Chapter 23 Battle Report
Forbidden City, South Study Room.
Kangxi is discussing with Suo'etu, Moluo, Tuhai and other ministers.
Mingzhu, Minister of the Ministry of War, walked in quickly and presented two memorials, "Your Majesty, there is news from the west. Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Shaanxi Admiral Wang Fuchen has accepted the imperial court's invitation, and will enter Beijing to see the Emperor soon."
Kangxi was overjoyed, and patted the table down, "Okay! Let Mi Sihan go to prepare. As soon as Wang Fuchen enters the capital, he will be summoned in Yingtai. The guard of honor and the scene should be more grand, let him, and those who wait and see Look at the sincerity of the imperial court's recruitment. You and Tu Hai go down to discuss and see what kind of official position is suitable for the conferment of Wang Fuchen, and report it to me tomorrow."
Suo'etu bowed and said, "The emperor's blessings are equal to the sky, Wang Fuchen's demotion is equivalent to setting an example for those who hesitate to know whether to be close to Wu or to submit to the court, let's give Wang Fuchen a prominent official position , let him get a big benefit, those people will naturally know what to do when they see it."
Kangxi smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
Mingzhu said again, "Your Majesty, we received the Gansu battle report early this morning. Wei Dutong defeated the Gui army in the Gansu area and took several victories in a row, forcing the Gui army back to Yangping Pass. Now Wei Dutong has led his troops to stop at Yangping Pass. Yangping Pass, we only need to wait for the army of King Shuncheng from the east to arrive, and then go forward together.”
"Oh, Xiaoguizi's movements are so fast?" Kangxi was even more delighted.
Mingzhu said, "That's right. Wei Dutong has reported successes frequently since he set off on the expedition. It's really amazing. It just echoes the ancient saying that heroes come out of youth."
Suo'etu said, "It's because His Majesty has the keen eyesight to recognize talents that Wei Dutong can have this opportunity to show his talents."
Tu Hai and Mo Luo on the side saw that these two flatterers were so good at it, and they should not be too far behind, so they said together, "The emperor is a rare and wise king in ancient and modern times, so it is natural for a talent like Wei Dutong will be buried."
Mingzhu presented another letter sealed with sealant, "Wei Dutong's secret performance was delivered with the battle report, please the emperor personally open it."
Every time Wei Xiaobao would send back such a secret report with the battle report, the first time Kangxi saw it, he immediately knocked over the teacup in hand.
I reached out to take it, took it apart, and looked at it, and it was indeed similar to the previous "Mizuo", with similar content, it read:
Time passed by moment by moment, and you were far away from me moment by moment. My dear majesty, you are the one who will always be in my heart. You are not around, the feeling of loneliness surrounds me, thinking of you makes me sleepy for a long time, I beg you, let me sleep, let me dream that you are by my side... what a dream it will be Ah, it's a pity that there is always a time to wake up...
The corner of Kangxi's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that this kid risked his life to go into battle to retreat from the enemy. His loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is unquestionable, but his actions were too nonsense, and the emergency report of the battle situation was used for such a thing. People have nothing to say.
Covering his mouth with his hand, he coughed lightly, and said to Mingzhu, "What did you say just now? You continued to say that there is nothing important about Wei Dutong's secret performance."
Mingzhu and others have long been extremely puzzled by the secret report that Wei Xiaobao would send back every time. They wondered how many secrets he had to report to Kangxi during the war, but Kangxi would keep his secret report in prison every time. Hold it in your hand, and when you leave, you have to take it away yourself. You are very envious, Jun Dao Wei Dutong is very good at figuring out what you want, and the emperor values everything that is played in secret.
All of them feel ashamed, if they were to change places, it would be almost impossible for them to come up with so many things after leaving Beijing and all of them should be valued by the emperor.
Kangxi Mingzhu went on to say that she continued to watch Wei Xiaobao's secret performance, and suddenly saw that it said... I am sick, and I am not used to the dry and cold weather here. I miss you even more at this time, you are so cruel, you don't reply me a word...
Kangxi's first reaction was, fuck you, you have the nerve to bark!I really wrote it to you, can you understand?You have the guts to let the staff who accompanied the army write these nasty words for you, and then quietly put them into the secret music for me and send them to the capital, but I really dare not do such a reckless thing.
Then my heart tightened, this kid was always alive and kicking, and he even got sick sometimes.
After Mingzhu finished speaking, he said, "Okay, let's draw up the order according to this idea." Then he said, "Since Wei Dutong's team has temporarily stopped at Yangping Pass, order him to let the deputy general take over the post temporarily, and go back to the capital for a while. Come on, I've been away from home for so long, let him come back and have a look, I have something else to tell him."
