Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 69

Bumbleshan sat on the imperial couch with a grin, smiled and said to Ji Shi: "This fight between dragon and tiger is about the same."

"Oboi has always looked down on me, saying that I have no martial arts skills and only make fuss!" Ji Shi laughed and said, "He should know us by now."

"Why isn't Taibitu here yet?"

Ji Shidao: "Just now someone came to report that Taibitu is escorting the iron beggar, leading his men and horses, and waiting for orders in the Hall of Supreme Harmony." As he said this, he bowed his hands to Bumble, and the two of them got off the pill together.There are more than [-] guards gathered outside the Qianqing Palace, large and small.Ji Shi drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Someone is messing with the palace, let's go and rescue him!"

"Help me?" Suddenly someone in the distance laughed, "I'm afraid you are going to harm me, right?"

The two were startled, and when they looked back, Wu Liuyi came majestically from the steps behind the Palace of Preservation, dressed in a green robe and a long sword in his hand.

Bumbleshan exclaimed in surprise: "Iron beggar!" As soon as the words fell, another man in plain scarf and Confucian clothing lifted up the corner of his robe and walked down the steps. ——Who is not He Zhiming?

"Take it!" Tie Beggar waved his arm and shouted sharply.

With just this sound, hundreds of people suddenly poured out from the three halls of Tai, Zhong, and Baohe. A team with armed guns and bows, and a team with bright flags and armor, rushed down the steps—but they did not attack immediately, but calmly and firmly moved towards them. The stunned Bumbleshan drove over.

Seeing this momentum, the guards of the Qianqing Palace suddenly became confused, some abandoned their swords and fled, and some simply knelt down and begged for surrender.Bumbleshan's complexion was pale, and he thrust his sword across his neck, and was about to pull the sword violently. With a sound of "day", someone released a gong, which hit his right wrist, and the sword fell to the ground with a "dang" sound. .

The battle in Yuqing Palace intensified.

Apart from Wei Dongting who was protecting Kangxi tightly, nineteen guards plus Suo'etu, a total of twenty people, surrounded Oboi.Although Aobai didn't see a loss, he saw that his skills were not so flexible. One of them was careless, and the stubborn donkey snatched one of the iron rulers. After being stunned, Lang Shuang used his knife to pick up another iron ruler and flew away.

That Oboi was agitated for a while, he tore off his robe with a "chi--", he held a large handful of flying knives with whistles in each hand, and threw them all out with a "swipe".Only two sounds of "ding ding" were heard, and several people rushed to dodge. Hao Laosi and another guard were still stabbed in the legs, and fell to the ground with two "plops".There was also a flying knife with a screaming sound that stabbed Kangxi straight. Wei Dongting raised his arm and held it firmly in his hand, and said with a smile: "Forgive you for being stupid, you will not escape the law today! Get out of the way, I will pick up this old man Tai Chi Palm!"

It's really jealous when enemies meet each other.When he said that, all the guards had already made a gap, and Wei Dongting jumped into the circle with a stride.At this moment, Oboi just turned around to face Wei Dongting, and both of them shot out angry flames in their eyes.

Wei Dongting moved his hands together, and tapped lightly with the Rouyun Baguazhang.Oboi lightly touched it with his Tai Chi palm, he felt nothing, suddenly became alert, so he could only summon up energy to deal with the young man in front of him.He thought to himself, as long as he procrastinates for a while, it will be enough when Murima and Ge Chuha move to Bumble to reinforce the soldiers, so he is not in a hurry to win.Wei Dongting knew that he was powerful, so he didn't dare to strike lightly.Only in the gentle fighting, his physical strength was consumed.Unknowingly, Wei Dongting was forced by Aobai to retreat step by step.He suddenly yelled: "Ah!" Immediately, he spat out blood and fell backwards, causing chaos in the hall.

