Chapter 26 (II) That's it
(ps: The second update is delivered, it is difficult for newcomers, ask for points, ask for tickets, ask for collections.) )
"Okay, there is a reason for it, Lao Tzu forgives you for your innocence, get up." Shang Lao Han waved his hand impatiently and said, "Report the cause and effect of the matter to Lao Tzu, and don't hide anything." ”
"Father, let the child talk about this." Shang Zhixin took over the conversation and said lightly: "Actually, the matter is very simple, this year the imperial court has stepped up the pace of weakening Wu Sangui's strength, and it is to collect power and reduce salary, Wu Sangui's old thing can't stand it, and he is worried that the court will unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the rabbit will die and the dog will cook, so he started the idea of asking to withdraw the feudal domain and use the throne to buy a lifelong peace." ”
"In this way, Wu Sangui's old thing really wants to ask for the withdrawal of the domain?" Shang Lao Han asked worriedly: "And how does he plan to withdraw the domain?" Is it really the method of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain? “
"Not bad." Shang Zhixin nodded and said: "Just like Lu Yifeng said, Wu Sangui's old thing withdraws the feudal domain, just to use the method of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain to get rid of the court's suspicion of him, and to solve the problem of resettlement of soldiers after the withdrawal of the feudal domain. As for him asking Lu Yifeng to persuade his father to go to the table with him to ask for the withdrawal of the domain, he just didn't have any good intentions. ”
"Wu Sangui's old thing didn't have any good intentions?" Shang Lao Han asked vigilantly.
"Of course, it's dragging your father into the water." Shang Zhixin said gloomily: "He sent someone to persuade you to withdraw the feudal domain, and at the same time deliberately let Kong Sizhen and the people behind Kong Sizhen know about this matter, so that if you agree to withdraw the feudal domain, it is equivalent to standing on a united front with him, whether it is to ask the imperial court for additional military salaries, or to negotiate with the imperial court for the specific time of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, it is to tie your father to his Wu Sangui's old chariot, and advance and retreat with him!" Father, you can't go with him, and you can't go according to his arrangement. ”
"I see!" Shang Lao Han suddenly roared, "It's been a long time, Wu Sangui's old thing is fighting this lack of morality!" Lao Tzu almost fell for him! ”
"Speaking of which, father, you asked Lu Yifeng to bring a message to Wu Sangui's old thing, saying that he asked Wu Sangui to negotiate with the imperial court first about the conditions for withdrawing the feudal domain, and then follow suit according to the law, who wrote it for you with a bad idea?" Shang Zhixin sneered and said, "Father, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if Lu Yifeng directly brought this message to Wu Sangui and Kong Sizhen, that stinky bitch?" When the imperial court sees that you are ready to follow Wu Sangui's example and slowly withdraw the feudal domain, will you sacrifice the interests of our Guangdong to Wu Sangui on the issue of military salaries and the aftermath of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and set an example for Wu Sangui to withdraw the feudal domain? ”
"Damn, fortunately, Lu Yifeng is one of the Lao Tzu!" Shang Laohan broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly turned his head and glared at Jin Guang viciously, so that Jin Guang shrank his head, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.
"Forget it, fortunately, nothing serious happened, so this thing should not exist. Lu Yifeng is loyal to our Shang family, and he won't talk nonsense when he goes out. Shang Zhixin, who has always looked at the golden light unpleasantly, rarely showed mercy, and waved his hand to let the matter go.
"Yes, yes, Lu Yifeng, you did the right thing in this matter, fortunately you reported to Zhixin immediately, otherwise it would be a big trouble." Shang Laohan nodded again and again, and praised Lu Daxian Order a few words in an extremely rare way. At the end, Shang Lao Han Jian asked his son again: "Zhixin, then what should we do now?" Shouldn't you sternly reject Wu Sangui's old thing and cut off his thoughts? ”
"Father, are you crazy?" Shang Zhixin frowned and shouted, "Can you refuse this kind of thing?" Wu Sangui invited you to jointly withdraw the feudal domain, and deliberately leaked the news to the imperial court, father, you refused, what does the emperor think of you? What does the court think of you? Now that the emperor and the court are clearly trying to weaken Wu Sangui, do you still want to jump out to attract the suspicion of the emperor and the court? Blocking the gun eye for Wu Sangui's old thing? ”
Shang Laohan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, Wu Sangui had asked to withdraw the domain, and he still refused Wu Sangui's invitation, and resolutely refused to withdraw the domain.
"What then?" Shang Lao Han clapped his head and said in embarrassment: "This promise is to be kidnapped by Wu Sangui's old thing, and if you don't agree, it will attract the suspicion of the emperor and the court, and you will be in a dilemma, how should we deal with it?" Ignore it and act as if it never happened? ”
"Wu Sangui's old thing has already pulled Kong Sizhen's bitch into the water, and it will definitely not work if you ignore it." Shang Zhixin shook his head, "Keeping silent in this matter is tantamount to ambiguity, and ambiguity means that your father is unwilling to withdraw the domain, and the court will still be suspicious of your father." ”
"Damn! It's really hard to do! Shang Lao Han gritted his teeth, "Wu Sangui, you old thing is really the opponent of Lao Tzu's life, deliberately cheating Lao Tzu!" ”
"Father, now we have only one way." Shang Zhixin saw that the time had come, and took the opportunity to say: "Pull Wu Sangui to help this old thing get through this difficulty, and then let this old thing continue to be our shield, so that our words can be better." ”
"Pull Wu Sangui's old thing, what difficulties will you help him through?" Shang Lao Han's eyes narrowed, and his stiff beard floated up.
