"Alas, this Ma De, before he has done anything, he will cause such a big mess for me first......" After Tong Guowei walked out, Kangxi sighed again.

"Your Majesty, in fact, what Ma De has done, there are some things that can make people gain." Marzie said suddenly.

"Oh? Mazie, what did you think of? Kangxi asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty. The minions feel that the 'survival of the fittest' mentioned in Ma De's compromise is indeed worth pondering for politicians! Ma Qi replied.

"Read on!" Kangxi seemed interested.

"Your Majesty," Ma Qi stood in the middle of the upper study, "Since ancient times, as long as officials don't commit any major crimes, most of them can go up but down. If you stay in one place for a long time, you can become a problem. Moreover, most officials are just struggling for qualifications and do not do things; Although Ma De's method is too rough, it makes the minions' eyes shine. Do you think, if three magistrates are dismissed every once in a while, will those officials who are trying to qualify or exploit the people for profit still dare to mess around? Moreover, his method can also make those officials who are brave enough to do things more courageous. ”

"That's a good point. But, Marzie, have you seen the advantages of Mader's method, but have you ever seen the disadvantages of it? Kangxi smiled.

"The slave is foolish, please ask the emperor to teach you!" Ma Qi asked, bowing down.

"You don't need to teach, you just have to think about it! …… Gao Shiqi, has the will been prepared? Kangxi asked Gao Shiqi again.

"Your Majesty, it's ready!" Hearing Kangxi call himself, Gao Shiqi hurriedly handed over the two prepared holy decrees.

……

"Well, the article is well written, and the article is very good. But, Gao Shiqi! …… Don't you think there's anything wrong? Kangxi unfolded the two holy decrees and asked Gao Shiqi again.

"Your Majesty, your will has been written into it, and the ministers have not deleted or added to it!" Gao Shiqi said "confused".

"Hehe, Gao Shiqi...... You're getting bolder! Kangxi suddenly changed his face, snorted coldly, and said Senran.

"Wechen is terrified!" Gao Shiqi's scalp was flashed, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Hmph, what kind of brain are you? Come with me for this? Who is Mader? Can he understand four or six pun scripts? You Gao Shiqi can't even think of this? What is your purpose? Kangxi asked angrily, and the two pieces of yellow silk were thrown in front of Gao Shiqi by him.

"Please forgive the emperor! The emperor, the minister, the minister really didn't expect it for a while! ......," Gao Shiqi shouted.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiang's negligence for a while is also excusable...... I didn't think that Kangxi would suddenly get angry about this, Ma Qi immediately knelt down for Gao Shiqi to intercede out of comradeship, and Zhang Tingyu also said a few words, but although he knelt very quickly, he was much calmer than Ma Qi.

"Humph!" Kangxi ignored the pleas of the other two people, and just continued to reprimand Gao Shiqi sharply, "Unexpected? Gao Shiqi, you have also been an official in front of me for many years, what kind of character you are, I don't know? These days, I've always felt that you're playing a lot less than usual. It's not like you! Now, you have used four or six pun texts to deal with me, do you not want to work for me anymore, do you not want to be the minister of the study? ”

"Please forgive the emperor, the minister has no such intention! Chen, Chen really didn't expect it! Because Chen has a recent matter, he is a little sluggish...... "You are so smart, I want to retire a little, but I don't need to say this explicitly, right?" Gao Shiqi secretly admired Kangxi's mind in his heart, but he couldn't admit it even if he was killed. And when it came to this, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to plead indiscriminately.

"Sluggish? Hmph, good! Just tell me, what are you thinking about......" Kangxi stared at Gao Shiqi and asked coldly.

"Back to the emperor, this matter is said in the upper study, the minister is afraid ......" Gao Shiqi looked a little embarrassed.

"What are you afraid of? Could it be that there are still ghosts in my study? Kangxi asked.

"Don't dare! Your Majesty, the minister is just afraid that if he says this, he will collide with you! Gao Shiqi raised his eyelids upwards, but he could only see Kangxi's imperial case.

"Collision? Heh," Kangxi smiled, "Then I have to listen to what you're up to." Say, I'm not afraid of your collision! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister just said......" Carefully straightened his waist, Gao Shiqi looked at Kangxi's face, and carefully opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's insider, she is happy!" ”

“……”

"Congratulations to Gao Xiang, congratulations to Gao Xiang......"

It was Ma Qi who reacted first, and he didn't care about Kangxi, so he directly congratulated Gao Shiqi first. And Gao Shiqi couldn't help but return the salute, "Thank you, thank you, Ma Xiang, you're polite!" ”

"Gao Shiqi, you're not from Meng, are you?" Kangxi was also stirred up by Gao Shiqi's words, how many years have this Gao Shiqi and his family not moved! Therefore, he couldn't help but ask such a question, regardless of how much of a crime Gao Shiqi would be if he really admitted his words.

