After the queen mother followed Kangxi back to Beijing, she stayed in Ningshou Palace until she learned that Kangxi was going to conquer Dzungar in person, and her face changed.

Although Kangxi is not her biological child, at least she has childhood affection, but she really wants to change to her grandson, unless she is the fifth elder brother who was raised by her, no matter who it is, her future life will not be better than now. In order to ensure her own interests, the queen mother, who had been separated for a while, had to invite Kangxi over.

After Kangxi returned to Beijing, it was not that he didn't want to warn the queen mother, but before he could speak, the queen mother settled down. Moreover, he was bent on attacking Dzungaria, so he naturally had to focus on the preparations needed for the war. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, since he has the heart to clean up Dzungaria, then what should be prepared must be prepared properly, otherwise it will really be like fighting the three feudatories, which will drag on for many years, and the situation that has finally stabilized is afraid that it will be chaotic again.

Originally, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite, Kangxi didn't want to pay attention to it, but she couldn't control her to send someone to invite three or four times, as a last resort, Kangxi should go, but before going to Ningshou Palace, he went to Yonghe Palace, and all the matters of the personal expedition have been prepared, Kangxi originally wanted to sit in Yonghe Palace before leaving, which is to remember the past with Yunxi, but he didn't want to let the people sent by the Empress Dowager disappoint. But even so, Kangxi couldn't change his previous decision, and it was precisely because of this that he could be inspired by a casual glance in Yunxi's study.

Mongolia's territory is an endless steppe, located on the border, the environment is harsh, not all places are rich in water and grass, otherwise why would Horqin have the back of the Qing Dynasty to occupy the most abundant water and grass on the grassland. In addition, although the Mongol tribes openly expressed their submission to the Qing Dynasty, many people in private had other ideas, and even failed to correct their attitudes, vainly hoping to restore their former glory, and the Dzungar rebellion was the best example. If he recklessly sends troops to counterattack in this way, he is afraid that he will be led by the nose by Galdan, after all, the grassland is Kaldan's territory, he is familiar with the environment, and he must have a way to deal with it, if he does not have someone he can trust to lead the way, even if he wins this battle, it will be a tragic victory.

Thinking of this, Kangxi walked out of Yonghe Palace quickly, and after returning to Qianqing Palace, he immediately summoned Fuquan, told him the ins and outs of the matter, and dealt with some trivial matters, so he took Liang Jiugong to Ningshou Palace before the Queen Mother sent someone over again.

The Empress Dowager has no opinion on Kangxi's attack on Dzungaria, it can be said that as long as it is not Horqin and the tribes they cooperate with, other tribes are attacked or taught a lesson, she actually doesn't care, it can be said that she doesn't have the political vision of the Empress Dowager, and she can't do anything about the overall situation, she values herself first, and then the clansmen, as for the rest, she actually doesn't care as much as she shows.

In the final analysis, the queen mother is just an ordinary woman, or a woman who has been mistreated by life, the first half of her life can be said to be passive acceptance of everything without any choice, because she wants to live so she endures everything, but it becomes a habit to endure it, even if she has the opportunity to be the master of the house, it is difficult to pick up this burden, otherwise it is still very easy to just bring one or two Mongolian show girls back to Beijing, as long as you don't stuff it into the palace, the royal family can still marry, but unfortunately she can't see through, and the queen mother who died suddenly didn't have time to teach。

"Emperor, the mourning family heard that you are going to drive the imperial expedition in person, how can this be! As the king of a country, you are responsible for the safety of the entire Qing Dynasty, if you are in danger, it will shake the foundation of the country!" When the queen mother saw Kangxi, she didn't wait for him to salute, so she asked directly.

"Let the emperor worry. Kangxi frowned slightly when he heard this, but it was only for a moment, and then he saluted the queen mother, with a smile on his lips, and said in a pretended to be close: "But I can't back down on this matter, after all, what Galdan has done is very rebellious, everyone knows it, I must be an example, otherwise others will follow suit, where is the prestige of the Qing Dynasty?"

The queen mother saw Kangxi explain seriously, she didn't know how to say what she said, after all, this matter is really a matter of the court, even if she is the queen mother, she should not easily interfere, but in order to ensure her status, she had to persuade Kangxi, "But the emperor's safety is more important!"

Kangxi looked coldly at the Empress Dowager's self-righteous care, and his heart was indifferent, anyway, his affection for the Empress Dowager had already exhausted what she had done, and the reason why he still maintained a superficial peaceful relationship was because he couldn't take care of it, otherwise where would the Empress Dowager have the opportunity to talk nonsense in front of him.

Besides, if she was really worried about him, it would not be possible for her to just say a few words like this, and the expression of longing for him to arrange the future affairs properly and then pro-conquest could not be so clear? He knew very well the Empress Dowager's intentions, so the moment he decided to conquest in person, he had already taken all possibilities into account.

