Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 102 Kangxi's Thoughts

Ling Zhu blocked all the people who came to visit the doctor, he didn't want to expose his wife and daughter to everyone because of this incident.But Ling Zhu didn't give up on the counterattack either. He caught a mistake of the prince's guard in the army camp and beat the thirty army sticks fiercely. Zhu has no regrets.He didn't want to confront the prince head-on, this time he just wanted to let the prince know not to provoke him easily.

Prince Yinreng looked at the subordinates who were beaten with anger, he didn't expect Ling Zhu to be so resolute.But when he wanted to take revenge again, he also got the news that it was Kangxi who suppressed the matter, and he still had some concerns about Ling Zhu's favorite Yinfeng.Suo'etu also heard about this incident, and said to the prince, "Prince, you are not very honest about this matter. As the saying goes, it is not as good as a wife and children. Besides, Ling Zhu is a person who attaches great importance to his family. Although the emperor I once commented that Ling Zhu was a bit of a hero, but judging from the emperor's many rewards and seals, Ling Zhu's future cannot be underestimated. Now that the emperor has handed over the guard camp to him, such a person should still be wooed."

"It's not that I didn't want to win him over, but he didn't know how to flatter me. Besides, I didn't think that something would happen to Ling Zhu's wife and daughter. I didn't expect it to be such a big trouble."

Hearing what the prince said, Suo'etu hurriedly called the manpower arranged by the prince to inquire carefully, and found that there should be some shadows of Ling Cheng in this incident.After hearing this, Yinreng threw the teacup angrily, and said loudly, "Lao Ba is too rude, isn't this taking the old man to top the vat? Ling Zhu is Ling Cheng's cousin, he can really do it."

Suo'etu said calmly, "Calm down, the prince. I think the emperor should know what happened this time, otherwise he wouldn't have suppressed it. The most important thing now is that we want to break through Ling Cheng's arrangement to you." Ling Zhu knows that Ling Zhu is a smart person, he should know what to do. It is undeniable that Ling Zhu is a talent, with many ideas and novel ideas, and most importantly, he is very loyal to the emperor. Such a person will be used by the crown prince in the future Yes. The emperor trusts him when he entrusts the military camp to him. We only ask him to be impartial to such a person. If he is too wooing and offending, the emperor will become suspicious."

Yinfeng nodded in response, "My lord is still in a hurry, it's just that the guard barracks asked Ling Zhu to give me some ideological education, which ruined all my master's arrangements. Now those elites and the guard barracks are all based on loyalty to the emperor's order." For the purpose, those people are very determined."

"Prince, you are the future emperor of the prince. These people are loyal to the emperor's order. They will be completely loyal to you when you ascend the throne, so the most urgent thing now is not you, but other ambitious princes. Now As long as you have the trust and favor of the emperor, you can rest easy. It is also very likely that the eighth brother will lose control of the military power this time, so Ling Zhu can’t help being innocent.”

The prince knew that Lao Ba was much better than himself when it came to buying people's hearts. After Suo'etu's analysis, the prince suddenly realized, "You are right, Ling Zhu has made a lot of contributions, and he has made a lot of contributions. No wonder Huang Ama values ​​him so much." , is indeed a talent.”

Suo'etu said with a wispy beard, "The prince's matter this time is not completely bad. As long as we tell Ling Zhu what Ling Cheng did, then the plan of the eighth elder brother to buy Ling Zhu can be defeated. The most important thing is this It was the fourth elder brother and Yang Kang who saved people this time. The fourth elder brother is your good brother, and Ling Zhu is a person who attaches great importance to his daughter. With this relationship, Ling Zhu will be kind to us even if he does not lean towards us. Yang Kang In the future, he will lead the army, and the relationship between Yang Kang and Ling Zhu seems to be very close."

The prince sighed, "I never thought that such an underappreciated Ling Zhu would be in such a position now. Everything is really unpredictable. It is better to tell Ling Zhu about this matter through the fourth child. Now Ling Zhu is closing the door to thank guests. After seeing Ling Zhu for a while, Master Yi will definitely come to pay respects to the fourth child."

Suo'etu nodded and said, "The prince's arrangement is very good. Ling Zhu worked under the fourth elder brother before. Ling Zhu should trust the fourth elder brother's words. Prince, let's just wait and see the show."

There was a big court meeting today, so before dawn Ling Zhu was fully dressed and ready to go.Dong lay half on the bed and said, "You really worked hard, be careful not to offend anyone again!"

