After Yuzhu entered the palace, sure enough, Nian Gengyao was standing next to Kangxi.
Nian Gengyao and Yuzhu were both young officials promoted and important by Kangxi in his later years.
The governor of Sichuan was of the second rank, and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War was also of the second rank.
Nian Gengyao is eleven years older than Yuzhu, and has no title yet, while Yuzhu is already the auxiliary Duke in the clan title.
Who is more important, no need to say more, let’s judge!
"Your Majesty Yuzhu, I sincerely wish you the holy greetings of Khan Ama." When outsiders were around, Yuzhu always knew how to be polite, and he performed the ceremony meticulously.
"Get up."
"Shay Khan Amma."
After Yuzhu stood up straight, he looked at the old emperor's face calmly. Well, it was indeed ugly.
"Liang Gong, please tell Yuzhu." The old emperor called Yuzhu, obviously for military matters.
"The Mongolian Red Hui Banner rebelled, and the five villages in the northern border of Hami were occupied by the Junggars..."
Mongolia's red Hui flag is today's Hami.
In order to protect the western border of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi specially issued an order to build five military fortresses near Hami, collectively known as the Five Forts in the North of Hami.
Among them, the largest fortress was later expanded into Zhenyuan City.
In short, after the five villages in the northern border of Hami were lost, Longkodo led his troops to snatch them back.
This is not a big problem.
According to the rules of keeping one's territory and having responsibilities, as long as Lanzhou Prefecture or Xi'an Prefecture is not lost, even if Longkodo, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, is responsible, it will not be very big.
The problem is that Longkodo did not report the loss of the five villages in the northern border of Hami to Kangxi.
After listening to Nian Gengyao's story, Yuzhu's first reaction was that Nian Gengyao was jealous.
Historically, from the time when Nian became the fourth son of the Fu Jin Dynasty until Nian Gengyao was demoted to the rank of General of Hangzhou, the fourth son always favored and favored Nian Gengyao.
With the great wisdom of Laosi, it is definitely impossible to instruct Nian Gengyao to attack Longkodo.
You know, father and son are connected, and attacking Longkodo is equivalent to attacking Yuzhu.
Having offended both father and son at once, the fourth child would definitely not be able to do such a stupid thing.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that what made Kangxi angry was not that he lost his territory, but that Long Keduo deliberately concealed himself for fear of being punished.
Only a fool can answer all questions.
"Brother Liang Gong, as the governor of Sichuan, how come you know so much about the situation in Gansu?" Yuzhu started directly from the scope of authority and questioned Nian Gengyao's intentions.
"It was said by the caravan coming to Chengdu from Hami." Nian Gengyao was not that stupid. The governor of Sichuan went to Gansu, which is called fishing across the border.
However, since the old emperor asked, Nian Gengyao did not dare not to tell the truth.
Between the old emperor and the Tong family father and son, Nian Gengyao would definitely choose the old emperor.
Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it. The old emperor borrowed Nian Gengyao's advice and deliberately found fault with Long Keduo, and also beat his son.
Well, if the old man stops making trouble, the old emperor will knock on the jade pillar, and the jade pillar has been waiting for a long time.
"My Majesty, my Majesty, my Majesty is indeed out of her mind. She dares to conceal such a big thing and not report it. If she is not severely punished, she may not be able to convince the public."
Yuzhu's attitude is extremely correct. Longko has made many mistakes and should be punished.
However, Yuzhu did not defend Longkodo at all, which surprised Kangxi greatly.
"Longkodo lost Hami and led his troops to recapture it, which finally made some repairs. However, it is not appropriate for Longkodo to continue to serve as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi." Kangxi raised his eyes and looked at Nian Gengyao.
Yuzhu understood Kangxi's thoughts almost in an instant, Long Keduo came down, Nian Gengyao came up.
Sure enough, Kangxi then said: "Liang Gong, if I can trust you, let you be the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and guard the western border for me, right?"
Nian Gengyao was also very familiar with Kangxi's temper. The old emperor's words seemed like questions, but in fact, he had already made a decision.
"I accept the order to thank you." Nian Gengyao knelt down happily.
"You little bastard, your Ama is too courageous. You dare to hide such important military information and not report it. You must punish him." Kangxi may be worried that Yuzhu would feel uncomfortable, so he explained specifically.
What doesn’t Yuzhu understand?
Even if Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen are at peace, won't the Tong family's power also be weakened?
"Khan Ama, I also think that I should be severely punished." The old emperor wanted to kill Longkodo, and Yuzhu had to find a suitable reason for him. This is the huge magic power of imperial power.
Why does everyone want to sit on that chair?
In the whole world, anyone's fate can be decided by the person sitting on the dragon's throne. This is truly the ultimate pleasure!
When the old emperor saw Yuzhu's obedient appearance, he became somewhat soft-hearted.
"Then let Longkoduo become the general of Jingzhou." The old emperor raised his noble hand and did not hammer too hard.
The general of Jingzhou was a first-class official with a very high status, but his real power was many times smaller than that of the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
The hammer was not heavy, so Yuzhu knew in his mind that the old emperor still wanted to prevent the Ba Ye Party from coming back and leave some room for the old Tong family.
However, in essence, Yuzhu's two armies are still garrison generals, and the old Tong family also has several governors.
The most important thing is that as long as the jade pillar does not fall, there is always room for maneuver.
Generally speaking, the old emperor still favored the old Tong family. Even though Longko lost his territory, he didn't do anything to him.
