Kangxi is here!
In fact, Kangxi had already arrived!
Before Wang Zhongxiao and Xiao Guizi went to the island, he had been discussing the rebellion with Fuquan and others in the Yingxun Pavilion on Yingtai Island for a long time. Knowing that Wang Zhongxiao and Xiao Guizi were coming, he led Suo'etu and Mingzhu to hide aside, and asked Fuquan and Guanyinbao to "perform" first.
Kang Mazi has now found a master who is not inferior to Obai in martial arts, and that is Wang Zhongxiao. Although it may not be possible for Wang Zhongxiao to compete with Ao Bai in real kung fu, he will cheat. No matter how good his kung fu is, he is still afraid of being plotted!
However, relying on a master alone cannot guarantee that Oboi will be assassinated. Because there must be experts around Obai, there must be more than one. Moreover, Obai is the minister in charge of the bodyguards and controls the bodyguards department. There must be someone from Obai among the guards at Qianqing Gate who are responsible for the security of Qianqing Palace. There must also be members of Oboi's gang in the guard stall outside Qianqing Gate.
If Ao Bai ambushed in the south study room, Ao Bai's people would immediately rush in to support him. By then it will be hard to say whether Kangxi’s rebellion plot will come true...
Therefore, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, Kangxi had to form a relatively large rebel team. At that time, everyone can perform their duties. Some people are responsible for catching Obai, some are responsible for controlling the guard stalls, some are responsible for controlling the Qianqing Gate, and some are responsible for taking over the Jingyun Gate.
Among them, the guard stall is the core of the guard department. The big seal of the minister in charge of the guard is placed there. Once you take the stall, you can use this big seal to order the mobilization and control of the guard troops.
Jingyunmen is the residence of the commander of the Shangsanqi Guards, Jingyunmen. Once he captures the command of Jingyunmen, Kangxi will be able to control the Shangsanbanners and seal off the Forbidden City.
Once the Forbidden City was "surnamed Kang", it would be impossible for Obai's party members to make a comeback.
It has to be said that in the art of rebellion, Kangxi, a younger generation, is a well-deserved master. If Wang Zhongxiao cannot work harder to become a great minister, then the title of the first rebel in the Kangxi Dynasty will undoubtedly belong to Kangxi Kang Mazi's head.
Now, Kangxi, the first rebel leader in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, has gathered the core of the rebel team and is about to start expanding the team.
When the emperor appeared, Fu Quan, Guanyin Bao, Wang Zhongxiao, and Xiao Guizi quickly lined up in a row, performed thousands of rituals, and shouted together: "I respectfully greet you, Holy Ann!"
Kangxi led the two "rebellious ministers" Suo'etu and Mingzhu, and quickly walked into Yingxun Pavilion. He glanced at the core members of the rebel team who were greeting him, and smiled and replied: "I greet you."
Then the rebel Xiao Mazi sat down on the bench where Fu Quan was sitting with his back against the water of Taiye Pond. The people below all got up. Except for Xiao Guizi who stood behind Kangxi, the others, including Suo Etu and Mingzhu arranged the shifts together according to the size of the official position.
Wang Zhongxiao is now a sixth-rank bodyguard, while Guanyin Bao is a first-class palace guard and a third-rank official, so he can only stand at the end. The person at or near the end of the team is usually the one doing the work...
Kang Mazi smiled and said: "Guanyin Bao, Wang Zhongxiao, I wanted to use your competition to have a bet with King Yu before. You two are better off. We decided the outcome without a fight. How can I and King Yu make a bet? You all said Say it!"
Wang Zhongxiao knew that Kangxi wanted to recruit young Kubu, but he couldn't point it out, otherwise he would appear too smart, so he smiled and suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you and Prince Yu play dice."
"Hahaha," Kangxi laughed, "Wouldn't it be better to play horse hanging? I, Prince Yu, Mingzhu, and Suo'etu just sit at the same table."
"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhongxiao immediately started flattering.
Kangxi smiled and said: "Is this a saint? But I don't know how to play mahjong. None of my teachers taught me how to play mahjong or how to play dice, so your method won't work!"
Wang Zhongxiao scratched his head, looking like he was at his wits' end. Kangxi turned his attention to Guanyinbao again: "Guanyinbao, do you have any clever tricks?"
Guanyinbao replied: "Your Majesty, the competition between the slave and Wang Zhongxiao is actually nothing to watch. The slave will definitely win if he is beaten, but he is really inferior to him compared to other slaves. Moreover, the masters are all heavy-handed in their attacks, and they can be divided in one or two moves. High and low. The emperor is not satisfied with watching it!"
Kangxi nodded, "Yes! When you masters compete, you will either fake it or knock one down with one or two moves. It's really boring."
Guanyinbao said again: "How about this? Let the slaves and Wang Zhongxiao each train a group of young people to worship Tang'a for the emperor, teach them how to wrestle, and then let these young people worship Tang'a to compete. These children have not yet developed their strength. If you are successful, your attacks are not heavy and you are more disciplined, so you can compete with all your strength."
