Chapter 191 The Unruly Princess 41
Kangxi boarded the throne on the high platform and said: "I have kept you all waiting for a long time. This is Gorni, the envoy from Tsarist Russia. He is very interested in firearms and he is here to see and see. I just asked him to comment. Let's Which is better, the firearms of the Qing Dynasty or those of Tsarist Russia."
Tang Ruowang and his student Nan Huairen, who was also his right-hand man during the experiment, walked towards Kangxi: "Your Majesty, you are here."
Kangxi nodded and said, "Tang Aiqing, I haven't asked you why you insist on setting the test site outside the palace?"
Tang Ruowang said: "Your Majesty, the palace is too small to test the power of the Shenwu cannon, not to mention the loud noise after firing the cannon. I am afraid that I will disturb the empress dowager and other nobles in the palace."
Kangxi smiled lightly and said: "You actually said that the imperial palace is too small, I'm afraid you are the first person to say that, well, since you think the huge martial arts arena in the palace is not enough to test it. The name Shenwu Cannon It's loud, but I don't know how it works."
Kangxi was already in high spirits, and he also knew that this experiment would probably not disappoint him, otherwise Tang Ruowang and others wouldn't be so swearing.But in front of the Tsarist Russian envoys, he still had to act like he was done.
Nan Huairen said: "This name was chosen by His Highness the Third Princess, and I think it's very suitable."
Gorney obviously didn't expect that there would be Europeans who would bow down to Kangxi in the court of the Qing Dynasty. From their accents, one could tell that they were from Western Europe, and it was obvious that these white-skinned people like herself had received the approval of the Qing emperor. reuse.
Gorney thought: But this is not the point, the most important thing is to see how powerful the artillery is, otherwise it will not help if they blow out flowers.
Kangxi obviously understood this truth, waved his hand and said, "Let's begin."
Tang Ruowang went to the cannon that had been set up earlier and took off the red cloth covering the cannon. Both Kangxi and the courtiers could see that the cannon was bigger than the ones they had seen before.
Jianning also stepped down from the high platform at this time, took a bunch of torches, and after Nan Huairen installed the gunpowder, he lit the fuze himself.
Everyone only heard a loud bang, and their eardrums shook. A small wooden house about a hundred feet away in the distance was mercilessly blasted to the ground. The flames of the explosion rose several feet high, and the wooden boards were burning , allowing people to see the distance clearly.
Seeing this scene, all the ministers couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then applauded loudly, and started discussing one after another.
Regardless of the roar in his ears, Kangxi stood up almost immediately at the moment of the explosion and looked into the distance.
Gorney stretched his neck to look at the place where the fire was still burning, and couldn't help but click his tongue.Unexpectedly, this power does not seem to be inferior to the firearm technology that Russia is proud of!
Jianning turned his head and said, "Brother Emperor, it was my negligence. I forgot to ask you to cover your ears. Please cover your ears this time, and I will light another cannon."
At this time, Tang Ruowang was adjusting something on the gun body, and after adjusting, he made a gesture of yes.Nan Huairen reloaded the gunpowder and fired the second cannon.Even farther than before!
Visually, at least two hundred feet away from here, another small wooden house was engulfed in flames.
With the lessons learned from the past and Sangege's reminder, everyone covered their ears long ago. Although their ears were not impacted, the ground under their feet could visibly shake.
Kangxi looked over with burning eyes, "This cannon can adjust its range freely, and its power is still undiminished?"
Jianning said, "Not bad."
Even though he was sitting on the entire country, knowing that he had this kind of technology, Kangxi couldn't help swallowing, so as not to make his throat look so dry, he asked, "Is the experiment over?"
Jianning said: "There is still one shot, please wait patiently." After speaking, he signaled Nan Huairen to load the gunpowder.
This time there is no need to remind them three times, because they are standing on a high place, and some of the ministers have already discovered the cabin that is the farthest away. Looking at the other side so that everyone can see it, he said: "Look, there seems to be a similar cabin over there, but it is too far away, and it may not be possible to hit it, but I think it is only the power of the first two shots. The Shenwu Cannon has reached its peak, not to mention that Wu Sangui can't stand such a strong firepower, even if the old man who is good at cannons and muskets comes, equipped with such weapons, our Qing army can blast them back to their hometown!"
All the ministers agreed one after another, and also felt that Sangege and Tang Ruowang were a little eager for quick success and quick success, and they pursued further one after another.But everyone has already decided in their hearts that even if they fail to hit the target cabin this time, they will never pour cold water or make ironic remarks. The results of the first two shots are enough for them to praise this invention to the sky.
They didn't think for too long, and with a bang, the last cabin was also engulfed in flames.
Everyone showed expressions of disbelief.
At this time, the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Mercy Ning was also shaken. Everyone in the room panicked and turned around: "What happened? It's an earthquake! Hurry up and protect the Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager sat firmly on the bed and said, "Why panic! It's not an earthquake! Jianning sent someone to say that they were going to test some firearms outside the palace today, but this movement is indeed a bit loud."
Aunt Su Mala waited on her side, served another cup of hot tea and said, "San Gege has always been very considerate, if she hadn't sent someone to tell me this in advance, we would have panicked too."
Such a frantic scene was being staged in every palace, and Jianning's subordinates were limited, and they only told the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Jing, but with these few people present, the palace would not panic because of this news.
At the back of the mountain, Jianning walked back to the emperor at this time, and said slowly: "The last target is five hundred feet away from here. Brother Emperor, you have also seen that the range of this cannon can be adjusted. Father Tang is studying farther and farther. Accurate shooting, but I think for the current battlefield, this level is enough."
When Kangxi heard this, he was already ecstatic, but he still maintained the calmness that a monarch should have, and said: "It is indeed enough! I don't know the power of the artillery of the Ministry of War before, and it can be achieved in a short period of time. I am very pleased with this achievement.”
He said vigorously: "If you have meritorious service, you should be rewarded. Come on! Give Tang Ruowang a first-class uncle, give him double-eyed feathers, and give him a yellow jacket! Give Nan Huairen a hundred taels of gold, and be promoted to two levels. All other craftsmen who have made contributions will also be rewarded. "
As soon as the words fell, the voice of thanking you was endless.
Kangxi looked at Jianning, and Jianning half-jokingly said: "My reward is definitely indispensable. After returning to the palace, Jianning will go to the emperor's brother to ask for the reward." As she spoke, she winked at Kangxi, Let him pay attention to Gorni who has been dumbfounded for a long time.
Only then did Kangxi think of him, and said, "Ambassador, you have already seen the firearms of our Qing Dynasty. How do they compare with your Tsarist Russia?"
It took a while for Gorney to come back to his senses. He blinked and stared at his tired eyes in the distance, and said, "Your Majesty the Qing Emperor, today Gorney is really an eye-opener."
Kangxi asked: "I don't know what the envoy thinks about the power of our country's mighty cannon?"
Gorni said in a sincerely convinced way: "Awesome! Not only is it amazingly powerful, but it also has a hundred shots, which is even better than the firearms of the evil country. After I return to the country, I will definitely implore His Majesty the Tsar and your country to become a brotherly state, and there will be no more wars from now on." .”
Only then did Kangxi laugh loudly, and said: "It's best if it's so natural. If the emperor of your country still insists on encroaching on our Qing territory, don't forget what I said before, and tell him straight!"
"Yes!"
