Beijing, Forbidden City, Cining Palace.
It’s time for Emperor Kangxi and old lady Bumu Butai to whisper again!
But unlike in the past, the people who gathered together to whisper this time were Bumu Butai, Kangxi Xiao Mazi and Sumala Gu. The emperor's brother, Prince Yu Fuquan, was demoted one level this time, from "Cining Palace" "Speaking" was downgraded to "watching outside Cining Palace".
Wang Zhongxiao, the first-class guard and head of the sticky pole, has now advanced to the position of rubbing shoulders with Fuquan. He is now sitting on the steps outside the main hall of Cining Palace with Fuquan and Guanyinbao to watch and talk!
However, Fuquan was "the best brother-supporting demon in the Qing Dynasty", and he was not unhappy at all because he was assigned to look after others. He happily discussed with Wang Zhongxiao and Guanyinbao about going to raid Ao Bai's house the day after tomorrow!
"Datou, Oboi's house should have been confiscated a long time ago, but the Emperor thinks of you and your Amma, and he also knows that you and your Amma are both upright officials with little savings, so he took advantage of this good job. , just waiting for you to come back from Shanxi.
Let's do this. Tomorrow you go to Mingzhu to look at the house. He is also the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is responsible for the granting of the title.
The day after tomorrow, you come back to Sticky Post to pick up the errands, and later you have to hand over all the errands at Buku to Guanyin Bao. Guanyin Bao is also successful this time. The emperor is planning to expand Buku Department into Shanpu Camp. By then, Guanyin Bao will be the leader of Shanpu Camp! "
"This is all the grace of the emperor and the promotion of the prince." Guanyin Bao added with a smile.
"That's why you did your job well!" Fuquan said to Wang Zhongxiao again, "Shikai, the day after tomorrow I will take you and Guanyin Bao, plus your Amma, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Duolong with me. Loot Oboi’s house!”
"This is a great favor. Oboi must be very rich, right? Uncle Fu, you think we are greedy, how much is appropriate..." Wang Zhongxiao, who was returning from Shanxi again, heard what Fu Quan said and took He looked like he was a thief with a guilty conscience, talking about corruption while looking around, looking very down-to-earth.
"Guanyin Bao, you are familiar with this matter. Please tell me." Fuquan turned to look at Guanyin Bao.
Guanyinbao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Aobai himself has no money. This old guy is very ambitious, so he doesn't love money very much, and he is not very lustful. In addition to the salary, rewards and customs given to him by the imperial court, he has no money." The rents given to Tian are ordinary Tanjing, Bingjing, etc... His Duke's Palace is very grand, and the expenses cannot be saved. If he can save one hundred and eighty thousand, it will be as high as the sky."
"One hundred and eighty thousand...it's actually quite a lot." Wang Zhongxiao looked disappointed - of course he was pretending! Of course he believed it when he said that Ao Bai was not corrupt and had no money. But to say that there is no "treasure" that can be exchanged for big money in Aobai Mansion, that's hell!
Guanyin Bao laughed and said: "One hundred and eighty thousand is not much, and there are still many people to share, but... that's just a small head!"
"That big head is..." Wang Zhongxiao looked interested.
"Of course Datou is Obai's accomplice!" Guanyin defended, "If Obai dies, the emperor will most likely come to arrest only his best comrades and not ask about his subordinates. But Oboi can't be found now... .This is a big deal! Those corrupt officials who usually go to Obai frequently, I am afraid that none of them will be able to eat or sleep during this time!"
Wang Zhongxiao put on a sympathetic expression again, shook his head and said: "It's no good if you can't eat or sleep...it's so pitiful. Your Majesty, you are kind-hearted, do you want to help them?"
Fuquan nodded and said, "Isn't that right? I am a kind man...but how should I help them?"
Guanyin Bao said: "Your Majesty, this... heart disease needs heart medicine!"
"Heart medicine? What is heart medicine?"
"Of course... you rewarded them with money!" Guanyin Bao said, "This is not a bribe, but to help them cure their heart disease. Because the real best friend of Obai will definitely not run away, no matter how much you give, My money is in vain. The people who need your help to cure their heart ailments are all those officials who are in favor of others. This Obai has been in power for so many years, and he seems to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. It is normal for the officials below to go to him. Really It would be bad to worry about this matter, and be frightened to death in the end. Your Majesty, by reluctantly accepting their money, you saved their lives, and you also saved the officials who were doing the work for the court. You have accumulated virtue. , and he was loyal again."
