Chapter 149: What a Ruthless Old Lady! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
"Becoming a regular household? How is this going to change? ”
Yang Qilong seems to be a little interested in things, and there are many people under him who can get along with the group of Eight Banners!
"How else can it change? Isn't it the one in which the father dies and the son succeeds, and the master dies and the slave succeeds? If the descendants are gone, let the other household and account openers with unclear origins be promoted to be the main households, and some sturdy slaves may be promoted to be new other households and account holders, and then select people from the lowest tenants to serve as house slaves. ”
Wang Zhongxiao still understands the personal dependence system of the master and servant layer by layer in the feudal society. That's the case with his family himself! He and Wang Jizhen's brothers are considered to be Zhengding, and there are a bunch of younger brothers below who have not been registered as flag registrations, which are equivalent to another household and opening an account (another household and opening an account are under its banner), and Wang Fuchen's adopted sons and family members are equivalent to domestic slaves.
On the books of Zhengbai Banner, the Zhengding of the old Wang family is Wang Fuchen, Wang Jizhen, and Wang Zhongxiao, and they will be out of business after they die. But if you count those who are not naturalized and those adopted sons and family members, you will not be finished after a hundred deaths!
"This is Mi's chance!" Yang Qilong said thoughtfully, "If she can take advantage of this wave to become a regular family, with the favor of King Yu, how can she get a side fortune and have another son in the future, then she will be even more favored." ”
Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "With her to help you speak, it shouldn't be too difficult for the third brother to start a city company in Tianjin, right?" With the third brother's power on the ground in Zhili, as long as you get out of Beijing City, no one will be able to hold you.
In addition, in the past, the imperial court was not short of money, so it was possible to retreat and engage in a sea ban, and now it is necessary to fight to the death with Wu Sangui. Third brother, you just take this opportunity to make more efforts in maritime trade, if you can grasp the trade with North Korea, you can run the fleet. The fleet and sailors of this maritime merchant are actually similar! If the third brother has a fleet that can cross the Beiyang, you will be the minister of trade in the Beiyang, what else is there to be afraid of? ”
"Minister of Beiyang Trade?" Yang Qilong tasted it, "It sounds quite big. But how can trade with North Korea be monopolized? North Korea also has a maritime ban, and its trade with us is mainly tributary. ”
"The way of tribute is that the Qing Dynasty suffers losses, and North Korea takes advantage," Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "In the past, the Qing Dynasty had silver, so when he was a big wrongdoer, the court had to spend a lot of money, where can he still have a lot of dealings with North Korea?" As long as the emperor has the intention of scraping North Korea, you and King Yu can find an excuse to take advantage of the monopoly of North Korea's foreign trade. ”
"Excuses? What excuses can be made? ”
"Hehe, that's too much!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "The Japanese are one, the sea is one, and the heaven and earth will be one. It's really not good, Ao Bai can also enter North Korea! ”
"Aobai? Is that okay? ”
"Of course!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "Go back and let Fufu arrange it. Now that the imperial court is in Sichuan in defeat, it is in need of a big victory to boost people's hearts! It's also time to run away and reclaim Ryan. Ao Bai can't stay in Wenzhou, either go south to Guangdong, or go east to North Korea and Japan! At that time, the third brother just happened to make a market company, and he was caught while making money. ”
Yang Qilongxin said: This Ao Bai is really easy to use, you can go where you need it!
"There is another matter" Wang Zhongxiao suddenly lowered his voice at this time, and beckoned to Yang Qilong and Wang Jizhen, signaling them to step forward, "It's about the first emperor!" ”
Yang Qilong asked, "Which emperor?" Yongli or Chongzhen? ”
"Neither," Wang Zhongxiao said, "it's Shunzhi!" ”
"Shunzhi?"
"What happened to Shunji?"
Wang Zhongxiao pretended to smile mysteriously, and then said in a low voice: "Shunzhi is actually not dead yet, after the death of Concubine Dong E, he saw through the red dust, went to Wutai Mountain Qingliang Temple to settle down and became a monk!" ”
"What? Shouldn't he be a monk as an emperor? ”
"Is this true?"
"You can't be wrong!" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Then Kangxi is still smart and let the son of King Li Jin guard Wutai Mountain!" ”
Yang Qilong muttered, "This is an opportunity."
