Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 267 Military Power

"Oh, look at this little girl, she is so smart! She just loves looking at rare objects!"

Although the fifth princess was not promoted to be an aunt for the first time, it was the first time she hugged her niece. She excitedly held the fourth sister's three-month-old daughter for a walk around Ningshou Palace.

The Queen Mother took off the glasses she had put on specifically to see Little Gege clearly, and took Haifeng's hand.

"Bloom first, then bear fruit. How old are you? Are you still worried that you won't have a son in the future?"

"Yes, Mama is worried about her granddaughter."

"It doesn't matter to me, the emperor seemed a little disappointed. After Zhang Shun came to report the news, the emperor took the living Buddha of the Tuxie Tuhan tribe and talked for a long time. But I saw that Duobu was hurting little Gege, and I wanted to come to your husband's house. I won’t say anything.”

Haifeng lowered his eyelids and tried his best to hide what was going on in his heart.

She just gave birth to a daughter that her husband wanted, so why should her husband's family say anything.

The second princess has been married to Bahrain for ten years, and she has never been pregnant once. The third princess has not even been able to see her husband's face all year round.

Did their in-laws ever complain?

Are they not dissatisfied at all?

It was because of the emperor's face that he didn't dare to say it.

And this time, regardless of whether they were close or distant, everyone tried to comfort her when they saw her. The root cause also lies with Kangxi.

He wanted a grandson, but failed to do so. He showed his regret, and everyone inside and outside the palace began to follow suit.

Haifeng was not anxious at all.

After all, she gave birth to Kangxi's first biological granddaughter.If nothing else happens, the first grandson in the future will also be her son.

The Queen Mother obviously thought so too, so she didn't dwell on this issue anymore, but turned to worry about other things.

"The Ai family returned to Horqin this time and met many people from their natal family. Duan Min still can't get pregnant. It will only be more difficult for her in the future, and Arula refuses to return to the secular world. The second princess and Shuhui are also at a standstill because they have no heirs. Wait; your third sister... tell me what good she is. She obviously has a husband and lives like a widow. But all of them still pretend to be perfect in front of the emperor. When the Ai family saw it, they felt even worse. "

"Everyone has their own fate, Ma Ma, please take it easy. The two sisters are not yet 30 years old. As for Aunt Duanmin... I have some ideas for giving birth to children, but I am afraid that my aunt will still be jealous of Duolun. He refuses to accept my help regarding Noel’s matter.”

The Queen Mother had long wanted the fourth princess to help her adopted daughter, Princess Duan Min, prescribe some tonics to recuperate her body so that she could have a son to inherit the title as soon as possible.I was afraid that the fourth princess had a grudge, so she never mentioned it.This time I heard her take the initiative and was so moved that I was speechless for a long time.

"You kid, you are really overly sensible. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it would be really unfair for you to marry Arula. With his body, how could you be as happy as you are now and give birth to little Princess. How can you figure it out? Once the letter is written, I will send someone to deliver it to Duan Min, not to mention it was your idea. She was really spoiled by me when she was a child. I don’t know why she has such a bad temper. "

Haifeng asked Axiang to go to the Imperial Hospital and bring Princess Duanmin’s pulse report.

As a result, As Xiang stepped out of the main hall of Ningshou Palace with her left foot, she happened to meet Kangxi coming to greet the Queen Mother, so she quickly stepped aside and knelt down with everyone else.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Get up."

As soon as Kangxi entered the palace, he saw the fifth princess holding little princess in her arms and looking at the newly blooming wintersweet flowers in the yard. He was very surprised.

"It's a cold day, so you're not afraid of freezing her."

The fifth princess had an idea and pushed little Princess into her father's arms.

"Then Ama, please hug your granddaughter and warm her up!"

Kangxi was caught off guard and subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick up the little girl.Liang Jiugong hurriedly stepped forward to help hug him, but Kangxi waved him away.

"It's okay. Can't I even hold a child?"

The Holy Emperor returned to Beijing after his northern tour. These days, Haifeng's Princess Kejing's mansion has been visited by visitors every day.I went with him to Mongolia and Shengjing, and the royal family members who had not had time to attend the third-party washing ceremony and the full-moon ceremony came in an endless stream to make up for the gifts.Little Princess had to meet several strangers every day. She was a little scared at first, but then she got used to it.

Facing this bearded man in his 40s who hugged her as soon as he came up, Xiao Gege did exactly what she had learned before, first smiled broadly, and then touched his cheek.

Without him, it’s just a routine.

Kangxi had long heard that his granddaughter looked similar to his son-in-law. Only when he saw it with his own eyes today did he know how much they looked like.

No wonder my son-in-law likes her so much even though she is just a princess.

He directly carried the child into the main hall, which shocked Haifeng. He calmly stepped forward and took his daughter into his hands.

"Fifth sister is now talking about someone else's eldest girl, why are you still so naughty?"

