Wei Xiangshu's words are thousands of words, and the tone of words is stern and generous, which is like a "Discussion of Jin Fuxuan", but it is specially designed for the new opening of the Fu River and the canal connecting the Qin River. It is full of stories about Chen should not bind the river to flush sand and block the river, and it is also said that Jin Fu listened to the lies of the people, took the national economy and people's livelihood as a child's play, and built the so-called water reduction dam, which is simply a deviant monster! Wei Xiangshu is worthy of Hanlin's handwriting, the whole article is incisive, full of energy, and he turned over at the end of his breath and said:

Jin Fu asked for a major repair of the Yellow River, which cost more than 200,000 and more than 500,000 yuan in national currency. The subjects of the world are like the clouds of hope for a great drought, looking forward to it for several years, and the emperor sends the trust of his heart, and he earnestly hopes that the river will be clear. The governor has built seven out of ten embankments in the prelude, and now he has opened rivers to dredge Qin and transport, and the so-called "once and for all" people are safe?

Reading this extremely beautiful rhetoric, Jin Fu couldn't help sneering in his heart: The Kaifu River is connected to Qinyun, in order to increase the flow of the canal, Wei Xiangshu has never seen the dam at all, so he is involved in it, and no matter how good the article is, it is nonsense. So Jin Fu put down the fold, his heart was crossed, he sat down casually, and said in thought: "Master Yi, my brother has browsed. Fang Cai has already said that he is guilty, and now he has added Xiao Jiadu's defeat, which is even more guilty than the sky, and should be punished together. ”

"When my brother left Beijing, the emperor did not give instructions." Isan Ah rolled up her slightly puffy eye bubbles and looked at Jin Fu, "There is only one thing, Suo Xiang and Ming Xiang ask Zihuan to pay more attention." The fields that have dried up from the lakes of Shanyang, Baoying, Gaoyou, and Jiangdu Sichuan will be just if they are temporarily used to raise the river. For it was the land of the Lord, and I heard that it was sold. This official seized the people's land, but it's amazing! ”

This matter actually spread to Beijing! Chen Huang was listening, and a cloud of anger suddenly rose in his chest: These landlords, when they were governing the river, raised money and raised money, standing on the dry bank and watching the river rise. As soon as 4,000 hectares of fields were silted out, and more than half of them could not be cultivated, they pounced on them like hungry dogs! Because of the minister's discussion, his identity couldn't be interjected, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally felt unbearable, so he said loudly to Feng Zhiren beside him: "There is no wonder in the real world. said that if our river is broken, since it is the fault of the river ministers, we should throw it into the river to feed the fish; We silted up the fertile land and sold it to the river workers to raise the river, and said that we were the tyrants and thieves! It is true that the river will die, and the river will die if it is not cured. But when will you live? It must be said: first eat all day long without learning and no skills, and then pick and grind Shen Wen Zhouna, then the name of the virtuous minister will be gained! ”

Isana didn't expect a small staff member to mock himself on this occasion. Isan Ah was in a high position in his prime, and when he first became a scholar, he traveled on behalf of the sky, and originally followed Kangxi's instructions to learn from the prime minister's measurement, but he was ridiculed by his subordinates in public, how to endure it? When he stared at Chen Huang, Gege smiled and said, "It's so angry!" Dare to ask the surname Gao? Did I say that Jin Fu was a tyrant and a thief? The country ruled the river for the people, and the acres of land should naturally be returned to the landlord, which is a matter of course, am I not right? ”

"If you ask questions, you dare not say anything - Hui Qin's words: Student Chen Huang!" Chen Huang leaned back and said, "The country has been using troops for many years, and the emperor entrusted the major affairs of the general river to Lord Jin when the economy was tight, how dare we have the slightest neglect?" Although the adult did not directly say that Lord Jin bullied the people and dominated the field, he meant it in his words. When the students heard this, they couldn't help but argue with themselves: most of this field was renamed in the former Ming Dynasty, and the water has been flooding for decades, and the personnel are chaotic, and it has long been impossible to distinguish the landlord from the land. Since the state spends money to take land out of the river, the state is the landlord! Even the original landlord did not contribute to the control of the river, nor did he contribute money, and now he wants to redeem the land. What's the problem with taking a few taels of silver? ”

