The fifty-second chapter: The Palace of Knowing the Destiny issued a will, protecting the virtuous minister's fish eyes
Kangxi's head was wrapped with a yellow handkerchief, and he was lying sideways on the hot kang. His face was as usual, but the left half of his body was hemiplegic, and his mouth was a little crooked. Seeing Gao Shiqi come in, he ordered everyone to go out, and Fang said: "You are a spirit."
Yu Qihuang's technique can lead to the road of life and death. In recent years, you have withdrawn from the study and concentrated more on medicine. Some people say that you can judge life and death, and it is as efficacious as a god. Since I have no use, I don't pay much attention to it. I have this disease and consciously have nothing to do with it.
It was very different in the past. I want to ask you honestly, how many days do I have left? Don’t be afraid, just keep it short-term. Living longer is my profit, and I will never offend you."
"Master..." Gao Shiqi's face was so pale that there was no blood at all. He nodded repeatedly and choked out: "Why do you say this? My heart is broken! At the banquet that day, I saw that my master was about to become ill. It was really unfortunate.
As expected. I also saw that my master's condition is not good. What I'm most afraid of is the past few days. The master has recovered and is slowly being treated. His life is limitless! Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with your life!" Kangxi stretched out his hand.
On the right hand, Gao Shiqi stood up and said with a smile, "People talk about life and death, but wise men don't do it, let alone you? What you said is reasonable. But I have many important things that must be dealt with and arranged well. I cannot stick to routine.
.This is about the country and the country, so you have to get rid of conventional ideas and help me in the end!"
Gao Shiqi lowered his head deeply and raised it after a long time, with tears streaming down his face, and he slowly stretched out a finger.
"One year?"
Gao Shiqi shook his head.
"A month?"
Gao Shiqi shook his head.
"So... ten days?" Kangxi's face turned pale.
Gao Shiqi said: "When every ten years comes, the Holy One will treat you with peace of mind, and all the people in the world will be blessed. After one year of danger, there will still be ten years of holy life. After this, I dare not speak nonsense..."
"Oh..." Kangxi pondered for a moment, feeling relieved in his heart. He stared at Gao Shiqi and said, "How old are you this year?" Gao Shiqi said hurriedly: "My canine teeth are sixty and two." Kangxi nodded and said, "Forget it.
Old man who comes to me, you are still young. I intend to use you back to the study to do some work. What do you think?"
Gao Shiqi had already seen through the situation of the DPRK. He even wanted to resign as the official of the National History Museum. How could he be willing to wade into this muddy water again? He sighed and said: "I am not afraid of the emperor's ridicule. I have long been obsolete, and my past ambitions have all turned into ashes.
How can I be Feng's wife again and control the situation of the current dynasty? I have devoted myself to the classics these years and have become a silverfish. I don't dare to be shy and miss the important things of the emperor! Please check it silently, your Majesty. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart.
!”
"Go ahead." Seeing Gao Shiqi's sincerity and fear, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh, "You have your own difficulties. When Tong Guowei was in power, it was often difficult for you, but Yinreng also said a fair word for you.
.Although Guowei is not here now, I think it will be no different if he is here! The study is a place that changes with people. When I am prosperous, it will also be prosperous, and when I am declining, it will also decline. I know it in my heart! Go back and work in peace,
If you want to see me, you can hand me the sign at any time."
Watching Gao Shiqi dragging his feet out, Kangxi felt a pang of regret in his heart: Gao Shiqi, a versatile and charming man, could become so depressed. This shows that the party struggle is formidable!
One day, Ma Qi came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has come in to say hello. Do you see him?"
"No!" Kangxi said angrily, "——The other brothers were there when I was dying a few days ago, but he was sick. Now he has come to his senses and he is well!" Ma Qi hurriedly agreed.
He shouted, and when he was about to go out, Kangxi changed his mind and sighed: "Oh... just ask him to come in."
It took a long time for Yinhu to come in. He was not deliberately slow. On the road from Donghua Gate to Yangxin Hall, he met too many officials who came to pay Kangxi's greetings. He himself was also "sick" and was in trouble.