Ling Zhu came to the bed and said, "Don't worry, since I beat that man with thirty army sticks, these deputy commanders have been honest, it seems that people still have a good temper. I only went up with my ears I don’t have a mouth, and I’m careful that others can’t easily catch my sore feet, you sleep for a while, recuperate well, and tell the servants to do anything.”

Seeing Ling Zhu leave, Cuiyu stepped forward to help Dong to lie down again, "My wife is really lucky, the master cares about his wife so much, you should take care of your wounds carefully, don't let the master worry about it."

Mrs. Dong nodded and said, "Go down and rest too, it's nothing to worry about, just keep the two little girls. If it wasn't for you that time, I might have been hurt even worse. I won't forget your kindness."

Cuiyu put down the bed curtain and said, "Where is the madam talking, those things are not what slaves should do, madam, don't think too much, just take a good rest."

Although he was very sleepy, due to this toss, Dong really couldn't fall asleep for a while.Thinking of Ling Zhu's heroic spirit just now, Dong felt that her husband seemed to be more energetic than in modern times.Moreover, Ling Zhu actually scolded the crown prince because of them, while Dong was worried, there was still a little bit of sweetness in his heart.In the Qing Dynasty, due to successive promotions and feudal titles, Ling Zhu exuded the aura of a high-ranking person. Dong sighed softly, "A man should not be powerless for a day, it seems quite reasonable."

At the court meeting, Ling Zhu stood honestly among the generals, watching the ministers' memorials one by one, most of them were memorials of meritorious deeds.Some censors impeached were also unknown officials, but after careful consideration by Ling Zhu, he felt that the battle between the crown prince and elder brother was about to start now.There is Suo Etu's support behind the prince, and the elder brother can only rely on military merits, but ambitious princes like the eighth elder brother are also hidden behind the elder brother, and Kangxi makes a balance from time to time. But the fight is evenly matched.

Eldest brother has a lot of prestige in the army, and he has wooed Ling Zhu, but Ling Zhu hides as far as he can. After all, elder brother is even more unlucky than the prince.

Kangxi sat high on the dragon chair and looked down at all living beings. The feeling of controlling the world is really good, but who can understand the responsibility and loneliness of an emperor.Kangxi watched the performance of the ministers in the hall, and he knew that behind these people must be the shadows of his own sons. Could it be that there is no one who is really loyal to him among the ministers in the hall?Kangxi's eyes patrolled back and forth, stopping for a while on several people, and finally Kangxi's eyes stopped on Ling Zhu's body.

Perhaps it was because Kangxi's eyes were too probing, Ling Zhu, who was always very keen, felt Kangxi's gaze.Ling Zhu raised his head quietly after brewing a good mood, and looked at Kangxi with sincere eyes full of loyalty and admiration.Seeing that Kangxi noticed it, Ling Zhu hurriedly nodded shyly.Don't ask Ling Zhu why he understands this. Anyone who has experienced insurance sales in modern times will understand how important it is to give customers a sincere look when signing an insurance policy.In modern times, Ling Zhu was moved by others and signed a bunch of insurance policies that seemed to be useful but had no meaning.Ling Zhu has always felt that the emotional offensive may have the most impact on an emperor, especially for a person like Kangxi who is a self-made emperor through the ages, the admiration of ministers is often the most moving him.

After the court was over, Ling Zhu walked out with the flow of people.During the period, Luo Shuyi was talking about something.I only heard a servant next to me shouting, "Lord Ling Zhu, Master Ling."

Ling Zhu turned his head, and saw a little eunuch walking quickly in front of him and said, "Lord Ling, the emperor summons you, and the emperor invites you to meet in the Palace of Mental Cultivation." Ling Zhu thanked the little eunuch, and under the envious eyes of everyone, he followed Followed the little eunuch to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Seeing that there were no one around, Ling Zhu enthusiastically handed the two silver nakeds to the young eunuch who led the way, "Eunuch has worked hard, this is a small matter, let's treat him to a cup of tea."

The little eunuch weighed the money and said with a smile, "The servant girl will thank Lord Ling. Please rest assured, Lord Ling. The emperor is in a good mood." Ling Zhu nodded gratefully.

After entering the hall, Ling Zhu didn't even dare to lift his head, he knelt down and kowtowed at the prescribed distance, "Slave Ling Zhu kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Kangxi looked at the respectful Ling Zhu and said, "Get up." Ling Zhu stood up, looked around quietly, and found that he was alone, and couldn't help being confused. Where did Kangxi come from?

