A few days later, Fu Ling'an was ordered to go north to "suppress bandits", but before he left, he did not disobey Long Yintian's order, and finally had a good heart-to-heart talk with his ama, Fu Heng. To persuade him, but he has made up his mind, even if he bears the eternal infamy, he doesn't care.
Seeing that Fu Ling'an was so persistent, Fu Heng didn't do those unnecessary things anymore, but said to him earnestly when he was seeing off at the city gate before leaving: "Since your heart is firm, I will do it this time." Ama will not force it. In the north, you just give it a go. As for the capital, Ama will find a way to help you."
Fu Heng's words moved Fu Ling'an deeply. As a son of man, not being able to be filial by Ama's side is already a big disobedience. For his safety in the future, his Ama doesn't know how much to worry about.
Thinking of this, Fu Ling'an didn't care that this is a city gate where people come and go, and he didn't care that there were soldiers accompanying him around. He knelt down in front of Fu Heng with his knees bent and kowtowed three times. , After getting up without saying anything, he just got on his horse and rode away towards the north.
Looking at Fu Ling'an's receding figure from a distance, Fu Heng, a veteran of the Yuan battlefield, couldn't help but have red eyes.
With Fuling'an heading north, the Ministry of War, which had been idle for a few days, became busy again. After all, the dispatching of the army involved too many complicated things, and as long as there is a mistake in every aspect, it may cause big problems. , coupled with the particularity of the army and the emperor's attention, so naturally no one dares to neglect in this regard.
A few months later, Nu Dahai's war against the Kou in Jingzhou was coming to an end, and the request for merit was naturally delivered to the capital one step earlier.
Logically speaking, Long Yintian should have been happy when the army won the battle, but when he finished reading the memorial sent by Jingzhou, instead of showing any joy on his face, there was a trace of helplessness on his face.
It is true that Nu Dahai calmed down the bandits, but he actually rescued Prince Duan's son and daughter in the chaos. Although Prince Rui was dead, it was obvious that the result he wanted was not achieved. achieve.
It's all right now, the news that Nu Dahai rescued these two people may have already spread throughout the Jingzhou military camp. At this time, sending someone to kill them will not be worth the loss. The title of Prince Rui may not be cut.
In desperation, Long Yintian had no choice but to order Nu Dahai to return to Beijing immediately, and escort the children of Prince Rui to Beijing together.
Not long after the decree was issued, a eunuch reported that he was seeking an audience with the prince and was waiting for the decree outside the palace.
As soon as Long Yintian heard it, he knew that Hong Zhou was probably here for the matter of Prince Rui, so after thinking about it, he directly ordered to meet Hong Zhou alone in the imperial garden of the back hall.
After leaving the imperial study room, Long Yintian had just walked to the gazebo in the imperial garden and sat down, when he saw Hong Zhou walking quickly under the guidance of a young eunuch from a distance. It is also rare and unusually serious.
Seeing this scene, Long Yintian resolutely rejected his previous guess in his heart, because in his opinion, the matter of Prince Rui was not worthy of Hong Zhou's concern; The things that Hong Zhou had done had come to fruition, thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
After performing the ceremony as usual, after all the eunuchs and maids retreated a hundred steps away, Hongzhou carefully took out a few seemingly ordinary memorials from his arms, and handed them to Long Yintian respectfully. And at this moment, he, who has always been unrestrained, is also very nervous.
The reason is very simple, because Long Yintian is going to move people from Aixinjueluo's family this time. Every time I'm worried, I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll get involved too.
Carefully looking at the memorial in his hand, Long Yintian nodded in satisfaction. Although it is impossible to thoroughly investigate Prince Zhuang with these things, it can cut off his power and party feathers very well, and in recent months Prince Lai Zhuang has been bedridden all the time, and obviously he has a few days to live, so this matter must be done before Prince Zhuang dies, otherwise, if the hidden danger is not eliminated, trouble will surely arise in the future.
On the other hand, Long Yintian is also very satisfied with Liu Yong, who was recommended by Hong Zhou this time. Several cases from more than 20 years ago can be investigated in such detail, and he is shrewd and able to handle affairs, so he was able to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Criminal Justice so quickly. , apart from Hong Zhou playing a certain role, more of it depends on his own ability.
"You did a good job." Long Yintian said with a smile while closing the memorial in his hand, "I will make an order after the court meeting in the day after tomorrow. When you go back, make good preparations. Don't make any mistakes."
After thinking for a while, Long Yintian immediately added: "When you have time, go visit Prince Zhuang and ask him if there is anything else he wants to say to me."
"My brother understands." Hong Zhou responded, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Although Long Yintian said these two sentences in a vague way, he could understand the meaning of them. If he guessed right After he completely took over the positions of the Ministry of Punishment and Zhenghuang Banner Commander, the time for Prince Zhuang's death may have arrived.
However, seeing that Long Yintian was obviously in a good mood at this time, the selfish Hongzhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about the incident in Jingzhou, and the army will return to Beijing soon. I don't know how the Emperor plans to deal with this matter." thing?"
Although Hong Zhou asked about Prince Rui's bereaved son, in fact, he was worried about his son Yongbi, because it was Yongbi who accompanied the army to Jingzhou to carry out the secret decree.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Nu Dahai, who had no eyesight, messed up what was supposed to be a surefire thing. As a result, Yongbi couldn't completely complete the task assigned by the emperor. Will the emperor blame him? It's still two words when I come down.
It was also because of this that Hong Zhou thought that he, the fourth elder brother of the emperor, was in a good mood today, so he quickly took the opportunity to find out.
Of course, Long Yintian knew the importance of Yongbi in Hongzhou's heart, and it was precisely because there was no great danger in going to Jingzhou to fight against the invaders this time, and he could earn military merits, so he let Yongbi, who had just turned 17, join the army Those who went there would take this opportunity to pave the way for him to serve in the Ministry of War.
Yongbi is a good seedling, and Long Yintian also has the intention of cultivating him. After all, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes when leading the army for the first time, and it will be fine to sharpen it in the future.
But this is not a big deal after all. Although Long Yintian was a little dissatisfied in his heart, it was fine in the past, so he took a meaningful look at Hong Zhou and said, "Since Prince Rui has left a son, the court should treat him kindly. As for Yong Bi, after he returns to Beijing, let him go to the Ministry of War to report on his work. After these few things are over, I will give you two months of leave so that you can take a good rest."
As soon as Hongzhou heard it, he immediately understood what he meant as the fourth elder brother of the emperor, and when he was overjoyed, he hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "My brother, I thank the emperor for his kindness."
God knows how much he misses his idle and quiet days in his heart. Ever since he, the fourth brother of the emperor, dragged him onto a pirate ship, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. He has lost weight several times. He looks like the absurd prince he used to be.
Although Long Yintian knew what was in Hong Zhou's heart, but he didn't intend to expose it. After talking about homework, he asked Hong Zhou to retreat, because he could also see that his younger brother was exhausted after running around for days. I've been haggard a lot, and the two-month vacation should be considered a small reward for Hong Zhou.
