Chapter 444: The Fall of Talent

Listening to Kangxi's inquiry, Ge Jitai sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "The minister wants to ask the emperor to see something first,"

Kangxi saw Ge Jitai's face depressed, and his heart couldn't help but sink slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a brocade cotton cloth roll carried in by several guards from outside the hall,

"It's ......"

Kangxi looked at the things that were brought up to the hall, frowned slightly and raised his handsome long eyebrows, and looked sideways at Ge Jitai,

Ge Jitai didn't speak, only waved his hand slightly, and several guards rolled the cloth on the ground and slowly spread it out.

All the ministers on the side were curious, and poked their heads out to look at the center of the hall.

Huai Sleeve and Zhu Hetana, who were sitting at the banquet table next to them, also looked at the ground curiously,

"Look, it's a map of the territory," as the cloth scroll unfolded, some of the ministers couldn't help but exclaim,

When the cloth scroll is fully unfolded, a complete and detailed map of the territory is displayed in front of everyone,

Kangxi looked at the complete territory map in front of him in surprise, and looked sideways at Ge Jitai for a while: "General, Lord Rong, he ......."

Kangxi seemed to faintly sense something, and his voice was very low,

Gu Zhenguan, Wu Hancha and the others who had been friends with Rong Ruo all looked at Ge Jitai nervously at the moment,

Chang Ning vaguely felt something, his eyes unconsciously crossed everyone, and he stared at the sleeve on Zhu Hetana's side,

I saw that at this moment, the jade face of the sleeve was completely lost, the pearl shell teeth bit the pale lower lip tightly, and the watery eyes were tightly fixed on Ge Jitai,

"A month ago, a large landslide occurred in the Yinshan Mountains in northern Xinjiang, and Lord Rong ...... him" Ge Jitai said this, only sighed lightly, and couldn't go on.

Hearing this, Kangxi slowly lowered his eyes, turned around and reached out to grab the scroll in the tray, picked the green tendons on the back of his hand, slowly walked up to the dragon chair, and then turned back, and the circles under his eyes were quietly inlaid with red edges.

On the banquet table next to her, Zhu Hetana held the hand of Huai Sleeve tightly, and the long red jade armor went straight into the flesh of her palm, and the blood slowly oozed out along her fingers, but she still pressed the hand of Huai Sleeve desperately.

"Even if Rong Ruo is a corpse today, you have to endure it for me," Zhu Hetana's face was as heavy as ice, her words were solemn, and she said in a low voice to her sleeves,

Huai Sleeve couldn't hear anything at the moment, his eyes were only staring at the unfolded territory map on the ground, and he didn't even cry, let alone hear what Ge Jitai said next,

"The landslide area is very wide, Rong people lived on the mountain with dozens of people the day before, and it rained suddenly at night, and the next day, there were a few soldiers who rolled down along the mountain, fortunately returned to the camp in northern Xinjiang, and reported the matter to me.

On the same day, I led more than 3,000 people to search for several days in the place where Lord Rong disappeared, and dug out more than a dozen corpses, but I never found the body of Lord Rong, only these two things, according to the accompanying soldiers, these two things are the things that Lord Rong carried with him......"

Ge Jitai's words fell, and the hall was suddenly silent, Wu Hancha, Gu Zhenguan, Xu Qianxue and others had already red eyes,

Even Chang Ning, who was witty and cheerful, couldn't help but raise his hand and quietly wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeve at this moment.

Among the ministers on the side, those who intersected with Rong Ruo in the past, regardless of their status, couldn't help but sigh and sigh, and sighed that this was a jealous talent.

Kangxi held the scroll tightly in his hand, and for a moment, he sighed lightly: "I also looked at Rong Ruo's "Tongzhitang Collection" the day before yesterday, thinking that Lord Rong has been on this trip for more than a year, and in a few days, I will also hold a wedding banquet for him, but I don't want to ......."

