The ninth elder brother didn't bother me anymore. He just wanted to try it. If it worked, it would be fine. If it didn't work, let the tenth elder brother have a memory.
Kangxi put down the two apology papers, looked at the two of them, and said: "Take a rest for a long time, and start working hard tomorrow..."
Having said this, he looked at Brother Jiu with disgust and said: "You are not allowed to ride in the car anymore. Why are you so squeamish?"
Thinking about the time when we came back from Baiwang Mountain yesterday, the tenth, thirteenth and fourteenth elders were all riding horses, but only the ninth elder got into his Fujin's carriage in a blink of an eye, without even having time to stop him.
What does it look like?
If things continued like this, Kangxi felt that he would have to think about giving the ninth elder brother a lift and go back to the study to learn riding and shooting again with the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Then son, go there early tomorrow to avoid being exposed to the sun..."
Kangxi snorted lightly and said nothing else.
It doesn’t mean that Brother Jiu has to be exposed to the sun. In that case, if he suffers from heat stroke, he will have to find an excuse to ask for leave again.
"Okay, let's kneel down..."
Kangxi put down his words and said.
It is not appropriate for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make drastic rectifications, but they will not be allowed to continue like this.
It is necessary to find a suitable person to take charge of the Yushi Yamen and the Shenxing Department.
I just don’t have a suitable candidate at the moment, so I have to look again.
The two brothers responded and withdrew.
Just at the door of Qingxi Bookstore, I saw a guard bringing Qi Xi over.
"father in law……"
Brother Jiu took two steps forward and said, "Why are you here? Is this a summons from Khan Amma?"
Qi Xixian bowed and said: "Ninth Master, Tenth Master..."
Then, he replied to Brother Jiu and said: "It is indeed the emperor who summoned..."
Brother Jiu wanted to ask more questions, but Liang Jiugong had already come out to call for help.
Brother Ninth waited for half a quarter of an hour, but no one came out, and then he and Brother Ten went out of the small east gate.
He thought for a while and said to the tenth prince: "Khan Ama seems to be interested in Heishan, but Heishan has already opened an account and is no longer a member of the household. Do you still need to say hello to your father-in-law?"
Brother Ten shook his head and said: "Maybe there are other things. If we use Montenegro, now that I am working for Brother Ninth, Khan Ama should mention it directly to Brother Ninth."
Brother Jiu frowned slightly and said: "I know it's a pity for Heishan to be a bodyguard, but at this age, he is about to be a man in his fifties. Do he still have to be arranged to be a bodyguard in Qianqing Palace in front of the emperor?"
For young people, that may be an honor; but as we get older, it is also hard for the gatekeepers to stand guard.
Brother 10 couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Ninth, you are overthinking. Even if Khan Ama thinks that the Black Mountain Guards are good, he would not think of being transferred to his side as a front guard..."
The sword-wielding bodyguards in front of the emperor cannot do anything but confidants.
No matter how brave Montenegro is, his resume is too complicated. The descendants of Zhenglan Banner rebels were given to the Dong E family of Zhenghong Banner to be slaves for half their lives.
If you are not from Shangsanqi, don't even think about being an imperial guard.
Brother Jiu said: "If it's not about Montenegro, then what is it for?"
He couldn't guess.
Brother Ten could not figure out the reason for a moment.

Qingxi Bookstore.
Qi Xi came in to greet him, and Kangxi sat down.
Qi Xi sat halfway down next to the stool, with a look of anxiety on his face.
Is it related to flag affairs?
The deputy commander-in-chief, Faka, was transferred to Xianghongqi as the deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria. The deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria, the deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria, was vacant.
But isn’t the selection of the Vice-President a matter of the Sacred Heart’s arbitrary decision?
Earlier, the candidates for the capital and deputy capital were selected from the banner, but later it was changed to the left and right wings. Now there is no distinction between the left and right wings.
