When he arrived at Prince Yu's mansion, the people in the mansion welcomed Kangxi to Fuquan's room.

As soon as Kangxi entered the house, he sat down on the edge of the bed with the support of the servants.

He looked at Fuquan lying on the hospital bed, his face was sallow and sallow, without a trace of anger.

Obviously lying flat like that, sweat the size of a bean oozed from his forehead, as if he had done a lot of hard work.

Kangxi waved his hand and sent all the people in the house away before he said, "Old brother, I have come to see you." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Fuquan opened his eyes slightly.

But he had more than enough heart, and even if he tried a lot, his eyes were only half-squinted.

"Here ......" Fuquan said in vicissitudes.

Seeing him like this, Kangxi's sophisticated eyes suddenly turned scarlet.

"Old brother, I can't stand you, I should have left you in the capital and let you spend your old age in peace."

"The minister has an old bone, and he can't be idle...... I like to crusade with the emperor against those thieves...... "Fuquan said weakly, "It's the emperor, you are the emperor, this time the dragon body was damaged, it was the minister's dereliction of duty......"

Kangxi sighed, was silent for a while, and then said: "Neither of our brothers is afraid of death, but those jackals, tigers and leopards that cannot be exterminated, and they covet the Qing Dynasty." Now that I am also old, I have long put life and death aside, and there is only one thing, I want to ask my brother. ”

"Your Majesty, please say ......"

"In the past, I always thought that I could still fight and govern the Qing Dynasty. But since I returned to Beijing, my body and bones have deteriorated day by day, and I realized that I need to establish a prince with good character. ”

Kangxi said and paused slightly, "But those officials in the court have long had their good reliance, and now these words can only tell you, you have always been a selfless person, I want to hear what you think." ”

As an important minister, a few years ago, they each had a supporting elder brother.

If he asked, maybe it was still the same as a few years ago, most of them supported the eighth.

Because the eighth person is used to winning people's hearts.

Even if he is reduced to a commoner, there are still a lot of people attached to him.

Therefore, what those people say is not credible.

But what Fuquan said, it was different.

This is Kangxi's trusted elder brother, and his words are also good.

"Since the emperor trusts the minister, the minister wants to recommend the eighth elder brother to you." Fu Quan took a few heavy breaths.

"What! It's just that those officials were bought by him, and now, are you even bought by him? ”

Fuquan shook his head and said, "It's not about bribery, it's just that a few years ago, I was seriously ill, and when the eighth elder brother served me in the mansion, I felt his sincerity and benevolence. In addition, there are some things that the minister wants to dare to tell the truth, and it may be ...... will offend the emperor. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The eighth elder brother grew up under the watch, he had both ability and political integrity when he was a child, loved and helped each other with his brothers, and was benevolent, righteous and benevolent, and because of this, he was respected and supported by the officials, and became the rafter of the prince, in the same way, these good behaviors are also his shortcomings, if he is really guilty, it is also a crime of virtue, or a crime of outstanding virtue."

At this moment, Fuquan was like those ordinary elders, protecting the eighth master.

After all, what elder doesn't like filial piety and gentleness?

Kangxi felt that he was about to lose his breath.

Fortunately, Fuquan's words are almost the same.

Although what Fuquan said, it did offend him.

This is going to be replaced by someone else, Kangxi is going to be furious.

But at this moment, it was not Fuquan's words that angered him.

It's what Fuquan said, which is far from the eighth elder brother in his heart.

"Brother, it's a shame that you understand that in my life, like those officials, I was deceived by his gentle appearance!"

Fuquan opened his mouth, wanting to say something more for the eighth master.

Kangxi gently pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't be in a hurry to talk to me first, and after listening to me, it doesn't hurt if you talk about it." ”

Fuquan was slightly stunned, but he didn't speak anymore.

"You said that the eighth elder brother and the princes love and help each other, that's just the surface of what you see, you know that when the prince was locked up in the Zongren Mansion, the prince clearly instructed him to bring words, but when I asked, he didn't say a word, and in the end it was the fourth brother who told me the truth. Not only that, but he also framed the crown prince many times. Later, he also extended his hand to the fourth and fourteenth children. ”

Fuquan: "......"

"Let's talk about his benevolence and righteousness, I rule people with leniency, he buys people's hearts with leniency, I have overindulged in the following, but he is even more indulgent than me, even if his generosity is true, it will only completely destroy my Qing Dynasty!" At the end, Kangxi added: "Especially in these years, the treasury has suffered serious losses, and the Great Cleanup cannot fall into the hands of such people." ”

is old, and what makes Kangxi exhausted the most, but he is powerless, is to rectify the rule of officials and fill the treasury.

Over the years, Kangxi has given preferential treatment to the courtiers and brothers who have fought with him.

It's like asking for a house for a house and a car for a car.

There was a minister who wanted a beautiful maid to warm his feet, and Kangxi was very arrogant and gave twelve at once.

Not to mention the losses they incurred by borrowing money from the treasury.

In addition, last year's Qiansu banquet also cost a lot of financial resources.

These expenditures have caused a lot of holes in the national treasury.

But even if Kangxi knew, he didn't plan to clean up this mess.

Because those important ministers and brothers, since he ascended the throne, they have fought with him and suffered a lot.

One by one, the friendship with him is no less than that of a brother like Fuquan.

Now that the Qing Dynasty is finally prosperous, he can't pull off this old face and go to collect debts with those brothers, so he can only turn a blind eye.

Besides, Kangxi is old, and he wants to leave a reputation as a benevolent and righteous lord in history, and he doesn't want to be too mean and unkind to the meritorious ministers.

But just because he doesn't plan to clean up the mess doesn't mean the mess will never be cleaned up.

Therefore, this arduous task is naturally left to future generations, that is, the new emperor who will ascend the throne in the future.

He himself also understands this deeply, in order to ensure that the Qing Dynasty can be maintained a hundred years later.

The new heir to the throne must have the courage and ability to deal with the mess he left behind.

to help him plug the hole caused by his own "benevolent government".

However, for Kangxi, the eighth elder brother is simply too benevolent.

If he is allowed to ascend the throne, won't the Qing Dynasty go from deficit to destruction.

At this time, Fuquan felt that what Kangxi said was nothing.

He said: "The minister believes that these are not the problems, and that they can be changed in terms of dealing with people and things." ”

"Well, put those things aside, and talk about other aspects of him. Every time he had a good errand, he and the people below him squeezed his head to grab it. When it comes to difficult errands, he is vague and reluctant to take over. In addition, did you ever know that this rebellion against Alabutan was all due to his secret collusion and use the spare strength at hand to open the way for the thieves!
