Reborn Rongruo

It was July in the tenth year of Kangxi, and the heat in the capital was getting stronger day by day.However, due to the winter snowstorm in various parts of Mongolia, a large number of cattle and sheep died. Without cattle and sheep, ordinary herdsmen have no guarantee of living. They have no items that can be traded with the Han people at the border. The basic necessities of life on weekdays, such as salt, Oil, rice, flour, cloth, etc. are not self-sufficient, so that the life of the herdsmen in the first half of the year is very difficult.

Just like this, border crossings have been frequently disturbed, and wars of all sizes have never stopped in the past six months.Led by the Zhungeer Ministry, they sent troops to the border many times to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of crimes.Although the generals guarding the border also resisted tenaciously, they only stopped at resistance to reduce damage.There is no way to cure it.Just because the Mongols are good at riding and shooting, and their kung fu on horseback is very powerful. In addition, they use robbing food and daily necessities as their motivation for sending troops. Holding a piece of loach, slipping without walking, let them run without a trace if they are not careful.

Therefore, in the past six months, the people in northern Xinjiang could be said to have run away one after another after hearing about the Mongolian people, and the people were panic-stricken.

Southeast San Francisco is also worrying.Everyone in Yungui knows Wu Sangui's wolf ambition.Last month Jingnan King Geng Jimao died of illness, and his son Geng Jingzhong inherited the title and became the lord of Fujian.Coupled with the fact that Venus appeared at daytime a while ago, folk rumors spread everywhere, saying that there might be a mutiny.

In fact, there is no need for folk rumors. Since the day when Venus appeared at daytime, the Manchu and Han ministers of the Qintianjian have filled Kangxi's imperial case with an untold number of memorandum of ominous metaphors.Emperor Kangxi naturally knew that this was a group of courtiers who usually had no chance to express their sincerity, so he let them do so and did not reprimand or stop them.But it is one thing not to reprimand and not to stop him. If he is asked to use this to send troops or do something on the surface, the current court situation does not allow it.

At this moment when the north and the south are uneasy, Cheng De's letter seems so rare and precious.In the letter, Chengde explained in detail how they were delayed in the Wahidai Hills and how they signed an agreement with Ozio Khan. He also said that Ozio sent ten envoys to return to the Qing Dynasty. In the letter, he asked Kangxi how to deal with it.

The meaning here is self-evident, Emperor Kangxi thought about it, and ordered Chengde to welcome him back safely.Emperor Kangxi had his own considerations. Before Jilong sent troops to attack Zhungeer, these envoys were the best reassurance pills he could give Jilong. He took them back to the capital so that they could have children. What happened in Beijing They are bound to send a message to the Khan who instigates the dragon, so it is easier to control what they want them to know and what they don't want them to know.

When Cheng De received Xuan Ye's order, he understood Xuan Ye's meaning after a little thought.So, without further delay, Starry Night finally arrived in Beijing in mid-August.

As Chengde's return date approached, Xuan Ye's heart became more and more restless. Apart from looking forward to seeing Chengde sooner, he also had an indescribable guilt.Ma Jiashi was diagnosed with a happy pulse three months ago, and now she is six months pregnant again.Counting the days is exactly the period before the two reconciled at the beginning of the year.Thinking about it now, during the more than two years since Cheng De left Beijing, Xuan Ye himself felt like a walking dead every day, without emotion, like a reproductive machine, indifferently beckoning to a woman without feelings How ironic it is to sow seeds on one's body and fulfill the responsibility of being an emperor to spread branches and leaves for the royal family!

Now everything is under Xuanye's control, the only uncertain thing is whether Chengde will be sad when he hears that Ma Jiashi is pregnant, and suppress himself not to tell him.Xuan Ye will never forget the scene when Cheng De was jealous of an actor a few years ago.Every time Xuanye thinks of this, Xuan Ye feels unspeakable guilt about the marriage arranged for Chengde later, but this kind of guilt can't last long, and he is soon suppressed by him again, because he knows better than anyone else. How deep is his obsession with and possession of Chengde, he cannot allow it, and he will never give anyone a chance to take Chengde away from him, not even the slightest bit of attention!He would be mad with jealousy, he knew it!

