No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least on the surface, he is a brother and friend!
Wu Sangui laughed loudly, patted Wu Yingxiong's body hard, and laughed loudly.
"I'm fat, but I'm also strong!"
"Practice well and you will be in good shape for the battlefield!"
Wu Yingxiong nodded vigorously and said.
"My son is willing to lead a horse and pedal under his father's tent, accompany his father to defeat the rebels, fight on the battlefield, and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty!"
Wu Sangui nodded vigorously, and then looked away from his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson...
Finally, he looked at the angel sent by the Qing court.
Angel made eye contact with Wu Sangui, and couldn't bear Wu Sangui's gaze. He subconsciously showed timidity, but he still saluted and said.
"I am a member of the Ministry of Rites, Foreign Minister Fan Bin, and I am here to see King Pingxi!"
After saying that, Fan Bin knelt down in front of Wu Sangui and kowtowed several times.
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, sat back in his seat, and asked.
"The imperial court sent an angel. Why?"
Fan Bin raised his head and said.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial court saw that His Majesty's birthday was approaching, and specially sent a subordinate to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday!"
"Moreover, the Empress Dowager cared about the kinship and could not bear the separation of the prince's flesh and blood, and the father and son could not see each other, so she ordered Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to Yunnan to reunite with the prince..."
Wu Sangui nodded slightly. Although I did a very good job in cleaning things, my words sounded like human words.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Bin spoke again.
"Moreover, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor thought of the prince's hard work and meritorious service, which led to the suppression of southwest China and the suppression of thieves and rebels during the Qing Dynasty."
"I specially discussed with the clan government and decided to give the prince a national surname..."
While speaking, the angel took out a scroll of edict from his arms and said loudly.
"King Pingxi accepts the order!"
Wu Sangui frowned, stood up from his seat, knelt down on one knee to receive the order.
Originally, according to the etiquette of the Qing court, Wu Sangui should kneel down and kowtow when receiving the order.
But Wu Sangui had just been assassinated by the Qing Dynasty. When he was in a bad mood, he would naturally express his dissatisfaction appropriately on such small things.
So, I just knelt down on one knee and didn't even kowtow.
On the other hand, other people in the lobby, including Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingqi and others, knelt down one after another, with their foreheads touching the ground and their buttocks raised high.
Seeing this scene, Fan Bin felt dissatisfied with Wu Sangui, but this was Wu Sangui's territory.
He could only choose to turn a blind eye.
He opened his mouth and continued to preach.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: King Wu Sangui of Pingxi opened Shanhaiguan, welcomed the king's troops into the Central Plains, and served as the king's vanguard, conquering the world, pacifying the northwest, and fixing the southwest. His hard work is so great that he can cover the sun and moon, and feel the heaven and earth..."
"Today, the Ministry of Rites and the clan's office have decided to confer Wu Sangui the title of ****, and give him the corresponding crown clothes, ribbons, ceremonial guards, and a national surname."
"The entire clan was carried under the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner to appreciate the status of the clan..."
Listening to Fan Bin's announcement, Wu Sangui was completely stunned.
I'm riding a horse, what the hell is this?
****!
Give the country a surname!
Raise the Manchurian Yellow Flag!
Grant clan status!
After receiving four awards in a row, Wu Sangui was almost stunned.
As these rewards came down, Wu Sangui's determination to fight against the Qing Dynasty, which had gradually become firmer because of an assassination, began to waver again.
It’s not that Wu Sangui is spineless, it’s just that the Qing Dynasty has given him too much!
As soon as the imperial edict was received, from today on, he is no longer Wu Sangui, but Aisin Gioro Sangui!
…
Late at night, Wu Sangui was lying on the couch with Chen Yuanyuan in his arms.
With her warm body pressed against his, Wu Sangui had no intention of sleeping at this time.
Of course, it's not just because Chen Yuanyuan is plump and soft.
