When the Louvre meets the Forbidden City

After receiving a "secret report" with a melancholy and disappointed tone, First Class Zhongyonghou Jingnan General Wei Xiaobao began to send private letters to His Majesty regularly along with the battle reports ahead as before.

Kangxi was very satisfied with this.

It’s just that the style of these letters sent by Wei Xiaobao has changed a bit. They are no longer melancholy and bitter, and even less nasty words. They mainly describe some frontline battles:

"...Qingshui River is right in front of my eyes, and the river is rolling away... Thousands of soldiers are behind me, and the shouts shake the world... The blood in my whole body seems to be ignited. Passionate, rushing to kill, brave soldiers fight for victory war……"

Sometimes the letter also expresses some of his emotion:

"...This is a beautiful place, with green mountains and fertile fields, but it is a pity that the flames of war have dyed everything red...I firmly believe that we will win, and the rebels will surrender at our feet...We have advanced into Yunnan today , met the desperate resistance of the rebels,... the corpses were scattered all over the field, desolate and desolate. I searched with my generals, hoping to find a few soldiers who could be saved... Countless people died in battle, and I have no doubts about their fate. Deep compassion, but no pity, this is the fate that a soldier must face, and those who survive are lucky... I have deeply realized that it is my destiny to become a Dragon City Flying General, For this, the price of blood and fire will be paid..."

Kangxi felt something was wrong when he saw this, and muttered to himself, "Dragon City Flying General, Dragon City Flying General... Li Guang, fate..."

Suddenly he stood up with a sound of "Oops", and several officials who were on duty in front of the imperial court all looked up at him in fright, only to see Kangxi frowning, standing behind the dragon case, contemplating deeply.

Everyone didn't dare to interrupt, and waited for a while before hearing His Majesty say, "Send people to Xuan Mingzhu and Suo'etu to come to the palace to see me."

Both Mingzhu and Suo'etu were not on duty today, they were hurriedly called into the palace from their homes, they were a little confused about the situation, secretly thinking what is the emergency?

Entering Qianqing Palace, after kowtowing, I heard Kangxi say, "There is something in my heart that is difficult to decide. I am afraid that I will not consider it carefully. I call you two to discuss it again. Mingzhu, please tell me about the wars between Huguang and Sichuan and Guizhou in detail. Listen to me, and Suo'etu is also listening, if there are any omissions in what he said, you can fill in."

The two below looked at each other, secretly thinking that the emperor had already known these things, and suddenly wanted to study it again, did he want to make some big changes?

Sure enough, Kangxi heard that the two had arranged the generals in various places and deployed troops. After talking about the battle situation in the past half a month, he got up and walked slowly in the hall, rubbing his forehead with one hand, and whispered to himself, "Since that's the case, ...It shouldn't hurt to bring him back under the current situation..." After walking around for two laps, he stopped, looked at Mingzhu and Suo'etu, and asked, "I plan to let Jingnan General Wei Xiaobao return to the court immediately, what do you think? Who is better to send to fill his deficiency?"

Mingzhu was puzzled, "Your Majesty, the momentum of General Wei's attack on the rebels is just right, I'm afraid that General Wei will be transferred back at this time, I'm afraid..."

The following words don't need to be said explicitly, but they are also silent.Anyone who thinks about it can understand that such a government order suddenly issued by the imperial court may shake the morale of the army, and it is also a great injustice to General Wei himself. But he found someone to replace him, obviously to take credit for it.

Suo'etu also felt that it was wrong, so he politely persuaded him a few words.

He and Mingzhu were thinking the same thing, they both secretly thought, Your Majesty, you have always favored General Wei the most, and you always find a reason to reward him when you have nothing to do, what happened today?He is about to get a real contribution, and you should be happy to see him succeed. Why arrange someone to come back for him?Could it be that General Wei has recently discovered some treasonous crime secretly committed?So eager to replace him?

Kangxi waved his hands and said, "It's reasonable for me to do this, so please draw up an order!"

Thinking that it might be Wei Xiaobao who committed some major event abroad that caused Kangxi to act so abnormally, Mingzhu and Suo'etu didn't dare to say anything more, and drafted the imperial edict according to the order:

General Jin Jingnan's admiral Zhang Yong was the first-class Ashhani Hafan. During General Wei's return to the court, he handled the affairs of the army on his behalf; Leading two guards, rushed to the southwest, and took charge of the Manchu and Han soldiers in the three provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. Baylor Dong's and below were under control, in order to wipe out Wu Ni's roots.In the end, General Wei Xiaobao of Jingnan was summoned to set off on the same day and return to Beijing to report his duties.

Shaking his head secretly while drawing up the decree, these decrees are issued, and it is unknown how much disturbance will be caused in the court tomorrow.

Kangxi also knew that this move was easy to be misunderstood, but he was frightened by Wei Xiaobao's letter. The kid didn't know if it was because he spent too much time fighting and killing, and watched life and death too much, so he actually developed a pessimistic and world-weary attitude. emotions, claiming that Dragon City Flying General is his destiny.

That's great!Isn't Dragon City Flying General Li Guang the parachutist? Li Guang fought all his life and became famous because of the war. I mean, what happened to him in the army?

In fact, Wei Xiaobao didn't have any problems. He has fought countless battles, and his willpower on the battlefield is as firm as steel. He just accidentally used the wrong word again.

Before writing this letter, he was wandering in the camp, and he overheard a story about Li Guang, a parachutist of the Han Dynasty, told by a soldier with ink in his stomach. , was written into poems by many literati in later generations, and they mistakenly thought that this man was a victorious general in the East, who was admired by future generations, and felt that the name Dragon City Flying General was very bold, and it should be suitable for him. So I took this as a metaphor and wrote it into the letter to Kangxi.