The hall that was originally singing and dancing was silent at this moment, and Concubine Hui, who was Rong Ruo's cousin, heard this, and her eyes were red.

Slowly got up and walked to Kangxi's side, and said in a trembling voice: "Please long live the lord's mourning, cherish the dragon's body, if Rong Ruo's loyalty is clear, even if it encounters an accident, the spirit of the sky does not want to be too sad for him......"

Kangxi stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Hui's hand, slowly stood up, and said softly: "Rong Ruozhi's loyalty, I know it in my heart, today I suddenly heard this bad news, the banquet, let's disperse, drink ......."

Kangxi looked around the hall when he spoke, and his eyes finally fell on Lord Pall, and said softly: "Lord Pall Squirt held a funeral for him, and the ministers all went to mourn, and on the day of the spirit, I should go in person,"

Pall sprayed immediately to kneel on the ground to receive the order, Kangxi slowly walked down the steps, holding Li Dequan's arm and walking towards the apse, and all the ministers in the palace also dispersed.

Shen Hongfei walked out with everyone, and as soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Guan Qianxiang standing alone by the pillar next to the hall and did not leave immediately.

Shen Hongfei remembered that Fang Cai had blown the flute to relieve the siege of the sleeves, and couldn't help but go over and arch his hand: "The young prince today is a song of flute music for the girl with the sleeves, which is really a chivalrous move,"

Guan Qianxiang only arched his hand, turned his face away, and didn't seem to want to say more.

Shen Hongfei touched a soft nail inexplicably, turned around and saw Chang Ning passing by his side, and couldn't help but speak: "Prince Qianxiang used to look quite easy-going, how can he be so arrogant and untamed today,"

Chang Ning said angrily: "You still need to ask about this kind of thing, if your sister is widowed, are you still happy?"

When Shen Hongfei heard this, he knocked his head hard: "Oh, damn it, I actually forgot that Lord Rong is the brother-in-law of Prince Qianxiang,"

Chang Ning glanced at Shen Hongfei and looked back at Guan Qianxiang, but saw that he was still standing next to the vermilion pillar, with a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes staring at the hall......

At this time, in the palace, the people were almost gone, and only General Ge Jitai and Zhu Hetana and Huai Sleeve father and daughter were left.

"Amma, you have a long journey, Malhan must have prepared a rest garden, you should go back to the house to rest early," Zhu Hetana took the hand in her arms, slowly stood up and said,

Ge Jitai has not seen Huai Sleeve for two years, and he is very worried in his heart, but at this moment he can see that he is well, and his heart is stable, and he said gently: "Today, I can see that your two sisters are safe and sound, and Ama is relieved to be able to see Huai'er in person, it is even more unexpected, it just so happens that your grandmother has a proverb for me to bring to you,"

As Ge Jitai spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to his sleeve,

Huai Sleeve's heart was in turmoil at the moment, but because he was in front of Amma, he endured the grief in his heart, and reached out to take the letterhead,

"Grandmother and E-niang are in good health," Djukhtana asked.

Ge Jitai nodded: "It's all good, it's just that your grandmother is old, and she often thinks about the things when your sisters were young,"

When the father and daughter were talking to each other, a father-in-law came over and said, "General, long live Lord is waiting for you in Zhaoren Palace, talk about Lord Rong, and have some things I want to ask the general carefully,"

Ge Jitai nodded: "My father-in-law will call back to Long Live Lord, I will go immediately,"

The father-in-law answered, turned around, and went.

"Ama go, I'll send Huai'er back, and I'll wait for you at home," said Jukhtana.

Ge Jitai nodded, turned around and just walked a few steps, but he heard that his sleeves suddenly knelt on the ground behind him, and said in a trembling voice: "Amma, Huai'er implores Amma, after two years, Huai'er must be taken out of the palace, Huai'er is willing to return to the Jiangbei General's Mansion and serve under his parents' knees for a long time,"
