On May 15th, the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the gate of Yongding in Beijing was very lively today. A large group of old men in neat robes and coats gathered early in the morning. Beautiful and elegant painted archways were built inside and outside the gate. There were also large groups of Eight Banners soldiers, Green Camp soldiers, and regiment training soldiers, carrying spears and muskets, standing guard inside and outside. This scene is almost catching up with the Emperor's return to Beijing!
Oh, by the way, the current Qing Dynasty theoretically does not have an emperor. It is a country without a father and a king.
Kangxi was still the Supreme Emperor, Fuquan was a prisoner, and Shunzhi theoretically did not exist. Therefore, the throne is vacant and the country has no king. Maybe when writing the "History of the Four Kingdoms War" in the future, the current period will be called the "Little Interregnum Period of the Qing Dynasty"?
However, this "small interregnum" obviously will not last long. If everything goes well, then today is the last day of the small interregnum of the Qing Dynasty, because these old officials who were lured by Kangxi from Sijiu City want to Those who came to greet him were the king and ministers who came to Beijing for a meeting.
If these political kings and ministers still have some thoughts of serving the country and the flag, and Kangxi, the supreme emperor who controls Beijing, can bear to seek the throne, then today's meeting of political kings and ministers should be able to cancel the opposition All Kangxi's punishments restored him to the throne.
However, in the eyes of a group of Han people from the outer city of Beijing who did not mind the excitement, how could this meeting of kings and ministers discuss affairs be held peacefully? How could Emperor Mazi be so easy to get along with? How could he let go of the council kings and council ministers who deposed him? How could those political kings and ministers who voted to remove Kangxi and even had a military encounter with Kangxi elect Kangxi to the throne again?
So today's meeting of kings and ministers to discuss politics will most likely be a full-scale martial arts meeting!
The question now is where to fight?
If a war breaks out inside Yongding Gate, then everyone has to go back and run away with their wives and children. If they enter the inner city and close Zhengyang Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Chongwen Gate before killing, then it will be fine.
However, this group of old Beijingers who came over to see if there was an ambush or murderous intent saw a peaceful atmosphere. There were no ambushes anywhere, and even more experienced old Beijingers found familiar Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers to follow them. After inquiring about the news, they also got an answer that surprised them.
"Just live your life with peace of mind. We can't fight. Wu Shijue's 20,000 elite soldiers have already withdrawn, so why fight? If we really want to fight, we won't let the Wu soldiers leave."
"Where is the ambush? Are you not fascinated by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and "Water Margin"? A cup is thrown as a sign, and the swordsman and axe-hand come out to kill people? That's impossible! Did you see that? Those who wear brave uniforms are all from the Zhili regiment, and are soldiers of the Yang family of Tianjin Wei! Those Eight Banners soldiers who look like they don't recognize their relatives are all Sauron and Baerhu barbarians from outside the pass. They are not the soldiers of the Supreme Emperor."
"Also, this meeting of the king and ministers will no longer be held in the Four Nine Cities. After the Temple of Heaven was opened in the Daxiang Hall of the Temple of Heaven, it was specially used to hold the meeting of the kings and ministers. Today, the defenders of the Temple of Heaven are all the emperors. How can we fight with the bodyguards and the bodyguards of several political kings? What a real fight?"
"The fire is over. Haven't you heard? The Supreme Emperor has issued an edict to marry the daughter of the Yang family in Tianjin as his queen! From now on, the Yang family will be the Supreme Emperor's own, so why fight?"
Obviously, Kangxi was sincere about "establishing the constitution" this time, and it would be okay if he was not sincere!
The armies of Wu Shifan and Li Zhongshan are still facing each other at Hulao Pass! In the Hulao Pass of the Qing Dynasty! The Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were competing for the Heluo land of the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty became a bystander. Let alone talk about troops, they didn't even dare to utter a fart.
In this situation, if we still have to open fire and annex, will the Qing Dynasty still want it? Don't go back and get angry, the Qing Dynasty will also join in the fun.