More importantly, he was still hesitating about what happened during the day.
An assassination made Wu Sangui furious!
If he didn't still have some sense, he might have directly raised his flag and launched an army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.
However, whether Wu Yingxiong was released or the Qing court awarded generous rewards, Wu Sangui was shaken again.
The Qing court's handiwork was really too great!
After tossing and turning, Wu Sangui couldn't sleep. He wanted to put on his clothes, get up and go outside to relax, but his actions woke up Chen Yuanyuan, who was sleeping soundly.
Chen Yuanyuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?"
Wu Sangui waved his hand and said.
"Just sleep!"
"I really can't sleep, let's go out and relax!"
Chen Yuanyuan said with a slight hesitation in her voice.
"If you have any troubles, Your Majesty, you can talk to me about it!"
"Although I am just a woman, I can still relieve the prince's worries."
When Wu Sangui heard this, he nodded slightly and gave up the idea of going out for a walk.
He lay back on the couch again, and then told Chen Yuanyuan his hesitation.
He and Chen Yuanyuan are now husband and wife, sharing weal and woe.
Although the topic of anti-Qing was taboo, it was nothing to talk about with Chen Yuanyuan.
Wu Sangui was sure that Chen Yuanyuan would not betray herself to the Qing court!
After talking about his worries, Wu Sangui held Chen Yuanyuan in his arms and said.
"How is it? Madam, do you have any suggestions for me?"
Chen Yuanyuan rested her head on Wu Sangui's chest, her soft and delicate body leaning on Wu Sangui's arms, and the little bird said lovingly.
"The Qing Dynasty has given so much!"
"It's just... there's just something..."
Wu Sangui said warmly.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it!"
Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said.
“I just feel like the Qing Dynasty gave me too much!”
Chen Yuanyuan's words awakened Wu Sangui.
Yes, the Qing Dynasty gave too much!
If you get it right in one step, won’t it be impossible to seal it in the future?!
Raise the flag, give the country's surname and clan status, ****...
It should be given step by step!
As a result, Qing Dynasty got it right in one step!
How can we seal this in the future?
Doesn’t this make it clear that you are not prepared for a future?!
Wu Sangui's originally shaken mood became firm again.
It’s okay if you don’t do this Aisin Gioro Sangui!
This is the power of pillow style!
The effect of ten thousand words spoken by others is not as effective as an unintentional mention by the person next to you...
Wu Sangui made a decision, felt relieved, hugged Chen Yuanyuan, and soon fell asleep.
…
On the second day, in response to the angel's request, Wu Sangui led troops into Guangxi to rescue the Qing army in Guangxi.
Wu Sangui expressed his stance in public and agreed!
He also expressed that Wu Sangui was willing to sacrifice his heart and soul for the Qing Dynasty.
Fan Bin was naturally happy, but he did not leave Kunming immediately and return to Beijing to resume his duties.
Because the order he received was not only to deliver orders, but also to stay in Kunming to supervise Wu Sangui's movements and serve as a supervisory army!
In this way, under Fan Bin's nose, Wu Sangui began to concentrate his troops on Kunming and prepare the food, fodder and military supplies needed for the army's expedition.
Wu Sangui continued to send his own handwritten letters to all parts of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.
Fully mobilize your personal connections, mobilize troops stationed in various places, and communicate with your cronies.
When the time comes, as long as he raises the flag, the change of flag in Southwest China will be a foregone conclusion.
Everything is preparing for the uprising!
The Yi Ding cavalry and the Guan Ning army have been practicing continuously during this period.
The craftsmen in Kunming City were gathered together and were responsible for making equipment and armor for the army.
Everything indicates that the war is coming!
However, since Wu Sangui's banner was to send troops to Guangxi, all this was done openly.
Even in this process, Fan Bin, a big enemy, helped Wu Sangui a lot!
Just because Wu Sangui can enter Guangxi as soon as possible!
