Since the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's appointment as governor of Shaanxi, Garli has been out in exile for three years.
The local official who had been serving for three years sat down and looked a bit more dignified. He looked much richer.
I don't know if it's because he's in front of the emperor or something else, but his temperament is a bit more reserved.
With an excited expression on his face, he kowtowed and said: "There was a severe famine in Shanxi last year. I was so kind that I gave up money and grain and went out to provide food and supplies. However, the people were unable to repay the emperor's great kindness. I would like to build a Wanshou Pavilion on top of the Bodhisattva. It is already under construction."
, please give me permission..."
The local officials and elders who followed behind also kowtowed, and the virtuous ones offered apples, hawthorns, pears and other fresh fruits.
Kangxi looked at the vast number of people, looked at Garli and said: "I told you not to disturb the local people..."
It was freezing cold in the mountains, and the gentry and the common people were spending money and food to welcome them.
Galli readily confessed his crime and said, "I was thinking of paying my respects to my master, but I was negligent."
Seeing that he honestly admitted his mistake, Kangxi did not mean to show off his face in front of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "People's livelihood is difficult. Shanxi is suffering from famine, and the people still need to recuperate. Let's finish the construction of Wanshou Pavilion..."
After saying that, he looked at the thirteenth elder brother next to him and ordered him to take a small amount of fresh fruit from each plate, which was considered as accepting the people's wishes.
Galli had been called up and looked at the prince behind Kangxi.
No matter what he thought in his heart, the royal family pointed his niece into Yuqing Palace in order to give her to the prince.
The crown prince also had a share of the Dragon Boat Festival tribute and the Mid-Autumn Festival tribute that Garli sent to the capital.
Now, isn't it the prince's turn to act on behalf of the emperor?
How to call a little brother?
Ga Li had long heard about the thirteenth elder brother's favor.
He couldn't help but look at the other princes, the fourth prince and the ninth prince, who were also the emperor's favorite princes.
Starting from last year, the Holy Chariot must take the prince with him when he goes on tour. Is this a grace or something else?
It was cold outside, and seeing the elderly people kneeling on the ground shaking, Kangxi ended the reception ceremony and led his entourage into the palace.
Brother Jiu looked at the palace in front of him. It was built in the early years and was donated by the gentry.
Just looking at the size of this palace, you can see the wealth of Shanxi.
The spirit of welcoming the people is also different from other places.
The ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother whispered: "What does Khan Amma think? Putting Gari in Shanxi is not a mouse in a rice vat?"
Garli was in his early thirties, and he accompanied the holy warrior when he went on an expedition, and he worked hard with the logistics and made great contributions.
But there were also a lot of accusations against him for being corrupt.
Fourth Brother scolded in a low voice: "Be careful what you say!"
The fourth elder brother didn't like Garli either, but since he was personally promoted by the emperor and was Prince Yu's cousin, they couldn't question him.
Brother Jiu shut his mouth, but he was curious in his heart.
Did the old lady from Dong E's family ever work as a wet nurse?
Where did the words of Brother Waitai come from?
But didn’t the imperial father’s wet nurses all get imperial titles?
The old lady of Dong E's family was not among them.
Kangxi wanted to inquire about the local military and political affairs in Shanxi, so he asked Ga Li to ask questions.
Galli said: "In the past few years, the Meihe River flooded and there were successive years of famine. Many people fled to Henan to escape famine. Zhao Feng, the magistrate of Qinshui County, issued an order to postpone land tax collection, recalled the exiled people, encouraged mulberry planting, and dredged the rivers. His political achievements were considerable."
Local officials who are appointed abroad must meet with your Majesty.
When Kangxi heard this, he was impressed and nodded: "Zhao Fengzhao, the Jinshi of Wuchen Branch, his father is also a great talent, not bad."
It turns out that this is the son of Zhao Shenqiao, the Zhejiang Chief Minister who took office last year.
Zhejiang is a land of wealth in the world, and the ethics of officials are the most important.
Zhao Shenqiao believed that he was an honest man, so he was promoted to Zhejiang Chief Envoy after being recommended by Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili.
Kangxi had a very good impression of Zhao Shenqiao, and he was quite satisfied after hearing what Gali mentioned about this small magistrate.
Brother Jiu stood listening and thought of Gao Bin.
If Gao Bin managed the Xianghe River well, would the governor of Zhili praise him in front of the emperor?
I don't feel like it.
To the governors, the Qipin County Magistrate was simply insignificant.
If you really want to recommend officials before the imperial court, they must be at the prefect level.
This Zhao Fengzhao was either Ga Li's confidant, or Ga Li was selling favors to the Zhao family.
The father and son of the Zhao family were both second-grade Jinshi, and the late Zhao Shenqiao's father was a second-grade minister.
This is also a tired family.
Did the ceremony accept "filial piety"?
