Chapter 239 How Loyal!

"Zu Zeqing has submitted a memorandum again!"

Emperor Kangxi took the secret letter that Zu Zeqing had just sent to Beijing with helplessness and said to a group of ministers in the Nan Study Room: "He said in the letter that although he fled without a fight in Guangdong, he robbed the Fanzhuang Banner of Princess Dingnan's Mansion after arriving in Guangxi, and took over the Guangxi Governor's Yamen, Guangxi Governor's Yamen and Dingnan General's Mansion and other important yamen also sent troops to occupy Wuzhou City Cangwu, Pingle City Pingle City, Guilin City Lingui City, and Maping City Liuzhou City, and also sent troops to block the key passes between Hunan and Guizhou City Huangsha Pass and Longhu Pass. But he was still loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he was my loyal slave!

He also said that now the generals in Guangxi are gone, the admirals are gone, and the governors are not sure where they are, so he wants to be a general guarding Guangxi, to defend the world of Guangxi for me and our Qing Dynasty! Do you think that Zu Zeqing is my loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty?"

How could this Zu Zeqing be so shameless?

The ministers in the Nan Study were shocked by what Emperor Kangxi said!

These guys have seized four prefectures and expelled Guangxi's governors, vantai, Nietai, and Xuetai. They also left Dingnan General's Mansion and Guangxi Admiral Ma Xiong in Guilin, and drove away all the people in Liuzhou! Things have been done so to this point, how could they still have the face to report to the emperor for his loyalty and his request to be named General Guangxi?

"Emperor, the servant Soetu thinks that Zu Zeqing is still a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty!"

Tuhai is not there, and the second-class secretary of Zhonghe Hall, Jinbatai, is a Han military flag. Therefore, the Grand Secretary of Baohe Hall, Soetu, became the top leader among Grand Secretary. Of course, he has a strong say in the issue of Zuzeqing's loyalty and unfaithfulness.

Moreover, he also understood Emperor Kangxi's thoughts, so as soon as Kangxi's question was raised, he was the first to set the tone.

"He is like this, can he still be considered a loyal minister?" Emperor Kangxi seemed to disagree with Soetu's opinion, frowned slightly, and his eyes slid towards Nalan Mingzhu, who had just been transferred to the position of the Minister of War.

But before Mingzhu could kneel down, Soetu continued Kangxi's question: "Emperor, I think that with the relationship between Zu Zeqing and Wu Ni, I can hold a position of self-restraining and dealing with it on three sides, to our Qing Dynasty, it is a loyal minister. Moreover, Wu Ni's soldiers are about to break out of Yunnan and Guizhou and enter the Hunan court and Guangxi's contact with Guangxi may be interrupted at any time. If the court does not give Zu Zeqing the title of Guangxi general now, and when Baoqing Prefecture in Hunan, Yongzhou Prefecture is occupied by Wu Ni, the court will not be able to seal Zu Zeqing even if he wants to seal Zu Zeqing."

Emperor Kangxi snorted: "Will my Guangxi general come out sooner, and he will kill him?"

Soetu said: "Isn't the emperor set up half-vassals in Guangxi just to win over the old subordinates of Dingfan? Isn't it just to get them to restrain Wu Ni from the side and to separate the connection between the two vassals of Pingxi and Pingnan?

Although the Pingfan in Guangdong is almost gone, if the third prince of the pseudo-Zhu and Wu Ni work together, the harm will be even greater. Therefore, it would be great to have Zu Zeqing intervene in Guangxi to block Wu Ni."

Emperor Kangxi asked: "With him, Zu Zeqing, was he inserted into Guangxi, and Wu Ni and the third prince of the pseudo-Zhu, would they have different intentions?"

Soetu smiled and said, "That's of course, since ancient times, the third prince of the pseudo-Zhu Zhu got Guangdong and went north and east to the east were blocked by Wu Ni and King Jingnan. Then the third prince of the pseudo-Zhu Zhu would definitely develop towards Guangxi. Zu Zeqing was Wu Ni's cousin. Once he was forced by the third prince of the pseudo-Zhu Zhu, he would definitely seek help from Wu Ni. If Zu Zeqing could reach this point, he could be compared with Feng Ting, the loyal minister of Han during the Warring States Period!"

