Chapter 189: Fourth Brother vs. Fourth Master: Best Partner
"The Qincha is to be sent, and this person is the one who chooses ......"
Changchun Garden is in the apse, Kangxi is leaning on the soft collapse, and his tone is leisurely, as if it is difficult to decide.
This was a rather unconventional discussion, Song Zhu, Xiao Yongzao, Wang Luo, and Li Guangdi were all there, four of the five scholars came, and one Wenda was left to be ill, and the cabinet was almost complete. In addition to the university scholars, there is also Ma Qi, the head of the Internal Affairs Department of the Bureau, who is considered an idler.
That's it, after all, Ma Qi is also a former university scholar, but the strange thing is that there is still a group of people standing in the corner, all with yellow belts wrapped around their waists. This is a bunch of adult brothers, three, four, five, seven, ten, and twelve or fourteen.
Yesterday, Kangxi issued an edict and set the theme, that is, the matter of Guangdong, and the scholars and brothers felt weird. Elder brothers collectively participate in national political discussions, which is not compliant. The scholars speculated, the brothers connected in series, and found out that the annotator was ordered to be removed from the attendant, and the meeting place was a side hall, and they all came to the conclusion: It seems that Kangxi didn't take it seriously, just chatted casually.
The reaction of the scholar and the elder brother to this conclusion was completely different. The scholar is downward, pricking up his ears and condensing his mind, just to see what cards Kangxi plays. But Brother is full of heartstrings, and he has to see if there is any loophole that can get ahead, so he can drill hard.
At the beginning of the meeting, Kangxi looked as usual, and did not explain the intention of such a strange gathering, but like a nagging family, from the Shunfeng express case in Jiangnan, to Guangdong's drilling camp in the strange and silver skill, and finally said worriedly that in the long run, people's hearts will be corrupted, political obstruction will collapse, and the world will be in danger.
This is an important surname to emphasize the Guangdong issue, and everyone agrees with it. Then Kangxi said with a sad face, this matter is difficult to understand, I don't know where to start, and I don't know how much force to use, so I want everyone to brainstorm.
There is only one thing that can be determined about the matter in Guangdong, that is, what is the specific situation, Yanjing is black-eyed here. So this brainstorming quickly came to a conclusion, and we had to send Qin to investigate and see what was wrong.
"Most of them are greedy craftsmen gathering, ignoring the laws of the court as nothing, and the localities also cover them, wandering through the gaps in regulation, this matter involves the rule of officials!"
Li Guangdi was very angry, he knew the local government affairs, glass, mud and stone, and the imperial court had no relevant laws and regulations before, so that's all, but the pulley is an iron industry, and the local government wants to approve the iron industry, and it must be controlled according to the forbidden things. Now it is so flooded, horse-drawn carriages are also used, boats are also used, it is said that Jiangnan looms are also used, oh, that loom is also made of iron, this is simply out of control, there must be a lot of officials behind the corruption.
Therefore, the direction he suggested was to start with the investigation of the officials in Guangdong, and send Qin to Guangdong to strictly investigate to see if the local officials were colluding with industry and commerce and deceiving the imperial court.
Li Guangdi's words went straight to the crux of the matter, and Kangxi nodded again and again, and the tone was set. And then Kangxi asked who to send as the Qincha, which made everyone a little surprised, this is to determine the candidate for the Qincha in advance?
The scholars began to discuss the matter, and at this time the idlers jumped out and began to kowtow.
"The matter of Guangdong, if it is really as Li Guangdi said, I am afraid that the officials of the whole province are corrupt, even if Shangshu goes to Guangdong, it will be difficult to deal with the beginning and the end, and it can only be deterred by the ministers in person."
The scholars frowned, they were all old men, and they were not in good health, going to Guangdong? Is that telling them not to come back?
The brothers were thinking, most of them were asking for help in a circle.
Then Marzie's words shocked everyone, and they all suspected that they had heard it wrong.
"But all of you are old, and it is difficult to go through hard work. Weichen is arrogant, this candidate for Qincha, the brothers are the best! ”
The hall was silent for a while, and then Kangxi's loud rebuke sounded.
