Chapter 625

After Zhang Penghu withdrew, Zhenwu also stood up and walked leisurely in the hall for two leisurely. Seeing that no one handed over a sign to ask for a meeting, he couldn't help but sigh in relief. It seemed that the princes and nobles, the ministers of Manchu were indeed worried and did not dare to come to give advice. He pondered slightly and left the Ganqing Palace.

When Dachun and several other guards in front of the imperial guards saw that he had not changed his casual clothes, they knew that he was not going out of the palace, so they followed slowly. Bao Fuquan followed closely and saw him leaving the Ganqing Sect and passing through the Longzong Sect, heading south. He couldn't help but wonder where the master wanted to go? He hurried a few steps and tentatively said, "Your Majesty, are you taking the casual carriage?"

Zhenwu said without looking back: "No, go to Xian'an Palace, there are not a few steps."

Go to Xian'an Palace? Is the emperor going to visit the deposed crown prince Yinreng? Bao Fuquan quickly whispered to the little eunuch to inform him.

The Xian'an Palace was very strict. Kangxi arranged for a group of princes and nobles from the clan mansion to take charge of the guards. After Zhenwu ascended the throne, there was no change in this regard. The one who was on the rotation of Dorobel Mandu was just now. He learned that his third brother Haishan was promoted to the prince. He was sighing in his heart that the third brother was lucky, so he heard that Zhenwu was coming to Xian'an Palace.

Thinking of the promotion of Yinreng's second son by Zhenwu in the morning, he realized that Zhenwu must have entered Xian'an Palace, and hurriedly ordered the people from the Interior Department to come in and notify Yinreng to prepare for the welcome.

Although Yinreng was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, his treatment was basically the same as that of Yuqing Palace. In addition to the legitimate concubine Shi family, he also imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, there were nine concubines, three concubines, several women without status, young children, numerous eunuchs and palace maids.

Kangxi was quite fond of father and son for him. Not only did he not reduce his treatment, he also often rewarded various seasonal fruits and items. The ice cubes that cooled down in summer have never been in short supply.

Since learning that Zhenwu ascended the throne, Yinreng has completely given up. He has no idea except hoping that Zhenwu can keep his promise and let him go overseas. He is very bored every day, so he is busy creating people. He imprisoned Xian'an Palace for three years and has three sons and two daughters.

The most important thing to pass the time is reading books. Every day, Yinreng was looking at the large Kunyu map on the wall and staring at the map of Wanguo on the wall. Today is no exception. After reading a while, he stood in front of the Kunyu map of Wanguo map, staring at the Persian Gulf in a daze. Since the old fourteenth ascended the throne, he has gone for a long time and has no idea when he will get out of this cage.

Just as he was sighing secretly, Qin Chu, the eunuch in charge of Xian'an Palace, rushed to the door and said on the spot: "Master, the emperor is here to visit the master."

The fourteenth brother came? Yinreng suddenly turned around and asked anxiously: "Who delivered the news?"

"I'm the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Qin Chu was excited in his voice, and he bowed and said, "Congratulations to the master. Congratulations to the master, I just found out the news that the emperor has promoted the Second Master to the Prince of the morning court today."

Yinreng took a deep breath. It seemed that Lao Shisi had not broken his promise. He finally had to wait for this day. Soon, he calmed down and said calmly: "What are you doing on your knees? Go and notify them to prepare for the welcome and let me change my clothes."

As soon as the news of Zhenwu coming to Xian'an Palace to visit and Hongxi's promotion to Prince spread, the entire Xian'an Palace was immediately busy from top to bottom. Everyone could not hide the joy on their faces. Everyone knew in their hearts that the imprisoned son would probably end soon.

The gate of Xian'an Palace slowly opened. Yinreng saw Zhenwu wearing a dragon robe and a dragon jacket among the guards. The guards' heads were huddled in front of the gate without moving. His eyes stopped on the dragon robe for a moment, then quickly moved away and immediately rushed out.

When he arrived in front of Zhenwu, he knelt down without hesitation. He said in a deep voice: "The sinner Yinreng welcomes the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" As he said that, he knelt three times and nine times.

After the ceremony was finished, Zhenwu reached out and helped him up and said lightly: "Prince, please get up."

Yinreng got up and bowed and gave in and said, "Please, Master." Zhenwu smiled slightly and stepped into Xian'an Palace. As soon as he entered the gate, the eunuchs on both sides of Hou Li knelt neatly. Shi and his concubines also welcomed them to worship. After the ceremony, he and Yinreng entered the main hall.

Zhenwu sat down in the main seat and then smiled and said with a smile: "The emperor brother doesn't have to be polite, sit down."

After hearing these extremely clichéd words, Yinreng couldn't help but feel sad and quickly calmed down. After thanking him, he calmly sat down. Zhenwu then said: "Although I was busy with state affairs after ascending the throne, I would not be able to take time to visit my brother. It was the navy who conquered Europe and the United States. I could not withdraw troops to go to Persia. I hope the brother would forgive me."

Seeing that Zhenwu was so calm, Yinreng couldn't help but be happy. Lao Sisi meant that he could withdraw his troops now. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The crimes are not allowed to be forgiven. The emperor came to visit him and was grateful. How dare he feel resentful?"