Seeing that Ga Li recommended such a subordinate, Kangxi was very pleased and said: "The Zhao family has a clean and upright family tradition. Both Zhao Fengzhao and his ancestors have a reputation for being honest. As local parents, they should be honest and self-responsible."
Galli said respectfully: "I am a high-ranking official, but I am not from a humble family, so I am not bad at all."
Kangxi nodded and glanced at Garli.
The second room of Dong'e's house, where Gali lives, also has some foundation.
Otherwise, Shi Zu would not have selected the second-year sophomore Gege if he had drafted the Eight Banners.
Brother Jiu stood with his legs weak. Listening to the exchanges between the monarch and his ministers, his thoughts became more and more scattered.
I'm afraid this Zhao Fengzhao is not a good thing!
Birds of a feather flock together.
Khan Amma has been deceived!
Did Garli deliberately speak to a son of an upright official?
Then Khan Amma thought that he had been promoted, and he admired such subordinates. With the filial piety of "three festivals and two longevity", his horizons broadened, and he started to talk about moral integrity?
But in fact, as Gali became a local official, he could justifiably be greedy for money.
Brother Jiu had seen Garli behaving arrogantly when he was drunk. Even a superior gentleman like Peng Chun and a veteran in the army would not look down upon him. He also had no respect for his two cousins, Xindali and Qi Xi.
There is something wrong with the morality of this Karma.
He complained for a while and acted as a dummy for a long time. It was almost lunch before he got the grace to step back from the palace.
Ga Li received grace and was allowed to have a meal.
Also left behind was the prince.
The ninth elder brother became more and more curious. He came up to the fourth elder brother and whispered: "Fourth elder brother, is Gali really the brother of Khan Amama?"
How can I be so virtuous as to give him such dignity?
Being given meals by the emperor is not a honor that everyone can have.
If you are a nanny brother, wouldn't the best future be rewarded with a bodyguard?
Whether it is the Eight Banners or the Dong E family, they are all more important in the military, and this military attaché is promoted quickly.
However, Garli had the idea of appointing the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and he entered the official position in this way. Then he fell silent for more than ten years before he was promoted and moved three times a year.
The thirteenth elder brother was also beside the fourth elder brother. Hearing this, he was also curious.
There was this saying in the thirty-fifth year of the Kali period when the people moved three times a year.
There were so many people outside, so Brother Si didn't rush to say anything.
When the three brothers arrived at the resettlement place, he said: "Mrs. Dong E was once entrusted by the Empress Dowager to take care of Khan Ama in the pox house. The future of Garli in the past few years was implicated by Uncle Wang..."
The pox house is a courtyard outside the Forbidden City.
The emperor's family was plagued by smallpox, so the princes in the palace were kept in a pox shelter to avoid pox.
In fact, there is another saying that the emperor's father once fostered him in Dong E's family.
The emperor's father was raised outside the palace until he was eight years old.
According to the current theory, he left the womb to avoid acne, but in fact, he had acne at the age of two, and he was not taken back to the womb after the acne broke out.
It is not easy to study this in detail, otherwise it will easily arouse criticism and hide everything.
Thirty years ago, when the emperor changed the clan's nobility regulations, there was a lot of gossip outside. The fourth elder brother was also old at that time, so he heard some vaguely.
It was hard to say this in front of my brothers, so the fourth elder brother said what he could.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said, "She's just a temporary nanny. The wet nurse's statement was made by Gali himself..."
Brother Thirteen nodded, thinking that this was a gift to give him some gold.
Just looking at the reward and respect the emperor gave to Cao Yin's mother, we knew that this was the treatment of a nanny, and she was given a plaque and a birthday gift.
The mother of Garli did not receive that kind of treatment.
Brother Jiu thought of the people building the Wanshou Pavilion and asked: "Brother Four, it's just a pavilion. From what I heard, the construction has started. Why doesn't Khan Ama stop it? If it's half built, wouldn't it be more wasteful?
?”
The fourth elder brother said: "It is not good to set a precedent, otherwise in the future, wherever the Holy Emperor Khan Ama goes, he may have to build monuments and pavilions."
After saying this, Brother Jiu understood.
He still didn't like Garli and said, "You've already become a governor, but you don't know this? Why do you still want to show off? After a moment of fuss, Khan Ama reprimanded him, and he must have been very useful in his heart. He felt that he was loyal.
"
Fourth elder brother also felt that Garli was too campy.
Brother Thirteen was listening and said nothing.
Galli is still young, so he is not considered a young minister, but he is still young compared to the Grand Scholar of Jiuqing.
After serving as governor for several years, when he returned to the capital, he became Manshilang and Minister.
This should be the nine ministers prepared by the emperor's father for the prince.
But now, will the imperial father still return to the capital with the gift of Shengkar...

I felt a little weak when I got home on Wednesday and vomited once; I went out with my mother to do errands on Thursday and caught a cold without wearing a down jacket. I have been struggling every day for the past two days.
