Chapter 53: Aobai is a loyal minister, and Aijia is sorry for him!
Imperial Palace, in Wanshou Palace!
Xiaozhuang lay on the side of the soft collapse. She squinted her eyes slightly, as if she was taking a nap.
In front of her, there were two rows of palace maids, and behind her was an old eunuch. They were like sculptures, motionless, as if afraid of disturbing the owner of the palace.
Suddenly, a slight footsteps came from outside the hall, and a large inner guard dressed in the guards walked in from the outer hall with slightest steps.
The man seemed to have something urgent, but before he could speak, he saw the old eunuch behind Xiaozhuang shook his head slightly and signaled him not to disturb the palace master for a nap.
"But what happened?"
As she grows old, her sleep becomes shallow. Although the guards' steps are light, they still wake up Xiaozhuang. She slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her forehead with her hands, and asked the guards' commander in a warm voice.
Although her voice was a little old, it made people feel comfortable. It was not as majestic as a superior. Instead, it was like an ordinary old man, giving people an approachable feeling.
The guard commander saw Xiaozhuang wake up, bowed slightly, and replied: "You report to the Empress Dowager, and there is news below that the people from the Vajra Temple quietly entered Beijing yesterday and entered the Aobai Mansion.
In addition, several of Oboi's confidants also quietly returned to the capital without a vocation. The slave suspected that there was something strange about it, so after receiving the news, he did not dare to hide it and asked the Empress Dowager to be the Holy Tribunal."
When Xiaozhuang heard the report from the guard commander, he did not reply directly. He just sighed quietly: "The emperor's grandson is a little anxious. Ai family also understands that if he hadn't really noticed something and was forced to do such a thing, he wouldn't have done anything like this."
Xiaozhuang Youyou commented, she seemed to know Oboi very well and continued, "Oboi also made contributions to my Qing Dynasty. If he hadn't tried his best to save the Lord, Taizong might have been gone until our Qing Dynasty was established.
In addition, if it weren't for Oboi's desperate support, the Ai family and the Emperor Shunzhi would not know what they would have been bullied. So, although Oboi was a little domineering, he had made contributions to the Qing Dynasty, the Ai family, and the Emperor Shunzhi."
Xiaozhuang was talking about Oboi's contributions in a lingering manner, as if he was trapped in some kind of memory.
At the end, she changed the subject and seemed to have an indescribable helplessness. She sighed again: "But, the Ai family is old. When Ai family is there, there is Ai family under pressure. Obai is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. If Ai family disappears one day, it will be hard to say."
Xiaozhuang's words made the guard commander in front of her feel terrified and said anxiously: "The Empress Dowager is happy and lucky. How can he grow old? Even if the slave is old, the Empress Dowager will not grow old."
Xiaozhuang waved his hand when he heard this, like an ordinary old lady, and said, "There is no one in the world who will never grow old. The Ai family only hopes that in this last time, they can do the best thing for the Qing Dynasty and the emperor's grandson."
"Speaking of this, Oboi doesn't owe us the Qing Dynasty, but our Qing Dynasty owes him a lot. If it were not forcing him, the Ai family really didn't want to attack him!"
Xiaozhuang looked a little sad, and seemed to feel a little sad, so he thought about it and said to the old eunuch behind him: "Great companion, if you go to the Master of Long Sui later, let's say what the Ai family said, Obai has made contributions to our Qing Dynasty, so unless it is absolutely necessary, don't harm his life, take his title, and just ban it. When the old woman is out of control, she will have a companion when she leaves."
When the old eunuch heard this, a smile like a chrysanthemum appeared on his face and said, "Don't worry, master, I will go to Master Wansui's place later and tell Master Wansui's meaning."
Xiaozhuang nodded, looked at the old eunuch apologized, and said, "The emperor's grandson of the Ai family is not thorough in their consideration. He just wanted to transfer Aobai's confidant members, but he didn't know that the biggest threat lies with Obai himself. So, my great companion, you may have to ask you to go there again this time and stay by the emperor's grandson for a while, in case Aobai jumped over the wall and injured him."
