"I was thinking about whether I should suggest to Emperor Ama to send the firearms battalion from Beijing to the border first. They have both guns and cannons. Their presence should be of great help to the war situation."
Ling Ruo tapped the table and said: "Your idea is good, but it is impossible for your emperor to not think of it, but he didn't do it. Why do you think it is?"
Hongli thought for a while and shook his head and said: "I can't think of the reason. After all, the border war is tense. If Yue Zhongqi is defeated, there will be big trouble."
Ling Ruo shook his head slightly and said: "The Firearms Battalion, like the Fengtai Camp and the Infantry Yamen, are all responsible for guarding the capital. If they go to the border, what should they do if something happens to the capital? After all, the capital is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
, once something happens in the capital, even if you defend other places, it will be useless. Furthermore, although the firearms camp is powerful, its number is small, only more than 7,000 people in total, making it difficult to deal with both sides."
Hongli was silent for a while and said: "I understand, but I am still worried about General Yue."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. I just hope he can hold on until the reinforcements arrive." Even so, Ling Ruo didn't have much confidence in his heart. After all, the opponent held a musket in his hand, and maybe even an artillery piece. "By the way."
,Is the shortage of silver in the household department very serious?"
Hongli said seriously: "Well, I have seen the booklet of the Household Department. Although I still have more than ten million in silver, if I continue at this rate, I am afraid that it will be all used up soon, and then it will be really difficult."
Already."
Ling Ruo didn't say much, but just asked a few more about the affairs of the court. Generally speaking, he was not very optimistic. After all, it was a two-front war now. Just like when Yinzhen first came to the throne, he was attacking in the northwest while
Jungar's invasion was just luckier at that time. At the most critical moment, Nian Gengyao pacified the army and joined forces with Yunxiang, and defeated Jungar in one fell swoop.
Ling Ruo sighed softly and said: "Zhun Geer is my innermost enemy of the Qing Dynasty. If there is injustice, peace will be uneasy." She had foreseen this battle several years ago, and Ge Erdan would not be willing to accept it.
He wanted to get more from a corner of the country, and wanted to lead Jungar's people out of that grassland.
Hongli also understood this truth, but he couldn't do anything. After being silent for a while, he said: "Mother, how is my aunt's side? Is it getting better?"
Ling Ruo shook his head sadly and said: "Mr. Xu tried his best, but he still couldn't cure Concubine Jin. As he said, madness is difficult to cure. She may be like this for the rest of her life."
Hongli's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "I heard that the emperor sent his sixth brother to the emperor's mother a few days ago?"
As things happened one after another, Yinzhen had less and less energy to take care of Hongzhan, and Nala often came to visit Hongzhan. Seeing that Hongzhan and Nala got along well, they simply sent him to Kunning Palace.
They lived there for a while, but there was no formal decree to hand him over to Nala to be raised by him. I guess Yinzhen was still hesitant.
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, just nodded. She didn't want Hongzhan to follow the Nala family, because it would definitely ruin Hongzhan's life. But she was out of favor with Yinzhen now. Even if she went to speak, she was afraid that Yinzhen would not listen.
Don't go in.
"My son wants to see my aunt." Faced with Hongli's request, Ling Ruo said nothing, but said: "Go back and rest early after the visit, don't be exhausted. I don't know how long these two wars will last.
If I fall down early, I won’t be able to help your Majesty.”
"My son will pay attention to it." After saying this, Hongli stood up and left, while Ling Ruo said to Shui Xiu: "Go and get all the silver notes from this palace."
Although Shui Xiu felt strange, she didn't ask any more questions. She took all the things as she was told. Ling Ruo looked at them one by one and said, "Take these things and follow me to the Hall of Nourishing Heart."
Shui Xiu was stunned for a moment. Ever since what happened to Sixth Brother, the master has never been to the Yangxin Hall. Why is he going to the Hall of Cultivation now? When he came to his senses, Ling Ruo had already walked out of the hall. She
He quickly picked up the things and followed him: "Master, what happened?"
Ling Ruo glanced at the autumn sun hanging in the sky and said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just doing what I need to do."
Let's talk about Hongli, who took little Zhengzi all the way to Xianfu Palace. Although Guarjia was crazy, Yinzhen took pity on her and did not drive her to the cold palace and let her stay in Xianfu Palace.
The expenses were also kept as expected for a concubine. In addition, Rong Yuan would come to the palace every three days to treat her. Although Yinzhen also knew that there was little hope, he still hoped to cure her.
Although every scene and thing in Xianfu Palace remains the same as before, for some reason, when I look at it, I always feel a bit decadent. Maybe it’s because of the change in my mood. In the past, when he came here, he was always happy and happy.
But now, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't feel a trace of happiness. Instead, he was surrounded by a touch of sadness, especially when he was watching
After meeting the crazy Guarjia family, I felt even more sad. I heard from E Niang that when she was still in the womb, Guarjia family used motherwort to protect her. Later, when she went to Fuzhou, she also sent her as a gift.
His jade pendant saved his life. Apart from Huang Ama and E Niang, she was the one who protected him the most, but now... she doesn't even recognize him.
Guarjia was eating cakes, grabbing them with both hands, and the food was all over her face. After she finished eating, Hongli took a clean soft towel to wipe away the residue from her mouth, and said softly: "Auntie, recently
There are a lot of things going on in the DPRK, so I can't come over to see you often, but I will definitely come whenever I can. If you take good care of yourself here, I believe you will get better."
Guarjia didn't speak, just looked at him and giggled. This look made Hongli sad, and he also hated the person who caused her to be like this. He squeezed the soft scarf in his hand tightly and said every word.
"Auntie, just watch, I will definitely avenge you and double the pain on those evil people."
He had already known the cause and effect of Concubine Jin from Ling Ruo. He also knew that although the Liu family was imprisoned in the Xinzheku, the queen was still alive and well. She even deceived Hongzhan with a series of lies, making Hongzhan think that she was the only one.
Is a good person.
It's really ridiculous. Good people are driven crazy, but nothing happens to evil people. God is so unfair. But it doesn't matter. Even if the queen can't be punished now, when he ascends to the throne of God in the future, he will get back his capital with interest.
Does not leak.
Whether it is for E Niang, Concubine Jin, or myself, the throne cannot be given to anyone, and must be firmly in hand.
No matter what Hongli said, Guarjia was still there with a silly smile. When Hongli was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed Hongli's hand tightly and said nervously: "Hongzhan, have you seen Hongzhan?"
Zhan, I haven’t seen him for a long time. Was he captured by bad guys? Ugh...he is so young, why should he be captured? Why?"
