Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Chapter 267

For seven days in a row, Li Xie and Yunyao sorted out the accounts from the 30th year of Kangxi to the 37th year of Kangxi. He went to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day, and looked at the accounts in a regular manner every day. Time Lixie didn't find fault, so they put their hearts on the ground, thinking that Lixie must be pretending.

May [-]th is the day of Yinhu's big wedding, so there is a day off from Xie on this day, no matter how bad they are with Yinhu, they are real brothers, and they still have to attend the younger brother's wedding.

At night, Yunyao and Lixie talked about Yinhu's wedding, and suddenly they talked about Guo Luoluo Mingzhu, which is the historical Eight Fortune Jin Guo Luoluo clan.

Because of Guo Luoluo Mingzhu's refusal to get married, she had a bit of trouble with Guo Luoluo's family and Prince An's mansion. In the end, she simply moved to another village outside the city and went to Shanhua Temple to worship Buddha every day. See through the world of mortals.

This incident caused a bit of a stir in the capital, and it even reached the ears of people like Yun Yao who don't leave home.

"Lixie, do you think that Guo Luoluo Mingzhu's reluctance to marry has something to do with the eighth child?" Yunyao didn't know whether the Guo Luoluo clan in this time and space had any relationship with Yinhu, but because of the Guo Luoluo clan's name, she Doing such a thing again, she has reason to suspect that Guo Luoluo and Yinhu are secretly plotting against Chen Cang.

Li Xie turned around and raised his eyebrows: "It's possible, that guy Yinhu should be very popular with women. After he gets married, there might be all kinds of ghosts and monsters in his backyard."

In the last year's draft, Yinhu was given Di Fujin and Side Fujin. Generally speaking, Fang Fujin entered the door first, but Yinhu did not agree. He must give full respect to his wife.

Li Xie secretly thought in his heart, fortunately, Kangxi didn't care whether his son would marry another Fujin after his son married his wife Fujin. Concubine De was even more eccentric, and hadn't cared about the situation of the women in the fourth master's backyard, otherwise it would be a difficult problem for the two of them to come.

The next day, at Babeile's house next door, there were lights and festoons, and there was a lot of people's voices. Not too many people came to help. Yinzhen and others who were originally locked up were also released as a special case to attend Yinhu's wedding for a day.

Zhijun Wang, Sanbeile, Wubeile, Qibeile and others have a good relationship with Yinhu. Everyone is helping Babeile's mansion. She is very popular.

The prince arrived in the middle of the afternoon, and he came with the concubine Guarjia, but after they came, they just met the groom Guan Yinhu at the Babeile mansion, and sat for a while before the couple ran away Came to the Four Baylor Mansion.

Li Xie and Yun Yao were a little surprised when they saw the two of them. To be honest, in this time and space, the brotherhood between the fourth master and the prince is not deep, it's just better than outsiders.

The prince is only 24 years old, at the prime of his life, but he is not as vigorous as he should be at this age. His situation is worse than the fourth master's.

"Fourth, what kind of tea do you drink? You're not a man at all, do you have any wine?" As soon as he came, he sat down on the stone bench in the yard without being polite at all.

At this time the sun was setting, although the sun was not as hot as noon, but the flowers and plants in the yard had been exposed to the sun for a day, and their leaves were drooping, and they were no longer as lively as in the morning.

Yunyao greeted the crown princess, this was her first close contact with the Guerjia family, after the Guerjia family was married to the crown prince, she was secretly trained/taught by the nanny sent by Kangxi For more than a year, every move, every word and deed, she is a model of women in the Qing Dynasty.

"I'm disturbing the fourth sibling." Guarjia smiled at Yunyao, with her hands on her knees and a standard sitting posture.She was actually a little embarrassed in her heart. Although they were sisters-in-law, they hadn't had much contact with each other. They came to Sibeiler's mansion even though they were attending the eighth brother's wedding. Isn't this causing trouble for the fourth brother and the fourth sibling?

Yunyao didn't stop pouring tea, she carried the teapot, poured tea into the teacup in front of Guarjia, raised her head and smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are welcome, they are all from my own family, there is no such thing as disturbing disturb."

The two women talked politely and kindly, and the atmosphere between Li Xie and the prince was not so called tense.

The prince wanted to drink, but Li Xie sipped the tea on his own, and said slowly: "There is no wine, just this tea, whether you like it or not." He would not entertain the prince with wine, and would go to the next door for a wedding , if the crown prince drank too much and caused troubles and implicated him, wouldn't it be beautiful?

