Does the absurd rumor of the elixir hide Tsewang Alabatan's ambition to invade Lhasa through his daughter's marriage and turn Tibet and Xinjiang under the rule of the Zhungeer tribe?

This is not only a small matter, but a major conspiracy started through the marriage.

However, Kangxi did not immediately write a letter to Lhazang Khan, urging him to absolutely not allow his eldest son Danzhong to marry Cewang Allah Butan's daughter.

Politics is never simple, it is not black and white.

Speaking of which, the first wife of Cewang Allah Butan was Razang Khan's sister.

The two are related by marriage, but it is not always true how close they are over the years.There is no necessary connection between marriage and love, and marriage can also be for the purpose of annexing each other.

This time of kissing and kissing may be the beginning of annexation.

It is useless to remind Lazang Khan now, people always don't cry when they don't see the coffin.

Lhazang Khan last year sent a memorial to his eldest son insisting on getting married, and sent his second son Sulza to Qinghai to show his loyalty to the emperor.

It is said that the marriage between the Tibetan area and the Junggar tribe is very simple, and there is no intention of the two major forces uniting against the imperial court.

Is this the truth?

Kangxi suspected that Lhazang Khan had a small plan.

On the surface, Lhazang Khan did not want his eldest son Danzhi to threaten to marry a daughter who should not be married, but he compromised because of his father's love.

In fact, it is not a kind of demonstration.

Lhazang Khan is not the only one in the Tibetan area, and there are still existences that are against him.Wouldn't it be beautiful to get closer to the Junggar tribe, and the combination of the two will be stronger.

Persecuted by death, Dan Zhong is determined to have this marriage.Once he goes to greet his relatives, he must be prepared to be detained.

Before that day, Dan Zhong's mind could not clear up.Before that day, Lhazang Khan would not sincerely ask the imperial court for assistance, and would let the imperial court intervene in the government affairs of Tibetan areas.

Kangxi silently calculated how the court should strive for the greatest benefit.

It should also be considered that the location of the Zhungeer Ministry is a line of defense against Tsarist Russia.

Because of Tsewang Arabutan's ambition, he will not submit to Peter I and will not tolerate the invasion of Tsarist Russia.

Success is also ambition, and failure is also ambition.

If there is no ambition, it will not fight against the expansion of Tsarist Russia, but if it has ambition, it will invade Tibet.

How to control this balance?

It is necessary to completely subdue people with the momentum of thunder.

Or it is to annex the Zhungeer Ministry completely, and directly assign the Western Regions to become a new province for the imperial court to directly manage.

This kind of thing is very difficult.

In the past, Yujia personally attacked Galdan three times.

If the old leader of the Junggar tribe was wiped out, it means that a new careerist, Cewang Allah Butan, has emerged.

There is nothing wrong with militarism, and more importantly, after conquering a piece of land, it will not be possible to complete the integration of local tribes in one or two years, but it will take ten to twenty years.

"clang--"

The sound of the chiming bell breaks the quiet thinking environment.

Chief eunuch Wei Zhu reminded outside, "Your Majesty, there is still half an hour before the New Year's Eve farewell ceremony will begin."

Needless to say, the second half of the sentence, let the emperor stop doing business, and prepare to change into sacrificial clothes.

Kangxi put down the fourth child's family letter, frowned slightly and stood up.

This day, one thing after another.

I was thinking that I must prepare for the battle of Wangarabutan. A prepared battle is completely different from an unprepared battle. Before I have decided who to send, I have to change clothes to participate in the New Year's Eve ceremony.

It's almost the Spring Festival, why can't the emperor take a break?

Obviously the yamen is also sealed, but the poor emperor still has nothing to do, he needs to take care of the sacrifices, he needs to understand the annual gifts sent from various places, and he has to think about who is getting married.

By the first day of the first lunar month tomorrow, I will be 60 years old.

Throughout the year, there are few days where you can sleep until dawn before getting up. Are you living like a human being?

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more he felt inexplicably aggrieved.

For four and a half years, he was not fully prepared to abdicate from the beginning, and he was looking forward, looking forward, looking forward to the time when the flowers were all gone, and the fourth child returned to Beijing.

The urgent mail from Gansu has arrived in the capital, why doesn't this person come back soon?What does the fourth child mean, deliberately oppressing the old father, right?

If you want to retire, you can't.

Who can understand this pain?

Kangxi didn't change his face and called Wei Zhu in to change clothes.Looking at Wei Zhu, I felt aggrieved again.

Even the chief eunuch was replaced from Li Dequan to Wei Zhu. He, the emperor, couldn't retire according to the original plan.

Of course, Li Dequan was replaced because of that guy's ambition.

He once provided Lao Ba with a lot of convenience, but he was dismissed after the fall.

No matter how much you slander, it won't show on your face.

As in previous years, Kangxi solemnly led the crowd to the ancestor worship place in the palace to salute, and then went to eat the annual New Year's Eve dinner.

