Chapter 286: Outsiders Speculate
Even if Tuhai knew that there were many obstacles ahead, he had to go on hard. So Tu Hai made up his mind and decided to go to Kangxi for a showdown, of course, Tu Hai would not confront Kangxi so hard, and let Kangxi give him an explanation, which would not be beneficial to Tu Hai's arrival.
What Tu Hai thinks is that at least he must find out what Kangxi really thinks first, and then make a decision. So Tu Hai got up and was going to meet Kangxi.
Tu Hai was thinking about what Kangxi would do with apprehension, but he didn't expect to see Qi Wei and Wu Lu about to enter the door as soon as he went out.
Tu Hai chuckled in his heart when he saw it, thinking that something had changed.
Brother Wu Lu saw that Tuhai was about to go out, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Tuhai.
Tu Hai also knew that if it wasn't for an urgent matter, they wouldn't come to the Ministry of Rites in front of the public, they used to talk at home, but now Wu Lu and they suddenly acted like this, it must be a really big deal, so they hurriedly let the two of them come in with him to Tu Hai's usual place to deal with official business.
As soon as Qi Wei entered the door, he couldn't help but be angry, and said to Tu Hai: "Big brother, you don't know, Ji Bi Long is really so shameless, he even wrote to the emperor that Brother Fosun is unwilling to leave Fuzhou, and asked the emperor to let the big brother continue to stay in Fuzhou, he Ji Bi Long not only wants the big brother to be unable to return to Beijing, but also wants the big brother to get the emperor's disgust!" โ
Tu Hai knew that what Qi Wei said was not unreasonable, this superior was the most taboo for his subordinates not to listen to commands, if the emperor really thought that Fosun was unwilling to leave Fuzhou, and thought that Fosun was going to be the emperor of Fuzhou, so he had a bad impression of Fosun, then Fosun's official career would be completely ruined! Not to mention that the emperor is at the age of strong blood, and he hates this kind of person who goes against his will the most.
Thinking of this Tuhai, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and said with some anxiety on his face: "Where did you know about this matter, and did the emperor also see the excerpt of Curb Pilon?" โ
Wu Lu saw that Tuhai was anxious, and hurriedly comforted: "Big brother don't worry, haven't we already taken precautions before, even Concubine Zhao Niangniang also talked about the eldest brother's homesickness in front of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely not take this matter seriously!" โ
Tu Hai only reacted after listening to Wu Lu's words, and at this time, Tu Hai had to secretly sigh that he was old, and he was not as shrewd as before, but Tu Hai was only sad for a while, and he was not immersed in this emotion, but asked with some doubts: "It stands to reason that Jubilon wants to frame Buddha Sun, and he won't make such a big fuss, why do you all know it?" โ
Qi Wei interjected when he heard this: "Big brother, you don't know, just now I was talking with my second brother in the restaurant, and I happened to meet that kid from Faqi who was making a lot of nonsense because he was drunk, and he also said that he missed the matter of Curb Pilon against Brother Fosun, so my second brother and I only found out about it." โ
When Tu Hai heard this, he focused on Faqi, frowned and said, "What did Faqi say?" โ
Qi Wei and Wu Lu couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Tu Hai asking, and they didn't know how to answer.
Tu Hai didn't know why when he saw it, it was just that Fa Qi didn't say anything good about him and Wu Lu, and Tu Hai couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
Qi Wei Wu Lu didn't know how to persuade Tu Hai when he saw it, so he could only keep silent, after all, the two of them really heard what Fa Qi said, the two of them could suppress the anger in their hearts, it would be good if they didn't beat Fa Hai hard, how could they persuade Tu Hai?
Seeing that the two of them were also angry, Tu Hai suddenly smiled and said, "Do you two want revenge?" โ
Qi Wei and Wu Lu were startled when they saw Tu Hai's expression. The two began to recall that the last time the eldest brother showed such an expression, it seemed that he was preparing to pit the Hesheri family?
Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other, and the two of them could clearly find that the excitement in each other's eyes, obviously Qi Wei and Wu Lu were very gloating about this, after all, the person who could escape the rectification of Tuhai had not yet appeared!
Qi Wei and Wu Lu didn't know what Tu Hai was going to do, so they were still confused when they followed Tu Hai to the gate of the palace.
Tu Hai saw that the two of them were not enlightened, and he was angry and wanted to knock on the heads of the two of them, usually looking very clever, how could he drop the chain at a critical time. However, they had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and Tu Hai also had to pay attention to the image so he didn't make a move, but instead gritted his teeth and said: "Since you two heard that your eldest brother was framed, don't you have to go to the emperor to complain?" โ
At this time, Qi Wei and Wu Lucai looked suddenly enlightened, which made Tu Hai feel itchy when he saw it, but in the end, Tu Hai couldn't help it and knocked them twice on the heads.
Not only Qi Wei but also Wu Lu didn't react, touching the sore forehead and looking at Tu Hai with an aggrieved expression, the two brothers moved in sync.
