Chapter 210 Empress Dowager Ci’an 10
Chapter 210 Empress Dowager Ci’an 10
Civil strife, powerful enemies.
"What have you been doing these days?"
"did much."
"There are also good things in the mountains thirty miles outside Beijing."
"Oh??"
"Want to go and have a look??"
Gu Nian blinked and asked Kangxi.
The eyes said it all: thinking.
Gu Nian: "But my health doesn't allow it right now."
Gu Nian is still sick and can't get out.
Gu Nian said in a pretentious manner, deliberately teasing Kangxi.
This feeling was really strange to Kangxi.
Facing Gu Nian's bright starry eyes, Kangxi felt a strange feeling in his heart.
This feeling has never been experienced before.
His eyes fell down on the chessboard.
Kangxi: "Then how can you get better?"
Gu Nian: "I have conditions."
Kangxi: "What conditions?"
Gu Nian: "I want to eat candied haws and stuffed peach blossoms, but maybe they are not available now."
Kangxi: "If you want to eat, let the imperial kitchen cook it."
Gu Nian: "But the imperial dining room seems to be insincere."
Kangxi: "You don't want me to do it, do you?"
Kangxi asked in surprise.
Gu Nian: "You know how?"
Kangxi: "No."
Gu Nian: "That's alright. I'm just saying that although there is nothing in the palace, there are many things outside the palace."
Gu Nian glanced at Kangxi's indestructible hand.
Shake his head.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat what you cook."
"Although you and I are back together now, I am the real emperor after all. From now on, I will still have to make the final decision on all matters big and small."
"Besides, you don't understand many things, but technically I am invincible."
Kangxi's hand holding the chess piece paused, and he couldn't put it down.
Kangxi: This is the first time someone says they don’t understand.
Gu Nian: "Maybe we will switch here sometime. So, you are not allowed to have any relationship with other women. This is for the covenant between you and me. If you are interested in other women at that time, I’m tempted, but I can’t pretend it after I change it back.”
"In this life you can only live a pure life."
"how??"
Kangxi: "I think what you said makes sense. I will still look forward to my concubine in the future..."
Gu Nian: "My real name is Gu Nian."
Kangxi: "Don't worry, Miss Gu, I will definitely abide by the agreement."
Gu Nian nodded with satisfaction.
His hand reached for the pastry on the side.
Kangxi also stretched out his hand.
Just met each other.
It's such a coincidence.
As his hands touched, a strange feeling spread throughout his body from his fingertips.
Gu Nian was very casual.
Then he picked up the pastries and ate them.
Kangxi's eyes followed Gu Nian's movements and watched her eat the cake.
Pink lips, eating cakes.
It used to look like me, but now it's someone else.
This body is still very familiar.
I even touched my lips.
Lips after touching.
Suddenly there was an inexplicable dryness and throbbing in my body.
He picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Gu Nian after he finished eating.
When it was handed to him, it was from Kangxi.
Gu Nian looked at Kangxi unexpectedly: "What are you doing?"
Kangxi: "Smooth."
Gu Nian: How can I come from the opposite side easily?
Kangxi: "My arms are longer."
Gu Nian: "..."
Gu Nian: There is no way to chat.
Gu Nian was not prepared to show mercy.
He wanted to overwhelm Kangxi in chess.
Gu Nian made a quick move, not giving Kangxi any time to think.
"you lose."
"I'm sorry, please give me permission."
"Your Majesty, I broke a plum blossom in the imperial garden. Can I come in?"
!!!
Gu Nian quickly stood up and lay down on the bed.
All in one go.
"Come in."
Su Maner walked in with a vase of plum blossoms. The vase she placed was a light ink and blue vase.
"Your Majesty, the plum blossoms are blooming beautifully this year. I heard that there are dark plum blossoms, but it's a pity that I haven't seen them before."
"My dearest lady, where would you like to put these plum blossoms?"
"Put it on the bedside."
"Mother, the slave is here."
"Well, let it go."
"Your Majesty, this slave has to leave first."
"It's getting late, Madam. Do you want to lock it up?"
Subconsciously, I wonder if Kangxi is resting here today.
Gu Nian lay in the house for seven days in order to make his body sicker.
As soon as the seven days passed, I couldn't wait to go out.
"Mother, where are we going?"
"Royal study room."
When they arrived at the door, the eunuchs let Gu Nian in directly.
It turned out that Kangxi had ordered that if Gu Nian came, just go in directly.
Kangxi wrote vigorously and quickly.
"I just guessed it would be like this when I came in."
Gu Nian walked in with a smile.
He sat down without thinking.
"It's been a hard life these days."
"So, together."
Kangxi pushed the memorial that he had not corrected in front of Gu Nian.
