Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2480 Eight Volumes 5

Fukang'an was not afraid at all, he raised his head high, with mocking eyes.

"You hit me!"

Yongzhen became furious and wanted to kick him.

The princes who were studying in the study, besides the eunuch Haha Zhuzi serving tea and water, were accompanied by guards and familiarity.Seeing that the twelfth elder brother was about to kick Fu Heng and Fu Jiuye's son-in-law, several eunuchs and guards rushed forward and hugged Yongzheng tightly.

Liu Fu, who had served Yongxie since he was a child, quickly leaned on his ear and begged in a low voice, "Oh, my elder brother, why have you forgotten who Fu Jiu is now? Elder brother If you want to become the crown prince smoothly, you must have the help of this Fu Jiuye in the previous court, so why bother to fight with his elder brother over such a trivial matter?"

Yong Xin gritted his teeth, scratched his feet, and insisted on driving out the group of people who trapped him.

"I don't care whose son he is, after all, I'm the son of the emperor! No one is as valuable as me! I'm not used to his problem. If I want to beat him up, no one will stop me today. I!"

Then Liu Fu had no choice but to kneel down to Yongzheng, and hugged Yongzheng's leg tightly, "Slave elder brother... When you get the big position smoothly, who do you want to deal with in the future? You For now, bear with it for now, as the old saying goes, 'Small intolerance can lead to big plans'..."

Anyway, Fukang'an was depressed these days, and was about to find someone to fight.In short, he felt uncomfortable, he didn't care if he was the first prince or not!
Fukang'an's own leg didn't care about the pain anymore, he jumped up and pointed at Yongxin's nose.

"You want to beat me? Okay, come and come! If you don't come, you don't deserve to be the emperor's elder brother!"

On the side, Yongxuan, Lawang and others were really worried about Fukan'an's forehead lines, and they both went up from left to right and grabbed Fukan'an's arm, not allowing him to make mistakes.

On the contrary, Zha Lantai has been quietly watching from the side, and he didn't come up to fight, and he didn't fan the flames.

It's just that the situation in front of me is already deadlocked, and if the trouble continues, even the masters and masters may not dare to take care of it. In the end, the emperor must be invited to make a decision.

Only then did Zhalantai quietly stepped forward, stood between the two groups of people, and said quietly, "From what I see, there must be a competition today."

Zhalantai has always been the most quiet person, but now he came out to say this, even Yongxing was anxious, and hurriedly called him, "Zhalan, you go back!"

Zha Lantai looked back quietly, and smiled faintly, "The emperor said well, the children of all families should not forget the fundamentals of archery, horse riding and archery, and should not lose the blood of men. Since there is a disagreement, we can't agree, let's compete A fight is what brothers should do."

It was rare for Yongzhen to hear a word against his temper, so he shouted, "Zha Lantai is well said! He is indeed the son of Zhaohui, the commander who pacified the Northwest! You all let me go and see how I can teach that unruly servant a lesson. !"

Zha Lantai turned his head to look over unhurriedly, but blinked and smiled, "Brother Twelve also thinks what the slave is saying is reasonable? The slave dares to ask Brother Twelve to listen to the arrangement of the slave this time, okay?"

Yong Xin nodded without thinking, "Just listen to you!"

Zha Lantai bowed with a smile, and then raised his head high, "Although it is a competition, but this is a palace ban after all, it would not look good if the majestic elder brother and the honorable children fought in public like this. How about this, we usually compete in archery , are all single-handedly capable, nothing new; how about asking Twelve Elder Brothers and Qilin Bao to be their respective coaches, and use the small woods in this garden as the battlefield to draw up an offensive and defensive plan. Who can defeat who in the end, okay?"

Before Yong Xin could answer, a handful of half-grown elder brothers cheered.

Zalantai's idea was clear: it was a "battle" that all the children present could participate in!

With the temperament of these boys, who doesn't like to put down the books for a while, and toss back with such blood and sweat!

Yong Xin couldn't hide his disappointment, gritted his teeth and said, "What is this!"

