"Your Majesty, the ministers who discuss government affairs, the ministers of the bodyguard, the Grand Master and the Prince's Tutor, and the first-class Duke Ao have arrived to pay their respects."

As Fatty Duolong's loud voice rang out, brothers Kangxi and Fuquan in the South Study Room next to Qianqing Palace both cast encouraging glances at each other - we are good men of Aixinjueluo, and we are not afraid of rebellious ministers like Ao Bai. Thief's!

After making eye contact with his brother, the little Emperor Kangxi took a deep breath, calmed down, tried his best to put a bright smile on his pockmarked face, and then shouted: "Xuan!"

Then I saw someone lift up the curtain at the door of the South Study Room, and a strong man, who is quite rare among Manchus, walked in with big steps. This walking posture looked arrogant and domineering, and he had no superiority. ah!

The one who walks so domineeringly is of course the No. 1 Batulu Aobai Ao in Manchuria. Although this old man is almost sixty, his body is still strong and strong. His old face is full of flesh and a white beard like a steel needle. His two eyes are always staring, looking at everyone who is vicious. However, he, an old thief, cannot be compared with Dorgon Duo Ama, who is a submissive Ama! And he is still a slave of Emperor Kangxi, so he sees After Emperor Kangxi's death, he had to kneel down and prostrate himself, shouting loudly: "Slave Aobai, please bless me!"

Although he shouted "Holy greetings", his voice was not submissive at all. It sounded like thunder. He was so arrogant and domineering!

Although the little Emperor Kangxi hated Oboi in his heart, his pockmarked face smiled as if it were blooming. He smiled and said: "Grand Master, please get up, Xiao Guizi, bring a chair to the Grand Master, and then serve tea to the Grand Master." .”

"Hey." Xiao Guizi, the personal eunuch who was with Kangxi, responded and waved to the three little eunuchs guarding the south study. The three little eunuchs slipped out quietly. After a while, two of them One eunuch brought a chair for Grand Master Ao, and another eunuch held a tray with a tea bowl on it. The chair was placed behind Ao Bai, and the tray went into the hands of Little Guizi's father-in-law. He personally brought it to Ao Bai and said politely: "Master, please sit down and have some tea."

Oboi didn't show any pretense to Kangxi, so he sat down on a chair. Feeling a little thirsty, he took the tea bowl and took a big sip.

At this time, Kangxi smiled and asked Obei: "Grand Master, it's so hot today. Is there anything important for you to come to the palace in the afternoon? If it's nothing important, I'll hand it over to the meeting of kings and ministers for discussion." ). I still want to fight with King Yu for a while longer!"

Hearing Kangxi talk about fighting crickets, King Yu Fuquan immediately acted like an actor, took out a bamboo tube containing crickets and started playing with it.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to look for you." Xiao Guizi said.

You are the same party!

"Is there any?" Kangxi looked surprised.

Kangxi took out Wang Fuchen's notice from the envelope and pretended to read it. The contents of the notice were similar to those in the memorial. They both said that Wu Sangui had recently expanded his army crazily, and had incorporated all his subordinates' vassal troops and Ding Yu from the Green Camp into the army to intensify their training. It was also said that Yun Gui's vassal army and green camp soldiers were short of food and pay, and the number of troops was insufficient. People's hearts were unstable, and there were still some remnants of Ming Dynasty in the army who were deceiving people. It was only because of King Pingxi's kindness that he could barely maintain the situation.

After reading the notice, Kangxi asked with confusion: "This report from Wang Fuchen has arrived at the Grand Master's side. Where is his memorial? Why haven't you seen it? Duolong, has the guard stall received it?"

"Your Majesty, take a look at this." As he spoke, Obai handed the invitation to Xiao Guizi, who in turn gave it to Kangxi.

Ao Bai shook his head: "Your Majesty, hasn't Wu Sangui rebelled yet? When the late emperor named Wu Sangui King of Pingxi, he made an agreement to rule Tiannan for the rest of his life and rest with the country. Now Wu Sangui has been destroyed before his generation is over.

It’s too chilling. Now Wu Sangui just wants money, just give him some more.”

"Your Majesty," Fat Duolong quickly replied, "the box of Wang Fuchen's memorial was delivered yesterday, and it was delivered to the south study by my servant personally."

Kangxi was so angry!

More money? That's my money! Do you want to take it all and share it?

