Chapter 2572 Nine Volumes 54 Daughter Slave

Regarding Xiaoqi's return to Mobei in order to dress her mother-in-law in filial piety, the emperor spent a lot of time in his busy schedule.

First of all, Xiao Qi is a princess, even Princess Gu Lun, but she has to fulfill her duty as a human being, and she must go back to wear filial piety with her forehead.

This example is already an old one from Princess Hejing.

In July of the 14th year of Qianlong, Princess Hejing's father-in-law, Prince Luobu Zanggunpo of Horqin Zuozhong Banner, fell ill, and the emperor ordered Princess Hejing to visit Horqin; in March of the 17th year of Qianlong, Princess Hejing The father-in-law died of illness, and the emperor ordered Princess Hejing to return to the flag quickly to wear filial piety for the father-in-law.

As for Xiaoqi's wearing filial piety, her mother-in-law died in December of the 35th year of Qianlong. The emperor immediately ordered Xiaoqi to go to Mobei to wear filial piety. It was originally scheduled to leave on the tenth day of the first lunar month.

But the emperor said it was true, but in fact, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, he just asked Xiao Qi to leave Beijing and go to the Rehe Palace to wait for the order.

Sure enough, eleven days later, that is, on the 21st day of the first lunar month, the emperor issued another decree: "Norbuzabu, Prince of Khalkha, said that the place in Khalkha is very cold, and it is now spring. There is no place to avoid, and it is really difficult for us to wait for Khalkha, and we are very frightened."

In the eleven days between, the emperor was actually waiting for the Khalkha tribe to submit a memorandum to request that the seventh princess not go away at this time.

Then the emperor ordered Xiao Qi to wait in the summer resort. On March 24th, spring will begin and the snow and ice will no longer be dangerous.

Therefore, although Xiaoqi's line of work has been going on for a long time, he has not actually been tossed by the extreme cold and sandstorm in Mobei.

Concubine Wan sighed and laughed when she talked about this, "It is a pity that the emperor has repeatedly emphasized in the decree that 'the princess should do his best for the matter of Cheng Gunzhabu Fujin', but the emperor left one decree and another decree, stunned." It is to stop our Liansheng from December last year until March this year before we set off."

"After such a delay, three months have passed, and I went to Khalkha to wear filial piety for my mother-in-law. The filial piety period is over. I thought, Liansheng set off from Rehe Palace in March and arrived in Khalkha. It's going to be April, and if I go there, it's just a funeral ceremony, and I don't even need to wear filial piety."

It is only natural for a daughter-in-law to wear filial piety for her mother-in-law.But with the heart of being a natal mother, who wouldn't love her daughter more?In short, on such occasions, if you can suffer less grievances, you should suffer less grievances.

Yuqin also laughed when she heard this, and said: "It's not that I missed it! The emperor's decree also made it clear, 'Cheng Kunzabu has finished his work again, come to welcome the princess personally'... Didn't he already said Now, when our seventh princess is being raised steadily in the Summer Resort, Prince Cheng Gunzabu has finished Fujin's funeral, and even the old prince who is the father-in-law will come to greet our princess in person~"

Wanxi felt ashamed when she heard this, and covered her face with her sleeves, "What the emperor did... really made me a little ashamed to see Cheng Gunzabu and his wife."

Concubine Ying clapped her palms and said with a smile, "Your majesty, too, look at the big detours. Why don't you just issue an order, say that you love the seventh girl, and don't want to send the girl to go to Mongolia... that's it!"

When the princess finally arrived in Tamir in April, the emperor kindly sent a letter there, asking the minister in charge, Myrason, to tell Xiaoqi: "The pasture there is also the princess's home. After arriving there, stay for a few more days, (if Go to see and serve) Cheng Gunzabu, it is in accordance with the etiquette, there is no need to return in a hurry."

One of the ministers who had to go with the princess returned to Beijing to reply to the order, and the emperor asked Xiaoqi earnestly about the situation on the way.After waiting to hear that "the princess walks very well along the way, and her subordinates are all quiet and have nothing to do", the emperor said happily, "This is~~"

The demeanor of an old father nagging his daughter to go back to her in-law's house is vivid on paper, without any concealment.

