[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite

Yonghe Palace.

Concubine De sat beside Emperor Kangxi, stroking the pampered Persian cat in her hand.Just now when Emperor Kangxi came in, he stroked the Persian cat and praised Yinzhen for his filial piety, which made Concubine De feel good.

Emperor Kangxi is nearly fifty now, and he is no longer young and strong.And no matter how well the concubines who followed Kangxi came from a young age took care of them, they were not as energetic as the young concubines.Emperor Kangxi occasionally came to sit with them, it was no longer for that matter, but it became a habit.

The concubines who can fight in the palace have their own unique features, and the indifference and ease of the concubine De has become Kangxi's favorite place.In the Yonghe Palace, you can always feel the tranquility that has never been found elsewhere.

Concubine De speaks very little, but she can always listen carefully to what she says, and the occasional sentence or two can always point to the actual place, she is really a good companion.

It's just very selfish.

Emperor Kangxi sipped his tea slowly, looked at the Persian cat lying on Concubine De's lap with vague eyes, then looked away and landed on the pillow next to him.He leaned on it casually, and found that the softness was moderate, and it was much more comfortable than other places. "Is this re-customized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" It is indeed good.

Concubine De's expression was faint, "Lao Si found this, it's good to use it occasionally."

Emperor Kangxi nodded, "The fourth child is also filial." He remembered the spices that Liang Jiugong risked his life to replace when he had been suffering from insomnia a few days ago.That really allowed Emperor Kangxi to sleep well. When he praised Liang Jiugong, the old guy dared to say that Sibeile sent it over in person, and he replaced it after he went to the doctor in a hurry.

It seems that he has never heard that the fourth child used these things to claim credit, but he did it in obscurity.

Concubine De seemed not to want to linger on this issue for too long, so she quickly said, "These days Shisi spends a whole day in the martial arts arena, I don't know which bastard talked about the war in front of him, Right now, this monkey is thinking of running outside every day, and he really can't stay any longer."

Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "He did mention this matter, judging by his tone, he is quite serious."

Concubine De said, "I don't want to hit him, let him hit the south wall."

Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said indifferently, "He can do whatever he wants. How can there be any reason to restrain him? After a few years, maybe Yinzhen will really become a great general!" He thought about Yinzhen's appearance, but also He shook his head and laughed.

The person they mentioned right now was crossing the palace road with a face full of fear, and when he returned to elder brother's place, his whole face was frosty, and he looked like a miniature version of Yinzhen from a distance.

Yinxiang saw Yinzhen at the gate of the yard, and originally wanted to say hello, but seeing Yinzhen's stinky face, he ran away in a blink of an eye, which made Yinzhen very angry and added fuel to the fire up.

Yinzhen went back to her room dissatisfied, sat on the chair and sulked.Not long after, he heard a knock on the door, and before the people outside could speak, Yinzhen angrily asked people to get out.There was no sound outside for a long time, and Yinzhen was thinking of closing his eyes and resting his mind, when there was movement in the window again.

Yinzhen stood up subconsciously, and pulled out the long sword hanging on the wall with his backhand. Seeing Yinxiang hanging on the window frame, he looked at him in embarrassment, "Old Fourteen, no matter how much you don't welcome me, you don't need to use a sword." Killed me?"

Yinzhen hummed and put the long sword back, "Why, didn't you just run away when you saw me? Did you come back to see me?"

Yinxiang slipped down from the window sill with a grin, "Didn't I just bring this here for you because I saw you angry?" He grabbed a food box from behind, and there were several plates of pastries in it, "This is what I asked the kitchen to do." Do it, do you want to try it?"

After Yinxiang's concubine Erniangmin passed away, he really had a hard time for a while, even if he made friends with Yinzhen, it would not bring about any change.As time passed, Emperor Kangxi paid more and more attention to Yinzhen, and Yinxiang himself was gradually loved by Kangxi, and this day became better.

Yinzhen looked at Yinxiang with disgust on his face, but still grabbed him and sat down.

Yinxiang picked a small pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering, "Okay, can you tell me what kind of anger I am getting?" When it came to this, Yinzhen's expression turned ugly.

