Chapter 211: Liu Xia Becomes King
Zhao Zhilong looked at Ma Shiying with a questioning face, and said, "My lord, can you explain?" ”
Ma Shiying smiled and said, "Do you know why Wu Sangui knew who his concubine was, but he didn't attack Liu Xia?" And it hasn't spread the matter out yet? Zhao Zhilong hurriedly shook his head.
Ma Shiying said: "That's because Liu Xia is powerful now, and Wu Sangui is not suitable to do anything with Liu Xia at this time, so even if Wu Sangui knew the truth of the matter, he didn't spread it, let alone send troops." It's because Wu Sangui thinks it's not cost-effective to fight Liu Xia now. ”
Zhao Zhilong asked, "In that case, what should we do?" Ma Shiying said: "If we poke out the fact that Liu Xia kidnapped Wu Sangui's concubine, let everyone in the world know." Then Wu Sangui definitely does not want to be ridiculed by the world, and will definitely be forced to send troops to attack Liu Xia, so that our crisis can be resolved, if Liu Xia wins, it will be good. If both of us lose, we will feel more at ease. If Wu Sangui wins, presumably Wu Sangui will not come to attack us if he has more territory. ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Sure enough, it's a disaster! In this way, Wu Sangui can really withdraw from the army. Zhao Zhilong hurriedly clapped his hands and said.
"Hahaha, if you want to blame Liu Xia for not obeying the emperor's orders, it is natural for us to flow the disaster water on him." Ma Shiying was angry when she talked about Liu Xia.
After Ma Shiying decided, Ma Shiying sent out a large number of people to start promoting that matter that day, and let a lot of fine works enter Wu Sangui's territory to start publicizing, and within a few days, it seemed that everyone in the world knew that Wu Sangui was cuckolded, speaking of Wu Sangui's name, in addition to the traitor and traitor, there was another green hat. This made Wu Sangui quite unbearable.
"Smack!" In the study, Wu Sangui angrily threw the teacup on the table to the ground, and was immediately broken into several pieces, and the maids on both sides shrank their heads and did not dare to move.
"Check! Check it out for me! Who the hell said it! Wu Sangui was furious at this time.
"Liu Xia! This king will not let you go! ”
After a while, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded, and then a personal guard entered Wu Sangui's study, and the personal guard bowed respectfully to Wu Sangui, and said, "Great King, we have arrested a lot of messengers, but they have not confessed who told them. All they knew was that a stranger had given them silver taels and told them to speak. ”
"Who did it?" Wu Sangui fell into deep thought.
"Liu Xia? It can't be Liu Xia, it's too late for Liu Xia to hide this matter, and he is definitely not from Luoyang. At this time, the people in Luoyang are probably also worried about this. So who should it be? Glamorous? There is no need to say this to Shang Kexi, now that the two of them are not incompatible, Shang Kexi will not say such an ugly thing, unless Shang Kexi is ready to meet Wu Sangui's thunderous anger, otherwise it will not be Shang Kexi who said. Then, there is only one force, and that is the Ming Dynasty. As soon as he deployed his troops to Luzhou Mansion, this thing happened, which was too coincidental. ”
The more Wu Sangui thought about it, the more he felt that it was Nanming's people who did it, and after careful analysis, Wu Sangui completely thought that Nanming's people did it. "After this matter is said, it will only be good for Nanming, if everyone knows that my Wu Sangui's wife was robbed by Liu Xia, then I will definitely send troops to Henan to get back face, so that they can rest assured. My troops in Luzhou also have to be transferred back. Hmph, there is also a Ming Dynasty, and it actually uses such indiscriminate means. Although this king will definitely send troops to Henan, but you wait, this king will not give up. ”
As Wu Sangui expected, after this matter was spread all over the world, Liu Xia also had a headache in the study at this time, this matter was very hidden before, even if someone knew, it was just speculation, so everyone didn't say it, but now whether it's true or not, everyone agrees, it's true. Liu Xia kidnapped Chen Yuanyuan, and in fact, Liu Xia really kidnapped Chen Yuanyuan.
