Chapter 271: The Dust Settles (14)
In the past few days, the sky has been as hot as evil, and the chirping of cicadas has also risen in all directions, disturbing people's tightness. Kangxi is getting older, sleepy and short, and he must have a little rest in the afternoon, but this cicada disturbs Kangxi's restlessness, and he can't rest for two days in a row, and he has a burst of heart palpitations while sitting, and Su Hexiang used a small bottle.
Knowing that Kangxi was impatient with the cicadas, the eunuchs at the sticky pole were busy sticking cicadas on the tips of the branches under the scorching sun, but they couldn't take care of this end, not that side. God knows where so many insects came from at this time of year. The consultant was so anxious that he was about to sweat a little, and lowered his voice to teach the eunuch in charge of the sticky pole: "The master has just rested, and he hasn't cleaned up those Rausch things quickly? He just wiped a handful of sweat with his hand, but he didn't know what he saw, he glanced coldly at the side of the eunuch in charge, and said, "Gonggong Lin, your score is about to catch up with the masters, no wonder the errand is like this." "Throw off your face and leave. The eunuch in charge noticed that his apprentice next to him was really too attentive, and he was holding a white ice hand towel to his side, and even though his face was white, he kicked him on the crotch and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, what kind of eyesight, see if I don't beat you to death today!" The eunuch in charge was so frightened that his legs and stomach weakened, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and then the back of his neck and collar tightened, and he was picked up and held down and knelt on the ground. He has been in the palace for decades, how can he not know the rules, and now he has been punished for the crime of murder in front of the emperor, and the cane has become a happy death that he can't ask for. I couldn't hold it back anymore at the moment, and a stream of heat gushed out from between my crotch.
Deqing looked at his cowardly portrait, frowned in disgust, turned to Kangxi and said, "How to deal with it, please show the master." Kangxi also frowned, and commanded lightly: "The envoy of the Internal Affairs Office is becoming more and more unruly, and it will be handed over to Yinzhen to deal with." I'm bored, walk around the garden, evacuate some, others don't have to follow, you and the advisor are two to wait. Several guards dragged the steward eunuch down, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground.
The weather was hot and hot, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed to send ice basins to each courtyard, and Huidiji also sent a few. Since Yinxiang had a leg disease, he was a little afraid of the cold and did not avoid the heat, and he sat in the house, only to feel a faint pain in his knees, and got up and walked to the yard, so that the scorching sun roasted on his body, and Yinxiang had a trace of warmth. Looking out of the courtyard gate, Yinxiang hesitated for a moment and finally walked out.
Walking to Haopu and thinking, Yinxiang finally sweated a little on the forehead, so he sat down on the stone pier on the side for a while, took out a folding fan from the fan sleeve on his waist, and was about to fan to drive away the heat, his eyes inadvertently fell on the fan, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad. In previous years, with the hot river, Kangxi often wore Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinxiang wrote a fan for him to give to the ministers, Yinxiang's words are very Kangxi pen essence, often a write is dozens of fans, Kangxi is always smiling and groaning, and then reward himself with a fan of the royal pen, but now... , Yinxiang shook his head in disappointment.
His eyes turned away, and after a while, he fell on the couplets on both sides of the pavilion Kangxi's inscription: "Maolin is about to stop the water, and I want to support my body." Flying birds and fish are quiet, and it is difficult to be deep. After a little reading, Yinxiang knew that this poem was out of Zhuangzi, smacked the meaning of the period, smiled bitterly, and casually chanted a sentence "I will drag the tail in Tuzhong." ’
"Hmm, why don't you die to keep your bones, and drag your tail in Tuzhong?" Suddenly a question came from behind, which caught Yinxiang a little off guard, and listened to the meaning, which seemed to be a little uncertain. "Emperor, Emperor. Seeing the person behind him clearly, Yinxiang bent his knees, lowered his sleeves, and deeply asked Xia An. Kangxi looked at Yinxiang, whose cheeks were so thin that they almost sank, his heart softened a little for a moment, but then he was filled with inexplicable anger, sat on the stone pier, his tone was cold, and he said with some mockery: "When you deceive me, isn't it just the idea of keeping bones and valuable?" Studying the way of Lao Zhuang, your heart will be as calm as water, but according to me, your heart is too hot, I'm afraid that Xi will not achieve anything." Hearing this hadith, Yinxiang fell to the ground, only to feel that a heart immediately sank to the bottom, he tried his best not to tremble, lest he lose his honor in front of the king, his hands were stubbornly picked in the stone cracks of the aisle, and the green tendons burst out, as if the harder he picked, the colder he could reduce the cold in his heart. Because at that moment, he seemed to be in an ice cave, and he couldn't feel a trace of heat all over his body.
Halfway through, Yinxiang opened his mouth, his tone was flat, as if he had no trace of anger at all: "The retainers have received a lesson from the emperor." He struck his forehead on the ground, and after a moment, he saw a blue and red on his forehead. Under such circumstances, Kangxi felt that Yinxiang was fighting against himself with his temperament, and he was even more nameless fire, so he pointed at Yinxiang angrily, withdrew his hand, stood up, and said with cold words full of ridicule: "Could it be that you are blind and deaf." When did you not receive my lesson, and when did you remember it in your heart? Have you received a lesson? God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know! I don't want to tear your face in front of people, you should also save some dignity for yourself. Kangxi said, and his words were even more mean, "Don't point to the fourth elder brother to say things for you, you will become more and more delusional, this idea is no different from what the prince learned." I am the master of deception, the father of concealment?!"
"Huang Ama, my son doesn't!" Yinxiang almost roared, he knelt long, staring straight at Kangxi, not for a moment. At this Chenguang, he could no longer restrain himself, and in addition to being sad and angry, he just let the tears on his face flow down his cheeks, "My son may be an unfilial son and an unfaithful minister in the eyes of Huang Ama, but my son's heart can only be seen by God!" These words shouted by Yinxiang were like the sorrowful screams of injured prey during hunting, which not only shocked Kangxi's heart, but also shocked Deqing and the consultant. For a while, even the cicadas stopped chirping, and there was silence in all directions.
The consultant looked at Kangxi's face uneasily, his face was full of crampedness, and reminded in a low voice: "Thirteenth elder brother!" But Yinxiang didn't seem to hear it, just looked at Kangxi, and the things in his eyes made Kangxi's heart suddenly tingle. He looked at his son, who was kneeling straight in front of him, moved to Yinxiang's knees, sighed softly, and said sideways to Deqing: "Go and help the thirteenth elder brother up, he is not happy in his legs, send him back to rest." The body turned back, and commanded, but his eyes were a little avoidant of Yinxiang, who was staggering and getting up, and said: "I know that you have recited the Buddha with Yinzhen, if Ming'er is cheap, I will recite a great compassion Dharani Sutra for Wen Ke." After that, Kangxi's originally straight waist seemed to be a little rickety, and the consultant hurriedly supported him, calming down, Kangxi said lightly: "I'm a little tired, go back." Yinxiang was full of pain in his heart, and when he looked up, in the eyes that were difficult to give up and full of sorrow, there was only the back of Kangxi who bowed slightly, and under the sun, which was already slanting westward, only the lonely heart of the father and son of the heavenly family was left.
