Chapter 56

Kangxi also knew that he might be a little drunk, so he stopped insisting, stood up and said: "Let's fight here today, and we will fight again in the future. King Kang and Xiao Guizi follow me around." Everyone got up one after another Sending off, I saw the excitement on everyone's faces, no wonder, although these people are relatives with Kangxi, but after all, they are the emperor, and they have never had the treatment of eating at the same table, let alone two punches with the emperor Now, taking advantage of Kang Wang's banquet, he actually got in close contact with the current Holy Majesty, who would be excited.

Kang Wang was also very happy, although this restaurant had nothing to do with him, he was just acting as a facade, but everyone didn't know the inside story, and they all thought he opened it, and he also thought that he was just taking care of this restaurant at the emperor's entrustment. The emperor would personally come to congratulate him, and toast him a glass of wine in front of everyone. This would be a great honor, an honor that no one else could even imagine.But glory to glory, he was very awkward that I didn't tell him in advance that the emperor was coming, he almost made a fool of himself in front of the emperor, and the blame will always be on my head.As soon as I went out, while Kangxi was walking in front, Prince Kang suddenly stretched out his hands to pinch my ears, and said in a low voice: "You bastard, why didn't the emperor tell me when he was coming?" Kangxi never thought that this little trick would be discovered by him. Stopped, turned around, smiled and said: "Kang Kang, you have wronged Xiao Guizi, no one knew when I came, and even Xiao Guizi was shocked when he saw me." I also said: "No Well, when I saw the emperor on the street, my legs were so frightened that my legs went limp, and when I went upstairs to report, the emperor wanted to give everyone a surprise, so I surprised you all the time." Prince Kang said helplessly. Smiling, he said, "Your Majesty, it's very dangerous outside the palace. It's better to go back earlier." Kangxi turned around, walked slowly, and said, "With you and Xiao Guizi here, I have nothing to be afraid of." After speaking, he pushed open a door, raised his legs and stepped in.These words sounded very pleasing to the ear, Lord Kang and I were very useful, as if we were the unstoppable hunk, we walked in with our chests upright.

The room was full of officials from various ministries, Mingzhu and Suo'etu were also sitting inside, and everyone was drinking happily, when they saw Prince Kang and two beautiful young men coming in, they all got up, picked up their wine glasses, and wanted to toast to King Kang, I blinked at Suo'etu anxiously, and Suo'etu recognized me immediately, and was about to speak with joy on his face, but I forced my mouth to Kangxi. This Suo'etu is worthy of being called the three-eyed man, and he immediately saw Kangxi's face clearly. Kneeling down with a plop, he shouted: "Long live God is auspicious." Everyone was startled, and they all looked in the direction of Suo'etu's kneeling, and knelt down on the ground for a while.Kangxi said with a smile: "Get up, I'm here to support King Kang, let's take a look at everyone, you continue to play, don't spoil everyone's interest because of me." Suo'etu was the first to stand up and saw Kangxi's face The red one knew that he had drunk a lot of wine and was in a good mood, so he said: "The emperor personally came to support Lord Kang and had fun with his ministers. He is really a rare virtuous monarch. We follow the emperor to do things, and we are all in a good mood." It's a pleasure, I just hope that I will follow the emperor for the rest of my life." These few flattery words were just right, Kangxi couldn't hear it from ear to ear, and I also quietly extended my thumb to Suo Ertu.The other ministers were preempted by Suo'etu, and they were eager to show their loyalty. Kangxi smiled and said, "Look at what I said, as soon as I came, you all were spoiled by the wine, and no one would drink it. It's good to be buried." Wouldn't it be a pity to drink too much. You keep playing, I'll leave the room for a walk." After speaking, he turned and went out.

A group of ministers in the room seemed anxious to show their capacity for drinking, and immediately caught up with each other and began to fight over wine.Seeing that I was about to go out with Kangxi, Suo'etu quietly pulled me and said in a low voice, "Brother, you are so grand that even the emperor has been invited." I laughed and said, "This is Prince Kang's shop. Kang Wang has a lot of face." Suo Etu winked and said: "You are really there, use Kang Wang as a gunman, and no one dares to control your restaurant even if it sells human flesh." I laughed and walked away with his hand go out.

Kangxi was in high spirits, and he would never have had the chance to meet such lively scenes in the palace. In addition, he was in power not long ago, and it was a critical period for him to get in touch with the ministers.So they didn't miss the previous room, and turned around one by one.As in the previous situation, there were praises everywhere, and all the officials were very excited that the emperor could come in person, and even a few older ministers shed tears.Prince Kang has also earned a lot of face, and everyone looks at him differently. This old prince seems to be much younger, his waist is no longer painful, his legs are no longer sore, and he can go up to the fifth floor without any effort.

The bustling three floors turned down, worried that Kangxi was out for too long, and it would be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother in the palace. Prince Kang and I persuaded him to return to the palace, but Kangxi couldn't resist, so we had to escort him out of the restaurant.Several waiters lined up outside the door, bent down to send us out together, and saw that they didn't straighten up after walking a long way.Kangxi found it very interesting, so he asked about the origins of these female waiters, and I replied: "These girls are the family members of the officials involved in the case, and they were rewarded as slaves by the meritorious officials. Let’s start,” he said and glanced at Prince Kang, “so the servants bought them, trained them, and became waiters.

