lied to Kangxi

Chapter 170 Playing Chess with the Emperor

In the later years of Kangxi, the Junggar Khan Cewang Arabitan not only occupied Qinghai, but also took advantage of the chaos to occupy the snowy region.

Snowland, the plateau north of India also.

As a hero of a generation, how could Kangxi endure it?
Before the old fourteen was worshiped as the general of Fuyuan, the first counterattack organized by the Qing army suffered a disastrous defeat and the entire army was wiped out.

Hey, Jingzhou is stationed in the Eight Banners, and every household has filial piety.

Objectively speaking, for Yuzhu, the old fourteen's leader Pingzang was a god-sent opportunity to seize military power.

How could he not be prepared?

After choosing the No. [-] scholar, Yuzhu threw the stereotyped essay into the pile of waste paper, never wanting to touch it again.

Today's Yuzhu spends time every day speaking Mongolian and Tibetan, and writing Mongolian and Tibetan, waiting for the opportunity to stand out.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Yu Zhu was called into the South Study Room.

"Yu Zhu, I heard from Lao Wu that you are good at Tibetan?" Kangxi knew in his heart that Lao Wu deliberately built a ladder for Yu Zhu to show his face.

However, Lao Wu also knew that he had long since missed the throne completely.

Yuzhu has already handed in the nomination certificate again, and Kangxi is not shy at all, he and the fifth child are on good terms.

"Back to the emperor, I just know a few Tibetan characters, and I dare not speak out." Yuzhu was as humble as ever.

Kangxi raised his hand and clicked on the memorial on the case, ordering Yuzhu to read it on the spot.

Yuzhu picked up the memorial, looked at it calmly, and understood.After Tsangyang Gyatso's sudden death, Lhazang Khan of the Heshuote Khanate had ulterior motives, and intentionally made up some difficult Tibetan dialects in the memorial.

During Songtsan Gampo's period, for the convenience of management, he divided Tubo into five "Ru", and set up several "Dongdai" under each "Ru".

Those who are Ru are ten thousand households.Those in Dongdai are also thousands of households.

Among the five houses in Tibet, there are two houses in Front Tibet (Lhasa), two houses in Back Tibet (Shigatse), and one house in Ngari alone.

In the past, Lazang Khan gave memorials to the court, all in the pre-Tibetan language family.This time, they deliberately used the local Tibetan language in Shigatse.

It's no wonder that the general staff of the Li Fan Academy are going to be scolded.

Originally, Tibet belonged to the concept of the country of Jiji, and most of the daily military and political affairs were not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

May I ask, who knows how to study Tibetan dialect in such a boring way?

Yuzhu was different. He knew very well that the vast plains south of Houzang were the jewels in the crown of the British Empire.

So, after Yuzhu picked up the memorial, he read it very smoothly.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes, and after listening carefully, he immediately understood that Lazang Khan was worried that he would hold Tsangyang Gyatso responsible for his death on the way.

After all, Tsangyang Gyatso was the sixth generation of his predecessor, and even if he was abolished, he was still extremely influential.

Yu Zhu was called in as an interpreter, not to discuss state affairs.So, after he finished reading the memorial, he stood with his hands down and said nothing.

"Old five, what do you think?" Kangxi already had an idea in his heart, but he deliberately asked the fifth elder brother.

Cangyang Gyatso was abolished, and the fifth prince was one of the specific executors. What can he say?
"Hui Khan Ama, the military strength of Lhazang Khan seems not enough to stabilize the Heshuote Khanate, and my son is only worried about changes in the snowy land." The fifth elder brother opened his mouth, and he got to the point.

Kangxi glanced at the obedient Yuzhu standing with his head down, thinking of the previous "Ping Luo Sha Ce", he couldn't help but feel a sudden twitch in his heart.

"Yuzhu, you are familiar with Xueyu, what's your opinion?" Kangxi deliberately focused on Yuzhu.

To tell the truth, Yu Zhu has been waiting for this question for a long time.

"Going back to the emperor, I thought that Lhazang Khan was capable of controlling the snowy land. However, he was unable to resist the attack of the Junggar Khanate." Yuzhu talked eloquently, showing the temperament of a magic stick to the fullest.

Whether Kangxi believes it or not now, Yuzhu doesn't care.

Because, the real process of history is that Cewang Allah Butan sent troops to eliminate the Heshuot Khanate and killed Lhazang Khan.

Yuzhu did not change the history of Xueyu.Therefore, as long as he put aside the divine prophecy today, Kangxi will regard him as an important think tank for calming the snowy region sooner or later.

Objectively speaking, no matter how bad the Qing Dynasty was, the three generations of Kang, Yonggan, and grandson successively invested a large amount of troops, a huge amount of silver, and a huge amount of supplies. They have indeed established a illustrious record for the final return of the Xueyu and Zhunbu to the territory of the Celestial Dynasty. The merit of expanding the soil.

"Why do you know?" Kangxi was obviously interested, so he asked Yuzhu.

Yuzhu sighed softly, pointed to the memorial on the desk, and said in a deep voice: "Lhazang Khan has deposed Cangyang Gyatso, and lost the hearts of Xueyu."

The same is true.

General Ce Ling of Cewang Arabutan led his troops into the snowy area, quickly defeated and killed Lhazang Khan.It was the result of the nobles and monks in the snowy region luring wolves into the house.

Kangxi became unhappy, and reprimanded coldly: "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense."

"The minister is guilty, please the emperor punish." Yuzhu was reprimanded, so he had to take off his hat and knelt down to plead guilty.

