"Shibo, please don't worry about the matter of Liangguang. The little nephew is a little relieved that he can't go to Shaanxi, and it is said that the little emperor has made a big bet on Wang Fuchen. Shang Zhixin said with slightly squinted eyes.

Geng Jingzhong also took over the conversation and said: "I also know that Wang Fuchen is a treacherous person who cares about horses and apes and heads rats. Old Shibo has to guard against it, is there any news from Brother Ying Qi? ”

The "Ying Qi brother" Geng Jingzhong said is Wu Sangui's nephew Wu Yingqi. Since Wu Yingxiong was recruited and detained in Beijing, Wu Yingqi has become the most powerful person under Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui sent him to Xi'an, in order to spy on Ma Harrier Wang Fuchen, recently, when he heard the news of the imperial court, he sent Wang Shirong to help, but Wu Sangui refused to say this. At this time, when the two of them talked about Wang Fuchen in unison, they replied with a faint smile:

No matter how cunning Wang Fuchen is, he doesn't dare to offend the old man. He was cultivated by me, and you see, this is a letter from him that he has just sent. Wu Sangui took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong also leaned over and watched it together.

Shang Zhixin took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out that this was a letter written by Wang Fuchen to Wu Sangui, in which he advised Wu Sangui to get up early. "Good! This is simply a deed of sale for the harrier! Well, with this letter, Wang Fuchen has to obediently be a mountain protector for Wuhua Mountain, and it's too late for him to regret it! ”

Shang Zhixin was still in the waves, and he said, Geng Jingzhong pondered for a while on the side, but coldly said: "Not necessarily, Wang Fuchen was born in the army." He couldn't write the letter himself. Suppose he borrows some reason. Kill Xiucai, who wrote the letter on his behalf, and the letter will be worthless. ”

said a word, and refuted Shang Zhixin, who was still on the rise, speechless, and looked depressed. Geng Jingzhong clearly remembered that after the start of the three-way battle, Wang Fuchen wanted to watch the fire from the other side and sell it at a price. But first, he was deterred by the force of the Qing soldiers, coupled with Zhou Peigong's surrender alone, and finally surrendered to the imperial court, giving Wu Sangui an extremely fatal blow.

At this time, Wu Sangui's top strategist Liu Xuanchu opened his mouth and said: "What the prince said is good, but although Wang Fuchen has different ambitions, as long as he gets together well, he will not worry about not being used by us." So I don't think I can take this letter too lightly. We should have good intentions and ambitions. His words were unhurried. Tepid, as if I didn't want to say it. After the final reflection, he gave his opinion.

Speaking of this Liu Xuanchu, it's amazing. Since entering the Wu family shogunate at the age of twenty-six, it has been more than 40 years, Wu Sangui has always respected him, but in major matters, there are many people who do not listen to him, the first thing happened before the Qing soldiers entered the customs, Liu Xuanchu persuaded Wu Sangui to make a plan to retreat south, let Li Zicheng and the Qing soldiers fight first, and skillfully reap the benefits of the fisherman, but Wu Sangui did not listen. In the last years of Shunzhi, the imperial court issued an edict to cut troops in various domains, Wu Sangui listened to Liu Xuanchu's advice, and lied that Ming Yongli was ready to move in Burma, not only did not cut troops, but also made a large amount of military salaries, but unexpectedly Wu Sangui did a fake show, forcing the king of Burma to hand over the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, and personally ordered him to be hanged on the forced death slope, and suddenly made a bad reputation in front of the world, and Liu Xuanchu was so angry that he got hemoptysis.

Three years ago, Liu Xuanchu persuaded Wu Sangui and Ao Bai to join hands to disrupt the political situation, but Wu Sangui ignored it and sat back and watched Kangxi become the climate. These past events made Liu Xuanchu lose confidence in Wu Sangui, and he hated Wu Sangui too much. However, thinking about the future of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, except for Wu Sangui, no one else can. At this moment, seeing that everyone was listening to him, he cheered up again, took a big breath and said: "The three kings are all here now, and the situation in front of them is actually a small Mengjin meeting that has tried all their strength to attack Yidi. However, at present, the three families have only 300,000 troops, although there is a lot of food, but they rely on the supply of the imperial court. ”

Geng Jingzhong has admired Liu Xuanchu's name for a long time, and he is even more happy when he sees it today, thinking in his heart, since Wu Sangui does not use this Mr. Liu very much, will he have a chance to get him to Fujian. Geng Jingzhong bowed slightly to Liu Xuanchu and asked, "According to Mr., what should I do next?" ”