Even if the Qing Dynasty can't play for a while, the harm to the people of the Qing Dynasty can be imagined by a large-scale conflagration under the current situation of the enemy. If the hearts of the people were scattered, even if Kangxi barely won the war, he would not be able to lead the Qing army.
So this time Kangxi could only recognize the legitimacy of the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss politics, regain the throne he had lost, and then slowly find a way to deal with these rebellious officials and traitors. Not all of them should be dealt with, so Yang Qilong would not deal with them. !
First of all, Yang Qilong has agreed to seize the throne of North Korea, and he also sincerely invited Cao Yin to go with him. He also wanted Cao Yin to be the Prime Minister of North Korea. This is very good, so let him go with Cao Yin!
Secondly, Kangxi was extremely satisfied with Yang Xiaomi’s service!
Kangxi, who had been busy for half the night last night, got up from the dragon bed and stretched himself, feeling very satisfied. Looking around, Yang Xiaomi was wrapped in a quilt, lying on one side with her hair scattered, and there were some tears on her face.
Three days ago, Kangxi received Cao Yin's reward. He immediately invited Yang Xiaomi to his Qianqing Palace, and then showed her Yang Qilong's autographed letter. Then he immediately asked Li Guangdi to make plans for marrying Yang Xiaomi. Later edict.
Although it would take some time to officially marry Yang Xiaomi, this did not prevent Kangxi from enjoying the beauty's body first. Of course, it was not entirely because of lust, but because he wanted to have a son as soon as possible!
Historically, Kangxi already had his eldest elder brother Yinti and second elder brother Yinreng, but now he only has three daughters and several sons have died (probably because of the difficult conditions during the expedition), so now If the heir to the throne of the Qing Dynasty follows the order of succession, it would be Prince Gong Chang Ning's turn! If a nephew is to be adopted, then Chang Ning's son will succeed him.
In this case, Chang Ning's status is very prominent!
If Kangxi really wants to touch him, Kangxi's own cronies will object. If Chang Ning is gone, what will happen to the Qing Dynasty if Kangxi is gone without giving birth to a son? Who will be the emperor? Shunzhi did have a seventh son, Prince Chun, Longxi, but he was a sick boy. He contracted tuberculosis at a young age without knowing it, and it seemed that he would not live long. Moreover, he was already sixteen years old this year, and even his son was ill. If you don't have half a girl, can it be called "infertility"?
So if Chang Ning was destroyed by Kangxi, then it would be a question who would be the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Kangxi worked extra hard in the past two days and worked overtime every night.
At this moment, Yang Xiaomi seemed to be awakened by the sound of Kangxi getting up. He opened his big eyes and looked at Kangxi timidly. Kangxi's desire to conquer was aroused!
Kangxi patted her and said with a smile: "Xiao Mi, don't worry. When today's meeting of political kings and ministers is over, I will become the emperor again, and I will carry you in from the Qing Gate immediately and make you the queen. !”
In fact, Yang Xiaomi is now the master of the harem!
When Kangxi appointed her as his queen, he immediately fulfilled his promise, and immediately ordered Kunning Palace to be organized as Yang Xiaomi's bedroom. This treatment was higher than that of Kangxi's original queen Hesheli, and also better than Kangxi's two When my aunt was a queen, they only lived in Kunning Palace for three days during their wedding and then moved out.
In addition, Kangxi also asked people to prepare Xinuang Pavilion for Yang Xiaomi in the Qianqing Palace as her residence when accompanying Kangxi.
However, in the past two days, Yang Xiaomi neither went to Kunning Palace nor went to live in the Xinuang Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. Instead, he slept directly in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Kangxi!
"Yeah." Yang Xiaomi nodded lightly.
Kangxi smiled and said: "It's getting late. It's time for me to go to the Temple of Heaven for a meeting. If I don't go, I'll make the political kings and ministers wait!"
"Yeah." Yang Xiaomi nodded and looked at Kangxi with his big eyes blinking.
I don’t know if having a good-looking face and a graceful figure took advantage of her. Anyway, Yang Xiaomi said “hmm” twice and glanced at Kangxi again, which made Kangxi feel extremely comfortable. He immediately shouted with a smile: “Here comes someone.” Now, change my clothes!"
