Kangxi pondered for a long time, and he didn't figure it out, there are not a few clan nobles who support the old fourteenth, why the old fourteenth seems to have a grudge against the clan, and the children of the clan are actually going to death, which is completely different from his previous attitude towards the clan, I really can't figure out his thoughts, if he tries to let me be a villain, it will disappoint him.

Glancing at Yinzhen, where the old god was there, Kangxi instructed Li Dequan: "Summoning all the ministers of the study to meet him." ”

After Li Dequan went out, Kangxi said: "The expedition to Europe and the Americas is imminent, and there is a specific candidate for the mission with the army?" ”

Yinzhen had already considered this issue, and immediately said: "Back to Emperor Ama, the expeditionary force in Europe will inevitably have to negotiate with the royal families of European countries, even if it is to form an envoy group, the identity of the leader of the team must not be too low, at least it must be above the king of the county, so as not to be rude."

The fourth brother is cautious and meticulous, both scheming and good at forbearance, and he is also familiar with spying agents, whether it is the leader of the envoy group or stationed in Europe in the future, he is the best candidate. ”

Kangxi listened to the slight chin of the head, the old fourteen did not worry about the fourth, and took this opportunity to send him to Europe, which is forty thousand miles away, although the means are a little spicy, but it is several times better than cannibalism, and the character and means of the fourth are also particularly suitable for going to Europe, with him in Europe, the situation in Europe is afraid that it will be more chaotic, if it is purely from the point of view of achieving the purpose of the expedition, the fourth is indeed the best candidate.

Thinking of this, Kangxi said: "Yes, the fourth child is indeed a more suitable candidate, but as soon as he goes to Europe, there will be no suitable candidates for the implementation of 'paving into acres'." ”

"Huang Ama, there are priorities, compared with the expedition to Europe, the implementation of 'paving into acres' is much inferior." Yinzhen said calmly: "You can rely on the fourth brother to sort out the experience of the implementation of the 'paving into the mu', so that the two can be correct, in addition, Erchen feels that the implementation of the 'paving into the mu' should be appropriately accelerated. ”

"Yes, that's a good point." Kangxi then asked: "Is there a candidate for the leading generals who will go to Europe?" ”

"Back to Emperor Ama, it is indeed difficult to choose a general." Yinzhen bowed and said: "Shi Shibiao is the most suitable, but after the navy has gone out, before the new warships and navy have grown, the Fujian Navy Division is extremely important, in addition, Mu Shibiao is very familiar with the situation in the South Seas, including the routes to Annam, Burma, Nanzhang, Siam and other subject countries, and Erchen is really reluctant to let him go to Europe for a few years.

Long Keduo is not familiar with the navy, and he is not familiar with the navy's artillery and muskets, so he led the navy on an expedition to Europe, which is really reluctant, it is said that the thirteenth brother is a good candidate, but he is not in good health, and the expedition to Europe is too dangerous. The other candidates are not familiar with the sons. ”

Kangxi sighed lightly, and then said: "A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, the generals of the navy, you have to pay more attention and vigorously promote, I will consider this matter again." ”

In the upper study, several ministers in the upper study room read the excerpts in their respective seats, wrote abridgements, checked the recitals from all over the country, and saw if there was any military situation or urgency or important matters that needed to be played by Kangxi.

After the little eunuch who delivered the decree entered the door, he stood still at the door and said in a shrill voice: "The emperor has an order to summon all the ministers in the study to meet him." ”

Hearing that all the ministers of the study were summoned to meet together, Xiao Yongzao, Ma Qi, Zhang Pengxi, Song Zhu, Wang Luo, Fu Ningan and other six ministers of the study were all slightly stunned, and then hurriedly cleaned up, and hurried to the Qianqing Palace, one by one, knowing what Kangxi would ask, and silently pondering how to play it right along the way. ..., after a group of six people entered the Dongnuan Pavilion to ask for a ceremony, Kangxi gave a seat as usual, and the six people got up in thanks, and found that the Jindun where Yinzhen was sitting was different from their small pestle, and it was slightly higher, and they were all surprised, and suddenly realized, no wonder the fourteenth master came so early, it turned out that Kangxi used this method to let the fourteenth master accumulate experience in dealing with court affairs.

