Kangxi said: "There is no clue about the old woman's origin at this moment. She must have an accomplice to do such a thing. After she gets the scriptures, she will definitely smuggle them out of the palace one after another. All six scriptures must be traced.
It would be very difficult to come back.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother said that to find the location of the Dragon Veins of the Qing Dynasty, eight scriptures must be obtained at the same time. Even if seven scriptures are obtained, it will be useless if one is missing.
We only need to destroy the two scriptures in the hands of Prince Kang and Wu Sangui, and then everything will be fine. We are not looking for dragon veins, so as long as we don't let others know about it, that's fine.
But I have lost the scriptures given by my father. If I can never find them again, I will be unfilial. What a pity, I, huh, and Princess Jianning, this little...little..."
Kangxi couldn't curse, and he couldn't curse either. After all, she was a descendant of his father and his sister.
At this time, what Kangxi was thinking about was what Shunzhi told him in the monk's room at the Golden Pavilion Temple in Wutai Mountain: "Son, you are smart and capable, and you love the people. You are much better than me as emperor.
The maps hidden in the eight "Forty-Two Chapters" are the location of a huge treasure house. When our Eight Banners soldiers entered the pass and plundered all the gold and silver treasures in various places in the Central Plains, they were all hidden in this treasure house.
The treasure house is publicly owned by the Eight Banners, so the map must be divided into eight parts and distributed to the Eight Banners to prevent it from being obtained by one person. There are more than a hundred times more Han people in the pass than we Manchurians.
If they all rise up to rebel, we will never be able to suppress them. Then we should retreat to the outside of the pass, open a treasure house, and divide them equally among the eight banners. In the next few years, we will not have to worry about food and clothing."
At that time, Kangxi remembered what his father asked Fang Yu to bring back: "Everything in the world must be allowed to take its course, and cannot be forced. If it can benefit the people of the Central Plains, that is the best. If the people of the world want us to leave, then where will we come from?"
, just go back there."
Shunzhi added: "It was God's will that the Manchus conquered the world with ease. We were really lucky. We must not wait to stay in the Central Plains for a long time, and we must not cause all the Manchus to be wiped out in the pass and no horses can leave the pass."
Kangxi only said that he was right, but in his heart he disagreed: "Our great cause of the Qing Dynasty is becoming more and more stable. From now on, we must expand our territory and build a foundation that will last forever. Why should there be any setbacks? Once we set back, there will be only one step back."
Oops. My father became a monk, and he was in a peaceful and unconcerned mood. That’s why he thought this way.”
Sure enough, Shunzhi continued to say: "However, the regent at that time ordered the banner leaders: there is a huge treasure outside the pass and must not be leaked, otherwise the Manchu soldiers will know that they will retreat. When the Han rebels, everyone will not
If we fight to the death, there will be no big deal.
Therefore, when the Eight Banners passed the scriptures to future generations, they could only say that the secrets hidden in the scriptures were related to the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty. Once the dragon veins were dug out, all the Manchus would die without a burial place.
Firstly, it prevents the descendants of the Eight Banners from being greedy and secretly digging for treasures; secondly, if they know that someone is going to dig for treasures, the Eight Banners will attack in groups and try their best to stop them. Only the leader of a country can know the real secret."
Kangxi reflected on his words that day and thought again: "The regent has great talent and great strategy, and what he saw is very true."
He glanced at Fang Yu and thought to himself: "Although Xiao Guizi is loyal, she can only tell him about the dragon's veins, not the treasure house. How can we guarantee that this kid will not be greedy when he gets older in the future?"
The Queen Mother told me last night that when my father decided to become a monk, he informed the Queen Mother of this big secret and asked her to tell her when I was older. The reason why the Queen Mother endured humiliation and lived in hiding was for this important matter. She didn't know that I had arrived.
I went to Mount Wutai to see my father, and fortunately, the Queen Mother was not killed by the old woman."
When Fang Yu saw Kangxi pacing back and forth and thinking, he suddenly had a thought in his mind and said, "Your Majesty, if the old woman was sent to the palace by Wu Sangui, he...he would have seven scriptures in his hand."
Kangxi was startled, thinking that this was very possible, and shouted: "Pass on to Shang Yi Jian!"
After a while, an old eunuch came into the study and kowtowed. He was the eunuch in charge of the Shangyi Supervisor.
Kangxi asked: "Have you found out?"
The eunuch said: "Back to the emperor: I have carefully checked that the material of this monk's robe is woven in the capital."
Kangxi hummed.
Only then did Fang Yu understand: "It turns out that the emperor wanted to investigate the short winter melon.
The origin. The material is made in Jingli, so nothing can be found."
The eunuch added: "But that set of men's underwear is made of cocoon silk from Liaodong and comes from the Jinzhou area."
Kangxi's face showed joy, he nodded and said, "Go down."
The eunuch kowtowed and left.
Kangxi said: "I'm afraid you are right. This short winter melon might have something to do with Wu Sangui."
Fang Yu said: "I don't understand."
Kangxi said: "Wu Sangui used to guard Shanhaiguan, and Jinzhou was his jurisdiction. This short winter melon may be his old department."
Fang Yu said happily: "That's right. Your Majesty is wise, and what he expected is definitely good."
