The wooden machine waited for Kangxi to ask. Kangxi heard the sound of the curtain, and when he turned his face and saw that it was Suo Etu and Gao Shiqi coming in, he smiled and said: "Suo Etu came just in time, Yan Shenwu's volume was stored by you, is it lost a page?" ”

"Long live the words," Suo Etu replied hurriedly: "Yan only wrote one poem, and "Xuanji Yu Hengfu" was not written, so there is one less article - how important is this matter, how dare a slave be hasty?" ”

Kangxi looked at Xiong Cixu and said with a smile: "No wonder you don't have strict rope martial arts in the first, second, and third grades on this list." ”

Mingzhu said: "Yan Shenwu is a great Confucian, and it is disrespectful to deliberately omit the test questions and not do it." The slave thought that Xiong Cixu would take him out of waiting, and he was really allowed. ”

Kangxi took a sip of tea, sat on the edge of the kang on stilts, and said with a smile: "Among these papers, there are those who miss the test questions, those who rhyme with the wrong rhyme, those who are ambiguous, and those who contain sand shè shadows. Hmph, they didn't want to take the test in the first place, so they used typos and rhymes on the exam papers. If I send it according to the volume, Ke Keer will drop the most famous people on the list, who in the world will believe that he has a bad volume? I just say that I can't know people! If I am confused, the Confucians will secretly laugh at me for not having real learning, and they can't see the problem with the roll-in terms of their intentions, they treat me very harshly...... It seems that they can't just take an exam to make them obey! ”

When Mingzhu heard this, he couldn't help but say indignantly: "This is called not knowing how to lift!" Long live the papers of these people and print them in the newspapers of the provinces, so that the whole world can see their mistakes, and all those who are wrong, who violate the law, who are guilty of mistakes, and who are wrong in rhyme, will not be taken! Suo Etu also said: "What Mingzhu said is reasonable! Xiong Cixu sighed secretly, if this is the case, almost all of the people who have won this erudite Confucian science are second-rate people. Kangxi saw that Gao Shiqi didn't squeak, so he asked: "Gao Shiqi, what do you think?" ”

"The minions thought they should all be selected, but this was agreed upon before the test. The emperor knew that they refused to take the exam, so he pulled it hard, so what kind of mood did he have to write poems and articles? But there are occasional clerical errors. In this way, all the famous people are named in Sun Mountain, what is the difference between not doing erudite and Confucian science? Isn't it in vain how many years of hard work have been put in the foreground? Of course, they didn't dare to scold the street when they went back, but the emperor fell into the name of not knowing talents, and he really ruined talents...... Therefore, it is categorical that the usual imperial examination pattern cannot be used to seek complete blame, but all the places are fully filled, and even those who are not equal will also be awarded. If you don't want to be an official, you will also be given a name, which can be regarded as a retirement......"

"That's it! Gao Shiqi, you read it carefully, all the perverse points are drawn with fingernails, and the well-written pen is double-circled! ——Passing the decree, Gao Shiqi is making up for the erudition and the first class of Confucianism! ”

Chapter 15 He Shengshou congratulates ten thousand cars and Qingzhi Dahe, and is determined to never wave

Emperor Kangxi summoned the ministers in the Yangxin Hall to discuss the matter of reading Fu Xuehong's Confucianism test papers, he pointed to the papers stacked on the desk and said: "You see, they are all famous Confucians, but there are so many problems in the papers, writing mistakes, rhyming wrong, using the wrong format, forgetting taboos, it seems that forcing them into the capital and forcing the exam will not be able to collect their hearts!" ”

Then he talked about the military situation in Yunnan, Kangxi was full of interest, talked for half an hour, and said: "Yesterday, I received a twist from Yunnan, and Wu Shipan has committed suicide. I have ordered someone to send his head to Beijing, I am afraid that the weather is too hot, and the road will rot, which is a pity! Everyone laughed. Xiong Cixu frowned and said: "The lost territory that has been recovered, you have to quickly send capable people to appease it, this is not a game - after the soldiers cross the border, they often grab not an inch of grass, and the people are hungry and afraid of accidents." If there is no magistrate, let the army loot, it is absolutely impossible! ”

"That's it-" Kangxi turned his face to Mingzhu and said: "Ask the Ministry to quickly select a group of state and county officials, and if you want to be more cautious, you don't need to see your majesty, and send them directly to Yungui as the prefect; The county magistrate was selected from this time. Now it is planned to send an observer envoy to bring the two documents of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Military Affairs to inspect the situation of the military and civilian officials in Yunnan and Guizhou. If there are arsonists who are bandits, deal with them on the spot! ”

