Chapter 1241: Careful planning and revival

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are only a few days left until the Double Ninth Festival.

In order to prepare for Su Mingzhe's marriage to his concubine Niuhuru Lanxin, the Zhen Beile Mansion became unusually busy.

Niuhuru is the "Na" among the eight major surnames "Tong, Guan, Ma, Suo, He, Fu, Na, and Lang".

Among the four regents in Kangxi's early years, Ebilun was a member of the Niohuru clan.

Ebilun's two daughters were Kangxi's Empress Xiaozhaoren and Consort Wenxi, and his son Alinga is now the Minister of the Imperial Guard and the Minister of State Council.

In addition, Niuhuru married more than ten daughters of the royal family, and more than ten women of the Niuhuru clan married royal relatives.

Now, Su Mingzhe is going to marry Niuhuru Lanxin. Apart from other things, all the social interactions alone are enough to keep Prince Zhen’s Mansion very busy.

Lan Xin's cousin Aling'a, who had just taken refuge with Su Mingzhe, also wanted to come over to help, but was stopped by Su Mingzhe.

He was the Grand Minister of the Imperial Guard, one of the six generals responsible for guarding the Forbidden City.

If the news that Alinga had defected to him spread, Su Mingzhe was afraid that Kangxi and the prince would not be able to sleep.

Moreover, before this, Alinga had always had a very good relationship with the Tenth Prince Yin'e.

In the TV series, Alinga and Kuixu pledged allegiance to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen on the surface, but secretly sided with the Eight Princes' Party, playing a game of "Infernal Affairs". While attacking the Crown Prince, they turned the tables and framed the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, almost deposing the unprepared Yinzhen.

Fortunately, the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang took the blame in time and saved the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

However, Yinxiang was also confined in Yangfeng Alley for ten years because of this.

In the TV series, after Yinzhen ascended the throne, he directly dismembered Alinga and Kuixu into five pieces to relieve his hatred.

Now the world is in a cycle.

Su Mingzhe would naturally not make the same old mistake and continue to let Alinga join him while letting others be more defensive against him.

All he was thinking about now was, 'give and take action as you would have given them'. After a while, he would find an opportunity to let Alinga surrender to the Eighth Prince Yinsi.

At the critical moment, Yinsi also had a taste of the feeling of being stabbed in the back.

A few days passed in a flash and it was late August.

Although Yinsi had been procrastinating for several days, he still held his nose and sent someone to pick up Wu Meishi Tai from his mansion.

At the time of parting, Nun Wumei came to her two senior brothers and asked them:

"Big Brother, Fifth Junior Brother, I have to obey the Fourth Prince's orders, but my disciple is too young to be taken to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. The Fourth Prince said that he would let her serve the First Lady, but I am afraid that she will offend the nobles in the mansion with her rough hands and feet. Please take good care of her on weekdays!"

"Don't worry, Junior Sister!"

Zen Masters Baimei and Daode agreed to Master Wumei's request, regardless of whether they meant it sincerely or not.

After all, after the three of them defected to the Fourth Beile, Baimei and Daode had not received any tasks, but Wumei was the first to be reused.

Seeing that the two men agreed to take care of him, Wu Mei asked his apprentice Yan Yongchun to kowtow to them to express his gratitude, thus entrusting him with the care of them.

Following her master's instruction, Yim Wing Chun kowtowed to her two uncles and then stood respectfully by their side.

After Master Wu Mei left, Yan Yongchun followed the instructions and went to the place where the legitimate wife Rou Ze took orders.

He was also planning to marry Niuhuru Lanxin, so there was a shortage of staff in the mansion.

Rou Ze learned that Yan Yongchun's master, Master Wu Mei, was trusted by men, so she naturally looked up to Yan Yongchun. She assigned several tasks to Yan Yongchun, and seeing that she handled them well, she gradually handed over some of the errands to her.

