    The words were divided into two parts. Just as the ten brothers were chatting secretly about the secrets of the court and the government, Xu Yuanmeng was returning to Changchun Garden to pay Kangxi's decree.  The emperor had been away from the palace for several months and had just returned to Changchun Garden at the beginning of the month. Since the death of the empress dowager in the twelfth month of last year and the funeral at Cangzhen Gate, Kangxi had been seriously ill. His foot disease was so severe that he could not walk, and his mood was extremely bad.  And because the Empress Dowager Zi's funeral was in the palace, the congratulatory banquets were all stopped. Even on New Year's Day this year, Kangxi never stepped into the palace again.

    When Xu Yuanmeng saw Dan Ningju entering the house to see An, although the soothing incense was lit in the Nuan Pavilion, there was still a faint smell of herbal medicine. He could still tell that the emperor had just taken the medicine, and Kangxi was leaning forward with his eyes closed.  On the big pillow in front of the kang, his face was thin and haggard, his complexion was gloomy, and his energy level looked very bad.  He was one year older than Kangxi, and was a childhood classmate and an old imperial attendant. Later, he was appointed to the upper study room as the prince's tutor, and he was highly trusted.  It's just that he was a pedantic and straightforward person by nature, and he was really unreasonable at all in common government. He was not convicted for court affairs, but because of his stubborn temper, he repeatedly contradicted him, and the emperor repeatedly beat him for decades.  Xu Yuanmeng had not seen Kangxi for a long time. From the time when the emperor exempted him from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to sending him an errand to govern Zhejiang, and then to returning to Beijing to appoint the Ministry of Works, he was summoned alone like today. It was rare in the past few years.  Pass.  For him, all he wanted in his heart was that Sheng Gong was in perfect health. He was so resolute in his determination to kill in the past. How could he have known the situation in the past few years?  Seeing this situation, Xu Yuanmeng couldn't help but feel great sadness in her heart. However, she couldn't express her feelings freely in front of the emperor, so she had to hold back the sobs in her throat and persuaded her earnestly, "I hope that your master will be sad and work hard".

    Kangxi was getting older, and he felt sleepy every time he took medicine. He closed his eyes for a rest that day. He heard movement and opened his eyes to see Xu Yuanmeng. Then he remembered that he had sent him here on purpose.  , and then seeing the worried look on his face, he smiled and passed by, raised his arm and pointed at the kang, "I really don't have the strength to move, and you are not a foreign minister. This is how we, the king and his ministers, talk.  . Don¡¯t worry, I can¡¯t just serve the Imperial Grandmother and the Empress Dowager for a while.¡± When Xu Yuanmeng panicked, he sat sideways on the small stool, put his hands on his knees, and looked at him with awe and concern.  Kangxi just said, "My master is blessed with profound blessings and will surely be blessed by heaven." Kangxi interrupted again, "Generally speaking, if you teach people with different thoughts, it will sound very different. When I think about it, I  I mourn for the Empress Dowager, who is even more ill. There are empty words and clich¨¦s like this to cover up solicitude. There are so many words on the brochures that come in every day, and there are so many people saying goodbye to each other in person, I am really disgusted with them. Humph, I don¡¯t even know about these.  What is the intention of people, "It is better to save labor and simplify administration." What kind of labor should I save and what kind of administration should I simplify? If the ministers really have the intention to serve me sincerely, then my sick body can be regarded as one or two cares.  "

    "Slave" Although the emperor's words had little power and were spoken very slowly, there was a harsh meaning in every word. Even though he was not talking about him, Xu Yuanmeng felt cramped at the moment.  He didn't dare to sit down anymore, so he got up and stood with his hands solemnized. He was about to apologize, but Kangxi still waved his hand, "It was you who brought it up and I got involved in these idle articles. You don't have to follow the rules.  I want to ask you something more, sit down." "Hey." Xu Yuanmeng sat down again, and Kangxi then said, "You just came back, so I can't help you to go on this mission. Except for Zhao Shenqiao,  There is really no suitable person at the moment" When mentioning Zhao Shenqiao, Kangxi just snorted contemptuously, and then asked, "Do the ministers have anything to say?"

    "That's not true." Xu Yuanmeng also knew that the emperor obviously hated this person very much, and he didn't want to mention it anymore, so he just said he hadn't seen him and turned back.  It was just that his young companion knew that Kangxi had a deep temper. Just one look at him could tell that the emperor was hesitant. Therefore, before Kangxi could ask questions, Xu Yuanmeng added, "The master issued the decree at the end of last year, fifty  The remaining years of hard work and hard work in governance are so hard and lonely, but the ministers and workers are still unable to work together and repay the sincerity. The slaves wait to listen to the will, and then they can fully appreciate the sincerity of the master's hard work. They are ashamed and shameless.  All these ministers are afraid of their power and virtue, and they are more aware of their admonishment. Now that Zhu Dune and his son are testing the law with their own bodies, it is not because the master is punishing them for not teaching them."

