Chapter 51: Kangxi knows
Qianqing Palace
A third-class guard came out of the secret place and walked in the direction of Liang Jiugong, Liang Jiugong almost screamed in fright when he looked at the person who suddenly appeared, and only relieved when he saw that it was an acquaintance Liang Jiugong.
"Deputy Commander, are you so elusive? Scared the minion's heart, fluttering and jumping! Liang Jiugong's tone was exaggerated.
The guard in the third-class guard uniform just smiled when he heard it, "Manager Liang said with a smile, if your heart doesn't flutter, you will be a corpse." โ
"Don't laugh at the slaves, the emperor is waiting for the deputy commander!" Liang Jiugong liked the attitude of this deputy commander very much, and he was just joking with him, a eunuch, like an ordinary person. It's much better than some people's complete contempt or flattery.
Liang Jiugong led the way in front and asked the deputy commander to follow him into the imperial study, and Kangxi was sitting on the top of the imperial study writing something.
Liang Jiugong asked the deputy commander to wait at the door, walked behind Kangxi and took over the work of the little eunuch who served to grind ink for Kangxi. When Kangxi finished writing this article and stopped, Liang Jiugong stepped forward to serve tea to Kangxi and said, "Master, the deputy commander is waiting outside for the master to summon you." โ
When Kangxi heard this, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and "Call him in." โ
"Slave Qiwei meets the master." Qi Wei went indoors to ask Kangxi for peace.
Kangxi motioned for Qi Wei to calm down, and said curiously: "Qi Wei, what happened again?" "It's not the first time Kangxi has asked Qi Wei like this, since Kangxi took over the secret guard, Kangxi has learned a lot of palace secrets from the secret guard, but he is very handy with the secret guard, so Qi Wei often reports to Kangxi some secret things done by people in the palace. to help Kangxi master the court.
"Qi Qi Sheng, the slave just learned a news and needs to report to the master." Qi Wei is colorful.
"The queen mother suddenly ordered the palace people who were snakes and chickens to leave the palace in the palace."
"It's just such a trivial matter, how can you come to report it solemnly." Kangxi wondered. He knew about it, and the queen had said a word before in front of him, and he didn't take it seriously before agreeing. It seems to be praying for the blessing of the son-in-law, is it possible that there is something important involved?
"The queen mother next seems to want to expel everyone in the palace from the palace." Qi Wei replied.
"What, everyone in the palace, what you said is true?" Kangxi sat up straight in shock.
As far as Kangxi is familiar with the snake in the palace, there is Concubine Niu Hulu, Kangxi's first reaction is that the queen is going to make a move on Concubine Niu Hulu, but after Kangxi was surprised, his attitude towards this matter became a little ambiguous.
Kangxi's attitude is not difficult to understand, he now only has such a lone seedling as Prince Cheng Cobalt, Kangxi has done a lot of anything that can keep him safe, and this time the queen is just using the excuse of hindering Cheng Cobalt's life, and Kangxi is unwilling to reprimand the queen for this. In addition, Kangxi has repeatedly opposed his decision in the court recently, so he has a very bad impression of Curb Pilon. Therefore, I want to turn a blind eye to the queen's design of Concubine Niu Hulu.
Qi Wei is not surprised by Kangxi's attitude, but what Qi Wei said has nothing to do with Concubine Niu Hulu, and Qi Wei will not intercede for Concubine Niu Hulu, after all, if it wasn't for Ji Bilong stepping on him, he would have fallen to that point.
"Master, the slave is not only talking about this matter, but also one thing the slave also wants to tell the master, the queen mother is about to celebrate her thirtieth birthday this year." Qi Wei emphasized the last sentence.
"Thirty birthdays are coming? It's really time to celebrate the birthday of the emperor. Wait, thirty ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Kangxi didn't react at first, and it was strange that Qi Wei suddenly mentioned the birthday of the Queen Mother, you must know that the Queen Mother lived in a simple house at this time, and she did not participate in court politics, although Kangxi did not have deep feelings for her mother-in-law, but she also felt that her mother did not interfere too much and had a respect for her. But there is no more, for example, if it weren't for Qi Wei's reminder now, Kangxi wouldn't have remembered that the Queen Mother was also born in the Year of the Snake.
Kangxi couldn't help but scold the queen when he thought of this, but he didn't know the queen mother's birthday. If the world knows, the queen mother will avoid leaving the court for her grandson, and they will not scold themselves to death!
Kangxi didn't remember that even he didn't know the queen mother's birthday at this time, but complained that the queen was not filial to the elders, if it wasn't for Qi Wei who came to tell him early, otherwise the infamy would come to him.
In fact, if Qi Wei really didn't come to report it, then Kangxi really wouldn't know about this one. In Yun Yao's life, during this draft, the queen also used this trick to deal with Concubine Niu Hulu, but Yun Yao did not participate in this draft, and the queen did not deal with her together.
And Kangxi did not have a secret guard at this time to keep an eye on the news in the palace all the time, so Kangxi's news was also a little lagging behind, and by the time he knew, it had developed to the point that the queen wanted to use this to coerce Concubine Niu Hulu, but Concubine Niu Hulu actually moved out of the queen mother's big Buddha, which led to the defeat of the queen, and the queen's desire to let the queen mother move out of the palace also spread throughout the court, because this matter was allowed by Kangxi, and therefore Kangxi was attacked by the ministers, and even Mongolia expressed dissatisfaction under the signal of the queen mother.
Later, Kangxi was taken away from the initiative in the court because of this big mistake, which led to the government having to compromise with the ministers. And Kangxi also snubbed the queen because of this, and handed over the palace power to the queen mother to manage. After that, the queen followed the news of her pregnancy again and brought back to Kangxi's heart. As for Concubine Niu Hulu, who has no son, she was also snubbed by Kangxi.
And in this life, the secret guard to which Qi Wei belonged took refuge in Kangxi early at the suggestion of Qi Wei, and in the eyes of Qi Wei, an extremely careful person, he naturally found many omissions that Kangxi did not notice.
Of course, not everyone doesn't know about the Queen Mother's birthday, but because the Queen Mother's deep residence is considered to be Kangxi's unwillingness to see this mother-in-law, those people pretend to be smart and want to please Kangxi, which leads to Kangxi's passive situation in that life.
It's just that Qi Wei is not one of those people who pretend to be smart, he knows that he can't get involved in this kind of internal struggle in the royal family, as long as he can remind Kangxi of his omissions, so he reported to Kangxi early this time.
Kangxi immediately knew the seriousness of the matter after listening to Qi Wei's report, and he also appreciated Qi Wei's ability to remind him early. Therefore, he asked Qi Wei: "This time you reminded me that I have made a great contribution, what reward do you want?" โ
When Qi Wei heard this, he knelt down and said: "This is the duty of a slave, where can I get the master's reward." โ
Seeing this, Kangxi became more and more satisfied, and said: "Although it is your duty, I still want to reward it." Say, what do you want? โ
Qi Wei replied: "Qi Qi master, the slave has one thing to ask for, and the slave wants to transfer the secret guard." โ
Kangxi was furious when he heard this: "Bastard, can it be that my deputy commander has wronged you?" โ
Before Kangxi did not incorporate the dark guard, Qi Wei had always been the deputy commander of the dark guard, and now as soon as he takes over, Qi Wei will resign from his position, doesn't this mean that he is not the master!
"The emperor is angry, there is a reason why the slave is doing this, please forgive the emperor."
Kangxi was annoyed in his heart, and wanted to hear the reason for this courtier he admired: "Say it! โ