People still want to greet him when they see him. These people he saved from Yinzhen and Yinzhen in the past are now his pillars, and he can't treat him lightly, so he delayed for a long time. When he was about to enter the Yangxin Palace, he saw Zhang Tingyu
Kneeling aside, Xing Nian and other eunuchs were supporting Kangxi. Yinzhen was kneeling on the Kang with one leg and was giving medicine to the emperor. Yinzhen knelt down quietly, and when Yinzhen stepped back, he said politely: "My lord, minister."
Yinzhu respectfully greets the Holy Spirit!" After saying that, he kowtowed calmly.
"Get up..." Kangxi looked tired, stared at Yinhu with deep eyes, and said, "I heard that you were in poor health a few days ago? How are you now?" Yinhu said with a smile: "I am as sick as a dog or horse.
I dare not worry about the Holy Heart. My son and I have already met each other. When I first heard that Ama Holy Bow was disobeying the peace, I was frightened and worried. I fainted. I only saw each other today..." Kangxi nodded and said after a long time: "This is father and son.
Well, I wonder what kind of medicine you are using now? I gave you a medicine last winter, but later said it was not very useful. I wanted to give you another medicine, but I was afraid that it would not be suitable for your condition, so I did not dare to send it to you."
After hearing this, Yinsu couldn't help being startled. After a long while, he kowtowed and said, "My father has given me a gift, but my son dare not say goodbye. What's more, Amma is both a king and a father! Please omit the word 'dare not', Amma."
This is really a non-speculative sentence. Kangxi was silent for a while, thought about it, smiled and said: "People say that the fourth child is picky, but I can't think of you as caring. When it comes to Jiujiuyi, you are my son, and you have always been smart and generous.
, I feel sorry for you in my heart. Since you are sick, stop thinking about trivial matters. If you want something, just ask He Zhuer to come in and tell me." Yinhu also felt that he had nothing to say, so he kowtowed and said: "It's heaven outside.
It's already getting hot, and burning the kang in this room is becoming more and more unbearable. Your Majesty alone is responsible for the good fortune of all the people in the world, so you should take care of yourself. My son is getting stronger, so he will come in to serve you every day."
When Kangxi saw him kowtow to say goodbye, he stopped and asked, "Are you going back?" Yinsu hurriedly turned around and bowed and said, "My son wants to come in to pay his respects to his mother. What else can I say to you?" Seeing Kangxi nodding speechlessly, Fang Xi
He slowly withdrew.
"The dangers of mountains and rivers are in the heart, and the strictness of the city is in the chest!" Kangxi looked at Yinhu's back and thought secretly, suddenly thinking of Gao Shiqi's words: If you really have ten years to live, everything is different. But Gao Shiqi "
The four words "One Year's Risk" were chasing him silently like a nightmare that could not be driven away no matter what. Kangxi was lost in thought for a while and said in a daze: "Go back... to Changchun Garden."
The driver shouted softly: "Du!" Eight healthy mules pulled the sick and broken Kangxi away from the Forbidden City. Kangxi was half lying on the soft couch in the camel cart, feeling at a loss in his heart. He didn't know if he could return to the palace after leaving.
Huh? Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, who were waiting at the side, pretended to be calm on their faces, but they were inexplicably panicked in their hearts - none of the imperial doctors dared to say anything, but after these few days of waiting, they could see people's flickering eyes and ambiguous expressions.
As they spoke, they had already made it clear in their hearts that the deadline had come and the holy life was not long! The position of the crown prince was uncertain, and it was frightening to think about it. If the story of Duke Huan of Qi happened, not only would they be defeated at this time, but their reputation would also be ruined in future generations! The two of them would be ruined.
They stared blankly at Kangxi. The old emperor's heroic demeanor, bright decisions, and generous benevolence had given them so much comfort and calmness! In an instant, they all turned into misty clouds...
"Stop..." Kangxi said.
