By the time Kangxi was free, it was already dark.

Liang Jiugong waited on the meal until Kangxi had almost eaten, so he raised his mouth.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei Le came here today and said that he had something to ask for an audience. At that time, Your Majesty, you were negotiating with several ministers. If there was no time, the servant persuaded him to go back. Look, do you want to see Liu Bei Le?" ?”

Kangxi slowly chewed the food that was not particularly delicate in his mouth. After swallowing it, he took a sip of tea and smoothed it out, and then asked: "Xiao Liu? He is a well-measured child, and he doesn't know that I am busy. Still want to see me, is he going out today?"

"Yes, the slave asked afterward. Liu Beile went out with Fourteenth Brother once, and even used money to go to the grain store to buy food for the victims. I want to see you as soon as I come back."

"This kid is kind-hearted. Most likely he felt pity when he saw those victims in such a miserable situation. Go and call him over. I'll listen to what he wants to say."

"Whoo."

When Yinzuo arrived, he happened to see his own emperor Ama checking the topographic map of this area under the light, and his brows never loosened. He became dark and thin. It seems that the days when he left were inevitable. The wind and the sun, fatigue running around.

"My son pays respects to Huang Ama."

Kangxi didn't raise his head, and said directly: "Xiao Liu, come here."

Yin Zuo stepped forward with doubts, and followed Huang Ama's finger to check the trend of the lower reaches of the Huanghuai River.

"In these years, every rainy season, floods are prone to break out, causing floods, people are displaced, and starvation is everywhere. Often local officials will choose to conceal their political achievements. The court has no idea what happened."

"But those people are also human beings, do they really have the heart to watch them die like this?" Yin Zuo was very angry.

Kangxi looked up at him, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "For their own selfish desires, there is nothing they can't do. That's why I chose to go to Jiangnan several times and patrol along the way. A few days ago, I deliberately Separated from you, acting alone, just want to know everything that is true."

"Huang Ama is a benevolent king. It is a blessing for the people to have a king like you." Yin Zuo put a high hat on Huang Ama first.

Kangxi saw through his petty thinking, but did not expose it. Instead, he continued to ask him: "Xiao Liu, do you know? I am afraid that they will conceal the report, and I am also afraid that they will report the truth. The imperial court allocates so much money every year. But the situation has not improved every year, do you know why?"

Yin Zuo shook his head obediently, and said, "Son, I don't know."

"Because the money will be exploited by officials at all levels, and the rest will flow into the hands of rich businessmen. They don't build dams and waste their lives. It's because it's profitable, so I'm afraid, afraid. The common people have gradually lost their trust in the imperial court, and our Qing Dynasty will begin to be unstable."

"Huang Ama, is there anything my son can help you with?"

Kangxi smiled, and didn't answer his words, but asked something else.

"I heard that you went out with Old Fourteen during the day, and you were anxious to see me when you came back. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Huang Ama, the grain outside is now full of warehouses, but the people lying on the roadside can only eat tree bark, eat grass roots, and dig wild vegetables. Adults can still survive, but those children and old people..." Yin Zuo couldn't I have the heart to go on.

He tried his best to restrain his emotions, knelt on the ground and continued.

"Huang Ama, the price of grain outside is really too high. Those merchants are all rich, but at this juncture, they wantonly raised the price of grain, forcing those people to sell their fields, houses, and even their wives and children. I can’t stand it anymore, Huang Ama, can you save those innocent people who are suffering?”

Kangxi stepped forward to help him up, and habitually patted the stain on his knee.

"Those disaster victims are my people, so aren't those rich businessmen? I can't send troops to grab food from people's homes, or threaten them with words? Don't you think so?"

Yin Zuo opened his mouth and had nothing to say, so he nodded in agreement with Huang Ama's statement.

"You didn't like to participate in government affairs before. I thought you were still young, so I never persecuted you, but you are my son. I hope you can help me and do something for this country and these people."

"Please Huang Ama just give orders, and my son is willing to take orders." Yinzuo knelt down again, raised his head, and looked directly into Huang Ama's eyes, with a very sincere attitude.

"Okay! I allocated [-] shi of the grain collected from the provinces in the southeast and distributed it to Gaoyou, Baoying, Xinghua and other seven states and counties that were more severely affected by the disaster. Each county has [-] shi, and you are responsible for monitoring and ensuring that all the food is distributed to the people, and let the ninth, tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth go with you."

These little ones are usually playful, have never seen the hardships of people's lives, and are used to living a life of wealth and wealth. They should exercise. They have always listened to Xiao Liu's words, and this trip can also gain insight. Little busy.

"My son obeys the order!"

On the second day, Yinzuo took his four younger brothers and set off on a business trip. The queen reluctantly bid farewell, while Yinzuo's older brothers stood behind.

Zhijun Wang Yinti smiled and said: "Look, it's different to have a good mother. Our brothers can't get such a fat job, don't you think, old man?"

