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

The next day, when Kangxi reconvened the court meeting, even though the ministers standing in the hall were fighting each other, most of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kangxi was a good emperor. Although sometimes he was stricter and his ideas were novel, most people had no intention of changing the emperor.The crown prince is young, and now he has no successors. If it is true... the court is at stake.

However, no amount of persuasion could match the flames burning in their hearts when they saw a man standing in front of the civil servants. Wei Tong's court uniform had already been made and arrived at Wei Tong along with the reward.Today's Wei Tong not only changed into a first-grade court dress, but also stood at the forefront.This makes some people unhappy.

However, no matter how great the displeasure was, one had to endure it. Although the emperor hadn't healed in the past few days, all officials who had exaggerated their statements were punished.Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, the people Kangxi really wanted to warn had already received such information.

Kangxi's eyes swept down lightly, and he saw Wei Tong standing in front at a glance.This is Wei Tong's first actual visit to court.He has been here many times with Kangxi, whether as a eunuch or as an imperial guard, he is no stranger to these people and this place.Even though the backside was extremely hot, Wei Tong looked at the steps in front of him calmly and calmly.

Kangxi didn't have a court meeting for a long time. Even in private, he often braced his body to correct the memorials, and he still accumulated a lot of affairs. Please play the emperor.Only half an hour later, Wei Tong, who originally planned to keep a low profile for a while, rolled up his sleeves and ended up "fighting". Is it funny to raise farmers' taxes in front of his interview? !

In recent years, during the Qing Dynasty’s southern and northern wars, although there were no major battles except San Francisco, the consumption of grain and grass was still not to be underestimated. Some people proposed to increase the tax on grain and grass, and at the same time increase the tax rate on business.Agricultural tax is an issue that Wei Tong has been paying attention to all the time. During the time when Wei Tong founded Wei's, Wei Tong had already seen that commercial tax was too high to an outrageous level.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Tong was so angry that no one could find Bei.Kangxi made a final decision and denied this idea.

It would be fine if Kangxi tried his best to defend Wei Tong, but what Wei Tong said made sense, deeply hurt the other party's painful feet, and made him furious.However, this is not a place for lip service. After this matter came to fruition, someone mentioned other matters immediately.It's not that they don't want to support this lord, the problem is that they haven't finished dealing with the things they have piled up in their hands, and if they offend the emperor first, wouldn't they be looking for death.

After this incident, Wei Tong well expressed the meaning of the words "watching from the sidelines", completely ignoring what they were talking about.Kangxi would never deal with things that could be dealt with at the court meeting later.Now he is in the prime of life and in power, no one dares to offend his majesty in court affairs.No matter how dissatisfied he was with Wei Tong's affairs, after spying out Kangxi's intentions, he immediately took various targeted actions.

The meeting was long and intense, and when it was time to retreat, some weaker officials almost fainted when they came out to see the sun.No way, too much mental pressure.Wei Tong gave a few hands behind his head without any trace, and shook his head secretly, his body was too weak at this level.

When he, who was standing at the front, walked out of the palace gate, he saw the bright face by the gate at a glance... Didn't this come to look for him?

"Master Wei, please stop." Nalan Mingzhu stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Wei Tong's heart moved, and he had already saluted.Nalan Mingzhu was standing next to him just now, but he hardly spoke from the beginning to the end, and only looked at him faintly.

"Scholar Nalan is serious." Wei Tong's gentle voice sounded, appearing to be very polite.The two of them stood together, looking extremely strange.Although Nalan Mingzhu did agree with some of Wei Tong's points of view before, but the two are still not in the same group, and now they are together...

"Your Majesty Wei is young and promising, with outstanding achievements. In fact, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. When I was your age, I was just a kid." There is something in it.

"Although Gou Zi is on good terms with Mr. Wei, he is absolutely inferior to Mr. Wei." Wei Tong couldn't pretend that he didn't hear this sentence.

"Scholar, Rong Ruozhi's talent and learning are far beyond my reach, you're going to beat me to death by saying that."

"Hahahaha, how can such a small brilliance of Quanzi compare to Master Wei's achievements, and he has a deep relationship with the emperor? Quanzi seems to have won a statement, but it is of no use." Nalan Mingzhu said inadvertently , and Wei Tong's smile subsided slightly, and when he was about to say something, Liang Jiugong's voice came from behind him.

"Master Wei, please stop." It was exactly the same as what Nalan Mingzhu said not long ago.

The two stood still and watched Liang Jiugong rush over.There were some traces of sweat on his forehead, and when he saw Wei Tong stop, he said with relief: "Master Wei, I almost missed it. This is something you left behind earlier, and the emperor ordered the servant to return it to you." The little servant behind him Taking a step forward, there was a sword on the plate in his hand.

Wei Tong hesitated for a few seconds before looking at Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "Yes, yesterday's reward fell. The emperor rewarded you with this Shangfang sword. I hope you can keep your original intention. With this sword, you can cut it first and play it later. It's cheap." , Mr. Wei must not let down the great trust of the emperor."

……

Just as Wei Tong wanted to salute, Liang Jiugong took the sword and handed it to Wei Tong.Just kidding, even though Wei Tong needs to kneel according to the etiquette, he has never kneeled before the emperor, how dare he kneel and accept it just a verbal instruction to Liang Jiugong.

After Wei Tong put the sword on his waist, Liang Jiugong left with a smile.Nalan Mingzhu, who was watching from the side the whole time, didn't say a word, but the expression in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Wei Tong held the sword in his hand, and just by looking at it, he knew it was indeed a good sword.It's just that Kangxi chose this moment to come here...on purpose.Hanging the sword on his waist casually, Wei Tong turned to look at Mingxiang and said apologetically, "I've been waiting for a long time, Mingxiang."

