Chapter 235: Troubled Waters (16)
The eldest brother was inexplicably frightened, his face was gray, and he bowed his head and retreated. Yinhe was full of 10,000 unhappiness in his heart: The emperor's father wanted to punish Yinren's heart, and as early as the time of Burhasutai, he looked at one or two, and said that the emperor's father was inconvenient to say, and that it was still wrong to share the worries of the monarch's father. Suddenly, Yinyu's heart was happy again: Shicai has such a big fire, Xu still has Zhang Mingde to look at the eighth child. Hehe, 'unspeakably expensive'? It's wonderful! When he got out of the Qianqing Gate, Yinhe's face changed to a hateful expression, and his steps were much brisker.
In the Zhaoren Hall on the east side of the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi furrowed his brows deeply, looked at the broken porcelain, and his eyes swept to see the little eunuchs who were busy picking up, and several blue-gray figures shook in front of him, adding a little annoyance: "Don't touch it!" Li Dequan waited with Kangxi's side, and seeing that Kangxi was not happy, he quickly made a gesture and let a few little eunuchs retreat, and said in a low voice: "Long live the master, the slave will press you and let you relax for a while?" Kangxi didn't say anything when he heard it, he only raised his hand slightly, Li Dequan knew that Kangxi wanted to see the folds, so he hurriedly picked up a stack from the corner of the imperial case, put it on Kangxi's side, and waited to pick up a few copies and present them to Kangxi.
"Why did I give birth to such things that are not as good as pigs and dogs! Tiger poison does not eat children, in the eyes of my ministers, I am afraid that I will really become the lord of the scumber?" Kangxi was even more sad and angry under his anger, suppressed his heart, and slapped Li Dequan with a stack of yellow noodles in his hand, and only roughly turned it over one by one, and without looking closely, he put it down, and said coldly: "How many Yinyu, have you made silver?"
Li Dequan was smoking in his heart, but when he saw the question, he was shocked, his knees weakened, and he quickly knelt down: "Long live the lord, the ancestral rules, the internal servants are not allowed to make friends with the prince and foreign ministers, and the slaves are serving the emperor when they are young, how many heads do they dare to do such an outrageous thing?"
Kangxi squinted, faintly, and couldn't hear the joy and anger: "Don't tell the truth?"
Li Dequan dared to admit it, and said stiffly: "If you don't believe in the slave, just hand over the slave to the Prudent Criminal Division, and the slave will ......be wronged." ”
There was a "snap", and it was the fold that fell to the ground: "Come on, pass on the Shen Criminal Division." ”
Li Dequan knocked several times, and at this time he was already crying: "Long live the ......." ”
Kangxi only added to the annoyance when he heard this, frowned, pointed at Li Dequan, and instructed a few guards who came in with Yingsheng'er: "Send this slave directly to the worship room, so as to save trouble." Tell Xing Nian, just ask, no more truth, no matter if you die!"
Li Dequan listened to it with a hint of ice, and knew that there was no turning circle, and he didn't beg for mercy at this point, but he was afraid that a life would be given to him: "Long live the master, spare the slave, the slave doesn't dare......"
Kangxi buckled the face of Huang Aya, who was folded, and his eyes were burning: "Tell me to tell me, what did Brother Jiu reward you? The eldest brother saw me on the front foot, and the few people on the back foot handed me in, what are the insinuations in the words?!Are you not afraid that you will deliver it in time, and the little life will also be sent in time?!"
Li Dequan raised his head tremblingly: "Back to the master's words, Brother Jiu...... rewarded a small village in the slave's house, long live the master, he just asked the slave to put a few folds in his head, and didn't say anything else to the slave......" only halfway through, he said mournfully: "The slave is guilty of death, please watch the slave serve in the past, spare the slave......"
"Nothing else?"
"No, the slave does not dare to deceive the master. Li Dequan shook his head vigorously.
"Drag it out. ”
"Master!" The three words coldly, the bluffing Li Dequan's hands and feet were cold, and he climbed a few steps forward, and he was even more mournful.
"......" Seeing that Kangxi was indifferent, the two guards set up Li Dequan left and right and were about to drag him out, Li Dequan had served in front of the palace for a long time, and it was common for eunuchs who committed crimes to be killed under the cane, and several chief eunuchs in front of the abolished prince were also familiar with each other, and they were shocked when they read it. Kangxi's temperament he knows best, the rules of the palace, which can be broken and which can't, not to mention that he has to do it now, he was so frightened for a while that his face was as straight as ashes, and there was no trace of human color: "The slaves all said ......", Kangxi waved his hand, the guards let go and retreated from the door, Li Dequan just attached himself to the ground, trembling all over: "Brother Jiu asked the slaves to pay attention, long live who he sees every day, what rumors do he hear......
Kangxi was already angry, a little better, and became more and more annoyed when he heard this: "It's really good that you, the chief eunuch, are you!
