Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 55 Enwei used the emperor to gossip about the prince and the village woman ridiculed the emperor (2)
"Also." Kangxi's pupils were black and bright, "Allow the land of the three banners on the left, middle and right of Harqin to your ministry. The area is full of Mongolian and Han barracks banners, guarded by armored men and green camp generals, and belongs to you, King Horqin Dispatch—how does this kind of grace compare to a few pearls and 10,000+ taels of gold?"

The land of the Three Banners of Harqin is five hundred miles from east to west and 450 miles from north to south, with more than [-] troops stationed in the camp.All of them were given to Zhuo Suotu at once!This is a reward that you can't even dream of!Zhuosutu's blood seemed to be pouring all over his face.Compared with this, what gold oriental beads, precious stones, gold and jade have all turned into dust and mud. For the Mongolians, what is more precious than grasslands, pastures, and military horses?Zhuo Suotu shook his body as if he was drunk, and fixed his eyes on Kangxi.Kangxi looked at the Mongolian king kindly, without any hypocrisy or deceit in the corner of his smiling mouth and flawless eyes.Zhuo Suotu murmured, then suddenly gently pulled out the dagger in his waist, held it in his hand, looked at it, and flicked his left index finger, and blood gushed out immediately.

"Your Majesty, the sovereign of all things in the world!" Zhuo Suotu's voice trembled slightly, "I swear by the blood of the ancestors of my Zhuo Suotu family tribe: Even if the sun and the moon never rise from the grassland again, even if the storm fills the world , all the eagles above Horqin will not lose their way, they will always be the loyal servants of the Qing Emperor..."

It wasn't until the end of the day that Zhuo Suotu kowtowed and knelt down.Gao Shiqi has drawn up several edicts.Because Kangxi saw that the first job was to talk about "eating", he just smiled and put it aside.I also read the Mingfa deprivation of Horqin Wang Dongzhu and the iron certificate book, as well as the secret decree of the Three Banners of Harqin, but I read it very carefully.After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's all right. Tell me, how do you deal with Horqin like this?"

Mingzhu saw it from the beginning to the end. Seeing that Kangxi was calming and caressing, kneading and rubbing, and treating Zhuo Suotu like a child, he was so impressed that he was extremely admired. Just about to speak, Suo'etu laughed and said: "The slave is watching I was so dazzled, I didn’t even have time to think about it. Now that I think about it, the emperor is going to lure the enemy in! However, the servant thought, after all, the matter in Taiwan is gone, and it seems a bit too hasty.” Mingzhu hurriedly said: “The emperor uses both grace and power. , Subduing King Horqin, this effect is really wonderful, not only is it not afraid of Geerdan's eastward advance, but also has nothing to worry about in Heilongjiang. Two birds with one stone, wonderful! According to the servants, it is not too hasty, Taiwan can be taken this year, After a few years of preparation, if Galdan really invades the east, he will be able to accomplish all his achievements in one battle!"

"Long live's handling is very wise and appropriate." Gao Shiqi pondered.He suddenly thought that it was he who said the "map" that led to the awarding of Karaqin. He was afraid that Kangxi would think that he was too smart, and he was afraid that he would be affected by future changes, so he hurriedly said, "But according to the slave, it is enough to give the iron coupon. .Why add such a heavy reward? Eagles can’t be fed too much, and they will eat when they are full. There is an old saying. This is a little thought of the slave.”

After listening to their discussion with a smile, Kangxi turned to Wei Dongting and asked, "Hu Chen, what do you think?"

"What kind of knowledge does this slave have?" Wei Dongting was stunned and smiled, "But I think Gao Shiqi's words seem reasonable. Horqin has always been known as rich and wealthy, with thousands of miles of territory and tens of thousands of troops. In addition to the people of the Three Banners of Harqin, only There are more than [-] cavalry. If there is an unforeseen gap, I am afraid that the tail will be in trouble, and we are so close to Beijing..."

Kangxi laughed and didn't answer.He got up, yawned, and said, "Kneel down. Xiao Weizi will be on his way tomorrow! Passing by the Karaqin Zuo Banner, he passed the decree to Lang Fu. From now on, like Wei Dongting, he also has a special performance power!"

After staying in Shenyang for four days, Kangxi ordered to drive back to Beijing.This trip to Fengtian can be said to be full of ambitions. I got an Axiu, a living map and a guide for going west.The Mongolian princes in the south and north of the desert swore allegiance to the imperial court with a blood alliance in the Qin'an Hall, and fought against Galdan with the enemy. They also agreed to build a palace in Chengde, Rehe, as the place where the permanent court was stationed in Beijing.Grasp the line of King Horqin, if you can lure Galdan, a big fish, to the east, and you will personally lead the three armies and combine the forces of Han and Mongolia to gather and wipe them out. no?
After staying at Xifengkou, it was the spring of March. Although there is only a Great Wall between the inside and the outside of the pass, the climate and earth climate are quite different.Returning from the white mountains and black waters at first glance, it really feels like changing the world.Kangxi was so happy that he got off the bus and ordered Axiu's sedan chair to follow him far away. Zihe and his left and right pretended to be merchants, chatting and laughing with the guards on the horse, sometimes flying eagles to hunt, sometimes visiting small shops in the city, It is also very happy to visit the folk customs, and there are post stations along the road to meet and see you off.

