"What?! What did you say?!! You said that Wu Liuyi and you have never met, and there have never been any conflicts and personal enmities?!!! ”

In the Taihe Palace, on the Jinluan Palace, Aobai's beard was angry, his hair was upside down, the toad's mouth was like a fish on the shore, and he was panting out, and a pair of copper bell eyes were more than three times wider, glaring at Wu Yuanming viciously, and his fierce and violent appearance was as if he wanted to pounce on Wu Yuanming and tear Wu Yuanming to pieces. And the expressions of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were different, either surprised that Wu Yuanming did not take this opportunity to kill all of Kangxi's henchmen, or annoyed that Wu Yuanming suddenly betrayed Aobai, and more, that is, the ministers of the grass on the wall, smelled a special smell from Wu Yuanming's words and deeds, and the tip of the grass blade that had fallen to Aobai quietly stood back in the middle.

"Ao Shaobao Mingjian, the lower official has never been in contact with Wu Liuyi, the commander of the Nine Gates, so there is a personal grudge and old grudge?" Wu Yuanming rolled his eyes, as if he was very innocent and innocent, and replied: "And Xia Guan has long heard of many heroic deeds of the iron beggar Wu Liuyi, and he is even more heartbroken about the story of Brother Wu Liuyi and Mr. Cha Yihuang knowing each other, and he has always had the heart to intersect with Brother Wu, but he has no chance to meet and settle down, so Xia Guan believes that Brother Wu will never make a despicable act of instructing a young man to murder Xia Guan!" ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yuanming turned to Wu Liuyi, who was kneeling on his left, and asked, "Brother Wu, the lower officials heard that your best friend Cha Yihuang was kidnapped by thieves, Brother Wu has been busy looking for the whereabouts of Mr. Cha and those thieves these days, I don't know if you have found it?" Wu Liuyi did not get the notice that Wu Yuanming had turned back to Kangxi in advance, and was very grateful to Wu Yuanming for 'presiding over justice', and he was a little more polite in his words, and sighed: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Cha and those thieves have not heard from him, but the lower officials will never stop there, they must find Mr. Cha's whereabouts, they must see people in life and corpses in death!" ”

"You go to the Yongding River to find the traitors." Wu Yuanming muttered in his heart, the iron beggar Wu Liuyi surrendered to the Qing army to help the abuse was instigated by Cha Yihuang, for which Cha Yihuang also sent Wu Liuyi a lot of travel expenses, Wu Yuanming had long known about this, so after Wu Sangui's detective kidnapped Cha Yihuang that day, he immediately chopped Cha Yihuang into dozens of pieces and threw it into the Yongding River to feed Wang Ba according to Wu Yuanming's instructions. However, although he was very disdainful of Cha Yihuang in his heart, Wu Yuanming still had to pretend to be a little worried on his face, and said politely: "Brother Wu doesn't have to worry too much, Mr. Cha is auspicious, and he will definitely be safe." ”

"Shizi, think about it again, maybe you inadvertently offended Wu Liuyi somewhere, and you don't know, so Wu Liuyi secretly instructed the murderer to try to murder you." Ao Bai did not give up, and while squeezing his eyebrows at Wu Yuanming, he continued to incite Wu Yuanming to frame Wu Liuyi. It's a pity that Wu Yuanming refused to help Ao Bai complete the fatal blow to Kangxi, and resolutely shook his head and replied: "Absolutely impossible!" Xia Guan has always studied behind closed doors at home, easily does not make friends with foreign officials, and never causes trouble, so will he inadvertently offend Lord Wu? ”

"You!" Aobai's nose was almost crooked by Wu Yuanming, originally for Aobai, as long as he used today's opportunity to bring down Kangxi's last life-saving card Wu Liuyi, he would have no second person in Beijing to restrain him, and at that time, the throne would be within reach! But what Ao Bai never dreamed of was that his good nephew, hardcore ally and party to the incident, Wu Yingxiong, would turn against him at a critical moment and put his wishful thinking of controlling Jiucheng into chaos. For a while, Ao Bai really wanted Ne Mo to command the imperial guards to serve Wu Yuanming, Xiaozhuang, Kangxi and other civil and military officials in the Taihe Palace, and then pricked the urethra with pig bristles a little bit, until these chaotic ministers and thieves died of pain - but thinking of Wu Liuyi's 30,000 troops who were waiting outside the Forbidden City, Ao Bai still suppressed this impulse.

