Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 65
When Tie Gai gave an order, the generals immediately stood up and withdrew from their seats, standing on both sides.Several school lieutenants behind who were protecting the Wang Ming flag roared "Zha——" and slowly lifted out an exquisite dragon pavilion carved with red sandalwood.In the middle is a sapphire blue order flag with a bright yellow border, with a yellow "Ling" written in Manchu and Chinese characters on it. This is the king's order flag specially bestowed on Wu Liuyi by Emperor Shizu Daxing.As soon as the dragon pavilion fell, Liu Canjun took the lead and sang loudly: "Long live!" He knelt down with a prick, and the rest of the people followed suit, knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, listening to orders quietly.

"Li Yiping, Huang Kesheng, Zhang Yifei, and Liu Cang, four of them, acted as traitors, formed cliques for personal gain, messed up the army and the government, and plotted wrongdoings-the left and right were taken down!"

"tie--"

Before the four of them could figure out what was going on, several school captains who looked like wolves and tigers came up viciously, grabbed one by two, skillfully twisted their arms back, and were bound tightly in the blink of an eye.

Li Yiping is the real lack of lieutenant general, with the same rank as Wu Liuyi.At this time, he was intimidated by Wu Liuyi's power. When he woke up, he jumped up suddenly, twisted his neck and asked, "You said that we have been serving treacherous men and plotting against others. What evidence do you have? It’s not that easy to order you to kill someone!”

"Search for them!" Wu Liuyi ignored them, pointing at the captured people and ordering Ghoshha.

A search will understand.In addition to a sharp dagger, Li Yiping also had a pack of powdered medicine on his body.Wei Dongting has followed Shi Longbiao for several years, and he has been fascinated by it, and he knows it is poison at a glance.Smiling and sitting down, he took a deep breath.Looking at Zhang Yifei and Liu Cang, they were both wearing inner armor for body protection, and each had a short sharp knife nestled in it.It goes without saying that they had already agreed upon it before going to the banquet.However, nothing was found on Huang Kesheng's body, and he stood there blankly without saying a word.

Wu Liuyi suddenly flew into a rage, and said with a sneer, "Mr. He, take out the list and read it. Read one and take one!" Take out the list and read it aloud.A total of eleven people were tied up like rice dumplings by the school captains.After a body search, there were actually eight people with murder weapons!

"Okay!" Wu Liuyi asked with a smirk, "It's considered a thief to come to the banquet with such things in your arms! What else do you have to say?"

"The dagger is for self-defense, and the poison is used to poison the rabbit!" Li Yiping shouted loudly, "Even if he came to kill you, is it a conspiracy?"

"Hmph!" Wu Liuyi sneered, and his anger came out from his dantian, making him even more fierce.He walked up to Li Yiping with his sword and said: "I wanted to take your head, but you are not as good as a rabbit when you die. If you keep your tongue, it will be of some use—come on!"

"Zha!" The captain in the corridor responded thunderously.

Wu Liuyi suddenly raised his sword, stabbed horizontally, and the long sword pierced Zhang Yifei and Liu Cang's waist and hips.With a scream, the two fell over with a puff—then pulled out the bloody sword, easily wiped the sole of the boot back and forth, and inserted it into the sheath calmly, "Take the corpse, I will give it to them tomorrow!" The family members sent 3000 taels to the instrument."

All the generals in the hall saw that he was extremely ferocious, and he was ordered by the king to behead the general, so no one dared to come out to persuade him.

"General Huang!" Wu Liuyi turned his face and said with a sinister smile, "Your affairs are unknown, so go back to the back room to rest for a while. Brothers of the Guerrilla Chief Qian, please go to the west wing, and I will reserve another seat for you. Those without weapons will follow General Huang!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, dragging corpses, leading people, and cleaning them up in a flash .

"It's time for business, let's continue drinking!" Wu Liuyi stretched his waist and said with a chuckle, "Everyone, come on, come on, it's none of your business, let's have wine!"

Even though the generals under his command are all murderous generals, when has he seen such a battle?For a moment, it was like eating the Queen Mother Lu's banquet, the flesh was jumping and the heart was frightened, and they returned to their seats with weak legs.He Zhiming, the behind-the-scenes adviser, was dazzled just like Wei Dongting. Now he calmed down, raised his glass and said, "Generals! Cheers to your young master's longevity!"

When Fang said something, suddenly a voice came in from outside: "The imperial decree has arrived!" Wu Liu said to the crowd with a smile: "I don't think I'll come so fast! You just sit and drink in peace, and I'll take the decree!" Order: "Fire the cannon to welcome the order!"

There were three "dong dong dong" horns fired, and Taibitu came in with a smile on his face, and said, "Tie Gong, I have become a magpie to report the news today. I will issue an edict to Taishi Ao in the morning, and I will give it to you in the evening." Come to deliver the imperial decree, we will ask for a cup of wedding wine later!"

Wu Liuyi laughed loudly and said: "Naturally!" Then he ordered the shop to set up the incense table.All the generals inside could still eat and drink, they all stopped their cups and listened carefully.

