Recap Chinese Drama "The Long River 2022" Episode 35

Dec 7, 2022

Since the death of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Kangxi stayed in the mourning hall all day long, sleeping on the mat barefoot, and kept his beard unshaven. After more than two months, all officials, civil and military, were extremely anxious. Mingzhu and Suo'etu asked everyone to think of something quickly, but Kangxi seemed to be deep in the mourning hall, even if the prince asked to beg, he was beaten to death.

Xu Qianxue's ambitions were inflated. In order to gain a foothold in the court, he took the initiative to visit Suoxiang's mansion to make suggestions. Although Suo'etu was dubious, he could only listen to it for the time being, and promised that if Xu Qianxue's advice worked, his official career would be smooth in the future, at least as a minister of the Ministry of punishment.

Early the next morning, Suo'etu summoned the ministers to forcibly break into the mourning hall and carried Kangxi out. Kangxi did not convict Suo'ertu and Mingzhu, but sent an order to continue allocating money for military training, and arrested Jin Fu and Chen Huang to Beijing. Mingzhu was shocked when he heard the words, and Suo'etu was also a little at a loss, he didn't expect Xu Qianxue to be able to reach such a level of supernatural powers.

After the decree was issued, all the river officials were angry and chilled, and they wanted to jointly name the emperor to intercede for Jin Fu. Jin Fu tactfully rejected everyone's kindness, even if they collectively resigned, they would not be able to change the emperor's decision, so I hope that He Chen present can understand that as long as he is He Chen for one day, he will live and die with the Yellow River for the rest of his life.

Chen Huang assigned everyone the projects on the river next year, mainly to solve the problem of flooded fields from Qingjiangpu to the estuary. Jin Fu especially emphasized that before the arrival of the new river governor, He Chen must stick to his duty and not forget his original intention. After saying this, everyone wished Jin Fu and Chen Huang a new year in unison. Their hard work in the past ten years has all turned into this auspicious sentence.

On the other hand, Guo Xiu came to Xu Qianxue with a report, flattering and flattering the whole time, with an awe-inspiring face of a villain. And he still repeats the same old tune to this day, nothing more than the big and small troubles about the river, using this as evidence to convict Jin Fu. Xu Qianxue criticized Guo Xiu for being an idiot, and then asked him to write in the notebook that Jin Fu and Chen Huang were attached to the party, so that this trumped-up charge could be confirmed.

After listening to this, Guo Xiu was filled with admiration, and immediately took out a list of officials from various places, all of whom wanted to rely on Xu Qianxue for a way out. Xu Qianxue said that the emperor hated party disputes, but in fact he knew in his heart that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty had their own plans, and the emperor also needed these people to restrain each other, so how could he sit on the throne firmly, not to mention that he also hoped that one day he would be an extremely powerful minister.

On New Year's Eve, Chen Huang sat alone at the table and drank his sorrows. When Jin Fu brought the hot dumplings, he found that he was drunk and fell asleep. Once upon a time, Chen Huang sat beside Jin Fu in a daze, but now he is looking at the heavy snow outside the door, with a heavy heart. The servants in the kitchen felt worthless for Jin Fu. Guarjia understood that sooner or later there would be today, but she supported Jin Fu and Chen Huang's choice.

Yinbi came out of the palace to visit Mingzhu, but he hadn't noticed the changes in the court, and any carelessness would bring disaster to the Ming family. Mingzhu told Yinyi to serve the emperor wholeheartedly and never offend the prince. Before Yinyi left, he was puzzled and never understood Mingzhu's good intentions. At the same time, Kangxi sees things and thinks about people, just like an old emperor, feeling that the heights are too cold.

On the second day after the Chinese New Year, Jin Fu and Chen Huang set off on the road, and the common people saw each other off along the long street, chasing each other from the end of the bridge to the end of the bridge, which was very moving. It is precisely because she is so loved by the people that Mingzhu feels sorry. If Jin Fu and Chen Huang are all arrested, who else will be a loyal minister and work for the court in the future.

The capital is changing, the fire is imminent, Gao Shiqi has already ignored Jin Fu, the emperor wants to investigate the silt field case, if the culprit prince is to be saved, someone will be the scapegoat. The difference between Mingzhu and Suo'etu is that although he is a sycophant, he is by no means a jerk. Since the jerk insists on making a mess, at worst he will die with the other party.
