Concubine slaps face daily

Chapter 314 Inspiration
After the empress dowager returned to Beijing with Kangxi, she stayed peacefully in the Ningshou Palace until she learned that Kangxi was going to conquer Junggar in person, then her face changed.

Although Kangxi is not her own, at least she has a childhood affection, but if she really wants to replace her grandson, unless the fifth elder brother is raised by her, no matter who it is, she will not be able to live better in the future than she is now good.In order to protect her own interests, the empress dowager, who had been peaceful for a while, had to invite Kangxi over.

After Kangxi returned to Beijing, it wasn't that he didn't want to warn the empress dowager, but the empress dowager settled down before he could speak.Furthermore, he wanted to attack Junggar wholeheartedly, so he naturally had to focus on the preparations needed for the battle.As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. Since he intends to deal with Junggar, he must prepare well. Otherwise, it will be like the war against San Francisco, which has been delayed for several years. I'm afraid it's going to be a mess again.

Originally, the empress dowager sent people to invite people, but Kangxi didn't want to pay attention, but she couldn't help her sending people to invite people over and over again. As a last resort, Kangxi agreed, but before going to Ningshou Palace, he went to Yonghe Palace, all the matters for the personal conquest have been prepared. Kangxi originally wanted to sit in the Yonghe Palace before departure, as a memory of the past with Yunxi, but he didn't want to be swept away by the people sent by the empress dowager halfway. prosper.But even so, Kangxi couldn't change his previous decision, and it was because of this that he was inspired by a casual glance in Yunxi's study.

The territory of Mongolia is an endless prairie. It is located on the border and the environment is harsh. Not all places are lush with water and grass. Otherwise, why would Horqin rely on the Qing Dynasty to occupy the place with the most lush water and grass on the grassland.In addition, although the various Mongolian ministries have publicly expressed their surrender to the Qing Dynasty, many people have other ideas in private, and they have not even been able to correct their attitudes, hoping to restore the glory of the past, and the Junggar rebellion is the best example.If he recklessly sends troops to fight back like this, he is afraid that he will be led by the nose by Galdan. After all, the grassland is Galdan's territory. He is familiar with the environment and must have a countermeasure. If he can't believe it If more people lead the way for him, even if he wins this battle, it will be a miserable victory.

Thinking of this, Kangxi walked out of the Yonghe Palace quickly, and after returning to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately summoned Fuquan, told him the ins and outs of the matter, and then dealt with some trivial matters, and then took Liang Jiugong to leave before the empress dowager sent someone over again Ningshou Palace.

The empress dowager had no objection to Kangxi’s attack on Junggar. It can be said that as long as it was not Horqin and the tribes they cooperated with, other tribes were attacked or taught, she didn’t really care. She couldn't put the overall situation first. She valued herself first, and then her clansmen. As for the others, she didn't really care as much as she showed.

After all, the empress dowager is just an ordinary woman, and a woman who has been treated harshly by life. It can be said that she has no choice but to accept everything passively in the first half of her life. Because she wants to live, she endures everything. Even if she has the opportunity to be the master of the family, it will be difficult to take on this burden. Otherwise, it is easy to do just bringing one or two Mongolian girls back to Beijing. Marriage is still possible, but unfortunately she can't see through it, and the empress dowager who died suddenly didn't have time to teach.

"Emperor, the Ai family heard that you want to conquer in person, how can this be possible! As the king of a country, you are responsible for the safety of the entire Qing Dynasty. If you are in danger, you will shake the foundation of the country!" When the empress dowager saw Kangxi, Without waiting for him to salute, he asked directly.

"I'm worrying the empress dowager." Kangxi frowned slightly when he heard the words, but it was only for a moment, and then he saluted the empress dowager, with a smile on his mouth, and said in a friendly tone: "But I can't do this." Give in, after all, what Galdan did was outrageous and immoral, and everyone knows it, I must set an example, otherwise others will follow suit, what is the prestige of the Qing Dynasty?"

When the Empress Dowager saw Kangxi seriously explaining, she didn't know how to say what she had said. After all, this matter is a matter of the upper hand. Even if she is the Empress Dowager, she should not interfere easily, but to ensure her She had no choice but to persuade Kangxi, "But the emperor's safety is more important!"

Kangxi looked at the empress dowager's self-righteous concern with cold eyes, and his heart was indifferent. Anyway, his little affection for the empress dowager had been wiped out by her actions. It's just because he can't take care of it, otherwise the empress dowager wouldn't have the opportunity to make irresponsible remarks in front of him.

Besides, if she was really worried about him, wouldn't it be possible to just say a few simple words like that, can she not be so clear with that expression of wishing him to make arrangements for his funeral?He was very clear about the empress dowager's plan, so the moment he decided to conquest himself, he had already taken all possibilities into account.

