"And such interesting things?"

After Kangxi arrived at the upper study, Tong Guowei reported it to Kangxi. Kangxi's response was just these two words: interesting!

"Your Majesty, do you still say it's interesting? The minions don't think it's a big problem! Tong Guowei arched his hand and said.

"Not a small problem? Since one is going to be dismissed, and the other is going to resign, then let's do it all! Anyway, they all got their wishes! Kangxi picked up the red pen and wrote the comment "according to the accuracy" on the recital of the three prefects of Ma De and Xu Yue.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Kangxi didn't think so, Tong Guowei was slightly dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, according to the slaves, it is very likely that the three prefects were forced by Ma De, and there must be a lot of hidden secrets in them." If it is so accurate, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of Anhui officials! ”

"Your Majesty, the servants also think that what Tong Xiang said has some truth. You've got to get things figured out. The three prefects are in charge of one-third of the ground in Anhui, and if they don't find out, they will be approved by Zhu, for fear of hurting the majesty of the imperial court! Ma Qi and Gao Shiqi also followed Kangxi's footsteps into the upper study on time, only one step slower than Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu.

"Oh? So serious? Then you say, how do you find out? Haven't the three prefects all resigned? Kangxi asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty!" Tong Guowei said: "The resignation of the three prefects is strange. As for the reason, Ma De's recital did not hide it, but he relied on rumors! Your Majesty, you will be convicted by the wind, this wind will never rise! Moreover, Ma De also asked the emperor to 'never use' these three people, which was even more suspected of 'great disrespect'. It is important to know that this 'never use' can only be from the top down, when can you invite yourself from the bottom up? Your Majesty, what this Ma De has done in Anhui has become dominant. Therefore, the slave thought that not only could he not be correct, but the emperor still needed to issue an order to reprimand him. ”

"Hmmm! Well said! Kangxi nodded.

“…… In this way, please decree the emperor! Tong Guowei looked left and right, and saw that Zhang Tingyu and Gao Shiqi, who had always had a good impression of Ma De, had no intention of expressing their opinions, and Ma Qi even agreed, so he asked Kangxi again.

"Hmmm! Then give the order. Gao Shiqi, if you come to draw up the decree, you will say that when Ma De first arrived in Anhui, he coerced the local officials and was arrogant, which made me very dissatisfied, and he introspected! Kangxi said.

"Wechen obeys!" Gao Shiqi didn't say much, walked to the desk next to him and sat down, and wrote with a pen.

……

"Your Majesty, the matter of Ma Debahu is not concerned for the time being, but the three prefects resign...... After all, there are only seven prefects in Anhui and three governors in Zhizhou, and if they resign, the imperial court still has to figure out the reason. Marzi thought for a moment and asked another question.

"Hmmm! It also makes sense, what do you say? Kangxi swept his gaze, and finally fell on Gao Shiqi.

"Alas, bad luck!" Gao Shiqi looked at the six roads, and the study was such a small piece, he could naturally see Kangxi's eyes. Since the emperor meant this, even if he was gradually reducing the number of times he spoke in the upper study, he could only sigh helplessly, walked out and hugged his fists towards Kangxi, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the three prefects have resigned on their own, the court may as well do as they wish, and just follow it!" ”

"Gao Xiang, you can't say that. I resigned from the three prefects at once, there must be a reason! Marzi dissatisfied.

"Ma Xiang, the three prefects resigned, didn't they write a reason in the fold? Written, isn't that there? If it is not written, it means that they despise the imperial court, and this reason is even more sufficient! Gao Shiqi spread his hands and replied.

“…… Gao Xiang, you, how can you say that? Tong Guowei couldn't help but ask.

"Tong Xiang, Ma Xiang, Ma De took over as governor of Anhui, what is the situation in Anhui, are the two still unclear? It's a problem. Ma De is not an unwise person, and there must be a reason why he made such a big move when he first arrived in a place. Didn't he know that what he did would provoke the displeasure of the court? Even if he can't think of it, there are always people under him who can think of it, right? Moreover, he was personally selected and sent by the emperor, and not long after he arrived in the place, he was reprimanded and instructed to introspect, which was enough. If he is forcibly investigated, the officials in Anhui Province will definitely disagree with him, and then how will he rectify local affairs? At that time, he will lose face and delay the affairs of the emperor and the court, but it will be a big matter! Gao Shiqi replied.

