Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 25 Shi Longbiao Repents and Converts to the Qing Dynasty Class Bachelor to Solve Doubts in Aogong Mansion (2)
I didn't expect this to go so wrong.He originally wanted to get He Guizhu, and discuss with Aobai after the trial.Unexpectedly, it was a bad start. In the afternoon, he intercepted the stinky Jinshi, but was spoiled by an inexplicable bad old man. He went to capture He Guizhu at night, but was snatched away by the people patrolling the yamen. It was a bad luck.

After copying Sukesaha's house, I accidentally found Wu Ciyou's paper, and found Yuepeng's shop by name and address.Bumbleshan couldn't believe that a man could have the courage to write "On Enclosing Lands and Disrupting the Country" in the Shuntian Mansion Tribute Court!Without a hard background, he dares!Besides, Suksaha got involved, which further showed that the matter was not simple.Therefore, in the past few days, they did not take Wu Ciyou by hand. They only sent a sit-in detective to pretend to be a drinker to observe the movement and monitor the Yuepeng shop.Soon it was discovered that Wei Dongting was also a frequent visitor there.He secretly rejoiced: It seems that the big fish is about to bite the hook.Unexpectedly, within a few days, not only Wei Dongting did not come, even Wu Ciyou disappeared like a yellow crane, this is very strange.He has his own chess, and he feels that he is much better than Oboi!There are no details, but it is related to the chess game, so you have to figure it out.In desperation, he decided to capture Mingzhu and He Guizhu, trying to get a thread.But these two incidents happened one after another, which made him feel as if someone else was playing chess with him, and he was playing chess first, which made him secretly startled.

In fact, after hearing what happened to Liu Jinbiao, he didn't believe that it was the patrolling yamen that robbed someone. The young guard looked like Wei Dongting, but he couldn't figure out who this group of night patrolling guards were—it was so confusing—but neither With the handle in hand, how can he do anything to the emperor's favorite guard?

After tossing and turning all night, until dawn, Bumbleshan stood up and ordered: "Prepare the sedan chair and go to the patrol office!"

Halfway through the trip, Bumble thought over and over, it would be better not to go, as the matter spread and everyone knew about it, rumors would spread immediately, which was really not good for the current situation.So he coughed lightly and ordered: "Go back to the sedan chair and go to Ao's mansion!"

Aobai was still sleeping because he drank too much wine at night.Because Bumble was a frequent visitor, the gatekeeper did not report to Oboi, but directly led him to the Heshou Hall in Oboi's study in the backyard, arranged for him to sit and have tea, and said: "Your Excellency, please sit down, and I will allow you to report to Lord Zhongtang!"

Bumbleshan rewarded him with a five taels of silver bill, and said: "Take care, but I don't have any serious problems, so I might as well sit for a while." The housekeeper thanked him, and Nuonuo retreated repeatedly.

After sitting for a while, taking two puffs of cigarettes, feeling that he had no taste, Bumble walked out of the hall.The Crane and Shoutout Hall is located in the east of the flower hall, facing the water and facing the wind. A cloister bridge is built in the pond in a zigzag way, leading directly to the water pavilion on the opposite bank.At that time, it was dog days, the rain was clear, the sun was burning like fire, the lotus was red and the leaves were green, and a willow branch was drooping on the bank.Standing under the tree and watching the water, it is indescribably quiet and dignified.Fang wanted to come up with a good sentence, but suddenly he heard Yanyu whispering deep in the willow shade, the voice sounded like two girls talking.

"Did you know?" One said, "Big sister Suqiu cried all night yesterday, but she got up early today with red eyes. Talking to her, I have a conversation with her, and I'm very lethargic."

Another said: "What's so unusual about this, the old man always wanted to bully her, and he got drunk yesterday...Sister Suqiu lived in the wife's room yesterday—if she hadn't bumped into her last time..."

"The old man is too - it's not that I'm a slave talking about the master behind his back - he's too lecherous, he's a lot of age, what virtue!"

"Pfft!" said another, "You little hoof, a little bit of age, don't care what he is doing-hey, put your straw stick away!"

It turned out that two little girls were playing with grass.Bumble smiled, and was about to leave, but the one who spoke first said again: "Let me tell you, maybe Sister Suqiu was crying about other things yesterday, the old man can't take care of these thoughts these days, then A few grown-ups are pouring yellow soup here day and night, listening to people vaguely say, discussing some big and 'laborious' things?"

The other giggled and said, "Don't worry about his labor and effort, it's none of our slave's business—how did you hide my grass stick with your narrow hooves?"

There was a "hum" in Bumbleshan's mind, and the word "abolished" came into the slave's mouth!He couldn't help being stunned: "No! There are three to four hundred people here, so it's okay to spread such gossip!" Just as he was about to push through the bushes and go in to ask what happened, the two little girls heard someone coming, and threw down the grass roots and walked away. Ran.

Bumble was in a daze, and there was a burst of laughter behind him: "Master Ban, it's time for spring to fall! The sun is scorching hot now, so it's hard for you to still have the heart of spring!" Looking back, it was Oboi, and the next maid was He has a parasol.Bumble said with a good smile: "I'm old, what kind of spring do I miss!"

Aobai smiled and said: "That may not be the case, you will grow stronger when you grow old, and you are still in your prime!" He stretched out his hand and let Bumbleshan into the Crane Shouting Hall.

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and Oboi frowned and said, "Last night, I asked you to stage a mutiny at Chenqiao. I still have lingering fears in my heart. Thinking about it quietly is really frightening. I didn't sleep well all night, and I took a nap at dawn. .”

