Chapter 17
"Zha——" Wei Dongting agreed, then stood up, and then said to Oboi: "Go back to the middle hall, and according to the decree of the two palaces, come to serve the Lord Long Live." After saying that, he walked past him carelessly, Standing directly on the left side of Kangxi, he scanned the hall with piercing eyes.

Kangxi felt relieved, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to kill Oboi, but seeing Murima and Namo retreating to the sides and holding back, and they were both carrying waist knives, he thought for a long time and finally realized that the power was too single, If you really do it, success or failure is unpredictable.When he looked at Oboi, he still had a fierce look on his face, and sighed in his heart: "I have to take a step back!" After calming down in my heart, my speech became smoother: "You don't have to be so impetuous, I think Suksaha is not guilty even if he is guilty. As for the Lingchi execution!"

At this moment, Oboi also quickly assessed the situation, and there is a big fight here, and the chance of killing Kangxi is very small.To be honest, there is Wei Dongting, and Sun Dianchen's dozens of bodyguards are all outside in the porch, how can he handle it?Suo'etu and other military officials were standing outside the Kuang hall, how could they stand by and watch?After weighing it for a while, he looked left and right and replied: "According to the law, Suksaha is the crime of Ling Chi, but since the emperor is sympathetic, he will be spared and beheaded instead!"

After listening to Aobai's words, Kangxi felt relieved, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief: his own safety is no longer a serious problem.But when he thought of killing Suksaha, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he kept silent.Jie Shu, who was kneeling by the side, knew the details best. He knew that if he didn't kill Sukesaha, there might be big trouble if he continued to entangle him, so he kowtowed and said, "In my humble opinion, let's... hang him!"

Kangxi shook his body for a while, gritted his teeth and still did not speak.Aobai laughed grimly and said, "Look at the faces of the Emperor and Your Highness, he's a dead body!" He didn't kneel down after finishing speaking, he bowed his head and said, "I'm going to be imprisoned right now!" Turning back, he yelled at Murima and Namo Said: "You bastard! What are you doing standing here, why don't you come with me?" He stomped away with his uncle and nephew Murima.

Seeing Oboi's haughty figure going away, Kangxi was so angry that his whole body went limp. Fang stood up and wanted to leave, but seeing Jie Shu was still prostrate and did not dare to move, he walked over slowly, and said coldly, "Prince Jie Shu, please lift up your hand." Get up!"

Jie Shu raised his head in horror, dodging Kangxi's gaze, and tried to speak a few times, but he didn't say anything.At this moment, Kangxi wished he could kick him to death. After thinking about it, he sighed and waved his hands, "You... kneel down!"

The summer solstice in the sixth year of Kangxi was a dull and cloudy day.The clouds were low.The willow branches by the Haizi remained motionless and hung straight down on the water, and the fruit vendors on the street also changed their usual loud and elastic voices, and weakly shouted "Xiangsier—sesame sugar—" "Who wants to paste it?" Cake and fried dough sticks—”

After falling asleep, he woke up and greeted the Queen Mother. According to the old rules, Kangxi took Lagu Su Ma and Wei Dongting with him, and came out of Shenwu Gate in a small sedan chair, and quietly went to the Suo Mansion inside Xizhimen to attend classes.

There is a servant specially waiting for Kangxi at the back door of the Suo mansion, who is the second generation of the Suo'etu family slave.Although they have long since retired, they were reappointed for this errand.A few plainclothes guards live here to help take care of them, so they can go straight into the inner courtyard of the back house without alarming other people in the mansion.

This is a large back garden, covering more than ten acres of land.Several gazebos of varying heights are scattered around the pool water in an extremely well-proportioned manner. Among them is a pressurized arch bridge leading directly to the center of the pool.Detour from the exquisite rockery, and then pass a tortuous stone bridge to the study room - where Wu Ciyou lived and taught Kangxi.

When the three of them walked to the bridge, they heard the sound of tinkling zither coming from the study.Wisps of fragrance wafting in the water and rocks of this mountain pavilion really make people feel like walking into a fairyland.Kangxi stopped walking, and the three of them stood on the bridge holding the stone railing and listened quietly to the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano is sometimes tense and sometimes slow, provocative and delineating, and I can't tell what it feels like.Sometimes it makes people feel as if they are floating in the sky, and they feel like they are flying in the sky; But I felt the turbidity in my chest was swept away.

Wei Dongting listened for a while, then lightly touched Kangxi's sleeve.When Kangxi looked back, he was smiling at Aunt Su Ma.Kangxi saw that Aunt Su Ma was lost in thought, and asked in a low voice, "Wanniang, what are you thinking?"

Aunt Su Ma didn't know what to say for a while, she blushed and smiled after hesitation: "Listen to the piano, what do you think?"

Kangxi was surprised because he had never seen Lagu Su Ma like this.Wei Dongting next to him smiled and said: "Longer don't need to ask, this is in the "Book of Songs". There are also footnotes, saying, 'Once the sea was too difficult to be water, except Wushan is not a cloud'. Sister, do you think so?" Su Malaguhong He frowned and spat: "You are not a good person! Instigate the master to make fun of people, and see if I don't tell Nanny Sun when I go back!"