He angrily picked out a few pastries and stuffed his mouth full. After being filled with the sweet and greasy feeling, he said, "I went to the fourth brother's house." Yinxiang looked at him blankly, "Is the fourth brother today?" exist……"

"I specially chose to meet Wen Liang when he wasn't around." Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and stuffed another one.The sweets seemed to really ease the mood, and he felt less out of breath.

Yinxiang silently pushed the pastry in front of Yinzhen again, and Yinzhen looked at him in surprise, "Are you feeling better today?"

Yinxiang grinned, very harmonious and loving, "I just think you will be punished by the fourth brother later, so I should comfort you first. Although I also think that you deserve it, the old fourteenth."

Yinzhen pouted, and slammed the table, "I just went to meet the fourth brother's staff, it's no big deal."

Yinxiang nodded half-heartedly, "Yes, yes, it's just that the staff member you saw is favored by Huang Ama, you better not make any big troubles."

Yinzhen frowned in dissatisfaction, "I'm the one who was so angry that he could do something big!" That guy Wen Liang was unscrupulous, and he knew how to control his fate.He stuffed another pastry.

"So, what did he say?" Yinxiang swallowed the fifth pastry nonchalantly, and decided to go back and ask someone to make a few more dishes. The old fourteen said no, and ate it faster than him.Look, this is the eighth!

Yinzhen was silent for a long while, then looked at Yinxiang, "Tell me, the relationship between my starling and my brother, will fourth brother be unhappy?"

Yinxiang looked at him like an idiot, "The fourth brother and I have a good relationship, why are you still angry?" At the beginning, he kept stumbling him, did he really think he was a fool?

Yinzhen muttered, "Then he is the elder brother, why are you angry?"

Yinxiang slapped his forehead and said seriously, "I said you and fourth brother are brothers, so I won't talk about how this happened. But no matter how indifferent fourth brother looks, he still cares about you. Don't say Others, where do you think that every time you come back from the Martial Arts Field, those full of wound medicines come from? Those are all delivered by the fourth brother himself! They are expensive and easy to use. If it is not the fourth brother, you Do you think the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send you this stuff every day?"

Yinzhen pursed his lips, he always thought it was sent by Er Niang, and he never cared about it.

"As for the starling..." Yinxiang slowly and extremely slowly smuggled the last piece of pastry under Yinzhen's nose, "My relationship with the starling is just average, I don't know how he is."

Yinzhen pursed his lips, but he didn't take Yinxiang's words to heart. He has a good relationship with the fourth brother, so naturally he doesn't like myna.

... Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat.

Fourth brother, starling.

He scratched his neck hard, looking a little anxious.In fact, Yinzhen has been vaguely feeling that the two are not getting along.At this time, I never understood the difference between these two people.

"Fourteen, don't think too much about it, the fourth brother will never harm you. What do you want to do, the fourth brother didn't stop you, did he?"

Yinxiang's last words pierced Yinzhen's heart, and the feeling of being stabbed by warm and cool words gradually dissipated.The fourth brother did not ask him to do anything, he was the one who disturbed himself.

If he changed places... maybe Yinzhen wouldn't say what he shouldn't say.

His heart was suddenly empty, and for some reason, he was not as energetic as before with Yinhu.

After talking to Yinxiang for a few words, Yinzhen felt a little better, and when he was about to raise his head and talk to Yinxiang, he saw him take the last piece of pastry at a glance.

"Yinxiang, you said to comfort me by eating all of it yourself?!"

"You count yourself, how many of them are you eating?"

"I don't care, this piece is mine!"

"Hey, no more!"

"Thirteen!"

"I said you don't slap people in the face..."

The two brothers in the house fought in a scuffle, and the servants outside were finally relieved.Although I don't know how the thirteenth master got in.

……

On the day Wen Liang recovered completely, Yinzhen also got good news.

The sailing fleet has returned.

No matter how powerful a force is these days, going to sea is a difficult thing to do.After all, the situation at sea is unpredictable, and no one can accurately predict whether something will happen, let alone the fact that the Qing Dynasty gradually reduced sailing. Now it is difficult to go to sea.Maybe when he returns to the voyage, he will be labeled as a pirate by the officials on the shore.

