Qing court ladies

Chapter 51
"All the excerpts from the court have been delivered." Kangxi put down his ink brush, took a sip of kumiss, and then asked.

Hearing the sound, Su Yue saw that she was the only person in the tent except Kangxi, and hurriedly turned around and replied, "Long live Lord, all the brochures that arrived today have been submitted."

When Kangxi heard the words, he was silent for a while, "The ministers of the court and the central government have quite a lot of opinions on this alliance, but the documents submitted so far do not have much to say about the alliance. Su Yue, why do you say?"

Su Yue was taken aback for a moment, this matter is a foregone conclusion, so what's the point of talking too much.But seeing the meaning in Kangxi's words, there is something else.Su Yue thought hard for a long time before resigning herself to her fate and asked, "I don't understand, please tell me clearly."

Kangxi gave Su Yue a blank look, got up and walked to the bonfire, squatted down and casually picked up a wooden branch and poked the charcoal fire, "I have doubts about this matter, one thing: I don't want to say anything else, but the official in charge of the court actually said something about this matter." There are not many excerpts. Two things: I don’t want to think about it, and the excerpts are probably suppressed.”

Su Yue frowned, the court originally chose important documents to send, and since Kangxi was already in the Huimeng, the ones who knew this matter most clearly were Kangxi and the accompanying ministers, it was inappropriate for people in the court to talk about this matter, why did Kangxi There is a saying, "Long Live Lord, the servants don't think so. Now the people who know the alliance most clearly are the Long Live Lord and the accompanying ministers. People in the court don't understand it, so it's not appropriate to talk about it."

Kangxi got up, paced around in the tent, suddenly turned around and stared at Suyue, "You mean I'm overthinking it"

Su Yue looked at Kangxi whose eyebrows were stained with snow and carbon ash, and smiled and stepped forward to brush it away "I just mentioned a possibility, after all, I don't understand military affairs, so I definitely can't see it clearly than Long Live Lord, but it's also because I don't know I understand, I’m not in the middle of the game, so I can see the whole thing and have an extra meaning.”

Kangxi's face was gloomy, he dragged Suyue to the front of the curtain, raised the curtain, and stared at the night sky "Suyue, I'm tired"

Su Yue looked up at Kangxi in surprise, with complicated thoughts.Kangxi handles the memorials until the third watch every day, and has to go to court early in the morning, and has to go to the school for the prince's studies, riding and shooting. In these years, Su Yue has never heard Kangxi say that he is tired, but now why does he say such a thing?
"Long live God's alliance this time appeases the Khan kings of all tribes in the grassland, demonstrates the prestige of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor's magnanimity, and makes all the Khan kings surrender with sincerity. Long live God is indeed tired." Su Yue caressed the back of Kangxi's hand, comforting , but also off topic.

Kangxi bowed his head and smiled, forgetting to accept Suyue's favor, put down the curtain of the camp tent, walked slowly back with Suyue and said, "Suyue, you didn't participate much in this alliance, how come you know a lot?"

Su Yue's expression froze, and she replied with a wry smile, "Long Live Lord, although the maidservant didn't participate, but she has heard a lot, how could she not know, isn't she deaf and blind?"

Kangxi asked back, "When did you become clear-eyed?"

"." Su Yue had no words to refute, so she remained silent.

Kangxi looked at Suyue who was so choked that she couldn't speak, and smiled a little deeper, "Zizhu's matter has been found out, but I have to go back to the palace to deal with it."

Su Yue suddenly heard this matter, she couldn't react for a while, and then cowardly asked "Long Live Lord, what is going to do with it?" The matter of Qiu He and Qiu Xi was a thorn and pain in Su Yue's heart. Although Su Yue hated the assassination, these court ladies He Gu was just forced to do what he was suppressed by the power. Although they are hateful, they are also pitiful.

