132 132 In the same boat
◎Helpless! Why is he so hard to please?◎
This time, it was the Thirteenth Prince who stopped him and saved Mo Yu's life.
It was also Qiao'er's fault. Just like last time, the Thirteenth Prince was present again...
and as kind as the Thirteenth Prince was, he would never let such a "bloody case" happen in front of him and do nothing.
The main reason was that this Thirteenth Prince was fully capable of stopping it, so he could successfully stop these attacks against Mo Yu again and again.
All the digital legions in Master Kang's family had to take riding and archery lessons, and they were all people who had practiced boxing and kicking, and many of them could directly go to the battlefield to lead troops to fight.
Moreover, the Thirteenth Prince was well-known for his talent in both civil and military affairs since he was young. In addition, he was the closest to Mo Yu, so he naturally reacted quickly and quickly saved Mo Yu from the prince's throw.
Because the incident happened suddenly, none of the guards, eunuchs, palace servants, and ministers around him reacted in time. If the Thirteenth Prince had not drawn his sword to help, Mo Yu would have been thrown to the ground by the prince.
Although the boat is spacious and stable, it would not be a big deal even if she really fell, but if she was hurt, it would still be very uncomfortable.
Not to mention the weight of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - to be honest, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not look as heroic as the eldest prince, he is not the body of a weak scholar.
The weight of this adult man in his thirties was enough for a six or seven-year-old child like Mo Yu to bear.
The prince missed his attack and fell to the ground. He was panting and glaring at Mo Yu and the Thirteenth Prince. It seemed that he even hated the Thirteenth Prince.
Master Kang also reacted at this time. It turned out that the prince was desperate this time and didn't care at all.
He really thought that his father was dead. There were no rules and he attacked him right in front of him. What
an unfilial son!
Thinking of Yinreng's past disobedience, Master Kang couldn't help but get angrier, but the angrier he got, the calmer his face became. In the end, he even laughed.
Of course, it was a sneer.
"If the prince doesn't want to follow me, then don't follow me. You can go back now while you're still not far from the capital."
At this point, Yinreng also felt scared.
Master Kang's reputation is not only reflected in governing the country and leading troops to fight, but also in being a strict father and shocking his children.
Anyway, even though Yinreng had been Master Kang's "good son" for a long time, he didn't dare to do it again when he saw that he was really angry - when the old man got angry, it would be really fatal, so it's better to be honest.
In fact, Yinreng was just angry for a while, so he did such an irrational behavior - how could he do it himself? Oh, he really can't care about anything when he gets angry. What a
mistake! How reckless!
Yinreng was extremely regretful, and he quickly continued to kowtow to Master Kang while kneeling, and even took a few steps on his knees in a very earnest manner, hugged Master Kang's thighs, and said in a crying voice: "Father, please forgive me. I was too angry just now and lost my temper for a moment. I will never do it again next time." There will be
a next time.
Master Kang sneered, and without saying anything, he thought about issuing an order for the prince to go back to the capital.
After sending the prince back to the cabin and locking himself up in Jiangnan last time, this time Master Kang thought about not taking this damn thing out with him in the future.
This is a more terrible punishment than the last time.
Because as long as this order is issued, everyone will know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lost the emperor's heart.
In addition, many people have "heard" the prediction of the kid from the Lin family, so the dethronement of the crown prince can be put on the agenda...
This must not be enough!
Yinreng was really panicked this time.
He even took the initiative to look to the Thirteenth Prince for help.
At this time, the Thirteenth Prince also knelt down.
He really pleaded for the crown prince.
It has to be said that the Thirteenth Prince's IQ and EQ are really online, but he is really too kind.
The crown prince just treated him like that, but he still thought about the brotherhood of the past and pleaded for his second brother.
It is estimated that this was the case when Master Kang deposed the crown prince for the first time.
Everyone else was afraid of Master Kang's scales and dared not say a word. It must be this silly kid who rushed up to plead for the crown prince.
Maybe he said something he shouldn't have said because of his urgency.
No wonder he was imprisoned directly, and turned from the most favored prince into a poor little guy who didn't even have a share of the collective welfare distribution...
Mo Yu accidentally thought of the future fate of the Thirteenth Prince, and he was thinking about it intently.
So, if the Thirteenth Prince always behaves like a good person, then it will definitely end the same as before, right?
What if he changes?
Will the result be different?
No, he really can't stand it*. Otherwise, he should think of a way to remind the Thirteenth Prince...
Mo Yu was thinking about this, but unexpectedly, Master Erkang had already dealt with the matter of the prince.
In the end, the prince was not sent back to the palace, but he was also severely reprimanded.
It can be said that this was all for the face of the Thirteenth Prince.
Once again, it proves that when the time is not right, everyone is still a family with loving fathers and filial sons.
Mo Yu sighed that the relationship between these royal fathers and sons was indeed complicated, and silently rubbed the goose bumps on his arms. I always feel that the feeling between the three of them is weird. It
turns out that it is because there are too few people this time. This is already Master Kang’s fifth tour.
Every time before, Master Kang’s escort team was huge, especially the sons who accompanied him on the tour. There were not ordinary numbers.
