[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

Jiang Heng felt the feeling of a paid vacation for a long time.

On the contrary, the emperor is so busy that he can't wait for one person to be divided into two.The emperor's visit to Mulan Hunting Garden has a strong political meaning: firstly, he wants to organize hunting and military exercises of the Eight Banners, and train the children of the Eight Banners to not forget the tradition of martial arts; Mongolia further rewarded and won, and beat Moxi Mongolia, which was about to rebel.

On the way here, Jiang Heng reviewed in his mind the status quo of Mongolia during the three dynasties of Kang, Yong, and Qian.

In general, it is collectively referred to as Mongolia, but it is divided into three main parts: the submissive, the neutral and ambiguous, and the day-to-day thinking about opposing.

Among them, the one who was thinking about rebelling every day, the famous Junggar Kingdom, to Jiang Heng, was an old acquaintance in the history books——During the Ming Dynasty, he captured the famous "Son of Heaven" Zhu Qizhen's classmate Ye Xian, who is now Junggar Ancestors of a family.

It can be seen that this branch is born with a warlike gene. When there was a Ming Dynasty, they fought against the Ming Dynasty, and then fought against the Qing Dynasty.

When Jiang Heng thought of Zhu Qizhen, he was still grieving for Daming in his heart. It was strange that after several generations of the heroic masters of the dignified Daming, he had just passed away.

From the time Jiang Heng thought about reviewing the history textbooks, it was known that she was living a leisurely life.

It's not just her, the concubines are all enjoying themselves.

They are all young girls. When they came to this grassland, although they were thinking about being pampered, the hard conditions did not allow it. The emperor was so busy that he couldn't even take care of the queen mother.

The big leader is too busy to see anyone, and he just happens to be fishing. Human nature has not changed since ancient times, and the stolen time is the happiest.

The queen stayed in the Forbidden City and did not come to the hunting garden. The concubines originally wanted to ask the queen mother for help.

However, the queen mother directly stated that she has her own business to do, and she also has entertainment on weekdays, so the concubines should not go to greet (disturb) without order.

Instead, let the concubines practice horseback riding in the circled back camp.Speaking of organizing a women's horse race, polo, fancy riding and archery and other activities in a few days, the emperor is invited to visit.

Jiang Hengxin said: Who would have thought that entering a job in the ancient harem would also involve participation in team building and company games.The last thing she wanted to participate in in her previous life was such an activity.

Leadership organizes such events under the guise of increasing corporate cohesion.But for Jiang Heng, it only felt like adding ineffective overtime.

She believes that if the leader discounts the team building money to everyone, the custody will further enhance the cohesion of employees and their goodwill towards the company.

Of course, having said that, if there is no indicator to press down, riding a horse is still very happy.

Jiang Heng didn't know how to ride a horse in the past. He only experienced spending money to sit on a horse and yak in a scenic spot, and was led for a walk.

Now there are professional hunting court palace people who are teaching carefully and caringly.In just two or three days, Jiang Heng could hold the reins by himself and trot the horse for a short distance.

Afraid of the scorching sun, she chose to go out when the sun was not high in the morning and after dusk.

When the emperor saw Jiang Heng again, it was already the fifth day in the hunting garden.

Speaking of being in the palace that day, the emperor mentioned that he wanted her to see Hai Dongqing, whom he raised.However, when we came to this hunting garden and met the Mongolian prince, it inevitably brought back some memories and great regrets of the emperor in the national war in his previous life.So he immediately rushed to work and got busy.

It wasn't until this day that the emperor brought his subordinate princes and ministers with the Eight Banners to guard the deer early in the morning, so it was considered that he had so little time.

Because the emperor is not very enthusiastic about shooting and hunting, he just opened the field, and after hunting the first deer, he left the field and handed the scene to Prince Yi to continue to lead.

To show encouragement to the soldiers of the Eight Banners, the emperor divided them into groups before leaving the field, and rewarded them as prey at that time.

After the emperor left the sentinel field, he wanted to take his Hai Dongqing to show Jiang Heng a look.Send Su Peisheng to look for it first to see where the nobleman is.

