Kangxi looked at the stacks of memorials on the imperial desk without saying a word, his face was gloomy. After a long time, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the three ministers in the upper study standing below:

"What did Gao Shiqi say?"

"Return to the emperor, I am ordered to go and ask questions, Gao Xiang said..." Zhang Tingyu stood up after hearing Kangxi's words, but unlike his usual calmness, this time he seemed a little hesitant.

"What did you say?" Kangxi asked again.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiang said that he had just passed by the Eighth Prince's mansion at that time. He was thirsty and went in to ask for a cup of tea. He had no other intentions. It was just that those officials themselves were careful to guess, which caused this trouble!" Zhang Tingyu replied carefully.

"Ask for a cup of tea? Humph! What a good reason! He is a great man with a brilliant heart. Will he not know what to do when to do?... He dares to fool me? Don't he want to live?" Kangxi shouted suddenly.

"Please calm down!" The three ministers in the study rushed forward and persuaded them, and at the same time they all secretly complained in their hearts.

The whole thing is blamed on Gao Shiqi. That day, he ran to the residence of the eighth prince Yinsi, and didn't know what he did inside. It took nearly an hour before the eighth prince was sent out respectfully. Moreover, according to witnesses, when Yinsi sent him out, he smiled with an unconcealable excitement. This is of course a big deal! Who is Gao Shiqi? The minister of the Shangshu! And he was a very smart guy. Such a person was deposed when the prince was deposed and the whole world was watching Kangxi's next move, but he suddenly visited the eighth prince. Is this meant that it was necessary to ask? The next day, more than a dozen memorials requesting Kangxi to establish the eighth prince Yinsi as the crown prince were sent to the Shangshu. The next day,

This kind of memorials increased to dozens, and because of Kangxi's unanimous refusal, the number of memorials increased rapidly. For high-ranking officials, small-ranking officials, capital officials, local officials... Originally, after Kangxi learned the whole story, he ordered Zhang Tingyu to go to Gao Shiqi's house to issue an order, allowing Gao Shiqi to "take a vacation" and think about his mistakes at home. However, this practice did not stop the trend of asking for a crown prince. So far, in more than ten days, the memorials received by the study room have not been less than hundreds, and there are dozens of memorials for today's day alone. It is precisely because of this that Kangxi finally became popular and ordered Zhang Tingyu to go to Gaofu for training again, but unexpectedly, Gao Shiqi gave such an inauthentic answer, which made Kangxi even more popular.

"Stop the anger... What else do you do except say this?" Kangxi said angrily: "The prince has just been deposed. You are just thinking about flattering the new master? I am not dead yet!"

"I dare not!" Kangxi's tone was too strong. Even though the three ministers in the study had seen countless big scenes, they were so shocked that they hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Enough!" Kangxi shouted "Zhang Tingyu!"

"I'm here!" Zhang Tingyu responded hurriedly.

"Issue: Gao Shiqi, the minister of the study room, relies on his outstanding status. He did not follow the will of the saint and acted in a ruthless manner. When the crown prince was first abolished, he intended to make a crown prince and act rebellious. I should have punished him heavily, but I thought that he had been with the emperor for many years and was also considered hard work, so I decided to give him a lighter sentence. Gao Shiqi... was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown to support him. I admire this!"

"Emperor..." Not only Zhang Tingyu, hearing Kangxi's decree, even Tong Guowei and Ma Qi couldn't help but scream. Gao Shiqi is the one who has followed Kangxi for the longest time among the four ministers in the study room. Although his power seems not very prominent, because this guy is smart, quick to see the opportunity, and cautious, he is always easy to become a weather vane for other ministers. Moreover, after being together in the study room for a long time, Tong Guowei and others also knew that Kangxi actually relied heavily on Gao Shiqi's ability on some major issues. However, Kangxi is just as he spoke... This is too inhumane!

