Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

When Zheng Jing heard that it was these two people who came to see him, he looked disgusted, "It's them again..."

Chen Yonghua also knew the purpose of the two people's visit, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask your servants to lead them to Chaozhou."

Zheng Jing also thought it was good when he heard it, "Okay... take them to Chaozhou. If Tianwang Zhu is put on the position of supervisor of the country, let them go to negotiate with Tianwang Zhu."

Chapter 038

In September of the tenth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the ancient city of Mianhu Village in the west of Jieyang County was already a military city.

Located on the south bank of the Rongjiang River, this city was built in the second year of Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been an important town in Jiexi since the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.When the wheel of history rolled to the early years of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, because the sea transportation was cut off due to the coastal relocation, the Mianhu Village, which happened to guard the mountain pass between the Nanxi Waterway and Danan Mountain and Guiren Mountain, became a village from Huizhou. It is an important town in and out of Chaozhou Prefecture from the direction of Chaozhou Prefecture, which is almost the west gate of Chaozhou Prefecture.

Shang Zhixin, who sent troops from the Guangzhou government to suppress the Third Prince Zhu, and his [-] banner soldiers, [-] banner slaves, and [-] green battalion soldiers are now stationed in Mianhu Town, which immediately makes this bustling and lively west gate of Chaozhou become Chickens fly and dogs jump.

Daoist Wang Deping of Chaojiahui Road, Chaozhou prefect Xue Zhang, and Jieyang county magistrate Fengmingshan all gathered in Mianhu village to supply the five thousand veteran soldiers of the Pingnan Palace.

This group of veteran soldiers from the Guangzhou government said they were here to suppress the third prince Zhu, but they chose not to fight against the capital of Guiyu, but went to Dananshan to copy the third prince Zhu's old lair.

This vast Danan Mountain is more than a hundred miles from north to south and tens of miles from east to west. It is still densely forested and sparsely populated.Without a guide, you will get lost once you enter the mountain.And no one in the Chaozhou government knows where Tianwangzhai is?

So people like Wang Deping, Xue Zhang, and Fengmingshan advised Shang Zhixin not to enter the mountain blindly.

Ke Shangzhixin ignored it at all, and headed to Danan Mountain with 5000 people swaggeringly six days ago.

Wang Deping, Xue Zhang, and Feng Mingshan thought that Shang Zhixin would suffer in the mountains this time, but to their surprise, Shang Zhixin returned triumphantly with his army three days ago... Their looks, all of them are green and clear, they don't look like they have suffered in the mountains at all.

However, Shang Zhixin declared that the battle was a complete victory, broke through the Tianwangzhai, killed [-] enemies, and captured the third prince Zhu's waist card, gold seal, python robe, jade certificate and Emperor Chongzhen's imperial pen secret decree!

That is to say, Shang Zhixin got the ironclad evidence that Zhu Jushan is Zhu's third prince in one trip!

But this time he went back and forth and hacked people and took things, and it was over in three days?

Is this too fast?

Although the flag soldiers of Pingnan Palace are all "Heavenly Soldiers", they are not that powerful!

But in today's Guangdong, no one dares to question Shang Zhixin... that is Emperor Kangxi's "Uncle Shang"!Question him for deceit, be careful to move your head!

Besides, Wang Deping, Xue Zhang, and Feng Mingshan also hoped that there would be some solid evidence to confirm Zhu Jushan's identity as the third prince Zhu.

Because they had received news that the emperor had sent two imperial envoys to Guangdong to handle the case of the third prince Zhu.

If the Third Prince Zhu is found to be a fake, then maybe Wang Deping, Xue Zhang, Fengmingshan, and Deng Guangming, the warlord who surrounded the capital of Guiyu, should be investigated next.

So few of them will not expose Shang Zhixin's fake play during the encirclement and suppression of Dananshan, not only will not expose it, but also try their best to help Shang Zhixin to promote it!

So now most of Chaozhou know that Shang Zhixin copied the third prince Zhu's lair in Dananshan... Except for the rebels and their families living in Tianwangzhai, they don't know anything, and they have never seen Shang Zhixin's army.

