Kangxi's edict only said that it was the new season, and when he received the edict, it was already about to be the New Year, and it would be too hasty to arrive on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Moreover, even if the three feudatories arrived on New Year's Day, Kangxi didn't have time to receive them.

Every New Year, Emperor Kangxi also had a reunion dinner and did all kinds of activities. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, civil and military officials gathered at Taihedian Square early in the morning to congratulate Kangxi on the New Year. At this time, the square will be lined with all kinds of ceremonial instruments, solemn and lively. At seven o'clock in the morning, Kangxi ascended the throne of the Taihe Palace, and all the officials sat down one by one according to their ranks and knelt down to worship. Then, two scholars will read the New Year's message and last year's annual summary. After reading, the courtiers knelt down again, and then Kangxi gave tea to the seat. After drinking tea, it was almost the end of the New Year's greetings to Kangxi.

In the next few days, in addition to the normal office, Kangxi will keep meeting with the princes of Manmeng, appeased and encouraged, and a lot of rewards. The envoys of some small surrounding countries like to come at this time, and they can get a lot of rewards. This section lasts until the Lantern Festival, so there is no problem for the San Francisco to arrive later. In this way, Geng Jingzhong has nearly a month to walk on the road.

From the capital to Fujian, it is far and far, and it is close and near. If Geng Jingzhong went straight to Tianjin by boat, and then went to the capital, it would only take seven days to be enough, therefore. There's no need to be in a hurry at the moment. Now that it has been negotiated with the two major advisers under his command. Then prepare well.

Geng Jingzhong himself. He is not ready to set off before this New Year, and he has to leave to get after the New Year. Geng Jingzhong spent the New Year happily at home with his parents, wife and son, and all the things that should be prepared were ready. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Geng Jingzhong officially prepared to set sail. He built his navy with the permission of the imperial court, so it was not a big deal to drive a few warships to the docks in Tianjin.

The reason why the time was set on the fifth day of the first lunar month was because it was the time he agreed with Shang Kexi, the king of Zhennan nearby. The two families are very close. The clipper ship will be able to ship the news to Guangzhou in three days. Both families have the same idea, and it is convenient and fast to enter Beijing by sea. Geng Jingzhong's team was relatively simple, and only the Yuanzi formation escorted him. It's just that this team that he looks very simple has a different feeling in Shang Kexi's eyes. It was only these twelve warships that were moored to Monkey Island Harbor, and if he saw the scene of one hundred and sixty warships together, he didn't know how Shang Kexi would feel.

Geng Jingzhong chose to let the battleship enter the Tianjin dock for another consideration, that is, to show Kangxi a little bit of force, don't think that only Wu Sangui can pose a threat to him. Wu Sangui was not there, and a large number of his warships were on standby in Fuzhou. It is bound to make Kangxi even more reluctant to act rashly. Anyway, Kangxi is already ready to do it, and he also knows some of the strength of their two kings. This is just enough for Kangxi to pay a little attention to them and increase his efforts to win them over.

Geng Jingzhong also thought about it, he was loyal to Kangxi when he arrived in the capital, and when he came to Kangxi to see his strength, and then saw that he was actively moving closer to him, he should focus on Wu Sangui's body, in fact, most of the energy of the imperial court was originally on Wu Sangui's body. Kangxi is a very shrewd person, and he must be able to consider the pros and cons clearly. Differentiation and co-optation is his forte, and it is reflected when he excludes worship

Just after the New Year, the Lantern Festival is coming, the Lantern Festival is also called the Shangyuan Festival, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival has been famous here since the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, the city of Beijing was still called the Daimyo's Mansion, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival of the Daimyo's Mansion was famous at that time. Not only on the street, but also in the palace, there are also all kinds of lanterns, but Kangxi is not in the mood to see it.

Kangxi summoned the three feudal clans to meet at the same time, originally intending to emulate the story of Zhao Kuangyin's capture of troops in front of the banquet, but Wu Sangui said that if he was ill, Kangxi's plan to seize troops could not be implemented, which was completely expected by Geng Jingzhong. Xiao Mazi's hot heart had to cool down, and it was replaced by irrepressible resentment. A few days ago, Kangxi endured the anger of his belly, and took the lead in meeting Wu Yingxiong, who was saluting on behalf of his father, in Qianqingmen, and rewarded him with silver and medicine, and issued an edict to comfort Wu Sangui, who was "sick".

Subsequently, Geng and Shang entered Beijing, but the two came together, and they came to report that the two came together on the fleet of the Fujian Mawei Naval Division and anchored at the Tianjin wharf. The battleship is very powerful, and the soldiers look very strong, which makes Kangxi think again.

