Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

After a while, a group of servants, led by Gao Wuyong, knelt down respectfully to pay their respects. "The servants pay their respects to the eldest prince."

Honghui waved his hand slightly: "Stand up and answer! What's the situation in the mansion?"

"My dear eldest brother, everything is fine in the mansion. However, the news that Master has contracted a contagious disease has spread to the capital, and the mansion cannot help but feel worried and anxious. Now the wife and the concubine are leading people to pray for Master day and night, praying that he can recover soon."

Actually, the mansion was in chaos. Fu Jin listened to someone's advice and wanted to select someone to serve the master from outside the Great Wall. This went on for two or three days. But the masters in the backyard all had young children to take care of. How could they make time for someone?

Concubine Consort and Concubine Qi were tempted to go, but were stopped by Empress Defei. Later, the Empress Defei said, "The fourth child has recovered, and he has Honghui by his side, and there are a lot of servants. What do you want to do? Just stay calm and take good care of the children in the house, and don't cause trouble for him!"

As for the idle Fu Jin, she was all talk and no action. When she saw that the empress was angry and wanted to ask her to come to the frontier, she immediately retreated, wasting the master's special favor and preference for her in the early years!

Although Gao Wuyong was sent to Prince Yong's mansion by His Majesty, he was loyal to his master whom he had served for so many years, so he looked down upon Fu Jin's hypocrisy and fear of death.

But they shouldn’t talk too much about the secrets of the backyard in front of the eldest prince, otherwise if the master finds out, they will be in trouble!

"Big brother, don't worry. There is a concubine in the mansion, and the Empress Defei in the palace. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes have visited the mansion several times, and even the Ninth Prince has visited the mansion twice. The mansion is very safe."

Honghui naturally didn't know that such a tortuous and bizarre thing had happened in the mansion. He just nodded and continued to ask, "How is the situation in the capital?"

"There were many rumors and opinions, but most of them praised your filial piety! There were also some who said unpleasant things, and some who cursed the master with ulterior motives... His Majesty reprimanded a group of people and killed a few of them to serve as a warning to others. After that, few people dared to spread rumors without permission."

Thinking of the harsh rumors that he had been hearing for the past few days, Gao Wuyong felt so angry that his teeth were itching. But when he looked at the elder prince in front of him, who had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a gentle manner, most of the resentment in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Who in the capital doesn't know that the eldest prince is extremely filial, just like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty who personally tasted medicine? His Majesty even praised him in front of others, saying, "He is extremely filial to his parents, and should be a role model for the royal family and clan members!"

After the rumor, the next thing was the situation in the capital: "In the July Ministry of Revenue corruption case, His Majesty dismissed the main culprit Xifuna from his post and investigated him. The rest of the officials were either demoted or imprisoned. A total of more than 200,000 taels of silver were recovered..."

"Dismissal and investigation? Imprisonment?" How could this happen? Why did the Royal Law suddenly become tough?

"That's right. When I left the capital, I saw with my own eyes four or five officials from the Ministry of Revenue being thrown into prison. I also heard that several families with serious corruption were selling off their property to try their best to raise money!"

So, why? Honghui stared at Gao Wuyong's face in amazement, and the doubts in his heart could not be stopped!

Little did he know that Kangxi had become more confident and was simply venting his anger on others!

In early August, court officials impeached Cao Yin for embezzling money, targeting the current emperor for his greed for pleasure.

Once he was pointed at on the head and scolded, Kangxi was so angry that he transferred a large amount of silver from his private treasury to fill the bill for the southern tour to welcome him. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were gone, and he could no longer tolerate such corruption.

"How could a small Ministry of Revenue Deyintang dare to embezzle more than 200,000 taels of silver from the national treasury? How can I let it go easily?" These were his exact words!

However, this was also because he had the confidence in his heart. After all, he had so many achievements in his hands, and no matter how happy the court officials were, they could not resist the admiration of the common people for him.

Honghui had never heard of the "butterfly effect", but Gao Wuyong's words told him that another destiny had been changed and a better future was just around the corner.

Then, Gao Wuyong mentioned the prince's extravagance, debauchery, and forming cliques for personal gain, and finally brought a piece of news, "It is said that the Eighth Prince's newly married Li Gege has been pregnant for more than a month, and the Eighth Prince's mansion is almost in chaos. The Eighth Princess was furious and scratched two scratches on the Eighth Prince's face. The bloodstains are worthy of being a general's daughter!"

What? Aunt Eighth attacked Uncle Eighth? Honghui immediately became interested, "Uncle Eighth didn't fight back? Oh, he has always loved Aunt Eighth, how could he fight back? Did the Queen Mother ask about it? Did the Prince An's Mansion intervene?"

"Eighth Prince not only took action, but he even pleaded for the Eighth Lady in front of His Majesty, saying that it was a mistake and it was not intentional. It was no big deal for a man like him to get his face hurt. As for the Prince An's Mansion, someone did go to the palace to plead for mercy, but the Empress Dowager and His Majesty did not appreciate it and turned them away."

"Didn't the Emperor scold Aunt Eight?"

Gao Wuyong nodded and said, "I heard that the Eighth Prince knelt before the Emperor for two days before His Majesty relented and only punished him to copy the "Female Rules" and "Female Instructions" fifty times. Otherwise, according to His Majesty's original intention, the Eighth Lady's power as housekeeper would have been revoked!"

That's right! In today's world, if a wife beats or accidentally injures her husband, the husband will be beaten with a hundred sticks at the least, or divorced at the worst. Even if Aunt Eighth was born into a noble family, she could not resist the clear provisions of the Qing Dynasty law.

Eighth uncle got his face hurt, Eighth aunt got scolded, and the ambitious Hongli put the blame on Eighth uncle again. Is today a good day for happiness?

Honghui thought secretly: I must tell my father about this happy event later and let him be happy too!

Halfway through the conversation, a servant came in and replied, "Big brother, the luggage has been unloaded."

Perhaps because he was too worried, the mansion was filled with three or four carriages of luggage, including all kinds of clothes, medicinal herbs, and snacks, which made Honghui amazed.

There is too much luggage, and it will be a hassle to return to Beijing!

Afterwards, Su Peisheng took the initiative to take people to put the luggage away, and Honghui returned to the room with a stack of letters and handed them to Yinzhen who had been waiting for a long time.

Yinzhen first read the letters from Dai Duo and other aides, and then read those from Yinxiang and Yinzhen. Without Honghui's introduction, the situation in the capital was under his control.

After opening the letter written by Concubine De, the corners of his mouth drooped immediately and his face became quite gloomy, but he said nothing. He just stared at the handwriting on the letter in fascination.

Ha! This is the wife who is deeply in love with him. She is useless and only causes trouble! But that's not all. Now she doesn't even want to pretend and makes a fool of herself in front of her mother. Tsk!

What bothered him the most was that before he died, Rouze had expressed her intention to adopt the Fifth Prince in front of Geng. Fortunately, Geng was honest and rejected her proposal in person, otherwise, if a fuss was made, there would never be peace in the mansion.

Yinzhen regretted for the umpteenth time accepting Rouze into his mansion, and was also thankful for the umpteenth time that he was not completely deceived!
