Chapter 114 - Senior Sister Sends Treasure Book
Hongyi was very reluctant to be coerced by Kong Sizhen into a side hall on the east side of Cining Palace, and very knowingly asked Xiao Liangzi, Pu and Sun to rest outside the hall.
Could it really be that something is going to happen? That's nature! However, Hongyi is unusually sober, and those fantasies are just self-entertainment. If there is nothing serious, in the emperor's palace in the morning, and in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace just now, this Kong Sizhen will not remind him again and again that there is something to show himself.
No matter what it is, it will have something to do with Kong Sizhen's life experience! And this is what interests Hongyi the most.
Let's not talk about how Kong Sizhen consciously and willingly or passively and helplessly got involved in the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" in history, because Hongyi didn't know that the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories would not be staged as scheduled, and whether she could return to Beijing in the Kangxi era to spend her old age in peace, just the tens of thousands of "Heavenly Blessing Soldiers" left by his father Kong Youde, who are now being helped by the imperial court, are enough to attract Hongyi's attention.
"Aunt Sizhen, Hongyi wanted to talk to his aunt in the morning at Huang Ama's place, but there was an emperor at that time, so he had to delay until this time." After entering the door, without waiting for Kong Sizhen to speak, Hongyi first broke free of the little hand that had been grabbed by her, and saluted respectfully.
"Hehe, Xuan Ye, although you and I are inferior in rank, didn't you say it just now, just call me sister. Besides, the Queen Mother agreed, and there will be no one around in the future, how do our sisters and brothers commensurate? Kong Sizhen turned around, squatted in front of Hongyi, and said very kindly, but in Chinese.
"Oh, Xuan Ye obeys orders!" Hongyi insisted on using Manchu.
"Don't you treat me as your own?" Kong Sizhen was a little lost. Chinese asked.
"Why did my sister ask such a question?" Hongyi saw that the girl in front of him looked lonely, and the couldn't help but have to change to Chinese.
"I'll just say, your mother Concubine Kang has been talking to me in Chinese for a long time. Her family is actually a Han from the dragon before entering the customs, are you her son, and you don't know Chinese? Kong Sizhen became a little comfortable at this time, and while talking, he took Hongyi's hand again, and sat on the kang under the south window one after the other.
"You all go down first, I have something to say to Lord Belle." This is what Kong Sizhen ordered the palace maids in his house.
"Yes......" The two personal palace maids said goodbye.
Hongyi remained silent: You hold back left and right. There are indeed some important things to do!
"Xuan Ye. You and I have the same Han bloodline, and you are God-given Chery, so naturally those ordinary people are incomparable. Therefore, Sizhen has an invitation today. I wonder if you can say yes? Kong Sizhen waited for the slave to retreat. Straight to the point, he came up with his own ideas.
"Auntie. Xuan Ye is young, and he can't do big things, but after this~ in the palace. My mother and I can do something for you. When Hongyi heard this, he slightly realized that there were some advantages and disadvantages of the Manchu and Han in her words, so he changed the topic and said what Concubine Kang would say to Kong Sizhen in the morning, and took this step by step as a camp and observed slowly.
It turned out that since the crossing, although Hongyi has often been in and out of Cining Palace, and has long been familiar with Kong Sizhen, but every time she encounters a major event in the court, this Han girl has avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, so she has paid attention to Kong Sizhen's boldness and wit of the city government, that is, she has often been in and out of the emperor Fulin in recent times. Especially after today's twists and turns, Hongyi judged that Kong Sizhen, who was sad and earnest recorded in the official history, had wisdom and ideas that he didn't know before. The point is that I can only guess what this idea is, but I can't say it.
"Hou~ The palace really needs Sister Kang and you to take care of it, and Sizhen naturally relies on it. In Jingren Palace just now, Sizhen also heard what Sister Tong said, and knew that you were already looking at me. "What a smart Kong Sizhen! In a word, Hongyi was brought to the front of the stage, so that you had to tell the truth.
"Auntie, don't get me wrong! In the morning in the reign of the palace, Xuan Ye saw that you seemed to have something to say to me, so he asked Eniang to be harmonious first. Hongyi blushed slightly, but he was still halfway through the words, depending on what you thought. It is true that you are a Han girl, and you also have the favor of the queen mother and the favor of the emperor, but if you suddenly make a statement similar to "anti-Qing and Mingming", now, I Hongyi will not be able to save you.
"Alas, Sizhen is lonely and bitter, who are the thousands of words in this belly to tell me!" Kong Sizhen started her head, but she didn't say more, letting her eyes fill with tears.
