Chapter 405: Critical crackdown

Kangxi pondered for a while but still couldn't figure out that there were many nobles in the royal family who supported Lao Si. Why did Lao Si seem to have a grudge against the clan members and fight against the clan members to death? This is completely different from his previous attitude of winning over the clan members. He really couldn't figure out his ideas. If he tried to let me be a villain, he would disappoint him.

After glanced at Yinzhen, who was alive, Kangxi ordered Li Dequan to say: "Call all the ministers in the study to meet."

After Li Dequan went out, Kangxi said: "The expedition to Europe and America is imminent. Can specific candidates be drawn up for this matter of joining the army to fight?"

Yinzhen had long considered this issue and said immediately: "Returning to the emperor, the Expeditionary Force will inevitably have to negotiate with the royal families of European countries in Europe. It is not only to form an envoy, but the leader must not be too low, at least he must be above the prince, so as not to be rude.

After sifting and selecting, I felt that the fourth brother was the most suitable candidate. The fourth brother was cautious and meticulous in his work, both skilled in scheming and tolerant, and was also familiar with the scheming of love and exploring. Whether he was the leader of the envoy or stationed in Europe in the future, he was the best candidate."

Kangxi heard the slightest head of his head. The fourteenth brother was worried about the fourth brother. He took this opportunity to condemn him to Europe, which is 40,000 miles away. Although the methods were a little bit too hard, they were always several times better than those who had to fight each other. Moreover, the fourteenth brother's personality and methods were particularly suitable for going to Europe. With him in Europe, the situation in Europe would probably be even more chaotic. If we simply aim to achieve the goal of the expedition, the fourteenth brother is indeed the best candidate.

Thinking of this, Kangxi said: "Yes, the fourth brother is indeed a more suitable candidate. However, once he went to Europe, he would have no suitable candidates for the implementation of "spending acres to earn acres".

"Emperor, the matter is urgent and slow. Compared to the expedition to Europe, the implementation of "spreading acres into acres" is much inferior." Yinzhen said calmly: "You can sort out the experience of promoting "spreading acres into acres", so that the two can be avoided. In addition, my son-in-law thinks that the implementation of "spreading acres into acres" should be accelerated appropriately. Once the overseas ban is launched, it is necessary to be the people."

"Yeah, that's right." Kangxi then asked: "Can anyone choose the commander who went to Europe?"

"Returning to Emperor Ama, it is really difficult to choose a general." Yinzhen bowed and said, "Shi Shipiao is the most suitable one, but after the navy went out, before the new warships and navy grew up, the Fujian Navy became particularly important. In addition, Shipiao was very familiar with the situation in the South Ocean, including routes to vassal states such as Annan, Myanmar, Nanzhang, and Siam. My sons really couldn't bear to let him go to Europe for a few years.

Longkodo was not familiar with the navy, nor with the navy's artillery guns. He led the navy to expedition to Europe, which was really barely possible. Thirteenth brother was a good candidate, but he was in poor health and was too dangerous to expedition to Europe. Other candidates were not familiar with the children."

Kangxi sighed lightly and said, "It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. You should pay more attention to the general of the navy and promote it vigorously. I will consider this matter again."

In the study room, several ministers in the study room read the memorials, wrote briefs on their seats, checked the memorials from all over the country, and saw if there was any military situation, emergency or important matters that needed to be reported to Kangxi.

After the eunuch who was delivering the order came in, he stood at the door and said in a sharp voice: "The emperor has ordered all the ministers in the study to meet him."

He heard that all the ministers in the study room were summoned to meet each other. The six ministers in the study room, including Xiao Yongzao, Ma Qi, Zhang Penghu, Songzhu, Wang Yu, Fu Ning'an, etc., were slightly stunned. Then they hurriedly packed up and rushed to the Ganqing Palace. They all knew what Kangxi would ask, and they silently thought about how to report the matter along the way.

After a group of six people entered the East Warehouse to pay tribute, Kangxi gave him a seat as usual. The six people stood up and found that the Jindun where Yinzhen sat was different from their little slap, and they were slightly higher. Everyone was surprised and suddenly realized that No wonder the Fourteenth Master came so early. It turned out that Kangxi used this method to allow the Fourteenth Master to accumulate experience in handling court affairs.