To be honest, Xiaozhuang felt very conflicted. In fact, she didn't want to attack Oboi, because the Qing court now seems to be strong, but in fact it is internal and external troubles, and it is possible that a big mess may occur if you are not careful.
She felt that although Obai was a little domineering, she still had no doubt about her loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. In addition, Obai was one of the few powerful generals in the Qing Dynasty. With Obai, both the Three Feudatories and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty could be cautious and dare not cause trouble.
Originally, she thought that if she waited for another three or four years, she would take Oboi away one day. At that time, her royal grandson would also grow up and be able to take power, so that she would not cause too much trouble.
But she had made great calculations, but she still couldn't figure out that her grandson had such ambition and wanted to get rid of Oboi by herself and take power in advance.
Although Xiaozhuang was unwilling to attack Oboi, he would not stop his grandson from taking action.
Because she felt that this was good, the young eagle always had to learn to fly. When she was alive, even if the emperor's grandson made a big mess, she could still suppress it. If she didn't stay away one day and her grandson made a big mess, then the entire Qing Dynasty would be over.
As for Oboi, he just thought it was for his grandson to practice his skills.
Although I feel sorry for Oboi to do this, I can only do this for her grandson and the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, she still felt a little sorry for Aobai, because although everyone outside said that Aobai was arrogant and domineering, no one knew that a large part of Aobai's current reputation was spread by her.
After all, the emperor was young, and there were three feudal servants outside, and there were court officials inside that were dissatisfied. If they did not establish the target of Aobai, the country of Aixin Jueluo would be really dangerous.
Just like in history, when many dynasties were unable to rule in their power when they were young, powerful ministers like Oboi would always appear, controlling the court, tying power over the government, and doing this and that would make the heavens angry and resentful.
Then when the emperor becomes an adult and takes power, the powerful minister will be eradicated. In this way, the world will be returned to the hands of the world.
Kill one person and rely on the resentment of the people in the world, kill one person and control the power of the lost country, which is simple.
If such powerful ministers did not appear, the court could operate in an orderly manner without an emperor, the country would be prosperous and the people would be peaceful, and the world would be peaceful.
So, what else do you need the emperor to do?
If that happens, the emperor will become an optional person, and I am afraid he is not even as good as a puppet.
This is power conspiracy!
Xiaozhuang is familiar with such methods. After all, there have been many empress dowagers who have ruled behind the scenes from ancient times to the present, but the empress dowagers who can support two generations of children and grandchildren under the spying of wolves and allow them to successfully take power. The only one is Xiaozhuang.
When the old eunuch heard Xiaozhuang's orders, he was a little hesitant and said, "Master, it's not that the old slave is unwilling to protect the Long Live Master, but that the people of the Shenlong Sect of the King of Pingxi are still lurking in the palace. If the old slave no longer protects his master, if they are disturbed by the master, then the old slave will be dead and not be able to resign his crime."
It is obvious that Xiaozhuang and others are not ignorant of the Shenlong Sect, and they even know clearly that behind the Shenlong Sect is the Pingxi Palace.
However, compared to the little Emperor Kangxi, the old eunuch was most concerned about Xiaozhuang, so he rarely hesitated after hearing Xiaozhuang's orders.
Xiaozhuang didn't take the old eunuch seriously and smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't Summer still with the Ai family? In addition, the people of the Shenlong Sect only plan for forty-two chapters of sutras. If it were not necessary, how could they attack me, the old woman?"
The old eunuch thought about it carefully and finally nodded.
However, he was a little worried and said, "Master, why not transfer Boerchi and others back. If you have a slave, you can just have a person."
"No, it's important to have the Emperor's grandson. Just let Borchi and the others protect the Emperor's grandson. With Sumer and the others here, there is no need to worry about the Ai family."
Xiaozhuang waved his hand and rejected the good intentions of the old eunuch. She looked at the old eunuch and said sternly: "Big companion, you have to remember that the most important thing is the Emperor. Our Qing Dynasty can have no Ai family, but we cannot have the Emperor. So if something really happens, we must put Emperor Longsheng first. Do you understand?"