Li Dequan was already in tears, and kowtowed again and again: "The slave is dead, but he doesn't dare to really betray the master to do this, the slave only picked up a little bit and said to Brother Jiu, the slave really doesn't dare to offend ......"
Kangxi's side calmed his anger a little: "In the past dynasties, there were some eunuchs who caused trouble, and this dynasty has established rules, and there is no forgiveness for making friends with ministers and workers to violate national politics." You and other eunuchs are lowly people, and they have to serve the palace and are not grateful, and now the first one has an accident around me, I ask you, who borrowed your dog guts?" ”
Li Dequan is now remorseful and can't regret it anymore, and he was shocked like a trembling sifting chaff, "The master spared the slave, the slave is the last resort, please ask the master to spare his life......" only then did he cry twice, and Kangxi Sen's cold gaze immediately choked back.
"After the duty, go to the worship room to get twenty boards, start Ming'er, and go to Jingshan to get grass. ”
Kangxi put down such a sentence, and didn't pay attention to it, staggered up on the chair and walked to the warm pavilion, suddenly galloping, and his body looked crooked, and he was about to stand unsteadily. Li Dequan picked up a life, it was a great luck, and when he was about to kowtow again to thank him, he had a sharp eye and shouted, "Master beware!" immediately stepped forward to help him steady, "The master rewards the slave and serves again, and the slave goes to Jingshan to serve in the future, and it will be difficult to see the master again." He sobbed lowly, and he didn't dare to ask Kangxi to listen carefully.
Kangxi accepted his support, dizziness was slightly better, moved to the couch in the middle and sat down, dipped the pen in the cinnabar circle, and from time to time left some nail marks on the fold. The Dongnuan Pavilion was quiet for a long time, Kangxi stared at the fold on one wall, and habitually reached out to reach for the bowl on the other wall, and after drinking two sips, he felt more comfortable, and when he looked up, he saw Li Dequan standing behind him: "Huh, when did you hand it in?"
Li Dequan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave should die." Kangxi glanced at the jade bowl in his hand: "Knowing your master's temperament is really your strengths as a minion." Li Dequan got up and removed the bowl, handed over a hot hand towel, and knelt beside him with his steps back, looking at Kangxi, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Kangxi felt a little ironing in his heart, looking at his appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "Get up, who is this miserable look for?" Li De was still in tears, kowtowed and got up: "The slave is trained by the master when he is young, but the slave has made a mistake...... Thinking that Ming'er won't be able to serve by the master's side, my heart is not in decline......"
Kangxi took the handkerchief and covered his sore left arm, wiped it casually, and threw it to Li Dequan: "Do you know what kind of crime you have?" Li Dequan held the handkerchief and whispered: "The slave is guilty of a capital crime." Kangxi raised his eyes and looked: "I see, you are pampered and arrogant! After thinking about it, he turned around and asked, "Brother found you, do you have another backer?"
Li Dequan's heart jumped, he was so frightened that his handkerchief almost fell to the ground, and he quickly knelt down: "Master, where do the slaves dare to think like this." Peeked at Kangxi's face and was careful with his words: "If you say that the slave is pampered and arrogant, the slave does have ...... At present, the eighth elder brother is in charge of the errand of the internal affairs office, and he is the main manager of the slave, and the ninth elder brother has a life, if the slave does not respond in vain, the slave will lose his ministry in a blink of an eye......"
When Kangxi heard this verse, his face turned dark, and he couldn't help but turn cold: "You remember, I am the only one who determines your life and death." Be careful on errands, the eighth elder brother can't move your head even if he has the ability to reach the sky, and the general truth, if you don't keep your duty, he can't protect you. Li Dequan is so clever, and he is used to figuring out Kangxi's intentions, estimating the meaning of his master, he went to the brim of his hat, and his forehead banged on the gold bricks: "It's the slave who is not in trouble, and the slave is ...... to death."
Kangxi looked at the person kneeling in front of his feet, and stopped: "Okay, for the sake of you serving me for so many years, this time you have been spared the mission of Shangjingshan." The board is still rewarded to you, and it also teaches you to have a good long memory. Li Dequan had a burst of joy in his eyes with tears, how dare he reveal it again, and he already cried when he spoke: "The master treats the slave kindly, and the slave will not be able to repay him even if he is a cow or a horse in the next life." ”
While listening, Kangxi finished cooking a share of the thank you excerpt from Shao Mubu, the governor of Jiangnan, and waved his hand and ordered him to step aside. Thinking about the matter of the eldest brother, he wrote an edict and instructed as usual: "You go, send the advisor over." ”
Li Dequan didn't dare to slack off, and ran out in response, Kangxi looked at this edict of Sona again and again, and couldn't help but stagnate in his chest, although there was anger in his eyes, but faintly, he still showed a little pain.
