Chapter 118: Jiangnan Affair (4)
The undercurrent is surging, and the world is busy. But on the edge of the river, a seven or eight-year-old boy with a pink carving, is sitting with a middle-aged man fishing, the boy's long eyelashes like butterfly wings up and down, staring intently at the river, the middle-aged man sat not far from him, from time to time to turn his head to look at him, when the boy noticed his gaze, he would smile at him, so innocent.
The rod moved, and the boy immediately threw the rod, revealing a palm-sized fish out of the river. "I've caught a fish, I've caught a fish."
Hurriedly retracted the rod, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl next to her also stepped forward to help, and the middle-aged man smiled: "You can catch it for the first time, it's good!" ”
The boy who was praised still smiled, and at this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to have a fish hooked, and he threw up the rod, and the fish was no smaller than the boy. "The sun is big, the fish is there, go, take the fish and make it, do you want to eat braised fish, or sweet and sour?"
"Is it okay for them to make fish? The fish made by my mother, whether it is braised or sweet and sour, tastes good. The boy blinked and asked, thought for a moment, and then asked, "When will you let me go back to see my mother?" ”
The middle-aged man stroked his head and said, "Don't worry, your mother has finished her work, and she will naturally come to look for us." ”
"You, you're the emperor, right?" The boy raised his head and asked suspiciously, and the middle-aged man smiled, "I am also you Amma." ”
The boy lowered his head, "E-Niang said yes, you are!" Mixed with a bit of stubbornness and a bit of grievance, the middle-aged man was also Kangxi who was not reluctant, and took the boy's hand, "Go!" ”
"My ears can't hear. Aunt Yun helped me invite a lot of people to see it, and they all said that it was because I was born before term. They are born with defects, and they can never be cured. "A seven- or eight-year-old child, at this time, is like an adult, talking about his deafness, as if talking about outsiders, calm and waveless.
Kangxi's heart tightened. "Then how do you know what people are saying?" ”
"My ears can't hear, I can see, play small. E-niang taught me lip language, and I watched what you said. "A little child, just tell Kangxi so directly, he will know what others say. It is not heard. It's what you see.
Kangxi felt suffocated, this is a possibility he never thought of, this child, this child was born deaf, the reason is premature, and he will be born prematurely, the biggest reason is because of him. All languages. Kangxi felt useless, he thought. His damage to Feng Li can be remedied, but when facing little Feng Heng, he realized that there was some damage that could never be made up.
"Why did you know I was in the Wen Mansion?" Feng Heng asked the question he was most concerned about, he lived in Wen Mansion temporarily, not many people knew about this matter, Eniang wanted to protect him, and Feng Li had too many things to deal with at this time, so he would inevitably send a lot of useful people to protect him. However, when this person went to the Wen Mansion to take him away that day, only Xiaoyi and Qiao Song were by his side.
"If you have a heart, you will always know." Kangxi said with a smile that Feng Heng couldn't say that he was satisfied with such an answer, but he also knew that it was impossible to ask the whole story from Kangxi's mouth.
Next, Feng Heng didn't speak, and Kangxi asked each to make a braised fish and a sweet and sour fish. picked a fish bone and put it in front of Feng Heng, "Eat, eat, look, their craftsmanship is comparable to your mother." ”
Feng Heng took a bite, but he didn't comment, just ate the rice in the bowl and took a few bites of green vegetables.
"Your Majesty, the affairs of Tianxianglou have been sorted out, there is the beginning of the Feng family, each has its own merchants and hired homeless people, and today, the homeless people gathered in Yangzhou have their own home." The boat was on the water, and when he learned that Feng Heng had fallen asleep, Kangxi had time to listen to the reports of the people below. Answered, Kangxi was thinking about the combination of the Feng family and the merchants, and quickly solved the predicament of the flooded Qizhou County, and Fengli even took out the hoarded grain and sold it at a parity price, so that those rice merchants who raised the price had nothing to do, and those who wanted to make a fortune once gritted their teeth at Fengli.
The person who reported the incident was a middle-aged man with a goatee, and he looked at Kangxi, "Your Majesty, the master of the Feng family, is it Emperor Zhen's concubine?" ”
Kangxi was silent for a long time, "The head of the Feng family, Yu Tianxianglou, hasn't he already admitted that he is Feng Li?" ”
"However, everyone can see that the master of the Feng family is a handsome man." Goatee's middle-aged rebuttal. Kangxi smiled, "Bare land, that's my imperial concubine, I know her better than anyone else." If it weren't for the years I have spent so many years of hard work, I wouldn't have believed that my imperial concubine has such a means and ability, turning her hands into clouds and her hands into rain. ”
Said it proudly, and the middle-aged Li Guangdi also thought about the recent affairs of the imperial court, the affairs of Jiangnan, no matter how you look at it, it is not peaceful. Could it be that none of this has anything to do with the imperial concubine?
With such speculation, Li Guangdi didn't dare to say it! I just thought that in the past few years since the news of the death of Emperor Zhen's concubine came out, the palace has never heard the emperor's words of favoring that concubine, no matter what, it is not a rumor that Emperor Zhen's concubine is the love of the master in front of him.
