Chapter 37: Being teased
The voice of the deacon eunuch shouting was transmitted for a long time in the Forbidden City, Qi Liang lifted his official robe and followed the eunuch almost trotting forward, he felt that the sun was very big today, the last place he wanted to enter was this palace, and the person he didn't want to see the most was Kangxi who he wanted to see now.
"Slave Wu Yingxiong respectfully invites long live St. Ann!" Entering the south study, Qi Liang immediately performed the bow of the chief, knelt down a few times, he was numb, and people were really servile.
"Give the forehead a seat!" Kangxi sat upright, and the momentum of the majestic village naturally came out.
Qi Liang lay on the ground and did not dare to get up, and then said: "Your Majesty! My father brought something from Yunnan to let Ying Xiong pay homage to the emperor and the queen mother! Then he took out a small fold from his bosom and held it high on his head, which was still hanging low.
A small yellow door stepped forward to take it, turned around and knelt down and handed it to Kangxi.
"King Pingxi has a heart!" Kangxi took the fold and unfolded it, and there was a long list of valuables densely packed on it, such as plum and bamboo embroidery in the Song Dynasty, white glazed porcelain in the Tang Dynasty, portrait mirrors in the Sui Dynasty, dragon and tiger jade pendants in the Warring States Period, etc., which is just a point?
Qi Liang knew that Kangxi loved calligraphy, so he picked up a scroll of calligraphy and paintings he carried with him and said: "This is the "Boyuan Post" specially dedicated to the emperor's Wang Xun!" β
All the ministers were moved, Wang Xun is a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the nephew of Wang Xizhi, his book "Bo Yuan Sticker" is called a rare treasure, the line of calligraphy pen is strong, the state is sluggish, charming and convenient, it is a typical Wang style, Kangxi's favorite is this style.
Kangxi was pleasantly surprised, and took the Boyuan sticker presented by the little yellow door but didn't even look at it, turned his hand and put it aside and said, "Talk up!" "But I was secretly scolding in my heart, if this loser doesn't understand, don't take this "Boyuan Post" indiscriminately, it is soaked in sweat, and it is folded and folded.
Qi Liang still didn't dare to get up, and said stubbornly: "The slave implores the emperor to grant the slave a request!" β
Kangxi said indifferently: "What request?" Go ahead! β
Qi Liang took a deep breath and said, "My father is old, he knows the destiny of heaven, and he misses his children and grandchildren. β
Kangxi changed color, but immediately recovered: "King Rongma of Pingxi has made great contributions to my Qing Dynasty all his life, and it is normal for people to lick calves in old age!" He glanced around, pushed the question down and asked, "What do you think?" β
Shangshu Mingzhu of the Ministry of War stood up and said: "The prince of Pingxi wants to see his grandson come to Beijing, why let the prince and grandson run thousands of miles and suffer from that bump?" β
Qi Liang glared at him hatefully and said, "My father is busy with official business, how can he come as soon as he comes?" β
Mingzhu smiled and said interestingly: "Isn't the prince of Pingxi busy when he asks for resignation and withdrawing the domain?" This was the crux of the matter, and he despised Qi Liang.
Qi Liang said: "The matter of withdrawing the feudal domain still needs to be decided by the emperor, and the matter of withdrawing the feudal domain is complicated and the project is huge, how can it be done in a short time?" Isn't it possible to reunite my father with my grandson during this time? β
Mingzhu pointed out meaningfully: "The question is, does Prince Pingxi really just want to meet his grandson?" "Don't save face for Qi Liang at all.
Qi Liang was furious: "Does Lord Mingzhu think that his father will rebel?" Knowing that it is useless to please, he is not afraid of offending Mingzhu.
Mingzhu's tall body swayed, his face was full of expressions, and he was waiting to fight back, Kangxi said in time: "The prince doesn't need to be excited, the prince of Pingxi is loyal to my Qing Dynasty, the sun and the moon can be seen, thinking that he is old and frail and sickly, I also want him to return to Beijing to recuperate and enjoy his old age." "Dealing with chicks like Qi Liang, whether it is the old treacherous and slippery pearl or the eloquent and intelligent Kangxi, they are all handy.
