Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

The third is to be able to paint with a wonderful brushwork, especially with hard work in line drawing, and Wu Daozi's paintings can be faked... If it wasn't for his outstanding writing, he could be corrupted after being admitted to a Jinshi, he would probably make money by making fake paintings way.

After catching Zhu Qipao, he drew a portrait of the third grandson Zhu who looked like a fierce god, and prepared to send it to Beijing for Emperor Kangxi to see the true face of the third grandson.

It's a pity that Zhu Qipao was rescued by the heavenly king Zhu and Da Boling at the Nanxi Bridge.However, Xue Zhang was also able to witness the dignity of "Prince Zhu and Da Boling" with his own eyes, and then he drew pictures for the two with his amazing memory-the originals of those picture pictures posted everywhere in Chaozhou Prefecture are Xue Zhang. Zhang painted it himself.

Now two of these three pictures were brought to the Forbidden City by Xue Zhang and placed in front of Emperor Kangxi.

"Why does this bald head look so much like Guan Erye?" Kangxi picked up Zhu Jushan's portrait and looked at it, his brows furrowed into a ball, "Is this really the third prince Zhu?"

"Returning to the emperor," Xue Zhang replied, "he should be the third prince Zhu... Before the identity of the third prince was revealed, the third prince Zhu had been wandering around the Chaozhou rivers and lakes, and he was still the king of Danan Mountain. Bandits are active in the vicinity of Danan Mountain. Many squad leaders in Chaozhou Prefecture know him, and the testimonials I brought this time show that Team Leader Lu also knows the Heavenly King Zhu."

The head of Ban Lu, that Lu Renyi, also came to Beijing this time, because he was very close to Zhu Hesheng, so he was a relatively reliable witness.

"Oh." Emperor Kangxi nodded, and didn't ask any more, "How does the squad leader know the bullshit of bandits?" Instead, he said to Suo'etu, "Gallu, go and see those two. The prince's old eunuch brought it."

"Hey." Ga Lu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, immediately responded with "Hey", and then left the South Study Room, and after a while, two elderly eunuchs came in.

It's not a big eunuch, but a small character who has been around for a lifetime without getting ahead.One was surnamed Li and the other was surnamed Wang. Both worked as servants in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and it is said that they served Zhu Cijiong.Both of these two have left the palace due to old age and frailty, and are living in the Ciyuan Temple run by Yang Qilong in the outer city.

After Xiong Cilu met Kangxi in person yesterday, Ga Lu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, found the two of them according to Emperor Kangxi's order.

The two old men had lost their legs and feet, so they came in with the help of two younger eunuchs, and then knelt down to Emperor Kangxi.Kangxi asked them to show the portraits of Zhu Jushan and Zhu Hesheng together, and asked them, "Can you two recognize who is Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong?"

The two old men narrowed their eyes, picked up the picture, recognized it seriously, and then shook their heads.

"If you go back to the emperor, the old servant will not recognize..."

"If you go back to the emperor, the person in these two pictures is not Zhu Cijiong."

Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly, "Not at all? Have you looked carefully?"

"Look carefully, Zhu Cijiong has no beard."

"Yeah, he's not bald either..."

Kangxi almost didn't amused these two old men. Zhu Cijiong was only twelve or thirteen years old when those two old men served Zhu Cijiong. How could he grow a beard?And it's impossible to shave your head!

"Do you remember Zhu Cijiong's appearance and characteristics?" Kangxi asked again, "Tell me about it. If you agree, you will be rewarded."

"Remember, when you go back to the emperor, this old slave remembers that Zhu Cijiong is Suoyan, Jianmei, Longzhun..."

"Yes, he still has a red face, looks very fierce, and is very big."

Kangxi looked at Xue Zhang again, the iron line is drawn in white, of course it is not colored, so Xue Zhang said whether it is red face.

Xue Zhang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the third prince Zhu really has a big red face and a very tall figure."

Kangxi nodded, and said in a low voice: "That's right, the third prince Zhu of Chaozhou Prefecture is real!" He paused, and then said to Suo'etu: "Suo'etu, go and send the news to Wu Yingxiong, the son-in-law of the Chaozhou government. Remember, speak well and don't scare him!"

Chapter 069 Wu Yingxiong, Your Society Is Dead!

Wu Yingxiong can't stand being scared now!

He was scared to death!

Wu Yingxiong originally thought that the third prince Zhu who suddenly appeared in Chaozhou was a Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, but he didn't expect that this guy turned out to be a life-threatening Yan Luo... No, it's not the fault of the third prince Zhu, it's the monk Yang Qilong who believes that the two have no loyalty It's the bastard's fault!

How could he forge a will of Emperor Chongzhen asking his father Wu Sangui to protect the Third Prince Zhu?

This is to force against his father Wu Sangui!