Su Peisheng came back soon and reported that the nobleman was walking his horse on the grass behind the concubine's camp.

The emperor looked at the time: "She got up early."

The hunting garden is not far from the Jehol Palace, and I stayed in the palace for two days on the way here.After that, if you walk on the grassland, you will live in tents.Numerous tents were set up on the grassland, forming a small city made of tents.

The concubines themselves formed a small concentric circle, enclosing the empress dowager's tent in the middle.

The area around the concubine's tent circle is the most quiet and deserted, only some eunuchs and court ladies, as well as the small tents of the small tea room, clothing supervisor and other departments responsible for the daily life of the queen mother and concubines are scattered.No courtier would dare to come to the surrounding land, so it is an extraordinarily quiet and empty grassland.

It is a place of abundant aquatic plants.

Jiang Heng looked up at the sky. When the sun first rose, he felt that the sky was blue and transparent, and it was extraordinarily high; when he looked down at the horizon, he saw the horses grazing silently with their heads down. The changing light and shadow on the huge green screen.

She had never been to the prairie in her previous life, and her only impression or imagination of Beyond the Great Wall actually came from a very sad passage in Tianlong Babu, "Stuffed cattle and sheep, empty promises."

When she read martial arts novels, the Internet was underdeveloped, and there were no advance spoilers, high-energy warnings and the like.

She just reads the article happily, eagerly waiting for Qiao Feng's revenge to be avenged, and A'Zhu to escape the Great Wall.

However, there was a turn of events, and the scene where Qiao Feng accidentally killed A'Zhu gave her a critical blow to her heart. The tears she cried were heavier than the rain that fell on the night when A'Zhu died.

Otherwise, the most difficult thing for people to forget is the psychological shadow of childhood and adolescence.When Jiang Heng sees the vast grassland, he still thinks of the phrase "empty promise" and feels sad.

Because of the sense of tragedy of Tianlong Babu, Jiang Heng felt that the scenery and people on the grassland, no matter how heroic they are, are heroic with a bit of tragic color.

Because he came to the concubine's camp, the emperor only brought a few eunuchs who were good at riding and shooting, and did not bring any guards.

From a distance, Jiang Heng saw a few sloppy horses flying towards them.

The emperor looked down at her from his horse, with a stern face protruding from the golden armor.Since arriving on the grassland, the emperor has been slightly tanned and turned into a wheat color.

He stretched out his hand.

Jiang Heng sat sideways on the emperor's horse.

In order to allow her to sit sideways, the emperor also asked someone to change the saddle, otherwise she would just get stuck on the edge of the saddle.

The one who galloped over to change the saddle was no outsider, but Su Peisheng.

Seeing that Eunuch Su was very skilled at riding horses, Jiang Heng thought that it would be difficult to be the first secretary of the empire, and he had to be a hexagonal multi-faceted warrior.

Speaking of which, sitting sideways is not very safe. It belongs to the sitting position where traffic control is required and they have to be stopped by them.Fortunately, the emperor just reined in his horse and walked slowly, encircling her whole body by the way, which was considered safe.

The horse, which is good at running, was obviously a little confused by the speed of its owner. Jiang Heng hesitated when he saw it go, and even lowered his head and ate two mouthfuls of grass, and stopped and couldn't go.It wasn't until the emperor strangled it that it raised its head and continued to kick and walk, looking quite bored.

Jiang Heng touched the horse's mane: It is indeed the emperor's horse. The mane is smooth and shiny, and it feels very good.

"Are you arguing with someone today? Have you been bullied?" The emperor's sudden question made Jiang Heng a little confused. Where did he start?

Seeing that she was at a loss, the emperor knew that he had guessed wrong, so he simply asked directly: "I rarely see you with a sad face. Just now, I saw a lot of sadness in your eyes, and you even wanted to cry. Since It’s not that you’ve been bullied, what’s the matter? You’ve come to this hunting garden, and you’re still feeling sad?”

