When the Louvre meets the Forbidden City

The Earl's Mansion before Wei Xiaobao was a thank you gift from Prince Kang Jieshu after he did a great favor to Prince Kang.

The great favor that Wei Xiaobao gave to Prince Kang was extraordinary, and Prince Kang hardly regarded it as a life-saving favor, so he prepared a thank you gift unambiguously, and tried his best to give Wei Xiaobao a decent Earl's Mansion, from furniture to furnishings. The cook, the driver, and the driver are all thoughtful and meticulous, and Wei Xiaobao is very satisfied with his stay.

Coincidentally, this time Kangxi handed over the task of rebuilding Wei Xiaobao's mansion to Prince Kang.

Prince Kang is the direct descendant of Daishan Dabeile. He inherited the king's title in the era, and he has a deep understanding of the way of being an official in the court. He has been paying attention to Wei Xiaobao, a close minister of Kangxi, and has been paying 12 yuan. Jiayi personally took care of the new house.

Since Kangxi said that he would pay Wei Xiaobao to build a new earl's mansion, then he naturally didn't need to save money for the emperor, so when he built it, he ordered people to follow the old mansion, and then refined and enlarged it, carved beams and painted buildings, Flowers, trees, mountains and rocks, the furnishings are more luxurious.

Wei Xiaobao himself is not good at everything from appreciation to structure of oriental architecture, and those details, so he has no special requirements for the new house, as long as his own study and living place are far away from the place where the female family members live in the backyard.

Prince Kang specially invited him to his home to drink and watch a play. He laughed out loud when he heard the saying that he should stay away from the female relatives, and joked, "Brother is still afraid of women? This is impossible, and you are not married. , the family is just some concubines, you can’t even control them, and Ming Media will marry and bring his wife into the house, what are you going to do?”

Wei Xiaobao shook his head again and again, "Brother has no plans to marry for the time being, the few in the family can't bear it anymore."

There was a big turmoil at home recently, except for Shuang'er, everyone glared at him and wanted to teach him a lesson, Wei Xiaobao had already made do with the guard's room in the palace for a few nights, and didn't dare to go home.

"Oh?" Prince Kang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that he was worrying very seriously, "What's the matter? It can't be brother. You spoil the women in your family so much that you can't distinguish between them. That's okay! What's more, you want to marry a woman. It’s up to Mrs. Zheng to take care of her at home. Brother is young and promising, smart and capable, and has a great reputation both inside and outside. He has never made a mistake in doing errands for the Holy One. How many women can be restrained? Brother, I have to remind you, to remind you, the reputation of fear is really bad, if it spreads out, people will make fun of it, you should clean up the inner house as soon as possible."

"It's not easy to rectify!" Wei Xiaobao's difficulty is really hard to describe.

The wives were all better than him in martial arts, and there were two pregnant women among them. It was impossible to use violence to solve the problem.He was in an extremely disadvantaged state where he couldn't fight back when he was beaten, and couldn't fight back when he was scolded.

In fact, at the beginning, the relationship between Wei Xiaobao and his wives was not so stiff, he found excuses to hide from his family members every day, although the women were very unhappy, they couldn't find any serious faults with him.

Originally, we could live in peace for a while, but Princess Jianning couldn't bear it at this time, and sent a letter with harsh words, scolding Wei Xiaobao for being unkind and unjust, asking him to quickly find a way to report to the emperor. If you still dare to perfunctory and shirk your marriage, don't blame this princess for being rude. At worst, the scandal will be exposed, and there will be a catastrophe. No one can think about it!

Wei Xiaobao was not at home when the letter was delivered, and his place was a temporary residence, and there were not enough people in charge, so the letter was directly handed over to the wives.

Mrs. Hong, Su Quan, has always been suspicious of Wei Xiaobao's behavior, thinking that he is not serious about wanting to live with women like herself for a long time. , quietly disassembled and watched together.

After looking at it, I suddenly realized that this little rascal was greedy for glory and wealth, and wanted to climb high and become a concubine to marry the princess.And that princess's words are so fierce and brutal, she is definitely not a person who can tolerate others, she will definitely not allow Wei Xiaobao to have wives and children around her before she is married, that's why Wei Xiaobao treats them so coldly, probably because she gave up They, or the idea of ​​hiding them all in the cold.