The prince stared, never expecting that the fourth brother is such a fourth brother, he stared at Li Xie without blinking, Li Xie was not affected by his gaze, and the prince didn't look away until he finished drinking a cup of tea.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed: "Good tea, I didn't drink wine, this tea is enough."

Of course it is good tea, this is the benefit of Lixie working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the past seven days. All the tributes to the emperor are top-quality tea, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs can always keep some of them, so now all of them are being used by Lixie for personal gain.

After a long time, the prince suddenly asked: "Fourth brother, are you willing?"

It was a nonsensical question, but Li Xie understood what he meant, he glanced at the prince, shrugged: "Second brother just take care of his own affairs, I know my affairs well."

The prince sneered, the fourth child, the eighth child, and the ninth child are in the same situation, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties, it is much harder for one person to fight alone, why not the two of them together?

But the crown prince is a proud person, since Li Xie had rejected it so clearly, how could he bring up the matter of cooperation again?

Next, the two drank tea and chatted occasionally, until the sound of suona, gongs and drums came from the next door, and Yinhu and the wedding team set off to Suozhuoluo's house to welcome the bride.

This grand wedding was so grand that the people in the capital city hadn't seen it for many years. There were many people watching the excitement on the way to welcome the relatives. When we set off, the sunset was brilliant for half of the sky.

After worshiping at the auspicious time, Yunyao and her six sisters-in-law went to the new house. After they arrived, the groom had already uncovered the bride's red hijab and left to toast in front.

Yinhu smiled and asked all the sister-in-laws to be merciful and don't be too strict with his wife.

Yun Yao thought to herself, this guy seems to have improved psychologically, and she didn't show any abnormal behavior after seeing her.

The bride, Suo Zhuo Luo Ai Lanzhu, was dressed in a red wedding dress, with a shy expression on her face, and her hands clenched together, all of which showed that she, a newlywed, was very shy and nervous today.

A beautiful girl, but it's a pity that she got stuck in the head of the time-traveling boy Yinsi.

The sisters-in-law did not stay in the new house for a long time. After about two quarters of an hour, the people in the new house dispersed, and Yun Yao, the princess and Da Fujin broke up at the second gate, and they left the Babeile mansion directly .

The Crown Princess also left directly, Yun Yao watched the Crown Princess leave at the gate of the Babeile Mansion, and then returned to the mansion.

Not long after, Li Xie also came back. Like Yun Yao, he personally watched the prince get into the carriage at the door, and then came back.

"You didn't fight with Yinzhen, did you?" Yinzhen and Yin'e were released temporarily, and with Yinzhen's temper, he would never let Li Xie go.

Li Xie sneered: "He really wants to, that stare at me has already killed me several times." But that guy has grown up, he used to be quite happy, but now he knows how to bear it.

Put aside the matter of Yinhu and Yinyu for the time being, Yinhu wants to make trouble for him, he welcomes it very much, he is not afraid of anyone making trouble for him, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers.

The House of Internal Affairs, from the minister in charge, to the principal, the clerk, etc., was all worried about Li Xie's big move, but after Yinhu got married, Li Xie was late for work and left early. Hailaxun and the others breathed a sigh of relief by not showing up at the Ministry of Internal Affairs all day, silently thinking that the so-called hard work of the fourth master was just a whim.

In the imperial palace, in the imperial study room, when Kangxi was tired of reviewing the memorials, he asked Li Dequan to report various news from the harem and the capital. Due to the lazy style of the fourth son before, Kangxi paid attention to the situation of the fourth son every day these days.

After working hard for seven days, Kangxi still felt relieved, but on the ninth day, he reverted to his old ways. However, Kangxi was very patient. He didn't ask Xuan Si son to question him immediately. He wanted to know how lazy he could be. the point?

Then, five days passed, ten days passed, and half a month passed. The fourth son went fishing for three days and dried the nets for two days. Was he certain that he, a father, couldn't do anything to him?

Lixie, who is defined by everyone as lazy and inactive, spent half a month investigating all the Baoyi families affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and also investigated the personal connections of each family, especially the big ones. The women of the Baoyi family are in the backyard of the imperial palace or the clan or the Eight Banners. It is very interesting to have a few backyards.

Tomorrow is the big Asahi, Li Xie plans to go to court, this is his first time to go to court after coming here, who made the morning court so early?

