Chapter 355: Zhao'an Heaven and Earth Society
Although Gao Xianda formed the team, he was not the emperor after all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Among them, there are many powerful ministers, who are pretending to cooperate with Gao Xianda, and I don't know what kind of reputation he is doing. After all, when the emperor returns, Gao Xianda's actions may not be counted.
Who knows, after a few days, the news of Kangxi's death really came!
Now the whole court shook!
They just wanted to make a move, but they were surprised to find that Gao Xianda had already arranged everything, and even Kangxi's heir had already been chosen.
After discussing with the Queen Mother, Gao Xianda chose Kangxi's younger brother, Aixinjue Luo Changning, as his heir.
Because his biological mother also died early, he was also adopted by the Queen Mother as an adopted son, and he was considered the Queen Mother's own son in the palace.
Chang Ning's age is younger than Kangxi, and he is only in his early tens, so he is not suitable for himself to govern, and it is easier to control. Everything behind the scenes is presided over by the Queen Mother. And the Queen Mother relies on nothing more than Gao Xianda.
Gao Xianda, like Ao Bai back then, became the minister of life.
Like Prince Kang and others, there are still a few people who have power in their hands and have royal blood. They originally wanted to make some small moves in the succession to the throne, but when they got the news and wanted to make a move, it was too late.
From the emperor to the soldiers, they were all controlled by Gao Xianda, and they naturally had no chance. It is precisely because there is no chance that they will not give birth to delusions, so they will not act.
So the change of the entire dynasty was under the control of Gao Xianda, and the transition was smooth.
Since then, all government decrees have been issued first.
Of course, he also kept his promise to promote those who had helped him in his control of power. For example, Mingzhu was promoted to the secretary of the military department, several people such as Chaerzhu were promoted to local governors, the chief deputy general of the nine gates was corrected, and the officials who were close to him in the six departments also had their own rewards.
Wu Yingxiong has always been in Beijing and can be regarded as a witness to this incident. This time, he has thoroughly seen the methods of Gao Xianda. Originally, I was just trembling when I drank with Gao Xianda, but now that I see him on weekdays, I am also prone to trembling.
Gao Xianda saw that he was frightened, so he put him back and let him go as the honest king of Pingxi. It is measured that he will no longer dare to rebel, and he can also check and balance the local officials sent by Kangxi.
After a while, Zhou Peigong came with the news, saying that Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, heard that Kangxi had died and raised troops to rebel.
Gao Xianda ordered Zhou Peigong to unite with Maxiong Town in Guangxi to exterminate Geng Jingzhong. But just a few days after the order was issued, Zhou Peigong sent back a good news, saying that according to the instructions of the adults, he had already sent troops to Geng Jingzhong when he had just rebelled.
Geng Jingzhong's soldiers and horses were usually negligent in training, and they were not good at land warfare, and before they could gather their numbers, they were ambushed by Zhou Peigong. So he was not the opponent of Zhou Peigong's soldiers and horses at all, and after a few days, Geng Jingzhong had already been captured alive.
Gao Xianda had already been mentally prepared, so he ordered Geng Jingzhong to be escorted to Beijing and executed for the crime of treason. But he didn't even connect the nine clans, but just demoted them all to Shuren, sent them to Ningguta, and went with Shang Kexi as a companion.
In this way, there was no longer a separatist force in the local area that could confront the imperial court.
Gao Xianda is now the minister of Gu Ming and the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society at the same time, and it is not good to preside over the two "brother units" in the internal fighting, so he held a meeting of the incense lord of the Heaven and Earth Society, saying that the court has now changed the day, saying that he wants to recruit An, and wants to ask everyone's opinions.
Of course, he had secretly greeted these incense owners in advance.
Gao Xianda's cronies like Li Lishi, Jiang Yingyu, and Fengji naturally support Gao Xianda's idea. They came out to mix the world to eat a mouthful, and now that they are mixing well, they naturally want to mix better.
However, the five ancestors of Shaolin and others felt that Gao Xianda had betrayed his ideals, so how could he compromise with the Tartars?
Gao Xianda asked them rhetorically: "Do you really think that with us people in the rivers and lakes, we can overthrow the rule of the Tartars by engaging in some peasant uprisings?" We claim to the outside world that we killed Wu Sangui, but was Wu Sangui really killed by us? Kangxi is dead, did we kill him? ”
The group was speechless for a moment.
Gao Xianda said: "The common people are not going with you, not because you are Han and want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but because you want to eat well." But the cousins you have now have begun to rob their homes because of livelihood problems. If we continue like this, we will not get the support of the people at all! Not to mention overthrowing the rule of the Tartars, it is difficult to continue to develop. We might as well take advantage of the conditions we can make and recruit security. After you go back, you can think about it slowly, and if you think it makes sense, we will discuss it again. If you don't think it's okay, please do it yourself. ”
Coxanda even used the skills of "Bribing VIPs" against them.
In addition to Gao Xianda's three cronies, Lin Yongchao thought about it again and again, and felt that since Wu Sangui was dead, it could be regarded as a great revenge, and he was willing to accept Zhao'an. But the imperial court could not interfere too much with his freedom.
Gu Zhizhong said that he was old and did not plan to recruit An, but he was willing to let his cousin decide for himself, and he would keep a pension money for himself and go back to his hometown to farm.
In this way, more than half of the incense owners agreed.
As one of the five ancestors of Shaolin, Ma Chaoxing is relatively upright, but he has also accepted the benefits of Gao Xianda and knows Gao Xianda's ability. Since he proposed Zhao'an, it was naturally for everyone's good. So he also decided to follow Gao Xianda.
The remaining four disagreed.
Gao Xianda didn't force it, let them go back and think slowly. The brothers finally met once, and they didn't talk about business for a while, and everyone had a good drink.
Although everyone does not approve of Zhao'an, they still recognize Gao Xianda's ability. There's nothing you can't talk about at the table.
So for the next period of time, they drank together every day. Coxianda tried his best to drink them too much every day. Then they stole their seals and stamped some letters.
As the chief helmsman, Gao Xianda knew a little about the strongholds of each rudder, so he specially sent a messenger to spread the word, telling them that from the chief helmsman to the incense master, they had all agreed to Zhao'an, and they were now drinking in the capital. And took out the letter with the seal of Gao Xianda and the seal of the incense lord.
Then he said to the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society: We will be a family in the future, and we can eat and drink spicy food together.
The incense owner is not there, and the seal is also real. So many people wavered and followed Zhao'an, while the diehards left angrily.
When the remaining four ancestors of Shaolin returned to their base, they found that even the rudder had been disbanded!