Taibitu saw Wu Liuyi's amiable face, showing no signs of nervousness, and his heart was already half relieved.After waiting for the incense case to be set up, he walked to the top, stood facing south, and slowly unfolded the imperial edict and read:

〖Decree from the Shang: Wu Liuyi was the real leader of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War was lacking, and added the title of Minister, and gave his eyes Hualing.The remaining nine admirals are missing, and Li Yiping will take over temporarily.This! 〗

All the generals in the hall were shocked when they heard this decree.Li Yiping, who was tied up in the east wing, was secretly happy, but his mouth was full of walnuts, so he couldn't make a sound.

Wu Liuyi kowtowed to accept the letter, and didn't bother to read it. He smiled and said to Taibitu: "It's business, let's have a wedding. Come, let Lord Tai clean up the dust!"

A school lieutenant came out with a plate of wine in both hands.Taibitu stood up to drink a cup, and said with a smile: "Master Li, please come out, let's have a congratulations together." The words were not finished, but suddenly stopped, it turned out that Wu Liuyi was reading the imperial edict, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"Taigong!" Wu Liuyi weighed the edict with one hand and asked, "Why isn't it written by the emperor himself?"

"Except for the special decree, how can I write it myself? It was all drafted by the Hanlin, and then handed over to the emperor's study for his seal." Taibitu said in amazement, "How many brains do I have, how dare I use a fake edict to deceive the emperor?"

"That's not right!" Wu Liuyi suddenly changed his face, his eyes widened strangely, and even his voice was extremely harsh, he turned to greet the generals who were drinking in the hall: "Come out!"

The generals were confused by what happened tonight, when they heard the shouts, they all came out one by one, bowed their heads and stood in the corridor.

"I have a message, all generals listen carefully!" Wu Liuyi said loudly, and took out a secret edict from his bosom and said, "Fire the cannon to receive the order!" After a while, three loud bangs were heard.Where the flames and smoke rose, the west wing room had been blown to the ground, and the eight guerrilla masters who came to drink with murder weapons had been reduced to ashes!All the generals in the corridor were all frightened, and they fell down on the ground and shouted loudly: "Long live!"

Wu Liuyi read out the secret edict in public, and shouted: "The emperor wrote the secret edict to me, and I will be the admiral of the nine gates. I will not accept the edict if I don't obey my own handwritten edict! Today, Taibitu's servant came to issue an edict, but he went to the study room. So, this is strange!" He said and passed the two edicts to the generals: "Look at you all!"

Taibitu was so frightened that his legs trembled, he quickly laughed and said: "I don't know that the emperor has this secret edict. I must have made a mistake in the study. I will check it later and it will be clear. Wu Gong will not obey it tonight." It doesn't matter if it's an imperial edict."

"Mr. Tai, don't you know that I, Wu, is called Iron Beggar?" Wu Liuyi said with a smile, "An 'iron' person has a heart like iron, and a 'beggar' person has nothing to ask for. Now that you have come, go It's not that easy!"

"I'm an official of the Ministry of War. No matter how powerful you are, you are my subordinate. What will happen?" Taibitu knew that he couldn't be kind, and his attitude became tough.

"It's not too bad," Wu Liuyi said with a smile, "you and General Li have been together, and you have to endure for a while in the east wing of our mansion. Tomorrow, the matter is clarified, and I will make an apology to you!" He waved, "Catch it!"

"Bold!" Taibitu, who was actually the Minister of the Ministry of War, yelled loudly, and several school captains looked at each other in blank dismay, froze and did not dare to make a move.The iron beggar was furious, he took off his sword with a swipe and held it in his hand, shouting loudly: "Capture it!"

"Slow down!" Wei Dongting walked out of the hall with a grin, "Please write a note to Ao Zhongtang, the Thai servant."

"What to write?" Taibitu asked in a trembling voice seeing that Wei Dongting was also here, knowing that the situation was over.

"You write," Wei Dongting raised his hand, and a young servant in the hall took out a pen and inkstone and laid it on the steps, "write down the eight words 'the beggar's business is already harmonious, act according to plan'." Taibitu was helpless, He had to write it several times with trembling hands, before Wei Dongting smiled with satisfaction and said to the generals: "The brothers are too gentle, if the Thai servant goes in like this, it will make General Li jealous, please settle down."

Tie Gai only nodded, and the captains followed Li Yiping's example and bundled him to the east wing.

After the treatment is completed, the sky will be bright, which is the time when the five drums are exhausted.Time was running out, Wei Dongting said to Wu Liuyi with a smile: "The general is really quick to do things, but there is one more thing, I need the general's help."

"what's up?"

"In addition to doing as we agreed the night before, Mr. He has to take a dangerous trip."

"Me?" He Zhiming was a little baffled when he saw himself, but when Wei Dongting shook the note in his hand, he immediately understood.After hesitating, he murmured, "I'm afraid I'm not up to the task?"

"Your scheming is very careful, this matter must be yours." Wei Dongting smiled, "After the edict, you will be the head of the Ministry of War, and you will be rewarded with the title of servant. Can you see the master empty-handed?"

He Zhiming said: "It's not that I don't dare to go, Oboi is the most suspicious person, I'm afraid that after repeated questioning, I will miss the important matter of the Lord."

"Zhiming!" Wu Liuyi said with emotion, "I've already put my eyes on it, and it's time for you to "kill the robbery". Don't be suspicious, don't be soft-hearted. Whether you succeed or fail depends on one action!"

After He Zhiming heard this, he arched his hands high and said: "The brother is reluctant to obey his fate!" After speaking, he went to change into a green clothes, put a note on his sleeve and bowed farewell.
