"Everyone, let's see how I should punish this guy?"

In the Yamen of the Tianjin Navy Division, Kangxi's temporary station, Wu Huaxing, the chief soldier of the Zhili Navy Division, was kneeling in the hall that originally belonged to him, listening to Kangxi's speech in great despair. thought that he had prepared so much in half a day, at least he could get a comment of "loyal and competent", but he never thought that the horse's fart would actually be slapped on the horse's hooves, and Kangxi was not here for Tianjin at all.

"Hesheri's not a thing!"

Wu Huaxing didn't dare to scold Kangxi, but he had no scruples about Old Man Fei.

Although, when he hurried to Dagukou when he heard the news from his own soldiers, he was also shocked to see the ironclad ship moored there, but for the sake of an iron ship, he let himself face the situation of losing his black yarn hat, and just scolding those surnamed Hesheri had made him feel that his heart was very broad-minded.

"Your Majesty, Wu Hua's behavior flattered the Holy Will, and he actually drove the people for no reason, causing many officials and people in Tianjin to wait for a day and a night, and he violated his duties before becoming a minister. This is not a loyal monarch, but a harmful move to the monarch, which is really a disobedience to the emperor's entrustment of him to take charge of the Zhili Water Division. Therefore, the slave thought that Wu Huaxing acted arbitrarily, and the emperor should dismiss him as the chief soldier of the direct subordinate water division to set an example! ”

Hearing Kangxi's question, Tong Guowei, who ranked first among the courtiers, looked left and right, and stood up expressionlessly and said. The distance from Tianjin to Beijing is very close, and now the shipping is developed, Tianjin is one of the largest ports in the north, and the grain transported from Jiangnan to Gyeonggi every year is enough to make the important "nature" of this place several times stronger. It can be said that if there is a police in Tianjin, it will inevitably shake Gyeonggi and the world will be panicked.

Therefore, the status of the Zhili Naval Division is extremely high, which is equivalent to the Great Internal Guards and the Imperial Forest Army in the Naval Division, although it is the worst among the five major naval divisions in the Qing Dynasty. But it is the one that is the easiest to be promoted and the most able to influence the Jingshi. Originally, he and Lei Ru jointly recommended it, and it was not easy to persuade Kangxi to hand over such a position to Wu Huaxing, but who would have expected that this kid who had always behaved decently capsized in such a small gutter! Moreover, with such an example as Wu someone, if you want to get this position from Kangxi again, you don't even want to think about it. The power he has in his hands will inevitably lose a large piece because of this, how can he not be angry about this? However, Wu Huaxing can gain his trust to take this position, also because he has some skills at hand, Kangxi has been paying great attention to the exchanges between military generals and ministers since Suo Etu, and it is no longer possible for general-level generals to be transferred and dispatched by ministers like him at will. He was extremely angry in his heart. But he had to come forward and ask this guy for a lighter punishment first. Maybe he'll have to use this indisputable thing one day.

"Your Majesty, the slave is at fault. Be willing to be punished. It's just that the emperor is only grateful for the grace of the saint to make this outrageous move, which can give the slave a chance to atone for his sins! Wu Huaxing also kowtowed to Kangxi and said. can be a second-grade military attaché, he is not a stupid person, although Tong Guowei advocated the removal of his post as the chief soldier, but he can still hear the meaning of protection, so for his own future, he quickly expressed it.

"What do you think, Mazie?" Kangxi ignored Wu Huaxing. After signaling Tong Guowei to stand back, he asked Ma Qi again.

"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Tong said just now, the servants also agreed very much. However, the slave felt that what Tong Xiang said just now seemed to be a little incomplete. Ma Qi stood up and bowed to Kangxi and replied.

"Oh? How is it not quite? Kangxi asked casually.

"Your Majesty, just now Prime Minister Tong just said that Wu Huaxing should be dismissed from the post of chief soldier of the Zhili Water Division. But he didn't say that he should be demoted, or he should be directly deposed...... "Ma Qi didn't look at Tong Guowei's face, and even ignored Wu Huaxing's dough, which was already like chili sauce, and said directly there.

"Then you say, what should I do with our chief soldier of the Naoli Naval Division?" Kangxi smiled coldly and asked again. Tong Guowei could even hear the little language trick he was playing just now, how could he not see it? After so many years of intrigue, he can guess eight or nine without thinking about his number one minister, but in this case, it is not good for him to directly question Tong Guowei. However, now that Ma Qi pointed it out to his face, he naturally didn't have to be polite.

The slave thought that what Wu Huaxing did this time was not just as simple as acting without permission. In the eyes of the minion, if this matter is put on other officials, I am afraid that even if it is not so excessive, there will almost be such a move. …… Moreover, the emperor, as far as the servants know, now the government and the opposition, officials have become a common practice, and landed officials have done more than Wu Huaxing in order to be sycophant, and even to the point of shamelessness. The slave thought that at this time, when the emperor was going to rectify the rule of the court officials, he could take advantage of this matter to stop this evil spirit......" Ma Qi bowed and said.