Except for the first and second southern tours, which were too early, many of the princes were not old enough at that time, so Master Kang basically did not bring them or only brought the oldest prince. From the third time, the team was very large.
Because the third time, Master Kang brought seven sons and even the Empress Dowager.
This has never happened in any previous dynasty.
Just based on this point, Master Kang's image as a "filial son" has been firmly established.
Please, even modern people may not bring their elderly parents with them on a trip, let alone in this dynasty. Not only is
the transportation inconvenient, but the sanitary conditions are not very good. Under such circumstances, it is even more troublesome for the elderly to travel.
But Master Kang insisted on "fulfilling his filial piety", so he had to prepare well.
It is said that someone has counted that Master Kang made six southern tours and left the palace forty-six times in his life, and it is unknown how much money he spent.
These recorded data are only the official data on the surface. It is unknown how much data there are behind the scenes that have not been counted.
After all, this is the emperor's tour.
Those local officials, especially the common people, may not see the emperor in their lifetime. For such a big event, they must come out to see the excitement.
Seeing the excitement is not a big deal. If you do a good job of face-saving and make the emperor happy, you may be promoted.
In particular, Master Kang has always been very tolerant of corruption. He probably thinks that if corrupt officials are severely punished, they will not take money out of their own pockets, but will double the money from the people.
This idea cannot be said to be wrong.
However, he probably forgot one thing. If officials get used to corruption, they will definitely not be in awe.
Therefore, the more time went by, the more rampant it became. It is said that the national treasury only collected one or two taels of silver in taxes, but local officials dared to increase it to more than ten taels of silver...
That is to say, in the end of the prosperous Kangxi era, only the small coffers of corrupt officials were full, and the national treasury and the pockets of ordinary people were empty.
This is really the disadvantage brought by being soft-hearted - after all, corruption and bribery cannot be tolerated.
If you use thundering methods like the four masters, you will definitely catch them one by one, and of course it will have a great deterrent effect. It is
also very easy to investigate corruption.
There is only a small amount of salary and silver in total, just see whose consumption level is higher than the income level.
Sadly, by the end of Kang Shifu's administration, basically all consumption levels were higher than income levels.
It is true that "all officials are corrupt" and "all corrupt officials are corrupt".
As for the honest officials like Yu Chenglong, they are one in a hundred, oh, and even basically unique.
It is sad that such honest officials have to be promoted as a role model.
If everyone is an honest official, then such things don't need to be deliberately promoted, it is just a minimum requirement.
But even such things have to be deliberately promoted, which obviously means that this country is full of corrupt officials, so "scarcity makes things valuable".
Moreover, everyone else is a corrupt official, but you are not, and it is easy for you to get into trouble... For example, Yu Chenglong, who was personally awarded the Zhangjia Award by Master Kang, is often out of tune with everyone because he is not conscienceless enough and is cruel and ruthless. That's the reason.
Anyway, Master Kang won't care, and the whole thing is in a rotten state.
In addition to lenient punishments for corrupt officials and allowing the treasury to become emptier day by day, Master Kang also likes to tour everywhere - it can be said that no emperor likes to travel as much as he does.
Although it is a good thing to understand the people's livelihood, as the saying goes, "too much is as bad as too little", after doing too many such tours, it is still a bit unbearable.
Even Master Kang himself found that when he first came here, Jiangnan was a land of fish and rice and very prosperous.
But when he came for the fourth or fifth time, it was a completely different situation.
He knew that the problem was that he loved to go on tours.
Everywhere the emperor went, there was a lot of fanfare. Not to mention the supplies for the people and horses he brought with him, he also had to build palaces along the way.
Anything he did was a big project - after all, it was for the emperor's use, so it had to be the best, otherwise how could it be worthy of such a noble status as the emperor?
And there were also the empress dowager and the princes.
With so many noble people, it was definitely not possible to fool them casually.
The key point is that when there are such high-sounding reasons, that is when many people "get rich".
I don't know how many people used these names to plunder the people's fat and blood, and in the end it all went into their own pockets.
These are all negative comments about Master Kang.
Mo Yu had not paid much attention to these aspects before, but this time, for some reason, he suddenly thought of this information. The system went online very attentively, and after a little sorting, he found a shocking account.
While reading this information in his mind, Mo Yu could not help but sigh. Suddenly, he saw that Master Kang's face, which had just softened a little, turned dark again...
Really, he is not happy even when he comes out to play, how can he be so difficult to please?
Everyone is a baby!
Our Master Kang is still an old baby...
This, it's really not good, I can't stand it anymore.
Mo Yu silently looked away, ready to concentrate on the scenery on both sides of the strait.
Master Kang's face also turned pale and blue: What, you said my tour was a waste? You said I was reluctant to deal with corrupt officials, right?
Fine! Just wait and see! Let's see if I can stand up this time.
As he was talking, the boat had slowly sailed into a port, right in the territory of Tianjin. Before docking, officials who were waiting to receive the boat could be seen standing densely on the shore.
The one leading the way was none other than the Minister of Personnel and Direct Inspector General, Li Guangdi.
