Over the past few days, Wei Xiaobao had been gambling and lending the Wen brothers money as usual. Counting the money he had lent them, it was more than three hundred taels. One had to know that a eunuch's monthly salary was only a few taels of silver. It would be difficult for them to repay the money with their monthly salary.
After the bet, the Wen brothers pulled him aside to discuss what to do with the money they owed him. Wei Xiaobao didn't seem to care, and continued to chat with them. After a long discussion, they finally agreed to take Wei Xiaobao to the study to see the Emperor's dragon face. Wei Xiaobao laughed to himself. He saw Kang Xi every day, and this excuse was really funny.
The Wen brothers were like secret agents, carefully passing through each checkpoint to bring Wei Xiaobao to the study.
After walking around the study, Wei Xiaobao knew that the Wen brothers were "fooling" him and that Kang Xi would not come at all. However, he didn't expose them and waited for them to finish cleaning up before leaving with them.
Wei Xiaobao sneaked back to the study. Seeing that there was no one around, he went to the throne and sat down. He imagined himself as the emperor and the ministers kneeling down to the ground, wondering what it would feel like. Unfortunately, after pondering for a long time, he felt that it was boring. He saw that the stool was very long, so he lay on it to rest.
Wei Xiaobao lay there for a while, trying to fall asleep. He was suddenly shocked. Kang Xi should be coming today. If he saw him sleeping on the dragon throne, he would cut him down no matter how friendly they were. He quickly hid behind the screen behind the dragon throne and waited for that moment to arrive.
After a while, Kang Xi came in and sat down to read a book. After a while, the eunuch outside said in a clear voice,""Replying, Wang Jieshu has something to ask for an audience.”
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'Shouldn't it be Oboi? Why is it the book?' If he comes, how can I expose Kang Xi's identity?
Jie Shu entered the hall and knelt down." Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"”Wei Xiaobao craned his neck to take a look and almost laughed out loud. That Jie Shu was actually a short fatty, looking like a bucket from afar.
Jie Shu stood up and said,"The Emperor has given me a task, and I will do it today. I'm just afraid that Oboi will interfere." He is now in charge of the military power of the court, and the guards in the Forbidden City are also his people. If I am not careful, I am afraid that I will harm the Emperor.”
It turned out that a few days ago, Suksaha's own disciples had pleaded for the people and participated in the Oboi competition with two other ministers. However, they were forced by Oboi's accomplices to execute the three of them. Suksaha, who was unable to compete with Ao Bai, could only watch his beloved disciple die, but he did nothing. Thus, disheartened, he wrote a letter requesting to guard the tomb for the former emperor. Kangxi wanted to seize this opportunity to seize the military power of Oboi, so he and the Empress Dowager told the Jie Shu Office about this matter.
This morning, Jieshu had only agreed to come forward after receiving generous benefits from Kangxi's grandfather and grandson. However, he felt that this matter was very difficult to handle and wanted to retreat, so he came to ask Kang Xi for instructions to find a way out for himself.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject's intention is to allow this humble subject to handle this matter together with Ebelon.”Jie Shu lowered his head and begged.
Kang Xi hesitated for a moment. He knew that Jie Shu was weak, but he didn't expect him to be so timid. His original intention was to let Jie Shu impeach Ao Bai and unite all the non-Ao Bai forces in the court to seize Ao Bai's military power in one fell swoop. If no one came forward to impeach Ao Bai, then there would be nothing to talk about. It was just that no one seemed to be willing to take the lead.
Looking at Jie Shu kneeling down, Kang Xi could only helplessly agree,""Alright, we'll do as you say.”
Jieshu saw that his goal had been achieved and wanted to leave. At this moment, Kang Xi said sternly,"I hope that the king will not disappoint me!”
When Jie Shu heard this, his entire body trembled. He hurriedly kowtowed and said,"I will do my best until I die.”Wei Xiaobao heard it clearly from behind and thought,"This Jieshu is so timid, and he even died. He's really thick-skinned!”
The eunuch outside the door suddenly shouted,"Ao Bai Ao Shao Bao requests to see Fu Shi!"”As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and the sound of heavy footsteps entered Wei Xiaobao's ears.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Oboi kowtowed.”Wei Xiaobao poked his head out and saw a burly man kneeling in the middle of the hall. He couldn't help but feel proud. This Ao Bai was the most powerful official in the world, the number one warrior in Manchuria, and a famous figure in history. Yet, he was kneeling in front of him. However, he had forgotten that Ao Bai was not kneeling down to him. Moreover, Ao Bai did not even respect those who knelt down, let alone him, a hidden person who used Ah Q's spirit to intimidate others.
Kang Xi remembered how Oboi had openly contradicted him in court today. He was a little frightened, afraid that Oboi would find out about his secret plot. He quickly calmed his mind and said,"Rise!"
