Chapter 44 Military Merit

When Lin Ruhai's funeral passed, Daiyu followed the boat all the way into the capital, the business here is very stable, and there are a lot of professionals, even if the matter is over temporarily, Zhiyun has some experiments to do, and Ouyang can't let go of all kinds of affairs of the imperial court, so he plans to stay here for a while and stay in the capital for a while.

As soon as she got home, Zhiyun nested in the laboratory for half a month, until Mama Cui came to report that Xiao Gege was sick, so she threw down the test materials and honestly went to serve the child.

Xu is a recent change of season, a little cold, Yuanyuan is infected with the wind cold, although Zhiyun saw it, he poured a bottle of orange-flavored potion into her stomach, and her daughter's illness was cured immediately.

But for a few days, the little girl's spirit was still a little bad, she had been lying on the bed crookedly, refusing to go out at all, this girl had followed Zhiyun's sex, she was very lazy, and now she is sick, and she is almost angry and resentful.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhiyun made a fuss about the little girl who had taken a nap until the end of the day, and despite her protest with her teeth and claws, she took a blanket and hugged her to the courtyard, intending to let her daughter bask in the sun.

On the stone table, a small furnace with gold lacquer carving pattern ignited curling white smoke, and a fragrant fragrance of kumquat drifted away with the wind. On an autumn day, it is rare for a little warm sunlight to shine through the curtains.

A long rattan chair hanging in the air, Zhiyun hugged her daughter, and shook it gently up and down, sure enough, the attraction of such a thing as a swing to the little girl is not small, and after a while, Yuanyuan, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, giggled and twisted in his mother's arms.

The acacia flowers in the garden not far away are in full bloom, July saw it, jumped and ran to pick a lot, Cui Mama sat beside Zhiyun, while looking at a large and a small two masters lovingly, from time to time took the snacks and tea placed on the stone table to Zhiyun and Yuanyuan to eat and drink, this time I saw the tender osmanthus petals, and murmured: "This year's osmanthus is good, tonight the old slave will show his hand, let our little master taste the osmanthus cake made by the old slave." ”

But I don't want to, her words haven't fallen yet, October has already come over with a golden osmanthus cake, and Tilian's white porcelain, filled with golden lovely pastries carved into various fruit shapes, full of color and flavor, Zhiyun is very happy to see it, and said with a smile: "Hehe, let's go with Mama Cui in October, osmanthus cake is a good thing, dissipate cold and break knots, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, girls eat more is beneficial." ”

After that, Zhiyun picked up a small piece, took a bite of it first, only to feel that the outside was crispy and the inside was tender, and the fragrance of acacia flowers lingered between the teeth and cheeks, and it was indeed a pure natural and pollution-free delicious food, smiled, took a handkerchief and wiped the hands of the little girl, and let her grab the osmanthus cake and eat it by herself.

After a while, Ouyang held Hongyang in his arms, followed Honghao by his side, walked all the way, saw Zhiyun, and the first thing he said was: "Have you heard?" That year, Ruyu and Guo Tai Bulu of the Tuertala family got married......"

Zhiyun raised her eyebrows lazily and smiled, "What? Are you reluctant to be beautiful? ”

Ouyang rolled his eyes, stuffed the cute fat boy in his arms into his daughter-in-law's arms, picked up his baby girl, and squeezed his daughter-in-law to sit down, "Okay, don't squeeze me, anyway, when that crazy young lady gets married, we all have less trouble, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." However, it is a pity that Guo Taibulu matches her. ”

For this little Lan Ling guard, Ouyang Zhi has a little impression, this human nature is wooden, but his skills are really good, the first-class imperial guards in the palace, in terms of skills alone, I am afraid there are not many stronger than him. It's just that this person doesn't look very good, black and strong, one meter eight tall, his neck is very thick, his head is not small, it is rare to open his mouth once, every time he speaks, he makes a loud noise, and his appearance looks stupid and evil, so even if he is good, he can't become a close guard of the emperor who has high requirements for his appearance, Ouyang Zhi feels that he goes to the battlefield to break through and gain fame, which is much more promising than mixing in Beijing, after all, when he really goes to the battlefield, as long as he can fight, no one cares about his appearance.

That young lady Ruyu failed to marry into the royal family, I heard that Nian Yaoling has recently hooked up with the old fourteen for a while, he is now the third, eighth, and fourteenth, each of them doesn't want to let go, the posture is very ambiguous, but he is his own door, this kind of wall grass character, no matter which one is in the future, he can't please it.

Kangxi will never allow an ambitious woman like Nian Ruyu to marry his sons, and now that he is talking about marriage, it seems that the Nian family has also figured it out, too, Nian Yaoling has never been a stupid person, but now that he is old, his spirit is not good, and he is a little negligent about his children's affairs.

For Nian Ruyu, Ouyang and Zhiyun didn't pay much attention to it when they were not free, and when it came to the recent possible military operation, several powerful emperors and elder brothers wanted to meddle in the matter, which made a lot of noise, and it made Zhiyun more curious.