On August [-]th, Cheng De, Lin Zhengang and others went out to instigate Long to return to Beijing.A group of people entered the capital very low-key, and the accompanying Imperial Forest Army was led by Xin Yu to the Nanyuan paddock outside the city, and did not enter the capital together.And the ten envoys who instigated the dragon were brought back to Lifan Academy directly by Lin Zhengang, without alarming others.It was Gong Angci, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Cheng De who returned to the palace together. Emperor Kangxi received them in Qianqing Palace. After the routine report, Emperor Kangxi ordered Gong Angci to go back first, leaving Chengde alone.

Gong Angci withdrew from the main hall, and Emperor Kangxi gave Li Dequan a wink. Li Dequan was ordered to leave with all the attendants, and closed the door of the main hall.

Xuanye couldn't wait any longer, he didn't wait for the gate to be closed, he couldn't wait to get up from the dragon chair and ran down the steps, he hugged the longing person in front of him, and hugged him tightly, He choked out a sob, then hurriedly pushed the person away a little bit, and watched carefully, as if he was afraid that he might get hurt somewhere.

Cheng De was equally excited, and also looked at Xuan Ye carefully, touched his face lightly with his hand and said with pity: "I haven't seen you in half a year, you have lost a lot of weight!"

Xuanye pressed Chengde's hand with one hand, and quickly clasped the back of Chengde's neck with the other hand, pressing the person towards him with force, and then kissed him recklessly.Lips and tongues intersected, and the breath of the two blended together, inseparable.Xuanye hugged Chengde tightly, wishing to rub him to the bone, and staggered to bring him up the steps.Cheng De let him go, and also hugged him tightly, stroking the back of his neck and back, the chests of the two bumped into each other, tightly fitting, as if there was no gap between them.

The kiss continued, and at some point, the two had already arrived at the dragon chair, Xuan Ye seemed to have planned it long ago, and pushed him down before Chengde could react.Chengde's back was pierced, he frowned slightly, and wanted to push Xuan Ye away, but found that the man's hand had already got under his clothes honestly and was stroking his chest inch by inch.

The situation is already like this, and Cheng De doesn't know what Xuan Ye wants to do.Thinking that after all, he was in the Qianqing Palace, which was really against the law, Cheng De began to refuse.He wanted to speak, but Xuan Ye occupied his lips and tongue, taking great pleasure in attacking the city in his mouth, and didn't give him a chance to breathe, until the kiss made him dizzy, and the vital point that had already raised his head was caught by Xuan Ye Ye grabbed it, and Xuan Ye seemed to be satisfied and moved the position below.

The trousers were torn off and the buttons of the jacket were bitten off one by one by Xuan Ye. Cheng De's chest, which was much whiter than the neck and cheeks, was exposed little by little in front of Xuan Ye.Xuanye looked at Chengde's skin which had obvious color difference, and his heart ached.All this shows that Chengde has endured all kinds of hardships and obstacles for him during this mission, not only for the country, but also for him.

Xuan Ye suddenly let out a low growl, and crazily kissed Chengde's neck, Chengde slapped him a little bit unbearably, but he didn't care, and changed the kiss into a bite, and gnawed on Chengde's collarbone.

"Don't! There will be marks!"

Cheng De just said a word, and suddenly his breathing became heavy, because Xuan Ye suddenly shook his hand, which was so fast that Cheng De took a deep breath and almost couldn't help it.

"You—" Cheng De bit his lip, his body is already sensitive, how could he withstand Xuan Ye's crazy teasing, he gasped for a while before saying again: "Here, here is not allowed! Don't—ah ……ha……"

The ending sound broke his lips, and Chengde even arched his body uncontrollably.The sensitive body that hadn't had any love for half a year, under Xuan Ye's service, unexpectedly burst out like that, and leaked into Xuan Ye's hands.