As the emperor, although he does not need to charge, but he has to command, it can be said that as long as he goes, he is the heart of the army, and his every move represents the momentum, but even this does not mean that he is absolutely safe, after all, it is not without monarchs in history who lost their lives because of stray arrows, he dare not bet, especially when the prince and others are not in the capital, he must ensure that something really happens to him, and Yinren can succeed to the throne smoothly. As for why Yinren was chosen, firstly, he is the rightful prince, and secondly, he has a good attitude towards Yunxi and the three children, just because Yunxi sacrificed himself to save him, he had to treat them well, and the other elder brothers, whether they are excellent or not, the forces behind them have not yet gathered and are already in chaos, let alone in the future.

"Huang Eniang, my imperial expedition is more of a situation, it is impossible to be like the ancestors and their side, do everything personally, and say that a Dzungar will not make me worry!" Kangxi smiled, his expression seemed calm, but his tone was undoubted.

The queen mother was dumbfounded by Kangxi's strength, and even uncertain, hating to be as clever as Concubine Zhao, and persuaded people in just a few words, but she knew very well that she couldn't do this, because the identity of the queen mother was her biggest reliance, the emperor had to take care of her identity as an elder, and Horqin was afraid of the meaning of her existence as the queen mother, but only she knew that such scruples were only for a while, not for a lifetime, otherwise she would not be so old and would have to calculate for the wealth and wealth of the second half of her life.

"But ......" The Queen Mother thought about it again and again and still didn't want to compromise like this, after all, she was not the Queen Mother, she couldn't figure out Kangxi's intentions, she couldn't see the overall situation, and she didn't have the courage to dare to play palace changes, so she could only use this stupid method, hoping that Kangxi himself could change his mind under his own persuasion.

"No, but, the matter has already been decided, in the next few days, I will lead the army to set off, and this palace will be temporarily entrusted to the emperor's mother. Kangxi smiled and began to change the subject.

The Queen Mother looked at Kangxi with a firm face, and she couldn't say anything, the words were all on this, if she wasn't interested, Kangxi was afraid that she wouldn't give her a good face, after all, this time is not as good as in the past, the Queen Mother is gone, and she doesn't have much power herself, where does she have the confidence to do it against the emperor, fortunately, she is not as urgent as the Queen Mother, and she is not as bold as her, otherwise the emperor is afraid that he will not have the patience to talk to her well!

Kangxi saw that the queen mother no longer persuaded him, and his attitude eased a lot, after all, he didn't want the backyard to catch fire, and he didn't want to make any more trouble, so he tried to appease as much as he could, but he really couldn't be appeased, so it was no wonder that he couldn't be appeased.

After almost half an hour, Kangxi left from Ningshou Palace, and when he returned to Qianqing Palace, Fuquan happened to have something to see, Kangxi didn't think much about it, so he directly announced him in. I thought he was looking for someone, but who knew that he was here to deliver the excerpt, Kangxi didn't say much, and after taking the excerpt and reading it, the expression on his face suddenly improved a lot.

Fuquan raised his head and looked at Kangxi's expression, and guessed in his heart that Concubine Zhao's injuries must have improved, so it's okay, if Concubine Zhao really goes, although the emperor will not be in chaos, but he will also mess up his mind, "Your Majesty, it should be good news for the slaves, since it is good news, then this battle will definitely be a big victory." ”

Compared with the difficulty of attacking the three feudatories, the problem on the Junggar side is obviously much smaller, if they are not well prepared, it may be very troublesome, but now it looks like he thinks too much, the emperor thinks more fully than him, and he thinks that the emperor is angry in his heart, and he also maintains his sanity, otherwise it will be difficult to have a good result if he really has to send troops rashly.

There was a lot of movement on the Dzungar side, and it seemed that Galdan also knew that he would not be able to escape, so after escaping from Mulan back to Dzungaria, he made great preparations. Presumably, in the near future, even if the Qing Dynasty does not send troops, Dzungar will come to the door to provoke, after all, no one likes to have a knife on their head all the time.

"Hmm. Concubine Zhao's injuries have improved, and the second brother has helped me arrange for it, and once Concubine Zhao wakes up and her injuries are stable, she will let people escort them back to Beijing. Although I have already arranged it in this palace, there are not many people who have changed, and I have to be careful and careful. Kangxi nodded with a smile when he heard this, but the next words he said were meaningful, obviously he was on guard against all the ministers in the court.

Fuquan just nodded clearly, the two brothers tacitly understood this tacit understanding, after all, although most of everything in the past was due to Kangxi, but without Fuquan's help, he would not have been able to get to this point so smoothly, and compared to those clan courtiers in the court, he and Kangxi had the same thoughts, so he naturally hoped that this battle could be won.
