Yunnan, Kunming, Wuhua Mountain.

Wu Sangui, the final minister of the Qing Dynasty who supported the army and refused to enter the court, and had the ability to rob Kang Mazi of the third of the world at any time, was sitting on his Yin'an Hall in a distraught manner when he was approaching the New Year of the ninth year of Kangxi, and met with several "good neighbors" who came secretly.

These "good neighbors" include Li Benshen, the governor of Guizhou, Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan, Wu Zhimao, the chief soldier of Baoning, Sichuan, Tan Hong, the chief soldier of Kuizhou, Sichuan, Guo Yi, the chief soldier of Zuojiang, Guangxi, and Ma Chengyin, the son of Ma Xiong, the governor of Guangxi.

Among them, except for Ma Chengyin, the son of Ma Xiong, the governor of Guangxi, the others are either commanders or commanders, and it stands to reason that they should not leave the flood land without permission. In previous years, during the New Year, they did not travel all the way to Kunming to pay New Year's greetings to Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. But this year is different, this year is the eighth year of Kangxi's "Ao Bai and Escape from Yunnan", and the Ao Taishi has come to Yunnan, can they, the "little brothers" who live next door to Wu Sangui, come?

Even if he can't run away, he has to send his henchmen to ask Wu Sangui if Master Ao is okay? Ask again how prepared for the rebellion of the army was? Isn't it going to be done? The big guy hasn't rebelled for many years, his hands are itchy, and he wants to do a big one again in his lifetime, and earn all the princes of his children and grandchildren.

"Lord Wang, you have always been the only one who looks forward to you! In the past two years, you have been training troops in Yunnan and preparing to do big things, and you all know about it. You don't need your decree, you are all ready! Now the actual number of Guizhou Governors and Pacesetters has reached 5,000, and half of the Guizhou Governor's Governors are also in control! As long as the prince and the Ao Taishi raise the banner, they will be willing to drive the king forward in Guizhou Green Camp! ”

This was said by Li Benshen, the governor of Guizhou, who was the nephew of Gao Jie, one of the four towns in the north of the Nanming River, and was elected by everyone as the chief general of Gao Jie's department after Gao Jie was killed, and later surrendered to Duoduo and fell into the water as a traitor. Later, he led a part of the army handed down by Gao Jie to follow Wu Sangui and mixed until he was the governor of Guizhou. A commander is not small according to reason, but he and his group of soldiers who have been loyal to the king, the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty still feel that they are at a loss, when they followed the Nanming Dynasty, they occupied Xuzhou and Sizhou, which are rich and prosperous, and now they are thrown to suffer in Guizhou, where "no one has three cents of silver, and no land has three feet flat", this traitor should be at a loss, and he must find an opportunity to rebel!

"Lord Wang, our Sichuan Green Battalion is also ready, the supervision standard of the last general, the town standard of General Wu and General Tan, all of them have been overnumbered! In addition, there are many powerful people who dominate one side all over Sichuan, most of them are the relics of the former Ming Dynasty, as long as you give an order, the big guy can take Sichuan Province for you! ”

Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan, then also shouted, he was originally the capital of Songshan, and he descended to the Qing Dynasty with Hong Chengchou during the Songjin War. Although he became a traitor, he always felt that he had no choice but to rebel. He and his brothers held out in Songshan City for half a year, but they did not let the Qing army defeat him, and finally had to surrender when he ran out of food.

I'm not convinced! If there was enough food in Songshan Fort for two years, he would be able to hold out until Huang Taiji died of illness, and he had the opportunity to fight again!

"Lord Wang, Eada has been at Sun Yanling in Guilin these days, lobbying this Guangxi general for you. Although Sun Yanling is a general in Guangxi, the top and bottom of the Dingfan are still dominated by Kong Sizhen, and he doesn't recognize Sun Yanling very much, so he wants to be the king of Dingnan. As long as the prince crowns him as the king of Dingnan, he joins forces with Eada, and Guangxi will definitely be able to take it for you! Eada has sworn to the true god to protect your old man from conquering the world! ”

This time it was Ma Chengyin, the son of Ma Xiong, the governor of Guangxi, who had relatively shallow qualifications for rebellion, he was born in Guyuan, Shaanxi, and was at most a second minister, one loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the other loyal to the Qing Dynasty. However, Ma Xiong still wants to improve and become a third minister!

