Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 101 Fighting for the right to fight for the right to enter Tong's mansion, discussing the Western Expedition of the Bachelor was refuted (2)
Tong Guowei listened calmly. After a long time, he suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "Suo Xiangxiang is holding back his anger and came to me to vent his anger. Let's not talk about that. I can't listen to the music tonight. You just came back from Nerchinsk , everyone wants to know how the peace talks are going, if it doesn’t matter, can you tell me how it is?” Suo Etu also felt that he was losing his composure, and it was quite disrespectful to make these complaints in front of everyone, so he also laughed: “That’s right, today I I don’t know why, just say all these unhappy words! Come, come, everyone, drink and celebrate our Lantern Festival!” All the guests heard that the two prime ministers had different opinions, and they spoke with thorns in their bones. Squeezing a cold sweat, wishing for this sound, he quickly got up and made jokes, and the atmosphere eased for a while.

"The Raksha Kingdom entered the arena to negotiate a peace with a grenade." Suo'etu had three glasses of wine, his face flushed, and Nerchinsk and his party were the most proud missions he had done in his life, so he spoke eloquently. Hearing, just about to elaborate, he suddenly saw He Zhu'er, a servant from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, come in, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Hurrying to suppress his smile, he called Qian'er and replied: "So Suo Zhongtang is here too, save the slaves and run to Yuhuangmiao Street. The master sent a message to tell Zhongtang and Tong Xiang to hand the sign in now!"

Sending people to call the ministers separately, Kangxi drove to Yikun Palace. Seeing that it was Kangxi coming in, Mrs. Han Liu hurriedly lit up a lamp to lead the way, and said loudly: "My lord, Long Live Lord is here!"

Axiu was playing with her son Yinxiang under the lamp.Since the first day of October in the 28th year of Kangxi, Yinxiang, who was five years old, was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and went to Yuqing Palace to follow the crown prince to listen to Tang Bin's lectures.In the first month of this year, Kangxi somehow showed kindness and ordered the princes to stop reading for half a month to reunite with their mother. This is already a mighty emperor's favor in the palace.Ever since Handan and Chen Huangqin cut off their voices, Axiu has been very indifferent to the love between men and women, and she only thinks of being able to stay with her son together, so that one day she can go back to her hometown to have a look.After Mingzhu's incident came out, there was a lot of talk in the palace, Hui Fei Nalan's face was naturally swept away, and Axiu became much more affectionate.She saw that as soon as Axiu left, Kangxi arrived on his back.Axiu heard Han Liu's report, hurriedly pulled Yinxiang out, knelt at the door of the hall, and said softly: "Nupi Zhang Jia knocked on the master!"

"Get up!" Kangxi smiled and stroked Yinxiang's braid, and entered the hall as he said, "I haven't checked your sign for a few months. One is that you are not in good health, and the other is that I am too busy——" I still have to meet the minister tonight, it’s time for now, so I’m here to have a look. This time it’s not like the 23rd year of Kangxi, and I’m really going to have a decisive battle with Galdan. Take advantage of your wish!"

Axiu brought tea in her hands, and when she heard this, her hands trembled, and the hot tea splashed all over the table, her eyes jumped suddenly, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Kangxi sat down with a smile, holding the child in his arms, "King Zhuo Suotu has a way to lure this big fish into the bait, and Ge Erdan, a greedy villain, will not escape this disaster! "Axiu was so excited that her heart was beating wildly, and the tears still flowed out in circles in her eyes. She hurriedly wiped away the tears and said with a smile: "Ulan Butong is only a few hundred miles away from Gubeikou, so the servants don't care about such a big thing." I don’t know!” “Of course you don’t know.” Kangxi laughed and said, “Don’t say it’s you, except Tong Guowei, who is in the game, no one in Beijing knows! Let those Beijing officials know, and the whole world will be disturbed again.”

"The stele must follow!" Axiu said without hesitation, "Long Live promised!"

"That's impossible." Kangxi said with a smile, "What do you mean by bringing a woman in the army? There are knives, guns, cannons, and horseback riding. What can you do?" You know, I can wield a knife right away, you saw it with your own eyes last year when Mulan hunted."

When Kangxi saw that she was obstinate, he got up and held her by the shoulders, and said, "War is not hunting, it's not child's play, understand?" Axiu twisted her body, covered her face with her hands and cried: "You are not joking, this is not you What did you say before? My father, my brother, my sisters, my family... how miserable, if not for them to avenge their shame, why did I come to this Central Plains to wander and suffer all kinds of hardships? Long live...you... ...you should think about it for me..." Hearing her say this, Kangxi suddenly remembered the rumors about Axiu and Chen Huang, couldn't help but change his color, stood up with a livid face, walked a few steps, and wanted to speak again and again. After a long time, he said: "It seems that you still can't let go...your hometown grassland! How have I been waiting for you since entering the palace? Which concubine became a noble concubine so soon?...Okay, since I said that, I Just take you, you can do it yourself!" After saying that, he got up and went.

Kangxi hurried back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a heart full of worries.It is reasonable for Axiu to love her family for revenge, and he is not angry.What is exasperating is that Guo Luoluo and several internal eunuchs said that after Axiu entered the palace, she asked the foreign officials about Chen Huang. It can be seen that no matter whether it is in the domain or not, only women and villains are difficult to raise. The words of the saint are not false .

"Long live, the servant Gao Shiqi will take over!"

