Chapter 190 The Unruly Princess 40
Jianning came back from the palace, planning to go back to the bedroom to change clothes before going to see Kangxi, just in time for Kangxi to go down to court, and was bringing several ministers back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for discussion.
Because Yuqing Palace is located on the same horizontal line as Qianqing Palace, after all, it is not within the scope of the harem, so these ministers could see Jianning strolling around Yuqing Palace and Qianqing Palace as early as ten years ago. Not surprised.
Jianning saluted the emperor, and all the officials stopped to salute Princess Heshuo.
Kangxi looked tired and his expression was cold, because the things discussed at the court meeting were not going well, but he still cared about Jianning: "I'm back, it's not a peaceful and prosperous time anymore, don't go out of the palace anymore, even in the palace It must be accompanied by a bodyguard."
Although Kangxi knew that her maid had a high force value, seeing with her own eyes that there was only one person behind her, he still felt that the defense was too weak.
Jianning said: "The emperor's elder brother is talking about Wu Sangui's rebellion. I've heard about it too, but you can rest assured, I don't think the fire of rebellion will reach me who is far away in the capital."
Kangxi said: "Don't take it lightly. Now that half of the country has fallen, everything should be ready for war. The masters in the palace and the princes and ministers should wear soft armor and guards. This is exactly what Zhou Peigong you found suggested. Approved."
Zhou Peigong took a step forward, and made a deep bow to Jianning: "I have no eyes and no eyes, and I don't know Gege, so I ask Gege to come down. I can't repay Gege's kindness of rebuilding."
Jian Ning said: "I went out of the palace in low clothes, what's wrong with Mr. Zhou? There must be a relationship between Mr. Zhou and the emperor's brother. I just met you by chance, so that the monarch and his ministers met a few days earlier. .”
She said to Kangxi: "Although I met the man and brought him back to the palace, I don't agree with Mr. Zhou's statement that Wu Sangui's rebellion is like facing a big enemy."
"Oh? Why did you say that?" Kangxi was very interested in her words. Everyone he met today heard that Wu Sangui rebelled would be like facing a big enemy, but Jianning, who has always been prudent, said that there is no need to be like this.
Suo'etu, Wei Dongting and others behind the emperor were also very surprised.
Jianning said: "Because I know that Wu Sangui will be defeated, we will win, and none of his soldiers can reach the capital, so there is no need to scare our own people, thinking that he is going to kill them at the door."
Zhou Peigong said: "Sangege, I'm not alarmist. Wu Sangui led the army for decades. He fought both the South and the North. He fought both the Qing soldiers and the Han army. He never disarmed the bandits in Yunnan for so many years. He Our soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, and we must be prepared for the worst."
Jianning said: "The reason why I say this is not an unfounded judgment. First of all, it has been 30 years since the Qing army entered the customs, and ethnic conflicts have long been reduced to secondary: Wu Sangui used the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, but he was just trying to get away from the Qing Dynasty. Actually. Moreover, since Wu Sangui came to the Qing Dynasty, he vowed to "loyalty to the new dynasty" at the moment of the most acute conflict between the two ethnic groups, and tried his best to suppress the anti-Qing rebels everywhere, but now he wants to If he wants to "anti-Qing and restore the Ming", he will not get the support of the Han people, so I say he has become a tree without a source."
Mingzhu said: "That's right, I very much agree with San Gege's point of view. Wu Sangui's rebellion is based on an unknown teacher, and it is more solid proof that he is a traitor. His foothold is not stable, how can it last long!"
Jianning continued: "Secondly, although the emperor's elder brother is young, he has outstanding political talents: as early as the beginning of preparing to withdraw from the domain, he had already prepared for the possible consequences of the withdrawal of the domain. Wu Sangui's rebellion this time was unexpected. Within, it's just that the time is going up faster, but it's not impossible to handle..."
All the ministers present thought: Yes, after hearing the news, the emperor did not panic, but was the most composed.He first issued an edict to the Pingnan and Jingnan vassals, telling them that the imperial court would not withdraw twice, and asked them not to send troops with Wu Sangui, and the imperial court would allow them to continue to be the king of Pingnan and Jingnan, so as to isolate Wu Sangui politically .Then, he quickly ordered the arrest of Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong and his accomplices, and the Ministry of Punishment publicly discussed and punished them in order to combat Wu Sangui's arrogance and consolidate the rear.And the emperor had long ago asked the Minister of the Household Department to prepare military pay and food to deal with the war so as to supply the military supplies.
Now that I think about it, these measures taken by the emperor are the foundation of stabilizing the hearts of the court.
Kangxi looked at her with bright eyes, only to hear Jianning continue: "Third, although Wu Sangui's military strength is strong, he has no strategic vision. This can be seen from his early battles, so I won't give examples one by one. , you only need to go to the materials of the Ministry of Officials to look up his life and campaigns to get a little understanding. If he fights against a country with his own strength, he is doomed to lose."
She looked at the people who were deep in thought, and said: "Although the other party has enough soldiers and food, I think that with the emperor and ministers of the Qing Dynasty working together as one, and the rebel army without any other equals, this theory can be settled in at most three years. If there is one more day, The common people will suffer one more day of war."
These words made everyone's blood boil, and they urgently wanted to draw up a strategy to calm the chaos and implement it as soon as possible, so that the people of the world would suffer less from the chaos of war.
While their monarchs and ministers were immersed in the ambition and pride of how to deal with the rebels, Jianning suddenly asked the emperor: "So, brother emperor, can I not be worthy of a guard?"
Kangxi said at this time: "No, we can despise the enemy strategically, but we can't despise the enemy on any practical issue. You still need to be equipped with guards, and I don't restrict you from going out of the palace."
Adult princes can go out of the palace, but adult princesses do not have this privilege, let alone Jianning is still a minor, such an order has already opened the door for Jianning to enter and exit the palace.After returning from the southern tour, knowing that she could survive outside the palace and even under the hands of the enemy for such a long time, the emperor agreed with her to go out of the palace occasionally.
Jian Ning was blessed, with a brisk expression on his face: "Thank you, Brother Emperor, by the way, I got a good thing when I left the palace this time, and I want to show Brother Emperor."
Suo'etu and other senior ministers thought to themselves: When did these three characters have a child's heart, and the emperor will play with her? !
But I didn't expect Kangxi to ask patiently: "Is it okay to show me later when I finish my work today?"
Suo'etu couldn't help but click his tongue, thinking to himself, so the old, dignified and majestic emperor in front of his courtiers has this appearance in front of his relatives.Then his own daughter, Empress Zhonggong, enjoyed a blessing.He didn't know that the emperor's patience was exclusive to Sangege, honed from a young age.
But Jianning didn't accept as soon as the ministers thought he was happy, but pulled Kangxi away, saying as he walked, "I won't delay the emperor's brother for a long time."
All the ministers looked at each other, Wei Dongting and Tu Hai were both guards, they knew the way their brother and sister get along, of course they followed the emperor wherever he went.
Mingzhu said to the remaining few people: "Let's go, the emperor is not here, who will listen to the discussion, let's follow to see!"
Jianning dragged Kangxi towards the open area of the palace.There is a meadow not far from the outskirts of Beijing, and there are many dignitaries in Beijing playing eagles, so big birds fly over the Forbidden City from time to time.
Kangxi wondered: "What exactly do you want me to see? Why did you come to the square outside the main hall?"
Jianning said: "Don't be impatient, you will be fine soon." She observed the sky, and finally saw a bird flying from afar, so she raised her hand to a big bird flying high in the sky. The firecracker given by Tang Ruowang.