He not only wants to make progress himself, but also wants to lead Guangxi General Sun Yanling to progress together!

Hearing that the admirals of Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangxi were all preparing to rebel with Wu Sangui, the other generals in the Yin'an Palace all came to their senses.

"Lord Wang, give an order. Listen to you! ”

"Lord Wang, you now have 100,000 elite soldiers, and Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi can be passed on. And there is also the assistance of Ao Taishi. The world is at your fingertips! ”

"Lord Wang, it's the other way around. Let Taishi Ao take us to the Beijing Division and help you take the bird position of the faint king! ”

Well, it's going to be the other way around! And one by one they are still full of confidence, as if they are accompanied by Taishi Ao, they killed Beijing, hacked Kangxi to death, and put Wu Sangui on the throne, it was simply easy.

But Wu Sangui, who was sitting on the throne of Yin'an Palace, was suffering at this time, and he couldn't say that if Ao Bai was really hiding on Wuhua Mountain at this time, Wu Sangui would not be bitter in his heart.

With Ao Bai as an assistant and thousands of well-trained wolf cavalry, Wu Sangui is really not afraid of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.

But the problem is that his family really doesn't worship!

But there is a rumor made by a bastard bastard, not to mention that Ao Bai, who ran out of Beijing City, slipped away to Yunnan to Pingxi Wangfu, and what is even more hateful is that what a ridiculous rumor, everyone actually believes it!

Not only the eagle dogs sent to Yungui by the imperial court believed it, but even the group of "anti-returning ministers" under Wu Sangui also believed it. These people were happy one by one, and they were all gearing up, ready to follow Wu Sangui and Ao Bai against each other. Every once in a while, someone still asks Wu Sangui here: Is Ao Taishi safe?

And when Wu Sangui meets these people, he will issue a solemn statement: There is no worship in his family!

But the problem is, he said no, and his subordinates didn't believe it!

Not only did they not believe it, but the rebel experts also made up a bunch of even more outrageous rumors on their own, saying that they had seen a suspected "white-bearded King Kong man" in Wuhua Mountain or the northern camp of Kunming City.

It seems that Ao Bai is helping King Pingxi train his troops, and when the soldiers are trained, they will rebel!

And Wu Sangui was worried that the imperial court would listen to the rumors and crusade against him, the ultimate minister, so he had to step up the training of the army and reserve grain and grass for military supplies. One by one, they all started the spirit of eighteen points - there is Ao Bai who leads everyone to fight the Eight Banners, can everyone be not motivated? If you do it again, you will win the world in the future, and your children and grandchildren will have a good life!

And the motivation of the soldiers and generals under the command of King Pingxi in turn proves that Ao Bai is in Wu Sangui's house. Look, this soldier is almost catching up with the old Eight Banners of the year, and it is clear that Ao Bai is helping to practice! How can the king of Pingxi have that ability? has the ability to become an emperor early.

So this time, with Aobai's help, King Pingxi's affairs as emperor are stable!

So no matter how Wu Sangui refutes the rumors, people just firmly believe that Ao Bai is in Wu Sangui's house, which really can't be washed by jumping into Dianchi Lake.

What made Wu Sangui's head even bigger was that the military leaders of Guizhou, Guangxi, and Sichuan around Yunnan also believed that Ao Bai had taken refuge in Wu Sangui, so they took the opportunity of the New Year to come to Kunming to inquire about "anti-feelings".

After these guys visited the training situation in the north camp of Kunming City, they all believed that Aobai was in Kunming! When I returned to Wuhua Mountain, I couldn't hold back the "rebellious heart", so I directly tore off the disguise and began to persuade the rebellion!

And the generals and ministers under the Pingxi Wang's domain, who accompanied Wu Sangui to entertain these "anti-thieves", were also excited and echoed loudly. A few of them are already looking around for yellow textiles. Everyone knows the drama of the yellow robe.

Seeing that Wu Sangui was about to be forced to rebel by a group of rebel professionals, his second son Wu Yingqi hurriedly came in from outside the main hall, ignoring the generals who wanted to slap him, and directly leaned into Wu Sangui's ear and muttered. Then he saw Wu Sangui's face change greatly, stood up suddenly, and then hugged his fists at everyone in the hall, saying, "There is something at home, and I will pay less!" Ying Qi, say hello to me. ”

After saying this, Wu Sangui picked up his robe and trotted all the way out of the Yin'an Palace.

