The fourth master's wish came true, and he immediately followed the others towards Qianqing Palace.
As soon as I entered Qianqing Palace, I felt the tense atmosphere. The prince and the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother had already arrived.
When the Fourth Master and his entourage came in, they happened to hear the eldest brother kneeling on the ground and clasping his fists and saying: "Emperor Ama, I am asking for a battle. The Zhungeer tribe has repeatedly invaded. Do you really think that the Qing Dynasty does not dare to destroy him?"
"We, the Qing Dynasty, have tolerated him in every possible way for the sake of the people. This time, we must not let go of this rebellious official and traitor."
The words were spoken in high spirits.
The prince looked at the eldest brother's back and frowned slightly. He actually answered before him. It was really unruly.
However, the prince then took a step forward, knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "I would like to reconsider this. Galdan has repeatedly attacked, and everyone can kill him."
The eldest brother looked at the prince strangely, but he didn't expect that he would reconsider his words.
The prince felt contempt when he saw his expression. Would he risk his country and the country just to compete with him?
Emperor Kangxi looked at the two of them without speaking, tapped his fingers on the bright yellow table and said, "Read it again and let them listen."
Then Li Dequan picked up the memorial and read it again.
The general meaning is that Mobei Mongolia was annexed by the Jungar tribe, and hundreds of thousands of Mobei Mongolians fled to Monan. Monan was the territory of the Qing Dynasty. In the name of pursuing the Mobei Mongols, the Jungar tribe launched a large-scale invasion Monan.
After Li Dequan finished speaking, Emperor Kangxi looked at the people below and said, "Fourth, please tell me."
After hearing this, the veins on Third Brother's forehead jumped again.
Again, even according to the ranking, Huang Ama should have asked him first, so it was really shameful for him to just skip it.
The Fourth Master also came forward, knelt down and clasped his fists, saying: "Back to Emperor Ama, I have also reconsidered. However, the Zhungeer tribe is deeply entangled and connected to Tsarist Russia. If our army wants to annihilate it in one fell swoop, we still need to think carefully."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest brother immediately said: "The fourth brother is too indecisive. I request you to organize the army to go out immediately. No matter what Galdan does, our army will definitely annihilate his Zhungeer tribe in one fell swoop."
"Gerdan, this rebellious minister and traitor, should he not be punished now, then when? Should he be allowed to bully the people on our border and challenge the prestige of our Qing Dynasty right now?" He spoke fiercely, directly targeting the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master frowned, disapproving of what the eldest brother said, for being too forward. He clasped his fists again and was about to speak. At this time, the prince jumped in front of him and said: "Brother's words are wrong. Naturally, I, the Qing Dynasty, cannot let this go." Waiting for the villain, but at this time, as my fourth brother said, we must carefully consider it, and the New Year is approaching. If we start a war now, the morale of the army will inevitably be unstable, and it is really not a good time to start a war during the New Year."
"Your Majesty, I have reconsidered that the Zhungeer tribe can no longer be regarded as a small tribe at this time, and they must not underestimate the enemy. I have defeated him once before, but I didn't expect that this person could come back from the ashes. It shows that his character is tenacious, and he rashly provokes him at this time. It's most likely a ruse." Sixth Brother said.
"I think otherwise. At this time, the Zhungeer tribe has just annexed Mobei and has not yet completely controlled it. Our army will certainly be able to catch him by surprise when we go on an expedition at this time." Ba Age said.
"Not to mention that the Mongolian tribes have always had strong faith in who they are. Even if the Zhungeer tribe does not control Mobei, it still has a strong fighting capacity. Moreover, among the hundreds of thousands of Mongolians in Mobei, there will really be no Zhunge. Are you from me?" asked the fifth elder brother.
For a while, the princes were quarreling with each other, which was very lively.
Emperor Kangxi had already known this in his mind, and he called his sons here today just to test them.
As he listened to everyone's words, there was no emotion on his face at all. He only tapped the table with his index finger.
After a while, seeing that they had stopped arguing, Emperor Kangxi said, "Let's all go back today. Tomorrow, everyone will draw up a note for me." Then he waved his hand,
All the elder brothers looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "My lord, please retire."
As soon as he left the Qianqing Palace, the prince patted the fourth master on the shoulder and said: "Fourth brother, we haven't had a drink for a long time. Today I will go to Yuqing Palace with my second brother so that we brothers can talk."
The fourth master looked at the warm smile on the prince's face. For some reason, he felt that it was not as warm as when he was young, and he wanted to refuse immediately.
The prince seemed to have understood what he meant, and there was a slight loneliness in his eyes.
Fourth Master frowned and nodded in agreement.
He just said in his heart, this is his second brother, it’s just a drink.
Five, six, nine, ten, twelve, thirteen and fourteen all followed the prince and fourth master. Among them, the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother came here specially. The younger ones were completely fooled. Fourth Master has practiced a lot, and he follows it out of habit.
"The prince is also partial. If he calls me Fourth Brother, we younger brothers will not care." Ninth Brother said from behind.
The prince looked back at the group of people, and then laughed and said: "Today we are all going to Yuqing Palace to be a host."
Then he looked at the eldest brother and eighth brother who were farther away: "Eldest brother and eighth brother, let's come together too."
The eldest brother immediately shook his head, then patted the eighth brother on the shoulder and left first.
The eighth prince immediately thanked him and then said he would not go.
The prince didn't force himself, so he took these younger brothers and left.
It's just that Brother Jiu is still very dissatisfied with his brother's unsociability and follows his expressions.
The eighth prince smiled slightly and looked at the backs of everyone leaving, feeling a little disappointed. If his mother-in-law wasn't still under Concubine Hui's nose, maybe...
Just when he was sad, the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother ran over and pulled him away forcefully. They said: "The eldest brother has something to do, and the eighth brother has nothing to do. It is not good to even refuse the prince's banquet. "
The eighth prince was a little embarrassed, but when he was pulled away by the two people, his face changed a little. He was a teenager after all, who would like to be alone.
Immediately afterwards, everyone went to Yuqing Palace together, and the guests and hosts had a great time during the banquet, but the prince always seemed to have something to say to the fourth master, but it was a pity that these young ones never had the chance.
At the end of the banquet, the prince sent the Fourth Master and his party out, patted the Fourth Master on the shoulder and said, "Let's drink some other time."
Fourth Master clasped his fists in response, and then walked away with everyone.
When I walked to the door, I happened to catch up with Bi'er coming in with a tea cup and met the fourth master, sixth elder brother and the others.
The Fourth Master stared at her, his phoenix eyes immediately filled with coldness. The Sixth Brother also looked at the Fourth Master with a bad expression on his face.
"Why does this girl of the prince look so familiar?" The fourteenth elder brother whispered together with the ninth elder brother who was walking behind.
Brother Jiu glanced at Bi'er's back again, and then turned his eyes and said: "No, Xiao Shisi, are you dazzled?"