"Ridiculous! Unconscious! ”
Kangxi seemed angry.
"Such a trivial political matter, how can I let these unsuccessful sons to hold on!? Let them stand here today, just to listen, I see that you Ma Qi has also been away from the court for too long, and I don't know that state affairs are difficult! ”
Ma Qi, who was reprimanded, kowtowed repeatedly, but his heart was comfortable. Kangxi's tone was purely deliberately hung up, there was no anger at all, he was old Kangxi, and there was still some kung fu to figure it out. It seems that he really understood the emperor's meaning and helped the emperor become a bird.
The scholars suddenly thought, no wonder Kangxi said that he wanted to recruit his brother today, and he went around in a big circle, but in fact, the sacred heart had been decided, and he wanted to send his brother to Guangdong. And Ma Qi, an idler, turned out to be a trustee.
can think about it again, Kangxi also had to go around in a big circle. It is very common for the prince to be in charge of the government, but he can go to Guangdong, which is really out of line, out of line in one word: far. This should be far from two aspects, one is insecurity. In the Qing Dynasty, except for the royal family who commanded the troops and fought in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou, no one ran there, and they were afraid that they would not adapt to the water and soil. With a daughter like Brother, no one can afford to have an accident. Second, because of the distance, the prince wants to act wantonly, and the news is slow to come and go, and I don't know what big basket will be poked. Although the prince of the Qing Dynasty is more capable than the former Ming clan, he has a special identity after all, and it is impossible to take care of the overall situation like an ordinary official.
The second worry could not be exported, and the scholars ignored Kangxi's hypocrisy, as if waiting for them to echo their words, and they all followed Kangxi to accuse Ma Qi, wanting to extinguish Kangxi's whimsy. Li Guangdi also said that he was a Fujian and knew about Cantonese affairs, so he asked for help, and only then did he see that Kangxi's face really showed a bit of anger.
Kangxi didn't hook up with the scholars, and the brothers here couldn't bear it anymore. The ninth, the tenth, and even the fourteenth all looked at the eighth Yinxi, and the eighth also stood up as a matter of course. Although Guangdong is indeed too far away, it is still fearful in the past, but such an important task, how can you take it on your body and earn back some points for yourself.
"Sons and Daughters Wish ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Kangxi's roar.
"Do you want to check how prosperous your bank's business is, or do you want to find a foreigner to create a more fitting foreign armor!?"
The air suddenly condensed, and Yinxi seemed to have been hit in the head by a hammer, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and his face was pale and he quickly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, although he didn't know what taboo he had committed.
Kangxi snorted impatiently and waved his hand, not looking at Yinxi, who shrank like a dog with a broken backbone, and then said in a deep voice: "This matter is colluded between officials and businessmen, and the involvement is quite complicated, and people who do not have great determination will go to a bad thing......
He said, glancing at the other sons. Yin Zhen, who had been shrinking in the crowd, clearly felt that Kangxi's gaze stopped on him.
A flame rose from the bottom of Yinzhen's heart, and he didn't hesitate for a moment, strode out of the ranks, stretched out his robe, and smashed his knees on the ground.
"My son is willing to go!"
These four words are like knives, cold and sharp, and they also carry freshly stained human blood, and the heat overflows.
Coming out of Changchun Garden, Yinzhen only felt like a dream.
In the palace, he acted contrary to the past and took the initiative to ask for help, Kangxi said two good words in a row, and then the sentence "I think the fourth child has this determination" blocked the mouths of the scholars, and then left him alone to advise, so that his heart finally sank. You must know that the moment he knelt down, he actually regretted it.
Yin Zhen has always known that Kangxi will not give the position to his son. After the prince was deposed, the men were also encouraging him to act, but he knew very well that he had no hope. Because of his surname and his style of acting, Kangxi didn't like it, and even said that the teacher didn't teach him well. Although he was made a prince, he never took over any serious affairs. Pingsu devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism, wanted to polish his surname, and did not expect to rely on this matter to make Kangxi completely change his opinion of himself, so he prevented Lao Bayi and his gang from rectifying, he was not as powerful as Lao Bayi. The stone lion in front of the main gate of Prince Yong's Mansion is not as good as the floor tiles at the back door of Babeile Mansion, which is so desolate that it is infiltrating. 【1】
But he is a man, and that little thought in his heart always exists, and if he really has an opportunity, he will never let it go.