The title of Dutong and Deputy Dutong is no longer the responsibility of the banner, and there is no longer any division of flag status.
There is still hope for the next generation of the Dong E family to become the capital and vice-capital again; but it may be difficult for the next generation to become the capital and vice-capital of Zhenghongqi.
Everyone saw that the emperor was interfering in flag affairs and weakening the flag power of the five flag owners, but no one complained.
The emperor has become the true co-leader of the Eight Banners.
Maybe it's a private matter, Brother Ninth got into trouble again?
Seeing Qi Xi like this, Kangxi couldn't help but laugh and said: "My dear, don't be nervous. I sent you here because I want to ask you about the bow."
Middle tip bow...
This name was a bit confusing. Qi Xi thought about it for a while before he realized it and said with embarrassment: "This is Jiu Fujin's name when he was young. It has been more than ten years and I can't even remember it."
Kangxi said with a straight face: "Why are you so stupid? Since you have improved the bow and arrow, why don't you want to report to the Ministry of War?"
Qi Xi hurriedly stood up and said with some caution: "Your Majesty, that is a child's bow. It is just like a child's toy. It was made by listening to the childish words of Jiufujin children. It was wrong here and picky there. The slaves modified it randomly. Although it was enlarged later.
I made a five-power bow, but it can’t compare with the power of the Qing bow!”
Since ancient times, the only way to improve weapons is to replace the weak with the strong. How can there be any reason to replace the strong with the weak?
Kangxi said with a hint of sadness on his face: "The Eight Banners have been abandoned for too long. They are different from the Eight Banners before they entered the Pass. Only archers can shoot the eight-power bows that were popular in the Eight Banners army before. Everyone else has bows with less than seven powers...
…”
The power of the bow is related to the strength of the flagmen. Nowadays, there are many people who have insufficient strength and find it difficult to use the bow. Many flagmen have even given up riding and shooting.
The common people of the Eight Banners sent their children to Bi Ding Phi Jia, mostly for money and food.
"We can't just let them go to waste..."
At this point, Kangxi was already melancholy: "Since it is difficult to get started with the Qing bow, we should replace it with an improved bow. We cannot allow them to relax in force."
Qi Xi listened, his expression unchanged, but he felt strange in his heart.
In this way, even if you practice, your combat power cannot be compared with the past. Why do you feel that you are deceiving yourself and others?
If we want the Eight Banners to regain their fighting power, why not promote weapons that are better than the Qing Bow, such as muskets?
But there was shame on his face, and he said: "I am really stupid, I didn't think of this."
Kangxi pondered and said: "Since you know your mistake, I will leave this matter to you, cooperate with the Ministry of War to make new bows, and promote the new bows among the new members of the Zhenghong Banner."
Qi Xi responded respectfully.
Kangxi thought of Heishan, and said: "Since I am an old soldier who is good at shooting, it would be a pity to be a bodyguard of the palace. I will reward him with a fourth-grade crown, walk with the flag, and promote new bows..."
Heishan is now a second-class royal guard, starting from the fourth rank.
This is a step up.
After Qi Xi heard this, he did not respond immediately, but said: "Your Majesty, the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion..."
The rest seemed to be all young, and no one was mature.
It's okay for a young guard to be on duty, but it's also uneasy.
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "I will choose the right person to come over."
Qi Xi then agreed and retreated after receiving the order.
Kangxi couldn't help but laugh, he was such a good father-in-law, and he was afraid that his ninth elder brother would suffer a loss.
I used Jiu Age alone, so I reminded myself to make up for Jiu Age.
She really loves her daughter.
He remembered what Concubine Yi had said yesterday. Princess Kejing couldn't delay it any longer. If she had nothing to do in the afternoon, he would summon the Princess to see her.
If the prince-in-law really despises the princess, then he can reward him with the title of Khan, or he can take it off.
Kangxi was also a man, so he could probably guess what his consort was thinking.
