Coming out of Shouning Palace, Fuquan and Chang Ning sent Yinren back to the palace and went out of the palace together, preparing to return home. Fuquan is okay, guarding the capital, even if the burden on his shoulders is a little heavier, it does not prevent him from returning home, on the contrary, Chang Ning, since he set off to go to Mulan to the present, but he has not been home for more than half a year, Fuquan forgives him for being running around, so he wants him to go back to the house to rest first, and all matters will be discussed tomorrow, but Chang Ning himself is unwilling to go back to the house, and he wants to deal with things before leaving, Fuquan can't do it, so he has to take him back to Prince Yu's mansion.

The two brothers entered the study and sat side by side, their expressions were calm but with a hint of seriousness, obviously they didn't dare to slack off on the things Kangxi explained, even if Kangxi was not there, they still kept their duties and didn't dare to cross the rules.

If there is no accident, Galdan should be killed soon, and the emperor will return to the court smoothly. Fu Quan didn't expect that just a few guides could play such a big role in this battle, and if he hadn't been involved from beginning to end, he couldn't believe that things were going so smoothly. It's just that he's a stupid brother, who couldn't accompany him on the expedition in order to repay his kindness, and now that the matter is halfway through, he thinks about going to the battlefield, although no one dares to stop him, but he is suspected of being greedy for merit, so he naturally can't let him go.

Chang Ning looked at Fuquan with a worried face, although he felt a little guilty that he couldn't tell the truth, but he didn't pierce the most secret in his heart because of this impulse, but said a little helplessly: "Second brother, the prince and Concubine Zhao have returned to Beijing safely, the prince and the second brother are in charge in the palace, Concubine Zhao and the three little elder brothers are also recuperating in the imperial village, only my younger brother and I have nothing to do, how can this be?"

Fu Quan squinted, and was still very satisfied with Chang Ning's idea of wanting to make a contribution, so he slowed down his tone and said: "I know you want to share the emperor's worries, but this time is not right, and there is no peace in the palace and outside the palace as you think." Today, the emperor has suffered a big loss, and it seems that the compromise has stopped, but no one can guarantee that she will really die, and then there is Horqin's side, the thief's heart will not die, and the queen mother felt at ease before them, and now the queen mother is obviously not as powerful as the queen mother, and they are afraid that they will find other ways to achieve their goals. ”

Fu Quan is still very clear about Kangxi's determination to eliminate the influence of the harem of various Mongolian ministries, and for various reasons, he also knows a lot about the inside story, and he is deeply resentful of it, after all, as a member of the Aixin Jueluo family, no one wants his fate to be in the hands of someone other than the emperor, especially when he thinks that his birth and survival are based on the face of a Mongolian woman, no matter how good Fuquan's heart is, he can't maintain it.

Loyalty to the imperial power is a characteristic of this era, and Fuquan has long been engraved in his bones, but he is a dignified prince and brother, and he can be born and grow up but he can see the faces of all Mongolian tribes, which is called how he does not respond. In fact, the real feelings between the concubines and the heirs in the palace are all interested, and he can accept all this, and even be a filial son and grandson within an acceptable range, but after crossing this line, Fuquan's indifference as a descendant of Aixin Jueluo is revealed, which is why he will coldly watch Kangxi suppress the Empress Dowager and other Mongolian concubines.

He thought that the Queen Mother was honest and good, but Mulan and her entourage made him really understand one thing, that is, the women of Horqin, no matter how honest they pretended, they couldn't hide the greed in their bones.

Chang Ning is not a fool, he naturally knows where the worry in Fuquan's words comes from, Horqin's ambition is enough to shock them, but after the shock, they began to clean up as quickly as possible, not for anything else, but for stability. The stability of the Qing Dynasty is above all else, and they know in their hearts that from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, it seems to be stable and prosperous, but in fact the foundation is not solid, otherwise Kangxi would not be in a hurry to concentrate military power, collect Taiwan, and appease Mongolia. But no amount of appeasement can be exchanged for peace, so you can only face each other with swords and guns like now, after all, sometimes no matter how much you say and give more rewards, it is better to beat them to make them remember it deeply.

"What does the second brother mean that the Empress Dowager was just doing it just now? There are other people in this harem who want to be unfavorable to Concubine Zhao and them?" Chang Ning thought about the concubines in the harem, and frowned.

Seeing this, Fuquan didn't panic, just sighed lightly and said: "There will never be a shortage of battles in this harem, Concubine Zhao saved the prince in Mulan this time, whether it is intentional or unintentional, they all block the way of others, if the emperor is there, they naturally dare not act easily, but now that the emperor is not there, although we don't know what kind of idea they have, but we need to guard against the pool in advance, otherwise it will really make Concubine Zhao Niangniang and them have an accident, and you and I will be to blame even if we have a thousand reasons." ”

Concubine Zhao returned to Beijing, obviously in the Imperial Village, who dared to take the risk of making a big deal against the royal people, but the royal family itself is not necessarily, after all, Concubine Zhao's status is becoming more and more stable, not to mention, there is even a chance to be promoted, he himself has no ill feelings about it, on the contrary, this contact made him see the hidden potential of Concubine Zhao, although it will not be pleased, but it will never be rashly the enemy.

