Section 40: The capital is stormy, and Shi Lang returns to his heart

It has been more than four years since Wu Sangui led the three rebellions against the Qing Dynasty and the chaos in the world, and some time ago, after the Qing court in the vast land of the lake and Wu Sangui's Great Zhou Dynasty separated the victory and defeat, the world fell into a short and strange calm. Whether it was the Qing court, or Wu Sangui's Great Zhou Dynasty, or even Zheng Kezang's Great Zheng Dynasty, they were unwilling to start a war lightly, for fear of being attacked by the other two sides.

Today's Great Zheng Dynasty has entered the formalization, Chen Jinnan and Liu Guoxuan handle important military and political affairs, Dong Yu presides over business and trade matters, and He Tingbin, Wu Liuqi, Gu Ren and Liu Zhibin are in charge of various provinces and localities. Thinking quietly, Zheng Kezang always remembered Shi Lang, the naval battle commander, in his heart to supplement the last piece of his military territory of the Great Zheng Dynasty.

On this day, Fengji, the first master of the Aoki Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society, which was rooted in the capital of the Qing court, suddenly came to Nanjing City, came to the door, and claimed that he had something important to ask to see Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang received the report from the palace guards, and couldn't help but move slightly, and suddenly remembered an interesting story, but he quietly ordered someone to bring Fengji to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, he bowed down in the wind and said respectfully: "My subordinates see the prince in the wind." Zheng Kezang said in a harmonious voice: "Brother Feng, please get up," and after he got up, he asked with a smile: "I don't know if Brother Feng is so anxious to meet this king, is there something important?" Fengji replied: "Lord, I am very happy, Lord Wei Xiang has returned to Beijing safely." The subordinates know that the prince has been concerned about the whereabouts and comfort of Lord Wei Xiang all these years, no, as soon as Lord Wei Xiang returns to Beijing, his subordinates will hurry over and report the good news to you. ”

Speaking of which, due to the emergence of Zheng Kezang and the change of many original historical trajectories, the development of events has changed dramatically, even Zheng Kezang could not predict it. As for Wei Xiaobao's disappearance, it had to start when he killed Wu Yingxiong and Wei Xiaobao returned to Beijing, and then Wei Xiaobao was allowed to go to Yangzhou to return to his hometown, but he was robbed by the Shenlong Sect, and then there was no news. Zheng Kezang also sent people to investigate many times, and even bribed people in the Shenlong Sect, but he still didn't know anything about Wei Xiaobao's whereabouts. This makes it impossible for Zheng Kezang to guess whether Wei Xiaobao fell to the ground alive or dead, or whether he fell to Yaksa City according to the original trajectory, met Princess Sophia by accident, and personally participated in the coup d'état of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"Great!" Zheng Kezang was overjoyed, completely let go of the newcomer, and asked, "Then have you seen Xiaobao?" Did Xiaobao say that what he had done all these years? Fengji hurriedly said: "The subordinates are in a hurry, and I haven't seen Lord Wei Xiang." However, according to the news found by the brothers in the hall, Lord Wei Xiang should have gone to the Rakshasa country, and this time he also brought two foreign devil envoys with him when he returned to Beijing. "I see...... Zheng Kezang suddenly confirmed that Wei Xiaobao did go to the Rakshasa Kingdom to help Sophia coup d'état according to the original trajectory.

"My subordinates still have something to tell the prince...... "I wanted to speak and stopped in the wind, and my face was full of shame. Zheng Kezang said in a harmonious voice: "What's the matter, Brother Feng might as well say it bluntly, this king can trust you." Fengji gritted his teeth and said ashamedly: "My subordinates are ashamed, I accidentally fell into the tricks of the Tartars and were ...... by the Tartars Caught by the Tartars. "Oh?" Zheng Kezang frowned slightly, looked directly into the eyes of the wind, and asked, "Then how did you escape?" It can't be said to be surrendered by the Qing court, right? Although it was a joke, Zheng Kezang's face was expressionless, but there was no joke.

"The prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin......" In the wind, "Puff" fell to his knees and said: "The subordinates are also to retain their useful bodies, so as to continue to serve the prince, so they pretend to surrender, and when they rush to report to the prince." Zheng Kezang's face was expressionless, and he asked in a deep voice: "Come to think of it, the Qing court should not easily believe you, and how did you win the trust of the Qing court?" ”

The wind trembled even more, and said tremblingly: "Subordinate...... The subordinate leaked ...... revealed the true identity of Lord Wei Xiang...... The prince forgives the sin...... Seeing that Zheng Kezang's expression became more and more condensed, the words that followed in the wind became smoother, and he said quickly: "However, the subordinates swear that before the subordinates reveal the identity of Lord Wei Xiang, the Tartar should have known the identity of Lord Wei Xiang......" Immediately, he told the truth of the matter, for fear that any omission would cause Zheng Kezang to have deeper suspicions.

