Chapter 42: Day 42 of Wanting to Die
Some smart people thought of the specifications of Lord Fei Yangwu's house and lowered their heads even more.
Kangxi put his hands behind his back and walked up to Yin Zhuo and Wu Rina under Yin Zhuo's surprised gaze: "You two are so hard to find."
Why does the emperor speak in such a weird tone? If he wants to know his location, can't he just ask?
He still didn't believe that there was someone around the Emperor who didn't dare to tell him, and he had just arrived, so how come the Emperor followed right after him?
He hasn't asked anything yet.
Yin Zhuo was a little unhappy.
So Kangxi felt the resentment emanating from Xiaoliu.
Kangxi touched his nose a little embarrassedly, lowered his head and rubbed Wujina's head: "Is Wujina feeling better? Are you still coughing?"
Wujina's face was flushed. After hearing what the emperor said, she replied softly, "My brother said that I will be fine after taking the medicine. Wujina will take the medicine well."
Kangxi nodded with satisfaction. Yes, Xiaoliu is a good brother who loves his sister.
He also needs to pay attention to Tana's warning of accidents during her summer vacation.
Tana was free and intelligent, and he liked her very much, and the Queen Mother also liked her very much.
He didn't dare to think about how sad he would be if Tana died in an accident. The Queen Mother would definitely not be able to accept the fact that the old had to send the young away. What's more, Tana must have been invited by the Queen Mother to go for the summer vacation. If something happened, the Queen Mother would definitely feel very guilty.
But it's still early now, and he is still a little concerned about Wuzhina's health.
"Then Wurina must take her medicine carefully. By the way, did you find the paper iris that you and your sixth brother came here to look for?" Kangxi changed the subject. He did not dare to ask Xiaoliu, so he could only ask the younger Wurina.
Wuzhina shook her head and said, "My brother is looking at the paintings and hasn't found it yet."
There are also ornaments that Wujina likes very much, such as the little horse ornament on the table. It has only one hoof to support the whole body's strength, which looks very elegant.
Yin Zhuo was unhappy when he saw that the emperor deliberately ignored him, so he snorted to attract Kangxi's attention: "Humph!"
Kangxi frowned, imitated his previous behavior, and retorted: "What are you humming, are you a little pig?"
After saying this, Kangxi felt relieved. It really felt good to argue with people.
Kangxi was in a good mood and couldn't help but smile.
Who knows, Yin Zhuo said directly: "Yes, the emperor also likes to hum hum, and I also like to hum hum."
Kangxi suddenly stopped laughing and threatened him with a fierce face.
Wujina was also very scared at first, but she found it very interesting that her brother was not afraid at all when the emperor called him a pig, so she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Yin Zhuo then noticed that the little girl's front teeth had fallen out. No wonder the little girl had to cover her mouth whenever she laughed. It turned out to be because of this.
"You unfilial son! Give me your seat." Kangxi squeezed to the side of Yin Zhuo with a big knife and axe, and squeezed him to stand up.
Yin Zhuo didn't mind. He lowered his head to check the condition of Wujina's teeth. Wujina was very shy. She had a lisp when she spoke now, and she looked ugly without her front teeth. She was afraid that her brother would laugh at her.
Kangxi also noticed: "Wurina has changed her teeth."
[It's so funny, isn't it normal to replace teeth at this age? But it's a bit late for the front teeth to be replaced. 】
But the little girl was weak, sickly and underdeveloped, so he was not surprised that this happened.
"Don't keep licking." Yin Zhuo checked and found no redness or swelling, so he felt relieved and instructed Wu Rina like a caring older brother.
Wujina covered her mouth and nodded obediently.
Yin Zhuo frowned, always feeling that his sister was not as confident as Tana.
But there is no rush.
Fei Yangwu was already kneeling in front of Kangxi. Seeing that the emperor was drinking tea and listening to the conversation between the Sixth Prince and his sister, he dared not move.
If he had known, he wouldn't have come today.
Lord Helason is old and has no time to manage the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he has been in charge of it for the past two years.
But after arriving, he realized how powerful the Imperial Household Department was and the profits were shocking.
The price difference between inside and outside the palace was outrageous to Fei Yangwu, but this tradition had been going on for decades, so he had no choice but to continue.
And nothing happened to those ministers in charge.
So Fei Yangwu is a bit arrogant.
What's more, apart from dealing with eunuchs and palace maids, the Imperial Household Department had no master coming over, so it was a lucrative job.