However, the little Holy Master Kangxi, who was far away in Beijing, could not see these Dananshan bandits. He could only learn the truth about the third prince of Chaozhou through two imperial envoys and a third-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court.

And Yang Qilong, who was in charge of providing the most authentic truth to Emperor Kangxi, has now brought Wu Yingxiong's personal letter to Shang Zhixin's Chinese army - a mansion located in Mianhu village.

This Yang Qilong was still dressed as a well-educated eminent monk, in a hall where there were no idlers, he asked Shang Zhixin for the "truth" while drinking tea.

"My Lord, the poor monk heard that you got the waist plate, gold seal, python robe, jade certificate and Emperor Chongzhen's imperial pen secret decree in Danan Mountain? Can the poor monk hold an eye for you?"

Yang Qilong, a great monk, has been in the upper echelons of Beijing all year round, and his method of making friends with dignitaries, besides Buddhism, is to play with calligraphy and painting.

It is now the tenth year of Kangxi. Although Guangdong and Fujian are still quite chaotic, the city of Beijing has long been peaceful.

Antiques in Taiping!

This group of big men under the flag in Beijing doesn't fight much now, and there are more and more ways to make money, so naturally they have a habit of spending money all the time.

However, this group of people has not degenerated to the point of smoking opium, otherwise the San Francisco Rebellion in history would have turned into the San Francisco Revolution.

The current interest of their group of uncles is to make their own house more decent, and to give their children and grandchildren some more literature, calligraphy and painting - otherwise, what will happen to those prodigal sons in the future?

And if you buy calligraphy, painting and writing, of course you have to find someone to read it... Yang Qilong often helps this group of rich and powerful masters read it, and he is quite accurate, and his reputation is quite good.

"Okay!" Shang Zhixin nodded with a smile, and then greeted his confidantes, "Come here, go and bring the waist plate, gold seal, boa robe, jade certificate, and Emperor Chongzhen's imperial pen secret decree to Master Long." Eye!"

"Whoo!"

A guard of Pingnan Prince's Mansion responded with "嗻", then turned around and left immediately, holding a large plate of "truth" and placed it on the tea table between Shang Zhixin and Yang Qilong in a short while.

It has to be said that Shang Zhixin put his mind to it, and the "truth" produced is much more than the "truth" produced by Yu Erye in Haimen Port.

Among them, the waist badge, gold seal, and python robe are all so fake!

However, there are still some problems with the jade document and Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict. If it is really brought to Beijing and given to Emperor Kangxi's experts, it will definitely be seen through.

Fortunately, Yang Qilong came south with the "truth"... The "truth" he and Wu Yingxiong got in Beijing was much more real than what Shang Zhixin got in Guangzhou!

"I Dagong, please take a look at this first!" As he spoke, Yang Qilong carefully took out a hard-skinned gold-covered and bright-yellow satin folder from his arms, held it in both hands, put it on the table, and tapped it with his hands. Then push it to Shang Zhixin.

"Jade document?" Shang Zhixin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked it up with both hands and examined it carefully, only to see that it read: Zhu Cijiong, birth mother, Queen Zhou, when Renzixu was born in March of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Liu Wang, the stable wife of Chuxiu Palace, Deacons and eunuchs Li Zengyun and Guo An were present.Jiaodong Factory, Jinyiwei and Queen each keep a copy and file according to the regulations.

"This is..." Shang Zhixin looked at Yang Qilong.

Yang Qilong smiled and said: "It's true! It flowed out from the East Factory at the time of the Ming Dynasty's fall... The Jinyiwei's archive was handed over to the Thirteenth Yamen by Luo Yangxing (the commander of the Jinyiwei)."

"Thank you, thank you!" Shang Zhixin immediately stood up and cupped his fists to thank him.

Because the jade document he prepared might be no problem in deceiving people in Guangdong, but if you take it to Beijing and compare it with the real one, it will be embarrassing.

"I Dagong, the secret decree you prepared is not acceptable." Yang Qilong had already taken out a scroll wrapped in yellow cloth at this time, and handed it to Shang Zhixin with both hands, "Look at this... this is true enough, it's like a fake! "

Shang Zhixin took the scroll, unfolded it, and suddenly his color changed drastically, and he stuttered: "This, this, this... is this true?"

