The thirty-second chapter: Guo Xiu's speech against the evils of the time, urging the sea to fight light

Wu Dan took the sword in a daze and hesitated. After spending time with Kangxi for a long time, this rough man had already developed his own mind. Although Guo Xiu had committed corruption and bribery cases in the past, he later cut off his fingers and washed the land, and he did not change his shame.

He had heard about it. He didn’t think much about the reason behind today’s incident, but it was clearly caused by Xiao Lizi’s lawless bullying of the people outside. Kangxi was killing people in a rage right now, but who knows what will happen when he calms down? He glanced at it

Li Dequan, with a proud look on his face, stepped forward and was about to help Guo Xiu. Guo Xiu shook his arms and broke free. He kowtowed and said in a low voice, "Thank you!" He stood up and left with a long sigh.

The courtyard fell silent. Dozens of eyes stared at the furious Kangxi. Everyone was in a state of confusion. Gao Shiqi had been thinking for a long time and had already made up his mind. He looked at Tianhao with his hands behind his back and sighed, murmuring: "What can I do?"

, but...the sun doesn't shine on my sincerity!"

"Well?"

"Slave, this Guo Xiu is really cheap." Gao Shiqi said slowly with a faint look in his eyes, "In a moment, a corrupt official who had committed embezzlement crimes turned into a critic named in the annals of history... How cheap!"

Kangxi was stunned, thought for a long time, and stomped into the room. The three ministers in the study exchanged glances. Suo'etu called Su Lun and whispered: "Go out and tell Wu Dan, wait a moment, wait a moment."

Let’s talk later.”

Kangxi entered the inner room with a sullen face. He saw Axiu and Han Liu sitting and standing, their faces turned pale. It was obvious that the scene in the courtyard frightened them. Seeing Kangxi sitting down without saying a word, Han Liu was busy.

He made a cup of tea and brought it over, and said with a smile: "The tea is hot, master, let's calm down before eating."

"Yeah." Kangxi breathed heavily, then turned around, patted his forehead and said with a sigh: "Yes, if it's too hot, you will be burned - such a bastard Hanchen will risk his life and shame at every turn.

Fishing for fame and reputation can really make people mad!" Axiu took the opportunity to advise: "It is naturally painful to criticize dragon scales. We listened in the room and found that this man was a bit stubborn, but the master started to use a whip, which seemed to be too.

I'm a little anxious..." Kangxi took a sip of tea and looked out the window blankly, as if he had nothing to do, and suddenly felt an inexplicable emptiness. After a long while, he suddenly asked in a daze: "Mr. Han Liu,

Do you, my little family, have any troubles?"

Han Liu said with a smile: "Both big and small have the same principles, and every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Poor families are fighting for a bite to eat, and the children are quarreling, crying and yelling, and the adults can't do anything.

The method is like this in the Shunzhi period of our Han family. The seventh and eighth aunts of the rich family argue over each other, and the eldest wife and concubines are jealous, which makes the chickens and dogs restless. In some cases, in a wealthy family, the children are kind, filial, and harmonious in appearance, but in their hearts

What comes to mind is the family property of the ancestors, fighting in the nest, some earn it, and some lose it. It is rare to have a good son who can inherit the family, but there is another kind of trouble. Such a son is often a stubborn person, and he is wise.

'A stubborn child never loses his fortune'!"

"A stubborn child will not ruin the family!" Kangxi stood up according to the case, and suddenly remembered what his "teacher" Su Ma Lagu said when he first ascended to the throne: "If a family has dissatisfied sons, it will not destroy the family; if the state has dissatisfied ministers, it will not be destroyed."

Country." He shuddered uneasily and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He took a few steps out of the door and saw that everyone was still standing silently. His lips trembled a few times and he asked with difficulty: "Where is Wu Dan? People...

killed?"

Suo'etu hurriedly took a step forward, bowed and said with a smile: "We are still waiting for the order outside. I have the guts to order Wu Dan to postpone the execution..." "Okay!" Kangxi said loudly: "Quickly send Guo Xiu in!" Wu Dan is here

Someone outside heard it and said to Guo Xiu with a smile: "My master has calmed down and is calling you! If you win the lottery, don't forget to show mercy to me, the old swordsman!"

Guo Xiu, with disheveled hair and a black forehead, walked back to the patio with heavy steps. He did not know whether he was sad or angry, and his eyes were full of tears. He did not look at Kangxi and only took two steps forward, as if he had exhausted all his energy.

