Chapter Seventy-Six: But I beg the old man to smile
It didn't take long to solve the matter of Wu Sangui and the others, Wu Sangui only brought more than ten henchmen with him on this trip, and Huaide had more than 200 people in ambush in Yunyang Academy in advance, and they were all masters of thousands of households. Wu Sangui's eyes were always wide open until he took his last breath, and the helplessness, resentment and despair revealed in his eyes were undoubtedly revealed.
Cao Wuxian neatly took off Wu Sangui's head, also put it into a wooden box, and pushed Zhu Yujiao's wooden wheeled cart and walked out of the courtyard.
Huaide took two steps and stopped in front of the car, "Your Highness, Gong Cao, where are you two going?" ”
Cao Wuxian patted the two wooden boxes, "If it weren't for Wu Sangui, the two of us would not have been able to go out of the mountain no matter what, you know this." Now that it's over, we'll go back! ”
Huaide hurriedly said: "The prince and the princess are very concerned about the two of them, since they heard that the two of them have lived in seclusion in this Yunyang Mountain a year ago, they are worried, and they plan to send people to greet them several times, but they are afraid that they will be rejected by the two. If the war is settled today, the prince and the princess also hope that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can let go of the previous things and return to Beijing to recount the family! ”
Zhu Yujiao still looked cold, but her eyes had softened a lot, especially when she turned around to look at Cao Wuxian, there was a rare hint of delicacy in her eyes. However, when he spoke to Huaide, his tone was still very cold.
"Go back and tell Zhu Ping'an, how can you let go of the previous things if you put them down. Although the imperial brother did not die at his hands, didn't he have a trace of selfish distractions behind his back? Sun Chuanting's death, I'm afraid he also concocted it, right? All of this is a little too lightweight, isn't it a bit too light? ”
Huaide smiled faintly, showing that he had been prepared for Zhu Yujiao's resentment. "When they came, the prince and the princess had already instructed that everything should be done according to the wishes of the two. Now that the war is over and the world has returned to the Ming Dynasty, no matter where the two of you live in seclusion, we always have a way to find out. After that, every solar term. The palace always has a heart to deliver, the prince and the princess mean that in the future, they will always let the two of them be happy and happy, even if they go to the ends of the earth, they will be served by our people! ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Wuxian's mouth, and he couldn't help touching his nose, but Zhu Yujiao laughed angrily, "When did Zhu Ping'an learn the kung fu of stalking, Sister Mu is not such a person." Only he can do these things! ”
Huaide just laughed, and with a wave of his hand, the person next to him brought two wooden boxes.
"This is the heart of the prince and the princess this time, and please ask His Royal Highness and Cao Gong to accept it with a smile!"
Zhu Yujiao looked at the two heavy, tightly wrapped wooden boxes, and her fair face showed an inquiring look.
Huaide said with a smile: "Please also ask the eldest princess and Duke Cao to know that this is from the handwriting of the prince and the princess." It is a set of teppanyaki utensils made of fine iron. The ovens and grills inside are all made of fine iron, and they are all completed by the prince and Shen Qianhu by hand for more than a month. It's still all foldable and collectible, and it's covered with the best paint. No matter how long you use it, there will be no rust. On these two days, there will be manpower arranged by the princess herself. Send Denglai's first-class seafood, fresh meat, fruits and vegetables and other ingredients to Yunyang Mountain, all of which are your favorite dishes of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and they are also picked and pickled by the princess herself. Sent with him, there are also the books that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has copied over time, and the princess mentioned that she was in Dengzhou in the past. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess once specially prepared a set of Dong Qichang's calligraphy for the little prince who was not born at that time, hoping that the little prince can use it in the future. No, now the little prince is copying this, and the princess ordered the slaves and maids to arrange for someone to send them together, please comment on one or two ......! ”
Wilder gushed as he spoke. While peeking at Zhu Yujiao's reaction. Seeing that her eyes were slightly red and her cheeks began to be a little rosy, I was relieved.
Cao Wuxian saw Zhu Yujiao's appearance, and he was also relieved, stepped forward to hold her palm, and passed the warmth to the past, feeling each other's care.
After a long time, Zhu Yujiao said quietly: "Tell Sister Mu that we will not go to Jingshi again, so please take good care of the mausoleum of my father and mother." In comparison, I still prefer Penglai, ask her to order someone to clean up the place where I used to live, and in a few days, we will go back to stay. After that, they will travel the world and be a free and easy fairy couple! ”
Huaide was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
……
"News from MIA! It is said that since His Majesty returned to Beijing, Jingshi is a somewhat unusual place! Xiao Yuanteng sorted out all the letters and got up to return to Zhu Ping'an.
With the annihilation of the Eight Banners, the world has gradually returned to calm. Yang Tinglin and other armies reasonably encircled and suppressed Hong Chengchou in Sichuan, which is also nearing the end, or in a few days, Shu will also return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Sangui's confidant has also been quietly resolved. After Zhao Quan returned to Nanjing, he only said that when he passed by Yunyang Mountain, he suddenly encountered a mudslide, and Wu Sangui and his henchmen were all killed. The controversy about him in the court came to an abrupt end. After all, he is a subordinate, and no one will care about his life and death, and now it saves a lot of trouble.