"You don't have to plead for him." Kangxi stared at the three people in front of him coldly, "It's my business to choose the crown prince, and it's not my turn to take care of him. He Gao Shiqi is the minister of the Shangshu and is more than the prime minister! He knew that when the crown prince was first abolished, he looked at my heart and made friends with the prince without authorization, intending to make a recommendation... This is disloyal and rebellious! If I hadn't thought that he had been with me for many years, I would never be so careless! You are also the ministers of the Shangshu and the leaders of the leaders. It's better not to learn from him, otherwise, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless!"

"I dare not!" Tong Guowei, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu were robbed of the order, so how could they dare to say anything?

"Zhang Tingyu, go and pass the order!" Kangxi ordered again.

"I obey the order! I will leave!" Zhang Tingyu bowed and walked backwards out of the study room.

"Is there any other local affairs?" After Zhang Tingyu withdrew, Kangxi asked Tong Guowei and Ma Qi again.

"Your Majesty, Sichuan's military newspaper yesterday... I wonder what your purpose is?" Tong Guowei asked carefully. He was one of the first people to know about Gao Shiqi's visit to Yinsi. Although he has never been willing to look at Gao Shiqi in a straight face, he is very convinced of Gao Shiqi's vision and intelligence. In addition, he has a good impression of Yinsi, so he once wanted to be the first person to request the appointment of a crown prince! It was just that he put this wish.

When it was revealed, it was stopped by Wang Mingdao. According to Wang Mingdao, Gao Shiqi is an old fox and has never been touched by both sides. How could he approach the Eighth Prince so much? So, there must be something tricky here! Just in case, this matter must not be involved! Even if you want to get involved, you have to wait for the matter to be clear. Moreover, since Gao Shiqi has taken one step ahead, wouldn’t he seem to be a little worse if Tong Guowei followed closely?

So it's better to take a look first. This is safe and also a strong momentum! He followed this suggestion. Although the written memorial requesting the crown prince was kept in his sleeves and did not take it out. Later, Kangxi punished Gao Shiqi to think about his mistakes at home. Like all officials, he felt that this was just a slight punishment Kangxi had revealed the emperor's thoughts to Gao Shiqi, so he did not take it seriously. However, since Kangxi was in a bad mood, he naturally did not make a memorial. However, now, Kangxi actually gave up Gao Shiqi's official position and title, and directly added the word "金" to the imperial edict. This problem is a big deal. You must know that these two words can sometimes ruin a person's life. It is obvious that Kangxi was really angry, not fake fire! So, at this moment, he only felt that his sleeves were heavy, for fear that the written memorial would be broken out by accident. In that case, the consequences would be serious.

"There are generals like Dundo under the command of the small thief of Alabtan, which is also considered a figure! However, since I have decided to attack next year, I will never change it. Let me tell Feiyanggu, Sabusu and Yuzhong, and let them decide on their own how to march. Feiyanggu will uniformly dispatch military and political affairs of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Khalkha departments. Tell them that I will never allow Junggar to be arrogant until the 47th year of my ascension!" Kangxi did not pay attention to Tong Guowei, and after thinking for a while, he immediately ordered.

"Sister obeys the order!", responded. Tong Guowei leaned back aside with his cuffs.

"Emperor, now Albutan repeatedly violates our power, and the court should attack him.

However, this person has occupied Junggar and Qinghai. If Tibet is added, half of the west side of the Qing Dynasty, from Gansu to Yunnan and Guizhou, will be under his scrutiny. Even if the court's soldiers are strong and food are sufficient, they are not afraid of attacking, but if Arabtan does not compete with the imperial army head-on, but instead deals with me with the land of Qinghai and Tibet, it is probably difficult for the servants to do their best with their ability to fly ancient times!" Ma Qi saw Tong Guowei retreating without saying a word, and was dissatisfied, so he quickly came forward to say.

"I understand this matter in my heart. However, the battle still needs to be fought. Let's see everything after the battle!" Kangxi sighed. Of course, he knew that the area between Qinghai and Tibet was vast, and there was a desert between the Yili occupied by Albutan and the imperial army. If the other party was determined not to fight head-on, even if there were a million troops, it would be difficult to capture the bandit. At that time, there would be wars in the west and the court would add another big burden. However, if he did not fight, he would see Albutan siege the city and plunder the ground with great strength, which was even more unfair. No matter what, he would not allow another Galdan to appear in the west!

