Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 924 "Controversy"
What is a "dead man"? He is brave and not afraid of death for his master, so he can be called a "dead man".

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has become common practice for rich and powerful families to raise scholars.Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Eight Banners were all slaves of the emperor due to the legacy of foreign customs. Where are there any "scholars"?
Even if there are strong men in the rich and powerful's mansion, they are nothing but slaves.

However, in a house in a small alley in the inner city, a "dead man" appeared.

Longkodo stood in the yard, looking at the dozens of corpses being dragged over, his face was gloomy and frightening.

Behind these corpses, there are several corpses, two young women in brocade clothes, a three- or four-year-old child, and several maidservants and servants dressed up.

Not a single one survived, and all were killed before they broke through the gate.

The blood was bright red, and there was a strong fishy smell in the yard.

Longkodo has led the army for many years, and he also has a bit of a tough air.Looking at these corpses, he just raised his eyebrows.

You can also see the difference in the way they dress.

Those two young women should be Wei Zhu's concubines, and the child is Wei Zhu's heir.

The outer house outside Weizhu Palace was slaughtered to nothing.

In addition to these slaughtered ones, there were also some house slaves in Tsing Yi, with no injuries on their bodies, bleeding to death from their seven orifices.

Looking at everything in front of him, Longkodo squinted his eyes, but he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited.

Although Wei Zhu is just a lowly slave with no roots, he is a servant in front of the imperial court.

The calculations outside have come to the imperial court, how can the emperor bear it?

"Go and call the best clerk in the yamen." Long Kedo ordered the attendant behind him, and then pointed to the body of the three-foot child, asking someone to place it properly. This is Director Wei's apex...

*
The killing here does not affect Cao Yong at all.He still didn't know that his little suggestion to Wei Zhu easily cost dozens of lives.

However, it would be unfair to attribute the deaths of these people to Cao Yong.Because he wasn't the one who conspired, it wasn't him who did the work, and it wasn't him who finally showed up and surrounded the house.

"It's time..." Cao Yong stood in front of the window, looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and whispered to himself.

"My lord! Seeking a humble position." Outside the door came the voice of clerk Jiang Jian.

"Come in!" Cao Yong received the pocket watch and turned around.

Jiang Jian took the document, handed it to Cao Yong, and said: "My lord, the official department has already done it. The magistrate of Fan County, Shandong, will exchange the silver at the bank of the household department tomorrow, and the file will be moved."

Cao Yong nodded, this is to fill in the vacancy for Zheng Xie.

As early as when he was in Rehe, Cao Yong wanted to fill in the vacancy for Zheng Xie.

Although Zheng Xie is a talented person, in terms of his personal morality, he is really not good at being a teacher.Although Cao Yong loves talents, he will not ignore the children's reputation.

After hearing Cao Yuan's report that Zheng Xie had an affair with the book boy, Cao Yong knew that this person could no longer stay.

But it's easy to get together and get together, and the flaws don't hide the advantages, so there is no reason to break the friendship with each other because of this.

Cao Yong believes that with Zheng Xie's talent, he will always be famous all over the world.After obtaining Zheng Xie's consent, Cao Yong donated his official body to him in the Yamen.

This year is the year of the general examination, and the new Jinshi who have not been selected into the Imperial Academy, after several months of study, have been replaced one after another, so the seven ranks are really lacking, and it is difficult to get them.

Cao Yong thought that with Zheng Xie's literati heart, it would be best to make an assistant official, but he thought that his long-term follower, Zhao Tong, was the county magistrate, so it would be negligent to ask Zheng Xie to make up for the seventh and eighth ranks.

In front of the powerful class, this stereotype is also a joke.Han Chuang has studied hard for decades, and finally won a Jinshi. If he is from a poor family, no one will give him any advice.

Cao Yong didn't know that Zheng Xie had wasted half his life, his talents were underappreciated, and his livelihood was difficult, so he developed a grotesque temperament.With his meddling and success, the famous Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou lost one person.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Looking at Cao Yong's worried face, Jiang Jian knew that he was worried about Li Shi who entered the palace today.It's just that these things were beyond his ability to speak out as a staff member, so he withdrew.

Cao Yong looked at Jiang Jian's back, but really admired his open-mindedness.As a scholar, Jiang Jian has no desire for utilitarianism.

Not only that, men in their 30s are vegetarians and abstinent, more like monks than monks.

Thinking of this, he thought of Zhiran again.

After the father knew about Zhiran's life experience, what mood would he face this son?What is the mood of Kangxi who summoned Mrs. Li today?
*
Kangxi's mood was a little confused, although he was pretending to be normal, but Wei Zhu stood by, so he could tell.

Sitting on a small stool, holding an imperial pen, Zhang Tingyu, who acted on behalf of Kangxi Zhuzhu, also saw it.Today, Kangxi was always distracted, and forgot the papers he had just finished approving, so he asked Zhang Tingyu again.

In less than half a day, Kangxi asked what time it was.

Zhang Tingyu didn't know why, but only knew that the harem was in a general election.However, at the age of the emperor, it is not possible to register as a new concubine.

Wei Zhu is transparent, knowing that today is the day when Mrs. Li of the Cao family enters the palace to "greeting for peace".

After a while, Kangxi read almost all the excerpts, and waved Zhang Tingyu to kneel down.

Kangxi got up from the Kang, squinted his eyes, and looked at the Eight Treasures clock on the Kang table.

It was already the second quarter of Sichu (09:30 in the morning), Kangxi was silent for a while, and said, "Show me!"