The old emperor left the palace immediately without releasing Yuzhu, forced him to play three games of chess, and talked a lot of gossip before he made him kneel down.
I play chess almost every day, but today it has a particularly different meaning.
After Longkodo was punished, Yuzhu still played with the old emperor for an hour. Only official idiots don't know what this means.
Soon, the news of Longkodo's punishment spread.
The emperor's cousin was unlucky, and there were still a lot of people who were gloating about his misfortune.
However, Lao Si felt very uncomfortable and said angrily: "Nian Lianggong, what on earth does he want to do?"
Lao Shisan sighed and said: "If Long Keduo can't go on, how can Nian Gengyao have the chance to take over as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi?"
Of course Lao Si knew Nian Gengyao's little thoughts, but as we all know, Nian Gengyao was his disciple.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nian Gengyao took advantage of the situation, and it is difficult not to think that Yuzhu and his son were instigated by the fourth child.
The purpose, of course, is to gain the greatest military power in the northwest!
"No, Thirteenth Brother, you have to go to Yuzhu and explain it clearly. The sooner the better, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Lao Si immediately thought of Lao Thirteen, who was friends with Yuzhu.
Lao Shisan thought for a while and realized that he really could only take action in this matter himself.
Kangxi granted him the title of prince twice, but Lao Shisan didn't get a single feather from the bird.
Even Yuzhu, a relative with a foreign surname, has become the auxiliary Duke of the clan, while Lao Shisan is still an empty-headed brother.
From this it can be seen that the old emperor was indeed tired of Old Thirteen.
When Lao Shisan's banquet appointment post was handed to Yuzhu, Yuzhu was chatting with Zhou Quan.
"Dong Weng, it's not a bad thing that the boss has been punished. The military power our family has is really too great. The longer it is delayed, the harder the emperor will punish him. It is better sooner than later." Zhou Quan shook his folding fan.
, expressed his true opinion, "Jingzhou is located in the Central Plains and adjacent to the Yangtze River. If troops are to be mobilized in western Sichuan, the Eight Banners troops from Jingzhou must be mobilized."
Yuzhu nodded. Zhou Quan's statement was surprisingly consistent with the scene of the first snowy battle in history.
However, in that battle, the Eight Banners soldiers in Jingzhou were completely wiped out on the snowy plateau.
Now that Longkodo has become the new Jingzhou general, and the first snowy war is approaching, Yuzhu feels it is necessary to write to Longkodo to remind him properly.
At this time, Wu Jiang came in with Lao Shisan's post. Zhou Quan took it and looked at it, then said with a smile: "I'm afraid the Fourth Master is afraid that you will misunderstand, so he specially ordered the Thirteenth Master to explain it to you, right?"
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "Nian Gengyao has always been unruly. This time, he was too impatient."
To be honest, although Longkodo is quite favored by the saints and has the ability to lead troops to fight, it is worrying.
The battle between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar for the Snowy Territory, from Qinghai to the Snowy Territory, has always been the main battlefield.
However, due to Kangxi's carelessness, he attacked from two fronts, Sichuan and Qinghai. As a result, due to lack of concentration of troops, both sides were completely wiped out.
In the first battle, more than 9,000 people were lost, including more than 4,000 Eight Banners soldiers. This was a huge loss that had never been seen since the San Francisco Revolution.
Fortunately, after Kangxi woke up, he did not act recklessly. Instead, he sent the Fourteenth Old Man as the General King, concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops on the Mongolian side of Qinghai, fought all the way into the snowy region, and drove away the Junggar people.
No matter how backward and cruel the Tatar Qing regime was, Yuzhu must admit that Kangxi took back the snowy area from the Junggar people in time.
It is true that the merit lies in the present time and the benefit lies in the future.
Just imagine, if Kangxi did not want to waste people and money, and spent his troops on expeditions, so that the snowy areas were cut out, would there be any strategic depth in the entire western rear area?
The battles of the Qing Dynasty to unify the Snowy Region, the battles to conquer the Quanbu, and the battles of Duke Zuo Wenxiang to regain Xinjiang were all national policies of great benevolence!
"Dong Weng, from what I can tell you, if the old man suddenly falls ill in bed before the imperial court deploys troops, something can be done."
Zhou Quan didn't know the disastrous ending of the first snowy battle, but he knew that Long Keduo was very good at fishing for favors, but his ability in fighting was hard to say.
Yuzhu nodded heavily and said with a big smile: "I have bamboo trees to help me, so great things can be expected."
Zhou Quan gently shook his folding fan and smiled without saying a word. He only wanted to be Yuzhu's Zhang Zifang, not Han Huaiyin.
"Dong Weng, my disciples think that the invitation from the Thirteenth Master might as well be delayed before accepting the invitation. Please note that things will go well if things are delayed."
Zhou Quan's suggestion suited Yu Zhu's wishes.
Yuzhu immediately called Wu Jiang and ordered him to go out and tell Lao Shisan's butler that he was not available for the time being and would talk about it later.
It is only human nature to let the thirteenth child dry out and make the fourth child anxious and angry.
Help Lao Si firmly remember that Nian Gengyao's unruly attitude will be of great benefit to Yuzhu's future events!
"Fourth brother, Yuzhu is really angry. This will cause trouble." Old Thirteen knew clearly that Old Four doted on Nian Gengyao, but he still couldn't help it.
Zhu and his son will have endless troubles."
The fourth child frowned and stared coldly at the ground without saying a word.
