In the South Study Room of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi was shocked!
This time it was a big surprise! Not a big surprise!
Because Fuquan and Wang Zhongxiao had just reported to him a piece of bad news that frightened him - Ao Bai had defected to Wu Sangui!
Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, the evidence submitted by Wang Zhongxiao - the letters between Wu Sangui and Ao Bai, the letters between Wu Yingxiong and Ao Bai, and Wang Zhongxiao's analysis based on these letters are very reasonable. of.
Thinking of the consequences of Obai and Wu Sangui, Kangxi Kang Mazi was really angry and anxious, his face trembled with pockmarks, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Old thief Ao Bai is the number one in this dynasty Sinner, his crime is extremely heinous! Wu Sangui is the second sinner in this dynasty, his crime is unforgivable... I will kill them all!"
It's not okay to kill everyone in the family...Wang Zhongxiao thought to himself: My little Tudo is also from Wu Sangui's sect. You little pockmarked guy still want to kill Xiao Tu? How evil!
"Your Majesty, calm down... Your Majesty, I still have many loyal ministers in the Qing Dynasty!"
Before Wang Zhongxiao started to persuade Kang Mazi to be kind-hearted, Yu Wang Fuquan, the number one "helping brother devil" in the Qing Dynasty, knelt down before Kang Mazi, "Your Majesty, even in Wu Sangui's family, there are still people who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly. , if you kill him, you will not only disrespect his loyalty, but it will also be detrimental to Ping Wu and Capture Ao."
"Wu Sangui's family?" Kangxi was still angry and snorted coldly, "You are talking about Wu Yingxiong, the traitor, right? Although he is Wu Sangui's traitor, he cannot be considered a loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty. He is a loyal minister of Obai. !”
"Your Majesty," Fu Quan said, "I think Wu Yingxiong Zhongde is the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor. The reason why he wrote to Ao Bai instead of you, the Emperor, is because Ao Bai held the emperor and the princes hostage. In Ao Bai When Bai was in power, there were many Manchurian ministers who attached themselves to Ao Bai, not to mention Wu Yingxiong, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong and others?"
Emperor Kangxi seemed to be moved by Fu Quan's words, and turned to look at several bachelors and bachelors from the Third Academy of Internal Medicine who were standing in the South Study with hands down and shoulders down. Before the success of Kangxi's rebellion, the main job of the bachelors and bachelors of the three inner academies was to draft edicts in accordance with the decisions of the meeting of kings and ministers.
After Kangxi defeated Obai and took over the power, the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs was sidelined, while the "secretary office" of the Third Inner Court made progress and regained the right to consult and make suggestions - the little emperor was only fifteen years old. , and being raised in a deep palace since childhood, how much insight can he have? Don’t we have to rely on the advice of a group of old foxes, bachelors and bachelors, to manage national affairs?
So at this time, all the bachelors of the three inner academies include Jin Batai and Wei Yijie from the Inner Secretariat, Dui Kana, Suo'etu, Wei Zhouzuo and Du Lide from the Inner Secretariat, Tu Hai, Jiang Hede, etc. from the Inner Hongwen Academy. Li Fei, plus a scholar from Neihongwen Academy who was particularly trusted by Kangxi, were all waiting in the south study room, accompanying Kangxi to receive Fuquan and Wang Zhongxiao.
Seeing Kangxi's eyes, Nalan Mingzhu was the first to leave work and knelt down: "Your Majesty, your servant Nalan Mingzhu has something to say."
Kangxi nodded, "Mingzhu, tell me!"
"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Wu Yingxiong, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong are available!" Mingzhu analyzed, "No matter whether the three of them were loyal to the Qing Dynasty or Obai in the past, if they want to succeed as king now, they can only be loyal to the emperor. . Because Ao Bai has already taken refuge with Wu Sangui, he can't push Wu Sangui out of power and put Wu Yingxiong on the throne, right? As for Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong, it is difficult for them to rely on Wu Sangui's power to succeed. After all, Ping, Jing and Yungui are not the same. Bordering each other, there is Guangxi Dingfan and many territories directly under the imperial court in between.
As long as Dingfan does not fall into the hands of Wu Sangui, Shang and Geng will only be able to successfully succeed to the throne with their loyal emperor! As for whether they will cooperate with the imperial court to withdraw the vassal after they succeed to the throne, I dare not say...but in any case, if there is chaos in the transfer of the throne within the three vassals, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to the imperial court. "
Kangxi nodded repeatedly. This Nalan Pearl was indeed talented enough to serve as a bachelor! However, one of the bachelor's places vacated by Bamboulshan has been given to Suo Etu. If we want to promote Pearl, is it better to add two more bachelors? Or... Thinking of this, Kangxi's kind eyes swept back and forth from Duikana and Tuhai - the number of bachelor's degrees in the three inner academies requires a balance between Man (banner) and Han, and among the four banners Among the bachelors of the Renmin University, Jinba Tai was kicked back home by Obai because he disagreed with Obai's killing of Suk Saha. Now he has just returned to his post and cannot be driven away. Suo'etu, like Mingzhu, was the hero of capturing Obai, so he could not be allowed to go down.
