(ps: It's the end of the month, and there are a few more hours until Monday, ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month and a recommended ticket for the next week.) ）

"General Hu, Lord Lu's words are also in our hearts, if you really want to kill him, a loyal minister of the Pingxi Palace, please kill us together!"

Wang Shirong, Liu Xuanchu and Fang Guangchen got up together, knelt in front of Hu Guozhu, and took the initiative to stretch out their necks to ask for killing, Fang Guangchen also said loudly: "General Hu, if the three good nephews were not sincere and loyal to the prince and our Pingxi Palace, he would never be able to say such a thing!" Over the years, the court has forced us to go further, we have taken a step back, we have been forced to the corner, now God has given us a good opportunity for the Pingxi Palace, we will not seize the opportunity to fight back, do we really have to wait until the court dispute is over, and free up our hands to force us into a desperate situation? ”

"Yes, the civil strife in the imperial court is the supreme opportunity given to us by God to the Pingxi Palace, if we miss this opportunity, once the imperial court frees up our hands, it will be too late for us to regret it!" Liu Xuanchu also said loudly.

"General Hu, if you still want to look ahead and miss this opportunity, then you are the sinner of Pingxi Palace!" Wang Shirong had to be angry, and shouted even more unceremoniously: "The strategy adopted by the imperial court against our Pingxi Royal Mansion is to weaken first and then withdraw, first use all kinds of means to weaken our strength, cut down the army on which we rely for the world, divide and buy our generals, and finally remove our feudal domain in one fell swoop!" The birds are all hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked! General Hu, if you really want to see that day, then please kill all of us loyal ministers of the Pingxi Royal Mansion now, maybe the court will let General Hu give you a way out! ”

Lu Fatzi's words hit Hu Guozhu's key point solidly, so although Hu Guozhu's face became more and more blue and black, his teeth were clenched more and more tightly, and the green tendons in his right hand holding the saber were jumping more and more, Hu Guozhu still understood in his heart that whether it was Lu Fatzi, Liu Xuanchu, Wang Shirong and Fang Guangchen, what he said was the truth, and it was also the real truth. Isn't that the monarch regarded as a thorn in the flesh and wants to kill him quickly? And over the years, Mite Qing's suspicion of Wu Sangui and the embankment have almost been semi-public, as Wu Sangui's eldest son-in-law and number one confidant, Hu Guozhu, hasn't he dreamed of such an end a few times and was shocked into a cold sweat?

On one side is Hu Guozhu, who is raising a knife and glaring angrily, on the other hand, there is Lu Fatzi, who is fearless, and on the other hand, Wu Sangui's three important henchmen are kneeling on their knees. At this time, the study was suddenly kicked open, and Wu Sangui and Wu Laohan, who were still holding bows and arrows in their hands, rushed in sweating, and shouted before they could see the situation in the study clearly: "Mr. Maoyao, Liangchen, Yifeng, I heard that you came here directly when you came back, why don't you go to meet this king ......?" ”

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui suddenly paused, looked at Hu Guozhu who was holding a waist knife in his hand, Liu Xuanchu and others who were kneeling on his knees, and exclaimed, "Guozhu, what are you doing?" How can they be rude to Mr. Maoya? Put the knife down! There is something to say, in the king's Pingxi Palace, there is no infighting! ”

"The prince misunderstood, we are not infighting." Liu Xuanchu shook his head.

Liu Xuanchu was about to explain in detail, but he didn't expect Hu Guozhu to suddenly take a step forward, and he also knelt in front of Wu Sangui on both knees, raised the waist knife in his hand above his head, and said loudly: "Father-in-law, please do it, please kill the son-in-law and Mr. Mao Yao!" ”

"Lord Wang, please do it." Lu Fatzi thought very quickly, immediately came back to his senses, and quickly knelt in front of Wu Sangui, raised his head and said loudly: "Lord Wang, the lowly people have nothing to love, please give us a good time!" ”

"Bastard! What kind of bastard are you talking about? Wu Sangui was shocked and angry, and shouted: "What are you doing? Rise up to this king! You're all full, why did you suddenly remember to want this king to kill you all?! ”

Hu Guozhu didn't answer, but only signaled the entourage and subordinates behind Wu Sangui with his eyes, and the subordinates in Hu Guozhu's courtyard naturally understood, and quickly and honestly exited the study, but the entourage behind Wu Sangui was at a loss, and just turned their eyes to Wu Sangui, waiting for Wu Sangui's order. And at this time, Wu Sangui also came back to his senses a little bit, and bowed to his entourage, and all the entourages honestly retreated, closed the door and took strict precautions, making room for Wu Sangui and others to talk alone.