Tsewang Alabutan of the Dzungar Department has always made frequent small moves, not only gathering heavy troops and expanding territory, but also from time to time arson troops to harass and plunder the areas heavily controlled by the Qing troops.

Although it reached an agreement with the Qing Dynasty in the early years, it has never stopped, and Kangxi has also been very protective of it.

However, the Dzungar Department is far away, the Qing Dynasty can be said to be beyond the reach of the border chief, this battle is fought, logistics is very problematic, the military budget is also extremely high, I am afraid it is not cost-effective, if possible, Kangxi really does not want to compete with such a small broken place in his old age, even if he wins, the benefits he can get are really not high, but, seeing that the contradiction between the Qing Dynasty and Dzungaria is getting bigger and bigger, the other party has been coveting the Turpan region, for the interests of the west and the peace of the frontier, this battle, I'm afraid it's right around the corner.

Obviously, the old fourteen are very interested in participating in this matter in person, and in recent times, he has been running to Concubine De Niangniang every day, that is, when Zhiyun went to ask for peace, he met him several times.

Fourteen hoped to get help, but Concubine De was probably reluctant to go to the battlefield as a child, and Zhiyun and Ouyang pondered, at most, they would persuade him to install someone of their own.

Not only the old fourteenth, the third, and the old ten also want to get a piece of the pie, except for the old ten who really want to go to the battlefield, everyone else is probably thinking about military exploits.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen can be said to be deeply favored by Emperor Kangxi in recent years, in the court, his power is not smaller than other elder brothers, although it is not very obvious, because there are many in the secret, and there are few on the surface, and many of the ministers who are always in the court and do not deal with him are his people. Recently, the people around Yinzhen also came to inquire side-by-side to see if they could get a piece of the pie, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had heavy military merits, and the opportunity was rare.

However, the fourth brother is not as lively as the other brothers, at most he said hello to the new firearms battalion stationed in Xishan, and muttered a few words casually in front of Kangxi by the way, talking about the combat effectiveness of these newly formed armies, as well as the problem of how to train the troops, it is estimated that Kangxi also wants to see how the new army of the Eight Banners has just changed recently.

Once these new armies are on the battlefield, even if Yinzhen takes the lead, anyway, in the new army formed by the imperial court in recent years, eighty percent of the small leaders are Yinzhen's people, and all of them have signed magic contracts and are loyal, so now even if he only watches from the sidelines, he can't suffer a loss.

I have to say that recently, with the fourth elder brother coming to the forefront, the relationship between him and his younger brother Fourteenth Elder Brother has become more and more tense, even if Yin Zhen gives in on his face, he has been taught by Concubine De from a very young age not to trust his fourth brother's fourteenth brother too much, but no matter what, he can't rest assured that he is the elder brother.

Fourteen always feels that compared to the gloomy and stereotyped, cold-faced fourth, he is much more outstanding, he is younger than the fourth (it can't be seen from the appearance), more energetic than him, and now because of the original protection of the eighth brother, into the eyes of Kangxi, as he grows older, more and more stable and mature, and also began to run errands, no longer the arrogant and domineering elder brother who is protected by the favored Eniang, or the younger brother who follows the starling brother and has not been taken seriously, he can now think about the chair that no one wants as long as it is the imperial elder brother.

However, Yin Zhen has always been giving in to his younger brother's pressing step by step, refusing to have any frontal conflict with Fourteen at all, so that Fourteen always punches the cotton and is awkward.

"E-Niang"

Zhiyun came back to her senses, and as soon as she looked down, she saw Honghao staring at Honghao, who was sitting on her lap and happily eating pastries, obviously dissatisfied with her recent snub.

Seeing that Chang, who has always been calm, has also learned to eat his brother's vinegar, Zhiyun smiled unconsciously, reached out and scooped up the baby and held it in his arms, fortunately, the rattan chair was very large, and the three of them sat together, and it was not crowded.

Now Honghao was a little embarrassed, twisted his small body, his face was flushed, but he didn't say that he wanted to go down, Zhiyun sighed, watching his body grow, he had already taken off his childish baby, and felt a little distressed.

The emperor's attention is a good thing, but it is too hard, the Qing Dynasty's emperor brothers are not easy, every day before dawn you have to go to the study to read, unless you are sick or birthday, otherwise there is no time to rest, if in case of which little brother gets the emperor's attention, it is even more amazing, the masters in the study will be eager to stuff a lot of poems and books in the head of the little brother, they don't want to think, old children, even if they start early, how many things can they learn to understand?

After thinking about it, Zhiyun glared at Ouyang and promised the baby: "Lele, wait a few days for Eniang to take you out to play." "Let Ouyang go and tell Kangxi that he wants to take his son to another world to see the world, and he must like Kangxi who likes Honghao the most, so he won't disagree.

What else can Ouyang do? He could only touch his nose and admit it, although he felt that Kangxi, who doted on Sun, would not be willing to go to that place to take risks.
