so

What made Yinhu toss and turn was a major event in the Lifan Academy.Man Pi, the left servant of Lifan Academy, will be transferred to the ancient place of Guihua Feiyang to serve in the army.Yinhu wanted to go with her.It has been half a year since Yinhu became a director of the Lifan Academy in February, and the compilation of "Regulations of the Lifan Academy" has already been on the right track.The things to be done by compiling the book have almost been done. There has long been a detailed strategic map of Mongolia in the south and north of the desert, showing Kangxi, where are the number of herdsmen, what kind of accent, where are the water sources, where are the pastures, and where are the roads? It is clear at a glance whether it is smooth or not, the coverage of the station, etc.In the Lifan Academy, Yinhu has almost done everything he can to prepare for this war.He wanted to go to the battlefield, and he wanted to go to the place closest to the battlefield.

Every man has the dream of bathing in blood, and so does Yinhu.Although he has been on the battlefield, he has always been by Kangxi's side. He has marched a long way, but he has never really fought the enemy.Yinhu has practiced riding and shooting hard all his life, in order to make up for the regrets of his previous life on the battlefield of the western expedition to Junggar.

Yinhu knew what would happen in this war.Kangxi's first real personal conquest by the royal family was not actually a victory.During this march, the West Route Army was hindered by the rain and snow and did not arrive in time. Although the Central Route Army led by Kangxi crossed the desert and found Galdan's camp, Galdan had already fled. The army lost contact and food was in short supply. Kangxi almost starved to death in the desert, so he had to retreat in a hurry.If the West Route Army hadn't happened to meet Galdan's main force in Zhaomodo and barely won the battle, Kangxi's personal conquest of Galdan this time would have become a big joke.Yinhu didn't want all this to happen again, and it was not only what Kangxi thought in his heart, but also what Yinhu wanted in his heart.

This is his country, his nation, and he desires this victory more than anyone else.Because he knows the result, but he doesn't want that result, he wants to change, even if this change contains unpredictable risks, he can't help but try.He wants to invite himself to the border and change the history in his memory with his own hands.

Preparing for a war, especially a war of extermination, is vast and complicated.Kangxi had no intention of letting his sons participate in the preparations for this war. After all, the sons were still too young, uncertain, and lacking in ability. This matter required absolute secrecy and security.Galdan's old lair was too far away, and it was impossible for the Qing army to go on an expedition alone, so they could only lead Galdan to move to a place closer to the capital in Moxi, and then send troops to wipe it out in one fell swoop.A major earthquake just occurred in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province in April. If the imperial court showed its intention to send troops at this time, it would be a little disregarding public opinion. It had to wait until it got the news from Galdan, and then decided to send troops with thunderous momentum. In the endless passing of time, it gradually evolved into an unresolved situation.

However, Yinhu guessed Kangxi's meaning in advance, so he inevitably got involved in the preparations for the war more or less.Yinhu acted in charge of the affairs of the vassal court, and showed extraordinary ability at the beginning of his errands, which made Kangxi very happy.It is always comforting for a father to have a son who has grown up.Kangxi did not give up the western expedition plan because of the earthquake in Pingyang. Junggar has always coveted Monan Mobei, delusional to unify Mongolia, and take the revival of the motherland as its own responsibility. However, the Khalkha tribes had already surrendered to Dalu during the 30th year of Kangxi’s Duolun League. In the Qing Dynasty, Monan had been a minister of the Qing Dynasty before entering the customs, coveting Mongolia, that is, coveting the territory of the Qing Dynasty, which made Kangxi intolerable.What also made Kangxi gratified was that in this matter, Yinhu had exactly the same idea as him - Galdan must die.

In the process of secretly preparing for the war, Yinhu's contribution can be said to be indispensable.The Mongolian cattle, sheep, camels, terrain exploration, several feasible marching routes, and the selection of Mongolian guides are almost all arranged by Yinhu.At first, Kangxi was not at ease in entrusting such complicated affairs to the young Yinhu, but Yinhu handled them one by one, with meticulous and thoughtful thinking, and it was more in line with his wishes than the previous ministers, which almost made Kangxi There was nothing to be picky about, so Kangxi let him do it with confidence.Kangxi's trust in Yinhu deepened day by day, and he only felt that this son was the most worthy of his true son besides the crown prince.But at this moment, facing Yinhu who was kneeling in front of him with a resolute face, Kangxi wished he could kick him.

