Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 93 Lafayette is sick and lying in the Palace of Compassion
"Fifty birthday, oh, I remembered it too!" Kangxi couldn't help laughing, "The empress dowager's illness doesn't matter, it's time to celebrate her birthday as usual! I originally said that he would write a letter to him on his birthday, maybe they That’s what I’m talking about.” After finishing speaking, he stood up, went to the premise of the book, pondered for a while, and wrote four big characters, “This is a pearl of appreciation. You go to pass the decree, saying that I can’t come in person, and give him three days off !"

When Li Dequan went out, Kangxi walked out of the hall, saw that it was Wudan Suwei, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Go to the study and call Xiong Cilu, I have a secret order for him!"

Mingzhu's fiftieth birthday was very lively.He entered Beijing at the age of 24, begging for food from outside the customs, and almost froze to death outside He Guizhu's Yuepeng shop. His 40th birthday coincided with the tense day when Kangxi seized the palace and removed Oboi. He only invited Wu Ciyou and Wei Dongting to eat. A few glasses of water and wine. At the age of 20, the imperial court was in full swing with Wu Sangui in Hunan. He stayed up late with Kangxi to read the military newspaper, so busy that he forgot.There is nothing wrong in the world at this time, and it is time for Daqing.He has lived in officialdom for more than 12 years, and he has been a prime minister for [-] years. He has the emperor's favorite family, and has countless disciples and former officials. Anyone who is involved in the relationship, which one should not be funny?Thousands of wedding invitations were printed, and after they were sent out, there was an endless stream of gift-givers. In the courtyard in front of the Dafu Prince's Mansion, all kinds of gifts had already piled up to fill the courtyard and corridors.

At noon, all kinds of cars and sedan chairs were packed up from the entrance of the alley to the gate of the Wangfu. Mingzhu went inside and asked his wife, daughter-in-law and maid, and the old lady to receive the officials and family members.Before the buttocks were seated, the family members rushed over to report: "Suo Zhongtang, Xiong Zhongtang and Gao Xiang have arrived at the door, please welcome me!" After leaving the courtyard, the officials chatting in the corridor greeted them. Seeing that the three civilians had already entered the second gate, they hurriedly cupped their hands and said with a smile: "I'm on duty? Don't worry about my brother, please come and sit in the room. It’s a good time for you to come here!”

"It's rare to have half a day's leisure in Fusheng," Suo'etu laughed, and said hello to the surrounding officials, "It's three days cheaper for you!" Xiong Cilu also laughed: "Fifty knows the destiny, and the pearl is not easy today! Gao Shiqi used a folding fan to protect his chest, shook it lightly, and said: "We don't have the courtesy to send you off. After eating a mouthful and leaving, the master will discuss matters later—didn't the master give you the letter? Where is it? Let's pay our respects!"

Mingzhu hurriedly led the three of them to the main hall, and said in her mouth: "Although I don't accept your gift, I'm afraid it will be inevitable in the future, and I'm afraid you will be poor? When it comes to rewards, it is really a great grace, but how can I deserve it?" Let’s get up—that’s not already hanging in the center of the main hall, it’s just that it’s too late to make a plaque. Please mount it for now. Everyone please—” The four people came in talking and laughing. A banner mounted on bright yellow silk reads:

Ryosuke Ryobe
A stroke of official script, elegant and powerful.Gao Shiqi put his hands together and praised first: "Wonderful! Dong Xiangguang has a spirit but no charm!" Suo Etu and Xiong Cilu also envied each other.Seeing that the guests had arrived, Mingzhu clapped her hands and called the housekeeper, "Let's open!"

As a result, more than 100 tables of rich food were lined up from the nave to the hatchback. Thousands of officials, hairpins and tassels, some yelled and drank, some whispered, some joked, some toasted, and there were ear punishments. It was really lively.At this moment, Mingzhu felt indescribably proud, and she held the wine pot to the table to persuade people to drink, and ordered someone to call the family opera troupe to sing, but was stopped by Suo'etu and said: "They are all old-fashioned Shangshou Tune, who is patient to listen! Here are Gao Shiqi, Li Guangdi, Zha Shenxing, Xu Qianxue, either champions or Hanlin scholars, wouldn’t it be great to ask them to help out?” Li Guangdi was sitting on the second seat in the main hall, he had already heard it, and hurriedly He shook his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, don't make things difficult for me. Xiong Dongyuan and I are in the same way. It's okay to make a poem. How can I sing a song? This broken voice will make everyone laugh!" , and booed: "Rongcun sings the best, we have all heard it! Could it be possible to lose face for Suo Zhongtang?"

But Li Guangdi couldn't help it, so he had to stand up with a red face and bow, and said: "It's not good to spoil everyone's happiness, so I have to show my ugly face. Don't blame me if I can't sing well!" After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat.He has always been dignified and serious, with no smiles or words. Seeing him like this, everyone in the main hall put down their chopsticks and listened quietly. Li Guangdi had no choice but to sing:
There is no rolling curtain in front of the quiet hall, and you can't get tired of seeing the strange flowers and grasses.Spending days before and under the moon, I lingered alone, and when I wanted to see you, I was afraid that you would spout nonsense.Put a book, light a smoke, the heart only wishes to be free to play the strings under the window, and half-heartedly envy the Penglai gods...

