Chapter 23: The Sangui Rebellion

If Wang Chengen hadn't called me to come to the study, I would have forgotten about this broken scripture.

I haven't met a second person who knows the scriptures since the day the Beijing Assassins robbed them, but the fact that it has reappeared in the Imperial City of Nanjing can't help but surprise me a little.

One of the reasons why I was amazed was the reproduction of the scriptures.

On the other hand, I found this box of scriptures very special.

The pattern on the box is exactly the same as the one on the cover of the book, but the color is different, as if the book in this box is not the same as the one in my hand.

In other words, this "Xuanhua Sutra" is likely to be a complete set of works, but it has been divided into several books.

I opened the box, but it was fucked up, there were no scriptures in it.

"Ah......" Wang Chengen was also stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave definitely didn't take the scriptures. ”

"I know you won't take it, so you don't have to think about it."

Originally, I was not interested in this scripture, but the Nanjing book disappeared, and I felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden in this thing.

You know, in Beijing at that time, after the two assassins were caught by me, they said the sentence "The dog emperor actually doesn't know", and then the two of them committed suicide.

From this point of view, this "Xuanhua Sutra" is by no means an ordinary thing.

And the person who stole the Nanjing scripture is likely to know the secrets in the book, but who could this person be?

I thought about it for a while, and then told Wang Chengen to hurry up and find out who stole the scriptures, and then left the upper study with doubts, and went straight to Chen Yuanyuan's dormitory.

……

I eagerly pushed open the door of Chen Yuanyuan's room, only to find that it was empty, and she was not there at all.

I hurriedly asked the maid who served her, but the maid said that Chen Yuanyuan had just come back crying, packed her luggage and left, and told her not to tell anyone.

Nima, when I heard this, buddy, I became anxious.

"Damn, blame me, blame me......" I muttered to myself.

Needless to say, Chen Yuanyuan must have run away in a bad mood because of Wu Sangui's matter.

After all, buddy, I'm responsible in this matter.

Thinking that she is alone and helpless, and she doesn't know martial arts, and now Nanjing is still unstable, buddy, I am extremely worried.

So I called Zhang Zhao over and told him to search Chen Yuanyuan for me all over the city at once, and be sure to bring her back.

Zhang Zhao laughed instantly and said to me: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, Chen Yuanyuan, a dusty woman, has left the palace, and it is estimated that the only place to survive is those green buildings, and the minister will send someone to find it immediately." ”

Damn it! When I heard the word Qinglou, my heart was broken.

If she really goes to be a prostitute, buddy, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

Worry is worry, but I didn't get down to business, after Zhang Zhao left, I went back to my dormitory and took out the "Xuanhua Sutra" again.

I read it carefully, but I still didn't find the mystery, and I couldn't help but scratch my head.

Seeing that I was a little impatient, Shuang'er came over with a cup of tea and said, "The emperor will drink tea first, and let the concubines help you take a look." ”

After saying that, she flipped through the scriptures and took out the dagger she was wearing.

"Frost, what are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine is thinking that the cover of the book is so thick, will there be something hidden in it, so I want to use a dagger to cut it open."

"Oops! Yes, I didn't expect that my eldest wife Shuang'er was smart. ”

I put down the teacup and pressed the cover to let Frost scratch, but it was fucked up, there was nothing in it.

"How can this be the emperor?"

"Damn, this shit scripture is so annoying. Forget it, don't look for it, don't look for it. ”

"Don't be anxious, don't be in a hurry, take your time and always find the mystery."

I was so upset that I even thought that there might be no secrets in this scripture, but that someone had deliberately made something up, so someone gave up their lives to rob this.

"Forget it, eldest wife, you study slowly, I went to the study to look at other books, I can't understand this broken scripture book."

I didn't go to the study to read books, my buddies really didn't have much interest in those sages' works, I mainly went to wait for Zhang Zhao and Chen Yuanyuan.

I was bored in the study and waited until the middle of the night when Zhang Zhao's turtle son came back, I thought there was good news, but he said that he searched all the Qinglou restaurants in Nanjing, but he didn't see Chen Yuanyuan.

Nima, hearing him say this, I was even more worried, and I felt that I had hurt Chen Yuanyuan.

But there was no choice but to tell him to continue looking.

However, it's very fucked up, Zhang Zhao searched for three days in a row, almost searched the entire city of Nanjing, and still didn't find Chen Yuanyuan.

Not finding Chen Yuanyuan already made me very depressed, and what made me even more depressed was that after Wu Sangui returned to Hangzhou, he didn't send Princess Changping to me for a long time, and even the messenger I sent to see him didn't fucking come back.

