Chapter 66
When Wei Tong left with him, it happened to be the spring of the 20th year of Kangxi. Chen Su did not go with him, but went to the south of the Yangtze River temporarily to deal with the matter, and returned to the capital to meet him after the matter was over.
The horses and horses were exhausted along the way, but they returned to the capital soon. Compared with other places, it was not far away.
After Wei's business grew, a house had long been settled in the capital, and Wei Tong also lived in it after looking for someone to clean it.It is common for the emperor to take care of everything. It stands to reason that he does not know when he will remember such a thing as summoning an inconspicuous official.Therefore, the person who delivered the decree didn't feel that there was anything wrong after hearing Wei Tong's departure.
Unexpectedly, when he finally got home and sat down, before he had drunk three cups of hot tea, someone in the palace rushed to pass the decree, saying that the emperor had summoned him and the accompanying officials.Before his butt was hot, he immediately stood up and took the court clothes he had just taken off, and put them on as he walked. In addition, he immediately ordered people to go to the address Wei Tong said before, and find them quickly.
Wei Tong was a little helpless when he was pulled over, thinking that something had happened, but he didn't expect to be summoned by the emperor.
When he stepped into the palace again, Wei Tong didn't know what it was like. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar bricks and tiles, under the resplendent appearance, the veins of those years were imprinted everywhere, and thinking about these things, It seems to be traces of a long time ago.
Following the guidance, several adults arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When they were about to enter the door, the two eunuchs standing at the door looked at Wei Tong standing behind everyone in shock. The sight that peeled off a layer of skin was very hot.
Wei Tong smiled slightly, and followed in without moving.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—" After entering the palace gate, everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting long live.Not long after, a majestic voice came from above, "Free from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone kowtowed again, and then stood up again.And Wei Tong, who raised his head, made a slight gasp sound in the hall. Such a sound is impossible to exist in normal times. The officials standing in the hall were a little strange, but after seeing that the emperor did not respond, there was no sound. express.
And Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside Kangxi, looked at His Highness's familiar eyes, and the turmoil in his heart was beyond words.How did this man leave the palace ten years ago? He was in charge of almost everything, and he was very clear about the obstacles and difficulties between the two. But today, ten years have passed. Even if Liang Jiugong knew that the emperor I still remember the person in my heart, but I thought it was impossible. Who would have thought that this person would reappear in the palace today, and even stand in front of the emperor.
Standing behind the crowd, Wei Tong faced a lot of secret and scorching gazes, worrying about one thing, but he forgot that there are too many old acquaintances in the palace, and he is really recognized wherever he goes Rhythm.
But ahead, the emperor and several ministers discussed the matter in an orderly manner.Almost all the ministers who were summoned today were ministers who were going to pass on the decree. Feedback on the news is also very important, and they have to do this thing on weekdays, but this time the emperor summoned him in a bit of a hurry.
After finally discussing the matter, when the emperor sitting at the top seemed to be waving his hands to let people go down, he paused, looked up at Wei Tong who had been standing behind for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "You are Wei Tong. ?”
Wei Tong kept complaining in his heart, but his face was calm, and he looked like a clear and bright young man, with a certain amount of advance and retreat: "My minister, Wei Tong, pays homage to the emperor."
"Kabra said that you have a hundred steps and extraordinary martial arts skills, but why are you dressed as a civil servant?" the emperor above his head asked in a deep voice.Wei Tong arched his hands and bent down, and replied softly: "I practice martial arts just to strengthen my body, so I don't care much about it. I don't think it makes any difference whether it's a civil servant or a military officer."
After saying this, the officials standing on both sides became a little dissatisfied.The people here today are all civil servants, and most of them look down on military officials, thinking that no one is vulgar, ignorant of big plans, impulsive and irritable, so naturally they cannot be compared with them.Wei Tong's painting method is to compare the two, how could they be happy.
But before they opened their mouths, Kangxi laughed loudly, his voice was clear and cheerful: "You are right, civil and military should have served the imperial court, what disputes did they have before?" Dare to say something.
A person with a flexible mind would have already guessed what the emperor meant. A few days ago, there was a quarrel in the court. There were disputes between civil and military forces.
"In this case, you should come to my side as a bodyguard. I will designate you as a third-class bodyguard to accompany the monarch. Go to the bodyguard office to report tomorrow." The little official mentioned the third-class bodyguard of the fifth rank.