"You mean that not only should this guy be severely punished, but also the matter should be reported to the world and the officials of the world should be warned?" Kangxi felt a little amused by Ma Qi's statement, this old guy can really say it, and he can actually associate it with a warning to officials in the world from Wu Huaxing's reckless behavior, and he is not tired of going around like this.

…… But then again, Marzi has some point.

…… I don't know how Yinzhen is doing in Jiangnan! mentioned "rectifying the rule of officials", Kangxi thought of the fourth child who was sent to the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to fight the front station, and thought of the task he assigned to the fourth son, and he was slightly distracted.

"Huang Ama, the sons thought that Wu Huaxing, as the chief soldier of the Zhili Water Division, did not train generals, did not cultivate military equipment, and only thought about how to please the monarch's father, and he was no longer worthy of being a general. Therefore, the retainers thought that the emperor should not only depose him from his official position, but also exile him to the frontier and let him suffer well. ”

Kangxi walked away for a while, and everyone thought that he was thinking about how to convict Wu Huaxing, so they didn't speak, and in this calm, the voice of the fourteenth prince Yinyu sounded a little abruptly.

"Huh? ......" Kangxi squinted his eyes and glanced at the three sons who were standing in front of him.

Lao Bayinyu lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, standing there without saying a word, looking humble, although he felt a little contrived, but he also felt a little better than before; The old thirteenth Yinxiang stood upright, his eyes blazing. The young man's face did not show his inner thoughts, but he knew very well what the "sex" of his favorite son was, and now, the always warlike Ebelle must be gesturing contemptuously in his heart. As for the old fourteenth Yinyu, it is similar to Yinxiang, and he is also so heroic, but. Compared with Yinxiang, this fourteenth elder brother is a little too sharp, and his "sex" seems to be a little too gloomy, perhaps, because Yinxiang has always overshadowed too much limelight.

"Fei Aiqing, you are my imperial minister, and you have always been resourceful, I want to hear your opinion!"

Thinking of Yinxiang, I thought of the five old men Fei who indirectly enabled Yinxiang to have the current scenery, so. Kangxi turned his gaze to the old man who was only behind Ma Qi.

"Your Majesty. The slave thought that just now Tong Xiang, Ma Xiang, and the words of the fourteenth elder brother. There are some problems with them! ”

Resourceful? Is there any necessary connection between dealing with problems and resourcefulness? …… Old man Fei slowly paced out from Ma Qi's side, bowed slightly towards Kangxi, hugged his fists, and said slowly.

"Master Fei, what's wrong with my words?" As soon as Old Man Fei finished speaking, Yinyu couldn't help but ask. Because he once gave a lesson on "international situation" to the princes, and there was also a "prince and princess"

, therefore, all the princes have to call Old Man Fei "master".

"Hehe, Fourteenth Elder Brother. The questions in your words are actually similar to the questions in Tong Xiang and Ma Xiang's words......" Old man Fei smiled and glanced at Yinyu, then lowered his eyelids, and didn't look at anyone again, even with Kangxi.

"Master Fei, Tong was not thoughtful just now, and there were indeed some problems in his words, but Tong didn't understand what was wrong with Ma Xiang's words, and I would like to ask you to give me advice." Tong Guowei is most disgusted with Old Man Fei's appearance of "I am a smart person". Although in many things, this old fellow does have a unique vision. However, the great minister Tong just didn't eat this set, after all, he Tong was the first assistant minister of "under one person, above ten thousand people", except for the emperor, whoever put on such a look in front of him was very ignorant.

"Fei Aiqing, I also want to hear what Tong Guowei and Ma Qi are not thinking about enough!" Although he has not been with Old Man Fei for a few years, Kangxi knows that Tong Guowei and Ma Qi are inferior to the old guy in front of him in terms of ability, knowledge, and adaptability. Therefore, seeing that Old Man Fei took the initiative to "provoke" Tong Guowei and Ma Qi in his rhetoric as soon as he came up, Tong Guowei looked unconvinced, Kangxi didn't want his important ministers to argue here, so he took over the opponent for his two cronies.

"Your Majesty, the slave just thinks that Tong Xiang and Ma Xiang are only thinking about how to deal with Wu Huaxing, which is really a bit biased and a little unfair!" Old man Fei raised his eyes to look at Kangxi, and then lowered his head and said.

"Unfair?"

From Kangxi, to the three Yinxi brothers, to Tong Guowei and Ma Qi, and even Wu Huaxing, who had been kneeling there in great pain, listening to others discussing how to clean up their Wu Huaxing, they were all stunned after hearing Old Man Fei's words.

"Could it be that this old fellow wants to intercede for me?" A certain sailor commander who had always felt that he was a disaster falling from the sky and walking in the sky was struck by lightning couldn't help but secretly start a dream.

"Your Majesty, just a general soldier of the Navy Division, how can it be difficult for the entire Tianjin army and people?