Kangxi mused: "If the old woman escapes back to Yunnan, your trip will be even more dangerous. Bring more guards and three thousand soldiers from the heroic cavalry battalion."
Fang Yu said: "Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty. It would be best if I could catch the old woman and the short winter melon and cut them into pieces so that the Queen Mother can take this revenge."
Kangxi patted Fang Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you can make such a great contribution again and give the Queen Mother such a tone, hehe, you are too young and the official is too old, I will be in a bit of a dilemma.
But we, the little emperors and ministers, can do some great things together, and make those old officials stunned with fear, which is quite interesting."
Fang Yu said: "Although the emperor is young, he is wise and far-sighted. He has already impressed those old people from the bottom of their hearts. When you take care of Wu Sangui, you will be like no one before or after."
Kangxi laughed loudly and said: "Damn it, there is no one before and no one after. You are a smart guy, but you are ignorant and unwilling."
Fang Yu smiled and said: "Yes, yes. When I have time, I will have to read his books for a few days."
In fact, Fang Yu was vulgar and uncultured, which made Kangxi happy. There were as many ministers as he could, and he listened to Yunzi a lot all day long. He talked to Fang Yu about common sayings and felt quite happy.
Fang Yu resigned. As soon as he left the study, a guard came up to greet him and said in a low voice: "Deputy General Wei, Prince Kang wants to see you. I wonder if Deputy General Wei is free?".
Fang Yu asked: "Where is the prince?"
The guard said: "Your Majesty is waiting for the reply in the guard room."
Fang Yu said: "You came in person?"
The guard said: "Yes, yes. He said that he wanted to invite Deputy General Manager Wei to have a drink and watch a show. He was worried that the Emperor would send Deputy General Manager Wei to handle some important matters. You, the old man, have no national identity."
Fang Yu smiled and said, "Damn it, what kind of old man am I?"
Fang Yu came to the guard room and saw Prince Kang holding a tea bowl in one hand, sitting in a daze, his brows furrowed and looking deeply worried.
As soon as he saw Fang Yu come in, he quickly put down his tea bowl, grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much."
Fang Yu knew that he was asking for help in order to lose the scriptures, but when he saw him being so affectionate, he was happy and said: "If the prince has something to do, just send someone to give him an order. You can enjoy wine and meals. Why don't you come here despite your humble duty?"
?You give me face like this, but you come to me yourself."
Prince Kang said: "I have prepared a theater troupe at home, but I am afraid that my brother will not be free. Can you come over and sit down now?"
Fang Yu smiled and said, "Okay, the prince will give me a meal. As long as the emperor doesn't ask me to do something urgent, or even if my own son is dead, I have to disturb the prince's meal before I disturb the prince's meal."
The two of them left the palace hand in hand and came to the palace by horse. Prince Kang entertained them grandly and with great courtesy, but this time there were no outsiders.
After dinner, Prince Kang invited him to the study room to chat. He praised him for becoming a monk in the Shaolin Temple on behalf of the emperor and had accumulated countless merits. He also praised him for being a young man who had become the chief of the imperial guards and the commander of the Xiaoqi camp.
, the future is truly limitless.
Fang Yu was humble and said that from now on, everything will be supported by the prince. Prince Kang sighed and said, "Brother, you and I are our own people. I don't have to hide anything from you. As an elder brother, a big disaster is coming. I'm just worried about my wealth."
It’s hard to save your life.”
Fang Yu pretended to be surprised and said: "Your Majesty is the direct descendant of Daishan Dabeile, the Iron Hat King. Your Majesty is trusting you. What kind of disaster is coming?"
Prince Kang
He said: "Brother, you don't know something. After the Manchus entered the Pass, the late emperor gave each banner holder a Buddhist scripture. I am the lord of the Zhenghong Banner, and I was also gifted a Buddhist scripture.
Today, the emperor summoned me and asked me to submit the scriptures given by the late emperor. But... I don’t know what happened to this scripture, but it was... stolen by others. What should I do?"
Fang Yu was full of surprise and said: "It's really strange! You can steal gold and silver, but what's so good about stealing books? Is this book made of gold? Or is it studded with jade jewelry, so it's very valuable?"
Prince Kang said: "It is not, it is just an ordinary scripture. But I failed to take good care of the gift given by the late emperor, which is really disrespectful. The emperor suddenly asked me to hand it over. I am afraid that he already knew that I had lost the gift and wanted to
Investigate this matter. Brother, you have to save me."
With that said, Prince Kang stood up and asked to be seated.
Fang Yu hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Your Majesty is so polite, why would you kill this villain?"
Prince Kang said with a sad face: "Brother, if you don't think of a way for me, I...I will have no choice but to commit suicide."
Fang Yu said: "The prince takes the matter too seriously. If I report this matter to the emperor tomorrow, the most I can do is fine the prince a few months' salary, or give the prince a reprimand. How can one's life be at stake?"
Prince Kang shook his head and said: "As long as I can save my life, I will be deposed as a prince and demoted to a commoner. I will be grateful to God and contented.
Xiangjian Banner Pu Han Shuokha was thrown into the sky prison yesterday because he lost his scriptures. I heard that he was tortured very much. The emperor sent someone to interrogate him to find out where the scriptures were."
As he spoke, the muscles on his face trembled, obviously thinking of the various cruel torture methods he was subjected to in the heavenly prison.
