Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Wei Xiangshu wore hemp and dai Xiaofei and went to Beijing, thinking about the will left by the late emperor, and calling him back to serve the young emperor to study, he really felt lonely, and couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.It was already the end of the first lunar month when he arrived in the capital, and Xuan Ye had held the service for 27 days. He obeyed the late emperor's edict, Shifu ascended the throne, and changed his Yuan to Kangxi. The young emperor used to study in the upper study room with all elder brothers. From now on, he will study in the Hongde hall every day.In addition to Wei Xiangshu, the master also has several masters who specialize in teaching Manchu, Mongolian and bow horse riding and archery.After Wei Xiangshu came to Beijing, he found out that the Empress Dowager had already chosen two young people to serve the emperor with him, one was Hanlin Chen Tingjing, and the other was Supervisor Gao Shiqi.Chen Tingjing was recommended by Aobai to the Empress Dowager, Sony recommended Gao Shiqi, and the Empress Dowager agreed.Chen Tingjing was the one that Wei Xiangshu admired very much, but Gao Shiqi knew little about it.Since it was the order of the Empress Dowager, he didn't have much to say.

Although the emperor is young, he still knows how to be angry, but after studying alone for a long time, he gradually finds it boring.In the past, studying together with my elder brothers was a lot of fun, not only playing together, but also comparing each other.Now the master knows a lot of people, and he only revolves around him, and it gradually becomes boring. One day, Wei Xiangshu talked about Ouyang Xiu's "Parties Theory", and asked the emperor to read it: "The master of the husband's previous life can make everyone disagree and not be friends. There is no better than Zhou. He can forbid good people to be friends. There is no better than Han Xiandi. Can kill Friends of Qingliu, there is nothing like Tang Zhaozong's generation. However, all of them perished in chaos."

The emperor read a few sentences, put down the book and asked, "No one can kill a friend of Qingliu like Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty. However, they all destroyed their country in chaos. Master, I don't understand." Wei Xiangshu said: "The ancients said it well. If you read the book a hundred times, you will see its righteousness! Your Majesty, follow the old minister to read it. If you are familiar with it, the old minister will naturally explain it!" The emperor became lazy and said, "I don't want to study today!" Wei Xiangshu hurriedly said: "The emperor refuses to study, the old minister can't afford it!"

The emperor said: "I want to learn horseback riding and archery right now, and I will study tomorrow! The Empress Dowager said that you must read the books of sages and sages well, and you must also learn how to ride bow and horse and shoot well!" Wei Xiangshu only taught archery, horseback riding and archery, and what he wanted to teach himself was to teach himself. Today's turn is reading.The emperor was not willing to listen, so he threw away the book and went out.Chen Tingjing and Gao Shiqi stood by, just watching the emperor lose his temper, even if he wanted to help Master Wei, he couldn't.

The emperor went out, called the guard Wohe, and said, "I will go on horseback." Wohe only asked the emperor to wait a while, and ran out to lead the horse.The empress dowager had instructed that the emperor was too young, and if he wanted to ride a horse, he could only go around the gate of Qianqing and was not allowed to go outside.Zhou Ruhai and the other eunuchs hurried out with the emperor, for fear of accidents.Wei Xiangshu, Chen Tingjing and Gao Shiqi only got out of the Hongde Hall and followed the emperor. Wohe took the royal horse and rode with the emperor in his arms.Before the emperor could ride alone, he was led by Wohe.Zhou Ruhai only kept urging his master to take it easy, but the emperor thought it was too slow, so he grabbed the horsewhip from Wohe's hand and whipped it vigorously.The horse was just playing around in the Qianqing Gate, running too fast for fear that the emperor would fall, so Wuhe always held the reins.

The emperor lost interest again and clamored to come down and shoot arrows.Wohe reined in his horse, and Zhou Ruhai came over to hug the emperor.But the emperor yelled at a little eunuch: "Zhang Shande, take me down!" The little eunuch named Zhang Shande hurried over and carried the emperor off the horse.Zhang Shande was only thirteen years old, he was not very strong, and the horse was so tall that he almost fell off the emperor.Zhou Ruhai scolded Zhang Shande to die.The emperor was partial to Zhang Shande, and in turn scolded Zhou Ruhai. Wohe picked up the imperial bow and arrow, pulled it like a full moon, and hit the tree stump in front of him with a snap.The emperor took the bow and arrow from Wohe's hand, blushing and couldn't pull it away.There was a muffled sound, and the arrow fell to the ground within fifty steps.The emperor threw the bow and arrow to the ground angrily, and said: "Stop shooting arrows, go back to study!"

