Fortune Orb [Qing]

Chapter 37 Good News

Concubine Yi also watched the lantern and shadow play that Yinzhen sent people to arrange, and laughed the whole time, saying that Yinzhen is a monkey spirit.

Yinzhen also had a cheeky face, kneeling in front of Concubine Yi and showing her true feelings: "It's been hard work for Er Niang to give birth to a child and raise a child. I will entertain you with colorful clothes."

Every palace has Kangxi's eyeliner, but most of them do sweeping in the courtyard, or are second- and third-class maids, so it is difficult to get close to the master.But this lamp and shadow play is a stage set up in the courtyard. The expressions of the mother and son's words are clearly understood, and they turned around and reported to the emperor.

Kangxi loves to see his mother, loving son, filial brother and brother Gong. Hearing about this, he was very moved, and Yinzhen's complexion improved a lot.Concubine Yi understood the truth that extreme joy begets sorrow, so she asked the nanny to give a lecture to the servants, and she was no different from the past, neither more insolent nor less willful.

September of this year is destined to be unsettled, and the twists and turns are caused by the earth dragon turning over.

The emperor's eyelids twitched continuously for several days, he could not sleep, and was in a state of panic.

Then, the seismograph made a muffled sound, opened the dragon's mouth towards the southwest, and spit the copper ball into the mouth of the toad.The minister who discovered this was full of horror, and reported it immediately. Kangxi felt a little bit in his heart, and the earth dragon turned over...

After he ascended the throne, he had several quarrels. At that time, he had just been in power, and he was already struggling. Several times of earth dragons turning over made the Manchu civil and military admonish the emperor not to rush for quick success, but to beware of punishment from heaven.Especially in the scene in Beijing in 18 years, it sounded like thunder, the sky was dark, the streets were all cracked, more than [-] houses were destroyed, nearly [-] houses were damaged, and hundreds of people died.Kangxi issued an edict of guilt, and asked the Ministry of Industry and Households to allocate money for disaster relief. The house was demolished and a room was compensated for two taels, and the bannermen added two taels. It was hard to quell public grievances.

Now that He Qinghaiyan is at peace, Kangxi doesn't understand what he did wrong, and he doesn't care about thinking about it. He just hopes that the report from the southwestern side will be presented quickly, so as to see where the incident happened and whether it is serious or not.

The memorial went to Beijing on the [-]th, and the governor of Sichuan came to report that the earth dragon turned over like a nest of eggs, affecting several counties, and the earthquake was especially felt hundreds of miles away.

In the past few days, Kangxi has been in a very bad mood. Those princes who are invincible in the sky have all restrained themselves. They are thinking about dying and giving an explanation. It's even worse.

After the memorial came to Beijing, Kangxi summoned his courtiers Nanshufang to discuss the matter, but before discussing the outcome of the ugly Yinmao, there were rumors among the Eight Banners.It is said that God is dissatisfied with the meanness of the present, and he wants money to cut off the life of the courtiers, so as a warning.It is also said that the Analects of Confucius said that if you make mistakes, don't be afraid to correct them. I hope that the emperor will dispel the idea of ​​​​ransacking the house and exiling them to sell slaves, otherwise it will be unimaginable.

Only then did the palace come up with a charter, appointing imperial envoys to go to Sichuan to relieve the victims, rebuild houses, and distribute pension money.Before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard all kinds of rumors, and the veterans knew that something bad happened.

It is said that the emperor is a prosperous and wise emperor, but in fact, he has a stronger temper than anyone else. He hates courtiers dragging his feet, and even hates others threatening him.

Do you want to make a fuss about this matter and renege on the money you owe?

Dream it.

The household department will only urge you to pay back the money immediately, and raise more so that you can send it to Sichuan.

Sure enough, the ministers were ordered to go out of the palace, and Si Bei Le and the prince asked to see each other, that is to say, all the elder brothers who had received the dispatch were present.Kangxi let his sons in, listened to their opinions, told the ministries to restrain his subordinates, and tried his best to cooperate with the court's disaster relief work and put an end to rumors.

Let the boss arrange manpower to patrol the capital, and when he encounters alarmists, let him go to prison directly.

Let the fourth child total the household silver and send money and rice to Sichuan.

