Everyone left, but Kangxi left Yang Meng alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Little Mengzi, according to what you just said, I want to hear your opinion, how can I take the initiative?" Kangxi asked.
Yang Meng secretly thought that it was time to fight for it, as long as he could lead an army alone, then there would be a foundation for rebellion in the future.
At that moment, he said: "Long live my lord, this evil country has a vast territory, but the population is sparse, and the climate is harsh, so it is not easy to reproduce a large number of people. This is our chance to clear up. , our Qing country has a population of more than 20,000, and in terms of the source of soldiers, it far exceeds the evil country. If the slave is given a cavalry, the slave is willing to lead the army into the hinterland of the evil country, loot in the territory of the evil country, feed the war with war, and consume the resources of the evil country, if this continues, how can the evil country threaten the Qing Dynasty again? ”
"This, the lonely army is deep, little Mengzi, have you thought about it? That's a matter of death. Kangxi said.
"Hehe, long live the lord, don't you hear about Hou Hu, the champion of the Han family that day? The former champion Hou was alone, but he leveled the Xiongnu's nest in one fell swoop, and since then the strength of the Han and the Huns has been completely subverted, and the threat of the border passes of the Han Dynasty has been swept away in one fell swoop. How similar is my Qing Dynasty to the Han Dynasty in the past? If a strong team enters the hinterland of the evil country, the great achievements of the former champion Hou can be repeated. ”
Yang Meng said.
"Good! Xiao Mengzi, since you have this ambition, am you not as good as Han Wu? In this way, I will first make you the general of the Broken Prisoners, go back and prepare well, and tomorrow I will go to the court, and tell you your strategy one by one, so as to block the mouths of the ministers. Kangxi was overjoyed and said.
Kangxi has always compared himself to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and disdains Tang and Song ancestors, so it can be said that he thinks he is the first emperor of the ages.
Now, Yang Meng's words made him see the opportunity to establish the status of the first emperor of the ages in one fell swoop, so Kangxi is ready to see the situation of the Qing Dynasty overshadowing any dynasty in his last years.
And Yang Meng, a fierce general, has such ambitions, which has injected a shot of strength into Kangxi.
Yang Meng was also overjoyed and said, "Thank you, minions, long live the master!" However, Long Live Lord can give the slave freedom, if there are too many constraints, even if the slave has three heads and six arms, I am afraid it will be difficult to spread it. ”
Yang Meng immediately made a cautious eye, and made this request at this juncture, Kangxi Bao might not agree.
"Haha, you dog minion, you really know how to pick time, okay, I promise you, I will not interfere with your freedom. But, the family I picked for you in the first place, shouldn't you also get married? Ortai's niece, she should be an adult at this time, right? Kangxi scolded with a smile.
When Kangxi gave Yang Meng a marriage, Ortai's niece Ruolan was only 8 years old, and nearly ten years later, Ruolan had indeed reached the age of marriage.
The ancients married early, and generally had to marry at the age of 14.
On the one hand, Kangxi's move won people's hearts, and on the other hand, it was also a restrain on Yang Meng, with his family staying in the capital, Kangxi did not worry that Yang Meng would not listen to him.
Seeing that it was inevitable, Yang Meng had no choice but to say: "Since the Lord Long Live has a will, then the slave will also pick an auspicious day and get married before the expedition." ”
"That's fine, man, you will be more mature after you get married." Kangxi nodded and said.
After chatting with Kangxi in the Qianqing Palace for a few useless words, Yang Meng retired and continued to stand guard, but this may be his last shift at the Qianqing Palace Station.
Wu Tian said enviously: "Brother Meng, you are really lucky to have been favored by the Lord of Long Life. ”
"The opportunities are all grasped by yourself, Wu Tian, if my brother gives you the opportunity to go on the expedition, are you willing?" Yang Meng asked.
People have their own ambitions, some people like a comfortable life, some people like adventurous days, stay in the palace to continue to work, this life has no worries about food and clothing, but the chance of promotion is not great; On the contrary, if he was willing to follow Yang Meng, maybe Wu Tian's fate would be different, and greater glory and wealth might still be waiting for him.
"Expedition? Brother Meng, where are we going to fight? Wu Tian hurriedly asked.
As soon as he saw this expression, Yang Meng knew that this Wu Tian was a man who liked to fight.
"Evil country, are you going?" Yang Meng said.
"Bad country? Is it the same country that fought with us in Yaksa? Haha, great, we didn't have a chance to fight with the evil countrymen last time, now I have to go, Brother Meng, count me in. Wu Tian said happily.
"No problem, after the changing of the guard, you go back and ask which other brothers like to fight, and get me a list after contacting me." Yang Meng confessed in a low voice.
Wu Tian nodded and agreed.
At noon, two Ouchi guards came to change the guard, and the work in three shifts was boring, but not too tiring.
After returning to the Guard's Mansion and handing over the sign, Yang Meng went home for dinner.
When he arrived at the door, Yang Meng had already smelled the fragrance of the food, and when he entered the door, he saw that there were already several dishes on the table.
"Yo, I'm back, sir." Green pothos walked out of the kitchen with two plates of braised pork in his hand, and when he saw Yang Meng, he shouted affectionately.
"Madame has worked hard, there is a caring one, but it is different." Yang Meng happily sat down on the table and said.
"There is also a soup, the concubine will go and bring it out. It's ready to serve in no time. After speaking, Pothos put down the braised pork, then walked into the kitchen, and walked out with another pot of soup.
"Wow, it's a sumptuous day, ma'am, are you going to comfort your husband?" Yang Meng reached out and grabbed a piece of braised beef, and said while eating.
"Isn't this our first meal in Daqing, of course we have to make a hearty one. Today, in the court, there are some gains, let's talk about it for the concubine. The pothos said.
"I have a chance, today I take the initiative to ask Ying, I want to lead the army to attack the evil country, and then I can cultivate my own forces." Yang Meng laughed.
"Can you lead the army? That's great, but this army, sir, you have to find a way to make it your personal arm, and build on them to grow and grow. At the same time, if you occupy the territory of the evil countrymen, you must also find a way to firmly entrench it, and when the time comes, someone will have a territory, and there will be room for display. "The pothos is also quite happy.
Yang Meng took a sip of the wine glass, nodded, and said, "I understand this truth, but I guess Kangxi won't let us get our wish so easily." By the way, you see which day is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and when the time comes, you will marry that Manchu into the door, and then you will go on the expedition. ”
Luluo stretched out her hand and pinched her fingers, read a few words, and then said: "Three days later, it will be the auspicious day of the zodiac, and when you marry a bride, what should you do with her?" ”
"If she is with me, I will treat her well, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Yang Meng sneered.
Luluo nodded and said, "It's so good, then let's eat quickly, you accompany me to the capital in the afternoon, I haven't seen such a big city, you should also know that the cities in the novel are not big, and they are not so lively." ”
"Okay, by the way, buy some festive things and come back, ready to use when you get married." Yang Meng nodded.
After the two of them had eaten, they packed up and went out of the house.