Liu Xuanchu said solemnly: "This is an extraordinary move, if the court does not move, then we will not move." I don't think this situation will last much longer. At that time, no matter which side takes the lead, it will involve the lives of the princes, and it will be a matter of millions of lives! If the move fails, the Qing court will be as solid as a rock! Therefore, no matter how anxious you are, you must be more cautious. We are based in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Fujian, and occupy the benefits of iron, salt, tea and horses, as well as the dangers of mountains, rivers and rivers, so we must first do a good job in the livelihood of the people under our rule, and don't just rely on the few taels of silver from the imperial court to live. Internally repaired government affairs, and externally connected Tibet, raised horses and trained soldiers, and befriended generals. Once the imperial court withdraws the feudal domain, it is equivalent to giving me the truth, and then swearing to go east, I can win a battle, and there is no other good way. ”

Shang Zhixin is known as the demon king in Guangdong, killing people like hemp, although Liu Xuanchu's words are reasonable, but he thinks that it is better to lose too slowly, it is better to fight quickly, so he said with a smile: "Sure enough!" But please note that the court is doing the same, and we can't compare with him! Last year, after the capture of Aobai, he immediately ordered the ban on enclosures to be stopped, and in the autumn it was ripe again, and the seventy northern states were exempted from money and grain; I heard that Yu Cheng Chan was transferred to be the governor of the river, and the governance of Huang Huai is also a matter of immediate importance; In the first year of Kangxi, the scholars were not enough to take the exam, and this year I heard that Kyoto is a bus club-style lifter! He occupies the central shape shì, and time is not waiting for me! ”

Liu Xuanchu leaned on the back of his chair and listened very carefully. After Shang Zhixin finished speaking, he smiled and said: "When I said to be heavy, I am tight inside and loose outside, step up preparations, and I don't say take my time." There were also many difficulties in the imperial court. Half of the annual income was given to us, and we had to buy the hearts of the people without donations, and at the same time we had to govern the Yellow River, so how could we have the money to fight? The people's hearts are also unstable, there are many victims of the Huanghuai Break, and the third prince of Zhu in the north is also fierce! ”

Hearing this, Geng Jingzhong also said: "I have also heard of this third prince Zhu a long time ago, in the northern provinces, his power has developed not small, even if there are two million believers. Although believers cannot all become soldiers. But it's not a problem to get together 350,000. ”

"Is it really that powerful?" Shang Zhixin was a little unconvinced. He has been staying in Guangdong. I really haven't heard of the name of the third prince of Zhu. "This is not right, isn't the bloodline of Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty already dead, where did the third prince of Zhu come from?"

"Whether he is true or not, as long as he helps us, he can be our ally. It's just that an incense hall like him recruits a wide range of believers, and how do you look at it, it is somewhat similar to the previous White Lotus Sect. However, such organizations generally have no combat effectiveness, for us. It's just an object that can be used! Geng Jingzhong smiled and said.

While he was talking, Feng Ning, the general guarding outside, hurriedly came in and handed Wu Sangui a famous thorn with both hands. When Wu Sangui looked at it, it read: "Young family brother Yang Qi worships." I couldn't help but smile and said to Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong: "Yunnan is evil on the ground, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, the third prince of Zhu is here!" ”

Geng Jingzhong was stunned for the first time, this is really a coincidence, is history really so accurate? I wandered around the capital for several places where the third prince of Zhu haunted in my memory, plus Ah Hou's intelligence exploration. I didn't meet Yang Qilong himself, I don't want to. This person has already left the capital and is coming to Yunnan! At this time, Wu Sangui saw Liu Xuanchu bowing slightly, and a word burst out of his mouth: "Please!" ”。 There was something important to discuss here, and the dancing girls and musicians went to the back of the palace one after another and disappeared.

With the sound of pending, a man in his mid-thirties strode into the temple. He held a long folding fan in his hand as an arch of his chest, and said to Wu Sangui, who was sitting in the center: "The old master of Wuhua Mountain has come to visit Ping Xibo!" ”

"Presumptuous, do you know what kind of place this Wuhua Mountain is?" Shang Zhixin was very unaccustomed to seeing the arrogant appearance of the visitor, and asked loudly.

Yang Qilong opened the folding fan with a "bang", closed it with a "snap", and said with a smile: "No, my real name is Zhu Cijiong, my pseudonym is Yang Qilong, the dragon vein of the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the third prince of the Chongjiao Emperor - Wuhua Mountain here, this is my old thing, I said that I am the old owner of Wuhua Mountain, what is wrong?" ”

Shang Zhixin followed and said: "You are indeed not small, but you are clearly a deceptive and stealing a name to sell dog skin plasters." As soon as he spoke, everyone around him immediately burst into laughter, only Geng Jingzhong was expressionless, carefully looking at the fake Third Prince Zhu in front of him.

"You're Shang Zhixin. Your son is still gratifying, he is just a deputy general in Daming, and my third-class slave is also more noble than you! Shang Zhixin was furious and stood up to draw the guard's sword, but was stopped by Geng Jingzhong.

