PS: A new week and a new January has arrived, for the sake of the pure wolf getting the full attendance award this week, please reward the pure wolf with flowers! ）

Although he is nearly sixty years old, because of his good maintenance and appearance, the fifty-six-year-old Xiaozhuang still looks charming, and his appearance is only forty years old at most. It was this woman who fascinated Huang Taiji and the Dolgon brothers and succeeded in preserving her son's throne; let Hong Chengchou, who refused to surrender to death, fall under her pomegranate skirt, and from then on he was born and died as a cow and a horse for the Manchu Dynasty; He also assisted his grandson to ascend the throne when the ministers were in power, and finally helped his grandson overthrow the ministers, so that the Aixin Jueluo family could truly control the country of China! It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the first female hero of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

"Forget it, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads." Wu Yuanming muttered in his heart, and kowtowed to Xiaozhuang and Kangxi Xiaomazi with the little girl Hui'er, and knelt three times and bowed nine times according to the etiquette of the Han army banner people to meet the emperor, and said loudly: "Slave Wu Yingxiong knocks to see the emperor, knocks to see the old ancestor of the empress dowager, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the old ancestor." ”

"Flat, give Wu Yingxiong a seat." Xiaozhuang's voice was soft and very soft, giving people a cordial feeling like a spring breeze, and he complained to Kangxi as if reproaching: "Grandson, Wu Yingxiong is very well-behaved, why do you still treat him for the crime of rudeness in front of the king?" Isn't it too harsh? ”

"The ancestor blamed him for being too moody and acting too carelessly, and his grandson will definitely pay attention in the future," Kangxi glanced at Wu Yuanming as if he was very guilty, and apologized to Xiaozhuang in a low voice. Xiaozhuang smiled, waved his hand to Wu Yuanming and said: "Ying Xiong, in terms of seniority, you are the emperor's little uncle, now the emperor already knows that this matter is wrong, your uncle's should not be like the emperor's nephew, let alone hold a grudge, and the emperor, you will stop being harsh on your uncle's etiquette in the future, don't forget that he is your elder, so forget about this matter." Your own relatives, don't hurt your peace because of a little thing. ”

"A trifle? Lao Tzu's head was almost cut off by Mazi's nephew! Wu Yuanming muttered angrily in his heart, but he agreed with a smile on his face: "The ancestor is serious, the slave didn't eat the leopard's gall, so dare to hold a grudge against the emperor?" Kangxi also smiled and said: "The ancestor taught me a lesson, so let's do it, Wu Yingxiong's legs and feet are not good, and his grandson will give Wu Yingxiong a grace to avoid kneeling before the emperor, and if he encounters inconvenient legs and feet in the future, he can avoid the etiquette of kneeling to me." ”

"Slave thank you, Lord Long." Finally no longer have to kowtow to Xiao Mazi, Wu Yuanming's voice finally brought a little joy, and naturally smiled at Kangxi, as if he had already laughed at his enmity. But the little girl Hui'er standing in the middle of Cining Palace was shocked, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty had only given one person the grace of not kneeling in front of the emperor before-Dolgon, and his final fate was not very good.

After the atmosphere eased slightly, Xiaozhuang asked straight to the point: "Wu Yingxiong, the mourning family summoned you today to ask about the murder you were designed by Wei Dongting and Cao Yin. But Ao Bai insisted that there was someone behind the two dog minions, and pointed the finger at Wu Liuyi, the commander of the Nine Gates, but it happened that Wu Liuyi's rule was not strict, and his soldiers were suspected of killing Shi Jianmei and killing his mouth, and he was suspicious. The question I want to ask is, how are you going to answer? ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, of course the slave answered truthfully." Wu Yuanming replied insidiously: "The minions have encountered assassins several times at home, but the people who lead the yamen in the infantry army are late every time, intentionally or unintentionally, and the minions have long suspected that Wu Liuyi is deliberately targeting the minions. At the same time, Cao Yin was beaten by the slave, Wei Dongting's fiancée is now the slave's concubine, but they have a hundred reasons to kill the slave, but it just so happens that the two of them have a good relationship with Wu Liuyi - I heard that Wu Liuyi's confidant Cha Yihuang was personally rescued from the prison by Wei Dongting, is it possible for them to join forces to murder the slave? ”

"Wu Yingxiong, now that the court is in disorder, how important Wu Liuyi's position is, can't you see it?" Kangxi interjected: "If Wu Liuyi is knocked down by Aobai, what good can you do?" You hate Wei Dongting and Cao Yin, I can kill them and make you angry, can you not implicate Wu Liuyi? ”

