Kangxi could not see that Brother Nine was planning a "business trip" at this time because he was just having fun and wanted to go out for fun.
I'm just not smart enough. How can I run outside the customs in winter?
It's bitter cold outside the Pass.
At this time of year, if you want to go out, you have to go south.
The vegetation in Jiangnan has not withered and is full of vitality.
Kangxi recalled what he saw and heard during his southern tour last year.
The first few southern tours lasted a long time, and I will still have to look for opportunities to go there a few more times in the future.
When the time comes, just bring Ninth Brother with you so that you don’t have to make excuses every time.
Kangxi felt a little guilty.
Compared with other princes, the number of times that Ninth Prince has accompanied his retinue is indeed very few.
He was in a low mood, and Liang Jiugong got up on the bed next to him. It seemed that the Ministry of War still wanted people to keep an eye on him. If there is a letter from Master Jiu, don't delay.
He then sent the young eunuch to the Ministry of War to say hello to the chariot driver, and a letter from the ninth elder brother was sent directly to the Qianqing Palace.
Fortunately, the next evening, the Ministry of War sent a letter.
The Qianqing Palace has already lighted the lamp, but the meal has not yet been handed out.
Liang Jiugong directly presented Brother Jiu's letter and said: "Your Majesty, this is from the chariot driver. Lord Jiu's letter was sent from the palace yesterday morning."
The letter was bulging, and with it came a large linoleum parcel.
Kangxi did not look at it immediately, but asked: "Besides me, how many letters has Brother Jiu sent to the capital?"
Liang Jiugong shook his head and said, "I just handed over a letter."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows, it must be peaceful, there is no disturbance and unrest everywhere.
After reading the letter and seeing the detailed description from above, Kangxi really took it into consideration.
He also looked at the map of the canyon.
This was painted by Cao Yueying himself. It looks simple, but the distribution of various hot springs and rivers is also detailed.
He also read two analyzes by Zhang Tingzhan and Cao Yueying on the location of the hot spring palace.
Kangxi originally preferred the Kalahe Tun Palace. The palace is the wind outlet, with vast grasslands to the north and rolling hills to the east.
In the early years when Mulan was on the siege, he also stayed here for a few days in the palace to escape the heat.
I knew there were mountain canyons here before, but I didn't expect it to be a peach blossom land that is unknown to the world.
Brother Jiu was still very attentive. Because of the Xiaotangshan Palace, he thought that the summer palace should also have hot springs, so he decided to travel along the way. The steward of the palace reported the distribution of hot springs nearby, and finally heard about Rehe.
This location is excellent, next to the Mulan Paddock. I really want to build a summer garden to escape the noise and listen to politics, and even arrange an audience with the Mongolian princes.
He asked Liang Jiugong to open the package, and a strong fishy smell came to him.
Kangxi got off the kang and looked at the intact tiger skin with a bit of disgust.
Just as Brother Jiu boasted in his letter, it was a rare intact tiger skin.
It was a half-size male tiger, its golden-yellow skin with brown stripes looked shiny.
Kangxi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Collect it and send it to Piku to be salted and stored in the warehouse."
Liang Jiugong agreed, rolled up the tiger skin and carried it in his arms.
Kangxi sniffed and told Wei Zhu, "Open the window to disperse the smell."
Wei Zhu hurriedly responded and went over to open the window, leaving a one-inch gap.
The night breeze comes in, making the room feel cooler.
Wei Zhu took some agarwood and lit it.
Kangxi had already returned to the kang and hesitated for a moment when he read Brother Jiu's letter.
Here I asked for instructions on two things, the location of the palace and the placement of the twenty Mongolian families.
Kangxi thought about it and wrote a reply. The address of the palace has not been finalized yet. When he visits the north next year, he wants to go and have a look in person and ask for the opinions of the Qintian Prison.
As for the resettlement of the Mongols, as Brother Jiu said, they can be placed under the Ministry of Internal Affairs as horse herders.
The tiger skin is good, and whoever shoots the tiger will be rewarded with gold.
In addition, the weather is getting colder and the river water is starting to freeze. Brother Ninth Brother should not stay outside for a long time, but prepare to return to Beijing to avoid worrying about the elders...

Karahe Tun Palace.
Brother Jiu was pinching his fingers and talking to Shu Shu about the rice in the kitchen.
Two days later, after killing pigs and sheep, they had a lot of meat, and there were still 300 jins of rice left from 600 jins.
"We have to eat like this tomorrow. I think everyone will be injured..."
Brother Jiu thought about the news from He Yuzhu and felt a little sick.
The huts inside and outside the palace were not enough, so Cao Shun asked people to temporarily build another one outside the palace.
If you eat too much of this oil and water, you may have diarrhea or constipation. Anyway, there will be more people running to the toilet and more people squatting in the pit.
"It's time to arrive in Erhe. If we go back in the afternoon, we'll be there tomorrow night..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu thought of Princess Duanjing, who was also considered an alternative among princesses.
