Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 28 The guards play with you
As soon as Ye Bilong left, Kangxi drove to Qianqing Palace, and saw Sun Dianchen, Mingzhu, Zhao Fengchun, Mu Zixu, Stubborn Donkey, Hao Laosi and others waiting at the gate of Yuehua.Seeing Sheng Jia approaching from a distance, everyone knelt down, only Sun Dianchen greeted him with a happy face and said, "Master, we are here to relieve your boredom."

Kangxi looked at these few people, then turned around and asked, "Is that how many?"

Wei Dongting hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "According to the master's order, it will take a few days to add more, but the master forgot?"

Only then did Kangxi remember, waved them up and asked them their names one by one.He was particularly interested in Mingzhu, and said with a smile, "That's a good name, is it the Pearl of the Palm, or the Pearl of the Earth?"

When Mingzhu met the emperor for the first time, she was a little nervous. Seeing that Kangxi was so easy to get close to, she put her mind at ease, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "This servant is willing to be the jewel in the emperor's plate!" Kangxi nodded with a smile, and then asked Hao Laosi: "You are the fourth oldest?"

Hao Laosi replied according to Wei Dongting's prior care: "The slave's real name is Hao Chuncheng. Since I was young, I was not afraid of anything except heaven, earth, and the emperor, so people called me Hao Laosi!"

"Okay, if you know how to respect heaven and fear life, you can be regarded as a well-behaved person!" Then he asked, "Where is another stubborn donkey? Come to me!"

The stubborn donkey heard this, stepped forward a few steps, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.Kangxi smiled and asked, "What did you do for a living?"

"I have done business with no capital." Stubborn donkey has long forgotten Wei Dongting's care, "But that happened a few years ago, and I haven't killed anyone in these few years." Wei Dongting and Mu Zixu were worried , but heard Kangxi laughing: "Get up, your true colors are better!" Then he asked Wei Dongting: "You friends, probably all of you have not cultivated good fruits in your life?"

Wei Dongting knew that "I don't cultivate good fruits in my life" is a sentence in the verse left by Lu Zhishen sitting on the bank of the Qiantang River in "Water Margin", and the next sentence is "I only know how to kill and set fire".He hurriedly replied with a smile: "Except for Mingzhu, they are all. But if you follow the master, you will be successful in a few years."

"Okay." Kangxi said, "Go and tell the respect room to give them each a share of money and food. Let's pay them according to the eighth rank. Once a month, the general manager will come to you." Aunt Su Ma came over and said: "From now on, I will go to the palace every day as an errand, and I don't need to bring any equipment, just play boxing - Wei Dongting, I leave this to you." After finishing speaking, he went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Kangxi left, Wei Dongting called several people together and said, "Have you heard what the master said? From now on, you are all officials of the imperial court, so you have to be a little bit more disciplined. You have to follow every step and every word you say." Follow the rules! Since the master asked me to do this job, I have to let go of my brother's loyalty. Whoever wants to make a mistake in this Forbidden City, let alone big brother, I can't save you, even if I save you, the family law will not forgive me! "He said these words with a straight face, and everyone had to listen respectfully.Only the stubborn donkey turned his head away and muttered something.Seeing that everyone was speechless, Wei Dongting continued: "Every day at Chenshi and Shenshi, we each work as errands in Rijingmen and Yuehuamen. When the master comes, he will accompany the master. If the master does not come, we will wait for the errands. When we get home, we will still Brothers." After speaking, he led everyone through the corridor.

Wei Dongting entered the Yuehua Gate, and bumped into Ban Burshan coming down from Qianqing Palace.When Bumble saw Wei Dongting, he stopped and looked carefully.Wei Dongting hastily stepped forward and knelt down, "Greetings to Master Ban."

Bumbleshan smiled all over his face, quickly supported Wei Dongting with his hands and said, "Wei Junmen, why bother? You are—"

Seeing him staring at Mu Zixu, Wei Dongting quickly smiled and said: "Oh, these are the newly selected low-grade servants, they are playing with the emperor." Bumble was full of suspicion, but did not show it on the surface , boasting again and again: "Good! Everyone is a young hero, and they have endless prospects!" Wei Dongting said with a chuckle: "My lord is too flattering. Look at them, with dark brows and fierce eyes, they don't look like heroic boys. !” After speaking, the two of them laughed heartily.

The next day, Bumbleshan went to Heshou Hall to look for Oboi, saw that Oboi was explaining to Ye Bilong about the grain collection, he stepped aside and waited until Ye Bilong resigned before coming in.

As soon as he sat down, Bumble asked, "Zhong Tang, what are Wei Dongting and his men doing?" Aobai replied with a smile on his face, "I was practicing martial arts with the emperor." He didn't understand the meaning of the reply, so he hurriedly asked: "According to Zhongtang's opinion, what is the name of this place?"

Aobai looked up and looked outside the door, and replied coldly, "I just want your head and mine."

"Now that you know that," Bumble asked with a frown, "why didn't Zhongtang try to stop it?"

"He's the emperor," Aobai half-closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and said with a sneer, "If I don't even allow such a trivial matter, wouldn't it be too shameful?" After finishing speaking, he straightened up Body, Gege laughed twice, "However, he expects these hairy monkeys to treat me, it's too underestimating, you see—" He grabbed a copper paperweight on the case and handed it to Bumbleshan.Bumbleshan took a look and couldn't help being surprised, five deep fingerprints had already been imprinted on the copper paperweight!