It's hard for Jiang Heng to say, she thought of a poignant love story.

And the leader brought you on vacation, how can you say you are not happy.

So Jiang Heng stated that he would come out to ride horses every day these days to show his joy, and thanked the leader for bringing him on vacation.Regarding his own sadness, Jiang Heng only told half the truth: "A few days ago, everyone was together, and it was very lively. Today is a coincidence, the concubine came out early, and I was alone looking at the vast grassland. , it feels desolate."

As soon as he said this, the emperor also raised his eyes and looked around.

Sure enough, there was a kind of vague desolation.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

"Take it to the Qing Dynasty, don't stay here for a long time, but remember it." Jiang Heng recalled a sentence from "Little Rock Lake" in the previous textbook.People can't understand this kind of feeling when they don't go to the scenery, because the scenery is too quiet and out of the world, and they can't stay for a long time.

Staying in such a place for a long time will really kill people's fireworks.

She looked up, and saw that the emperor's expression also looked very sad, even with a bit of remorse that cannot be recalled.

Speaking of which, this grassland has a bad memory for the emperor.

Emperor Yongzheng's reform of official administration was included in textbooks.But he is not a real all-rounder in civil and military affairs, he is an individual with his own weaknesses.

To be honest, Lord Yongzheng was numbered from top to bottom by the Qing emperor (up and down are father and son, and left and right are brothers), and his combat power can be counted...not very good.

It can be said that his personal skill points are top-notch in governing the country, but in terms of martial arts, the lights are relatively dim, and he belongs to a person who is seriously biased.

He once fought a great defeat in a national war.

The battle with Tongbo can be said to be the worst battle since the founding of the Qing Dynasty: the army led by the general Fu Erdan was completely wiped out.

During that time, Emperor Yongzheng couldn't sleep at night, for fear that Emperor Ama would come out from the ground to scold him in his nightmare, and he was also afraid of seeing the disappointed eyes of Thirteenth Brother.

Fortunately, there was the Mongolian Prince Cering who turned the tide and won the Northwest in the First World War.

Fu Erdan was not good as a general, but fortunately Emperor Yongzheng already knew who could do it as a general.

"Jungar is always in serious trouble." The emperor even murmured.

Jiang Heng pretended not to hear.

When the emperor mentioned Junggar, she guessed what the emperor was regretting.

For Emperor Yongzheng, who is so strict with himself and devoted himself to the career of the emperor, the humiliation brought to him by this big defeat must be beyond imagination.

Calculating the time, the ninth year of Yongzheng was just the year after Prince Yi passed away, and the empress also passed away in this year. It seems that the emperor is in a year of career and emotional collapse.That was definitely the darkest age of the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Indeed, in the ninth year of Yongzheng, even Emperor Yongzheng, who died once, didn't want to recall it again.

This time he was willing to come to Mulan Hunting Garden because he wanted to fundamentally change these things.

After showing Jiang Heng Hai Dongqing, the emperor returned to the big tent in the middle and summoned Prince Yi.

After the emperor left the stage, Prince Yi felt that it was boring to watch the deer this time.

Although he was also a contestant, the emperor made him a supervisor before leaving, so he became half a referee at the same time.Prince Yi is the emperor's valued brother, a serious prince, and the minister of prime minister affairs.At the deer sentinel field, everyone gave way to him. When he was chasing the prey, he found that the competitors were gone—no one dared to go with him to snatch the prey.

There are even people who deliberately drive their prey to him.

Even the brothers who are also princes and county kings gave in to him: Ba ​​Ye and others are not all the way with him, nor are they heroes on the hunting ground, and they have never participated in such activities.The next ten 56 little princes all watched him act with eyebrows and eyes.The little princes were very afraid that the emperor, the fourth brother of the emperor, would make some mistakes, so they usually begged the thirteenth brother in private.

This made Prince Yi feel bored.

He had never missed Fourteen so much.

As brothers, now only Shishi dares to seriously compete with him in horse racing and hunting.Fourteen would never let him down, and every time he set a lottery with him very seriously, if he won, he would definitely accept him for a penny, and would take the spoils to show off everywhere.