But this time, the caravan that Yinzhen supported in private came back smoothly. They drifted back and forth on the sea for several months, and finally they were able to step on the ground. The feeling of peace of mind is that no amount of gold, silver and jewelry can give them of.

Needless to say, the large amount of wealth brought by the fleet, in addition, they also brought news from Western countries.This is the news that Yinzhen wants to know more.Xu started from the subtle influence of Wenliang, Yinzhen's rejection of sailing is not as strong as other elder brothers, and because of Kangxi's love for Western things, he has studied deeply, and now he personally sponsors the caravan to go to sea, just to know more Much should know.

As Wen Liang once said, if you don't understand it just because you are worried or afraid, it is the most worrying and frightening thing.

It's just that there is something more urgent than this right now, so Yinzhen has to be distracted to deal with it.

Yinzhen frowned and looked at the secret report in his hand, looking more serious than usual.If it wasn't for the shocking content in the secret report, it was because he was in a bad mood right now.

Su Peisheng didn't dare to speak. After the secret report was handed to Lord Baylor, he kept his head down and waited by the side. He didn't dare to take a breath until Lord Baylor raised his head.

Yinzhen tapped the secret report with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "How many people know about the secret report?"

Su Peisheng lowered his head, "The wax seal was intact when the slave got it."

Yinzhen nodded half-heartedly, and then instructed, "Bring Mr. Wen here, and then... go to Tong's mansion and ask uncle to come over." The only person who can be called uncle by Yinzhen is Longkodo.

When Wen Liang was invited by Yinzhen, although she didn't know what happened, but looking at Yinzhen's serious face, she knew that it must not be a good thing.But there was no anxiety in this solemnity, presumably this matter has little to do with them.

After reaching this conclusion, Wen Liang didn't show anything when he sat down.Now most of the staff in the mansion have been sent out by Yinzhen, including Dai Duo and others, there are not many left, and Wen Liang never thought that Yinzhen would only call him.

Seeing Wen Liang take his seat, Xu Zhen gave him a booklet in hand.Wen Liang took it and glanced at it, but didn't open it, "Master, give such an important thing to someone?"

He has never seen such an excerpt, it should be a secret report from Yinzhen's subordinates.

"It's nothing inappropriate." Yinzhen said softly.

Wen Liang lowered his head and opened it for a few glances, then came to a judgment on the seriousness of the matter.After carefully reading the contents of the booklet, he closed it again, "Master, if this matter is exposed, the sparks caused will not be small, have you considered it clearly?"

The content inside is not considered unique. After all, it has happened frequently in all dynasties, and it is really normal.

Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty has bought officials, it has happened.

To put it mildly, it can be said to be donating officials, and there are even fixed quotas in the imperial court for these donating officials.However, the official positions bought are still different from the officials who were actually admitted to the imperial examination.

Ordinary promotions require a lot of effort to obtain, so more people focus on another thing that is easier to get ahead and is more risky.

Imperial examination fraud.

This incident has occurred frequently since the emergence of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is almost never completely prohibited. It always jumps out of the water in the torrent of history and arouses criticism.

Now, this matter fell into Yinzhen's hands again.

Wen Liang vaguely remembered that there was indeed an incident of cheating in the imperial examination during the Kangxi period, but the time must not be today, and I don't know why.Now the follow-up matters are unclear, but the content written in this secret report may not be false.

Wen Liang deduced that, about a few years ago, when he began to compete for examiners everywhere, the seeds of disaster began to be planted.

And this is only the first one, what Yinzhen is pressing under his hand is the second one.

At this time, the person Yin Zhen was waiting for also came.

Longkodo is the son of the first-class Duke Tong Guowei. He was born in a noble family and is also highly valued by Kangxi.If it wasn't for important matters, Yinzhen rarely had contact with Longkodo.After all, Emperor Kangxi had warned Longkodo about this matter, hoping that he would be cautious in his words and deeds and not form cliques for personal gain.Longkoduo has always acted in this way. Yinzhen specially approached Longkoduo on this matter, but he still couldn't grasp Emperor Kangxi's mind, and hoped that Longkoduo would have unique insights.

