every spring [comprehensive]

After the banquet, Jianning went back to his room to rest.Mo Ju, Mo Xiang and others quickly removed the heavy court dress and crown on her body, and put on light household clothes.

Jianning said, "Bring me the gift they gave you today."

Kangxi intends to convene the officials of the three Jin Dynasties, the government, the Taoist, the Taiwanese, the generals, and the generals from all provinces tomorrow to discuss the matter together.First of all, it is too late to talk about business as soon as we arrive today.Secondly, he wanted to wait for news from Wei Dongting and Tuhai and the others. They did not arrive so fast by taking water and mountain roads.

All the knowledge about the officials has always been revealed from the notebooks, especially the performance evaluations, which are all written by the Shangguan. He also wants to see how these people's reputation among the people is.

Kangxi walked to the door of Jianning's room, and the light was still on inside, and asked, "Is San Gege asleep?"

Jianning said: "I'm still asleep, brother emperor, come in."

When Kangxi walked in, he saw the table full of presents at first sight, and Jianning was playing with a string of longan-sized pearls in his hands.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are there so many things?"

Jianning said: "These were all sent by the wives after the banquet today. I didn't want to accept them, but they wanted to be together. Before they left, they put down their things and left. Look, Brother Emperor, should I send someone to send them back?" ?”

Kangxi said: "Since they gave it to the princess, they should send something back."

Jian Ning nodded and said, "In this case, I will ask someone to give a reward from the palace later, and treat everyone equally. No matter what is sent, the reward will be the same. This is also the etiquette between the monarch and his ministers."

Kangxi said: "Okay." Kangxi also followed her to check the gifts on the table, picked up the string of black pearls and said: "Who gave these black pearls, I am afraid they are very valuable."

Black pearls are always hard to come by, they can be met but not sought after, even one black pearl may not come out of ten thousand white pearls.And this person actually gathered so many necklaces of the same size and gave them to Jianning. He didn't expect that there would be such a rich man among Shanxi officials.

Jianning said: "There is a label on the box, it is the wife of the prefect named Zhou Yunlong."

Mo Ju whispered a few words in Jianning's ear, and Jianning nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing that Kangxi was confused, she explained: "Mo Ju said that Mrs. Zhou did not send this box, but changed it once."

Kangxi said: "What's going on?"

Mo Ju said: "When I was at the gate, when this servant met Mrs. Zhou, she was complaining that it was too far to go to Huangcheng Village. Maybe she knew she had said something wrong, so she changed her name before she left. I bought a gift for the princess, and forced a 500 tael silver ticket to the servant."

From her description, Kangxi could already imagine that Mrs. Zhou would spend 500 taels of silver for any court lady, so it seemed that she was really a big spender.

He said thoughtfully: "Zhou Yunlong? In Moluo's annual examination papers, this Zhou Yunlong is in the top few, and he is excellent in all aspects. I plan to set him up as a model of honest officials tomorrow. How many people do they have?" Money, enough to spend like this! Is there some improper source of income?"

On the other hand, Zhou Zhifu returned home and asked his wife: "What happened to the princess's banquet? Did you make any mistakes?"

It was impossible for Madam Zhou to tell him that she was outspoken and almost caused disaster, so she tried every means to remedy it, and said: "The princess of the royal family is indeed extraordinary. She was frightened of the stage, and she even talked eloquently, expressing the original intention and purpose of the emperor's southern tour very clearly. All the people present were convinced by this little princess."

Zhou Yunlong said: "People in the royal family are not easy-going lamps. Moreover, the third princess has long been praised for her loyalty and bravery. She once dared to reprimand Oboi in the court. This courage alone is not something ordinary people can do. of."

These words are polite enough, when Oboi gained power, he was really arrogant and domineering, no one dared to speak out when he was full of civil and military affairs!When Oboi disrespected the emperor, all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty pretended to be quails, and even asked a little girl under ten years old to reprimand him.

Although Zhou Yunlong was from Shanxi, he had heard of this princess for a long time. She must be a person worthy of fear when she grows up.

Mrs. Zhou saw that Mr. Zhou seemed to have a high opinion of the third princess, she thought she had done the right thing, and said proudly: "Since the princess rarely comes to Shanxi, I will give the black pearl to the third princess."

Zhou Yunlong said in disbelief: "What did you say?! Don't you know that I'm going to give that string of black pearls to Prince Pingxi?"

Mrs. Zhou said disapprovingly: "If you give it to Prince Pingxi, it will end up in the hands of Chen Yuanyuan, a woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Could it be that the princess of our Qing Dynasty is not as precious as her, I..." There was only a slap, and only the face remained. Burning pain.

Who knew that her actions didn't get Zhou Yunlong's approval, but instead got a big slap.

Mrs. Zhou was still in shock and didn't understand why she was beaten: "My lord, you..."

Zhou Yunlong glared at her and said, "You think you're smart, so you don't do stupid things! You ruined my big business!"

On the court side, Zhou Yunlong has been committed to creating an image of being honest, honest and diligent in government and serving the people.He spent countless money to clear the governor and others.

That string of black pearls, he had spent decades collecting them, the purpose was naturally to invite favor from his master, Prince Pingxi.However, it happened to be sent to the third princess in the imperial court. What would the emperor think if he knew? !

