When the Louvre meets the Forbidden City

Chapter 45 The Messy 78 Tangled

Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, and took charge at the age of 14. Although he was only in his early twenties, he had been the emperor for more than ten years.

You can't be too harsh or tolerant to your subjects. After reprimanding, you must appease them, and after rewarding them, you need to warn them. As the folk saying goes, "beat a stick and then give a sweet date!" '

This trick has been tried and tested. In the past two years, Kangxi has become more and more proficient in using it. He is proficient in it. Suddenly, he met a master who only wanted to eat sweet dates and refused to take the stick. level.

Wei Xiaobao was rude to him first, and lied that he was sick later. No matter what, it was the moment when Kangxi should be beaten with a stick. All he wanted was to give him sweet dates to appease him.

After glancing five or six times at the person who turned a blind eye to him, he heard Gao Shiqi beside him slightly surprised, "Hey, this article looks weird, who wrote it... how does the word look like Nalan?" Where is the son's handwriting?"

The space behind a desk is limited, Kangxi and Gao Shidu stood in the middle, accompanied by Prince Yu and Prince Gong on the left and right sides, the crowd was full, and the rest of the people could only scatter around and show respect.

When Nalan Xingde heard his name was mentioned, he leaned over to take a look, and then replied, "This is General Wei's masterpiece, he just read it out and I wrote it for me."

Gao Shiqi was puzzled, "General Wei also likes to write articles. How did this article do it... This is quite innovative. It's no wonder that he is a general and not a literati, but why doesn't he write it himself?"

Nalan Xingde smiled, and before he could answer, Kangxi interjected, "General Wei has done a good job, it's really innovative." To Gao Shiqi, "I think this is the only one I'd recommend."

Gao Shiqi often gave lectures in front of the imperial court. He knew that Kangxi was rigorous, and he was even more meticulous in his studies. He was very surprised to hear that he wanted to force such a big vernacular to be the first among many works with beautiful words. It's not that the imperial examination is just a matter of playing around in private at the courtier's house, and it shouldn't be so obviously partial!

After pondering for a while, he felt that if this matter was spread out later, Kangxi would not look good on his face and suspected of favoring his cronies, so he persuaded, "General Wei's article is novel, but the words are too straightforward. There are not many scriptures, if it is the first name, I am afraid..."

Prince Gong Chang Ning couldn't bear to be curious, stretched his neck to look, and caught a glimpse of some of General Wei's masterpieces:

.........

Do you want to inquire about Nightingale?

They used to use affectionate voices,

Bewitched you on that sunny day.

They cannot sustain life without love.

…………

Puchi laughed, "Sure enough, this is indeed General Wei's style!"

Kangxi rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you laughing! I think the writing is pretty good! It's better than those."

Chang Ning felt that Kangxi was talking nonsense with his eyes open, so he covered his mouth with his fists and coughed, "It's good if you say yes, and I didn't say no, it's just that it's relatively rare for him to make such an article. It's a bit strange. Since you like it, how about Let General Wei come over and watch together."

Kangxi has been waiting for someone to say this since he saw Wei Xiaobao, but it is a pity that the people around him are usually very smart, but at this moment, there is no long look, no one thought that they should call Wei Xiaobao to His Majesty come over.

Finally, Chang Ning happened to mention that Kangxi had a flat face, pretending to be careless, and immediately agreed indifferently, "Alright, let General Wei come over."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes and read the next article carefully. He read every word very seriously. After reading for a long time, he was almost finished reading a long article, and then he heard Wei Xiaobao coming over.

Seeing that Kangxi refused to raise his head, Fuquan thought that he had discovered another excellent work by a talented man, and was looking into it, so he said to Wei Xiaobao first, "General Wei, come here quickly. Your Majesty is going out of the palace today, so there is no need to be polite."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself that I didn't think of being polite at first, to be honest, he is still angry when he sees Kangxi now, if it weren't for the prince here, there are more ministers, and he wouldn't come here if he couldn't let the little emperor down in public.