"What's unusual?" These days, Li Dingguo chased the dead and chased the north in the Liaodong area, and was responsible for clearing the remnants of the Eight Banners. Zhu Ping'an was at leisure, and he was discussing the matter of returning to Nanjing in the past few days. Although Beijing is the capital division, the Longwu Imperial Court was established in Nanjing, and now Zhu Yujian and a group of courtiers are also gathered in Nanjing, and they always have to go back to meet them. After that, it can be decided when the holy driver will return to the capital for the trip. But just before returning to Nanjing, he received such news, which couldn't help but make Zhu Ping'an a little surprised.
Zhou Chang was delicate, and selected a few letters from the crowd and handed them to Xiao Yuanteng, Xiao Yuanteng nodded approvingly, got up and walked to Zhu Ping'an. "Since last month, there have been people secretly dealing with Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, these generals, the forces behind these people, and the purpose of their contact with the generals are not clear, Lord Yin is making every effort to send people to investigate. It happened before His Highness returned to Nanjing, and he had to be careful about it. ”
Zhu Ping'an thought for a while, and suddenly laughed, "The fall of the Manchu Dynasty, Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng's award, and Hong Chengchou are also exhausted, and there is always no shortage of these ambitious people in the world!" ”
Xiao Yuanteng also smiled, "Your Highness Mingjian, but at this time, it's better for us to be safe." After the turmoil of the Zheng family, His Majesty seemed a little depressed, but the Empress and the King of Qin ......! ”
Xiao Yuanteng is very clear about the essence of the point, and now things are clear, after several major changes, there is no longer a force in the court that can compete with the Rui Wangfu. These small actions in Nanjing, the people behind them are obviously inseparable from the Empress Zeng and Zheng Sen. Zhu Ping'an's return to Nanjing is imminent, and they also want to take this opportunity to make waves, after all, if they don't do it now, they may not have a chance again in the future.
"That's it!" Zhu Ping'an didn't think too much about it before he made up his mind, "You can leave for Nanjing in advance in a few days." Yin Shigang is now also a dignified provincial political envoy, after His Majesty returns to Beijing, there will be rewards for meritorious officials, and he will go further. What's more, I also know what he thinks in his heart, he has been thinking about the position of the cabinet minister all these years, and it is a little inappropriate to control the military intelligence department again. When you go back this time, take my handwritten letter, and take over all the military intelligence services, and you will have full authority to deal with those affairs in Nanjing! ”
"Your Highness!" Xiao Yuanteng was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The minister is not yet thirty years old, and his sudden rise to a high position will inevitably make others ......." What's more, Lord Yin has been in charge of intelligence since Fengyang, but now the minister has taken over with one hand, he, this ......! For a while, Xiao Yuanteng actually stuttered a little.
"Hahaha!" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help laughing, "Where is the 'Three Treasures' think tank in the martial arts hall before, at that time, you Xiao Yuanteng was the master who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now how can you look forward and look back!" ”
"Ministers, ministers are just ......!" Xiao Yuanteng opened his mouth and stammered, sweating on his head in a hurry.
"Get up!" Zhu Ping'an patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to think much about Yin Shigang. Go and take over, I'm afraid it's too late for him to be happy. has been in the name of a spy leader for so many years, and now someone is finally willing to take over this hot potato, you say, does he still have any thoughts about you? Yin Shigang is a smart person, but he is still a little stubborn, after all, he is still a traditional reader, and some ideas are always deep-rooted, and the position of cabinet minister is too attractive to him! ”
"The Military Intelligence Department is no better than the Yamen in the past, and it will be a sharp weapon of the country in the future. I have already decided that I will dismiss Dongchang in the future, and after Zhou Zhifan returned to Nanjing, he should have been ordered by the queen, and he wanted to take over the Jinyi Guard again, but he had been sent away by Yin Shigang. In the future, Jinyiwei and the Military Intelligence Department will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department, Jinyiwei is in charge of internal affairs exploration, and the Military Intelligence Department is going all out to the outside world, this time, you and Shen Ke will take over the Military Intelligence Department and Jinyiwei respectively. Don't look at the fact that the war has stopped now, but the foreign war is far from stopping. Otherwise, what do you think I used to build a sailor from Shandong? ”
Xiao Yuanteng listened to Zhu Ping'an's tirade, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "The world has just been calmed down, and His Highness is going to use troops abroad?" ”
Zhu Ping'an smiled, "How can it be so easy, I estimate that it will take at least five to eight years for Daming to recuperate, what about you, take care of the errand of the Military Intelligence Department for me." Well done, I'll leave you a place at the Military Aircraft Division! ”
"Your Highness!" After a long pause, Xiao Yuanteng came to his senses and slammed his head on the ground. (To be continued......)
