Chapter 194 Fill the gap
"The crown prince is the heir apparent of the Qing Dynasty, so he must not put himself in danger."

Zhang Tingyu frowned and said.

Treating the flood is not like going to every house. If there is a flood, those affected by the disaster will make trouble, and it is very likely that the prince will be held hostage. Then at that time, the Qing Dynasty will be in chaos?
"Zhang Tingyu is right, the crown prince can't go."

Lord Kangxi's eyes darkened.

"But······"

The prince is obviously not reconciled, he doesn't want to be a prince in name only.

"I've made up my mind, the prince doesn't need to say anything more."

Lord Kangxi raised his hand falsely, signaling the prince not to say any more, even if the prince is dissatisfied, he can only swallow it.

"Ninth elder brother Yinzhen."

Master Kangxi's eyes swept over all the sons, and finally stopped on Master Li Jiu.

"My son is here!"

Master Jiu took a step forward, bowed his head and cupped his fists.

Although the face is flattered, the heart has already set off a stormy sea.

The previous Empress Ama never thought of him.

If you encounter such an errand.

Either the fourth child will go, or the eighth child will go, or the fourteenth child will go.

Master Jiu couldn't even be ranked.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Master Jiu wanted to hide, but was missed by Master Kangxi alone.

"You and Chen Pengnian will go to Kaifeng Mansion together."

Master Kangxi's thoughtful eyes fell on Master Jiu.

Among these princes, Lord Jiu was indeed not the most suitable candidate, but it was precisely because Lord Kangxi knew that Lord Jiu was not the most suitable candidate, so he was chosen.

Kangxi could also see that Lao Jiu didn't care about the throne, and Lao Jiu was also the richest among these princes, so he absolutely despised the disaster relief money allocated by the court.

This is the real purpose of Lord Kangxi in choosing Lord Jiu.

"My son obeys the order!"

Master Jiu didn't change his face, but he was so wronged in his heart that he was about to die.

He doesn't want an errand, he just wants to be a prince who eats and waits to die. Why is it so difficult?
"That's all for today, Cao Yin stays here, you all go back!"

Lord Kangxi waved his hand, motioning everyone to retreat, except Cao Yin was left behind.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Headed by the crown prince, everyone saluted Kangxi and left the hall.

"Retire too!!"

After everyone left, Lord Kangxi waved his hand again, signaling Li Dequan to leave as well.

At that time, there were only two people left in the hall, Kangxi and Cao Yin.

Lord Kangxi sat on the chair, looked down at the memorial on the table, and did not say a word.

This made Cao Yin nervous for a while, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.

But the emperor didn't speak, and he couldn't say anything.

"Snapped!"

Lord Kangxi suddenly threw the folder in his hand at Cao Yin, hitting Cao Yin directly in the face.

The black hat on Cao Yin's head was distorted by this memorial.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Cao Yin panicked, but he didn't dare to straighten the black gauze hat, so he knelt down straight.

It was a coincidence that the memorial fell at Cao Yin's feet. He knelt down and saw the contents inside.

Isn't it the memorial of Garli's impeachment?
Cao Yin was shocked because it was clearly written in the memorial, when Cao Yin started to embezzle and how much money he embezzled, none of the figures were correct.

"Look what a good thing you've done?"

Lord Kangxi pointed angrily at Cao Yin who was kneeling on the ground.If it wasn't for the relationship between the two of them, Cao Yin would have been in prison long ago, how could he stand in front of Lord Kangxi so completely.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, but this humble minister is just being confused for a moment!"

Cao Yin is not a fool either, if the emperor had no real evidence, he would not have left him alone.

Therefore, in front of the emperor at this moment, Cao Yin never thought of defending himself.

He obediently confessed his guilt.

Although most of the money was used to pick up the driver, Cao Yin didn't dare to say it. He could only say that he was confused for a while and begged Lord Kangxi for atonement.

"I can pretend that I don't know about this matter, but I order you to make up for the entire deficit of the court within a few days!"

Lord Kangxi also knew why Cao Yin wanted to embezzle, so it was not easy to convict Cao Yin.

Coupled with the loyalty of the Cao family for generations, Lord Kangxi did not want Cao Yin to spend his whole life in prison in the future.

"This······"

Cao Yin frowned tightly, hesitating slightly.

It's not that he doesn't want to make up for the shortfalls, it's that he doesn't have the ability to make up for these shortfalls, otherwise how could he be caught by Ga Li at this moment?

"Ok?"

Lord Kangxi frowned, thinking that Cao Yin was unwilling.

"Please rest assured, the emperor, the servant will definitely make up for these shortfalls."

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, but in front of the emperor at this time, Cao Yin can only agree.

As for how to make up later, we will talk about it when we go back.

"Well, what's going on with this Qiao family?"

Seeing Cao Yin responding, Lord Kangxi remembered another thing.

Lord Kangxi remembered that a few years ago, there was no Qiao family in this Jiangning area. Now looking at the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the weaving industry is almost monopolized by the Qiao family. This is not a good thing for the court.

The silver in the treasury does not only come from tax revenue, but also from some court business, such as official kiln porcelain, and weaving in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

If the weaving industry is monopolized by the Qiao family, then for the imperial court, part of the income will be lost.

"This Qiao family is a weaving family that has risen suddenly in recent years."

When it comes to the Qiao family, Cao Yin is also full of bitterness.

In the past two years, the Qiao family has frequently provoked the weavers to come to the Yamen, but because most of the weavers are in their hands, Cao Yin dare not do anything to the Qiao family.

"The head of the Qiao family is the current eldest daughter of the Qiao family. With a pair of pink brocade with double lion ball patterns, the Qiao family opened up a difficult situation. Later, because many styles of brocades were produced, the Qiao family was pushed down step by step. Come up."

Cao Yin used to really look down on women, but the appearance of Qiao Chufeng made Cao Yin change his previous attitude.

It turns out that women can also support a family.

And he also recognized Qiao Chufeng's ability, but she didn't know the reason to avoid it.

Looking at it now, even the emperor knows about it.

"There is such a strange woman in this Jiangning area."

Lord Kangxi raised his brows slightly, and a look of interest flashed in his eyes.

"Go and send a message, just say that I want to see this young lady."

Lord Kangxi always took everything under applause, but this Qiao Chufeng surprised him.

According to Lord Kangxi's temperament, naturally Qiao Chufeng would not be left in Jiangning.

"Yes!"

After Cao Yin was slightly stunned, he immediately understood what Lord Kangxi meant.

After saluting, he withdrew.

After returning to his residence, he hurriedly called the master.

"You go and send someone to Qiao's house, and you must be more polite."

Cao Yin has been up and down in the officialdom for so many years, and grew up with Lord Kangxi since he was a child. He knows the temperament of Lord Kangxi very well. He is afraid that Qiao Chufeng will not be as simple as an ordinary person after tomorrow.

"Yes"

The master responded and withdrew.