Nodding to Fuquan and Duolong, he walked to Kangxi's side, directly ignoring Prince Gong whom he never liked and Gao Shiqi whom he didn't know very well.

Chang Ning's eyes were almost glued to the beauty in men's clothing beside Wei Xiaobao, so it was very rare that he didn't care about his rudeness.

Gao Shiqi didn't have the position to care about it. General Wei was a first-rank officer, and he was already higher than him. He was supposed to greet him. He just looked at the scar on Wei Xiaobao's mouth and sighed. He is a young man with too much temperament. He was too violent and irritable, and he was a first-rank military general in the dynasty, and he would fight with people like a street gangster. The scar on his face was obviously left when he was fighting with others.It seems that I often see young people with injuries on their faces recently.Alas, my Qing Dynasty started with martial arts and won the world immediately. They don't forget their roots, and it's a good thing to practice martial arts frequently, but it's still unsightly to always have scars on their faces.

Shaking my head, I kept thinking in my heart again, I seem to have just seen a young man with a bright face, who is that young man, why can't I remember it all of a sudden?

Gao Shiqi, as the secretary of the cabinet, often has to explain to His Majesty. He is knowledgeable and has a very good brain. He can't remember anything for a while. Isn't it the one next to me!

Looking sideways at Kangxi quietly, I saw that he was concentrating on the two pages of paper in his hand, as if there were flowers on them, looking very seriously, and there was a very conspicuous bruise on the cheekbone on the side face.

After Gao Shiqi took a look, he suddenly became suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence that both of them had scars on their faces at the same time?

Gao Shiqi thought so, and several people watching had the same thought in their hearts, only Prince Yu Fuquan secretly disagreed, Xin Dao His Majesty was too conniving with this man, and he had to find an opportunity to persuade him later.

Kangxi waited for Wei Xiaobao to stand beside him for a while, then raised his head unhurriedly, and dusted the things in his hands, "This article is not bad, but it's not as innovative as yours, you..."

Just as he was about to say casual compliments as sweet dates, he inadvertently saw the face of the person next to Wei Xiaobao, and choked back his words in astonishment.

Looking at it from a distance, he thought that the person talking with Wei Xiaobao was a good-looking and handsome scholar, but when he got closer, he realized that this was a woman, and a rare beautiful woman.

Kangxi has countless beauties in the harem, and if he can say that she is a rare beautiful woman, then she is really beautiful.

The woman was dignified and generous, seeing Kangxi's stunned expression, she even smiled at Kangxi, her eyes were infinitely charming and touching.

Kangxi was not confused by her smile, turned to Wei Xiaobao, "Who is she?"

"She is my wife."

"You brought your wife with you when you went out? How decent is it for her to come out as a woman!"

Wei Xiaobao couldn't say in public that Su Quan was here to protect him personally, so he could only say, "My wife is lively, literate, and likes to be lively. I think she is always bored at home, so I brought her here today."

As soon as this remark came out, several people around him shook their heads secretly, thinking that this kid was born as a rogue in the market, he knew nothing about etiquette, and all his words and deeds were incompatible with his current noble status.

Kangxi suddenly remembered that Wei Xiaobao had never formally married a wife, and his family had no first-rank orders. These women could only be regarded as concubines. How dare they bring a concubine to the emperor? very.

Looking at Su Quan's charming face, he became more and more displeased, but at this important moment when he was preparing to eat sweet dates for others, he couldn't bear it, just pretended that he hadn't seen it, and then said, "Gao Shiqi said Your article is very innovative, it can be called a leader, I also think it is good..."

Gao Shiqi was very wronged when he heard it, and thought to himself that you just opened your mouth, when did I say that General Wei's article is outstanding?Since he wanted Mr. Nalan to write for him, he might not even be able to write well. If someone spread the word that I praised such a person's literary talents, then he would have to be scolded and flattered by all the scholars. Flatter!
