought over from the canteen of the training ground at noon.
Probably because they found that many people would bring a portion with them for lunch, and the cafeteria has also learned to be smart, staring at one person after another, and not allowed to stay in the cafeteria after eating.
There was no way, the two brothers could only replace the rice with steamed buns, two for a meal, one for lunch, and then stuffed another steamed bun into their arms to bring back.
Hongshi moved his head closer and whispered, "Third brother, do you still remember Hongming?"
Hong Kyung frowned and asked, "Hong Ming from Uncle Fourteen's family?"
Hongshi nodded bluntly, "I heard before that Hongming's class will go to Hongshuikeng Park to play in the near future, but I don't know when it will be. Why don't we find a free time to sneak there and wait for the rabbit."
Hong Kyung shook his head, "You forgot that Khan Ama said that we are not allowed to seek help."
Hongshi became anxious all of a sudden, "Brother, that's 200 taels of silver, do you want to continue living this life of eating steamed buns? I just want Hong Ming to connect with other people, and then find someone to find the 200 taels of silver. Come back, it’s not like doing something harmful.”
Hong Jing still shook his head, "No, Er Niang said that we should keep our identities incognito. If we are exposed automatically, we will be considered a failure, and this job will not be our turn." This is a major political capital.
Neither of them wanted to give up in vain.
Hongshi was not discouraged and continued to persuade, "We are looking for someone secretly, it is impossible for An Erniang to stare at us all day."
Hong Kyung looked at him quietly, "Do you think this matter can be hidden from my mother-in-law?"
Hiroshi was immediately discouraged when he heard this.
He stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Hong Kyung looked at the table by the window, to be precise, at the small half bag of things exchanged at the corner of the table.
Hiroshi followed his line of sight, and instantly understood what he meant, "I know what you mean, continue to make kaleidoscopes, right?"
Hong Kyung nodded, besides this method, there is really no other good way.
This night, the two brothers continued to suffer from the previous torture.
There were a few more bloodstains on the right hand. Fortunately, with more experience than before, this time it was done much more smoothly, and the hand was not injured much in the end.
After spending one night, the brothers only made three.
Because there is no colored paper, what I made is only a semi-finished product.
The next day, the two did not delay and continued to make persistent efforts.
After Minning received the news, he asked people to pay attention to the movements of the two brothers, and put the matter aside.
Minning was naturally happy when she got the news that the two brothers were willing to do their own thing. What made her even more happy was that the two children did not do anything beyond their means, and they were able to recognize their own shortcomings, and did not take detours because of momentary anger.
Then she put this matter aside, and she and fourth master turned their attention to the officials who were arrested by Thirteen and Fourteen.
The fourth master was terrified when he saw it. In a Shandong province, so many people have been uprooted. They have been connected from top to bottom and rotted from the root. This is just a province, not to mention the other seventeen who have not yet found out the results. Province.
"Check it out! Check it out for me!" Fourth master put the book aside, knocked on the table and smiled instead of anger.
Su Peisheng on the side knew that the Lord Long Live was being pissed off, so he couldn't help turning his eyes to the inner room connected behind the curtain.
Minning came out after hearing the commotion, "What's the matter, such a big fire?"
Fourth Master said to Su Peisheng impatiently, "Show the brochure to the noble concubine soon."
Su Peisheng was taken aback, and impatiently took the booklet on the table and presented it to Minning.
Min Ning took it and took a quick glance, no wonder Fourth Master was so angry, the official circles in Shandong were all united, and those who were different from him were all repelled to the edge.
If Thirteen and Fourteen hadn't caught each other off guard this time, it might have been difficult to find these people out.
Seeing the end, Minning's eyes widened even more, "What? These people got the money that Prince Li robbed back then?" Prince Emotional Li took the blame for these people back then.
After the fourth master heard this, his face was even more icy, "This is just a trivial matter. These people kept it a secret. They not only fooled the second brother, but also fooled Ama Khan."
That sum of money was indeed lost in the Yellow River. Later, the second brother's people took the money to Shandong. As a result, the people in Shandong became more courageous and directly confiscated the money.
The second brother thought that the money was well hidden, but Han Ama found out that the money was taken away by the second brother, and even if he asked the second brother, he couldn't tell.
Because the part of the people sent by the second brother did not return to Beijing at all, and later the second brother also realized that something was wrong, and before he had time to send someone to investigate, he was dismissed by the Supreme Emperor impatiently.
The matter became a headless koan.
I didn't expect those people in Shandong officialdom to be so courageous that they dared to touch this batch of money!
Minning smiled, "Master, if you want to punish this group of people, I'll give you an idea."
Fourth master turned to look at her.
Minning put the booklet on the table, walked towards him and said, "Why don't you set up an anti-corruption yamen, the officials in this yamen usually have no rank, but as long as they handle cases, they are just senior officials. You can." Let the people report corrupt officials. Wherever there are corrupt officials, there will be anti-corruption yamen. Don’t do anything about the officialdom in Shandong, just select people to form an anti-corruption yamen. Let these people investigate and get evidence , deal with according to law."
When the fourth master heard her words, although he agreed in his heart, he shook his head and said, "The establishment of a new office is not as easy as the previous establishment of this unimportant administrative and publishing office. Who knows if this anti-corruption office will be rejected instead?" Pull into the water."
But Minning said: "There is such a thing that is always a warning. It is also a knife in the hands of the court. This knife is always on the heads of all officials. Although the anti-corruption bureau may be corrupted, as long as the superior The latter is an emperor as tough as you, so it may not be impossible to clean up the anti-corruption bureau and revitalize it again."
Seeing that the fourth master was a little moved, Minning continued: "Why don't we try it first, temporarily form an anti-corruption team, and use these people to hone the anti-corruption team. If the effect is good, we will continue to stay. If not Cancel it if you don’t like it.”
Fourth Master agreed with her proposal, "Okay, just do as you said."
Su Peisheng in the room didn't even dare to move, especially when he heard the two masters discussing state affairs, he wished he was dead at this time.
Long Live Lord didn't blame Concubine An for meddling in politics, and even discussed politics with her. Su Peisheng only felt his scalp tingling, thinking that he knew too much and would be killed one day.
"Then who do you think will be in charge of the anti-corruption team?" Fourth Master pulled her aside and sat down.