Zhang Pengfeng was very happy. It seemed that Kangxi had indeed trained the Fourteenth Master as the crown prince. Xiao Yongzao and Ma Qi secretly considered whether they should completely turn to the Fourteenth Master. Songzhu, Wang Yu and Fu Ning'an couldn't help but feel a little slandered, but they were a little cautious in their hearts.

After everyone sat down, Kangxi said: "I visited the capital in a private place yesterday. What I saw and heard was not only shocking, but also incredible. Under my eyes, there were rogues in the capital who divided the land and collected miscellaneous taxes, and they also called taxes and taxes. This is a strange story in the world. The short musket, which was the strictest control of the court, also appeared grandly in the hands of rogues in the streets. As ministers of the Shangshu, what do you think of this?"

When he heard Kangxi's words, the six ministers in the study immediately slid down to the ground as soon as their butts were touched on the chair. They knelt down one after another. Ma Qi took the lead and said, "The capital was so lawless, and the disabled businessmen were harming the people. The slaves and others came to the study and were unable to escape the blame. I also prayed for the emperor to punish them heavily."

Wang Fei also followed, "This horrifying thing happened in the capital, but the misunderstanding of the people is actually a misunderstanding. If the capital is like this, what should we do about the place? I am in a high position, but my body is in a simple position. I cannot see the small and cannot be clearly observed. This hurts the court's dignity and the emperor's kindness as heaven. It is actually a shameless face. I beg the emperor to punish the emperor severely to correct the court's discipline and to correct the decadent style."

Song Zhu was about to open his mouth, but Kangxi said coldly: "It's enough, all the salary is fined for one year. What I want is not you who plead guilty. How to deal with it?"

When he heard that he had only been fined for one year, Ma Qi and others were relieved, but Fu Ning'an felt unfair. He just entered the study yesterday. This morning, he didn't even have to say anything, so he was fined for one year. It was a bit unlucky.

The six people dare not speak nonsense about how to deal with this case. Who doesn’t know that the family members of the royal family are supported by these rogues? This will offend all the royal family and noble ministers. Do you still want to live your life in the future?

Seeing a few people pondering and silent, Kangxi asked in a deep voice: "Are you going to get involved in this?"

"I dare not wait." Ma Qi hurriedly kowtowed.

Zhang Penghong also said, "I have received the grace of the holy people and have strict restrictions on my family and family members. I have followed the rules when I go in and out. How dare I do such illegal things?"

"Hmph." Kangxi smiled: "Since it has nothing to do with you, why can none of the six ministers in the study room tell us a proper way to deal with it?"

Seeing that Kangxi was about to be angry with the thunder, Ma Qi glanced at the other people and saw that no one wanted to speak, so he had to say, "Report to the emperor, the bad influence of this case is rare, and it will definitely be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to quell the public's anger and not be enough to restore the reputation of the court. However, this case involves too much. Once severely punished, it will hurt the emperor's kindness as heaven, and it will also violate the emperor's purpose of lenient governance. It is difficult to weigh the pros and cons of slaves for a while. I still beg the emperor to forgive me."

Yinzhen laughed secretly. Ma Qi was worthy of being an old man. He said a lot of words with a stern and just saying it was pure nonsense. It was equivalent to not saying anything. He naturally knew what these ministers in the study were afraid of. It was not easy for them to withstand the children of the royal family and nobles who involved such a wide range of royal family members.

When Kangxi heard this, he said coldly: "If you are willing to indulge the children of the royal family to harm the people, are you not afraid of hurting me? I am asking local officials to govern with lenient affairs. It is better to do less than more. That is because I am worried that local officials will make trouble for nothing, and waste people and damage their wealth. It is not to harm the country and the people, and to suck the marrow of the people. It is also to govern with lenient affairs! It is not to govern with lenient affairs at all times and in all aspects!"

Seeing that Kangxi was inclined to be angry, the six ministers in the study immediately bowed their heads and bowed their heads, bowing their bodies low. Yinzhen swept away several ministers in the study like ostrich, and looked at Kangxi with a cold look on his face. He didn't dare to be at ease. He hurriedly got up and left his seat, and knelt down and said, "The emperor's body is a 100-month body, and should not be angry because of this. The son minister is not talented. He is willing to work with his brothers, ninth brothers and tenth brothers to thoroughly investigate the case, rectify the public security of the capital, share the worries of the emperor's and eliminate the worms that harm the people of the capital."