"Sun Er really didn't expect that none of those Han officials could be relied on! What a provincial officer! The governor, the admiral, and the general soldiers all voted for Wu Sangui! Even Ma Siwen, who has been awarded the emperor's grace, is Wu Sangui's person."
In the main hall of Cining Palace, I heard a little pockmarked emperor crying and sobbing. The old queen mother sat on the kang, leaning over, and didn't know what she was thinking? It's just that the little eyes are squinting, and the face is full of helplessness.
There was also a big man lying beside Xiao Mazi, who was that Feiyangu. Just now, he had told the old lady the whole process of the collapse of the situation in Sichuan. As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi, who had been tense before, couldn't hold back anymore and cried in front of the old lady.
It was easy to wait for the little emperor's crying to come to an end, and Bu Mu Butai said slowly: "None of the Han officials are reliable, so can the imperial court rely on the Manchus and the Mongols to defeat Wu Sangui?" Now there are Han soldiers who oversee the army everywhere, and although some of them have raised the flag, they may still think that they are Han in their hearts. If they all voted for Wu Sangui, would we still have it in the Qing Dynasty? ”
"But my grandson really doesn't know which Han member and the Eight Banners Han Army are reliable now, and which Han member and Eight Banners Han Army are unreliable." Kangxi said with tears in his eyes, "Huang Mama, you have seen a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and you also ask your grandson how to recognize people." ”
Bumu Butai sighed and said, "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know their hearts when they know their faces!" Xuan Ye, if you want to know people, you can't just listen to what they say, but also look at what they do. And think about whether what they did really made them have to follow the Qing Dynasty and follow you, the emperor! ”
"Have to follow?" Kangxi looked at the old lady.
Bumu Butai nodded and said, "The person who has to follow is the most reliable, why is the Manchurian the most reliable?" It's because they have to follow you, the emperor! There are many henchmen in Aobai, but this time it was the Han people who betrayed the imperial court in Sichuan!
Why is that? This is because the Manchurian people can only keep this hereditary glory and wealth if they follow you. Wu Sangui's side does not have a good life for them. ”
Kangxi frowned: "But Sun Er can't just rely on the Manchurians to fight with Wu Sangui, although the Manchus are reliable, but the force is not as good as before after all, and the number is too small, and he can't afford to die!" ”
"Of course the Han people want to use it." Bumu Butai said, "But if you want to reuse, you must keep in mind two points, one is to use what you have to use. For example, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin and others, they have people, soldiers and territory in their hands, and their power has been cultivated. If you don't use it, they will be used by Wu Sangui! For these people, they can only be used, coaxed while using them.
The second is to use people who have a grudge against Wu Sangui or have offended the Ming Dynasty, Haikou or Han doctors to the root, and can't and dare not be used by Wu Sangui! ”
Kangxi frowned and thought about it: "Then Wu Sangui killed Yongli, and it stands to reason that he has already offended the Ming Dynasty and the Han people."
Bu Mu Butai snorted: "But there is a third prince Zhu who has solved the trap for him. Now Wu Wei is responding to the third prince of Zhu, and he is a little lacking in righteousness, but he can make do with it. ”
"What Huang Ma said is," Kangxi thought for a while, and then asked, "Then there is still that Han member or member of the Han Army of the Eight Banners in the court who meets the conditions for reuse?" ”
Bumu Butai thought for a while and said: "All I can think of now is a Zhu Guozhi, who made the 'Selling Case' and the 'Crying Temple Case' during his tenure as governor of Jiangnan, not only killed dozens of scholars, but also won the fame of more than 10,000 people in one go. Wu Sangui is now in the limelight, and it is the moment to win the hearts of scholars all over the world, and he will not want people like Zhu Guozhi! . ”
Kangxi asked again: "What about Wang Fuchen's father and son?" ”
"Them." Bu Mu Butai glanced at Kangxi, "They are Aobai's rivals, but they are not necessarily Wu Sangui's rivals!" If you want to use them, you have to turn them into Wu Sangui's nemesis! ”
"How?" Kangxi asked.
Bumu Butai said coldly: "Let Wang Jizhen and Wang Zhongxiao go to raid Wu Yingxiong's house, kill Wu Yingxiong's son, and then take Wu Yingxiong's daughter. In this way, you can use the two brothers with confidence.
