The people on horseback seemed to have heard his shouts, and the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer to them. After a while, several figures appeared in Yongxing's sight.
The person who came was none other than Yong Xun. Behind him were several Eight Banners disciples. After seeing clearly that it was Yong Xun, Yong Xun's expression immediately changed. He hurriedly dismounted his horse and ran over and said: "The twelfth brother and...
...Brother Eleven, you...what happened to you?"
Yongxun's appearance made Yongxun overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Fourth brother, please stop asking questions now. Take Brother Eleven back quickly. He is seriously injured."
Yongxun also saw that this was not the time to talk about this, so he immediately took Yongxuan, who was already in a coma, from his back and said: "I will take the eleventh brother back right now, and you come back with them." He said.
The "them" refers to those Eight Banners disciples.
Yongxun urged eagerly: "I understand, you go quickly, quickly!"
Under Yong Cang's repeated urging, Yong Xun carried Yong Xuan onto the horse he was riding on, and quickly ran to where Hongli and the others were. As for Yong Cang, he got on the horses of the Eight Banners disciples and chased after him quickly.
And go.
At this time, it was still a long time before the sun set. Hongli didn't know what happened to Yongzhen and the others, let alone that his son was in danger. He took Xianyue's hand and walked on the grassland, smiling.
He said: "How about, take a walk here, do you feel a little more comfortable?"
Xianyue chuckled and said: "If I say yes, does the emperor plan to bring my concubine here every year during hunting?"
Hongli tightened the catkins in his hand and said warmly: "As long as you like it, there's nothing wrong with it."
Xianyue glanced at the bright sun and said: "Your Majesty, tell me, who will be the first place in Mulan Qiu'an this time? Fourth elder brother?"
Hongli thought about it and said: "Yongxun's archery skills are the most solid. He was the first in the past two years, but this year... it's hard to say. These days, Yongxun's archery skills have improved very quickly, and he is even more skilled."
When it comes to the skill of controlling arrows with the heart, and Yongxuan, I think he is also very confident this time, and there are also Agui and Zhaohui and their sons.
Son, I can only say that this time, there will be a fight between dragons and tigers, but I can’t say for a while who will win. However, for me, I naturally hope that Yong Cang can win."
, he said: "Okay, stop talking and walk with me for a while. I will have to go back in a few days."
Xianyue nodded, and after walking for a while, she said: "When I went to pay my respects to the emperor's mother last time, I heard from her that the emperor intends to tour the south again?"
Hongli nodded and said: "Yes, it has been almost seven or eight years since the last southern tour, and it is almost time to go and see it again. Jiangnan is rich in products and is known as the land of fish and rice. There are also many sea defense and river embankment projects.
It has always been the most important place in our Qing Dynasty."
Facing his words, Xianyue said softly: "There is something I don't know whether I should say or not?"
Hongli glanced at Xianyue in surprise, and then said: "You and I are the only ones here, as long as we say it, it doesn't matter."
"I understand that the purpose of His Majesty's southern tour is to inspect coastal defense, promote talents, and punish corrupt officials. However... each southern tour costs millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Not long after the cold disaster in Yancheng passed, the Emperor
By exempting them from taxes for a year, although the national treasury will not be empty, it does not have much money, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the expenses of the emperor's southern tour."
Hongli frowned and said, "According to your wishes, you don't want to tour the south?"
Xianyue said eloquently: "The southern tour is still necessary. It will help the emperor better govern the Qing Dynasty, but I am wondering if it can be postponed for another year or two."
Hongli said in a deep voice as he walked: "Actually, I am also thinking about this issue. I want to tour the south earlier, but I also feel that it will be a huge waste as you said, so I haven't made a decision yet. But..." His voice changed.
After a pause, after a while, Fang brought a
Si worriedly said: "Huang's mother's health is getting worse and worse. She has mentioned the Jiangnan area in front of me several times. I know that she really wants to go to Jiangnan again, so I want to take her there as soon as possible.
Let’s take a look, in the future… maybe there won’t be a chance.”
"I understand that the emperor is out of filial piety, but now..." Xianyue didn't know how to continue. It was really a dilemma for both sides. After a while, she finally said: "How about the emperor and the emperor's mother patrol south, I and you all
My sister won’t go, so we can save some money.”
Hongli sighed and said, "I'm afraid some people won't obey."
Xianyue smiled and said: "No, you sisters are still very reasonable. As long as you talk to them, I believe they will understand the emperor's difficulties."
Hongli shook his head and said: "Besides, even if we really have to tour the south, it will be at least next year. We will discuss it slowly. The most important thing right now is..."
Xianyue waited for a long time before Hongli continued, and asked curiously: "What is the most important thing?"
Hongli smiled and said: "Of course it is the Mulan Autumn Festival, otherwise what else could it be?"
Xianyue was about to speak when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in her ears. She followed the sound and saw Yongxun running towards her from a distance. She pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It seems that the fourth brother is the most anxious.
Son, I can’t wait to come back.”
Hongli was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and said, "No, Yongxun seems to have brought someone with him in front of me." While they were talking, Yongxun had already dismounted and helped someone from the horse.
He anxiously said something to the eunuchs who came up to him. After hearing this, the eunuchs suddenly showed signs of panic. Two of them were in a hurry, while the others worked together to carry the man into the tent.
Yongxuan glanced around, and after seeing Hongli and the others, he ran over quickly. When he got close, Hongli said first: "What happened?"
"I don't know. I just met the eleventh and twelfth brothers in the pine forest. I found that the eleventh brother was seriously injured. I have already asked the imperial doctor to treat him."
Hearing this, both Hongli and Xianyue were horrified, and the latter even more nervously said: "What about Yong Cang, is he injured?"
"The twelfth brother is fine. I asked others to bring the twelfth brother over. He should be here soon." Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of horse hooves again. It was the Eight Banners disciples who had arrived. Yong Cang stopped his horse.
, and immediately ran towards Yongxun. Before he arrived, he had already said eagerly: "Fourth brother, how is the eleventh brother's condition? What does the imperial doctor say?"
"I just asked someone to carry him down, and I also asked the doctor. He should be here soon. Don't worry too much." After hearing this, Yongxing breathed a sigh of relief, but his body was still tense.
, he could not truly relax for a moment without hearing the news that Yongxuan was safe and sound.
Hongli frowned and said, "Yongzhen, what happened?"