"What did you say? You want to follow Man Pi to naturalize? What are you going to do, are you in a mess? Stay in Beijing!"

"Khan Ama, the matter that Khan Ama explained in Li Fanyuan, the minister has almost done it. The situation on General Feiyangu's marching road has not been found out. If he goes out in the morning, only Khan Ama will arrive in time. , isn’t it more dangerous? One thing doesn’t bother the two masters. Since the minister has made a start, it is better to handle this matter properly. When the minister arrives in the northwest, he can also organize investigation and exploration on the spot to find out the terrain and weather, so as not to The Japanese battlefield has undergone changes. Besides, I want to go to the battlefield to practice, I want to be Ba Tulu, and I want to show off the power of the Qing army."

"Nonsense," Kangxi didn't yell, and let Yinhu kneel all the time, "Kneel here and think why I won't let you go, if you don't understand, don't get up."

"Khan Ama, I understand." Yinhu lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"What do you understand?"

"In the 27th year, Bo Wang was the general of Fuyuan, his eldest brother was the deputy, and Galdan was in front. The two disagreed, which caused the military plan to be delayed. The minister is a prince. If he is in front of the army, his status is no better than others. Disharmony between the commanders has caused delays in the military situation, and a hundred deaths are hard to redeem. Khan Ama, I am going to be naturalized. I only take charge of road surveys and preparations for war. I am not good at talking about other military and political matters. I am willing to issue a military order. If there is a slight violation Commander Yang Gu’s orders are subject to military law. I have made up my mind to go to the frontier, and I ask Khan Ama for permission.” Yinhu thought in his heart, these days, he has fully proved his ability, and Kangxi is unwilling to send him Go, I'm afraid it's just for this.

"Hmph, that's all?"

"Also... before the minister arrives at the army, General Fei Yanggu will definitely be distracted to protect him. It may be a burden in battle. Khan Ama, the minister is not someone who needs protection. With a bow and arrow and a saber, a son can also go to battle and kill Enemies are by no means inferior to humans!"

"No more?" Kangxi ignored Yinhu's rhetoric completely, and his heart was filled with anger, no matter how he looked at Yinhu, he didn't like it.What is this kid thinking?How old is he, less than 16 years old, no marriage, no children, and he invited himself to go to the border to investigate the enemy's situation?Is there no one in the Qing Dynasty, let him, a prince who is not yet an adult, go to danger?What if something happened!This child seems to be a good material, definitely a material for assisting the government and a good prime minister, why is he so stubborn in this matter.

"Huihan Ama, my son can't figure it out." Yinhu answered respectfully with his head bowed.

"I'll give you a chance, don't think about going to the Northwest, go back to Li Fanyuan and do your job well. Kneel down." Kangxi said coldly, this is already the limit he can tolerate.

Yinhu didn't look up, he knew that Kangxi was angry, but sometimes, there were certain things that he knew he couldn't do.Yinhu must go to the West Road, and must try to change the situation where the Qing army went deep alone, with insufficient food, grass, firearms, camels, and equipment. The great battle that was won miserably turned into a real massacre of the enemy.Yinhu took off his hat respectfully, kowtowed his head, and said solemnly: "I only hope that this time I can go to naturalization with my servant Man Pi, please Khan Ama for permission."

"What if I don't agree?" Kangxi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"I don't know." Yinhu said in a low voice, and added after a while: "I... can only kneel down to ask."

"Since you are willing to kneel down to beg, just kneel here and think about it. When you understand it, when will you get up. There is no need to do errands. Didn't you say that the errands of the Lifan Academy are almost done. When you think about it, Just go back to Wuyizhai to study, I don't think you have learned the three cardinal principles and five constant principles!" After Kangxi finished speaking, he ignored Yinhu and went to review the memorial.In just one sentence, Yinhu's errand was relieved.