Kangxi's doing this is too dishonest, he wants to ask Yu Zhu's opinion, but he doesn't want to listen to the truth, what is he doing?

"Khan Ama..." The fifth elder brother on the side wanted to speak disliked, but Kangxi stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Punishment? Well, would you be happy to punish you to play chess with me?" This is where Kangxi's brilliance lies.

After losing his temper and feeling over it, Kangxi will take the initiative to make amends.

So Wei Zhu brought chess.Kangxi was sitting, Yuzhu was standing, and they began to confront each other.

Playing chess with the emperor will definitely not win.However, it can't be too obvious that the loss is too obvious, Yuzhu is very embarrassed.

Kangxi's governance and wars, in the context of the small peasant society, did have a way, and he was always touted as a sage king who would never meet in a thousand years.

However, Kangxi's chess skills are not so good.

Not to mention other things, just regretting the game, there are more than a dozen times.

What can Yuzhu say?I can only endure it.

To be honest, Yuzhu's chess level is at most a level higher than that of a second-level chess player, but lower than that of a first-level chess player.Because, he participated in the individual chess competition in the city and won No.3.

In the field of chess, grandmasters can be described as a gathering of stars.A second-level chess player is simply not worth mentioning.

However, with Yuzhu's poor level, it is still easy to abuse Kangxi if he wants to.

The question is, how dare he abuse him?
The level of Yuzhu is too high, the embarrassment is, how can I lose heart-stirringly?
"Ha, General!" Kangxi, under the suggestion of the fifth child, finally came up with a coup to win.

Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, good guy, finally lost very fiercely.

"You play chess very well, much better than Wu Pu. Well, from now on, after lunch, you can go inside and play chess with me." Kangxi gave Yuzhu a task to play with me with a word of mouth. .

Yuzhu knew in his heart that what Kangxi said about entering inside meant entering the Qianqing Palace.

Well, in Yuzhu's arms, there is also a Qianqing palace waist card awarded by Kangxi, which can drive straight into the Qianqing gate.

"Hey." Yuzhu didn't expect that he was reprimanded for saying serious things.Accompanied by playing chess, but won Kangxi's favor.

The world is really unpredictable!

The emperor is also a human being, it is impossible to deal with government affairs and read books all twelve hours a day.He also needs proper entertainment to relax and unwind.

After Kangxi left, when Li Guangdi got up and walked back, he took a deep look at Yuzhu, but said nothing.

Zhang Tingyu, who was on the side, complained secretly.During this period of time, he has been asking Yu Zhu to deal with An Zhe, originally because he wanted to use a dirty trick to rub the young man.

Unexpectedly, luck hit Yu Zhu's head.

Zhang Tingyu knew very well that Wu Pu played chess with Kangxi at the earliest, and gradually won the favor.

These days, everyone pays attention to the illusory so-called chess is like a person, and words are like a person.

In fact, the words of the treacherous official Qin Hui are really good.Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty even created a thin gold body.

Kangxi asked Wu Yan to play chess with him, and he also wanted to take a closer look. Is this person available?
Now, Yu Zhu, who is only 16 years old, has actually stood on the starting line of Wu Cheng.

Alas, all the pink-eyed people in the South Study Room are jealous to death.

Comparing people to people, making people mad, it's all fate!
During lunch, when Yuzhu went to pick up the food box, Xiao Yezi, the cold-eyed little eunuch who used to like to give it, bowed her waist and said obsequiously: "Master Zhu, I specially made a stewed mutton slice for you. Added all sorts of ingredients.”

Yu Zhu smiled slightly, the gang of bastards in the palace are used to following the trend, with red tops and whites.

However, since Xiao Ye Zi took the initiative to show his kindness, Yu Zhu couldn't be so stupid as to offend him, so he smiled and said, "Thank you master for me."

In this South Study Room, the various treatments for walking in Zhinan Study Room and South Study Room are as different as heaven and earth.

For example, Li Guangdi, he enjoys the special treatment of ordering food from the dining room.Six dishes and one soup, order whatever you want.

Yuzhu and Zhang Tingyu can only eat set meals.That is to say, in the food box brought by Xiao Yezi, you can only eat whatever is in the food box.

The stewed mutton slices that Xiao Yezi mentioned, Yuzhu has been here for almost a month, and has never tasted it.

Compared with the richness of the dishes, cold dishes and cold rice are even more troublesome.

Yuzhu just came here, Zhang Tingyu has been here for several years, he has always used the boiling water in the tea room to make meals, drained the water before eating.

This is very similar to the habit of old Shanghainese who like to eat rice in the morning.

The master chef in the dining room, after cooking a big pot of dishes, put them on the table.When the time came, Xiao Yezi could be put into the red lacquer food box and brought out of the iron sign outside the South Study Room.

The weather is hot, but fortunately, the food can be eaten when it is cold.When it's cold, alas, the food in the food box is completely cold, how can I eat it?

This is in the palace, and the eunuchs also have their own hills.No matter how rich Yuzhu's family background is, the time is too short, so it's not good to work hard secretly.

Besides, if Yuzhu wanted to stand up, he could no longer rely on Longkodo's support, but had to set up his own contacts in the palace.

Now, Xiao Ye Zi took the initiative to lower her posture, and Yu Zhu seized the rare opportunity to stuff an ingot of two taels of scattered silver in the red lacquered food box that was returned.

There is no need to say anything when you give money to the little eunuch who delivers the food, they know it very well.

On the second day, at lunch, Xiao Yezi brought hot rice and hot dishes.