Traveling until noon on this day, Kangxi felt a little hungry, so he built a pergola on the horse, and saw a small village mash shop, facing the river and next to the road with willows, a bay of duck heads and clear water gurgling eastward. The cover, with two lines written crookedly on it:
Taibai got off his horse after smelling the fragrance, so don't ask Xinghua Village when you come here.

While running freely, he asked: "Suo Laosan, what ground are we on?"

"Gentlemen, you've arrived in Sanhe Town!" Before Suo'etu could answer, a middle-aged woman in the shop greeted her with a smile on her face, "Come down and have a rest, eat a bowl of Sanhe Old Mash, it won't delay your walk at all— —Tai Lai's family, hot wine, wash the dust for the guests, ask the guys to lead the horses to the backyard, mix the best ingredients and feed them!" Saying this is already a blessing.When Gao Shiqi looked at this woman, she wore a blue robe and embroidered trousers with a pair of half-sized feet, the legs were bound early, and the sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing the snow-white lining. Although she was dressed like a homely village woman, she looked Clean and neat.Gao Shiqi dismounted after him, and threw the string to the buddy.He smiled and said: "Xiaoqiao Liushui family, you are a good shopkeeper. Don't you believe that your wine is comparable to Fenjiu?" Where does such good water come from the river!" The proprietress spoke concisely and neatly, she was busy taking care of Mingzhu's people without touching the ground, seeing that Kangxi was the host and guest, she gave way to the upper seat, and arranged for the waiter to fetch water to wash her face. He kept saying, "Don't look at my house's small appearance, I have opened more than 100 small shops like this! It's a time-honored brand with more than [-] years, and it's all because of the good wine and the scenery that the customers have this elegance! No. I, Mrs. Cui, boasted that my grandfather was still there when I came over. Let me tell you, the words on the front of the cover were written by the former Ming Zhengde! The emperor is also a human being, so you have to say yes!"

Kangxi sat down with a smile, and said, "What an eloquent tongue—since it was said that Zhengde came to your house for a drink, your ancestors didn't say what he was like?"

"Your Majesty, isn't that a little imposing?" The proprietress saw Kangxi's extraordinary demeanor and elegance, and knew that he had something to do, while she was busy setting the big copper pot for boiling wine on the blazing fire.Sifting the wine, he joked back, "Grandfather said, the emperor holds gold ingots in his left hand and silver ingots in his right hand, and the ass of the donkey on which he is riding is full of ginseng, and he eats ginseng when he is hungry... When I go to the toilet, I ask someone to take the light yellow satin and prepare it..."

Before the words were spoken, Kangxi and his party were already roaring with laughter.Seeing that Kangxi was in such a good mood, Mingzhu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you want light yellow satin for?" Laughing loudly, he coughed and said, "...Good! Good! You describe it well, this is a good emperor!" The accompanying guards leaned forward and back one by one, covering their mouths and laughing uncontrollably.

I was in a mess, but I saw an official sedan chair passing by on the official road outside.Then there are four small sedan chairs, which seem to be the family members. There are five or sixty people in the front and back, and the clothes are very mixed.Behind them, a dozen or so mules were carrying miscellaneous things such as cages, dowry stands, and thrush cages, and they meandered westward.Kangxi thought that some province's vassal must be passing by when he took office, so he didn't care.The proprietress looked at the official sedan chair, and blinked to see a middle-aged man getting off his donkey outside, followed by the little Xi Nu, who hurriedly smiled and said: "A guest is coming - the wine and food are all here, please use it yourself - hey, old man Guest! Please sit inside, it’s clean and bright, and you’ll be on your way before you hit the tip..." He walked out to greet him.

The middle-aged man got off the donkey and ordered the little Xi Nu to tie it to the willow tree. He only said to the proprietress: "We are in a hurry, so we won't go in. Boil two bowls of wine, bring a plate of dried tofu, and stand outside to eat." Let's go after finishing--" As he said, he stepped forward and grabbed the companion who was walking at the end of the official sedan chair, and asked softly, "Hey, brother, which family is the adult who just passed by?" Kangxi couldn't help but glanced at the middle-aged man , although I feel a little familiar, but I can't remember when I saw it. "Are you asking our master?" The companion took a look at the middle-aged man, ate the melon seeds, and said indifferently, "The new county magistrate, the county magistrate of Sanhe! Mao Zongtang Mao Daling!" After saying that, he waved and left.The middle-aged man was startled when he heard this, and after a while he nodded his beard and said, "Oh——what a grand gesture!"

Kangxi's heart was shocked, a small county magistrate, a top-ranked son, actually brought such a large group of ghosts and snakes with him when he took office!Thinking about it, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Mingzhu.Mingzhu saw that his face suddenly became gloomy, and she was afraid of getting angry on the spot, so she said loudly: "The magistrate of a county, Bailihou, can you still have no power?"

"Bailihou?" The middle-aged man had finished drinking outside the store, handed the proprietress twenty coppers, wiped his mouth and said with a sneer, "This is a Baili tiger, it comes to eat with its bloody mouth open. The people are gone!" Said and walked away.After watching for a long time, Wu Dan recognized him, seeing that Kangxi was in a daze, he hurriedly moved closer to whisper a few words.