Zha Lantai raised his eyes unhurriedly and looked over, "The twelfth elder brother is the direct prince, and he has a bright future. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, all the kings have been generals. Who has no ability to strategize? Twelve elder brothers are The emperor's son, presumably must have inherited the emperor's ability to dominate the world."

Yong Xing was choked and gritted his teeth, "I will naturally inherit Huang Ama's sage and heroism!"

Zha Lantai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That is to say, Brother Twelve has already accepted the invitation of the slave." Zha Lantai immediately looked back and blinked at Fu Kang'an, "Then Qilinbao must live up to his loyalty and fairness and decide Dajinchuan What a handsome talent!"

Fukang'an was not afraid of this, so he clapped his hands and laughed, "I didn't say anything!"

So he jumped up to a high place, raised his hand and shouted, "Who wants to join me?"

On the contrary, the sons of a group of ministers who were studying in the upper study were willing to follow Fukang'an, but a group of clans, especially the children of the side clans, were willing to go with Yongzheng.

Yongxing was a little worried, so he pulled Zha Lantai's sleeve and asked softly, "Is the Qilin safe?"

Zalantai smiled quietly, his blue shirt reflected the winter sun, like a quiet and deep lake.

"...I heard that on the night of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty, Qilinbao also followed Eleven Brothers and you to play in the 'Wanhua Formation' to 'break out of the siege'? At that moment, even the emperor They have all praised Qilin Bao for his ability to deploy troops."

"I don't know if he can do it or not. I just think that since the emperor has said so, then we just have to believe in the emperor."

Yong Xing was taken aback by the words, raised his eyebrows and stared at Zha Lantai for a while, "Hey, how did you know about this?"

Zha Lantai smiled and said nothing, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Yongxing thought about it for himself, and he could only think that it was Qilin Bao who told Zha Lantai.

Yong Xing thought that Zha Lantai's words were reasonable, after all, those words were indeed what Huang Ama once said.The person Huang Ama is looking for is right.Besides, Duke Zhongyong once went to pacify Dajinchuan himself, and Qilin Bao's elder brother Fu Ling'an followed his cousin Mingrui to make military exploits in the northwest.

On the contrary, Yongzhen, although he is the first prince, has never seen him obsessed with military books and war strategies, has he?

While speaking, Yongzheng and Fukang'an had already selected the offensive and defensive sides: Fukangan chose the attacking side, and Yongzheng was also willing to be the defensive side-according to his own words, " This world and this imperial garden are all mine, so naturally this small forest is also mine!"

The postures on both sides were opened, and Yongzhen focused on the frontal defense, but Fukang'an had already taken advantage of the time when the two were arranging their own troops, and called a few people to outflank them to the back. As soon as the "war" started, Fukang'an's side had already flanked back and forth, giving Bao Yuan'er the Yongzheng side.

Yong Xing cursed with hatred, "When did those people come behind me? It must have been when we were divided between offense and defense, and you had already sent someone to hide there first! Qilin Bao, you cheated with this elder brother! !"

Fukang'an chuckled, "Haven't Twelve Brothers heard of 'Soldiers never tire of cheating'? On the battlefield, who would be honest and go out for fame? That would be death!"

Yongzhen refuses to accept, so he rushes up to Fukang'an to fight hand to hand.

On the contrary, Zalantai walked forward quietly, "Back to Elder Brother Twelve, since Elder Brother Twelve has left this matter to the servants to arrange, the outcome has been decided, and Elder Brother Twelve should appease his anger. Or The servants had no choice but to kneel down and beg the masters and masters to go back to the Emperor Ming—Brother Twelve doesn’t want the Emperor to know that he lost this battle to his servants, right?”
.
Although Yongzheng was not willing to give up, he still knew the benefits and disadvantages after all. Being dragged by the guards and eunuchs, he went down the donkey and retreated temporarily.

"Zhalan, you didn't stand by my side today, I'm mad at you!" Fukang'an excitedly stepped forward to pat Zhalantai, "However, it seems that you have made a mistake for me." Good idea, I'm finally relieved!" Fukangan hugged Zalantai's shoulder excitedly, "What a good buddy!"