Tu Hai didn't pay attention to the stupid appearance of the two of them at all, and went straight into the palace gate, and Wu Luqiwei had to follow when he saw this.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
After the three of them left, they didn't see a few guards guarding the palace gate, and they were squeezing their eyebrows and pointing at the departing Wu Luqiwei.
One of them secretly laughed and said, "I didn't expect Lord Qi Wei to have such a side, it's really a long experience!" "Because Qi Wei had been in the guards for a short time before, these guards were also very interested in Qi Wei's performance.
Another tall and thin man also smiled: "That's right, and the one standing next to Lord Qi Wei is not Lord Qi Wei's brother, Zhao Concubine Niangniang's Amma, I didn't expect him to look like this in front of Lord Tu." โ
There was also a man with a Chinese character face who looked extremely upright, and he also showed gossip eyes, and said: "You don't know, Lord Qiwei, and this Zhao Concubine Niangniang's Amma, both of them were brought up by Master Tu!" โ
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, obviously very surprised by the words of the man with the national character, but before Wu Lu's family was inconspicuous, and there were not many people from afar who knew about Tuhai and Niu Hulu's family, but this man with the national character face was one of the few who knew about it.
Seeing that some people were suspicious, the man with the national character face immediately blushed and said: "My family is also inlaid with yellow flags, and I am neighbors with Lord Wu Lu's family, how can what I say be false?" โ
Seeing the anger on the face of the country, everyone hurriedly appeased the man with the face of the country, not only because they were colleagues, but they also wanted to know the gossip!
The man with the national character face saw that everyone was looking at him with a curious face, and he immediately felt very proud. At that moment, I can't wait to tell everyone everything I know in my stomach.
"You don't know, Lord Qi Wei also has two elder brothers, one is now working outside, and the other is Zhao Concubine's Amma! These three brothers are all the best of the best..."
The tall and thin man next to him interjected and interrupted: "It's okay that you said that Lord Qi Wei is powerful, we are all convinced, but we haven't seen Lord Qi Wei's eldest brother and won't mention it for the time being, but Zhao Concubine Niang's Ama ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
As soon as these words came out, except for the face of the national character, everyone else agreed a little, in fact, it was not just them, everyone felt that Wu Lu could be named a scholar of Baohe Palace by the emperor, most of them were stained with the light of Zhao Concubine, and everyone did not recognize Wu Lu's strength.
You must know that the person who was taken down in front of him was Suo Etu, and everyone felt that Suo Etu still had the merit of giving advice to the emperor, but Wu Lu had no merit, which inevitably made people doubt Wu Lu's level.
Seeing this, the man with the national character face hurriedly retorted, "What do you know?" If Lord Wu Lu hadn't been pinched by someone at the beginning, he would have risen all the way up, so why not have only one official with a four-rank leader. โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone was very interested, and they were very concerned about this kind of officialdom secrets, after all, who didn't have the ambition to make a name for themselves in the court? The more they know about these things, the more sure they are, right?
The man with the national character face couldn't help but feel a little complacent when he saw that everyone's attention was attracted to him. Everyone was a little impatient when they saw it, and urged the national character face to continue.
The man with the national character face didn't take his attitude, so he continued: "You don't know, when this Lord Wu Lu was about to be promoted by the emperor, when he was serving as a bachelor of Hanlin, he suddenly stepped in and gave the emperor a fold, saying that the clansmen had no talent and no virtue and could not serve as the emperor's favor, and refused the emperor's promotion, but as you can see, Lord Wu Lu has not been promoted for nearly several years. โ
At this time, the tall and thin man asked with some confusion: "Who are you talking about, Lord Curb Pilon?" โ
Hearing this, the man with a national character face asked with a strange face: "Who else could it be?" This Lord is the patriarch of the Niu Hulu clan, who else is so justifiable besides him? โ
At this time, the atmosphere between several people was condensed, and the guards who could only serve at the gate of the palace showed that their background was not high, but they could get the position of guards, and they also had some connections in the family, so almost all of these people had one thing in common, that is, they were all side branches of the big family, and they had the blessing of the family, but they had to be suppressed by the branch of the family, so they had some empathy for Wu Lu's experience.
A few people were silent for a long time, and the man with the national character face saw that the faces of several colleagues were not good-looking, and he also knew that he had said the sore spot of everyone, although they looked very beautiful, but in the case of someone in the clan, the little benefit in the clan could not be their turn to these side branches, otherwise how could they come to guard the palace gate so bitterly.
The man with the national character face hurriedly comforted everyone: "Don't you be too depressed, you see that Lord Wu Lu and Lord Qiwei are also side branches, do you know that their current scenery is not our tomorrow?" โ
The thin and tall man snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "We don't have a Tuhai master, how dare Xiao think so much." The tall and thin man said a few sarcasm, but his expression was a little sad, obviously feeling that the future was hopeless.
At this time, a thin man who had been silent just now and stood aside and only listened to the discussion of the crowd said in a quiet tone: "Just now before I came to duty, I passed by Fuyuan Building and saw that Lord Ji's son-in-law Fa Qi had a conflict with Lord Qiwei and Lord Wu Lu, and Lord Jipilon's son also said that Lord Qiwei's eldest brother could not be transferred back to the capital, because Lord Ji had already written a letter to reject the matter for Lord Qiwei's eldest brother, and also said that the eldest brother of Lord Qi Wei was nostalgic for the prosperity of Jiangnan and did not want to return to the capital often. โ
As soon as these words came out, the others looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort themselves. Obviously, the method of curbione made everyone shudder.
