Half an hour later to the manor, this is Wu Shizi's private village - Chengxiang Villa, Qi Liang is also the first time to come, Xiao Liuzi led the way in front, through a wide lawn, to the left side of the 50 meters to the manor stables, where a slip of the stable, all kinds of horses, the innermost horse shed in the horse is very special, their body shape is a big section shorter than all the horses.

"This is the Yunnan horse?" Cao Yin pointed to the stable and asked, quite disdainful, looking incomparable to the horse he was riding.

Xiao Liuzi said: "Exactly! ”

Cao Yin circled around the stables to observe, Qi Liang was simply generous, and ordered: "Lead a horse out and let Cao guards try it!" ”

A groom responded: "Zha! ”

As soon as the horse was pulled out, Cao Yin jumped up, his movements were very chic and neat, trotting two laps, and the stable was already dusty.

After a few laps, Cao Yin's impression of this short-legged Yunnan horse suddenly changed, and he grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse, praising it: "What a horse! I just don't know who runs faster, the Yunnan horse or the Mongolian horse? Son, why don't we give it a try? "He's in high spirits.

Here it comes! really responded to the plot in the novel, Qi Liang shook his head bitterly. "Guard Cao likes it, I'll let my subordinates compete with you!" He doesn't want to go crazy with a child, he can't wait to kill the other party now, he has regarded Cao Yin as Wei Xiaobao, and Wei Xiaobao is the culprit of Wu Yingxiong's escape plan in the novel.

"It's good! Just wait here for a while, and we'll be back soon! Cao Yin led the horse and walked out.

"Gu Ziming! Li Fenxian! You two play with Cao Guard! Qi Liang turned around and ordered the two guards.

"Piercing!" Two men stepped forward, one leading the other to follow.

"What? Are Cao guards also ready to ride Yunnan horses? Qi Liang looked at Cao Yin strangely.

Cao Yin said very naturally: "I love this Yunnan bantam very much, and I haven't seen its soaring demeanor just now for a while!" ”

"Good!" Qi Liang praised, "Gu Ziming rides the horse of Cao's guards, the two of you compete, whoever wins is the owner of the horse you ride!" ”

Cao Yin was stunned, the Mongolian horse he rode was a royal horse fed with egg mixture every day!

"Piercing!" Gu Ziming was overjoyed and couldn't wait to respond.

Cao Yin reluctantly said: "Brother Gu, please!" ”

The contest consists of climbing over the hill in front of you, and whoever returns to the manor first wins. This is the competition plan proposed by Cao Yin, and he fully grasped the characteristics of Yunnan Ma Nai running and climbing.

Qi Liang agreed, and quietly walked Gu Ziming and said in a low voice: "Gu Ziming! You must give me a win! ”

The two horses galloped out like arrows, and after a while, Gu Ziming overtook Cao Yin.

"The best thing is the best horse!" Qi Liang praised, and in the blink of an eye, the two horses disappeared from sight.

Three quarters of an hour later, Cao Yin was the first to appear in people's sight, but in the end it was Gu Ziming who arrived first.

Cao Yin's face was depressed: "I am willing to gamble and lose, my horse is Brother Gu's!" ”

Qi Liang laughed and said generously: "Forget it, it's just for fun, this imperial horse Cao guard should ride back, I don't dare to rob the emperor's horse!" ”

"Thank you, Shizi!" After losing and regaining, Cao Yin was overjoyed, and returned to the palace with a little reprimand.

"That's it! Everyone is tired, let's go into the manor and rest for a while! Qi Liang said.

Cao Yin said goodbye: "No! It's not too early, and I'm going back to the palace! ”

Qi Liang hurriedly said: "It's almost noon, won't the Cao guards have lunch before leaving?" ”

Cao Yin said: "Today has been disturbing the world for a long time, and I feel very uneasy! The humble still needs to return to the palace to restore his life, so he will leave! ”

Qi Liang didn't really want to keep people, and said: "Since Cao Guards have official business, I don't dare to keep them, and I will have someone send you the Pu'er tea you want." ”

"Thank you, Shizi!" After Cao Yin beat a thousand children, he jumped on the horse, and slapped away with a confession.