Babeile Yinhu smiled and didn't answer.

Everyone knows that the person in charge of the food security is Sang E, the governor of the water transportation. Not to mention that he will not encounter any danger, and it can even be said that it is the credit of Huang Ama who sent it to the sixth brother.

On the contrary, it was the third child who helped to say: "They are still young, and the heavy burden of repairing the river embankment is naturally not their turn. The elder brother can do more work."

The former governor of the river, Dong Anguo, and his subordinate Feng You were accused of crimes. Kangxi ordered them to divert the flood into the river at Yunkou and other places and build a dam to make amends. The elder brother was sent to supervise the matter. Naturally, it was a condition at the scene. Difficult, not a good job.

For more than a month, the Jiangnan officialdom was shaken and the situation changed drastically. It was not until the end of the month that everyone gathered again in Hangzhou. Kangxi led the princes to inspect the garrison. Naturally, the princes wanted to show their skills.

"Sixth brother, everyone has also been exposed to the scorching sun for more than a month. Why are you still so white? You are already good-looking. Standing with you, you are the only one who is handsome and handsome."

Lao Jiu always paid attention to his Chuntao noodles, which only inherited five points from Concubine Yi. After it got dark, his appearance suddenly dropped.

"This is in the army. Everyone is a man. Isn't it more masculine to be darker?" Yin Zuo was a little envious of others.

The old fourteen suddenly came over and said to Yinzuo: "Sixth brother, ignore him, he is just idle, and he is not as good-looking as you when he is white, so ignore him, and I will show you later. My riding and archery skills are amazing!"

Looking at Shisi, who looked like a proud little peacock with his tail up, Yinzuo smiled and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll wait to appreciate your heroic appearance, Fourteen."

At this time, Yinti, the boss riding a horse, walked past them arrogantly, and Yinzuo subconsciously protected the two of them and took two steps back.

The 14-year-old was young and energetic, and wanted to rush over to him to argue with him on the spot.

"Fourteenth brother! Calm down, don't lose the face of the royal family on this occasion." Yin Zuo grabbed the easily angry and desperate younger brother.

Even though he said so, Yinzuo was still in a bit of a low mood. He still remembered that when he was young, he and his elder brother had a very happy time. They went to the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to peek at the lanterns and planted them Now that the flowers and plants have grown up, they have become even more unfamiliar, even facing each other coldly.

Yinzuo didn't like this feeling very much, but he couldn't change the estrangement between brothers, so he began to think of escaping.

When riding and shooting, the eldest Yinti naturally showed off, and the eighth Yinti also performed very well, but at the dinner party, the officials showed their favor to Yinzuo the most, and the other brothers were unhappy and hid far away he.

Many wives also surrounded the queen, inquiring about Liu Baylor's marriage wishes.

The other elder brothers who are older than Yinzuo have basically married Fujin, and the remaining elder brothers are either too young or not as noble as him, so naturally they are not as popular as him.

Yinzuo was met by chance for several days, and it was useless to hide, and gradually realized in his heart, I am afraid that this is also the acquiescence of the emperor's mother, otherwise how could these people get close to him.

One night, he simply left a letter and slipped away with a smooth wind.

As soon as the queen heard the news, she went to Kangxi.

"Your Majesty! Xiao Liu ran away!"

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and asked repeatedly: "Run away?"

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "I guess it was you who ran around."

"Your Majesty, what time is it? You still say this. The concubine is worried about Xiaoliu's safety. He has never left Beijing since he grew up, and he only brings Shunfengshui with him. What if he meets a gangster?" ?”

"It's not that his two personal eunuchs don't know how to fight, besides, he always carries silver with him, can he still be hungry?"

Kangxi wasn't very worried. He learned from Sang'e's report that when Xiaoliu was monitoring the traffic, he often traveled in low clothes. He never had any trouble during the period. He knew how to hide his identity and protect himself. .

"But he has always been well-clothed and well-fed. This time, he is bound to suffer. How can I rest assured." The queen began to cry secretly as she spoke.

Kangxi stepped forward to embrace her, and patiently comforted her: "Okay, okay, I'll send someone to secretly follow behind him to protect him, that's all right."

"Why can't the emperor bring him back directly?" The queen was puzzled.

"Let him go out for a walk, just to relax, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't force him all the time, look, this time he was in a hurry, didn't he sneak away in the middle of the night?"

Kangxi knew that this child had a sensitive mind, and he might not be comfortable during this period of time, and it was time to beat others.

After the queen left, the other elder brothers were called to the imperial court.

"Xiao Liu left in the middle of the night yesterday. You brothers, someone broke his heart. I won't say who it is. You are all grown up now, and you each have your own thoughts. I don't think there is any difference." Nothing is wrong, and I don't think it's your fault.

But today I have something to tell you, Xiao Liu will not become your opponent, never will, so you should stop embarrassing him, that's all I have to say, you all go down. "
