Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

The government and the public were turned upside down, but Gao Shiqi was leisurely, packing his luggage and going back to his hometown.

Suo'etu and Xu Qianxue, no matter what this time, they have to be the same.He hoped that it was Xu Qianxue. Suo'etu was too easy to deal with. If he bought one for 40 taels, Gao Shiqi would feel that he was losing too much.

Mrs. Gao heard during her illness that her husband could actually go back to live with her in her hometown. She was in a good mood and gradually recovered.She wanted to settle the accounts outside as soon as possible, especially the usury of Ruixiangfang. It would be cheaper to leave a day earlier.But Gao Shiqi disagreed.

"There are so many old friends in Beijing, and I have to say goodbye. If you travel in winter, your body won't be able to bear it. Let's go again in spring."

He is waiting, waiting for Xu Qian to learn from him.

Finally, at the end of October, Xu Sanli, the left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, sued him and Xu Qianxue for accepting bribes. Kangxi not only refused to play, but also demoted Xu Sanli by two ranks.Xu Qian was poor at learning from Qian donkeys, so he came to the door to admit defeat.

The finest silver frost charcoal is slowly burning in the earth dragon. In Gao Shiqi's small study room, it is as warm as spring, and there is also a pot of delicate Yipin plum, which is stored in a purple sand pot, covered with a blue and white Ruyi pattern of an official kiln. Porcelain basin.

Gao Shiqi was writing in his hand, and Xu Qianxue, whose eyes were not crooked, was very perfunctory.

"Brother Xu came to the door at this moment, and he can be considered calm. Sure enough, he is 15 years older than me. He is old and well-informed."

In less than a month, the two sides completely changed their identities, and Xu Qianxue almost decided to resign himself to his fate before leaving the house, and not to be subjected to this great shame and humiliation.But the foundation laid down by the Xu family for many years is not his alone.Once it was destroyed, he had no face to face the folks and elders, so he had no choice but to come and make peace with Gao Shiqi.

"Blame me. I misjudged you. I overestimated my capabilities. I also got Xu Sanli involved."

"Brother Xu is actually very accurate, better than Suo Etu. If he didn't have Guo Xiu, he would have entered my game. It's just that Brother Xu planned to die with me, and he didn't want to damage the reputation of his younger brother and his beloved son, so he desperately chose them. Clean, but the emperor saw through that he was trying to frame me, and Xu Yuanwen's previous sacrifices were all in vain. We have known each other for many years, and the whole Xu family is so embarrassed, I can't bear it."

"What do you want? Give it a good time."

Gao Shiqi rinsed the pen carefully, then opened the ground dragon, and put two new pieces of charcoal on it.

The gradually active red flame illuminated his cold and heartless eyes.

"Three things: one, you are not allowed to appear in front of the emperor again, unless I let you come; two, 5 taels of silver; three, hand over Chen Menglei to me."

After hearing the first two things, Xu Qianxue still felt that he could barely do it. Hearing the last thing, he was so angry that he kept coughing, barely covering his mouth and nose with his bony fingers, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Gao Shiqi, when I fight against you, my skills are inferior to others, and I am willing to bow down. How to deal with it is up to you. An honest man like Chen Menglei was forced to Ninggu Pagoda by Li Guangdi, and you didn't let him go!"

"Brother Xu, don't make it sound like you are a saint. You and Chen Menglei are not life-and-death friends, are you? Why are you helping him, rather than tearing up with Li Guangdi?"

"me……"

"I don't care whether Li Guangdi wrote the strategy of Ping Geng's loyalty alone or co-authored it with Chen Menglei. I only know that after reading Chen Menglei's "Letter of Breaking Up Friendship", the emperor almost shed tears. But Li Guangdi is more useful, and the emperor can't help it." In the end, Chen Menglei was exiled. Didn’t Brother Xu take care of Chen Menglei because of the emperor’s sympathy? You also instructed him to study the Book of Changes and focus on his subordinate director. I hope he will succeed in learning and overwhelm me. How? Is there something wrong?"

It was only now that Xu Qianxue realized that Gao Shiqi had watched his every move these years, no matter how big or small.

"If I depend on you, how will this matter end?"

"Of course I'm going to plead with the emperor. Xu Yuanwen's reputation is still ruined, so he should take care of it. Brother Xu returns to his hometown and enjoys two years of pure blessing. If the Ministry of Punishment can't be done, the history of the Ming Dynasty can still be revised. A Qing noble Hanlin Can't run away. Xu family, you can see the next generation."

