Chapter 60: The Earth Dragon Turns Over
Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace and walked to the imperial study, and was about to go in when he suddenly saw an acquaintance guarding the door, so he said, "Qiwei, come in." ”
The guards next to him looked enviously at Qi Wei being remembered by the saint, and specially summoned Qi Wei. When Qi Wei heard it, he hurriedly followed.
"Slaves see the emperor, please the emperor Sheng'an."
"Get up!" Kangxi still has a good impression of Qi Wei, the person who took the lead in surrendering to him, even if Qi Wei has withdrawn from the secret guard, Kangxi is still deeply impressed by him. And because of the relationship between Qi Wei and Tu Hai, Qi Wei is also extremely close.
"How have you been at the guards lately? Is it adaptable? Kangxi asked softly.
"The minions have received the emperor's favor and are also taken care of in the guards, but the minions are now just idle every day except for duty." Qi Wei was obviously a little complaining.
"What, I wronged you? Is it uncomfortable to be around me? Kangxi narrowed his eyes and asked as if he was a little angry.
However, Qi Wei has been serving in the secret guard all these years, and on the surface, he is a gentleman who messes with trouble all day long, and he has no other skills, so it is true that he is thick-skinned. Qi Wei couldn't even restrain his habits in front of Kangxi, so he said with a smile: "The slave is used to staying in the secret guard, and there are a lot of things to do every day, where is it like now that you can only be idle except for duty!" ”
"Haha, you're not afraid of me, but you were still busy with palace affairs before? Am I mistaken? I remember that Tu Aiqing seemed to have said that someone often spends all night drinking and never going home, "Kangxi has no disgust with Qi Wei's cheekiness at that time, and he thinks it's quite interesting." At this time, Kangxi's mood gradually improved because of the things in the harem just now.
"The minion is not spending a lot of time, it's gathering intelligence. Master Tu slandered the minions. Qi Wei refuted Kangxi's words, and said with some strong words.
Kangxi looked at Qi Wei's strong expression and laughed. Qi Wei laughed when he saw that Kangxi was amused.
Kangxi saw that Qiwei also started laughing and asked, "I laughed, what is funny about you?" ”
"The slave can make the master laugh, and it is also the blessing of the slave. The master is happy, and the slave is happy. Qi Wei patted his ass.
Qi Wei's expression that was still smiling before suddenly changed, Qi Wei quickly lay on the ground and put his ears close to the ground, listened for a moment and quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, get out quickly!" ”
Kangxi saw Qi Wei lying on the ground and thought that Qi Wei was going to continue to play something to make him happy, although he felt that he regarded a flatterer as a pillar of talent, but for the sake of Qi Wei to make him happy, he didn't care, but he didn't care about it, but he wouldn't reuse it in the future.
Qi Wei didn't know that the emperor had regarded him as a sycophant, and he planned not to reuse him in the future. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Kangxi and was about to run out.
Kangxi saw Qi Wei's offensive actions and reprimanded: "Qi Wei, you ······"
Kangxi was carried by Qi Wei before he finished speaking, and Liang Jiugong also saw that Qi Wei offended Kangxi and hurriedly shouted: "Qi Wei, what are you doing, quickly put down the master." Then he shouted, "Someone, there are assassins." ”
In an instant, the guards outside the door came in, but they were a little stunned when they looked at the scene inside, and they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that their colleague Chamuda who was on duty before wanted to go out behind the emperor's back.
Qi Wei hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the earth dragon has turned over!" "Dragon, as we all know, the dragon is a very powerful beast in ancient Chinese legends, according to the records of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are many kinds of dragons, one of which is the earth dragon, as the so-called "heavenly dragon spits fog, and the earth dragon turns over." Jiaolong frolicking, yellow dragon molting. And "earth dragon turnover" is the ancient name of earthquake in modern society.
Everyone was a little skeptical when they heard this, and Kangxi immediately ordered: "Everyone go to the open space outside the door." Kangxi is gambling on Qi Wei's character, Kangxi doesn't believe that Qi Wei went to great lengths just to assassinate him, and he trusts Tu Hai more than Qi Wei, the secret guard Kangxi who has only known him for a few days, Kangxi believes that Tu Hai will never harm him. Therefore, everyone was ordered to go out of the Qing Palace and stand by.
Everyone hurriedly escorted Qi Wei and Kangxi out of the Qianqing Gate and walked to the large open space in front of the door, but after everyone left the palace gate, they didn't see any movement.
Kangxi was just about to question Qi Wei, when suddenly the ground shook, and Kangxi was almost thrown to the ground, but fortunately, Qi Wei, who was closest to him, supported Kangxi to avoid Kangxi from making a fool of himself.
Kangxi and the guards watched the Qianqing Palace in front of them shake a few times, and the top of the palace was also bumped into bricks and tiles. Now everyone understands that the earth dragon has really turned over.
Kangxi looked at the tragic image of the earthquake, and was glad that he came out early, and finally the shaking stopped, and Kangxi was in the mood to ask Qiwei.
However, Qi Wei preemptively apologized: "The slave offended the Holy Dragon Body, please forgive the Holy Lord." ”
"Qiwei, you are in a hurry, I forgive you for your innocence." Kangxi asked Qi Wei not to apologize, and then asked, "Qi Wei, how did you know in advance that the earth dragon had turned over?" "To be honest, Kangxi never thought that someone would be able to accurately predict an earthquake in advance, even if it was a short time in advance.
"The minion didn't know in advance that the earth dragon had turned over, but the minion just heard a rumbling sound from underground. Therefore, it is suspected that the earth dragon has turned over. Qi Wei said.
Of course, Qi Wei only learned about the earth dragon just now. As early as yesterday, when Qi Wei was on duty in the palace, he received a letter from his niece. Qi Wei opened it and found that it was just a letter from the family, saying that Yun Yao was all right in the palace, so that the family did not have to worry about it and so on.
Qi Wei wondered why her niece was just passing a letter to report safety, but when Qi Wei looked closely, she found that the paper had been soaked, so she found a fire fold and roasted it on it.
found that his niece Yun Yao actually wrote him a sentence, which made Qi Wei's heart tremble. 'Tomorrow afternoon, the earth dragon will turn over, or it may be saved'.
The smell didn't know where his niece knew about this, he had only heard the second brother say that his niece had dreamed of some strange things, and he was a little suspicious, but now his niece's letter made Qi Wei believe it a little.
In fact, before that, the smell found that something was wrong near the capital, not to mention the recent weather fickleness, and the nearby animals seemed to be crazy, Qi Wei was familiar with history books, where did he not know the precursors of these things The dragon turned over.
It's just that Qi Wei wasn't sure before, and once something like an earthquake happens, it will involve politics, so Qi Wei didn't tell others about his discovery, but just buried it in his heart.
And the niece's message made Qi Wei a little sure of the matter. And the niece's letter about saving the car also made Qi Wei a little moved. Don't look at Qi Wei's trust that Kangxi seems to have now, but in fact, these are all false, just like he was suddenly named a first-class guard so far, there are a lot of rumors, if he makes such a great contribution now, not only will the emperor trust him more, but he will no longer be excluded by his colleagues, which can be described as a lot of benefits.
Therefore, Qi Wei was able to save Kangxi in the right place, and it was true that he was lying on the ground before and heard the sound, so this matter can be said to be seamless.
