Recap Chinese Drama "The Long River 2022" Episode 37

Now that Mingzhu has fallen from the horse, Suo'etu summons Yisang'a and other confidants to celebrate with drinking and eating meat, discusses how to deal with Kangxi, and supports the crown prince to ascend the throne. Over the years, Kangxi implemented the division of Manchu and Han to rule the world, and the re-use of Hanchens has already caused complaints from Manchu officials. As long as the crown prince ascends the throne, the status of Manchus can be stabilized.

For this reason, Suo'etu also introduced Xu Qianxue to everyone. Xu Qianxue toasted one by one in fear. Although Suo'etu publicly announced that he became one of his confidantes, Xu Qianxue knew that he had been dragged into the bandit boat.

On the day Jin Fu and Chen Huang entered Beijing, they were dressed in sackcloth with disheveled hair, and a prison cart with chains beside them. On the other hand, Yu Zhenjia, who was coming towards him, was riding a tall horse, majestic and majestic, completely different from them. Chen Huang sighed with emotion the last time he came to the capital to participate in the scientific examination, but now he has become a prisoner and is being held in the Prison Temple awaiting trial.

However, Kangxi misunderstood the virtuous and foolish, failed to recognize Xu Qianxue as a traitor, and angrily asked Jin Fu to embezzle 50,000 mu of fertile land and sell pearls, how could he let himself down. Jin Fu didn't have enough evidence to prove his innocence, and he was used to not wanting to justify himself when things happened. Obviously, as long as he agreed to dig the river, he would be able to return to his post and return to the capital to enjoy his old age. However, he still resolutely rejected Kangxi's suggestion, and only hoped that Kangxi would pardon Chen. Huang continued to control the Yellow River.

Kangxi was full of grief and anger, and lost his temper alone in the study, and then ordered someone to bring Jin Fu's wife and children to reunite his family. The Guerjia family felt that the emperor was angry and would not punish Jin Fu when he calmed down, but Jin Zhiyu felt a little uneasy, thinking that his father might not escape accountability.

Chen Huang couldn't sleep at night, his mind was full of river control plans, and he wanted the guards to provide the table, paper and inkstone, but the guards ignored him and kicked him down. At the same time, Gao Shiqi searched through all the river affairs communiques and Qing regulations over the years, just to deal with the six major trials, but Mingzhu felt that he was doing useless work.

The next day, Jin Fu, Chen Huang, and Mingzhu were tried in the court of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Kangxi came to the scene in person, and Suo'etu, Gao Shiqi and others were on the left and right to listen. Chen Huang listened to Xu Qianxue read out the numerous crimes, and mocked that they wanted to commit crimes without excuse, and they would be executed regardless of whether the river was controlled or not. On the other hand, Jin Fu responded to the question calmly and answered with reason and evidence. Xu Qianxue believed that Jin Fu was arrogant, relying on his rich experience in water control for many years, and completely ignored other people.

But in fact, it is difficult to find anyone inside and outside the court who knows how to control rivers better than Jin Fu and Chen Huang. Seeing Xu Qianxue's speechless counterattack, Suo Etu tried to force Jin Fu to plead guilty. Jin Fu refused to admit these trumped-up charges. If he felt that they were guilty elsewhere, if he felt that they had problems with the river management these years, it was definitely fabricated out of thin air.

Suo'etu and Xu Qianxue were aggressive and pressured Jin Fu to explain the details of the sale of Yutian. Mingzhu once again emphasized that Jin Fu's sale of Yutian to the wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River was all collected by himself and had nothing to do with them. However, Suo'etu also mentioned that Mingzhu handed over the land to the management of the eldest prince's mansion. Obviously, he wanted to direct the disaster to Yinyin. Mingzhu refuted Suo'etu's accumulation of family wealth. When encountering obstacles, it is difficult to pass through the waterway.

Although Suo'etu categorically denies it, Mingzhu has a lot of secrets, from digging ginseng in Jilin, selling copper mines in Yunnan, to reselling gold and other unknown secrets. The words and sentences of Mingzhu are sonorous and powerful, and even Suo'etu's privately coined coins are conclusive evidence. I implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate the treasury.

Suo'etu was shocked when he heard the words, and went to Mingzhu to argue fiercely with him. Mingzhu brought up the silt field case again, saying that she found out the biggest buyer behind the scenes, and publicly exposed Suo'etu's forced buying of a civilian girl in Huaiyang, only to reveal the name of the prince. Kangxi's face became more and more livid, and he didn't say a word the whole time, Suo'etu was in a panic and shouted for injustice, please play Mingzhu Mingzheng immediately.
