every spring [comprehensive]

The Yellow River runs from Sanmenxia to the east, and the water is gentle. When it reaches Huining, because the terrain is flatter and the sediment is deposited, the river bed becomes more and more silted. Looking from a distance, it looks like an earth dragon that does not care about the sky, so it is called "Xuanhe River". ".

From the early years of Shunzhi to the 15th year of Kangxi, the imperial court made more and more strict and detailed regulations on the punishment of flood control projects being washed away: if the embankment is washed away, the responsibility shall be shared by both repairing and defending parties.The Yellow River broke through within half a year and the Canal within a year. Officials who were repaired and defended were all dismissed.Those who have passed the Yellow River for one year and the canal for one year will be demoted to three levels for transfer after the repair and defense, the sub-district officer will be demoted to two levels, and the general river will be demoted by one level to stay in office.If the warranty period has expired, all the officials in charge of the river will be dismissed and punished for the construction, and the branch priests will suspend their salaries to supervise the repairs, and the general river will be fined for one year.

However, it consumes tens of millions of manpower and millions of gold every year, and it still cannot be managed well. The Yellow River has been out of control for a long time, and its embankments burst almost every year.It can be said that no matter who touches the position of the river, it will be unlucky.

There was a lot of pressure on Jin Fu to take over this position, because Lianghehe's affairs were really difficult, and the governor of the river was changed one after another, all of them were ruined.But the few times he went to the palace to talk with the emperor, seeing the emperor's determination to control the river, he already understood that someone must stand up and take on the task of controlling the river at this time!

The emperor also reassured him, and gave him the right to play a special performance, and he could directly talk to the emperor whenever the project reached.There is no need to report layer by layer, which saves a lot of trouble.Moreover, Kangxi directly took charge of the river management. No one dared to withhold and shirk the various materials, manpower, material resources and the allocation of the Ministry of Households needed for the river work project, at least it would not be as difficult as the previous river governors.

With Chen Huang and other river control talents who are familiar with the water regime of the Yellow River and can make timely adjustments, now there is "cement", a strong material with extremely high adhesion and high strength.When experimenting with cement, Chen Huang and others were so excited that they could speak incoherently. Peng Xueren burst into tears and said: If this thing came out a few years earlier, maybe Huayuankou would not have become a vast ocean, and so many people would not have died. !

Jin Fu felt that he would never forget that scene in his life!These favorable factors also made him more confident, and he was full of hope for the future of the Great Qing Dynasty with Shuiyan and Heqing, and the prosperity of Kangxi was not far away.

The only princes who are old enough to go to school in the study room are the three elder brothers, and the princes, Baylor, Beizi, and ministers who are under the age of 16 choose to accompany the prince to study.

The elder brother, the prince, and the third elder brother have different masters since they were young, and their progress is different, so they all attend classes separately in different rooms with their masters and the attendants of the Imperial Academy.

The unified rest time is the same. Originally, the prince had a place to rest alone, but after being influenced by Jianning’s education, Prince Yinreng would not stay alone in his own special place every day to be isolated from other brothers, but I will have lunch with the big brother and the third brother, and chat for a while, secretly complaining about the strictness of the masters or some unreasonable things that must be memorized 120 times, etc. I have been studying for three years, so I can count Even the senior Yinti would enthusiastically give some suggestions and advice to the younger brothers on how to deal with the masters.

The world of children is different. They are all stumbling to understand the world. There are surprising things every day, and there are naturally more common topics.

In fact, Yinzhen is very happy with the current situation. After Yinfeng and the third child also enrolled, he is finally not alone.Although there were several companions before, it wasn't until the other two princes came that he was more sure that they were the same as him.

Yinti didn't get together with those accompanying readers who always served him carefully, but stayed with his two brothers after class.Only after getting in touch with him did he realize that the prince is completely different from the domineering person he imagined. Although he is sometimes arrogant, he is a very cute younger brother.

Yinti has been very strong since he was a child, and his bow and horse riding and shooting are no worse than adults, and he belongs to the type with well-developed limbs.Although the third child is not very talkative like his mother and concubine, he is the most thoughtful, and he is often the wisest of the three.This small group is united by Yinfeng, so he is naturally the leader.

On this day, the noon break time came, and the respective little eunuchs had already gone to retrieve the lunches of the little masters.As soon as Yinfeng's lunch box is opened, there is a strange fragrance of food.All the people who were eating in this dining place were not in the mood to eat their own meals, but stretched their necks to look at the prince, wondering what kind of good food the prince was eating?

