Chapter 46 The forty-sixth round of He Zhiming's tongue-to-mouth battle in the duke's mansion, Emperor Kangxi personally laid out the copper net array

To celebrate Oboi's being crowned as the first-class grand master, the Aoboi mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, a grand feast was held, and there was a lot of noise in the middle of the night. At 2 o'clock, Oboi excused himself from feeling unwell and went back to the Heshou Hall alone.Bumbleshan, Nemo, Murima, Jishi, and Ge Chuha also came in and gathered here to discuss matters, waiting for Taibitu's good news. "It's really annoying!" Ge Chuha said, "The scouts I sent couldn't send any news back. The admirals of the nine gates sealed off a street, and no one could enter, and no one came out."

"Taibitu must have succeeded." Ji Shi said. "Then what does Wu Liuyi Street mean?" Aobai pondered, "Wu Tiegai has always been at odds with me, and I'm afraid that the hundred thousand silver won't be able to buy his heart!" Ji Shi laughed and said, "Master, don't worry, one hundred thousand silver, plus a military servant, is enough. Don't forget that he was born as a beggar! This blockade shows that he will not intervene in both sides. "Not necessarily," said Bumble, who had been silent for a long time, "I don't see Taibitu replying, we must make other arrangements."

Ge Chuha blushed, and said with a wave: "Seal the Meridian Gate, lock the Xuanwu Gate, let him become the admiral of the nine gates and become the admiral of the seven gates. We are working inside, what can he get in the way?" Bumble clapped his palms and praised: "This plan is very good. It's really a three-day farewell, so let's look at it with admiration!" He stood up excitedly, "As long as we succeed in Da Nei, not to mention iron beggars, even steel beggars have to weigh it! " Just as he was talking, the door officer hurried in, without saluting, he went straight to Aobai and whispered a few words.Aobai showed joy, and ordered: "Call him in!" Turning his face to the crowd, he said: "Okay, someone from Taibitu has delivered a letter!" Everyone immediately fell silent.

Everyone in the hall looked out of the door with wide-eyed eyes, and saw a man who looked like a scholar walking in behind Goshha. Although the scholar was not impressive in appearance, he was surprisingly calm and calm. When he entered, he bowed to Oboi and said, "He Zhiming has been entrusted by someone to congratulate the father-in-law." Then he calmly bowed to everyone and said, "Good morning, my lords!" Aobai saw his haughty expression, bowed his head and refused to bow, he was a bit unhappy at first, but when he looked carefully, he was very embarrassed, he didn't feel suspicious.Staring at him for a long time, he asked, "Did the Thai servant send you here?"

"Yes." He Zhiming said, and handed Taibitu's handwritten note with both hands.Ao Bai held it in his hand and handed it to Bumbleshan, and asked again: "Do you know what this note means?" He Zhiming blinked his black beans, and smiled slyly: "The note The above meaning is very clear, and the Grand Master himself understands it, so why should I, He Mouming, explain it!" Seeing that this servant-like man dared to be so rude, Namo slapped the case and shouted: "Presumptuous, you are not allowed to be so arrogant! "Hehehehe..." He Zhiming looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "My lord, you are so ignorant. Anyone who wants to win the world should be respectful to the virtuous and the corporal. Doesn't it mean that scholars are more expensive than princes and kings? Ask me!"

Bumbleshan stood up, squinted at He Zhiming and said, "It's so strange! I'm afraid it's not from Taibitu's house, right?" "Say it again, I'm He Zhiming, a staff member under the tent of General Iron Beggar." After finishing speaking, he smiled again, "Why, can't I come to deliver the letter?" "He Zhiming—" Bumble rolled his eyes pretending to be in thought. "Aren't you Master Bumbleshan?" He Zhiming said, "You are so forgetful! Who did you give the one hundred thousand taels of silver you sent?" "Oh, it's for you!—"

"Do you think that one hundred thousand taels of silver can send a beggar?" "Huh?" Bumble looked at He Zhiming and said, "So what if you can't get rid of it?" "If you send the one hundred thousand taels of silver to the little emperor, Grand Master Ao will bring your class master and all the gentlemen present, and you will go to the West Market for a banquet in no time!" He Zhiming Heidou's eyes rolled around, and he stroked his neck with his hand, "A broken drum sounded, and two pieces of broken gongs struck...'Zha' a knife!"

