It was a good hunt, but it broke up unhappily. Kangxi walked back to Yanbo Zhishuangzhai with heavy steps, and retreated from everyone, he wanted to have a good idea of what happened during the day. Not wanting to miss the sleepiness, he couldn't sleep anymore. When the watch was up, the northwest wind blew outside, and the iron horse under the eaves clanged, and there was no sleepiness, so he got up in his clothes and asked for a cup of warm tea to sit and be distracted. Xing Nian came in and said: "The prince came in to ask for peace, and the slave thought that the master was asleep, so he took it upon himself to ask the master to go back." I knew that the master was awake, and he should have come to make a sound. Kangxi nodded and sighed: "You are acting according to the order, there is nothing wrong." I don't care if I don't ask for this or not, if he can handle the mission I handed over, I will naturally feel at ease. If a person cannot stand on his own feet, how long can he rely on the elderly? ”

Xing Nian didn't say a word, and hurriedly brought the signing plates of the palace concubines in each room. smiled: "The emperor is too boring alone, do you want a noble lord to come and talk?" After turning over the brand, the slave can go and pass the word. Kangxi flipped over the green head card, and Zheng Guiren's name was written on it. Said to himself: "If you simply go to Leng Xiangting and play a game against Zheng Chunhua, maybe you can diverge your thoughts and sleep peacefully." ”

"Wow!" Xing Nian hurriedly agreed, "The slave will prepare a sedan chair!" ”

"No need." Kangxi waved his hand, put on a Xuanhu cloak and came out, and saw Liu Tiecheng, Delentai and Zhang Wuge standing majestically beside the pillar, so he asked, "Where is Orodai?" ”

Delentai hurriedly called Qian'er and replied: "Lord Zhang and Master Ma called him over today, saying that they would transfer him to Guangxi as a deputy general. Therefore, the night shift is not worth it. Eat and drink at the Tenth Master's place! Kangxi glanced at the fifth brother warmly, and said: "Delentai and the fifth brother will go to Lengxiang Pavilion with me, Liu Tiecheng will stay here, you don't want to learn the habits of Oro Dai, you have to learn from Wei Dongting!" Oro Dai is wild like this, how can he get it without frustration? "Let's go. Delentai and the fifth brother hurriedly followed.

"Fifth Brother Zhang," Kangxi asked, as he walked, "I didn't ask how long you lived in the yamen of the Criminal Department when you were beheaded?" ”

"Eight months."

Kangxi said "um", and asked in a calm voice: "Why did someone impeach you yesterday, saying that you were in prison and bought a girl?" - Don't be afraid, it's common for officials to be impeached - tell me, is there such a thing? ”

"There's this." It has only been a few days since Fifth Brother Zhang joined the guards that someone made his article, "But that girl didn't buy it." The slave father and son lived in Texas, and there was a local Zhang Congli, who wanted to escape a donation because he transferred the land deed account to the name of a tribute student of his family. Who would think that this Zhang Gongsheng is not a person, and he swallowed the thirty Ishida who supported his family. Di Bao urged Ding Yin, but Zhang Congli naturally couldn't take it out, so he committed suicide by taking poison in a fit of anger. There was no silver to bury, so his daughter Zhang Xiaoying had to sell herself by inserting a mark. My father looked at her and was pitiful, and took pity on her for being a filial daughter, so he took out a few taels of silver and buried her father. Later, when we arrived in Miyun, who thought that this little warbler would also follow, and insisted on recognizing my father as his father-in-law. When the incident of the Qiu family happened, I was put on death row on behalf of others. Xiaoying brought the Qiu family's money to Beijing, and when she visited the prison, she bought it up and down, and when she saw me, she cried and said: People like you should not be left behind. I don't have the ability to save you, I gave you this clean body, if God has eyes and gives us a boy, it can be regarded as taking your cigarettes and repaying your family's kindness......" At this point, Fifth Brother Zhang burst into tears, blew his nose, and didn't say anything more.

