Chapter 256 Kangxi Woke Up
In the main hall of Prince Chu's Mansion in Wuchang City, Ning Zhongyuan was slowly drinking a cup of tea, with an expressionless expression on his face, as if a creditor had come to his door, and he didn't get a good look.

At this time, there was a circle of officials from Chu Palace sitting at the bottom of the main hall, staring at the two people standing in the hall with displeasure, wishing to roll up their sleeves and drive them out.It's just that the attitude of these two people is respectful, as if they didn't see it at all, and they look very relaxed.

One of them was Xue Guan, the representative of the White Lotus Sect who had visited the Han army back then. Since Liu Ruhan claimed to be the King of Han, Xue Guan also had a so-called prime minister, but in the White Lotus Sect, this prime minister was nothing, because they had four There is a prime minister, and there are two so-called military advisers above him. I don't know where to get this messy official system.

Of course, Xue Guan, who became the prime minister, still couldn't escape the order of being a messenger. This time, he was ordered by the King of Han Liu Ruhan, and he went to the Han army with Liu Zhao, another confidant of the King of Han, but this time Liu Zhao As the envoy, he is the deputy envoy.

"Reporting to the King of Chu, the King of Han sent us here this time to congratulate the Major General on his great victory!" Xue Guan also clasped his fists in congratulations regardless of the murderous eyes.

Ning Zhongyuan hummed softly, and then said: "Your envoy's kindness, I appreciate it, but I'm a little puzzled. Now that your envoy is here, could it be that he is here to congratulate you?"

At this time, Xue Guan was sweating a little on his forehead, and he gave Liu Zhao a very concealed look, but Liu Zhao seemed to have wandered off, and didn't even look at him.

"I'm waiting for the two of you to come today, but there is still an important matter." Xue Guan didn't care to wipe off his sweat, and didn't dare to stop talking, "Some time ago, I taught the saintess to go to the Hanyang army to make friends, but For some reason, it was seized by Duke Hanyang and imprisoned in the army."

"presumptuous!"

However, Ning Zhongyuan didn't finish listening, and dropped the teacup in his hand, the broken porcelain pieces on the ground were stained with tea powder, and steam was rising.I don't know whether this presumptuous sound is scolding Xue Guan or his precious son.

But Xue Guan was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said in a low voice: "Please forgive me for the death penalty. It is really an order that cannot be disobeyed by the King of Chu. Please forgive me!"

This scene made Liu Zhao, who was behind him, itch his teeth with hatred. He was originally Liu Ruhan's nephew, and he was used to domineering in the White Lotus Sect. Seeing the heavenly man, he stalks and wants to marry Chen Caiwei as his wife.

At that time, Liu Ruhan actually had the same idea, but it was not because of this unworthy nephew, but because he wanted to annex Chen Daoxian's power completely in this name, so he acquiesced in this nephew's actions, and went to find Chen Daoxian himself. It is a good thing to match the two families.

But who is Chen Daoxian?Although he looks like a rough guy, but his mind is extremely delicate, and he is very clear about the tricks in Liu Ruhan's heart, so it is impossible for him to agree.However, Chen Daoxian didn't want to offend Liu Ruhan at this critical moment, so he pretended to be a snake and sent Xue Guan to marry the Fuhan army.

Later, after the marriage of the two families, Liu Ruhan had no choice but to swallow this bitter fruit, especially after the Fuhan army became more and more powerful, he was even more afraid to take any action.

But since the Qing army marched south, 20 troops attacked and recovered the Han army. This made Liu Ruhan think that his chance had come, so he secretly caught Xue Guan and made him secretly betray Chen Daoxian.

With Xue Guan's secret help, Liu Ruhan completely took over Chen Daoxian's original power and foundation. A large number of Baihe Taoists who were loyal to Chen Daoxian were secretly executed, and Chen Daoxian was also placed under house arrest.And Chen Caiwei noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere in time, so she secretly found some old departments and sent herself out.

The next thing was very simple. In desperation, Chen Caiwei had no choice but to seek help from Ning Yu, her nominal husband, and then Ning Yu stayed in the army and became a real husband and wife.

But in this way, Liu Zhao was very angry. He thought that after Chen Daoxian was put under house arrest, this Chen Caiwei was not the meat on his plate, and he could eat whatever he wanted, but he didn't expect that at the last critical moment, Chen Caiwei I ran out.

