Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]
Chapter 34
On October 37, [-]th year of Kangxi, early winter came in the Qing Dynasty, but it was a season of spring in Australia. It was just an ordinary day for the Qing Dynasty, but for people in the continent of Australia, This is a very special day.
The continent of Australia is officially established, and a brand new country appears in the eyes of the world!
Yanhuanggang, also known as Yanjing, is full of crowds today, and all the people are going to the square in front of the most magnificent building in Yanhuanggang. This is a solemn and beautiful palace group. Work is the dream of countless people, and the people who work here will also be envied by countless people.
This palace group was built in the second year after Tong Guogang arrived. This is just an office, and no one lives here. Even if Tong Guogang became the first emperor of Xia Huaguo, his family members would not live in the palace, and all lived outside. inside a private residence.
Tong Yizhen and An Ge stood in the tallest hall behind the palace, looking at the excitement hundreds of meters away.
An Ge has grown up and is taller than his mother standing next to his mother. Since he started practicing at the age of six, in the past ten years, his cultivation base has already established a foundation, and his cultivation base is only one realm smaller than his mother's.
"It's very lively, very grand!" Yun Yao said enthusiastically, unlike Tong Yizhen who became more and more quiet, she seemed to always be interested in lively things.
An Ge silently glanced at Yunyao: "Master, actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question."
Yunyao glanced lightly at An Ge, she felt a bit disgusted with this apprentice who got more puffy as she grew up, and it was the one Tong Yizhen forcefully forced her on. When she was young, she could still say cute with a paralyzed face, but when she grew up, she was no longer cute. !
"I have the right not to answer!" Yun Yao was not fooled.
Tong Yizhen couldn't help laughing, but An Ge didn't care about Master's words, and still asked: "How old are you? Are you actually underage?"
Yun Yao gave An Ge a blank look: "I'm still a child at heart! Why don't you say that I'm seventy or eighty, I might still get angry, underage is a kind of compliment to me!"
Angus!
The two were arguing. Upstairs in Taihe, Tong Guogang announced to all the people in Australia: Xia Huaguo was established!
The crowd in the square was a sensation, and all auspicious words were shouted out. After the people were excited, Tong Guogang issued a declaration as the first founding emperor and first leader of Xia Huaguo, expressing his expectations and prospects for the land of Australia in the future Plan, he hopes that the people of Australia will always live in a peaceful and healthy environment. This is the goal of his emperor and the goal of the latecomers.
The quarrel between Yun Yao and An Ge ended, and seeing that the enthronement ceremony was about to end, she replaced Tong Yizhen.
"The first year of Kaiyuan." Tong Yizhen murmured, this is the beginning of the Tong family's glory, and after that, she and An Ge will also withdraw from the public.
Five years ago, Tong Yizhen and An Ge basically moved to live on an island. The island was surrounded by hidden reefs, and no ships had ever visited it. Only the birds in the sky landed on the island, witnessing the existence of the island. .After Tong Yizhen transformed the island, the island has been covered in mist all year round, and the hidden reefs around the island have also become the cornerstone of protection. However, with the jade charm given by Tong Yizhen, the Tong family can still enter if something happens.
Tong Guowei did not give up on the matter of cultivation. He tested everyone in Tong's family, and the newborn child was the same. Unfortunately, no one could light up the crystal ball in Tong Guowei's hand.
"Mother, the third uncle is here." An Ge saw someone coming towards the Palace of Picking Stars in his sight, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be Longkodo.
Longkodo is almost 30 years old. He is already married. His wife Su Mingyue was brought back when he traveled back to the Qing Dynasty. The Su family was originally a long-standing local family. The decrease, and later the Su family only recovered a little bit, but because the local prefect took a fancy to Su Mingyue's beauty and dedicated it to the prince in advance. In desperation, Master Su and Mrs. Su briefly asked about Longkodo's family background for the sake of their daughter's safety, and betrothed their daughter to Longkodo. Longkodo also felt shocked, thinking that this marriage should not be so hasty , he simply took the Su family away, and a year after returning to Yanjing, Longkodo and Su Mingyue held their wedding.
"Big sister, An Ge!" Longkodo ran up to the top floor panting. The Hall of Reaching Stars is the tallest building in Yanhuanggang, and there are thousands of steps in the stairs. Take a breath.
Tong Yizhen raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing here?" Shouldn't you be accompanying me in the Taihe Tower?Longkodo is the number one heir, shouldn't he be busy showing his face in Taihe Building?