When he saw Yinzhen taking the initiative to invite cherry blossoms, the six ministers in the study couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then they were extremely surprised. Isn't the Fourteenth Master afraid of being on the verge of enemies? Isn't he afraid of losing all the hearts?

Kangxi was also stunned when he heard this. The Fourteenth Old actually took the initiative to take over this hot potato and brought the three Lao Bas and the other two out together. It seemed that they were not fake. Did he think wrong? The Fourteenth Old has no other purpose, just simply trying to rectify the security of the capital? Could he not see the danger behind this?

Then he thought that Lao Si's insistence on being strict and strict, and even he could not accept it, Kangxi couldn't help but he hesitate. This matter could not be allowed to be the character of Lao Si. If he was so rude and ruthless as he was, he would be demoted from the royal family and exiled to Australia. In a few days, the capital would complain, and the royal family and noble ministers would come to sue the imperial court.

Seeing Kangxi pondering, Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Emperor, the bad influence and great harm of this case are beyond words. Only severe punishment can restore the reputation of the royal family and the court.

Yesterday, many well-informed clans came to the house of my son to inquire about the news. My son once said that the greed of a gentleman was killed for five generations. The fundamental reason was that his descendants were unworthy in his later years. The country had been in power for more than 70 years. Now it is the time when the wealthy families of various families have gone through three generations and four generations. If these incompetent descendants are allowed to act recklessly, and within two generations, the building will collapse.

However, the Qing Dynasty is now in a period of vigorous development. It is a golden period for the vast number of royal family members to make achievements and achieve future fame and title. It is also a great opportunity for the noble families of various aristocratic families to set their foundations for a century. If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your decline is right in front of you.

The son minister strongly advocated the rectification of the public security in the capital and severely punished the brave and arbitrary children of the royal family. It was for personal gain. In fact, the children of the royal family had reached the point where they had to be rectified. Otherwise, after decades of peace and prosperity, the children of the royal family had no other skills except to snatch dogs and play with birds, fight insects and gamble, let alone ride a fierce horse?

At that time, once there is a turmoil, the court can still rely on these children who play with dogs and birds, fight insects and gamble all day long to serve the country? My son begs the Emperor Ama to make a plan for the Qing Dynasty and vigorously rectify the children of the royal family."

All the ministers in the study were ashamed. They only thought that regulating the children of the royal family would offend people. Why didn't they expect that there would be great benefits? After the Fourteenth Master said this, this turned out to be a good thing. Recting these incompetent children of the royal family became a measure to revitalize the prosperity of the family? The Fourteenth Master's perspective on the problem is indeed very different from that of ordinary people.

Kangxi was also stunned when he heard this. Although Lao Sisi said it was quite far-fetched, it was indeed reasonable. In this way, not all royal family members would strongly oppose it, and the matter would be much easier to handle. However, Lao Si's punishment was still too strict. Even if he was talking about it, those royal families would probably jump up and oppose it once they knew his punishment plan.

However, there is no rush to punish. We will first rectify it. It is not too late to discuss the specific punishment plan in the future. After glanced at the several ministers in the study who bowed their heads and bowed their heads, Kangxi asked, "What are your opinions?"

Seeing Yinzhen's statement, Zhang Pengheng was not hesitant, and immediately said: "The Fourteenth Master has unique vision and far-reaching thoughts. He rectified the public security of the capital and severely punished the children of the royal family who harmed the people and violated the law and discipline. It is beneficial to the country and the people and the royal family and nobles. He has won several goals in one fell swoop, and the ministers attached it."

Xiao Yongzao and Ma Qi were not willing to fall behind in his statement, and they all agreed to the discussion. Songzhu, Wang Xuan and Fu Ning'an were all unrelated to their own affairs. Since Kangxi agreed, they naturally would not sing the opposite tune and followed suit.

Kangxi nodded slightly before saying, "I asked the emperor's fourteenth son Yinzhen, the emperor's eighth son Yinsi, the emperor's ninth son Yinzhen, and the emperor's tenth son Yinwei to rectify the public security of the capital, thoroughly investigate the case of private tax collection and miscellaneous taxes, and the case of short muskets outflow. The infantry commander's yamen, the five city military commanders, and Shuntian Mansion cooperate fully to investigate as soon as possible."