So when Wu Yingxiong heard about Chongzhen's edict from Shang Zhidian and Geng Xinghe, who were very well informed, he immediately gave up.The whole person fainted, and was finally carried back.When he lay down in Princess Jianning's fleshy and soft embrace, he felt a little sense of security and regained consciousness.Then I started crying to arrange my funeral for myself!

"Coffin, hurry up and buy a coffin. If you want nanmu, don't be reluctant to spend money. Money is useless."

"One mouthful is not enough, Shilin and Shifan have to sleep! I have to buy them too, and I want Nanmu!"

"Gege, our father and son are going to die, what can you do? Huh..."

Hearing his words, Princess Jianning, the two sons who returned Wu Yingxiong, and Wu Zhongqi, the butler of the Princess Mansion, didn't know how to comfort this Prince Pingxi's son who was lying on an equal footing.

But there is one last hope for these people - Wu Yingxiong's master and counselor Zuo Chunqiu Zuo Banxian... This Zuo Chunqiu was originally a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, a native of Tianjin Wei, who came when Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the pass cast.

This guy claimed to be very good at fortune-telling, and as soon as he cast himself under Wu Sangui's door, he did the calculations and calculated that Wu Sangui had the emperor's life, but he was almost cut off by Wu Sangui, who was devoted to the Tartar!It was Chen Yuanyuan who looked at him pitifully and said kind words to spare his life.

However, his habit of leaking secrets has not changed at all. Later, when he became a teacher with Wu Sangui, he would still meet people all day long... He did not show pictures to Wu Sangui's people, but only to Manchurians and good servants of Manchurians. And I still watch it secretly, and talk nonsense in private after watching it.

There is nothing good to say, either this one is short-lived, or that one cannot die well... Cursed Shunzhi, Dorgon, Duoduo, Azig, Nikan, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shen Zhixiang and others.

Later, Wu Sangui didn't dare to let him stay in Yunnan... This person is too dangerous!Let him go to Beijing to do the math for obnoxious ministers like Ao Bai and Su Ke Saha.

So this Zuo Chunqiu went to Beijing and became Wu Yingxiong's confidant.And this Zuo Banxian is also for Wu Yingxiong... He didn't say when he would die, but told him to find a way to escape, even if he had a narrow escape, he would have to escape from Beijing!

For this result, Wu Yingxiong was quite convinced.

But he still can't run away!

Surrounded by nets, where can he run?

But now when the bad news came, the Wu family also knew that they were doomed, so they could only see what good things the old Zuo Banxian, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, could say?

I saw Zuo Banxian counting his fingers intently there, and after counting for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I can't die for the time being!"

Impossible to die for a while... Really inspiring!

After all, in the long run, everyone is mortal!

"Can you run?" Wu Yingxiong thought of running at this moment.

"I can't run away anymore," Zuo Banxian shook his head, "If it doesn't happen, the prince can still succeed if he wants to run away... After all, there are so many people in the court who collect the money from the prince, and it is always convenient when it comes to trouble. But Who would dare to open this convenient door now?"

"Then I can't die for the time being... so what?" Wu Yingxiong asked with a trembling voice.

Zuo Chunqiu sighed, and said: "My lord has no resentment, and my lord is also loyal to the imperial court. Everything I did before was for self-protection. It's not that the emperor doesn't understand this truth... With the emperor's wisdom, at the moment The third prince Zhu of Chaozhou is getting bigger and bigger day by day, when Zheng Jing, Qiu Hui and his ilk are about to move, they will not kill the prince and force him to rebel against the prince.

The real danger is that there is no more trust between the emperor and the prince. In the future, the monarch and his ministers will only use each other without a trace of loyalty.

And between the prince, the prince, and other non-Western courtiers, there is no trace of fellowship, and they can't even be friends with wine and meat.They have a very good conscience to treat my Prince Pingxi Palace in a fair manner... I am afraid that from now on, no one in the court will dare to speak a word of justice for the prince and the prince. "

The current situation of Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong, the father and son, is called "social death" in the words of later generations!The old traitor Wu Sangui is better off. After all, he is in Yunnan, and he has a large group of cronies and elite soldiers around him, so the old traitor's "community death" is only half dead.But Wu Yingxiong was miserable. He was sitting under the knife of Emperor Kangxi in Beijing, and he would pay for it at any time!Originally, he had also made many rich and powerful friends, who might be able to give him a hand at critical moments.

It's all right now, the society is dead, and no one will speak for him anymore. If he doesn't step on his feet hard, he is already worthy of his conscience.

In this case, any news unfavorable to Wu Yingxiong will be magnified!And no one will mention anything that is beneficial to Wu Yingxiong!

If Emperor Kangxi wanted to kill Wu Yingxiong in a fever, I am afraid no one would come forward to stop him...

