On the fifth day of March, the Sichuan Governor's Yamen

A fast horse rushed to the gate of the yamen, and the porter came forward early to receive the letter from the man on horseback, and without any delay, quickly sent it into the yamen.

Nian Gengyao had previously set up ten post stations between Litang and Dajianlu. The news exchanged between the post stations, and the Sichuan governor's yamen thus obtained more news from Tibet, Yunnan and other places.

"My lord, but what happened around Litang?" Wang Weishi, the doorman, asked from the side.

Nian Gengyao frowned, with a stern expression, "Before, the governor felt that the situation around Litang, Batang, and Chamuduo had changed, and now it really has come."

"Dawa Lanzhamba, Dawa Lazamba, Sebten Azhu Diba and some lamas are gathering people in private. They have secretly occupied many villages near Litang and Batang. Recently, their momentum has suddenly become huge. To openly rebel!"

"This, I'm afraid it was bewitched by Cering Dunduobu?" Wang Weishi guessed, "Zhan Litang and Batang are not far from us and Yunnan."

"The governor can just ask for an order and send troops to suppress it. You can send someone to Beijing to rush to Beijing!"

"Send it to Beijing? What about Xining?" Wang Weishi asked tentatively.

"The army is still gathering, the military situation is urgent, and there is no need to delay."

Nian Gengyao walked up to the book case, "What's more, the governor has already prepared enough soldiers and horses in Sichuan this year, and only took down some Tibetan leaders in Litang and Batang. There is no need to transfer more troops from other places."

Wang Weishi thought about it for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Your Excellency has a long-term plan. This year, you have been playing for Sichuan to add troops and horses, and set up post stations around Litang. Your Excellency wants Sichuan to lead troops into Tibet, right?"

Nian Gengyao stopped writing the memorial, looked up at Wang Wei and said, "You are wrong. It is not that the governor wants to open the way to Tibet from Sichuan, but the Holy Spirit has this idea. Otherwise, the governor will add soldiers, food and grass to Sichuan. Then, the Holy Majesty will not agree to them one by one."

"That's also the blessing of my lord's heart. It coincides with the Holy Majesty. The last time the army to aid Tibet was wiped out, it was because they underestimated the enemy. This time, it seems that the Holy Majesty is bound to win."

"It's not difficult to defeat Celing Dunduobu, but it's rare to appease the whole Tibetan area." Nian Gengyao quickly wrote the memorial.

"The governor will write another letter, and you will send another person to Prince Yong's mansion."

"The villain understands," Wang Weishi lowered his head, "but, now that General Wang is in the limelight, if you want to lead troops from Sichuan to Tibet, wouldn't you be in danger of competing for merit?"

"A war is a war, and whoever wins deserves the credit!"

When Nian Gengyao handed the two letters to Wang Wei, "Brother Fourteen has the guts to lead troops at the border. I also want to see how capable this prince is."

On the ninth day of March, Xining

The general Wang Zhang, and the soldiers and horses transferred from all walks of life arrived at the various garrisons one after another.

Yinti has to distribute food and grass every day, send people to send news in turn, get to know the military officers at the bottom, restrain the soldiers' movements, and always pay attention to the local movements in Tibet and Qinghai, and exchange news with Beijing all the time. He is almost too busy to sleep. No.

Dutong Yanxin went out with the army this time, and helped Yinzhen a lot in the military.

Although, Yanxin's older brother Yanshou is a real Eighth Lord Party, and when Eighth Brother was reprimanded by the emperor, he interceded and was dismissed from his post and suspended.

But Yanxin didn't seem to be convinced by the eighth elder brother. This time he went out with the fourteenth elder brother, and he even expressed his intention to support the fourteenth elder brother in the future.

In Wang's tent, Yinti was busy distributing grain and grass, when Yanxin walked in quickly.

"General, there are common people gathered outside to make trouble," Yan Xin said with a worried expression on his face, "I'm worried that something unexpected will happen again, and I'm calmed down for the time being, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for long."

"What's causing the trouble?" Yinti raised his head and asked.

