The world is majestic

Although the malaria had been cured, Yinzhen was still seriously ill. The imperial physician was afraid that something might go wrong, and urged him not to catch a cold.In the end, only some windows were opened for ventilation.Yinzhen couldn't bear to lie in the room all the time, and insisted on going out for a walk.Wang Fengliang had no choice but to put a Taishi chair in the courtyard, and set up a few screens around it, for fear that the wind would blow too hard.

Yinzhen squinted his eyes and leaned on the grand master's chair, and said slowly: "The days go by so fast, it's been nearly half a month since you came here. You were supposed to come out to relieve disasters, but instead you've worked so hard, it's really..."

Yinhu held the book and sat in the rose chair beside him. Hearing Yinzhen's speech, he felt a little depressed, and said in relief: "If it weren't for the fourth brother, you would do everything yourself when you came here, so how could you be indifferent to your body?" What if you contracted a disease due to exhaustion? Why should fourth brother feel sorry for himself for this."

Yinzhen frowned slightly, "You don't know, when I went to the Northeast to provide disaster relief, although the situation was miserable, at least the people of the Li people still had a shelter from the wind and rain, as long as the food arrived, the predicament could be solved. But this Once, there was a flood. Although there was no damage near the mansion, it was because of the high terrain in the west of the city. The homes of the people in the lower terrain were all destroyed, with no clothes and no food. More and more people were killed and injured. Food and food are very limited. If it were you, would you be able to sit in the mansion with the old god here?"

After hearing this, Yinhu sighed and said: "I heard that when I passed the post station on the way I came, first there was a flood, and then there was a plague. Yicheng can be regarded as 'the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles'. It's just good. Now that the plague has been brought under control and the dead are already dead, it is a blessing in misfortune that no more lives will be taken."

Yinzhen said kindly, and then thought of another thing, "When you told me that day, the prince seemed to know about my illness immediately. If he released someone by Huang Ama's side, why did he reveal it in front of you? Woolen cloth?"

Yinhu has been pondering over this matter for the past few days without any results, and said with a wry smile: "I can't figure it out, maybe the prince wants to use this as a hint that even if Suo'etu is lost, his authority has not changed."

Yinzhen sneered and said: "He is becoming more and more impatient, but he never pleaded for Suo'etu in front of the imperial court, but he did it smartly. No matter how hard you try, it is difficult for a person who is rejected by Huang Ama to turn over .”

After hearing this, Yinhu suddenly remembered the bitterness of Kangxi in the previous life, saying that he was "well aware of his unrighteousness and unfilial piety" and "the love between father and son is absolutely absolute".But in his last life, he couldn't see clearly, and tried to turn the tide everywhere, but in the end all efforts fell short.Thinking of this, Yinhu couldn't help feeling chills.

Although he was trying to seek the throne, his lofty and unfathomable Huang Ama, who often punished and suppressed him with Er Niang's background, was a big thorn in Yinhu's heart.

Is my humble background destined to be a lifetime of criticism?

As human beings in two generations, Yinhu has respect, admiration, awe, and fear for Kangxi, but Yinhu has no hope for the unattainable father-son relationship.Even the son who was deeply loved by Kangxi like the prince, in the end, he died with nothing but depression.The emperor's family, if you want to say that the most unreliable thing is the emperor's affection.

Seeing that his complexion was a little bad, Xu Zhen asked with concern: "What's the matter? Didn't you sleep well yesterday? You look so bad."

Only then did Yinhu come back to his senses, and smiled at Yinzhen: "Maybe it's a bit stuffy at night, and I woke up early today. Yicheng is really hot and dry. Only when I get here do I know the benefits of Beijing. Fourth Brother I am also afraid of heat, so staying here for so many days must be very difficult."

"Once there are too many things to do on weekdays, I don't care about the heat anymore." Seeing the scroll in Yinhu's hand, Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "What book did you take?"

Yinhu smiled and spread out the scroll in his hand and said, "It's Hong Mai's Essays on Rongzhai. I got up early and felt that I had nothing to do, so I took a random copy from the shelf to read. There are many annotations on it. This Wang Fengliang Although he is a magistrate, his views are really good, and he really came out of Lord Tong's residence."

"When I was in Yicheng, I heard the local people speak highly of Mr. Wang. You can see how his house looks like an official residence. Most of his salary and private savings were spent on embankment repairs, but it was just a drop in the bucket. .”