Lao Wu and officials from the Ministry of Rituals prepare to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for blessings.

Lao Ba counted craftsmen to assist in the reconstruction.

……

After explaining clearly one by one, he left the crown prince and Lao Jiu behind, and bluntly said that someone would cause trouble in the morning, so he asked the prince to make preparations, and he also sent Yinzhen to visit the Fucha's house. Some hooligans said that it was inconvenient for the emperor to speak, what would Lao Jiu say? It's all done, that's his father-in-law.

This time, if the matter is to be settled, someone must stand up.

Everything is under Kangxi's control, and the next morning, there are civil servants who say that Dilong's turnaround is a warning to his ancestors, and if the emperor insists on going his own way, there will be natural disasters in the future.Before he finished speaking, Musca pulled out the saber holder and put it on his neck.

"The Sichuan earthquake was the fault of the governor of Sichuan. At most, it affected Ganshan and Shanxi. What has it to do with the saint? How dare you speak nonsense!"

As soon as he started, his subordinates came out one after another.

"My lord's words are very true! Even if the ancestors really warned me, how could the saint be involved when the incident happened thousands of miles away?"

"According to my general opinion, this is the God who asked the emperor to chop you sinners who endanger the country at the touch of your lips! Pollution of the treasury and silver, scraping the people's fat and blood, shameless, dare to speak wild words!"

"Today I will cut off your dog's head and put it on the court, to see if the ancestors come to look for you!"

Headed by Musca, these generals were all walking with swords, and they were about to lead to a murder. Kangxi frowned, and Liang Jiugong shouted for silence.

Musca didn't really want to behead him, but just acted as his son-in-law said, playing a bad face for the emperor.As soon as Liang Jiugong opened his mouth, he withdrew his saber, stepped forward and knelt down: "I am a rough man, and I did a reckless thing in a fit of anger. I am willing to bear the responsibility. I beseech the emperor not to be deceived by evil words. Today, the ancestors warned me that it should be cleared up." Rule by officials, behead ministers."

When he took the lead and knelt down, he knelt down, most of them were generals, and they couldn't make any sense, just seconded.

Of course Yinzhen wanted to support his father-in-law, so he quickly expressed his opinion.

The fourth son is dead, bluntly saying that the treasury is empty and it is difficult to relieve the victims. If the courtiers pay off all the money owed, they can barely turn around, let Kangxi make a decision early.

The prince made preparations. He didn't sleep all night last night and thought of a very contagious rhetoric. He looked haggard in the silver mirror this morning and didn't make any special arrangements. Jiangshan Sheji looked worried, and several paragraphs of words made Kangxi nod again and again. So far, the overall situation has been settled.

Kangxi meant to fine Musca with three months' salary, then turned around and asked the fourth child to go to Sichuan as an imperial envoy in person, and appointed several people to assist him, among them was Fucha.

what does this mean?

This is holy family, it is trust.

After going to court, Yinzhen went to the Ministry of Industry to work for a whole day, and returned to the palace stepping on the locked door. Baozhu knew that he was busy with court affairs, so she dismissed the troupe and shadow troupe earlier, and stopped all kinds of pastimes, so that Xiao In the kitchen, there is a soup to replenish energy and blood, and I stare at him to drink it every day, for fear that I will collapse from exhaustion.

When he came back that day, he took a bath to relieve his fatigue, changed into clean normal clothes, and then ordered to pass the meal.

After waiting for this moment, he first greeted his unborn son and asked how Baozhu was doing today. After hearing that everything was fine, he calmed down and talked about things outside.

"Sichuan earthquake, this matter can be big or small, Huang Ama has arranged everything, but there is no fear of death to make trouble, and use the political affairs of the court to talk about it. It is the father-in-law who came forward to clear the obstacles for Huang Ama. In the Ministry of Industry, you have to be busy for a few days, and you will be idle when the disaster money and food are sent out, so don’t worry. But fourth brother, seeing that the money owed is about to be settled, and he has to go south to provide disaster relief, he is really hardworking.”

Baozhu scooped up a bowl of pigeon soup for Yinzhen, and after handing it over, she said: "It's not for me to wait for the female relatives to intervene in the affairs of the previous dynasty. I only hope that you will take care of your own body and return to your busy schedule. Don't let Er Niang and I The little elder brother in my stomach is worried."