As long as you can make deals with the people in the Imperial Household Department, you will never have to worry about food and drink, and you will get a lot of money.
After all, they were also in charge of various arrangements for the eunuchs and palace maids, such as monthly allowances, work arrangements, etc.
Who would have known that the Sixth Prince would have such a whim today that he would attract the Emperor.
Fei Yangwu is now only an acting chief minister, and the real person in power is Helasen, who is now retiring in his mansion.
Not to mention whether he will be promoted to a full-time position, he might even lose his head.
Now he could only hope with cold sweat that the Sixth Prince really came here to look for a paper eagle.
But wouldn't it be better to just talk to the paper ibis?
As long as the master asks for it, they can find any size of paper ibis, but don't attract the emperor over!
The Sixth Prince is not familiar with some of the things in this room, but how could the Emperor not know them?
Sure enough, just as Fei Yangwu was sweating profusely as he was thinking of a countermeasure, Kangxi said sarcastically: "Wow, this inkstone looks really familiar."
Kangxi put down the teacup leisurely, then walked around to the back of the desk. His face turned cold as he looked at the decorations on the table.
[My goodness, that inkstone is an antique, right? I don’t know which dynasty it came from, but the emperor actually recognized it. ]
Yin Zhuo held his little sister and started eating melon, intending to see how the emperor would deal with this man.
Kangxi's hands trembled and he gritted his teeth in anger. This little boy, not only did not want to help his father vent his anger, but he even wanted to sit aside and watch the show.
But Kangxi's face looked unhappy.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Kangxi sat on the chair, leaned back, and looked coldly at Fei Yangwu who was kneeling below.
You are so brave.
Some of these things were donated to him by others. Even though he could not use them or finish them all, they were not something that he, as a slave, could waste at will.
Kangxi thought of the egg incident again, and his face became even uglier.
"Who gave you the courage to use my share?!" Kangxi directly smashed the pony ornament used as a paperweight on Fei Yang Wude's forehead.
Fei Yangwu didn't dodge at all and took the blow head-on. An instant later, a bump appeared on his forehead, and some blood seeped out from the place where he was pierced by the pony pendant.
Kangxi knew his limits, so he paid attention to the strength, otherwise Fei Yangwu would have no chance to kneel in front of him.
Yin Zhuo was startled at first, then his eyes lit up. If the atmosphere wasn't so depressing, he would have wanted to applaud the Emperor.
Wuzhina looked at the pony ornament with some distress, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it was not damaged.
At the same time, he looked at Fei Yangwu angrily. This guy is bad!
In her heart, the Emperor, her brother, and her mother are right, no matter what they do, it is right because they are a family.
This guy must have made the emperor angry, so the emperor hit him with the pony.
Liang Jiugong was already kneeling beside them. The people outside the yard had been kneeling before, and now they didn't even dare to raise their heads when they heard the movement in the house.
Some of the brave ones raised their heads to take a look at the angry emperor, but were instantly frightened by his majesty and quickly lowered their heads to pretend to be dead.
Is the emperor going to punish Lord Fei Yangwu?
But the Minister-General is a second-rank official. Although Lord Fei Yangwu is now the acting Minister-General, his position is not low either. I don’t know what the outcome will be.
However, in the minds of the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if Minister Fei Yangwu was gone, wouldn't they be doomed?
Suddenly, sweat began to drip from the ground.
My life is over!
But some people think that Lord Fei Yangwu will at most be reprimanded.
After all, the things were not damaged, and the emperor could not use up all of them.
There are so many good things in the warehouse, all of which have a time limit. If the masters can't use them all, naturally the servants will take them and divide them up. This has been the practice for many years.
The emperor should have acquiesced, right?
Why did you suddenly get angry today?
The reason why Kangxi didn't say it before was because he didn't know how much profit these people had made?
Now that he had a concept in his mind that directly broke through his cognition, how could he not be angry.
Fei Yangwu was still trying to find an excuse, but he finally closed his eyes and said, "I just picked it up and didn't notice it was a relic from the previous dynasty. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
Yin Zhuo's eyes lit up. Oh no, is he planning to pass the buck to someone else?
I just picked it up. There are so many things in this room, you just picked it up, right?
It's so funny.
That calligraphy and painting is from the Tang Dynasty.
Don't think he knows anything good.
Yin Zhuo snorted coldly, and Fei Yangwu's chubby body stiffened, his legs already kneeling without feeling.