"Your Majesty, how dare the ministers bully the king? The minister is now close to knowing the year of the mandate of heaven, and the minister's insiders are also more than thirty, which can be described as a middle-aged child! Therefore, the minister is both happy and worried, so his mind is in a trance, and he has lost the emperor's favor! Gao Shiqi replied.

"Hmmm! In that case, I have to congratulate you too! Kangxi sat upright again, smiled and said to Gao Shiqi.

"Don't dare!" Gao Shiqi kowtowed again.

"Alright, stop kneeling, get up!" Kangxi exhaled slightly and called Gao Shiqi again.

"Hehe, it looks like I'll have to prepare a few gifts later! The middle-aged man has a son, this is a great joy! Zhang Tingyu suddenly interjected with a rare smile.

"Reasonable! Come! Kangxi nodded and shouted loudly outside the study.

"Please ask the emperor to command!" The imperial guard walked in and kowtowed.

"Go and send an order to the Internal Affairs Office, and ask them to send a few old grandmothers from Mama's Mansion to Gao Shiqi's house; In addition, go to the Tai Hospital again, and let them send the best imperial doctor to go to Gaofu for a consultation every day, there must be no mistake! Kangxi commanded.

"Wow!" The guards took the order and left.

"Thank you, Emperor Longen!" Kangxi sent someone to take care of the pregnant woman, and Gao Shiqi hurriedly thanked him.

"No need! Gao Shiqi, that lady of yours seems to have been destined for a good time, right? Kangxi waved his hand and asked again.

"Back to the emperor, he was blessed a few years ago, and he is already a good order!" Gao Shiqi replied.

"Yipin is already the highest rank of a life woman, since this is the case, I will give you a jade ruyi to take home, and I wish you and your wife a noble son as soon as possible!" Kangxi said.

"Thank you for the emperor's gift!" Gao Shiqi replied.

"No thanks! Gao Shiqi, your wife I have already sent someone to take care of you, you can also put your mind at ease. Haosheng put his mind on state affairs, don't play any more 'trance'! Kangxi said again.

"The emperor's teachings, the ministers must keep them in mind!" Gao Shiqi bowed and replied.

"Hmmm! That's good! …… You first redraft these two wills for me, and then I grant you a three-day vacation to stay at home with your wife!" However, after three days, I want you to go back to the study honestly! Kangxi said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Please rest assured that the emperor will not make any more mistakes! Gao Shiqi bowed again.

……

"Gao Xiang, the disadvantage of Ma Dena's method lies in the superiors?" Coming out of the upper study, Ma Qi grabbed Gao Shiqi again, and while expressing his congratulations to Gao Shiqi again, he asked about the incident just now. His mind was slow, and he was disturbed by Gao Shiqi's matter just now, and he couldn't figure it out in a moment when he could have figured it out, but he didn't think of it until now.

"That's right, that's right, it's the superior one." The survival of the fittest is good, but its power is in the provincial capital. If the people in the provincial government are biased, this move will only harm the public! Gao Shiqi hugged a two-foot-long green jade Ruyi and a jade cabbage given by Kangxi, and tried very hard to separate Ma Qi from him.

"Sure enough! …… By the way, Gao Xiang, and Zhang Xiang, what do you think of Ma De's method of using Xiucai who participated in the township test to supervise officials' governance? Why didn't the emperor mention it? Ma Qi bowed his head and asked again.

"It's a really good way. Most of the scholars are still in the prime of their careers, and they have experienced little wind and rain, and there are not a few who are jealous and evil. If, as Ma De said, these people sealed the political affairs of their counties and townships and submitted them together in the examination papers, it would indeed be a way to supervise officials. However, it has not yet been tried, and it is difficult to discern whether this method is good or bad. Therefore, the emperor did not mention it, but just wanted to see what the results would be after the trial in Anhui. Moreover, this matter also involves people in higher positions, if the chief examiner has bad intentions, it is easy to have an accident! However, after all, there are many candidates, even if some people want to cover people's eyes, it is not easy to do. Gao Shiqi replied.

"Hmm...... Thank you for your advice! Ma Qi nodded and thanked Gao Shiqi.

"You're welcome!" Gao Shiqi was inconvenient to return the gift while holding something, so he had to owe it.

"There are still some things to deal with next, you two will slow down for the time being, I'll go first!" Ma Qi hugged his fists at Gao Shiqi and Zhang Tingyu again, and left. And as soon as he walked for a while, Zhang Tingyu looked at the jade Ruyi and jade cabbage held in Gao Shiqi's arms and smiled slightly, and teased Gao Shiqi:

"Gao Xiang has gained a lot today!"

"Harvest?" Gao Shiqi glanced at Zhang Tingyu angrily, "You still laugh at me?" Isn't the emperor's meaning obvious? This is called 'all the best'," Gao Shiqi shook the jade Ruyi on the left, and then shook the jade cabbage on the right, "This is 'go home and nibble on the cabbage'!" Your Majesty is warning me! …… Alas! ”
