Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 55 Hu Gongshan Phrases Explanation Bing Rong Wei Dongting Carefully Plans Countermeasures (1)
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Oboi was really anxious to wait.A sumptuous table of food and drink has long since cooled down.Sitting at the table was Bumbleshan, silently looking at the exquisitely carved jade cup in his hand, Jishi with his hands behind his back looking at a pair of Mi Fu's handwriting hanging on the wall, and Ge Chuha whispering to Taibitu who was sitting next to him.No one wants to eat.

"What do you think?" Obai couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Bumbleshan, "Why didn't even the reporter come here at this moment?"

Bumbleshan was thinking hard, when he heard Oboi's question, he murmured: "The third son went to Baiyun Temple today, it was a letter from Lao Zhao, and Liu Jinbiao from Xihuamen also saw it with his own eyes, so there is no mistake , but... I haven't heard from you for a long time, and Liu Jinbiao suddenly disappeared, so things must have changed." He stood up, "It's getting late, it's not like daytime, we should send someone to find out." Hearing this , Ji Shi turned his face away, Ge Chuha and Taibitu also stopped talking, and looked up at Oboi.

Seeing Aobai's eyes sweeping directly at him, Taibitu hurriedly said: "Zhongtang, brother Mu is going to Baiyun Temple, and he secretly dispatched the soldiers from the Xishan Ruijian camp and the mansion to go separately. These people are experienced You might as well wait and see." Jishi hissed and said, "It's good to win, but it's okay to lose beautifully. Anyway, if you lose the handle, the most feared thing is to be undefeated. If there is a stalemate, then you have to win." Contingency arrangements have been made."

"Here, that's it!" Bumble said with his hands together, "Brother Tai, you are an official of the Ministry of War, so you can use the seal of the Ministry of War to consult with the Shuntian Mansion, order them to send troops there, and say that there are thieves there. Tell them to go help and suppress!"

"No!" Without waiting for Taibitu's answer, Ji Shi cut it off loudly, "If someone recognizes the third child, why not blame him!"

Bumble Shan giggled: "I'm afraid that the governor of Shuntian will not recognize him if he goes in person. If there is any disharmony, we can just push it on their heads. Don't we take it off completely?" Taibitu retorted : "They have military reconnaissance in their hands, if they prove it in the future, I'm afraid it will fall on the brothers' heads." Aobai also shook his head, thinking that Bumbleshan was always shrewd, but this idea came out bad.

Bumbleshan didn't care, hummed, put the jade cup in his hand gently on the table and said, "You say I'm a fool! You told him to suppress 'thieves', but you didn't say who was the thief, he Suppressing the third child is considered to be working on my behalf; if you can't suppress it, you will prove it in the future, and you say let him "suppress the thief and save you", and he will "suppress the thief and help the thief"—and you can bear it on my behalf. This kind of advance and retreat Isn't it strange that you don't like Yuru's foolproof strategy?"

Hearing this, Aobai seemed to cast aside the cloud of mist in his eyes, and said repeatedly: "Yes, that's it. Taibitu, you just do it, I will stand up for success or failure!" Taibitu knew this very well. He was stunned for a moment and Fang said, "That's fine." Suddenly he had an idea, "It's almost the end of the first application, if you go to the signing room of the Ministry of War to find the seal of the officer, you will inevitably delay the time, why not let Zhongtang write a warrant. Wouldn't it be better for me to ride a fast horse directly to Shuntian Mansion to raise troops?"

The meaning in this is very clear: you promised to take care of me at this moment, but you can say that there is no basis for it. You can do things with just a few words.But the words were indeed reasonable, after thinking for a while, Obai said straightforwardly: "Very well, let's do it this way!" He ordered someone to bring a pen and paper.

At this moment, the door officer came in and replied with lowered hands: "Master Hu Gongshan from the imperial hospital outside, begging to see the master!"

