Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 395
"Your Majesty, it's done."

Concubine Hui smiled, looking very happy.

"A prince who can't have a baby, if Lord Long Live knows, it will be impossible for him to inherit the throne. My son is having a hard time, so why should he be having a good time?"

The nanny said: "Your Majesty, besides these, you need slaves..."

Concubine Hui shook her head: "I don't need anything else for the time being. Let's just clean up the eight tails. Let's just wait and see. When Concubine Liang finds out, she personally sends out the palace maid to drug her precious son so that she can't have children. Let's see if she can do it." Laugh out."

The nanny followed with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Concubine Hui's methods are not very clever, but the methods commonly used in the back house, the methods don't care about being old, as long as they are easy to use, Concubine Hui can do these things without the help of Eight Brothers and others. Brother too underestimated the enemy's sake.

The stupidity shown by the elder brother these years made the eighth elder brother mistakenly think that Concubine Hui is not very smart. Could it be that Concubine Hui didn't use tricks on him, but she disdain to use tricks on him.

Now, her natal family has been defeated and her son is almost useless. Concubine Hui has nothing to worry about. Naturally, there is nothing she dare not do in order to get revenge.

Compared with the eighth elder brother's smugness, Yinzhen has kept a low profile recently. Kangxi seems to have forgotten him and threw him into the Ministry of Industry, leaving him alone.

He himself thinks that the Ministry of Industry is very good, and has done a lot of projects that benefit the country and the people. Although they may not look obvious, they are all useful projects.

Compared with the other ministries, the Ministry of Industry is somewhat less conspicuous. Gradually, Yinzhen is like an invisible person in the court.

The eighth elder brother's staff flattered the eighth elder brother: "Nowadays, there is no one in the court who can compare with you, master."

The eighth elder brother said: "Fourth brother needs to pay more attention."

Although Yinzhen now looks leisurely and contented, and seems to be a bit indifferent to power, but the eighth elder brother always feels that something is wrong.

People who are incompetent want to fight if they have the opportunity. Yinzhen is capable, and his ability is not bad. How can he be so open-minded, without any worldly desires.

The eighth elder brother thinks this is unreasonable.

It's puzzling, but the eighth elder brother feels that Yinzhen is not indisputable, but hides too deeply.

He didn't believe that there were people in the world who had no desires or desires like him.

Another staff member said disdainfully: "Master, I have inquired about it. Now Prince Yong is fighting fiercely with a group of low-level craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry. He really doesn't care about his own status. How can anyone be willing to follow such a person."

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, workers, although not the last class, but they are not high class, a prince, too close to a group of craftsmen, let people know, lose face and lose face, someone with a little family background, who wants to associate with him.

Eighth Brother: "Although that is the case, I am not at ease. It is always good to be careful."

"My master said so."

The eighth elder brother did have doubts in his heart, but the people who heard this didn't take it very seriously. After all, what Yinzhen showed was really not like a person with pursuit. From their point of view, there was nothing to be afraid of. In short, The other is that I don't pay much attention to it.

……

"Report to Lord Long Live, the Yellow River flowing through Anhui has burst its embankment."

This is not good news. The Yellow River broke its embankment, and it was still the section of the river in Anhui.

Kangxi looked angry: "I remember that the funds were allocated to repair the river embankment last year. Could it be that the embankment was built with mud, and the embankment burst when it was flushed. Who is responsible for the construction of the river embankment?"

"Long Live Lord, it is Mr. Chen Wenqi."

"Where are the others?" There was such a big trouble, why didn't he make a move.

"Report to Lord Long Live, Mr. Chen committed suicide by throwing himself into the river."

Hearing this, Kangxi threw the teacup on the table: "Very good, the one who caused the trouble was killed, but he died neatly, trying to leave the people in the whole house displaced, it's really good!!"

"Long live God calm down!"

"Calm down, how can I calm down, where is Chen Wenqi's family?"

