Fourth Master has been in a bad mood lately.

  Even if there was another child in the house, it wouldn't have cheered him up.

  Things in the house are now trivial matters, things in the palace and court are big things.

  The Queen Mother's leg is still not well, but she has already started attending court.

  These days, it's been stormy weather!

  After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, among several major events was the governance of the Yellow River.

  It can be said that it has been managed year after year, but with little effect.

  Corruption is one thing, but the Manchu people were in control of China for too short a time. Their ancestors lived on the steppes for generations and did not have such ferocious big rivers, so they naturally would not know how to govern them.

  Han officials were often excluded by Manchu officials, especially in major events such as the management of the Yellow River.

  So, from the Kangxi period until now, there has been no real good governance of the Yellow River.

  Year after year, disaster relief is provided, with varying degrees of severity in disasters large and small.

  Emperor Kangxi suddenly remembered the great flood in Henan during the summer and immediately issued an imperial edict, dismissing the Governor of Henan from office, beheading the Magistrate of Henan, and banishing all officials big and small in Henan to Ningguta...

  This is truly earth-shattering!

  Punishing corrupt officials is justifiable, but it's not like that!

  Out of the blue!

  Fourth Master is still unaware of the inside story, but the Straight Duke and the Crown Prince are aware! In recent months, there has been no impeachment of Henan officials at all! Even if the Emperor has a secret protection, it shouldn't be possible to issue an edict directly without going through anyone?

  But in fact, it's just like this!

  A provincial governor is not a minor official, that's a second-grade high-ranking official! A territorial administrator! Can you just quit being an official after saying so?

  That's nothing, Emperor Kangxi has always been strong-willed, having ascended to the throne for many years, and since he killed Ao Bai and pacified the three feudatories, he rarely encountered a minister who dared to stand up straight.

  The problem is that a second-grade official was dismissed from office, a prefectural governor was beheaded, and a group of officials were dismissed, but it's not just that simple.

  These officials, big and small, have dealings with other high-ranking officials in the court.

  For a time, the imperial court was in an uproar.

  Who is not afraid of being implicated?

  Who knows why this is? The emperor only said it was because of the inadequate disaster relief, but in previous years, even if the disaster relief was inadequate, there wasn't such strictness.

  However, after Emperor Kangxi killed someone and was dismissed from office, it seemed like nothing had happened!

  He seems to be simply criticized for being incompetent in disaster relief.

  Henan has many vacant official positions, but the governor is still there, and he is a Manchu.

  The new governor is named Zhao Hengzhi, who has been a prefect for many years and can now be considered promoted.

  One province lost an official, which is not a big deal. Throughout the ages, there have been countless officials, so it's only natural that many people will fill the vacancy.

  The King of Zhiguang directly found Siye: "Henan is a critical place, this is the opportunity, Old Four, your people take advantage of this occasion to get in a few."

  Zheng County King is too straightforward, Fourth Master is really speechless.

  "Big brother, I don't have such a heart."

  "Big brother didn't have the intention to test you or set a trap for you, even if in the future you become a close relative of the king, a banner lord, and there's no one who can control you. Go ahead, think about it yourself." The Straight Duke said with a smile.

  Although he carries the memories of his past life, everything in this Qing dynasty is already different from his previous life.

  He knew that sometimes it was a burden instead, nowadays, I don't know if Old Four still has such an opportunity.

  But as long as he has it, he will go all out.

  On his way back home, Fourth Master's heart was very heavy.

  Originally, Fourth Master would also have arranged for a few capable people to go to Henan. However... he was also worried that with the direct prince and the crown prince above, it wouldn't look good if they did it too obviously.

  However, at this moment, Zhangsun Wuji was straightforward, while the Fourth Prince hesitated.

  What does it mean after all?

  Before the Spring Festival, such a big thing happened in the court.

  The vacancy of Henan official position has also caused changes in the officials across the country.

  Many people have been promoted and gone to Henan to take office, so this official position is now vacant.

  At this time, Ye Jia Ye Mingyuan received a letter, which was written by his former superior, the appointment letter from Liu Wenhuan, the governor of Ganzhou, Jiangxi.

  The position of magistrate in Pingyang County, Ganzhou is vacant. Liu Wenhuang has already submitted his application and only awaits the appointment of Ye Mingyuan.

  This is truly a stroke of good luck.

  At first, Ye Mingyuan was dismissed because he offended someone, but Liu Wenhuan actually supported him and paid attention to him.

  He took advantage of the opportunity to recommend himself.

  Those who have been in office naturally do not want to be ordinary people.

  Even if previous official positions were higher, this county magistrate is the lowest-ranking official, but imperial power does not extend to counties, so being a county magistrate is a very powerful profession.

  He is the greatest in the county!

  "This is really good news!" Ye Mingyuan finished reading the letter and handed it to his eldest son, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

  Ye Feng's expression was calm and unruffled.

  Ever since he had younger siblings born of his mother's body, he instantly felt that something was off about Ama.

  It's not that Ye Mingyuan doesn't love him anymore, but rather, Ye Mingyuan is a particularly conservative person.

  In his heart, a legitimate son is still a legitimate son. No matter how capable an illegitimate child may be, he will ultimately find it difficult to take on major responsibilities.

  Before, he had no legitimate son and treated his illegitimate children equally, but now things have changed.

  This family business will also be left to our legitimate son Ye Heng in the future.

  Ye Feng is silly but not stupid. He has this feeling that after being pampered for over a decade, he changed overnight and his heart also became numb.

  "It's a good thing that Ama is going to take office, but the son is not young anymore, and next year he will be coming of age. I'm afraid it won't be convenient for him to follow Ama around." Yefeng thought to himself, if he stayed behind, then so be it, in any case, he wouldn't have high hopes for his family's future.

  "What you said is also true, if you can have a good name, it would be the blessing of my Ye family." Ye Mingyuan thought for a moment and said: "But with only one person left in the capital, how can that work?"

  "With an uncle like you to back me up, I'm not afraid of anything."

  "Oh, since it's like that, then let's find someone to sell this house in the next few days. You also know that if we go to take office, we can't avoid spending some silver money." Ye Mingyuan sighed.

  Ye Feng looked at Ama in disbelief, his heart aching.

  Sell the house? Is he supposed to live with his uncle or something?

  More than ten years of deep affection, just because he had a legitimate son, it became like this?

  Perhaps it was his obvious gaze, but Ye Mingyuan also felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

  It's the eldest son who matters, but the youngest son is also someone he has loved and cared for, so naturally he won't ignore him: "Sell the house, of course leave a portion of silver for you to spend, Auntie takes the whole family to Jiangxi, can't go empty-handed, right?"

  Unfortunately, saying anything now can't make up for it.

  "Yes, son doesn't understand things." Ye Feng said calmly.

  He has an uncle, he can't be too big to borrow his uncle's money for a living... there will always be a day when he'll make a comeback.

  A few days later, when the whole family was talking about this matter, Su Niang got up: "Master, this is a happy event, it's just that... Er Ya has grown up, if she follows and goes to Jiangxi too, future marriages will be difficult, why not... let her stay behind?"
