Wei Xiaobao learned from their conversation that this thief was called Li Manru. Because of the enclosure, her family had declined and her parents had died of illness. Those children were also orphans from nearby. They all gathered together. Because she was the oldest, she was the leader. In order to feed these children, she had to steal for a living. Wei Xiaobao knew that Oboi was the one who had set up the enclosure. These people hated Oboi and could use it. He remembered that he was wearing a little tailor's ordinary clothes and asked in confusion,"Why did so many of you steal from me? I don't look like a rich person at all.”
Li Manru rolled her eyes and glared at him."You don't even ask about the price when you go shopping. Aren't you a rich man? And although your clothes are ordinary, your undergarments are made of high-quality silk. I can't tell!”
Wei Xiaobao was delighted to hear this. He really got what he wanted. This Li Manru had the preliminary ability to analyze intelligence. If those little beggars were to gather information everywhere and Li Manru analyzed it, wouldn't this intelligence bureau be completed?
So, Wei Xiaobao told Li Manru his thoughts. He thought that these children were still young and could not do anything too difficult. However, it was still possible to monitor the residences of the ministers and see what activities they had and what interactions they had with each other. Moreover, these children were young, so no one would suspect them. Also, they had to find orphans or people whose families had been destroyed by the enclosure and raise them.
Li Manru had been happy to hear that Wei Xiaobao was going to raise the orphans, but now that he said so, she was a little suspicious. Who was this Wei Xiaobao? What did he want to do? He actually wanted her to bring these children to spy on those officials in the court. Could it be that he wanted to rebel?
Wei Xiaobao saw that she was silent and pinched her chest hard."What are you thinking about? Are you not willing to do it?"
Li Manru felt a pain in her chest. She glared at Wei Xiaobao and said,"Who exactly are you?"
Wei Xiaobao thought for a while and decided not to tell Li Manru his identity. This way, even if this clue was exposed, it would not implicate him. Although this was cruel to Li Manru and the others, their lives were still more important. Wei Xiaobao, who had come from a later generation, knew how cruel political struggles were. "You don't have to know who I am. I just want to tell you that the person I work for is someone that no one can compare to. If you choose to do this, your future will be bright and bright, and you will be rich and noble in this life. But if you betray me, no one in this world can protect you! You decide."
Li Manru pondered for a long time and said,"Anyway, we have nowhere to go now, so I'll follow you.”
Wei Xiaobao pulled her into his arms and said,"Would I be willing to lie to you? No matter what, I will support you.”He also instructed her not to tell the children about her purpose. He only asked them to go to the doors of the various official residences to observe. Even if someone asked, they would only say that they were playing. Wei Xiaobao repeated the instructions and played with his hands and feet for a while before letting Li Manru get dressed and get out of bed.
Li Manru couldn't walk anymore, so Wei Xiaobao took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to her. At the same time, he booked this room for them to use as a communication channel.
At this moment, Obai was reprimanding his cousin Murima. Oboi had already subdued more than half of the ministers in the court, and Suksaha, who was not convinced by him, would not be able to achieve much. It was just that today, when he openly disobeyed Kang Xi in the main hall, it also felt like Zhao Gao was calling a deer a horse. He wanted to see who in the court would still dare to oppose him. Although the final result made Oboi proud, he had invited his own faction to dinner, but many people had found an excuse not to come, which made Oboi very unhappy. So, when he saw his cousin Murima teasing the opera singer, Oboi reprimanded him and said,""Don't be happy too early. Maybe we'll all be dragged to Caishikou that day and executed. If you hadn't done those things today, how could I have dared to take the risk with the emperor?”
"What did I do this time? I didn't do anything."
Ao Bai had hated him for being so disappointing and doing things badly, but seeing that he was being stubborn, he became even angrier. He said coldly,"Nothing? You instigated a fight between the Red Flag and the Bordered Yellow Flag, and you even took a piece of land from the Imperial Villa! You even robbed a commoner's daughter, the one you robbed was the Emperor's wet nurse's relative, look how capable you are!”As he spoke, he threw a booklet from his hand." Take it and read it! When the emperor asks today, it's hard for me to answer!”
Bambu Ershan looked at Oboi's expression and knew exactly why Oboi was troubled. He stepped forward and said,""Now is not the time to complain. Why don't we think of a complete plan?”
This Bumble was originally a member of the imperial clan of the Qing Emperor, the son of the Fuguo Duke, Tabai. In terms of seniority, he was the elder brother of the Kangxi Emperor. Because Tabai died, he was ordered to pass the position of Fuguo Duke to the second son. Instead, he was only given the title of third-class Fengguo General. His entire family relied on the hundreds of silver that they received from the Guanglu Temple every year to live. He was a little unhappy. Oboi saw that he was living a poor life and often helped him. He was very grateful to Oboi for this. He was Oboi's brain and had always been known as "Little Bowen."
Oboi looked at Banbulshan and asked,""What is your foolproof plan?"
