Kangxi looked at Yabu for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
Prince Jane bowed and retreated.
Kangxi looked at his back with a heavy expression, remembering his youth.
Ao Bai was in charge of power, so he accused Suk Saha, who was also an auxiliary minister.
Yue Le was in power, but because Noni said to his face, "You also have nirvana," he became angry and insisted on condemning Noni to death.
This all touched his nerves.
Ao Bai was punished and sentenced to death.
Yue Le was mourned and honored after his death. Why?
If the clan members hugged each other, Kangxi would not sleep at night; but if the clan members criticized each other, he would also understand the severity.
The clan is the foundation of the Eight Banners, and the clan cannot fight within it.

At the gate of Qianqing Palace, Prince Jian and Brother Jiu from Xinan Pavilion met him face to face.
Brother Ninth bowed: "Uncle..."
Prince Jian stopped, nodded and said: "Brother Ninth..."
Seeing Brother Ninth's tense expression, Prince Jian became extremely curious.
He had heard several times in the past month about the emperor's subsidy of five hundred thousand taels of silver to his beloved son.
And the information is better than others.
We also know that Yuqing Palace is dissatisfied with this matter, and there seems to be some rift between the prince and the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu had no intention of greeting him, so he ordered the eunuch on duty at the door to call in and ask for your Majesty's permission.
When Prince Jian saw this, he left knowingly.
Just as Brother Ninth had suspected before, Prince Jian also suspected that there was another "mastermind" behind Noni's insistence on filing a lawsuit with a man who had been dead for more than ten years.
This person is the co-leader of the Eight Banners inside.
Emperor Taizong swore not to seize Niulu from the kings. If he wanted to give Niulu to his son, he had to think of other ways.
But thinking about the emperor's expression just now, Prince Jian was not sure.
Liang Jiugong, who was at the entrance of Xinuang Pavilion, hesitated after hearing the low-pitched warning from the eunuch on duty outside.
Kangxi noticed the movement at the door and looked over.
Liang Jiugong hurriedly bowed and stepped forward, saying: "Your Majesty, Master Jiu is here, please see me outside..."
Kangxi looked at the clock.
It's already the second quarter of the first lunar month.
It's been a long day now, so I haven't held the lamp yet.
However, the time when the palace gate closes is fixed, which is You Zheng.
There are still two quarters of an hour left.
"pass!"
Kangxi nodded.
Liang Jiugong bowed and went out, and then Brother Jiu followed in with big strides.
Kangxi looked at Brother Nine.
Brother Ninth went to the Zongren Mansion at noon...
Could it be that he was entrusted by Eighth Prince to intercede for Yue Le?
Kangxi felt unhappy.
Brother Ninth came straight to the point and said: "Khan Ama, Sun Guidan, the eldest son of the Sanguanbao, the assistant leader of the Shengjing Internal Affairs Bureau, is looking for his son to be the leader, and accuses the Sanguanbao of arranging people to sell ginseng secretly!"
"Sanguanbao? Guidan?" Kangxi frowned and said, "What nonsense? How can a grandson be the first grandfather?"
If it is not a serious crime of treason, it is appropriate to hide from each other.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth, shook his head and said: "The Shengjing ginseng case is about to be settled, there is no need to create additional complications!"
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "My son has sent Guidan to the Shenxing Department, and now he has taken a confession!"
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Brother Jiu told the truth and said: "Khan Ama, my son also knows that the boss is his grandfather, which is related to the dignity of the empress and the fifth brother. But the more this is the case, the harder it is to indulge. Who knows the ginseng business over there?" Two years, or twenty years? If this money honors the mother-in-law and the fifth brother, it is plucking the hair of the Khan's Ama and subsidizing the Khan's Ama's concubine's brother. Even if he has selfish motives, he is partial to his flesh and blood. But what does it mean now? He took Khan Amma’s money, subsidized his own children and grandchildren, and let Khan Amma’s concubine take the blame. It’s obvious here, who is the big fool?”
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said, "That's your maternal family. If you really want to be held accountable, have you thought about the consequences?"
Brother Jiu thought for a moment and said, "The consequences? Uncle Daobao's chief of ceremonies wiped it?"
"Others will say that your mother has fallen out of favor, and they will think that I don't like you and my fifth brother..."
Kangxi frowned.
Brother Jiu disagreed and said: "Let them talk. Are you, Khan Ama, confused? You want to punish your own people for the faults of others?"
Kangxi looked at him and said: "In your heart, what is Amma? That is your mother's dear Amma. Don't you think that you are in love with her?"
This son is sometimes very humane, and sometimes seems a bit cold.
He is considerate to his in-laws, but has always had no contact with his mother-in-law.
I am also on good terms with my brothers, but I am not close to my uncles or clan members.
This way of doing things sometimes made Kangxi confused.
Brother Jiu glanced at Kangxi and said: "My son is a petty person. He will treat whoever treats his son well. The relationship is too complicated for the son to care about. The Guo Luoluo family treats the mother in an ordinary way, so the son does not like it."
I could tolerate them before, but when I think that they will ruin the reputation of my wife and my fifth brother, my son doesn’t want to tolerate them anymore.”
Kangxi shook his head and said: "You are already eighteen and are no longer a child. You should know that no one can do whatever you want. Think about your mother-in-law's dignity!"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "If you let your wife choose to marry her husband, she will still prefer Khan Ama to follow us..."