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Well, you little Guizi, you are really clever and can always come up with new tricks. Some officials are poor and can't afford domestic slaves. I didn't think of these problems before. After you reminded me , I feel that things are difficult. Every time an important person commits a crime, there will always be hundreds of family members, or even thousands of them. If everyone is rewarded, it may not be a good thing for the rewarded. To feed them with food, we can't kill them all at once. You gave me an idea today. In this way, if your restaurant can make money, you can continue to do other businesses. Whatever you need, Kang Wang and I will give you. As long as the business can be done, we will give you as much as you need for the family members of the prisoner, this matter will be under the care of King Kang, you can just ask him to go." He pointed to Prince Kang, and Prince Kang quickly said yes.

Kangxi went on to say: "In addition to the imperial dining hall, there is also a wide storage department in our palace. There are craftsmen in silver, copper, dyeing, clothing, embroidery, flowers, leather, etc. If you need manpower for any business, just go and pick people. Now that the Minister in charge of the House of Internal Affairs is Prince Kang concurrently, I will make you the deputy chief eunuch of the House of Internal Affairs again, so it will be easier to do things." I was overjoyed that I could get an official position by doing business, and asked: " Your Majesty, what rank is this deputy chief?" Prince Kang rushed to say: "From the fourth rank, congratulations, Eunuch Gui has been promoted again." Kangxi smiled and said: "You are the deputy chief first, if you do well , I’ll find a reason to remove Wu Liangfu and let you be the chief.” I thought to myself that I’d better keep your chief, I still want to be a decent official, no matter how big the chief is, he’ll be a eunuch after all.But he said in his mouth: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the slave should do things with all his heart."

The three of them had already returned to the palace while they were talking, and went straight past the Qianqing Palace, and after that was the Inner Palace. It was inconvenient for Prince Kang to enter, so he knelt down and resigned from Kangxi, and went back to the restaurant.Kangxi didn't let me go back, he asked me to accompany me to the bedroom, the maid brought some refreshments, Kangxi drank a few cups of tea to sober up, his interest was still undiminished, he ordered someone to hold a banquet in the imperial garden, and wanted to get drunk with me.Anyway, I have already returned to the palace, as long as I don't drink him to death, it will not hinder me, so I don't try to stop him, let him have his own way.

The eunuchs chose a pavilion with stone tables and benches, and placed the cups and chopsticks, but hesitated where to put my utensils. After all, there was no rule in the palace to eat at the same table with the emperor, but Kangxi ignored these and ordered the eunuchs Put my cup and chopsticks opposite him, and asked me to sit down, and when the wine and food were served, I asked all the maids and eunuchs to retreat far away out of sight, and then they began to drink with me.

I looked around and no one could hear us, so I asked, "Your Majesty, you just said that you want to do business with great fanfare. Is it really just for fun? It's not for fun, just opening a restaurant is enough." " Kangxi said with a smile: "Of course it's not all for fun. From a young age, I have solved the problem of offenders' families. I have already talked about this. The most important thing is that I want to find another way to strengthen the country."

"The way to strengthen the country?" I asked in surprise.

Kangxi drank a glass of wine and said: "That's right. Our ancestors have always been based on agriculture and valued agriculture over business. But I'm thinking that since ancient times, some important towns and famous cities have been famous for their large population and prosperous commerce. It is business that plays an important role, so I want to do some exploration in this aspect, and it happened that you secretly opened a wine shop behind my back, so I will use your wine shop as a small experiment." Hearing this I smiled embarrassedly.

Kangxi said again: "Of course, only one restaurant is not enough to draw conclusions, so I will give you my full support. I hope you will also try in the areas of money houses, pawnshops, commercial firms and various small workshops, and find out a way to become a commercially powerful country." way out."

I was overjoyed when I heard the words, but asked again: "Why did the emperor want me to do these things? Throwing money and things in for nothing, but it's all cheap for me. You don't want anything in return, why don't you do it yourself?" Kangxi said with a smile: "There are two meanings in this. Firstly, our friendship is based on friendship, and we have made such great contributions. I will always give you some benefits. If you wait by my side, there will always be some ministers trying to understand me. Likes and dislikes, I hand over money to you. If you make enough money in business, you won’t accept those little money and commit infidelity. Secondly, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and I must never give up my respect for agriculture for the sake of business. Development, so I leave the business to you to handle, and I focus on agriculture. This spring, I have opened dozens of good fields in Huangzhuang to cultivate new rice varieties. Those ministers only Knowing how to fight wars, but Hanchen can only read books and make fusses, I think you are very smart, and I can only rest assured if I let you do this business matter."

Hearing Kangxi's praise, I was naturally overjoyed and clinked glasses with him again and again.With the emperor's support, it's hard for me not to make a fortune. Although some readers have long suspected that my fake Wei Xiaobao is not good-looking, has no courage, and doesn't think about making progress all day long, so what, we can still be the number one in the Qing Dynasty. A rich man with a red top, his family is full of beautiful wives and concubines, I still think this day is the most nourishing.