And when so many people saw this scene, they all understood - it must be an invitation to worship, probably to discuss the rebellion!

Otherwise, in today's Yunnan, who else can let King Pingxi trot all the way to meet each other? As soon as he thought that Ao Bai was undoubtedly in Wu Sangui's house, the big guys were relieved

After Wu Sangui got out of the Yin'an Palace, he was not in the mood to sit in a sliding bar sedan chair, so he directly asked his subordinates to bring the horse, and then surrounded by a group of palace guards, he trotted down Wuhua Mountain and ran to the Anbu Park of the Wangfu Courtyard on the west side of Wuhua Mountain.

Anbu Garden is said to be a place where Wu Sangui cultivates his self-cultivation, and it is also the place where Chen Yuanyuan lives.

There are lakes, islands, rockeries in the garden, and there is a five-storey library building, called "Ten Thousand Volumes Building", known as the collection of ten thousand volumes. When Wu Sangui was free in the past two years, he liked to read and listen to books in the Wanjuan Building with Chen Yuanyuan - Chen Yuanyuan was responsible for reading, he was responsible for listening, and sometimes he would listen to Chen Yuanyuan's thigh.

However, Wu Sangui did not come to Anbu Park today to listen to Chen Yuanyuan's storytelling, but for a rumor that ruined his daughter's reputation - there was actually a rumor that Wu Sangui married his baby daughter A Ke born to Chen Yuanyuan to the third prince of Zhu!

This rumor is really getting more and more outrageous, and it was said before that Ao Bai came all the way to join him, and Wu Sangui was outrageous enough!

He and Ao Bai don't have a fateful friendship, why did Ao Bai come all the way to vote? Even if Ao Bai comes to vote, he Wu Sangui will not accept it! He Wu Sangui didn't want to rebel, he just wanted to be a loyal minister with a heavy army in his hands, who could rebel at any time and rob half of Kangxi's country!

And now, this rumor of Ao Bai coming to vote has not been cleared up, and there is another rumor that Wu Sangui married his daughter to the third prince of Zhu. Can't his Wu Sangui's daughter get married? Why did you marry the third prince of Zhu? Are there any benefits? Could it be that he, Wu Sangui, still wants to collude with Ao Bai to support the third prince of Zhu to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?

This thing. It seems that the possibility of success is quite high!

But the problem is that Wu Sangui has neither a bow in his hands, nor does he know where the third prince of Zhu is?

The whole thing is a big one who has been framed by rumors!

When people describe being wronged in the future, don't say anything "more wronged than Dou E", how can Dou E have him Wu Sangui wronged? Whoever is wronged again in the future will simply say "more wronged than Wu Sangui"!

What's even worse is that Wu Sangui found that he couldn't get his grievances done. Now the little emperor Kangxi suspects that he took in Aobai, that is, he colluded with the third prince of Zhu, and he wanted to rebel and seize the country of the Qing Dynasty. And this is not only Kangxi, the little faint monarch, and his traitorous ministers think so, even the civil and military officials in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangxi, as well as the strong men under the Pingxi Wang's domain, now think that he Pingxi King Wu Sangui wants to rebel!

How can this grievance be avenged? Where can you go to talk about this?

Could it be that he really raised troops to avenge his grievances? Rush into Beijing City to find Emperor Kangxi to reason in person?

When this idea of raising troops to avenge his grievances appeared in Wu Sangui's mind, he had already arrived outside the courtyard where Wanjuan Building was located, and before he got off the horse, he heard several people arguing there.

"Grandma, Daddy, Brother Shicong, don't lie to me. My surname is Wu! Now everyone in Beijing knows that Ao Bai has come to our house, and I also know that my grandfather married my Aunt Ake to the third prince of Zhu! ”

"Nonsense! Nonsense! ”

"Who married Ah Ke to the third prince of Zhu? Your Aunt Ake is still at home! ”

"That's right, we don't worship at home!"

"What? No worship? Then my Aunt Ake didn't marry the third prince Zhu? ”

"No, no!

"It's all rumors, who said that?"

"Oh, it seems that Wang Jizhen, the son of Wang Fuchen, stabbed us in Yunnan. In addition, Li Tianyu, the governor of Yunnan, also made an excerpt and reported that Ao Bai came to our house and that my aunt married a Wang Yongkang named Huazi. also said that the name Hanako is the third prince of Zhu! Is there such a thing? ”

When Wu Shijue asked about the marriage of Wang Yongkang and Wu Sangui's daughter, several people in the courtyard were dumb.

