Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 145
That afternoon, when Sister Fucha rushed back to Yikun Palace, her complexion was as golden as paper.Hai Feng had never seen her so flustered, and her heart froze.

"Master, when the servant arrived at Wufanglou, all the chief stewards of Master Fei Yanggu's residence had already arrived, and they were discussing with the chief shopkeeper how to send news to enter the palace."

"That means……"

"The situation is not good. Now the group of officials led by Mr. Suo'etu are in a dilemma in Mobei. In detail, the emperor didn't even tell the Ministry of War clearly. He just asked to prepare artillery, horses, and crossbows as soon as possible. Huacheng. Another thing is that I heard that the Tuxietuhan tribe fought against the Junggar tribe and killed some important person on the opposite side."

It was weird, everything was wrong.

According to what Dobu told her before leaving, the situation in Mobei was very serious as early as the 24th year of Kangxi. How could it be that the situation was calm for three years, but just as Suo Ertu left with his people, the two departments started fighting?

I'm afraid there are more twists and turns in this.

"You all go. I want to rest by myself. No matter who looks for it, just say that I am asleep. There is no rush, just ask Zhang Shun and Fugui to keep an eye on Yuqing Palace. If the prince brother comes back, report back sooner."

When they all went out, Hai Feng locked the door with his own hands, and sat at the table to think of a solution.

The houses in the Forbidden City are neither high nor big, so that in winter they can save some charcoal and heat up quickly; The ice is all melted.Haifeng lived in the West Side Hall, and gave up the slightly spacious East Side Hall where Ji Lan used to live to the ninth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother, so it was even more depressing in this scorching weather.

"That's the only way to do it."

She groped to pull out a key that was placed next to the meat, and her cold sweat was still stained on the metal that was still warm.

Kangxi insisted on observing filial piety, although he did not force the people in the harem to follow along, but no one dared to use gorgeous decorations.In her residence, most of the furnishings, curtains, curtains, and bedding are all light green, with only some simple embroidery embellishments on them, not even gold and silver thread.

The most expensive thing in the room is the golden nanmu box that Hai Feng cherishes and hides in the dark compartment of the chest of drawers.The lock on the top is made of mother-of-pearl, and on the lid of the box, there are four rows of pearls of almost the same size and luster along the side.

In four years, Dobb only wrote seven letters to her, all of which are collected here.

Why did the prince tell her to stay awake?

Haifeng is sure that Kangxi will not spy on this kind of love talk between a man and a woman.But at critical moments, he may ask if there is any key information in the letter that can be used to assist decision-making.

In fact, Hai Feng has read each of these letters countless times, and he has memorized the contents fluently.What is more precious to her is Dobu's handwriting.

After Dobu went to Rakshasa, it became more and more difficult to contact, so only two letters were sent back.The first one was mainly to report safety, and told some things about Moscow, as well as Princess Sophia, who was the regent. Dobb said that she was "like a lioness raised in the South Garden"; the second one was just delivered last month. When he came back, the content was extraordinarily long, because he met the young Tsar Peter, and he had a very good impression of this person. He wrote a lot, saying that they went hunting together and brought down two bears Yunyun with muskets.

Will there be these things in the report written by Dobb to Kangxi?

Hai Feng took out the last two letters and put them on the table, then, very patiently, began to wait.

Kangxi will definitely summon her.

Time passed minute by minute.At dinner time, she called the people serving her back in again, lit the lamp, set the meal, forced herself to eat the same amount as usual, and even reviewed the Russian she had learned.

The darkness eroded the sky, and finally, there was no trace of the blood-like sunset.Not only did the stuffiness not dissipate, but it became more aggressive.

"Mommy, is it going to rain soon? Change the lamp to Mingwa."

"Yes, the servant is about to go. The princess can arrange it, it's later than usual."

"Well, ask Shu Tai to come in and remove my makeup."

At this moment, lightning flashed, followed by thunder.

With this light, Haifeng saw Fugui hurriedly running into Yikun Palace.

"Master, please wait for the arrangement. His Highness the Crown Prince has just delivered a message from Qianqing Palace, asking someone to invite the master to come over."

He whispered these words outside the window, then took a few steps closer, spread out his left palm, and showed Hai Feng the word "rest assured" written in his palm.

This is the prince's handwriting.

If you don't know anything, how can you rest assured?
Bean-sized raindrops hit the window lattice, clanging.Sister Fucha was going to pass the sedan chair, but was stopped by Haifeng.

"It's just a short period of wind and rain, so why worry. At this moment, the sedan chair will be passed on, and Liugong will know everything. When the rain stops, I will still go in a walking chariot."

"But……"

"It's irrelevant. You should take care of your paper umbrellas and coir raincoats, and wear them more densely. If this is contaminated with moisture, and you lose your dignity in front of the imperial court, then it will be a crime. Bring the makeup powder, and I will make up some more."

In this way, when Hai Feng entered the South Study Room of Qianqing Palace, he was almost invulnerable on the outside.

The prince came out to meet her, seeing her appearance, he was speechless for a while.

"You came so slowly, just for the hairpin ring?"

