Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 21
About an hour later, the rain subsided a little, Murima came to call him: "Let's go, Zhongtang is waiting for an answer at home!" Namo said: "They haven't passed yet." Murima impatiently Said: "No need to wait, Zhongtang already knows who it is!"

Back at Ao Mansion, Aobai, Bumbleshan, Jishi, Sebende, Ge Chuha, Taibitu, Asiha and others were sitting in the back flower hall, some drinking tea with teacups in their hands, some holding teacups The pipe was smoking, and the hall was filled with clouds and mist.Seeing his uncle and nephew coming in, they exchanged glances with each other, but it was still Oboi who spoke first: "It's raining so heavily, the emperor summoned Wei, what did he say?"

Murima looked back at Nemo.Namo was flustered, and paused for a while before replying: "It's nothing serious, it seems that because of his meritorious service in driving, he was moved to be a third-class guard..."

Oboi felt a little surprised, so he chased after him: "They didn't say anything else?" Namo shook his head and said, "I can't hear you clearly, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal." Aoboi nodded and said, "Well, you too Sit down."

Bumbleshan shook his head with his hookah in his hand and said, "This must have something to do with Zhongtang." He smiled, glanced at the people in the room, and continued, "Let's try to figure it out. It's dark and there's no sun, call the bear Cilu and Suo'etu summoned a coat-coated slave, and the third child really took a lot of trouble."

When he yelled "Old Three", everyone in the seat changed color, even Oboi felt that he was not used to it.Nemo was horrified, but breathed a sigh of relief. He assassinated Kangxi in front of the Wenhua Palace tonight, but he didn't get Aobai's approval. .Now that Bumble said "old three", he understood that this was only going to happen sooner or later.While being relieved, he felt strange, this Bumbleshan himself was a member of the royal family, what good would he do if the emperor was gone, why bother to get involved in this life-threatening matter?
Seeing that there was no response from the crowd, Bumble-Shan began to speak presumptuously: "Since ancient times, there have been three ways to cause danger, and there are three ways to do it. If you don't make plans early..."

"Brother," Ji Shi put down the snuff bottle and leaned forward, "Please tell me the details." Seeing that Oboi was silent and listening intently, Bumble continued, "Those who have accomplished the best in the world will not be rewarded—it's not that they don't want to be rewarded. There is really nothing to reward, so I have to give death; the person who shakes his master is in danger-in fact, as long as the heart is at peace, he can be safe. The subject is strong and the master is weak, and it is rare to be compatible; You have been tabooed by nature, and your authority has passed over your master, and your master will get rid of you."

Taibitu, who was sitting next to him, secretly admired: "This old man has read a few books, and he has something in his belly." But he was also frightened by his words and jumped a few times, blurting out and asking: "Is there no salvation?" method?"

"Yes," Bumble said with a sneer, "discharge the military power, dissipate the remaining wealth, resign from the official title, and return to the hometown, so you can keep yourself a rich man."

"This can only last for a while," Ji Shi shook his head and said, "In less than a year or so, some uncle will rise up and list you for several crimes, and you will be exiled to Uliasutai if you don't die!"

"According to you two," Oboi said with a sneer, "Brothers have no choice but to sit and wait for death!" Bumble said kindly, "If you sit, you will die, if you don't sit, you won't die." Obai said: "Okay! 'Don't sit' method?"

Bumble came to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a word in the palm of his hand, clasped his hands together and said: "Brother has a good prescription, please write it yourself, everyone will stretch out your hands to read."

Aobai got up first to take the pen, swiped it in the palm of his left hand without thinking, sat down sullenly, and then several people wrote in turn.When it was Taibitu's turn, he first wrote a word on the palm of his left hand tremblingly, thinking it was wrong, and then wrote the word "Yin" on the palm of his right hand with his left hand pen, and then put down the pen.

The nine people gathered together under the lamp and stretched out their hands, but they saw the word "kill" all over them, they couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, Oboi suddenly felt refreshed, and loudly ordered: "Put the wine!"

Bumbleshan hurriedly said: "Many people have been alarmed! Why don't you ask your opera troupe to sing and let's just drink tea and discuss matters."

This is really a special meeting. Outside the West Flower Hall, there is heavy rain, thunder and lightning cut through the night sky from time to time, and the sound of pipa and crisp singing on the waterside pavilion on the other side is really special.From time to time, everyone in the room was attracted by the soft melody:

〖...Thanks to San Yisheng for setting up the fireworks plan,
Here is a girl who prospered the Zhou Dynasty and destroyed the Shang Dynasty.

In an instant, Jiaolong broke the golden shackles,

If he dares, he just shakes his head and wags his tail into the haze...〗

Ji Shi swayed Erlang's legs and slapped his eyes. Hearing this, he couldn't help sighing: "Although this tune is vulgar, it's very true—Jiaolong broke the golden shackles, good!"

"It's very appropriate," Bumble said with a nod. "It's a pity that it's impossible to make a 'firework plan' now." Murima smiled and said: "The youngest is only fourteen, I'm afraid I don't understand Fengyue yet. !"

Obai glared at Murima and said, "What else do you know besides Fengfengyue?" Murima blushed and dared not speak.Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Bumble said, "Don't listen to the show, let's discuss serious matters."

