"Why are you so sure?" Kangxi looked at the fourth master puzzled, and the prince and the eighth master were also stunned.

The fourth master himself was stunned, he was reborn, and he had the impression that Shandong had not been hit by a snowstorm for two consecutive years, which would make Kangxi worried, so he subconsciously said it.

But the reason for this cannot be said! The fourth master's mind spun rapidly, and he couldn't think of a good reason for a while.

The eighth master said at this time: "Huang Ama, when the retainers and the fourth brother were calculating the taxes of various places this year, they thought about whether to consider the issue of reserving silver grain for disaster relief if Shandong was affected by disasters again. ”

The fourth master also came back to his senses and continued: "Erchen and the eighth brother went to Qin Tianjian to check the celestial situation in the two years before and after the catastrophe. It is found that the same type of disaster does not occur in the same place for two consecutive years. ”

"I see." Kangxi nodded, looked at the fourth and eighth masters with relief, and said, "It is really good that the two of you can draw inferences from each other and prevent it in advance!" ”

"I don't deserve to be praised by the emperor. It's a matter for the sons. "The fourth master and the eighth master said.

The prince smiled on the side: "Huang Ama, I used to say that the fourth brother was thoughtful, but now I see, the eighth brother does not lose to the fourth brother at all!" ”

Kangxi smiled and said, "This is also your blessing." In the future, your brothers will help me, and I will be more at ease. ”

All three of them laughed, but their thoughts were different.

relieved the worry in his heart, and Kangxi's mood improved. Seeing that his three sons were all in front of him, he simply started chatting.

On weekdays, the eighth master rarely has such an opportunity. Today is a rare day.

In terms of knowledge, he is no worse than the prince and the fourth master, and in terms of some insights on the government and politics, he is also not inferior to the prince and the fourth master. So after chatting, Kangxi couldn't help but look at him several times.

It is not surprising that the fourth master arrived. In the previous life, the eighth master was a person who could speak well and meet the source from all sides. Otherwise, how could he get the support of so many courtiers and become his biggest competitor for the throne?

But the crown prince is different. Although the eighth master has also attracted attention in the court in the past two years, it is not enough for the crown prince to reach the point of threat. On the contrary, he was still on guard against the fourth master and the prince. Is a person so capable really willing to be subservient?

"I'll have lunch with me in a while, and then we'll go." Kangxi was obviously in good spirits.

The three of them are naturally thankful again. That's a reward. There are so many princes who come out, but not everyone has the honor to dine with Kangxi.

After lunch, they talked with Kangxi again, and the three of them got down from Luan.

"The fourth brother and the eighth brother are now more and more capable." The prince glanced at the two of them.

The fourth master didn't say anything, but the eighth master smiled and said, "There is still a gap with the second brother." ”

The prince's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The eighth brother will surpass Gu after a few years of training." ”

"That brother is still far away." The eighth master smiled. The prince's words are not kind. He is the crown prince cultivated by Huang Ama himself, if he can surpass him, doesn't that mean that he can replace him as the crown prince?

"If the second brother still wants to chat, go to the younger brother's car to talk. It's snowing outside, so don't freeze. The fourth master said.

The crown prince smiled and said, "I've been talking about it for a long time in Huang Amana, let's go back and rest." ”

"It's okay, second brother, then we'll go first." The fourth master arched his hand.

The eighth master arched his hand, and when the prince nodded, he left first with the fourth master.

"Thank you for breaking the siege today." The fourth master said.

"Fourth brother just didn't think about it for a while." The eighth master smiled. He didn't have any doubts about the fourth master. After all, it was two people who did it together.

The fourth master smiled, didn't explain, only said: "No matter what, I still have to thank the eighth brother." ”

"Fourth brother and I are still polite?" The eighth master smiled.

"But whether there will be a snow disaster or not, I really can't say." The fourth master looked up at the gloomy Heavenly Dao.

"If there is, then it can't be helped. We can't let God keep it down. "The eighth master said.

"Is last year's champion Mao Mingxuan a county magistrate in Shandong?" The fourth master asked suddenly.

The eighth master was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did the fourth brother think of asking him?" ”

"I remember it's a Gege brother in your house?" The fourth master asked again.

The eighth master nodded and said, "The fourth brother has a good memory. ”

"You see, this time Huang Ama is on his southern tour, and he will definitely go to that county." The fourth master said.

"Fourth brother is so sure?" The eighth master asked, "I guess there should be." ”

"Not should, yes." The fourth master said: "He can even win three yuan, and he also has the perfection of Huang Ama in it." Since he is a person valued by Huang Ama, how can he not take it to heart. If I'm not mistaken, he was able to fill the vacancy because all the local officials were dismissed, right? ”

"Hmm. Last year, Shandong's officialdom shook and many officials were dismissed. The previous county magistrate of Zibo County, where he is located, was also involved, and he is still in prison. "The eighth master said.

"Huang Ama now wants to train people for the crown prince." The fourth master said.

The eighth master's brows furrowed, he didn't want Mao Mingxuan to become the prince's person.

"Since he has something to do with you, let's be on the lookout. Loyalty to the crown prince is not the same as loyalty to the emperor. The fourth master lowered his voice and said.

The eighth master paused, glanced at the fourth master, but saw that the fourth master was looking ahead, with an indifferent expression.

"Thank you Fourth Brother for reminding me." The eighth master said, after thinking about it, he said again: "Before Mao Mingxuan left Beijing to take office, I asked him to come to the mansion for a while. He's a smart guy. Just mention one sentence, and you understand. ”

"Oh?" The fourth master was slightly surprised, and said, "It's not easy for a young person to have this insight. ”

"So I didn't worry about him, and I didn't send a special reminder." The eighth master laughed.

"Eighth brother is blessed." The fourth master smiled.

Although they are not pointing to the relatives of the backyard woman's family who can help with anything, it is better to have a good life than not to have a good life! Especially someone like Mao Mingxuan who has entered Kangxi's eyes, everyone wants to have two more!

The eighth master blurted out: "Tongtong's family is very good. ”

The fourth master couldn't help but turn his head sideways, and the eighth master's ears turned red, and he hurriedly said: "It's my Gege Mao." The fourth brother also knows, you and the tenth brother went to Yangzhou on an errand, and you ran into her Amma. ”

"Ah, it's her!" The fourth master suddenly thought about it. He was still very impressed by Mao's carrier. I remember to come back and listen to Xiao Fujin, and Xiao Fujin also praised him again and again.

"His Amma is upright enough, too. It's really surprising that a military attache actually taught a champion! The fourth master laughed.

Mao said the same. The eighth master also smiled: "said that her brother would rather practice calligraphy than martial arts when he was a child, so angry that he Ama chased his brother all over the yard to fight." ”
