The fire in the small red clay stove was blazing, and Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao were sitting on the couch chatting enthusiastically. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two chatted from meeting each other in the martial arts competition, talking about capturing Aobai, talking about debunking the fake queen mother, and talking about breaking Wu Sangui...... They haven't been together for too long, but they've experienced a lot of things together.

The two chatted happily, they seemed to be slightly drunk, and there was no distinction between monarchs and ministers, just two old friends who had reunited after a long absence.

Kangxi was emotional for a while and coughed, and Wei Xiaobao hurriedly went over to give him a back massage.

"It's old,......" Kangxi sighed: "It's not okay to be old." ”

Wei Xiaobao's heart was sour, and he had the heart to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say, so he changed the topic and said, "The two people who accompanied you in just now are your sons." ”

Kangxi said: "You are also old and dizzy, and you are a son wherever you look." Obviously it is a son and a grandson. ”

Wei Xiaobao smiled: "When I married seven wives, I thought I would be better than you, but now it seems that I was too naïve at the beginning." ”

Kangxi said proudly: "Speaking of which, Xiao Guizi, I want to ask you, how many sons and grandsons do you have now?"

"Then I'm going to count ...... on my fingers," he said, and he really counted his fingers "one, two, three, four".

"Don't count, it's definitely not as much as me. ”

Xiaobao had no choice but to give up and admit defeat: "I am convinced of this." ”

Emperor Kangxi gave birth to more than 50 children in his life, which is still the result of "not being concerned with beauty", in comparison, Wei Xiaobao's six sons, three daughters and nine children are too inferior.

Kangxi smiled, then shook his head and sighed: "Having more children may not be a good thing......

Wei Xiaobao nodded in agreement and said, "So I leave it to their mother, I only fish, listen to books, drink every day, ......."

“...... You're luckier than me. ”

"Where do you start with this? You are the emperor and you are in charge of the world, and there is no one more majestic than you. ”

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "How can the emperor be so good...... But no matter how good or bad it is, it has been done for so many years, I originally thought that the country was stable, and the foundation of the ancestors was kept, but now that I am older, I can enjoy the blessings, but ......"

Speaking of this, he coughed again, and Wei Xiaobao hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "But it backfired." ”

Wei Xiaobao said: "What is it that makes you so worried, or you say it, see if I can share your worries." ”

Kangxi didn't say it directly, and turned his head to look at Wei Xiaobao: "You sit down, I'll ask you a few questions." ”

Wei Xiaobao sat down in Kangxi and looked at Kangxi seriously, waiting for his question.

"Little Guizi, let me ask you, have your children started to fight for your family property now?"

"I ...... Where do I have any property, and what is my little thing in your eyes?"

"Phew, don't be sloppy with me, others don't know what you're capable of, I don't know?

Wei Xiaobao smiled awkwardly and said, "This habit can't be changed." However, when it comes to the problem of competing for family property, I am afraid that no family can avoid it. ”

"So, you're having this problem too?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded: "Hmm." ”

"How did you deal with it?"

"Treat everyone equally, and everyone will finish the matter equally. But...... After accumulating for so many years, I have really saved some family business, and it is impossible to achieve an average score, so I can only slowly observe them to see which one has the ability to manage this family business. ”

"What if each has its own strengths, but it has to be given to only one of them?"

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao already knew what Kangxi was asking, he didn't answer immediately, but thought for a long time, and suddenly burst into a foul mouth: "Then fuck it, which one is pleasing to the eye and which one is pleasing to the eye." ”

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Which sentence is pleasing to the eye and handed over to which ......" After a while, he said: "A family can still be so willful, but how can the burden of a country be such a child's play?"

Wei Xiaobao said: "You know me, run small errands, and I will become a person who disagrees with you, I don't know anything about this kind of big thing." ”

Although Wei Xiaobao has not been in the government and the opposition for many years, he still has an unparalleled sense of political acumen, and he knows that this kind of thing can only pretend to be crazy and stupid, and cannot be falsely spoken, because if he is not careful, he may be killed.

"Little Guizi!" Kangxi slapped the table.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "The slave is here." ”

Kangxi glared at him, and after a while, he sat down again, and said leisurely: "Do you remember when I discussed with the ministers about cutting the domain?"

"Of course I remember, but I still think it's funny when I think back to that scene. ”

"Yes, funny, the great joke of the world, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the pillars of the country, when facing such a major event as cutting the domain, everyone kicks the ball with me, sees the wind makes the rudder, and stands on the wall...... If it weren't for your wit that day, I would almost not have gotten off the stage. ”

The two recalled the double reed play of the monarch and the minister that day, and they both felt a burst of warmth in their hearts.

"But after so many years, no one in the DPRK and China is willing to play such a play with me. ”

Wei Xiaobao said: "That's because your prestige has been achieved, and they are afraid of you." ”

"Are you not afraid of me? You are not afraid of me, why have you been hiding for decades?"

Wei Xiaobao was silent.

Kangxi shook his head again and said: "Don't mention this matter, Xiao Guizi, I will ask you seriously today, if you sit in my seat now, facing several sons with their own strengths, how will you choose an heir?"

Wei Xiaobao was still hesitant and silent.

Kangxi said: "It's okay for you to say, the words come out of your mouth and into my ears, and there will be no third person in the world who knows." ”

"In that case, I will be bold and blunt, and you must not laugh at me if you can't say it. ”

"Say it. ”

"Little Xuanzi, if I sit in your seat now, I will choose a prince who can manage those officials as the heir. ”

"Can you manage the officials?"

