Kangxi 50 years

April 26, Prince Yong's Mansion

In the Fujin courtyard, Hongpan who was questioned by Fujin was a little nervous.

"I, I just had lunch at Huang Mafa's place a few times. Brother Hongxi took me there. I didn't think so much..."

"Hongxi?" Fujin frowned slightly, "Where did you meet Hongxi?"

"In the side hall in front of the Maoqin Hall," Hong Pan lowered his head, "Brother Hong Xi invited me to eat roasted duck legs."

Fujin's expression was dark, "You are allowed to enter the palace to study, not to play around with cats and dogs! What is the palace? Can you run around after school?"

Hong Pan trembled slightly, and quickly knelt down, "Fu Jin, Hong Pan made a mistake, I won't dare in the future."

"You usually grew up pampered and pampered at home, but the palace is no better than our palace. You are younger and know less rules. If one day you really make a mistake and make yourself laughable, where will the face of our palace be placed?"

Hong Pan lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Emperor Mafa really rewarded you with something. You are liked by Huang Mafa, and the family is happy for you." Fujin's tone became softer, "However, you kept it from the family and kept the imperial gift. No. This time, you, Ama, helped you carry it over, so what about next time?"

"There won't be a next time," Hong Pan hurriedly raised his head, "I will be obedient in the future, I will tell my family, and I won't hide it anymore!"

Fujin nodded lightly, "It's good if you know you're wrong, get up, go back and let the servant rub your knees, don't kneel down."

"Thank you Fujin," Hong Pan kowtowed and stood up from the ground.

Niu Hulu's complexion finally softened a little, Shiyue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, don't worry about her having trouble with Fujin face to face.

Shujin got a hint from Fujin, and went down with the two elder brothers, Hong Pan and Hong Yun. There were only a group of hostesses left in the house.

It seemed that Fujin had something to say, Nian Shi and Li Shi, who had been silent just now, all raised their heads.

"Today is different from the past, and there are some things that I think everyone here already knows."

Fujin picked up the tea bowl again, "No matter how big or small our palace is, we should all share the same spirit with the prince, especially at this time, so there is no chance of any trouble."

The room suddenly became much quieter again, Fujin slightly raised his eyebrows, "I don't know how many eyes are staring at our palace right now, our prince has just returned from offering sacrifices on behalf of Tianxing, and rumors are raging inside and outside the capital. At this time, if we don't hold back For me, let someone with a heart take advantage of the loophole and drag the prince's hind legs, that is tantamount to pushing the entire palace into the fire pit."

"Fu Jin is right," Nian said first, "The situation is different now. Although we women have nothing to do with the previous court affairs, we have to be aware of it and be cautious in everything."

Mrs. Li nodded, but couldn't hide the excitement and pride in her eyes.

Song Shi was still a little dazed, and turned to look at Geng Shi, but Geng Shi just sat there calmly, without any surprise.

Shiyue secretly tugged at Niu Hulu's sleeve.

Niu Hulu pursed her lips, and said, "I will control Hongpan, and I will never let him mess around again."

Fujin nodded lightly, "We are a family, one family does not talk about two families. It is best for everyone to know the severity, we rely on the prince. Only when the prince is well can we be well, and the children will have a future Can run."

The mothers of several young masters all nodded, only Niu Hulu's eyes slightly opened.

Coming out of Fujin courtyard, Shiyue had to remind Niu Hulu a few words.

"You're too impatient. Although Fujin may be biased, it's not unreasonable."

"Yeah, how good is she to make sense of it? The child has only received a reward from Lord Long Live, and she has brought out the future of the palace."

Niu Hulu snorted coldly, "This matter happened to Hong Pan. If it happened to Hong Yun, wouldn't she have to put the two pen holders on the wall?"

Shiyue burst out laughing, "How can it be so exaggerated? How many rewards does our palace get every year. Even if Fujin feels uncomfortable, he can only say a few words. The decree of the imperial reward has come down, we Hongpan still earn money for the palace. face."

Niu Hulu took a deep breath, and finally had a smile on his face, "This child is born with good fortune. No matter how displeased Fujin is, if she doesn't get her turn, she won't get her turn."

Into the night, East Courtyard

The fourth elder brother returned to the palace and learned from Su Wei that the Cao and Li families in Jiangnan were raising money.

"It's also strange. These two companies have occupied Suzhou Weaving and Jiangning Weaving for so many years, and they are also in charge of salt affairs. Why are they still short of money?"

"Huang Ama spent a lot of money on several southern tours, and these two houses are also piled up with gold and silver, so the money is naturally coming in but not out."

The fourth elder brother changed his clothes, got on the soft couch, and lay down next to Su Wei, "Cao Yin owed a huge amount of money before he was alive. The emperor thought of his relationship with Cao and Li's family, and ordered Li Xu to take charge of the salt affairs and help him repay the debt." Qing. In recent years, the two of them have asked for orders to dig ginseng many times, but most of the silver taels for selling ginseng are in arrears. I think it is to make up for the west."

"Now, Huang Ama intends to investigate the deficits of the provinces. The number in Jiangnan must be quite large. Cao Yin is dead, and Li Xu is alone. I am afraid that he will not be able to cover it."

"Will Lord Long Live investigate Jiangnan first?" Su Wei asked with his head tilted.

"Probably not. Sichuan and Shaanxi are the most important thing when using troops at the border."

