Chapter 111: Jade Concubine
"Village chief, you don't have to excuse yourself, they deserve it.
In addition, you can keep the meat of this tiger at home and eat it, or sell it in the county. All I have to do is take the tiger skin away.
However, I heard that the tiger bone pharmacy will accept it, and the price is not at the bottom, so you can take the tiger bone to the pharmacy and sell it, so that you can sell it for more silver and come back to ask for a doctor for the injured people in the village. ”
Hearing Liu Yu say that he would use the money from selling tigers to treat the people in the village, the village chief couldn't refuse, and said to Liu Yu in a choked voice: "Thank you so much, my lord."
The adults are the reborn parents of our Juyi Village, and I must be telling the villagers about this, so that the villagers can set up immortal tablets for the adults, and three pillars of incense will be offered a day. ”
Liu Yu hurriedly refused and said: "The village chief doesn't need to be so polite, I was also ordered to come, if you want to thank the emperor, thank the emperor." ”
"The emperor is sage, the emperor's grace is mighty!" he said, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the capital.
Liu Yu shook his head, and after the village chief finished kowtowing, he helped him up. The old village chief went out to find someone to skin the tiger.
Since it took a few days to sheath the tiger skin, Liu Yu stayed at the village chief's house. Wait for the tiger skin sheath to heal before leaving.
In the meantime, the two officials of the county government came again, and saw that Liu Yu had killed the two tigers and came back intact.
I was very surprised and admired: sure enough, it was a master sent by the emperor, and one person could easily kill two tigers.
The two also bought a lot of tiger meat to bring back to the county magistrate, and they could also keep some to try. The village chief took the money and happily came over to report to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu told the village chief: We must use the money from the sale of tigers on these wounded people and try our best to treat these wounded.
The village chief assured Liu Yu: "Please rest assured, you must go to the county seat as soon as possible to sell the tiger, and ask a doctor to come back for them to treat their injuries." ”
"Good!"
Sure enough, the next day, the village chief asked the tiger to be packed in bags and put on ox carts and taken to the county seat to be sold. He didn't return to the village until dark.
The first thing he did when he came back was that he ran to Liu Yu excitedly and said, "My lord, the tiger's meat and bones have been sold for a total of two hundred taels, two hundred taels! I used the money to invite a doctor from the town to the villagers to come back and see a doctor in the village." ”
"Okay, doctor, please come back. These two hundred taels seem like a lot, but it also costs a lot of silver to catch the medicine later, so it can't be used indiscriminately.
Unless all the wounded in the village are healed, and there is still money left, it can be used for other purposes. Liu Yu reminded the village chief.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, this silver will definitely be used on every injured villager. The village chief assured Liu Yu.
After another three days, the tiger skin sheath was ready, and Liu Yu took the two tiger skins and left Juyi Village.
I went to the county government in Yiju to find the county magistrate and said, "Pay more attention to Xia Juyi Village, they have a lot of wounded there."
Every ten days and a half months, you take a doctor with good medical skills to Juyi Village to have a look, and ask the doctor to re-examine everyone, so that the villagers will not be deceived. ”
"Yes, the lower officials will do it. The prefectural order was full of promises.
After Liu Yu confessed, he left with two tiger skins on his back. When she returned to Beijing, Liu Yu was still riding a horse, but she put all the things she wanted to bring into the space.
Liu Yu's task was completed very smoothly, and it took more than half a month from the time she left Beijing to the time she returned to Beijing.
The first thing after returning to Beijing, Liu Yu beat her to the tiger skin and presented it to Kangxi, but Kangxi didn't say anything, and let Liu Yu go down after accepting the tiger skin.
Before leaving, Kangxi asked Liu Yu to continue to come back to be a guard for him, and there was no need to go to the guard house again.
Since then, Liu Yu has resumed the work of the emperor's personal guard in front of him, as before.