Kangxi asked again: "Suo'e and Tu Mingzhu, what do you two think?"
Suo'etu said: "Your Majesty, I think this is a good way to watch the guards. Soon it will be the day to choose the worship Tang'a. From the newly selected young worship Tang'a, you can choose someone with outstanding appearance, intelligence and agility to follow Guanyin to protect peace. Wang Zhongxiao practices the art of Kubu (wrestling).”
Mingzhu added: "Your Majesty, this servant suggests setting up a Kubu Department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and letting the good wrestlers among the guards manage it."
Kangxi pretended to think about it and said: "Mingzhu's suggestion is good, there should be a treasury... I will discuss it with Grand Master Ao later. If the Grand Master has no objection, then set up a treasury." The location is on Yingtai Island. Next month when the disciples of the Eight Banners should choose to worship Tang A, ten people will be selected from each banner, and ten people will be selected from the three banners in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for a total of ninety treasuries. Bubai Tanga!
Suo'etu, Guanyinbao, and Wang Zhongxiao, the three of you will be in charge of Kubu Department! "
...
"What? The emperor wants to set up a Kubu office and select ninety Kubu boys from among the Eight Banners disciples and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who should be selected to worship Tang'a?"
At noon that day, while having lunch with his master Duolong in the guard stall, Wang Zhongxiao told Duolong everything that happened on Yingtai Island. This is not to betray Kangxi, but to leak secrets according to Kangxi's oral instructions conveyed by Xiao Guizi.
When Duolong heard that Kangxi wanted to set up the Kubu Department and recruit ninety Kubu boys, he was suddenly surprised. He looked at Wang Zhongxiao and asked, "Good disciple, does the Emperor want to transfer you to the Kubu Department?"
"Master, how did you know?" Wang Zhongxiao asked.
"Don't ask me how I know this. Tell me, besides you, who else is in Kubu's office?"
"There is a first-class guard Suo Etu, and a first-class guard Guanyin Bao from Prince Yu's Mansion," Wang Zhongxiao said, "There are only three of us now... Master, do you also want to go to Kubu?"
"Me?" Duolong shook his head, "What am I going to do? I am the foreman of the bodyguards of the Associate Councilor of Suiyin, and I am the eldest among the ministers!"
When he said the words "Minister of the Interior", Duolong gritted his teeth!
Wang Zhong said filially: This guard must really want to make progress...but it is too difficult to be promoted from a guard to a minister! The inner minister is the deputy to the inner minister who leads the bodyguard. There are only six senior officials in the first rank. If an internal minister is released to the outside world, he will be on the job of the governor or governor! But this Duolong is not without a chance...
Just when he was thinking about how to help his master improve in the future, Duolong said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Disciple, you must be a little tight on money, right?"
Wang Zhongxiao was stunned, "Master, how do you know?"
Duolong smiled and said: "I understand... Your boy must have spent a lot of money to get this guard, right? And the income of a Lan Ling guard, if there is no windfall, is only a few dollars a year. One hundred taels of silver. Fortunately, we guards often encounter windfalls, and this Kubu place is your windfall!"
"Windfall?" Wang Zhongxiao understood immediately, "Master, do you mean to sell your quota?"
Duolong chuckled and whispered: "These Kubu boys can show their faces in front of the emperor... Moreover, do you think the little emperor recruited these children just to watch them wrestle?"
"Then, why else?" Wang Zhongxiao felt a little nervous.
"Of course it is to cultivate the team," Duolong said, "Once the emperor and his ministers... No matter how strong Grand Master Ao is, he will still have to return this power to the emperor in the future, even if he lasts another ten or eight years. These young men, oh, and you, will all be the emperor's old relatives in ten years! Think about it, how many people in Beijing are eager to send their children to Kubu? If my son is not too young, I also want to find a job in Kubu Baitang! If you, Suo'etu and Guanyinbao become the home of Kubu, ten of the ninety places will be sold to you, right? Disciple, you can You must fight with them, otherwise you will lose this benefit!"
As soon as he heard that he could make money by selling Kubu's quota, Wang Zhongxiao's spirits immediately came to him. "Master, do you think Grand Master Ao can agree to this?"
"It must be possible, it must be possible!" Duolong said, "He is not Dorgon, so why should he block other people's children from wrestling with the emperor? This is blocking his future!
Moreover, even if a group of teenagers became the emperor's team, they would not be able to reach high positions without one or two decades. Ten or twenty years later, even if he, Ao Bai, was not worthy of the Ancestral Temple, he would still be too old to walk, so these children's worship of Tang A did not bother him. If he insists on not giving in, what will the people below think? "
"That's right..." Wang Zhong filial piety said: No wonder Ao Bai was indifferent to Kangxi's training of young Kubu. It turned out that Kangxi had already grasped the thoughts of Ao Bai and the powerful people of the Eight Banners below, and came up with a trick of "yang covering yin". "Conspiracy!
Obai simply couldn’t refuse!
No, I have to quickly discuss with Guanyin Bao to see what price I should put on the name Kubu Baitanga?
