Almost all the important officials in the court were called to the upper study room by Kang Mazi. Prince Kang, Suo'etu and others looked at each other and knew that there must be something important to discuss.

Kang Mazi has been in charge for almost a year, and all the ministers know that although their little emperor is young, he is somewhat wise, wise and decisive, and he is not the fatuous monarch of the previous Ming Dynasty.

If something big hadn't happened, Kang Mazi would never have asked the ministers to come up to the study from their beds late at night.

Prince Kang, Suo'etu and other important ministers all knelt down and shouted: "Slaves (minions) see the emperor, may the emperor be blessed and safe!"

Kang Mazi said: "Young ministers, you don't need to be too polite, just stay on your own terms!"

All the ministers said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" and then stood up one by one.

Then Prince Kang and others stood there with their heads lowered and their eyebrows lowered, waiting for Kang Mazi's instructions.

Kang Mazi asked the men in black from the Thirteenth Yamen to hide before the ministers came. Now seeing that Prince Kang and others were silent, he coughed lightly and then said: "I will bring all the ministers to their homes tonight."

I called because I want to discuss something with you!"

After Kang Mazi finished speaking, he blinked his eyes. Prince Kang stood up with a wink and asked: "I don't know what the emperor has ordered, but I will definitely do it!" Suo'etu and others also stood up and shouted in unison.

go along.

Kang Mazi's face straightened, and he continued: "This matter concerns the country, the country, the country, otherwise I would not have summoned all the ministers late at night!"

When Prince Kang and others heard what Kang Mazi said solemnly, their faces all became serious, and they waited quietly for the next step!

Kang Mazi looked around at the eyes of the ministers, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Actually, it is about my father!"

Suo'etu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the late emperor's mausoleum?"

Kang Mazi shook his head and continued: "It has nothing to do with my father's mausoleum. In fact, my father is not dead!"

Kang Mazi's words were so shocking that all the ministers in the room were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

Kang Mazi stopped trying to keep things secret and briefly told what happened that year. Naturally, it was impossible to say that Emperor Shunzhi became a monk because of a woman and had no interest in state affairs. It was even less possible to tell the whole story of Mao Dongzhu's murder of Concubine Dong E.

With tears in his eyes, he said with great emotion that Emperor Shunzhi felt that he had committed too many crimes since entering the country, so he decided to go to Qingliang Temple to become a monk and devote himself to practicing Buddhism and praying for the Qing Dynasty.

The people standing in the upper study room are all the most powerful people in the Tatars at present. They are all like human beings. Kang Mazi even had tears in his eyes. Naturally, the slaves can't keep their expressions on their faces.

They all had tears in their eyes.

Soritu couldn't cry, so he secretly looked at the heat on his thigh and tried his best to massage it, and then tried his best to recall the scenes when his dead father beat him so hard when he was still alive, and then he cried.

.

Everyone who had to perform had performed, and naturally he had to do business. Prince Kang Jieshu's eyes filled with tears, and he cautiously asked: "Does the emperor want to take the old emperor back to the palace to take care of him in his old age?"

There is a saying that when Prince Kang and other important ministers heard Kang Mazi mention that Emperor Shunzhi was still alive, they were not only a little surprised, but also worried.

Prince Kang and others knew that Kang Mazi was a person of utmost filial piety, which could be seen from Kang Mazi's attitude towards the Queen Mother.

Prince Kang and others were worried because they were afraid that Kang Mazi would take Emperor Shunzhi back to the palace and return power to Emperor Shunzhi!

As the saying goes, there is an emperor and a courtier. Emperor Shunzhi is only in his thirties this year, and he is an upright and mature man. If Kang Mazi really returns to power and Shunzhi, who knows how Shunzhi will treat himself and others, and whether he can still keep his throne.

Current location...

That's why Prince Kang had such a probing question. If he really brought Shunzhi back to take care of his old age, it would be better to eat fast and chant Buddha's name in the palace. If Kang Mazi wanted to return power to Shunzhi, he and others must try their best to dissuade him.

Almost all the other important ministers had the same thoughts as Prince Kang Jieshu. As soon as Prince Kang finished speaking, they all looked at Kang Mazi secretly, waiting for him to speak, for fear of saying something they didn't want to hear.

Kang Mazi really hadn't thought too much about these issues until now. Not knowing what the ministers were thinking, Kang Mazi let out a long sigh and said, "If possible, I naturally want to take my father back to the palace and return the government to the throne."

Father, at that time I can also be happy at the knees of my father and be an ordinary young man..."

Kang Mazi's words made the hearts of Prince Kang and others raise to their throats. At this moment, Kang Mazi continued to say: "It's just that my father has been captured by thieves. He doesn't know whether he is alive or dead at this moment!"

After Kang Mazi finished speaking, there were two lines of clear tears on Mazi's face. It was obviously not good news, but Prince Kang and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it, and they couldn't help but secretly said: "Good catch!

"

I thought I could think so, but I couldn't say it out loud. I saw Soritu standing up first and saying: "Who is this traitor who is so bold and treasonous that I am willing to lead troops to rescue the old emperor!"

Prince Kang and others also followed behind to express their stance, each one clamoring to personally lead people to rescue the old emperor!

Kang Mazi waved his hand, and Prince Kang and others stopped talking. Kang Mazi then said word by word: "According to the information I got, it was Pingxi Prince's Mansion who did this! I have called you here tonight for discussion.

How to save my father!"

Prince Kang and others frowned when they heard this. Nalan Mingzhu, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice at the time, said: "I have always believed that San Francisco is very harmful and should be eradicated as soon as possible! Now the Prince of Pingxi has committed such a heinous act.

, everyone should be executed! The slave’s suggestion is to send troops in two words!"