Kangxi laughed and said: "Don't make trouble, you can't hit it, I know you can aim right, but it's too far away, no firecracker can hit it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a bang. Several ministers who came after saw the movement of Sange and heard the sound. They subconsciously looked up to the sky and saw a bird flying very far and high in response. fell down.
Tu Hai quickly walked over and picked up the bird: "Your Majesty, it's a sea dongqing. It was hit three times, and only its wings were hurt."
Kangxi didn't pay much attention to the bird, just glanced at it, then looked back and forth at the firecracker that Jianning handed over, playing with it in his hands, his eyes changing: "Where did this come from?"
Jianning took the injured bird from Tuhai's hands. Although it was frightened, it still did not change its raptor nature and kept struggling in Tuhai's hands.
After Jianning took it, Tuhai didn't see clearly what technique she was using, only saw that she patted the bird's back a few times, and the bird gradually calmed down.
Jian Ning said: "I went to the church in Xuanwu Gate today. It was developed by Father Tang. He improved the composition of the gunpowder used for propulsion. Since he can change small objects, the cannon should not be a problem."
Kangxi looked at her with burning eyes when he heard the words: "Really?"
Jian Ning nodded and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, it just takes time, but Tang Ruowang doesn't have any cannon samples to study."
Kangxi shouted: "Pearl!"
Mingzhu hurried forward: "The servant is here."
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "The military department that Tang Ruowang wants to research will fully cooperate with him. Within three months, I will see satisfactory results!"
Mingzhu holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, so he has also studied the firearms stored in the Ministry of War. Seeing the power of the firecrackers displayed by Sangege today, he knew that the power of this thing was much stronger than that of the Ministry of War. He did not dare to neglect, and immediately took it Purpose.
Kangxi thought for a while and then said, "Mingzhu still has a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to watch the whole process. The matter of developing new firearms is left to Jianning and Tang Ruowang. You and your Ministry of War will fully cooperate with what is needed."
When Jianning heard that there was something to do, he naturally wouldn't shirk it, and said solemnly: "Chenmei will definitely not let the emperor's brother down."
At this time, Suo'etu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, think twice, if the powerful firearms and cannons can be successfully developed, it will be very beneficial to the battle situation. This matter is very important. After all, San Gege is a woman, how can she provoke such a big one?" It's a heavy burden."
Jianning looked at him, but before he spoke, Kangxi said, "Suo'etu, your ancestors were also veterans who entered the customs from the dragon. How can you learn the pettiness of those Han officials? What's wrong with the girls? We love the girls from the Xinjueluo family. It’s not someone who only hides in the room and embroiders, or a husband and a child.”
Jianning said: "Yes, I am also willing to contribute to this extraordinary period."
Zhou Peigong said at this time: "The only Weichen here is the Hanchen, but the Weichen is not petty. I think San Gege can do it."
Although it was not more than a day since I knew her, Zhou Peigong listened to her words and deeds, listened to her talking and commenting on how Wu Sangui must be defeated, and saw her raising his gun and shooting into the air without hesitation.Zhou Peigong would not underestimate the little Princess in front of him at all, but felt that many men could not compare to her.
Kangxi laughed loudly, and finally relieved the suffocation in his chest, "Okay, Zhou Peigong is not petty, and Suo'etu should not be compared to others, let's go, go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to discuss matters!"
There is a record in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "The most handsome one carved out of Liaodong is called Costinus." Costinus is a large raptor with a strong body weight.Females are larger than males and can weigh up to six kilograms.It is about one meter tall, and its wings are more than two meters long.
The one Jianning shot had white feathers on the head with brown spots, dark gray body, brownish red breast and pure white tail.Its beak and claws are like iron hooks. It is no more than two feet long and weighs only three catties. It is obviously a little guy. In its tribe, it is still a young bird, but it is already bigger than ordinary birds. Much more.
The grown-up Haidongqing can catch swans, wild ducks, rabbits, roe deer and other animals.It is called "Xiongkulu" in Manchu, which means the highest and fastest flying bird in the world. It is said that only one "Haidongqing" comes out of [-] eagles.
After Jianning took it back, he sprinkled medicine on the wound on its wing and tied it with a bandage. It should heal within ten days and a half.
Boiling eagles is a very labor-intensive task. Eagles that are captured will not eat anything unless they are pushed to the limit. They would rather starve to death than bend their backs.
But this little eagle was very practical. It didn't take Jian Ning to bother, so he drank water and ate food obediently, but it only ate what Jian Ning handed over to him.It's not because it's too spiritual, but because creatures in nature understand the law of the weak and the strong. When Jian Ning pressed his hand on the eagle's back, it made the bird at the top of the food chain surrender. Naturally, he would listen. at her mercy.
Seeing that Jianning was going to raise the little eagle, Mo Xiang said, "Young servant, let's find a cage. There is a cage made of gold in the storeroom. It is so beautiful that it fits in the gege room. "
Jian Ning said: "There is no need for a cage. The eagle is a free creature. If it wants to fly away after it recovers from its injuries, it can fly away at any time. It is better to find a bigger cage."
After the little eagle was settled, Jianning didn't stay idle, but went to the Ministry of War. She asked people to find out all the information on firearms and ammunition, and read it quickly.
From the second day on, Tang Ruowang was also brought to the Ministry of War. He needed something for him to negotiate with the officials in charge of equipment.Tang Ruowang not only came by himself, but also brought his trusted student Nan Huairen who could help him with his research.
Jianning knows that he is not that kind of technical talent, but uses his own identity to ensure that they can have what they want, and guarantee their experimental environment.
As a result, Jianning frequently went out of the palace, joined the military department or other places, and many people knew that Sangege, like Wangsun Baylor, started to work for the emperor.
The country is in an eventful season, civil and military officials are all busy with their own affairs, all of which are full of things, so naturally no one will stand up and say anything.Besides, Prime Minister Suo had already mentioned the matter of San Gege's business affairs. He was the Prime Minister and the head of the country, and he was dismissed by the emperor. Who would dare to stroke the tiger's beard again.What's more, San Gege only concentrates on studying firearms with Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen and others, and never dictates to the Ministry of War and other affairs of the various ministries.
Therefore, all the ministers are still doing their own things, and there is no ripple in the court.
But it's different in the harem. There was such a strange creature in the palace that even the queen couldn't sit still.
Da Gege told the empress about the matter in a more eloquent way: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is a rule set by the ancestors. If the empress's first control of the harem is disturbed by her, the people in the palace don't know what to think. Others should think that the Empress is not wise."
The queen hesitated and said: "But Sangege didn't act privately, but following the emperor's will."
The queen and the emperor are newlyweds, she doesn't want to disobey the emperor and make him unhappy, it's too late to please the emperor at this time.But as Da Gege said, she was in charge of the harem for the first time. In this palace, there are the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and several concubines. The new queen needs to stand up in front of everyone in the palace.And Sange, who is deeply loved by the emperor, is the best candidate for the target.
Da Gege said again: "Master Suo also disagrees with this matter. I heard that he told the emperor at that time. However, the emperor did not listen to Lord Suo's opinion at that time."
The queen frowned and said: "Even my father doesn't agree? This is also expected. For him, women's involvement in politics is like a fantasy."
Because when she was in her boudoir, Queen Hesheli had friendship with Da Gege, and the two had long been friends.Now she has become an aunt. In this palace, the queen completely controls the palace affairs and has become a very noble person. Da Gege deliberately curry favor and the two of them watch over and help each other, so the queen regards her as one of her own, and everything will be done to Da Gege. He said in front that he would not be too guarded against her.
