Just when the whole court was busy with the matter of patrolling outside the Sai, a major event happened in the court, which instantly replaced the patrol outside the Saiwai and became the "headline" that people paid attention to.

At a small court meeting, the prince's people were involved, and the evidence was indeed involved, among them, his grandmother brother was also involved.

The emperor originally wanted to give the crown prince face, but Kangxi, who was low-key, was furious after hearing the evidence.

In recent years, Jiangnan's tax revenue has not increased, or even decreased, and the increased and decreased tax revenue has gone into the pockets of the princelings, and Jiangnan is the main source of state finance, accounting for more than half of the national treasury.

Whether the prince knows the greed of his subordinates or not, it is a fact that his subordinates are not strict, and even if the prince knows, it is to condone his subordinates to embezzle the treasury.

Hehe, the crown prince is the heir of the country he has chosen, and digging into the corners of the treasury like this really does not have a sense of mission for the future master of a country.

So, Prince, are you like that?

Kangxi, who was high on top, quickly flashed a trace of disappointment in his eyes as he stared at the prince, and he was immediately covered by anger, and the thick disappointment in his heart became the fuel for anger.

For the first time in his life, the prince was scolded by Kangxi.

Yes, and scolded him by name, and not by punishing his vassals.

scolded him for not knowing people clearly, scolded him for not being strict with his subordinates, and scolded him......

For the first time, the prince was scolded by Kangxi, who loved him, so facelessly, he was a little stunned, and he forgot to refute it for a while.

But in Kangxi's eyes, the prince was weak-hearted, and he didn't even say a word to refute.

Disappointment suddenly came to his heart again, and for the first time, a thought flashed in his heart, will this prince make a mistake.

Although it was only a flash, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in Kangxi's heart.

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi frowned, walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, and suddenly, he froze, turned around, stared at Li Dequan and asked, "You say, how did my prince become like this?"

The words circled around Li Dequan's mind many times, and he pondered for a while before he replied: "Master, maybe the prince has been kept in the dark?"

Kangxi sneered, "Hehe, he won't know anything about it?" The more he said, the more angry he became, and he was angry, "If that's the case, then how did he, the prince, be a puppet?

"Maybe the prince also knows something, maybe he didn't expect it to be so serious!

"He is the crown prince, one person is above ten thousand people, what can he worry about!" The angry Kangxi was furious, but as soon as the words came out, he actually knew that this might be the truth.

This concern is naturally worried about himself, only he has the power to punish and execute his courtiers, and the prince, if the people under his hands cross the line, some small fish and shrimp princes can handle it, but those ministers have no right to deal with it, those close people, such as his brother, maybe the prince is too affectionate and can't do it.

The prince has always been Kangxi's most beloved child, and he is the prince he has cultivated for decades, although there are some problems, he doesn't want to give up on him like this.

Kangxi, who was thoughtful, pondered in his heart, it seems that the prince still needs to continue to polish.

power, he can't give him a bigger power, well, it seems that he has to continue to set up competition for the prince, and the group of people under the prince will be much more comfortable after being stared at and looking for a handle.

But the prince is too affectionate, this is not good, you can set up such an image for the prince, but it is best to have a knife by your side, and then this kind of influence on the prince's image can be dealt with with by a knife. Well, the fourth child is jealous and hateful, and he also hates corruption, which makes people feel very cold, and he is it.

This sets up competition for the prince, although there was a boss and the prince competing before, but both sides have a tacit understanding, not good, maybe ......

planned to bring a few more elder brothers out to fight, and by the way, as the prince's whetstone, he would polish and polish the prince, so there was a scene of Kangxi coming to the third elder brother Yinzhi Mansion before traveling outside the Saiwai.

This is the first one of the elder brothers!

The third elder brother Yinzhi was also praised by Kangxi and was publicized intentionally or unintentionally.

Yinzhi was so proud, showing off in front of his brother, the fourth master was also envious of this in his heart, and at the same time, he also felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, not only Yinzhi frequently won Kangxi's praise, but also his sister-in-law. This made Yinzhi more and more complacent, and even openly provoked the prince.

If it was in the past, if he provoked the prince, he would be beaten by Kangxi more or less, but after Yinzhi's provocation, not only was he fine, but he also got two good words from Kangxi.

In the eyes of others, the prince has fallen out of favor, the prince's status is shaking, and some courtiers have begun to sell well to the third elder brother Yinzhi.

Four Baylor Mansion, faint voices in the study.

"The emperor is dissatisfied with the prince, and the prince's status has been shaken!"

As soon as these words came out, the fourth master blurted out: "Impossible!"

The staff member who had just spoken continued: "Fourth master, the third elder brother of the king of Chengjun openly provoked the prince and had nothing to do, and after that, he also got words of encouragement from the emperor, obviously, the emperor does not protect the prince like a calf, and the prince's position is really not so stable." ”

In fact, the fourth master had nothing to say, and at the same time, such a thought flashed uncontrollably in his heart - the second brother's position as the crown prince, is it that they all have a chance.

The fourth master couldn't help lowering his eyes to hide the movement in his eyes, yes, he also had a longing for that position, and only the slightly trembling tea cup left traces of his heart.

But for a while, thinking of the prince's kindness to him, the fourth master lifted his eyelids, relaxed the tea cup he was holding tightly, the water surface in the cup became smaller, and his mood returned to calm.

Obviously, he suppressed the desire in his heart.

The room was silent for a while, and the fourth master did not covet the position of the prince at this time, and he was the helper of the prince cultivated by Kangxi.

After thinking for a while, the fourth master clenched the teacup in his hand suddenly, frowned, and his tone was normal at first, "Huang Ama connived at the third brother to provoke the prince, it should be an excuse to beat the prince, but", a turn, his tone became cold: "Those people are too serious to be corrupt and take bribes!"

The staff thought about it and agreed: "Maybe so!"

Another staff member who spoke little and had inconvenient legs and feet understood what the fourth master meant, "Fourth master, do you think it is strange? Yes, judging from past events, the prince is quite wise in political affairs, even if he really turns a blind eye, maybe he thinks that the water is clear and there are no fish, but he can't indulge it to that extent." After all, that's half of the treasury, and the crown prince, as the future monarch, will also have the treasury in the future, so he shouldn't have that much heart to allow his subordinates to dig his corner, right?"

The first staff member to speak guessed: "Perhaps, the prince thinks that the greed is not so serious?"

The staff who was inconvenient with his legs and feet said very cooperatively: "You mean that the prince is partially blinded." ”

The first staff member to speak nodded.

"Yo, then these people are really capable, and the very wise prince has been deceived like this! Then the matter here is serious!" When the staff with inconvenient legs and feet spoke, he wondered in his heart, I don't know if the emperor thought of this level.

However, he glanced at the fourth master, the master in front of him was amazing, in such a short time, he sensed that something was wrong.

The fourth master, who was glanced at, didn't notice it, he also thought of the seriousness of the matter, he had already put down the tea cup in his hand, and turned the wrench on his thumb to think about it.