Wohe said: "The emperor can't read a book and want to ride a horse and shoot an arrow, but also want to study while shooting an arrow. The emperor is still young, and it is amazing to be able to shoot so far." The emperor said angrily, "If I say I won't shoot arrows, I won't shoot arrows!" At this time, Gao Shiqi, who had been standing by the side, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to present to you. It can be used to practice wrist strength and play with it!" The emperor asked, "What is it?" As Gao Shiqi spoke, he took out a slingshot from his pocket.The slingshot was very exquisitely made, with an iron frame and boxwood inlaid on the handle.

Gao Shiqi said: "Return to the emperor, this is called a slingshot, a very common thing for our country children." The emperor took the slingshot, his eyes lit up, and said, "Why isn't there such a thing in the palace?" Gao Shiqi said with a smile: "This was originally played by country children, but it was not done so well. This thing is called an eraser, which is produced in the West. Where have the country people seen rubber? How did the slave Pope use it?" Gao Shiqi aimed his slingshot at a bird on the tree, and with a snap, the bird fell.The emperor was so happy that he clapped his hands, only saying that this thing is fun.

Gao Shiqi said: "This servant has been serving me for many days. Seeing that the emperor's wrist strength is still weak and it is difficult to draw the bow, I think of the slingshot I used to play when I was a child. It happened that I could find a foreigner's rubber in the capital, so I specially asked a craftsman to make this slingshot. , honor the emperor!" The emperor smiled and said: "Gao Shiqi, I am very happy, I asked the empress dowager to reward you!" Gao Shiqi bowed his head and said: "It is a great favor for me to serve the emperor to study! Shiqi dare not take credit."

Once it was Master Wei's turn to give lectures again, he suddenly became ill and asked for leave, and asked the Empress Dowager to be replaced by Chen Tingjing for a few days.The Empress Dowager granted it.Seeing that it was Chen Tingjing who was giving the lecture, the emperor didn't even want to study, so he said: "Okay, okay, Master Wei is sick, and I just want to play too! Go, go ride a horse!" Chen Tingjing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't do this. When you study, when you ride and shoot, you have to arrange it with your masters and masters. Don't mess it up."

The emperor said angrily: "Read and read, always read, until someday!" Chen Tingjing said: "Back to the emperor, as the saying goes, if you live long enough to learn, you still have three points to learn. There is no end to learning!" After all, the emperor was still a child, and said: "There is no end to learning, why don't you see you reading?" Chen Tingjing said: "Although I have won a Jinshi, I am still studying in the Imperial Academy. Apart from serving the emperor to study, I also study by myself. The same is true for Shiqi. In addition to serving the emperor to study, he still has to study as a servant in Zhan Shifu." The emperor said: "I'm really tired of reading what Master Wei taught. Can you read some other articles?" Chen Tingjing said: "The emperor must read the sub-collections of classics and history, so take your time." Gao Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, why not tell me, what is your favorite article to read?" The emperor said: "I've been reading poetry recently, and I really like it. The tall trees are full of sad wind, and the sea is full of waves. If you don't have a sharp sword in your hand, why do you need many friends! If you don't see a sparrow in the hedge, you see a harrier throwing itself into a trap?" When Chen Tingjing heard that the emperor was reading Cao Zhi's "The Yellow Sparrow in the Field", his face changed greatly in fright, and he hurriedly said: "The emperor is very smart, but now you still need a master to lead you to read, you can't just look for books by yourself." The emperor lifted the table and said: "It's so presumptuous! You have the final say on what books I read. If you have the ability, tell me this poem!" Gao Shiqi replied first: "Return to the emperor, this is Cao Zhi's "The Yellow Bird in the Wild Field"." Chen Tingjing knew that this topic could not be continued, so he said sharply, "Shiqi!" Gao Shiqi deliberately exaggerated his knowledge, saying: "The poems of different dynasties have their own different styles. Cao Zhi is a figure from the Three Kingdoms. His poems at that time were so generous and tragic, with a grand vision. They have been called the style of the Han and Wei Dynasties since ancient times." The emperor said happily: "Gao Shiqi, you are very knowledgeable. Please tell me what this poem means." Chen Tingjing persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's continue to read the book taught by Master Wei." The emperor scolded Chen Tingjing: "Don't interrupt!" Gao Shiqi said again: "This is the work of Cao Zhi's depression and indignation. Cao Zhi's elder brother Cao Pi became the emperor, so he killed several brothers and demoted Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi lamented that he had no ability to rescue his brothers in distress, so he wrote this poem." The emperor asked: "It was originally born from the same root, so why is it too urgent to confront each other? Was this also written by Cao Zhi?" Gao Shiqi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your majesty is young, but he is well-informed and strong-willed." Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "Why did Cao Pi kill his brother? If my brother became the emperor, would he kill me too? Fortunately, I became the emperor myself." Gao Shiqi was frightened and didn't know how to answer.The eunuchs were also frightened, Zhou Ruhai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't talk like that, the servants still have to eat with their heads!" Chen Tingjing was also very anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are many truths in this world. You need to grow up to understand them naturally. Now you just study." The emperor said: "I might be killed by my brother before I grow up, it's better not to grow up!" Chen Tingjing was already sweating coldly on his forehead, and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Pi didn't implement benevolent government, and fought against each other. Cao Wei's country soon fell. This is a lesson from the past, and the emperors of all generations have already learned the lesson. You don't have to worry about it, just study." The emperor snorted and said, "Reading and reading, I only know that I want to study! Your knowledge is not as good as Gao Shiqi." Chen Tingjing said: "It is not uncommon for scholars to know articles, just like farmers know crops." The emperor smiled and said, "Hmph, you are not convinced that you are not as knowledgeable as Gao Shiqi!" Chen Tingjing replied: "Gao Shiqi is of course very knowledgeable, but as long as the emperor is angry, he doesn't need to be his age. You only need to look at the poems and prose, and you can know their age and who they came from. It's like a hundred plants and ten thousand trees. You have seen more and are familiar with it. You can know its type, call its name, and know what season it grows in, whether it is spring blossoms and autumn fruits, or year after year. The emperor said: "I can't listen to your words! I want to find the empress dowager, I don't want to be emperor, and I don't want my brothers to be emperor, lest brothers kill brothers!" Zhou Ruhai knelt down, Chen Tingjing, Gao Shiqi and all the guards and eunuchs knelt down.Chen Tingjing kowtowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, don't mention this again, otherwise everyone present will lose their heads!" Chen Tingjing returned home full of fear, for fear that today's incident would spread to the outside world.He knew that Gao Shiqi was responsible for this, but Mr. Wei entrusted him with the lecture, so he felt wronged and had nothing to say.May Bodhisattva bless you.Zhou Ruhai begged the emperor not to tell the empress dowager about this, otherwise all the servants would lose their heads.But Chen Tingjing thought to himself, how can the mouth of the eight-year-old young emperor be sealed? At night, Chen Tingjing sat alone in his study, playing the piano for a long time.Hearing the sound of the zither, the old man guessed that Ting Jing must have something on his mind.But don't want to bother him.Hearing the sound of the piano became quiet, the old man was worried and went to the study to have a look.But I saw Chen Tingjing writing a poem. Seeing that the old man had gone, Chen Tingjing hurriedly said, "Father, you haven't rested yet." The old man said: "Look at you and go to bed. Hey, there is another masterpiece." Chen Tingjing said: "Draw graffiti at will, it's ridiculous." The old lady came over to take a look. It turned out that Chen Tingjing wrote an epic poem about the heroic spirit of the world's heroes when Liu Bang started his business.He secretly thought that Ting Jing really had something on his mind.But Chen Tingjing himself didn't say anything, and the old man wouldn't ask. On the second day, Chen Tingjing went to Hongde Hall as usual, but Lord Wei was still ill.But it was calm and nothing happened.Only then did he feel relieved, thinking that the emperor really didn't tell the empress dowager about the matter. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ruhai was Oboi's eyes and ears, and reported to him the whole story of the Hongde Hall last night.After hearing this, Aobai knew that the matter was all on Gao Shiqi, but after all, everyone would suffer if he blamed him, so he hid the matter from the Empress Dowager.But he didn't want to let this matter pass easily, so he went to Sony.After hearing this, Sonny was so angry that he called Gao Shiqi away overnight and scolded him until he was bleeding.Gao Shiqi thought that Chen Tingjing must have reported on this matter, and since then he has held a grudge in his heart. Because of what happened yesterday, the emperor no longer pushes back and forth today.Chen Tingjing read a sentence, and the emperor followed him.But after reading for less than an hour, the emperor suddenly fell silent again.Only then did Chen Tingjing raise his head, only to see the emperor pull out the slingshot and slap it towards the corner of the hall.Immediately there was a crisp sound, and the large porcelain vase standing at the west end of the hall shattered.The emperor himself was frightened, and the eunuchs knelt down early. At this moment, Oboi stepped into the door