"I recruited you this time mainly because I want to know about the loyalty education you proposed. I think this idea is very good. Please tell me in detail."

Ling Zhu organized some words in his heart, combined some modern ideological education methods with some characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, and spoke them out slowly.Ling Zhu specifically emphasized the importance of loyalty and patriotism to soldiers, "Your Majesty, my slaves believe that sometimes spiritual strength is still very important. Only with courage and the courage to shine the sword can you defeat the enemy. There is a way to meet a narrow road. The brave wins. As long as the soldiers understand If they fight for the emperor, they will definitely destroy all enemies for the emperor."

Kangxi was very satisfied with Ling Zhu's answer, and said with a smile, "Ling Zhu, your method is very good, and I am very satisfied with your performance."

"The emperor has praised you, but the slave is just doing his job."

Kangxi sighed, "It's good to do your duty, but now some people have forgotten their duty, which makes me very disappointed." Then he asked Ling Zhu with a smile, "How is your chess skill? Play a game with me?"

Although Kangxi said interrogative sentences, Ling Zhu didn't dare to disturb Kangxi's interest. Ling Zhu said embarrassedly, "it's a great honor for this slave to play chess with the emperor, but the slave's chess power is really limited. I'm afraid I will spare the emperor." interest."

Kangxi ordered the servant to set up the chessboard, and then said, "It's okay, I'm very interested now, and I can give you some pointers."

In this situation, Ling Zhu could only bite the bullet and deal with it.Playing chess with the emperor has always been a hard job on TV before, because you can't win the emperor, you have to lose chess skillfully.But this is not difficult for Ling Zhu, after all, with his chess strength, there is no need to worry about it, he will definitely lose.

Looking at the chessboard that was set up, Ling Zhu didn't dare to sit directly opposite Kangxi, because he could sit on the edge of the chair.This is really a physical effort, Ling Zhu couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Kangxi asked Ling Zhu to hold the black first, so Ling Zhu was not polite, picked up the chess pieces and rushed to kill.Ling Zhu's chess game was once commented by Yu Duo as "it looks very lively, but in fact there is no layout at all, just rushing, and he doesn't care about his chess addiction." '

Ling Zhu on this matter fully demonstrated the correctness of Yu Duo's evaluation, and he rushed to kill without any scruples, and sat down steadily when he became interested.Looking at Ling Zhu's performance, Kangxi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He felt that the reckless and sincere Ling Zhu seemed to suit him very well. He didn't know if this was a surprise.

A game was quickly over, with white chess all over the board, and black chess just scattered.Ling Zhu had a look of pity, after all, this was playing chess with Kangxi, why did it end so soon.

"Ling Zhu, I think it's quite interesting for you to play chess. You don't think about the layout when you rush and rush, and you don't even consider the gains and losses. I feel very happy playing chess with you."

Ling Zhu stood up, looked at Kangxi in a good mood, and said softly, "Is the emperor praising the slave again? It's simply not worth mentioning that the slave's chess strength is compared with the emperor's."

Kangxi put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Ling Zhu, you are really interesting. I will play chess with you when I have time. At least I can feel your sincerity."

"The servant must practice hard, and I hope it won't end so quickly next time." Ling Zhu said with a vow.

Kangxi smiled and nodded, and the servant standing respectfully beside him couldn't help thinking, it seems that this Ling Zhu is really valued by the emperor, and the emperor hasn't been this happy for a long time.

"Ling Zhu, I am very satisfied with your performance in the guarding barracks. I hope you can continue. After all, the guarding barracks is a very important force protecting the capital. I don't want any problems. I just want a completely loyal dog." Yu Zhen's guard barracks, do you understand?"

Ling Zhu knelt down and said firmly, "Please rest assured, the emperor, the guard camp will definitely be loyal to the emperor."

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered the servants to bring a few boxes, "I already know about the accident that happened to your wife and daughter a few days ago, and you handled it very well. These are all kinds of tributes, so I will reward you."

Ling Zhu kowtowed again and said, "I thank the emperor for his grace." Although Ling Zhu was dissatisfied with his son's troubles and Lao Tzu's apology, he could only accept it, and accepted it with emotion, this damn world.