To be honest, some of the characters before Jiugege were quiet and elegant.
That is to say, this place is close to the capital, so I won't be bullied, otherwise it would be really worrying.
When I looked at my husband-in-law the year before last, I always felt that he was a little more sophisticated and a little less upright than the average Mongolian.
Maybe it’s because Haraqin is half-farming and half-grazing?
In this case, the princess and the prince-in-law have a common language, but they don't seem to be very intimate.
Perhaps the princess is reserved and not as generous and cheerful as Princess Chunxi and Princess Rongxian.
This is a Mongolian post station, which was built under the order of Emperor Kangxi thirty-one years later.
On weekdays, he conveys the imperial decrees and arranges the officials from the Lifan Yuan who are on duty for the new year.
Although Erhe did not come from the capital, he was of high rank and an official of the imperial court, so he was placed here.
He set out from the palace yesterday morning and arrived at the Kalaqin tribe at noon today. He went directly to the gate of the princess's house and communicated inside, but the result was that the princess was recovering from illness and did not see any guests.
Erhe sensed something was wrong.
If the princess is not seeing guests for the time being, she should arrange for her nanny or the princess's palace chief to come out and ask for details.
Mammy, Chang Shi didn’t show up, so where are the guards at the princess’s house?
With the emperor's grace, he allowed the eldest princess to be cared for, and the princess opened a mansion, and Princess Duanjing was no exception.
The appointed second-class guards and third-class guards were all paid by the imperial court, and the princess selected them from among the ten Manchurians from the dowry family.
He directly revealed his identity and said that he was a guard of the Prince's Mansion.
Even if the princess is ill, she should not be so negligent.
At the worst, the guards of the princess palace should come forward.
As a result, I waited at the station all afternoon, but there was no movement at the Princess Mansion, and no one was arranged to come from the adjacent Ehuang Mansion.
I asked someone to ask, and they said that my husband-in-law had gone to Kazuo Banner and was not here.
Food has been prepared here at the station, which is steamed buns and mutton soup.
Everyone ate.
Erhe called the station director directly and asked: "When did the princess start to get sick? Why didn't anyone report to the capital?"
The webmaster was confused for a while and said, "Maybe he just got sick!"
Erhe looked at the man and said seriously: "You are receiving money from the imperial court. You should know who is your master!"
This man was selected by the Mengba Banner from the capital as a foreign mission. Although he had no rank, since he was in Monan and received a double salary, it was considered a good job.
But if you really don't think you are a member of the imperial court and can't tell the difference between distance and distance, then the station director will be in trouble.
There was confusion on the man's face.
Erhe said: "This is Monan Mongolia. It is directly connected to the official road from the capital. It can be reached by horseback in two days. You have to think carefully. If my brother-in-law is really disrespectful, you will be killed and will not go to the court." Report it, go back and report it to the Princess Mansion, do you still have yours?"
The man's face turned pale as expected, and after a while he said: "Sir, my place is at the head of the town and the other at the end of the town, five or six miles away from the princess's mansion. The news is really not as convenient as there. Listen, The information received may not be accurate.”
Erhe said with a straight face: "What did you hear? Say what you said. The authenticity of the news will be judged by the superiors!"
He was born in a palace, and Cheng Ding had been working as an errand in the palace. He just had a smile, but looked less majestic. Now he imitated the daily demeanor of the ninth elder brother, which really scared that person.
The man hurriedly said: "Sir, please show your respect and spare me once. That's what I'm saying..."
It turns out that a few days ago, on October 13th, the day of the Gold Awarding Festival, something happened at the Princess Mansion.
In the past, the Princess's Mansion and the Prince Consort's Mansion were adjacent to each other, but they formed their own system.
Here in the Princess Mansion, most of the staff employed are dowries.
On the other side of Ehuang's mansion, there are the slaves of Ehuang's family.
The water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river.
They were quite loving in the early years, and the princess also had a daughter and a son one after another, but then the couple became somewhat estranged.
"There are many female slaves in the Prince-in-law's Mansion, as well as the housekeeper's concubine Fujin. The princess doesn't care..."
"In the spring of this year, one of the guards in the princess's palace died of illness, so a new guard was hired. His name is Erdun. He is only sixteen years old. I heard that he is very valued by the princess. He often stays by her side to talk, but some bad words come out... "
"When we heard this, we all knew that this was something unreasonable. The princess is so rich and valuable, and she is surrounded by nannies and maids. How could she be separated from someone else? But for some reason, these words became more and more sinister and scary..."
"On the day of the Gold Awarding Festival, banquets were held at the Princess's Mansion and the Prince's Consort's Mansion. I heard that the Prince's Consort went to the Princess' Mansion after being drunk and asked someone to beat Erdun. After that, the gate of the Princess' Mansion was closed, and there was no news. After coming out, the princess never showed up again..."