"No!" Obai waved his hand, the gate official replied "Yes", turned and left.After a few steps, Bumbleshan suddenly called out, "Come back!"

"As far as I know," Bumble said, turning his face towards Aobai, "this person belongs to King Pingxi. He has nothing to do with the third child, nor does he have a deep relationship with us. Although his rank is small, he is right and wrong. People. People who are right and wrong visit the place of right and wrong at this time, how can you know that there is no other reason?" Seeing Oboi nod, he ordered the housekeeper, "Please come in!"

Hu Gongshan's robe fluttered in the wind, and he walked calmly and boldly into the hall, greeted Oboi with a smile, then bowed to Ji Shi and the others, stood calmly in the hall and said, "It's even better that all of you are here. In Xiahugong Mountain, coming from Baiyun Temple, I have important matters to report to Lord Zhongtang."

This is the second time for Aobai to see Hu Gongshan, the last time he had a hasty meeting in Suofu, he only knew that his martial arts were superb, but he didn't talk to him.This time, I want to talk about it.He sat at the banquet table and looked at this ugly "right and wrong man", but didn't reply immediately.But the three words "Baiyunguan" can explain the problem better than a ten-thousand-word article. It contains all his worries, anxieties and panics today.But on the surface, he looked very calm, and said with a faint smile: "I have admired you for a long time——you came from Baiyun Temple, what can you do with me?"

Hu Gongshan also looked at Oboi, and saw that he was wearing a ochre-colored lake silk robe without a tie, a pair of black satin official boots, and a string of black jade beads in his hand, showing a chic and easy demeanor, But the other hand on the back of the chair was tightly clenched, revealing the serious anxiety in his heart.

Hu Gongshan gave a dry laugh and did not answer.Obai said: "These are important ministers of the country, my good friends, if you have something to say, feel free to speak."

"That's good." Hu Gongshan said coldly, although his voice was low, he was extremely energetic, and there was a constant "buzzing" sound in the hall, "Master Murima has been captured, and her life is at stake!" Just this sentence , Jishi, Ge Chuha, and Taibitu in the hall all looked like they were shocked by the thunder.Bumbleshan claimed that he was never flustered in every major event, and he had a deep sense of self-cultivation, but he was also surprised when he heard this, and his body trembled slightly.

Aobai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Mulima is a bodyguard with swords in front of the imperial court. She is highly skilled in martial arts. Today, she has a large army and was ordered to suppress a few thieves. How can she miss it? You are a little one. Dare to play ghosts in front of this old man!" Before he finished speaking, Hu Gongshan raised his voice and said, "This is not an imperial temple, and there is no etiquette for attending the hall. Today you and I meet each other in casual clothes and talk knee-to-neck. At this time, if you talk about first-rank and sixth-rank talk, aren’t you afraid of the ridicule of the world’s insightful people? Seeing that you have no intention of eating delicious food, Jinboyu liquid is hard to swallow, and you are full of doubts, and you still talk about "high martial arts", Don't you laugh at people."

"Bold!" Seeing that he was an official with low rank, Ge Chuha dared to be so disrespectful to Ao Zhongtang, so he immediately exploded, "Who wants you to report what letter? Go back and listen to the sensibilities!"

"Who are you?" Hu Gongshan asked provocatively, "Today I'm going to meet Ao Zhongtang, you are not worthy of answering with me! Hongguang of the Ming Dynasty, Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui have all met several times before." It's rare to see such a dirty face like yours!" Among the three people he mentioned, apart from Wu Sangui, whose status was comparable to that of Oboi, the other two had distinguished backgrounds, and no one in the room could compare with them, but Hu Gongshan said lightly, there was nothing like that. Don't mind, why don't the people in the hall be moved and pale!Ge Chuha was even more embarrassed.

