Naturally, Fourth Master’s understanding of himself is even better.
He is really outstanding, and he is definitely the son who makes Huang Ama the most worry-free.
Tsk tsk, look, he doesn't make Huang Ama angry, he helps Huang Ama handle political affairs, and even takes care of his old man's meals. He is really a good son.
No wonder Huang Ama was willing to keep him by her side.
However, he only has one, and Yu'er can't live without him, so he can only feel wronged by Huang Amma.
It was so good, it was really difficult, and the fourth master even shook his head at that moment.
As for Emperor Kangxi, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What next?"
The third master lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I went to the place where he lived before, but I couldn't find anyone at all, and I don't know if he has real estate elsewhere.
Very few people nearby knew him, and they were all casual acquaintances.
This person is like a stone sinking into the sea, without a shadow. I have no choice but to suffer the loss of being mute. Emperor Ama, that is hundreds of thousands of taels, I feel sorry for him."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi's chest rose and fell violently, and he said again: "Please explain clearly the cause and effect. How did you know this person?"
After hearing this, the third master suddenly lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Emperor Kangxi threw another memorial on the table at his head: "Say, if you dare to tell a lie, let's see how I deal with you!"
The third master was hit hard. He rubbed his head and said aggrievedly: "Huang Ama, I met him at a poetry gathering.
This man's surname is Tang, and his given name is Zishu. According to what he said...well...or maybe he has been misleading his ministers, he is a descendant of Tang Yin, and he only has one original copy left.
He comes from a poor family and has a gentle manner.
Erchen saw that his life was not going well, and he felt bad in his heart.
At that time, I trusted his character and wanted to make friends with him. I actually bought this painting with the intention of helping him. I thought that with hundreds of thousands taels, his life would be easier, but I didn't expect that he was deceived.
Alright." As he said that, he started grinding his teeth again.
Emperor Kangxi's eyes filled with overwhelming anger: "How unreasonable!" It turned out that his son was not only defrauded of his money, but also defrauded of his feelings!
Then he stood up angrily and pointed at the Third Master and said: "Go and draw this thief right now, and then issue a reward order later. I still don't believe it. I can't catch a thief!"
The Fourth Master looked at Emperor Kangxi, and then at his Third Brother. After waiting for a while, and seeing that the matter was almost settled, and both of them calmed down a bit, he said: "Emperor Ama, in fact, your son and the Third Brother are here today.
Brother, come here with me, there is one more thing I would like to ask Huang Ama for help with."
"Help?" Emperor Kangxi was surprised when he heard these two words.
How long has it been since anyone used the word help to him?
Then he looked at Fourth Master and asked, "Tell me why you are here?"
The fourth master immediately clasped his fists and said: "The third brother Huang Ama actually wants to borrow some money from you.
You also know the situation in his house now.
When he built the academy before, he spent a large amount of money. As a prince, the third brother naturally has a heart for the people of Liming. He said that he wanted to return the money, but because he was temporarily unable to do so, he wanted to marry Emperor Ama
You can borrow some."
Emperor Kangxi twitched his mouth after hearing this. Borrowing money? This is really a rare thing.
But in fact, when he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with handling the matter like this. It was just that he felt it was strange that the money was borrowed from the emperor. These two people were really powerful.
Then I glanced at the third master again, and saw that his head was so low that he almost knocked his head to the ground.
He glanced at the Fourth Master again. He was clasping his fists with a serious expression on his face. He didn't seem to think that anything was wrong with this matter?
Emperor Kangxi frowned and said, "Whose idea was this matter?"
"The fourth child's idea"
"Third brother's idea."
The two said in unison that they had no choice but to accept the other person.
The current appearance of these two people made Emperor Kangxi's face become even more ugly: "What are you doing? You dare to lie in front of me. I see that you two are also trying to get slapped recently!"
The fourth master immediately clasped his fists seriously and said: "Huang Ama, this matter is indeed the third brother's idea.
He also told his son in detail about the money owed by the third brother. Now that the third brother is indeed encountering difficulties, Huang Ama, you might as well help him with some money.
Let him slowly deduct the rest from his salary and return it to Huang Ama.
The second brother, the ninth brother and the tenth brother have all agreed with their son that they will definitely return the money. With the third brother accompanying them, I believe that the courtiers who owe money will have their own considerations in mind.
Emperor Ama, what do you think? Can you help me?"
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi looked at the fourth master with surprise on his face: "Fourth, are you serious about this?
Your second brother and tenth brother will all pay back the money tomorrow? Have you already talked through them?"
The fourth master nodded: "Actually, I didn't put in much effort. It's because the brothers felt that they should step forward when faced with the crisis, and that's why everything went so smoothly for me."
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this and said hello three times with a smile.
Then Emperor Kangxi looked at his third son in a good mood, and then his face turned ugly again.
However, thinking that he had suffered some grievances, Emperor Kangxi did not continue to scold him. He only said: "I will give you 300,000 taels from my private treasury, but I have agreed first that from now on every year
Deduct 10% of the salary and silver and return it to me."
After the fourth master finished speaking, Emperor Kangxi almost instantly grasped the beauty of this method.
At that moment, I couldn't help but admire that his fourth son was indeed smart.
The fourth master also couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his Yu'er is indeed smart.
Look at how Huang Ama is learning and applying it, how fast he is.
It’s just that the fourth master is still a little regretful. He feels that Huang Ama only deducted 10% from him, which is really too little. No matter what, he should have deducted half of it!
By the way, the fourth master’s original intention was to come over with his third brother, find a way to extract 300,000 taels from Huang Ama’s private treasury, and ask his third brother to return the money in the name of serving the country and the people.
After all, the money was used to build the academy, and the fourth master was 80% sure that he could get the money from Emperor Kangxi and give it to his third brother.
However, when his third brother touched his hand, the fourth master thought it would be good to let his third brother pay back the money slowly.
Immediately, I took a look at the third master's face and saw that his face was more bitter than a bitter melon. The fourth master's mood instantly improved.
When the third master came out of Qianqing Palace, he was still gritting his teeth and mumbling: "This damn old man! Just wait for your brother. If I catch you later, I will touch you all over your body and make you sick to death!"
