In the majestic Forbidden City, like a fairyland on earth, the handsome Kangxi Emperor came down from the Qianqing Palace, and the eunuchs waited to change into their regular clothes and went to the imperial study to study.

Kangxi was diligent and studious, and loved to learn, and he learned Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese languages as well as archery and archery since he was a child. He is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and likes to study the history of the scriptures, "Historical Records", "Han Shu", "Questions", and "Poems" are his compulsory courses. He paid special attention to morality, set up a daily lecture and a scripture feast system, and ordered the lecturers to take turns to teach Confucian classics every day. He also studied mathematics, geography, astronomy, philosophy, music, pharmacology, anatomy and other natural sciences, recruited the land of knowledge and arithmetic as an official, and appointed Western missionaries as teachers. The most commendable thing is that Kangxi writes good calligraphy, which he has learned since he was a child, and he has practiced it in the cold and summer.

Kangxi moved to the imperial study, there were already people waiting in the imperial study, and the ceremonial courtyard (the former dynasty was the ceremonial supervisor, and it was changed to the ceremonial courtyard during the Shunzhi period, and the sixteenth year of Kangxi was renamed the Zhangli Division) The supervisor Gao Qiang knelt on the ground to greet him: "The slave respectfully invites long live the Lord Sheng'an!" ”

Kangxi was dressed in a dragon turmeric silk coat, holding a paper fan in his hand, gentle and elegant, with a graceful demeanor, he raised his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" Gao Qiang got up from the ground.

Kangxi stepped into the study, retreated left and right, and said, "If there is something, say it!" "Gao Qiang is the eunuch he designated to be in charge of the work of emotional governance.

Gao Qiang humbled and said: "Your Majesty! After receiving the report, the Elu Mansion has laid off about half of its personnel, and all the informants we have planted have been eliminated! ”

Kangxi frowned, what does this Wu Dog Bear want to do? "Is it specifically for our informants?"

Gao Qiang shook his head and said, "Not really! There are also a considerable number of old servants and ministers of the Mansion, and some of them are still from Yunnan! ”

"When?" Kangxi Zhan fanned him twice.

Gao Qiang said: "The morning before yesterday! ”

"Why did you report now?" Kangxi snapped and closed the fan and stood up.

Gao Qiang was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground and slammed his head on the ground: "The slave should die!" Damn the minions! "I don't dare to explain.

Gao Qiang was personally promoted by Kangxi, and he still trusted him, knowing the complexity of intelligence work, and he didn't blindly blame, and said: "Find a way to infiltrate the Efu Mansion again." ”

The ceremonial court belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which in turn was an institution that specialized in the management of court affairs. The Rite House is responsible for the inner court sacrifices, etiquette, music and dance, and the eunuch grade, orchard taxes and other affairs, Gao Qiang is the palm print eunuch of the Rite Academy, and Liu Jin, the great eunuch of the former dynasty, was in this position for a while!

"Piercing!" The strong body is bent at 90 degrees.

"Let's go down first!" Kangxi waved his hand, thinking about how Emperor Jianning did it, there was no news after going back for so many days, and he didn't report it.

After Gao Qiang left, Kangxi couldn't calm down for a while to read, and summoned Cao Yin to ask: "Dongting!" So what has happened to Wu Shizi recently? ”

Cao Yin said: "Long live! I didn't see any movement from him, I saw him running in and out of the city, as if he was running his villa very carefully, and some people from Yunnan he also reported to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, and the Internal Affairs Office also knew about this matter, and most of the people from Yunnan returned a few days later. ”

"How is the imperial court discussing the withdrawal of the feudal domain?" Kangxi sat down with a heavy heart.

Cao Yin said worriedly: "The two departments of the household and the army and the minister of the council king Baylor have all made a setback, but there are few people who are in favor of withdrawing the feudal domain, and most of them are not in favor, but the criminal department Shangshu Mo Luo, the household department Shangshu Mi Sihan, and the military department Shangshu Mingzhu and so on please cut the feudal domain!" ”

"How did the San Francisco react?" Kangxi is troubled.

Cao Yin said: "I haven't seen any recitals come up!" ”

Kangxi originally intended to create public opinion in the court and spy on the attitude of the three feudatories, but the old scheming of the three feudatories has not responded for a long time, and he is now a little difficult to ride a tiger, and a careless accident may endanger the foundation of the Qing Dynasty! "Dongtei! Let Imperial Aunt Jianning enter the palace! He wanted to know what was going on in the Efu Mansion, and what was Imperial Aunt Jianning thinking?

