Chapter 54: Chaos

In the 20th year of Kangxi, the rebellion of the three feudatories stopped, the noon gate was sacrificed, the ministers were feasted, and the world was amnesty, and the ...... was vivid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Coming back from Yunnan, the smoke and rain are very different from when you go out. Xuan Ye sighed secretly, he has a harem of three thousand, but he can't take one person into his arms. The joy of the peace of the three feudal districts was also diluted a lot because of the joy of the smoke and rain. Yanyu never thought about him before, but this time for that person, Yanyu used his brains, made his favorite barley peach blossom soup, made a grasshopper cage, and talked to him about their childhood...... From her eyes, he read her plea. That look made him sleepless and unproductive, but he couldn't put it down. He is not a widowed person, after spending a few sleepless nights, he figured out that he is not the emperor Amma, and he can't let go of this great country and spend his life with her. If you can't give it to her, let that person give it to her, it's better to live and live alone than to die alone. If it is placed in an ordinary house, Yanyu is already past the age of marriage and childbirth. He had his first son at the age of fourteen, and Yanyu is still unmarried for his grandmother and him. After so many years, he owes her, and this time he will pay it back. The only request was that he wanted to see that man, what a man had defeated him. Although Yanyu hesitated, he still agreed.

Before he saw it, he had fantasized about many images of that man, elegant and indifferent, wise and talented, powerful and powerful, and ...... and upright, when he knelt in front of him, this person disappointed him, this was just an ordinary man. What's even more excessive is that this person has a wife and a concubine, and Yanyu can only be her fourth aunt in the past, and he is so angry that he slammed everything on the coffee table. Is it too good to be his fourth aunt than to be a concubine for himself? He is the emperor, if Yanyu really wants to get married, he will show her a family casually, which is better than this man.

"Emperor" Li Dequan interrupted his memories, the word "Ru Jin" had been covered with thick ink, Kangxi lost his pen, and Li Dequan was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out. Although he was not the Kangxi he served back then, he also knew that the saint hated Ru Jin to the root, all the men of the Ru family were killed, all the women were used as official prostitutes, all the three clans were filled with the army, and all the five clans were slaves. I heard the old man in the palace say that the Ru family was a remnant of the former Ming Dynasty, and he had poisoned the emperor when the emperor was in the south of the Yangtze River, but fortunately Aunt Wei noticed it and saved the emperor's life.

"Say!" Kangxi crumpled the ink-stained paper into a ball, Li Dequan shrank his head, and said, "Miss Qingyue is back, she is waiting outside the door." Kangxi asked, "What about my sister?" Li Dequan replied: "Aunt Wei is not in the palace. Kangxi nodded and asked Li Dequan to call Qingyue in.

I haven't seen him for a few months, Kangxi has lost a lot of weight, not only his eyes are protruding, but the folds on his face are also much darker, and his lips are blue, and he knows that he has a serious illness at a glance. Qingyue knelt on the ground to ask for peace, Kangxi asked her to get up, but she was still kneeling. Kangxi didn't let her get up again, and said seemingly plainly: "Say it." ”

Qingyue went to the northwest, how to monitor Gan Weijie and Mu Zhang'a, how to design and lead out the traitors, and how to plan to drive out Alabutan, one by one. It's just that she didn't mention the "moles" of the elder brothers, and put all the blame on Dr. Jia.

"That's all?" After listening, Kangxi closed his eyes and asked.

Qingyue pretended to be embarrassed, shrunk her head, and hesitated again and again before she said: "The slave maid is in the army, and I really feel that the atmosphere in the army is abnormal, and General Mu does not seem to be able to command the whole army. After Qingyue answered, she peeked at Kangxi.

"What do you call it seems! I want to answer in the affirmative, you don't play tricks on me! Kangxi opened his eyes violently and stared at the clear moon underground.

Qing Yue seemed to be frightened by him, and said: "Yes, General Mu can't command the whole army, except for his personal guards, he has people recommended by the elder brother, only the uncle and the second master are excluded." ”

"Thirteen elder brothers, too?" Kangxi asked.