Yunyao thought secretly, maybe after tomorrow, there will be many more people wishing Li Xie Pai Si Ye to die, maybe some people would dare to take the risk, then Li Xie would dare to kill one by one, or both two.

At this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and all the officials and wealthy businessmen who are involved with the Ministry of Internal Affairs are sleeping soundly at night. Li Xie's deeds during this period are enough to make them feel at ease: it seems that the fourth master came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a mascot Well, as long as he doesn't interfere with the operation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and doesn't oppose them, it doesn't matter if he gets a share of the good things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

# # #

The early court starts around Maoshi, but the officials who live far away from the palace may have to get up at Yinshi, rush to the Meridian Gate, and then rest and wait for a while. Hall, the emperor then arrived.

Sibeile's mansion is not far from the imperial palace. It takes less than half an hour to walk, less than a quarter of an hour to ride a horse, and less than two quarters of an hour to ride a carriage. The time of the mansion is just like the moment of Yin time.

At this time, there are stars above the head, the crescent crescent hangs on the willow branches, only the main streets are scattered with some lanterns on the street, and the lanterns hung in front of the carriage drive in the darkness in a trance.

Less than a quarter of an hour before leaving Mao, the guards at the Meridian Gate were about to close the gate, and another carriage stopped in front of them in a trance. The guards wondered, who is it, who dares to arrive so late?

Li Xie straightened his clothes and jumped out of the carriage. He turned around and told the coachman and two attendants to wait here and watch the things in the carriage. They were treasures that would be handed in later.

The driver is called Lao Huang, and the two attendants are young men who are taking over from Fu Ming and Lu Fei. Naturally, they are not as smart as Lu Fei and Fu Ming, but they are very malleable and obedient. They are worthy of training. Can be of great use.

The eyeballs of the guards all fell to the ground. This is the first time the fourth elder brother has gone to court in the past three months. Has the sun come out from the west?

When all the ministers saw Li Xie, their eyeballs dropped all over the floor. The ministers who were still dozing off suddenly woke up and looked at Li Xie in disbelief, as if they were looking at something rare.

Li Xie glanced at the people in the room, then walked towards Hirazon.As the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Hirazon is a second-rank official, so he is naturally qualified to go to court.

Hirazon shuddered, his whole mind lifted, he quickly saluted Li Xie with a smile, Li Xie waved his hand, and saluted casually.

Li Xie said casually: "Master Hai doesn't seem to want to see me?"

Hai Laxun's face froze, he almost stuttered, and quickly said: "Fourth master was joking, this slave can't bear it. This slave pays respects to Fourth master."

Li Xie raised his eyebrows, and looked at Hirazon with a half-smile, which made Hirazon feel hairy.

Zhijun Wang, Sanbeile, Wubeile, Qibeile, and Babeile were all very surprised when they saw Li Xie, as if he hadn't gone to court since the fourth brother shot the birds in the old eight's house with a cold arrow. , running up to the court so suddenly, it seems that something is going to happen!

Yinhu's heart was shocked. Recently, the behavior of the fourth brother has been discussed secretly by everyone. It's not that no one inquired about what the fourth brother was doing, but they couldn't find out.

Suddenly, Yinhu's heart skipped a beat, as if the two confidantes of the fourth brother hadn't seen anyone for a while, where did Fu Ming and Lu Fei go?

When the bell rang, all the ministers straightened their skirts, patted their cheeks, filed out, and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony neatly.

When it was Hirazon's turn, Hirazon looked at Li Xie eagerly, and Li Xie signaled him to go first, and he just followed behind, time was waiting for no one, Hirazon didn't dare to say anything, so he had to go In front of Lixie.

There was nothing terrible recently, so there was no disturbance at the court meeting. Kangxi asked various departments one by one, the Ministry of Officials and the six departments of the Ministry of Households, and praised Wu Baylor and Qi Baylor with satisfaction. It's done very well, and now the capital has begun to divide streets and start building cement roads.

The warm atmosphere made the courtiers forget about Li Xie's sudden visit to court.Li Xie stood behind Hirazon, and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't pay much attention to it. Kangxi never saw Li Xie from the beginning to the end.

Until Kangxi turned his eyes to the House of Internal Affairs and saw the people behind Hirazon, he still felt dazzled. Although the sky was bright now, the light in the hall was actually not very clear.

"Yinzhen, why did you run behind Hirazon?" Kangxi opened his eyes wide. No matter which department the emperor works in, they should stand together when they go to court, so that it is convenient for Kangxi and the ministers to watch.