"Long live!" The two people hurriedly leaned forward, and Ma Qi said: "We haven't reached Changchun Garden yet!" Zhang Tingyu hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of Kangxi's mouth with a silk handkerchief and said: "Long live young master, don't be impatient. Return to Changchun Garden,
Spring and Jingming, good health and good health, and he will recover in a few days."
Kangxi smiled faintly and said: "...Where have you been?" Zhang Tingyu said: "Just out of the West Gate." Kangxi nodded slightly and said: "Help me sit down for a while..."
Zhang and Ma hurriedly stepped forward to hold up Kangxi's arms and sat up. Kangxi's bright eyes looked through the glass window for a while. Outside, the wheat was sprouting, the cauliflower was yellow, the willows were like smoke, and the minister of state was standing there.
, the party attached to Yinfeng did not realize it until his death. In the distance, there was a dark forest of Berlin, which was the Baiyun Temple. A little further to the south, it was the place where Kangxi studied in his childhood, but it was blocked by trees and could not be seen. Kangxi stared at it for a long time and relaxed.
Lying down, he murmured: "Let's go...it's a beautiful scenery outside, but I'm sorry I can't bear it..."
The car swayed and started. Kangxi looked up and thought, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Wang Juan... have you seen Wang Juan these days?" Ma Qi's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly leaned over and said: "Master, Wang Juan
I cried so hard that I couldn't help him, so I sent someone to send him back to the house yesterday." The corner of Kangxi's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his eyes to Zhang Tingyu: "Do you have his share of the bargain?"
"Here..." Zhang Tingyu said, "Master, do you want to see it?"
"Oh..." Kangxi lay back, closed his eyes and said, "I'm so dizzy, I can't read... burn it..." Ma Qi said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. There is a record in the history museum, burn it.
How to explain?" Zhang Tingyu said: "Brother Ma is here to testify that this is the emperor's special decree!" After saying that, he took out the folding book from his sleeve, said nothing, waved the folding book on fire, and burned it in his hand.
It’s on.
Kangxi saw the document turned into ashes, smiled sternly, and said: "You have done a great good deed. Wang Tuan's corpse is a vegetarian, Tai is a minister of the country, and the party attached Yinfeng to death. I will allow him to commit suicide. Do you think
how?"
"Master!" Ma Qi was startled, thinking that Kangxi was out of his mind. Just as he was about to remonstrate, Zhang Tingyu said: "I have fulfilled my duties and it is my duty to die. After considering his service for many years, I thought it was just a waste of time to kill a homeless man.
enough."
Kangxi pondered for a long time, and Fang Yixiao sighed: "He is over seventy years old, what's the difference between going to kill Ula and giving him death? Dismiss him from his official position, stay in the capital for investigation, and find someone from his descendants to oust him."
Bar!"
The two of them were waiting to answer when the car swayed and stopped. Fang Bao, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, said through the curtain: "Master, I, Fang Bao, will pick you up! - The master has a special order and I am not allowed to go over to serve you." After that,
He sobbed and kowtowed to the ground, raised the curtain and glanced at Kangxi, and couldn't help but burst into tears!
"I am better, don't be like this." Kangxi also felt sad and couldn't help himself. "I moved to the poor house and turned it into a palace. There are some things that I need to discuss with you before I understand!"
After passing the Yuedong Gate in the east of Danning Judong, the road inside was not easy to drive. A group of people lifted Kangxi from the car onto a sedan with four people carrying it, and walked in through flowers and willows. The one stationed in front was Commander Wu Dan.
The "poor house" dormitory where Shanpu camp guards and mute eunuchs served. Ma Qi always had a sense of mystery about this place. He wanted to go in and have a look, but when he reached the fence, Kangxi stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Send
After traveling thousands of miles, we must finally say goodbye. Ma Qi and Ting Yu will retreat first and take care of the things outside - nothing should be neglected or neglected. Only business as usual will lead to prosperity." The two had no choice but to bow and retreat as ordered.
"Linggao." Kangxi returned here and looked much more peaceful. Seeing that Fang Baowu had a sad look on his face, he beckoned Fang Baowu to the bedside and said, "Do you also have common people's opinions? Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven.
