In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty for some more playthings. I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to part with them?" Ding said.

Chapter 564: Kangxi: You want to defile my harem?

Gu Hanyuan's comparison of Jianning to a plaything was actually a way of protecting her.

In "The Deer and the Cauldron", Emperor Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao had such a deep relationship.

When it came to plotting against him in the end, he still showed no mercy.

Gu Hanyuan could not stay in Qing China for an extended period.

Taking Jianning away would be very troublesome.

Emperor Kangxi cannot die yet.

If Gu Hanyuan expresses his regard for Jianning.

Kangxi will eventually use Jianning to take action against him.

Killing Kangxi would disrupt the plan, but not killing him would be even more troublesome.

To avoid this dilemma, we must not give Kangxi any leverage in the first place.

This naturally aroused his suspicion.

But it also allows for better trading.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

When Kangxi saw Jianning's closeness to Wutian, he did have many thoughts.

However, his nonchalant attitude extinguished it.

Kangxi had a bad feeling.

However, he smiled generously and said:

"How about I personally send Your Excellency hundreds of beautiful women as a gift upon our first meeting?"

He still harbored the idea of ​​winning over Wutian.

They are quite generous with their money.

However, Gu Hanyuan didn't find the so-called beauties he mentioned attractive.

Ordinary women wouldn't catch his eye.

Not every place is like Lingjiu Palace.

The claim of hundreds of beautiful women is a complete exaggeration.

Even if they were to actually arrive, there would inevitably be many substandard or shoddy products among them.

He didn't have the time to waste on ordinary women.

Gu Hanyuan did not directly respond to Kangxi's words.

Instead, he said with amusement:

"Does Your Majesty intend to lure Ao Bai into the palace and capture and kill him?"

Emperor Kangxi was startled upon hearing this.

It was already surprising enough that Wutian learned that he had secretly summoned Ao Bai to the capital.

Moreover, Wutian completely exposed his plan.

This cast a shadow over his heart.

Despite his surprise, he remained calm and said:

"Your Excellency is joking. Junior Protector Ao is a man of great military achievements and a pillar of our Qing Dynasty. How could I possibly capture or kill him?"

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"Ao Bai is a pillar of the Qing Dynasty, so what does that have to do with His Majesty?"

"Of course it is..."

Emperor Kangxi could not continue speaking after only half of his speech.

After all, Wutian had made his point so clearly, obviously he was very familiar with the situation in the court.

Continuing to be stubborn will only make you look foolish.

Gu Hanyuan continued:

"Your Majesty has recently recruited many skilled individuals to fill the Imperial Guard positions, including my defeated foe Yuan Chengzhi. Is this to deal with Ao Bai?"

Emperor Kangxi was taken aback upon hearing this.

He had never heard Yuan Chengzhi mention his defeat to Wutian.

However, Kangxi did not look down on Yuan Chengzhi; on the contrary, he thought highly of him.

After all, surviving from Wutian's clutches is no easy feat.

This was precisely Gu Hanyuan's purpose.

Now Jianning has been snatched away by him.

If Emperor Kangxi wanted to win over Yuan Chengzhi, he would have to start from other aspects.

The best way is to promote one's rank and title.

The higher Yuan Chengzhi is pushed into a position, the easier it will be for Gu Hanyuan to make his move.

At this point, Kangxi stopped pretending.

He asked frankly:

"Does Your Excellency believe that they are no match for Young Master Ao?"

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"If you're prepared to take advantage of someone who isn't, it's not like you're without a chance."

Emperor Kangxi was delighted upon hearing this.

The fact that Wutian, in his capacity as a man, said there was a chance actually gave him confidence.

Thinking that if they increased their efforts to recruit top talents, their chances would naturally be even greater.

However, Gu Hanyuan gave him a cold shower.

"Your Majesty probably doesn't know that the Heaven and Earth Society and the Red Flower Society are also eyeing Your Majesty, do they? If Your Majesty were to kill Ao Bai, wouldn't it be a complete waste of effort?"

Upon hearing this, Kangxi was greatly alarmed and said:

"Red Flower Society!"

You can tell just by looking at his reaction.

The collusion between the Red Flower Society and Prince Bao was no secret to the Qing Dynasty's high-ranking officials.

They can only fool unsuspecting members of the Red Flower Society and ordinary people.

As for the Heaven and Earth Society, that's just something Gu Hanyuan made up.

Of course, it's not entirely impossible.

After all, the "Ground Network" also discovered traces of the Heaven and Earth Society's activities.

They might even get involved.

Kangxi said with a grim expression:

"Is Prince Bao in such a hurry to become emperor? If I die and cause turmoil in the country, how can we stop the Mongol army?"

He didn't doubt that the Red Flower Society wouldn't find an opportunity to assassinate him.

With the help of Prince Bao.

There are almost no secrets in the palace.

He even suspected that some of the experts he recruited had been infiltrated by members of the Red Flower Society.

Even with Prince Bao's cover-up, it's not guaranteed that the truth will be uncovered.

This was indeed the weakest period of Kangxi's reign.

His only ally, Ao Bai, was also on the verge of exploding.

Ao Bai controlled most of the military power within Kangxi's faction.

The imperial court was also filled with Ao Bai's cronies.

Regardless of whether Ao Bai had any intention of usurping the throne.

He certainly has that ability now.

we can even say.

Without eliminating Oboi, Kangxi would have been unable to seize power.

A hint of amusement flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.
