Kangxi also knew that he might be a little drunk, so he stopped insisting and stood up and said: "Let's stop fighting here today, and let's fight again in the future. King Kang and Xiao Guizi will follow me around." Everyone stood up one after another.
Seeing each other off, I saw a lot of excitement on everyone's faces. It's no wonder that although these people are related to Kangxi, they must be the emperor. They have never been treated like dining at the same table, let alone two fists with the emperor.
Now, while King Kang was hosting a banquet, he actually had a close encounter with the current emperor. Anyone else would be excited.
King Kang was also happy. Although this restaurant had nothing to do with him and he was just a facade, everyone didn't know the inside story and all thought it was him. He also thought that he was just taking care of the restaurant at the emperor's request. He never thought
The emperor would come to congratulate him in person and even toast him with a glass of wine in front of everyone. This was a great honor. It was an honor that no one else could even imagine. But glory for glory, he was very angry that I didn't tell him in advance that the emperor was coming.
Awkward, I almost made a fool of myself in front of the emperor. The blame will always be on me. As soon as I left the door, while Kangxi was walking in front, Prince Kang suddenly reached out and pinched my ears, and whispered: "You guy,
Why didn't you tell me when the emperor was coming?" Kangxi never thought that this little move would be noticed. He stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "Prince Kangxi, you have wronged Xiao Guizi. No one informed me when I came.
Xiao Guizi was also shocked when she saw me." I also said: "That's right. As soon as I saw the emperor on the street, my legs were weak from fear. When I got upstairs, I wanted to report it, but the emperor wanted to
I want to give everyone a surprise, so I always surprise you." Prince Kang smiled helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, it is very dangerous outside the palace, it is better to go back early." Kangxi turned around and walked slowly
, said: "With you and Xiao Guizi here, I have nothing to be afraid of." After saying that, he opened a door, raised his legs and stepped in. This sentence sounded very pleasant to me, and it was very useful to Prince Kang and me.
, as if he was the unstoppable strong man, he puffed up his chest and followed in.
The room was full of officials from various ministries, and Mingzhu and Suo'etu were also sitting inside. Everyone was drinking happily when they suddenly saw Prince Kang and two beautiful young men coming in. They all stood up, picked up their wine glasses, and wanted to toast Prince Kang.
I blinked anxiously at Suo'etu, and Suo'etu recognized me immediately. His face lit up with joy and he was about to speak, but I pressed my lips toward Kangxi. This Suo'etu was worthy of being called "Three Eyes." I immediately saw Kangxi's face clearly.
He knelt down with a plop and shouted: "Long live the Lord's good luck." Everyone was startled and looked in the direction where Suo'etu was kneeling. For a while, they knelt on the ground and knelt down. Kangxi smiled and said: "Get up, everyone.
I'm here to cheer for King Kangxi and take a look at everyone. You continue to play and don't spoil everyone's interest because of me." Suo'etu was the first to stand up and saw Kangxi's red face, knowing that he had drank.
After a lot of wine, he was in a good mood and said: "The emperor personally came to support Prince Kang and had fun with his ministers. He is really a rare virtuous king. We follow the emperor to do things, and we are all happy. We only look forward to this life."
They all follow the emperor." These words of flattery were just right. Kangxi couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. I also quietly extended my thumb to Suo'etu. The other ministers were overtaken by Suo'etu and were all anxious.
Showing his loyalty, Kangxi smiled and said: "Look what I'm talking about. As soon as I came here, you all were discouraged from drinking. No one is willing to drink. It wouldn't be a pity to lose your good ability to drink. You continue to play, I will stay in another room."
Turn around." After saying that, he turned around and went out.
As if the ministers in the room were eager to show off their ability to drink, they immediately started fighting with each other over wine. Seeing that I was about to follow Kangxi out, Suo'etu quietly pulled me in and whispered: "Brother, you are so big.