If Kangxi didn't want to add two more bachelors (two more bachelors would have to be added to balance the Manchu and Han Dynasties), then he could only choose one of Dui Kana and Tuhai to be eliminated...
"Your Majesty, your servant Tuhai is begging for help." Tuhai's reaction was much faster than that of Kanako - he was so guilty!
Previously, with the help of the Empress Dowager and Suo'etu, he barely managed to keep his position as a bachelor, but hadn't Ao Bai defected to Wu yet? This Wu Sangui's threat to the Qing Dynasty is not comparable to that of a "loser". But now that "Wu Ao merges", the Qing Dynasty is a bit in doubt. At the same time, all the ministers in the court who were close to Ao Bai were in danger.
"Tuhai, if you have anything to say, just say it." Kangxi's attitude towards Tuhai was quite kind - he was the loyal minister that his Amma, who had seen through the world, said he would reuse him "on his deathbed"!
Tuhai said: "Your Majesty, I think the method of withdrawing from the feudal vassal that Obai and Ping Xiwang discussed has some merits."
"Do you think Obai's method is good?" Kangxi looked at Tuhai expressionlessly.
Tuhai trembled in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, my servant is saying that Obai's method has some merits... His intention to achieve the goal of withdrawing from the San Francisco feudal clan by supporting the crown prince of San Francisco in advance is indeed a bit Difficult. But it is still very possible to provoke infighting between the father and son of San Francisco and cause chaos in the feudal society. After all, the title of the crown prince of San Francisco has been determined for a long time. They have been in power for many years and have already planted party members!
Once the crown prince of San Francisco gets the imperial edict from the emperor to ascend the throne to them, and with the support of the imperial army, it is entirely possible to cause chaos within San Francisco. Once civil strife breaks out in San Francisco, the imperial court will be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. "
Wang Zhongxiao, who was lying on the floor with Fu Quan to trick Kang Mazi, was halfway through the trick when he heard Tu Hai tell him how to use the Crown Prince of San Francisco to cause trouble. He suddenly felt happy: Tu Hai has something in his stomach! Fortunately, my master Mingzhu wants to work with me to frame him as a traitor. Otherwise, if he gets his ambition, sooner or later he will be a stumbling block for me and other ministers of the Qing Dynasty!
Just as he was thinking about it, Kang Mazi seemed to be interested and asked Tuhai: "Tuhai, do you think I will immediately help Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong, the two princes who are loyal to me, to the throne?"
"Your Majesty, I think we should first find out where Obai went?" Tu Hai is a senior bachelor after all. He is very methodical in handling affairs and planning for the country. He is not as anxious as the young emperor.
"Oh?" Kangxi frowned, "Do you think Ao Bai didn't go to Wu Sangui's place?"
"Your Majesty, I also think that it is more likely that Ao Bai will take refuge with Wu Sangui," Tu Hai said, "but it is only a possibility... After all, it is thousands of miles from the capital to Yunnan. Something happened on the way. He could not save his son. Moreover, once Obai surrendered to Wu Sangui, he would be determined to go against the emperor and the court. His family, relatives and friends are all here with the emperor, don't they want them all? Maybe he is just hiding somewhere, waiting for the emperor. Have mercy and forgive his death penalty..."
This Tuhai is indeed a traitor! Wang Zhong said with a filial heart: "Now that things have come to this, you still dare to speak for Ao Bai. What a traitor!"
Kangxi was silent for a while and whispered to himself: "If Obai is really hiding somewhere, I would be willing to pardon him... But if Obai really goes to Wu Sangui, how should I deal with it?" ?”
Tuhai said: "Your Majesty, I think... if Wu Sangui and Obai really get together, then it is best to slow down the withdrawal and reduction of the vassal. If it can be delayed until Wu Sangui and Obai die of old age Then our Qing Dynasty will be stable. Of course, the court cannot do nothing and wait for Wu Sangui and Ao Bai to die of old age."
"What should the court do?" Kangxi asked.
"The slave thinks that the imperial court should be invincible first, waiting for the enemy to be victorious, and the invincibility of the imperial court lies in defending and being trapped! As long as the imperial court can defend Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangdong, it will trap Wu Sangui in Yunnan and Guizhou, and at the same time support Wu Yingxiong. When Wu Sangui dies in old age or undergoes internal changes, we can wait until the enemy is invincible."