Minning replied: "Anyway, it's just such a temporary group, and whoever is in charge is only temporary. I think it's better to let Prince Li handle this matter. Anyway, it will take a year or two to go to the West, so let's let it go for the time being." He's in charge of it."
For fourth master, this is definitely a stunning proposal.
The group of officials in Shandong secretly took away the money from the salt tax, and instead let the second brother be abolished for the second time. If the second brother knew about this, he would never spare these people.
In this way, they will definitely be able to dig out the old background of these people, and the candidate for the leader of the anti-corruption team is indeed the second brother.
In Changchun Garden, Prince Li's family was staying safely in a small courtyard.
After being removed from the palace, Prince Li thought he was just being imprisoned in another place, but he didn't expect that the fourth child really removed everyone.
Prince Li's current residence is exactly the residence in the Changchun Garden when he was the crown prince. It can be said that it has not changed at all, and it is even much larger than the palace.
At least in the garden, the women and children in the back house can live comfortably, and there will be less quarrels if they live together.
Ever since the fourth child said that he wanted to arrange for him to go to a place where foreigners lived, Prince Li had people collect a lot of Western books, and even had close contacts with some foreign priests, just to find out about the customs and habits of foreigners.
It is still a secret that Prince Li is about to be dispatched to the West.
Seeing that the fourth child didn't show his tone, Prince Li naturally didn't say anything.
However, after Prince Li, the deposed prince, was released, people would naturally pay attention to him, so when he came into contact with foreigners, some people had to speculate whether he had evil intentions.
Some people even arranged for some unwarranted charges to be reported, that is, to fight for the position in front of the new emperor.
These papers were rejected by the cabinet before they reached fourth master.
Maybe other people don't know, but the cabinet and the emperor gave them permission in advance.
If these unwarranted excerpts are really passed on, not only will they lose face, but if they offend the emperor, they will also suffer.
It's not that Prince Li didn't hear all kinds of news, but every time he heard it, he didn't take it to heart.
It makes people who don't know why even more confused.
On this day, Prince Li was reading in the yard as usual, and the books he read were all in Latin. You have learned Western languages sometimes, but it was just to show off in front of the Supreme Emperor.
I haven't used it much in recent years, and I have forgotten most of it.
This time I finally have time to pick up this language. Fortunately, I have a lot of foundation, and it is not so difficult to recover.
There was noise outside, and soon the personal eunuch next to Prince Li ran in from outside.
"Master, the imperial decree has arrived from outside!"
As soon as Prince Li heard the imperial edict, he reprimanded him, "Why are you panicking? Why don't you follow me to receive the imperial edict."
As he spoke, he covered the book on the table, stood up and tidied his clothes with the help of the eunuch before striding out of the courtyard.
Prince Li's residence in Changchun Garden is a large courtyard surrounded by small courtyards.
So to go to the outermost courtyard, there is a distance.Fortunately, in today's Changchun Garden, as long as this path is paved with concrete, walking is fast and convenient.
The person who preached the imperial decree was an official of the Ministry of Officials, so Prince Li knew that there was something important.
Otherwise, ordinary imperial decrees can be passed on by eunuchs, and even some matters do not even require imperial edicts, as long as an oral order is passed on.
A total of three people came from the official department.
Among these few people, Prince Li only knew one person, that is Yu Tingyi, whose father was Yu Chenglong, and Yu Chenglong was once the Prince Taibao.
It's just a pity that he passed away 30 years ago and couldn't be used by him.
Yu Tingyi is the only official among all of Jackie Chan's sons. Unfortunately, although he is worthy of being a father, he is not as successful as Jackie Chan. Education in one province.
This is a clean and honest official position. Yu Tingyi lived up to his father's legacy. When he was an official, he also practiced frugality and clean hands.
Prince Li had tried to win him over before, but it was a pity that this man was as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine, shameless, he was thrown outside and not allowed to return to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, the fourth child actually fished this man out of a mess, and looking at the patch on his official uniform, he should be promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
Xuezheng has no rank, but generally speaking, he can sit on an equal footing with a governor of a province. If he is transferred to the imperial court, he can be said to be demoted as a minister of officials.
But the Ministry of Officials is the department in charge of the promotion of officials all over the country. The power here is very powerful. After being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it can be called Gao Sheng.
This glaring is bright and dark rising.
The prince looked at the other two people again. These two people looked very strange, and they should have been promoted from other places in the past two years.
"Prince Li, please accept the order." Yu Tingyi said sternly.
He is older than Prince Li, he is almost [-] this year, and he will be able to retire in a few years, if not for persuading him wholeheartedly this time, Yu Tingyi would not be able to act.
Prince Li smiled kindly, then knelt down, "I accept the order."
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Today..., I am very worried. I want Prince Yinfeng to set up an anti-corruption team to search for corrupt officials. Anyone who resists can be executed at his own discretion. I respect this."
Prince Li was still a little confused after hearing the imperial decree, didn't he tell him to prepare to go to the West?Why did you give him another anti-corruption mission?
"Prince Li, please accept the order!" Seeing that Prince Li's place did not move, an official from the Ministry of Officials hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.
Prince Li reacted and said quickly, "I accept the order." As he spoke, he took the imperial order respectfully with both hands in the morning.
After they woke up, Prince Li was still in a bit of confusion, holding the imperial decree and asked Yu Tingyi, "My lord, do you know what is the jurisdiction of this anti-corruption team?"
Yu Tingyi took out a letter from his bosom, "Prince Li, this is from the Lord Long Live to you. The Lord Long Live told you to do what the letter said. As for the minister, he was dispatched to fight against corruption." The team will assist you in setting up the anti-corruption team first."
Prince Li took the letter, and those who didn't come saw Yu Tingyi and the others and offered to leave.
Prince Li didn't stop them, after they left, Wang threw the imperial decree into the arms of the personal eunuch, and went into the yard with the letter.
The accompanying eunuch took the imperial edict in a hurry. If this thing falls on the ground and sleeps in the room, he will lose his head.
"Master, wait for the slave!" The little eunuch followed the imperial edict.
"Master, I heard that there is an imperial decree coming?" After two serious illnesses, Guarjia's health has not been very good in the past two years. It was only after she came to Changchun Garden that she felt relieved, but even so, her face There is still no blood color, even a little yellowish.
However, compared to Prince Li who has already had a few white hairs on her head, Guarjia looks younger, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the forehead lines on her head all tell people that she is already young. Again.
