After the clearing, I became the soft bag of the fourth master

Chapter 118 The Emperor's Heart
Fourth master subconsciously looked towards the box containing the secret decree. Although Wu Ling had put the box back to its original position, there was less dust on the lock, and fourth master saw it at a glance.

"Have you seen it all?" Fourth Master asked.

Wu Ling nodded.

After all, fourth master wrapped Wu Ling even tighter.

He said softly: "It's okay..."

"Why are you all right?" Wu Ling's eyes were clouded, she stretched out her fist and beat the fourth master's chest, and said slowly: "The emperor wants you to die!"

As soon as Wu Ling finished saying this, Fourth Master covered her lips with his hand, and he shook his head: "This is the order of the emperor, and it must not be violated."

In fact, the content of this secret decree is very simple, that is, if the fourth master wants to keep the child in Wu Ling's belly, he must guard the Cold Region Pass. In fact, if it is normal, it is nothing. Going through such a stage, just like the elder brother who became the king before, went to Jiayuguan and guarded it for half a month, and their status is noble, even if they go to the border, they still eat and drink, and the people who serve them are not good. As a member of the council, observe the sentiments of the people, patrol the army, and after returning to the capital, write a testimonial and read it aloud in the court, that's all right.

But the fourth master is different this time. The fourth master was named prince and guarded the Hanyu Pass. It seems that the rules are the same as the previous elder brother and the deposed prince, but it is not the same. The border gate that the elder brother and the deposed prince were sent to , is a piece of peace, without any disturbance.

But Hanyu Pass is different.

Hanyuguan borders Junggar.

The Qing Dynasty and Junggar have always been peaceful, so it seems that Hanyu Pass is also peaceful, but after the fourth master arrives, it will be unknown...

Because what Emperor Kangxi asked Si Ye to do was to send troops to attack Junggar, and Emperor Kangxi gave Si Ye only three thousand soldiers.

In order to prevent surprises, Emperor Kangxi would not send additional troops from the Central Plains, but only asked Si Ye to use the 30 cavalry from Hanyu Pass to break through the [-] cavalry of the Junggar army.

The enemy is strong and I am weak.

We are outnumbered.

The chances of victory for the Hanyuguan army are almost nonexistent.

Isn't this letting fourth master go to die?
What a conferred prince!

Wu Ling didn't understand, since they were both his own sons, why did Emperor Kangxi treat Si Ye like this?Want to let your own son go to die?

. . .

The fourth master also knew that if he went, he might never return, so she hugged Wu Ling even tighter. He was magnanimous all his life, and his only regret was that he didn't have the chance to see Wu Ling and his child born. up.

Wu Ling asked: "Why did the emperor suddenly issue this secret decree? The fourth master has always kept himself safe..." Speaking of this, Wu Ling suddenly remembered that after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, on the carriage returning from the palace, the fourth master told her that Concubine De He knows all about what he has done, and Wu Ling has only reacted to it now, how could Fourth Master know?

Could it be the Empress De Fei who said it?
How can this be?The concubine de concubine will not blow herself up, and she is not stupid.

There is only one possibility, that is, Emperor Kangxi who came to Empress Defei that morning. At that time, Emperor Kangxi, Empress Defei, and Fourth Master had been talking for a long time in the main hall...

Wu Ling was stunned, and she asked: "Is it because of the concubine Defei? Is it because of the child in the womb of the concubine?"

"You can't hide anything from you..." Fourth Master laughed, then rubbed Wu Ling's head.

Wu Ling said: "The concubine is a woman from a foreign country. If the concubine gave birth to the eldest son, the fourth master would lose the chance to compete for the throne. Moreover, even because of this matter, the fourth master was sent to the border by the emperor. Life and death are unpredictable... Don't fourth masters feel resentful?"

"You really dare to say it." The fourth master shook his head helplessly. Perhaps only the girl Wu Ling dared to fight for the throne. These four words were on his lips. He explained: "This has nothing to do with you, it is About Er Niang, Er Niang should not have such an attempt. Her delusion was discovered by Huang Ama. I did this only to protect Er Niang. You don't have to think about it. It has nothing to do with you or our children. Relationship."

"it is good……"

Wu Ling nodded, she affirmed it, but her heart was still twisted and sad.

But this is the end of the matter, and Wu Ling also knows that the emperor's order cannot be violated.

It seems that the fourth master is going to Hanyuguan, it is a certainty, Wu Ling endured the pain in his heart, and asked: "Fourth master, when are you leaving?"

"next month……"

The fourth master replied: "The person who assassinated me in the suburbs of Beijing before has been found out. It is from Junggar. Huang Ama has endured Junggar for a long time, so this time, I will use the reason of arresting the court prisoners to conquer Junggar."

What a treacherous and treacherous emperor Kangxi is, he wants to fight Junggar, and this idea has been around for a long time, but Junggar has always been making turmoil in the border areas of the Qing Dynasty, but he has not made any substantial mistakes, and Emperor Kangxi can't find it. reason to attack them.

And as for the mastermind behind the assassination of fourth master.Whether that person named Ling is from Junggar or not, perhaps only Emperor Kangxi himself knows.

Whether it is or not, as long as Emperor Kangxi says yes, then it is.

On the bright side, Emperor Kangxi sent his son to guard the border.In private, he asked fourth master to take the initiative to send troops.

This meant that Emperor Kangxi wanted everyone to think that the fourth master wanted to catch the mastermind behind his assassination, so he used the soldiers at the border to send troops to Junggar.

As for Emperor Kangxi, as long as he sat in the court hall and pretended not to know about it, it would be fine.

He wanted fourth master to take the blame of the invader for himself, and then just sit back and enjoy the rewards.

Why doesn't fourth master know what Huang Ama's thoughts are?But he was willing to do so, no matter it was for Concubine De, for Wu Ling, or for his own children, he was willing. Maybe one day he would die in battle, and Emperor Kangxi would charge him again for disobedience.

That's okay...

Emperor Kangxi made good use of people's hearts. He just took advantage of the fact that Concubine De was disobedient this time, so that the fourth master would willingly accept this will and be punished willingly.

Therefore, Si Ye's appointment as prince seemed to be a reward, but it was actually a punishment.

In fact, fourth master didn't know, what would Emperor Kangxi do next?
If his three thousand cavalry had penetrated into the enemy, would Emperor Kangxi increase his troops to capture Junggar?

If the soldiers here are no match for the Junggar army, will Emperor Kangxi stand by and watch?

All this is unknown.

The fourth master is still young, Jiang is still the emperor of Kangxi, the heart of an emperor is really hard to fathom.

. . .

After thinking back, Wu Ling had already scooped up a spoonful of white porridge, and gently handed it to Fourth Master's mouth: "Master, let's drink the porridge!"

"Hmm..." Fourth Master nodded.
