Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 398 Chapter 410 Triumph Award
The weather is beautiful. It had snowed heavily for several days, but it stopped the day before the Guards triumphantly arrived in the capital. The warm winter sun shone on the snow on the roof, shining a few colorful lights. The blue sky There is not a trace of cloud, as if it has been completely washed.Since it was the end of the new year, and with the return of the guards, at the request of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, every household in the capital must decorate with lanterns and festoons, and the snow on the roads has been cleaned. After discussion, the people who greeted him were ordered to wear neat clothes, and even beggars and other refugees were driven out of the capital. Prestige, but Kangxi, who lived in the palace of the Forbidden City, didn't know how much filth was hidden under the scene of praise, wealth and prosperity.

Before approaching the capital, the guards also changed into clean military uniforms according to Yang Kang's instructions, and were even ordered to wash up and tidy up their military appearance thoroughly.Seeing Qi Jue's unwilling expression, Yang Kang covered Qi Jue's head with a damp and hot towel, and said with a teasing smile, "Okay, who will you show that look? If you don't get tanned, you won't be tanned, and no one underestimates you? However, you are strange enough. You were fine on the road. Why did your fair face change back when you arrived in the capital? Look at the guards who look like you? Those who don’t know may think that you are not at all Didn't go into Tibet."

Baotai next to him echoed, Qi Jue angrily took the towel off his head, and threw it on Baotai who was watching the joke. His face was indeed as white as when he was not out of Beijing. He gritted his teeth secretly, and his eyes showed unwillingness , Complaining "commander, I don't take you so gloating, and you, Prince Yu, this is my residence. I am following the command of the commander to tidy up the army, so I won't send you far away."

The smile in Baotai's eyes was even stronger. He seldom saw Qi Jue like this, so he looked him up and down with interest. Qi Jue was barebacked. , the rudimentary form of an adult man can already be seen, especially the fact that he has led soldiers to charge and kill him again, which makes him a bit more sturdy.Patting Yang Kang on the shoulder, he said with a light smile, "Yo, I really didn't see it, our Qi Jue is also quite tempered, tsk tsk, it seems that he has reached the age that should be married."

Under Baotai's scrutiny, Qi Jue's face showed a blush, his eyes were a little embarrassed, he blinked his eyes, and said softly, "Prince Yu already knew that Qi Jue was about to propose marriage, then the antique in your house, isn't it?" Will you reward me?"

"You're not greedy. I said, why do you go around those rare treasures as soon as you arrive at Prince Yu's mansion?" Yang Kang said with a smile, "You know? He bought a lot of good things from me, and Qi Jue also When it's time to get married, you, don't be stingy, so as not to make him think about it, let alone you are not an outsider."

"When you get married, you can't always have your elder sister. If your elder sister is short, you have to feel sorry for your wife. Prince Yong's mansion should be quieter." Qi Jue raised an eyebrow at Baotai, "Prince Yu's words are inappropriate, She is also my sister after being kissed, how can we be alienated?"

"It seems that Prince Yong's decision is not appropriate. Prince Yong's mansion is really lively, it really is" Yang Kang pulled Baotai and stopped talking, Baotai smiled and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be in front of me again." Poor, those antiques, you just go to the palace to get them after you return to Beijing."

"Thank you, Prince Yu." Qi Jue watched the two leave, and sighed secretly, "Sure enough, as Ama said, brother-in-law, you are really blessed, but since you are my brother-in-law, then don't think I'm bothering you. I don’t know what happened to that boy Hongli? Can Hong Zhou remember me? Will Hong Min become more sensible and calm? The last thing you should worry about is Hong Min, can he still suffer? "

"Will Qi Jue really marry Prince Kang's princess?" Baotai walked side by side with Yang Kang, and Yang Kang slightly frowned and said in a low voice, "The emperor will be cautious about his marriage. In fact, in the emperor's heart, he wants to marry the princess more, but after all It's Prince Yong Fujin, who intends to change relatives, not to mention that the princess mansion is very strict, the emperor should be reluctant to marry Zhiyuan Gong, and it would be better to marry the princess of the palace. In addition to the news of the fourth elder brother Nakang's mansion, it should be He let the emperor know."

"How could it have been as he wanted if he had lost some calculations?" Yang Kang retorted softly, "Baotai, don't mention this again. The princes are less thoughtful. Prince Yong is just a delicate mind. What the emperor thinks is the key point." Therefore, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, and you can win the title if you don't replace hereditary."

"I know that I have not forgotten the words of Ama's death order not to be against the fourth elder brother, but there is also a princess of the same age in Prince Yu's residence."

"You should also know in your heart that with the temperament of the fourth elder brother, Qi Jue will never let Qi Jue marry the princess of Prince Yu's mansion. Prince Yong will not let her get involved with us. I'm afraid it would be the same if it were you. People in the capital Can you see through her?" Yang Kang sighed, glanced in the direction of the capital, concealed the touch in his heart, and reappeared a firm look in his eyes, "When I return to Beijing tomorrow, I can't weaken the momentum of the guards. Well deserved honor, well deserved.”

The next day, Yang Kang led the guards back to the capital. Unlike the parting atmosphere when they left Beijing, the guards who returned triumphantly to Beijing this time showed pride and solemnity, which was a little incompatible with the lively welcome scene.The crown prince was abolished, so naturally the eldest son of the emperor, San Age, led the princes to welcome him at the gate of the city. Outside the gate were eight-colored dragon flags, red octagonal palace lanterns in hand, suona gongs and drums playing triumphant music, protecting the prince. The barracks separated the crowds of people in central Beijing.