In the imperial study, it fell into an eerie silence, only echoing Zheng Kezang's rhythmic tapping of the bookcase, "Click, click, click......", all of which seemed to be beating on the heart of the wind, and the face in the wind became more and more pale.

After a long time, Zheng Kezang finally spoke: "If it is really as you said, in the Aoki Hall, I am afraid that there are really other traitors in the Qing court who are ......" The wind was busy and said: "The prince is wise, and his subordinates also think so, so they came to report the news to the prince." Zheng Kezang stared at the eyes of the wind and said calmly: "Brother Feng, no matter what, you have betrayed the brothers in the club, betrayed Xiaobao, and put Xiaobao's safety in danger. Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang paused slightly, his heart in the wind was raised, and he changed his words again, and continued: "However, there is a reason for the incident, and Brother Feng, you can rush to confess everything to this king as soon as possible, so that the matter has not reached the worst point, this king will give you another chance to make meritorious contributions......

In the wind, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body was paralyzed, but he still beat his spirit, kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of the prince not to kill, and his subordinates will definitely smear the prince's liver and brain, and he will not regret his death." Zheng Kezang said, "Get up." After getting up in the middle of the wind, Fang asked, "You came to meet this king this time, no one else should know, right?" Fengji shook his head again and again, and promised: "No! Absolutely nothing! Zheng Kezang nodded and said, "Very good!" In this case, you should rush back to BJ as soon as possible, as usual, just as if you had never been to Nanjing, let alone seen the king. Also, this king will go to BJ in the near future and pass the news to Aokido first, and then you will pass this news to the Qing court and see how the Qing court reacts. ”

Fengji was slightly stunned, and quickly came to his senses and said, "What does the prince mean, follow this line and find out that traitor?" Zheng Kezang shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy? As long as it can be confirmed whether this traitor exists, the king's goal has been achieved......" Next, he ordered some details, and Zheng Kezang let go of Fengji, and asked him to rush back to the BJ prince as soon as possible, do you believe his words? Not long after leaving in the middle of the wind, Chen Yan'er walked out from behind the screen, her eyebrows locked. Zheng Kezang grabbed her Qianqianyu hand and said with a smile: "I still know something about this wind, and what I just said should be true." Although this man is a bit more powerful, he knows how to judge the situation, and since he has come to see me at the risk of death, it means that he has made up his mind to be loyal to me. Besides, didn't No. 1 also send back news that there were traitors of the Qing court lurking in Aoki Hall, and their power was not low. ”

Chen Yan'er said worriedly: "In that case, then why do you still risk your life?" You must know that you are now the king of a dynasty, how can you act like this. The so-called 'son of a daughter, can't sit down', don't you understand this truth? Zheng Kezang was dumbfounded and persuaded: "Don't worry, all this is in my plan, and there will be no danger." Besides, you don't know the purpose of my trip. Only when I go there in person can I show the greatest sincerity and have a chance to make Shi Lang return to his heart. Chen Yan said unhappily: "Then Shi Lang is really so important?" For you to take such a big risk, you must also recruit him? "Important, of course important!" Zheng Kezang said categorically without hesitation: "Shi Lang is a rare naval commander for thousands of years, I have long told you that with the continuous advancement of the times, the status of naval warfare will become more and more important in the future, and a naval commander like Shi Lang is an indispensable part of the military territory of our dynasty." ”

Seeing that Chen Yan'er still wanted to persuade again, Zheng Kezang hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "Yan'er, how is the preparation on the No. 1 side?" After many years of husband and wife, Chen Yan'er of course knew that once Zheng Kezang made up his mind, he could not be dissuaded no matter what, so he immediately glanced at him hatefully and said: "According to the plan, as long as you move here, the No. 1 side will secretly send Shi Lang's family out of BJ City and to Nanjing." I believe that by the time you arrive at BJ, Shi Lang should have been put on death row. "Good!" Zheng Kezang nodded his head and comforted him gently: "Yan'er, don't worry, our plan is so thorough, and there is No. 1 and the Blood Eagle Battalion to respond, my trip will definitely be risk-free." The worry on Chen Yan'er's face has not been reduced, as long as Zheng Kezang does not cancel the operation, or returns safely, her worries will not be alleviated in any way, sighing: "It can only be like this, I hope everything goes well, hey......"

