Due to illness, Xuan Ye was unable to directly lead the army to fight, and when he was recuperating in the palace, he analyzed the enemy situation in detail every day.

Fuquan received a letter from Xuan Ye: The army is approaching the enemy soldiers, and he should investigate the situation of the other party, and try to trap Galdan so that he will not have any dissenting intentions. Wait for the arrival of the armies of Shengjing, Wula, and Horqin, and annihilate the rebels. Fuquan sent people with letters, a hundred sheep, and twenty oxen to the enemy camp to stabilize Galdan first. When Amida and other large armies arrived to assist in the battle, they immediately redeployed all their troops into three teams and prepared to attack.

Xuan Ye personally deployed tactics, divided into the front team, the second team, and the two wings, and marched towards the Galdan Division. Chang Ning led his troops to defeat in Uzhumuqin, and Xuan Ye ordered Chang Ning to join forces with Fu Quan to concentrate his forces. And Prince Kang Jieshu led his troops from Sunit to garrison the city of Guihua, and shortened the enemy's return route.

At the beginning of August, near Chifeng, Ulan Butong met with the Erute soldiers of the Galdan Division. At the beginning, the Erut soldiers relied on natural danger to set up a formation in the dense forest across the river to block the attack; He also tied more than 10,000 camels on the high shore and lay on the ground, put boxes on their backs, covered them with soaked felt, and arranged them into a bunker defense line, which was called "camel city"; The main force of Erut fired guns and arrows from the "camel city" battlements and put up stubborn resistance, causing heavy casualties to the Qing army. Tong Guogang died in this battle.

In order to change the tide of the battle, when it was dark, Fu Quanquan ordered the left flank of the Qing army to insert from the mountainside and attack it unprepared. Surprised, the enemy fled in confusion; The right flank attacked desperately in the quagmire on the riverbank, and finally broke into the "camel city" and defeated the Erut army.

Although Galdan suffered a crushing defeat, he did not give up, and sent people to the Qing army camp to ask for Tushetu Khan and others. Fuquan did not back down, reprimanded Galdan for the unreasonable invasion, and recruited people back in the future. The next day, Husketu of the Galdan tribe led seventy disciples to persuade him, and asked Jilong to accompany him; They first admit their mistakes, and then make excuses for invading the realm, and Fuquan confronts it-for-tat and refutes the lobbyists.

Fuquan analyzed the situation at that time, and believed that the armies of all walks of life had not yet converged, and the Erut division had been defeated, so he first gained time to let his soldiers recuperate, and then fought a decisive battle with Galdan when the Shengjing army came to join the division, and completely annihilated the remnants of the enemy.

Xuan Ye was very dissatisfied with Fuquan's strategic deployment and criticized him for missing the fighter; The intention of the Galdan faction to lobby was to delay the army and fight again.

After the guidance of Xuan Ye, Fuquan realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately sent the guard Wu Dan and others to chase after Galdan with Jilong, and argued in person, Galdan was at a loss for words, so he had to kneel in front of the Welling Buddha and kowtow, bow his head and admit defeat, and also sent an envoy to come to ask for guilt with a chapter and a guarantee; Expressed willingness to withdraw from the border and obey the fate. Although Xuan Ye agreed to Galdan's request, he still warned Fu Quan to strengthen his precautions, and Galdan was a very cunning person.

At the beginning of October, Fuquan sent a letter to Galdan and others, but he did not return for more than a month, he estimated that Galdan had already fled to the border, and the army was short of food and grass at that time, so it could only last for a few days, in view of this, he took it upon himself and ordered to return to the division.

The troops were returned to Xuan Ye's army, and Xuan Ye was very dissatisfied with Fuquan's withdrawal without asking for instructions, and decided to return to Beijing first before discussing the crime.

Xuan Ye returned to Beijing first, and Fuquan stayed behind. Fuquan sent the information on Galdan's whereabouts to Xuan Ye for a look, and the traitor did come out, and he also confessed. Xuan Ye immediately ordered Fuquan to return to the capital.

In November, Fuquan arrived in Beijing, and the team stopped outside Chaoyang Gate. Xuan Ye accused Fuquan of not following the order and doing his own thing, and also asked the emperor's eldest son, Yinhe, to testify. Fuquan did not argue, and all of them received their guilt.

The ministers and others discussed the mistakes of Fuquan, and they should be removed from the title, fined for three years, removed from the three assistants, and abolished the parliamentary power. Xuan Yenian made meritorious contributions in this battle, exempted from the title, and only canceled Fuquan's parliamentary power, removed the leader, and punished him for three years.

Since then, Fuquan has become the idle prince again. It's just that Fuquan still has Han Ji by his side, and he doesn't care about the royal power, and after a long time, he no longer cares about it. It's just that Han Ji's heart is estranged because of this. thought that Xuan Ye had taken advantage of Fuquan and won the battle, so he found an excuse to seize the power of Fuquan. It's just that he was afraid that Fuquan would support the army and stand on his own feet and seize the imperial power.

Han Ji was reluctant to enter the palace again, so she wandered around with Fuquan to soothe her mood.

Chun Xi also didn't understand what happened this time, but she asked Xuan Ye in private, but she couldn't get an accurate answer. Xuan Ye only said that this was also done as a last resort, for the sake of happiness.

It's just that because Yinchu testified about this matter, Chunxi was also dissatisfied with Yinchu and Concubine Hui Na Layanhui.

Back at Yikun Palace, Chunxi invited Yunyue, Lan Xin, Du Ruo and others to discuss.

