Traveling from The Deer and Ding Tale

Chapter 70 It's better to be active than passive

According to common sense, Prince Kang, Suo'etu, Chaerzhu and others who were deadly enemies with Oboi before were all reused after Oboi's death, so should Suksaha.

But in fact, after Obai's death, Suk Saha remained like an invisible person. Although he was not demoted, he was not reused by Kangxi.

Rao Sukesaha's official life has been ups and downs, but he can't figure out the trick.

So, he begged to Zhou Ping'an's door.

Zhou Pingan naturally knew the mystery of it well. It can even be said that the reason why Suksaha was temporarily ignored by Kangxi was due to Zhou Pingan's "credit".

In the final analysis, Suksaha was a trump card reserved by Zhou Pingan before he got rid of Oboi.

Otherwise, Zhou Ping'an wouldn't bother to save Suksaha.

However, Zhou Pingan had never found a suitable opportunity to play Suksaha's hole card before.

At this time, it was time for Obai to make his debut, and Zhou Ping'an thought of Sophia again. Suk Saha's trump card would give him a chance to make his debut.

Precisely because of this, after Zhou Ping'an's few words of advice, Suksaha suddenly became enlightened.

In a few days, Kangxi received a secret report from Suksaha, saying that he had found the trace of Oboi near Lake Baikal.

Sure enough, as soon as the secret report was delivered, Suksaha was immediately summoned by Kangxi, asking him to take over the task of investigating and even assassinating Oboi from Prince Kang Jieshu.

Because Prince Kang participated in the implementation of the off-job training policy for in-service officials, his energy was already scattered a lot. At this moment, seeing the hot potato thrown out, and with the help of Zhou Pingan, Kangxi was not angry, and he was in a bad mood.

Of course, taking advantage of the gap between Suksaha's tears of gratitude and almost kneeling for Zhou Ping'an, Zhou Ping'an also used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms skill, and shot a beggar's golden hoop ball into Suk's mouth. Saha's wine glass.

Zhou Ping'an feels that it is not appropriate to use the loyalty talisman for important ministers like Suo'etu, Prince Kang, and Suksaha for the time being.

After all, it would be best to be able to trigger the permanent loyalty attribute, but if it doesn't, and Kangxi finds out, then things will be very difficult to handle.

Only at the final showdown, if there is really no other way, then release the loyalty charm to gain buffer time.

On this day, Zhou Ping'an had just finished fighting with Kangxi, and after absent-mindedly accepting 2000 taels of silver, Kangxi handed him a brochure, "Xiao Guizi, take a look."

"Tsk tsk, this old tortoise has a pretty sharp nose. Just as our side got a little murderous, he came to test it out."

Zhou Pingan said with a smile, "It is estimated that Wu Sangui belongs to the dog family."

It turned out that it was Wu Sangui who took the initiative to send someone to ask Kangxi to marry Princess Jianning.

Obviously, Wu Sangui, who had experienced the ups and downs of the battlefield and officialdom, also keenly felt the approaching murderous intention when Kangxi began to plan against him.

In order to test Kangxi, Wu Sangui took the initiative to ask his son Wu Yingxiong to marry Princess Jianning to see Kangxi's reaction.

"Will Princess Jianning marry or not?"

Zhou Pingan wanted to know what choice Kangxi would make when he didn't know the truth about Jianning.

"To be honest, I'm the only younger sister, and I'm really unwilling to let her marry Wu Yingxiong."

As Kangxi said, he stood up from the ground, punched the pillar resentfully, and continued: "However, if you don't agree to Wu Sangui, maybe you will force him to rebel in advance, which is not good for the overall situation after all. "

Zhou Ping'an secretly sighed, although Kangxi was an outstanding statesman who could always analyze the pros and cons clearly, but in terms of backbone, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, even Chongzhen, who was at the end of his life, still abided by the ancestral motto of the Ming Dynasty: "No marriage, no indemnity, no cession of land, no tribute, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies."

Zhou Ping'an has always felt that that is the backbone that a country, a nation, and a dynasty should have. The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the backbone cannot be lost.

"En? Little Guizi, why don't you speak?" Kangxi asked suspiciously.

"Xiao Xuanzi, what does the Queen Mother Mao say? After all, the princess is her daughter after all." Zhou Pingan talked about him.

"The Empress Dowager said that you had more contact with Wu Yingxiong, and she also let me take your opinion as the main point." Kangxi said.

Obviously, even if she married her own daughter, the fake queen mother Mao Dongzhu would not dare to make her own claims in front of Zhou Ping'an.

"." Zhou Pingan said helplessly, "Little Xuanzi, if you do this, those who don't know will think that I am marrying my sister to marry my daughter.

However, speaking of it, Wu Yingxiong's growth is not bad, and the family is rich, so the princess will not suffer a disadvantage if she marries.In fact, as long as he, Wu Sangui, surrenders his military power and doesn't restrain himself, it doesn't matter if he has the false title of prince."

Zhou Ping'an didn't say it out loud, Jianning, the daughter of a gangster, you are lucky to be able to marry the prince's son who is guarding one side.

"Of course I know this, but this old turtle has been a soldier all his life, how could he hand over his military power." Kangxi sighed.

"Otherwise, I'll be a marriage envoy and escort the princess to Yunnan. Let's start with him a training for in-service officials. If he rejects this, the princess won't marry. If he accepts, we'll have a long-term plan." .”

Zhou Ping estimated that Kangxi would still make up his mind to marry Jianning to Wu Yingxiong to stabilize Wu Sangui, and he had the highest probability of being a marriage envoy.

Anyway, the result is basically predictable, rather than being passive, it is better to be proactive.

"Very well, Xiao Guizi, I also have the same intention. In this way, if you need anything, imperial decree, soldiers, horses, followers, just ask." Kangxi said happily.

After helping Kangxi fool Princess Jianning, Zhou Pingan set off for Yunnan with a large group of imperial guards, Xiaoqiying, Jiang Zuomen and other Jianghu masters, and Mr. Chongru Academy.

Jiu Nan and A Ke also pretended to be court ladies and mixed into the crowd.

Especially Ake, when she heard that she was going to pretend to be a palace maid serving Zhou Pingan, she was so happy that she almost vomited Zhou Pingan after eating a bowl of fermented fermented eggs every morning.

Zhou Ping'an was not idle either. Every time he went to a place, after receiving the filial piety from the local officials, he pretended to imply, intentionally or unintentionally, how much the current emperor attached importance to the new policy of training the in-service officials.

It was too late for a group of local officials to curry favor with Zhou Pingan, a big celebrity in front of the emperor. As soon as they heard that the incumbent officials left their posts for training, they immediately rolled out the new policy in full swing.

By the way, Zhou Ping'an also took care of the Jianghu forces along the road.

As for Princess Jianning's SAO, Zhou Ping'an just ignored it.

Although Wu Sangui's fiefdom is in Yunnan, he has a large number of troops stationed in Yunnan and Guizhou, and has actually included Guizhou in his territory.

Sure enough, as soon as Princess Jianning and her party entered the border of Guizhou, Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses came to greet them.

When Wu Yingxiong saw that Zhou Ping'an was just a fifth-rank eunuch when they met last time, he could not help being surprised and surprised that he had transformed into a first-rank official in just a few months.

After a few more days, they were about to reach Kunming, when suddenly the bugle sounded loudly, and a rather vigorous officer came on horseback to report: "Prince Pingxi is here to welcome Princess Luanjia."