"The second brother's worries are indeed necessary, after all, Concubine Zhao is not only favored by the emperor, but also the gratitude of the prince, plus there are three elder brothers, even if she can't sit in that position in the future, at least she will become a concubine. If the family behind her is powerful, it will be fine, but unfortunately the Suo Yuluo family has been in decline for a long time, even if there are a few talented people now, they can't support such a big mess for a while. "It's all things that are on the bright side, and everyone else can see it clearly, not to mention Chang Ning, who is extremely concerned about Yunxi.

"It's good that you know it in your heart. "Fuquan is afraid that this younger brother will be strong, and sometimes he will make trouble, and he won't even give Kangxi face, which is why Kangxi has always been reluctant to use him. It's not that he doesn't believe it, but he doesn't like all the people or things that are beyond his control, "I don't want to say much about the previous things, but this time, the emperor entrusts me with the safety of the capital, and entrusts the safety of the crown prince to you, so before the emperor does not return to Beijing, you have to cheer up, at least the Huangzhuang side has to ask about it every few days, so as not to let someone secretly take action." ”

Chang Ning looked at Fuquan with a solemn expression, and saw that he had persuaded himself so much, and couldn't help but say seriously: "Second brother has said so, I can't be ignorant, I will give the emperor a break about returning to Beijing, as for going to the battlefield, I will also ask the emperor first, if he agrees, I will set off, if he does not agree, I will stay in Beijing honestly." ”

He is actually very worried about Yunxi's safety in Huangzhuang, as long as anyone with brains knows that it is a good opportunity to deal with Yunxi now, after all, there is only one concubine Zhao who is favored and has many heirs in this harem, not to mention that she is still young at this time, if she is reborn in the future, this harem is afraid that no one can compare!

It is also her good luck, she was born noble, but her family is in decline, she has no big power in the court, and she can't become a relative of the chaotic country, plus she is as beautiful as a flower, and the emperor is naturally pampered and relieved. But the emperor's peace of mind does not mean that others are at ease, after all, those who dare to send their daughters into the palace are scheming, if Concubine Zhao is not favored or no different from other concubines, it is fine, but unfortunately she is unique, like a dazzling light, people have to look at her, which has become her biggest sin.

He didn't think so much at the beginning, maybe the arrogance of being the prince's brother made him forget that the so-called inconspicuous woman sometimes took his heart, even if he regretted it, but the overall situation has been decided, even if he rebelled, it was impossible to take this woman as his own, after all, this time is different from the past, they are no longer the foreign clan who used to drink blood, they are royalty, they are the model of the world, so they can't tolerate mistakes, let alone scandals. Not to mention that he doesn't have the ability to oppose Kangxi, even if he does, how can he completely give up the brotherhood for many years.

Fuquan didn't know what he was thinking, but when he listened to his words, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Cheng, if the emperor agrees, I have nothing to say, but before the emperor's decision is not sent back, you stay honestly in the capital." "I'm afraid that he will make a mistake, and Fu Quan will remind him again and again at the end.

Chang Ning still respects Fuquan's eldest brother very much, although he has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, but as long as he promises Fuquan, he will do it, so with his guarantee, Fuquan will not keep spinning on this issue, and instead talk about some things that happened in the capital during this time, lest Chang Ning suffer without knowing it, so he took this opportunity to tell them one by one.

Don't look at the fact that the capital is calm on the surface, in fact, several forces are ready to move, if it weren't for the news of Kangxi's victory, they would just be afraid that they would be rebellious. After all, where is today's wealth comparable to a very popular minister, otherwise why would so many courtiers risk the disapproval of the world to fight for the merit of the dragon!

It is precisely because of clarity that Fuquan will pay attention to it, and Chang Ning will be serious, because it is not easy for them to come along the way, don't think that if you are the prince and brother, you will definitely have a good future, so many children of the first emperor, except for Kangxi, there are only the two of them, even if the others have a title, it is just an idle position. They finally got to where they are today, and if anyone wants to step on them and soar into the sky, then they can only fight for their lives.

On the same day, Chang Ning, who had just returned to the capital, was forced to return to the house after dinner in Prince Yu's mansion, Prince Gong Fujin had no opinion on this, happily greeted Chang Ning back to the house, and tried his best to wait for him to rest, Chang Ning did not brush his own Fujin's face, and rested directly in the courtyard of Fujin that day, the concubines in the backyard were unwilling but did not dare to be presumptuous, after all, Fujin is the main room, they are concubines, they are dissatisfied, and it is impossible to get it on the surface, but secretly some people secretly speculate whether Prince Yu Fujin said something to make Prince Gong Fujin, who was not favored, accept the favor？

Of course, no matter how much speculation there is about this kind of thing, if the parties don't speak, it is impossible for the rest of the people to run to Prince Yu Fujin to ask directly, but Prince Gong Fujin remembered the goodness of Prince Yu Fujin, so that when Prince Yu Fujin stood on Yunxi's side in the future, the unaware Prince Gong Fujin also followed and stood in her camp, this inexplicable misunderstanding was for Yunxi, no, it should be said that it saved Yinzhen, who already knew how to win the heir at that time, a lot of trouble was saved.