But the mind is still very clear.
Kangxi looked at Fei Yangwu and sighed, then said enviously: "The materials used in this chair and table are almost comparable to my dragon chair."
Fei Yangwu's face turned pale with fright.
"I didn't do that! I know I'm guilty!"
Now Fei Yangwu didn't dare to think about anything else and just confessed his guilt first.
If the emperor continues to say what he said, and charges him with coveting the throne, all his nine clans will be killed.
Kangxi was not in a hurry. After all, everyone was in the palace and the Forbidden City was under his nose. No matter how powerful Fei Yangwu was, he couldn't escape.
Even if you run away, you can escape the monk but not the temple.
Fei Yangwu's family are all in the capital.
"Where is the ledger?"
Kangxi stated his ultimate goal.
Xiaoliu probably came here for the account book this time, not just to take Wujina to get the paper ibis.
Kangxi glared at Xiaoliu, this troublesome kid.
How dare two people come in so brazenly?
I heard that the people in the kitchen were also on guard against Xiaoliu.
To be honest, he was worried that Xiaoliu would be poisoned to death one day.
As a father, Kangxi was always worried and couldn't let it go at all.
飛揚武已經趴在地上了,沒辦法他跪不住了。
“賬本不在奴才這。”
雖然知道皇上要發火,但是飛揚武還真沒見過賬本這東西。
他還觸碰不到這個。
是李公公在管着,他定期會去海拉遜大人那邊彙報。
但是做了幾套賬他是真不清楚。
康熙捋了捋胡子:“不在你那?那就去要!”
說完,康熙就站起來,一腳把飛揚武給踹了出去。
飛揚武趴在地上起都起不來,感覺時刻都要斷氣的感覺。
康熙輕蔑的瞅了他一眼,他之前還覺得飛揚武是個人才,現在看看這膽量也就這樣。
他是看走了眼啊。
尹灼還沒看過瘾呢,就見皇阿瑪要走。
然後尹灼牽着妹妹的小手緊跟其後,走到院子裏康熙突然停頓了下來,把衆人吓了一跳。
結果就聽到皇上對着六阿哥道:“不是要給烏日娜找紙鳶嗎?去吧。”
尹灼點頭,晃了晃烏日娜的小手,詢問她的意見,烏日娜抿了抿嘴,然後朝尹灼點了點頭。
于是,在一片緊張的氛圍之中,兄妹二人快樂的去挑選起了紙鳶。
然後內務府的衆人立馬被禁軍給圍了起來。
與此同時,宮外更有一批人去了海拉遜大人的府邸。
帶頭的就是胤褆。
康熙原本沒打算那麽快動手,而且他之前來這裏真的只是看小六。
結果內務府的人把他給惹毛了。
一個個奴才竟然吃穿用度都趕上主子了?
跟着他一起親征的士兵有的時候吃都吃不飽,這些人卻腆着肚子算計他的錢。
他軍饷都還沒湊齊呢。
康熙看到跪在地上的這些人,就仿佛看到了殺害大清将士的兇手。
他們不是主謀,但絕對是知情者。
而且還一起茍合,欺上瞞下,是大罪!
聽着後面小六跟烏日娜讨論紙鳶的聲音,康熙的心情平複了一點。
不能着急不能着急,要慢慢的改,不然宮內外都沒人了。
他昨日剛換掉乾清宮的人,要照這樣下去,整個紫禁城的太監和宮女都要換掉了。
康熙看着跪倒的衆人,悠悠的道:“每人一次檢舉揭發的機會,記住機會只有一次,還有朕缺錢。”
機會已經給了,就看這些人能不能把握的住了。
衆人都快哭了,皇上這是多缺錢啊?
