There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

Chapter 129 The 8rd Year of Kangxi

The official who spoke shrank back immediately, his face pale.

Suo'etu came out and sneered several times at those officials: "Your Majesty, the situation is now under the control of the imperial court, so why bother to issue an imperial edict? After the catastrophe in which year, the epidemic was not rampant, and the dead were not counted." Countless, but this time there were not many casualties except for the unpreparedness on the first day, and there were almost no casualties afterwards.

The first empress couldn't bear the emperor to be wronged so much, so she entrusted the dream to His Royal Highness, hoping that the emperor would be safe. "

You must know that this time, Kangxi used the words of Empress Renxiao to the crown prince in a dream, and forced the relocation of the disaster-stricken people in the capital and surrounding areas. At first, there was a lot of trouble, but waited until the 29th and [-]th... until August [-]th The daily earthquakes are consistent with the dreams Kangxi said.

For this reason, many ordinary people pay homage to Queen Renxiao at home.Thanks to the Emperor, Empress Renxiao, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for their life-saving grace, and those who intend to make the Emperor sin against him, I am afraid that they have ghosts in their hearts!

Suo'etu only wished that this matter would become even bigger. It would be best if the whole Qing Dynasty knew that it was the emperor, empress Renxiao and the prince who had contributed to it. How could he agree with the emperor to issue an edict to sin against himself at this moment?

Kangxi sneered, and directly ordered: "Take off his top wearing flower feathers, and put him in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for disposal!"

"twitter!"

This person did not expect that the greedy mind that wanted to use the censor to persuade the emperor in order to leave a mark in the history books turned out to be a disaster for himself. He could only cry bitterly and beg for mercy for a while.

The courtiers who stood aside had no sympathy at all, even Suo'etu's political enemy Mingzhu, his position is now the same as that of Suo'etu.Although I feel a little bit dissatisfied that this good reputation mostly falls on the Hesheli family, disaster relief is a big deal, and the rest can be discussed after the disaster!

The earthquake had lasted for two months, and there was another slight tremor on the way back to the harem when Kangxi went down to court.

The palace people who carried the sedan chair got used to it, they moved forward quickly without raising their heads, and didn't stop until they reached the open space in front of the racetrack.

There are too many palaces in the harem, if it collapses like the Fengxian Palace, there will be more people injured, so Kangxi simply arranged all the concubines in the harem to the racetrack.

Under the racecourse is a soft pasture, and neat rows of tents have been set up, but there is no sound of people coming and going.

In this catastrophe, even the palace people who worked in the palace had many friends and relatives who died or were injured in the disaster.Kangxi raised the curtain of the largest tent among them and walked in. The queen was lying on the hospital bed, her face was burning red, and she whispered softly from time to time.

The empress dowager sat on the side full of worry, since the night before the earthquake, the empress had a low-grade fever.

After inquiring about the nuns in the palace, the Empress Dowager found out that the Empress had been ill for a long time on and off, perhaps because she was injured during the rescue, the fever became more and more severe, with ups and downs, and she still hasn't recovered after two months .

In the night, he had a fever from time to time, and now even Doctor Xu can only shake his head secretly, he can't even determine what disease, let alone how to treat it with medicine, he can only use the medicine that is least harmful to the body first.

Kangxi had some predictions in his heart. The historical Queen Niu Gulu passed away two years earlier. Although it has been here for a few years, the foundation is indeed not good.

Thinking that the person sent out to look for the famous doctor has not been found yet, Kangxi felt restless for a while.

However, he was busy with affairs, so he had no choice but to take a look. After paying his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, he had to suppress the anxiety in his heart and return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to continue working. It's enough to leave people, but how should we arrange for so many people who are seriously ill and have broken arms and legs?How to treat it?How to prevent the epidemic has become a big problem.

Watching Kangxi leave, the Empress Dowager sighed and sat beside the empress.She looked carefully at the queen who was breathing lightly, the sharpness in her eyes gradually melted away, and she raised her hand to touch the towel on her forehead: "Bring the water."

