Chapter 18: The Emperor Moves His Troops at Night
Kangxi Tie blushed, holding the shoulders of the two guards, Xing Nian carried the palace lamp in front to lead the way, and returned to Wanqi Songfeng in the dark all the way. His hands and feet were cold, and he walked staggeringly, looking like he was lost and depressed.
Li Dequan, Liu Tiecheng and others, seeing him happily going out, came back with this appearance, they were surprised, and they didn't dare to ask. only urgently placed Kangxi to rest. The old eunuch stole that he had been infected with evil in the garden, and while taking people out to burn paper to exorcise evil spirits, he took the tranquilizer pill and served the emperor and swallowed the water.
Kangxi gradually came to his senses, but he was half-lying on the couch and didn't open his eyes. This world is too filthy, and the son actually prostitutes, and this kind of chaotic and ruinous thing that defeats the ancestors cannot be made public. To bring Liu Guiren into the Zongren Mansion, there is no need to explain any reason to the ministers, and the foreign ministers cannot interfere in the affairs of the inner palace. But what should be done with the evil seed Yinren? This time it must be abolished, but the abolished prince must have an explanation to the world! **This matter cannot be said, now that I and Xing Nian know about this, even if they don't show the news to their henchmen Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, they will lose the face of their ancestors for eighteen lifetimes. So where is the prince looking for? Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and whispered:
"Xing Nian!"
"The slave is here, is the master more comfortable?"
Kangxi glanced at Li Dequan, Liu Tiecheng and the palace maids, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, you all go out!" After everyone retreated, they whispered to Xing Nian, "You go to the Qingshu Mountain Pavilion, find the little palace maid Ying'er who is placed next to the crown princess Shi, tell me what Yinren has said and done since he went back, find out to me one by one, and bring the situation back as soon as possible." β
"Yes! Hooray, take care. However, Xing Nian knew that the emperor had been hurt physically and mentally, so he bowed his head and left with tears in his eyes.
Kangxi was just about to close his eyes again and take a nap, when he suddenly heard a sound of ping-pong in front of the two matching halls, and then Liu Tiecheng shouted loudly:
"Orodai, you want to die! Didn't see what this place is? β
"Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu Tiecheng...... You, you shit...... If the master is not there, it will be your turn, you will teach the old, the old, the old? Don't talk about this, this, this, this...... inside, it is dry, Qianqing Palace, the master has urine, urine...... Sprinkle it like! You, you, you...... Biting and biting mine, the chicken ......**! Suddenly, the drunkard fell to the ground. Kangxi's sleepiness was all yellow, he turned over and got up angrily, and paced out of the back room, Oro Dai looked up and saw it, he trembled with fright, and wanted to get up and kneel, but like a pug with a broken backbone, he arched forward and fell to the ground with his mouth open, and Fang spit out a few vague words:
"Slave, slave slave...... Half in the bag...... Rushed, rushed...... Cat pee ......"
"Drunk?" Kangxi sneered, "Liu Tiecheng, bundled!" β
"Emperor, Emperor......" Oro Dai seemed to wake up a little, "He...... Why be serious...... If you want to tie up, too, it can't be his turn Liu, Liu...... Back then, he rescued and rescued in Taihu Lake, his surname was Liu, where was ......"
"Fart!" Kangxi stomped his feet angrily and shouted, "Bundle stronger!" Pull him to the back stable, whip him forty lashes first, and then go down when he is sober! β
"Yes!" Liu Tiecheng, Delentai and Yang Dazhuang rushed up, tied up the Oro Dai five flowers, and dragged them down.
Li Dequan saw that Kangxi's cold sweat was soaked out, his face changed sharply, he stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, so he hurriedly went up to hold him. Several palace maids rushed up and helped Kangxi into the fast, and Li Dequan repeatedly ordered the palace maids to call the imperial doctor. Kangxi was still conscious, half-lying on the pillow of the big kang with a crooked face, and shook his head and said:
"No, I'm just having a palpitation for a while, just lie down, don't make the city stormy. Li Dequan, pour me a glass of Suhexiang wine. β
After drinking, Kangxi raised his hand:
"All of you go down!"
