"It's really hard to deal with!"

After Ma De left, the murderous aura on Kangxi's face disappeared immediately, and what arose was a look called fatigue. Then, he shook his head and sat back on his seat.

"If the emperor feels tired, go and rest first..." Zhang Tingyu looked at him like this and said quickly.

"Rest? Alas..." Kangxi sighed with a wry smile, "Tingyu, can I rest well? I don't want me to have a quiet life!"

"I am guilty!" Zhang Tingyu bowed and said.

"Okay. Tingyu, you don't have to always take things into consideration. It's not your business." Kangxi waved his hand gently and shook his head and said.

"Then you, yourselves..." Zhang Tingyu wanted to speak but stopped.

"Tingyu, do you think I did too much just now? Gao Shiqi, Ma Qi and Ma De are all important officials of me, but I didn't even give me a chance to defend myself and just threw them into prison. Isn't it a bit too unkind?" Kangxi ignored what Zhang Tingyu wanted to say and just asked on his own.

"I don't dare!" Zhang Tingyu replied hurriedly.

"Don't dare?" Kangxi smiled casually, "It's not that you dare not think, it's just that you dare not say it in front of me!"

"Emperor..." Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but bend his waist down a little lowered when he heard Kangxi's words.

"What are you afraid of? I have already locked up two ministers in the study room and will not lock up the third one anymore. Otherwise, can I have to do everything myself?" Kangxi looked at Zhang Tingyu's somewhat shrunk look, smiled slightly, and said.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Tingyu bowed and replied.

"Be kind? I am so kind, but everyone thought I was easy to bully. When I first succeeded to the throne, I was oppressed by Oboi, and later fought with the Three Feudalists for the world and conquered Galdan again... I became more severe a few years ago, making it difficult for everyone to do, so I wanted to be more tolerant in the days that followed. Seeing that all officials were too low and their lives were not very good, they allowed them to borrow money from the treasury, but they all regarded me as a sucker!" Kangxi sighed.

"Please calm down!" Zhang Tingyu said hurriedly.

"Stop your anger? Haha, I'm not angry! It's not worth being angry with these people!..." Kangxi waved his hand and asked Zhang Tingyu again: "Tingyu, do you know what I think about the deficit of clearing the national treasury this time?"

"I dare not speculate on the holy intention!" Zhang Tingyu replied.

"I dare not speculate? Haha, then I ask you, how do you view this matter?" Kangxi asked.

"Report to the emperor, I think this matter has advantages and disadvantages!" Zhang Tingyu replied.

"It's too general!" Kangxi said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Report to the emperor, I think that the Crown Prince's order to clear the treasury this time will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, which is a disadvantage; however, this matter is inevitable! Moreover, once completed, it can alleviate the urgent needs of the country's money and food, which is a benefit!" Zhang Tingyu replied again.

"Haha, it seems I've made a mistake!" Kangxi looked at Zhang Tingyu with a smile, "I should put your Zhang Tingyu in prison and release your horses! At least, he can say a few more words to me!"

"Emperor, although my words are simple, they are the truth. If you say more or less, they are actually the same!" Zhang Tingyu replied.

"Yes!" Kangxi sighed again, "The situation in the court is turbulent, but it is inevitable! It really makes me feel embarrassed!"

"The emperor has made some choices, so why bother to feel embarrassed?" Zhang Tingyu bowed and said.

"How can everything be so easy? The treasury was borrowed all of them! Do you know, Tingyu? I really couldn't imagine it! I didn't expect that the officials in the world were so poor. I had to put the whole world into my own pocket before I could stop. The good things done by the Ministry of Revenue, they managed the treasury for me, and they really managed it well!..." Kangxi smiled a little angrily.

"..." Seeing Kangxi vent his anger, Zhang Tingyu did not interrupt again.

"Tingyu, do you know why I locked up Gao Shiqi and Ma Qi?" After gritting my teeth and laughing for a while, Kangxi asked Zhang Tingyu again.

"The emperor blamed them for not reporting the information, which caused the national treasury to such a deficit!" Zhang Tingyu replied.

"Yes, there is a reason. However, I will not demote them to prisoners under the ranks because of this matter. The national treasury is deficient, and almost all officials in the world borrow money. Such a big thing, not to mention that they are not in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, they may not be able to make things clear. It is really clear that once they report this matter, they will become thorns in the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court and thorns in the flesh. Even I dare not act rashly in such matters, let alone them?" Kangxi shook his head and said.

"The emperor detained them for..." Zhang Tingyu asked with his hands bowed.

"Hmph, I dare not act hastily, but Yinreng ordered Yinzhen and Yinsi to take responsibility. I was afraid that these two brothers would not be able to hold on, so I simply confused!" Kangxi sighed.

"Does the emperor want to use the detention of Gao Shiqi and Ma Qi to declare his determination to clear the treasury?" Zhang Tingyu asked.