Shaanxi, Chang'an, Prince's Mansion.
Wu Yingxiong's residence in Chang'an was not called the East Palace, but was named the Prince's Mansion. This is because the calling of the prince's official residence as the East Palace began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wu Sangui's Zhou Dynasty followed the Zhou system, so there is no such thing as the Prince's East Palace. .
Moreover, Wu Yingxiong's Prince's Mansion is not to the east of the palace, but to the west of the palace, near Xihua Gate. The Xihua Gate is the main thoroughfare into and out of the inner city of Chang'an (originally Mancheng) and the outer city. Since the inner city of Chang'an is full of yamen, military camps, and palaces, it is very strictly controlled and not very prosperous. The delicious and fun businesses are all in the outer city, so Xihuamen Inner Street is a prime location, with large shopping malls on both sides of the street. In addition to the Prince's Mansion, there are many large and small mansions, including Wu Yingqi's Qin Prince's Mansion, Wu Guogui's Chu Prince's Mansion, several princess mansions, Wu Sanwei's Zhongshan County Prince's Mansion, and Sun Yanling's Dingnan County Duke's Mansion, among which Sun Yanling's Dingnan Mansion is Nanjun Duke's Mansion is not far from Wu Yingxiong's Prince's Mansion.
So Sun Yanling likes to come to Wu Yingxiong's house whenever he has something to do. Wu Yingxiong was also very familiar with his wife Kong Sizhen when he was a hostage, so he has a good relationship with Sun Yanling.
Now that I see Sun Yanling in such a miserable state, I feel very sad and want to arrange a good marriage for him.
"Changsheng (Sun Yanling's name), what do you think of Shuying? Although she has been married twice, she is still young, only in her twenties, and has never given birth to children. She is very well-maintained. I heard Isn’t it interesting that you always run to her these days? How about I be a matchmaker for you."
It turns out that Wu Yingxiong wanted to give his new good sister Shang Shuying to Sun Yanling
But Sun Yanling shook her head and sighed softly, with tears in her eyes, "Prince, to be honest, I went to Shang Gege not because I was lusting after her body, but because I wanted to ask her about my son Ji Qing. I haven’t seen him for several years.”
He was about to cry as he spoke.
Wu Yingxiong became anxious as soon as he saw it, and quickly comforted him: "Changsheng, Changsheng, don't cry. Why are you crying? That Ji Qing, he is not Zhen Gege and that Huo Lu Bu, this one."
This Wu Yingxiong is really good at comforting people!
"No! He is my son! He is my son!" Sun Yanling immediately shouted anxiously, "He is my biological son!"
"This." Wu Ying said in his heart: Why is your biological son so similar to Wang Datou? The first time I saw Wang Datou, I admitted that I was wrong! This is obviously wrong!
But Wu Yingxiong didn't dare to mention this to Sun Yanling. Because he himself and Wu Sangui didn't look alike, but Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong looked just like middle-aged Wu Sangui and young Wu Sangui!
In addition, his fourth uncle Wu Sanwei is not similar to his father Wu Sangui. It can be seen that brothers do not necessarily look alike, but they look alike
When Wu Yingxiong was about to be bypassed by him, Sun Yanling suddenly asked again: "Prince, does my son like your daughter Xiaoji?"
"Yes." Wu Yingxiong nodded, "Zhen Gege even sent Fu Honglie to propose marriage to me!"
"Then you agreed?" Sun Yanling asked again.
Wu Yingxiong looked embarrassed, shook his head and said: "Changsheng, I think this is very good. My father also likes Li Sunjiqing very much, but my daughter Xiaoji was given to Wang Datou as a concubine by Kangxi. Wang Datou If we don’t issue a document for repatriation, Xiaoji will be someone else’s!”
"Yes, but aren't Xiaoxian's people here in Dazhou?" Sun Yanling said, "Wouldn't it be all solved by just one sentence from the emperor?"