After setting the diplomatic tone, Gorney couldn't bear it anymore and asked Tang Ruowang who was standing not far from him: "Which country are you from? Is this amazing power a technology from your own country? Can I bid for it?" A cannon for research?" He knew that the owner of this world's leading technology would not really teach these technologies to others, so he just tentatively proposed to buy a sample back.
Tang Ruowang said kindly: "I am from Germany. These achievements are the crystallization of the wisdom of the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty, not from my motherland. What's more, I have been in the Qing Dynasty for more than 30 years, and this is also my motherland. How can I It will betray it. Your Excellency, Ambassador of Tsarist Russia, if you have any intention to purchase, please talk directly to His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."
Kangxi just glanced at him with a half-smile, and Gorney was discouraged. He was no longer as arrogant as before, and he talked about buying cannons. When you arrive, you will depart for your home country.
The two sides have been at war for more than a year, and Wu Sangui's momentum from the very beginning, sent his troops northward to capture Hunan, and has the potential to sweep the world.Now that Wu Sangui has been guarding Hunan, he has been vacillating whether to send troops south or cross the river north.
Emperor Kangxi saw Wu Sangui's indecision, and always wanted to go to the imperial conquest in person, and meet this hero for a while.But none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty agreed with this matter. They always had a lot of reasons to prevent him from going to the battlefield.
Suo'etu said that the emperor's personal expedition must be absolutely certain of victory.Because the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, mortals can be defeated, but the Son of Heaven cannot be defeated. Otherwise, his image as the Emperor will be greatly reduced in the hearts of the people and ministers, so the Emperor cannot afford to govern himself.
Kangxi agreed with his words in his heart, but he was still brooding over the fact that he could not go to the battlefield in person. He strongly wanted to see what the front line that caused chaos and half of the country fell.
When the country was in turmoil, ghosts and monsters from all over the world also appeared on the stage one after another.
Even when Kangxi was in peace, he had been paying close attention to illegal organizations everywhere, because he knew how hidden dangers these demagogic organizations would pose to the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
Recently, Kangxi received a report that a secret organization called Sanlang Xianghui gradually emerged, and they have grown to nearly 200 million followers in various places!
Kangxi knew that there was such an anti-Qing church in the country, and he couldn't even sleep peacefully!
Even without Wu Sangui's current rebellion, an organization with so many believers is enough to cause a lot of trouble for the Qing Dynasty.And such an organization has been dormant before, and now it is taking advantage of the instability of the people to come out to deceive the public. It is definitely not a good thing to know without thinking about it!
The known leader of his organization is Yang Qilong, a remnant of the former Ming Dynasty.He also secretly went to Wuhua Mountain in Yunnan to meet with Wu Sangui, and the two parties may have colluded!
But Kangxi's troubles are far more than that. The capital city in Xia Dynasty was originally calm and peaceful, but recently, rumors of chaos came out from nowhere.There is a song often sung by children playing on the street corners of the capital: "Four mouths turn against each other, and the world will be scattered. The sun and the moon shine together and the five stars are connected. When the time comes, we will end together. I advise you to do good!"
Kangxi called Suo'etu, Zhou Peigong, Mingzhu and other Manchu and Han ministers to ponder the meaning of this poem together, and it took a long time before they had a clue. It is a Ming character, so the meaning of this song is that the Huis are going to rebel, and it is against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Tuhai, who has been promoted to the admiral of the Nine Gates, reported a strange incident. For more than ten days in a row, the Muslims in the capital gathered in the mosque in the evening, and they would not go home until dawn. I don’t know what they were doing secretly. thing.Especially the mosque in Niujie, where the largest number of people gathered.
This kind of secret gathering was absolutely forbidden by the Kangxi Dynasty's repeated imperial edicts. They would not be ignorant of it, so it was intentional at all.
Combining these two things together means that Huihui will rebel, and they are already preparing intensively and secretly, and it may explode at any time.Now that he had known about their plot in advance, Kangxi would not let this kind of thing happen, and had already sent someone to exterminate it that night.
Before dinner, an eunuch quietly walked in and reported: "Master, the signboard for the cleaning room has arrived, please turn over the signboard."
Kangxi felt a little irritable, and didn't even look at the signs, and said directly: "Take it away, don't turn over the signs."
The concubines in the harem are intriguing, and every word they say can set a trap for others, or have the purpose of pleasing him.If he was in a good mood, Kangxi would go to the harem for a walk, but if he was in a bad mood, those people's various expressions would easily offend him.So since the start of the war, everything has been suppressed, and most of the time he stayed alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Yes, the slave will go and order the imperial dining room to prepare meals."
Kangxi said: "Go and invite San Gege over personally, and ask her to finish the meal with me."
Li Dequan, the chief eunuch, responded, and went to Yuqing Palace in person. A familiar person came to Jianning, called Qianer and said, "San Gege, you haven't finished your meal yet, Lord Long Live, please come and come with us." !"
Jianning has not been idle since finishing her last errand, the emperor continued to ask her to supervise the production of cannons by the Ministry of Industry.It is also necessary to ensure the quality, and to quickly produce a batch of finished products, so that this heavy-duty and destructive weapon can be sent to the front line, which can deter the enemy and stabilize the morale of the army.
The people in the Ministry of Industry dare not neglect the orders given by the emperor, even if they intend to neglect, with three Gege standing here, they can only do their best, rush to work day and night, and ship the goods in the fastest and best way.
Jianning often eats with Xuanye, and he doesn't feel flattered at all by others.It's just that she found that he seemed a little absent-minded today, Jianning couldn't help but tapped the porcelain bowl with jade chopsticks, making a series of crisp knocking sounds, so as to bring him back to his senses, "Brother Emperor, what are you thinking, you can't concentrate on eating .”
The maids and eunuchs in the palace hurriedly lowered their heads, fearing that San Gege's disrespectful behavior would make the emperor angry. Although the emperor never got angry with San Gege in the past, the servants always lowered their heads subconsciously. It seems to be able to escape the wrath of the master.
Kangxi had been eating absent-mindedly, but when she saw through, he simply put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I was thinking, why is the world so peaceful!"
Jianning thought he was talking about the war in the Southwest, so he also put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "By the way, you sent Xiao Guizi to look for that thing, do you have any clues?"
Kangxi said with a sullen face: "He can't get close to Wu Sangui's mansion in Wuhua Mountain, let alone a large camp."
A small book is very easy to collect, but it is not easy for others to find it without any clues.Even Xiao Guizi's cleverness has hit a wall, and Kangxi feels that there is little hope of finding him.
Jianning didn't want to give up so soon, she thought for a while and said, "The matter is very important at this time, and we must find it! Let me go!"
Kangxi didn't care about being bothered, and said in disbelief: "You? What are you going to do?!"
Jianning said: "I'm serious. If he can't find it, it doesn't mean I can't find it either. Let me try."
Kangxi smiled wryly and shook his head: "Of course I know you're serious. But I can't promise you."
Kangxi suddenly said seriously: "Since you have the courage to bravely break into the enemy's camp, maybe I have other things for you to do, which are not simpler than this one."
Seeing his serious expression, Jianning knew that it was a big deal, and said, "Then please do not hesitate to ask Brother Emperor, I will definitely do my best."
Kangxi said: "I'll talk about this matter later, and I need to think it over again. It's just that I have other worries today, so I can't think about that for the time being."
Jianning didn't have the kind of cautiousness that can't inquire about state secrets, and said: "What is it that makes you unable to eat, brother emperor? Although I may not be able to share your worries if you tell me, it is said that what is in your heart Find someone to talk about things, and it will also make the mood much better."
