Chapter 31: Urgent Report
"You!" Chen Ruzhu was speechless for a while, seeing that Chen Ruyu didn't mean to be wrong at all, after thinking about it, she also felt bored. She is so bitter that she is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, why bother?
"Let's have dinner, this is sent by Eniang, I'm afraid I'm hungry. You are angry with me, and don't live up to Eniang's love for you. After Chen Ruzhu finished speaking, she ate it first, and she didn't care about Chen Ruyu.
Chen Ruyu will quarrel with Chen Ruzhu this time, but she feels comfortable. Seeing that the table was really full of his favorite food, he also picked up the bowl and began to eat.
At this time, the palace once again received an urgent report from the Mongolian side, Galdan marched into Ulan Butong, Mongolia, and approached the capital, Kangxi summoned the military department secretary, the household department secretary, the cabinet minister and several generals with troops into the palace overnight to discuss.
The eldest brother, the crown prince, the fourth master, the fifth master, the seventh master and the eighth master were also called to the Qianqing Palace.
It was late at night, but the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit. All of them didn't feel sleepy and kept discussing. Everyone said their own ideas, and in the end, Kangxi decided.
"I didn't expect to make a comeback in just six years, this time, I must take his head for me!" Kangxi said with a calm face. This Galdan is truly unrepentant. Six years ago, he only led the remaining more than 1,000 people to escape, and now he dares to gather people to attack, it is really a wolf ambition!
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle!" Feiyangu stepped forward. He has the same name as the fourth master's father-in-law, Fei Yanggu, but he is the younger brother of the first emperor Dong Efei. When pacifying the three feudatories, he made a lot of contributions. Although his sister Concubine Dong E did not have a good reputation in the royal family, his ability was appreciated by Kangxi.
Seeing him stand up at this time, Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "I have sent 100,000 troops to attack this time, and they will attack in the east, west, and center. You will lead 30,000 horses for the west road, and Prince Gong Changning will lead 40,000 horses for the middle road, and Ma Siha will lead 30,000 horses for the east road, and set off in three days! In addition, the eldest brother and the eighth elder brother are the middle road pioneers, the fourth elder brother is the west road pioneer, and the fifth elder brother is the east pioneer, and they will go out together! The household department is equipped with grain and grass, and the military department is equipped with military supplies, and there must be no mistake! ”
"Yes, the ministers obey!" Everyone said in unison.
Outside the Qianqing Palace, the sky was already bright. However, the people who came out of it did not feel sleepy, and they all dispersed quickly in a hurry.
Kangxi, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, didn't rest at this time, had breakfast after washing, started the morning dynasty again, and announced last night's will.
This is the eighth master's first expedition. There was a faint excitement in my heart. Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, he followed closely behind the eldest brother.
"If the eighth brother doesn't go back to pack up his things, what are you doing with me?" Big Brother couldn't help but look back.
Kangxi's requirements for his sons are both civil and military, so even if they are as noble as a prince, they must go to the battlefield to experience. And the eldest brother, as the eldest son, likes to practice martial arts, so compared to other younger brothers who have become adults, he goes to the battlefield the most.
The eighth master paused and said busily: "Big brother, I just want to ask you, what do I need to prepare?" The first time I went to the battlefield, I, I was a little apprehensive. After speaking, the eighth master scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Seeing him like this, the eldest brother showed a faint smile on his face, and said, "I think the eighth brother is quite clever on weekdays, why did he stay today?" Now you can naturally prepare a change of clothes, gold sore medicine, maps, war books, and other practical things! Did the eighth brother think he was going to enjoy the mountains and rivers? ”
The eighth master's expression was stunned, and he muttered, "I, I'm not too excited!" ”
"It's like this for the first time on the battlefield!" The eldest brother laughed, "The eighth brother went back and calmed down and thought about it, and then he knew what to prepare." ”
"Thank you, big brother! I'm confused too! The eighth master also laughed.
Sending the eldest brother to the gate of the palace, on the way back to the eighth master, he thought that among all the preparations, reporting to Eniang was the first and most important thing! Thinking of this, he hurried to Chuxiu Palace.
Concubine Hui, as the head of the four concubines, is no longer favored, but the news in the palace is still well-informed. She had just gotten up, and the news that the Qianqing Palace was lit up overnight reached her ears.
"Oh?" Concubine Hui raised her eyebrows slightly, thought about the recent events, and her face changed, "Don't be an emergency military situation, right?" She hurriedly looked at Qing Dai beside her and said, "Do you know who were called into the palace last night?" ”
"I heard that from the eldest brother to the eighth elder brother, there seems to be Lord Feiyangu." Qing Dai said.
"Big brother, I'm afraid I'm going to go on the expedition!" Concubine Hui will calm down. Her son likes to lead soldiers to war. From the time he set out on the expedition at the age of eighteen, she knew that this son belonged to the battlefield. That year, he went to the battlefield for the first time, but he was not afraid and made great achievements. Because of this, he was named Baylor and became the first person among the princes except the crown prince.
"He is blessed with a heavy body, so that she will not work, you prepare some things and send them to the eldest brother's mansion. Move fast! Concubine Hui commanded.
"Yes, slave and maid are going!" Qing Dai answered, turned around and went down to arrange.
In the past two years, as long as the eldest brother goes out, Niangniang will prepare things. These close servants are already very skilled.
The eighth master came in at this time, and almost collided with Qingdai who went out in a hurry.
"The slave has seen the eighth master!" Qingdai hurriedly stopped and saluted.
"Get up." The eighth master waved his hand, wondering in his heart that she looked hurried, but he didn't stop her from asking, but entered the main hall and bowed down to Concubine Hui who was sitting in the middle and said, "Erchen asks Concubine Hui for peace!" ”
"Why did you come here so early?" Concubine Hui looked surprised and said, "Don't you need to go to court early today?" ”
"Emperor Ama ordered his ministers to go on an expedition and set off in three days. Therefore, Erchen came to bid farewell to Concubine Hui and Eniang. The eighth master said with a faint smile.
"Expedition? Where to? Concubine Hui asked, "What about your eldest brother?" Go? ”
"It's still Galdan!" The eighth master replied: "Big brother will go too." He was busy going back to prepare, and he should come to bid farewell to Concubine Hui in person later. ”
"Hey, why is this Galdan here again? Aren't you afraid of fighting? Concubine Hui sighed, looked at the eighth master with a concerned face, and said, "This is the first time you have gone to the battlefield, follow your eldest brother closely, and let him protect you!" Go and talk to Eniang, if she knows, I don't know how to worry! ”
"Well, Concubine Xie Hui cares, so the sons will retire first." The eighth master walked out of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace and walked towards the side hall of the Wei family.
Wei didn't know anything at this time, and was doing his daily morning class and chanting scriptures.
When she heard that the eighth master was coming, she was also very surprised. It's not the right time! The abnormality may be something, and she suddenly hung in the air. When I heard that the eighth master was about to go to the battlefield, tears fell!
