Wei Xiaobao of Lu Ding Ji

Chapter 48 Debunking

Back in the palace, after a few days of Xiaobao's peace, Su Mala, who was next to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, suddenly appeared at the gate of Qianqing Palace.After the morning court, he hurriedly called Kangxi away.

Wei Xiaobao didn't follow, but he could figure out with his toes, what was the purpose of Aunt Su Mala appearing in Qianqing Palace.

This time when Wu Yingxiong entered the capital, the news of the withdrawal of the feudal vassal had already spread among the government and the public.Although Kangxi seems to have a kind heart on the surface, Xiaobao has watched his words and deeds for so many years, and he has long known that Kangxi is deliberately hiding it.But Jiang is still old and hot, and Wu Sangui also sneaked into the capital this time, probably already aware of Kangxi's intentions.Therefore, they secretly united the two vassal kings, Shang Kexi, King of Pingnan, and Geng Jingzhong, King of Jingnan, with the same caliber to the outside world, so that the matter of withdrawing the vassal was calmed down quietly. Down the donkey down the slope, unarmored and returned to the field.

Although Kangxi was very strategic, according to the news that Wei Xiaobao found in Wu Sangui's mind that day, this ambitious vassal king wanted to work hard on government affairs, win over Mongolia and Tibet, train troops and raise horses before Kangxi was fledgling. Train the generals, wait for the opportunity to move, and when the time is right, immediately raise troops and pledge to overthrow the entire Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop.The empress dowager of Xiaozhuang also probably thought of this, so she went to find Kangxi, right?

Kangxi is now afraid of San Francisco and doesn't know what to do.Now that the national treasury is empty, if Wu Sangui raises troops, food and pay will be the first problem, not to mention that he has never led soldiers to fight, how could he be the opponent of Wu Sangui who uses soldiers like a god, and it is impossible to let him grow bigger when dealing with San Francisco. Nature is in a dilemma.Now that Xiaozhuang is recruiting him, it is likely that he intends to marry Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong under Yizhi.

Just as he was thinking, Zhang Kangnian, the chief servant, came over and said, "Brother Gui, don't you know that the emperor is inside?"

"The emperor went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects early in the morning, but he hasn't returned yet. What's the matter, Big Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Kangnian was originally worried, but when he heard this, his expression immediately improved, and he looked at Wei Xiaobao with bright eyes. "Brother Gui! The emperor is not here, so I can only discuss with you in this palace."

Wei Xiaobao saw a high hat was put on his head, as the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace, if you have nothing to do, you can show courtesy, if you have nothing to do, you can steal or rape.So he hurriedly said: "Don't dare to act, brother Zhang has something to ask the emperor? The emperor is in the Compassionate Ning Palace at the moment, if the matter is urgent, brother, I will take the risk to report it."

"Don't...don't...Brother Gui...this..." Zhang Kangnian saw that Wei Xiaobao was about to slip, so he quickly grabbed Xiaobao's arm and said in a low voice, "I came this time to take prisoners Some of the assassins came."

"...Huh?" Xiaobao stopped immediately, muttering in his heart.Could it be that the people in the Mu Palace are really so weak that they can't be recruited under severe punishment?He quickly smiled and said, "Since Big Brother Zhang wants my help, I, Xiao Guizi, will naturally go through fire and water, but... what's going on?"

A few days ago, an assassin appeared, which made Kangxi furious, and ordered a thorough investigation of the palace, and the assassins were not to be killed, but to be captured alive.For a moment, the whole palace was full of chills, and the second only under the chief guard, Duolong, was this brother Zhang.Xiaobao and Zhang Kangnian were friends at the gambling table, they jokingly called Zhang Kangnian "big brother", but they didn't expect that this big brother Zhang was really capable and let him capture several prisoners.

"Brother Gui is like this. The emperor has decreed to wash away the grievances of King Pingxi, and he has given us an order that no matter what means, we must try to find out why, and see who dared to murder the emperor and framed King Pingxi and his son. But...a few days ago, under torture, we extorted a confession...these people insisted that they belonged to King Pingxi, and one of them claimed to be the nephew of King Pingxi's son-in-law Xia Guozhuo...this...how can this be good? ..."

Wei Xiaobao was delighted when he heard it.A few days ago, Mu Jiansheng, who was frivolous, became frivolous and cruel, and then left him to fend for himself and threw him into the cold palace. Later, thanks to Lu Shuang's care, he didn't starve a living person to death.Thinking of it, Xiaobao felt a little ashamed to see him.Now that Zhang Kangnian happened to give him an excuse to ease the atmosphere between the two, he really wanted to love Zhang Kangnian to death.So he said: "Brother Zhang, this matter is easy to talk about. Even if these chaotic parties are like this, there is no solution. I will tell the emperor myself, and the emperor will not blame you."

When Zhang Kangnian heard this, he hurriedly stuffed a few banknotes into his hands without any trace. "Cough... Thank you, Eunuch Gui. This is our guards' filial piety to Eunuch Gui. Please serve Eunuch Gui."

"Brother Zhang, you are really good. We are good brothers, and we are loyal. Why is this..." As he spoke, Zhang Kangnian cleverly stuffed the bank note into Xiaobao's cuff, made a big bow, and walked away .