Kangxi knew that he was not the kind of person who would feel better when he poured out his problems, unless that person could provide a practical solution, but he still said to Jianning: "Today is the day to send troops to encircle and suppress Huihui. It didn't come, so I feel a little uneasy."
Jianning was surprised: "Huihui, are they Hui people? What happened to them? Why did the emperor's brother send troops to encircle and suppress them?"
Kangxi couldn't eat anymore anyway, so he waved people away, and slowly told Jianning the ins and outs of the matter.
Who knew that she would frown tighter the more she listened, and suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "When will you start acting?"
At this moment, a palace official came to report: "Your Majesty, General Tuhai is asking to see you."
Kangxi said: "You can ask Tuhai yourself, this matter has been handed over to Admiral Jiumen."
After Tu Hai walked in and saluted, he said in a low voice: "Long live, according to your order, the troops to encircle and suppress the twelve mosques in the capital have been properly deployed. The Niujie Mosque is the largest stronghold, and this servant plans to personally lead troops to capture People, and burn them, and other places will use the fire as a sign, and together, we can wipe out the Hui people's rebellion in one fell swoop."
Kangxi nodded to express his satisfaction, but Jianning immediately said: "Brother Emperor, if I heard you right, you predicted that the Muslims would rebel based on a nursery rhyme and abnormal night gatherings. I read some miscellaneous Some of them record the customs of the Hui people. They have a festival called Eid al-Fitr, which is the two major festivals of Islam along with Eid al-Adha. From dawn to sunset, except for those who are sick, adult Muslims must strictly fast, not eating or drinking, until the sun goes down, and then the imam should preach and preach the Koran in the mosque, and they will leave until late at night. Eat at home. Is there any other convincing evidence for Huihui’s rebellion? It’s not a misunderstanding, is it?”
Listening to Jianning's words, Kangxi's brows became more and more frowned, and finally his face was ashen. "There is no other evidence! It is precisely because there is not enough evidence for their rebellion, and I have to take precautions before they happen, that I feel uneasy! This is not a misunderstanding at all, it seems to be a conspiracy specifically aimed at Huihui and the court!"
Listening to San Gege's words, Tu Hai was already in a cold sweat, thinking: The troops have been deployed, as long as there is a fire somewhere, tens of thousands of people will fall to the ground!The Muslims are notoriously united. If the Muslims in the capital are arrested for rebellion, the Muslims all over the country will rise up to resist.He hurriedly said: "Master please decide!"
Kangxi immediately ordered: "Let all the soldiers not act rashly, cancel the use of fire as the sign, and let us know if there are any orders."
Tuhai said: "Your servant will do it now!"
Watching him walk out of the hall quickly, Kangxi said: "I have been on the throne for ten years, why have I never heard of these habits of the Hui people? Didn't they celebrate this Eid al-Fitr before?"
Jian Ning said: "According to the records, it should be passed every year. As for why it surfaced in this way this year, I have to find out by the emperor himself."
Either the Muslims really did not have these seemingly abnormal actions for outsiders in the past few years, or the investigators concealed the news.
Kangxi suddenly asked someone to change into regular clothes for him: "What's going on, I'll go and see for myself!"
Jianning understood, and said, "Are you going to the Niujie Mosque? I'm going too!" She ran back to Yuqing Palace to change without waiting for Kangxi to agree to turn around. Go out to the street.
When she came back to Qianqing Palace with Mo Ju Mo Xiang in a hurry, she found that Kangxi had already taken care of herself and was waiting for her.
The two talked while walking, and Jianning asked, "Why are you waiting for me so nicely? I thought the emperor's brother would not allow me to go."
Kangxi said rather helplessly: "Even if I don't take you with me, you can run out of the palace by yourself, so you might as well keep it by your side and watch."
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Tu Hai had already returned to report that the new order had been issued, and all the soldiers of the Nine Gates would stand still and wait for the emperor's order.
Tuhai immediately knew that Kangxi was going to bring Jianning to Niujie in person, so he ordered some of the most powerful imperial guards to follow him, and asked dozens of people to dress up as ordinary people and scatter them around to prevent any accidents.But there are tens of thousands of Muslims on Niu Street, if they really rioted, these people would not be enough to ensure the safety of the emperor and Ge Ge, so Tu Hai urgently sent his deputy to dispatch troops.
Walking on the street in the evening, the flowers are fragrant, and the people around are talking or laughing, and they walk towards the big mosque on the corner of the street that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Kangxi looked at the bustling people on the side of the road, there were carefree children chasing each other, pregnant women with their stomachs on their heads, and even young adults with smiles on their eyes and brows, but there was no one who seemed to be plotting to rebel That kind of mess.
Tu Hai was also secretly surprised. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that such a large group of people gathered in the evening to discuss the festival, but the facts are often jaw-dropping.
Jianning walked beside an old man with white beard and hair and wearing a white Hui hat on his head, and said, "Old man, you also want to go to the mosque."
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, I was late when I went out with my legs and feet, and I was the last one. The children in the family went to occupy the space early."
He also chatted with Jianning: "Little girl, are you ready for the festival?"
Jian Ning said, "To tell you the truth, I'm not a Huiren, but I'm a little curious to see how lively this place is, so I followed to have a look."
The old man said kindly, "Oh, most of the people living on Niujie are Hui people. Now that you've caught up, let's take a look. It's very rare."
Jianning asked, "Why do you say it's rare?"
The old man said: "We haven't celebrated this Eid al-Fitr for many years. In the first few years, there was a lot of chaos, and in the next few years, the situation was not good. Later, Ao Zhongtang was rebuilt. Alas! Thanks to the blessing of Lord Kangxi, Our life in the capital is more stable, and this year's Eid al-Fitr is going to be celebrated, but we will miss another year."
Kangxi Tuhai and others have already understood why only Huihui people celebrate this festival this year.
Kangxi intervened and said, "There is another fight in the south, and it's not a good time."
The old man looked at him and said, "That's right, the war has started, but the court is still very stable, the price of rice and salt hasn't risen much, it's about the same as in previous years, and everyone has just accumulated holiday things in their hands."
The old man has already entered the mosque with the footsteps of the crowd.
Tu Haiqi said: "Long live, the truth of the matter has been revealed, there is no need for you to go to the mosque."
At this moment, a group of people came straight to them, headed by a young man in his 40s and [-]s with two beards. The man walked up to Kangxi, looked at him with bright eyes, and said: "This Brother, you are also here to see the fun? Why don't you just follow me in and have a look?"
Jianning felt his strong malice, and pulled Kangxi's sleeve to tell him not to go. Kangxi also stared at the man, and said, "You know me? I don't know who you are?"
The man smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I, Yang Qilong, feel that brother Taiwan is just kind-hearted, and it is fate to meet each other, so I specially invite you to watch a big play together, don't you dare?"
During Kangxi's southern tour, he made public appearances.There were thousands if not tens of thousands of onlookers. Yang Qilong hid in the crowd at that time and secretly glanced at Kangxi.How could he forget the emperor's appearance, and naturally recognized him at a glance.
Kangxi chewed on the name, "Yang Qilong" seems to have heard of it somewhere, "Yang Qilong?" Isn't it the initiator of the Sanlang Township Association!
Kangxi thought that a traitorous minister dared to run in front of me and speak loudly!Kangxi naturally wanted to see what tricks he was playing.
Just at this time, the door of the mosque was not closed, and Kangxi strode towards the mosque.Seeing this scene, Tu Hai looked at Jianning: "Do you want to stop this?"