How could this be the emperor who killed and decided to kill, he was clearly a daughter slave who cared for his daughter from afar~
"That's right, the minister in charge who went with Liansheng this time is the cabinet bachelor Myrason!" Yuqin said again, "I remembered, the day before we left for Beijing, the emperor issued an order to call Merason He also serves as the right servant of the Ministry of Officials."

Concubine Ying burst out laughing, "Okay, Myraxon will accompany our Seventh Princess back to her in-law's house. We set off on March 24, and we will return on the ninth day of June. The total is less than three months. , the emperor will add two errands~~ This is not clear, the emperor wants to say that following our seventh princess will be a beautiful errand!"

Wanxi smiled and said, "Okay~~ Let's talk about these words behind closed doors and laughingly. When you see Xiao Qi, you must not talk about it in front of her. Otherwise, you won't let the child have a proud child." angry?"

On the contrary, Yuqin said, "Liansheng is the first imperial daughter who was not born by the empress since we entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty. She was first conferred as Princess Gulun. This status is precious in the first place. How can we dote on us aunts?" It's all right!"

Wanxi stretched out her hand to shake Concubine Yu's hand, "That child Lawang has lost his mother... He entered the palace since he was a child, and left his mother when he was two years old; the time spent with his mother in the past ten years has been limited, but How could he have thought that when he finally got married, his mother passed away."

"When the child comes back, he will inevitably be lonely. I want you, the adoptive mother who raised him since childhood, to do your part for the child."

Concubine Yu also choked up, "That's what I should do. If it weren't for the strict rules of the palace, why wouldn't I want to be able to leave the palace and go back to Khalkha to accompany that child, alas..."

Wanxi held Concubine Yu's hand, feeling relieved.

In the past few years, the emperor's intentions have become more and more clear. She, Yuqin, Concubine Ying, Concubine Yu and Concubine Rong accompanied her on several grand tours.

Except for herself, the other four sisters are all adoptive mothers of her son, daughter, and even her son-in-law.

The emperor's heart is not even represented by the words "love the house and the black".
.
It's just that no one expected that something unexpected would happen.

Luanjia only walked for five days according to the original plan, but because of the heavy rain since July, the roads and bridges along the way were severely washed out, and he could not continue on the road. As a result, the emperor had to return to Beijing on July [-].

The meeting with Xiao Qi has to be postponed for a few more days.

The emperor specially came to comfort Wanxi in his busy schedule, and said in a low voice, "Originally, the master had calculated the date, and the [-]th day of July would be in time for us to celebrate Liansheng's birthday... But this time I turned around and returned to Beijing, this is a big deal." It must be too late!"

Wanxi smiled and said, "It is said that good things take a long time. Liansheng is our own daughter. What does it matter if we meet each other sooner or later? I am worried for Daqing Jiangshan and my master—— Didn’t the lord make a plan that during the fall of this year, the chieftains and chiefs of the Torghut Ministry called Donggui will meet at the Summer Resort?”

"Think about the fact that the leader of the Turhu Special Department ran westward because of dissatisfaction with Junggar... This child has been away from home for more than 100 years. It is time for the lost child to find the way home. This achievement of the Lord is the only one. It’s forever in history.”

Wanxi clasped the emperor's hands together, "Compared with our meeting with Xiaoqi, the meeting with the Turhu special forces after a hundred years is the most important thing. Don't worry, I Don’t be in a hurry, and don’t be in a hurry either. All good things take their time, but there are more twists and turns in the front, which foretells that the big things in the future will definitely come to fruition and will come naturally.”

After Jiao Wanxi said this, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief.Like a child, he stretched out his arms and hugged Wanxi, resting his head on Wanxi's shoulder.

"...I just let you say that, and the master is also relieved. You don't know, this time Qiu Yu has to come back. Is it the first time in the 36 years since the master became the throne? The master is very depressed. "

"I'm also worried. This is a bad omen. Turghut's return to the east. For such a big matter, I have to take care of Eros and discuss how to resettle the nomadic land of tens of thousands of Torghut households." And livelihood... I am really worried that these things that have been carefully prepared for a long time will be blocked in the middle, and they will die like this."

Wanxi also nodded, "I heard Concubine Yu and Concubine Rong tell the story of Torghut. I am also worried that if Torghut wants to return to the east, Eros will do his best to stop it. There must be a series of bloody battles... Also, please make preparations early, and let the Yili garrison come to rescue early."

The emperor held Wanxi's hand, "That's for sure."

