Chapter 82: Doubts about the Holy Decree
In fact, Kangxi didn't plan to hide it from Tuhai at first, after all, it was Qi Wei who told him, and it was not strange for Tu Hai to know, but later Kangxi found out that Qi Wei didn't tell Tu Hai, so he planned to hide this from everyone. Of course, Kangxi didn't think that he could hide it all the time, as long as he could hide it after Kangxi dealt with the affairs in the palace, Kangxi didn't have to worry about the East Window incident.
And it will not harm himself and the prince Cheng Cobalt, now Kangxi's attitude towards the queen is getting worse and worse, but Cheng Cobalt is Kangxi's only prince at present, Kangxi naturally will not be disgusted with Cheng Cobalt, so he doesn't want Cheng Cobalt to bear the reputation of unfilial piety. Such a reputation will not be lost at a young age, but will only intensify as Cheng Cobalt grows up. Therefore, Kangxi also tried his best to be a father for this point.
But he didn't expect Tuhai to learn about this on the eve of his preparation, and Kangxi scratched his head a little at this time how to deal with this matter.
As I said earlier, Tu Hai is an old minister, Kangxi has always respected him very much, but Kangxi is also worried that Tu Hai will rely on the old and sell the old, and take the opportunity to climb on his head, don't blame Kangxi for being suspicious, it's really that the four ministers who care for their lives are too difficult, and Kangxi doesn't want to have such a difficult character anymore.
Of course, Tuhai, as an old fox, didn't know what Kangxi was thinking, and said at the moment: "Holy Lord, such a situation in Qin Tianjian is a dereliction of duty on the part of the old minister, and I ask the emperor to punish him." "Tuhai means that he wants to give Kangxi a step, just like Kangxi threw the pot to Tuhai in his previous life, but if he proposes it by another person, the effect will be very different.
Tu Hai took the initiative to share Kangxi's worries and Kangxi threw his fault to Tu Hai, which may be no different for Kangxi, but for Tu Hai, it is very different. If Tuhai takes the initiative to share Kangxi's worries, Kangxi will feel guilty and grateful to Tuhai at that time, which is extremely beneficial to Tuhai. But the result of forcing Kangxi to throw the fault on Tu Hai's back like in his previous life is often that Kangxi will worry that Tu Hai will be resentful in his heart, and he will only 0 become more and more alienated from Tu Hai.
Tu Hai's move obviously made Kangxi smile, but thinking of his previous plans, Kangxi was a little hesitant. Ai Ai said: "Tu Aiqing, there is no need to publicize this matter!" ”
When Tu Hai saw Kangxi's move, he said angrily: "Shengshang, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, can the emperor block the mouths of the people?" The saint thought that how did the old minister know, the queen didn't want to enter the palace, why bother to fight, the show girl didn't know the situation of the draft at that time, the saint didn't want to cover his ears and steal the bell! ”
Kangxi was a little afraid to speak when he heard what Tuhai said, and he knew that he couldn't block all the rumors, but as an emperor, Kangxi's face was really not good-looking when he was so uncovered by his courtiers.
Tu Hai saw that Kangxi's face was blue for a while and red for a while, so he slowed down and said: "What the saint does in private may not be that no one sees it, but it is better for the saint not to use these selfish methods, so as not to change his temperament." ”
Between the words, Tu Hai was very displeased with Kangxi's use of this method, but Kangxi also knew that Tu Hai was for his good, otherwise Tu Hai would not have spoken like this in front of him. Kangxi also knew that this kind of small means in private was not something worth talking about on the table, so he also said that he was taught.
Tu Hai continued: "Your Majesty, these women have made the emperor how familiar with the means of others are as good as others, the emperor must not be bewitched!" ”
Kangxi was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Tu Hai's unfathomable expression with some doubts, if he understood correctly, Tu Hai's words were obviously dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager, but who didn't know that Tu Hai had always been praised by the Empress Dowager, and Kangxi was guarding against Tu Hai in this turmoil because of this. But Tuhai's words suddenly made Kangxi a little overwhelmed.
Tu Hai saw Kangxi's puzzled expression, and naturally knew what he was thinking, so he said: "The emperor has been wronged this time, but the emperor should not be too involved in such a private matter, and when the time comes, the saint will focus on the affairs of the harem, how will the old minister face the emperor?" ”
Kangxi heard Tu Hai's comforting attitude, and felt a little comforted in his heart, Tu Hai's attitude made Kangxi understand that Tu Hai would not stand in the position of the Empress Dowager in this matter. Therefore, he also let down his guard and said: "Tu Aiqing, you said that I don't have a heart with the imperial grandmother, why is the imperial grandmother so deceitful?" In fact, there was still temptation in Kangxi's tone, and Kangxi naturally refused to give up the temptation before he got the signal that Tuhai completely fell to him.
Tu Hai also knew what Kangxi meant, so he said: "Do you still remember the box that the emperor gave to the old minister before the emperor died?" ”
As soon as Tu Hai mentioned this, Kangxi remembered it, and after Tu Hai went out with the box, he was seen by the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother's eyes seemed to be able to fly out of the knife, making people dare not look directly. "I don't know what the imperial father gave to Aiqing?" Kangxi asked curiously.
"The old minister brought it, please ask the emperor to take a look." Tu Hai didn't know if it was because of the mention of the former emperor, and his expression was a little depressed.
Kangxi took the box and opened it to take a look, and found that it was a holy decree. Kangxi was taken aback and looked up at Tuhai.
Tu Haidao: "Please open it and take a look." ”
Kangxi carefully took out the holy decree in the box, opened it, and found that it was written by the emperor's father's pen, and the handwriting was a little weak, it was clearly written by the emperor's father when he was seriously ill.
Kangxi quickly read the holy decree and was a little surprised, "This holy decree?" ”
Tu Hai nodded and said, "This holy decree is the reason why the Empress Dowager has always had such an attitude towards the old ministers. ”
Kangxi thought that in the past, the Empress Dowager had been praising Tuhai in her mouth, but once Tuhai showed signs of coming out, the Empress Dowager would suppress it. In the past, Kangxi thought that it was the Empress Dowager who avoided suspicion, and didn't want Tu Hai, who had a deep relationship with her, to be in a high position, so as not to make it difficult for herself. But now that I think about it, which minister in the DPRK has no support behind him, and the empress dowager will only be so stingy when facing Tuhai. And the courtiers supported by the other empress dowagers can be regarded as all the way to the top.
"However, this holy decree is clearly not very harmful to the imperial grandmother, and it is even beneficial, why is the imperial grandmother so jealous of you?" Kangxi looked through the holy decree suspiciously, making sure that he had not found anything harmful to the Empress Dowager.
Kangxi also knew that even if Tuhai had been secretly suppressed by the Empress Dowager over the years, he had never torn his face in the open, which was obvious that Tuhai had something in his hand that the Empress Dowager was also afraid of, so when Kangxi saw the holy decree, he thought that the imperial father was not worried about the Empress Dowager, so he left a holy decree for Tuhai in case he was suppressed and couldn't move.
But after Kangxi opened the holy decree, he found that this was not the case, and there was not a single word in the whole article that was used to curb the empress dowager.
Tu Hai smiled bitterly: "This is probably the last revenge of the first emperor before his death!" It's just that the first emperor didn't want anything wrong with the Empress Dowager, and he was worried that this holy decree would be left in the hands of others and would blackmail the empress dowager, so even if someone knew about the existence of this holy decree, the content of this holy decree would not threaten the empress dowager. ”
