Kangxi hesitated for a long time, and it was difficult to make a judgment at the moment.
It wasn't until the little eunuch beside him put on the fallen fox fur that he came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to signal.
"Aozhongtang, after all, this matter is a major matter for Jianning, so I can't make any hasty judgments. Since you are here at starry night, you might as well have a cup of tea first, and we can talk about it slowly and in detail."
"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Xuan was unambiguous and sat down without any hesitation.
When Kangxi saw this, he frowned secretly.
He had known that Ao Bai had been in the army since he was a child, and his long military career made him somewhat reckless.
Especially since the death of Emperor Shunzhi, he has been in charge as the young emperor, and the ministers in the court are basically a little scornful.
Among them, Obai has always treated him as a child. Although he is the crown prince and tutor who has watched him grow up since childhood, how can this imperial power allow others to despise him?
Kangxi had repeatedly tried to warn Obai over the years, and coupled with the gossip in the court, the relationship between Obai and Kangxi was naturally not good.
Under normal circumstances, if Kangxi invited Obai to drink tea like this, Obai would probably turn around and leave. How could he have a serious conversation with a little kid like him?
Although the Cining Palace has always been under the control of the Empress Dowager, no one else can get close to it, and the Shenji Camp's informants have no way to go, but they can't get close enough to take a closer look, but they can still hear some faint movements.
Kangxi hurriedly stepped forward, held his hands and said, "Ao Zhongtang's words are serious."
"...Have you met Jianning?"
Chen Xuan became more and more excited as he spoke. Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and finally he could only laugh.
"The prosperity of the Qing Dynasty is easier said than done. Since the Manchus entered the customs, although the nine states in the Central Plains have been wiped out, the three Han vassal kings are still entrenched in the border areas."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan, this Obei, would actually be willing to chat with him slowly.
Chen Xuan grinned and said directly without concealing it.
Now Chen Xuanxing paid a visit at night and said that the commotion was caused by him and Princess Jianning. Although this was also a treasonous act, in the eyes of Kangxi, it was much better than him directly harming the Queen Mother.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "That's nothing. I have served with the late emperor for half my life, so I naturally don't lack this kind of tea. I remember back in Mohe..."
When Kangxi saw him bringing out these old almanacs, he could only pretend to say, "Ao Zhongtang is my number one warrior in Manchuria. He has outstanding achievements and is certainly admirable."
At that time, Chen Xuan was furious when he met the fake queen mother, and he wanted to seize the luck value belonging to Wei Xiaobao. Naturally, he was not particular about it, and the noise was inevitably loud.
Now that Chen Xuan, Obai, took the initiative to come to him to explain, he suddenly expressed his feelings and waved directly.
"Old minister, I have lived and died for the Qing Dynasty, and I have sworn to protect the Aixinjueluo family to the death. I hope your majesty will show you such loyalty!" As he spoke, Chen Xuan cupped his hands and clasped his fists to salute.
You must know that usually at this time, Obai has already begun to count the old wounds on his body and start to talk about the old almanac of the Manchus entering the customs.
Chen Xuan's words sounded like those of an old minister, but Kangxi sounded awkward. However, despite being awkward, he felt inexplicably relieved.
Kangxi's emotion was originally just talking to himself, but he didn't expect Chen Xuan, the Obai, to suddenly say passionately.
"To be honest, Princess Jianning and I have been admiring each other for a long time. But she suddenly lost her temper today and insisted on urging me to marry her quickly. I am helpless."
"...Okay, okay, Aozhongtang has such ambitions, and he does have the courage of the veteran Lian Po. But for now, let's talk about Jianning."
Just because of what happened in the East Palace, Kangxi was uneasy all day long.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Xuan reluctantly squeezed out a few tears and hugged Kangxi.
Although Ao Bai was domineering, he was also an old official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He had always been at odds with the Han people, and he was the former crown prince and tutor.
As soon as these words came out, Kangxi secretly raised his eyebrows, never expecting that Chen Xuan, an obeisance man, could say such complimentary words.
"You?" Kangxi was stunned, "Ao Zhongtang, are you kidding?"
"Since Your Majesty has such ambition, I am moved to tears and am willing to work hard to lead the troops to pacify the Three Feuds!"
Although Kangxi didn't know why Chen Xuan, the Obai, was suddenly so excited, it still made people feel a little sad when a grown man burst into tears in front of him in the middle of the night.
In particular, Ao Bai was very loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he was a great hero in assisting Shunzhi in his rise to power. He even assisted Kangxi in literary and military strategy, and he was essentially Kangxi's teacher.
Kangxi saw this and was secretly suspicious. He soon realized that Chen Xuan's unusual behavior might be related to his unauthorized entry into Cining Palace today.
"Not bad." Kangxi sighed.
Even though Ao Bai was now running rampant in the government and the public as a veteran minister, and he was showing signs of wasting his imperial power, in his heart Kangxi still had a trace of affection for Ao Bai.
"The veteran is loyal and courageous, and has pure ambition. Naturally, he will not say any pretentious and false words!"
Kangxi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Aozhongtang, I don't know why you suddenly mentioned Jianning, and why you came to see me in such a hurry?"
Kangxi was very angry when he heard the news about Shenji Camp. If it hadn't happened suddenly, he might have led his people to capture Chen Xuan, the obeisance.
"Yes, I visited Cining Palace today and met the princess once."
"Your Majesty, are you talking about Wu Sangui and other culprits of the Three Feuds?"
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sigh.
"If the culprit of the Three Feuds is not eliminated, the Qing Dynasty will never be stable and prosperous. It is a pity that my Eight Banners disciples have been fighting for years, and the soldiers and horses are exhausted. In addition, the government and the opposition are still undecided, so there is no way to deal with the Three Feuds issue for the time being.
"
I didn't expect that he could say such words now.
Previously, the informants of the Shenji Camp discovered that Chen Xuan had broken into the Cining Palace and faintly caused quite a stir with the Queen Mother in the palace.
"Your Majesty is so ridiculous. I have been serving as a soldier for half of my life, and I have nothing else to do. I just want my Qing Dynasty to prosper, and the Aixinjueluo family to live long and prosperous for thousands of years."
Kangxi was shocked at this, but Chen Xuan was so dedicated that he felt like he was bursting into tears when he spoke.
Now Kangxi and Chen Xuan, an obeisance, were chatting about the Three Feuds. Since they were both Manchus, there was no need to argue too much.
"Why are you standing there? Go and prepare some refreshments. Can you let me and Mr. Zhongtang chat here?"
Otherwise, in the original plot, he did not train wrestling boys to capture Obai alive, but ordered people to chop him up directly.
The two of them were moved for a while in the room, and finally Kangxi personally sent Chen Xuan out of the palace wearing a fox fur coat.
Seeing Chen Xuan's figure going away in a small sedan, Kangxi couldn't help but secretly sigh.
"After all, he is an old minister of the late emperor. This Obai...why is he still running to the East Palace?!"