"That's right. Although Yinreng has decided on this matter, the court must still argue endlessly. Yinzhen and Yinsi may still be unable to make up their minds. Maybe the people they sent to find me are already on the way. Unfortunately, there is no need to discuss this matter! I just want to use the matter of cleaning up the treasury and see if my two sons can accomplish anything!" Kangxi said solemnly.

"I am foolish, why did you, Ma De, imprison together? If you do something in the court, the governors and governors from all over the country naturally have to clean up the vassal treasury. Although the Wei minister is not familiar with Ma De, he will inevitably spare no effort in this matter because of his character. Will the emperor lock him up to fulfill those officials who are ill-behaved?" Zhang Tingyu asked again. He was neither interested in taking care of the prince's party disputes, nor could he have any control at all, so he pretended that he had not heard Kangxi's voice over just now.

"Hmph, you're thinking too simple! If Ma De was responsible for cleaning up the vassal treasury in Jiangnan, he had to clear the three provinces into chaos! Have you forgotten what he did when he took over as the governor of Anhui? He actually threatened officials in a province. Humph, I have never heard of such a governor for thousands of years! To clear up the deficits, the court will be in chaos, and Jiangnan can no longer be in chaos!" Kangxi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your frankness. Apart from Ma De, there is probably no one in Jiangnan who can clear the deficits of the vassal treasury!" Zhang Tingyu said again.

"I know this is difficult. However, I cannot increase Ma De's arrogance. In the long run, the disagreement between Jiangnan is not a blessing for the court! Jiangsu is not Anhui after all, the people in Anhui are brave, but Jiangsu is full of gentry. Which of the people here has no background? Among them, there are countless people who are well-known in their hands and eyes, but they are not that honest! Ma De can suppress Anhui but not necessarily suppress here." Kangxi said.

"The emperor is far-sighted! However, yourselves, after you have locked up Ma De, who will leave the Jiangnan Fanku to clean up?" Zhang Tingyu asked again.

"Anhui has been handed over to Yinzhen to handle it. You can draft the order for the remaining two provinces and hand it over to Yuheng in Jiangxi. As for Jiangsu, Zhang Boxing will probably be around. Then I will hand it over to him!" Kangxi replied.

"I obey the order!" Zhang Tingyu bowed and replied.

"Okay, you should also step back. Go and see Gao Shiqi and the others, don't let those people below be humble in my thighs!" Kangxi said again.

"I obey the order! But, the emperor, I have one more thing..." Zhang Tingyu said again.

"What's the matter?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Zhang Tingyu asked.

"Yu Zhong?" Kangxi was stunned.

"That's right! The emperor, Yu Zhong and Ma De are as close as brothers. They have not seen each other for several years. This time he went south with him. He is probably waiting to meet with Ma De. If you locked up Ma De, how should I tell you about this to Yu Zhong?" Zhang Tingyu asked again.

"You can do this by yourself!" Kangxi waved his hand and said casually. How could he have a special order for such a small matter?

"I obey the order!" Zhang Tingyu bowed and retreated.

...

Not to mention the appearances that Kangxi did after hearing about the deficit of clearing the national treasury in Jiangning Prefecture, far away in Beijing, the eldest prince Yinzhen and the eighth prince Yinsi were also frowning at this moment for the sudden powerful move of the crown prince.

Since the prince's prince caused such a big trouble, the Zhi County Prince's Mansion and the Babeile Mansion have been crowded, and officials coming and going every day can be said to be endless. However, this phenomenon that could have made Yinzhen, Yinsi and others happy made them feel more and more numb.

"We really underestimated the prince and his gang. I didn't expect that they could do such a move." The ninth prince Yinzhen has always been Yinsi's best friend. He usually considers himself very much, but now he can only say some irrelevant words, which is really frustrating.

"Or why don't we just quit this matter! Why do we have to be unable to make it with ourselves? Let the prince and his group do this offensive work by themselves!" I shouted the tenth prince Yinzhen.

"Why is that easy? Since the prince and his gang have made plans, we will not let us refuse! They are now the governor! They hold great power, what can you do? This move is a serious open conspiracy, and we have to do it even if we don't do it!" Yinzhen rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head and said.

"So what about the regent? I just don't do it. Could it be that he can still eat us?" I said dissatisfied.

"Hmph! I don't know the depth! If you don't do it, he will ask others to do it! The only one who suffers will be our own people!" Yinzhen said unhappily.

"Why are we the ones who suffer the loss? Whoever does this offensive job will be unlucky! Besides, who is willing to do it? They are not fools." Yin Yi retorted.

"Brother means that if we can't hold on to this matter, the prince will force A Ling, Kuixu, Wang Hongxu, Xu Qianxu and others to do it. They are just ministers, but they don't have your background. Whether they want to do it or not, the prince will have no choice after decree. At that time, if they do well and offend people, we will have no choice. At that time, if we do well, we offend people, where can we escape? If we don't do well, the prince will take the opportunity to rectify our confidants, and we will lose it!... This is also the meaning of the big brother's conspiracy. The prince has no worries that we don't take on this job." Yinsi clapped the folding fan in his hand and said depressedly.