Before Xia Huaguo established the country, Tong Guogang and the clan elders had already discussed the selection method of the next emperor. Only the sons of the emperor were no longer eligible. During the emperor's tenure, heirs were selected, as long as they were between 15 and 40 years old. All Tong family men can participate in the assessment, and five heirs will be selected based on the results of the assessment.
Last year, Longkodo was No. 1 in the heir selection and assessment results, so he was the first heir, the second heir was Fa Hai, the third heir was De Kexin, and the fourth heir It was Tong Ruixing. He was the second son of Tong Guosheng. The fifth heir was Tong Qiu. He was the grandson of a clan elder. Their results were jointly supervised by many people, and there was absolutely no cheating.
There are five heirs in total. Whether they can become the next emperor depends on what the heirs do next.The first successor only has an advantage over the later successors. If Longkodo thinks that he can sit back and relax as the first successor, then he is very wrong. Compared with the method of setting up the prince in the Qing Dynasty, this method is Give everyone the opportunity to compete openly and aboveboard. If one of the five people secretly tricks the others, then this person will be expelled from the ranks of heirs.
This succession law is effective in curbing internal strife, although not absolute, but it has tried to do the least harm.
Longkodo said aggrievedly: "Sister, do you dislike me?"
Regarding the younger brother's accusation, Tong Yizhen just took one more look at him, and Long Kedo smiled and said: "The previous things are over, I will take this opportunity to be lazy."
Last year, when he participated in the heir assessment, Longkodo also thought deeply about it. He does not deny that he has a strong desire for the throne of the emperor, but the emperor's rights in Xia Huaguo are more fettered than in the Qing Dynasty. Considering how to build Xiahua Kingdom well, so as not to become a dessert in the mouths of future powers, the position of emperor is more a responsibility than a right.
Ever since he became the number one heir, Longkodo has been very busy. Sometimes he really regrets it, especially when he sees his elder brother and Qingyuan so leisurely, he feels that it is actually quite good to be a dude , Take his wife and children to the beach every day to blow some air, how relaxed and comfortable, God knows how long it has been since he took his wife out to play?
Longko gave his nephew a blank look: "An Ge, why are you so tall?"
An Ge silently glanced at the third uncle: "Third uncle, you are not short, just shorter than me!" Long Kedo is 1.8 meters tall, and he is not short. He is a famous handsome man in Yanhuanggang.
Hearing what his nephew said, Longkodo rolled his eyes at him again. Ever since he was a child, his nephew has hardly said a word that made him feel comfortable.
Yun Yao couldn't help laughing, An Ge's words always made people angry, especially Long Kodo, but the two nephews and uncles wouldn't be angry at all, just let it go.
After coming down from the Palace of Reaching the Stars, the three of them came to the garden of the palace. Although the palace does not live in the emperor's family, the garden is very beautifully built, especially in spring, when the flowers are blooming, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Longkodo took his nephew to find his father and others, while Tong Yizhen found his mother Hesheli and others in the garden. Hesheli was also over [-] years old, but after coming to Australia, his children grew up and lived a good life. Feeling at ease, she is in good spirits, and she is not too far behind a lady in her forties.
The eldest aunt, Guerjia, is in high spirits, and Tong Guogang is the emperor, so she is the most honorable woman in Xia Huaguo.Although I still feel a little regretful in my heart, why didn't her son and grandson become the heir?
"Auntie, congratulations!" Tong Yizhen congratulated Guerjia with a light smile, and Guerjia nodded with a smile.
Mrs. Guarja was busy communicating with other wives, and Mrs. Hesheli took her daughter to talk elsewhere, "Your aunt has been at ease these years."
Tong Yizhen laughed and said, "Isn't Mother feeling at ease?"
Because there were few women in Australia at the beginning, the ratio of men to women is still a big problem even now. After Tong Guogang and others came to Australia, in order to set an example, they released all the women in the backyard, even those who had children. For example, Fa Hai’s aunt, Qiu Shi, was only in her twenties at the time. After she was free, she got married two years later, but her son Fa Hai is still a child of the Tong family, which does not affect his status. Now the Qiu family is also in her forties. At the age of [-], the new family has two children, a happy marriage, and a harmonious relationship with their son Fa Hai.
So how are Guarjas and Hersheys unhappy?Not only are the two of them happy, but from the perspective of reality, Tong's men also had to agree to this move. The marriage law monogamy has been implemented since then, although there are always some men who can't control the two meat in the middle of the thigh, or the women They are dedicated to climbing high, but their attitude is clear. After more than ten years, people have regarded monogamous marriage as the norm.
