"A bunch of bastards!"

When the middle man and Chen Menglei were drinking and eating in "Drunken Qionglin", in the study of the Forbidden City, Kangxi was furious and swept all the chapters on the dragon case to the ground.

"The emperor is angry!" Seeing that the emperor was angry, Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu, who were waiting beside him, hurriedly bowed down and said, after speaking, the two began to clean up the pieces that fell on the ground again. …… In the upper study, only the ministers can enter, and the others, including the concubines and eunuchs, who trespass without the holy decree have only a dead end.

"Anger? How can I calm my anger? There was a great drought in Anhui, and the people could not eat enough, but those corrupt officials still had the idea of providing food for disaster relief,...... Twenty percent, it's two percent! The amount of grain that went to the people was less than 20 percent of the total...... The layers of exploitation have reached such a level, how can you make me angry? Yes? Kangxi couldn't stop patting the dragon case and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that he should immediately send someone to investigate this matter and severely punish the officials who committed the crime!" Tong Guowei said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the most important thing at this time is to renew the food payment immediately, so as to avoid the disaster and the people from making trouble......" Zhang Tingyu lowered his head, gently put the piece he picked up on the dragon case, and took two steps back to stand still and said.

"Renewing the payment? Lord Zhang, the imperial court has already distributed millions of stone grain, why do you want to renew it? Where will the imperial court transfer it from at this time? After listening to Zhang Tingyu's words, Tong Guowei frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Do you still want those moths to make another fortune?" ”

"Lord Tong, the disaster is urgent, and a bad one will cause civil unrest, so in the current situation, disaster relief should be given first!" Zhang Tingyu said expressionlessly.

"Disaster relief first? Wouldn't all this money and food have to go through the hands of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials? If you don't send someone to investigate it immediately, as soon as the disaster relief is over, those guys will probably wipe out all the evidence of the crime. As for the troubles of the victims, what can a bunch of hillbillies who can't get enough to eat make trouble? Could it be that the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court in Anhui and Jiangsu are placed there to look good? Tong Guowei said.

"Lord Tong, at this time, it is not an appropriate opportunity to deal with officials...... Zhang Tingyu stopped halfway through his words and turned to look at Kangxi. His meaning is obvious, Xiaozhuang's birthday is approaching, and if there is any bad news on the day of the world's celebration, it will definitely greatly damage the prestige of the royal family and the imperial court, so even if the Anhui officials' greedy behavior is excessive and angry, they cannot be moved at this time, and at the same time, they cannot be moved, and at the same time, they cannot be allowed to make trouble, then, the only way is to increase the distribution of disaster relief food.

"Well......" Tong Guowei also heard the meaning of Zhang Tingyu's words, his heart moved, and he immediately bowed to Kangxi and said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the slave agreed to send more disaster relief food, but in order to prevent those corrupt officials from continuing to do whatever they wanted, the slave thought that he could send a minister to Anhui to be responsible for disaster relief." ”

"Chancellor?" After Kangxi's momentary excitement, his mood has calmed down. Hearing Tong Guowei's suggestion, he could only smile bitterly in his heart...... The Minister? This Tong Guowei has been the prime minister for two years, although he is strong in means and has some courage in doing things, but he still doesn't understand some joints. Even if the ministers were sent to distribute money and grain, weren't they those officials in Anhui? Even if this minister tries his best, every province in Anhui is suffering, how can a person look at such a big place? What's more, the most worrying thing is that this minister will probably be pulled into the whirlpool of corruption, and it will be a shame for adults.

"Tingyu, what do you think?" Kangxi thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with any good way, so he had to look down again. After the Western Expedition, he has not promoted other ministers of the upper study, after Gao Shiqi stepped down, only Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu were left with two prime ministers, one man and one Han, and now it seems that there are still too few people.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister...... There's no good way to do it. Zhang Tingyu said helplessly. God has Shinto, ghosts have ghosts, and the superior is not clear about the methods of the officials below, so it is difficult to make corresponding measures, and the Qing court can do it up and down, until now, he only knows two people, these two people have been beggars, and they are also very smart, and they are also full of Han, but now these two people can't be mentioned casually, because they are Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi. Although Mingzhu is full of people, his official position has grown from a small age, and he has served as a messenger many times in the early days of his official life, and he is good at figuring out people's hearts, and he has a large group of sub-party members, and the doorway up and down is naturally clear; Gao Shiqi has been in the private sector before becoming an official, has been walking the world for more than ten years, and he also knows the ways of lower-level officials very well. But he, Zhang Tingyu, was a Beijing official as soon as he came up, and he was promoted to the upper study in a few years, compared to these two people, it is still far behind. Thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but shake his head for Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi, Gao Shiqi is better, everything is touched, but everything is not the main figure, the year before last he went to Russia, and for more than a year, he has attracted a lot of Xiyi missions, so that the emperor and the court have enough addiction to "all countries come to the court", and when he came back at the beginning of the year, he was sealed a book of rites, which is not bad. But Mingzhu can't do it, obviously he is an extremely smart character, why can't he always see the holy taboo? It's a pity that I got the power and got myself out of power.

