After this battle, Yunxiang ordered all the soldiers involved in the robbery to be punished with fifty rods on the grounds of violating military discipline and not obeying the command, and those who robbed the most were executed on the spot.

Subsequently, Yunxiang and Song Kejin purged the army, and strictly forbade no more looting, and some soldiers excitedly pointed out that they worked desperately, risking their lives to fight the enemy, but the salary they could get was pitifully small after layers of harshness, and it was not enough to support their families. After checking the truth, Yunxiang promised that as long as the battle was won, when he returned to the dynasty, he would definitely make a statement to the emperor and reward the army. But there is a premise, that is, you must abide by military discipline and obey military orders, otherwise there will be no forgiveness for killing.

At the beginning of May, Gerdan regrouped his army and attacked again, but the two armies stood still, and no matter how much he attacked, it was useless. The day passed like this, and at night when the army of Zhun Geer was resting in the military tent, the Qing soldiers suddenly attacked, although Geldan had been prepared, but such a ferocious attack still caught him off guard, and suffered heavy losses, and this time, he did not succeed in his old plan, money is good, but it is also necessary to enjoy life.

This time, the army of Dzungar suffered an unprecedented defeat, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and it withdrew fifty miles overnight, and then because the army was in turmoil, it was even more defeated and retreated. Seeing that it was difficult to get any more benefits, Geldan retreated with hatred.

The rebellion was finally put down, and Yinzhen, who was far away in the capital, let out a long sigh after receiving the report, and the biggest crisis since he ascended the throne was finally able to survive, and during this period of worry, he was under unimaginable pressure.

On the last day of May, Yun Xiang and Nian Qianyao led the army back to the capital, Yun Xiang fulfilled his promise, and rewarded each soldier with twenty taels of silver, Yin Zhen because of the victory, the dragon heart was happy, and at the same time understood the hard work of the soldiers, and agreed to his request, and Yun Xiang was fully responsible for this matter.

The army on the left and right sides cheered because of this, in the past, the court rewards were not without them, but after layers of exploitation, it would be good to have five taels of silver in their hands, but this time there was no harsh deduction, the real twenty taels of silver.

On the contrary, Nian Qianyao's side was much more indifferent to this, and there were even whispers that the soldiers were born and died outside, and the court actually rewarded twenty taels of silver, which is really small.

Through the mouth of the secret agent, Yin Zhen heard these words, and after thinking about it, he ordered the secret agent to go to the northwest to investigate immediately. It would be forgivable if the general didn't put twenty taels of silver in his eyes, but it was just an ordinary soldier, and the salary of the soldier was only how much a year, and he was so arrogant, it can be seen that their group of sergeants who can almost be regarded as a young soldier of Qianyao are definitely more than a few dozen taels of silver in their hands.

In addition to the sergeants, Yinzhen also rewarded Yunxiang, Nian Qianyao, and Song Kejin, and named Yunxiang as the king of iron hats, hereditary replacement; Feng Nian Qianyao was a first-class auxiliary prince, and he was given three dazzling feathers; Song Kejin was named the general of Zhaoyong, and the rest were rewarded according to their merits, among which it is worth mentioning that Ling Ruo's younger brother Rongxiang, who was also promoted to general for his military exploits in this counterinsurgency.

And Yun Yu and Yun Yu, because they had suffered defeats before, they did not have their share in the reward this time, and as soon as they returned to Beijing, they immediately resigned from all their positions, and there was no intention of using it again.

Yun Zhen and the two were unwilling, but now the power is in Yinzhen's hands, and they can't help but say half a word, Yun 21 knew about it, and scolded Yinzhen for not talking about morality, and if he needed to, he would pull their brother out of the city, and when he didn't need it, he would cross the river and tear down the bridge, which was really hateful.

Yin Zhen treated Nian Qianyao many times, but he was not satisfied, and asked for another reward for the 20,000 soldiers he brought to comfort them from traveling thousands of miles.

Yinzhen didn't allow it at the beginning, after all, the soldiers who were also pacifying the Zhungar Rebellion, if one side rewarded more, the other side would definitely complain. However, Nian Qianyao asked many times and spoke strongly, which made Yinzhen quite unhappy, although he finally agreed to Nian Qianyao's request, but also deepened his determination to eradicate Nian Qianyao.

After returning to Beijing, as usual, he had to stay in Beijing for a period of time, during which Nian Qianyao relied on his high merits, and his arrogance and arrogance became more and more serious, and even in front of Yinzhen, he also stopped losing his manners, sat in front of the emperor, and no one was courteous.

Several ministers in the DPRK and China have impeached Nian Qianyao, and Yinzhen did not pursue it on the grounds that Nian Qianyao had made great contributions, which made Nian Qianyao mistakenly think that Yinzhen still trusted and relied on himself, and acted more and more unruly.

On the other hand, there is Nian, because of her brother's merits, she is even more arrogant in the harem, and she doesn't take the queen in her eyes at all, and it is rare to see her once in a few days. As for the other concubines in the palace, anyone who is slightly disrespectful will be severely punished, and such a thunderous method makes the concubines dare not speak out.

The court and the harem are all dominated by the Nian family, seeing that the emperor ignores this, the ministers are worried, and for a long time, who will curb the trend of the Nian family.

And that's not all, at the beginning of June, Nian Qianyao folded and asked Yinzhen to establish the crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the country; Yinzhen stayed in the middle and did not send it, and Nian Qianyao folded several seals in a row, and then talked eloquently in the Yangxin Palace, forcing Yinzhen to express his position on the establishment of the prince.

Nian Qianyao was worried about the fact that he had made two meritorious contributions at the moment, but he still had not been named a king with a different surname, but no matter how he knocked on the side, Yinzhen did not let go. Nian Qianyao had no choice but to give up, but he was bent on earning an unparalleled glory for his family, and the position of the crown prince was undoubtedly a hundred times more precious than that of a king with a different surname.

Nian Qianyao has always been naïve, Yinzhen is even stingy with a king with a different surname, how can he be willing to take out the position of prince.

Above the court, Yinzhen and Baiguan both understood in their hearts that Nian Qianyao's so-called establishment of the prince was nothing more than wanting to establish the third elder brother Hongsheng as the prince, and only when Hongsheng became the prince, the status of the Nian family was truly as stable as Mount Tai.

After Nian Qianyao's voice fell, Yunxiang was the first to speak: "The emperor is now in his prime, and it is too early to establish a prince. ”

Nian Qianyao said disapprerovingly: "The prince is the foundation of the country, the sooner he is canonized, the better, didn't the first emperor set up the prince early?" ”

Nian Qianyao mentioned the abolished prince in front of Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen's already not very good-looking face more and more gloomy, staring at Nian Qianyao, who was arguing with Yunxiang endlessly, without saying a word.

Intersection with Nian Qianyao's unscrupulousness, Yunxiang many words can not be said on the surface, on the surface, but Nian Qianyao has the upper hand, just when he is proud, Zhang Tingyu, who has been silent, finally said: "The auxiliary prince is loyal, for the country and the people, it is really admirable to us, but the appointment of the prince is very important, and it needs to be considered in the long run, not to mention that there are four elder brothers in the emperor at present, and which one to appoint also needs to be carefully considered, not to be decided in three or two days." ”