Chengde was lying on the dragon chair in a daze, Xuan Ye quickly took off his pants, pulled up Chengde's legs and wrapped them around his waist, and stuck his fingers behind Chengde's back with the white liquid just now.

As Xuan Ye bent down, the swollen stick poked Chengde's thigh. The scorching temperature not only burned Chengde's cheeks red, but also made his whole body a layer of smudged pink. In Xuan Ye's eyes, this is simply the most beautiful in the world.

After all, Xuanye still felt sorry for Chengde, even though he endured a lot of hard work, he forced himself to help Chengde expand, and rushed in impatiently.

Afterwards, the hall finally remembered the sound of violent collisions, as well as the broken and heavy gasps and groans that could no longer be suppressed.

This blushing and heartbeating sound didn't gradually calm down until sunset.Cheng De was extremely exhausted, even the strength to speak was squeezed out by Xuan Ye, he was lying on the back of the dragon chair, his legs were trembling, and he couldn't stand still.Xuanye withdrew from his body, and the thing was still standing upright. He supported Chengde's shoulder, and looked down at his children and grandchildren scrambling to come out from behind Chengde, along the path of Chengde. De's thighs slid all the way down, Xuan Ye felt indescribably satisfied and excited, he rolled over Chengde, hugged him and kissed his cheek and lips, stuck his long tongue in, and stirred wantonly inside.

Chengde pushed him and hit him "um, um", but he was indifferent, and it took a long time before he let go of Chengde and hugged him in his arms.

Cheng De couldn't stand anymore, so he could only hug Xuan Ye's neck and shoulders tightly, and hugged him tightly.He panted while shaking his head: "No, don't come again..."

Seeing that Chengde was about to fall asleep, Xuan Ye hurriedly hugged him and sat down on the dragon chair. While tidying up the clothes for the two of them, he coaxed softly: "I won't bother you anymore today, you have a good rest, a while I'll carry you to sleep in the inner room!"

After receiving the guarantee, Chengde finally felt relieved, and he actually fell asleep when he tilted his head.

Xuanye stroked Chengde's cheek affectionately for a long time before carrying him into the inner room.After tidying up his clothes, he went back to the front hall and told Li Dequan to prepare things for a bath.

Li De is the most capable old man by the emperor's side. From the moment the emperor left Mr. Nalan alone, he has prepared the items for bathing early, but he didn't expect that the emperor would take so long to call the bath soup. It's been an afternoon, a full two and a half hours.During these two and a half hours, he not only ordered people to replace several barrels of cold hot water, but also blocked several waves of ministers who wanted to see him for the emperor.

At this moment, taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, he hurriedly reported to the emperor one by one the ministers who came in the afternoon. When it came to Lin Zhengang and Mingzhu asking for an audience one after another, the emperor's expression was slightly moved.Li Dequan waited for the order, and Xuan Ye said, "Call Cao Yin and tell him to tell Lin Zhengang that I will summon him in the morning. As for Mingzhu, you can go to his house in person. Just say that I still have something to do for me, and let him not worry about it, and I will talk about it tomorrow morning."

Li Dequan took the order and went out, thinking that he was not going to let Mr. Nalan go easily.I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse that Mr. Nalan is so caring, but now that Mr. Nalan has fame and fame, it is a pity compared to when he was a child. So it can easily happen again.

There are many things in the palace that cannot be hidden.Chengde lived in Qianqing Palace until the third day, and the Empress Dowager invited the emperor to the Compassionate Palace for tea.

As soon as Xuan Ye stepped into the gate, before entering the hall, he heard the voices of a group of Yingying and Yanyan in the room. He knew that the emperor's grandmother probably knew about Chengde's current residence in Qianqing Palace, and he probably called himself here today to remind him. Don't overlook these women in the harem.

Xuan Ye frowned unhappily, his face sank and then quickly calmed down. When he entered the hall, the women in the hall immediately silenced and saluted him. hello.

