"Zu Zeqing gave me another discount!"
Emperor Kangxi looked helpless and picked up the secret document that Zu Zeqing had just sent to Beijing, and said to a group of ministers in the South Study Room: "He said in the document that although he fled without fighting in Guangdong, after arriving in Guangxi He also seized the vassal banner of Princess Dingnan's Mansion, and also took over important government offices such as the Guangxi Governor's Office, the Guangxi Admiral's Office, and the Dingnan General's Office... He also sent troops to occupy Cangwu, the capital of Wuzhou, and Pingle, the city of Pingle. , Lingui, the capital of Guilin, and Maping, the capital of Liuzhou, and also sent troops to blockade Huangsha Pass and Longhu Pass, the key passes between Hunan and Guangxi. But he is still loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he is still my loyal slave!
He also said that now the generals in Guangxi are gone, the admirals are gone, and the whereabouts of the governor are unknown... So he wants to be a general guarding Guangxi and guard a piece of Guangxi for me and the Qing Dynasty! Do you think this Zu Zeqing is a loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty? "
How could this Zu Zeqing be so shameless?
The ministers in the South Study were all shocked by what Emperor Kangxi said!
This guy has already occupied four prefectures and expelled the governors, feudal lords, gentais, and xuetai of Guangxi. He has also driven away all those who stayed in Guilin and Liuzhou from General Dingnan’s Mansion and Ma Xiong, the Admiral of Guangxi! Things have come to this point, how can you still show your loyalty to the emperor and ask for the title of General of Guangxi?
"Your Majesty, my servant Suo'etu thinks that Zu Zeqing is still a loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty!"
Tu Hai is not here, and Jin Batai, the second greatest scholar in Zhonghe Hall, is a Han military flag again. Therefore, Suo'etu, the bachelor of Baohedian, became the number one among the bachelors. Of course, he had a lot of say in the issue of Zu Zeqing's loyalty and disloyalty.
And he also understood Emperor Kangxi's thoughts, so as soon as Kangxi's question was raised, he was the first to come out and set the tone.
"How can he still be considered a loyal minister when he's like this?" Emperor Kangxi seemed to disagree with Suo'etu's view. He frowned slightly and glanced at Nalan Mingzhu, who had just been transferred to the Ministry of War.
But before Mingzhu left work and knelt down, Suo'etu continued Kangxi's question: "Your Majesty, I think that with the relationship between Zu Zeqing and Wu Ni, we can maintain a position of defending ourselves and dealing with three sides. As far as the Qing Dynasty is concerned, I am considered a loyal minister. Moreover, Wu Ni's troops are about to break out of Yunnan and Guizhou and enter Hunan... The contact between the imperial court and Guangxi may be interrupted at any time. If the imperial court does not give Zu Zeqing a Guangxi now As for the title of general, when Baoqing Mansion and Yongzhou Mansion in Hunan are occupied by Wu Ni, the imperial court will not be able to confer the title of Zu Zeqing even if it wants to."
Emperor Kangxi snorted: "If the Guangxi general who works with me doesn't get out early, why will he get it in his hands?"
Suo'etu said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor...the imperial court established Banfan in Guangxi, wasn't it just to win over the old Dingfan tribe? And to win over the old Dingfan tribe, wasn't it just to let them contain Wu Ni and isolate them at the same time? Is there any contact between the two vassals, King Pingxi and King Pingnan?
Although the Pingfan vassal in Guangdong is almost gone now, if the false Prince Zhu and Wu Ni work together, the harm will be greater, so it is good to have Zu Zeqing to intervene in Guangxi to block Wu Ni. "
Emperor Kangxi asked: "With his ancestor Zeqing in Guangxi, Wu Ni and the fake Prince Zhu are not on the same page?"
Suo'etu smiled and said: "That's of course... Since ancient times, Guangdong and Guangxi have been integrated. If the false crown prince Zhu takes Guangdong, and the road to the north and east is blocked by Wu Ni and King Jingnan, then the false prince The third prince Zhu will definitely develop in Guangxi. And Zu Zeqing is Wu Ni's cousin. Once he is forced by the fake third prince Zhu, he will definitely turn to Wu Ni for help. If Zu Zeqing can get to this point, he can compete with the Warring States Period It’s time to compare with Feng Ting, the loyal minister of Han!”
Feng Ting was the governor of Shangdang County who was unwilling to cede land to Qin and instead pulled Shangdang County to seek refuge with Zhao. Because he upheld the party and surrendered to Zhao, it triggered the Battle of Changping. Although Zhao was defeated, Qin also suffered heavy losses. What Feng Ting did should have the effect of delaying Korea's demise. For South Korea, of course he is a loyal minister.
