The 21st Chapter Tingzhu's inscription is unfinished, calling the police in the middle of the night
Aunt Sumala returned to the Yangxin Hall. Kangxi had just gotten up from his nap. When he saw her coming in, he rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "What caused you trouble today? Did you take Mr. Wu too?" Aunt Sumala blushed and smiled.
He said: "This is the difficulty of being a slave. He is as good as half a master in Suofu. If he wants to go, how can I stop him." Kangxi smiled and said: "It's hard for you to cope with this situation.
The good show was almost ruined!" Aunt Su Ma said: "Long live the Lord's blessings are as great as the sky. He is a nerd, how can you tell!" After saying that, she came out to give Kangxi face wash.
Aunt Sumala came in with water and saw that Kangxi was writing a banner, so she said: "Master, please cleanse your face. When you get up, you take the paste with you to write. If you don't believe it, it's done!" Kangxi smiled and put down the pen while washing his face.
At the same time, he asked: "I'm here at Baiyun Temple today. What do you think of Ban Bulshan?"
"She seems a little distracted," Aunt Sumala said.
"That's not what you're asking about," Kangxi said while closing his eyes and letting Aunt Sumala wipe his face, "I'm asking how this person is doing?"
Aunt Sumala wiped his face skillfully, ordered the maid to remove the toilet bowl, and said with a smile: "How can I know this? The master's eyes are called sage!" In recent days, she found that Kangxi was quite intelligent.
Being proud of himself, he thinks that when people grow up, they can no longer treat them like children. It would be very meaningless if he continues to make irresponsible remarks like in the past and ask him to spend money from the master! Therefore, the more important the event, the more he secretly enlightens himself.
make a decision.
"I think this person is definitely not a member of Obai's party." Seeing Aunt Sumala's surprised look, Kangxi said proudly, "But he is definitely not a loyal person. His face is unclear, so I can't make a conclusion.
Let’s see later.”
Aunt Sumala hurriedly said: "What the master said is absolutely true. If he is a loyal minister, he should tell the master clearly and heartily today. The master has promoted him several times, but he only pretends to be confused!"
"Come and see!" Kangxi pointed to the banner he had just written and said, "These are the words I just wrote - okay?"
Aunt Sumala came over and saw six big characters written in official script:
Jingfan River Affairs Water Transport
She thought about it secretly: The governors of Shandong and Anhui reported repeatedly that the Yellow River burst and the canals were blocked by silt, making it difficult for boats to travel. The city of Beijing alone relied on water transportation of four million loads of grain every year. These two things were really embarrassing.
People are worried. As for the word "Jing Fan", it seems too dazzling. From various signs, the ambitions of San Francisco are exposed from time to time. However, the word "Jing" is clearly written on the imperial pillars, and ministers come to the palace to pay homage.
There were so many people in attendance, so what’s the use of spreading the word? Then he laughed and said, “Long live my calligraphy, my calligraphy is becoming more and more impressive!”
"Why do you want to say this?" Kangxi said with a smile, "Do you think it means that?"
"Excellent!" Aunt Sumala raised her eyebrows and praised: "The holy concerns are far-reaching, and every clause is very important. If these things are accomplished, the people will celebrate with their foreheads and spread the praises of Yao, Tian, and Shun!"
Kangxi said proudly: "I have read many memorials in recent years, and I have gained something occasionally. I am afraid that I will be distracted by the trivial matters in front of me, so I hang it on the pillar."
Seeing this as an opportunity, Aunt Sumala hurriedly smiled and said: "Zhang is here, I'm afraid it will be written down in the living book tomorrow!"
"Huh?" Kangxi was reminded by one sentence, so he picked up his pen and wrote another one, saying, "This is better." When Aunt Sumala looked at it, she had changed "Jingfan" to "Sanfan".
Kangxi glanced at Aunt Sumala thoughtfully and said: "Wan Niang, if you have any advice in the future, just say it as bluntly as before. I don't blame you."