Kangxi couldn't help but get angry when he heard it, why did Wang Hongxu make a big deal about it? Crush this little guard! couldn't help but sigh: "Your life experience is sad. People say that kindness is rewarded, but you can't imagine that all the wrongs in the world will fall on your head! Fifth Brother Zhang burst into tears and said with a smile: "The emperor is in the Forbidden City, how can he know that there is no sun in these dark days outside?" Next door to my cell, there are two 'white ducks'! If you really only wronged me, the emperor still needs to call a few Chitose masters to go to the criminal department? Kangxi couldn't help but be taken aback, and stopped suddenly.

Seeing that Kangxi was looking at himself intently, Fifth Brother Zhang thought that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Master, I haven't read a book, I'm very rough, and I don't know the rules." If you say something wrong, please punish the master for a lesson! ”

"Nothing, you're right. If you are a king, you have to be honest and undeceived. Kangxi suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm his voice as much as possible. After walking forward for a while, I saw the lights of the Leng Xiang Pavilion flickering in the distance. Kangxi stood up and said with a smile: "The former palace concubine's residence, it is inconvenient for you to go in the past, so just guard here." ”

Delentai suddenly grabbed Kangxi's arm, looked at the window paper of Leng Xiangting in a daze, and was so nervous that he even trembled when he spoke: "Your Majesty...... You...... Look! Kangxi was stunned by his sudden move, and when he looked at his gaze, there was nothing unusual, and he couldn't help laughing: "Are you the hell?" I'm so scared that my hair stands on end! You-"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped, and the surprise in his heart was even more powerful than that of Delentai and Fifth Brother Zhang! - Under the shadow of the lamp, there is a man and a woman leaning together! …… I don't know how long it took, Kangxi Fang calmed down and asked gloomily, "Who is that man?" ”

"Slave...... The minions are clumsy...... I can't see it...... "Fifth Brother Zhang and Delentai already knew who it was, and cold sweat immediately poured out.

"Okay!" Kangxi burst out two words from between his teeth, "The palace ban is so strict, there is such an ugly thing!" —turned around and slapped Delentai, and shouted in a low voice, "You are good guards! Go and arrest the eunuchs who look out for the wind. When they do this kind of thing, they won't be left untouched. Delentai slapped Kangxi for no reason, sobered up a lot, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have "seen it first". But the matter has come to this point, so I have to take one step at a time, make a gesture with Fifth Brother Zhang, and touch it silently.

Sure enough, as Kangxi expected, there was a eunuch in his forties guarding the gate of the Leng Xiangting compound. It didn't take any trouble at all, but he was strangled by Delentai from behind and on his neck, and the fifth brother raised his foot and dragged him to Kangxi. When I put it down, it was so soft that it was like mud and didn't move. Delentai touched his snort, frowned and said: "Long live, the slave is afraid that he will shout, so he will be a little bigger, and he will die!" "It's better to die!" Kangxi laughed evilly, entered the garden without saying a word, stood under the corridor and listened to the sound inside, the fifth brother and Delentai guarded the door of the east corridor to prevent anyone from coming.

It soon became clear that one in the room was Zheng Chunhua and the other was Yinren, hugging each other and talking affectionately.

"It's almost over," this was Zheng Guiren's voice, "Stop, you should go back." You have a large group of Fujin, nurses, and girls there, so how good is it for them to see it? "You say I'm the Shi clan? It's not uncommon for her to see it! Yinren said with a smile, "She doesn't care about anything except the affairs in the palace, this is very light-" Zheng Chunhua laughed and said: "Wrongdoer! It's so dirty, what are you trying to touch? Don't you have your family's fortune? The emperor is going to turn over my brand this time, where do I see you drilling? ”

Kangxi's face swelled like pig's liver, and his hands trembled with anger. was about to have a seizure, but he heard Yinren laugh and say, "Where is the drill?" Where do you say? Just drill here, although women have it, in the end the house flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers - you tell her to take it off, let her stretch it, what's the fun? Don't worry, the old man won't come. I just went to ask for peace and visited Xin'er, and I came to you, and he was already asleep. People are always afraid of death, and wealth fans don't sleep, I'm on guard! ”

"That being said, you should go back sooner and be safe." Zheng Chunhua smiled and pushed Yinren and said, "It's not fun to go!" Yinren stroked Zheng Chunhua's smooth and soft body and said, "You are so ruthless! Just drove me away? Alas...... I'm almost at the end of the day, so it's rare to get together and sing me a song......"

