Chapter 174 Holding You in Public
"That's right! It's fine that the Royal Mother favors the Fifth Brother, but why is she partial to Sister-in-law Nine and not Grandpa and Brother Nine!" Yin Yang felt wronged and looked at Wen Yao with envy, "Sister-in-law Nine, your brother is jealous of you!"
"People as charming as me are bound to be envied. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm used to it, your ninth sister-in-law," Wen Yao said with a smug look on her face. "Even Chang Ying of Zhongcui Palace is jealous..." She then talked about what happened to Concubine Gao when she encountered Chang Ying.
[It happened to my fifth sister-in-law, too. She said it was to let me practice, so she told my mother but not me. My fifth sister-in-law is indeed... the eldest sister-in-law!] Wen Yao smiled, but she could still put on some eye drops in front of Yinzhen and Yin?!
Wen Yao decided that she could push in the direction of White Lotus and Green Tea again and take another step forward.
Yin? raised his eyebrows. The Fifth Sister-in-law is the eldest sister-in-law? That's right, she is the eldest sister-in-law who works for Concubine Yimu. The Fifth Sister-in-law is a bad person, but she doesn't seem to be completely bad. She is scheming, but she doesn't seem to be very powerful. She is not scheming, but she seems to be a little bit. She is a good person, but she doesn't seem to be that good. In short, Yin? feels that there is nothing he can remember about the Fifth Sister-in-law.
Yinzhen did not comment on his fifth sister-in-law, "You should be more careful in the future. Don't believe everything you hear. Don't let others lead you by the nose. People praise you in front of others and scold you behind your back!"
Wen Yao took a bite of green vegetables, swallowed it, and then said, "This is something that Chang agreed to do. Your wife is still very smart."
"Heh," Yinzhen chuckled, full of contempt, and put some fried bean curd skin in Wenyao's bowl, "Being smart doesn't mean you won't be led by the nose. If Chang promised to talk about how miserable and wronged he is when he saw you, would someone like you not sympathize with him?"
"..." Wen Yao ate the fried bean curd skin and took a bite with the sauce. "I can still feel sympathy, but I didn't do anything."
[It's just a bit of talking, what's the big deal? After all, I'm still not able to tell the truth from the false at a glance, so it's okay to be led by the nose, just don't do anything.] Wen Yao listened to the news everywhere, and when she heard the climax, she naturally got involved, but she also stayed a little detached to keep her rationality, so that she could get along with everyone and then hear other news.
"You have so many excuses," Yinzhen felt that what he said made some sense, "Then why don't you do anything? Or should I help you vent your anger?"
"I have vented my anger. I have exposed Chang Da Ying in front of the Emperor," Wen Yao mentioned this matter when she saw Kangxi in the Yiku Palace. Such an impression of Chang Da Ying has been exposed in Kangxi's mind. As long as Rong Fei promotes Chang Da Ying, it will be a two-birds-with-one-stone move, and Rong Fei will also leave a worse impression on Kangxi.
Sometimes revenge does not require real weapons; just a few words can achieve unexpected results.
"Ninth sister-in-law did a good job. If you are bullied, you have to bully back. Otherwise, it will be so aggrieved," Yin nodded vigorously. This is the right thing to do.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and after they had eaten, they walked around the princes' residence. They found the thirteenth and fourteenth princes who were punished to copy scriptures late at night, and then they went to provoke the twelfth and fifteenth princes. It was a pity that the sixteenth prince, Yinlu, and Xiao Dundun, were not in the princes' residence, otherwise it would have been even more lively.
Wen Yao first returned to the prince's own bedroom, while Yinzhen and Yin? went to the Qianqing Palace. Kangxi did not call for them, and he was not surprised at all about the arrival of Yinzhen and Yin?.
I heard Yinzhen and Yin? talk about Gao Shiqi's family and several very honest court officials, such as Yu Chenglong and Zhang Boxing.
Kangxi was not too surprised, but was a little surprised about Gao Yong, "Young husband?"
He really didn't know much about it.
Yinzhen said, "Your Majesty, are you hesitating? Your Majesty, do you know what Gao Shiqi and Xu Qianxue did?" Yinzhen saw that Kangxi was not surprised at all about the corruption, so he asked.
Yinzhen glanced at his tenth brother, how could he say that? It would be better not to ask, just wait and see what the emperor says. It must be said that it is really enjoyable to watch the show!
Kangxi didn't even raise his eyelids, "Baocheng, what do you think?" Baocheng didn't go back either. He originally wanted to return to Yuqing Palace, but was stopped by Kangxi. The prince was wondering what was going on. After all, Kangxi kept it mysterious and didn't say anything!
Now I know that it was my ninth brother's wife who investigated corrupt officials. In addition to Xu Qianxue and Gao Shiqi, there are many others. They have been noted down. However, some corrupt officials are capable and will not be punished!
Now I can tell Yinzhi tomorrow that I was kept by the Emperor and stayed until very late to discuss court affairs!
The prince felt more and more proud as he thought about it. When he heard his royal father asking questions, he thought about what Yinzhen had just asked.
"Xu Qianxue was dealt with secretly, and it couldn't be made public. After all, the emperor asked Xu Qianxue to be responsible for promoting the 'Manchu orthodoxy', and Gao Shiqi also participated in it. Neither of them could be dealt with publicly. Xu Qianxue is dead. As for the Gao family," the prince looked at his own emperor, "Imperial father, there is no need to keep the Gao family now, right?"
"The dog will be abandoned after the rabbit is dead?" Kangxi looked at the prince and gave him a deep look. "Baocheng, what do you think should be done with the Gao family?"
Crown Prince Yinreng was a little hesitant. The Gao family completed many things that the emperor father wanted to do in secret, such as the implementation of many policies. Not everyone will benefit. Every time there will be people who damage their interests and will be opposed. At this time, people who are too upright are not needed. People like Gao Shiqi and Xu Qianxue are needed to do it!
"Your Majesty, I think we should punish the Gao family, but we can't do it according to the law. If we don't punish the Gao family, it will be unfair to those who are persecuted by the Gao family. Other court officials, families, and people are also watching, which is not good for Your Majesty. If the punishment is too harsh, it will also make many court officials, families, and royal family members feel chilled." The prince thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts, "Your Majesty, am I right?"
"Why do you feel so guilty?" Kangxi looked at Baocheng, the boy he had raised, and saw that he was always cautious in his responses. He didn't notice it before, but after hearing Concubine Xiaojiu's thoughts and the eldest brother's gradual change, Kangxi also carefully observed his Baocheng. He found that he was always cautious in his responses!
"You said it very well," Kangxi looked at his own Baocheng and gave a positive answer, "According to your idea, if what Gao Yong did is confirmed, how do you think the Gao family should be dealt with and how should Gao Shiqi be arranged?"
Yin? did not say anything, but stood aside with Yinzhen, watching the show secretly. The two of them moved quietly to a chair and sat down.
The Crown Prince was the only one who was anxious in the Qianqing Palace, and he did not notice that Yinzhen and Yin? were watching the show leisurely. However, Kangxi noticed it and felt that the two were a bit of an eyesore at the moment.
"I think that Gao Yong should be punished severely, while Gao Shiqi's merits should be offset. As for the Gao family, some of their power should be taken back, and they should be punished leniently for corruption and other crimes," the prince thought for a while, "Gao Shiqi has six or seven sons, and Gao Yong is not a problem. If Gao Yong is guilty, he should be executed directly!"