Jianning had no choice but to follow up, and said to Tuhai: "The soldiers will cover the water and soil, are we still afraid of him!"
Yang Qilong saw the group of them walking to the front, as if he had just become a follower, he was a little annoyed, and waved his hand: "This man is so brave, since this is the case, let's teach him a lesson that he will never forget! Let's go too!"
In the mosque, all the Muslims found their seats, either sitting or standing, listening intently to the imam above who began to preach scriptures and sermons.
The imam said: "Allah said: Do not follow your selfish desires and become selfish. Those who do good deeds as heavy as an ant will see their good roots; those who do evil deeds as heavy as an ant will see their evil rewards. Don't hate each other, don't Be jealous of each other, and do not resist each other; be like brothers, servants of Allah..."
Everyone is listening attentively. This is the words in the Quran. Every time the imam will say a proverb, and then explain it to them word by word, or explain the truth in the form of a short story.Every time the children listened to a story with gusto, the adults were more serious and no one would disturb them.
Today, however, there was a discordant voice, and only one person shouted loudly: "Fart! Everyone is the servant of Allah! Then who is the servant of our Qing emperor? You Muslims, you don't have the emperor in your eyes at all. Want to rebel!"
Kangxi looked over with cold eyes, and found that the person who said this was the person brought by Yang Qilong. At this time, that Yang Qilong was looking at Kangxi's reaction proudly.
Jianning knew that things would not be easy, and the other party finally made trouble, and she was happy to watch their performance.
As soon as the man's words fell, some people in the temple rioted. The imam quickly suppressed everyone's voices and said, "This brother is wrong. Allah is the Allah of the sky, and the emperor is the king of the earth. There is no conflict between the two sides." .We are the people of the Qing Dynasty. We love the emperor as much as we love Allah. We have never despised the emperor's prestige, let alone rebellion."
The person who spoke before said again: "How dare you argue! Every night you close the door and gather here secretly. Don't you know that we issued an edict early in the morning to not allow private gatherings! And you have been doing this for a long time! It’s been more than half a month, and the government didn’t come to arrest you, yet you still don’t repent! You were caught by my general Tuhai today! What else can you deny!”
The Hui people were shocked by his tone and momentum, and he clearly looked like a high-ranking official when he spoke, while ordinary people were always reluctant to provoke officials.But this person was really wronging them, and then came to the Eid al-Fitr ceremony to make a fuss.Some vigorous young men were already glaring at their group.
The old imam wanted to calm things down and wanted to explain, but there was a conflict over there. Yang Qilong's men punched a young man who wanted to come forward to argue, and knocked him to the ground. They were obviously masters of martial arts. The power is great.Those who were beaten could not get up for a long time.
Seeing the bleeding compatriots on the ground, more Hui people came forward to argue angrily, and some women panicked and screamed.
Behind Kangxi, Tu Hai already had a rather ugly face, angry and unbelievable, as if he never thought that his identity would be impersonated!
I only heard another person shouting over there: "Okay, you not only gathered people to make trouble today, but also dared to startle the holy car. It is an unforgivable crime! I am Wei Dongting, the first-rank imperial guard with a knife! I will call the army and kill you rebellious officials and thieves!" Take them all! Sweep away this riotous Niujie!"
Several people around Yang Qilong knocked down the surrounding Muslims one after another.The more people were injured, the more terrified and chaotic the people in the mosque became.
Only then did Kangxi sneer and said, "What am I supposed to be? It turns out that today's show is actually a double dragon meeting!" The meeting of two emperors, one real and one fake, really made him feel unique.
Jianning didn't panic either, and said calmly, "What kind of Double Dragon Club is this? It's just a real dragon and a bug!"
Yang Qilong looked at Jianning with a cold light in his eyes, "What? It seems that someone doubts our identity."
Kangxi said: "You have all inquired about the names of the imperial guards, and they are looking for someone to play them one by one. It seems that there is still a lack of a real dragon emperor. Could it be you?"
Yang Qilong said contemptuously and proudly: "Yes, I am the current Emperor Kangxi."
As soon as his words fell, the dissatisfied Muslims around him froze, not daring to move.The imam standing on top took the opportunity to silence the crowd.
Everyone didn't know if what this person said was true or not, but a person as old as the old imam had never seen anyone who dared to pretend to be the emperor, that would be a serious crime to lose his head.
Kangxi was angry and furious, and asked, "How old is the emperor?"
Yang Qilong blushed a little before saying "nineteen".
Everyone looked at him, and there was an uproar.
Jianning couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Maybe you never look in the mirror? You look like 39, and you dare to pretend to be a young emperor, it's too outrageous!"
Kangxi stepped forward at this time and said: "You say you are the emperor, but do you have proof, do you have the jade seal with you?"
Yang Qilong said as a matter of course: "My jade seal is in Qianqing Palace, how could it be taken out casually!"
Kangxi said: "Okay, you don't have a certificate as a fake emperor, but I do have a certificate as an emperor, and I carry a small seal with me to show you."
As he spoke, he took off a private seal on his waist, and a golden dragon head seal made of all gold, shining brightly under the warm yellow candlelight in the hall, looked like a treasure at first glance.
Seeing the reactions of the two parties, the old imam already felt that this matter was very strange, so he quickly ordered people to go back and block the doorways tightly, and no one should leave until the matter was dealt with clearly.
The people brought by Yang Qilong were a little anxious seeing this situation.
Kangxi said to Tuhai: "You see, the world is bad now, and monsters are rampant, so don't do anything!"
After Tuhai received the order, he immediately sent people to besiege him, and the two sides fought fiercely to the death, and the gate was closed just now, even if someone wanted to take the road and escape.
The people brought by Yang Qilong were not weak in force, and each of them could stand against a hundred. The old imam and the others had watched for so long, and already felt that Yang Qilong's side was the bad guy, and Kangxi's side was the good guy.The strong men of the Hui nationality also joined the battle to deal with Yang Qilong and his party, vowing to arrest the bad guys.
Yang Qilong saw that there were too many people on the other side, which made the situation unfavorable to him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Set fire! Set fire!"
According to his words, his subordinates picked up the candlesticks and lit them around. The flames ignited the curtains, tablecloths, curtains and other things. As soon as the fire started, there was thick smoke everywhere. There were still so many people in the temple, and the guards at the gate had to close the gate. Open it and let the people go out one after another.
There was a chill in Kangxi's eyes. They discussed in the palace to use fire as a sign, and twelve mosques in other places would do it together. This was a secret discussion between him and several ministers, and even Jianning didn't know it.
Now it seems that the other party is very clear about their secret signal!That's why I set fire to it!
Kangxi immediately thought that there were spies in the palace!
Yang Qilong did not know where to recruit those people, their martial arts were not weak, Tu Hai and the others had to worry about the emperor's safety, and also worried about the Hui people present, so they couldn't gain the upper hand for a while, but the guards were injured one after another.
Kangxi saw that Moju and Moxiang were all protecting him and Jianning, and there were imperial guards by his side, and felt that the battle situation over there was very unfavorable, so he said to the two of them: "One person stays to protect Gege, and the other one goes to kill that Yang Qilong. Catch it for me! Live or die!"
"Yes!" Mo Ju stayed behind, and Mo Xiang had already responded. They couldn't stand that arrogant Yang Qilong daring to pretend to be the emperor.
Although Yang Qilong also had some martial arts skills, he was no match for Mo Xiang, and no one else could do anything about her erratic figure.After a few rounds, Yang Qilong was firmly arrested.