After a long silence, Bumbleshan put the paperweight back on the case and said, "Nevertheless, everything can be established without warning, and the middle hall should pay more attention to it."

"Of course," Aobai nodded, "Your words make sense! That's why I have asked Murima to take over the Longzong Gate, Nemo to take charge of the Jingyun Gate, and the Qianqing Palace is also a dozen experts we have placed in Da Nei. Changping, Juyongguan, Mentougou, Fengtai, Tongzhou, Shunyi's garrison, and Qian Zong have all been replaced by our own people—this is an outside arrangement. What do you think?"

"Just changing the defense, I'm afraid it won't work?"

"At the moment it can only be like this." Aobai said, "If you make too much noise, if it alarms the military department, it will be known to the whole court, and that will be bad."

"Zhongtang," Bumbleshan said with relief at this time, "it's Chen Shi, they are practicing martial arts, let's see how it goes?" Oboi jumped up, and smiled with great interest: "Okay, still You, see their fists and feet!"

After a while, he entered the Forbidden City.When Fang entered the Long Zongmen, he saw Ye Bilong looking inside the Qianqing Gate, Oboi smiled and said: "After all, this old man's anger has not been cured, we will not go to see him." Bumble said kindly: "He is still worried about the third child. "

The two walked up to the gate of Qianqing while talking.It happened that Asha was on duty, when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly bowed to greet them.Suddenly there was a noise coming from Yuehua Gate, Aobai listened quietly for a while, it seemed like he was fighting and joking, it was not very real, so he pulled Bumble kindly and said: "Let's go to Yuehua Gate."

Here, Hao Laosi and Zhao Fengchun are fighting together, and Kangxi is watching happily.Zhao Fengchun was originally a ten-man leader under Zhengbai's banner, and he had never been in a real battle. He became Goshha of Suo'etu, and when he was free, he practiced boxing and kicking with the porter brothers, stretched his muscles and bones, and talked about martial arts The bottom is very thin.

Zhao Fengchun took advantage of Lida, and Hao Laosi was eager to show his face in front of Kangxi, so he tried to attack him several times, but it didn't work.Hao Laosi saw that his foot was not stable, hooked his hands into the shape of eagle claws and rushed forward, Zhao Fengchun threw his hands together, and hit Hao Laosi's chest with his right elbow.Unexpectedly, Hao Laosi made a sudden change of move, Zhao Fengchun was hit in the air, Hao Laosi slapped him in the chest, and he fell to the ground with his buttocks.Kangxi couldn't help applauding and laughing.

Hao Lao Si triumphantly closed his momentum and was about to retreat when Zhao Fengchun yelled angrily: "Don't go!" A carp straightened up and jumped up.

Hao Laosi was unprepared and couldn't dodge in time, and Zhao Fengchun had already caught him by the braid.Hao Laosi turned around and kicked Zhao Fengchun in the jaw. Zhao Fengchun fell on his back, holding on to his braids and not letting go, even Hao Laosi was dragged out of the air.

The two sat up and looked at each other in a daze, Mr. Hao said, "What kind of punch do you call that?" Zhao Fengchun didn't budge, and said, "It's a good punch to knock you down!" Kangxi, who was sitting next to him watching the fight, laughed.Wei Dongting reprimanded him: "Get up and start the match again. You didn't know how to fight, just like two street ruffians!" Zhao Fengchun and Hao Laosi blushed and got up embarrassingly.

Obai and Bumble, who were standing outside the Yuehua Gate, exchanged glances.Aobai smiled contemptuously: "Go, go in and have a look." After speaking, he stepped in one step, and smiled behind Kangxi: "The emperor is very interested!"

Kangxi looked back and saw that it was Oboi and Bumbleshan, and he said to Wei Dongting with great interest: "A master is here! Zhongtang, why don't you play with these servants?"

Aobai took off his big hat, and without taking off his outer clothes, he cupped his hands to Hao Laosi and the others, "Please give me your recruits." After saying that, he squatted down and slowly raised his posture.Wei Dongting waved his hand to everyone and said, "Which one is going to ask Zhongtang for advice!"

The stubborn donkey charged forward first, held back his strength and made a move, Paodingjieniu, cutting straight in with one palm.As soon as the palms of both sides touched, Stubborn Donkey felt a huge thrust straight through his palms, he staggered back a few steps before standing still, staring at Oboi.

Wei Dongting stood on Kangxi's left side without moving, watching coldly.Bumbleshan secretly said: "This kid understands after all, he only protects the third child."

Mu Zixu, Hao Laosi and Zhao Fengchun saw that the stubborn donkey had suffered a disadvantage, they glanced at each other, made gestures, and forced them forward together.That Aobai regarded it as nothing, squinted his eyes and murmured:
〖It doesn’t have to be true when you hit the east and the west, and it’s hard to get in if you follow up and down.

Let him attack me with great force, and it will affect four or two thousand catties.

If the introduction fails, it will come out immediately, and sticking to it is like guarding the gods...〗

While chanting, he waved his hands, but no one could get close to him.