Wu Ciyou heard the voices of people chattering outside the window, so he stopped the qin and breathed incense, stood up and pushed open the window and laughed, "No wonder the qin sounds different, the strings are good and the sound is wrong, so someone is eavesdropping, please come in!"

As soon as Kangxi entered the door, he asked, "What piece did you play just now? I've never heard such a good piano!" The words made the three of them laugh, but they had different thoughts in their hearts.Seeing Long Er and Wei Dongting sitting there in a daze without speaking, Wu Ciyou thought it was funny, he tidied up the things on the table and said: "Today we will continue to talk about "Book of the Later Han", starting with Emperor Ji."

This is the official start of class.After Kangxi sat down, Aunt Su Ma took the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" from the shelf, spread it out in front of him, poured a cup of herbal tea for Wu Ciyou and Kangxi, and then sat side by side with Wei Dongting on Kangxi's side.

Wu Ciyou briefly analyzed the reasons for the demise of the Western Han Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Ban Shi's "Han Shu" can certainly serve wine, but according to my foolishness, there are also many chapters in Fan Ye's "Han Shu" that are excellent and good. Immortal forever. It's just a pity that one incident has greatly damaged his own reputation." Kangxi hurriedly asked: "How can the article be changed according to human affairs?"

"Yes!" Wu Ciyou replied, "This is a clear proof. Fan suffered a loss from the word 'ao'. In his letter to his nephews in prison, he once boasted that his "Book of the Later Han" was better than the "Book of Han". Even more clever, it is a "miraculous work in the world". The middle-level chapters in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" are not inferior to Jia Yi's "On the Passing of the Qin Dynasty". Even I can't choose a suitable word to describe this wonderful book. , since ancient times, there is no history book comparable to "Book of the Later Han Dynasty."

"Listen, how big is he bragging?" Wu Ciyou paused and continued, "It is a virtue for literati to be lofty and self-respecting, but if they think too highly of themselves and turn into arrogance and ignorance, it will inevitably lead to ridicule by later generations." Many chapters in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" are very readable, and this is the reason why people despise it. This is really the result of Fan Ye's self-destruction."

After talking about this festival, I introduced the author, and then briefly introduced Chen Diji's lineage, one by one with my own views, and made a review according to history.Speaking of when Emperor Zhi ascended to the throne at the age of eight, a smile flashed in Kangxi's eyes, he put his hands on his knees, leaned forward, and asked, "Isn't that the same as the current emperor?"

Knowing this story, Wei Dongting was very jealous, and repeatedly sent winks to signal Wu Ciyou to be perfunctory.Wu Ciyou didn't know what this meant, he took a sip of tea and said: "This little emperor is extremely intelligent, if he can grow up, he will definitely become the ruler of a generation..." Wei Dongting walked over to refill his tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Are you starting from the beginning one by one after talking about it?" Aunt Su Ma noticed it early, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Weizi is also so sneaky, sir, there is no reason for you to intervene in the book, don't you hear Lin Lin?" Wenbushi?" Kangxi also laughed and said: "Yes, yes! What's the point of this, Emperor Zhi is Emperor Zhi, and the current emperor is the current emperor!" Wei Dongting could only blush and smile, and sat down to listen.

Only then did Wu Ciyou continue: "Unfortunately, this little emperor was too sharp, he denounced the general Liang Ji as a 'domineering general' face to face, he was hated by the Liang family, secretly used poisonous cakes as bait, and died in the palace... ..." He sighed, "It's really a pity!" Hearing this, Kangxi's heart jumped wildly, thinking of the situation of fighting with Aobai Ting, he really felt a little scared.

Wu Ciyou saw that he was silent, as if he had lost his mind, so he smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about Emperor Huan." Kangxi hurriedly said, "I still want to ask, sir, what about Liang Ji?" If you are so overbearing, you have harmed Emperor Zhi, why didn't you seize the throne and become emperor yourself?"

"Because at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty discussion," Wu Ciyou said with a smile, "people were very talkative. In addition, the Eastern Han Dynasty was not exhausted, and Wang Mang's past was still there. Liang Ji had to be scruples."

Kangxi didn't understand the word "clear discussion", so he hurriedly asked, "What is the law of clear discussion?" Wu Ciyou said with a smile: "Xiong Dongyuan ① impeached Oboi's 'political affairs have changed, and the legal system has not yet been determined', my 'discussion on enclosure and chaos', That is today's 'Qingyi'. Later Han Qingyi went astray and became empty talk. But when the emperor was challenged, there were still many people who were not afraid of death among the officials who dared to criticize the government."

Kangxi paused for a moment, then asked again: "In terms of Emperor Zhi, what is the best way to get rid of Liang Ji?"

Wu Ciyou couldn't help but glanced at Kangxi in surprise, wondering why he insisted on this question.After pondering for a while, he replied: "Looking at the current situation, Liang Ji's evil, making enemies on all sides, has offended the public, and lost the hearts of the people. If you can hide and wait for the opportunity, act like a fool with great wisdom on the outside, store up a brave man inside, and recruit good ministers, To support Qingyi, when the time comes, just a few warriors will be enough to punish Liang and Ji." Kangxi couldn't help smiling and nodding his head when he heard this.