After the founding of the Xia Hua Kingdom, the laws will be more detailed, and the Marriage Law will also add many detailed rules.
Hesheli gave her daughter a nasty look: "You can only know how to tease a mother if you are poor-mouthed."
At night, after Haishi, except for the lights left under the eaves, the rest of the palace was completely dark. Tong Guogang had been busy for a day, and after finishing all the things, he returned home to rest.
Tong Yizhen and An Ge are waiting in the mansion. Now the Tong family's house is no longer the original courtyard house. After expansion and planning in Yanjing, a more luxurious house has been born. Even if the house where the emperor of a country lives is the most luxurious house, It is also the most secure.
"Uncle, An Ge and I will go back to Liuxian Island tonight." After embarking on the road of cultivation, they really lost interest in mortal affairs. If it wasn't for the Tong family's major event, they would not have come back.
Tong Guogang didn't keep him either, knowing that his niece and grandson were different from them after all. Now he has reached the top of a road that was unimaginable before. If he was too extravagant, this blessing might slip away from his hands.
"Okay, although uncle's words are a little redundant, but I still want to tell you to be careful in everything, and come back to see me and your parents when you are free."
Tong Yizhen nodded: "Uncle, take care of your health, and leave more things to Fa Hai and Long Kodo to do."
Every time Tong Yizhen came back, he would bring a lot of health-preserving pills. Uncle is over seventy years old, his body is still strong, and his appearance is no worse than that of a 60-year-old man. This is also the credit of the health-care pills.
"Don't worry, Xiu'er. Uncle still wants to live for a few more years. I will step down from this position in five years, ten years at the most. At that time, Longkodo will be mature enough to take on the important task of a country." Tong Guogang still said to his nephew Hopeful, although his son Fa Hai is not bad, but his heart is not as good as his nephew.
After another conversation, Tong Yizhen and An Ge said goodbye and left. They had told Hesheli and Tong Guowei in advance that they would leave here and go back to Liuxian Island.
After that, the mother and son practiced in Liuxian Island with peace of mind, learning more about the cultivation world in between, so as to prepare for their future journey to the cultivation world.
On Yanjing's side, ten days later, Tong Guogang appointed Long Kedo, Fa Hai, Tong Qiu and three other ministers to go to the Qing Dynasty together, formally submit the letter of credence to the Qing Dynasty, and establish diplomatic relations and friendship with the Qing Dynasty.
He is friendly enough to the Qing Dynasty, and these are the three heirs of Xia Huaguo.
Liuxian Island is in the waters that Australia must pass through to the Qing Dynasty. After An Ge found out, he applied to his mother. He wanted to go to the Qing Dynasty to have a look, to see that man!
Tong Yizhen agreed without thinking, and letting An Ge go was also to end the father-son relationship between An Ge and Kangxi, and to prevent this matter from becoming a lingering demon in An Ge's heart.
There was an extra person behind him for no reason, and there was still breathing on his neck. Thinking of some unspeakable scenes, Longkoduo was almost not scared out of his wits.
"An Ge?!" Looking back at his nephew's expressionless face again, Longkodo was so angry that he almost screamed up to the sky.
An Ge rubbed her ears: "Third Uncle, I can hear you, did you scare me? I'm so sorry!"
Longko gave him a blank look: "I don't accept an apology without sincerity!"
Fa Hai and Tong Qiuben lived in the next cabin, they heard the sound, and seeing the scene where the uncle and nephew confronted each other, they couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Why did An Ge come here? Are you going to Qing Dynasty too?" Fa Hai and Tong Qiu sat on the low stools beside them. They went to Qing Dynasty because they had official business, so what would An Ge do?Did the cousin ask An Ge to go to Daqing to meet Kangxi?
It was only then that Longkodo remembered this serious question, stared at An Ge, and asked, "Do you want to see Kangxi?"
An Ge had nothing to hide, and nodded: "Well, it's time to see what he looks like." Knowing what the third uncle was worried about, he said, "I was only a year old when I left, and he couldn't recognize me. of."
The three of Longkodo thought the same thing. An Ge left the palace at such a young age. If Kangxi could recognize him, he would be able to praise the deep love between father and son!But besides the father-son affection for the prince, does Kangxi have such affection for other sons?
Five ships arrived in Macau in mid-November. Because Kangxi paid more attention to the sea these years, the cities along the coast have strengthened their security, and Macau is even more important.