Just as Wu Yingxiong's heart was ashamed and tears were streaming down his face, one of his soldiers' leaders rushed in. After entering the door, he even forgot to give a thousand salutes, but said with red eyes: "Master, Suo Ertu Bringing the imperial guards to arrest you! Let the brothers protect you and the two young masters and kill them together!"

Wu Yingxiong cried when he heard this, "If you can't get out, Suo'etu has brought soldiers here. How many people are there in our mansion? If you can't get out..."

The leader of the soldiers patted his chest and said: "My son, don't be afraid, that Suo'etu only brought twenty yellow jackets to arrest you. There are two hundred warriors in our mansion, and they all followed the prince to kill from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood." from!"

"Only twenty yellow jackets?" Wu Yingxiong stopped crying immediately, "Are there any soldiers from the infantry office or patrolling the third battalion?"

"No, there are only twenty yellow jackets in total."

Hearing this, Wu Yingxiong felt a little relieved, and forced himself to sit up straight, "That's not to catch me... Hurry up, open the middle door to welcome guests!"

……

Just when Wu Yingxiong opened the middle door to welcome Suo'etu, the meeting in the South study was still going on.Of course, we are not discussing the issue of whether to kill Wu Yingxiong... This issue does not need to be discussed, and cannot be discussed, it must be dictated by the Sacred Heart!

Even though Emperor Kangxi is only 20 years old this year, his scheming and city management are not even comparable to many scheming courtiers.Moreover, he is particularly good at insight into people's hearts. He knew that once the "Chongzhen Legacy" came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would be too afraid to avoid Wu Sangui and his son. Father and son draw a clear line.

Discussing Wu Yingxiong's life and death with the courtiers and servants at this time is embarrassing the courtiers and servants, and making trouble for himself-everyone shouts to kill, what should he do as the emperor?Kill him, then Wu Sangui will turn against him immediately, who will fight?If you don't kill, you will appear weak and deceitful.

So Kangxi simply didn't mention this matter, killing or not, the Sacred Heart is dictatorial!

He also responded to the rumors of "Oboi's rebellion" in the same way. The two possible crises were temporarily resolved by him.

What Kangxi is discussing with the ministers now is whether or not to send the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to go south to Guangdong.

In fact, before Xiong Cilu, Xue Zhang, and Deng Zhong returned to Beijing day and night, this question was rushed to Beijing from six hundred miles.

However, the Qing court did not make a decision immediately, but temporarily shelved this issue.The reason, of course, is obvious... The myth of the Eight Banners' powerful army and the invincible heavenly soldiers must never be punctured!

Otherwise, not to mention Wu Sangui's rebellion, even Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, and even Sun Yanling, who married Kong Sizhen, may raise the flag of rebellion and fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the Qing court has always been very cautious about sending out "heavenly soldiers".

But now, the situation in Guangdong is very bad, and Mi Sihan, the imperial envoy, is also a poor minister. It will not work if this continues!

Chapter 070: Sai Zhang Fei goes to fight like Guan Gong!

"Mi Sihan's previous inscription said that the imperial court should send [-] bannermen and thousands of green battalions for him... I think about it, he is indeed a good imperial envoy. The army of the Pingnan Palace refused to listen. His, and Guangdong's green battalion generals are mostly self-contained, and it is indeed difficult to command. Most of the reasons for the previous defeat in Jieyang are due to this. If he can have tens of thousands of reliable soldiers on hand, then no matter what No matter what, we won’t lose Jieyang County.”

Kangxi talked eloquently, and the meaning behind what he said was obvious.

One is to excuse Mi Sihan - this Mi Sihan is Kangxi's confidant and very actively supports the withdrawal of the domain.He still worked hard to go south to Guangdong to suppress the third prince Zhu, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the third prince Zhu to control Chaozhou and drive the nails between Shang and Geng.

To be honest, this job is really hard to handle, and some setbacks are inevitable.But Kangxi knew Mi Sihan's loyalty and ability, so instead of punishing him at this time, he had to support him!

And he didn't let the people below guess wildly or take the blame, he just made his position clear!

Hearing what Emperor Kangxi said, those ministers and servants who originally planned to make trouble and read Mi Sihan's book immediately changed their minds and did not dare to bully Mi Sihan anymore.Not only did he dare not cheat Mi Sihan, but he also had to help him figure out a way.

University scholar Tuhai has the most methods, otherwise how can he be the chief university scholar?As soon as Kangxi's voice fell, he went out of class to play.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Third Prince Zhu is nothing more than a clown. There is no need to use the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers. Send some green camp soldiers who can fight from the north, and then send one or two generals who can fight. .”

Emperor Kangxi nodded, and what Tuhai said reached his heart.

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners cannot be dispatched casually. It is only natural for the Heavenly Soldiers to go out and win the battle, but what if they lose?

