Lord Fourth, Madam Has Tricked You Again

After arriving at Prince Yu's Mansion, the people in the mansion welcomed Kangxi to Fuquan's room.

As soon as Kangxi entered the room, he was assisted in a slavery and sat down by the bed.

He looked at Fuquan, who was lying on the hospital bed, his face was sallow, without a trace of anger.

Obviously, he was lying flat, but sweat oozing out of his forehead, as if he had worked hard.

Kangxi waved his hand and sent all the people in the house away before saying: "Old brother, I'm coming to see you."

As soon as the voice fell, Fuquan opened his eyes slightly.

But he had more than enough energy, and even after a lot of effort, his eyes were only half-squinted.

"Here..." Fuquan said vicissitudes of life.

Seeing him like this, Kangxi's sophisticated eyes suddenly became scarlet.

"Old brother, I'm sorry for you. I knew this a long time ago. I should leave you in the capital and let you spend your old age in peace."

"The minister is too old, and he can't be idle... I like to fight the thieves with the emperor..." Fuquan said weakly, "The emperor is the emperor. Loss, it is the negligence of the minister..."

Kangxi sighed, was silent for a while, and then said: "Neither of our brothers are afraid of death. What we are afraid of is the inexhaustible jackals, tigers and leopards, looking at the great Qing Jiangshan. Now I am also old, early I just put aside life and death, there is only one thing, I want to ask my brother."

"The emperor, please say..."

"In the past, I always felt that I could still fight wars and govern the Qing Dynasty. But since I returned to Beijing, my body and bones became worse every day, and I realized that I needed to establish a prince of good character."

As Kangxi said, he paused slightly, "But those officials in the court have long had their good support. Now these words can only tell you that you have always been unselfish. I want to hear from you. What do you think."

As a heavy court minister, a few years ago, they had their own supporting elder brothers.

If he asks, he might still be the same as a few years ago, most of whom support the old man.

Because the old man is used to win people's hearts.

Even if it is demoted to the common people, there are still many people attached to him.

Therefore, what those people said is not credible.

But what Fuquan said is different.

This is the old brother that Kangxi trusted, and he is also good at his words when he is about to die.

"Since the emperor trusts the minister, the minister wants to recommend Ba Ge." Fuquan took a few breaths.

"Why! It's fine for those officials to be bought by him. Now, are you also bought by him?"

Fuquan shook his head and said: "It's not about buying. It's just that a few years ago, I was seriously ill. When Ba Ge served me at the mansion, I felt his sincerity and filial piety. In addition, there are some things, the minister thought. If you dare to tell the truth, you might...offend the emperor."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The eighth prince grew up when he was a minister. He was both virtuous and capable when he was young. He loved and helped each other with his elder brothers. He was also kind, righteous and kind. Because of this, he was respected and embraced by hundreds of officials and became a prince. Rafters who are in their early days, similarly, these good behaviors are also his shortcomings. If he is really guilty, then it is also a crime of talent and virtue, or virtue and excellence."

At this moment, Fuquan was like those ordinary elders, guarding the Eighth Master.

After all, there are elders who don’t like to be filial and gentle in governance.

Kangxi felt that he could hardly listen anymore.

Fortunately, Fuquan said it was almost done.

Although what Fuquan said, he did offend him.

This is to be replaced by others, Kangxi is going to be furious.

But at this moment, it was not Fuquan's words that angered him.

It's what Fuquan said, which is far from the eighth brother in his heart.

"Brother, it's fortunate that you understand that I, like those officials, were deceived by his gentle appearance!"

Fuquan opened his mouth, wanting to say something for Ba Ye.

Kangxi lightly pressed his shoulder and said: "Don't rush to talk to me first, and listen to me. It's okay for you to talk again."

Fuquan was slightly startled, after all he didn't speak any more.

"You said that eight princes and the princes love each other and help each other. That's just superficial. You know that when the prince was locked in the clan mansion, the prince explicitly asked him to bring a message, but when I asked, he Without mentioning a word, in the end the fourth child told me the truth. Not only that, he also framed the prince many times. Later, he extended his hand to the fourth and fourteenth."

Fu Quan: "..."

"Furthermore, his benevolence and righteousness, I govern people with lenient and benevolence, and he buys people’s hearts with lenient benevolence. I have over-indulged the following, but he is more indulgent than me. Even if his forgiveness is true, he will only Destroy the country of my Qing Dynasty completely!" At the end, Kangxi added: "Especially these years, the treasury has suffered serious losses, and the Qing Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of such people."

When he grows old, what makes Kangxi exhausted the most, but also powerless, is to rectify the administration of officials and fill the treasury.

Over the years, Kangxi has given preferential treatment to the courtiers and brothers who have played with him.

It is simply asking for a house for a house, a car for a car.

A minister wanted a beautiful maidservant to warm his feet. Kangxi was very proud and gave twelve at once.

Not to mention the losses they have caused by borrowing money from the treasury.

In addition, last year's banquet of thousands of old people also cost a lot of money.

These sums of expenditures have caused the treasury to be devastated.

But even if Kangxi knew it, he didn't plan to clean up the mess.

Because those important officials and brothers, since he became the throne, have been fighting with him, and have suffered a lot.

One by one, the friendship with him is no less than that of brothers like Fuquan.

Now it's finally clearing up the prosperous age, he can't pull off this old face, go to collect debts with those brothers, can only open one eye and close one eye.

Moreover, Kangxi is old, and wants to retain the reputation of a benevolent and righteous master in history, and does not want to be too mean to the meritorious officials.

But he doesn't plan to clean up the mess, which does not mean that the mess will never be cleaned up.

Therefore, this arduous task is naturally left to future generations, that is, the new emperor who will be enthroned in the future.

He also deeply understands this, in order to ensure that the Qing Dynasty can survive a hundred years later.

The new successor to the throne must have the courage and ability to deal with the mess he left behind.

To help him plug the holes caused by his "benevolent governance".

However, as far as Kangxi is concerned, Ba Age is simply too benevolent.

If he was allowed to ascend the throne, wouldn't Da Qing go from deficit to destruction.

At this time, Fuquan felt that what Kangxi said was nothing.

He said: "The minister believes that these are not the problems. In terms of dealing with people and things, they can always be changed."

"Well, put those things aside, just talk about other aspects of him. Every time there is a good errand, he and the doormen underneath squeeze their heads to grab it. Whenever encounters a difficult errand, he is vague. Resignation, unwilling to take over. In addition, did you know that this time he tried to rebel against Arabutan, he was all secretly colluding, using his spare power to clear the way for the culprits!"