Yinzhen and Yinzhi didn't just sit there and watch, they knew Yinreng very well, so they ordered the eunuchs to move the table over.Yinti asked bluntly: "Second brother, what do you eat for lunch? Why is it so delicious? Did your aunt cook for you?"

Yinfeng was already hungry after studying for a whole morning.Smelling the familiar aroma, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "This is made by my aunt, and the imperial chef can't make this taste. There are many dishes, let's eat together, big brother and third brother."

Yinzhi said with some envy: "Second brother, your life is so lucky that the imperial aunt will cook for you in person. I have never eaten something made by my empress herself."

Big brother, why not, said: "My mother-in-law can only speak and direct, and she doesn't even know what the kitchen is like, let alone make things with her own hands." He couldn't wait to pick up a crystal clear shrimp with chopsticks Put it in your mouth and chew, "Wow...it's so delicious! This Longjing shrimp dish is fresh and springy, and the shrimp is as fresh as it is alive... Yinfeng, you are so lucky!"

Seeing that he had already started eating, Yinzhi couldn't care less about being polite to Yinrong: "Brother, pay attention to how you eat! Save some for me!"

The prince also started his own lunch immediately, and after a while, all the good dishes prepared by his aunt would go to the temple of the eldest and third son.

When the other people heard the conversation over there and smelled the aroma floating in the air, they also felt hungry and buried their heads in their lunch.

Compared with the cooks in other mansions, the imperial chef is also very good, but compared with the things made by Princess Jianning, there is still a big gap.Because she always has a way to restore the most beautiful taste of the ingredients, and choose various combinations to stimulate more deliciousness.

As far as the smell in the air is concerned, you can only smell it but not eat it. All the companions feel that their lunch tastes like chewing gum.He doesn't have that much face, so he can go to the prince to share a share like the elder brother and the third elder brother.

After finishing lunch under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Yinfeng said, "Why don't you go back to Yuqing Palace with me after school? He will make dinner for us with his own hands."

"really?"

"That's great, I really want to eat it!" The two were obviously looking forward to it.

In the afternoon, Yinfeng didn't come back by himself, but also with two little tails. They often play together, Jianning is not surprised.

After greeting his aunt one after another, Yinreng expressed to Jianning that the two brothers would have dinner here, and euphemistically expressed how they ate their food at noon.

Jianning then understood that these children came here for food and wanted to eat what she made.Because I am a junior and I am too embarrassed to open my mouth, I let the prince talk in a roundabout way.

Jian Ning said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? Tell your aunt what dishes you like to eat. I will cook when I have free time. Yuqing Palace will always keep your favorite dishes."

Yinti and Yinzhi gave a small cheer. After collecting their taste preferences, Jianning said, "You go to review your homework first, and finish the homework left by the master. After everything is ready, I will let the maid come to call you. You are welcome to visit us often in the future.”

Knowing that there is something delicious to eat at night, even finishing homework has become a less annoying thing.Since then, several young elder brothers often went to Yuqing Palace to report.If you come to Yuqing Palace often, you will meet Kangxi.Kangxi is also very willing to see the scenes of their brothers being in harmony, and sometimes tells them how his father got along with their uncles Fuquan, Chang Ning, Jieshu and others when he was young, and how they are still brothers and friends respecting the emperor and his ministers. .

A few women with sons in the harem were a little worried when they saw this situation. After all, the palace is not like ordinary people outside, and they pay more attention to everything they do, not to mention how many pairs of eyes they have. Watch it!Later, I found out that this kind of worry was superfluous. In Yuqing Palace, it was no different than other palaces, and it did not involve jealousy in the harem.As an aunt, Jianning naturally treated them equally.And elder brother can still see the emperor from time to time.In this way, the ladies will not be restricted to them, and they can go as they please.In this way, the elder brothers have been playing since they were young, and they are also brothers, so the relationship is naturally better.

Before, Concubine Hui would whisper orders in elder brother's ear, telling him not to be sincere to the crown prince, but to be careful, and to always take the opportunity to get close to the emperor.The elder brother is in the second period of middle school when right and wrong are clearly distinguished. He often feels that his two-faced and three-handed approach is too bad, and he treats her positively, or directly refute her.Concubine Hui saw that he was completely poisoned by the prince, so she didn't dare to say too much in front of him, for fear that this upright and stupid son would slip up in front of the emperor one day and ruin her image.

Time is like water, the days passed by like a tick, and two years passed in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning of this day, Suo'etu made a petition: "Although the prince and his elder brothers are flesh and blood, there should be differences between monarchs and ministers as they grow older. I ask the emperor to increase the costumes of the prince to distinguish the prince from other princes. different."

After Suo'etu, several ministers posted comments one after another.