It’s so grand that even the emperor was invited.” I smiled and said, “This is Prince Kang’s shop. Prince Kang is so proud.” Suo’etu winked and said, “I really have you, and you can use Prince Kang as a spearman.
Even if this restaurant sells human flesh, no one dares to control it." I laughed, gave him my hand and walked out.
Kangxi was in high spirits. He would never have the chance to encounter such lively scenes in the palace. In addition, he had just taken office, which was a critical period for getting along with the ministers. Therefore, he did not miss the previous room and went around one by one.
The situation was the same as before. Everywhere he went there was a chorus of praises and praises. All the officials were excited to see the emperor in person. Some of the older Manchu ministers even shed tears. Prince Kang also gained a lot of face. Everyone looked at him.
His eyesight is also a little different. The old prince seems to be much younger. His waist no longer hurts and his legs are no longer sore. He can go up to the fifth floor in one breath without any difficulty.
We walked down the bustling three floors. I was worried that Kangxi would be out for too long and it would be difficult to deal with the Queen Mother in the palace. Prince Kang and I persuaded him to return to the palace. Kangxi couldn't resist, so we had to escort him out of the restaurant. Several waiters
They lined up outside the door and bent down to send us out. Even after walking a long way, they didn’t straighten up. Kangxi found it very interesting and asked about the origins of these female cousins. I replied: "These girls are all worshipers."
The family members of the officials involved were rewarded as slaves by the meritorious officials. Some of the meritorious officials were not well off and could not afford to support them for a while." He glanced at Prince Kang and said, "So the slaves bought them, trained them, and became waiters.
A person who knows how to read and be courteous is quite decent in being a pawnbroker. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "You are so clever, little Guizi. You can always come up with new tricks. Some officials are poor and cannot afford to support domestic slaves. I have never thought of these problems before. After you reminded me,
, only to realize that the matter is difficult. Every time an important person commits a crime, there will always be hundreds of family members, or even thousands. If they all are rewarded, it may not be a good thing for the recipients, but if they are locked up, the country will have to
Feeding them with food cannot kill them all at once. You gave me an idea today. In this way, if you can make money from this restaurant, you can continue to do other businesses. Whatever you need, King Kang and I will give you.
As long as the business can be done, we will pay you as much as you need for the prisoner's family. This matter will be under the control of Prince Kang now. You just have to go to him." He pointed to Prince Kang, who quickly handed over and said yes.
Kangxi continued: "In addition to the imperial tea room, our palace also has a Guangzhou Secretary, which has silver, copper, dyeing, clothing, embroidery, flowers, leather and other craftsmen. If you need manpower for any business, just go and find people.
Now the Minister-in-Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is Prince Kang, and I will appoint you as the Deputy Chief-Eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which will make it easier to do things." Unexpectedly, I could get an official position by doing business, so I was overjoyed and asked: "
Your Majesty, what rank is this deputy general manager?" Prince Kang rushed to say: "From the fourth rank, congratulations, Eunuch Gui has been promoted again." Kangxi smiled and said: "You will be in front of this deputy general manager first. If you do well,
, I found a reason to remove Wu Liangfu and let you be the general manager." I said in my heart that I should keep you as the general manager. I also want to be a serious official. No matter how big the general manager is, he will still be a eunuch. But I said in my mouth:
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
The three people were talking and had returned to the palace. They passed directly through the Qianqing Palace, and beyond that was the Inner Palace. It was inconvenient for Prince Kang to enter, so he knelt down and said goodbye to Kangxi, and went back to the restaurant. Kangxi would not let me go back, and insisted on I accompanied me to the palace, and the little palace maid brought refreshments. Kangxi drank a few cups of tea to sober up, but his interest was still undiminished. He ordered a banquet in the imperial garden to get drunk with me. Anyway, he had already returned to the palace, as long as he didn't let him It doesn't bother me to drink him to death, so I won't stop him and let him enjoy himself.
