Chapter 177: All the good birds are hidden in the bow
Wu Sangui took Yongli with him, exited the border of Myanmar and returned to Kunming.
Regarding how to deal with Yongli, the great emperor of tomorrow, Wu Sangui did not dare to be expert, so he could only choose to report it to the capital and let Kangxi, who ascended the throne at the beginning of this year, come up with this idea.
Wu Sangui is now a knife in the hands of the Manchus!
His sword can have its own sharpness, but it cannot have its own will. Otherwise, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would have started to cut down the feudal vassalage.
It is hard for Wu Sangui to comment on the current emperor, since he has never seen him before.
At the beginning of this year, Shunzhi contracted smallpox and died.
The four ministers Aobai, Sony, Erbilong, and Suksaha assisted in the administration. It is said that Kangxi, who had a pockmarked face, ascended the throne.
The current political situation in the DPRK and China is very chaotic.
On the one hand, the Empress Dowager Bumubutai listens behind the curtain and continues to control the affairs of the court.
On the one hand, the four ministers, including Obai, Sony, Ebilong, and Suksaha, were at odds with each other, and there were signs of party strife.
On the other hand, the young emperor expressed his own temptation to the imperial power and wanted to make his voice heard in the court.
There are also disputes between the Manchus and Han ministers in the DPRK, the Mongolian tribes outside the pass are ready to make trouble, and the uprisings within the pass continue...
Even Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi, could not understand the changes in the court situation.
But this didn't matter to Wu Sangui. He just wanted to be his own King of Pingxi safely and rule Yunnan.
As the good news came out, Yongli was placed under house arrest by Wu Sangui.
Waiting for the imperial edict from the capital, Wu Sangui could decide how to deal with Yongli.
…
Yunnan is not developed enough in this era and is still a barren land.
But as the capital of Yunnan, Kunming has a very livable climate.
The air is moist, like spring all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer!
Flowers bloom all year round, the warm sunshine is shining, and the grass and trees are green, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
As Wu Sangui's number one adviser, Liu Xuanchu was assigned a house after the Qing army captured Kunming.
The house covers a large area, with pavilions, rockeries and ponds, and the scenery is very beautiful!
As the new year approaches, Liu Xuanchu's things become less and less.
He got up early today, did a set of Tai Chi, and then lay on the recliner, enjoying the rare leisure time.
The maids in gauze were constantly coming and going, bringing him plates of pastries and tea.
The city of Kunming has experienced wars for a long time, the people's livelihood has been in decline, and the population has suffered serious losses.
But during the war, Renyazi's business was much easier!
During this period of time, Liu Xuanchu's family had many young and beautiful maids.
The warm sunshine in winter shines on people, which is very comfortable.
Liu Xuanchu's face looked very comfortable, but he was still thinking about things in his heart.
Before the Qing army entered Burma, he had persuaded Wu Sangui several times that instead of annihilating Can Ming, it would be better to support the bandits in self-respect.
Wu Sangui refused, and decisively captured Yongli!
Liu Xuanchu is so sad!
The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked!
If Can Ming was gone, what would the Qing Dynasty want Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi, to do?
Do you want to keep it for yourself?
How can this Wu Sangui be so real?!
If Wu Sangui was killed by the Manchus, how could he, Liu Xuanchu, be better off?
Just when Liu Xuan was thinking about things, a young man walked from a distance.
The young man has a square face and thick black eyebrows. He looks about 60 or 70% similar to Liu Xuanchu, but his money-rat tail hairstyle completely ruins his relatively square face, making him look wretched.
He was Liu Xuanchu's son.
"Father, there is a businessman outside who came to visit with a large number of gifts!"
"Said that I have something important to ask to see my father!"
Liu Xuanchu frowned and then spoke.
"Did he say why he came to see his father?"
Liu Xuanchu's son shook his head and said.
"Father, the other party didn't say anything!"
“But a gift note was delivered!”
With that said, he handed a gift note in his arms to his father.
Liu Xuanchu took the gift list, glanced at the numbers on the gift list, and couldn't help but gasped.
Ten thousand taels of silver!
This is not a small number!
He had been Wu Sangui's adviser for such a long time, and the wealth he had accumulated was just this.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Xuanchu spoke.
"It seems that what the person here is asking for is not small, a full ten thousand taels, tsk tsk..."
"Invite people in!"
No matter what the reason for the visitor's request was to see him, for the sake of these ten thousand taels of silver, Liu Xuanchu had to see him.
Of course, if he could handle the request, Liu Xuanchu would do his best for the sake of ten thousand taels of silver.
If it can't be done...
Then Liu Xuanchu had to say sorry, what ten thousand taels? Where did the ten thousand taels come from?
How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?!
Come on, catch the assassin!
Liu Xuanchu's son turned around and left. Not long after, a young monk who looked to be about twenty years old and dressed in brocade clothes walked in following Liu Xuanchu's son.
Liu Xuan narrowed his eyes when he first saw this scene.
Because in the early Qing Dynasty, even Taoist priests had to shave their hair and change clothes, but monks were not involved. Therefore, many anti-Qing people usually presented themselves as monks.
When Liu Xuan first saw the person in front of him, he immediately thought of why he was here.
Everlasting calendar!
Definitely Yongli!
Liu Xuanchu couldn't help but frown, and murderous intent arose in his heart.
Although he advocated letting Wu Sangui raise the bandits to respect themselves, raising the bandits to respect themselves is not the same thing as releasing the Ming Emperor who had already obtained it.
Liu Xuanchu thought about a hundred ways for the remnants of the Ming Dynasty to die!
The monk strode up to Liu Xuanchu, clasped his fists respectfully and said.
"Zhou Tianxu, an overseas survivor, has met Mr. Liu!"
Liu Xuanchu had a murderous intention in his heart, but for the sake of ten thousand taels of silver, he did not attack on the spot. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and said with a dangerous look on his face.
"A thief dares to visit me. Aren't you afraid that I will call someone to capture you?"
Zhou Tianxu smiled slightly, and then spoke with confidence.
"Of course I'm not afraid. My husband's wealth and life are closely related to the life and death of our Ming Dynasty. If my Ming Dynasty perishes, my husband will not be far away from the death of my body and my family. It can be said that my husband and us are like grasshoppers on the same rope.
Why should I be afraid?"
Liu Xuanchu said with a sneer.
"Shameless talk!"
"Our Qing army is extremely powerful, the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, and even Yongli's son is already a prisoner of my prince."
"I stand on the side of the Qing Dynasty, follow King Pingxi to conquer the north and south, and annihilate the rebels. I will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and the emperor's kindness will benefit my descendants."
"You stand on the side of false Ming. Even if you escape overseas, you are just lingering. How can you make such arrogant remarks?"
Zhou Tianxu, however, kept the smile on his face and spoke in a calm tone.
"Sir, don't you hear the saying that all the good birds are hidden in the air, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the running dogs are cooking?"
"Now the greater the contribution King Pingxi has made, the more the Qing court will be wary of it. If the Ming Dynasty is really completely destroyed, how can the Qing court tolerate King Pingxi with strong soldiers and horses?"
"The greater the contribution King Pingxi makes now, the more the Qing court will be wary of King Pingxi!"
"When the time comes, it all depends on the Tatar Emperor's mood whether it will be Bai Ling Zhen Liquor or whether the nine tribes will go to the execution ground together!"
"If King Pingxi is killed by the Qing court, how can he survive without his skin? How can he survive?"