"This ......" hat is big enough. Tong Guowei and Ma Qi both heard Gao Shiqi's meaning clearly, Ma De was personally selected by Kangxi to be the governor of Anhui, and it was enough to reprimand him, if he was entangled in the affairs of the three prefects, it would be tantamount to saving Kangxi's face.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Weichen thought that the affairs of Anhui officialdom were complicated, and as soon as Ma De arrived, he heard that someone wanted to sign a joint letter, and it must be that there is no wind and no waves. He suppressed the chaos with his domineering and slashed the chaos with a quick knife, which should also be a helpless move. After all, Ma De has always been kind to others, from the prince's ministers to the peddlers' pawns, and he has never heard of him bullying others. His current move has made Anhui officialdom a pester, although it may not last long, but at least it has also given a buffer time. Zhang Tingyu also continued.

"If you say so according to Zhang Xiang, what Ma De does is for the sake of the court?" Tong Guowei asked rhetorically.

"Tong Xiang, I'm just guessing." Zhang Tingyu took a step back.

"Guess? Zhang Xiang, your guess is not good. However, there is some truth to your statement. Regardless of whether these Anhui officials want to sign a joint petition or not, it is certain that they are dissatisfied with Shi Shilun. After Ma De got the news, although what he did was a little too much, it also dispelled the idea of those officials committing crimes, otherwise, these officials would be in a group, and it would be easy to have accidents in the future! Marzi added.

"Even if what Mader did was not wrong, what about 'never using it'? He is from the bottom up, but he is suspected of being 'disrespectful'! Moreover, he also asked the imperial court not to fill the vacancies of the three prefects within two years, and all the officials he elected were responsible, what is the difference between this and the 'western election' made by Wu Sangui back then? As soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles. …… Among them, the harm is great, especially the victory of forming a party! Tong Guowei said again.

"Forget it! How can it be that serious? Three prefects can turn the sky upside down? When Ma De first arrived in Anhui, I couldn't help but encourage him. Zhang Tingyu! Kangxi shouted.

"The minister is here!" Zhang Tingyu bowed in response.

"Did these three prefects appear on Shi Shilun's Anhui corruption case file last year?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, last year's case involved dozens of officials, and there are people involved in the case all over Anhui. In addition to the political envoys and the envoys, six of the seven prefects and the three governors of Zhizhou are on the case, and these three people are among them! "Zhang Tingyu is well-informed and knowledgeable, and the case in Anhui is another big case, so he remembers it very clearly.

"Since it's on file, go and tell the officials, these three people won't give them any official positions in the future. Gao Shiqi! Kangxi groaned slightly, and shouted at Gao Shiqi again.

"The minister is here!"

"Draw up another will and tell Mader. It is said that he can recommend officials, but whether he is promoted or not, and whether he stays in Anhui, depends on me and the imperial court. Therefore, his request is very unreasonable, I will spare him for the crime of trespassing this time, and if there is a next time, I will definitely be severely punished! Kangxi said.

"Yes!" Gao Shiqi shook his head secretly, walked to the desk next to him again and lifted the brush.

"Say, 'Who should you send to herald?' Kangxi suddenly asked again.

"This ......" Except for Gao Shiqi, who was still drafting the decree and didn't hear it, everyone else was stirred up by Kangxi's words. Who to send to deliver the decree still need to ask a special question? Isn't it okay to just pick up a qualified one? Kangxi: This is something in the words!

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that he can send his will to Nanjing first! Ma De was born in the Jiangnan area, I am afraid that only Wei Huchen can suppress him! Tong Guowei thought about it, and then replied.

"Let Wei Dongting come forward to announce the decree? Isn't that a little too solemn? "Marzi hasn't turned a corner yet.

"Just let Wei Dongting go. By the way, let someone tell him that the second will should be announced to Ma De in the form of a secret decree, and there is no need to make a big fuss! In addition, the Ministry of Officials will immediately prepare an official document on the dismissal of the three prefects, and let Wei Dongting send it to Anhui together! …… Tong Guowei, it's up to you to do this! Kangxi ignored Ma Qi's words and continued.

"Minion Command. This is what the minion is going to do! "It seems that the emperor is still looking at this guy Ma De, and everything he puts on the bright side is fluttering, but the heavy words are hidden. Tong Guowei said in his heart while saluting Kangxi and withdrawing.

"Wait!" Kangxi suddenly called him again.

"Your Majesty, do you still have orders?" Tong Guowei stopped, turned to Kangxi, bowed to Kangxi, and asked.

"By the way, tell those officials of the Ministry of Officials that the vacancies of the three prefects in Anhui should not be filled for the time being!" Kangxi said.

“…… The slave got it. Tong Guowei bowed down again, and turned out depressed.
