When the Louvre meets the Forbidden City

Emperor Kangxi understood that Wei Xiaobao didn't have enough ink in his belly, so he couldn't say anything clever and decent, so he didn't mind too much about his slightly presumptuous words of comfort.

Stretching his body and leaning into the large dragon chair, he rubbed his forehead and said, "What you said makes sense. In my heart, this battle must be won!"

It's just because he couldn't win, since he ordered the withdrawal of the feudal clan, he has no way out!

Those princes and ministers can still transport their family members to the south to avoid disaster. If it is not possible, they can also surrender after Wu Sangui invades the capital. Forgive Wu Sangui for not killing all the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

Not only can’t they kill them all, but in order to appease people’s hearts and stabilize the situation, [-]% of them have to keep these former officials. Those who are bachelors will continue to be bachelors, and those who are ministers will continue to be ministers. Only he, the emperor, cannot stay in office.

So for him, this battle must be won!

"Xiao Guizi, although your words are crude and blunt, you can always get to the point, which pleases me." Stretching and standing up, "help me undress."

"Oh, I'm going to call Manager Liu."

Kangxi squinted at him, "What kind of method do you want to 'step by step'? Is it possible that you are going to do nothing and just stand in front of me every day, so that the more I look at you, the more I like you? , and then it will be done?"

After carefully looking at Wei Xiaobao for a few times, he scolded him lightly, "It's crazy, look in the mirror yourself, you still look like a little rascal, don't you see that you have cleaned yourself up a little more handsomely?" Shaking his head dissatisfied, "The clothes are all wrinkled Damn."

Wei Xiaobao didn't quite understand why Kangxi kept holding on to his phrase 'step by step' and refused to let it go. He wondered if he had used the wrong word again, and secretly thought that he must remember to ask Duolong for advice tomorrow.

He explained, "I wanted to change my clothes today, but after taking a bath at home, I found out that the girl who helped me take care of my clothes was called by the lady to talk. I don't want to disturb them, so I came here without changing my clothes." .”

Kangxi frowned, "Then there's no need to bother you. You came here wearing dirty clothes!"

Very disgusted, immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Come on!"

Liu Jinzhong walked in with his hands down, "Your Majesty?"

"Call someone to come in and wash up. I'm going to sleep. Also, find someone to take Wei Dutong to take a bath, and then change his clothes."

Liu Jinzhong groaned secretly, saying that he had been worried for a long time this morning, and he was afraid that something difficult to deal with would happen, but fortunately it was a false alarm.Why is it here again tonight!He also asked Wei Dutong to take a shower and change clothes, and it was obvious that he was going to stay overnight again!

Recite the Buddha directly in my heart, secretly saying that the Bodhisattva will bless me, and the emperor will just stay in Wei Dutong to talk tonight, nothing else.

It's a pity that the request came a bit late, and the Bodhisattva probably didn't hear it, or didn't respond in time.

Kangxi continued to instruct him, "Wei Dutong often comes to the palace to accompany me at night recently, and you said to the outside world that he has obtained the grace of my special permission to rest in the side hall. Take good care of the slaves in the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Mouth, no one is allowed to go out and spread nonsense." Having said this, his face sank, and he said solemnly, "If I hear any gossip outside, I will cut off their tongues, and then chop off your head!"

After hearing such a blunt warning, Liu Jinzhong had no choice but to give up, knowing that his worries had come true, and it was inevitable that he would take the responsibility to cover up a private matter for the emperor. How did you do it?"

Kangxi said again, "Remember to prepare some clothes for Wei Dutong tomorrow, and put them here to replace them, and pay the money from Gong Zhongzhen's expenses. This kid has been very scared lately, because he was afraid of disturbing his wife, so he went back. The family doesn't even dare to change their clothes, so let's go to the palace to change."

Liu Jinzhong didn't dare to laugh after hearing Kangxi's teasing of Wei Dutong, he already knew what the emperor meant.

He knew it in his mind, and Wei Xiaobao also 'understood' it.