"Back to the emperor, this is not a trivial matter for the slaves to hate Wei Dongting and Cao Yin, but a major matter related to whether the laws of the Qing Dynasty are strict or not." Wu Yuanming had a businesslike face when the traffic police team was maintaining traffic order, and said solemnly: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!" If the murderers have not been severely punished, and the masterminds behind them have not been investigated and punished, then where will I be punished? I still have laws in the Qing Dynasty to bind the people? As the prince of Pingxi, if the slave takes the lead in shielding criminals and spreading the reputation of the slave, it is a trivial matter, I am afraid that the people of the world will laugh at the court for not abiding by the law and not strictly enforcing the law, which will also deal a blow to the reputation of the emperor and the ancestors. ”

"That's a good thing, but if I give the Yungui garrison 10 million taels of silver, Wu Yingxiong, are you willing to keep Wu Liuyi and those two dog minions for me?" According to the intelligence analysis provided by various parties and his personal contact with Wu Yuanming, Kangxi has long known that Wu Yuanming is a complete hooligan and scoundrel, a rag of oil that can't be twisted! But at the moment, this scoundrel must not be slaughtered, and if he wants to do things for himself, he can only exchange things.

"Your Majesty, the minions' salaries are 20 million taels of silver." Wu Yuanming rolled his eyes and replied with neither yin nor yang. Kangxi held back his anger and gritted his teeth and replied: "Wu Yingxiong, how much silver is in the treasury, I think you should know very well. I promised to give you this ten million taels of silver, but I took out my own money in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In other words, I took out all the money from the Qianqing Palace and the Chengde Summer Resort. ”

"Your Majesty, the official of the Internal Affairs Office, Asiha, told the servants that there are 25,620,000 taels of silk official silver and more than 30,000 taels of gold in the Internal Affairs Mansion alone, and there are countless rare treasures." Wu Yuanming easily moved out of Aobai's sworn friend Asiha, reminding Kangxi that he and Aobai had joined forces on the issue of military salary. Of course, Kangxi understood the meaning of Wu Yuanming's words, and forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Wu Yingxiong, the Internal Affairs Office has silver, but that silver is my own silver, do you want me to even have no silver to reward my subordinates?" Do you want me to take a broken bowl to beg for food outside Xihua Gate? ”

"Death to the minister." Wu Yuanming didn't want any grace to avoid kneeling in front of the emperor, and left his seat to kowtow and confess - by the way, he blocked Kangxi's mouth as he continued to have seizures, but Wu Yuanming's rogue expression on his face was even worse, and he saw that Hui'er's little girl was secretly laughing. And Kangxi wanted to have a seizure, but because Wu Yuanming didn't speak, he couldn't find a reason, so he was full of anger and could only hold it in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. At this time, Xiaozhuang suddenly spoke: "Wu Yingxiong, the mourning family heard that you went to the court this time and brought an old servant to you to pay tribute to the soil of the eighteen provinces of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"This is a little filial piety of a slave, and the ancestor praised it too much." Wu Yuanming, who put eighteen boxes of dirt in his backyard and prevaricated Kangxi, replied respectfully. Xiaozhuang smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, filial piety is commendable, the mourning family wants to reward you, and you bring that old servant, and the mourning family also wants to reward him in person." ”

"How can a slave be virtuous? How dare you be rewarded by your ancestors? The minions are terrified. Wu Yuanming pretended to be embarrassed: "It's just that the old servant brought by the slave has already left the palace, if the old ancestor wants to reward him in person, the slave will go to the palace to find him to kowtow to the old ancestor." ”

"No need, the mourning family has already sent someone to send him over." Xiaozhuang smiled coldly. Wu Yuanming's face changed greatly, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Old Ancestor, have you already passed him into the Forbidden City?" ”

"Yes, speaking of which, you have to thank Zhaohui, without the help of this little girl, that old slave of your family is really hard to find." Xiaozhuang's voice was a little cold. Wu Yuanming's face became earthy, and he couldn't help but turn his head and glared at the little girl, Hui'er's little girl would let Wu Yuanming bully casually, and immediately shouted: "Brother Wu, why are you staring at me?" The old ancestor wants to reward your servant, I will help the old ancestor find him, if you don't thank me, forget it, why are you still so cruel to me? Although Wu Yuanming twisted his head away by Hui'er's training, anger appeared on his face. Hui'er's little girl also seemed to realize that she had done something wrong, and her pretty little face immediately showed worry and surprise.

"Come on, bring in that old servant of Wu Yingxiong's family!" Wu Yuanming and Hui'er's expressions changed, and Kangxi immediately guessed that the mysterious old army was strange, and maybe it was the key to turning defeat into victory. And a smile flashed in Xiaozhuang's eyes, and his heart said that it was really him.

