Kangxi looked at the few folds on the imperial case without saying a word, his face was gloomy, and after a long time, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the three ministers who were standing below:

"What did Gao Shiqi say?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister was ordered to go to question, Gao Xiang said......" Zhang Tingyu stood up after hearing Kangxi's words, but, unlike his usual calmness, this time he seemed a little hesitant.

"Say what?" Kangxi asked again.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiang said that he was just passing by the mansion of the eighth elder brother at that time, and when he was thirsty, he went in to ask for a cup of tea, and he didn't mean anything else. It's just that those officials themselves are too guessing to cause this trouble! Zhang Tingyu replied cautiously.

"Asking for a cup of tea? Hum! That's a good reason! He Gao Shiqi was born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, isn't it clear when to do something? …… Even I dare to fool me? Doesn't he want to live? Kangxi shouted suddenly.

"Please calm the emperor's anger!" The three ministers hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, and at the same time they all secretly complained in their hearts.

The whole thing is to blame on Gao Shiqi. On that day, he went to the mansion of the eighth elder brother Yinxi, and he didn't know what he did inside, and it took nearly an hour before he was respectfully sent out by the eighth brother. Moreover, according to eyewitnesses, when Yinxi sent him out, there was a smile on his face that could not hide his excitement. This is certainly a big deal! Who is Gao Shiqi? Upper Study Minister! And he's a shrewd guy to the extreme. Such a person suddenly went to visit the eighth elder brother when the prince was deposed and everyone in the world was watching Kangxi's next move, does this mean that there is still any need to ask? In the middle of the day, the next day, more than a dozen copies of the memora requesting Kangxi to establish the eighth elder brother Yinxi as the prince were sent to the upper study, and the next day, this kind of recital increased to dozens, and due to Kangxi's non-committality, the number of such recitals rose rapidly. The big officials, the small officials, the Beijing officials, and the magistrates...... Originally, after Kangxi knew the ins and outs of the matter, he ordered Zhang Tingyu to go to Gao Shiqi's house to make a decree, let Gao Shiqi "take a vacation", and think about it behind closed doors at home. But. This practice has not been able to stop this trend of inviting the prince, up to now, more than ten days of hard work, the study has received no less than hundreds, just today, there are dozens of books. It is precisely because of this that Kangxi finally became popular, and once again ordered Zhang Tingyu to go to Gaofu for questioning, but he didn't expect Gao Shiqi to give such an inauthentic answer, which made Kangxi even more popular.

"Rest the rage...... What else would you do besides that? Kangxi said angrily: "The prince has just been deposed." You're thinking about taking a picture of your new master's ass? I'm not dead yet! ”

"Servants (ministers) don't dare!" Kangxi's tone was too heavy. The three ministers of the upper study, Rao, had seen countless big scenes, and they were also so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground at this time.

"Enough!" Kangxi burst into a shout, "Zhang Tingyu!" ”

"The minister is here!" Zhang Tingyu hurriedly responded.

"Proposed purpose: Gao Shiqi, the minister of the upper study, has a prominent position. did not obey the holy will, misbehaved, and when the crown prince was abolished, he intended to establish a prince and commit rebellious acts. I should have punished him severely, but I decided to give him a lenient sentence because he had been driving for many years, which was also considered hard work. Gao Shiqi...... Dismissal and resignation, return to the hometown for the elderly, admire! ”

"The emperor's ......" is not only Zhang Tingyu. Hearing Kangxi's will, even Tong Guowei and Ma Qi couldn't help but scream. Gao Shiqi has followed Kangxi the longest among the four ministers in the study now, although the power does not seem to be very prominent, but, because this guy has a smart brain, sees the opportunity quickly, and acts cautiously, so it is easy to become the vane of other ministers. And. has been in the study together for a long time, and Tong Guowei and others also know that on some major issues, Kangxi actually still relies on Gao Shiqi's ability very much. However, now Kangxi actually stopped him as soon as he opened his mouth...... This is also too impersonal!

