"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are ...... to laugh and talk about"

……

On the Yangtze River, a big ship is swimming upstream.

On the foredeck of the ship, there was a small table, and a person was sitting next to the table, holding a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" reading. While watching, the person was still tapping his fingers on the table with the paddle, as if he had blended in.

"Dashuai is really interested!"

The people at the table were reading a book, and after hearing this, they didn't look back, but replied with a smile: "Lord Ling said that he was laughing, but in fact, he didn't have any interest, but it was just a rare leisure, occasionally looking for two books to look at, and chatting for entertainment!" ”

"Hehe, handsome, pastime, in fact, you can do it at any time, but don't you think you want to have fun now, and it's not the right time?" "Lord Ling" also sat down at this small table, looking at the "handsome" with a smile!

"Isn't it time? Lord Ling, what you said is not right. Actually, now, it's time for recreation! The reader looked up, revealing a slightly darkened, square face. The eyes on his face are very bright, a thick mustache on his lips, and three short whiskers under his chin, which is very energetic. In the hand holding the book, the bones are thick, and the green tendons are protruding, which looks powerful and powerful. This person was smiling at that Lord Ling, and his faint smile gave people a very warm feeling.

"Oh? Just in time? Ling is foolish, please give me advice! "Lord Ling" said with his hand arched.

"Hehe, actually, there's nothing to say. Although the emperor asked Wei to go to Anqing to announce the decree, Wei still understood what his old man meant. Actually, the emperor didn't want Wei to rush there in a hurry. So, let's still take a boat, not only is the speed not very fast, but also comfortable, and we can also browse the scenery. The book reader, Wei Dongting, the governor of the customs of the four provinces, replied with a smile to the prince's close minister, Ling Pu.

"It turns out that the emperor still has this thought. It seems that the handsome man is still intimate with the emperor, and only the handsome can understand the emperor's mind! Ling Pu said to Wei Dongting with envy.

Master Ling laughed. Is the will of God within the reach of those of us who are slaves? Moreover, how dare we speculate on the emperor's thoughts? In fact, this time it was because of the emperor's indication that Wei dared to be so 'sluggish'! Wei Dongting replied.

"Hehe, that's what the big marshal said. The will of God cannot be fathomed! Ling Pu sighed, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup for Wei Dongting, and said, "It's just that there are many people who are figuring out the holy will now. These officials, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, can do everything......"

"Lord Ling's words seem to mean something else." Wei Dongting said.

"Hehe, I know that I can't hide it from the handsome! …… What Ling said is actually the object of your message this time, Ma De! After Ling Pu finished speaking, he couldn't help but stare at Wei Dongting's eyes and look at it, but he didn't see anything. Wei Dongting just "oh", laughed twice, then lowered his head and continued to read, without saying anything more.

……

"Master, there is a quarry in front of you, do you want to stop the boat?"

Ling Pu was pondering what Wei Dongting meant, and Wei Dongting's personal soldiers came over to report.

"Got to Quarry Rock? …… Well, stop the boat! It's a great place, so be sure to check it out! Lord Ling, do you want to get off the boat together and have a look? After Wei Dongting finished instructing his own soldiers, he asked Ling Pu again.

"Dashuai, this is just a cliff, what can be fun?" Ling Pu looked at the cliff on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and he was really not in the mood.

"Hehe, Lord Ling, you have lived in the north for a long time, I'm afraid you don't know the name of this quarrying rock, right? Tell you, this quarry rock is also called Niuzhu Rock, is this cliff standing on the south bank of the Yangtze River, strange and steep, since ancient times it has been a place for soldiers to fight. Moreover, according to legend, this is also the place where the great poet Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty jumped into the river to catch the moon, so there are many poems left by celebrities in the past dynasties. It's a big sight! Wei Dongting stood up with a smile, stretched his muscles, and prepared to get off the boat.

"Li Taibai jumped into the river to catch the moon? Hehe, then you have to take a look, maybe you can get a little bit of the fairy spirit of the 'poetry fairy'! Seeing Wei Dongting's interested, Ling Pu didn't dare to defeat the other party's interest, and wanted to follow the thoughts of this Governor of Wei, so he also stood up.

……

"Shuai, this can't be the only cliff here, right? Is there anything else to do besides this? When he got to the shore, Ling Pu asked Wei Dongting again.

"Haha, of course! Li Taibai jumped into the river here to catch the moon, and finally retired here, if there is no fun place here, where is it possible to keep him? …… As far as I know, there are Taibai Tower, Burning Rhino Pavilion, Catching Platform, and Sanyuan Cave on the Quarry Rock, which are all good places! Wei Dongting's interest was very high.

"So many places? Dashuai, you don't want to play all the way, do you? Ling Pu asked with an unnatural smile.