"This time, I don't understand whether the emperor is jealous of Prince Yu or someone has ulterior motives." Chunxi said to them: "It's just that, no matter what the reason, Sister Han and I also have a dislike because of this, I'm afraid that we can't be as before, dedicated to us, and share our worries." Du Ruo, as her apprentice, you should understand her best, and you should also understand my current mood, right? ”

Chunxi never thought that things would develop like this, and it should be a good thing that Fuquan won a big victory. Who would have expected that in the end, he would be disposed of by Xuan Ye with such an excuse.

Du Ruo nodded again and again: "If it were me, I would definitely resent the emperor." It's just that now Prince Yu has stayed away from the court, and the master has already gotten his wish, and the two of them are playing in the mountains and rivers, hoping to forget these unpleasantness. ”

Du Ruo was also very embarrassed, if Han Ji resented Xuan Ye because of this, I am afraid it would not be a good thing. She understands Han Ji's methods, and it is definitely not as simple as giving Chun Xi a few clicks. Han Ji is a person who has a very deep city, and no one in this palace is her opponent.

Han Ji is like a cat, and her enemies are all rats that she plays with. She doesn't want to watch her enemies die, but enjoys torturing and playing with them. Such a beautiful face does not hide an equally beautiful heart.

"Speaking of which, this matter also involves the eldest brother, I don't know what Concubine Hui thinks." Lan Xin reminded: "The prince was scolded by the emperor before, and now he can't speak in front of the emperor, in a short period of time, if the prince behaves badly, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept the emperor's heavy responsibility." In this way, the eldest brother, as the eldest son, has an advantage. ”

Yun Yue also said: "Yes, but I heard that the eldest brother and Prince Yu have conflicts in the army, maybe they have their own suspicions, and they have nothing to do with Concubine Hui." Seeing that Concubine Hui is not such a scheming person, she can let the eldest brother provoke the relationship between the emperor and Prince Yu, which will lead to a bad relationship between us and Yu Fujin. ”

"Concubine Hui really doesn't have such skills, if it is really the eldest brother's own doing, I'm afraid it will be a mistake. Or, the eldest brother himself has a different heart. Chun Xi analyzed: "The situation in the palace is still stable. If there is an accident in the court, I am afraid that the harem will also have an impact. Only we know the bitterness and sadness we have suffered for so many years. It is not easy to achieve today's stable situation. I don't have that big ambition, and my sisters don't have the heart to ascend to the throne. However, just because we don't have it doesn't mean that others don't either. No matter what, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are all things we have to guard against. ”

No one knows what's really going on in the hearts of others. The four of them don't care about the imperial power, they only care about the stability of themselves and the people around them. As long as others don't provoke, they will never take the initiative to attack and cause unnecessary trouble.

But sometimes, they have to think about those hidden dangers.

Lan Xin also agreed with Chunxi's statement, and said through her words: "There are many princes in the palace now, and everyone may have different intentions for the future of their children. There are just four of us sitting here today. We can trust each other, but we can't trust others with that trust. If the status of the crown prince is shaken, as the biological mothers of the eldest brother and the third elder brother, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong will definitely not be willing to accept the status quo. ”

Ma Jia Yiqing and Na La Yanhui are both ranked as the fourth concubine, and they are both associate people of the sixth palace. Now that they have power and power, their son has grown up, and they will soon be able to take charge on their own and become Xuan Ye's arm strength.

In the past, it didn't matter whether they were favored or not, they had a capable and shrewd son, adding another glory to them, and it was also the icing on the cake, which would only make them better and better.

"Not bad." Yun Yue also said: "Since we don't have that kind of heart, we must first let the prince's position sit firmly." In this way, you and I will be able to live smoothly in the future. It's just that the prince has asked Suo Etu about everything, and Suo Etu has already broken off with us, what should we do? ”

"It's not difficult, we don't have to think about it. More than anyone else, he wanted the crown prince's position to be secure. I will never let a woman who gave birth to a prince be a queen. Chun Xi smiled.

"In this way, as long as you guard against Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, it should be too peaceful?" Du Ruo asked.

"Not necessarily." Lan Xin said: "Except for ourselves, everyone has to be on guard." ”

Lan Xin has not learned anything from Tong Ruofei's side over the years. At least, she also learned a thing or two about guessing people's hearts. Tong Ruofei is very good at calculating people's hearts, and although Lan Xin is not proficient, she is no longer completely ignorant.

Moreover, Tong Ruofei was defeated because he looked down on the enemy and trusted people who should not be trusted, which led to such an ending.

If they don't want to be a stepping stone for others and don't want to be the next Tong Ruofei, they must anticipate the danger and resolve the contradictions.

"Eighth Brother is nine years old, right?" Chun Xi suddenly changed the topic and looked at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo responded: "Yes, it's the end of November now, and once the New Year passes, it won't be long before Yinxi will be ten years old." ”

"In that case, it's not suitable for him to stay with Concubine Hui anymore." Chunxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Another day, you go to see the emperor with the palace, mention this matter in due time, and bring Yinxi back to yourself to raise." On Concubine Hui's side, the palace will arrange for someone to keep an eye on it, and Yinxi will be raised by our own side, so we can rest assured. The head of the five institutes in Qiandong was left to Yinxi to live. The second and third institutes are Yinyu and Yinyu. The three of them live together, and we are a little more relieved. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." When Du Ruo heard this, he was the most happy.

Lan Xin on the side was a little uncomfortable, and when it came to the children, she was the most uncomfortable. Although Tong Ruofei is dead now, her relationship with the fourth elder brother Yinzhen has never been better.

"Don't feel bad, don't you still have the fourteenth elder brother by your side? Take good care of him, and also comfort your debt to the fourth elder brother. Yun Yue took a fancy to Lan Xin's thoughts, and hurriedly comforted: "No matter how old the children are, if they understand the reason, they will naturally be able to understand what you had to do at the beginning." ”
