every spring [comprehensive]

After returning to the palace, Kangxi and Jianning went to Yuqing Palace to wait for the news because there were many people in Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi said: "There are too many people serving in the Qianqing Palace. I often just sneezed, and other interested people in the palace would know. The place where the emperor lives is not as tight as yours. It seems that I should also rectify it." gone."

Jian Ning said: "It's not because the emperor's elder brother, Sheng Jun, is magnanimous. For example, eunuchs like Huang Tingjing, we know that he is not tight-lipped and dare to pass on news to others, but the emperor's elder brother still cares that he is the old man of the former empress. I definitely won't keep him, just because I don't have the same mind as you."

Kangxi said: "At that time, there was no way to keep him. It was not because I was fledgling when I was young. Even if I got rid of him, someone else would come. You reminded me. Now I can free up my hand and let Su Ma went to rectify and rectify."

While the two were talking, Wei Dongting trotted into the Yuqing Palace, and he looked behind furtively to see if anyone was following.

Kangxi laughed and said, "Little Weizi, you haven't been discovered, have you? Did you get the thing?"

Wei Dongting came over to say hello to the two, took out a white jade box from his arms and presented it, and said, "Forgive me, master, this slave is not very skilled in doing this kind of thing for the first time, I just took advantage of Eunuch Gui's time alone. I knocked him out and snatched it, so I can be sure that no one found it."

Jianning took the jade box and put it on the table. He opened the lid and found a thin book inside. The letter was made of yellow silk with red silk borders. It could be seen that the book was very old.

Jianning casually picked it up and flipped through a few pages. Kangxi looked at her hand and said, "I think this book is just an ordinary Buddhist scripture. When you have read enough, you should give it to Xiao Guizi and let him read it." Send it to the Queen Mother."

Jianning dismissed the crowd, and when there were only the two of them left in the hall, he said to Kangxi: "Brother Emperor, the Empress Dowager only said she wanted this Buddhist scripture, so she must have not told you about it, but I heard some rumors, It is said that this book is more than just a book.”

Kangxi was surprised: "Is there any secret in it?"

Jianning raised his voice and said to the outside: "Auntie Sun please come in!"

After finishing speaking, a woman in palace costume walked in, Jianning's nanny Kangxi was naturally very familiar with her.

Jianning said, "Nurse Sun, you are an old man in the palace, have you ever heard of the legend of 42 chapters?"

Grandma Sun also saw the jade box engraved with large characters in Jianning's hand, so she knew where the question came from, and said truthfully: "Back to Gege, I have indeed heard these 42 chapters, but it's not because the slave is in the palace. It’s been a long time since I heard about it, but it’s because my husband knows some punches, and I’ve heard such rumors in the Jianghu.” Since she can be a nanny, she’s naturally married. Mammy, you can also go home for reunion when you have holidays.

Kangxi likes some unofficial history myths the most. Hearing what Grandma Sun said, he was immediately very interested, and said, "What are the rumors? Nanny Sun, just tell me the truth and let me listen."

Grandma Sun said: "My maidservant also heard the rumors. I don't know if it is true. According to the rumors in the world, the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty are hidden in the forty chapters, and there is also a huge treasure."

Kangxi sat up straight: "Is there really such a rumor? Why have I never heard of it? If it is true, the implications will be serious! If you have any other specific explanations, you can just say it."

Grandma Sun said: "I don't know anything else about this servant, I just heard a few sentences like this, but this servant has been in the palace for so long, and I have never heard of 42 chapters."

Kangxi saw that her knowledge was limited, and she didn't intend to conceal it, but just a little, it was enough for him to pay attention, if it was just a rumor, it would be fine, if it was true, there was such a rumor in the world, that is There is such a rumor among the people.

He waved his hand and said, "Go down first, and don't tell anyone about today's affairs."

After Sun Nanny went out, there were only two of them left in the hall.

Kangxi asked: "Don't you believe what Nanny Sun said, no wonder the scriptures sent to the Palace of Compassion and Ning are cut off."

Jianning nodded and said, "I'd rather believe it."

Kangxi flipped the book in his hands, looked at it carefully, and put it under the candlelight to illuminate it, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Jianning said: "Although it is a rumor in the world, it may not be groundless. Not to mention that the matter of the dragon's veins sounds a bit illusory, as long as the treasure is real, wouldn't it be fun! So I think, let's study this scripture carefully." , maybe you can really see something strange."

Kangxi said: "It seems that this so-called treasure has aroused your interest. There is only one copy of this scripture, and it is already here. No matter whether it is roasted by fire or soaked in water or has any coded text, as long as you toss it for a few more days, it will not be lost. Nothing."

Jian Ning thought, Xuan Ye is really smart, and the scriptures are in his hands, the secret should not be kept for long before they will be discovered, but she hopes that he will find out soon, so that he can be interested in collecting the others.

Jian Ning said: "Brother Emperor, why don't you spend a little time in your spare time. If there is a real treasure dug out, I will be satisfied with a little bit of it."

Kangxi thought more, he frowned and said, "Do you think the Queen Mother really wants to read the Buddhist scriptures, or did she just hear this rumor? Since it is a rumor in the world, how could she, a woman in the palace, know about this matter?" Even the emperor's grandmother didn't mention a word. Besides, how did the Queen Mother know that there will be a book in Oboi's mansion?"

As the Son of Heaven, he is rich all over the world, so he doesn't care about treasures, he cares about the so-called dragon veins.