Zhalantai is Zhaohui's son, and Zhaohui is the commander in chief to pacify the Northwest, so everyone expects Zhalantai to have the military talent of his Ama.

Zha Lantai smiled faintly, "It's fine if you win."

On the contrary, Yongxuan was older and could see more clearly, so he walked over and patted Zha Lantai on the shoulder approvingly, "The way to use soldiers may not be to go into battle personally, even if you plan a strategy like Zha Lan, You can be handsome!"

Despite Yong Xing's approval, Zha Lantai still smiled quietly and shook his head politely, "No, I actually don't like fighting at all. No matter how great a victory is in this world, it's not as good as 'winning without fighting'."

Yong Xing raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect that Zhao Hui's son didn't have the temperament of a general.Yong Xing thought for a while but also gave a thumbs up, "Non-war, what we pay attention to is to win without fighting. Non-war means not not to fight, but to attack the heart."

Zalantai then raised his eyes and smiled, his black pupils gleaming.
.
That night, Yong Xing went to greet Concubine Shu, so he euphemistically recounted the events during the day.

Yongxing protects Fukang'an, on the one hand because of his affection since he was a child, and on the other hand because of his adoptive mother Concubine Shu.After all, Concubine Shu is Fukang'an's biological aunt, and the two of them are like two aunts and brothers.

Concubine Shu also frowned when she heard this, "This Yongzheng, the bigger he is, the more lawless he is. But he doesn't blame himself, if it's to blame, he can only blame the empress for his incompetence in teaching!"

Speaking of Yongxun, Concubine Shu's most distressed thing is naturally Yongxun.Concubine Shu pulled Yongxing over and sat down together, "You are the same age as Yongxing, and you have suffered the most from him since childhood. My son, it's hard for you to bear it all. It hurts to think about it.”

Yong Xing lowered his eyes lightly, "My son has been with the elder for 12 months at least. As an elder brother, he should have seen more. The son just abandoned his innate arrogance. The son knows what he deserves and what he can fight for; As for what is not deserved and cannot be disputed, it is auspicious for my son to avoid it all the time."

Concubine Shu's heart trembled.

Speaking of which, her ignorance back then...was not as clear as the child in front of her.

Concubine Shu took Yong Xing's hand, "It's very good that you protect Qilin Bao today. I am relieved a lot, and when your aunt comes to the palace, I will definitely mention it in front of her. "

Yong Xing also blushed, "Emiang doesn't need it, my son has nothing to brag about."

Concubine Shu snorted softly, "Anyway, you and Yongzheng will marry each other next year. I don't want to do anything else, but I have to fight for you—I must call you Fujin, which is more important than the Fujin I gave him. Good to go!"
.
On the first day of November, the Minister of Military and Aircraft made a request to officially include "Western Regions and Xinjiang" in the "Unified Chronicles of the Qing Dynasty".So far, the imperial court has expanded more than [-] miles of land in the Western Regions. After it was officially recorded in Gansu Province, it was recorded in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains unified by the Qing Dynasty.

The first contribution to this major event is Zhaohui, but I don't know if it is a destiny in the dark. When all the dust in the Northwest finally settled on the first day of November, Zhaohui unexpectedly died suddenly on this November [-]th. Long gone.

A commander-in-chief who opened up the territory for the Qing Dynasty and clearly brought Xinjiang back to the territory for the first time in Chinese history, after completing the most important thing in his life, he left contentedly ...

This is a kind of completion, but why not a regret?

The emperor was terrified when he heard about it, and never expected that Zhao Hui would pass away in his prime.After all, it has only been a few years since he pacified the northwest.

In the past few years, Zhaohui returned to Beijing but did not spend his life as a hero. The emperor also entrusted Zhaohui with all the important matters of water control in the south.Just before Zhaohui passed away, he was still on top of the important task of water control in the south.

When the news came, Wanxi was also stunned.No matter what, I didn't expect Zhaohui to leave so early...