When he saw that Kangxi finally agreed, Yinzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly kowtowed, "My son is honored."

Seeing that this huge case was finally implemented, the ministers in the study couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only the Fourteenth Master was the most ideal for handling this case. Most people could not take it down. If they were asked to take charge of the case, they really didn't know how to die.

After the matter was settled, Kangxi's expression also eased a lot. He glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone is kneeling down."

As soon as he left the palace, Yinzhen ordered his personal guards to quickly summon relevant people to the infantry commander's office to gather. He then moved to Chongwen Gate.

Although he didn't need to go to the court early, Longkodo was abnormal. He rushed to the yamen early to do business. After arranging all the matters, he stayed in the study and sipped tea and breakfast. However, he was not sure about it. If Kangxi blamed him, he would be the last one.

Upon hearing that the Fourteenth Master had arrived, Longkodo quickly came out. As soon as he left the courtyard and saw Yinzhen, he rushed a few steps and beat Qian'er neatly and said, "Secretary Longkodo pays homage to the Fourteenth Master."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "You came early today."

"If you have something to do, how can you sleep?" Longkodo smiled embarrassedly. Seeing Yinzhen's neat court coat and court beads hanging, he knew that he had just come out of the palace, so he quickly bowed and smiled, "The Fourteenth Master hasn't used breakfast yet, please invite me inside. I'll make a pot of tea immediately and go and make some breakfast."

After he said this, Yinzhen felt a little hungry, so he stepped into the signing room. After sitting down, he said: "Tell them to be quicker. The emperor has issued an order to me and my brother and others to investigate the case thoroughly, and the infantry commander's yamen, the five cities military commander, and Shuntian Mansion fully cooperated. I have already traveled to communicate with others with my personal guards."

When he heard that the Fourteenth Master was in charge of the case, Longkodo was relieved and immediately walked to the door and shouted: "Go to Longfu Temple, Huguo Temple to get some breakfast, stir-fried liver, bean juice, rice porridge, roasted cakes, firewood, sesame cakes, steamed cakes, and noodles with some servings."

After hearing that Longkodo reported so much in one go, and even asked for a few copies, Yinzhen couldn't help but tease: "Just be happy, you don't have to open a breakfast shop in the infantry camp."

"Haha." Longkodo chuckled: "The Fourteenth Master has not used breakfast, so I guess the Eighth Master and the others have not used it either. Let's prepare together to save trouble."

"That's thoughtful." Yinzhen nodded and said, "I asked you to survey the situation yesterday, how is the situation?"

Speaking of the serious matter, Longkodo lowered the smile on his face and replied seriously: "Return to the Fourteenth Master, the lower official held a meeting overnight yesterday to summarize the situation, and the general situation has been clearly understood."

"Yeah." Yinzhen said with great satisfaction: "Show me the summary."

"Zhe." Longkodo bowed and responded, then took out a copy of the copy from the drawer and handed it over.

After reading the summary of the situation, Yinzhen finished breakfast, the eighth prince Yinsi, the ninth prince Yinzhen, and the tenth prince Yinyi rushed over. When he heard that the emperor had ordered four people to be responsible for the case, Yinyi couldn't help but chuckled: "The relationship is good, and this year will be lively."

"Why is it lively this year?" The Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang stepped in and asked with a smile.

"Why is Thirteen here too?" Yinzhi said with a smile.

"Hey, the 14th brother said I was bored in the mansion, so I sent me to help my brothers." Yinxiang said with a smile, and while saying that, he took a glass of bean juice, took another sesame cake, and said, "Even breakfast is ready, the 14th brother is really considerate."

"I dare not be greedy for merit. This is what Longkodo has prepared for you." Yinzhen smiled and said, "However, there is good news for you."

When Yinxiang heard this, he immediately said in surprise: "Did Emperor Ama agree to me to go to Europe?"

"That's not." Yinzhen chuckled and said, "The Fourth Brother should have decided to go to Europe. As for you, the Emperor Ahma still needs to consider it."

Ah? Yinxiang immediately drooped his face, bit the cake hard, and said vaguely: "Is this good news?"

"Satisfied, you are." Yin Ye said with a smile: "Or, let's change, I'll go to the Navy to have fun."

Yinzhen also smiled and said, "As soon as you said that, I want to go to Southeast Asia."
