I am still of the opinion that he has just found out recently, hence he would not have prepared everything too far in advance. But it's just my opinion. if your premise is correct, then I can see that Kangxi deliberately wanted WXB to escape, although 1. I don't see any reason behind it, 2. I know Kangxi was a good emperor, but I don't think he was THAT good. :)