It is said that Wang Huo was captured first when the thief was captured, the group of people panicked when they saw the leader was captured, Tu Hai and the others also took advantage of this to capture them one after another, only escaping one or two fish that slipped through the net.
mobilized at this time
Tang Ruowang and his student Nan Huairen, who was also his right-hand man during the experiment, walked towards Kangxi: "Your Majesty, you are here."
Kangxi nodded and said, "Tang Aiqing, I haven't asked you why you insist on setting the test site outside the palace?"
Tang Ruowang said: "Your Majesty, the palace is too small to test the power of the Shenwu cannon, not to mention the loud noise after firing the cannon. I am afraid that I will disturb the empress dowager and other nobles in the palace."
Kangxi smiled lightly and said: "You actually said that the imperial palace is too small, I'm afraid you are the first person to say that, well, since you think the huge martial arts arena in the palace is not enough to test it. The name Shenwu Cannon It's loud, but I don't know how it works."
Kangxi was already in high spirits, and he also knew that this experiment would probably not disappoint him, otherwise Tang Ruowang and others wouldn't be so swearing.But in front of the Tsarist Russian envoys, he still had to act like he was done.
Nan Huairen said: "This name was chosen by His Highness the Third Princess, and I think it's very suitable."
Gorney obviously didn't expect that there would be Europeans who would bow down to Kangxi in the court of the Qing Dynasty. From their accents, one could tell that they were from Western Europe, and it was obvious that these white-skinned people like herself had received the approval of the Qing emperor. reuse.
Gorney thought: But this is not the point, the most important thing is to see how powerful the artillery is, otherwise it will not help if they blow out flowers.
Kangxi obviously understood this truth, waved his hand and said, "Let's begin."
Tang Ruowang went to the cannon that had been set up earlier and took off the red cloth covering the cannon. Both Kangxi and the courtiers could see that the cannon was bigger than the ones they had seen before.
Jianning also stepped down from the high platform at this time, took a bunch of torches, and after Nan Huairen installed the gunpowder, he lit the fuze himself.
Everyone only heard a loud bang, and their eardrums shook. A small wooden house about a hundred feet away in the distance was mercilessly blasted to the ground. The flames of the explosion rose several feet high, and the wooden boards were burning , allowing people to see the distance clearly.
Seeing this scene, all the ministers couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then applauded loudly, and started discussing one after another.
Regardless of the roar in his ears, Kangxi stood up almost immediately at the moment of the explosion and looked into the distance.
Gorney stretched his neck to look at the place where the fire was still burning, and couldn't help but click his tongue.Unexpectedly, this power does not seem to be inferior to the firearm technology that Russia is proud of!
Jianning turned his head and said, "Brother Emperor, it was my negligence. I forgot to ask you to cover your ears. Please cover your ears this time, and I will light another cannon."
At this time, Tang Ruowang was adjusting something on the gun body, and after adjusting, he made a gesture of yes.Nan Huairen reloaded the gunpowder and fired the second cannon.Even farther than before!
Visually, at least two hundred feet away from here, another small wooden house was engulfed in flames.
With the lessons learned from the past and Sangege's reminder, everyone covered their ears long ago. Although their ears were not impacted, the ground under their feet could visibly shake.
Kangxi looked over with burning eyes, "This cannon can adjust its range freely, and its power is still undiminished?"
Jianning said, "Not bad."
Even though he was sitting on the entire country, knowing that he had this kind of technology, Kangxi couldn't help swallowing, so as not to make his throat look so dry, he asked, "Is the experiment over?"
Jianning said: "There is still one shot, please wait patiently." After speaking, he signaled Nan Huairen to load the gunpowder.
This time there is no need to remind them three times, because they are standing on a high place, and some of the ministers have already discovered the cabin that is the farthest away. Looking at the other side so that everyone can see it, he said: "Look, there seems to be a similar cabin over there, but it is too far away, and it may not be possible to hit it, but I think it is only the power of the first two shots. The Shenwu Cannon has reached its peak, not to mention that Wu Sangui can't stand such a strong firepower, even if the old man who is good at cannons and muskets comes, equipped with such weapons, our Qing army can blast them back to their hometown!"
All the ministers agreed one after another, and also felt that Sangege and Tang Ruowang were a little eager for quick success and quick success, and they pursued further one after another.But everyone has already decided in their hearts that even if they fail to hit the target cabin this time, they will never pour cold water or make ironic remarks. The results of the first two shots are enough for them to praise this invention to the sky.
They didn't think for too long, and with a bang, the last cabin was also engulfed in flames.
Everyone showed expressions of disbelief.
At this time, the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Mercy Ning was also shaken. Everyone in the room panicked and turned around: "What happened? It's an earthquake! Hurry up and protect the Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager sat firmly on the bed and said, "Why panic! It's not an earthquake! Jianning sent someone to say that they were going to test some firearms outside the palace today, but this movement is indeed a bit loud."
Aunt Su Mala waited on her side, served another cup of hot tea and said, "San Gege has always been very considerate, if she hadn't sent someone to tell me this in advance, we would have panicked too."
Such a frantic scene was being staged in every palace, and Jianning's subordinates were limited, and they only told the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Jing, but with these few people present, the palace would not panic because of this news.
At the back of the mountain, Jianning walked back to the emperor at this time, and said slowly: "The last target is five hundred feet away from here. Brother Emperor, you have also seen that the range of this cannon can be adjusted. Father Tang is studying farther and farther. Accurate shooting, but I think for the current battlefield, this level is enough."
When Kangxi heard this, he was already ecstatic, but he still maintained the calmness that a monarch should have, and said: "It is indeed enough! I don't know the power of the artillery of the Ministry of War before, and it can be achieved in a short period of time. I am very pleased with this achievement.”
He said vigorously: "If you have meritorious service, you should be rewarded. Come on! Give Tang Ruowang a first-class uncle, give him double-eyed feathers, and give him a yellow jacket! Give Nan Huairen a hundred taels of gold, and be promoted to two levels. All other craftsmen who have made contributions will also be rewarded. "
As soon as the words fell, the voice of thanking you was endless.
Kangxi looked at Jianning, and Jianning half-jokingly said: "My reward is definitely indispensable. After returning to the palace, Jianning will go to the emperor's brother to ask for the reward." As she spoke, she winked at Kangxi, Let him pay attention to Gorni who has been dumbfounded for a long time.
Only then did Kangxi think of him, and said, "Ambassador, you have already seen the firearms of our Qing Dynasty. How do they compare with your Tsarist Russia?"
It took a while for Gorney to come back to his senses. He blinked and stared at his tired eyes in the distance, and said, "Your Majesty the Qing Emperor, today Gorney is really an eye-opener."
Kangxi asked: "I don't know what the envoy thinks about the power of our country's mighty cannon?"
Gorni said in a sincerely convinced way: "Awesome! Not only is it amazingly powerful, but it also has a hundred shots, which is even better than the firearms of the evil country. After I return to the country, I will definitely implore His Majesty the Tsar and your country to become a brotherly state, and there will be no more wars from now on." .”
Only then did Kangxi laugh loudly, and said: "It's best if it's so natural. If the emperor of your country still insists on encroaching on our Qing territory, don't forget what I said before, and tell him straight!"
"Yes!"
After setting the diplomatic tone, Gorney couldn't bear it anymore and asked Tang Ruowang who was standing not far from him: "Which country are you from? Is this amazing power a technology from your own country? Can I bid for it?" A cannon for research?" He knew that the owner of this world's leading technology would not really teach these technologies to others, so he just tentatively proposed to buy a sample back.