Therefore, Prince Yi, who was getting more and more bored, saw the guards in front of the imperial tent coming to invite him, so he just got out and came to meet the saint.

When we arrived at the emperor's dragon tent, we found someone was already there.

"Sixth brother-in-law." Prince Yi paused, and did not use the title of county king to address this man, but changed to a more intimate title.

Upon hearing the sound, King Celing of the Mongolian County hurriedly turned his head to salute Thirteen: "I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't have time to say hello to Prince Yi. Please don't blame me." This burly Mongolian man always seemed to be a little uneasy.

He married the sixth princess of Emperor Kangxi, so he was the emperor's brother-in-law.It's a pity that the sixth princess has been in poor health, and she didn't get married until she was 22 years old, and she was sick most of the time after she got married.Their relationship was not bad, and Celing was also afraid that the princess would not get used to it on the grassland, so he took the princess back to the capital and tried his best to treat her, but the sixth princess died of illness within a few years.

This made Celing always feel uneasy when facing the emperor.

At this time, the emperor called Prince Yi and Celing to come together, talking about Junggar.

The land of Junggar in Moxi Mongolia has always been a serious problem for the Qing Dynasty, and it has not been cleaned up since Emperor Kangxi.Now it just seems to be in peace.The emperor summoned Ce Ling this time to let him pay close attention to the Junggar Great Khan Cewang Allah Butan.

Celing felt the emperor's kindness and intention to reuse him, and nodded his promise again and again.

After he left, Shisan sat down very familiarly.

The two sat cross-legged in the tent, Shisan drove away Su Peisheng, and poured milk tea for the emperor with a jug in his hand: "Where do you go to drink, or here on the Horqin grassland, drinking milk tea feels the most delicious."

The emperor likes to see Thirteenth Brother full of energy, so he smiled and said: "I don't have any urgent matters here, if you want to go hunting, go ahead and come back at night."

Prince Yi shook his head and said: "I don't want to go, it's boring." Then he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Huang, others let me go." Then he said with some emotion: "I really want to be fourteen."

After sighing with emotion, Thirteen became serious: "Brother Huang came back to Horqin, and he is very concerned about Moxi and Mobei Mongolia, and there are many beatings. He also arranged for Celing to keep an eye on it - what kind of small tricks are they called Huang?" Did you find out?"

The emperor nodded: "If you feel disobedient, it will be a matter of time. Besides, apart from Junggar, Qinghai is not stable."

Thirteen contemplated for a moment: "Brother Emperor, in fact, Fourteen's ability and temperament are more suitable for fighting. But this river control..." Fourteen did not dare to write to the emperor to complain, but Tianer wrote to Thirteen crying: The river is so boring, what kind of soil, what kind of sand, what kind of river work, what kind of material resources, he is reported one head and two big every day.

Sometimes he has to follow Guan Bao to squat on the embankment, and it’s okay to be disheartened, mainly because he can’t get into these things at all, and he is not interested at all.

Especially after knowing that the emperor came to hunt in Chengde hunting ground, Fourteen's letter arrived even more urgently and full of bitterness and tears: He wants to go hunting!He wants to go to the battlefield to order troops!He didn't want to squat by the river counting blocks and stakes.

At this time, Ling Ce has not yet revealed the demeanor of the "Super Brave Prince" in the future. The emperor used him, and the Thirteenth Lord didn't understand it for the time being. He only thought that there was another change in Junggar. The situation was urgent. Mongolian county kings will use it.

Just mentioned fourteen, wouldn't it be better to use your own brother.

The emperor didn't hide anything from Prince Yi, and said directly: "Of course I want to use fourteen. It's just that he is too young and too impatient."

In the previous life, when Fourteen was the general king, he was already in his thirties seven years later. In the middle years, the Qing Dynasty had frictions with Junggar and Tsarist Russia. There were no small battles in the big wars. experience.

The current Fourteen is still too young.

