Xianfu Palace is one of the six palaces in the west of the inner court. It is west of Chuxiu Palace. Although it is a bit remote, it is the place where Zhenwu goes most often. Not only does Qipin Zhang Mengjiao live in Xianfu Palace, but the most favored Zhou Roujia, who is recently popular, also lives in it. In the palace, all status and status are secondary. The emperor's favor is the most real. If he is favored by the emperor, he is still worried that he has no status or status?

Because Zhenwu visited many times, although Xianfu Palace was a bit off, it was no longer as quiet as it was back then. The most snobbish eunuchs dared not neglect the trivial matters of Xianfu Palace. They can be said to be in charge of everything, and they allocate all the best materials, and they often exceed the amount. The most tight charcoal in winter is even more open to supply.

Qipin Zhang Mengjiao is very smart and knows the truth that flowers are not red for a hundred days. She does not favor them but beautify them. She strives to win over the empress and concubines. She takes great care of Zhou Roujia, the new favorite who lives in Xianfu Palace. She knows that the Zhenwu general Zhou Roujia means to take care of her.

In the warmth of Xianfu Palace, which is as warm as spring, Zhang Mengjiao had a casual chat with Zhou Roujia, who was sewing clothes for her dog while drinking tea. She was a new nobleman who was several years younger than her, gentle and innocent, and likes to raise birds and dogs and other pets. Moreover, once Zhenwu stayed in Xianfu Palace, she liked to pull her and be sleepy together. Because of this inhumane reason, the relationship between the two became closer.

"Master, Eunuch Wang is here." Zixia, the personal palace maid, came in and reported to Wanfu.

When Zhang Mengjiao heard the eunuch beside Zhenwu came, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Please hurry up."

"I wish you a blessing to Concubine Qi and a blessing to Concubine Zhou." As soon as the young eunuch Wang Hong came in, he easily stabbed Qian'er, stood up and continued, "Congratulations to Empress, the emperor sent the slave to spread the word and eat in Xianfu Palace."

After hearing Zhenwu came over for dinner, Zhang Mengjiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, Zixia, see the gift."

"Prefer to Concubine Xie Qi." Wang Hong bowed with a smile.

Wang Hong retreated. Zhang Mengjiao looked at Zhou Roujia and smiled and said, "Roujia, what do you want to eat?"

Zhou Roujia turned her head and thought for a while before saying, "Eat hot pot, the emperor also likes it. I like mutton hotpot."

"Be careful to get fat for you." Zhang Mengjiao smiled and stood up. She said, "Sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

Zhou Roujia wrinkled her nose and chuckled, "I'm not afraid of being fat, but my sister should pay attention."

"Okay. How dare I say that I am fat? Looking back at how I dealt with you." Zhang Mengjiao laughed and lifted the curtain.

Zhang Mengjiao and Zhou Roujia were happy in vain. Zhenwu broke the appointment. As soon as he left the Qianqing Palace, he received a report. Prince Yi, Yinxiang, was handing out a sign to ask for a meeting. Yinxiang was in charge of the Ministry of War and was responsible for the recruitment of new recruits. Zhenwu naturally would not be negligent. He immediately turned back to the western warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace, thinking about why Yinxiang came.

Yinxiang came quickly, and after coming in, he knelt down and said, "My minister Yinxiang respectfully invites the emperor to the holy care of the emperor."

Zhenwu smiled and said, "Don't give him a seat."

After thanking him, Yinxiang did not sit down, but glanced at him and saw that there were no daily officials and eunuchs in the hall. He took out two sealed bamboo pipes: "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have received a pigeon letter from Rehe."

Gexin from Rehe? Zhenwu couldn't help but frowned slightly. Kangxi's condition changed? Could it be that the condition had worsened, right? He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After a little check of the sealing wax, he crushed the sealing wax and took out the secret letter. After a glance, he didn't ask anyone to go straight out the password book to check, and it was translated quickly. In just one sentence, "The Emperor's stroke disease has improved a lot. He can speak clearly, but the speed is slightly slow."

Kangxi's condition improved? Zhenwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and handed the note to Yinxiang, but he was wondering whether this matter was a good or a bad thing. In theory, it was a great joy, but he couldn't be happy.

After a while of silence, Yinxiang said in a deep voice: "Emperor, the Shunyi camp has basically been transferred, and only two thousand elite camps are left, and there are not many left in the Tianjin Navy."

Zhenwu looked at him in surprise. Lao Thirteen actually asked him to prevent it. Is it necessary? Shaking his head slightly, he said, "Brother Thirteen is too worried. Emperor Ama has always cherished his feathers throughout his life. Besides, after this serious illness, what else can Emperor Ama not let go of?"

"Emperor." Yinxiang said in a deep voice: "I am not worried about the emperor, but about the royal family and princes and nobles in the capital." After a slight pause, he continued: "Since the emperor's reign, he has confiscated the military power of the Five Banners, and has drawn the people of the capital into the Tianjin military workshop, promoting the stake in the capital, and the officials and gentry paid grain as a whole, and carried out industrial and commercial tax reform.

Immediately afterwards, the city of Xi'an was sold, allowing the local Eight Banners to purchase industries in the local area, and then 10,000 new guards were transferred to Xi'an. At the same time, the Qing army was innovated and the status of the Eight Banners soldiers was reduced to equality with the Green Camp. The new guards also began to recruit Han people in large numbers. Not only that, the capital would build a larger military workshop, which would inevitably attract more bannermen to the military workshop.

The emperor, all the above items were constantly weakening and depriving the power of the Eight Banners Princes and Princes. In just one year, the royal family and princes and princes in the capital lost all their money and even took large amounts of debt to develop overseas bans was because they were afraid that the emperor would eventually deprive them of their privileges.

The princes and nobles of the Eight Banners have enjoyed privileges for decades and have been deprived of them all. They are bound to be unwilling to accept it. The improvement of the Emperor's condition is a great opportunity for them. I am worried that they will sow discord from it and put the emperor in a difficult situation, so I beg the emperor to think twice."

After hearing this, Zhenwu was speechless for a while. He knew that it was not good to be too hasty, but if he didn't do so, he could not force the Eight Banners princes and nobles to devote all their energy to overseas bans. He understood Lao Thirteen's meaning and dispatched the most reliable navy and the new imperial guards to station in the capital to intimidate these Eight Banners princes and nobles to avoid their delusions.

However, now the navy and the new guards have been transferred to Japan, Africa, Persian Gulf, and the Bay of Bengal. The three major naval academies are all new recruits, and there are not many. The new guards transferred to Xi'an cannot move. We must prevent changes in the northwest. Moreover, how could Kangxi not know about such obvious mobilization of troops? What would he think? Not only did he find trouble for nothing, but he might even backfire.

After thinking for a while, he said: "There is no need to create any troubles. The recruitment of new recruits is coming to an end. Strengthen training of new recruits and strengthen control over the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing."

Seeing that Zhenwu was unmoved, Yinxiang stopped saying a word and hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey the order."