Seeing Wei Dongting suddenly fell to the ground, Aobai was startled for a moment, then suddenly cheered up, and laughed maniacally, "You have eaten my daughter's tea, what a reward!" Seeing that he was unprepared, two guards rushed up to him, and Ao Bai Bai opened his arms and slapped his chest, "Wow", spitting blood from the mouth, and fell to the ground.Aobai pulled out the soft steel belt from his waist in a "bass" calmly, danced a few times easily, and the hall was full of wind.He approached Kangxi with a sneer.Seeing the situation, Mu Zixu and Lang Su stepped forward to block it.Kangxi had no choice but to follow them through the pillars with his sword. The situation was very critical!
At the critical moment, Wei Dongting, who was lying on the ground and feigning death, threw himself at Oboi with a carp. Taking advantage of Oboi's defenselessness, he slapped him three times on the back with all his strength, and said in his mouth: "Don't eat my daughter!" Tea, how can you hit the head!" It turned out that he vomited blood, which was intentionally done by biting the tip of his tongue.

Oboi felt a hot and sore chest, his mouth felt salty, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.He suddenly seemed to go crazy, screaming loudly, dancing a belt in his hand into a black ball, rushing left and right, forcing all the guards to leave an empty field.After fighting for such a long time, Aobai can still fight so hard, Mu Zixu really admires his martial arts from the bottom of his heart.While fighting, he yelled: "The old thief is called back to the light, he has no stamina, fight!" All the guards were about to fight forward, Wei Dongting suddenly whistled, and the six or seven guards surrounding Oboi gave a "swipe" scattered.

Seeing the guards scattered, Obai felt strange, suddenly felt something foreign on his head, when he looked up, a large net was falling down with a "squeak", trapping him right in the middle.Aobai was in a net made of gold wire, human hair and ramie, and he couldn't use it no matter how powerful he was.He struggled left and right, only to get tighter and tighter.More than a dozen guards rushed forward, punching and kicking him, knocking him out long ago.

That Oboi's complexion was pale, his body was covered in sweat, his breath was weak, he let the guards do it, without any resistance.Kangxi, who was standing above him with a sword in his hand, looked at his miserable appearance, and felt a little pity for him. Afraid that the guards would see it, he slowly put the sword back into its sheath, and said coldly: "Just wait and see, I Here's the evidence for you!"

While talking, the gate of Yuqing Palace was heard "bang bang bang" being pounded loudly.Kangxi walked down the steps with his sword in hand, and said: "It really is Bumbleshan who came!"

Wei Dongting and more than a dozen guards immediately tensed up and stood behind Kangxi, each with a murderous look on their faces.Suo Ertu stepped forward and shouted: "Is it brother Tiebei's soldier? The emperor is here, Oboi has been captured! You retreat a little, don't startle the holy driver!" After hearing this, the people outside did not knock on the door again , It seems that he retreated.

"Xiao Weizi," Kangxi pointed to the palace wall and ordered, "Go up and have a look!"

"Strike!" Wei Dongting agreed, took a long spear from a soldier, touched the ground with one end, and gently propped it up. There was a flip in the air, and he touched the wall in the morning. He turned to Kangxi and said, "Long live, it's Wu Liu." One's soldiers have arrived!" Kangxi said happily, "Open the door quickly!" Someone had already gone up and opened the palace door with a "wow".

Outside was led by Wu Liuyi, who knelt down in black crows. Seeing Kangxi coming out of the palace imposingly, they shouted in unison like the earth shaking: "Long live!"

Kangxi stood still and glanced at everyone, his face flushed with excitement.

Gathering his mind, Kangxi stepped forward quickly, helped Wu Liuyi who was kneeling in front with his own hands, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you!" While waving his hands, he said: "Everyone is wearing armor, let's get flat!"

"Long live!"

"Long live God is setting off to drive the Qianqing Palace!" Zhang Wanqiang shouted proudly, puffing out his chest and belly.A bright yellow soft top was brought over early.Kangxi suddenly remembered, and asked, "Where's Aunt Su Ma?"

"Respond to the master," the little boy in the crowd replied, "She was frightened and slightly injured. Now the servant is resting there, and she will come up to serve in a while!"

"Little boy? Come here!"

"Zha!" Xiao Maozi rushed forward and said, "You servant, Xiao Maozi, is serving the master!"

"Get up, how did Aunt Su Ma get hurt?"

Murima, who was kneeling aside, was always wondering about the cause of Ge Chuha's death. When Kangxi asked, she also pricked up her ears to listen.Unexpectedly, Kangxi repelled the crowd, and ordered people to take Murima to the guard room on both sides of the Qianqing Gate and put him under custody.