Prince Li turned his head and looked at the accompanying eunuch, and he quickly raised his hand to present the imperial edict in front of Prince Li.
Prince Li kicked the accompanying eunuch, and casually told him to order the imperial edict to put it away.
Then he turned his head and said to Guarjia, "The fourth brother arranged an errand for me. You are not in good health, so you should rest in peace and not worry about it."
Guerjia coughed, and said: "Master, the fourth brother has become the emperor now, you can no longer call him like this casually." It was his child who was the last one to get unlucky.
The Guerjia family has experienced her husband's two wastes and two conflicts. The biggest blow to her is that the crown princess's book was taken back.
Now the battle for the reserve has come to an end, and the final winner is the Fourth Prince.
Judging from the current situation, the new emperor is not intolerant. She only hopes that her husband and those bastards will stop having delusions and take care of the family to live a peaceful life.
Prince Li waved his hand, "Don't worry, I know what's going on." After speaking, he turned around and walked into his yard.
Guarjia's sickly face showed a worried look. It's not like she didn't notice that her concubine had changed frequently during this period of time. Unfortunately, she was unable to stop it, and her husband didn't care. He just hoped that he would seek death by himself. implicate others.
After Prince Li returned to the courtyard, he quickly opened the letter.
Seeing what was said in the letter, his face was very gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could bite into a piece of flesh from the names in the letter.
How dare they?How dare?
That's right, these slaves have already done this, how could they not dare?
In the end, he lifted the table resentfully, and there was a crackling sound in the room, and the eunuch outside the door was frightened, but Prince Li had already said that he was not allowed to come in, so the eunuch could only listen to the movement inside, for fear that the master inside would be hurt .
"Come here!" Prince Li looked at the chaos in the room after venting, and then shouted out.
The eunuch couldn't wait to push open the door and go in.
Holding the letter, Prince Li pointed to the mess in the room and said, "Send someone to clean up the room."
The eunuch hurriedly agreed.
Prince Li changed another room before continuing to read the rest of the letter.
The rest of the content is to introduce what needs to be done to fight corruption. Prince Li heaved a sigh of relief, the fourth child is really generous, to give him such a heavy authority.
The last sentence of the imperial decree was to give him a Shangfang sword.
Make him the leader of the anti-corruption team, and let him arrange the others except Yu Tingyi.
This is clearly to let him form his own power, another meaning is probably to find out if there is anyone in his hands?
But even if this is a game, Prince Li still wants to jump.
The fourth child just gave him a chance to take revenge with his own hands, and wanting to take out the rest of the forces is nothing but revenge.
What's more, most of the people in his hands have already taken refuge with the eighth man, even if it doesn't matter if they hand over these people to the fourth man, it's not a good thing anyway.
After all, Prince Li was a prince who was once in charge of state affairs. He dealt with matters quickly and accurately, which can be said to be more decisive than fourth master who became emperor halfway through.
Fourth master naturally followed Prince Li's every move, especially when he found out that several of the old eighth had been transferred to the anti-corruption team, he even showed a satisfied smile.
I didn't expect that Lao Ba's side was also covered with sand. These people were from Lao Ba on the surface, but they turned out to be second brother's people in private.
That's right, the second brother has been a prince for more than 40 years, and there are always some loyal people under his command. Even though the old eight is able to recruit these people, his heart is still towards the old master.
Thinking that Lao Ba had suffered such a big loss, fourth master happily ate an extra bowl of rice.
Prince Li's method can be said to be vigorous and resolute, and he has no intention of hiding it from others. He set up an anti-corruption bureau in an open and honest manner, and pointed his sword at all corrupt officials.
On this day, Hongxi hurriedly came to Changchun Garden to ask to see Prince Li.
However, Prince Li was leading people to discuss matters, so naturally he had no time to see him.
After the matter was over, Prince Li took the time to come.
"Tell me, what's the purpose of coming to me in such a hurry?" Prince Li glanced at his son and asked.
Hong Xi is already 20 years old, and the abolition of Prince Li didn't affect him earlier, and even arranged a mansion outside the palace for him. Compared with the other sons around Prince Li, he can be said to be very lucky.
Now that he has married, he has already opened another mansion outside.
After Prince Li came out, he didn't let Hong Xi move to Changchun Garden with him. Although he is the eldest son, he already has his own mansion, so it's not a big deal to move here to live together.
After the fourth master came to the throne, Hong Xi was crowned as the county king, and he was able to truly become independent.
It's not that Prince Li didn't know Hongxi's little thought, but he didn't take it to heart. Compared with the previous years, Hongxi's little thought couldn't be hidden from others. He didn't think Hongxi could beat the fourth child, so he just looked at it coldly. Let him suffer, only after suffering can let go of the delusions in his heart.
Seeing that Ama didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, Hongxi asked anxiously, "Ama, you transferred your master to the anti-corruption team, why didn't you tell me?"
The master Hongxi was talking about was originally a teacher that the prince had found for him in private. Even after being recruited by the eighth master, this one is still flourishing.
Perhaps even Ba Ye would not have imagined that this person was actually a nail placed by the crown prince, and he had promoted this person several times.
Hongxi secretly contacted many people through his master and gained a lot of benefits.
However, what I didn't expect was that at this moment, my own Ama directly lifted that layer of relationship, spread it out in the sun, and exposed everything in the past, which made Hong Xi dumbfounded all of a sudden.
He secretly dug the corners of several uncles, and now all of them were exposed by surprise, but the one who wanted to cry without tears was the one who tricked him or himself, Ama!
These are still trivial matters. Looking at the people in the anti-corruption team, they are all Ama's most loyal people. Only the remaining foundations have been exposed. What else can be left for him?Hong Xi Ke hurried over to ask.
Prince Li sniffed the tea and drank it by himself, "When do I need to report to you?" This Dahongpao is now fired for a thousand dollars in the capital, and there is still a price but no market. I didn't expect the fourth child to be generous. Zi gave him two taels.
It is said that less than one catty is produced in a year.
Hongxi noticed that Ama's attitude was a little cold, and while looking at Ama's face, he said cautiously: "Of course my son didn't mean that..." Since Ama didn't take this matter to heart, could it be that there are other arrangements in private?
Hong Xi guessed that there was another group of people in Ama's hand, otherwise why would he just show the bottom of the card in his hand without paying attention at all.
Prince Li put down the tea bowl, "I don't need to discuss with you what I do, these people are mine, and I have my own opinion on how to deal with them."