"That's it, let's add more food......" Although Zhang Tingyu's words were expected, Kangxi still felt a little displeased after hearing it, the two prime ministers now, one is more than strong, and his cognitive talent is insufficient; The other is okay, but he is too young and lacks confidence.

"The minister (minion) obeys." Now that Kangxi has made a will, Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu have no choice but to receive the order.

"Tong Guowei!"

"The minions are here!" didn't understand why Kangxi suddenly called himself again, Tong Guowei hurriedly bowed and stood solemnly.

"You are responsible for the Empress Dowager's birthday, how is it handled?" Kangxi asked.

"Back to the Emperor, everything is almost ready, just waiting for Lafayette Christmas......" Tong Guowei replied.

"That's good. The Empress Dowager has worked hard for me all her life, and I hope that she can have a good and comfortable life,...... Tingyu, what's going on with Enko? Kangxi turned to Zhang Tingyu again.

"Back to the emperor, the Ministry of Rites and the Tribute Institute have been prepared, and the invigilators of each room have also set up candidates, just wait for the emperor to draft the chief examiner!"

"That's fine...... You see, who should be the examiner? Kangxi asked again.

"Your Majesty, the servants think that the new servant Chen Yuanlong is okay." Tong Guowei said hurriedly.

"Chen Yuanlong?"

Chen Yuanlong, a native of Haining, Zhejiang. In the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi, he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing and editing, and he was admitted to the South Study. The following year, he talked about living and paying attention to officials. Later, he was impeached for forming a party for personal gain, accepting bribes, and was dismissed and returned to his hometown. Twenty-seven years, reinstated, moved to the service to speak, transferred to study. In the twenty-ninth year, he moved to the right concubine. For 30 years, he served as the governor of Guangxi, providing relief to the victims, building water conservancy, and building barns. For thirty-three years, he served as the chief examiner of the Shaanxi Township Examination, and later moved to a bachelor's degree to a bachelor's degree, a bachelor's degree in charge of the Hanlin Academy, a teacher and a lecturer...... Thirty-four years, just last year, with the title of Shangshu, he led the Ministry of Officials. Seeing that Kangxi didn't remember Chen Yuanlong for a while, Zhang Tingyu explained on the side.

"Hehe, it turned out to be the eye of my point, but I almost couldn't remember it." Kangxi smiled and said.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yuanlong is very knowledgeable, he has also served in the locality, and he is very good in all aspects, and the slaves think that he is the best candidate for the chief examiner." After Tong Guowei heard Kangxi's words, his heart suddenly burst, since the emperor said that he didn't remember this person, could it be said that Chen Yuanlong didn't want to be the chief examiner? This is a subordinate that he finally got into, both civil and political affairs are good hands, and he is trying to find a few talents from this Enke to fill the façade through this person, if Kangxi does not agree, this plan will be in vain.

"That's it, this time, let Gao Shiqi be the chief examiner, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he happens to be in charge of this matter. Chen Yuanlong, let him be the deputy chief examiner with Ma Qi. Ignoring Tong Guowei's words, Kangxi thought for a while and made arrangements.

"Marzie?" Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu were both stunned. Gao Shiqi has just made a meritorious service, although he is no longer the minister of the study, he is still a favorite minister, and he is very knowledgeable, Kangxi wants him to be the chief examiner, which is reasonable, but Na Ma Qi ......

"Your Majesty, Ma Qi is not knowledgeable, and it seems a little unreasonable to let him be the deputy examiner......" Tong Guowei said with a reluctant face. Ma Qi is not surnamed Ma Mingqi, this Ma Qi is actually a Manchurian, and he is a person with a yellow flag in the three banners, surnamed Fucha. His father, Mi Sihan, the head of the household department in the early Xi Dynasty, was the first famous minister in the Qing court to propose the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and made great contributions when he leveled the three feudal domains. Ma Qi was born in the Shunzhi period, and at the age of 18, he became a member of the Ministry of Labor. In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi, he became the governor of Shanxi because of his outstanding ability, and his official reputation was very good, even the pearl who held great power at that time was very attractive to him. However, Ma Qi is very upright and does not sell pearls. After the Mingzhu case, Guo Xiu went to Jiangnan, and Ma Qi took over the post of imperial envoy of the left capital because of his uprightness. During this period, Ma Qi said to Kangxi: "The servants are in charge of the domain, and when they see that everything they are asked to do, they stop using Manchurian and Mongolian scripts, and they do not have both Chinese languages." Please ...... today Registered in Chinese, the merits of subjugating Mongolia are eternal. Later, this suggestion was adopted by Kangxi, although the time is still short, but the significance has begun to appear. Now Kangxi has asked Ma Qi to be the deputy examiner, and his intention makes Tong Guowei a little confused. (Ma Qili Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong four dynasties, in the Kangyong and Yong dynasties are all prime ministers, niece Fucha is the first queen of Qianlong, his nephew Fu Heng is the early military minister of Qianlong, that is, the prime minister, nephew is Fukangan, the official to the county king!) ）