Da Gege said: "San Gege has done this kind of outrageous thing not once or twice. Relying on the emperor's favor, she is independent in this palace and never takes others seriously. Don't say anything else, you Just by looking at the place where she lives, you can see how spoiled the emperor is to her!" After saying that, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
When the Queen heard this, she had to take it seriously.San Gege is indeed too special in this palace, so special that it will threaten her majesty as the queen of the middle palace, if this is the case, she will have to take action.
The queen pondered and said: "I know about this matter, and I have to think it over again. Duan Min, you should go back first."
Seeing that the queen had been persuaded, Da Gege felt a little proud. Since the last incident, she and San Gege's Liang Zi were finally married.
Da Gege felt that if he did not take action against Jianning, Jianning would not make him feel better.The last time she wanted to make things difficult in front of the Empress Dowager, she forced San Gege to apologize to her.But she didn't know that the three-compartment core at that time was filled with fake princesses and real emperors!
So all of her making things difficult were actually suffered by Emperor Kangxi. Kangxi swallowed his humiliation and accepted the making things come from Da Gege, but since then, his perception of her has become very bad.Once, Da Gege did something wrong, Kangxi reprimanded her in public, which made her lose face, so everyone in the palace knew that Da Gege was very unsacred.
From Da Gege Duanmin's point of view, the emperor obviously favored Jianning, so he found an opportunity to embarrass himself and vent his anger on her.In this way, he felt that Jianning was the culprit, so Da Gege held a grudge against her even more.
The queen told Da Gege that she had to think about it, and she really thought about it, so she decided to talk to Concubine Jing first.After all, this concubine is San Gege's mother-in-law and the elder of the queen. If Concubine Jing can persuade San Gege to stop this matter, she will save time and effort as a queen, and will not take the credit of the queen. He Le And not for it.
So the queen, who had hardly been to the Zhongcui Palace, condescendingly stepped into the Zhongcui Palace, which she usually dismissed.The queen thought that as long as she explained her intentions, she would get the fawning and support of Concubine Jing, but unexpectedly, Concubine Jing, a person who knows nothing about current affairs, even the queen came to the door in person, and her attitude was actually lukewarm.
Concubine Jing said flatly: "Sangege never asks my opinion on what San Gege wants to do, and I never interfere. Although we are mother and daughter, we are not qualified to control each other's decisions. We will disappoint the queen." .”
The queen was surprised and said: "The only girl in the palace is Sangege who is different. She always runs outside the palace. Does Concubine Jing not care about Sangege's reputation and let her do whatever she wants?"
Concubine Jing said indifferently: "The child has grown up and has her own judgment. I won't take care of it. If the Queen has any dissatisfaction or warnings against her, you can go to her directly and tell her. If she is willing to listen to you, it's your fault." The fate of two people."
Although Concubine Jing does not leave her home, she can guess a little about the queen's thoughts.But she is also really helpless.
Before Jianning was three years old, she was taken care of by a nanny and a court lady.Since she was three years old, she has not lived in the same house with her. It is no exaggeration to say that Jianning was brought up by her third brother who is now the emperor.
Concubine Jing didn't even worry about the three grids of porridge, food, clothes, and bed. The more she dragged the child, the bigger it was. It would be too late to worry about it until now.Concubine Jing, who was not interested in everything at all, felt that Sangege didn't need to take care of herself at all, so she devoted herself even more to the Buddha.
Perhaps except that Jianning was at a critical moment, nothing else was enough to move the birth mother.
The empress empress got a bad nose at Concubine Jing, and secretly scolded Concubine Jing for not knowing how to flatter her!
In this way, the queen can only go directly to San Gege.Although it was the emperor's order that Sangege was asked to do the job, the queen couldn't find the emperor directly, saying that it was wrong for him to do so.
If the empress really does this, I am afraid that she, the empress, will fall out of favor in front of the emperor, so for the present plan, the only way is to let San Gege retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Jianning came to Yuqing Palace without saying hello to the queen, a little surprised, but he still stepped forward to salute: "Chenmei has seen the queen."
The queen didn't shout, but kept a stern face, walked past Jianning, walked to the main seat and sat down without saying a word.
Jian Ning murmured in her heart, seeing that the empress's attitude seemed to be unkind to the visitor, as if she had asked a teacher to ask for a crime, but she asked herself that she had not offended her, and she had always been polite when she met her in the palace a few times. What about offending the empress?
The queen is also looking at her. Although this Gege is still young, she has a beautiful appearance and has begun to show her beauty. She has been the most noble girl in the palace for a long time. She can achieve what she has said. A kind of pride, but even more extraordinary bearing.No wonder Da Gege hated her when he mentioned her. Apart from his dissatisfaction with her, jealousy must also play a part in it.
The queen was immersed in her own thoughts, and it took a long time for Jianning to salute unknowingly.Mo Ju and Mo Xiang behind Jianning were very upset. What does this empress mean?Running to their Yuqing Palace to come to Liwei, they actually kept them bowing for so long!
Mo Ju winked at the palace man at the door, the palace man understood, and quietly left the palace gate.
Jianning naturally saw the small movements of his maid, but he didn't stop him. He frowned and said, "I don't know why the empress came to the door?"
The queen came back to her senses and said unhurriedly, "Get up."
Jianning straightened up with a calm face, as if he was not the one who was embarrassed before, but calmly said: "What is the empress's intention?"
Facing her who was so calm, the queen didn't have the nerve to speak. She came up to criticize, but said: "This Yuqing Palace in Sangege, I have never been to this palace. If you want to visit, Sangege won't welcome you, right?"
Jianning said: "The empress is the mother of the country and the lord of the six palaces. She is naturally flattered to be able to set foot in my little Yuqing Palace. How could she not welcome her? It's just that the empress came at an inconvenient time today. I have something to do and I am about to go out, how about my sister-in-law invite your mother over to drink some tea another day?"
When the queen heard that she was going out, she fell in love with her and took the opportunity to ask: "Where are you going? Are you going out of the palace? Do you know that all the princesses will not go out of the palace easily," Shengong Wangyue, wait for words In the boudoir', that's what Royal Gege should look like."
Seeing that San Gege didn't show dissatisfaction or disapproval, she continued to persuade her earnestly, "You are still young, and you don't know the stakes. Although the civil and military officials don't say anything, but for a leader like you Errands, Gege who shows his face outside will not look very good. When you reach the age where you can negotiate marriage, if you are rejected by the important officials, where will the royal family face! In that case, you can only marry you to Mongolia, where winter in Mongolia Not to mention the world of ice and snow, and living the most primitive life of drinking blood, how can you, a delicate little girl, bear it, you have to understand, this palace is only for your own good to tell you these things..."
Jianning originally thought that the queen would leave when she came to take a look, but she didn't expect that she had no intention of leaving. Instead, she kept talking more and more. Jianning looked at the time and had to interrupt: "Is the queen's mouth dry? Please Use a little tea, if you have any advice you haven't finished, can you wait for me to come back, I really have something to do today, the emperor's brother may also go there, I don't want to keep them waiting for a long time."
Hearing this, the empress felt angry: "How dare you use the emperor to suppress me! The emperor is my husband, so naturally he won't help outsiders. As Ge Ge, you should be what Ge Ge should be! Run out every day , Abandoning shame is what a wild girl would do, not to mention the royal family, even the daughters of rich families would not do this!"
A voice came from the direction of the gate: "Why didn't I know when I raised Jianning to be a wild girl? How can a daughter of the royal family be judged by the standards of ordinary people! The Queen's words are too one-sided Bar!"
The queen was startled, and looked towards the door, and sure enough, she saw the emperor striding in with a dark face. She didn't know when he had arrived, and he didn't know how long he had been listening. There is no word that the emperor is coming.
