"Hello general, mighty general!"
"Great general, good job! It was you who brought peace to our Daqing border pass! ā
"The general raises the prestige of the Qing Dynasty, we all love you!"
......
Seeing that the crowd welcomed him so much, Yang Meng couldn't help but be proud in his heart.
Klose and Akimu on the side were full of envy for him, and the two of them were also full of fighting spirit, secretly thinking about how to revitalize their own nation, and in the future, they could also enjoy such glory.
However, when he saw Yinren, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said against his will: "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ā
Although Yinren's face was not very good-looking, he still held Yang Meng up and said, "The general is exempt!" ā
After Yang Meng got up, he first introduced Klose and Aqimu and his party.
He said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is His Excellency Klose, the General of the Kingdom of Prussia in Europe, and this is His Royal Highness Aqimu, the son of the Prince of Turghut Khan, who have come to the Qing Dynasty to present their credentials at the behest of King Frederick and Ayuqi Khan. ā
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Qing Kingdom!"
Klose and Archie greeted each other on horseback.
Yinren smiled and said: "The two envoys have worked hard, come here, send the envoys of the two countries to the post house to rest first, and then arrange the audience." ā
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."
After the prince's personal guards responded, he took Klose and Akimu and their retinue to the inn. And Yang Meng was taken to the prince's mansion by Yinren and his cronies, and Yinren was ordered to hold a banquet and personally wash the dust for Yang Meng.
Yinren's purpose is very clear, that is, to win Yang Meng's support.
Now that he has fallen out of favor in front of Kangxi, he is very hopeful that he will be abolished by Kangxi again, Yinren naturally wants to continue to be the prince and inherit Kangxi's career in the future.
If Yang Meng is willing to support him, then his position as crown prince may be retained.
At the beginning of the banquet, Yinren raised his glass and said: "General, looking at the Qing Dynasty today, only the general has the greatest military merits, and he has expanded so much territory, he can be called the first person in the army." In the life of this palace, the most admired is the warrior who opened up the territory for my Qing Dynasty, and the general's current merits are enough to seal the country! Later in the palace, the emperor Ama will be played, and the general will be named a loyal and brave duke! Come, General, this palace toasts you and congratulates you on the great victory of the expedition! ā
Yang Meng secretly thought in his heart that this Yinren had finally learned to buy people's hearts, but unfortunately, his prince was destined to be abolished, if he was willing to work hard, why bother to burn his eyebrows before he temporarily hugged Buddha's feet?
However, Yang Meng still thanked him: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind, and the last general is grateful!" ā
After drinking the wine in the cup, Yinren said again: "General, is this evil country really vulnerable?" This palace remembers the original battle of Yaxa, and if I hadn't been trapped in the Qing Dynasty and the people of the evil country ran out of ammunition and food, I am afraid it would not have been so easy to win. ā
Yang Meng smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the people of this evil country are not vulnerable, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong. However, when we launched a surprise attack this time, first destroying the Dzungar Khanate, and then letting the Kazakhs lend a route, the Bad Nation obviously did not expect that we would pass through the Kazakh steppe so quickly. By the time they found out, the last general had already approached the city, breaking through their three lines of defense in one fell swoop with powerful firepower, and attacked the Volga River valley. ā
Yinren nodded again and again, and said: "Listening to what the general said, the palace also wants to see it in the coming year, and by the way, comfort the soldiers of the expeditionary force, this matter is so decided, go back to the palace and ask the emperor for instructions." ā
Yinren's idea has been around for a long time, and he has seen Kangxi's several personal expeditions, which makes Kangxi's prestige resounding all over the world. Yinren also wanted to make this move, once he accumulated prestige, he could consolidate his position as the crown prince, and when Kangxi wanted to abolish himself, it would be difficult to make excuses.
Yinren's other idea is to use this to master a force, and if he wants to go to extremes in the future, he will also have a dependence.
Yang Meng naturally guessed Yinren's thoughts, and Yinren didn't seem to want to sit still!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the front line is difficult, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to such a place with such a noble status? Besides, the territory of this evil country is extremely desolate, the climate is cold, and if you are not careful, you will be infected with wind cold, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is infected with wind cold, how will he explain to the Lord of Long Live in the end?"
Yang said hurriedly. Yinren has always been pampered, and he will definitely not be able to suffer when he gets to the front, and he will definitely be a deserter when the time comes, and the morale of the soldiers will also be messed up by him.
Yinren said with a smile: "The general underestimates the palace too much, and now that the emperor is in full bloom, the palace should share his worries, and in the coming year, he will attack the evil country and calm the troubles in the north." ā
Yang Meng wanted to say something, but Mingzhu said: "The general, don't stop His Royal Highness the Prince, I established the country with force in the Qing Dynasty, and now the Long Live Lord is both civil and military, and there is nothing wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking at the Long Live Lord." The expeditionary force is strong, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervises the army to fight, and he will be able to pacify the evil country in one fell swoop, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to be deeply trusted by the Lord of Long Live Lord, General, this is your opportunity. ā
Mingzhu is the prince's person, the signs are very obvious, and his words are also a reminder to Yang Meng that if Yinren succeeds to the throne in the future, then what Yang Meng does today can be the key to Yang Meng's promotion in the officialdom.
Yang Meng secretly laughed in his heart that Mingzhu was smart and confused for a while, Kangxi, an old fox, how can he see his control of power and art?
The current Yinren, that is, Kangxi took it out as a target, Kangxi wants to see who is ambitious, who is suitable to be the prince, Yinren has no chance.
Yang Meng still said: "Since this is the case, then the last general has nothing to say, if the long live lord is approved, then the last general will definitely assist His Highness with all his heart to complete the grand goal of the expedition." ā
"Haha, that's right, the expedition is a strategic goal, this palace admires the general's strategy very much, come, this palace will toast you again!"
Yinren smiled and raised his glass.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After that, the ministers also began to toast Yang Meng one after another, and Yang Meng couldn't refuse the routines in the officialdom.
Since Yang Meng's cultivation, his physical fitness has long improved by leaps and bounds, and the wine he drank was forced to his fingertips by luck and quietly discharged.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Meng also got up and said goodbye: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not too early, the last general will leave!" ā
Yinren smiled and said: "The general should also go back to the house to see a few children, the palace is also lacking, so I won't send the general, tomorrow morning, the general will wait for the good news of the palace, and then the general will definitely get a prince for the general." ā
Yang Meng said: "Then thank you His Royal Highness the Prince!" ā
Out of the Prince's Mansion, Yang Meng secretly thought that he was going to be roasted on the fire now, and it was not a good thing to spread Yinren's, if Yinren really wanted to supervise the army in front of the army at that time, he would be comfortable at that time, it was really not good, and it would not be a big deal to let him die of illness in the army.
Waiting in front of the fourth gate, when he saw Yang Meng coming out, he immediately greeted him and said, "Master, the Fourth Master's Mansion and the Eighth Master's Mansion have sent people to the mansion, so that the Lord will go back to see them." ā
Yang Meng smiled: "My fragrant gluttony, they all want to gnaw, mother, they all want to use Lao Tzu, but unfortunately, you are destined not to get the results you want." ā
