Chapter 69 Kangxi is wise after all!

The furious Emperor Kangxi suddenly stopped and stood there, facing his back to his ministers, silent without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the Nan Study room was becoming more and more depressing, including the Cabinet Bachelor, Minister of Political Affairs, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Xue Zhang, Deng Zhong and others who came with the imperial edict all felt that the power was unpredictable, and everyone didn't even dare to say a word of magnanimity.

I don’t know how long it took, but Emperor Kangxi suddenly spoke without warning: “Obai and Murima still have great achievements!”

What's the meaning?

The ministers present were stunned, and then their thoughts began to move.

Oboi and Murima have made great contributions! Do you have no great functions to be such a great official? If you don’t have such a great official, you can be charged with abusing power and chasing politics and then killed? But why are you mentioning this now?

Regret?

I found that the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Chaozhou were very irritating, so I remembered Oboi, and Murima’s good?

If they were still there, even if the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu were not immediately awarded the title, they would not be able to achieve great reputation. There would be no need for Obai to take action and let Murima go to Guangdong, and the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu would not last long. Mishan, who originally thought that the "general tiger" was not much worse than Murima, but it was really blindly commanding his arrangements in the Battle of Jieyang! And the Shang family army, who can fight the most, doesn't obey the command... If Murima was replaced, how could Shang Zhixin dare to do so?

But people cannot be resurrected after death!

Now Oboi and Murima are both dead, and there seems to be no one among the Cabinet Bachelor and the Minister of Political Affairs who are discussing the government is better than Mishan... We can't let "pure civil officials" like Tuhai go to war, right?

This is just the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu are making trouble. If Wu Sangui also rebelled, I really don’t know who should be sent?

When the country was in trouble, Emperor Kangxi spoke again, "Although they had mistakes later, they should not completely erase their merits... Let's do this, I will chase Oboi and Athanihafan, and then I will chase Murima and Tossalahafan, so that their sons can be hereditary.

In addition, all the living Oboi party members and their families, including Oboi and Murima's family, will pardon their crimes, and those who are exiled will be allowed to go home. Those who have the credit and ability will be given the opportunity to serve the country."

"The Holy Name of the Emperor!"

A cheer suddenly sounded in the Nan Study Room!

This is the heartfelt cheer of the ministers, because Emperor Kangxi's performance was indeed worthy of the word "saintly"... After all, it was Kangxi! It is of course overestimated to be praised as the "saint master" in history, but he is by no means a fool. Of course, he knows that at this time, we must maintain unity within the Eight Banners, and we must not create a major case within the Eight Banners because of rumors of "Obai rebellion" or "Obai rebellion".

Even... I don't even look at it! At least I don't look at it on the surface, and I will directly let the "Ao Party" elements who have been knocked down to the ground and still stepped on it back to the big family of the Eight Banners!

Who would be the son of the Eight Banners to be the son of the Eight Banners? Who would be with the rebels like the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Prince Zhu?

"All up!"

Emperor Kangxi turned around, and the anger on his face had long disappeared. After instructing the ministers to calm down, Emperor Kangxi himself sat back on the imperial throne.

"Xue Zhang!" Seeing that everyone was standing, Kangxi called Xue Zhang, the former Chaozhou prefect who followed Xiong Cilu to Beijing.

"I'm here."

Xue Zhang quickly left his shift to worship Emperor Kangxi.

"I heard you painted the graphics of Prince Zhu San and Prince Zhu San?" Kangxi asked, "Did you bring it?"

"Bring it!" Xue Zhang immediately took out two pieces of rice paper from his sleeve and raised it high above his head.

This former Chaozhou prefect was not very capable of arresting rebels, and his political achievements in governing local areas were also poor, and his ability to examine cases was even less worth mentioning. But he was not useless, and he had three outstanding advantages.

First, he is very good-looking, looks particularly upright and majestic, and looks like a famous minister of the generation.

Second, his articles are well written, and among a group of civil servants who came from Jinshi, his writing style is also excellent.

