Chapter 34: Knocking Over the Dog Food Bowl (I)
PS: In the new week, rush to the list to ask for flowers and votes for collection)
The news of the little traitor Wu Yingxiong made a big fuss in the lobby of the Ministry of Officials and made a fuss about a godfather, which spread throughout the nine cities inside and outside in less than two hours, and the two major authorities in Beijing Kangxi and Ao Bai had already put on the detailed report of the little traitor before and after entering the Ministry of Officials. The two parties, Jinghai General Shi Lang (Note 1), and Shangshu Jishi, the Ministry of Officials, were respectively called in front of them by their respective superiors to ask them about the details of the little traitor's godfather.
Bloom a few flowers, each with a branch, just say that the little traitor Wu Yingxiong 'sick in bed' uncle Ao Bai, who hid for a day, received the news not long after entering the dark, Ao Bai was also very interested in Wu Yingxiong, the godfather who suddenly appeared, and hurriedly called the think tank Ban Bushan to inquire, but Ba Bushan was not familiar with Yao Qisheng's life experience, Ao Bai had to sneak Ji Shiti into the study again, and asked him about Yao Qisheng's situation.
As soon as Ji Shi sat down, Ao Bai asked straight to the point: "Ji Shi, as far as the old man knows, Wu Yingxiong's godfather Yao Qisheng suddenly appeared, and you personally transferred him to Beijing to report on his work." But he is an alcoholic and derelict official from the eighth grade, and the Taoist and Futai in the province can handle his promotion and leveling, why do you have to go all the way to transfer him to Beijing? Dealing with such small things personally? Ao Bai thought about it and added, "Could it be that this Yao Qisheng is not simple, and has a special background?" ”
"Xiangye expected it very much, but there is one point, that Yao Qisheng is not simple, it is simply extraordinary." Ji Shi sighed and explained: "Others are getting bigger and bigger when they are officials, but this Yao Qisheng is getting smaller and smaller, as early as the Shunzhi period, he was already the governor of Fujian, because he secretly funded Zheng Chenggong to take over Taiwan, he was demoted to a vassal department, and he served as a crime; Later, because he repeatedly quarreled with his boss, he was demoted to a Taoist platform; then trans-provincial overstepping the authority to handle the case, and was demoted to the county magistrate; And then even I don't know what the reason is, and I was demoted from the Sesame Officer of the Eighth Rank to serve in the Mohe Army! A few years ago, he was about to be dismissed for drunkenness and dereliction of duty, and I happened to see the official document that had been reported, so I transferred him to Beijing. ”
"Secretly funding the anti-thief Zheng Chenggong to take over? Is this a capital crime of killing a head and robbing a family? Can he just be relegated? Bamburshan asked in surprise. Ji Shi sighed again, "This old man is called Hanako is poisoned, all the physical evidence was destroyed by him, and the human evidence was destroyed, and even the subordinate officials who secretly reported him to the court hanged themselves at home, and if there is no evidence, they can't kill him." For this reason, the emperor also secretly issued a secret decree to the officials, so that this Yao Qisheng could only be lowered in grade for the rest of his life, and not promoted! ”
"I see." Ban Bushan nodded, already understanding the reason why Yao Qisheng had fallen to this point. Ji Shi concluded: "Xiangye Mingjian, although this Yao Qisheng has an unruly and cynical personality, he is indeed talented and resourceful, and the villain transferred him to Beijing just to let him go to Xiangye and serve Xiangye." And there is a more important point, the former emperor Shunzhi once decreed that Yao Qisheng should not be promoted for life, and with this alone, you can use him with confidence. ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity." Ao Bai patted his leg and said regretfully: "Jishi, there is such a great talent who was transferred to Beijing by you, why don't you tell the old man in advance?" The old man can also pick up the wind and wash the dust for him. Now it's okay, it's cheap Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong. And Bamburshan secretly screamed that it was a pity - Jishi was actually a member of Bambulshan's gang, and Yao Qisheng was transferred to Beijing to be appointed, mainly to serve him Bambulshan.