The Empress Dowager was obviously in a good mood, smiled and pulled him to sit beside her, pointed at Nalan and said with a smile: "Does the Emperor know what the Ai family called you here today?"

"Grandson doesn't know, is it possible that the imperial grandmother wants to reward grandson with something good?" Xuan Ye also joked with the Empress Dowager with a smile while holding the teacup.

"You, how old are you, why do you still talk about such a child?" The empress dowager glanced at the emperor with a smile, and then said: "You are too busy with state affairs and careless, now Huizhi You have a body of more than three months, and you don't know how to care about it, really—let me tell you what is good about you?!"

Xuan Ye sneered in his heart, and glanced at the quiet woman sitting on the lower right, more than three months?Let's say less, it should be more than four months.More than five months ago, he received a secret report that Cheng Qing, the third son of the emperor, was gone. At that time, he was still in the Nanyuan Palace, and he hurried back because he felt that the whole thing was strange.

Chengqing is the seed he left when he was in Tuanhe Palace, he knows this very well.Originally, Nalashi was Chengde's aunt, and he was worried that Chengde would feel uncomfortable and would never accept her as his concubine, but that time he took the medicine and mistakenly identified Nalashi as Chengde's, and took possession of her. her body.At that time, Chengde left him again, and the relationship between the two was complicated, because she was Chengde's aunt. He thought that if he was not responsible for this woman, if Chengde found out, Chengde might not forgive him even more, so Only then did he bring the woman back to the palace.If not, he would have wanted to kill her then.But she never expected that Nala's family would become pregnant and give birth to Chengqing after that time.

Xuan Ye can't deny that he likes Cheng Qing, because the child's eyebrows and eyes are three points similar to Cheng De, so he often goes to see Cheng Qing at Nala's place, because every time he looks at this child who is very similar to Cheng De Xuanye's heart can always calm down quickly, and the pain caused by Chengde's absence seems to be no longer so painful.At first, Nala was overjoyed because of his frequent visits, but then the woman probably discovered her thoughts, and gradually calmed down.Of course, Xuan Ye doesn't care what she thinks in her heart, but Xuan Ye never thought that this child Cheng Qing would just go there in his sleep.

After several investigations, Cheng Qing died of suffocation.The suffocation of a good child to death can only mean that someone did it on purpose. So, who is this person?Xuanye actually knew it well, so he just dealt with a large number of servants who took care of Chengqing, but he didn't touch this woman.

But this woman really didn't know how to restrain herself. On the day of Chengqing's funeral, she deliberately wept at Duixiu Mountain in the Imperial Garden, just because she knew that she would pass there. She was carrying the same purse as the day in Tuanhe , so that he once again fell into her ecstasy trick and recognized her as Chengde.

This time Xuanye would not keep her no matter what, and wanted to get rid of this woman even if Chengde would hate him, but this woman actually called Mingzhu and told her what she had guessed about her relationship with Chengde. In desperation, Mingzhu had no choice but to find herself to intercede for her. Although Mingzhu didn't mention Chengde, but at that time Chengde was out to instigate the dragon. She was so dangerous that her heart softened, so she was put in the cold palace, but she didn't expect that she was pregnant again, and she was able to invite the empress dowager to speak for her.

Xuanye sneered in his heart, glanced at Nala family indifferently, and said to the empress dowager: "Since this is the case, I will have a good life and general care." He also said: "If the emperor's grandmother has nothing to do, the grandson will leave and go to court. There are still things to deal with.”

"Hey, you, no matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to your body. You can leave court affairs to the ministers. This body is your own!"

"Grandson made a note. Grandmother and grandson will come to see you at another time, but grandson will leave first."

"Oh, let's go, let's go, my old lady won't delay you!" The Empress Dowager had already said what she should and could say, and it was not good to keep the emperor, so she shook her head and let it go.