Qingyue was secretly happy, waiting for this sentence, she still pretended to be very embarrassed, and replied: "Don't dare to hide it from the saint, there is." ”

Qingyue lowered her head, Kangxi couldn't see her expression, but from her tone, it was not difficult to judge that Qingyue was spitting and spitting, and she wanted to hide it from him in this matter, but she didn't want to hide it from him, he wanted to see what Qingyue had in mind.

"Raise your head and look me in the eye and reply." Kangxi ordered. Qingyue said that she didn't dare, and Kangxi said coldly: "Fake the holy decree, order the three armies, and release the prisoners privately, what else do you dare not do?" ”

Qingyue raised her head and looked at Kangxi's eyes, these eyes are different from the eighth master's introverted and subtle, the fourth master's cold and domineering, and the thirteen's tenderness like water, born with a kind of majesty, this is the so-called imperial spirit, which caused her to panic for a while, for fear that Kangxi would see what clues, cut off her painstaking arrangement, and bring thirteen to suffer.

"Back to the saint, it is wrong for the slave to say or not to say this. First of all, please don't implicate anyone else, if the saint agrees, the slave and maid will die, and they will not be wronged. ”

"You're going to be a trick! I can't promise you, I have my own judgment, I am now a son of heaven, not anyone's loving father! 13. If he does it, then he will have to bear it, and what you do, you will also bear it. I will not bend anyone, or take sides. After speaking, Kangxi took out the ginseng pill from his arms and ate one.

Seeing that Kangxi didn't call anyone and took medicine by himself, Qingyue was stunned, quickly got up, mixed honey water, and presented it to Kangxi, Kangxi drank it all and threw the bowl on the small table, he didn't want to hear his sons take the heir, but also wanted to know what means his sons had used. In the past half a month, I have used the medicine that used to be quiet every day, supplemented by Hu Wanquan's heart-nourishing pills, and most of the illness has been cured, and my chest is not as stuffy as before. But he didn't know what shocking secrets Qingyue would tell, although he had returned to the Forbidden City, he never had the intention of establishing a prince, if there was a case, these elder brothers would make trouble, and the country he had worked hard for most of his life would fall apart.

"Actually, General Mu is the commander and has the power of life and death, if he really wants to rectify the camp, it is not difficult. Shengshang, General Mu does not rectify the camp, and his heart can be punished. When Qingyue said this, she paused for a moment, saw that Kangxi did not speak, and said: "The commander has no intention of military affairs, and he took the opportunity to use military power to curry favor with your elder brothers, which led to the fluctuation of the military heart of the Northwest Battalion, and the exposure of various news, coupled with the mutual containment and unwillingness to resist the enemy, the Northwest Battalion had become a decoration at that time. When the slave and maid arrived in the northwest, they found the reason, and were forced by the situation at that time, so they had no choice but to falsely pass on the holy decree, order the three armies, and release the prisoners privately. At that time, the slaves and maids only hoped to save the lives of the Northwest Battalion and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. ”

"What you said is right and what you did is right, but why are you afraid that I will blame you?" Kangxi asked.

"With the strength of the whole country, how can the northwest not be pacified. But the situation is like a momentum, and every move affects the northwest. The situation of the An Dynasty is also related to the national Zuo, which is not something that slaves and maids can discuss. And what the slave and maid want, the saint knows, and the slave and the thirteen masters have a relationship after all, no matter what the slave and the maid say, the saint will inevitably involve the thirteenth master, if the slave and the maid don't say it, the saint will also involve the thirteenth master. Therefore, the slave can only gamble, bet on your Shengming, and bet on how deep your affection for the Thirteenth Master is. After Qingyue finished speaking, her heart was about to jump out.

"Who did Thirteen plant in the northwest?" Kangxi asked again.

Qingyue pretended to be calm and replied: "The old department of Gukou training, but the thirteenth master was imprisoned, and that person sent someone to find the fourth master." As she spoke, Qing Yue took out a list from her sleeve, which was arranged by various elder brothers in the northwest.

