Imperial City, Xiyuan, Yingtai Island.
A thin little emperor, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a pockmarked face, was taking a walk while looking at the water of Taiye Pond, sighing in a low voice... He was worrying about the country and the people, no, It's hard for you to think of a warrior!
Behind the little emperor, there were a few less fierce loyal ministers, including the little emperor's brother Fu Fuquan, the little emperor's uncle and the second-class imperial guard Tong Guowei, the little emperor's confidant Suo Etu, the Pearl, and the commander-in-chief. Xiao Guizi, the eunuch of the wind. In addition to Bumbutai and Sumalagu, the key members of the "Kang Mazi and Bumbutai rebel group" have all gathered on Yingtai Island today.
Seeing the troubled look on the little emperor's face, Mingzhu approached him with a serious face and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon, Wang Zhongxiao came to the slave's house to pay homage to his wife."
"What? Wang Zhongxiao went to your house to see your wife?" The little emperor stopped, looked back at Mingzhu, and asked curiously, "Were you at home when he went? Could it be..."
While the little emperor was talking, Tong Guowei and Suo'etu, two old acquaintances of Wang Fuchen, couldn't help but look at Mingzhu's hat...
Mingzhu was also stunned. Although he also knew some of Wang Fuchen's romantic affairs when he was a guard for the late emperor, he still had absolute trust in his wife Wu Linzhu! So after being stunned, Mingzhu handed the sealed box that Wang Zhongxiao gave him to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, this is what Wang Zhongxiao gave to his slave, and he asked the slave to deliver it to you, Your Majesty."
Kangxi took the box and looked at it, his brows tightened, "Is this... Wang Fuchen's secret book?"
As he spoke, Kangxi handed the box to Little Guizi's father-in-law: "Open it."
"嗻."
Father-in-law Xiao Guizi responded, took the box with both hands, peeled off the seal very smoothly, took out the memorial inside, and handed it to Kang Mazi with both hands. Kang Mazi unfolded the memorial and read it for a while, Mayan was already shocked.
The content inside this secret book is really shocking! It turns out that Wu Sangui really wants to rebel!
When encountering such a big thing, it is impossible to remain calm and calm with Kang Mazi's bottomless city. If it were one of those emperors who couldn't hide too many things in their stomachs, they would have started shouting on the spot.
However, the young Emperor Kangxi pondered for a long time, and Mayan had already regained her composure. He asked Mingzhu: "Does Obai know?"
"I probably don't know," Mingzhu said. "According to Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Fuchen did not send a report to Grand Master Ao this time."
Kangxi nodded, handed the secret fold to Little Guizi's father-in-law, and ordered: "Hide it, no one is allowed to see it!"
Now all the slaves except Mingzhu were surprised - what did Wang Fuchen report? Why didn't he submit the memorial to Ao, and why did the emperor hide the memorial? Could it be that Wang Fuchen was cursing Oboi in the secret room and still wanted to help the little emperor "rebel"? Could it be that Wang Zhongxiao, who kicked Guanyin Bao over, was sent by Wang Fuchen to help the young emperor capture Oboi?
"Your Majesty, this servant thought that Wang Zhongxiao could be used!" Although Mingzhu didn't see anything from Kangxi's facial expression, he still boldly recommended Wang Zhongxiao. He continued, "Although Guanyin Bao beside King Yu is also good at martial arts, He is too honest, too loyal, but not ruthless enough, so he is not a good candidate. On the other hand, although Zhongxiao is young, he has been training with Wang Fuchen in front of the Yunnan Army since he was a child, and he also went to the battlefield to pacify the Miaoman. He is very capable. They are all real swords and guns..."
"Yes, yes," Uncle Fu also said, "Your Majesty, I have inquired with Brother Yin and Xiaobaozi. This boy Wang Zhongxiao has been bad since he was a child. When he fights with other children in the alley, he keeps doing all kinds of dirty tricks. , is a well-known little devil. As long as he is not from Wu Sangui, your Majesty, you can use him."
Kangxi nodded and whispered: "It seems that Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and his son are not Wu Sangui's people... It's a pity that only one has come now. If Wang Fuchen can also come to Beijing, it will be a sure thing."
When Kang Mazi was thinking of finding an excuse to call Wang Fuchen to Beijing, a little eunuch suddenly came flying along the path on Yingtai Island. Xiao Guizi hurriedly went up to meet the little eunuch. They exchanged a few words in a low voice, then turned around and ran to Kangxi, saying in a low voice: "Master, I'd like to see Master Ao. He said that there is something to be said for the salary negotiation at Prince Hepingxi's Mansion."
"Okay!" Kangxi smiled, "I'm just looking for him! Let him wait outside the south study room."
"嗻."
...