She stirred the towel in the basin, wrung it dry and put it back on the queen's forehead, and helped the queen trim the corners of the quilt.

"Gege, let the empress's servants do this." Su Mala persuaded in a low voice.Liu Zhi and the others standing around waiting were all pale with fright at the scene in front of them, and they all looked at it stupidly.

"The Queen saved Aijia's old life, and Aijia was just helping." The Empress Dowager shook her head, seeing the strange expressions of the palace people, she finally got up and took Su Mala away.

"Gege...the empress, she..." Thinking of the emperor's reluctance to draft girls into the palace, the empress dowager's dissatisfaction with the empress, and thinking of the empress saving the empress dowager's life, Su Mala spoke with a hint of hesitation indefinite.

"The Ai family thought about it, the queen has no children, and she looks so terminally ill, even if the emperor is in love...it won't be involved in the past affairs." The empress dowager said lightly.

After pondering for a moment, the Empress Dowager spoke again: "When such a catastrophe is imminent, you can still think of Aijia. The Empress is also a person with the utmost affection and nature. I have seen that although she has matured a lot after so many years, she still has that person in her heart. "

Su Mala listened silently.

It's just a pity... The empress dowager was in a complicated mood. Seeing the empress's weak appearance, there was no one in the harem who could straighten up. If she went there, the harem would be in chaos again.

There are countless affairs to be dealt with, but apart from the Queen and Concubine Tong Gui, who else in the palace can take on the big responsibility.All of a sudden, even Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian and other concubines who had never taken over the affairs of the palace received various tasks one after another. Items are counted and registered.

After the weather turned cooler in October, the earthquake situation finally became easier.It's just that "the former queen's dream" is too accurate. Knowing that there will be an earthquake in April and May next year, Kangxi and his courtiers are working harder at this moment, and must be fully prepared before the next earthquake.

Kangxi first ordered that Tongxian, Sanhe, Pinggu and other places be exempted from taxes for a whole year, and then more than a dozen counties and towns that were less affected by the disaster were exempted from taxes for half a year.

On the other hand, there was an earthquake in the capital of the Qing Dynasty. The Zheng Jing Navy, who had been beaten back to his hometown during the San Francisco Rebellion, once again invaded Fujian, occupying the coastal islands by force, and even penetrated deep into the interior.

An urgent letter from eight hundred miles was sent to Kangxi, and Kangxi was furious immediately, and immediately sent Prince Kang Jieshu and Prince An Yuele to Fujian to join the war.

The gap between Zheng Jing's ability and his father's is too great, and he still doesn't listen to the advice.In the absence of food in the follow-up, he dared to go deep, and was captured alive on the spot by Prince Kang Jieshu, killing thousands of enemy troops, and went straight to recover many places, and even went straight to Taiwan.

After entering Taiwan, Prince Kang Jieshu was almost dumbfounded!

When his report was delivered to Emperor Kangxi, Kangxi was also unbelievable. He read it several times and raised his eyebrows in doubt: "Is this Zheng Jing really the son of Zheng Chenggong?"

"Indeed."

"Father is a hero, but he gave birth to such a bear!" Kangxi sneered, threw the secret letter sent back by Prince Kang's Jieshu on the tray, and motioned Liang Jiugong to give it to the ministers to have a look.

Li Wei was puzzled, took the lead to pick up the secret letter and read it carefully, but gasped: "Your Majesty, these barbarians must have plans!"

Seeing this, Mingzhu hurriedly took the secret letter and read it carefully, and when the many senior scholars present read it, their complexions were dignified and blue, and they had to feel that Kangxi's description was correct.

"Zheng Chenggong probably never imagined that he spent so much effort to drive away those Dutch barbarians. His son actually lured wolves into his house, brought in another group of barbarians in just a few years, and even allowed them to use Taiwan. island!"

Even civil servants who were also Han felt that they had stuffed a mouthful of horse manure and felt sick.