After falling asleep, Kangxi opened his eyes, and Xing Nian came back to his life. It is said that after the prince went back, he told the crown princess Shi that his prince was at the end of his life. Shi said that the emperor wants to abdicate the throne to you and be the emperor? Yinren smiled sadly, abdication? It's not that you don't know, before coming to Chengde, the guards of Yuqing Palace were all changed overnight, and I heard that the boss, the third, the fourth, and the eighth are all going to be crowned princes, and the emperor Ama has long since stopped treating me as a prince. Kangxi interjected:
"He didn't go to anyone?"
"I heard that I went to the Lion Garden," Xing Nian said in a snort, "When I went back to the Qingshu Mountain Pavilion to talk to the Shi family, I couldn't sleep, so he went to the Lion Garden where my brothers lived." I only took two personal soldiers, didn't call a car, and rode a horse. β
"Gui didn't go with him?"
"Ying'er said that Ah Gui suddenly fell ill and was chilly!"
"Ah, got it." Kangxi interrogated here, Delentai, Liu Decheng and Yang Dazhuang came in, and he still said half-crookedly:
"Liu Decheng, you go to pass on the two elder brothers Yinfu and Yinzhi, huh...... Ask Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi to come with you, don't alarm others, understand? β
After Liu Tiecheng left, Kangxi retreated from everyone, leaving only Delentai and Yang Dazhuang by his side, he closed his eyes as if he was recuperating, but in fact, there were waves of turbulence in his heart. The situation that Xing Nian brought back was both as he expected it and more serious than he expected. Who else should the brute go to the lion farm to find after doing such an unseemly thing? He has no doubts about the character of the fourth Yinzhen, but the thirteenth may be a gunman. Thinking of this, he put his shoes on the kang, paced as if measuring his thoughts, and after a long time, he stopped and said to the two:
"You can't sleep tonight. Holding my sword, Delentai rushed to the Karaqin Left Banner in the starry night, and ordered the wolf to take 30,000 cavalry to Chengde to garrison. Yang Dazhuang, you took the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office and quietly went to seal the Shuixin Pavilion - there was a homicide there, Ning'er was killed, and the body was buried on the spot. Liu Gui and the rest of the palace people were frightened, and I had someone transfer them - the matter is not secret, I will deal with the two according to military law, understand? β
"Piercing!" When the two of them heard this, they didn't know what had happened, and they left in fright. Outside Li Dequan's report:
"The prince Yinchu and Yinzhi, the ministers of the upper study, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, are ordered to knock on the emperor!" Kangxi waved his hand and said:
"Come in!"
Zhang Tingyu walked in with the second prince, only to see that the wind was brightly lit, people were coming in and out, and just now he met Delentai and Yang Dazhuang, the two imperial guards left in a hurry, and his heart beat the drum like a knock. What's going on? The sudden summoning of the prince and minister in the middle of the night must have been a very serious situation. got closer, but saw Kangxi sitting on the kang, Zhang Tingyu stepped forward and asked:
"Summoning the ministers and others in the middle of the night, what are the commands?"
"There are no big things, but they are not small!" Kangxi took a sip of tea, raised his voice and said, "Hengchen, I told you on the way, why do you still stay here to mess around when you transfer Oro Dai out?" I was so drunk just now, and I was still pretending to be dead and peeing in front of my palace! β
It turned out that this was the case, Zhang Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief and replied:
"Oro Dai is a first-class guard with a knife in front of the emperor, and he is a relative of the eighth son of the emperor, and the slave and the horse plan to discuss, it is best to issue a good battalion and hand it over to Zhao Fengchun for control, but this has to be issued a decree."
"Quasi-Decree!" Kangxi Wu laughed to himself, "He received forty lashes in the stable, and he probably can't walk." Tomorrow you will send a few royal guards and escort him to the Shanpu camp in ox carts. β
"Yes!" Zhang Tingyu agreed, but he was still suspicious in his heart: The third watch called someone in the middle of the night, just for this? Kangxi glanced at Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, and then moved his gaze to the two princes and said:
"The Minister of the Guard, in addition to the two of you, plus Yinchu and Yinzhi, the boss Yinchu is the main body."
