Life is getting harder and harder! It's not just a bad feeling, it's just a disaster of killing!

After receiving the secret letter sent by Wu Yingxiong from Beijing, Wu Sangui's mood suddenly fell into the ice cave, his hands and feet were cold, and his mind was dizzy.

“…… Observe the minister's festival at the end and preserve the throne...... If the opportunity is not secret, how can it be said lightly? Now the court is suspicious, so what can I do? ”

In the letter, Wu Yingxiong persuaded his father not to act recklessly and to observe the courtiers' festivals, and rejected the "suggestion" to escape from Beijing and come to Yunnan, and told Wu Sangui very suspiciously that he contacted the governor and the ministers to have a secret letter with the content of "There are saints in the Han family, unforgettable homeland, hope to contact the voice, and try to do things together to restore the Central Plains" has been known to the Qing court, and the court is very suspicious and does not know how to deal with it?

It's completely false, spreading rumors and slander. Wu Sangui had just risen to this thought, and suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Forged letters? That's right, the pseudo-sect has already used this trick, and it is still being used, and the method is even more shady and vicious. Wu Sangui didn't know who the fake letters were sent to, but he knew that there must be many people in the Dao who had a bad relationship with him, and he must have submitted the letters to the court in order to ask for merit and rewards, or to fall into the ground, and expose his "counterplot".

Frightened, frightened and hateful, Wu Sangui was anxious, but he lost his opinion, and hurriedly invited Fang Guangchen and Liu Xuanchu to discuss the solution.

A thing that could have been completely justified had a very serious impact at a very opportune time, and after Fang Guangchen and Liu Xuanchu heard what had happened, as well as Wu Sangui's speculation, they were also shocked, and their faces were heavy for a while, and they were silent for a long time.

Diffusion, fermentation...... The rumors are terrible! The disparity meter is very common, but it is very effective, especially at a time like this.

"Discord. Can An be separated from the ruler of the gap? How can there be mutual trust between civil and military? Liu Xuanchu shook his head weakly for a long time: "There is a gap first. If the relationship between the prince and the court is Zhou Yu to Sun Ce, or Guan Zhang to Liu Bei, then it is not called using the room but self-inflicted humiliation. But now, it's—"

Wu Sangui naturally knew the meaning of Liu Xuanchu's words, and he was defeated in Yunnan Province. has retreated to a corner. Although it is not that he does not work hard, combined with rumors, it makes him feel that he can't be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

"The Manchu army suffered a defeat in Shuixi, accusing Li Benshen and Wu Zhimao of indiscriminate mobilization and not responding." Fang Guangchen suddenly said thoughtfully: "Li and Wu have not yet sent a letter of defense, and I guess that it is inseparable from the forgery of the prince's letter and the false transmission of the prince's military order. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will make the situation worse, and it will make the court even more suspicious! ”

Wu Sangui sighed dejectedly. I secretly regretted that I had taken things too simply, and only reported the situation in Yunnan Province and added a private seal. If it were discovered that the adversary could forge his own seal and notify the parties, it would probably not have caused the present predicament.

"Bachelor Ma Leji and Shilang Shitu are in Yunnan Province, maybe things are still turning around." Seeing Wu Sangui's depressed expression, Fang Guangchen had no choice but to use his brains to find a way for his benefactor, "The prince can be wooed by a lot of money." and show the enemy's previously forged military order letters, and then lead them to review the army. Chen said that money and food were difficult, and as long as the food was abundant, the prince would lead the army to fight to the death against the puppet Ming. In addition, it can be said that an army was sent to attack Shuixi to appease the anger of the Manchurian generals. If you can win in Shuixi, you can also relieve the suspicion of the imperial court a little. ”

The Qing court sent the scholar Ma Leji and the squire Shitu to Yunnan. With Sangui "face business opportunities". The biggest difficulty of the Qing court now is that the soldiers, horses, money and food cannot meet the amount listed by Wu Sangui. Ma Leji and Shi Tu had already discussed with Wu Sangui a solution, first instructing Wu Sangui to "try to take measures", and then trying to allocate this year's salary from the household department as a benefit.

But now the charges of forging letters, contacting the governors of the world, and plotting rebellion were suddenly detained on Wu Sangui's head. The previous deliberations must have been overdue. didn't have enough money and food, and didn't want to fight to the death with the Ming army in Yunnan Province, Fang Guangchen meant to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them first, to somewhat dispel some of the court's suspicions.

"Wu Zhimao and Li Benshen transferred without authorization, and the response was ineffective, so they should be punished for commutation." Liu Xuanchu suddenly said in a deep voice: "The prince should send a capable general to replace the two of them, so as to successfully destroy Shuixi." ”

Wu Sangui's eyes flashed, and he nodded as if he had realized. The situation in Yunnan Province is not favorable to itself, and there has been a plan to abandon Yunnan and enter Guizhou, and now it is even more important to grasp the military power of Guizhou Province. First, it can have a place to live, and second, it can also make the court have scruples.

The idea of giving up military power in order to convince the court of his loyalty flashed through Wu Sangui's mind, and he immediately vetoed it. If that is the case, one day, the court will cut him down under any pretext, but he has no power to resist, and can only be killed. When he thought of this consequence, he couldn't help but shudder!

Moreover, even if he wanted to do so, a group of core people around him could not willingly bow down and be slaughtered no matter what. The Qing Dynasty army was like a rainbow, and when it swept through the southwest, no one had any strange thoughts. However, the situation changed and the troops were constantly lost, and some subordinates who were "nostalgic for their homeland" appeared. Among them was his son-in-law Hu Guozhu, which made Wu Sangui feel helpless and sad.

"This king wants to play a fold, explain clearly, and clear the suspicion." Wu Sangui's heart was in turmoil, stroking Guangguang's forehead, and muttered.

"The prince can't." Fang Guangchen and Liu Xuanchu spoke almost at the same time to stop it, the two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Fang Guangchen stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Xuanchu to explain to the stunned Wu Sangui.

"The prince can play a fold, but he can't explain the matter." Liu Xuanchu said slowly: "The imperial court has not yet investigated, how did the prince know the Tao when he is in Yunnan?" The prince listens to the movements of the court, and the prince can know everything, and he can't be known, this is one of them. The court did not issue an edict to order the prince to defend himself, and the explanation at this time made people suspect that the prince was a thief with a weak heart, and there was no suspicion of three hundred taels of silver here. ”

Wu Sangui came to his senses, nodded again and again, and said: "Xuan Chu and Xianting said very much, this king was confused and dizzy, and he almost missed a big event. ”

"The prince can relocate his family and relatives of the soldiers." Fang Guangchen pondered for a moment and continued to suggest: "You can let Ma Leji and Shi Tu know." If the prince deliberately plots, how can he reason to move his family back? Although there is a suspicion of fear of the enemy, it is obviously not worth mentioning compared to the attempt to rebel, and it can reassure the court more. ”

"The prince can be relieved." Liu Xuanchu comforted: "Where does the imperial court dare to touch the prince at this time? It must be gentle words to soothe. As time goes by, the prince will be able to prove himself slowly. ”

"I hope so!" Wu Sangui smiled bitterly and kept shaking his head, where is it so easy to endure the situation of the two ends.
