[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

The empress dowager and empress were also discolored.

Qiqige was a little slower, and said the word "Xuanhua Weisuo" in her mouth before she came back to her senses.

Xuanhua?Xuanhua!

Xuanhua is located in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, only a few hundred miles away from the capital. This is a battleground for military strategists and has important strategic significance for the capital.

One can imagine the meaning of the urgent letter from eight hundred miles from there.Kangxi didn't have any spare time to stay here talking and joking, so he hurried to the door, and at the same time ordered to Liang Jiugong beside him: "Immediately call all the ministers to the Qianqing Palace for discussion."

Liang Jiugong responded in a low voice, and ran away with his legs loose.

The previous joy and joy were completely shattered at this moment, and the original talking and laughing voices in the palace stopped abruptly.No matter how stupid people are, they also understand that the situation is wrong after seeing the anxious look of the emperor. Almost everyone has a little panic on their faces, and they can't stop looking around and whispering.

Baocheng also restrained his smile.

He put his hands on the window sill, looked at Khan Ama who was leaving in a hurry downstairs, and grunted in a low voice.

The queen gently took Baocheng into her arms.

She suppressed the worry and anxiety on her face, the queen thought that Baocheng was frightened by the sudden change of atmosphere, patted Baocheng's back lightly, and comforted softly: "Hey, don't worry, it's okay."

Baocheng snuggled into the arms of the queen.

He blinked and looked around quietly, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes.

After I became sensible, only the war in Galdan made Khan Ama quite attentive.Khan Amar was strategizing at the time, calm and indifferent, giving answers decisively and sharply as if he would never make a mistake, and he would never miss any large-scale event.

Don't expose all your thoughts to others.

Baocheng recalled the Khan Ama just now, three points of shock, three points of fear and four points of disbelief, which shows that what happened is definitely beyond Khan Ama's imagination.

what is that……?

Baocheng clung tightly to the queen's mother, babbling a little.

The emperor left, but the New Year's Eve dinner still had to be eaten.

Everyone lost their mood for watching a play, and returned to the Compassion Palace in twos and threes.

The whole banquet can be said to be tasteless.

The moment the empress dowager put down the chopsticks, all the concubines also stopped their hands, secretly relieved and got up to leave without saying a word.

The Empress Dowager did not intend to keep them either.

She nodded, and after a few light instructions, everyone went back.

Qiqige is also a member of the absent-minded.

She also tossed and turned on the bed, and went to the front hall early the next morning to wait for the news.

Equally anxious was the Queen.

She hugged the soft little Baocheng and looked out the door full of worry. Baocheng was still babbling and patting the queen with his little hands, as if trying to comfort her.

Soon the news came.

The person who sent the urgent letter eight hundred miles away was Princess Xinzhu, the daughter of Boluo, Prince Duanzhong who married far away in Monan. She claimed that her husband-in-law, Prince Chahar Burni, intended to rebel!

Burni is the descendant of Lindan Khan.

Lin Danhan was the opponent who competed with Huang Taiji in the Central Plains back then. He died of illness after being defeated by Dorgon.It is a pity that although he was loyal, he had no sons under his knees, and the title eventually went to his younger brother Abu Nai.

A Bu Nai is different from E Zhe.

He was rebellious and unconvinced by the Qing court at all. After becoming a king, he frequently wooed other tribes and strengthened military training. He was even arrested in the eighth year of Kangxi and imprisoned in Shengjing.

The title was handed over to Abu Nai's son Burni to inherit.

Compared with his rebellious father, Burni has been honest all these years. After marrying Princess Xinzhu, he is also harmonious and beautiful, and there is no difference in his intentions. No one expected that he would turn against him!

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the court.

To make matters worse, according to the courier's report, the entire Chahar Department was under martial law not long after he left, and it was the princess's personal guards who escorted him back to Beijing.If Princess Xinzhu's letter is correct, I'm afraid the rebellion of the Chahar tribe is imminent.

The Chahar Department is very close to the capital.

It's no wonder that Kangxi didn't even think about the New Year's banquet. Not only did he immediately recall all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to the palace, but he immediately sent personnel to investigate the situation.

Long Xi said warmly: "These are not the main points."

Before Qiqige could ask a question, Qishou answered with a wry smile: "The point is... we don't have any soldiers anymore."

Qiqige widened her eyes.

The queen and Baocheng were also very shocked. Baocheng nestled in the queen's arms, and could hear most of the things because of his young age.He naturally knew the big and small things in the Battle of San Francisco, they were just the contents of the document, and there was no cruelty and coldness when looking directly at them.

Baocheng was cultivated by Kangxi.

He quickly came to his senses, and immediately analyzed the situation - if Khan Ama made a mistake, the ending might be different.

