Kangxi has always been close to the emperor's mother, and the two of them talk very casually.

Flipping the brand, is the emperor every night to choose which concubine to sleep with a procedure, do not turn over the brand, that is, sleep alone, this matter can be big or small, to the big, maybe the emperor is sick, to say small, maybe the emperor is not in a good mood, this is all related to the country, so the queen mother personally asked.

Kangxi's face was a little unnatural, and he said: "Grandmother Huang, don't worry, my grandson is not sick, but he has been too busy recently." ”

The Empress Dowager knew that the so-called being too busy was just an excuse, so she looked at him with kindness: "I also know that you are in a bad mood, that Concubine Liu is gone, who is to blame, she is blessed." ”

The reason why Concubine Liu won Kangxi's favor was not because of her beauty, not because she was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor because she had a family background, but because she was empathetic, and she knew a little about poetry and books, and even knew a little about foreign languages, and suddenly fell ill, of course Kangxi was very reluctant, Tong Jia's family was afraid that the emperor would be depressed and repeat the mistakes of Emperor Shunzhi, Emperor Shunzhi became a monk for a concubine Dong E, and everyone in the palace knew that Tong Jiashi reported Kangxi's sullen affairs to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother gave her advice and asked her to reveal it to the Queen Mother. So this time, Tong Jia's family brought a group of concubines over, nominally to accompany the Empress Dowager to play cards, but in fact she wanted the Empress Dowager to persuade Kangxi.

At the mention of Concubine Liu, Kangxi frowned slightly, glanced at Tong Jiashi, and it happened that Tong Jiashi was also looking at him, so he was so frightened that he hung his head and pretended to cough and fool him.

The Empress Dowager heard Tong Jia's cough and said, "Your body is always in trouble, probably because you are tired." ”

Although Tong Jia's family is a noble concubine, since the collapse of Empress Xiao Zhaoren's Niu Colu clan, Kangxi has not established a queen, and the affairs of the harem are handled by the noble concubine Tong Jia.

The Empress Dowager cared, and Tong Jiashi hurriedly got up and thanked her: "The concubine has been weak since she was a child, she is not tired, the emperor is tired, she watches and sees people day and night, but the concubine is powerless." ”

Kangxi and Tong Jia's are middle cousins, and he still has great respect for this cousin, and said: "You are busier than me in the harem, I am very relieved, don't stand still, there is no need to set rules around the imperial grandmother." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly: "This is said to my heart, we are a family when the door is closed, and it is uncomfortable to be too disciplined." ”

In the end, the Empress Dowager sent away those concubines on the grounds that Tong Jia's body was uncomfortable, leaving only her and Kangxi's ancestors and grandchildren, and the Empress Dowager said: "There are only two of us here, you might as well say it directly, I know that one Concubine Liu is not enough to make you depressed, is there something big?" ”

Kangxi sighed for a long time: "The emperor's grandmother is wise, it is Geerdan, he raised 120,000 troops to cross Aksu and Wushi to Yerkand, it can be said that he is invincible, and he has always been a big trouble for his grandson." ”

So that's the case, the Empress Dowager said: "You ascended the throne at the age of eight, at the age of fourteen, at the age of sixteen you eradicated Aobai, I believe in your ability, the ancestors stipulated that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, so I don't want to ask too much about the things ahead, the government is the government, the emperor don't forget, women are always not allowed to approach, and others think that the emperor is not close to women." ”

Kangxi laughed: "Isn't it good not to be close to women?" ”

The Empress Dowager said: "It's not good, it's very bad, how can you have children if you don't get close to women." ”

Kangxi smiled and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager grabbed his hand and held it, sometimes compared with his own hand, at that time his hand was very small, often held for himself, and now his hand is so big, he can't hold it anymore, thinking about it and saying: "I know your thoughts, harem women, none of them can enter your heart, but there have always been beauties in Jiangnan, you don't go out of Jiangnan, but go outside the customs." ”

Of course, the micro-service patrol is not for the beauty, Kangxi didn't want to say too much, so he joked: "How do you know that there are no beauties outside the Guan, isn't the imperial grandmother a beauty outside the Guan." ”

The Empress Dowager, Borzigit, named Bumu Butai, was born in the Horqin Department of Mongolia.

The Empress Dowager was a little embarrassed and very happy, and said: "Okay, you can go wherever you say, but you have to report to me from time to time that I will come back safely, I am the Empress Dowager, and I am also a grandmother, you are the emperor and a grandson, and the next generation is a relative, and when the emperor has a grandson, he will understand me." ”

Kangxi promised repeatedly.

The Empress Dowager saw that he couldn't sit still, knowing that he was busy with affairs, so she said: "The emperor is busy with himself, if he can't get out, he doesn't have to come to me every day to say goodbye, I'm old and useless, I just eat and drink every day, or chant sutras, but fortunately, I am accompanied by Aunt Su Mala, and I am not too lonely." ”

Kangxi didn't leave immediately, but walked around behind the empress dowager, gently pinched the old man's shoulder, and said: "If you don't come to ask the imperial grandmother for peace, the imperial grandmother will not worry about her grandson, if you don't come to ask the imperial grandmother for peace, the grandson will not worry about the imperial grandmother, so the grandson will come every day, which you can not stop." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and bent her eyes, turned over and patted Kangxi's hand and said: "It's not a trivial matter to go on patrol, let's go, I'm tired of playing cards for a long time, and I want to rest." ”

Kangxi retired, and when he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he summoned the minister of the hospital, he wanted to go on patrol, and he had to arrange everything outside the house.

The emperor's guard of honor is divided into four classes, the sacrifice is divided into four categories, the sacrifice is used with the "big driver", the court will use the "law drive", the usual entry and exit is used with the "Luan drive", and the line is led by the "riding car".

Kangxi swept his eyes around Kong Meng, he arranged the patrol matters, and he was about to set off in three days, he decided to use the ride, and at this time he was still entangled in these things, and said unhappily: "You are so fanfare, is it afraid that those mountain bandits and strongmen don't know who I am, the reason why I am slightly convinced is that I want to come back quietly, outside the gate is the land of Longxing, I am returning to my hometown, like the people's family visits, making such a big move, I feel very disappointed." ”

Seeing that he was angry, the ministers were not easy to insist, and finally gave way to each other, no need to drive Luan, but not just a few people, the forbidden army could not be brought, the guards could not be less than 100 people, and there must be accompanying officials.

Kangxi selected Zhou Kongmeng, Yu Huayu, Huang Dingchen and Gai Tieguo, and the others stayed in Beijing.

Three days later, it was the auspicious day chosen by Qin Tianjian, Kangxi took four favored ministers and more than 100 guards to start the northern tour, among the four favored ministers, the other three were civil servants, only the iron pot was the imperial guard, and he won the trust of Kangxi.

It is not only a micro-service, but also Kangxi's three orders and five declarations, three days later, at the time of Chenpai, a cadre quietly went out of the Forbidden City, and then out of Beijing City, all the way to Mengjiang Town.
