Kangxi slept until the end of the morning, and the card woke up. Gao Shiqi had already come in and waited by the kang, and when he saw what Kangxi wanted to eat, he knew that his illness had been cured, so he hurriedly brought a bowl of fresh milk and let Kangxi lie on the bed and drink it. Waiting for Suo Etu and Mingzhu to go out, Gao Shiqi slowly told Kangxi about the situation of Tuxietu Khan's daughter Ah Xiu coming to the store last night, and said: "Please master will, how to settle this matter?" ”

"Really?" Kangxi sat up with his hands propped up, "Why don't you play it early?" ”

Gao Shiqi smiled and said: "Once the emperor is in poor health, he is sleeping soundly, how can the slave be disturbed?" Second, the snow doesn't stop, and I can't walk, and the slave thinks that this is not an urgent military situation......"

"Send them to you!" Kangxi said as he got up, wearing a satin crown topped with a six-in-one red velvet knot on his head, and put on a lynx fur coat. Gao Shiqi ordered Li Dequan to clean up the kang and the kang and the kang neatly, then listened to the voice of Ah Xiu outside the door, and said in a swallowish voice: "Your respectful slave Tuxie Tuxiu, please see the master of Bogda Khan!" Then, as soon as the door curtain rang, Ah Xiu and Han Liu had already come in one after the other to salute.

When the people entered the house, a strange fragrance like Lan Fei Lan and Mu Fei came over, and Kangxi's eyes lit up. Gao Shiqi was also surprised, it turned out that Ah Xiu had taken off her outer flag outfit, and she looked like an authentic Mongolian girl - the green robe was inlaid with water red edges, and the apricot yellow tassel was knotted on the yuan color belt around her waist, decorated with a sparkling emerald gemstone, and the emerald bracelet on her wrist was as gorgeous as Luo Shen out of the water! Kangxi couldn't help but secretly think: "There is such an outstanding beauty in the exotic border wasteland!" ”

was thinking about himself, but he heard Ah Xiu choking and crying sadly. Kangxi thought that she was a Khan Gege, her father was ruined, and she couldn't help but be sad when she was here. Just as he wanted to soothe a few words, Ah Xiu raised his tearful face, whimpered, and spoke in Mongolian language. The shrewd and capable Han Liu and the erudite Gao Shiqi suddenly became deaf. Kangxi listened intently for a long time, nodded and smiled: "Gege, please get up and speak, the old man also get up, give me a seat!" He couldn't help but look Ah Xiu up and down, his black pupils were shining with a soft light, obviously Ah Xiu's beauty made him a little embarrassed.

"Shebo Gda Khan!" Ah Xiu kowtowed and got up, and continued to say in Mongolian, "My father, King Tushetu Khan, and my uncle, Öndör Khan, taught me since I was a child that the Mongols are eagles in the steppe, and Bogda Khan is a mountain that gathers goshawks; The endless cattle and sheep on the vast grassland are the white clouds beside the majestic Bogda Khan Mountains...... We have been under the shadow of the Great Khan of China for generations, just like the grass in spring is inseparable from the sun......" Her bright eyes looked directly at Kangxi, without any shyness, and she saw that Kangxi's face was hot for a while.

"Ah Xiu, I heard that you speak Chinese very well, so let's use Chinese. I was not well and could no longer work out. Kangxi said with a smile, "It's not necessary to praise." Since I have been in the dragon and have all directions, Mongolia is the closest to my Manchus. My grandmother is Mongolian, and we are a family! ”

"In that case," Ah Xiu bowed on the chair, and asked in a loud voice, "Slave and maid, why did Bogda Khan accept the tribute from the traitor Geldan?" My father and uncle tried their best to resist the attack of the Rakshasa in Mongolia, and their cavalry could not attack the Yaksa and Heilongjiang regions with all their might, and Geldan colluded with the Rakshasa to plunder my homeland, why did Bogda Khan sit idly by? ”

Gao Shiqi listened and was startled, this kind of article can only be done by a talented person, who would have expected a barbarian woman to use it so handily! And just after Kangxi said "family", it was really as powerful as a slap in the face. He thought nervously and quietly looked at Kangxi's face.

