Chapter 70: Tang Ruowang, the foreign god stick, can really count!

Gao Xianda suddenly got promoted, but he couldn't be happy. He knew that this mission must not be as simple as it seemed.

The Minister of the Imperial and Military Affairs Office was a first-rank official position, mainly responsible for the emperor's travel. If Kangxi had no traveling to worship heaven and ancestors, he would have no work. Arranged this position for him was nothing more than to give him a first-rank official title.

He then promoted him as the deputy minister of the inner guard and appointed him as the deputy governor of the Xiaoqi battalion. Both positions were deputy positions, but they were also from the first and second ranks, and there was no need to stay on the post. He gave him this title so that he could just command the imperial guards and the officers and soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion with justification.

But the common feature of these three positions is that even if he is not in the capital, there is no difference, so he is very suitable to welcome Wu Yingxiong as an imperial envoy. It can be said that these three official titles are for him to complete this errand.

But then again, although it is said that it is to bring heavy troops to greet you, there is no need to bring more than 2,000 people... It’s not about going to war!

But Gao Xianda only has the only one who thanks Lord Long for his kindness.

After retreating from the court, Gao Xianda escorted Kangxi back to the study room. This time, Soetu and Prince Kang were not followed.

Soetu was promoted to Grand Secretary of the National Academy of History, but at this time the system of meetings for the king and ministers of the government was still implemented, so Grand Secretary was not the prime minister. However, it was also an extraordinary position. He was also responsible for counting Oboi's property, so he was very busy.

Prince Kang is similar. In order to control his power as soon as possible, he was supervised by the Ministry of Personnel and urged him to complete personnel changes to ensure that no accidents occurred.

At this time, there were only Kangxi and Gao Xianda in the study. Kangxi said, "Ruidong, what do you think about the promotion to you this time?"

Gao Xianda said: "The emperor is wise and far-sighted, how can the weak ministers think about it?"

The meaning of this sentence is: I don’t know, I don’t say it if I know!

Kangxi said: "Don't talk about foresight, just give your opinions. Do you think there is any problem with this personnel change?"

Gao Xianda said: "I am ignorant and did not see any problem. If I insist on saying it, I just think that the number of people who went to greet Wu Yingxiong this time is too many. Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Not to mention the capital, even the Zhili and Tianjin area are very safe, and there are no large-scale bandits. If you are a support envoy, a team of three or five hundred people will be considered a mighty one. Why should you send two thousand people?"

Kangxi smiled and said, "It's this problem. You always claim to be stupid, but you can often see through the key to the problem."

Gao Xianda said: "The weak minister is indeed stupid."

Kangxi said: "This time I sent you to pick him up is still a cover. In order to show our importance to King Pingxi and the luxury of security. But the ministers also said before that the bandits of the Tiandihui have been very rampant recently..."

Gao Xianda said: "We sent so many people. If Wu Sangui's heir had a few shortcomings, he would never complain about us."

Kangxi nodded and said, "The Three Feudatories and Zheng Shi have always been inconsistent, and even if they are cooperation, they are driven by interests. If we can make Wu Sangui attack Taiwan with a determined will, we can watch the tiger fight."

Gao Xianda said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let the news that General Mao Shiba Wu Yingxiong is going to Beijing. I will not worry about the rebels from the Tiandihui Association being unmoved."

Kangxi said: "He doesn't need to do the news, I have my own arrangements. You can make more preparations these days and go to the Knight Camp. The masters of King Pingxi are free, and this time they send the prince to come. I'm afraid that all the top experts are here. I know you are invincible and fearless. But if you rely solely on those men in the martial arts world, it may be difficult to accomplish anything."

"I understand." Gao Xianda hurriedly said, "I will take advantage of these few days to pick some good players among the guards and do some special training for them. Ensure that the task is completed!"

"I don't worry if you do things." Kangxi said.

At this time, Gao Xianda remembered something again, and then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have another unhappy request. I hope you can agree."

"Let me tell me." Gao Xianda said.

"There was a German missionary named Joshua Tsang in our court. He once served as the Imperial Supervision Superintendent in the court. Later, Oboi was in power, and he was framed by a treacherous minister and sent to prison." Gao Xianda said, "I hope that Your Majesty can be kind and release him."

Kangxi thought for a while and said, "Teacher Tang, I still remember it. When Obai wanted to kill him, I came forward to persuade him and then changed it to imprisonment. Why, isn't this old man dead yet? He has some skills. Ruidong, I'm sure you ask for this request! Go to the prison to take a look and let him go out. If he is already confused, he will reward him with 100 taels of silver and let him go home to support him. If he is still sane, he will be promoted to the fifth-rank custodian and let him build cannons with Nan Huairen."

"I obey the order!" Gao Xianda said happily.

Gao Xianda received the imperial edict and came to the prison. He was wearing military officer costume and bowed his head again and couldn't help but say good things.

Gao Xianda ignored them, didn't even look at them, and spoke with his nose, saying, "Take me to see Rowan Tang, Lord Tang!"

The bigger the Gao Xianda's airs, the more afraid these villains are. If they say it is Tang Ruowang, they can't remember it for a while, but when they mention it is an old foreign man, they immediately remember it and brought Gao Xianda inside.

Nan Huairen also had some care in prison. Although the conditions in prison were a little worse, at least Tang Ruowang still lived in a single room and the environment was relatively clean.

He even made an exception and obtained some paper and pens, which could be used to write melodies. But Johnson Chan knew that it was not the emperor who was in charge of him, but Oboi, and writing melodies was useless. He used all those paper and pens to calculate formulas.

When Gao Xianda saw him, the old man was still very energetic and sat on the ground, where he was counting the formula.

Gao Xianda said: "Teacher Tang, it's so elegant!"

Tang Ruowang looked at Gao Xianda, but was very calm and said, "Has Obai fallen?"

When Gao Xianda heard this, his eyes lit up. Could this old man know how to tell fortunes?

He joked, "How did you know I wasn't here to kill you?"

Tang Ruowang smiled and said, "I am just a small official who calculates the calendar and is old. If you want to kill me, you can't send an official like you. It's enough to have a servant who passes it. Since you are such a big official here in person, it must be the little emperor who needs me to come out to do things for him. Fortunately, you came early, and if you are a little later, I'm afraid my old bone will not be able to hold on!"