Jiujiu's relationship with Zhalantai since he was a child has not yet reached the age, and the emperor has not had time to break it off in the future. Who would have thought that Zhaohui would pass away.

Wanxi was so sad that she shed tears, for Zhaohui, for the court; also for Zalantai, and her own young daughter.

When the news came, the emperor was walking around Nanyuan.Hearing the news, he returned to the garden immediately.

On the same day, he came to Zhaohui's mansion to give a memorial service.

There are quite a few ministers who came to present the memorial ceremony in person, but those who could make the emperor put down everything immediately after hearing the news, and immediately came to present the memorial ceremony in person on the same day, not to mention that it is extremely rare among the ministers, are the clan princes who passed away this year These few have never received such treatment.

It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to Zhaohui.

The emperor is like this, Wanxi is very pleased.It's just a pity that as a harem, she can't go with the emperor.

The emperor also knew that Wanxi would be uncomfortable, so he came back to the garden, first went to the Changchun Garden to greet the Empress Dowager, and then returned to the Yuanmingyuan to come here to change clothes.

Wanxi tried her best to restrain herself, but her nose was still red.

The emperor saw it, so he didn't say much, but while Wanxi was changing his clothes, he reached out and grabbed Wanxi's hand, holding it tightly.

Wanxi originally tried her best to hold back, not wanting to cry in front of the emperor, but now she couldn't bear it anymore.

She hung her head and choked up, "Master... I really miss my childhood. At that time, I was still an official girl, and I dared to wear Mao Tuaner's clothes, hoping to secretly follow my master for a while."

The emperor also lowered his eyes and nodded, "Master, just go, don't worry."

Wanxi bit her lip and turned her head to look at Mao Tuan'er.

Mao Tuan'er shivered for a while, knowing that the concubine and master had assigned him something again.He thought about it, and said softly, "Back to the master...slave, you have grown up."

Wanxi stared angrily.Xin said, when you grow up, don't you have the eunuch Haha Bead beside you?

The emperor didn't understand why, so he looked at Wanxi helplessly, and said softly, "...my lord is already so old, and he doesn't follow the eunuch Haha Zhuzi who is under ten years old."

When the emperor was young, he was fine, and there were haha ​​beads, such as Mao Tuan'er, who had been serving him since he was a child.

Wanxi bit her lip, but she didn't care, she just turned her head and stared at Yuchan, "Go to your Master Qing...Your fifteenth elder brother is greedy."

Yuchan quickly squatted down, turned around and trotted out.

The emperor turned his head and stared at Wanxi, wanting to open his mouth, but Wanxi raised her eyes and stared at her, her little mouth turned away, her eye circles were already red, "Master, don't you agree?"

The emperor had no choice but to swallow all the words, and shook his head, "No, I didn't say anything."

Wanxi then ordered Yuying to hurry to Concubine Rong and bring Jiujiu over.

Shaoqing Xiaoshiwu's clothes were also delivered.There is no suitable eunuch costume, but at any rate, whether it is a prince or an eunuch, the regular clothes are all the same stone blue color, and they can be mixed together at a glance.

Wanxi personally replaced Jiujiu, and softly instructed, "...Ama, don't call me Ama, but Master; if you don't call Wenda, call me Master."

Jiujiu was a little confused, and asked, "Ernie, is this...?"

Wanxi gently squeezed Jiujiu's little cheek, "Do you want to see little brother Zhalan? If you want to see him, just listen to Enie."

As soon as he heard little brother Zalan, Jiujiu agreed to everything.

Wanxi walked out leading Jiujiu's little hand, glared at Mao Tuan'er, and pushed Jiujiu next to Mao Tuan'er.

"Jiujiu, what's your name?"

Chirping is also agile, so he raised his head and said crisply, "Master Mao Mao!"

Mao Tuan'er was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "Oh, my eighth princess, this slave is really shameless..." This body really looks like countless hairs are tied up.

The emperor was originally focused on mourning, but now Wanxi and Jiujiu mother and daughter almost laughed after such a toss.

