Chapter 31 Thirty-one banquets, the strong man Kangxi went out of the palace and drank the imperial wine, the hero was loyal

Sun Dianchen got off his watch, took advantage of the chaos, and quietly left the left gate.He has always been kind and cautious when working on errands, and he is very popular, so he was not questioned by the guards of Jing Yunmen.He thought about it as he walked, but he really couldn't figure out why Wei Dongting, the favorite of the Long Live Lord, invited him to the mansion tonight for no reason, and said he wanted to meet some nobles. I was working in the palace. Got so sneaky? After crossing the east of Hufang Bridge and turning around Weizi Hutong, there is a large row of residential buildings.The streets and alleys here are criss-crossed and extremely prosperous.Fortunately, he had worked in the patrol yamen for several years, and this area was once under the jurisdiction.If it's a little unfamiliar, it's so dark at night, and you can't tell the east, west, north, south, let alone looking for people.

According to the route Wei Dongting said, after crossing the Hufang Bridge about two miles away, turning left and right into an alley like a ecstasy formation, I felt a sudden opening, a gust of wind blew past, and the cold was soaking in my bones. I saw two people in front of me. Waiting with a light on, seeing him coming, he raised the light from afar and asked in a low voice: But is grandpa here yet? Sun Dianchen agreed, and when he took a closer look, he saw that one was an old servant, and although the other looked familiar, he knew that he had worked as a servant in the palace, but he couldn't remember when he met him and what his name was, so he hurriedly said with a smile: Please wait here, I actually know the way.The old servant said with a smile: Master Sun is a rare guest, so he should welcome him.

But when he entered the courtyard, he didn't see the host coming out to greet him. When he opened his eyes, there were already five or six people in the seat, one old man with high spirits, and the other five were young people in their twenties.Among them, Mu Zixu and Qiang Luzi had verified their martial arts with Aobai in the palace, so he knew each other.He hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: Mr. Mu and Mr. Jiang, are you all right?Everyone is lucky to meet!Hao Laosi who led the way smiled and said: Is it my Hao Laosi who is the leader and leads the way for grandpa in vain?Sun Dianchen suddenly remembered, apologized quickly, and asked: This old gentleman and these two gentlemen are meeting for the first time.

Mingzhu smiled heartily: Grandpa, I am Mingzhu.You should also know that you met Ao Zhongtang when he was proving martial arts, but it's rare for you to remember it until I get started.This is the old hero of history, who is called Iron Arhat Shi Longbiao by people in the world.The name of this person is Liu Hua, and he is now working as an errand in Aozhongtang's mansion. When Sun Dianchen heard about Liu Hua's identity, he was a little puzzled, but he smiled and said: "Long-awaited, we are all here, why don't we see the master?"The old servant bowed and replied: Mr. Wei is talking to a distinguished guest at the back.Grandpa, wait a moment.

As soon as the words fell, Wei Dongting came out with a happy face, and said to the surroundings: Treating friends slowly is a crime!Everyone, please take your seats, the Holy One is coming! This sentence was like a thunderbolt being struck in court, and everyone in the room turned pale.Everyone hurriedly got up and left their seats.That Liu Hua was even more flustered with fright. When he got up, he didn't move quickly.But at the sound of the curtain, there is a young man wearing a green felt and satin platform crown on his head, a maroon river silk padded gown covered with a small woolen leather jacket with azurite and blue silk, a soft yellow thread belt around his waist, and blue satin cool-lined soap boots. , with clear eyes and a dignified demeanor, holding a lacquered tooth fan, he appeared in front of everyone with a smile.Behind him stood Suo'etu and Xiong Cilu, bowing from one left to the other, and Lang Fu with a sword hanging from his waist, guarding him by his side.This person is the current Emperor Kangxi.

