starling is not a bird

The patrol outside the Great Wall is nothing more than patrolling the various ministries of Mongolia. Life on the grassland has its own leisure, but the hard winter and spring are the most prone to troubles. The emperor brought the prince to the grassland with food, and the sound of praise came from this end of the grassland. Passed over there.

Khalkha, Sizi tribe, Abagai tribe, Sunite tribe, Ongniud tribe, Naiman tribe, Zhalut tribe, Ordos tribe, Wulat tribe, Horqin tribe, Haoqite tribe, Kara tribe Qinbu and other Heshuo princes, county kings, and Baylor all brought tribute to Kangxi's tent to meet their own Tian Khan.

The emperor rewarded them with robes, satin, and silver, and asked them to meet their own crown prince, the heir to the throne, respectively. Prince Heshuo, the Crown Prince smiled slightly and handed things to them with his own hands. He tried his best to make these nobles feel close to him.

Ever since the elder brother arrived in the grassland, he was not willing to join Kangxi. In the past, he was the elder brother when he traveled, and the emperor relied on him in everything. The father and son rode together on horses, sharing the blue sky and green grass, which was a rare intimacy. remember.But this time Huang Ama brought the crown prince out, and she naturally retreated.

Looking at Huang Ama's attitude of entrusting the country, the elder brother felt even more depressed. As the eldest son and a reliable son, he was completely ignored by Huang Ama. Sure enough, he is the stepping stone of the crown prince!Desperately let me work to clear the way for my younger brother, and then pull me down to let my younger brother take over, Huang Ama, you are so cruel!

But recently, big elder brother feels less and less sad about this kind of thing, more and more of it is not reconciliation, but anger and gloom.

And the formation of the other elder brothers is also faintly changing. The thirteenth elder brother only sticks to the fourth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother only follows the eighth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother and sixteenth elder brother firmly follow Kangxi.

In the grasslands, besides horseback riding and hunting, the only traditional entertainments are bonfire parties at night and large bowls of shochu and large pieces of barbecue. The freehand and romantic, the eighth elder brother smiled and retreated to the back of the crowd to be an excellent green leaf.

The emperor is old, at least he thinks so, but the country of the Qing Dynasty will continue to be passed on from generation to generation, and he can finally start to face his heirs when he comes in!

The crown prince who was placed by his side and taught himself since he was a child did not know when he started to develop in a direction that Kangxi did not want. Such changes made Kangxi extremely uneasy.

This tour is a handover of power, and the whole three-month itinerary is to make an appearance for the crown prince, so that the world will bow their heads and recognize him as king!Mongolian nobles need to know their son, the future king, and the crown prince also needs to leave the deep palace and see the fireworks in the world with his own eyes!

Looking at the nobleness of the tall and handsome crown prince, Kangxi felt a little complicated. He was proud of his son's growth, but also faintly uncomfortable.

The eighth elder brother has been fighting with Kangxi all his life, how can he not see the knot in his Huang Ama's heart?I sneered from the bottom of my heart, such a beloved son, still violated your taboo, didn't he?The prince you supported with one hand will still be knocked into the dust by your suspicion in the end!How dare you tell your ancestors that the crown prince has failed the grace of God?It turned out that you were wrong!

Look at the elder brother who is standing opposite, his face is dull and expressionless, the eighth elder brother doesn't even give a concerned look, the elder brother has repeatedly hesitated to show his favor when he came in, but he hesitated again and again Let the eighth elder brother's mind cool down. At the beginning, he was a little reckless, and the eldest elder brother couldn't explain it carefully.

But the elder brother's repeated cold reception still hit the eighth elder brother. After a long time of estrangement, the two of them met again except for being polite, and there were only a few pleasantries left. , those who make big things don't care about small details, so the eighth elder brother has no intention of chasing the hard-to-recover overwhelmed water.

Meet, sing praises, pay tribute, continue to sing praises, rewards, such a routine over and over again, except for Kangxi and the crown prince, everyone is a little tired.

It finally came to an end. When Kangxi announced the camping, everyone’s cheers sounded very sincere. The fire was burning, the lamb was roasting, and touching songs were sung. The bright moon reflected the campfire, and even the stars seemed to be reaching out. between.

The fourteenth brother sat next to the eighth brother, holding the leg of lamb so that his face was covered with oil. The eighth brother despised him for being slovenly, so someone brought a hot towel over and wiped the fourteenth brother carefully. The fourth elder brother rubbed his oily hand and said, "Brother, leave me alone, eat more yourself!"