"Auntie, do you miss King Dingnan's son and your younger brother?" Hongyi was naturally a little unbearable when he saw the girl crying, but he knew that this was also the only magic weapon for those girls with smart minds, so he still comforted him a little.
Kong Sizhen wiped her tears and nodded at the same time: "My brother Kong Tingxun is only ten years old, but he is deeply in the hands of Li Dingguo's old thief, and he doesn't know life and death. I, as a sister, can only cry alone in the deep palace, unable to help, how can I not break people's hearts? ”
"Oh, it's heart-wrenching! However, Ji people have their own natural appearance, and my aunt doesn't have to be too sad. Hongyi comforted on the lips, but knew in his heart that if according to the original historical context, in more than three years, that is, in the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, with the advance of the Qing army to Yungui, the seat of the Yongli regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Kong Tingxun, who had been a prisoner for 6 years, became a victim of the Southern Ming Dynasty's revenge on the Qing Dynasty and was executed by Li Dingguo at the end of that year.
For Kong Sizhen, whose family is ruined, now he can only pin his hopes on his only relative in the world. Hongyi categorically can't tell some big truths that predict the future good and evil.
"I hope so! But if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Ting Xun will only be more than lucky in the future! As soon as Kong Sizhen said this, Hongyi was very surprised, and unconsciously asked:
"How do you know?"
After finishing speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, as if he was looking forward to the early death of his younger brother. Fortunately, this sentence is just a question.
"My father's old general, Line Guoan, is now packing up the old soldiers in the Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou generations, and is entangled with Nanming Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others, so naturally some family letters have been sent to me." Kong Sizhen said it tightly.
"Oh, but that doesn't prove that Brother Ling is more than lucky? Moreover, the imperial court is using troops in the southwest. The soldiers of the Eight Banners are also making every effort to eradicate those bandits, and it is estimated that it will not be long before my aunt will be able to get the good news that my brother will return to the north safely. Hongyi decided to comfort him and ask again.
"Xuan Ye doesn't have to comfort me. It was precisely the imperial court that used troops in the southwest on a large scale, and my younger brother's court training was in danger. When the imperial court really calms the southwest, it is estimated that it is him who ......" Kong Sizhen burst into tears.
"Why?"
"Now that the war is stalemate, Li Dingguo's old thief still has a trace of face, so naturally he will not harm my younger brother. But once the imperial soldiers are pressed and the momentum is like a bamboo, and he is difficult to support, I am afraid that he will be angry with the court training! Woo woo...... Kong Sizhen finally lost her voice and cried bitterly.
"Auntie...... Aunt. This may not be ......," Hongyi marveled at the little thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. But with such a different ability to judge, I have to admit that what she said is very reasonable, so it is powerless to comfort her.
"Auntie, Xuan Ye is really ...... Alas......"
"Nope. But Lord Belle can save him! Kong Sizhen suddenly held up and cried. Staring straight at Xiao Xuanye!
"Me? ......" Hongyi was confused.
"Lord Belle. Please save my brother's life! Kong Sizhen stopped watching, and suddenly knelt in front of Hongyi from the edge of the kang.
"Auntie, please get up! Hurry up, please! Although Xuan Ye is a lord and has four positions, he is all idle as a Beijing teacher. If you don't command the troops, let alone fight on the front line, how can you rescue? Hongyi hurriedly jumped down from the kang and stretched out his hand to hug each other.
"You don't have to go to Lord Belle in this matter! Aren't you the prime minister of the Lower Five Banners Clan? Kong Sizhen didn't get up, but grabbed Hongyi's hand and asked.
"Yes, but what does this have to do with the war in the Southwest?"
"Didn't you say that your Rakshasa team had a dispute with the Gate Guard Military Academy at Xi'an Gate this morning?"
"Not bad." Hongyi still had no clue, so he had to nod frequently.
"Then Xi'an Gate is garrisoned with red flags?"
"Not bad?"
"Lord Belle has resolved the entanglement with the red flag today?"
"Relying on the emperor's Ama Tianwei can be regarded as turning hostility into jade."
"The red flag will naturally give you the face of the prime minister! The Red Flag Manchuria is the capital of Zhuo Luo, but he is fighting in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou with the Red Flag under his command? ”
"It's ......" Hongyi suddenly opened up, this Kong Sizhen is in the big interior, but he has heard a lot about external affairs, is it difficult to ......
"Isn't he Luo Zhuo's surname Tong Jia?"
"This, indeed." This is the truth, the Red Flag Manchurian Governor Luo Zhuo's original name was Tong Jia? Luo Zhuo, but the family is an authentic Manchurian, and his "reborn grandfather" Tong Tulai's ancestor Tong Yangzhen, Tong Yangxing, defected to Manchuria, and attached the Han surname "Tong" to the Manchu surname "Tong Jia", which are two concepts.