坑完大臣坑他們這些奴才。
他們可沒有那些大臣們有錢啊,這是做什麽啊。
他們這些小喽啰真沒見過錢,只是出力罷了。
賺的都是辛苦費,保住小命寧就不錯了。
反正上級吩咐什麽他們做什麽,不然就把你換掉。
雖然內務府是個好差事,但是人員流動也是最大的,而且這個流動指的是死亡率。
畢竟生死大權都在內務府這呢,即使活着出去也是受苦受難。
衆人聽到了皇上的話,但也沒人敢這個時候出頭。
康熙也不急,尹灼見皇阿瑪說完了,這才一手拿了一個紙鳶出來。
“皇阿瑪消消火,氣壞身體沒人替,不要跟一個……那啥生氣哈。”
說着,就把挑的一個粉嫩可愛的紙鳶給了康熙,讓他拿着。
“這個是烏日娜的,皇阿瑪幫她拿一下。”
尹灼十分的不客氣。
烏日娜想自己拿,但是那個紙鳶太大了,只能眼巴巴的瞅着康熙,想讓他幫忙。
“哥哥累,謝謝皇阿瑪。”烏日娜還十分有禮貌。
但是康熙就是不開心,冷哼了一聲。
“你拿朕的碧螺春煮了奶茶,現在還讓朕當苦力。”
康熙把心裏的不滿終于說了出來。
尹灼都驚呆了,這是重點嗎?
這根本就不是問題的關鍵所在啊。
而且皇阿瑪怎麽能這麽說呢?
“奶茶不好喝嗎?”
他就不信了。
康熙沉默。
尹灼冷哼。
在烏日娜困惑的眼神中,父子二人帶着她終于離開了內務府。
尹灼出來才注意,整個內務府被人給圍起來了。
“這是怎麽了?這是怎麽了?”
尹灼眼睛亮晶晶的,開始裝傻。
【怎麽不見隆科多了啊?難不成因為李四兒出事了?】
康熙臉上有點不自然,誰能想到他看好的隆科多竟然能做出那番荒唐事。
雖然說現在那李四兒還沒有折騰隆科多的正妻,但康熙想到人彘就覺得隆科多太離譜了。
簡直荒唐。
他是不準備讓隆科多再上前惡心他了。
烏日娜眨了眨眼,沒有說話。
十分的乖巧。
因為有康熙在,尹灼離開的時候心情就輕松了不少,不由自主的想加快步伐,但烏日娜穿的是花盆鞋,今天走的夠遠了,現在腳有點不舒服。
梁九功是個敏感的人,但是他現在受傷了,只能推一個人出來。
“皇上,六阿哥,讓小鄧子來背公主殿下吧。”
尹灼這才低頭注意到烏日娜小臉蒼白蒼白的。
尹灼臉上積攢了怒氣:“這麽小穿這麽高的鞋作甚?”
真是離譜。
說着,尹灼就蹲下要背她:“腳不舒服要跟六哥說,來,六哥背你。”
要不是這有其他人在,他都想直接把烏日娜腳上的花盆鞋脫了扔掉,能扔多遠就扔多遠。
沒見過這麽作踐小孩的,烏日娜才多大啊。
【上次忘了跟皇阿瑪提裹腳的事了,花盆鞋走路就已經夠難受的了,那裹了腳的更別說了,那些吹捧裹腳的人就是歷史的罪人,這麽喜歡裹腳自己怎麽不裹,想想就惡心。】
康熙懷裏又被塞了一個紙鳶,帶着怒氣。
小六這是直接遷怒他了?
他這個當皇阿瑪的是真沒有留意到。
不然也不會讓烏日娜一直走那麽遠的,更何況這還有那麽多人呢。
烏日娜很瘦,但也是個小姑娘了,尹灼身體剛好,背着雖然不吃力,但也沒多輕松。
尹灼扶着康熙緩了一下,然後讓烏日娜抱住自己的脖子:“抱好了,哥哥帶你回宮,等到出宮了,哥哥就去給你買兩雙舒适的鞋子,咱們不穿這個了,墜腳容易長不高。”
烏日娜乖巧點頭,但是剛剛聽到六哥的心聲有些害怕。
這世上竟然還有人裹腳嗎?
怎麽裹啊?
烏日娜小小的腦袋裏還沒有這個概念。
康熙見小六倔強的背着烏日娜走在他旁邊,一時間不知道說什麽。
最終只是道:“小六想做什麽就做什麽,烏日娜,今日是皇阿瑪沒有照看好你,惹你六哥生氣了。”
這話說的茶茶的。
尹灼撅着嘴:“皇阿瑪這是作甚?要怪也是怪兒臣沒有看好妹妹,畢竟是兒臣帶他出來的,就是就是……”
尹灼在想怎麽把話題引向裹腳上去。
康熙挑眉,等着他繼續說。
“就是什麽?”
康熙見他不說話,忍不住道。
尹灼把烏日娜從自己背上放下來,然後捂住了她的兩只耳朵,湊到康熙面前好奇的道:“皇阿瑪有沒有聽說過裹腳?”