What's more, after landing on the island, Prince Kang Jieshu led hundreds of soldiers on the warship to disembark. What he faced was not the Han Chinese who came to defend against foreign enemies, but a group of barbarians with different hair colors. Standing aside was a very thin Han Chinese, who had apparently been captured as an interpreter.

The leading barbarian looked arrogantly at the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in front of him, his eyes gliding over the guns beside them, and with a hint of disdain and sneer, he turned sideways and chattered to the translator.

The translator stepped forward bravely, with trembling lips: "This foreigner said that you trespassed on their territory!"

"Dutch?" Prince Kang raised his eyebrows. He had learned a lot of English in the capital, so he subconsciously asked.

"No, don't compare us with the Dutch, we are Spaniards!" The leading Spaniard looked at Prince Kang in surprise and shouted in English.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of Spanish soldiers behind him raised their guns and aimed at the Qing officers and soldiers in front: "We are holding muskets, which are much more powerful than those old antiques in your hands! If you beg for mercy and surrender us I will spare your lives—if you still dare to resist, I am afraid that this gun has no eyes, and immediately kill all of you!"

The Spanish soldiers behind him were holding guns and speaking words that everyone couldn't understand, but just from their expressions and movements, it could be seen that they were full of malicious intentions.

Prince Kang had a weird expression on his face.Not only him, but even the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty at the back suppressed their smiles and stared at the Spaniards with half-smiles.

"Except for the leader who survived, everyone was killed." Prince Kang said slowly, but the words he said were cruel.

The leading Spaniard hadn't reacted yet, the next moment, the screams that came pouring in made him break out in cold sweat, and in less than a minute, he was the only one standing there!Frightened, he took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it indiscriminately: "You guys, who are you guys?"

How could there be such a powerful musket—?

Seeing him take out the gun, Prince Kang clicked impatiently: "Forget it, there must be other barbarians here, so deal with him too."

"Yes." The personal guard standing beside Prince Kang raised his gun and shot without hesitation—hitting the Spaniard in the chest!

The Spaniard's eyes were distracted, and he pressed the trigger subconsciously, but the bullets pierced the cloth clothes of the Qing people in front of him who he looked down upon. The dark armor exposed inside flashed a metallic luster, and the bullets fired It fell to the ground with a clatter.

The faces of the rest of the translators were tense and pale, and they sat down on the ground, looking at the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in fear. Among them, the leader saw that the lieutenant general in charge moved his gun towards them, and raised his hands in panic and shouted: " Surrender! Surrender! Caomin surrender! Caomin is a businessman from the Thirteen Banks in Guangdong, and was captured by these barbarians!"

"Stop!" Prince Kang stopped the lieutenant general's movement, and frowned carefully to observe the translators: their faces were haggard, their clothes looked extremely old and tattered, and they didn't look like businessmen.

"My lord." The person in the lead said tremblingly, "Cao Min's surname is Xu, and he is a member of Xu's Commercial Firm in Guangzhou Shisanhang! They have been arrested by them since they went to sea at the end of last year to act as translators..."

"My lord?"

"Take care of them first, register them on the register and send someone to the Guangzhou government to verify their identities before disposing of them."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the crisis of being shot was resolved, the faces of these translators became much better. Even though the actions of the officers and soldiers were still quite rough, they were still full of joy. .

It's more like a village than a city.As the Spaniards were cleaned up, a few small heads appeared on the top of the stockade not far away, looking at them in horror.

They are black-haired and black-eyed, and they look like Han Chinese or aborigines here.Prince Kang smiled and waved upwards, and after a while, someone pushed open the tall wooden door.

The people who came out surprised Prince Kang and others even more.

No wonder those Spaniards dared to swagger out of the stockade. These Han people were so thin that even their bones were clearly visible.Most of them only wore a vest, not to mention underwear, and didn't even have a pair of shoes, so they just stepped on the mud with their bare feet.

Life is not as sad as usual!These people watched Prince Kang and his party enter the stockade, weeping with joy and grievance, they knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord! Thank you for saving my life, my lord!"

What is it all about?
