Chapter 8 The eighth chapter Zhenhuangwei relies on the old queen to eliminate the treacherous eunuch and needs a little maid

At five o'clock the next day, when Kangxi woke up, Aunt Su Ma and Mrs. Sun had already arranged his clothes for him, and someone from the respect room came to invite the holy driver, and his shoulders were also ready.Kangxi hastily rinsed his mouth with green salt water, and took two mouthfuls of snacks indiscriminately.Then he ordered the driver to clear the door.When Emperor Shunzhi was in power, he established a rule that the emperor must summon his ministers every day, and Shunzhi himself practiced it himself.The princes had to get up at four o'clock every day to see their father off to the royal court, and then they all went back to their study rooms, so getting up early was a habit Kangxi had developed since childhood.

After not sleeping well all night, Kangxi's spirit was a little languid.But after getting up, he played a few rounds of "buku" in the courtyard as usual.The Manchus call boxing and martial arts Buku.I was sweating all over, and my sleepiness was gone early.At this moment, he was sitting in the shoulder chair, facing the morning breeze blowing in front of him, feeling cool and cool, and felt much calmer. When we arrived at Qianqingmen, it was the second quarter of Yin time.He saw Jie Shu as the head of the squad, and Aobai, Ye Bilong and Suke Saha kneeling down a row.The senior minister Suo'etu held a stack of documents in his arms and stood behind the three assistant ministers.Two rows of guards in front of the imperial guard, dressed in bright men's clothes, with swords hanging from their waists, stood under the dandelion.Kangxi glanced at it with his eyes, and saw Wei Dongting standing at the end with his head bowed, only the four people including Wohe were gone, he couldn't help feeling angry again, unexpectedly he jumped down without waiting for anyone to help him, and walked into the hall with his hands and sat in the middle Down.Then Sukesaha raised the curtain, Jie Shu, Aobai, Ye Bilong and Suo'etu filed in and knelt down.

The abbreviation of the memorial was reported by Suo'etu as usual.Suo'etu read it and told Kangxi at the same time, it took a full hour. While listening, Kangxi was playing with a sapphire ruyi on the table, thinking about how to ask Wohe about it.He glanced down, and saw Suksaha lying on the ground silently, and Ye Bilong couldn't help peeking at Oboi.Obai had long been impatient to hear, and raised his face to cut off Suo'etu's words: "You just read, who asked you to explain? Is the emperor not as good as you?" Suo'etu hurriedly apologized with a smile: "When you return to Zhongtang, this is the original edict of the Empress Dowager. I am afraid that the emperor will not understand, so I specially asked me to explain it." Obai said before he finished speaking: "These memorials, The court mail has already been sent out, so why bother talking so much!"

Seeing that Suo'etu's face was a little down, Kangxi changed the subject and asked, "Suo'etu, how is your father's illness?" Hearing the emperor's question about his father's condition, Suo'etu quickly knelt down and kowtowed and replied, "Thank you, Master Hong Fu, it seems that the phlegm and asthma are better this morning." "Well, go back and greet him for me." "Thank you, master." Suo'etu hurriedly kowtowed and played back. Obai saw that Kangxi had nothing to say, so he said: "If the emperor has no holy order, I will let the servants wait to leave." After speaking, he wanted to get up.

Kangxi put Ruyi down gently, and said: "What are you busy with, I still have something to ask──this Wohe, Xizhu and the others have always been working in front of me. Take it? How to deal with him, I would like to hear." According to the ancestral system, the emperor who was not in charge of the government entrusted the assistant ministers with full authority to handle government affairs, and the daily performances were actually bureaucratic, so just listen to it.Now that Kangxi wants to inquire about this matter, Ye Bilong felt a little surprised. He was stunned at first, kowtowed and replied: "Qizou Emperor, Wuhe, Xizhu, Zheketu, and Jue Luosaierbi are good at riding royal horses. Shooting deer with imperial bows and arrows in the imperial garden is disrespectful! Yesterday the ministers and others met and dismissed four of them for interrogation. Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has detained them for investigation. As for the punishment——" He thought for a while and then said: "The assistant government has not yet It is agreed that I will play long live after the minister waits for the meeting."

