Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Li Jiashi wholeheartedly wanted to give birth to a little elder brother for Yinreng. Hearing Yinreng's words, he didn't refute, but just smiled.

In the past few days, a pimple has almost formed on Yinreng's forehead, and she has seen it all. Now she looks up, because she is pregnant, Yinreng finally has a smile on her face .

"Prince, I heard that Uncle Tong Guo sent the medicine out of Beijing to the front line. In fact, it's because the emperor is ill, isn't it?"

Yinreng glanced at Li Jiashi: "Where did you hear these words?"

"That's what people in the palace say, that the emperor let Prince Yu and elder brother fight this battle, and the emperor is seriously ill, so he can only recuperate in the palace, waiting for Uncle Tong Guo to deliver medicine to him," Li said. Jia Shi said, "These words are not only rumored in the palace, but also outside. The matter of the emperor's illness is already an undisclosed secret, and everyone who should know knows about it."

Seeing that Yinfeng was silent, Li Jia said again: "Master Suo came to look for the crown prince last time, and he must have told the crown prince the news, right? If the emperor is really seriously ill, shouldn't the crown prince go see it?" Look at the emperor?"

From what happened last time, Li Jia could guess that Suo'etu must have done something to annoy the crown prince, but she still didn't know what happened.Recently, there were rumors in the palace that the emperor was seriously ill at the front, and that Uncle Tong Guo sent the medicine for the emperor's treatment. She guessed it based on the time, and she understood that the last time Suo'etu came to talk to the prince, he said What happened was that the emperor was seriously ill.

But she saw that the crown prince hadn't responded to the emperor's serious illness in the past few days, and she always felt that this was not good, so she couldn't help asking this question.

"Suo'etu did tell me about this matter, and Huang Ama's illness is indeed not serious, but Huang Ama didn't tell me that he was ill in his letter, and I naturally didn't mention it when I wrote back," Yinfeng said, "As for whether to go and see, do you think I can go? Although I am a father and son, I am also a monarch and minister. I am the crown prince, and without Huang Ama's order, do you think I can leave the capital to visit the sick?"

He knew that Kangxi was a person who valued affection, and he always liked his son to care about him and love him, but at the same time, Kangxi was also a person who valued rules.So under the balance of the two, he would rather pretend to be ignorant.

"If you don't have a will, you can't go," said Li Jiashi. "But, since the crown prince knows about this, why don't you ask a question in the letter? Even if the emperor didn't mention it, you can say it's from Mr. Suo." Where do you know, and then say a greeting, maybe the emperor will be happier!"

"If I knew about it from someone else, I would have written it in the letter, but I knew it from Suo'etu, so I couldn't write it," Yinfeng paused, then said, "If I said in the letter that Suo'etu What Tu told me, when the incident happens in the future, Huang Ama will definitely think that I conspired with Suo'etu. It's better not to mention it from the beginning."

Li Jiashi couldn't understand: "Conspiracy? Conspiracy for what?"

"I can't tell you this, anyway, it's not a good thing," Yinfeng said with a smile, "It's fine if I don't pay attention to Huang Ama's illness, but Huang Ama misunderstood that I don't care about him. But if Suo Ertu It's not a good thing to have contact with me during this period of time. If others mention this to Huang Ama, it's fine. When I come here, I can't admit it. This matter is no longer as simple as greeting Huang Ama gone."

If he stated in the letter that he learned of Kangxi's illness from Suo'etu, then when Kangxi knew about Suo'etu's doings in the future, he would believe that he conspired with Suo'etu, and even According to his cognition, he may have conspired actively; and if he did not write, even if Kangxi knew that Suo'etu had looked for him, his attitude would appear to be unpredictable because he had not admitted it. There was no way to determine whether there was collusion.

Suo'etu's privately made dragon robes and Suo'etu's privately telling him that Kangxi was ill are two different things; however, when these two things collide, it will be very difficult to handle.

Li Jiashi listened to Yinreng's seriousness and couldn't help asking: "Prince, can you tell me what Master Suo has done to offend you?"

"I said, I can't tell you about this, so don't ask," Yinfeng smiled, patted Li Jiashi's cheek, and said with a smile, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."

Yinfeng insisted on refusing to tell, so Li Jiashi had no choice but to stop asking.

