Qing Dynasty

On the third day of February in the 38th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi set off on his third southern tour, the crown prince Yinfeng supervised the country, the empress dowager and the princes Yinti, Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinzhen, Yinzhen and other eight people went together , Take a boat south on the Datong Bridge.

On February [-]th, Emperor Kangxi ordered Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, to visit the Zhanghe and Hutuo rivers in the mulberry garden. Don't open a river to the east, let it go to the sea.

From February [-]th, Emperor Kangxi took only one boat, reduced his retinue, and marched day and night to visit the dikes south of the Yellow River.

Gaojiayan has a long history. Among them, there is a place called Houermen between Shibao and Shishibao in Gaojiayan. Now Kangxi came here to inspect and found that the river work was bad. He Dao Feng You was so frightened that he knelt on the spot, sweat dripping down his back.

But before Kangxi could say anything, there was a bang, and Hou Ermen between Ten Forts and Eleven Forts suddenly broke through. In summer, there was abundant rainfall in the south, and the river that had overflowed for a long time broke through the dam with an unstoppable force. , rolled in the nearby river worker who hadn't had time to react, and disappeared in an instant.

The ministers and guards around Kangxi hurriedly protected Kangxi to retreat. The so-called son of a daughter does not sit in the hall. Kangxi is not very close, and there are people around him to protect him. It stands to reason that he should be able to retreat safely to a place where nothing happened.

But who knew, at this moment, Kangxi was being protected by a group of guards and walking towards a high place, but behind him came the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, roaring towards Kangxi's place.

Emperor Kangxi was very calm. He knew that this was a plot specifically aimed at him. It started when he went to investigate the dam alone. Maybe it wasn't Gaojiayan, and there were other places waiting for him.The guards in front of him formed a human wall layer by layer in front of him, the light of the knife flickered, the sound of arrows colliding with the blade echoed the sound, the sound of iron objects was endless, and many feather arrows fell on the ground.

Kangxi raised his eyes and saw a group of people on the height of the reservoir, all of them riding horses, wearing Hanfu, white scarves covering their faces, and wearing hairpins in a bun. They looked imposing and neatly formed, and they should have been trained.

Han Chinese? !Chinese! ! !

Kangxi suddenly came back to his senses when he saw the hair, who are they?Have you never shaved your head and changed clothes? ? ?

Apart from the Hongmen Tiandihui and the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who shouted against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, where did such a Han organization that wanted to rebel emerge?Kangxi kept thinking in his mind, but he didn't dare to relax a bit. He saw the head of the horse team on the opposite side, and it turned out to be a woman with a bun. She took the bow and arrow handed to her behind her and hugged it in her arms. ...in my arms, my child in my arms! ! !

The leader was actually a woman, and she was actually holding a child who was only young in her arms. I don't know what she said to the child when she lowered her head. The child looked straight at this place, and the bow and arrow in the woman's hand also It was ready, and before Kangxi could figure it out, she just felt that the fence formed by the guards in front of her was being pierced layer by layer by the feathered arrow, until it was in front of his eyes.

Anyway, Kangxi is also very good at bow and horse. He thought that he would never lose to a woman no matter what, so he raised the emperor's sword and intercepted the feathered arrow with all his strength, but the feathered arrow felt like a heavy weight, and his mouth was numb from the shock. , the sword in his hand almost dropped away.

He was shocked to take a few steps back, but these few steps were very critical. Kangxi lost his balance and slipped from the embankment into the flood water. The guards shouted "Your Majesty!!! Long live!!!"

Li Dequan was the first to jump into the water. If something happened to the Long Live Lord, let alone his nine clans, even the ten clans would not be able to pay for it. It's better to die than forget it, anyway, it's still loyal to protect the Lord.

The rest of the guards followed suit and jumped into the water to find someone. I'm afraid they, the imperial guards, will have to confess here today.

It was too late when the local garrison came to rescue him. Because Kangxi was Jian Xing, apart from bringing some personal servants, such as Li Dequan, the rest were the most central imperial guards in the Zhenghuang Banner directly under him. There will be no major problems with the troops in some local yamen.

It is really one in a thousand miles. Emperor Kangxi has been on the battlefield and played tricks and tricks, but he did not expect that there would be a person with such profound martial arts. Compared with Chen Jinnan and others, martial arts are like children's games.

In addition to a few casualties in the place where the entourage was waiting for questioning, the Governor of the River Dong Anguo and Feng You of the River Road just now had also died of random arrows in the chaos just now.Fortunately, the common people were timid. Although they were ordered not to expel the common people, they still did not dare to come forward because of Long Wei, so they had to watch from a distance, thus they also survived.