When Wu Sangui heard this, Gege smiled and said, "Since you are the prince of the previous dynasty, do you have a certificate?" ”

Yang Qilong smiled and handed over the folding fan in his hand. Liu Xuanchu took a rough look and handed it to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui received it in his hand and found it very heavy, opened it to take a look, and found that the fan bone was made of stainless steel, and it turned out that this fan was still a weapon. I saw a poem written on the fan, which was indeed the imperial pen of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Sangui has seen a lot of Chongzhen's handwriting, and he also has a lot of these objects in his house, so he knows that they are genuine at a glance. returned the fan to Yang Qilong, blinked slyly and smiled: "Little brother, what about these jade pendants of Emperor Chongzhen, folding fans, I can give you two boxes of things like that." Don't say that the third prince like you, even the eldest prince and the second prince, I can also conjure ten or eight for you! ”

"I forgive you for not believing it." Saying that, Yang Qilong carefully took out a hard gold and bright yellow satin fold from his arms, held it in both hands, put it on the table, and pointed it to Wu Sangui before pushing it to Wu Sangui: "Ping Xibo might as well take a look at this." ”

"Jade!" Wu Sangui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly held his hands and examined them carefully, only to see that it was written: "Zhu Cijiong, biological mother Concubine Qin, when she gave birth to Renzi in March of the fourteenth year of Chongjiao, Liu Wang, the stable wife of Chuxiu Palace, and the deacons and eunuchs Li Zengyun and Guo An were present. Jiaodong Factory, Jinyiwei and Qinfei each keep one copy and file it according to the regulations. ”

The jade seal of Chongzhen was "the same day", although it has gone through 30 years. The cinnabar imprint is still bright red. There is no doubt about it this time, the person who came is indeed the third prince of Zhu. Wu Sangui's hands trembled a little, and his head was a little dizzy. He returned the jade disc to the third prince of Zhu in a daze, and suddenly his face changed, and he said: "This jade butterfly is genuine, but Your Excellency is a fake!" ”

"Yes, the descendants of Emperor Ming were all killed by the Qing soldiers, and the relics of the inner palace were also robbed, how much money did you kid spend to buy this rag!" Shang Zhixin picked up the jade butterfly and looked at it, then said with a cold snort.

Yang Qilong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "I am the Heavenly Authority of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, where will the descendants of my family be slaughtered by the Manchurians." You said that the descendants of the first prince are dead, and Zhu is sitting opposite you! Alas! The deafest people in the world are the ones who pretend to be deaf, the dumbest people who are dumb, and the dumbest people who pretend to be stupid. "If there is no one next to the third prince of Zhu, his mouth is like a hanging river, and he is gushing endlessly. All the people who listened did not change their color. Only Geng Jingzhong and Liu Xuanchu sat steadily, silent.

Wu Sangui calmed himself, Gu Pan smiled left and right: "Oh, since you must say that you are a genuine work, then what is the important matter of Your Excellency's here?" ”

"Why do you want to ask knowingly, are you all gathered here to discuss how to serve the Qing court?"

Wu Sangui was furious, slapped his palm on the case, and the pen and inkstone bowl jumped high: "Presumptuous!" Slow to say that you may not be true, even if you are really the third prince of Zhu, so what! I am now the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, since ancient times, there are no two days, there are no two lords of the people, one country rises, one country dies, and there is a Taoist saint to replace it, which is justified. Today is Emperor Chongzhen's visit, but it is just a small people under my rule, you are guilty of rebellion, slander today, and the crime is unforgivable. Come! ”

"Zha" The guards around the hall responded in unison.

"Take it with me!" Wu Sangui pointed at Yang Qilong and ordered him to be taken down.

"Wait!" Geng Jingzhong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, shouted. Immediately, Geng Jingzhong approached Wu Sangui and whispered: "Shibo, it's easy to take him down, but this person is not easy to deal with, staying, killing, and letting go is not a way!" Unless Shibo wants to play a good show of catching and releasing Cao! ”

Wu Sangui also knew that it was not a matter to take him down, but he could play a good show of catching and releasing Cao, but this idea was seen through by Geng Jingzhong at once, and he was suddenly shocked. The young prince of Jingnan in front of him can't be underestimated! It's right to let Yang Qilong have a way out, let him go to Beijing to make trouble, go to Kangxi's bad luck, and the little emperor won't care about withdrawing the feudal domain!

"Shi Bo is not more troublesome than this, how about handing this person over to me?" Geng Jingzhong was silent for a while, so he asked loudly.

"Good! Then leave it to the virtuous nephew! Wu Sangui nodded in response.

Geng Jingzhong looked back at Yang Qilong, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Young Master Yang is a distinguished guest, please go down and rest!" Good student hospitality! (To be continued......)
