The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 581 Fame
In August of the 27th year of Kangxi, Galdan, the leader of the Junggar tribe who had been eager to move, finally led an army of [-] troops, crossed Hang'ai Mountain, and attacked the Mongolian area of ​​Khalkha in Mobei.

Galdan's attack from the Western Regions to the Mobei region is forming a pincer offensive with Tsarist Russia's attack from Lake Baikal to the south, making Khalkha, which is fighting against Tsarist Russia, beset by enemies.

Shetu Khan, the capital of Khalkha, could not resist the two-sided attack, so he had to withdraw the troops that would fight Tsarist Russia on the northern front, and Tsarist Russia immediately expanded eastward from Lake Baikal.

The Khalkha Army, which had shrunk its line of defense, also tried to resist. Tushetuhan concentrated his forces and fought against Galdan in the area west of Ulaanbaatar.

However, the Khalkha army fought for a long time, and its strength was not as good as before. After three days and three nights of hard fighting with Galdan, the whole army was finally defeated. The Mongolian tribes of Khalkha decided to attach themselves to the Qing Dynasty, so they retreated south and entered Mongolia.

In order to consolidate his dominance in the Junggar tribe, Galdan killed his younger brother Sonomu Arabtan, and secretly sent people to countermeasure Vanarabutan to persecute him.Cewang Alabatan was forced to lead [-] soldiers from the old Sengge tribe, and tens of thousands of tribes fled to the Bortala River as nomads.

Out of underestimation of the enemy, Galdan tightly led [-] elite cavalry in pursuit of the victory. As a result, he overcame Tsengarabutan's calculations and defeated Galdan, and the Junggar tribe fell into a split.

Cewang Alabatan defended himself along the Bortala River, and Galdan could not destroy it.

In Galdan's view, if the Khalkha and other Mongolian tribes in the east relied on the Qing Dynasty's foreign powers and middle cadres, if they could go east and seize the Mongolian grasslands, they would tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, and they themselves could become the overlord of the grassland.

Such a big commotion caused the court to shake and the emperor was furious. The Horqin tribe, both of the Mongolian tribe, has been with the Qing Dynasty for many years. The Khalkha tribe and the Horqin tribe belong to the same Mongolian tribe. Together.

In the early morning of one day, the ministers had a heated discussion, and the emperor also made up his mind to attack Junggar and kill the thief Galdan.

Just waiting for the Junggar tribe to overtake the Khalkha tribe by half a point, the crusade immediately broke out, leaving no room for it.

One day the emperor called Wanyu into Qianqing Palace, and wanted to stay overnight after dinner, but a courtier rushed to see him outside the palace, and Liang Jiugong bluntly said that it was an important matter for the military, so he could not choose Wanyu to go back to the palace first.

When leaving the palace, only one of the inner eunuchs who carried the sedan chair leaned on the side of the sedan chair door and fell asleep, Wan Yu woke him up softly, "Where are the others?"

The inner eunuch was startled, stood up and said in a blessing ceremony: "Your concubine, please forgive me. I thought that my wife would stay in the Qianqing Palace tonight, so I decided to ask everyone else to disperse and stay alone on the long street. The servant deserves to die, the servant will go and call people back."

He wanted to leave after he finished speaking, Wanyan called him and said softly: "Forget it, it's rare for you to have half a day of leisure in the palace to serve, and it's still early, I will go back after wandering around in the palace."

The inner prison kowtowed to thank Wan Lai for her kindness, but when she looked up, she turned a corner and disappeared.

In the late summer season, the capital is always hot and humid, and the downpour always comes easily.

With the sound of muffled thunder, the steam-soaked hot and humid wind billowed in, blowing up the graceful and close-fitting skirt.

She raised her eyes and saw that the increasingly dark and gloomy sky frowned lightly, and before she could go to the eaves to take shelter, the rain began to fall.

The torrential rain poured down between the sky and the earth, and the smell of dust, vegetation and rain permeated wantonly.

The muffled thunder made people's minds go numb, Wan Yu raised her hands to cover her forehead, and ran in two tight steps.

