The six princes and Chen Jue were ordered to go to Jiangnan to investigate the disaster relief case, including Emperor Yongjia, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that they would get bloody rain if they went to this line, and the corrupt officials and cool officials fell countless times, and even half of the officialdom in Liangjiang had to be changed, and even Emperor Yongjia was ready to become famous.

Where did I think that after Chen Jue first arrived in Jiangnan, he took the handwritten letter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the family letter of Zhao Bihe, the commander of the Jinyi Army, to visit several Jiangnan bigwigs, and invited the wine and dinner banquet several times, and then he had already pushed the cup to change the lamp, turning the war into jade silk, and then in the name of "making up for the merits", he persuaded the officials of Liangjiang to contribute money and efforts, and when the imperial court was not rich in disaster relief money and grain, he encouraged local officials to pay out of their own pockets to resettle the victims, buy civil engineering, grain, farm tools, and cattle, and start to rebuild the matter; In addition, he was even more eloquent, persuading the officials of Liangjiangtai to pay off the money of the imperial court, take the initiative to pay the greedy ink and dirty silver, and expose the principal to reduce his crime......

In the end, except for the person who is the most forgiving and unforgivable person who is truly guilty of the greatest crime, the rest of the officials actually have their own excuses, although after the music is heard by the heavens, these officials will still be punished for negligence, but the lives of the bad people are saved. The face of the imperial court and Emperor Yongjia was saved.

Such a big case that shocked the government and the opposition and involved the two rivers was unexpectedly achieved by Chen Jue's long-sleeved dancing, and the four corners were all in harmony with the light, whitewashed the peace, and successfully solved the happy ending of the disaster relief. Emperor Yongjia and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who were worried in Chang'an City, and the courtiers who wanted to see Chen Qi's jokes broke their eyes.

In the eyes of Emperor Yongjia and the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the errand between the six princes and Chen Qi was really clean and beautiful, and there were no worries. This situation also made Emperor Yongjia and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu quite curious, and they didn't know what Chen Qi had done.

However, Chen Zuoshu can only roughly state the cause and effect of this matter, and after all, he can't explain everything in detail. So this time when he returned to Beijing to face the Sheng, Emperor Yongjia focused on asking about the details - or Chen Qi's methods. After all, with the upright temperament of the six princes and their rather bending temperament, this kind of beautiful thing with light and dust is not like his handwriting.

Seeing the sage asking, Chen Qi had already prepared a draft in his heart, and immediately talked about it. The flickering Emperor Yongjia and the courtiers nodded and praised again and again. Only the six princes who were in it glanced at Chen Qi with a smile, and secretly scolded "Lying to the dead is not worth your life", but out of various considerations, he did not debunk Chen Jue's lies.

After a while, Emperor Yongjia asked the six princes about various details. Fang Cai nodded in satisfaction.

Then he pondered for a moment and said: "This case of the impeachment of Liangjiang officials for colluding with Lu Huanzhang, the governor of the river, for embezzling money for the construction of the river, although it has been ascertained by the Qin Mission, it has been proved that there are less than one of the five officials involved, but in the end, it has also exposed the shortcomings of the Liangjiang officialdom to protect each other. You must take this as a warning. Now that there are many vacancies in the governors of the river, the doctors of Lantai Temple and the officials of Liangjiang, can you have the ability to recommend? ”

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the ministers heard this, they looked at each other. After a long period of silence, no one spoke. Seeing this, Emperor Yongjia chuckled, and casually pointed at the prince and said, "The prince is the prince of the country and supervises state affairs. It's up to you to recommend meritocracy. Let's talk about it first. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard the words of the sage, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the son recommended Lu Huanzhang as the governor of the river before, but Lu Huanzhang did not want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but colluded with the officials of the two rivers to be greedy for money for repairing the river, causing the river embankment to collapse and the people suffer. The son of the minister does not know people clearly, and he is really ashamed. How dare you—"

"Alright." Emperor Yongjia waved his hand, interrupting His Royal Highness the Prince's self-blame, because he said: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and the bones, and you don't know the face of the person but not the heart." As a human king, you need to have the wisdom to know people and judge people's talents. However, it is reasonable to be at a loss occasionally. Prince ......"

