Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united
Chapter 23 Speaking of which, if there had been no money, the Qing-Zhun war wouldn't have laste
These cold words, this blatant threat.
Even the 12th prince couldn't stand it: "Ah, look at my fourth brother. He compares his son to my tenth brother like a chicken!"
"What about killing the monkey to scare the chicken?"
"you……"
"What about me? Instead of blaming your elder brother for being cruel, you should reflect on yourself. Khan Ama has been very concerned about us brothers, and he has given each of us a settlement fee of 220,000 taels. If you hadn't been so extravagant, you wouldn't have had to borrow money from the treasury."
Kangxi agreed with this statement.
He immediately asked Yinlu where all the money had gone and why he had fallen to the point of borrowing money from the national treasury?
Yinlu didn't want to say it, but Kangxi would not let him evade the question.
There was no way to avoid it, so I had to confess and get leniency.
Raised by Su Malagu, a devout Buddhist, he had no ambition to succeed the throne. He only wanted to live a good life, so he couldn't save money on the construction of the mansion and the furnishings!
He came from a humble background, but his wife was the jewel in the Fucha family.
The Fucha family had been devoted followers of Emperor Taizu since his time, and had made many military achievements. Fu Jin's great-grandfather, Hashun, had served as a minister of state affairs and was granted the title of first-class duke. His grandfather, Mi Sihan, was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. When the emperor intended to abolish the Three Feudatories, he was one of the few supporters.
When it comes to Fu Jin's father's generation, it's even more amazing. There are four brothers, and each of them holds an important position.
The eldest uncle Maska was the Minister of the Imperial Guards, and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace of Amamaqi was granted the plaque of Yongshiyi by the emperor. The third uncle Mawu was the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Han Army of the Bordered White Banner, and the fourth uncle Li Rongbao was the General Manager of Chahar...
Twelve said a lot of random things, but in short, "It's already unfair enough for Fu Jin to be betrothed to me. I can't let her suffer any more in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses."
Most of the 220,000 was spent on building the mansion and household expenses.
He is not the kind of person who forgets his mother after getting married. He has to be filial to his biological mother, concubine Wan Liuha, and he cannot ignore his mother Su Mala who raised him.
In addition, there are the favors of wishing the emperor's father a long life, the empress dowager a long life, and the brothers getting married and having children.
Before you know it, you're short of money and have to borrow money.
As the second most noble prince, the Tenth Prince never thought that he was unworthy of anyone.
But just because of his good family background, he was used to fine clothes and delicious food since childhood, and whatever he needed, he would always have his imperial concubine mother and his first-class uncle to provide for him.
Unfortunately, Concubine Wenxi died young, and the head of the First-class Mansion was changed. Although Alinga was also his uncle, he was from a different mother than his mother, and there were even some old grudges. Without saying a word, he stopped supporting him. Wouldn't the rich old man be unable to make ends meet?
Kangxi's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't want to look at these two annoying things any longer.
Yinzhen felt more and more that these were two good monkeys.
Of course, Yinxuan had no idea what was happening in Zhaoren Hall. After practicing riding and shooting for a while, he finished his homework while cursing. He quickly washed up and couldn't wait to meet Duke Zhou.
Then, when he was having a deep sleep, he was woken up again and dragged to attend the court by his second brother, the Crown Prince.
I was so sleepy in my own little chair.
Until he heard his fourth brother's memorial, which severely criticized his tenth and twelfth brothers. He said that as princes, they did not think about sharing the worries of the emperor and father, and serving the court wholeheartedly. Instead, they borrowed money from the national treasury and made bad influences.
Suddenly, all the sleepiness disappeared.
Yinxuan quickly sat up straight and ate the melon on the spot.
While eating, I was so happy that I sang in my heart: [When I see injustice, I shout, when it’s time to take action, I take action, you have it, I have it all~ Hey, yeah! You have it, I have it all~]
The devilish sound pierced through his brain and was deafening, almost taking Kangxi and the other princes away.
Kangxi endured the buzzing in his head, grabbed Zhen Shanhe from the imperial desk and slapped him hard: "Asshole, how dare you!"
With the emperor so furious, how could Yinzhen have time to sing?
I quickly raised my head and secretly glanced at Kangxi's face: [Ah, Kangxi's father's face is as red as the bottom of a pot! He looks very angry. But it's no wonder, although he favors the crown prince the most, he also likes other sons. He usually emphasizes that the princes should be friendly and respectful to each other, but they end up attacking each other in the court...]
[Tsk, it would be strange if the father didn’t get angry!]
[But I don't blame my fourth brother, I blame Kangxi. No matter how much you love your reputation, you can't borrow out all the national reserves, right? If you don't collect the debt now, will Tsewang Arabtan rebel and the court use the IOU to suppress the rebels? Speaking of which, if there was no money, the Qing-Zungarian War wouldn't have lasted for a hundred years...]
How much money and food would be wasted, how many soldiers would be lost, and how much national strength would be consumed in the hundred-year war?
Could it be that because of this, the Qing Dynasty went from bad to worse and finally ended up in humiliation and destruction?
Kangxi and the other princes were all startled, and their resolve became firm instantly.
The Tenth and Twelve, who had just been scolded, kowtowed loudly: "Ah, father, please calm down. I know I was wrong."
"Oh?"
Kangxi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You know you are wrong? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Yin was stuck and quickly looked at Twelve with expectant eyes.
Yinlu: ...
I am tired and speechless, but I still have to do this self-examination: "Khan Ama is kind-hearted and treats his sons equally in the establishment of the government. All the brothers can live in harmony, but my son has fallen to the point of borrowing money from the treasury. It is because my son is too extravagant and not good at managing the household."
"Also, allowing the court officials to borrow money from the treasury is a gesture of compassion from Khan Ama to his old ministers. It is truly a benevolent heart that is unprecedented in history. The court officials are also grateful for Khan Ama's kindness. They will not lend money unless they are in extreme distress, and they will pay it back quickly after borrowing."
[Oh, no? Those court officials all took advantage of Kangxi's father, and they didn't feel bad when their sons sold their father's land. They used the money to do all kinds of things, such as lavishly organizing weddings and funerals, taking concubines, bribing people to seek promotions, and even spending a fortune on courtesans.]
[They have already built it, why are they paying back? Haha. They only know how to cry about poverty and merit. They stripped off their clothes in the main hall to show Kangxi the injuries he had suffered and the merits he had made for the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, they would cry in the Imperial Ancestral Temple and Fengxian Hall. They would also make the big black pot for the fourth brother who forced the old minister to death...]
Got it!
Yinlu's sudden revelation completely interrupted Yinlu's rhythm and emotions.
The script of first suppressing and then praising is totally unsuccessful!
Twelve was helpless and could only say dryly that it was all his son's fault and asked Khan Ama to punish him.
Lao Shi took action and said, "I am the same."
But it doesn’t matter. Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, and he played Oboi and the Three Feudatories along the way. He is an experienced actor.
Just trying to smooth things over, I have the upper hand.
Kangxi sneered, "Knowingly committing a crime is aggravated. Come, drag these two evildoers out and give them thirty lashes to serve as a warning to others. From now on, Duoluo Beile Yinzhen will thoroughly investigate the debt of the Ministry of Revenue. Those who dare to pretend to be like this and blaspheme my kindness will be severely punished. Those who have a bad influence will be stripped of their titles, removed from their banners, dismissed from office, and their property confiscated, regardless of whether they are Manchu or Han!"
[What?]
