[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

"Rest, rest for a while..."

Jiang Ling repeated his words in a murmur, a little confused.

Kangxi pinched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? Just now I was a little tired after being outside for a whole morning, so I will rest here for a while. It will not be too late to deal with the rest of the matter in the afternoon." Seeing Jiang Ling expression, couldn't help laughing out loud again.

Jiang Ling was a little embarrassed by his disturbance, turned his head slightly, and whispered: "Your Majesty."

A kiss as soft as a feather fell on her cheek, and Kangxi corrected beside her ear: "It's Xuanye."

Jiang Ling held his hand, closed her eyes, and called Xuan Ye softly.Sure enough, another gentle and soft kiss ensued.Fragments of sunlight sprinkled from the window, shone sparsely on the body, not as hot as midsummer, but rather warm.

Kangxi lay sideways on the couch, wrapped her in his arms as usual, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Jiang Ling also closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, casting a fan-shaped shadow in the sunlight.She didn't feel sleepy, but the scene was so peaceful and beautiful that she couldn't help but want to stop for a while longer.The emperor beside him had gradually fallen asleep, his chest rose and fell, and his breathing was long, as if he had fallen into a dream.

Jiang Ling raised his fingertips slightly, exuding a faint fragrance, which suddenly dissipated in an instant.

Let him sleep quietly for a while.Thinking to himself, Jiang Ling leaned into Kangxi's arms and closed her eyes again.

Time passed slowly, and the man beside him was already sound asleep.

Jiang Ling's eyes closed and opened again, her long eyelashes drooping down, concealing all her emotions unconsciously.

The sun moved its position little by little, from one end of the treetops to the other, and even the sunlight began to become dazzling.She raised her fingertip again, flicked it lightly, and a gust of cool wind wafted into the room, dispelling the surrounding heat.Jiang Ling played it several times in succession, and gusts of cool wind blew out. It wasn't as severe as winter, but it dispelled the heat wave in the afternoon well.

She raised her head from Kangxi's arms, looked at him for a long time, then slowly stretched out her hand to block the sunlight in front of him.

Sunlight poured down from the window, shining on the back of Jiang Ling's hands, casting a shadow.Her palm is not big, the shadow can just cover his eyes, and if it goes down, it can't cover it.Some time ago, Jiang Ling found some faint bluish-black spots under Kangxi's eyes, but now they disappeared.She thought, it should be because he had a good rest during this period.

Yes, but.

Why can he still rest well during the big wedding for three days and three nights?

It's not fair, t_t

Jiang Ling felt annoyed secretly for a while, then thought again that he seemed to have no reason to be distressed.In the past three or four years, except for some lethargy during pregnancy, her energy was actually more vigorous than Kangxi during the rest of the time.Even if you are extremely tired, you can recover after a little sleep.

The sun moved to the west a little bit, and the sun became stronger and stronger.

Jiang Ling changed her hand again, and leaned on Kangxi's chest, thinking, in fact, there is nothing wrong with going on like this.She thought for a while, then lay in his arms again, listening to the ups and downs of her heartbeat beside her ears, she unconsciously closed her eyes again.

An indescribable feeling spread from the bottom of her heart.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Ling changed hands a total of three or four times before he felt that the sun seemed to be less violent.Suddenly, someone gently grabbed her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, and rubbed her palm with his thumb, which was a little itchy.

She raised her head from Kangxi's arms, looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Has the emperor rested enough?"

"It's Xuanye." Kangxi corrected him solemnly.He held her hand, kissed her fingers one by one, and said vaguely: "It is enough to rest, but when I woke up, I saw that my queen hadn't rested, so she must be tired." He sat sideways while speaking. Get up, gently press her on the couch, brush her cheek with fingertips: "Take a rest, I will go to the front and have a look."

Jiang Ling was pressed under a thin quilt by him, struggled lightly a few times, and then stopped moving.

Kangxi leaned over and kissed her forehead again, then got up and went outside to review the memorial.Jiang Ling closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that the sun was a bit harsh, so he got up and trimmed his hair and skirt.Although Kangxi asked her to rest, he didn't let her lie here to rest, she should just sit for a while.

Not long after, Director Liang's voice came from outside, as if someone was going to face him.

Kangxi pondered for a while, then said: "Let them in."

Manager Liang outside sighed, bowed and left, and called people in.Jiang Ling got up and walked behind the screen, and after listening to it for a while, he realized that it was several officials who were sent to the west two years ago, and they just arrived in the capital the day before yesterday, and they were going to play a role in tomorrow's court meeting.But before that, they had to meet the emperor first, and tell the emperor what they were going to play tomorrow.

