The flagmen's weapons, gowns, and horses are all self-prepared, even if they are surrounded by four walls, these things must be purchased, these years, the bottom of the banner people have a difficult livelihood, and the chance of wearing armor is also very small, and the self-prepared armor and horses are unsightly, and they are also expected by Yinzhen, hearing Yinxiang's words, he was not surprised, but nodded slightly.

Seeing that Yinzhen was silent, Yinxiang then added: "The minister made a general secret visit, and most of these unsightly weapons and horses were also purchased with debts, especially horses, most of which were retired war horses, and many of them were not riding horses at all, but pulling horses. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh secretly, raising a horse is a big expense, these low-level flag people are hopeless in armor, who will spend spare money to raise war horses? Besides, how many war horses can there be in the capital, and suddenly recruit 10,000 horsemen, it is good to be able to make up the number of 10,000 horses, it is completely conceivable that the horse market in the capital must be extremely hot these days, and the old thirteen said that he wanted him to pay for a unified change of horses.

However, the formation of the new Praetorian Guard Army, his original intention was to build an elite cavalry capable of expeditions, this horse is indeed not to be ignored, but, this expenditure is not small, according to one horse and three horses, only the 5,000 people who were initially built, 15,000 war horses, and then expanded, at least 20,000 to 50,000 people, where did so many war horses come from? It's not enough to just buy a horse, you have to raise your own horse.

After a little hesitation, Yinzhen shouted to the outside world: "Bao Fuquan." ”

Bao Fuquan, who was waiting outside the door, heard the order, hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said, "The slave is here." ”

"Not long after the early dynasty dispersed, he sent people to chase after Li Huazhi, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and announced that he would meet him." Yinzhen commanded in a deep voice.

As soon as he heard this, Yinxiang couldn't help but be happy, Taifu Temple is an institution that manages the affairs of the border Mongolian region and the left and right wings of the capital, and is in charge of the country's horse administration. Yinzhen summoned Li Huazhi, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, obviously to solve the problem of the new army standing on horses for a long time.

Wait for Bao Fuquan to retreat. Yinzhen looked at Yinxiang and Yinzhen, and said: "Since the armor and horses of the recruits are unsightly, they don't need to prepare their own, and they are uniformly prepared by the imperial court. ”

Yin Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. In this way, this soldier is much easier, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The crown prince's move is really a celestial thing, and the recruits and their families must be grateful." ”

The joy on Yinxiang's face flashed, and he groaned slightly, and then he bowed down and said, "Crown Prince, the cost of armor and horses for five thousand soldiers and horses is expensive. And there is no precedent, the military department is afraid that it will not agree, and the Eighth Forbidden Brigade stationed in the Beijing Division will also have opinions, which will cause criticism, which is not good for the crown prince, can it be delayed a little. ”

The thirteenth man wants him to take the throne and then implement it calmly, so as not to favor one over the other. aroused the opposition of various flags, but God knows what Kangxi's situation is. The Janissaries should not be delayed any longer.

Yin Qi said: "Whether the Ministry of War has any opinions, let's not say it for the time being, however, the Eighth Forbidden Brigade stationed in the Beijing Division must not have too many opinions, the new Praetorian Guard recruits all the children of the Eight Banners, and they will expand their recruitment, which is a good thing that benefits most of the banner people, who has nothing to do with their own money bags?" ”

"Brother Ten's words are good, but Brother Thirteen's worries are not unreasonable." Yinzhen nodded slightly: "It's not just a matter of money. This involves the military system, and I don't have the energy to take care of it at the moment. As he spoke, he paused slightly before continuing: "The new Praetorian Guard, like the navy, is a new attempt, and it can follow the old rules of the navy. In addition, no one will have any objection to the military expenses of the new recruits during the six-month training period, and no one will have any objections to the unified purchase of armor and horses with money. "..., rich is good! The so-called miscellaneous expenses, everyone knows that Yinzhen paid out of his own pocket, however, he not only pointed out that it was an attempt, but also compared to the navy, even if the court had opinions, no one dared to say anything, after all, the navy's record was too brilliant, what made Yinxiang secretly shocked was that listening to Yinzhen's tone, it seemed that the military system should also be innovated, how many things did the old fourteen still want to innovate? He didn't dare to think about it, and immediately bowed and said: "The crown prince is far-sighted and thoughtful, so there is no objection from top to bottom of the court. ”

As soon as the words fell, Bao Fuquan bowed down at the door and said, "Prince, Liu Shengfang, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, is asking to see you outside." ”

Didn't you see this talking to the old ten and the thirteenth? Yinzhen frowned, glanced at Bao Fuquan dissatisfiedly, but reacted instantly, this is not a routine report on Kangxi's condition, it should be Kangxi's condition has changed, he hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Xuan him in." As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took two sips of herbal tea, feeling calm in his heart, the current situation, no matter how Kangxi's condition develops, will not have much impact on him.

Liu Shengfang came quickly, and as soon as he entered the door, he kowtowed and said, "Congratulations to the crown prince, the emperor has woken up." ”

Kangxi woke up! Yinqi and Yinxiang couldn't help but feel very complicated, and they couldn't help but stand up when they heard the words.

