Chapter 48: The Firelight of Wanhualou

In the evening, it was not yet dark, and a light rain was falling.

In the pavilion on the top of Baiyun Mountain, Kang Mazi stood straight, his eyes looking down at the bustling city of Guangzhou at the bottom of the mountain.

In his hand was a letter with few words, only four words, 'in the urn'!

"Sandezi, do you say that Mu Lidao people are worth believing?"

Kangxi looked at the four words on the letter repeatedly, as if he couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Li Dequan, the great eunuch behind him.

"Ahem, ahem, the old slave doesn't dare to discuss national affairs."

Li Dequan looked terrified, he was in his fifties, his face was white and beardless, but his face was a little pale, like a patient who had been tortured by illness for a long time, and he didn't know how such an old and frail old eunuch could get Kang Mazi's favor!

"Huh!" Kang Mazi wanted to laugh when he saw Li Dequan's cautious appearance, but when he inadvertently saw the gray hair behind Li Dequan's back, he couldn't help but sigh a little more, and he sighed: "The years are really unforgiving!" We're all old, Sandezi, you've been with me for forty years, right? ”

Li Dequan whispered: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been with you for forty years and five months!" He is still cautious, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, so he can't be cautious.

"Alas! It's been forty-one years in a blink of an eye, and you've followed me since I ascended the throne, and we're old friends! "People, every age group will have a period of time to recall the past, and Kang Mazi is naturally vulgar.

"The emperor has tormented the old slave, how can the old slave be called friends with the emperor!" Mixed in the Forbidden City for decades, Li Dequan can still have no ability, he knows the moodiness of the superiors, when you are happy, you are his friend, the pillar of talent, and when you are unhappy, it is possible for people to fall to the ground.

Kang Mazi seemed to be a little dissatisfied, he pointed at Li Dequan and said: "You, you, the older you get, the more timid and afraid you are, where has the heroism of your youth gone?" ”

"Back then, Ao Bai deceived me when he was young, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't dare to say a word, but you stood up and scolded him with righteous words."

"When I captured the Aobai, it was you who took the lead in helping me to capture the Aobai, and you should take the lead in this matter."

"During the three rebellions, you didn't think about my tea and rice, so you starved with me!"

"When you exterminated Geldan, it was you who desperately protected me from my side, so that I was unscathed!"

"During my private visit, it was you and Fayin who protected me together, so that I could feel the suffering of the people with peace of mind, and I really met a few interesting girls......

"Sandezi, I have seen everything you have done in my eyes and remembered it in my heart, and now Fayin has escaped into Buddhism with all my heart, and there is only one person I trust the most, Sandezi!" Speaking of which, Kang Mazi also patted his chest with his hand.

"Your Majesty, the old slave ......"

Li Dequan was moved by tears, and he kowtowed again and again, eager to burst his head.

"You, get up!" Kang Mazi helped Li Dequan up and said, "I just want to hear your opinion, look at you, say whatever you want, I don't blame you!" ”

"The old slave thinks that Mu Lidao is credible, he is bent on seeking the ethereal immortality, and the traitors who fought side by side with him in the past are no longer put in his heart, and he only has immortal enlightenment in his eyes." Li Dequan thought for a long time and said, while talking at the same time, he occasionally looked up at Kang Mazi, for fear that what he said was wrong and angered Kang Mazi.

Kang Mazi smiled noncommittally, did not praise Li Dequan, nor reprimanded him.

"Your Majesty, the eldest elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, and Miss Ruoxi ask to see you!"

At this time, a little eunuch came in to report.

"Let them in!" Kang Mazi said.

After a while, several princes walked into the pavilion: "Sons, slaves and maids, see Huang Ama and the emperor." ”

"Flat." Kangxi Road.

"Xie Huang Ama." The elder brothers thanked him, and then they all stood up.

Kang Mazi saw that all the sons were coming, and asked, "How are you preparing?" ”

"Report to the emperor Ama, the sons and several royal brothers have arranged the affairs of Wanhualou properly, at this time Wanhualou ambushed nearly a thousand people, and after the heaven and earth will rebel into Wanhualou, the army stationed outside Guangzhou will also enter the city to kill the rebels."

The eldest brother reported that he was the head of the princes and was responsible for communicating with Kang Mazi, although the fourth, eighth, and several people did not accept him.

He is also the most unlikely prince to ascend the throne, he was only born to a partial concubine, and the son is more expensive than the mother, he is not as good as the fourth child, and he is not as good as the prince.

"Haha, good!" Hearing the eldest brother's report, Kang Mazi stroked his palms and smiled, and said: "Today's battle will definitely level the Heaven and Earth Society, and return me to a bright future." ”

Thinking that the Heaven and Earth Society, which had been fighting against the Qing court for decades, was about to be eradicated, Kang Mazi sighed again: "If this Heaven and Earth Society is in the open, even if they have millions of members, I am not afraid, but they are hiding in the shadows, and they are not afraid of death. ”

"As the saying goes, if the sky wants it to perish, it must be made crazy first, a few days ago, that Zhang Yong frantically slaughtered my Qing Dynasty heroes, and even killed my beloved son, they dared to stand in front of the stage from behind the scenes, which was the precursor of their demise."

"Congratulations to Emperor Ama, congratulations to Emperor Ama!" A group of princes slapped their ass.

Kang Mazi said with a smile: "If this matter can be successful, then our first hero is Ruoxi, if she doesn't prescribe the right medicine, then Mu Lidao people will not abandon the secret and surrender to Qing, and when this matter is over, I will seal Ruoxi as Gege." ”

After being praised by Kang Mazi, Ruoxi's little face was flushed, as if she was drunk, and her brain was a little dizzy.

Her style attracted the attention of all the princes, and even Kang Mazi couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Then aren't we going to call you Ruoxi Gege in the future?" Among Kang Mazi's sons, there are fourteen elder brothers, the youngest and the most naughty.

"Humph!" Ruoxi pursed her lips and gave the fourteenth elder brother a roll of her eyes, and her actions caused everyone to laugh again.

Suddenly, Ruoxi seemed to think of something, and said to Kang Mazi: "Your Majesty, Ruoxi has something unclear, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"Little naughty ghost, you say it, if you say it wrong, I will punish you for giving me a massage for a month!" Kang Mazi said with a smile.

"Hmph, the emperor will bully people." Ruoxi pursed her lips again, but she didn't dare to roll her eyes at Kang Mazi.

"When Ruoxi followed a few elder brothers to decorate Wanhualou today, I found that our soldiers used spears and broadswords, but none of them were equipped with muskets, but I saw muskets in our treasury, and I took them out to use them at the sticky rod last time, so why not equip them with muskets? And I think that in the future battlefield, muskets will inevitably become the mainstream on the battlefield. ”

Ruoxi told Kang Mazi about this new discovery, and she looked forward to attracting Kang Mazi's attention, if so, her status could reach a higher level in Kang Mazi's heart.

"Have you used the musket in the treasury?" Hearing Ruoxi talk about the musket, Kangxi's face turned pale, and it was indescribably ugly.

For a while, the time in the entire pavilion seemed to stand still, seeing Kang Mazi's face change, several elder brothers didn't even dare to take a breath, Ruoxi's little face turned white, and she also realized that she had said the wrong thing, but where the mistake was, she didn't know at all.

Fortunately, at this time, the fourteenth elder brother helped Ruoxi relieve the siege, and he suddenly pointed in the direction of Wanhualou and shouted: "Huang Ama, look, Wanhualou is on fire......"