"It is rumored that the old servants of Wu Yingxiong's family came to see ——!" The eunuchs in front of the gate of Cining Palace sang rhythmically, and passed on one by one with the singing. Li Yinzheng, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, took four eunuchs and escorted the mysterious old army into Cining Palace, and Li Yinzheng said triumphantly before he approached Xiaozhuang and Kangxi: "Old ancestor, the slave brought the old servant of Wu Yingxiong's family. ”

"Wu Yingxiong, can you tell the mourning family what the name of this old servant of your family is?" Xiaozhuang was confident, and he couldn't help but ask Wu Yuanming when he didn't see the appearance of the old army. And the nervousness on Wu Yuanming's face disappeared at this time, and he replied with a smile: "Back to the old ancestor, he is an old family member who grew up taking care of the slaves, named Wu Fu, and he is the most important to the slaves, so the slave let him enter the palace with the tribute." It's just that the slaves don't know what crime Wu Fu has committed, why was he escorted into the palace by these fathers-in-law? ”

"Wu Fu?" When he looked at the old servant carefully, he saw that he was only a little similar in age and height to the person he suspected, but his appearance was completely different. But Xiaozhuang didn't give up, and smiled: "Why is there so much ash on this old man's face? It must have been blown outside the noon gate just now, come on, the old gentleman of Wu Yingxiong's family washed his face. ”

"Pierce." As soon as Xiaozhuang's words fell, two pretty and moving palace maids came over with a golden basin and a face towel, and Kangxi's henchman Su Malagu walked up to the old servant with a herbal medicine bag and chuckled: "Old man, let the slave wait for you to wash your face." As she spoke, Aunt Su Mala dipped the herb in hot water and rubbed it on the old servant's face, explaining while wiping: "Old man, this herb is made by the palace hospital, which has the miraculous effect of relaxing the muscles and invigorating the blood, dispersing stasis and removing dirt. Su Malagu added fiercely in her heart, "Especially the paint that can wash away the easy appearance and the medicinal powder that sticks to the face and raise the bones!" ”

"There is this aunt and grandmother, Wu Fu really doesn't dare to be it." The mysterious old army, that is, Wu Lu, Wu Shou and Wu Xi's father Wu Fu, replied tremblingly. And Hui'er's little girl glared at Wu Yuanming triumphantly, as if asking Wu Yuanming if he was doing a good job? Wu Yuanming quietly gave the little girl a thumbs up and praised the little girl's shrewdness and cunning.

"Li citation, you dog slave, the mourning family asked you to invite Wu Yingxiong's old family into the palace, why did you escort him here?" Wu Fu's panicked expression and unchanged appearance under the potion, as well as the pride of Hui'er's little girl and Wu Yuanming's small movements, did not have Xiaozhuang's keen eyes. In just an instant, Xiaozhuang understood that Li had been cited by Hui'er's little girl, and immediately took advantage of the topic and said: "A few dog minions, they are so ineffective, what do you want?" Get down and get thirty wrenches each, and next time, watch out for your dogs! ”

"Pierce ......." Li Yinzheng also understood that he had fallen into the big trap of the little girl, and after glancing at Hui'er's little girl hatefully, Li Yinzheng led a few other unlucky eggs down to be beaten. Although Kangxi didn't understand what was going on, but after seeing Xiaozhuang's disappointed look, Kangxi immediately understood that he had lost again, and after getting Xiaozhuang's hint, Kangxi ordered: "Come on, give Wu Fu a hundred taels of gold, and send him out of the palace." ”

"Long live the grass people." Wu Fuke knew much more politeness than Wu Yuanming, and he was busy struggling to get out the little hand that Su Malagu wiped on his face, and kowtowed to Kangxi and Xiaozhuang in a proper manner to thank him - he picked a hundred taels of gold for no reason, and it was not a loss for old Wu Fu to kowtow a few heads. But Hui'er's little girl was upset for him, and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you want to be an official?" No credit. Although the little girl's voice was low, Kangxi and Xiaozhuang heard it in their ears, but neither of these ancestors and grandchildren wanted to add any more strength to Wu Sangui's family, so they both pretended to be deaf and dumb.

