"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Parliamentary Prince, the Minister of the Guard, the Master of the Imperial Court and the Prince and the Prince, the first-class public has arrived."

As the fat man Duolong's loud voice sounded, Kangxi and Fuquan in the south study next door to the Qianqing Palace both cast encouraging glances at each other - we are good men who love Xinjueluo, and we are not afraid to worship such chaotic ministers and thieves!

After making eye contact with his brother, the little emperor Kangxi took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried to squeeze out a bright smile on a hemp face, and then shouted: "Xuan!" ”

Then I saw that the curtain at the door of the south study was lifted, and a strong man, who was quite rare among the Manchurians, walked in with a big stride. This walking posture looks arrogant and domineering, and there is no king!

Walking so domineeringly, of course, is the first Batu Lu Ao Baiao Taishi in Manchuria, although this old man is almost sixty years old, but his body is still strong, an old face is full of white beard like horizontal flesh and steel needles, and his two eyes are always staring, looking at everyone is vicious. But his old thief is not comparable to Dolgondo Amma, who is obedient Amma! And he is still a slave of Emperor Kangxi, so he has to kneel and bow after seeing Kangxi, and shout loudly: "Slave worship, please Lord Sheng'an!" ”

Although he shouted "Respectfully Saint Ann", his voice was not at all disrespectful, and it sounded like thunder, which was really arrogant and domineering!

Although the little emperor Kangxi hated it in his heart, his pockmarked face smiled like a flower, and he said with a smile: "Master Taishi, please get up, little Guizi, bring a chair for the Taishi, and then serve tea to the Taishi." ”

"Huh." Xiao Guizi, the personal eunuch with Kangxi, answered, and waved to the three little eunuchs who were guarding the south study, and the three little eunuchs slipped out quietly, and after a while, two of the eunuchs moved a eunuch chair for Ao Taishi, and the other eunuch was holding a tray with a tea bowl on the tray. The Taishi chair was placed behind Aobai, and the tray was in the hands of Xiao Guizi's father-in-law, who personally held it in front of Aobai and said diligently: "Taishi, please sit, please use tea." ”

Ao Bai was not polite to Kangxi, so he sat down on the chair, feeling a little thirsty, so he took the tea bowl and drank a big sip.

Kangxi asked Ao Bai with a smile at this time: "Taishi, it's so hot today, is there anything important for you to enter the palace in the afternoon?" If it's not a big deal, just submit it to the Council of Ministers of the King for discussion...... I still want to fight with King Yu for a while! ”

Hearing Kangxi say fighting crickets, Yuwang Fuquan immediately felt like a drama spirit, and took out a bamboo tube for crickets and played with it in his hand.

Ao Bai saw that the little emperor looked useless, and he was a little disappointed in his heart. I think that when the old master, Emperor Taizong, was about the same age as Jinshang, he had already helped Lao Khan to preside over household chores, and managed the daily affairs of the family, financial revenue and expenditure in an orderly manner, especially in terms of money, and the fake accounts were done seamlessly...... Neither the old Khan nor the Zhubeil could see that something was wrong. But what about today? I know that fighting crickets, shooting rabbits, and doing some strange arithmetic problems are not good at all.

Thinking of this, Ao Bai sighed, and took out a gift post from his sleeve pocket, which was sent to Beijing by Wang Fuchen's subordinates day and night - the copy of the fold to Kangxi was also delivered together, the rules of the early Qing Dynasty, the fold and the post do not have to go through the post, just send their family members or subordinates to send it up.

"Your Majesty, look at this." As he spoke, Ao Bai handed the gift to Xiao Guizi, and Xiao Guizi took it to Kangxi.

Kangxi took out Wang Fuchen's letter from the envelope and pretended to look at it. The content on the post is similar to that in the recital, all of which say that Wu Sangui has recently expanded his army frantically, and has incorporated the feudal army under his command and Ding Yu of the Green Battalion into the army and stepped up drills. It is also said that because of the shortage of food and salary, the number of soldiers is insufficient, and the people's hearts are fluctuating, and there are still remnants of the Ming Dynasty in the army to deceive people's hearts. It was all thanks to the combination of Wang Weien of Pingxi that he barely maintained the situation......

