Chapter 662
The eighth master who was named took a step forward and said softly: "My son was indeed in charge of the transfer department before. Although it was not long, he still felt ashamed when he learned that the national treasury was short of money. The pursuit of the national treasury is also a top priority, son It's really shameful, only the fourth brother can be worthy of everyone."
Eighth Master's answer was impeccable.
Every gesture was very calm, as if he had guessed this scene long ago and prepared his speech in advance.
As soon as these words came out, Kangxi's complexion was unstable, but he was very disappointed in his heart.
It's all bullshit to feel ashamed and ashamed.
Didn't know that this errand offended people, involved people from all walks of life, and it was very difficult to complete.
Also, the human essence known as the "Eight Wise Kings".
How can the reputation accumulated over the years be ruined because of this kind of errand.
Thinking of this, Kangxi's impression of Ba Ye was greatly reduced.
Originally, he was not optimistic about Ba Ye, but now he thinks that Ba Ye only wants to gain benefits and doesn't want to put effort into it.
Such a person can only be like this in this life.
At this moment, even if Kangxi saw through Ba Ye, he didn't reveal anything.
Because, he still wants to test other princes.
Kangxi trembling dragon beard, turned to ask the prince.
"Yinfeng, what do you think?"
Even if the prince knew that Kangxi valued him, he wanted him to take over the matter.
But he could only pretend that he didn't understand, and nodded casually: "Huang Ama, my son thinks that the fourth brother is good, he has always been upright in his affairs, and he is very safe."
The prince was in a mess.
This matter has become such a big deal, excluding the debts owed outside, he still owes the treasury 500,000 taels of silver.
He has been thinking about it for the past few days, and he didn't even think about how to pay back the money.
Where is the time to take on such a thankless job?
After Kangxi heard the prince's answer, he was even more disappointed than he was with Baye.
These days, he was so moved by the prince's filial piety that he lost his mind.
Forgot all the bad deeds of the prince, thinking that the prince is finally sensible and knows how to behave filial piety.
But at this moment, he really understood.
It turned out that the prince was just doing superficial work to gain his favor.
At the critical moment, he was so cowardly that he had no idea and was unwilling to share things for him.
Just like the wooden fish in the monk's hand, it will only move once it is beaten by others.
What's the difference between that and the old eight, they are both cowards!
As an old emperor who ascended the throne at the age of eight, to be able to sit firmly until now is because he had great ambitions since he was a child.
But the prince is lazy and incompetent, narrow-minded, without the air of an emperor.
A man as majestic as Kangxi, with a bold and unrestrained temperament, and a man who dares to act.
What I despise the most is this kind of weak and incompetent person.
A pair of experienced eyes suddenly dimmed a bit.
Probably unwilling to give up, but angry.
I always feel that it is not enough to be too big. The young elder brother is young and energetic, and there will always be bold ones.
So, he casually named the third master, "Third son, what about you?"
The third master immediately showed a bitter look, and cried bitterly: "Huang Ama, my minister is in the Imperial Academy all day long, how can I know about the Ministry of Households, besides, I owe the treasury 400,000 taels of silver, and I am trying to find a way to pay it back." Well, how can there be time to take care of such important matters. Besides, even if the minister is chasing the money, it is not convincing."
He had already thought of his rhetoric, after all, he owed money to the treasury.
He hasn't repaid his own debts, and he still wants to recover other people's money, but they won't listen to him at all.
"Where is Old Nine?" Kangxi called the roll again.
Master Jiu smiled coyly, and said: "Huang Ama, my son was doing big business in the capital before, and he rarely cared about the affairs of the court. Later, you let your son work with the starlings. Even the starlings can't take over, so the minister is even more I have no ability."
"Old Ten, you are straight-tempered, tell me." Kangxi said casually.
Master Shi is really straight-tempered, and everyone else is frowning, so he said with a cheeky smile: "Huang Ama, you usually call me an idiot, and my brothers can't do errands, how can I do it."
Kangxi suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and asked Elder Brother Xiang Fourteen, "Fourteen, don't you always say that when you grow up, do you want to find a good job with me?"
"Huang Ama, my son is still young and doesn't understand the world. Besides, my mother always said that I was reckless. You asked my son to go backwards on the battlefield. This kind of nonsense, my son is really afraid of getting into a fight. That's not right. Did you mess things up?"
Fighting will be life-threatening, but he is not afraid of death.
After all, fighting a war has a chance of winning.
Well, this errand simply can't be done.
And he promised starling not to care about this matter.
After hearing the words of the fourteenth elder brother, Kangxi really had mixed feelings in his heart.
How should I put it, although Brother Fourteen did not agree to take over this job, he did not disappoint.
It even gave Kangxi more comfort in his heart.
Those who are willing to go to the battlefield are not afraid of losing their lives, but are they afraid of offending others?
Maybe it's just not good at it!
He held his lips, and promised in a voice like a bell: "Okay, when there is a suitable one in the future, you will go to the battlefield to fight against the enemy."
"Then I will thank Huang Ama first." Elder Fourteen replied.
For a while, those officials naturally had to take advantage of this opportunity to ease the atmosphere.
Everyone praised Brother Fourteen for his courage, blah blah blah a lot.
Listening to the minister's praise of the fourteenth elder brother, Kangxi couldn't be happy in his heart.
Having given birth to so many sons, all of them look so good, but no one is willing to share his worries.
In the end, he could only ask Fourth Master Xiang, "Fourth Brother, since all the officials and brothers have recommended you, are you willing to go after the state treasury?"
The reason why he didn't agree immediately when he was recommended by hundreds of officials.
I just wanted to try it out and see how you guys react.
Now the elder brothers have let him down to the extreme, if they worry too much, they will delay things instead.
Now, this is the last hope and dignity of an old father.
In fact, Kangxi knew in his heart that the fourth child never showed affection when dealing with affairs.
Just to see if the fourth child has any intentions, and to share his worries.
Do you have a heart that dares to be a lonely minister?
Fourth Master, who had been silent all this time, paused slightly.
He knew that someone would recommend him, but he didn't expect that all civil and military officials would be so united as if they had agreed.
This time, it was probably the only time in the past few years that all civil and military officials, including the prince, praised him and recommended him.
Even Huang Ama, looking at him...seemed to have a sense of reliance.
The next moment, he slapped a thousand, and said in a deep voice: "The Yellow River flooded, starving and dying everywhere. The people died and were injured. My minister is willing to immediately pursue the treasury, recover the money as soon as possible, and relieve the people in disasters."
As soon as these words came out, Kangxi, who was extremely disappointed, finally said with a hearty smile: "Okay, okay, okay!"
At this time, Ba Ye, who had been watching the show, actually recommended it: "Huang Ama, the fourth brother must be difficult to fight against everyone alone. As far as I know, Nian Gengyao from the Imperial Academy is not bad, maybe I can share a little for the fourth brother." matter."