"Your Majesty, ancestor, the slave has to play." At this time, Ji Bilong, who had not spoken since the reopening of the court meeting, saw that Wu Yuanming had already torn his face with Ao Bai, and for the benefit promised by the mysterious old army, Ji Bilong stood up again and said: "Since the prince of Pingxi admitted that he and Wu Liuyi, the governor of Jiumen, had no grievances, then according to the slaves, the parties have said so, then Lord Wu's suspicion can be cleared." However, Ao Zhongtang's insistence on tracking down the real murderer is also to prevent the murderer from being caught, which is actually an act of public loyalty to the country, worthy of the pillar of the country, and worthy of praise from the saint. ”

"Yes, Ao Zhongtang enforces the law impartially, and is not afraid of the powerful and intimate relatives in order to investigate the real murderer, although he is loyal to no result, but he can also be regarded as a model for the ministers." Kangxi was so shrewd, he immediately followed the words of Ji Bilong and blocked Aobai's mouth, and ordered: "Give the prince a yellow coat to show his reward." ”

"Old minister, thank the emperor for Longen." Ao Bai was gagged by the yellow coat and had to kneel down to thank him. Kubilong took the opportunity to say again: "Your Majesty, since Wu Liuyi is not suspected, the slave has the courage to sponsor him on an errand and preside over the trial of the case of Wei Dongting and Cao Yin's design to murder the prince of Pingxi. ”

"Very good." Kangxi nodded, and said in his heart that you are really a glass bead stained with oil - it is so slippery that people can't grasp it unsteadily, and push the errand of trying Xiao Weizi and Cao Yin to Wu Liuyi, so you don't have to worry about Aobai coercing you to poison Xiao Weizi and them, and you don't have to worry about Xiao Weizi and them being secretly killed by Aobai's people. However, it is also beneficial for Kangxi to do this, at least there is no need to worry about Curb Bilong making an unfavorable verdict against Wei Dongting and others under the pressure of Ao Bai, so Kangxi nodded very happily and said: "Wu Liuyi will try this case with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, Wang'er and the others will take Ao Shaobao as an example, and don't let me live up to my trust in you." ”

"Weichen Command!" Wu Liuyi, who had just been rescued by Kangxi by trading, Kangxi's henchman Shangshu Mingzhu of the Criminal Department, and Bomu Bogol, the secretary of Dali Temple, that is, Kangxi's youngest uncle, shouted together to receive the order. Seeing that Kangxi arranged the list of trial officials in this way, Ao Bai's face suddenly turned purple with anger, but now that the control of the three law divisions is basically in Kangxi's hands, Ao Bai is helpless to be angry again. Wei Dongting and Cao Yin breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that their little fate had been saved.

As soon as Wu Liuyi and Wei Dongting and other hardcore henchmen were over, Kangxi immediately quickly cut through the chaos and ordered several holy decrees, one was the military salary allocated to Wu Sangui's family of 16 million taels of silver; the second is to assign Ningyuan Mansion, which originally belonged to Sichuan, to Yunnan jurisdiction; the third is to give Fujian Geng Jingzhong and Guangdong Shang Kexi a military salary of 5 million taels of silver each; The fourth is to let Mu Zixu temporarily take over the Shanpu Camp and act as the commander of the Shanpu Battalion.

"Damn! Lao Tzu was sold to Kang Xiaosan by Wu Sangui's family! After hearing Kangxi's military salary to Wu Sangui's family, Ao Bai immediately understood that he had done a big wronged act this time, and couldn't help but glared at Wu Yuanming fiercely, and said let's see. Unlike Aobai, whose belly is about to explode, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhizhi are so smiling that they can't close their mouths, the dust of this military salary incident has settled, Kangxi lost a large amount of pocket money and a Ningyuan Mansion, Aobai did a big wrong, Wu Sangui's family and Aobai had a bad relationship, and the three parties suffered heavy losses, only these two wall grass hiding behind picked a big bargain. Of course, there is also a spilon that also benefits.

