Chapter 052: Grounded

To say that there is no difference in the essence of this corruption, it is all about taking other people's money into their own pockets. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info can be said in terms of process, but there are differences, there are scheming, greedy and spontaneous, there are blind followers, and there are forced.

What, corruption is still forced, is there a mistake?

There is no mistake, this corruption is really forced, forced to go along with it.

However, what the fourth elder brother thought of through Lan Ying's matter was not these, but another question, Lan Ying instructed the minions around him to take the risk of exchanging the reward he gave for silver, because the cash used for the reward was not enough, so what was the purpose of corruption for those who could obviously borrow national debts?

Yes, corruption was a crime in the Qing Dynasty, but borrowing money from the treasury was not a crime, but a fair and honest way to make money that the emperor had promised.

Of course, some people say that there is borrowing and repaying, and the money borrowed from the treasury will not be returned in the future. This is indeed the case in the future, but in the thirty-third year of Kangxi, there is really no need to repay the silver borrowed from the treasury, anyway, after so many years, only those who have borrowed silver from the treasury have not returned the silver in person.

Like the emperor's two southern tours, the officials in Jiangnan will take over in the future, but they have borrowed millions of taels of silver from the treasury, and now they have not paid back any of them.

Of course, you can also say that people are too greedy, and there are indeed such people, but the fourth elder brother doesn't believe it. Because this is not the first time that the river has had problems in the Kangxi Dynasty, as early as the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, the river changed a group of officials, and then it was changed one after another.

When he first took office, he didn't set the fire on it, but now he has been so corrupt after a few years, and the fourth elder brother thinks that there must be something that everyone doesn't know about it, so that these people will be so disregarded when they are short of money, just like Lan Ying is taking risks now.

What is the need for these people who have the support of big forces behind them to lack money? Surely it is not eating, drinking, and having fun.

After putting this matter on the court and in the palace, the fourth elder brother was suddenly startled and stood up, his eyes were full of disbelief, could it be that there was a brother who intended to rebel!

This is not impossible, of course, the fourth elder brother does not mean that which brother is going to rebel, but that the people behind them may not be able to wait, and want to make the final preparations just in case, after all, many things have to be done in advance. Perhaps the money was originally used for personal gain, but no one knows what it will be used for.

The fourth elder brother felt as if he had opened a new door, and if he wrote an excerpt of the book along this line of thought, he would definitely be offended by the whole court, but this was not a bad thing for a prince, because it was very likely that Khan Amma's heart was more important than the favor of the ministers or the favor of Khan Amma.

At least that's what the fourth elder brother who hasn't gone to the court to discuss politics thinks so, so that he suffered a big loss later.

The most annoying thing was solved, and the fourth elder brother saw that Lan Ying was no longer angry before, although Lan Ying successfully helped him get through a difficult time, but Lan Ying's behavior violated the palace rules, and he had to teach him a lesson, the fourth elder brother said with a straight face: "Since you admit your mistakes, you are a first-time offender, grounded for one month, and punished for copying the palace rules ten times." ”

This punishment is much lighter than Lan Ying imagined, and Lan Ying can't help but feel nervous, because the fourth elder brother's virtue is to make a mistake, if he scolded you and punished you at the beginning, then this matter will be over, if he didn't say anything, just looked at it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, then congratulations on being the little black book of Emperor Yongzheng, and you will pay a heavy price in the future.

But in front of her, the four elder brothers all stood up and looked at her directly, Lan Ying didn't dare to think about anything, and kowtowed directly: "Slave thank you for your grace." Then he watched the fourth elder brother walk out of the way.

Because the fourth elder brother had no expression on his face, and he didn't say much after entering the house, Lan Ying really couldn't figure out whether the fourth elder brother was really angry for a while. Wouldn't have it be for the Zhang family's gloating, Lan Ying closed the door and began to be grounded.

In fact, this grounding day is not particularly different from ordinary days for Lan Ying, because of the low status, Lan Ying can't wander around in the North Third Institute, as for the palace, it is even more impossible, and the range of activities out of the house is just a little bit. In addition, she was used to staying at home in her previous life, and staying in the house all the time and not being able to go out was actually nothing to Lan Ying, the only headache was copying the palace rules.

You must know that there were not many rules in the original harem of the Qing Dynasty, and the meeting between men and women was not as harsh as it is now, but with the consolidation of generation after generation, people suddenly broke out and knew that they would pretend to save face, and the Qing Dynasty was naturally too. Therefore, generation after generation, now the palace rules are as thick as a brick, and it is really fatal to copy it.

However, the fourth elder brother has an order, and Lan Ying doesn't dare not do it, she also needs the fourth elder brother's pet hobby to be promoted and raised in the future to reach the peak of her life.

At the beginning, Lan Ying couldn't calm down, so the handwriting copied out was very sloppy, but it was really written by a beginner. After writing a lot, Lan Ying's heart gradually calmed down, since she took the initiative to do this, no matter whether the fourth elder brother is really angry with her or not, what will happen in the future, even if she kneels, she will go down on her knees.

The sky is gradually getting dark, Lan Ying doesn't want to copy books under the lamp and ruin her eyes, she has already hurt her eyes when she rushes to embroider before, and now she has to protect it well. After letting Mingyue withdraw, he asked in a low voice, "Wurenke was sent back?"

Mingyue shook her head: "The slave doesn't know. The outside is guarded, and even if the minions go out, they are stared at, and they don't have a chance to inquire about the news. If she didn't know that although her master violated the palace rules this time, she didn't hurt anyone, she thought that the fourth elder brother was going to be ruthless to the little master, and she was a slave and let people stare at her.

When the master and servant were worried about Wuren's life and death in the house, Su Peisheng and Su Gonggong were ushered outside, Zhang's house was next door to Lan Ying, she saw Su Peisheng coming, and naturally thought that the fourth elder brother had sent him to her, so before Su Peisheng approached, he greeted him with a smile on his face, "Grandpa Su is here this time, but come to pass on the words of the master?" Zhang couldn't wait to hear the news that the fourth elder brother praised himself or called himself to bed, right at this gate, where Lan Ying could hear it in the house.

She wants to raise her eyebrows as soon as she turns over, and she is angry with Lan Ying, she has had enough.