with big strides, and said in shock: "Your servant knocked on the emperor! Who was the one surprised just now?" No one dared to say anything, they all lowered their heads.The emperor also lowered his head, with his hands behind his back.Obai looked around the hall, saw a porcelain vase was broken, and asked: "Who broke it? Damn it!" Zhou Ruhai looked at Oboi hurriedly, then quietly pouted at the emperor.Aobai immediately understood, knew that he had said something treacherous, but he just pretended to be confused, and asked, "What is the emperor hiding in his hand?" The emperor took out the slingshot and spread it in his hand reluctantly.Zhou Ruhai ran up to take the slingshot and handed it to Aobai.Obai looked at the thing repeatedly and asked, "Where did this come from?" Gao Shiqi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The servant made it for the emperor. The emperor can usually use this to practice his wrist strength. It's called a slingshot, a thing for folk children." Aobai said angrily, "Bold, who told you to do it?" Gao Shiqi kowtowed and said: "The servant saw that the emperor's wrist is not strong enough to hold the bow and shoot arrows, so he specially made a slingshot so that the emperor can practice on weekdays." Aobai scolded Gao Shiqi for a long time, then looked at Chen Tingjing, and said: "Shanxi has been a place of famous ministers since ancient times. Lin Xiangru, Di Renjie, Sima Guang, and Yuan Haowen are all from Shanxi. Now Master Wei and you are also from Shanxi Man, you should try your best to serve the emperor to study." Chen Tingjing said: "Although Tingjing has little talent and learning, he is willing to follow the example of the sages, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and spare no effort!" Aobai said a few words, then turned his head and kowtowed to the emperor, "I have come to see if they are attentive in serving the emperor, I will take my leave now." The emperor was terrified when he heard Oboi scolding people just now, but now he said: "Give me back the slingshot!" Aobai hesitated, but still returned the slingshot to the emperor, saying: "The emperor just reads when he is studying, and he will play with this thing when he learns to ride and shoot." The emperor didn't speak, just looked at the ground.Obai cursed a few more words at the eunuchs in the palace, kowtowed to the emperor and left. Gao Shiqi said suddenly: "Ting Jing, Shanxi is full of talents. I heard that there is a Fu Shan in Shanxi who has a great reputation." Chen Tingjing heard that Gao Shiqi had bad intentions, and thought that he must have heard that he had contacts with Fu Shan, so he said: "Fu Shan's character and knowledge are very good, but his personality is a bit weird." Gao Shiqi said with a smile: "Fu Shan's rebellion is obvious to the world, and many scholars have heard of it. You only said that he has a weird personality, which may not be an understatement." Chen Tingjing said: "Shiqi, this is not a place to talk about Fu Shan, let's wait for the emperor to study." Unexpectedly, the emperor refused to listen to it, and only asked, "Who is Fu Shan?" Chen Tingjing said: "A very learned man." The emperor said: "The first emperor said that all the most learned people in the world have come to take the Jinshi exam. Has Fu Shan passed the exam?" Chen Tingjing replied: "Your Majesty, scholars are different. Some like to take the Jinshi exam, and some like to roam the rivers and lakes. The emperor just studies now. Fu Shan, you will know who he is in the future." The emperor said: "I see that you two look very strange. Could it be that Fu Shan is wrong? Is he a learned scholar, or a gangster? I remember the former emperor said that people's hearts are like grass, good and bad are born together. If we remove the bad and keep the good, everyone can become Yao and Shun; if the good destroys the bad, people will become beasts. I believe that no matter who you are, as long as you let him understand the principles of sages and sages, he will become a good person." Chen Tingjing was amazed at the fact that the emperor was able to write down the words of the late emperor at such a young age, and said, "I am glad that the emperor can remember the last words of the late emperor. The emperor has to study hard. These principles are all in the book." When it comes to reading, the emperor is not happy again. Chen Tingjing thinks that today Oboi is very disrespectful in Hongde Palace.Where the emperor studies, how can the ministers drink and scold? Back home, Weng and his son-in-law talked until midnight.The old man said: "Listening to what you say, Oboi is indeed a bit arrogant." Chen Tingjing said: "The minister who assists the young master must be a minister. If the minister is not good enough, he will overshadow the master and cause harm to himself. Since ancient times, ministers who assist the young master will not have good results. Speaking of far, Lu Buwei's assistant Yingzheng, what will happen in the end? I will regret it through the ages!" The old man said: "Yes, Prince Rui Dorgon assisted the late Emperor Shunzhi. It can be said that he devoted himself to death. But after his death, he was borrowed by the Duke and the tablets were withdrawn from the ancestral temple. Everyone in the world knows that Dorgon I have been wronged through the ages, but I