Kangxi lost interest in strolling any further. Just as he was considering whether to send someone to call Fucha Maska back, he heard a long and critical rant:
"The Imperial Household Department has tens of thousands of bondservants, and their wealth is half that of the emperor's. The emperor has to work hard to earn his inheritance, but the bondservant's son is just squandering the emperor's wealth."
"Tsk, otherwise they would say people would be reborn, why don't I have such a good life? I have never been to a brothel in my life, but they are partying every night!"
...Actually, he had been there in his previous life.
The veins on Kangxi's forehead jumped, and he gritted his teeth, pulled the jade pendant off his waist, and handed it to Liang Jiugong.
"Mobilize troops from the outskirts of Beijing and arrest all those in charge of the Imperial Household Department!"
Liang Jiugong's heart was beating violently, and he hesitated.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Kangxi's eyes widened.
"You little dog slave, what I said doesn't work anymore?!"
Liang Jiugong shrank back and said hurriedly,
"I'll go right away!"
Seeing this, Yinreng's complaints were accurately conveyed to Kangxi's ears without him opening his mouth.
"Wouldn't it have been over if they had done this earlier? They curse me like a slave every day, and yet they also praise me like a slave every day. Who among those in charge of the Imperial Household Department isn't well-fed and fat, with a belly full of fat? And look at the princes and princesses in the harem who are as skinny as little chickens..."
"Tsk... the old man is kind of a father after all!"
Kangxi took two deep breaths and walked out.
"Return to the palace!"
Yinreng: "Ah? Why are you leaving? Aren't you taking all these treasures with you? At least give me a few!"
After returning to the palace, Kangxi directly sent Yinreng away and waited for news in the Qianqing Palace.
He really didn't want to listen to Yinreng's nagging anymore.
Yinreng still wanted to watch the fun, but he couldn't persuade Kangxi, so he had to return to Yuqing Palace first.
The news that Kangxi led his troops to break into the residence of the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Household Department soon spread.
When Maska heard this from his confidant, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The henchman first pinched Maska's Ren Zhong, then broke his water, and then slapped him in the face before waking him from his coma.
After Maska woke up, he did not bother to ask Kangxi why he did this. He first asked someone to notify his brothers, and then crawled to the Qianqing Palace to apologize.
When Kangxi heard that Maska was kneeling outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity and asking for an audience and had left him alone for half an hour, Yinreng was in his study recalling everything that had happened over the years.
After thinking it over, he found that everything Kangxi did was within the controllable range. He breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of irony suddenly flashed in his eyes.
It seems that he has made a lot of contributions to Kangxi over the years.
The sky outside seemed to darken in an instant. Yinreng walked to the window and looked up at the overcast sky.
The Qianqing Palace should be full of people kneeling there to apologize for their crimes, right?
Yinreng murmured,
"It's going to rain... Good rain!"
Yinreng guessed correctly. After Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to mobilize troops to arrest people, the entire Imperial Household Department was in chaos in just two or three hours.
Without Kangxi's detailed division, anyone who had any connection with the Imperial Household Department was arrested by Liang Jiugong and taken outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
People in the Forbidden City were in a panic, and everything seemed to have come to a standstill. The concubines, princes and princesses were all huddled in their bedrooms, anxiously waiting for news.
In the harem, almost all concubines have close ties with the bondservants.
Kangxi suddenly went crazy and arrested all the people in charge, which made them anxious.
After Liang Jiugong captured the man, he hurried back to his place to change his clothes. He couldn't go to see the emperor all wet, otherwise it would be disrespectful.
Except for extremely special circumstances when he could leave the palace and return to his residence in the imperial city, he had to stay by Kangxi's side all the time.
In addition to him, there are seven other deadly warriors with superb martial arts skills around Kangxi, and none of them can leave Kangxi's sight too far.
So he had a place to stay in the palace.
It was a room that Kangxi allocated for him in a side hall of the Qianqing Palace.
Unlike other eunuchs, they had to be gathered together before the night curfew and follow the main group out of the palace to the residence allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Liang Jiugong didn't think much after entering the room and quickly took off his clothes. When he was naked and wanted to pull the towel to wipe his body, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the snuff bottle he had placed on the bedside.
Liang Jiugong's heart sank suddenly.
This snuff bottle was an object from the end of the previous dynasty. It was given to him by Wenrui, the head cook of the kitchen. He played with it a few times when he was bored and then casually placed it on the bedside.
Didn’t he ask Jinzhong to come and clean up?
Why is this thing still here?
What happened to Jinzhong?
Why are you so careless?
Liang Jiugong complained while putting on his clothes, and decided to take the snuff bottle away and find an opportunity to dispose of it.
After he put on his clothes and took the snuff bottle, intending to check again to see if he had forgotten anything, he found that nothing in the room showed any signs of having been touched.
Liang Jiugong's heart sank.
Jinzhong...
Liang Jiugong gripped the snuff bottle tightly, and a few dangerous rays of light flashed in his turbid old eyes.
If he still can't see the ins and outs here, then most of his life spent with Kangxi will be in vain.
Liang Jiugong thought he had a sharp eye, but he didn't expect that the godson he raised in a fit of rage would turn out to be a complete ungrateful person.
Thinking about how he had been complaining in his heart that the rain outside was falling at the wrong time before returning here, Liang Jiugong suddenly felt a little relieved.