Being the imperial bodyguard next to the emperor is the easiest job and the place with the most outlets.In addition to genuine talents who were highly valued by the emperor, many of the children of high-ranking officials and nobles came to the fore slowly through this path in order to easily gain official positions.In any case, there are many things to do with the emperor, as long as the emperor sees it, the future will naturally have a future.
This order is different from other rewards. Although several ministers feel that something is wrong, they are not so uncomfortable at this moment. Now they are afraid that the emperor will make them feel uncomfortable.When the emperor asked people to retreat, everyone retreated in a hurry.
Wei Tong left with the adults, except for the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he didn't meet any familiar people along the way, and left the palace smoothly.
It was just that Kangxi wanted to arrange Wei Tong's identity in such a way today. No matter what the Lord Kabra's intention was to recommend Wei Tong, as an internal minister's opinion, it does not matter Kangxi would not fail to accept important matters, and everything was as natural as if there were no calculations.
Back in the house that had just been hung up in the Wei Mansion, Wei Tong asked someone to cook something to eat, and then went to the study alone to sit quietly.
I was running around on the road before, and although I improved a lot after talking with the people in the team and met a lot of people, it was impossible to think about something on the road.
First of all, it is about the matter in Jiangnan. He hasn't been back for a long time, and he has been relying on the communication between Chen Su and Chen Su. It seems that there is no major problem, but if he and Kangxi have to pay In reality, the entire Wei family needs to be reshuffled, not to mention the Chen family who got involved in it.People's hearts are unpredictable, Wei Tong can't put everything on Ah Chen, this matter must depend on Chen Su.
Then there was the matter of Wei Ning. Wei Tong hadn't seen his younger sister for ten years. At first, he thought that when she was in the palace, she was protected by someone anyway. After leaving the palace at the age of 25, she would not let her suffer anyway.Who would have thought that she had already left the palace so many years ago, really... Although Xuan had already said that she was on the way, Wei Tong couldn't let go of her heart before seeing it with her own eyes.
And after that it was his own business, although Xuan didn't tell him, but he also knew Xuan's plan.The officialdom is not Wei Tong's favorite place, even a small place like Aihui has had troubles, let alone a place in the capital where one stone hits three yellow belts.That being the case, it is better to take the road of a military officer. Although intrigue is indispensable, but he is straightforward, and he is by the emperor's side, and the dirty things are not too obvious.
Wei Tong knew in his heart that Xuan Da didn't want him to go too far away, and ten years was enough for Wei Tong to see all the things he wanted to see, and now he had no objections when he returned to the capital to stay for a while.
It's just that the relationship between him and Xuan is always a problem.
When he saw Kangxi again, he really didn't expect that Kangxi still had such thoughts in his heart.Ten years of time, for many people, I have forgotten how many so-called unforgettable memories, and they all become empty in a blink of an eye, and it doesn't matter what it is.He has a thorough understanding of this point, and has never had any extravagant hopes for this point.
When I was in Aihui, it was not that no one proposed marriage, especially after knowing his age, I was full of emotion. I was doing a pioneering posture, shaking my head and persuading: "It's just a normal thing to marry a wife and have children. Don't you feel happy when you see your soft wife serving you tea and water?"
Of course it is happy to have someone to know and accompany, but Wei Tong has never had such an idea.Harming a woman is undoubtedly cutting off her life for the rest of her life. It is true that he is occasionally lonely, but it is impossible to marry a wife because of it.Even when I was in the palace, I sat with the eunuchs and listened to their drunken yelling, when I became powerful, I must marry a wife and find an adopted son, so that I can be happy.However, if something is not your own, no matter how long you pursue it, it cannot be your own.
It's just that ten years ago he categorically rejected Xuan, but ten years later, Wei Tong could feel his slight, almost imperceptible wavering.
Perhaps in ten years, the originally plump rice grains have turned into a fine wine with a mellow aftertaste after years of tempering, and it has become fragrant all over without knowing it. No matter how restrained it is, it still overflows from the sealed wine jar Come out, gently lingering around the side, inadvertently teasing people's hearts little by little.
Thinking of this, Wei Tong helplessly covered his face, Xuan always saw him very thoroughly.Maybe that's why he transferred him back to Beijing without his knowledge.
It's just... Could it be that he is really a closet?The tentacles that were almost sticking out had to be put away.