Former sages have said that if they are written in a book, they will be read and thought about by future generations. I know my illness well and have already passed the first level. After passing the second level, it is like a spinning top that has stabilized.
Then there are still a few years of good life left!" Fang Bao said sadly: "Life and death are important matters, and its rationale is difficult to understand. So the sage talks about life but not death, let alone me? I have been really anxious, sad and frightened these days!
I have all the minutes of your remarks in my hand, and I have not determined which elder brother will succeed him. If something happens, it will be a disaster in an instant!" Kangxi said: "I want to discuss this matter with you today... You
Get those things…."
The "thing" was placed in a large gilded cabinet next to the chiming clock. Fang Bao took it out gently, as if holding a baby. For some reason, he felt that his legs and feet were weak and his hands were shaking a little.
"So many..." Kangxi stroked the manuscripts on the case and flipped through them casually. The half-foot-thick manuscript was divided into categories and categories, including politics, astronomy, geography, river defense, and Jingbian...
...Compiled one after another, Fang Bao sorted it out and handed it over to him for review. When each type of case was unknown, Fang Bao checked the files and added annotations. At the end of each section, Kangxi's "Style" was stamped.
Kangxi looked at the ceiling woven with asparagus grass with sharp eyes, and said after a long time: "Let's think about the manuscript of the posthumous edict from this point of view. We might as well make it longer, 20,000 words will be enough..."
…For example, hunting in autumn, how many bears, tigers and evil beasts I have killed in my life, these things should not be included - they are too trivial."
Fang Bao nodded and said: "This book contains the glorious career of Long live his life. I should compile it carefully. Please give it a name!" Kangxi thought for a moment, turned his face and asked: "What do you think it should be called?"
Fang Bao said: "How about calling it "Sheng Wen Shen Wu Ji"?"
"Call it Shengwu." Kangxi smiled, "This is all obvious. You might as well leave some room for future generations to comment. It would be tasteless to boast that you are a 'god'." Fang Bao agreed and gently folded the manuscript.
He folded it up and asked: "I still want to ask for an edict. Should I include the default successor in the edict?"
Kangxi ignored these words, but turned around and asked: "How long has it been since you left the study and came here?" Fang Bao thought for a moment and said, "Eight years. I haven't been out of this garden for eight years.
." Kangxi thought in his mind and said: "Yes, you came in after the thirteenth brother was banned. It is unreasonable to imprison a great scholar here! Do you want to go out and become an official?" "No!
Fang Bao was shocked and sighed: "Listen to Long Live's words, don't you want me anymore? Long Live... Ever since we met at Luoma Lake, Long Live has treated me as a friend, and I have secretly made a promise... I wish I could spare my strength in this life to serve you."
The Holy Lord has done his best. Now that the Lord is threatening the country, it is the autumn when I sacrifice my life in service. I hope that I will keep my loyal heart and keep you..."
"The master may be in danger, but the country may be in doubt." Kangxi said quietly, "I didn't say I would let you go right now. For many years, the ministers have been anxious and uneasy, fearing that I will not be able to tolerate my descendants in a hundred years.
.This is not unreasonable - there is always an emperor and a minister! I have repeatedly told Wei Dongting and the others to make up for the shortfall as soon as possible. What I am afraid of is that I will die before them and they will not be able to bear it! Now that they have gone first, they can live in peace.
I don’t choose the eighth son. He has too many gang members. He is like a pack of wolves and dogs, including a gentleman like Li Guangdi. There are many gang members and sharp claws. If things change over time, I will live a restless life. Once he succeeds to the throne, he will want to
Cheer up, helplessly support him, he is a mixed bag of people, and his complex is connected with each other, how can he do it? "
At this point, Fang Bao already understood that Kangxi had decided to make Yinzhen his heir, but he would not take the blame until the time came. Just as he was thinking about it, Kangxi said again: "If the current official administration is not in order, there will be big trouble.