"Strategist, how do we deal with it?" Chen Liu was not as troubled as Liu Xia, after all, this matter was not about his reputation, Chen Liu smiled heartlessly: "The general doesn't have to worry. I believe that Wu Sangui will not really go north in a big way, even if Wu Sangui sends troops to Henan, it will only be gathered on the front line of Runing Mansion, and it will not really fight. ”
"Strategist, do you know who said this?"
Chen Liudao: "According to the analysis of his subordinates, this must be done by those people in Nanjing, and only they need to do it, no matter how you look at it, this matter is good for them." First, it not only forced Wu Sangui to direct his forces at us, thus preventing Wu Sangui from attacking them. Second, once Wu Sangui and us fight, it will be a never-ending war, even if it is fought for a few years, I am afraid that the military strength of both sides will be almost consumed by then. At that time, the people of Nanjing will no longer be afraid of us. They can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
After listening to Chen Liu's words, Liu Xia's face suddenly showed anger, and said: "It's really hateful, any conspiracy can be used." Hmph, since they did this, then General Ben didn't have to give them too much face. ”
Looking at Liu Xia's angry appearance, Chen Liu took the opportunity to say: "Please ask the general to be the king, now this is the need of the general situation, I implore the general to agree!" Chen Liu knelt on the ground after saying that, and then everyone in the room knelt down.
"Please, the general, be king!"
Liu Xia looked at everyone with some embarrassment, hesitating and didn't know what to say, in fact, Liu Xia was very happy at this time, and after a while, Liu Xia said: "After all, this is not appointed by the Southern Ming Dynasty, if I am the king alone, wouldn't it be unjustifiable." ”
Chen Liu said: "General, no, Lord Wang. Where is Nanjing still the imperial court? The Ming Dynasty has perished since the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen, we are just complying with the will of heaven, and I implore the general to be the king, otherwise we will not be able to kneel for a long time! ”
After hearing this, Liu Xia's face showed a bitter color, and he hesitated for a long time, still waving his hand to express his disagreement with the king, but those generals once again asked Liu Xia to be the king, and after repeating this three times, Liu Xia finally said: "Okay, since this is the case, then Gu will be the king for the time being." ”
Liu Xia said, those courtiers also got up happily, Liu Xia continued: "The notice goes down, from now on, the Zheng Guogong Mansion will be officially renamed Zheng Wangfu, the general will be King Zheng, Bian Yujing will be the princess Zheng, and Kou Baimen will be the side concubine." "The reason why Liu Ru was not named a side concubine by Liu Xia is as long as Liu Ru is status is not high, because Liu Ru was sent by Nanming.
The matter of Liu Xia's claim to be the king was like the wind, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout Luoyang City, and then began to spread around.
Zheng Guogong's plaque was taken down, and then a plaque of 'Zheng Wangfu' was put up. Although Liu Xia is only the king, it is enough to show that Liu Xia has the ambition to dominate the world, which makes those who want to become the founding heroes in the troubled times and leave their names in history.
So someone took out the poem that Liu Xia plagiarized from Grandpa Mao in Mengjin before:
"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless.
Up and down the river, all of a sudden.
Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to test higher than the heavens,
It must be a sunny day, and look at the red makeup, which is extraordinarily enchanting.
There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.
Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style;
Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish.
Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.
The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. It was also printed in the newspapers. However, Liu Xia did not say that he was independent of Nanming, but this is already a self-contained system on the surface.
Liu Xia was called the king, naturally there were people who opposed it, and there was no shortage of corrupt Confucians who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the officialdom of Luoyang. On the third day of Liu Xia's proclamation as king, they gathered more than a dozen people who were kneeling motionless outside King Zheng's mansion, demanding that Liu Xia not be crowned king, and personally went to Nanjing to plead guilty.
"Smack!" Liu Xia slapped the table heavily, his face still angry.
"Who promoted these people? Remove the one who was promoted to Lone! It's really hateful, isn't it better than the Ming Dynasty to do it to the people? If it weren't for Lone, they wouldn't know where to beg for food now, and today they would dare to oppose Lone as king! It's hateful. ”