Kangxi was stunned at first, paused for a moment, put the milk cup on the table, and suddenly laughed loudly: "You are responsible!" It's amazing! But you need to know that there are three things in the family, and you can't do them all at once. In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, you fled to Beijing, and at that time, there were 2,200 Geldan tribute envoys all over the capital, with many eyes and ears, and the Ministry of Rites did not dare to meet you, which is reasonable. You came to invite soldiers, but the soldiers were all in the Xianghu area to fight a decisive battle with the remnants of Wu Sangui, although I had the heart to help, I couldn't do it, but I made you suffer such a big grievance, I apologize here! With that, he stood up and shook it. Ah Xiu hurriedly said: "The slave maid does not dare to accept the gift of Bogda Khan!" After that, he got up and squatted for three thousand blessings, "But I don't know when the master will be able to raise troops to restore my homeland?" As long as the master still remembers us, he is willing to send troops to take revenge, and Ah Xiu will repay him for the rest of his life, and he will be willing......" Kangxi smiled sweetly, got up and poured himself a cup of tea and handed it to Ah Xiu, his fingers only inadvertently stroked her wrist, and Ah Xiu blushed. Kangxi sat back casually and said, "This grass ring, that's a shadowless thing." But even if you don't come to ask for troops, the day of the revival of the army in the west is not far away, look at your share, I will personally lead the three armies to destroy this evil slave with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai! He couldn't help but look at Ah Xiu with his eyes and asked kindly, "Only what are you going to do?" Come with me to Beijing, right? Or live in the palace forbidden, or give the house to live outside, one should be the same as the princess, how about it? ”

Ah Xiu lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. The girl has special sensitivity in some things, and she has already seen the off-topic meaning from Kangxi's eyes, words and actions. Kangxi has a dignified appearance, a jade body, except for a few almost invisible fine white pockmarks, there is no broken appearance, outsiders look at it, and A Xiu is a natural pair of pairs. Gao Shiqi and Han Liu are all human spirits, what do you not understand? At that moment, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and hurriedly avoided each other. Somehow, Ah Xiu thought of Chen Huang, who was black, thin and capable, with bright eyes, and wiped his tears with his sleeve as soon as his heart was sour.

"It's this old Han mother who can't bear you, right?" Where did Kangxi know about some of these accidents? "It's nothing." After I went from Sun Eminem, I also lacked an entourage by my side. It's okay in Beijing, you are naturally still with her, and you accompany Lafayette to talk about Gu Ji'er to relieve boredom in your spare time, isn't it also good? ”

"Alas! Long live my good master," Han Liu had made up his mind in an instant. She also felt that Kangxi was much better than the thin Chen Huang, so she praised her beside her, "You pity the old and the poor so much, and you are sympathetic to the subordinates, you actually call my wife speechless...... In the first few years, my dead old man couldn't think about it, so he stretched out his legs angrily, and the land was also circled, so I fled to Zhili - Aozhongtang Bingshan Jianghai, and in a few years, I called you a pot of stewed red crabs! Wu Sangui's obscene seeds, the knife-beaten ghosts that can't be held in the hell of Ah nose have overturned the eleven provinces. Our small family is frightened every day and afraid every night, who wants retribution to come in just a few years! Oh, it's not my wife who is talking crazy, opening the world from Pangu, where to find such a holy true dragon son of heaven! ......" she sighed with emotion, said and praised, and said that Kangxi's heart was warm and warm, and she nodded while laughing.