Eighth Brother said with a smile: "I've been eating meat all the way, but you don't get bored, eat less if you like it, and see if there are any vegetables and fruits after entering the city fortress, otherwise you'll be bored to death!"

The fourteenth elder brother rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid there is only mynah in this world, you are the weirdest, isn't meat as delicious as vegetables?"

The eighth elder brother curled his lips: "Who said that? Your fourth brother loves green vegetables the most. I heard that he has started to fast for half a month! Why don't you compare with him?"

The fourteenth elder brother looked angry: "He? He is born with a weird heart, so I won't learn from him!"

Speaking of the fourteenth elder brother, he ran to the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers to grab cantaloupe to eat, and completely ignored the eighth elder brother.

At night, when the tents were divided, the fourteenth elder brother automatically stuck back, the eighth elder brother looked at him and smiled, and said loudly on purpose: "Huang Ama, my son thinks it's better than this, the thirteenth brother follows the son, the fourteenth brother My younger brother will stay with the fourth brother!"

Before others could speak, the fourteenth brother jumped up and was unwilling. Kangxi also knew that the eighth brother was teasing his younger brother, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'm afraid the two brothers are closer than the other! Eighth brother You're so thoughtful!"

How could the fourteenth elder brother be willing to live with the fourth elder brother, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves: "Huang Ama, all the brothers who come here today are brothers of my son, and they are all siblings. It doesn't matter who lives with me! If it is divided like that, son It doesn't feel right!"

Seeing Elder Fourteen's energetic little face flushed red, Kangxi had a rare laugh, and stretched out his finger to touch Elder Fourteen's forehead: "I still don't know about your flowery intestines? Go, Don't quarrel with your starling!"

Brother Fourteen came into the tent with two cantaloupe in his arms: "Brother, didn't you say you're tired of eating meat? Come and taste their melons!"

The eighth elder brother barely ate two pieces. After all, life on the prairie lacked some refinement, and even the melons were a little sour. Looking at the fourteenth elder brother who was secretly looking at him, the eighth elder brother grabbed his braid and pulled it several times. Only then said: "Later, sleep well and get up early tomorrow, don't worry, there will be barbecue tonight!"

The second day was just a replay of the previous day, but the party that should have been lively at night was disrupted by the dark clouds and the thunder and lightning on the mountain road.There was nowhere to hide from the heavy rain, and the top of the tent was shaking uncontrollably from the raindrops, and the thunder and lightning across the sky reflected the light in the tent for a while, which was extremely terrifying.

Eighth Brother asked all the guards guarding the gate to hide from the rain in the camp, and asked them to put their swords in the box: "In such a heavy thunderstorm, only those who die will come out to attack. Everyone hide from the rain and hide." Han, you will be on duty the same as here, let’s work hard outside when the rain stops tomorrow!”

The fourteenth elder brother originally had another sleeping one by himself, but now the eighth elder brother will not let him sleep alone, forcing him to come to his own bed with the quilt in his arms, and put him down, the eighth elder brother Just fell asleep: "Close your eyes and sleep, don't go out!"

Blowing out the torch, the eighth elder brother arranged the chaotic fourteenth elder brother in a line and hugged him in his arms. The fourteenth elder brother was just a lively young man, how could he settle down?It's just that the hands and feet were pinned, so I had to close my eyes and said, "Brother, this thunder is really big!"

The eighth elder brother was already sleepy, and said in a daze: "Yes, I'm afraid there will be mushrooms shaking the ground tomorrow!"

The fourteenth elder brother only felt that the eighth elder brother's snort hit the back of his head, a little itchy, and wanted to reach out to scratch, but his hands and feet were bound by the eighth elder brother, thinking about it, and fell asleep.

When Eighth Brother woke up, his whole body was stretched freely, the quilt was very soft, and the mattress was very soft. Such a happy morning always made him very nostalgic. I wonder if it was because his heart was already old. The little things in life made him feel at ease.

It took a long time for the eighth elder brother to realize that the fourteenth elder brother was no longer in his arms, but since there was no thunder roaring above his head, the sky must be fine.The younger brothers are all active, and the eighth elder brother is not worried at all.

Dressing, washing, and going out, it was indeed a sunny day, with dewdrops rolling on the blades of grass under our feet, reflecting the golden sunlight, Brother Eight couldn't help stretching his waist, and turned around to see Brother Four also coming out. Elder Brother hurriedly put down his hands and went over to say hello: "Fourth Brother woke up so early!"

The fourth elder brother smiled: "It's not too late for you to be angry? Did you sleep well last night?"