Gu Nian has learned from others before, and now he has to blame it on himself.
Kangxi: "Just in time, you are here and I have something important to discuss with you."
Kangxi: "The civil strife continues, and I think it's time to resolve it."
An urgent memorial was taken out of the drawer.
Gu Nian opened it and saw that two towns had been captured in succession, and Yang Yan was about to attack the capital.
It was already unsafe because of the heavy smoke, and now people are even more panic-stricken.
Gu Nian's smiling eyes also turned cold: "I wanted to let it go first, after all, they are just a bunch of rabble. Now it seems that they are able to develop at such a fast speed because there are people behind it. Where did they come from? Advanced weapons?”
"The methods of these people really haven't changed in eight hundred years."
Kangxi: "What is your plan?"
Gu Nian: "I originally wanted to deal with them with minimal loss. Whose life is not important?"
Gu Nian: "The time is almost up. I will take you to a good place in five days."
Gu Nian: "We have to go to a place first tonight."
.............
Zongren Mansion,,
You can only go in but not out. Once you come in here, you will have to shed a layer of skin even if you don't die.
Lan Guiren has been locked up here for some time.
After being called in, he put on prison uniform.
There is a sound of dripping water in humid places, which is even more permeable in the already quiet environment.
The mouse crawled around casually, seeming more comfortable than humans.
How can Lan Guiren endure this? He has been tortured by this environment since he came in. The tear stains on his face are very obvious. He hasn't washed his face in a few days, and the tear stains have been washed away by tears.
Everywhere else is gray.
After a few days, Lan Guiren couldn't even cry anymore.
The whole person huddled in the corner.
Listen to the keys clinking against each other.
Lan Guiren reacted, but his reaction was dull.
He looked over slightly and saw a hint of yellow.
Looking up.
It's the emperor.
Is the emperor here to let me out? ?
"emperor,,"
When he saw Gu Nian beside Kangxi, the smile on his face disappeared.
Then he realized that he was asking for his own life.
He shrank back again.
"let's start."
Kangxi's three careless words floated out gently.
To Lan Guiren's ears, it was like a reminder of life.
The cell door was opened.
Lan Guiren finally reacted.
"What are you doing? What are you going to do??"
"Your Majesty, I really did not recommend my concubine to you."
"emperor,,"
Lan Guiren was dragged out of the cell by two guards. He had no ability to resist and was just taken out.
Ling Chi executed him, cutting off the flesh one by one.
Divided into categories: twenty-four knives, thirty-six knives, seventy-two knives and one hundred and twenty knives.
The cut meat should be placed on the table piece by piece. After the execution, there should be no more than one piece of meat and no less.
"Your Majesty, the scene is too bloody. Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please move away."
"I'm just watching from here, it's okay."
Kangxi: "Are you sure??"
Kangxi turned to look at Gu Nian beside him. The environment was already so gloomy. Are you sure you want to stay here? ?
Even the emperor himself has never seen such a scene.
Gu Nian: "Of course, I feel at ease after seeing it with my own eyes."
Gu Nian's words are full of profound meaning.
This is really the only way to feel at ease.
Otherwise, this would have happened to me.
Lan Guiren's mouth was gagged and he couldn't make any sound.
Feel your own death first hand.
Gu Nian didn't even frown, just watched quietly.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and it felt like I was in a sea of blood.
Kangxi couldn't help but frown.
But Gu Nian beside him ignored him. As an emperor, how could he be inferior to Yue, a woman.
Endure.
Hold on for dear life.
After leaving the clan mansion and on the carriage, Kangxi couldn't help but vomited out.
After vomiting, Kangxi couldn't help but lower his head. He was so embarrassed that he could no longer raise his head.
Gu Nian: "Just wipe it."
He handed over the handkerchief, which had a different smell.
This smell is very special, unique to Gu Nian.
I had never smelled it when I was a concubine, but now that my identity has changed, I can smell it.
Kangxi suddenly felt excited.
He looked at the handkerchief with hot eyes.
Just a little bit of joy in my heart.
"Thank you."
There are also several blooming plum blossoms embroidered on the veil.
Gu Nian: "The night is nice now, let's walk back."
Kangxi: "Okay."
When looking up, the crescent moon curves.
Kangxi had never passed by at night like this.
Accompanied by the moonlight, we walked side by side along the long corridor.
"I have never walked under such moonlight."
"Then you are so pitiful. No one has ever walked in this imperial garden with you."
Kangxi: Poor? ? How can I, the majestic king of a country, be so pitiful?
"But now that we are shopping together, you are not so pitiful. You have to thank me properly."
Joy in heart.
Gu Nian's words made Kangxi very happy.
Looking at the beauty beside him, he couldn't help but smile.
