The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 202
Li Dequan went down and presented the account book to Kangxi. Although he didn't see the contents of the book, several people below had changed their faces.Xifuna anxiously wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and now he has offended everyone who can or cannot be offended in the court.This is also helpless, now that I don't want to offend them, since the emperor's current anger is all on him, he should confiscate his family and exterminate his family.

Kangxi quickly flipped through the paperwork presented by Xifuna, his face became more gloomy and frightening as he looked back, and finally he laughed out of anger.It's just that laughter made the people in the hall shiver uncontrollably, "Okay, that's great! These are the real ministers, these are the officials of the Qing Dynasty... and my sons, the princes of the Qing Dynasty ..." Kangxi stood up abruptly, but felt dizzy for a while, and swayed. Li Dequan was shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him regardless of the rules, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body." Kneeling down, "Please take care of the dragon's body..." Kangxi pushed Li Dequan away, and said with a chuckle: "Hey, take care of the dragon's body! The Minister of Rites, Kai Yinbu, will make a decision, and the whole family will distribute Ning Guta. All the family property Fill it all into the national treasury!" The Minister of Rites is the previous Minister of the Ministry of Households.The Minister of Rites, who is not young, immediately kneeled down on the ground with his legs limp, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty... the old minister knows I was wrong..." Kangxi waved his sleeves coldly, "Pull it down!" The two guards outside the door walked away. He came in, and dragged out with the Minister of Rites on one side and the other on the left, and his wailing could still be heard from a distance.

"Prince Yinreng!" Kangxi slowly sat back on his seat.

Yinreng hurriedly came out, "My son is here." Kangxi ignored him, and continued: "Yinzhi, the king of Chengjun." Yinzhi hurriedly followed and knelt beside Yinreng.

"The ninth son of the emperor, Yinzhen."

"Wenda."

"Sirhana."

"Tong Guowei."

All the ministers who were named were from prominent backgrounds and high positions, and there were even a few descendants of the royal relatives and clans.With a wave of his hand, Kangxi threw out the notebook in his hand, and said: "Tell me, where did the money go?" Yinfeng knelt on the ground with his head down, how dare he pick up the memorial?Looking sideways at Yinfeng, who was standing on one side, looking at his nose and his heart, Yinfeng's guilty conscience suddenly became more depressed. Huang Ama actually didn't give himself, the crown prince, so much face...he couldn't believe it. The boss didn't reach out to the Ministry of Finance!

"Yinreng." Yinreng was in a trance, when he heard Kangxi calling him, he quickly responded, "My son is here."

Kangxi stared at him and said, "The crown prince's annual silver is 4000 taels, twice that of the prince. Tell me, what did you do with the 30 taels?"

Yinfeng was speechless, "My son... my son..." No matter how stupid he was, he dared not say that he used it to make friends with ministers or squander it.However, although he himself was indeed not enough for more than 2 taels of routine silver every year, he did not dare to say it in front of Kangxi. After all, the other brothers with the highest titles such as Yin Yinzhi and Yinzhen only had 5000 taels a year.Seeing Yinfeng's terrified appearance, Kangxi snorted and said, "I don't want to care what you do with it now. I will send the money back to the treasury within three days." Kangxi didn't say anything, and got up directly left.It is precisely because nothing has been said that it is even more disturbing. After all, Kaiyinbu's fate is still pending.When Kangxi's figure disappeared from the hall, Yinreng couldn't hold it anymore, and managed to stand firm without making a fool of himself.As soon as he raised his head, he met Shang Yinfei's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.Yinfeng snorted disdainfully, and Yinfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled indifferently: "Is it not convenient for the prince? Brother, I still have some surplus in my hand, do you want to use it for emergency?" Yinfeng said: "I'm alone I don't believe you don't have a share." Yinfeng smiled and said nothing, Yinfeng was right, he did borrow money from the treasury, not because he didn't have enough money to spend, after all, Yinfeng was used to marching and fighting outside, and in life Absolutely not as extravagant as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and with the usual donations from Dafu Jin's natal family and his mother-in-law, the family's expenses are not bad.It's just because the prince borrowed it from him.As soon as the news that the Yellow River broke its embankment for the second time came back to Beijing, Mingzhu, who stayed in the capital, paid back the money for him first.Mingzhu has been in the officialdom all her life, but now that she is idle at home, she can see it more clearly.I have long understood that the treasury has no money, and the emperor will liquidate the treasury sooner or later, but now he has escaped the wrath of Huang Ama?
Yinzhen, who was also reprimanded, seemed indifferent.In Man Daqing, even if anyone has no money, he will not be without money, it just depends on whether he wants to pay it back.His ninth master is known as the Living God of Wealth, and just a little leakage from the fingers is enough for others to live in wealth for a lifetime.But the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen was not so relaxed. Among so many elder brothers, apart from the eighth elder brother's concubine Erniang Liang, the concubine De had the worst family background.In the past, it was good that Yinzhen hadn't opened a mansion yet, Concubine De was favored, Kangxi had a lot of rewards, and Yinzhen didn't care how much he squandered.After opening the mansion, he had to support his family and make friends with ministers, so he would have starved to death with his little salary of Beizi grade.Moreover, the Wanyan family of Difu Jin that Kangxi pointed out to him was not considered prominent, so Yinzhen became one of the elder brothers who borrowed money from the treasury.After leaving Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen turned around and went to Yonghe Palace. This matter needs to be discussed with Er Niang.

Yinhu and Yinhu came out from Qianqing Palace, and watched Yinzhen heading towards Yonghe Palace, Yinhu smiled and said: "Both are born of the same mother, the lives of the fourth child and the fourteenth child are really different." Yinhu raised his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile: "Huang Ama pointed out a good Fujin to the fourth brother. It's a pity for the poor Concubine De, who has been tossing around for so many years." Yinzhen's Fujin is the most beautiful among the princes None of the characters and family backgrounds are the worst, but none of them are particularly outstanding.It is even more incomparable with Sifu Jin, so even though Yinzhen was not protected by his mother since he was a child, and Concubine De protected Yinzhen everywhere, the days of the two brothers' house were lost.Others may not know, which of these brothers is not staring at the situation in the other party's mansion. The Yongjun Palace looks simple, and there is no extravagance and luxury in the mansion from the master to the servant, but if you think that the money in the Yongjun Palace is difficult It was so wrong, not to mention the large sum of money that Empress Xiaoyi left to Yinzhen, it was Daiyu's red makeup when she married into Yongjun's palace, which made many people's eyes red.Even the imperial physicians in the palace knew that King Yong looked indifferent, but he was never stingy with rewards.The Fourteenth Elder Brother's Mansion is just the opposite. It seems to be very high-profile on weekdays. In fact, if it weren't for the support of Fujin's mother's family, he would have been unable to make ends meet.Now Yinzhen feels that he understands why Concubine De keeps filling Yinzhen's mansion with noble girls from Manchuria.