Li Xie raised his drooping head, and everyone in the hall looked at him. He took a step forward to reveal his figure, and then said: "My son works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no problem."

The ministers looked at Li Xie as if he was a fool, Li Xie was noncommittal.

Among the ancients of the feudal dynasty, his maverick style seemed novel, but in the eyes of the ministers, he was an unreliable prince.

One step beyond society is a genius, two steps beyond society is a lunatic, Li Xie is now known as a lunatic.

"My son has nothing to say." After saying that, he retreated directly behind Hirazon. Hirazon felt that the gaze he absorbed was too stinging, and it made his heart ache. He is also getting old, or he should just retire Forget it, with fourth master around, he can't live a peaceful life.

Kangxi withdrew his gaze and continued to care about court affairs, as if he wasn't the one who was shocked just now.

There is nothing important about the great court meeting, and the court usually disperses around Si time, but today the great court meeting ended a little earlier, almost at the end of the hour, and the court meeting ended.

The ministers left the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the order close to the door, and Li Xie followed Hirazon out of the hall. Hirazon straightened his shoulders, but he didn't know that Li Xie behind him had already turned sideways to the Qianqing Palace after leaving the hall The king of Zhijun and the crown prince who stayed at the end came out humbly, but they didn't see Lixie.

"Lord Hai, where's the fourth child?" King Zhijun walked quickly, walked behind Hirazon, and patted Hirazon on the shoulder.

Hai Laxun is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is Kangxi's private treasury and has a good relationship with many people in the court. He has a good relationship with Zhijun King because his concubine married into the Nalan family, and as a Concubine.Although his son-in-law is only a fatherless and motherless son-in-law of a branch of the Nalan family, the son-in-law is a decent Manchu, he is a slave in a coat, and his grandson and granddaughter are serious masters, and they are no longer slaves in a coat. .

In this way, based on the marriage relationship, Hirazon has a good relationship with many powerful officials.Although he will not betray some of the emperor's secrets, he can also give convenience to the allies at certain times.

Hai Laxun looked back and heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was the Prince of Zhijun, he shook his head blankly: "Didn't the fourth master always follow behind the servant? Where is he?"

The king of Zhijun, the crown prince and others looked at each other in blank dismay, Yinhu felt something bad, the fourth brother might go to the Qing Palace, right?

Li Xie had just arrived at the Qianqing Palace at this time, and Kangxi just changed his clothes. Li Dequan was arranging for the maid to present a meal. Seeing this, Li Xie said, "Director Li, prepare one for me too."

Li Dequan agreed with a smile, and then he heard the fourth master say: "I got up too early, I have no appetite, I will be hungry now."

Li Dequan: "..."

When Kangxi came in from the side hall, he saw his fourth son sitting there leisurely in the imperial study, happily eating fruits from a plate.

Kangxi looked a little dazed. If the fourth son was doing something wrong, his strict words and deeds were challenging the etiquette, but he was asked to point it out, but he felt that he was making a fuss. It didn't make sense for his son to eat a piece of fruit from him, and he would punish him for not following the rules. Him?

No, what is he thinking?It's not a good thing for the fourth child to be appointed!

After Kangxi thought about it, he decided to ignore him for the time being, and deal with his son's troubles when he was full and refreshed!

Li Xie saw that Kangxi didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, he didn't say anything, the maid brought the meal, and the two of them had their breakfast quietly.

The imperial study room was very quiet for a while, and Li Dequan thought silently, why did he find this scene so warm?What the hell he is!

No, Li Dequan suddenly remembered, it seems that the eunuch who had just passed the singing outside the palace of the Qing Dynasty did not pass the report, right?And what about the guards?Why didn't they stop Si Baylor?

It was said that the eunuch was wronged, and he wanted to report it, but he was frightened by Si Baylor. When he came back to his senses, Si Baylor had already fought with the guards, and the row of guards were all beaten to the ground by Si Baylor.

Then the four Baylors had already entered the imperial study, and he felt that it would be pointless to report at this time.

Li Dequan glanced at the emperor, seeing that the emperor hadn't thought of it, so he didn't talk much about it.Even if Si Ye's behavior was heard by the censor, he would be regarded as a treasonous act. Now, in this scene, it is obvious that Si Bei Le did not come to assassinate the emperor, anyway, he is a father and son.

After a quarter of an hour, the maids left with their trays.

