My father-in-law is Kangxi

Ninth brother didn't bother anymore, he was just trying, if it works, let tenth brother have a good memory.

Kangxi put down the two confessions, looked at the two of them, and said, "Take a rest for a long time, and start working hard tomorrow..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Brother Jiu with disgust, and said, "You are not allowed to ride in the car anymore, why are you so delicate?"

Thinking back yesterday from Baiwang Mountain, tenth elder brother, thirteenth elder brother, and fourteenth elder brother all rode horses, only ninth elder brother "sneaked" into Fujin's carriage, and it was too late to stop him.

what is it like.

If things go on like this, Kangxi feels that he has to think about sneaking back to the study for the ninth elder brother, and re-learn riding and shooting with the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.

Brother Jiu said with a smile: "The son will go there early tomorrow, so as not to be exposed to the sun..."

Kangxi snorted softly and said nothing else.

It doesn't have to be that brother Jiu is exposed to the sun. If that is the case, he will suffer from heat stroke and will have to find an excuse to ask for leave.

"Okay, kneel down..."

Kangxi put down the booklet and said.

On the side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not appropriate to make drastic rectifications, but they will not be allowed to continue like this.

It is imperative to find an appropriate person to go there, who will be in charge of the Yushi Yamen and the Punishment Department.

It's just that there is no suitable candidate for the time being, so we have to look again.

The two brothers agreed and withdrew.

Right at the gate of Qingxi Bookstore, a guard brought Qi Xi over.

"father in law……"

Brother Nine hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why are you here? Is this a summon from Ama Khan?"

Qi Xi bowed first and said, "Jiuye, Shiye..."

Then, he replied to Brother Nine, saying: "It is indeed the emperor who summoned..."

Brother Jiu still wants to ask, but Liang Jiugong has already come out to call for someone.

Brother Nine waited for half a quarter of an hour, but no one came out, and then he followed Brother Ten out of Xiaodongmen.

He thought for a while, and said to Elder Brother Ten: "Ama Khan seems to have taken a fancy to Heishan, but Heishan has already opened an account, so he is no longer a member of the account. Do you still need to say hello to father-in-law?"

Elder Brother Shi shook his head and said: "Maybe there are other things. If you use Montenegro, now that you are working with Brother Jiu, Khan Ama should directly mention it to Brother Jiu."

Brother Jiu frowned slightly, and said: "I know it's a pity for Heishan to be a bodyguard, but he is here at the age of [-], so why should he be arranged to be a bodyguard in Qianqing Palace?"

For young people, that may be an honor; but when they are old, the gatekeepers are also working hard.

Elder Brother Ten couldn't help laughing, and said: "Brother Ninth, you think too much, even if Ama Khan looks at the Black Mountain guards, she won't think about being transferred to be the imperial guard..."

The guard with the sword in front of the imperial court cannot be done without a confidant.

No matter how brave Montenegro is, the history is too complicated. The descendants of the Zhenglan Banner rebels were sent to the Dong E family of Zhenghong Banner as slaves for half their lives.

Don't even think about the imperial guards if you are not from the upper three banners.

Brother Jiu said: "If it's not about Montenegro, what is it for?"

He can't guess.

Brother Ten couldn't think of the reason for a moment.

Qingxi Bookstore.

Qi Xi came in and invited Ann, and Kangxi gave him a seat.

Qi Xi sat halfway next to the stool, with a worried look on his face.

Is it related to flag affairs?

Faka, the deputy governor, was transferred to Xianghongqi to serve as the deputy governor of Manchuria, and there was a vacancy for the deputy governor of Zhenghongqi Manchuria.

But isn't the matter of the selection of the governor the Sacred Heart's arbitrary matter?
In the early days, the candidates for the Dutong and the Deputy Dutong were the Banner, but later they were changed to the left and right wings, and now there is no distinction between the left and right wings.

The Dutong and the Deputy Dutong are no longer lacking in the banner, and are no longer divided into banner membership.

The next generation of Dong E's family still has hope if they want to be the capital and deputy capital again; it may be difficult to become the capital and vice capital of the Red Flag.

Everyone could see that the emperor was meddling in the affairs of the flag and weakening the rights of the flag owners of the lower five flags, but no one choked on it.

The emperor has become the real leader of the Eight Banners.

Maybe it's a private matter, brother Jiu got into trouble again?
Seeing Qi Xi like this, Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and said: "Aiqing, don't be nervous, I sent you here because I want to ask you about Zhong Shaogong."

middle bow...

The name was a bit vague, Qi Xi thought for a while before he realized it, and said embarrassedly, "This is Jiufu Jin's name when he was young. It has been more than ten years, and the slaves can't remember it."

Kangxi said with a straight face: "Why are you so confused? Since you have improved your bow and arrow, why don't you want to report to the Ministry of War?"

Qi Xi hurriedly stood up, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, that is a child's bow, just like a child's toy, just listening to Jiufu Jin's childish words, here is wrong, there is picky, the servant modified it randomly, although it was enlarged later Even if it is made into a five-strength bow, it can't compare to the strength of the Qing bow!"

Since ancient times, weapons have only been improved by replacing the weak with the strong. How can there be any reason to replace the strong with the weak?
Kangxi's face was sad, and he said: "The Eight Banners have been abandoned for too long, and they are different from the Eight Banners before entering the customs. The eight-strength bow that was used in the Eight Banners army before can only be shot by archers, and everyone else is a bow with less than seven strength... ..."

The strength of the bow is related to the strength of the bannerman. Now that the strength is insufficient, there are many people who are difficult to use the bow, and even many bannermen have given up riding and shooting.

People in the Eight Banners send their sons to wear armor, more for money and food.