After all, this matter is extraordinary, if it is not handled properly, it will cause big trouble.

After a long while, just as Wen Liang finished reading the secret report, Longkodo finally appeared at the door, with an unforgettable style.Longkodo was in his early forties, just in his prime, with a loud voice, and laughed loudly when he saw Yinzhen, "See Sibeile—" Before he could bow down, Yinzhen stood up and supported him. Longkodo, "Uncle, it doesn't have to be like this."

The first two stood up, and Wen Liang naturally also stood up following Yinzhen's movements.After Longkodo exchanged greetings with Yinzhen, his eyes fell on Wen Liang behind Yinzhen, "This is—"

Yinzhen turned sideways and said, "This is my staff, Wen Liang." He didn't mention asking Wen Liang to come forward to worship, and Wen Liang was also confused by joy.

The word warm and cool fell on Long Keduo's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt.

Although many courtiers have seen Wen Liang because of Kangxi's undisguised favor, but Longkodo has never seen Wen Liang's appearance due to various coincidences.

Although they knew that Wen Liang was in Yinzhen's mansion, the two of them had sensitive identities, and they could only see each other once in a long time. Nowadays, people who meet directly at the mansion are even rarer, and there is no one who specifically came to see Wen Liang. reason.

"So this is Mr. Wen." Longkodo cupped his hands and said, Wen Liang bowed in return.

After the three of them sat down, Su Peisheng brought someone to serve tea again, and after the ceremony was over, the three of them were left in the room again.Yinzhen passed the booklet that he had just handed to Wen Liang to Longkodo, and the one he was holding was given to Wen Liang.

Wen Liang carefully looked at the second copy, which was quite different from the first one.

This is a memorandum about salt merchants driving up salt prices in the south of the Yangtze River, and officials colluding with each other to hide dirt.Different from the previous one, the contents of this brochure are long-term. Just looking at the above contents, Wen Liang can see a steady stream of money falling into the pockets of the people behind the scenes.

As long as you think of some crooked ways, there is always a way to get money quickly and easily.It's just that no matter the big or small people, they often eat as much as they spit out, and there are not a few people who are sad in their old age.After all, Skynet is sparse but not leaky.

After Longkodo read both copies, Yinzhen said, "What's your opinion on this, uncle?"

Longkodo looked at the secret report in his hand seriously, and shook his head after pondering for a long time, "Whether it is the former or the latter, although it is the key to death, there is no definite evidence in the end. And..." He raised the salt merchant's hand "This one is too serious. Lord Long Live is only thinking about it at this time. This matter at most strengthens the opportunity and cannot be used as the last bargaining chip. If it is pierced from you, it will only make Lord Long Live suspect Lord Baylor's thought."

They spoke vaguely to each other, but they all knew that what Longkodo was talking about was the opportunity to abolish the prince.

Longkodo is worthy of being a caring person who has been with Emperor Kangxi for many years, and he has a very thorough understanding of Emperor Kangxi's thoughts, "It would be great if it could be two or three years later. Now is really not the time."

With Yinzhen's character, even if these two things can't cause trouble for the prince, he will start to think of ways to reveal them when he sees these two things, hoping to solve them.Longkodo can only pretend to be exaggerated first, at least he can hold back a little bit.

As long as it doesn't come from Yinzhen, it will be a good thing.Seeing it now is a great achievement. When Long Live Lord really abolishes the prince, looking back, the advocates of this matter will only provoke the anger of Emperor Kangxi.Longkodo is not happy to see his betting chips go wrong.

Yinzhen nodded thoughtfully, originally intending to ask Wen Liang's opinion, but from the corner of his eyes, he found that Longkodo had been scanning Wen Liang intentionally or unintentionally. The people below helped my uncle find it, so why don't you watch it with me, so that uncle can check it out before taking it back?"