The four of them looked at each other, stunned and at a loss. Ma Qi said nervously:
"Summoning ministers in the middle of the night, the slaves still think that someone is plotting against the grain!"
"It's okay," Kangxi smiled disguisedly, "just for that bastard of Oro Dai, disturbed my sleep, and thought about doing something." It's just a chat. β
"It's okay, it's okay." The honest Ma Qi smiled.
Zhang Tingyu rolled his eyes and muttered silently-he knows Kangxi better than his brothers, something must have happened! He already felt that heavy rain was coming, and the wind was full of buildings. Where does the wind come from, is it the prince? Or Yinxi? He had no time to judge.
Yinren was kicked by his angry father, and he knew that this kick would end his career as an old prince. It turned out that having sex with Liu Ruyan was almost crazy and anesthetized, but he didn't expect the problem to be so serious, and this kick woke him up completely. The son adulterated his father and concubine, ** insulted the ancestors, how could he tell the difference, how could he see his father again?
Yinren returned to the Qingshu Mountain Pavilion in a panic, and the crown princess Shi looked at him and asked him what happened, so he was overheard by Ying'er and told him. Usually cold to Shi, this burst into Shi's arms, as if only a woman's arms made him feel safe.
Shi is accustomed to the cold reception of the prince's husband, and has long lost the desire and passion for love, and even forgot to touch and warm men to the clouds. Lying in Shi's arms for a while, Yinren suddenly jumped up: You can't sit still, you have to think of something! So he called two soldiers and came to Pegasus, where the brothers lived in the Lion Garden.
Now the only master who can intercede with Huang Ama, Wang Luo, did not come this time; Zhu Tianbao and Zhang Tingzan were difficult to get close to Kangxi; Going to Yinxi for help is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. Looking for the boss, he has always been at odds with himself; The third child never showed his face, and after thinking about it, he had to ride a horse to the back of the garden to find the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
Yinzhen didn't see it, but the thirteenth brother Yinxiang was still practicing swords in the courtyard of Diecuixuan, and when he saw the prince and his two relatives rolling off the horse, Yinxiang hugged his fist and said:
"Prince, why are you here late at night?"
"Where's Yinzhen?" Yinren asked in a panic.
"The fourth brother got drunk at the sixth brother and went to bed early."
"Can you wake him up?"
"I'm afraid that the thunder won't wake him up," Yinxiang saw the prince's face, let him into the big shed and sit down on the kang, and asked in wonder, "What happened?" β
Yinren settled down, knowing that Yinxiang was Yinzhen's shadow, and the fourth child wanted to do anything, relying on this "desperate San Lang" to take the lead, it was better to tell him about it - knowing that Yinzhen was suspicious and refused to see it, and couldn't tell it, because he smiled:
"The night is as cold as water, the garden is lonely, and I somehow came here, and I wanted to talk to my brother."
"The prince knows that the thirteenth brother is a happy person, and he can't hide his words in his heart. I know that the prince is here late at night, and there must be something important, so you just have to say it without defense. β
Yinren was silent for a while, and then sighed:
"Brother, you're straightforward and fast-talking - what do you think of my treatment of you?"
"Grace is like a mountain!" When Yinxiang said this, Tears added, "All the brothers stepped on me, and the fourth brother and the prince secretly protected me, a little brother who has no mother." Otherwise, I would have died at the hands of those brothers. β
Seeing that the thirteenth brother was still so simple and righteous, Yinren suddenly knelt on his knees, choked up, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Thirteenth brother, you have to save me!"
Yinxiang was so shocked that he jumped up from the chair, was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the prince and said, "Prince, are you going to break me to death?" β
"Brother, I was plotted by someone, and a catastrophe is coming, you and the fourth brother can't die without help!"
The fourth brother Yinzhen was standing behind the screen at this time, and he was also stunned. I only heard the old thirteen comfort the prince and said:
"How dare you not save it? Prince, if you have something to say...... "He helped Yinren up, but the one here trembled even more, and said with tears:
"Huang Ama is rumbling from there, I'm afraid it will ...... Waste me! β
"Why?"