It was a rainy late autumn. As soon as the sky turned dark, it became overcast again. When Wei Dongting returned to his apartment after taking off duty, it was already pitch black. Soon, the autumn rain began to fall in patter.
In the afternoon, after escorting Kangxi from Suofu into Shenwumen, Mingzhu invited brothers Shi Longbiao and Mu Zixu to have a drink with them at Jiaxing Tower. It would be at least midnight before they could come back. Wei Dongting had no one to talk to and felt bored.
, I went to the study room to pick out a book and read it.
At about Mohai time, seeing that Shi Longbiao and the others had not come back yet, Wei Dongting stretched himself, closed his book and was about to go to bed. Just at this moment, the old man came over and said, "Sir, there is a young master visiting outside."
It's so late, who will come? Wei Dongting asked hesitantly: "Are you a familiar friend?" The old disciple replied: "No, I have never been here." Wei Dongting thought about it and said with a smile: "Maybe it's Brother Mingzhu.
Literary friend, it will be a lot of inconvenience for me to come, so I might as well say goodbye. You go and say that Mingzhu is not here. If you have something to do, we can talk about it another day."
"Why am I looking for the pearl?" As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young man suddenly broke into the door and bowed with a smile, "I am an uninvited guest. I am here at night. There must be something important. Why don't you want to see me? I want to see you."
It's the eldest brother!" When Wei Dongting looked at it, he saw that the person who came was at most in his early twenties. He was holding a gold-coloured folding fan and wearing a green satin melon-skin hat that reached down to his eyebrows. A gray poplin was covered over his bronze robe.
Wearing a mandarin jacket, a Chinese jade fan pendant hangs next to the sweat scarf around his waist, and he wears a pair of thousand layer sole sandals. His demeanor is free and easy, even though he walked in the rain, there is not even a trace of muddy water - Wei Dongting feels very
Surprised, he quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Sorry for offending! I thought it was brother Xun Mingzhu, they look familiar, but here they are -"
But the man didn't answer. When the old man left, Fang smiled and said: "The husband is like peach and plum blossoms, and the concubine is like pine and cypress trees. The peach and plum blossoms fall easily, but the pine and cypresses remain the same." - We said goodbye in a hurry at Xifengkou, and met again in a hurry along the West River.
I don't want you to be so forgetful!" As he said this, he took off his hat and put down his braid, and saw his beautiful hair, white teeth, and bright eyes. - It's Shi Jianmei here!
"Mei Mei?" Wei Dongting was stunned for a moment. He didn't believe his eyes and suspected that it was a dream, so he couldn't help but rub his eyes. When he found out that it was not a dream, he jumped forward and held her tightly.
The hands appreciating plum blossoms.
Seeing him like this, Jianmei felt embarrassed. When she tried to grab his hand, she couldn't get it. She really couldn't hide or dodge, couldn't get angry with anger, couldn't avoid being ashamed, so she could only blush and lower her head.
Standing silently for a while, he asked softly: "How have you been these past few years?"
Wei Dongting gradually calmed down and realized that he had lost his composure. He slowly let go of his hand, hurriedly gave up his seat, poured tea, and said with a smile: "I've been doing well these past few years, how about you?" Shi Jianmei blew the tea leaves and said with a smile: "Not necessarily.
Okay? You narrowly escaped death, how could you possibly deceive me?"
"Of course I can't hide my affairs from you," Wei Dongting said with a smile, "I heard that Mei Mei is very proud of herself in Aozhongtang Mansion!"
This sentence contains the meaning of appreciating plum blossoms with suspicion. If it is said that the two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, there should be no doubt about it. But Wei Dongting's current status, every move and every move is related to the important affairs of the ancestral temple and the country, and he has to do more.
A little thoughtful. After saying that, he peeked at Jianmei and saw that her face changed slightly. She was sitting in front of the candle blankly, with tears silently flowing down. Wei Dongting gritted his teeth and ignored it. Jianmei suddenly
He stood up, covered his face and was about to rush out of the door, but Wei Dongting grabbed him and said with a smile: "It's still the same as when I was a child, just a joke." Jianmei raised her head, her face was full of tears, and she choked with sobs.