Long Ke knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string songs, and stood up with Yinzhen, "Thank you, Lord Belle, for your kindness. I am indeed looking for it." The topic of the few people changed their angles instantly, waiting for Su Peisheng to write the calligraphy and painting. After delivering it, Longkodo couldn't help nodding his head when he saw the calligraphy and painting. After all, it was an authentic work, and it was also a favorite item of the concubine at home. He was also happy in his heart.

After waiting to send Long Kedo away, Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang, "Mr. Lao has been silent for a long time."

Wen Liang shook his head, he had sensed Longkodo's attention just now, and the hint Yinzhen gave him was really normal.Although Longkodo is Yinzhen's uncle, but this uncle is not a biological uncle after all, and there is no pure family affection in the royal family.Doesn't the painting and calligraphy taken away by Longkodo just explain this?You need an excuse to even meet up.

"What do you think of these two matters, sir?"

Yinzhen beckoned Wen Liang to sit down, and then brought up the matter again.

Wen Liang said in a low voice, "Master Tong's statement is somewhat reasonable. Right now, Long Live Lord has complicated feelings for the prince, and he has not yet reached the point of letting go. It can only be used as a bargaining chip if it is revealed at this juncture. If so, it is not It's a bad thing, but it's a pity that the prince may not be the only one among them."

He pointed to the two copies on the table, "Needless to say about the examiner's malpractice for personal gain, one push four, five, six, at most a few people behind the examiner can be found, and they can't be shaken. How can I know about the salt merchant?" Is this the work of the prince, or Babeile? The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is unclear, and there are too many people fishing in troubled waters, so we have to clarify it carefully."

Yinzhen nodded.

After all, Longkodo is in a different position, and there are some things he can't explain too clearly, not as concise and clear as Wen Liang's analysis.

"If you don't start here right now, you can go elsewhere. The situation is not clear, so you can simply make it more muddy, and see who is the beneficiary." Wen Liang suggested.

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, "Sir, this method will completely disrupt the situation."

"What is the situation at the moment, and what are the undercurrents underneath? We know each other well. Let them go at ease, and then I will see whether it is the prince who is important at this time, or they are important."

When Wen Liang speaks, he always conveys conviction.The words came out of his mouth, as if something was about to happen.Even though Yinzhen knew that Wen Liang was not aimless, but listening to his words, he couldn't help but sigh, if he wasn't such a talented and confident person, he wouldn't be able to say such words.

"Sir, what you said is reasonable." Yinzhen nodded.

A flash of vigilance suddenly flashed in his heart, now he trusts Wen Liang too much, if it were a few years ago, he would definitely not only invite Wen Liang's staff to discuss.Wen Liang has a different status and quick thinking. Compared with others, over time, he is more willing to seek Wen Liang.

I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?

Yinzhen and Wen Liang are actually the same kind of people, and they can accurately distinguish between public and private affairs in front of major events.Just like Wen Liang is currently undertaking the task, which is related to Wen Wen's life, but he can still take it step by step calmly.

It's just that this personal relationship will eventually affect people's own thoughts.If Yinzhen should have dealt with Wen Liang at this time, even if his status is different, it is definitely not a good thing for Yinzhen to fall into the trap step by step.

But Yinzhen couldn't bear it and didn't give up.

When Wen Liang lowered his eyes to think, he suddenly realized that the gaze on his body was a little inappropriate, and he looked up at Yinzhen suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with a certain body?"

Yinzhen shook his head funny, "That's not the case, Mr. is too worried."

Wen Liang nodded half-believingly, and started to discuss the matter with Yinzhen again. By the time Yinzhen had an idea, it was already night time.Yin Zhen looked up at the moonlight outside, and said to Wen Liang, "Sir, stay and deal with me for a while before going back."

Wen Liang nodded without hesitation, and Su Peisheng hurried down to give orders. He had already taken care of everything and waited for the masters to speak. Su Peisheng's order went down, and the meals were quickly delivered one by one.

Yinzhen's own meal is not so extravagant, and the content of the meal is also very homely, not as dazzling as the abalone and bird's nest guessed by the outside world.Many of the dishes that were served were Wen Liang's favorite, and this meal was also a great joy.

After the meal, Wen Liang was planning to leave, but at this time Yinzhen took out the information sent by the fleet. When Wen Liang saw this, he asked to stay.

