Like other council halls, the direction of the Taihe Hall is also sitting in the south and facing north, and there is a side hall on the east and west sides, which is specially used for the temporary rest, eating and tea of the hundred officials participating in the court meeting. Of course, compared with the main hall where Kangxi is located, the security of the two side halls is much looser, and the personnel in the hall are also much more complicated, not only the civil and military officials who eat tea and rest, but also the eunuchs, palace maids and guards of the marquisal officials.

As Xiao Maozi, the eunuch who brought tea to the officials, entered the east side hall of the Taihe Palace, Wu Yuanming saw Ao Bai and Bambulshan whispering in the corner of the side hall at first sight, Wu Yuanming thought at first that it was Bambulshan who wanted to talk to him secretly, but Xiao Maozi took Wu Yuanming in the opposite direction to Bambulshan and the others, which made Wu Yuanming slightly surprised. However, Wu Yuanming also knew that Xiao Maozi was a more reliable helper, so he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and pretended to be preoccupied, and seemed to tiptoe to the corner where Xiao Maozi was.

"Lord Shizi, let the servants serve you to beat your back and rub your legs." When Wu Yuanming walked to his side, Xiao Maozi said to Wu Yuanming in an inaudible voice. Wu Yuanming quietly found a Taishi chair and sat down, beckoned to Xiao Maozi, who was pouring tea for Wu Zhengzhi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and shouted: "Little monkey cub, the master is tired, come and give the master a beating on the back, and the master will reward you." ”

"Pierce." Xiao Maozi agreed, put down the teapot and walked behind Wu Yuanming, and gently rubbed Wu Yuanming's back and shoulders, but Wu Yuanming and many officials around him, Xiao Maozi didn't dare to speak to Wu Yuanming. Wu Yuanming also felt that the officials around him were in the way, so he pretended to say to Wu Zhengzhi, the servant of the Criminal Department who was closest to him: "Lord Wu, we have the same surname, we were one family five hundred years ago, and when the court meeting starts again, Lord Wu will have to help my brother say a few more words." Don't worry, my brother will never treat Lord Wu badly. ”

"Brother Xue Nian, brother has seen Brother Nian." Wu Zhengzhi acted as if he hadn't heard Wu Yuanming's words, only waved and shouted to an official in the distance, and fled from Wu Yuanming's side like a flyer - are you kidding? With the virtue of Wu Sangui's family and the current situation, with Wu Zhengzhi's hundred courages, he would not dare to have a relationship with Wu Sangui's family at this sensitive moment. Of course, this is exactly what Wu Yuanming wants. And after Wu Zhengzhi slipped away, Wu Yuanming and the other officials around Xiao Maozi were also afraid that Wu Yuanming would talk to them and make friends, and they all rushed to flee the scene, and in the blink of an eye, there were no other idlers within ten zhang of Wu Yuanming and Xiao Maozi. Although there are still Kangxi's people staring at it from afar, it is difficult to hear the answer here.

"Lord Shizi, please let the slave maid beat your legs for you." Wu Yuanming just had no idle people around him, and a petite palace maid trotted to Wu Yuanming's side from the next person's team, half-squatted to Wu Yuanming's side and gently beat Wu Yuanming's legs, Wu Yuanming heard the palace maid's voice was quite familiar, and when he took a closer look, he found that the petite and pretty palace maid was actually the daughter of the university scholar Suo Etu, the future queen of Kangxi, Hesheri Zhaohui! The little girl didn't know where to get a set of palace maid's clothes to wear on her body, and used inferior rouge gouache to cover up the elegant and refined Tianzi national color, if it wasn't for a close and careful inspection, Wu Yuanming would really be difficult to recognize this little girl.

"Hui'er, why did you get into the palace? Why are you still dressed like this? Wu Yuanming pretended to have a worried look on his face, half-lowered his head to cover his lips, and asked Hui'er in a low voice. The little girl gently pounded Wu Yuanming's thigh with her white and tender little hands, and muttered in a low voice with her small mouth: "Stinky big brother with no conscience, I dressed like this to approach you, didn't I come to help you?" Saying that, the little girl said hatefully: "In order to give you the news, I didn't even enjoy the banquet given by the Queen Mother, you have to compensate me!" ”

"Of course, that's of course, Hui'er's kindness to the big brother, the big brother is broken, and it is difficult to repay it." Wu Yuanming replied with a hippie smile. Wu Yuanming knew that Hui'er, a little girl, had a big personality, and knew that she would definitely be very anxious when she ventured to approach her, so Wu Yuanming hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Hui'er, do you have anything to tell your big brother?" This is the Imperial Palace, will it be dangerous for you to disguise yourself like this? Or did someone find out beforehand? ”