Gao Shiqi also smiled and said: "Xiu Gege is naturally beautiful, and he is familiar with the customs and geographical situation of the Western Regions, so it is best to follow the master!" This Han's mother is a smart star, and the master loves to serve private visits, and there is such a thing around her, even the minions can't take care of it for a while, and they are all covered! He looked at Ah Xiu's face, there was no disgust, he knew that there was eighty or ninety percent of the matter, and said: "If the master has no other messengers, the slave and Han Liu will retreat." Xiugege knew a lot about the dealings between the kings of Eastern Mongolia and Geldan. It has to be played one by one. It's just that the master's illness hasn't healed yet, so please don't work too hard......" After that, he resigned with Han Liu.

After three days in Longhua Town, Kangxi Fang set off to the east, and within two days, he arrived at Shengjing, the land of "Longxing" in Manchuria.

Shengjing was formerly known as Shenyang. The Ming Dynasty is called Liaozhou Wei, because the Manchus are prosperous, peeping into the Central Plains, this place is the most important, so the Qing Taizu of the Qing Dynasty occupies Shenyang in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, that is, the capital is relocated to build here, and the Shunzhi period is renamed Fengtianfu, and it becomes one of the eighteen provinces. This is the military town that began to operate from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the siege of ten miles, the wall is three zhang high, eight doors are opened on all sides, and the small east gate and the small west gate each place a bell and drum tower. The imperial palace built during the Tiancong period is located in it, but it is the regulation of the Forbidden City in imitation of the Ming Dynasty, although it is slightly simpler, but it is also a dragon tower and a phoenix, and the weather is magnificent.

The car drove outside the city, and the sky was still drifting with scattered snowflakes. The ancient city of Fengtian is desolate and icy. The swarthy pheasant moat stood tall, and the moat was frozen like a mirror.

Kangxi sat in the car, looking at this snowy backbone city through the glass, and suddenly remembered the difficulties of his ancestors in creating Sheji and the small achievements of today's Central Plains Chinese civilization, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, so he lifted the felt curtain and ordered Wu Dan: "Prepare the horse, I want to ride a horse to meet the courtiers!" Gao Shiqi was next to him, and he hurriedly smiled: "Master, I can't help it, it's too cold, your body is good, you can't brave the cold!" Kangxi had already gotten out of the car, and said as he got on the horse: "I don't want to ask the officials to look like a shoucheng emperor and polite." In the past, it was here that the great grandfather issued the edict of the 'Seven Great Hatreds', and only then did he take over the Central Plains world, although I was not as good as my ancestors, I didn't even have this bit of ambition? I call this a return to my hometown - don't I hear the overlord say, the rich and noble do not return to their hometown, just like a brocade at night? ”

Wei Dongting smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the guards to fetch a mink fur dragon coat with a bright yellow group of dragons, stepped forward to put it on Kangxi, and said: "Master, if Mr. Wu is here, he must dismiss it." If you win the world immediately, you can't rule the world right away, and the emperor may not be good right away. Besides, when the master came back, he was originally to honor his ancestors and dispatch the military, not to travel at night with candles, and to have fun in time! According to the knowledge of the slave, he still sat in the car, only the felt curtain in front of him was opened. The minister's official sedan chair is not used, and the attendants are left and right, and Xiugege's sedan chair follows from afar, isn't it appropriate? Kangxi had no choice but to smile and get into the sedan chair again, and said: "Wei Dongting speaks obediently - it is better to keep me decent." I'm afraid there's something ugly you haven't said, right? Fan Zeng once scolded Xiang Yu for 'Mu Monkey and crown', don't you know? Wu Dan and the others hurriedly urged the car to march, and they saw the officials outside the west gate of Fengtian standing in a crow.