The thirteenth elder brother behind the fourth elder brother was also busy saying hello to the eighth elder brother. After the three of them exchanged greetings, they were about to greet Kangxi, but why didn't the fourteenth elder brother see anyone?

When the eighth brother was surprised, the thirteenth brother asked first: "Why don't you see the fourteenth brother? Is it still lying in bed?"

Beside Haha Zhuzi hurriedly replied: "Return to the master, this morning, the master rode away on horseback!"

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked, and the fourth elder brother frowned: "It just rained, where did he go on his horse? Is there anyone following?"

The eighth elder brother was impatient, so he asked the fourteenth elder brother where he was going, turned on his horse and chased after him with his legs clamped. The grassland after the rain had his own style, but how could the impatient eighth elder brother care to appreciate it?

The Pegasus galloped for an unknown amount of time, except that the wind was blowing and the grass was still low, and the eighth elder brother was even more anxious. The voice of the fourth elder brother was faintly heard behind him, but the eighth elder brother didn't want to turn back at all.

It was easy to see a group of people in front of him, and the eighth elder brother was even more eager to catch up. At this moment, the horse under him suddenly lost control, and there was a long cry, and the horse was about to stumble and kneel At that time, the eighth elder brother held the rein tightly, and the fourteenth elder brother had rushed back, but it was still too late to rescue.

Just when the eighth elder brother was wondering whether to let go or hold his head first, a pair of iron arms picked up the fallen eighth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother who was still in shock stopped immediately.

The eighth elder brother knew who was behind when he recovered his breathing. Even though his voice was still trembling, the eighth elder brother said, "Thank you for your help, fourth brother!"

The fourth elder brother ignored the eighth elder brother at all, but just stared at the fourteenth elder brother: "Old fourteen, I thought you were already sensible!"

His voice was not loud, and his tone was very flat, but the eighth elder brother watched the fourteenth elder brother's face turn from red to white and then red again, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him! The fourteenth elder brother wanted face the most, and liked to be with him How can the fourth brother stand up to this?

"Fourth brother, it's getting late, don't look back, I'm afraid we will miss Huang Ama's side." The eighth elder brother tried to smooth things over, but the arms around his waist were even stronger.

"Sit down, let's ride slowly, I think Huang Ama doesn't care." The fourth elder brother turned the horse's head, without even looking at the fourteenth elder brother.

Greeting Kangxi has never been difficult. Kangxi likes his sons and doesn't demand them in terms of etiquette.

The few of them were indeed the latest ones, and Kangxi was not unhappy at all, so he waved his hand and dismissed them: "Sit down and have breakfast together, it rained heavily yesterday, I'm afraid I didn't eat at night, okay?" ?”

When the eighth elder brother finally had a chance to talk to the fourteenth elder brother, the younger brother's frustration almost overwhelmed him, watching his younger brother's wet dog eyes blinking: "Brother, I really don't want to make you fall off the horse!"

The eighth brother smiled and patted his head: "It's okay, isn't this saved by the fourth brother? Hey, I almost broke my leg. Why don't you tell me why I went there this morning?"

Brother Fourteen made a funny smile: "Didn't you say that you are tired of eating meat? I went to find you mushrooms for the thunder that was so big yesterday!"

Saying that the fourteenth elder brother took another bag and poured it on the table, and rolled out a bunch of small red fruits: "Brother, try it, this is sea buckthorn, it is delicious! The herdsman told me, if you are tired of eating meat, eat it." This is the most appetizing!"

The eighth elder brother felt soft, and grabbed the fourteenth elder brother in his arms and rubbed it for a long time before letting go. After the tears in his eyes had been suppressed, he said in a rough voice: "Go, I will take you hunting today." !"

The so-called hunting is just that the eighth elder brother is sitting on the horse, watching the guards accompany the fourteenth elder brother to hunt from a distance. Those deer and little yellow sheep are driven around by the net. The fourteenth elder brother raised his bow and arrow, aimed Put this down, put it down, aim at that, let it go, it's not difficult.

: "Brother, how come the ninth brother can hit the bear, but I can't?" The fourteenth brother's puzzlement is very real!

In June, Fei Yanggu, the minister who led the guards, was seriously ill. Emperor Kangxi ordered the team to stay there for a day, and he personally took people to visit. Seeing that Fei Yanggu was on the verge of death, he dispatched internal ministers and bodyguards to escort him back to Beijing.

The eighth elder brother had thought about it a long time ago, and personally begged Kangxi, intending to escort Fei Yanggu back to Beijing, but Kangxi agreed, but asked him to stop for a short time after returning to Beijing, and he will rush over here. There is still work waiting for you here !