With enough strength, he knelt down heavily and said softly: "Long live the minister, what's the matter?" Kangxi's heart was also churning violently. Looking at this little fifth-rank official, he was at a loss for words. After a while, he said: "Yes."

Look, how should this matter be resolved today?" Guo Xiu kowtowed and cried: "I have committed a crime of disrespect, and I respectfully ask the emperor to issue an edict to clarify the canonical punishment. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the three eunuchs committed deception against the emperor.

For this crime, we should also abandon the city to warn the world, and ask the emperor to punish him as well."

No one expected that Guo Xiu would answer like this and actually want to die together with Li Dequan and the others! Li Dequan had been gritting his teeth and staring and was so happy that when he heard this, he suddenly trembled into a ball. The three of them knelt down with ashen faces and were about to beg for mercy. Kangxi

He shouted in disgust: "I didn't ask you anything, please kneel back!" Kangxi thought for a while, waved his hands sadly, and sighed: "Guo Xiu, come into the hall with me to talk." After saying that, he walked into the main hall.

.There were dozens of pairs of eyes in the yard, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one said anything, only Hai Dongqing occasionally called "quack" on the shelf.

It was already dusk, the sunset was colorful, the clouds were shining, and a ray of sunset slanted into the hall through the Dafu door. Kangxi and Guo Xiu sat and knelt, and were silent for a long time. Kangxi said in a heavy tone: "You

Kneel a little closer." Guo Xiu knelt down for a few steps and came close to Kangxi's knees. He heard Kangxi say again: "What you played today cannot be said to be unreasonable, but your words are too much. To be fair, am I really Jie and Zhou?

Your Majesty? How can I have any dignity in front of so many people?"

"Reply to the Emperor!" Seeing Kangxi's sincerity, Guo Xiu's heart trembled, tears came out of her eyes, and she choked back with sobs, "Those who flatter me are enemies, and those who ridicule me are my relatives. There is a clear saying in ancient times. I pray for long live and silently examine the hearts of my ministers. The most important thing is the most important thing, the most important thing is the light thing."

The Han Dynasty emphasizes internal affairs and neglects external affairs, which is really a bad government. I dare not tell the truth." Kangxi paused and smiled: "The Manchus say that I am too accustomed to manipulating the Han people, and you, a Han, say that I emphasize Manchu over others.

Han, it’s not easy to be a human being! There are no fish in clear water ponds. I think there is no need to mention this matter again. I want to ask you, you said that the Han people are still not convinced by this dynasty. Is this true? Eighteen years later, I

Are you looking much better?" Guo Xiu kowtowed and said, "It was a grand event to launch the Erudite and Confucian Academy of Sciences in the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, but with only more than 180 people, how could we capture the hearts of all the remnants of the world! The emperor's efforts to govern are beginning to take shape, and his heart is full of enthusiasm.

People with unreasonable ambitions will not dare to advocate that what they say is true; if it is said that all people are convinced, I will not dare to agree with it."

Kangxi nodded and listened, leaned forward and said: "What have you heard? You might as well tell it directly." Guo Xiu said: "I am most likely to hear such words because I have been punished for my crime. Minister Daowen Wu Hanchen

, often compare the bad government of this dynasty to the previous Ming Dynasty, and their dissatisfaction is beyond words. There are even writings by old people recalling the laws of the previous Ming Dynasty, and wantonly dividing the boundaries between Chinese, Yi, Manchu and Han. There are even those who still worship Zhen Zhengshuo. How can we take it lightly?

? Like Wumeicun’s poem before his death, Long Live, have you ever heard it?” Wumeicun was a poet during the Chongzhen period. He became an official in this dynasty and was highly regarded by celebrities. Kangxi couldn’t help being surprised and asked hurriedly: “What did he write?

?Can you carry it?"

"I can't recite them all," Guo Xiu kowtowed. "When Meicun became an official in this dynasty, Shangqiu Hou Chaozong sent a letter to stop him. In Meicun's poems, there is a line in Meicun's poem, 'I will always bear the responsibility of Hou Yingnuo in life and death, and my lapels will be filled with tears of pepper syrup'." In "The Dying Poems", there is "The old friend was generous and full of surprises. For those years, he kept brooding and secretly lived in the grass" - this still corresponds to the erudite and Confucian scholar. The rest are like Zhejiang Lu Liuliang's "Qian Tomb Song", Gu Yan Wu Zhi's poem "Diao Qin" and Huang Keshi's poem "Crossing Nanyang" both use words to create comparisons and have profound meanings..."