As an emperor, although he doesn't need to charge, he has to take command. It can be said that as long as he goes, he is the heart of the army, and his every move represents momentum, but even so, it does not mean that he is absolutely safe. After all, history There are also monarchs who have lost their lives because of flying arrows. He dare not gamble, especially when the prince and others are not in the capital, he must ensure that something happens to him and Yinfeng can succeed to the throne smoothly.As for why Yinfeng was chosen, firstly, he is a righteous prince, and secondly, he has a good attitude towards Yunxi and the three children. Just because Yunxi sacrificed his life to save him, he had to treat them kindly, while the other Brother, regardless of whether they are good or not, the forces behind them are already in chaos before they gather, so let's talk about the future.

"Emperor Niang, it's just a situation. It's impossible to be like the ancestors and the others. They have personally experienced everything. Besides, a Junggar will not worry me!" Kangxi smiled, his expression was peaceful. , but with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The empress dowager was speechless by Kangxi's strength, and she was even uneasy. She wished she could be as eloquent as Concubine Zhao, and she could persuade people with just a few words, but she knew very well that she couldn't do that. , because the status of empress dowager is her greatest reliance, the emperor has to be concerned about her status as an elder, and Horqin is concerned about the meaning of her existence as empress dowager, but only she knows that such scruples are only for a while and not forever, otherwise she would not be so big. When you are old, you have to calculate your wealth for the rest of your life.

"But..." The empress dowager thought again and again and still didn't want to compromise like this. After all, she is not the empress dowager, she can't know Kangxi's intentions, she can't see the overall situation, and she doesn't have the guts to dare to play palace changes, so she can only use this It's a stupid way, I hope Kangxi can change his mind under his own persuasion.

"No, but everything has been decided. In the next few days, I will lead the army and set off, and this palace will be temporarily entrusted to the Queen Mother." Kangxi smiled and began to change the subject.

The empress dowager looked at Kangxi with a firm face, and she couldn't say anything more. If she didn't know what to say, Kangxi might not give her a good face. After all, the present is not as good as before. The empress dowager She's gone, and she doesn't have much power, so how can she have the confidence to fight against the emperor? Fortunately, she is not as urgent as the empress dowager, nor is she as courageous as her, otherwise the emperor might not have the patience to talk to her. !
Seeing that the Empress Dowager stopped persuading him, Kangxi's attitude relaxed a lot. After all, he didn't want to catch fire in the backyard, nor did he want to make any more troubles, so he tried to appease him as much as he could. If he couldn't, he couldn't blame him.

After about half an hour, Kangxi left Ningshou Palace. When he returned to Qianqing Palace, Fuquan happened to ask for an interview. Kangxi didn't think much about it, so he directly announced him in.I thought he was looking for someone, but unexpectedly he came to deliver the booklet. Kangxi didn't say much, after taking the booklet and reading it, the expression on his face immediately improved a lot.

Fuquan raised his head and saw Kangxi's expression in his eyes, and guessed in his heart that Concubine Zhao's injury must have improved, so that's fine, if Concubine Zhao really went, the emperor would not be in a mess, but he would be in chaos Mind, "Your Majesty, this servant looks like it should be good news. Since it is good news, then this battle must be a complete victory."

Compared with the difficulty of attacking San Francisco, the problems on the Junggar side are obviously much smaller. If they are not prepared enough, it may be very troublesome, but now it seems that he is thinking too much. The emperor thinks more fully than he does. I want to come to the emperor's heart No matter how angry you are, you must also maintain your rationality, otherwise if you really want to attack rashly, it may be difficult to get good results.

There was a lot of movement in Junggar, and it seemed that Galdan also knew that he was doomed, so after fleeing from Mulan and returning to Junggar, he made preparations.Presumably in the near future, even if the Qing Dynasty does not send troops, Junggar will come to provoke. After all, no one likes to have a knife on their head that cannot be dropped.

"Well. Concubine Zhao's injury has improved. I think the imperial physician has done their best. My second brother will help me make arrangements. Once Concubine Zhao wakes up and her injury is stable, I will have someone escort them back to Beijing. Although I have already arranged for this in the palace Okay, but people are not changing, so I have to be more careful." Kangxi nodded with a smile when he heard this, but what he said next had a deep meaning, and it was obvious that he was on guard against all the officials in the court.

Fuquan just nodded knowingly. The two brothers knew this tacit understanding. After all, although most of the past was the credit of Kangxi, without the help of Fuquan and the others, he could not have reached this step so smoothly. Furthermore, compared to the clan courtiers in the court who have their own ghosts, he and Kangxi have the same ideas, and naturally hope that this battle can be won.