Although he sang earnestly, his voice was not funny, and the Mandarin Mandarin of Fujianese was awkward and weird, and everyone laughed when they heard it.Gao Shiqi said: "Li Anxi's methods are indeed extraordinary, but Lao Gao's heart is itching to be shocked, I won't wait for you to remind me, I will play a perfunctory song!" Then he sang:

A branch of hydrangea is fresh and juicy, and the bees are also dancing, and the butterflies are fluttering, flapping their wings and stirring up into a ball.Mingguan Lique hung a silk whip, one on the left and one on the right, I'm afraid you, Li Guangdi, will find a leisure time, and you will be as serious as sitting at a five-deer banquet, cursing in your heart: with your old man coherent……

Before the song was over, everyone was laughing away.Suo'etu couldn't help but spit out the wine, pointed at Gao Shiqi, and said with a broken smile: "It's really hard to change the country, and I haven't listened to you scolding people for the past two years. Could it be that I'm drunk today? "Mingzhu's very smart person, listening to the two of them mocking and teasing each other as if they were making a song, hurriedly persuaded him to drink, and Cha Shenxing used chopsticks as a festival, and he sang in an orderly manner:
Don't worry about the beauty of the mandarin duck mirror, and don't just pick the lanterns every night at the spring window.Because I raised my arms, because I reached the end of the world, because the yellow chrysanthemums were all in bloom, but I didn’t return home?
"Why go back home?" Xu Qianxue heard Zha Shenxing's complaints and knew that he had wine. He often walked around under the Pearl Gate, so he had to keep going. He laughed and said, "Aren't you proud? The Holy One bestowed you with an honorary title." "Yanbo Diaofu', and he chose to be a bachelor in the CI library, who can compare with this blessing? Compared with your same year, they are still nesting there doing Chinese calligraphy, copying paintings for others, what's the point?"

He originally wanted to comfort him with good intentions, but Jin Xianting, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was sitting next to him was from the middle school. He couldn't hear it, so he said with a smile: "Old Xu, you are the number one scholar, and my brother admires your knowledge. The former Yali was returned. Lu, I burned the Yimen, and I took someone to check and repair it, Li Wenhan from the Imperial Academy came and said something right, but no one came out, can you?" Then he looked up at Xu Qianxue, and read:

The Ministry of Water caught fire, and Jin Sikong started construction
Singing the tune leads to the pairing, and the questions are all five elements. Everyone here is a master of this, and they can't help but be full of interest. Even Xiong Cilu, Gao Shiqi and Li Guangdi frowned and bowed their heads in thought.Cha Shenxing was sober at the moment, hearing what Jin Xianting said about the Shanglian was really embarrassing, so he frowned and pondered.Gao Shiqi swept his eyes and saw a young man in his 20s sitting in the corner of the hall smiling and saying nothing. Knowing that he already had it, he walked over and asked, "Your Majesty seems to have a plan in mind, why don't you tell us about it and enjoy it together?" Seeing that Gao Shiqi didn't know him, Mingzhu hurriedly came over and introduced: "This is Zhang Tingyu, the eldest son of Grand Master Zhang Luosong, who entered the Imperial Academy the year before last."

"Yes, there are." Zhang Tingyu was a young man with a refined temperament and a refined temperament. He was dressed in a gray cloth robe that was washed clean. When he saw the famous Gaotu Qiyu asking for advice, he hurriedly stood up and said, "It's just that I have to ask you to do the middle work." The adults in the book forgive me, so I dare to say." Everyone had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and a few people laughed and said: "I don't hide from the text, just say it, we are not to blame!" Zhang Tingyu shyly pursed his lips and smiled, Fang said:

People from the north meet the south, what is Mr. Zhongshu

Everyone laughed again, so they sat down to drink and laugh, all exaggerating that Tingyu was worthy of a scholar's son, and she was indeed quick-witted.For a while, the housekeeper came in and said: "Minister Ming, Mr. Guo Xiu, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is here to celebrate his birthday!"At this moment, Guo Xiu was already wearing a brand-new Shenyang patch, and the sapphire on the top of the big hat was shining brightly, looking very energetic.

As soon as this person who never went to banquets appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the officials in the room. Even Suo'etu and Gao Shiqi were startled and stood up.

"Minister Ming, congratulations on your fiftieth birthday!" Guo Xiu walked in proudly, cupped his hands and bowed to the ground, and said, "Guo was late and disrespectful, please beg for forgiveness!"

Seeing that he was neither yin nor yang, neither humble nor overbearing, Mingzhu didn't know what the reason was, she weighed her heart, bowed her waist to return the gift, and smiled: "How dare you be? Please take a seat, everyone is having fun at the moment!"

"That's even better." Guo Xiu glanced at the crowd, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, unfolded them, and said with a smile, "I also know how to write. A gentleman loves people with virtue. My articles don't flatter. Don't blame me!" With a light cough, he read:

Guo Xiuzuo, please ask Mingzhu for corruption, corrupt law, forming a party, selfishness, slandering the country and the people. En, entrusted with a non-secondary task, with high hopes, should be diligent, prudent, respectful, thrifty and loving the people, loyal to the master, and repay the situation with a plan.The person...

It turned out to be a bullet to impeach Pearl!Everyone was stunned and stunned!
