In Haidian, Beijing, in Wang Zhongxiao's manor, a few Pu'er teas are exuding a fresh and indifferent aroma.

There is a stove burning in the hall, and it is as warm as spring. Wang Zhongxiao, who had already returned from Tianjin Station, was wearing civilian clothes and no hat, and was sitting on the upper seat leisurely. His newlywed wife Wu Xiaosu and eldest brother Wu Shijue are also sitting in this hall together, and several people are waiting for dinner at the same time, reading and telling stories!

Yang Xiaohuan stood outside the hall with an eyebrow stick, resisting the cold wind for the people inside.

Wu Shijue was inconvenient to show up these days, so he was arranged by Wang Zhongxiao to live in the Haidian Manor, which originally belonged to Wang Fuchen, but was now transferred to the Haidian Manor under his name.

His mission to go north to marry this time has been completed, and it stands to reason that he can go home. But the situation in Beijing has changed recently, so he stayed with Wang Zhongxiao for the time being to wait and see how the situation changes.

As a result, there was really a great harvest - the revolutionary truth was harvested!

The truth is now in the hands of Wu Shijue and Wu Xiaosu, and it is the book "The World is Public"!

Wu Xiaosu actually doesn't quite understand the value of the contents of "Yuan Jun", "Yuan Chen", "Yuan Fa" and "Juntian", but she is quite interested in the "Datong Song" at the end, and she is looking at it carefully.

Xiao Su understands the rhythm of music, so Wang Zhongxiao told her before that he would personally sing this "Datong Song" to him later, and asked her to help mark the "Datong Song", so she had to memorize the lyrics first.

And Wu Shijue was bent on opposing the Qing Dynasty, of course, he was very sensitive to the truth of rebellion, and after reading it for a while, he was completely attracted by the truth in "The World is Public". After reading it word by word, I still felt that I was still unsatisfied, and after putting down the book, I asked Wang Zhongxiao: "Shikai. Is this book really written by the third prince of Zhu? ”

"Maybe it's true, maybe someone wrote it in the name of the third prince of Zhu!" Wang Zhongxiao put down the tea bowl in his hand and said to Wu Shijue with a solemn face, "Shijue, haven't you seen this book in Yunnan?" ”

"I haven't seen it" Wu Shijue shook his head, "How can the third prince Zhu's anti-book exist in Yunnan?" ”

"Really, isn't it?" Wang Zhongxiao looked at Wu Shijue with a surprised face, "Shijue, we are our own people, how long do you want to hide it from me?" ”

"What do you mean, Shikai?" Wu Shijue looked at Wang Zhongxiao, looked at the face that was a little angry, and he was a little suspicious, "Could it be that there is any news from Yunnan?" ”

"Two messages." Wang Zhongxiao stretched out two fingers, "One bad news, one good news." ”

"Let's have good news!" Wu Shijue frowned and said.

"The good news is that Ao Bai has really arrived in Yunnan," Wang Zhongxiao said, "I am sure that I have taken refuge in my grandfather, King Pingxi!" ”

"Is that good news?" Wu Shijue's brows furrowed even tighter.

Ao Bai took refuge in his grandfather Wu Sangui should have advantages and disadvantages, and the advantage is that there is one more "Baturu" general. The disadvantage is that the room for maneuver between the Pingxi Domain and the imperial court is getting smaller and smaller.

"Of course that's good news!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "The prince has to worship and help, and the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty should be twice the result with half the effort!" If the prince really doesn't want to rebel, he can only tie up Aobai in Beijing, which can also greatly alleviate the emperor's suspicion. ”

"Well, that's good news." Wu Shijue asked again, "What's the bad news?" ”

"The bad news is that your aunt is getting married." Wang Zhongxiao said.

"What? My aunt. Aunt Ake? How can she say bad news that she is married? Wu Shijue looked at Wang Zhongxiao very vigilantly.

Aunt Ake is a beauty, she is the daughter of Chen Yuanyuan for Wu Sangui! Now that she is getting married, Wang Zhongxiao reacted so much, could it be that this disciple who deceived Xiao Su still wants to deceive Ah Ke?

Wang Zhongxiao said lightly: "Your Aunt Ake is likely to marry the third prince Zhu!" ”

"What?"

"Shikai, what did you say?"

Wu Shijue and Wu Xiaosu exclaimed at the same time.