A few days later, the chief eunuch consultant of Qianqing Palace came to Yuqing Palace to deliver an order, saying that Kangxi ordered the Crown Prince and San Age to visit Boluohetun together.

Only then did Yinfeng rush to Boluohetun together with his third elder brother Yinzhi.

After Kangxi drank the medicine recombined by the imperial doctor, his condition improved a lot, and his spirit improved a lot. When Yinreng and Yinzhi arrived at the camp, Kangxi was able to walk a few steps on the ground.

Seeing Yinreng and Yinzhi arrived, Kangxi was very happy, and after talking a lot with the two brothers, he let Yinzhi go to rest, and left Yinreng to continue talking.

"I want to ask you, did you know that I was ill when you received my order?"

Kangxi smiled and said, "Or did Suo'etu tell you about it when he first received the letter from the imperial doctor?"

Hearing Kangxi ask this question, Yinreng thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what Kangxi meant, but knowing that he was probing, he sighed lightly, and finally said: "Huihuang Ama, my son is from Suo'etu. Know about Huang Ama's illness."

"Oh," Kangxi nodded, and asked again, "I remember that your letter arrived together with Tong Guowei's letter, which means that you knew that I was ill before you wrote the letter. Why didn't you greet me in the letter?" What about two sentences? Make it look like you don’t know, I thought, you really don’t know!”

Yinfeng said: "It was not written in Huang Ama's letter to his son, and Suo Etu told his son that Huang Ama was ill, that was also his guess. At that time, there was no positive information to prove that Huang Ama was ill, so the son I feel that this cannot be written in the correspondence. The son can only believe it if Huang Ama tells the son himself."

Hearing this, Kangxi laughed: "I don't know who you learned from being cautious about everything! Can't you write a guess? I am very happy to see your greetings and concern, and I am still concerned about your illness." Good thing! But that's all, you don't write it down, it's not worth asking me to question you."

He said he didn't want to interrogate, but after a pause, Kangxi asked with a smile: "When Suo'etu saw you, besides telling you this, did he say anything else?"

Alarm bells were ringing in Yinfeng's heart, but he replied calmly: "No. Suo'etu only told his son this, and nothing else."

"Oh," Kangxi said with a smile, "Okay, you're tired from running all the way, go take a rest."

Yinfeng didn't leave immediately, he smiled and said to Kangxi: "Huang Ama, my son has to tell you some good news."

"What good news? Tell me."

Yinfeng laughed and said: "A few days ago, the imperial doctor diagnosed that Li Jiashi was pregnant." He didn't let anyone tell Kangxi about this in advance, just so that he could announce the good news to Kangxi face to face.

Kangxi laughed all of a sudden when he heard the words: "Not bad, not bad, this is really good news!"

Yinreng looked at Kangxi happily for a while, knelt down and went away.

After Yinreng left, the smile on Kangxi's face slowly disappeared. He looked at Yinreng's back and pondered. Was Suo Ertu so anxious to let him abdicate and make Yinreng the emperor?

Now that Yinreng has grown up, he has devoted a lot of effort. Every step of training Yinreng is based on the standards of the future emperor. He does not want the son he has worked so hard to raise to be spoiled by Suo'etu, but, Seeing that Yinreng and Suo'etu are so close, he is unwilling to have any conflicts with Yinreng because of Suo'etu. In fact, if he doesn't care about himself, Yinreng can still be emperor now.

If Suo'etu forced him so much, if he was unwilling to cause great turmoil in the court, he might really consider passing the throne to Yinfeng.If Yinreng's side Fujin Li Jiashi can give birth to a younger brother for Yinreng, then he will have the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the crown prince will have successors, and the situation is good.

It's just——Kangxi lowered his eyes, it's not time to think about it yet, the most important thing now is to destroy Galdan first.What's more, looking at Yinfeng's appearance, he didn't seem to be persuaded by Suo'etu. He felt that his judgment was correct. All of this was Suo'etu's unauthorized decision, and Yinfeng did not conspire with him.

Now that he has arrived at Boluohetun, he is not far from the war zone. Yinfeng really wants to go to the front line to have a look, but no matter how much he asks, Kangxi will not allow him to go.