Everyone rushed to pay their respects to the emperor, especially the empress and her party, because there were several empresses in the palace at the same time, so every time they picked up the driver in the empress' palace, they seemed to have won a battle, full of fear and excitement.
Jianning wasn't too surprised by Kangxi's arrival, but just gave Mo Ju and Mo Xiang a warning look, telling them not to get carried away by being discovered or hated.
The queen said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really planning for Sangege, for the sake of the royal family's dignity, and has no selfish intentions. Please let the emperor know."
If it was in private, after returning to the harem after a busy day's work, maybe the emperor would comfort the queen with kind words, but this is after all in Yuqing Palace, and there are many civil and military ministers waiting for them to see the experimental results.
Today the emperor gathered ministers of civil and military affairs to look at Tang Ruowang's experimental results in the back hill of the Forbidden City.There is also a large school field in the Forbidden City, why not experiment in the palace, this is Tang Ruowang's strong request.
Seeing how hard their research was, Kangxi naturally agreed to such a trivial matter, and he was just waiting in the Qianqing Palace, ready to go to Houshan with Jianning, seeing that she was late, he didn't wait for her, but waited for Yu The little eunuch in Qing Palace said that the empress was in Yuqing Palace, and that Princess might not be able to leave for a while, so Kangxi decided to come and have a look in person.
Kangxi originally planned to come personally to invite San Gege and the Queen to go together, but he didn't expect to hear these remarks, and changed his mind immediately.
Looking at it now, with the queen's obstinacy, even if she saw some amazing power, she would not feel that Jianning had any credit, and would still persuade her to stay in her boudoir obediently.
Facing the queen's soft-spoken explanation, Kangxi just said: "The queen should go back to the palace first, and I will visit you when I am free."
He looked at Jianning: "What are you doing in a daze? What time is it? The experiment should have started long ago! Come with me to the back mountain."
The empress was unfavorable, her lobbying for Jianning hadn't worked out, and she was humiliated by the emperor who always spoke softly to her. The empress only felt her face burning hot, so she could only grit her teeth: "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully."
Seeing this situation, the servants behind the queen didn't dare to show their anger. The queen was so shameless that they were afraid that the queen would accidentally vent her anger on them.
Kangxi and Jianning said as they walked: "You don't have to take what the queen said to heart. I didn't see that the ancestors didn't move, and they just acquiesced in what we did. I will find something for you to do. It's not a big deal. The queen can't wait He seemed to run out to stop him, but he was still too young, and wanted to accomplish a few things in the palace so that he could sit firmly in the back seat."
Kangxi has a deep research on the way of the emperor, so he naturally knows the thoughts of some people in the palace.Concubines fought openly and covertly, and they thought they were good at it. In fact, for a sage monarch like Kangxi, the movements of courtiers must be controlled, let alone his own harem.
Jian Ning said: "I understand Empress Empress very well, what she said is not completely unreasonable, so I don't take it to heart."
Kangxi said: "Then are you going to give up? Are you going to be the strict princess that the queen said?"
Jianning took it for granted, "Of course not, what she says is her freedom, and what I do is my freedom, isn't it?" No matter what others say, as long as she thinks it is right, she will still go her own way .
Kangxi couldn't help but chuckled: "I knew you couldn't listen to what you said to her, and I didn't misread you."
Hearing this, Jianning stomped his feet angrily: "What do you mean! It's not a compliment at all, it's clearly saying that I'm stubborn, so don't listen to people's advice!"
She has always been polite to people she doesn't know well, and she is always annoyed when she should be annoyed with people she is close to, no matter what his status is.
Mo Ju and Mo Xiang, who followed behind, couldn't help but think in her heart: We Ge Ge are a coward, the queen came here to make noise and accuse so many people for no reason, and she didn't reply, but the emperor only said a few words, she It's about to blow up.
Jianning didn't know that his two court ladies were going to worry about him.
Before he had gone far, a eunuch rushed to report: "Report to the emperor, the envoy of Tsarist Russia has arrived and is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Kangxi froze for a moment, then asked casually, "What time is it?"
The eunuch said: "Going back to the emperor, it is already the last time."
Only then did Kangxi say "oh", "The scheduled time to meet the Russian envoys has arrived, and it's not good to keep them waiting. You can tell Tang Ruowang and them to postpone the test."
Jianning said with some guilt: "It's all my fault for missing the hour." She had known for a long time that Kangxi's daily office hours were clearly divided, and the schedule was full. If one thing was delayed, the others would also be affected. .
Kangxi said: "How can I blame you, no one thought that the queen would suddenly come and stumble, let's go, first go to meet the envoys of Tsarist Russia, and let the ministers wait a little longer."
Gorny was an envoy sent by Tsarist Russia and the most powerful general under the tsarist seat. He is now wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he came to see Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty with a document written by Peter the Great himself.
Kangxi would not naively think that the Tsarist Russian envoys who arrived in Beijing at this time were here to be good-neighborly and friendly.Chaos broke out in the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui's army had already attacked the Jingxiang area.
This emissary must have brought some order from the Russian tsar, and came here with a keen eye. The Russian barbarians plundered the northern border, and they had long regarded the Heilongjiang area as their pocket.
Kangxi received him in the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Jianning stood behind him.
Gorney didn't feel at all restrained towards Kangxi who was aloof. After the etiquette, he explained the purpose of coming straight to the point and read out Peter the Great's handwriting: "Your Majesty the Qing Emperor, Russia is the greatest country in the world. Around Russia Many monarchs have led their ministers to surrender to His Majesty the Tsar. I hope that the monarchs of the Qing Dynasty will take the initiative to make peace with His Majesty the Tsar, become ministers, open the borders, and return the lands of Sauron, Hezhe, and Chigor in the Heilongjiang River Basin to Russia."
Hearing this arrogant announcement, Kangxi smiled instead of anger, "Go back and tell you that Peter, he is the emperor, and I am also the emperor. The Qing Dynasty does not want to occupy every plant and tree in Tsarist Russia, but Tsarist Russia also does not want to occupy half an inch of my Qing Dynasty." Land. Up and down the Heilongjiang River, we will not give up any rivers, streams, sand, or rocks. If you dare to encroach on them, our Qing Dynasty has millions of soldiers waiting for you, and we are not afraid to fight you."
Gorney said incredulously: "Your Majesty, as far as we know, the Qing Dynasty is only powerful on the surface, but in fact it has many enemies. The Han people do not accept the rule of the Manchus. There are already three generals in your Southwest Shu who have rebelled! Under such circumstances, if you still think about going to war with Russia, aren’t you afraid of destroying the country?”
Kangxi smiled calmly and said: "I don't deny the small group of rebels in the southwest, but they will be wiped out soon. After all, the Qing Dynasty is too vast, how can you expect any place to be safe and secure?" , The most prosperous era and the most prosperous dynasty will also have rebellions, this is inevitable, just like walking through the grass, there will always be a small bug on the boots occasionally."
Gorney was obviously surprised by Kangxi's attitude. Just as he was hesitating, Jianning said: "I heard that the firearms of the Raksha Kingdom are very powerful. The Qing Dynasty just made a few cannons recently. Brother Emperor, why don't we Would you like the ambassador to comment and enlighten me?"
Kangxi just hesitated for a moment, feeling that Jianning has always been reliable, and since she spoke, she should be sure that she can restrain this red-haired boy.
Kangxi said: "Then please honor the ambassador."
Gorney thought to himself: This princess is right. The firearms of Tsarist Russia are indeed very powerful. Relying on powerful weapons, the army of Tsarist Russia has always been invincible.
