Chapter 172(1/2)
Once, a group of precious donkeys rushed past Yinreng. He did not cherish them, and he accidentally killed them.
If there is still a chance now, Yinreng vowed to take good care of the donkeys and try to make them work hard without eating grass.
The leader of the donkeys is his dearest third grandfather. Third grandfather has a bad reputation, so let him manage a good reputation for the third grandfather. With a good reputation, the third grandfather will not be bullied by others.
Yinreng smiled and said to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, it's like Suo Xiang said that building a nursery can raise orphans who have lost their parents, building a nursing home can promote filial piety, and being the saint's words mentioned in the words of the saints have a place to support the young and the elderly have a place to support them. Even the money, the court officials have already donated money. The Qing Dynasty is getting better and better. When it's the roadside outside, there are no refugees on the streets, and no one starves to death on the streets. That is the real peaceful and prosperous era!" And the young and strong Khan Ama who created this peaceful and prosperous era was his young and strong!
Yinzhen told Yinreng: The corruption in the court is full of corruption, and the bureaucratic style and filial piety that have formed over the past few decades have had a bad impact.
Xiaomei also told Yinreng: The money was money from the third grandfather’s subordinates who embezzled and bribed people’s wealth and omitted people’s money.
Not only did the third grandfather's subordinates embezzle and bribe, but other other party members united in the court, colluded with local officials, and exploited them at all levels were common. Purge of officials has been doing since ancient times. Everyone knew that this could not be eliminated, and everyone knew that this was necessary.
When this money comes to Yinreng, it cannot be returned as usual. Even if it is returned, the money will not be returned to the people.
Since this is the case, let’s put public welfare on the agenda and at least give back this part of the money to the public.
The emperor looked unpredictable and glanced at Yinreng with meaningful eyes, and said to Soetu: "Have you thought about the rules of this?"
Soetu was upright and steadfast and said without hesitation: "I have thought about it, and I have asked the cabinet for details."
Soetu, who was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, was strange, shocked the chins of the court officials, and even made the censors shut their mouths like mute.
In the minds of everyone, Soetu has always been strong in the court and never gives in to his words. These benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom have always been the work of the Han ministers. They are what the censors should say. Today, Sosan's brain is probably broken, and he actually learned the narration of the pure Han ministers. He finished everything everyone wanted to say. What do the others say?
Cabinet Grand Secretary Ledehon took a step forward and read out the memorial for the constitution written by Soetu.
The ministers whispered, Mingzhu's gangsters were in vain for a while, and everyone was in danger, so they could only rely on the eldest prince.
Yinzhi was thinking, because he stood close, his eyes accidentally met Yinreng in the air.
The prince was handsome and elegant, with a brilliant look in his smile, and there seemed to be a scene of lilies blooming behind him, which made Yinzhen slightly stunned.
Yinzhi: This smile seems flawless, but why does it feel like "the evil plan succeeds"?
Soetu would do this, I think it was for the prince, but was there any instructed by Khan Ama in doing this?
If Yinzhi didn't believe anything if it was just for good deeds, for filial piety, and for good deeds, as the reason Soetu said.
Yinzhi couldn't figure it out for a moment. He had never seen through Khan Ama. The emperor was like a towering mountain in his heart, awe-inspiring and afraid to spy on it. He could not be as naughty as the prince was as scrupulous as he was.
Between him and Khan Ama, the difference between the king and the minister is greater than the relationship between father and son, and all this comes from inner awe. Yinzhi first regarded Khan Ama as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and then regarded him as a strict father.
Sometimes, he really envied the prince for being able to get along with Khan Ama so freely, just like an ordinary father and son.
Yinzhi stared at Yinreng and thought deeply, wanting to see something from his smile: was it Khan Ama's instruction, or was it Bao Cheng's arm cut off?
No, he would not break his arms. The prince was much smarter than he thought and had a wider vision than he did. Soetu must have other intentions behind this.
Yinreng remained motionless. No matter how his elder brother looked, he could not see any flaws.
It is rare for someone from Qingliu in the court to stand up and discuss the proposal of seeking Etu.
Even Wang Xi and Wu Zhengzhi, who have always been disliked by Soetu, looked at Soetu, which was suspected to be damaged.
No matter what he did this, things were good, and the losses were also Soetu himself.
After the court meeting, Wang Xi and Wu Zhengzhi, two imperial court officials, and two major Han officials in the cabinet, came together to analyze the situation.
Wang Xi stroked his beard: "Suo San has suffered a great loss this time. If he can do this, it will definitely be a greater benefit."
Wu Zhengzhi had a rare humor and said to this person: "He can't really be unable to think about it and want to go through menopause."
Wang Xi guessed: "The emperor will never let His Highness the Crown Prince suffer a loss, and Soetu is also the Crown Prince's member."
