The Deer and the Cauldron 鹿鼎记 Episode 40

Shi Lang reported the news of Chen Jinnan's death to the emperor. The emperor was angry that Zhao Liangdong and Zhang Yong released Wei Xiaobao and arranged for them to search Wei Xiaobao one island from the south to the north. Zhang Yong grabbed him with his guards, and Duke Wen gave the emperor's handwritten letter to Wei Xiaobao. When Wei Xiaobao opened the handwritten letter, he saw several paintings, and tears filled his eyes with excitement. Coupled with the fact that he knew that the emperor was about to get married and decided to leave for Beijing immediately, who knew that Wen Gong Palace = Gong told him that the emperor asked him to wipe out the rest of the Tiandihui, and Wei Xiaobao was curious about the consequences of not returning with the imperial decree.

Wei Xiaobao sent Grandpa Wen to leave, hoping that Zhang Yong would help to speak to the emperor. Loyalty and righteousness cannot be achieved, so he had to repay the emperor's great virtue in the next life, and took Zhang Yong's sword and decided to commit suicide. Su Quan stepped forward and snatched his knife, reminding him not to go too far in the play. Zhang Yong saw that he was so righteous and decided to return to Beijing to intercede for him.

Jianning, A Ke, and Su Quan are about to give birth. Shuang'er and others are taking care of the three of them. Jianning is curious to tell why Su Quan, a martial artist, is not painful when he has a child. As soon as his voice fell, he heard Su Quan shouting. Wei Xiaobao said that he was waiting for their good news outside the cave, but he saw a ship coming from a distance. Zhao Liangdong brought his guards to protect Wei Xiaobao and the others. Wei Xiaobao was curious about Zhao Liangdong's intention. It turned out that the emperor sent them food.

Wei Xiaobao inquired about the emperor's attack on Wu Sangui. It turned out that they had lost the battle one after another. Wei Xiaobao hoped that he would speak to the emperor and ask for orders to attack Wu Sangui. Zhao Liangdong told Wei Xiaobao that the emperor had already known his thoughts, and once again asked him to kill the people of the Tiandihui.

The emperor learned of Wei Xiaobao's situation on the island, and knew that he was unwilling to destroy the Tiandihui, and thought that Wei Xiaobao valued love and righteousness. At night, the emperor sat on the steps of the South Study Room, with no one who could talk around him, missing the days when Wei Xiaobao was by his side. And Wei Xiaobao, who was far away on the island of All Eat, looked at the stars and missed the emperor.

Three years later, the emperor was anxious that his ministers discussed Taiwan’s abandonment issue. Prince Kang believed that Taiwan was a small place, lonely overseas, and prone to thieves. There was no reason for the imperial government to control it. He suggested that the generals and civilians migrate to the mainland. Long also agreed with Prince Kang's opinion. Mingzhu believes that Taiwan’s problems have to wait and see.

After retiring from the dynasty, the emperor told the queen dowager about the Taiwan issue, who thought that Taiwanese residents moved to the mainland and worried that the people would not return. The emperor worries about who to send to govern Taiwan.

Wei Xiaobao sat in front of Chen Jinnan's tombstone and cried out over the past few years that he had learned to slap fish, kill fish, steam fish, and fry fish. He felt like vomiting when he thought of fish. At this time, Shuang'er ran over to spread the word, and the court came. Shi Lang passed the decree to Wei Xiaobao. After Taiwan was recovered, Taiwan returned to the Qing Dynasty. Wei Xiaobao was given the title of second-class take-all, and the crown prince was named Taibao. Wei Xiaobao's eldest son, Wei Hutou, was the first-class captain of light vehicles. When Wei Xiaobao heard that Wu Sangui had been defeated, Taiwan had recovered, and he was depressed that he would be useless in the future.

Wei Xiaobao invited Shi Lang to dinner, and Princess Jianning served food and wine for them. Shi Lang said that Taiwan had just settled down and the people's hearts were unstable. If he wanted to play the emperor, he asked Wei Xiaobao to announce his support. Wei Xiaobao claimed that he had no travel plans in the near future, and Shi Lang hoped that Wei Xiaobao would go to Taiwan with him so that everyone would not suspect him.

Wei Xiaobao took four wives to Taiwan, leaving three wives and children in the capital. Jianning was pleased that Wei Xiaobao was very reliable this time.

The emperor received the six hundred li rush, knowing that Shi Lang had transferred the warship to Taiwan, and was happy that Wei Xiaobao and Shi Lang went there.