Ao Bai stood up and looked at the terrified Jie Shu."I wonder what the emperor and the king are discussing here? I, Ao Bai, was previously an assistant minister, and now I am the Minister of War, in charge of the armies of the world. The Emperor is still young and has just taken charge of the government. How can he be so arrogant?”That Ao Bai was indeed a treacherous official, brazenly trying to seize power from Kang Xi.
"Impudent!" No matter how good Kang Xi's temper was, he couldn't stand such humiliation and shouted.
"I don't understand why I'm being impudent! Back then, I fought on the battlefield for the Qing Dynasty and won the world. The emperor is young, as an assistant minister, I diligently assist the emperor. May I ask, how am I being presumptuous? Could it be that the emperor wants to hide all the good bows and hurt the hearts of the old officials?”
Wei Xiaobao knew it was time for him to make his appearance. He quickly walked out and saw Ao Bai clenching his fists, the veins on his face bulging as he approached the throne. He said in a clear voice,"What is Ao Shaobao doing? How dare you speak to the emperor like this, aren't you afraid of being punished for disrespect?”After saying that, he stood respectfully behind Kang Xi.
Ao Bai only saw that Kang Xi was looking down on him more and more recently, so he wanted to take this opportunity to beat him up. At this moment, he saw a young eunuch he did not know beside him. He thought to himself that Kangxi had recently transferred a group of guards to the palace. Although he controlled most of the Imperial Guards, he could not interfere with anyone around Kang Xi. If Kang Xi launched an attack at this time, no matter how high his martial arts were, it would be difficult for him to resist. Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed and replied,"Your Majesty, please forgive this old minister for being a little agitated. This minister did not mean it."”After saying that, he quickly pushed it to the side and stood there with his hands by his side.
Kang Xi originally saw that Oboi was threatening him, and the nearby guards were all Oboi's people, so it might not be useful to call him over. That Jie Shu was as timid as a mouse, only hiding at the side, not daring to speak. When he saw Wei Xiaobao appear behind him, he was pleasantly surprised. He thought that if he joined forces with Wei Xiaobao, they could probably fight Ao Bai. However, Wei Xiaobao was able to convince Oboi to back down."Young Guardian Ao, Zhen knows that you are a general and do not act like a scholar. I don't blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself. Moreover, Jieshu and I were just talking about some trivial matters at home, which made Ao Shaobao overthink.”
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty," Oboi said happily when he saw Kangxi yield.”
"Is there anything else?" Kang Xi asked.”
"No, Your Majesty," answered Oboi and Jieshu. This servant will take his leave." With that, the two of them left the study.
When the two of them were far away, Wei Xiaobao quickly walked up to His Highness and knelt down."This servant pays his respects to the emperor. In the past, this servant didn't know the emperor's true identity and offended him. Please forgive me!”
Kang Xi jumped up from his seat and said,"Little Gui Zi, you've finally discovered this secret." You have helped me a lot today, how can I blame you?”
"It's nothing," said Wei Xiaobao with a smile."That Oboi was too rude." We're brothers. He bullied you, so I naturally have to stand up for you!”He was used to fooling around with Kang Xi recently and couldn't change it in a short time. Secondly, he came from a later generation and did not have any concept of superiority. In addition, he was also a person who was fearless of heaven and earth, so he did not hide anything when he spoke.
Kangxi usually saw those officials praising him verbally, but he didn't take himself seriously in secret. Wei Xiaobao was speaking with utmost sincerity. Although it was a little disrespectful, his feelings were genuine. He was grateful and said,"That's good!"”After thinking for a while, he said,"Now that you know my identity, I'm afraid you won't really fight me anymore."”
One had to know that an emperor was respected by the people around him since he was young. He was taught to follow the rules from a young age and could not be the slightest bit presumptuous. However, a child still loved to play. No one in the palace dared to play with him sincerely, and it was boring to play with him. It was not easy to find Wei Xiaobao, so he could abandon his identity and play to his heart's content. The past few days had been the happiest he had ever been since he was young. Unfortunately, now that his identity had been exposed, it would probably be difficult for him to have fun in the future.
How could Wei Xiaobao not know what Kang Xi was thinking?"If you don't blame me, I'll still fight you like before.”Kang Xi had no idea that Wei Xiaobao had already known of Kang Xi's identity a few days ago and had been 'faking' the fight. He thought about how Kang Xi had believed Wei Xiaobao's fake beating. If Wei Xiaobao continued to pretend, how could Kang Xi see through him?
Kang Xi was overjoyed and said,""That's great! In the future, when there is someone, you can call me emperor. When there is no one, you and I can call each other brothers. How about that?”Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'If you want me to call you now, I'll call you when you're unhappy. However, he repeatedly agreed.
