My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1233 Gossip
Knowing son Moruo father.

Kangxi couldn't see that Brother Nine was talking about "business trip" at this time, just because he wanted to go out for fun.

It's just not smart enough, how can anyone run outside the pass in winter?

Bitter cold outside the pass.

This season, if you want to go out, you have to go south.

The vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered and is full of vitality.

Kangxi recalled what he saw and heard during his southern tour last year.

The previous southern tours took a long time, and I still need to find opportunities to go a few more times in the future.

When the time comes, bring Brother Jiu with you, so you don't have to pick up the wrong reason every time.

Kangxi felt a little guilty.

Compared with other princes, Brother Jiu's number of retinues is indeed very few.

He was in a low mood, Liang Jiugong muttered beside him, it seems that people should keep an eye on the Ministry of War, don't delay if there is a letter from Master Jiu.

He sent the little eunuch to the Ministry of War to say hello to the driver of the car, and there was a letter from Brother Jiu to Qianqing Palace.

Fortunately, the next evening, the Ministry of War delivered the letter.

The Qianqing Palace has already lighted the lamps, but the meals have not yet been passed on.

Liang Jiugong directly presented Brother Jiu's letter, saying: "Your Majesty, it was sent by the driver of the military chariot, and Master Jiu's letter was sent from the palace yesterday morning."

The letter was bulging, and it came with a large package of linoleum.

Kangxi didn't look at it right away, and asked, "Aside from me, how many letters did Brother Jiu deliver to the capital?"

Liang Jiugong shook his head and said, "Just handed over a letter."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, it should be all right, there is no disturbance and unrest everywhere.

After reading the letter and seeing the detailed description above, Kangxi really took it in.

He also looked at the canyon map.

This was drawn by Cao Yueying himself. It looks simple, but it is also detailed when looking at the distribution of various hot springs and rivers.

He also read Zhang Tingzan's and Cao Yueying's two analyzes on the site selection of the hot spring palace.

Kangxi originally preferred the Kara Hetun Xinggong, the Xinggong is the wind outlet, the vast grasslands to the north, and the rolling hills to the east.

When Mulan was on the siege in the early years, he also stayed here for a few days in the palace to escape the heat.

I knew there was a mountain canyon here before, but I didn't expect it to be a place like a peach blossom garden, which is unknown to the world.

Brother Jiu was careful. Because of the Xiaotangshan Palace, he thought that the summer palace would also have hot springs, so he asked the stewards of the palace along the way to report the distribution of nearby hot springs, and finally heard about Rehe.

This location is very good, next to the Mulan paddock, it is really necessary to build a summer garden, avoid noise and listen to politics, and even arrange an audience with the Mongolian prince.

He asked Liang Jiugong to open the package, and a strong stench came over his face.

Kangxi got off the kang, looking at this intact tiger skin with a bit of disgust.

As Brother Nine boasted in his letter, it was a rare and undamaged tiger skin.

It was a half-grown male tiger, and the golden-yellow tiger skin with brown stripes looked shiny.

Kangxi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'll accept it, and send it to Piku to be nitrated and put into storage."

Liang Jiugong agreed, rolled up the tiger skin and carried it down.

Kangxi sniffled and told Wei Zhu, "Open the window to diffuse the smell."

Wei Zhu hurriedly responded, and went to open the window, leaving an inch of gap.

The night breeze came in, making the room cooler.

Wei Zhu took agarwood and lit it again.

Kangxi had already returned to the kang, looking at Brother Jiu's letter, he hesitated for a moment.

Here I asked for instructions on two things, the site selection of the palace and the placement of the twenty Mongolian households.

Kangxi thought for a while, and wrote a reply letter. The address of the palace is not yet finalized. He wants to go there to take a look in person when he is on his northern tour next year, and he will also ask Qin Tianjian for his opinion.

As for the resettlement of the Mongols, as Brother Jiu said, they can be put under the Ministry of Internal Affairs as horse herdsmen.

The tiger skin is good, and those who shoot the tiger can be rewarded with gold.

In addition, the weather is turning cold and the river water is starting to freeze, Brother Jiu should not stay outside for a long time, but he is preparing to return to Beijing, so as not to worry the elders...

Kara Hetun Palace.

Brother Jiu was pinching his fingers and talking to Shu Shu about the rice in the kitchen.

Two days later, the pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and there was a lot of meat, and there were still [-] catties of rice left over from [-] catties.

"I have to eat like this tomorrow, I think everyone will be injured..."

Thinking about the news that He Yuzhu sent back, Brother Jiu felt a little disgusted.

The huts inside and outside the palace were not enough, so Cao Shun asked someone to temporarily build another one outside the palace.

If you eat too much oil and water, you will either have diarrhea or constipation. Anyway, there are more people going to the toilet and more people squatting in the pit.

"It's time for Erhe to arrive. If we go back in the afternoon, we will be almost there tomorrow night..."

Brother Jiu said.

