Wei Dongting!

Kangxi's first confidant, the governor of the customs of four provinces.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Dongting is out of the horse, and the meaning represented is naturally self-evident, even if Jackie Chan is a hard card, he should know the weight. It seems that Kangxi is really in a hurry, and the pressure on the Yellow River is not small.

"This Chen Huang is a talent, Ma De, after your birthday, you will return to Ningguta and send people to Beijing. Gao Shiqi, since you have read Chen Huang's "Essentials of River Defense", you can write as much as you can for me, I want to take a look......"

"Obey." Gao Shiqi replied.

"Your Majesty, Ningguta is not only one Chen Huang, but also two other assistants of Le Fu." Ma De did not respond to Kangxi's words, but brought up other things.

"And? Who are they? ”

"Peng Xueren, Feng Zhiren."

"Hehe, two 'benevolent' people......" Kangxi didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to Gao Shiqi again.

"Your Majesty, Feng Zhiren is also Le Fu's staff, and he followed him when he was the governor of Anhui; Another Peng Xueren, did you forget? He is the Zhengzhou River Road Daotai, and that time the Yellow River Garden Estuary burst the embankment......" Gao Shiqi looked at Kangxi and did not finish his words.

"Is that him? Alas......" Kangxi slapped his forehead, but his face was full of remorse.

"Lord Gao, what's going on with this Peng Xueren?" Tong Guowei looked at Gao Shiqijun's prelude, everything was clear, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help asking.

"In the twenty-first year of Kangxi, the Huayuankou of the Zhengzhou section of the Yellow River burst, and Huang Jincai, the prefect of Zhengzhou, Ma Xin, the same knowledge, and Peng Xueren, the Taoist of the river, led the people to surround it, because of the lack of sandbags, only five of the six executions were blocked. When the three of them saw that they could not succeed, the entire embankment would collapse, and hundreds of thousands of people on the banks of the Yellow River would not be able to escape the ocean, and they would not escape the death penalty. So, the three of them discussed, and Peng Xueren went to Beijing to report everything, and the face of the saint led to death. After that, the prefect Huang Jincai and the same acquaintance Ma Xin committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river. …… Later, the embankment collapsed, and Peng Xueren was also washed away by the flood, only because he knew the nature of the water, and was washed out for more than 60 miles before he climbed ashore again. Then, he entered the capital to face the saint and was willing to die. …… The emperor took pity on his loyalty and ordered him to serve under Le Fu. ”

“……”

Gao Shiqi spoke very gently, but everyone in the study secretly broke for Peng Xueren and the others. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains, whether it is the prefect and Tongzhi who committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, or Peng Xueren, who entered Beijing to receive his death, what he did made everyone sigh.

"No wonder ......," Mader snapped.

"What?" Hearing Ma De's voice, Kangxi asked.

"The slave said, no wonder Peng Xueren is only in his forties on the case file, but he already looks like a sixty-year-old old man, it is because he is grateful for the grace of God, so he is desperately trying to control the river." Ma De looked at Kangxi, bowed down and replied.

"Is that so?" Kangxi was shocked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Not only Peng Xueren, Feng Zhiren is in his forties, and Chen Huang is only in his thirties, but the two are similar, they are like little old men in their fifties and sixties,......" Ma De replied.

"Alas......" didn't need to say anything, Kangxi could only sigh, "Mingzhu misunderstood me, Mingzhu misunderstood me......"

"The emperor doesn't have to be so guilty, Chen Huang's three people rule the river, it is out of their own hearts, they are declining before they get old, and it is none of your business with the emperor." Tong Guowei persuaded on the side.

"What are these words? …… Chen Huang and the three of them tried their best to control the river, but because of my negligence, they ended up like this, how can I not feel guilty? Kangxi said unhappily. Tong Guowei's words also made the others present feel very harsh. People have done so much for the country and the people, and they have not grown old and decrepit, you are good, come here and say cool words, what is it?

"Who was in charge of Lefu's case at that time? Why didn't these things be reported to me earlier? Kangxi asked Gao Shiqi again.

"Your Majesty, Le Fu was attributed to the Mingzhu Party at that time, and the one who presided over the trial of the case was ......" Gao Shiqi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Who is it?"

“…… Back to the emperor," Gao Shiqi gritted his teeth and said: "The presiding judge of the Lefu case, Suo Etu's disciple, the former squire of the Criminal Department, and the current squire of the Ministry of Works, Isan A. ”

"Ethan?" Tong Guowei almost bit off his tongue. Although Isana used to be Suo Etu's best friend, he has recently been included in his discipleship with Chen Xijia, the household servant, and has become his cronie. Now, he is trying to find a way to let Isanga replace the admiral of Heilongjiang Customs in Yuzhong, but now, Kangxi and Gao Shiqi sang and sang together to bring Isanga into this old case. However, since he is a cronie, he has to protect it anyway, so after Tong Guowei heard Gao Shiqi's words, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks it is ......."

But before he could say anything, he had to pause again. This is the problem of insensitivity to thinking, when it is time to speak, I don't know what to say.

"Why?"

"This, slave, slave thinks that at that time, Mingzhu fell, Suo Etu was the dominant party, and he took revenge, and Isanga couldn't handle the case in public...... and failed to explain the situation of Chen Huang and others."

"Bastard! What are these words? Do you know what 'Loyalty' means? Isana is my courtier, not Soetu's courtier! What did he look at? Pardonable? I say this is nonsense. No wonder Le Fu died early, he was tired, he was wronged......" Kangxi said angrily. finally found a courtier who could manage the source of the Yellow River's thousand-year-old floods, but it was gone early. Of course, Kangxi is uncomfortable, but as an emperor, he can't be wrong, even if Le Fu is in the position of being dismissed by him personally after entering Beijing to face the saint, but he can't be wrong. So, he put the blame on Soetu and Ithana. After all, there are also two people who are responsible for this.