☆, out of the palace to meet the army
With the news of the return of the Pingkou army to Beijing, almost all men, women and children in the capital knew the news that the imperial court had won another battle. These things seemed to have nothing to do with the common people, but frequent successes naturally mean that the country is rich and the people are strong. , the people's livelihood is safe and peaceful, and the common people are more or less happy in their hearts.
Moreover, the triumphant return of the army is usually very lively, and ordinary people who love to join in the fun will naturally not miss this opportunity, maybe they can see a few big people who usually don't want to see.
The people in the palace naturally knew the news a long time ago. Rewards to the three armies, banquets for ministers, etc. must be prepared in advance, and after the army arrives in Beijing, they will temporarily station in the Green Camp ten miles outside the city and accept reorganization. The household department has also been busy for several days.
Throughout the past few years, the Qing Dynasty has been constantly fighting big and small battles, even worse than that of Lord Kangxi, so many civil servants think that our emperor is too belligerent, and the treasury can't afford it in the long run. Naturally, there were more and more remonstrance notes.
Looking at the military generals in the court, not only did none of them object to the emperor's superficial belligerence, but they praised the emperor for his style of Qin and Wu, and they also actively challenged the frontier wars.
Sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study, Long Yintian looked at the two memorials with diametrically opposite meanings at hand, and couldn't help smiling slightly. Leaving aside the officials, at least the generals in the court were basically on his side. Yes, only a few disobedient ones have already been replaced by him. With such a result, it shows that his efforts in the past few years have been very effective.
As for the worries of those civil servants, it is not unreasonable. Even Long Yintian himself knows this very well. He thinks he is not an emperor who is good at keeping his career. On the contrary, what he is best at is expanding the territory. Even if it is a war, if the national treasury is not tight right now, he would have already personally conquered it.
'Another 20 years should be enough. "Long Yintian thought to himself, it takes 20 years to train a successor, although the time is a bit tight, but it is enough, if he is allowed to be the emperor for too long, maybe the whole country will really die in the future." To become a military-controlled country would be a catastrophe for the Qing Dynasty.
Fortunately, the lifespan of human beings is only so long, and such a dangerous situation should not appear in four or fifty years. By then, he may have been buried in the ground for peace.
"My son pays respects to Huang Ama."
Long Yintian's thoughts were interrupted by two familiar voices in unison. He looked up, and it turned out that it was Yong Rong and Yong Xuan who had just finished their morning class. Is there something urgent?
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, Long Yintian put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Get up. Why are you two coming to the Imperial Study Room at this time?"
Just when Yong Xuan was thinking about how to speak, the impatient Yong Rong stepped forward and said: "Huang Ama, I want to go out of the palace with my eighth brother."
Yongxuan secretly glanced at Yongrong a little helplessly, and then added: "Today is the Pingkou army returning to Beijing, so Erchen and Sixth Brother want to go out of the palace together to see the army's demeanor."
Long Yintian first looked at Yong Rong who was full of anticipation, then turned his gaze to Yong Xuan, and looked him up and down, because Yong Rong had determined to be a general since he was a child, and he yearned for the army very much, so he would have such a request It's not surprising at all, but what Yongxuan did is a bit intriguing.
After all, elder brother is different from Gege, it is not difficult to leave the palace, that is, Yongrong and Yongxuan are still young, so they need to ask for instructions before leaving the palace, and those adult elder brothers are issued with special waist cards, It is free to come and go on weekdays.
Although he couldn't see Yongxuan's intentions, Long Yintian readily agreed to their request, but told them to return to the palace on time.
Yong Rong was naturally overjoyed, and after thanking him, he dragged Yong Xuan away in a hurry, it can be seen that this period of time really suffocated him, and he felt uncomfortable all day if he didn't have fun.
After the two little guys left, Long Yintian immediately ordered two people from the Wuer faction to follow them secretly, so as to be prepared, and then turned his attention to the memorial in front of him, and concentrated on handling government affairs.
On the other side, Yong Xuan was dragged by Yong Rong to trot all the way, and he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, but his physical strength was far inferior to that of Yong Rong, who was three years older than him, and he was out of breath after a while Hush.
"Sixth brother, stop...stop for a while, I can't run anymore." Yongxuan desperately pulled Yongrong's arm, which made the wild little horse stop in its tracks, "Huh... Huh...it doesn't take a moment for the army to enter the city, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Cough..." Yong Rong's face was slightly red when asked, and after hesitating for a while, he murmured: "I want to see what gifts I can get soon..."
"Gift?" Yongxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly guessed the hidden meaning behind Yongrong's words, but his face showed a good brother, pouted Said: "Since you are in such a hurry, Brother Six, let's go quickly, just don't let me run with you anymore, I can't run anymore."
Yong Rong patted Yong Xuan's shoulder with a smile, and said while walking: "Eighth brother, your body is really too weak, you need to work hard, or you will be reprimanded by Huang Ama sooner or later."
"What the sixth brother taught me is that I must remember my younger brother." Although Yongxuan replied half-jokingly, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because he always had a sense of arrogance in his heart, and he didn't want to be punished by him. Compared with these brothers, part of the reason for his deliberately showing his edge before was also part of the reason.
However, he knew that Yong Rong was a straightforward person, and these words were words of concern from his heart, without any utilitarianism in them, so although he was upset, he didn't really take it to heart. For his older brothers, Yong Rong is relatively easy to control. As long as he shows kindness at the right time and gives a little help at critical times, the rewards he will get are quite generous.
Leaving the palace in a carriage, Yong Rong was very excited along the way, raising the curtains from time to time to look left and right, after all he is an elder brother, even if he can go out of the palace on weekdays, he can only come out once a month or two, so Naturally very happy.
In contrast, Yongxuan seemed much calmer. He just sat there and chatted with Yongrong, looking thoughtful, but in fact his mood was completely different. I don't know where to fly.
Gradually away from the palace and into the bustling neighborhood, the people around have become a lot more noisy. Yongxuan didn't seem to like this environment, she pursed her lower lips lightly and frowned slightly, and Piaoyuan's thoughts also turned. Back in reality, his eyes were once again as clear as before.
After traveling for half an hour, the carriage finally stopped in front of a restaurant. This restaurant is located in a prime location in the downtown area. It is not difficult to guess just by looking at the luxurious decoration at the door. Affordable, and people who come and go here can see that it is either rich or expensive.
After getting off the carriage, Yong Rong and Yong Xuan walked into the restaurant with ease, and just had a face-to-face with the boss who came to greet him in person, and then walked straight to the special private room upstairs, it can be seen that the two of them are already Been a regular here.
The boss is also a discerning person. Seeing that the two masters did not speak, and everything was being done by the accompanying guards, he knew that the other party was unwilling to make a statement, so he naturally didn't dare to do anything more, just ordered Xiao The second is to serve attentively, and then turn around and continue to greet other guests.
After the shop waiter served snacks and tea and left, Yong Rong immediately got up and went to the window, looking at the street scene and asked, "Eighth brother, you said it's almost noon, why is there no sign of this army?"
