After sending Wu Sangui out of the temporary governor's yamen, Feng Yuanyang, Wang Yongji, and Tian Cunzhi went to the study in the backyard of the yamen together.

There were only three of them in the study. Wang Yongji and Tian Cunzhi both looked at Feng Yuanyang, waiting for him to take out the secret edict.

"Feng Futai," Tian Cunzhi was anxious, and when he saw that Feng Yuanyang didn't make a secret edict, he thought it was an edict, so he asked, "Do you want our family to serve you in a wide coat?" ”

Wide clothes?

Feng Yuanyang was stunned, what does this mean? Could it be that Tian Cunzhi prepared a beautiful woman for himself? I am a gentleman of Donglin, how can I accept a beautiful woman sent by a eunuch? Isn't that a eunuch that everyone spurns?

"No need." Feng Yuanyang had a straight face.

Tian Cun looked at him with a strange expression, so he had to mumble in a low voice: "Oh, it turned out that it wasn't a cloth edict!" ”

"What edict?" Feng Yuanyang was stunned.

Tian Cunzhi smacked his lips, "Secret edict!" Feng Futai, don't say no! ”

Wang Yongji also asked: "Yes, hurry up and take it out." ”

Feng Yuanyang, a gentleman from Donglin, sweat came out on his forehead, "You, how do you know that there is a secret edict?" ”

yes, shouldn't the edict be secret? Why didn't they know it before they took it out?

"Isn't that obvious?" Tian Cun said straightly, "You just said about the palace change...... If you were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you wouldn't have said that! Since you are a member of His Majesty's people, you must have brought a secret edict. ”

Uh, that seems to make sense...... But both of them know, Wu Sangui may be able to guess it, right?

The emperor is really, why did he make everyone know about the secret edict? In this way, can you fight the prince who is better than a monkey and fiercer than a tiger?

"There is an edict," Feng Yuanyang sighed, "but it's for Governor Wang." ”

As he spoke, Feng Yuanyang took out an envelope - an ordinary envelope, and it was not used by the royal family.

Wang Yongji hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and took the envelope with both hands, "Minister Wang Yongji respectfully receives the holy decree." ”

After taking the envelope, Wang Yongji did not avoid it, he tore open the envelope in front of the two people in front of him, took out the envelope inside, and read it carefully by taking advantage of the dim light in the study, and his eyebrows slowly twisted into a ball.

"How?" Feng Yuanyang asked.

Tian Cunzhi also looked at Wang Yongji, feeling a little aggrieved. He is a big eunuch and the emperor's confidant, why can't he get a secret edict?

Wang Yongji handed the letter to Tian Cunzhi, "Father-in-law Tian, you can also take a look...... The emperor also has important things to explain to you. ”

It's all written together! Tian Cun hurriedly took the letter, took a closer look, and it turned out that there were two things said on this secret edict, both of which had something to do with him.

First, Chongzhen asked Wang Yongji to transfer the supervision standard to Tian Cunzhi's jurisdiction.

The second is to ask King Ding, King Yong, and the Five Princes if they have arrived in Yongping? If they have already arrived or partially arrived, they will order Wang Yongji and Tian Cunzhi to protect them. At the same time, Wang Chengen and Qiu Zhizhong were ordered to send Yuan Guifei back.

Wang Yongji said to Feng Yuanyang: "The governor of this official has 2,000 people, stationed in Funingwei, and can be immediately transferred to Shanhaiguan and handed over to Gonggong Tian."

As for the princes, Yongwang, the five princes and Yuan Guifei, their whereabouts are unknown, only the Duke of Qiu has escorted King Ding to Yongping, and now lives in Linyu County...... This official and Gonggong Tian should be able to protect His Royal Highness the King of Baoding. ”

Tian Cunzhi also said: "Please Feng Futai to report back to the emperor, even the minister Tian Cunzhi is broken bones, and he will also protect His Royal Highness King Ding!" ”

Whether they can keep King Ding, Wang Yongji and Tian Cunzhi are not sure, the key depends on Wu Sangui and Zhu Cihong!

Because Emperor Chongzhen has four living sons, now the whereabouts of King Yong and the five princes are unknown, leaving only Zhu Cihong and Dingwang Zhu Cijiong. If Zhu Cijiong is gone, then Zhu Cihong will be an only child...... This time put Zhu Cihong in a very advantageous position in the struggle with Chongzhen.