"Okay, that's all for today's court discussion, disperse ......." Seeing that the ministers did not raise objections, Kangxi was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, but Wu Yuanming suddenly rushed to say: "Your Majesty, the slave still has something to play." Kangxi said, "This kid shouldn't want to rob Zhaohui with me again, right? But Kangxi thought about it, if Wu Yingxiong wanted to coerce him to give up Zhaohui, he could only propose it before the deal was concluded, and it was too late to say anything, and he would be charged with the crime of blaspheming the mother of the country. Thinking of this, Kangxi nodded and said, "Come on." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has two books to play, the Yunnan rebel army invaded Sichuan, and Wang Xu, the former Shangshu of the household department, is the culprit, and the slave asked the emperor to send Wang Xu's family to Yunnan, and cut it with a thousand knives in front of the Yunnan-Guizhou garrison, in order to vent the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers!" Wu Yuanming said viciously. Kangxi originally had high hopes for Wang Xu, but after Wang Xu's 'ink corruption case' happened, Kangxi's high hopes for Wang Xu had all turned into resentment, and he agreed without thinking about it: "Quasi-play." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave has not seen his father for sixteen years since Shunzhi for ten years, and he is unable to fulfill his filial piety under his father's knees. Wu Yuanming wiped his tears and choked up and said: "The slave implores the emperor to give the slave to return to Yunnan Province with the tribute procession, and talk to his father for a while, so that the slave can do his filial piety ......." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yuanming was already crying silently, but Kangxi was willing to put Wu Yuanming back in Yunnan, and said with a cold snort: "Wu Aiqing, don't worry, since I ascended the throne, I have never seen the king of Pingxi, and when I announce the king of Pingxi to enter Beijing in the next year, your father and son can see each other, and I can also share the joy of the monarch and the minister with your father." After that, Kangxi got up and shouted: "Retreat!" "Kangxi also suffered too much loss this time, in order to save a little silver, he was reluctant to even give up the usual Lantern Festival banquet.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Seeing Kangxi leave the palace, the hundred officials were busy kneeling together, and Wu Yuanming didn't want to go to the Dharma field again, so he also knelt down and kowtowed. Although Wu Sangui's family won a big victory in this military salary incident, Wu Yuanming was very disappointed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Alas, Xiao Mazi has always refused to let me go back to Yunnan, it seems that I have to prepare a way to escape from Beijing." But as soon as I escaped, it meant that my father was going to rebel, and I had to think carefully about the timing and means. ”

…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

Because he turned his face with Aobai, and accidentally offended Hui'er's little girl, Wu Yuanming walked out of the Forbidden City alone, and when he arrived at the Dewu Gate, Liu Xuanchu and Yao Qisheng and others immediately greeted him, Liu Xuanchu said nervously to Wu Yuanming: "Shizi, we already know the will of the imperial court, you have done a good job." But the emperor and I have to leave Beijing immediately, and we will leave the city immediately, and you can send us off. ”

"Leave now? In such a hurry? Wu Yuanming was taken aback, Liu Xuanchu nodded and said: "Yes, let's leave now, the military salary allocated by the imperial court will be specially escorted to Yunnan, and if you want that Wang Xu, there will also be people from the Criminal Department to escort you over." Wu Yuanming said something, but Liu Xuanchu waved his hand and said: "Say anything out of the city, go quickly." Wu Yuanming knew that there must be something strange about this matter, so he didn't say anything, and as Liu Xuanchu and the assembled Wu Sangui guards hurriedly left the inner city, they hurriedly left Beijing City through Hade Gate.

Because Wu Yuanming, Liu Xuanchu and others acted quickly, Xiaozhuang and Kangxi did not expect Wu Sangui's guards to leave the city immediately, so the Hade Gate guards did not receive an order not to allow them to leave the city, and thought that Wu Sangui's guards were back to camp outside Anzahad Gate, so they did not stop them. When Xiaozhuang received the urgent report of the 'stay' will to send it to Hademen, Wu Sangui's guards had already returned to the camp to join the army left there. Xiaozhuang sighed after a little calculation: "Forget it, let him go." Let's not talk about whether the Miyun garrison can be captured back, and even if he is captured, what can he do? You can't just kill him now, can you? This can only give Wu Yingqi (Note 1) an excuse to rebel. ”

……

When he arrived at the garrison of Wu Sangui's guards, Liu Xuanchu commanded the troops to set up camp and prepare to set off, while pointing to a tent in the middle and said calmly to Wu Yuanming: "Go in, there is someone inside who wants to see you." Wu Yuanming took a closer look and saw that outside the tent was Huangfu Baozhu personally leading the team to guard it, until this time, Wu Yuanming suddenly remembered a big event, isn't Huangfu Baozhu the captain of his father's personal team? Dad's enemies are so many, why don't you stay by your side to protect yourself, but let Huangfu Baozhu protect Liu Xuanchu when he comes to Beijing? Thinking of this, Wu Yuanming already knew who was in the tent......