"Sixth brother, you are too impatient..." Yongxuan sat down at the table leisurely, and after eating a small piece of pea yellow, he continued unhurriedly: "Actually, the army should have arrived a few days ago. In the suburbs of Beijing, some soldiers and horses will be sent to Beijing to receive rewards after rest, this is no different than going to Beijing, so naturally we can't come here in a hurry."
Yong Rong also knows about the deployment and arrangement of the army, but he is such a quick-tempered person, so he couldn't help complaining: "Of course I know this, but their speed is too slow. If I come to lead the army , I’m afraid it’s already here.”
Yongxuan, on the other hand, took Yongrong's words very seriously, and added some embellishments: "If the sixth brother leads the army alone, it will definitely become the fastest 'God March' in the Qing Dynasty in the future."
"God's march...", this unintentional sentence caused rippling in Yongrong's heart, and he slowly retracted his gaze from the street, and the inspiration in his mind burst out instantly, "There are clouds in the art of war" "Soldiers are precious and fast", if you can really lead an army alone to come and go like a shadow, and then cooperate with tactics and tactics, maybe a small army can determine the outcome of a big battle; and if you can really travel thousands of miles a day, then The number of troops should not be too large, [-] people is the limit, otherwise it will not be conducive to dispatching, but will affect their mobility...'
Seeing that Yong Rong suddenly lowered her head and remained silent, looking like she was in deep thought, although Yong Xuan was puzzled, she wisely did not disturb her, and after taking a sip of her tea, she began to plan her own purpose.
☆, see the new moon for the first time
The reason why Yongxuan and Yongrong got so close is entirely the result of his deliberate friendship. Looking at these elder brothers now, he thinks that if they handle it properly, Yongrong will definitely become a great help to him in the future. The sooner the emotional foundation is laid, the better.
In Yongxuan's view, Yongzhang's character is not only too gentle, but also too simple. Although such a person will not become his resistance in the future, it will never bring him any great help, so there is no It is necessary to deliberately win over, as long as the face is decent.
Although Yongxuan and Yongxuan were born of the same mother, Yongxuan still has not been able to thoroughly understand the true thoughts in his fourth brother's heart; moreover, Yongxuan's city is very deep, and he is especially well versed in the way of advancing and retreating to protect himself. Xuan didn't dare to act rashly without being fully sure. After all, he didn't have any real power yet, so if he was a little careless, his previous efforts might be wasted.
As for Yongqi, let alone, if Yongxuan couldn't see such an obvious hostility, she wouldn't have to hang out in the palace.
On the other hand, Yongxuan will deliberately win over Yongrong because he is interested in Yongbi's support for Yongrong, and the person behind Yongbi is naturally He Prince Hongzhou, and the hidden things in it are naturally different. It speaks for itself.
That's why Yong Rong, a guy who doesn't know anything about court affairs, treats Yong Bi as only a good friend, and Yong Bi's choice of sixth elder brother Yong Rong, I'm afraid it is also foresight.
Although Yongxuan is not very sure about drawing Yongbi over, as long as he holds Yongrong in his hands and takes his time, there will always be a chance in the future.
Just when Yongxuan was thinking about how to deal with Yongbi, the sound of horseshoes and footsteps came from outside, which was also mixed with the shouts of some officers. Obviously, Yongrong was looking forward to the whole morning army. It finally entered the capital.
Seeing that it was the army entering the city, Yong Rong immediately put aside those messy thoughts and looked into the distance with excitement, Yong Xuan couldn't help getting up and coming to the window.
But after observing the soldiers who came first, Yongxuan suddenly said with certainty: "Yongbi should not be in this army anymore."
Yong Rong was taken aback for a moment, then immediately turned her head to look at Yong Xuan and asked, "Oh? Why?"
Yongxuan didn't explain in depth, but just reminded a little: "Take a closer look at the clothes of the soldiers below."
Afterwards, he turned his head and whispered some instructions to the guard next to him. The guard left quickly after taking the order, while he continued to sit back at the table as if nothing had happened. Zai leisurely ate the pastry.
How could Yongrong fail to see that Yongxuan was deliberately trying to whet his appetite, he looked at the officers and soldiers and pondered for a while, but he couldn't figure out why, and felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally moved to Yongxuan's side, and asked flatteringly: "My good brother, just tell Sixth Brother, stop hanging on to me."
Yongxuan pursed her lips and smiled inexplicably, and asked deliberately: "Is that what you really want to know?"
Yong Rong knew that his younger brother was very smart, saw many things more clearly than him, and often helped him, so he didn't care about his brother's identity anymore, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can Tell me, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Since Sixth Brother, you want to know so much, then go and ask him in person." Yongxuan said while pointing to the door, her smiling eyes hinted at a hint of shrewdness.
Looking in the direction Yongxuan pointed, I saw Yongbi pushing the door and entering with a smile on the corner of his mouth, it would be too coincidental to say it was a coincidence, Yongrong's mind didn't turn around for a while, Looking at Yongbi, he asked, "Yongbi, why are you here?"
Yongbi looked at Yongbi meaningfully, and then asked with a smile: "Huh? Didn't you invite me to drink tea?"
Seeing that Yong Rong still looked confused, Yong Xuan stopped teasing him, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "I asked someone to invite Yong Bi here. How about it, Sixth Brother, you How can I thank you?"
As soon as Yong Rong heard the first half of the sentence, his face immediately became overjoyed, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his face immediately turned into a bitter melon look.
Others may not know Yongxuan very well, but he has been with Yongxuan for a long time. Although he can't say how well he understands him, he still knows a little bit. Regardless of his appearance, he always looks harmless to humans and animals. Appearance, once it is really missed by it, even if it is not dead, it will have to peel off the skin.
"This..." Yong Rong couldn't figure out what the hell his eighth brother was up to, so he could only falter and wink at Yong Bi, obviously, he hoped that his good friend would help him out.
Yongbi's thoughts changed slightly, and he became more interested in this still young eighth elder brother and three points more alert, but he still followed Yongrong's words and said: "I brought back a lot of special products from Jingzhou, How about sending it to the palace tomorrow for a few older brothers to try it out?"
"Okay, okay!" Yong Rong was naturally very happy when he heard it. Anyway, he didn't send the things, so why not borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and then he told Yongbi again: "Yes, you promised to give it to me." Don't cheat on my things when the time comes."
"Big man keeps his word, so don't worry." Yongbi smiled slightly, and his mood relaxed a lot. Compared with a shrewd person like Yongxuan, he still prefers to get along with Yongrong.
Yongxuan smiled, and didn't continue the topic just now, as if it was just a casual joke.
Of course he can see that Yongbi is deliberately keeping a distance from him, but many times, many things are often beyond his control, but the future is long, and he doesn't want to push Yongbi too hard, as long as he has a good relationship with Yongrong , he believes that Yongbi's future choices will not disappoint him.
At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded on the street. At this time, the former army that opened the way had passed, followed by the brigade of cavalry, and the officers of all ranks who were going to Beijing to receive rewards were also among them.
