Chapter 128 Welcome(2/2)
Where the palace is, who dares to be so presumptuous?
Shu Shu immediately called Sun Jin over: "Go outside and see what's going on..."
Sun Jin went away in response, and the young master came back for a while and said: "Fu Jin, it is the Prince of Karaqin County who is coming to court with the princes of the two banners. The Emperor ordered all the princes to come out to greet him..."
Shu Shu was simply stunned.
The Haraqin tribe is three hundred miles away, and it still takes five days to travel.
Are you traveling three hundred miles to meet him?
"Are there any female relatives accompanying you?"
Shu Shu did not mention Princess Heshuo Duanjing. If the princess came to court, she would not be a subordinate. Sun Jin had already mentioned it.
"They all came on horseback, it doesn't look like there are women..."
Sun Jin thought for a while and replied.
That night, Kangxi hosted a banquet in honor of Prince Karaqin who came to court.
Brother Ninth came back very late and smelled of alcohol.
Shu Shu didn't say anything.
Ninth Brother's health naturally requires him not to drink or to drink less.
But if you really want to drink one or two cups, it won’t matter.
Brother Jiu murmured: "Have you not seen that each and every one of them wishes they could wear all their wealth on their body... Such big beeswax, three or five strings in a row... Gold inlaid with precious stones on their hands?"
Son, I wish I could wear it on my five fingers..."
He gestured while talking: "There are also belts inlaid with gold, and the workmanship is also rough, not as good as ours..."
Shu Shu was curious: "Is this a sign of loyalty to the emperor and the court by going out to welcome him for three hundred miles?"
"It's not three hundred miles, and one day will be the territory of the Kalaqin tribe... But after all, it's still a small hundred miles..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu nodded. Both Monan Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia were vassals of the Qing Dynasty, but they were actually different.
To be honest, they are all internal vassals in name, but Monan Mongolia has a strong sense of belonging to the imperial court because of its geographical advantage.
It is also because Monan is close to the hinterland of the Central Plains and there are no natural dangers.
If Manchu and Mongolia unite, both will benefit, and if they separate, they will suffer two harms.
Mobei Mongolia is more independent and has more of a nominal surrender. The spatial distance is widened, making it beyond the reach of the imperial court to intervene in Khalkha affairs.
The grassland is really vast.
A territory spans hundreds of miles.
The large army walked for another four days, and the grassland became flatter and broader.
Picturesque.
Every time he took a break, Shu Shu got off the carriage and looked at the grassland scenery.
Blue sky, white clouds, grasslands, and rivers like jade belts are scattered with groups of white dots, which are sheep.
We arrived at Mengke Tangtu on this day, and tomorrow we can go to the Karaqin Right Banner where the Princess Mansion is located.
Because Prince Karaqin was accompanying him, the ninth elder brother did not ride in a car these days. Instead, he rode on horseback and accompanied the other princes and elder brothers by his side.
The carriage stopped.
Shu Shu estimated the time and found that it would take almost half an hour before he could move again.
Unexpectedly, just after a cup of tea, the imperial eunuch came to deliver the order.