dare not say it! If it is ambitious and really wants to usurp it, it will end badly." Chen Tingjing said: "Lord Aobai has repeatedly shown his favor to me, but I really don't want to get too close to him. Among the four auxiliary ministers, Lord Aoboi is ranked last. But his temperament is to be the first in everything, it is inevitable Make enemies on all sides. I guess the four auxiliary ministers and workers will be the most unlucky one in the future!" The old man said: "Aobai's ancestors made great achievements for generations, and he himself has experienced hundreds of battles. He is extremely brave and has outstanding military achievements. Only because of his rude temper, he has been impeached many times. Otherwise, his status would have been higher than other ministers. These, he will not put other people in his eyes." Chen Tingjing said: "What I'm worried about is that he will ignore the emperor in the end." The emperor felt that the life in Hongde Palace was very difficult, but in a blink of an eye he was already ten years old.At this time, the emperor was quite sensible, so he didn't want to get angry with his masters.On this day, Obai entered Qianqing Palace and went straight to Hongde Hall in Xitou.Zhang Shande has grown to fifteen or sixteen years old, already as tall as an adult.Seeing Oboi coming, he hurriedly said: "Master Fuchen, please wait first, and wait for this servant to report to the emperor!" Aobai stared sideways, Zhang Shande backed away in fright.The eunuch was afraid and bowed his head to get out of the way.Wo He who was standing at the gate of the hall saw him, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Oboi and said, "Master Fuchen, please wait a moment!" Aobai slapped Wohe with his palm, and said: "I want to see the emperor, do you need your permission?" Oohe's eyes were swollen, and he didn't dare to rub his hands. He lowered his head and said, "Master Fuchen, you are a minister of the government, leading the guards and servants. You taught me all the rules that I know!" Aobai shouted: "I have taught you, but no one has taught me!" Suo'etu suddenly rushed out from the Hongde Hall and shouted: "Who is making noise outside?" Seeing that it was Oboi, he hurriedly cupped his hands, "Ah, it turns out that it is the Fuchen Lord! You are so presumptuous! Why are you in Fufu?" Disrespectful in front of my lord! Hurry up and report to the emperor, the assistant minister Oboi will see you!" At this time Zhou Ruhai ran out in a hurry, and shouted: "Auxiliary Minister Gong Aobai sees you!" Obai entered the hall, knelt down and bowed: "The minister, Obai pays his respects to the emperor!" The emperor knew that Oboi was making noise outside, but he just ignored it, and said, "You don't need to be polite, just get up and sit down. You are my old minister, and I promise you that you don't have to bow down from now on." After hearing this, Aobai said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I have been fighting for many years, and I have many old wounds on my body. It is very difficult to kneel when I am old." Wei Xiangshu, Chen Tingjing and Gao Shiqi all bowed to Aobai, saying that they had seen the minister.Aobai looked around, seeing the guards saluting him, he felt very displeased. The emperor said: "Oboi, you work hard on state affairs all day long. I am tired of studying every day, but thinking of you working so hard, I am not afraid of hardship." Obai said: "The old minister has nothing else to do, but he hasn't seen the emperor for a few days, and he misses him very much. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding! Someone outside said that the old minister doesn't care about the emperor at all, and he hasn't paid his respects to the emperor for many days. The old minister kowtowed to the emperor today , only Master Wei, Chen Tingjing and Gao Shiqi saw it, and none of these children saw it!" Suo'etu panicked immediately, and hurriedly instructed his left and right: "You really have no rules, meet your lord Fuchen quickly!" Only then did the guards bow their hands and salute, saying that they had seen the minister!After all, the emperor was young, so he was a little scared in his heart.Aobai said again: "Master Wei, the emperor is young and studies hard. Please take it easy. The emperor wants to relax, so you can serve the emperor and have fun." Wei Xiangshu said: "Your Majesty has worked very hard, and he has not relaxed in his riding and shooting." Aobai smiled and said: "The old minister can rest assured. The old minister hopes that the emperor will finish his studies soon, then the old minister can return to his hometown, raise a few horses, herd a few sheep, and live a leisurely life." But the emperor said: "Oboi must not have such thoughts. My emperor's grandmother said that the four assistant ministers and workers are all close relatives of the Aixinjueluo family. This family needs your help to look after it!" Ao Bai kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his trust in the old ancestors. I am very grateful! The emperor just concentrate on studying, and I will leave." The emperor shouted: "Suo'etu, send off the assistant minister." Suo'etu sent Aobai out of the Hongde Palace, the guards and eunuchs only slightly bowed their heads.Aobai stood still, his eyes swept around.Suo'etu hurriedly said: "You are