(ps: A monthly pass is nothing to the gods, but for the pure and honest rookie wolf, it can take a step or even a few steps forward on the monthly pass list.) So, friends, don't put the icing on the cake, or send charcoal in the snow. ）

Li led the ancestral dog to jump over the wall and bite Lin Tianqing as well, and directly caused the matter to Bian Sanyuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Lu Fatzi had already been mentally prepared for this, so naturally he was not too nervous - Lu Fatzi is now a big celebrity in Pingxi Palace, and Bian Sanyuan is Wu Sangui's henchman and lackey, can he still make Lu Fatzi suffer? As for making trouble any further, it is equivalent to pulling Bian Sanyuan and Lin Tianqing into the water together, and when the sky falls, they are tall, and Lu Fatzi doesn't have to worry about it.

The big fire is Lin Tianqing, it is not easy to re-emerge from the mountain to serve as the governor of Yunnan again, just arrived in Kunming to receive the seal encountered such a thing, was a subordinate 'slandered' himself corruption and bribery, the taste is a hundred times more disgusting than eating flies, Rao is Lin Tianqing's temper can not hold back the anger, on the spot said that he will use his strength in the court, and Li Shuzu fight to the death. However, Fat Lu didn't have time to accompany Lin Tianqing to scold his mother, so he said hello to Lin Tianqing, and led Shang Wanqian and Xiao Erlang to follow Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi to Wuhua Mountain to ask for peace to the old man Wu Sangui.

This time, Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi led the way, Lu Fatzi not only no longer had to send silver to the guards under Wuhua Mountain, but the guards of Pingxi Palace, who were proud of their martial arts half a year ago, were still in the team under the mountain to greet them, including Kong Fanlin, Luo Kedi and other old acquaintances who escorted Lu Fatzi to Guangzhou.

What flattered Lu Fatzi was still behind, after hearing the guard's flying report, Wu Sangui actually personally led Wu Sanmei, Hu Guozhu, Guo Zhuangtu, Xia Guoxiang, Fang Guangchen, Ma Bao and Gao Dejie and a large group of henchmen and lackeys to the gate of the palace to greet him. Wu Lao Han Jian personally picked up the fat man Lu very affectionately, and asked Shang Wanyan again, and said with a smile: "Niece Xian, please hurry up, the last time the old man saw you, you didn't seem to be five years old, right?" I remember that I was still dragging my green nose at that time, and in a blink of an eye, I became a Peugeot girl. ”

"Let my uncle smile." Shang Wanyan blushed and said: "Wanhuan came presumptuous this time, and dragged down his uncle to be impeached by his father, which really deserves death." ”

"It's a trifle!" Wu Laohan waved his hand proudly, and said with a smile: "You and Yifeng's nephew are in love, and you don't dislike the poor and love the rich, and dislike him for being a lowly official, and voluntarily give up the glory and wealth to follow him to the poor and remote Yunnan to endure hardships and crimes, this kind of style is enough to set an example for women in the world!" As an uncle, then there is no reason to fulfill you? Don't worry, as long as the old man still has a breath, he will never let anyone bully you pair of mandarin ducks in distress! ”

Not to mention, Wu Lao Han Jan really has a few commendable points in the aspect, not to say anything about Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Lao Han Jan had a colleague surnamed Wang when he was young, because of the close relationship, Wu Lao Han Jan promised to marry his colleague's son Wang Yongning who was still in infancy if he had a daughter, and later Wu Sangui gained power, and Wang Yongning's family was in the middle of the road, his father had passed away, and he had not married his wife at the age of thirty, and he inadvertently found the marriage book that Wu Sangui had set up in his father's relics, and he had the courage to come to Yunnan all the way to ask for food, didn't dare to ask Wu Sangui to marry his daughter to him, he only asked Wu Sangui to help him a little. It's just that Wang Yongning never dreamed that after Wu Sangui saw the marriage book, he immediately married his daughter Wu Mei to him, and gave him a large dowry, and bought the famous garden Humble Administrator's Garden in Wang Yongning's hometown of Suzhou and gave it to his daughter and son-in-law to live in. This incident was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while, and it was a lot of face for Wu Laohan, and it also completely compared the two old men of the nouveau riche Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi.