The two old ministers looked at each other, and they became more and more sure that Soetu received Kangxi's order and performed a play in the court.
"Now, I'm afraid it's the peace and peace before the storm, it's very empty," Wu Zhengzhi smiled with his eyebrows and said, "The emperor is determined to be enterprising and is in his prime, and the future is promising!"
Wang Xi agreed and responded: "Let's wait, it won't take long to know what Suosan's move is."
Wu Zhengzhi: "It's better to let Zi Duan test it first."
Zi Duan refers to a Han minister who served as the position of Zuodu Censor after Yu Guozhu. He was also one of the pillars of the Qingliu in the court, Chen Tingjing.
On the other side, Kangxi called Yinreng away after the court meeting: "I saw you seeking back the money and thrift, and ordered the Yuqing Palace people not to waste extravagance. I finally became sensible and knew that I should not spend money. Who would have thought that you would not worship your own home, but instigated Soetu to do it!"
康熙气得哟,要不是孩子已经大了,再揍屁股不合适,他非得拎起来给一顿父爱如山的教育.
"Soetu is the connection you manage. It's not like this. What do you think of them as a matter of doing?" Kangxi never saw anyone as stupid as Yinreng, who kept stroking his own wool.
"Khan Ama, they made a mistake," Yinreng said with a smile: "If you make a mistake, you have to beat it. This is what you teach me. Jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved. My minister is carving jade!"
"…,” Kangxi was speechless for a while. After a long time, he said: "They embezzled and accepted bribes and respected you all the silver notes. You can tell me that it is better to let me deal with this matter than to waste the money."
"How is this a waste? Until now, the Qing Dynasty did not have the public welfare undertaking organized by the central court. Only good local officials are fighting alone and working hard. Doing this matter is beneficial to the national system and the national fortune. The silver notes are stored in the pockets of the ministers, and that is waste paper. Only when they are put into the people will they come alive." Yinreng blinked and raised his iconic lily smile together, which is elegant and elegant, without any dust, just like the glory of a saint in the world shining!
"If Khan Ama thinks that the son is right, then praise the son with a 'noble morality'!"
Kangxi pointed at him with a dark face and said hatefully: "I am still smiling with me and have noble morality. I am not ashamed to praise myself! I will be angry to death by you sooner or later."
Yinreng was helpless. He looked at the old father who was both father and mother, who pulled him up, and coaxed Kangxi and said, "You are not angry, don't pretend, right? Erchen has learned from you for so long, and he is no longer as stupid as a child. Erchen knows it."
Every time I saw Yinreng's "no desires and no desires" look like I was hanging high and I was still moving, Kangxi felt the tips of his fingers itchy.
Kangxi had a headache and had no choice but to do anything to him.
"What you do is related to state affairs. It seems that you are concerned about the Qing Dynasty. When you are about to do things, you retreat to the back and let others do it all, and give them all the benefits to others. What you do is very stupid. I understand in my heart, you are not stupid at all, you just like to pretend to be confused when you understand!"
Yinreng: "..."
He couldn't help but feel uneasy: No, right? No? This made Khan Ama discover. Did he guess that Gu wanted to be lazy and not work?
Xiaomei also shivered.
"I have trained you into an excellent heir, but in the end I found that you have no selfish desires except state affairs, power, wealth, and these ordinary people who are like swallows, you never care about them. Could it be that my prince is really a saint who was born without desire or demand?"
Kangxi muttered, and when he nagged, he was like an old mother who was worried about her son.
"In fact, I have selfish desires, and I have my own interests."
Kangxi counted: "I like investigating things, numerology, and raising ducks?"
Yinreng: "..."
"I'm telling you that Soetu is making a comment today!" Kangxi suddenly recalled.
Yinreng: If Gu said that Gu likes excitement, likes to play big things, and likes to watch court officials sing big shows, will Khan Ama go and grab Eunuch Liang's whisk again?
[Xiaomei calculated with her fingers. If my friend said it, her butt might bloom tonight.] "Khan Ama, it is more suitable for Erchen to hit them than to ask you to hit them. Erchen is grown up now and wants to share your worries. He doesn't want to keep holding you back all the time. He has to worry about Erchen while busy with state affairs. This is unfilial!"
When Yinreng spoke softly, he was very sincere. Looking at his bright eyes, he could feel his sincere heart. When the father and son were talking, the intimacy was difficult for ordinary people to interfere.
Kangxi's expression suddenly softened. He was still a little angry before, but it was exposed after a moment, and he softened it down. He said in disgust: "I have been worried about you for more than ten years, and now I know that this is unfilial? What did you do when I really make me worry and get angry? As you do, when will I feel at ease? I can't worry about it for a few more years."
Xiaomei praised it very much.
[Old friends are getting more and more capable of giving their father a hurdle!]