Princess Jianning was sent into the palace by the eunuch Zhang Wanqiang, but it was the decree of the empress dowager, and when she entered the palace, she knew that it was the emperor who wanted to see her.

"Jian Ning congratulates St. Ann!" Princess Jianning knelt down slowly.

Kangxi hurriedly stepped forward to help: "The imperial aunt is exempt!" ”

"The emperor summoned Jianning to meet him, I don't know what the holy edict is?" Princess Jianning has been sad these days, and since she came back from Ganlu Temple that day, she has never met Qi Liang again, and Qi Liang is either in Luoma Villa or Chengxiang Villa.

"How is the imperial aunt doing recently?" After all, he is his beloved elder, Kangxi can't be too businesslike, and said hello.

"Emperor Xie is worried, Jianning is fine!" Jianning was led by Kangxi and sat down.

"How many days will the imperial aunt go back and find out?" Kangxi asked casually, pretending to be very unconcerned.

Here it comes! Princess Jianning knew that she would come sooner or later, so she said unhurriedly: "Jianning has not found anything abnormal!" ”

Kangxi sighed secretly, has the imperial aunt forgotten the interests of the royal family? He already knew that the West Hutong incident was the work of the Efu Mansion, he just wanted to further explore the strength of the Efu Mansion, and under the current circumstances, he did not dare and would not take any action against the Efu Mansion.

"I heard that the Efu Mansion has recently laid off a large number of servants and miscellaneous servants?" Kangxi stared at Princess Jianning motionlessly with bright eyes.

Princess Jianning said truthfully: "There is indeed this matter, and this matter was reported to Jianning earlier, and Jianning agreed." She wondered how the emperor could be concerned about such a trivial matter?

Kangxi was deeply disappointed, his face was no longer so good-looking, and now he didn't know whether he should ask Jianning about some things. No, Princess Jianning said to herself: "Although there are fewer people in the Efu Mansion now, Jianning knows that its strength has increased!" ”

Europe! Kangxi blinked, happy, happy for Princess Jianning's words. Princess Jianning felt a pain in her heart, why should she be such a person? Is it for the benefit of the royal family? In the past, she didn't feel like this when she told the emperor about the affairs of the house, but since her forehead recovered from her injury, she has changed a little.

"Jianning also knows that there is an elite team of people from Yunnan in Chengxiang Villa!" Princess Jianning felt that she was a shell talking, without thought and soul.

"Didn't all the people from Yunnan go back?" Kangxi's expression tightened.

Princess Jianning said: "There are still more than 100 people who have not left, all of them are dead soldiers who are one in a hundred, some of them have filled the vacancy after the reduction of the Efu Mansion, and some of them are led by a thousand households named Tang Daomu who live in seclusion in Chengxiang Villa, Tang Daomu is a master of Dong'an Boxing." ”

Qi Liang deceived many people by first dismissing some of the coachmen and grooms, and then letting them disperse back and disguise themselves as sergeants.

Damn it! Kangxi slapped on the chair with a snap, annoyed by the intelligence department's dereliction of duty. But Princess Jianning thought that he was angry with Qi Liang, and hurriedly said: "I didn't hide this matter, and I also told Jianning!" This is her subconscious action.

Kangxi was all worried: "The imperial aunt is worried, let's add some inner guards for you!" "This move kills two birds with one stone, which can not only strengthen the security of Princess Jianning, but also infiltrate the Eyu Mansion in large numbers.

Princess Jianning said: "Thank you for your care! Although the forehead made a big move on the house, it was out of expenditure considerations, and did not move the inner government at all. ”

If it's really because of spending considerations, he's hell, and he's short of money? Kangxi secretly sneered, the imperial aunt was too naïve, and people had eliminated all my informants.

Princess Jianning saw that Kangxi was silent, her face was cloudy and sunny, and she was stunned in her heart, she didn't dare to mention one thing, she thought about it for a long time, and finally said to Ai Ai: "Your Majesty!" Efu wants to send Shifan to Yunnan, and begs the emperor for permission! ”

Kangxi grimaced, glanced at it and said, "This is the idea of the prince of Pingxi!" ”

Princess Jianning let out a light "um".

Kangxi was angry: "He wants to see his grandson, let him come to Beijing to see!" ”

Princess Jianning was stunned and didn't dare to say anything again. After a long time, Kangxi calmed down his anger, consciously lost his temper, and apologized to Jianning, his tone was calm but his face did not change: "The imperial aunt should go and see the Empress Dowager!" ”