"You don't have to intercede for him." Kangxi stared coldly at the three people in front of him, "Electing the crown prince is my business, and it is not the turn of others to take care of it." He Gao Shiqi is the minister of the upper study, and he is more than the prime minister! knew that the people's hearts were floating when the prince was abolished, but he cared about his heart and befriended the prince without authorization, intending to make a merit for the election...... This is unfaithfulness and disobedience! If I hadn't been with him for many years, I would never have spared him so lightly! You go to the three of you are also the ministers of the study, the leaders and ministers, it is better not to learn from him, otherwise, Hugh blames my subordinates for not being merciful! ”

"Servants (ministers) don't dare!" was robbed by Kangxi so much, Tong Guowei, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu, and the three of them could only bow down to receive their orders, where did they dare to say anything?

"Zhang Tingyu, you go and pass the decree!" Kangxi ordered again.

"Obey! Retire! Zhang Tingyu bowed and walked backwards out of the upper study.

…… 2

"Anything else?" After Zhang Tingyu withdrew, Kangxi asked Tong Guowei and Ma Qi again.

"Your Majesty, yesterday Sichuan came to the local military report...... I wonder what your will is? Tong Guowei asked cautiously. Gao Shiqi went to visit Yinxi, he was also one of the first people to know, although he has never been very willing to look at Gao Shiqi, but he is very convinced of Gao Shiqi's vision and intelligence, plus he has a good impression of Yinxi, so he once wanted to come over and be the first person to ask for a reserve! It's just that when he revealed this will, he was blocked by Wang Mingdao. According to Wang Mingdao's words, Gao Shiqi is an old fox who has never touched both sides, how could he approach the eighth elder brother in such a "dew" manner? So, there must be something greasy in this! Just in case, this must not be mixed up! Even if you want to get involved, you have to wait for things to come to an eyebrow. And since Gao Shiqi has already taken a step ahead, wouldn't he be inferior if he Tong Guowei followed closely and followed suit? So it's better to take a look first, so that it is not only safe, but also has a momentum of pressing the shaft! He heeded the advice. Although the fold that had been written to request the establishment of the store, it was always carried in the cuff and not taken out. Later, Kangxi punished Gao Shiqi for thinking about it behind closed doors at home, and he, like the hundred officials, felt that this was just a slight punishment for Kangxi for revealing Gao Shiqi's thoughts to the emperor, so he didn't take it to heart. However, since Kangxi is in a bad mood, he is naturally not good at folding. However, now, Kangxi actually directly dismissed Gao Shiqi's official title, and directly added the word "rebellion" to the holy decree. This is a big problem, you know, these two words can sometimes ruin a person's life. Obviously, Kangxi is really angry, not fake fire! Therefore, at this moment, he only felt that his sleeves were heavy, for fear that if he was not careful, the written recital would fall out. In that case, the consequences can be severe.

"The Arabutan thief has a general like Dunduo under his command, and he can be regarded as a character! However, since I have already decided to fight next year, I will never change it. You go and tell Feiyanggu, Sabusu and Yuzhong, let them decide on how to march on their own, and let Feiyanggu unify the military and political affairs of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Khalkha, and tell them that I will never allow Zhun Ge Neng to be arrogant until the forty-seventh year of my accession to the throne! Kangxi didn't pay attention to Tong Guowei, and after thinking about it for a while. He immediately ordered.

"Slaves obey!" , answered. Tong Guowei pulled his cuffs and stepped aside.

"Your Majesty, now that Alabutan has repeatedly offended my Tianwei, the court should crusade against it.

However, after all, this person has already occupied Junggar and Qinghai, and if Tibet is added, the western half of the Qing Dynasty, from Gansu to Yunnan and Guizhou, are all under his prying eyes. Even if the imperial court soldiers are well fed and are not afraid of their attack, but in case that Alabutan does not confront the imperial army head-on, but relies on the land of Qinghai-Tibet to deal with me. I'm afraid that the slave will not be able to overcome the full power of the ancients! Ma Qi saw that Tong Guowei retreated without saying a word, and was dissatisfied, so he hurriedly came up and said.

"I know it. However, the battle still has to be fought, and everything will be seen after the fight! Kangxi sighed and said. Of course, he knew that Qinghai and Tibet were vast, and there was a desert between Ili, where Alabutan was entrenched, and the imperial army. I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch this thief. At that time, I am afraid that there will be another war in the west, and the imperial court will add another big burden. However, if you don't fight, seeing that Alabutan is attacking the city and grabbing the land like a bamboo, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger, this is not a good choice. In any case, he could not have allowed another Gurdan to the west!