Long Kedo and others were received by General Hong, the general of the Navy stationed in Macau, and learned that they were the visiting envoys of the Xia Hua Kingdom in Australia, which immediately attracted General Hong's attention.
The New World Australia is not a secret along the coast, and General Hong naturally knows that Australia has established a new country, Xia Huaguo.
General Hong didn't know the origins of Longkodo, Fa Hai, and Tong Qiu. He didn't know anything about the Tong family. In fact, more than ten years had passed since the incident, and the Tong family had disappeared from the capital.
However, when General Hong's memorial was handed over to Kangxi's imperial court, Kangxi was so shocked that his spirit paled, and another thunderbolt struck him, making him wonder if he remembered it wrong?
Didn't Longkodo and Fahai die in that earthquake, due to the spread of smallpox?They can go a few months earlier than their cousin.
Kangxi's heart skipped a beat. Longkodo and Fahai were still alive, which meant that the two uncles had already planned to leave... The more he thought about Kangxi, the more difficult it was for him to maintain his composure.
"Liang Jiugong, you said that a dead person suddenly appeared, what kind of truth is behind this?" Kangxi's right hand was bulging with veins, and with too much force, the pen was cut in two with a snap.
Liang Jiugong raised his eyes and glanced at the memorial in the emperor's hand. This memorial was about Xia Huaguo. He still knew about Xia Huaguo, and it was the country established by the Tong family.
But what is meant by the dead?
"Longkodo, Fahai, they are still alive." Kangxi said word by word: "Longkodo is the first successor of Xiahua Kingdom, Fahai is the second successor, and Tongqiu is the fifth successor. "
He doesn't need to know who Tong Qiu is, he only knows that Long Kedo and Fa Hai are his cousins!
Liang Jiugong couldn't hide his surprise, Longkodo and Fahai?Isn't that the son of the two uncles?Didn't he die from smallpox?
Xia Huaguo was sent as an envoy to the Qing Dynasty in the name of a country, and this matter should naturally be managed by Honglu Temple, so Xia Huaguo became the focus of heated discussions in the capital.
Some people don't know Longkodo and Fahai, but there are always some people who remember it clearly. Such people are either friends or opponents, because knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles.
Han ministers don't care about the superfluous identities of Long Kedo and others, they only recognize the status of Xia Huaguo's heirs. If the other party comes friendly, then Daqing will also be friendly.
The Manchu Eight Banners were the most shocked, especially Suo'etu, who had forgotten about the Tong family. After all, the Tong family withdrew under the eyes of so many people in the Qing Dynasty, which was a great shame for them.
The arrival of Longkodo and Fahai, who are now alive, simply refreshed the lower limit of their incompetence once again.
"Tong Guogang, you can do it. You have been planning for so long. Now that you have become the king of a country, I have nothing to say when I lose to you." The positions are different. Now that all the princes have grown up, the crown prince's position as the crown prince has become less stable because of the emperor's ambiguous attitude. He has to worry about the prince and the Hesheli family.
The imperial edict arrived soon, and General Hong would send troops to send Xia Huaguo envoys to the capital. Of course, Longkodo and the others brought five hundred guards, and the guards would naturally follow them into the capital.
In mid-December, when the mighty procession arrived in the capital, officials from Honglu Temple personally greeted them at the gate of the city, and then arranged a dozen or so people including Longkodo, Fahai, Tongqiu, and An Ge to receive foreign guests at Honglu Temple. The compound is courteous and thoughtful, and five hundred guards are stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.
Naturally, Kangxi will not meet Longkodo and his party so soon. Longkodo and others are just waiting, but it is still a lot of fun to revisit the old place.
For example, Longkodo knew many Eight Banners boys before. When he saw them, he could still recognize them at a glance, and even waved his hands very ostentatiously. That Eight Banners boy looked at Longkodo suspiciously.
"Akton, long time no see, don't you know me? I'm Longkodo!" Longkodo stepped forward, and the two brothers seemed to put their arms around Acton's shoulders.
The next moment, Acton said in shock: "You, you, aren't you dead?"
Long Kedo didn't mind either, he laughed and said, "I'm alive again!"
Fa Hai and Tong Qiu felt that his cousin was too bad, as if he was afraid that the people in the capital would not know that Long Kedo was still alive.