"What are you talking about?" Cui Yawu was reprimanded by Kangxi, and he had the intention of looking for trouble, but when he heard Chen Huang's words, he asked tightly: "The state government has picked up people's wealth, don't you want to repay the original owner?" ”

Jin Fu secretly thought that if he didn't block the words of this land grabbing and hegemony at this time, not only would it be difficult to be convicted, but also if he dried up the field again, he would be snatched up immediately. The river is already in debt, so what can be used to encourage the migrant workers to govern the river? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the matter was important, and I couldn't help but look up to this angel, so I said coldly: "This field was not picked up by the imperial court for nothing, it was 'spent half of the country's gold' in exchange, that is, if Li Zicheng destroyed the former Ming Dynasty, and our dynasty destroyed Li Zicheng, this is the emperor's gift of Huaxia to the Holy Lord - could it be said that because the Ming Dynasty is the original owner of the world, he will return this blood and sweat to the Zhu family?" ”

Jin Fubi came up with this big topic, which was the most taboo in the imperial court, and the old man in Jiangnan chattered endlessly, and no one dared to say anything for a while. After a while, Song Wenyun asked: "Why hasn't Jackie Chan come yet?" A Goshha in front of the door hurriedly said: "Lord Yu is cold, and his body is so hot that he can't get up." For a while, he was speechless.

Ethan A's face changed early, and because he couldn't find the words to refute Jin Fu, he said dryly: "Xiao Jiadu's matter, I don't know what to do with my brother." Jin Fu knew that he was embarrassed, and replied cautiously: "Fu has already submitted a self-impeachment form, asking the emperor for permission to compensate for the property, and waiting for the emperor's will to act." ”

"Lord Jin is really a rich official!" Iraka smiled and said uncoolly, "Can a huge project like Xiaojiadu afford to make up for it?" ”

Jin Fu was waiting to answer, and the doorman outside the hall came in with a letter of greeting in gold, and said to Qian'er: "There is a master outside, please see your lord." When Jin Fu took the post and read it, the first line of fine words on it was very straight, writing:

Jin Gong Zihuan. The foolish godbrother Wei Dongting smoked Mu and knocked carefully

Jin Fu couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly got up and returned the post to the soldiers, and said: "I don't dare to bear the original post, and Brother Huchen will return it, please!" After saying that, he waved to Isana and the others, and hurried out.

Ethan Ah is consulting Jin Fu here as a messenger, and when he sees what kind of "adult" he will go out with, the boss in his heart is not happy. Na Yiraka stayed in the Internal Affairs Mansion, but he knew the details, and hurriedly said: "Huchen is Wei Dongting, the governor of the customs of the four provinces, please welcome your lordship too." This Ethan Ah believed that he was an angel and refused to condescend, so he only nodded with a smile and said, "Huchen, I know." ”

Wei Dongting is a very big person. He was originally Emperor Kangxi's personal foreman and guard, and his mother Sun was Kangxi's nursing mother. From the first year of Kangxi to the seventeenth year, Wei Dongting drove every day, never leaving an inch, and repeatedly escorted and drove in the capture of Ao worship and the withdrawal of the "three feudatories", and he was named a marquis early, with three eyes and flowers, yellow coats, and the sword of the Son of Heaven. Among the foreign officials, he is the only one who has a good understanding of the nine documents, but he never interferes in the local administration, although he met Jin Fu a few times in Nanjing, he only nodded his head and made friends - what did he do when he came to the river governor yamen? Jin Fu tossed in his heart, and when he saw that Wei Dongting had entered the Yi Gate, he laughed loudly: "Brother Huchen, you really act differently!" Tsing Yi cloth robes and small sedan chairs are floating in, there is really the wind of the forest, isn't it enviable? I heard that my brother went out in Nanjing, and often took a book to read in the sedan chair, so studious, and I was ashamed! ”

