The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 602 Misunderstanding
The matter of Tong Guogang's personal conquest of Galdan was a foregone conclusion, and the courtiers of the Manchu court were staring at his actions. After all, he was quite sensible, and within five days he submitted a letter of invitation to the emperor.

The emperor readily agreed and praised him as "my good minister and the loyalty of the Qing Dynasty", and even decreed: "Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei have a deep brotherhood. If brothers fight together, we will surely get twice the result with half the effort."

This purpose has brought Tong Guowei to the forefront.

He refused again and again, but was criticized by the courtiers that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was a vain minister.Some officials even asked: "In the past, when the emperor appointed the imperial concubine as his queen, he was so attentive to you. Why do you refuse in every possible way when he asks you to help his elder brother go to war? This will betray the emperor's trust in you."

Such arguments forced him into an arrow on the bowstring, and he had no choice but to shoot when his energy was fully charged.

On June 29, the 29th year of Kangxi, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, the ministers of the interior, were proposed to conquer the Junggar tribe, and on July [-] they sent troops to the Inner Mongolia Society and the front line.

At this time, Galdan had already entered the Mongolian region, and the emperor made up his mind to gather all kinds of troops in the Mongolian region, intending to encircle and wipe out the Galdan army.

On this day, Zhuo Lan got more than a dozen blood swallows that were transported to the palace in a hurry from Hangzhou. Seeing that the color was an extremely rare and excellent product, she personally cooked a bowl of thick and smooth bird's nest, thinking of feeding it to the emperor.

When he came, the emperor was resting after finishing his political work, and when he saw Zhuo Lan coming, his exhausted expression disappeared, and he changed his smile and waved to her: "You are here."

Zhuo Lan looked at the emperor with eyes full of smiles, and after she put her fingers together, she winked at Yuanyuan who was carrying a food box behind her.

Yuanyuan understood, opened the food box and put the still steaming bird's nest beside the emperor's table, saying: "My hometown sent an excellent blood swallow, and the concubine Jia made a bowl of bird's nest for the emperor. The emperor will taste it."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yuanyuan, and said, "Are you the servant girl that Concubine Jia said she grew up with?"

Yuanyuan nodded, and knelt down to bow to the emperor: "It's the slave girl. The slave girl thanked the emperor for his help, and allowed the slave girl to enter the palace to serve the master."

"Get up." The emperor raised his hand and ordered her to flatten her body: "This is a matter that is against the rules. It is all the imperial concubine's intention to decide for you. You and your master should thank the imperial concubine for her compassion."

"I have already brought Yuanyuan to kneel down to thank the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is considerate of us, and the concubine is very grateful. My father sent more than ten cups of blood swallows. Except for the emperor's choice of two for the emperor, the rest All the concubines were sent to the Changchun Palace for the imperial concubines and concubines to use." Zhuo Lan warmed up the bird's nest on the table and presented it to the emperor with both hands: "Your majesty, let's have a taste."

The emperor took the bird's nest and drank it upside down. He praised it very well and said, "You have a heart, get along well with the imperial concubine, she is a very good person, very similar to you."

Zhuo Lan bowed slightly and said, "Concubines are blessed, they can look a bit like noble concubines."

There was a lot of love in the hall, a man in black walked in, Zhuo Lan knew at a glance that this man was the emperor's servant, and he was specially speaking for the emperor to deliver some secret orders.

He was about to evade, but the emperor didn't shy away from it, took her by the hand and forced her to stay, and casually proclaimed an edict to those sons: "Propaganda, please comfort Galdan politely, restrain her from moving forward, don't get angry and provoke her." .otherwise."

Zhuo Lan listened to the emperor's words, raised her eyes to look at Yuanyuan, and immediately had a fit, and fainted in the emperor's arms.

The emperor was in a hurry, and called her several times but no one woke up, and rushed to Yuanyuan, "Hurry up and come to the imperial doctor Xuan!"

Yuanyuan retreated hurriedly at Linzhi, but the emperor was concerned, and couldn't stop calling Zhuo Lan's name.

Standing there was a bit awkward, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, why else?"

Yuanyuan came out of Qianqing Palace, and shouted loudly: "The concubine Jia has fainted, hurry up and tell the imperial physician."

As soon as this sentence fell, there was a commotion outside the hall. At this time, the emperor said again: "Tell the frontline Alani that if Galdan retreats, try to stop it. If Galdan flees northward by force, send troops to pursue it."

This sentence is only a sound, and it is not true.He wanted to ask again, but the imperial physician who was waiting in the side hall of Qianqing Palace to give the emperor a safe pulse had arrived, so he couldn't stay too long, so he took orders and retreated.

When he left the hall, he was full of melancholy, when he suddenly met Yuanyuan.

She raised a warm smile at Fanzi: "I don't know what to call your lord?"

Fanzi shook his head and didn't answer, Yuanyuan said again: "I don't know what happened to the concubine Jia, our lady has been weak since she was a child, so people should worry."

Fanzi said: "The concubine Jia is an auspicious person. If the girl is worried, she should go in and serve her earlier."

The words were about to leave, but Yuanyuan called her back: "I was making noise just now, and I vaguely heard the emperor say that I want my lord to inform the front line to attack Galdan immediately."

The son hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Miss, do you really hear it?"

Yuan Yuan didn't dare to be confident and shook her head: "No." Then she asked: "Your Excellency, do you really hear it?"

Fan Zidao didn't come, Yuanyuan said that he wanted him to enter again to find out the holy meaning, but before the words were finished, she changed her mouth and said: "Now that the concubine Jia is inside, it may be inappropriate for my lord to come in again. Why don't you ask the emperor on behalf of your lord?" One sentence, how about listening to the truth and then relaying it to the adults?"

Fanzi cupped his hands and thanked him: "So, I would like to thank the girl."

After waiting outside the hall for a while, he saw Yuanyuan stepping out, and said firmly to Fanzi, "That's right, the emperor's holy intention is to immediately attack Galdan."

That guy thanked Yuanyuan again, and hurriedly withdrew.

As for Zhuo Lan's sudden fainting symptoms, the imperial physician could not find out the truth.He woke up when he was in a coma for half a stick of incense. Facing the emperor's concern and inquiries from the imperial physician, he only said that he was a weak disease brought about by his mother's womb, and it was his own sin to make the emperor worry about him.

The emperor then ordered the imperial hospital to take supplements, and asked Zhuo Lan to stay in the palace and not to walk around at will.

About one month passed, Zhuo Lan was in good health, and her complexion became more rosy.

July 29th was the day when Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei went to war, but they were drinking Jianxing wine, and the frontline spies rushed to report eight hundred miles away, but something happened in the war.

The spies only said: Alani and Girtab misinterpreted the holy will, and fought against the Galdan army at Wuerhui River on July 26. At this time, Galdan still had 9000 cavalry, while the Qing army only There were less than [-] people, and Alani seriously underestimated the enemy. He only brought two hundred Mongolian warriors and five hundred Khalkha soldiers to attack the Galdan army.As a result, "before the battle, the Zasak and Khalkha soldiers fought for their children and livestock, and the battle could not be stopped."

The Galdan army used musket crossfire on both wings to defeat the main force of the Qing army.

Galdan killed the Qing army and seized more than 500 carts and all the luggage.Alani and others were forced to flee with the remnants.