An Ge didn't care about the bad taste of the third uncle, he just looked at the strange capital curiously, he had no impression of the capital at all, his only earliest impression was the fire, but he didn't remember it at all. Afraid, but also full of curiosity looking at the people outside the firelight, he seemed to remember that he felt strange, why the faces of the people outside the firelight were so ugly?It's good for him to stay with his mother.
Next, Long Kedo really showed his sense of existence. All the Banners were talking about the third master of the Tong family who had come back to life. At the same time, he was also the emperor's cousin. The Tong family who had disappeared for more than ten years reappeared.
For the princes, this is a bit complicated. The elder brother Yinfeng and the prince Yinreng who vaguely know about that part of the past are completely unaware of the other three elder brothers and fifth elder brothers, let alone the later ones. Brothers.
The prince had no choice but to ask his uncle about the Tong family. How dare Suo Etu tell the prince all of them, and only picked some to tell the prince.The elder brother has a mother and concubine to ask, but Concubine Hui told her son everything, but when the elder brother heard this, his heart burst into flames. Why did Khan Ama only see the second child?
"Yinyi, the mother concubine originally refused to tell you about this, but she still told you, don't compete with the crown prince, that position is not your turn anyway." Concubine Hui advised her son earnestly, but the elder brother Can you hear me?Was he just trying to win Kangxi's favor?Does he not want the throne?
The other brothers all asked their mothers and concubines, but how did the concubines who entered the palace after 21 years of Kangxi know?Like the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother's mother and concubine are completely ignorant of the inside story.
On the contrary, Wu Ya's luck was good. She still gave birth to her only son, the fourteenth elder brother Yinti, in the 27th year of Kangxi. I feel satisfied.
When Brother Fourteen asked her about the Tong family, she suddenly remembered that the woman had been away for 19 years, so she still hadn't forgotten her.
In the early years, the emperor recognized a daughter of the clan as an adopted daughter and raised her under the knees of Concubine Shu. She knew that it was her child, and seeing that she was living well, and she was married two years ago in the capital, this might be the emperor's It's good to make up for my daughter.
Longkodo took his younger brother and nephew to play in the capital, showing his presence all the time, making the capital in a very strange atmosphere.
Kangxi could hear news of Longkodo every day. Today he competed with this Eight Banners family, and tomorrow he had a wine fight with that Eight Banners family.
He was thinking about his uncle's intentions, why Longkodo and Fahai were sent as envoys after the founding of the country, and he didn't believe that Xia Huaguo had no other envoys.
The 37th year of Kangxi's New Year's Eve palace banquet was particularly grand, and it was also very exciting. The court and harem were all looking forward to this reunion of cousins. How would the emperor react?
On New Year's Eve, the north wind howled, and there was heavy snow.
Longkodo and the others followed the status of envoys and entered the palace according to the arrangement of Honglu Temple. They first waited in a palace, waiting for Kangxi's call.
Probably around the time of Xu, the ministers of Ganquan Palace and their families, the clan and their families, and concubines had already arrived. After Kangxi and the Empress Dowager arrived, Kangxi made some speeches as usual, and then called the envoy of Xia Huaguo.
An Ge followed the three ministers casually. He was a child of the Tong family, but with so many people in the Tong family, he was not enough to attract attention.
As the envoy bowed to Kangxi's identity, An Ge raised his head and looked at Kangxi who was in the first place, that is, his biological father. He had no special feeling, he was just a stranger with a special identity.
Kangxi was condescending, and he could see all the envoys in the center of the hall clearly. He looked over one by one, and the leader was indeed Long Kedo, and he had never seen anyone else before. on the song.
The continent of Australia is officially established, and a brand new country appears in the eyes of the world!
Yanhuanggang, also known as Yanjing, is full of crowds today, and all the people are going to the square in front of the most magnificent building in Yanhuanggang. This is a solemn and beautiful palace group. Work is the dream of countless people, and the people who work here will also be envied by countless people.

Tong Yizhen and An Ge stood in the tallest hall behind the palace, looking at the excitement hundreds of meters away.
An Ge has grown up and is taller than his mother standing next to his mother. Since he started practicing at the age of six, in the past ten years, his cultivation base has already established a foundation, and his cultivation base is only one realm smaller than his mother's.
"It's very lively, very grand!" Yun Yao said enthusiastically, unlike Tong Yizhen who became more and more quiet, she seemed to always be interested in lively things.

Longkodo is almost 30 years old. He is already married. His wife Su Mingyue was brought back when he traveled back to the Qing Dynasty. The Su family was originally a long-standing local family.