Kangxi was already so angry at the moment that he was cold, and he was thinking about how to deal with it, when he heard the words "the prince is coming to an end", he couldn't help but be stunned again. Zheng Chunhua asked repeatedly: "What do you mean by this?" How do you call it almost the end? The emperor wants to abdicate the throne to you, is it too emperor? ”

…………

Yinren sighed silently and let go of Zheng Guiren: "How can there be such a good thing!" Isn't your cousin in the Eighth Mansion? Just ask her and you'll understand. Before I came to Rehe, my guards were all changed, and the emperor also told me that I would make the boss, the third, the fourth, and the eighth all princes. There are so many articles here! In addition to the fourth and thirteenth, you look at the boss, the third, the eighth, and the ninth, their energy, yesterday's hunt, how much thought everyone put into it, and I don't know how many dramas there will be later! To tell you the truth, I know in my own heart that the emperor will not treat me as a prince for a long time......"

There was no sound in the room. After a period of silence, Fang heard Zheng Chunhua smile and said, "What's the matter!" I can't see that you are still so suspicious - how unlucky it is to say that these things are gone! If you want to listen to the song, I'll sing you a song "Nanlu Yizhihua", okay? Then he sang in a low voice:

You are an enemy, why do you know that you are afraid? I don't remember the day I came to the palace for tea. It's hard to describe the scene of two people! I want to turn my face and ignore him, I can't help but forget the worries, and it's a very good interpretation flower, so it's easy for a pretty brother to come to find a girl! - Who called me to complain about the girl's spring love lock in the deep palace, and also called you a boy in the emperor's house?

"The song is quite emotional!" Kangxi said through the window, "I will give you a continuation sentence - 'It's just a good dream that can't end, and the chicken and dog thief are talented!'" After saying that, he laughed wildly, turned around and shouted: "Delentai, Fifth Brother Zhang, go back with me!" As soon as I stepped through the east corridor, a palace lady walked over with a tea tray and two bowls of ginseng soup on it, and was colliding with Kangxi. Kangxi made a heart-warming fist, and the palace maid rolled all over the ground, and shouted: "What is Fifth Brother Zhang stunned? Kill this ** thing! ”

"Chirp......" Fifth Brother Zhang hesitated slightly, stepped forward and kicked the woman's waist. The palace maid snorted, and suddenly stretched out her legs in despair, and a wisp of incense soul returned to the underworld.

Kangxi's face was pale, he held the shoulders of the two guards, and returned to Yanbo Zhishuangzhai like a cloud. Liu Tiecheng and the others saw him go out with great interest, and when they came back with this look, they were all surprised, but they didn't dare to ask, so they only arranged for Kangxi to rest. Xing Nian thought that Kangxi had fallen into evil and bumped into something in the garden, while asking someone to go out to burn paper to send evil spirits, and took the Tranquility Pill and cinnabar, Kangxi had gradually sobered up, and only ordered Li Dequan to make a cup of tea before the rain and eat it, and Fang Jue was dizzy better.

"Scare the minions to death!" Xing Nian wiped his sweat and said, "Before coming to Chengde, the slave had been to Baiyun Temple. Zhang Tianshi said that this year, Tai Sui lived in the land of the green dragon, and Sirius invaded the emperor's throne, and it may be unfavorable to travel eastward - the minion still thought that he really said it! It's okay, it's irrelevant, long live the Lord has come back! Kangxi was silent for a long time, and sneered: "The villain has knowledge!" My fate is tied to the sky, how can the good fortune and evil be predicted by Zhang Deming and his ilk? Who told you to ask for divination? If you have these words, why don't you know them sooner? Xing Nian saw that Kangxi was angry, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave went to Baiyunguan to ask for a talisman because his mother was sick, and he didn't dare to talk about national affairs, it was Zhang who said it when he was gossiping." Because the master has always been tired of listening to Buddhism, the slave didn't dare to play when he came back. Fang Cai was frightened because he saw that his master was not good-looking, and he farted if he didn't catch it, and the slave didn't dare anymore! "Let's just bump into each other.