Zhang Pengxi was very happy in his heart, it seems that Kangxi really cultivated the Fourteenth Master as the prince, Xiao Yongzao and Ma Qi were secretly thinking about whether it should be completely turned to the Fourteenth Master, Song Zhu, Wang Luo, and Fu Ningan couldn't help but be a little slanderous, but they were a little careful in their hearts.

After everyone sat down, Kangxi said: "I had a private visit to the Beijing division yesterday, and what I saw and heard was not only shocking, but also incredible. As the Minister of the Upper Study, what do you think about this? ”

As soon as he heard Kangxi's words, the buttocks of the six ministers in the study room just got on the chairs, and they immediately slipped off the ground, knelt down, and Ma Qi took the lead in saying: "The capital is so lawless, cruel to businessmen and harming the people, and the servants live in the study, and the blame is hard to escape, and I pray for the emperor to punish him heavily." ”

Wang Luo also followed closely and said: "In the first good place of the Beijing Division, such a shocking thing happened, it is really a negligence and dereliction of duty by the micro-ministers, and the Beijing Division is still like this, what about the place?" The ministers are in a high position, but the corpse is a vegetarian meal, can not see the subtlety, can not see the details, not only hurt the dignity of the court, but also hurt the emperor's benevolence like the sky, it is really a shameful landless appearance, the micro ministers implore the emperor to punish severely, to correct the discipline of the court, to correct the decadent wind. ”

≡ Zhu was just about to open his mouth, but Kangxi said coldly: "That's enough, all of them will be fined for one year, what I want is not for you to admit your guilt, tell me how to deal with it?" ”

When he heard that he was only fined for one year, Ma Qi and the others were relieved, but Fu Ningan felt unjustly panicked, and only entered the study yesterday, and this morning, he didn't even have to say a word, so he was fined for a year, and he was a little unlucky.

For how to deal with this case, the six people didn't dare to talk nonsense, who didn't know that behind these scoundrels in the market were the children of the clan who were backing, this opening would offend all the royal clansmen, noble ministers, do you want to live in the future?

Seeing that a few people were silent, Kangxi asked in a deep voice: "Are your sons and nephews involved?" ”

"The minions don't dare." Ma Qi hurriedly kowtowed.

Zhang Pengxi also followed: "Weichen and others have received the grace of the Holy Grace, and they have very strict restrictions on their family members, and they follow the rules in and out, how dare they do such illegal things." ”

"Hmph." Kangxi snorted: "Since it has nothing to do with you, why can't any of the six ministers in the study room come up with a proper way to deal with it?" ”

Seeing that Kangxi was about to thunder and rage, Ma Qi glanced at several other people, and saw that no one had the intention of speaking, so he had to speak: "Your Majesty, the bad impact of this case is really rare, and it must be severely punished, otherwise it is not enough to anger the people, and it is not enough to save the reputation of the court, but this case involves too wide, once it is severely punished, it will hurt the emperor's benevolence as much as heaven, and it will also violate the emperor's purpose of leniency in government. ”

Yinzhen laughed secretly when he heard it, Ma Qi deserved to be an old oilman, and he said a lot of awe-inspiring justice, but it was pure nonsense, and if he said it, it was equivalent to not saying it, he naturally knew what these ministers of the study were afraid of, and it was not easy for them to bear the children of the noble clans who were involved in such a wide range of clans.

When Kangxi heard this, he said coldly: "If you connive at the children of the clan to harm the people, you are not afraid of the benevolence of the heavens?" I am asking local officials to be lenient, and more is better than less, that is to worry that the local officials will have nothing to do, and the people will be harmed, not to the country and the people, and to the people The giant beetle of the country who knocks out the bones and sucks the marrow of the people is also lenient! It's not that everything is lenient everywhere! Seeing that Kangxi had a tendency to be angry, the six ministers of the study all bowed their heads and bowed their heads, and lowered their bodies, Yinzhen swept a few ministers of the study like ostriches, and looked at Kangxi with a cold face, he didn't dare to be at ease, he hurriedly got up and left his seat, knelt down and said: "The body of the emperor Ama Wanjin, and don't be angry because of this, the sons are not talented, and they are willing to work with the starling, the ninth brother, and the tenth brother to thoroughly investigate this case, rectify the law and order of the Jingshi, share the worries of the emperor, and eradicate the silverfish that harm the people of the capital." ”

As soon as they saw Yinzhen take the initiative to invite Sakura, the six ministers of the study couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then they were extremely surprised, isn't the fourteenth master afraid of enemies on all sides? Not afraid of losing people's hearts?

