[Qing Dynasty] Friends always come to chat with me in the middle of the night

Nalan Xingde took the initiative to talk to Wei Tong after the initial embarrassment, "We will work together in the future, and we will be much closer than before." I have advice." When Wei Tong went to report, it happened to be the same time rotation as Nalan Xingde.There are 60 first-class guards, distributed in various important positions.And every two first-class guards lead dozens of second-class guards to protect the safety of the emperor.

Wei Tong stood in his new post, outside the palace gate.Inside the hall is Kangxi, outside the hall is the scorching sun, but Wei Tong feels very stable.Although the bottom is still rough, but no matter what, it is calmer now.However, the relationship between Wei Tong and Nalan Xingde did not deteriorate because of the relationship between the jewel in the court, on the contrary, it gradually improved. Soon after, the two became brothers.

One day, when Nalan and Wei Tong were having a private drink, he only revealed the truth. At the beginning, he got close to Wei Tong because he felt that Wei Tong was a gentleman, and he would deal with things in a down-to-earth manner, and would not be moved like other people. be careful.And after that, she really cared about Wei Tong after Mingzhu started to deal with him.

Nalan Xingde held up his wine glass, finished drinking again under the silver light, and said softly, "Father strives for profit, and I can't change it. But he will attack you, which really makes me very discouraged. If it's a political enemy, that's fine. But what you have done has nothing to do with his interests and his position. It is worth such a big fight to send you to hell? Although I have always known these things, but this officialdom is filthy, but it is my father's handwriting. I am so ashamed." Zhuo Zhuo Junzi, mellow wine, just sighed, and felt helpless.

Wei Tong couldn't persuade anything, he was a player in the game, and it was inappropriate to say anything.Suo Xing Nalan Xingde is not a hypocritical character, after talking about it briefly, he stopped talking about it, but talked about other things, chatting, and talked about the rejection of Wei Tong by the third-class guards at the beginning.He smiled and said: "It's just that they are jealous, not because of the difference between civil and military. Look at these guards, except for those who are really ambitious, which one has really become the second-class guard? What kind of person is the emperor? Where can you not see it?"

How could the emperor not know that the bodyguard office became the promotion place for some dignitaries' children.It's just that this is the emperor's close place, whether it has the ability or not, there will still be a difference.Anyone who can get close to the emperor is someone he trusts more. "Like Brother Wei, the emperor must value you. They just couldn't let go of it when they saw it. Among these individuals, few of them actually entered the army and dared to go to the battlefield." Nalan Xingde's words made Wei Tong see another side, feeling unpredictable.

In the depths of the conversation, the two were very drunk. When they were on duty the next day, they had a splitting headache, but they couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other.In the afternoon, Wei Tong was called into the imperial study by Kangxi.This is the first time Wei Tong has seen Kangxi with his obvious identity since he came back.

"The humble Wei Tong..." Wei Tong just knelt down after entering the imperial study, and before he finished speaking, Kangxi interrupted him, "Fengzhi, are you trying to piss me off?" Why don't you try again?" At that time, only Wei Tong and Liang Jiugong were left in the room. Liang Jiugong had already pretended to be dead and stood in the corner. Wei Tong glanced at Liang Jiugong's position and stood up helplessly.It is impossible to hide their relationship from the close attendants of the emperor.

"Xuan, I should be cautious about the occasion." In this case, if he is called the emperor again, he must be looking for death. Wei Tong simply relaxed and walked straight to Kangxi, not seeing Liang Jiugong's almost staring eyes behind him. son.Kangxi glanced lightly across Wei Tong's shoulder and glanced at Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong suddenly felt cold all over and remained motionless.

"You drank wine secretly last night." Kangxi said calmly, Wei Tong hesitated for a while, wondering if this is a taboo topic?Then he calmed down again, "No, Xuan, I didn't drink secretly, I drank openly." Hearing this, Kangxi seemed to have a small spark in his eyes, "Do you still remember that you owe me a drink?" .”

Wei Tong was stunned, remembering their murmurs and the words he thought he was going to say before he died, and said earnestly: "Of course I remember." If Kangxi asked him to drink with him again today, Wei Tong would give up. After this life, he must have a drink with Kangxi to his heart's content.

After Kangxi heard Wei Tong's answer, his whole person seemed to be much quieter. Instead, he didn't continue to struggle with this matter, but brought up other things. "Although your matter was resolved a few days ago, have you ever thought about who will deal with you so deliberately?" Wei Tong rubbed his forehead, the stamina of the hangover was still reverberating in his body, he swallowed the root of his tongue With bitterness, he said softly: "The most obvious ones, of course, are those few. But the reason they are targeting is actually very clear. Although the officials do not compete with the people for profit, how can every real big businessman not stand behind him?" A high-ranking official? If the Wei family continues to develop, I don’t know you, and I will soon be eaten away by these people.”