so rude! Send off to your lord!" The guards and eunuchs had to shout in unison to send you off to your lord.Only then did Oboi snort, and strode away.Suo'etu looked back and saw Zhang Shande behind him, so he whispered something to him.Zhang Shande was shocked when he heard the words, and shook his head in fright. Wei Xiangshu saw that the emperor was really frightened just now, so he said: "Your Majesty, let's finish reading the book today. How about please wait for the emperor to ride a horse?" The emperor said: "My lord assistant is afraid that I will suffer from studying hard, but he has to work harder to deal with state affairs. Master Wei, let's continue with the new book." Suo'etu winked at Zhang Shande.Zhang Shande just pretended not to see it, and still stood there numbly.Suo Etu glared at him, and Zhang Shande said: "Your Majesty, Oboi said he came to visit the Emperor, but he is roaring and making noise here, which is very disrespectful!" But Suo'etu immediately scolded: "You dog slave, how dare you deliberately instigate between the emperor and the assistant ministers!" So it turned out that Zhang Shande's words were taught to him by Suo'etu, but he came to scold him again. Zhang Shande was terrified, and quickly knelt down, saying: "This servant deserves to die! But this servant is afraid that the emperor will frighten me, so I really can't stand it!" The emperor smiled and said: "Is it easy to scare you? You all think too much, and the ministers are all for my own good. Chen Tingjing, I heard that you were recommended by Aobai. Tell me that I am going to How about riding a horse? Or reading?" Chen Tingjing said: "Back to the emperor, reading, riding and shooting are very important. Now the emperor wants to study, so read." The emperor said: "Master Wei, I'm according to you. I won't talk about new books right now. But I don't want to ride a horse either. I want to hear some historical anecdotes, so let Chen Tingjing tell them." Wei Xiangshu nodded and said: "Follow the emperor's will. History is very important for governing the country." Chen Tingjing said: "The minister complies with the order. I don't know if the minister is speaking casually, or the emperor wants to know some anecdotes. The emperor said, "Tell me about Wang Mang!" Wei Xiangshu was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, this historical event is complicated, and it won't be too late to talk about it in a few years." The emperor said: "In the past dynasties, there have been many emperors and ministers, but I am not interested in many, and there are even fewer monarchs and ministers worthy of careful consideration. Although I am young, I have heard of Wang Mang. I just want to listen to Chen Tingjing Let’s talk about Wang Mang carefully.” Wei Xiangshu only said that he would talk about this historical event in a few years, but he can talk about other things today.Gao Shiqi suffered a lot last time, but just stood there silently. The emperor said: "It's really strange! I want to hear the story of Wang Mang, but you seem to be jealous of something. Is there still Wang Mang in the country? Chen Tingjing, tell me!" Chen Tingjing was very embarrassed and looked at Wei Xiangshu.Wei Xiangshu said: "Chen Tingjing, the emperor wants to hear it, so you can talk about it." Chen Tingjing was still hesitant, and it took him a long time to start talking: "In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, there were many powerful people in the world, there were many cronies in the court, and foreign relatives scrambled for power. The country was in great danger. Wang Mang was a capable minister. Liu Yan. However, Wang Mang is not only a capable minister, but also a traitor. He took the opportunity to assassinate Emperor Ping Liu Yan, helped the two-year-old Ruziying to be the emperor, and took charge of the court by himself. After less than three years of regent, he simply pulled Ruziying from the throne , enthroned himself." The emperor asked: "How old was Liu Yan, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, when he was killed?" Chen Tingjing said, "Fourteen years old!" Unexpectedly, the emperor replied again: "I am ten years old this year, how many years are there until I am fourteen?" As soon as the emperor said this, he immediately fell to his knees in front of him.Wei kowtowed to the book and said: "Your Majesty, if these words are spread today, people will be killed! The first to bear the brunt is the old minister. The old minister's life is like grass, and death is not a pity. It's just that if these words are used by traitors, it will inevitably endanger people. Harmony between the monarch and his subjects will lead to great disaster!" The emperor asked: "Master Wei is afraid that someone will kill me before I am fourteen?" Suo'etu shouted: "Chen Tingjing is really damned!" Although Chen Tingjing was afraid, but since he said it, he had to say it thoroughly, otherwise it would be a crime, so he said: "Your Majesty, although what I said just now is a historical fact, I don't agree with the knowledge in it. Since the Emperor asks, I will Feel free to speak your mind!" Wei Xiangshu shook his head and said, "Ting Jing, stop talking!" Chen Tingjing said: "Tingjing is the one who does things and the other is responsible, and has nothing to do with Master Wei! Wang Mang is unfaithful, but the reason why he dared to usurp the Han is because of the cowardice and incompetence of Emperor Han Ping! History has a terrible reincarnation. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuguang restored Han However, in less than two hundred years, Cao Cao appeared again. Cao Cao was also called a traitor by the world, but if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie was not weak and deceitful, how could Cao Cao dare to be rebellious?" Gao Shiqi spoke this time, and said: "Wang Mang and Cao Cao are the villains and villains who have been reviled by all ages. Ting Jing, isn't it the same as calling out their souls for them? Don't say any more." Chen Tingjing ignored everyone, and only said to the emperor: "I haven't finished my speech yet!" Wei Xiangshu sternly shouted: "Ting Jing, I beg you, don't say another word!" The emperor still wanted to listen, and Chen Tingjing said again: "The emperor is talented, diligent and studious, and he will surely become a sage king of a generation! Just because the emperor is ten years old, he can ask about Wang Mang, which can be said to be far-sighted. History is in the Now, the alarm bells are ringing in the ears, the emperor should work harder, sharpen assiduously, and don't slack off for a moment!" Suo'etu said: "Chen Tingjing, are you scaring the emperor?" Only then did Chen Tingjing say: "Your Majesty, I have finished my words. If you offend the Emperor, please punish me!" Suo'etu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Tingjing's bewitching words are absolutely unacceptable!" The emperor laughed and said, "No, I have listened to every word Chen Tingjing said! Chen Tingjing, your insight is extraordinary, and I appreciate you!" Chen Tingjing said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for lenient loans!" The emperor stood up, patted Chen Tingjing on the shoulder, and said: "You are not guilty, you have made merit today! I understand what you said, and I will work harder. Chen Tingjing, all dynasties, such usurping stories as Wang Mang and Cao Cao , more than one or two. I order you to make these stories clear and tell me one by one!" Wei Xiangshu was afraid that there would be trouble again, so he said: "The emperor's most important thing right now is to study, and it won't be too late to tell the stories of the previous dynasty slowly in the future." The emperor said: "It is better to learn more about the rise and fall of previous dynasties than to read a few dead books! I don't want to be Liu Yan!" Chen Tingjing said: "Your Majesty understands this truth, and I am very pleased! What Master Wei said is right, it is important for His Majesty to study now!" The emperor said: "I want to read my books, and I have to listen to stories of rise and fall. Chen Tingjing, I want to play Ming Tai Empress Dowager, and she will reward you very much!" Wei Xiangshu hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that no one is allowed to reveal a word about what happened in the Hongde Palace today! Chen Tingjing is right, but he is afraid of spreading rumors and causing trouble. Therefore , don’t say anything about the Empress Dowager.” The emperor thought for a while, and said: "Master Zhunwei's words. You all listen, whoever goes outside to talk about today's affairs, I will kill him!" The emperor finished school in the morning, Zhou Ruhai watched Konger go out to secretly report to Oboi.Soetu would naturally tell Ama about this.Wei Xiangshu knew that today's events would be spread, so he might as well go ahead and see the Empress Dowager after school. Obai heard what Zhou Ruhai said about the Hongde Palace, and immediately went to find Mingzhu, and said, "Mingzhu, you introduced Chen Tingjing to this old man, and you said he was loyal and trustworthy. He actually told the emperor the story of Wang Mang's usurping a man." ! This is clearly reminding the emperor that this old man will become Wang Mang! What is Chen Tingjing's intentions!" Mingzhu said: "Do you want to ask Chen Tingjing for details?" Aobai said: "Why do you need to ask? Chen Tingjing not only talked about it today, but he will continue to talk about it in the future! This Chen Tingjing, he is at odds with the old man! Thanks to Zhou Ruhai, otherwise the old man is still in the dark!" Mingzhu asked: "Master Fuchen, how do you want to deal with this matter?" Obai said: "Let Chen Tingjing never see the third elder brother!" Mingzhu said: "He is the emperor now." Obai got angry and said, "I know he is the emperor! Chen Tingjing will teach the emperor to ruin sooner or later! Get Chen Tingjing out of the emperor first, and then find something to kill him! How can we keep such an ungrateful person?" use!" Mingzhu said: "Mingzhu thinks that this matter needs to be considered carefully." Obai said: "The old man doesn't think too much when he encounters troubles, he cuts the mess quickly! Master Wei also needs to be replaced!" Mingzhu said: "The late Emperor and the Empress Dowager trusted Master Wei very much, I'm afraid they won't be able to touch him!" Ao Bai said: "You don't need to worry too much! The people around the emperor should all be replaced! Zhou Ruhai, please be careful and find something for them!" Zhou Ruhai nodded and said: "The eunuchs and guards in Qianqing Palace, I have already found the trouble for them!" Aobai