"It's okay, it was the head of the imperial guard, Ne Mo, who helped me get here, and this little father-in-law was also introduced to me by Ne Mo." Hui'er replied in a low voice. It turned out that Hui'er was brought into the palace by her mother to ask Xiaozhuang for peace, but Xiaozhuang was busy secretly controlling the court today, and had no time for Hui'er's mother and others to be false and wronged, but she just gave the greedy Hui'er a meal of imperial eel and went to do her own business, and Hui'er's mother went to see her cousin, who was already the widow of Shunzhi, and Hui'er's little girl was no one to restrain her in the palace. And Hui'er's little girl once overheard her father's secret conversation with Kangxi's henchmen, and knew that Ne Mo, the chief of the inner guard, had a close relationship with Wu Yuanming, so she quietly found Ne Mo, who was on duty in the palace, and bought Ne Mo's help at the cost of three South China Sea pearls that Wu Yuanming gave her to play with. In addition, Hu Gongshan's sudden death caused chaos in the intelligence systems of Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, and there was a deviation in the supervision and monitoring of the palace.

"Big brother, I don't have much time, I have to rush back before Eniang returns to Cining Palace, you can hear the following words clearly." Hui'er whispered quickly: "After the end of last night, Wu Ciyou's hypocrite suddenly came to my house and entered my Amma's study. Although I, Amma, do not allow me to approach his study now, the maid of the waiter's study has taken advantage of me, and she told me that Wu Ciyou wants my Ama to ask the court to use force against the three feudatories at today's court meeting, and to intimidate the three feudatories with force. At first, I Ama was reluctant, worried about giving Ao Xiangye the opportunity to control the military power, but Wu Ciyou, the hypocrite, told me Ama that the use of force by the imperial court against the three feudatories is just a threat, although it may not be able to intimidate you, but the people of the king of Pingnan and the king of Jingnan have always been weak, and they will definitely take the initiative to give in, as long as they retreat, you will be isolated in the court. ”

"I know that." Wu Yuanming had already guessed the true purpose of Kangxi's move, but the only regret was that Hui'er's little girl was a little late in delivering the letter, which caught Kangxi off guard just now. Wu Yuanming asked in a low voice, "Hui'er, then what did you Ama say later?" Is he the dominant leader in this plan? Or is it just a fueling effect? ”

"Is my Amma that bad?" Hui'er was very angry with the force on her hand, slapped Wu Yuanming's thigh hard, and muttered: "What my Ama wants is to be promoted and make a fortune, and I have no grievances with your Wu family, why would I take the lead in embarrassing your Wu family?" If you talk nonsense about my Amma, I'll ignore you. ”

"Yes, yes, it's Big Brother's fault. Pretty and cute Hui'er, tell the big brother the rest of the words. Wu Yuanming hurriedly apologized and promised to invite Hui'er to eat something delicious. Hui'er reluctantly turned her anger into joy, and said with a small mouth: "Hmph, let me tell you, I've always refused to agree to Wu Ciyou's hypocrite at first, but that hypocrite later came up with an ugly secret decree, and my Ama reluctantly agreed." However, I, Amma, still don't want to take the lead in attacking your Wu family, and Wu Ciyou didn't force it, but just told me Ama that this matter will be led by the auxiliary minister Kupilon, and I, Amma, just need to talk to the other ministers along with Kupilon, so you have to solve this matter today first, otherwise you will wait to eat turtles today. ”

"There is one more thing, Wu Ciyou said that if Geng Shang and the two feudal clans compromise, you will still resolutely not give in." Hui'er little girl added: "Then I, Ama and other ministers, will recommend Kubilong as the commander, and use the garrison in Sichuan to crusade against the rebel army that invaded Sichuan, there are more than 90,000 people in the Eight Banners Green Battalion Army in Sichuan, and the rebel army that invaded Sichuan is only more than 1,000 people, outnumbered, and the imperial court is using the reputation of exterminating the Sichuan rebel army to send troops, and it does not enter the territory of Yunnan and Guizhou, so your family is waiting to suffer a dumb loss." ”

"What a vicious strategy!" Wu Yuanming gritted his teeth and activated the Sichuan garrison led by Kubilon to exterminate the fake rebel army under his father, so that he could not hand over the world's military power to Aobai; And as long as the Qing army does not enter Yungui, there is no reason for his family to interfere, at most he can only take those fake rebel troops back at the border of Yunnan and Guizhou, and at that time, his family's plan to take advantage of the fire and rob the imperial court will be dissolved. At this time, the people in the side hall saw that Hui'er, Xiao Maozi and Wu Yuanming had been together for a long time, and one or two little eunuchs approached Wu Yuanming sneakily intentionally or unintentionally to observe if there was anything unusual.