Mrs. Guarja was busy communicating with other wives, and Mrs. Hesheli took her daughter to talk elsewhere, "Your aunt has been at ease these years."
Tong Yizhen laughed and said, "Isn't Mother feeling at ease?"
Because there were few women in Australia at the beginning, the ratio of men to women is still a big problem even now. After Tong Guogang and others came to Australia, in order to set an example, they released all the women in the backyard, even those who had children. For example, Fa Hai’s aunt, Qiu Shi, was only in her twenties at the time. After she was free, she got married two years later, but her son Fa Hai is still a child of the Tong family, which does not affect his status. Now the Qiu family is also in her forties. At the age of [-], the new family has two children, a happy marriage, and a harmonious relationship with their son Fa Hai.
So how are Guarjas and Hersheys unhappy?Not only are the two of them happy, but from the perspective of reality, Tong's men also had to agree to this move. The marriage law monogamy has been implemented since then, although there are always some men who can't control the two meat in the middle of the thigh, or the women They are dedicated to climbing high, but their attitude is clear. After more than ten years, people have regarded monogamous marriage as the norm.
After the founding of the Xia Hua Kingdom, the laws will be more detailed, and the Marriage Law will also add many detailed rules.
Hesheli gave her daughter a nasty look: "You can only know how to tease a mother if you are poor-mouthed."
At night, after Haishi, except for the lights left under the eaves, the rest of the palace was completely dark. Tong Guogang had been busy for a day, and after finishing all the things, he returned home to rest.
Tong Yizhen and An Ge are waiting in the mansion. Now the Tong family's house is no longer the original courtyard house. After expansion and planning in Yanjing, a more luxurious house has been born. Even if the house where the emperor of a country lives is the most luxurious house, It is also the most secure.
"Uncle, An Ge and I will go back to Liuxian Island tonight." After embarking on the road of cultivation, they really lost interest in mortal affairs. If it wasn't for the Tong family's major event, they would not have come back.
Tong Guogang didn't keep him either, knowing that his niece and grandson were different from them after all. Now he has reached the top of a road that was unimaginable before. If he was too extravagant, this blessing might slip away from his hands.
"Okay, although uncle's words are a little redundant, but I still want to tell you to be careful in everything, and come back to see me and your parents when you are free."
Tong Yizhen nodded: "Uncle, take care of your health, and leave more things to Fa Hai and Long Kodo to do."
Every time Tong Yizhen came back, he would bring a lot of health-preserving pills. Uncle is over seventy years old, his body is still strong, and his appearance is no worse than that of a 60-year-old man. This is also the credit of the health-care pills.
"Don't worry, Xiu'er. Uncle still wants to live for a few more years. I will step down from this position in five years, ten years at the most. At that time, Longkodo will be mature enough to take on the important task of a country." Tong Guogang still said to his nephew Hopeful, although his son Fa Hai is not bad, but his heart is not as good as his nephew.
After another conversation, Tong Yizhen and An Ge said goodbye and left. They had told Hesheli and Tong Guowei in advance that they would leave here and go back to Liuxian Island.
After that, the mother and son practiced in Liuxian Island with peace of mind, learning more about the cultivation world in between, so as to prepare for their future journey to the cultivation world.
On Yanjing's side, ten days later, Tong Guogang appointed Long Kedo, Fa Hai, Tong Qiu and three other ministers to go to the Qing Dynasty together, formally submit the letter of credence to the Qing Dynasty, and establish diplomatic relations and friendship with the Qing Dynasty.
He is friendly enough to the Qing Dynasty, and these are the three heirs of Xia Huaguo.
Liuxian Island is in the waters that Australia must pass through to the Qing Dynasty. After An Ge found out, he applied to his mother. He wanted to go to the Qing Dynasty to have a look, to see that man!
Tong Yizhen agreed without thinking, and letting An Ge go was also to end the father-son relationship between An Ge and Kangxi, and to prevent this matter from becoming a lingering demon in An Ge's heart.
There was an extra person behind him for no reason, and there was still breathing on his neck. Thinking of some unspeakable scenes, Longkoduo was almost not scared out of his wits.
"An Ge?!" Looking back at his nephew's expressionless face again, Longkodo was so angry that he almost screamed up to the sky.
An Ge rubbed her ears: "Third Uncle, I can hear you, did you scare me? I'm so sorry!"
Longko gave him a blank look: "I don't accept an apology without sincerity!"