This job was earned by Yinhu himself, and Kangxi could understand how much hard work was involved in it. This child looks very good on weekdays, has a down-to-earth personality, can calm down, and does things steadily and thoughtfully, but there is only one thing that is not good. Things have to be done no matter what, regardless of the consequences, regardless of gains and losses, with a kind of resolute heroism and persistence. This is the case with forging the crown prince's memorial in 33 years, and it is the same with the request to go to the border now.If this kind of temperament is allowed to develop, Yinfeng will not be able to use it very smoothly.Kangxi wanted to continue this matter to fix him and grind Yinhu's temper.In Kangxi's view, resigning from the errand of the Lifan Academy is the best punishment. This is where Yinhu can prove his ability.

However, Yinhu didn't care about Kangxi's dismissal of his errand, and kowtowed respectfully, saying: "Hey, I thank the emperor for your kindness." hat, kneeling straight.

Kangxi gave him a cold look, stopped talking to him, and began to approve the memorial.After approving for a while, I met with several officials.The ministers who came in trembled when they saw the eighth elder brother kneeling for punishment, but Kangxi acted as usual, acting as if Yinhu didn't exist.When it was lunch time, Kangxi set out a meal in the Qianqing Palace, and ate a few mouthfuls by himself, but he didn't have any intention of getting Yinhu up to eat together.

Kangxi has been secretly observing Yinhu, and seeing that there is no regret in his expression, and he still looks resolute, he can't help but sigh in his heart.At this time, Orondai came.

Erlundai came to report to Kangxi that he wanted Yinhu to go out for a drink.As soon as he came in, he saw Yinhu kneeling on one side, unlike all the people who stuffed their curiosity into their stomachs when they came in, Erlundai didn't even kneel, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Why did the emperor let Ba ah?" Brother kneels here!"

Yinhu had a headache for a while, and didn't dare to answer, so he could only kneel upright, with his head slightly lowered, with a regretful expression.

"What's the matter with you?" Kangxi frowned and asked with some displeasure.Kangxi was still very protective of his uncle's family. Orondai's Ama Tong Guogang died on the battlefield. Kangxi always felt that he owed the Tong family. At this time, Orondai also attacked the first-class prince, although he was not very polite. , but Kangxi is mostly tolerant, and it is impossible to be really ruthless to deal with him.

Erlundai was not a fool either, he immediately slapped his horseshoe sleeves and greeted him with respect, but before he was given a seat, he found a pier to sit on, and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is here to ask Eighth Brother to go out for a drink. "

"He can't go," Kangxi replied straightforwardly, "If you have nothing else to do, just kneel down first. I still have important things to deal with."

Erlundai didn't have any intention of leaving, instead he pointed at Yinhu and said: "Your Majesty, since he started to do errands as the eighth elder brother, everyone from the top to the bottom has praised him. One day he will not be conscientious, slaves can hear, eighth elder brother In the Lifan courtyard, I often forget to eat when I get busy. Eighth elder brother is now so tired that he is skinny. Tired of crooked, I want to ask him to go out and have some fresh food with my servant to replenish my body. Tsk, I feel sorry for my servant when I see my eighth elder brother losing weight day by day. Long live God, you are his kissing Ama, this servant will not believe it , don't you feel distressed?" After what Orondai said, the matter of inviting elder brother to drink was very reasonable.Yinhu felt a little funny when he heard it, and only Erlundai could say such words.

Kangxi glanced at Yinhu, his face was sharp, he looked much thinner, his eyes were a little blue, he probably didn't sleep well recently, what was he thinking about as a child?My body has been tossed like this, and I am ashamed to say that I am going to the border.Thinking of this, Kangxi became even angrier, and he didn't have a good look at Erlundai, and said, "Didn't you see him kneeling as a punishment?"

Erlundai was not happy anymore: "Of course I saw it. Long live, you have the heart to punish such a good boy as the eighth elder brother? If the slave has such a good son, he will be spoiled by heaven." After a pause, he asked Yin again Hu: "Eighth brother, what did you do?"