Mingzhu couldn't help but be stunned: "Will you do it now?" ”

"Well, right away! This kind of thing has to be done immediately. Jieshu used troops in Fujian, and the civil affairs left behind were a headache, so Yao Qisheng personally took Goshha to the countryside to suppress bandits and protect the people. With the lessons of the past, Yungui's affairs should be handled safely - this is your ministry's business! ”

Mingzhu frowned and groaned, he was really a little troubled. If he doesn't have the right person in his pocket, that's not true. When selecting idle officials above the third rank in Beijing, he was able to immediately propose more than a dozen. At this time, I had no choice but to choose an observer to go to a remote area, and I was a fourth-grade official, so of course I had to choose from the fifth and sixth grades. These days are so busy that I haven't even gone to the ministry, where can I find it for a while? Suddenly, he remembered that Gao Shiqi had recommended him a person named "Xu Qiuren", but he couldn't think of anyone else, so he simply recommended him. When Kangxi's gaze swept to Mingzhu again, Mingzhu swallowed helplessly, nodded and sighed: "If you talk about the five-grade officials waiting to be elected in Beijing, there are more than 30 of them, but they are either old and weak, or weak, or unfamiliar with the officials. The slave thought for a long time, and felt that Xu Qiuren was more suitable...... and then said Xu Qiuren's resume and job name, but at the end he said: "This person is not familiar with the slave, it was recommended by Gao Shiqi, and it must be good to think about it." ”

Gao Shiqi's heart brightened, and he took his words and said: "I and this surnamed Xu still met in the Ming Prime Minister's Mansion, who knew that after talking, I knew that we were still relatives." ”

Kangxi was in a very happy mood at the moment, he originally appreciated Gao Shiqi's suave and suave nature, and chose to come to his side to make the wind and the moon adjust the atmosphere. After listening to Gao Shiqi's words just now, I realized that his talent is not limited by words. Compared with the enlightenment teacher Wu Ciyou, there is its chic but not its straightness; Compared with the pearl, it has its wisdom but not its vulgarity; Compared with Xiong Ci's shoes, there is its straightforwardness but not its rigidity - I have always heard that Gao Shiqi is a scholar of Luotuo, why do you still have a relative who is an official in Beijing? Then he asked: "You are from Qiantang, he is from Acheng, how can you be a relative?" ”

"Back to the saint, it's a relative, but it's a little farther away. It's my cousin and nephew of my cousin who hasn't passed through the door. ”

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Gao Shiqi and said: "You slave is becoming more and more bold and presumptuous, and you dare to play poor in this pivotal place - which lady is your 'cheap'?" Speak up, I'll marry you! ”

Gao Shiqi is eager for this sentence! Because Fanglan had already promised the Hu family, Gao Shiqi wanted to take away this marriage, but the Hu family was not satisfied and sued Shuntianfu. Gao Shiqi was afraid that the imperial historians would know about it and would not let it go. At this moment, seeing that Kangxi was going to come forward to marry, he hurriedly said: "Long live the lord is willing to marry the slave, which is really a blessing from the slave ancestors to accumulate virtue and cultivate from generation to generation." However, this woman is not a famous lady, but the daughter of a florist in Fengtai. Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, the slaves have to be close to the sky, their whole family is happy to accept the grace, and because Lafayette has a long life, so she personally chose a gift to offer......"

Everyone present, except for Mingzhu, no one expected that Gao Shiqi would choose a florist's daughter to be the main wife's room, and they were a little surprised when something happened. Kangxi couldn't help but nod his head in admiration: "Well, okay, I read the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and every time I see the Biography of Song Hong, I often sigh that the world is declining." 'Rich and easy wife, expensive and easy friend' has become commonplace! You 'don't forget the poor and lowly jiāo, and the wife of the dregs doesn't go to the church', I am very commended! ”

The page of Mingzhu boots originally contained the excerpt of Yu Guozhu's impeachment of Gao Shiqi for extorting the price of the shopkeeper and forcibly marrying the husband of Fù Fanglan, and he wanted to see the opportunity to hand it to Kangxi when there was no one, and when he heard Kangxi say this, he knew that there was no hope, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, this person is talented and well-behaved, which makes people disrespectful...... He was thinking about it here, but he heard Kangxi laugh and say, "What gift?" Come in and let me see. ”