When Xuan Ye returned to Qianqing Palace, his complexion was not very good. Chengde had been benevolent for the past few days and nights, and now he was still asleep on the dragon bed in the inner hall of Qianqing Palace. Xuan Ye didn't disturb him, and waved away everyone in the room. The man sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the man in front of him.

Chengde's breathing was light and shallow, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth in his sleep, as if he was having a good dream, and his peaceful sleeping face was as beautiful as a dream of Xuan Ye, which made him feel refreshed.Xuan Ye couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed the corner of his lips lightly, and was afraid of waking him up, so he straightened up before staying for a long time.But despite this, Chengde still babbled, and opened his eyes with trembling long eyelashes.

He looked at Xuan Ye with his eyes blindfolded for a moment, and then he broke into a smile and asked lazily: "What time is it? Why don't you go to court?"

Xuanye's heart melted hopelessly at this moment, he held Chengde's hand tightly, put it on his lips and kissed and replied: "It's already turned down, it doesn't matter if you sleep for a while."

"Have I been asleep for so long?" Chengde stood up, and the silk dragon quilt slipped from his chest, revealing the red berries covering his entire chest.Probably because the two of them have done too many things to refresh their previous cognition in the past few days, Cheng De didn't care about it at this time, but Xuan Ye still couldn't resist. Disappeared fruit.

Chengde pushed away the hairy head on his chest, and said angrily, "Don't make trouble! For three days in a row, haven't you tossed enough?!"

"How is it possible?! As long as it's with you, no matter how many times I feel it's not enough! I can't wait to-"

"Stop talking!" Cheng De interrupted him loudly, if not for this, what this person is going to say next must be extremely unbearable.For example, "Next time when I am approving a memorial, can you sit on my body and move by yourself?" 'What' this little mouth under yours is so delicious, I'm about to be chewed by you 'What' If there are 24 hours in a day, I must stay in you obediently for twelve hours, and be intimate with you OK? '

Xuan Ye innocently looked at Cheng De, who was both angry and ashamed, but his heart was full of joy. He was not angry when Cheng De pushed him to the side of the dragon bed, but looked at Cheng De calmly with one hand face dressing.

"Your Majesty, the minister will leave the palace tomorrow. Has the Emperor summoned any envoys who instigated the dragon these days?" Cheng De was fully dressed, without looking at Xuan Ye, he sat down at the dining table and began to eat.This meal can't be regarded as breakfast or lunch, anyway, Chengde is very hungry, as long as he wakes up these few days, he needs to eat something to fill his stomach.

"Stay for another two days?" Xuan Ye sat down beside Cheng De pitifully, looking at him anxiously.

Cheng De frowned, put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked at Xuan Ye seriously and said: "I have been in the palace for many days, and Ama and Er Niang at home must be very worried. Although they don't think about the emperor, I am going to instigate Long Yi It's been half a year since I left, and I haven't met them when I finally come back, so I just live in the palace like this, it's inevitable that they will think too much, I'd better go home as soon as possible to report that I'm safe."

Xuan Ye said dissatisfied: "There are so many days, it's only three days!"

"Three days, it's also a torment for parents who haven't seen for half a year! Your Majesty?!" Seeing Xuan Ye's silence, Cheng De had no choice but to hold his hand and said: "Xuan Ye, you should understand my heart, even though I I love you, but I will also miss Ama and Erniang!"

Cheng De has probably never expressed his feelings for Xuan Ye so bluntly before, and now it is so natural, it is not only extremely useful to Xuan Ye, but it can be described.

I saw Xuanye staring at Chengde with bright eyes, constantly asking Chengde to repeat what he just said, but Chengde pretended to be stupid, and only used words such as "missing my parents" and "you should understand me" to prevaricate him.

Xuan Ye couldn't ask for it, thinking that there was still one night anyway, so there was always a way to get him to say it again.So, she promised him that he could leave the palace tomorrow.

