Kangxi listened, looked at Ma Qi with a smile, and said: "Shi Shilun is the fourth grade, but the Si Si is the third grade, if this recommendation is completed, he will be promoted by two levels, you are really generous." Reading the book// But I heard that Shi Shilun didn't buy your face at all, but he embarrassed you in public. Ma Qi's face was slightly embarrassed, and he bowed slightly and said: "The slave is a good man for the country, regardless of personal friendship." Moreover, although Shi Shilun beat the minion's entourage, that is also where his duty lies, and the minion can blame him. ”

Kangxi stood up, walked a few steps excitedly, and said, "Very good! Being able to say these words shows that you have the bearing of a prime minister! Ma Qi listened to the seal!" Ma Qi was stunned for a moment, hesitated and looked at Zhang Yushu next to him, before picking up his robe and kneeling. Kangxi stood with his hands in his hands and said: "Ma Qi has not caused trouble since he was appointed as the head of the household department, he is honest in everything, he is from the public cuisine, he does not know it alone, he knows everything in the world, and he is comparable to the non-corpse vegetarian meal, especially Ma Qi is a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and he still regards the affairs of the household department!" Ma Qi was both happy and surprised, and bowed down: "How can a slave be so loved by the emperor." Kangxi smiled and said: "You have been waiting for me all these years, not to mention the others, just this loyalty, you are worthy of my reward! ”

Zhang Yushu next to him listened to it with a pang in his heart, Kangxi's words seemed to have a very profound meaning, could it be that there were waves in the middle of the court? Although there were many thoughts in his heart, Zhang Yushu couldn't spoil the scenery at this moment, so he smiled at Ma Qi, who had already thanked him and got up, and thought he was happy.

Kangxi nodded at Ma Qi with his hand and said, "It's just that I gave you grace, but I want to refute your idea of recommending Shi Shilun." Read the book//" Kangxi looked at Ma Qi, who was somewhat stunned, and continued: "I know Shilun very well, he is proficient in laws and regulations, honest and honest, but he is too paranoid when he encounters things. When he was promoted, if the people and the people sued, Shilun would inevitably favor the people, and if the sentient beings litigated with the gentry, Shilun would inevitably favor the people. Therefore, there has been a saying among the people that Shilun decides the case, regardless of whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, but it depends on whether there is money or not, the rich lose to the less rich, and the less rich lose to the no rich. However, how can one be so paranoid in dealing with things only in the middle of seeking success? For example, Shilun may not be able to entrust the matter of imprisonment to prison, but it is more appropriate to grant money to the valley. After Shi Shilun finishes the relief envoy, see if there is a shortage of political envoys in the provinces, and let him go. If you have a good experience, you can also be a good minister in the future. ”

Ma Qi and Zhang Yushu repeatedly said yes. Zhang Yushu said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full. In Chen's humble opinion, the rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is expensive and scarce, in addition to flooding, it is also the fruit of the lake rice that has not arrived for several years. It's just that Shi Shilun intercepted the grain, although he quenched his thirst, he still had long-term worries. The minister is presumptuous, can you ask the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother to sit in Huaiyin and supervise the lake and Guangliang to evacuate the south of the Yangtze River?"

Kangxi thought for a while, and then said: "This is the most appropriate statement. Nowadays, everything can be delayed, but the officials should not take the people's livelihood lightly. I remember that in the past two years, the barometer of Huguang and Guangxi provinces has never reported floods and droughts, so the grain and rice in Huguang cannot be evacuated, which is not a natural disaster, but the fault of officials. Although Li Huizu, the current governor of Huguang, is honest, he cannot sort out the past slack. Guo Xiu, the former governor of Wujiang County, was the magistrate of Wujiang County, and the people have been praised so far, and he also has the courage to make up the governor of Huguang and make him go to the post immediately. Li Huizu was transferred to Beijing to be used by the Ministry of Works. As for the fourth elder brother, there is no need to stay in Huaiyin, and when the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother pass the decree, they will rush to Suzhou. The eighth elder brother can stay in Huaiyin and look at things. ”

At this time, Li Dequan came in with a slender yellow sealed box, and stood quietly aside, Kangxi saw it, and said to Ma Qi and Zhang Yushu: "You go down to do an errand, what I said, carefully draw up the will, and then use the seal here." ”

The two of them quit at this time, and after Zhang Yushu went out, he looked Ma Qi up and down and quipped: "When you and I handed over the sign to ask for a meeting, we saw that there was a red light on Da Si Nong's face, and I knew that there would be a happy event." Now sure enough, Ma Zhongtang, how fortunate the jade book is, should be congratulated! Tonight's meal of water and wine and jade book is bound to be disturbed. Ma Qi hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Su Cun is really joking, Ma Qi is a backward compared to Brother Su Cun, just entered the Taiwan Pavilion, Brother Su Cun still has a lot of advice." Zhang Yushu gave up: "I don't dare to give advice." But then I have to go to the middle hall to see in detail how the emperor's will should be drafted today. The emperor reverted to Guo at this time, which shows that the holy will is resolute, and the two provinces of Huguang will be shaken. Ma Qi said yes in his mouth, but he was doubting in his heart, what is the meaning of the emperor's move? He snatched the envoy of the fourth elder brother, but sacrificed the eighth elder brother who had never done an errand alone, and added Shi Shilun, who was not afraid of the powerful, and Guo Shilun, who was not afraid of salt, and Guo Shilun, who was not afraid of salt, the more lively the situation in Jiangnan became.

In the cabin, Li Dequan sent the box and said, "Master, Suzhou weaves Li Xu's secret fold." Kangxi nodded, gently scratched the paper seal on the box with his fingernails, took out a fold from it, read a few sentences, his face became solemn, and asked: "The excerpt was sent by Li Xu himself?" Seeing this, Li Dequan replied cautiously: "Back to the master's words, Li Xu will stay in Suzhou with the will to prepare to welcome all things, and this excerpt was sent by the people around Li Xu." Kangxi was silent for a while before he said: "I know, I'm a little tired, you go down, I'll call you again if there's something." Li Dequan answered, and gently closed the door when he went out.

Kangxi sat down dejectedly, he couldn't believe what Li Xu had said on the secret fold. Gelfinn, the son of Suo Etu, led the errand of the second-class guard, and this time he made his own southern tour, and specially sent him to take the lead. After Gelfin arrived in Suzhou, he secretly met with local officials, and actually asked for a good-looking young man, and hinted that it was the prince's need. Thinking of what he had seen and heard during his southern tour, Kangxi couldn't help but feel more and more upset, the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan was not as good as before, and it was all because the local officials had privately sent money to bribe their superiors, or they used extortion to bribe their superiors.

Kangxi couldn't help frowning, he originally intended to let Yin? follow him, stay in Jiangnan for a while, and look for an opportunity to teach. This son has been a little loose in the past two years, except for being busy with some errands to control the river, he mostly reads the scriptures and talks about Buddhism on weekdays, and he seems to be dying old when he talks at a young age. This time, in addition to having the meaning of having experience in Yin, it is to use this matter to provoke Yin, so that he can give birth to some youthful spirit. Now it seems that when Yinyin arrives in Suzhou, after giving some explanations, it is better to send him back to Beijing as soon as possible. Yin is old, has a strong temperament, and is good friends with the prince. With Yin by his side, the prince will definitely be more restrained. In addition, two months later, there will be a palace test, which will be run by Yinzhi to help the prince and Yinzhi, but to see how these three brothers cope with this talent ceremony.