Gao Shiqi kowtowed, went out of the study, came in with the pot of flowers, and carefully uncovered the silk silk. When everyone looked at it, it was a small wooden barrel with three fine iron hoops, and the tung oil varnish on the outside had been coated several times, and it was as transparent and bright as amber. The barrel was lush and green, with its thick and delicate leaves, so green that it seemed to be rolling out of the barrel. Gao Shiqi put the bucket away and said to Kangxi: "The birthday of the Empress Dowager is coming, and with the joy of long live, the wife of the minister will offer this grass to add longevity to Lafayette!" ”

Several people were stunned for a moment. Xiong Ci dedicated several calligraphy and paintings of Dong Xiangguang, books, fans, longevity noodles, and longevity peaches, which cost a total of about 200 taels of silver. He has always been like this, and everyone does not feel stingy; The pearl is ingenious, it is carved with a thousand-year-old boxwood in Huashan to carve a Yingzhou nine old pair of Yi map, a hundred golden peaches, and a new mountain jade carving Magu to offer his birthday; Needless to say, the cost of Suo Etu is also more than 10,000 taels of silver. Gao Shiqi is not a poor egg now, why did he get a bucket of grass as a birthday gift?

Kangxi ignored everyone's thoughts, looked at the bucket of grass and asked with a smile: "What is this?" ”

"Lord! The name of this grass is Wan Nianqing, there is no gold and jade jewelry, dedicate this Ruicao, I wish me ten thousand years in the Qing Dynasty! ”

Kangxi Teng jumped off the kang, walked in front of him, and took a closer look. Wannianqing is the "green" of grass, but it is homophonic with the Qing Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and Wannianqing has become a symbol of the Qing Dynasty's eternal years. Kangxi said overjoyed: "Ah, Wan Nian Qing! It's up to you Gao Shiqi to think of it! Xiong Cixu was so happy that he also came over to appreciate it, and sighed: "It's really cute!" I have to mention a good name - since it is a gift to the heavenly family, why not call it 'Tianguang Evergreen'? ”

Suo Etu felt calm in his heart, he was really convinced of Gao Shiqi, and such a small gift was so innovative and overwhelming. Although he felt a little regretful, he was not angry-Mingzhu didn't get the color anyway-when he heard Xiong Ci's name for him, he also said with great interest: "Dongyuan Gong, only the word Tianguang is still flawed!" I thought it should be called 'Qiankun Evergreen'! ”

Mingzhu hollowed out his mind, patted his head and smiled: "You haven't said it all, the people of heaven and earth are called 'three talents', and I think it's good to call it 'three talents and evergreen'." ”

Kangxi listened to a few courtiers talking about it, and he also wanted to come up with a name, but when he was thinking about it, he heard Gao Shiqi laugh and said: "Don't bother everyone." Although the name of it is vulgar, I think it is the best, and I respectfully ask the emperor to comment. She said - this is called 'iron hoop and a bucket of evergreen'! ”

Xiong Cixu praised loudly: "Wonderful! Really big, 'iron hoop a bucket of 10,000 years clear' - well, good! ”

Kangxi didn't smile, he picked up the bucket with both hands in front of him, lowered his head and sniffed, and a faint fragrance came to his nose. The green and blue leaves trembled and brightened, as if they were talking to him. After a long while, Kangxi Fang put Wan Nianqing on the desk, looked at the hall expectantly, and saw that there was nothing to reward, so he took the paperweight on the table and a jade Ruyi and handed it to Gao Shiqi: "This paperweight will reward you, and Ruyi will reward your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door." Decree to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 'a bucket of evergreen' every year as an example to pay tribute to the Ouchi! After speaking, he sat back on the kang and said to several ministers with emotion: "It's okay to be young for ten thousand years, the word 'unification' is used wonderfully!" Qin Shi Huang swept the six countries, the car is on the same track, the book is the same text, only Hanxing, the country is unified and the people are happy, and all kinds of waste are prosperous, with Zhang Hengyi, Cai lún paper, and similar endowment. To the rebellion of the eight kings of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the world was out of control. Tang dominated the world and was even more vigorous. Five generations of chaos, the people have been displaced again, all industries have been adjusted, and the people have been devastated...... Throughout history, if you want the country to be strong and the people to be rich, you must be unified! I ascended to the pole at the age of eight, worshiped at the age of fifteen, decided to withdraw from the feudal domain at the age of nineteen, took risks and made difficulties, tried my best to overcome public opinion, and there was no day of happiness inside and outside, for what? - Don't I want to be at ease? It's not like you're bent on building a great cause of unification! You are all my ministers, and you want to be with me in your heart, so as to create the rule of Kangxi like the rule of Zhenguan. The people of the world, the history of future generations, will not forget you! Do what you want! ”

