Wu Sangui's excitement at this time has reached its peak, and a bright avenue of power over the world seems to be in front of him, 'entering the dynasty without trending, the sword is on the temple, the fake Huang Yue, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the construction of the Son of Heaven banner, music and dance eight hundreds, riding the golden root car, six horses, the princess is the queen, the prince is the crown prince, ranking above the princes', and then the ministers and the people support it, and the yellow robe is added, and it is replaced by the pinnacle of life.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui's mouth almost grinned behind his ears, and then looked at Li Zhaoji in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he was simply a noble person given by God.

"Mr. Li, what do you think we should do next?" Wu Sangui said with a smile.

Li Zhaoji said: "Dancing on these three eggs, has Ping Xibo already made a choice, as Li sees, it seems to be in a hurry." Although the husband can't look ahead and backward, he can only achieve great things by thinking long-term and being well prepared.

Therefore, as Li saw, you still have to dance on three eggs, and you can't make up your mind until you hold the handle. In this world, there is no simple matter, in case there is a difference, we have an alternative, what do you say? ”

"That's right, that's good." Wu Sangui suddenly found that he was too excited, and he did have a bright future when he chose the Ming side, but at this time, he was in western Liaoning, and he was in a difficult situation, where was it so easy to dominate the world, once there was any omission or mistake, he couldn't let himself have no way out.

Lee continued: "In the short term, Ping Xibo has to do three things. First, fighting with Li Chuang without breaking, you and I are plotting a great cause, and it takes time to plan and act, if you fight to the death with Li Chuang at this time, wouldn't it be a loss of strength, if the battle array is lost, you can't fight, Guancheng is lost, and Liaozhen is destroyed, then the most important bargaining chip in your hand is gone.

Second, pay attention to the situation on the Manchu side, it is already April 6, and as far as I know, the Manchus will bypass the steppe and enter the customs soon. When to set off, whether to go out of the country, and when to enter the border wall of Jizhen Town, Ping Xibo has to know in his heart.

We are plotting in the south, and it is not appropriate to use troops in the north, and Li Chuangxu and the snake may not last long, then Li Zicheng occupies half of the world, it is not luck, there is no shortage of capable people. Seeing through you and my procrastination, it is only a matter of moments. In order to stabilize the north, there is only one way, let the Manchu Qing and Li Chuang fight to the death, and fight to the death, so that Ping Xibo can devote resources and energy to the south.

Third, the soldiers and horses are in the north, and the great cause is in the south, Ping Xibo is alone and lacks skills, and the eldest son Wu Yingxiong is only chongling and can't afford to be a big deal. Ping Xibo wants to find a reliable and strategic person, who can also entrust the fate of the future and his life to take on the responsibilities of a party. ”

Li Zhaoji said, Wu Sangui nodded, and Xia Guoxiang beside him was extremely excited, his throat kept surging, obviously in his opinion, he was the most trusted and capable general by Wu Sangui's side, followed for many years, and was Wu Sangui's son-in-law.

But Wu Sangui's words disappointed him: "This person either has to be in charge of Liaozhen, or he has to go out of Jiangnan, and he has been thinking about it for a long time, and he can't help it." ”

As he spoke, Wu Sangui's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Zhaoji: "Now I only rely on Mr. for this matter." ”

"Uncle........" Xia Guoxiang hurriedly stopped him, but Li Zhaoji got up, laughed, he relaxed a little, and said, "General Xia, don't worry, your uncle is not going to let me take on the big responsibility, but just to test me." ”

Wu Sangui smiled and said: "What is Mr. saying, Ben Bo is asking Mr. to come up with an idea, and there is no intention of temptation." ”

What Wu Sangui said was that this matter depended on Li Zhaoji, but there are two explanations for this sentence, one is to let Li Zhaoji come up with ideas for this matter, and the other is to test whether Li Zhaoji has the ambition to take charge of the party on behalf of Wu Sangui.