After a few polite words between Wang Fumen Ke and Lu Fatzi and his wife, Wu Laohan asked the maid to send Shang Wanzhen into the back garden to meet his wife Zhang and Chen Yuanyuan, and personally pulled up Lu Fatzi's fat hand into the house, and went to the Yin'an Hall where the banquet was set up, and personally took the wind and washed the dust for Lu Fatzi. During the banquet, Wu Lao Hanjian also officially introduced Lu Fatzi to his henchmen and lackeys, and praised Lu Fatzi for his wisdom, bravery, loyalty and righteousness, and asked many henchmen and lackeys to treat Lu Fatzi like brothers. At the end, Wu Lao Hanjian asked Liu Xuanchu to introduce everyone present to Lu Fatzi one by one, so that Lu Fatzi could familiarize himself with and integrate into Pingxi Wangfu as soon as possible.

When introducing everyone present to Lu Fatzi one by one, Liu Xuanchu focused on introducing two characters to Lu Fatzi - Hu Guozhu and Ma Bao, and found an opportunity to explain: "You must get along with Hu Guozhu and Ma Bao, and others will be fine, these two guys are the ones who resolutely put the Pingxi Wangfu above the Tartar court, and he said that if there is a big event, these two people must be the backbone!" ”

"Thank you for your advice." Lu Fatzi nodded, secretly admiring Liu Xuanchu's insight - in history, Wu Sangui was able to make up his mind to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and it was indeed Hu Guozhu and Ma Bao who played the most critical role, Hu Guozhu contacted and encouraged Wu Sangui's subordinate generals to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and Ma Bao simply directly cut down the old man who was left to heaven by the coated mite to annihilate Zhu Guozhi Zhu Baidi, forcing Wu Sangui to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty. agreed, Lu Fatzi lowered his voice and asked, "Teacher, how should the students get along with them in order to gain their trust?" ”

"These two guys have a common temper - they would rather die than suffer losses, and desperately take advantage." Liu Xuanchu replied with a smile: "As long as you can suffer losses and let them take advantage, they will treat you as a brother." Lu Fatzi understood, looked at Liu Xuanchu and smiled, and understood.

It is obviously impossible to get along with Wu Sangui's accomplices and lackeys at once and form brothers in life and death, what Lu Fatzi can do is to get acquainted with them, first maintain a friendship with them in the future, and then slowly establish friendship with them, and even form an alliance of interests - fortunately, Lu Fatzi, who has the big killer weapon of Eight Banners Fushou Paste in his hand, is extremely confident in this. Therefore, Fat Lu could only follow Liu Xuanchu's ass and keep nodding his head, not daring to level the shelf of the new celebrity in Xiwangfu at all, he was so tired that he was exhausted, and his throat was almost smoking, and he finally sent these crooked melons and cracked dates.

After the banquet, the sky was already dark, Wu Laohan's henchmen and lackeys either gradually dispersed, or they were already drunk and still got together to shout five and six, but Shang Wanyan was still accompanying Zhang and Chen Yuanyuan in the back garden, and it looked like he would not come back to meet Lu Fatzi until late at night. When Fat Lu was bored, Liu Xuanchu suddenly walked in front of Fat Lu and gave Fat Lu a look, Fat Lu got up willingly, followed Liu Xuanchu out of the Yin'an Palace, all the way into the garden on the right side of the Yin'an Palace, and came to Lie Cui Xuan where Fat Lu met with Wu Lao Han for the first time.

There was tea and light in Lie Cuixuan, Liu Xuanchu didn't speak, just gestured for Lu Fatzi to sit down, and he also took a cup of tea and drank it slowly. After a while, Wu Laohan led Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen into Lie Cuixuan, Lu Fatzi and Liu Xuanchu got up and saluted, Wu Sangui sat down on the main seat and waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, sit down, this king's wine is a little high, I want to talk to you about a few gossip." ”

Everyone agreed, and sat down to Wu Sangui's head in a regular manner, Liu Xuanchu, who was the elder, sat down first, Hu Guozhu, who was second in age, and Lu Fatzi honestly sat in the last seat, and Fang Guangchen, who was not much older than Lu Fatman, smiled and sat in third place. Wu Lao Han was not in a hurry to speak, he first took a few sips of tea to drive away the drunkenness, and then asked slowly: "Is the situation in the capital really that bad?" Ao Bai and the emperor, have they really completely turned their faces? ”