Most of Wen Liang's information about the Western countries at that time was recorded from the word of mouth of the missionaries.Three people become a tiger, as long as it is not first-hand information, it may be exaggerated or vague. Wen Liang urgently needs more comprehensive information to supplement.

The meeting dragged on until midnight, and Wen Liang got what he wanted contentedly, and then left from the outer study.

Yinzhen sat in his original position and watched Wen Liang's leaving figure, his heart beat steadily and powerfully, trembling slightly with his breathing.He looked down at the folders on the table with a smile, and was immersed in intrigue all day long, but Yin Zhen's thoughts had never been so clear-headed.

He adores warmth.Emotions have never been so evident.

Yinzhen was silent for a long time, sighed in surrender after a long time, and closed his eyes.

……

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Wen Liang turned sideways and sneezed a little, then stood there covering his face for three breaths, making sure there was nothing wrong before continuing to walk inside.

Lu Yi's worried look was left behind by Wen Liang.

He never expected to spend such a long time in the study outside, but Wen Liang got a lot of news.

In any case, the chaotic situation in the south of the Yangtze River is gradually becoming clear, at least Yinzhen has the initiative at the moment.And how to implement the strategy they negotiated is not what Wen Liang needs to pay attention to.

A few days later, Tonghua was sent away, and the matter was considered to be over.And Luyi also brought the meaning of copper sparrow.

"Sir, Tongque doesn't intend to marry." The meaning of Tongque is almost the same as that of Lu Yi. Whether you marry or stay with your husband, you are serving others after all, so it's better to stay with your husband.As a man, Mr. will protect them for a while no matter what, which is better than living outside.

After Wen Liang knew about it, she just nodded her head lightly, and after writing down the matter, she didn't say anything again.

He originally planned to stay in the study today, but he was interrupted by the hasty summons before he was absorbed in it.Wen Liang watched Luyi trot in expressionlessly, expressing the meaning of the palace, and now he especially wants to strike.

Emperor Kangxi summoned him so frequently, even the one who didn't suspect anything at first, now began to consider Wen Liang's identity.

If it is just an ordinary person, of course it is impossible for Long Live Lord to summon him again and again.During this period of time, when Wen Liang came out of the house, he felt vaguely spied on, and there were not a few people who followed Wen Liang.

Qianqing Palace.

When Wen Liang entered the hall, there were not only Emperor Kangxi alone, but also several other important court officials.Wen Liang originally thought that Liang Jiugong would take him to the side hall, but he didn't expect that this time he took him directly to the hall.

What Liang Jiugong meant was that of Emperor Kangxi, Wen Liang didn't think much about it, and followed Liang Jiugong to the center of the hall.Before Wen Liang saluted, Emperor Kangxi waved his hand to avoid Wen Liang's gesture, "Come here, Wen Liang."

Wen Liang walked a few steps forward as she said, and noticed that in front of this group of people, there was a map hung high on a wooden shelf.He took a closer look and found that it was the world map at this time.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty had never opened up to the outside world, nor had any official overseas voyage trips.This map can only come from Western countries, but unfortunately, limited by the technology and knowledge at this time, this map has a lot of problems.

Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, Wen Liang still remembers the appearance of the earth's plates, oceans and arrangements. After all, I don't know how many times I have drawn them in geography class.

Wen Liang didn't bother to listen to the conversation between Emperor Kangxi and several ministers, it didn't belong to him.Although Kangxi called him to listen, perhaps it meant several things, but Wen Liang didn't intend to accept it.

"Warm and cool?"

Wen Liang came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on Emperor Kangxi, looking very serious.Emperor Kangxi wanted to roll his eyes a little bit, but endured the indecent gesture.If Wen Liang hadn't been distracted just now, he wouldn't have believed it.

"What's your opinion?" Emperor Kangxi looked sideways at Wen Liang regardless of the ministers around him.

Wen Liang said calmly, "The adults are right."

Emperor Kangxi frowned in dissatisfaction, "There is no need for these empty words."

Wen Liang pursed her lips, and said again, "Long Live Lord is also very reasonable."