Hearing that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty invited him to take a look at the firearms developed by his own country, Gorni dismissed it in his heart, feeling that he was right
Because Yuqing Palace is located on the same horizontal line as Qianqing Palace, after all, it is not within the scope of the harem, so these ministers could see Jianning strolling around Yuqing Palace and Qianqing Palace as early as ten years ago. Not surprised.
Jianning saluted the emperor, and all the officials stopped to salute Princess Heshuo.
Kangxi looked tired and his expression was cold, because the things discussed at the court meeting were not going well, but he still cared about Jianning: "I'm back, it's not a peaceful and prosperous time anymore, don't go out of the palace anymore, even in the palace It must be accompanied by a bodyguard."
Although Kangxi knew that her maid had a high force value, seeing with her own eyes that there was only one person behind her, he still felt that the defense was too weak.
Jianning said: "The emperor's elder brother is talking about Wu Sangui's rebellion. I've heard about it too, but you can rest assured, I don't think the fire of rebellion will reach me who is far away in the capital."
Kangxi said: "Don't take it lightly. Now that half of the country has fallen, everything should be ready for war. The masters in the palace and the princes and ministers should wear soft armor and guards. This is exactly what Zhou Peigong you found suggested. Approved."
Zhou Peigong took a step forward, and made a deep bow to Jianning: "I have no eyes and no eyes, and I don't know Gege, so I ask Gege to come down. I can't repay Gege's kindness of rebuilding."
Jian Ning said: "I went out of the palace in low clothes, what's wrong with Mr. Zhou? There must be a relationship between Mr. Zhou and the emperor's brother. I just met you by chance, so that the monarch and his ministers met a few days earlier. .”
She said to Kangxi: "Although I met the man and brought him back to the palace, I don't agree with Mr. Zhou's statement that Wu Sangui's rebellion is like facing a big enemy."
"Oh? Why did you say that?" Kangxi was very interested in her words. Everyone he met today heard that Wu Sangui rebelled would be like facing a big enemy, but Jianning, who has always been prudent, said that there is no need to be like this.
Suo'etu, Wei Dongting and others behind the emperor were also very surprised.
Jianning said: "Because I know that Wu Sangui will be defeated, we will win, and none of his soldiers can reach the capital, so there is no need to scare our own people, thinking that he is going to kill them at the door."
Zhou Peigong said: "Sangege, I'm not alarmist. Wu Sangui led the army for decades. He fought both the South and the North. He fought both the Qing soldiers and the Han army. He never disarmed the bandits in Yunnan for so many years. He Our soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, and we must be prepared for the worst."
Jianning said: "The reason why I say this is not an unfounded judgment. First of all, it has been 30 years since the Qing army entered the customs, and ethnic conflicts have long been reduced to secondary: Wu Sangui used the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, but he was just trying to get away from the Qing Dynasty. Actually. Moreover, since Wu Sangui came to the Qing Dynasty, he vowed to "loyalty to the new dynasty" at the moment of the most acute conflict between the two ethnic groups, and tried his best to suppress the anti-Qing rebels everywhere, but now he wants to If he wants to "anti-Qing and restore the Ming", he will not get the support of the Han people, so I say he has become a tree without a source."
Mingzhu said: "That's right, I very much agree with San Gege's point of view. Wu Sangui's rebellion is based on an unknown teacher, and it is more solid proof that he is a traitor. His foothold is not stable, how can it last long!"
Jianning continued: "Secondly, although the emperor's elder brother is young, he has outstanding political talents: as early as the beginning of preparing to withdraw from the domain, he had already prepared for the possible consequences of the withdrawal of the domain. Wu Sangui's rebellion this time was unexpected. Within, it's just that the time is going up faster, but it's not impossible to handle..."
All the ministers present thought: Yes, after hearing the news, the emperor did not panic, but was the most composed.He first issued an edict to the Pingnan and Jingnan vassals, telling them that the imperial court would not withdraw twice, and asked them not to send troops with Wu Sangui, and the imperial court would allow them to continue to be the king of Pingnan and Jingnan, so as to isolate Wu Sangui politically .Then, he quickly ordered the arrest of Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong and his accomplices, and the Ministry of Punishment publicly discussed and punished them in order to combat Wu Sangui's arrogance and consolidate the rear.And the emperor had long ago asked the Minister of the Household Department to prepare military pay and food to deal with the war so as to supply the military supplies.
Now that I think about it, these measures taken by the emperor are the foundation of stabilizing the hearts of the court.
Kangxi looked at her with bright eyes, only to hear Jianning continue: "Third, although Wu Sangui's military strength is strong, he has no strategic vision. This can be seen from his early battles, so I won't give examples one by one. , you only need to go to the materials of the Ministry of Officials to look up his life and campaigns to get a little understanding. If he fights against a country with his own strength, he is doomed to lose."
She looked at the people who were deep in thought, and said: "Although the other party has enough soldiers and food, I think that with the emperor and ministers of the Qing Dynasty working together as one, and the rebel army without any other equals, this theory can be settled in at most three years. If there is one more day, The common people will suffer one more day of war."
These words made everyone's blood boil, and they urgently wanted to draw up a strategy to calm the chaos and implement it as soon as possible, so that the people of the world would suffer less from the chaos of war.
While their monarchs and ministers were immersed in the ambition and pride of how to deal with the rebels, Jianning suddenly asked the emperor: "So, brother emperor, can I not be worthy of a guard?"
Kangxi said at this time: "No, we can despise the enemy strategically, but we can't despise the enemy on any practical issue. You still need to be equipped with guards, and I don't restrict you from going out of the palace."
Adult princes can go out of the palace, but adult princesses do not have this privilege, let alone Jianning is still a minor, such an order has already opened the door for Jianning to enter and exit the palace.After returning from the southern tour, knowing that she could survive outside the palace and even under the hands of the enemy for such a long time, the emperor agreed with her to go out of the palace occasionally.
Jian Ning was blessed, with a brisk expression on his face: "Thank you, Brother Emperor, by the way, I got a good thing when I left the palace this time, and I want to show Brother Emperor."
Suo'etu and other senior ministers thought to themselves: When did these three characters have a child's heart, and the emperor will play with her? !
But I didn't expect Kangxi to ask patiently: "Is it okay to show me later when I finish my work today?"
Suo'etu couldn't help but click his tongue, thinking to himself, so the old, dignified and majestic emperor in front of his courtiers has this appearance in front of his relatives.Then his own daughter, Empress Zhonggong, enjoyed a blessing.He didn't know that the emperor's patience was exclusive to Sangege, honed from a young age.
But Jianning didn't accept as soon as the ministers thought he was happy, but pulled Kangxi away, saying as he walked, "I won't delay the emperor's brother for a long time."
All the ministers looked at each other, Wei Dongting and Tu Hai were both guards, they knew the way their brother and sister get along, of course they followed the emperor wherever he went.
Mingzhu said to the remaining few people: "Let's go, the emperor is not here, who will listen to the discussion, let's follow to see!"
Jianning dragged Kangxi towards the open area of the palace.There is a meadow not far from the outskirts of Beijing, and there are many dignitaries in Beijing playing eagles, so big birds fly over the Forbidden City from time to time.
Kangxi wondered: "What exactly do you want me to see? Why did you come to the square outside the main hall?"
Jianning said: "Don't be impatient, you will be fine soon." She observed the sky, and finally saw a bird flying from afar, so she raised her hand to a big bird flying high in the sky. The firecracker given by Tang Ruowang.
Kangxi laughed and said: "Don't make trouble, you can't hit it, I know you can aim right, but it's too far away, no firecracker can hit it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a bang. Several ministers who came after saw the movement of Sange and heard the sound. They subconsciously looked up to the sky and saw a bird flying very far and high in response. fell down.
