Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 58
Kangxi fell into deep thought as he looked at the letter of application submitted by the fourth elder brother.In the excerpt, the crown prince is mentioned first, followed by the Eight Banners Zuo Ling and the fourth elder brother himself, then Ling Zhu, and finally the Eight Banners elite.Kangxi tapped the table lightly with his fingers. The order of asking for merit is a bit tricky. Kangxi actually knows exactly what the prince has done. In the booklet that was posted separately, the crown prince was also given the head work.Is it Yinzhen's generous brotherhood or does he have other ideas?Kangxi couldn't help rubbing his temples, lamenting that none of these sons made him worry. "Report to the emperor, Lord Wudan asks for the face saint." The servant reported respectfully.

"Let him in!" Kangxi said lightly.Kangxi remembered that he asked Wu Dan to investigate Ling Zhu, and it seemed that there was a result.After Wu Dan came in, he quickly kowtowed to Kangxi and said, "My servant Wu Dan has seen Long Live."

"Get up and answer, what happened to what I asked you to do?"

Wu Dan said respectfully and rigorously, "The slave carefully investigated Master Ling Zhu according to the emperor's order, and found that there was nothing wrong with Master Ling Zhu. Although the elder brothers all expressed their appreciation for Master Ling Zhu, Master Ling Zhu said that he is ignorant and ignorant. I can't afford the praise of my elder brothers, and I firmly expressed my desire to only obey the emperor's orders. The slave also found out that Master Ling Zhu had rescued Yang Kang and recommended Yang Kang to Fu Cha Guangjin, but since Master Yang Kang came to the emperor's side as an errand I have never had any private contact with Master Yang Kang again. Master Ling Zhu not only has a lot of novel ideas, but also has a strong ability to train soldiers and bravery, and he also has some methods."

Kangxi asked, "Is it just these? Is there anything else?"

"No, the servant only found out these things. Master Ling Zhu's family is simple. There is only one cousin named Ling Cheng who works in the official department. It's just that their relationship has been very bad recently." Wu Dan thought for a while and said, after all, eight people were involved Brother, he is still very cautious.

Kangxi knew that Ling Cheng and the eighth elder brother were very close, and Kangxi believed that Ling Zhu still had the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, otherwise he would not have come up with the idea of ​​this military parade.It seems that this Ling Zhu is a loyal and talented person, and he can be of great use. "I see, you can kneel down first, but the investigation department should always pay attention to the movements of the princes, and notify me immediately if there is anything."

Wu Dan felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but resolutely assured him, "Slaves only respect the holy decree!"

Kangxi stood up and walked a few steps in the main hall. Kangxi really hoped that the bloodiness evoked by the elite of the Eight Banners during the military parade could be maintained for a long time, so that the children of the Eight Banners could get rid of decadence and corruption. Therefore, these meritorious people must be respected. reward.Kangxi returned to the table and quickly gave instructions, and ordered the servant, "Tell the upper study room to draw the paper quickly, and then ask Yang Kang to come to see me." "Yes, the servant will do it right away." The servant replied quickly.

Kangxi looked at the handsome Yang Kang and nodded in satisfaction, "I called you this time just to ask you what you think about the military parade?"

Yang Kang said solemnly, "If you go back to the emperor, the slave completely agrees with what the fourth elder brother said. What the fourth elder brother said is what the slave wants to say, but if the slave says it, it may not be as good as the fourth elder brother."

"I admire and value you very much, not only because of your background, but more importantly because of your strategy and military talent. Now that the Qing Dynasty is surrounded by unstable countries, military parades alone cannot deter their wolfish ambitions. So now is the time for employing people. Now, I will give you some soldiers, can you train them into elites?"

Yang Kang knelt down on one knee and swore, "Please rest assured, your majesty, the slaves will definitely train them to become elites who can shake the world."

Kangxi looked at Yang Kang and said with satisfaction, "Okay, very good, I believe in you, and I hope you don't let me down. Do you want me to order you to return to the sect?"