Walking into the heavily protected tent with heavy steps, the mysterious old soldier who followed Wu Yuanming to the court was indeed sitting alone on the chair in the middle, but the old soldier's appearance had changed a lot, and it became seven points similar to Wu Yuanming's current appearance. At that moment, Wu Yuanming, who had the memories of Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yuanming at the same time, suddenly had a sour nose and blurred eyes, and slowly walked to the old soldier step by step and knelt down on his knees, holding the old soldier's legs with both hands, tears poured out, crying silently, although there were thousands of words in his heart, but none of them could be spoken......

"Good, you're good." The mysterious old soldier was also full of tears, gently stroked the top of Wu Yuanming's head, and choked up: "You are very good, worthy of ...... It is worthy of being my Wu Sangui's son. ”

"Father!" Wu Yuanming hissed, hugged Wu Sangui's legs, and cried loudly......

"Xiong'er, I've wronged you all these years." Wu Sangui's cloudy tears slid down his wrinkled face, and hit Wu Yuanming's bare forehead one by one......

In this way, the father and son, who had not seen each other for sixteen years, hugged each other and cried for a long time, until Liu Xuanchu gently reminded him outside the tent that it was time to go on the road, Wu Sangui wiped away his tears and told Wu Yuanming: "Xiong'er, you are about to leave for your father, but you still have to stay in Beijing and take care of yourself...... If you need any help to escape back to Yunnan, you can ask your father's people to help you. ”

"Father, rest assured, the child will definitely return to Yunnan to meet you safely." Wu Yuanming wiped away his tears and replied in a choked voice. Wu Sangui nodded, and said: "You recognize that father-in-law Yao Qisheng, I also talked to him outside the noon gate just now, I originally wanted to take him back to Yunnan with me, but he said that he wanted to stay in Beijing to assist you, and my father agreed." He has the ability and knowledge of this person, and with him by your side to help, you should be able to make it much easier, but you can't trust him and rely on him all, after all, he has known you for a short time, but it is still a problem whether he is reliable. ”

"The child knows." In front of his father Wu Sangui, Wu Yuanming only nodded in agreement. Wu Sangui explained: "Father still has a few things to explain to you, first, your recent edge is too exposed, and all aspects have been eyeing you, this is not a good thing, you have to find a way to rein in your edge, otherwise it will only cause a big disaster." Second, Kangxi's henchmen have been beaten too badly by you, if you continue to fight hard with Kangxi, it will only make Aobai cheaper, it's time to help Kangxi weaken Aobai's strength, only if Kangxi and Aobai continue to fight, let the Manchu Tartars continue to fight internally, our Wu family can be safe, only then can we have time to be strong, and the stronger our Wu family, the safer it is, understand? ”

"The child understands." Wu Yuanming nodded, it takes time to recruit troops, accumulate grain and grass to build weapons, and the longer Ao Bai and Kangxi fight, the only time for Dad to rebel will have time to prepare. Wu Sangui continued: "This third, is it that you and Aobai still have to maintain friendly relations on the surface, so that at least there is no need to worry that Aobai will openly target our Wu family, I heard that Ban Bushan has reached an alliance with you, find him to find a way, and the civil and military officials in the court, you also have to have a good relationship with them, don't be afraid of spending money, although my father's Yunnan is not much food, there are still a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and you can leave thirty percent of the sixteen million military salary this time." ”

"Thank you father for being considerate of the child, and the child will do the same." Wu Yuanming replied in a choked voice. Wu Sangui said strangely: "Child, today in the imperial court, why did you ask Ning Yuan Mansion to come?" That place is sparsely populated, does not produce tea and salt, and the land is also very barren, why do you propose to give Yunnan jurisdiction alone? ”

"Father, Ning Yuan doesn't produce tea and salt, but that place produces iron." Referring to his genius stroke, Wu Yuanming had a smile on his face, and said triumphantly: "There is one-fifth of the country's iron ore buried in the underground of Ningyuan Mansion, and there is also a certain amount of coal mine. ”

"Really?" Wu Sangui couldn't believe it, and said in surprise: "Is that place really that iron?" I don't know that my father is close at hand, but you are far away in Beijing and have never been to the south, how do you know? ”

"This is a child...... This is the child's ....... Wu Yuanming's head was a little short-circuited, and he couldn't think of any excuse to prevaricate Wu Sangui for a while, but Wu Sangui smiled and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you are also old, don't say some things if you don't want to say it." After his father returned to Yunnan, he would send craftsmen to Ningyuan Mansion to investigate in detail. "Having said that, what Wu Sangui thought in his heart was, could it be that my eldest son, who has always been hidden, has an intelligence network in the south?

