The words were divided into two ends, and when the ten brothers were chatting with each other behind their backs, Xu Yuanmeng was also returning to Changchun Garden to pay the decree to Kangxi. () The emperor left the palace to stay in Tangquan for several months, at the beginning of the month he returned to Changchun Garden, since the queen mother died in the month of last year, Cangzhen Gate mourning, Kangxi suffered from a serious illness, foot disease is serious and can not walk, the mood is even worse, and because the queen mother Zigong is in the funeral, the congratulatory banquet has stopped, even this year's New Year's Day, Kangxi has not stepped into the palace again.

Xu Yuan dreamed that when he entered the Ning Residence, although the warm pavilion was lit with soothing incense, there was still a faint smell of herbs, and he could still detect that the emperor had taken the medicine, Kangxi was leaning crookedly on the big pillow in front of the kang, his face was thin and haggard, his complexion was gray, and his spirit looked very bad. He was one year older than Kangxi, and he was a young classmate and the old Hanlin shì, and later he was appointed to enter the study as the prince's teacher, and he received a lot of trust. It's just that he is a pedantic and straightforward person, and he really doesn't understand anything about politics, and he has not been convicted of court affairs, but because of his stubborn temperament, he has repeatedly contradicted him, and the emperor has repeatedly beaten Chu for decades. Xu Yuanmeng has not seen Kangxi for a long time, from the time when the emperor spared him from the guilt of the Internal Affairs Office, to send an errand to Zhejiang Fu, and then to return to Beijing to appoint the Ministry of Industry, as it is today, it is rare to call it alone, and it has rarely been in the past few years. As far as he is concerned, he only hopes that the holy bow in his heart is a heavenly and healthy appearance, how resolute he was in the past few years, how he knew the situation for a few years, the emperor worked so hard that he was so hard that he suddenly saw the situation in front of him, Xu Yuanmeng couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, how could he really not express his feelings freely in front of the emperor, so he had to endure the choking of his throat, and Yin Yin persuaded, "I still hope that the master's festival will mourn and work hard......".

Kangxi is old, every time he uses medicine, he feels sleepy, and this day is a time to rest with his eyes closed, this time he heard the movement, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Xu Yuanmeng, and this party remembered that he had a will to make him come, and then looked at him with a sad face, but smiled, raised his arm and pointed to the front of the kang, "I really don't have the strength to move, you are not a foreign minister, our monarch and minister just talk." Don't worry, I can't go to the emperor's grandmother and the queen mother for a while. When Xu Yuanmeng sat on the small pestle in a panic, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Kangxi with awe and concern, he said, "The master is deeply blessed, and he will be able to bear the blessing of heaven", Kangxi interrupted again, "In general, teaching people with different thoughts sounds very different. Thinking that in the past, I mourned for the queen mother, and I was even more sick, like such whitewashed and courteous empty words, and I don't know how many folds were sent in every day, and I didn't know how many people gathered to ask for peace, and I was really annoyed. Hmph, I don't know what these people are in mind, 'it is advisable to please save money and simplify the government', what kind of work is it that I should be festive, and what kind of government is Jane? If the ministers really have the intention of serving with a solid heart, then my sick body can be regarded as one or two kinds of care. ”

"Slave ......" Although the emperor's words did not have much strength, he said very slowly, but the words contained harsh meanings, even if he was not talking about him, Xu Yuanmeng only felt cramped at the moment, and he didn't dare to sit down anymore, so he got up and stood with his hands solemn, and was about to confess, but saw that Kangxi still waved his hand, "It was you who mentioned it, and I just pulled it to these idle articles, you don't have to follow the rules of the game, I still have to ask you something, sit." Yuan Meng sat down again, and Kangxi said again, "You just came back, just let you do this errand, it's also impossible, except for Zhao Shenqiao, there is really no suitable person for a while......" Referring to Zhao Shenqiao, Kangxi just snorted contemptuously, and then asked, "Do you have any words for the ministers?"