Seeing Cao Yin's back disappear, Qi Liang turned around and hatefully ordered: "Pay attention to these Yunnan horses, and don't allow anyone to approach to avoid anyone drugged!" In the novel "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Wu Yingxiong's Yunnan horse who fled for his life was drugged by Wei Xiaobao.

Qi Liang did not return to the city at the beginning, and after returning to the city, he went directly to the palace.

From the noon gate, two rows of forbidden soldiers, arranged like nails, dragged a long gilt with a broad-brimmed broadsword worn at the waist. The guards were like statues of gods cast in iron, standing tall with their swords pressed and not blinking. After passing the square, Qi Liang wanted to go directly to Cining Palace to pick up Princess Jianning.

"Dare to ask the front, but Wu Yingxiong's forehead?" A delicate little yellow door came down the steps, and Qi Liang, who was walking in a hurry, was stopped.

"I don't know if my father-in-law has good advice?" Qi Liang stopped and asked.

Xiao Huangmen said respectfully: "The emperor asked the prince to go to the Qianqing Palace first!"

Obviously, the little eunuch was pre-arranged by Kangxi to wait for him here, and when he contacted the message of Cao Yin, the imperial guard in the morning, Qi Liang suddenly became panicked.

Seeing that the prince was silent for a long time, Xiao Liuzi approached Qi Liang and reminded: "Master! This is the little eunuch next to the emperor - Xiao Jingzi! ”

Qi Liang, the little scripture son, heard Qian Yunfang say that he had meritorious service in killing and worshipping, and he had been promoted to the chief eunuch of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Qi Liang wrote down the small scriptures and said, "Please let your father-in-law lead the way!" ”

Qianqing Palace is the main palace of the imperial palace, the yellow glazed tile heavy eaves of the palace top, step on the white marble steps, into the hall covered with gold bricks, Qi Liang even dare not penetrate the atmosphere, the gold is too luxurious, on the spacious platform in front of the palace, there are copper turtles, copper cranes, sundials, Jialiang on the left and right respectively, there are gilt incense burners 4 in front, copper cranes, the mouth of Jin Ao spews out curling smoke, like the fairyland of the heavenly palace.

Kangxi stepped on the green satin cool soap boots, and walked out in a stone blue single gold dragon coat, Qi Liang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Minister Wu Yingxiong respectfully invites the emperor to Sheng'an!" ”

Kangxi was jade, elegant, without the slightest jewel, and said: "Please get up!" ”

Hearing that Kangxi was still polite, Qi Liang was relieved. "The emperor summoned Ying Xiong, I don't know what the holy edict is?" He got up.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that there was a major murder in West Hutong a few days ago, I don't know if you heard about it?" Kangxi looked at Qi Liang.

Qi Liang said calmly: "Ying Xiong heard about this matter that night!" I remember that it was Mrs. Suo's birthday, and after Ying Xiong came back from Suofu, this matter has spread all over the city! ”

Kangxi stared at Qi Liang: "Do you know who did it?" ”

Qi Liang shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

Kangxi asked in an accentuated tone: "Do you know who the deceased are?" ”

Qi Liang said: "On the second day, I knew that the people who died were all the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty and the puppet Mu Wangfu!" He suddenly knelt down heavily: "The emperor won't suspect that Ying Xiong did it, right?" In this way, Ying Xiong can only prove his innocence by dying! He took advance as retreat, and no longer gave Kangxi a chance to follow the temptation.

Kangxi Tie's face was blue: "Hurry up, please get up, when did I say that it was you who did it?" ”

Qi Liang immediately thanked Ling Wei: "The emperor is sage!" ”

Kangxi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger and said: "Although the pseudo-Mu Wangfu is a thief, but the Son of Heaven is so ganged up to commit murder, and the perpetrator is no different from the thief, and I will arrest the murderer and punish him severely." ”

Qi Liang secretly sneered: "How can the murderer be so easy to hold? However, he also secretly regretted it in his heart, secretly scolding himself for not thinking about it well, didn't such a large-scale assassination expose his strength and attract attention?