"I didn't expect him to learn anything on the river, I just wanted to grind his impatience. I planned to transfer him back to the capital for the New Year before the Chinese New Year. After that... Let him go to Qinghai to study military affairs, It is best to replace Nian Gengyao within two or three years."

"Nian Gengyao?" The Emperor wanted to use Celing and Fourteenth. The Thirteenth Lord was not surprised, but Prince Yi was really surprised if he wanted to give up Nian Gengyao: "Don't you trust Nian Gengyao, brother?"

This is the emperor's half brother-in-law. When the emperor first ascended the throne, he carried the flag for the Nian family.In the eyes of outsiders, the reason for the concubine and Nian Gengyao is half and half.

Many people said that Nian Gengyao was the most trusted general by the emperor.

Besides, Nian Gengyao himself was really capable in the army, there was nothing wrong with guarding Qinghai, and the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi was also sitting firmly, so Shisan was very surprised at this time, the emperor actually had the intention of mobilizing Nian Gengyao.

The emperor shook his head: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, you can pay attention to Nian Gengyao's official status in private in the past two years."

Thirteen solemnly agreed.

Seeing Shisan's tense mood, the emperor smiled again, and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm just planning ahead, so don't tire yourself out too much. I see that Guanbao has done a good job in the matter of river governance. In the future, I will Also pay attention, you also pay attention to the capable ministers in the court who are willing to do practical things. No need...we have everything in our hands, and you have to help me guard this Qing Dynasty for a long time."

Thinking about the illness that caused the thirteenth to drag his legs in the previous life, he had to go to the river embankment to investigate and visit in person. If he couldn't rest for a while, the emperor felt uncomfortable.

Prince Yi's tense shoulders relaxed, and he recommended a chef to the emperor.

"Brother, Prince Tenzindorji recommended an excellent barbecue chef to his younger brother. He is best at using various wooden branches to skewer meat and roast it on fire. He also claims that the grassland is the person who knows meat and fire best." Well, Brother Huang, do you want to try it?"

Prince Tenzin Dorji wanted to recommend it to the emperor's cook to please him, but he was a little afraid, so he followed the route of Prince Yi like many people.

Prince Yi is a good person, he will never underestimate the credit of others, and he will definitely mention recommenders generously in front of the emperor.

At this time, the Thirteenth Lord smiled and said: "The Fourteenth is not here, and the Emperor is busy, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will be lonely and panic. If the Emperor wants to try this barbecue, you can offer it to the Empress Dowager to taste."

The emperor shook his head first: "The emperor's mother has stayed in the Forbidden City all her life, and she is used to eating in the dining rooms of the palace. I'm afraid she doesn't like these smoky things."

Thirteen smiles: "Brother Huang made a mistake. As long as it is offered by him, the Empress Dowager doesn't like to eat it, and she is happy in her heart. What's more, now that I am here on the grassland, how can I still eat the traditional dishes in the dining room of the palace?" Well, even the best things are boring."

The emperor was moved by the first half of the sentence: Yes, the mother here will not pick him easily.It was something she didn't like, as long as it was her filial piety, Er Niang would be happy.

It's just that the emperor doesn't know much about the queen mother's taste.

Before offering to the Empress Dowager, he ordered people to announce the honorable person to the account.

After Jiang Heng arrived, the emperor pushed her to sit in front of the table and chair: "Thirteenth Brother recommended a barbecue cook. I wanted to give some to the Queen's Mother to taste, but I was afraid that the Queen's Mother would not like it. It’s a gift from me and I have to use it reluctantly, it’s not good. Since leaving Beijing, the Empress has often taken you to eat, you should know something about the taste of the Empress, so I ask you to come and taste it together.”

Jiang Heng tried his best to restrain his expression of joy: Oh, it's a job of tasting food, she likes this job.

And it's a barbecue tasting job!She is willing to overtime this kind of class!

Restraining the smile and appetite on her lips, she first explained to the emperor her limitations and unfamiliarity with this job: "The concubine does not have as many meals with the empress dowager as the concubine Xi. And the concubine enters the palace late... ..."