Fa Hai and Tong Qiuben lived in the next cabin, they heard the sound, and seeing the scene where the uncle and nephew confronted each other, they couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Why did An Ge come here? Are you going to Qing Dynasty too?" Fa Hai and Tong Qiu sat on the low stools beside them. They went to Qing Dynasty because they had official business, so what would An Ge do?Did the cousin ask An Ge to go to Daqing to meet Kangxi?
It was only then that Longkodo remembered this serious question, stared at An Ge, and asked, "Do you want to see Kangxi?"
An Ge had nothing to hide, and nodded: "Well, it's time to see what he looks like." Knowing what the third uncle was worried about, he said, "I was only a year old when I left, and he couldn't recognize me. of."
The three of Longkodo thought the same thing. An Ge left the palace at such a young age. If Kangxi could recognize him, he would be able to praise the deep love between father and son!But besides the father-son affection for the prince, does Kangxi have such affection for other sons?
Five ships arrived in Macau in mid-November. Because Kangxi paid more attention to the sea these years, the cities along the coast have strengthened their security, and Macau is even more important.
Long Kedo and others were received by General Hong, the general of the Navy stationed in Macau, and learned that they were the visiting envoys of the Xia Hua Kingdom in Australia, which immediately attracted General Hong's attention.
The New World Australia is not a secret along the coast, and General Hong naturally knows that Australia has established a new country, Xia Huaguo.
General Hong didn't know the origins of Longkodo, Fa Hai, and Tong Qiu. He didn't know anything about the Tong family. In fact, more than ten years had passed since the incident, and the Tong family had disappeared from the capital.
However, when General Hong's memorial was handed over to Kangxi's imperial court, Kangxi was so shocked that his spirit paled, and another thunderbolt struck him, making him wonder if he remembered it wrong?
Didn't Longkodo and Fahai die in that earthquake, due to the spread of smallpox?They can go a few months earlier than their cousin.
Kangxi's heart skipped a beat. Longkodo and Fahai were still alive, which meant that the two uncles had already planned to leave... The more he thought about Kangxi, the more difficult it was for him to maintain his composure.
"Liang Jiugong, you said that a dead person suddenly appeared, what kind of truth is behind this?" Kangxi's right hand was bulging with veins, and with too much force, the pen was cut in two with a snap.
Liang Jiugong raised his eyes and glanced at the memorial in the emperor's hand. This memorial was about Xia Huaguo. He still knew about Xia Huaguo, and it was the country established by the Tong family.
But what is meant by the dead?
"Longkodo, Fahai, they are still alive." Kangxi said word by word: "Longkodo is the first successor of Xiahua Kingdom, Fahai is the second successor, and Tongqiu is the fifth successor. "
He doesn't need to know who Tong Qiu is, he only knows that Long Kedo and Fa Hai are his cousins!
Liang Jiugong couldn't hide his surprise, Longkodo and Fahai?Isn't that the son of the two uncles?Didn't he die from smallpox?
Xia Huaguo was sent as an envoy to the Qing Dynasty in the name of a country, and this matter should naturally be managed by Honglu Temple, so Xia Huaguo became the focus of heated discussions in the capital.
Some people don't know Longkodo and Fahai, but there are always some people who remember it clearly. Such people are either friends or opponents, because knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles.
Han ministers don't care about the superfluous identities of Long Kedo and others, they only recognize the status of Xia Huaguo's heirs. If the other party comes friendly, then Daqing will also be friendly.
The Manchu Eight Banners were the most shocked, especially Suo'etu, who had forgotten about the Tong family. After all, the Tong family withdrew under the eyes of so many people in the Qing Dynasty, which was a great shame for them.
The arrival of Longkodo and Fahai, who are now alive, simply refreshed the lower limit of their incompetence once again.
"Tong Guogang, you can do it. You have been planning for so long. Now that you have become the king of a country, I have nothing to say when I lose to you." The positions are different. Now that all the princes have grown up, the crown prince's position as the crown prince has become less stable because of the emperor's ambiguous attitude. He has to worry about the prince and the Hesheli family.
The imperial edict arrived soon, and General Hong would send troops to send Xia Huaguo envoys to the capital. Of course, Longkodo and the others brought five hundred guards, and the guards would naturally follow them into the capital.
In mid-December, when the mighty procession arrived in the capital, officials from Honglu Temple personally greeted them at the gate of the city, and then arranged a dozen or so people including Longkodo, Fahai, Tongqiu, and An Ge to receive foreign guests at Honglu Temple. The compound is courteous and thoughtful, and five hundred guards are stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.