By the way, Wang Jizhen's father-in-law Jia Hanfu, as well as Ama Cai Shiying, the governor of Huguang, Cai Yurong, and Shi Lang, whose whole family was killed by Zheng Chenggong, can go to Wu Yingxiong's house together, kill Wu Yingxiong's son, and spoil Wu Yingxiong's daughter! ”
Kangxi exhaled heavily: "Grandson understands, grandson will give them an order!" ”
Bu Mu Butai shook his head and said, "It's not that you give them an order, but that they take the initiative to ask Wu Yingxiong to punish the sons of Wu Yingxiong and confiscate all their daughters into the official!" ”
"My grandson understands, and my grandson will arrange it."
On the afternoon of the second day after returning to Beijing, Wang Zhongxiao was called to Mingzhu's Mansion by his brother Wang Jizhen, who is now the chief of the military department and a subordinate of Mingzhu. Mingzhu instructed Wang Jizhen to take Wang Zhongxiao to his house after the shift that morning, and said that there was something important to discuss.
Wang Zhongxiao was already going to visit his backstage in Beijing - Yuwang Fuquan, the former minister Guanyin Bao, the scholar Mingzhu, and the mansion of Duolong, the governor of Liangjiang, which were all must-go.
However, according to the original order, the first person he wanted to visit was Yuwang Fuquan. But since Mingzhu has spoken, of course Wang Zhongxiao has to visit.
So he immediately asked the housekeeper Li Fuhan to go to Dashilar and spend 2,000 taels of silver to buy a Nalan character imitation of Mi Fu's words, and then took this word and went to Nalan Mansion with his brother.
When he arrived at Nalan Mansion, Wang Zhongxiao found that this mansion was more than twice as large as when he first came back, and it was richly decorated.
"Mi Fu's words ......" Nalan Mingzhu took the word that his son imitated and looked at it, and then said to Wang Zhongxiao with a smile, "Two thousand taels, right?" ”
"No," Wang Zhongxiao smiled, "it's not genuine, it's not worth that much...... When the students visited Dashilar yesterday, they saw that this word was very good, so they bought it for 20 taels, and gave it to the teacher today to express their feelings. ”
Mingzhu smiled and put away the lettering, "Then I'll take it...... But I won't take your things for nothing, and now I have a good errand to make a fortune, do you want to go? ”
"A good errand to get rich?" Wang Zhongxiao asked, "What is a good errand?" ”
Mingzhu looked at Wang Zhongxiao and said word by word: "Raid the family...... Copy Shihu Hutong Wu Yingxiong's home! ”
"What?" Wang Jizhen had already exclaimed, "That's Princess Heshuo's Mansion!" Can this also be copied? ”
"Why not?" Mingzhu sneered and said, "Wu Sangui has already rebelled, and Wu Yingxiong has also rebelled...... Maybe in the near future, one of them will be the emperor and the other will be the prince! Do you think this home should be copied? ”
"Yes!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded heavily, "It's too deserved!" Teacher, this is what the emperor meant, right? ”
"Of course!" Mingzhu smiled, "But it's inconvenient for the emperor to take the initiative...... Both of you are loyal ministers, and you don't share the sky with Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong, so it's better to raid Wu Yingxiong's mansion and arrest his children and punish him severely! ”
This is to ......
Wang Zhongxiao immediately understood!
Xiao Mazi is going to hand in another name by himself! Probably only after handing in this petition can I go to Guangdong to do the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, right?
"The teacher is right!" Wang Zhongxiao immediately made a decision, nodded and said, "The student and the student's eldest brother will prepare an excerpt teacher as soon as they go back, do you want to let my Ama also take an excerpt?" ”
That's a good attitude!
Mingzhu looked at Wang Jizhen again, and Wang Jizhen hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, you have to let my Ama also have a fold!" ”
can't let Wang Fuchen go, otherwise he might "kill his relatives in righteousness"!
Mingzhu said with a smile: "The governors of the world are all going to be folded, but the first batch of excerpts should be led by your two brothers, so there is no need to pull the royal platform." ”
The fold on the follow the trend is completely different from the fold on the collar!