During the period, the door should listen to the words of auspicious blessings from the sons and grandchildren one by one.

Year after year, even if the words of blessing are not the same, they are really boring.

After drinking for three rounds, it is not bad to end the banquet in a boring way, but there are always people who jump out to show their presence.

"Brother, I heard that you sent someone to the Western Regions?"

Holding the wine glass, Yinzhi began to challenge Yinti.

"The rumors about the Queen Mother of the West's elixir are spreading so much, what can you gain? Khan Ama has long said that you should not be obsessed with this kind of asking God. Even if you are looking for good medicine for everyone, you should not go astray. .”

Yinti's face darkened in an instant, and the third child did not stop after the New Year's Eve.

The reason is very easy to guess, this guy is just taking the opportunity to step on someone.

Today, among the princes, only two of them are named princes.

A third child and a fourth child.

The fourth child was sent out for four and a half years, and the ninth child returned to Beijing, but he still hasn't returned.

If the emperor cared about the fourth child, how could he not ask his son to come back to take real power.

The third child just started to shriek.Floating away, thinking that he is getting closer to the distance written in the secret imperial edict.

For this reason, it is even more necessary to step on his eldest brother, so as to prevent the eldest son of the emperor from having the opportunity to be promoted to the prince.

No matter how reckless Yinti is, he can understand such sinister intentions.

"Third brother, your ability to inquire about intelligence has not diminished. More than nine years ago, you were able to inquire into the mass graves outside the city at Fourteen Nights. Now this ear report is even further away, knowing that I sent people to the Western Regions."

Yinzhi knew that he would be labeled as such, but he was not as flustered as he was back then.

Anyway, compared with the boss, he has never done such a thing.

Especially after the Taoist Zhang Mingde case that Lao Ba was involved in, he would not ask God to ask, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Now it is said that there is too much eyeliner outside, so what's the matter.

To this day, the movements between the elder brothers have become an open secret.

Yinzhi peeked at Kangxi, but he didn't see Khan Ama getting angry.

However, let me defend myself. "It's just a coincidence. Someone happened to see the elder brother returning to Beijing from the Western Regions, and asked a few casually. The younger brother also cares about the elder brother."

"Oh! I can't repay you for my brother."

Yinti did send someone to look for the fairy medicine, in fact, he wanted to find auspiciousness to make Kangxi happy, and maybe he would be able to make himself a noble, but his subordinates returned without success.

Since he couldn't find it, he didn't have to admit that he was looking for medicine.

Yinti bit back, "Third brother, if you ask if you have gained something, do you have an idea about the fairy medicine? I advise you not to be superstitious.

This time, I sent someone to investigate whether there is any conspiracy in this rumor, not to find medicine at all.The subordinates have confirmed that the so-called fairy grass at the ruins of the Kucha Kingdom is nothing, but fortunately there is no hidden conspiracy. "

Now it was Yinzhi's turn to froze.

The boss will also refute in a hurry, which is also an evolution.

Kangxi looked at the saber-rattling at the banquet, wishing he could take the pork knuckle from the plate and give the boss and the third a blow.He just made his sons too full to eat, and he didn't make people quiet on New Year's Eve.

The boss was able to refute quickly, but he was full of nonsense.

He kept saying that his subordinates were sure that there was no conspiracy behind the Qiuci elixir, so how could such a big conspiracy be smashed by the fourth child?

The third brother is keeping a close eye on the movements of the brothers.

However, Kangxi dared to use his intuition of being Yinzhi's father for 36 years to deduce that the third child could not really be upright and not be afraid of the shadow slanting.

Yin Zhi didn't realize that he would make a big mistake.

Compiling and compiling books every day, what could happen to him?Could it be that the fourth child found out that he had something illegal with that official?

Not to mention that in four and a half years, I have never heard that the fourth child has found any major cases. I didn't dare to engage in illegal human trafficking like a waste prince. At most, I would ask someone for one or two filial gifts.

We all do this, as long as we have a good sense of proportion.

**

On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhili Provincial Yamen.

Seal was supposed to take annual leave today, but an unexpected incident at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month years ago forced Governor Zhao Hongxie to work overtime.

It all started with a man named Meng Guangzu.

This person claims to be a disciple of Prince Cheng, and he works abroad for Yinzhi.In the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Hongxie, the governor of Zhili, was ready to receive him.

Translate, this is asking for money.

Do you want to make friends with the third prince?Just give filial piety silver.

It is not uncommon for elder brother Huang to seek money outside, and he usually runs the industry by virtue of his natural status advantages.

It is hard to say that it is rare to directly send disciples to ask for expensive gifts.If you ask for money, you will not speak too bluntly, and the clan and dignitaries also do this.

Giving money does not mean surrender, sometimes it is to avoid trouble and fear of being put on small shoes.

Meng Guangzu came to the door full of confidence, and what he said was that it would be of great benefit to seek refuge with Prince Cheng now.