The two talked for a while about Xuanye's meeting with the envoys who instigated the dragon, and Chengde told Xuanye that he wanted to visit the imperial ministers in the palace.Chengde is now the third-class imperial guard and the fifth rank, and the imperial guard and the Qianqingmen guard are not under the jurisdiction of the chief guard's mansion, so when he proposed to pay his respects to his Shangfeng, Xuan Ye was stunned for a moment, as if For a moment, he didn't remember who the current imperial minister is.When he finally realized that the current imperial minister was Mi Sihan who had been transferred to the Ministry of War as Minister, his expression was not so good.

Cheng De was going to visit his immediate boss, Xuan Ye didn't feel any worries.But the immediate boss became Mi Sihan from Fucha's family, and Mi Sihan was Ma Qi's Ama, so Xuan Ye was not very willing.

He stared at Chengde angrily, and asked sourly: "I remember that you have a good relationship with Mi Sihan's son? Didn't Mi Sihan want to betroth his family's princess to you? Do you want that woman too?" To be your wife?!"

Cheng De looked at Xuan Ye in surprise, and when he realized that he was jealous, Cheng De couldn't help lying on the table and laughing.Xuanye couldn't hold back anymore, he pulled Chengde up, and kissed him hard like punishment.

The direct kiss made Chengde breathless before letting him go.Then continue to ask the question just now.

Chengde had no choice but to straighten his expression and tell the truth: "If possible, I don't want to marry a certain woman in my life."

Xuan Ye felt very relieved after hearing this.But Chengde's next words made him not so comfortable, he only heard Chengde continue: "I don't like women, I don't have the slightest interest in matters between men and women—"

Xuan Ye was so anxious that he almost lifted the table, and forced to ask: "Could it be that you like me because I am a man?!"

"It's because I like you that I can only like men!!" Cheng De said solemnly, seeing Xuan Ye was even more anxious, and hurriedly added: "I only like you, a man!"

Xuan Ye's face looked better now, and he finally suppressed Zhong Chengde and finished speaking.

"I met you in this life, it was the kindness that God gave me. Even if I didn't say it all these years, don't you know that I put all my thoughts on you? I don't have any extra thoughts to go Take care of other men and women! You said you want to give me a marriage, and I believe you can arrange it, so I won’t ask you how to arrange it, but you have to know that my heart is all with you, so I don’t I don’t want to disappoint an innocent woman’s life, I’ve kept this in my heart for a long time, and I never had a chance to tell you, but I finally said it today.”

Cheng De heaved a sigh of relief, while Xuan Ye was still immersed in Cheng De's words just now, unwilling to pull them out.This is the second time that his Rong Ruo has spoken sweet words to him today, although the speaker has no intention at all.

Xuan Ye was so excited that he hugged Cheng De's waist, and buried his face in Cheng De's chest. The dependent appearance probably scared a large number of court officials.

Cheng De let him lean on him for a while, and then reminded him that it was time to deal with government affairs. Xuan Ye was obedient and obedient. Not only did he go to criticize papers energetically, but under the influence of sweet words, Cheng De was also very generous when he went to see Mi Sihan. Approved without any further jealousy.

Cheng De was walking towards the Ministry of War while thinking that even though Xuan Ye has grown up now, when facing him, he is still the same as when he was a child.

Chengde and the others went out this time to instigate the dragon to go secretly and return secretly.Therefore, although Emperor Kangxi received the instigator of the dragon on the second day after their return, the ministers present at that time were only a few highly trusted by the emperor.The reason for this is naturally to guard against the eyeliner Zhungeer may have planted in the capital.Therefore, although Chengde and others have made outstanding achievements in this mission, the emperor's reward still has to wait until the Mongolian war situation is stable, at least until the instigated dragon sends troops to Zhuanger.

Cheng De doesn't care about the so-called rewards at all, it's just a matter of more or less monthly salary for him now.He wanted to visit Mi Sihan today, firstly because he was in a hurry on a mission before and did not meet Shangfeng in an official time, and secondly because he wanted to learn more about Mongolia from Mi Sihan.