"Where is the best thing to learn!" Wei Dongting smiled, "I'm not a magistrate, when I go out, the people always bow and salute when they see it, I really deserve it, and I just hold a book as a cover to cover my shame!" Saying that, the two of them joined hands to ascend, and asked again: "Zihuan, I heard that the Qin Cha is here with you, why didn't you see it?" Only then did Isan Ah get up to meet him, bowed and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, why didn't I see you in Nanjing?" Jin Fu hurriedly introduced everyone one by one.

Wei Dongting looked at the four courtiers with a smile, bowed one by one, and said humbly: "Brother was originally the emperor's clothed servant, and he came back from Guangzhou. Because I heard that Lord Qincha is here, I am worried about the body of my master, so I have come to ask for peace! As he spoke, he bowed and asked Kangxi for peace. That Ethan Anan accepted the salute, glanced at everyone comfortably, helped Wei Dongting to get up with both hands, and asked with a smile: "Lord Huchen, you just came back from the field, and the servants came to ask the emperor for peace. Wei Dongting pondered Isang's words, as if he had the taste of asking him what he meant, he smiled, and said: "Wei Mou came to meet the angel, please ask the master to be safe; Second, I heard that Xiao Jiadu was defeated, and by the way, I took a look at Zihuan and Zhenjia Ergong, what are the difficulties. As soon as the embankment was broken, the people were given relief and the project had to be repaired, and the brother brought 200,000 silver from the customs and lent it to the river workers temporarily. It's just a drop in the bucket, and it's just a small supplement. ”

Wei Dongting was humble and polite, and he spoke lightly, and he was very sure. In his capacity, it is definitely not a joke. For a while, not only Jin Fu, Isan A, etc., but even Chen Huang and others were all dumbfounded. It took Ethan Ah to come back to his senses for a long time, and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, you can really send charcoal in the snow!" Wei Dongting heard that there was a thorn in his words, but he was deeply involved in the world and never caused trouble, so he said: "Where do you dare to send charcoal in the snow, are they all sent by the emperor?" I can help there, but it's hard to sit idly by. As he spoke, he took out the silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Jin Fudao, "Just ask them to go to the Nanjing Customs Mansion to withdraw the silver." ”

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right?" Isana suddenly felt humiliated. This Wei Dongting was killed halfway, it was too inexplicable. I couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile, "I demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, but what about the east wall?" Iraka ate tea and pretended to be deaf, Cui Yawu was ignorant, so he took the opportunity to say cool words: "It seems that officials have to make good friends, have good relatives, and have a good relationship when there is something!" Song Wenyun paced to an inconspicuous corner of the hall and gossiped with Chen Huang, Feng Zhiren and Peng Xueren.

"Master Cui, what are you talking about?" Wei Dongting listened to Cui Yawu's words, which was really inauthentic, and suddenly turned his face and asked. Although he smiled, Cui Yawu was so stunned by his eyes that he didn't dare to repeat his words. Ethan Ah said: "The river governor and the customs are not related, the adults are so generous, no wonder Lord Cui is suspicious, even if it is a student, I think it is incredible." ”

"As soon as I came in, I said, this is the emperor's mission." Wei Dongting was preoccupied with calming things and hurriedly explained. But Isan Ah didn't appreciate it, and immediately said: "But the emperor didn't decree to take care of the river affairs!" ”

"The emperor's decree only asked the adults to inspect the Caoyun, and he didn't ask you to interfere in the river affairs!"