Kangxi was stunned, only to see that he had arrived outside the Chuihua Gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Gao Shiqi had just entered the palace after receiving the order, so he met here.Kangxi said angrily: "Come in." He entered the courtyard by himself.Under the bright lights of the courtyard, Suo'etu, Tong Guowei, Zhang Tingyu, Feiyanggu and Li Guangdi knelt under Dan Chi one by one. When they saw Kangxi bringing Gao Shiqi in, they each kowtowed to Kangxi, got up silently and filed in.Kangxi regained his attention, asked the overheated milk to drink a cup, turned his head and asked Li Guangdi:
"Li Guangdi, you are in charge of the household department now, how much grain is there in the provinces north of the Yellow River?"

"Returning to the Lord," Li Guangdi hurriedly said, "I am walking in Wenyuan Pavilion, because I used to be in charge of the household department, but I only took care of the household affairs. The food is not very clear. There are about 500 million stones in storage. Stored in Zhili, Shandong, and Shanxi provinces."

Li Guangdi is a very astute person, seeing Feiyang Gujin coming to see him tonight, it is expected that Kangxi will use troops in the west.Most of the courtiers disagreed with this matter, and he didn't want the country to go to war lightly on the day of peace, so he deliberately pretended to be confused.But 500 million shi is not a small number. It is unbelievable in the first ten years. Kangxi felt more at ease and said with a smile: "You are a famous minister of Neo Confucianism, and you are not willing to meet me sincerely? I have something in my heart. I have a plan; I am afraid you have laid an ambush?" "Knowing it is knowing it, not knowing it is not knowing." Li Guang blushed suddenly, and said, "How dare I deceive you?"

Kangxi stared at the crowd for a long time, then abruptly said: "I think there are more than 1000 million stone grains, which is almost enough. I think that when Wu Sangui was flattened, there were only 700 million stone grains in the capital, and the grain in the south of the Yangtze River could not be counted on, so we should do things as usual. Yes. I promised Jackie Chan, the military rations are sufficient, and I want to set a system that will never increase the tax. It seems that the time has come."

"Never add a gift!" The four words were like a thunderous thunder, which shocked all the ministers. Since the beginning of the world, no imperial court dared to declare like this!

Gao Shiyi took a step forward and said loudly: "This is honesty and good governance that is rare in all ages! It's just that we need to be careful and thorough. Once the army is raised, the food and supplies will run out, and there is no room for change?"

"It is precisely because I want to personally conquer Galdan that I made this decision!" Kangxi said quietly, "A few years ago, the taxes were too heavy, the common people complained, and the palace officials also complained. Now—announcing the promotion of the army to fight the war, I am afraid there is something wrong. Just taking the opportunity to incite the hearts of the people, this decree is a great reassurance, do you understand?"

"The lord wants to raise the army?" Li Guangdi knelt down with a plop, "It is a last resort to withdraw the 'San Francisco' and raise the army. The rejuvenation of the army to flatten Taiwan has exhausted the financial resources. Now the Central Plains is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. military?"

"For the Chinese celestial dynasty to unify the world!" Kangxi said coldly, "I am the master of the world. I can't rule the Central Plains, regardless of the people in the Western Regions who are in dire straits! I heard that you made a divination to Guowei, saying that this time It's a bad start, but there are?"

Li Guangdi kowtowed and replied: "I just want Guowei to convey this to the sage! The minister got the hexagram of 'Master' that day, which is a bad omen! Knowing that it is not good, how dare I not say anything?"

"Li Guangdi's words can be described as biased!" Gao Shiqi interjected, "Although the hexagram 'Shi' contains evil, but the general outline says 'Zhenzhang is lucky, there is no blame'! My emperor is wise and wise, and he came to the former enemy in person, which is exactly what the 'zhangren' 'Commander, it is the hexagram of great auspiciousness and auspiciousness!"

Kangxi's face turned ugly by Li Guangdi's words, after Gao Shiqi's explanations, his speech was precise, his face turned back to color, and he sneered: "I can't think of you, Li Guangdi, only looking at the moon and not the outline! You still have to study for a few years." Books are what make it! To tell you the truth, I am raising troops for the people, and I don’t care about good or bad! This is where the Dali of the "Book of Changes" lies. If there is any bad luck or bad luck, it will only fall on Galdan! You What's wrong with Li Guangdi, you don't even understand this?"

"I don't understand the Book of Changes." Fei Yanggu said slowly after listening for a long time, "I only know that the emperor has painstakingly set up nets to catch birds for many years. This opportunity should not be missed! The emperor will never add a tax, and the minister is also convinced, 500 million stone grains , because there are still 400 million shi to be used by the capital, and 700 million shi to relieve the refugees who fled from Mongolia from Gansu and Shanxi. In fact, only 400 million shi can be used by the military, which is far behind. But as far as I know, Luoyang, There are 200 million shi grains in the Shanzhou storehouse, 140 million shi grains in Jingjing Fan’s inventory, and 510 million shi grains collected by Yu Chenglong this year along the water transport to the north, all of which have not been included in the grain storage of the household department. This battle is easy to fight, and this is auspicious .”

Kangxi couldn't help laughing inwardly when he heard this, Feiyang Guzhen was unambiguous, but he didn't know that the four halls he set up in Yan'an and other places secretly stored 400 million stone grains. He yawned and said: "Whether the main battle is the main battle or not, I will not be guilty. It's getting late, you kneel down. Zhang Tingyu, Gao Shiqi and Suo'etu discuss who will stay in Beijing and who will follow. Call the Ministry of Rites Prepare, on February [-]nd, I will parade at the Wufeng Tower, and the imperial conquest will be held in person!"