Su Quan was so angry that her brows stood on end, but the other women could say that, if it's really impossible, it's okay not to marry Wei Xiaobao.Only she and A Ke both have children, how can they not be angry when they are about to be abandoned by others?He began to roll up his sleeves and sneered, thinking that this heartless and slippery boy must suffer a lot!

And because of this, Wei Xiaobao finally saw the power of oriental women.The situation of returning home is like going deep into Moscow alone.Obviously he was the one with the advantage, but he suffered setbacks one after another in all directions.

He had always thought that these women were too cowardly and suppressed themselves too much.It's incredible that seeing a husband bring a bunch of women home at the same time without any complaints, all the women, sisters and sisters are having fun!Wouldn't they all be jealous?

Even if it is the king of France, except for the queen, any woman he finds can only be regarded as an underground mistress, and the son he gives birth to is also an illegitimate child.

Now Wei Xiaobao finally realizes that his understanding of the folk customs here is too one-sided. Apart from being able to bear sharing their husbands with others, these women are not weak at all in other aspects. They are really better than each other!

It's useless to talk about these things with Prince Kang, so I changed the subject, "My lord, I have one more thing to ask for your help today."

"Brother, just say what you want."

"There are several generals who have been following my brother. I would like to ask the prince to recommend them to the army that conquered Wu Sangui."

"Which ones are they?"

"General Zhao Liangdong, Deputy General Zhang Yong, Wang Jinbao..."

...............

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, in the evening.

Emperor Kangxi was still discussing with Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Tuhai, Mi Sihan and others.

Mingzhu said, "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui's rebel army is gaining momentum. This slave thinks that there is no time to rush. We need to stabilize our position first. Since he has already invaded Hunan, we should build fortifications in Hengyang. Don't rush forward to meet it."

University scholar Tuhai said angrily, "Then what about the large area south of Hengyang, which was handed over to Wu Sangui?"

Mingzhu said, "Of course it's not hand in hand, but the imperial court's current military strength is limited, and the admiral Wang Fuchen of Shaanxi rebelled again. Now we should put safety first. If every place is deadlocked, how can the imperial court send it?" How many soldiers are here?"

Tu Haidao, "Wu Sangui has already occupied Yunguichuan, and now he has to easily let him enter Hunan. Then what did he do when he withdrew the vassal and made him the king of Yunguichuan? Hunan can be preserved."

Mingzhu shook her head and retorted, "The Grand Scholar's words are wrong, they are out of temper. Although Wu Sangui is occupying Yunguichuan at this time, his name is not justified. Our defensive position is only temporary, and we will definitely take it back in the future."

Tu Hai was dissatisfied, and he had to say it again, but was stopped by Kangxi's wave, "Mingzhu said it is very reasonable to be safe, but Wu Ni can't be allowed to be so rampant. The current situation is very unstable, and it is impossible for the court to take care of everything. We always have to It’s only a matter of time. It’s been a tiring day today, so go back and rest, wait for me to think about it, and make a decision tomorrow.”

After ordering several people to kneel down, Kangxi himself went back to the bedroom and asked Liu Jinzhong, the chief eunuch accompanying him, "Send someone to see if Wei Dutong is still in the palace today?"

Liu Jinzhong went out to pass orders, and then came back with the little eunuchs to wait for Kangxi to wash and change clothes.

After a while, someone came back to report, "Returning to the emperor, Wei Dutong went to Prince Kang's mansion in the morning, and probably went back to his own home in the afternoon, and just now entered the palace again, and now he is in the guard's room with some improper It's worth chatting with the imperial guards."

Kangxi scoffed, "Go down." He said to Liu Jinzhong, "He is still relying on me, and he finds excuses to stay in the palace every day!"

Liu Jinzhong knew that His Majesty had received the news of Shaanxi Admiral Wang Fuchen's rebellion today, so he was afraid that he would not be in a good mood, so he didn't dare to talk indiscriminately when he said this.

Sure enough, I heard Kangxi continue with a bit of annoyance, "A worthless thing! Show him a clear path and not go, but he must follow a sideways path and do these things! Okay, I am annoyed at the moment, it is precisely When you can use him to flatter and relieve boredom, you go and call him!"