It's a small thing to be ashamed of, but it's absolutely impossible to lose the paper tiger that intimidates the world!

"Let's first transfer [-] Green Battalion soldiers from Zhili, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, etc., and let the imperial envoy Mi Sihan control it!"

Kangxi did not ask for any more opinions, but made a decision immediately.

However, Emperor Kangxi had a bit of trouble with the issue of leading troops... It seems that there are no good generals!

On the Manchu side, the old generals are really dying now. The old generals who followed the late emperor either had smallpox and died early, or were killed by Dorgon, Azig, and Aobai, or were implicated to death by them. up.Even those who have escaped smallpox and various factional disputes and survived until now, most of them are very old.

Of course, it’s not like there’s not even one guarantor... There’s also Prince Heshuo’an, Yue Le, who is very powerful. He fought Zhang Xianzhong with Hauge, and he also served as the general of Xuanwei to go to Dakar in the tenth year of Shunzhi. Kameng, and he is not old, he is only in his forties this year, and he is not yet 50 anyway.

But Emperor Kangxi can't use him yet!

The reason is very simple, that is, when Shunzhi was about to "die", he didn't know which muscle was wrong, but he thought that Xuanye, who was only eight years old, looked stupid and didn't look like a wise gentleman, so he wanted Yue Le Be emperor!

Although this matter is gone after talking, after Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, Yue Le could only sit idle.

It's not that it must not be used, but it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Now there is only the Third Prince Zhu who is entrenched in the four counties of Chaozhou, and it is not Wu Sangui's rebellion, so there is no need for Yue Le to come out of the mountain.

Moreover, it is impossible for Yue Le to come out of the mountain to help Mi Sihan, but he has to replace Mi Sihan to take charge of the military affairs of Guangdong and Fujian.

"A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find," said Emperor Kangxi, "I don't know who can help Mi Sihan lead the five thousand green battalions?"

"Your Majesty," it was Tu Hai, a scholar who made the suggestion, "I recommend Sun Sike, the general soldier of Gansu."

Sun Sike is a servant of Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, and his father is the famous traitor Sun Degong!

Guangning City was sold by his father. Among the slaves of the Han army in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his father, grandson Degong and Li Yongfang were the highest slaves.But now both of them are gone, so Sun Sike is now one of the top slaves of the Qing Han army, basically the same generation as I Da Gongshang Zhixin.

Moreover, Shang Zhixin's slaves were forcibly brought up by Emperor Shunzhi, and this Sun Sike is the real elder among the slaves—his father is a good slave of Nurhachi, and he is a slave of Huang Taiji!

In addition, Sun Sike, the elder among the slaves, is also a capable slave!In the early years, he followed Hong Chengchou to attack Yunnan and Guizhou, and made many military exploits.In the second year of Kangxi, after he was sent to Gansu, which was suffering a lot, to be the general soldier, he didn't complain about suffering or tiredness. Instead, he was diligent and conscientious as a slave, and he took the lead in fighting.It's time for him to improve!

That's why Tu Hai recommended Sun Sike to go to Guangdong... With his slaves and achievements, going to Guangdong is no longer a lieutenant general or a general soldier, but should be an admiral of Guangdong, even the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!

But Emperor Kangxi shook his head, "It's not the right time... for the troubles in Guangdong, we have to point to Shang Kexi and Pingnan Palace. Sun Sike is a general of our banner people, so he couldn't be sent out so early.

For Mi Sihan's assistant sent by the imperial court, a lieutenant general is enough.Do you have any suitable candidates?If you have one, you can recommend it to me. If the recommendation is not good, I don't blame you. "

"Your Majesty, this servant recommends someone who will definitely be able to restrain that Third Prince Zhu who looks like Guan Gong!"

As soon as Emperor Kangxi's words fell, he saw the scholar of the Wenhua Palace stand up against Kana and the old man.

When Dian Kana walked into the South Study Room today, the old heart was hanging - it was all caused by Heshen!

Because his old man is also Niu Gulu's family!Although he can't remember who is He Shen in the clan, but he can't remember it doesn't mean there is no one!But don't look back, this He Shen is quite close to him, this is going to be miserable!

But fortunately, Emperor Kangxi didn't mention this Heshen, and even granted the world titles to Obai and Murima, it seems that he will not continue to pursue it.

But I'm still worried about the old man, for fear of falling out of favor!I am used to being a high official, how can I be willing to go home and eat old rice?So he took the opportunity of recommending talents to test Emperor Kangxi's attitude.

"For Kana, who do you want to recommend?" Kangxi spoke softly, as if he had no intention of blaming Kana.

"Your Majesty, this servant wants to recommend Wu Sanwei, a general of the Ganzhou Defending Battalion, to go south to help Mi Sihan."

"Wu Sanwei?" Emperor Kangxi had already thought of this person.