Lu Fatzi knew that Wu Sangui was asking himself, so he replied honestly: "Back to the prince, at present, the capital is still very harmonious on the surface, but in the dark, Ao Xiangye and the emperor have accelerated the pace of controlling the defense of Gyeonggi, one of the evidences is that on the same day that he left the capital, Ao Xiangye asked his henchman Ka Chuha, the secretary of the military department, to come forward and recommend Wu Liuyi, the governor of the Nine Gates, to be promoted to the governor of Liangguang, and the post of the commander of the Nine Gates was taken over by Mu Lima, the younger brother of Ao Xiangye, the general of Jingxi - of course, this statement was naturally refuted by the emperor. ”

"I know this, but what if it's just an ordinary job change?" Wu Sangui asked: "What conclusive evidence is there to prove that the emperor and Ao Bai have completely turned their faces and have held back enough strength to bring each other down?" Eliminate each other quickly? ”

"Yifeng, this is no joke." Liu Xuanchu opened his mouth and said: "Aobai's secret envoy has come to Yunnan, what the prince is worried about now is, will this be a trap set by Aobai and the emperor, specially laid for the prince and our Pingxi Palace?" ”

"Conclusive evidence?" Fat Lu scratched his head, and then remembered that he was a traverser, of course he understood that Xiao Mazi and Old Man Ao would have to fight to the death sooner or later, but how could Wu Lao Hanjian and Liu Xuanchu believe their own words and think that Ao Bai and Xiao Mazi must turn their faces? Why do you believe that you have no real evidence, so you take the entire Pingxi Mansion as a bargaining chip and go to the big casino where you compete for Maao?

"Back to the prince, there is no conclusive evidence of humiliation." After thinking about it for a while, Fat Lu replied helplessly, and said: "But the illusory plan fabricated by the humble position, since Xiangye Ao believes it, this is enough to prove that Xiangye Ao is also guarding against the emperor." ”

"Lord Lu, we all understand your loyalty to the prince." Fang Guangchen interjected: "But the stakes are high, what if Brother Ao Bai just pretends to believe your words in order to fish out the prince behind you?" ”

Lu Fatzi almost vomited blood, and only then did he remember that Wu Sangui and his think tank had another Achilles' heel in history - suspicious, indecisive, forward-looking, and seriously lacking the courage to move forward, which finally led to the failure of the anti-Qing plan! Fortunately, this time Lu Fatzi's good teacher Liu Xuanchu was present, and said for Lu Fatzi: "Prince, the student thinks that Yifeng is reasonable, judging from the report of Shizi and Yifeng, combined with various signs in the capital, this time Ao Bai and the emperor teamed up to give the emperor a very small surname, and the prince should not miss this great opportunity to form an alliance with Ao Bai and plan for great things together." ”

"Mr. Maoyao, in this matter, you can't be allowed to think of the friendship between teachers and students." Fang Guangchen retorted unconvinced, and said: "Last year alone, the imperial court has cut power and salary for the prince, and the suspicion and vigilance of the prince have been obvious, in this case, if the prince makes another wrong step, accidentally falls into the trap of the imperial court, and causes a monstrous disaster, who will bear the consequences?" ”

Although Fang Guangchen's proposition was too cautious, Lu Fatzi and Liu Xuanchu couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, considering Wu Sangui's rat-eyed eyes. But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Lie Cuixuan's screen, "I'll take it!" I don't understand, what could be wrong with this? Is it the imperial court that has deployed heavy troops in Guangxi, or has the imperial court arranged heavy troops in Hunan and Sichuan, so that the prince can be eaten in one bite?! ”

"Wang Shirong?!" Fat Lu almost didn't jump up, only to find out that Wang Shirong was also there, but he had been hiding behind the screen. Liu Xuanchu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Liangchen, come out and speak, the old man doesn't understand, Yifeng was just a little joke with you at the beginning, comparing you to an embroidered pillow, why are you so resentful of him, and you don't even want to sit and drink tea with him?" ”

"Who has a grudge against him?" Wang Shirong rushed out, blushing and asking Liu Xuanchu, "Am I such a cautious person?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Fatzi, Wu Laohan, Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen and Hu Guozhu, who were present, answered in unison in their hearts.

Seeing the wry expressions of Wu Sangui and the others, Wang Shirong, who guessed what they were thinking, was a little embarrassed, so he had to change the topic and said: "Lord Wang, although the student and Mr. Mao Yao have always been at odds, but in this matter, the student has to support Mr. Mao Yao's point of view!" The student believes that Fang Tingxian's worries are reasonable, but the current signs are enough to prove that Ao Bai is not joining forces with the emperor to set up the prince this time! ”

"How so?" Wu Sangui sat up straight and asked.

