Chapter 105 Where is the most capable official in the world?
Cough cough cough cough.
Kangxisheng was choked by saliva and coughed bitterly.
In his heart, he kept cursing his rebellious son: If you want to pamper your brother, then pamper him. But what's the point of stuffing women into my imperial mausoleum?
Even though he was about to cough out his lungs, he couldn't scold the fourth brother, for fear of exposing the fact that he could hear the eighteenth brother's inner thoughts. He had to force a smile to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm just moved by your thirteenth brother."
"It's hard to believe that he is willing to temporarily leave the prosperous capital and travel thousands of miles to help me share my worries and relieve my burdens."
Thirteen, who knew the truth, burst into tears: "Ah, you are too kind. This is what a son should do."
But after what my eighteenth brother said just now, I'm sure that no matter what, you don't want your son to be with the fourth brother, right?
After all, the emperor is far away.
Even if the truth is revealed, the former emperor and the executive vice emperor should not have too close contact with each other.
just in case……
Whether they have the integrity and whether the Khan and the Crown Prince can guard against it involves their professional qualities.
Ugh!
Thirteen sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, Kangxi chuckled and said, "It's good that you have this intention, but once your fourth brother leaves, the burden of the Ministry of Revenue will fall on you. If you leave again, won't I be at a loss?"
The reason was so far-fetched that Yinzhen was shocked: "Really? I don't believe it! Even if Fourth Brother was here, he would only work in the Ministry of Revenue, not directly manage the entire Ministry of Revenue! How can he be so indispensable? What about the Minister of Revenue Zhang Penghe? Isn't he the Khan's confidant and beloved minister? Isn't he the most capable official in the world appointed by the emperor himself? ]
Kangxi's heart skipped a beat, fearing that he would reveal more negative information about Zhang Penghe.
First, his uncle Tong Guowei was a member of the Eighth Prince's party, then there was Ma Qi's treason, Tuoheqi's mobilization of people for the crown prince, and Longkodo's flirting with the fourth prince...
God has mercy on him. Initially, Kangxi broke the convention and allowed the eight-year-old kid to go to court with him in order to use him as a touchstone.
Look at all the civil and military officials in the court, who are loyal, who are treacherous, and who can be used.
Now?
Kangxi was a little scared, fearing that once his inner thoughts were revealed, the hidden face of this old minister would be exposed.
If he yells at him a few more times, the entire court will be empty.
But since it concerned the country, he did not dare to interrupt, for fear of missing out on a big termite and causing the entire Qing Dynasty to suffer.
Prince Zhu had similar ideas to his.
There was a strong sense of fear in the joy.
But this did not stop Yinzhen from secretly enjoying himself: [Zhang Penghe was also an interesting person. It is said that he went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors and passed by the Zhang Fei Temple in Yunyang. His followers asked him if he wanted to pay homage to the emperor. He was famous for his integrity and felt that there was nothing to ask for. So he laughed it off and said that it was better to pay homage to the prime minister than to the general.]
[Tsk, tsk, this is getting interesting! For three days in a row, his boat retreated thirty miles and returned to the Zhang Fei Temple. Good fellow, no matter how hard he tried, he would not fight against supernatural powers. If he really encountered one, he could only burn incense and continue to move forward.]
Kangxi and the princes: ...
If they had heard this story in the past, they would have certainly scoffed at it.
But now, with Xiao Shiba's voice and the shaman who leaked the secret and died, they no longer have any determination.
Kangxi even felt that Zhang Penghe had passed the double test of Zhang Fei and his own little Eighteen, and could be given an important position.
So he ordered the Thirteenth Prince to stay in the capital, and asked the Minister of Revenue Zhang Penghe to assist the Forty-ninth and Forty-ninth Princes.
Before Thirteen could even begin to salute, Yinzhen's inner voice exploded: "Ahhhhh! Letting Zhang Penghe investigate Galin, what's the difference between that and giving him a backdoor?"
Kangxi:! ! !
Where is the most capable official in the world?
The house collapsed as soon as you turned around?
The princes were also shocked by this super fast slap in the face.
Only Yinzhen was still tut-tutting: [Zhang Penghe was originally a good official, but he had his flaws. His son committed a serious crime and his life was in the hands of Galin. It happened that in the 48th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, there was cheating in the imperial examinations in Jiangnan. Emperor Kangxi sent Zhang Penghe and the Anhui Governor Liang Shixun to join the Liangjiang Governor Galin and the Jiangnan Governor Zhang Boxing in Yangzhou for a joint trial.]
[The case turned out to be simple, and it was quickly solved, but Galin was also exposed. Zhang Penghe was controlled by others and sided with Galin, so he planned to make a big deal out of a small matter and pick Galin out. Unexpectedly, Zhang Boxing refused to do so and directly wrote to Kangxi. As a result, the news leaked and was turned against him, and the two frontier officials attacked each other. Kangxi couldn't tell the truth from the false, so he sent Zhang Penghe to investigate.]
Good guys, all the princes are good guys.
What can this reveal?
I'm afraid that the only conclusion we can get is one that Zhang Boxing fabricated out of thin air.
Yinzhen's inner voice also confirmed this, and he said that although Zhang Boxing lacked ability, he was truly honest, even a little too honest.
Moving from Fujian to Jiangnan, a grand journey, only cost one or two taels of silver?
I don’t know whether he is a good money-saving expert or a good hype expert.
It's a huge mess.
He complained about everything he thought of, which made Kangxi and his son anxious. But they couldn't urge him, so they could only patiently tell him how Kangxi discovered Zhang Boxing and used him.
After listening to it once, he regarded him as a flag of honest officials in the world, but then personally removed the chess piece and admitted that he had excellent conduct but insufficient ability.
It was finally mentioned that after the first trial, Kangxi was extremely dissatisfied with the results presented.
Sent someone to investigate a second time.
As it happened, the person sent again, Mu Helun, was still Galin's close friend.
Kangxi:......
Very good, one case brought out several people who committed favoritism and fraud.
It seems that as an emperor, he can't find a loyal minister to serve the court. In the end, he met Galin's mother who came to pay respects to the empress dowager in Ningshou Palace. The old lady said that her son was greedy and Zhang Boxing was honest.
Only then was the wrongly accused Zhang Boxing reinstated and Galin dismissed from office.
Then Galin harbored a grudge and plotted to murder his own mother with his wife and adopted son. It was only when the old lady came to the door and complained that his greedy and sinful life ended.
[It's quite a joke, but it's recorded in the Qing History Draft, the Qing Veritable Records, and the Emperor Kangxi's Diary, so it should be true, right?]
Kangxi, who was still waiting to pass on the blame: …
Yinreng, who is accumulating internship experience and preparing to become a full-time employee in a dozen years: !!!
The case is simple, but the factions are quite complicated.
If he sent other officials, they would inevitably be corrupted and even threatened. So Yinreng thought it would be better to send one of his own.
Isn’t there a saying among the people that brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle?
Thinking of this, he coughed twice. "Although Zhang Penghe is capable, Galin is the fourth-generation grandson of He Heli, one of the five great founding heroes, and an outstanding figure of the Dong'e family. He has relatives and old friends all over the world, and there are many people who are willing to show some favoritism for him. I'm afraid Lord Zhang is not important enough."
"Oh? Then according to you..."
Kangxi responded smoothly, perfectly playing the role of an emperor who is good at accepting advice.
In fact, it is known that Zhang Penghe would be partial to his own interests, so he certainly would not send him to do that useless work!
The princes knew it very well, but they did not say it out loud.
They all just watched quietly until the prince suddenly dropped a bombshell.
