Suo'etu's wishful thinking was in vain, and he did not expect Cui Weiya to be such a mediocre person. Now that Kangxi has read the minutes of the meeting, he hastily recruited Jin Fu and Chen Huang to Beijing. If they are not brought down at this time, it may be too late. Ethan thinks that the opportunity can wait for a while, and the top priority should be to attract some courtiers who know a little about river affairs. Focusing on cultivating power will definitely make the emperor afraid.
Ethan'a still reported the results of the river survey in an emphatic way, and suggested that Jin Fu, Chen Huang, and the officials of the lower river be severely punished, their property confiscated, and compensation for the repair project. Kangxi didn't listen at all, and dismissed Ethan'a in a few words, and marked Cui Weiya's writing with the word "disappointment". Mingzhu laughed when she saw this.
When the morning court was over, Yu Zhenjia knelt outside the door to ask for a face saint, but he didn't get a response, so he broke into the hall directly. Kangxi did not lose his temper because of this, but reprimanded him for thinking that risking his life to protect the embankment was a heroic act, but in fact he cared about his own reputation and did not care about the lives of the people at all.
It's a pity that Yu Zhenjia was stubborn and didn't realize his fault at all. At this moment, Suo'etu reported that the plague had spread to Shandong and Anhui, and no one in the court and the field was willing to deliver medicine and food. Yu Zhenjia recommended himself when he heard the words, and repeatedly interrupted when Kangxi was talking with Suo'etu, Kangxi was dissatisfied with it and ordered him to get out.
When Yu Zhenjia left, he dropped the soles of his shoes and walked back to his residence barefoot. Suo'etu was ordered to bring him boots that night. However, the next day, Yu Zhenjia actually returned the boots to Kangxi directly, saying that his status was not worthy of owning such good boots.
A few days later, the imperial decree was sent to the Governor's Mansion, calling Jin Fu into the palace to negotiate compensation and select accompanying officials. Jin Fu knew Chen Huang's character and didn't want him to be involved, but Chen Huang questioned that he wanted to go with him, especially when he heard that Shengyi asked him to pay for the construction of the dam.
Now outside the capital city are all three provinces begging refugees, Kangxi brought Yu Zhenjia here in casual clothes, just hoping that he can understand that being an upright official does not mean incorruptibility, but more importantly, fasting for Qingming and justice. Based on what Yu Zhenjia is doing now, he is completely unworthy of being an upright official. When he saw the situation of the refugee aunt, he couldn't help crying.
Jin Fu entered the palace to face the saint, saw Yu Zhenjia standing next to him, and said that he had made a thousand mistakes, the biggest mistake was failing to cut off his dog's head. As soon as this remark came out, Yu Zhenjia furiously accused Jin Fuzhihe of negligence, and the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two dispelled Kangxi's sad mood of wanting to reminisce about the old days.
It is also because Yu Zhenjia is still obsessed with obsession, Kangxi announced that he will be promoted to the joint title of the fourth grade, and he will be given the sword of Shangfang to lead the disaster relief in the three provinces. Kangxi's move was ups and downs, but in fact he used his hands to punish the black sheep, and by the way, he saw clearly the mistakes he had made.
But for Jin Fu, Kangxi has always trusted him, and even asked him why he didn't hand in his self-defense report for so long, obviously because he didn't believe that he could keep him safe. This time the Yellow River broke its embankment, Kangxi believed that Jin Fu's crime would not lead to death, but he was too aggressive, apparently forgetting to control the river and even the long-term great cause. Jin Fu understood Kangxi's good intentions and was deeply moved by it. The misunderstanding between the monarch and his ministers was resolved, and the previous suspicions were resolved.
When Mingzhu and Gao Shiqi were discussing countermeasures, they did not expect Kangxi to come to the door suddenly, so scared that Mingzhu hurriedly hid behind the screen. Kangxi noticed the teacup on the table, calmly mentioned the results of Jin Fu's handling, and ordered Gao Shiqi to lead the report, drafting a purpose and stating the appropriate reasons, so that Jin Fu and Chen Huang could go back and continue to repair it. Xiaojiadu.
After Kangxi left, Gao Shiqi came to the screen and found Mingzhu sitting on a chair in a daze, and then let out a long sigh of relief, saying that they had passed this hurdle and kept the black hat on their heads. On the other side, Yu Zhenjia returned to Taoyuan County with great fanfare, surrounded by the people, and went home to visit his mother.
