◎ Oh no! He is the ugly one! ◎
Mo Yu had a good time complaining about this, but others were helpless.
The first one to be hit was A Shan himself.
This was also the first time he encountered Mo Yu expressing his inner thoughts.
It can be said that this arrogant Governor of Liangjiang had never been treated like this in his life - what does that mean? Someone actually scolded him in front of him?
Who is so bold? If I find out, I will make sure he is in trouble.
Unfortunately, like all the corrupt officials exposed by Mo Yu, he could not do anything except being furious and terrified.
He could not even refute it, because these contents belonged to the category of "oracle" and were simply "unspeakable".
A Shan, who encountered this situation for the first time, said - what the hell is this? Could it be that he really saw a ghost in broad daylight?
Because he had no experience, Ashan was like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, and he had no clue
what was going on. But no one else would remind him - the "miracle" of the young master of the Gusu Lin family had long been an open secret, but first of all, this Lord Ashan usually didn't care about other people.
All his thoughts were on how to make money.
Of course, there was also how to get promoted.
With these two things, wouldn't everything else be within easy reach?
Getting promoted and making money were his only goals in life.
Therefore, other things had nothing to do with him at all - even the reason why he acted so devoutly was not because he really wanted to believe in Buddhism. It was just because the people above liked it, so he followed suit to show off his fashion sense.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Master Shunzhi, and Master Kang, these three big guys all like Buddhism, so shouldn't they follow him?
Ah Shan is just one person, and his lackeys are of course the same character.
Even if there are a few who are clear-headed and see that something is wrong, they can't remind him.
They themselves are also restricted by this "unspeakable" restriction and have no way to remind him.
As for the others, they are all ready to laugh at Ah Shan - this kind of person can sit on the position of Governor-General of Liangjiang, which shows that Master Kang's vision in selecting and employing people is really not that good.
The lackeys are a motley crowd, and the onlookers are watching the excitement and don't mind making trouble, so Ah Shan fell into a passive situation of being beaten.
Mo Yu's inner voice was clearly expressed, with a lot of information. From the beginning of the feud between him and Chen Pengnian to the analysis of the content, it was very detailed, and it was almost like they had told everything about their past and present lives.
This is what it means to strip off all the underwear on the spot.
The key is that he couldn't refute it at all. He
never thought about refutation.
Ashan admitted that he was indeed corrupt, perverted the law, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and did a lot of bad things, but he felt that everyone was doing this, and few people got into trouble.
Since he did it, it was inevitable that the news would leak out and he would be reported. It
's not like no one had impeached him before, even people like Yushi and Jieshizhong, the battle was quite big, but in the end, all the petitions were delivered to the Lord, and in the end, it still came to nothing?
All those capable people failed, what else can be said, could it be that now that it's a kid, he has the ability to make him fail?
It's impossible.
Ashan made up his mind and prepared to continue to act like a spoilsport, but he soon found that something was wrong.
Because the look in Master Kang's eyes when he looked at him changed.
As an official from the Eight Banners, Ashan lived a very comfortable life in the first half of his life. After all, people who can enter the officialdom by relying on special powers are much better than those colleagues who have studied hard for decades.
Moreover, his path to promotion was quite smooth, which made him happier than other colleagues who also took this path.
This was mainly due to his good luck.
He caught up with the right time and followed Master Kang to fight against Galdan and won a great victory. Although he was only an advisor, he also benefited from the victory. From then on, his career became smoother.
Of course, Ashan's smooth career was not entirely due to luck. It
was also inseparable from his ability to observe people's words and expressions.
After all, he had not been smooth sailing before. He was also demoted because of his empty talk and was discovered by Master Kang.
Speaking of which, it was thirteen years ago, that is, the thirty-first year of Kangxi.
The cause of the incident was also disaster relief.
At that time, due to the disaster in Shaanxi and other places, Master Kang sent Ashan, then the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Dezhu, then the Minister of the Cabinet, to provide disaster relief.