"Tell me, what the hell is it for?" Wu Sangui found a chair and sat down, and said with a blushing face: "You bastards, what kind of medicine did you take wrong?" Why do you suddenly remember that I want this king to kill you? ”

"Father-in-law, we can't help it." Hu Guozhu said in a deep voice: "Ao Bai killed Wu Liuyi, controlled the military power in the capital, and the contradiction with the emperor has been completely made public!" In this case, Lao Taishan, you are still indecisive, hesitant, and hesitant to make up your mind to take advantage of the fire to rob, miss the opportunity, the son-in-law and Mr. Mao Yao They were forced to be helpless, and they had to make this decision, please father-in-law make up your mind, adopt our suggestions, and use this opportunity to re-strengthen our Pingxi Palace, so that no one dares to fight our Pingxi Palace's bad idea again! ”

"So that's it?" Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "If you have something to say, this king urgently summoned Mr. Mao Yao and Liangchen back to Kunming, and also called Yifeng back, isn't it just to discuss this matter with you?" You can't just say it, why are you looking for death and life? ”

"The prince forgives the sin." Fang Guangchen said: "The reason why we are doing this is because we all understand that this matter is too big, and you will definitely hesitate and make up your mind!" But time will not wait for anyone, if you wait until Ao Bai and the emperor decide the winner, and then make a decision, it will be too late to say anything! Therefore, I waited for the courage to ask the prince to make a decision, and immediately made up my mind, or join forces to help one side win, or try to make the struggle between the two sides more and more expanded, and it will be protracted, so that my Pingxi Royal Mansion can take the opportunity to sit big, so as to dominate the world! ”

"Lord, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!" Liu Xuanchu also said: "The two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou controlled by my Pingxi Royal Mansion have poor people and thin land, and the population is scarce, not to mention that they have been fighting against the power of the whole country for many years, even if they use it to protect themselves, they can't support it for long!" Only by taking this opportunity to strengthen the strength, let Aobai and the emperor kill each other, consume each other, and eliminate the other's strengths, can my Pingxi Wangfu be invincible! ”

"Lord, the matter of the salary at the beginning of this year, presumably the prince has already reported it truthfully to the prince." Lu Fatzi said eloquently: "My Pingxi Palace's salary can win a big victory this year, thanks to Aobai's sudden defection, which temporarily stopped the emperor's poisonous plan to gradually weaken my Pingxi Palace!" At present, Aobai has met with the emperor's semi-public sword soldiers, if I continue to stand by and watch, not only to Aobai, but also to infamy, if Aobai accidentally falls, above the court, in the capital, there are still dare to say a good word for my Pingxi Palace? Won't my Pingxi Mansion become a thing on the anvil, and let the mermaid meat be slaughtered? ”

"Lord, it was the emperor who was unjust to you first, you support Aobai, you are worthy of heaven and earth, and you live up to your conscience!" Wang Shirong said loudly: "Lord Wang, please think about it, how much credit you have made for the imperial court, and how loyal you are to the emperor, but how does the emperor treat you?" Even Lin Tianqing, if he hadn't betrayed the prince and promised to give the emperor an eyeliner to spy on the prince, the emperor would never have sent him to Yunnan to be the governor, the emperor's hostility and jealousy towards you have been so obvious, do you still want to continue to be killed, prince? ! ”

"You have a point, and the king knows that you are sincere and faithful, but ......." Wu Sangui was still hesitant.

"Father-in-law, you can't hesitate any longer." Hu Guozhu did the same, kneeled a few steps in front of Wu Sangui, hugged Wu Sangui's legs and cried, crying and sobbing, "Old Taishan, this is the opportunity given to us by God to Pingxi Palace, and it is also the last chance that God gave us Pingxi Palace, if we miss this opportunity again, we Pingxi Palace, we will have to bear the difficulties and rectification from the imperial court alone, at that time, Lao Taishan your reputation will be ruined in one fell swoop, whether you can save your family name and life, I am afraid that it is also two words!" ”

"Lord Wang, you can't hesitate any longer, if you hesitate any longer, it will be a man-made sword, and I will be a fish." Fang Guangchen cried.