It's just that Li Zhaoji saw through Wu Sangui's conspiracy at a glance, not that he was smart, but from the beginning, Li Zhaoji had no intention of putting Wu Sangui in a big position.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had no intention of merging with Liaozhen and conspiring for a great cause, but paid attention to keeping a distance from him, and it would be easy to cut off with this traitor in the future. Of course, this is his plan and an attitude, Li Zhaoji knows very well that the moment he kidnapped the vassal kings to Liaoxi, he was already the ruling side in this big game of chess at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the ability and courage he showed shocked the world.

In the eyes of anyone who is aspiring to compete for the deer, whether it is Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, Shen Youlong or Qian Qianyi, or those who love Xinjue Luo in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, anyone who knows Li Zhaoji will not think that he is Zhuge Liang alive and Jiang Ziya is reborn, but will regard him as a potential competitor.

Such a person can share in weal and woe, but not in prosperity.

Li Zhaoji smiled: "What does Ping Xibo think, Li can't guess it, but Li is definitely not that candidate." Although Li's current strength is not as good as Ping Xibo, he believes that the future is promising, and the so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, so whether it is now or in the future, Li and Ping Xibo should not be among the forces.

You and I are partners and complement each other, but don't get too entangled. ”

"Haha, Mr. Li thinks too much, thinks too much." Wu Sangui said in his heart that he shouldn't be so naked temptation, if he forced this guy away, who would help him achieve great things.

Li Zhaoji said with a straight face: "What Fang Cai said is my heart, it's good for Ping Xibo to know, the so-called listening to his words is better than watching his deeds, and Ping Xibo will know in the future that what I said is true."

Now that the great cause is ahead, let's not argue about a trivial matter, just think of Ping Xibo asking Li as a candidate.

As the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Can Ping Xibo have heard of Captain Touching? ”

Wu Sangui nodded slightly: "The official position set up by Cao Mengde specializes in digging graves and digging gold. ”

"Yes, this tomb robber is mostly an uncle-animal relationship, does Ping Xibo know?" Li Zhaoji asked again.

Wu Sangui shook his head slightly, obviously he didn't know much about the side door.

Li Zhaoji laughed and said: "Tomb robbery is generally to dig a small hole and go down to the tomb, one person hands the treasure up, and one person receives the treasure on it. The so-called wealth is moving, and the easiest thing to happen is that the one above takes away the treasure and does not pull the one below, because this work must be the most reliable combination to do a good job.

Brothers, fathers and sons, etc., are not as strong as uncles and nephews. ”

"This is strange, father and son, brothers, blood ties, close relatives, how can they not be reliable?" Xia Guoxiang thought about it and shook his head, but he still didn't understand.

Lee explained: "Just imagine, if a woman steals and gives birth to a child, the father and son are called father and son, but there is no blood, and the same is true of brothers, only this uncle, no matter what child this woman has with her, is the nephew of this uncle.

Between fathers and sons, because of the distribution of family property and trivial matters, there are often suspicions and fights, and this uncle is rare to see, and it is too late to make love after seeing him. You are not qualified to fight for your family's property, but if there is a property dispute, your uncle can only stand on your side, and your brothers and uncles are all people who are fighting with you.

Therefore, the relationship between uncle and nephew is the best and the most stable. This is not the case even between father and son, because you have only one father, and your father may not have only one son. ”

Wu Sangui nodded slightly: "Mr. should also know that my mother's uncle has been trapped in Dongyu's side." ”

Li Zhaoji nodded: "This point, Li already knows, the relationship between uncle and nephew that Fang Cai said is just an introduction, explain the stakes, with these stakeholders, there is only one person that Ping Xibo can trust, and that is Ling Zun." ”

Wu Sangui said: "But my father is also on the side of the thief." ”

Li Zhaoji switched his two hands upside down: "Can you change it?" ”

Wu Sangui looked at Xia Guoxiang, Xia Guoxiang said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Li, Li Yousong went to the capital, and brought with him a lot of thieves who had been captured before. ”

Li Zhaoji smiled and looked at Xia Guoxiang: "General Xia, you can't spare yourself if you do big things." ”

Xia Guoxiang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but take a step back and look at Wu Sangui: "Uncle, Mr. Li, you won't let me change my master." ”

He didn't want to go, because Wu Sangui and Li Zhaoji made it clear that they wanted to delay time, and then went to Jiangnan to be Cao Cao, and they went by themselves, but they couldn't come back.