The fourth elder brother rubbed his nose, "These years, Cao Li and Lao Ba have been in close contact. Cao and Li's family probably borne a lot of expenses for Lao Ba and his group's activities. Now they are suddenly raising money. Yinhu is also inseparable from the relationship."

"You just made sacrifices to Sanling, and the situation at the border has changed again. The eighth elder brother probably won't be able to sit still." Su Wei turned sideways and poked the fourth elder brother in the face, "We don't always have a few days to live in peace."

"My Lord will give you a clean life, it won't be long..."

The fourth elder brother grabbed Su Wei's hand, "As long as you don't scare me like you did in Tongzhou, I won't be afraid of anything."

"That's not what I thought. I don't dare to leave Bayan three steps away when I go out now," Grand Duke Su said that he regretted his life.

The fourth elder brother laughed, turned over and pressed the man's wrist, the couch rustled for a while, and the sound made people's heart itch again.

In early May, after Emperor Kangxi's decree was passed to Sichuan, under the arrangement of Nian Gengyao, the Sichuan army assembled very quickly.

Nian Gengyao transported food and grass almost day and night, and visited the school grounds to inspect the military status.

Funing'an's capable general Dutong Garbi was sent under Nian Gengyao's banner.

By mid-May, Sichuan was fully prepared to fight in Tibet.

Nian Gengyao sent [-] troops to Yue Zhongqi. After the Batang and Litang rebellions were put down, Yue Zhongqi brought [-] troops to Chamuduo, where he captured the escaped Mongolian Lazang Khan and other rebel leaders alive.

May [-]th, Xining

In the king's tent, Yinti had just read the military newspaper sent by Sichuan, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"This Yue Zhongqi really has two tools," Yan Xin said from the sidelines, "Just bring a few hundred soldiers and horses to quell the chaos in Litang and Batang, and now Chamuduo has settled down. Nian Gengyao sent another He gave him [-] soldiers and horses, and it seems that he wants to be a pioneer in Tibet."

"This person is like a sharp knife out of its sheath, and it is held in Nian Gengyao's hand. If you are not careful, it may really go straight into the hinterland of Tibet."

Yinti pressed the center of his eyebrows, "But we are still restrained by Luo Buzang Danjin, how many pairs of eyes are staring at the army whenever it moves."

"Long Live Lord should understand the situation in Qinghai, and you can't blame the general," Yan Xin also sighed, "It's just a pity that the people in Sichuan took advantage of the loophole."

Yinti turned his head and looked out the window, the sky in Qinghai was much clearer than that in Beijing, it looked higher and wider.

"boom!"

Yinti slammed his fist on the desk, and his expression became firm, "Instead of letting Luo Bu Zang Danjin become my stumbling block, it is better to step on him! Doesn't he want to enter Tibet? This general will help him!"

May [-]th, Beijing

Lord Long Live ordered the third son of the emperor He Shuocheng, Prince Yinzhi, the fourth son of the emperor He Shuoyong, Prince Yinzhen to lead the university scholar Wang Xuling, the former household secretary Wang Hongxu, the cabinet bachelor Akton, Jiang Tingxi, the concubine Wang Tubing, Shun Xiao Kanmo, the Prime Minister of Tianfu Mansion, will take the test, and the review will take the test paper.

Su Wei sat on the carriage to the Ministry of Rites together with the fourth elder brother. When it came to Prince Cheng, Su Wei was a little strange, "In the past two years, Prince Cheng has become more and more quiet. Even when the eighth elder brother had an accident, he didn't a voice."

"The third brother was thrown into a mess by Wang Hongxu in Mengyangzhai. The power he wanted to cultivate was not cultivated, but he was tied up by the chores of the Mathematical Academy."

The fourth elder brother bent his lips, "Now, no matter how much he wants to get involved, he won't be able to do anything."

"It's a pool of muddy water, and a smart person should retreat bravely." Grandpa Su opened the car window and looked out. "This time you have to work with that Wang Hongxu, so you have to be careful with him."

"Wang Hongxu can also be regarded as the origin of his family. This time, his elder brother Wang Xuling, a senior scholar, is also there. He dare not do anything."

"Is there a bad relationship between Wang Hongxu and Wang Xuling?" Su Wei asked.

"Back when Wang Hongxu recommended the eldest son to be punished, Wang Xuling was the first to come out to clear the relationship," the fourth elder brother smiled, "Wang Xuling is also a generation of erudite and famous Confucians, their ancestors are from a famous family, a family of scholars, noble Very. When it comes to Wang Hongxu, it is considered a special case."

"Then Long Live Lord made this arrangement..." Grandpa Su blinked and blinked, "It's a good show!"

When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, a group of courtiers greeted him outside.

Headed by Wang Xuling, the elders who are nearly seventy years old are still very energetic, with rosy complexions and gray beards.

Wang Hongxu is over sixty this year, and he is thin and thin. Standing a little far away, it seems that he is really not close to Wang Xuling and his son.

After Prince Yong got off the carriage, Wang Xuling stepped forward and bowed to salute, "The old minister pays his respects to Prince Yong."

"I will pay my respects to Prince Yong."

After everyone saluted, the fourth elder brother personally helped Wang Xuling up, "This king is not familiar with the matter of grinding the original papers in the general examination, this time I will make Mr. Wang worry more."

"My lord, you are being polite. The duty of a veteran is to do my best." Wang Xuling cupped his hands again.

"Prince Cheng is here!"

Someone in the crowd said something, the fourth elder brother looked from a distance, and the carriage of Prince Cheng's mansion was slowly approaching.
