Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 454
"Fourth brother? So early?" Eighth Master was a little surprised and said, "Please hurry up."

The fourth master entered the room with his whole body full of moisture, and the eighth master hurriedly got up and said, "Fourth brother, come quickly and drink a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold air. It's early in the morning, is there something urgent?"

"Just received the news that Huang Ama sent several teams out last night." Fourth Master sat down to drink tea after finishing speaking.

"What happened?" Eighth Master frowned.

"I don't know." Fourth Master shook his head, "I want to ask Eighth Brother if he knows anything?"

"I was drinking with my ninth and tenth brothers last night, and I didn't pay attention to Huang Ama's movements." Ba Ye said, "How did fourth brother know?"

"Isn't my yard next to the street? Next to it is the yard where Huang Ama and the others live. I couldn't sleep last night. I was walking in the yard and heard a lot of horseshoes over there. That's why I asked someone to check." Si Ye said.

"It's strange, we didn't hear anything happened yesterday?" Eighth Master said to himself.

"Brother, are you ready for breakfast? We'll go back after we eat!" Master Ten rushed in with a loud voice, followed by Master Jiu. Seeing that Master Si was there, both of them were taken aback.

"I've met fourth brother." The two saluted quickly.

Fourth Master smiled and said: "It seems that I had a great time drinking last night."

"What's the matter, fourth brother, early in the morning?" Master Jiu asked.

"It's nothing, come and ask the eighth brother to pay respects to Huang Ama together." The fourth master said.

Master Jiu didn't believe it at all, but he didn't bother to ask.Instead of asking from fourth master, he might as well ask eighth master later.

The tenth master didn't care what the fourth master was doing here at all, he just said: "Brother, you must have eaten breakfast, brother, I'm still hungry!"

Ba Ye couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are indispensable! Sit down, breakfast will come in a while."

"Hey! I was so busy drinking last night, my stomach is so empty now!" Master Shi laughed.

"Did fourth brother have breakfast? Let's go together." Eighth Master said.

"Okay." Fourth Master replied quite simply.Actually he did.But since he doesn't plan to talk about things in front of Master Jiu and Master Shi, it would be embarrassing to sit on the sidelines, so it's better to have some food with him.

After breakfast, Master Jiu and Master Ten went back to their yard to change, while Master Fourth stayed behind.

"What's on your mind, fourth brother?" Eighth Master asked, "Why do you think Huang Ama will send someone out?"

"Unannounced visit." Fourth master said.

"Unannounced visit?" Eighth Master read it again, and said, "Fourth Brother, did you mean that Huang Ama was not satisfied with the previous inspection?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied." Fourth Master said, "Probably because I want to see a more real side."

Eighth Master immediately understood.Just like they go out to run errands in microservices.The changes of some officials before and after learning their identities are really amazing.In this way, there are many situations where one thing is done to the face and the other is behind the scenes.

Like their inspections in the past few days, the officials have learned the news early, and many things have probably been prepared in advance.Now that they are gone, these officials must have relaxed their vigilance, maybe they will reveal some flaws.

"Is Huang Ama like this when he came out to tour the South in the early years?" Eighth Master asked.This was his first southern tour with Kangxi, and he didn't know what happened before.

Fourth Master shook his head and said, "This has never happened before."

"Could it be that something happened instead of an unannounced visit?" Ba Ye said.

"Everything is speculation." Fourth Master said, "Let's just pay more attention these few days."

Fourth master now considers eighth master as his own, otherwise he wouldn't have come to tell eighth master the news immediately.

For princes like him and Ba Ye who have been in the court for several years, many of them are officials in other places.The reason why he asked Ba Ye to pay attention was also to remind Ba Ye to give some air to the people under his door, so as not to hit this critical point and cause trouble.

"Thank you, brother four, for reminding me!" Eighth Master said gratefully.

Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "I'm guessing in confusion, maybe nothing happened."

"Anyway, it makes me happy that fourth brother is the first to think of me." Ba Ye laughed.

Fourth Master smiled slightly, and said: "Let's go, it's getting late, we should go to Huang Ama's side too."

"Yes." Eighth Master nodded, and went out with Fourth Master.

The news that the fourth master can find out here will naturally be known by the prince's side.

"What does Huang Ama mean?" The prince frowned.He always felt that this southern tour was a bit unusual.

I still remember that during the last tour to the south, he was left by Huang Ama to supervise the country.Not only did he come out this time, but only an unusable youngest was left in the capital, which is really puzzling.And they came from several states and counties that were seriously affected by the disaster last year.

I remember that at that time, he and Lao Ba came here to investigate the matter of collusion and corruption in the officialdom.It was true that a lot of people were found out at that time, but it wasn't really a thorough investigation. Did Lao Ba know that he didn't know, but he knew it in his heart.And does the one who is high above know it too?I didn't think about it, but now I can't help but doubt it.

This trip to Beijing to inspect, whether it is the river engineering or the governance of several counties, Huang Ama showed satisfaction.But if you are really satisfied, why send people out secretly?
A gleam of coldness flashed in the prince's eyes, and he said to Xiao Chongzi who was standing beside him: "Change clothes for Gu, Gu wants to greet Huang Ama."

"Yes, the servant is going to get the clothes." Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly said.

At the gate of Biezhuang, fourth master, eighth master and the prince met.

"Where are the fourth and eighth brothers making an appointment?" the prince laughed.

"My brother has met the crown prince, we are going to pay respects to Huang Ama." Fourth master said.

"Second brother, too? We just happen to be together!" Eighth Master said with a smile.

"Well, together." The prince nodded.

The three of them went to Kangxi together.

"You two also met?" the prince asked.

"Yeah, it's a coincidence." Ba Ye said with a smile.

"It's windy and rainy today, Gu thought you didn't want to go out." The prince said.

In fact, Kangxi did not ask them to go there today.It is not necessary to follow Kangxi every day when going out on the southern tour.Some occasions require them to show up, and when there is nothing to do, they can also arrange their own time.

Such as today's weather is.Kangxi didn't know how to go out, so he didn't ask his sons to serve him by his side.

"There's nothing wrong with the left and right, I was thinking to see if Huang Ama needs help with anything." Fourth Master said calmly.

"Fourth brother is too hardworking." The prince said with a smile, "I don't want to spend more time with Fujin in this weather."

"Isn't the second brother the same?" Fourth master said.

"It's just that the sky suddenly became cold again, and I'm worried about Huang Ama's body." The prince said.In the name of filial piety, it's hard for people to say anything.

Ba Ye followed behind the two of them, keeping silent.He really disliked the prince's questioning.