"Not really. Xu Yuanmeng also knew that the emperor obviously hated this person, and he didn't want to mention it anymore, so he just didn't see it, and he replied. It's just that he was a young man, and he also knew that Kangxi had a very deep temperament, just looking at him, he knew that the emperor was hesitant, and he didn't wait for Kangxi to ask, Xu Yuanmeng added, "The decree issued by the master at the end of last year, more than 50 years of diligent governance means how painstaking and lonely, the ministers and others have not yet been able to cooperate with Yin, and serve with sincerity, and the servants and others listen to the will, so that the master can deeply understand the hard work, shame and shamelessness, and the feelings are unbearable. ”

Xu Yuanmeng's remark was euphemistic, although Kangxi was comforted, but he still disdained, "There are always some treacherous people who deceive me and treat my subordinates with leniency, benevolence and indulgence, and they often make waves without knowing whether they are alive or dead. "Master......" The emperor's words moved his spirit, Xu Yuanmeng was also shocked when he heard it, he couldn't think of how to comfort him for a while, and the partial emperor handed over the difficult problem again, Kangxi sighed deeply, "I can't be fully blessed in this life, if I don't issue an edict in advance, I am only afraid that future generations may not be able to know my loneliness, and it is also a helpless move. You have also been the master of these elder brothers, can you tell me about their abilities?"

At the beginning of these words, Xu Yuanmeng was already kneeling from his seat, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Family affairs and state affairs, how dare a slave interfere." Since the master asks about the slave, the slave should be honest shìjun. The master has trained all the elder brothers over the years, one is to follow my old Manchurian customs, become a martial artist, and they are all pillars of the imperial court, and the other is to take the Han dynasty as a commandment, so as not to make the children of the clan a useless person who is pampered and treated. The master is well-trained, and all the elder brothers have their own strengths, but ...... Speaking of ten thousand deaths, you have to talk about competition......" Xu Yuanmeng swallowed the word 'storage position' and didn't dare to say it, and said, "Competing for power in the future, I'm afraid that even if you have your strengths, you can't be far-reaching." ”

"Hmm, why?" Kangxi asked lightly, until he was tired Xu Yuanmeng was even more uneasy, he secretly wiped the sweat hanging from his head, swallowed and foamed for a long time, and then avoided the straight and said, "Even if you can earn some prestige, how can you compare to the loyalty of the people in the backbone city of the country." I want to come to the second elder brother has everything, but he lacks the sacred heart of the master; the other elder brother has nothing, but if he is the future master of the minions, he must have won the sacred heart of the master. ”

"Then you mean that I abolished Yinren, is the source of the chaos from me?" Kangxi curled his fingers and gently knocked on the edge of the kang, as if talking to himself, as if asking him. "The slave doesn't dare-" Where can Xu Yuanmeng distinguish this, for a while, sweating through heavy clothes, frightened and frightened, only to kowtow, but saw Kangxi caressing the still painful right tuǐ, frowning and sighing, "I do have regrets, there is today's situation, half of it is in my bow, I shouldn't have set up this prince in the first place." Yin Jian was in front, the Han people sat in the world, and there were so many heir disputes, all because of the abolition of the heirs and the establishment of the young, which messed up the outline. Thinking about it, the princes feel that if the elder is abolished, then everyone will have a share in this throne, and there is no admiration and awe in their hearts, so they can have no father and no king, and they are not worried about their duties...... Hmph, they're right, it's common sense. ”

The emperor was very bitter and indignant in his heart, and his words were full of helplessness, and it was easy to see a crack in the words, Xu Yuanmeng hurriedly kowtowed, and apologized, "It's always a slave who is despicable in virtue, and he lived up to the expectations of his master that day, and it was not enough to assist his brother." "Yinren is self-inflicted, no one else, insulted you before his back was established, crazy and sick, it can be seen that he has half a point of virtue?" Kangxi couldn't bear to interrupt Xu Yuanmeng, seeing that he didn't understand what he meant at all, Kangxi looked at Xu Yuanmeng, who had white hair, shook his head, and didn't want to say anything, just said, "It's a good thing to learn some Han articles, but who knew that you read a book beetle, full of Han pedantic." But according to what you said, Ah Gewei is going to be taught by me personally, which is not bad—well, the fourteen-led general Wang led his troops to the expedition, and I want to give a big gift. Kangxi's gaze stopped on the top of the hall of the warm pavilion, and said silently, "If the sky is fake for ten years, then the outside and the inside can be done calmly, and it is not difficult to think about it." ”