Yang Qilong smiled and said: "If it's not true, can I still forge a copy myself?"

Shang Zhixin continued to stammer, "Is it going to be messed up if I hand it over? Does Wu Yingxiong know?"

Yang Qilong smiled brighter, and asked Shang Zhidao: "I Da Gong, where do you think I got this Chongzhen imperial edict?"

"Cocoa... But why did Wu Yingxiong take it out?" Shang Zhixin asked, "Isn't he afraid that the Long Live Lord will suspect his family?"

Yang Qilong laughed loudly: "Isn't the Lord Long Live jealous of King Pingxi enough now? It's not certain that he will really tear his face in the future! If this Chongzhen edict can be passed on through the hands of the Qing court, then King Pingxi will have righteousness if he wants to turn against him." Fame!"

Shang Zhixin muttered to himself: "It turns out that King Ping and Pingxi really want to rebel!"

Yang Qilong looked at Shang Zhidao: "My father, when the day comes, which side are you going to stand on?"

Chapter 039 Third Prince Zhu, Wu Sangui is coming to assist you!

The imperial envoy Mi Sihan, Xiong Cilu, and the third-class bodyguard Deng Zhong and his party took the imperial decree of Emperor Kangxi to come to Guangdong to handle the case of the third prince Zhu, and naturally they did not dare to delay for a day.They took their servants with them and traveled night and day. It took less than a month to complete the long journey of thousands of miles. In late September of the tenth year of Kangxi, they arrived in Guangzhou, which is as warm as summer.

Mi Sihan, who was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was one of the leaders of the treacherous officials in the court who advocated the abolition of the San Francisco. Naturally, he would not get close to Shang Kexi, one of the San Francisco kings.However, his family and Duke Xushun's mansion are family friends. When the old Duke Xushun wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and return to the Qing Dynasty, it was Misihan's Ama Hashtun who ventured to Shicheng Island to appease Shen Zhixiang.

Later, Shen Zhixiang became Duke Xushun, entered the customs from Longlong, and gained great wealth. When he drank water, he thought of the source, so he was naturally grateful to Hashtun, so the two families became family friends.The reason why Emperor Kangxi sent Mi Sihan to Guangdong as an imperial envoy was not only to admire his views on advocating the reduction of feudal vassals, but also to take a fancy to his family and the family friends of Duke Xushun.

Although Duke Xushun's mansion also guards one side, it is not among the San Francisco.The Chaozhou Prefecture guarded is between the domains of King Pingnan and King Jingnan.If you can firmly stand on the side of the court, you can effectively cut off the contact between Shang and Geng.

If we can go one step further... For example, mobilize thousands of green battalion soldiers loyal to the imperial court into Chaozhou Prefecture, and use them to replace the unreliable Liu Jinzhong's troops.Then Chaozhou's flag soldiers and green battalion soldiers will pose a threat to the Shang and Geng feudal lords.Maybe with the cooperation of other heavenly soldiers loyal to the imperial court, they can force the Shang and Geng feudal lords to submit, so the big plan to abolish the San Feudal clan will basically come to fruition.

So Mi Sihan, the imperial envoy who came back to Guangdong to handle the case of the third prince Zhu, was actually a clever move by Kangxi to control Shang and Geng.

Of course, Emperor Kangxi would not tell Mi Sihan and Xiong Cilu clearly how to control Shang Geng's two vassals.

This matter has to be experienced by the two of them... If you can't understand it, then you are two idiots, don't think about going any further in the future, just sit on the bench honestly!

Mi Sihan and Xiong Cilu are both smart people, so they traveled day and night without Kangxi's reminder, and the journey of more than 4000 miles was completed in just 20 days.All the way was light and easy, and even the guard of honor of the imperial envoys were left far behind by them.With only a hundred or so knights, they entered the Guangzhou mansion in a busy manner.

Jin Guangzu, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Yan Ziming, Admiral of Guangdong, both rushed to Guangzhou Mansion from their respective residences to meet the imperial envoy when they learned of the arrival of the imperial envoy.Mrs. Shang Shuying of Xushun Duke's Mansion also led Young Lord Shen Rui to the Guangzhou Mansion ahead of the two imperial envoys under the protection of Zhang Mengji, another vice-captain of the Duke Mansion.