Walking to the gravel road, Kangxi raised his wrist and motioned for Gu Nian to put his hand on his wrist.
"The road ahead is slippery, be careful."
Gu Nian: "I can't tell that you are so considerate."
Kangxi: "Learned it from you."
Gu Nian: "That means my teacher teaches well."
There was doting in Kangxi's eyes, a doting that he had never even noticed.
Kangxi had never experienced such a feeling.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this special experience that when she became a concubine, she was always cautious and could not help herself.
Kangxi: "The teaching is good??"
Kangxi: "But I still have something to ask you. You know me very well, but I don't know you very well. It doesn't seem fair."
Gu Nian: "What do you want to know?"
Kangxi: "What did you do before? How do you know how to govern a country?"
Gu Nian: "Because I was an emperor before. Don't you know that many countries have queens? I will be an emperor in the future."
When it comes to lying, there is no draft at all.
Gu Nian: "So I know a lot of things."
Kangxi: "Then what does the future look like?"
Gu Nian: "The world is unified, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, there is no war, and they live and work in peace and contentment."
The scene of Kangxi's prosperous age in his mind.
This kind of scenery is not exactly what the king of a country wants to see.
Kangxi: "You are amazing."
Gu Nian: "Thank you for the compliment."
"Snowing."
"Look it's snowing."
Gu Nian stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes, which were crystal clear.
Gu Nian, who was all smiles, smiled especially happily.
In an instant, there seemed to be fireworks blooming in Kangxi's mind.
He couldn't help but put his hand on Gu Nian's hand.
The snowflakes turned into water in their hands.
Kangxi: "A-Nian, I think our relationship can get closer."
Gu Nian withdrew his hand, and the snow water dried up in an instant.
The palms of my hands felt cool.
Look directly at Kangxi.
There was no time to close the friendship in his eyes.
Gu Nianxiao's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What is the closer relationship?"
Take a step forward.
He put his hand on Kangxi's heart.
Kangxi's heartbeat was clearly heard.
Jumping wildly.
Kangxi: "When I was the emperor, everyone followed me and pleased me. I didn't even understand why they were like this in the harem. Now I understand how difficult it is for women in this harem."
"But you are different from other women I have met before. You will not deliberately please me. Even as an emperor, you treat me as an equal."
"Reviving this life, it seems that the two of us are destined to be together."
"That's a good thing to say."
"But, there is a difference between being together and being together. Community of interests, cooperative relationship? Or do you still have me in your heart?"
Boom boom boom! ! !
Kangxi felt his heart beating like a drum for a moment.
"Of course it's because I have you in my heart."
Gu Nian: "Okay, then I promise you."
Kangxi: "A Nian, "You and I will spend our lives together in this life. "
Gu Nian: "Then I will accept it. If one day you betray me, then I will not let you have an easy time. I will dig out your heart and make it into wine."
Kangxi: "..."
Kangxi grabbed Gu Nian's soft, boneless hand and held it in his palm.
Pulling Gu Nian into his arms.
.............
Thirty miles from the outskirts of Beijing,
Behind the Royal Courtyard is a place where common people are confined.
Behind the courtyard is a mountain.
It's surrounded by a circle, and ordinary people won't be able to come here, so it's a great choice here.
Along the way, it was covered with snow.
The carriage moved on the ground, making the sound of squeaking snow.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived."
After getting off the carriage, a majestic small courtyard appeared.
As luxurious as a royal palace.
"Slave wait, I have met the emperor and the concubine."
The people here were all carefully selected by Gu Nian, and those who were guarding outside thought they were just here to have fun.
After entering Zhuangzi, there is a secret passage in the main hall that leads directly to the base behind.
It is equivalent to the research institute of later generations.
Today, Gu Nian brought Kangxi to see the newly developed firearms, artillery, and cannonballs on board.
“With them, there is no battle that cannot be won.”
Gu Nian handed a firearm to Kangxi.
Kangxi was surprised by how delicate and compact the gun was, and how light it was.
“Give it a try??”
"How to try?"
"follow me."
The target is still the same target, but a clay pot is placed in front of it.
Kangxi was a good archer, but the feeling of shooting an arrow was still different when the musket was in his hands.
It took a few rounds to get used to it.
Then he hit every target.
"The martial arts competition will be brought forward. By then, we can form an excellent musketeer team."
"Do you think it's majestic when paired with a horse?"
"prestige."
Just thinking about it makes me realize how majestic it is.
The martial arts election was brought forward so suddenly that many Eight Banners disciples did not react.
The Eight Banners disciples who originally wanted to improvise had no chance.
The emperor also specially ordered that all Eight Banners children must participate as long as they are sixteen or older.
The emperor selects them personally.
Be present every day.