Tu Hai quickly walked over and picked up the bird: "Your Majesty, it's a sea dongqing. It was hit three times, and only its wings were hurt."
Kangxi didn't pay much attention to the bird, just glanced at it, then looked back and forth at the firecracker that Jianning handed over, playing with it in his hands, his eyes changing: "Where did this come from?"
Jianning took the injured bird from Tuhai's hands. Although it was frightened, it still did not change its raptor nature and kept struggling in Tuhai's hands.
After Jianning took it, Tuhai didn't see clearly what technique she was using, only saw that she patted the bird's back a few times, and the bird gradually calmed down.
Jian Ning said: "I went to the church in Xuanwu Gate today. It was developed by Father Tang. He improved the composition of the gunpowder used for propulsion. Since he can change small objects, the cannon should not be a problem."
Kangxi looked at her with burning eyes when he heard the words: "Really?"
Jian Ning nodded and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, it just takes time, but Tang Ruowang doesn't have any cannon samples to study."
Kangxi shouted: "Pearl!"
Mingzhu hurried forward: "The servant is here."
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "The military department that Tang Ruowang wants to research will fully cooperate with him. Within three months, I will see satisfactory results!"
Mingzhu holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, so he has also studied the firearms stored in the Ministry of War. Seeing the power of the firecrackers displayed by Sangege today, he knew that the power of this thing was much stronger than that of the Ministry of War. He did not dare to neglect, and immediately took it Purpose.
Kangxi thought for a while and then said, "Mingzhu still has a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to watch the whole process. The matter of developing new firearms is left to Jianning and Tang Ruowang. You and your Ministry of War will fully cooperate with what is needed."
When Jianning heard that there was something to do, he naturally wouldn't shirk it, and said solemnly: "Chenmei will definitely not let the emperor's brother down."
At this time, Suo'etu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, think twice, if the powerful firearms and cannons can be successfully developed, it will be very beneficial to the battle situation. This matter is very important. After all, San Gege is a woman, how can she provoke such a big one?" It's a heavy burden."
Jianning looked at him, but before he spoke, Kangxi said, "Suo'etu, your ancestors were also veterans who entered the customs from the dragon. How can you learn the pettiness of those Han officials? What's wrong with the girls? We love the girls from the Xinjueluo family. It’s not someone who only hides in the room and embroiders, or a husband and a child.”
Jianning said: "Yes, I am also willing to contribute to this extraordinary period."
Zhou Peigong said at this time: "The only Weichen here is the Hanchen, but the Weichen is not petty. I think San Gege can do it."
Although it was not more than a day since I knew her, Zhou Peigong listened to her words and deeds, listened to her talking and commenting on how Wu Sangui must be defeated, and saw her raising his gun and shooting into the air without hesitation.Zhou Peigong would not underestimate the little Princess in front of him at all, but felt that many men could not compare to her.
Kangxi laughed loudly, and finally relieved the suffocation in his chest, "Okay, Zhou Peigong is not petty, and Suo'etu should not be compared to others, let's go, go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to discuss matters!"
There is a record in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "The most handsome one carved out of Liaodong is called Costinus." Costinus is a large raptor with a strong body weight.Females are larger than males and can weigh up to six kilograms.It is about one meter tall, and its wings are more than two meters long.
The one Jianning shot had white feathers on the head with brown spots, dark gray body, brownish red breast and pure white tail.Its beak and claws are like iron hooks. It is no more than two feet long and weighs only three catties. It is obviously a little guy. In its tribe, it is still a young bird, but it is already bigger than ordinary birds. Much more.
The grown-up Haidongqing can catch swans, wild ducks, rabbits, roe deer and other animals.It is called "Xiongkulu" in Manchu, which means the highest and fastest flying bird in the world. It is said that only one "Haidongqing" comes out of [-] eagles.
After Jianning took it back, he sprinkled medicine on the wound on its wing and tied it with a bandage. It should heal within ten days and a half.
Boiling eagles is a very labor-intensive task. Eagles that are captured will not eat anything unless they are pushed to the limit. They would rather starve to death than bend their backs.
But this little eagle was very practical. It didn't take Jian Ning to bother, so he drank water and ate food obediently, but it only ate what Jian Ning handed over to him.It's not because it's too spiritual, but because creatures in nature understand the law of the weak and the strong. When Jian Ning pressed his hand on the eagle's back, it made the bird at the top of the food chain surrender. Naturally, he would listen. at her mercy.
Seeing that Jianning was going to raise the little eagle, Mo Xiang said, "Young servant, let's find a cage. There is a cage made of gold in the storeroom. It is so beautiful that it fits in the gege room. "
Jian Ning said: "There is no need for a cage. The eagle is a free creature. If it wants to fly away after it recovers from its injuries, it can fly away at any time. It is better to find a bigger cage."
After the little eagle was settled, Jianning didn't stay idle, but went to the Ministry of War. She asked people to find out all the information on firearms and ammunition, and read it quickly.
From the second day on, Tang Ruowang was also brought to the Ministry of War. He needed something for him to negotiate with the officials in charge of equipment.Tang Ruowang not only came by himself, but also brought his trusted student Nan Huairen who could help him with his research.
Jianning knows that he is not that kind of technical talent, but uses his own identity to ensure that they can have what they want, and guarantee their experimental environment.
As a result, Jianning frequently went out of the palace, joined the military department or other places, and many people knew that Sangege, like Wangsun Baylor, started to work for the emperor.
The country is in an eventful season, civil and military officials are all busy with their own affairs, all of which are full of things, so naturally no one will stand up and say anything.Besides, Prime Minister Suo had already mentioned the matter of San Gege's business affairs. He was the Prime Minister and the head of the country, and he was dismissed by the emperor. Who would dare to stroke the tiger's beard again.What's more, San Gege only concentrates on studying firearms with Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen and others, and never dictates to the Ministry of War and other affairs of the various ministries.
Therefore, all the ministers are still doing their own things, and there is no ripple in the court.
But it's different in the harem. There was such a strange creature in the palace that even the queen couldn't sit still.
Da Gege told the empress about the matter in a more eloquent way: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is a rule set by the ancestors. If the empress's first control of the harem is disturbed by her, the people in the palace don't know what to think. Others should think that the Empress is not wise."
The queen hesitated and said: "But Sangege didn't act privately, but following the emperor's will."
The queen and the emperor are newlyweds, she doesn't want to disobey the emperor and make him unhappy, it's too late to please the emperor at this time.But as Da Gege said, she was in charge of the harem for the first time. In this palace, there are the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and several concubines. The new queen needs to stand up in front of everyone in the palace.And Sange, who is deeply loved by the emperor, is the best candidate for the target.
Da Gege said again: "Master Suo also disagrees with this matter. I heard that he told the emperor at that time. However, the emperor did not listen to Lord Suo's opinion at that time."
The queen frowned and said: "Even my father doesn't agree? This is also expected. For him, women's involvement in politics is like a fantasy."
Because when she was in her boudoir, Queen Hesheli had friendship with Da Gege, and the two had long been friends.Now she has become an aunt. In this palace, the queen completely controls the palace affairs and has become a very noble person. Da Gege deliberately curry favor and the two of them watch over and help each other, so the queen regards her as one of her own, and everything will be done to Da Gege. He said in front that he would not be too guarded against her.
