Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 903 The Voice
Seeing that Cao Yong was stunned, frowning and saying nothing, Elder Sixteen still thought he was worried about the situation in Fujian, and said: "There are no flowers in such a small place, Fu Ruo doesn't have to worry."

Cao Yong dabbled in Qing history in his previous life, except for the knowledge in textbooks, it was those of film and television dramas.

I have no impression of Zhu Yigui's rebellion.But this Zhu is the surname of the Ming royal family, which made Cao Yong think a lot.

"Zhu? Could it be that he is a descendant of the former emperor?" Cao Yong thought of the words "anti-Qing and restoring Ming" in his mind: "I hope Fujian will be peaceful, otherwise it will be the common people who will suffer."

Elder Sixteen snorted coldly, and said, "It's just a mud leg, from Changtai in southern Fujian, who went to Taiwan to plan food and make trouble." Speaking of this, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth: "The most hateful thing is Wang Zhen, the prefect of Taiwan, who doesn't care about the people. Scratching the land, making the people miserable, otherwise the people would not blindly follow the thieves to cause chaos. After this incident, they, the officials, abandoned the island and hid, leaving Taiwan to the thieves to cause chaos. If not, there would be no trouble It's getting out of hand."

Hearing this, Cao Yong knew that this time it was not just "rebellion", but the whole of Taiwan had fallen.

No wonder Kangxi had to be cautious. After all, it was different from the fact that thousands of people from the Henan government went into the mountains to tear down the flag.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan do not have much sense of belonging to the imperial court.It has only been more than 30 years since Shi Lang took over Taiwan. If there is chaos, it will be no wonder that the imperial court can feel at ease.

Even Cao Yong felt a little heavy in his heart.

Taiwan is too close to the Eastern Ocean and the Southern Ocean, and the Western Ocean has colonies in the South Ocean. If foreign powers take this opportunity to intervene and fight against each other, it is unknown how many people will die.

The reason why the imperial court considered negotiating peace with Zhungeer was that apart from the lack of finances, it was worried that Russia, which was eyeing the tiger, would send troops.The Mongols have borrowed troops from Russia. There is a precedent for this, so we have to guard against it.

"Are there Japanese pirates mixing with foreigners?" Cao Yong asked.

"Japanese pirates? Foreigners?" Elder Sixteen shook his head and said, "The Japanese pirates don't know, and there should be no foreigners. If there are foreigners, they must ask for guns and artillery, and the other side dare not report them. But this booklet makes it clear Zhu Yigui and the others cut bamboo into sharp spears, first occupied the mountain as king, and then fought two battles with the officers and soldiers. They almost killed the generals, deputy generals, guerrillas, and generals with official positions, and scared all the local civil and military officials to flee. .”

Taiwan is different from Zhungeer. The Fujian Navy has tens of thousands of troops and is separated by a strait. It is no longer considered a natural danger.Unless the Qing army can't win in three or five years, let Zhu Yigui gain a firm foothold, and then attract foreign aid or something, it will be worrying.

However, this "responsibility for losing land" is a capital offense.There is no need for Kangxi to worry. The governors of Fujian and Zhejiang and the admirals of Fujian have decided to prepare for the attack on Taiwan and wait for the imperial court's order.

Cao Yong knew that the relief bills he had spent several nights should not be used.No matter how optimistic the fourth elder brother was, he would not dare to touch Kangxi at this time.

The civil unrest in Taiwan is still a secret of the court.Elder brother Sixteen must not ask Cao Yong again to keep it secret.

Cao Yong readily agreed, he is not a gossip, and this "rebellion" has always been taboo by the court, if he bears the crime of "spreading rumors and making trouble", he will be regarded as ulterior motives.

This day, the south and the north are separated by tens of millions of miles. Except for the imperial palace newspaper, folk news can't get to the north for a while...

Sure enough, the imperial court kept the military newspaper in Fujian a secret, and not many people knew about it.Therefore, in Rehe in June, there are singing and dancing everywhere.

Various tribes of Mongolia came to the court one after another. Baoya, who had not seen Cao Yong and his wife for several years, also came to Rehe with her husband.

This time besides her eldest son Arslen, she also has her three-year-old second son Batu.Arslen was already nine years old, so he seemed like an adult.

I don't know what happened when he was a child, but he remembered it, or listened to Bao Ya's narration, and prepared a gift for his "Anda" in a serious manner; hearing that she didn't come, the little guy must be a little disappointed.

After all, he doesn't like to stay in the house when he's old, and after greeting Chuyu, he goes out to play
Baoya still loves to laugh, and her voice is bright and cheerful.

Chu Yu just heard that she had given birth to a young son, and this was the first time she saw it, and it was extremely rare.

"Planting flowers?" Chu Yu asked Bao Ya in a low voice, holding Batu in her arms.