Qi Shou explained in a low voice: "The battle on the front line is tight. Brother Huang has already sent all the soldiers he can dispatch to the front line. He even asked the Mongolian tribe for a lot of soldiers and horses. Now it may be very difficult for other tribes to intercept them."

Long Xi's expression was not very good either.

With a dark face, he said in a deep voice: "When the imperial brother recruited soldiers from the Mongolian tribe in the past few rounds, the Chahar tribe has been turning a deaf ear to it. I am afraid that Burni had something on his mind at the time, but he has been hiding it very well. Now seeing our soldiers After putting all his strength on the southern battlefield and not caring about Mongolia, he became rebellious."

Qiqige's mouth was dry.

After a while, she smiled wryly: "Then now...how?"

How does one fight a war?

Qi Shou and Long Xi also looked at each other, only silent.Qi Shou smiled wryly: "If I want my minister to say...the only thing I can do is give it a go."

Long Xi clenched her fists: "Maybe it can be seduced?"

Qi Shou shook his head: "Can the exact same trick still work?"

Asking him to see... I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Long Xi remained silent, obviously he was not sure.

The two brothers looked at each other with a lingering haze between their brows.

Qiqige wanted to speak but stopped, stopped talking but wanted to.

The hall was very quiet, and everyone's mood was generally heavy.

Kangxi in Qianqing Palace is also in a dilemma.

In the end, he still had the same idea as Longxi, trying to lure Burni in an attempt to quell the rebellion without fighting.

It's a pity that Burnie was not fooled.

In March of the 14th year of Kangxi, Kangxi issued an imperial edict to appoint Eza, the king of Xinjun, as the general of Fuyuan, and Qishou and Tuhai, who had just been named Prince Heshuotai, went to Monan to settle the sentence.

After repeated discussions, it was still decided to make the son of the empress the crown prince.

History has gone round and round, and it is back on the right track.

Baocheng, who was crowned prince for the second time, didn't have any special feelings about this. Perhaps it was because the queen's mother was still alive, not to mention the young palace people in her previous life, and even the most familiar mother Zhaojia had long since died. was sent out of the palace.

As for the palace servants who stay by my side, they are all carefully selected by Huang Mama and Huang Erniang. One by one, it is difficult to find someone with a bad mouth, let alone one who dares to encourage her behind her back. Those who provoke themselves and protect the relationship.

The palace is always cautious.

Qiqige's thoughts fell on the ordinary people who were caught in the war.Even if potatoes and corn appeared earlier and began to be promoted, even if the output of potatoes and corn exceeded everyone's expectations, as the war time prolongs, the number of victims and displaced persons will inevitably increase.

Qiqige invited the imperial doctors to inquire about the situation.

Then, together with the Queen, Longxi, Yongqian, and Gongxi, she teamed up to compile the post-disaster prevention and control content previously used in the earthquake and the Shandong epidemic into a book, and sent a large number of prints to government offices in various places on the front line to minimize post-disaster disasters. loss.

In terms of people's livelihood and medical care, Qiqige can give a solution.

But when she went to the front line to fight, she was blinded in terms of organizing troops.Apart from comforting Kangxi and cheering him up, Qiqige can only pray that everything will pass in peace.

The beginning of Kangxi's 14 years was extremely difficult.

However, things began to improve in the second half of the year. First, Prince Gong Chang Ning, who was far away in Heilongjiang, sent back a letter, saying that the border wars were temporarily suspended, and that the Raksha State wanted to talk about peace, and was willing to form a mission to go to the capital.

Then the news came from Eza, the king of Xinjun, that Burni had been captured.

Immediately after the news came back from the front line, Zheng Jing and Geng Jingzhong, who had come across the sea, had turned against each other. The two parties actually left the Qing court behind and fought on their own.

In the end, Fuquan also sent back a news that was both scary and surprising.

In June 14, Jingzhou experienced another flood.

Fuquan, Prince An Yue Le, and most of the Qing army were stationed in Jingzhou City at this time.

And Wu Sangui is occupying the upper reaches.

As long as the Jingzhou embankment is blown up, the raging flood will hit the troops of Prince An Yue Le and Prince Yu Fuquan directly, destroying three or four out of ten of the Qing army.

Of course, there are also the people in the entire Jingzhou city.

Fortunately, Wu Sangui's conscience has not yet died out. He flatly rejected the suggestion of his staff and did not choose to blow up the dam.

Fuquan and Prince An Yue Le got the news after the incident.

After reading this memorial, Kangxi, Qiqige and the Empress Dowager were all dripping with cold sweat.

Or maybe it was Wu Sangui's mistake.

With the end of the messy 14 years, the balance of victory finally began to tilt towards Kangxi.