Kangxi wants to lie down with him at night, talk and relax, but he is afraid that if the situation is spread, someone will take the opportunity to spread rumors and slander and tarnish the emperor's reputation, so let Liu Jinzhong cover it up, and don't let outsiders know about it. What rumors are easy to spread.

Kangxi's worries are easy to understand. Rumors are always unpredictable and annoying.

I think he just cared more for his stepdaughter back then, and was rumored by many dirty-minded people that he had an abnormal relationship with her stepdaughter, although as time went by, it finally proved that the relationship between him and Josephine's daughter There is only a pure father-daughter relationship, but the process is indeed very unpleasant.

Therefore, it is very necessary for Kangxi to prevent rumors in advance.It’s just too harsh, and they threatened to cut off the tongues and heads of the maids and eunuchs for this kind of thing. Listen to that, if the news is leaked, these people’s tongues and heads will really be cut off. It’s too cruel, no As for!

He is not afraid of killing people, but he doesn't like cruel behaviors.

However, Wei Xiaobao was very grateful for Kangxi's meticulous way of asking people to prepare clothes for him. It seemed that this friend of the emperor was usually aloof, and he was not very polite when speaking to him, but he still cared about their friendship and took great care of him.

He was taken to take a bath again, and changed into clean clothes that were no longer wrinkled. When he came back to the dormitory, he saw that Kangxi was already in bed like yesterday, but he hadn't slept yet. The surrounding candles were very bright. Heaps of files are looking at.

Wei Xiaobao's evaluation of Kangxi has improved a bit, besides self-confidence and composure, this young emperor is also very diligent.And hardworking people are always respected.He himself is a person who regards hard work as his life.

"Your Majesty is very diligent. The people under the sun and the high and small officials in the court should all be thankful that they have a diligent king." Wei Xiaobao praised him from the perspective of an elder in his heart.

Kangxi raised his head and smiled, "It's nice of you to say it again. People and courtiers don't need to rejoice. I am the master of the world, and it is my duty to be diligent in government affairs."

He ordered the little eunuch to come over and take the file away, "I don't want to read it, I can't stay awake for twelve hours a day."

He waved to Wei Xiaobao, "Come on, tell me how you want to proceed step by step?" He lay down comfortably first, and now he doesn't expect Wei Xiaobao to make a flower out of this matter, just treat it as a sleeper. Let me talk about the previous fun, let myself not be full of Wu Ni, Geng Fan, Shaanxi rebels from morning to night... thinking too much will inevitably cause headaches.

Wei Xiaobao frowned quietly, a little impatient, why this is endless, and he is still asking him to 'step by step'.

After the little eunuch packed up his things and left, he also went to lie down, "Your Majesty, this is an extraordinary period, we must persevere and not relax. The capital must be stabilized first, and people's hearts must not be disturbed. Today I heard that there are several people who are originally from the south. Officials are secretly sending family members back to their hometowns, gold, silver, jewelry, and delicates are being transported away in carts, this is not possible..."

Kangxi was so annoyed that he kicked him under the quilt, "You're not finished, I think I've been thinking about these things all day, and I just hope that I can relax at night, and you still chased me to the bed and told me this!"

Wei Xiaobao was very wronged, obviously you were the one who never stopped, you insisted on grabbing me and asking how to 'step by step'.I am now a lowly official and young, firstly I can’t go to the Palace of Qianqing to discuss politics with me, and secondly I can’t lead troops to fight on the front line, I have to speak out my opinion first, and you don’t like to listen to it, so what should I do?

Looking sideways, Kangxi's young face was full of impatience by the soft candlelight that was not extinguished in the dormitory.Kangxi was calm and calm, he was always composed in front of the officials, he would not show his emotions so obviously, only when facing Wei Xiaobao, a little courtier who had fought with him since he was a child, he would show his true colors.

Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to show the identity and patience of the elder in his heart again, and patted Kangxi on the shoulder, "Go to sleep if you don't want to listen."

Kangxi closed his eyes according to his words, thinking that he knew you were bragging, you have to 'step by step'!Until now, I haven't seen you "successively" come up with any tricks.

