Wu Sangui has a wife, Zhang, that is, Wu Yingxiong's biological mother, who is a native of Liaodong. The Zhang family is very ugly and jealous, so it can be said that she is a shrew, and Wu Sangui is very afraid of her. At that time, the wife of Cui Zhiying, the political envoy of Yunnan, was no less than Zhang's. So, Wu and Cui took pity on each other. Cui often talked to Wu Sangui, and the two sat together and choked up when they talked about the one in the family. But fortunately, Chen Yuanyuan is empathetic and can sing and dance, although he is no longer young at this time, he is still deeply favored by Wu Sangui.

On this day, Wu Sangui was in a good mood, so he came to Anfu Garden to find Yuanyuan. Anfu Garden, also known as Wild Garden, is a villa built by Wu Sangui specifically for Chen Yuanyuan, located on the left side of Kunming New Mansion. Together with Wuhua Palace, the wild garden covers an area of dozens of miles. The small bridge in the park flows water, and the platform is built on both sides of the canal to confront each other, there are hundreds of zhang high, and there is a bridge in the middle to connect, and people can board the bridge, and volleys come and go. There are a lot of strange flowers and plants in the garden, as well as the pines and cypresses that towering in the clouds, attract many rare birds and birds, all year round, the spring is bright and beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, as if the fairyland on earth.

On this day, Wu Sangui was in a good mood, so he came to Anfu Garden to find Yuanyuan. As soon as Wu Sangui walked into the garden, he heard a round and beautiful singing:

Floating clouds and spring city limits,

Who is like Gusutai.

Yiguang didn't go to walk the elk,

Red walls and green trees, birds perched and mourning.

Let the firefly garden be embraced by a thousand mountains,

Dig a pond and throw ten thousand surnames to the mound.

Bi wears the old room to ask for Qionghua,

Wonderful selection of good family singing Luo Yu.

"What a good choice, sing Luo Hao, haha!" Wu Sangui applauded Yuanyuan.

"Ah, it's the prince!" Yuan Yuanzheng was singing intently, and then he found that Wu Sangui came in at some point. "I didn't even notice when you came."

"Hehe, this king has just come over. Alas? What song did you just sing, so beautiful? ”

"Back to the prince, it is the new southern opera "Wild Garden Song". Yuanyuan is born in a pear orchard, so he is naturally good at singing and dancing. While talking, the two sat down in the pavilion.

"Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a while, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Well, yes, there have been a lot of political affairs recently, and I haven't been able to get free. I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll sit with you. Wu Sangui sighed.

Yuan Yuan was the most understanding, so he asked: "Lord Wang, has anything gone wrong recently?" ”

"No, maybe it's old, plus I have to deal with all kinds of military affairs every day, and my energy is not as good as before." Wu Sangui said casually.

"Lord, I heard someone say..."Yuan Yuan said in a hurry.

"What did someone say? There is no need to hide between you and me. ”

"Some people say, you recently met with some anti-Qing people?" Yuanyuan hesitated for a long time, but still said.

Wu Sangui said in his heart that it was really a good thing not to go out, and "bad things" spread thousands of miles. But after thinking about it, the eldest husband does things above board, isn't he here to confide in Yuanyuan today? "Well, I'm not going to hide it from you. Now heroes from all walks of life have come to persuade me to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, and this king also has this intention. Yuanyuan, what do you think? ”

"No, my lord!" Yuan Yuan heard that Wu Sanguiguo had objections, and said anxiously, "The court treats you well and makes you a prince." This is the glory that the Han people have never had, how can you rebel against the imperial court? ”

"O you, woman's opinion. Where is the court treating me well, he just uses this king to control Han with Han. Wu Sangui continued, "I am the first emperor's Pingxibo, and I also gave Shang Fang the sword. When I borrowed Qing soldiers to enter the customs, I made an oath with the Qing people, the purpose was to eliminate the thieves, and then agreed to enthrone the crown prince, draw the Yellow River as the boundary, and cede the land as a vassal. How could you think that the Qing people would fool the king and not let the prince enter Beijing, but proclaim himself the emperor! The Qing people are treacherous, and the principles of heaven are intolerable! ”

"Hey, it's all in the past, why are you mentioning it? Now that the Qing Dynasty has been in charge of the Central Plains for more than 20 years, I think it's very good, the people are living a stable life again, what are we going to do against him. ”

"Do you know how many innocent people the Qing army slaughtered when they entered the customs? Yangzhou 10 days, Jiading three massacres, Suzhou slaughter, Guangzhou slaughter, almost every time they occupy a city, they have to slaughter the city once. No less than six million people were slaughtered. You must know that the total number of Han people is only 60 million, which is almost one out of every ten Han people who died under the butcher's knife of the Qing soldiers. The three strategies of shaving hair and easy to wear, throwing in enclosures, coastal relocation, and controlling the people, one pile and one piece, are all outrageous! Wu Sangui said angrily.

"What are the three strategies for controlling the people?" Yuan Yuan asked.

"The three policies of controlling the people, namely: the foolish people, the weak people, and the sick people, are the policies put forward by the Qing people in order to fool the Han people and enslave the people."