Lu Fatzi's tears were even cheaper, and he came as soon as he said it, and while kowtowing desperately, he howled and cried: "Lord, we don't covet the glory and wealth you give, but we don't want to see you being bullied and ruined by those young people in the court." The intention and strategy of the imperial court is already very obvious, first Aobai, and then you are the prince, if you don't hurry up and lend a hand, hold on to the shield of Aobai, Aobai has fallen, and you will be the next Aobai! Lord, do you really want to be taken away by the imperial court and driven back to Liaodong for the rest of your life? ”

Wang Shirong was thin-skinned, but he didn't cry with Lu Fatzi, Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen, but Liu Xuanchu was taken a lot by the students, and he choked up with old tears and said: "Lord, we don't want you to rebel, we just let you use this opportunity to re-strengthen our Pingxi Palace, so that no one dares to underestimate you, so that no one dares to look at you squarely!" ”

Several henchmen and lackeys knelt in front of them and cried, and every word they said was all for their own sake, Wu Sangui was moved, and it was inevitable that some people began to reflect, feeling that they were getting older, and their enterprising spirit and heroism had been wiped out by the years? Over the years, he has endured and endured the imperial court, in exchange for Emperor Mazi's advance and advance, aggressive, is it too weak? Too easy to be bullied? After Wu Liuyi's incident, the idiots could see that Ao Bai and Emperor Mazi were almost in the same room, and it was clear that it was a God-given opportunity for the re-emergence of his Pingxi Palace, and he was still so indecisive and hesitant, was he too stupid?

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Sangui slowly stood up, slowly picked up Hu Guozhu's previous waist knife, suddenly turned around and slashed at the back of the chair, splitting the back of the chair in two! In the sound of the back of the chair falling to the ground, Wu Sangui's tiger and wolf voice sounded for many years, "Say, what should this king do?" How can we take advantage of this opportunity to re-energize our Pingxi Palace?! ”

"Tell Ao Bai that it's okay for us to support him, even if it's to support him to do Yi Yin Huoguang's things, but next year's military salary can only be increased, not reduced!" Hu Guozhu, who was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, was the first to say.

"Not only do we support Ao Bai to be Yi Yin Huoguang, even if he wants to be Zhao Kuangyin, we can also support it!" Liu Xuanchu was the second to say; "But the premise is that our Pingxi Royal Mansion will re-expand its army, and the open strength must be expanded to at least 30,000 or more! In this way, when he became the emperor, if there is a rebellion in the local area, we will have the strength to go north to King Qin! ”

"Give Ao Bai some more substantial support." Fang Guangchen was the third to say: "First, the intelligence power of our Pingxi Royal Mansion in the capital is shared with Aobai!" Second, let our crowd impeach Mo Luo, the governor of Shanxi Province, who worships his sworn enemy in the local area, and give him an excuse to bring down Mo Luo, which not only blows the prestige of the emperor, but also buys the heart of the Han people in the world! Third, contact the Pingnan and Jingnan palaces, so that they can also respond to support Aobai, and if necessary, provide channels for Aobai to get in touch directly with these two vassal kings. ”

"Encourage Ao Bai to follow Zhao Kuangyin's example and provide him with all the support he can." Wang Shirong said not quickly, but his voice was the most ruthless, "If Ao Bai can succeed, then the world will inevitably return to chaos. ”

"Yifeng, what do you think?" Wu Sangui pointed at Fat Lu again.

"First, let Ao Bai come forward to arrange, let the prince return to Yunnan Province, and cut off the prince's worries." Lu Fatzi said unhurriedly: "Second, let Ao Bai pay attention to the Rehe garrison, the Beijing garrison has become the focus of competition between the Ao Party and the Imperial Party, and it is necessary to prevent the Imperial Party from suddenly using the strange army of Rehe." Remind Ao Bai that if he can take the crucial pass of Zhenluo Pass, then even if the Rehe army suddenly kills, Ao Bai will be able to buy at least one or two days of crucial precious time. ”

"Third, the Eight Banners Fushou Paste produced in Yungui must be tax-free nationwide, which is the most important source of wealth for our Pingxi Mansion in the coming year, if we don't take this opportunity to win this privilege, there will be no chance in the future, and the imperial court can also use the tax on goods to continue to jam the neck of our Yungui money and grain."

