Chapter 1404

Hai Dafu's cause of death was having his heart meridians shattered by Wutian's palm, and there were no external injuries on his body.

As long as no one specifically went to investigate, the truth would not be exposed.

Kangxi was indeed not concerned about the cause of Hai Dafu's death.

He had the intention of cultivating Wei Xiaobao, with whom he had a good private friendship, into his confidant.

Therefore, he promoted him to be the Superintendent of the Imperial Kitchen, taking over Hai Dafu's position.

If it were any other official position.

With Kangxi's current ability to control the court, he could not easily appoint him.

But the appointment of eunuch positions in the harem could be decided in one word.

Wei Xiaobao didn't think so much when he first entered the palace.

He only thought about saving his life while earning some silver.

Now that there was no danger to his life, Kangxi's appointment immediately aroused his ambition to get promoted and get rich.

Especially when Wei Xiaobao put on the clothes of the Superintendent of the Imperial Kitchen.

Those small eunuchs who used to look down on him all became respectful.

Even those who owed him gambling debts took the initiative to pay him back.

This further strengthened Wei Xiaobao's determination to get promoted and get rich.

In Gu Hanyuan's eyes, Wei Xiaobao was a very useful tool.

For this reason, he even specifically placed a divine sense tracker on him.

However, this was not the time to care about Wei Xiaobao.

He looked at the smiling Kangxi with some surprise.

Imperial Preceptor, the teacher of the country.

Although there was no actual power, the status was respected.

Many Jianghu sects were desperately pursuing this position.

The Shaolin Sect, the Quanzhen Sect, and the Tantric Sect all tried to obtain the position of Imperial Preceptor from the countries where they were located.

He did not expect it to be obtained by Gu Hanyuan's Wutian identity.

Gu Hanyuan guessed Kangxi's thoughts after a little thought.

Not only did he want to win him over with the position of Imperial Preceptor.

But also to strengthen his own momentum.

Borrowing Wutian's fierce reputation that covered the world.

At least Prince Bao would not dare to take action at will anymore.

Kangxi could also turn passive into active.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes revealed a sharp light.

Although it was somewhat unexpected.

But it also opened up new ideas.

And this kind of thinking was beneficial to subsequent planning.

Although Gu Hanyuan had already made a decision in his heart.

But he would not easily agree.

After all, the easier it is to get something, the less it is cherished.

He wanted to add another weight to Kangxi's heart.

Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I am used to being a free spirit, I cannot be constrained, and I am not interested in the position of Imperial Preceptor."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi was greatly surprised.

Paying the price of the Tongjia sisters made him feel very heartbroken.

However, the wood was already a boat, and the heartache was only temporary.

As an emperor, Kangxi considered benefits more.

Compared to mere concubines and humiliation, Wutian's assistance was more important.

But if it could only be exchanged for Wutian's one-time action, it was clearly not worth it.

Especially after Xiaozhuang could not give him a way to contend with an Earth Immortal.

Wutian's importance became even more prominent.

Therefore, he threw out the position of Imperial Preceptor, trying to bind Wutian to his own force.

Although the position of Imperial Preceptor had no power, it was heavy.

It could even represent the country's attitude to a certain extent.

If Wutian accepted the position of Imperial Preceptor.

"Luo Wang" could even act openly within the Qing Guo.

Kangxi had vaguely felt Wutian's ambition before.

Otherwise, he would not have established a terrifying terrorist organization like "Luo Wang."

Therefore, Kangxi's attempt to win him over with the position of Imperial Preceptor could be said to be full of sincerity.

He did not expect the other party to refuse.

This situation, which did not match the plan, made Kangxi a bit anxious.

He said solemnly:

"Your Excellency Wutian is overthinking, how could I think of constraining you? I just want to cooperate more with you."

Gu Hanyuan said lightly:

"I don't care about the Qing Guo, coming to find Your Majesty is also to obtain resources for cultivation, an equivalent exchange will do."

Seeing Wutian refuse his proposal again, Kangxi.

Was a bit muddled with anxiety for a moment.

He actually said in a self-humiliating way:

"Could it be that the Tongjia sisters did not satisfy the Imperial Preceptor?"

Gu Hanyuan looked playfully at Kangxi, who had already reacted and had an extremely ugly complexion.

He said with an inexplicable tone:

"The Tongjia sisters are very good. The older one is charming and affectionate, the younger one is gentle and lovely. I should thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

The more Kangxi listened, the more aggrieved he felt, but he couldn't vent his anger.

He forced a smile and said:

"As long as Your Excellency is satisfied."

Gu Hanyuan said lightly:

"It's just not enough."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi was startled.

He immediately understood what the other party meant.

His complexion was very conflicted and hesitant.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said:

"As long as Your Excellency agrees to accept the position of Imperial Preceptor, I can specially allow Your Excellency to enter and leave the harem at will, how about that?"

Kangxi at this moment had a gambler's mentality of losing his mind.

He was thinking about breaking even in his heart, and as for the price to be paid before breaking even, he could only subconsciously ignore it.

However, Kangxi still retained his final bottom line.

He said in a deep voice:

"Except for the Kunning Palace, the Cining Palace, and the Ciren Palace, you can enter and leave at will.".