But he was also full of lust, this time he even took the opportunity of congratulations to actually go to the territory of the Fuhan army to ask for someone, but he scared Xue Guan out of his mind.The current Fuhan army is no better than before, and it might be able to divide the world equally with the Qing Dynasty.

"I would like to report to the King of Chu that the two families of Han and Chu have a good heart, and it was a wonderful thing to fight against the Qing Dynasty together. It's just that Chen Daoxian, who taught me, secretly communicated with the Qing army, and almost killed the King of Han. He really deserves it." Ten thousand deaths. Although her daughter is betrothed to the son, we suspect that she is a secret spy of the Qing army, which may be detrimental to the son."

Liu Zhao was also fearless, and talked eloquently, regardless of Ning Zhongyuan's increasingly ugly face.

"Hmph, what nonsense, it's just that your uncle and nephew colluded and wanted to seize the Chen family's foundation, and now you come to my Ning's house to beg for beauty, and you treat everyone in this world as a fool." Fool?"

Naturally, it was no one else who said this, but Ning Zhongyi, the eldest son of the Ning family who still had no tolerance for sand in his eyes.

"You! Talking nonsense!" Seeing his thoughts being exposed, Liu Zhao became a little out of breath, and immediately played the young master's temper.

When the crowd didn't know how to step down, Cui Wancai stood up. After making peace several times, he sent Liu Zhao and Xue Guan back to the post station, so that they could talk about other things after the two parties calmed down.

After this matter was over, Ning Zhongyuan insisted on inviting Cui Wancai to drink together, and the two of them set up several dishes of good food and served a pot of high-quality Huadiao wine in the back garden of Chu Palace.

Generally speaking, Ning Zhongyuan himself only drinks Xifeng wine, but he knows that Cui Wancai only likes Huadiao, so every time he drinks, he is accommodating Cui Wancai's taste.

"This brat, now, has really grown up. It's just a brief mention of such a big matter with me, which caused so many right and wrong today."

Ning Zhongyuan patted Ning Yu's letter on the table angrily, and sighed: "If it's an ordinary family, a young man of this age can at least make his parents worry a little bit more, but this king doesn't care. I can’t feel that kind of fun anymore.”

Cui Wancai had a smile on his face, and said softly: "There is nothing wrong with Ning Yu's doing this matter. The White Lotus Sect is full of ghosts. If it really makes one family dominate, it will be difficult to deal with in the future. Now there is a Chen family outside. Miss, thinking that Liu Ruhan wouldn't dare to do anything to Chen Daoxian, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep anymore."

Ning Zhongyuan pointed at Cui Wancai with his finger, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone says that you, Cui Wancai, are full of talent, but Ning Yu didn't learn anything from you, all you learned was some tricks and tricks. I really don’t know how you are a teacher.”

"Hahaha"

The two looked at each other and laughed, but they startled the birds in the garden. They saw a group of birds flying in the night sky, which was a wonderful sight.

Cui Wancai poured himself a glass of wine and sighed, "In this world, people are calculating people, not learning. If you really teach Ning Yu to be a nerd, you might even want to kill me."

Ning Zhongyuan smiled slightly, and drank the rice wine in the glass, but he didn't know whether he was in a hurry or choked, and he coughed unceasingly, but he couldn't stop it, and his face was even more flushed.

This scene frightened Cui Wancai, he wanted to call someone to invite the doctor, but Ning Zhongyuan stopped him with a wave of his hand. After a long time, the cough gradually subsided, and his face gradually returned to normal.

"My lord, this is an injury from years ago." Cui Wancai looked a little uneasy.

Ning Zhongyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the arrow from a year ago affected the heart, so that it didn't get better for a long time. On the contrary, it caused the old wound of the past, and it still can't die."

"But, my lord, at this moment, you must not have anything to do!"

Seeing his old friend like this, Cui Wancai suddenly felt sad, he still couldn't understand, these were just comforting words from Ning Zhongyuan.

Ning Zhongyuan ignored it, and just sighed: "Everyone says that Ning Yu will go down to earth, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart. Looking at the history books, which one of the so-called fate stars is not ill-fated? How many have a good end? As the saying goes, Huiji will be hurt!"