"Okay, my father, you and Wu Sangui's old thing, those things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, can you put it aside for the time being?" Shang Zhixin said impatiently: "Besides, the child wants you to pull him now, also to pull us ourselves, but also to push Wu Sangui's old thing in the future, so that he will fall even worse. Otherwise, even if you don't pull him now, Father, he won't be able to fall there, and not only will we not have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but we may cause even more trouble. ”
Shang Lao Han gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally sat down weakly, and asked viciously: "Say, how should Lao Tzu pull Wu Sangui's old thing now?" How will you push him in the future? Let him die without a place to be buried! Also, if we don't pull Wu Sangui now, why will we cause more trouble? ”
"It's simple." Shang Zhixin said eloquently: "Right now, Wu Sangui has the idea of withdrawing the feudal domain on his own, mainly because the imperial court has forced him too hard, and he has taken power and cut his salary, and he is almost strangled by his neck!" In this case, if we ignore Wu Sangui's situation, then if Wu Sangui's old thing really reaches an agreement with the imperial court to withdraw the feudal domain, then we will be passive. At that time, Wu Sangui's old thing has become a loyal minister of the imperial court, and Geng Jimao has Taiwan's Zheng Jing on the side, and the imperial court may not have a big surname to attack them, won't we become a thorn in the side of the imperial court? ”
Shang Lao Han nodded slowly, feeling that what his son said was very reasonable-if Wu Sangui withdrew the feudal domain and handed over the military power, the imperial court would naturally not be suspicious of him, Geng Jimao's Fujian was relatively important to the imperial court, and his own Guangdong would naturally become a thorn in the side of the imperial court. After thinking about it for a long time, Shang Lao Han finally nodded and said: "Yes, we can't let Wu Sangui fall now, if he falls, our Guangdong people will be sad." You say, what exactly are we going to do? ”
"Father has finally opened his mind, for the sake of our Guangdong, and Wu Sangui's rotten things should be let go." Shang Zhixin mocked his father, and said: "Actually, we don't need to work too hard, as long as my father gives the court a performance, and asks the court to give us a salary for the Guangdong army." As for the reason, Taiwan's Zheng Yi harassed the coastal areas of Guangdong, and in order to protect the territory and the people, he had to ask the imperial court to increase the salary to cast weapons and build warships, so as to clear out Taiwan's Zheng Wei. ”
"Why?" Shang Lao Han Jian asked, "Tell me more details." ”
"Because ......." Shang Zhixin wanted to answer by himself, but suddenly forgot what he had discussed with Lu Daxian in advance.
Fortunately, it just so happened that Lu Daxian Ling, who had a good memory and adaptability, was on the scene, and hurriedly said: "Lord Shizi, you are tired, let the humble post inherit the prince." Lord Wang, in fact, the reason for doing this is also very simple, when Xia Guan was undercover in the Pingxi Palace, he knew that Wu Sangui had a lot of connections and strong strength in the imperial court, and many court officials were actually on Wu Sangui's side. The prince thinks that if you go to this trick and ask the court for a salary increase for the Guangdong army, then no matter whether you can ask for this military salary or not, Wu Sangui will have a statement to deal with the court's request for a salary cut, and also have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the court, plus Wu Sangui's old things themselves have connections and power, it will be easy to get out of the current predicament. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Daxian Ling Jian laughed, "In this way, Wu Sangui's old thing will naturally eliminate the idea of cutting the domain, continue to become a buffer wall between the prince and the court, and continue to let Wu Sangui's old thing stand in front of the prince to resist the open guns and hidden arrows from those annihilating ministers and thieves in the court." ”
"That's a good idea." Shang Lao Han sighed: "But in this way, won't Lao Tzu become a bird?" The court still has to suspect that Lao Tzu is deliberately helping Wu Sangui's old things? ”
"It's easier." Shang Zhixin laughed and said: "Father, you forgot, the withdrawal of the feudal domain is a strategy proposed by Wu Sangui, Kong Sizhen already knows this, and he must have secretly reported it to the emperor and the court, father, you are on this table, the emperor and the court must think that you are already tempted, and it is too late to rejoice, how can you still be suspicious?" And after the fact, when the limelight of this matter has passed, father, you will quietly tell Wu Sangui's old thing a trick, saying that you have fallen for Wu Sangui's old thing's plan, and you are ready to use the method of asking for money to withdraw the domain, but you were sold by Wu Sangui's old thing, and you found that you were fooled and took the initiative to confess to the court - in this way, the emperor and the court must not hate Wu Sangui's old thing to death? If Wu Sangui thinks of this trick to deceive the imperial court, will the imperial court still believe him? ”
"Clever plan, that's it!" Shang Lao Han Jian was finally moved by the joint demagogy of his son and Lu Daxian Ling, and slapped his thigh and said happily: "Pull Wu Sangui's old thing first, and then sell him after this limelight, let him continue to be a shield for Lao Tzu, so that the court will be more suspicious of him, and let him die more miserably in the future!" During the period, you can also take the opportunity to get a handful of benefits, killing three birds with one stone! ”
"Master Jin, what are you still doing? Hurry up and prepare the four treasures of the study for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to go to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to increase the salary of Lao Tzu's Guangdong army! ”