Kangxi was also stunned when he heard this, the old fourteen actually took the initiative to take this hot potato, and also brought the old eighty-three people out together, it seems that he is not fake, is he wrong, the old fourteen has no other purpose, that is, he simply wants to rectify the security of the capital? Can't he see the danger behind this?

Thinking of the old fourteen's insistence on being strict, and so strict that even he could not accept it, Kangxi couldn't help but hesitate for a while, this matter can't be left to the old fourteen's temperament, if it is as wanton and strict as that, and he is deposed from the clan and exiled to Australia, within a few days, the capital will be full of complaints, and all the royal family relatives and noble ministers are afraid that they will come to sue the emperor.

Seeing that Kangxi was indecisive, Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Huang Ama, the impact and harm of this case are so bad that it is needless to say, only severe punishment can restore the reputation of the royal family and the imperial court."

Yesterday, there are a lot of well-informed clan relatives to inquire about the news on the son's house, the son of the minister once said, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, the fundamental reason is that the descendants are not good, the dynasty has been in charge of the Central Plains for more than 70 years, and now it is the critical time for the wealthy families to go through the third and fourth generations, if these unsuccessful descendants are allowed to act recklessly, within two generations, the building will fall.

However, the Qing Dynasty is now in a period of vigorous development, which is the golden age for the children of the majority of clans to make contributions and win the title of future merit, and it is also a great opportunity for the wealthy families to set a century-old foundation.

Erchen vigorously advocated the rectification of public order in the capital and severely punished the children of the clan who were bold and reckless, not for personal gain, but in fact the children of the noble clan had reached the point where they had to be rectified, otherwise, after decades of peace and prosperity, the children of the noble clan had nothing to do except walk the dog and play with birds, fight insects and gamble, let alone pull a hard bow and ride a fierce horse?

At that time, once there is a stir, can the imperial court still rely on these children who play dogs and birds all day long, fight insects and gamble to serve the country? The sons implored the emperor Ama to plan for the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and vigorously rectify the noble children of the clan. ”

All the ministers of the upper study were embarrassed when they heard this, and they only thought that the rectification of the children of the sect would offend people, why didn't they think that there would be great benefits? After the Fourteenth Master said this, this has become a good thing, and the rectification of these unsuccessful clan disciples has become a measure to revitalize the prosperity of the family? The fourteenth master's perspective on the problem is indeed very different from ordinary people.

Kangxi was also stunned when he heard it, although the old fourteenth said it was quite far-fetched, but it was indeed reasonable, in this way, not all the nobles of the clan would fiercely oppose it, then the matter would be much easier, but the punishment of the old fourteen was still too strict, even if he said it again, once those clans knew his punishment plan, they were afraid that they would have to jump up and oppose it.

However, the punishment is not in a hurry, let's rectify it first, and then talk about it, and it is not too late to discuss the specific punishment plan in the future, and glanced at the ministers who bowed their heads to the study, Kangxi asked: "What is your opinion?" ”

Seeing Yinzhen's statement, Zhang Pengxi hesitated, and immediately said: "The fourteenth master has a unique vision and far-reaching thoughts, rectifying the security of the capital, severely punishing the children of the clan who harm the people and violate the law and discipline, which is not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also beneficial to the nobles of the clan. He said this, Xiao Yongzao and Ma Qi were not far behind, and they seconded the proposal, Song Zhu, Wang Ling, and Fu Ningan had nothing to do with themselves anyway, since Kangxi agreed, they naturally would not contradict it, and they all followed suit.

Kangxi nodded slightly, and then said: "The fourteenth son of the emperor Yinzhen, the eighth son of the emperor Yinzhen, the ninth son of the emperor Yinzhen, and the tenth son of the emperor Yinzhen have rectified the security of the capital, thoroughly investigated the case of private collection of miscellaneous taxes, and the case of the outflow of short-term firearms." The infantry army commanded the yamen, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the Shuntianfu fully cooperated to investigate as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that Kangxi finally agreed, Yinzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Erchen's honor." ”

Seeing that this big case was finally implemented, all the ministers of the study couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, this case, to say that only the fourteenth master is the most ideal, ordinary people can't take it down at all, if they are put in charge of this case, then I really don't know how it will die.