The eunuchs chose a pavilion with stone tables and benches. They put cups and chopsticks on them, but they hesitated where to put my utensils. After all, there was no rule in the palace about eating at the same table as the emperor, but Kangxi ignored this and ordered the eunuchs. He placed my cup and chopsticks opposite him and asked me to sit down. When the food and wine were served, he asked the maids and eunuchs to retreat far away from sight, and then they started drinking with me.
I looked around and saw that no one could hear us, so I asked: "Your Majesty, you just said that you want to do business in a big way. Is it really just for fun? It's not just for fun, just opening a restaurant is enough. ." Kangxi said with a smile: "Of course it's not all for fun. From a young age, I have solved the problem of the families of criminal officials. I have already talked about this. The most important thing is that I want to find another way to strengthen the country."
"The way to strengthen a country?" I asked in surprise.
Kangxi drank a glass of wine and said: "Yes. Our ancestors have always been farming-oriented, focusing on agriculture and neglecting business. However, I am thinking that since ancient times, some important towns and cities are famous for their large population and developed commerce. This must be one of them. Business plays an important role, so I wanted to do some exploration in this area. It happened that you secretly opened a wine shop behind my back, so I used your wine shop as a small experiment." Hearing this. I smiled sheepishly.
Kangxi added: "Of course, just one restaurant is not enough to draw a conclusion, so I will give you my full support. I hope you will also make some attempts in banks, pawn shops, trading houses and various small workshops to find out a way to build a strong commercial country." Find a way."
I was overjoyed when I heard this, but then asked: "Why does the emperor want me to do this? You threw money and things in vain, but they all benefited me. You don't want anything in return, why don't you do it yourself?" Kangxi said with a smile: "There are two meanings in this. Firstly, we have established a friendship and have made such great contributions, so I must give you some benefits. When you serve me, there will always be some ministers trying to understand me. Likes and dislikes, I hand you money. If you make enough money in business, you will not accept those small amounts and do unfaithful things. Secondly, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and I will never give up my devotion to agriculture for the sake of commerce. Development, so I leave the business matters to you, while I focus on agriculture. This spring, I have opened dozens of fertile fields in Huangzhuang to cultivate new rice species. Those Manchu ministers only You know how to fight, but Han Chen only knows how to read and write articles. I think you are very smart. I can only rest assured if you can handle this business matter."
Hearing Kangxi's praise, I was naturally overjoyed and clinked glasses with him again and again. With the emperor's support, it was difficult for me not to make a fortune, although some readers had long suspected that my fake Wei Xiaobao was worthless, lacked courage, and didn't think about it all day long. If we are aggressive, so what, we can still be the richest red-headed man in the Qing Dynasty, with a family full of lovely wives and concubines. I still feel that this life is the most nourishing.
The confusion in my mind was solved, and I felt very refreshed. Seeing that Kangxi was still very drunk, I also had the idea of getting drunk. I drank heavily with him, chatted easily, and watched the sun set in the west.
The setting sun spread the light spots all over the garden, and there were yellow shadows all over our bodies. With such a beautiful scenery, Kangxi couldn't help but stand up, took a big sip from the wine glass, and said: "What a beautiful scenery, why have I never seen it before?"
Passed?" I smiled and said: "I think you see it every day but never pay attention to it. You are the emperor and you are busy with government affairs all day long. How can you be in the mood to pay attention to such things." Kangxi nodded and said: "What you said makes some sense. I
Since he came to the throne, he has been either doing homework or doing government affairs. He has never been as interesting as today. Thanks to you opening such a restaurant, you can have a lot of fun." I said: "Your Majesty is incognito today and has finally left the palace for once. From now on,
If you have the chance, you can go out often. The room in our restaurant where you have a drink today will be kept empty from now on, specially reserved for you to take a break when you leave the palace." Kangxi was a little moved and said: "The location of that room is good, you can see
It is indeed a great pleasure to see the scenery on the street and watch the people passing by under our feet.”
During the conversation, the sun gradually disappeared, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the golden eyes turned into a whole patch of silver. Kangxi drank another glass of wine, took a long breath, and chanted: "To be successful in life, you must have all the joy.
