Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 968 The Paddock

Nanyuan Camp, Royal Tent.

Together with Zhao Chang, Wei Zhu stood at the door of the tent and waited for the servants.

On the surface, Wei Zhu acted like a mountain, as if he had accepted the established fate, and accompanied the king he served slowly towards death; in fact, he was a person who was extremely afraid of death, and in order to seize the slightest hope, he would not hesitate to take the initiative Go out and risk yourself.

With Kangxi's current temperament, if he finds out that the people around him are colluding with the prince's elder brother, he might not have the temperament to listen to people's tricks, and he will directly judge him as a crime.

However, recently, he couldn't express his anxiety in his heart, because the emperor paid more and more attention to Zhao Chang.

Zhao Chang was in his 20s and was originally a eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was appointed to the imperial court and served as an eunuch delivering orders.

According to the rules, eunuchs in the harem are not allowed to read, but there are many eunuchs who can read.

Because eunuchs entered the palace at different ages, some entered the palace in their teens, and there was no way they could read and write outside.Such people are usually not able to serve in front of the imperial court, and most of them work in yamen such as the respect room and the House of Internal Affairs.

Zhao Chang was a literate eunuch, but his background was different from that of those poor people outside who couldn't survive and purify themselves as servants.

He is the nephew and grandson of Liang Jiugong, who lost his father in his infancy. Liang Jiugong was the No. 1 imperial servant at that time, and he also had a private house outside the palace. He wanted to adopt his son to take care of him.Among the relatives in my hometown, many teenagers were pushed out.

Zhao Chang's mother is Liang Jiugong's niece.

Liang Jiugong heard that his niece was lonely, so he directly sent people to bring Zhao Chang's mother and son to the capital.Then I saw that Zhao Chang, who was five or six years old, knew how to be filial to his mother at a young age. Against Liang Jiugong's temper, Liang Jiugong gave up his idea of ​​adopting a son and directly adopted Zhao Chang as his adopted grandson.

In the next two years, Zhao Chang's mother died of illness, leaving two grandparents with growing feelings for each other.

No, not long after, Liang Jiugong was detained in Jingshan for violating Kangxi's taboo because he participated in the matter of cooperating with the prince to seize the heir apparent.

In this world, there is no shortage of people who have fallen into trouble.Liang Jiugong lost his Sacred Heart, and with no strength to turn himself around, who would be polite to him.

When Zhao Chang was fifteen years old, when his grandfather was questioned, some people were worried about his grandfather's foreign house property. Liang Jiugong suffered less crimes in Jingshan, and half of them paid filial piety to Elder Sixteen. If he didn't ask for others, he asked to enter the palace to serve his grandfather.

Although Liang Jiugong was convicted, he has been in the imperial court for more than 30 years, and he has taken good care of the concubine Wang.How could Elder Sixteen accept this money? He also disapproved of Zhao Chang's entry into the palace.

Zhao Chang is a good student, and has already obtained the honor of a scholar.It is a pity that such a person enters the palace as a servant.Brother Sixteen thought it was a crime, so he refused to nod.

Although Zhao Chang was young, he had a firm mind, Hua Yinzi directly cleansed his body, after recuperating, he begged Brother Sixteen for the second time.

This kind of filial piety makes the sixteenth elder brother only choose to fulfill it.

It's just that the batch of silver in Zhao Chang's hand is the family property saved by Liang Jiugong's servants before the imperial court. Brother Sixteen would not touch it, and asked Zhao Chang to deposit it in the bank to keep Liang Jiugong's retirement funds.

The sixteenth elder brother was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it would be cheaper to accept a small eunuch, so he directly arranged for Zhao Chang to go to Jingshan West Garden as an servant.The place where Liang Jiugong was detained was Jingshan West Garden.

Liang Jiugong couldn't be happy when he saw that his beloved adopted grandson was clean.

Zhao Chang just knelt down to suffer, but in the end Liang Jiugong couldn't do it anymore, so he took the whip and wailed loudly...

After that, Zhao Chang became the little eunuch of Jingshan Xiyuan, and his daily errand was to "guard" the prisoner Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong, from the first eunuch in front of the imperial court, to the prisoner in the high wall, and his most beloved adoptive grandson, died of human affairs. Under the shock, he suffered a stroke and fell ill.

Zhao Chang waited on the sick before his bed, pissed and urinated, and never said it was hard work.

I don't know what Liang Jiugong was thinking, even Wei Zhu who heard about it at the time felt incredible.

Since he is such a young man with ideas, and he controls Liang Jiugong's family property, even if he can't settle down in the capital, he will go away from the capital, and he has reached this point.

Who said that if the eunuchs are cut off, there are few people who will die well. Liang Jiugong has such a grandson, even if he dies of old age in Nanyuan, he is also a blessed person.

Liang Jiugong had been ill for three years, and Zhao Chang had been a filial son before his bed for three years before Liang Jiugong got up from the sick bed.

Although Zhao Chang was the only eunuch with no rank, among the eunuchs on duty in Jingshan, all the eunuchs respected him three points, and even Liang Jiugong's life was easy.

To be a human being, you have to leave a little bit of leeway. With Zhao Chang, a filial grandson, everyone has to think about it.Even if they forced their grandparents to death, it would be considered evildoers in the eyes of outsiders.

Liang Jiugong recovered from his illness, and left behind fame and fortune, only caring for his grandson's suffering.

As Zhao Chang grew up, he couldn't let his grandson sweep the yard for the rest of his life.He wanted Zhao Chang to work as an errand in Miyagi, and while he was still alive, he gave up his old face and paved the way for his grandson.Having lived ups and downs in the palace for most of his life, Liang Jiugong knew the darkness of the palace, so he hoped that after a hundred years, Zhao Chang would have a smooth sailing.