"I see that you are also in Nirvana for the first time, and your heart is very big. It's so cold outside, aren't you afraid that your child will catch a cold?"

Regarding this, Haifeng is really not worried.

The way the royal family raises children is sometimes too meticulous and sometimes too rough, so the infant mortality rate of newborns always fluctuates around 50.00%.

As long as you keep warm and go out to breathe some fresh air, it will be beneficial to your health.

And the daughter she gave birth to, the last thing she needed to worry about was her health.

The fifth princess who came in after Kangxi was very eloquent and told her father the rumors that had been talked about all over the capital.

"Don't you know, Khan Ama? The fourth sister's little princess is different from other children. She can't speak yet, but she knows how to pick the milk to eat. As long as the fourth sister is in a slightly low mood, the child will taste the milk and feel It didn't taste like what she was used to, so she refused to drink it. Her brother-in-law spoiled her, and now there are three wet nurses in the princess's house. Other wet nurses drink crucian carp soup to take supplements; guess what, the fourth sister What do we feed the wet nurses at home?”

Kangxi saw the empress dowager's smiling face. Although he was not very interested in this topic, he still asked in a joking manner:
"The fourth princess knows medical skills, probably prescribing prescriptions and conditioning, right?"

"Khan Amma guessed wrong! One drank cow's milk, another drank goat's milk, and another drank mare's milk! Every morning, my brother-in-law went to watch the servants milking the cows in person, and then supervised the wet nurses to drink them while they were fresh; then it came When little Gege was breastfeeding, this little girl, from the fourth sister to the three wet nurses, would take a small sip each of them, and she would drink from whose milk the milk was fragrant."

The fifth princess is playful and lively, telling this story vividly and with exciting twists and turns.The maids and nuns present here could not help but smile even though they had heard it once before.Even the corners of Kangxi's mouth began to rise after hearing this.

"Won't the Fourth Princess persuade Duobu?"

"Don't dare to persuade her! He was very happy, saying that this way she looks like a Mongolian girl. And this girl, I can't reason with her. She doesn't like the milk, and she really doesn't drink it. When I was pregnant, whenever I got up in the morning I would think What to eat, if there is no such dish on the lunch table, she will make me vomit and not be able to get out of bed."

Just because Kangxi didn't show it on his face, it didn't mean that he didn't mind the awkward marital status of the second and third princesses.

Comparing the fourth princess with them, at least the couple Qin Se and He Ming gave birth to his granddaughter very quickly, which is already considered good.In the family happiness of Ningshou Palace, Kangxi finally smoothed over the obstacles in his heart.

He gave his fourth daughter a look. After Haifeng noticed it, he casually found an excuse:

"My son is bold and wants to use Khan Amma's study to write a few words."

"Oh, it just so happens that I want to give little Princess a nickname. I have thought of a few. You can choose one yourself."

The Queen Mother thought that the fourth princess wanted to write a prescription for Princess Duan Min, so she hurriedly asked someone to clean up the study.

Haifeng left his daughter to the wet nurse and his sister to play with, and followed Kangxi to the study to discuss matters.

"Are you feeling well again?"

"Thank you Khan Ama for your concern. Everything has recovered."

"Okay. Then, I'll leave it to you to do the work."

Haifeng had just sat down, and when he heard Kangxi's words, he suddenly felt as if he had returned to modern times. The boss asked his employees:
"Have you finished your maternity leave?"

"Well, the insurance money has been paid."

"Oh, let's start working on a new project!"

The princess also has to be a laborer!
"Please give me your instructions, Khan Amma."

"Oh. The first thing is that Zhang Penghe investigated the Shaanxi seed planting case cleanly and collected all the grain from each granary. I am very satisfied and will use it again in the future. He has been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and will wait for him to come back from Shaanxi. , I want to give the governor of Liangjiang and send him to rectify the extravagance in the southern officialdom. But in this case, there will be no capable person on the censor's side. "

"Khan Amma wants to activate Guo Xiu?"

Kangxi was sitting cross-legged on the kang, glanced at his fourth daughter sitting below, and felt a trace of regret in his joy.

It just happened to be a princess.

He gave birth to many princes, but none of them could match his fourth daughter's sharpness of mind.

When she and her son-in-law return to Mobei for a long time, who will he call?
"Not bad. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Khan Amma will be on his southern tour next year and will pass by Wujiang. Guo Xiu once served as an official here and has a good reputation among the people. My daughter went to make arrangements and asked some people to cry out to Khan Amma on the road to defend Guo Xiu. However, , he can't directly return to the capital to be a public official. Otherwise, the people he offended in the past will still be jumping up and down. Since Zhang Penghie is the governor of Liangjiang, he might as well try the governor of Huguang, and the two of them will take care of each other in the south. I don't know, Ama, what do you mean? how?"

"It's a good idea. As for where to send Guo Xiu after his comeback, I will consider it again."