"Xiangye, Xia Guan wants to surprise you." Ji Shi said with a sad face: "Who would have thought that Yao Qisheng entered Beijing today, and the lower official happened to be not in the yamen, and he was troubled by Ren Dinghang on Kangxi's side, and that Wu Yingxiong recognized Yao Qisheng as his godfather." ”
"Is Yao Qisheng really his godfather?" Bambul twisted his beard and said in his heart that if this Yao Qisheng was really Wu Yingxiong's godfather, then naturally there was nothing to say, but if not, then Wu Yingxiong's scheming and machine changes would be too terrible. At this time, Ao Bai also sighed and said: "Forget it, probably this is the fate that the Han people often say, when the matter of military salary is over, the old man will meet that Yao Qisheng again, and see if he is willing to change the court to serve under the old man." Remember clearly, don't meet that Wu Yingxiong these days, let alone go to see him, lest he make it difficult for us to take the matter of military salary. ”
At the same time, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, after figuring out Yao Qisheng's 'glorious' demotion road, Kangxi also let go of a talent with regret beating his chest, and Shi Lang, the general of Jinghai in the main hall, clenched his fists to Kangxi and said: "Long live, the minister was indeed a student of Yao Qisheng's sect back then, and after Yao Qisheng expelled the minister from the division, Weichen and him have been cut off and have never had contact with him since." Therefore, whether Wu Yingxiong worships Yao Qisheng as his father, his subordinates don't know, and he hopes to live Mingjian. ”
"Shi Aiqing, Wu Yingxiong strongly recognizes Yao Qisheng as his father, I know this very well. Therefore, you don't have to be afraid of being implicated by Yao Qisheng and Wu Yingxiong. Kangxi blinked his shining eyes and said gloomily: "Aiqing, I have one more thing for you to do, tomorrow night, you will invite Yao Qisheng as a student and invite him to your house for a banquet." When the time comes, I will take someone to your house and try to convince that Yao Qi Shengshe Wu should return to me. Kangxi thought about it, and also added like Aobai: "Wu Yingxiong also has an imperial pillar by his side, you can think of a way to invite him to your house for a banquet as much as possible." ”
"Obey." Shi Lang snorted and said, saying that the emperor was going to dig Wu Yingxiong's corner.
…… One of your light clicks warmed my whole codeword life. Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……
At the same time, in the study of Wu Yingxiong's ancestral house in Shihu Hutong, Yao Qisheng, who was being calculated by Kang and Ao, was half-lying on the Taishi chair, knocking on Erlang's legs and shaking, and said to Wu Yuanming who was kneeling in front of him in a big way: "Little traitor, since you sincerely worship the old man and call Huazi his father, and the old Huazi is also suffocated by you, there is no way, I will suffer some losses and be fooled by the old Huazi, so-so recognize your son." ”
"Father-in-law, please accept the child's three bows." Wu Yuanming was overjoyed, and according to the rules, he kowtowed to Yao Qisheng three times respectfully, and made a gift of father and son, but Yao Qisheng did not refuse again this time, calmly accepted Wu Yuanming's salute, and said lightly: "Child, get up." When Wu Yuanming stood up, Yao Qisheng said again: "Little traitor, the old man called Huazi just agreed to accept you as a son, you hope that the old Huazi will come out of the mountain to assist you, but the old Huazi didn't agree." Whether you are worthy of being assisted by the old Hanako, this point is still to be observed and observed. ”
"Of course, the child must live up to the expectations of his father-in-law, so that his father-in-law can rely on and rely on his father." Wu Yuanming said with a smile on his face, and his frivolous and confident appearance made Yao Qisheng shake his head in his heart. At this time, Wu Shou and Wu Xi had already arranged the new clothes and Fujian hometown dishes for Yao Qisheng respectively, Wu Yuanming was busy personally serving Yao Qisheng to change into new clothes, and let Yao Qisheng go to the wine table, personally poured wine for Yao Qisheng, and stood to serve Yao Qisheng for dinner, Yao Qisheng also appreciated it.