"Hehe, is there something wrong with Lord Ling?" Wei Dongting asked.

"No, no, Ling has plenty of time, so he should have a good time with the handsome!" Ling Pu laughed.

"Hehe, it's an honor for Wei to have Lord Ling come forward to accompany you!" Wei Dongting said with a smile.

"Where and where, the handsome man made fun of it!" Ling Pu waved his hand again and again, showing that he didn't dare to say so as Wei Dongting.

……

Wei Dongting ordered the boat to dock, and Ling Pu looked confused beside him.

The reason why he came to Wei Dongting was also for a reason.

Wei Dongting is not an idle person. His mother, Sun, is Kangxi's nurse, and he himself is Kangxi's foreman and guard. From the first year of Kangxi to the seventeenth year of Kangxi, the Beijing rebellion of Yang Qilong, the third prince of Zhu, and the many crises of Kangxi, it was this Wei Dongting who guarded the emperor's side day and night, never leaving an inch, born and died, and turned the emperor from danger to safety several times. Today, he has been made a marquis and the governor of the customs of the four provinces. He has everything about the three-eyed dazzle, the yellow coat, and the Shang Fang sword, and he also has the right to send it directly to Kangxi, and the power is so great that it scares people to death.

Moreover, Kangxi's favor to Wei Dongting and the Wei family does not stop there.

During Kangxi's southern tour, after seeing Wei's mother Sun in Nanjing, he personally stretched out his hand to support Sun in front of the civil and military officials who accompanied him, and said to these officials that Sun was "the old man of my family", and after that, he also changed a hall of the Wei family to "Xuanrui Hall", and gave the Wei family a plaque to show his favor. This is not over, after returning to Beijing, Kangxi still did not forget the Wei family, and gave his palace in Nanjing to the Wei family.

Such a favor has never been encountered by any minister, and even among Kangxi's brothers and nephews, no one has such good luck.

Therefore, no one dares to be rude to Wei Dongting, Kangxi's cronies, even the crown prince Yinren, and he doesn't have the guts.

However, there is no such thing as perfection in the world!

Wei Dongting and the current Suzhou weaver Mu Zixu, and the Guangzhou general Wu Dan have a brotherhood, what about Mu Zixu? is Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin's brother-in-law again, that is to say, Cao Yin's wife is Mu Zixu's sister! The imperfection is here, although the Cao family is also Kangxi's cronies, but the Cao family is not as strict as the Wei family, and their relationship with the prince is very good.

Just like this time, Ling Pu left Anqing in a panic, and just after leaving Anhui, he received an order from his superiors to go to Jiangnan to raise funds for Prince Yinren. As a result, after he went to Nanjing to find Cao Yin, that Jiangning weaver took out 30,000 taels at once! …… That's not a small amount!

And at this time, Ling Pu got the news from the capital again, Kangxi asked Wei Dongting to come forward and send a message to Ma De!

So, for fear of being blamed by the crown prince Yinren for failing the mission, Ling Pu stuck to Wei Dongting, the governor of the customs of the four provinces.

Of course, his purpose was not to win over Wei Dongting. Because everyone knows that Wei Dongting will only be loyal to Kangxi, as long as Kangxi is still there, no one wants this person to show something. Therefore, his purpose was actually just to see what this Wei Dashuai, who had not dealt with much before, thought of the crown prince! At the same time, try your best to win Wei Dongting's favor for the crown prince! …… Kangxi is such a close confidant of Wei Dongting, as long as Wei is willing to say one or two good words, it is more effective than those civil and military officials in the capital who say a hundred and a thousand sentences. So, he followed Wei Dongting's boat!

However, up to now, Ling Pu only felt that Wei Dongting seemed to be a little dismissive of the crown prince, although he was still very respectful on the surface, and he would be called "Lord", but the actual performance was completely different from that of the Cao family. This made Ling Pu, who was the prince's grandmother, feel a little unhappy. However, despite this, Ling Pu still had to smile at Wei Dongting.

……

Quarry Rock was actually seen on the boat, Wei Dongting and Ling Pu had already gone ashore, so they naturally went to see the scenery on the shore.

And just as they stepped on the shore for a while, and had just walked a short distance, a painting boat suddenly appeared on the Yangtze River. The boat, like a fierce horse that had loosened its reins, rushed straight down from the upstream, frightened some of the boats that came and went up the river into haste to dodge, and the people on these boats shouted and screamed. However, all this only caused the people on the painting boat to laugh without any scruples.

Of course, Wei Dongting also saw the ship, and Ling Pu saw that his brows were furrowed very much, and he was about to ask, when he heard this Wei Dashuai snort coldly, and gave an order to his subordinates:

"Go, stop that boat for me!"