This is true, and it is a dumb loss for Wu Sangui.

Although the one who married out was not Wu Sangui's daughter Wu Ake, but in the adoption procedures that should be done, Wu Sangui did not leave behind the maid who was urgently adopted by Wu Sangui, and the one registered on the family tree of Pingxi Wangfu was the county lord Gege!

And when Wu Sangui married off this cheap daughter, he also gave enough dowry, and the standard was exactly the same as that of his own daughter.

Wu Sangui also gave the imperial court in Beijing an inscription, and Baoju Wang Yongkang, who was called Huazi as the leader of the Zhengsanpin (Pingxi Wangfu Counselor), although it was empty, but there was no shortage of official positions and Yulu.

In the end, Wu Sangui also wrote a letter to Ma Hu, the governor of Jiangsu, asking him to help find a good house for his daughter and son-in-law in Suzhou, and then buy land for the two couples to collect rent.

Although Wu Sangui's affairs are very beautiful, he is not happy in his heart - his old man clearly made it clear that he was slaughtered, and it is strange that he can be happy.

So Wu Sangui never saw his good son-in-law from beginning to end, and he didn't let him stay in Yunnan, but sent him back to Suzhou from afar.

Of course, finding someone to kill this Wang Yongkang is not Wu Sangui's style of acting. Spreading it also damages his old man's image of "having small sections but no great righteousness" - he has already lost all the righteousness, if he doesn't want any small sections, who will still be mixed with him?

But this loss, which had to be pinched and eaten in order to keep the subsection, actually became evidence that the traitorous villain framed him Wu Sangui!

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui was about to explode, and after turning over and dismounting, he rushed into a moon gate like a charge, and appeared outside an octagonal pavilion next to Wanjuan Building.

And Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue stood next to an elegantly dressed woman in the pavilion. This woman is not confused, are half-old, but the charm is still there. This woman, of course, is the "red face" Chen Yuanyuan who made Wu Sangui angry at the crown!

Seeing Wu Sangui rushing in, Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly stood up, smiled at Wu Sangui, and smiled at Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui seems to be a little crispy even with a handful of old bones, and most of the fire in his stomach has been extinguished.

Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue also walked out of the pavilion and bowed to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui waved his hand, and then walked quickly to the pavilion and sat down beside Chen Yuanyuan. Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue stood respectfully outside the pavilion.

"Shijue, what's going on?" Wu Sangui looked at his dusty adoptive grandson Wu Shijue and asked.

Wu Shijue did not answer Wu Sangui's question, but asked the old traitor two questions: "Grandpa, is Ao Bai really not in our house?" Third Prince Zhu really didn't become your old man's son-in-law? ”

"Where is this?" Wu Sangui was almost speechless, "Where did this rumor come from?" It's complete nonsense! Aobai is not in Yunnan at all! The old man didn't marry his daughter to the third prince of Zhu. ”

Wu Shijue was still a little incredulous, and asked again: "Where is Ao Bai hiding?" Guizhou or Sichuan? Third Prince Zhu really has no contact with his grandfather? The one named Wang Yongkang."

Wu Sangui snorted angrily, interrupted Wu Shijue's question, and then said: "Ao Bai is not here, as for whether he is hiding somewhere in Sichuan or Guizhou, I don't know." And I have no contact with the third prince at all! That Wang Yongkang is the son of a down-and-out old man, when the old man and his father were both generals in the Guanning army, they were quite speculative, and they married their sons and daughters. Who knew that the Wang family would fall into ruin, and the old man would lose contact with them. knew that a few months ago, this Wang Yongkang came to the door with the marriage book that the old man and his father had engaged.

The old man couldn't bear to see him down, so he accepted a maid as his adopted daughter, married him with a dowry, and gave him a counselor and sent him to Suzhou. ”

"It's happening!" Wu Shijue was in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Wu Sangui frowned and asked, "Is it difficult for the old man to marry an adopted daughter and break the rules of heaven?" ”

Wu Shijue nodded: "Grandpa, the emperor has appointed Prince Kang as the minister of the Qincha, and he will take Wang Zhongxiao and others to go down to Jiangnan to arrest your son-in-law Wang Yongkang in the name of escorting Geng Jingzhong back to the domain, and he will also be arrested as the third prince of Zhu!" ”