Kangxi took it, after reading it, he was furious, he originally thought that he had placed a Yinren and suppressed a Yinren, and everyone would stop it, but looking at this list, these sons are really uneasy, and they are all honest on the surface, but in private, they are all intensifying, and the layout is pressing step by step, and his court is like a dam full of floods, and if you open a little opening, all the floods will gush out. The "sons" have gone from the court to military affairs, no wonder an old man like Chen Tingjing also shrank back and euphemistically persuaded him to establish a prince as soon as possible, he is not dead yet, and this "family" has been divided. He stood up, paced anxiously two steps, suddenly turned around, kicked down Xiao Ji, and the pastel tea bowl smashed on the bluestone surface, making a sound like a golden stone. A piece of debris splashed up and bounced on the kneeling Qingyue's face, and in an instant, a bead of blood rubbed out of Qingyue's face. She instinctively covered her face, and when she saw her anger, she immediately put it down and put her head on the ground.

Li Dequan, who was waiting outside the door, heard the movement, stretched out half his head, and probed carefully. When Kangxi saw him, he was even more angry, and yelled at him: "Look at it, I don't even know how to serve you!" Is this what you should see? I'll send you to Shen Xingsi tomorrow and let them gouge out your eyeballs!" Li Dequan listened, and retracted half of his head.

Kangxi continued to drop things, he endured the pain and disposed of his favorite Yinren, in exchange for more ruthless betrayal and abandonment, what he could vent for was only the things in this house, because no matter what, he still had to "tolerate" them, because these people were his "sons" and the continuation of the Qing Dynasty.

Glazed table clocks, inkstones, white jade brush washes, blue and white painting jars, red glazed flowers, light color and multicolored flower pots...... All in pieces. Qingyue, who was lying on the ground, was very helpless, these things, in the future, were always valuable, and Kangxi easily smashed hundreds of millions. He can't blame the brothers for being ruthless, what is placed in front of them is something more valuable than this room of things, this value goes beyond money, beyond power, and is the pleasure of dominating the world.

"Qingyue, Xuan ......"

Qingyue looked up, and Kangxi had fainted to the ground.

There was another period of chaos, Hu Wanquan and Zeng were as quiet as facing a great enemy, one person administered needles, one person used medicine, Hu Wanquan went down with a needle, Kangxi woke up suddenly, but spit out a mouthful of pus and blood from his mouth, which was mixed with countless small dark red blood clots, stained red with yellow dragon sheets. Li Dequan was so anxious that he stomped his feet, Hu Wanquan was so frightened that the silver needle was lost, Qingyue looked at it and beat the drum in his heart, although it is only fifty-two years of Kangxi, and Kangxi is still eight years away from braiding, but in case she is not wearing the official history, it is a certain crooked fruit history, Kangxi is now dead, Yinzhen is still floating in the northwest, who is not sure who will sit in this country, then the thirteenth will be over?

"Alright, alright, the blood clot that blocked the heart veins has come out! Congratulations to the Holy One, congratulations to the Holy One! Zeng Chujing, who was dispersing on the side, was extremely happy, lost the medicine in his hand, and gave Kangxi a happy message.

Everyone was stunned by him, and Li Dequan muttered and asked Hu Wanquan, Imperial Doctor Hu, what do you think? Hu Wanquan was silent. Li Dequan asked Zeng Chujing again, Zeng Medical Vice, are you sure? Zeng Chujing took Kangxi's hand, put three fingers at the entrance, and quietly took his pulse: "It won't be wrong." Teacher, you can also take the pulse. Hu Wanquan took Kangxi's hand, closed his eyes to check the pulse, and everyone in the room looked at him, and after a while, he spoke: "The saint is no longer in trouble, the blood coagulation and qi obstruction have been alleviated, and the pulse is no different from that of ordinary people, but the liver qi is rising, which is afraid of hurting the spleen and stomach, and two more pairs of drugs for liver qi removal need to be prescribed." ”

After listening, Li Dequan breathed a long sigh of relief, Kangxi pulled the silk silk, and a mouthful of bloody phlegm stuck out of his throat, and suddenly, he also felt refreshed and his chest was open. Qingyue also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she is still wearing the official history. wiped the sweat on her face, but touched the blood stains that had congealed on her face, she quickly took out a handkerchief and silently wiped the blood stains on her face.