Fengtian general Bahai received the roll order of the front station, three days in advance has set up the reed shed, the post station fast horse informed today that the holy car entered the city at noon, he led the city early in the morning to hundreds of officials and has arrived in the Mongolian prince out of Guo Yingyi, in the ice and snow waiting for more than two hours. The officials exhaled white air and stamped their feet with a loud sound. Looking at it, he saw the yellow umbrella feather cover fluttering from a distance, and Bahai was busy: "Sound the cannon and play music, and the civil and military officials kneel to pick it up!" For a time, Huang Zhong Da Lu, Si Zhu and thunder were great, and more than 300 civil officials and military generals above the fourth grade knelt down and kowtowed to the mountain and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live!" Bahai shook his horseshoe sleeves, knelt down and said: "Long live the slave Bahai who led the city to welcome the civil and military forces!" Greetings to Banzai! ”

Kangxi got out of the car with the help of Suo Etu and Mingzhu, stomped his feet lightly, glanced at everyone, and said for a long time: "I am safe!" Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, I am going home, don't limit so many courtesies. Spread the decree that Sheng Jing has its own division and yamen to do business as usual, don't just come to worship me - why don't you see Zhou Peigong, are you here? ”

"If you go back to Banzai!" Ba Hai hurriedly said, "Zhou Peigong has been bedridden since last year, and he has been bedridden again. ”

Kangxi nodded silently when he heard this, and when a cold wind hit, he felt a little forgetful, so he smiled and said: "It's a cold day, it's hard to wait for you." I have everything here for Zhang, so you don't have to worry about it. Zhou Peigong was the main general of his acquiescence to the Western Expedition, and he was sick and couldn't take over, Kangxi was a little stunned. immediately drove into the city and rested in the Qinzheng Hall of the Taizu Forbidden City. For example, stationed at the Guanfang, comforting the old relatives of the fathers outside the Guan, receiving the Mongolian princes, the old gentry, and the list and time of the heroes who have been recuperated from illness and retired, and the proper arrangements for their own pearls, Suo Etu, and Gao Shiqi are not mentioned.

The next day, the Zhaoling was sacrificed, and it was the end of the Shen Dynasty when I returned to the palace. The snow in the sky was rising and growing. Kangxi hurriedly entered dinner in the Qinzheng Palace, sent cheese and steamed lamb to reward Ah Xiu, and gave the rest to the close ministers and guards. The dragon in the palace of diligent government, the wall of fire is blazing, the weather is cold outside, and everyone in the hall is so hot that their bodies are dry. Kangxi half lay on the big pillow, smiling and watching Wu Dan and the others gobble up, because he saw that Gao Shiqi only ate two dumplings, he picked up a few pieces of tofu in the hot pot and ate them, so he stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Is the food outside the customs unpalatable? ”

"A slave and a weak scholar, how can he compare to a tiger minister and a martial arts tiger wolf?" Gao Shiqi hurriedly smiled, "Slaves cherish blessings and love their bodies, and they are particular about eating, always not leaving ripe, hot, soft, vegetarian, and less - the two Jin Shi clans talk about misleading the country, and only eating and drinking is in line with the way of health preservation." ”

"Oh?" Kangxi smiled, "I want to hear it!" ”

Gao Shiqi smiled and said: "Everything is not usable, people have already understood it when they were in Suiren's family: the stomach is cold, and cold things are not easy to restrain themselves, so they must use the human body to heat themselves, so they will not be harmed?" The delicacies of the mountains and seas, people say that the stomach is fast, according to the humble opinion of the slaves, it is true that the mouth is fast, but the stomach is not necessarily. The ancients lived by hunting, so didn't they have meat? So why does Shennong still taste herbs and grow grains? Grain eaters are born, meat eaters are despised, the six ancestors Hui Neng will choose meat side dishes to eat, this vegetarian way, the beauty of the rich and noble people are difficult to know! ”

"Mr. Gao, this is a slave, but he doesn't save it!" Wu Dan dripping and lifting half of Jinhua ham, chewed on it, and said, "Drink his mother with a big bowl of wine, eat his mother with a large piece of meat, and only then can he have the strength to work for his master!" This sentence made everyone laugh more than once. Wei Dongting said: "The ancients also said, 'Let go of your belly to eat, and stand on your heels to be a man', why do you persuade people to eat less?" Gao Shiqi said with a smile: "Eat less to calm the stomach, the stomach is prosperous, the spleen is smooth, the spleen is smooth, the liver is comfortable, and the liver is clear." Huchen doesn't know the internal scriptures, he doesn't know the key points of Jinkui, and he knows the deep reason, how can he say it all in one word? ”