Kangxi looked at Lixie, wondering if you can bear it?As a result, Li Xie didn't intend to compete with Kangxi for patience, he got up directly and said, "Huang Ama, I'm here to report my work at the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this month."

"Are you here to report on work?" Kangxi obviously didn't believe it.

Faced with Kangxi's disbelieving eyes, Lixie nodded, and took out a stack of papers from his sleeve. This was all statistical work done by himself. Anyway, Yinhu had already reformed the accounting, and there were forms of various natures. , he used it directly, which would not arouse Yinhu's suspicion.

"Huang Ama, my son thinks you are really being taken advantage of, even bigger than Lao Jiu." Li Xie looked at Kangxi and said in a loud voice.

Li Dequan couldn't help laughing out loud, Kangxi glanced at Li Dequan sharply, Li Dequan took a step back silently, lowering his sense of existence, Kangxi was very blocked, what can he do?This is his son!

"Tell me, why am I being taken advantage of?" Kangxi said indifferently, unable to explain why, he deducted the salary of the fourth child and asked him to drink the northwest wind!

Li Xie coughed, and began to seriously report to work: "I have read all the accounts of Huang Ama since he became the throne. Of course, it is not the credit of the minister alone. Ulanara's help is also indispensable to her."

It's really shameless, and I give myself the credit that I can't deny!

"According to the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year, Huang Ama has already spent 150 million taels. Last year, the total consumption was 300 million taels, which meant that the Ministry of Internal Affairs spent an average of 25 taels per month last year. This year, it only took four months. , that is to say, the average monthly cost of this year is 12 taels more than last year, and I will wipe out the odds for you. Of course, I calculated that the Wanshou Festival in March costs a lot, even if the extra cost of the Wanshou Festival is excluded 20 taels, I am afraid that this year’s monthly expenses will not be less than 30 taels.”

Li Xie compares each year with the previous year, and then adjusts the price of the year. Although the price has risen and dropped, the overall price has increased, but the growth rate of the money spent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is at least five times faster than the price. times.

Kangxi turned serious, and his expression became a little serious.

Li Xie stated the growth ratio of Kangxi from 30 to 36 years, and also stated his expenditure calculated according to the prices of the year. The expenditure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is increasing every year, and it does not follow the normal growth rate. Then there are articles here.

Li Dequan's back felt cold, so he said that it would be no good for Fourth Master to go to the House of Internal Affairs, no, all the staff of the House of Internal Affairs will suffer!

"Fourth, come here. I don't quite understand what year-on-year growth rate you're talking about." Kangxi clenched his fists. How could he remember the words of anger with his son, so he quickly called his son to come closer. So that I can thoroughly understand the accounting issues he mentioned.

Kangxi's western studies are not bad, although it is a bit difficult for him to calculate the year-on-year growth rate by himself, but Li Xie explained Yixi in detail, and he understood.

"Are you counting every year?" This is a big project. Could it be that he is counting this because he hasn't appeared in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the past half month?

Li Xie nodded. Counting from the year when Kangxi ascended the throne, he found the information fed back by these numbers extremely interesting. He was fascinated with Yunyao for a while, and almost brought the account books from the Shunzhi period as well. Computing the accounts of the Shunzhi period, we can see the people's livelihood level during the Shunzhi period from the figures.

"However, these are only the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There must be a lot of registered quantities in the accounts. If the accounts of the harem are used to check the quantities, there will be more omissions in the middle."

Kangxi was thoughtful, and asked Li Dequan to find out the account books of the harem over the years. He didn't plan to do more calculations, so he calculated the accounts of this year and last year to see if the actual usage was less than the registered usage.

However, Prince Zhijun, Crown Prince, Sanbeile, Wubeile, Babeile and others did not go out of the palace, they all went to their respective mothers' palaces to have breakfast, and they asked someone to inquire again, is the fourth child in Qianqing Palace?

When they knew that the fourth child was indeed in Qianqing Palace, Zhijun Wang, the prince and others were still thinking about why the fourth child was looking for Huang Ama?In the past half a month, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fourth child has not done a good job, so what can he do?Report an errand?How do you report the errands when you don't do anything?

The heart in Yinhu's heart fell to the ground, and the fourth brother must have pointed out to Huang Ama that the Ministry of Internal Affairs cheated, lied about expenses, lied about prices, and so on.

The author has something to say: I will definitely update it sooner tomorrow, good night~(^з^)-☆
