Chapter 54: Prince Gong
Prince Gong Changning is the fifth son of the first emperor, Kangxi's younger brother, with a noble status, straightforward personality, and good popularity, and is quite popular among the children of a clan. Of course, Prince Gong also won Kangxi's trust, although he was not as good as Prince Yu Fuquan, but he was also favored.
Kangxi, as the emperor, must not be easy to get out of the palace, after all, his safety is related to the country, even if he is willful, the empress dowager can't help him.
However, in recent years, due to the rebellion of the three feudatories, wars have occurred frequently, and the war situation has been changeable, so it is naturally impossible for Kangxi, the emperor, to just sit in the palace and wait for news. Since the year he was rescued by Yunxi, Kangxi has taken a few days out of the palace at a specific time every year to explore the situation outside. One is to see what the world is like under his own governance, and the other is to contact and recruit some people of insight to work for them.
Don't look at Kangxi's policy of suppressing while co-opting in the face of the Han people, but when he really meets talented people, Kangxi still hopes to be used by him, after all, the world is so big, it is impossible to completely grasp it just by relying on them.
This time out of the palace, Kangxi was quietly traveling, who knew that he met Chang Ning who was about to enter the palace when he arrived at the palace gate, and the two brothers argued, and finally Kangxi couldn't resist the entanglement of Chang Ning's younger brother's dead face, so he could only let him follow.
After arriving at Tanzhe Temple, although Kangxi had the intention of seeing Yunxi, he didn't think about it so early, who knew that the fate between him and this girl was deeper than he imagined.
Yunxi left a deep and good impression on Kangxi, and even he didn't understand why he wanted to pay attention to her. Maybe it's because of the grace of saving his life, or maybe it's because she behaves differently from ordinary people, or maybe they have similar experiences, anyway, there are too many reasons for him to choose to pay attention to her, and even when he doesn't notice it, paying attention to her has become a habit for him.
It is said that a person like Yunxi who is easy to affect his emotions, he should get rid of it quickly and not let her become his weakness, but at this time, Kangxi is far from being as ruthless as in the previous life, and now he is young and vigorous, with a trace of rebellion, the more the Empress Dowager stops, the more he wants to try, and Yunxi is the one who makes him pick and break the principle.
At this time, Kangxi didn't expect that he would fall into it in the future, but the domineering and arrogance in his bones made him believe that he could control everything.
Chang Ning followed Kangxi's side, naturally wanting to protect Kangxi's safety, but unfortunately Kangxi was too casual, so that he often looked for people in the temple like a headless fly.
Today, Kangxi didn't go out without saying a word, but Chang Ning couldn't sit still, and took people to relax in the temple, but he didn't want to bump into acquaintances.
"The slave greets the prince. Lunbu was also stunned when he saw Chang Ning, he came to see the beauty, but he didn't want to bump into Prince Gong halfway.
"Sniff. Chang Ning raised his hand and looked at Lunbu's honest appearance, he wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking that Kangxi didn't need him, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, so he hit the idea on Lunbu.
Lunbu was a little embarrassed by Chang Ning's invitation, this master looks easy to get along with on weekdays, but he is not a person in their circle. Even if his sister is the queen, there is really no communication between them, at most they know each other, and they really don't have any friendship.
Lunbu, who was inexplicably dragged to the Zen room in the backyard, really wanted to say goodbye, he came to see the beauty, not to accompany the big man to relieve his boredom.
Chang Ning didn't care about the expression on Lunbu's face, he just wanted to find someone to relieve his boredom, but unfortunately there was only one Lunbu who bumped into him, there was no way, he couldn't choose him if he didn't choose.
During the awkward chat between the two, Kangxi, who had finished watching the recital, heard the movement outside, and couldn't help but glance at Liang Jiugong beside him, and asked, "What's going on outside?
For Chang Ning's younger brother, Kangxi is pampered and helpless, although he has always boasted of his brotherhood, but the relationship between him, Fuquan and Chang Ning is still very good. Fuquan, as the elder brother, is the most calm, and Chang Ning, as the younger brother, behaves a little out-of-the-box, if it weren't for this, Kangxi would not have been forced by him on this trip.
"If you go back to the emperor, Prince Gong met Lord Lunbu of the Hesheri family halfway, so he invited Lord Lunbu over, and the two were continuing their conversation in the courtyard next door. Liang Jiugong saw Kangxi asking, and he didn't dare to hide it at all, so he told the matter one by one.
Kangxi pondered for a moment, thinking about the folds he had asked people to check last night, and thinking that the little girl was almost calculated again because of Lunbu, he couldn't help frowning, "Go and let someone call the two of them in." ”
"Huh. Liang Jiugong saluted Kangxi, and the moment he turned around, he couldn't help but weigh the weight of Yunxi in Kangxi's heart again.
It is said that the deceased filial piety and sincerity are the most satisfactory to the emperor, and Concubine Tong Jia is the most popular with the emperor, but the fact is that the emperor is not as attentive to Empress Xiaochengren as he imagined, whether it is Concubine Tong Jia. On the contrary, the emperor was very attentive, but he did not include the intention of the harem at all, and the intention of this is really incomprehensible.
Liang Jiugong did not dare to delay Kangxi's order at all, and as soon as he left the room, he directly recruited his apprentice Xiao Dezi and signaled him to invite Prince Gong and Lunbu.