Nalan Mingzhu said with a smile: "Master Wei said this, it is a gift from the emperor, how can you be tired." The words were so tight that Wei Tong didn't care about it. Looking at his appearance, the next journey should be Much easier.

Sure enough, Mingxiang didn't say anything until they left the palace gate. No matter what Nalan Mingzhu came to him for today, it's definitely not a good thing to watch his opening remarks, so Wei Tong didn't intend to bother. Listen, turned around and got into the carriage of Wei Mansion, leaving everything behind.

And when Wei Tong returned to Wei Mansion, besides the little baby, there was also a big baby waiting for him.Wei Tong looked at Wei Ning who was hugging Xiao Ke with a face full of surprise. Things didn't look good.

……

Not only is it not good, Wei Tong has never seen Wei Ning so excited.It wasn't until half an hour later, when the last woman stopped sobbing, that Wei Tong hurriedly signaled Chen Chun to take someone to wash up. If Wei Ning recovered his mood, he would be extremely shy when he thought of her embarrassed appearance.Chen Chun tried several times to appease Wei Ning in this short half hour but failed. Seeing that Wei Ning was crying so weakly, he was very distressed, and quickly followed Wei Tong's wishes to help her go to the inner room.

Sitting next to her, Xiao Ke snapped her fingers and said timidly, "It's all Xiao Ke's fault. It's fine if I don't tell her when Auntie asks." His voice was low, and he looked very frustrated.Wei Tong touched his little head, and said softly: "What you did is not wrong." He did write to Wei Ning, but it doesn't mean that Wei Ning is not worried about him, not to mention that the wind outside is tight during this time, There was not even a good word about Wei Tong, so Wei Ning couldn't feel at ease at all.

Wei Tong rubbed his eyebrows and cheered up.Fortunately, Kangxi specially asked him to take a vacation these two days to have a good rest, otherwise Wei Ning would not be able to meet him, and I am afraid that he would be even more worried.

When Wei Ning redressed and came out, with a faint blush on his face, he looked as timid as Xiao Ke just now, "Brother, my sister lost control of her emotions just now, and I was so tired that my brother was wronged by my sister. I really feel guilty." Inside, Chen Chun educated Wei Ning for a long time.What Chen Chun said was right, Wei Tong must be under more pressure outside, how could she make things difficult for her brother, and instead make him feel even more uncomfortable?

Wei Tong shook his head, he was not angry, and tried to persuade him a few words. When Wei Ning really calmed down, Wei Ning had no face to stay anyway, and was too ashamed to agree to Wei Tong's opinion of staying overnight and returned to the Chen Mansion.

Seeing off Wei Ning, Wei Tong looked at the little boy who was hugging his calf tightly, and said helplessly, "Are you going to keep doing this?" Xiao Ke's small body was tightly wrapped around Wei Tong, and the child smiled sweetly and happily , "No, Tongtong will definitely not let Xiao Ke fall."

Not to mention, even such a small one is quite heavy after being carried for a long time.

Wei Tong picked him up and carried him on his back, and took him to dinner.In the evening, I taught the child to recognize a few words, and then the two of them packed up and went to bed.

Half asleep and half awake, Wei Tong only felt tightness in his chest, as if he was pressed by a heavy object, extremely dull.But there was the childish laughter and the man's deep words in his ears. He struggled to open his eyes, looked at the familiar bed curtain above his head, and turned his head to see Kangxi who was sitting beside him and looking at him. Shi Zheng hugged Xiao Ke with one hand, and took Xiao Ke off him.

Wei Tong turned over and hugged the child, touched his slippery body twice, and said helplessly, "You almost crushed me to death."

Xiao Ke kicked his calf, turned over and climbed onto Kangxi's lap, found a seat for himself and sat down comfortably, then patted Kangxi's right side, and said softly, "Tongtong, come here quickly."

Wei Tong buried his face in the pillow, not intending to get up, only heard Xiao Ke whispering to Kangxi, "Xuan Xuan, Tong Tong promised Xiao Ke to accompany you."

"Really?" Kangxi's big hand held Xiao Ke's small hand, and the tender white hand curled up into a small ball in the palm, which was in sharp contrast.The child shrunk his body, trying to get deeper into Kangxi's arms, then raised his head and said joyfully, "Of course." The proud little appearance made Kangxi smile.

"It turns out that Xiao Ke is so happy to be with me." Kangxi smiled slightly, pinching Xiao Ke's belly.Xiao Ke graciously let Kangxi pinch him, rubbed his face fondly, buried his face in Kangxi's arms, and murmured: "Of course." His voice was a bit dull because of his posture, but his happy breath suddenly revealed .

Wei Tong dimly listened to the whispers between the two of them, chatting about little secrets, and the gentle comfort of his palms, and fell into sleep little by little.

Twenty years after Kangxi, due to the problems exposed by the Eight Banners in San Francisco, Kangxi decided to restart Mulan Qiuxi.In August of the 20st year of Kangxi, Wei Tong asked for a leave of absence from autumn, and the emperor came to see his son lively, happy with him, and wanted to accept him as his son.Although the ministers remonstrated and still did not change their intentions, in October of the 21st year of Kangxi, he was finally accepted as a foster son.Although not in the ranking, the emperor has not had a newborn prince for several years, and everyone in the world knows him as the twelve princes.