"It's still Hu Xitu, the governor!" Yan Xin hated this man very much, "He condoned his subordinates to harass the people, and even tried to kidnap a Tibetan girl shepherding nearby."

"It's him again!" Yinti slapped the food bill on the desk.

"During the march, he blackmailed the officials, harassed the people, and ignored the head and the tail during the march, which caused the army to be damaged before it entered Qinghai. The king warned several times, but he didn't take it seriously! Now seeing the tense situation in Qinghai, he Something happened again!"

"That's right," Yan Xin said with a sad face, "Luobu Zangdanjin's power is growing, and his ambitions are becoming more and more flamboyant. Long Live God intends to send Kelsang Gyatso to Tibet, and it's exactly as he wanted. .Tibet has not been pacified yet, and Qinghai can’t make any more mistakes.”

Yinti closed his eyes and thought for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already made up his mind, "Hu Xitu can't stay! You should send someone to tie him to the king's tent right away, and you will take over his soldiers and horses temporarily!"

"The general has really decided?" Yan Xin still hesitated, "Hu Xitu is the eighth elder brother's confidant, and he has a close relationship with Arsuna and his party. If it weren't for this relationship, he wouldn't be so presumptuous."

"So what?"

Yinti stood up from his seat, "The king has led the army to go to war. At this moment, they should be attached to the king, not the king to rely on them! The starling has some abilities, but just relying on these abilities alone Want me to be his puppet? He's too good at making wishes!"

"However, the newly transferred Kashtu by the general is also a member of the eight elder brothers' party," Yan said.

"Gashtu is a man with an eye for money," Yinti curled his lips, "as long as he has enough interests, he can do things for anyone. If the starling can win him over, so can this king! He is here, It’s better than that Hubu servant Sertu who gets in the way everywhere!”

"The general is very thoughtful," Yan Xin said with a look of relief at last, "This subordinate will go and arrest Hu Xitu!"

March [-]th

Jingli received Nian Gengyao's urgent documents for eight hundred miles.

Sure enough, Lord Kangxi did not use the general to send troops to Xining, but asked Nian Gengyao to send troops from Sichuan to Litang, Batang and other places to put down the rebellion.

"Dutong Fala can be the commander-in-chief, and there is still one deputy general missing. Do you have any recommendations?" In the court hall, Lord Kangxi asked.

"My son, there is one person who can take on this important task," the fourth elder brother quickly thought of someone.

"Who?"

"Guerrilla of the Chinese Army in Songpan Town, Sichuan, Yue Zhongqi!"

"After Yue Zhongqi became a famous general, his father Yue Shenglong made great contributions when he accompanied the emperor Ama in the northern expedition to Galdan. Now, he has been a guerrilla in the Chinese army for two years, and he is also quite insightful in military affairs. I believe that He can handle that."

Lord Kangxi frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let Fara be the commander and Yue Zhongqi be the lieutenant general, and advance first to quell the chaos in Litang!"

Prince Yong's Mansion

After returning from the palace, the fourth elder brother also received the secret letter sent by Nian Gengyao to the palace.

"It seems that Huang Ama really sent troops from Sichuan to Tibet on purpose."

"Going to Tibet from Sichuan?" Su Wei didn't quite understand, "What about Brother Fourteen? Isn't he in Xining?"

"The troops are divided into two groups, one goes straight to Lhasa, and the other sends Gesang Gyatso to Tibet to be enthroned. Huang Ama asked Yinti to sit in Qinghai, probably to guard against Luo Buzang Danjin's group."

"Luo Bu Zang Dan Jin is very difficult to deal with, right?"

Su Wei vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be rebelling too, "Is Brother Fourteen in danger there?"

The fourth elder brother glared at him, "He was named the king of the general and led the three-way army. If he can't even protect himself, what's the use?"

"You can't say that, swords don't have eyes," said Su Wei, and scratched his back again.

"Don't scratch!"

The fourth elder brother slapped off Grandpa Su's dishonest hand, "It's hard to scab, what should I do if I touch it again?"