After unraveling the confusion in my heart, I felt very refreshed. Seeing that Kangxi was still drinking heavily, I also had the idea of ​​simply getting drunk. I drank heavily with him, chatted casually, and watched the sun go down. The setting sun cast light spots all over the garden, and the two of us were also covered with yellow shadows. Such a beautiful scenery, Kangxi couldn't help standing up, holding a wine glass, took a big sip, and said: "It's such a beautiful scene, why have I never seen it before?" Ever?" I laughed and said, "I think you see it every day, but you never pay attention to it. You are the emperor, and you are busy with government affairs all day long, so how can you care about it." Kangxi nodded and said: "You have some truths, my own Since I was enthroned, I have been doing homework or government affairs, and I have never had the fun I have today, and thanks to you opening such a restaurant, I have had a good time." I said, "The emperor is in modest clothes today, and he finally got out of the palace gate once. If you have a chance, you can go out often. The room in our restaurant where you drink today will be vacant from now on, and it will be reserved for you to go out of the palace for a while." Kangxi was a little moved, and said: "The location of the room is good, you can see It is indeed a great pleasure to see the scenery on the street and watch the people shuttle under their feet."

During the conversation, the sun gradually faded, and a round of bright moon hung in the sky, and the golden yellow in the eyes turned into a whole piece of silver. Kangxi drank another glass of wine, took a long breath, and chanted: "You must be happy when you are happy in life. Don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born with a talent that will be useful, and I will come back after all the gold is gone. Cooking cattle and sheep is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will drink, Junmo Stop. A song with Junge, please listen to me. Bells, drums, and jade are not expensive, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk. The ancient sages are lonely, but the drinkers leave their names." I was surprised, this poem is true. It is very familiar, especially the sentence that I am born to be useful. I have heard it many times. Now when I hear him read it, my head buzzes. Is it possible that this poem was composed by Kangxi?

No matter who wrote the poem, he flattered him first before talking about it, so I shouted: "Good poems, good poems, Xiao Xuanzi, you are really amazing, you can write such good poems with just opening your mouth." Kangxi laughed loudly Get up and say: "You just don't read. This is "Will Enter the Wine" written by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. I didn't do it. I read it a few days ago and I like these lines very much, so I read it casually. Come out." I blushed, this time I was really ashamed, Li Bai didn't understand the general drinking, and used it to flatter me.But you can’t blame me, I graduated from a computer science major, and I didn’t major in liberal arts. It’s no big deal if I don’t memorize a couple of Tang poems.

I also know Li Bai's poems. Since I am playing with elegance, I will also give him a few sentences, so I cleared my throat and chanted: "The moonlight is bright in front of the bed, and it is probably frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon, bow your head and think Hometown." Readers must not scold me when they see this, because they only found this whole song in their stomachs, and there may be a few other sentences, but they couldn't make up the whole thing for a while.I have to take out this enlightenment book for preschool children and show it.

Kangxi sat down, looked at me, and asked after a while: "Homesick?" Presumably he thought I read this poem out of emotion, but how did he know that I was really out of money and couldn't come up with a response? Things come according to the situation.No way, I just nodded.Kangxi asked again: "Where is your hometown?" I thought about it and decided to use Wei Xiaobao's birthplace as the standard, so I said: "I was born in Yangzhou." Kangxi sighed and said: "Yangzhou is a good place, The scenery is beautiful, the products are rich, and the people’s lives are rich.” I was worried that he would reveal his secrets when he asked about Yangzhou, so I hurriedly changed the topic: “Little Xuanzi, in the poem you read just now, there is a sentence that the ancient sages are lonely, you are the emperor. , lonely?"

Kangxi's eyes sank, he picked up the wine glass and stood up again, walked to the edge of the pavilion, looked at the bright moon in the sky, stood motionless for a long time, and sang softly: "Who enters my room, but there is a breeze. Accompany me Drink, only as the bright moon." I don't understand poetry anymore, but I can still understand these two sentences, so I stepped forward and said, "Little Xuanzi, I'm drinking with you, don't be too sad."

Kangxi turned around, smiled at me, and said, "Xiao Guizi, since I met you, I have been so happy that I can't describe it, especially today, it is the happiest day for me. Being the emperor, I feel like I am wrapped in a quilt." I don’t know how to thank you, I know you are homesick, but unfortunately you are an eunuch, there are rules in our palace, eunuchs are strictly forbidden to leave Beijing, otherwise I will be free Let you go back to visit your relatives."

Now that I couldn't bear it anymore, the smell of alcohol poured into my forehead, and I said loudly: "Little Xuanzi, I am a fake eunuch!"

Wei Xiaobao sighed: "After a month of messing around at the starting point, I finally left the rookie list. I was killed by Sanjiang several times, and there was no news of the forced push, and there was no chance to make progress. But we can't stop writing, these many men have been living for a long time. Smashing votes every day really made us look good, how can we ignore everyone. If you lose the list, you don’t have to worry about the limit on the number of words. Whenever I have time, I will spend it on code words, and I will never let down the folks. their expectations."