Seeing that there was no one to answer him, Hu Gongshan went straight to the table, picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up the "peacock" head of the cold dish "peacock", stuffed it into his mouth, sat down on the chair, and chewed When he got up, he praised as if no one else was around: "Okay, Youwei Yuanguo first! Why doesn't Ao Zhongtang let me in, Lao Hu?"

Obai and Banbulshan looked at each other for a while, then Obai poured a large toast of "Yuhuchun", handed it to Hu Gongshan, and said with a smile: "Okay, you have the style of a national scholar! See if you don't come out, pour it down!" Disrespect!" Hu Gongshan took the wine nonchalantly and drank it down, and said with a smile, "Ao Zhong Tang is not so petty!" As he spoke, he casually threw the leftover bone to the ground, when Oboi watched it carefully, he caught it firmly. It is firmly embedded in the four corner joints of the blue brick floor, and the four bricks are squeezed out of place slightly.Aobai couldn't help feeling astonished, and said with a smile, "Sir, both internal and external skills are cultivated, which is really admirable." Bumbleshan also came over and said, "Mr. Hu, we are old acquaintances!" After speaking, he also came to toast him Hu Gongshan would not refuse anyone who came, and he took up his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Hu," Aobai asked after watching him drink three glasses, "it's not that I can't trust you, my younger brother Murima is not an idle person, she led thousands of soldiers around a small shop, how could she miss and be captured ?”

"At this time and at that time, how many times have you suppressed 'thieves' and been suppressed by thieves since ancient times!" Hu Gongshan pulled up the tablecloth, wiped the grease from his mouth and hands, and took out the letter he found from Ghoshha from his bosom. After handing over the letter, he still picked up the delicacies on the table and ate them with great interest, humming incessantly: "If you get both bear's paw and fish, I'm blessed." Then he looked at Ge Chuha .Ge Chuha couldn't look down on this kind of person, so he turned his face away angrily.

Here Ao Bai read the letter by candlelight, his face became more and more serious.Bumbleshan also walked over, and when he looked carefully, it was indeed written by Namo himself.The letter said that an old man with strong martial arts had been shot to death by random arrows, and that the third uncle Murima was surrounded by the enemy, but it never mentioned whether the "oldest" was also surrounded.

"Mr. Hu," Bumble's eyes flickered, "As far as you can tell, who are the people around Chixin Island?"

While eating, Hu Gongshan replied casually: "I often go to the Shangu shop, and I know everyone well. I'm afraid it's not on the net."

Aobai said: "Then why didn't they kill my younger brother Murima?" This is indeed the finishing touch.When he said this, Obai's eyes were full of fierce light.He believes that if Kangxi is not on the island, everyone is very likely to kill Murima and break through the encirclement.Now that they neither escape nor kill anyone, this is a big doubt, without asking this point clearly, one cannot make a decision.

"Master Mu is worth money!" Hu Gongshan said with a greasy mouth, looking up at Ao Bai, "I want to exchange him for the jewel in the palm of my lord."

It was another shocking word, and the surroundings were suddenly dead silent.Ji Shi said with a gloomy face, "Sir, you really know everything. How dare you ask who you are and who sent you here?"

"Little Weizi under the third brother asked me to come here to help with this matter!" Hu Gongshan replied without hesitation.

"Third brother!" Obai asked anxiously, "Which third child?"

"Zhongtang asked the question knowingly." Hu Gongshan said with a leisurely smile, "'Lao San' is the younger brother of the eldest brother, and there is a 'Fourth' outside the gate—he doesn’t want to come in, he’s waiting there—only Zhongtang It doesn’t matter if Lao Hu just yells at you all day long? You are all familiar with Xiao Wei, so don’t you need to say more?”

Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer.Ge Chuha couldn't help jumping up, grabbed Hu Gongshan's collar and asked sharply, "Where do you know this? Who are you?"

How could Hu Gongshan put him in his eyes!After pinching the acupuncture point at the bend of his left leg, Ge Chuha knelt down on his knees with a plop.
