Chapter 1,242: Expedition to the West next year, wedding on the Double Ninth Festival
In June, spies from the plateau reported that there was a conspiracy to plot rebellion.
At the suggestion of Su Mingzhe, the prince wrote a letter of recommendation to Kangxi who was still outside the Great Wall and asked Zhang Tingyu to go to the plateau to handle the matter.
Zhang Tingyu has been away for two months.
Now it's September, and he has found out the ins and outs of the matter and ran back.
After a while.
After Kangxi read the memorial, he asked the ministers to discuss how to deal with it.
A military general stood up at this time and directly requested the order:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to conquer Lhasang Khan!"
"I am also willing to go!"
When a group of generals saw someone taking the lead, they immediately ran out and scrambled to lead the troops.
Now it has been sixty years since the Qing Dynasty entered the capital, and the generals have also been replaced by two or three generations.
According to the Qing court's rule of "relegation to nobility", the princes and nobles of those days are basically in a state of decline now.
Nowadays, when a war finally breaks out, everyone naturally wants to take advantage of the fact that he still has the spirit of courage and courage to lead the troops to fight and restore the glory of his ancestors.
As for Kangxi, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, seeing that his military spirit was available, he let go of his worries a little, and then looked towards the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion:
"Bandi, what do you think?"
When Li Guangdi heard Kangxi's roll call, he quickly came out, bowed his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the disloyalty of Lhasang Khan in colluding with Jungar has become clear and must be punished. However, it is already September, and in another month, heavy snow will block roads in the northwest and plateau. So, even if Even if we want to send troops to conquer, we have to wait until next year!"
After listening to Li Guangdi's words, Kangxi didn't say anything.
After all, this kind of thing is obvious.
The answer Kangxi wanted was definitely not the two nonsense words of Li Guangdi.
Li Guangdi can become a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, so he is certainly not a fool. What he said just now is just a suggestion:
"If we have to wait until next year to conquer Lhasang Khan, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After all, the new Khan of the Zhungeer tribe has been hiding his power and biding his time for many years. Suddenly he colluded with Lhasang Khan. He must have thought that he had accumulated enough money. strength. Therefore, if we want to conquer, we must not only conquer Lhasang Khan, but also the Jungar tribe!"
"And if in the spring of next year, we have to conquer both Lhasang Khan and the Jungar tribe, we need to prepare and raise a large amount of food, grass, soldiers and horses..."
Following Li Guangdi, he raised questions one after another.
Kangxi asked everyone to participate in the discussion on what kind of regulations should be drawn up.
As the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Su Mingzhe occasionally spoke up and recommended one or two talents to the court, and then rejected several talents recommended by others.
Under the auspices of Kangxi, the discussions at the Great Court Meeting were very efficient.
By noon, next year's Western Expedition has been decided.
After returning to Zhenbeile Mansion, Su Mingzhe put the matter behind him.
After all, the preliminary preparation work is mainly a matter for the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.
The Double Ninth Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
The day when Su Mingzhe married Niu Gulushi Lanxin.
Because of the nickname "Cold-faced King", almost no one among the civil and military officials took the initiative to attend the wedding banquet.
However, those who received the invitation basically came.
After all, Su Mingzhe is in charge of the staff department now.
After the New Year, even if Beijing is planning to get a good evaluation and get a smooth "promotion and salary increase", these people don't dare to offend Su Mingzhe.
"Congratulations, fourth brother!"
The tenth elder brother Yin came with Yin Qi, Yin, Yin and Yin, but his face was a little sad.
More than twenty days have passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival wedding ceremony, and Yin is still unwilling to accept Mingyu, a fierce character, as his direct descendant.
However, it is hard to disobey the sacred command.
Yin knew that he could not escape, so he could only use the emotions on his face to
to express their dissatisfaction.
"Fifth brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, you should take more care of the tenth brother!"
"Fourteenth Brother, you and Thirteenth Brother will accompany me to the wedding later!"
Today is Su Mingzhe's big day, and he is in no mood to comfort Yin.
After receiving the male guests, Su Mingzhe asked the maid to take the female family members to the backyard.
Today, Su Mingzhe, who is marrying Xi Fujin, stands in the front yard, entertaining the male guests.
Rouze, the direct descendant of Fujin Ulanala, along with Nian Shilan and several concubines, were responsible for entertaining the female guests.
Although as Baylor's direct descendant Fujin, it was Rouze's responsibility to help the man marry Fujin.
However, seeing a young and beautiful "self" being welcomed into the door, I always felt a little uncomfortable.
However, he still had to work hard to entertain the guests, and Ulanara Rouze really made her pretty face freeze with laughter.
Ruoxi, who was sitting with her sister, watched the lively Kunqu Opera, turning her head and looking around from time to time. She was somewhat disappointed not to see the figure she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Not long after, Nian Shilan arranged for several female guests to sit at the same table as sisters Ruolan Ruoxi.
Ruolan also knew the other party, so she introduced him to her sister.
Ruoxi has a lively nature, and after chatting with the other party for a while, she became more and more enthusiastic.
The other party was also a talkative person, and soon he told Ruoxi many gossips and scandals about the aristocratic circles in the capital.
After listening for a while, Ruoxi couldn't help but secretly clicked her tongue:
"I didn't expect that this stinky old man, who has a direct descendant and a concubine, would actually take his sister-in-law as his concubine... He is such a beast who knows people and faces but doesn't know what they know! It's a waste that I looked up to him before!"
the other side.
After entertaining the male guests, Su Mingzhe, accompanied by Yin Xiang and Yin, went to Niu Hulu Lingzhu's house to welcome the bride.
Although Niu Gulu was one of the eight Manchu surnames, and Ling Zhu was Aling'a's cousin, Ling Zhu was only a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette, and his family background was naturally very ordinary.
Not only is the living place a bit remote, the yard is only a two-entry courtyard.
This time, Lingzhu was able to marry his daughter to Sibeile Yinzhen as Fujin, firstly because his surname was honored, and secondly because his daughter's appearance was 89% similar to Rouze's.
This can be regarded as the smoke rising from the ancestral graves.
Ling Zhu was an "honest man". He had already told his daughter early on that after arriving at the Zhenbeile Mansion, she must be careful in what she does and not to contradict her direct descendant Fujin, let alone have conflicts with other sisters in the hospital.
Lan Xin felt aggrieved and uncomfortable when she saw her father being so cautious, but there was nothing she could do about it.
After all, who made her look so similar to Sibeile's direct descendant Fujin?
Sibeile Yinzhen, as a prince, was born a nobleman and would never allow a woman to marry another man in the name of his direct descendant Fujin.
It's past half time.
The joyful wedding team finally arrived in front of Lingzhu's mansion, and everyone from the Niu Colu family hurried out of the mansion to greet them.
Because of the status of Prince Baylor, Su Mingzhe could not kneel down to Lingzhu and his wife, but could only bow to him.
Just finished the ceremony.
Su Mingzhe heard a heartbreaking cry coming from the backyard.
Not long after, I saw a bride wearing a phoenix crown and harem, with a piece of red cloth covering her head, being pulled and pulled into the sedan chair.
Because they were marrying Fu Jin, neither Kangxi nor Concubine De were allowed to enter the palace to express their gratitude.
After Su Mingzhe mounted his horse, accompanied by Yin Xiang and Yin, he turned around and returned home.
