Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 161 Entering the Urn

Guo Xiu hit a hit, making Suo'etu furious.

It was night, and he urgently called Li Guangdi to his home.

As a native of Fujian, Li Guangdi was very afraid of the autumn wind in the capital, and it was almost winter. He wore an autumn-colored silk cotton brocade robe and walked quickly into Suo'etu's study.

"Oh, it's so cold, so cold, but it's time."

Suo'etu was so anxious that he was not only not cold, but also hot. Hearing his emotion, he became more and more irritable.It's a pity that Li Guangdi is the only one under him who can read the holy will. When he is in use, he can't get angry, so he asks the servant to gather a charcoal basin and bring over the hand stove and foot stove.

"Hou'an, Gao Shiqi was dismissed, you have heard."

"Hmm. It's a strange thing. I don't know. What's the reason?"

"It's not clear yet, we have to wait. It's a shame that Guo Xiu showed his face in front of His Royal Highness once. Steward!"

From a distance, someone outside could be heard responding immediately.

"Master, the servant is here."

"Let's invite Malhan over here, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"The slave will go and urge you now."

Suo'etu threw away a piece of chicken blood red ancient jade that he was fiddling with in his hand, and sat down heavily.

"A bunch of useless things. I was sent out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. I am not in the South Study Room. I don't know the details. I am too lazy to make friends with Liang Jiugong's eunuchs."

Li Guangdi took a sip of the tea and found that it had been mixed with milk. He didn't like it, so he put it back on the table.

"Malhan, who is it? How does he know what's going on inside?"

"You don't quite understand what I said. He was born in a military camp. Now he is taking a job in the household department. The emperor hasn't figured out how to use him yet."

Hmph, it's just that I don't trust me and I don't want to say it.

Li Guangdi hugged the stove tightly, cherishing words like gold.

"My lord, don't expect too much from me. I was only ordered by the emperor in May to be expelled from the Imperial Academy and sent to the Secretary of General Administration for self-reflection. Calculated carefully, there will always be three months in which I haven't seen Long Yan."

"It's this time, why are you still being modest? If I have someone else to ask, who will work for you?"

"It's not like there's this one, the newcomer..."

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.It was reported that Master Malhan had arrived, and Suo'etu walked to the door and greeted him.

Both sides were in a hurry to pass on the news, saluted indiscriminately, and started talking while walking into the study.

"Guo Xiu came early in the morning, and we left at night, but he didn't leave. I didn't hear what he was attending at first. Later, when he came away, I vaguely heard that Wang Hongxu was also dismissed from his post, sent back to his original place, and charged with crimes. Yes, to blackmail officials."

Suddenly seeing Li Guangdi's unfamiliar face, Malhan subconsciously shut up.Suo'etu introduced the two of them to each other, and the three of them sat down again as guest and host.

"Is there any news about the fourth princess?"

Only then did Li Guangdi look straight at Malhan.

How could this man climb so fast? He even has access to the harem.

"My little girl went home and said something just now. I was busy asking questions, so I came late. She said that she was in a hurry, and the fourth princess didn't know much. She only knew that Gao Shiqi was playing chess with the emperor at that time. Pass Guo Xiu's booklet up." , the emperor was very angry, sent Liang Jiugong and the others out, and asked him alone. Later, when Gao Shiqi left the palace, Guo Xiu was called over again, as if the emperor wanted him to rewrite the scriptures."

Li Guangdi knew that the emperor trusted Gao Shiqi and would not offend him easily.With such a commotion, even Wang Hongxu was dismissed, Guo Xiu must have committed a felony.

What could it be?

Li Guangdi regretted it again, he was negligent for a while, and was caught by Xu Qianxue, and lost the convenience of the emperor's close ministers.

Now he is just a very ordinary servant.

I have to find a way quickly and return to the Imperial Academy.

The three of them were racking their brains, thinking about the reason, when the housekeeper suddenly brought in a letter, saying it was sent by Guo Xiu, the censor of Zuodu.Suo'etu couldn't wait to take it apart, looked it over quickly, beat his chest and feet, and cursed.