This disaster relief lasted for several months, and when Ashan came back, it was already the New Year.
Master Kang was very moved by this, so he summoned Ashan to inquire about the situation of the disaster victims, because he had received news that the refugees had nowhere to go and had moved to Xiangyang.
In addition, this winter was quite cold, and he was a little worried about the wintering of these disaster victims.
In theory, you just need to report the truth and listen to Master Kang's words of admonition and that's it.
After all, Master Kang also knew that it was difficult to do disaster relief perfectly. As long as the general idea was good enough, it would be fine. The right way was to comfort the victims.
If you were a person with ideas, then of course there was no problem. If you didn't have any ideas, you could just listen to Master Kang's instructions.
However, even in such a simple matter, Ashan still made a mistake.
Because he dared to lie with his eyes open and fooled everyone, saying something like "it snowed in the first month of the year, and no people were displaced." He simply treated Master Kang as a nerd who knew nothing.
Master Kang was certainly not the kind of bookworm who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. At least he had visited many places and knew a lot about local customs. He knew it was wrong when he heard this, and he exposed Ashan's lie on the spot.
Yes, although there is snow in the first month of the year, it is useless if there is no rain in February and March. With such a severe drought, we still cannot count on food, and it would be strange if the people did not flee and save their lives.
Now you tell me that because it snowed in the first month of the year, such a severe drought has ended?
But do you know that even I have heard that those refugees have already arrived in Xiangyang?
Are you kidding me?
Or do you really think I am a fool?
Master Kang was furious, so Ashan was immediately demoted from the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to a doctor, and it can be said that he sat on the bench for a long time.
Fortunately, two years later, he seized the opportunity again, and Master Kang noticed him, promoted him to Zuodu Yushi, and returned to the circle of core officials in the capital.
It was still a gorgeous return.
I have to say that he still has some skills.
Originally, his position as Zuodu Yushi was almost over. After all, at this time, he was not young anymore. Although he was not yet an old man, he was also a greasy middle-aged uncle.
It just so happened that at this time, Master Kang was going to personally lead an expedition against Galdan, so this opportunity was once again placed in front of Ashan.
Ashan, who was nearly fifty years old, immediately responded positively and became a member of the army accompanying the emperor on the expedition. He was also lucky enough to become a counselor. Although it was a civil servant, it was easier for him to write about his great achievements, which made Master Kang very happy, so he promoted him again.
Moreover, not only was he promoted when he returned triumphantly, but he also continued to be promoted after returning to the capital.
In just less than four years, he was promoted from the Minister of Rites to the Governor-General of Liangjiang. This level jump was also quite explosive.
In this way, Ashan developed blind confidence in his ability to grasp the emperor's heart, and finally overturned today.
The saddest thing is that he noticed the change in Master Kang's mood and knew that he was going to fall.
This was even more painful.
There is nothing more helpless than watching the building collapse and being unable to do anything.
But he had no choice but to let the boulder fall.
He had clearly come to take over this time with full preparation to kill Chen Pengnian.
How come in the blink of an eye, he was the one who fell to death?
Ashan didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.
Master Kang didn't care about him so much and directly packed him up and sent him to Lin Ruhai and the Thirteenth Prince.
The two of them happened to be dealing with the corruption in disaster relief, and now there was another Ashan who was partial, corrupt, and corrupt, so it must have been no problem.
Lin Ruhai and the Thirteenth Prince said, "Your Highness, we thank you. As long as you are happy, Your Highness..."
Master Kang was of course very happy. He was not unaware of these messy things, but because of his personality and age, he did not want to care about them.
He had been walking on thin ice all his life and rarely had a happy day, so he wanted the people around him to be happier.
Since he wanted everyone to be happy, he would be too tolerant of the officials below, causing these corrupt officials and traitors to go further and further. He simply did not know how to make trouble for them in different ways.
Fortunately, God has opened his eyes and given him a boy from the Lin family who can see through people's hearts and speak out.