Naturally, Xuan Ye had already told him about the situation in Mongolia, but everyone looked at the problem from a different perspective. Mi Sihan might have some ideas that he didn't dare to tell Xuan Ye, but he could tell him.This kind of comprehensive understanding can help Xuanye better.

Mi Sihan was naturally happy to see Chengde.He knew that Chengde had made great achievements in instigating the dragon this time, and the future career of this young man could be said to be promising, and he respected him so much, which elder would not like it.So, the two chatted happily.

Because of Geng Jingzhong's attack on the feudal clan, Aolong had not sent troops to Mongolia yet, so at the end of August, the imperial court appointed Wang Zhiding, former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, as the admiral of the south of the Yangtze River to prepare for the change of the San Francisco.

On the eighth day of September, 15 elite troops were instigated to raid Zhungeer. Zhungeer was caught off guard and moved southward. Along the way, Horqin, Harqin, Tumed, and Aohan tribes chased and intercepted them.During the same period, Emperor Kangxi followed the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Qiluan to the north to pay homage to Fu and Zhaoer Tombs. Ministers such as Liu Mingzhu and Suo'etu stayed in Beijing, accompanied by Mi Sihan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and accompanied by Chengde.

In the middle of the month, the mausoleum ceremony was completed, and Emperor Kangxi arrived in Shengjing.A banquet was given to all officials in the Qingning Palace. All meritorious veterans over 80 years old were declared to be given wine in front of the emperor. They also offered gifts to Fengtian, Ninggu Pagoda soldiers, and gold and silver for the disabled, old and sick. The same is true for those.Qu amnesty's death penalty was reduced by one grade, and he was released and returned to his hometown below the military level.On the way to Shengjing, he passed through Shanhaiguan. Emperor Kangxi not only visited the people in disguise to investigate the situation of Mongolian harassment, but also decreed that Shanhaiguan and other areas frequently attacked by bandits would be exempted from rent and tax for this year and next.

In addition, Emperor Kangxi also sent officials to worship the tombs of kings and ministers.It was not until the end of the month that he made an eastward tour from Shengjing.

During this east tour, Emperor Kangxi brought three hundred bodyguards and more than ten eunuchs to serve him, and only Chengde was left by his side to accompany him.

The most important purpose of Emperor Kangxi's going north to Shengjing this time was to obtain first-hand battle reports from various Mongolian ministries faster and in a timely manner, so that he could make correct judgments and instructions on the battle situation more accurately.

Therefore, under such a sophisticated plan of Emperor Kangxi, the Mongolian Zhungeer tribe, which was short of food and supplies, obviously appeared to be unstable in the military. In the face of the fighting power of the dragon warriors who had been accumulating for many years and the siege and interception of various tribes in southern Mongolia, they were quickly defeated. They were beaten so badly that they had no choice but to turn around and flee to the northeast.

Cheng De leaned against the wall of the carriage and unconsciously fell asleep.Xuan Ye sat next to him, seeing his head knocking against the wall of the carriage from time to time, he closed the book in his hand, pulled him over, and let his head rest on his shoulder.

During his eastward tour, besides checking the strength of the frontier defense along the way, another important thing was to pick up someone.This person was met when he came to Shengjing to look for 'Cheng Rongruo' in his early years.At that time, his mind was still pure, and he took advantage of the situation to save that person out of sympathy and compassion.After saving people, because he was a child and was seriously ill, it was inconvenient for him to take him back to the palace, so he arranged for a family to be fostered. He thought it might be useful in the future, but now he came to ask for help for Chengde. Use this person.

The carriage quickly drove into a small border town, and Xuan Ye stopped the car at the entrance of the town.Seeing that Chengde was still asleep, he didn't wake him up, and he lifted the curtain and got out of the car.In fact, in Xuanye's heart, he is very contradictory about taking this person back to Beijing. He hopes that Chengde will know so that he can at least see his reaction, but also hopes that Chengde will not know, so he will not draw a picture. Distract yourself from thinking about it.Xuanye naturally wished that Chengde would not think about other things and only think about him alone.

