mistook Wang Kai for a money fan, shook his head and sighed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly wake up and express your heart, and it is reasonable to explain it.

What Xuan Ye said should be kept in mind and this secret should not be divulged.

The three treasures have been gathered, just waiting to leave the palace tomorrow.

"Brother Wang Kai, I thought you were different from those courtiers who only cared about immediate interests, I really didn't expect that you were such a greedy person. I only saw that what I gave you was a box of golden silk nanmu, are you indifferent to the contents of this box?

"I can tell you, the contents of this box are a treasure that is more valuable than the golden silk nanmu, it can be said to be a rare treasure, even if you take dozens or hundreds of such golden silk nanmu boxes, you can't exchange them. ”

Xuan Ye, who was sitting on pins and needles, saw Wang Kai sitting opposite him, and his eyes looked at the golden silk nanmu box placed in front of him burst out with greedy light, and he was angry that he didn't fight anywhere, and immediately stretched out the finger of his left hand, pointed at Wang Kai's nose, forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and said seriously.

Seeing Xuan Ye's angry look, Wang Kai realized that he had deliberately disguised himself as greedy for money just now, and it was the donkey's head that did not match the horse's mouth.

He originally thought that the treasure given to him by Xuan Ye was a finely carved golden silk nanmu box when he opened it, and mistakenly thought that this was the so-called "treasure" given to him by Xuan Ye, so he didn't open the box but showed that he couldn't put it down for this golden silk nanmu box.

And at this moment, after Wang Kai heard Xuan Ye's angry words, he realized that the "treasure" that Xuan Ye said he wanted to give him was not this golden silk nanmu box, but the things contained in this box, which suddenly made him panic.

Fortunately, Wang Kai's head was bright, and he was in a hurry, so he immediately made a look of sudden realization, explained with some embarrassment, and said: "Oh, Brother Xuanye, you misunderstood me." In fact, what I think in my heart is that the box outside is a priceless box carved from golden silk nanmu, and I just want to play a few more times, so the things contained in this box are even more valuable, which can be compared with the box of golden silk nanmu.

"I'm not going to hide it, Brother Xuan Ye, it's the first time I've seen a box made of golden silk nanmu since I was a child, so I thought about taking a few more looks. As for the more valuable treasures contained in this box, I want to wait a little longer to see them, for fear that the rare treasures in this box will surprise me, a person who has never seen much of the world.

"Brother Xuanye, you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, if my state in front of you is too abnormal, it will disturb you, don't I not only lose my face, but also afraid of being looked down upon by Brother Xuanye. That's the way it is, and I ask Brother Xuan Ye to calm his anger. ”

After listening to Wang Kai's cheeky explanation of the first words, Xuan Ye, who was still a little displeased, sighed lightly, waved his hand at Wang Kai, and signaled that the matter would stop at the end of the matter, and he would no longer be angry about this matter.

After seeing Xuan Ye's face improving when he was sitting opposite him, Wang Kai stretched out his hands boldly with confidence, and opened the box of golden silk nanmu placed in front of him, and after lifting the lid of the box, suddenly, a two-foot-long musket in the box appeared in front of him, which made him immediately dumbfounded, and his cheeks were full of surprise, and he was dumbfounded.

"Xuan, Brother Xuanye, this, this is you, before you left the South Study, Xiang, the foreigner that you mentioned to me, the musket that the foreigner gave you?" Wang Kai, who saw that both eyes were about to fall off, immediately took his eyes off the musket, raised his head, and faced Xuan Ye, who was sitting opposite him, and stammered in an incredulous tone to ask for verification.

"Just now, I saw your kid looking at this golden silk nanmu box so intrigued, I thought you kid was a greedy guy. I just listened to your explanation, and now, seeing you again, I recognize the contents of my box at a glance, and without waiting for me to introduce you, I called out the name of this musket at once by means of reasoning. From this point of view, I really didn't misread the wrong person, you kid is really a talent.

"You guessed right, this is a musket given to me by a foreigner a few days ago, and in the mezzanine under the musket in this box, there are also a hundred rounds of ammunition and a clairvoyant mirror given by foreigners. This golden silk nanmu box was not given by a foreigner, but I asked the craftsman of the carpentry workshop of the palace to make it for three days and three nights to compare this musket.

"Now, since I promised to give you a musket to assassinate the old thief, and seeing that you boy is so knowledgeable, I will give it to you. Xuan Ye, whose face improved, couldn't help but laugh a little after seeing Wang Kai, who was sitting opposite him, with a surprised expression, and said this to him with a pleasant face.

Immediately afterwards, after hesitating for a moment, Xuan Ye reluctantly untied the gold medal he was wearing from his waist and put it on the round imperial table in front of him, and after slightly bowing his head, he pursed his mouth, closed his eyes, and reached out to push the gold medal in front of Wang Kai opposite.

Xuan Ye, who suddenly stood up from the brocade stool, carried his hands behind his back in front of Wang Kai, and after walking back and forth twice, he suddenly stopped in front of Wang Kai, faced him, and said thoughtfully: "Musket, you have it too." This is the gold medal I have worn with me since I ascended the throne 12 years ago, and I have given it to you. From now on, as long as you hold this gold medal, you can freely enter and exit the palace and outside the palace, and no one dares to stop it with trusses.

