(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

The city that can best represent the beauty of oriental architecture is no more representative in the world than Beijing, even Nanjing. As the imperial capital of hundreds of years, the scale of Beijing City at this moment is more atmospheric than any other city!

It's May in the capital, and it's the golden age of the year. Any tree has tender green leaves, and the ground is full of green shade. Willow catkins flutter with snowflakes and fly in the calm alley. The jujube trees also bloomed, sending out the fragrance of orchids on the walls of people's houses. Spring in Beijing is windy, but by May, the season is over. The houses in the capital are basically courtyard houses. This courtyard can really be said to be a national building. The so-called mansion gate, which house is not seven or eight on ten yards, which yard is not flowers and fruits to help sparse. That's not to mention. It is a middle-class home, in addition to one courtyard, there are always one or two small courtyards to match. In these yards, except for the pomegranate tree goldfish tank, in the late spring, families move out from the house to spend the cold winter. The trees in the yard, such as lilacs, begonias, vine trellises, grape trellises, weeping willows, acacias, black locusts, jujube trees, elms, mountain peaches, pearl plums, and elm leaf plums, have also become very common plants. At this time, they have all bloomed one after another.

It has been more than 20 years since the Qing soldiers entered Beijing, and more than 20 years of peace have made her more and more prosperous. These days in May are also the most laid-back and comfortable days for people in Kyoto. When the street was full of green shade, the flat-headed car selling peony flowers, and the mushroom buds of the whole car were pushed over. The burden of selling cold food is in a quiet alley. Jingle and knock on the ice cup. This is a great indication of the stability and tranquility here. Wontons, pea buns, flowering steamed buns, crispy twist flowers, steamed twist flowers, etc. are sold from time to time, which is already funny. Another example is emulsifiable bayberry. Candied cherries, vine cakes, rose cakes, and some poetry to eat.

The people were still living their little lives leisurely, and the officials were going on to court as usual, but they were not aware that a palace coup was brewing.

"Suo Etu, Wolf Tan, are they all arranged outside?" At this moment, it was already evening, and in the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi only left two people to discuss countermeasures. The other attendants and eunuchs were all on standby.

Wolf Tan stepped forward and reported: "Back to the emperor, Wu Liuyi, the commander of the nine gates outside the palace, has ordered the soldiers to be on standby at any time, just wait for the emperor's order!" "Kangxi Group is about to make a move on Aobai, as one of the main planners, Suo Etu is now excited and nervous, for fear that a negligence did not capture Aobai, but was captured by Aobai's subordinates.

"Your Majesty, the same is true for the guard camp, all the children of the Guerjia clan have been replaced, and the inner courtyard of the palace is already under control." Suo Etu also reported it.

"There are also a large number of guards in the Aobai Mansion. Beijing City is full of his henchmen, once the time comes, what should he do if he doesn't capture Aobai? Kangxi's mood at the moment is the same, he has endured humiliation for several years. For this day. In any case, the worship must be cut off today, otherwise it will never be his final say in the court.

Suo Etu and Wolf Tan glanced at each other. I also saw worry in the other party's eyes. "Back to the emperor, although there are many worshippers in the capital. But there is not much military power under his control. Wu Liuyi took refuge in Aobai on the surface, but in fact he is also our person. Again. We are suddenly attacking, and the Aobai party members are caught off guard, and we have a better chance of winning. In this way, as long as the palace captures Aobai, the great thing will be done! ”

"It would be nice to have more details. You come with me to see the Empress Dowager! ”

When they arrived at Cining Palace, Kangxi waved his hand to the two and the other guards, signaling them to stop and meet the Empress Dowager alone.

Entering the hall, Kangxi stopped the little eunuch's report and told him not to make a sound. Xiaozhuang had just finished eating a bowl of lotus seed soup, and was reciting Buddha on the couch, not noticing Kangxi's approach at all.

"Grandson greets the imperial grandmother!" Kangxi walked closer, knelt down and said.

Xiaozhuang, who was chanting Buddha, opened his eyes, looked at this heroic grandson, and smiled: "It's Xuanye!" Why did you come to me now? It's time for you to eat, now! Have you eaten? A series of questions, each of which shows concern for his grandson.

But Kangxi didn't speak, still kneeling on the ground and didn't get up. Xiaozhuang raised his head and made a color to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper withdrew with all the palace maids and eunuchs. "Say it, Xuanye, the sky is falling, and my filial piety will help you bear it. What can't we say? ”

Kangxi raised his head and said to Xiaozhuang's concerned eyes: "Imperial grandmother, the grandson is not Adou, nor Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and I don't want to be the Chai Zongxun of the Later Zhou!" The grandson wants to be a saint of the ages like Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Ancestor! Sun Er's decision to cut off the Aobai party has been set for tomorrow. I specially ask the imperial grandmother to show it! ”

"Are you all set?" The Empress Dowager still had a calm expression, "You must know that once you can't capture Ao Bai in one fell swoop, you will have to do it if you don't do Adou, and it is very likely that you won't even be able to do Adou, and become Chai Zongxun, let alone be a saint of the ages like Emperor Qin and Han Wu!" ”

"Grandmother, my grandson knows it, but my grandson still decides to do it. Sun Er has already sent Aobai's cronies out on errands, and the guards in the palace have basically been replaced, and the strength of Aobai in the capital has been greatly weakened. This is the best chance for the grandchildren, otherwise it will be even more difficult in the future. ”

"Yes, this is only in the morning and evening, it must be done!" Xiaozhuang nodded and said.