Tang Ruowang said kindly: "I am from Germany. These achievements are the crystallization of the wisdom of the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty, not from my motherland. What's more, I have been in the Qing Dynasty for more than 30 years, and this is also my motherland. How can I It will betray it. Your Excellency, Ambassador of Tsarist Russia, if you have any intention to purchase, please talk directly to His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."
Kangxi just glanced at him with a half-smile, and Gorney was discouraged. He was no longer as arrogant as before, and he talked about buying cannons. When you arrive, you will depart for your home country.
The two sides have been at war for more than a year, and Wu Sangui's momentum from the very beginning, sent his troops northward to capture Hunan, and has the potential to sweep the world.Now that Wu Sangui has been guarding Hunan, he has been vacillating whether to send troops south or cross the river north.
Emperor Kangxi saw Wu Sangui's indecision, and always wanted to go to the imperial conquest in person, and meet this hero for a while.But none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty agreed with this matter. They always had a lot of reasons to prevent him from going to the battlefield.
Suo'etu said that the emperor's personal expedition must be absolutely certain of victory.Because the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, mortals can be defeated, but the Son of Heaven cannot be defeated. Otherwise, his image as the Emperor will be greatly reduced in the hearts of the people and ministers, so the Emperor cannot afford to govern himself.
Kangxi agreed with his words in his heart, but he was still brooding over the fact that he could not go to the battlefield in person. He strongly wanted to see what the front line that caused chaos and half of the country fell.
When the country was in turmoil, ghosts and monsters from all over the world also appeared on the stage one after another.
Even when Kangxi was in peace, he had been paying close attention to illegal organizations everywhere, because he knew how hidden dangers these demagogic organizations would pose to the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
Recently, Kangxi received a report that a secret organization called Sanlang Xianghui gradually emerged, and they have grown to nearly 200 million followers in various places!
Kangxi knew that there was such an anti-Qing church in the country, and he couldn't even sleep peacefully!
Even without Wu Sangui's current rebellion, an organization with so many believers is enough to cause a lot of trouble for the Qing Dynasty.And such an organization has been dormant before, and now it is taking advantage of the instability of the people to come out to deceive the public. It is definitely not a good thing to know without thinking about it!
The known leader of his organization is Yang Qilong, a remnant of the former Ming Dynasty.He also secretly went to Wuhua Mountain in Yunnan to meet with Wu Sangui, and the two parties may have colluded!
But Kangxi's troubles are far more than that. The capital city in Xia Dynasty was originally calm and peaceful, but recently, rumors of chaos came out from nowhere.There is a song often sung by children playing on the street corners of the capital: "Four mouths turn against each other, and the world will be scattered. The sun and the moon shine together and the five stars are connected. When the time comes, we will end together. I advise you to do good!"
Kangxi called Suo'etu, Zhou Peigong, Mingzhu and other Manchu and Han ministers to ponder the meaning of this poem together, and it took a long time before they had a clue. It is a Ming character, so the meaning of this song is that the Huis are going to rebel, and it is against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Tuhai, who has been promoted to the admiral of the Nine Gates, reported a strange incident. For more than ten days in a row, the Muslims in the capital gathered in the mosque in the evening, and they would not go home until dawn. I don’t know what they were doing secretly. thing.Especially the mosque in Niujie, where the largest number of people gathered.
This kind of secret gathering was absolutely forbidden by the Kangxi Dynasty's repeated imperial edicts. They would not be ignorant of it, so it was intentional at all.
Combining these two things together means that Huihui will rebel, and they are already preparing intensively and secretly, and it may explode at any time.Now that he had known about their plot in advance, Kangxi would not let this kind of thing happen, and had already sent someone to exterminate it that night.
Before dinner, an eunuch quietly walked in and reported: "Master, the signboard for the cleaning room has arrived, please turn over the signboard."
Kangxi felt a little irritable, and didn't even look at the signs, and said directly: "Take it away, don't turn over the signs."
The concubines in the harem are intriguing, and every word they say can set a trap for others, or have the purpose of pleasing him.If he was in a good mood, Kangxi would go to the harem for a walk, but if he was in a bad mood, those people's various expressions would easily offend him.So since the start of the war, everything has been suppressed, and most of the time he stayed alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Yes, the slave will go and order the imperial dining room to prepare meals."
Kangxi said: "Go and invite San Gege over personally, and ask her to finish the meal with me."
Li Dequan, the chief eunuch, responded, and went to Yuqing Palace in person. A familiar person came to Jianning, called Qianer and said, "San Gege, you haven't finished your meal yet, Lord Long Live, please come and come with us." !"
Jianning has not been idle since finishing her last errand, the emperor continued to ask her to supervise the production of cannons by the Ministry of Industry.It is also necessary to ensure the quality, and to quickly produce a batch of finished products, so that this heavy-duty and destructive weapon can be sent to the front line, which can deter the enemy and stabilize the morale of the army.
The people in the Ministry of Industry dare not neglect the orders given by the emperor, even if they intend to neglect, with three Gege standing here, they can only do their best, rush to work day and night, and ship the goods in the fastest and best way.
Jianning often eats with Xuanye, and he doesn't feel flattered at all by others.It's just that she found that he seemed a little absent-minded today, Jianning couldn't help but tapped the porcelain bowl with jade chopsticks, making a series of crisp knocking sounds, so as to bring him back to his senses, "Brother Emperor, what are you thinking, you can't concentrate on eating .”
The maids and eunuchs in the palace hurriedly lowered their heads, fearing that San Gege's disrespectful behavior would make the emperor angry. Although the emperor never got angry with San Gege in the past, the servants always lowered their heads subconsciously. It seems to be able to escape the wrath of the master.
Kangxi had been eating absent-mindedly, but when she saw through, he simply put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I was thinking, why is the world so peaceful!"
Jianning thought he was talking about the war in the Southwest, so he also put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "By the way, you sent Xiao Guizi to look for that thing, do you have any clues?"
Kangxi said with a sullen face: "He can't get close to Wu Sangui's mansion in Wuhua Mountain, let alone a large camp."
A small book is very easy to collect, but it is not easy for others to find it without any clues.Even Xiao Guizi's cleverness has hit a wall, and Kangxi feels that there is little hope of finding him.
Jianning didn't want to give up so soon, she thought for a while and said, "The matter is very important at this time, and we must find it! Let me go!"
Kangxi didn't care about being bothered, and said in disbelief: "You? What are you going to do?!"
Jianning said: "I'm serious. If he can't find it, it doesn't mean I can't find it either. Let me try."
Kangxi smiled wryly and shook his head: "Of course I know you're serious. But I can't promise you."
Kangxi suddenly said seriously: "Since you have the courage to bravely break into the enemy's camp, maybe I have other things for you to do, which are not simpler than this one."
Seeing his serious expression, Jianning knew that it was a big deal, and said, "Then please do not hesitate to ask Brother Emperor, I will definitely do my best."
Kangxi said: "I'll talk about this matter later, and I need to think it over again. It's just that I have other worries today, so I can't think about that for the time being."
Jianning didn't have the kind of cautiousness that can't inquire about state secrets, and said: "What is it that makes you unable to eat, brother emperor? Although I may not be able to share your worries if you tell me, it is said that what is in your heart Find someone to talk about things, and it will also make the mood much better."
Kangxi knew that he was not the kind of person who would feel better when he poured out his problems, unless that person could provide a practical solution, but he still said to Jianning: "Today is the day to send troops to encircle and suppress Huihui. It didn't come, so I feel a little uneasy."