"Big brother, someone noticed us, I have to go, remember what you promised me." Hui'er muttered in a low voice, stood up, and blessed Wu Yuanming with a blessing and prepared to retreat. Wu Yuanming smiled with a smile, took out two small ingots of silver from his sleeve and threw them to Hui'er's little girl and Xiaomaozi respectively, and said with a smile: "Good beating, I will reward you for buying candy to eat." ”

"Thank you, Shizi." Hui'er is a blessing again, but her big eyes glared at Wu Yuanming viciously, as if she was complaining about Wu Yuanming's stinginess - she is a dignified future queen, she beat Wu Yuanming's thigh for a long time, and she only got a small ingot of silver in return. And Xiao Maozi muttered to Wu Yuanming in a low voice: "Lord Shizi, just after noon yesterday, the Emperor was sent to Qingning Palace by the Emperor, and he didn't leave until Youshi, during which the Empress Dowager once entered Qingning Palace, this is the only thing that the slave knows, I hope it will be useful to you." ”

"It seems that Kangxi made a plan with Ji Bilong yesterday afternoon, and the old lady of Xiaozhuang also intervened in the middle." Wu Yuanming muttered in his heart. Qingning Palace is one of the sleeping palaces where Kangxi lives, and the security work is controlled by Kangxi's absolute henchmen, who summoned Kupilon there to avoid the eyes and ears of Aobai. And when Wu Yuanming was pondering, Hui'er and Xiao Maozi had already left the side hall separately, Xiao Maozi was a little eunuch who specialized in serving tea, and it was his duty to serve Wu Yuanming, so not many people paid attention to him. But Hui'er's little girl was a little dazzling, and as soon as she left the side hall, two imperial guards followed.

"It's not good, those two guards must be Kang Xiaomazi's people." Wu Yuanming's eyes were sharp, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Hui'er's little girl was being followed. If you want to change the usual, Wu Yuanming is too lazy to care about the little girl's affairs, but today is different, the little girl was targeted in order to report to Wu Yuanming, if Wu Yuanming ignores it again, then Wu Yuanming's little conscience will be difficult for him. So Wu Yuanming didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately stood up and followed, but what Wu Yuanming didn't notice was that the old army sent by Liu Xuanchu to go to the court with him also quietly followed......

Chased all the way out of the side hall, Hui'er's little girl had been stopped by the two imperial guards on the way to the middle right door, the two imperial guards yelled at Hui'er menacingly, and at the same time pulled and pulled the little girl, as if they wanted to drag the little girl to the secret room for torture, and the little girl struggled and refused to give in, saying that she would not go with the two imperial guards. Although Wu Yuanming didn't have any special interest in the little girl, he also liked to love this beautiful, cute and smart girl, and refused to let her be bullied by the two imperial guards, so he rushed over and shouted: "Stop!" In broad daylight, you two big men bully a little girl, is there still a royal law? ”

The two imperial guards were prepared to turn their backs to Wu Yuanming, and one of the imperial guards shouted without looking back: "Get out!" This is a matter of the Great Interior, and foreign officials are not qualified to interfere! And Hui'er's little girl faced Wu Yuanming, and immediately shouted with tears, "Big brother save me, they want to drag me to the guard room." ”

"Hui'er, don't be afraid, big brother is here to save you." As early as the 21st century, Wu Yuanming was used to being arrogant and domineering, and now with the support of Wu Sangui, a good father who has the power of the world, Wu Yuanming is even more arrogant, rushing up to slap the two imperial guards a few times, and scolded: "Get out of your grandma." Even Lao Tzu's good sister dares to move, do you want to find death? Saying that, Wu Yuanming took Hui'er into his arms and protected her, and the little girl had to get out of trouble, so she naturally immediately threw herself into Wu Yuanming's arms and sobbed.