And Li Hengyao, who was sent to Moxi by Kangxi, was not so comfortable, and he was sent by Zhou Peigong to Kamcha terrain to prepare for the preparation of the map of the Qing Dynasty.
The reason why Zhou Peigong sent Li Hengyao to Kamcha terrain and measure the scale was because he received a letter from the capital.
When Zhou Peigong received the letter, it was actually written by the emperor, and the letter instructed him: Because Li Hengyao committed the crime of defrauding the king, but because he had made meritorious contributions in investigating the theft of disaster relief silver, he was punished to stay in the hardest place in Moxi for three or five years.
Therefore, Zhou Peigong transferred Li Hengyao to measure the area from Moxi to Mobei.
Li Hengyao knew that he had annoyed the emperor, and it was much better to be transferred to the most difficult place than to be sent to exile. Therefore, Li Hengyao willingly brought dry food and went with his companions to measure the land in Moxi.
Liu Yu didn't know that Li Hengyao had left Beijing, and after she came out of the palace, she went to Li Mansion to find Li Hengyao, but the porter told her: The adult is not in the capital, and she went to Moxi to quell the rebellion. It's been more than half a month.
At this time, Liu Yu knew that the emperor not only punished her alone, but Li Hengyao was also punished.
After a while, Liu Yu thought about it again, and after the emperor's punishment, he should not be punished again. Thinking like this, Liu Yu regained his spirits.
After that, Liu Yu was on duty in the palace with peace of mind, and when Li Hengyao came back to propose to her, she would no longer have to enter the palace as a guard.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as she thought. One day, Liu Yu was on duty outside the imperial study, and the emperor came to the imperial study as usual.
When he saw Liu Yu at the door, he asked Liu Yu to follow him into the imperial study, and let the eunuchs and palace maids all wait outside. Everyone was strange, but no one dared to say anything.
Liu Yu too, the emperor asked her to enter the imperial study, and she followed in. After Kangxi entered Liu Yu's study, he waved his hand to the eunuchs at the door, and the big eunuch immediately signaled the eunuch guarding the door next to him to close the door.
After Liu Yu came in, he saluted Kangxi, Kangxi turned around and immediately helped Liu Yu who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up quickly." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yu took a step back and said when Kangxi stretched out his hand to help her.
Kangxi put down his free hand and said to Liu Yu with a smile: "I have good news for you, do you want to listen to Liu's guards?"
Good news? Could it be that the emperor wants to recruit Li Hengyao back to Beijing? If the emperor recruits Li Hengyao back from Moxi, it will indeed be good news. Liu Yu thought to herself.
"What's the good news?" asked Liu Yu, pretending to be surprised.
Kangxi was obviously in a good mood, and said to Liu Yu with a smile: "Before, you assassinated Wu Sangui and made a great contribution, and then you went to Yizhou to kill the evil tiger for meritorious service, and I didn't reward you."
It's not that I don't want to reward you, it's that I don't know how to reward you. Now that I think of what I want to reward you, I have decided to make you a jade concubine, and I will give you a place when you become pregnant.
If you successfully give birth to a dragon child, I will directly promote you to the position of concubine. ”
After Kangxi finished speaking, waited, Liu Yu kowtowed and thanked him! He thought that this was the biggest reward for Liu Yu. What Han concubine can enter the palace as a concubine? He has already given Liu Yu the highest reward.
This is a method that Kangxi thought about for a long time, and only in this way can Liu Yu really protect him.
And Liu Yu heard that the emperor wanted to make her a concubine, but it was a bolt from the sky. At this time, Liu Yu didn't care whether he was resisting the decree or not, and directly refused: "I don't agree, I am Li Hengyao's fiancée, and it is impossible to enter the palace as a concubine." ”
"You and Li Hengyao are not engaged yet, and they do not belong to his fiancée. Besides, all the women in the world are mine, you don't have the right to refuse me, I have to enter the palace if you let you enter the palace. Kangxi said angrily with his eyes widened.