Jianning was surprised: "Huihui, are they Hui people? What happened to them? Why did the emperor's brother send troops to encircle and suppress them?"
Kangxi couldn't eat anymore anyway, so he waved people away, and slowly told Jianning the ins and outs of the matter.
Who knew that she would frown tighter the more she listened, and suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "When will you start acting?"
At this moment, a palace official came to report: "Your Majesty, General Tuhai is asking to see you."
Kangxi said: "You can ask Tuhai yourself, this matter has been handed over to Admiral Jiumen."
After Tu Hai walked in and saluted, he said in a low voice: "Long live, according to your order, the troops to encircle and suppress the twelve mosques in the capital have been properly deployed. The Niujie Mosque is the largest stronghold, and this servant plans to personally lead troops to capture People, and burn them, and other places will use the fire as a sign, and together, we can wipe out the Hui people's rebellion in one fell swoop."
Kangxi nodded to express his satisfaction, but Jianning immediately said: "Brother Emperor, if I heard you right, you predicted that the Muslims would rebel based on a nursery rhyme and abnormal night gatherings. I read some miscellaneous Some of them record the customs of the Hui people. They have a festival called Eid al-Fitr, which is the two major festivals of Islam along with Eid al-Adha. From dawn to sunset, except for those who are sick, adult Muslims must strictly fast, not eating or drinking, until the sun goes down, and then the imam should preach and preach the Koran in the mosque, and they will leave until late at night. Eat at home. Is there any other convincing evidence for Huihui’s rebellion? It’s not a misunderstanding, is it?”
Listening to Jianning's words, Kangxi's brows became more and more frowned, and finally his face was ashen. "There is no other evidence! It is precisely because there is not enough evidence for their rebellion, and I have to take precautions before they happen, that I feel uneasy! This is not a misunderstanding at all, it seems to be a conspiracy specifically aimed at Huihui and the court!"
Listening to San Gege's words, Tu Hai was already in a cold sweat, thinking: The troops have been deployed, as long as there is a fire somewhere, tens of thousands of people will fall to the ground!The Muslims are notoriously united. If the Muslims in the capital are arrested for rebellion, the Muslims all over the country will rise up to resist.He hurriedly said: "Master please decide!"
Kangxi immediately ordered: "Let all the soldiers not act rashly, cancel the use of fire as the sign, and let us know if there are any orders."
Tuhai said: "Your servant will do it now!"
Watching him walk out of the hall quickly, Kangxi said: "I have been on the throne for ten years, why have I never heard of these habits of the Hui people? Didn't they celebrate this Eid al-Fitr before?"
Jian Ning said: "According to the records, it should be passed every year. As for why it surfaced in this way this year, I have to find out by the emperor himself."
Either the Muslims really did not have these seemingly abnormal actions for outsiders in the past few years, or the investigators concealed the news.
Kangxi suddenly asked someone to change into regular clothes for him: "What's going on, I'll go and see for myself!"
Jianning understood, and said, "Are you going to the Niujie Mosque? I'm going too!" She ran back to Yuqing Palace to change without waiting for Kangxi to agree to turn around. Go out to the street.
When she came back to Qianqing Palace with Mo Ju Mo Xiang in a hurry, she found that Kangxi had already taken care of herself and was waiting for her.
The two talked while walking, and Jianning asked, "Why are you waiting for me so nicely? I thought the emperor's brother would not allow me to go."
Kangxi said rather helplessly: "Even if I don't take you with me, you can run out of the palace by yourself, so you might as well keep it by your side and watch."
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Tu Hai had already returned to report that the new order had been issued, and all the soldiers of the Nine Gates would stand still and wait for the emperor's order.
Tuhai immediately knew that Kangxi was going to bring Jianning to Niujie in person, so he ordered some of the most powerful imperial guards to follow him, and asked dozens of people to dress up as ordinary people and scatter them around to prevent any accidents.But there are tens of thousands of Muslims on Niu Street, if they really rioted, these people would not be enough to ensure the safety of the emperor and Ge Ge, so Tu Hai urgently sent his deputy to dispatch troops.
Walking on the street in the evening, the flowers are fragrant, and the people around are talking or laughing, and they walk towards the big mosque on the corner of the street that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Kangxi looked at the bustling people on the side of the road, there were carefree children chasing each other, pregnant women with their stomachs on their heads, and even young adults with smiles on their eyes and brows, but there was no one who seemed to be plotting to rebel That kind of mess.
Tu Hai was also secretly surprised. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that such a large group of people gathered in the evening to discuss the festival, but the facts are often jaw-dropping.
Jianning walked beside an old man with white beard and hair and wearing a white Hui hat on his head, and said, "Old man, you also want to go to the mosque."
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, I was late when I went out with my legs and feet, and I was the last one. The children in the family went to occupy the space early."
He also chatted with Jianning: "Little girl, are you ready for the festival?"
Jian Ning said, "To tell you the truth, I'm not a Huiren, but I'm a little curious to see how lively this place is, so I followed to have a look."
The old man said kindly, "Oh, most of the people living on Niujie are Hui people. Now that you've caught up, let's take a look. It's very rare."
Jianning asked, "Why do you say it's rare?"
The old man said: "We haven't celebrated this Eid al-Fitr for many years. In the first few years, there was a lot of chaos, and in the next few years, the situation was not good. Later, Ao Zhongtang was rebuilt. Alas! Thanks to the blessing of Lord Kangxi, Our life in the capital is more stable, and this year's Eid al-Fitr is going to be celebrated, but we will miss another year."
Kangxi Tuhai and others have already understood why only Huihui people celebrate this festival this year.
Kangxi intervened and said, "There is another fight in the south, and it's not a good time."
The old man looked at him and said, "That's right, the war has started, but the court is still very stable, the price of rice and salt hasn't risen much, it's about the same as in previous years, and everyone has just accumulated holiday things in their hands."
The old man has already entered the mosque with the footsteps of the crowd.
Tu Haiqi said: "Long live, the truth of the matter has been revealed, there is no need for you to go to the mosque."
At this moment, a group of people came straight to them, headed by a young man in his 40s and [-]s with two beards. The man walked up to Kangxi, looked at him with bright eyes, and said: "This Brother, you are also here to see the fun? Why don't you just follow me in and have a look?"
Jianning felt his strong malice, and pulled Kangxi's sleeve to tell him not to go. Kangxi also stared at the man, and said, "You know me? I don't know who you are?"
The man smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I, Yang Qilong, feel that brother Taiwan is just kind-hearted, and it is fate to meet each other, so I specially invite you to watch a big play together, don't you dare?"
During Kangxi's southern tour, he made public appearances.There were thousands if not tens of thousands of onlookers. Yang Qilong hid in the crowd at that time and secretly glanced at Kangxi.How could he forget the emperor's appearance, and naturally recognized him at a glance.
Kangxi chewed on the name, "Yang Qilong" seems to have heard of it somewhere, "Yang Qilong?" Isn't it the initiator of the Sanlang Township Association!
Kangxi thought that a traitorous minister dared to run in front of me and speak loudly!Kangxi naturally wanted to see what tricks he was playing.
Just at this time, the door of the mosque was not closed, and Kangxi strode towards the mosque.Seeing this scene, Tu Hai looked at Jianning: "Do you want to stop this?"
Jianning had no choice but to follow up, and said to Tuhai: "The soldiers will cover the water and soil, are we still afraid of him!"
