Chapter 117: Clues

(Cat flutter Chinese) "Hmm. ()" took two steps back, squatted down, and silently turned around and left.

"Ah!" Zhou Peigong suddenly shouted.

Ah Zuo stopped abruptly and looked at Zhou Peigong suspiciously. Zhou Peigong took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Does your brother's family know about it?" ”

"No one knew that it was braided in the field."

"That's going to do it." Zhou Peigong said with a smile, "You asked him to take a pair of scissors at night, go to the theater to cut more than ten of his braids, and then shout that his braids were also cut, won't this matter be written off?" ”

A pair of big eyes rolled, and it took a long time to wake up, covering his mouth and sneering, he pointed at Zhou Peigong with his finger, and only said "You-" and walked away briskly with a red face.

Kangxi returned to Ouchi from the Niujie Mosque, and it was already midnight. This night was a war of words, and it was to command the fight in person, and it was handled very properly, although it was exhausted, but it was extremely excited, and there was no sleepiness, just to find someone to talk to, so he instructed Zhang Wanqiang: "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to be lucky in the Chu Xiu Palace tonight, and the concubine Niu Hulu will also go." Zhang Wanqiang hurriedly agreed, and went out to Zhang Luo.

The queen Heschelis had not yet slept, she sat under the lamp and played cards, asked her son, listened to the emperor arrive in the middle of the night, and was busy with makeup to greet her.

Kangxi smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "I won the lottery tonight, and I am in a hurry if I don't look for someone to say!" Then he took the queen's hand and stepped up into the hall. The concubine Niu Hulu also came after a while, and when she saw the emperor and the empress talking, she knelt to the side. Kangxi saw her kowtow, only nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Come in." ”

"Hurray," Hesheri hurriedly ordered the ginseng soup he had boiled for himself to be fed to Kangxi, "What benefits did you get tonight?" Listen to the concubines, and rejoice with it. ”

"Hmm!" Kangxi rolled up his sleeves, took a sip of ginseng soup, and then painted the farce of Fangcai Niujie Temple vividly, and listened to Niu Hulu's face for a while, and then covered his mouth and smiled.

The queen listened to it but didn't speak for a while, listened to Kangxi quietly, and muttered for a while before laughing: "Long live the lord, Mr. Wu gave you a lecture back then, and the concubines also quietly heard it a few times, what 'those who know their fate love their bodies and don't stand under the rock wall'." Everyone pays attention to this, not to mention that the emperor is the king of ten thousand times? In the future, it is better to take less risk, and it will be necessary to send a general for this kind of thing. This is one of them. ”

"Oh? And a second? ”

The queen looked left and right, and several palace maids and eunuchs were still serving at the entrance of the palace, so she waved her sleeves and said, "You all retreat, leaving only Mo Ju to wait." ”

Mo Ju is the queen from her mother's house to bring a child slave, the most reliable, listened to the queen's instructions, squatted down and said "yes", then went out to supervise everyone to swallow avoid, standing outside the hall by himself to wait.

"You're scared too." Kangxi saw people retreat and said with a smile, "Will you have outsiders here?" ”

"That's the second thing." The queen got up and personally brewed a cup of Pu'er tea, presented it to Kangxi with both hands, sat down and said, "Long live the talent is very fine, and the concubines have listened to every word." It's just that since the thief of Longyang later knew that the emperor came to Niujie Temple in person, he should have left as usual, why did he still blindly set fire? That's bold! Niu Hulu was also stunned, she didn't think about it at all.

"Raise the fire as a trumpet!" Kangxi stood up in shock. On the way back, he also felt that this matter was a little strange, and at this time, after the queen mentioned it, he immediately hit his heart with a "boom": "Raise the fire as a number", this was agreed in the Qianqing Palace, why did the thieves know so quickly! Kangxi thought about it, put the teacup on the table, stared at the outside of the hall with blazing eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "You are very right-there are indeed spies in the palace-original-come-like-this!" ”

Seeing that Kangxi was shocked and angry, Hesheri's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Long live, why do you have to make such a big fire?" Fortunately, the thief's trick did not succeed, but it made us conscious. This matter was slowly investigated by the concubines and concubines. ”

"Come!" Kangxi suddenly shouted, "Spread the decree, call Zhang Wanqiang and Mao Zi of the Heart Cultivation Palace!" ”

Mo Ju said yes outside the door and sent someone. The queen smiled and said, "Long live and not tired today?" It's past midnight, and you're still here to ask about the case? The palace doors have been locked, and this alarm is about to be recorded again. ”

"Record the file, keep the file." Kangxi calmed down a little, exhaled, and handed the teacup to Niu Hulu, "Change the cup of hot - the sooner this kind of thing is handled, the better." The palace gate is locked, and there are few people everywhere who know it, but it is better - spread the word, whoever dares to mess up, will be sent to the Internal Affairs Office to be locked up and starved to death! ”

The queen nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty, it's just late at night, don't be tired!" ”

Kangxi sighed: "I am not good as an emperor, according to the Han law, you and I are both Yi people." There are many people who are not convinced, and they can't help but be extra careful. You must know that what the former Ming Emperor could do, I had to spend five and ten points of my strength to do it! ”

"Long live is the truth." Niu Hulu also nodded and sighed.