Hong Xi hit a snag all of a sudden, feeling a little resentful, "...that son has stepped down."
"Wait." As soon as Hongxi turned his head, he heard Ama shout. He turned his head happily, and heard Ama say, "Your mother is not feeling well these days. Since you are here, please Go and have a look."
Hongxi's heart skipped a beat, no wonder Ama treated him badly, it turned out that Erniang was ill.
And he, the son, didn't even know it!
Presumably in Ama's opinion, his son is not qualified at all, no wonder his tone is so cold.
Hong Xi suffered a sudden loss, he didn't even know about Er Niang's illness, and no one in the garden informed him.
But it is impossible not to inform him of Er Niang's illness, which means something went wrong. Hong Xi kept this matter in mind, could it be that his younger brothers were playing tricks?
No matter what Hong Xi thinks in his heart, he is determined to suffer from this boring loss.
No matter what he thought in his heart, after Ama waved his hand, he could only retreat depressedly.
Next, before Fourteen personally escorted them to Beijing, Prince Li led the rest of the anti-corruption team to Shandong to investigate the details of those officials.
If he eats something from him, he has to spit it out. Prince Li's heart is burning now, and in the future, this fire will burn throughout the officialdom in Shandong.
It took five days and finally made forty or fifty kaleidoscopes.
Both Hong Kyung and Hong Shi took a breath, and then sat together to discuss what price this thing should be sold for.
"Five taels of silver is very suitable." Hongshi set the price without being polite at all.
This is a kaleidoscope made by the dignified prince. With this price alone, 500 taels of silver is not a loss!
Thinking that he still concealed his identity now, Hongshi lowered the price again and again, and finally dropped it to five taels of silver.
It can be said that this is a big sale at a loss.
Hong Jing quickly shook his head, "Is the price too high? If you want so much money all at once, who would buy it?" It wasn't inlaid with gold and jade, but two pieces of round glass were placed on a bamboo joint. It is made of patterned paper and wrapped with a layer outside.It's not worth much at all except for the fact that it's done by hand.
Hong Shi suddenly asked for five taels of silver, which frightened Hong Kyung.
He is not a novice now, so he naturally knows the spending power of five taels of silver. An ordinary man of middle age can earn five taels of silver in a month.
Hongshi took out his bag and packed kaleidoscopes of various colors, and then said to Hongkyung, "Third brother, other than us, the group of children's colleges have seen this thing before. Don't underestimate the purchasing power of this outer city. Most of them are wealthy families, and five taels of silver is nothing to some people."
Hong Kyung was persuaded by him, and helped him pack Waifa Jin into his bag, "Then where do you think we will sell it?"
Hongshi carried the bag, forty or fifty were not too heavy, and after pulling the bag well, he replied: "I have already thought about it, let's go to Hongshuikeng Park to sell it, where is the money and leisure?" There are a lot of people.” Anyway, they can’t sell it here where they live now, and the people living here are ordinary people, who wish to break a penny in half, so how could they spend five taels of silver on an impractical toy?
Hongkyung still has some impressions of Hongshuikeng Park. He and Er Niang went to play together a few years ago. It is indeed very bustling and sells all kinds of toys. It is indeed a paradise for children.
"Okay, third brother, then you can follow what I said, and you can make money." Hongshi patted his chest confidently.
He is a person who has seen the world, selling things, what a joke!
Hong Jing felt that he was not optimistic, but he didn't pour cold water on him, and then he seemed to think of something and asked, "Didn't you say that Hong Ming and the others are going to visit the Red Water Hole? What if we meet them and recognize us?"
Hongshi choked up immediately, and then waved his hand quickly, "Don't worry, it's been a few days, maybe Hongming and the others have already visited. If you really want to worry, then let's cover it up tomorrow. He won't recognize us!"
Minning and Fourth Master looked at the 200 taels of silver on the table together, and then looked at the kneeling person below.
This person is the "Xiao Liang" that Hong Kyung and the others couldn't find everywhere. At this time, "Xiao Liang" has lost all his sternness. If he appears in front of Hong Kyung and the others again, maybe they have to wonder whether they have admitted the wrong person up.
This "Little Liang" was none other than Si Ye's sticky stick who specially arranged to enter the training ground to protect Hong Kyung and Hong Shi.
It was only after being used by Min Ning for a while that he became a liar, and directly cheated Hong Kyung's 200 taels back.
Fourth Master pointed to the 200 taels of silver, "Take it to the bank and redeem that jade pendant." Where did the silver come from and where does it go?As for the bills, fourth master's words are golden words, do you still need bills?
"Little Liang" responded quickly.
Minning added, "After the two second elder brothers arrange to enter the bank, I will return all the silver to the owner." Although he made a trap and got the 200 taels of silver out of his son's hands, the innocent man You can't take your money, and you're not a real liar.
"Xiao Liang" quickly replied: "If you go back to your mother, the money belongs to the brothers, and it was returned yesterday."
Minning immediately glanced at the fourth master, and the people around his affectionate son were all sticky.
The fourth master rubbed his nose, the two sons were thrown outside, he was naturally worried, and had to arrange for someone to protect the two sons.
The task of these people is to train with the two little masters during the day, and distribute around the little masters at night to protect their safety.
Minning didn't care too much about this matter, and then she realized that the people at the sticky pole were all very good at acting.
Even Hong Kyung and Hong Shi, two clever little tricksters, were fooled.
"That's fine, each person will receive another 100 taels later, and the two little guys will be handed over to you."
"Little Liang" thanked you.
After the others retreated, Fourth Master turned to her and asked, "What the hell are you thinking?" He felt that if the two sons were handed over to An Jia, they would be spoiled sooner or later.
Minning smiled and said a meaningful sentence, "If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow?"
Fourth master lighted wax for his two sons in his heart.
Among the two, it is Hong Kyung who really needs to be tempered, and Hong Shi is just running with him.
For Hong Kyung, both of them have great expectations, but he has been imprisoned by the two of them, he has not experienced wind and rain, and his body is inevitably a little naive.
As the chosen heir, the last thing you need is naivety.
**
It was dark in the room except for a single candle on the table.
Hong Shi gnawed on the steamed bun, looked at Hong Kyung without a glance, "Third brother, what should we do next?"
Holding the steamed bun in his hand, Hong Kyung couldn't eat it at all. His eyes were empty, and he stared at the flickering candle flame in a daze.