First of all, Geng Jingzhong, who was besieged by Zheng Jun and Qing Jun left and right, couldn't take it anymore, and announced his surrender first, and then Shang Zhixin, who had already regretted his guts, couldn't wait to announce his surrender.

For a while, many people on the sidelines also chose to surrender.

Until the 16th year of Kangxi, the situation was very good, and the victory of the San Francisco Rebellion could already see the dawn.

Even Kangxi still has the mind to manage his younger brothers.

Longxi has a gentle personality and is not suitable for the battlefield. Kangxi named him Prince He Shuochun, and followed Jin Fu, the governor of the river, to Suqian to control the river.He is full of expectations for this: "Second brother has matured a lot since he came back from outside, maybe Long Xi can do it too!"

Qiqige is also very satisfied with this.

She nodded again and again: "It is good to learn to endure hardships and stand hard work, and to understand the sufferings of the people."

Of course, it is best to learn something on Zhihe.

Jin Fu is a well-known minister of river management who is well-known in history. If Longxi can learn some skills from him, he thinks his future official career will be much smoother.The more Qiqige thought about it, the more she felt that it was a good idea. She turned her head and talked to Longxi for a long time, basically to regard Jin Fu as a teacher and study and think hard.

Long Xi clenched his fists.

He was a little apprehensive and expectant, his eyes flickered: "I know, I will not miss this opportunity."

Qiqige took a deep look at Longxi.

Longxi's fate has already undergone a 180-degree change, and what I can do now is to push this child: "Well, Queen Mother believes that you can do it!"

After Longxi left Beijing, Kangxi changed his goal and set his sights on Yongqian again.

He put forward an idea: "My son intends to let Yongqian enter the Qin Tianjian and learn from Nan Huairen."

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

She objected: "The Ai family knows that Nan Huairen is capable, but why bother to let Yongqian go to the Qin Tianjian to study with him? Let Nan Huairen go to the study every day to be a master of western learning for Yonggan. "

Kangxi smiled: "That's not enough."

The Empress Dowager stared at him: "What does this mean?"

Kangxi explained earnestly: "Nan Huairen contributed a lot in this battle. The range and power of the red-clothed cannon he transformed surpassed those of the previous generations. He made great contributions in the battle of San Francisco."

"Hasn't the emperor already rewarded you?"

"I am satisfied with his feats and abilities. The only thing I am not satisfied with is that Nan Huairen is a missionary." Kangxi said calmly, "I only have a little understanding of the knowledge Nan Huairen used to transform the red-clothed cannon. "

Qiqige paused slightly as she twisted the beads.

She interjected, "You mean that Nan Huairen said some knowledge, but still kept some knowledge?"

Kangxi smiled.

Qiqige is thoughtful——Kangxi in history admired Western learning but was wary of Western learning. He can be said to be one of the Chinese who knew the most about Western learning in the seventeenth century.

Just like all the monarchs in the feudal era, Kangxi kept these extensive knowledge in his heart, and recorded it in a book, but he was unwilling to let more people know.

And so are most of the princes.

For example, the ninth elder brother Yinzhen pioneered the transliteration of Manchu in Latin, and it is still being used by later generations after hundreds of years, and the reason he researched... is for private officials, and has never been used for righteousness .

Emperor Yongzheng and several other princes also loved Western learning.

Without exception, they just regard Western learning as a dispensable leisure entertainment. These ideas undoubtedly have a huge relationship with Kangxi's attitude.

Yongqian is different.

He is the prince, the future prince, destined to be used elsewhere.

Thinking of this, Qiqige's eyes brightened.

She smiled and echoed: "Emperor's mother, I feel that the emperor's thoughts are not poignant."

"You clearly favor the emperor, and the emperor can say anything."

"Where is it?" Qiqige pouted, and she persuaded the Empress Dowager from another side: "Emperor Niang, Yongqian has sequelae caused by smallpox. Don't talk about going to the army to develop in the future, even the same as Longxi." It’s also extremely difficult to go outside to do business.”

"Then you can also go to the clan mansion."

"What's going on in the clan mansion every day." Qiqige almost rolled her eyes.Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to speak again, she quickly added: "Why don't we ask Yonggan what he thinks?"

Of course Yongqian didn't want to go to the clan mansion.

Regardless of the great power of the clan mansion, in fact, apart from some royal clan affairs, it is... the neighborhood committee of later generations?What I deal with every day are all trivial matters in the clan.

Yongqian chose another path almost without thinking.

He even added some code: "I am willing to go to Qin Tianjian and worship Nan Huairen as my teacher!"

Kangxi: ... ... It's not necessary, is it?

After being told by Yonggan, the Empress Dowager did not stop Kangxi's plan in an instant.She shook her head again and again, and pulled Yongqian earnestly: "Go to the Qintian Prison to have a look first, and if you feel bad, we can go elsewhere."