Gao Shiqi did enough superficial work, personally sent the decadent and self-blaming Xu Qianxue out of the gate, and helped him into the carriage.He tried his best to control the ecstasy in his heart, and stood silently in the cold wind for a cup of tea before turning back and entering the mansion.

Standing in the courtyard in front of him, he was not in a hurry to go into the inner house to see his wife, the pride in his body had not yet dissipated.A wife who has been together for many years does not need to know that her husband is not as glamorous as imagined.Only her, Gao Shiqi didn't want to hurt.

Hurry up, get rid of Xu Qianxue, and then take control of Li Guangdi, the emperor will have no smart people who can be regarded as opponents. He, Gao Shiqi, lost his father when he was young, and was once so poor that he sold calligraphy for a living. He never even took the imperial examination seriously. The literati are about to be extremely courtiers.

Scenes and scenes of the past uncontrollably appeared in front of my eyes: how I groveled and flattered Suo'etu's domestic slaves, and got the qualification to kneel on the ground to flatter him; In a blink of an eye, he became the watchdog of the Qianqing Palace, lingering on his last breath.

All, insanely stupid.

Mother Qian came back from the market with a bamboo basket on her shoulders, and saw her master from a distance, who was wearing thin clothes, standing motionless facing the wind, and trotted over in a hurry.

"Oh, my lord. If you're sick, madam won't die in a hurry? At least put on some big woolen clothes."

"It's okay, I'll go in now. It's just time to change clothes and enter the palace. The emperor wants to see me."

Mama Qian had been serving her for a long time, and she could tell at a glance that Gao Shiqi was in a good mood today, and she brought up the matter of buying a girl for the young master.

"After a while, the market may go up again. My hometown is not as good as the capital. The master was not allowed to buy it before, saying that he couldn't afford it; now the emperor's grace is great, and he has given silver and things. The family is also rich. Shall we take a look again?"

"If you want to buy someone, go back to your hometown. At least you know the basics. This winter, the three of you will take care of your wife and take good care of your wife. I will give you a double monthly bill, and there will be extra rewards during the New Year."

Qian's mother went briskly to the kitchen to put away the dishes, and then went into the room to help Mrs. Gao find clothes for Gao Shiqi to change.Old Chen reported outside the window that two eunuchs had come to take the master into the palace. Gao Shiqi reconfirmed in his mind what he wanted to say to the emperor before he went out to say hello to the eunuchs and got into the carriage.

Xi'an Gate is very close to the palace, and it didn't take long to enter Xihua Gate and go straight to Qianqing Palace.When Gao Shiqi got out of the car, he didn't see Liang Jiugong, but Zhang Shun was waiting there, and he knew it, he bowed his hands and handed over the money.

"Long time no see Eunuch Zhang."

"Lord Gao, please keep this. The slaves dare not take it. Your silver is all rewarded by the emperor. Please, the fourth princess is waiting for you.

The 2 sets of pots refer to the porcelain pots placed outside the flower pots for the sake of beauty.Porcelain does not absorb water and is not suitable for growing flowers, but it is beautiful, so it can only be set outside pots made of other materials

3 Silver Frost Charcoal, also known as Silver Bone Charcoal, is recorded in Qing barnyard banknotes. It comes from the Xishan kiln near Beijing. The white frost is smokeless, hard to burn and not easy to extinguish. One pot can last a whole day and night.

4 Let’s talk about Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei’s affairs roughly, very Rashomon: Chen and Li were arrested by Geng Jingzhong to become officials at about the same time, Li ran fast, and Chen had to stay because his father was arrested.Chen's statement is that he made an agreement with Li to act as an internal response, give Li some information, and write a memorial for Li to pass to Kangxi. As a result, Li deleted his name from the memorial and changed it to Li's idea, and relied on This memorial was appreciated by Kangxi; Li responded that there were no such things, and he sent someone to see Chen, but Chen still avoided seeing him.After the pacification of San Francisco, Chen was almost condemned to death. Xu Qianxue interceded, and then he was changed to exile. Chen wrote a letter and broke up with Li. Later, his main work was editing books.Of course, there is no way to know the truth now, but I personally judge that although Kangxi did not vindicate Chen later, he treated him very well. He supported his book revision work and rewarded him with the couplet written by himself. It should be because he believed in Chen's loyalty.So this book is to trust Chen's handling.Interested readers can directly search for Chen Menglei, he is really strong and miserable.