Hongshi didn't wait for him to answer, he took a big bite of the steamed bun before expressing his thoughts, "Third brother, I think it's better for us to report to the police, at least find out that pretending 'Little Liang' , Lie people dare to lie to us, it's like an old birthday star - I don't want to live anymore!" At the end, Hongshi gritted his teeth, he has never been deceived before in his age.
Right now, the breath in Hongshi's heart is like the steamed bun that is choking in his throat now, and he can't swallow it.
The dignified prince elder brother was cheated by someone, if it got out, how could they have the face to hang out in the capital?
In fact, Hongshi also knew that family ugliness should not be publicized, let alone reported to officials, and even rumors could not be spread.
Among the two, Hong Jing was the one who suffered the most. He was the proud son of heaven. He was not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was also excellent in everything.
Especially in the past two years, he was suddenly favored by the Supreme Emperor, and he was taken by his side to be educated. Now that Ama has become the emperor, although he has not made it clear, he is an invisible prince.
Even though he was showing humility on the surface, it was not that he was not proud of himself, but after he left the palace, he stripped off that halo, which knocked him to the bottom of the valley all at once.
Then he is also an ordinary person and will be deceived.
It was obviously just a simple game, but he was deceived because of greed.
Hong Kyung is not only ashamed, but also ashamed of the upbringing of Han Ama and Er Niang over the years. He has embarrassed Han Ama and Er Niang.
Hong Kyung didn't know how to eat, and his thoughts were as messy as a ball of wool. For the first time, he felt that he was not as good as he imagined. He even thought that the praise he received before might be because of his identity.
What made him even more sober is that Huang Mafana was only brought by his side because he was the son of Khan Ama, not because he was really outstanding among the royal grandsons.
The pride in his heart suddenly shattered like glass, Hong Kyung blushed as he thought about it, he was really ashamed.
Where did he come from for his self-confidence? He felt that Huang Mafa really valued him. He was Khan Ama's son before he was favored by Huang Mafa.
He even felt that if the younger brothers under him performed better than him, Huang Mafa might choose someone else.
"Third Brother, Third Brother? Did you hear what I said?" Hong Shi waved his hand in front of Hong Kyung while biting a steamed bun.
"What did you say?" Hong Kyung asked after recovering.
Hongshi took a sip of water and took the steamed bun down his throat, and then repeated what he said before, "Third brother, the 200 taels of silver can't be thrown away for nothing, why don't I find someone with that bastard's background to dig it out!"
Hong Kyung put the steamed buns aside, took a sip of water and asked him, "Who are you going to find?" After losing 200 taels of silver, he went back to eating steamed buns all of a sudden.
The two steamed buns were brought over from the canteen of the training ground at noon.
Probably because they found that many people would bring a portion with them for lunch, and the cafeteria has also learned to be smart, staring at one person after another, and not allowed to stay in the cafeteria after eating.
There was no way, the two brothers could only replace the rice with steamed buns, two for a meal, one for lunch, and then stuffed another steamed bun into their arms to bring back.
Hongshi moved his head closer and whispered, "Third brother, do you still remember Hongming?"
Hong Kyung frowned and asked, "Hong Ming from Uncle Fourteen's family?"
Hongshi nodded bluntly, "I heard before that Hongming's class will go to Hongshuikeng Park to play in the near future, but I don't know when it will be. Why don't we find a free time to sneak there and wait for the rabbit."
Hong Kyung shook his head, "You forgot that Khan Ama said that we are not allowed to seek help."
Hongshi became anxious all of a sudden, "Brother, that's 200 taels of silver, do you want to continue living this life of eating steamed buns? I just want Hong Ming to connect with other people, and then find someone to find the 200 taels of silver. Come back, it’s not like doing something harmful.”
Hong Jing still shook his head, "No, Er Niang said that we should keep our identities incognito. If we are exposed automatically, we will be considered a failure, and this job will not be our turn." This is a major political capital.
Neither of them wanted to give up in vain.
Hongshi was not discouraged and continued to persuade, "We are looking for someone secretly, it is impossible for An Erniang to stare at us all day."
Hong Kyung looked at him quietly, "Do you think this matter can be hidden from my mother-in-law?"
Hiroshi was immediately discouraged when he heard this.
He stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Hong Kyung looked at the table by the window, to be precise, at the small half bag of things exchanged at the corner of the table.
Hiroshi followed his line of sight, and instantly understood what he meant, "I know what you mean, continue to make kaleidoscopes, right?"
Hong Kyung nodded, besides this method, there is really no other good way.
This night, the two brothers continued to suffer from the previous torture.
There were a few more bloodstains on the right hand. Fortunately, with more experience than before, this time it was done much more smoothly, and the hand was not injured much in the end.
After spending one night, the brothers only made three.
Because there is no colored paper, what I made is only a semi-finished product.
The next day, the two did not delay and continued to make persistent efforts.
After Minning received the news, he asked people to pay attention to the movements of the two brothers, and put the matter aside.
Minning was naturally happy when she got the news that the two brothers were willing to do their own thing. What made her even more happy was that the two children did not do anything beyond their means, and they were able to recognize their own shortcomings, and did not take detours because of momentary anger.
Then she put this matter aside, and she and fourth master turned their attention to the officials who were arrested by Thirteen and Fourteen.
The fourth master was terrified when he saw it. In a Shandong province, so many people have been uprooted. They have been connected from top to bottom and rotted from the root. This is just a province, not to mention the other seventeen who have not yet found out the results. Province.
"Check it out! Check it out for me!" Fourth master put the book aside, knocked on the table and smiled instead of anger.
Su Peisheng on the side knew that the Lord Long Live was being pissed off, so he couldn't help turning his eyes to the inner room connected behind the curtain.
Minning came out after hearing the commotion, "What's the matter, such a big fire?"
Fourth Master said to Su Peisheng impatiently, "Show the brochure to the noble concubine soon."
Su Peisheng was taken aback, and impatiently took the booklet on the table and presented it to Minning.
Min Ning took it and took a quick glance, no wonder Fourth Master was so angry, the official circles in Shandong were all united, and those who were different from him were all repelled to the edge.
If Thirteen and Fourteen hadn't caught each other off guard this time, it might have been difficult to find these people out.
Seeing the end, Minning's eyes widened even more, "What? These people got the money that Prince Li robbed back then?" Prince Emotional Li took the blame for these people back then.
