We never expected that the first prince of the opposite sex in the Ming Dynasty would fall on the head of the general. In this case, we might have to thank the intruder. If they hadn't pressed hard on the capital, His Majesty wouldn't have been so generous.
, and even violated the Ming Dynasty's ancestral precepts and made the general king."
The other commander-in-chief was a bit rough, and he didn't realize the change in Wu Sangui's face at all. He looked livid from the moment he opened his mouth, and his face didn't look good until he finished laughing.
"What are you talking about? Do you think it's a good thing for rebels to rebel against the capital? Shut up!" Li Yuan heard this and shouted in a low voice. He no longer had any hope for him in his heart.
On such an occasion, if you say such words, if there are ears through the wall, if anyone else hears this, tell your majesty, you, me and the general will all be reduced to a dying man.
After being reminded by Li Yuan, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly shut up, looking at Wu Sangui with fear on his face, for fear that he would be dragged out and executed in the next second. He felt that his whole body was shaking instantly, and his face turned pale.
Such disrespectful words would inevitably end in death for anyone who spread the word.
He lowered his head and raised his eyes to look at Wu Sangui in horror, feeling extremely regretful in his heart. He had been so stupid just now and said such treacherous words. He was afraid that he would really harm the general.
"General, I... I just said something indiscriminately. I'll treat it as a fart. I won't say anything anymore." The commander-in-chief, who was extremely majestic in front of his subordinates, came to Wu Sangui and said this.
When he heard the disrespectful words, he immediately panicked and knelt down tremblingly, begging for forgiveness.
"Now that His Majesty's document has arrived, I have no reason to refuse. Besides, the world is now riddled with holes. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural for me to use my abilities to help the country."
Wu Sangui didn't seem to notice the commander-in-chief's begging for mercy. Instead, he turned around and said awe-inspiring words. This made the other two commander-in-chiefs confused. But who made the document so clear? The temptation to be crowned king seemed to no one.
If he could refuse, it would just mean that the general accepted the title of king happily.
When the commander-in-chief who was kneeling on the ground saw this, he also thought that he had escaped the death penalty, and hurriedly flattered him: "My best wishes to the King of the West, congratulations to the King of Pingxi! I wish the King of Pingxi to further his career!"
For a moment, Yuan Tong sneered in his heart that this person was extremely stupid and had no brains. When Li Yuan heard this, he closed his eyes heavily and felt deeply that this person was hopeless and stopped speaking out to defend him.
There was a heavy layer of helplessness in his heart. I had saved him once and taught him not to talk nonsense, but who would have thought that the next sentence would be such an earth-shattering one.
You are already a noble prince. If you take your official career further, wouldn't it mean that you want to be an emperor? Where do your words put His Majesty? I don't know whether His Majesty knows about it, but I am afraid that the general will not tolerate you.
If you speak out, you will die. If the general continues to turn a blind eye to such a treasonous act and pretend to be deaf and dumb, I am afraid that he will definitely be charged with this person's bad words in the future.
Wu Sangui originally thought that he and she had been working as errands under him for several years, so how could they be a little bit obsessed with the twists and turns in the court? When he said these words, it was probably because of his thoughts.
No.
What's the use of staying under his own command? What if one day when he meets His Majesty, he suddenly makes a shocking statement and says something treacherous, wouldn't it bring harm to himself and other brothers?
Stopping his eloquent words, without saying a word, he directly ordered someone to pull the general soldier down. However, the man did not realize that his words were inappropriate and just screamed that he was wronged. Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui showed no mercy and closed his eyes.
, he slowly opened his eyes after being pulled out by the soldiers, feeling much more comfortable inside.
"Tell me your opinion. Did His Majesty act like this because he was at a critical moment of life and death? You know, if this is true, then I am really the first king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty. This is not good for me, and for the whole world.
The Ming Dynasty will be a shocking event, and if I don't handle it properly, I will really tie myself up."
After saying that, Wu Sangui left the camp, glanced at the surroundings, and strode towards a place with fewer crowds. Li Yuan and Yuan Tong followed closely behind him.
The two of them had different thoughts, but they basically knew that the general was extremely uncertain about this matter. He thought that the military report was to report the safety of the capital, but who knew that it was actually to reward him, not to reward him with an official position like a governor, but he came directly.
Remember to punch hard and be crowned king!
Born in the Ming Dynasty, grew up in the Ming Dynasty. Who among the literati and military generals has the idea of one day becoming a king? Except for the princes, others will reward you as a hereditary prince for the first time, even if they have the greatest contribution in the world. Otherwise, they will just give you more.