Back to the palace, Yinzhen was already cold and calm, Huang Ama said, the trip to Guangdong, you must be determined, it seems that your own Huang Ama is fancy your own knife, I don't know, Huang Ama is wielding his own knife, what kind of demon is he going to kill?
"I am the sword, and the knife is also me, and what I want to cut must not be determined by my eyes and my heart? The right and wrong after the beheading will be judged by the emperor, just ask for a clear conscience! ”
He smiled coldly, and hesitated.
Sending the prince out of Guangdong to inspect things really shook the court, and he also sent the fourth child who was harsh and unkind, which made people palpitate. Even Li Guangdi specially found Tang Youzeng and Tian Congdian, and asked them to inform the Guangdong side as soon as possible, and put away anything as soon as possible.
"Guangdong...... The blood is about to rise. ”
Li Guangdi sighed so emotionally, of course, he was talking about Guangdong officialdom, and he was not talking about the fourth child. Kangxi chose the fourth child to go to Guangdong before, and the scene was too disrespectful, so that they felt dry when they wanted to cheer. The one who really wanted to use the knife was actually Kangxi, and the blade faintly brought in the old Bayi Party. It's a pity that no matter whether it's the fourth or the eighth, they haven't realized that they are actually churning on Kangxi's board.
Of course, Li Guangdi will not say these words, in the past few years, Kangxi has often talked to him about the storage position, and Li Guangdi can see through the disputes between the elder brothers. Sending the fourth child to Guangdong this time is by no means a whim.
In Li Guangdi's view, at the previous court meeting, the casual gossip of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Heshuo reminded Kangxi. He never decided on a place, but the ministers had to stand in line in advance. The affairs of Guangdong have a certain relationship with the formation of the old eight. The wind of this standing line has already blown to the place. The consequence of forming a local party is to deceive the imperial court and seek profit as a whole. The fact that Guangdong craftsmen corrupted national politics with miraculous skills and silver ingenuity and affected Jiangnan is just the tip of the iceberg where the whole thing has surfaced.
On the one hand, this matter involves the fundamentals of national politics, and on the other hand, it involves the battle for the storage position, and it is not enough to work from the court, so Kangxi wants to swing a knife at Guangdong, and ordinary courtiers can't do it. Only the fourth child, who is not only the prince, has never jumped for the storage position, and acts coldly, when he followed the prince earlier, he has been on the wrong path with the eighth child, which is suitable for doing this.
"Let one son clean up the other, this is the sorrow of the Lord......"
Li Guangdi was very helpless, all he could do was to ask Kangxi to send another important person to help, and Kangxi had to listen to this. Sending the prince to Guangdong has already shrugged up, and then it is a single Qincha, Kangxi himself is not at ease, so he sent the Zuodu Yushi Yuxu and the official department Shangshu Zhang Pengxi as the same Qincha, and limited the affairs of the Qincha to "Qing County Government Industry and Commerce", that is, how big is the gap between the verification of the local industrial and commercial situation and the situation of the prefecture and county register.
With these two carriages, the shock of the fourth child out of Guangdong is not so big, and among these two people, Kuo Xu is a well-known Eight Masters Party, Zhang Pengxi does not have too obvious tendencies, and on the surface, it is not aimed at the Old Bayi Party.
A prince, the head of a word official, and a secretary of the ministry, this battle is unprecedented, and the court's attention finally turned to the original appearance of the affairs of Guangdong.
When Kangxi and Li Guangdi were discussing Yinzhen's partner, Yinzhen was also having a headache for his entourage. He was determined to do this, but he had no one under him. I wilted the onions for too long before, and I was all mixed up with monks, and there were no experts in the door who were familiar with government affairs. Dai Duo, the only one who had a little brain, couldn't control his hands and mouth, and he couldn't help but talk to him about the things he buried in his heart, and he sent him to Hangzhou.