"Although Mingxiang stepped forward, he was doing it for the business opportunity in Jiangnan, not targeting me specifically. This kind of low-handed method is fast, precise and ruthless, leaving almost no way out. It always feels that it is not Mingxiang's style." Now that Mingxiang has stood up in an open and aboveboard manner, he feels that he is setting himself in a cocoon if he engages in such insidious means.

"It's Suo'etu." Kangxi said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, but he admired Wei Tong.Wei Tong had never had contact with courtiers before returning to Beijing, but he was so transparent in a short period of time.After hearing Kangxi's words, Wei Tong was startled suddenly. The impression of Mingzhu and Suo'etu was still deeply in Wei Tong's mind. How could he make these two people attack together.

"Hmph, these two usually fight against each other, but when they encounter something, they think of going together." Kangxi's tone was tinged with anger, and the expression on his face did not relax at all, "If it wasn't for Suo'etu's cleverness, he would be killed You were clever and mistaken, you got confused by going too many ground wires, and it will take a lot of time to find out who did it. He caused you to suffer in prison, and I can't easily let him go!"

"Xuan, Suo'etu is the prince's great-uncle, and he has made great contributions in flattening Oboi and cutting down the San Francisco. You can't punish him too much." To plead for mercy.It's just that Suo'etu and Mingzhu are very important in the court now, especially Suo'etu, who is also a hero. If he is punished too much just for him as a guard, it will chill the courtiers.

Kangxi put his hand on Wei Tong's shoulder, as if to comfort him, and said softly: "Fengzhi, you are wrong. Rewards and punishments are what should be done. I have already rewarded Suo'etu for his meritorious service, and I will reward you in the future." Reuse him. But he should be punished for attacking you because of his own self-interest, and you think I will sit idly by? There is no evidence, but for me, do I need evidence?" The last sentence was leaning on Wei Tong'er While talking in a low voice, the warm breath slapped on Wei Tong's ears continuously, and it turned red all of a sudden.

Wei Tong has gotten used to Kangxi's sudden actions recently, but he pushed him away without hesitation, stood a few steps away coughing and said: "What you said is true, you should be punished." Kangxi looked at Wei Tong's prudence He couldn't help laughing out loud, the deep and gentle laughter calmed down all the restlessness, and Wei Tong couldn't help laughing out, even relaxing his unconsciously tense body just now.

"Why didn't Fengzhi ever mention the emperor's grandmother?" Kangxi's question after laughing made Wei Tong freeze in place for a moment. With the pain that fell on him, he couldn't have any good feelings for her.However, he sighed helplessly, "Even if the Empress Dowager did something in it, it would only be fueling the flames on the Wei family." No matter how Xiaozhuang disliked him, such a scheme was too much Being rude also easily reveals Wei Tong's most secret identity.If Wei Tong is tortured, then his identity as a palace man may also be discovered, and the whole line involved in this is what Xiao Zhuang does not want to see.

"You're right." Kangxi said quietly thoughtfully.

"However," Kangxi changed the subject, "Where did you put the gold medal I gave you to avoid death?" Facing Kangxi's 180-degree jump, Wei Tong almost didn't recover, "Put it on." In the mansion."

"Then next time, if you encounter such a thing again, just show it to me. I will bear with it. If there is any trouble, I will settle it. Don't let me see you in prison again." Wei Tong heard Kangxi's words Feeling deeply helpless, he said with a sneer, "I didn't find this by myself, it's just that things can't help but come to me."

Kangxi looked at Wei Tong up and down, and the way he shook his head was more human than usual. The act of Wei Tong casually patting Kangxi's shoulder almost scared Liang Jiugong who was standing in the corner. Lost.

Liang Jiugong has served Kangxi for so many years. Although he knew the relationship between Wei Tong and Kangxi, he just made his debut ten years ago, and then Wei Tong was forced out of the palace and disappeared.In the past ten years, Liang Jiugong has become more and more calm and self-reliant as an emperor day by day, and he has seen his iron-blooded methods in government affairs without mercy. He can never imagine that he will laugh loudly like a teenager one day.Even facing his most beloved prince, Kangxi has never had such a comfortable smile.Something suddenly flooded Liang Jiugong's heart, but he suddenly covered it up in shock, no wonder... no wonder... He thought of the vague message from the imperial concubine yesterday, cut off all the flames at once, and decided to After that, be cautious in your words and deeds, and do nothing that should not be done.