"I came to Lifanyuan for the first time. I really didn't expect that the storefront of this place was even more generous than that of the Sixth Ministry!"

Just as Kangxi and others were discussing the matter, Old Man Fei also took a sedan chair to the seventh department of the Qing court, outside the yamen gate of the Lifan Courtyard, and exclaimed at the gate in front of him.

"I'm paying respects to the elders, I don't know if you always..."

Qian Jia is a Han army bannerman. Relying on his connections, he got a position of a sect official in the Lifan Courtyard. The first requirement for this position is to be able to look at people. Although he had never seen Old Man Fei, Old Man Fei's momentum should not be underestimated, especially the uniforms of first-rank officials cannot be ignored. Therefore, before Old Man Fei could step, he greeted him first.

"Haha, you guy, are you polite! May I ask, is A Ling here?" Old Man Fei did not answer Qian Jia's question, but just asked with a smile.

"A Ling?" Good guy, he called out the name of Lord A! What is this old man? Qian Jiaji was in the Lifan Academy and naturally knew what A Ling's identity was. It can be summarized by not just a first-rank official. In fact, the court may only be four ministers from the study room can suppress A Ling's head. The old man who is here now actually called out the name of A Ling's place. It seems that he has a big background and has to be careful to serve him.

"Mr. A is in the yamen. I wonder what you have to do with him, Mr.? But should I inform you of the news?"

"No need! I'll just go in by myself!" Old Man Fei said with a smile, and then took a step to the steps in front of the door. However, he did not expect that just as soon as he took a step, Qian Jia stood in front of him:

"Sir, please wait!"

"What's wrong?" asked Old Man Fei.

"Sir, I'm sorry, Lifan Academy is different from the Sixth Ministry. This... Idle people can't enter without the permission of the chief official! Please forgive me!" Qian Jia looked carefully at the nine-foot-high Agudam behind Old Man Fei. He knew these noble officials and was afraid that if he said that Old Man Fei would be unhappy, this giant would rush over to hurt people. Although this is the yamen of Lifan Academy, if Old Man Fei attacked him, he would be charged with ramming the Lifan Academy. He might not be afraid, but the opposite side was a first-rank official, so it would be better to not conflict.

"Haha, interesting! Okay, just go and tell Ah Ling, and say that Ferdinand is here and you are going to enter the yamen!" Old Man Fei laughed twice and said again.

"Yes, sir, what did you say? You said, you are... Fei, Shangshu Fei?" Qian Jia wanted to say "wait" to Old Man Fei, but suddenly the three words "Ferdinand" were shocked so much that he almost broke his teeth!

"It seems that right! The emperor did not remove my position as Secretary of the Lifan Academy, Old Man Fei replied.

"My God! The little one is ignorant of Mount Tai. Lord Shangshu, don't blame him!" Qian Jia suddenly cried and begged for old man Fei repeatedly. It's not good to block anyone. But he blocked such a direct boss! Isn't this a life-threatening person?

"It's okay, can I go in?" Old Man Fei asked again.

"When... this, you... wait!" Qian Jiaben wanted to say "of course", but after this time, he was a little more awake. He thought that the identity of the old man in front of him was just his own words and had not been truly confirmed, so he still did not dare to let the old man in casually. This is a dereliction of duty. If any adult in the yamen said something casually, his local officials would not have to do it. So, he was quick to learn to wisely. He said "wait", then ran to the yamen and went to Shangguan to report the news.

"I don't know that Lord Shangshu is here in person, and the subordinate officials are in a position to welcome him. I forgive my sins and forgive me!"

