My father-in-law is Kangxi

There is still a quarter of an hour before the Grand Reading.

Kangxi, wearing armor, came out of the palace, followed by the third elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.

The four of them were wearing new cotton armor.

Outside the palace, the princes, princes and ministers lined up to greet him.

Kangxi's golden chariot, which is one foot and five inches high, is already waiting outside the palace, and is carried by 28 Luan Yi guards.

Kangxi got on the chariot and led everyone to Xihongmen.

The place for reading is inside Xihongmen.

The Eight Banners are divided into three formations, with two wings of palace troops.

Soldiers with various flags, all cavalry, looking at the crowd of people, it seems endless.

Next to Kangxi were four princes wearing armor.

Outside are the other princes, princes and ministers.

Looking at the momentum in front of him and listening to the sound of the snails and the drums, Brother Jiu also felt his heart surge.

The purpose is to let Khalkha meet the elites of the celestial dynasty, so as to avoid being confused.

Is it appropriate for us to remain so close to Russia even though we are already annexed?

The Eight Banners Parade has already been customized.

The emperor reviewed the military appearance, and then began to practice orders, prohibitions, and guns.

The sight of the cavalry team was so exciting that when the guns and cannons fired together, not only the ground shook, but also the target forest in the distance was instantly leveled to the ground, and the "hurrah" startled the birds flying in the sky.

On the school grounds, there was no other sound except the neighing of horses.

Prince Baylor next to the Holy Driver was also surprised when he saw this scene.

In recent years, the capital and deputy capitals of the Eight Banners have changed frequently, and candidates have long been no longer limited to their own banners.

The real power of the princes of the Eight Banners is not to say that it exists in name only, but that's about it.

The South Study Room replaced the King's Meeting.

The number of ministers of political affairs is increasing year by year, expanding from the first rank to the second rank. Now ministers of various ministries are also qualified to be ministers of political affairs.

The princes of various banners had long heard that the emperor arranged for manpower to practice the Eight Banners, but they did not expect that they would be in such good condition after two years.

The team looked neat and solemn, looking a bit elite, and the gunmen and artillery armor of the firearms battalion were also very impressive. Their appearance was completely different from previous years.

Brother Jiu was also puzzled, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the red flag formation.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look realistic.

Zhasak Tuhan's seat is under the throne.

King Khan is extremely young and talented.

His real title was Prince Heshuo, who was also a young king. The previous three generations of khans, his brother, father and uncle, all died unexpectedly.

It involves the internal fighting among the three Khalkha tribes. The trigger for Junggar's invasion of Khalkha was the Zhasaktu tribe's request for help.

For this reason, among the three Khalkha tribes, although the imperial court made mediation and accepted the annexation of the three tribes, it showed the least favor to the Zasaktu tribe.

Due to the violent deaths of his father and brother, the Little Khan became Prince Heshuo with the support of the imperial court when he was only a few years old. He led the Zhasak tribe and was regarded as the co-leader of the Nine Banners of Zhasak.

The imperial court has not officially granted him the title of Khan for a long time, just hoping for some changes to see if court officials can be stationed like the Monan tribe.

It didn't work.

The environment in Khalkha is like this, and there are kings in the other two divisions.

Prince Taiji of Zasaktu also worked together to avoid being annexed.

King Khan will be 20 years old in two years. By then, the court will not be able to delay any longer and will officially give him the title of King Khan.

Seeing the young Khan stand up, he respectfully said to Kangxi: "I have never heard of such a neat and elite team since ancient times. They are worthy of being soldiers of the heaven. Only the great Bogda Khan has such a brave team. "

Kangxi looked down at the young Khan. The Zhasak tribe was indeed guilty. He colluded with the Junggars and lured wolves into the house, causing the Junggars to invade Khalkha. However, the Zhasak tribe wanted to attract foreign aid because it was to resist the invasion of the Tuxie tribe. It is also excusable.

If the Zhasak tribe had not invited foreign aid at that time, the rising Tuxie tribe would have unified Khalkha.

That is unacceptable to the court.

The divided Khalkha is a barrier to the imperial court, while the unified Khalkha is a dangerous prairie wolf.

It's enough to suppress the Zasaktu tribe for more than ten years.

Kangxi already had a new plan in mind.

If Tuxie Tubu is not honest, then their feud with Zhasak Tubu can no longer remain silent.

The Zhasak tribe should also be aware of the threat from the Tuxie tribe, so the Khan would bring the kings, Baylor, etc. to the court, and also to propose marriage to the court.

The little Khan King has not yet formally succeeded to the throne, but has already gone to his cousin to propose marriage to his eldest daughter.

Tuxie Tuhan has a princess. They don't dare to look forward to the princess, but they also hope that Duoduo will improve their relationship with the court.

Kangxi listened to a round of flattery and responded to the Khan in Mongolian.

When the Khan returned to his seat, Kangxi got off the throne and got on the horse.

An arrow target was set up in the distance, and Kangxi shot it twice, hitting both targets.

Then the four princes shot three times, and all of them hit.

Finally, fifteen guards with hard bows who were good at shooting came out. They were not holding Manchu bows, but new bows, and they all hit the mark.

Onlookers watched the team and cheered loudly.

Kangxi exchanged the golden chariot and returned to the palace.