Hearing this, Oboi suddenly said coldly, "I don't think so, but now I can ask you to try the knife first!" He said and cast a sidelong glance at the crowd.Murima, Namo, and Ge Chuha drew out their knives with a "swish" and stared at He Zhiming viciously.Bumble asked in a low voice, "What's your purpose here? Is it just to make fun of us?" He Zhiming stared straight into Bumbleshan's eyes, and said for a long time: "Since you treat me like this and refuse to win my trust, what's the use of telling me! If you believe it, you should treat it with courtesy; if you don't believe it, kill me." That's it!"

Bumbleshan changed his face and said: "I can't believe you, push it out!" Ge Chuha swooped over, picked up He Zhiming and left.He Zhiming scolded: "Go away! I can go by myself!" He stood up, turned around and left. "Come back!" Bumblesham suddenly stopped and laughed dryly. "It's not that cheap. Come on, what are you doing here?" "Block it!" "Ask for a seal? What are you asking for? Didn't I already give you one hundred thousand taels of silver?" He Zhiming suddenly relaxed and smiled: "I will distribute your one hundred thousand taels of silver to several capable generals under Mr. Wu's account. I don't know what to do now. Your servant Taibitu is now sitting in the admiral's mansion. Wu Liu As soon as I became a prisoner, I, He Zhiming, felt betrayed on the inside and betrayed righteousness on the outside, who would have thought that you would be such a villain who steals like a dog and a rat, you can't accomplish anything great!"

These words made everyone dumbfounded.Even Oboi didn't expect that He Zhiming's money would be used in such a way, and the person who came here could be regarded as a courageous counselor.Bumbleshan also couldn't help thinking to himself: "It would be better to give this person the post of Admiral of the Nine Schools at the beginning!" Aobai was very excited, took the note from Bumbleshan's hand, examined it carefully, confirmed that it was definitely Taibitu's handwriting, and praised: "Good job, I can't see that you are really good at it!" He He smugly walked down the ground with his hands behind his back and said: "However, I can make a wish now, and when it is done, I will give you the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, how about it?"