"Yes."

The appointment and dismissal of the two feudal officials was just an appetizer in the entire conversation between father and daughter.

What Kangxi really wanted to talk about was the intricate power struggle in Mongolia, Tibet, and Qinghai, the three major frontier provinces.

"I asked the new Great Khan of the Junggar tribe to send Galdan's daughter Zhong Jihai and Galdan's ashes to Beijing, but he refused in every possible way and did not obey the order. I asked about Duobu, and he also interceded for Zhong Jihai. It means why bother with a teenage girl. Is that what you said?"

"Khan Ama has learned a lesson. A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. Zhong Jihai is indeed weak, but her biological mother is dead. If she continues to stay with Ce Wang, no matter how many years older she is, he will definitely make the decision in her future marriage. Instead of asking, Zhong Jihai Whether we should go to the capital or not, it is better to ask how much Khan Amma trusts Cewang."

"He was recommended by Dobu, don't you trust him?"

"My daughter knows that Khan Amma does not fully trust Dobu or the entire Mobei that has just surrendered. What's more, the policy he recommended is ridiculous."

As soon as Haifeng said these words, the entire study suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Kangxi looked into his daughter's frank eyes and felt that it was unexpected yet reasonable.

He was originally worried that his daughter would become weak after giving birth to a child for her son-in-law, and would act as a peacemaker between Mongolia and the capital, losing the decisiveness she had in the past.

If this is the case, he plans to put some spies into the princess's mansion and rearrange the arrangements.

However, the fourth princess really lived up to his years of cultivation, and the boundaries between home and country were clear.

"Go on."

"My son asked Chen Tingjing to submit a statement about Shaanxi affairs. He suggested that from now on, if an official recommends another person as an official, the person who recommended him in the future should also be punished for dereliction of duty and perverting the law. Since Khan Ama approved this statement, Na Chen, as the first one to suggest, should naturally lead by example. Duobu recommended Ce Wang, and what happens to Ce Wang in the future is the princess's residence. If he dares to follow Galdan's old path again, Na Chen suggested that he should send troops immediately to prevent Prevent it from happening before it happens.”

Haifeng stood up solemnly, knelt upright in front of Kangxi and asked for the order.

"If Mongolian Khan Amma does not give up, please grant it to my sons and ministers to urgently mobilize the power to garrison troops in Shaanxi, Guihua and other places. Now that Galdan is at peace, the border seems to be peaceful, but it is not. Dibasang Jie Gyatso Knowing clearly that Dangar Dan was plotting rebellion, he still had a close relationship with him. He just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Mongolian Heshuote tribe in Qinghai was consumed by the infighting for the throne of the Khan. He could use the troops of the Junggar tribe to expel the Mongolian forces from Tibet, so that the Holy See in Lhasa could monopolize power. , no need to continue to be controlled by others.”

"What does this have to do with your desire for military power?"

Hearing that Kangxi did not refuse, but asked questions, the faint fire of hope in Haifeng's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Although Galdan is dead now, there is no guarantee that Cewang will not have undesirable thoughts about Tibet. Soldiers are very fast. If Cewang takes the lead in attacking Qinghai and Tibet, Khan Ama is far away in the capital. It takes at least 20 days to exchange news. Wouldn't it be cheap if we could give the advice to our subordinates first and adapt to changes accordingly?"

"Feng'er, you are right. But do you still remember why I disliked the Second Princess and Concubine Rong back then?"

"Khan Ama, if I have the intention to stay in Qingcheng, help Eni return to the Forbidden City, wouldn't it be the best idea to give birth to a younger brother to help with the dignity of Concubine Jing? Is it possible that with my medical skills, I can't help you?" Can’t you help Eni get pregnant with a dragon fetus again?”

She said it all.

Going further, it will seem particularly deliberate.

14 years.

Returning to this ruthless political arena, she started from scratch and worked hard to run the business. She used the wealth she had accumulated over 14 years to make a huge gamble at this moment.

She wanted to really try to see how much Kangxi trusted her.

Haifeng, wait with bated breath, history, the moment of turning.

The governor of Liangjiang is the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi.Let me add some background knowledge that is awkward to put in the text: Tibet was ruled by the last secular aristocratic regime, the Zangba dynasty, from 1565 to 1642 AD.This dynasty was overthrown by religious struggles. The emerging Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, which was suppressed by the dynasty, was unwilling to sit back and wait for death. It led the Mongolian Heshuote troops into Tibet, overthrew the Zangba dynasty, and sent people to express its goodwill to the Qing Dynasty and express its willingness to pay tribute. , recognized by the Qing Dynasty.Afterwards, the two sides divided the results, and Tibet entered an era of dual rule.However, this wartime alliance was not stable enough. After the first-generation alliance members died one after another, the conflicts between the successors of both sides deepened day by day.Dipa Sangye Gyatso mentioned in the article is the successor of the Groot sect.