Wu Sangui did this, which made me a little scared, and I even felt that he was most likely acting with me during the negotiation that day.

Because if he had a seizure on the spot, I would never have let him leave Nanjing, and I would have killed him.

In view of this, I really had no choice but to send Zhang Zhao to Hangzhou again.

thought that if Zhang Zhao couldn't come back, then Wu Sangui would definitely rebel.

The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to me, and I immediately asked Zheng Chenggong to mobilize a large army to hold the Yangtze River.

At the same time, I began to think about how I would deal with Wu Sangui if it was really the opposite.

According to historical records, with Wu Sangui's military talent, Zheng Chenggong couldn't resist it at all.

Once Wu Sangui's army crossed the Yangtze River and Jiangnan lost its natural barrier, it could be said that it would be easy for Wu Sangui to clean me up.

But I didn't dare to send troops to Hangzhou easily, because the situation was not clear enough now, and if Wu Sangui did not rebel, it would cause misunderstanding.

For a while, buddy, I felt like I was stuck in a quagmire, neither advancing nor retreating.

Just when I was anxious, Zhang Zhao came back, but Princess Changping did not come back.

I asked Zhang Zhao what was going on, and Zhang Zhao reported that Wu Sangui asked him to send me a message, if I want Princess Changping, please send Chen Yuanyuan to Hangzhou immediately.

Damn it! Hearing this, Lao Tzu immediately became angry, Wu Sangui was completely trying to blackmail me.

But I can also see that this guy is not loyal to me in his bones, and he actually had a plan to detain Princess Changping, which is the same as I expected before.

In view of this situation, Xia Wanchun's young man said: "Your Majesty, since Wu Sangui wants Chen Yuanyuan, then give him that slut, at least for the time being, he can stabilize him." ”

What Xia Wanchun said was both right and wrong, because in my opinion, Wu Sangui already had a rebellious heart against me, and it was impossible for a Chen Yuanyuan to satisfy him.

"Xiao Xia, I also want to give Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui, but now Chen Yuanyuan knows where he went."

"Oh, it's really a drama to mislead the country." Xia Wanchun complained.

"Your Majesty, since the matter has come to this, the minister thinks that even if he finds Chen Yuanyuan and gives her to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui will not be loyal to the emperor, so it is better for us to come directly with him!" Zheng Chenggong said categorically.

Zheng Chenggong is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and he sees the problem much more thoroughly than Xia Wanchun.

With Wu Sangui's current attitude, he is completely sitting on the mountain and watching.

He didn't really surrender to Li Zicheng, nor did he really want to follow me.

Once the situation between Da Ming and Chuang Jun changes slightly, he will fall to the side that is beneficial to him.

I thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Zheng, if you start a war with Wu Sangui now, how many layers do you have to defeat him?" ”

"If you only rely on the existing forces in Nanjing, the minister can grasp it at most three levels. But if the Zheng family's sailors in Fujian can be transferred to Hangzhou by sea, even if Wu Sangui uses soldiers like a god, the ministers are eighty percent sure of defeating him. ”

As soon as Zheng Chenggong said this, I suddenly became enlightened, but after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was inappropriate.

"Xiao Zheng, what you said makes sense, it is indeed a good way to attack on land and water. But I'm worried that before your Zheng family's sailors arrive in Hangzhou, Wu Sangui will already start attacking Nanjing, and then it will be troublesome. ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, Chen Ming can send someone to inform his father now, my father has been crisscrossing the sea all the year round, and the marching speed is extremely fast, and it only takes three days to reach Hangzhou. As long as the emperor can delay Wu Sangui, the minister believes that our army will win this battle. ”

It's not difficult to drag Wu Sangui down, there are still some tricks to do it, but when it comes to Zheng Chenggong's father, Lao Tzu is very uneasy.

Gao Xiaosong said in "The Tragedy of the Southern Ming Dynasty" that Zheng Chenggong's father was Zheng Zhilong, who was originally the largest pirate leader on the southeast coast, and later established a small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

It is not so much that Zheng Zhilong is a military general, but that he is a wall grass.

Using him, in fact, is the same as when I used Wu Sangui, it is completely gambling.

But buddy can't do anything now, so he can only gamble.

So I said to Zheng Gongcheng: "Xiao Zheng, then do it according to your plan, and you will send someone to inform you of the king of thieves now...... Inform your father and tell him that there is nothing wrong with this. As for Wu Sangui's side, I will find a way to hold him back! ”