Third, he can draw a brilliant painting, especially if he has worked hard on the iron wire and imitated Wu Daozi's paintings can be real... If his articles are not as outstanding as he can pass the Jinshi and get a corruption, he will probably take the path of making money by making fake paintings.

After catching Zhu Qipao, he painted a portrait of Zhu San Taisun, who looked like a ferocious spirit, and prepared to send it to Beijing for Emperor Kangxi to see the true appearance of the third Taisun.

Unfortunately, Zhu Qipao was rescued by the king Zhu and Daboling at Nanxi Bridge. However, Xue Zhang was able to witness the appearance of "Prince Zhu San and Daboling" with his own eyes. Then he drew graphics for the two with amazing memories - the originals of the paintings and graphics posted everywhere in Chaozhou Prefecture were painted by Xue Zhang himself.

Now two of these three pictures were brought to the Forbidden City by Xue Zhang and placed in front of Emperor Kangxi.

"Why does this bald man look so much like Master Guan Er?" Kangxi picked up Zhu Jushan's portrait and looked at it, his eyebrows twisted, "Is this really the third prince Zhu?"

"Reply to the emperor," Xue Zhang replied, "He should be the third prince Zhu... Before his identity was revealed, this third prince Zhu had been lying in Chaozhou, and he still occupied the mountain in Danan Mountain as the king. He was active near Danan Mountain with the bandit name of Zhu, the Heavenly King on Danan Mountain. Many of the heads of the troop in Chaozhou Prefecture knew him, and the witnesses I brought this time Lu Banting also knew this king Zhu."

Lu Bantu, Lu Renyi, also came to Beijing this time, because he was very familiar with Zhu Hesheng and was considered a relatively reliable witness.

"Oh." Emperor Kangxi nodded, and did not ask more about "How can the banta constable get along with the bandits," but said to Soetu, "Galu, go and bring those two old eunuchs who have seen Prince Zhu San."

"Wao." Galu, the head of the Office of the Internal Affairs, immediately responded to the "Wao", and then left the Nanshu. After a while, two elderly eunuchs were brought in.

They are not a big eunuch, but just a small character who has never made a name for himself. One of them is surnamed Li and the other is surnamed Wang. They have worked as a mate in the palace in the Ming Dynasty and are said to have served Zhu Cijiong. Both of them have left the palace because they are old and weak, and have been retired in the Ciyuan Temple opened by Yang Qilong in the outer city.

After Xiong Cilu met Kangxi yesterday, Galu, the head of the Interior Office, found the two of them according to the will of Emperor Kangxi.

The two old men were not very good at their legs and feet. They were supported by two younger eunuchs and knelt down for Emperor Kangxi. Kangxi asked someone to show them the portraits of Zhu Jushan and Zhu Hesheng, and asked them, "Can you two recognize who is Zhu Cijiong, the King of Ding?"

The two old men squinted their eyes, picked up the picture, and carefully recognized it, and then shook their heads.

"If you go back to the emperor, I won't recognize him..."

"If you go back to the emperor, neither of the people in these two pictures are Zhu Cijiong."

Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly, "None of them? Have you read it carefully?"

"Look carefully, Zhu Cijiong has no beard."

"Yes, he's not bald either..."

Kangxi almost made these two old men amusement. When the two old men served Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Cijiong was only twelve or thirteen years old. How could he grow a beard? And it was impossible to shave his head!

"Do you remember Zhu Cijiong's appearance characteristics?" Kangxi asked again, "Tell me and I have agreed to give you a lot of rewards."

"Remember, when you say that the emperor, I remember that Zhu Cijiong is slapped with eyes, sword eyebrows, and aloof..."

"Yes, he has a red face, he looks fierce and big."

Kangxi looked at Xue Zhang again, saying that the iron wire was painted in plain way, of course it was not colored, so it was Xue Zhang who blushed.

Xue Zhang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, then Prince Zhu's third son is indeed Zhang Da blushed and has a very tall figure."