Zhenwu smiled slightly, but stopped talking. Yinreng couldn't figure out his purpose. After pondering for a moment, he tentatively said: "Are you ready to use troops against Persia?"

Shaking his head slightly, Zhen Wucai said: "This year, he still cannot draw troops to Persia."

Yinreng's news is not blocked. He can see every issue of the Beijing News and basically knows the major events that happened in the capital, but it is only a later time to know. When Zhenwu said that he would conquer Africa this year, he was slightly stunned and was very disappointed. Since he could not withdraw his troops, wouldn't he still have to continue to ban it? What is the purpose of Lao Si's arrival this time? Could it be that he would let him go again?

Seeing Yinreng speechless, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile and said, "Second brother, don't have to suspect that the Persian Gulf, I am determined to win. Although I still can't draw troops, the route from the Qing Dynasty to Persia and Arabia must be opened this year."

After hearing this, Yinreng couldn't help but be happy. Since he wanted to open a route, it means that the conquest of Persia was not far away. He immediately woke up and hurriedly said tentatively: "Does the emperor want to arrange for people to go with the merchant ship to fight the front war?"

Zhenwu nodded slightly. Since the South China Sea Fleet robbed the Netherlands and British merchant ships, the maritime trade between the Qing Dynasty and Europe has dropped sharply, forcing him to speed up the opening of Persia and Arab routes. He pondered slightly and said, "You are the main ones to conquer Persia. Do you have the candidates to fight the former war?"

Yinreng has been the crown prince for more than 30 years, so how could there be no one under his command? He did not doubt that he was there at the moment and said without hesitation: "Go back to the emperor, I will write to them immediately."

"I'll give up if I write a letter." Zhenwu smiled and said, "Don't live in Xian'an Palace. I chose a house for you in Beicheng and move it over. Your title will be promoted when you leave the capital." After a slight pause, he continued, "You have a lot of grievances in the capital and go out for less time, so you can avoid another problem."

The ban was lifted! Yinreng was immediately very happy, and hurriedly got up and left his seat, knelt down and kowtowed, "The sinners thanked the emperor for his kindness."

"Get up and sit back and reply." Zhenwu said lightly: "The second brother has also read the classics and history well. Looking at all the dynasties, the deposed prince has no good results. I am concerned about my brotherhood and family affection, and I also can't bear to be able to raise my head forever. I hope my second brother will not disappoint me."

After hearing this, Yinreng did not dare to get up, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The emperor is generous and kind, and the criminals will definitely change their minds, follow the rules, and do their best to open up the territory for the Qing Dynasty, and never have the same intention."

Zhenwu said with a slight chin: "I have solved Persia, and I promise you to have a ban on overseas."

Overseas franchise! Yinreng was cheered up and he still had the opportunity to have the overseas franchise in his life! He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The kindness of heaven is so great that I cannot repay you, but I will be loyal to the Qing Dynasty for generations."

"Flat." Zhenwu then smiled and said, "What do you think of the Northwest?"

Northwest? Yinreng was slightly stunned. What does Lao Sisi mean? How did he ask about the northwest? He wanted to use troops to the northwest? But what does this have to do with him? Persia is high and the emperor is far away. Without the permission of the navy, it is difficult to return to the Qing Dynasty. Lao Sisi threw himself to Persia, which was very relieved. The northwest was vast and there was no firmness to defend. He could not let himself lead his troops to the northwest. What does this mean?

He didn't dare to think too much, and after thinking for a moment, he said carefully: "Return to the emperor, the northwest Junggar tribe has repeatedly launched a rebellion. Although Galdan died, the Qing Dynasty did not effectively control the Junggar tribe. After Cewang Alaband succeeded to Taiji, he resigned and paid tribute and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

However, I personally think that Cewang Alab’s move is just a temporary measure. The Junggar tribe has always been ambitious. Once its strength is strong, it will inevitably expand from all directions again and must be strictly prevented."

Zhenwu glanced at him with approval before asking slowly: "Do you know the geographical location of the Junggar tribe?"

In recent years, Yinreng has often been dazed by Kunyu Wanguotu, and is very familiar with the situation in Central Asia. He replied without hesitation: "Back to the emperor, the Junggar tribe borders Tsarist Russia in the north, the Kazakh Khanate in the north, the Bukhara Khanate in the north, and the Mughal Empire in the south." Speaking of this, he had already vaguely guessed Zhenwu's intentions, and was immediately surprised and happy.

The Bukhara Khanate borders Persia. Zhenwu started from the Persian Gulf, hoping to attack Junggar, Bukhara, and Kazakhstan from the northwest and southwest directions, and swallow up this vast land comparable to the Qing Dynasty's territory in one bite. This appetite is really scary. What he said two years ago is just a joke.

Seeing that Yinreng was very familiar with the situation in Central Asia, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel satisfied. After pondering slightly, he said in a deep voice: "Zhonggar has been recuperating for more than ten years, and his strength is comparable to that of Galdan's heyday. Moreover, they are still secretly colluding with Tsarist Russia, but in fact it has become a trouble for the Qing Dynasty. If it is not eliminated for a day, I will be uneasy for a day.

The reason for occupying the Persian Gulf is not only to ensure that the Qing Dynasty and Persia and Arab trade are not disturbed, but also to use Persia and the Bukhara Khanate to attack the Junggar. Whether it can be implemented depends on how big the second brother can make." (To be continued)