"Slave Aobai respectfully greets the Holy Ann..."
"Pingshen, Pingshen, Xiao Guizi, quickly move a chair for Grandmaster Ao."
"嗻......"
"Master, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
"I thank the Emperor for sitting here."
In the south study room, there was another politeness of kindness and loyalty. Seeing that Grand Master Ao Bai Ao had already sat down on the chair in a swagger, Kang Mazi asked with a smile: "Grand Master, just now when I was shooting rabbits in Xiyuan, Xiao Guizi came to report that it was peace with the West Prince's Mansion to discuss the salary. To get the result... how much discussion did it take?”
Oboi sighed, "Your Majesty, this servant is incompetent, so we negotiated for 3.4 million."
"It's okay, it's okay," Kangxi said with a smile, "It's one hundred thousand less than three and a half million! If Wu Sangui can really be content, the money will be well spent."
"Your Majesty, you are wise." Obai complimented Kang Mazi.
Kangxi then changed the topic, "But... I have received many memorials these days, and I have also heard some rumors that Wu Sangui is going to rebel!"
"My lord, don't worry, they are all rumors," said Obai, "King Pingxi is already old and will be able to bounce around in a few years. How can he still have the energy to rebel? We only need to raise him for a few more years and wait for him If he dies, he can let Wu Yingxiong succeed him as the new King of Pingxi. This Wu Yingxiong is a idiot. Even if he is kidnapped by his men to rebel, he will not succeed. If the emperor really wants to deal with the Wu family of Pingxi King, just tolerate Wu Sangui for a few more years! "
"What does the Grand Master think of the two memorials given by Wang Fuchen?" Kangxi then asked Obei again.
Obei was stunned, "Your Majesty, Wang Fuchen has only submitted one memorial recently!"
"Only one copy?" Kangxi started to be cute again, "There are obviously two copies...Xiao Guizi, go and get the box containing Wang Fuchen's memorial. I want to look for it."
"嗻."
Xiao Guizi responded and exited the south study room, and returned shortly after holding a box. Kangxi opened the box and actually took out two folds from it - the so-called folds were actually folded pieces of white paper.
Kangxi picked up one of the folds, unfolded it, and said with a smile: "This is one... then this is the other..." As he said that, he took out another fold, After looking at it, he said, "Hey, this is a gift card... Master Ao, this is the gift card you brought last time. Somehow it got mixed into the book."
Oboi smiled and said, "I must have forgotten to retrieve it last time."
Xiao Guizi next to him said quickly: "Your Majesty, this servant was negligent."
Kangxi waved his hand with an indifferent expression, "Just be careful next time...Xiao Guizi, please step aside first!"
"嗻."
"Master, please take this notice back, lest Xiao Guizi makes a mistake again. He is stupid and illiterate... Look, it's folded up like a memorial. This stupid thing can be done." Pretty careful."
Kangxi returned the report to Ao Bai. He watched Ao Bai take back the report with a smile, as if he was laughing at him for being such a confused emperor, but he already knew in his heart that Wang Fuchen really did not write "Wu Sangui wants to rebel" in the report. He handed it to Ao Bai - this shows two problems. First, Wang Fuchen believed that Ao Bai and Wu Sangui had a deep collusion, and he was worried that the notice handed to Ao Bai would change hands and be sent back to Yunnan; second, Wang Fuchen had already communicated with Ao Bai, Wu Sangui and The emperor made a choice between himself and obviously surrendered to the emperor.
Since Wang Fuchen's surrender was sincere, Kangxi, who now had few people available to him, would naturally not push out Wang Fuchen, who was wholeheartedly seeking refuge. However, it was not easy for him to draw the two tough men Wang Zhongxiao and Wang Fuchen to his side without making Obai suspicious.
However, this was not a problem for Kangxi. He thought for a while and said to Ao Bai: "Grand Master, since the salary negotiation at Hepingxi Prince's Mansion has been finalized, there should be no trouble in the salary negotiation between the four vassals next year, right?"
"Your Majesty," Oboi replied, "Ping, Jing, and Ding do not have high requirements for military pay, and they have always been easy to talk to. It is Wu Sangui who is difficult to deal with."
"In this case, I want to go to the western suburbs with Wu Yingxiong, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong and Kong Sizhen in three days to hunt rabbits to show the court's favor to the four vassals... Master Ao, how about you? Come together too! Let them see how powerful Batulu is, the number one in Manchuria!"
After hearing this, Obai was a little bit dumbfounded. Is Batulu the best in Manchuria so good at hunting rabbits?
However, the little emperor opened his mouth, and he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you let the slaves pick a few good players from the imperial guards to go with them, and let them compete with the people of the four vassals to see who can kill more rabbits?" ?”
"Okay! Let's do it!"