Kangxi looked at the reluctance between Suyue's eyebrows, and sighed secretly, "Suyue, if you can't bear it now, you will have endless troubles, and you will implicate more people next time. You can't be kind and harm your relatives."

Su Yue trembled all over, her face turned pale, if Su Yue hadn't listened to the advice and hadn't been wary of Qiu He, then Qiu Xi wouldn't have been innocently involved, now if it was because of Zizhu that she was harming someone close to her, Su Yue would absolutely refuse to " Long live Lord, Su Yue understands" I understand that there is a difference between closeness and closeness, and that people are selfish.

Kangxi naturally understands that Suyue can't bear it, but there are some trade-offs, Suyue must understand and understand.

On the second day, Tuxietu Khan and Zebzundambahu Tuktu were ordered to meet with him.It was passed on to the Khalkha tribe: "Today, Tuxietuhan and others will report all the major mistakes by themselves. When the big review is held, if they are punished with serious crimes, I will not bear it. You and the Seven Banners will be worthy of the victory. Heart?!" So blame him for his big mistake, forgive him for his feelings.On that day, 35 people, including Khalkha Khan and Taiji, went to court and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.Sit down in order, play music, and have a feast.During this period, Zhuhan and Dataiji were ordered to enter the imperial court, and Emperor Kangxi personally gave him wine, and everyone was very happy.

On the third day, Tuxietu Khan, Chechen Khan, Zebzundam Bahu Tuktu and Zasaktu Khan were rewarded with a thousand taels of silver each, fifteen pieces of satin each, and various items, as well as Jinong and Taiji. Waiting for silver.Today, 35 people including the three Khans were called to give a banquet, and let them express their opinions and talk together comfortably.Back to the strategy, Zhabu was young, and gave the prince the clothes and hats he wore.Khalkha Khan, Jinong Taiji, etc. were passed down: Seeing that Er et al. are so grateful to you, and have lived up to the grace of giving food, grass, livestock, and land, so Er et al. and Inner Mongolia 49 Banners were compiled and named together.Zhasak Tuhan was killed innocently, and the people in this department were extremely miserable and deeply sympathetic, so he ordered his younger brother Cewangzabu to be the Prince of Heshuo.Tuxietu Khan's eldest son Galdan Taiji and other seven people were granted the title of Duoluo County King, Chechen Khan's uncle, Taiji Chebuden and other two were named Dorobeile, and Gushan Beizi, Zhen Guogong and others were named.On the [-]th, Emperor Kangxi paraded the army of the Eight Banners.The officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners lined up in order, shouted their horns, fired shotguns in unison, and thundered in the valley.On the [-]th, I personally visited the Khalkha Mongolian camp, and rewarded the poor people with silver and cloth; ordered the northern general and Dutong Watai to lead more than a thousand officers and soldiers to Tula to find out the current situation of Galdan; Shangshu Alani and others compiled the banners of Khalkha Mongolia, divided them into collars, and delineated their nomadic lands.

Kangxi was scheduled to return to Beijing on the [-]th. On the evening of the [-]th, Kangxi held a banquet in the imperial tent to entertain the kings of all tribes.

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. I've been here for a long time. I'm very relieved. Today I'll have a good drink with you all. Let's do it." Kangxi laughed and picked up his wine glass.

"I thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." All the Khans toasted proudly and drank with Kangxi.

Kangxi put down his wine glass, stood up, walked to the imperial table and said, "This time I came to this alliance, and all items are suitable for the time, but I still have one thing on my mind, and I need your help."

Tushetuhan stood up, and said loudly, "No matter what happens, Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best and will not hesitate to die."

Kangxi laughed and stepped forward, patted Tuxietuhan on the shoulder, and praised, "This matter is not too big for you, and you don't need to die." I am in the same heart with you, but I can express my heart. I am afraid that Ge Erdan also expressed his heart for you. Now everyone is turning to the millions of heroes behind me. When the millions of heroes move, the food, grass and military salaries will inevitably go first. I mean it"

With Kangxi's words, everyone present became quiet immediately, each having their own thoughts.Kangxi was not in a hurry, he sat back and looked at you with a smile.