When Emperor Yong'an said this, he paused thoughtfully, and then said, "Tell me about the candidate in your heart." ”

Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to carefully report his candidate. This time, he absorbed Chen Jue's advice back then, and did not recommend his own disciples. Rather, in consideration of his ability and temperament, he elected a neutral minister—or in other words, a confidant of the Yongjia Emperor.

When Emperor Yongjia heard what the prince said, he was also expected. Immediately, he asked the opinions of the three princes, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the ministers in the palace.

Due to the different positions of the people, the people recommended are naturally different. There are also those who spy on the divine will and recommend talents. Emperor Yongjia's heart is like a mirror, and he doesn't care.

Seeing that the eyes of all the princes fell on the position of the governor of the river, and the saint was already in his chest, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he stepped forward and recommended: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the former detective Lin Ruhai is upright, talented, and astute, and can be the doctor of Lantai Temple." ”

The so-called Lantai Temple doctor's duties are similar to those of the imperial historian. However, unlike the pure mouth cannon played by the imperial history, the doctor of Lantai Temple has more prosecutorial power, so the authority is heavier. The reason why the Ministry of Shangshu recommended Lin Ruhai as the doctor of Lantai Temple is that Lin Ruhai is a Hanlin Tanhua and has a noble identity; The second is also to consider that the Lin family is the fifth prince, and he has a high reputation in the Jiangnan area, and Lin Ruhai married the daughter of the head of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Shi, and is in the same vein as the officials of Liangjiang...... At the sensitive juncture when the big case of corruption broke out in Jiangnan and the officials of the two rivers fell one after another, if the sage sent such a son of a eunuch to serve as the doctor of Lantai Temple, he should be able to appease the people's hearts.

The most important point is that Lin Ruhai's own talent is astute enough to cope with this errand.

Sure enough, as soon as the minister's Shangshu finished speaking, Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows with interest, and then pondered for a moment, and actually agreed to the recommendation of the minister's book. He commanded the drafting of the will, and gave six copies. As for the appointment of the governor of the river, Emperor Yongjia finally chose his confidant, who happened to be recommended by His Royal Highness the Prince. The princes looked at it in their eyes, and they didn't think about it.

As for the six princes and Chen Qi, they were both promoted to one level because of their meritorious work. The sixth prince was promoted from the king of the county to the first prince of the prince. As for whether the two of them will have a heavy responsibility after returning to Beijing...... Emperor Yongjia didn't say anything at the moment, only on the grounds of long-distance fatigue, and asked everyone to disperse without mentioning it.

When everyone saw this, they had to bow down and leave. Yuguan withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace.

The three princes stole chickens and rice, and in order to poke out the officialdom of Liangjiang, they lost a lot of eyeliner connections, but although Lu Huanzhang was pulled off the horse, he did not shake the crown prince's position, and he did not dare to deal with Emperor Yongjia. Seeing that the six princes and Chen Qi were following behind the prince, they couldn't help but sneer in every way: "Lord Chen is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he is exquisite, and he is really good." The sixth brother followed Lord Chen, and he became more and more experienced in doing errands. It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made meritorious teachings, and he also told me to know and know, what is called a dog that can bite people and not bark! ”

When the sentence fell, Chen Qi was still full of spring breeze and couldn't see anything. The sixth prince was pale, and his eyes stared coldly at the third prince.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw it, he didn't laugh angrily, and looked at the three princes from head to toe meaningfully, and said slowly: "The third emperor brother is so angry and corrupt, and he doesn't choose his words, so that Lone mistakenly thinks that there is a vicious dog coming to his face, and he almost wants to choose me and devour." ”

"You-" The third prince was furious when he heard this, but before he could open his mouth to refute it, the seven princes and others who were watching on the side could not help but burst out laughing.