Then, he also gave Lin Ruhai, a good official with outstanding ability and character, and the clever Thirteenth Brother, so he didn't need to catch more corrupt officials and recover more funds. That would be a huge loss. It's
simply a waste of resources.
They must be caught, and severely arrested.
Interrogate them! Interrogate them thoroughly.
In this way, Master Kang achieved his small goal of making a fortune.
As for the wish of "it doesn't matter if I get scolded more", it was soon realized.
Because next, it's time to complain about Master Kang again.
There's no way, who told Mo Yu to have such a jumpy mindset, to let his horse run free, like a wild horse galloping, never to return.
So everyone present had to accompany Master Kang to listen to Wansui Ye's special performance of Ten Deadly Sins again.
This kind of thing happens from time to time, and everyone is used to it.
But every time Mo Yu finds a new point to complain about their Wansui Ye.
The funniest thing is that after complaining about a bunch of problems, this kid will turn back to praising his merits.
The key is that he is very natural and switches freely. It can be said that he is a very sincere and genuine fan of the emperor.
Unfortunately, Master Kang didn't think so.
He is already old, and he can't be appeased by a few nice words.
Of course he can hear that Mo Yu is really scolding him... This little bastard is really too courageous.
There were several times when the old man was already furious, but every time when it came to this, the young master of the Lin family would cleverly use a few words to relieve his anger, which could be said to be a firm grasp.
There was no way, he was really too good at it, who could stand it.
Isn't it just a choice to forgive?
So, after passionately complaining about Ashan's various evil deeds, silently complaining about Master Kang's heart being too soft, too afraid of hurting people, and not being ruthless enough as an emperor, I still gave Master Kang a thumbs up.
Although I don't know why Master Kang was so happy to deal with Ashan today, it's a good thing since he knows how to change. As
the saying goes, "It's great to know one's mistakes and improve them." Although Master Kang is soft-hearted, he is not so confused.
That's good.
So that's it.
What if they can still leave?
Originally, Mo Yu wanted to complain, "What if they can still rebel?", but for some reason, the two words "leaved" came to his mind. It can be seen that he and Master Kang have been too inseparable in the past two years.
My goodness, this must be the soul of the social animal in the past, and he is a little too selfless.
In fact, what's the point of investing more.
Not to mention his frail body, even if it's Master Kang, he is still so wavering and wandering around, and he can't solve the basic problems at all.
Whether it is the problem of whether the prince will be deposed or not, whether the four great masters will take the position or not, or the problem of touring the south, west, and north whenever there is nothing to do, it is of no help to ordinary people at all.
Not only will it not help, it may even increase the burden on the people.
First of all, doesn't the palace cost money?
Don't we need to consume the manpower and carriages along the way?
Don't tell me that you issued an edict that it is forbidden to harass the people and keep everything simple.
In this environment full of corrupt officials, these are all jokes.
You said to keep everything simple, but you can't let you sleep in the carriage, right?
Besides, even if you are willing, you can't skip meals.
As long as you go out, you have to spend money, and the more people you go, the more you spend. This is simply a truth that even children understand.
No way?
No way?
You, the "Emperor of the Ages", wouldn't not understand it, right?
If you really don't understand, this is too...
Mo Yu silently thought about Master Kang's wise eyes, and felt that it seemed that he couldn't tell whether it was really wise or really "wise".
So, no matter what, this southern tour should not be carried out.
At least it shouldn't be carried out so frequently.
Look, it
has only been a short time since Mo Yu traveled through time and space to become the eldest son of the Lin family, but he has already made two southern tours. Oh, including the time when everything was ready but the crown prince got sick and made fun of him halfway, in the past three or four years, he has made three southern tours alone.
Not to mention, in addition to the southern tour to Jiangnan, there are also northern tours to Mongolia, western tours to Xi'an, and eastern tours to Mulan.
No matter where he goes on tour,
he has to practice in the palace on the way. Even the simplest one costs money.
Let's not talk about money.
Let's talk about business.