"That's not possible," Wu Yingxiong waved his hand and said, "Xiaoji's decision to be Wang Datou's concubine was not only Kangxi's will, but also Jianning's agreement. Moreover, Wang Datou also risked beheading to rescue Shifan. Now. How could I turn my back and deny it? Besides, Wang Datou is currently leading tens of thousands of troops stationed in Guangwu Mountain to confront Shifan who is stationed in Hulao Pass. He is here to ask for help!
Changsheng, to be honest, my father and I are extremely satisfied with your son, and we are not willing to let Xiaoxian become Wang Datou's concubine. But we really don't care about this matter! Alas, I am worried about this too! "
Sun Yanling became anxious after hearing this. In his opinion, his son marrying Princess Jiading of the Great Zhou Dynasty was definitely a way to get rid of the control of living Lu Bu and return to his biological father.
After all, with the support of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Sun Jiqing could effectively control the vassal territory in Guangxi, and then break away from the Ming Dynasty and switch to the Zhou Dynasty.
He shook his head and said: "Prince, you can't delay Princess Jiading's life! That Wang Datou is not a good person. It's okay for Princess Jiading to be his eldest wife. If you become his little wife, you will definitely be bullied!"
Wu Yingxiong sighed: "That's right! But what if Wang Datou leads his troops to rob him? Although Shifan blocked him from Hulao Pass, it's impossible to really start a war over this matter!"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"What else can it mean?" Wu Yingxiong said, "Of course the emperor hopes that Wang Datou can be sent back to Xiaoxian. If he is willing to issue the documents, Xiaoxian will be able to marry the son immediately!"
"Immediately?" Sun Yanling's eyes lit up.
"Yes!" Wu Yingxiong nodded, "Your Majesty is in Hunan these days."
"In Hunan?" Sun Yanling had tears in her eyes again, "He is in the land of Zhou Dynasty?"
"That's right!" Wu Yingxiong said, "He had offended Wang Datou because of Xiao Geng's incident. Zheng Gege didn't dare to keep him in Nanjing, so he asked Fu Honglie to send him back to Guangxi. Now the land transportation between Nanjing and Guangxi is controlled by Geng Jingzhong It’s cut off, so he can only take advantage of Da Zhou.”
"But why didn't I know? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Sun Yanling looked at Wu Yingxiong pitifully and asked.
"Well." Wu Yingxiong looked embarrassed again, "Chang Sheng, you, you know the reason is inconvenient, it is inconvenient for him to recognize you! If he wants to recognize you, how can he still be the military envoy of Guihai Navy? Those people from Gui Haijun will betray Ming Dynasty and Zhen Gege for you? Unless..."
"Unless what?" Sun Yanling knew there was something going on as soon as she heard "unless".
"Unless the Young Master can marry Xiao Xian and become the Prince Consort of Da Zhou!" Wu Yingxiong said, "With the support of Da Zhou, the people in Gui Haijun will support the Young Master's surname being Sun!"
Sun Yanling seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw - Sun Jiqing was his only flesh and blood! Now that he has become Li Jiqing, how sad is he?
"Is Princess Jiading in Chang'an now?" Sun Yanling didn't know how to figure it out, but she actually asked Wu Yingxiong face to face.
"No." Wu Yingxiong is also an honest person, "She is in Nanyang's Nanyang Governor's Mansion, which is Shifan's territory."
"Why is she going to Nanyang?" Sun Yanling asked puzzledly.
Wu Yingxiong smiled bitterly: "Changsheng, isn't it obvious? Zhanli'er Xiaoxian is Wang Datou's man! Wang Datou has led 50,000 troops to demand his men. How can Shifan really fight him? Shifan I was very much in favor of it back then, but I can't turn my back on it now! Besides, Shifan probably can't beat Wang Datou, and now it's just about negotiating terms. I estimate that the negotiation can be completed in ten days and a half."
"So fast?" Sun Yanling was surprised.
Wu Yingxiong nodded and said: "Shuangyu has finished his errand in Beijing and is leading an army of 20,000 people south to fight against Changsheng. Don't think that Shuangyu will help Shifan defeat Wang Datou. This is not possible. As soon as he arrives, The two sides will definitely be able to negotiate, so your son and Xiaoji are destined to be inseparable!"