Yong Rong had a special liking for cavalry, as soon as he heard the sound of horseshoes, he rushed to the window, looking at the group of well-equipped light cavalry with bright eyes.
Afterwards, Yong Bi also got up and came to Yong Rong's side, and chatted about some things about his time with the army. To put it bluntly, it was to give General Yong Rong some experience in the army.
Seeing this, Yongxuan immediately moved over, and began to concentrate on listening to Yongbi's narration. Although he might not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, he won't be overwhelmed with more skills, and learning more is of course no harm.
In the middle of speaking, Yong Rong's face suddenly turned cold, he frowned and pointed in the direction of the army and asked angrily: "Who is that man? He actually rode with a woman on the same horse. What is the military for?"
Yongbi took a closer look, his expression was also not very good, and he said with a bit of gritted teeth: "That person is Nu Dahai, the general of the Pingkou this time, and that woman is Prince Rui's Gege Xinyue."
"Gege!?" Yong Rong turned her head to look at Yong Bi in surprise, and seeing that he really didn't seem to be lying, she turned around and said with a cold face: "My God, how could this Prince Rui raise such a shameless child? Ge Ge, really lost the face of the Qing Dynasty."
"It should be more than that, Yongbi, what do you think?" Yongxuan is very good at observing words and expressions, and he guessed from Yongbi's already greenish face that Gege should have done more egregious things, otherwise he would never It will change the color of people like Yongbi talking about it.
It’s okay not to mention this matter, but when it was mentioned, Yongbi’s heart burst into anger, and he said angrily: “Ever since Nu Dahai rescued Gege and Baylor, they have been letting them live in the barracks. I persuaded it several times to no avail, and was reprimanded by Nu Dahai with fallacies."
After hearing this, Yongxuan couldn't help but widen her eyes, and looked carefully at Nu Dahai, who was riding with Gege in high spirits at the moment, and couldn't help but murmured: "That Nu Dahai... ...Is he really a great general? How could he do such an inconspicuous thing?"
"This matter must not be left alone!" When Yong Rong heard that his friend was being bullied in such a way, how could he still sit still, smashed the window frame with his fist, gritted his teeth and said: "Yongbi, This time, you must give him a hard copy! Such a disregard for military discipline and law, I think he really doesn't want to do it as a general."
Yong Xuan also nodded in agreement. Although Yong Rong's words were impulsive, they were telling the truth. If this matter is really included in a book, it will definitely make that Nu Dahai overwhelmed. Ama's emphasis on the army is obvious to all officials in the court. At this time, committing a crime is not courting death, what is it?
Yong Bi took a deep breath secretly, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, then patted Yong Rong's back, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Do you think I am the kind of person who will suffer? I just wrote it and handed it up, and I guess the emperor will be able to see it in a few days."
"I always feel that it's too cheap for him just to join him..." Yong Rong curled his lips, seeing that Yongbi didn't intend to do it to the end, so he didn't continue to delve into this matter. In his opinion, this is just a trivial matter, let it go in the past.
However, Yongxuan feels that this matter should not be finished, it is probably just the beginning, especially that Princess, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a lady of everyone, she doesn't have the posture of Ge Ge at all, is there still something in it? Some unknown things are still unknown.
Thinking of this, Yongxuan couldn't help but look sideways at Yongbi, and the eyes of the two met unexpectedly. Although they didn't speak when they saw each other, they could see the emotion in each other's heart from their eyes. Thoughts, and then, the two smiled at the same time.
☆、Placement problem
Outside the palace, Yongxuan and the three of them were chatting in the restaurant; while inside the palace, Long Yintian was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, but when he saw the notebook presented by Yongbi, he couldn't help frowning slightly, His face also darkened a lot.
Originally, in his opinion, going to Jingzhou to pacify the Kou was just a trivial matter, and it was definitely not worth mentioning compared with the great war in the frontier, but who would have thought that such a small war would lead to such There are so many troubles, which he never expected before.
Called Wu Er, who has been in charge of intelligence, and then Long Yintian had a detailed understanding of what happened during the Jingzhou Pingkou. Nu Dahai, the leading general this time, made him even more angry.
Logically speaking, this Nu Dahai can be regarded as a seasoned general. Although his ability is not as good as that of a veteran on the battlefield like Fu Heng, he is still ranked among the top generals. Judging by what he did, how could he not be as good as Yongbi, a newcomer to the battlefield?
Furthermore, Yongbi was personally sent by Long Yintian to Jingzhou as a supervisor. People like Yushi are, to put it bluntly, the eyes and ears of the emperor.
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Nu Dahai didn't give Yongbi face so much. Isn't this indirectly giving him face as the emperor?
What's more, according to the news from the second-hand sources, what Yongbi said is completely reasonable and well-founded. Women are not allowed in the barracks. This is one of the military regulations of the Qing army since its reform.
But this Nu Dahai not only blatantly violated military discipline, but finally scolded Yongbi who came to persuade him, he is really courageous.
On the other hand, this Nu Dahai actually rode with Xinyue Gege without hesitation during the march, and his words and deeds were very intimate, and the two often spent time together without talking, and even lived alone In one room, all kinds of rumors and rumors in the army have been flying all over the sky.
A general who already has a wife and children, and Ge Ge who has just experienced the pain of extermination, these two ruthless people really have a radius of eight taels when they get together. Where are you going?
After listening to Wuer's report on Xinyue and Nu Dahai, Long Yintian had already calmed down the anger in his heart. It is useless to talk about the matter so far, and he actually made the royal family so ashamed, so don't think about these two people It's better.
After thinking about it, Long Yintian asked again: "What did that kid named Keshan do along the way?"
Wuer quickly sorted out the known information in his mind, and said succinctly: "Master, since entering the barracks, little Baylor seldom leaves his big tent except on the road with the army. His family general Mang Gu Tai has been accompanying him all the time. Usually, only Lord Superintendent visits occasionally, so it seems that the relationship between Little Baylor and Xinyue Gege is not very harmonious."
"This Keshan is quite intelligent..." As he said, Long Yintian picked two memorials from the stack at hand and threw them aside.
This was originally the intention to reward Nu Dahai and Yongbi, but now it seems that he doesn't want to reward these two at all.
About an hour later, the little eunuch from the Compassionate Ning Palace reported that Xinyue Gege and Keshan Baylor had arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the Empress Dowager wanted to ask the emperor to discuss how to arrange the siblings.
Originally, Long Yintian didn't intend to go there. After all, the palace is so big, two more people are not a big deal, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to go this way, because he really didn't want that Xinyue Gege to live in the palace. In the palace, if the other elder brothers and Ge Ge are brought into trouble, then the trouble will be serious.
Arriving at the Compassionate Ning Palace, Long Yintian thought it would be the same as before, the room was full of Yingyingyanyan, and it was very lively, but after entering the room, he found that there were only the Queen Mother, Empress and Xinyue siblings in the room The four main characters, of course, the others are the maids and nuns who are waiting on the sidelines.