Nalan Mingzhu's words deeply satisfied Kang Mazi. Kang Mazi looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"

Prince Kang said: "I also know that the dangers of the Three Feudatories are very great, but a single move can affect the whole body. The three vassals combined have more than 300,000 troops. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Prince Kang did not dare to say any more, and Mazi Kang knew that what Prince Kang said was reasonable. As long as the imperial court mobilized troops against the Pingxi Palace, the Pingxi Palace would definitely raise an army to resist! And King Jingnan and King Pingnan would also rise up and respond to each other from afar.

!It is still unclear who will win and who will lose at that time, but Kang Mazi knows better that this matter must not be delayed any longer!

Nalan Mingzhu was unhappy when she heard this. She flicked her sleeves and said, "Is it possible that we just ignore the old emperor?"

Prince Kang said: "That's not what I meant, but now is really not the time to send troops! We can think of other ways!"

Nalan Mingzhu snorted coldly and then said: "Other ways? Prince Kang, have you ever thought about why the Pingxi Palace wants to arrest the old emperor? There are two reasons. First, the court has been trying to weaken Wu Sangui's control over Yunnan and Guizhou over the years.

But Wu Sangui has been holding on to it! In the first two years, the new governor sent to Guizhou by the imperial court was killed by his old servant in the capital before he left the capital. Although there is no evidence, do you think this matter could be caused by a mere old servant?

Did the servant do it? This shows that Wu Sangui has reached the point of madness, and he wanted to arrest the old emperor because he wanted the imperial court to use a weapon against him!"

Speaking of this, Nalan Mingzhu paused for a moment, with a trace of hesitation on his face. He was a little afraid to continue and glanced at Kang Mazi secretly.

Kang Mazi had been listening carefully to Nalan Mingzhu's words, and suddenly noticed Nalan Mingzhu's little moves and said, "There's no harm in talking, Mingzhu!"

Nalan Mingzhu then continued with a somewhat heavy tone: "Secondly, why would Wu Sangui arrest the old emperor at this time? I'm afraid Wu Sangui couldn't help but want to take action against the imperial court. Catching the old emperor would be a warning to the imperial court... I'm afraid

It’s also...it’s also...!”

Nalan Mingzhu stopped again at this point and said no more.

Every word of Nalan Mingzhu's words struck Kang Mazi's heart. Kang Mazi's pockmarked face became distorted and he said to Nalan Mingzhu: "Keep talking!"

Nalan Mingzhu looked at Kang Mazi's face and felt a little guilty, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Gu Kangmazi slammed the table and said, "I won't blame you even if you say anything tonight!"

Nalan Mingzhu gritted his teeth and continued: "Wu Sangui is notorious among the people. Now that the old emperor has fallen into his hands, I am afraid that the old emperor was his flag-sacrifice tool when he raised his army! And Wu Sangui probably wanted to kill him

After defeating the old emperor, my reputation among the people will be restored, and those who were unwilling to support him in the past will also move closer to him!"

The ministers standing in the upper study room were not idiots. They all thought of what Nalan Mingzhu said to some extent, but they didn't dare to say it out. Even if they didn't expect it, Nalan Mingzhu made a move, and they could have thought of the rest...

…

After Nalan Mingzhu finished speaking, the study room became quiet and became somewhat silent.

After a while, Kang Mazi looked at the ministers below and asked, "What do you think?"

When Kang Mazi heard Prince Kang talk about long-term planning, he ignored it. But when Nalan Mingzhu talked about the war, he asked more details and asked him more questions. He also excused him and allowed him to speak freely.

Prince Kang, who is as smart as a human being, Suo'etu and others still don't know what Kang Mazi is thinking! They knelt on the ground in unison and said: "I agree to send troops! I am willing to do the emperor a favor.

Just die!"

Kang Mazi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, patted the dragon case, stood up, and said, "It would be great if all the ministers could be of the same mind as me! Let's all be safe!"

After Prince Kang and others stood up, he continued: "Actually, the matter has not reached the point of no return! I calculated the time and found that my father should be taken out of Shanxi and into Shaanxi at this time, and he has not even been taken away yet.

Get out of Shanxi!"

Prince Kang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Your Majesty, there are 10,000 Eight Banners garrisoned in Xi'an, and the current commander is Fu Deng, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner. You can send someone to Xi'an to send an order to Fu Deng to stop Pingxi Prince's Mansion.

People, save the old prince!"

Kang Mazi nodded and said: "That's what I have in mind, and I don't necessarily want to attack Prince Pingxi's Palace immediately. If I can stop the people from Prince Pingxi's Palace and rescue my father, it is indeed Xu Xutu's decision to attack Prince Pingxi's Palace."

Very good!"

After speaking, Kang Mazi's eyes became sharp and he said: "If we fail to rescue our father, then we can only strike preemptively and send troops to Yunnan until death!"

Prince Kang and others said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The general direction has been decided, and some details were discussed with Kang Mazi and other ministers.

Kang Mazi kept talking for almost two hours before he stopped. He asked the little eunuch next to him. Unknowingly, it was already midnight!

The matter was almost settled, and Kang Mazi asked the officials to retreat and go home.

Prince Kang and others knelt down and exited the study room. The little eunuch beside Kang Mazi came up and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest!"

Kang Mazi waved his hand and said, "You all get out!"

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Cha!" and then walked out with all the little eunuchs in the study.

Kang Mazi shouted towards the corner of the study room: "Come out!"

The masked man in black from the Thirteenth Yamen came out again. He bowed his body and shouted with a low eyebrow: "Your Majesty!"

Kang Mazi didn't say anything. He stood up from the dragon chair and walked back and forth in the room.

Kang Mazi's face turned green and red, determined and hesitant!

Kang Mazi walked in the study room for a full quarter of an hour before he stopped and wandered back to the man in black.