Yang Qilong saw the group of them walking to the front, as if he had just become a follower, he was a little annoyed, and waved his hand: "This man is so brave, since this is the case, let's teach him a lesson that he will never forget! Let's go too!"
In the mosque, all the Muslims found their seats, either sitting or standing, listening intently to the imam above who began to preach scriptures and sermons.
The imam said: "Allah said: Do not follow your selfish desires and become selfish. Those who do good deeds as heavy as an ant will see their good roots; those who do evil deeds as heavy as an ant will see their evil rewards. Don't hate each other, don't Be jealous of each other, and do not resist each other; be like brothers, servants of Allah..."
Everyone is listening attentively. This is the words in the Quran. Every time the imam will say a proverb, and then explain it to them word by word, or explain the truth in the form of a short story.Every time the children listened to a story with gusto, the adults were more serious and no one would disturb them.
Today, however, there was a discordant voice, and only one person shouted loudly: "Fart! Everyone is the servant of Allah! Then who is the servant of our Qing emperor? You Muslims, you don't have the emperor in your eyes at all. Want to rebel!"
Kangxi looked over with cold eyes, and found that the person who said this was the person brought by Yang Qilong. At this time, that Yang Qilong was looking at Kangxi's reaction proudly.
Jianning knew that things would not be easy, and the other party finally made trouble, and she was happy to watch their performance.
As soon as the man's words fell, some people in the temple rioted. The imam quickly suppressed everyone's voices and said, "This brother is wrong. Allah is the Allah of the sky, and the emperor is the king of the earth. There is no conflict between the two sides." .We are the people of the Qing Dynasty. We love the emperor as much as we love Allah. We have never despised the emperor's prestige, let alone rebellion."
The person who spoke before said again: "How dare you argue! Every night you close the door and gather here secretly. Don't you know that we issued an edict early in the morning to not allow private gatherings! And you have been doing this for a long time! It’s been more than half a month, and the government didn’t come to arrest you, yet you still don’t repent! You were caught by my general Tuhai today! What else can you deny!”
The Hui people were shocked by his tone and momentum, and he clearly looked like a high-ranking official when he spoke, while ordinary people were always reluctant to provoke officials.But this person was really wronging them, and then came to the Eid al-Fitr ceremony to make a fuss.Some vigorous young men were already glaring at their group.
The old imam wanted to calm things down and wanted to explain, but there was a conflict over there. Yang Qilong's men punched a young man who wanted to come forward to argue, and knocked him to the ground. They were obviously masters of martial arts. The power is great.Those who were beaten could not get up for a long time.
Seeing the bleeding compatriots on the ground, more Hui people came forward to argue angrily, and some women panicked and screamed.
Behind Kangxi, Tu Hai already had a rather ugly face, angry and unbelievable, as if he never thought that his identity would be impersonated!
I only heard another person shouting over there: "Okay, you not only gathered people to make trouble today, but also dared to startle the holy car. It is an unforgivable crime! I am Wei Dongting, the first-rank imperial guard with a knife! I will call the army and kill you rebellious officials and thieves!" Take them all! Sweep away this riotous Niujie!"
Several people around Yang Qilong knocked down the surrounding Muslims one after another.The more people were injured, the more terrified and chaotic the people in the mosque became.
Only then did Kangxi sneer and said, "What am I supposed to be? It turns out that today's show is actually a double dragon meeting!" The meeting of two emperors, one real and one fake, really made him feel unique.
Jianning didn't panic either, and said calmly, "What kind of Double Dragon Club is this? It's just a real dragon and a bug!"
Yang Qilong looked at Jianning with a cold light in his eyes, "What? It seems that someone doubts our identity."
Kangxi said: "You have all inquired about the names of the imperial guards, and they are looking for someone to play them one by one. It seems that there is still a lack of a real dragon emperor. Could it be you?"
Yang Qilong said contemptuously and proudly: "Yes, I am the current Emperor Kangxi."
As soon as his words fell, the dissatisfied Muslims around him froze, not daring to move.The imam standing on top took the opportunity to silence the crowd.
Everyone didn't know if what this person said was true or not, but a person as old as the old imam had never seen anyone who dared to pretend to be the emperor, that would be a serious crime to lose his head.
Kangxi was angry and furious, and asked, "How old is the emperor?"
Yang Qilong blushed a little before saying "nineteen".
Everyone looked at him, and there was an uproar.
Jianning couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Maybe you never look in the mirror? You look like 39, and you dare to pretend to be a young emperor, it's too outrageous!"
Kangxi stepped forward at this time and said: "You say you are the emperor, but do you have proof, do you have the jade seal with you?"
Yang Qilong said as a matter of course: "My jade seal is in Qianqing Palace, how could it be taken out casually!"
Kangxi said: "Okay, you don't have a certificate as a fake emperor, but I do have a certificate as an emperor, and I carry a small seal with me to show you."
As he spoke, he took off a private seal on his waist, and a golden dragon head seal made of all gold, shining brightly under the warm yellow candlelight in the hall, looked like a treasure at first glance.
Seeing the reactions of the two parties, the old imam already felt that this matter was very strange, so he quickly ordered people to go back and block the doorways tightly, and no one should leave until the matter was dealt with clearly.
The people brought by Yang Qilong were a little anxious seeing this situation.
Kangxi said to Tuhai: "You see, the world is bad now, and monsters are rampant, so don't do anything!"
After Tuhai received the order, he immediately sent people to besiege him, and the two sides fought fiercely to the death, and the gate was closed just now, even if someone wanted to take the road and escape.
The people brought by Yang Qilong were not weak in force, and each of them could stand against a hundred. The old imam and the others had watched for so long, and already felt that Yang Qilong's side was the bad guy, and Kangxi's side was the good guy.The strong men of the Hui nationality also joined the battle to deal with Yang Qilong and his party, vowing to arrest the bad guys.
Yang Qilong saw that there were too many people on the other side, which made the situation unfavorable to him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Set fire! Set fire!"
According to his words, his subordinates picked up the candlesticks and lit them around. The flames ignited the curtains, tablecloths, curtains and other things. As soon as the fire started, there was thick smoke everywhere. There were still so many people in the temple, and the guards at the gate had to close the gate. Open it and let the people go out one after another.
There was a chill in Kangxi's eyes. They discussed in the palace to use fire as a sign, and twelve mosques in other places would do it together. This was a secret discussion between him and several ministers, and even Jianning didn't know it.
Now it seems that the other party is very clear about their secret signal!That's why I set fire to it!
Kangxi immediately thought that there were spies in the palace!
Yang Qilong did not know where to recruit those people, their martial arts were not weak, Tu Hai and the others had to worry about the emperor's safety, and also worried about the Hui people present, so they couldn't gain the upper hand for a while, but the guards were injured one after another.
Kangxi saw that Moju and Moxiang were all protecting him and Jianning, and there were imperial guards by his side, and felt that the battle situation over there was very unfavorable, so he said to the two of them: "One person stays to protect Gege, and the other one goes to kill that Yang Qilong. Catch it for me! Live or die!"
"Yes!" Mo Ju stayed behind, and Mo Xiang had already responded. They couldn't stand that arrogant Yang Qilong daring to pretend to be the emperor.
Although Yang Qilong also had some martial arts skills, he was no match for Mo Xiang, and no one else could do anything about her erratic figure.After a few rounds, Yang Qilong was firmly arrested.
It is said that Wang Huo was captured first when the thief was captured, the group of people panicked when they saw the leader was captured, Tu Hai and the others also took advantage of this to capture them one after another, only escaping one or two fish that slipped through the net.