Everyone saluted the emperor in accordance with the rules, and after the emperor took his seat, the empress dowager spoke with concern first, and pulled up the homely way with a smile: "yesterday, I heard that the emperor approved the papers until late at night. This government affairs Although busy, the dragon body can't help but care about it. Queen, you are too negligent, and you should persuade the emperor more on weekdays."
"Emperor mother, what you teach is that this matter is indeed the fault of my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law must pay attention to it in the future." When the queen heard that the queen mother clearly said that she was wrong, she quickly responded, regardless of whether she was wronged or not. After all, the queen mother made it clear that there was something in her words, but no matter what, she couldn't let her
A few days later, Fu Ling'an was ordered to go north to "suppress bandits", but before he left, he did not disobey Long Yintian's order, and finally had a good heart-to-heart talk with his ama, Fu Heng. To persuade him, but he has made up his mind, even if he bears the eternal infamy, he doesn't care.
Seeing that Fu Ling'an was so persistent, Fu Heng didn't do those unnecessary things anymore, but said to him earnestly when he was seeing off at the city gate before leaving: "Since your heart is firm, I will do it this time." Ama will not force it. In the north, you just give it a go. As for the capital, Ama will find a way to help you."
Fu Heng's words moved Fu Ling'an deeply. As a son of man, not being able to be filial by Ama's side is already a big disobedience. For his safety in the future, his Ama doesn't know how much to worry about.
Thinking of this, Fu Ling'an didn't care that this is a city gate where people come and go, and he didn't care that there were soldiers accompanying him around. He knelt down in front of Fu Heng with his knees bent and kowtowed three times. , After getting up without saying anything, he just got on his horse and rode away towards the north.
Looking at Fu Ling'an's receding figure from a distance, Fu Heng, a veteran of the Yuan battlefield, couldn't help but have red eyes.
With Fuling'an heading north, the Ministry of War, which had been idle for a few days, became busy again. After all, the dispatching of the army involved too many complicated things, and as long as there is a mistake in every aspect, it may cause big problems. , coupled with the particularity of the army and the emperor's attention, so naturally no one dares to neglect in this regard.
A few months later, Nu Dahai's war against the Kou in Jingzhou was coming to an end, and the request for merit was naturally delivered to the capital one step earlier.
Logically speaking, Long Yintian should have been happy when the army won the battle, but when he finished reading the memorial sent by Jingzhou, instead of showing any joy on his face, there was a trace of helplessness on his face.
It is true that Nu Dahai calmed down the bandits, but he actually rescued Prince Duan's son and daughter in the chaos. Although Prince Rui was dead, it was obvious that the result he wanted was not achieved. achieve.
It's all right now, the news that Nu Dahai rescued these two people may have already spread throughout the Jingzhou military camp. At this time, sending someone to kill them will not be worth the loss. The title of Prince Rui may not be cut.
In desperation, Long Yintian had no choice but to order Nu Dahai to return to Beijing immediately, and escort the children of Prince Rui to Beijing together.
Not long after the decree was issued, a eunuch reported that he was seeking an audience with the prince and was waiting for the decree outside the palace.
As soon as Long Yintian heard it, he knew that Hong Zhou was probably here for the matter of Prince Rui, so after thinking about it, he directly ordered to meet Hong Zhou alone in the imperial garden of the back hall.
After leaving the imperial study room, Long Yintian had just walked to the gazebo in the imperial garden and sat down, when he saw Hong Zhou walking quickly under the guidance of a young eunuch from a distance. It is also rare and unusually serious.
Seeing this scene, Long Yintian resolutely rejected his previous guess in his heart, because in his opinion, the matter of Prince Rui was not worthy of Hong Zhou's concern; The things that Hong Zhou had done had come to fruition, thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
After performing the ceremony as usual, after all the eunuchs and maids retreated a hundred steps away, Hongzhou carefully took out a few seemingly ordinary memorials from his arms, and handed them to Long Yintian respectfully. And at this moment, he, who has always been unrestrained, is also very nervous.
The reason is very simple, because Long Yintian is going to move people from Aixinjueluo's family this time. Every time I'm worried, I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll get involved too.
Carefully looking at the memorial in his hand, Long Yintian nodded in satisfaction. Although it is impossible to thoroughly investigate Prince Zhuang with these things, it can cut off his power and party feathers very well, and in recent months Prince Lai Zhuang has been bedridden all the time, and obviously he has a few days to live, so this matter must be done before Prince Zhuang dies, otherwise, if the hidden danger is not eliminated, trouble will surely arise in the future.
On the other hand, Long Yintian is also very satisfied with Liu Yong, who was recommended by Hong Zhou this time. Several cases from more than 20 years ago can be investigated in such detail, and he is shrewd and able to handle affairs, so he was able to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Criminal Justice so quickly. , apart from Hong Zhou playing a certain role, more of it depends on his own ability.
"You did a good job." Long Yintian said with a smile while closing the memorial in his hand, "I will make an order after the court meeting in the day after tomorrow. When you go back, make good preparations. Don't make any mistakes."
After thinking for a while, Long Yintian immediately added: "When you have time, go visit Prince Zhuang and ask him if there is anything else he wants to say to me."
"My brother understands." Hong Zhou responded, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Although Long Yintian said these two sentences in a vague way, he could understand the meaning of them. If he guessed right After he completely took over the positions of the Ministry of Punishment and Zhenghuang Banner Commander, the time for Prince Zhuang's death may have arrived.
However, seeing that Long Yintian was obviously in a good mood at this time, the selfish Hongzhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about the incident in Jingzhou, and the army will return to Beijing soon. I don't know how the Emperor plans to deal with this matter." thing?"
Although Hong Zhou asked about Prince Rui's bereaved son, in fact, he was worried about his son Yongbi, because it was Yongbi who accompanied the army to Jingzhou to carry out the secret decree.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Nu Dahai, who had no eyesight, messed up what was supposed to be a surefire thing. As a result, Yongbi couldn't completely complete the task assigned by the emperor. Will the emperor blame him? It's still two words when I come down.
It was also because of this that Hong Zhou thought that he, the fourth elder brother of the emperor, was in a good mood today, so he quickly took the opportunity to find out.
Of course, Long Yintian knew the importance of Yongbi in Hongzhou's heart, and it was precisely because there was no great danger in going to Jingzhou to fight against the invaders this time, and he could earn military merits, so he let Yongbi, who had just turned 17, join the army Those who went there would take this opportunity to pave the way for him to serve in the Ministry of War.
Yongbi is a good seedling, and Long Yintian also has the intention of cultivating him. After all, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes when leading the army for the first time, and it will be fine to sharpen it in the future.
But this is not a big deal after all. Although Long Yintian was a little dissatisfied in his heart, it was fine in the past, so he took a meaningful look at Hong Zhou and said, "Since Prince Rui has left a son, the court should treat him kindly. As for Yong Bi, after he returns to Beijing, let him go to the Ministry of War to report on his work. After these few things are over, I will give you two months of leave so that you can take a good rest."
As soon as Hongzhou heard it, he immediately understood what he meant as the fourth elder brother of the emperor, and when he was overjoyed, he hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "My brother, I thank the emperor for his kindness."