"I don't even know why." Yinren naturally couldn't talk about the matter of Shui Xinxie, and he snorted for a while, sighing, "Anyway, someone poisoned me-" He suddenly thought that Liu Ruyan was dedicated to the emperor by Yinren, and Liu Ruyan's sister was still in the Eighth Master's Mansion. Is all this deliberately arranged by the sinister and cunning Yinxi, so that Liu Guiren can seduce him and kill two birds with one stone - hurting the emperor and abolishing the prince. Thinking of this, he said like chaff all over his body, "Someone uses tricks to hurt both my father and the emperor, and my prince......"
"Don't worry, prince!" Yinxiang slashed his sword on the table, "The minister does his duty, the younger brother does his brother's way, whoever wants to hurt the emperor and the prince, I will fight with him." Although the prince is relieved to go back, as soon as the fourth brother wakes up, I will tell him. It's a big deal, I'll send my own soldiers to the Qingshu Mountain Pavilion to guard the prince! β
Yinzhen stepped back from behind the screen, pounded his forehead and sighed:
"Isn't this thirteenth brother going to rebel?"
On this night, Chengde Villa was simply upside down. The prince and his entourage had just ridden out of the lion park, but Li Dequan came with a holy decree. It turned out that few of the brothers in the Lion Park went to bed, only the sixth and tenth were kneeling there untidy, and the others seemed to be undressed, waiting there to see what was going to happen. After Li Dequan and the other elder brothers knelt down, they began to read:
Order: Yinren will not be allowed to drive unless he is edicted from now on. It was presented by Zhang Tingyu, the minister of the upper study
Fold. The eldest son of the Jin Emperor Yinzhen is the king of Zhijun, the third son of the emperor Yinzhi is the king of Chengjun, and the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen is Yongjun
Wang, the eighth son of the emperor, the king of Yinlu County, opened the government on an errand. The ninth son of the emperor Yinyu, the tenth son of the emperor Yinyu, and the thirteenth emperor
Zi Yinxiang and the fourteenth son of the emperor Yinyu gave Jin Beile.
Chin this!
After reading it, some people are happy and some are sad. Yinzhen and Yinxiang patted their pants and stood up and glanced at each other. What the prince said was confirmed, but he was still confused as to why he suddenly cooled the prince.
On the side of the pine wind, it was quiet at dawn. Kangxi slept peacefully in the back of the main hall, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi did not leave, and took a nap in the three bungalows in the south of the hall, Jianshizhai and Jingjia, and listened to the emperor's summons at any time. Zhang Tingyu was careful, and before going to sleep, he redeployed the defenses inside and outside the garden. More than 20 imperial guards, the garden gate was sealed like an iron bucket, except for Delentai Zhang Tingyu who didn't know where, Liu Decheng and Yang Dazhuang, who were strong in martial arts, guarded the front door of Kangxi's kang, and even the eunuchs and palace maids were not allowed to approach.
Zhang Tingyu's original intention was to let Kangxi sleep peacefully. Since the entire Forbidden Garden is in a hurry, unexpected things will definitely happen right now, don't let Kangxi sleep enough, the elderly people will be dizzy and lose energy, how can they deal with the sudden change of big things!
Zhang Tingyu fell on the kang, but he couldn't sleep at all. He simply got up and drank a bowl of millet porridge, ate some snacks, and went to the main hall to ask Liu Tiecheng, the emperor slept soundly, and then went back to Jianshizhai and fell asleep. After a month's fatigue in Chengde, I didn't close my eyes all night last night, and after this sleep, I slept until the time of Shenyou, when the red sun was sinking in the west. woke up, but saw Li Dequan standing in front of the kang with a smile, and said happily:
"Master Zhang woke up in the end, Long live the lord called the slave to come and see it twice-"
"Hooray awake?" Zhang Tingyu immediately rolled off the kang and said while dressing up. "Is he in good spirits?"
"Hooray, wake up for an hour." Li Dequan said, "The saint is in a very good mood, and he wants the servants to invite Zhang and Ma to have dinner together on the Songfeng attic, and they are not allowed to wake them up." So the minions had to run back and wait for you to wake up. β
"There is Father-in-law Lao." After Zhang Tingyu washed the grass, he immediately followed Li Dequan to Jingjia's room, where Ma Qi was already waiting for him in a full robe.