    Xu Yuanmeng's words were euphemistic. Although Kangxi was comforted, he was still disdainful, "There are always some evil people who deceive me into treating my ministers with kindness and indulgence, and then they make trouble without thinking about life and death. You must know that I will not hesitate to kill! Zhu Zhu  What is Tianbao? How did he know that Yin Reng is a benevolent, filial piety sage? Since he wants to seek fame and fortune, I will help him." "Master" The emperor was moved by what he said, and so was Xu Yuanmeng.  Shocked, he couldn't think of how to comfort him, but the emperor asked him another difficult question. Kangxi sighed deeply, "I fear most that I will not be blessed in this life. If I don't issue a posthumous edict in advance, I'm afraid that future generations may not be able to do so."  It is a helpless act to know that I am lonely. You still have time to return. How dare I slack off for a day? I may seem to be an emperor, but it is the most difficult test of fate. You have also been the master of these brothers.  Can you tell me what they are capable of?"

      At the beginning of these words, Xu Yuanmeng had already left his seat and knelt down. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "How dare I interfere in family affairs and state affairs. When the master asks about the slave, the slave should serve the king with sincerity. Master, these  The elder brothers who have been trained for many years, firstly, follow our old Manchu customs, civilized and martial arts, and they are all pillars of the imperial court. Secondly, they take the Han Dynasty as a warning and do not make the children of the clan become pampered and useless people. The master has trained me well, and all the elder brothers  Each has his or her own merits, but to be honest, let's talk about competition" Xu Yuanmeng swallowed the word 'reserve position' and did not dare to say it. He said instead, "Competing for power in the future, I'm afraid you guys will let it go.  Although it is long, it cannot be as far-reaching as it is.¡±

    "Huh? Why?" Kangxi asked in an understatement, which made Xu Yuanmeng even more uneasy. He secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, swallowed for a long time, and then said bluntly, "Ah  Even if I can earn some power, compared with the loyalty of the people in the country, how can I compare with the personal teaching of the master? I think the second elder brother has everything except the sacred heart of the master; the other one  Brother, he has nothing, but if he is the master of these slaves in the future, he must have won the master¡¯s sacred heart.¡±

    "Then you are saying that because I deposed Yinzhen, the cause of the chaos came from me?" Kangxi curled his fingers and tapped the edge of the kang lightly, seeming to be talking to himself and asking him  .  "I don't dare¡ª" Xu Yuanmeng couldn't distinguish this. For a moment, he was sweating through his heavy clothes, and he was frightened. Then he kowtowed and went down. He saw Kangxi stroking his right leg that was still in pain, frowning and sighing.  He said, "I do have regrets. Today's situation is half due to me. I should not have established this prince in the first place. Yin Jian is in front, and the Han people rule the world. There are so many disputes over the succession, all because of the abolition of the direct descendants and the establishment of younger ones, and chaos.  Liao Gangchang. I think the princes thought that since the legitimate eldest son was deposed, everyone would have a share in the throne. Since they had no respect and reverence in their hearts, they would have no father and no king, and would be uneasy about their duties Humph, they  That¡¯s right, this is common sense.¡±

    The emperor was very miserable and angry, and his words were full of helplessness. Finally, there was a gap in his words. Xu Yuanmeng hurriedly kowtowed his head and apologized, "I am always a slave with low morals. He failed to live up to his master's expectations that day and is not enough to help him."  Teach me brother." "Yinreng is a self-inflicted evil, no different from others. He stood in front of me and insulted you that day, like a madman. It shows that he has no virtue at all?" Kangxi impatiently interrupted Xu Yuanmeng, seeing that he was completely unlucky.  Knowing what he meant, Kangxi looked at Xu Yuanmeng, who had white hair and beard, and shook his head. He didn't want to say anything more, but just said, "It's a good thing to learn some Chinese writing. Who would have thought that you would become a bookworm with all your thoughts."  The Han people are pedantic and conservative. But according to what you said, it¡¯s not bad that my brother¡¯s power should be given to me personally - well, the Fourteenth General Wang led his troops to go on an expedition, and I want to give him a grand ceremony." Kangxi's eyes stopped at Nuange's  On the top of the hall, he thought silently, "If God gives me ten years to live, then I can calm down the outside world and make peace with the inside. I should be able to do everything calmly. It is not difficult to do it."