Seeing the crowd from a distance, Yang Kang immediately raised his right hand, and everyone behind him reined in the reins, "Guards, dismount." Following Yang Kang's order, all the guards dismounted in unison with a swish sound. He took the reins of the horse and walked towards the princes.

"It really deserves to be the blade of Huang Ama, just look at this momentum is different from others." The third elder brother sighed softly, and then glanced at the guard barracks maintaining order, "Although I am not proficient in military affairs, I used to be a guard The guard camp is equally famous, ever since Zhiyuan Gong was promoted to be the minister of the guards, the guard camp is not as powerful as the guards, and Min Cheng is in a difficult situation."

A trace of unease flashed in the eighth elder brother's eyes, and he naturally understood what the third elder brother meant. He didn't want to come here, but Kangxi ordered that all the princes must come out of the city to welcome them, even the thirteenth elder brother who had always kept the gates of the house closed.Brother Jiu sneered and said, "Third brother's words are not appropriate. The guards are the sharp blades in Huang Ama's hands, and the guard barracks are the shields to protect them. How can anyone say that they are better than anyone else? Commander Min Cheng is also an ambitious man." Yes, if not, Huang Ama would not have handed over the guard camp to him, and the third brother would not think that Huang Ama is not wise."

The third elder brother was stunned, his face was not very good-looking, he had known that Min Cheng had some friendship with the ninth elder brother, so he just mentioned it, "The third elder brother just saw the heroic force of the guards, and he respected him in his heart. The shield is sharp." Yinzhen interjected from the side, and the third elder brother nodded again and again, "I still like the fourth brother."

Yinzhen twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced around, paused for a moment on the ordinary carriage in the distance, a smile flashed in his eyes, as if he could see the excited expression of Hongli Hongzhou in the carriage, and she would be very happy. Be proud, originally they could enter the palace, but Yinzhen really didn't want Qi Luo to fall into the flattery of everyone.
"Fourth brother?" The thirteenth elder brother called softly, Yin Zhen returned to his senses, his expression was good, but there was inevitably a little bit of curtain in his eyes, he looked at Yang Kang with envy, saw the white hair on his head, asked in a low voice "The thirteenth brother and sister didn't give you a prescription? You have to relax, old thirteenth, Huang Ama will always understand."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Yinxiang's mouth, "fourth brother, if it weren't for the prescription of the fourth sister-in-law, I'm afraid you don't have to worry about the old thirteen, and the fourth brother should be more careful. Fourth brother, be careful, you must not be caught, and what about Qi Jue's marriage?"

Yinzhen patted his hand, blinked his eyes clearly, at this time Yang Kang had led the crowd to the front, and bowed to salute.The third elder brother rushed forward to support Yang Kang, "Prince Zhuang's son, it is useless to be so courteous."

Yang Kang respectfully saluted all the princes one by one. He noticed the jealousy flashing in the eyes of the fourteenth elder brother, and shook his head secretly. Although he was talented, it was not appropriate for the emperor to show his emotions like this.Qi Jue followed Yang Kang honestly, but the pride on his body could be noticed by everyone present, Yinzhen frowned slightly, seeing Qi Jue secretly raised his eyebrows at him, let go of his thoughts, glanced in the direction of the carriage, and Hiding among the princes, watching the third elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother and others praised Yang Kang and Qi Jue.

Qi Jue held back the impatience in his heart, and when he heard the third elder brother praising his legacy of hussars, his expression changed slightly, and he declined, "Qi Jue dare not compare with Huo hussars." After all, everyone present saw Qi Jue's slight displeasure.Qi Jue stopped talking, followed Yinzhen's pointing and saw the carriage, and could even feel the carriage shaking slightly. He straightened his back, blinked his eyes twice, and Qi Jue seemed to see the carriage behind the curtain of the carriage. With proud and gratified eyes and a smile on his face, Qi Luo covered his chest in that direction, indicating that the bodyguard was still there, and then he stood up straight and saluted a military salute, which made him even more handsome and free, attracting It won the cheers of the people in the capital.

The people who spoke were taken aback by Qi Jue's actions. Yang Kang understood, glanced at the carriage in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Guards, salute everyone." He led the soldiers to salute, and then Yang Kang secretly said Glancing at Qi Jue warningly, the eighth elder brother said at this time, "Prince Zhuang's son should lead the troops into the city, Huang Ama is still waiting."

Surrounded by the crowd and amidst the cheers of the common people, Yang Kang and others came to the palace. Outside the Meridian Gate, they saw Kangxi in the emperor's court clothes and a ruby ​​pearl hanging on his chest from a distance. He said, "It's a good thing that the slave did not disgrace his life. It's all thanks to the emperor's power to pacify Tibet. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The guards knelt neatly and shouted long live, the sound seemed to shake the entire Forbidden City.

Kangxi took a deep breath, feeling that the government, which was a little out of control, was once again in his hands with this battle.Looking down at the crowd kneeling and worshiping, he said triumphantly, "Li Dequan delivered the decree, I will not let the victorious soldiers feel chilled."

Li Dequan took two steps forward, and unfolded the imperial decree: "Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered that, with the meritorious service, Yang Kang, the son of Prince Zhuang, the commander of the Guards, will be awarded the title of Taiwei. Therefore, Prince Zhuang Fu Jin was given the title of "virtuous virtue". Qi Jue, the leader of the guards, was named as the deputy commander of the guards with his meritorious service. He assisted in commanding Yang Kang and took charge of the guards. , and the rest of the people will be rewarded according to their military merits, and bestowed upon them."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Yang Kang and Qi Jue kowtowed to thank him, and this imperial decree from Kangxi opened the prelude to Qi Jue's constant command of troops.