Da Gege said: "San Gege has done this kind of outrageous thing not once or twice. Relying on the emperor's favor, she is independent in this palace and never takes others seriously. Don't say anything else, you Just by looking at the place where she lives, you can see how spoiled the emperor is to her!" After saying that, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
When the Queen heard this, she had to take it seriously.San Gege is indeed too special in this palace, so special that it will threaten her majesty as the queen of the middle palace, if this is the case, she will have to take action.
The queen pondered and said: "I know about this matter, and I have to think it over again. Duan Min, you should go back first."
Seeing that the queen had been persuaded, Da Gege felt a little proud. Since the last incident, she and San Gege's Liang Zi were finally married.
Da Gege felt that if he did not take action against Jianning, Jianning would not make him feel better.The last time she wanted to make things difficult in front of the Empress Dowager, she forced San Gege to apologize to her.But she didn't know that the three-compartment core at that time was filled with fake princesses and real emperors!
So all of her making things difficult were actually suffered by Emperor Kangxi. Kangxi swallowed his humiliation and accepted the making things come from Da Gege, but since then, his perception of her has become very bad.Once, Da Gege did something wrong, Kangxi reprimanded her in public, which made her lose face, so everyone in the palace knew that Da Gege was very unsacred.
From Da Gege Duanmin's point of view, the emperor obviously favored Jianning, so he found an opportunity to embarrass himself and vent his anger on her.In this way, he felt that Jianning was the culprit, so Da Gege held a grudge against her even more.
The queen told Da Gege that she had to think about it, and she really thought about it, so she decided to talk to Concubine Jing first.After all, this concubine is San Gege's mother-in-law and the elder of the queen. If Concubine Jing can persuade San Gege to stop this matter, she will save time and effort as a queen, and will not take the credit of the queen. He Le And not for it.
So the queen, who had hardly been to the Zhongcui Palace, condescendingly stepped into the Zhongcui Palace, which she usually dismissed.The queen thought that as long as she explained her intentions, she would get the fawning and support of Concubine Jing, but unexpectedly, Concubine Jing, a person who knows nothing about current affairs, even the queen came to the door in person, and her attitude was actually lukewarm.
Concubine Jing said flatly: "Sangege never asks my opinion on what San Gege wants to do, and I never interfere. Although we are mother and daughter, we are not qualified to control each other's decisions. We will disappoint the queen." .”
The queen was surprised and said: "The only girl in the palace is Sangege who is different. She always runs outside the palace. Does Concubine Jing not care about Sangege's reputation and let her do whatever she wants?"
Concubine Jing said indifferently: "The child has grown up and has her own judgment. I won't take care of it. If the Queen has any dissatisfaction or warnings against her, you can go to her directly and tell her. If she is willing to listen to you, it's your fault." The fate of two people."
Although Concubine Jing does not leave her home, she can guess a little about the queen's thoughts.But she is also really helpless.
Before Jianning was three years old, she was taken care of by a nanny and a court lady.Since she was three years old, she has not lived in the same house with her. It is no exaggeration to say that Jianning was brought up by her third brother who is now the emperor.
Concubine Jing didn't even worry about the three grids of porridge, food, clothes, and bed. The more she dragged the child, the bigger it was. It would be too late to worry about it until now.Concubine Jing, who was not interested in everything at all, felt that Sangege didn't need to take care of herself at all, so she devoted herself even more to the Buddha.
Perhaps except that Jianning was at a critical moment, nothing else was enough to move the birth mother.
The empress empress got a bad nose at Concubine Jing, and secretly scolded Concubine Jing for not knowing how to flatter her!
In this way, the queen can only go directly to San Gege.Although it was the emperor's order that Sangege was asked to do the job, the queen couldn't find the emperor directly, saying that it was wrong for him to do so.
If the empress really does this, I am afraid that she, the empress, will fall out of favor in front of the emperor, so for the present plan, the only way is to let San Gege retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Jianning came to Yuqing Palace without saying hello to the queen, a little surprised, but he still stepped forward to salute: "Chenmei has seen the queen."
The queen didn't shout, but kept a stern face, walked past Jianning, walked to the main seat and sat down without saying a word.
Jian Ning murmured in her heart, seeing that the empress's attitude seemed to be unkind to the visitor, as if she had asked a teacher to ask for a crime, but she asked herself that she had not offended her, and she had always been polite when she met her in the palace a few times. What about offending the empress?
The queen is also looking at her. Although this Gege is still young, she has a beautiful appearance and has begun to show her beauty. She has been the most noble girl in the palace for a long time. She can achieve what she has said. A kind of pride, but even more extraordinary bearing.No wonder Da Gege hated her when he mentioned her. Apart from his dissatisfaction with her, jealousy must also play a part in it.
The queen was immersed in her own thoughts, and it took a long time for Jianning to salute unknowingly.Mo Ju and Mo Xiang behind Jianning were very upset. What does this empress mean?Running to their Yuqing Palace to come to Liwei, they actually kept them bowing for so long!
Mo Ju winked at the palace man at the door, the palace man understood, and quietly left the palace gate.
Jianning naturally saw the small movements of his maid, but he didn't stop him. He frowned and said, "I don't know why the empress came to the door?"
The queen came back to her senses and said unhurriedly, "Get up."
Jianning straightened up with a calm face, as if he was not the one who was embarrassed before, but calmly said: "What is the empress's intention?"
Facing her who was so calm, the queen didn't have the nerve to speak. She came up to criticize, but said: "This Yuqing Palace in Sangege, I have never been to this palace. If you want to visit, Sangege won't welcome you, right?"
Jianning said: "The empress is the mother of the country and the lord of the six palaces. She is naturally flattered to be able to set foot in my little Yuqing Palace. How could she not welcome her? It's just that the empress came at an inconvenient time today. I have something to do and I am about to go out, how about my sister-in-law invite your mother over to drink some tea another day?"
When the queen heard that she was going out, she fell in love with her and took the opportunity to ask: "Where are you going? Are you going out of the palace? Do you know that all the princesses will not go out of the palace easily," Shengong Wangyue, wait for words In the boudoir', that's what Royal Gege should look like."
Seeing that San Gege didn't show dissatisfaction or disapproval, she continued to persuade her earnestly, "You are still young, and you don't know the stakes. Although the civil and military officials don't say anything, but for a leader like you Errands, Gege who shows his face outside will not look very good. When you reach the age where you can negotiate marriage, if you are rejected by the important officials, where will the royal family face! In that case, you can only marry you to Mongolia, where winter in Mongolia Not to mention the world of ice and snow, and living the most primitive life of drinking blood, how can you, a delicate little girl, bear it, you have to understand, this palace is only for your own good to tell you these things..."
Jianning originally thought that the queen would leave when she came to take a look, but she didn't expect that she had no intention of leaving. Instead, she kept talking more and more. Jianning looked at the time and had to interrupt: "Is the queen's mouth dry? Please Use a little tea, if you have any advice you haven't finished, can you wait for me to come back, I really have something to do today, the emperor's brother may also go there, I don't want to keep them waiting for a long time."
Hearing this, the empress felt angry: "How dare you use the emperor to suppress me! The emperor is my husband, so naturally he won't help outsiders. As Ge Ge, you should be what Ge Ge should be! Run out every day , Abandoning shame is what a wild girl would do, not to mention the royal family, even the daughters of rich families would not do this!"
A voice came from the direction of the gate: "Why didn't I know when I raised Jianning to be a wild girl? How can a daughter of the royal family be judged by the standards of ordinary people! The Queen's words are too one-sided Bar!"
The queen was startled, and looked towards the door, and sure enough, she saw the emperor striding in with a dark face. She didn't know when he had arrived, and he didn't know how long he had been listening. There is no word that the emperor is coming.