Wei Dongting let go again and again, and finally was annoyed, his face changed suddenly, his eyes were on fire, and he said: "The river embankment has burst, the river governor should be punished, what is the crime of the people?" I, Wei Dongting, am the governor, and the river and sea affairs are already connected, so I will help with a few taels of silver, what does it mean that my lord is so picky? ”

"I'm Chincha!" Isang Ah was speechless, screwed his neck, and sneered, "Jin Fu Gu dereliction of duty, defeated Xiao Jiadu, and drowned more than 70 townships-come!" ”

"Wow!"

"Remove his crown!"

This sudden thunderous fury stunned everyone. Chen Huang and the others hurriedly withdrew from the hall and stood under the corridor, their faces all snow-white. Jin Fu knelt down calmly, waved his hand to stop Goshha who came up to pick up the top, took off his hat, twisted the coral top with a trembling hand and handed it over, and said in his mouth: "Minister, obey the order!" Wei Dongting shouted beside him:

"Slow!"

If the top of the first and second rank of the Qinchage is not served, except in an emergency, it is necessary to ask for an order. Issan's move was an ultra vires, and he wanted to show Wei Dongting a dismissal. Of course, Wei Dongting understood, and suddenly trembled with anger, took a step forward, and said with a smile on his face: "Please stay away for the time being." ”

"Hmm, hmm?" Ethan was furious, "What qualifications do you have for me to recuse myself? ”

Wei Dongting's face was gloomy, and he said word by word: "I am under the emperor's secret order, and I have something to ask Jin Fu!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at each other. But since it was the emperor's secret edict, it was something that no one had to avoid, so everyone got up and solemnly retreated. Ethan didn't expect Wei Dongting to have this hand, his face was blue and red, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, his lips trembled for a long time, Fang stood up helplessly, bowed to Wei Dongting, but retreated. Seeing that he was extremely embarrassed, Wei Dongting took two steps, patted Ethan on the shoulder at the door of the hall, and said sincerely: "Brother Ren, think about it, it's not that you forced me to be impossible, how can I be willing to do this?" Dongting has followed the emperor for many years, and he knows that he is a master who cannot be deceived - he has to think about this often when he does anything, and he must not act rashly and incur guilt on himself...... "Isana only glanced blankly at Jin Fu, who had not had time to remove his crown, nodded, and dragged out with lead-filled steps. Wei Dongting turned around and came back, staring at Jin Fu silently.

There were only two of them left in the hall, one kneeling and the other standing, and they did not speak for a long time, except for the unhurried and rhythmic ringing of the imperial bell.

"Jin Fu," Wei Dongting said, "Dongting asked you by order." ”

"Chen Jin Fu." Jin Fu knocked his head three times, "Listen to the Hadith!" ”

Wei Dongting unfolded the fold. Every ten days, he had a routine secret folding and direct performance of Kangxi, and he was all thoughtful about the weather, the price of rice, the taxation of river affairs, the competition in officialdom, factional disputes, literary scholarship, and even local anecdotes, jokes, and the performance of a certain play in a certain place. The heavens and earth, corners, and lines in the excerpt are full of Kangxi's annotations. Wei Dongting picked out the comments related to Jin Fu and interrogated them one by one. As:

Someone once played Jin Fu for not planting trees on the river embankment against his order, and you can ask him why? How did the governor ensure that the levee was safe from the autumn floods?

The boat went north into the area of Luoma Lake, and more than 20 ships capsized this year, and asked Jin Fu if he had any good plan to buffer this section of the road......

The government and the opposition did not think so, and I couldn't read it in person, and I was very sad. Er Ke asked Jin Fu, this move can be done in ancient times, can it reduce water? You can go to the river to have a look, and if you need help, you can borrow a little from the customs for the time being......

There are more than a dozen. Only Xiao Jiadu Kangxi didn't know, and he hadn't asked yet.