Taiwan's Zhu Yigui is almost unstoppable! Thousands of people gathered in a mob in Quanzhou, Fujian. The traitors robbed wealthy households and harmed the villagers. Even a capable general like Lan Li couldn't suppress him... What about Shandong? The Yanzhou people rioted and trapped Yanzhou.
Even the tenants of the Confucius Mansion were brought in... Although these are just thieves, the government is forcing the people to rebel! Peace... is peace, after all, the fire cannot be contained in the paper, the source of the chaos is unclear, and the rule of the world is
It's time to ask for fish - for the sake of future generations, I should - consider a decent emperor..." He took a long breath as if he was overwhelmed. Fang Bao listened blankly to these personal words of Kangxi, and felt in his heart
Secretly admired: This kind of thinking has really reached the level of perfection! With such a thorough thinking, why worry about not "taking a final look at life"? After a long time, Fang Bao wiped away his tears and said: "I know it, my lord, it is a good life and rest, today."
too tired."
"Here comes." Kangxi called out slowly. Li Dequan, Xing Nian and others hurriedly came in from outside the house and asked, "What's the errand of Long Live Lord?" Kangxi said coldly: "From now on, my bedroom will be occupied.
Let’s change it here. The rules must also be tightened. You know, although Wu Dan is old, he is a murderer. No matter what I say, just one word of stepping out will end the relationship that has been served for decades——
Huh? Do you know?"
"Cha!" the two of them responded in unison, "I don't have the guts!"
Kangxi said "hmm" and then said: "Go out and deliver the message: On the day of my sixtieth anniversary, Wang Guan often dared to make false statements and confuse the public. He did not want me to be happy, and his intentions were extremely unpredictable. I am going to get rid of him."
He was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wenhua Palace and was transferred to Heilongjiang - wait a minute - in consideration of his old age, his son will go on his behalf. I will stay in Beijing and think about my past behind closed doors!"
"twitter!"
"Also," Kangxi said gloomily, "there was a case of two thousand people gathered in Yongchun, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Dehua County to set up flags and firecrackers. I had an intention. These people were not thieves. They had no choice but to do it because they were short of food.
Er, send the bodyguards of the ministers and ministers to go and recruit people. Go to the study room minister Ma Qi to deal with the perverse and approve the suppression without permission. Not only did the leader of the thief Chen Wuxian escape, but also killed more than 80 people who were held hostage, and went to Ma Qi to lead the army.
Minister of the bodyguard, Taibao of the crown prince, with the title of Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, hand over to the Ministry for discussion!"
"twitter!"
Fang Bao had already been dumbfounded after hearing this, and his face was scorched yellow without any blood! He didn't understand why Kangxi suddenly became so powerful that he deposed two court ministers? There is still something to be said about Wang Wan. Ma Qi has always been loyal, diligent and cautious.
Should I be dismissed from my job and questioned for such a minor offense?
"Pass the decree," Kangxi said with no expression on his face, "The minister Zhang Tingyu has been with me for many years, but he has no suggestions for good governance. Last year, I issued an edict to ask for advice, but the minister was perfunctory and prevaricated, and the person involved was dishonest! I should have strictly discussed it, read this
Other than that, he has no serious faults, so he will be demoted two levels and temporarily stay in the study room to walk around!"
"Chah, chah, chah!"
Xing Nian, Li Dequan was sweating on the tip of his nose, because he saw that Kangxi stopped giving orders and repeated the three decrees and went out.
.
"Long live...this?"
Kangxi saw Fang Bao's face change in anxiety, waved his hand, smiled, and asked: "For example, if you don't want people to find a pearl, where should you put it?"
"Put it in the fish's eye!"
"Where's a piece of wood?"
"Put it in the woods!" Fang Bao suddenly understood and couldn't help but smile to himself.
Kangxi stretched out his right hand to take a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "That's what I just said to Ma Qi, 'We must say goodbye'. We'll talk about your business later. First, go to the mansions of the elder brothers and ministers, and then say that you will do it for me."
The compilation of "Imperial Music Rhythms" has been completed. I asked the Seventeenth Brother Yinli to give you a house, and you can come in and see me at any time - I am really tired today, so see you later." (To be continued)
