Yongzheng dynasty? The fifth episode:
Emperor Kangxi asked Yin Zhen, the prince of Yong, to recover the debts owed by the state treasury, and unexpectedly forced veteran Wei Dongting. Ministers refused to pay back. In order to ease the situation, Emperor Kangxi summoned all the old ministers in Changchun Garden to express their difficulties and those of the country, and offered to repay them with his own money.
Kangxi said: "I have been confident all my life. I am confident that I will be a Wan Li in one hundred years. In addition to Ao Bai, Ping Sanfan, Pingle Dan, and the recovery of Taiwan Province and Russia, everyone has never been afraid. "

background
Kangxi told Yin Zhen to put down his money for the sake of the imperial court. Yin Zhen asked his father to praise his 13th brother Huang Hong, and hoped to do this work with Huang Hong. Kangxi refused, saying, "I want you to be a real orphan." Yin Zhen personally collected debts for his ministers, and ordered Tian Wenjing, who followed him all the way back to Beijing, to be responsible for collecting debts for all officials. Wei Dongting and other veterans were summoned for questioning. Malaysians were dissatisfied with Tian Wenjing's pursuit of money and flaunted their achievements. Finally, when Yin Zhen arrived, Yin Zhen ordered him to take off his clothes and show them to all the officials. On the other hand, because of May Yin's secret provocation, Big Brother Yin revealed the money owed by the Prince.
On May 13, Wei Dongting asked Huang to intercede in Yin Zhen, and Huang agreed. Yin Zhen, however, stayed at home and told the housekeeper to take a message, telling Huang Hongfa to behave at home and not to worry about the Ministry's debt collection. After hearing this, Huang Hongfa left angrily and reluctantly. Huang Hongfa offered to repay Wei Dongting with his own money, but it was a drop in the bucket, and it didn't help. Finally, loyal minister Wei Dongting hanged himself with a white silk. Hearing this, Kangxi was so surprised that his eyes burst into tears that he set aside four hundred and two thousand pieces of silver in ouchi to repay Wei Dongting and subsidize his family.