The local government quickly sent someone to deliver the letter to the Queen Mother's dragon boat trip, and sent it to the Crown Prince's office in the capital city in an urgent manner.

When the report was received, the Empress Dowager and her party had already arrived at Jiangning Mansion. Before disembarking from the boat, the report from Gaojiayan had already arrived. .After all, it was the empress dowager who had gone through two dynasties. After a while, she cheered up, asked about the incident carefully, and then thought of the prince who was far away in the capital.

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea to suppress her shock, moistened her throat, and called out in a low voice, "Prince Zhijun, Sibeile."

"The Queen Mother! My son is here." Zhijun Wang Yinyi and Yinzhen hurriedly knelt down, "What orders does the Queen Mother have?"

The queen mother nodded in relief. Although the two children were worried, they did not panic. After all, they were descendants of the Tian family, and they were very safe in major matters.

"The king of Zhijun might as well clear the way ahead and go back to Beijing first to see what the crown prince has ordered. As for escorting us, I will leave it to King Cheng, Wubeile, Babeile, and Sibeile..."

The queen mother looked at Yinzhen who was kneeling in front of her eyes, sighed softly, and grabbed Yinzhen's hand, Yinzhen could feel the queen mother trembling slightly, and was extremely surprised, but still looked at the queen mother calmly and waited for her orders . "Sibeile, I used to hear the emperor say that you are upright, but now I want you to take someone to find the emperor's whereabouts, are you willing?"

Yinzhen nodded vigorously, kowtowed to the empress dowager, and after bidding farewell to the brothers, he packed lightly and left secretly with others.

They all knew that the matter of the emperor's disappearance could not be revealed in the slightest, and the reason for returning to Luan was that the empress dowager's phoenix body violated harmony, so the group hurried back to Beijing.

After arranging the empress dowager and the king of Chengjun and others, Yinyi took a group of people and rushed back to the capital. He understood what the empress dowager and her elders meant, and he was afraid that someone would stir up trouble when Ama Khan was away.Yinfei knew that this was an opportunity, and if he seized it, he would very likely pull the prince down. There was no man in Aixinjueluo's family who didn't want to take that position.

Yinfei never believed that the prince would be able to settle down safely. Even if he had no intentions, the Hesheli family around him and those who supported him would not be at ease. As long as he showed any thoughts, he would fight him. When Khan Ama comes back, let the old man take a good look at his good son, whether he is really worthy of his love.

Not to mention what happened to King Zhijun after he returned to Beijing, nor Yinzhen who went to Gaojiayan to find his father in advance, but only said that the cavalry team in Gaojiayan was none other than Houhou, Chen Jinnan and others, and the arrow came down. , Watching Kangxi fall into the flood and be swept away by the waves with their own eyes, they still have a feeling that it is not real. The great cause of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty has been completed so easily for so many years. It is simply unbelievable. .

"My lord, the emperor of the Tartars thinks it's going to be a disaster, so I don't know what should we do next?" Chen Jinnan asked Zhe Houhou what he meant.

Hou Hou just smiled, "Don't be in a hurry, the national teacher, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Hearing what she said, Chen Jinnan felt much relieved and settled down a lot. If someone told him before that he would obey a woman in the future, he would not believe what he said.

"Then what does the lord mean?"

With the child in her arms, the group leisurely walked on the mountain road as if they were going on an outing. No one knew that this group of people had shot the emperor of the Qing Dynasty into the flood of Gaojiayan not long ago.

They had already changed their clothes, and since their men had never shaved their hair, they each wore a bamboo hat to cover them up. Anyway, they pretended to be servants and guards, and they were dressed just right.Chen Jinnan played the role of the master of the writer, Wan Wan was the wife, and the child in Wanwan's arms was the young master.

"I don't think Emperor Kangxi died so easily. There are many guards around him, and there must be many people searching for him. But we don't need to do anything more. If he dies, he is dead. We can take the opportunity to provoke him." If those princes are fighting for the throne, if they don’t die, when they go back, the prince and some ministers who support the prince in the Manchu court will suffer, and they can take advantage of the opportunity to mobilize. Let him have internal and external troubles, and we can profit from it. Galdan's son also grew up back then..."

After Hou Hou said something, Chen Jinnan understood that the master's idea was "the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's profit", and even if there is no civil strife, he must create civil strife.Chen Jinnan nodded. If it was said that he was responsible for leading troops to fight, but if it was intrigue, it was not that he was not smart, but that he was really not good at it. Otherwise, Taiwan would not have been recovered so easily back then. It has to be said that the Tartar Emperor was very good at buying people's hearts.

"Your Majesty is returning to the capital?" Chen Jinnan asked this, because he thought that the Tartar Emperor was in danger, so he thought that he would not go back again.