Those officials mentioned a little about things in the UK, and also mentioned several neighboring countries.But because their time in Europe is still short, and they have some language barriers, they don't know much about them.However, when they were doing things, Kangxi's understanding of Western countries, especially the understanding of the so-called Great Britain, surprised the envoys, and they dared not fool Kangxi again.

Jiang Ling smiled behind the screen.

In the past few years, she has been instilling Western knowledge into Kangxi.As of today, I finally saw the results.

After discussing with the courtiers for a while, an official proposed to open a school in Fujian and other places, specializing in the art of navigation.The official said convincingly that although they saw a lot of good things in the Western countries this time, what shocked them the most was the age of great navigation in the European countries.While envious, he wanted to learn from them in shipbuilding and sailing, so as not to lose his head in front of Westerners in the future.

Jiang Ling pondered for a while, this official should be open-minded, I hope Kangxi...

After a while, Jiang Ling was behind the screen and heard Kangxi's voice summoning the ministers in charge of the guards.In addition, there are also Lifanyuan, as well as officials stationed in the capital by various Taoist governments.Jiang Ling guessed that at this point, he really shouldn't listen anymore, but he didn't know when Kangxi would stop.

Sure enough, after a while, the conversation outside stopped.

Kangxi took a blank piece of paper and wrote a few strokes on it.

The paper was circulated by the officials and returned to Kangxi.Kangxi said lightly: "Go ahead, do as the above says." Then he rolled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it into the brazier beside him.The charcoal fire in the brazier was about to go out, but when it came into contact with this piece of paper, a small flame sprang up and burned it clean.

It said: yes.There are two roads in Jiangnan and Fujian, choose the two to open.

The officials agreed, bowed and retreated.

Kangxi let out a long breath, his eyes were a little dark, and he wrote on the blank page just now: Order the Ministry of War to increase troops to the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, and then secretly order the governors of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou to investigate the East India Company. Don't laugh. Playing around, just take it easy.

After finishing writing, he locked this page of paper in the box again, waiting for tomorrow to make a decision.

This series of actions didn't make any sound, so Jiang Ling couldn't hear it.She returned to the chair just now, sat for a while, and then looked outside again.The sun has slanted to the other side of the treetops, it should be around two or three quarters in the afternoon.

Kangxi's voice sounded outside again: "Go down, I'll call you later, come in again."

Manager Liang responded, and also retreated, and the outside of the screen became quiet again.

Jiang Ling was at a loss for a while, it seemed a little inappropriate to stay here; but if he walked out of the screen, Kangxi didn't seem to want to be disturbed by others... She hesitated for a while, then walked out of the screen, ten steps away from Kangxi place, stopped.

Kangxi noticed Jiang Ling's movement, raised his head, smiled, and said, "Have you rested enough?"

Jiang Ling hummed lightly, and said, "Yes, it is enough to rest."

"Come to me." Kangxi pointed to a big box in front of the case, and said, "They put all the papers that have been accumulated for two years here for me. There are many words in it, and I don't understand them very well. Since you If you know everything about the West, why not explain it to me."

Jiang Ling hummed softly, and then slowly moved to Kangxi's side, still maintaining a distance of about three steps.Usually at this distance, the small characters on the memorial cannot be seen.In any case, she should be more cautious.

Those so-called memorials that have been deposited for two years are when the officials go to Western countries, they will write a memorial every ten days, but because they are far away in the West, they cannot be delivered to the capital in time, so they are delayed.As for the things in the memorial, they are nothing more than some of the officials' experience overseas and some suggestions for Kangxi.

Of course, Jiang Ling shouldn't look at the latter ones.

The previous ones made her explain well.

Every time Kangxi took a memorial, he would glance back and forth, jump out of what he didn't understand, and ask Jiang Ling or figure it out by himself.Most of the time, Jiang Ling can use "I have seen it before" to prevaricate.Later, Kangxi simply skimmed through all the memorials, but he picked out those that stated things about the West, but he was not clear about them, so he picked them out and asked Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling once asked, is such a move really appropriate?

Kangxi smiled and said, naturally it is appropriate.He wouldn't just listen to Jiang Ling alone, he would have to ask those officials later.But Jiang Ling's words can usually be used as a lie detector, especially when it comes to the affairs of Great Britain and its neighboring countries.

So Jiang Ling stopped worrying too much, and briefly mentioned everything he knew to Kangxi.For some things beyond the limitations of the times, Jiang Ling also vaguely replaced them with "I have heard it before, although it is absurd, but it should be credible, please ask the emperor to check it out".

