When Qianlong heard this, he took a deep breath and spoke with extremely blank eyes and words.

"Has today's world really reached this point?"

"Since I came to the throne, I have been conscientious and diligent in running the affairs of state. However, our Qing Dynasty has reached this point. How can I have the face to see my ancestors buried underground in the future!"

Qianlong collapsed on the imperial couch and sighed.

After sighing, Qianlong continued.

"Send an order to Feng Sheng'e and ask him to immediately withdraw northward with the main force of the Qing Dynasty. Don't make any unnecessary sacrifices in Fengyang."

"Another decree has been issued to the world. Now the power of the Qing Dynasty is unstable and the country is in danger. I hope the gentry from all over the world will help and form a regiment to protect the country and the people. If there are gains, the court will not hesitate to reward heavily..."

Qianlong finally made up his mind.

Decide to start group training to maintain the current situation.

After issuing the imperial edict, Qianlong waved his hand and ordered several military ministers to retreat.

After several military ministers resigned, Qianlong sat there and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Qianlong raised his head and said.

"Call the Sixth Elder Brother Yongrong, the Eighth Elder Brother Yongxuan, the Eleventh Elder Brother Yongxuan, the Fifteenth Elder Brother Yongyan, and the Seventeenth Elder Brother Yonglin to come to Yangxin Hall for an audience."

"I have something important to tell them!"

Qianlong gave birth to seventeen princes in his lifetime. Among them, only the above five are still alive, and the others have died in infancy.

Well, the imperial doctors of the Qing Dynasty were the only group of righteous people in the world who truly implemented the concept of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty to the best of their ability.

In terms of the number of Manchu princes and grandsons who died at their hands, no one can surpass them...

Compared with the imperial doctors of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Hospital, the Heaven and Earth Society and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are nothing but trivial matters.

It is worth mentioning that among the five living elder brothers, only four are adults, and the youngest of them, the seventeenth elder brother Yonglin, is only fourteen years old this year.

If the current situation of the Qing Dynasty deteriorates, the country may collapse at any time.

In order to keep some fire for the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong was prepared not to put all his eggs in the same basket.

He planned to divide all his sons among themselves, and each would take charge of one side to coordinate the war against the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, even if the capital falls and the Qing Dynasty is unfortunately destroyed, the Qing royal family will not be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Among these elder brothers, there must be someone who can continue the Qing Dynasty temple community.

When Li Yu heard this, he immediately went to deliver the order.

Not long after, several elder brothers arrived outside the Yangxin Hall.

Li Yu led the way for several people, led them into the Yangxin Hall and came to Qianlong.

When the five elder brothers saw Qianlong sitting on the imperial couch with a majestic look on his face, they all felt awe in their hearts, and they stepped forward to salute him obediently.

"I have seen the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live the Emperor!"

Amidst the salute, several bright foreheads were already knocked to the ground.

Qianlong opened his eyes, glanced sideways at his five sons, and said.

"Let's all get flat!"

"Li Yu, give me a seat for all my brothers!"

Hearing this, Li Yu took a few young eunuchs to move an embroidery pier for each of the elder brothers.

Seeing this, several elder brothers did not dare to make excuses. They bowed their hands to Li Yuyi very politely and said.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li!"

The elder brothers did not dare to offend Li Yu, the confidant eunuch beside their father.

How should I put it, although they are Qianlong's sons, when it comes to Qianlong's trust, all of them together are more trusted than Bu Li Yu.

The people around a superior like Li Yu are like the leader's driver. He may not be able to help you succeed, but it is very easy to harm you.

Li Yu was able to get along so well with Qianlong. Not only did he know how to behave, he was also considerate.

Seeing how polite the elder brothers were, he said with a smile.

"This old slave is just a slave, and he should serve his masters as he should."

Although Qianlong did not express his position when he saw this, he was extremely satisfied in his heart.

He just waved his hand and said.

"Li Yu, please take the people out and guard the door. I have some family matters to discuss with my elder brothers."

The next thing was the family affairs of their Aixinjueluo family, and Qianlong didn't want anyone to listen.

Even if this person is Li Yu, a confidant eunuch!

Hearing this, Li Yu resigned and left the Yangxin Hall, leading people to stand outside the Yangxin Hall to guard the gate.

After Li Yu left, Qianlong looked at his sons, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Do you know why I asked several princes to come to see you today?"

Although Qianlong was a foolish emperor, he liked to go to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy his achievements when he had nothing to do, and he also liked to build gardens in an extravagant manner. He was not very concerned about government affairs and had plenty of personal time.

But even so, he and his sons did not have many opportunities to meet.

Well, it's the kind of stranger who is the most familiar.

When several elder brothers saw Qianlong asking this question, they all looked puzzled, but they still said obediently.

"My son, I don't know, please ask the emperor to make it clear!"

When Qianlong saw this, he stopped showing off, took a deep breath, and spoke with a very serious expression.

"Today I summon all the princes to come here. I have something important to explain to you."

"The Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Yangzhou. Fengsheng'e has sent troops to retreat to Fengyang. The situation in the Central Plains is considered to be very bad."

"Next, if the Ming thieves launch their Northern Expedition, our Qing Dynasty will be in danger of life and death."

When the elder brothers heard this, they couldn't help but look surprised and disbelieving.

They knew that the Qing Dynasty was in a critical situation, but they didn't know that it was already so dangerous. Hearing this, the oldest sixth elder brother Yongrong stood up and said.

