Chapter 333: Entering the Right Line
"Ministers and others see the emperor!"
Ma De was there to train people, and he didn't see Kangxi coming over, but that doesn't mean that others didn't see it. There were more than ten people at a table, and when they saw Kangxi approaching, they all stood up in a hurry, and they were about to kowtow as soon as they rolled up their sleeves.
"I said I don't have to be formal, it's all forgiven!"
Kangxi smiled and raised his hand slightly, and said to the officials.
"Your Majesty, you ......"
After Ma De reacted, he also saluted Kangxi with everyone, and not long after the banquet began, Ma De was quite surprised that Kangxi immediately ran to his side.
"Master Ma, you are the dignified governor of Jiangnan, and your seat is in front. How did you get here? Yinchu asked with a smile while holding a wine glass. He's doing well in North America. To him, it was not yet an amusement park to be hired at will, but the many tribes of Indians and the ranks of Western colonists of up to a few hundred men were no threat to him in the face of his ability to regularly receive funding from the Qing Dynasty. In addition to handing over a certain amount of gold ore and some rare specialties to the Qing court every year, he is the boss of North America. This is much cooler than staying in the Qing court and fighting for power and profit. He is now in middle age, like Ma De, and he has long been distracted from many materialistic pleasures, and it is already his greatest wish to open up a territory of his own to his children and grandchildren. And in the investigation of all this, it cannot but be said that there is a factor of "persuasion" by Luo Xin and Yu Zhong.
In addition, he has never had any conflicts of interest with Ma De and others, so among the people who came over, he was the most open-minded.
"Yes, Master Ma, you're going to make fun of you." Yinren also laughed. went to Luzon to become a duke, although he was depressed, but he also knew that this was Kangxi's generosity.
Otherwise, with what he did, he would at least be banned. Staying in a small yard can be a few years, maybe even decades, this kind of encounter. He shuddered to think about it. Although Kangxi has not established a prince again in the past few years, it always makes him feel itchy in his heart, and this time he specially recalled him to accompany him, which made him very excited. However, when he learned that Yinchu had also returned, he immediately sobered up. Therefore, he just wants to make Kangxi as happy as possible before leaving, so that Kangxi can give him more rights and control Luzon well...... At least. That's a foundation, isn't it?
"Huh...... The two elder brothers teased. Ma De looked at the two princes in front of him with a smile on his face and said with a smile.
"Master Ma, who is this?" Yinzhi pointed at the official that Ma De had just reprimanded, and then asked Ma De.
"Hehe......" Ma De saw that these people had begun to pay attention, so he turned around and pulled the young official who had been reprimanded by him just now, "This is an unreasonable boy." Let the emperor and the lords laugh. ”
"Oh?" When Kangxi and the four princes heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to the young man who came over from Madeira. Look at this kid is also an official rank from the fifth grade, how can he get so much attention from Ma De?
"You're from the Ministry of War? What is your name? Yin Zhen has always been square, and when he saw that the young official's face was a little angry, he didn't like it. But. He didn't dare to make a judgment about the people that Ma De liked easily, so he just asked.
"Back to ...... Back to the emperor, four Ah ...... Elder brother. Ministers, ministers and soldiers, Li Wei, a member of the foreign army, knock to see! ”
Not an outsider. The few who can be valued by Ma De are not those who are a little famous. Although Li Wei is not famous now, he is the target of Ma De's courtship. It's just that this kid doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and he let Ma De arrange for him to be an official in his Taiwan yamen, and he actually went to the capital to donate a soldier Wailang (which is true), which really made Ma De very angry.
"Lee... Xi looked at this young man, and he didn't like the flow of anger that was quite obvious on Li Wei's face. However, in the same way, the people who can be valued by Ma De are now chasing after the banquet of Tiren Pavilion, which is not a place that ordinary people can enjoy. Such a person. Naturally, conclusions cannot be easily drawn. Others can't, and so can he. If he's wrong, he can't afford to lose face.
"Minister......" Li Weidi has always been bold. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so unappreciative of Mader's valuation. In Jiangnan, except for a limited number of people, no one dares to come to such a place with Ma De.
However, now he is facing Kangxi. This old man has been on the throne for fifty years, and his prestige is so heavy that just standing there has already made him a little dizzy. And now the emperor directly aimed his gaze at him and kept looking, this feeling made him feel as if he had suddenly jumped into the deepest part of the Black Dragon Pond in a certain mountain in his hometown...... Pressed again.
I was suffocating to death. However, he was uncomfortable here, and the other officials at the same table with him were dying of envy. What an honor it is for the governor of Jiangnan to personally "recommend" in front of the emperor? Most of these people are already in their forties and fifties, and the officials have already foreseen Li Wei's future glory.
"Well, if you can be valued by the governor of Jiangnan, it must be extraordinary. Young people, let's work harder. "As the emperor, Kangxi is the attention of all eyes, and it has shocked some people to come to Ma De so directly, how can he waste time on a low-grade petty official? Therefore, Kangxi glanced at Li Wei and then turned around and left. However, he also untied Li Weidi's "hoop" by the way.