"But he and my mother are not from this family!" That's all Hony can say.
Sizhen knew that he Luo Zhuo and his father, Ba Duli, were both Manchurians who had lived in Tongjiajiang (present-day Tonghua, Jilin) for generations. Sizhen also knew that Tong Ezhen [referring to Tong Tulai, the father of Concubine Kang of Tong Jia's family, was originally a Han after the Han Army's Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen]. But since they are all members of the Tong Jia clan, if Lord Belle wants to bring a message to Luo Zhuo, he can still do it......" Kong Sizhen knelt like that, with a pair of big teary eyes, and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance was about to drill into Hongyi's heart......
Hongyi avoided Kong Sizhen's eager gaze, but secretly thought to himself in his heart...... Indeed, although Tong Tulai is a Han Chinese, his ancestors have been in the dragon for a long time, and although he is in the Han army, he can be regarded as half a Manchurian. If he took the initiative to climb a relative with Luo Zhuo or something, it is estimated that he would not be unable to get off the stage. It's just that Luo Zhuo will muttered two sentences of "far-fetched" behind his back. The question is whether it's worth it......
"If the sergeants who returned to Beijing for reorganization with the red flag return to the front line, Lord Belle can ask someone to bring a letter to give a message, and Sizhen is grateful!" Kong Sizhen added another sentence, indicating that he knew that a team of red-flag sergeants had entered Beijing.
Hehe, you're a smart little Lori, you can't hide all these militaristic events! Hongyi was surprised in his heart, but he followed Kong Sizhen's words and thought of Mara's brother and Tuo, and this thought just brought out another plan of his own! Why don't you add two to five, and then push the boat downstream......
"Okay, my aunt trusts me so much, Xuan Ye tries her best to do it! But in this army, we are thousands of miles away, so we can only do our best! I will ask Lord Luo Zhuo to hurry up and suppress it, and at the same time pay attention to the whereabouts of Brother Ling...... "Hongyi made up his mind, and finally opened Chrysostom and promised to come down.
"No, no, no! Lord Belle, don't move the army together? Kong Sizhen was so frightened that her face was pale.
"What did you say?" Hongyi didn't believe his ears anymore.
"Lord Belle, if you speed up the attack, I'm afraid that Li Dingguo's old thief dog will jump off the wall in a hurry!"
"And what do you mean?"
"Slowly."
"Slowly? I'm afraid it doesn't match the national policy......"
"As long as I don't go on a big scale and leave some time for Sizhen, I may be able to save my brother from fire and water......"
"Oh, I see." Hongyi understood, no wonder the Queen Mother tried her best to restrain this little girl, it turned out that in the remnants of the Confucian family in the southwest, there were many people who swore to serve her.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Hongyi finally agreed.
"Sizhen for my deceased father and deceased mother, thank Lord Belle for his great kindness!" Kong Sizhen heard this, and went down with a bang.
"Auntie, please get up! Xuan Ye didn't dare to accept this gift! ”
"Sizhen said a long time ago, there is a good thing to give to Lord Baylor. You wait here for a while, and Sizhen will come when he goes. After speaking, Kong Sizhen got up from the ground, wiped the tears on his cheeks, turned around and went to the inner room, leaving Xiao Xuanye behind him with an expectant face.
A moment later, Kong Sizhen came out with a blue cloth bag commonly used by Han people.
"It's ......," Hongyi didn't know why.
"Xuan Ye, come and see, you can use this thing?" Kong Sizhen changed his words back to the word "Xuanye", no longer called "Lord Belle", and at the same time respectfully placed the burden on the kang table, and gently unfolded it, and a stack of untidy books that had already been rubbed appeared in front of Hongyi.
"The Complete Book of Martial Arts?" Hongyi read the top book cover.
"Aunt Sizhen, this is a military book? Do you want me to learn it now? ”
"Hehe, there's another one below, Xuan Ye will take a look." Kong Sizhen picked up the top books, revealing another book below.
"The Divine Machine of the West Far?" Hongyi was very obedient and continued to read the name aloud.
"Exactly, can Xuan Ye use it?" Kong Sizhen smiled but did not speak.
"This military book Xuan Ye reads it now, I'm afraid it ......"
"Xuan Ye doesn't know, this is not an ordinary military book, but a military book about the artillery you said!"
"Artillery!" Hongyi took a copy suddenly, but he didn't dare to be big, and gently held it in the palm of his hand, looking at Kong Sizhen in surprise, like worshipping a visitor from outside the world! (To be continued......)