"That's right, it was okay a few years ago, but in recent years, those who have become officials have become more and more emboldened. ”

Kangxi's face became solemn and asked, "Why are you so bold?"

"Corrupt and pervert the law, buy and sell officials, bully others, what else, what is the name of the one Su Quan told me, what is the meal, what is it?"

"Vegetarian corpse!"

"Yes, those are the words. ”

"How do you know this?"

"I'm doing business in Dali City, if you want to make a deal smoothly, the upper and lower officials will do it, one can't be less, as for buying and selling officials, it is even more clearly marked with the price, don't tell you, I bought a few officials and handed them over to my subordinates to do in order to make the business go smoothly......"

Kangxi glared at Wei Xiaobao again and said, "No one is more proficient in the tricks of officialdom than you." ”

"I'm ashamed. ”

Kangxi snorted, then fell into deep thought, and sighed after a while: "I knew that there was a big problem with the minister's governance, but I still didn't know that the problem was so serious." ”

"The capital is under your nose, maybe it's not like that. ”

"Hmph!" Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "The capital is even worse!"

Wei Xiaobao actually didn't understand this truth, he just wanted to comfort Kangxi.

"Among my sons, there is one who can control the corrupt officials......"

Wei Xiaobao continued: "Could it be the one just now?"

"It's him, the fourth Yinzhen, because I made him the prince, everyone calls him the king of cold noodles, and he is the most able to deal with corrupt officials. ”

Wei Xiaobao nodded silently.

"He was also the one who facilitated the meeting between you and me this time, and I will reward him a little bit when I go back. ”

Wei Xiaobao said: "So, that Jia Liyu is an errand under the fourth elder brother?"

"Jia Liyu?"

"It is the child of the owner of this room, and he is also the person who grasped the transfer from Dali to Yangzhou this time. ”

"That might be his errand boy. ”

Wei Xiaobao said: "If Jia Liyu is really the fourth elder brother's person, then the fourth elder brother's chances of winning are thirty percent greater." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"You may not have seen that Jia Liyu yet, so you will be clear, he and the fourth elder brother, such as me and you back then, but Jia Liyu is both civil and military, he is simply obedient, a hundred times better than me. ”

"He's so powerful, and he deserves such praise from you?"

"If it weren't for him, unless you go to Dali in person, I won't leave a single step in this world. ”

"In that case, I should have met him. ”

"You must see it, and if he is not the fourth elder brother's person, you can take it for your own use first, as a sharp blade and treasure knife, and it will be of great use in the future. ”

Kangxi said: "Then send him in to meet." Someone!"

Yinzhen, who was outside the door, pushed the door in when he heard this, and asked, "Amma, what are your orders?"

"Go and invite Jia Liyu, the son of the master here. ”

"Yes. ”

Yin Zhen exited the door and brought Jia Liyu for a while, Jia Liyu hugged his fists and asked, "I don't know if the guest called me, what are your orders?"

Kangxi's face changed sharply, and he shouted: "Seeing that I dare not kneel down to worship, what crime do I dare to do, come and take him down to me!"

Yin Zhen was so frightened that his face changed, and he quickly knelt down and pleaded: "Huang Ama, Brother Jia, a person in the rivers and lakes, does not understand temple etiquette, and asks Huang Ama to forgive his sins." ”

Without waiting for Yinzhen to finish speaking, six yellow-clothed people rushed in outside the door, and they couldn't help but go forward to arrest Jia Liyu, but what shocked them was that Jia Liyu was obviously standing there motionless, and they just couldn't grab any part of his body.

The scene suddenly became weird, and I saw a group of people grabbing around Jia Liyu's body with their teeth and claws, but they couldn't catch people.

Kangxi is also a person who has seen excellent kung fu, but at this moment he is still amazed, unless the person in front of him is an immortal and understands the art of Zhuge , how can he avoid arrest without moving?

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "You guys go down." ”

The man in yellow, who had been frightened and sweating profusely, hurriedly bowed down and withdrew.

Kangxi's expression became gentle when he looked at Jia Liyu, and he said, "What kind of kung fu did you do just now?"

"Leaves don't stick to you. Jia Liyu replied.

"Good kung fu, good name. Kangxi praised and asked, "How long have you been with the fourth elder brother?"

Jia Liyu shook his head and said: "In the next Jiejiang and Jiang Ruan, I have only had a one-sided relationship with the fourth elder brother, and I have no followers. ”

"Then why did you want to help me invite Mr. Wei from Dali?"

"Because of the filial piety of the Hongli brothers. ”

"Hongli?" Kangxi laughed and said, "It's actually for Hongli, well, I know, just now Mr. Wei vigorously recommended you to me, saying that you are both civil and military, and you are a great talent, so I ask you, are you willing to do things for me?"

"As long as I kneel without seeing anyone, I don't mind sharing the worries of the two old people. ”

Kangxi chatted with Wei Xiaobao for a long time just now, and the emperor's domineering aura was somewhat diluted, and at this time, he saw Jia Liyu's dignified appearance and extraordinary instruments, and immediately judged that this person was not a thing in the pool, if he could take advantage of the situation, he might not be able to be used by the new monarch in the future, and immediately stopped pursuing his misdemeanor, and said: "In this case, how about I let you walk in a south study first?"

"No problem. ”

No problem? Kangxi felt choked again.

That night, Kangxi had dinner with Wei Xiaobao at Jia's house, and after dinner, he drove back to the palace, and instructed Wei Xiaobao before leaving: "Before leaving Yangzhou, be sure to see me again." ”

After Wei Xiaobao sent Kangxi away, he stood at the intersection of the independent intersection and looked at Kangxi's back for a long time. (To be continued.) )