Everyone rushed to pay their respects to the emperor, especially the empress and her party, because there were several empresses in the palace at the same time, so every time they picked up the driver in the empress' palace, they seemed to have won a battle, full of fear and excitement.
Jianning wasn't too surprised by Kangxi's arrival, but just gave Mo Ju and Mo Xiang a warning look, telling them not to get carried away by being discovered or hated.
The queen said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really planning for Sangege, for the sake of the royal family's dignity, and has no selfish intentions. Please let the emperor know."
If it was in private, after returning to the harem after a busy day's work, maybe the emperor would comfort the queen with kind words, but this is after all in Yuqing Palace, and there are many civil and military ministers waiting for them to see the experimental results.
Today the emperor gathered ministers of civil and military affairs to look at Tang Ruowang's experimental results in the back hill of the Forbidden City.There is also a large school field in the Forbidden City, why not experiment in the palace, this is Tang Ruowang's strong request.
Seeing how hard their research was, Kangxi naturally agreed to such a trivial matter, and he was just waiting in the Qianqing Palace, ready to go to Houshan with Jianning, seeing that she was late, he didn't wait for her, but waited for Yu The little eunuch in Qing Palace said that the empress was in Yuqing Palace, and that Princess might not be able to leave for a while, so Kangxi decided to come and have a look in person.
Kangxi originally planned to come personally to invite San Gege and the Queen to go together, but he didn't expect to hear these remarks, and changed his mind immediately.
Looking at it now, with the queen's obstinacy, even if she saw some amazing power, she would not feel that Jianning had any credit, and would still persuade her to stay in her boudoir obediently.
Facing the queen's soft-spoken explanation, Kangxi just said: "The queen should go back to the palace first, and I will visit you when I am free."
He looked at Jianning: "What are you doing in a daze? What time is it? The experiment should have started long ago! Come with me to the back mountain."
The empress was unfavorable, her lobbying for Jianning hadn't worked out, and she was humiliated by the emperor who always spoke softly to her. The empress only felt her face burning hot, so she could only grit her teeth: "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully."
Seeing this situation, the servants behind the queen didn't dare to show their anger. The queen was so shameless that they were afraid that the queen would accidentally vent her anger on them.
Kangxi and Jianning said as they walked: "You don't have to take what the queen said to heart. I didn't see that the ancestors didn't move, and they just acquiesced in what we did. I will find something for you to do. It's not a big deal. The queen can't wait He seemed to run out to stop him, but he was still too young, and wanted to accomplish a few things in the palace so that he could sit firmly in the back seat."
Kangxi has a deep research on the way of the emperor, so he naturally knows the thoughts of some people in the palace.Concubines fought openly and covertly, and they thought they were good at it. In fact, for a sage monarch like Kangxi, the movements of courtiers must be controlled, let alone his own harem.
Jian Ning said: "I understand Empress Empress very well, what she said is not completely unreasonable, so I don't take it to heart."
Kangxi said: "Then are you going to give up? Are you going to be the strict princess that the queen said?"
Jianning took it for granted, "Of course not, what she says is her freedom, and what I do is my freedom, isn't it?" No matter what others say, as long as she thinks it is right, she will still go her own way .
Kangxi couldn't help but chuckled: "I knew you couldn't listen to what you said to her, and I didn't misread you."
Hearing this, Jianning stomped his feet angrily: "What do you mean! It's not a compliment at all, it's clearly saying that I'm stubborn, so don't listen to people's advice!"
She has always been polite to people she doesn't know well, and she is always annoyed when she should be annoyed with people she is close to, no matter what his status is.
Mo Ju and Mo Xiang, who followed behind, couldn't help but think in her heart: We Ge Ge are a coward, the queen came here to make noise and accuse so many people for no reason, and she didn't reply, but the emperor only said a few words, she It's about to blow up.
Jianning didn't know that his two court ladies were going to worry about him.
Before he had gone far, a eunuch rushed to report: "Report to the emperor, the envoy of Tsarist Russia has arrived and is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Kangxi froze for a moment, then asked casually, "What time is it?"
The eunuch said: "Going back to the emperor, it is already the last time."
Only then did Kangxi say "oh", "The scheduled time to meet the Russian envoys has arrived, and it's not good to keep them waiting. You can tell Tang Ruowang and them to postpone the test."
Jianning said with some guilt: "It's all my fault for missing the hour." She had known for a long time that Kangxi's daily office hours were clearly divided, and the schedule was full. If one thing was delayed, the others would also be affected. .
Kangxi said: "How can I blame you, no one thought that the queen would suddenly come and stumble, let's go, first go to meet the envoys of Tsarist Russia, and let the ministers wait a little longer."
Gorny was an envoy sent by Tsarist Russia and the most powerful general under the tsarist seat. He is now wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he came to see Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty with a document written by Peter the Great himself.
Kangxi would not naively think that the Tsarist Russian envoys who arrived in Beijing at this time were here to be good-neighborly and friendly.Chaos broke out in the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui's army had already attacked the Jingxiang area.
This emissary must have brought some order from the Russian tsar, and came here with a keen eye. The Russian barbarians plundered the northern border, and they had long regarded the Heilongjiang area as their pocket.
Kangxi received him in the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Jianning stood behind him.
Gorney didn't feel at all restrained towards Kangxi who was aloof. After the etiquette, he explained the purpose of coming straight to the point and read out Peter the Great's handwriting: "Your Majesty the Qing Emperor, Russia is the greatest country in the world. Around Russia Many monarchs have led their ministers to surrender to His Majesty the Tsar. I hope that the monarchs of the Qing Dynasty will take the initiative to make peace with His Majesty the Tsar, become ministers, open the borders, and return the lands of Sauron, Hezhe, and Chigor in the Heilongjiang River Basin to Russia."
Hearing this arrogant announcement, Kangxi smiled instead of anger, "Go back and tell you that Peter, he is the emperor, and I am also the emperor. The Qing Dynasty does not want to occupy every plant and tree in Tsarist Russia, but Tsarist Russia also does not want to occupy half an inch of my Qing Dynasty." Land. Up and down the Heilongjiang River, we will not give up any rivers, streams, sand, or rocks. If you dare to encroach on them, our Qing Dynasty has millions of soldiers waiting for you, and we are not afraid to fight you."
Gorney said incredulously: "Your Majesty, as far as we know, the Qing Dynasty is only powerful on the surface, but in fact it has many enemies. The Han people do not accept the rule of the Manchus. There are already three generals in your Southwest Shu who have rebelled! Under such circumstances, if you still think about going to war with Russia, aren’t you afraid of destroying the country?”
Kangxi smiled calmly and said: "I don't deny the small group of rebels in the southwest, but they will be wiped out soon. After all, the Qing Dynasty is too vast, how can you expect any place to be safe and secure?" , The most prosperous era and the most prosperous dynasty will also have rebellions, this is inevitable, just like walking through the grass, there will always be a small bug on the boots occasionally."
Gorney was obviously surprised by Kangxi's attitude. Just as he was hesitating, Jianning said: "I heard that the firearms of the Raksha Kingdom are very powerful. The Qing Dynasty just made a few cannons recently. Brother Emperor, why don't we Would you like the ambassador to comment and enlighten me?"
Kangxi just hesitated for a moment, feeling that Jianning has always been reliable, and since she spoke, she should be sure that she can restrain this red-haired boy.
Kangxi said: "Then please honor the ambassador."
Gorney thought to himself: This princess is right. The firearms of Tsarist Russia are indeed very powerful. Relying on powerful weapons, the army of Tsarist Russia has always been invincible.
Hearing that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty invited him to take a look at the firearms developed by his own country, Gorni dismissed it in his heart, feeling that he was right
