The abnormal movement and the disappearance of Maozi caused Kangxi to be greatly shocked. In his opinion, these two things are related to the situation on the Western Front and the security of the palace, and the noise inside and outside is so large that it cannot be ignored. So on the night of returning to Beijing, he summoned Xiong Cixu, Suo Etu and Mingzhu.

I wanted to listen to their countermeasures again, but the three of them turned out to be like cannons in the nest, and they fell out first.

"Long live," Suo Etu said, "I remember that in the ninth year of Kangxi, Mingzhu was ordered to go to Shaanxi, and when he came back, he boasted about how ****** was loyal, and now ****** actually killed the ministers of the court without authorization and raised troops to move, this matter should be explained by Mingzhu!" ”

When Kangxi looked at Mingzhu, he saw that beads of sweat had appeared on his head. But Mingzhu has never been surprised by changes, and quickly calmed down, and said with a faint smile: "The emperor has known about this matter from beginning to end." ”

Xiong Cixu said coldly: "Long live there are also people who don't know." ”

"Dongyuan Gong," Mingzhu sneered, "You are a famous minister of science, do you look like a righteous gentleman in this way?" ”

Xiong Cixu blushed when asked.

Mingzhu laughed and said: "Since I was guilty in the ninth year of Kangxi, why did I participate in the impeachment in front of Banzai today, you should have understood it a long time ago, why did you hide your head and show your tail like this?" I don't know how you have agreed in private—are you here to deceive me, or are you here to deceive the king? If you deceive me and come to my private residence, Mingzhu is willing to be deceived; If you deceive the king, then what crime should you be guilty of? ”

"Shut up!" Kangxi digressed from the beginning when he saw it, and his heart was angry. glared at the three of them angrily and said, "It's not like words! I summoned you here to discuss the matter of ****** and Wu Sangui, and I don't want to hear you attack each other! With a "bang" of the paperweight on the case, even Wei Dongting, who was guarding the door, was startled. After a long time, Kangxi instructed again: "Chuan Wang Jizhen come in!" ”

Suo Etu was not afraid, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave's is exactly the matter of ******, Mingzhu accepted bribes from ****** in Shaanxi, and came back to deceive the holy lord, resulting in the tragic death of the country's feudal officials. ”

"Is there such a thing - have you taken a bribe?"

"Nope!" Mingzhu knelt down with a plop and replied in a voice, "Suo Etu wants to borrow a knife to kill people today, but he disagrees with the minions for the removal of the domain, and asks for long live to be the master of the minions!" ”

There is no way to verify the bribery at the moment. Kangxi pondered for a long time, sat back, and suddenly smiled: "It's really unexpected, the three of you made a fuss by killing your heads and cutting off your heads first!" How can we work together? It was my idea to withdraw the feudal domain, what does it have to do with Mingzhu? Even if Mingzhu doesn't agree with the removal of the feudal domain, I still have to do it! Are you going to be the culprit? The weight of these words was too heavy, and Xiong Cilu and Suo Etu were busy kowtowing and apologizing. But I heard Kangxi say again: "Why don't I know the difficulty of withdrawing the domain? I'm ready to kill myself, you know? ”

The three ministers trembled in horror and looked at each other.

"You're surprised, aren't you?" Kangxi smiled indifferently, "The common sense of life and death, I will not hide it, but the power cannot be left behind, and it should be unified in one!" Zhenning died for the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was born without the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty! ”

"Yes! Minion...... Got it! Xiong Cixu hurriedly kowtowed, "The minions don't know the general situation, don't know the overall situation, ask the Lord to punish the crime!" "Suo Etu and Mingzhu are also the first to pause." That's right. At present, the great enemy is in front, and the monarchs and ministers of the court should all share the same hatred and go to the front together. The husband is moral, speechless, and meritorious, at this moment! I have reconciled you to you! From now on, no one is allowed to use any more will. What about you, Xiong Dongyuan, Suo Laosan? ”

"Wow!"

"What about you?" Kangxi asked Mingzhu again.

"Minions are nothing." Mingzhu kowtowed and replied, then grinned again, "Thinking about the original intention of the two, it is also for the country's social welfare, and the head of the slave is really exchanged for the next peace, is it not appropriate to cut it?" ——The two adults rest assured, Mingzhu doesn't know how to hold grudges! ”

"This is the demeanor of a minister!" The anger in Kangxi's heart subsided, and then he asked again, "What should Wang Jizhen do?" Is it to kill, to release, or to detain? ”

"Kill!" Mingzhu replied without hesitation. Fang asked for a bribe himself, and in order to confess himself, he had to be ruthless. "****** so disappointing. The courtiers outside have been talking about it for a long time, and since it is the opposite, the court cannot show weakness. Suo Etu also said: "The great crime of rebellion is a heinous crime!" The law has long stipulated: if there is no subordinate, Ling Chi will be executed! ”

Kangxi nodded, and looked at Xiong Cixu again. Xiong Ci said: "Now that the government and the opposition are shaken, they all say that Wang Jizhen should be beheaded, and the slave has a foolish opinion, it is better to detain it, so that the ****** can't concentrate on using soldiers......" Kangxi stood up and circled back and forth a few times after hearing this, and said, "I asked Mr. Wu yesterday, and he thought it would be better to let it go!" ”

Xiong Cilu raised his head in surprise and asked Kangxi with his eyes: This Wu Ciyou has always paid attention to the art of Shen Han, why did he have a kind heart? Kangxi smiled, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he decided to meet Wang Jizhen first, and then decide according to the situation. So he asked Wei Dongting outside the hall, "Is Wang Jizhen here?" ”

Wang Jizhen had already come, because there was a discussion inside, and the donkey stopped him in front of the hanging flower door outside the Heart Cultivation Hall to wait for the order. Hearing the pager inside, Wang Jizhen hurriedly agreed: "The minister is here!" Heartily put down the horse's hoof sleeves, hunched his waist and hurriedly walked inside, prostrating himself in the tunnel, "The slave king Jizhen respectfully invites Saint Ann! ”

There was no answer. When Wang Jizhen peeked, only Kangxi was pacing back and forth, and there seemed to be a few people next to him, but he didn't dare to look up. It was extremely quiet in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and only the sound of Kangxi's boots and the clattering of the self-striking bell could be heard.