Kangxi nodded slightly and said in his heart: "This makes sense. But... how much money did you receive from the ancestors for asking for Etu?"
"Mingzhu, what do you think?" Kangxi did not make a decision immediately, but still sought Mingzhu's opinion.
"Your Majesty," Mingzhu immediately left work and knelt down, "I thought that the settlement of accounts can be left to the Queen of Autumn. Whether Zu Zeqing is loyal or rebellious can be judged after the court has wiped out the two gangs of traitors Wu Ni and the fake Prince Zhu. .... Now it is better to grant his request and give him a chance to redeem himself."
"So you also collected money!" Although Emperor Kangxi was clear-eyed, now was indeed not the time to settle accounts with Zuze.
"Then issue an edict clearly," Kangxi said, "and make Zu Zeqing the general and general manager of Guangxi... let him have the final say in matters in Guangxi!"
"Your Majesty!"
When the ministers below heard what Kangxi said, they all shouted "Sheng Ming" together... It is estimated that the ancestor's family has already taken care of everything.
Emperor Kangxi sighed, picked up another question book, and said to the people below: "This is the question book submitted by Prince Pingnan... The two kings of Pingnan died for the country on the same day. They are really loyal to the court! We must provide generous compensation and must not chill the hearts of our loyal ministers!"
Kangxi paused and then said: "In addition, King Pingnan is a loyal family, and the court cannot let the inheritance of King Pingnan be cut off..."
As soon as he said this, his father-in-law, Gabra, hurried in again - because of a "head-explosion incident", Gabra squatted at the Gate of Supreme Harmony every day to look at the gate in person. He had to unpack all the question books and secret folders and check them, but he didn't want to send a bomb in and blow up the little holy Lord Kangxi!
And if Gabra found any particularly bad news during the inspection, he would come to report it personally... So Emperor Kangxi felt a little psychological shadow when he saw his father-in-law.
However, the Holy Lord's psychological quality is still very good. Although there are shadows in his heart, he is calm and calm in appearance.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Gabra came in a hurry and saw Kangxi kowtowing and breathing heavily.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly if you have something to say." Emperor Kangxi smiled and said to his father-in-law... No matter how panicked you are, you can't show your timidity on face!
"Your Majesty, Prince Pingnan has arrived at the Gate of Supreme Harmony."
Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Xuan, Xuan, let him go to the palace!"
Gabra seemed to have something to say, but at the moment he didn't know how to say it. Kangxi was afraid that he would report any bad news unexpectedly, so he quickly sent him away: "Go quickly, I'm still waiting to see Prince Pingnan! "
"嗻!"
When Gabra heard what Kangxi said, he hurried away again. After a while, I saw Gabra coming in with a tall man wearing mourning clothes and a seventh-grade sesame official.
Of course it was Shang Zhidian who came. Shang Zhidian's sons were busy attending to the funerals of their father and grandfather at this time and had no time to come to Emperor Kangxi to ask for the title of heir. And people don’t dare to fuck King Pingnan anymore... I’ve already fucked two King Pingnan during this time! Who dares to do it again?
Besides, if Shang Fan's army and territory are gone, where can he go to pacify King Nan?
Emperor Kangxi was so busy these days that he didn't recognize Shang Zhidian. He only thought that this guy was a bit old and didn't look like Shang Zhidian's son. So he blurted out and asked: "Your Majesty, why are you so old?"
As soon as he heard this question, Shang Zhixin burst into tears... He was so wronged! I have been kept in a prison car all this way, sleeping in the open air, and being frightened. How can I not grow old?
Thinking of this, he knelt down to Kangxi with a plop, "Slave Shang Zhixin knew that he was guilty, so he felt guilty and couldn't sleep at night, so he grew old..."
"You are Shang Zhixin!" Emperor Kangxi then realized that the person coming was Shang Zhixin, and he immediately became angry, "Here comes someone!"
"嗻!"
The imperial guards guarding the door rushed in immediately, looking at Shang Zhixin angrily, waiting to take someone away.
But they waited and waited, but did not wait until Emperor Kangxi issued an order to arrest the people.
Because Emperor Kangxi was already staying there... The little Holy Lord suddenly realized that he didn't know what serious crime Shang Zhixin, the bastard, had committed?
He seems to be innocent!
Not only was he not guilty, he also exposed Wu Sangui's collusion with Prince Zhu. He was a meritorious official!
"Shang Zhixin," Kangxi finally spoke, "you, you are so loyal...tell me carefully, how did you discover that Wu Sangui, Wu Yingxiong and Prince Zhu were colluding?"