"You are the crown prince, and you are in danger of the Qing Dynasty. How can you go to the battlefield lightly?" Kangxi disagreed with Yinfeng's going, saying that the crown prince is the most important thing and must be protected by heavy troops. Death and injury are inevitable, I have come here to personally conquer, how could Galdan not know the news of your coming here? I will not allow you to go, that would be too dangerous!"

Yinfeng agreed with a yes, and no longer asked for orders.

In these years, he has heard too many words like this - you are the crown prince, you are in the Qing Dynasty, you can't do this, and you can't do that.The more dangerous the place is, the more it is necessary to stay there and be heavily protected.And Kangxi obviously paid great attention to training their riding and archery skills. He said that the Qing Dynasty founded the country with riding and archery. The most unforgettable thing is the things passed down by the ancestors. Riding and archery kung fu, why can't he take a look?

Could it be that, as the crown prince, he is the most important thing, and he is not allowed to go to the battlefield, but can the emperor justifiably and personally conquer?Does this mean that if he becomes emperor in the future, he will be able to lead the army to fight in person, and then fight on the battlefield?

In fact, he understood what Kangxi said, but he just couldn't suppress the blood in the bones of a bloody man.When he arrived at the place where the war was fought, his eyes were full of killings and casualties, and he couldn't help but want to rush up and fight with people in close quarters. There was no intrigue or scheme, just a life-and-death fight, and he could vent his heart all these years. complaint of depression.

Yinfeng stood alone on a high place, looking at the blue sky and the endless grassland from a distance. In this season, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the weather is excellent.Under the wind blowing, Yinfeng didn't feel hot anymore.

De Zhu was the only one accompanying him.

Yinzhi saw this scene when he was riding a horse. He reined in his horse and looked at it from a distance for a while, then dismounted, handed the horse to the eunuch who was following him, and motioned him to go back, and then walked slowly to Yinfeng by himself.

Hearing footsteps, Yinreng looked back and saw that it was Yinzhi, so he smiled and said, "You're here. Take a good look. When we go back tomorrow, it may be difficult to see such a beautiful scenery."

Yinzhi smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Come along the way, and saw a lot of flowers blooming just right, why didn't the second brother pick some and take them back to give away? , the person who needs flowers will definitely like it too!"

Yinzhi smiled, with teasing flashes in his eyes, he still remembered that year on the Great Wall at Gubeikou, when Yinreng asked Dezhu to pick apricot blossoms.

Yinreng glanced at Yinzhi, and said with a smile, "Are you running here to make fun of me?"

He smiled and said, "I used to have that kind of heart and interest. Now, flowers are beautiful, but I don't have that kind of thought. Besides, it's a war right now. If I bring flowers, I have to take them with me." Going back in three copies is too eye-catching, and it’s not very good to talk about, so I won’t do that!”

"Speaking of which, the person who was able to get the second brother to send flowers at the beginning was really lucky, but now the second brother doesn't do this kind of thing anymore," Yinzhi smiled, and he approached Yinrong with a low smile, "I don't know I know, the apricot blossoms at the beginning were given by the second brother to Saoqin, I think the two side Fujins of the second brother have not had the flowers from the second brother, right?"

Yinreng clicked his tongue, turned to look at Yinzhi and said, "You came here just to talk about this? When did you become so gossip?"

"Oh, just kidding, second brother, don't be angry," Yinzhi smiled for a while, and then said, "Actually, I didn't mean to talk about this, I was just afraid that second brother would feel bored and uncomfortable, so I came to talk to second brother of."

Yinfeng smiled when he heard the words, and didn't talk to him, so he heard Yinzhi ask: "Second brother, do you know why Huang Ama doesn't agree with you to go to the front line?"

"Didn't Huang Ama say that? You were just watching, didn't you hear?" Yinfeng turned his head and continued to look at the sky and the clouds.

"I heard it, but that's not the real reason," Yinzhi also turned his head to look at the sky and the clouds, and he said slowly, "Huang Ama was blocked in Boluohetun due to illness, and the battle on the front line still has to be done." Fighting, Huang Ama let Prince Yu and elder brother take full responsibility, but this does not mean that this battle is up to them, and Huang Ama is in charge of planning. But if you go to the front line, second brother, you Do you represent yourself or Huang Ama? The crown prince is in front of the army, and the emperor is in the rear. Military affairs are changing rapidly. In terms of tactics, who should be in charge? I am afraid that by then, the second brother will have to become commander in chief."

