Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 179
The prince called a few guards and gave orders.

"Is the eighth brother interested in talking with Gu Shou tonight?" the prince said.

"Happy to accompany you." Ba Ye said with a smile.

The prince's chess skills were taught by Kangxi himself, and he seems not weak.Although Ba Ye also likes to play chess, but after all, he is young, and he is still a bit inferior to the prince.

After playing for about an hour, Baye lost by one son.

"My brother is not good at chess, I made my second brother laugh at me." Eighth Master said regretfully.

"In time, the eighth younger brother's chess skills will be higher than that of Gu." The prince said.

Ba Ye shook his head and said, "My brother still has something to learn."

"I just look at what the eighth brother said today in the magistrate's yamen is not simple." The prince smiled and said: "It seems that the eighth brother has made a lot of preparations before leaving Beijing."

Ba Ye lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not a deliberate preparation. I watch these things with my fourth brother in the household department every day. I read them a lot, and I remember them in my mind. I didn't expect this time It will come in handy when you come out."

"That also shows that the eighth brother puts his heart into his errands on weekdays." The prince said.

"Don't dare to be praised as the second brother. Compared with the second and fourth brothers, the younger brother is far behind." Ba Ye said humbly.

"The eighth brother doesn't have to be so humble. It's a good thing to be capable, and you can share more of Huang Ama's worries." The prince said.

Ba Ye glanced at him, the look on the prince's face was very natural, it seemed that what he said was sincere.

"My brother still needs to work hard and learn more from the second and fourth brothers." Eighth Master said with a smile.

"The guards probably didn't come back so early, let's play another game?" The prince looked at the chessboard and asked.

"Okay!" Eighth Master nodded.

"This time I will let you go first," the prince said.

"Then the younger brother will not be polite." Ba Ye said with a smile.

The two played chess while waiting for the guards to come back.In the magistrate's yamen, the prefect of Jinan didn't sleep either.

He didn't expect the prince and the eighth master to be so easy to fool.When the county magistrate of Zibo came to deliver a letter to him, he didn't think so.

Although the prince has been in the court for a long time, he seldom comes out to learn about people's livelihood.The situation here is not clear to them.And that eighth master had even less time to work in the court.

I thought that he would be able to bluff the two of them by saying such a big deal at the beginning.Unexpectedly, the Prince was bluffed but the Eighth Master was not bluffed, so it was a bit embarrassing.

"It's really useless! If it wasn't for the riot, how could the court be alarmed!" the Jinan prefect said bitterly, and put all the flames on the head of the Zibo county magistrate!
"He's such a guy who's not doing enough to make things happen!" He scolded, but he was thinking about how to hand over to the governor D. The county magistrate is above him, the magistrate, but there is a governor above the magistrate.I heard that the governor has a background in Beijing, so no one dares to touch him easily!

It is precisely because of this that the officials below them have nothing to do.If you don't want to join forces, you can only be excluded.If you want to keep your official position, if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you can only go the same way as them.

After thinking for a long time, he still wrote a letter in hand and had someone deliver it to the governor's mansion overnight.

Unexpectedly, the sender was stopped by the guards sent by the prince not long after he left the magistrate's yamen.

Soon, the letter was delivered to the prince.

Ba Ye put down the chess piece in his hand, looked at the letter in the prince's hand, and said: "He really can't hold his breath anymore."

"The eighth brother's words today scared him. He thought we had found the clues." The prince smiled, and opened the letter in his hand as he spoke.

I saw a sentence written in the letter, "Two and Eight have suddenly arrived, and I seem to be aware of it."

"It's really short." The prince sneered.

"Tell me the news." Eighth Master also sneered.

"It seems that the biggest behind-the-scenes agent is Governor SD!" the prince said.

Ba Ye did not speak, but subconsciously glanced at the prince.

"Second brother, are we going to meet the governor?" Eighth Master asked.

"Of course. It's just that we won't go for the time being. Let's take a look at Jinan City tomorrow," the prince said.

"Okay, I will listen to my second brother." Eighth Master said.

"It's getting late, Gu go back to his room to rest first, and the eighth brother should sleep too. Tomorrow, I'm still busy." The prince said.

"Okay. See you tomorrow." Ba Ye got up and sent the prince out.

The prefect of Jinan had been waiting in the house for the messenger to come back, and when he didn't see him until dawn, he panicked.

It seems that the letter was not only not delivered, but also left behind.

Although the letter had only one sentence, it pointed clearly.It fell into the hands of the prince and the eighth master, and they knew what was going on at a glance.

Now he can only pray that the prince and the eighth master can't find any real evidence.In this way, even if the letter is intercepted, he cannot be convicted!

In the palace, Kangxi reviewed the memorials for another whole day.

"The prince and the eighth elder brother have been away for half a month, right?" he asked casually.

"Yes." Li Dequan replied from the side.

"It's time for news to return to Beijing." Kangxi frowned slightly.

"The weather is bad. I'm afraid it's delayed on the road." Li Dequan said.

"Unless the road is blocked by heavy snow, otherwise, we should have arrived early." Kangxi said.

Li Dequan lowered his hands and did not answer.

Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and looked outside the Qianqing Palace, where the sun was shining on the floor tiles in front of the main hall, reflecting colorful light.

"The weather in Beijing has been fine these few days."

"Long Live Lord, do you want to go to the Imperial Garden? I heard that the plum blossoms are just in bloom." Li Dequan suggested.

"Alright, let's go and have a look." Kangxi said, "Reading the brochures all day is also a change of mind."

"The servant is going to bring a cloak to Long Live Lord." Li Dequan said hastily.

Kangxi then slowly walked out of the hall.

Because of relaxation, Kangxi only brought Li Dequan with him.

Wearing a big cloak and hugging the stove, Kangxi walked unhurriedly.

At this time, the snow on the road had been swept away by the eunuchs, and it was not slippery to walk on.The warm sun shining on the body makes people feel warm in their hearts.

There is still a little distance between Qianqing Palace and Imperial Garden.The master and servant walked slowly, until they seemed a little relaxed.

When we arrived at the Royal Garden, the plum blossoms in the garden were competing to bloom, which was very pleasing to the eye.

"It's been a long time since I've been here, yet so many have been opened," Kangxi said.

"It snowed heavily a few days ago, but now it's sunny, and the flowers are blooming." Li Dequan laughed.

"Let someone go make a pot of good tea, and I will also come to sneak in." Kangxi laughed.

"Yes, I will arrange it now, servant." Li Dequan immediately called the little eunuch in the garden to give instructions.

Kangxi then walked to the pavilion in the imperial garden.

After a while, hot tea, snacks, and charcoal basins were all delivered one after another.

There is no shelter around the pavilion in the imperial garden, and the scenery is good, but it is colder in winter.There will be a charcoal basin here, which is very comfortable.

Kangxi drank tea, ate snacks, and admired the plum blossoms by himself, only feeling that his fatigue from the past few days had eased a little.

After drinking half a pot of tea and eating two pieces of snacks, Kangxi got up.Li Dequan hurriedly followed, but found that Kangxi went out of the imperial garden and did not go in the direction of Qianqing Palace, but went to Chuxiu Palace.