Although Mingzhu wanted to jump out to stop it, she didn't want to let the emperor see the clue at this time. The name of the prince had been determined long ago, and what Suo'etu said was correct. If he really jumped out to object, what would the emperor think!Didn't it reveal that he didn't want to respect the prince.The other ministers also thought the same, so Suo'etu would have no objection to this proposal at all, but no one would come forward to echo him except his own people.

Mingzhu already understood that Suo'etu must have calculated his scruples correctly, so he dared to raise it so blatantly in the early court.

Mingzhu could only hold her breath in secret, secretly hating Suo Laosan for how long it took to stop and come out to make trouble again!Moreover, the prince who kept his mouth shut was different from other princes, not only putting gold on his face, but also secretly attacking his pearl.

After listening to Suo'etu's request, Kangxi said: "This is not a big deal, let's talk about urgent matters first, and discuss this matter later."

Seeing Kangxi's moody attitude, Suo'etu didn't dare to persist anymore, so the topic turned to Jin Fude's achievements in river governance in the past two years.

Sure enough, Jin Fu was very capable of harnessing rivers, and even the dams he built were exceptionally strong.Two years have passed, and a large part of the first phase of the project of strengthening and narrowing the dams has been completed. The rebuilt parts rarely have breaches. Although other places are still threatened by the flooding of the Yellow River, this part alone has already made people feel uncomfortable. It can be seen that after all the construction is completed, the embankment will be unprecedentedly impenetrable.

The minister said: "The happiest thing is the people on both sides of the strait. They joined the call of the river workers one after another, hoping to complete the project one day sooner and save their hometown from flooding one day sooner. Lian Hedu often encountered The problem of insufficient workers has been solved, how can the efficiency of embankment repair not be high!"

So the Yellow River embankment looks different every day, which is a very exciting thing.

But Mingzhu said: "Where is the credit of Jin Fu? According to my opinion, it is all because the emperor has the ability to know people, and Jin Fu can show his strengths. The emperor even equipped him with talents who understand the strategy of controlling the river." Well, if Jin Fu doesn't make any more achievements, wouldn't it be too disappointing to the emperor? Moreover, the cement developed by the Ministry of Industry is also a great contribution! Now not only can it be used on the river embankment, but the emperor will know it as long as he leaves the palace gate. Now the roads in our capital are covered. It has been replaced with a cement pavement. No matter it is windy or rainy, there will be no more yellow sand all over the sky and muddy scene! The pavement that has just been washed by rain can’t be more clean, as if it was newly poured. What the people here love most is going for a walk on the street.”

Kangxi laughed and said: "The common people have this hobby. It seems that this thing is really a benefit to the people. The paving of cement roads on the streets of the capital is just a trial. If conditions permit, not only the streets and alleys of the capital are like this. All the official roads will be covered with concrete roads, so that the travel time of both horses and pedestrians will be greatly shortened, and the connection between various places will be strengthened.” The most important thing is that strategic materials can be transported reliably , Kangxi's military plan can be implemented.

Zhou Peigong is now in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and said: "Although cement needs to be ground into powder, it will take some time, but the required materials are sufficient. In our Qing Dynasty, it can be said to be inexhaustible and can be found everywhere. The ministers and others have already discussed. After the completion, the official road from the capital to Zhili will be paved immediately, and it is expected to be completed by the end of this year."

Kangxi said: "Okay! After the completion of the work, I will go to Zhili in person to experience the difference between the new road and the old road. Don't slack off!"

After the imperial court, Kangxi and Jianning talked about Suo'etu's performance, "Actually, I thought I could approve his performance, but then I forgot about the road construction."

Jianning fell into deep thought and didn't answer for a long time. Kangxi asked, "What's wrong? Do you think there's anything wrong?"

Jian Ning said: "I think the prince is still young, so we can discuss these matters later, or it's not too late to make distinctions when he can go to the court to serve as an servant. Now he is just studying with the princes. If the emperor gives The crown prince changed the uniform system, and at the same time, he had to issue a decree that the identity of the crown prince should be different. In this way, is it necessary for the brothers to pay respects every time they meet in class? This is not conducive to harmony and unity. They should concentrate on their studies, if they are distracted by these things, will it affect their studies?"

Kangxi said: "I didn't think about this level. It seems that Suo'etu didn't think about it. Even if others thought about it, they didn't dare to speak so bluntly. No wonder no one agreed or opposed after he made the request today. You You are right, the most important thing for the crown prince and elder brothers now is their studies, and they can only go to the court to help me when they are adults."