"What a Gao Shiqi, ungrateful! Back then, he was just a poor literati, selling calligraphy for a living, looking for a living in my house all day long. If I hadn't pitied him and given him a chance, he might not know how he would eat chaff and swallow vegetables now Good! Now that things have come to an end, they actually stabbed me in the back!"

Li Guangdi was afraid that he would accidentally drop the letter paper in the charcoal basin and burn it, so he hurriedly snatched it to read, and handed it to Malhan to read because of his sympathy.

"The charge is that of planting the party for personal gain, colluding with Wang Hongxu, blackmailing officials at all levels, and collecting more than [-] taels of bribes. In my opinion, this charge is very appropriate. Gao Shiqi has been doing this for more than ten years. The emperor knew about it. Let's go. Why, my lord..."

"The crime is this crime, and the money is not this money. Gao Shiqi was so poor that he started borrowing usury money. How could he have 40 taels? He used this excuse to add money to the treasury. I'm afraid it wasn't Mingzhu's money! You Just watch, Mingzhu will be reinstated soon!"

Malhan's mind was not very bright, and he stood there for a long time.Fortunately, he had a tight mouth, and couldn't figure it out, so he just kept his mouth shut.

Why did you bring Mingzhu into it again?

Does the fourth princess know about this?If you want to say you don't know, Guo Xiu can't tell Suo'etu, instead of telling the fourth princess; if you say you know, just now when your daughter came home, she didn't mention it!

The three people in the study, each with their own thoughts, froze for a moment.However, the butler didn't wink, and ran in again to communicate. This time it was Gao Shiqi who came to the door by himself.

Suo'etu gritted his teeth, his gray beard trembling violently.

"I don't see him, he's not as good as pigs and dogs! Dirty my house!"

Li Guangdi was calm and calm, first stopped the housekeeper who was about to go out to pass on a message, and tried to persuade him.

"At least listen to what he is going to do. If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess. Since he dared to come, you will not see him, but it seems that you are afraid of him."

Suo'etu couldn't say "please", so he waved his hand impatiently, and the butler trotted out to invite Gao Shiqi.Li Guangdi took advantage of the opportunity to hide behind the screen, and Malhan had an idea and followed suit.Li Guangdi glared at him. After all, he didn't dare to remind Suo'etu that there was an outsider here. He was afraid that he would also be cleared out, so he didn't make a sound.

Gao Shiqi went home to visit his wife, and saw that she was getting better today, so he went out with peace of mind and came to see Suo'etu.

"Long time no greetings, my lord, don't come here without any problems."

Suo'etu was still angry, picked up the teacup on the table and was about to hit Gao Shiqi, but was stopped by a word.

"Mingzhu's comeback this time, do you want to stop her?"

"Dare to mention it, isn't it all your fault?"

"It's not indecent to come and go. Since I borrowed Master Mingzhu to answer an emergency, I should naturally give him a hand; Lord Suo'etu was kind to me in the past, and now I'm about to return home, so I should also make plans for you. some."

"What a breath. Who do you think you are?"

"I know that my lord treats me like nothing. But the emperor just believes in me, so there is nothing I can do about it. My lord, when the San Francisco was in chaos, Mingzhu resisted all opinions and supported the emperor's use of troops against the south. Since then, the emperor has been on the rise. Now, the emperor wants to fight Karma Erdan, he lent me his hand and offered 40 taels of military pay."

Speaking of this, Gao Shiqi glanced at the screen and was sure there was someone there.

"The emperor is about to summon a group of ministers in the South Study Room to inquire whether it is feasible to attack Mongolia. Xu Qianxue and Li Guangdi have a bad relationship, and your lord is also friendly with Li Guangdi. Such a good opportunity must not be missed."

After all, Gao Shiqi didn't wait for Suo'etu's answer, and walked away on his own.

Malhan didn't know about the festivities among civil servants, so he was confused by what he heard, so he simply memorized it by rote and planned to report it to the fourth princess.He turned his face and saw that Li Guangdi clenched his fists, and there was a murderous look in his eyes that was similar to his own.
