Beijing!

Outside the Ganqing Palace, Gao Shiqi was waiting for Kangxi's summons!

The eunuch had just entered, and he was not in a hurry. He occasionally looked up at the yellow glazed tiles on the roof and the double-eaved hip roof of the hall, or looked down at the white marble base at his feet, and then looked at the copper turtles, copper cranes, and sundials standing on the spacious platform in front of the hall, which seemed very relaxed.

That day, Mo Jing came to his house, and in his words, he hit his mind. Then he mentioned that Kangxi had something to hide from them, and as a result, he took advantage of his distracted verb, which made him lose his might. However, this was a trivial matter. With his understanding of Kangxi, since Kangxi had never talked about Mo Jing's private recruitment of Russian envoys in public, it was very likely that he would be covered up or to deal with it. However, this kind of disposal would never be to kill people or anything, because Kangxi gave people a crime and never hid it from those civil and military ministers, in order to give those ministers an impression of "justice". After all, when Kangxi seized power from Oboi, all civil and military officials had already been rude by Oboi's party, and he had no scruples. The act of killing ministers made everyone in danger. Kangxi did this just to allow all civil and military officials to eliminate the haze in his heart as soon as possible! Moreover, Mo Jing's crime seemed to be quite a big deal, but in fact it was just a little jumping in Kangxi's palm. Therefore, even if Kangxi wanted to judge her, it would not be fatal! However, this is just Gao Shiqi's own guess. Mo Jing is a woman after all. If a woman is too prominent, who knows what Kangxi would think? It is difficult for a person who likes to be arbitrary to accept that others do not do what he wants, let alone a woman! Although Kangxi has always claimed to be "benevolent" and does not like killing ministers, if he really wants to deal with Mo Jing, there will never be any major resistance!

However, I have to admit that Mo Jing is still a little clever!

Before he and Gao Shiqi and almost all the civil and military officials in the court, he thought that Kangxi would promote an official to the prime minister again, and also limited the official to a very small range!

"Maybe, this is just watching Qing!" Gao Shiqi smiled in his heart and said, "Who among the civil and military officials does not want to climb a big tree? Unfortunately, they all wanted to find people in power, but they did not expect that the emperor would never let the power fall. Balance is the emperor's true intention!... I wonder if Zhang Tingyu had thought of this?... It's a pity that even though he thought about it, he would not express it with that kid's personality!"

While Gao Shiqi was thinking, a eunuch walked out of the Ganqing Palace Hall.

"Gao Xiang, the emperor summons you in!"

"Um!"

Shaking his head, Gao Shiqi threw out the inexplicable idea of ​​"Zhang Tingyu should be smarter than that Mo Jing", and then, he stepped into the Ganqing Palace, the leader of the three palaces in the inner court, with a full official uniform!

(The three palaces in the inner court, the Ganqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace. The Jiaotai Palace houses twenty-five seals of the Qing Dynasty. The Kunning Palace was the residence of the queen and later became a place dedicated to shamanism and sacrifice to gods!)

******************

The next day after Gao Shiqi met Kangxi, he was also in the Ganqing Palace, during the morning court!

Sitting high on the throne under the plaque "Zhengda Guangming", Kangxi looked at the officials standing below, looking like five or six people, and suddenly felt like they wanted to laugh in his heart, "These guys will probably fight to the death if they don't care about their demeanor later!" he thought to himself.

"The emperor has an order, he will make a report if he has something to do, and he will leave the class if he has nothing to do!"

Seeing that Kangxi and all the civil and military officials were ready, the eunuch Li Dequan preached according to the convention.

"I'm going to report to the emperor, I'm Chen Tingjing has the foundation!"

As soon as Li Dequan retired, an official in his fifties came out to make a speech.

"It's Tingjing, what's the matter with you?" Kangxi asked.

"Return to the emperor, Jiangsu Governor Yu Chenglong reported to the emperor, begging the emperor to cut the money and grain that Jiangsu needs to pay this year...!"

"no!"

Before Chen Tingjing could finish speaking, Kangxi refused decisively!

"Emperor..." Chen Tingjing said anxiously: "Since Yu Chenglong succeeded as the governor of Jiangsu, the emperor asked him to pay an additional seven million stones of grain every year. Even in the country of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, this task is too heavy. Seeing the hardships of people's livelihood, Yu Chenglong wrote a memorial to the emperor regardless of the emperor's order. He hoped that the emperor would like to remember Jackie Chan's love for the people and what he said!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen is very saying, I'm going to discuss it!"

...Soetu!

No one expected that Soetu would come out to help Chen Tingjing speak. Even Kangxi, who was about to refuse Chen Tingjing's report again, was slightly stunned!

This is... something is wrong!