"Alas!" Kangxi couldn't help but sigh deeply. Since he came to the throne, he had put in a lot of effort to reconcile the Chinese, Yi, Manchu and Han Dynasties. He thought that his erudition and Confucianism would conquer the common people in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, there were still people... who were looking down in thought. He then heard Guo Xiu say: "Of course, the situation is much better than before the eighteenth year of Kangxi. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about what I say. I believe that the rule of our dynasty must be informed to the world. On that day when the army entered the pass, The ancestral temple of the Ming Dynasty has ceased to exist, and our world is really in the hands of Li Zicheng. This truth must be awarded to the academy and everyone will know..." As he said this, he saw Kangxi stand up and stopped talking. Kangxi was excited. He waved his hands uneasily: "Okay... keep talking, keep talking - I'm not used to sitting around and thinking about things..."

"...Yes!" Guo Xiu said again, "The people of the world don't know this truth, and they still think that the Qing Dynasty is trying to seize the Zhu family and stand on its own. This is very worrying! I think we should follow the example of the former Ming Dynasty, respect Confucius and Mencius, and establish ten sages. The Zhe Temple commemorates civilization; we visit the true descendants of Emperor Zhu and enshrine them in the Ming Ancestral Temple; we offer sacrifices to the Ming Emperor’s mausoleum and inform the subjects that our dynasty’s revenge for the Ming Dynasty has been completed, and the official history of the Ming Dynasty is compiled to show that the destruction of the country can never be restored..."

Kangxi was radiant after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Guo Xiu with admiration: Such a talented person doesn't seem to know how he got the pearl!

"As for the Third Prince Zhu and his ilk," Guo Xiu said again, "they were originally traitors with evil intentions. They were arrested in response to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and they were arrested strictly in order to regulate the country's laws. In this way, there is no need to worry about the instability of the people's hearts and the world. No cure?"

Kangxi listened quietly, nodded and smiled, sat back solemnly on his chair, and shouted outside: "Suo'etu, you guys come in, ask Li Dequan and three others to come, and listen to me!"

The minister of study, Wu Dan and other guards and eunuchs, because they had not obeyed the imperial edict, had been standing in place. Seeing the sky getting dark, Kangxi and Guo Xiuwu were talking in the room. They had no clue. When they heard the summons, Wu Dan was busy ordering people. Holding the lamp. Li Dequan heard what Kang Xi said and knew something was wrong. When he came in, he twisted Hai Dongqing's hind legs hard. The Hai Dongqing screamed in pain, which made Kangxi's eyes jump.

"Gao Shiqi's imperial edict!" Kangxi dictated calmly, "Guo Xiu offended Yan Zhijian. Although his words were disrespectful, his loyalty to the country was as bright as the moon. I will not offend him for the extreme words he said. - Guo Xiu Xiubu... the position of the right censor of the capital procuratorate!"

The Youdu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the deputy chief of the Supervisory Censor of the Sixth Section and Fifteenth Section of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Not only does he have the independent power of impeachment, he is also allowed to "report on rumors" - even if the impeachment is false, he will not sit down, and his rank is From the first rank. Guo Xiu was demoted to the fifth rank and was demoted to the fifth rank. He was suddenly promoted to the position of cabinet minister. Such a promotion was unheard of since the founding of the country. Mingzhu and Suo'etu couldn't help but look at each other, wondering where Guo Xiu was. Something was said in the room, and suddenly he was favored by the saints. Gao Shiqi was also shocked, looked up at Kangxi, and started writing hurriedly again.

"... I will be given a single-eyed feather to serve in the same court as the six ministers." Kangxi thought while dictating, "The eunuch Li Dequan and three other people have violated the law, assaulted officials, roared in court, lied and deceived the emperor, they should be punished immediately

cut--"

Before they finished speaking, Li Dequan and the three of them were frightened out of their wits. They lay on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Kangxi smiled and said: "You have violated the national law, so it is useless to beg me. If Guo Yushi impeached you, I can only act in accordance with the law."

... As the saying goes, it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself, so Guo Xiu had to withdraw his original music!" After hearing this, the three people hurriedly turned around and looked at Guo Xiu with tearful eyes, and begged for mercy. Suo'etu knew this.

Kangxi's intentions, seeing that Guo Xiu was full of anger, he smiled and said: "Master Guo, look at my thin face, put down your hands and forgive these three killers! These bitches are ignorant and pitiful. The emperor's sea

Dongqing, you need Li Dequan to serve you!"

Guo Xiu was stunned for a moment and looked around at a loss. It was not until Suo'etu interceded for mercy that he came to his senses, moved his body and stammered: "I thank you... How dare you..." After calming down for a while, he stammered:

He spoke more fluently, "I am not ignorant of the commendation, and I respectfully ask the emperor to take back the order. I am a guilty person, and I have no merits. I have received this great favor with one sentence, and I am afraid that I will open up the hearts of all the ministers."

, seek a clear warning from the Holy One! As for Li Dequan and the other three, I have punished them with the cane in Sanhe Yamen. Who doesn’t have a king and father? Who doesn’t want a king and father to support and support him? And if I ask for mercy in the middle hall, I will be exempted from the crime of deceiving the king by the three of them.

"Mingzhu lowered her head and thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what Guo Xiu said is reasonable. We should wait until Guo Xiu has made meritorious service before adding a reward, so as to avoid internal and external ministers having less discussion." Suo'etu also said:

"If you are promoted too high at once, it will be hard to convince the people, and it will not be good for Guo Xiu. The imperial censor is an important weapon of the country. If you give it so lightly, I am afraid that the emperor will depose him as he pleases. Please give me the emperor's holy advice."

"Then let's confer the title of Supervisory Censor first!" Kangxi stood up with a smile and said, "Actually, as long as we examine the facts, there is no harm in getting a few more levels. Mingzhu, you were just a little guard at the beginning, and you moved up to seven levels in one day.

Jin was promoted to the deputy capital censor. What do you think, Gao Shiqi?" Gao Shiqi said with a smile: "That's what he said. People like Guo Xiu who offend Yan Pilin and disregard life and death do have the style of ancient martyrs and the character of censors.

I am so convinced!" "I'm not afraid of your dissatisfaction. This person's knowledge is not inferior to yours, and his courage is much greater than yours!" Kangxi stood up with a smile and said, "I am really tired today and need to take a rest. You and Guo Xiu will discuss it.

After returning to the capital, he met Xiong Cilu and went to the study room to discuss it and issue it with a seal! Well... he also drafted a decree to Shi Lang and asked him to report the details of the war preparations. If

Now that the preparations for war are complete, you can go to sea and fight with your camera - I am eager to go on a southern tour!"

In the summer of the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign, it was rainy in the north and windy in the south. The east wind came from the South Pacific, blowing thousands of hectares of waves and white-capped mountains. After Laita handed over ten exquisite red cannons and one hundred thousand rockets, he delivered them to

According to the imperial edict, he brought a large group of concubines and concubines with him and transferred them back to Beijing on an official ship. Only the war governor Yao Qisheng and the navy admiral Shi Lang were left in Fuzhou City. The atmosphere of war immediately became intense. Since March, the officials sent to Kangxi to urge preparations for war

According to the edict, Shi Lang ordered 300 gunboats to be transferred to Haikou. Wei Dongting promptly transferred 5,000 jars of Jiangnan Shaoxing wine, 2,000 pigs, 500 live sheep and 300,000 shi of white rice to reward the army. Shi Lang tensed up.

I felt a little relaxed. For half a month, I could hear the wailing of pigs and sheep from all camps.

Yao Qisheng received a new salary of five hundred thousand from the Nanjing Customs Governor's Office. Without stopping, he drove his horse to the Chinese army to see Shi Lang. The military camps along the road were full of well-fed and drunk soldiers, gathered in small groups.

Some wrestled, some practiced archery, and some squatted on horses, lifted stone locks, stood on stakes, walked on the wave bridge, and played on swings... Commander-in-Chief Chen Mang led ten sergeants who had excelled in drills to tour the three armies wearing red and flowers.

The soldiers crowded together beside the arrow path, the victors were proud of themselves, the defeated ones were clamoring and dissatisfied, shouting "Let's compete again tomorrow!" Yao Qisheng couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. When he entered the official hall, he saw Shi Lang staring at the sea map alone and thinking deeply.

Without saying a word, Yao Qisheng couldn't help but smile and said: "My dear friend, the morale is very high. You really deserve to be a famous naval general and you are very good at running the army!"

"Heaven's heart hates separatism, but the military's morale comes from Heaven's heart." Shi Lang gave up his seat and said with a smile, "Thanks to Brother Qisheng's earnest teachings, the soldiers all understand the principle of 'war brings peace, and war seeks unification'." Shi Lang said

He turned his eyes faintly and said, "But... there are still many people who are afraid of water battles! You have only seen it once, so you don't know what is going on behind the scenes - many people have carved their names on bricks, and their place of origin is buried in

In the sand."

Yao Qisheng listened silently, and a word came out of his mouth gloomily: "Kill!" Shi Lang smacked his lips and said: "This alone won't do it. When I first arrived in Fujian, didn't I kill more than a dozen deserters, and I will still do it after that.

Some people break their arms or legs, and some even commit suicide - they would rather let you kill them on land than go to the sea! This shows that killing is not an option. When I was patrolling the camp the day before yesterday, I ran into a brick buryer. Not only did I not punish him, but I also

And you even praised him!" Yao Qisheng laughed and said, "How do you praise such a death-phobe?"

Shi Lang compared the sea area map with his hands and said without raising his head: "I praise him for his determination to die, sacrifice his life for charity, and his determination to go east to Qiongdao to serve the country..." Yao Qisheng couldn't help laughing. "Don't laugh.

, This is human nature, not necessarily because we are afraid of death. We have been training on inland rivers and lakes for several years, and no one has ever actually gone to sea to fight, so we feel uneasy."

The two of them were talking when they saw Lan Li striding in with his sword in hand and said: "Two military sects, Mr. Li Guangdi, bachelor of Wenhua Palace, is here to see you!"

I had seen this news in the Di newspaper yesterday. I originally thought that Li Guangdi would arrive in Fuzhou in three to five days, but he didn't expect it to arrive so quickly. Shi Lang couldn't help but glance at Yao Qisheng in surprise, and Yao Qisheng smiled and said, "Li Anxi's bet is all on you."

He is on his body, so he is naturally anxious. There is nothing unpredictable about the mentality of young people: if this battle is fought well, the ministers in the study will not be able to escape!" Shi Lang also smiled and said: "After all, you scholars are really on the same page -

—Set off cannons and open the middle door to welcome the angel!" With that said, the two of them came out hand in hand.

Li Guangdi said Holy Ann, holding the edict in his hand and walked in proudly. He was wearing a robe with nine pythons and five claws, decorated with golden pheasant patches. Under the flowered coral top, a shiny braid stretched straight to his waist. He wore foundation and soap boots.

There was a sound of arranging, and he walked straight to the middle hall with a straight face, stood still to the south, looked at Shi Lang and said: "Shi Lang accepts the order!"

"My lord, Shi Lang respectfully listens to the edict!"

Li Guang nodded, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read:

We have already issued numerous edicts to cross the sea and suppress the rebels in Taiwan. I am eager to express my expectation, but because the stakes are so important, it is not convenient to decide remotely. Now I am going with Li Guangdi to declare my order, and I hope to raise the army to the east as soon as possible, so as to avoid long-term desertion. I will seal it.

Shi Langyou has the title of Governor. I admire this!

"Thank you!" Shi Lang kowtowed deeply.

After a few words of greetings, Li Guangdi, Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng sat down as guests and hosts. Although he was galloping for days and driving at starry nights, Li Guangdi didn't look tired at all. He only took a few sips of tea and said: "The edict is very clear.

Yes, the students are here in a hurry, just because the emperor is a little anxious. Mr. Shi has repeatedly written, saying that he has been ordered to cross the sea with his camera, but there is still no news, so he specially ordered the students to come to check. I wonder what the general’s plan is?”

"Sir," Shi Lang heard the imperial edict, but felt faintly unhappy in his heart. For some reason, he doubted what the proud minister opposite him said in front of the emperor, so he laughed dryly, "Such as the emperor is not satisfied with the official status.

Being able to cross the sea, he was promoted to the post of governor, but no one under the title dared to accept it. The war is fierce and dangerous, and there must be a way to complete victory before entering the army. How can he act hastily? Since Lang was appointed, he has been thinking about it day and night.

There is only one thing: I will never act out of selfish hatred. If the emperor's kindness and compassion for the people of Taiwan are not wasted, how dare he hold back his troops and support the enemy's self-respect?" This sentence went straight to his heart, and Li Guangdi's face couldn't help but smile slightly.

Yihong, this edict was indeed drawn up by him. Now after listening to Shi Lang's words, it seems that he is judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. As a famous Taoist scholar, his self-esteem can't help but be stung. For a long time, Li Guang

The local said: "General Shi, don't get me wrong! The troops under the general's command are all brought from the north, and with the local navy in Fujian, the emperor may not be able to unified command, so I specially added this letter. This is Zhu's approval. You will understand it at a glance.

." Yao Qisheng stroked his long beard and said: "After all, it is more convenient to command the entire army as the right governor. Please rest assured, Qing Jin, our Fujian soldiers and horses, including me, are at the mercy of Lord Shi.

!”

"The purpose of training troops is to fight," Li Guangdi frowned and muttered. "It's impossible to delay it for so long. Last winter, the emperor intended to order you to march into the army, but you haven't moved yet. I don't know why?" "I'm waiting.

Yeah!" Shi Lang said, "The time is not ripe, how can you rush into the sea?" Li Guangdi leaned forward and asked with a half-smile: "What are you waiting for?"

Seeing Li Guangdi's uncomfortable look, Shi Lang's heart sank. He tapped his fingers on the back of his hand and said slowly: "Wait for the wind! Mr. Li, please note that the boat is sailing in the wind!"

"Wind!" Li Guangdi giggled and said, "The students are from Fujian. Here there is the new moon in winter, smoke in summer, gold in autumn, and harmony in spring. The four winds are all present. The students came all the way, and there was wind every day. Why didn't the general

Are you willing to send troops?" Yao Qisheng glanced at Shi Lang. He advocated using the north wind. But when he saw Li Guangdi getting off the car, he was eager to use troops. He didn't know the difficulty of using troops. He felt slightly angry and said coldly: "War is not about chanting the moon and the wind.

If you are not careful, tens of thousands of lives will be ruined. Not all winds can be used, please be aware, Brother Jin Qing!" Li Guangdi came to supervise the battle as an imperial envoy. As soon as he got off the horse, he felt that both of them were awkward, and he felt unhappy in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "A scholar with a bare face and a white face does not understand military affairs, but I would like to ask you, what kind of wind is best for sending troops?"

"South wind!" Shi Lang said, "I'm waiting for the south wind. Without the south wind, we can't go to the sea!"

Li Guangdi laughed and said: "In that case, I have to wait carefully! If the south wind blows when we go to the sea, and the east wind blows on the way, wouldn't it be child's play to have to return to the division again?"

Shi Lang did not answer immediately. He looked Li Guangdi up and down, and then said for a long time: "A general who doesn't know astronomy, geography, and weather conditions is a mediocre general! Mr. Li, you fully support the recovery of Taiwan. You have worked hard to prepare food and wages for me over the past few years. You have great foresight."

Zhuo Shi, I admire you very much. There is nothing to say about the Holy Emperor appointing you to supervise the army. If Shi Lang is willing to retreat and let you lead the army to the sea like you are today, how about it?" Hearing that Shi Lang wanted to give up his choice, Li Guangdi calmed down.

Kangxi’s original intention was for him to come to inspect as an imperial envoy without the title of military governor. He could not bear the crime of violating the order. He was a well-educated Confucian scholar and a former Ming Tai supervisor who restricted the general. He missed many military planes. How could he be allowed to do so because of a moment of anger?

An eternal joke? Thinking of this, Li Guangdi changed his smile, brushed his robe and sighed: "Brother Lang, you are too harsh to speak. I, the imperial envoy, came to the shore to beat drums and cheer for you. There is no substitute for this."

I hope the general will forgive me for my painstaking efforts."

Listening to this, Yao Qisheng felt that Li Guangdi's words were very sincere and not as arrogant as when he first sat down. He and Chen Menglei were friends, and he originally despised Li Guangdi and wanted Shi Lang, a stubborn man, to come and touch him. After hearing this, he felt that the matter was serious.

Da, then came out to reconcile and said: "We all work together with the same emperor, and we are on a mission together, and we all have the same thoughts. Jin Qing has a sacred mandate, so he naturally has to urge the use of troops. Lao Shi is also afraid that if something goes wrong, the emperor's important affairs will be delayed.

! Qing Jin has come all the way and is covered with dust and dust. Let’s not talk about it anymore. The people who came here - have a drink to wash away the dust of the imperial envoy!" (To be continued)