hurriedly said, "Oh? Tell me quickly and listen." Zhou Ruhai said: "The guards, such as Wo He, are good at riding imperial horses, and taking imperial bows and arrows to kill deer, what should be done according to the law?" Aobai said in shock: "There is such a thing? Not only is it taken away, it is a death penalty!" Zhou Ruhai said again: "The eunuchs like Zhang Shande used the emperor's chamber pot as a spittoon, spitting in it!" Mingzhu couldn't help laughing when she heard that, but Oboi said, "A traitor! You should be killed! Chen Tingjing should be killed too. If you give him a crime, say that he has evil intentions, bewitches with evil words, and separates the monarch and his ministers!" Mingzhu said: "Using this reason to kill Chen Tingjing, I'm afraid it's a bit far-fetched." Aobai's eyes turned red early, and he said: "Whether he is far-fetched or not, let's drive him away from the emperor first! Wei Xiangshu indulges Chen Tingjing, and he must not let it go! No matter, it's settled like this!" That day the emperor was still studying in the Hongde Hall, when suddenly there was a commotion outside.Suo'etu happened to be accompanying him, so he hurriedly ran out, seeing Oboi leading many guards in, he hurriedly asked, "Master Fuchen, what is this..." Aobai didn't answer, he just led the people inside.Suo'etu saw that the situation was not good, and shouted sharply: "Master Fuchen, you want to kill the king!" But Aobai yelled in turn: "Suo'etu, don't you yell! You startled Sheng Jia, I'm asking you!" The guards of Hongde Hall quickly drew their knives, but the people brought by Obai were as fast as a whirlwind, and immediately surrounded them. The emperor came out and shouted: "Oboi, what do you want to do?" Aobai kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I want the Qing emperor to side me today!" Immediately, the guards led by Oboi read out the proclamation: "The guards of Qianqing Palace, Wohe, Xizhu, Zheketu, Jue Luoselbi, etc., are good at riding imperial horses and taking imperial bows and arrows to kill deer. They are treasonous! Those imperial guards In front of the ministers and ministers of the auxiliary government, he did not pay respects according to the rules, his words and deeds were contemptuous, and he lost the dignity of the country. Zhang Shande, the internal eunuch, and others were disrespectful to the emperor and desecrated the holy body. His crimes were ashamed. Chen Tingjing had bad intentions, bewitched the emperor, and separated the emperor and ministers. It is an unforgivable crime for Xiang Shu to indulge Chen Tingjing!" The emperor stared at Oboi and said loudly: "Oboi, you are talking nonsense!" Seeing that the situation was under control, Obai knelt down and said, "I can't bear to watch the emperor be with wolves and foxes all day long!" Aobai's guards had already put the knife on Chen Tingjing's neck. Chen Tingjing thought he was dead anyway, so he said loudly: "My lord, I was asked by the emperor to tell the story of the rise and fall of the past dynasties. What's wrong? Your Majesty At the age of 10, he knows how to learn from history. He has the image of a holy emperor and Mingjun. I am really a god! Are there still people who want to follow Wang Mang's example? Your lord is under the order of the late emperor to assist the government and work hard. You should feel comforted to meet such an intelligent emperor. Why do you go to war?" The emperor asked: "Oboi, tell me, who wants to be Wang Mang?" Aobai stood up and shouted at Chen Tingjing: "Chen Tingjing, you are still instigating the emperor when you are about to die! I will kill you now!" Chen Tingjing raised the knife on his neck immediately.At this time, Wei Xiangshu pushed Chen Tingjing away, and the knife froze in mid-air. Obai glared angrily and said, "Wei Xiangshu, don't think that this old man dares not kill you!" Wei Xiangshu said: "Killing the old man, what a pity! You have to think about yourself!" Aobai laughed loudly and said, "What is there to think about, old man? This old man is on the side of the Lord, to do justice for the heavens!" Wei Xiangshu said: "I am worried about how you can explain today's events to the ten-year-old emperor! If the emperor was not born in the emperor's family, he would still be acting like a baby in front of his parents! But you want him to watch so many heads fall !" Ao Bai said: "Being an emperor is born to kill, and you are afraid of seeing the head? The opinion of a scholar, the benevolence of a woman!" Hearing what Wei Xiangshu said, the emperor yelled Master Wei, threw himself into the old man's arms, and began to cry.Wei Xiangshu also burst into tears, hugging the emperor. The emperor suddenly stopped crying, turned his head and said: "I am not afraid of seeing people's heads fall to the ground! Oboi, I understand the emperor's grandmother, your head will also fall to the ground!" Suo'etu shouted: "Master Fuchen, you frightened the emperor, let's see how you explain to the empress dowager!" But the emperor shouted: "Suo'etu, I was scared so easily? I ordered you to save me!" 索额图大声喊着救驾，可乾清宫的侍卫早换成了鳌拜的人，倭赫等御前侍卫已无法动弹。鳌拜吩咐手下侍卫：“留下几个人护驾，把所有的人都带走！” 鳌拜不管皇上如何哭闹，把卫向书、陈廷敬、倭赫、张善德等几十号人全部押走了。 鳌拜毕竟有些呈匹夫之勇，后边的事情还得往桌面上摆，不然他也难得向太皇太后跟满朝文武百官交差。索尼等臣工急忙请出太皇太后，各方争来争去几个回合，倭赫、西住、折克图、觉罗塞尔弼等侍卫跟太监十三人处斩，卫向书仍充帝师，陈廷敬不得再在皇上身边侍从。张善德原是也要处斩的，皇上哭着闹着保住了，仍回弘德殿遣用。
