Immediately afterwards, Kangxi explained to Yinreng in detail how he punished Yisan A and others, and then told Yinreng in detail how to win over the hearts of the people and make his officials willing to work for him.
Kangxi's purpose was very simple. He wanted Yinreng to take the initiative to build his own team instead of finding fault in the six ministries like a young man.
After reading yesterday's memorial, he was indeed a little angry at first, but after his anger subsided, he felt that Yinreng did it on purpose.
That's why he only asked Yisan and a few others to make up for the shortfall.
There are no other punishments.
If he punished him too severely, everyone in the Ministry of Revenue would probably feel resentment and fear towards Yinreng. If the news got out, no one in the court would dare to get close to the prince. This was not the situation Kangxi wanted.
But if there was no punishment, Yinreng would naturally not be satisfied with such a result after spending several months in the Ministry of Revenue to look at the account books.
In order to appease both sides, Kangxi was exhausted.
However, after this incident, Kangxi had a rough guess about Yinreng's thoughts.
After finishing breakfast, Yinreng stood up and said goodbye.
He still has to go to the Ministry of Personnel to be on duty today.
Kangxi nodded in agreement.
After he left, Kangxi looked at his back for a while. When he was out of sight, he laughed and cursed helplessly.
"Do you think you can avoid becoming the crown prince by offending everyone in the court? What a dream!"
Liang Jiugong pricked up his ears, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
What does His Majesty mean by this?
The prince doesn’t want to be the prince?
Did he hear it right?!
Liang Jiugong tensed his nerves, trying to forget what he had just heard.
However, the harder I tried, the clearer Kangxi's two words became.
On the other side, Yinreng came out of the Qianqing Palace and before he took two steps, he saw Xiao Linzi running towards him, so he stopped.
When he got there, Xiao Linzi bowed.
"My Lord, Lord Suo came to Yuqing Palace early this morning and is still waiting."
Yinreng nodded calmly, then turned and headed straight for Yuqing Palace.
"Your servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as Yinreng walked into the room, Soetu took two quick steps forward and saluted.
"Uncle, there's no need to be so polite. You've come to Yuqing Palace today to discuss the Ministry of Revenue accounts, right?"
Yinreng didn't want to argue with him any further, so he went straight to the point.
Soetu had just gotten up from the ground and hadn't even stood firmly when he heard Yinreng's words. The smile on his face froze instantly.
Obviously, he had never expected Yinreng to be so straightforward.
Suo Etu's expression became a little embarrassed, but it was soon replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
"My Lord, you should have consulted me before submitting this memorial. Minister Zhang Yushu is one of our men. You are targeting one of our own!"
Thinking of the news Yisan'a had given him yesterday, Suo'etu felt even more uncomfortable.
"Besides, Ethan is my son-in-law! I've been trying so hard to win him over for a long time, and now that he's about to give in, aren't you slapping me in the face?!"
Yinreng: “…”
He didn't remember much about it.
The main reason was that Soetu was only two years older than Yisan'a, which made him always ignore the fact that the two of them had such a relationship.
After all, Wu Yunzhu is still his aunt.
It's really like a flower stuck in old cow dung.
Where is the traditional dish of Yisan Ana?
By the way, his and Wu Yunzhu’s son Yiduli seems to be only five years old?
Yinreng's thinking is divergent.
“…Oh my goodness, that’s not how it’s done!”
Soetu almost slapped his thigh to express his pain.
Yinreng came back to his senses, looked at Soetu's fat face full of disapproval, and sighed slowly.
"Uncle, do you want me to protect and condone their corruption and abuse of power?"
Suo Etu's expression froze.
"...That's not what I meant. You have to protect your own people. If you punish them in private, I won't say a word, but please don't tell the emperor!"
"I seem to have told you that I don't need you to win over the officials in the court, right?"
"this……"
Soetu is stuck.
Yinreng stepped forward and patted Suo'etu on the shoulder.
"Uncle, I won't make things difficult for those people you tried to win over before, but I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. To avoid accidentally hurting our own people, I'd better warn them as soon as possible to behave themselves. If I find out anything about them, I won't show them any mercy."
Hearing this, Suo Etu was shocked and thought he was joking.
"Your Highness, are you kidding me?"
Yinreng's mouth corners slightly raised,
"What do you think?"
After saying this, Yinreng raised his foot and was about to walk out.
"I still have to go to the Ministry of Personnel to work, so please do as you please, uncle."
Suo Etu was slightly startled, then quickly followed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! You can't..."
In the end, Soetu was unable to dissuade Yinreng from his idea. His face flushed with anger and he returned to the guard office angrily.
Yinreng understood Soetu.
Soetu was the kind of person who valued interests more than his life, and he was afraid of imperial power.
But not much.
Yinreng repeatedly used Nalan Mingzhu as an example to ask Soetu not to form cliques and win over officials in the court, but he agreed verbally and then forgot about the matter completely.
The biggest reason why he followed Yinreng wholeheartedly was that Yinreng had half the blood of Hesheli.
In his opinion, Yinreng's bloodline meant that he and Hesheli were closely tied together.