Zhao Chang, however, was worried about his grandfather, and would say nothing, and his stubborn temper made him half-dead with anger.

Two years later, Liang Jiugong's legs and feet gradually became sharper, and Zhao Chang was already twenty.

Under Liang Jiugong's earnest efforts, Zhao Chang no longer stubborn.

As a palace attendant, life and death are not in your own hands.Now the sixteenth elder brother is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he takes good care of their grandparents and grandchildren. He turns a blind eye and allows them to be at ease in the West Garden; if the Ministry of Internal Affairs is replaced, the two of them, one is an old sinner , one is a rankless little eunuch, where is there a place to settle down?

He finally nodded.

Liang Jiugong asked someone to send a message to Brother Sixteen, asking Brother Sixteen to arrange an errand for Zhao Chang.

It just so happened that the old eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs died of illness, so the sixteenth brother asked Zhao Chang to be the top eunuch.

In the spring of this year, I don't know how the emperor thought of Liang Jiugong. Knowing that his adopted grandson was working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was transferred to Qianqing Palace.Although he is still an eighth-rank eunuch and has not been upgraded, the position of eunuch delivering edicts is very hot.

There are many opportunities to go out of the palace, and the foreign ministers are fawning on them, even Wei Zhu is a bit appetizing.

Wei Zhu didn't say anything on the surface, but began to pay attention to Zhao Chang in private.

He is young, humble and unassuming.

Wei Zhu still felt that something was wrong. After serving the imperial court for more than twenty years, the most important thing is to look at him.Although Kangxi didn't show it, he treated Zhao Chang very differently. A eunuch passing orders is just the emperor's mouthpiece, so what should be treated differently?
If it is said that the emperor misses the past and cares about Liang Jiugong, then releasing people is just a matter of saying a word.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Wei Zhu accidentally saw a piece of cinnabar on Zhao Chang's little finger, that Wei Zhu suddenly realized.

He didn't know what to do, and he always felt that something was out of control, which made people nervous.

Zhao Chang noticed Wei Zhu's gaze, raised his head, and glanced at him, but his ears were frozen, listening to Kangxi and Zebzundamba Hutuktu talking.

The content of the conversation between the two was not about major national affairs, nor the alliance between Mongolia and Manchuria, but about the two young boys standing next to them, Huangsun Hongli and his companion Hang Seng.

Heng grew up differently from the Han people, and Zebzundamba Hutuktu could tell at a glance that he was a Mongolian.

But with the emperor's grandson, Zebzundamba Hutuktu was also interested, and together with Kangxi, he praised Hongli.

Kangxi was really happy when he heard this.Hongli took his temper, he looked good, and he hoped that others would also look good.

Zebzundamba Hutuktu didn't turn the topic to Hang Seng next to Hongli until he blushed from the praise of the seasoned Hongli.

Hearing that he was Cao Yong's son, Zebzundamba Hutuktu changed his mind about asking a few questions, and changed the topic with Kangxi with a smile.

Kangxi waved to Hongli and Hengsheng and sent them off.

It wasn't until the two of them went out that Kangxi turned his head and asked seriously: "Grand Lama, how is my grandson?"

Zebzundamba Hutuktu smiled slightly, and said, "How about little elder brother, didn't the emperor have already made a conclusion?"

Kangxi shook his head, not acknowledging this statement, but he refused to say another word about other things...

*
Hang Seng followed Hongli out of the imperial tent, walked a hundred steps away, stroked his chest and said, "This old lama looks at people with piercing eyes, and he seems to be talking about something."

Hongli couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that he regarded Zebzundamba Hutuktu as a charlatan.

There is a person strolling over in front, it is the sixteenth elder brother.Both Hongli and Hang Seng stepped out of the way to say hello to Elder Sixteen.

Elder Sixteen stopped in his tracks and said to Hongli, "This is coming back from Yuqian? Who else is in Yuqian?"

Hongli nodded, and said: "The great lama is in front of the emperor, talking with Huang Mafa."

Elder Sixteen nodded to show his understanding, and then said to Hang Seng: "Hang Seng said, your father's shift is ahead of schedule, and he's here today, have you gone to pay his respects?"

Hang Seng's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he already called out: "Grandpa Sixteen."

Brother Sixteen has an errand, so he left in a hurry after saying this.

Hang Seng turned his head, looked at Hongli and said, "Fourth Master, what do you think?"

Hongli glanced at him, and said: "If you want to be busy, you can do it, and the master will stop you from being a filial son?"

Hang Seng laughed twice, said goodbye to Hongli, and went to find his father after inquiring.

At this time, Cao Yong had already returned to the tent, and was pushing cups and changing cups with Li Wei.

Xu was shocked by the heroic spirit on the field in the past few days, which made Li Wei seem to be reborn, and he was no longer as stiff as before.

"Father, Uncle Li." Hang Seng followed the servant who delivered the food into the tent, and greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Uncle Li?" Li Wei squinted his eyes, turned to Cao Yong and said, "If I remember correctly, I am a bit older than the adults."

"It's Uncle Li." Cao Yong wouldn't argue with him, so he honestly asked Hang Seng to change his words.

Hang Seng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that his negligence had caused his father to suffer and be criticized by others.

He honestly changed his words, but he was thinking in his heart, a cat named Li Wei "Uncle Li", why is it not allowed now?Could it be that Li Wei wants to be promoted, so he has to pay attention to these things...

At the end of the month, Xiaojiu implores the support of the monthly ticket, please order it, maybe there will be a monthly ticket, please.