Shu Shu thought of Princess Duanjing, who could be regarded as a different kind of princess.

To be honest, she has the character of Jiugege before, quiet and elegant.

That is to say, it is close to the capital, so you will not be bullied, otherwise it is really worrying.

When I looked at my son-in-law the year before last, I always felt that he was a little more sophisticated and a little less straightforward than the average Mongolian.

Perhaps it is because of the semi-cultivation and semi-grazing of Harqin?

In this case, the princess and the forehead should have a more common language, but it doesn't seem to be very intimate.

Maybe it's because the princess is reserved, not as generous and forthright as Princess Chunxi and Princess Rongxian.

Harqin Department, Kayou Banner, Princess Duanjing's residence, station.

This is a post station in Mongolia, which was built by the order of Kangxi 31 years later.

On weekdays, the imperial decrees are passed on, and the officers who have been on duty for years from the Lifan Academy are placed.

Although Erhe didn't come from the capital, he was of high rank and was also an official of the imperial court, so he was placed here.

He set off from the palace yesterday morning, and arrived at the Karaqin Department at noon today. He went directly to the gate of the princess's mansion to communicate, but the result was that the princess was recuperating and had no visitors.

Erhe sensed something was wrong.

Since the princess will not see any guests for the time being, she should arrange for the nanny or the head of the princess's house to come out and ask for details.

Nanny and Chang Shi didn't show up, so what about the guards of the princess mansion?
With the emperor's grace, the eldest princess and princess of Fumeng were allowed to open the mansion, and Princess Duanjing was no exception.

The appointed second-class bodyguards and third-class bodyguards are all paid by the imperial court, and the princess chooses from ten Manchurian coats for dowry.

He directly revealed his identity, saying that he was a guard of the Prince's Mansion.

Even if the princess is ill, she shouldn't be so negligent.

Worst of all, it should be the guards of the princess mansion.

As a result, I waited at the station all afternoon, but there was no movement from the princess mansion, and no one was arranged to come from the adjacent eunuch mansion.

Ask someone to ask, and it is said that the forehead went to Kazuo Banner, not here.

Meals are prepared here at the station, which are steamed buns and mutton soup.

Everyone ate.

Erhe called the station master directly and asked, "When did the princess start getting sick? Why didn't anyone report to the capital?"

The station master was troubled, and said for a while: "Maybe he just got sick!"

Erhe looked at the man, and said seriously: "You are receiving money from the imperial court, you should know who is the master!"

This person was selected from the Mongolian Eight Banners of the capital city to be sent on a foreign job. Although he has no rank, but because he is in Monan and receives double salary, it is considered a good job.

But if you really don't think you are a member of the imperial court, and you can't tell the distance, then the head of the station can also be regarded as a leader.

The man had a troubled look on his face.

Erhe said: "This is Monan Mongolia. It is directly connected to the official road with the capital. You can reach it in two days. You have to think about it. If the forehead is really disrespectful, you will be dead and not go to the court. Report, report back to the Princess Mansion, and yours?"

As expected, the man's face turned pale, and he said after a while: "My lord, one is at the head of the town and the other is at the end of the town, five or six miles away from the princess mansion. The news is really not as convenient as there. The information received may not be detailed.”

Erhe said with a straight face, "What did you hear? What to say, whether the news is true or not, the superiors will judge for themselves!"

He was born in the palace, and Cheng Ding was working in the palace. He only had a smiling face, which looked less majestic. Now he imitated Brother Nine's daily demeanor, which really scared that person.

The man hurriedly said: "My lord, please hold your hand high and forgive me once. I mean..."

It turned out that a few days ago, on October [-]th, the day of the Gold Awarding Festival, something happened to the Princess Mansion.

Earlier, the Princess Mansion was adjacent to the Prince Consort's Mansion, but they were self-contained.

Here in the Princess Mansion, most of the servants used are dowry members.

On the other side of the forehead mansion is the slave of the forehead.

This is the well water does not violate the river water.

In the early years, they were considered affectionate, and the princess also had a daughter and a son one after another, and then the husband and wife became a little alienated.

"There are quite a few female slaves in the Econo's mansion, and the butler's concubine Fu Jin, and the princess doesn't care..."

"In the spring of this year, one of the guards in the princess' mansion died of illness, so a new guard named Erdun, who is only 16 years old, is said to be valued by the princess, and he often stays by his side to talk, and some bad words come out..."

"As soon as we heard it, we all knew that this was an unreasonable thing. The princess is so precious, and she is surrounded by mothers and maids. How can she leave her, but for some reason, the rumors are spreading more and more evil, making people afraid..."

"On the day of the gold awarding day, both the Princess Mansion and the Prince Consort's Mansion set up banquets. I heard that the Prince Concubine went to the Princess Mansion after being drunk and asked someone to beat Erdun. Afterwards, the Princess Mansion was closed and there was no news. Come out, the princess didn't show up again..."