Yinzhen was also surprised, and asked, "Is the emperor sober?" ”

"Back to the crown prince." Liu Shengfang forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said calmly: "The emperor has woken up, and the envoy of the Sun Yuan and a group of imperial doctors are checking the pulse of the emperor, and the ministers will come to report the good news to the crown prince first." ”

Yinzhen bowed slightly, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately notify the brothers in the palace, the princes and the princes, and the ministers of the upper study to rush to the emperor's bedroom." ”

Hearing this, Yinxiang couldn't help but sigh slightly, is the old fourteen too open-minded? Kangxi's situation was unknown, so he hurriedly summoned everyone to go? However, this is a big taboo, he only dares to think about it, but he doesn't dare to say it, Yinqi and Yinxiang don't want to go to Kangxi's dormitory with Yinzhen, so they hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

After the two of them withdrew, Yinzhen also hurried to Kangxi's bedroom, although he had expected this situation, but he was still a little apprehensive in his chest, Kangxi woke up, what would happen?

Rushed to the door of Kangxi's dormitory, the ministers of the guards waiting at the door, Fuldan, Yide and a group of imperial doctors immediately knelt on the ground without saying a word, Yinzhen stopped and asked softly, "What's the situation inside?" ”

Fuldan hurriedly replied softly: "Back to the crown prince, the envoy of Sun Tzu Ding Yuan is checking the pulse of the emperor with several imperial doctors. ”

Not out yet? Yinzhen also felt slightly anxious in his heart, but it was inconvenient to rush in, so he glanced at everyone before saying, "Let's all be flat." ”

After the group got up, they didn't dare to stand with Yinzhen, and immediately retreated to the courtyard outside the door and waited quietly.

The news of Kangxi's sobering up soon spread throughout the Xiaotangshan Palace, and all the princes, princes, and ministers of the study immediately hurried over after hearing the report, and the third elder brother Yinzhi and the eighth elder brother Yinzhi arrived first, seeing that Yinzhen was still waiting outside the door, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Yinzhen nodded slightly, and said softly: "Tell them, no courtesy, just wait in the courtyard." ”

After a while, a group of people arrived one after another, silently waiting in the courtyard outside the door, all of them happy and uneasy.

Yinzhen turned around and glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was standing under the sun, and after a little groaning, he ordered: "Yinzhi, Yinzhi, Yinxiang, Yinqi, Yanhuang, Boguoduo, Yaerjianga, Dezhao, Ma Qi, Zhang Pengxi, Wang Luo, and Li Guangdi are waiting in the shade under this staircase. The others waited in the shade nearby. ”

The sun in June is poisonous, and it is almost noon, standing in the yard is only tea time, everyone is sweaty and heavy-clothed, listening to Yinzhen's instructions, a group of people can't help but be secretly grateful, and immediately dispersed. ..., After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Sun Zi Ding came out with a few imperial doctors, saw Yinzhen waiting at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "How is the emperor's situation?" ”

"Back to the crown prince." Sun Ziding bowed down and said: "After a preliminary examination, although the emperor is awake, but the hemiplegia has been greatly aggravated, it was only the right hemiplegia before, and now the left limb has not responded, and since waking up, he has not seen him speak." ”

Yinzhen asked: "Is the emperor still sober?" ”

"Back to the crown prince, there is no way to judge at present, judging from the eyes, it should be sober." Sun Ziding replied in a deep voice.

Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh secretly, Kangxi was in this situation, I was afraid that it would be difficult to recover, and I didn't know if I had fallen into the sequelae of dementia, and I was about to ask if it was suitable for visiting now, but I saw Li Dequan hurrying out, and when I saw Yinzhen, I bowed slightly, and said: "The crown prince, listed as an adult, the emperor called in." ”

Is Kangxi sober? Able to speak? Yinzhen is in a row, won't it be a return to the light, right? He immediately walked in quickly.

On the wide couch, Kangxi walked outward, he hadn't eaten for a few days, his face was getting thinner and thinner, his eyes were deep-set, and he looked haggard.

Seeing this situation, Yinzhen hurriedly took a few steps, knelt in front of Kangxi and kowtowed three times, raised his head, and only called softly, "Huang Ama." He choked up and couldn't speak.

Yinzhi, Yinzhi, Yinxiang, and Yinqi also followed closely behind, and after kowtowing, they all looked at Kangxi with tears in their eyes, but they didn't dare to speak, and several princes and ministers knelt behind the four.

Kangxi glanced at everyone, and then muttered a vague sentence, but no one heard it clearly, but Li Dequan, who was standing beside him, said softly: "I don't have much time to go." ”

Hearing this, everyone stared at Kangxi, Kangxi is going to confess his last words? Is it really a return to the past? Yinzhen's heart was also pounding, his palms and back were sweaty, staring at Kangxi without eyelashes.

Kangxi nodded imperceptibly, and then said vaguely, but this time the crowd heard the words fate and engraving clearly, and Li Dequan said again: "Life is instant." ”

Kangxi nodded slightly, and said laboriously, almost word by word: "The crown prince inherits the unification." After saying this, he seemed to have exhausted his strength, but he still stared at the crowd in front of the bed. (To be continued.)