Ji Shi coughed and said with a smile: "Mr. Ban just discussed the 'Three Dangers'. My brother was a little creepy. Since I see the same thing, please tell me how to proceed!" Bumble said kindly: " Nothing more than the words 'waste, poison, and Zen'." Murima thought for a while, then laughed and said, "Aren't waste and Zen the same thing?"

"It's not just different," Bumble said with a good smile, "the difference is simply too far. After 'abolishing' and 'poison', the Aixinjueluo family is still established; the 'Zen' is the Li Naiguaerjia family! "Oboi hurriedly bowed to all the guests in the seat, and said: "Oboi wants to do great things, not for the glory of my family name, but because today's saints are stupid and ignorant. I thought the word 'Zen' could be exempted from discussion."

Jishi Kangsheng replied: "For the sake of one life and for the future, it is better to abolish the establishment, such as Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty, whose reputation has not fallen to this day; but for the second life, and for the sake of a hundred generations, it is better to use 'Zen'."

Ge Chuha said: "I don't understand this, don't 'everything' and 'hundreds' mean the same thing?"

"Of course not," Bumble replied with a nod. "Mr. Han Diao is quite right. 'Wan Shi', people comment on ministers' festivals; 'Bai Shi', people comment on their main business. Both Qin and Sui enjoyed The days of the country are shallow, and people have said a lot about it. If Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was unsuccessful, he was just a gangster who conspired against him. Li Yuan and his son are ministers of the Sui family, and their foundation is solid. Now who would say that they are 'rebellious ministers'?"

Aobai lowered his head deeply, and when he raised his head after a while, people saw tears in his eyes.He choked up and said: "It's just that Oboi also receives the emperor's favor, how can I bear it?"

Ji Shi said in a loud voice: "Heaven and God don't take it, but it's the fault! Don't play with the benevolence of women in the court, and miss the common people in the world!" Obai turned to stare at Bumble and said: "Since ancient times, there have been kinds of dragons and phoenixes. , from a humble background, it’s better for us to recommend one person as the leader.”

Bumble was good at seeing him apply the Three Kingdoms so mechanically, secretly amused: "Chen Sheng is the king, and Zeng Yun said: 'Emperors and generals, would you rather have a kind? Kuang Zhongtang is in charge of the court, and heaven and man return, so why be so full of doubts!" ​​After some generous speeches, everyone was in high spirits, and Oboi was fascinated by it.As soon as Murima thought of Aobai Bao, at least she could become a county king, she felt hot all over, pushed up her sleeves, and said first: "Okay!" It's gone.

Obai didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescing, and the next question was how to "Zen".Only then did people realize that Bumbleshan had indeed planned for a long time and had a plan in mind, and they all admired his scheming.

Ji Shi shook his folding fan and said first: "Abolishing it is naturally the best, but in my humble opinion, the third son has not lost his morals since he was in power. His words are not appropriate, and his teacher is unknown. Not to mention the courtiers are dissatisfied. If there are generals who command troops outside Objections are also very tricky." Aobai was thinking about this matter, he couldn't help nodding his head in approval, and said with a smile, "That's right, according to Mr. Han Diao's opinion, what should we do?"

Jishi closed his folding fan, and said slowly: "The second word is the shortest way, and less worries. It's a pity that Wu Liangfu is dead, so it's hard to do it." Obai said angrily: "Wu Liangfu is not a man, even if he is alive, such a person It’s also difficult to entrust big things.”

Taibitu didn't say a word for a long time, he felt that he had been silent for too long, at this time he saw that it was an opportunity to speak, and said: "Can you invite him to the Supreme Mansion, how about the banquet?" Before the end of the sentence, Murima sneered: "This The idea is so bad! How do you get rid of people who die here?" Taibitu hit a snag as soon as he opened his mouth, feeling very boring, thinking: "You are thinking about becoming a prince, so you are so arrogant?" He sat back in the original place embarrassingly. place.

Bumbleshan nodded at Taibitu and said with a smile: "That's all, no matter what method you use, as long as you succeed. As far as the moment is concerned, I think there are three things that need to be done urgently." Aobai hurriedly said: "Please tell me."

"First," Bumble narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and lowered his index finger, "the middle hall can edit three letters, and send them separately to Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi, showing a slight dissatisfaction with the court, just click on it, no need to speak deeply. "He slowly lowered his middle finger, "Second, the patrol yamen is now in charge of the guarding power outside the Forbidden Palace, and Wu Liuyi, the nine-door admiral, even if it can't be used by me, it's good to be neutral! Thirdly—— He bent his thumb again, "Qingqing Palace is the place where the youngest handles military affairs and government affairs. The guards and ministers must send the most reliable people there."

Ji Shi clapped his palms and smiled, and said, "It can be said that the fortune is perfect! With these three rules, no matter what the big thing is, do it slowly, I have the power, and I can win."

"As for how to proceed with the 'major matter', it needs to be discussed again, and it is difficult to finish tonight." Bumble said and looked at Oboi.Aobai understood and turned to the side of the hall facing the water, opened all the windows, and rolled up the long Xiangzhu curtain with his own hands.