Emperor Kangxi looked at him, and Wen Liang looked back innocently, and finally made Emperor Kangxi laugh angrily, and let the meeting break up.After catching Wen Liang, he scolded him, and after Wen Liang listened silently, "I know."

"You boy, I don't believe that you don't know what I asked you to do, so you will act stupid." Emperor Kangxi took the tea offered by Liang Jiugong to moisten his throat dissatisfied. If you don't know what he's thinking, then it's a lie.

Wen Liang glanced across the room, leaned forward and said, "The opinions of the ministers have nothing to do with XX, and Long Live Lord doesn't need to pave the way for XX."

Emperor Kangxi sighed, he couldn't believe that Wen Liang didn't know what he was talking about.

After all, Wen Liang was the one who followed Yinzhen all the time. When the crown prince came to the throne in the future, someone like Wen Liang might become the one who performed the surgery the fastest in Yinreng, because of the high favor and Yinzhen's status.After all, among the many elder brothers, Yinzhen is the most noble person except the prince.

If Emperor Kangxi wanted to keep Wen Liang safe, he had only two options, one was to make Wen Liang fade out of the sight of everyone in the capital, and the other was to find a shelter for him.What shelter is more useful than being an important minister of the court?With Wen Liang's calculations, as long as he doesn't become the target of the next king at the beginning, there is a possibility of escape.

With this kind of thinking, Emperor Kangxi can be said to have really planned for Wen Liang to the extreme.

But Wen Liang didn't want to.

Wen Liang looked at Emperor Kangxi and said seriously, "Long Live Lord, it's not that someone doesn't want to. This matter has not reached the point you said, not to mention, no matter who among these princes and elder brothers, the existence of someone will hinder them .”

According to Emperor Kangxi, even if Yinzhen ascends the throne in the future, there is a possibility of killing the donkey.Don't you see that there are so many precedents, how could Wen Liang think that he must be an exception?

From the very beginning, Wen Liang thought that he might not be able to escape unscathed. Since he had such an idea from the beginning, Kangxi's worries were not the most important.

Emperor Kangxi faintly sensed Wen Liang's intentions, and immediately frowned tightly, and stood with his arms folded for a while, but he had almost nothing to say.Even if he is the emperor, he cannot decide what will happen after his death.

Kangxi has now begun to realize that his body is gradually aging, and he is no longer as strong as before.This feeling of being eroded by internal aging, even if Emperor Kangxi was the emperor, he could not resist the panic.The more panicked, the more he clings to power. From the occasional friction in the court during this period, it can be seen how eager the brothers below are.

"Long live, can I have a talk with a certain player?"

Wen Liang took the initiative to speak, and Emperor Kangxi smiled according to his intention, "Why, Wen Liang thinks you can beat me now?"

Wen Liang was calm and generous, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Seeing Emperor Kangxi acquiescing, Liang Jiugong trotted to arrange all the things that should be there, and served tea to the two again, and finally stood by the side to watch, for fear that Emperor Kangxi might need anything.

Emperor Kangxi and Wen Liang played chess quietly, and the room was completely silent, occasionally hearing the slapping of chess pieces, which was the only movement in the tens of thousands.

When Emperor Kangxi came back to his senses, the sky was slightly dark, and he actually played chess with Wen Liang all afternoon.Recalling the mountains of memorials, Emperor Kangxi looked at Wen Liang with pity, "Wen Liang hurt me—" It made some sense.

Wen Liang thought dumbly.

As a person who accidentally harmed Emperor Kangxi, Wen Liang refused Kangxi's dinner and stubbornly chose to return home.

Lu Yi really deserves to be the most caring person around Wen Liang, when she saw Wen Liang, she immediately ordered the people in the small kitchen to bring up the meal that she had just prepared.Even when Wen Liang is not around, Lu Yi always keeps the small kitchen ready, so as not to face such a sudden situation.

Wen Liang sat in his own room and finished his dinner, then he planned to do it again in the morning.But I don't know if he had a conflict with the study today. As soon as he walked into the study, he heard Wei Mo's movement.

Unusual movements.