Kangxi saw that everyone was full, so he sat up and said with a smile: "Gao Shiqi, don't talk about it, accompany me out of the palace for a walk, and when I come back, I will draw up an edict for me to see your high theory." ”

Everyone was listening to Gao Shiqi's discussions, and the right to eat and accompany the meal, but they didn't expect Kangxi to call these words out to draft the purpose, and they were stunned for a while. Gao Shiqi saw that Kangxi didn't seem to be joking, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty...... Do you want to edict the world to eat less and nourish yourself? It's unacceptable! ”

"You're underestimating me!" Kangxi laughed and said, "When Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, the people starved to death, and he also asked, 'Why don't you eat minced meat'?" Although it is slightly better now, I also know that it is rare for the people to have a full porridge and white potatoes, so I persuaded them to 'cook hot and soft food less'? It's really a joke for the ages - this edict is given to the heroes who are honored in Fengtian. They have made a lot of sweat and blood when they were closed, and now they are returning to their hometowns, some of them have money, but they only know how to eat and drink nonsense, and they don't know how to maintain their health. In the past few years, there have been too many deaths and illnesses, I'm afraid it has something to do with it? Teach them to understand a little bit of medicine and prolong their lives. Wouldn't it be nice if the state could consult if there was something to do? "It's very cold outside, take my mink coat!" Li Dequan hurriedly agreed, and went inside and took out a blue and red satin mink coat to put it on for Kangxi. When he wanted to add a mink fur, Kangxi waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, and put on a pair of green satin felt soap boots, and Li Dequan tied the belt, turned his face and ordered: "Let's go!" ”

"Master, it's going to be dark this morning and evening, the boss's snow, and the ......wind is blowing," Wei Dongting put on his sword, bowed cautiously and said with a smile, "It's just something, can't Ming'er do it again?" Kangxi paused for a moment and said: "Ming'er met with the Mongolian princes, and I have already sent a decree to the wooden maps of Heilongjiang and Yaksa [1]

It's all arranged, and you have to discuss military affairs with Bahai, and you may not be able to do it in a day! It's been a long night, and there's nothing to do here, so anxious! Let's go, I'll take you to meet an acquaintance. Wei Dongting knew that persuasion was useless, and said with a smile: "Where did the slave come from in Fengtian?" Wherever the master goes, the minions will follow and wait. ”

When I got out of the Qinzheng Palace, I realized that it was already dark outside. The empty palace courtyard is already a world of glass and jade, and the heavy snow can't help but flutter and fly. Ba Haizhi was in the guard, waiting in the room outside the palace gate, he was bored, and when he saw Kangxi's pannier coming out, he hurriedly knocked on the car and asked: "It's so late, the snow outside is slippery, is the emperor still out of the palace?" Kangxi lifted the felt curtain, leaned out and smiled: "I don't need you to wait here." Is King Korqin here? ”

"Long live back!" Ba Hai spoke in a voice like a bell, with a metallic trill, "King Korqin is in the post house." Banzai want to ask him to accompany him? ”

"No, you don't." Kangxi muttered, "You go to deliver the decree, I want to see him tonight, and ask him to wait in the Qinzheng Palace—find another small school to take me to Zhou Peigong's yamen, and you will go back to the house, prepare for tomorrow's military affairs, and deal with it carefully!" With that, he put down the curtain and drove forward. Ba Hai agreed repeatedly, and hurriedly sent someone to lead the way, and ordered martial law in the city, and brought the general's personal soldiers to protect the car, and went to the post house to deliver the decree.