Except for Shi Longbiao and Liu Hua, everyone here has seen the emperor.But today, something happened unexpectedly, and I was stunned for a while.Wei Dongting only said to be with noble people, who would have thought that it would be so expensive!Sun Dianchen had been in the palace for a long time, and he was the first to react. With an exclamation, he kowtowed to the ground and said: Long live!Only then did the crowd come to their senses, and they all knelt down together. Kangxi hurriedly walked forward, regardless of superiority or superiority, he helped them up one by one, and said with a smile: I also came here for leisure, so you don't have to pay attention to this ceremony.

Walking up to Liu Hua, Kangxi asked: Are you Liu Hua?Liu Hua was so excited that his face was flushed, his voice was trembling, and he bumped his head three times on the ground and said: "Slave Liu Hua, I wish the Holy Master long live and be healthy!"Kangxi pulled him up and said with a smile: I heard from Xiao Weizi that you have a good drinker!Might as well use a few extra glasses tonight.Then he asked Shi Longbiao: Old hero Shi, are you still in good health?Shi Longbiao just kowtowed, unable to speak out of excitement. After the ceremony, everyone was busy setting up their seats again.Kangxi laughed and said, "Forget so many etiquettes!"In fact, it was Little Weizi who did the trick tonight, and I even talked about it.Come and come, everyone sits down, if you just stick to the etiquette, I will go.Then everyone straightened up and sat down sideways.

Sun Dianchen looked at this battle and guessed Kangxi's thoughts seven or eight points correctly.It's just that Kangxi didn't speak, and none of the people present dared to speak.It seems that no matter how good the wine is, it is difficult for the emperor and his ministers to enjoy themselves at the same table. But Liu Hua was very excited about the favor he received tonight. He had worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Thirteenth Yamen, and he also stayed in Obai Mansion for four years. He met Obai every few days, but he had never seen each other. He looked straight at himself.Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became hot, and I stood up and cupped my hands to Kangxi: Long live, although this servant is a rough man, he still knows that loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of life!Lord Long Live thinks highly of the servant like this today, even if the servant goes through fire and water, he must repay the emperor's kindness!

Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: good, good, good.With this kind of loyalty, I like it.But there is no place to use you tonight. When I want to use you in the future, I will naturally have to order.All you have to do is drink and have fun tonight!Said, turned to face Mingzhu, Mingzhu, do you think this is okay? Mingzhu didn't expect Kangxi to talk to her suddenly, she was a bit at a loss, but after all, he was very alert, he immediately turned his head, and said with a smile: "The body of the Holy One is perfect, I have a private visit to the palace, I drink with my servants, and I sing this song together." In the peaceful and prosperous age, good stories will surely be left behind, which will be praised by all generations.

Kangxi didn't let him go on: what you said is not right.It has been nearly seven years since I ascended the throne, and I have not given any kindness to my subjects. Now that the country is in danger, the people of Li are in great distress.I want to change all these malpractices, but I can't do it, I can't stop it. Every time I think about it, I can't eat well, I can't sleep at night, and I feel deeply ashamed of my ancestors. Hearing Kangxi's words, everyone present was surprised.Xiong Cilu took the opportunity to play a prelude and said: The Lord is generous and merciful, loves people with virtue, and has long cherished the great plan of governing the country.If the big plan works, we can start the foundation of our Great Qing Empire forever.All of you here are people who are trusted by the Holy One, and the shoulders of the Qing Dynasty will be able to understand the Holy Will and work hard.Although Xiong Cilu didn't talk much, he focused on the topic.Everyone was excited and grateful, and their eyes were moist and blurred.

Wei Dongting was also very excited at this time, stepped forward, and played loudly: Your Majesty, Dongting is willing to serve a cup of imperial wine with all the lords, to bless the dragon's body and health, to wipe out traitors as soon as possible, and to revive the court. Kangxi nodded and said: "Okay, dear friends, having such loyalty is really a blessing for the whole country and all the people."Come, let us, the monarchs and ministers, raise this cup together, and wish the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of all generations.After speaking, he stood up and raised his glass to let the wine go.From Xiong Cilu, Wei Dongting, down to Shi Longbiao and Liu Hua, they were all grateful, left their seats, raised their glasses too much, and drank with Kangxi this cup of royal wine of loyalty to the monarch and achievements.