The two stopped talking and hugged each other.The surroundings are quiet, only the heartbeat of each other can be heard.

They all know that this will be an important moment in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and even an eternally kind point in the history of China as a whole.

How lucky they are to be able to welcome this moment together; but both of them are also equally nervous, because the more shining the moment, the more effort and careful arrangements are required to make everything go smoothly.
.
In Beijing, it was postponed for another nine days. On July 22, the emperor once again honored the empress dowager from Yuanmingyuan.

On the same day, the emperor issued a decree, saying that when the minister of affairs, Shu Hede, saw the Turghut people crossing the river with his own eyes, "their poverty is really sympathetic."The emperor said: "Turhut and others came from Russia with their wives and sons, and they are extremely embarrassed. If you don't pay more attention to compensation, you may starve to death, I really can't bear it."

The emperor issued a decree to send Nengchen Wenshou to use 20 taels of official silver transported to Anxi and other places to go to Hami, Turpan and other sheep-producing places to buy the breeding sheep and distribute them evenly.

Later, 20 taels of silver were allocated from Gansu Daoku to Urumqi and other places for further relief.

Later, because the Turghut people surrendered to the crowd and had no protection against the cold, another [-] to [-] leather coats were allocated.

When Wanxi heard about it, she was very pleased.With Concubine Ying, Concubine Yu and other concubines from Mongolia, they all saved a portion of their annual bills, and ordered the needlewomen under their positions to rush to make some small clothes and gowns for their children. , to the west.

——Wanxi is just worried, because there are so many people giving relief this time, the ministers are so busy that they may not care about the children's clothes.
.
On July 26, Shengjia finally arrived at the Summer Resort.

Xiaoqi had been waiting outside the gate of the Great Palace early, seeing the emperor and Wanxi, she was inevitably moved by miss, threw herself into her arms and shed tears.

Wanxi stroked her daughter's hair, and asked first, "Is everything about your mother-in-law handled properly?"

Xiaoqi nodded with tears in her eyes, "father-in-law did it himself, and it was all done when I went. With father-in-law personally handling it, everything is in order. The only thing my daughter is worried about: father-in-law is already sick, because Mother-in-law passed away, father-in-law's heart was heavy, and his illness became heavier."

Wanxi also sighed, "Your father-in-law, Prince Cheng Gun Zhabu, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his body is not comparable to ordinary people. Your mother-in-law passed away, and you have been married for many years. It is inevitable that Prince Cheng Gun Zhabu will feel uncomfortable. But believe me After Prince Chenggong Zhabu is sad, his body can also recover."

Xiao Qi choked up and said, "... Father-in-law said, before my mother-in-law died, the thing I couldn't let go of was the persimmons I sent from the capital."

"Ernie, it's all because of my daughter's unfilial piety. I didn't come earlier to visit her mother-in-law in the nomadic area of ​​Mobei. If she can serve her by her side and serve soup herself, her daughter will feel better now."

Wanxi embraced her daughter, her eyes were red, "But she is also a blessed person. Although she has gone now, she will come to Beijing in person in July to watch your wedding with Lawang; , she was also present, and I had a drink with her."

"Lawang is her youngest son, and her life expectancy is already high; but she was lucky enough to see Lawang marrying you with her own eyes, so she just let go, and she is considered blessed and satisfied."

In a person's life, who doesn't have a day when the deadline comes and he lets go?

So the key is not inherent mortality, but what kind of mentality you have when you leave this world.

Do you leave with satisfaction like Lawang's mother, or leave with resentment, wish and regret that will never be satisfied~~
Xiao Qi also nodded sensiblely, "Ene is right. After all, it's a happy birthday for my mother-in-law to go."

Wanxi raised her eyes and looked behind Xiaoqi, "Did Lawang come back with you?"

Xiao Qi said with tears in his eyes, "My father-in-law is not in good health, I can't accompany him to serve in Uliasutai, so naturally I have to ask Wangwang to go."

Wanxi hugged her daughter tightly, "Good boy. Your father-in-law has liked you since he was a child, and he would never blame you for not being able to serve by his side. He is still sick, and he has to go to the boundary to greet you and salute you... It shows that your father-in-law's heart for you is no less than that of your Huang Ama and me."