Kangxi's face was a little pale, he was not pretentious at all, he spoke eloquently and emotionally. Several ministers listened in a daze, and then involuntarily knelt down together, and kowtowed: "The holy lesson is extremely good, and the ministers will obey the holy decree and never forget it until death." ”

Let's say that in Mrs. Han's house in Congzuka Town, since Chen Huang and Gao Shiqi left, the family has lived peacefully, but Ah Xiu misses Chen Huang and thinks about revenge, so she is depressed all day long. Mrs. Han is a delicate person, how can she not see through the girl's thoughts, chat with the girl in a different way to relieve her boredom, and use words to trick her. After a long time, I realized that on the Mongolian steppe, marriage and love between men and women are all free, and there is no such thing as the old rules of the Central Plains that are constantly torn apart. When Mrs. Han heard this, she couldn't help but sigh to herself: "God, my wife has lived for such a long time, only to know that you are interested in the girl looking for her in-law's family by herself, and she doesn't need any three media and six certificates, the order of her parents." This thing is going to be out of us, isn't it the other way around! What you said to Mr. Chen that day frightened me, and I thought you were crazy! Haha-"

The two were gossiping, and the housekeeper hurriedly ran in, saying that the new governor of the river, Lord Jin Fujin, and Mr. Chen were here. Panicked, Mrs. Han hurriedly got up and went out to greet her, and ordered her family to tidy up the banquet and prepare for hospitality. In the midst of the chaos, Jin Fu took Chen Huang and Feng Zhiren in civilian clothes and walked in. Han Liu had seen the world and knew that the governor of the river was the identity of the feudal official, so he dared to be lazy, so he asked Jin Fu to take a seat and pay homage. But Jin Fu refused to accept the courtesy. He knew that Gao Shiqi came out of the Han family and now had entered the study, and Chen Huang had also received help from Han Liu's family, and was now his main assistant, so he would have to meet Mrs. Han with the gift of a junior. Chen Zai was grateful to Han Liu for taking in Ah Xiu, and insisted on paying a big bow to the old lady, and that's it. Pulling, pulling, pushing, pushing, and arguing for a long time, before they greeted each other, sat down with the guests, and exchanged pleasantries, and the banquet had been arranged.

Seeing that Chen Huang had entered the shogunate of the Governor, and that he had returned to Yijin, he wanted to mention his marriage to Ah Xiu again, and took advantage of the toast to come to Chen Huang and whispered: "Mr. Chen, the old woman wants to ask you a word." ”

Chen Huang put down the chopsticks, "Oh, I don't dare to be." Shiqi and I are old friends, and Ah Xiu lives in your house again, and I see that you are like an aunt, why do you call me 'Mr. Chen'? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

"That's good. Ah Xiu and you, what is your idea? After you left, this child lost his soul, and my wife was really sad. Are you really married? ”

Hearing this, Chen Huang's heart fluttered. He never expected Ah Xiu to be so infatuated with him. After being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "To tell you the truth, there is no such thing as marrying a wife. You always know Ah Xiu's identity, I intermarried with her, and I first violated the law of the country, and what kind of husband's career is to repair the river? Since you keep asking about this, I bother you to tell you that Chen only wants to be a forgetful friend with her in this life, and he doesn't dare to think about it. As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Jin Fu and Feng Zhiren were particularly happy today, because this time they entered Beijing, everything was unexpectedly smooth. Not only did the Suo and Ming families not find any trouble, but they all rushed to set up jiāo love like hot charcoal, and added a wise person like Chen Huang to enter the shogunate Sasuke to control the water, and their hearts were relaxed, and even Feng Zhiren's thin face was shiny. At this moment, both of them were drunk and their faces were flushed, and when they saw Han Liu and Chen Huang talking, Jin Fu turned his face and smiled: "What are the whispers, it is obvious that they are more intimate than us!" Mother Han, Tianyi has been praising you on the road for being a husband who doesn't wear a headscarf, is there anything you can't do to ask Tianyi to help? ”

Han Liu said: "Oh, Lord Jin's words have killed my wife!" One