"The first time I came to the Li Fan Courtyard, I really didn't expect that the face of this place was actually more generous than the six departments!" ，

Just when Kangxi and the others were discussing things, Old Man Fei also took a sedan chair to the seventh department of the Qing court, outside the yamen of the Li Fan Yuan, and admired the gate in front of him.

"Say hello to the boss, I don't know if you always ......"

Qian Jia was a banner man of the Han Army, and he relied on his connections to get a position as a door official in the Li Fan Yuan. The first requirement of this position is to be able to see people, although I have never seen Old Man Fei, but Old Man Fei's momentum should not be underestimated, especially the "color" of the first-class staff should not be ignored by him, so he greeted him first without waiting for Old Man Fei to take a step.

"Hehe, this little brother is polite! Excuse me, is Alinga here? Old man Fei didn't answer Qian Jia's question, but just asked with a smile.

"Aling?" Good guys, call Ah Da by his name! Where did this old man come from? Qian Jiajiu is in the Li Fan Academy, so he naturally knows what Ah Ling'a is, which can be summarized not only by a first-class master, but really speaking, up and down the court, I am afraid that the four ministers of the study can stabilize Ah Ling'a. The old man who came now actually called Alinga by name, it seems that the origin is not small, and he has to be careful to serve.

"Master Ah is on the board of directors of the Yamen, I don't know what is the matter with the old man you are looking for him? Would I like to give you a small report? ”

"No need! I'll just go in and do it myself! Old man Fei said with a smile, and was about to step on the steps in front of the door. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he took a step, Qian Jia stood in front of him:

"Slow down, sir!"

"What's wrong?" Old man Fei asked.

"Boss, I'm sorry, the Rifan Yuan is different from the Six Divisions, this ...... Miscellaneous people, etc., are not allowed to enter without the permission of the chief officer! Thank you for your understanding! Qian Jia cautiously looked at the nine-foot-tall Agudamu behind the old man Fei, he knew these dignitaries, for fear that his words would make the old man Fei unhappy, and this behemoth would pounce and hurt people, although this is the entrance of the Li Fan Yuan, if the old man Fei did something with him, he would be charged with colliding with the Li Fan Yuan, he was not necessarily afraid, but after all, the opposite side was a first-class master, and it was better not to conflict or not to conflict.

"Haha, interesting! Well, you go and tell Alinga that Ferdinand has arrived and wants to enter the yamen! Old man Fei laughed twice. Again.

"Yes, sir, you ...... What do you say? You say you, you are...... Fei, Fei Shangshu? Qian Jia wanted to say "wait" to Old Man Fei, but he was suddenly so shocked by the word "Ferdinand" that he almost lost his big teeth!

"Like! The emperor didn't seem to have removed me from my post as the secretary of the Imperial Academy, and Old Man Fei replied.

"Oh my god! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, Lord Shangshu, you, don't blame! Qian Jia suddenly cried and begged for mercy from Old Man Fei again and again. It's not good to block anyone. just blocked such a top boss! Isn't this about human life?

"It's okay, can I go in?" Old man Fei asked again.

"When...... This, you ...... Wait! Qian Jia wanted to say "of course" directly, but after a while, he also sobered up a little, thinking that the identity of the old man in front of him was just his own words, and he had not really been confirmed, so he still didn't dare to let the old man Fei in at will. This is a remiss of duty. If there is an adult in the yamen who says something casually, he doesn't have to be a local official. So, in a hurry, you will be wise. He put down the sentence "Wait a minute", and then ran towards the yamen and went to the official to report the news.

"I don't know that Lord Shangshu is here in person, the lower officials have missed the distance, forgive the sins, forgive the sins!"

Alinga was originally discussing things with some of his subordinates in the yamen of the Imperial Court, and when he heard the report from the people below, Ferdinand came! But I was surprised! You must know that since he took over the post of secretary of the Li Fan Yuan, Old Man Fei has never had any real intersection with the yamen of the Li Fan Yuan. It's just that there is a name for Shangshu. Even after being transferred to the capital, he has been circling around the Heart Cultivation Palace, and has never been to the yamen of the Li Fan Yuan. Therefore, as a servant of the Imperial Court, although he is only a second-in-command in name, Ah Linga holds the real power of this yamen. However, now Old Man Fei suddenly came! What for? Do you want to seize power? Didn't that make him feel bad? However, now the old man of Di Fei is also the top number one on the list of the most unoffending people in the entire capital, even though he is a high lord. The pro-noble is very, and it is definitely untouchable! Therefore, I had to come out to greet Old Man Fei.