Sure enough, he is a child

After listening to Kangxi's words, Ao Bai smiled gently: "Your Majesty, Wang Fuchen's meaning is very clear, that is, Wu Sangui needs more money to support his troops!"

"Your Majesty," Ao Bai said with a smile, "Yunnan and Guizhou are both poor places and cannot bring out much oil and water. In the process of pacifying the southwest, Wu Sangui did recruit many troops from the Can Ming, Li Chuang and the Western Bandits. Although we only gave them

We have given him 30,000 to 40,000 troops, but the number of people he needs to place is more than 100,000. The military expenditure of 3 million taels a year is indeed not enough."

Kangxi took the book and took a look at it. Yes, it was the one he had just stuffed in!

"It's true." Kangxi smiled awkwardly, "I neglected it. Fortunately, the Grand Master was here, otherwise it would have been a mistake! By the way, Grand Master, this Wang Fuchen said that Wu Sangui supported the troops and respected himself, and then said that Wu Sangui was not suppressing him.

The people below are going to cause trouble. Such inconsistency! What does it mean? Is this Wu Sangui a loyal minister or a rebellious minister?"

Next to him, Eunuch Gui quickly pointed to a pair of memorials placed on the imperial desk in front of Kangxi and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed true. At that time, you were in a hurry to shoot rabbits, so you asked your servant to open the box first, take out the memorials and put them away.

On the table."

"Look for it quickly, look for it quickly."

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

Thinking of this, Ao Bai sighed and took out a memorial note from his sleeve pocket. Wang Fuchen sent his men to send it to Beijing day and night - the memorial to Kangxi was also sent together. The rules and memorials of the early Qing Dynasty

There is no need to go through the postal post with the invitations, just send them directly to family members or subordinates.

"You want more money?" Kangxi frowned deliberately, "He has been asked to withhold the money from Yunnan and Guizhou, and the court subsidizes him three million taels a year, why is he still not satisfied?"

Ao Bai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I can't tell whether Wu Sangui will rebel. After all, Wu Sangui has one hundred thousand troops and is commanding the south of the country. It's not surprising that he has a disobedient heart. But as long as this servant is here, we can't say

The Qing Dynasty is not afraid that Wu Sangui will not surrender. If he dares to rebel, my servants will lead their troops to destroy him!"

When Obai saw that the little emperor looked like he had no future, he felt a little disappointed. He thought that when his old master, Emperor Taizong, was about the same age as today, he had already helped Lao Khan take care of the housework, taking care of the daily affairs of the family and the financial revenue and expenditure.

The management is very orderly, especially in terms of money, and the accounting is done flawlessly. Neither Lao Khan nor Zhu Beile can see anything wrong. But what about today? I just know how to fight crickets, shoot rabbits and do some weird arithmetic problems.

Didn't learn well at all.

Xiao Guizi responded and pretended to look through the pile of memorials. Sure enough, she pulled out a memorial and handed it to Kangxi with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is it."

Kangxi frowned deeply, this Obai actually helped Wu Sangui to speak for him! Could it be that they were accomplices?

Thinking of this, Kangxi asked again: "One hundred thousand soldiers seems to be a lot, Grand Master, will Wu Sangui rebel?"

Kangxi asked: "Master, are you going to attack Wu Sangui?"

Although he was angry, Kangxi could remain calm and calm, which is called being indifferent to emotion and anger.

Kangxi, who looked calm, then asked Obei: "Grand Master, how much should we add to him?"

"Add a few hundred thousand," Obai thought for a while and said, "Wu Yingxiong sent someone to the slave's house yesterday to inform him that his third brother Wu Guogui left Yunnan more than two months ago, and there is another one.

It will take ten days and a half to arrive in Beijing. At that time, I will personally go to talk to Wu Guogui and strive to control the total military expenditure allocated to Yunnan and Guizhou provinces by the imperial court in the eighth year of Kangxi within 3.5 million taels of silver.

"

Kangxi sighed, his face full of helplessness: "Hey, three and a half million, just three and a half million. Anyway, I have a lot of money in the Qing Dynasty! Grand Master, I'll leave it to you to take care of this matter."

"This slave accepts the order." As Oboi received the order, he thought in his heart: The emperor is indeed still a child. It seems that the Qing Dynasty has to rely on me, a loyal minister who has grown stronger and stronger.