"The emperor forgives his sins!" Seeing that Kangxi was angry again, Tong Guowei took the lead, and everyone had to kneel down again.

“…… Gao Shiqi, Intended Purpose. ”

"Ah...... Obey the order. Gao Shiqi, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned by Kangxi's order, and the purpose was proposed? That should be done by the Minister of the Upper Study. Tong Guoweiwen can't do it, and Zhang Tingyu can be the main writer? However, since Kangxi has given the order, he can only follow the order.

"Pardon Chen Huang, Peng Xueren, and Feng Zhiren are not guilty, and confer the title of Chen Huang as a minister and counselor of river affairs; Peng Xueren was reinstated and was still the Taoist platform of Zhengzhou River; Feng Zhiren, for the Qinghe observation envoy...... The three of them entered Beijing within three months to see the driver. "Kangxi is not an impulsive person, it's just that there is Le Fu's exploits as evidence, and then there is Gao Shiqi and Ma De's corroboration and covert protection, and he can't believe that Chen Huang and the three of them have a sense of responsibility for governing the river and loyalty, so he made this will. As for Ethan, he is not going to mention it for the time being.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at ......" Gao Shiqi quickly prepared the will and handed it to Kangxi.

"Well, let's send someone to Ningguta to pass the decree according to this......" Kangxi looked at it, Gao Shiqi's handwriting was still excellent, not only the meaning between the lines was obvious, but the writing was also smooth and gorgeous, which made him very satisfied.

……

"Good boy, let's go back and settle the score." Kangxi's holy decree was sent to pass on. It was rare for so many people to get together, and Kangxi asked Old Man Fei about Fengtian's affairs in recent years in front of the two prime ministers and Gao Shiqi. Taking advantage of this free time, Yu Zhong leaned into Ma Qi's ear and threatened viciously. This time, Ma De made his own opinion, not only scared him enough, but also offended Tong Guowei by turning a corner, and it was impossible not to clean it up.

"Your Majesty, the birthday gift brought by the old slave this time is only a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, a bag of soybeans, a bag of millet, a bag of sorghum, a bag of corn, a bag of peanuts, a can of sugar, a bottle of wine and three cans of oil!" Unaware that Yu Zhongzheng was threatening Ma De in private, Old Man Fei reported to Kangxi the birthday gift he brought.

"Oh? Why is it that everything else is the same number, but this oil is three cans? Kangxi asked after hearing these things reported by Old Man Fei.

"Your Majesty, there are three cans of oil: one can of soybean oil, one can of rapeseed oil, and one can of peanut oil...... Originally, the old slave was trying to make a new type of blended oil, but it was unsuccessful, so he didn't bring it. Old man Fei said.

"Lord Fei, the imperial court does not allow Fengtianmi to enter Beijing, what are you doing with these things?" Tong Guowei felt that he had become Kangxi's punching bag this time, and he was in a very unhappy mood.

"Tong Xiang, the imperial court is only not allowed to enter Beijing with Fengtian rice, in order not to have a situation of 'cheap grain hurting farmers', it may also bring wheat, millet, corn and other grains not to enter Beijing. However, what the humble post brought this time was only a small bag, in order to show the Empress Dowager the grain produced in the fertile soil of Fengtian in the morning, and invite the Empress Dowager and her old people to taste it, isn't this okay? Old man Fei asked with a smile.

"Haha, what Fei Aiqing said is good. Your birthday gift is not only unique, but also bound to win the favor of the Queen Mother. Actually, what is the use of baby pearl? The Empress Dowager is not short of this, and she is already very happy to see that her descendants are living well and eating well. Kangxi said on the side, affirming Old Man Fei's approach.

"Yes, Lord Fei's gift is indeed unique. It's just, Master Fei, how did you get a jar of candy out? Elderly people are not very good at eating sugar...... Gao Shiqi is proficient in medicine, and reminded Old Man Fei on the side.

"Hehe, don't worry about it. What's so difficult for the Empress Dowager if she wants to eat sugar? How can you be greedy for this jar of candy? In fact, the humble duty brought this jar of candy just to report the good news. Old man Fei said to Gao Shiqi again.

"Annunciation?" Kangxi didn't understand and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. In fact, these sugars were sent by the slaves to the south to find people, and after several studies, they used a kind of sugar beet to make white sand sugar. Your Majesty, as far as the servants know, except for some private workshops, at present, in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, only Chiayi in Taiwan and Huizhou and Chaozhou in Guangdong are making sugar from sugarcane in batches, but the output is not large, only three or four million catties per year, and the quality is not very good, and it cannot be compared with Fengtian's white sand sugar at present. ”

"The dignified Fengtian Mansion Yin, the third-grade master, what kind of sugar are you going to get? Lord Fei, where did you put the face of the imperial court? Tong Guowei reprimanded.

"Hehe, Tong Xiang, don't worry, listen to the humble position and talk slowly, how about it?" Old man Fei was not angry, but smiled.

"Okay, I also want to hear it, Fei Aiqing, what is the reason why you dropped your body to get this white sand candy." Kangxi also smiled.

"Back to the emperor, in fact, the slave's candy is intended to be sold......"

"Sell? …… Hum! You're not small, Lord Fei! Don't you know that according to my Eight Banners ancestral system, banner people are forbidden to do business! If you do this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will condemn you? Tong Guowei asked Old Man Fei.