This is not only embarrassing, it can be said to directly expose the scandal. If someone is not qualified, it will be difficult to find an official position in the future.
The martial arts selection took a full month.
Those who passed the military selection were directly incorporated into the military camp, and no one knew where they went.
Those who failed were sent to farm.
Really farming.
I thought the emperor was joking. It would be the best punishment to let these young men who don't distinguish between grains go farming.
March,
The weather is getting warmer.
The rebels in the south were in trouble again.
Not only Banjun, there are other things I asked about here.
Just when the surrounding ministers thought that the emperor would let go again.
A shocking news came out.
The emperor wants to lead the expedition in person.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done."
"You are a human being, how can you be in danger?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you and do my best for my brother."
"Your Majesty, please think again."
"Your Majesty, please think twice!!"
Each of the ministers had a look of fear on their faces, as if Kangxi had gone and would never come back.
Kangxi: I am still alive and well, but I have begun to mourn.
"Shut up."
"What are you doing? I'm not dead yet? Are you all here mourning me?"
"I am an emperor, why can't I lead the expedition myself? I can't go if others can go?"
"Or are you all scared?"
What a bad temper!
Kangxi was so angry that his teeth almost broke.
The moment he announced the news of his personal expedition, fear and fear flashed through the eyes of these ministers.
What are you thinking about?
A group of things that are not enterprising.
Even the Sixth Prince was scolded.
The Sixth Prince was different from others. He really felt that this matter was too dangerous. He was worried about Kangxi and did not want to put Kangxi in danger.
Kangxi was still angry: "Lao Liu."
"Brother Chen is here."
"After my imperial conquest, I will take care of the affairs in the court. I know that you are a very skilled person. I see that all the civil and military ministers in the court seem to have lost their blood. They may be old."
"I order you to change their temper. If you can't change their temper, go home and farm."
"Your Majesty, my brother is willing to go into battle with you to kill."
The Sixth Prince said with a determined expression.
"If you go into battle with me to kill the enemy, how will you train these officials who want to withdraw from the group?"
"Retreat."
Kangxi had a great attack.
After Kangxi left, the ministers still looked at each other in confusion. What happened to the emperor today?
But recently I discovered that the emperor is really grumpy, maybe because his son is gone?
The ministers guessed so.
.............
"I'm so angry. Do these ministers want me to leave and not come back? They started mourning before we even set off."
Kangxi said angrily.
His temper became more and more childish, and he came back to complain to Gu Nian.
"We suffered successive defeats in the previous battles, and it is human nature to have the intention of defeat before we even set off."
Gu Nian said slowly.
Comparing the two, Gu Nian's mood is really very stable.
"But this time we have a secret weapon, and we will definitely win. When the time comes, we will be careful to shock the whole world. If they want to covet my great country again, I am afraid they will have to think about it."
"I'm not afraid of using them this time."
"Drink some tea to cool down the fire."
"Report!!!"
"Eight hundred miles urgent."
"Come in!"
"Your Majesty, there are dozens of ships gathered at sea, watching the sea area with eager eyes."
"It was indeed premeditated."
"Send the message immediately and get ready to go."
"Yes."
Now that it was imminent, Kangxi could no longer sit still.
Gu Nian: "The sword has no eyes, be careful of getting hurt."
Kangxi: "Don't worry."
While getting ready, among the marching teams, there was a group of soldiers holding something wrapped in cloth, but it was not clear what was wrapped inside.
There are also carriages, but the black cloth is like a big square box.
Mysterious.
Even during breaks, no one else is allowed to come near except the person looking at the hands.
Kangxi's elite troops traveled at full speed from the capital, day and night.
The troops of Guangdong and Guangxi were assembled and prepared to take back the two rebel cities first.
Due to the disparity in weapons, Kangxi took back the city in just one night.
Quickly gathered at the mouth of the coast.
The enemy ships have been saying that they have entered the sea and wandered back and forth these days. Don't expect to take advantage of the war to capture them and land ashore.
There seemed to be people from all over the world on board, speaking different languages.
"fire."
I don't know who shouted.
Countless cannons fired at the approaching ships.
Throw out one after another.
This is all about range and skills.
The opponent's range was far lower than ours, and all their ships were destroyed before they even got close to the port.
When everyone seemed to be in a dream.
Surprising discovery: It’s over?
Is it over?
It seems like a dream.
It feels like I haven't had such a fun battle in a long time.
These two battles were enough to shock the whole world.
They secretly thought that they could rely on advanced weapons to complete the corruption in their hearts, but now they were beaten back severely, leaving no trace of their armor intact.
When the good news came back, the whole country celebrated... The news of Kangxi's return to Beijing had already spread.
Kangxi left the land of Guangdong and Guangxi and traveled to the canyon. Someone fired a cold gun in the dark...