"Now is the right time for the country to be troubled, and I can't rule it with a vertical arch - if I am told to do it, it will be easy to cause trouble." Kangxi, he couldn't help but sigh, "You can't calm the people, you can't talk about the Jing Domain; You can't gather wealth, you can't talk about military affairsβ€”these are the words of Mr. Wu in his letter to me, and they are very right! My treasury is so useless, and I have to take 20 million silver every year to support those three living treasures, how can there be such an unlucky emperor in ancient and modern times? Settle the people, gather wealth, and war, all have to start from being close to the people, I am not close to the people, I stay in the Qianqing Palace every day, don't beat Tang Zong, I'm afraid that even Song Zhengzong and Song Qin Zong are not as good! Think about it, is it better to be the eldest grandson queen, or 'the king erects the flag at the head of the city, and the concubine knows it in the deep palace'? ”

Kangxi was expressing his feelings at length, Zhang Wanqiang and Mao Zi came in panting, kowtowed to the emperor and queen one after another, and asked the concubine for peace, and then asked: "Long live the slaves, I don't know what the will is?" Kangxi's anger had calmed down, blowing the tea foam in the cup, and turned his face to the queen and said: "You are the master of the six palaces, you tell them, I want to rest." ”

"Yes!" The queen agreed, sat diagonally opposite Kangxi and asked, "Today, the emperor is discussing matters in the Qianqing Palace, which of the two of you is on duty?" ”

Zhang Wanqiang hurriedly knelt down and replied: "If you go back to the master's mother, you are a slave on duty." ”

"Besides those ministers summoned by Wan Luo, who else are there in the palace?"

"I'm one," Zhang Wanqiang raised his face and recalled with his fingers, "Liu Wei, Huang Sicun, Chang Baozhu, Chen Ziying...... There are twenty-four in total, and by the way, Wang Zhenbang of Wenhua Hall has also heard of the mission. ”

Kangxi didn't know the essentials when he heard it, and interjected from the side and asked: "I raised the fire as a signal, and the twelve mosques started together, did you hear this?" ”

"The slave hears it." Hearing this, Zhang Wanqiang had already figured out the emperor's intentions, and hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "The people next to him, the minions didn't dare to hear it, but they must have heard a lot, and this matter was discussed for a while before it was sent to Lord Tuhai - Long Live Lord did not tell the minions to avoid it." ”

"If the emperor says this way, the wind will go there, is this a word?" The queen suddenly said angrily, "Zhang Wanqiang, how did you do this?" ”

Although his voice was not high, he was full of voice. Maozi next to him was also frightened, and he knelt down and lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out. When Zhang Wanqiang heard the reproach, he only kowtowed again and again and said "yes", but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that he was panicked, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Zhang Wanqiang, I also know that you have always been hearted, and this leak is very big today, do you know?" ”

"Damn it!" Zhang Wanqiang replied with a crying voice, "Please punish the master!" ”

"It's not a matter of punishmentβ€”" asked the queen again, "who do you think sent it out?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Wanqiang sweat beads rolled down his forehead, thought for a while, shook his head and replied, "The slave is really incomprehensible for a while, and he doesn't dare to bully the master." ”

Mao Zi suddenly said on the side: "I know all these people, Wang Zhenbang, Huangsi Village, there is no one else except them!" Ah San, who was burning the fire in the imperial tea room, couldn't ...... it" Zhang Wanqiang listened, turned around and said: "Maozi, this is not a joke, it is to make people's heads fall to the ground!" Maozi was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"You're stupid!" The queen "snapped" on the table, and even Kangxi in the next seat was startled, but she heard the queen say sharply, "He pays attention to the master, and you stop him - how do you know that the master is about to wronged someone?" ”

"Chirp-" Zhang Wanqiang trembled in shock, and said in a trembling voice, "The slave is stupid, I'm afraid that the master has wronged people!" ”

"Humph!" The queen sneered and said, "Don't wait in the Heart Cultivation Palace, go back to Cining Palace!" ”

Returning to Cining Palace to wait for the Empress Dowager is not a punishment. But he was driven back, not only himself, but even the Queen Mother's face was not good-looking. Kangxi weighed in his heart and ordered: "You two go out!" Zhang Wanqiang and Mao Zi got up, stepped out of the hall with trembling legs, and knelt uneasily in the shadow of the courtyard lamp.

Kangxi turned his face around, and when he saw Hesheri's complacent and angry face, he couldn't help laughing: "Can't you see that you're a mother-in-law, you're quite powerful!" Niu Hulu only breathed a sigh of relief at this point, and his face turned colored.

"This can't be let go easily." The queen came back to her senses and said solemnly, "If you can't join the family, you can't make peace in the country." ”

"Of course this is a good word," Kangxi muttered, "but Zhang Wanqiang can't be punished right now." I have thought about it, this leak of the news, it was not the eunuchs who turned their wives' tongues, but deliberately spread it out to plot big things, how could Zhang Wanqiang prevent it? There are only these two people around me who can still do some things, Mao Zizhen has to make other arrangements, the enemy country is not broken, and he cannot harm himself, and the queen will spare Zhang Wanqiang. ”

"Very well," the queen instructed Mo Ju with a raised face, "call them in!" ”