Aobai is very dissatisfied with Ye Bilong's answer, but Ye Bilong has always been subdued by himself, so it's not good.After thinking for a while, he finally felt suffocated, so he raised his head and said coldly: "The emperor is still in Youchong, these political affairs should be implemented according to the legacy of the former emperor, and the ministers will rule and implement them!" Before the words were finished, Kangxi suddenly asked: "Could it be that I can't even ask?" A question made several ministers choke, so they bowed their heads and remained silent, Oboi thought to himself: "If he doesn't stop him this time, he will have to ask about everything in the future, so what kind of government is there?" After a long time, he hesitated. Huan said: "According to the teaching of the ancestors, the emperor is not in power, so you can't ask. But this time it is related to the palace, so we might as well make an exception."

This is to say "not to be an example", of course Kangxi heard it, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Okay then, let's continue with the words just now, what crime should this wohe be charged with?" "In the Forbidden City, you are good at riding a royal horse," Oboi gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "It is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the city should be abandoned; it is the father Feiyang Gu who committed crimes, uttered complaints, and roared in court, and should be abandoned together." city!"

"Abandoning the market" is execution.Kangxi couldn't help being startled: "The four of them are the bodyguards accompanying the late emperor, and Fei Yanggu is the inner court minister. He has always been cautious and has no fault. It is too much to punish him with death just because he rides a royal horse! enough." "It's too late!" Ao Bai sneered back and said, "Your Majesty, the national code should not be discarded for private reasons. There are clear instructions in ancient times! Feiyanggu and Wohe were executed yesterday afternoon!" The words uttered startled Ye Bilong and Sukesaha, they glanced at each other, and their faces became very pale.Suke Saha kowtowed and said: "The minister and others have not agreed on the matter of killing Wohe. This is Ao Zhongtang's decision to kill the emperor and his ministers without authorization. I beg the emperor to inquire about the crime!"

Aobai laughed and said, "Su Zhongtang, Wohe is good at riding royal horses. Didn't you also call him a 'damned slave'? Why do you feel sorry for him when he is really dead?" Suke Saha was at a loss for words, and was thinking about how to answer, but saw the Empress Dowager with a gloomy expression, helping Aunt Su Ma to step into the palace, Ye Bilong knew that the old woman was smart and capable, so she was immediately discouraged, and she fell down on the ground without feeling angry. Dare to come out.Aobai's heart skipped a beat, then he calmed down and said secretly: "She is not what she used to be, and now there is no Dorgon to support her!" However, even though he thought so, he dared not say a word.

After a while, I heard the Empress Dowager say calmly: "I'm old and useless. I only want to enjoy life these few years. I can see a peaceful day and everyone is safe. I can close my eyes and see Taizu Taizong." Yes. You assistant ministers, I thought it was good to see, and my heart is quite at ease." Everyone was surprised at how she said this, but suddenly her voice changed, and she raised her voice and said, "Who knows that's not the case at all! Do you think I can't kill you?" Then he hit the dragon case with a "slap".The tone of voice was so angry that even Kangxi trembled with fright.He usually sees her as just a kind grandmother, but Jie Shu repeatedly said that all the princes, Baylor, and Beizi are afraid of her, but he still doesn't believe it, but seeing this color today, it is considered an eye-opener.

