Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 49 years

Yaoting

In the imperial tent, Lord Kangxi got up and walked to the window with the curtains rolled up. Li Guangdi glanced at the memorial that was thrown on the case again, and slightly cupped his hands and said, "I think that Lord Long Live doesn't need to worry too much. Princes fight, It is normal for the courtiers to rely on you. Funing'an is the border commander handpicked by you. Since he took office, he has performed well and led the army well. He has never let you down. I believe that in the face of big right and wrong, like Fu Ning'an Such a person with real talent and learning will naturally put the holy will first and the overall situation as the most important. What's more, a single letter can't really explain anything. The situation at the border is complicated, and I am afraid that all forces will infiltrate. Prince Yong If you can really cover the sky with one hand, you don't have to be so sneaky."

"You are telling the truth." Master Kangxi stroked his forehead, turned around and said, "I sent Funing'an to the border at the beginning, just to prevent these wolf cubs from stretching their hands too far. As a result , On the contrary, they said what they wanted. Now, there is another change in Junggar, and Tibet and Qinghai have caused me a lot of headaches, but they still want to join in the fun!"

"Long Live Lord is still worried about Lazang Khan joining hands with Tseng Allah Butan?" Li Guangdi stroked his gray beard with one hand. "Lhazang Khan's rule in Tibet these years has not been smooth. I'm afraid it was swallowed up by Diba's forces or the Qinghai Zhutaiji. I don't think that he will destroy the Great Wall by himself because of a little profit or a few empty words of Allah Butan. In turn, he will fight against me Qing is the enemy."

"Lhazang Khan may not have the guts," said Lord Kangxi, pacing slowly in the imperial tent, "but it doesn't mean that others don't. Although Sangye Gyatso is dead, Diba's power has already formed. The current sixth Dalai Lama Lai can't convince the crowd, I'm afraid Lazang Khan will be tricked by people inside and outside without even knowing."

Li Guangdi nodded slightly when he heard the words, "Long Live Lord is right. Now we can only wait for the news from Heshou to come back. Everything will be accurate. However, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Yunnan provinces should be ready. Junggar's expeditionary force is not enough yet. For fear, this minister is also worried that there will be some ambitious people among the auspicious places in Qinghai who will use this to stir up trouble."

"This is what I am most worried about." Lord Kangxi stopped and sighed, "Although after the Chahantuoluohai alliance, the Qinghai princes have surrendered to our Qing Dynasty, but there are still many people who are ready to move. Especially after the death of Dashbatur, his son Luo Bu Zang Danjin, who inherited the title, was a restless master. At the beginning, if it weren’t for Chahan Danjin, who was close to my Qing Dynasty on the one hand, and loathed it on the other hand Dashbatur's status as a concubine is very likely to be instigated by Luo Bu Zang Danjin to make Kelsang Gyatso the sixth, openly violating my will. The reason why I decreed that Kelsang Gyatso temporarily Moving to Kumbum Monastery in Xining is also to prevent ambitious people like Luo Bu Zang Danjin from using the special status of a soul boy to secretly infiltrate their own power in Tibet and other parts of Qinghai. There must be no one on the border of the Qing Dynasty. The Heshuote Khanate. I must completely bring Tibet and Qinghai into the territory of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Long Live Lord is far-sighted." Li Guangdi cupped his hands and saluted, "Actually, this change in Junggar may not necessarily be a bad thing."

Lord Kangxi turned his head and glanced at Li Guangdi, Li Guangdi raised his gray beard, smiled and said, "Have I guessed what Lord Long Live is thinking?"

"You old fox," Lord Kangxi pointed at Li Guangdi, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "I intend to take advantage of this accident to completely take Tibet and Qinghai into my pocket. Although He Shou has been in Tibet for many years, he never No matter how much real power there is, Lazang Khan has always controlled the military and political power in Tibet through the hands of the Sixth Dalai Lama. As for Qinghai, the power of the Taiji is too strong, and I can't just let them set up another small court."

"However," Lord Kangxi paused, and his complexion became heavy again, "These things are easy to say, but they are so complex and difficult to do."

"The road to Shu has to be taken step by step, and the fertile land has to be plowed one cent at a time," Li Guang said in a warm tone, with a noble attitude, "How many times have you climbed this day since the Lord Long Live took office? How flat were Taiwan and Yunnan back then? How can Qinghai and Tibet be pacified today? The veteran has no doubts about the ability of the Long Live Lord."

Lord Kangxi smiled slightly, and glanced back at Li Guangdi, "You and I are going to be old coffins, can we still compare with the past? You old fox speaks nicely, who is going to me one by one? Handing over the booklet for begging for divorce? Anyway, you don’t know how to feel sorry for me, and now that I’m about to lose an old member of the imperial court, you insist on leaving the capital.”

"Hey, my long live Lord," Li Guangdi bent down, "this old minister is 12 years older than you. After this year, this old minister will be in his seventies. This old man is really useless Now, if it wasn't for the fear that being in his position would not allow him to manage his own affairs, and that he would disappoint his master, the old minister would not want to leave you."