"Mom!" After listening to Yinsi's explanation, I angrily smashed the table next to me, but I didn't say anything anymore.

"The key is that if we flee without fighting, how should the Emperor Ama explain? In the past two years, the prince has done a few stupid things, and the emperor must have disliked him, so we can always compete with him. However, if we don't do it well this time, we will definitely not be able to reach the Emperor Ama's eyes. The advantages we have accumulated have to be lost again. He is the prince, and he is born with a higher status than us. If we don't have any advantages, how can we fight with him?" Yinzhen said again.

"But if we offend officials in the world, we can't continue to fight with the prince!" Yinzhen said with a wry smile again.

"master!"

Just when Yinzhen and Brother Yinsi were struggling to imagine a countermeasure, Yinsi's housekeeper suddenly broke in, looking anxious.

"What's so urgent? I don't even understand the rules?" Yinsi looked at the butler with a frown and said unhappily.

"Master, the prince is here! Come here soon!" the housekeeper replied with a bitter face.

"What?" Yinzhi jumped up suddenly, "What are he doing?"

"Hmph, I think he wants to see our joke!" Yinzhen said in a dark voice.

...

"Hahaha, I said I couldn't find my elder brother at Zhiwang Mansion. It turned out that I was here with the eighth brother. Oh, Lao Jiu, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu, you are here too! Okay, brothers gather together, they didn't even call me. This is too shameful, right?" Yinreng came, followed Ling Pu and Qi Liang, and he was full of spring breeze.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!" If you don't agree, the crown prince will still be the crown prince after all. When Yinzhen, Yinsi and others saw Yinreng, they still had to perform the courtesy of their ministers.

"Oh, they are all brothers, don't be so polite. Everyone is exempt from gifts!" Yinreng laughed twice, and said it nicely, but he still stood there waiting for Yinzhen and others to finish the gifts.

"Second brother is so excited! You are the crown prince of the governor, and the emperor is responsible for the important task. Why do you have free time to come out for a walk? Are you not afraid of someone saying you don't do serious things?" Looking at Yinreng's smug smile, I asked lukewarmly.

"Old Shi, you said something bad. Although I am a ruling country, I am also your second brother. Is it wrong to come here to see all the brothers? If anyone dares to gossip, I have to punish him for provoking the friendship between the Tian family!" Yinreng said with a smile.

"Second brother is what you said! I knew someone was chewing on our brother's tongue. Second brother, you are the prince, but you have to vent your anger for our brothers!" Yin Yi smiled "hehe" and said.

"Oh?" Yinreng rolled his eyes and smiled, "Old Stealth, what do you want to make trouble for? Did someone offend you? Do you want your second brother to vent your anger? It's not that the second brother said you, you have to be more restrained. The Emperor Ama pampers you, but you can't always cause trouble for the Emperor Ama!"

"I..." Yinzhi I wanted to take advantage of Yinreng's words to give him some eye drops, but I didn't expect that Yinreng was not fooled, but instead used his strength to attack him, and he scolded him in a serious manner, and immediately became a little angry.

"Haha, Lao Tzu is the only temper. Sometimes he doesn't know the importance of doing things. Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about him." Yinsi's face was smiling and he inserted between Yinren and me, and made a "please" gesture, "Your Highness the Crown Prince can come to my house, it's really shining. Please take a seat!"

"It's easy to say, you're the eighth brother, you can talk!" Yinreng laughed proudly and sat down with Yinsi's guidance. Several other princes also followed him to re-list. However, as soon as Ling Pu and Qiliang were about to sit down, I stretched out my arms to block them: "We brothers are here, how can you sit?"

"Haha, Lao Shi, you are really good at joking. This is not your Beizi Mansion, and you don't count!" Yinreng saw Yinzhi like this, and a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and then he said with a smile.

"Isn't my family the only one in my family?" Yin Zhi grabbed my neck and didn't take back his arms.

"Oh, you, the tenth brother, are still the stubborn temper when you were a child. The eighth brother, my second brother doesn't work, it depends on you!" Yinreng pretended to sigh, turned to Yinsi and said.

"Haha, don't blame the prince, the tenth brother is just a joke!" Yinsi laughed dryly and signaled Yinyi to take away his arm and let Ling Pu and Qiliang sit down, but Yinyi just didn't listen, as if he didn't force Ling Pu, Qiliang was "stand guard" next to him and would not give up.

"Haha, it seems that our son-in-law is indeed the character of Monkey King. No one can control it!" The scene was a little awkward, and Yinreng pretended to smile.

"Crown Prince, don't blame Lao Shi," Yinzhen laughed dryly, glanced at Ling Pu and Qi Liang again, and said, "The two slaves are indeed not qualified to sit with their master. Lao Shi is also for the Tian family's moral integrity, do you think?"