"Your father is reversed!" Kangxi suddenly asked, "Do you know?" ”

Wang Jizhen exclaimed, looked at Kangxi with frightened eyes, his teeth were fighting, and he replied in a trembling voice: "Slave...... Minion...... The minions don't know about it, but there are some rumors recently...... Seeking ......"

There was another silence, a few pieces of paper fell in front of Wang Jizhen, he held it with both hands, only read a few sentences, cold sweat broke out on his face, and he held the fold to the pearl next to him in a distracted manner, trembling like a pendulum, eating and eating in his mouth, but not a word came out.

"What do you think?" Kangxi's gaze suddenly became aggressive.

"Listen...... Long live the ...... Ye Fa ...... "Wang Jizhen is paralyzed like a pile ......of mud."

At this time, Kangxi was also thinking nervously, it was easier to kill this person than to twist an ant to death. But Wu Ciyou thinks that ****** is not strong, and killing his son can only provoke him to be determined to be the enemy of the court to the end, which cannot be unreasonable. He wanted to see Wang Jizhen because he wanted to see this piece of material, and if he was a talented and knowledgeable person, of course he would kill him. Now seeing him like this, he is relieved, but if he just lets it go, it will inevitably be cheaper ******.

"You, the eldest young master of the horse harrier, are you so daring?" Kangxi thought about it, and said a little ridiculously, "Raise your head and listen to me!" I don't believe that your father will really rebel, if it is really reversed, I will kill him if I don't kill him! Mo Luo is a person who is known for his frivolity, and many of your father's subordinates are thieves and thieves, and it is difficult to control it, which provoked this mutiny, and he can't be suppressed by coercive bullets! ”

"This is the forgiveness of the imperial court, long live the wisdom of the lord!" Wang Jizhen never dreamed that Kangxi would say this, and kowtowed again and again to reply.

"What do I mean by summoning you—" Kangxi said while pondering, "You go back in the starry night, and announce my order: your father's sin is negligent, and the killing of Mo Luo was done behind his back, and I know very well." Let him make up his mind, restrain everyone so that he can keep the peace for me, and don't listen to the instigation of others. As long as there is merit, I will not even investigate the killing of Mo Luo in the future! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"You must think to yourself, I have to listen to it at this time, and I will miss the appointment when the time comes, right?"

"Yes—I don't dare!" Wang Jizhen didn't know how to answer.

"Isn't it, dare to think about it, it's up to you!" Kangxi said, "If your father is really reversed, how can I not kill you?" When your father came to Beijing to see me, he gave him a dragon leopard tail gun, you told him to take it out and take a good look, think about it, and save the matter, it is a great credit, I can't reward him, how can I kill him? ”

"Wow!"

"There you go!" Kangxi waved his hand and instructed the wolf standing at the entrance of the hall, "The military department will give him a pass survey!" Wang Jizhen then fell to the ground to thank him, sweating and going to the ground.

"Hooray," Suo Etu asked in surprise, "just let him go?" Xiong Cixu also said: "Long live, if he goes, ****** will have no worries." Hooray, it's time to think about it! Mingzhu smiled and said: "The slave thinks that the master is very good, if ****** really rebels, what son does not care about the son?" Wang Jizhen was able to move back, which was a great luck; If you don't listen, it's not a big deal. What can such a thin mud soft egg come in? ”

Mingzhu, the minion, saw his mind so thoroughly, Kangxi couldn't help frowning, but said, "You should still go and see Mr. Wu." He was upset and didn't want everyone to go in a swarm. Alas, this teacher of mine is not good at creation! ”

Wu Ciyou has gradually recovered, but his expression is indifferent and dull, and he sits for half a day. Kangxi listened to the words of the imperial doctor, and still placed him in He Guizhu's mansion - the Yuepeng shop of the year, which has been changed to He Guizhu's private residence - the old scene is shocking, the past is piercing, and it is easiest to recover his senses, and it is really like one. During this period, Xiong Cilu, Mingzhu, Suo Etu, Wei Dongting and several of Wei Dongting's brothers came to visit him several times. Everyone was relieved when they saw that he was getting better and was worried about going to visit Zhou Peigong. Unexpectedly, on the day of Yun Niang's seventh break, Wu Ciyou stopped eating, lit incense and sat quietly, and any Guizhu tried to comfort him, but he just smiled and said nothing. It wasn't until the second bite that He Guizhu saw that he was determined to kill himself! couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly entered the palace to see Kangxi.

Kangxi was holding a hand stove and was distracted. Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong stood on both sides with their hands down, and there was a map of the Gyeonggi Flag Battalion garrison on the desk. Seeing He Guizhu coming in in a hurry, thinking that Mao Zi's letter was there, Kangxi put the hand stove on the big kang, and when he finished the salute, Fang slowly asked, "Have you seen Wang Zhenbang?" ”