"Things will go well if things are slow..." Kangxi mused: "Sanguanbao has been working in Shengjing for more than 20 years, and he has some merits..."
Perhaps because the old ministers have died one after another in the past two years, he has become much more tolerant.
Brother Ninth remembered the incident in the first month of last year when the emperor's father asked them to see Suo'etu and ransack their homes.
At that time, I was thinking about "killing chickens to scare monkeys". Why don't I think about it now?
He said: "Khan Amar, as early as the year before last, when my son went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work as an errand, my mother-in-law told my son that the honor of our mother and son came from Khan Ama, and asked my son to work well and repay Khan Ama for his upbringing.
Well, my son, in the past two years in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I have also seen that many harem concubines belong to other families, and there are many who are arrogant and domineering, so we should restrain them. Otherwise, if the family members of the Yuqing Palace follow suit in the future, it will be you and me who are in trouble.
Prince..."
When various forces divide the Ministry of Internal Affairs, won't the Ministry of Internal Affairs return to its previous appearance?
After Kangxi heard this, he thought of the Li Gege family in Yuqing Palace. Suo'etu had previously arranged several positions for Li's relatives.
When he ordered the eviction of the Li family last summer, he discovered that there were several people in charge of the Li family, including Lang Zhong and Yuan Wai Lang in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
What Brother Jiu said is not without purpose.
Brother Ninth said again: "Everyone is a little brave. Khan Ama reprimanded his family when he visited the east two years ago. If they are a sensible family, even if they had some unclean things in private before, they should have done so in the past two years.
He restrained himself, but became even more rampant, becoming the first person to purchase ginseng. If he continued to delay, his son would worry about causing other troubles, so he might as well just take action on this case. Those ginseng mountains are the property of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the crime of oversight is unavoidable. If Khan
Ama can't bear the severe punishment, so let the old man retire, educate his children well, and save the old man from worrying about taking advantage of the fifth brother and his son..."
Kangxi looked hesitant.
Brother Jiu said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has rules and regulations, but no one is watching. As time goes by, everyone will be happy to pretend to be stupid and forget the rules. Adding a censor's office to deter them will save them a lot of worry in the future.
."
Kangxi looked at him and said: "You have to know that since the 26th year of the reopening of Fengwenyanshi, the censor no longer needs to 'point out the truth and intervene'. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has really added the censor's yamen, and then there will be no need to intervene with you."
of!"
The ninth elder brother did not enter the court, but only served as an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, even if his actions were inappropriate, no one would impeach him.
However, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs has set up the Yushi Yamen, things are different.
Brother Jiu nodded and said calmly: "Just take part, it can also prove your son's innocence. What is the public saying about your son? It's like your son is a rat. What he means is that your son has betrayed you."
The inner treasury has been emptied!"
At this point, he glanced at Kangxi sadly and said: "Khan Ama, you don't want to defend your son?"
Kangxi snorted coldly: "How can I defend you? That the money is not from the inner treasury, but that you came here just to fool your brothers?"
Brother Jiu was not happy, and said with a bit of a rogue tone: "Then my son won't fool me anymore, and I will treat it as your order to refund last year's money?"
Kangxi said angrily: "How much has the land price in Xiaotangshan increased? Will this free up money?"
Now that I have enough confidence to speak, it is no longer time to deceive people when I was short of money.
Brother Jiu said with a "hehe" smile: "It's not much now, only 40 to 50 percent..."
As the news of the five hundred thousand taels spread, naturally some people followed the clues to find out where the money was spent.
After all, it had only been a few months since Ninth Prince opened the palace, and the population of the Prince's Palace had been reduced by half. Moreover, it was used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support daily needs, so there was no room for expenses.
Xiaotangshan was exposed at this time.
More than 100,000 acres of land...
In addition, now that Ninth Prince has begun to allocate manpower from the construction department to prepare for the start of construction of Tangquan Palace in February, everyone knows that Tangquan Palace is about to undergo major renovations.
Someone who was quick-thinking already asked people to inquire about the land of Xiaotangshan. It turned out that the hot springs were located several miles around, and except for the land under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the rest was in the hands of Brother Jiu.
No one knows exactly how much money was spent. Just an estimate shows that a million taels is not enough.
Someone secretly mentioned that Brother Jiu was greedy for ink.
Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, but he was still calculating in his mind.
Now it’s only 40% or 50%...
This is just the beginning, the repairs haven't started yet...
No wonder Brother Jiu dares to guarantee it and is willing to give everyone a one-to-one profit share.
It seems that Brother Jiu is sure that the land price has more than doubled.
If we go by the increase in land prices in Haidian over the past ten years, it is really possible.
Kangxi regretted it and said to his ninth elder brother: "It's not enough to live in two new palaces, so we need to add two more!"
Brother Ninth was speechless.
He felt that he couldn't go on like this. This back and forth was obviously filial piety, but it had become a business relationship.
He said: "My son has asked people to re-plan the trip. When the time comes, we brothers will honor Khan Ama together. Except for the twelfth prince and the three younger ones, each of them will honor one place, whether it is the palace or the palace."
It is a pavilion. It can be expanded into a palace in this way without consuming the money of the inner treasury and the household department. It is the filial piety that we, as sons, have shown to Khan Amma..."