: "I...I stayed in that nest for six years for revenge...but you treated me...I came here because I have important things."
"Isn't your job just to avenge Qianming?" Wei Dongting said eagerly, "What's the point of talking about this now?"
Jianmei suddenly stopped crying! He sneered and said, "Could it be that I took the risk to come here just to listen to these words from you? - You should take it seriously, I'm going!" After saying that, he walked away. Wei Dongting hurriedly blocked the way and waved his hand.
He smiled and said, "No, no, why don't you think I'm wrong? We haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still willful, so it doesn't matter if you just ask!"
Jianmei then sat down again, looked at Wei Dongting and asked, "Are you going to Suo'etu Mansion tomorrow?"
"Our civil and military affairs are not affiliated with each other," Wei Dongting was shocked and replied calmly, "Why should I go to him?"
"Stop being a prank," Shi Jianmei was anxious and helpless, so she could only say bluntly, "Don't go. If the emperor calls you, you can report your illness and be cured!"
"I'm not sick!" Wei Dongting replied coldly, "Am I going to go?"
"Don't ask, just listen to me and don't go!"
"I want to ask. How did you know that I was going to Suofu, and why couldn't I go? A real man always has to come and understand. I can't do something that I don't even understand myself."
There was another awkward silence, and Jianmei sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to come back."
"Since you don't want to tell the truth, just go!" Wei Dongting saw her hesitating and became angry, "I am still Wei Huzi ten years ago, and you are no longer Mei Meizi ten years ago! You go, tomorrow
I'm going to search the mansion, but I want to see how I can't come back!" Shi Jianmei stood up and walked away, but stopped again after just a few steps and said without looking back: "Obai will search the mansion tomorrow, even you.
Take the emperor... It's up to you whether you go or not!" After that, he left.
Wei Dongting was like a thunderbolt, and now he was really anxious. He rushed forward to block the way, grabbed her shoulder tightly and said: "Good sister Mei, tell me the truth, I can't ignore the emperor!" Jianmei turned around and saw Wei Dongting like this.
He was stubborn and sighed: "You don't know my heart. As long as you are safe, I will be relieved." Wei Dongting smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't be confused, sister! If anything happens to the Emperor, I, Wei Dongting, will inevitably die.
Or survive, how can I live with dignity in the world?"
"Good brother, please stay away from the land of right and wrong, I beg you!" Jianmei suddenly broke away and knelt down with a plop, "You can't fight them! They are powerful and have countless party members, and they plan day and night.
They are plotting to harm your monarchs and ministers, but you cannot defeat them!"
"I know." Wei Dongting held her up by the arm, looked into her eyes like autumn water, and stubbornly shook his head and said, "You have known me since you were a child, and I can fight them!" Jianmei looked at the person in front of her with some surprise.
The heroic man shook his head and took out a paper bag from his arms and said, "Look at this."
Wei Dongting took it, walked to the lamp and turned it on to take a closer look. He saw clouds with flakes of snow as white as frost. He quickly asked: "Are they the best borneol?" Jianmei replied: "It is a drug used to poison your monarchs and ministers. In order to get rid of it."
I almost died when I saw it."
Wei Dongting became more and more alarmed and forced Jianmei to sit down, forcing her to tell the whole story.
It turns out that there was a ghost in Ao's house one night, and it was Jian Mei who had eavesdropped on the secret conversation between Ao Bai and Ban Bulshan. At night, she borrowed a mask to pretend to be a ghost, frightened the color screen, and tricked Ao Bai out of the crane.
Shouting, secretly stole some poison. In the rush, the lady did not carefully check the number of people, but she did not suspect her.
After listening to Jianmei's words, Wei Dongting couldn't help but praise: "Your heart is really 10,000 times smarter than mine!"
