Chapter 70: The foreign god stick Tang Ruowang, sure enough, can pinch and calculate!
Gao Xianda was suddenly promoted, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. He knew www.biquge.info mission was not as simple as it seemed.
The Minister of Honor and Guard is a fictitious position, mainly responsible for the honor guard of the emperor's travels. If Kangxi didn't have any travel behavior of worshiping the heavens and ancestors, he would have no work to do. The arrangement of this position for him is nothing more than to promote him to a proper official title.
Later, he was promoted to the post of deputy minister of the guard, and appointed a deputy commander of the cavalry battalion. These two positions are both deputy positions, but they are also from the first and second ranks, and they do not need to stay in the post. He was given this title so that he could justifiably command the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards and the Cavalry Battalion.
But the common feature of these three positions is that even if he is not in the capital, there is no difference, so he is very suitable to greet Wu Yingxiong as a minister. It can be said that these three official titles are for him to complete this errand.
But then again, even though it is said to be greeted with heavy troops, there is no need to bring more than 2,000 people...... It's not going to war!
But Gao Xianda only has Xie Zhu Longen.
After retreating from the court, Gao Xianda escorted Kangxi back to the upper study. This time, there was no Suo Etu and Prince Kang to follow.
Suo Etu was promoted to a member of the National Academy of History, but at this time, the Council of Ministers system was still in force, so the scholar was not the prime minister. But it's also a great job. And he is also responsible for counting Aobai's family property, so he is very busy.
And Prince Kang is similar, in order to control the power as soon as possible, he was supervised by the Ministry of Officials, urging him to complete personnel changes to ensure that nothing happens.
At this time, there were only Kangxi and Gao Xianda in the study, and Kangxi said: "Ruidong, what do you think about your promotion this time?" ”
Gao Xianda said: "The emperor's wisdom and foresight, how can Wei Chen ponder? ”
The meaning of this sentence is: I don't know, I know I don't say!
Kangxi said: "Don't talk about vision, only put forward opinions." Don't you think there's anything wrong with this personnel change? ”
Gao Xianda said: "Weichen is ignorant and doesn't see any problems. If you insist on saying it, Weichen just feels that the number of people who went to greet Wu Yingxiong this time is a bit too much. Now Guotai and Min'an, not to mention the scope of the capital, even the area of Zhili and Tianjin are also very safe, and there are no large-scale bandits. If it is used as a messenger, there is a team of three or five hundred people, which is already considered a mighty one. Why send two thousand? ”
Kangxi smiled: "That's the problem." You call yourself stupid every time, but you can often see the crux of the matter. ”
Gao Xianda said: "Weichen is indeed stupid. ”
Kangxi said: "Sending you to pick him up this time is still a cover. In order to show the importance we attach to the King of Pingxi, as well as the luxury of the scale of security. But the ministers also said before that the bandits of the Heaven and Earth Society have been very rampant recently......"
Gao Xianda said: "We have sent so many people, if Wu Sangui's heir still has three longs and two shorts, he will always complain about us." ”
Kangxi nodded and said, "The three feudatories and Zheng Shi have always been not harmonious, even if they cooperate, they are driven by interests. If we can get Wu Sangui to attack Taiwan with determination, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
Gao Xianda said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will let Mao 18 release the news that Wu Yingxiong is going to Beijing." Don't worry about the anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society. ”
Kangxi said: "I don't need him to do the news, I have my own arrangements." You should do more preparation these days and go to the Riding Camp. King Pingxi's subordinates are like clouds, and this time they are sending the prince here, and I am afraid that they are all the top masters. I know you are invincible and fearless. But if you only rely on those charlatans, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed. ”
"Wechen understands." Gao Xianda hurriedly said, "I'll take advantage of these few days to pick some good hands among the guards and give them some special training." Mission completion guaranteed! ”
"You do things, I don't worry." Kangxi said.
At this time, Gao Xianda remembered one more thing, so he knelt down and said: "Qiqi Sheng, Weichen has a reluctant request, I hope you can agree." ”
"Tell me about it." Gao Xianda Road.
"There was a missionary from Germany in my court, named John Tong, who served as the chief supervisor of Qintian in the court. Later, when Ao Bai came to power, he was framed by traitors and sent to prison. Gao Xianda said, "Wechen hopes that His Majesty can be gracious and release him. ”
Kangxi thought for a while: "Teacher Tang, I still remember." When Ao Bai wanted to kill him, I persuaded him to change it to imprisonment. Why, isn't this old man dead? He's got a bit of a job. Ruidong, I'm ready for your recital! Go to the prison and let him out. If he is old and foolish, give him a hundred taels of silver, and let him go home and retire. If he is still sane, he will be promoted to a five-grade superintendent, and let him build a cannon with Nan Huairen. ”
"Obey the order!" Gao Xianda Ledao.
Gao Xianda received the holy decree and came to the prison. He was wearing a military attache uniform, and he was wearing a first-class hat, and he was holding a holy decree in his hand, who would dare to stop him? When the jailers saw him, they all nodded and couldn't stop saying good things.
Gao Xianda ignored them, didn't look at them with his eyes, and spoke with his nose, and said, "Take me to see John Tang, Lord Tang!" ”
The bigger the shelves, the more afraid these villains are. If they said it was John Tang, they couldn't remember it for a while, but as soon as they mentioned that it was a foreign old man, they immediately remembered it and took Gao Xianda inside.
Nan Huairen also had a spot in prison. Although the conditions in the prison were a little worse, John Tang still lived in a single room, and the environment was relatively clean.
He even made an exception and got some pen and paper that he could use to write the music. But John Tang knew that it was not the emperor who locked up him, but Aobai, and it was useless to write a chapter. He used all the pen and paper to calculate formulas.
When Gao Xianda saw him, the old man was still very energetic, and he was sitting on the ground, where he was calculating formulas.
Gao Xianda said: "Teacher Tang, what a Yaxing!" ”
Tang Ruowang glanced at Gao Xianda, but he was very calm, and said, "Aobai has fallen? ”
When Gao Xianda heard this, his eyes lit up, could this old man be able to tell fortunes?
He jokingly said, "How do you know I'm not here to kill you?" ”
Tang Ruowang smiled: "I'm just a petty official who calculates the calendar, and I'm also old." If you want to kill me, you don't need to send an official of your size, it's enough to have a servant spread the word. Since such a big official as you is here in person, it must be that the little emperor needs me to go out of the mountain to do things for him. Fortunately, you came early, and if it's a little later, I'm afraid my old bones won't be able to support it! ”
"Teacher Tang is really extraordinary," Gao Xianda laughed, opened the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Order Tang Ruowang to be the supervisor of the five-grade firearms, and make the Shenwu cannon with Lord Nan Huairen, there must be no mistake!" Chin this! (To be continued.) )