"Thank you father for your understanding." Wu Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Father, do you know the three things of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn?" ”

"You've heard that there are three varieties of grain that were introduced from overseas, right? What, what's the problem? Wu Sangui asked rhetorically. Wu Yuanming, who worked as a traffic police officer at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou for several years (Note 2), said: "Although the land in Yunnan and Guizhou is barren and cannot grow much wheat and rice, those three crops grow very well in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the yield per mu is extremely high. ”

"Is it so powerful?" Wu Sangui will be suspicious, but the lack of food in Yungui has always been Wu Sangui's heart disease, there is such a hope to try, so he nodded and said: "Okay, on the way back for my father, I will buy these seeds and return to Yungui to try planting, if there is really such a high yield as you said, my father will let the people expand the planting area." ”

"Father rest assured, the child does not dare to deceive the father." Wu Yuanming was overjoyed and said softly: "Father, the child still wants to ask you to ...... from overseas." ”

"Lord, prince, it's time to go, this place is not safe." Liu Xuanchu's urging voice sounded outside the tent again, Wu Sangui patted Wu Yuanming's shoulder and stood up, and said in a low voice: "Xiong'er, it's time to leave for your father, take care of yourself, and your younger brother will also let your father take care of you." You admire that Wang Xu, his father will find a way to subdue him, he arrived in Yunnan, and the people of Kang Mazi couldn't touch a single hair of him. Speaking of this, Wu Sangui thought about it and asked, "Since you like that Zhaohui, why don't you take the opportunity to ask for it today?" This is not the style of our Wu family. ”

In front of Chong Guan's angry father, Wu Yuanming dared to say that he had forgotten about Hui'er's little girl, so he could only smile insincerely: "Father, if the child asked the old lady of the Empress Dowager for Hui'er at that time, the old woman would definitely take the opportunity to suppress our family's military salary, and the child has already prepared another way to get Hui'er over." In short, father, don't worry, when the child returns to Yunnan, you will definitely turn her into your daughter-in-law and bring her back. ”

"This is like my son of Wu Sangui." Wu Sangui joked to his son, "She has true feelings for you, and she sincerely helps the Wu family to do things, if you lose her, your father will be the first to spare you, and then your mother, second mother, third mother and fourth mother will not spare you." Although Wu Yuanming knew that his father was joking, he also had a big head, and he had a brother Wu Yingqi who was used to leading troops to fight, if he really made his mother, as well as Chen Yuanyuan, the four-faced Guanyin and the eight-faced Guanyin several stepmothers unhappy, maybe they would blow the pillow wind in their father's ears.

"My father asked you a question at the end, Mu Shenbao and Mu Meng's brothers and sisters in Mu Wangfu, what are you going to do?" When it came to the great enemy for many years, Wu Sangui's voice suddenly became extremely cold. Wu Yuanming was big for a while, and he didn't dare to open his mouth when he wanted to ask his father to take the pair of brothers and sisters out of Beijing, so he could only choose what his father liked and replied: "Father, don't worry, the children will try their best to subdue their brothers and sisters and let them be used by the children." If not, the child will let them go where they should go. ”

"It's a good thing to be affectionate, but you can't mistake your own life for the sake of your children's private feelings." Wu Sangui knew that his eldest son was in love with Mu Meng, so he gave Wu Yuanming a wake-up call. Wu Yuanming reluctantly smiled and said: "My father taught me very well, and the child remembered it in my heart. ”

At this time, Liu Xuanchu urged again outside the tent, Wu Sangui sighed, and said in a low voice: "Father is gone, father left two hundred guards to protect you, they have followed father for many years, and the family is also in Yunnan, you can trust them." With that, Wu Sangui turned his head and walked out.

"Father's ——!" Wu Yuanming shouted in a hoarse voice, plopped down and knelt down for Wu Sangui, and the tears that had been stopped burst out of his eyes again. But Wu Sangui's figure only paused slightly, and then walked out of the tent with his legs raised, leaving only a long sigh......

Note 1: Wu Yingqi is Wu Yingxiong's second brother, because he has followed Wu Sangui to fight in the south and north since he was a child, he has some ability to lead troops to fight.

Note 2: The 320 National Highway on duty by Wu Yuanming passes through Guizhou and goes directly to Kunming, Yunnan. Another note: There is really a traffic police officer named Wu Yuanming on the road in the country......