Wanxi raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor lightly, stepped forward to gently hold the emperor's hand, and shook it pleadingly, "It's a trivial matter, so people can only feel sad; but the Lord is the Son of Heaven, and he has the power to turn things around. Master can turn this trivial matter into a red matter! The hero will be able to walk away with a smile on his face, or he will die, it is all in the master's mind."

The emperor could only sigh, and patted Wanxi's hand lightly, "My master has counted. You promise me, don't cry."
.
The emperor took Jiujiu, disguised Jiujiu as a little eunuch, and followed Mao Tuan'er to Zhaohui's mansion.

Since the emperor came to give the memorial ceremony in person on the day Zhaohui had just passed away, the Ministry of Internal Affairs almost rushed to inform Zhaohui's mansion.Zhaohui's mansion didn't have time to prepare, and Zha Lantai was still young... So when the emperor arrived, everyone in Zhaohui's mansion didn't have time to change into green robes; Zha Lantai hurriedly knelt outside the gate to greet him .

Zha Lantai first apologized in tears because of his disrespect in front of the king.

The emperor hurriedly bowed himself, pulled Zalantai up, and said sadly, "Silly boy. I came here in a hurry. I got your father's letter and I rushed here. I didn't have the time to prepare for your family. Besides, you just arrived this year. How old are you, a child who is only ten years old, how can I blame you?"

Jiujiu didn't know what it was before, all he knew was that he came to see little brother Zhalan.It wasn't until this moment, when she was left in the sedan chair, and she saw the white outside from the sedan window, and saw the outfit of little brother Zhalan whom she was thinking of from a distance, that she suddenly understood.

Hiding in the sedan chair, Jiujiu's tears fell in pairs.If Mao Tuan'er hadn't stopped her, she really wanted to run out and wipe away the tears of little brother Zalan.

She choked with sobs and pushed the ball of hair, "Yanda was so cruel that he didn't allow me to go. Ama and Enie both allowed me to come, but Wenda stopped me and wouldn't let me go out."

Mao Tuan'er also sighed, and said softly, "The princess is still young, so she shouldn't be involved in these matters. Besides, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can she appear in front of these people?"

"But the noble concubine master tried to get the princess to come, firstly to respect the merits of Lord Zhaohui, secondly, this event only happens once in a lifetime, and also because the princess might miss it this time, and I am afraid that she will regret going when she grows up. "

"It's just that even if you come, it's always inconvenient to go in front of people. It's just to take a look from a distance, but after all, the princess's people are here. I think whether it's the princess's own size or the little brother Zalan, I will know in the future The whole story, I will be more relieved in my heart."

After all, Jiujiu is also seven years old, so he understands the truth.It's just because she is sensible, on the contrary, she feels even more sad in her heart - this step is really so close.

Jiujiu said with tears in his eyes, "I went through the filial piety for Concubine Shen this year, and I also lived in Jing'an Manor. I know what's going on, and I also understand the rules of this white matter... what restricts me... , It’s just my daughter’s body. I beg you Jinda, just let me take a look, I’m always wearing Xiaoshiwu’s clothes right now, and others won’t recognize me.”

Mao Tuan'er also felt sorry for the eighth princess, and seeing that she couldn't stop her, she hurried up and whispered back to the emperor.

The emperor pondered for a while, turned around, came back, and bowed into the sedan chair.

Jiujiu cried and fell into the emperor's arms, "Ama...let's ask my daughter to go and have a look. It's fine if my daughter doesn't come. Now that my daughter is here, how can she just stand by like this?"

The emperor hugged Jiujiu's shoulders, "Silly girl. The only obstacle you said is your daughter's body—then just wait, and Ama will solve this obstacle for you."

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked down and tore a sachet from Jiujiu's belt.

Jiujiu Aixiang, even though she changed into Xiaoshiwu's clothes temporarily today, she also disliked Xiaoshiwu's boyish smell, so she tied her usual sachet on her belt.

The emperor strode away to the main hall of Zhaohui's mansion, where he stood and gave the offering.

It is the highest standard for the king to offer sacrifices to ministers.