"It's very simple, if Ao Bai joins forces with the emperor to set up a trick, even if you are in the middle of the scheme, what can they do with you, prince?" Wang Shirong said solemnly: "If they really want to trap the prince and plan to attack the prince, then they must at least deploy heavy troops in Guangxi, Hunan, Sichuan and other places, and as soon as the prince is deceived, they will immediately launch a poisonous plan to besiege the prince in the territory of Yunnan and Guizhou, so as not to cause chaos - but they are not doing it now, doesn't this just prove that Ao Bai really wants to ally with the prince this time and fight against the emperor together?" Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you miss it? ”

"Huh? Although Wang Shirong is a little cautious, his mind is very clear, and there is no ambiguity in major matters. Fat Lu suddenly felt a little impressed by Wang Shirong, feeling that this guy was not as disgusting as he imagined.

"Makes sense." Wu Sangui was moved by Wang Shirong's words, and also saw through some of the current puzzles - after all, Wu Sangui is definitely not the kind of person who wants his ministers to die and his ministers have to die, and on the premise of not arranging a perfect plan to prevent accidents, unless he is stupid, he will never force Wu Sangui to rebel.

After thinking for a while, Wu Sangui turned his gaze to his son-in-law Hu Guozhu, who had not spoken, and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, what do you think of this?" Do you think the king should agree to an alliance with Aobai? ”

"Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks that it doesn't matter whether he should form an alliance with Aobai or not." Hu Guozhu replied unhurriedly: "The key is, how much benefit can an alliance with Aobai have for my father-in-law?" Do the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or do the cons outweigh the pros? ”

"Sure enough, he would rather die than suffer a loss, and desperately take advantage of it -- opening his mouth means that the harm outweighs the good, and the benefit outweighs the disadvantage." Lu Fatzi once again secretly admired Liu Xuanchu's means of knowing people, and thought that his evaluation of Hu Guozhu was really to the point. At the same time, Lu Fatzi was secretly worried, "Partnering with these people against the Qing Dynasty will be tired in the future." ”

"So you think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages? Or do more harm than good?! Wu Sangui continued to ask.

"It does more harm than good!" Hu Guozhu replied categorically: "Although Ao Bai holds great power, he is not the emperor after all, he can't be the master of key matters, and the emperor is getting older and older, and he has more and more power to control." It can be seen that although the alliance with Aobai will be able to reap some benefits for a while, in the long run, we will suffer a big loss! Therefore, the son-in-law thinks that it is okay to worship the void and the snake, but it is absolutely impossible to support it! ”

Wu Sangui stopped talking again, but Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong were anxious, and stood up together, Liu Xuanchu said: "Lord Wang, although General Hu's words are also reasonable, but the alliance with Aobai disrupts the government, weakens the emperor's control over the court, and divides the power of the court, so that it is more beneficial to you, Lord Wang." ”

"Lord Wang, this is a mouse's eye!" Wang Shirong was not as polite as Liu Xuanchu, and said directly: "Just like General Hu Guozhu said, the emperor is getting older and older, and the power of control is getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, the students believe that it is more beneficial for the prince to support Aobai to fight against the emperor, and even support Aobai to follow Huo Guangyinyi's example and abolish the establishment and make the court chaotic. ”

"Mr. Maoya, Mr. Liangchen, don't be joking." Hu Guozhu retorted: "Ao Bai is loyal to the imperial court, will he do anything to abolish the establishment?" Don't support Aobai didn't abolish the emperor, but caused a monstrous disaster! ”

"General Hu's words are reasonable, the stakes are high, and the prince should act cautiously." Fang Guangchen, who was refuted before, naturally stood on Hu Guozhu's side and supported him to go toe-to-toe with Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong.

