Chapter Twenty-Four: Time Rushes 1

When Lei Feng knew that Hai Dafu was dead, it was already the next day, and it was noon. Because he drank with Kangxi the night before, drank too much, and didn't find that Wei Xiaobao and Hai Dafu were not there when he came back, when he woke up at noon the next day, Hai Dafu's body had been cremated, Lei Feng felt uncomfortable for a while, although Hai Dafu was good to himself, he was a little wind, but he also let himself experience the beauty of father's love, Lei Feng was an orphan in his last life, and he was the only one at home.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Lei Feng was still sad after the death of Hai Gonggong, Lei Feng knew that Hai Dafu died in the hands of Wei Xiaobao. vowed to avenge the sea princess. Originally, he was an enemy of Wei Xiaobao only because of the tasks assigned by the system, and because of the jealousy of the otaku, he envied Wei Xiaobao's life of hugging left and right, but he still resisted and killed him, otherwise he would not intercede for Wei Xiaobao in front of Kangxi. Now Lei Feng began to resent him from his heart.

Wei Xiaobao got up the next day, his chest ached faintly, and he felt weak, he knew that he had slapped my husband last night, the old turtle beat me not to death, kicked me not badly, my Wei Xiaobao's martial arts are really amazing.

was smug when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Father-in-law Gui, great joy, great joy! Wei Xiaobao buttoned his clothes on one side, opened the door on the other, and asked, "What is the happy event?" There were four eunuchs standing outside the door, bowing to Wei Xiaobao and saying in unison: "Congratulations to Grandpa Gui." Wei Xiaobao knew: "It's early in the morning, why are you so polite?" A eunuch in his forties smiled and said: "Just now, the Queen Mother issued an edict to go to the Internal Affairs Office, because Haitian Fuhai's father-in-law died of illness, and the deputy chief eunuch of the imperial dining room was promoted by Gonggong Gui. Another eunuch smiled and said: "We didn't wait for the Minister of Internal Affairs to convey the decree, so we rushed to congratulate you, and in the future, Duke Gui will be in charge of the imperial dining room, that is really good!" Wei Xiaobao was promoted as a eunuch, and he didn't think it was a big deal, but thought: "The Queen Mother promoted me to the level so that I can't leak the slightest rumor about last night's incident." In fact, if I don't promote me, Lao Tzu doesn't dare to say more, my head has moved, and my mouth is gone, can I still talk more? But since the Queen Mother has promoted me, she will never kill me, so you can rest assured. Thinking of this festival, he smiled, took out the silver tickets, and gave each person fifty taels of newspaper fees. A eunuch said, "There has never been a deputy chief in our palace who is as young as your father-in-law Gui. There are fourteen chief eunuchs in the palace, eight deputy chief eunuchs, and only twenty-two of the top characters. Originally, there were not even those under the age of thirty. As soon as Gonggong Gui is promoted today, Ming'er will be on an equal footing with Manager Zhang and Manager Wang, which is really remarkable!" Another person said: "Everyone only knows that Gonggong Gui is following the emperor with great popularity, and I can't imagine that the Queen Mother also values you so much, but I am afraid that in less than half a year, I will be promoted to the general manager." You will have to be promoted more in the future!" Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "They are all their own people and good brothers, what do you say about promoting or not?" That's the grace of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, old ...... Old...... What credit do I have for Gui Xiaobao?" He swallowed the word "Lao Tzu" in his mouth, so it was not hard, and said: "Come on, come on, everyone come to the house and sit down and drink a cup of tea!" The middle-aged eunuch said: "The Empress Dowager's decree can only come in the afternoon." Everyone invited Father-in-law Gui to have a drink to celebrate Father-in-law's soaring and rising to the second level. Father-in-law Gui, you are now a five-grade official, that's not small. The other three followed, and they were going to drink with Rawei Xiaobao. Although Wei Xiaobao has been accustomed to being flattered recently, after all, he immediately locked the door and followed the four of them to drink with a smile. Among the four people, two were close attendants of the Queen Mother, who went to the Internal Affairs Office to deliver the decree on the orders of the Queen