It is bizarre enough to worship and take refuge in Wu Sangui, and now there is another news that the third prince of Zhu married Wu Sangui's daughter, which can no longer be described as bizarre, it is simply a big deviation!

"Shikai, where did you get your news?" Wu Shijue asked.

Wang Zhongxiao replied: "I heard it from the South Study! Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Li Tianyu, the governor of Yunnan, successively sent excerpts to the emperor with an expedited period of 600 li, and they all secretly reported the news that the king of Pingxi had recruited the third prince of Zhu as his son-in-law. ”

"What?" Wu Shijue was taken aback, "There is such a thing?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao nodded and said, "It's true! They said that the third prince of Zhu was named Wang Yongkang, and falsely claimed that his father, Wang and King Pingxi, were old friends, so they had a finger-to-heart marriage. Now Yongkang's family is broken, desperate, begging to enter Yunnan, and imploring the king of Pingxi to marry him!

The king of Pingxi pretended that the third prince of Zhu, who was alias Wang Yongkang, was indeed the son of his worldly friend, and he did not think that he was in difficulty, so he still married his daughter, and accompanied a large dowry, and moved to Jiangsu to ask Ma Futai of Jiangsu to purchase a mansion in Suzhou for him. He also went to the imperial court and invited an alternate official for Wang Yongkang. Two days ago, the excerpt of King Pingxi's request for Wang Yongkang and the secret fold of Ma Futai have already arrived in Beijing! ”

"It can't be a misunderstanding, right?" Wu Shijue still didn't dare to believe it.

"It's really not a misunderstanding, the emperor went up and asked the empress dowager. The Empress Dowager told the emperor that the prince had a history of fornication and letting go of the Ming prince, and the fake prince who was killed in the case of the true and false prince who shocked Jingshi back then was actually real! The prince and the king of the previous dynasty, the third prince was rescued by the king of Pingxi in the battle of Shanhaiguan, and was later quietly released by the king of Pingxi. The king does not know what to do. At least the court doesn't know where he went? Shi Jue, do you think the emperor and the empress dowager misunderstood your grandfather? ”

"This, this, this" Wu Shijue didn't know how to explain for Wu Sangui.

One called Huazi to take a marriage book and run to Yunnan to marry his grandfather's pearl Ake? Even if Wu Sangui can agree to this, Chen Yuanyuan won't do it!

Unless this flower is not an ordinary flower child, but the third prince of Zhu!

Seeing that Wu Shijue's words were not good, Wang Zhongxiao knew that he couldn't deny it, so he said to him with a smile: "Brother Shijue, don't make it happen for your grandfather!" Now that the whole of Beijing knows that your grandfather is going to rebel, what else is there to say? Moreover, your grandfather is holding Ao Bai with one hand and the third prince Zhu with the other, and he also has 100,000 soldiers. In such a situation, if there is no rebellion, when will it be? Is it really necessary to wait for the emperor to train the new army before he fights? ”

"That's right!" Wu Xiaosu has been persuaded by Wang Zhongxiao, "The night is long and there are many dreams. Brother, our grandfather is not young, and Ao Bai is also an old man, in a few years, will their bodies still be as tough as they are now? ”

Wu Shijue frowned and nodded slightly, "That's what I said."

He made up his mind, carefully put away the book of "The World is Public", and then said to Wang Zhongxiao, "Second brother, it seems that I have to leave for Yunnan immediately, and I will leave tomorrow!" ”

Seeing that Wu Shijue had already embarked on his own path, and was about to go to Yunnan to instigate Wu Sangui's rebellion with the revolutionary truth of "the world is for the public and the world is the same", Wang Zhongxiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said to Wu Shijue with a solemn face: "Third brother, there may be some misunderstanding about whether Ao Bai is hidden in Yunnan. But this misunderstanding is now inexplicable.

The emperor, the empress dowager and the Manchu civil and military all believed it, and they were already preparing to attack the king of Pingxi! So. Brother Fool has a message I want you to convey to King Pingxi! ”

Wu Shijue asked, "What words?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao said: "If the emperor thinks that the Aobai must be in Yunnan under the rule of the King of Pingxi, then it is better to have an Aobai in the Pingxi Palace!" ”

"Third brother, this is the way opened for you by the Admiral Yamen of the Nine Gates, take it, no one dares to embarrass you at the checkpoints along the way."