"Where's my sister?" Kangxi asked Li Dequan, Li Dequan's face was a little abnormal, and he stammered and said, Aunt Wei went out and hasn't come back yet, he immediately sent someone to find it, Kangxi nodded and asked him to do it. He also instructed the two imperial doctors to go down to prescribe medicine, leaving only Qingyue by his side, Qingyue took the palace maid and Xiao Sula to put on a clean bedding for Kangxi again, and then settled down, and Kangxi separated the palace maid and Xiao Sula again. Qingyue kept drawing things in her head in case Kangxi inquired.

"Qingyue, give me that list." Kangxi commanded.

Qingyue walked to the case, but his face was white, the list that was still under the paperweight just now was gone, Kangxi found Qingyue's abnormality, sat up, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, very good, I stole it here." The list of those who steal me today, the courtiers who steal me tomorrow, and the country that will steal me the day after tomorrow! ”

Qingyue hurriedly knelt down, this accident was something she didn't expect, and the person who stole the list was too bold! Her mind raced, remembering who might have taken the list, every suspicious person in the room, every suspicious thing in the room.

"Qingyue, I ordered you to check immediately. Also, you can see Yinxiang again this year, but you can't let anyone know. Kangxi suppressed his anger and ordered.

Qingyue kowtowed in thanks, and said at the same time: "The slave maid has another request." ”

"Say." Kangxi only said one word.

"This list, please don't let the elder brother know that I provided it, including the fourth elder brother, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the thirteenth master in the future." Qingyue pleaded.

Kangxi immediately nodded in agreement, and then waved her hand to pull back.

Out of Kangxi's dormitory, before Qingyue went to find the person in the worship room to ask for the list of people on duty today, Xiao Sula came to tell her that Jiao Man had cut herself. Qingyue was slightly stunned, but she was not surprised, through her memories just now, among the suspicious people today, there was Jiaoman. So she sent someone to find Tong Ling and asked him to go to Jiao Man's house to search, and she went to check Jiao Man's body.

When he entered the house, he was hanged, he died an ugly death, saliva flowed down his neck, the cartilage in his throat punctured his trachea, his eyes were bulging and bloodshot, and his face was completely blue. Kiyotsuki examined her body and found the list in her underwear. Looking at this round-faced girl, remembering that she used the Saucer Fairy to deceive her before, and when she said that her mother died of illness, Jiao Man cried with tears, but she didn't dare to cry a sound, Qingyue regretted sending Tong Ling to raid her house. Whether she was voluntary, persecuted, or innocent, her family should not be implicated. Qingyue helped her close her eyes, closed them twice, but she didn't close them, if she were someone else, she would have been impressive a long time ago, but she was Qingyue, and the two Northwest Wars, what she saw was far more terrifying than this, more cruel than this. Qingyue Mansion leaned down and said, "I will do my best to protect your family." After saying that, she helped Jiao Man close her eyes again, and her eyelids slowly closed. Qingyue searched carefully again and made sure that there was nothing on her before ordering someone to carry Jiao Man out. Jiao Man didn't live in a room alone, she called the palace maids who lived with Jiao Man, and carefully interrogated them one by one, several girls were already trembling with fright, and they couldn't speak. Qingyue personally searched them again, and found nothing abnormal, so she let them go down. Out of all considerations, she didn't want to be bothered, so she searched the room thoroughly again, and made sure that nothing was missing, so she took the palace talisman to find Tong Ling.

In addition to her, Jiao Man's family also has a younger sister Guerlain, who just turned ten years old this year, and when she saw that someone was fierce, she grinned and cried, her father didn't know what happened to Jiao Man in the palace, so he hid in a corner of the room with Guerlain in his arms, and watched the people knock down the table, knock over the tables and chairs, lift the futon, and turn their house upside down, but they didn't dare to say a word. When Qingyue came in, Guerlain's cry was still resounding, and the house had been turned over by Tong Ling and others. Seeing her enter the door, Tong Ling handed her the letter she had flipped through, Qingyue browsed it roughly, and took out two copies, one was written by Jiao Man's cousin to Jiao Man, and the other was written by Jing Zhao Mansion Yin to the old man.

