The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 58

Looking at the haggard and lonely Yinreng in front of him, Kangxi recalled the many memories of Yinreng's childhood, and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.Kangxi thought to himself that since Yinreng has already seen through right and wrong now, and just wants to be quiet, then let him do as he wishes.Zuo Yinfeng's current temperament and temperament can't challenge the Qing Dynasty. As for the other elder brothers, let's take a look and talk.

Kangxi's expression softened slightly, he waved his hands noncommittally, and ordered Yinfeng to step aside for the time being.Then he looked around at the elder brothers in the hall, and suddenly asked Yinzhen, who was frowning and thinking: "How does the fourth brother think about this matter? Do you also think that these corrupt officials are difficult to eradicate, and you can only let them corrupt the law?" , Favoritism and fraud, like moths gradually eating away at the land of the Qing Dynasty?"

Yinzhen never thought that Kangxi would ask his own opinion in front of all the brothers, so he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, then looked at Kangxi frankly, and expressed his opinion in a loud voice: "My son just learned about the case of the Jiangnan examination room at first. At that time, he was indeed very angry, and wished to immediately ask Huang Ama for orders, go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case, find out all the officials who accepted bribes and cheated for personal gain, and handed over to Huang Ama to reprimand and severely punish. However, the minister thought of Huang Ama In response to my son's warning, you should not rush and be patient in everything, and gradually calm down. After re-examining this case, I have a different idea."

"Oh? If the fourth brother has any unique insights, you might as well talk about it." Kangxi said slowly with a twinkle in his eyes.

Yinzhen carefully chose his words, and said cautiously: "Even if the official who committed the crime in the Jiangnan Examination Case was severely punished this time, it is impossible to completely prevent other officials from taking risks for money. The Qing Code severely punished illegal officials who took bribes, and at the same time, appropriately raised the salaries of officials, and gave officials who were honest and honest, and loved the people like sons and daughters a rich life. Compared with the two, it may be possible to get better results .”

Before Kangxi could speak, Yinzhen chuckled, "Fourth brother, your idea is too naive, isn't it? This person's heart is hard to satisfy. I think your idea can not only make the court Aside from wasting a lot of money, it is really useless in eradicating corrupt officials!"

Although Yinhu also hated Yinzhen very much, but he didn't want Yinzhen to target Yinzhen like this in front of Kangxi, so he immediately smiled and said: "Fourth brother, don't take offense, Lao Jiu has such a straightforward temper since he was a child. Maybe he often communicated with When dealing with merchants, I have seen too many people who are too penny-pinching and desperate to take risks, so I said such a thing. The old nine is just discussing the matter, and has no other intentions, please don't worry about it, fourth brother!"

Although Kangxi has always looked down on Yinhu, who loves to do business, but he is even more disliked by Yinhu, who is sleek and sophisticated. People still look at each other with disgust, even if they meet, they can't say a few words.

Because Kangxi looked down on Yinhu's behavior, he couldn't help but deliberately praised Yinzhen in front of Yinhu and said, "I think the fourth brother's idea is good. Although it is quite bold, it also has a certain reason. However, if you want to If this idea comes to fruition, it needs to be carefully considered. I have decided to entrust this case to you to investigate. You can go and investigate it freely. No matter who is involved in this case, you don’t need to shy away from it. You must relieve me of these cancers of the imperial court. !"

Yinzhen was overjoyed in his heart, but his face still had that cold, serious and unsmiling look on his face, and he said respectfully, "Please rest assured, Ama Huang, I will try my best to find out this case and relieve my worries for Ama Huang."

Kangxi glanced at the smiling Yinhu, and suddenly remembered that the first time he met Concubine Liang was in the plum grove in the imperial garden.Kangxi thought of Nian Xilan who said to him with a sad face yesterday: "Although plum blossoms are beautiful, they are also lonely flowers."

Thinking of the concubine Liang who was innocently implicated because he scolded and suppressed Yinhu in the court, and thinking of the diagnosis of the imperial physicians, she was terminally ill and time was running out, Kangxi suddenly sighed softly, and said to Yinhu: First of all, your mother's health is not very good recently, if you have time, bring Hongwang into the palace and spend more time with her."

Yinhu's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Kangxi in disbelief, then nodded with a smile, "I know, I will go to Changchun Palace to visit Erniang later."
