Recap Chinese Drama "The Long River 2022" Episode 31

Nov 28, 2022

Kangxi's southern tour of the Yellow River was to check how the Yellow River was progressing. When he saw Jin Fu and Chen Huang's bloody hands and scars everywhere, he still felt a little sorry, and asked Jin Fu why he didn't write a memorial for him to go to the shackles. Jin Fu said that the yoke can go, and the people of the three provinces should not forget it. If Haiyan and Heqing can be cleared, it doesn't matter whether they go or not.

These words touched Kangxi's heart, and he walked into the cabin with Jin Fu and Chen Huang on his arms, wanting to reward Chen Huang for fulfilling his wish. Chen Huang begged Kangxi to release Jin Zhiyu and complete the reunion of Jin Fu and his family. Kangxi readily agreed. Besides, he planned to let Jin Zhiyu come back when things calmed down a little, so he asked Chen Huang to continue to ask for rewards.

Chen Huang didn't hesitate at all, and revealed that he was editing and compiling the summary of He Fang, and hoped that Kangxi could write the title of the book. Sure enough, Kangxi Longyan was very happy, and he was happy, and reminded Jin Fu to present Chen Huang's achievements in recent years to the capital in the form of a report, and it was time to be promoted to an official position.

Next, back to the topic, Kangxi announced that he would raise the Eight Banners to fight against Gerdan, but when he heard that many rivers needed to build dams, his expression suddenly became a little dignified, thinking that there is no need to waste people and money, and if the estuary is silted up, he only needs to dig a river. But hastily digging through the river will inevitably lead to high seas and low rivers, and backflow of sea water, which is far more harmful than floods.

Jin Fu obviously saw Kangxi's displeasure, so he didn't continue talking. On the contrary, Chen Huang dared to say that the emperor's knowledge of river affairs was far inferior to his own. In the end, Kangxi suppressed the anger in his heart and told Jin Fu and Chen Huang to manage the Yellow River well, and leave it to future generations to enjoy safely, and then exempt them from the crime of wearing shackles.

A few months later, in the winter of 2009, the first battle against Galdan was won, and the city of Yaksa was recovered. Kangxi ordered General Sabusu to retreat from Aihui and start negotiations again. It will affect the people's livelihood. After Kangxi left, Mingzhu lamented that the emperor was becoming more and more powerful. I am afraid that even Jin Fu didn't have the weight to speak, so Gao Shiqi hurriedly told Chen Huang not to cause trouble.

Gao Shiqi traveled thousands of miles to discuss with Chen Huang about digging the river, but Chen Huang was still stubborn and refused to listen to advice. Gao Shiqi originally hoped that Chen Huang would let the emperor do things first, and believe that he would wake up when the accident happened, but Chen Huang resolutely refused, saying that he didn't need to rely on his life to curry favor with the emperor, so he got up and left.

On New Year's Eve, Jin Fu and his wife and Chen Huang greeted Jin Zhiyu at the River Governor's Mansion, lit firecrackers and served a New Year's Eve dinner. Unfortunately, Chen Huang and Jin Fu mentioned that the emperor was going to dig the river, and they had a dispute at the dinner table . Jin Fu even knew how to cater to the emperor's mind, but Chen Huang was so stubborn that he didn't know how to adapt at all, and the two broke up unhappy in the end.

The palace was festive and lively, Kangxi accompanied the empress dowager Xiaozhuang to dinner, and his mind was extremely heavy and boring, but Xiaozhuang saw that he now has the style of an emperor, although he has grown up, the shortcoming is that he does not trust anyone. The prince and Suo'etu were having fun, and they dared to disrespect Kangxi. Suo'etu persuaded the prince to be a good son in front of Kangxi and not to try to be clever.

After the New Year's Eve, all the officials gathered in the capital to congratulate them. Although it seemed to be congratulations, they actually used the congratulations as an excuse to solve the river affairs. Chen Huang explained to everyone the methods he summed up from his valuable experience in measuring the river bed in recent years. Yu Zhenjia was full of grass and made irresponsible remarks with his mouth, only knowing how to dig through dredging.

Because of Zhenjia and Chen Huang arguing in public in Kangxi Ren, Jin Fu finally expressed his opinion, and the ministers present agreed by default. Yu Zhenjia was speechless and simply played a rogue. Kangxi saw that Yu Zhenjia was at a disadvantage, so he arranged for officials to go to the river to survey, then pointed at Yu Zhenjia, cursed Huai, and left angrily. Jin Fu pleaded with Kangxi in the South Study Room, hoping that he would not offend Chen Huang. How did he know that Kangxi did not buy it this time, claiming that he hated the most arrogant people in his life.