Feng Yuanyang nodded and said, "There are two His Royal Highnesses the King of Baoding, the emperor should be able to rest assured...... Since His Royal Highness King Ding has arrived in Linyu, the official still has to go to see him. It's still early today, so you might as well go with this official. ”

"Okay," Wang Yongji said, "then let's go together." ”

......

At the same time, Wu Sangui had already received the handwritten letters written by Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, and Wu Sanmei from Chen Yuanyuan, and was looking at them carefully in his study.

The three letters are all good things for Zhu Cihong!

It is said that the prince is talented, especially good at controlling people's hearts, not only can he paint a big cake for people, but also give ready-made benefits without mercy, and he can share weal and woe with the soldiers, and he can also deal with things fairly and be able to stand up. No soldier who followed him would disobey him!

So the Ming Dynasty must be able to prosper! There is no need to doubt this!

However, in addition to the good words, the three of them put forward different requirements for Wu Sangui.

Of course, Wu Sanmei hopes that her brother will feel that she will lead the troops to Dagukou, in her opinion, with Wu Sangui's protection, Zhu Cihong will no longer have to take risks.

However, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu both hope that Wu Sangui can take the middle and lower two strategies - in the future, they will either stay in Beijing or Yongzhen Taiyuan.

In short, it is necessary to support troops outside and defend one side. Only in this way can the old Wu family echo inside and outside and keep rich for a long time!

Both father and son had this attitude, but Wu Sangui was taken aback. If Wu Sanfu meant this, it would be normal. Now he is being favored, as if he is the master of an army. How can his brother Wu Sangui go south, his position is likely to be lost.

But Daddy Wu Xiang didn't let Wu Sangui go south...... Why is that? Isn't the joint efforts of father, son, brother and sister just right to control the government? Why did you leave the strongest Wu Sangui outside as a separatist warlord?

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good at controlling people's hearts, and completely controlling the new army of what is going on, and there is not much share of the old Wu family. So the old man was afraid that Wu Sangui's little strength would also be pulled over by Prince Zhu?

If that's the case, then I really can't go south, so let's take a middle way and honestly stay at Shanhaiguan to see the situation.

When Wu Sangui was thinking about it, an official dialect with a Shaanxi accent suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sir, Aunt Chen made some Jiangnan-style side dishes, and I want to invite the master over."

Hearing this voice, Wu Sangui was stunned, when did he have Shaanxi people in his family?

After thinking about it again, I remembered that Chen Yuanyuan brought a black and thick bodyguard, which looked quite majestic. said that it was his third brother who found a general from the army - this matter was actually arranged by Zhu Cihong through Shen Tingyang, and Soy Sauce Huang spent some money, went to Wu Sanfu's door, and arranged Liu Sheng, a latent agent, to Chen Yuanyuan's side......

......

Tianjin, the General's Mansion.

In Li Yan's study, a couple were silently looking at each other. Today, Li Yan and the red lady didn't go to patrol the city, nor did they go to work, they just stayed in the study, holding two wills, looking at them over and over, and I don't know how long they have been watching.

These two wills, one from Li Zicheng, the Yongchang Emperor of Dashun, and the other from Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng's edict was to recruit Li Yan to Beijing, and Zhu Cihong's edict was to the Red Lady, ordering the Red Lady to try to let Li Zicheng stay in Beijing and not go to Shanhaiguan - although Zhu Cihong knew the later history, he still had to do his best to avoid the Manchu Qing entering the customs.

As long as Shanhaiguan is not lost, even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty conquers Beijing, Zhu Cihong will have a way to recover it.

Shanhaiguan is a chokehold! The throat is blocked, Dolgon is just grabbing a handful and running away, it's a big deal that Prince Zhu will be Song Zhenzong again and give a million coins, Dolgon is always satisfied, right?

If he is not satisfied, Zhu Cihong is not afraid. Immediately rebuild Dongjiang Town, harass Dolgon from the sea, and make his back road unpeaceful!

In addition to this, Zhu Cihong also praised Li Yan for a while in the order to the red lady, and made him a character like Zhuge Liang! seems to be looking forward to him coming to Daming to be a military advisor......