"I would like to thank the emperor for your kindness, but I want to use my own efforts to gain Ama's approval, and I want to return to the clan with my own ability, so that I can justify my slave's sacrifice."

Kangxi admired the blood and tenacity of Yang Kang, otherwise he would not have trusted him so much, "I heard that Ling Zhu saved your life? Now you are considered promising, why don't you go to your rescue?" How about repaying the benefactor?"

Mentioning Ling Zhu, Yang Kang naturally thought of Qi Luo. In fact, Yang Kang saw the beautifully dressed Qi Luo at the military parade that day, but because of his duties, he didn't talk to Qi Luo. The most important thing is that Yang Kang didn't want Qi Luo Luo gets too much attention from others.Kangxi looked at Yang Kang, who was obviously stunned, and couldn't help coughing, and Yang Kang hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Damn the slave! The emperor just mentioned the matter of repaying the favor, and the slave thought that if there was no Lord Ling Zhu at that time, the slave might have died long ago. Master Ling Zhu is not only for the slave. The grace of saving lives is also the grace of recommendation. Master Ling Zhu’s family has helped me a lot. This servant will never forget the kindness of Master Ling Zhu’s family in this life. The reason why the slave did not contact Master Ling Zhu is because the slave has received such a favor from the emperor. Favor is already very eye-catching, I really don't want to bring trouble to Master Ling Zhu's family, besides, I just want to do my best for the emperor now, as for the matter of repaying favor, I will arrange it after I return to the clan."

"Okay, Yang Kang, you really didn't live up to my hopes. Don't worry, Ling Zhu not only came up with a good idea but also saved you. I won't treat him badly."

Yang Kang hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor and said, "I thank the emperor for his grace! This servant is willing to die for the emperor!" Kangxi patted Yang Kang on the shoulder in satisfaction.Yang Kang knew that he was one step closer to his goal. Ling Zhu would definitely gain the emperor's respect this time, so when Qi Luo was drafted, the emperor would definitely point Qi Luo to him as his wife based on his relationship with Ling Zhu's family. .

Due to the complete success of the military parade, Ling Zhu's family also had a lot of celebration.Knowing that Ling Zhu's promotion is imminent, there are a lot of people visiting her now.Although Mrs. Dong is impatient to deal with these individuals, she is still very proud of her husband's achievements as a wife after all, and this is a good opportunity for Mrs. Dong to integrate into the social circle of the capital, so Mrs. Dong patiently dealt with the visits ladies.Mrs. Dong often complained secretly to Qi Luo, "I didn't expect that in ancient times, there was also a wife's diplomacy." Ling Zhu is a cautious person, and he will never offend anyone easily, so those lobbyists who visit and woo will always hit a soft wall. I lose my temper.After returning home, Ling Zhu saw his wife and daughter who were playing with Qiuqiu very leisurely, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you come over today?"

"Maybe those princes have figured it out. They know that you won't rely on anyone, Ama, so they don't waste time with you. Why do I hear Ama's tone as if she is expecting someone to come?" Qi Luo replied holding the ball.

Ling Zhu supported his head and said, "Why, I just feel a little strange that it's so quiet today. I wish they wouldn't all come? Do you think it's easy to deal with them? How many brain cells would it cost me! Slow down when you're with them I will be caught in it, and I can't offend them, or I don't know what will happen?"

"This is also a training for you. Human potential is infinite. Look at Ama, Erniang, don't you grow a lot now when you deal with this situation? Qiuqiu, is your sister right?" Qi Jue listened Then he said to Qi Luo twice, as long as Qi Luo asked questions, Qi Jue would answer ah ah, Ling Zhu's family was already immune to this.

Butler Qin ran in from the outside, and said loudly in a hurry, "My lord, my lord has an imperial edict, there is an imperial edict!"

Ling Zhu panicked and said, "What? An imperial decree? Is it really an imperial edict?" This is not to blame for Ling Zhu because he has never received an imperial edict, and it is too sudden.Qin Butler said affirmatively, "Yes, the master really has an imperial decree, and the person who delivered the decree is still outside?"