"Brother, take care all the way. When I saw my grandfather and father, kowtow a few more times for me, and then tell them that Xiao Su will ask the Bodhisattva to bless them every day to raise troops to the north as soon as possible and restore the world of our Han people! ”

"Girl. Don't worry, grandpa will call Beijing soon! ”

Early the next morning, in the southwest of Haidian Town, outside a long pavilion located at the crossroads, there was another scene of beloved relatives and friends cherishing goodbye. This time it was Wu Sangui's adopted grandson, Wang Zhongxiao's sworn brother and uncle, Wu Shijue. The one who came to see him off, in addition to Wang Zhongxiao, was Wu Xiaosuo.

And the conversation between the two brothers and sisters made Wang Zhongxiao feel a little weak, and hurriedly looked around. found that the neighborhood was blocked by the personal soldiers brought by Wu Shijue, and the closest to him were three strong men in their thirties. Wang Zhongxiao has known them for a long time, one of them is called Yu Haitao, one is called Wang Leiyong, and the other is He Tianran, all of whom are sent by Wu Guogui to his son Wu Shijue.

When they were playing horseback riding and gun competition in the suburbs of Kunming that day, they followed Wu Shijue. Although their performance in that competition was not very good, Wu Shijue exported all the girls.

But the martial arts and military strategies of these three are actually first-class, and all of them are Miao Zhenggenhong, who were originally subordinates of Li Dingguo, the king of the Southern Ming and Jin Dynasty, and belonged to the three generations of the "sacrifice thief" who was originally from Shaanxi, and followed Li Dingguo's son Li Sixing to surrender to Wu Sangui - when Li Sixing was at the end of his rope, there were still 1,200 remnants of the defeated army who were very unconvinced, and Wu Sangui was afraid that they would offend the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers after they went to Beijing, so they left them in Yunnan.

Among them, the elite was divided into Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, these backbones, and these backbones worked together to refine the rebellion technology and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty together!

I don't know if it's because I saw a large group of "Eight Banners good boys" here in Beijing, these three and their master Wu Shijue are now holding back a "contradiction".

In addition, now that Li Sixing has led more than 1,000 people from the right wing of the Shanpu Battalion to camp at the foot of Wutai Mountain. I don't know if these three old subordinates of King Li Jin will have the opportunity to reunite with the "Little King Jin" in the future and do some big things together?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao arched his hand at Wu Shijue and said: "Third brother, send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell." Let's say goodbye today! I hope that the day of reunion in the future will be the time for China to rebuild! ”

"Hahaha, well said!" Wu Shijue laughed and said, "Rebuilding China is really the work of my generation. Koya! We will definitely leave a name in history in the future, and we will establish a pavilion graphic! ”

Wang Zhongxiao saw that Wu Shijue was full of confidence, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" In the future, you will raise an army in Yunnan with the king of Pingxi, and my father and I will temporarily live in the Qing camp to accumulate strength and find out the news. The two sides should still keep in touch secretly and communicate with each other, so that at the critical moment, my father and son can fight back and respond to the king's internal response. ”

"That's great!" Wu Shijue was overjoyed when he heard this, "Ling Zun is going to be the army of Liangguang in the future, and my family still has a lot of old things in the territory of Liangguang, so let them join forces with you when the time comes, and my family will send troops to Huguang again, then Huguang, Liangguang, and Yungui can be connected!" ”

"Okay," Wang Zhongxiao said yes, while pointing to Yu Haitao, Wang Leiyong, and He Tianran who were guarding the surroundings, "Third brother, these three are your henchmen, right?" It's better to let them follow me for a while. In the future, my father is in Guangdong, I am in Beijing, and you are in Yunnan, so let them do it when you are in contact and exchange news! ”

"Okay!" Wu Shijue smiled at the three of them, "Yu Dahai, Wang Dalei, He Dafu, each of you will bring three personal soldiers, and you will stay with my second brother in the future. See my second brother as if you see me! ”

It turns out that "Haitao", "Lei Yong", and "Natural" are all names that these three people found after becoming officials, and their original names were "Dahai", "Da Lei", and "Da Hair".

Wang Zhongxiao looked at these three "final ministers" who had rebelled since childhood, all of them were burly and hideous-looking heroes, although they had shaved their hair and became military attaches of the Qing Dynasty, they were still unconvinced.

At first glance, it is a good seedling of the Heaven and Earth Society!

"Humble duty, please ask the king to guard Da'an!"

The three "final ministers" walked up to Wang Zhongxiao and saluted him together.