"Does Cousin Jiao Man have an affair with Jiao Man?" Qingyue asked.

The old man who was holding Guerlain and shrunk up again tightened his heart, and his hands were also tight, and he hurriedly replied: "No, no, Jiao Man entered the palace at the age of fourteen, how could she have a personal affair with her cousin." ”

"Amma, you've hurt me!" Guerlain, who was crying, suddenly interjected.

Qingyue Wan'er, this old man is too bad at lying.

"Then let me ask you again, why did you write to you with a dignified and upright Jing Zhaoyin?" Qingyue asked again.

The old man stammered: "Isn't it written on the letter-mourning the secret longevity, my son used to be the Yin Mansion of Jingzhao Mansion, the nurse of the little young master, with this affection, Master Jingzhao wrote this letter and sent ten taels of Dian Yi." ”

Qingyue shook the letter in her hand and said: "It's quite face-saving, but Lord Fu Yin also thanked the third-class guard Chou Hui for his recommendation by the way, and in the first letter, the payment is also brother: Chou Hui, the date is the fiftieth year of Kangxi, that old man, don't you need me to say any more, right?" ”

The old man regretted a hundred times: he didn't burn the letter that Chou Hui gave to Jiao Man, and now he is leaving the handle in the hands of others. His face turned pale and his lips trembled. I thought that with this letter, I could add a guarantee and a future to Jiao Man's life after leaving the palace, but now it seems that it has cost the life of the family. According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, the palace maid and the guards secretly communicate with each other, which is a felony of bullying the king, and the whole family should be beheaded according to the law.

Seeing that the old man's face was like ashes, trembling, and refusing to speak for a long time, Qingyue said: "When Jiao Man died, I promised her to take care of her family. If you tell me the truth, maybe I can save your lives. ”

At some point, Guerlain had stopped crying, her eyes widened, and she looked at Qingyue and the old man blankly.

The old man's heart ached, Jiao Man was dead, and he didn't want to live, but looking at Guerlain in his arms, he was really reluctant. At first, he knew that Chou Hui and Jiao Man had a personal affair, and he was so frightened that he asked Se Mi to dissuade his daughter, but later, Chou Hui went to the house to swear and swear, and left a word, if Jiao Man is not married, and promised to wait until Jiao Man is twenty-five years old to leave the palace, he saw that Chou Hui was sincere, and he also moved his mind. He is Amma, he doesn't want Jiao Man to die alone after leaving the palace, and he only raised two girls, Chou Hui is a man, and he has the identity of a guard, this family is something he can't climb if he wants to, so he relied on Chou Hui and Jiao Man. Jiao Man also promised them that they would never have anything to do with Chou Hui in the palace. But how can it be biased, but it is ......

Seeing that the old man was still silent, Qingyue said: "You say it or not, as long as you have these two letters, Jiao Man's sin can be confirmed, so I won't bother you with Chrysostom." Tong Ling, send Guerlain to the smell of incense, and lock the old man up to you. No one can see anyone without my orders. ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to separate him from Guerlain, the old man and Guerlain wept at the same time, and the cry shook the sky, and the neighbors stretched out their curious heads, but saw people dressed as soldiers guarding the door, and some of them immediately closed the door of their house. There were also a few bold families who wanted to gather around and join in the fun, but the gatekeepers waved water and fire sticks to disperse them.

After dealing with this, Qingyue rushed back to the palace, Wei had not returned to the palace, so she had no choice but to report to Kangxi, Kangxi called the commander of the internal guard, and asked him to hand over the secret of Semi Chouhui to Qingyue, and the commander of the internal guard ordered to do it immediately. And Kangxi looked at the lost list, but he didn't know what he should do, whether to deal with these people in a rage, or to endure it and wait for the opportunity to deal with it. Later, he asked Li Dequan to put the list in a secret box and lock it. Then he told Qingyue to go down to rest, and as for the affairs of the northwest, he would secretly explain Yinzhen to deal with the aftermath. After hearing this, Qingyue thanked her, stepped on the last light of dusk, and left the Forbidden City. But she didn't go to Yinxiang, Yinxi sent a message to her, wanting to meet her.