After the fourth master heard this, his face was even more icy, "This is just a trivial matter. These people kept it a secret. They not only fooled the second brother, but also fooled Ama Khan."
That sum of money was indeed lost in the Yellow River. Later, the second brother's people took the money to Shandong. As a result, the people in Shandong became more courageous and directly confiscated the money.
The second brother thought that the money was well hidden, but Han Ama found out that the money was taken away by the second brother, and even if he asked the second brother, he couldn't tell.
Because the part of the people sent by the second brother did not return to Beijing at all, and later the second brother also realized that something was wrong, and before he had time to send someone to investigate, he was dismissed by the Supreme Emperor impatiently.
The matter became a headless koan.
I didn't expect those people in Shandong officialdom to be so courageous that they dared to touch this batch of money!
Minning smiled, "Master, if you want to punish this group of people, I'll give you an idea."
Fourth master turned to look at her.
Minning put the booklet on the table, walked towards him and said, "Why don't you set up an anti-corruption yamen, the officials in this yamen usually have no rank, but as long as they handle cases, they are just senior officials. You can." Let the people report corrupt officials. Wherever there are corrupt officials, there will be anti-corruption yamen. Don’t do anything about the officialdom in Shandong, just select people to form an anti-corruption yamen. Let these people investigate and get evidence , deal with according to law."
When the fourth master heard her words, although he agreed in his heart, he shook his head and said, "The establishment of a new office is not as easy as the previous establishment of this unimportant administrative and publishing office. Who knows if this anti-corruption office will be rejected instead?" Pull into the water."
But Minning said: "There is such a thing that is always a warning. It is also a knife in the hands of the court. This knife is always on the heads of all officials. Although the anti-corruption bureau may be corrupted, as long as the superior The latter is an emperor as tough as you, so it may not be impossible to clean up the anti-corruption bureau and revitalize it again."
Seeing that the fourth master was a little moved, Minning continued: "Why don't we try it first, temporarily form an anti-corruption team, and use these people to hone the anti-corruption team. If the effect is good, we will continue to stay. If not Cancel it if you don’t like it.”
Fourth Master agreed with her proposal, "Okay, just do as you said."
Su Peisheng in the room didn't even dare to move, especially when he heard the two masters discussing state affairs, he wished he was dead at this time.
Long Live Lord didn't blame Concubine An for meddling in politics, and even discussed politics with her. Su Peisheng only felt his scalp tingling, thinking that he knew too much and would be killed one day.
"Then who do you think will be in charge of the anti-corruption team?" Fourth Master pulled her aside and sat down.
Minning replied: "Anyway, it's just such a temporary group, and whoever is in charge is only temporary. I think it's better to let Prince Li handle this matter. Anyway, it will take a year or two to go to the West, so let's let it go for the time being." He's in charge of it."
For fourth master, this is definitely a stunning proposal.
The group of officials in Shandong secretly took away the money from the salt tax, and instead let the second brother be abolished for the second time. If the second brother knew about this, he would never spare these people.
In this way, they will definitely be able to dig out the old background of these people, and the candidate for the leader of the anti-corruption team is indeed the second brother.
In Changchun Garden, Prince Li's family was staying safely in a small courtyard.
After being removed from the palace, Prince Li thought he was just being imprisoned in another place, but he didn't expect that the fourth child really removed everyone.
Prince Li's current residence is exactly the residence in the Changchun Garden when he was the crown prince. It can be said that it has not changed at all, and it is even much larger than the palace.
At least in the garden, the women and children in the back house can live comfortably, and there will be less quarrels if they live together.
Ever since the fourth child said that he wanted to arrange for him to go to a place where foreigners lived, Prince Li had people collect a lot of Western books, and even had close contacts with some foreign priests, just to find out about the customs and habits of foreigners.
It is still a secret that Prince Li is about to be dispatched to the West.
Seeing that the fourth child didn't show his tone, Prince Li naturally didn't say anything.
However, after Prince Li, the deposed prince, was released, people would naturally pay attention to him, so when he came into contact with foreigners, some people had to speculate whether he had evil intentions.
Some people even arranged for some unwarranted charges to be reported, that is, to fight for the position in front of the new emperor.
These papers were rejected by the cabinet before they reached fourth master.
Maybe other people don't know, but the cabinet and the emperor gave them permission in advance.
If these unwarranted excerpts are really passed on, not only will they lose face, but if they offend the emperor, they will also suffer.
It's not that Prince Li didn't hear all kinds of news, but every time he heard it, he didn't take it to heart.
It makes people who don't know why even more confused.
On this day, Prince Li was reading in the yard as usual, and the books he read were all in Latin. You have learned Western languages sometimes, but it was just to show off in front of the Supreme Emperor.
I haven't used it much in recent years, and I have forgotten most of it.
This time I finally have time to pick up this language. Fortunately, I have a lot of foundation, and it is not so difficult to recover.
There was noise outside, and soon the personal eunuch next to Prince Li ran in from outside.
"Master, the imperial decree has arrived from outside!"
As soon as Prince Li heard the imperial edict, he reprimanded him, "Why are you panicking? Why don't you follow me to receive the imperial edict."
As he spoke, he covered the book on the table, stood up and tidied his clothes with the help of the eunuch before striding out of the courtyard.
Prince Li's residence in Changchun Garden is a large courtyard surrounded by small courtyards.
So to go to the outermost courtyard, there is a distance.Fortunately, in today's Changchun Garden, as long as this path is paved with concrete, walking is fast and convenient.
The person who preached the imperial decree was an official of the Ministry of Officials, so Prince Li knew that there was something important.
Otherwise, ordinary imperial decrees can be passed on by eunuchs, and even some matters do not even require imperial edicts, as long as an oral order is passed on.
A total of three people came from the official department.
Among these few people, Prince Li only knew one person, that is Yu Tingyi, whose father was Yu Chenglong, and Yu Chenglong was once the Prince Taibao.
It's just a pity that he passed away 30 years ago and couldn't be used by him.
Yu Tingyi is the only official among all of Jackie Chan's sons. Unfortunately, although he is worthy of being a father, he is not as successful as Jackie Chan. Education in one province.
This is a clean and honest official position. Yu Tingyi lived up to his father's legacy. When he was an official, he also practiced frugality and clean hands.