It turned out that Ge Chuha took Lagu Su Ma to a secluded place behind the imperial tea room, and wanted to chop off the matter with a single knife, but La Gu Su Ma struggled desperately, her face flushed red, seeing that although she was messy, she was Very charming. "Seeing that the matter may not be successful, with this beauty in my arms, why don't I take advantage of it for a while?" He dragged Lagu Su Ma to the back of the big stove in the tea room, pressed her to the ground, and untied her little coat with his hands.Aunt Su Ma was afraid that she would call out and alarm the Empress Dowager, so she didn't speak, but tried her best to resist.

Since Xiao Maozi became the tea eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he still often comes to the tea room to fetch water.Just came back that day, and was doing some things in the room where I used to live. I didn't feel strange when I heard two people fighting and groaning behind me. I turned around and saw that it was a guard who was holding a maid to behave rudely.He tiptoed forward and saw that his benefactor, Aunt Su Ma, was under him, and he was furious.

He held his breath, turned back hastily, and filled a large Jun porcelain teapot with cold water.When I went back, I saw that Aunt Su Ma's clothes had been torn to pieces, and she had no strength left.Ge Chuha was also sweating and panting from exhaustion.Then Xiao Maozi held the teapot high with both hands, tried his best to aim at the back of Ge Chuha's head, and slammed it down.

There was a "poof", just like hitting a ripe watermelon, and the black, purple, red, and white hairs of Ge Chuha's head burst all over the ground...

He leaned back, rolled his eyes, kicked his legs twice and then stopped moving.Xiao Maozi was not afraid because he was angry, and he didn't know if he was dead, so he went back and brought two iron pots of boiling water, and poured Ge Chuha's head and feet.Then he went to help La Aunt Su Ma, who was half unconscious, and placed her on his bed to rest.

"I'll credit you later!" Kangxi felt relieved when he heard that Aunt Su Ma was fine. He stepped into the sedan chair and ordered loudly, "Get up and drive to the Qing Palace!"

Earth-shattering events happened in Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace, and the whole palace almost turned upside down, but in the Wenhua Palace not far from Yuqing Palace, Ye Bilong and Xiong Cilu were still playing blindfold chess leisurely.

"Two into three!"

"Five to four."

"Cannon five flat four!"

"Che Qi Ping Si."

"Five scholars advance to four!"

"Mr. Xiong!" Ye Bilong laughed, "Sell new silk in February, sell new grains in May, heal the sores in front of your eyes, gouge out your heart and flesh - how many chariots do you have to fill them? I will always beat you today." It's a round!"

"Why don't you finish memorizing a poem?" Xiong Cilu said lightly, "Also——I wish the king's heart will turn into a bright candle, not to shine on Luo Qiting, but on a dilapidated house!"

"Why does the big chess play involve this?" Ye Bilong laughed, "I only take what is useful."

"Everything in the world is like a chess game." Xiong Cilu said with a smile, "Yi Gong, you have to think clearly!"

"Well, there seems to be something off topic in your words, please explain clearly."

"Yes!" Xiong Cilu got up slowly, and sighed, "My lord captured the traitor Oboi in the palace today. I'm afraid the plan has succeeded at this time! In the past seven years, you have turned a blind eye to Oboi's misdemeanors, and you know what is wrong, but you dare not speak out. Today is about to 'candle the house of ruins', do you dare not seek 'the king's heart'?" After speaking, he wanted to get up and leave .

Ye Bilong was already dripping with sweat, seeing that he was about to leave, he quickly grabbed the hem of his robe, "Mr. Xiong, you know me, and you have no dissent towards the lord. I beg you to speak a fair word for me!"

Seeing him like this, Xiong Cilu remembered the friendship of his colleagues, sighed and said, "Don't you hear that it is better to ask yourself than to ask others?"

"Thank you for your advice!" Ye Bilong bowed deeply, walked out of the Wenhua Palace, and ran towards the Qianqing Palace.Seeing that there were many swords and guns near Jingyun Gate, Guo hurriedly handed over a sign and said: "The guilty minister, Ye Bilong, please see the emperor!"

Not long after, I heard a call from the Qianqing Gate: "Xuan Ni Bilong is on the palace!" Ye Bilong came to the Qianqing Palace and knelt down on the ground, peeking at him, there was another person kneeling beside him, but it was Prince Kang Jieshu.

