Chapter 68: All promoted? What about me?

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, and the civil and military ministers listed Gao Xianda as the imperial guard, standing upright behind the emperor.

His identity is a little awkward. As the deputy general manager of the guards, he actually doesn't have to stand in the ranks, unlike ordinary guards. However, his grade is not enough, and he is not a court minister, so he is not qualified to participate in the morning court.

So this is the first time Gao Xianda has participated in the morning court, and he is a little excited!

He was in charge of the security work inside the palace and was not familiar with the security above the court. He felt that there were many strange faces among the samurai in front of the temple standing outside today, and it was thought that it was a different person.

Although Kangxi was young, he had been in power for two years. His style and demeanor are already quite emperor-like. When Gao Xiandi reached the same place, he often had a childish character, but when facing the ministers, he was serious and had a stern face, which made people unable to guess.

First, the requests from various departments were made, and there were no important events that were good recently. Most of the matters have been reported in the form of memorials, and Kangxi has also given a reply, but there are only changes, so I will discuss it for a while.

After chatting for a while, it became the highlight.

An official reported that the regent minister, the first-class Wugong, and the youngest guardian of Oboi, died in the house last night due to ineffective treatment of illness at the age of 55.

At this time, it can be seen that there are also great differences among these officials. Some immediately showed a panic state; some did not respond, and seemed to have known about this matter long ago; and some were very proud and seemed to have been prepared.

"I understand." Kangxi nodded, "Obai was a public servant throughout his life, worked diligently, and made great contributions to our Qing Dynasty. He was posthumously promoted to the position of Grand Tutor, with the posthumous title of "Wu", and was buried with him with great glory!"

"Zhe." The person below replied.

Then Kangxi said: "But Oboi's first-class duke was not hereditary, and there was no outstanding descendant. He promoted his son Dafu to a minister of scattered ranks without titles. He took back his land and fiefdom for other purposes. He sent the imperial envoy Soetu to seize the seal."

He said this, just to set his character for Oboi, to cast aside his identity as Oboi, and to be promoted to his son's office, but in fact he took over his property.

At this time, the prepared officials stood up. They seemed to have their own channels and had already known about the news of Oboi's assassination in advance. They guessed that there might be a change of power, so they wanted to stand in advance. So they participated in the court in which the Oboi group, with Bamburshan as the core, deceiving the emperor and abusing power, citing several serious crimes such as the traitor.

Before going to court, Kangxi had already done his homework, learned about the camp and identity of these people, and saw them thoroughly. He knew who had a great grudge against Oboi and who was trying to protect himself in the last days.

But it’s a good thing for someone to stand up. Kangxi’s face was clear and the ancient well was correct.

Bamburshan and others also knew about Oboi's death. In fact, they were also prepared secretly, but they didn't expect Kangxi to take action so quickly. As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, there were warriors in front of the palace coming to the front of the palace to take it down, the generals of the Minister of the Inner Guard, Bamburshan, Oboi's younger brother Murima, Minister of Personnel Asha, Minister of War Gachuha, Minister of Revenue Marse, Minister of Revenue Taibitu and others, and they were taken down and sent to the Ministry of Justice, and handed over to the Censorate, and Dali Temple for interrogation.

These are the core members of the Six Ministry. First-rank officials in the court held high power. If they were not left behind, Kangxi would be unable to sit firmly.

However, adhering to the principle that evil must be dealt with and the rest are not counted, Kangxi did not change his official positions on a large scale, but only gave up a few people who could only flatter and flatter. There was no change in the officials other than that. Instead, he also symbolically promoted several Oboi best-party officials to calm the people's hearts. Although they were Oboi's party, they were very capable and had a good reputation in the court.

When Oboi saw each other, even these hardcores could be promoted. This shows that the appointment of the young emperor was not just a political struggle, but was mainly based on achievements. They felt that they should be able to keep the black veil, and they all celebrated each other, saying that the emperor was wise.

Of course, in fact, the Secretary of the core departments was still held by the direct descendants of Kangxi Malay. And as Gao Xianda said, he was promoted to Duolong and granted him the position of the Minister of the Inner Guard of the Zhenghuang Banner of Banbulshan, and he was still in charge of the palace guards. However, the scope was not limited to the Ganqing Palace, but the entire Forbidden City. Moreover, he was the Inner Guard of the Zhenghuang Banner, and he was the six Inner Guards, and now he is the legitimate "General Manager".

Kangxi indeed had the ability to rule and completed a magnificent personnel incident in minutes. However, Gao Xianda was not promoted, so he was inevitably a little aggrieved.

After the ministers' thoughts calmed down a little, Kangxi raised another question: "I have received a report recently. King Pingxi is preparing to send his crown prince Wu Yingxiong to Beijing to report the matter. What do you think?"

The King of Pingxi was in the Yun and Guizhou provinces, and I don’t know how much money and ointment had been scrapped. A large part of it was also sent to the homes of officials in the court. So these officials got the benefits and naturally kept saying good things about Wu Sangui, saying that since he sent the prince, he was naturally loyal and commended, and should be highly praised.

Kangxi's face had no expression, but his body was trembling slightly. Gao Xianda could only see it when he was closer to him, so the other ministers naturally had nowhere to feel it. Gao Xianda knew that Kangxi was very angry. However, his face could not be expressed, which shows his cultivation skills.

Kangxi laughed at this time and said, "You are very reasonable. Wu Sangui is a big loyal minister. Together with Ao Shaobao, he can be regarded as the two cornerstones of my Qing Dynasty! He laid the foundation for my Qing Dynasty! He should definitely be rewarded well. Since Ao Shaobao is already in the sky, I am going to give Wu Yingxiong the position of Shaobao. I wonder what the ministers think?"

When he was just doing large-scale personnel changes, he did not discuss with the ministers. Now he compared Wu Sangui and Oboi, and asked the ministers about their opinions. These ministers were a little upset and didn't know what Kangxi was thinking.

Kangxi waited for a long time but didn't see anyone reply, so he asked again.

At this time, a minister named Nalan Mingzhu stood up. Gao Xianda recognized him. He was a doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a fifth-rank official. He did not have the right to attend court meetings, but if the emperor had any questions about the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he could also be introduced to the court.