He Zhiming bowed and greeted him, "He is just acting in accordance with the sky. Zhiming watched the sky at night and saw that the Yinghuo star violated the Ziwei star, and the emperor star changed his position. This is the will of God, and it is ominous to go against it-the Grand Master should be a sign of this. May the world be peaceful and the common people enjoy peace and happiness when things are done. At that time, I, He, will go to the mountains with my hair scattered, and it will be enough to die." "Why?" Obai asked in surprise. "Wu Tiegai is my old master, and now I have lost my love, how do people in the world think of me, and what face will I have when I see my old friend again?" He Zhiming said, his eye circles were already red, and even today, I still regret it beyond reach.But after the request is fulfilled, I pray that Lord Ao will spare Lord Wu from dying, and my wish will be fulfilled! "He spoke sincerely and very touchingly, even Murima and Ge Chuha were moved. "Iron Beggar is a good official, he can be used as a good official," Obai also sighed, "I'm not willing to put him to death, sir, don't worry." He Zhiming looked happy when he saw the success, and bowed to the ground and said, "That's it, I'm leaving! The yamen over there is not stable, the soldiers below don't know about the incident in the yamen, and some of the generals at the top will inevitably be dissatisfied. Lord Tai and Lord Li are about to Do your best to take precautions, so Te Zhiming is alone to deliver the letter——I have to rush back to help with the cooking." Aobai was full of ecstasy, restrained himself and said, "Mr. Thank you! Tell Tai and Li to close the Meridian Gate and Shenwu Gate, tell them to enforce martial law along the way, and don't leak the news." He Zhiming was slightly stunned, and asked: "The post of admiral of the Nine Gates has been obtained, and Beijing is full of people from grand masters. Why do you need to seal the Meridian Gate and the Shenwu Gate? Why don't you decide to respond to it yourself?" Aobai laughed and said, "I can take care of the affairs in the Meridian Gate by myself. Why do you want to raise up the teachers and make the city full of wind and rain?" "Otherwise!" He Zhiming said, "Tai, Li and other generals, as well as the lives of the subordinates, are tied to this. How can we sit idly by? Once there is a change, it can be rescued. It is the best policy to add security to everything!" Bumbleshan also hurriedly said: "Mr. He is right, there is more safety than safety! It's better to let them enter the palace to take care of it." The emotions of the people in the room suddenly became active.Some said that the Heavenly Soldiers should be brought into the Wenhua and Wuying Halls; some said it was better to ambush in the upper study room;In the end, it was Aobai who said that it should be located in the second hall of Zhonghe and Baohe, with a condescending tendency, and at the same time, one can be hidden in the court rooms on both sides. It took half an hour to decide. There were so many people who stayed up all night.At this moment, Kangxi was half lying on the imperial couch in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, staring at the algae well above with piercing eyes.Aunt Su Ma and the eunuch Zhang Wanqiang sat on the lower footrest one by one, also thinking silently.Dozens of candles in the hall were brightly lit, and the maids and eunuchs standing in the corridors outside the hall were silent.Kangxi, Lagu Su Ma and Zhang Wanqiang all knew very well that a violent storm was about to break out in the court that had been up and down for hundreds of years.The scene of talking in front of the Empress Dowager in the afternoon is still vivid in my mind.That was what Kangxi knelt down and said to the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Ning after all the eunuchs and maids were dismissed.He said: "Your emperor can't be Adou, you can't be Han Xiandi, and you can't be Chai Zongxun of the Later Zhou Dynasty! You want to rule the world by yourself and be the ruler of a generation! I want to punish traitors and capture Oboi, and the action is scheduled for tomorrow." .” "Is the emperor ready?" The Empress Dowager said calmly, "This matter must be done sooner or later!" "Grandmother, since my ancestors established the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, I have never heard of such a bold and reckless courtier. "Oboi received the incomparable kindness of the late emperor, and as a trustworthy minister, for the past eight years he has bullied his colleagues, killed his assistant ministers, trampled on the imperial court, and roared at the golden palace. Tang, my great Qing Dynasty will fall into the hands of Oboi sooner or later? " Seeing the great empress dowager nodding frequently, Kangxi plucked up his courage and said again: "The matter of enclosing the land has harmed the country and the people. It was originally a bad government by the previous government. After the grandfather made a rough plan for the world, he deliberately abolished it. The son emperor followed the legacy and repeatedly ordered it to be done." The imperial edict stopped the ban. Oboi dared to rely on his power and act recklessly, and even surrounded the land of Huangzhuang under the banner of Huanghuang. Because of this, troubles often occurred in the upper three banners. Seduced by the remnants of the Nanming Dynasty, he became an enemy of the Qing Dynasty." These words touched the heartache, and the righteous words were so strict that even a person like the Empress Dowager, who had experienced political risks for a long time, was moved by hearing it. Aunt Su Ma, who was kneeling by the side, couldn't help but also said: "Also, Oboi blatantly spread false imperial edicts to search ministers' mansions and encircle and