"Fourth, gunpowder! Although we are not afraid of the imperial court now blocking the source of saltpeter, but the expensive saltpeter is still an extremely important strategic material, we have one or two, the imperial court will have one or two, let Aobai provide us with a batch of saltpeter, even if it is not used, it can also play a role in weakening the imperial court! ”

"Fifth, the civil administration of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces must be withdrawn, and in the current situation in the capital, neither the Ao Party nor the Imperial Party dare to offend us casually, and it is very likely that they will succeed in taking it back. Even if it can't be recovered with the support of the Ao Party, it can also distract the attention of the Imperial Party, buy time and opportunity for Ao Bai, and at the same time deepen the contradiction between the Ao Party and the Imperial Party! ”

"Sixth!" The more Lu Fatzi spoke, the faster he said, "Whether our army's re-expansion is incompetent or not, the ordinary soldiers in the main army must also start to train strictly according to the method of training, and when necessary, our army can easily expand the army tenfold!" ”

"Seventh, grain and grass! This year, the lake is ripe, and we must let Aobai find a way to add an extra batch of grain and grass to us, even if we can't eat it this year, we can also hoard it to prevent it! ”

"Eighth, the steel necessary for forging weapons and armor, although we in Yunnan and Guizhou are not short of iron ore, but the more the merrier is always good, Sichuan and Hunan are located inland, and the demand for weapons is small - we help Ao Bai so much, and we are ready to lead troops to the king at any time to support him to ascend the throne and become emperor, we are strong, and it is also good for him, isn't it? There is also the ninth ....... ”

"Alright, alright." Wu Sangui wiped his sweat and interrupted Lu Fatzi's talking, and said: "You put forward so many conditions in one breath, Ao Bai has to turn his face with this king, so let's do it, you should hurry up and draw up a statement, and then comprehensively and uniformly negotiate, sort out some conditions that Ao Bai will definitely agree to, try to strive for more benefits, and sort out those aspects that should be supported by Ao Bai, so that he and our Mazi Emperor will fight more fiercely." Then decide who to send to the capital to negotiate with Aobai and negotiate a joint effort - to deal with our Mazi Emperor! ”

………………

Wu Sangui finally made up his mind to join forces with Aobai, and the bad breeds led by Lu Fatzi in the Pingxi Wangfu finally caught the opportunity to show their strength, that night, several bad breeds didn't sleep all night, and they searched their stomachs and figured out a lot of conditions that forced Ao Bai to sell pants and had to agree to rob while they were on fire, and then sorted out a comprehensive plan to support Ao Bai - in fact, it is Ao Bidenji's plan to quell the chaos after being the emperor, the capital is too far away from Yunnan, even if Wu Sangui wants to fully support Ao Bai to usurp the throne and rebel, At most, he can only send a small number of good players north to the capital to assist Aobai in launching a coup, but Aobai definitely does not lack this, so this can only be used as an empty favor.

The complete plan of the Pingxi Palace, which took advantage of the fire, was sorted out by several Pingxi Wangfu think tanks, including Lu Fatzi, and personally written by Fang Guangchen, who was the same age as Wu Sangui, and finally decided to send Wu Sangui's eldest son-in-law Hu Guozhu to the north in person to secretly contact and negotiate with Aobai, so as to prove the sincerity of the cooperation between the Pingxi Palace's palace and Aobai -- after all, Hu Guozhu, who was both civil and military, was too important to Wu Sangui and the entire Pingxi Palace, and he personally went to negotiate with Aobai, so he could not believe in Wu Sangui's sincerity.

