In the world of The Deer and Cauldron, Wu Qi had long been invincible. However, after the mermaid incident and hearing her words, Wu Qi woke up again. His current strength was still insignificant.
He had been a first-rate expert for quite some time now, and he had practiced together quite a number of times.
After accumulating all this time, there was also a faint chance to break through to the next stage, the peak of the Postnatal Realm. That night, Wu Qi also had the intention to break through this barrier.
However, after one night, he and Princess Jianning had toiled seven times. Every time, they felt that they were just one step away. However, the next time, the feeling was still the same. They just couldn't rush up.
"It seems that I can rely on ordinary women to accumulate experience, but it's not easy to break through to the next realm. I still need to be a virgin to quickly kick that final step.”Wu Qi thought.
"What are you thinking about?" The conquered princess of Jianning leaned on Wu Qi's shoulder and asked.
"It's nothing. We should get up. There's a feast today.”Wu Qi said.
"That's true. I'm afraid Brother Wang won't be able to finish such a big crab last night.”Princess Jianning couldn't help but lick her lips.
As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them got up one after another. Princess Jianning first helped Wu Qi change his clothes, then called someone in to help her dress herself.
Wu Qi took a step forward and arrived at the Oath Hall. He had wanted to wait for Kang Xi to end his court session, but he saw a young eunuch waiting there for him.
"Eunuch De, the emperor told me to wait here early in the morning and prepared court clothes for you. He said that if you and Eunuch Gui came, you should change into your clothes here and go to court.”the young eunuch said.
"Alright." Wu Qi responded and stepped forward, immediately changing into his clothes.
People said that clothes make the man, and horses make the saddle. Once Wu Qi changed into his court clothes, he also looked noble and imposing.
Seeing this, the young eunuch could not help but flatter,""Eunuch De is really energetic today. In the future, when you soar to success, don't forget to take care of us.”
"Of course. Take it and drink.”Wu Qi replied casually and threw ten taels of silver to the little eunuch.
The young eunuch accepted it happily and bowed.""Thank you, Eunuch De!"
Wu Qi was just about to leave when he saw Wei Xiaobao. He couldn't help but wait until Wei Xiaobao had put on his clothes and went along.
Oboi had been eliminated, and most of his followers had been eliminated. There were inevitably new faces in the court.
Everyone present knew how important Wu Qi and Wei Xiaobao were. They were the two who had contributed the most to the killing of Ao Bai. When they saw them come up, they couldn't help but come up and chat with them.
Wu Qi wasn't very interested in these people who fawned over those in power. However, he had to give them some face when they came up to communicate. There was no need to offend them for nothing.
In the short period of time before Kang Xi arrived, Wu Qi was undoubtedly the most dazzling existence present. There was an endless stream of people who wanted to get close to him.
Kang Xi, accompanied by two eunuchs, slowly walked into the court and stared at the officials.
When everyone stood up, Kang Xi slowly said,""Today, it just so happens that the gods have appeared and auspicious signs have descended from the heavens. On this good day, I am prepared to give Wu Qi and Wei Xiaobao, two meritorious officials, titles.”
" This..." The ministers began to stutter. They knew which positions were vacant.
However, most of the newly promoted officials were not clear about Kang Xi's temperament, so it was difficult to say, because they were afraid that it would go against Kang Xi's wishes.
Kang Xi shook his head helplessly. The reason he asked was to test the courage of the officials.
He was not a fatuous ruler. He allowed his officials to have different views from him. This way, when he made a mistake, someone could correct him. At the same time, he did not have to be so tired.
As a pillar of the imperial court, he needed to have the courage to challenge the emperor, like Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed by the officials 'performance. Right now, these officials only wanted to comply with the emperor's will in order to have a long career.
"A bunch of mediocrity!" Kang Xi couldn't help but curse out loud. He didn't bother to ask and directly stated his appointment.
"Right now, there are abnormal movements in Taiwan. Wu Sangui and Heaven and Earth will rebel. I have decided to appoint Wu Qi as King Zhennan. He will lead the troops of Zhenglan Flag and the Blue Flag to go on an expedition! Wei Xiaobao will be the King of Huainan, and he will lead the Red Flag Army to wipe out the Heaven and Earth Society and Taiwan's influence on the mainland!”
Not to mention the ministers, even Wu Qi had not expected Kang Xi's decision. This was a little different from what he had said last night. However, he quickly reacted. It was probably because Wu Sangui's movements had become more intense.
"Ah?" With Kang Xi's words, someone finally spoke up.
"Emperor, this isn't appropriate. Not only is it a title of king from another surname, but it's also so casual.”
"Yeah, this isn't appropriate."
At this moment, the number of people who agreed with him actually increased. It was not because of anything else, but because most of the people here were Manchu people. They were resistant to the title of King, especially when it came to Han people with other surnames.
However, they had not said a word before, and now Kang Xi could not be bothered with their opinions." I appoint people based on their merits. If you think you have the ability, I can appoint you. If you don't, there's no need to say anything!”
Kang Xi's words silenced all the ministers.
Wu Sangui was famous for his ability to fight. Not to mention two banners, even three or four banners wouldn't dare to put on such a banner. It wasn't that they didn't have the ability, but that they didn't have the confidence.
"Wu Qi, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?”Kang Xi looked at Wu Qi. He had confidence in Wu Qi and knew that he was not only good at martial arts but also good at strategy.
"I will not disappoint you! If you don't take off Wu Sangui's head, I'll bring my own head to see you!”Wu Qi didn't take this seriously. With his historical interpretation, he had a little understanding of Wu Sangui.
The most important thing was that after he was conferred the title of king, he would be able to take down Wu Sangui and marry Princess Jianning.
"What about you, Wei Xiaobao?"
Kang Xi's question was a big question for Wei Xiaobao.
The people he had to deal with were actually very few. He would not become enemies with the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Heaven and Earth Society would not make things difficult for him. What he had to do was to investigate the small forces of Taiwan in the mainland and then bring dozens of people to eliminate them. This task was much simpler than Wu Qi's.
"I will not disappoint you!"
"Good!" Kang Xi praised with satisfaction, then looked at the other ministers." Do you have any other reports?”
The ministers originally had something to say, but they had just made Kang Xi unhappy, so they could only put it aside for a day.
"We have nothing to report!"
"Retreat!" Kang Xi flicked his sleeves and left.
After the court session.
Kang Xi left Wu Qi and Wei Xiaobao behind.
"Xiao De Zi, Xiao Gui Zi, we still need some time to prepare the provisions. You are already kings now, so you can't stay in the palace as eunuchs. Zhen has already prepared a mansion for you. You can move in after lunch today.”
"Thank you, Emperor." Wu Qi thanked them sincerely. This was what he had been looking forward to. With the mansion, he could let Ah Ke, Shuang 'er, and the young princess live together. At that time, he would have a way to slowly brainwash these two girls and let them know how good a choice it was to become his woman.