The right way was unlucky, and suddenly a shadow appeared on the top of her forehead. When she looked up again, she saw an oil-paper umbrella propped on it, and the tone that reassured her also sounded behind her: "It's still far away from Changchun Palace. If you go back to the palace, you will definitely fall ill."

Hearing the sound, he knew who the person holding the umbrella was, but he still looked back with anticipation.

A sudden thunder flashed, shining brightly in the Forbidden City at night.

Taking advantage of the light, she saw Shen Ye's handsome face.

His eyebrows are like spring mountains, his eyes are firm but tender, and he is staring at Wan Yu with piercing eyes.

She turned her head away in a panic, handed the handkerchief to Shen Ye, and pushed the umbrella handle to move the oil-paper umbrella to Shen Ye: "Your Excellency, take care of yourself first."

Shen Ye laughed brightly, and after taking the silk, he still joked with a ruffian face: "This oil umbrella is only enough to hold the rain for one person. If I take care of myself, I will chill the empress. The empress is the emperor's treasure. Serving the emperor, I have to protect the empress well for the emperor." After finishing speaking, his voice slowly lowered, and he said seriously: "I will protect the empress back to the palace."

Wan Yu was startled, but she was also afraid that if the people in the palace saw the two sharing an umbrella, they would say something stupid.

She herself is fine, but if she drags Shen Ye down for nothing, it won't be worth it.

Her subordinates suddenly exerted force and pushed Shen Ye away decisively.

The rain fell like a pillar, like gravel falling on him.After cutting and eating, I felt a little pain.

The cloak was completely soaked and stuck to her body, the rain seemed to be a barrier separating Shen Ye who was so close to her.

Her eyes were a little foggy, she pretended to straighten her wet hair, and said in a steady voice: "It's raining so hard, my lord, hurry up and go back to the verandah to rest."

"Your Majesty is afraid?" Shen Ye held a meaningless smile on the corner of his mouth: "Afraid of what?"

Another burst of muffled thunder sounded in her ears, Wan Yu was startled suddenly, she clutched her chest and took two steps back, but the bottom of the flowerpot slipped and nearly fell to the ground.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Shen Ye dropped the oil-paper umbrella and stepped forward to stop Wanyu's waist and help her up.

When Wanyu stood up, he quickly withdrew his hands and said, "Your Majesty, be more careful." After saying that, he turned around and picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the ground and handed it to Wanyu: "My minister is rude, you must accept this umbrella, my minister. I can feel a little more at ease in my heart.”

Wannai took the oil-paper umbrella with a dull expression, saw Shen Ye turning around to leave, and then called him: "My lord Shen, I heard the emperor didn't want to say a few words in Qianqing Palace tonight, I just want to invite you to come to Japan." Go to the front to conquer Galdan?"

Shen Ye was stunned, shrugged and smiled: "What's the point of such a trivial matter?"

Wan Yu was a little anxious: "You are the imperial bodyguard, there is no need to stop such a dangerous thing."

He turned his head slowly, his handsome eyes glowing brightly in the rainy night: "When will the imperial guards survive? A man defending his family and defending his country fights on the battlefield. It is his duty and his own selfishness. The humble minister loves the woman Is it because of the bright moon in the night, how can the little fireflies accompany me? I know that I can’t be a sunrise, but I have to become a star, so I can stay closer to her and protect her better.”

How could Wanyu not know who the woman Shen Ye was talking about?For a moment, her heart felt warm and she seemed to be crying, but she held back her life: "If you lose your life because of this, is it worth it?"

Shen Ye smiled freely, waved his hands and joked: "Who in this world can live forever? I just want to be at ease." After saying that, he turned around and ran away. When his figure gradually disappeared into the night, he still did not forget to say: " Empress, be careful on the way back to the palace, be careful of slippery steps."

Wanyu stood there holding an umbrella, and she didn't see Shen Ye's figure for a long time, so she murmured to herself: "The sun, the moon and the years can't meet each other, only the stars are always with you. Brother Lingyou, I only hope you are in good health and smooth. I don't dare to ask for extravagance anymore"