A Ling A was discussing matters with some subordinates in the Lifanyuan yamen. After hearing the notice from the people below, Ferdinand was here! He was very surprised! You know, since he took over as the Minister of the Lifanyuan, Old Man Fei has never had any real interaction with the Lifanyuan yamen. He just had the title of a Shangshu. Even after being transferred to the capital, he had been wandering around the Yangxin Palace and had never been to the Lifanyuan yamen. Therefore, as a Lifan, he was

Although the minister of the court is just a second-in-command, A Ling A holds the real power of this yamen. However, now Old Man Fei suddenly comes! What did he do? Did he want to seize power? Isn’t that sad? However, Old Man Di Fei is currently the top number one in the list of the most undefeated local figures in the entire capital. Even though he is a high-ranking and very noble person, he will definitely not be able to touch him! Therefore, he had to come out to welcome Old Man Fei.

"Haha, you guys, you are polite! Fei was just on a whim and wanted to come over. Everyone doesn't have to be so grand!"

The Lifan Courtyard is under the jurisdiction of the banner, Wang Hui, Dianzu, Ruyuan, and Deep. The Sixth Division of the Criminal Office, the Department of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, the Department of the Ministry of Justice, the Mongolian Office, the internal and external halls, the silver and treasury and other relevant institutions, which are divided into ranks and salaries, tributes, demarcations, official system, military and punishments, household registration, farming and pastoral, taxes, post stations, trade, religion and other matters. In addition to the Shangshu and the Minister, there are also a large number of officials such as the doctor, the official, the chief officer, the chief officer, the pen and post style. These people heard that the old man Fei, who had always been in charge of the position of Shangshu, came. I don’t know whether it was out of curiosity or pleasing, but Lima came over and almost blocked the yamen.

"Sir Shangshu, what are you saying? You are the Secretary of the Lifan Academy. This is the first time you have come to the yamen. It is the right time for your subordinates to come to pay a visit... In fact, you are here just right. My subordinates and others happened to encounter a few troubles and were about to ask you for advice!" A Ling A was displeased when he saw so many people coming out to greet Old Man Fei, so he thought of the trouble he had encountered recently.

"Haha, I can't talk about it! If you have anything, please tell me, and let's discuss it together!" Old Man Fei smiled and took A Ling A to the Lifan Courtyard. Everything was very natural, just like he was the "boss" here, although he was nominally!

"Sir Shangshu is actually not a big deal. It was Wan Zhengse, the admiral of the Nanhai Navy, who submitted a document, saying that the natives of Luzon were causing trouble, attacking each other and attacking the Qing people who moved to the past, and wanted us to send some officers to help manage it. I wonder what you think you should do?" A Linga asked.

"This... our vassal court doesn't often send officials to local minority areas to handle specific affairs and rotate regularly? Wan Zhengse's request was not excessive. If you submit it to the emperor, wouldn't it be possible?" Old Man Fei replied casually.

"Haha"" Ah Ling looked at the officials following the surrounding area with a little smug look. Seeing that several officers and pen-shaped pens had oiled their feet, some officials in other places looked at Old Man Fei and began to look at Old Man Fei with some unfriendly colors. They felt a little relieved, so they continued to answer: "Sir Shangshu, it's not that our subordinates are unwilling to wait, but the key is that we have asked the six ministries about mystery. People from the six ministries said that Luzon is a barbarian land, not as good as China, and even if they sent officials to come over, it was difficult to manage. So, this matter was put aside! However, a few days ago, Wan Zhengse sent someone to destroy..."

"That's it!" Old Man Fei stopped and thought about it with his beard, "Since that's the case, then tell Wan Zhengse, don't worry about anything else, just one move!"

"What trick?" A Linga and other officials stretched their necks unconsciously. In fact, there was an important reason why Wan Zhengse's request was not implemented, that is, the officials of the Lifanyuan were unwilling to do things on the wilderness island of the South China Sea! A Linga once sent two officers to make friends with the general Wan Zhengse, but unexpectedly, after these two guys left reluctantly, they ran back halfway and pleaded for him with snot and tears, which made him very upset. Now, when he heard that Old Man Fei had a way to solve the problem without sending someone, he couldn't help but become curious.