God knows how much he misses his idle and quiet days in his heart. Ever since he, the fourth brother of the emperor, dragged him onto a pirate ship, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. He has lost weight several times. He looks like the absurd prince he used to be.
Although Long Yintian knew what was in Hong Zhou's heart, but he didn't intend to expose it. After talking about homework, he asked Hong Zhou to retreat, because he could also see that his younger brother was exhausted after running around for days. I've been haggard a lot, and the two-month vacation should be considered a small reward for Hong Zhou.
☆, out of the palace to meet the army
With the news of the return of the Pingkou army to Beijing, almost all men, women and children in the capital knew the news that the imperial court had won another battle. These things seemed to have nothing to do with the common people, but frequent successes naturally mean that the country is rich and the people are strong. , the people's livelihood is safe and peaceful, and the common people are more or less happy in their hearts.
Moreover, the triumphant return of the army is usually very lively, and ordinary people who love to join in the fun will naturally not miss this opportunity, maybe they can see a few big people who usually don't want to see.
The people in the palace naturally knew the news a long time ago. Rewards to the three armies, banquets for ministers, etc. must be prepared in advance, and after the army arrives in Beijing, they will temporarily station in the Green Camp ten miles outside the city and accept reorganization. The household department has also been busy for several days.
Throughout the past few years, the Qing Dynasty has been constantly fighting big and small battles, even worse than that of Lord Kangxi, so many civil servants think that our emperor is too belligerent, and the treasury can't afford it in the long run. Naturally, there were more and more remonstrance notes.
Looking at the military generals in the court, not only did none of them object to the emperor's superficial belligerence, but they praised the emperor for his style of Qin and Wu, and they also actively challenged the frontier wars.
Sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study, Long Yintian looked at the two memorials with diametrically opposite meanings at hand, and couldn't help smiling slightly. Leaving aside the officials, at least the generals in the court were basically on his side. Yes, only a few disobedient ones have already been replaced by him. With such a result, it shows that his efforts in the past few years have been very effective.
As for the worries of those civil servants, it is not unreasonable. Even Long Yintian himself knows this very well. He thinks he is not an emperor who is good at keeping his career. On the contrary, what he is best at is expanding the territory. Even if it is a war, if the national treasury is not tight right now, he would have already personally conquered it.
'Another 20 years should be enough. "Long Yintian thought to himself, it takes 20 years to train a successor, although the time is a bit tight, but it is enough, if he is allowed to be the emperor for too long, maybe the whole country will really die in the future." To become a military-controlled country would be a catastrophe for the Qing Dynasty.
Fortunately, the lifespan of human beings is only so long, and such a dangerous situation should not appear in four or fifty years. By then, he may have been buried in the ground for peace.
"My son pays respects to Huang Ama."
Long Yintian's thoughts were interrupted by two familiar voices in unison. He looked up, and it turned out that it was Yong Rong and Yong Xuan who had just finished their morning class. Is there something urgent?
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, Long Yintian put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Get up. Why are you two coming to the Imperial Study Room at this time?"
Just when Yong Xuan was thinking about how to speak, the impatient Yong Rong stepped forward and said: "Huang Ama, I want to go out of the palace with my eighth brother."
Yongxuan secretly glanced at Yongrong a little helplessly, and then added: "Today is the Pingkou army returning to Beijing, so Erchen and Sixth Brother want to go out of the palace together to see the army's demeanor."
Long Yintian first looked at Yong Rong who was full of anticipation, then turned his gaze to Yong Xuan, and looked him up and down, because Yong Rong had determined to be a general since he was a child, and he yearned for the army very much, so he would have such a request It's not surprising at all, but what Yongxuan did is a bit intriguing.
After all, elder brother is different from Gege, it is not difficult to leave the palace, that is, Yongrong and Yongxuan are still young, so they need to ask for instructions before leaving the palace, and those adult elder brothers are issued with special waist cards, It is free to come and go on weekdays.
Although he couldn't see Yongxuan's intentions, Long Yintian readily agreed to their request, but told them to return to the palace on time.
Yong Rong was naturally overjoyed, and after thanking him, he dragged Yong Xuan away in a hurry, it can be seen that this period of time really suffocated him, and he felt uncomfortable all day if he didn't have fun.
After the two little guys left, Long Yintian immediately ordered two people from the Wuer faction to follow them secretly, so as to be prepared, and then turned his attention to the memorial in front of him, and concentrated on handling government affairs.
On the other side, Yong Xuan was dragged by Yong Rong to trot all the way, and he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, but his physical strength was far inferior to that of Yong Rong, who was three years older than him, and he was out of breath after a while Hush.
"Sixth brother, stop...stop for a while, I can't run anymore." Yongxuan desperately pulled Yongrong's arm, which made the wild little horse stop in its tracks, "Huh... Huh...it doesn't take a moment for the army to enter the city, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Cough..." Yong Rong's face was slightly red when asked, and after hesitating for a while, he murmured: "I want to see what gifts I can get soon..."
"Gift?" Yongxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly guessed the hidden meaning behind Yongrong's words, but his face showed a good brother, pouted Said: "Since you are in such a hurry, Brother Six, let's go quickly, just don't let me run with you anymore, I can't run anymore."
Yong Rong patted Yong Xuan's shoulder with a smile, and said while walking: "Eighth brother, your body is really too weak, you need to work hard, or you will be reprimanded by Huang Ama sooner or later."
"What the sixth brother taught me is that I must remember my younger brother." Although Yongxuan replied half-jokingly, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because he always had a sense of arrogance in his heart, and he didn't want to be punished by him. Compared with these brothers, part of the reason for his deliberately showing his edge before was also part of the reason.
However, he knew that Yong Rong was a straightforward person, and these words were words of concern from his heart, without any utilitarianism in them, so although he was upset, he didn't really take it to heart. For his older brothers, Yong Rong is relatively easy to control. As long as he shows kindness at the right time and gives a little help at critical times, the rewards he will get are quite generous.
Leaving the palace in a carriage, Yong Rong was very excited along the way, raising the curtains from time to time to look left and right, after all he is an elder brother, even if he can go out of the palace on weekdays, he can only come out once a month or two, so Naturally very happy.
In contrast, Yongxuan seemed much calmer. He just sat there and chatted with Yongrong, looking thoughtful, but in fact his mood was completely different. I don't know where to fly.
Gradually away from the palace and into the bustling neighborhood, the people around have become a lot more noisy. Yongxuan didn't seem to like this environment, she pursed her lower lips lightly and frowned slightly, and Piaoyuan's thoughts also turned. Back in reality, his eyes were once again as clear as before.
After traveling for half an hour, the carriage finally stopped in front of a restaurant. This restaurant is located in a prime location in the downtown area. It is not difficult to guess just by looking at the luxurious decoration at the door. Affordable, and people who come and go here can see that it is either rich or expensive.
After getting off the carriage, Yong Rong and Yong Xuan walked into the restaurant with ease, and just had a face-to-face with the boss who came to greet him in person, and then walked straight to the special private room upstairs, it can be seen that the two of them are already Been a regular here.