Although the three tribes of Khalkha are included in the above list, they are different from Monan Mongolia in that they retained the title of Khan King and the imperial court did not send officials there.
A few years ago, the Tuxietu tribe took advantage of the civil strife in the Zasaktu tribe and occupied the territory of Zasaktu Khan. Later, when they learned that Zasaktu Khan was preparing for war and wanted to attack Tuxietu, they took the initiative and raided the area.
Galdan colluded with Zasaktu Khan and killed Galdan's envoys. This was the reason why Galdan conquered Khalkha and launched the "War of Revenge".
The three Khalkha tribes took refuge southward and were completely enclosed.
After the Junggars were destroyed and the three Khalkha tribes regained their lost territory, the Tuxie Tu tribe still had the largest territory and the most people.
Tushetu Khan was the uncrowned king of Khalkha.
The prince-in-law succeeded King Khan, and he is still young. Who knows what his relationship with the imperial court will be like in the future.
Kangxi had to rethink how to deal with the Tuxie Tubu who had changed the Khan King.
At this moment, it was time to eat, and the people from the garden kitchen came to serve the meal.
When the royal meal was put on the table, Kangxi glanced at the special dishes on the table and no longer wanted to touch Kuaizi.
He read it once, pointed to a dish of lily and bacon porridge, and told Liang Jiugong: "Reward Concubine Yi..."
Then he pointed to another dish of stir-fried tofu with garlic sprouts and said: "Fei Hui..."
Liang Jiugong responded and did not leave immediately. As expected, Kangxi pointed to another Sixi Shaomai and said: "Reward and concubine..."
Liang Jiugong took the young eunuch with him and went to enjoy the vegetables with his food box.
Kangxi took a few bites and then thought of Concubine Yi.
The seventeenth elder brother was already four years old. Concubine Yi regarded him as her own and took care of him for three years.
He couldn't bear the separation of mother and son.
However, the seventeenth and eighteenth elder brothers are too close in age, with only two years apart, so it takes a lot of effort to take care of them.
Kangxi remembered the Queen Mother's words that Concubine Shuhui wanted to raise Princess.
Seventeenth Brother is already four years old. He was brought up by Concubine Yi to be well-behaved and sensible. As long as he survives the vaccination, he will be considered successful.
In that case, in another year and a half, the seventeenth elder brother will be able to move into the study room.
Kangxi thought of the joy of yesterday's trip and decided to wait until the seventeenth elder brother got vaccinated before talking about it...

North Fifth House, main room.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu were on the left and right, sitting beside Qi Xi.
It turned out that when Qi Xi retreated from the imperial palace and came out of the small east gate, He Yuzhu was waiting outside the small east gate.
Although the Prince's Mansion is not far from the Dutong Mansion, because Shu Shu was in confinement before, the father and daughter talked about it, so they had not seen each other for a while.
Seeing the precious girl, Qi Xi couldn't help but frown and said, "You're too thin. How can this be done? Amma asked someone to order ten cows from outside the country, and one will be sent to Beijing in the next month..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this, and said: "Amma, don't give up one animal a month, just ask people to send it to you, and raise it directly in the village. There are many things over there and there are not enough manpower. How about a few more oxen to pull the plow?"
Just right."
After hearing this, Qi Xi disapproved and said, "That's for you to eat. It would be too eye-catching to keep it in Zhuangzi."
Shu Shu said: "My daughter has eaten hundreds of kilograms of beef in the past six months. She doesn't want to eat it for the time being. She doesn't like chewing it anymore because she grinds her teeth. Now she likes to eat mutton and pork..."
Qi Xi didn't hesitate and said: "Okay, okay, if you don't like it, don't eat it now. I'll ask someone to take it to the capital together later. Then Ama will order sheep for you next time. I want lambs for half a year. As for Zhuangzi, you
If there is a shortage of manpower, choose a few more people from home to come over..."