As for the governor of Guangdong, Liu Bingquan, after receiving the notification from the Shaozhou government, he personally ran to Yingde to greet them, and welcomed the two imperial envoys into the city of Guangzhou.

There is also a group of general soldiers and Taoists from Guangdong, as long as they are not caught up in military affairs, they all come to Guangzhou.

After staying in the governor's yamen in Guangzhou for one night, on the eighth day of September, the two imperial envoys, Mi Sihan and Xiong Cilu, were guided by Liu Bingquan and went straight to Pingnan Wangfu.

King Pingnan Shang Kexi's bones are the softest among the kings of the three feudal vassals, and he did not dare to show the vassal king's profile in front of the two imperial envoys. He not only opened the door of the palace to greet him, but also brought dozens of sons out of the palace in person. Grandly welcome the imperial envoy.

Mi Sihan, Xiong Cilu and the others did not come to deliver an edict to King Pingnan Shang Kexi, but came here specifically to deal with the case of the third prince Zhu.

So there was no ceremony to receive the decree. After the monk Kexi exchanged a few words of politeness, the two of them were dragged into the Jiujian Hall, the main hall of the palace, by Shang Kexi.

After the two imperial envoys were seated and the tea was served, Shang Kexi smiled and said, "Thanks to the two envoys, Gouzi just led the army to raid the old lair of the third prince Zhu in Dananshan, and he also copied it to prove that the third prince Zhu Identity badges, gold seals, boa robes, jade documents, and the secret decree of Emperor Chongzhen's imperial pen."

"What? I copied the waist card, gold seal, python robe, jade document and Emperor Chongzhen's imperial pen?" Mi Sihan looked surprised, "Have you checked it?"

"Not yet," Shang Kexi said with a smile, "The old man has already sent someone to Chaozhou to call Gouzi Zhixin and send someone to bring those things quickly... It was delayed for some reason, and it hasn't been delivered until today."

Xiong Cilu smiled and said, "No rush, no rush... By the way, is the Third Prince Zhu still in the capital of Guiyu?"

"It's still there," Shang Kexi frowned, "but the capital of Guiyu is very difficult to attack. Deng Guangming and Liu Jinzhong mobilized more than 2000 people. It has been a month since they fought, and it is still difficult to conquer."

He is not telling the truth now, because although Guiyu Capital has been surrounded for more than a month, the "fight" has only been fought once.It was the time when Deng Guangming hollowed out the city plan, and after that he besieged but did not attack.The two sides occasionally engaged in diplomacy on the moat of the capital of Guiyu... the results of the fight were without exception, and it was the Qing army who suffered!

Shang Kexi also urged his son Shang Zhixin to help, but Shang Zhixin was determined to support the bandits and ignored his father's orders at all.

At the same time, Shang Kexi also received a secret report from outside the world that the third grandson of Zhu was engaged to Dahao Qiuhui's daughter!

Obviously, Qiu Hui is about to send troops to Guiyu!

Deng Guangming and Liu Jinzhong's 2000 men can't deal with Qiu Hui's army... So Shang Kexi is really looking forward to it day and night, hoping that the two imperial envoys, Mi Sihan and Xiong Cilu, will quickly come to preside over the overall situation.

Lest Shang Zhixin continue to raise Kou to raise and fatten up the third prince Zhu!

Shang Kexi was about to talk to the two imperial envoys about the suppression of bandits, when one of his nephews, Shang Zhibao, suddenly rushed into the Jiujian Hall, shouting as he ran, "Your Highness, Your Highness, your son is back!"

It's better to come early than coincidentally!Shang Kexi thought to himself: "This kid didn't step on the spot, did he?"

"Quickly, let him come in to meet the imperial envoy."

"Whoo!"

Shang Zhibao responded and turned away, leading Shang Zhixin and Xue Zhang, the prefect of Chaozhou Prefecture, in a hurry.Neither of them was empty-handed, and each took a plate.Inside the plate held by Shang Zhixin was a gold seal, a booklet and a scroll, while on the plate held by Xue Zhang was a python robe and a token.