Kangxi gasped heavily, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes for a long time. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a commotion in front of the West Side Palace, and then he heard Liu Tiecheng shouting loudly: "Oro Dai! You're going to die! Didn't look at what this place is! Kangxi ordered Delentai, "Go and see, what's wrong, Liu Tiecheng is screaming, can't you call me Ansheng for a moment?" ”

Before Delentai could move, Oro Dai smiled outside: "Liu Tiecheng, the master...... If the master is not there, it will be ...... It's your turn to teach...... Teach me ...... Me? Don't say it...... Here, it's in Qianqing...... Qing Palace, Grandpa has a urine photo...... Sprinkle it like! You bite...... Bite my chicken ......**! "Oro Dai is drunk and full of nonsense. Kangxi paced out of the house, Oro Dai shook his body in shock, grinned for a long time, Fang fell to his knees, and said, "Slave...... Wow...... Drunk - uh, yellow soup ......"

"Drunk?" Kangxi sneered, "Tie Cheng, tie him up!" ”

"Emperor, Emperor!" Oro Dai salivated and smiled, "He ...... Why be serious? Even if he really wants to tie up, it won't be his turn Liu Tiecheng! That year, he patrolled Luoma Lake in the south, Liu Tiecheng was the master of killing, and the slave was the guard who escorted him...... If not—"

"Fart!" Kangxi stomped his foot angrily and shouted, "The bundle is stronger!" Pull him to the back stable, and whip him forty lashes! Liu Tiecheng, don't be soft-hearted, this kind of person doesn't know how to lift! Liu Tiecheng and Fifth Brother Zhang saw Oro Dai staring at Kangxi with red eyes, for fear that he would say something even more ugly, so they pounced on him, cut his arm, and dragged him down. Before Kangxi could say anything, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, cold sweat soaked out, his face turned pale, he stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, so frightened that Delentai, Li Dequan, Xing Nian and others hugged Kangxi and hugged him and put him into the fast. Li Dequan ordered someone to call the imperial doctor with the lamp in turn.

"No, don't toss it all in." Kangxi's mind was very sober, he was half-lying on the pillow of the big kang, and said, "You don't have to panic, I just have palpitations for a while, and I still have to go to see the fourth wolf hunting tomorrow!" Pour a glass of Suhexiang wine made by me...... "In recent years, Kangxi has occasionally had dizziness and palpitations, and every time he eats a glass of Suhexiang wine." Xing Nian hurriedly agreed to get it, tasted it, poured it for Kangxi, and ate it slowly, and sure enough, it came back to color for a while. Kangxi lay down for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Fifth Brother Zhang and Liu Tiecheng coming in one after the other, so he said: "Tiecheng, you go to pass on the two elder brothers Yinhe and Yinzhi, huh...... Tell Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu to come in too, don't alarm others, call one by one, understand? When Liu Tiecheng went out, Kangxi Ping retreated from everyone, leaving Delentai and Fifth Brother Zhang to wait by his side, just closing his eyes and recuperating.

After a long time, Kangxi opened his eyes and said, "You two kneel in front of the couch and listen to me......"