The third prince is hindered by the fact that the crown prince is the prince, and it is not easy to argue with him about anything. Seeing that the Seventh Prince and the others were like this, he was angry at everyone and said, "What are you laughing at? ”

"Hey, third brother, you can't say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to make a few of our brothers angry, what do you mean?" The eleventh prince sneered disapprovingly, stopped in front of the seventh prince and said: "Third brother, don't want to bully us, annoy your younger brother, when the time comes, you will run to your father and sue you regardless of it, you have to think about whether you can afford it." ”

The third prince was almost out of breath when he was choked by the eleventh prince's words, but he avoided this matter and didn't dare to let his father know. Hearing what the eleventh prince said, he had to snort coldly with hatred, flick his sleeves and leave.

In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the princes, the eleventh prince spat on the ground and sneered disapprovingly: "Something." ”

And the seventh prince arched his hand with a smile at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince, and said: "The sixth brother went to Jiangnan on an errand on the order of his father, and he worked hard all the way. The younger brother had already prepared thin wine to wash the dust for the sixth brother. I just don't know if the sixth brother appreciates the face. ”

When the sixth prince heard this, he looked at the prince hesitantly. The crown prince said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I learned that the sixth brother and Zizhang returned to Beijing today, and Gu also prepared a thin wine in the East Palace to wash the dust for the sixth brother." Since the seventh brother also has this intention, you might as well come together. Let's have more people to eat and drink, and it's so lively. ”

When the seven princes heard this, they were reluctant to agree. The rest of the princes are all the first of the seven princes, and naturally they all laughed.

Only the Twelfth Prince frowned and said to the Sixth Prince: "Sixth Brother, let's go to the harem to meet the mother concubine first." The mother concubine learned that the sixth brother was back in Beijing today, and she was ready to leave early in the morning. not only personally cooked the sixth brother's favorite Dongpo meat, but also took the sixth sister-in-law and little nephew to the palace. I just want our family to have a good reunion. ”

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard about the Twelve Princes, he had to laugh and say, "This is my negligence." I forgot that the lady concubine was thinking about her heart. In this case, the sixth brother and the twelfth brother went to say goodbye to the lady concubine. When you come to the East Palace tomorrow, my brother will pick you up and wash the dust. ”

When the six princes heard this, they had to bow down and thank them, bid farewell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes, and then returned to the harem with the twelve princes. Seeing this, the Seventh Prince had no choice but to leave.

Only Chen Jue returned to the East Palace with His Royal Highness the Prince. The monarchs and ministers made great salutes, each sat down, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered someone to offer tea. Only then did he smile and ask what was going on in Jiangnan.

Chen Qi saw that there were no outsiders in the outer study, so he no longer shirked it, and he made an undisguised appearance.

It is said that Chen Jue bears the weight and protection of His Royal Highness the Prince, and has the endorsement of Zhao Bihe, the commander of the Jinyi Army, and because he is good at lobbying people's hearts, he has just arrived in Jiangnan not long ago, and has won the trust and closeness of the officials of the two rivers under the convenience of drinking and talking. No longer shouting and shouting and killing when he was far away in Chang'an.

After solving the dilemma of his own curses, Chen Qi then began to lobby Zhen Yingjia and several other Jiangnan officials, and Yang Qi came out to win over the Liangjiang officials as a guarantee, which not only dispelled the resentment of the Liangjiang officials against His Royal Highness the Prince's strong man's broken wrist, but also turned his good words into righteous words, and he cared about the ministers, so he volunteered to go to Jiangnan and make up for the aftermath of everyone.

In the name of the prince's private order to deal with the aftermath for everyone, Chen Jue appeased and lobbied the officials of Liangjiang, while the six princes upheld the iron-faced and selfless fairness and strictness, and strictly investigated all things □□ corruption in the name of the imperial court. In this way, the officials of Liangjiang were controlled, and the errand of relief to the victims was successfully completed.

And let the people of Jiangnan be grateful to Emperor Yongjia, and the officials of Liangjiang have no suspicion of His Royal Highness the Prince.