Seeing that both of them had arrived at the hall, Kangxi ordered first: "Jie Shu, get up first!" Then he asked, "Ye Bilong, do you know your crime?"

"Slave...convicted!"

"You have several crimes, tell me and listen to me!" Seeing that he pleaded guilty and was sick and emaciated, Kangxi felt that he was very pitiful.

Ye Bilong replied: "As an auxiliary minister, the slave was entrusted with a lonely and important task by the late emperor, and he was ineffective in performing his duties, which caused the thief official Aobai to be unscrupulous and bully the emperor to disrupt the country. Today, Zisheng is arbitrarily determined, and Miaomo is planning to cut off the culprit and make it real for the world. The blessing of the common people. The slave is ashamed and ashamed, begging for the Holy Order."

"Smart words!" Before Ye Bilong finished speaking, Kangxi cut off his words, "Ye Bilong, since you know that Oboi is a traitor, why do you keep silent? Why do you keep saying nothing when the bandits encroach on land and change fields repeatedly? No? Sukesaha impeached the bandit in order to protect the court, why did you become an adulterer with Aobai and kill Zhongliang?" Hearing this, not only Ye Bilong kowtowed to plead guilty, but also Jie Shu who stood beside him Bloodless.

"Prince Kang Jieshu!"

"The slave is here!" Jie Shu was startled, and quickly knelt down.Because he was too flustered, the corner of his robe was not lifted up in time, and he almost tripped.Without waiting for Kangxi to ask questions, he said in a trembling voice, "I know the crime myself. The crime is as serious as a mountain. The crime of the slave is more serious than that of Yebilong. I always ask the emperor to punish me severely!"

After all, he is a relative of the royal family. Kangxi has seen him since he was a child, and sometimes he would hold Kangxi on his lap to play. Jue, get rid of Ye Bilong's Dingdai Hualing! You go!"

"Pull!" The two servants came over immediately and took off the tops of their feathers.The two kowtowed their heads to thank each other again, and went down to the palace sadly.

Looking at the two people's backs, Kangxi suddenly remembered that he was about to choose Ye Bilong's granddaughter as his concubine, and thought of his meritorious service in Wuhu, so he shouted: "Come back!"

Jie Shu and Ye Bilong, who had already stepped down, heard the decree, turned around and came back, bowed their waists and knelt down, and replied tremblingly: "The servant is here."

Kangxi let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "According to the crimes of the two of you, dismissal is already a light punishment. Gu Nianer and others are either relatives of the royal family or veterans of the previous court. They have made great contributions to the imperial court. A chance for redemption—order you two to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate Oboi. If there is any more favoritism, you will be punished more severely." Having said this, he glanced at the two people at his feet.Jieshu and Ye Bilong were already in tears, they fell down and said: "The emperor treats his ministers so generously, he must try his best to repay them."

Kangxi saw the two of them retreating, and called out again: "Wei Dongting!"

Seeing the call, Wei Dongting hurriedly stepped out of the shift, a thousand sons stepped down, and responded loudly: "The servant is here!"

"Er Zuo's life is meritorious," Kangxi said in a deep voice, "enfeoffed as Bei'an Bo, walks with a knife in front of the emperor, and wears a yellow jacket." He paused and said, "Decree: Jin Feng Mingzhu is the first-class bodyguard, and walks in front of the emperor." The rest of the meritorious personnel will be discussed and played by Wei Dongting."

"Wu Liuyi!" Kangxi shouted again after Wei Dongting retreated.

"The minister is here!" Wu Liuyi also got out of work and knelt down.

"I will use it to you, and now I will reward you with the title of minister of the Ministry of War to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry, and wait for my future order." Kangxi paused and said, "You can jointly try the Oboi case with Prince Jie Shukang and E Bilong!"

"I command the decree!" Wu Liuyi kowtowed and replied, "I still have feelings. The aide, He Zhiming, has made great contributions in punishing the rebels. He has obeyed the edict and appointed him as the head of the Ministry of War. He has been added the title of servant. Please rule that the lord Declare the edict!"

"Understood, let the Ministry of Officials handle it." Kangxi stood up after speaking.Now that the great success has been accomplished, he is anxious to see the Empress Dowager.