Bumblehill took out his snuff bottle and sniffed."Duke Ao, among the four assistants, Soni will die in a day and a half. Yabilong is slick and slick, and Suksaha is blindly loyal. He has no real power and no plans. The Emperor-well, I think this is what we should worry about. Although the Emperor was a child, he was quite scheming and could not be taken lightly. He had transferred Wei to the Imperial Court and heard that the monarch and his subjects had been incognito for private visits several times. These days, the three ministers 'memorials had suddenly appeared.……This was like playing chess. The national player's scheme was pressing forward step by step!”He paused for a moment. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he said slowly,"However, Duke Ao still holds the advantage. Su Na Hai and the other two were killed. The border officials saw it as a battle horse and didn't dare to neigh. They all knew who was in charge of the current situation…In fact, they were worried because the officials in the court were not convinced. " If we let them know who has the final say in the court…" Bumble felt that it was a hindrance and found it difficult to say the following words.
Hearing these words, everyone present was as if enlightened, and they were all shocked. Sebend couldn't help but secretly admire Yabilong."If the old man didn't come, he would have heard these words.”As she thought about it, she leaned back.
Murima was lost in thought. He clapped his hands and said,"Sir, you see clearly that if we lose this game of chess, everything will be over!" In your opinion, what should we do next?”Bumble smiled and did not answer, but glanced at Oboi. Ao Bai was meticulous. Seeing that the people around him were not of the same mind, he quickly changed his words and said,"I will never forget the emperor's kindness. Alright, the wine is cold. Drink this cup quickly!”
Just as they were talking, the family brought over a yellow box. The memorials that Kangxi had approved to the imperial court were all stored inside. According to the tradition left behind by Shunzhi, no one was allowed to bring a minister's memorial into the private residence. After Soni fell ill, the Empress Dowager granted permission to break the precedent. Now that Soni was in critical condition, this second "exception" was transferred to Oboi. Oboi casually took the box, opened it, and took out a random item. He frowned and hesitated."This…this…"
Seeing how Ao Bai was paying so much attention, everyone also came over to take a look. Ao Bai handed the memorial to Tai Bitu and said,"Sukesaha, please guard the tomb of the previous emperor. The emperor has written a red inscription. Read it out for everyone to see what it means.”
When they heard that Suksaha had requested to guard the mausoleum, everyone was surprised and urged Taibitu to read it quickly. Taibitu took out a pair of crystal glasses from his pocket and put them on. He cleared his throat and read aloud,"Imperial Vermilion Note: 'Er Suksaha has received the grace of the country for generations. He is an important minister of the former emperor. He should do his best to assist me and achieve great things together. Why do you say such nondescript words? He wrote a letter to Wang Jie, asking him,"What did I do wrong to make the minister disdain to assist and resign from government affairs?" What is wrong with the government? Why don't the ministers remonstrate and make up for it instead of guarding the tomb? What kind of coercion did the minister suffer, and he ignored the country?”
Taibitu read and looked at everyone with his glasses. Bumble's brow furrowed more and more as he listened.
"What do you think, Ziweng?" Ao Bai asked, waving his fan.”
Bumble did not answer, but shook his head. Oboi understood and dismissed his men, leaving only seven people, Taibitu, Sebendi, Gechuha, Namo, Jishi, and Murima. Murima had never been pleased with Bumble's kindness. Seeing his serious face, he snorted in his heart."Fake Zhuge!"
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Bumble stood up and said,""Lend me the chopsticks in front of the central hall, I will prepare for the central hall!”As he spoke, he picked up a chopstick, dipped it in wine, and made a line on the table."Su Zhongtang was really frustrated, so he sent this memorial to the mausoleum. Previously, he had complained to the Emperor and was detained. Later, he saw that Su Nahai and the other two were killed. He felt uncomfortable and afraid, so he had no choice but to ask to guard the mausoleum.”Everyone nodded. However, he changed his tone." The Emperor has other plans. Why did Jieshu have to ask these few questions instead of Duke Ao? This is one of the suspicious points." He drew a line on the table." The first question is just a feint. He hasn't been in power for long, so where did he 'lose' his morals? If there was, it could only be blamed on Duke Ao.”He drew a second line,"The key lies in the second and third questions." This is forcing Sukesaha to sue the Ao Gong, and then letting Jie Shu impeach the Ao Gong. This move is steady and fierce. If they advance, they can form a siege, but if they retreat, they will just abandon Sukesaha. A fourteen-year-old person can think so thoroughly…" He shook his head and said slowly," I'm afraid the Empress Dowager is also involved in this matter!”
These words were like enlightenment, and everyone was silent for a long time. Ao Bai was very calm. After the thought chip rang, he said coldly,"He had a good plan, but I didn't let him succeed. No wonder he had a secret conversation with Jie Shu in the study today. When I went over, both of them looked flustered. Since they want to give up on Suksaha, we'll eat this abandoned chess piece first!”
Not all the people who came to drink with Ao Bai were determined to follow him, so they didn't expect Ao Bai to be so explicit. Tai Bitu said,"The central hall doesn't necessarily have to eat this chess piece. Why don't you take the brambles and beg for forgiveness?”
Of course, Oboi knew what these people were thinking. When he thought of Banbu Ershan's words," Let the ministers in the court know who has the final say," he was moved. He also knew that the core of the problem now was to establish power. Thinking of this, he stopped pacing and said to Banbu Ershan,"Ziweng, let's go to Jieshu's house now and see how bold that cowardly Jieshu is!”
Kang Xi's brilliant plan was ruined in the hands of his brother.