"It turns out to be quick. My brother didn't make it clear. Could it be possible to let me see Khan Ama in a disheveled state?"

"Forget it, there's no time to worry about it. Did you see what I told you?"

"What, I don't know."

After finishing speaking, she walked into the door of the study in a calm manner, and did not want to entangle with the prince any longer.

"Greetings to Khan Ama, big brother."

The princes were not there, so they should have avoided them temporarily.If she has already left the palace, she should be able to get the letter.

Kangxi looked her up and down several times before he called out and said to the big elder brother beside him.

"Look, we are busy for a day and a night, and she is not in a hurry. The fourth princess is here, let's take a look at Alani's book."

"What happened to Khan Ama? How dare I read the memorial?"

"You can look at your in-law's affairs."

Haifeng held the notebook in his hand as calmly as possible, and read it silently.

"Galdan led his troops to plunder...Khalkatong Kingdom, and everyone abandoned their tents and utensils...Tuchetu Khan, he does not know whether he is alive or dead."

Grandfather, I don't know whether to live or die.

But the prince told her to rest assured, so it was clear that there was no serious problem.

"Khan Ama, why did you fight so well? I heard that Khan Ama three years ago, didn't the Pali Fanyuan settle the dispute between the two departments?"

"I heard. Who do you listen to?"

"Who else is there, him."

"Oh. That's right. You have met. Let's read this one again."

Sure enough, there is a follow-up.

This memorial was obviously written more calmly, unlike the previous one which was hurried and vague.

Probably, last year Galdan tricked Zasaktu Khan into defecting to him with a population of cattle and horses, and his grandfather led troops to pursue him, but was attacked by Galdan's younger brother Dorji Zab.The grandfather actually won the one-on-two fight, and killed Galdan's younger brother.This year, Galdan personally led [-] elite soldiers to provoke again. Tuxietuhan's troops were not strong enough to resist, so they had to flee to the border and asked Kangxi for rescue.

"I see what Alani means. This is the Tushetu Khan's one-sided speech, and he just played it on his behalf. Khan Ama should also send someone to ask the Junggar tribe about the truth."

Kangxi nodded approvingly, and took away the memorial.

"I'm surprised that you don't speak in favor of Tuxietu Khan."

"Don't dare to lie to Khan Ama. I have only met one person from Tushetu Khan's department. Since I don't know what they are like, I can't take sides."

"Then tell me, should I accept the surrender of Tuxietu Khan's tribe?"

Hai Feng made a decisive decision and knelt down neatly.

"My daughter dare not intervene in such a military matter."

"I see you are scared. I asked casually. In fact, Galdan has also gone to the court, asking me to hand over Tuxie Tuhan to him to avenge the murder of my brother. I saw that both sides insisted on their own words and urgently issued an order. I'm afraid There was a mistake, so I didn't play it correctly. In addition, the grandson Taiji was on a mission for me in the Luocha Kingdom. If he didn't know him and executed his grandfather, wouldn't he be chilled? Since the mission was not over and he didn't come back, then this The case has to be put on hold. You are called to write to him about it."

"Yes. But I don't know how to write it?"

"How you wrote in the past, how you write now."

Hai Feng stood up, not daring to sit on the chair that Kangxi usually sat on, stood at the table and finished writing the letter, dried it carefully, and handed it to the prince who was waiting next to him.The prince gave it to Kangxi with both hands, but he just held it in his hand and didn't open it.

"Okay, let's go back early and rest. The prince will send your sister back properly."

"Yes."

After walking out of the gate of Qianqing Palace, Hai Feng dared to breathe naturally.

Kangxi's eyes and tone were too oppressive.

"Sister is so courageous. I think you can be a first-rank official. How many frontier officials stutter in front of Khan Ama."

"Brother, is this sincere, or is it a joke? My calves are still soft. What's going on?"

"It's nothing, Khan Ama had expected Galdan to do this. He will never wait for Luosha to negotiate peace with us, and then concentrate on dealing with him. If there is chaos in Mobei, grandpa and the others will have to come back, and the peace talks will be put on hold for the time being." Yes. Tushetu Khan killed Galdan’s younger brother too hard, which is difficult. Khan Ama has to pretend to be fair, even if it’s only on the surface. In fact, Prince An has already taken orders and led Soldiers are going to rescue them. The Mongolian ministries have also increased their troops, so you can rest assured."

"Then, what did you call me for?"

"Oh, there are so many entanglements here, I can't tell at the moment. Khan Ama regards the letters of the eldest grandson Taiji as treasures, and I haven't read a few of them. Maybe he missed you so much and pleaded with Khan Ama ? Haven’t you been unable to write back to him for three years?”

It can't be that simple!

Haifeng felt that Kangxi should know about Dobu's friendship with Tsar Peter.That's why he was cautious and let himself write this crucial letter.

It's true that when the book is used, there will be less hate!
Is this Peter the Peter I in the history books? If so, how many years did he start to rule?

But at least she had memorized the date of the signing of the Nerchinsk Treaty by rote.

1689 AD.

That is next year, the 28th year of Kangxi.