Mother, and was the first to get the news. The other two are the eunuchs of Shangshan Prison, one is in charge of purchasing food, the other is in charge of buying dishes, and the most is the fat shortage in the palace. When the two heard the news of Hai Tianfu's death early in the morning, they immediately stayed outside the door of the Internal Affairs Office, never leaving an inch, knowing who would replace Hai Tianfu's vacancy, and immediately rushed to take care of it in order to keep their posts. The four of them brought Wei Xiaobaojing to the imperial room and respectfully invited him to sit in the middle. The imperial chef knows that this kid will be his top boss from tomorrow, and he will be full of energy and cook exquisite dishes, but he is afraid that the queen mother and the emperor will not be able to eat such good dishes in ordinary times. Wei Xiaobao doesn't know how to drink, so he talks nonsense to them. A eunuch sighed: "Father-in-law Hai is a very good person, but unfortunately his body is always not successful, and he is blind. Another eunuch said, "Fortunately, everyone is loyal, and nothing went wrong." Another eunuch said: "Husband Hai is an old courtier liked by the first emperor, if the orange hadn't relied on the old master's old grace, the envoy of the Shangshan Supervisor would have sent someone else a long time ago." Gonggong Gui is favored by the emperor and the queen mother, which is very different. We have good shade under the big tree, and it will be much more convenient to get things done. The first person said: "I heard that Gonggong Hai died of coughing yesterday." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, Grandpa Hai coughs, and often can't breathe." The eunuch who served the Queen Mother said: "Early this morning, Imperial Physician Li reported to the Queen Mother, saying that Gong Hai was suffering from tuberculosis to the bones, rheumatism into the heart, and the attack of old diseases for many years could not be cured anymore. For fear that tuberculosis would be passed on to others, his body was cremated early in the morning. The Queen Mother sighed for a while, and even said: 'It's a pity, it's a pity, Hai Tianfu is quite honest!'" Wei Xiaobao was surprised and delighted, knowing that the guards, imperial doctors, and eunuchs were afraid of being involved in the agency, and concealed the killing of Gonggong Hai and did not report it, which just catered to the Queen Mother's wishes. Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "What kind of tuberculosis hurts into the bones, and rheumatism enters the heart? The old turtle has a sharp knife into the abdomen, and a sharp sword pierces the heart, that is true." After drinking for a while, the two eunuchs of Shangshan Jian gradually mentioned that the life of a eunuch is hard, and they all have to make some oil and water, please Wei Xiaobao not be as stubborn as Husband Hai, and everything must be done smoothly. Wei Xiaobao understood a little, some didn't understand, but only no, after eating, the two eunuchs stuffed a small bag in his arms, went back to the room and opened it, it turned out to be two silver tickets, each one thousand taels. He recognized the three words "one thousand taels", and thought: "Before you take office, you will receive two thousand first, which is quite good!" When applying for the card, Kangxi sent someone to send him to the upper study and said with a smile: "Xiao Guizi, the Queen Mother said that you made a great contribution last night and want to upgrade your level." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "I already knew!" immediately pretended to be surprised, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The slave has no credit, it is all the grace of the queen mother and the emperor." Kangxi said: "The Queen Mother said that last night there were several eunuchs fighting in the garden and arguing with the Queen Mother, you went over and drove away, and handled it properly." You're young, but you know the general picture. Wei Xiaobao stood up and said, "Do you know the general situation, I don't know." But I know that there are some things that should be remembered when you hear them, and some things that should be forgotten immediately and never brought up. The eunuchs fought, and what they said was very ugly, so naturally no one should mention it. Kangxi nodded, and said with a smile: "Little Guizi, although the two of us are not very old, we have to do a few big things, don't let the ministers look down on us and say that we are not sensible." Wei Xiaobao said: "Exactly." As long as the emperor makes a plan, if there is anything, leave it to the slaves to do. ”
