Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

After the new year, the atmosphere in the court and the harem is still as depressing as it was at the end of last year.

His Majesty was determined to personally escort the late Empress Dowager's coffin to the underground palace for burial, and he would remain determined no matter how the princes, grandchildren, clan members and court officials tried to persuade him!

Honghui had advised him several times: "Your Maha, your body is not in good condition. You must not travel or overwork. Look how thin you have become recently. How can we, your children and grandchildren, not feel sorry for you?"

"I am fine, and my body is fine. The late Empress Dowager passed away suddenly, and I am unable to sleep or eat well..."

"Your body and hair are given by your parents. How can the two Guo Luoma Ma feel at ease if you abuse your body like this? How about your grandson walk for you?"

Kangxi shook his head without hesitation and rejected the proposal: "No need for you. As a son, you should fulfill your filial duty. Foot disease is nothing. Just bear with it." Even if he was seriously ill, he would still fulfill his filial duty as a son!

Even Prince Honghui, who had always been favored by His Majesty, was turned away. The rest of the people could only find other ways to dissuade His Majesty from his idea.

This persuasion lasted until early March.

"Your Majesty, you are not in good health, please take care of yourself!"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the people of the world, please revoke your order."

"Father Emperor, before she passed away, the Empress Dowager was still concerned about your health. If she saw you in such grief, how could the Empress Dowager feel at ease?"

"Please take back your order, Father. Your sons and I will personally send off the late Empress Dowager's coffin on your behalf."...

The princes, grandsons of the emperor, and ministers of the royal family knelt for three to five days and tried to persuade the man for a long time before he was finally able to stop.

However, Kangxi was truly saddened by the passing of the late Empress Dowager. In order to make up for the regret of not being able to personally send off the coffin, he could only express his filial piety in the posthumous title.

In mid-March, the late Empress Dowager was posthumously named Empress Xiaohui Renxian Duanyi Chunde Shuntian Xushengzhang.

In April, Empress Xiaohuizhang was buried in Xiaodong Mausoleum.

……

In early April, the funeral of Empress Xiaohuizhang was basically over, and the issue of sending troops to Tibet, which had been at a standstill, was brought up again.

On April 13, the emperor set out on a tour to inspect the areas beyond the Great Wall.

And until the end of June, the decision to send troops to Tibet was not finalized, and I heard that the court officials were still arguing about it!

It's been more than half a year, right? Honghui was speechless. With such efficiency, when could they send troops to Tibet?

At the beginning of July, he went to the military camp by chance. He was so furious that he wanted to have a fit on the spot.

The Eight Banners Army, which was so corrupt, wanted to defeat the Junggars in a dream! The Eight Banners Army, which was the main fighting force, was rotten from the root. No wonder it became like that in later generations. It turned out that there were signs at this time.

Fortunately, the hundred or so men under Fourteenth Uncle's command were still in good spirits. They did not show any laziness in their routine training, and their riding and archery skills also seemed to be okay, which barely gave Honghui some comfort.

Looking back, he muttered a few times angrily, and received the same angry look in return.

"They deceive their superiors and lie to their subordinates, and deceive the emperor. What do the leaders of the various banners do for a living? The children of the Eight Banners have become so corrupt, and they don't discipline them! It's a pity that the emperor is not in the capital now, so they let them fool around!"

Yinzhen had long known that the Eight Banners children were gradually becoming dissolute, but he had no idea that they would become so decadent that it was unbearable to watch.

Honghui found out everything clearly: "There are very few people who can use a ten-stone bow, and not many who can use an eight-stone bow. Most of them can only use five or six stones. Can this be called Baturu?" Don't laugh your head off!

Yinzhen's face turned pale and blue, and he wished he could discipline the so-called Eight Banners Army. They were only slightly stronger than him, who was only four and a half strength. How could this be acceptable?

"No wonder we haven't been able to subdue the Junggars for more than three years. That's why!" Yinzhen laughed in anger, saying sarcastically, "If the Eight Banners Army can't even bend their bows and mount their horses one day, that would be admirable. The Qing Dynasty will perish in their hands."

No way! There is only one fundamental reason for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and that is that it refused to open its eyes to the world!

Of course, he couldn't say this! Honghui suppressed his anger in his heart, but said a few words of advice: "Father, calm down. The Eight Banners Army has been corrupt for a long time. It will not be saved in a short time. Now is the most important time to send troops to Tibet. This is not a good time to rectify the Eight Banners Army."

Yinzhen pondered for a long time, and finally sighed heavily: "Ah! Well, the emperor's health has just gradually improved, and he can't be angry anymore. The corruption of the Eight Banners Army has to be suppressed. After all, defeating Junggar is the most important thing. I just don't know if we can win this time? After all, the Eight Banners Army is so corrupt..."

Honghui was unsure, but he vaguely remembered that Tibet seemed to have been recovered by his fourteenth uncle, and Nian Gengyao seemed to be involved in it. However, Nian Gengyao should not have led any troops this time. He was only responsible for transporting food and military equipment. Yes, that's right.

If I had known this earlier, I would have let Uncle Fourteen lead the troops to retake Tibet!

"I heard that even the Bordered Yellow Banner and the Plain Yellow Banner have shown signs of abandoning their ambitions to pleasure and wanting to have fun, and the soldiers of the other banners will be even worse. If the generals leading the troops are strict in military discipline, then sooner or later they will be able to recover Tibet and defeat the Junggar Khanate. But if they are replaced by those who just muddle through, won't the silver and grain that the national treasury has worked so hard to accumulate be squandered?

Isn't this what happened to Xi Zhu and others in recent years? No matter how good a leader is, he can't stop his soldiers from working hard! "

Yinzhen sneered: "What kind of capable general is Xi Zhu? He turned a good rebellion suppression into a war of recovery. He cannot escape responsibility for the fall of Tibet! As a general, not being able to lead troops in battle is a sin."

But are there any capable generals in the court?

As soon as he was thinking about it, he heard his eldest son excitedly say: "In my opinion, these commanders and lieutenants of the Eight Banners are not as good as Fourteenth Uncle! The soldiers led by Fourteenth Uncle are not only disciplined, but also full of spirit. They look completely different from the other camps."

"Really?" Yinzhen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the always reckless Fourteenth Master would have such ability?

"I saw it with my own eyes, it's absolutely certain! I heard that Fourteenth Uncle has only been in the military for two or three years, and has only been leading troops for a year. Maybe he is a natural born general!"

"It's too late. The fourteenth brother is a child at heart and has a reckless temper. He can train soldiers, but forget about leading them." He was afraid that he would repeat the same mistake made by his eldest brother when he attacked Galdan last year, which ended in humiliation and failure!

If Honghui didn't know the future, he would have thought the same thing. Taking risks does require courage.

But since he already knew the ability of his Fourteenth Uncle, how could he ignore it? He also wanted to let his Fourteenth Uncle contain the arrogant Nian Gengyao!

"Then do you think there is anyone suitable for the current court? He must be capable and able to suppress all kinds of armies. The ability to lead troops is secondary. Don't you think so?"