"Huang Ama, in the current situation in the world, is there anything I can do to help? I am willing to go through fire and water for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, even if I die!"

Upon hearing this, Qianlong glanced at Yong Rong with approval, and then continued.

"Since I called you here today, I have something to tell you to do."

"Now that the Qing Dynasty has been corrupted to such an extent, we, the descendants of Aisin Gioro, must prepare for the worst."

"In order not to put all the eggs in the same basket, I am going to send each of the princes to take charge of the military formations in one place and preside over the overall situation of resisting the Ming Dynasty."

"If unfortunately the capital is destroyed and the mountains collapse, someone can pass on the incense of my Qing ancestral temple..."

After hearing this, several elder brothers looked at each other and saw the burning passion and ambition in their eyes.

Now that the situation in the Qing Dynasty has deteriorated, it is time for these descendants of the Aixinjueluo family to contribute to the country.

As long as Qianlong is willing to give them a chance to perform, they believe that they will be able to recreate the glory of their ancestors on the battlefield.

After the elder brothers came to their senses, they all knelt down and saluted.

"My son, please let the Emperor Ama arrange it!"

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the Qing Dynasty, even if I die!"

When Qianlong saw this, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then he spoke.

"Yong Rong, choose a date as soon as possible to set off for Shengjing outside the customs, serve as governor of Shengjing, establish a Shengjing camp, and be responsible for the management of matters outside the customs."

When the sixth elder brother Yongrong heard this, he immediately called Qian'er.

"My son, I accept the decree."

After Qianlong finished speaking, he looked at Yongxuan, the eighth prince.

"Lao Ba, you are going to go to Suiyuan City outside the Pass. You will be appointed as the governor of Suiyuan. You will be responsible for the Zhelimu League, Xilin Gol League, Ulanqab League, Yikzhao League, Tuxie Tuhan Tribe and Zhasak Tuhan Tribe. , the Sanyin Noyan Khan Tribe, the Chechen Khan Tribe and other tribes established the Suiyuan Camp."

After hearing this, the eighth elder brother Yongxuan quickly knelt down to accept the order.

Immediately, it was Eleventh Brother Yongxuan.

Qianlong said with narrowed eyes.

"Old Eleven, the war in Yunnan-Guizhou direction is urgent now. I need one of my elder brothers to take command, so you can do it."

"You will take over as the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, take charge of all military and political matters in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, and establish the Southwest Camp."

When Yongxuan heard this, he naturally did not dare not to accept the order and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Qianlong looked at Yongyan again, glanced at him with a faint look, and then spoke.

"Old Fifteen, you will set off today and rush to Xi'an to serve as the governor of the northwest. You will be in charge of the military and political affairs of several provinces in Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang, and establish the northwest camp."

Qianlong valued Yongyan, his fifteenth elder brother, the most because he had been his chosen successor as the next emperor.

It's just a pity that based on the situation that the Qing Dynasty is facing now, it is really hard to say whether there will be a next emperor.

But even so, Qianlong still handed over Gansu and Shaanxi provinces with the greatest war potential to Yongyan, hoping that he could make a difference and revitalize the Qing Dynasty.

It can be seen that Qianlong valued it!

After saying this, Qianlong looked at Yonglin, his seventeenth elder brother.

Qianlong took a deep breath and spoke.

"As for Yonglin... you are still young and cannot be in charge of a party, so you should stay in the capital for the time being!"

Upon hearing this, Yongyan and Yonglin bowed down together to show their acceptance.

Qianlong continued.

"The specific appointment decree will be issued soon. You should go back and prepare!"

"Now the main force of the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Yangzhou, and the Qing Dynasty's treasury is empty. Although I am willing to give you soldiers, horses, money and food, the court is really unable to provide it."

"The only help I can provide you now is to leave the local military power at your disposal."

"I hope you won't disappoint me..."

After saying this, Qianlong waved his hand to signal them all to leave without waiting for his elder brothers to express their loyalty.

After several elders had exited the Yangxin Hall, Qianlong let out another heavy breath.

The face is full of loneliness...

……

Shandong, Qufu!

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, the status of Confucianism has been continuously improved.

It was okay during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Although the old Kong family also had hereditary titles, their status was not too high.

Among the five surnames and seven hopes, there is no surname Kong, which is the most typical example.

However, when the Song Dynasty was established, the old Zhao family began to emphasize culture over military affairs.

The status of the Kong family began to be continuously promoted.

It was not until Renzong of Song Dynasty ascended the throne and canonized the Kong family as Yanshenggong that the status of the Kong family reached its peak.

It was also from that time that Qufu began to become the private residence of the Kong family. Most of the magistrates of Qufu County and officials in Qufu in the past dynasties were members of the Kong family.

It doesn’t matter whether the surname in this world is Zhao, Wanyan, Bo’er Zhijin, Zhu, or Aixinjueluo.

But in Qufu, his surname has always been Kong!

However, although the Kong family has hereditary wealth, the contemporary Yanshenggong Kong Zhaohuan is not happy.

Because he knew that it might not take long before the glory and wealth that his old Kong family had inherited from generation to generation would be gone.

To be more precise, it should be that the wealth of his Northern Sect of the Kong family was about to disappear.

Nan Kong smiled and said without saying a word, the smile will not disappear out of thin air, it will only be transferred to my face... (End of this chapter)