Wang Zhongxiao knew that Kangxi was digging a pit for himself, but he still smiled and nodded: "The teacher is right. My brother and I can do this good thing! ”
"Don't let you do it for nothing!" Mingzhu smiled, "Wu Yingxiong has three daughters, all of whom are rare beauties, you two brothers each choose one as a concubine, and the rest will be given to Huguang Cai Zhijun." ”
Wu Yingxiong himself is not very good-looking, but his sons and daughters are outstanding. I don't know how it was born?
Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "Teachers and students have also heard that Wu Yingxiong's daughter is beautiful, but Wu Yingxiong is a traitor after all, and it is not appropriate for students to take his daughter as a concubine, right?" ”
"What's wrong?" Mingzhu smiled, "Are you still afraid that a little lady will kill you for revenge for her brother?" ”
"That's not just the emperor."
Mingzhu waved his hand: "No. It's not a secret, that's what the emperor meant! You two brothers broke Wu Yingxiong's house, and even got his daughter back to be a concubine, hehe, what else is the emperor worried about? ”
Wang Zhongxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine. It is impossible for my family to take refuge in Wu Sangui, even if Wu Yingxiong is called the emperor in the future, he is also the sworn enemy of my family! ”
Wang Jizhen also nodded: "Yes, yes, it's a mortal enemy!" ”
Mingzhu smiled: "That's right. If Wu Yingxiong really claims to be the emperor, then Wu Shilin will have to be posthumously crowned the prince, and his two daughters will be princesses! Kill the prince, sleep the princess hahaha! ”
Looking at the pearl who laughed wildly, Wang Zhong said in filial piety: What is the sleeping princess? The sons all fell asleep. What's the point of sleeping one more? But killing the prince is a bit troublesome.
When the two brothers of the Wang family left the Ming Mansion and returned to the house in Big Tofu Lane, they found a somewhat dilapidated carriage parked at the door.
"Whose car is this?" Wang Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, "Why are you so shabby?" ”
"That's my father-in-law's car!" Wang Jizhen sighed, "His old man's sage book was broken, and he spent a lot of money to run a academy in Shaanxi, but he was reluctant to eat or wear. You're probably here to talk to me about marriage etiquette, right? ”
Wang Jizhen and Jia Hanfu's daughter have already been married, and during the time when Wang Zhongxiao went on the expedition, all kinds of processes have been completed, and now they are waiting for the good day to do the good things.
It's just that now Wang Jizhen has to be forced to take a concubine again, and I don't know if this old man Jia agrees or not?
However, contrary to Wang Jizhen's expectations, Old Man Jia did not come to discuss the wedding etiquette today, but to discuss with Wang Jizhen the impeachment of Wu Yingxiong for rebellion.
"What? Old Taishan, do you also want to participate in Wu Yingxiong's book? Wang Jizhen was stunned, "You are all right, why did they still find you?" ”
Jia Han's face was sad, and when he heard his son-in-law's words, he immediately tasted something wrong, "What do you mean?" Uncle, are you too?"
"What does Ming Xiang mean!" Wang Jizhen said, "Shi Kai and I didn't run away, and Ming Xiang also said that Wu Yingxiong's three daughters will be unofficial, and then give them one by one. And one won't be given to your old man, right? ”
"What?" Jia Hanfu was taken aback, "Why is there such a thing?" You didn't tell me."
Wang Zhongxiao glanced at Jia Hanfu, who was old and strong, "Old man, why don't I tell you about Wu Yingxiong's little daughter, but she is stunning!" ”
Wu Yingxiong's youngest daughter is a concubine, and she was pulled by Chang Ning to be a concubine in history, so you can imagine what her appearance is.
In addition, Wu Yingxiong's youngest son Wu Shifan is also a very rare beautiful boy
"Don't, don't." Jia Laohan is not interested in being Wu Sangui's grandson-in-law, "What are you kidding?" I am of the same generation as Wu Sangui, can I have his granddaughter? How will we see each other after we ask for it? ”
Meet?
Wang Jizhen and Wang Zhongxiao were stunned.
What does this mean? Are you still thinking about being a third minister?
Jia Hanfu also knew that he had lost his words, so he immediately frowned and changed the topic: "It's nothing for you two to take Wu Yingxiong's daughter as a concubine, maybe it's still a beautiful thing!"
But if Wu Yingxiong's son dies at your behalf, there will be no disaster in the future! ”