Yim Wing Chun is not very old, she is only fifteen years old this year, but her family circumstances have changed dramatically since she was young. She is mature in character, gentle to others, and rigorous in her work.

Even though the first wife Rouze trusted her greatly, Yan Yongchun's work style remained methodical and meticulous.

Within a few days, all the masters in the mansion began to praise her.

On this day, Su Mingzhe was working in his study, and Rou Ze brought Yan Yongchun to discuss the wedding invitation list.

In Prince Zhen's mansion, it has always been men dealing with external affairs and women dealing with internal affairs.

The affairs of the mansion and the interpersonal relationships are basically handled by the legitimate wife Rouze.

However, recently Su Mingzhe often brings some unfamiliar officials home, and Rouze is a little unsure which ones should be invited and which ones should not be invited, so she came to ask for advice.

Su Mingzhe took the list, added a lot of people, deleted a few people, and explained to Rouze what was going on.

After the two confirmed the list, Rou Ze suddenly praised Yan Yongchun and said:
"Silang, Wing Chun is a very steady girl. I like her very much. I want to enlist her in the army and keep her by my side to serve me. What do you think?" Su Mingzhe looked at Yan Yongchun, thinking that she would disagree.

After all, in his opinion, warriors are all brave men, and following their master to join the Qing court can be considered as "sleeping on straw and tasting gall" and "making compromises".

But if you join the banner, it would really be what the Han people call "recognizing an enemy as your father."

When Su Mingzhe looked towards Yan Yongchun, he saw that the girl was standing there with her hands behind her back, her face calm, her eyes gentle as water, and she looked as if she was ready to obey orders.

Su Mingzhe thought about it for a moment and then figured it out.

Before leaving, Master Wu Mei asked Yan Yongchun to be loyal to her and obey any orders she gave.

In this era, people always believe that "once a teacher, always a father."

Since Master Wu Mei asked Yan Yongchun to follow her arrangements, Yan Yongchun would not resist.

As for why she did not feel humiliated, it was probably because Yim Wing Chun was just a 15-year-old girl and had no feelings about the hatred between the Manchus and the Han people.

After figuring out these principles, Su Mingzhe immediately smiled and said:

"You can handle this matter as you wish. When the time comes, I will just pass a note to my fifth brother!"

Kangxi's sons each had their own responsibilities.

The prince is now walking in the South Study.

The eldest prince led troops outside the Great Wall.

Su Mingzhe is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

The third prince Yinzhi, the fifth prince Yinqi, the eighth prince Yinsi, and the thirteenth prince Yinxiang all worked in the Imperial Household Department.

The seventh prince Yinyou assisted the Ministry of Rites.

The ninth prince Yinzhen assisted the Ministry of Justice.

The tenth prince assisted in the Dali Temple.

The fourteenth prince studied under Kangxi.

Among the princes in the Imperial Household Department, the fifth prince Yinqi is considered to be the most honest. He would never run around unless he has nothing to do on weekdays.

If you have any matters concerning the Imperial Household Department, just leave it to him and it will definitely be the right thing to do.

"Then let's go back first."

Seeing that the man agreed, Rouze took Yan Yongchun back to her own yard.

A few days later, it was September.

Great meeting.

After everyone shouted "Long live" three times in unison.

Li Dequan shouted as usual:

"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"

"I have this note!"

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked over and saw a dusty, dark-skinned man walking out of the courtiers with a solemn look:
"Your Majesty, I have a report to tell you that the Junggar tribe is colluding with Lazang Khan and intends to rebel!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

You know, just five or six years ago, Kangxi personally led his troops to defeat the Dzungar tribe and killed the Dzungar Khan Galdan.

It’s only been a few years, and the Junggar tribe has revived again?

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, his eyes shining like phoenixes, scanning the ministers in the hall to see their reactions.

After a while, he spoke:

"Send the memorial up!"

At this time, everyone had recognized the man who made the speech. It was Zhang Tingyu who was sent to the plateau two months ago.
