Chapter 674 Give Them a Big Gift Too
That's easy!
Don't make it too obvious that you want to dig a corner.
The fourth master of the people spent a few years cultivating people, and he wanted to sit back and enjoy the fruits.
Even if Nian Gengyao doesn't follow him, he can still sow discord.
Kangxi frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "This proposal is not bad. Since he is capable of writing and martial arts, let him work as an errand under Fei Yanggu, as a... general."
He only considered the surface and did not consider the small things.
After all, he manages such a big country, it is impossible to take everything into consideration.
Moreover, Kangxi valued fourth master this time.
It was also intentional for Nian Gengxiao to work with the fourth master's father-in-law and let him do things for the fourth master.
So after five years of experience, Nian Gengyao was finally reborn from Nirvana.
After all, he actually performed really well this time.
According to different people, different methods can be used to force people to hand over money.
A little Zhima official, even when he sees Master Yipin, he is not at all afraid and does his job as usual.
But... because his original official position was too small, he was not qualified to participate in the big start this time.
Everything in the future is uncertain.
After making arrangements for Nian Gengyao, Kangxi seemed to think of fourth master.
A pair of experienced eyes turned to look at the fourth master, and said lightly: "Fourth, since the eighth pleaded for you, I also feel relieved. You are sharing my worries for me, and thinking about the common people and the court. However, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you did something wrong, I will fine you to donate 60,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, what do you want?"
"Your servant must abide by the holy words." Things that can be solved with money are nothing.
It's already very good that I haven't been suspended for half a year.
Sixty thousand taels of silver, to him, was nothing more than two years' salary.
Nor does he live on a salary.
Immediately afterwards, Kangxi named several people who owed money and did not pay back.
They were so frightened that they all swore that they would repay the debt within three days.
After half an hour, Daqi also dispersed.
After everyone dispersed, fourth master took the initiative to stay and begged to see Kangxi.
But the father and son didn't chat for long, and the fourth master came out.
At this moment, Thirteenth Master, who was waiting for Fourth Master outside the gate of the Forbidden City, stepped forward and said, "Fourth Brother, Huang Ama didn't mention you, did he?"
"No." Fourth master had a smile on his face.
It seems that coming out of Qianqing Palace, the mood is much better than outside the palace.
"You don't know. When the prince wanted to take the opportunity to drag you into the water, I was so worried. Fortunately, Huang Ama ignored him and dealt with Huang Tiren and Xiao Guoxing. Who didn't know that those two were collecting black-hearted money for the prince. Yes, Huang Ama saved face for the prince and didn't expose it, but everyone knows that his old man gave the prince a wake-up call, it's really fun!"
"Well, Huang Tiren and Xiao Guoxing are really hateful. They are on duty in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but they let the wicked survive and the good take the blame. It's really confusing right and wrong. The forgiveness taught by the saints is useless." The fourth master said.
"By the way, fourth brother, the prince can't jump around now, but my eighth brother recommended Nian Gengyao, what kind of wild way is this? Brother, I don't understand why, if he wants to poach Nian Gengyao's corner, how can he?" Instead, he pushed Nian Gengyao to us, isn't this fulfilling us?" Shi Ye was really puzzled.
Fourth Master and Thirteenth Master got into the carriage together, and after they sat firmly, he said: "I can't see what his intentions are for the time being, but the intention is definitely not good."
"I just can't stand him pretending to be a saint despite his full stomach. It's really disgusting." Thirteenth Master felt disgusted when he thought of Eighth Master's hypocritical face.
Such a person is still the Eight Sage Kings!
"This time, all the officials were crying in the Qianqing Palace. The crown prince and the eighth master had a lot to do with each other. I still wondered whether Wei Dongting was from the old eighth man. He said something to him, otherwise it would be Tian Wenjing. With a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to tell Wei Dongting to the point of committing suicide."
As early as when someone was making trouble, he had noticed the clue.
After all, Wei Dongting has experienced a lot of things, and he is an old fritters who have eaten for decades.
How can Tian Wenjing look for death and life just because of Tian Wenjing's few words?
After hearing this, Master Shi opened his eyes in surprise, and said in disbelief: "My God, myna and the others are too bad. They treat us well on the surface, but in private, they don't even care about the minister's life in order to discredit you!"
"Since he and the prince don't want me to be good, anyway, the pursuit of the treasury has come to an end, we have some free time, and I will give them a big gift in a few days." The fourth master said indifferently.
The Thirteenth Lord's mansion was closer to the Forbidden City, so he got out of the car first.
Then, fourth master loaded the carriage and returned to Prince Yong's mansion.
But before he got out of the car, a big news spread from the Forbidden City: Kangxi rewarded the fourth master with a Zhuangzi as big as the Old Summer Palace, just as the fourth master left the Qianqing Palace.
It's just that no one knows what the two father and son talked about.
Kangxi claimed to the public that Si Ye could not do the job this time, but his attitude was very good, at least he dared to do things that others dared not do.
He was also worried about the people's worries, and was willing to give one million taels of silver to the imperial court, and also allocated to the Yellow River for disaster relief, so he was rewarded with a garden.
In fact, Kangxi did not expect to recover all the money from the national treasury this time.
It's just to test the loyal attitude of the elder brothers, and let the ministers know that the fourth master's attitude towards the court is different from other elder brothers.
At the same time, let fourth master see clearly who is perfunctory and who is supporting him.
Above the court, under the pressure of Kangxi, the two fathers and sons have long been clear at a glance.
Even if fourth master failed to recover the money, on the surface it was fined some money.
But in the future, he intends to make up for it.
But fourth master was willing to spend one million taels of silver for disaster relief, so that the compensation could be obtained earlier.
You know, the crown prince begged Kangxi for the Old Summer Palace for a long time, and the elder brothers are all staring at that precious land.
Now, watching fourth master get punished.
Then I heard that the Old Summer Palace belonged to the fourth master.
It's no wonder those elder brothers feel better in their hearts!
After returning home, fourth master sent someone to send 1.06 million taels of silver to the Forbidden City immediately.
They also selected some Wenwan and real money to send to Wu Sidao.
This time, he was more or less hesitant.
Thanks to Wu Sidao's analysis with him layer by layer, it made him more firm in his inner thoughts.
Wu Sidao said earlier that this matter must not be done well.
If it doesn't work out, Kangxi will punish the fourth master in order to stabilize the officials.
Indeed, fourth master was fined 60,000 taels of silver.
But Kangxi only made it for all officials to see. In his heart, I am afraid that those sons are not as good as the fourth master.
Because in times of crisis, only Siye showed Kangxi that he would not be soft on bureaucrats.
After everything was settled, Su Peisheng reminded in a low voice: "Master, it's lunch time, do you think it's time for lunch?"
Fourth Master rubbed his brows. Although he knew that it would be impossible to recover the treasury, he was not sloppy at all.
In the past few days, it was almost dawn every day, and after resting for an hour, he left the house again.