The two of them stayed inside for a whole afternoon, roughly screening the big box in front of them.

In the evening, Kangxi got up and said, "Follow me to greet Huang Mama. There are some things here, I have to tell Huang Mama."

Jiang Ling said yes.

Immediately, the two of them went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom together, and briefly mentioned what happened just now to the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager didn't have much research on Western affairs, so she just let Kangxi make his own decisions.

That's the end of the matter.

And that night, as a matter of course, Jiang Ling was tortured so hard by him again that his whole body was about to fall apart.

The next day was the Grand Court Meeting, Jiang Ling completely lay down on the bed and couldn't get up.Kangxi left early in the morning, and she didn't get up from the bed until about [-]:[-] a.m., wash and dine as usual, and deal with some trivial palace affairs.

In the morning, the nuns came in to report to her that there was news from Miss Lin that she would give birth in two days.

Jiang Ling wrote her another letter, with only three words on it: Hope you are well.

In ancient times, women's childbirth was always at the door of hell. Although Lin Daiyu's body has been recuperated by her, there are still risks when it comes to childbirth.Jiang Ling has actually experienced these risks.Writing this letter to Lin Daiyu was also Jiang Ling's expectation.

At noon, the nuns came back to report that the letter had been delivered.The little eunuch next to Kangxi came to Yikun Palace just now, and said that the emperor has a lot of political affairs today, and he will return later at night, so that Jiang Ling doesn't have to wait for him.Thinking of the box memorial yesterday, Jiang Ling secretly prayed for him in his heart for three seconds.

The mother said again: "I heard that some important officials came back from the north, and the emperor is busy seeing them."

After Jiang Ling thought about it, something seemed wrong, so he asked, "Didn't you come back from the east?" Officials going to Western countries should leave by boat from the east or south, so naturally they also came back from the east or south Yes, there is something wrong with the word north.

Mammy said: "This servant doesn't know, but just heard a few words by chance."

So Jiang Ling no longer pursued it.After she finished handling the affairs in the palace as usual, she asked someone to hug the little elder brother to her and coaxed her for a while.The little elder brother called Er Niang in a childlike voice, and then habitually threw herself into her arms, thumping, and nestled obediently.

Jiang Ling lowered his head to look at him, the little elder brother was poking Jiang Ling's cuff with his little finger.

As if aware of his mother's gaze, the little elder brother raised his head again and softly called his mother.

Jiang Ling had nothing to do with him, so she hugged him and stood on her lap, looking at his eyes.

The little elder brother's eyes were wet, he blinked twice, then threw himself into Jiang Ling's arms, and grabbed her sleeves to play.After playing for a while, he yawned wearily in her arms and fell asleep.The nanny carried the little elder brother to the side hall, and then came back to report to Jiang Ling: "The little elder brother has been lethargic for the past two days. The servant has already consulted the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said it is all right."

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, and said, "Please worry about it."

Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Ling went back to the Doomsday to take a look.

But this time, Jiang Ling's luck was not very good. He entered and exited the apocalypse several times, but he never landed in a place with a library or a library.She knows that this matter should not be rushed, it depends on luck, and she can't teach the maids outside to see the clues.After several unsuccessful attempts, Jiang Ling ordered hot water to be prepared, took a bath and changed clothes, and lay down on the bed early to rest.

Jiang Ling's sleep was a little light, and he didn't need much sleep, so he woke up after only a short sleep.

When I woke up, it was already late at night, and there were no lights inside and outside the house, only a faint moonlight, illuminating the room hazy.

Kangxi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight outside, wondering what he was thinking.

Jiang Ling opened the curtain, and just about to get up, Kangxi had already heard the movement and turned around. Seeing her wake up, he asked, "But did I wake you up?" After half an hour, he asked again, "But you have to wake up at night?"

Jiang Ling shook his head, got up with only his middle clothes on, walked to Kangxi's side, and asked softly, "Why hasn't the Emperor rested yet?"

Kangxi let out a breath slowly, and said, "I can't sleep." Seeing Jiang Ling walking in front of him, he took her into his arms, wrapped his arms around her waist, and watched the moonlight from the window with her.Jiang Ling leaned on his shoulder, put his hands together in his palms, and stood quietly.

The two were silent for a while, before Kangxi whispered: "They came back from Nerchinsk."

Jiang Ling was startled.

She knew that before the signing of the Nerchinsk Treaty, Kangxi would send two or three groups of people to investigate, and would repeatedly argue with the envoys from Tsarist Russia until it was finalized.But two years ago, she had vaguely reminded Kangxi that the mountains and rivers on the Nerchinsk side should not be used as the boundary. Why are they still arguing now?

