Kangxi stood in front of a map, looking at it while slowly speaking: "Since the death of Obai, the situation in the country has been great. I have conquered countless forces, and peace in the world is just around the corner, but..."
Speaking of this, Kangxi sighed,
"But there are still many rebels among the people, such as Chen Jinnan of the Tiandihui, the remnant of the previous dynasty, the One-Armed God Ni, and others who have been working against me. In addition to these people, I also have a serious enemy, and that is Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi!"
Qin Ran followed Kang Xi's wishes and continued to ask: "If this is the case, then why does the emperor still grant marriage?"
"Wu Sangui has been running Yunnan for decades, and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. In recent years, he has been recruiting troops. I have also received news that the Shenlong Sect is the force under Wu Sangui. I am afraid that he is responsible for the fake queen mother!
"
At this point, Kangxi clenched his fist and smashed the table, and said angrily: "Wu Sangui clearly wants to rebel."
Qin Ran took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you have any orders, just tell me. I will go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of fire, and I will not hesitate to do so!"
Kangxi nodded with satisfaction. What he wanted was Qin Ran's statement, "I have decided to appoint you as the imperial envoy to escort Princess Jianning. With your intelligence, you must know what to do!"
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, you want me to find an opportunity to kill Wu Sangui's whole family?"
"of course not!"
Kangxi said angrily.
"National affairs are never that simple. Wu Sangui has many elite soldiers and generals. Even if he succeeds in killing Wu Sangui, he will not be able to restrain his generals. It will only cause more chaos!"
"Then what does the emperor mean?"
"To cut the grass, we need to get rid of the root! I want you to find a way to delay Wu Sangui's rebellion, wait for me to mobilize my troops, find the right time, and kill them all in one fell swoop!"
In Kangxi's words, murderous intention appeared!
Qin Ran nodded and flattered, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"By the way, Jianning is naughty by nature. I'm worried that she won't get married. Please help me persuade her!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, Qin Ran slowly exited the Imperial Study Room, then followed a familiar route through the various palaces, and soon arrived at the Jianning Palace.
This was not Qin Ran's first time here, so the two palace maids next to him opened the door for him without asking any questions.
"Weak minister Qin Ran, please see the princess!"
Qin Ran walked into the main hall and bowed slightly to Princess Jianning.
"No gift."
"You guys, there is nothing for you to do here, please go down!"
"Yes, princess!"
Several palace maids closed the door and all the young eunuchs exited the dormitory.
As soon as these idle people left, Princess Jianning immediately threw herself into Qin Ran's arms with a smile on her face.
"Brother Ran! Why did you come here? You haven't seen me for several days."
"hey-hey!"
Qin Ran showed a proud smile on his face, and without saying much, he hugged Jianning directly and threw him on the couch.
Then he threw himself directly on the couch. How could Jianning be Qin Ran's opponent right now?
Two hours later, Qin Ran hugged Jianning, feeling very proud.
What about the princess? What about the heroine of the plot? Now they are all mine!
The two were affectionate for a while, and then Qin Ran calmly told Princess Jianning the purpose of his trip.
"What? You actually want me to marry that Prince Pingxi? You bastard, a heartless person! Woohoo~"
Before Qin Ran could finish his words, Jianning's face was full of disbelief and tears were already streaming down her face. She bit her lip, her eyes full of despair.
Qin Ran had a headache and hugged her quickly, comforting her softly: "That's not what I meant! Just listen to what I have to say!"
"Then what do you mean??"
"You are my woman, how can I let you marry someone else? Besides, this is not my idea, it is your royal brother's idea!"
"Brother Royal???"
Princess Jianning's eyes widened and she looked at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran nodded.
"Then what should I do?? I don't want to marry that prince, I only like brother Ran! I only like you! It's all your fault, you should have proposed marriage to the emperor's brother long ago!"
Jianning looked flustered and slapped Qin Ran's chest, complaining.
"Jianning, don't worry, I won't let Prince Pingxi lay a finger on you. The emperor's move has profound meaning!"
A different meaning flashed in Qin Ran's eyes, and he explained soothingly: "Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, has been plotting a rebellion for a long time. The emperor's move is to appease Wu Sangui so that the border troops can prepare to come back and put down the rebellion.
When the time comes, I will find a way to depose Prince Pingxi, and you and I will cooperate to force Wu Sangui to rebel. As soon as Wu Sangui rebels, the engagement between you will naturally be in vain. At that time, I can apply to the emperor to lead an army to counter the rebellion.
, when I successfully suppress the rebellion, I can naturally propose marriage to the emperor based on my military exploits, and no one can stop us from being together."
After hearing Qin Ran's words, Jianning's eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped crying. He hugged Qin Ran's arm and pressed against him, "I knew you wouldn't abandon me, brother Ran! You are so kind!"
Qin Ran smiled, hugged Jianning and did not continue talking.
Forcing Wu Sangui to rebel in advance was also part of his plan.
At that time, he could find a way to gain Kangxi's trust, command the army to conquer Wu Sangui, and then directly change his banner and take control of this army.
At that time, combined with some other means, the world will definitely change in an instant!
He and Princess Jianning were affectionate for a while.
It was not until late at night that Qin Ran left the palace feeling refreshed and returned to his own house.
As soon as he returned to his house, Shuang'er who was waiting here immediately came out,
"Sir, you are back!"
"Well!" Qin Ran put his arms around the two women, came to the main hall and sat down, dismissed the servants, and said, "How are you doing what I asked you to do?"
At this time, Qin Ran has already controlled the power of the entire Qingmu Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society. He is not the idiot Wei Xiaobao who is heartless all day long. He will not let go of any force that is beneficial to him, and he ransacked Ao Bai's house.
The money obtained was allocated 2 million taels of silver to Shuang'er and asked them to use it to win people's hearts.
"Sir, with the heavy money, everything went smoothly!" Shuang'er replied.
Qin Ran nodded and asked: "What position is it?"
"Master Qi, we spent 800,000 taels of silver to buy a position as a local regiment training envoy. We have recruited the maximum number of 3,000 troops and are currently being trained by the three stewards of Qingmudang. I think it won't take long.