From the beginning to the end of this matter, from the Tianjin prefect to most officials at all levels were involved, who dares to say that there is no responsibility? I have a vast territory and many officials under my jurisdiction, who will never make a mistake? Therefore, we are not afraid of one person making mistakes, but of the movement of many people with the wind. Therefore, the slave thinks that if you want to punish, if you want the officials of the world to regard this as a warning, you should review all the Tianjin officials related to this matter, and then punish them according to the relevant responsibilities and laws! ”

Old man Fei lowered his head, and everyone couldn't see the expression on his face when he said this, but it was certain that as soon as he finished saying this, some people present already began to scold his mother in their hearts. …… One general soldier is not enough, this old guy still wants to put the officials of the entire Tianjin in a pot? It's such a big appetite, and he's not afraid to hold it up! However, everyone also knows that even if they hold on, they won't be able to hold on to Old Man Fei. Because this old guy didn't want to move his mouth himself, but wanted Kangxi to move his teeth.

"This old guy is deliberately trying to solve a problem for me!"

Kangxi stared at Old Man Fei, and his heart was on fire. Tianjin is close to the Gyeonggi region. There are many things, and most of them are very important. If the officialdom here is put in a pot, there will definitely be "chaos", and maybe the capital will also be in trouble. However, the nest fire returned to the nest fire, and what made him even more depressed was that even if he nested the fire again, he would not be able to erupt towards Old Man Fei. Because no matter how this old guy's words are heard, he is thinking about him and his local court. Moreover, he really couldn't tell what Old Man Fei was trying to give him a problem. I am still sincerely thinking about the court.

“……”

Old man Fei consciously retreated to Ma Qi's head again, his face expressionless, no one could imagine what kind of thoughts were turning in his heart. Of course, this does not include Old Man Fei himself.

After the eighth elder brother Yinxi took Ma Wu to Dalian to find him, although he was respectful to him at first, and he was called "master" and "master" anytime and anywhere, but it didn't take long for this kid to "show" his true face. This kid actually worked with Ma Wu to persuade him to give up building a railway!

Of course, he could understand why Yinxi chose to support Ma Wu instead of choosing him, an old man who seemed to have more power and more influence.

The face is, the Fucha family is compared to them. Have a more advantageous power in the court.

Marzi has been in the upper study for nearly twenty years. It is also a Manchu noble, and it has been noble for generations, whether it is in the court.

is still on the superstructure of the Manchus, and the influence they have is far more than that of those who can only have a certain foundation in Manchuria, so in order to gain the support of many officials in the imperial court, the eighth elder brother gave up the action of obtaining the support of these few people, and chose to hook up with the Ma Qi family and the power represented by this family. In other words, the strong thinking habit made this eighth elder brother make the same mistake as before again...... thought that as long as he got the support of most of the courtiers, he could be recognized by Kangxi and inherit the throne. Although this kid's current performance seems to be only because he can't see the great prospects of the railway and has to choose Ma Wu for support, Old Man Fei can be 100% sure. That's what Yinxi thinks in his heart!

That's right, now the person who can see the value of the railway land can be said to be one of the thousands of miles, and it is not a good choice to offend the Ma Qi brothers or even bear Kangxi's blame for such a thing that does not know what the result will be, especially for people like Yinxi, who always have their eyes on the throne, being blamed by Kangxi is far more serious than any harm. However, while Yinxi made a choice, it also made Old Man Fei feel embarrassed. He can not care about Ma Wu, but he can't care less about Yinxi, who came on behalf of Kangxi. So, in order to shock the two short-sighted ghosts with little vision, Old Man Fei had no choice but to install only three steam engines on the ship...... In fact. The modification of the ship could have been done after the development of the steam engine, but he had not told the outside world in order to delay the time and adapt to the plans they had already made. And now it is a last resort to show a hole card in advance.

The power displayed by the two large sailing ships, as well as the iron ship that had been able to float on the water but could not sail, after being equipped with a steam engine, easily shocked the two "scientific reactionaries" Yinxi and Ma Wu. If you can move a large ship made of almost pure steel, and the speed is not low, then it should not be difficult to pull a large cart with iron wheels on the rails!

The true and powerful proof made Ma Wu and Yinxi have nothing to say, and both of them almost handed over this matter to Kangxi in the shortest possible time. As a result, Kangxi ordered him and Yinxi to escort the three modified steam engine ships to Tianjin for "review", which is the "face saint" usually asked.

However, Old Man Fei didn't expect that Kangxi only encouraged him warmly after getting on the boat for a visit, and after getting off the boat and arriving at the Yamen of the Chief Soldier of the Naval Division, he actually mentioned how to deal with the sins committed by Wu Huaxing.

What does this mean?

Old man Fei's heart and eyes are not much less than Kangxi's, and besides, Kangxi used to respect him for his old age and high merit, and he always had to give him a seat when they met, but now he just let him stand behind Ma Qi, and he didn't ask for a long time......

Therefore, Old Man Fei unceremoniously threw Kangxi a problem.

"Boy, you want to show this indifference, let's restrain ourselves, okay! You are the emperor, that is your freedom! However, I don't eat dry rice, so I'll throw you a little trouble today, and I'll ...... We'll see! ”

Old man Fei thought secretly in his heart. And what about the emperor? What about Kangxi? The east wind blows, the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom in this world?