Bumble said sternly: "Zhongtang! If you don't stop, you will suffer chaos; if you don't take it, you will suffer the blame. This is all in exchange for heads! You have to think clearly about whether to advance or retreat. "Oboi laughed dryly and said: "As far as this is concerned, it can be said that the water is too much to deal with, but I am a little too sorry for the late emperor. Aixinjue Luo is not bad for me."

"Zhongtang is still the heart of a benevolent man." Listening to Oboi's tone, he seemed to doubt his Bumble's kindness, and said with a calm smile, "I am also a clan! Taking advantage of Zhongtang's words, I also want to ask for a little reward - after the matter is done, May Zhongtang Mo learn from the emperor of Zen and Deng, and live in peace with the Aixinjueluo clan until the end, otherwise it will lead to civil strife in the Manchus, and make it impossible for both sides to deal with it. The most important thing at the moment is to try to cut off the wings! Keep secrets and wait for the time to move .”

Aobai smiled slyly and said, "What wings does he have! Once Suke Saha is gone, I have the right to decide. What will happen to Yebi Longji?"

"The bright ones are gone," said Bumble-Shan coldly, "the dark ones are hard to tell."

Oboi suddenly leaned forward and asked, "Who?"

Bumble shook his head and said: "I don't know right now, but there are a few things that are suspicious. I think that the three people who are very similar to what Brother Murima said are a bit suspicious." Gave it to Obai.

Aobai listened very carefully, he was a bit suspicious of Bumbleshan's private arrangement, and now he couldn't help nodding his head in praise: "It's hard for you to be so careful! It seems that the one named Suo among the three is the mastermind, Xiong Cilu I have an idea, and it’s unthinkable to expect Wei Dongting to escort you! However, when you mention it, I think there is something strange. Recently, the youngest talks about Confucius and Mencius, citing scriptures, and a group of Han people privately praise him for his knowledge. Chief. Old Mr. Zhou in the study room told me that except for Xiong Cilu’s occasional talk, the youngest did not study in the palace. It’s strange, he can learn by himself without a teacher?”

Bumbleshan didn't answer immediately, but only half closed his eyes and fell into deep thinking, sighed after a long time: "I should have thought of it earlier, it must be so!" Ao Bai sniffed his snuff and said: "Please explain it in detail." Buershan was about to answer, but Suqiu came in with a plate full of sliced ​​watermelon.

Aobai glanced at Suqiu and said with a smile: "Look at this, I cried again last night, don't worry, I have sent someone to find your father, I just want to reunite your father and daughter." Suqiu generously put the plate on the table Last time: "Thank you, master. This melon has been iced in cold water according to my wife's instructions. Master Ban, please use it."

As soon as Jianmei left, Obai asked: "How did you say that just now?" Bumble looked around attentively, but no one was in sight, and then said: "It's foolish to think that nine out of ten, the one surnamed Wu has not left Beijing. .”

"That's paranoid!" Aobai laughed, "Forgive me how many heads Wu Ciyou has, and dare to detain him here?"

Bumble said kindly: "No way. There are all kind people among the Han people, and not all of them are as low as Wu Sangui." Ao Bai pondered for a while, and then asked: "Where do you think he is now?"

This is exactly the question that Bumbleshan was thinking about just now. He glanced at Oboi, and said word by word: "It must be hidden in some minister's mansion. This is related to the fact that the third son has learned a lot recently. Then That would be very interesting!"

Aobai shook his head: "It's too unbelievable. Could it be that the Son of Heaven is willing to condescend to ask someone to be a teacher?" Bumble smiled silently, and said, "We have to wait and see. According to my humble opinion, although there are many scholars in the court Either Zhongtang doesn't like it or the youngest doesn't believe it. Rather than letting you put a nail beside him, it's better not to have a master."

Aobai clapped the case and said: "I want to give him a master, he has to if he doesn't want it! It's useless to make such a little money!"

"It's not only useful," Bumble said kindly, "it's wonderful! Nowadays, many ministers in the Manchu and Han Dynasties look at the third child with admiration, thinking that the emperor's heart is intelligent, and he knows without learning! He is a generation of sages; Traitor, do you think this is a big deal?"

In order to hide his upset, Oboi took a piece of melon and took a random bite and asked: "In your opinion, what should we do now?" Bumble said kindly: "Now that the third brother has not yet achieved power, there is no way he can't be Zhongtang. Zhongtang can pretend In order to honor the king, secretly repair the armored soldiers and wait for the opportunity." Aobai shook his head and said: "You know, this kind of matter should be resolved quickly, and the most afraid of slowness, slowness will change!"

Bumble said with a smile: "If the enemy is evenly matched or if the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is better to make a quick decision. Now I am ten times stronger, so I just need to be on guard, and I will make it without losing the opportunity. I am not afraid of being slow. Zhongtang thought, if the third brother really hired Wu Ciyou Studying in a certain minister's house, he thought he had a plan, but in fact it was a big mistake! He behaved subduedly, white dragon and fish clothes, wouldn't killing him be clean and tidy? He died in the enemy's house, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity !"

Aobai slammed the melon that he had only eaten into the ground and said, "Okay, you really have it!" He stood up excitedly, and subconsciously reached out for his saber, only then remembered that he was wearing casual clothes, "Please check this matter." Clearly, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.”

Bumbleshan hurriedly got up and replied: "Since I have received kindness from Your Excellency Zhongtang, don't you dare not try your best!"

"Accomplish this matter," Oboi laughed, "You are the founding father of the country! How dare Oboi not reward those who have meritorious deeds!"