Brother Jiu followed the others, but he still had more to say.He whispered to Fifth Brother: "Is this the end? Only half an hour?"

The soldiers of the Eight Banners came over to rehearse for five days, and then they just performed a ban?

The fifth elder brother said: "It's just a grand parade, not the Eight Banners martial arts show, just take a look!"

Brother Jiu murmured: "That doesn't mean you're powerful or not. It's just that it's neater and the cotton armor on your body is cleaner. What can you tell from that?"

As for the new bow promoted by his father-in-law, it didn't attract much attention.

After all, even if you use a Manchu bow, you can still pick out a dozen hard archers.

The fifth elder brother had been on the battlefield and explained carefully: "Nowadays, we don't look at cavalry and archery in battles. We mainly look at shotguns and cannons... What Zasak Tuhan and the others fear is not the Eight Banners cavalry, but the last firearms battalion. That's it." It is the number of shotgun soldiers and the accuracy of the cannons. The court has no shortage of firearms, and the three Khalkhas will be honest. If the court is short of firearms supply, then they will be restless. They all come from Russia. Buy shotguns and cannons, you will be rich in firearms."

Brother Jiu frowned when he heard this and said: "Then the imperial court is just a name. Jiu Bai pays tribute every year, but how much money does the Lifanyuan pay?"

Regardless of whether it is a prince from an outer vassal or a prince from an inner vassal, as long as he is officially canonized by the court, he will have a salary and satin, as well as a royal decree.

This is a huge expense, each of the three Khalkha tribes costs 10,000+ taels of silver.

In addition, when the three ministries send envoys to pay tribute to Jiubai, they also have to arrange rewards, which are also a sum of money.

The fourteenth elder brother was standing by and whispered: "It's just dishonest. When there is no king of Khan in Khalkha, and every banner in Inner Mongolia has the final say, Khalkha will truly settle down."

Ninth Prince geared up and said, "We have to think of a way to make back the money that the imperial court has lost, or else we will fatten them up over time. Be careful not to push too far!"

The fourth elder brother did not speak, but just glanced at the ninth elder brother.

The relationship between the three Khalkha tribes and the imperial court is indeed alienated. No matter what method is used, it is good to strengthen the connection.

It's just that the three Khalkhas are too far away from the capital, so the wool plan can be applied in Monan Mongolia, but it is not suitable for promotion in Khalkhas.

The eldest brother fell behind and was called aside by Suljin to talk.

"My lord, that's not quite right..."

Suljin said worriedly: "On occasions like this, doesn't the emperor always take the prince with him?"

The eldest brother said disapprovingly: "The brother below is also an adult, and he is very capable."

Suljin looked at his eldest brother and hesitated to speak.

But in the eyes of outsiders, it means that the eldest brother has fallen out of favor.

It happened that the eldest brother did make mistakes in his previous errand, and he was not punished openly but also secretly.

There are many people with mixed eyes, and it is not the place to explain. The eldest brother shook his head and said: "Don't think so much."

Mingzhu told him in private that it would be a lie to play now.

To avoid the prince's sharp edge, the only choice is the emperor.

It is so...

Since Suo Etu disappeared, the princelings have become a mess.

The eldest brother directly avoided it here, and lost the enemy there. After three years of hard work, he has not regrouped.

and then?
The imperial father, who was afraid that the prince would be bullied, began to dislike the prince.

Starting from this year, whenever I travel, I always take the prince with me.

Although the eldest brother still arranged some errands to inspect the residence, he brought up a thirteenth brother to share the errands with him.

Is this to share the errands, or to put an eye on him?

First change the Qi genus children in the Three Banners, and then move on to the Qi genus children in the Three Banners Guards.

The access control in the palace is becoming more and more strict...

In Yuqing Palace, the prince was also looking at the clock.

It's already early afternoon, and the Eight Banners Parade should be over.

The prince didn't want to see anyone or do anything. He just felt that he had become a joke.

Even the fourteenth elder brother went to Nanyuan, and he, the prince, was ignored.

This is the first time!
The prince couldn't explain what he was feeling. He didn't even have an excuse to hide his shame. He just didn't order him to go to Nanyuan.

After today, all the princes and nobles will know that he, the prince, is not worthy of the emperor's heart.

Soetu...

Lingpu...

Without Suo'etu, he lost support in the court.

If Suo'etu was still here, with his integrity, he would directly ask about the matter in front of the emperor.

The prince does not need to go, but the prerequisite is that none of the princes will go, and that will not cause all kinds of speculation.

Now that only he, the prince, has not gone, and other princes have appeared, what do the people of the Eight Banners think of him, the prince?

It's a pity that there is no Suo'etu.

Without Ling Pu, he lost his eyes and ears. Even if he heard news from the outside, it was delayed; for the palace, it was even more dark.

There was someone in Chengqian Palace who could do something more than an ordinary concubine. They could harm the royal bloodline. As long as this matter was revealed, there would be bloodshed. As a result, the emperor's father returned to Beijing for more than a month, but he only took his concubine to Changchun Garden. , and does not dispose of other themes.

Which concubine is this protecting?

Neither he, the prince, nor the child in his concubine's belly could compare to the royal father's love for his concubine.

There was a fire hidden in the prince's heart, but it had nowhere to show up.

He also felt desolate and fearful, but he had no way to break the situation...
