Chapter 22 Emperor Kangxi, are you still holy?

On August 13, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Oboi's third anniversary is coming.

The 19-year-old Mama-faced Emperor Xuanye still remembered that he was the one who eliminated the arrogant power of Aobai in May of the eighth year of Kangxi, so that he could hold the power firmly in his hands. However, he always felt that he should be a benevolent king, so after arresting Aobai, he did not punish him with the ruthless minister. Instead, he tortured this rebel minister for almost three months before he allowed him to be admitted to Aobai in prison for illness on the Mid-Autumn Festival... so he could reunite with his dead family!

What a great emperor's grace!

This was done beautifully. Not only did it be called benevolence and righteousness, but it also gave Obai a decent attitude, and at the same time it made a rant. At the same time, it shocked Wu Sangui. Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, these three little girls, no, they were a big fucking! Let them not have any unpleasant intentions and cooperate honestly to reduce the vassal states! In this way, they might be able to forgive the three of them... and end up well soon!

But today, Kangxi was sitting in the southern study room of the Ganqing Palace. He was waiting in the southern study room where Oboi was arrested. Xiong Cilu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but suddenly he remembered the unforgivable and treacherous Aoboi.

Although Oboi was so bad that his family was, he still had a strong deterrence to the Three Feudal Franchise and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. When he was there, the Third Prince Zhu, the Third Grandson of Zhu, etc. would not have made such a big fuss, and there would not be any descendants of Zhuge Liang to protect the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson of Zhu!

Moreover, the powerful traitor, Oboi, can definitely figure out what is really powerful, the third prince Zhu, the third grandson of Zhu, or Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixin, Shang Shuying and his family are in Guangdong to protect themselves!

It turns out that the titles and memorials presented by Shang Shuying and Deng Guangming, as well as the civil and military officials of Chaozhou Prefecture, such as Wang Deping, Liu Jinzhong, Xue Zhang, Fengmingshan, etc., have been jointly or separately published. Now they have arrived in Beijing and are all placed on the desk of Emperor Kangxi. This is really a lot of titles and memorials!

The reason why there are a lot of things is that the third prince Zhu, who appeared in Chaozhou, Guangdong this time, was very unusual. It was not like a sudden start, but a repeated struggle, and the matter became bigger and bigger, and it was developing rapidly.

From capturing one of Zhu San's grandsons alive at the beginning, to the later being robbed by his accomplices, to the later Prince Zhu San's grandson, Zhu San's grandson, and Zhuge's military advisors made a big fuss in Jieyang County, and also defeated the flag soldiers of the Xushun Gong Mansion in Guiyu City with an empty city plan... Although Deng Guangming finally trapped Prince Zhu San and Zhu San's grandson in Guiyu Capital after a hard battle, the flag soldiers of the Xushun Gong Mansion also suffered heavy losses, with more than 200 casualties!

This is a flag soldier!

He actually lost so much in one battle. What does this mean? This time, the third prince Zhu, who appeared in Chaozhou, had an amazing combat effectiveness... If it weren't for the old monk Shang Shuying and Nake's husband who were making trouble and falsely reported the losses!

Another thing that Emperor Kangxi couldn't understand was of course what happened to Zhuge Liang's descendants?

It’s Zhuge’s Divine Thunder again, and it’s a secret empty city plan... It seems that there are none of these things in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! Could it be that I missed it if I didn’t read the book carefully?

In order to figure it out, Emperor Kangxi didn't even read the sign last night, but instead saw it from the beginning with the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He didn't miss a single word, but he still didn't find any Zhuge Divine Thunder or the secret plan of empty city.

However, Emperor Kangxi still did not give up. Today, he simply asked the guards to inform Xiong Cilu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to stop talking about the Four Books and Five Classics, and to change to the Three Kingdoms... This made Xiong Cilu very anxious!

No!

The artist who is a storyteller in Dashilan talks about the Three Kingdoms. He is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a second-rank official. How could he say the Three Kingdoms? It is too late to go to Dashilan to learn from his masters immediately!

But the king's order is difficult! If the emperor wants to listen to the Three Kingdoms, Xiong Cilu has to talk about the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, he also knows that Emperor Kangxi was a young hero and would not listen to the Three Kingdoms for no reason. If he wants to listen to the Three Kingdoms, it must be related to military and national affairs. As a "Hanlin Academy Storyteller", Xiong Cilu has to talk carefully and try hard to let the young hero get some principles for governing the country from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

So Xiong Cilu had to bite the bullet and bring a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and went to the Nan Study where Emperor Kangxi was.

When he arrived, he found that Tuhai, Jinbatai, Soetu, Li Feng, Wenhua Hall, and Feng Pu had already gathered in Nan Study, standing there with his hands and shoulders down.

What does this mean? Xiong Cilu thought: "So many people listen to me about the Three Kingdoms together? If I don't say it well, they won't laugh at me, right?"

Xiong Cilu was unsure, but she could not let go of the etiquette that should be given. After entering Nanshu, she first knelt down respectfully, then put the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" she brought with her and kowtowed to Emperor Kangxi.

After finishing the bowing, I heard Emperor Kangxi say "Flat" before picking up the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and getting up from the ground.

"Xionglu," Emperor Kangxi spoke seriously at this time, "I want to test you."

Xiong Cilu said: "Please ask your majesty to give a question."

"In the 95th chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Hou set up an empty city plan to deal with Sima Yi's army. If Sima Yi ignored it and rushed in with his head covered, what would happen?"

"No," Xiong Cilu smiled, "Zhuge Liang is sure that Sima Yi is suspicious and will definitely be deceived."

"I mean if, if Sima Yi is not deceived, will Zhuge Liang have any tricks?"

"This..." Xiong Cilu was stunned.

However, his mind was still very active. Looking around, he found that there were six Grand Secretarys present, and everyone had serious expressions, unlike joking or listening to stories.

This shows that now...is a discussion of national affairs?

"Emperor," Xiong Cilu immediately changed into a serious expression (the attitude must be correct first), "I think Zhuge Kongming must have a last resort."

He really thought so - Zhuge Kongming must have prepared himself for a quick horse!

If Sima Yi did not retreat, Kong Ming would definitely get out of here!

"Oh," Emperor Kangxi asked again, "So you think the empty city plan written in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is incomplete, and only half of it was written, and did not write Zhuge Liang's last trick?"

What strange thing happened? Xiong Cilu became more and more confused as he listened, but he had to follow Emperor Kangxi's thoughts and answered: "The emperor must be so wise!"

Emperor Kangxi said again: "Then do you think...will Zhuge Liang pass on the entire empty city plan to his descendants?"

"It should be... Zhuge has so many unique skills, so he should pass on some to his descendants." Xiong Cilu replied while thinking in his heart: "What are you talking about today's military and national affairs? Is it difficult to rebel from Zhuge's descendants of Lanxi, Zhejiang? Zhuge Liang's descendants are so kind?"

At this time, Emperor Kangxi finally got the answer he wanted and nodded, "Xiong Cilu, it seems that you still understand "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very well! Let's do this, in the future, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and I discuss politics, come and listen to it and give me some advice."

"My memory, Xiong Cilu, thanks the Lord for his kindness!" Although Xiong Cilu had not figured out what had happened, he knew one thing very well. He was going to be promoted again! He might soon be able to officially join the cabinet and become a Grand Secretary!

He is only 37 years old this year... His official career is so prosperous!