After Yao Qisheng was full of wine and food, Wu Yuanming saw that Yao Qisheng was satisfied because he had eaten the long-lost hometown food, and took the opportunity to ask for advice: "Father-in-law, there is something I want to ask my father-in-law for advice right now, can my father-in-law give the child an idea?" Yao Qisheng took the toothpick handed over by Wu Yuanming, picked his teeth and asked: "Between your Wu family and the imperial court, the two things that go back and forth are military salaries and disarmament, which one is it?" ”
"The father-in-law is like a god, and the child admires it." Wu Yuanming first slapped a sycophant, and then told his father Wu Sangui to coerce the court to increase his salary, Kang Ao teamed up to prepare a means to coerce Wu Sangui to disarm, and he ran around between Aobai's cronies and found nothing, and finally Wu Yuanming said with a sad face: "Father-in-law, it's not a child boasting, as long as you can get on the line with the Aobai faction, whether the child is separated, or whether it is bribery, there is always a way to drag them into the water and let them stand on the side of the child." But Ao Bai has already made up his mind not to see me before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and at the same time, Aobai's important cronies are also instructed by Ao Bai, and they are all avoiding me, and the child really can't find an entry point, so I want to ask my father-in-law to get an idea for the child. ”
"You're looking for the wrong person." Yao Qisheng picked his teeth and said lightly: "The old Huazi has been drinking the northwest wind in Mohe all these years, and I don't know anything about the situation in the officialdom in the capital. ”
"The child knows, but the child has some collected information here that can be used as a reference for the stepfather." Wu Yuanming took out the six account books compiled by Wu Sangui's intelligence network, handed them to Yao Qisheng with both hands, Yao Qisheng took it with one hand, waved his hand and said: "You go to dinner, I always ask Huazi to take a closer look, even if I can't give you ideas, I can understand a little bit about the officialdom in Beijing." ”
"Yes, the boy obeys." In order to express his respect for Yao Qisheng, Wu Yuanming was really embarrassed, and he even ate on the leftovers that Yao Qisheng ate, and he didn't even heat it. Yao Qisheng, on the other hand, flipped through the account books under the candles, not closing his eyes and pondering, but occasionally hearing him lightly reciting the records in the account books, "Mulima, the brother of Aobai...... Due to the fact that it has not been long since he was transferred to Beijing...... The two silver receipts were basically deposited into the Jufeng silver number. Nemo, Ao Bai Yizi...... Greedy and stingy...... 150,000 taels were deposited into Jufeng and Baoxiang respectively. Jishi ...... There is a real shortage of Taoist platforms...... He received 15,000 taels of silver and deposited it into the ....... ”
After chattering for a long time, Yao Qisheng suddenly grabbed the account book that was specially recorded in the capital giant businessman Fujia, quickly turned to one of the pages, and only glanced at it a few times, Yao Qisheng's obscene and thin old face showed a vicious smile. Wu Yuanming observed the words and immediately guessed that the famous and vicious godfather Yao Qisheng already had an idea, and rushed forward without even putting down his rice bowl, and asked repeatedly: "Father-in-law, how is it?" What do you think? What do you have for children? ”
Yao Qisheng put down the open account book, glanced at Wu Yuanming, took the rice bowl in Wu Yuanming's hand, and asked lightly, "What is this?" Wu Yuanming was confused and replied, "The bowl for eating." Yao Qisheng smiled fiercely, slowly let go of his hand, and the rice bowl immediately fell to the ground, and the rice grains in the bowl were scattered all over the ground.
"Okay, that's for you." Yao Qisheng stood up with a yawn and said to Wu Lu and Wu Shou, who were also in the study: "The old man is tired, take the old man Hanako to sleep." With that, Yao Qisheng got up and left. And Wu Yuanming stared blankly at the smashed rice bowl**, when Yao Qisheng walked to the door of the study, Wu Yuanming suddenly remembered something, grabbed Yao Qisheng and spread out the account book, just glanced at Wu Yuanming and shouted ecstatically: "Father-in-law, the child understands, understands!" Thank you for your advice! Wahahahaha, knock over the dog food bowl and tell him to eat! Brilliant plan, really good plan! ”
"Grandma's, this little traitor is really perceptive, and he realized it so quickly." The corners of Yao Qisheng's mouth showed an imperceptible smirk, and he scolded secretly in his heart. And Wu Yuanming shouted: "Wu Lu, Wu Shou, after serving my godfather to sleep, immediately invite General Huangfu here, and your brother and father will call together, I have something to order." ”
"It's worthy of Wu Yuanming's godfather, it's really poisonous enough. Aobai, Aobai, you don't need me to look for you this time, you have to come to me obediently. Wu Yuanming waved the account book, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. On the account book, the first four words are impressively - Jufeng Yinhao!
Note 1: Because his father and brother were killed by Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the third year of Kangxi, and was named the Marquis of Jinghai and the Admiral of the Fujian Navy.