"How's the cutlass door?" Kangxi asked with an eyelid, and Li Guangdi replied: "According to rumors, the head of the Feng family and the master of the scimitar sect will fight in Qinhuai tomorrow, and the two parties agree that the master of the scimitar sect wins, and the head of the Feng family will help him to dominate the rivers and lakes." On the contrary, if the head of the Feng family wins, the scimitar gate will return to Miao Jiang, and the head of the Feng family will never step into the Central Plains during his lifetime. ”
Kangxi was stunned, and said in a very soft voice, is that so? Then he asked, "What about the Heaven and Earth Society and Yan Tower?" ”
Li Guangdi shut up, Kangxi was also shocked to make a mistake, this news, what Li Guangdi knew was something that everyone knew, and how could he find out about the things he was hiding behind his back.
"What did Jackie Chan say to you, something related to the Feng family?" Kangxi asked the topic as soon as he changed the topic, Li Guangdi couldn't get Kangxi's thoughts, but he still said honestly: "The Yellow River controls the water, it seems that the head of the Feng family also knows a little bit about it, and Brother Jackie Chan said that he was fortunate to have his guidance." ”
Kangxi nodded and waved him down. Li Guangdi didn't dare to stay, but he just got out of the cabin, but he quickly wiped his sweat, but he didn't know what the master had in mind, so he left the Queen Mother and his party and went straight to Yangzhou, so that Xu led all the people of the Wen Mansion away, brought back the child, and did not tell anyone the identity of the child.
However, he has followed Kangxi for many years, but he has never seen Kangxi treat people so patiently. No, no, no, you can't be so presumptuous about your heart, and you are like a tiger, since Kangxi has never introduced the identity of the child, it means that he doesn't want people to think about it. In this way, he should not know anything, just a child, even if there is nothing in the harem these years, Kangxi has grown up to be a lot of princesses.
It's just that in the cabin, Li Guangdi retreated, and Mo Qi came in, holding a stack of books and paper and handing it to Kangxi's hand, "The people of Yan Lou have always wanted to take the Feng family for themselves, not only because of the wealth of the Feng family, but also because of the people of the Feng family, they are also the goal of Yan Lou." ”
Kangxi flipped through the information in his hand and took a general look, "According to what you see, how sure are the Feng family that they can win in the face of Yan Lou and the Heaven and Earth Society?" ”
The affairs of the rivers and lakes, naturally, the people of the rivers and lakes are more clear, Mo Qi is a child and learned from a famous teacher, before he finished learning, he also traveled with the master in the rivers and lakes, and over the years he has helped Kangxi manage the news channels below, but he has a better understanding of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
"If it is just against Yan Lou and the Heaven and Earth Society, the Feng family is half sure that they can win. But over the years, although the Feng family has not been swallowed by Yan Lou, it is also very chaotic, there is no serious master, they all do their own thing, and they have chosen to be in charge for three or five years, but there are too few people who are convinced. Mo Qi vaguely proposed that external troubles are easy to solve, but internal worries are the most worrying.
"Your Majesty, how did you drop the scimitar door, and the scimitar door also regards the Feng family as a thorn in the eye, and it is necessary to get rid of it quickly. With such a great opportunity, there is no reason why the scimitar door should not make a move. Mo Qi thought for a while before coming back to his senses and pointed out Kangxi's fallen scimitar door.
Kangxi didn't explain much, but Mo Qi said: "Your Majesty, if we tend to fight on these sides, should we also be prepared to wipe them out when they are both defeated!" ”
That's a good idea! The more Mo Qi thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and looked at Kangxi with a smile, "The emperor has been worried about the rivers and lakes for many years, and heaven and earth will assassinate the emperor repeatedly, but because his helmsman Chen Jinnan is brave and strategic, he has hidden his deeds too well over the years, so that he can survive in secret." Now he is out again, if he doesn't seize this opportunity to wipe out all the thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and stay until the next time, I don't know when he will get it. ”
"There is also Yan Lou, there are people in the court who collude with Yan Lou, Yan Lou specializes in murder, and does many unrighteous things, but the people of Yan Lou are good at hiding, and they have not found out the location of Yan Lou for so many years, now that they have the idea of the Feng family, they will definitely come out, we should follow the vine and touch the melons, and we will definitely arrest all the people in Yan Lou and ask the traitors in the court!" Mo Qi's face was full of fighting spirit, indicating his attitude of sharing worries for Kangxi.
But this look at Kangxi, Kangxi was in a daze, Mo Qi's passion was hit to the point that there was not much left, and he glanced at Kangxi several times, but Kangxi was stunned and didn't mean to return to his senses, Mo Qi was sad, he endured it and endured it, but he still couldn't hold back, and called, "Your Majesty!" ”
Kangxi's eyes swept towards him, Mo Qi shuddered, and quickly lowered his head, looking stupid that I didn't see anything......
"I have my own opinions on these things, so let your subordinates keep an eye on it, and you don't have to interfere!" Kangxi gave the order. Mo Qi was anxious when he heard this, "Your Majesty, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!" ”
"Aren't you afraid that it's a trick for people, waiting for the court to come out, and also to reap the benefits of a fisherman? Chen Jinnan, Yan Lou, Feng Jia, which one do you think is a simple person? If it is a simple person, how can we confront each other so far! Kangxi said, waved his hand and said: "Yiqiē act according to my order, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes will not interfere for the time being, just watch them act." ”
Mo Qi couldn't, and he had to do what he was told. (Want to know more exciting news about "The Age of Collapse"?)