The boss is also a discerning person. Seeing that the two masters did not speak, and everything was being done by the accompanying guards, he knew that the other party was unwilling to make a statement, so he naturally didn't dare to do anything more, just ordered Xiao The second is to serve attentively, and then turn around and continue to greet other guests.
After the shop waiter served snacks and tea and left, Yong Rong immediately got up and went to the window, looking at the street scene and asked, "Eighth brother, you said it's almost noon, why is there no sign of this army?"
"Sixth brother, you are too impatient..." Yongxuan sat down at the table leisurely, and after eating a small piece of pea yellow, he continued unhurriedly: "Actually, the army should have arrived a few days ago. In the suburbs of Beijing, some soldiers and horses will be sent to Beijing to receive rewards after rest, this is no different than going to Beijing, so naturally we can't come here in a hurry."
Yong Rong also knows about the deployment and arrangement of the army, but he is such a quick-tempered person, so he couldn't help complaining: "Of course I know this, but their speed is too slow. If I come to lead the army , I’m afraid it’s already here.”
Yongxuan, on the other hand, took Yongrong's words very seriously, and added some embellishments: "If the sixth brother leads the army alone, it will definitely become the fastest 'God March' in the Qing Dynasty in the future."
"God's march...", this unintentional sentence caused rippling in Yongrong's heart, and he slowly retracted his gaze from the street, and the inspiration in his mind burst out instantly, "There are clouds in the art of war" "Soldiers are precious and fast", if you can really lead an army alone to come and go like a shadow, and then cooperate with tactics and tactics, maybe a small army can determine the outcome of a big battle; and if you can really travel thousands of miles a day, then The number of troops should not be too large, [-] people is the limit, otherwise it will not be conducive to dispatching, but will affect their mobility...'
Seeing that Yong Rong suddenly lowered her head and remained silent, looking like she was in deep thought, although Yong Xuan was puzzled, she wisely did not disturb her, and after taking a sip of her tea, she began to plan her own purpose.
☆, see the new moon for the first time
The reason why Yongxuan and Yongrong got so close is entirely the result of his deliberate friendship. Looking at these elder brothers now, he thinks that if they handle it properly, Yongrong will definitely become a great help to him in the future. The sooner the emotional foundation is laid, the better.
In Yongxuan's view, Yongzhang's character is not only too gentle, but also too simple. Although such a person will not become his resistance in the future, it will never bring him any great help, so there is no It is necessary to deliberately win over, as long as the face is decent.
Although Yongxuan and Yongxuan were born of the same mother, Yongxuan still has not been able to thoroughly understand the true thoughts in his fourth brother's heart; moreover, Yongxuan's city is very deep, and he is especially well versed in the way of advancing and retreating to protect himself. Xuan didn't dare to act rashly without being fully sure. After all, he didn't have any real power yet, so if he was a little careless, his previous efforts might be wasted.
As for Yongqi, let alone, if Yongxuan couldn't see such an obvious hostility, she wouldn't have to hang out in the palace.
On the other hand, Yongxuan will deliberately win over Yongrong because he is interested in Yongbi's support for Yongrong, and the person behind Yongbi is naturally He Prince Hongzhou, and the hidden things in it are naturally different. It speaks for itself.
That's why Yong Rong, a guy who doesn't know anything about court affairs, treats Yong Bi as only a good friend, and Yong Bi's choice of sixth elder brother Yong Rong, I'm afraid it is also foresight.
Although Yongxuan is not very sure about drawing Yongbi over, as long as he holds Yongrong in his hands and takes his time, there will always be a chance in the future.
Just when Yongxuan was thinking about how to deal with Yongbi, the sound of horseshoes and footsteps came from outside, which was also mixed with the shouts of some officers. Obviously, Yongrong was looking forward to the whole morning army. It finally entered the capital.
Seeing that it was the army entering the city, Yong Rong immediately put aside those messy thoughts and looked into the distance with excitement, Yong Xuan couldn't help getting up and coming to the window.
But after observing the soldiers who came first, Yongxuan suddenly said with certainty: "Yongbi should not be in this army anymore."
Yong Rong was taken aback for a moment, then immediately turned her head to look at Yong Xuan and asked, "Oh? Why?"
Yongxuan didn't explain in depth, but just reminded a little: "Take a closer look at the clothes of the soldiers below."
Afterwards, he turned his head and whispered some instructions to the guard next to him. The guard left quickly after taking the order, while he continued to sit back at the table as if nothing had happened. Zai leisurely ate the pastry.
How could Yongrong fail to see that Yongxuan was deliberately trying to whet his appetite, he looked at the officers and soldiers and pondered for a while, but he couldn't figure out why, and felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally moved to Yongxuan's side, and asked flatteringly: "My good brother, just tell Sixth Brother, stop hanging on to me."
Yongxuan pursed her lips and smiled inexplicably, and asked deliberately: "Is that what you really want to know?"
Yong Rong knew that his younger brother was very smart, saw many things more clearly than him, and often helped him, so he didn't care about his brother's identity anymore, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can Tell me, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Since Sixth Brother, you want to know so much, then go and ask him in person." Yongxuan said while pointing to the door, her smiling eyes hinted at a hint of shrewdness.
Looking in the direction Yongxuan pointed, I saw Yongbi pushing the door and entering with a smile on the corner of his mouth, it would be too coincidental to say it was a coincidence, Yongrong's mind didn't turn around for a while, Looking at Yongbi, he asked, "Yongbi, why are you here?"
Yongbi looked at Yongbi meaningfully, and then asked with a smile: "Huh? Didn't you invite me to drink tea?"
Seeing that Yong Rong still looked confused, Yong Xuan stopped teasing him, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "I asked someone to invite Yong Bi here. How about it, Sixth Brother, you How can I thank you?"
As soon as Yong Rong heard the first half of the sentence, his face immediately became overjoyed, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his face immediately turned into a bitter melon look.
Others may not know Yongxuan very well, but he has been with Yongxuan for a long time. Although he can't say how well he understands him, he still knows a little bit. Regardless of his appearance, he always looks harmless to humans and animals. Appearance, once it is really missed by it, even if it is not dead, it will have to peel off the skin.
"This..." Yong Rong couldn't figure out what the hell his eighth brother was up to, so he could only falter and wink at Yong Bi, obviously, he hoped that his good friend would help him out.
Yongbi's thoughts changed slightly, and he became more interested in this still young eighth elder brother and three points more alert, but he still followed Yongrong's words and said: "I brought back a lot of special products from Jingzhou, How about sending it to the palace tomorrow for a few older brothers to try it out?"
"Okay, okay!" Yong Rong was naturally very happy when he heard it. Anyway, he didn't send the things, so why not borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and then he told Yongbi again: "Yes, you promised to give it to me." Don't cheat on my things when the time comes."
"Big man keeps his word, so don't worry." Yongbi smiled slightly, and his mood relaxed a lot. Compared with a shrewd person like Yongxuan, he still prefers to get along with Yongrong.
