Chapter 345: Tuhai Calculations
After Liang Jiugong returned to the Qianqing Palace, he still looked like he was not giving up when he was serving Kangxi, and Kangxi saw it in his eyes. I was also a little puzzled by Liang Jiugong's abnormality.
Liang Jiugong has been with Kangxi for so many years, so he is also a lot more tolerant of Liang Jiugong Kangxi, so Kangxi asked directly: "Liang Jiugong?" I see that you are not giving up, what is the matter? β
After Liang Jiugong heard Kangxi's question, he suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The slave is guilty, the slave just heard Lord Tuhai's emotion, and he felt something for a while." β
When Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong so literate, he couldn't help but feel funny, and asked, "What insights did you get from Tuhai's words?" β
When Liang Jiugong heard this, he directly kowtowed to Kangxi a few times, and said tragically: "Long live the master, the slave thinks that Prince Gong is there, you have to guard against it!" β
Kangxi is also a smart person, and he immediately heard what Liang Jiugong meant, but after understanding, Kangxi's anger rose directly, picked up the inkstone at hand, and smashed it directly on Liang Jiugong, and said angrily: "You dog slave, you dare to instigate the royal flesh and blood, am I treating you too well?" β
Liang Jiugong didn't dare to dodge, and the inkstone was stunned and rubbed past the corner of Liang Jiugong's forehead, leaving a bloody mark.
Not to mention how Liang Jiugong was happy, but Kangxi calmed down. He asked coldly, "Who told you to say this?" Tuhai? β
Seeing this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly said: "Emperor Mingjian, this is all for the sake of the master!" β
Kangxi saw that Liang Jiugong's face was bleeding, and his heart softened a little, and then thought of what Tu Hai said in front of him just now, Kangxi found that not only Liang Jiugong, but even Tu Hai seemed to vaguely express this meaning.
It's just that Kangxi felt that Chang Ning had always been a gentleman and had never thought about it this way, so he ignored Tuhai's prompt.
Kangxi still felt that there was something wrong just now, after all, Tuhai was cautious by nature, and suddenly made such a big mistake, how could Kangxi feel suspicious. Kangxi was thinking about whether Tuhai had other selfish motives!
At this time, Kangxi finally understood why Tuhai didn't care about the queen at all, and went directly to the palace to meet him.
As for why Tu Hai said it so vaguely, Kangxi also understood Tu Hai's concerns, after all, Tu Hai was able to tell Prince Gong for the first time that it was already in a disadvantageous position for the queen, if he suspected Prince Gong of rebellion, then Tu Hai and the queen would have no place to stand!
Kangxi doesn't think that his Qianqing Palace is very clean, if Tuhai's words are spread, the situation can be imagined.
And he himself would not have believed Tuhai's words so much. At that time, he may doubt Tuhai's intentions.
Kangxi was even glad that Liang Jiugong suddenly mentioned this stubble, otherwise he would probably really ignore the past, if Chang Ning really colluded with Wu Sangui, Kangxi didn't dare to imagine what kind of situation he would fall in!
After Kangxi figured it out, he also appreciated Liang Jiugong's actions very much, thinking that Liang Jiugong was full of loyalty, so he took the risk to tell him.
So Kangxi softened his face and said to Liang Jiugong: "Why don't you go down quickly and let Tai heal the wound on your head, is it possible that you don't want to be an errand in front of me in the future?" β
Liang Jiugong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Kangxi: "The slave thinks, the slave will go to see the imperial doctor!" β
After speaking, Liang Jiugong hurriedly retreated with a happy face. But a dark cloud appeared on Kangxi's face.
When there was no one in the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi shouted to the shadow of the Qianqing Palace: "Secret guard! β
In the Qianqing Palace, where Kangxi was only one person just now, another person's shadow appeared, and this person knelt down and said, "The slave is here!" β
Kangxi said with a gloomy face: "Order the guards to monitor Prince Gong's mansion, and report any situation to me!" β
Hearing this, the dark guard responded, and said, "The slave obeys!" Then the guard quietly retreated.
Looking at the back of the secret guard leaving, Kangxi secretly said in his heart: "Chang Ning, don't let me down!" β
Tuhai, who returned to the palace, was also relieved after hearing the news from the Qianqing Palace in the palace.
To tell the truth, this matter was done by Tuhai himself from beginning to end, and the so-called inadvertently discovered that the chief butler of Prince Gong's Mansion had contact with Wu Sangui's people, and it was also true.
However, this was not discovered by Tu Hai by accident, but Tu Hai found out about this matter after receiving Yun Yao's report and staring at Prince Gong's mansion for a short time.
With this incident, Tu Hai was also convinced of Yun Yao's words. Tu Hai had long known that Yun Yao had some mystery on him, but it was enough for Tu Hai to know that Yun Yao was still his niece, so Tu Hai was not ready to tell anyone about Yun Yao's abnormality, and all the letters between Tu Hai and Yun Yao were destroyed by Tu Hai.
After learning from Yun Yao about the involvement between Chang Ning and Wu Sangui, Tu Hai had suspicions, just as Liang Jiugong said to Kangxi, Tu Hai even suspected that Prince Gong and Wu Sangui had formed an alliance.
However, after several investigations, Tu Hai found that Prince Gong should not have formed an alliance with Wu Sangui, but just in case, Tu Hai still vaguely complained to Kangxi.
After Tu Hai found out that Kangxi didn't seem to suspect Prince Gong's intentions, he added a fire in front of Liang Jiugong and asked Liang Jiugong to bring it up again in front of Kangxi. After all, Tuhai didn't want to set himself on fire.
When Tu Hai learned that Yun Yao wanted him and his children to use this information to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield in the future, he couldn't help but feel that his niece was still a little naΓ―ve.
There are always traces of these things after they are done, even if there is no evidence, but as the emperor, it is enough for the emperor to suspect in his heart, why the queen's family knows the movements of the enemy on the battlefield well, the emperor is likely to suspect that they have made a deal with the enemy.
After all, no one would have thought that there would be someone like Yun Yao who could know what was going on.
And the person who is suspected by the emperor is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the family and the queen, Tuhai is extremely old, so he naturally will not make such a mistake. Therefore, Tu Hai made up his mind not to use Yun Yao's strategy, and also explained the reason in the letter, Tu Hai believed that Yun Yao would understand the power.
However, although Tuhai can't take advantage of these opportunities to make meritorious contributions, it's not useless for Tuhai.
Since Tu Hai knew that Prince Gong would be disgusted by the emperor in the future, but at the moment, the emperor intended to tie Yun Yao and Prince Gong together, so he had to let Tu Hai act.
From Yun Yao's letter, Tu Hai found that Prince Gong was just a person who had more than enough success and not enough failure, and such a person would not be good to him and Yun Yao at all, so this time Tu Hai simply cut off the possibility of forming an alliance with Prince Gong.
However, Tu Hai still left a gap, after all, Yun Yao in the palace is still raising Prince Gong's eldest daughter, if Prince Gong is really wronged in the future, Tu Hai will not hesitate to let Yun Yao use Prince Gong's eldest daughter to give Prince Gong a favor, there is always one more strong opponent in the clan.