Outside, there was already a chariot waiting, Kangxi ascended the chariot, and marched to the Changchun Palace where the concubine Wang lived.

*
Although the concubine Wang is not a concubine, she has been favored for many years and lived in the Changchun Palace long before she was officially registered as a concubine.It's just due to the previous rules, he was not qualified to live in the main hall, so he lived in the back hall; after he was registered as a concubine, he moved to the main hall.

In addition to her, there are two nobles in the front and rear side halls, and the two promised.

Wang Concubine's life is quite pleasant. For more than 30 years, the grace has been constant, and in the past few days, because of "sickness", he has received a lot of rewards.

Although she came from a low background and was unable to rise to a high position due to her status as a Han Chinese, the second concubine Deyi, who was in charge of the harem, also had some scruples about her due to her constant favor over the past few decades.

Fortunately, she has a waxy temperament, is respectful and humble, and doesn't get involved in the right and wrong in the palace, so she has been pampered all these years.

Today, she was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding Li Shi's hand, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Without it, when the two cousins ​​were talking about the story of the Li family in the early years, they both felt a little sad.

Although they are well aware of this newly revealed "mother-daughter" relationship, they are only embarrassed and feel no joy at all.It was only when he brought up the past of his youth that the embarrassment was erased.

Li Shi looked at Wang Bin, feeling sour in her heart, this person is her cousin who grew up with her, and she is the best friend in her boudoir.

In the past few years in Beijing, although the number of times they have entered the palace is limited, the relationship between the two has become closer.Now, what is this called?
Concubine Wang thought more. Although Li Shi was not very beautiful, she was dignified and generous, and she was gentle and amiable when she was a girl.

Wang Pin came to Yuqian in the 28th year of Kangxi. She was not drafted into the palace, but was sent to Yuqian by her cousin during Shengjia's southern tour.At that time, Mrs. Li was already married.

30 years, different circumstances.

When she was lonely and helpless in her early years, Wang Concubine also thought about it, if it was her cousin who entered the palace, so what if she was the one who married Zhizao Mansion as his successor.

But they don't know that this person's fate has been divided into different grades as early as when he was reincarnated.

In her heart, the embarrassment dissipated, and a little weirdness appeared.

Although they are all living in the Li family, they are all orphans and widowed mothers, but the Li family is the niece of the Li family, Gao Taijun and Wen Taijun have a good relationship, and the treatment is the same as that of the Li family daughters; How can I be welcomed by Wen Taijun?
In the early years, she was Li Shi's little attendant and took Li Shi's care; now when Li Shi sees her, he needs to bow down, and in the future, not only will she be distinguished by seniority, but also seniority.

As if seeing Li Shi's sadness, Wang Pin said in a low voice: "The emperor values ​​you, think about Brother Yong and the others."

She couldn't persuade her to say anything else, but she was relieved.Regardless of her seniority, these are good sisters who have been with her for several years, and sisters who have taken care of her.If you think too much, it's boring.

I just don't know, whether Brother Sixteen and Cao Yong are connected by flesh and blood.

Mrs. Li nodded and said woodenly: "Understood, it's all the emperor's grace."

She has never been courageous enough, even if she feels angry, even if she doesn't feel rare about those gold, silver and jewelry, she doesn't have the courage to bear the wrath of the emperor.

In the book of asking her son to thank her, she could refuse those things, but if she really came to the imperial court, she didn't know if she would have the courage.

In her mind, there are all the scenes of seeing the driver.

It was because of the Jiangning Weaving Mansion that the Shengjia was greeted many times. As the hostess, she also served her mother-in-law to kowtow in front of the imperial court; later in Beijing, she also met Kangxi in the Empress Dowager's Palace.

But because she was not allowed to look directly at Longyan when she saw her, Kangxi was like a shining dragon robe to her.

After a while, there was a faint sound of a whip cracking the way outside.

Wang Pin stood up and said softly, "The holy driver has arrived."

Li's body was trembling, for a moment, he didn't know whether it was sadness or anger.

At this moment, Shengjia has arrived at Changchun Palace.

When the eunuchs and maids at the gate saw the emperor's chariot, they all knelt down on the ground, groveling and daring not to look up.

"The emperor is here!" Following Wei Zhu's male duck voice, Kangxi got out of the chariot, only feeling that his footsteps were a little unsteady.

His face was calm and unwavering, but his heart was infinitely sad.

She thought that she would not reveal this matter and destroy her peaceful life before she was alive;

Concubine Wang didn't bring Mrs. Li out to greet her, after all, she was a "patient" at the moment, and Sheng Jia came suddenly, so it was understandable that she didn't have time to leave the house.

Kangxi only brought Wei Zhu into the palace, and Wang concubine brought Li Shi to kneel to welcome him.

Kangxi's gaze fell on Mrs. Li.

For this daughter, he has kindness and love, and in his early years he was more of hatred.If it wasn't for protecting her, how could Yuyin die.

Maybe it's because I was young and crazy and couldn't understand "separation between life and death".The king's brother chose the palace to deliver his wife, but he forgot to tell him that he failed to protect the adult in time.

The mother of the royal family only thinks that Yuyin is her prince's child in her womb, and she is precious, so how can she be dominated by adults.

In addition to the hatred of venting anger, there is more regret.

In the past 50 years, he can still remember the first time he saw his aunt.

Chasing the name of a queen is just to appease her stature.Myself, in the end is a slip of the tongue.