Mingzhu led the order and joked, "Your Majesty is really sympathetic. I heard that during Wei Dutong's departure, the wives in his mansion gave birth to two boys and one girl. The child is almost one year old now. He has not yet I've seen it before, Wei Dutong must be grateful for the grace of God after receiving His Majesty's will."
"Two boys and one girl? Three children?" Kangxi frowned, "He..." I wondered if he had told me that he was not interested in women a long time ago. What's going on?
Mingzhu failed to understand His Majesty's holy will, and was still laughing, "It's interesting to say, the three children of Wei Dutong are all about the same age, and their birthdays are within a few days' difference. I don't know what he did."
As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the people also laughed, what else could they do secretly, Wei Dutong must have taken a fancy to three women at the same time during that time, go to this room to rest today, and tomorrow to that room to rest, He was impartial to everyone, and as a result, he had three children at the same time.
Kangxi hummed, displeased for no reason in his heart, but he still said patiently, "Send an imperial physician to accompany the messenger. Wei Dutong is said to be in poor health."
Mingzhu was busy with affairs, and after dealing with the emperor in the palace, she had to go back to the office of the Ministry of War to deal with the affairs of the headquarters.
It happened that the eldest son went to his uncle's house to celebrate his birthday, and he had just returned home.These relatives of Mrs. Mingzhu's family are all very prominent. Although they have declined, the remaining few still have the status of the family. They are very particular about their daily dealings and cannot be sloppy. No matter how busy Mingzhu is, she can't lose Out of etiquette, he called his son to the study to inquire about the situation.
The relationship between Mingzhu and his son has always been harmonious. Nalan Chengde knows that his father has worked hard, so he doesn't talk too much. He only picks the most important ones. Both his aunt and uncle are in good health and spirit. He said a few lines of poems to him, and spoke a bit late, and did not let him go until the banquet was over. He really praised him a few lines, and he seemed to like it very much.
After hearing this, Mingzhu laughed, "That's right, your uncle is notoriously strict and picky, and he treats you differently, which shows that my son is not bad either, he advances and retreats well, and has a brilliant literary talent."
Nalan Chengde was surprised, "Ama, what are you talking about? No matter how you call me, I'm not bad. Who are you comparing me with?"
Mingzhu smiled and shook her head, "I'm talking about Wei Dutong, he is a few years younger than you. Today, the Ministry of War received the report that he won a battle in Gansu, and several ministers who were in front of the emperor all praised him. The young man is amazing, and the emperor also said that he is a lucky general."
Nalan Chengde laughed, "How can this be compared? Wei Dutong is a popular person around the emperor, and he himself is capable. He is already a first-rank high-ranking official, and a second-class loyal and brave man. He has been promoted so quickly. I am afraid that few people in this dynasty can do it." Comparable. It’s not that the boy belittles himself, if he wants to compare with him, he’s asking for trouble.”
Mingzhu sighed, "That's really the case. Among other things, the emperor's preference for him is beyond comparison. Today I heard that Wei Dutong will be shut down in Yangping for a period of time. Immediately ask him to take advantage of this time to call him back to Beijing to take a rest, and take a look at his home. It is common for generals sent out to fight for several years not to return home, and I have never seen anyone who has received this kind of preferential treatment." He clicked his tongue repeatedly, expressing his admiration endlessly.
Nalan Chengde and his father had different considerations. Mingzhu was admiring the point of being "a celebrity in front of the emperor", but what he thought of was that Wei Dutong was about to return to Beijing.
He pondered, "Will Wei Dutong come back? That would be great. I will visit him when I think of it. Last time he invited me and brother Li Qin to visit the mansion, but he was called by the emperor, and two The lord chatted together, I think they were mostly joking with Wei Dutong, the emperor and the lord just laughed, but Brother Li Qin and I were inconvenient to be so rude, and it was hard to say anything at the time, I thought I would take the initiative to go to his house later See you, who would have thought that he would leave Beijing to go to war right after him. To be honest, I admire Wei Dutong a little. Simple and moving, I have never seen anyone write poems like that. And they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and dare to lead the army when the country is in danger, which few people can do.”
Mingzhu Lianxu, "You think so? It also makes sense. With Wei Dutong's official title, there is no need to go to battle to take this risk. He has no experience in fighting. If he doesn't want to go to the emperor, he will never force him. So the emperor It is the young man who is wise, with eyes like torches, not to mention those who are promoted with one hand, there is no problem in being loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