Coming to the Songfeng Attic, Liu Tiecheng and Yang Dazhuang had accompanied Kangxi to enjoy the scenery on the platform. At that time, a huge golden-red sunset, half of the mountain, half of which was still on the red cloud, spouted ten thousand golden arrows, piercing and burning all the fiery red sunset in the western sky, and the sky seemed to be a raging fire. The lake, hot springs, mountain villas, as well as the palaces, palaces, water pavilions, pavilions, temples and towers in the mountains and rivers in front of you are all painted with a layer of red glow and inlaid with bright gold edges. Kangxi stared into the distance on the platform, his thoughts were flying, and he couldn't help but chant aloud:
Red clouds are like volcanoes about to fall,
10,000 golden arrows shot at the slaughter.
The water is red and the blood is rising,
The night is sinking into this building.
Donβt wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you
There has been no smooth road to heaven since ancient times.
"Hooray, so happy!" Zhang Tingyu walked behind Kangxi, he naturally heard Kangxi's sigh about the current situation and his worries about the future of the royal family contained in the improvised poem, so he chanted a poem by Yan Shu, wanting to dilute the worries in the saint's heart:
A glass of new lyrics,
Last year's weather old pavilion,
When does the sun set?
Helplessly, the flowers fell,
DΓ©jΓ vu Yan returns,
The small garden incense path wanders alone.
"Oh, Hengchen, Ma Qi, you are here," Kangxi turned around and walked to the table that the eunuchs had prepared a long time ago, "Come on, hurry up and get into the table." β
Kangxi sat down first, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi stood on both sides, looking at each other and not daring to sit down. Li Dequan was pouring wine into Kangxi's cup, Kangxi glanced at the two, picked up the chopsticks and nodded:
"No formality, it's not in the temple. Li Dequan, watch and sit! β
Li Dequan moved the two chairs that had been placed there earlier, and Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi sat down with their buttocks on their hands. Zhang Tingyu picked up the wine glass, turned his body upside down again, and toasted to Kangxi:
"Hooray, you've slept well and look much better. Toast this glass of wine and wish the saints a long life! β
Kangxi took the wine and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said:
"Heng Chen, you and Ma Qi are both Confucian scholars, so you don't have to be as tacky as ordinary ministers. Who can live for 10,000 years? I can live to be seventy years old, and I will be satisfied. β
"The Holy One will live past a hundred years old," Ma Qi said, taking a sip of wine, "I hope you will open up for everything." As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the mountains and melons of the Qing Dynasty stretch, long live don't have to worry too much about the prince and the emperor's brothers. β
"Ahem, Mazzie!" Kangxi smiled bitterly, "Hungry people don't know how hungry people are, do you stand in my position and think about it?" Don't worry about it, they've already climbed on top of you to and pee, can you leave it alone? β
Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to drink too much wine, for fear that he would lose his temper in front of the Long Live Lord. Besides, Kangxi's last few words made him feel the seriousness of the situation. Who does "and pee on the head" refer to, and what does it refer to? Could it be the crown prince? No wonder Kangxi was so angry and excited last night, and he didn't close his eyes all night. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't rebel or tried to kill the king and usurp the throne, then the adjustment of the internal guard ministers, the cold treatment of the prince and the division of the prince could all be done today! What happened to Prince Yinren? This is related to the safety of the court and the fortunes of the country!
Zhang Tingyu was pondering and meditating, when he suddenly heard Kangxi ask loudly:
"Who is that?"
Zhang Tingyu followed the prestige, only to see a team of three or four hundred cavalry rushing over from the other side of the Bifeng Gate in the garden, raising a line of pink and yellow flying dust in the last afterglow of the setting sun.
Zhang Tingyu immediately got up and said to Liu Tiecheng, who was standing at the top of the stairs: "Whose soldier is this!" Dare to be presumptuous in the garden, startled the royal driver, you quickly go and call the leader! β
"Piercing!" Liu Tiecheng flew away, and Zhang Tingyu said to Yang Dazhuang again:
"Quickly go and get the guards with knives in front of the palace, and call them all down the platform."