King Yu Fuquan said with a smile: "To accumulate virtue and be loyal at the same time...that is a good thing!"
"Yes, yes, that is a great thing!" Wang Zhongxiao quickly agreed, "My lord, you are so kind-hearted, you should do more of such good things."
"That's natural," Fuquan smiled and looked at Wang Zhongxiao and Guanyin Bao, "We will do it together when the time comes... If you two come forward, I will support you!"
...
While Fuquan, Wang Zhongxiao, and Guanyinbao were discussing how to cure the heart ailments of those officials who were fawning over Obei, in the main hall of Cining Palace, Emperor Kangxi was about to suffer from a heart ailment, and his heart ailment was not easy to cure. .....Because his heart disease is called "Obai wants to harm me"!
"Aunt Sumala, did you really get this from our Emperor Ama?"
Emperor Kangxi looked at the court clothes, court beads, and waist badges that belonged to Obai in front of him, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, this slave got this from the Supreme Emperor with his own hands... In addition, according to the 'Big Arhat' who accompanied the Supreme Emperor, Obai did not enter the Qingliang Temple gate at first, but just cried outside the gate for most of the night. Then he left his court clothes, court beads, and waist badges and left on his own."
Kangxi asked: "Leave on your own? Aunt Sumala, is he telling the truth?"
"This..." Aunt Sumala said, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has achieved the fruit of Bodhisattva. He will not lie. Others will..."
"Hmph! What kind of Bodhisattva fruit? Sumala, you are the only one who believes in him!" the old lady Bumbutai said angrily, "Except for the Eighteen Arhats and a few personal novice monks, no one else can see his face at all. Even the people from Qingliang Temple When the abbot went to worship, he could only see his back. So when he said he didn’t see Obai, he probably meant that he didn’t see Obai!”
"I didn't see... Aunt Sumala, is that true?" Kangxi asked Aunt Sumala again, "This time you went to Qingliang Temple, did you see the face of our emperor?"
Aunt Sumara shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this servant cannot enter the Bodhisattva's Dharma eyes, and can only see the back of the Supreme Emperor."
Hearing Aunt Sumala's words, Kangxi also believed in his heart that it was his Ama Shunzhi who arranged for Obai to escape from the pursuit of Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao and his son - Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao were not to blame for Obai's escape. .
Kangxi was deceived by his own mother, how could he blame others? Although this little pockmarked boy is unfaithful and unfilial, he is not without his merits. For example, he has the courage to take responsibility and is not good at passing the blame. This time the fault lies with his unfilial Amma, who cannot blame the loyal minister.
"But, but why would I do this?" Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but complained.
That was Batulu Obai, the number one in Manchuria!
If we can't catch this, will Kangxi be able to sleep peacefully in the future?
"Why? Huh!" Bumbutai snorted again: "It's your Ama who did this... He even did the ridiculous thing of not wanting the emperor to become a monk, and why? Is there anything ridiculous that you can’t do?”
That's right... being an emperor is much happier than being a monk. If you don't become an emperor and become a monk, isn't that unhealthy?
If you encounter a mentally ill Emperor Ama, where can you go to reason with him?
Kangxi also sighed: "What should I do?"
"Hmph!" Bumbutai glanced at his grandson, "What are you afraid of? Xuan Ye, now that you have the power, are you still afraid of Ao Bai, a lost dog? What's the use of his high kung fu? Wasn't he also beaten by a group of children that day? Smashed away with bricks? Now that you have a court, civil and military officials, and the whole world, are you still afraid that you can't dig out this traitor Obai?"
"That's right!" Kangxi clapped his hands, full of confidence, "Even if this traitor Oboi turns into ashes, I will dig him out!"
"In addition," Bumubutai said, "Qingliang Temple should also be watched carefully... The Eighteen Arhat monks guarding there now, although they are all old white-armored soldiers, one can serve ten, but they are old after all. Yes, the number is too small. If Obai secretly gathers his gang members to go to Qingliang Temple to rob people, there will be big trouble!"