If he had known that he would rather not have his family members present, he would not let this idiot lady go to see some princess, but now it is too late for him to regret it.

The next day, Kangxi was going to meet all the officials, so naturally he would not reward Zhou Yunlong who didn't know the depth of the water.Instead, he watched him carefully.

At the foot of Wutai Mountain in Taihuai Town, Shanxi Province, a group of people from the Qingmutang of the Tiandihui were gathering to discuss the help. One person said: "I heard that the emperor of the Tartars is on his way to the south, and there is a lot of trouble. Everyone knows it. And right now In Shanxi, I think we should do something to impress him!"

One person said: "But our eyeliner at the emperor's side, Wei Xiangzhu would rather be an undercover agent at the emperor's side than assassinate the emperor of the Tartars. There must be a reason."

Someone said: "I think the time is not ripe now, and the chief helmsman is not here, no one is in charge of the overall situation. After all, killing the Tartar emperor is a big deal."

Someone echoed: "Yes, and Master Wei Xiang, let us stay here to meet him."

Feng Ji, who took the lead in advocating to do something, said: "Oh, Wei Xiangzhu was already an eunuch next to the emperor before he became the incense master! How could he go to assassinate the Tartar emperor! Besides, Mr. Chen left As I said before, we can do it cheaply."

Taoist Xuanzhen said: "We are the Tiandihui, and it is our burden to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Now that we know that the emperor of the Tartars came here on his southern tour, if he does nothing, it will be against the rules of the Tiandihui! If others find out Now, seeing the emperor of the Tartars walk in front of the heroes of our Tiandihui, and we are so disheartened that we don’t do anything, don’t we want to make a fool of ourselves, what kind of heroes are we?”

Everyone looked at each other, and someone said: "I think Taoist Priest and Brother Feng are right."

Most of the Tiandihui are righteous men who know some kung fu, that is to say, there are more warriors and few think tanks. Hearing what they say, they all feel passionate and courageous.I really feel that I can't just do nothing. If other gangs know about it, it will also give me a bad reputation.

Qian Laoben said: "But with our strength, it is a drop in the bucket to deal with the thousands of imperial guards around the Tartar protecting him. Before we even reached him, we were captured."

Feng Jizhong said: "Of course we can't confront the enemy head-on. We can only send people to monitor him, pay close attention to his movements, and then act according to circumstances. It is best to wait until the emperor of the Tartars travels alone or when there are few people around him."

The members of the Tiandihui reached a consensus and decided to spy secretly first, and then act by ear.

After Jianning accidentally received the precious black pearl, Kangxi already knew that these officials might have different appearances, so he decided to wait until Wei Dongting and Tu Hai returned, and combined their news before evaluating the officials.

Kangxi's decision this time was really good.Zhou Yunlong was selected as an official in Shanxi, and he came out of Wu Sangui's small court. Originally, if Zhou Yunlong was really honest and honest, Kangxi would definitely reward him and tell the world.

However, he searched for the people's fat and anointment, robbed the people's horses and sent them to Yunnan, which angered Kangxi and ordered him to be severely punished.

After Zhou Yunlong fell from the horse, under Kangxi's strict investigation, Governor Mo Luo actually received 10,000+ taels of silver from Wu Sangui every year, and that Zhou Yunlong also had other filial piety.

Kangxi knew that Wu Sangui's hand stretched so long that he actually corrupted the officials of the provinces of the Qing Dynasty, so the officials in Beijing naturally did not fall behind, and his heart was already furious.

Sanfanwei is a big deal, accounting for more than half of the country's fiscal revenue every year.Kangxi had long silently made withdrawal one of the national policies. During this southern tour, he also wanted to see with his own eyes the extent of their power.

The three things can't be done right away, but the corrupt officials in front of you can make an example and warn the officials of the provinces.Wherever Kangxi went, the official circles in Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi experienced a major change.Even Governor Mo Luo has been reduced to prefect.

The officials of the three provinces can be said to be reshuffled.

On this day, after Kangxi finished his business, he said to Jianning, "Follow me to meet someone."

Seeing the emperor in micro-clothes, Jianning knew that it was not as simple as meeting an official.

This is in Shanxi, and Mount Wutai is in Shanxi.

Jian Ning asked, "Brother Emperor, are you planning to see Master Xing Chi?"

Kangxi said: "I can't hide anything from you. I have exactly this intention. Before that, I sent Xiao Guizi to pay my respects on my behalf. On the way to the south, I passed Shanxi. As a child, I must go to Mount Wutai."

Jian Ning said: "But Master Xing Chi has already entered the Buddhist sect, and the four elements are all empty. He doesn't think we are his children. The emperor's brother may be shut down if he goes here."

Kangxi said firmly: "Even if he doesn't see me, I will go, not to mention, I still have a lot of questions to ask him."

Kangxi saw Jianning's reluctance, and after thinking about it, he thought he understood what was going on, and said, "I know you have had a crush on him since you were a child, and you haven't met Huang Ama a few times. But , in fact, I am not much better than you. Who told us to be born in the emperor's family, the most important thing for the royal family is to be alone, and the family relationship is weak. If you don't want to see Huang Ama, you can stay here and wait. I'm back."

Jianning thought for a while and said, "I'll just go with you." In fact, Kangxi was only partly right. She always followed the so-called family affection, but it was true that she had no affection for Shunzhi, the biological father.