Don't let the gold bottle stand empty against the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the gold has been spent. Cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Master Cen, born in Dan Qiu, will drink wine. Don't do it.
Stop. Let me sing a song, please listen to me. Bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will be drunk for a long time and never wake up. In ancient times, the sages were lonely, and only the drinkers left their names." I was shocked. This poem is really true.
It is very familiar, especially the phrase "I am born to be useful". I have heard it countless times. Now when I heard him read it out, my head was buzzing. Could it be that this poem was written by Kangxi?
No matter who wrote the poem, I have to flatter him first, so I shouted loudly: "What a poem, what a poem, Xiao Xuanzi, you are so amazing, you can write such a good poem just by opening your mouth." Kangxi laughed loudly.
He got up and said: "You just don't read. This is "Jinjinjiu" written by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. I did not write it. I started reading it the other day and liked these lines very much, so I read it casually.
Come out." My face turned red. I was really embarrassed this time. I didn't even understand Li Bai's "Jian Jin Jiu" and used it to flatter me. But you can't blame me. I graduated with a computer major, not a liberal arts major.
, What's the big deal if you memorize one or two Tang poems less? No matter how good you are in Kangxi, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass CET-4.
I can also read Li Bai's poems. Since it's an elegant thing, I also read a few sentences for him. Then I cleared my throat and chanted: "There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon, lower your head and think."
"Hometown." Readers, please don't scold me when you see this. In fact, I only found this whole song in my mind. There may be a few other sentences, but I couldn't put them together for the moment. I had to put this song for preschoolers.
I took out the enlightenment reading material and showed it.
Kangxi sat down and looked at me. After a while, he asked, "Are you homesick?" I guess he thought I was inspired by this poem when I read it, but he didn't know that I was really out of ideas and couldn't come up with the answer.
Things come as they happen. I had no choice but to nod. Kangxi asked again: "Where is your hometown?" I thought for a while and decided to take Wei Xiaobao's birthplace as the criterion, so I said: "I was born in Yangzhou.
"Kangxi sighed and said, "Yangzhou is a good place, with beautiful scenery, rich products, and a prosperous life for the people." I was worried that his secret would be revealed when he asked about Yangzhou, so I quickly changed the topic: "Xiao Xuanzi, I just listened to you read
In the poem "All the sages from ancient times are lonely": You are an emperor, are you lonely?"
Kangxi's eyes darkened, he picked up the wine glass and stood up, walked to the pavilion pillar, looked at the bright moon in the sky, stood motionless for a long time, and sang softly: "Whoever enters my room, there will be a breeze. Accompany me.
Drink, only when the moon shines brightly." No matter how much I didn't understand poetry, I could still understand these two sentences, so I stepped forward and said, "Xiao Xuanzi, I'm here to drink with you, don't be too sad."
Kangxi turned around, smiled at me, and said: "Xiao Guizi, ever since I met you, I have been indescribably happy. Especially today, it is the happiest day for me. Being the emperor, I feel like I am wrapped in a blanket.
After getting out of the car, there is no day to relax. Fortunately, you are by my side. I don’t know how to thank you. I know you miss home, but it’s a pity that you are a eunuch. There are rules in our palace that strictly prohibit eunuchs from leaving the capital. Otherwise, I can
Let you go back to visit your relatives."
At this point, I really couldn't bear it any longer, and all the alcohol in my body rushed into my head, and I said loudly: "Xiao Xuanzi, this eunuch of mine is a fake!"
Wei Xiaobao sighed: "After a month of hanging around at the starting point, I finally left the newcomer list. I was killed several times by Sanjiang, and there was no news about my forced recommendation. There is no chance of advancement. But we can't stop, these are many men's days.
Spending money every day has really made us famous. How can we ignore everyone? If we fall off the list, we no longer have to worry about the word limit. Whenever I have some time, I will spend it on coding, and I will never let down the folks.