"Hehe, your Excellency, you're welcome! Fei just wanted to come over on a whim, everyone doesn't have to be so grand! ”

The Imperial Court has jurisdiction over the banner of the Imperial Court, the six divisions of the Wanghui, the Dianzhi, the Rouyuan, the Shenyuan, the Six Divisions of the Lixing and the Manchu and Han Files, the Secretariat Office, the Month Office, the Mongolian Office, the Inner and Outer Pavilions, the Silver Treasury and other relevant institutions, which are in charge of the Juelu, tribute, demarcation, official system, military punishment, household registration, farming, taxation, post station, trade, religion and other affairs, in addition to Shangshu and Shilang, the rest also have a large number of officials such as Langzhong, Yuanwailang, the hall master, the director, and the pen post, these people heard that the old man Fei, who has been holding the seat of Shangshu, is here, I don't know if it was out of curiosity or flattery, so I rushed over and almost blocked the entrance of the ya.

"Lord Shangshu, what are you talking about? You are the secretary of our Imperial Academy, and it is the first time you have come to the Yamen, so it is right for your subordinates to come to visit. …… Actually, you're here just in time. My subordinates and others happened to encounter a few troubles, and I wanted to ask you for advice! Alinga was not happy when she saw so many people coming out to greet Old Man Fei, so she thought of the trouble she had encountered recently.

"Hehe, I can't talk about it! If there is anything, just say it, and everyone will discuss it together! Old man Fei smiled and walked towards the courtyard with Alinga. Everything is natural, as if he was the "boss" here, although nominally he would have been!

"Lord Shangshu, it's actually not a big deal. It was Wan Zheng, the commander of the South China Sea Naval Division, who submitted an official document, saying that the Luzon natives were making trouble, attacking each other, and also attacking the Qing people who had migrated to the past, and wanted us to send some officers to help manage it. I wonder what you think? Alinga asked.

"This ...... Isn't our clan a regular priest, who is stationed in ethnic minority areas in a pen-and-post style, to deal with specific affairs, and to rotate places regularly? There is nothing excessive about this request made by Wan Zheng "Se", and if you ask the emperor, will it be done? Old man Fei replied casually.

"Hehe" Ah Ling'a glanced at the officials who followed him with a little pride, and saw that a few of the priests and pen stickers had been oiled on the soles of their feet, and some officials in other places looked at Old Man Fei with some unfriendly "color" in their eyes, and his heart was secretly refreshed, so he replied: "Lord Shangshu, it's not that his subordinates are unhappy, the key is that we have inquired about the six departments, and the people of the six departments said that Luzon is a barbarian land, not as good as China, even if they send officials over, it is not easy to manage." So, the matter was put on hold! However, a few days ago, Wanzheng "Color" sent people to destroy ......"

"That's it!" Old man Fei stopped, stroked his beard and thought for a while, "Since that's the case, then you can tell Wanzheng 'Lust', don't worry about the rest, just use one trick!" ”

"What's the move?" Alinga and the other officials unconsciously stretched their necks. In fact, there is an important reason why the requirements put forward by Wanzheng "Se" cannot be implemented, that is, the officials of the Rifan Yuan are unwilling to go to the wild islands of the South China Sea to do things! Alinga once sent two divisions in order to befriend Wan Zheng's general, but unexpectedly, after these two guys reluctantly left, they actually came back to him halfway and pleaded with him with a handful of snot and tears, which made him very annoyed. Now, hearing that Old Man Fei actually had a way to solve things without sending someone, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Kill! …… Anyone who disobeys the king, kill! Anyone who offends my people of the Qing Dynasty will be killed! Anyone who does not obey the laws of the imperial court will be killed! …… Anyway, it's just one sentence, whoever dares to be against my Daqing, no matter who it is, there is only one word: kill! Kill until they're served! ”
