After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

In the 28th year of Kangxi, after the opening of the first lunar month, there are several major events worth talking about here.

The first one is that after the imperial court came up with the strange trick of exchanging farm tools for land tax last year, although the people in Hubei and Hunan provinces still maintained a skeptical attitude, they all made up the land tax according to the rules.Combining the old and new fields together, the final amount of silver that was paid was actually a bit more than Jingshan's half-year expenditure.

The revenue and expenditure of the government were barely balanced, but it made the two chief and deputy ministers of the household department less worried.As for the quality of the agricultural tools produced by Jingshan, can they capture the hearts of the people in one fell swoop.We can only wait and see in Japan.

The second thing is that it is a great thing to reward meritorious deeds.

The elder brother Yinyi, because of his meritorious service in the military defense in recent years, was ordered by Kangxi himself to be the king of Zhijun.Not only was he crowned king, but he was also given a mansion outside the palace, allowing him to freely enter and leave the palace after marriage.

According to the rules, elder brothers cannot go out of the palace to build a mansion without getting married, but Kangxi prefers him a little more than other elder brothers, so the mansion outside the palace was built under the decree of special kindness. You can move out of the palace directly.

But judging from this title, all the officials know that the emperor still knows Elder Brother quite well.

Another awardee is Si Age Yinzhen.But this method of reward is slightly worse than Big Brother.

As usual, Yinzhen could have been directly named Baylor because of his contribution at the end of last year.But because his third elder brother has made no achievements in the imperial court so far, it will inevitably cause a lot of discussions among the officials if he just skips it, so Yinzhen's credit has to be suppressed first, and he will wait until he looks back and remembers that he can be in San'a The merits of the name of the elder brother are sealed together at the same time.

Although there was no promotion in status, Kangxi was not stingy with money, bounties and other playthings were sent to the courtyard of the fourth elder brother in the elder brother's office like water.Knowing that his son Shi loves jade and porcelain, he specially selected many treasures as gifts.

Fourth elder brother is a prince, gold and silver are just playthings in his eyes.So he was not only dissatisfied with the rewards that others felt envious of, but also felt a little wronged.

In terms of doing things, his reckless elder brother might not have done as much as him, but he was knighted before him, which is really depressing.

But after all, he is no longer a child, and he knows that being an obedient and grateful son is far more important to him than rewarding him.So although he was not particularly satisfied, he could only put on an attitude of thanking the Holy Grace for now.

In private, he has racked his brains about what his third brother can contribute.

Of these two major events, the big elder brother was naturally crowned king and attracted the most attention.

As one of Kangxi's most beloved sons, and also the first elder brother among his brothers to be awarded a title other than the prince, Yinfei was in the limelight in the entire court for a while.

When he was in the best of spring, he naturally wanted to find someone to show off.

Most of the other brothers have to study and have not entered the court to participate in politics, so they may not understand the weight of this title.Moreover, if he showed off too much, it seemed that he didn't know how to respect brothers and sisters, so Yin Yu didn't show it in front of his brothers.

It has to be said that if he can think of this, he can't live up to Mingzhu's overt and secret reminders and teachings for so many years.

Among all the brothers, only the crown prince is about the same age as the elder brother, and he will never fail to understand Kangxi's preference because of his mismatch in strength.So recently, Yinfeng's ears have been tortured by his elder brother a lot.

What saved Yinrong from this disaster was another major event that happened on the second day of February.

On February [-], the dragon raised its head, an unusually good day.

According to the rules of the royal family, the most honored person offers sun cakes to sacrifice to the heaven and the earth in the easternmost part of the palace, in order to pray for the sun and the moon to bless the Qing Dynasty and keep the heaven and earth as it is now.The empress dowager is still in the palace, so naturally she will lead a group of children and grandchildren to perform the sacrifice.

All the elder brothers have arrived, including the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers who have just learned to walk.But these two were still young, and their nuns took the place of their luggage when packing.

The rules are complicated, and the ceremony lasted for about an hour.Halfway through the routine, Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, after hearing a few whispers from the young apprentice, was no longer calm and composed just now. Report to the emperor.

Kangxi accompanied the Empress Dowager Fengxiang, so naturally he didn't take into account the reason of slaves.But Brother Nine, who was standing at the end, caught a glimpse of Eunuch Liang's expression from the corner of his eye, and knew that there must be another big event happening in the government.

He is just at the age of jumping out of life, so naturally he can't bear his curiosity.After hesitating for a while between "obey the rules and salute honestly" and "if you don't follow the rules and ask for news, you will be punished", the ninth elder brother Yinzhen cautiously poked his head and looked ahead

Seeing that Khan Ama and other brothers were concentrating on saluting, he boldly moved a few steps to approach Liang Jiugong and asked, "What's wrong with Wenda? Why is he so distracted?"

His words attracted the fourteenth elder brother who was standing beside him to look over.

The younger the child, the more favored he is. The fourteenth elder brother was pampered lawless because of his young age, he was used to being naughty, and he was so courageous that he was not even afraid of Kangxi.He tugged on Liang Jiugong's clothes, so that Liang Jiugong couldn't help lowering his upper body.