"The common people are not stupid, how can they be so easy to fool." Yuan Yuan didn't believe it.

"A few days ago, the former Prime Minister of the Lee Dynasty of North Korea, Chung Tae-ho, came to visit me and told me an incident that I think is very revealing. As an envoy to Korea, Zheng Taihe sent an envoy to Beijing shortly after the Qing army entered the customs. At that time, just after the order to shave their hair was issued, the people along the way saw that the Korean envoys did not wear braids and wore Hanfu, and they knelt on both sides and wept silently; More than 20 years later, when he came to Beijing as an envoy, he saw a completely different scene: people saw the North Korean envoys without braids and wearing Hanfu, laughing wildly and leaning forward and backward as if they were monkeys. ”

"Oh, my lord, the concubine understands. It turns out that the Qing people are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact they are so despicable. The cheap concubine is deep in the boudoir, where do you understand these national righteousness. Yuan Yuan's eyes flashed, "But I still oppose your anti-Qing restoration and anger for the Han people." Because I'm worried about Ying Xiong's safety, isn't he still holding him hostage in the capital? ”

Speaking of Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui chuckled in his heart. Wu Yingxiong is hostage in Beijing, which is indeed a piece of Wu Sangui's heart. He was silent for a moment and said, "That's true. Let's see if we can get him back. ”

"The concubine has another worry, that is, the Manchurian Eight Banners are invincible, can the prince be sure of victory when he raises troops?"

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Now people are thinking about the Han Dynasty, and the people's feelings for the Ming Dynasty are far away from the Tang and Song dynasties. This king had been fighting the Eight Banners in Liaodong for many years, and was well aware of the extreme backwardness hidden behind its formidable exterior. Many places are my old days, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hunan and other provinces, the transmission can be determined, and the restoration of the Central Plains is as easy as a snap! Wu Sangui said confidently.

"The concubine is just worried about the safety of the prince, and she just wants to enjoy the glory and wealth with the prince." Yuan Yuan cried and threw herself into Wu Sangui's arms, she only had Wu Sangui in her heart, for fear that he would have three long and two short, and then he could only enter the temple as a nun.

Wu Sangui came out of Anfu Garden, but strengthened his determination to oppose the Qing Dynasty. He is such a person, the more others oppose him, the more determined he becomes. At this time, the doorman came in and reported that an old man had come to visit. Wu Sangui ordered him to come in.

I saw that the person who came was in his thirties, holding a jade flute, with a sword on his back, beautiful and phoenixy, kind and good-looking, and moving gentle and elegant with his hands, like Zhaojun Gu Ying pity.

If you don't look closely, you think it's a beautiful woman!

Wu Sangui looked at him, he couldn't think of it for a while, he only felt that he was dressed in white, so he asked, "Sir, may I ask your name?" ”

"Under Wang Shirong."

"Wang Shirong? The king doesn't seem to know you. ”

Wang Shirong said: "Lord Wang, have you forgotten the story in Jinzhou twenty years ago? ”

Wu Sangui fell into the memory. When Wu Sangui entered Jinzhou, he asked Zu Dashou's military advisor for advice, and the military advisor gave him the method of cultivating obscurity. He also told him that after 20 years, he would send someone to help him achieve great things.

Wu Sangui suddenly remembered, and said in a lost voice: "Sir, you are that little scholar?" ”

Wang Shirong replied: "It's exactly below." ”

"Oops, how come I didn't know your original name?"

"The name is something outside of the body, so you don't have to care."

Wu Sangui nodded and asked, "Is that what your master called you to do?" ”

Wang Shirong said: "Yes. ”

Wu Sangui asked, "Is his old man still well?" ”

"Master, he has passed away." Wang Shirong said, put the jade flute to his mouth, and blew:

The fierce wind of the king, the clouds are heavy in the four seas. Qianqiu Xiang feathers have blood on their necks, but Wujiang is hateful, and it is difficult to dye red. dissipated the heroic spirit, and there was no reason to go to Jiangdong to be a ghost. The wanderers of the later generations of the empty religion are forgetful of the blue water!

After blowing the song, Wu Sangui's eyes were ruddy, and he said: "In the past, Liu Xuande had Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain. And I, Wu, how can I have Mr. come to assist! After that, I want to pay a big salute to Wang Shirong.

Wang Shirong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Lord Wang, you really torture me like this." ”

"Sir, hurry inside, please." Wu Sangui let Wang Shirong into the inner room, and the two were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, and they were tireless all night. Wu Sangui couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Throughout the world, the long howl of poetry, the writing of ink, the sharp edge of the conversation, the ancient Zhang Liang is not as good as you!" Mr. is really the old man's little Zhang Liang! ”

Wang Shirong said: "The prince praises falsely. ”

Wu Sangui and Wang Shirong discussed, and Wang Shirong suggested that he should contact the heroes of the world to fight against the Qing Dynasty in advance. So, taking the opportunity of Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong returning from Beijing to the domain, they contacted the two kings of Pingnan and Jingnan, and visited Zheng Jing by the way. "Then let's have Mr. Law."

"Please rest assured."