Before the emperor was moved for a moment, Yinreng continued: "My son feels that it is not enough for me to restrain them. There are other corrupt officials in the capital. This matter must be eliminated from the root. It is better to explicitly stipulate that 'forbid filial piety to superiors'. Those who violate the order will be severely punished and ordered the Inspectorate to supervise and provide a way to report. Although this may cause the possibility of false accusation and frame-up, the Inspectorate can further improve and verify the authenticity of the report..."
The prince's little mouth started again, as if this matter was so simple, what should be done, what should not be done, what might be the consequences, what the best idea was to be considered, and after all, he praised the emperor and said happily, "Khan Ama is a wise king, and he will definitely know people and take responsibility. Only a wise monarch like Khan Ama who is enterprising and trying to make a difference can do well. The ministers are not hiding behind, but they are too young and cannot do well, so they must learn with you."
"Amma Khan went to a southern tour and cleared the administration of the Yangtze River. Do you really don't plan to clear the administration of the capital together? The war has stopped, and the time is just right."
Look at these words, they are so light. The emperor is not him who is busy at that time.
"So you did this because you wanted to clear the government of the capital and cut off the filial piety?"
"My son does not want to be filial to the 'good intention' of the people below," Yinreng said: "The filial piety from plundering people's wealth and ointment is really hot to use. The filial pie from the conscience is so bloody and sweat here. It sucks the blood of the people, but it hurts the roots of the Qing Dynasty. Over time, the roots will rot."
Kangxi also hated the arrogant and domineering of corrupt officials. He told Yinreng earnestly: "Thunder means will shake the roots of the Qing Dynasty. The purging of the administration is not a dispute for a while, but for many years. Before you force someone to death, you must first think about whether they will be anxious or not."
Yinreng nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at the rice: "What Khan Ama said is that the son minister has no consideration."
Kangxi's desire for education arose, and he explained to Yinreng the root of the current trend of filial piety in the capital: "The officials in the capital, from the time of the late emperor, mainly Manchus and Han people as the auxiliary, have developed to this day. I have promoted nearly half of the Han officials. I want to open up a wide range of ideas, regardless of my background, recruiting talented people, princes, nobles, and families of the upper three banners are in marriage and gaining benefits. The number of people can deceive my eyes. The collusion between the capital and the local area is even more serious before my inspection. Now, regular inspections have led to the reduction of deception of superiors and subordinates. If the poor families want to stand out, there are many people like Yu Guozhu. I ordered that filial piety be prohibited, and that their financial path will be cut off and their opportunities for growth will be cut off. After all, my eyes cannot see the whole world."
Yinreng: "Yes, yes, there are officials who do not know how to do practical things but can write good articles when selecting the eight-legged imperial examinations. They are nepotism and call down the minor officials to do things, which also encourages the spirit of filial piety. To eliminate these and promote useful people, then increase the examinations. There is no need to be an official? You must be a ritual official, you must be a polite person, and you must be a financial official. You think 'performance appraisal' is a good word, Khan Ama understands it?"
Kangxi: "…"
I took the exam for all the students in the world and my brothers. I have added the imperial examination and now I want to take exams for officials again!
Kangxi was so sorry for his bad luck: "I think you can come up with any idea, why can't you pass the exam all day long? Bao Cheng, you should be more attentive!" It's not enough to offend all the students in the world, it's not enough to offend brothers, and it's still a big deal that all the court officials have to offend?
"Then you said, what other ways can help you select talents more intuitively? Only by conducting quantitative assessments with clear responsibilities and connecting salary with them is called performance, rewarding everyone with the best and punishing the worst, can we break free from the old method of nepotism and a good way to implement it in the long run."
Kangxi was silent for a long time, and felt that Yinreng was very reasonable. Looking at the overall situation, he also felt that the time was not ripe enough to do these things, which was too early.
"I'll talk about the assessment of officials later."
This is like cooking. The turbidity of the administration is like a dish that has not been washed before putting it in the pot. You have to clean it first before you can put it in the pot to cook and make delicious dishes.
The next day, at Wu Zhengzhi's instructions, Chen Tingjing handed over a memorial.
The memorial mentioned: Advocating frugality is a good way to make officials honest.
The poor are ridiculed by others in their work, and the rich are praised by others for their extravagance and waste. This will encourage the desires in people's hearts and make people pursue wealth for vanity. Once the door to desire is opened, it will encourage the atmosphere of corruption and seeking profits.
I requested the emperor to order the people of the world to be proud of frugality, be pragmatic as the basis, follow the law, and eliminate the bad atmosphere of pursuing interests.
This memorial expresses the voices of the innocent and honest officials in the court. Chen Tingjing is the one among the officials who is strict with themselves and keeps themselves upright.
Kangxi approved the letter from him and told the court: "From now on, we will advocate the style of diligence and thrift, return to simplicity and return to simplicity, and rectify the bad habit of pursuing fame and fortune."
To be continued...