Although Lu Fatzi was present, he spoke and interjected -- it was not that Lu Fatzi felt that he was too light-hearted to speak casually, but the key was that Lu Fatzi wanted to take this opportunity to observe Wu Sangui and see how he reacted when his subordinates' opinions were completely different, and whether he had the courage to make a decision and override public opinion. It's a pity that what disappointed Fat Lu was that Wu Sangui obviously didn't have the courage to make decisions on the spot that Fat Lu expected, but his expression was extremely hesitant, the weather was always uncertain, and his indecisive surname was revealed. In the end, Wu Sangui even pointed at Fat Lu and asked, "Yifeng, what do you think of this?" ”

"Back to the prince, the lowly people are soft-spoken, and they don't dare to participate in the military aircraft casually." Lu Fatzi's disappointed answer -- Lu Fatzi was indeed too disappointed, and when he couldn't make up his mind, Wu Sangui actually took the initiative to ask himself for advice from such a seven-grade sesame official, although it proved from the side that Wu Sangui had attached great importance to himself, but Lu Fatzi could still imagine how difficult it would be to persuade Wu Sangui to take a correct but risky strategic decision at the critical moment of strategic decision-making in the future.

"It's okay, I'd like to hear your opinion." Wu Sangui took out the posture of Corporal Lixian.

"I think that we should be humble and wait for the changes." In desperation, Fat Lu had to learn from Lin Tianqing and Qi Mud, and said with a heartfelt voice: "At present, the situation is unclear, and no one can say who will finally gain the upper hand." Therefore, he thinks that he can't agree to Ao Xiangye's request immediately, let alone refuse it, so he can only be false and wronged, just give Ao Bai a little sweetness, and encourage him to continue to fight with the emperor, and then wait and see what happens, and then make a decision after seeing the situation. ”

Lu Fatzi's words seem reasonable, but in fact they are nonsense - Kunming and Yanjing are separated by tens of thousands of miles, and there are no mobile phones in this era, so they all rely on fast horse carrier pigeons to deliver news, and wait for the situation in the capital to be clear before placing bets, and the daylilies are cold! So as soon as Fat Lu finished speaking, Wang Shirong and Liu Xuanchu both widened their eyes and began to be disappointed in Fat Lu. As soon as Wu Sangui heard that he was facing his spleen and stomach, he immediately patted his thigh and said: "Yifeng's words are facing loneliness!" That's it, first worship the snake with Ao, don't refuse or agree, and wait for them to split the upper hand before making a decision. ”

"Lord Lu is really a young hero, this is a wonderful view, and the son-in-law also approves of it." Hu Guozhu also echoed with great satisfaction -- Lu Fatzi's so-called opinion was actually just a variant of his suggestion, but it was more tactful and more indecisive to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui and Hu Guozhu both agreed with Lu Fatzi's opinion, and Fang Guangchen, who began to stand on Hu Guozhu's side, of course happily agreed, and the basic position of the Pingxi Palace's basic position in the struggle between Xiao Mazi and Aobai was also set - false and wronged, wait and see the changes, and then bet. made this decision, Wu Sangui immediately sent Fang Guangchen to negotiate with the secret envoy of Aobai, and gave some promises symbolizing the surname and Aobai's false and wrongful snakes, and both sides should not be offended for the time being.

In the face of Wu Sangui's decision, Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen, the conservative representatives of the Pingxi Palace, were overjoyed, Liu Xuanchu, the representative of the radical faction, did not say a word, and Wang Shirong, another representative of the radical faction, was furious, and seized the opportunity to lower his voice in front of Lu Fatzi and scolded: "The eyes of the rat are inch! Idiot! ”

"Is it really a rat's eye?" Lu Fatzi ignored Wang Shirong's accusations, and only confided his thoughts to Liu Xuanchu, who was full of displeasure behind his back, "Teacher, the student knows, you must think that the student is a mouse-eyed, but have you thought about it, teacher?" If we succeed in persuading the prince to form an alliance with Ao Zhongtang and help Ao Zhongtang to abolish the establishment, the consequences will be dangerous! ”

"Why is this dangerous?" Liu Xuanchu asked suspiciously.

"With the indecisive surname that the prince has gotten by, if he is not completely forced to be in a hurry, will the prince make a big move?" Lu Fatzi asked solemnly: "The old man who worships with Ao, when the emperor is unstable, will he take drastic measures against the prince?" There is also the Tartar Emperor's side, if Ao Bai fights with him with the support of the prince and loses both, even the Tartar Emperor will be greatly injured, and the old fox of the Empress Dowager will inevitably prevent the Tartar Emperor from forcing the prince to a desperate situation! So when the prince is not forced to the point of no retreat, will he take the risk of causing trouble? Will the wishes of teachers and students be fulfilled? ”

Liu Xuanchu was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, Liu Xuanchu's old face, which was full of displeasure, was already full of relieved smiles, "You can see farther than us, and Wang Shirong and I are the eyes of the mouse." ”