At this time, Li Dequan and the others were already waiting outside the carriage. Seeing the emperor getting off the carriage, Li Dequan waved behind him, and a carriage prepared in advance slowly drove over. The door stopped, the family seemed to have received the news that the master would come today, so they waited at the door early.Thatched huts, fence gates, and a couple in their 60s stand with their heads bowed and their heads bowed. Their obedient and humble appearance seems to have been tempered to the general standard.

Xuan Ye didn't get in the car again, but walked over without haste.Standing still in front of the couple, the two of them knelt down together and shouted: "Meet the master."

"Get up, how are you? Did you find everything?" Xuan Ye stood up with his hands back and asked casually.

The old man quickly replied: "I have been educated for 12 years, and I am good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I understand it well."

"Well, that's good." Xuan Ye nodded in satisfaction, and said again: "Do you take the medicine on time?"

"Eat on time. However, the doctor said that it hurts the heart, and it can be delayed for a day." It was the old man who answered.

The old woman didn't say a word, Xuan Ye didn't care, and asked the old man again: "This time when you return to Beijing, which one of you will go with?"

This time, the old man paused for a moment before saying: "Let the old woman go with me, I still can't get away from the matter here."

"Okay. If that's the case, then Nanny Liu, you can take her into the car." After Xuan Ye finished speaking, Nanny Liu responded and kowtowed before standing up and walking into the yard.

Not long after, Mammy Liu helped out a man wearing a white cloak. The hood of the cloak was so big that it covered most of his face, making it impossible to see what kind of face was under the hood.Of course Xuan Ye didn't care about this, he glanced at Nanny Liu and the white figure, let the old man flatten down, and whispered a few words, then boarded the carriage again, got up and drove away.

The old man watched Nanny Liu and the man in the white cloak board another carriage and followed the emperor's carriage farther and farther until he could no longer see him, then turned and returned to the courtyard.

Throughout the dynasties, every emperor needed some people to do things for him that he could not do on the surface, such as collecting intelligence, such as monitoring ministers, and such as inquiring about people's sentiments.And this old man and Nanny Liu were sent here to find someone because the emperor wanted to find someone when he was young.The old man was born as a bodyguard, and Nanny Liu was once a court lady, and was bestowed upon him by the emperor as his daughter-in-law, but she had nothing to do for many years.

When Shengjing came to look for someone for the emperor, the emperor once said that they would not come back until they found someone. Now they have been looking for 15 years, but there is no news of the person, but he has taken root in this bitter cold place. Now He also started collecting intelligence for the emperor, monitoring ministers, and inquiring about people's and military conditions. Twelve years ago, the emperor sent someone to bring a five or six-year-old dying girl to their husband and wife. Later, she was rescued, but her bones were very weak.The couple had no children all their lives, so they treated this girl as their own. The old lady loved her deeply, and this time she heard that she was going to send the girl to Beijing, so she couldn't bear it.

The old man couldn't stand his daughter-in-law dying, so he bit the bullet and asked the emperor to let them go with him so that it would be easier to take care of him.The emperor gave this grace.

The emperor didn't say what he wanted the girl to do in Beijing, and they didn't dare to ask.Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's ministers, the whole world belongs to the emperor, let alone the people.If the emperor wants you to die, you shouldn't steal your life.

The old man took a last look at the direction the carriage was leaving, and saw that the mighty group had turned into a small black spot in the sky, so he sighed, shook his head, and returned to the yard.

When Cheng De woke up, the carriage was still moving forward without haste like before he fell asleep.He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Xuan Ye's sharp-edged chin, and he knew that he had fallen asleep in Xuan Ye's arms again.

Cheng De hurriedly stood up, rubbed Xuan Ye's shoulders, and asked: "It's been a day, haven't you arrived yet?"

Xuan Ye closed the cloak on his body for him, and said: "You are asleep, you have finished your work just now, we are on our way back."