The fourteenth elder brother leaned forward and asked in a childish voice: "Ada, is it Khan Ama..."

Before finishing a sentence, he was interrupted by elder brother Jiu: "Old Fourteen, don't interrupt, just listen to Dinda."

The cold sweat on Liang Jiugong's head was frightened by these two little ancestors.Naturally, he didn't dare to go beyond the rules and say anything more, so he could only remind him with a flattering smile: "The sacrifice is not over yet, the two elder brothers need to concentrate, otherwise the emperor will punish him soon."

"Che..." Brother Jiu curled his lips, "If you don't say it, don't say it, what kind of skill is it to scare us with Khan Ama."

The voices of the two were not loud, but in such a serious atmosphere, the slightest movement was particularly eye-catching.

Kangxi was naturally displeased when he heard the discussion from behind.Turning his head slightly, he warned Brother Jiu not to move around with his eyes, but Brother Jiu shrank his neck in guilt.

Seeing the emperor turned his head back, Liang Jiugong dared to say softly: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened."

Although he tried his best to keep his voice down, the sound of ritual and music had long since dissipated, and this sound just hit Kangxi's ears.He narrowed his eyes and frowned.

The fact that Liang Jiugong has been serving the emperor for so long shows that he is a slave who knows how to advance and retreat.But now this servant, who has always been more stable than the prince, dares to speak directly at the ceremony, which shows that this matter is really extraordinary.

But now that the sacrificial ceremony was coming to an end, he could only nod his head to imply that Liang Jiugong knew what he had in mind, instead of ending the ceremony immediately.

Finally, after finishing all the ceremonies, Kangxi sent the Empress Dowager back to the bedroom as usual, saluted and sat with the Empress Dowager for a while, asked the aunt's daily diet if there was any discomfort, and did it after fulfilling the filial piety of a son of man Leaving the Compassion Palace.

After leaving the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he ordered the other brothers to go back to study, and verbally warned Brother Jiu in exchange for him to admit his mistake unwillingly. He asked, "Just now you were in a hurry to signal to me, what exactly is there to report?"

Liang Jiugong beat Qian'er and knelt down and said: "The slave made a mistake in a hurry, please forgive me long live. Back to the emperor, Xu Zhengyuan, the deputy general of the Fujian navy, said that he had something important to report, and he was asking to see him in front of the Qianqing palace. "

"Xu Zhengyuan..." Kangxi thought about his official position, and asked doubtfully, "Why is he in Beijing?" Officials sent abroad cannot easily return to Beijing without a decree.Even if it is a job report, you have to apply in advance and get permission.

Yinfeng followed closely behind him, Khan Ama. Hearing this, he quickly passed Xu Zhengyuan's resume in his heart.This person is Yao Qisheng's deputy general. Since the 23rd year of Kangxi, he has been guarding Fujian with Yao Qisheng and has never been to Beijing.

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he could probably guess what Xu Zhengyuan was supposed to be called to Beijing this time.He took half a step forward and said: "I think General Xu Shen's report is not small, otherwise Liang Wenda would not be so eager."

After selling a small favor from Liang Jiugong in exchange for a grateful favor from the other party, Yinfeng pretended to be unintentional and looked back, and said again: "Since he is serving in front of Yao Qisheng, Khan Ama can recruit him to ask Dongying How's the situation?"

Regardless of whether the news brought by Xu Zhengyuan is good or bad, it must not be long before Khan Ama will decide whether to fight Dongpu or not.

Yinfeng has already made up his mind, as long as he meets Xu Zhengyuan, he will find a way to persuade him Khan Ama to send troops to attack Dongying no matter what.Even if he is forced by the system to learn the language of Japanese pirates again, he will not hesitate.

With this reminder, Kangxi quickly remembered that he had sent Yao Qisheng and his men to Dongying, frowned and said: "But we have already found out what is going on in Dongying?"

"Yes" Liang Jiugong stuttered a little, "Xu Can general said..."

Seeing him faltering, Kangxi frowned even tighter, staring at him and said sharply: "What's the matter? Just say it directly, don't bother to talk about it. Could it be that Yao Qisheng asked those gangsters to arrest him?" gone?"

If this is the case, he will definitely send someone to destroy Dongying immediately in order to save the face of the Qing Dynasty.And he can't guarantee that he will be concerned about Yao Qisheng's head,

Yinfeng was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't want to give up.Yao Qisheng is almost past his seventies, how could he go there in person to find out the details of Dongying.

Liang Jiugong lowered his head lower, took a deep breath quietly, and then quickly reported back the news he had heard from his young apprentice: "General Xu Shen brought the military amulet of Marquis Jinghai and said that I am here Fan Buzun entered Beijing to petition the emperor for Marquis Jing Hai, now that the Ryukyu navy has captured Dongying, do you want to bring the captives back to Beijing?"

"What!" Kangxi and Yinfeng father and son said in shock.