Wei Dongting listened carefully to Jin Fuyi's arguments, nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please get up." As far as I can see, since there is no way to reduce the dam, and there will be such a big collapse this autumn, it seems that we should be cautious. The next day, I will see a few places on the spot, and then play the Ming Shengshang - more than 1,300 people drowned at the Xiaojiadu crossing, and Ge Li has already done it. If you have any performance that is inconvenient for the court to play, you can tell me, and I can do it on your behalf. ”

Jin Fu glanced at Wei Dongting in surprise, and saw that Wei Dongting's expression was calm and calm, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be pondering all the time. Jin Fu couldn't help but wonder: What a character! I knew this was the case, why bother with Mingzhu, only dealing with the surname Wei, how reliable! Thinking about it, he leaned over and said, "My lord has said this, which shows his love." Jin does have an unspeakable hidden ......", so he elaborated on the fierce argument with Yu Jackie Chan.

"Don't get me wrong, sir." Wei Dongting seemed to see Jin Fu's thoughts, and said with a smile, "I, like adults, are all servants of the emperor, and I should be sincere." Customs and river transportation are intertwined, and it is the duty to act truthfully for adults. After General Shi Lang entered the court for training, the sailor Keri went south. The war in Taiwan is about to start, and the emperor ordered me to coordinate the grain and straw, and I can't help but care! ”

Hearing this, Jin Fu was a bit like a soothing and a bit like a refutation, he couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Although Xiao Jiadu has decided, please play on my behalf, I have a remedy-" He glanced at Wei Dongting, who was silent, "After next spring, the dam can be repaired without the imperial court adding silver taels." At this time, I was afraid that the saint would say that I was evading punishment, so I had to say that I would make up for it with my family property. ”

"Huh?"

"This collapse is actually caused by the unfinished Xiaojiadu Dam project, and my responsibility cannot be shirked." Jin Fu said according to the plan agreed with Chen Huang and the others, "The flow of water in Xiaojiadu is 1,500 in an instant, and the water level of the Qingjiang River drops by seven feet, and the flow in the river drops to 950 in an instant. That is to say, five hundred and fifty streams of yellow water flow from Xiao Jiadu to the lower river every instant. The land under the river has become a swamp since the Yongle period, and once the yellow water passes, 2,500 hectares of silt fields can be accorded. These terra nullius were sold for three taels of silver per acre, and they were worth seven hundred and fifty thousand pieces of silver. Silver for work, repair the dam is more than self-sufficient......"

"I don't understand." Wei Dongting's gaze was a little melancholy. "It's such a good thing, why not take precautions? If the water had been released into the river the year before last, wouldn't it have saved hundreds of thousands of silver? ”

Jin Fu listened and hurriedly said: "This is where my plan is not well-planned, my lord asked well, I have nothing to say - it is really after the collapse, after careful consideration, I have to understand that there is a compensation in the collapse - I didn't dare to write it in the fold of self-impeachment." I would like to ask Lord Huchen to make Jin Fu aware of his guilt. ”

"That's all I have to ask." Wei Dongting stretched his body, took a sip of tea and sat down, and said with a smile, "Zihuan, I'll gossip, you just have to listen to it—why did you get a woman to bring to Beijing and insist that people recognize your relatives?" ”

Jin Fu was stunned for a long time before he remembered that it was Xiuzhi, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Huchen, did you hear this?" What did the emperor say? Wei Dongting smiled: "It doesn't matter who said it." I think you are an honest person, and you can take care of this kind of thing, which is a big taboo. If it were me, I would spend a few silver to raise their mother and son first, and look at the opportunity to settle the knot in private, he is also good-looking, and you have fulfilled their family, why not make everyone's hearts woe? ”

Jin Fu suddenly remembered that Mingzhu took in Xiuzhi, but he didn't see the letter, and he didn't hear that Li Guangdi recognized his relatives, what kind of medicine was in this gourd? He opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to ask: there were too many people here, and he didn't dare.

"I'm just talking about it, it's not a national event, it's not a big deal." Wei Dongting laughed, "Please come to Lord Yi - after the business is done, the wine is thirsty and thirsty, Zihuan Gong, you have to do the friendship of the landlord!" ”