"Shizi, it's your ......." It wasn't until this moment that the two beaten imperial guards saw Wu Yuanming's appearance clearly. It is also time to come to the ground to cause a turmoil, to change to other imperial guards, and after being beaten by the prince of Pingxi, he naturally has to swallow his anger, but among the two imperial guards who were beaten by Wu Yuanming just now, there happened to be a powerful son - Wolf Tan, this Wolf Qin is the grandson of Mang Gurtai, the fifth son of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, Kangxi's cousin, and now he is still in charge of the guard foreman of the Taihe Palace. And although Wolf Tan is not as fond of bullying as Wu Yuanming on weekdays, he is not an incompetent person. So after being caught off guard by Wu Yuanming, Wolf Tan did not knock out his teeth and swallow blood like other guards, but punched Wu Yuanming in the face.

"Ouch!" Wu Yuanming didn't know martial arts, he could dodge Wolf Tan's fist there, and he was beaten by Wolf Tan's punch all over his face, his nose bleeds splashed, and Wu Yuanming screamed in pain. But Wolf Tan's punch also brought out the rogue nature in Wu Yuanming's bones, Wu Yuanming rushed up with only a scream, and faced Wolf Tan's fist, but it was a pity that Wu Yuanming's weakness of not knowing martial arts was exposed at this moment, and the weak fist not only did not hit Wolf Tan, but was kicked by Wolf Tan in the lower abdomen, kicking Wu Yuanming to his knees with his abdomen, and the pain was so painful that his internal organs almost flipped over. Frightened, Hui'er's little girl screamed, "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine!" Wu Yuanming spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, struggled to stand up and punched Wolf Tan in the face, Wolf Tan flashed easily, and hit Wu Yuanming in the face with another punch, knocking Wu Yuanming in a circle and falling to the ground. Wolf Tan jumped up and stepped on Wu Yuanming's chest, and sneered: "The surname is Wu, others are afraid of you, but I, Wolf Tan, am not afraid of you, if you want to fight, I will accompany you at any time." And Wu Yuanming's injury was indeed not light, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Let go of Brother Wu!" Hui'er's little girl cried and rushed up, holding Wolf Tan's arm with both hands, trying to pull Wolf Tan away from Wu Yuanming's body, but she was small and weak, and she was thrown two or three feet away by Wolf Tan. At this time, the fight between Wolf Tan and Wu Yuanming had already attracted the attention of the guards on duty outside the Taihe Palace, and I don't know how many guards rushed over, but most of the imperial guards outside the Taihe Hall were Kangxi's direct cronies.

"Uh——! Someone! Come on, save Brother Wu! Hui'er's little girl fell not lightly, lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, she could only cry and shout to rescue Wu Yuanming, but none of the imperial guards present refused to come forward, and there were even people with gloating sneers on their faces, let alone come to save Wu Yuanming - this shows the importance of character. Instead, Wolf Tan instructed: "Go to someone to report to the emperor, and the brothers will give a witness to Wolf Tan in a while, it was Wu Yingxiong who made the first move to the brothers...... Yes! ”

"Ahh The screams of wolf Qin killing pigs spread all over the inside and outside of the Taihe Palace, and Wu Yuanming, who was lying on the ground on his chest by wolf Qin, seized the opportunity, and when wolf Qin was distracted to speak, he suddenly grabbed the testicles under the wolf Qin's crotch and pinched it with all his strength. The testicles are the most vulnerable part of a man's body, even if the Huangfu Baozhu, who is invulnerable all over the body, is caught and it is difficult to resist there, not to mention the wolf Qin, whose martial arts are far inferior to the Huangfu Baozhu, only the pain makes the wolf Qin scream loudly, and he can't wait to die immediately. The imperial guard next to him was also anxious at this time, and rushed to pull Wu Yuanming, but Wu Yuanming, who was born a hooligan, had a rogue temper, gritted his teeth and grabbed the wolf Tan's testicles, pinched and dragged with all his strength, and let the imperial guards drag and even beat him, Wu Yuanming just said that he would not let go!

"Chop off his hands, I'll be responsible for what happened!" As the severe pain in the lower half of his body became more and more intense, Wolf Qin couldn't care about the consequences, and frantically ordered the guards. But the guards did not have the backstage and courage of Wolf Tan, and after a little hesitation, Wu Yuanming had already bit his lip and roared angrily, and with a fierce squeeze of his hand, he actually pinched Wolf Tan's testicles alive......

"Ah——!h Wolf Tan let out a heart-rending scream, tilted his head and fainted in pain. The imperial guards next to him were all frightened, and they all pulled out their waist knives, wanting to cut off Wu Yuanming's arm. But Wu Yuanming's hoarse roar made them tremble, "What are you?" A woman who dares to touch Lao Tzu? Forgot what Lao Tzu's last name is? Lao Tzu, the Wu family, for the sake of women, even dares to give away people! ”