With this simple calculation, Master Kang is indeed worthy of the ancient version of the "flying man", and he really won't stay for anyone or anything for a long time.
Then the question is, he is not in the palace all day long, running around all day, how can he handle the government affairs?
Mo Yu didn't pay much attention to it before, but in recent years he was promoted to Blue Feather Guard. Although he didn't have to do any practical work, he had more opportunities to enter the palace than before.
This made him pay more attention to many things that he didn't pay attention to before.
It turned out that after Master Kang left the palace for inspection, all state affairs were handed over to the regent ministers who stayed in the capital for discussion and handling.
Of course, he didn't just throw all these things to the regent ministers and be a hands-off manager.
He also left a few princes to keep the peace.
Just kidding, it would be too tragic if someone robbed your house while you were having fun. At least this kind of thing should not happen.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but ever since Mo Yu revealed that the fourth master would inherit the throne in the future, the number of times this master stayed in the capital has become more and more.
In the past, the fourth master was able to accompany the emperor on one or two tours.
But since Mo Yu came, the fourth master rarely had the opportunity to go on tours with Master Kang.
At least he was not taken with him on the southern tour.
As for the western tour and northern tour, they were also rare. Firstly, the fourth master appeared to be a weak scholar, and he was very Buddhist and did not fight with the world.
Secondly, Master Kang wanted to train the fourth master's ability to handle state affairs.
Moreover, this practice of intentionally leaving the fourth master in the capital is also recorded in historical materials.
After all, the Fourth Prince was the heir chosen by Master Kang himself - what, you still want to talk about "passing the throne to the Fourth Prince", sorry, this is just a joke but not nonsense, so don't do it.
In this case, as long as Master Kang is not crazy, he should know what to do.
It's really too much to use him for so long and not give him a status.
Thinking about it this way, it feels like everything is a predestined ending.
Poor prince, he thought it was a good thing that Master Kang liked to take him with him when he went out.
In fact, step by step, the possibility of the prince's succession has been slowly stripped away.
Silly child, you just play there foolishly all day long, but your father Master Kang has arranged everything - one person keeps silent, but before you know it, everything has gone far away.
Mo Yu thought of this and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the prince.
Yes, but not much.
Because objectively speaking, this prince is really acting like that. How
should I put it? He has never seen a prince like this. Be it
because he is spoiled and arrogant, or be brainless, anyway, in the end, this prince took the path that all princes have wanted to take - to dethrone his father, the emperor, and take his place.
Originally, he only needed to wait for a while, but now he has to take the initiative, which makes Master Kang feel very uncomfortable.
I like you, but I love my country more.
This throne is yours only if I give it to you, and you can't have it if I don't.
Even if I want to give it to you, I have to make some concessions.
What's going on now?
You can't wait before I even give it to you?
I'm sorry, you won't have it in the future.
This is almost the voice of every emperor who has been rebelled against by the prince.
In this way, the tragedy of the prince is almost doomed.
Who should care about what this prince is thinking?
Speaking of which, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite low-key this time. I don’t know why, but he was locked up by Master Kang again.
This happened during the last southern tour, and this time it should be more serious.
Because it was not until today that Mo Yu found out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not locked up, but was sent back. He
was so embarrassed. Although it was said that he found an excuse of "sudden illness", this excuse was too perfunctory.
Even a child would not believe it.
Anyway, Mo Yu didn't believe it.
So in the end, will he pass the throne to the fourth prince?
Then you have to give him good guidance, because after all, as an emperor, the fourth master is still not qualified enough - to be honest, among these digital legions of Master Kang, the fourth master may be the best one.
But such an excellent him still can't be compared with you.
As the saying goes, even if no one is perfect, there are 18K gold and 999 gold.
Obviously, Master Kang is the 999 gold, and the fourth master is at most 24K... at most 36K, no more.
Since there is still time now, why not polish him well and make him a better emperor, isn't it?