The soup was served in a small palm-sized bowl. Yinzhen drank it up in a few sips, put the empty bowl aside, hugged Baozhu and asked, "Only Erniang and little elder brother? Fujin doesn't care?"

Baozhu buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "You know that and still ask?"

Yinzhen coaxed her to raise her head, held her face and said with a smile: "I just want to hear what Fujin said."

Baozhu glared at him.

Really bad.

"Speaking of which, it is now late September, and it will take more than a month to escort supplies from Beijing to the south of Sichuan. After a while of busy work, it will be around the Chinese New Year when we return to Beijing. The fourth brother's trip is really hard. Why don't you choose and send it? Let’s go get something, and take the sheepskin coat, and I heard from Ama that the winter in the south is cold and wet, and it’s no better than Beijing.”

Baozhu was afraid of the cold, so she ordered the sewing room to make a sheepskin cloak with a hood. After trying it on, she was very satisfied, and then made a big cloak for Yinzhen. It is especially windproof and warm when worn.

It's not that cold yet, he put it away and didn't wear it, it's brand new, and it's about to be given away?

To be reasonable, that Dahui is not the embroiderer of Baozhu, they are all made by the sewing room, so it’s okay to send it out, but Yinzhen just couldn’t bear it, so after thinking about it, he said: "We don’t need to worry about those who are prepared by the fourth sister-in-law. Why don’t we take the lead to send them away?" A little money, more money for disaster relief, the fourth brother can do it well, don’t be unable to get it when you need it, a penny is hard for a hero, wouldn’t it be troublesome to ask for help?”

Baozhu has no idea of ​​family, country and world, she is all about how to live a good life, but Yinzhen said so, can a Fujin support it?She took the key to open the private treasury, took ten thousand taels of banknotes, Yinzhen added ten thousand taels, and went to the account department the next day to deliver it to the fourth child.

"I, Fujin, said that I should do some good deeds to pray for my unborn son, so I took ten thousand taels of banknotes, and I added some more to help my fourth brother in an emergency, and please accept it."

When Yinzhen wanted to make people happy, he called someone who could talk, and Yinzhen really accepted the bank note he sent, saying: "With two taels of silver, you can rebuild a house, and with a few more taels, you can rebuild a family." People are going through the difficulties, and I will thank my younger brother for helping the victims. Brothers and sisters are kind, and there will be good rewards."

Even if he was extremely moved, Yinzhen didn't talk much, and went back to work after a few sentences. He didn't forget to find time to pass Kangxi a brochure and talk about it.

After Kangxi read it, he praised Yinzhen with great fanfare, and only a few months after he was named Gu Shanbeizi, he said that he would be promoted to Baylor.

Confused people only see the benefits that Yinzhen has gained, and think that twenty thousand silver can be exchanged for a Baylor title, which is really easy to do business.

Those who are smart know that the emperor is encouraging courtiers to follow suit, donating some money no matter how much they are.

The next day, the concubines contributed one after another, and the adult princes also sent money to Yinzhen. After inquiring about the amount they gave, the courtiers took action.Before that, the two household workers were still worrying, and they got hundreds of thousands of silver in the blink of an eye, which could solve their urgent needs.

After taking the benefits, Yinzhen did not hesitate to praise the noble character of those who gave him money, and Kangxi was also very satisfied, but it was a pity that he did not give any more rewards to the courtiers, and Yinzhen was the only one who made a steady profit without losing money.

Half a year ago, he was a bald elder brother, but now he is Jiubeile. Anyone who sees Yinzhen's rapid rise is astonished.Concubine Yi was happy, Baozhu was also happy, but he himself wanted to cry but had no tears.

The Beizi Mansion has not been repaired yet, it has become the Baylor Mansion, and it will be changed again, it's really Nima pit.

Thinking so in his heart, he was still full of joy and thanked him honestly.

September passed with vigor and vigor, and by October, Baozhu's belly was the same as that of other families before giving birth, it was terrifyingly big, but fortunately Yinzhen didn't bring Doctor Hu with him when he went south, for fear that he would not give the refugees a good look.Yinzhen asked Mr. Hu to ask for his pulse every day, and he felt relieved when he was watching.