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

After Wu Fu was sent down by the eunuch, Xiaozhuang coughed and said: "Wu Yingxiong, just now the emperor said that he would give the Yungui garrison 10 million taels of military salary, you think it is less, but the 20 million taels of silver you want, the court really can't take it out." The mourning family thought about it, how about we let's take a step forward and discuss it again? ”

"Please show the ancestors, and the servants will listen to the hadith." Wu Yuanming knew that the time had come for the white knife to enter and the red knife to come out, so he pricked up his ears and stared, not noticing that Hui'er was glaring at him. After Xiaozhuang thought about it for a while, he said slowly: "In this way, the mourning family asked the emperor to give the Yungui garrison 12 million taels of military salaries!" But you must protect Wu Liuyi, Wei Dongting and Cao Yin for the emperor, and the mourning family guarantees that Wei Dongting and Cao Yin, the two dog minions, will not touch a single hair of you in the future; As for the responsibility for your murder, just put it on the executioner and the soldier who wanted to kill Shi Jianmei; At the same time, you tell your father to recall the rebellious army that invaded Sichuan, disarm 40,000, and promise to restrain your subordinates in the future and stop messing around, this is the price that the imperial court gave to your Wu family. ”

"Ancestor, if you land on the ground and bargain, the slave will raise the price." After Wu Yuanming obtained Xiaozhuang's nod permission, he said quickly: "The minions can protect Wu Liuyi, Wei Dongting and Cao Yin, as long as Wei Dongting and them don't provoke the minions in the future, the minions will no longer be against the emperor's guards; The Yunnan-Guizhou garrison can also withdraw from Luzhou and disarm half, but it will cost at least 19 million taels of military salaries! ”

"Brother Wu, you seem to have forgotten something?" The little girl Hui'er was anxious when she heard this, and she tried to be punished and knelt down again to remind Wu Yuanming. Wu Yuanming woke up from a dream as before, and said in his heart that he had almost missed a major event, and hurriedly added: "There is another point, the imperial court must assign the Ningyuan Mansion in Sichuan (Note 1) to Yunnan jurisdiction. As soon as Wu Yuanming's words fell, Hui'er's little girl's face immediately changed. Kangxi and Xiaozhuang looked at each other in surprise, and said in their hearts that Ningyuan Mansion is sparsely populated, the population is not as good as a county in Luzhou, the land is barren, the grain production is very small, and there is no tea and salt, what does Wu Sangui want to do in that place?

Kangxi Hu asked: "Yunnan wants to govern Ningyuan Mansion?" That place is sparsely populated, what is Yunnan going to do? Of course, Wu Yuanming would not be stupid enough to tell Kangxi the secret that the place has one-fifth of the country's iron ore - this secret Wu Yuanming didn't even tell Liu Xuanchu, and said the reason that he had prepared a long time ago, "Ningyuan is located in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, and the Jinsha River is often diverted and flooded, threatening Chuxiong, which produces grain and salt in Yunnan. ”

"Oh, I see." Yunnan and Guizhou lacked grain-producing areas, Kangxi believed it, and said in his heart that it would be good to let Wu Sangui go to control the water, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Ningyuan Mansion can give Yunnan jurisdiction, but the military salary of the Yunnan-Guizhou garrison this year must be reduced to 14 million taels, and half of it will be disarmed at the same time!" ”

"Your Majesty, a mere Ningyuan Mansion with a population of less than 50,000 will cut Yungui's military salary by 5 million taels?" Wu Yuanming bargained like a housewife buying vegetables in a vegetable market: "The Yungui garrison can be disarmed by half, but the military salary will be at least 17 million taels." The Yungui garrison is all old people who crawled out of the pile of dead people with their father, and now let them go home to farm, and their father can't treat them badly in terms of dismissal fees. ”

"Sixteen million taels plus one Ningyuan Mansion! The final limit of the imperial court! Xiaozhuang made a final decision and said coldly: "You don't have to meddle in the matter of military salaries in Fujian and Guangdong, and the mourning family will not treat them badly." ”

"In accordance with the decree of the old ancestor, the slave represents the father of the family and the 55,000 Yunnan-Guizhou army, as well as the 10,000 green battalion army in Yunnan, and thank the emperor and the ancestor for their reward." Wu Yuanming will take care of the life and death of Geng Jimei and Shang Zhizhi, the two wall-head grasses, anyway, he gave Yungui three-quarters of the military salary he asked, and he would not be less than Guangdong and Fujian. But at this moment, Hui'er's little girl suddenly cried loudly, covered her little face and rushed out of Cining Palace, until this moment, Wu Yuanming suddenly realized that she only cared about bargaining for her own interests, how could she forget about this little girl?

"Aiqing is flat, the hundred officials have been waiting for a long time, hurry up and return to the Taihe Hall with me to reopen the court discussion." Kangxi had already discovered that Wu Yuanming had forgotten to take the opportunity to ask him to give up Hui'er's little girl, and Kangxi, who was reluctant to give up the little girl, gave Wu Yuanming a chance to speak again, and immediately ordered to drive the Taihe Palace......