The ghostwriter for General Wei has written too many weird things for him, so he has long been familiar with it. He copied everything General Wei said. Every time, he went in with his ears and out with his right hand. Even if, it never occurred to me to remind General Wei that it is not a good sign to compare himself to Li Guang of the Han Dynasty.

As a result, Wei Xiaobao saw Wen Youfang who had traveled thousands of miles to deliver the decree for the second time in just a few months.Seeing his smooth, beardless white face, he couldn't help laughing, "Eunuch Wen, how long has it been, why are you here again? Seeing your face now almost makes me feel kind."

Wen Youfang is not the most shrewd person, he can't stand out among the crowd of elites in the palace, but his body is very strong, so he is suitable for going out for a lot of running, and in addition, he usually does not go back empty-handed when he goes out to deliver decrees, so he is also willing to get this errand .

Inviting Wei Xiaobao to a place where no one was around, he respectfully said, "General Wei, there are some things that the emperor said are inconvenient to say, so let me tell you in private."

"You said."

"The emperor said that he will plan a strategy for the generals and win thousands of miles, so you can go back with peace of mind. Now that the battle against the rebellion has been fought to this point, there will be no big changes in the future. You go back to the capital to accompany your majesty to make suggestions. Winning thousands of miles is also the same credit, here you will be rewarded for your merits after winning the class, and you will be awarded the title of king and knight."

Wei Xiaobao raised his eyebrows, "He said that?"

Wen Youfang smiled all over his face, "Yes, His Majesty is sympathetic, and let General Wei go back to Beijing to recuperate early. This is really a great grace."

Wei Xiaobao ignored him, secretly wondering, with Kangxi's rigorous temperament, he should not have done such an outrageous thing, why?

Is it because you miss me so much! ?That's why I was in a hurry to let me go back to accompany him.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that this explanation made the most sense, and I couldn't help but feel happy. Although the little emperor is very poor at expressing words, he has only written two dry, ordinary letters to him for so long. Letters, but fortunately, he is an activist, and he has the courage to express his thoughts about himself with actions, which is enough to make people gratified.

He patted Wen Youfang on the shoulder, "I'm going to go back to Beijing immediately." Turning around, he went to look for Lieutenant Zhang Yong. Now that the battle situation is stable, Zhang Yong is a rare talent. It is enough to keep him here to direct the subsequent attack. up.

The next day they set off with people, General Wei took a few relatives to go first, and let Wen Youfang and his party walk slowly behind.

Wen Youfang heard the emperor's promise to General Wei to be crowned king and noble, and he thought he could understand his excitement of wanting to return to Beijing. He fought hard on the battlefield for the sake of high officials and rich salary. Now that the emperor has made the promise, naturally there is no need to continue to stay here Desperate on the battlefield, just go back directly.Wen Youfang just didn't understand why General Wei asked him to walk slowly behind when he was going back to Beijing and everyone happened to be going along the way.

It wasn't until he was on the road that he suddenly realized that General Wei thought he was too slow. His speed was as fast as six hundred miles, and he couldn't keep up anyway.

In desperation, he had no choice but to follow Mrs. Wei, A Ke, who also returned with him this time. Seeing that General Wei sent a very young and handsome leader to accompany his charming little wife, A Ke, Wen Youfang exerted all his strength. Nodding, this is the person who does the big things, and he can prioritize things. When the emperor says he wants to be summoned, he can leave such a beautiful lady behind and go alone. I'm afraid few men can do this alone.

It's just that General Wei is clear and neat in major matters, but a little confused in minor matters. He should choose an old and ugly general to escort a young and beautiful wife. If there is nothing to do, find such a handsome general. Don't you know that it is easy to cause trouble?

General Wei, who was clear about big things but confused about small things, rushed back to the capital within a few days after receiving the order. He didn't go back to the mansion to rest, and went directly to the palace to see Kangxi.

Kangxi was discussing matters with several courtiers in the upper study room, when Mi Sihan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden, and he was in charge of all the military supply dispatch, and he had to find a safe person to take over.

Suddenly, the eunuch outside the hall came in to report that General Jingnan Wei Xiaobao had returned and was begging to see him outside the hall. Kangxi was surprised, "He's back so soon!"

He hurriedly waved his hands and ordered the people in front of him to withdraw, "Go down and discuss first, who can take the post of Minister of the Household Department temporarily." Then he said to the little eunuch who came to report, "Quickly go and announce him in."

Not a moment later, Wei Xiaobao strode in. He was covered in dust and dust. He looked like he had just arrived, but he was full of energy. His big black and bright eyes were full of joy and enthusiasm, "Your Majesty, I'm back!"

Infected by his enthusiasm, Kangxi couldn't help but also smiled back, "Xiao Guizi, you won't succeed if you run away to death, why did you come back in just a few days."

Wei Xiaobao stepped forward, took his hand and put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, "I was very touched when I learned that His Majesty misses me very much. As long as I can see you sooner, it's worth running and killing a few horses."

"Xiao Guizi, you seem very happy?"

"Yeah." The battle is going smoothly, and the most important thing is that the love scene has also started to go smoothly. The proudest and most unruly lover of the little emperor has expressed his enthusiasm and desire for him to come back and get together with practical actions. Why is he not happy?

Kangxi suddenly turned his face down, let go of him and turned back to the back of the dragon case, took a piece of paper and slapped it heavily on the table, "Then explain to me, what's going on?!"