Mongols have no resistance to smallpox virus, so the "human pox" epidemic these years, few Mongolian princes dared to take the initiative to vaccinate.

But Baoya was different. Naersu felt sorry for his younger sister. After getting the "vaccinia" prescription from Cao's family, besides his own little elder brothers, he also enlisted a confidant to learn from Baoya outside the pass.

Arslen was vaccinated with "vaccinia" when he was a child, but it was only "human pox" that was publicized to the outside world.

Baoya's husband was afraid that his son-in-law would not be able to survive, so he refused to let her grow. Later, after being persuaded by the concubine, she agreed to let her grow.

After listening to Chuyu's words, Baoya nodded and said, "It's gone, if not, how dare you bring him out?"

Chuyu recalled what Baoya said a few years ago, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say there is only one? You still miss your daughter?"

Bao Ya smiled and said: "That's right, I'm looking forward to a daughter. When I was pregnant with him, I was hot and lethargic. Everyone said that I was a daughter. I even made a dowry list for my daughter. This is another son."

"Hi son, Arslen is accompanied by his own brother, so he will not be lonely in the future." Chu Yu said.

"He can't be deserted, and now our palace is called lively." Bao Ya had a half-smile on her face, and told her to hug Batu down.

Seeing that she had something to say, Chu Yu also sent Le Chun to leave with her maid.

Bao Ya's eyes were shining, she stretched out her hand to grab Chu Yu's hand, and said with a smile, "God, keep your eyes open!"

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Chu Yu smiled and said, "What's the matter, tell me quickly?"

Bao Ya said with a smile: "I shouldn't have told you about these messy things, but I gloat so much that I've kept them in my heart for a long time."

Chu Yu listened quietly, and saw her puff up her chest and said, "It's not that I'm vicious, you know me too, I'm not the kind who cries and snatches men from others. It's just that she plotted against the little lion, but suffered retribution for herself, It's really refreshing." At the end of the speech, he already had a serious expression.

Hearing these words, Chu Yu was terrified.

Baoya is the clan Gege who was appointed by the imperial court, and the little lion is the son of the county prince's mansion. Some people here dare to plot, which shows how difficult Baoya's situation is.

It turned out that the Mongolian concubine had no good intentions when she encouraged the county king to agree to let the little lion be "vaccinated".If the little lion dies, her son will have the opportunity to inherit the palace as the eldest son; if the little lion is fine, her son can also be "vaccinated" and will not be afraid of smallpox in the future.

No, the little lion planted "vaccinia", which is much weaker than "human pox" and not dangerous.After the concubine on the other side asked the prince to find a doctor and "vaccinate" her son, the attack was fierce and she didn't survive it.

"How many Mongolians dare to 'vaccinate'? She still has selfish intentions, thinking that if her son doesn't 'vaccinate', she won't be able to meet with the prince in Rehe, and she will never be on stage." Baoya raised her lips and said : "After that, he dominated the prince and wanted to have another son, but he failed to conceive for three years. I joined in the fun, picked a few female slaves for the prince, and got pregnant with Batu again. She was so angry that she was half dead."

Baoya has always been free and easy, but this is the first time Chuyu sees her mentioning family matters.

For a while, Chu Yu didn't know how to persuade him, and after a while he said, "Little Lion is a good boy, and Batu is also good, you are a blessed..."

After Baoya said this, it seemed as if she had relieved her depression in her heart, she let out a long breath, and said: "I can't bear others to plot against the little lion, so I just mixed it up boringly... There are a few good things about men, and they are not greedy. There are a lot of sex lovers? What's the use of that housekeeper who has been pampering him alone for more than ten years? In the past few years, we have added several children to the house."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Chuyu and said: "You also have to learn a lesson. If Cao Yong falls in love with young and beautiful people in the future, not only don't stop him, but also add some outstanding ones to coax him. Man It’s all like this, it’s fun to try something new once in a while, and if you let him eat something new, he’ll get tired of it.”

Chu Yu was still listening before, but then she talked about herself, and she changed the subject: "This time, can you stay longer? The elder brother of Prince Ping's mansion is also a follower this year, and he lives with a few little emperor uncles to avoid the summer heat. In the villa. He is [-] years old this year, and he is about to marry a wife. According to our aunt, this year's draft may show the elder brother a wife."

"Fupeng is here too?" Baoya heard this news for the first time, her expression was a little excited, and her voice was choked up: "When I left Beijing, he was not much older than Batu..."

When she mentioned her eldest nephew, she couldn't sit still, she stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to pass the sign to the ladies, if only I could see Fu Peng soon...

"What's the rush? If you want to see Big Brother, you may not have to go to the palace. A few days ago, Big Brother came here with Uncle Sixteen. Let our master ask Uncle Sixteen for help. Isn't it much cheaper for eldest brother to bring you out to meet you than to meet you in the palace?" Seeing her anxious, Chu Yu said thoughtfully.