Yinhu was puzzled and said, "Why didn't he inform the imperial court about the embankment and dam building? The Ministry of Industry should send officials to the local government to supervise. Why did he, the magistrate, pay the money himself?"

When Yinzhen mentioned this, his face became ugly, and he snorted coldly and said, "Why didn't you transfer the money, but the money needs to be in the hands of the transfer department, the Ministry of Industry, the governor, the governor, the chief envoy, the inspector, etc. , when it actually landed in Yicheng, there were not a few left who were embezzled. Previously, Samuha, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was reprimanded by Huang Ama because of the unknown whereabouts of the money. It seems that there is nothing conclusive, and the second is that considering that he is getting old, he also made some contributions in the pacification of the San Francisco, so he just resigned from his position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and moved to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Yinhu couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, "This punishment is a bit lighter."

Yinzhen frowned and said seriously: "Emperor Ama misses the old love, and always can't bear to cut grass and roots. This man is only demoted to a lower level for being greedy for money, but the people of Yicheng have suffered, and now they need to spend several times more money." The money came to make up for it. But there is only so much money in the treasury of the Ministry of Accounts, if you want to fill up these shortfalls every day, where will you get the money?"

Although Yinzhen just passed the words "remembering the old love" in passing, Yinhu understood it in his heart.Kangxi I made countless achievements, but the older he was, the more he could not see through a word of "name".He was afraid of severely punishing his old ministers and being criticized by later generations, so he would rather turn a blind eye than order the eradication of corrupt officials.As a result, what Yinzhen later received was a tax shortage and an empty treasury.So this "peace and prosperity" reputation allowed Kangxi to go, but as soon as Yinzhen came to the throne, he was given a "mean" reputation for rectifying the administration of officials and clearing up debts.

Thinking of this, Yinhu couldn't help but feel funny. I have scolded him a lot for the word 'mean', and there are others who scold him worse than this...

"The money in this household department is short of money. There are two ways to go for the money. One is embezzlement, and the other is embezzlement. Although both of them violate the king's law, the crime of embezzlement is serious. Talking too much, it can be said that it is a business banquet, or disaster relief, and the officials are naturally capable of justifying their explanation." Yinhu explained to Yinzhen with a calm expression, "The deficit of this treasury is often due to corruption investigations. From now on, the officials are probably prepared to attribute the embezzled money to the misappropriation, so it will naturally be difficult to investigate."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yinzhen pondering thoughtfully. Yinhu thought to himself, this is the method Yinzhen used in the previous life just one month after he took the throne, first investigate embezzlement, and then investigate corruption.Although it was also vigorous and resolute, it was still a bit late at that time, and Ku Yin was already short of several 10 taels.If this policy can be implemented now, it will not be so difficult when Yinzhen ascends the throne in the future.

Sure enough, after a while Yinzhen clapped his hands and smiled and said: "Your words are on point. If you want to investigate corruption, you must first check the accounts embezzled by Kuyin, and you can't miss a single penny. Let them first The embezzled money will be brought back, and the rest will be investigated for corruption, but we will see where these corrupt officials are going to hide."

Yinhu nodded, but said again: "Although it is said in this way, most of the courtiers must feel that it is reasonable to embezzle treasury silver for official duties. If the fourth brother wants to ask the emperor Ma Jin said, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of obstacles."

Xu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Even so, should we just let those officials swallow it?"

Yinhu shook the scroll in his hand with a smile and said: "When I was flipping through this "Rongzhai Essays" this morning, I saw a scroll that was quite interesting."

Yinzhen knew that he would not mention this for no reason, so he asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It is said that when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, a white magpie built a nest in the shape of a waist drum on the locust tree in front of the palace. Now this auspicious auspiciousness just means that I have gained a good minister again. What is there to celebrate?" After finishing speaking, he asked people to destroy the bird's nest and let the white magpies fly. However, when Tang Minghuang felt that the world was extravagant, Ling Jin offered a car Luan clothing and gold and silver utensils were no longer produced for the imperial merchants in the palace, and the saved silver was provided to the army and the treasury. They also destroyed all the pearls and jade brocades in front of the palace, declaring that the world will no longer use such delicate and expensive brocades." Yinhu Youyou He told two stories, and asked with a smile: "What do you think of these two things, fourth brother?"