"Itchy..." Su Wei frowned, rubbing against his clothes again.

The fourth elder brother took Su Wei's hand and made him sit on his lap, stretched out his hand and patted him lightly, "It will be healed soon, if your wound doesn't grow well, I won't worry about taking you to Shengjing."

"Leave? Long live Lord made an order?"

"It's just two days away," the fourth elder brother smiled, "May is the Longevity Day, and this year is the New Year's Eve. It is estimated that there will be a big event in the palace, and the master must come back earlier."

"Will it be a big deal?"

Su Wei was a little skeptical, "I heard that Lord Long Live's body has been very unstable recently, he couldn't wake up after falling asleep, and almost scared Wei Zhu to death several times."

The fourth elder brother lowered his eyes slightly, his face was a little ugly, "Huang Ama has been refusing to take a good rest. In order to keep awake, the medicine in the Tai Hospital has been adjusted again and again. However, the medicine is three-point poisonous. Huang Ama's eyes have become more and more serious recently. I can't see clearly anymore, and sometimes I can't even read the words on the memorial even wearing glasses."

"Long Live Lord is also getting old, people always have this time..."

Su Wei comforted the fourth elder brother, then suddenly remembered and said, "We came out of the Yanqing Palace, have you never been to the Yonghe Palace again? Qiu Hai sent the news that the Empress Concubine De has a lot of trouble recently."

"Fu Jin brought Hong Yun into the palace," the fourth elder brother lowered his head, "it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that she doesn't want to see me."

"But you can't go now."

Su Wei was also a little helpless, "Before going to Shengjing, you have to go to the Yonghe Palace anyway. Otherwise, the Concubine De will really fall ill later on, and I'm afraid you won't be able to worship the Sanling!"

Noon, Maoqin Hall

Xiao Shuzi had a bad stomach early in the morning and was unable to accompany Hong Pan into the palace.

Xiao Shuzi was replaced by another eunuch, Xiao Xinzi, who also went to Brother Hongpan with Xiao Shuzi at the beginning.

However, Brother Hongpan doesn't like little Xinzi who is too diligent, but prefers little bookboys who are a little bit stupid.

Therefore, Xiao Xinzi had no chance to stay with Brother Hongpan except for changing shifts with Xiaoshuzi every day.

Now, finally had the opportunity, Xiao Xinzi was able to follow the palace, he was so excited.

As a result, before noon, he, who was too diligent, was sent by the deacon and eunuch of Maoqin Palace to get his pen and ink.

When it was time for lunch, Hongpan waited and waited, but his own stove didn't come.

In the afternoon, the master will take an archery exam. If I am hungry, I am afraid that I will not be able to draw the bow later.

Hongpan was a little anxious, but everyone thought so today, every plate was clean.

Unable to wait any longer, Hongpan sneaked out, avoiding Master's sight.

Going to the right from the Maoqin Hall is the Jiaotai Hall. He heard from Xiao Shuzi that he should find a little eunuch and walk faster so that he can still catch up with the time to go to the school grounds in the afternoon.

With such a plan, Hongpan walked along the eaves, but within a few steps, he smelled a fragrance.

"Looks like roasted duck legs," Hong Pan's eyes widened. The smell came from the window of a side hall in front.

Hongpan walked over on tiptoe, the window was open, and there was a round table directly inside, on which the good piece of duck leg was placed.

"Master, let's eat early, you have to go to Qianqing Palace to pay your respects later."

The inner door of the house was pushed open, and an eunuch came in followed by a man in a maroon robe.

"Huang Mafa is not in good health recently, I'd better see you later—"

Before the people in the room finished speaking, they met face to face with Hong Pan who was staring outside the window.

"Who are you? Why are you standing there?" The eunuch's voice was a little high.

Hongpan backed away, ignored the eunuch, but bowed his hands to the man in the maroon robe in the room, "Brother Hongxi, I am Hongpan."

The author has something to say: Hongxi is the second elder brother's child, and has been raised by Lao Kang's side.