Naturally, Kangxi will not meet Longkodo and his party so soon. Longkodo and others are just waiting, but it is still a lot of fun to revisit the old place.
For example, Longkodo knew many Eight Banners boys before. When he saw them, he could still recognize them at a glance, and even waved his hands very ostentatiously. That Eight Banners boy looked at Longkodo suspiciously.
"Akton, long time no see, don't you know me? I'm Longkodo!" Longkodo stepped forward, and the two brothers seemed to put their arms around Acton's shoulders.
The next moment, Acton said in shock: "You, you, aren't you dead?"
Long Kedo didn't mind either, he laughed and said, "I'm alive again!"
Fa Hai and Tong Qiu felt that his cousin was too bad, as if he was afraid that the people in the capital would not know that Long Kedo was still alive.
An Ge didn't care about the bad taste of the third uncle, he just looked at the strange capital curiously, he had no impression of the capital at all, his only earliest impression was the fire, but he didn't remember it at all. Afraid, but also full of curiosity looking at the people outside the firelight, he seemed to remember that he felt strange, why the faces of the people outside the firelight were so ugly?It's good for him to stay with his mother.
Next, Long Kedo really showed his sense of existence. All the Banners were talking about the third master of the Tong family who had come back to life. At the same time, he was also the emperor's cousin. The Tong family who had disappeared for more than ten years reappeared.
For the princes, this is a bit complicated. The elder brother Yinfeng and the prince Yinreng who vaguely know about that part of the past are completely unaware of the other three elder brothers and fifth elder brothers, let alone the later ones. Brothers.
The prince had no choice but to ask his uncle about the Tong family. How dare Suo Etu tell the prince all of them, and only picked some to tell the prince.The elder brother has a mother and concubine to ask, but Concubine Hui told her son everything, but when the elder brother heard this, his heart burst into flames. Why did Khan Ama only see the second child?
"Yinyi, the mother concubine originally refused to tell you about this, but she still told you, don't compete with the crown prince, that position is not your turn anyway." Concubine Hui advised her son earnestly, but the elder brother Can you hear me?Was he just trying to win Kangxi's favor?Does he not want the throne?
The other brothers all asked their mothers and concubines, but how did the concubines who entered the palace after 21 years of Kangxi know?Like the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother's mother and concubine are completely ignorant of the inside story.
On the contrary, Wu Ya's luck was good. She still gave birth to her only son, the fourteenth elder brother Yinti, in the 27th year of Kangxi. I feel satisfied.
When Brother Fourteen asked her about the Tong family, she suddenly remembered that the woman had been away for 19 years, so she still hadn't forgotten her.
In the early years, the emperor recognized a daughter of the clan as an adopted daughter and raised her under the knees of Concubine Shu. She knew that it was her child, and seeing that she was living well, and she was married two years ago in the capital, this might be the emperor's It's good to make up for my daughter.
Longkodo took his younger brother and nephew to play in the capital, showing his presence all the time, making the capital in a very strange atmosphere.
Kangxi could hear news of Longkodo every day. Today he competed with this Eight Banners family, and tomorrow he had a wine fight with that Eight Banners family.
He was thinking about his uncle's intentions, why Longkodo and Fahai were sent as envoys after the founding of the country, and he didn't believe that Xia Huaguo had no other envoys.
The 37th year of Kangxi's New Year's Eve palace banquet was particularly grand, and it was also very exciting. The court and harem were all looking forward to this reunion of cousins. How would the emperor react?
On New Year's Eve, the north wind howled, and there was heavy snow.
Longkodo and the others followed the status of envoys and entered the palace according to the arrangement of Honglu Temple. They first waited in a palace, waiting for Kangxi's call.
Probably around the time of Xu, the ministers of Ganquan Palace and their families, the clan and their families, and concubines had already arrived. After Kangxi and the Empress Dowager arrived, Kangxi made some speeches as usual, and then called the envoy of Xia Huaguo.
An Ge followed the three ministers casually. He was a child of the Tong family, but with so many people in the Tong family, he was not enough to attract attention.
As the envoy bowed to Kangxi's identity, An Ge raised his head and looked at Kangxi who was in the first place, that is, his biological father. He had no special feeling, he was just a stranger with a special identity.
Kangxi was condescending, and he could see all the envoys in the center of the hall clearly. He looked over one by one, and the leader was indeed Long Kedo, and he had never seen anyone else before. on the song.