"Both of them ruled in a peaceful and prosperous age. They know people and do their jobs well, so they can be called the last generation of wise kings. There is no deviation in the two things. They destroy the nest to avoid flattery, and burn the brocade to show purity." Yinzhen's face There was a hint of disapproval, "It's just that the means are a little too much."

Yinhu nodded and said: "Hong Mai and the fourth brother have roughly the same views. These two emperors were the Ming emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and their words and deeds are enough to teach the world. It's just that these two things are handled so trivially, it's just because of their good names. "He paused for a while, and his tone softened a lot, "Fourth brother is determined to drive out the traitors, but if he plays rashly, the courtiers will definitely attack him and write a letter to Huang Ama. What's more, Huang Ama is also It’s very face-saving, if a lot of corruption is really found out, wouldn’t it be obvious that Huang Ama is not strict? You can’t rush this matter, fourth brother, remember, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.”

Yinzhen frowned and thought for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "After all, you are more thoughtful and considerate than me."

Yinhu thought in his heart, borrowing your strategy and re-dedicating it to you, you can even get a compliment. This kind of business is really a bargain.Nodding his head, he said with a smile, "Fourth brother is overrated."

Yinzhen has recuperated well in the past few days, and his body has almost recovered. He meets Yinhu face to face every day, but he hasn't been close to him since that night. It's just cheap.Seeing Yinhu thinking and planning for herself now, she couldn't help but feel a little itchy, she leaned forward and said with a low smile, "Since you didn't sleep well last night, why don't you go to another place now, I think you were at my place last time Had a good sleep."

Yinhu's face became hot when he heard the words, and just about to speak, he heard Lu Lianrong's voice coming from outside.Yinhu looked up and saw him trotting all the way over, and greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.Yinhu asked him why he was in such a hurry, and Lu Lianrong hurriedly handed over a letter in his hand.

Seeing the faint joy on his face when he read the letter, Xu Zhen couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? But what's the good thing?"

After reading it, Yinhu folded the letter. Although his face was composed, it was obvious that there was a bit of joy that could not be concealed. He smiled and said, "It's nothing serious." After a pause, he said, "Huining is happy. gone."

Yin Zhen felt his heart froze at first, then forced a smile and said: "It really is a good thing, congratulations."

Lu Lianrong couldn't stop expressing joy, and with a faint smile, Yinhu took a finger wrench from his hand to reward him.In his last life, he achieved Hongwang when he was nearly [-] years old, and in this life, Hui Ning has not seen anything for a long time.Now that the news finally came, although Yinhu would not be as excited as when she became a father for the first time, she was still happy in her heart.Although he and Hui Ning have more respect than love, Yinhu has no less expectation and value for blood than anyone else.

After Yinhu sent Lu Lianrong away, Yinzhen glanced at him lightly, and said, "Since my brother and sister are pregnant, I'm pretty much recovering from this illness. Let's go back to Beijing in a few days."

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's not too late to leave when the imperial doctor says there's nothing wrong with it."

"Haven't I counted myself? Listen to what the imperial physician is doing." Yinzhen interrupted Yinhu's words impatiently, waved his hand and said, "That's it, go back and discuss it with Master Tong, and go as soon as possible."

A thought suddenly popped up in Yinhu's mind, looked at Yinzhen's slightly frowning brows, and said hesitantly, "Fourth brother, are you annoyed?"

Yinzhen felt even more annoyed by his question, snorted coldly and said: "This is amazing, why should I be annoyed?"

Yinhu was so looked at by him that he felt a chill, and smiled dryly and said: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me, you can't be more clear." Yinzhen stood up with a sullen face, dragged Yinhu into the room, and closed the door behind his back.

"Just so happy?" Yinhu was hugged tightly by Yinzhen, and his vicious voice could be heard next to his ear, Yinhu couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Didn't fourth brother also be very happy when he first got Honghui? "

Yinzhen was blocked by his words, he was depressed for a moment but couldn't think of words to refute, and after a while he sighed and said: "You are right, you have a new heir, it is only natural that you are happy."

"Fourth brother..."

"It's okay. After all, this is something that should have been on my mind from the very beginning. I just feel a little uncomfortable." Yinzhen's voice was a little dull, and it came to Yinhu's ears in a low voice.

Yinhu was embraced by Yinzhen like this, the joy in his heart just now couldn't help being wiped away, he couldn't help sighing, and gently stretched out his hand to hug Yinzhen.