After Baoya heard this, she had to ask a few more questions about how tall the elder brother is, how his homework is, and whether he was bullied in the palace...

*
Outside the palace, the official office.

Although Cao Yong's relief clause was rejected, the relief of the northern provinces had to be carried out.

Therefore, the officials of the household department are also busy.The fourth elder brother rested for three days due to "illness", and then returned to the household department. When he saw Cao Yong, he did not mention the Chen matter.

It's just that he really lost weight.

I heard from the sixteenth elder brother that the fourth elder brother is really sick, "exogenous pathogenic wind evil".Cao Yong thought about it, it might be related to the drunkenness that night.The weather in Rehe is cool in the morning and evening, and it is enough for people to sweat and catch cold after drinking.

After all, the fourth elder brother is already a five-year-old.

It has long been rumored that the emperor will bring the prince back to Beijing in June.Because there are too many elder princes accompanying the prince this year, only the fifth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother are left in the capital.

The fifth elder brother has never interfered in political affairs, the twelfth elder brother has limited ability, the thirteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother are old patients, although they have recovered from their illnesses, their bones are not too strong, so they can't work too hard.

Cao Yong thought that Kangxi either sent the third elder brother or the fourth elder brother back. These two are the princes of the palm department.

Unexpectedly, on the seventh day of June, the candidates who returned to Beijing were selected, but it was beyond Cao Yong's expectations.

The ones who were sent back to the capital as errands turned out to be the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.

The ninth elder brother ordered the Ministry of Industry, and the tenth elder brother ordered the Ministry of War.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother made good friends with the fourteenth elder brother in the northwest. After the eighth elder brother passed away, these two had been classified into the "Fourteenth Party".Therefore, when Kangxi's deployment fell into the eyes of those who are interested, it is necessary to speculate.

All of a sudden, the fourteenth elder brother's voice became louder and louder.

Even Concubine De and Concubine Yi, who came here with their retinue, also heard the commotion outside, and there was no more open and secret fighting as usual, and they became close to each other.

For the sake of her sons, Concubine De let go of old grievances and pretended to be magnanimous; Concubine Yi was in a bad situation and made plans early for the future of her sons.

If it is true, these two people have been stalemate in the harem for decades, and it would be nonsense to talk about laughing at each other.

Concubine De is okay, she feels that her son is up to date, and she just waits to enjoy the blessings of her younger son in the future; Concubine Yi is flattering in front of others, and curses in private.

Ranking in the harem, she has always been in front of the concubine De and gave birth to two sons.Why can others go for the "Queen Dowager", but I can only get a "Toffee Concubine"?
She burns incense three times a day, and what she mutters in her heart, besides looking forward to Kangxi's longevity, is to pray that the fourteenth elder brother will not be allowed to be in the reserve position.Even if it's not her son who inherits the throne, it's better not to be Concubine De, otherwise it's really hard to swallow this bad breath.

Concubine De didn't know that Concubine Yi was flattering her on the surface, she was gnashing her teeth in private, and she wanted to win Guo Luoluo's family over for her son. , the position of the emperor's grandson side Fujin cannot be escaped.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi felt more and more hatred in her heart, she had to say "Thank you sister for your help", "Trouble sister for your concern" and so on.

It was no secret that Concubine De wanted to refer her natal family to her grandson Hongming.Concubine Yi has also seen those two girls from Wu Ya's family.

Seeing Concubine De's complacency, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "The family of my nephews really has a few outstanding grandnieces, but they are still young, and this year's draft may not be able to catch up. But it's nothing, Hongming can't catch up , and Hongying. Hongying is also fourteen or five years old, and if he is not elected this year, it will be almost the same in three years."

Hongying and Hongming were born of the same mother, and they are also the direct sons of the fourteenth elder brother.

Concubine De just said something decent to Concubine Yi, but she regretted it after she said it.Her family background is lower than that of Guo Luoluo's family, if her grandniece and Yifei's grandniece are pointed out to Hongming at the same time, it must be that Yifei's grandniece is of higher status.

Hearing Concubine Yi mention Hong Ying, she hastily echoed: "Yes, even if Hong Ying is pointed out this year, it is only a concubine who will get married three years later."

Concubine Yi snorted coldly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she lowered her voice, and said: "Sister, although the Fourteen Fortunes are virtuous, who doesn't know that the fourteenth elder brother values ​​the one outside the palace? How old is the Fourteenth Master?" , if that one has a son in the future, the mother will be more expensive than the child. Sister, why don't we also prepare a gift for that one..."

This is about the Fourteenth Elder Brother's foreign residence, the Wu Family, De Concubine couldn't help but gloomy.

Knowing the son is more like the mother, the son's temper is the most self-willed and arbitrary, if he really dotes on the Wu family in the future...then Hong Ming's identity as the legitimate son will become embarrassing...