After the emperor finished his drink, he gently put the sachet that Jiujiu carried with him on the incense table.

Looking up at Zhaohui's wooden master's spirit seat, the two monarchs and ministers were talking silently across the Yin and Yang realms——

"Zhaohui, you can leave at ease. I have already left my most beloved at your house."

In the sound of Zhaohui's relatives kowtowing their heads and thanking each other, the emperor walked out of the door and patted Jiujiu's little hand lightly, "Go. If your daughter is an obstacle that separates you, now you are his family. It has been withdrawn."

Mao Tuan'er personally accompanied Jiu Jiu, and hurried to Za Lantai carefully.Zha Lantai was kneeling to send him off, but when he saw the eunuch's clothes suddenly, he thought that the emperor still had instructions, so he raised his head quickly—unexpectedly, his eyes fell into those light and delicate water pupils.

Zalantai was startled and almost blurted out.Mao Tuan'er was the first to remind in a deep voice, "Brother Zalan..."

Zha Lantai hurriedly stopped, but stared at Jiujiu with tears in his eyes, but the corners of his eyes finally floated with relief.

We haven't seen each other for some time, Jiujiu is no longer the ignorant little girl at that time, she is now seven years old anyway, half-knowledgeable.She blushed, and instead of the normal state of distinguishing between love and hate, she twitched her fingers and became a little helpless.

After a while, he said, "...My sachet was taken away by my Ama and brought into your home."

Zha Lantai's heart was pounding, and he raised his eyes to fix Jiujiu tightly.

There was heat in those eyes.

Jiujiu was so ashamed that he didn't know what to do, he stamped his feet hurriedly, "I have to go! You, don't cry; otherwise, I don't feel at ease when I go."

Outside, the emperor has issued a decree: "Co-organize the first-class minister of the Ministry of Family Affairs of the University, Wu Yi, Zhaohui, who is diligent in nature, and talented in training. The battle in the west border, the inheritance of the temple strategy, the style of the Yuan Rong, the twists and turns, the skin A collection of meritorious service. It is used to reward the mediocre to be promoted to the nobility, to assist in praising the forbidden court, to be directly promoted, and to rely on official capital."

"Yesterday, the baby was slightly ill, and a doctor was sent to see it. Fang intended to make some adjustments, and he hoped that he would be cured, but he passed away suddenly. I am deeply saddened, and I will come to the memorial ceremony in person today."

"With Jia Enjin, I donated it to the Taibao and entered it into the Xianliang Temple. I also rewarded 5000 taels of internal money for the funeral."

"Nian Yizi is still young. I will send the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Guan Bao, and a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to act as the manager. All the compensation codes that are due will be followed by the Ministry."

Zhaohui's title is a first-class duke, but the emperor personally gave him 5000 taels of funeral silver, which is seven or eight times the duke's funeral silver. After the death of the master, the silver reward is also 5000 taels)
The emperor was especially sympathetic to Zha Lantai, and personally sent the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to manage the funeral... This is not only the emperor's grace to the minister, but also almost with personal emotions.

Zhaohui's family cried bitterly, thanking the emperor for his kindness.

But most of them don't know that the emperor even gave a funeral ceremony that was more important than the silver rewards and funeral ceremonies in the decree--I am afraid that only Zhaohui and Zha Lantai, the father and son, are the only ones who are willing to give up. I understand.
.
The sorrow of Zhaohui's death was smoldering in Jiujiu's heart, but the empress dowager's birthday would be a few days later, and the joy in the palace would not diminish in the slightest.

On November [-]th, the emperor personally welcomed the empress dowager back to the palace from the Changchun Garden, and all the harem followed.Jiujiu also followed back to Yongshou Palace.

This holy birthday, she knew that little brother Zhalan had to observe his filial piety, and this holy birthday, including Chinese New Year, and even next year's new year, she would never see little brother Zhalan.

She felt melancholy, so she didn't bother to go to the theater with the Empress Dowager and the others.

Seeing Jiujiu's melancholy, Xiao Qi was also affected, and couldn't be happier.