"Okay, I'm at a loss right now, you just have to work hard for a few more years," Lord Kangxi walked to the map on the tent wall, and tapped his fingers in the Sichuan-Shanxi area, "Do you know that Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu are now What's the situation? You always go to Fujian, so you should know something about the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, right?"

"Long Live Lord said," Li Guangdi paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "The deficit of treasuries in various places?"

Lord Kangxi pursed his lips and sighed, "Before, it was only in Hami, and the grain delivery was not going well. The grain at the beginning of the year was still transported from Sichuan. I secretly sent someone to investigate and found out that Gansu The deficit is much more serious than I imagined. And this situation is not limited to the province of Gansu. Sichuan and Shaanxi are all empty accounts. There is only one false account that has been embellished and concealed. This time, the border will mobilize troops , the problem of food and grass is enough to give me a headache."

Li Guangdi lowered his head slightly, and his tone was a little helpless, "Long Live God has implemented benevolent government these years, and he has been lenient to the localities. This shortage of money and grain is really inevitable."

"The foundation of the Qing Dynasty is not stable, and there is nothing I can do about it," said Lord Kangxi, who couldn't turn around, and put his hands behind his back. "In the early years, we fought from south to north, and the people were uneasy, and the court was also in turmoil. Rest and recuperate, and let the officials perform their duties, I can only turn a blind eye."

"The old minister understands," Li Guangdi bowed and cupped his hands, "Long Live Lord has worked so hard for the foundation of the Qing Dynasty."

"Now, this root has been rooted down," Lord Kangxi lowered his head, and walked slowly to the front of the dragon case, "but the moths that have grown up are almost digging out the tree trunk. Jinqing, if I don't accept my old age, I also have to admit that I'm afraid I don't have the time to scrape the bones and cure the poison for the Qing Dynasty, and eliminate evil..."

Li Guangdi raised his head, and Lord Kangxi's eyes had already fallen on the memorial that Eighth Brother sent.

Outside Luangjia camp

Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Jinchao, who had been waiting in the pavilion, felt anxious for no reason.

"My father-in-law, let's have some tea," the guard guarding the gate was very polite to Feng Jinchao, and asked someone to bring food and water.

Feng Jinchao forced a smile, took the tea bowl, and asked the guard, "How long does it usually take to hand over the booklet to Lord Long Live? Our master has been following him in for several hours, and it looks like it's getting dark now. "

"Elder-in-law, don't be in a hurry," the guard said normally, "Long Live God has a lot of things to do every day, and there will be waiting for as long as possible. After a while, I will go in and report to the manager, and I will arrange a tent for you on the outskirts, and you will stay overnight Go back on your way."

"No, no need," Feng Jinchao thought of the two sea dongqings again, and his back was wet, "We don't bring anything with us when we go back, and it's okay to drive at night, the master is still waiting for a reply. "

"My father-in-law is really dedicated to serving Lord Baylor," the guard smiled, and was about to pour another bowl of tea for Feng Jinchao when a group of people suddenly walked out of the camp.

"Who is the person who delivered Babeile's things?" The head of the guard looked sharply into the pavilion, and Feng Jinchao suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

"Catch them all!" The head guard waved his hand, and Feng Jinchao, who was paralyzed in an instant, was fought by two guards, and dragged along with the others to the camp.

At night, Tangquan Palace

Eighth Prince stood in front of the window, looking out of the misty window with a slight smile on his lips.

He Zhuo walked into the door slowly, came behind the eighth elder brother, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Lord Belle, the letter to be sent to Lord Erondai's residence has also been sent, I believe it will not take a few days, the capital city Everything is ready. As long as the Lord Long Live orders a thorough investigation, there will be no missing evidence."

The corner of the eighth elder brother's mouth curled up, and his eyes narrowed in enjoyment, "Unfortunately, I am outside Beijing, so I can't see how my fourth brother will react at that time. In the past few years, I have fought against him, and it is really Hard."

"My minister, congratulations to Lord Baylor first." He Zhuo bowed, "Counting the time, Feng Jinchao and the others should have arrived at Yaoting today."

"That's right," the eighth elder brother looked up out of the window, "Huang Ama should never have imagined that the commander of the army he carefully selected turned out to be the minister under the curtain of the fourth brother. Back then, Huang Ama resisted all opinions and forced The reason why Funing'an was stationed at the border was because he was innocent and not involved in the dispute between the princes. But I didn't expect that this move would be equivalent to sending the ready-made Tang monk meat to the mouth of the fourth brother."

"The situation at the border is complicated now, but Fu Ning'an is already familiar with the military situation in Gansu," He Zhuo frowned slightly, "I'm afraid that even if Prince Yong is punished, Fu Ning'an's position will still not be shaken."

"That's good," Eighth Brother pursed his lips and twitched his brows suddenly, "The more difficult Huang Ama is, the more he has to borrow other people's influence. If you want to balance Fourth Brother's control at the border, you must have one... ..."

The eighth elder brother's voice became smaller and smaller, He Zhuo felt strange, looked up, and saw the eighth elder brother was clutching his abdomen tightly, with one hand resting on the wall, his face was as pale as paper.

"Lord Belle, what's wrong with you?"

He Zhuo stepped forward to support the eighth elder brother who was about to lose his standing, turned his head and shouted, "Come on, come and find a doctor, hurry!"