Three days later, Zheng Kezang secretly left Nanjing, and rushed to BJ with few knowledge. But under the mole of the Qing court in the deeply hidden Aoki Hall, as well as the ventilation in the wind, Kangxi quickly got the news and laid a net to wait for Zheng Kezang's arrival.

At the same time, after returning to Beijing, Wei Xiaobao made great contributions and successfully facilitated a short-term peace between the Qing court and the Rakshasa Kingdom, so that the Qing court no longer had to worry about the borders of HLJ Province. But his life is not easy, and it can even be said that he is extremely frightened, the reason is very simple, that is, Kangxi picks out the identity of the owner of the Qingmu Hall of the Ming Wei Xiaobao Tiandi Society. Although Kangxi still cared about the old feelings and did not execute Wei Xiaobao immediately, he also forced him to make a choice, either to choose the Qing court, or to choose the Heaven and Earth Society, and to choose Chen Jinnan and Zheng Kezang. And the choice is even simpler, that is, after seven days, personally supervise Shi Lang, the ultimate goal of Zheng Kezang's trip. Two days ago, Shi Lang's family was secretly rescued from under his nose, and he was taken away from the capital, coupled with the traitor and the message in the wind, if Kangxi couldn't guess the purpose of Zheng Kezang's trip, it would really not be a "stupid" word to describe it.

As for Wei Xiaobao, after secretly meeting with the people in Aoki Hall, he also learned about Shi Lang's status in Zheng Kezang's mind, which made Wei Xiaobao even more reluctant to personally supervise Shi Lang, which disappointed Chen Jinnan and Zheng Kezang. Wei Xiaobao was in a dilemma, couldn't sleep at night, and was worried and hurried all day long. Not to mention, Wei Xiaobao is really a bit clever, he actually thought of the drama of the law field changing into a living person, and finally rescued Shi Lang, but due to martial law in the capital, he had to temporarily settle in his lord's mansion.

Wei Xiaobao thought he had a plan, but he didn't expect that all that he did was seen by Kangxi without revealing it. It can even be said that from beginning to end, all of this was arranged by Kangxi, and they were all part of the net prepared by Kangxi for Zheng Kezang.

The night is dark and the wind is high, Wan Lai is silent, the backyard of Lord Wei's mansion is brightly lit, and the core members of Aoki Hall are all here, Fengji, Li Lishi, Guan Anji, Xuan Zhendaoren, Xu Tianchuan, Qian Laoben, Qi Qingbiao, Gao Yanchao, Fan Gang, Jia Laoliu and others are all among them, as if they are waiting for someone's arrival, but the strange thing is that Wei Xiaobao, who is the master, is not there. Suddenly, a black shadow accompanied by dark clouds silently rushed to the backyard of Lord Wei's mansion. "Lord Wang......" Everyone stepped forward one after another and bowed to salute. That's right, it's Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang said with a smile: "Brothers, please hurry up, you brothers have worked hard all these years." After helping everyone up one by one and comforting Wen Yan, he said: "Time is pressing, let me see Shi Lang first." Everyone nodded in agreement.

In the study, Zheng Kezang finally saw Shi Lang himself, and said with a smile: "Is General Shi okay?" Kezang has heard of your name for a long time, and I am really overjoyed to finally meet you today. "You ......" Shi Lang looked at Zheng Kezang who walked in slowly in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You are King Zheng?" Zheng Kezang nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is this king." If it weren't for the king's personal arrival, how could he show his sincerity to General Shi. Shi Lang's expression was complicated, and he sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Shi Lang, a traitor, could still be so favored by King Zheng, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad." ”

Zheng Kezang said bluntly: "General Shi must still be worried about the previous incident, right? Yes, in order to get the help of General Shi, this king did use some dishonorable means, causing General Shi to be imprisoned and almost killed. Here, the king made amends to General Shi. As he spoke, he bowed to the ground. The prince can't be like this......" Shi Lang hurriedly couldn't step forward, helped Zheng Kezang up, and sighed: "How dare you blame the prince in the next, he acted recklessly in the future, but fortunately, the prince was able to save the family." Now, although he has been imprisoned for some time, he is finally in danger, and his family has left the place safely. Although King Zheng and the prince are one word apart, it also shows Shi Lang's intentions.