Without Kangxi's permission, Yinhu didn't dare to say anything, and looked up at Kangxi's direction for a while, with some guilt in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

"He asked to be naturalized." Kangxi felt that there was no need to hide it. Ama Erlundai died on the battlefield. Although the father and son were at odds on the surface, they were actually very close. The one who can cry is sadder than anyone else.Maybe Orondai can help Yinhu, a stubborn boy, to open up his mind, Kangxi thought so.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi obviously found the wrong person. When Erlundai heard it, he was a little surprised, and then said: "This is a good thing. I will win the world in the Qing Dynasty. The eighth elder brother is willing to contribute to the country, so it should be a reward." Long Live Lord, how can this be punished?" Elundai walked over as he spoke, trying to help Yinhu up.

Yinhu evaded without a trace, and said in a low voice: "Don't dare." But he suddenly understood Kangxi's intention in his heart, and turned to Kangxi: "Khan Ama calm down, I know I was wrong."

Seeing that Yinhu took the initiative to admit his mistake, Kangxi's expression turned pale, but his tone did not loosen, and said: "If you know you are wrong, kneel down and reflect on yourself." Then he said to Erlundai: "Eighth elder brother is spared from the errand, and I will return to you in the future. Studying in the study. You don’t have to think of ways to invite him to drink, I forbid, the prince is not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers without permission, there is no need to mention this matter in the future, you can kneel down.”

Elundai wanted to say something more, but seeing Kangxi's expression, he didn't say anything, and knelt down first.Kangxi made a show, and Liang Jiugong also retreated. In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, only Kangxi and Yinhu father and son were left.

"After thinking about it for a day, what do you understand?"

"Chen, I didn't miss my mother," Yinhu uttered a few words in a low voice.

"You can think of your mother, but you haven't thought of me?" Kangxi originally thought that Yinhu could understand his intentions through the matter of Orondai, but he didn't want Yinhu to understand, but he didn't understand the point .The anger accumulated for a day finally broke out, and he stepped forward and kicked Yinhu on the shoulder fiercely, "Once the troops are dispatched, Fei Yanggu's troops will cut off Galdan's back from the rear, and they will be the most dangerous one. You I have gone, if I don’t come back... Uncle Tong Guogang died on the Junggar battlefield, you are not yet 16..." Kangxi choked up for a while, unable to continue.He had an ominous premonition in his heart, thinking that if Pai Yinhu went to naturalize at this time, he might never see her again.Seeing Yinhu's blank expression, he raised his leg and kicked Yinhu's waist again: "Unfilial things!"

Yinhu was dumbfounded all of a sudden.He thought about the various reasons why Kangxi punished him, but never thought that Kangxi would not let him go because he was reluctant to part with him.How could it be that she couldn't bear him?Yinhu seemed unable to feel the pain on his body, and was still in a daze.Is this still his Ama?In his memory, although Khan Ama cared about the princes, he still treated the princes like pawns.The prince who really likes him is probably the only one, and the prince can't afford to like him like that.For him, it is absolutely impossible to have such thoughts.Wasn't the elder brother less than twenty when he set off?Although Yinhu thought that his young age might be the reason why Kangxi didn't let him go, but he didn't know that it was because he was afraid that he would die on the battlefield.Yinhu only felt a burst of pain in his heart, remembering that in his previous life, when he had severe typhoid fever and was not far away from living in the world, the emperor only approved "encourage the treatment" and ignored it. When he was so sick that he couldn't walk, He was also reprimanded by the emperor's father for "walking lazy and never going." How could such an emperor be worried that he would not come back?It doesn't matter if you don't come back, the Qing Dynasty has no shortage of princes.

Yinhu looked up at Kangxi, there were tears in his eyes.Yinhu just felt too sad to speak, Ama, are you really worried about him?When Yinhu felt the so-called paternal love for the first time since his rebirth, he was punished to kneel for a day and even kicked twice.But Yinhu is still grateful, Jun's kindness is profound, and he cannot but be grateful.He could hate Yinzhen, but he couldn't hate his father no matter what.To be born as a son of man is to owe one's life, one can only do one's best in one's life, and dare not resent one's heart.He used to care too much, that's why he didn't dare to call himself the son of man, he used to be too eager, that's why he forced himself to realize that the emperor's father was always just an emperor, not a father.

But at this moment, Yinhu was shaken.He didn't ask for much, so that was enough.Enduring the pain, he knelt upright, stared at Kangxi in a daze, and finally managed to say something: "My son is unfilial, Khan Ama calm down, don't get angry, my son really knows his mistake."