"Yes, return to Beijing." Houhou nodded, "Fufu, Jiaolang still needs more teaching from you."

"Yes. Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely teach the young master well, and I will live up to my master's planning and sacrifices over the years." Chen Jinnan likes the young master very much. He is a smart kid. He can understand, and can draw inferences from one instance, a rare unicorn favorite.

"Aniang, you still have to go to the capital? Can't you stay with Jiaolang?" The two-year-old child in Houhou's arms was very smart and fluent in speech.

Looking at his son's big black eyes, Wan Hou nodded ruthlessly, seeing the bright light in the child's eyes dimmed in an instant, Wan Hou couldn't bear it, but who made him a boy!He will become a great emperor in the future, and the time to shape the corners of his mouth was the time when he was a child. Once his heart softens, there is no time to regret it.

"Jiao Lang, Auntie has important things to do. After Auntie finishes this task, she will come back to accompany Jiaolang immediately. Therefore, before that, Jiaolang should learn knowledge from Yafu and practice martial arts diligently. , don’t be lazy, so that Jiao Lang can protect A Niang in the future.”

Little Jiaolang nodded vigorously, looked at Wanhou with big black eyes, and replied seriously, "Don't worry, Auntie, Jiaolang is already an older child, he will obediently listen to Yafu's words, and follow closely. Yafu has learned his skills, and he will become very powerful in the future, protecting Auntie."

Seeing him, Wan Wan's heart softened into a puddle of water, and she kissed his smooth and plump forehead, "Good jiaolang, you are really a good boy of my mother."

Jiao Lang was so happy that I fell asleep in my mother's arms after a while.Houhou and his team decided to go around Nanjing to see the orphans of the former Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they found out that all the orphans of the former Ming Dynasty were killed by Kangxi's order, and no one was left behind.

The person in charge of the Nanjing branch reported back to Houhou that he didn't know what to do, and was afraid of ruining the important affairs of the sect master, so he never acted rashly.Wan Hou nodded to show that he understood, if they dared to act without orders, then Wan Hou would have to worry!

I heard Yinzhen said that Emperor Kangxi ordered to come to Nanjing to pay homage to the former Ming emperor during his southern tour, and to search for the orphans of the former Ming Dynasty to be properly resettled.If Kangxi hadn't been shot into the flood by them and came to Nanjing as scheduled to pay homage to the former Ming emperor, and then searched for the orphans of the former Ming with great fanfare, bestowed titles and settled them properly, but in fact those people would have been killed long ago.In this way, Emperor Kangxi not only gained a good reputation for generosity, but also won the hearts of the people, erasing the stains such as "keeping hair but not head", "Three Massacres in Jiading" and "Ten Days in Yangzhou" when the Manchus entered the customs.

Tsk tsk, what a good plan!Hou Hou was really impressed. She told Chen Jinnan and others what she was thinking in detail, and ordered them to spread the matter together with the incident of Kangxi's falling into the water. The innocent soul of the orphan of the former Ming Dynasty came to take revenge.

In the Hongmen Tiandihui, there are naturally strange people such as quacks and warlocks. They understood the meaning of the Lord as soon as they heard it, and polished the matter over and over again overnight, striving to be eloquent, realistic and touching, and to provoke people to the greatest possible extent. Nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, and dissatisfaction with the oppression and enslavement of the Han people by the Manchus.

Houhou arranged the follow-up matters in Nanjing, while Yinzhen had no clue at Gaojiayan. On the day Yinzhen arrived, he ordered someone to keep his mouth shut, and he must not reveal a single word about what happened that day. After he confirmed that there was nothing missing, Only then did he ask what happened that day and where Emperor Kangxi fell into the water.

The accompanying imperial guard knelt on the ground and carefully recalled the situation at that time one by one, and described what he knew as clearly as possible, in order to be able to pay off the crime, and whether he was killed by the rebellious party that day, or dived to rescue him from drowning. They were all carefully memorized by Yinzhen one by one, and when he returned to Beijing, he could ask for credit for them, even if it was mourning after death, it would benefit the family.

The most urgent task is not to apprehend the rebels, but to find Khan Ama.Yinzhen took Su Peisheng and a few confidants, as well as the remaining imperial guards, dressed up as a caravan returning to the capital, and set off from Gaojiayan to search for the capital. Look for it in the direction south of the Yellow River.

After all, I don’t know the direction of the water flow. The flood waves are turbulent, mixed with silt and sand, and there is no direction to follow. Maybe I was swept into the mud by the flood at the moment of falling into the water, or it may be washed to other places. I hope God bless you !These are the words that Yinzhen thinks the most in his heart now, God bless.

At this moment, Kangxi and Li Dequan were recuperating in a remote village on the way to the capital.