Wu Sangui didn't come, Kangxi was always angry, but he was angry, and he had to do serious things. After the Lantern Festival, on the sixteenth day of the first month, Kangxi issued an edict ordering Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong, who had entered Beijing, to enter and meet in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

When Luan Yu passed by the Qianqing Gate, Kangxi lifted the bright yellow soft satin curtain and looked out, and saw Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi wearing new goose yellow flower dragon coats, prostrating themselves and kowtowing, and couldn't help laughing and said loudly: "The two kings have come from afar to be exempt." After a pause, Ling Chengyu stopped, grabbed one under the Danqi, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come so early. Are you still used to living in Beijing? The weather here is not as good as Guangdong and Fujian, so you have to add more clothes to make it......"

As he spoke, he walked slowly along the road towards the Zhengda Guangming Temple, his tone and expression were full of affection. In the upper study, the ministers Suo Etu and Xiong Cixu, the ministers of the Ministry and the ministers of the Ministry and the First Class Gong Ji Bilong were already waiting at the door of the palace, and when they saw them coming, they knelt down together, and waited for the three of them to enter the hall one after another.

Entering the palace for the Hajj, Geng Jingzhong of course did not wear the new military uniform he designed, but changed into the clothes that Wang Shizi should wear. Kangxi ordered Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi to sit down, picked up the milk on the royal case and chewed it, and then carefully looked at the two princes with different surnames in front of them. Wrong, Geng Jingzhong is not a prince yet, but Kangxi knew that Geng Jimao's health was too poor, so he directly treated Geng Jingzhong as the king of Jingnan. However, what makes Kangxi strange is that last time when Kangxi was three years old, Geng Jingzhong was not this spirit at all, and he felt that some kind of indescribable change had occurred in Geng Jingzhong's body.

"By the way, where do you live?" Kangxi asked at the second king.

Hearing the emperor's question, Geng Jingzhong stood up, said with a smile: "If you go back to the emperor, Prince Shang lives in his son's house, and the slave lives in his brother's house. Since Geng Jingzhong is ready to make Kangxi feel that he is loyal to him, of course he must show an obedient attitude. However, Geng Jingzhong's heart is very crooked, as soon as the word slave comes out, he wants to vomit, in Fujian, these two words have long been abolished by him.

Geng Jingzhong's younger brothers Geng Zhaozhong and Geng Juzhong are all in the capital, of course he came to the capital to live in their house, and Shang Kexi's third son Shang Zhili and Wu Yingxiong also live in the capital, so Shang Kexi also has a place to stay. The similarity between the two families is that the three brothers of the Geng family and Shang Kexi's third son are Kangxi's uncles. In other words, it is a horse, and in Manchu it is called "forehead". These people were all detained in Jingshi and lived in the Efu Mansion and served as ministers of scattered ranks. Geng Zhaozhong, Geng Juzhong and Shang Zhili are all swingers who play with the wind and the moon, drunk, and do not care about political affairs, which is 108,000 miles worse than Wu Yingxiong, the eldest son of Wu Sangui.

Wu Yingxiong is honest on the surface, but in fact, like Geng Hou, he secretly befriended ministers. Wu Yingxiong is more powerful, and Geng Jingzhong is the same as the prince, he can make friends with the senior officials above the governor, which Geng Hou can't do. In this way, Wu Yingxiong also exchanged letters with Yunnan once every three or two days.

As soon as Geng Jingzhong finished speaking, Kangxi nodded and smiled: "That's good, several foreheads are very capable, and I am also ready to let them go through the experience, so that they can enter the ministry to serve the country!" ”

"Thank you for your love!" The two replied in unison. It's over, Shang Kexi continued: "This time I came to Beijing, and I listened to the ceremony that Long Live Lord is very diligent in government, and he has to do things every day until the second watch. The slave said that he didn't know how to go up and down, long live how young he is now, and he doesn't know how to take care of his body, and he doesn't know until he is the age of the slave! Long live is tied to the safety of hundreds of millions of people, and it is necessary to work more economically. ”

"Well, why don't I want to be happy? There are so many things that I have to do this! Kangxi turned his gaze to the snow-capped palace outside, and said angrily, "The Rakshasa devil harassed the border in the northeast, occupied my wooden city last year, and killed more than 1,000 of my people. These people use the corpses of dead people to build a shelf and burn children to eat! Things in the northwest were even more chaotic, Geldan didn't know what medicine to take, and dared to establish himself as a khan without asking for a decree, and hooked up with Tibet's Diba Sanjie, with the intention of going east to annex the south and the north of the desert. You are all people who are familiar with Han history, how can I ignore such a thing in the territory, and the Yellow River and the Huai River, which broke 34 times last autumn, and the mud in the yamen of the governor of Henan is more than one zhang thick, and more than 200,000 people have fled the famine...... Alas! After Kangxi finished speaking, he sighed twice, these things really annoyed him.

Geng Jingzhong also got some reports on these things, but he didn't know in detail, after all, Geng Hou's main task in the capital was not to investigate the news of the frontier. But these news also made Geng Jingzhong very indignant. Especially the Russian old Maozi in the north, in Geng Jingzhong's heart, is the most hated foreigner, they are second only to the Japanese people. Hearing Kangxi's words, Geng Jingzhong also secretly made up his mind that he would definitely make Lao Maozi in the north pay a heavy price in the future. (To be continued......)