Li Zhaoji couldn't help laughing: "General Xia, Liaozhen and Li Chuang are not familiar with each other, and your son-in-law can't be exchanged for Ping Xibo's father." ”

Xia Guoxiang looked at Wu Sangui and nodded slightly, and his heart was relieved. Wu Sangui said: "Sir, I have always been stupid, and when I encounter such a thing, my heart is in a mess, if you have a plan, it doesn't hurt to speak out, I will not blame you." ”

Li Zhaoji said: "Okay, then I'll say it." No matter the dynasties or the rules of the rivers and lakes, I have only heard of taking my son and brother as hostages, but I have not heard of taking my father as a hostage. ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he sat down on the chair in a daze, he already understood that the candidate Li Zhaoji was talking about was Wu Yingxiong.

Wu Sangui's family of more than 30 people are trapped in the capital, only the eldest son Wu Yingxiong has been taken by him and carefully raised, which shows that Wu Sangui values him, but what Li Zhaoji said is extremely reasonable.

The son is gone, and he can regenerate, but he only has one father.

His father, Wu Xiang, was the first generation of the Wu family, who served as the chief soldier of Liaodong, and was later imprisoned for something, and when he was reinstated, he was already in Beijing. In terms of ability and talent, Wu Xiang has his own set.

Moreover, Wu Sangui has two brothers, Wu Sanfu and Wu Sanfeng, one of whom has surrendered to the Manchus in the Battle of Songjin, and the other has been trapped in the capital.

Therefore, if Wu Xiang is really exchanged back, whether he is a general in Liaodong or goes to the south to strategize, everything he gets belongs only to Wu Sangui, after all, the other sons are not allowed to be free.

But now, all of Wu Sangui's closest relatives are in prison, and with only this one son by his side, how can he give it up.

At this time, Li Zhaoji said softly: "Guo Jusi supplies, bury the child and wish his mother to survive." Given by the golden sky, the brilliance shines on the cold door. Ping Xibo's change of son to father is a matter of filial piety, which is known to the world and should be praised. Heaven knows and will be kind to you.

In the end, it is not impossible to achieve a great cause and enjoy a family carnival. ”

Wu Sangui heard this ballad, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. has said this, if I am still hesitant, how can I be qualified to achieve great things, just do it!" ”

The ballad said by Li Zhaoji is one of the twenty-four filial pieties, an allusion to burying a child and serving his mother.

It is said that there was a man named Guo Ju in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who originally had a solid family, but after his father died, all the family property was given to his brother, and he not only did not ask for the family property, but also took his mother home to raise him, and he was extremely filial to his mother.

Later, his wife gave birth to a son, Guo Ju thought to himself, raising this child is very expensive food, it will inevitably affect the support of the mother, so he discussed with his wife, the son can be reborn if he is gone, but the mother cannot be resurrected when he dies, it is better to bury the son and save food to support the mother.

When the two dug the pit, they dug a jar of gold in the ground, which read: God gave Guo Ju, the official cannot take it, and the people cannot take it.

The husband and wife got this gold, supported their mother and son, and lived a happy life without shame.

Li Zhaoji reminded Wu Sangui with this story that if you exchange your son for your father, you can not only help you achieve great things, but also be regarded by the world as the most filial person. As for what great cause is successful, family carnival, it is just an auspicious word, how can Wu Sangui not know, but he understands better that Li Zhaoji's previous sentence - do great things, you can't spare your life.

I still have to take risks, let alone a son.