"In addition, all my courtiers of the Qing Dynasty will bow three times and bow nine times when they see this gold medal as if they had seen me as an emperor, and they will be courteous to you. In an emergency, if you take out this gold medal, you can also report your safety, from the princes and ministers to the people, no one will dare to touch a finger of you.

"After tonight, there will only be two days and two nights left, and you will have a good time tomorrow morning, and when Suo Etu arrives, you will hand over to him the matter of training the twenty teenagers in the south study and then leave the palace.

"After leaving the noon gate of the Imperial Palace, and traveling about ten miles to the east, you will see a Gyeonggi post station, which is called the Kingdom of Great Britain that came to pay tribute a few days ago, and the other is called Lanxi, where the envoys of these two countries still live, and they have not yet left for their homeland, waiting for me to reply to them about the opening of a treaty port on our southeast coast.

"It just so happens that you take this gold medal that I have given you as my plenipotentiary to negotiate and dialogue with them in private, and you have dragged them in this matter first, and you have first made a request, so that you and those who can use muskets among them can learn how to use muskets for two days, and learn how to use muskets in detail.

"Wait until the night after tomorrow to discuss the final assassination plan in your south study. Brother Wang Kai, what I said above, God knows that you know and I know, and you must not let a third person know.

"Once this matter leaks out, your brother's throne will be in jeopardy. And brother, I'm afraid that there will be a disaster of death because of this. You must swear to heaven that not a single word of my words will be leaked. ”

After listening to Xuan Ye's words to him seriously, Wang Kai, who was sitting on the brocade stool, immediately raised his left hand without thinking, swore by the sky with his index finger and middle finger, and said loudly: "I, Wang Kai, swear to the sky, every word in the words of my brother Xuanye just now, if it leaks out of my mouth, my Wang Kai will die and have no place to be buried." ”

As soon as Wang Kai's words fell, Xuan Ye, who was standing in front of him, immediately nodded at him with satisfaction.

And after Wang Kai swore to the sky, somehow, after he stopped talking a few more times, he finally couldn't hold back some words in his heart, facing Xuan Ye who was standing in front of him, and said in a tentative tone: "Brother Xuan Ye, I heard the country of the two foreigners you just talked about, and the name of the country doesn't seem to be very complete.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two countries should be from Europa, one country is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the other country is called France, I don't know Brother Xuanye, am I right?"

Xuan Ye, who was standing in front of Wang Kai, was shocked by him when he blurted out the names of the two countries that he had not said completely, especially the first very long and very difficult to remember country name, very easily, and suddenly Xuan Ye was shocked by this and felt very unbelievable.

With a look of surprise on his face, Xuan Ye stared at Wang Kai intently, and under the shock, he asked in confusion: "Brother Wang Kai, you, how do you know the names of these two countries? You, where did you hear that?"

Originally, Wang Kai was just out of curiosity to correct Xuan Ye for not saying the full names of the two countries, Britain and France.

However, what he never expected was that his unintentional words immediately attracted Xuan Ye's great attention, and he asked him about it, and immediately, he let him "chuckle" in his heart, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer, and his palms couldn't help pinching a cold sweat for himself.

Under the brain's telling, Wang Kai just thought about it and blinked his eyes, and then came up with a lie, and said without blushing and heartbeat: "Oh, Brother Xuanye, this is how things are." I, too, a few days ago, was transferred to the Qianqing Palace by the celebrant to work as an errand boy, and outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, I inadvertently heard a few ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee mentioning these two Western countries.

"My memory is better than others when I am young, Brother Xuanye, when you mentioned the names of these two Western countries, I immediately remembered it. If there is anything inappropriate for me to say, please bear with me, Brother Xuanye. ”

After listening to Wang Kai's sincere and fearful words, Xuan Ye believed it. The look on his cheeks changed from surprise to joy all of a sudden, and he nodded slightly at Wang Kai.

"Good, good. Brother Wang Kai, it seems that my unintentional move this time has made it seem that you have found the right person in your negotiations with the envoys of those two countries. Okay, after you get rid of the old thief, you will officially take over this matter of negotiating with them, looking at the entire court, there is no more suitable candidate for your brother Wang Kai.

"Well, it's late at night, so you should rest early. I'm going to rush back and review it. After thinking about it for a while, Xuan Ye first praised Wang Kai, appointed him a "foreign minister" job, and got up to say goodbye.

After sending Xuan Ye away, Wang Kai tied the door of the south study from the inside, leaned his back against the door of the south study, breathed a long sigh of relief, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat that came out of his forehead, and sighed in his heart: Fang Cai is really dangerous, fortunately his head is smart enough and his reaction is fast enough, otherwise, if I can't answer the question raised by the young Emperor Kangxi, then I will die tonight. Misfortune comes from the mouth, 'died in front of him, this is really 'die before leaving the school'.

After calming down, Wang Kai walked back to the bedroom inside, tied the brocade rope of the imperial gold medal that Xuan Ye put on the round table to his waist, and put the box of golden silk nanmu next to the pillow on his bed, took off the eunuch official clothes he was wearing outside, got into the quilt, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with a few smiles on the corners of his mouth.