"Mader, come to the study later, I have something to say to you!"
"Slaves obey!"
Ma De turned his head and glared at Li Wei helplessly. Law and order is not good, especially in an era when the judiciary is not sound. Therefore, for Li Wei, a capable public security official, he has always thought about it quickly.
He wanted to let this kid exercise in Zhang Boxing's Yamen first, but he didn't expect this kid to come to Beijing. Moreover, Li Wei asked for leave to hide after he arrived in the capital, and he was sure of the difficulty that he couldn't live in the capital for a long time, otherwise, he would not have chased him to the banquet regardless of his identity. It's a pity that Kangxi's arrival made his efforts come to naught. Ma De turned around with a little disappointment and followed the leading eunuch to the outside of the hall. Although it is still a short time before the feast, the emperor can't let the old man wait.
……
"Huang Ama, this Li Wei ...... I think I've heard of it somewhere! Mader left, so he didn't know that someone had suddenly opened his mind.
"Oh? What did he do? Kangxi didn't think Li Wei was so prominent. I looked at it just now, and I didn't think this kid was bold, and I didn't think there was much righteousness. I was about to stay for a while to ask why Ma De took a fancy to this kid, and when he heard Yinren's words, he immediately asked.
"Huang Ama, back then, Ma De handled the Li Yuchang case, as if this Li Wei had to 'insert' a hand in it." Yinren said with a little embarrassment. Although he did not directly "intervene" in the Li Yuchang case back then, he still used a lot of strength in order to protect Xu Zuyin, the then Jiangsu prosecutor. Pity. Whether it is hard or soft, it will eventually fail in the face of the "big stick" of Mader's almost total oppression. not only got Xu Zuyin to Hokkaido, but also compensated the Jiangning general Sunu, who had been brought over with great difficulty. Since then, no one in the whole of Jiangsu has dared to come out to sing against Ma Deming. The nicknames of "Ma Dadao" and "Ma Wangye" were also "given" to Ma De by the people of Jiangsu after that case. He was very angry about this at the beginning, so he thought about revenge. He can't move Made, but he can still clean up the people who help Made. However, not long after the investigation, before he had time to act, Lao Zhibi and those people instigated him to set off a storm to clean up the deficit and frame the boss and the eighth boss who were vying for power and profit with him. And then there was a series of things. I didn't care about it anymore.
"That was years ago. This Li Wei looks like he is only twenty years old, and he was probably sixteen or seventeen years old back then, how could he be able to "intervene" in such a big case? ”
Yin Yu asked with a frown. Li Yuchang's case made Ma De almost shave the officialdom of Jiangsu. Whether it is involved or not. He carefully investigated them. Later, because of another Qing official, Zhang Boxing, who succeeded Xu Zuyin, and Ma De joined the wall with his sword, which almost made the officials of the Ministry tired. In the end, in just two years, the number of people affected by the aftermath of the case was several times more than that of those who were dismissed or executed because of the case.
"I don't know. Perhaps, it's because this Li Wei is the younger brother of Li Scale, the political envoy. That Li Liang is Ma De's favorite general, and he recommends his family to Ma De. Not an exaggeration! Yinren silently gave Ma De a black hand. Although he has no hope for the throne now, this does not mean that he is a magnanimous man. Tell Kangxi that Ma De appoints a private person, and it is always okay to take a small revenge.
"It turned out to be a capable official who handled cases." Kangxi nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the princes again, and said, "Yinzhen, talk to Ma Qi and them later, and transfer this Li Wei to the Criminal Department." Let's see if we can do something about it. ”
"Sons obey orders!" Yin Yu bowed and replied.
"Hehe, isn't that the old king? Yinren. Go, toast your master! ”
Kangxi glanced at the entire banquet, and suddenly said to Yinren.
"Yes, Erchen will go over!" When Yinren heard Kangxi's order, he immediately took a wine jug from the eunuch next to him and held it in his hand, and walked towards the prince and prince Wang Wei not far away.
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look." Kangxi gave another order, and walked over with the princes to the place where several old ministers gathered.
"Transfer Li Wei to the Criminal Department. What does Huang Ama want to do? Could it be that the rumors that he will be transferred to the middle of the war department are true? The banquet was very lively, but Yinzhen, who had never liked to be lively, began to think about it 'chaotically'. Li Wei can be valued by Ma De, he must be quite capable, is it to transfer such a capable person out of the military department, is it to avoid this kid from having some cross-contact with Yu Zhong, who may come back to serve as the secretary of the military department? Although there doesn't seem to be much of a connection here, Yinzhen always thinks about this aspect unconsciously. And the more I think about it, the more in-depth it becomes...... However, he and his brothers, as well as Kangxi, probably couldn't have imagined that transferring Li Wei to the Criminal Department would be a real match.