Kangxi will only have more and more sons. A few of them are old enough to enter the study, and they can already see that they have their own strengths. Kangxi is very happy about this, and he has already planned to put them in various ministries in the future. , let them each show their strengths.

Jian Ning said: "Actually, there is something that I think is necessary to remind the emperor brother. Our ancestors ruled that all elder brothers would participate in and discuss politics. In the early years, there was even a precedent for each elder brother and the leader to govern together. Throughout the twenty-first history, after the crown prince took charge of the government, other princes must not interfere in politics. If the prince and the princes all go to manage the government, it will cause great inconvenience."

Naturally, Kangxi had also read various history books, understood what he meant, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Do you know what you're talking about? I know you don't have selfish intentions, but it's already very inappropriate to say such words. "

Jian Ning lowered his head and said, "I know these words are quite out of date, and it's just a reminder, maybe it's my villainous heart, but I don't want to see you spend so much effort to manage like Such a country will fall apart in the hands of its own people."

Kangxi suddenly said with a serious face: "Is it true that I dote on you too much on weekdays, and you don't know how to speak properly! You think that my princes will kill each other for the throne? They are still a group of children, you have this thought?"

Jianning was noncommittal, he reacted so strongly, she didn't know what to say, so she just kept silent.This attitude naturally made Kangxi even more angry.

Jianning got up in a timely manner and said: "Since the emperor has ordered Urgon to come to Beijing to get married, there are still many things in my palace that need to be sorted out. I'm afraid I won't be able to come over to help sort out the papers in the future. Please choose another talented person. I will take my leave first." .”

The Princess Mansion has been built, and this marriage has been decided for four years and has been delayed for four years. The Empress Dowager noticed that Kangxi was deliberately procrastinating. In addition, the King of Horqin sent letters from time to time to inquire, and the Empress Dowager had to After putting pressure on Kangxi, the Princess Mansion was completed.

Now that the imperial decree to the Horqin tribe has been issued, Urgon will come to Beijing soon to follow the decree.So Jianning was moving again, and this time it was permanent.She has lived in this imperial palace for 20 years. At the beginning, she still felt that she was enclosed in a huge cage. After living for a long time, she fell in love with each other. Every brick and tile felt extremely simple and lovely. Now To move away, on the contrary, I feel a little bit reluctant.But outside the palace is a new world.

Kangxi stared at her heavily, and said after a while, "Go down."

In the next few days, Kangxi's confidant ministers were surprised to find that when the emperor was handling government affairs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he would not be in a good mood for a second. Too busy to be dizzy and have to re-draft those outsourced job openings.

When he was in the early court, Kangxi would restrain himself a bit, but when he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was completely rebuffed and became a fire-breathing fiery dragon.

Suo'etu had to come because he had political affairs to answer, but he didn't dare to go in directly. Instead, he stood under Danxi outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and waited for a while. Soon he saw Mingzhu come out with a disheveled face, obviously also suffered He was not in the mood to laugh at Mingzhu at this time, but rushed over and asked in a low voice, "Mingzhu, what's going on inside?"

Mingzhu just gave him a pitiful look, and planned to take big strides forward.

Suo'etu hurriedly stopped him, "Mingzhu! Brother Mingzhu, tell me the truth, what happened to the emperor? Who is it, and what made the emperor angry, isn't it you?"

Mingzhu felt completely wronged, he pointed at himself in disbelief, and lowered his voice: "Suo Xiang, you are flattering me too much, if I do something wrong and offend the emperor, my master will explode on the spot How could I be secretly angry for so many days!"

Suo'etu thought for a while, and said, "That's right. Who is that? Could it be Zhou Peigong? He said he was sick these days and did not go to court. Is it just to avoid the emperor's thunderous wrath?"

Mingzhu said impatiently: "You ask me, who should I ask? The third princess is going to get married in a few days, and she can no longer arrange memorials for the emperor, and Zhou Peigong asked for leave and refused to come. These things have become the responsibility of me and Xiong Cilu again." I'm already so busy with errands, but now I have to set rules in front of the emperor, my calves are going to cramp these days!"

Just as Suo'etu was about to speak, Kangxi shouted loudly inside: "Who is outside? Don't mutter there, come in for me!"

Suo'etu's face turned ashen immediately, Mingzhu gloated and wiped his neck, now it's Suo'etu's bad luck!Mingzhu dared to use her Dingdai Hualing as a guarantee, no matter how good or bad Suo'etu's errand was, even if he thought he was impeccable, the emperor would definitely pick out the mistakes and reprimand him, and he would definitely scold him I can't lift my head up, I just keep pleading guilty.

This was the case with the eighteen ministers before, all of them are living examples!