Yongxuan smiled, and didn't continue the topic just now, as if it was just a casual joke.
Of course he can see that Yongbi is deliberately keeping a distance from him, but many times, many things are often beyond his control, but the future is long, and he doesn't want to push Yongbi too hard, as long as he has a good relationship with Yongrong , he believes that Yongbi's future choices will not disappoint him.
At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded on the street. At this time, the former army that opened the way had passed, followed by the brigade of cavalry, and the officers of all ranks who were going to Beijing to receive rewards were also among them.
Yong Rong had a special liking for cavalry, as soon as he heard the sound of horseshoes, he rushed to the window, looking at the group of well-equipped light cavalry with bright eyes.
Afterwards, Yong Bi also got up and came to Yong Rong's side, and chatted about some things about his time with the army. To put it bluntly, it was to give General Yong Rong some experience in the army.
Seeing this, Yongxuan immediately moved over, and began to concentrate on listening to Yongbi's narration. Although he might not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, he won't be overwhelmed with more skills, and learning more is of course no harm.
In the middle of speaking, Yong Rong's face suddenly turned cold, he frowned and pointed in the direction of the army and asked angrily: "Who is that man? He actually rode with a woman on the same horse. What is the military for?"
Yongbi took a closer look, his expression was also not very good, and he said with a bit of gritted teeth: "That person is Nu Dahai, the general of the Pingkou this time, and that woman is Prince Rui's Gege Xinyue."
"Gege!?" Yong Rong turned her head to look at Yong Bi in surprise, and seeing that he really didn't seem to be lying, she turned around and said with a cold face: "My God, how could this Prince Rui raise such a shameless child? Ge Ge, really lost the face of the Qing Dynasty."
"It should be more than that, Yongbi, what do you think?" Yongxuan is very good at observing words and expressions, and he guessed from Yongbi's already greenish face that Gege should have done more egregious things, otherwise he would never It will change the color of people like Yongbi talking about it.
It’s okay not to mention this matter, but when it was mentioned, Yongbi’s heart burst into anger, and he said angrily: “Ever since Nu Dahai rescued Gege and Baylor, they have been letting them live in the barracks. I persuaded it several times to no avail, and was reprimanded by Nu Dahai with fallacies."
After hearing this, Yongxuan couldn't help but widen her eyes, and looked carefully at Nu Dahai, who was riding with Gege in high spirits at the moment, and couldn't help but murmured: "That Nu Dahai... ...Is he really a great general? How could he do such an inconspicuous thing?"
"This matter must not be left alone!" When Yong Rong heard that his friend was being bullied in such a way, how could he still sit still, smashed the window frame with his fist, gritted his teeth and said: "Yongbi, This time, you must give him a hard copy! Such a disregard for military discipline and law, I think he really doesn't want to do it as a general."
Yong Xuan also nodded in agreement. Although Yong Rong's words were impulsive, they were telling the truth. If this matter is really included in a book, it will definitely make that Nu Dahai overwhelmed. Ama's emphasis on the army is obvious to all officials in the court. At this time, committing a crime is not courting death, what is it?
Yong Bi took a deep breath secretly, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, then patted Yong Rong's back, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Do you think I am the kind of person who will suffer? I just wrote it and handed it up, and I guess the emperor will be able to see it in a few days."
"I always feel that it's too cheap for him just to join him..." Yong Rong curled his lips, seeing that Yongbi didn't intend to do it to the end, so he didn't continue to delve into this matter. In his opinion, this is just a trivial matter, let it go in the past.
However, Yongxuan feels that this matter should not be finished, it is probably just the beginning, especially that Princess, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a lady of everyone, she doesn't have the posture of Ge Ge at all, is there still something in it? Some unknown things are still unknown.
Thinking of this, Yongxuan couldn't help but look sideways at Yongbi, and the eyes of the two met unexpectedly. Although they didn't speak when they saw each other, they could see the emotion in each other's heart from their eyes. Thoughts, and then, the two smiled at the same time.
☆、Placement problem
Outside the palace, Yongxuan and the three of them were chatting in the restaurant; while inside the palace, Long Yintian was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, but when he saw the notebook presented by Yongbi, he couldn't help frowning slightly, His face also darkened a lot.
Originally, in his opinion, going to Jingzhou to pacify the Kou was just a trivial matter, and it was definitely not worth mentioning compared with the great war in the frontier, but who would have thought that such a small war would lead to such There are so many troubles, which he never expected before.
Called Wu Er, who has been in charge of intelligence, and then Long Yintian had a detailed understanding of what happened during the Jingzhou Pingkou. Nu Dahai, the leading general this time, made him even more angry.
Logically speaking, this Nu Dahai can be regarded as a seasoned general. Although his ability is not as good as that of a veteran on the battlefield like Fu Heng, he is still ranked among the top generals. Judging by what he did, how could he not be as good as Yongbi, a newcomer to the battlefield?
Furthermore, Yongbi was personally sent by Long Yintian to Jingzhou as a supervisor. People like Yushi are, to put it bluntly, the eyes and ears of the emperor.
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Nu Dahai didn't give Yongbi face so much. Isn't this indirectly giving him face as the emperor?
What's more, according to the news from the second-hand sources, what Yongbi said is completely reasonable and well-founded. Women are not allowed in the barracks. This is one of the military regulations of the Qing army since its reform.
But this Nu Dahai not only blatantly violated military discipline, but finally scolded Yongbi who came to persuade him, he is really courageous.
On the other hand, this Nu Dahai actually rode with Xinyue Gege without hesitation during the march, and his words and deeds were very intimate, and the two often spent time together without talking, and even lived alone In one room, all kinds of rumors and rumors in the army have been flying all over the sky.
A general who already has a wife and children, and Ge Ge who has just experienced the pain of extermination, these two ruthless people really have a radius of eight taels when they get together. Where are you going?
After listening to Wuer's report on Xinyue and Nu Dahai, Long Yintian had already calmed down the anger in his heart. It is useless to talk about the matter so far, and he actually made the royal family so ashamed, so don't think about these two people It's better.
After thinking about it, Long Yintian asked again: "What did that kid named Keshan do along the way?"
Wuer quickly sorted out the known information in his mind, and said succinctly: "Master, since entering the barracks, little Baylor seldom leaves his big tent except on the road with the army. His family general Mang Gu Tai has been accompanying him all the time. Usually, only Lord Superintendent visits occasionally, so it seems that the relationship between Little Baylor and Xinyue Gege is not very harmonious."
"This Keshan is quite intelligent..." As he said, Long Yintian picked two memorials from the stack at hand and threw them aside.
This was originally the intention to reward Nu Dahai and Yongbi, but now it seems that he doesn't want to reward these two at all.
About an hour later, the little eunuch from the Compassionate Ning Palace reported that Xinyue Gege and Keshan Baylor had arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the Empress Dowager wanted to ask the emperor to discuss how to arrange the siblings.
Originally, Long Yintian didn't intend to go there. After all, the palace is so big, two more people are not a big deal, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to go this way, because he really didn't want that Xinyue Gege to live in the palace.