Kangxi lowered his head to look at her, showing a smile that he didn't know whether it was helplessness or distress.

"I once negotiated with the Russian Senate to support their Princess Sophia. The Senate is the only one and restricts the tsar. What a mistake." He sighed, "Now things have become normal, the two tsars are ill, Princess Sophia is regent, and several grand dukes are plotting to kill, the place is a mess. In Aihui, There is no time to take care of the Nerchinsk area."

Jiang Ling leaned against his arms and listened quietly.

"I have sent people to investigate several times, and sent several waves of people in succession, but the results are different each time. Some people say that Aihui and Heihe should be used as the boundary, while others say that Shileka should be used as the boundary. The river area is the boundary, and some people say that it should go further north, and the boundary is [-] miles north of the whole territory of Nerchinsk. There has been a stalemate several times. I asked Suo'etu, and he said that we should try our best to stop the fighting."

Jiang Ling raised his head from his arms, a little confused.

Kangxi also looked down at her, and said with a wry smile: "Three months ago, when they were negotiating the treaty, the Junggar tribe attacked again."

Jiang Ling thought of the map before Kangxi's imperial case yesterday afternoon, and gradually understood it.She asked softly, "Why don't we discuss it again?" If Tsarist Russia has already been opened by Kangxi, even if there is a Junggar tribe in the middle, there may not be no room for change.

Kangxi sighed deeply, and said: "I am worried about this matter. If the timing is right, it is indeed possible to go further north, with the boundary of [-] miles north of the whole territory of Nerchinsk. But the premise is that they must be replaced. I have sent guards to the Senate of Tsarist Russia to obstruct them, but they have not returned yet. I don’t know whether we should continue to talk or continue to fight.”

The matter of sending guards to Tsarist Russia was a secret, not to mention the ministers, even Jiang Ling who lived with Kangxi day and night and was able to enter and leave the forbidden palace from time to time did not know about it.

"So now, we can only wait." Kangxi said, "They just returned to Beijing today, so I gave them half a month's leave and asked them to wait in Beijing. Go to Huibei, cross the Heilongjiang River and the Shileka River, and deal with this matter. However, it is thanks to your reminder last time." Kangxi looked down at Jiang Ling and smiled: "Otherwise, I am not sure yet, let them Replace Golovin."

Golovin should be the envoy of the other party's peace talks.

But Jiang Ling remembered that this treaty was not signed this year.Kangxi was at least two full years ahead of schedule.

Could it be that she reminded Emperor Kangxi at the beginning, so that Kangxi accelerated the process of this matter? ... Well, save the time when the Tsar grows up and becomes even more difficult to deal with.

The two of them watched the moonlight by the window for a while, and they didn't go back to rest until Kangxi couldn't hide his drowsiness.Jiang Ling created a peaceful dream for him, let him fall asleep in the dream, and no longer worry about these things.

But these things, even if Kangxi is not troubled, they still exist.

About ten days later, the bodyguards sent by Kangxi to Tsarist Russia finally returned with excellent news: because Golovin and his vassals violated a taboo, they were withdrawn by Princess Sophia and the Senate, and sent A new nobleman was sent to the peace talks.But this nobleman, who was born at the end of the previous generation of tsars, has experienced many difficulties, and only loves gold coins in his life.

In this way, things become simple.

Kangxi sent Suo'etu and Tong Guogang to Nerchinsk again. Under the overwhelming money offensive, the nobleman and his subordinates happily signed a new contract to move the boundary marker further north. For three hundred miles, all prisoners in other countries at the same time shall be dealt with by other countries.As for their Tsarist Russian army, for the time being, they cannot reach the Far East.

Immediately afterwards, Kangxi ordered that Aihui and Shengjing send another [-] troops to station in case of emergency.

At the same time, the first batch of officials who went to the West sorted out a batch of firearm maps that they bribed back with a lot of money.They are all up-to-date, and they are not deceiving. They are comparable to those firearms found in Nanbianer's search.

The same firearms were quickly deployed to the battalions, west, south, and north.

The two schools in the south are also preparing together.

It took two months for these things to begin to bear fruit.

As soon as the treaty was signed, Suo'etu and Tong Guogang immediately returned to Beijing to reply to Kangxi.

Another purpose of Kangxi was to try his best to appease the northeast, and then dispatched another cavalry to go to the Khalkha tribes in western Mongolia, and prepare to have a good "talk" with the Junggar tribe over there.

It was also at this time that Lin Daiyu gave birth to the eldest son of Prince Jing, and returned to the capital after confinement.
