In the Ming Mansion, in the hall, the two sat opposite each other, looking at each other.

These two people are, of course, Wang Zhongxiao and Nalan Mingzhu, Mingzhu, his wife, and children have all been sent away. Nalan Xingde went to study hard, and Wu Linzhu put a chair outside the back door of the hall - she had to supervise Mingzhu a little bit, but she couldn't let Mingzhu learn badly from Wang Fuchen's father and son!

Wulin Zhugege didn't wait too long, and Wang Zhongxiao began to corrupt Mingzhu, a corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty.

After saying some pleasantries, Wang Zhongxiao took out an envelope containing a full twenty silver tickets issued by the old Fan family in Zhangjiakou, and handed it to Nalan Mingzhu with both hands, "Master Ming, this is the filial piety that my father asked me to bring to Gege...... If nothing else, it is to repay the old prince for his life and promotion. Please take it for you! ”

Nalan Mingzhu was also not polite, took the envelope and weighed it, and asked, "How much?" ”

"Two thousand taels, a little heart." Wang Zhongxiao replied.

Mingzhu nodded with a smile and said, "Shikai, between us, the Ming people don't say dark words. Let me ask you, do you already know who Uncle Fu is? That's why he kicked Guanyin Bao over, so that he could show his ability in front of him? ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Master Ming," Wang Zhongxiao said, "The younger generation did guess that Uncle Fu was King Yu...... Did the juniors guess right? ”

"Yes!" Mingzhu said, "King Yu also recommended you to the emperor!" ”

"That's really great...... Wang Zhongxiao peeked at Mingzhu's face as he spoke, and found that his brows were slightly furrowed, so he hurriedly inquired, "Master Ming, is there anything that the juniors have not done well enough?" Remind me, I'll correct it right away! ”

Mingzhu shook her head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that you haven't done enough, it's your father...... He has come too close to King Pingxi over the years! Shikai, did you go to Beijing with Wu Guogui this time? ”

"Yes," Wang Zhongxiao said, "the younger generation has indeed received a lot of care from the Wu family during the years in Yunnan, and at least half of the younger generation's skills have been learned from the Wu family's martial arts hall." In addition, the relationship between the younger generation and several generations of the Wu family is also excellent. ”

Mingzhu said: "You are honest, but have you thought about it, the king of Pingxi has a self-respecting army in Yunnan, and he already has a big tail!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head: "Master Ming's words are wrong, the king of Pingxi is not only supporting the army and respecting himself, he is simply preparing to rebel!" ”

"What?" Mingzhu almost jumped up, "You, what did you say?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao said: "I said that the king of Pingxi is preparing to rebel!" He gathered troops in Yunnan, trained soldiers, opened a vassal school, educated military attachés, pacified Tusi, and secretly controlled the green camps in Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, and even Guangdong, and also wantonly occupied land in Guizhou and Sichuan, controlled a large number of people, built fortresses, and hoarded military funds and food...... Aren't these all preparations for a rebellion? If he doesn't plan to rebel, why have he spent so much time doing this? ”

"Is he about to turn around?" Mingzhu asked with a frown.

"Not really," said Wang Zhongxiao, "he will not rebel now, firstly, because the preparations have not yet been completed; The second reason is that the generation of Eight Banners of Taishi Ao has not yet withered away! Now it's the opposite, King Pingxi is not very sure. ”

Mingzhu exhaled: "How old is he?" Is the energy consumption better than that of the Ao Taishi? ”

"Fifty-eight!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "King Pingxi is fifty-eight years old this year, which is about the same age as Ao Taishi, and it is indeed uncertain who has survived. However, if the first generation of King Pingxi is gone, the second generation of King Pingxi or the third King of Pingxi can't be reversed? Maybe the second and third generations of Pingxi kings are even more powerful? ”

"Second generation?" Mingzhu snorted, "You said Wu Yingxiong? ”

Wang Zhongxiao asked rhetorically: "Why not Wu Yingqi?" ”

Mingzhu was a little unconvinced: "Wu Yingqi? Isn't he the second son? And he went out after the succession, does King Pingxi want to abolish Chang Liyoung? ”

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "King Pingxi's thoughts, how can the younger generation know?" The younger generation only knows that King Pingxi has always loved Wu Yingqi, and Wu Yingqi is very similar to King Pingxi in both his actions and appearance.

And the younger generation also knows that the sons and nephews of King Pingxi are not only powerful, but also have many powerful characters! For example, Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui are capable, and there are still one or twenty people. As for the grandchildren of King Pingxi, it is even more powerful...... The number of them alone is ten times more than that of King Pingxi's sons and nephews, and there are countless people who are slightly outstanding in martial arts! Among them, Wu Yingqi's eldest son Wu Shicong and Wu Guogui's eldest son Wu Shijue are particularly outstanding...... These two are both dragons and phoenixes among people, both civil and military, not to be underestimated! ”

As if he was afraid that Mingzhu would not believe it, Wang Zhongxiao lowered his head, raised his hand, and pointed to a scar on his head and said: "Master Ming, look at this, this scar was left by the junior when he was riding a horse with Wu Shijue, when the junior was knocked off the horse by him, and it took half a month to lie at home before he recovered!" ”

Mingzhu glanced at Wang Zhongxiao's head, there is indeed a very scary scar! It seems that Wu Shijue's martial arts are higher than this Wang Zhongxiao......