At this time, although Xiao Dezi was young, he was very clever, and Liang Jiugong was quite satisfied with his words and deeds, so he brought people to his side. Don't look at the weekdays only to run errands, but the key depends on who is running errands, so even if the current Xiaodezi is not soaring, his life is really good.
"The slave greets Prince Gong, and greets Lord Lunbu. As soon as Xiao Dezi entered the courtyard next door, he respectfully saluted the two of them.
As soon as Chang Ning saw Xiao Dezi, he knew that he was a person beside Kangxi, so he was a little more cautious in his attitude, "But does the second brother have any instructions?"
"Back to the prince's words, the emperor asked the prince and Lord Lunbu to come over. Xiao Dezi replied honestly.
"Do you know what the second brother is for?" Chang Ning asked as he got up.
Xiao Dezi looked at Prince Gong who was so jumpy, and couldn't laugh or cry on his face, "If you go back to the prince's words, the slave doesn't know." ”
Chang Ning couldn't ask anything, and he didn't care, so he shook the fan in his hand and walked directly to the courtyard where Kangxi lived. And the cloth behind him looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned, obviously not expecting to meet Kangxi here.
Speaking of Yi Lunbu's identity, calling Kangxi a brother-in-law is also a choice, but he doesn't dare. One is because Kangxi has accumulated a deep prestige, and the other is that he is self-aware, and he doesn't think that he can win Kangxi's favor as a gentleman, as for the three, his purpose of coming to Tanzhe Temple today is not pure, and he is afraid that Kangxi will know and reprimand him.
But even so, he didn't dare to disobey Kangxi's order, but this little leg trembled vigorously, so he didn't have the courage to face it!
"The slave asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace. As soon as Chang Ning and Lunbu entered the room, they automatically saluted Kangxi, who was sitting at the top.
"Flat. Kangxi glanced at Chang Ning and Lunbu, who were honestly kneeling below, and responded casually.
For Chang Ning, Kangxi can't take him, and he didn't do anything, but Lunbu, although his plan has little to do with Yunxi, but in the end it still involves her. If it weren't for the shrewdness of that girl, who was really pushed out, although he also had a way to relieve her, in the end it would be in the way of reputation. It can be said that the more difficult Yunxi is, the more distressed Kangxi feels, and the more he worries.
As the younger brother of the Hesheri clan, Kangxi naturally paid attention to it, but unfortunately the two brothers were not talented people, the eldest Changsuo was fine, at least he still had the posture of keeping it, and the old Lunbu was a complete gentleman, otherwise how could he make such a fuss.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. Lunbu stood up, and the moment he looked up, he quickly glanced at Kangxi, and asked with a flattering smile: "Why did the emperor leave the palace?"
Kangxi glanced up at him, thinking about the purpose of his coming here, the smile in his eyes couldn't help but fade a little, although the purpose of his coming here was not necessarily for that little girl, but as long as Kangxi thought that the little girl might be framed and become Lunbu's concubine, he felt uncomfortable. However, Kangxi is the one who is the emperor in the end, even if he feels unhappy, he hides his thoughts very well: "What? I want to leave the palace, I have to notify you first?"
When Lunbu heard Kangxi's words, he thought that Kangxi was angered by his words, so he couldn't help but weaken his calves, and knelt down again, "The emperor is angry, the slave doesn't mean that, the slave is just worried about the emperor's safety, and asks the emperor to investigate." ”
"Alright, I know what you want. Kangxi looked at him with such a useless look, sneered in his heart, and said directly: "You don't have to worry about my safety, as for the purpose of your coming here, I also know." ”
"The emperor forgives the sin, it is the slave Meng Lang. As soon as Lunbu heard that Kangxi knew the purpose of his visit, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He said that as soon as he entered this Tan Zhe Temple, he bumped into Prince Gong, and then he was summoned by the emperor, and it turned out that he was unlucky and happened to bump into him. From this point of view, the little lady of the Suo Yuluo family is a disaster star at all, and he has not met to restrain him like this, and he has to be unlucky to the end when he meets and marries home?
That's it, there are thousands of beauties in this world, and he doesn't want this beauty of the Suo Yuluo family.
The corners of Kangxi's mouth curved, and when he saw the drastically changed appearance of Lunbu's face, he continued: "I am busy with government affairs, and I rarely control you, but this does not mean that you have to be unenterprising. ”
"The slave remembers the emperor's teachings. In the face of Kangxi's teachings, Lun Bu Nene responded, not daring to be perfunctory at all.
As a disciple of the Eight Banners, the emperor's brother-in-law, even if Lunbu is gentle, he also has brains, and not everyone is qualified to listen to the emperor's teachings, he can listen not because he has any extraordinary talent, but completely because of his sister and the prince.
"Now that you understand, don't run around for three days. Kangxi said casually, raised his hand and motioned for him to go out.
"Huh. When Lunbu heard this, he immediately responded honestly, and he didn't dare to disobey at all.
Chang Ning on the side watched it with relish, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes when he looked at Kangxi. Although he didn't know what happened, as far as those conversations just now were concerned, his second brother must have taken a fancy to some kind of beauty.
"Okay, the master and the second brother still have something to say, you go out and stay first!" Chang Ning waved his hand and said, then set his eyes on Kangxi, who was sitting behind the desk.
Lunbu didn't dare to stay longer, and when he saw Kangxi also waving his hand, he immediately walked out.
Kangxi looked at Shang Changning's playful eyes, and knew that he had seen some clues, although he had no intention of sharing his views and feelings about Yunxi with him, but he wanted to ask his opinion on repaying his kindness.