"not going?"

Yinhu looked up at Kangxi cautiously, but his eyes were still firm, and he said slowly in a deep voice: "Son... I still want to go. Khan Ama, please don't get angry and listen to your son, can you?"

Kangxi was still angry, and after hearing Yinhu's sincere tone and seeing the rare Rumu eyes, he couldn't help softening his heart, sighed, and didn't sit back on the dragon chair. He sat down on the pier, but turned to one side, not looking at Yinhu, and said coldly: "Say."

Kangxi kicked with all his strength under anger, just now Yinhu's heart was hit, and he didn't notice it much, and the pain only screamed at this moment.Yinhu only broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but he didn't dare to lose his appearance. He bowed his head enduring the pain, tried hard to control his trembling voice, and said calmly: "Khan Ama, you care about Yinhu's kindness, Yinhu will never dare Forget. Yinhu dared to ask Khan Ama, because it was best for Yinhu to go for this matter. Man Pi, the left servant of the Lifan Academy, has been investigating the enemy's situation many times since he was a doctor in the Lifan Academy. I have rich experience, but the chief minister is investigating the enemy's situation, and he doesn't pay much attention to the battle preparation, terrain, and astronomical phenomena. It is important to know the enemy when raising troops, but knowing yourself is the prerequisite. The harmony of people has been occupied, and the right time and place must not be lost. If we go to naturalize together today, we can also complement each other's shortcomings. The minister is older than the minister, and the minister is more careful than the minister. The preparations for war together are comparable to those in Beijing. Khan Amma has seen the terrain and route in the south, and the matter in the northwest will only be done better. Although I am young, I am worthy of this task."

Yinhu paused for a moment, seeing Kangxi's body turned slightly, knowing that Kangxi had listened to what he said, he pondered for a while, and said: "Besides, Yuchen, serving the country is also serving oneself. Yu Manpi, serving the president for himself It must come before serving the country." Yinhu dared to say this, on the one hand, because Man Pi had gotten a little closer to Mingzhu recently, and on the other hand, when Man Pi was an official, he really cared more about self-interest.In the previous life, Kangxi also said, "Man Pi is a man, and I know that although his talent and strength are desirable, his conduct is very bad."

Kangxi smiled lightly, but said nothing.

Yinhu went on to say: "Khan Ama bravely captured Oboi at the age of 14, settled the crisis, and took charge of the government. The affairs of the court are changing rapidly, and the danger is even more dangerous than flying stones and arrows on the battlefield. Although the minister is not talented, he is not as good as Khan. Ama is very grateful, but Muhan Ama was young and brave, and he also had a great wish to stabilize the country. My Qing Dynasty will soon conquer the world, and my elder brothers in all dynasties have gone to the battlefield to serve. Now the four sides are at peace, but the west border Galdan is in chaos. Yinhu is also afraid, if I don't go this time, I won't have a chance in the future..." Yinhu's voice became weaker and weaker, and after finishing speaking, she looked up at Kangxi, with a hint of grievance in her eyes, and pleading in her tone Meaning: "Khan Ama, you just trust your son once. If your son can take care of himself, he won't cause any trouble or get hurt. He promises to do his errands seriously, and he will definitely not embarrass my Aixinjueluo family. "

"If I don't let you go, how long can you still talk about it?" Kangxi was a little funny, and when he looked back, he saw the cold sweat on Yinhu's face, and then he suddenly realized that he kicked hard just now , asked: "How bad is the pain?"

Yinhu hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Son deserves it."

"You're tired after kneeling all day today. Go to the study on time tomorrow morning." Kangxi didn't promise him to go to Xifeng, but let him go back without any pain.

However, Yinhu understood what Kangxi meant, kowtowed, and his excited tone was beyond words: "I thank Khan Ama for your kindness. My son will definitely study hard every day, waiting for Khan Ama's will."

"Slick tongue. Kneel down." Kangxi glared at Yinhu, but he didn't mean to blame, and called out: "Liang Jiugong!" After Liang Jiugong came in, Kangxi said: "You help the eighth elder brother out."

Yinhu smiled and said softly, "Thank you, Wenda."