Seeing his father who was in a daze, Qi Luo hurriedly said based on his previous experience in reading books, "Then Steward Qin, quickly ask someone to set up the incense table, and quickly invite the messenger to come in." Only then did Ling Zhu react, and quickly directed the people to get busy.

When everything was ready, Ling Zhu's family knelt down to listen to the decree. The servant who delivered the decree opened the decree and began to read it in a shrill voice. The decree was all in classical Chinese. Although Ling Zhu had improved a lot in ancient Chinese, it was still a little difficult to hear.Although Qi Luo knew ancient Chinese, the servant's voice was too piercing. Qi Luo knew that the most important thing in the imperial decree was often the last few words.After the edict was finished, Qi Luo realized that his father was rewarded as a first-class baron by the emperor because of his idea, and he was also awarded a double salary, but the official position was not promoted and he was still a fourth-rank ceremonial ceremony.Seeing his father in a daze, Qi Luo quickly pulled him, Ling Zhu suddenly woke up and said, "Thank you Lord Long En, long live long live long live!" He respectfully accepted the imperial edict before standing up.

The servant said with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Lord Ling Zhu. Your Majesty values ​​Lord Ling Zhu so much. His future is sure to be limitless in the future."

Ling Zhu hurriedly said humbly, "It's your good word, it's your good word!" Then he handed over the bank note to the waiter, who took it with a smile and glanced at the amount on the bank note, and couldn't help laughing even more happily.Ling Zhu sent the servant away, came to the room, and saw Qi Luo holding the imperial decree and looking at it carefully, Qin Butler also said excitedly, "Congratulations to the master from the slave! Congratulations to the master from the slave! The master is now a baron, this is really true!" What a blessing!"

Ling Zhu pulled Butler Qin up and said, "Didn't I tell you, this is in my own home, don't kneel down every now and then. There is a happy event today, you go and inform everyone that you will be given double wages this month, so that everyone will be happy!" "

"My servant will take everyone to thank you for your kindness!" Butler Qin knew that Ling Zhu's family must have something to whisper at this time, so he went out.

Ling Zhu looked at Qi Luo who was still studying the imperial decree, and said excitedly, "Ama, you are not bad, now you are a baron. I didn't expect the emperor to reward me with such a high title. It's really a surprise."

Mrs. Dong had never seen Ling Zhu so happy, "Okay, we know you are capable, and we are proud of you,"

After studying the imperial decree, Qi Luo said happily, "It's really gratifying that Ama just rewarded her with a title and didn't promote her official position, so that Ama won't attract too much attention. This is very good, really good, after all, in this title There are many who are taller than Ama."

Ling Zhu squeezed Qi Luo's face angrily, "You can hit me, just watch. Your title, Ama, will be promoted again. Next time you will not only be promoted, but also be promoted. The one who will not be envied is Mediocre. As for the low-key issue you mentioned, I will pay attention to it, and we can’t be too low-key in this situation.” Qi Luo thought about what his father said was right, too low-key is not suitable for a father who is a little high-spirited now, "Ama, you still want to be promoted? What else are you going to do?"

Ling Zhu smiled mysteriously and said, "If I don't tell you now, you will know in the future. Now I want to stabilize first. After all, our foundation is still shallow, and it is not suitable for too much limelight."

Qi Luo knew that his father had fully grown up. After all, his father's experience and experience were there, so he was more transparent than himself in dealing with people. Now Qi Luo can rest assured that his father, a butterfly, can change history a little bit. The process doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Now I am gradually adding heavyweight characters, and the Kangxi princes have appeared one after another. It’s just that I don’t know if I can do a good job of describing these big scenes and complicated characters. Just wait for me to fill it in slowly.Fortunately, I uploaded the chapter on the military parade the day before November. Otherwise, when you see such a magnificent military parade in our motherland on November [-], you will definitely feel nondescript when you read my chapter.