Kangxi finished reading the post, and asked with a puzzled face: "This Wang Fuchen's post has reached the Taishi's side, what about his performance?" Why didn't you see it? Doron, have you ever received it from the guard's stall? ”

"Your Majesty," Fat Duolong hurriedly replied, "Wang Fuchen's box was delivered yesterday, and it was personally sent to the south study by the servants. ”

"What?" Kangxi was stunned, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Gonggong Gui next to him hurriedly pointed to a pair of folds on the imperial case in front of Kangxi and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, when you were in a hurry to shoot rabbits, you asked the slave to open the box first, take out the folds and put them on the table." ”

"Is there one?" Kangxi had a surprised expression.

"Your Majesty, let the slaves find it for you." Xiao Guizi said.

"Look, find."

Xiao Guizi answered, so he pretended to flip through the pile of folds, and sure enough, he took out a fold and handed it to Kangxi with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is it." ”

Kangxi took the fold and took a look, that's right, it's the one he stuffed in just now!

"There is really a ......" Kangxi smiled awkwardly, "I was negligent, fortunately there is a master, otherwise it would be a mistake!" By the way, Taishi, this Wang Fuchen said for a while that Wu Sangui supported the army and respected himself, and then said that if Wu Sangui didn't press the people below, there would be chaos...... What a contradiction! What does that mean exactly? Is this Wu Sangui a loyal minister or a rebel? ”

Sure enough, it's a child......

Ao Bai listened to Kangxi's words and smiled gently: "Your Majesty, Wang Fuchen's meaning is very clear, that is, Wu Sangui supports the army and adds money!" ”

"Want to add money?" Kangxi frowned deliberately, "Yungui's money was intercepted by him, and the imperial court subsidized him with three million taels a year, why are you still not satisfied?" ”

"Your Majesty," Ao Bai said with a smile, "Yungui is a poor place, and there is not much oil and water to be scraped." In the process of Wu Sangui's pacification of the southwest, he did collect many soldiers and horses of the remnant Ming, Li Chuang, and Western thieves, although we only gave him 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, but the number of people who needed him to settle was more than 100,000. The military expenditure of three million taels a year is indeed not enough. ”

Kangxi frowned deeply, this Ao Bai actually helped Wu Sangui speak! Are they in the same party?

Thinking of this, Kangxi asked again: "100,000 soldiers seem to be a lot...... Taishi, will this Wu Sangui rebel? ”

Ao Bai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, whether this Wu Sangui will rebel or not, the slave is not sure." After all, Wu Sangui has 100,000 troops and sits in Tiannan, so it is not surprising that he has a heart of disobedience. However, as long as the slave is in the day, our Daqing Dynasty is not afraid that he Wu Sangui will not be a minister, he dares to rebel, and the slave will lead the army to destroy him! ”

Kangxi asked: "Taishi, are you going to go out to fight Wu Sangui?" ”

Ao Bai shook his head: "Your Majesty, isn't Wu Sangui still anti-yet?" When the first emperor named Wu Sangui as the king of Pingxi, he had agreed to lead Tiannan and rest with the country. Now that Wu Sangui's generation is not finished, it will be destroyed, which is too chilling. Now Wu Sangui just wants money, just add some to him. ”

You're all in the same party!

Kangxi was so angry in his heart!

Add money? That's my money! Do you want to take it all?

Although he was angry, Kangxi was able to be numb and not surprised, which is called joy and anger.

Kangxi, who was not surprised, then inquired with Aobai: "Taishi, how much should we add to him?" ”

"Add a few hundred thousand," Ao Bai thought for a while and said, "Wu Yingxiong sent someone to the slave mansion yesterday to inform him, saying that his third brother Wu Guogui set off from Yunnan more than two months ago, and he should arrive in Beijing City in another ten days and half a month." At that time, the slave personally went to talk with Wu Guogui, and tried to control the total military expenditure allocated by the imperial court to Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in the eighth year of Kangxi to 3.5 million taels of silver. ”

Kangxi sighed, his numb face was full of helplessness: "Hey, three and a half million is three and a half million...... Anyway, I have silver in the Qing Dynasty! Master, you have to do this for you. ”

"Minion Command." While receiving the order, Ao Bai pondered in his heart: The emperor is really still a child, and it seems that the Qing Dynasty still has to rely on me, an old and strong loyal minister, to support him......