Concubine Xi has sons and is stable, she is one of the Empress Dowager's favorite concubines.

She also has a high status, and she is the closest to serving the queen mother.When it comes to getting to know the Empress Dowager, of course it is Concubine Xi who knows more.

The emperor saw that she was thinking too much, so he waved his hand to comfort her: "Emperor Niang really likes the various fruit teas you make, I think you have similar tastes. It's okay, you just choose what you like and use it."

After he tasted the fresh fruit tea, his enthusiasm for fruit tea has faded, and he thinks it will be fine to drink it occasionally in midsummer every year.But the emperor found out that the queen mother really likes sweet and sour fruit tea and still drinks it to this day.When I came to this grassland, I also specially brought fresh fruits that are easy to preserve, and I want to continue to use fruit tea.

Lord Yongzheng ordered skewers in a trivial way that would be glared at at a northern barbecue stand.

He ordered the barbecue master Fan to bring three skewers for each of the grilled products that he is good at: one skewer only needs coarse salt to make the most primitive and simple seasoning; It is the spicy version with ten spices.

This is equivalent to that the master has to bake every kind of baked product with three thoughts, and only bake one if there is no kind.

Of course, this grill chef will not be dissatisfied because the emperor ordered too little to be picky. On the contrary, he is very happy: the emperor's requirements are careful, so he seems to value them.He brought four young apprentices in, according to the emperor's instructions, quickly prepared and baked them on the spot.

While the emperor was waiting for the barbecue, he signaled Jiang Heng to drink a bowl of whitebait egg soup with a little pepper and vinegar: "Eating directly baked and fatty things is not good for the stomach. Drink some soup first."

Jiang Heng drank half a bowl according to his words, then cherished the capacity of his stomach, guarded an empty silver plate in front of him, and waited for the barbecue.

Jiang Heng ate a lot of barbecue in his previous life, but because he was in the city, he had never eaten the freshest beef and mutton from the legendary Northwest or the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Yes, just eat the original aroma of meat.

This time I finally got it.

The best lamb on the prairie has no fishy smell, only pure meaty aroma, and the meat has a springy texture.

The barbecue master baked dozens of skewers at one go, and the little eunuch in the dining room introduced them.

Jiang Heng didn't know that there are so many parts of cattle and sheep that can be roasted, such as meat tendons, fat wings, and chest oil, each has its own taste and beauty.

When the emperor put down the skewers, he didn't let her eat more.Just say that you want to eat it in the future, so let people ask for it from the front dining room. After all, eating too much grilled meat is easy to get angry.He also talked about the earth atmosphere on the grassland, from Fengshui to health preservation, and Jiang Heng's eyes were dazzled by the chat.

As expected of Emperor Yongzheng who could criticize [-] characters in a day's excerpts, he really had something to say.Jiang Heng felt that the emperor sometimes looked like a veteran cadre for health preservation. It was hard to imagine that such an emperor would take pills in the future.

After Jiang Heng finished tasting, he saw that only the emperor and himself had eaten in the tent, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to know the taste of the Empress Dowager, there is no better one than Aunt Wu Ya. Would you like to invite Auntie to come and taste it?"

The emperor thought for a while: "In terms of familiarity with the Queen's mother's preferences, it is naturally Auntie Wuya who is the best. However, the Queen's mother never leaves her for a moment, so calling her here will inevitably let the Queen's mother know in advance, and it will be boring."

But remembering that Jiang Heng didn't eat any offal, it can be seen that people have their own taboos, so the emperor asked Su Peisheng to send the list of all skewered meats to Aunt Wu Ya, and asked her to pick out the ones that the Queen Mother usually dislikes. Meat, so as not to spoil the appetite of the Queen Mother that day.

After that, the emperor asked Jiang Heng to think of some side dishes and snacks with meat, and discussed how to arrange and serve the dishes that day so that the Queen Mother would be happier, so he let her go.

When Jiang Heng resigned and left, he had finished digesting the tired meat skewers, and thought: Sure enough, there is no free tasting, and he also needs to work part-time as a banquet planner.