"So your father-in-law will never pick on you. As long as you are well, he will be happy. Therefore, although you failed to follow this time, your father-in-law understands in his heart."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and comforted each other for a long time before Wanxi asked again: "Have you ever coughed in the past three months in Mobei?"

Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Ernie, my daughter is fine. Huang Ama has made thorough arrangements, and Lord Melason is also cautious in everything, so my daughter has taken care of her food and clothing. Besides, when her daughter went north, she was already When the spring is warm, the ice and snow melt along the way, and the water vapor is full, so it is not dry."

"Besides, Tamir City, where my in-laws' home is located, is a place with abundant water and grass, so it was chosen by his family as a nomadic place..."

When Wanxi heard the last sentence, she also smiled with relief, "I heard that Wangwang's family is not only rich in water and grass, but also very rich~~"

Xiao Qi blushed, "My daughter has also heard about it in private. How can their father and son, brothers, uncles and nephews count on the imperial court's salary? His family is in Prince Chaoyong's Mansion in Beijing. Every year, the money and money that is paid in tribute from the banner Items are dozens of times the imperial salary..."

Wanxi shook her daughter's hand with a smile, "Lawang is the son of Prince Chaoyong, and in the future, Prince Zasak and Prince Shuo will be in the flat silk flag. Everything in the flag belongs to your young couple~~ You have your own princess Every year, your Huang Ama will allocate money and food for you from the Ministry of Internal Affairs; your Huang Ama also gave you so many pawnshops in Beijing, and all of them make money. In addition to the tribute in the flag, you The future of the young couple is beautiful."

Xiao Qi blushed, "Ernie, look at what you said... Wang Wang is the youngest of the brothers, and he has six older brothers. Even some of them died, but they all left behind their nephews."

"Even if Lawang can inherit Prince Chaoyong in the future, but he will always distribute all the family property in the banner to his brothers and nephews, how can everything be Wangwang~"
.
The words were still ringing in my ears, on August [-]th, just after celebrating the emperor's longevity and Mid-Autumn Festival at the Summer Resort, news came from the north that Cheng Gun Zhabu was seriously ill.

The emperor hastily issued an order, ordering his son-in-law, Lavandorji and Delek Dorje, to take the medical doctor Sha Chengxi with them, and go to the post for a consultation.

But despite the emperor's concern, Lord Cheng Gun Zhabu received the news the next day that Cheng Gun Zhabu had passed away on August [-]th.

The emperor issued an order on August 21st to reward 1000 taels of silver for the funeral of Prince Chenggun Zhabu.

With Cheng Gun Zhabu's status and his achievements in pacifying Junggar back then, if the emperor followed the example of the former Ninth Lord Fu Heng and Lord Zhaohui, he would try his best to express his grief in the decree.

But this time, the emperor's decree didn't have so much content regarding the death of Prince Chenggun Zhabu.

How could the emperor not grieve when the country lost its great general?Moreover, it was the time when Torghut was returning to the east, and Eros must have made some moves. As the left deputy general of Dingbian, Prince Chenggunzabu was stationed in Uliasutai personally, just to watch the movement of Eros in the north. .

The death of Prince Chenggong Zhabu is like losing the north gate of the country.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor not to be heartbroken.The reason why the emperor's decree is simple and clear is because the emperor's thoughts are more behind, on Lawang.

Because the emperor immediately issued a decree: "Forehead son-in-law Lavandorje is the son of the eldest son, and all the princes of Zasak and Shuo will be inherited by Lavandorji."

This almost made Lawang inherit the Prince's title quickly, and he refused to delay even a day.This speed is rare no matter in the succession of the clan or the princes of foreign vassals.

That is, after Master Jiu passed away, the emperor ordered his eldest son, Fu Long'an, to inherit the First Class Loyal and Brave Duke. It was only a few days after Master Jiu died of illness that he decreed to approve the succession. How could it be so fast like Lawang.

It's not over yet, and on the same day, the emperor couldn't hold back anymore, and directly made a decree, asking Prince Cheng Gunzabu about the distribution of the family property.

"Cheng Gun Zhabu is in Japan. I don't know if he has analyzed the property with the other sons? If you haven't analyzed it yet, you must send it quickly so that Yi and others can live."

The prince of the foreign vassal had just passed away, and the emperor personally issued an edict to directly intervene in the division of the family property... This is probably the first time the emperor has been in power for 36 years, and the military ministers are a little bit amused.