"I Da Gong," Shang Kexi looked at his son and Xue Zhang each holding a plate, not knowing what was going on, so he asked, "What are you and Xue Zhang holding?"

"Ama," Shang Zhixin said with a smile, "that's the ironclad evidence that my son copied from the thief's lair in Danan Mountain...it can prove that the Heavenly King Zhu is the Third Prince Zhu!"

"Iron evidence?" Monk Mi Sihan was very familiar with the letter, and asked with a smile, "My father, what exactly did you seize in Dananshan?"

Shang Zhixin put the plate he was holding on the table in front of Shang Kexi, and then took Xue Zhang's plate and put it also.At the same time, he turned his eyes and took in all the people crowded in the nine halls today—very good!Those who should have come, those who should not have come, a lot of them have all come!

He picked up the python robe with a smile, unfolded it and placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the python robe of the third prince Zhu."

Then he picked up the badge and handed it to Mi Sihan himself, "Look at this... the badge!"

Mi Sihan took it over, "Oh, let me see, it looks real!"

Shang Zhixin then picked up the jade document and gave it to Xiong Cilu, "Xiong Hanlin, you are very knowledgeable, can you see if this jade document is real?"

Before Xiong Cilu left Beijing, he had already seen the jade certificate of the Third Prince Zhu in the Qing Palace. Now that he unfolded the jade certificate delivered by Shang Zhixin, he immediately beamed with joy, "It's true! The jade documents are in triplicate, and Zhu Cijiong's other jade document is hidden in the palace, and the content on it is exactly the same as this one!"

"And this!" Shang Zhixin picked up the scroll, and mysteriously unfolded a section for Xiong Cilu to read, "You palm the eye, whose handwriting is this?"

"This is... Chongzhen's handwriting!" Of course, Xiong Cilu had seen many of Chongzhen's imperial pens before leaving Beijing!Now at first glance, I feel that the handwriting on the imperial decree produced by Shang Zhixin is very similar to the Chongzhen Imperial Brush.

Of course, to be absolutely sure, you have to compare it with other Chongzhen imperial brushes.

Xiong Cilu then asked casually: "I Dagong, is this the imperial edict given to Zhu Cijiong by Emperor Chongzhen?"

"No, it's not for Zhu Cijiong." Shang Zhixin shook his head, then seemed hesitant to speak.

"Who is that for?" Shang Kexi asked again.

"Responding to Ama's words," Shang Zhixin raised his voice on purpose, "This was written by Emperor Chongzhen to Wu Sangui, the Great Ming Ping Xibo and Liaodong General Soldier before the city of Beijing was destroyed!"

"what?"

"For Wu Sangui?"

"How could it be in the hands of Third Prince Zhu?"

Shang Kexi, Mi Sihan, and Xiong Cilu all felt that something was wrong.

Of course, Shang Zhixin would not give them time to react, and then said loudly: "Emperor Chongzhen told King Pingxi in his edict that he had asked his minister Pang Yongzhong to protect the third son of the emperor, Ding Wang Cijiong, to break out of the capital. If the capital finally fails to guard, the prince will also die. Once the country is established, then King Pingxi will assist King Ding Cijiong to clean up the country and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty!"

Chapter 040 Wu Sangui, You Are Right to Rebel!

Guangzhou, Pingnan Palace, Nine Halls, was dead silent!

Shang Zhixin has finished reciting aloud the imperial decree issued by Emperor Chongzhen to Wu Sangui!

In the huge nine-room hall, everyone has heard it verbatim, and they all know that the Pingxi King Wu Sangui on Wuhua Mountain in Kunming, Yunnan, who has long been suspected by Kangxi's young master and is almost out of control, has already raised his troops. Anti-Qing righteous name!

Emperor Chongzhen's imperial decree had agreed that he should assist Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Zhu, to become emperor to revive Daming.Then as long as he did so, he would be able to clear up his sins of defecting to the Qing Dynasty, leading troops into the pass...even exterminating Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of taking refuge in the Qing Dynasty and leading troops into the pass was to destroy Li Chuang.