Xiaobao couldn't help raising his eyebrows and laughing when he saw his back as he walked away. He put his hand into his cuff and touched it, um, not bad five.Unexpectedly, even the guards in the palace had extraordinary moves, and they made such five big shots. With just a few words, 5000 taels went into their pockets. It is hard to get rich while working in the palace.Just as she was thinking, when she looked up, she saw Kangxi in bright yellow, standing gloomy and unidentified at the corner not far from the corridor, watching him quietly... There was a wordless sadness in his dark eyes.It seems to be angry, it seems to be disbelief, it seems to be the sadness of being betrayed... It is so complicated that Xiaobao dare not delve into it.Wei Xiaobao's heart sank, and he took a closer look at the boundary where he was standing - the position he was standing on was the only way from the Palace of Mercy Ning to the Palace of Qianqing, and Kangxi probably bumped into it when he turned back from Xiaozhuang.

Standing there, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but smile less, since he bumped into him, there was nothing to tell, if he took it, he took it, 45 taels of real gold and silver were put in his pocket, there was no need to lie and argue for a petty gain stigma.He straightened himself up, stood up straight, and stood aside expressionlessly watching Kangxi walk past him.Seeing him like this, Kangxi frowned, and slowed down his pace.

Li Dequan, who was serving behind Kangxi, saw the strange atmosphere between the two of them, and couldn't help wiping his sweat.These two masters...are not easy to get along with. What if there is a quarrel between the needles and the wheat mang, what should we do if these people come and go--Li Dequan's chief eunuch for so many years is not in vain, He is not only the most trusted secret guard around the emperor, but also an old man in the palace who watched the emperor grow up. How could he not understand the character of his master.And this Wei Xiaobao, he can be regarded as watching him grow from such a small bean to the handsome young man he is now. Very well, I can't bear the slightest loss, and I can be regarded as half of the master in the palace. Now... well, the slave is not like a slave, and the master is not like a master.I really don't know what to do...

Kangxi said: "Little Guizi, what are you doing here? Presumptuous, you don't know how to greet me when you see me."

Wei Xiaobao's neck swelled, and he was extremely ashamed, when and where did he, Wei Xiaobao, be so humiliated?In the past, kneeling down was just a show, and he had to do it in front of outsiders, but in front of the two of them, he saved as much as he could and never took the initiative.Now hearing that Kangxi actually wanted him to kneel down to pay his respects, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.I thought, why didn't you see everything?Still pretending to ask me.So he glanced at Kangxi coldly, and said calmly: "Slave Xiao Guizi, long live the emperor, long live long live."

Kangxi felt sour when he saw his expressionless face. He actually colluded with other guards in the palace behind his back to fool him, and he was so arrogant that he even knelt down so unwillingly. Do you really regard yourself as your master?So he said, "Hmph, you come with me."

Xiao Bao wanted to stand up, but after walking a few steps, Kangxi seemed to remember something, turned around with a half-smile and said, "Huh? Did I tell you to stand up?"

As soon as Wei Xiaobao gritted his teeth, there was a "plop", his knees hit the bluestone floor with a crisp sound, Xiaobao knelt down again without saying a word.He thought to himself, did he really think of himself as his slave?He raised his head and said: "Today I kneel down is Xuan Ye of the Great Qing Kingdom, not the little Xuanzi in my heart." As he spoke, he felt a little wronged.

Now that Zhuang Ju already has six scriptures, only two scriptures Zhenghuangqi and Zhenglanqi are left, and there is no whereabouts of Zhenghuangqi in the palace. Kangxi's attitude has become ambiguous since he got rid of Oboi, and Xiaobao is not innocent. As far as he could tell, he just felt that Kangxi treated him very well, and life in the palace was relatively comfortable, so staying in the palace was for Kangxi's sake, and he wanted to help him in the San Francisco matter.From this point of view, even the reason for staying in the palace in the end can be ignored.So Xiaobao stood up without any scruples.

Hearing this, Kangxi was shocked. He felt a little regretful in his heart, but when he saw Xiaobao leaving in anger, he became annoyed. You must know that in the past ten years, no one in him dared to fight against the dignified Qing Dynasty. The emperor is putting on airs.So Kangxi grabbed Xiaobao's arm and said, "Xiao Guizi, where are you going? I order you to come with me." He was a little scared, afraid that the stubborn Wei Xiaobao would never return, afraid that things would get out of hand .

"Hmph, slaves have their own dirty places that slaves should go to. If I say it out, I'm afraid it will spoil the emperor's ears." After finishing speaking, he pulled his body out of Kangxi's arms with his backhand.

Seeing him like this, Kangxi immediately reached out to stop him.In the blink of an eye, the two had gone through dozens of tricks. Such a big movement naturally attracted many guards in the palace to stop and watch, but Zhang Kangnian and Duo Long had also heard rumors of Xiaobao and the emperor's wrestling practice. He couldn't tell the difference, thinking that the two of them got together and had a good time in this crowded place, so he silently cleared out the servants and guards at the side, and retreated thinking he was considerate.

Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao got into a fight, and the two of them were fighting each other for a long time. Although he was cautious and humble by nature, he subconsciously believed that Xiaobao's martial arts were not as good as his. Now the two of them After doing it seriously, he found that Xiaobao's martial arts were not inferior, and even faintly suppressed, and his heart became angry again.