Chen Tingjing is the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Personnel. He is the second only to Xiong Cilu and Gao Shiqi among the Han officials of the Qing Dynasty. He has always been honest and has never dealt with Soetu and the previous Mingzhu. However, he is very respected by Kangxi and was a hero of Kangxi's pacification of the Three Feudals. He did not let the two prime ministers join forces to suppress it. However, the two conflicting people now express the same opinion on the same matter. Although this is not a rare thing in the court, they are Chen Tingjing and Soetu! Since the two appeared in the court together, they have never been in conflict, just like Kangxi wants to lay off.

When the Three Feudals were withdrawn, Soetu believed that the Three Feudals was powerful, and in order not to stimulate the other party, the feudals should not be withdrawn. Chen Tingjing was the backbone of supporters. After pacifying Taiwan, Soetu believed that Taiwan was isolated overseas and was not suitable for defense. He should move the people on the island to the mainland and then give up Taiwan Island. Chen Tingjing joined forces with Shi Lang and Fujian Governor Yao Qisheng and others to firmly express his opposition... Both major events finally showed that Chen Tingjing was more visionary than Soetu. In addition, Chen Tingjing never bought Soetu's account, so Soetu either did not interfere with Chen Tingjing's affairs or did it in confrontation, which means that this situation has never happened today.

...What's wrong with this?

"This Soetu must have taken advantage of others again! Humph!" Kangxi, who was familiar with Soetu, quickly guessed the reason why the Suoxiangye did this and was angry.

But Soetu didn't expect that his thoughts had been seen through by Kangxi. Besides, what was he afraid of? He was talking to the "people" in Jiangsu! Although these people were worth more than one million taels of silver, these people had to look at Yu Chenglong's cold and stinky face every year, and then reluctantly took out their money to help the farmers pay the 7 million stones of money and food shortage, which was very "hard"! More importantly, Yu Chenglong not only did not accept the affection of these "people", but also became addicted to blackmailing. He looked for them all day long and built a river later.

It's a dike, and it's a lake to build fields... but it won't make people feel good! What's this? If it weren't for the fact that this guy's reputation among the little people was too famous and could be regarded as a banner of the court, Kangxi would definitely not agree to remove him from his post, but he wouldn't just ask the emperor to cut taxes, but he just took the guy to the end and went to his mother!... Of course, asking him to ask the prime minister to take action will naturally pay a certain price. One million taels of silver is OK! Besides, if this money is spread to so many rich people, everyone doesn't have to pay much, and it's better to pay it once than to pay it every year!

"No matter what your reasons are, I just... not sure!" Kangxi ignored Soetu and just said to Chen Tingjing: "I know that I can't fish in the pond when doing things. However, big things are approaching, and I need enough food and money. Jiangsu is a land of fish and rice. Where can I raise it there? Wei Dongting wants to raise 10 million taels of silver for me every year, but he didn't speak, and Yu Chenglong has no reason!... Tingjing, go and tell him, wait for a while, and when my work is finished, I will not only exempt the seven million stones of imperial grain, but also reduce the taxes in Jiangsu for several years, which is enough for Jiangsu to return to life.

Vitality will never make it difficult for him to do, just let him rest assured!"

"This... I received the order!" Seeing Kangxi's firm attitude, Chen Tingjing knew that Kangxi had made up his mind and would not let go. Since that's the case, let's first catch what he said would reduce taxes in Jiangsu for a few years. This would be considered as worthy of the people there! And So Etu, the money has been collected, so what if the matter has not been completed? Do those people dare to come to him?

"Is there anything else?" Waving his hand, letting Soetu and Chen Tingjing stand back, Kangxi asked the officials again.

...

"Since you're fine, it's my turn!" Kangxi cleared his throat, glanced at Soetu, and a feeling of revenge suddenly flashed in his heart. "Look at your little thing to cause trouble for me. Even though I knew that I needed food and salary for Galdan's military use, I still dared to give some benefits. Humph, I really don't take matters into national affairs. OK, since you can't tell me how to be a qualified slave, I will remind you!"

"The ministers in Shangshu are dedicated to military affairs and discussing government affairs. They are my indispensable hands. Now, Xiong Cilu has retired, and one of the four ministers in Shangshuhu has been missing. I have decided to choose one of the officials to serve as the ministers in Shangshuhuhuhu. Please tell me, who is the most suitable?"

...

"coax……"

After a brief silence, the Qianqing Palace suddenly became a vegetable market!

All civil and military officials were almost surprised... Kangxi was actually going to "select a prime minister" now!

Xiong Cilu has just retired for two days and hasn't left the capital yet, so why are you in a hurry to choose someone to replace him?

However, now is not the time to discuss this issue. The most important thing now is to determine who can become the new prime minister!

All civil and military officials were all moved!

Yes, they were all moved!

A small Zhang Tingyu, a sixth-rank official, was only about twenty years old, and could leapt into the dragon gate overnight, rise to the upper study room, and be in the position of the magistrate. Now he is staying in the Qianqing Palace.

Which one is not a fourth-grade or above? Why is it worse than Zhang Tingyu?

"I want to be the prime minister!"