"Second brother is a smart man, so he must know what I mean. Huang Ama personally conquered Galdan. This is a morale booster. The one who gets the limelight should be Huang Ama. If Huang Ama allows second brother to go to the front line , In this way, the second brother will be in the limelight. From now on, people will not remember Huang Ama's personal conquest. What they can remember is your second brother who took the lead. This kind of limelight is not a good thing for the crown prince Son."

"Don't go on talking, I understand everything," Yinfeng said, "I didn't think about it when I asked for the decree. It can be seen that I missed it."

Kangxi naturally didn't think that he was going to the front line to grab credit, but others might not think so. If he really went, then there would probably be more people who hated him in their hearts, right?

What's more, his move has surpassed the duty of the crown prince.What if Kangxi doesn't trust him?Yinzhi has already told the worst result.

"The real reason, actually, Huang Ama won't say it. I think, maybe the second brother and Huang Ama understand the real reason in their hearts, but you don't say it,"

Yinzhi said, "Second brother, Huang Ama can't destroy Galdan himself this time, he is determined to leave the credit for this trip to the eldest uncle and elder brother."

Yinfeng turned his head to look at Yinzhi and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you could see it so thoroughly. You are right, in Huang Ama's heart, she is determined to let the eldest uncle and elder brother do meritorious service. "

Yinzhi also smiled, looking at the vastness of the grassland, sighed: "Second brother, we have all grown up. What we see and think in our eyes and hearts is no longer so simple about right and wrong. In the future, we will deal with people's hearts for the rest of our lives, if I don't see it clearly, how can I help my second brother?"

"Why do you say such vicissitudes of life, as if you have experienced it all your life! You are only fourteen, how can you have a lifetime?"

Yinfeng laughed, patted Yinzhi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "However, you have indeed grown up."

Kangxi set a big marriage for Yinzhi next year. Yinzhi's Fujin was of a very high family status, and she was the daughter of Dutong and Yongqin Gong Pengchun.If we talk about it, Yinti's Fujin is not as good as Yinzhi Fujin's family.

If Yinzhi hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten that the current him has long since lost the thought of bringing flowers back to the palace for a woman just to make her smile.

From the high place where Yinfeng stood, he could see the gate of the camp from a distance. When the two brothers were talking here, soldiers were still patrolling the gate of the camp as usual, and there was nothing unusual.But when the two brothers were quiet for a while, they saw a group of people galloping towards the camp gate from a distance.

Yinfeng didn't know what happened, but he keenly felt that something serious happened, so he hurriedly took Yinzhi down from the high place and headed for the camp.

When he arrived at Kangxi's camp, he saw Kangxi sitting there with red eyes, silent, with a gloomy and sad look on his face, which Yinfeng had never seen before.

It turned out that it was the news from the front-Tong Guogang was killed in battle.

——In the early morning, the Qing army was divided into left and right wings, set up antler guns, and marched slowly.From noon to evening, Tong Guogang, the minister of the right wing, bravely swung his troops and rushed to the enemy's position;The Galdan army repelled them across the river, lying on the camel formation as a barrier.Tong Guogang led his army to attack Paozi River and rushed to the enemy's position first. He was shot by the Galdan army and died immediately.

——But the "Camel City" has been destroyed by the Qing army, and the formation has been broken into two.Tong Guowei, the minister of the left wing, led his troops to break in from the mountainside and break through the Galdan camp; the Qing army on the right wing was blocked by the mud, and turned back to set up camp at the original place.Galdan took advantage of the darkness of night and led the rest of his troops to escape.

This is the real-time battle report from the camp.

On the second day, Yinfeng saw the body of Tong Guogang sent back by Yinti.The blood-stained Tong Guogang made Yinreng think of the words "wrapped corpse in horse leather".

Kangxi has decreed that he and Yinzhi will return to the capital today, so there should be no delay. Even if such a major event happens, he and Yinzhi will still return to Beijing according to the original plan.Yinfeng came out from Boluohetun and walked a long way, the scene in his mind was still the scene of Kangxi touching the corpse with tears in his eyes.

It is said that because of his brother's death, Tong Guowei never retreated, until he was exhausted and fell into a coma.The atmosphere of mourning and flames of vengeance are unique to war zones.

And these have nothing to do with Yinfeng who returned to Beijing.