Hu Guozhu's excuse for going north to the capital is ready-made, the new year is about to start again, and the Pingxi Wangfu is supposed to send people to the capital to congratulate the New Year, so after sorting out this plan to take advantage of the fire and reporting it to Wu Sangui for approval, on the morning of the third day when Lu Fatzi and others arrived in Kunming, Hu Guozhu led a team of guards from Kunming and rushed to the capital to fish in the troubled waters and rob while the fire was fire. Lu Fatzi secretly conducted another explosion experiment of Sanhao brand gunpowder in Kunming, so that Wu Sangui could see the terrifying power of Sanhao brand gunpowder, encouraged Wu Sangui's confidence in confronting the Mites Qing court, and at the same time won Wu Sangui's full support for the development of new weapons, and then Lu Fatzi also said goodbye to Wu Sangui and others, and returned to Qujing alone, while Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong temporarily stayed in Kunming to fill the vacancy left by Hu Guozhu.

All the way back to Qujing, the time was already the evening of November 30 in the seventh year of Kang Mazi, just returned to his door, Lu Fatzi saw Xiao Erlang was leading a group of people to set off firecrackers in front of the door, Lu Fatzi was greatly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Erlang, what are you doing with firecrackers?" Isn't it ......? ”

"Congratulations to the young master, congratulations to the young master." Xiao Erlang gave up his hands and made a gesture, and said with a smile on his face: "Just now, the young grandmother gave birth to a big fat boy to the young master, the mother and son are safe, and the uncle said that this is a great joy, let me come out and set off firecrackers as soon as possible." ”

"I'm a dad? I'm a dad! Fat Lu was overjoyed, quickly jumped off the horse and rushed in, rushed to the back hall to see, Lu Fatzi's uncle Qin Chuanwu was really holding a baby, and he was smiling so much that the wrinkles on his face bloomed. Lu Fat Man was overjoyed, and hurriedly went up and snatched his son, and kissed him wildly without even babbling his face, "Son!" My good son! I'm finally a dad! Son, good son! ”

"Yifeng, let's give my nephew a name." Qin Chuanwu urged with a smile and sighed: "Your Lu family has been thin for generations, and now that you finally have a son, I can also explain to your parents when I go to Jiuquan in the future." Take a name, take a name, I remember that your next generation is the generation of the word 'Bang', see what is good to call Lu Bang. ”

Holding the first son and smirking for a long time, Lu Fatzi finally gave his son a name called Lu Bangjing - take the state to be quiet, and there is no intention of mites, and then Lu Fatzi ordered the whole family to put up lights, celebrate, and then ran into the delivery room to say thank you to his wife, although Shang Wanzhen hated that Lu Fatzi was not around when he gave birth, but he was really weak after giving birth, so he only twisted Lu Fatzi's ears and wrote down the account, and then slowly calculated it later.

It was a cannon and a lantern to celebrate, and when the colleagues in Qujing City received the news, they naturally had to come to the door to congratulate them, and by the way, they ate and drank together, and tossed to the second watch, and Lu Fatzi's house finally quieted down. But although Fat Lu was exhausted, he still managed not to sleep, but just called his absolute henchman Xiao Erlang and his second cousin Qin Mo into the study alone, told them about their orders, and laid out his long-brewing plan.

"Young master, are you crazy?" After hearing Fat Lu finish talking about the plan, Xiao Erlang, who had always been loyal, suddenly changed his face.

"Big cousin, what are you crazy about?" Qin Mo's face was also as pale as earth, and he said in fear: "Why are you letting go of your own son and not raising it, to help others raise their son?" ”

"Those who can't seek eternity can't seek a moment." Fat Lu said slowly: "Since I have embarked on this road, my son will be targeted sooner or later." If I don't take precautions and make arrangements for emergencies, I will inevitably be constrained in everything I will do in the future, and I will not dare to do my best. And this son of mine will inevitably suffer an even more miserable fate in the future. ”

"However, the young grandmother will never agree." Xiao Erlang said tremblingly.

"Just keep her from knowing." Fat Lu's face was even more solemn, "Her mother's side may also be eyeing my son in the future, and for her good, I can't let her know about this." Therefore, you must act quickly, and act according to the fact that she is not familiar with her son's appearance now, otherwise, once Bang Jing's appearance grows up, she will not be able to act if she wants to. ”

"Cousin, are you serious?" Qin Mo asked uneasily.

Fat Lu didn't answer, just nodded slowly, and when he lowered his head again, two tears had already oozed out of the corners of Fat Lu's eyes.