Kangxi waved to Ling Zhu and said, "Kneel down." Ling Zhu slowly withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Ling Zhu felt that his underwear was completely soaked, but the harvest was still very good. Thinking of his performance in front of Kangxi, Ling Zhu couldn't help curling his lips in satisfaction.The servant held the gift box and sent Ling Zhu out of the palace gate. Ling Zhu thanked him again and again, and gave the silver tael. The servant knew that Ling Zhu's favor was strong, so he respectfully accepted it.

Kangxi drank his tea slowly, and he was really satisfied with Ling Zhu. Although he had some petty thoughts, Ling Zhu was still very loyal and reliable.Thinking of Wu Dan's report a few days ago about the fourth elder brother and Yang Kang rescuing Ling Zhu's wife and daughter, and Qi Luo's performance in this accident, Kangxi shook his head slightly, thinking that it was really a coincidence that Yinzhen, who had always been indifferent to others, actually Knowing how to catch Qi Luo, Yang Kang, who was obsessed with returning to the clan, actually stopped the frightened horse with all his might. There was something unusual about this.Kangxi knocked on the table twice, and said to Li Dequan, "Pass down my will. The Empress Dowager understands the loneliness and hardships of the mothers in the palace, and specially releases some mothers and maids of appropriate age out of the palace."

"I only respect the emperor's edict, and this slave will deliver the decree." Li Dequan bowed in response.

Kangxi thought for a while and ordered, "Go and tell her, let her take good care of and teach Ling Zhu's concubine daughter, if there is no particularly important matter, don't report it to the palace. Don't put on airs, treat Qi Luo kindly, and don't be jealous of your daughter." The heavy Ling Zhu was kicked out. And the most important point, I don't want a second Shuyuan, she should understand what I want."

Li Dequan nodded and said, "Don't worry, the emperor, she should know what to do. The servants have already been arranged, and there will be no problems."

Kangxi twisted the beads and said softly, "I hope my arrangement is correct, you should be satisfied."

Ling Zhu returned home and saw Qi Luo was feeding Mrs. Dong oranges.The servants next to him looked at it with a smile on their faces. Although Mrs. Dong was a little shy, she still accepted it. After all, it was her own daughter's wish.Seeing Ling Zhu carrying two gift boxes, Qi Luo asked, "Ama, who gave this gift?"

Ling Zhu cupped his hands in the direction of the Forbidden City and said, "This is a reward from the emperor, and it is said that they are all tributes."

Zhao Nanny said happily, "Congratulations, master, who has such a great face, and can often receive rewards from the emperor."

Qi Luo knew that this might be Kangxi's compensation for his family's accident, so he was not very happy.Dong said, "What's in it? Open it and have a look?"

Qi Luo stepped forward and opened the box. One box contained pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and everything was exquisite.Another box contained some fine tribute voiles and silks, and a whole set of jewels made entirely of reddish pearls, each of which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.Nanny Zhao, Cuiyu and the others were all sighing, these juicy yarns and silks may not even be seen by ordinary people.

When Ling Zhu saw it, he said, "The emperor's kindness is so great." Then he waved his hands and said, "Go down first, I have something to talk to my wife."

Looking at Ling Zhu who was in a daze, Qi Luo asked, "Ama, what's the matter with you? Isn't the emperor's reward right? I don't think I need to buy jewelry anymore, and now my jewelry is basically all rewarded by the emperor. "

Dong said with a smile, "That's not good, these are things that others can't ask for!"

Ling Zhu sighed and said, "Qi Luo, why do I feel like a fool? Why do I have no backbone at all? It seems that I have completely lost the education I received before. When I think about the future, I always feel that I should do it." What, even a trivial thing, now I feel like I'm a villain."

Qi Luo knew that this was the sequelae of flattering Kangxi, so he persuaded, "Ama, you did all this for us. Although we want to change, we are always powerless. As I said before, we are not heroes and great men. , we are just ordinary people, we are afraid of sacrifice, but I think if we have the opportunity, we can also change some small things a little bit. After all, we have changed a small step, and it will have a huge impact on the future."

Ling Zhu nodded and said, "That's the only way. Hey, this feeling is really bad. I hope people in future generations won't scold us for being cowardly and selfish."

That one first declared that I have no love for the uncle, then the male lead has not yet been decided, and finally called the monthly ticket loudly. Although the book of the great god is in front, I think I still have the possibility of improvement.The number of characters gradually increased, and so did the plots. If you feel that the plots and plots I wrote are too straightforward, please don’t abandon me. After all, I have tried my best. Hehe, I am actually a loyal person.