Such a bold idea emerged in Mo Yu's mind, and for a while he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. When he came to his senses, he successfully scared himself.
Not only him, but also the ministers who had been listening to his thoughts were terrified.
What a joke, Boss!
My Lord Xiaolin! You better take it easy! If you keep going like this, we won't dare to play happily with you anymore.
The main thing is, others are useless when they play, but you are wasting your life here... If the Lord is unhappy, we will all be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and executed.
Please, we still want to eat more melons, but this kind of powerful melon is not worth eating.
The ministers looked at each other, looking ashen, and dared not say a word.
Master Kang's face was not very good, but he still maintained basic decency.
Because he sadly discovered that what the kid from the Lin family said was really right.
During his several southern tours, apart from seeing various dams that were repaired and collapsed, there were also various people who were homeless and had to sleep in the open air.
To be honest, even with all kinds of delicious food, fine wine, and even beautiful women, this inspection trip was not very good.
Who likes to run around?
Of course not.
He also wanted to lie comfortably in his favorite warm room in the imperial palace in the capital, but there was no way.
He was not at ease unless he went out to see his country.
After seeing it, he felt even more disturbed, so he wanted to go out and see it again after a while.
It was like this over and over again, and he couldn't stop.
Even if he didn't want to go, he had to go.
But if there were other ways, it was not impossible to consider it.
As soon as Master Kang had this thought in his mind, he "heard" the clear voice in Mo Yu's heart.
[In fact, if Master Kang wants to know about major events in the world, he doesn't have to go there himself. It is so convenient to build an intelligence network. Besides, there are still many local officials, plus various imperial envoys, ministers, princes, and princes. There are so many resources that can be used. Why does he have to go there himself? ]
[Ning thinks that none of them can do it, and only Ning can do it, or does Ning think that Ning can get the truth of the matter better by coming out in such a high-profile manner than by searching secretly? ]

Hahahaha, it's finally a holiday again! Let's get excited!
Recommending a serialized article by a gay friend, a tough pig-killing girl who travels through a book vs. a sick and weak prime minister who is reborn! Updated daily!
Title: The Prime Minister's Butcher's Tough Wife
Article ID: 8537982
Copywriter: Jiang Chun became famous for writing a beautiful, strong and tragic character. She was finally going to get rich, but she didn't expect to die unexpectedly.
The good news is that she was reborn.
The bad news is that she traveled into the novel she wrote and became the original wife of the beautiful, strong and tragic male supporting role Song Shi'an, a beautiful and strong pig-killing woman, who was finally put in a pig cage and died because of cheating.
Jiang Chun: "..." Do you want to play me like this? !
Fortunately, I am familiar with the plot I wrote, and I have a sign-in golden finger. Well, there is hope! There is still hope!
Song Shi'an woke up and found that he had returned to his previous life when he was a son-in-law in the Jiang family.
Facing his original wife who would steal his man in the future and make him lose face and become a humiliation in his life, he was cruel enough to strike first!
But who would have thought that this pig-killing girl not only spent a lot of money to adjust his body and take care of him in every way, but also wore a red bellyband and went to the nest in the middle of the night to beg for marriage...
Song Shi'an put away the knife: Wait, let me see what tricks she has.
Mini-drama:
One day Jiang Chun went to a banquet at a certain marquis's mansion, and a group of noble ladies laughed at her in person for her humble origin and being a pig-killing girl who was not presentable.
Jiang Chun decisively rolled up her sleeves and lifted her skirt, punched and kicked them, and beat them so hard that they cried for their parents, as if their husbands had died.
Afterwards, the husbands of these noble ladies found Song Shi'an and asked him to administer justice.
Song Shian said calmly: "I am a son-in-law of the Jiang family. My wife is in charge of me, but I have no right to be in charge of my wife. I am sorry that I am incompetent."
Everyone: "..."
When there is something wrong, he is the son-in-law of the Jiang family. When there is nothing wrong, he is the chief minister of the inner cabinet and the uncle of the emperor, right?
