Sure enough, as Yinzhen expected, at this moment, the prince was in his Yuqing Palace, analyzing Kangxi's intentions in today's Jinluan Palace with a group of ministers, the prince sat on the chair, looking at the ministers below expressing their opinions, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Eight Belle Mansion, Eighth Elder Brother, Ninth Elder Brother, and Tenth Elder Brother were chatting in the living room, and there was a maid ring in front of the Ninth Elder Brother and the Tenth Elder Brother who was gently rubbing their legs, while Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi stood in front of the window and looked at a pot of orchids for a long time and was silent.

At this time, while enjoying Yahuan helping him rub his legs, Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu asked, "I said Starling, do you think Huang Ama wants to deal with the prince?" Qi Shiwu's money has all been secretly added to Tuoheqi's military expenses, should we take precautions against Tuoheqi?

I really don't understand, when you asked Xu Yuanmeng and the three of them to play today, why didn't you let the three of them mention the matter of military spending? If you had told me about military spending at that time, I believe that the second child would have been finished by now, and we would have lost a good opportunity in vain. ”

After hearing this, Yinxi slowly turned around and said with a smile: "Things are not so simple, if we poke out the matter of military expenses today, Huang Ama will not only not deal with the crown prince, but will defend him." ”

"Why is that? What is the difference between conniving at the minister's corruption** and then raising soldiers with stolen money, and rebellion? The second child did such a thing, why did Huang Ama still defend him? Brother Ten wondered.

"Why? Because Yinren is the crown prince and the prince of the country. If it is known to the world, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not only condone officials to bend the law for bribes, but even to the point of using their power to do business.

If this matter spreads, what will others think of my love for the Xinjueluo family? Ordinary people still know that family ugliness should not be publicized, let alone us. Yinxi chuckled and answered the question.

"But what does Huang Ama think?" The tenth elder brother frowned and asked, "If you want to say that Huang Ama doesn't want to move the crown prince, right?" But he just punished Qi Shiwu. If he wants to move the prince, right? When he ordered someone to investigate Qi Shiwu's case, Huang Ama specially instructed him to investigate the case on a special basis, only to investigate corruption and bend the law, and not to investigate other cases, what is this doing? ”

After hearing this, Yinxi walked to his side, and also frowned: "Foolish brother is also very puzzled about this, originally I used Qi Shiwu to throw stones to ask for directions, and wanted to find out Huang Ama's attitude, but I never thought that Huang Ama would take such a move, it is really incomprehensible, what does Huang Ama want to deal with the prince?" Or do you want to continue to support the prince? ”

Around the time of Shen Shi in the afternoon, in the Qingyi Hall of the Forbidden City, Kangxi was lying on the couch, listening to an old eunuch wearing a sleeved arrow python robe report with his eyes slightly closed. ”

Hearing this, Kangxi waved his hand at the old eunuch: "Li Defu, you have worked hard, I heard that you have been unwell recently?" When I go back, I will ask the Imperial Doctor to send you some tonic medicine, you can make up for your body, and then you will check that matter, and if the situation is true, you will report it to me immediately. ”

Seeing that Kangxi cared so much about himself, the old eunuch known as Li Defu immediately knelt down with emotion: "Old slave, thank you for your concern, this greeting from the saint is more effective than any panacea, please rest assured, even if the old slave fights this skin, he will definitely find out that matter." ”

"Alright, you can step back first." After giving this order, Kangxi said to the little eunuch: "Xuan Li Guangdi come in." ”

When Li Guangdi came to the front and back of Kangxi's bed, he first knelt down and saluted, and after the big salute, he bowed down and asked, "I don't know what the saint called the old minister to come?" ”

"Raw, what's going on with the Inspectorate? Did those cases go well? Kangxi did not answer Li Guangdi's words, but turned the question to the Inspectorate.

"The Inspectorate is still relatively smooth, some cases can already be closed, the Inspectorate is currently investigating Qi Shiwu's case, according to the instructions of the Holy Lord, when we investigate, we will grasp the proportions, and the old minister knows what should be investigated and what should not be investigated." After saying this, Li Guangdi's face showed an expression of wanting to say something.

After looking at the expression on Li Guangdi's face, Kangxi chuckled and said, "What? Do you have something to ask me? ”

Hearing Kangxi's inquiry, Li Guangdi said respectfully: "Don't dare to deceive the saint, the old minister does have something unclear, and now the imperial court is investigating official corruption, today in the Jinluan Palace, when Qi Shiwu presented the list of officials who took bribes, why did the saint not even look at it, so he burned the list?" ”

After hearing this, Kangxi glanced at Li Guangdi, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and turned a little serious: "Because I don't want to arrest those officials and punish them, if I read the roster, then the officials in the court and the central government from the fifth grade or above will be removed by two-thirds, and I can't afford this price."

And the most important point, even if I don't look at that roster, I know that the officials recorded in that roster must be the third, fourth, eighth, ninth, tenth, and fourteenth people.

After I have disposed of Qi Shiwu, if I let the Inspectorate investigate, I am afraid that Yinren should be anxious again, and in this way, Yinren and they will also take the opportunity to fall into the ground, and when the time comes, once the people from Yinren's camp and Yinren's camp fight each other, no matter who loses or wins, the court will definitely be greatly injured, so I can't give them this opportunity.

I called you here, but I have something to discuss with you, Geng Er, the secretary of the military department, has been mediocre and embarrassed in recent years, and I want to draw up a new candidate to replace Geng E, do you have a suitable candidate? ”

After Li Guangdi heard this, although his expression did not change, there were waves in his heart, and he said in his heart: "Tian Wenshun, the governor of Hebei, has been investigated by the Inspectorate because of his greed for money. Hu Yingzhong, the governor of Zhili, was placed under house arrest in disguise. The two lieutenants of Tuo Heqi, the commander of the infantry army, were replaced by adult Tang Yao and Tong Ling'a. Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had just been killed. Now that the saint has taken the sword from the military department again, is it? Long live the prince who wants to be abolished? ”

When Kangxi was planning to replace the candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Hua was called to the Thirteen Baylor Mansion by Yinxiang, and after watching Liu Hua step into the mansion, Yinxiang looked at Liu Hua back and forth, and then joked: "This time it came empty-handed?"

I said you kid is a very shrewd person, why didn't you know to buy some gifts when you came to me? Since you are so ignorant, then you are welcome, don't stay in Yangzhou Mansion when you go back, go to Shengjing for a while, it will help you thrive and help you learn to be sophisticated. ”

"Poof......" After hearing this, Liu Hua almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he hurriedly ran to Yinxiang: "Thirteenth Master, you're not joking, are you?" Let me go to Shengjing? Northeast Nagada? I'm doing a good job in Yangzhou, what are I doing there? Don't go, don't go, I don't say anything I'm going to go. ”