Reward, but after all, there will be no move to make him a king.
This was decided by the founder of the country, and no one dared to change it for more than two hundred years, but today it has been completely changed in the hands of His Majesty.
What Wu Sangui was thinking more about was, are all the cabinet ministers dead? His Majesty sent an urgent document of 800 miles without knowing anything about the Ministry of War and sent his cronies to deliver the letter. But thinking about it, if this document
If the Ministry of War finds out, I'm afraid those old guys will fight to the death with His Majesty.
"General, I feel that I am a little anxious to temporarily appoint you as the King of Pingxi at the critical moment of life and death. However, your Majesty's other words do not seem so anxious. On the contrary, I have enough confidence to resist the intruders who surrounded the capital, but this is something I could never have imagined.
Yes, the intruders claim to have an army of 500,000 and they are already approaching the city. Why don't they attack the city?"
Li Yuan analyzed carefully and paid full attention to the wording in his words to avoid improper use. After receiving Wu Sangui's instructions to continue speaking, he continued.
"As far as I know, places like Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Hunan have basically all fallen into the hands of bandits. The fall of Liaodong has made the Ming Dynasty even worse. Your Majesty, regardless of the infamy and violation of the ancestral precepts, made the general king. Since it is highly valued, he has never
It’s not an all-or-nothing gamble.”
"Gambling? Interesting."
Wu Sangui strolled forward while Li Yuan talked eloquently. These words gave him some peace of mind.
"I have a different view." After Yuan Tong glanced at Li Yuan, he found that he was not at all surprised when he heard what he was about to refute, and continued with disdain: "Your Majesty's move is clearly to force the general to serve the country.
Be loyal, or defend Shanhaiguan, or rescue the capital. If you are given such a title, and then tell the world, your every move will be in the eyes of the world."
"And this title will also bring you to the attention of intruders and slaves. The current predicament of the Ming Dynasty is so weak, and the burden must not be light. Your Majesty has been holding on for so many years. In such a situation, after all, it is not just His Majesty's fault."
Your Majesty is sharing the fault with you now."
But before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan retorted sternly: "I think you are talking nonsense! As ministers, we naturally have to share the burdens and solve problems for His Majesty. It is natural to share burdens, but how come you have such sinister intentions?
"
Seeing that Li Yuan turned against Li Yuan regardless of his feelings, Yuan Tong's face turned green and red after these words. He immediately stared at the other person, but never thought that the other person was also staring at him.
Although the two commander-in-chiefs had great differences, Wu Sangui had his own ideas in his heart.
Even though the document stated that he was ordered to retreat to Shanhaiguan and leave only 10,000 troops to garrison in Jizhou, waiting to meet His Majesty and his entourage, His Majesty ignored the instructions of his ancestors and the objections of hundreds of officials. Even a few ministers with good intentions would have to do something to express themselves.
Loyalty. The two of them also insisted on their own opinions. Li Yuan still thought of His Majesty the Ming Dynasty in his heart, while Yuan Tong already had some disloyal feelings.
There are only three major events in the document. The first one will not be discussed in detail. The second one is that His Majesty led the people in the harem and broke through the blockade of the capital with hundreds of officials, and then went all the way north, passing through Tongzhou and Jizhou, and went straight to Tianjin. And such a distant place
Naturally, someone had to help him along the way. His Majesty must have known Wang Yongji's character for a long time and sought him out.
But the most important thing is also something that has been bothering me for many days. In other words, if it hadn't been for this matter, entering the capital would not have made me so anxious.
Unknowingly, several people were halfway up the hill, looking at the scenery in the distance with a sense of novelty and spring scenery. They never expected that His Majesty would actually rescue their captured father Wu Xiang and his concubine Chen Yuanyuan.
.
At that time, when he saw this, if His Majesty was in front of him, he would have knelt down to thank Your Majesty. His father's capture has always troubled him, and the capture of his concubine made him sleepless at night. His Majesty's move completely touched his heart.
, if I am still so indifferent, I am afraid that my conscience will really be unbearable.
"Order Li Yuan to lead 10,000 Guan Ning cavalry to the capital. Remember, when you go to the capital, you must explain to His Majesty that the matter of leading troops to fight cannot be changed at will. It must not be treated as a child's play. Your Majesty will definitely cooperate with you."
"Commander Yuan Tong and ten thousand people will return to the pass immediately to defend Jiannu from attacking the city. I am here in Luanzhou, waiting for news from you."
