"I'm just letting Little Thirteen cultivate his mind and character for a period of time, what? Do those stupid slaves from the Ministry of Internal Affairs even dare to bully my son? Do you think your head is too heavy?"
The emperor was furious and everyone was shocked. At that moment, the whole Qianqing Palace could only hear the sound of gasping for air.
The fourth master's goal was achieved, and his expression seemed a little weird. Huang Ama just said that he screamed for beating and killing. Wasn't the same for his old man?
Just when Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he wanted to call all the slaves over, suddenly, Li Dequan came into the room and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Babeile is bringing the stewards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with him. , knelt down at the gate of Qianqing Palace, saying that he came especially to apologize."
After hearing this, the Fourth Master and Emperor Kangxi looked at each other.
The fourth master then lowered his head and remained silent.
However, Emperor Kangxi had a look of understanding on his face: "Let him come in."
Not long after, I saw the eighth prince coming in with a solemn expression. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a plop:
"Huang Ama, I am guilty!
Yesterday, I just learned that these dog slaves were so bold that they dared to delay my thirteenth brother's winter share.
The son felt extremely guilty, feeling that he could not live up to Emperor Ama's entrustment and the brotherhood with Thirteen.
I have come here to apologize to Emperor Ama." He kowtowed directly.
The fourth master glanced at him and thought to himself that this old man is still a old man. He almost believed what he said!
Immediately, he went to look at Emperor Kangxi's face again, and saw that Emperor Kangxi didn't seem to have a very pleasant expression. The fourth master felt relieved at that.
After waiting for a while, Emperor Kangxi said: "Old man, do you mean to say that you don't know about this matter at all?
The Eighth Prince kowtowed and said: "Huang Ama, I really don't know!
I have committed a crime of negligence and feel ashamed of the many years of teachings of Emperor Ama and of my own brother. Today, I beg Emperor Ama to take over the post of head of the Internal Affairs Bureau of I."
As he spoke, he looked at Emperor Kangxi with a slightly stubborn look in his eyes, obviously his mind had been made up.
Emperor Kangxi was quite surprised when he saw the Eighth Master like this.
Emperor Kangxi asked himself that he still knew something about this old man. He valued power more than other princes, probably because his biological mother's status was slightly lower.
How could he actually ask Yingfang to give up the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a big piece of meat, and I don’t know how many people are watching it.
That he could take the initiative to say such a thing showed that he was quite sincere, and most of the anger in Emperor Kangxi's stomach suddenly disappeared.
At the moment, his eyes were flowing back and forth between the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master. After thinking about it secretly, he said: "In that case, then it is as you said."
Then Emperor Kangxi looked at the Fourth Master again: "Fourth, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be handed over to you for the time being."
After hearing this, the two people who knelt down were shocked.
Brother Ba's fists clenched almost subconsciously.
Before coming in, he had made such a guess, but he didn't expect that Huang Ama actually handed over the Ministry of Internal Affairs to his fourth brother.
Just after a second thought, his hand slowly relaxed again.
The fourth brother in the previous life actually had nothing in his hands, but didn’t he still gain the throne in the end?
He could see clearly that Huang Ama did not want an ambitious son who was a threat to him.
Then, I am the unambitious and most filial son.
There are still more than ten years before Huang Ama's death. There will be a lot of time in the future for power, and he is not in a hurry.
In fact, Fourth Master has no intention of taking over the Ministry of Internal Affairs at all.
He already had too many things on his hands, including the household affairs, and he also had to investigate the affairs of the prince and Thirteen.
Nian Gengyao recently took over as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and also encountered some troubles.
The floods in the Yellow River have been weighing heavily on his mind, and Huang Ama has recently asked him to deal with miscellaneous matters.
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is taken over now, Fourth Master feels that it is really not a good thing.
He is a prince himself and holds such great power. Wouldn't others be dissatisfied with him?
At that moment, the Fourth Master immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have too many things on my hands right now.
If we take over the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to take care of it, so I'd like to ask Emperor Ama to choose another capable person."
Emperor Kangxi frowned: "Is there anything you need to do personally? Know people and make good use of them. Do you know the truth?
It’s just to take care of some things, how much energy do you need?”
The Fourth Master was not sure for a moment what Emperor Kangxi meant. It would not be a good thing to give so many rights to a prince.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still clasped his fists and said: "I must pay attention to the errands that Huang Ama entrusted to my son. It's just that my heart is a little weak now. Huang Ama, you should consider other brothers.
"
Emperor Kangxi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Then who do you think is more suitable?"
The eighth prince looked directly at the fourth master, obviously wanting the fourth master to speak.
The fourth master said: "Huang Ama, now it's time for the younger brothers to get some exercise. Xiao Twelve has a kind-hearted nature, but is diligent and down-to-earth. I think he can give it a try."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi glanced at the Fourth Master in surprise.
I originally thought that the candidate for the fourth child should be chosen from among the few boys who follow him on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, he chose Xiao Twelve, who had a relatively normal relationship with him.
However, Emperor Kangxi thought about it and shook his head gently, "Twelve is still young after all. I'm afraid he won't be able to control those old fritters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The Fourth Master then cupped his fists and said: "Huang Ama, Lao Liu has not been so busy with the things he has been doing recently. If not, let Lao Liu assist Xiao Twelve, and my subordinates will also give guidance. Even if it doesn't work, there is also
Where is the eighth brother?"
As he spoke, Fourth Master's eyes turned to Eighth Prince again, his face not showing it, but the coldness in his eyes was clear to only the two of them.
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi nodded: "Well, tell me that Lao Liu and Xiao Twelve will come to see me immediately."
Then Emperor Kangxi looked at the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master, and suddenly sighed and said: "You... alas!
I don’t know what you think of the word brother.
If I were to tell you, it would just be a few commonplace words, which would be quite boring, and you might not be able to listen to them.
But I still want to tell you, never do anything that hurts each other. The words "blood is thicker than water" are not just words.
When you get older or when you reach the end of your life, you will know how much you regret."
As he spoke, Emperor Kangxi seemed to be in a trance.
If Kangxi also wanted to persuade him, how could he not know that both the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master were smart people?
