Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 946
On the second day after Ba Ye returned to Beijing, he entered the palace to meet Kangxi.

There was no morning court today, and in the Qianqing Palace, the crown prince was reviewing the memorials with Kangxi.

"I've seen Huang Ama and His Highness the Crown Prince." Eighth Master saluted.

"Pingshen." Kangxi looked at him with a smile on his face, and said, "You have worked hard on this errand. Did you encounter heavy snow when you came back yesterday?"

"Yeah. It was snowing when I entered Beijing." Ba Ye replied with a smile, "Hongwang laughed at Erchen yesterday, saying that Erchen has become a snowman."

"It's not freezing, is it?" Kangxi asked with concern.

"Thank you Huang Ama for your concern. My son is fine." Ba Ye said.

Kangxi nodded, and then asked about the errand.Eighth Master recounted the draft that he had thought up a long time ago.

"Has the preparatory work for the reservoir construction been done?" Kangxi asked.

"It's all ready. The construction can only start after the spring of next year." Eighth Master replied.

"Is there no problem with the acceptance of the river embankment?" Kangxi asked again.

"Yes. Both Erchen and Fuling have seen it." Ba Ye said.

Kangxi nodded again, "As long as there is no problem. When the reservoir is repaired in the spring of the next year, it's up to you and Fuling."

"Yes." Eighth Master was already mentally prepared.Since the matter is only half done, there is no reason to replace the remaining half.After all, he and Fu Ling'a are the most familiar with the early work.

The prince had been listening by the side all the time, and only now did he speak: "Eighth brother did a good job as a river worker for the first time. He is really good. Next year's reservoir project will definitely be fine."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised me, but I don't dare to be my younger brother." Ba Ye hurriedly said modestly.The prince's seemingly praiseworthy words always sounded wrong to him.

"Prince, Lao Ba's ability is really good. I can be your right and left hand in the future." Kangxi laughed.

The prince smiled and said: "Yes, the eighth brother is indeed very capable. There will be many places where I will need him in the future."

"But according to second brother's orders." Eighth Master also smiled gently.

"I'm not too young now, this country will belong to you sooner or later. You brothers need to support each other to keep my Daqing country stable. Just like me and your third uncle."

"What Huang Ama said is true. It is difficult for me to support such a big country alone. I still have to rely on the support of my brothers and sisters." The prince said very humbly.

Kangxi was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and the smile on his face was a little bit bigger.

Ba Ye also kept a smile on his face, but his eyes were indifferent.This kind of drama will be staged every time, and I don't know who can be fooled?
When Ba Ye came out from Qianqing Palace, the crown prince also quit.

"Eighth brother, come sit with Gu?"

"Thank you for the invitation, second brother. I want to visit Erniang's." Eighth Master declined.

"Ah, yes. You've been away for so long, it's time to see Concubine Liang." The crown prince nodded, and then said: "Why don't you come to Gu here for a drink tomorrow. Our brothers haven't been together for a long time. Let the elder brother and the fourth younger brother They all called."

"Second brother, you should know what happened in my house. I really don't have the mood to drink these few days." Eighth Master said.

"Ah? What's the matter?" The prince looked surprised.

"It's about the death of my second elder brother." Ba Ye said.

"Oh, yes. I heard about it." The prince nodded, patted Ba Ye on the shoulder and said, "We brothers have all experienced this kind of thing. Don't be sad. Instead of being immersed in such sad emotions , It is better to have two more children."

"Yeah. I know. After I pass this time, I'll treat my second brother to drink." Eighth Master forced a smile.

"Alright. Then you go first. Let's meet another day." The prince didn't insist.

Watching the prince leave, Ba Ye's face darkened.He didn't believe that the prince didn't know the situation in his mansion.But the prince told him to drink, which made him have to mention Hongdun's death again.

Besides, Hong Dun did not simply die young, but also involved some privacy measures.Although Mao Tongtong has always been secretly investigating, it is true that a eunuch died in the mansion, and some rumors will always leak out.

The prince might still be joking about the management problems in his mansion, or he even knows who is behind the scenes!

"Master Baylor, it's getting late." Chen Guo reminded from the side.

Ba Ye withdrew his thoughts and walked towards Chuxiu Palace.

At Concubine Liang, the matter of Hong Dun was mentioned again.

"If you were in the capital, this child might not have gone!" Concubine Liang said, "You said that this Mao family is also. You are not in the mansion, and she still stays out at night!"

After all, Concubine Liang still blames Mao Tongtong in her heart.

"Emiang, this matter is not simple, even if the minister is in Beijing, the result will be the same." Ba Ye said.

"Are you blaming me for saying Mao's?" Concubine Liang said.

"My son didn't mean that." Ba Ye hurriedly said, "No one wants such a thing to happen. Er Niang was sad, and so was Tong Tong. Although Hong Dun was not her own, she often stayed with Hong Dun in her courtyard." Together with Wang, I also watched the children grow up. Er Niang, the most important thing now is to find out the murderer who killed Hong Dun."

"That's right! Er Niang knows it too! But it's been so long, and the Mao family hasn't found anything!" Concubine Liang said in a bad tone, "Now even if you come to investigate, it's hard to find anything."

"Emiang, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how long it takes, I will never give up." Ba Ye said.

"Eighth elder brother, you have been married for several years now, and you have only two sons under your knees. Now that one has died, you should spread your branches and leaves!" Concubine Liang said earnestly: "Emiang knows that you like Mao She saved your life back then, and gave birth to Hongwang for you. You doted on her, but Er Niang didn’t say anything. But you can’t disregard your own children just because you dote on her! She can’t have children, you can let her In other life, love her forever!"

Ba Ye was startled, he didn't expect Concubine Liang to suddenly mention this matter.In fact, before Tong Jia's and Fang Ruoyun's entry into the mansion, it was Liang Concubine's veiled hint.But Ba Ye kept pretending to be confused.In addition, there was Hong Dun before, and the Guo Luoluo family had also given birth, so Concubine Liang didn't urge her too much.But now that there is only Hongwang left, Concubine Liang is naturally anxious.

"Emiang, I know." In the end, Eighth Master said this dryly.

"Don't take it for granted." Concubine Liang said, "It's not easy to stop a child. Other people's houses are full of people, but Er Niang doesn't want to see your house deserted. If Mrs. Mao is sensible, she should take the initiative to give it to you. Zhang Luo! Now she is the housekeeper, and this is also one of her responsibilities!"

Ba Ye knew that he couldn't say anything against Concubine Liang at this time, it would only make Concubine Liang even more dissatisfied with Mao Tongtong, so he quickly responded: "Emiang, don't worry, I know it well."

"You're an adult now, and you're Baylor too. It's inconvenient for Er Niang to say too much. Since you said you know what's on your mind, Er Niang will stop talking and just wait to see the result." Concubine Liang said.

　The rest of the updates are in the evening.