Counting the princes in detail, the possibility of Yinzhi succeeding to the throne is very high. Giving money now is a gesture of favor to the future emperor.

Zhao Hongxie didn't show it at the back, but he didn't want to pay the money from the bottom of his heart. He didn't think highly of Prince Cheng.

Anyway, first find a reason to keep Meng Guangzu.

It is said that the Spring Festival will be celebrated in the twelfth lunar month, and it is windy and snowy outside, it is better to let him entertain, and invite this confidant of Prince Cheng to have a comfortable and enjoyable Spring Festival.

Secretly began to investigate who Meng Guangzu had contact with?

The so-called law does not blame the public.I don't know what is involved, and then judge and tell the emperor to know?

Then I waited until a friend from Shanxi Province next door sent a secret letter, saying that Meng Guangzu had also gone to Shanxi Mansion to ask for filial money.

More cases will have to wait, the communication speed is not so fast.

Anyway, I don’t work during the Spring Festival holiday, so I can wait for letters from other friends after the year to make a decision.

He never expected that Prince Yong, who was interviewed privately by Weifu, would wait here first.

Immediately gave him a thunderbolt.

Meng Guangzu is suspected of pretending to be a member of Prince Cheng's family to defraud. The provinces of deception are known to have involved Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi. According to this route, he should come to Zhili.

Wu Fuyi also wanted to say an old trick: howoldareyou?

Why does Yinzhen always run into strange things again.

Although he was reluctant to go abroad for inspections, considering the filial piety of the fourth child to accompany his parents during the Spring Festival, he originally planned to return home before the first lunar month.The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and she and Yinzhen failed to return to Beijing before the Spring Festival.

Entering Shaanxi, Yinzhen contacted local spies to inquire about the situation of the court in recent years.

That's when I heard that the third child extended his paws to Shaanxi and sent a banner man named Meng Guangzu to ask for filial piety silver.

The third child is so careless?

Yinzhen has doubts in his heart. Although Yinzhi likes to be a crap stick and make small reports, his third brother claims to be aloof and makes friends with all literati.

It is believable to say that Yinzhi opened a bookstore in other places and sold books at far supermarket prices to make huge profits.But it doesn't look like the third child to directly send someone to the door to receive him.

Let's dig deeper.

The officials recruited by Meng Guangzu ranged up to second-rank officials, and many of them were given gold, silver and jewelry, as well as fragrant cars and BMWs.

In this case, there is not only one province, but three provinces have been found, and the farther south of Huguang has not received news for the time being.

What is going on?

Is it because Yinzhi has drifted away, regardless of asking for bribes?

Or is someone taking advantage of the inconvenience of communication in this era, and their mentality of betting on which prince will succeed to the throne to engage in fraud?

Wu Fuyi recalled that Yinzhi once planted eyeliner to report Shisi and Honghui to the mass grave.

The third child is very good at arranging eyeliner, shouldn't he use it all on his brothers, and he doesn't know if his house is stolen?Should Meng Guangzu really have the audacity to use the prince's name to make money?

According to Meng Guangzu's extortion route, he might come to Zhili, so he would block him and take him back to the capital.

Regardless of whether this person is cheating or not, Prince Yong will take care of this matter, and it is impossible to let the prince ask for bribes from the ministers.

This is why Zhao Hongxie, the governor of Zhili, was approached by the New Year's Eve, hoping that he could cooperate with the case.

Zhao Hongxie was shocked that Meng Guangzu's range of soliciting bribes was wider than he imagined.He expressed his willingness to cooperate on the spot, and then led the way to the other courtyard where Meng Guangzu was housed.

In the other courtyard, there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

Meng Guangzu was comfortably eating melon seeds in the warm pavilion, imagining how much money he could get from Zhao Hongxie?Next he was headed south.The forces in the south of the Yangtze River are complicated, why not go to Hubei and Hunan first?

The past year and a half has been really comfortable.It is said that leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade, and it is really useful to borrow the name of Prince Cheng.Those officials are really stupid, none of them dare to question him.

Originally, I was worried that Prince Yong's private visits in microservices would break through his fraud.

However, I have heard many times that Prince Yong may pass through a certain place, and the gossip that the wolf is coming, and the corrupt officials are coming, has never been fulfilled.

After a few rounds, he no longer worried, it was impossible for him to be unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of a gun.

"belch--"

Meng Guangzu ate melon seeds until he was full, and was about to ask the boy to order fruit to quench his thirst, but he heard footsteps coming from far and near outside the house.

Zhao Hongxie led the way, and when he entered the door, he said: "Mr. Meng, Happy New Year. You are blessed today. Prince Yong is passing through Zhili Mansion. I heard that Prince Cheng's guests are here. He wants to see you. Hurry up and tidy up and come to the main hall to meet you." .”

"Boom!"

When Meng Guangzu heard this, his hands trembled uncontrollably in an instant, and he threw the frozen pear to the ground.A line of words popped up in my mind - the way of heaven is reincarnation, the wolf is really here!