Prince Li had tried to win him over before, but it was a pity that this man was as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine, shameless, he was thrown outside and not allowed to return to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, the fourth child actually fished this man out of a mess, and looking at the patch on his official uniform, he should be promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
Xuezheng has no rank, but generally speaking, he can sit on an equal footing with a governor of a province. If he is transferred to the imperial court, he can be said to be demoted as a minister of officials.
But the Ministry of Officials is the department in charge of the promotion of officials all over the country. The power here is very powerful. After being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it can be called Gao Sheng.
This glaring is bright and dark rising.
The prince looked at the other two people again. These two people looked very strange, and they should have been promoted from other places in the past two years.
"Prince Li, please accept the order." Yu Tingyi said sternly.
He is older than Prince Li, he is almost [-] this year, and he will be able to retire in a few years, if not for persuading him wholeheartedly this time, Yu Tingyi would not be able to act.
Prince Li smiled kindly, then knelt down, "I accept the order."
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Today..., I am very worried. I want Prince Yinfeng to set up an anti-corruption team to search for corrupt officials. Anyone who resists can be executed at his own discretion. I respect this."
Prince Li was still a little confused after hearing the imperial decree, didn't he tell him to prepare to go to the West?Why did you give him another anti-corruption mission?
"Prince Li, please accept the order!" Seeing that Prince Li's place did not move, an official from the Ministry of Officials hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.
Prince Li reacted and said quickly, "I accept the order." As he spoke, he took the imperial order respectfully with both hands in the morning.
After they woke up, Prince Li was still in a bit of confusion, holding the imperial decree and asked Yu Tingyi, "My lord, do you know what is the jurisdiction of this anti-corruption team?"
Yu Tingyi took out a letter from his bosom, "Prince Li, this is from the Lord Long Live to you. The Lord Long Live told you to do what the letter said. As for the minister, he was dispatched to fight against corruption." The team will assist you in setting up the anti-corruption team first."
Prince Li took the letter, and those who didn't come saw Yu Tingyi and the others and offered to leave.
Prince Li didn't stop them, after they left, Wang threw the imperial decree into the arms of the personal eunuch, and went into the yard with the letter.
The accompanying eunuch took the imperial edict in a hurry. If this thing falls on the ground and sleeps in the room, he will lose his head.
"Master, wait for the slave!" The little eunuch followed the imperial edict.
"Master, I heard that there is an imperial decree coming?" After two serious illnesses, Guarjia's health has not been very good in the past two years. It was only after she came to Changchun Garden that she felt relieved, but even so, her face There is still no blood color, even a little yellowish.
However, compared to Prince Li who has already had a few white hairs on her head, Guarjia looks younger, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the forehead lines on her head all tell people that she is already young. Again.
Prince Li turned his head and looked at the accompanying eunuch, and he quickly raised his hand to present the imperial edict in front of Prince Li.
Prince Li kicked the accompanying eunuch, and casually told him to order the imperial edict to put it away.
Then he turned his head and said to Guarjia, "The fourth brother arranged an errand for me. You are not in good health, so you should rest in peace and not worry about it."
Guerjia coughed, and said: "Master, the fourth brother has become the emperor now, you can no longer call him like this casually." It was his child who was the last one to get unlucky.
The Guerjia family has experienced her husband's two wastes and two conflicts. The biggest blow to her is that the crown princess's book was taken back.
Now the battle for the reserve has come to an end, and the final winner is the Fourth Prince.
Judging from the current situation, the new emperor is not intolerant. She only hopes that her husband and those bastards will stop having delusions and take care of the family to live a peaceful life.
Prince Li waved his hand, "Don't worry, I know what's going on." After speaking, he turned around and walked into his yard.
Guarjia's sickly face showed a worried look. It's not like she didn't notice that her concubine had changed frequently during this period of time. Unfortunately, she was unable to stop it, and her husband didn't care. He just hoped that he would seek death by himself. implicate others.
After Prince Li returned to the courtyard, he quickly opened the letter.
Seeing what was said in the letter, his face was very gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could bite into a piece of flesh from the names in the letter.
How dare they?How dare?
That's right, these slaves have already done this, how could they not dare?
In the end, he lifted the table resentfully, and there was a crackling sound in the room, and the eunuch outside the door was frightened, but Prince Li had already said that he was not allowed to come in, so the eunuch could only listen to the movement inside, for fear that the master inside would be hurt .
"Come here!" Prince Li looked at the chaos in the room after venting, and then shouted out.
The eunuch couldn't wait to push open the door and go in.
Holding the letter, Prince Li pointed to the mess in the room and said, "Send someone to clean up the room."
The eunuch hurriedly agreed.
Prince Li changed another room before continuing to read the rest of the letter.
The rest of the content is to introduce what needs to be done to fight corruption. Prince Li heaved a sigh of relief, the fourth child is really generous, to give him such a heavy authority.
The last sentence of the imperial decree was to give him a Shangfang sword.
Make him the leader of the anti-corruption team, and let him arrange the others except Yu Tingyi.
This is clearly to let him form his own power, another meaning is probably to find out if there is anyone in his hands?
But even if this is a game, Prince Li still wants to jump.
The fourth child just gave him a chance to take revenge with his own hands, and wanting to take out the rest of the forces is nothing but revenge.
What's more, most of the people in his hands have already taken refuge with the eighth man, even if it doesn't matter if they hand over these people to the fourth man, it's not a good thing anyway.
After all, Prince Li was a prince who was once in charge of state affairs. He dealt with matters quickly and accurately, which can be said to be more decisive than fourth master who became emperor halfway through.
Fourth master naturally followed Prince Li's every move, especially when he found out that several of the old eighth had been transferred to the anti-corruption team, he even showed a satisfied smile.
I didn't expect that Lao Ba's side was also covered with sand. These people were from Lao Ba on the surface, but they turned out to be second brother's people in private.
That's right, the second brother has been a prince for more than 40 years, and there are always some loyal people under his command. Even though the old eight is able to recruit these people, his heart is still towards the old master.
Thinking that Lao Ba had suffered such a big loss, fourth master happily ate an extra bowl of rice.
Prince Li's method can be said to be vigorous and resolute, and he has no intention of hiding it from others. He set up an anti-corruption bureau in an open and honest manner, and pointed his sword at all corrupt officials.
On this day, Hongxi hurriedly came to Changchun Garden to ask to see Prince Li.
However, Prince Li was leading people to discuss matters, so naturally he had no time to see him.
After the matter was over, Prince Li took the time to come.
