Chapter 252: Is the opportunity here?
As soon as these words came out, both the elder and younger Tsering Dundub smiled and praised: "The eldest prince is indeed very careful and intelligent. He was able to deduce the situation of the Qing court from such a small detail. If these are true, the Khanate's opportunity has come!"
Tsewang Arabtan also agreed with this point.
But the matter is of great importance, and we cannot rashly send troops based on some speculations.
Explore and explore again.
If it is true, send troops and catch the Qing court off guard.
Take back the lost Khalkha Mongolia!
Kangxi sneered after receiving the news: "Very good, you can perform in your true colors this time."
The princes who were implied felt embarrassed and hurriedly expressed their opinions.
"Then was then, and the present is now."
"Right, right, right. Now we help each other and work together. There is no more intrigue."
"It's extreme, it's extreme."
"Khan, my sons have all turned over a new leaf and reformed. They are wholeheartedly surrounding the Qing Dynasty with you and the crown prince as the core. Those who are good at literature will assist, and those who are good at fighting will attack. They all display their talents and devote themselves to the development of the Qing Dynasty..."
Seeing this, Kangxi nodded in satisfaction: "I was just joking just now, but I am also very happy that you have such an attitude."
"When father and son are of one mind, their strength can break metal. If you can keep doing this, what do you have to fear from the mere Dzungar?"
The fourteenth prince, who wanted to be a true general king but ended up with only a Beile, quickly volunteered: "My son is not talented, but I am willing to lead the army to defeat the bandits, recover the Western Regions, and make the Dzungar Khanate a thing of the past!"
In a moment, the eldest prince, who had been overtaken first, quickly knelt down and expressed his willingness to be a vanguard.
In addition to showing off himself, he also did not forget to pull down his brothers.
He said frankly that no matter how ambitious his fourteenth brother was, he was still young and inexperienced, and was not as good as him...
Before he could even utter the words "mature and prudent", Fourteenth became angry: "What do you mean, not as good as you, Big Brother? Not as good as you, who was willful and self-righteous and let Galdan escape?"
hiss~
This is simply insulting and exposing someone's shortcomings, and slapping someone in the face.
This one sentence completely ignited the eldest prince's anger: "How dare you, you brat!"
Right here in the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace, in front of Emperor Kangxi, the two brothers started fighting with fists and feet.
The rest of the people are confused, okay?
After realizing what was happening, he quickly stepped forward to stop the fight, but was stopped by Kangxi with a cold face: "Don't try to persuade them, let them fight!"
The princes had no choice but to obey the order, and watched as the two brothers fought from afternoon to dusk without a clear winner. Instead, they left more and more marks on each other, and their faces were bruised and swollen.
It was so hard to part with.
When Yinxuan finished a day of researching and studying firearms and returned from the Ministry of War dragging his tired body, he heard the news that the fierce battle between the two brothers was still going on.
He was so frightened that all his tiredness and exhaustion seemed like he had seen a ghost.
He ran towards the Qianqing Palace.
When they arrived at the destination, they found the two brothers fighting. The other brothers watched with concern but did not dare to say a word.
Because anyone who showed the slightest sign of begging for mercy would be met with the emperor's cold stare and attack.
And his father Kangxi stood with his hands behind his back, and that expression, wow!
Definitely blacker than the bottom of a pot.
Even colder than his fourth brother.
Yinxuan was so scared that he trembled: "Son, I pay my respects to Khan Ama. Haha, my brothers are all here? What's going on? Why are the eldest brother and the fourteenth brother so excited?"
Princes:!!!
What kind of damned way of talking is this?
Boy, can't you see how ugly Han Ama's face is, and how bruised those two are?
but!
However, it is not obvious in normal times, but when it comes to the real situation, the different treatment between the son of Fuxing and ordinary sons is reflected.
For example, at this moment, Khan Ama was so angry that he almost smoked, but he still remembered to curl his lips to Xiao Shiba: "Xiao Shiba, you are considerate. Seeing that they were beaten like this, you still remembered to help them make up for it."
"But these two are so useless. They say they are brothers, but in fact they want to see their brother off to the grave. Look at the punches and kicks they are throwing. Are they holding back at all?"
The newly promoted Tenth Prince of Dun County did not like what he said: "They don't want to do that, do they?"
"Originally, Fourteenth Brother just made a slip of the tongue and Big Brother got angry. The two brothers just exchanged a few moves and learned from each other. But Khan Ama insisted that they fight each other to see who is more powerful. It depends on who will lead the army to attack Junggar."
[Huh? This...]
[Can the eldest and fourteenth brothers believe such obviously angry words? That is the Dzungar Khanate, a Dzungar Khanate with millions of square kilometers and equipped with flintlock rifles and artillery!]
[No matter how indifferent Kangxi said, he should be careful about it, right? How could he make a decision just based on a fight? If he could, wouldn't the Zhaoren Hall be turned into a scene of a fight?]
The more the fight went on, the more tired the eldest prince became. He was only holding on by that one chance, and was stunned. In the moment he was distracted, he was hit by Fourteenth's sweeping kick.
With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground.
Fourteen rushed forward and pinned him down. Then he looked at his father with burning eyes, waiting for the emperor to speak.
As a result, he didn't play by the rules at all.
He directly stated that the matter of raising troops could be discussed later, but the two brothers were unfriendly and disrespectful, and their mistake of fighting in the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace could not be ignored.
Seeing that they were all bruised and battered, I didn't punish them with a cane.
Let’s all be under house arrest!
Only when he realizes his mistakes and writes a profound letter of apology will he be allowed to attend court again.
The eldest prince and the fourteenth prince both looked pale and accepted the order reluctantly.
In the following days, the princes were punished and reprimanded one after another. The crown prince gave a few words of advice, but was ridiculed in the court and accused of buying people's hearts.
The prince was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot and swore to heaven that he did not do it.
He just listened to Khan's Ama's teachings and treated his brothers with respect.
The ridicule was even worse. The proud Prince could not stand it and spoke back directly, resulting in him being grounded and punished to copy the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times.
People in the court were in panic and rumors were spreading quietly. The situation was even bigger than when Soetu was imprisoned.
Things took a sudden turn for the worse, and no matter how Yinxuan looked at it, he felt something was fishy.
But when the same news reached the Dzungar Khanate, Tsewang Arabtan and his companions did not have the slightest doubt.
After all, due to their inherent impression, they had long believed that Kangxi was full of wariness and fear towards the crown prince. The conflict between the father and son had been irreconcilable since the death of Soetu, and the grudge was huge!
Since the Crown Prince's position is unstable, the other princes will inevitably become restless and will be unable to suppress their desire to replace him.
The eldest prince and the fourteenth prince were both born to the favorite concubine and were both very favored.
Isn't it just a fight for favor?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Galdan Tsering smiled and said, "Father Khan, our chance has come. Give the order!"