"Reporting to Lord Long Live, part of Mr. Chen's family is in the capital, and the other part is in Anhui."

Kangxi ordered: "Chen Wenqi neglected his duties, the officials of the three ethnic groups were dismissed, and both men and women were assigned to Ningguta. In the next three generations, they will not be allowed to take the imperial examination to become officials."

It is not an exaggeration to say that this punishment is murder.

Dismissal and exile, the key is to cut off the possibility of the Chen family's future fortune.

The people below were also a little frightened when they heard it: "Long live Lord Shengming."

Punishment has also been punished, and the matter of the Yellow River breaking its embankment cannot be left alone.

The most urgent thing now is to treat the victims, appease the victims, and rebuild the embankment.

Thinking of this, Kangxi had an idea in his mind, and he sent someone to call Yinzhen and Ba Age.

Both of them had already received the news that the Yellow River in Anhui had broken its embankment, and they had a plan in mind when they were asked to come here.

"I asked you to come here and I have something for you."

The two said in unison: "Huang Ama ordered it."

Kangxi: "The Yellow River broke its embankment in Anhui, and the people were displaced. I sent you two to Anhui for disaster relief with relief money and food."

Yinzhen and the eighth elder brother: "My son obeys the order."

Kangxi further refined their division of labor. Yinzhen was mainly responsible for investigating the local officials in Anhui, ensuring that the relief money and food were used on the people, and finally responsible for rebuilding the embankment.

It is more convenient for him to be in the Ministry of Industry.

The eighth elder brother is mainly responsible for implementing the disaster relief money and relief food, and distributing the disaster relief funds to let the people know that the court has not given up on them.

The division of labor between the two is different. In terms of difficulty, Yinzhen's reconstruction of the embankment is more difficult, after all, it is a big project.

In terms of benefits, Eighth Prince would take advantage of it even more. After all, he has shown himself in front of the people, and if he does a good job, he can improve his reputation among the people no matter what.

This is also somewhat beneficial to the competition for big positions.

After Kangxi's imperial decree, everyone in the court thought they understood Kangxi's intentions, and thought that he valued Eighth Brother more.

After all, this division of labor is obviously to give the eighth elder brother the bulk of the credit.

Yinzhen didn't think there was anything wrong, but he understood Kangxi's intentions better than ordinary people.

Compared with him, Eighth Prince is more tactful and better at dealing with people Zhou Xuan, plus he is born with a kind and gentle appearance, which is more suitable for appeasing the people than him.

Although he can do it, but he is used to being cold, and his face is better at making an expression of calmness and prestige to appease the people, which is not as effective as the eighth elder brother.

Furthermore, it is indeed more suitable for him to rebuild the embankment and supervise the flow of disaster relief funds.

Probably in Kangxi's heart, he is more stable and reliable.

What Yinzhen thought was similar to what Kangxi thought.

Yinzhen is going to Anhui, because he is going to provide disaster relief, Tong Cheng'er can't go there with him. If people know about it, his reputation will not be good. Going out for disaster relief and bringing a woman with him will make people feel that it is too much of a waste of beauty, and it seems not doing business properly.

Tong Cheng'er asked: "How long will it take to go this time?"

Yinzhen replied: "It's hard to say how long it will take. It depends on the specific situation. Rebuilding the embankment is not a trivial matter. I don't feel relieved if I don't watch it personally."

Repairing the embankment is not a small project. Although he is responsible for it, there are many people involved in it, and there are always some courageous people. He does not stare at it and is worried.

"After the flood, it is easy to cause disease. You must be more careful. You must be very careful about what you take in. You should bring more medicinal materials, and you should also bring some food..."

Yinzhen: "Okay, I'll let Su Peisheng prepare for it. Although the Yellow River's embankment broke suddenly this time, the local parents and officials are still effective. The control is not bad, and it should not cause epidemics."

Tong Cheng'er was still worried: "It's always good to be careful."