It is estimated that if this guy is not bragging, he is getting cold feet.I'm afraid it was because of the Tiandihui incident that happened to him a while ago, and he bombarded Wei Xiaobao's house mercilessly, which frightened him, so he racked his brains to come up with a novel way to please him and show his loyalty.

Turning over with a faint smile, she decided not to argue with him too much, and just let him go.

In fact, Wei Xiaobao needn't be so nervous, he insisted on finding some extraordinary means to please him.He didn't know that in his heart, his position was very different.

Wei Xiaobao has made many contributions, and even risked his life to save him several times, two times when the situation was critical, Wei Xiaobao always hugged Kangxi and used his vest to block the sharp knife of the assassin.

Kangxi was a sensible person, and he knew that when the king was in trouble, the courtiers should give up their lives to save him. This seems to be a matter of course, but how many people can actually do it?So Kangxi always kept this affection in his heart, as long as Wei Xiaobao didn't commit any serious crimes of deceiving the emperor and treason again, he could always treat Wei Xiaobao as a favored minister in the court, and a high-ranking official would support him with a generous salary.Turn a blind eye to his money-grubbing nonsense.

He sighed and turned over again, but this kid was worried, always wanted to please himself, held back his energy and thought of an ingenious method, but he couldn't do it when he came to him, and slept on his dragon bed for two nights for no reason, It's a joke to say it.

Wei Wei opened his eyes, and found that he and Wei Xiaobao were sleeping face to face, a little uncomfortable, so he turned over again, facing the top of the bed, now this critical moment full of dangers, every day his heart hangs in his throat, every night there is such a It's actually good for a loyal kid who doesn't understand anything to come and make jokes, and ask him to come tomorrow.

Lying on his back was uncomfortable, and he turned over again.

Wei Xiaobao beside him was so disturbed that he couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, why don't you sleep, you have to wake up very early tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is not a big dynasty, so it doesn't matter if it is late."

"Your Majesty is young, you should be diligent in doing things, don't relax yourself casually, it's better not to be late, Your Majesty, please go to bed earlier."

Kangxi was taken aback, he was very diligent, most people would only advise him to rest more and not to work too hard, especially the empress dowager, the empress, several close officials of the emperor, all of them were very concerned about him, and they were afraid that he would be tired.

How could Xiao Guizi, a person who always followed her own words and always complimented her, sing the opposite?

When others advised him to take a break, Kangxi didn't take it seriously, thinking that he should work hard, but suddenly someone said 'you can't be lazy', which didn't please his ears no matter how he heard it.

He scolded, "It doesn't matter if I say it doesn't matter, you still control me! It's really presumptuous."

Because he still remembered to ask Liu Jinzhong to prepare clothes for him just now, Wei Xiaobao didn't try his best to persuade this young friend to keep his good habit of being diligent.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I didn't mean to offend you, but I have experience. It is very important to work hard and not slack off. Only hard work can become..." He wanted to say that hard work is one of the elements of becoming a great man, But I don't know how to express the word 'great man' for a while.

"Why?" Kangxi asked.

"Turn into a person like Tori Sashimi Tang." Anxiously, he used a word that seemed to come out of his mind.

Kangxi laughed, "Bah, you are ignorant, Yao, Shun and Yu soup! Those are the four sages in ancient times, why are they still in bird raw fish soup! You should really study hard." He didn't listen to it for a long time. When Wei Xiaobao mentioned 'this bowl of soup', he sounded quite comfortable at this moment. "Okay, it's rare that a flatterer like you knows how to persuade me to work hard, so I'll go to bed early, and I won't be late tomorrow."

"The battle situation is chaotic now. If you think about it one step more and make more preparations, you will have a better chance of winning..."

Kangxi was impatient, "I know, it's up to you to say, hurry up and sleep!"

Wei Xiaobao sighed and closed his mouth.He was not angry when he found out that the little emperor spoke to him so rudely, he thought that he was really old, his temper was no longer as irritable as before, and he was able to patiently teach the young people.

Just now he really wanted to use his personal experience to talk to Kangxi about the importance of diligence. He has always been the most staunch supporter of the theory of success through diligence. Diligence is the most important factor for success.