Qi Liang bowed down and said: "The emperor can order the whole city to search and arrest, and the murderer will definitely have nowhere to escape!" ”

Kangxi waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, this matter is the responsibility of the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion." Then he asked, "Do you know that you have been arguing fiercely lately?" ”

Qi Liangzuo shook his head blankly, and Kangxi sighed bitterly: "There are rakshasas in the north of the country who loot the land and burn it; In the west, Geldan claimed to be king without permission; There are Taiwan Zheng thieves harassing Haijiang in the east, and there are floods in the Yellow River and Huai River. ”

Qi Liang said secretly: "There should be one less sentence: there are three feudatories in the south that have separated from Germany." ”

Kangxi glanced at it, and then said: "The imperial court is stretched thin, and it is impossible to make ends meet, and many ministers have played to cut the feudal domain to balance the expenses of the imperial court. ”

Qi Liang cautiously asked, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Kangxi said helplessly: "Every year, the Pingxi Royal Mansion in Yunnan pays more than 9 million taels, plus the Pingnan Royal Mansion in Guangdong and the Jingnan Royal Mansion in Fujian Province pay a total of more than 20 million taels, accounting for half of the total wealth of the imperial court. ”

Qi Liang knew that the three feudatories had a lot of salary, but he was still startled by the figures listed by Kangxi, no wonder Kangxi hung the three major books of the three feudatories, river affairs, and Caoyun on the pillar in the palace all night.

Qi Liang knelt down in fear: "Let the saint be annoyed, the subordinates deserve death!" ”

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business!" He also asked meaningfully, "What do you think about the cutting of the feudal domain?" ”

Qi Liang immediately confessed his heart: "The minister is in favor of cutting the domain!" ”

Kangxi said quietly: "The three feudal clans are loyal to the country and have made great contributions to my Qing Dynasty, so I am afraid that the three princes will have a gap in their hearts!" ”

Qi Liang said: "Ying Xiong is willing to write to his father Chen to tell him about this, I believe that my father will definitely put the interests of the court first and implement the emperor's holy decree to the letter!" ”

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction: "So good!" Greetings, please get up and speak! Then he instructed: "Xiao Jingzi to sit on the forehead!" ”

Xiao Jingzi fell into the dust, moved a brocade pier, and Qi Liang wiped his sweat and sat down next to half a fart.

"I heard that Edon recently bought another manor?" Kangxi suddenly asked again, playing with a paper fan in his hand as if it was very casual.

Qi Liang chuckled, half of his buttocks that had just sat down almost fell off Xiudun, cold sweat broke out, and he forced himself to calm down: "It's just a small manor, for summer escape!" "The manor was purchased in secret many times, and I didn't expect that the little emperor would know about it in just a few days.

Kangxi scolded secretly: "What little manor? My harem spends no more than 30,000 taels a year, and your little manor costs 33,450 taels! On the surface, he smiled: "It's good to escape the heat!" I also want to see what the manor that can make my forehead like look like? ”

"I don't dare to enter the eyes of the Holy Dharma, but there is indeed a good well in Llama Manor that is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the well water is sweet and mellow!" Qi Liang said as relaxed as he could. If he knew that Kangxi even knew that the money he bought from the manor was not bad, he didn't know what to think?

"Ou! I'm going to have to go see it! Kangxi said.

Qi Liang said: "Ying Xiong is waiting for the Holy Lord to come at any time!" ”

Kangxi smiled: "Okay! Hurry up and go to Cining Palace to pick up the imperial aunt! The Imperial Aunt may not be able to wait! ”

Qi Liang bent ninety degrees: "Your Majesty retires!" He kept retreating, and did not turn until he was almost at the door of the temple, and as he went out, he stumbled on the door frame so hard that he almost stumbled, and stumbled before he could stand still.