Qi Liang looked at Suo Etu expectantly, hoping that he could help him say a few words, and as soon as he touched Suo Etu, he looked away in a panic. Qi Liang sighed secretly, how can the relationship between money and money be relied upon at a critical moment? "Your Majesty! The slave has written back to Yunnan to persuade his father to ask for the withdrawal of the domain, and his father is considering this matter! "The goal was not achieved, but he was forced to express his political attitude first, and his heart was very angry.
Kangxi said pretendedly: "This matter is not in a hurry!" Suddenly said outside: "Lord Zhou, come in and tell me your opinion on this matter!" Zhou Peigong was dangling outside, and everyone saw it, but Qi Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't see it. Zhou Peigong was walking in the upper study at this time, as a full-time staff officer.
Qi Liang turned his head to look back, Zhou Peigong just stepped into the door, glanced at him in a complicated way, and then knelt on the ground to greet Kangxi: "Slave Peigong bows to Sheng'an!" He had something to ask to see the emperor, but now he can only postpone and answer Kangxi first, saying: "The slave thinks that the king of Pingxi thinks that his children and grandchildren are true, and it is not realistic to withdraw the feudal domain now and let the prince of Pingxi return to Beijing, the emperor can issue an order to allow the prince of Pingxi to take a three-month or half-year public vacation, so that the prince can come to Beijing to reunite with his children and grandchildren and share the joy of family, but it is absolutely inappropriate to send the prince and grandson to Yunnan!" He won't explain why it's wrong.
Listening to Zhou Peigong's words, Qi Liang's heart kept sinking, Zhou Peigong was insidious! Can I go back if I let King Pingxi come to Beijing? Why did he work so hard for the Manchus?
Qi Liang, who was not afraid of Zhou Peigong's confession to Kangxi in the conversation with Zhou Peigong that day, now who does not suspect that the three feudatories have objections? However, as long as the three feudatories did not really cause trouble, it cannot be said that the three feudatories rebelled, and the two met separately that day and said that there was no evidence.
"Pei Gong's suggestion is very good, I don't know what the prince thinks?" Kangxi nodded with satisfaction and gave Zhou Pei a glance of approval. Of course, he would not be naΓ―ve to think that the prince of Pingxi would come to Beijing soon, and the prince of Pingxi would definitely find a suitable reason to refuse.
Enzhun is basically hopeless, Qi Liang knew that this matter would not be so easy to give, and said a little discouraged: "This matter should not be the master, it depends on the meaning of the father!" He thought that Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, would come to the capital, and from then on he would be able to be a peaceful forehead comfortably!
Kangxi smiled: "I can go back and discuss with the prince of Pingxi slowly, I am waiting!" I am very grateful for sending so many rare and strange treasures this time, and I understand that the prince is old and frail, and I can also allow the prince of Pingxi to take more time off, and it doesn't hurt to take a year or two! β
"Thank you, Lord Longen, allow Ying Xiong to retire!" Qi Liang was half angry to death.
Seeing Qi Liang suffocating, Kangxi was secretly happy, and said, "Go down!" β
"Emperor Xie!" Qi Liang bowed and retreated, and only turned to leave when he went out.
Out of the Forbidden City, Qian Yunfang asked eagerly: "Shizi!" What do you think? Gui Ming also followed, looking at Qi Liang expectantly.
Qi Liang grimaced, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you want you to assassinate Zhou Peigong?" β
The two were stunned, what does this have to do with Zhou Peigong? Gui Ming bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Humble and incompetent, please forgive the son!" "Now the military affairs have been safely transferred to Gui Ming, and Qian Yunfang is in charge of the internal affairs of the Efu Mansion.
Qi Liang didn't want to listen to these nonsense, and said in an accentuated tone: "Say! What's going on? β
Gui Ming said worriedly: "Recently, Zhou Peigong has rarely left the palace, and he has not had a chance!" β
Qi Liang was angry today, his heart was full of resentment, and he said with hatred: "Find a way to kill him as soon as possible!" Then he added, "And the pearl!" β
Qian Yunfang and Gui Ming were stunned, what's wrong with the prince today? Gui Ming lamented, is the Shangshu Pearl of the Ministry of War so easy to kill? If there is bitterness in my heart, I can only obey the order: "Yes!" β