Wang Zhongxiao nodded, then patted his chest, and said with a smile: "The three eldest brothers will temporarily mess with me in the future, and I dare not guarantee anything else, but it is certain to be promoted and make a fortune!" What are you doing now? ”

"Returning to the king's guards," the leader of the three should be a bearded man named He Da Beard, he arched his hand and said, "I and the other three are all generals." ”

"Okay!" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Go back and arrange a Wei Qianzong for one of you, starting next month, every month will be double money!" ”

"Thank you, King Xie's guard!"

Yu Haitao, Wang Leiyong, and He Tianran saluted Wang Zhongxiao together.

Beijing, a slender and long pimping camp alley.

When the New Year is approaching, the area of Pimp Camp Hutong is particularly lively, and the group of children of the Eight Banners who have learned well in the inner city have been idle, but now they are more relaxed, of course, they want to come to the Bada Hutong to "do good and accumulate virtue". And the next year is another year of big competition - the big competition of the imperial examination! Although the quota of Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty was reduced by more than half compared with the previous dynasty (having to make room for the children of the Eight Banners), the enthusiasm for the examination was still very high. They can't enter the inner city, they can only squeeze into the outer city, and they are naturally indispensable around the Bada Hutong, and some of the more generous people will also walk around the pimp camp alley

The pimp camp alley, which was originally a little cold, became lively!

In the narrow alleys, people come and go, many of them dressed as scholars.

Today, when it was close to noon, a group of southern scholars came to the alley, led by a white-faced scholar, who was Chen Yonghua, and Chen Yonghua was a few scholars who looked a little thin, with a little convex cheekbones, and a southerner appearance, looking like Fujianese and Cantonese scholars.

This group of scholars walked very fast, looking left and right as they walked, looking very vigilant. After a while, the group of them arrived outside the dilapidated courtyard that belonged to Yang Qilong.

Outside this dilapidated courtyard, there were a few stout thugs squatting lazily, and when they saw Chen Yonghua and his party coming, one of them pushed the door into the courtyard, and the rest also knew Chen Yonghua, and they all stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Yonghua, and looked around.

After a while, the door of the house was opened with a creak, and then I saw Yang Qilong, dressed in a black leather robe and wearing a warm hat, already appeared in the door surrounded by two subordinates.

Chen Yonghua arched his hand at him: "Third brother, the younger brother is here to greet you today!" ”

Yang Qilong also returned the salute with a smile, and then pointed to the courtyard: "Brother Fufu, please come in!" ”

Chen Yonghua turned around and glanced at the Fujian scholars who were protecting him, and the group of Fujianese immediately dispersed and formed a warning circle. At first glance, it is quite tough, it is estimated that it is not to come to test Wen Jinshi, but to test Wu Jinshi!

Chen Yonghua followed Yang Qilong to the gate, and said as he walked: "Third brother, what's the matter with you calling me over in such a hurry?" ”

Yang Qilong didn't answer Chen Yonghua, but pulled him into the living room, and then said in a solemn tone while closing the door: "Fufu, something is wrong!" The imperial court may be eyeing the third prince! ”

"What?" Chen Yonghua was shocked when he heard this, "How can the imperial court target the third prince?" Third brother, are you mistaken? ”

"Can I be mistaken?" Yang Qilong said, "Fufu, I'm helping King Yu lend money now, and I'm also the worship of the outside of the sticky pole office, do you know what the sticky pole Dongtangzi is for?" Can my message be wrong? ”

"Then, then do you know where the imperial court is eyeing the third prince?"

Yang Qilong said: "Suzhou Mansion! ”

Chen Yonghua's face was also ugly now. Chang Mingyue can tell him that the third prince is in Suzhou Mansion!

Seeing Chen Yonghua's expression, Yang Qilong knew that there was a big trouble, and hurriedly comforted Chen Yonghua and said: "Fufu, don't worry, the emperor is just secretly ordering the governor of Jiangsu, ordering him to send his henchmen to be controlled in civilian clothes, and we need to wait for the minister Yue Le to go south before taking people, so we still have a chance to rescue the third prince." ”

Chen Yonghua frowned, "Rescue? How to rescue? There are not many people in Suzhou Prefecture, so we can't take advantage of it. ”

Yang Qilong thought for a while and said, "Since you can't take advantage of it, you can only use it!" ”

Chen Yonghua hurriedly asked: "Use a plan?" What is it used for? ”

Yang Qilong replied with a smile: "Brother Fufu, I have a plan to go deep into the tiger's den!" ”