"We can't let them go to waste..."

Speaking of this, Kangxi already brought melancholy: "Since it is difficult to get started with the Qing bow, then change to an improved bow, and we can't let their force relax."

Qi Xi listened, his expression unchanged, but he felt strange in his heart.

In this way, even in practice, the combat power can't be compared with the past. Why do you think it's just deceiving yourself?
If you want the Eight Banners to regain their combat power, shouldn't you be promoting weapons that are better than the Qing bow, such as muskets or something?

But there was shame on his face, and he said: "The slave is really confused, he didn't think of this."

Kangxi pondered, and said: "Since you know your mistake, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, cooperate with the Ministry of War to make new bows, and promote new bows among Zhenghongqi newcomers."

Qi Xi respectfully agreed.

Kangxi thought of Montenegro, and said: "It's a pity to be a mansion guard since I'm good at archery. I will reward you with a four-rank crown, walk with the flag, and promote new bows..."

Montenegro is now the second-class royal guard, from the fourth rank.

This is a step up.

After hearing this, Qi Xi didn't respond immediately, but said: "Your Majesty, the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion..."

The rest seemed to be young, not one old.

It is no problem for the young guards to follow the errands, but it is also worrying.

Kangxi thought for a while, and said: "I will choose the right person to go there."

Only then did Qi Xi accept the order, and retreated.

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, he is really a good father-in-law, I'm afraid Brother Jiu will suffer.

I used Brother Jiu alone, so I reminded myself to make up for Brother Jiu.

I really love my daughter.

He remembered what Concubine Yi had said yesterday, that Princess Kejing couldn't delay any longer, and if he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he would summon the princess to see her.

If the son-in-law really despises the princess, then he can reward him with his King Khan hat, or he can take it off.

Kangxi is also a man, so he can probably guess what the forehead is thinking.

Although the three tribes of Khalkha are attached in the above table, they are different from Monan Mongolia in that they retain the title of King Khan, and the court did not send officials there.

A few years ago, the Tuxietu tribe took advantage of the civil strife in the Zhasaktu tribe and forcibly occupied the territory of Zhasaktu Khan. Later, knowing that Zhasaktu Khan was preparing for war and wanted to attack Tuxietu, he acted first and raided the following Zhasak Tuhan, who was in collusion with Galdan, also killed Galdan's envoys. This is the reason why Galdan conquered Khalkha and launched the "War of Revenge".

The three tribes of Khalkha went south to take refuge and were completely attached.

When Junggar was destroyed, the three tribes of Khalkha regained the lost land, and the Tuxietu tribe still had the largest territory and the most people.

Tushetuhan is the uncrowned king of Khalkha.

The forehead inherits King Khan, and he is young, who knows what his relationship with the court will be like in the future.

Kangxi had to rethink how to deal with the Tuxietu Department who had changed King Khan.

At this time, it was time to eat, and the people from the garden dining room came to serve the meal.

When the imperial meal was served, Kangxi glanced at the regular dishes on the table, and didn't want to move his chopsticks much.

He looked at it once, pointed to a lily bacon porridge, and ordered Liang Jiugong to say, "Appreciate Concubine Yi..."

Pointing to another fried bean curd dish with garlic sprouts, he said, "Concubine Shanghui..."

Liang Jiugong responded, but did not leave immediately, Kangxi indeed pointed to another Sixi Shaomai, and said: "Reward and concubine..."

Liang Jiugong took the little eunuch with him, and went to enjoy the food with a food box.

After Kangxi took a few bites, he thought of Concubine Yi.

Elder Seventeen is already four years old, Concubine Yi treats her as her own and takes care of her for three years.

He couldn't bear to separate the mother and child.

But the seventeenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother are too close in age, only two years apart, so it takes a lot of effort to look after them.

Kangxi remembered what the queen mother said, that Concubine Shuhui wanted to raise Gege.

Elder Seventeen is already four years old. He was well-behaved and sensible raised by Concubine Yi. As long as he survives the vaccination, he will be considered a successor.

In that case, in another year and a half, Elder Seventeen will be able to move Elder Brother's place and enter the study.

Kangxi recalled the joy of yesterday's trip, and decided to wait until the seventeenth elder brother got the pox before talking about it...

North Fifth Institute, main house.

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu sat on the left and right side of Qi Xi.

It turned out that when Qi Xi retreated from the imperial front and came out of Xiaodongmen, He Yuzhu was waiting outside Xiaodongmen.

Although the Prince's Mansion is not far from the Dutong Mansion, but because Shu Shu was in confinement before, the father and daughter also talked about it, and they hadn't seen each other for three months.

Seeing the baby girl, Qi Xi couldn't help frowning and said, "You're too skinny, how can this work, Ama asked someone to order ten cows out of the mouth, and one will be sent to Beijing in the next month..."

After hearing this, Shu Shu couldn't help being moved, and said: "Ama, don't have one cow a month, just ask someone to bring it all, and raise it in the village. There are many things over there, and there is not enough manpower. A few more oxen to pull the plow Just right."

After hearing this, Qi Xi disapproved, and said, "That's for you to eat, it's too eye-catching to keep in the village."

Shu Shudao: "Daughter has eaten hundreds of catties of beef in the past six months. I don't want to eat it for the time being. I don't like chewing anymore. I hate grinding my teeth. Now I like to eat mutton and pork..."

Qi Xi said without saying a word: "Okay, okay, don't eat if you don't like it, and ask someone to send it to Beijing together, then Ama will order sheep for you next time, and you want lambs for half a year. As for Zhuangzi, you If there is a shortage of manpower, choose a few more rooms from home..."