Feng Ting was the magistrate of Shangdang who was unwilling to cede land to Qin and led Shangdang County to surrender to Zhao. Because he promoted Shangdang to Zhao, the battle of Changping was triggered. Although Zhao was defeated, Qin also suffered a lot of losses. Feng Ting's actions should have the effect of delaying the demise of South Korea. For South Korea, of course, he was a loyal minister.

Kangxi nodded slightly and said to himself: "This is reasonable. But how much money did you have to pay for the Zu family?"

"Mingzhu, what do you think?" Kangxi did not make a decision immediately, but still solicited Mingzhu's opinions.

"Emperor," Mingzhu immediately went out of work to kneel down, "I thought that the settlement of the score could be kept for Qiu Hou, Zu Zeqing was loyal or rebellious, and could wait until the court wiped out the two gangs of Wu Ni and the pseudo-Crown Prince Zhu before distinguishing it now, why not let him ask for what he asked first and give him a chance to make contributions and redeem himself."

"So you have collected money too!" Although Emperor Kangxi felt like a mirror in his heart, it was indeed not the time to settle accounts with Zuze.

"Then I will issue an edict," said Kangxi, "If you entrust Zuzeqing to become the general of Guangxi, he will have the final say in Guangxi's general!"

"The emperor is wise!"

After hearing what Kangxi said, the ministers below all shouted Shengming together. I guess the Zu family had already managed the place.

Emperor Kangxi sighed, picked up another question book, and said to the people below: "This is the question book handed over by the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. Two Kings of Pingnan died for the country on the same day. They are really loyal and martyrs! The court must be given preferential treatment and must not let the hearts of loyal ministers be disgraced!"

Kangxi paused and said, "In addition, the loyal and martyrdom of the King of Pingnan cannot let the inheritance of the King of Pingnan be cut off."

As soon as he said this, his father-in-law Gabula hurried in again because there was a "head bombing incident", so during this period, Gabula squatted at Taihe Gate every day to see the gate. He had to unpack and check all the questions and secret copies, so don't send a bomb in to blow up the little Holy Lord Kangxi!

When Gabula found any particularly bad news when he checked, he would come to report it in person, so Emperor Kangxi had a little psychological shadow when he saw this father-in-law.

However, the Holy Lord's psychological quality is still very good. Although he is full of shadows, he is calm and composed in terms of face.

"Emperor, Emperor" Gabula came in a hurry, and saw Kangxi while kowtowing.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, say it slowly if you have something to do." Emperor Kangxi smiled and said to his father-in-law that he was panicked, so he should not show his timidity in his face!

"Emperor, Prince Pingnan has arrived at Taihe Sect."

Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Xuan, Xuan, he went to the palace!"

Gabula seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment. Kangxi was afraid that he would report any bad news again, so he quickly sent him: "Go quickly, go quickly, I'm still waiting to see the prince of Pingnan!"

"Yeah!"

After hearing what Kangxi said, Gabula hurriedly went again. After a while, Gabula came in with a tall man in mourning clothes and a seventh-rank sesame official.

Of course, Shang Zhixin came. Shang Zhidian's sons were busy handling the funeral of their father and grandfather during this period, and had no time to come to Emperor Kangxi to ask for succession to the throne. Moreover, they did not dare to be King Pingnan anymore. During this period, they had lost two King Pingnan! Who would dare to do it again?

Besides, Shangfan's army has lost its territory, so where can we go to King Pingnan?

Emperor Kangxi was so busy these days that he didn't recognize Shang Zhixin at all. He just felt that this guy was a little old, not like Shang Zhidian's son. So he blurted out: "Criminal, why are you so old?"

When he heard this question, Shang Zhixin cried out with grievance! He was loaded into a prison car, sleeping in the open, and was still worried. How could he not see old age?

Thinking of this, he thumped to Kangxi and said, "Slave Shang Zhixin knew he was guilty, so he felt guilty and couldn't sleep at night, so he saw the old man."

"You are Shang Zhixin!" Emperor Kangxi then realized that the person coming was Shang Zhixin, and his head suddenly became angry, "Here are you here!"

"Yeah!"

The imperial guards guarding outside the door rushed in immediately, all glaring at Shang Zhixin, waiting to get the person.

But they waited for a while, but never waited for Emperor Kangxi to issue an order to arrest people.

Because Emperor Kangxi had already stayed there, the little saint suddenly realized that he didn't know what serious crimes the bastard Shang Zhixin committed?

He seems to be guilty!

Not only was he not guilty, he also exposed that Wu Sangui colluded with Prince Zhu San, who was a meritorious minister!