"Wow!" The two guards bowed, untied their waist knives, and knelt in front of Kangxi. Kangxi looked at the Yunlong caisson on the top of the hall for a while, and said with emotion: "Fifth brother doesn't need to say it. Delentai, remember that you were selected by Kangxi in the 35th year? Delentai hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes! ”

Kangxi nodded and sighed, "It's been thirteen years...... There are so many Mongolians! That year, the alliance of the Mongol kings and warriors competed, remember that you were still a slave, and you lost thirteen warriors in a row...... won the title of the first hero of Mongolia - I am afraid that you will come from a humble background and offend many people, so I will be poisoned when I go back, and I will reward you with twelve Dongzhu to your prince, and choose you to come to me as a guard...... Do you know all this? Delentai listened in a daze, his eyes were full of tears, and he choked his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the slave knows...... Your Majesty, what do you say about these past events? You have to rest......" Kangxi snorted, turned his face to look at the two people, and said, "Don't say it." Only the two of you know what happened tonight, what do you think? ”

Delentai was stunned for a moment and said: "This is the prince's fault, he should ask the emperor for guilt!" Fifth Brother Zhang said: "Your Majesty, the prince is not doing this authentically, and I can't think of a good word for him." According to the minions' small knowledge, everyone has this kind of thing, and the emperor, you are so angry that you are sick, and the gold is expensive. The ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and the emperor can only deal with it, and he can only find another topic to protect the dignity of the heavenly family. The prince is a minister in front of the master, and he is still a king in the eyes of others, if he is off-topic, he will kill me, and he can't say it in front of outsiders, even Brother De, I can be a guarantee! ”

"Therefore, I have decided to use Delentai as the foreman's guard." Kangxi smiled bitterly, "I see that Fifth Brother Zhang is very benevolent and reasonable. You help Delentai a little more. Although Xiao Dezi is good, he is a straight person, and he is not as familiar with the affairs of the Central Plains as you are. After saying that, he stepped down from the kang, paced two steps, and said: "You can't sleep tonight, Delentai held my sword, rushed to Karaqin Zuo Town in the starry night, and ordered the wolf to take 30,000 cavalry to Chengde to garrison. Fifth Brother Zhang, you took the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office and quietly went to seal the Leng Xiang Pavilion. I estimate that Zheng Chunhua, this little slut, has already cut himself off at this moment, if she doesn't die, even she and all the palace people will be sent back to Beijing, and they will all be strictly guarded by the Xinxin library - if the matter is not secret, I will deal with you two according to military law, understand? ”

"Wow!" Both of them couldn't help but shudder when they heard this.

Delentai and the fifth brother had just left, and the eunuch in the patio outside reported loudly: "The prince Yinzhi, Yinzhi, the ministers of the upper study, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu, are ordered to knock long live!" Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Come in!" ”

At this time, it was already ugly, and the four people saw that the smoke and waves caused Shuangzhai to be full of lights, and the eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly came and went, and they didn't know what was going on. Ma Qi asked: "Summoning the ministers and others in the middle of the night, what is the big deal with the master?" ”

"There are no big things, but they are not small." Kangxi sat on the kang, held the teacup and said, "The guards should do the adjustment immediately." Oro Dai was sent to Beijing, and the rank of general was awarded in Zhao Fengchun's camp, which was under the command of Zhao Fengchun. ”

The third watch called people in the middle of the night, just for this? All four of them were stunned. Kangxi looked at Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, and said, "The Minister of the Guard, in addition to the two of you, plus Yinhe and Yinzhi, Yinhe is the main minister." Seeing that the four people looked at each other and were stunned, Kangxi slowed down and smiled: "Don't be suspicious." And nothing. Oro Dai, the minion, got drunk and contradicted me, causing him to lose sleep tonight, unable to sleep, and thinking of simply doing something. It's just a good chat! Ma Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's best if it's okay!" The slave should still be plotted to assassinate the rebels. Zhang Tingyu rolled his eyes and muttered silently-he knew Kangxi too well.

Yinhe has a completely different mind, the minister of the guard has always been just a false title, the black more summoned in the middle of the night, and Baba appointed himself to bring the guards, which in itself shows that there is a big change ahead! Before the big change, my father actually thought of himself first, and put aside the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, the strangeness here is too intriguing! He wanted to laugh but didn't dare, suppressed his excitement, bowed his head and promised: "Obey!" Yinzhi smiled and said: "My father is restless, please just crooked, and his son and Zhang Zhongtang read Tang poems to my father." It's still early, so maybe you can sleep for a few hours! ”