However, Mingzhu was still not convinced, and snorted: "It's just the courage of the horseman!" ”

"What Master Ming said is extremely true, but ...... The horseman who can dance a big gun on horseback is a bit too much under today's Pingxi King Domain! ”

"Many? How many? ”

Wang Zhongxiao stretched out six fingers: "Six thousand!" ”

Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Six thousand is not much!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao spit out another word: "Hu! ”

He strengthened his tone and said, "It's six thousand households!" When the king of Pingxi was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, there were 3,000 families, all of whom were elite iron cavalry, and everyone had a family slave. These family members later followed the king of Pingxi to Yunnan, and the king of Pingxi gave them granges and slaves on the territory of Yunnan, and also opened a martial arts hall to train their sons and nephews...... A family member of the Pingxi Wang's domain married two or three wives and supported four or five sons. Three thousand households by four times five, should there be more than one person? Besides, the older of these family members are all grandfathers and grandfathers, and their grandchildren can go to the battlefield.

In addition, when King Pingxi was in the southwest, he also appeased many elites who were born as thieves and thieves, among which there were many warriors who could ride horses and charge into battle. Therefore, the king of Pingxi got another 3,000 elite iron cavalry! Although they are the status of the green battalion, they are treated the same as the bannermen of the feudal domain, and they are also given to land slaves. Over the past ten years, there have also been a lot of people, and the older ones have already reached adulthood.

Master Ming, you are very knowledgeable, you break your fingers to calculate, so that 6,000 knights, given the farm house slaves, multiplied for decades, children not only at home production, hunting, and martial arts, but also go to the domain to learn martial arts with the masters of the domain...... Will it be possible to get twice the result with half the effort if you rebel in the future? ”

In fact, 6,000 warriors who can ride on horseback and dance big guns are already a force that can cross all directions, if you multiply it by four times five...... That's 30,000 people!

This is only the cavalry and officers, and there are many young and old infantry troops below!

Everyone knows that Wu Sangui has more than 30,000 soldiers on his account, but in fact, there are 80,000 if not 100,000. If these soldiers and horses are discarded, it will be forgotten, but if they are raised...... If 100,000 elites rebel, it is not certain who will rule the world.

Mingzhu frowned and looked at Wang Zhongxiao, "Shikai, what you said was your own words, or did your father ask you to say it?" ”

When Wang Zhongxiao heard this, he touched a small box with a seal in his arms, and handed it to Mingzhu with both hands, "Master Ming, this is my father's secret fold to the emperor!" My father instructed me not to go up the way of the guard's stall, and I must hand it over to you, Master Ming...... Because you are the emperor's real confidant, and you are Gege's father-in-law, you can be regarded as half of his former master! ”

Mingzhu took the small box and looked at it, and asked with a serious face: "Is this an excerpt to expose the rebellion of King Pingxi?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao nodded: "Exactly!" This is an excerpt written by my father, and only my brother and I have seen it. And there is only this one, and there is no gift to Master Ao! ”

Mingzhu has already understood that this Wang Fuchen is using this secret fold to expose Wu Sangui's rebellion, and he shows his position to the emperor - he is not Wu Sangui's person, nor is he a person who worships, but the emperor's person!

In addition, Wang Fuchen wants to send the excerpt to the emperor through his Nalan Mingzhu, which means that Wang Fuchen hopes to form a "loyal party" with his Mingzhu, and everyone will be loyal to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty together, and help the emperor and the Qing Dynasty spend money together!

Thinking of this, Mingzhu put away the box and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Shikai, I will hand over this box for you." However, four days later, you still have to behave well in Haidian, maybe you don't have to wait for the pick, and your guards will be gone. ”

Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly got up and slammed towards Mingzhu: "Junior Xie Ming's support!" Ming bachelor but has a life, and the younger father and son should be the liver and brain!

In addition, the younger generation also has a reluctant invitation, and he forgot to complete the bachelor's degree. ”

"What reluctance?"

"The younger generation admires the great talent of the bachelor, and wants to worship the bachelor as a teacher, ask the teacher to ask questions in the morning and evening, and ask the bachelor not to be vulgar to the younger generation."

As soon as Mingzhu heard this request, she was a little reluctant - the relationship was developing too fast. However, as soon as he wanted to refuse, the voice of Ulinzhu Gege came from outside the back door of the hall: "Aigen, Shikai is originally his own person!" ”

Mingzhu didn't dare not listen to his wife's words, so he had to put on a smiling face and said approvingly: "Shikai, I think you are also a talented person, and we will be masters and apprentices in the future!" ”