Kangxi heard that Xiaozhuang also agreed, his confidence increased greatly, and he continued happily: "In the past eight years, Ao Bai has bullied his colleagues, killed auxiliary ministers, trampled on the court, and roared at the Golden Palace. If this continues, I will fall into the hands of Ao Bai sooner or later? ”

Seeing Xiaozhuang's frequent nods, Kangxi continued: "The matter of enclosing land is a disaster for the country and the people, this was originally the maladministration of the first dynasty, and my father and emperor issued a decree to abolish it in his second life. But Ao Bai relied on his power and acted unscrupulously, and in the first two years, he actually encircled the land of Huangzhuang under the yellow flag. Therefore, it also led the three banners to fight endlessly, and the common people left their hometowns and wandered around, either for thieves or thieves, or for the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and became enemies of our Qing Dynasty. ”

"What you said is good, but a powerful minister like Ao Bai is extremely powerful, and the matter of capturing Ao Bai is very important, so you must make all preparations."

"Yes! When your grandson remembers your teachings, he will either fail to provoke or thunder. Although the grandson has made preparations, but the victory is undecided, I am afraid of accidents, so the emperor wants to ask the imperial grandmother to temporarily drive Fengtian, avoid a few days, and wait for the overall situation to be a little stable, and the grandson will welcome Luan back to Beijing in person! ”

Xiao Zheng's expression was gone, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xuan Ye, the lives of our ancestors and grandchildren are connected. Your filial piety, I am very useful. But I'm not going anywhere! Sue you, when you removed the palace guards yesterday, I knew you were going to do it. So I made an edict yesterday, secretly ordering the whole army of Fengtai Battalion to stand by, ready to enter the king of Beijing at any time, Ming'er, you only need to send someone to carry your golden order over! ”

"Fengtai Battalion? The boss has a black forehead, but he is a worshipper! This "Kangxi was shocked, thinking that the news had been leaked like this, and he was all finished, and his face was gloomy.

"Grandson, you still need to go through the experience. Esehei is my man, and since the death of your father, Emperor Fu, he has been sent by me to Aobai. Not only Aobai, but the four auxiliary ministers have my people around them! Go ahead and do it, grandmother will never allow others to bully my grandchild! Xiaozhuang gently patted Kangxi's forehead with his hand and said softly.

Kangxi never expected that this quiet old grandmother would have such a big hand, and he knew that this was the case, so he came directly to discuss with his grandmother. With nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in the Fengtai battalion, plus the soldiers on Wu Liu's hand, the great thing has been accomplished, and the original grasp of only about five layers can now be added by two more layers. For a while, Kangxi's spirits were greatly lifted: "Grandson, thank the emperor and grandmother!" ”

Kangxi left Cining Palace, his steps became much brisker, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Suo Etu and Wolf Tan, who were following behind, didn't know why, they shook their heads at each other, and they didn't dare to ask each other.

Back at the Qianqing Palace, it was already dark. After retiring the palace maid and eunuch again, Kangxi said softly and emphatically to the two of them: "Suo Etu, wolf Qin!" ”

"The minions are here!" Both replied at the same time.

"Wolf Qin, I order you to keep an eye on the outside of the palace and keep in touch with Wu Liuyi. Make no mistake! ”

"Turn!" Suo Etu replied immediately.

"Suo Etu, the palace guards will comb it again tonight, and ambush in the Wuying Hall early every morning!"

"Command!"

"Okay, let's go! Don't leak a little bit of the news! Kangxi instructed again.

Wolf Qin was ordered out of the palace, and Kangxi took Suo Etu and went straight to Wuying Palace. Neither of them had time to have a quiet dinner, but only ate some pastries to cushion their stomachs. When they came to the Wuying Palace, the sixteen little Buku had just finished eating, and a group of people were practicing wrestling in the center of the hall. Buku means wrestling in the Manchu language, which can also be called wrestling and wrestling, which is evolved from the ancient Manchu game "riding a horse to fight". Dressed in a white short-sleeved wrestling shirt, Xiao Bukumen wrestled in pairs, and won or lost when he fell to the ground. These white short-sleeved wrestling shirts are specially made and different from ordinary clothes. In particular, the collar and placket are sewn back and forth by thread for seven or eight layers, and it is not easy to break no matter how much you pull back and forth when wrestling.

These sixteen people are all about the same age, the oldest is seventeen years old, the youngest is only fifteen years old, one year younger than Kangxi himself, and they are all carefully selected by Suo Etu. Suo Etu's identity, in public, he is Emperor Kangxi's personal bodyguard and personal guard, and he is inseparable from the emperor; On a backdrop occasion, he is also the head coach of this buku wrestling team. In the past few months, Suo Etu has often entered the Wuying Hall to direct these little Buku to practice wrestling every day.

Of course, these sixteen Buku don't know why, they don't know anyone, only Suo Etu, only the emperor. They only knew that the emperor was the biggest, so they only obeyed Kangxi's orders. The Bukus are strong and naturally strong, and they have been wrestling with Soetu for several months, and they are all skilled. Kangxi sat on the chair and calmly watched the Buku continue to practice, this is the day he was waiting for! (To be continued......)