suppress people's houses, with the intention of killing the king and becoming self-reliant!" "Let's not say that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong. Just because he searched the minister's residence without the edict, it is an unforgivable crime." Having said that, Kangxi looked up at the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager was very excited at this time, her white hair was trembling slightly.She glanced at Kangxi, and said firmly: "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil! But this matter is of the utmost importance, the emperor must proceed with caution and make careful arrangements." "Yes! The emperor has made arrangements, and he did not dare to disturb the Lafayette. Today is a last resort, so I will let you know in advance, but the outcome is not yet decided, and there is fear of accidents. The emperor wants to ask the Lafayette to take up the car for a few days and stay away for a few days. The overall situation is a bit more stable, and the Emperor will personally welcome Luan back to the capital!" The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "Emperor, this is your filial piety, I appreciate it very much. But I am not going anywhere! I have issued a decree to be stationed in the Eight Banners of Rehe. I will go to Jingqin King in the starry night. I can arrive within two or three days." Beijing!" Kangxi didn't expect that this calm old grandmother had secretly dispatched troops to Beijing, and he immediately cheered up: "My son, thank the empress dowager for her great kindness!" With tears in her eyes, the Empress Dowager said excitedly: "I entered the palace at the age of fourteen. From your grandfather to your father for decades, I have gone through all kinds of hardships and dangers." Seeing the old man's determination, Kangxi couldn't help shivering when he thought of the battle of the next day: "The Lafayette respects this, and the emperor dare not disobey him. If there is any disagreement, please let the old man push it to the emperor." It's gone..." After saying that, weeping, Aunt Su Ma was also torn apart, but she didn't dare to cry out. ...Recalling this point, Kangxi jumped up from the couch and ordered: "Let's drive to the Xiandian Hall!" So Aunt Su Ma and Zhang Wanqiang led the lamp, and Kangxi also changed into an eunuch's uniform, mixed in and followed, from the Yuehua Gate through the Rijing Gate to enter the Compassionate Ning Palace.The imperial guards after the Qianqing palace thought they were the eunuchs watching the night, and let them come without interrogation.There is a corner on the north wall from the Cining Palace to the Yuqing Palace. Lagu Su Ma suppressed the news here, and half of the wall opened a crack silently, allowing only one person to pass through, waiting for Kangxi and the others. Go in, and slowly close again. After entering Yuqing Palace, Kangxi ordered to turn off the lights.The three of them quietly walked south along the east wall of the hall, as long as they stepped out of the south gate, they would arrive at Fengxian Hall without anyone noticing.As he was walking, suddenly a person appeared from behind the big bronze tripod in the corner of the hall. Aunt Su Ma took a step back in fright, almost screaming, Zhang Wanqiang straightened up, and took a step forward to protect the front. "Sun Dianchen?" Kangxi asked in a low voice. "Slave Sun Dianchen is here to welcome you!" "Is everything ready here?" "Slaves dare not neglect!" "This is a confidential matter!" "Yes, I respect the imperial decree. Each of the three craftsmen will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver. Now lock them up in the wine cellar and take medicine. They won't be able to wake up within three days!" "Okay!" Kangxi said, "You stay here, and I will come whenever I go!" Although he couldn't see his face in the dark ground, he could tell from his voice that he was extremely calm.The three of them walked through the quiet Yuqing Palace and turned to the east, and here is the Fengxian Palace. This Fengxian Hall was originally used by the Qing Dynasty to worship ancestors. Unless there is a big sacrifice and a big ceremony, there are only a few old servants waiting for it, so it is a deserted place.As soon as he reached the door, Mu Zixu had already come out to greet him.Kangxi changed into auspicious clothes at the entrance of the hall. He wore a velvet gauze crown on his head, a Shi Qingjiang silk jacket on his upper body, and a brand-new bright yellow Kesi clip gold dragon robe on his upper body. The handle is inlaid with a golden dragon sword, blue satin cool-leaf soap boots, and Bodhi beads hanging on the neck-a costume for an imperial court ceremony.Aunt Su Ma and Zhang Wanqiang worked for a long time before they got dressed, took a step back, and invited Kangxi in.Zhang Wanqiang and several old servants were in the corner room of the hall, Su Mala was worried, and went to watch the wind outside Fengxian Hall. Kangxi pressed his sword boldly, strode forward and pushed open the palace door, stepped in, and couldn't help being stunned.Looking at the silence from the outside of the hall, the inside of the hall is actually full of lights and candles, and the places where the window lattices see through are tightly covered with quilts. ——What is even more surprising is that under the portrait of Taizu Taizong, there is a chair, and the empress dowager, who is dressed in costumes and looks solemn, sits tall. ——At the bottom, headed by Wei Dongting, Mu Zixu, Stubborn Donkey, Hao Laosi, Lang Tan, etc. were kneeling side by side, and sixteen Yuqing Palace guards were kneeling in the second row. More than ten people kneeled neatly for half the hall. Kangxi couldn't help feeling excited.Ah, with the emperor's grandmother in charge, I will definitely handle it well!
