Chapter 195: Wind and Thunder (2)

Kangxi looked at Chen Pengnian coldly, and didn't make a sound, and even everyone in the room didn't dare to make a sound. Reading a book//**Ah Shan was still kneeling, Yinzhen and Yinxiang looked at each other, their eyes full of puzzlement. Gao Shiqi only looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, and he hung his head and stood solemnly. Cao Yin and Chen Pengnian used to serve in Jiangning together, although there was a little discord due to official duties, but they knew that Chen Pengnian was careful in his daily affairs, and he was very suspicious in his heart. Zhang Ying heard that Chen Pengnian was famous, and now that he saw his situation, he was worried, only the prince was alone, frowning slightly, as if he had something in his heart.

After a long time, Kangxi suppressed his anger and said, "Raise your head and look at the dragon couch you prepared for me." I gave Ah Shan the opportunity to explain, the word justice, I will also give it to you, save the general, and say that I have bent you Chen Pengnian!" Chen Pengnian reluctantly raised his head and looked at it, only to see that there was indeed a sinuous stain on the couch in front of him, like a trace of an earthworm crawling, and his face turned pale at the moment. This is the palace, and the traces of snakes, insects, rats and ants have been eliminated with medicine early. And there has been no rain in Texas recently, where did the earthworms come from, and they happened to climb over the dragon couch? Moreover, it was clear that he had made a special inspection before the car, so why did he have such a thing at this time? There were many suspicions, but he had no clue. However, Chen Pengnian was a little bookish in the end, and he knocked three times before he argued: "Minister, this, how can this be, it will never be...... Hey, Your Majesty, the minister personally inspected it early this morning, and the items used on it were all neat and complete, obviously ......" raised his head to meet Kangxi's sharp gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Caidao, and his voice was inaudible, "...... Not at all. ”

As soon as Chen Pengnian's words came out, Zhang Ying sighed in his heart: "I'm afraid it's going to be bad." Reading the book // According to the emperor's temperament, if he admits his mistake on this, maybe he can turn around one or two, but now I'm afraid... Sure enough, Kangxi hurriedly walked around the room twice, snorted coldly, and said, "Well, yes, yes! According to what you said, I'm afraid that someone is framing you? Who is it? Is it Ah Shan, or is it a bow?!"

Seeing Kangxi as Chen Pengnian, everyone didn't dare to stand anymore, and they all knelt down in their robes and gowns, and said: "(Son) ministers and others please ask the emperor to calm his anger." When Chen Pengnian heard the emperor's question, he was only shocked in his heart, and he touched the ground with his forehead, with a little sadness: "Minister, minister don't dare." Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention. After a moment's pause, he was still unwilling to be guilty of this, leaned on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "However, Weichen really doesn't know where the stain came from, and he asks the emperor to learn from it." After speaking, he fell to the ground, let out a mournful voice, and could no longer speak.

The tighter the corners of Kangxi's lips are pursed, this is a sign that the wind and rain are coming. At this moment, the prince suddenly took a step forward, slowly spoke, and said: "Huang Ama, Chen Pengnian is known for his loyalty and integrity, Rao is errand to take over has some omissions, and he can be regarded as a usable minister, and he also invites Huang Ama..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kangxi with a sneer, and said: "Loyalty, is he Chen Pengnian, a loyal minister?" The mean chill in the words was that Cao Yin didn't feel that he secretly fought a cold war. The prince didn't seem to feel it, and only said as usual: "Yes, Chen Pengnian can only make a straightforward admonition, which shows that he is loyal and upright." ”

When Gao Shiqi heard this, although his head was still hanging, his eyes flashed. The prince's words seemed to be admonishing, and he was afraid that he would ruin Chen Pengnian's good life. The prince's words seem to be unremarkable, and every word is interceding for Chen Pengnian, but it really puts Chen Pengnian in the realm of his life. Gao Shiqi has been with Wang for decades, and he knows Kangxi's character best. Chen Pengnian had committed Kangxi's taboo before the direct admonition, Ah Shan was a Manchu minister, and he was trained by Kangxi, and he also had the name of a capable minister in the court. Chen Pengnian alluded to Ah Shan with the matter of people's livelihood in front of Kangxi, which was not wise, and was refuted by Ah Shan's few words, I am afraid that everyone thinks that Ah Shan has been greatly wronged, and not to mention, whether it is a tax increase or a fire consumption, in order to welcome the holy driver, everyone knows this. There is no root cause in the beginning, just look at how many people are used on the top of the car, this kind of thing, Kangxi may not be unaware of it, if it is indeed what Ahsan said, most of the river workers are filled, it is a great achievement. Is it because of this matter, isn't it a slap in the face of Kangxi himself? and then connect it with the stains afterward, I am afraid that Kangxi will be even more suspicious of Chen Pengnian's intentions, this word of loyalty and integrity, I am afraid that the prince has made a good article.

As Gao Shiqi expected, Kangxi slapped his palm on the high table next to him, and scolded the prince sharply: "You are stupid! What is loyalty? Hmm? He Chen Pengnian is selling straight in order to seek a loyal name!" It can be seen that Kangxi was thunderous at this time, and his tone became more and more mean: "Governor Chen is the lord here, and I am just an uninvited guest." In front of him, he took advantage of the people's livelihood to make a big statement, he was really smart, he knew that I was a good minister, I am afraid that he would make up his mind at that time to be my 'Wei Zheng', and dreamed of going to Qingyun one step at a time. It's a pity that he miscalculated. Ah Shan," Kangxi pointed at Ah Shan with his finger and said, "You get up, for the sake of your master, you don't have to suffer from this villain's slander!" Ah Shan looked at everyone, and he was also moved, and grabbed the ground with his head: "The sentence that a slave can get a master is worth it even if he dies at this moment." But he refused to get up. Kangxi was not reluctant, and only gently patted Ah Shan's shoulder.

Turning to Chen Pengnian again, he was already trembling from crying at this time. Kangxi suddenly felt disgusted, and pointed to the stains on the couch and said to him: "If you can't do it, I'm afraid that you're using this to make another twisted admonition, but right? You just called a minister, and now in front of all your ministers, you are about to cry out of the sky, do you want to make the lord of the clumsy man embarrassed by me! ”

When he looked at the prince again, the prince was full of shame, and he apologized and said: "The sons and daughters are not clear, and the emperor Ama has taught him." The sons are indeed ill-conceived. Kangxi didn't answer, only glanced at the prince, although there was a sense of reproach, but he no longer reprimanded, and then raised his hand to let everyone get up, and when everyone was undecided, he sent the guards to come in, and Chen Pengnian was detained in the Dezhou Mansion for the crime of 'great disrespect', and looked at Cao Yin and Zhang Ying looked at each other.

Seeing this, Yinzhen always felt that something seemed wrong, but it was difficult to figure it out. He naturally knew the meaning of the prince's words, but he didn't understand why the prince didn't deal with a mere prefect. Yinxiang saw that Chen Pengnian was set up by the guards, and he couldn't bear it, and wanted to open his mouth to intercede for Chen Pengnian, but was stopped by Yinzhen with his eyes.

Gao Shiqi is no longer an official, so he was arranged by Ahsan to live with Zhang Ying in two three-entry mansions outside the line. That night, a person wearing a green coat and a small coat waited in front of Gao Shiqi's door, and after handing the name card in, in less than a moment, someone introduced it into the courtyard.
