Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi are worthy of being the best destiny combination. In just two or three months, they stabilized the court and took over the Qing Dynasty's government power.

In this process, Wei Xiaobao made great contributions. Through some inequality, market means and beheading and assassination operations, he helped Emperor Kangxi eliminate dissidents and control the court. This not only eliminated the bad influence of Oboi's rebellion, but also made the imperial power reach its peak.

For this reason, the young Emperor Kangxi specially granted him the title of First Class Lu Ding Gong.

What is the official position of the First Class Lu Ding Gong?

According to the Qing Dynasty title system, the titles of meritorious officials of different surnames were divided into 9 grades, namely Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, Light Cycling Commander, Cavalry Commander, Yunqiwei, and Enqiwei. Among them, Duke, Marquis, and Earl are super-grade. Below Viscounts, enjoy the treatment of first-rank, and the lowest Enqiwei is the seventh-rank.

Dukes, marquis and earls are divided into three levels, namely first-class dukes, second-class dukes, third-class dukes, first-class marquis, second-class marquis, third-class marquis, first-class Count, second-class Count, and third-class Count.

Wu Sangui and the others did not count, because Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and Sun Kehong hope that the five of them could be crowned kings. That was a special method in a special period, so they had to do it.

Times have changed, and when the Qing Dynasty's rule has stabilized, no matter how much contribution the Han people of different surnames have made, they will not be named kings.

In other words, in this era, among the tens of millions of Han people, except for Wu Sangui and the five, Wei Xiaobao had reached the highest level of Han people of different surnames. This also shows how Kangxi valued Wei Xiaobao.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although Wei Xiaobao helped Emperor Kangxi quickly control the court through various market means and assassination and assassination, many Qing ministers also felt resentful and began to be disloyal to Kangxi.

After all, Wei Xiaobao is just a gangster at the bottom, and his methods are really not up to the point, let alone assassination. Everyone is not a fool. One may be an accident, and two deaths can be said to be a coincidence, but being assassinated by thieves over and over again is something that everyone can think of.

Everyone knows who is behind Wei Xiaobao. If they don’t say it, it doesn’t mean they don’t know.

Strictly speaking, such means have touched the bottom line of the officialdom, even more so than Oboi at the time.

Oboi also needs to pass the court to attack the dissidents and find a reason to kill his political enemies, but what about Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi?

These two people simply didn't take civil and military officials seriously, okay?

Wei Xiaobao was joking and dealing with the officials of the court like a joke, while Emperor Kangxi followed suit. He seemed to be joking like Wei Xiaobao, but in fact he used this method to replace those disobedient people and completely control the court.

Without Xiaozhuang's support, the young and tender methods of the little Emperor Kangxi naturally caused dissatisfaction among civil and military officials in the court, so many people felt that the emperor was not enough to take charge of the rule, and wanted to write a letter to ask the empress dowager to rule behind the curtain.

Of course, such people are a minority after all. After all, Kangxi Gang is not stupid. Although he uses Wei Xiaobao's hands to eliminate dissidents, he also has his own qualities. After suppressing a group of people, he will win over a group of people. He has not really reached the point where the king and his ministers rebelled.

Imperial Palace, Cining Palace!

"The leader, the subordinates have been following the leader's instructions before leaving. Except for the Empress Dowager at the beginning, they kept their doors to thank guests on the grounds of physical discomfort, and rarely met with outsiders, so they did not arouse other people's suspicion."

Long'er regained his identity as a fake queen mother, sat on the couch, and listened quietly to the report of the sword servant.

This sword servant was also the maid who disguised himself as the empress dowager when she left. When she saw Long'er returning, she couldn't help but feel happy and told Long'er about the situation in the palace during the period she had left.

"What changes have happened during this period outside the palace?"

After hearing the personal sword servant report the situation in the past two months, Long'er asked lightly.

If it were in the past, Long'er would never pay too much attention to the situation outside the palace. After all, her previous task was to find and steal the forty-two chapters of the sutra. No matter what happened outside the palace, it had nothing to do with her.

But now it’s different. Since she wants to rule the government behind the curtain and control the Qing court step by step, she needs to pay attention to the affairs of the court and find ways to establish her own power.

When the sword servant heard Long'er's inquiry, he was slightly stunned, and then hesitated: "Muslim leader, because he has been staying in the palace and thanking guests, he does not know much about the situation outside the palace. He only heard that the little emperor seemed to have appointed a eunuch as a first-class Lu Ding Gong, which has aroused many ministers' dissatisfaction."

"In addition, about a month ago, the little emperor came to Cining Palace and said that he wanted to marry Princess Jianning to Princess Pingxi Wu Yingxiong. Because the leader was not here, his subordinates dared not say anything. They just said that the little emperor would do it themselves. Later, after the little emperor issued an order to betroth Princess Jianning to Princess Pingxi, Princess Jianning came to Cining Palace many times and wanted me to ask the little emperor to take back the emperor's order, but I refused."

The maid dared not hide it and told everything she knew, especially the little emperor betrothed Princess Jianning to Princess Pingxi Wu Yingxiong, and even explained the causes and consequences and Princess Jianning's performance in detail.

"First-class Deer Ding Gong?"

"Betroth Jianning to Wu Yingxiong?"

Long'er frowned when he heard the two news and asked in a narrow voice: "Do you know what the eunuch is called?"

The first-class duke was the highest title awarded by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to Han people of different surnames, and the word "deer and tripod" has a profound meaning. The little Emperor Kangxi named a eunuch the first-class duke, which was enough to show his importance to that eunuch.

For some reason, after hearing this news, Long'er couldn't help but think of Wei Xiaobaolai in her mind. She always felt that the little eunuch was extraordinary.

"The leader of the Muslim, the eunuch is named Wei Xiaobao. Oboi died at the hands of this man. The little emperor attaches great importance to him and is the little emperor's biggest confidant."

"I didn't expect it was him."

Long'er was a little surprised. Although this answer was expected, it was reasonable. After all, except Wei Xiaobao, she couldn't think of any eunuch who could make the little Emperor Kangxi value it so much.

She shook her head, unable to understand what kind of skills Wei Xiaobao had, which could actually be promoted to the first-class Duke of Deer Ding against common sense.

Fortunately, Long'er doesn't like being stubborn. Since she can't figure it out, she won't think about it anymore. She looked up at the sword servant in front of her, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, and sneered: "The little Emperor Kangxi issued an order to marry Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong. Then, are Wu Yingxiong and others about to come to the capital?"

She missed Wu Yingxiong very much.

On that day, Wu Yingxiong led his men to attack Shenlong Valley and caused her to suffer a great loss. In addition, the blood feud of hundreds of disciples loyal to the Shenlong Sect, she and the Prince of Pingxi and Wu Sangui and his son were definitely irreconcilable.

In the territory of Wu Sangui, Yunnan, she had no choice but to deal with Wu Sangui and his son. However, if Wu Yingxiong came to the capital, she would definitely let the other party know what regret means.

The Sword Master was not aware of the incident in the Shenlong Valley, so when he heard Long'er's inquiry, he immediately replied: "Muslim Master, Yunnan has not yet heard specific news. However, according to the wedding date, the prince should come to the capital in half a year to prepare to marry Princess Jianning."

"Half a year?"