"Tell me, what's the purpose of coming to me in such a hurry?" Prince Li glanced at his son and asked.
Hong Xi is already 20 years old, and the abolition of Prince Li didn't affect him earlier, and even arranged a mansion outside the palace for him. Compared with the other sons around Prince Li, he can be said to be very lucky.
Now that he has married, he has already opened another mansion outside.
After Prince Li came out, he didn't let Hong Xi move to Changchun Garden with him. Although he is the eldest son, he already has his own mansion, so it's not a big deal to move here to live together.
After the fourth master came to the throne, Hong Xi was crowned as the county king, and he was able to truly become independent.
It's not that Prince Li didn't know Hongxi's little thought, but he didn't take it to heart. Compared with the previous years, Hongxi's little thought couldn't be hidden from others. He didn't think Hongxi could beat the fourth child, so he just looked at it coldly. Let him suffer, only after suffering can let go of the delusions in his heart.
Seeing that Ama didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, Hongxi asked anxiously, "Ama, you transferred your master to the anti-corruption team, why didn't you tell me?"
The master Hongxi was talking about was originally a teacher that the prince had found for him in private. Even after being recruited by the eighth master, this one is still flourishing.
Perhaps even Ba Ye would not have imagined that this person was actually a nail placed by the crown prince, and he had promoted this person several times.
Hongxi secretly contacted many people through his master and gained a lot of benefits.
However, what I didn't expect was that at this moment, my own Ama directly lifted that layer of relationship, spread it out in the sun, and exposed everything in the past, which made Hong Xi dumbfounded all of a sudden.
He secretly dug the corners of several uncles, and now all of them were exposed by surprise, but the one who wanted to cry without tears was the one who tricked him or himself, Ama!
These are still trivial matters. Looking at the people in the anti-corruption team, they are all Ama's most loyal people. Only the remaining foundations have been exposed. What else can be left for him?Hong Xi Ke hurried over to ask.
Prince Li sniffed the tea and drank it by himself, "When do I need to report to you?" This Dahongpao is now fired for a thousand dollars in the capital, and there is still a price but no market. I didn't expect the fourth child to be generous. Zi gave him two taels.
It is said that less than one catty is produced in a year.
Hongxi noticed that Ama's attitude was a little cold, and while looking at Ama's face, he said cautiously: "Of course my son didn't mean that..." Since Ama didn't take this matter to heart, could it be that there are other arrangements in private?
Hong Xi guessed that there was another group of people in Ama's hand, otherwise why would he just show the bottom of the card in his hand without paying attention at all.
Prince Li put down the tea bowl, "I don't need to discuss with you what I do, these people are mine, and I have my own opinion on how to deal with them."
Hong Xi hit a snag all of a sudden, feeling a little resentful, "...that son has stepped down."
"Wait." As soon as Hongxi turned his head, he heard Ama shout. He turned his head happily, and heard Ama say, "Your mother is not feeling well these days. Since you are here, please Go and have a look."
Hongxi's heart skipped a beat, no wonder Ama treated him badly, it turned out that Erniang was ill.
And he, the son, didn't even know it!
Presumably in Ama's opinion, his son is not qualified at all, no wonder his tone is so cold.
Hong Xi suffered a sudden loss, he didn't even know about Er Niang's illness, and no one in the garden informed him.
But it is impossible not to inform him of Er Niang's illness, which means something went wrong. Hong Xi kept this matter in mind, could it be that his younger brothers were playing tricks?
No matter what Hong Xi thinks in his heart, he is determined to suffer from this boring loss.
No matter what he thought in his heart, after Ama waved his hand, he could only retreat depressedly.
Next, before Fourteen personally escorted them to Beijing, Prince Li led the rest of the anti-corruption team to Shandong to investigate the details of those officials.
If he eats something from him, he has to spit it out. Prince Li's heart is burning now, and in the future, this fire will burn throughout the officialdom in Shandong.
It took five days and finally made forty or fifty kaleidoscopes.
Both Hong Kyung and Hong Shi took a breath, and then sat together to discuss what price this thing should be sold for.
"Five taels of silver is very suitable." Hongshi set the price without being polite at all.
This is a kaleidoscope made by the dignified prince. With this price alone, 500 taels of silver is not a loss!
Thinking that he still concealed his identity now, Hongshi lowered the price again and again, and finally dropped it to five taels of silver.
It can be said that this is a big sale at a loss.
Hong Jing quickly shook his head, "Is the price too high? If you want so much money all at once, who would buy it?" It wasn't inlaid with gold and jade, but two pieces of round glass were placed on a bamboo joint. It is made of patterned paper and wrapped with a layer outside.It's not worth much at all except for the fact that it's done by hand.
Hong Shi suddenly asked for five taels of silver, which frightened Hong Kyung.
He is not a novice now, so he naturally knows the spending power of five taels of silver. An ordinary man of middle age can earn five taels of silver in a month.
Hongshi took out his bag and packed kaleidoscopes of various colors, and then said to Hongkyung, "Third brother, other than us, the group of children's colleges have seen this thing before. Don't underestimate the purchasing power of this outer city. Most of them are wealthy families, and five taels of silver is nothing to some people."
Hong Kyung was persuaded by him, and helped him pack Waifa Jin into his bag, "Then where do you think we will sell it?"
Hongshi carried the bag, forty or fifty were not too heavy, and after pulling the bag well, he replied: "I have already thought about it, let's go to Hongshuikeng Park to sell it, where is the money and leisure?" There are a lot of people.” Anyway, they can’t sell it here where they live now, and the people living here are ordinary people, who wish to break a penny in half, so how could they spend five taels of silver on an impractical toy?
Hongkyung still has some impressions of Hongshuikeng Park. He and Er Niang went to play together a few years ago. It is indeed very bustling and sells all kinds of toys. It is indeed a paradise for children.
"Okay, third brother, then you can follow what I said, and you can make money." Hongshi patted his chest confidently.
He is a person who has seen the world, selling things, what a joke!
Hong Jing felt that he was not optimistic, but he didn't pour cold water on him, and then he seemed to think of something and asked, "Didn't you say that Hong Ming and the others are going to visit the Red Water Hole? What if we meet them and recognize us?"
Hongshi choked up immediately, and then waved his hand quickly, "Don't worry, it's been a few days, maybe Hongming and the others have already visited. If you really want to worry, then let's cover it up tomorrow. He won't recognize us!"