"Ma Qi has been fond of Sinology since he was a child, although his knowledge is not as good as Gao Chen's, but he is upright and has been the teacher of this year's Enke candidates, and he is also an example. As for reading articles, Gao Shiqi can top two of them alone, and he is not afraid that he won't be able to read them...... What's more, there are so many examiners too. Kangxi didn't take Tong Guowei's words to heart, and said to himself.

"That being the case, the slave obeys." Tong Guowei also has nothing to say, Kangxi is the same, he doesn't have the courage to contradict it.

"Okay, let's talk about it here today, and if it's okay, you can all go down first,...... Anhui's affairs should be done quickly, and we must not slack off! ”

"The minister (minion) obeys!"

……

"The arrangement in the palace is that we will see the emperor the day after tomorrow, which means that we still have two days to spare, and we should always find a place to hang around in the dignified Beijing City, right?" After coming out of "Drunken Qionglin" and breaking up with Chen Menglei, he walked around the street for a while, and Yu Zhong asked the people around him.

"Xiangshan!"

"Yuquan Mountain!"

"Badaling!"

As soon as Yu Zhong's voice fell, Mo Jing, Ma De, and Luo Xin immediately proposed where they wanted to go.

"Hehe, in my opinion, let's go shopping in Beijing's hutongs, how about it?" Old man Fei smiled slowly.

"That's right, the hutongs of old Beijing are a big sight, it's a pity not to stroll around!" Luo Xin nodded and echoed his "uncle".

"Yes, yes, I've heard of the name of 'Eight Hutongs' for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to take a look...... Yes! Before Yu Zhong's voice fell, he was twisted by Mo Jing. Bada Hutong is a famous place in Beijing where green buildings gather, and he mentioned it in front of Mo Jing, so naturally he didn't discuss it with K.

"Fei Lao, there are so many hutongs in Beijing, which one should we visit?" Despised Yu Zhong for a while, Ma De suppressed his somewhat rippling mood after hearing the "Eight Great Hutongs", and asked Old Man Fei.

"What are the most famous hutongs in Beijing?" Old man Fei asked a few juniors with a smile.

"I know a 'Eight Hutongs'." Yu Zhong's words provoked another personal attack, but it seemed that he was willing to do it.

"Dashilar?"

"How's the front door?"

"I prefer the glaze factory, it's a gathering place for antiques." Mo Jing proudly expressed his superiority to the two small citizens, Ma De and Luo Xin, and as a result, he got two hygienic eyes.

"Are those places alleys? You guys......" Old Man Fei shook his head and smiled.

"In my opinion, it's better not to go to any alley, how about we go to the flyover?" Yu Zhong said.

"That's right, the flyover is good, there are things to eat, play and see, let's go there." Luo Xin said excitedly.

"Xinxin, you really don't have a position, alas, you want to go here for a while, and you want to go there for a while,......" Mo Jing teased Luo Xin.

"Since Sister Jing said so, then I will choose the flyover unchanged." Luo Xin also smiled.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, let's go to the overpass to have a look......" Old man Fei looked at a few people, saw that no one objected, and took the lead, but after only taking a step, he had to stand again, "This, which of you knows the road?" ”

“……”

"Ask for directions!" After being stunned for a while, Ma De's brain turned "fast" and he thought of a "solution" first.

So, the group began to ask for directions.

"Brother, may I ask how the flyover is ...... Hey, it's you? Mo Jing asked for directions and asked an acquaintance.

"This brother ...... Do you have something? The person who was asked by Mo Jing asked. He wanted to say that "Brother Tai" was coming, but he smelled a burst of fragrance, and then looked at Mo Jing's unmodified face, and immediately guessed the gender of the other party, and at that moment, he hurriedly took two steps back.

"Shi Shilun, Brother Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you still in Beijing? Didn't you take the last subject? Mo Jing did not deliberately hide his identity, and said directly.