Huang Ama treated him and Yinxiang differently, which made Yinxi even more frightened, and when he got the news of Qingyue's return, he hurriedly asked the little eunuch placed in the palace to contact Qingyue and begged her to see him. Fortunately, Qingyue didn't refuse, just asked him to wait. Qingyue both gave him hope and made him restless. Invisibly, Yinxi had a little more resentment towards her. Yinxi repeatedly played with the sinking fish in his hand, and was ruthless several times, wanting to smash it, but he gave up when he came. After waiting like this for a whole day, Qingyue didn't come, he sighed, put away the sinking fish in a brocade box, called Zhao Yuan'er, helped him freshen up, and went to bed early. After the third watch, he still didn't fall asleep, got up in his clothes, pushed open the door, the moon was only missing a tooth, seeing that it was about to pass August 15, and Huang Ama also came back, I don't know if he could participate in this year's moon ceremony.

The purple bamboo on the side of the wall shook, Yinxi's eyes flickered, and Qingyue was already standing in front of him.

Compared with the two, Yinxi is sicker than Kangxi, and he has not yet reached the age of confusion, and he is already old. The temperament that used to be gentle and elegant, gentle as jade is no longer there, the corners of the mouth are crooked, trembling, and the gray hair on the head is shocking. Qingyue closed her eyes, trying to think about the beautiful man before, those eyes with affection.

"What, you don't recognize me?" Yinzhen recalled that time, he went to Yinzhen Zhuangzi to find her, at that time, she was attached to herself, and now, feng shui takes turns, until he is "attached" to her.

"No, I just can't believe you don't believe me." Qingyue opened her eyes, she chose Yinxiang, and she didn't wait to be worthy of him.

"Now, my life and death are in your hands, I will listen to you what you want me to do, but please don't take the ninth and tenth brothers." Yinxi's expression became resolute.

Qingyue smiled bitterly: "Eighth Master, it's not that I want your life, it's the emperor who wants your life, in other words, you want the emperor's life." I took action, but I pity the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northwest, and I don't want or disdain anything else. I thought you would understand me, but I didn't expect you to be inferior to the emperor. I released the pigeon and returned the fish to you, not to threaten you with anything you wanted. I just hope you stop, it is important to win the heir, but the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are equally important. ”

Yinxi fell into embarrassment, he thought that Qingyue would use this as a threat to help Thirteen get out of trouble and threaten him to give up taking the heir. The two were silent for a long time before Yin Xi spoke: "This is also the real reason why you let go of all the captives?" ”

"Yes, the Buddha said that all beings are equal. You are vying for the world, but countless people are paving the way for your ambitions. Whether it is Mongolian, Han Chinese, or Manchurian, they are all human beings, the same feelings, the same thoughts, parents and brothers, wives and children. You will be sad and sad, scared and afraid, and so will they. It doesn't make a difference because you are different. ”

After seeing too much deceit, although Qingyue's words moved Yinxi, he resisted in his heart, afraid that after these words, there was another conspiracy hidden.

Seeing Yinxi's flickering eyes, Qingyue swallowed the words behind: If you put it down, the emperor will also put it down. She was afraid that if she said this, she would suspect that she had come up to warn him for the emperor, but she had harmed him again. Instead, he sighed, "Anyway, I didn't betray you!" If there is a day when Yinxiang and I fall into your hands, please remember how I treated you today, and how you treated us. ”

After calculating for half a lifetime, this is the most complete defeat he has ever had, he not only lost his "life", lost his identity, but also lost the initiative, and it was the first time he was held in the palm of his hand like this, which was very unpleasant. If he hadn't made a wrong move back then and let Qing Yue enter the Prince's Mansion, he wouldn't have lost the full game now. If he had been as firm as thirteen at the beginning and had not lost Qingyue, his situation would have been very different now.

Qingyue left, leaving him where he was, not knowing what it tasted like.

Wei finally returned to the palace, and after reading the list in the northwest, Kangxi was already very tired, but Wei's expression showed that he still had to talk about those old things.

Ru Jin, Wei Yuyan chose to stand on my side, you didn't expect it, right?