Under the stage of the Songfeng attic, dozens of guards are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the guards are like iron buckets. Suddenly, Liu Tiecheng came with a military attachΓ©, climbed the stairs, and the military attache knelt down and kowtowed:
"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! β
Kangxi glanced at it, didn't know it, and asked with a straight face:
"Who are you?"
"The slave is Ling Pu, the commander of Rehe, and he was ordered to lead the army to protect the emperor!"
Zhang Tingyu looked at Ling Pu, and doubts arose in his heart: This Ling Pu is Yinren's nursing brother, and at this time, he said that he was ordered to lead the troops into the garden, could it be that the prince really had a rebellious heart? He couldn't help but shudder, and when he looked at Kangxi again, he also asked viciously with a fierce light in his eyes: "Ling Pu, who told you to bring troops into the garden?" β
"Back to the emperor, the subordinates were instructed by the thirteenth master to lead troops to guard."
Kangxi, Zhang Tingyu, and Ma Qi were all taken aback. I saw Kangxi's face twitch a few times, and he pretended to be calm:
"The ministers of the guards beside me are Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, and the prince of the guards is Yinchu. Why did the Thirteenth Master ask you to bring troops into the garden? Misheard! β
"Hooray!" Ling Pu realized the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly took out a piece of paper from the page of his boots, held it with both hands, and said tremblingly, "Military orders are like mountains, and subordinates always dare to play!" It was Oro Dai who sent someone to spread the word, with the crown prince's handwritten message, saying that the old guards had been transferred, and asked the servants to bring more people to protect the emperor......"
Zhang Tingyu felt that the situation was getting more and more serious, and shouted:
"How many people did you bring?"
"Fifteen hundred, all of them have been brought by my Chinese military camp." Ling Pu was not afraid, glanced at Zhang Tingyu, and turned to Kangxi, "Please Emperor Shengju: The Thirteenth Master is the banner master of the slaves, and he has the license plate of the guards, so the slaves dare not come!" β
Kangxi motioned for Li Dequan to take over the so-called "handwritten message" from Ling Pu, and said with a calm smile: "Ling Pu, I originally planned to summon you to the villa, but Chengde's garrison was taken over by the Kazuo Green Battalion, and the 12,000 vanguard cavalry of the wolf will arrive within half an hour." These people you bring with you go back at once, and you stay. When the wolf-blind soldiers arrive, they will all be under your control. "Say it, and say to Liu Tiecheng, "You accompany Ling Pu, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi to the Ling Pu army to announce the decree, and ask the sergeants to rush back overnight." The Green Battalion of the Royal Forest Army here is not the same, and it is not child's play to make a misunderstanding! β
Liu Tiecheng accompanied Ling Pu downstairs, Kangxi stopped Zhang Tingyu again, and whispered a few words, just to ask him to verify whether Ling Pu's transfer of troops was related to the prince.
After Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi announced the decree in front of Lingpu's army, the sergeants quietly and quickly withdrew from the garden and returned to the camp. He called Ling Pu aside and asked in a low voice:
"General Ling, Oro Dai went to the Shanpu camp last night, is it someone from the prince's mansion who passed the message to you?"
"Prime Minister Zhang," Ling Pu looked dazed, "Who dares to lie to you about this kind of thing!" What does this have to do with the crown prince? It's obviously the handwritten edict of the Thirteenth Master! β
"The oracle can also be imitated!"
"You said to imitate the handwriting of the Thirteenth Master?"
"Possibly?"
"Who dares to do this! Not afraid of killing heads? β
"I-" Zhang Tingyu figured out that Ling Pu was indeed in the dark, and it was inconvenient to talk deeply, and smiled, "I'm also talking casually, maybe it's all a misunderstanding, it's just that the general has worked hard." Yang Dazhuang asked a few guard brothers to accompany General Ling to have a few drinks to relieve fatigue. β
Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and Yang Dazhuang came back to resume their lives, and saw the figures of thousands of pine winds from a distance, going in and out, and they didn't know what was going on. When I looked closer, the eight mules and horses in front of the royal chariot were spewing rough air and kicking their hooves, just waiting for the eunuch to set off with a whip. Zhang Tingyu was shocked: Where is the emperor going tonight? Could it be that the pine wind is not safe?