The three assistants kowtowed again and again, and Suksaha said in a trembling voice: "Slave..." "It's none of your business!" The Empress Dowager stopped him coldly after he finished speaking: "I would like to know, Ye Bilong and Aobai, who is supporting you, who dares to make such a bold effort to come here without authorization?" This is the first anecdote since the founding of the country!" Seeing that the empress dowager was so aggressive, the three ministers still fell to the ground and did not answer.Ye Bilong always felt that the atmosphere would not be eased if he didn't speak anymore, so he coughed lightly and said: "The empress dowager is a thousand years old! The ministers and others did not go directly to Da Nei to take people, but the eunuch Wu Liangfu sent them out and took them outside the Meridian Gate. Yes." Suo'etu also took the opportunity to persuade: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, calm down! Don't be so angry that you will destroy the golden and jade body!" He said with a secret wink to signal Kangxi to end.Only Suksaha didn't make a sound. Kangxi didn't pay attention to Suo'etu's eyes, but the Empress Dowager saw it at a glance, so she stood up, took Kangxi's hand and said with a sneer: "Raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, what's the use of saying these! The emperor is in your eyes Here, he is just an ignorant naughty boy, but today my wife is troublesome! What are we considered "golden and precious"! You are worth more when you are angry!" After saying that, he pulled Kangxi away with a flick of his sleeves, Qingyu Ruyi Was brought down to the ground and fell to pieces! As soon as Kangxi and the others left, there was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone's faces were ashen, but Oboi stood up nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Stop kneeling, retreat, let's go back! I'll go to Sukesa again tomorrow." Ha, everyone, take the blame!" The grandparents and grandchildren left the gate of Qianqing, and the empress dowager ordered her followers: "The emperor will go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first, and Sister Man will take care of you." She also ordered Kangxi: "Today, the empress sent someone to call Suo'etu. Come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning." After saying that, he went by himself in Luanyu.Wei Dongting and other captains followed closely behind Kangxi.Mrs. Sun and Aunt Su Ma had been waiting at the entrance of Yongxiang. When they saw Kangxi, they hurried up to greet him.The little yellow gates carrying Chengyu came up at this moment, and Aunt Su Ma greeted: "No need!" They stopped in their tracks. Kangxi ignored everyone and just strode forward.When Fang arrived at Yuehua Gate, he had seen Wu Liangfu leading several eunuchs excitedly carrying an eight-treasure glass screen to meet him.Seeing Kangxi, he hurriedly stood up neatly. Wu Liangfu took a step forward, hit the ground with one leg and said: "My servant greets Lord Long Live!" After saying that, he raised his head with a smile on his face. Seeing Wu Liangfu's complacent expression, Kangxi was even more angry, and kept silent with his hands behind his back, staring fiercely at Wu Liangfu with both eyes.Wu Liangfu was smiling at first, but seeing Kangxi's gloomy face, he didn't ask him to get up, and Qian'er, who was tied down, never dared to lift up again, but avoided Kangxi's gaze in panic. Kangxi didn't leave Wu Liangfu behind, turned around and said to Aunt Su Ma, "It's just spring, and my body is so dry. The wind here is cool. Ask someone to bring a chair. I'll sit here." Don't wait for Su Mala When my aunt spoke, a few little yellow men rushed to the back early and picked up a carved boxwood chair.Kangxi sat down, and slowly asked Wu Liangfu, "Where are you going to send this eight-treasure glass screen?" When Kangxi opened his mouth, Wu Liangfu heaved a sigh of relief, and replied: "The last time Ao Zhongtang entered the palace to have an audience, the Empress Dowager gave him this screen." Kangxi couldn't remember this matter, thought for a while and asked: "Then why didn't you take it last time?" "If you go back to Long Live, Ao Zhongtang resigned at that time." "Oh, that's strange, since he resigned, why did you send him?" Kangxi asked, staring at him. Wu Liangfu was not smart enough in the first place, he was a "second-five eye", and he didn't understand the meaning of Kangxi's words, so he kowtowed and replied, "Ao Zhongtang asked someone to send a letter to ask. The servant also wants to do something to Ao Zhongtang." Filial piety. The slave thinks, Mr. Sony is ill, and the outside affairs all depend on Ao Zhongtang—" "Bastard!" Kangxi was furious, and said sharply, "So you boldly stole the screen and went out of the palace to curry favor with him? Let me ask you, who arrested Wohe?" Hearing Kangxi's question about this, Wu Liangfu knew the seriousness of the situation, and thought that if he didn't bring out the old Maitreya Buddha, Oboi, to suppress this little Bodhisattva, he would suffer a lot.So he bit the bullet and replied boldly: "This is not a slave's business. The slave is sent by order to lead people to Nawahe. Ao Zhongtang is in charge of the defense of the Forbidden City, and he should have the right to punish the criminals in the Six Palaces. This matter How can you implicate the servant?" After finishing speaking, he did not kowtow, but stared at Kangxi intently. Wu Liangfu was so arrogant and rude, Kangxi was annoyed.He turned around and asked Lagu Su Ma: "Do you think the servants are involved in this incident?" Aunt Su Ma replied: "If you don't talk about anything else, you will not be punished for the arrogance of this slave! However, he is the godson of Oboi Zhongtang now, the emperor might as well give him some dignity and give him a little bit of respect." never mind!" "Yes, there is no crime to be punished!" Kangxi was so excited by these lukewarm "pleading words", he slapped his chair and stood up and said: "You father and son exercise power and take my confidant guards, how dare you?" Say 'no connection'! Pass the decree and call Zhao Bingzheng from the respected office!" Wu Liangfu usually pretends to be powerful and has offended many people. Everyone hates him to the bone. Now that Long Live Lord is angry and wants to punish him, he can't wait for this. A little Huangmen ran down to deliver the decree. Seeing someone call Zhao Bingzheng, Wu Liangfu felt a shiver in his heart, thinking: "Could it be that you want to develop me today?" Immediately, a cold sweat broke out on his head, he took a few steps forward, and said with a mournful face: "The servant knows It's over. Long live Lord, I have been serving the late emperor for many years as a slave, please forgive me for the first time!" "First time?" Aunt Su Ma replied coldly from the side: "Long Live Lord told you to slap your mouth last time, did you slap?" Wu Liangfu bumped into each other on the ground, and hurriedly said: "I clapped my hands, if you don't believe me, ask little Wu!" "You are the only smart person in the world?" Aunt Su Ma said coldly: "If I don't know the details, how dare I ask you? Although Xiao Wuzi has no status, he was on a mission last time. How dare you slap his mouth! " Hearing this, Kangxi was so angry that he trembled all over, and cursed: "Okay! This slave is really daring. Has Zhao Bingzheng come yet?" Zhao Bingzheng came early, looked at it coldly for a while, felt that the matter was really tricky, and had no idea, when Kangxi asked him, he knelt down and replied, "Slave Zhao Bingzheng!" Kangxi said: "You have seen it all, what should this Wu Liangfu do?" Zhao Bingzheng was in a difficult situation at the moment. He came up with an idea, kowtowed and replied: "It should be the imperial staff!" This is a light but heavy treatment, which fell into Kangxi's arms, and he said at the time: "Just do as you say, Tingzhang! You beat me hard for me!" Zhao Bingzheng stood up and waved his hands out, several eunuchs who were in charge of punishment came over viciously, dragged Wu Liangfu and left.Seeing Zhao Bingzheng standing still, Kangxi sternly said: "You are not going to prison, what are you doing standing here?" With a shake of his head, he said, "Just hit it, don't talk too much!" When the beating reached thirty or so, Wu Liangfu was already bruised and bruised. He couldn't take it anymore, and howled at the top of his voice, "Ao Zhongtang, my lord! Come and save me! I'm going to be beaten to death!" When Kangxi heard Wu Liangfu calling for mercy in pain, he actually called out "Ao Zhongtang", and he became even more furious, and shouted at the entrance of Yongxiang outside: "Hit, hit! Don't say that you are the one who fucked me, even the godfather won't help!" .” As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the board had stopped, and the people stopped calling.Zhao Bingzheng came to reply and said: "Long Live Lord, Wu Liangfu has fainted to death." Kangxi looked back at Aunt Su Ma.Aunt Su Ma nodded with an almost imperceptible smile, and said: "Long live Lord, just develop him, and there is no need to say more about the unnecessary words just now." But Mrs. Sun was a little impatient, stepped forward and said: "Amitabha! I can't beat it anymore. I beg your old man to stop." Kangxi smiled and said: "Em, don't worry about it, I'm here!" Turning around, he ordered: "Hit, keep hitting, kill this stinky bastard!" When Zhao Bingzheng went back outside and looked at Wu Liangfu, he woke up leisurely.He looked at the thugs on the left and right, stepped forward, bowed his hands to Wu Liangfu, and said loudly: "Eunuch Wu, it's just that the villain is merciless. Long live Lord wants your life today, and no one can come to save you right now." Miss you and I have been friends for many years, brother told them to act more quickly, so that you will not suffer. If you have anything to say, you might as well tell the villain.” Wu Liangfu knew that the deadline had come, and he was dead anyway, so he nodded on the ground with his eyes closed, and said intermittently, "Tell Ao... Godfather... that I died... I was wronged... I did it for him..." Zhao Bingzheng did not agree. After he finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, an eunuch raised a board and struck it hard on the back of his head.Wu Liangfu uttered a strange cry, spat out a mouthful of blood, kicked his legs a few times, and then cried out. Only then did Kangxi feel that the depression in his heart had calmed down a bit, and he got up and wanted to go home, when suddenly a eunuch came up and began to play: "Ao Zhongtang handed over the sign to see the Holy One." "No!" Kangxi replied coldly, turned around and told Wei Dongting: "You still don't use the Suo Mansion to pass on the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager!"