The man with the face of the national character said at this time: "Don't worry about Lord Qi Wei, I think Lord Qi Wei is clearly here to sue just now, so Lord Curb Pilon may not be able to please him!" โ
When everyone heard it, they also felt that what the national character face said made sense, and these things had to be hidden from people to put it bluntly, and now that they were told by the law, it was strange that Lord Qiwei didn't go to the emperor to ask for an explanation!
The man with the national character face smiled again: "Haven't you ever thought of emulating the practice of Lord Qi Wei's family?" โ
When the tall and thin man heard this, he grabbed the arm of the man with a national character face, and said excitedly: "My old brother, if you have any way to tell us about these brothers, we are all iron-clad friends, but we can't ignore the brothers!" โ
As soon as these words came out, the man with the national character face couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, the thin and tall man in front of him was the most scathing, but now he was called affectionate. However, in order to complete his task, the man with the national character face could only endure this torture secretly.
With a smile on his face, he said to the few people in front of him: "Don't blame my brother, I didn't remind you, this time I can show you a clear way, do you know the recent rumors about the harem?" โ
Everyone was a little overwhelmed when they heard this, and the tall and thin man first said with some hesitation: "Is it the next thing?" โ
Seeing this, the man with the national character face said: "Brother is smart, that's it!" Haven't you heard..."
When the man with the national character face said this, he looked left and right, and then whispered: "Does the emperor want to set up a concubine as the successor?" โ
Everyone was frightened when they heard this, and the thin and tall man hurriedly said, "You're right, it's really Concubine Zhao?" But why is Concubine Zhao! โ
Hearing this, Guozi said with some disdain: "Just because Concubine Zhao is the niece of Lord Tuhai, and now that Concubine Zhao is pregnant, I can't say that I can give birth to a healthy prince for the emperor!" But none of that matters," Kokuji Face said and stopped, looking at everyone.
Seeing this, the tall thin man hurriedly urged: "Say it quickly!" โ
Seeing this, the man with the national character face didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and said directly: "The most important thing is Ling Tai, the sibling brother of Concubine Zhao Niangniang, who is among the best in the examination!" โ
When everyone heard this, they felt that the face of the national character was entertaining them, and their faces suddenly became unsightly.
Seeing this, the national character face explained: "You forgot, Concubine Zhao and her brother are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and they are auspicious when they are born, and Ling Tai is also a rare talent among our Manchurians, although we Manchus say that they don't look down on the imperial examination, but who doesn't know, the imperial examination is as difficult as climbing to heaven for us Manchurians, Ling Tai's son is so good in the exam, how can the emperor be unhappy?" After all, the emperor also needs Wenchen!
And I heard that Lord Tuhai deliberately avoided suspicion this time, obviously believing in Ling Tai Gongzi's talent, as you can also see, Ling Tai Gongzi took the ninth place in the examination, this is an ironclad two list of Jinshi! โ
The national character face said so much, and before he got to the point, everyone was a little impatient, and when the man with the national character face saw this, he didn't delay and said directly: "We can't compare to the situation of Ling Taigongzi, but we can also borrow it!"
Our guards are all on the path of martial arts, but we also have to think about the next generation, we can't fight for a lifetime in the future, and we have to send our children and grandchildren to the battlefield! And you see that since the results of Prince Ling Tai came out, the emperor has the intention of making Concubine Zhao the queen, doesn't this explain the emperor's meaning? โ
The thin and tall man said with some hesitation when he heard this: "What my brother said is also true, but our family is not like that Lingtai son, we are all big and coarse, can the children be good?" There are also those Han gentlemen invited outside, I always feel a little unreliable, and I don't feel at ease! โ
The thin and tall words also speak to everyone's thoughts, if they are busy for a while and fail to let the children have a good future, then it is better to let the children take the road of joining the army.
Seeing this, the face of the national character was a joke: "You are all blind, have you forgotten that the emperor deliberately opened an official school a while ago, and let the children of Manchuria go to study, and the teachers are all Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, which is not much better than the gentleman invited outside?" And the official school is full of people's children, and they also learn to ride and shoot, and these people will be connected in the future! In this officialdom, isn't it just a network? โ
The thin and tall man said with some hesitation: "How can I hear that there are many people who are unwilling to go to the official school, wouldn't we be shooting the first bird if we go?" In fact, the tall and thin man was completely tempted at this time, but he still had some concerns in his heart.
The man with the national character face looked disdainful, and said: "Those descendants are self-respecting and noble, and naturally disdain the little resources in the official schools outside, but we are not very capable, isn't it worth taking a little risk for the future of our children and grandchildren?" โ
After hearing this, everyone also made up their minds to let their children go to official schools, no matter what, it was just for the future of their children and grandchildren, and the man with the national character face smiled and said nothing when he looked at everything in front of him.