When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Kangxi walked out of it, followed by a large group of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids. As soon as he saw Zhang Tingyu and the others coming back, Kangxi beckoned and said:
"Hengchen, you're all back, get on the horse."
"Where are Banzai going?" Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi asked in unison.
"Go to the Garden of Ten Thousand Trees!" Kangxi said casually, "I have lived here for more than a month, and I am tired of living." β
Wanshuyuan is located in the northern plain area of the villa, with the foothills in the north and the Saihu Lake in the south. This is the garden completed in the 42nd year of Kangxi, no civil engineering is applied in the garden, and yurts and mobile houses are set up according to Mongolian customs. It is the place where the emperor grazes, where he has held equestrian, acrobatic, and wrestling competitions, received the leader of the Mongolian Durbot tribe, Sancheling, and also received envoys from Britain, Korea, Burma, Annam, Nanzhang and other countries.
The guard horse team opened the way, the royal chariot was in front, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi followed closely behind, and the guards and princes Yinfu and Yinzhi were also called to come, and their chariots and personal soldiers, and the royal forest army Hao Hao Tang Tang followed behind. Zhang Tingyu stared at the eagle on horseback, looking left and right, for fear that if another Lingpu-style unedicted cavalry formation was killed in the dark, it would really be out of control. He had already guessed the emperor's thoughts: on the grassland of Wanshuyuan and Pingchuan, there were dozens of yurts, and the guards were naturally safer; And it is the place where the wolf-blind escort green battalion soldiers must pass. This is called moving the hammer and seeing the wolf and the soldiers and horses faster, which shows how worried Kangxi is!
Arriving at the Ten Thousand Trees Garden, Kangxi had just sat down in the Yellow Shed Imperial Tent, and sure enough, thousands of horses were galloping on the grassland, sweeping like a storm. Suddenly, Delentai led the wolf into the account, knelt on the ground and bowed, and the two said at the same time:
"Long live, Weichen's escort is late, I hope to beg for forgiveness!"
"Hurry up!" Kangxi relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, "General Wolf, I transferred you here because someone was plotting against you, and I transferred the cavalry of the Lingpu Middle Battalion. I order you to line up 30,000 cavalry around the Garden of Ten Thousand Trees, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without my edict. Delentai, you lead the wolf general to choose a big tent nearby, and listen to the rumors at any time! β
"Piercing!" The two are gone.
In the felt curtain, in addition to the eunuchs, guards, and palace maids who were busy coming in and out, Zhang and Ma and the two princes Yinfu and Yinzhi stood with their hands down. Kangxi was extremely excited, and as soon as the wolf left, he ordered someone to treat the night meal, saying that he wanted to discuss politics. Seeing that his father was so nervous, Yinchu locked his eyebrows and whispered to Zhang Tingyu:
"Master Zhang, I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late with my master again tonight."
Zhang Tingyu thought about it and kowtowed to Kangxi and persuaded him:
"Long live I'm really tired, according to the slave, don't think about anything tonight, don't do anything, it's right to sleep sweetly. The affairs outside were arranged by the minions and the horses. β
"Sit down, all of you!" According to Mongolian customs, Kangxi sat cross-legged on the felt bed and said, "I am also strange, I have never been in such a good spirit, I just want to do things." β
"My lord," Ma Qi persuaded him, knowing that it was not a good thing to be too excited, "the more this is the case, the more you should recuperate the dragon body." β
"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the garden is already in a hurry." Kangxi frowned and said, "Now that someone has broken into the forbidden garden with a murder weapon, the yellow finch catches the cicada, and I don't know if the praying mantis is here, how can I lie down in peace?" β
"The matter has been dealt with," said Mazi, "and the slave will not be able to guarantee with his life, and the master should rest." β
"Haha," Kangxi sneered, "How much is your life worth to guarantee my safety?" To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the arrival of the wolf's soldiers, I would have set off and returned to Beijing. As he spoke, he shook a piece of paper over, "Look at it, this is what Li Dequan took from Ling Pu, and the matter is not very clear?" β
Ma Qi picked up the paper, and Zhang Tingyu leaned over to take a look:
