Chapter 33: Yang Qilong conspires to disrupt Beijing, Wu Ying bears the tongue
After seeing off Kangxi and his entourage, Wu Yingxiong looked at his watch and saw that it was already the end of the year and the beginning of Shen Dynasty. He hurried back to Haochunxuan and asked Baozhu and Lang Tingshu to rest first. He wanted to write a letter to his father quickly.
The letter was very long, even the pun-filled dialogue during the chess game with Zhou Peigong was written word for word. At the end, he wrote:
...Kangxi was so cunning and cunning that no one in the history of emperors could match him. If the king does not withdraw from the vassal vassal, the disaster will be shallow in the present; if the king withdraws from the vassal, the disaster will be severe in the future. The aspirations of the people of the world, and the safety of the nine clans of the Wu clan are in danger.
, depending on the king’s thoughts, thinking deeply and over again, and making wise decisions, then the Han Dynasty will be very lucky!
The secret letter was not written until it was time to light the lamp, and Wu Yingxiong carefully sealed it with fire paint. The next day, he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect Gastrodia elata, and sent his close servants directly to Yunnan. When everything was ready, Wu Yingxiong called Baozhu and Lang Tingshu to come to Haochun.
Have dinner together.
The three of them were all preoccupied. Baozhu was even a little upset. He took a few bites and stopped eating. He stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the room." Lang Tingshu also stood up and prepared.
Resign.
"Don't be despondent, the situation is about to change!" Wu Yingxiong's voice was a little hoarse, and he stared at the flickering candlelight with his faint eyes, and said word by word, "If it was easy to evacuate this domain, we would have evacuated long ago! Shi Cong and the others are here
After the secret discussion in Guangdong, the three kings separately requested to withdraw from the vassal. They must make a big fuss! Wang Shirong arrived in Shaanxi first and had already persuaded more than 20 generals under Ma Yaozi. As soon as the fight started, the west side immediately wanted him to look good. Now Sun Yanling
He has become a puppet. Others don't know him. I know best. Don't look at him trying to fawn over Kong Sizhen like a dog. In fact, he is a face-loving donkey. He can't be convinced! If Wang Shirong goes there to fan the flames, he will be burned.
Get up. Can a little bug like Kong Sizhen lift up a sleeping sheet? We need to cheer up, the drama is about to begin!"
For Baozhu, this sentence was a bit out of context. His mood was very complicated. After pondering for a long time, Baozhu said: "Your Majesty, you should be cautious in Beijing. It goes without saying. I will do whatever you tell me."
manage."
"You are worthy of being the prince's confidant. You are so loyal!" Wu Yingxiong's eyes suddenly flashed, "But now we can't stay in the room. We have to find a way to get out of this dragon's pond and tiger's den! I can no longer be in the dark with Yang Qilong and the others.
, I have to bring them here for my use, otherwise, just the few of us, we will be captured if we can’t leave Zhili!" He looked up at the banner in the hall, and used rice paper and silk to frame ten characters as big as teacups,
Although it is written without any structure, it is the secret of life that my father gave me:
Feelings of displeasure and displeasure
Wu Yingxiong closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, as if he was gathering his courage and wisdom. He sneered for a long time and then said: "Zhou Quanbin is a little man with a big heart. He took advantage last time and was so powerful that he could come to my place as an uninvited guest."
, of course I can also go to his house to take a dip in this muddy water!"
Lang Tingshu was startled and said hurriedly: "Go now? Isn't it too hasty?"
"Don't rush!" Wu Yingxiong made up his mind and stood up with a slap on the back of his chair. "I've been thinking about it for a long time. I just need someone to protect me at the dragon and tiger banquet. With the security pillar here, everything is ready!" As he said,
He turned around and poured three glasses of wine, handed one to Baozhu and Lang Tingshu each, touched it and said, "Drink it!"
Xiao Maozi brought two new pieces of information about Wu Sangui's withdrawal from the feudal clan and the Emperor's visit to Wu Yingxiong's Mansion to play chess, and reported to Li Zhu at the Zhou Mansion on Drum Tower West Street. As soon as he entered the Zhong Sanlang Society, Yang Qilong immediately saw that this Xiao Maozi had the qualities of Wang Zhenbang and Huang
The conditions that people like Sicun and Asan could not meet were that they were young, had a lot of money, had many acquaintances, were smart and well-informed. Judging from what Huang Jing passed down, Kangxi still had the intention of using Xiao Maozi. After several tests,
, the first time he met Xiao Maozi, Yang Qilong rewarded him with two hundred taels of gold cakes, and told Li Zhu that Wang Zhenbang was not responsible for the promotion of Xiao Maozi. He and Li Zhu were in charge personally, and Huang Jing and Huang Jing were doing their own thing and not to collude with each other.
.So Xiao Maozi quickly became a celebrity.
These two pieces of news immediately caused a sensation in the Zhou Mansion. Jiao Shan, Zhu Shangxian, Zhang Da, Chen Jizhi and Shi Guobin were all whispering, assessing the situation that was about to change. Huang Sicun felt that Xiao Maozi was standing between him, so he felt
His face was a little dull, but when he looked back at Wang Zhenbang, he seemed to have no grudge and was smoking long pipe cigarettes one after another.
Yang Qilong had already heard what people were saying inside. When he walked out of the hall, he saw everyone gathered around Xiao Maozi asking for details. Xiao Maozi seemed to have become the central figure, with his face shining, sitting on the wooden footrest.
When he spoke, he was all excited and his saliva was flying. Seeing Yang Qilong coming out, Li Zhu jumped up from his chair and said loudly: "Young master is here, kneel down!" When more than a dozen people heard this, they turned around and knelt down.
, and shouted softly:
"Chitose!"
Yang Qilong ignored it, walked straight to Xiao Maozi, and asked pleasantly: "These are all confidential matters - how do you know about it - get up, sit and talk casually, and from now on, as long as you don't invite gods or burn incense
As a general assembly, let’s not mess with this rule.”
"Return to the young master!" Xiao Maozi stood up quickly and said, "I have many friends! I sent it to the imperial court in Yunnan because I heard about it from He Guizhu, who was recently the seal master; I went to the Wu Mansion because I heard about it.
Said by a bare-butt friend who was a servant of the Prince-in-law's house when he was a child!" To Kangxi, he could neither address him as "Long live the Emperor," nor did he want to address him in a derogatory manner, so he gave him the name "Inside."
Yang Qilong sat back in his chair, opened the folding fan and looked at it, turned to Jiao Shan and asked Jiao Shan with a smile: "Brother Jiao, what do you think of these two things?"
"Two things are the same thing." Jiao Shan has a dark complexion and a serious smile. It is difficult to see his expression. When Yang Qilong asked him, he replied without hesitation, "The imperial court is afraid of using troops, but is not willing to show weakness. It wants to end the three parties peacefully."
Fan."
"I think Kangxi wanted to touch Wu Yingxiong's bottom, but he didn't feel at ease!" The speaker was "Ge Lao" Zhang Da. Although he was old, his voice was loud and crisp.
Yang Qilong blinked. What he was most worried about was the "peaceful settlement". There was no chaos, and Zhong Sanlang's millions of people were just a mob. What use could they be used for? After thinking for a while, he asked his military advisor Li Zhu with his eyes.
"What both of you said makes sense. Of course the imperial court is unwilling to raise an army casually, so it's not a bad idea to do a little testing." Li Zhu glanced at the crowd with a deep look, "The most important thing now is not to guess what they are thinking, but to guess what they are thinking.
It depends on what they are doing - Ji Zhidi might as well talk about the various situations, and everyone will understand after considering it."
Chen Jizhi was the "Governor-General" appointed by Prince Zhu San, and he collected all information from all sides. When Li Zhu named him, he cleared his throat and said, "The imperial court is currently training troops in Rehe, Liaodong, and Inner Mongolia. There are about three people in total."
150,000 yuan, which is very impressive. Not long ago, Ye Bilong inspected the military training in various places. He spent another 100,000 yuan to hire a Westerner, Zhang Cheng, to supervise the construction of red cannons. Kangxi even went to see this in person.
In Qinghai, the passage from Inner Mongolia to the Great Wall was blocked, and local officials were not allowed to levy horses. However, the court itself levied twice as many horses as in previous years. Mi Sihan worked even harder to collect grain, and this year it was about 30% more than in previous years.
...Wu Sangui's side is facing greater difficulties, but preparations for war are even more intense. Horses are being recruited from Tibet, and the number of troops has been increased by thirteen soldiers..." He was very familiar with the situation, and he finished half of the story.
Shi Shi gave a rough outline, and finally said, "These are letters sent by Xiang Hall masters from various places. I have seen them with my own eyes, so of course they are very reliable."
"The tip of the needle is against the wheat. This is the situation at hand." Li Zhu laughed after hearing this, "Geng Jingzhong asked to withdraw the vassal, which is correct; Shang Kexi asked to withdraw the vassal, which is correct; add a clause to allow Shang Zhixin to inherit the king's title, but it is not allowed;
Wu Sangui's memorial was full of complaints, but it was still accurate - this is his courage and courage. You can't help but admire this little Manchu Tatar! Wu Sangui also believed that he was a Han and had many soldiers and generals. In my humble opinion, this battle is settled.
"
After hearing this, Yang Qilong lowered his head and thought about it, then asked Zhu Shangxian next to him: "How is the situation in the palace?" Zhu Shangxian was very precise and only whispered a few words sideways. Xiao Maozi listened carefully, but did not hear a word, and was afraid
When everyone saw this, they had no choice but to pretend to be absent-minded and draw lines on the ground with their fingers. After a long time, they heard Yang Qilong nod his head and said: "As long as the people are enough, don't mess with them anymore. I always feel that Kangxi has noticed us." Xiao Mao.
Zi trembled when he heard it, and he drew a line on the ground.
"Wu Sangui is a weakling," Li Zhu said again when he saw that everyone was scheming. "If the court uses both kindness and power, soft and hard, Wu Sangui may soften. So we can't just wait, we want to create some trouble on Wu's behalf, and he won't
Even if you go to Liangshan, you have to force him to go up."
Jiao Shan nodded and said: "What the military advisor said makes sense. We can take care of Wu Yingxiong's concerns. In the palace, we may poison or make noise, and just say that it was people from Yunnan who did it. In this way, Wu Sangui will have diarrhea if he wants to."
It’s not possible.”
Wang Zhenbang's heart was beating wildly as he listened. He was very worried that such an assignment would fall on him. Just as he was about to find an excuse to avoid it, Xiao Maozi suddenly said loudly: "There is no way to do this kind of thing in the palace! You are not eunuchs, you can't do it."
He knew the power here: No, Wang Zhenbang and Huang Sicun are all here, who dares to do it? The people in front of the emperor are all smarter than ghosts! They want to make it mysterious again, saying that someone else did it - this is what happened
, don’t look for me, whoever doesn’t want to live will do it!”
"Uninvited guests have been listening to your discussion for a long time!" Someone outside the door laughed and said, "You actually want to frame me and my son! My father is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. He asked to withdraw from the feudal vassal. Who is forcing him to come? Our Wu family and the
I have no wrongs in my past life and no enmity in this life, and I have not dug up your ancestral graves. Why are you so vicious in your intentions?" With that said, the two people walked in proudly, one after the other. The first one took a few steps to the middle and pulled up a chair.
He crossed his legs and sat next to Yang Qilong, blowing on the coals, taking a deep breath of smoke, blowing out a puff of thick mist, and looking teasingly at the people in the hall.
No one was prepared for the fact that someone broke in at this moment, talking and laughing loudly, and no one knew how they broke into the heavily guarded Zhou family compound. When everyone looked up, it was Wu Yingxiong, who was short, fat and stocky like a dwarf. He was covered in blood.
They all looked shrewd and strong, not sloppy at all; looking behind Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong, Huangfu Baozhu stood upright with his sword in hand, looking at Yang Qilong fiercely, as majestic as a protector king. Everyone could not help but be shocked and stunned.
.
"Friends are just chatting about the court situation!" Zhou Quanbin is the owner of this house. Seeing the awkward and tense atmosphere, he hurriedly came to socialize: "My lord, why should I take it seriously - let's watch tea!"
"I'm just chatting." Wu Yingxiong took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "But first of all, I am a wild and independent person. I don't want others to do the work and worry for me, and I will never accept the pain for others -
—What a joke, am I so easily bullied?"
"Your Majesty's life is not easy." Chen Jizhi said with a gloomy face, "King Pingxi returns to Liaodong. If your Majesty can always fulfill his filial piety, he will be regarded as a virtuous ancestor of the Wu family. If King Pingxi resists the decree and does not withdraw from the vassal, he will be locked up with a rope.
In Beijing, if Zhengdang is imprisoned, a disaster is inevitable; if King Pingxi dares to rebel, the first person in the court will take the heads of his subordinates!"
"No way?" Wu Yingxiong laughed loudly, "The emperor came to my place today. Maybe after the vassal withdrawal, I can get an iron hat and crown to wear!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. Xiao Maozi's information did not mention this at all.
"Since it's so wonderful," Li Zhu suddenly laughed out loud, "but I don't know why the iron-hatted prince wanted to visit Wei Ye, and why he came here to discuss with me?"
Wu Yingxiong knew that this person was difficult to deal with. He leaned forward and leaned on the coffee table and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, who said what you said is unreasonable? You and I have many things to discuss. If King Pingxi rebels -
"
"Uncle Ping Xi!" Yang Qilong nodded arrogantly and corrected loudly, "Uncle Ping Xi can't stand up as a 'rebel soldier' on his own! He is my official of the Ming Dynasty, how can he want to establish a new dynasty on his own? If so, his end will be like what he did with Zhou Peigong today.
The endgame of the chess game is the same!"
Wu Yingxiong never expected that this group of people would report so quickly and accurately. He almost burned his hands with the coals he was blowing. He blew it out in one gulp. After calming down, he smiled and said: "Of course my father will not set up a new dynasty on his own, but the new dynasty will."
It's hard to say whether you are the leader of the court!" His crossed legs shook rapidly.
"I am the third prince of the Ming Dynasty. I have a jade certificate and a gold medal as proof." Yang Qilong moved uneasily and sneered, "Who dares to fight with me?"
Wu Yingxiong leaned back and said calmly: "I know all that. You are indeed - the Third Prince Zhu - and I never said that you can't be the leader of the new dynasty." After saying that, he smiled enigmatically.
"This is not a matter of controversy now." Yang Qilong looked a little unnatural and said hesitantly, "Everyone fighting for this dragon throne for the benefit of one family and oneself will be ruined. It's just that the people of the world are looking forward to the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, just like the hope of a severe drought.
Yun Ni, how dare we cherish our lives?"
"That's right." Wu Yingxiong said coldly, "My father wanted to borrow the Dragon Banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the 'third prince' wanted to borrow my father's strength, all in order to relieve the suffering of the people. To be fair, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world expelled it, who can
Do you know who will win? The most important thing today is to work together in the same boat, to advance hand in hand, and to achieve great things together. In the future, when all the ugly gangsters are gone, it will be easy to discuss whether the family will talk to each other behind closed doors."
"We are all in the same boat? What does it mean to be in the same boat but not in the same boat?" Zhang "Pavilion Elder" suddenly laughed and said, "The third prince has millions of people under his eyes, why need to borrow the strength of others? Dragon sons and dragons, phoenix young and phoenix grandsons, have their own
God bless others, Mr. Wu is just being sentimental, isn't he?"
"Huh?" Wu Yingxiong didn't expect this bad old man to jump out. He looked Zhang "Ge Lao" up and down from the side and said with a smile, "You are so good at dragon and phoenix. What is your background? Such a good voice, so familiar! -
- Is it a sedan bearer, or a wonton and shaomai seller? - Have you heard of an ancient poem? - Peach trees grow on the well, plum trees grow next to the peaches, insects come to eat the peach roots, and plum trees replace the peach branches - this is to help each other in the same boat! King Ping Xi
Because I have a tacit understanding with Mr. Yang, I have been specially ordered to come here with Huangfu Baozhu, the tiger-fighting general, to plan the big plan with you. It’s not like I can’t make rice dumplings without your broken lotus leaf! My father has millions of troops and a stronghold.
How difficult is it to find ten or eight third princes of Zhu across thousands of miles? There are countless people with the surname Zhu in the world. They can all be the third princes. Why do they have to be the 'Zhongshan wolf' who killed Mr. Dongguo?" Yan Bi laughed.
.
When the shoulder-length Wang Jiaoshan heard this, he leaned back on his chair with a livid face and said calmly: "Are you looking down on others? Are you bullying us? There is no one here? The one above is the noble man of Tianhuang, and the third prince has Tianxian in his mouth.
We have a jade certificate in hand, military advisor Li Zhugong is a wise man of the generation, Governor Chen Jizhi is brave and good at fighting, Shi Guobin is an expert in military affairs, and Zhang Ge is good at raising money - how can we have to rely on that unfaithful and unfilial bastard from Yunnan?"
After Wu Yingxiong heard this, he sneered and replied: "I, the king of Pingxi, sit in a large county with a large number of soldiers. I have been in the southwest for more than 20 years. Heaven and man have returned. The soldiers are well-prepared, with fierce generals like clouds, and advisers like rain. With one call,
With one breath, the mountains and rivers shook; with one sleep, the government and the public paid attention! Wu Shipan was extremely shrewd, Prime Minister Xia was proficient in strange sects, Liu Xuanchu was unpredictable, Wang Shirong and Zhang Liang were reincarnated! Baozhu, Benchen, and Ma Bao were all able to conquer battles.
You have the courage to lift mountains and carry cauldrons - how can you be like here: King Jiaoshan is a bully, the boss of the cabinet is confused, Zhu Shangxian is a strawbag general, Shi Guobin is a sycophant admiral, Chen Jizhi is a drunkard in a brothel - who has said that they have to rely on you?
Coming?"
He said so much in one breath, except for Yang Qilong and Li Zhu, everyone in the room was almost ruined. Everyone was furious. Xiao Maozi almost laughed out loud - he had always regarded Wu Yingxiong as "
"Stupid turtle", this stupid turtle can be so harmful to people, he was surprised to see everyone in a state of embarrassment, and found it funny - and he was afraid that people would see him, so he turned away. Wang Zhenbang had always had a heart disease, and when he saw the thunder and lightning on both sides, their swords were at war, his face turned pale
.
"Why act out of emotion?" Li Zhu giggled, stood up and bowed, "What Ying Xiong just said makes sense: now that we are all in trouble, we have to part ways, and that will be a matter of the future. Now we have to fight for this superiority.
The fisherman will gain. We still have to work together, work together, and be sincere, so that gold and stone can be opened!"
"Mr. Li understands justice well!" Wu Yingxiong bowed and said in return. He did not come here to quarrel today. As a "hostage", he could not fly back to Yunnan and had to rely on the protection of Prince Zhu's huge underground power. So he
They couldn't really fall out, but if they didn't give the other side some color, this group of people would not give in. Wu Yingxiong said a lot of words fiercely, and when Li Zhu gave him a step, he rolled over and changed his smile, and his tone was
Then he said: "To be honest, the prince and the third prince are surrounded by heroes. If you don't act like a mean prince, how dare Mr. Wu dare to hurt others with his words?"
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Yang Qilong waved his fan and leaned forward and asked, "Mr. Wu, what are your father's thoughts?"
"There is no letter yet." Wu Yingxiong said with a smile, "But don't worry, my father will never sit back and wait for death."
"In your opinion, what should we do now?"
"I agree with you in causing chaos. Framing is not the best policy." Wu Yingxiong's eyes flashed coldly, "It's impossible! We should step up secret contacts, gather north of the Yellow River, and disrupt the capital. The imperial court will have no time to look south, and my father can
Calmly prepare, the southern rebels join forces, the north and the south support each other, the princes gather in the Central Plains - huh?" He smiled and clasped his hands.
Li Zhu knew in his heart that Wu Yingxiong was most anxious to escape south, so he came up with such an idea. But thinking that this was everyone's own business, they had to do their own thing. Thinking about it, he blinked slyly,
Smiling: "Then - what should you do?"
"You have caused chaos. This is a major event to restore the Han Dynasty. Wu's life and death are not important!" Wu Yingxiong said with a smile. He thought of the power of Zhu Fuxiang and Liu Tiecheng in Baodugu, Shandong. As long as the capital is in chaos, they can sneak into it immediately.
Come to meet us.
Li Zhu sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Since we are working together and we are loyal people, how can we let the young master go into trouble alone? If you leave Beijing, it will be taken care of by us!"
"I'm afraid that you, the gentlemen, will not keep your word!" Wu Yingxiong also sneered in his heart.
This person is so honest in foreign affairs and so treacherous in his heart! Li Zhu's eyes jumped: He must not be allowed to return to Yunnan, he must be eliminated!
Yang Qilong suddenly burst into laughter and said, "People say that Cao Cao is suspicious, but I think you are no less suspicious than Cao Amo - whatever," he said, taking out a silver medal from his arms, solemnly handed it to Wu Yingxiong, and said, "This is what I know ten times."
One of the two-sided letter cards, I’ll give you one! If you take it, everyone in Zhong Sanlang’s congregation will protect you, and you have this invincible general who fights tigers with you, so you’re still worried that you won’t be able to escape safely?”
"Zhu Jun really has the bearing of a dragon!" Wu Yingxiong stood up with a laugh, took out a silver medal from his arms and gave it to Yang Qilong, saying, "I have already imitated it. Otherwise, how could I have broken into your secret room tonight? This fake one
You take it, and the twelve sides become thirteen, hahaha..." Then he turned to Baozhu and said, "How about it? Isn't it a worthwhile trip?" After that, he took Baozhu and walked away.
Yang Qilong watched them go out, put the fake silver medal on the table with a bang, sneered and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Send the order, all the cards will be invalidated and remade, and all contacts will be made in code for the time being." (Unfinished)