Jianning said: "I can't guess this, and it's hard to say. However, the scriptures that were supposed to be delivered to her were intercepted by us halfway. You only need to see if she is calm or furious, and you will know if she is really very serious." Value this book. Definitely get it."

Kangxi said: "Yes, we can see how the queen mother reacts." Kangxi smiled and said: "It's just that Xiao Guizi is more unlucky, and he must be blamed for his ineffectiveness."

Kangxi flipped through the Buddhist scriptures for a while, and then checked the letters outside the book. He always felt that there was an inevitable connection between this book and Oboi. Otherwise, how would the Empress Dowager know which mansion the book was in?

Normally, if he has this confusion, he can directly ask the Queen Mother. The nominal mother and son usually have a good relationship, at least Kangxi unilaterally thought so before, but today he and Jianning robbed the things that should have been given to the Queen Mother. I felt guilty and didn't want to ask.

Jianning looked at the yellow letters again and said: "I heard that the banner people have a sense of belonging to their own banner, let alone the banner owner's. It seems that even Oboi is not exempt, it's just a book cover It must also be specially made in a yellow color.”

Inspired by her, Kangxi suddenly realized: "Yes, Oboi is the banner owner of the inlaid yellow flag, there should be more than one scripture in these 42 chapters, how can such a thin volume write the entire scripture. "

Although he does not believe in Buddhism, he also has a little understanding of Buddhist scriptures. "Buddha said 42 chapters" is one of the original Buddhist classics from Tianzhu. This so-called 42 chapters has at least 42 chapters. This book is in Chinese. He casually flipped through the contents and there were only five chapters.

Kangxi said: "If there is more than one copy, then every banner owner has one. Tomorrow, I will ask Prince Kang and they will know." Should know more.

Jianning said happily: "That's great, Brother Emperor, let's concentrate on seeing what's different about this book first. I really want to know what mechanism is in this small scripture book." , It would be even better if you can reveal this secret with your own hands."

Anyway, Kangxi said that he would give Jianning a day off today, so he didn't read any excerpts at all, and concentrated on understanding the secrets of this scripture. He read the entire 42 chapters of the scripture with yellow flags, and found nothing unusual, and then read the scriptures separately. The scriptures were roasted on the fire and soaked in water. After several experiments, I finally found something unusual in the interlayer of the book cover!

When it was poured out, it was a few pieces of shredded sheepskin, and when put together, it was one corner of a map!

Jianning opened his eyes wide and excitedly said, "This is a treasure map! It seems that there is really a treasure!"

Kangxi struggled for a long time to find out the secret of the so-called scriptures, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment. He looked at the map and said, "Sure enough, as I guessed, according to this size, this old sheepskin map is only eight. One-tenth the size, to see the complete map, you need to collect all the scriptures."

His eyes shone brightly, "If these shredded sheepskins are really scattered in the hands of the Eight Banners, wouldn't it be too easy for me to collect them all? Why didn't Huang Ama do it back then?"

Jianning said: "Since the sixth uncle is also one of the banner owners, the emperor's brother may ask him tomorrow, and maybe he can clear up the confusion."

Xiao Guizi grew up as a child, but today she was unlucky enough to be robbed and lost what the emperor and the queen mother wanted. What bad luck!Even if he still had a dull pain where he was beaten, he had to return to the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Originally, he thought that when the emperor was free, he begged the emperor to go with him, maybe he could be punished lightly, but when the queen mother heard the news that Xiao Guizi had returned to the palace, she had sent people to pass it on several times, so he didn't want to hide. I can't hide, so I can only bite the bullet and pass by.

Xiao Guizi has always thought that the image of the Queen Mother is a very elegant lady, unfortunately today he saw the time when the elegance was broken.

The queen mother's eyes almost burst into flames: "What did you say, do you dare to say it again?"

Xiao Guizi had no choice but to explain in a low voice tremblingly: "I had already got the scriptures, but who would have thought that on the way back, I would meet Jiang Yang's thieves, who seemed to know that I was carrying treasures. The servant dealt with him hundreds of times, and almost lost his life." Life is in danger, and the scriptures were finally snatched away."

All the ducks flew away, the queen mother was very angry, she was already angry, she looked Xiao Guizi up and down and said: "Why didn't I see any damage on your slave, if you dare to lie to me, believe it or not, I will kill you Ling Chi executed!"

As soon as Xiao Guizi heard about Ling Chi's execution, he was scared. He heard that it was very easy for the people in the palace to kill anyone. As long as he ordered a word, he would not even want to see the sun tomorrow.

Xiao Guizi was frightened, so he was very capable of making things up. He kept saying something, which made the queen mother confused, and couldn't tell which force came to intercept it.

Xiao Guizi said a lot of good things to the Queen Mother again, and the Queen Mother finally let go of his killing intent: "Okay, I will keep you as a slave for now, but you must find me the lost scriptures!"

"Yes, yes, I have gone through all kinds of troubles, and I want to get the scriptures back to the Queen Mother!" Xiao Guizi swore again, and the Queen Mother put him back.

After he left, the Empress Dowager lost her temper severely. The next day, Kangxi only needed to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the list of utensils replaced by the Compassionate Palace to know what was going on that night.

After the Queen Mother had lost her temper, Caifeng poked her head out from the room: "Queen Mother, what made you so angry? Is it the little eunuch just now? I think he is quite eloquent! He seems very interesting."

The fake queen mother was still angry and said: "These are none of your business, you just need to be your princess!"