康熙故意道:“聽說過,怎麽着小六想要一個裹腳的大家閨秀當福晉?”
尹灼黑線。
【我真是不懂這些做家長的了,怎麽說什麽都能聯想到福晉上去啊?我可能等不到選秀人都沒了,而且我才多大啊……離譜。】
就在尹灼吐槽的時候,又聽到康熙遺憾的道:“可惜,朕曾經下令皇室女子不許裹腳,所以你的福晉也不能。”
尹灼眼睛瞪圓。
【老天啊,皇阿瑪竟然做了一件好事。】
康熙都想敲他,這叫什麽話,滿族女子需要騎馬,裹腳本來就誤事。
“那皇阿瑪是知道了咯,那皇阿瑪喜歡裹腳的女子嗎?”
康熙臉上露出嫌棄:“不喜歡,朕不懂江南那邊為什麽一直鼓吹三寸金蓮?”
關鍵還真有大家閨秀把自己的腳裹成三寸的,讓人吹捧。
尹灼的心情低沉了下來:“那皇阿瑪是讨厭那些裹腳的人了?”
康熙想點頭,但總覺得哪裏不對,小六怎麽感覺是在給自己挖坑啊。
康熙沒有回應,就聽到尹灼道:“其實他們也很可憐的,皇阿瑪該讨厭的是強迫那些人裹腳的人。”
“皇阿瑪知道每年因為裹腳會死去多少女孩嗎?”
康熙心中一驚,裹腳還會死人嗎?
尹灼嘆了一口氣:“皇阿瑪你想名留青史嗎?”
康熙黑臉,把他的腦袋拍開:“朕早就名留青史了。”
【臭不要臉的,知道網上有多少人罵你嗎?還好意思說自己名留青史了?】
康熙沉默,網上有人罵他是什麽意思?
小六不是說了什麽康乾盛世嗎?
都盛世了,怎麽着也不是一個昏君吧?
罵老四都罵不到他頭上來。
康熙不服,他生氣的道:“哦?難不成小六能有什麽名留青史的法子?”
他倒要看看小六能說出個什麽一二三來?
尹灼眼睛亮了:“有啊!”
“你下令所有人不許強迫家裏的女兒裹腳不就行了嗎?”
康熙有些猶豫:“小六,朕是滿族,你也是,裹腳是清軍進關之後漢人們的習俗,他們從宋朝就開始裹腳了。”
都流傳了這麽長時間了,也沒有哪一任皇帝下旨廢除這個習俗的啊。
現在滿漢交融,康熙不敢輕舉妄動。
In order to stabilize the Han officials, he took many measures. He did not understand foot binding, but he still chose to control his own little piece of land.
Yin Zhuo's face turned red with anger: "Foot binding is just to satisfy their disgusting fetish! It is a way to restrict the development of women, and so are flower pot shoes."
Kangxi was silent.
Kangxi knew, but what could he do?
"Forget it. Can I go to court tomorrow?"
[Who is preventing it from being abolished? I will scold him to death tomorrow! ]
Kangxi was somewhat speechless: "The court is not a place for you to play and make trouble."
"Humph, I can get up. I am also the son of the Emperor, so why can't I go? And I have to tell you about the theft of money in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Yin Zhuo was blinded by anger.
Kangxi: ...
Do you, Guo Luomafa, know about this?
Xiaoliu is planning to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.
I don’t know if Concubine De has received the news.
"The imperial guards have already gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and why do you care whether people bind their feet or not?"
Kangxi really didn't understand, just like he didn't understand why men liked women with bound feet.
Kangxi thought Xiaoliu was very emotional. In fact, he had a prejudice against people who bound their feet, but Xiaoliu was able to change his perspective and said that they were innocent and the hateful ones were those who forced them to bind their feet.
Those abominable customs confined those people's lives to a small yard.
Like a poor swallow trapped in a cage.
Kangxi suddenly felt terrified when he thought about it.
Yin Zhuo felt that he had to do something when he came here. Maybe his power was not strong enough, but if he didn't do it, he would die with regrets.
Kangxi was shocked by the fact that he died with his eyes open.
"Forget it. Stand with your brothers tomorrow. If you get beaten, there will be someone to take the brunt of it for you."
Kangxi had no idea what crazy things those stubborn ministers would do.
"Besides, the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't call that stealing money. How can you be so uneducated?"
Kangxi was very disappointed that his work could not be made into steel.
Xiaoliu is too uneducated.