Chechen Khan got up before everyone else and saluted, "Your Majesty, I would like to offer 3 taels of gold." After saying that, all the Khan kings also stood up as if awakened, expressing their hearts.

Kangxi laughed and stood up, raised his glass, "On behalf of my millions of heroes, I would like to thank you King Khan for your kindness, please do it"

After this incident at the banquet, the atmosphere of the crowd was not as good as it was at the beginning, the banquet was dismissed hastily, and King Khan left one by one, and Kangxi sat at the head seat alone, laughing and drinking alone.

"Long live Lord has a big thing in his heart, why is he a little sad?" Su Yue watched after King Khan left, entered the big tent, and watched Li Dequan stand beside Kangxi with a bitter face, and Kangxi poured bowls of bowls and was busy serving. Before grabbing the wine bowl to comfort.

Kangxi still smiled happily, regardless of the wine bowl in his hand being snatched away, "Suyue, although this matter has been resolved on the surface, but Suyue, think deeply, after the battle last year, Galdan actually There is still so much money, the amount given by these Khan Kings is probably less than half of what Galdan asked for help. What's more, after receiving the money, but turning back, I am chilled, and I am afraid that they did not really turn back, then it is my There are no more internal and external troubles during the war.”

"The villain gathers for profit and avoids for profit. Now that Ge Erdan is attacking and killing like this, even if they accept it, they are afraid that Ge Erdan will be killed by a dog. Besides, after the last battle, the Mongolian ministries can understand it after thinking about it. The momentum of the Qing Dynasty is unstoppable, and Galdan's defeat is inevitable, not to mention the benevolence and righteousness of the Qing Dynasty, they have less worries about the future. Seeing that they are not stupid, they know how to choose." Su Yue presented Kangxi with the hangover soup that Li Dequan had handed over.

Kangxi gulped it all down, and then said, "Gerdan is treacherous, and his ambition is not dead. This is my serious problem. The various ministries in Mongolia are troubled. I am also afraid that Ge Erdan will take advantage of him. I am not at peace if Ge Erdan survives for a day. , he is dead, Mongolia is restless"

"When the Long Live Lord came to the throne at a young age, besides Oboi, there were three others. After the third wave, there was Taiwan. After Taiwan was taken over, Galdan's disaster happened. Forgive the slaves for talking. Governing the world is a series of repeated problems. , but Lord Long Live is wise, he will always handle it well, let’s settle it one by one." Su Yue changed Kangxi into a normal suit.

"Let's go horseback riding with me." Suddenly, Kangxi's eyes lit up, and he pulled Suyue to get up and rushed out, which was rare and willful.

Kangxi led Suyue to ride horses to hire the grassland, and Li Dequan led the guards to watch Kangxi and Suyue chat and laugh while riding the horses, wantonly and comfortably.

On the seventh day, he ordered to behead five people including Taiji Chegen from the Ujumqin tribe in Inner Mongolia who had defected to Galdan.

Today, Kangxi set off to return to Beijing, and said: In the past, the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, but our dynasty has favored Khalkha to prepare it, and the Great Wall will be stronger.

On the [-]th, arrived in the capital.After the Dolon Nuoer League, Khalkha Mongolia was completely subordinated to the Qing Dynasty.

Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion, Kangxi sat on the couch, Li Dequan accompanied him, and Zizhu knelt in front of the hall.

"Zizhu, our family is asking you, you trespassed in Dongnuan Pavilion and saw Aunt Suyue burn the booklets." Li Dequan looked at Kangxi who was drinking tea and reading the booklets, and asked.

Zizhu trembled all over, and replied with a pale and delicate face, "I have seen it before."

Li Dequan glanced at Kangxi, then asked, "Who can you tell this to?"