Cui Wancai calmed down his emotions, and said softly: "My lord, don't worry too much. Although Ning Yu is young, she acts calmly and never does things that are uncertain. Besides, my lord can remind me from time to time, so I think there won't be any troubles. "

"I hope so, I hope so, for Yu'er, I will live a little longer"

Ning Zhongyuan was completely drunk. This man who can't get drunk even after drinking Xifeng wine was finally drunk in the gentle hometown of Huadiao. He can finally get drunk to his heart's content, and he no longer has to worry about the life and death of the so-called family. up.
Cui Wancai still looked like a modest gentleman. He looked up at the faint starlight in the sky, but his thoughts drifted to the past. When the young man opened the door of his house, everything seemed to have never passed.

In Jinghai County, Hebei Province, the noisy streets and towns in the past have become very quiet at this time. A large number of Qing soldiers guard every corner of Jinghai County. It can be said that it is difficult for a mosquito to fly into this small county town.

Dozens of ministers stood quietly in front of a palace in Jinghai, none of them spoke, but all of them turned their eyes to the direction of the palace, because Emperor Kangxi was lying in it now.

Since the battle with the Fuhan army, Emperor Kangxi has been unconscious, and Xunzhu and Naersu fled all the way back to Luzhou with their people. However, there are not enough troops and Kangxi has not woken up, so he also I didn't dare to stay longer, and then took people all the way across the state and county. After traveling for many days, I arrived in Jinghai, Hebei.

Ma Qi, as a veteran minister in the court, was sent back to Beijing to study by Kangxi, but in the current situation, the ministers had no choice but to invite Ma Qi back. He heard the defeat result confirmed by Zhang Tingyu himself, and his whole body They all felt so dazed that they almost fell to the ground.

Along with Ma Qi came Xiao Yongzao, Minister of State and Political Affairs, a man with a white banner inlaid with the Han army. Therefore, among the ministers of state affairs, he is actually an out-and-out old stubborn.

"You trash, you let the emperor fall into such a situation, even if you all have your heads chopped off, you deserve it!"

As soon as Xiao Yongzao came, he started to rant, but these words offended almost all the people present. Of course, the ministers and generals who followed Kangxi, even Ma Qi, who came with Xiao Yongzao, felt a little pimple in his heart He should be the first to die when he was driven back.

It's just that it's not suitable to quarrel at the moment, so Ma Qi can only be this kind guy, "Let's go and see how the emperor is doing first, as for the conviction, we'll talk about it later."

"Hmph!" Xiao Yongzao let out a noise from his nose, and walked into the palace together without any further entanglement.Seeing Xiao Yongzao leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this old guy is like fish glue, once it sticks, it can't be shaken off.

But when they reached the gate of the palace, Ma Qi and Xiao Yongzao were stopped by an eunuch, this eunuch was Kangxi's personal eunuch, called Wei Zhu, which was considered quite trustworthy.

"Bosses, where are you going?" Wei Zhu's face was a little cloudy.

Ma Qi was about to say a few good words, but Xiao Yongzao beat him to the punch. He took a step forward with hair on his face, "The two of us are going to see the emperor, who are you? How dare you?" Stop me?"

Well, these words offended another person.However, Wei Zhu was no better than his seniors, so he didn't dare to stab the ministers, so he could only say in a low voice: "If you want to see the emperor, you have to be an old slave, isn't it? Now that the emperor is still ill, Mr. Xiao How is it proper to make a scene in front of the door?"

After saying these words, Xiao Yongzao was blocked there, unable to advance or retreat.Seeing that Xiao Yongzao was about to lose his temper again, Ma Qi could only smile wryly and said: "My father-in-law is justified, but I and the two of us were reckless. Please also report to the emperor." A bank note was stuffed.

Wei Zhu didn't even look at the banknote, but just covered it lightly with his hand, with an extremely graceful gesture, and said with a smile: "Lord Ma Qi is really polite, I will report to you now." Without looking at Xiao Yongzao, he walked towards the palace.

Seeing Wei Zhu act like this, Xiao Yongzao almost turned his nose in anger, he pointed at Ma Qi viciously, "Master Ma Qi is also a person who has read sage books, how can he treat such a castrate like a dog?"

Ma Qi couldn't explain anything at the moment, so he could only smile wryly: "Lord Xiao, now that the big things are important, how can we argue endlessly over such small things? The big picture is the most important thing!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yongzao just snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

It was only after a while that Wei Zhu came out of the palace, smiled at Ma Qi and said, "Oh, Lord Ma Qi, it's a coincidence this time, the emperor's health is better and he is awake, please two adults Enter the palace."
