Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xianfu Palace is one of the six west palaces of the inner court. It is located to the west of Chuxiu Palace. Although its location is slightly remote, it is the place where Zhenwu goes most often. Not only does the Xianfu Palace live in the concubine Zhang Mengjiao, but also the most favored Zhou Roujia in recent times.  He also lives in it. In the palace, all status and status are secondary. The emperor's favor is the most real thing. With the emperor's favor, why are you worried about not having status or status?

    Due to the frequent visits of Zhenwu, Xianfu Palace, although a bit remote, is no longer as cold and quiet as it used to be. The most snobbish eunuchs do not dare to neglect the trivial matters of Xianfu Palace. It can be said that they are involved in every detail.  All the allocated supplies are of the best quality and are often in excess. Charcoal, which is most important in winter, is in open supply.

    The concubine Zhang Mengjiao was very smart, and she knew very well that flowers never last a hundred days, so she did not only favor her, but she tried her best to win over the queen and concubines. She was even more protective of Zhou Roujia, her new favorite who lived in Zhenwu Palace of Xianfu Palace.  , she knew that the intention of Zhenwu General Zhou Roujia to be sent to Xianfu Palace was to ask her to take care of him.

    In the warm spring-like West Nuan Pavilion of Xianfu Palace, Zhang Mengjiao was drinking tea while having a casual chat with Zhou Roujia, who was sewing clothes for her pet dog. She was several years younger than her, had a gentle temperament, and was a bit naive.  She is a romantic, newly wealthy person who likes to raise birds, dogs and other pets. She is happy from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, once Zhenwu stays at Xianfu Palace, he likes to pull her and the two of them to sleep together. Because of this inhumane reason, the two of them  People's relationships are also closer.

    "Master, the prince is here." Zixia, the personal maid, came in and knelt down to report.

    When she heard that the eunuch beside Zhenwu was coming, Zhang Mengjiao couldn't help but smile and said: "Please come quickly."

    "I would like to express my regards to Empress Qi and to Mr. Zhou." The young eunuch Wang Hong quickly pricked Qian'er as soon as he came in, then stood up and continued: "Congratulations to the empress, the emperor has sent a servant to pass the news and have a meal at Xianfu Palace.  .¡±

    Hearing that Zhenwu came over to have a meal, Zhang Mengjiao smiled and said: "My lord, Zixia, let me reward you for your hard work."

    "Thank you, concubine Qi, for your reward." Wang Hong bowed and said with a smile on his face.

    Wang Hong waited and exited.  Zhang Mengjiao looked at Zhou Roujia and said with a smile: "Roujia, what do you want to eat?"

    Zhou Roujia tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "Let's have hot pot, the emperor also likes it. I like boiled mutton."

    "Be careful you get fat to death." Zhang Mengjiao stood up with a smile.  He said: "You sit down, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."

    Zhou Roujia wrinkled her nose and chuckled, "I'm not afraid of getting fat, but my sister should be careful."

    "Okay. How dare you call me fat? Look back and see how I deal with you." Zhang Mengjiao said with a smile and left the curtain.

    Zhang Mengjiao and Zhou Roujia were happy for nothing. Zhenwu broke the appointment. As soon as he left Qianqing Palace, he received the report.  Wang Yinxiang of Yijun sent a sign outside to ask for an audience.  Yinxiang was in charge of the Ministry of War and was responsible for the recruitment of new soldiers. Naturally, Zhenwu would not neglect it and immediately returned to the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, wondering why Yinxiang came.

    Yinxiang came very quickly. After entering, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Yinxiang, respectfully wishes you His Majesty's peace."

    Zhenwu smiled slightly and said: "No courtesy. I will give you a seat."

    After thanking him, Yinxiang did not sit down, but took a glance and saw that there were no living officials or eunuchs in the palace.  He then took out two sealed bamboo pipes and said, "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have received a pigeon letter from Rehe."

    Pigeon messages from Rehe?  Zhenwu couldn't help but frown slightly. Has Kangxi's condition changed?  Isn't it because the condition is getting worse?  He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After checking the sealing wax briefly, he crushed the sealing wax and took out the secret message.  After a brief glance, he didn't call anyone, just took out the code book to check, and quickly translated it.  Just one sentence, 'The Emperor's stroke has improved greatly.  I can already speak clearly, but my speed is a little slow.  ¡¯

    Did Kangxi¡¯s condition improve?  Zhenwu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and handed the note to Yinxiang. He was wondering whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Ordinarily, this was a happy event, but he couldn't be happy.

    After a long moment of silence, Yinxiang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Shunyi camp has been basically emptied. There are only two thousand elites left to guard the camp, and the Tianjin navy is also very depleted."

    Zhenwu glanced at him in surprise. Lao Shisan actually bluntly asked him to take precautions. Is it necessary?  After shaking his head slightly, he said: "Brother Thirteen is too worried. Emperor Ama has always cherished feathers throughout his life. Besides, after such a serious illness, what else can Huang Ama not let go of?"

    "Your Majesty." Yinxiang said in a deep voice: "I am not worried about the emperor, but about the royal family members and nobles of the capital." After a slight pause, he continued: "Since the Emperor's imperial conquest, the five princes have been confiscated.  Banner power, the capital's banner men were transferred to the Tianjin military workshop, the implementation of the system of sharing grains with farmers, the government and the gentry paying grain as errands, and the reform of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes.

    Immediately afterwards, Xi'an Mancheng was sold, and the Eight Banners stationed in the local area were allowed to purchase locally.??Industry, another 10,000 new imperial guards were stationed in Xi'an. At the same time, the Qing military system was reformed, and the status of the Eight Banners soldiers was reduced to the same as that of the Green Camp. The new imperial guards also began to recruit a large number of Han people. Not only that, the capital will build another  A larger military workshop will inevitably attract more bannermen into the military workshop.

    Your Majesty, all the above-mentioned measures are to continuously weaken and deprive the power of the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners. It has only been one year. The reason why the royal family and princes of the capital have gone bankrupt and even borrowed heavily to develop overseas feudal countries is that  Because of fear, fear that the emperor would eventually completely take away their privileges.

    The princes and nobles of the Eight Banners have enjoyed their privileges for decades, but once they were deprived of them all, they would definitely be unhappy. Huang Ama's condition improved, which was an excellent opportunity for them. I was worried that they would sow discord among the brothers and sisters of the Tian family.  Love puts the emperor in a difficult situation, and I sincerely pray that the emperor will think twice.  "

    After hearing this, Zhenwu was speechless for a long time. He also knew that it was not good to act too hastily, but if he did not do so, he would not be able to force those Eight Banners princes and nobles to devote all their energy to overseas feudal countries. He understood what Lao Shisan meant and allocated the most  The reliable navy and new imperial guard troops were stationed in the capital to frighten these Eight Banners princes and nobles and prevent them from having delusions.

    But now both the navy and the new imperial guard army have been transferred to Japan, Africa, the Persian Gulf, and the Bay of Bengal. The three naval academies left behind are all new recruits, and the number is not large. The new imperial guard army transferred to Xi'an cannot be moved.  To prevent changes in the northwest, and such an obvious mobilization of troops, could Kangxi not know why?  What would he think?  Not only is it just looking for trouble, it may even be self-defeating.

    After thinking for a moment, he said: "There is no need to add any extraneous details. The recruitment of new soldiers is coming to an end. Strengthen the training of new soldiers and strengthen the control of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing."

    Seeing that Zhenwu was unmoved, Yinxiang stopped saying anything and hurriedly bowed and said: "I obey the order."