After this matter was settled, Kangxi's expression eased a lot, and he glanced at everyone before saying, "Kneel down." ”

As soon as he left the palace, Yinzhen ordered the guards to gather the relevant people and wait until the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, gathered, and he ascended the sedan chair and went to Chongwenmen.

Although he didn't need to go to the early dynasty, Long Keduo was abnormal, he rushed to the yamen to do things early, and after arranging all the affairs properly, he stayed in the study to sip tea and eat breakfast, but he didn't have a bottom in his heart, and there was such a big leak, if Kangxi blamed him, he, the commander of the nine gates, would be the end.

Hearing that the fourteenth master was coming, Long Keduo hurriedly came out, and as soon as he came out of the courtyard and saw Yinzhen, he hurried a few steps, and said neatly: "Xiaguan Long Keduo will ask the fourteenth master to say goodbye." ”

Yinzhen smiled: "You came early today." ”

"There's something in my heart, where can I sleep." Long Keduo smiled embarrassedly, seeing that Yinzhen was dressed neatly in a court gown and still hanging a pearl, knowing that he had just come out of the palace, he hurriedly bowed down and smiled: "The fourteenth master doesn't need to be early, please inside, I'll make a pot of tea immediately, and then go get some early." ”

After he said this, Yinzhen really felt a little hungry, so he immediately stepped into the signing room, and after sitting down, he said: "Call them to be sharp, the emperor has issued an order, and I and the starlings will thoroughly investigate the case, and the other infantry army will lead the Yamen, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Shuntian Mansion to fully cooperate, and I have already sent the guards to pass on the others." ”

As soon as he heard that the Fourteenth Master was in charge of this case, Long Keduo was greatly relieved, and immediately walked to the door and ordered loudly: "Hurry up and go to Longfu Temple and Huguo Temple to get some early, fried liver, bean juice, japonica rice porridge, burnt cake, fire burning, baked cakes, steamed cakes, and a few servings of noodle tea." ”

Listening to Long Keduo report so many in one breath, and he still needs several copies, Yinzhen couldn't help but joke: "It's just happy, you don't have to open an early shop in the infantry barracks." ”

"Huh." Long Keduo chuckled: "The fourteenth master didn't use it early, and it is estimated that the eighth master didn't use it, so I prepared it together, which saved trouble." ”

"That's thoughtful." Yinzhen nodded and said, "I asked you to find out yesterday, how is the situation?" ”

When it came to business, Long Keduo removed the smile on his face, and replied: "Back to the Fourteenth Master, Xia Guan held a meeting overnight yesterday to summarize the situation, and the general situation has been figured out. ”

"Yes." Yinzhen was very satisfied and said, "You show me the summary situation." ”

"Wow." Roncodo bowed in response, then took out a copy of the fold from the drawer and handed it over.

After reading the summary of the situation, after eating breakfast, the eighth elder brother Yinzhen, the ninth elder brother Yinzhen, and the tenth elder brother Yinzhen rushed over, and heard that the emperor had ordered four people to be responsible for the case, Yinzhen couldn't help but chuckle and said: "The relationship is good, this year will be lively." ”

"What's going on this year?" Thirteenth Elder Brother Yinxiang stepped in and asked with a smile.

"Why is Thirteen here?" Yin Qi laughed.

"Hey, the fourteenth brother said that I was bored in the house, and sent me to help a few brothers." Yinxiang said with a smile, took a glass of bean juice and another baked cake as he spoke, and said, "Even the early ones are ready, the fourteenth brother is really considerate." ”

"I don't dare to be greedy, this is what Long Keduo has prepared for you." Yinzhen said with a smile: "However, there is good news for you." ”

When Yinxiang heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Huang Ama agreed to let me go to Europe?" ”

"Not really." Yinzhen chuckled and said: "The fourth brother should be decided to go to Europe, you, Huang Ama still has to think about it." ”

Yes? Yinxiang drooped his face suddenly, took a bite of the baked cake fiercely, and said vaguely: "This is also called good news?" ”

"Be content." Yin Yi smiled and said, "Otherwise, let's change, and I'll go to the navy to have fun." ”

Yin Yu also smiled: "As soon as you say, I also want to go to Nanyang." ”……，