That's right...... Hangzhou, it should be just passing by.
Dai Duo is a person who is loyal and clever, as long as he doesn't squat in the capital and speaks those faint words to be heard, he is still a good helper.
Then Yinzhen thought again, he should also bring the monk Jialingyin of the West Berlin Temple, the monk is very good at getting married, and it is good to find out the news outside.
In addition to the accompanying general family members, there are only these two available talents, Yinzhen is hurting, Menzi suddenly reported, saying that the Ministry of Rites member Wailang asked to see, Yinzhen was annoyed at the moment, a member of the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of Rites? Has Prince Tayong's Mansion also become the boundary of the autumn wind?
The word "not seen" was about to be exported, but he remembered the phrase "if something is abnormal, it is a demon", pressed his annoyance, and saw the person.
The first impression of Yinzhen was very bad, because this guy ...... is very tall, and his face is full of scars, and the first thing he said was: "Lord Wang, this trip to Guangdong, the lower official can come in handy!" ”
Yin Zhen squinted at him and asked, "How can you dare to boast like this!?" ”
The man raised his eyebrows: "The lower officials know the root of this Guangdong matter!" ”
Yinzhen was silent, so he looked at him coldly, the other party's eyes met him, full of confidence, and he was not afraid, so that Yinzhen's annoyance disappeared by a small half, at least this person is a man who dares to do things.
"You...... What is it called? ”
When Menzi reported just now, Yinzhen didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Xiaguan Li Wei!"
The tall man replied in a deep voice.
Yingde Li Zhuang, the plaque with the words "Baihualou" is hung on a new small building next to Qingtianji, and the firecrackers are crackling, which is the tenth Baihualou in Guangdong, and the first in Yingde. The widow of the king in the past, and now Wang Baihua, finally returned to her hometown with her career.
This is just a small happy event, and the big happy event is still being held in the inner fort of Lizhuang. On the flat dam of the inner fort, the colorful shed is high, and the tables are full of seats, and on the two-story small building, Li Xi is firmly in the main seat, and he is the elder representative of both men and women.
"You're getting ahead of me."
Li Xian smiled and said to Widow Wang and Tao Fu that the pair was indeed a little unexpected. Wang's widow Tao Fu was four or five years old, and she also had a teenager, but Tao Fu was stunned to look at her, and took advantage of the Lantern Festival to pass and the company's annual meeting was over, and she went back to Yingde to do business.
Two or three years ago, this pair of combinations would have attracted a lot of discussions, but now not only have Li Zhuang's people seen more and the atmosphere has opened, but the identities of these two people have also become too much, and few people chew their tongues anymore.
The name of the widow Wang "Wang Baihua" has been spread out of the Guangzhou Mansion, although the goods operated by Baihualou are miscellaneous, but they are better than the variety, the supply is stable, a set of business methods, whether rich or poor, they feel comfortable, and the reputation is spreading. With the big boss Li Xi behind, she, the big shopkeeper, is naturally not more than ordinary people.
Tao Fu was the first group of people to enter Guangzhou, first with Pan Jinling, and then Pan Shiyu came to Guangzhou for him, so he went to follow the widow Wang. Perhaps since then, the two have been in love. After Li Shi served as the canonical history of Nanhai County, he didn't have the time to do this work at all, so he transferred Tao Fu to act as his deputy, and became the nameless canonical history of Nanhai County.
Hearing Li Shi's words, the two of them chuckled, and they both looked at the girls who were huddled in the corner, although they were different in size and had different looks, but the longing in their eyes was the same.
"It's been almost three years, and I can't imagine ......"
Li Xi sighed a lot, nearly three years ago, Widow Wang was still raising pigs, Tao Fu was still mining in the mine, and the change was really big. Looking at the couple, he felt a subtle, but incomparably real satisfaction, which was the happiness he had created with his own hands. In terms of his goal, it is only one in a billion, but for the two people in front of him, it is 100 percent.
At this time, he vaguely forgot the shame he had brought to another group of people, and the name of one of them had long been forgotten by him.