"When are you talking about this?" She looked at Wei Dongting with tears in her eyes, full of hope and fear, "You have to leave quickly, otherwise, a huge disaster is about to happen."
"You don't have to worry about me. We have no fate in this life. We will wait for the next life! But he is so kind to me, how can I..."
"who?"
"The current emperor!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Jianmei suddenly said angrily, "You know your Majesty! What good can he do to us people? After you left that year, my mother died, and my father dragged me to farm the dozen or so acres of Huangzhuang.
We live on the land, but we don’t want it to be circled by the yellow flag again!” At this point, Jianmei wiped away tears and continued, “Without the land, the owner of the village still comes to collect rent money, saying that there is no circle in front of the yellow flag.
The seeds have been planted in the ground, and the seed money must be recovered. You and Wei Amu have already left. We have no relatives, who will take care of us? In the twelfth lunar month of that year, Dad went to beg for food during the heavy snowfall, and never came back..."
When Jianmei said this, she broke down in tears. Wei Dongting remembered the harmonious and cordial situation between the two families and shed tears unconsciously.
"What should I do when I am left alone in the end?" Jianmei continued, "I had to disguise myself as a man and go to Beijing to look for you. I almost froze to death in Huairou. But Uncle Shi saved me and accepted me as his adopted daughter. He followed me
He travels all over the world to learn art, how do you know the troubles here!"
After hearing this, Wei Dongting was silent for a long time and then said: "Mei Mei, I understand what you are thinking. You have suffered so much over the years. Of course I feel sad and feel sorry for your family. But I think we all hope that
As long as you have a good emperor, you can live a happy life. The former Ming emperor was a Han, but he forced your family to go outside the customs. Now it is not the current emperor who is forcing you, right? It is the emperor's enemy Aobai who is encircling the land. You
Do you know? You are a smart person, and you have to figure this out. When our two families were in good terms, we had already joined the banner. You didn't dislike me, and I didn't think about being the little leader of the banner army.
Oppressing good people. You know this. Think about it carefully, do my words make sense?"
This time it was Jianmei's turn to be speechless.
"Although the current emperor is young, he is very clear and wise. I really can't bear to leave him. Not to mention me, just like Mr. Shi is also devoted to the emperor now!"
"Oh, you men!" Jianmei was already convinced, but she still said, "But don't trust him too much. As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger!"
"That makes some sense." Wei Dongting said with a smile, "But I'm not stupid either. Then, can't I imitate Fan Li and carry Xi Shi on a boat trip across the five lakes?"
When Jianmei heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She blushed and poked Wei Dongting's forehead with her finger and said, "You, you are the sin I committed in my previous life! If you want me to do anything, just tell me..."
On the official road outside Yongxing Temple, Ao Bai was still a little uneasy while sitting in the sedan chair. Because this move was of great importance, and if the secret was leaked, he would be killed.
For this matter, he and Ban Bulshan discussed this matter until midnight yesterday. After many investigations, there was no doubt that Kangxi was studying in Suofu. So they decided to take action immediately - search the Suo'etu bachelor's house.
It is much safer to rob and kill Kangxi in the palace like a trance array. Once successful, the crime of regicide can be passed on to Suo'etu afterwards.
For the sake of safety, early this morning, Bambulshan spread his spy along the road from Shenwumen to Suofu. Just now someone came to report: "As usual, the two sedans coming out of the palace have entered the back of Suofu."
Side door." Only then did Obai arrive in a sedan chair with confidence.
The big sedan came to the Suo Mansion and landed gently, and Obai bowed and stepped out.
When Zhao Fengchun saw that it was Ao Bai at the door, he went down with Qian'er and said, "Master Zhongtang, my dear Zhao Fengchun respectfully invites Zhongtang Jin'an!"
"Reply to your master and say that the second-class public servant, the minister of bodyguard, Ao Bai, has come with an order and wants to see your master."
"Cha——" As soon as Zhao Fengchun heard that "he was ordered", Zhao Fengchun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, then got up and flew into the back hall to report. (To be continued)
