When the troops of Wu Sangui clan were singing and marching struttingly on the street outside Zhengyangmen Street, in the Zhushikou area of Zhengyangmen Street, on the second floor of a two-story teahouse with a signboard of "Yangsan Teahouse", In a private room next to the street outside Zhengyangmen, there were three well-dressed men, two tall and one short.
The short man among them had an unattractive appearance, with a slightly bloated body, thin eyebrows, big eyes, and thick lips. At first glance, he looked very honest and honest. He didn't know what sad and sad things had happened to him, but he was crying there. tears.
The two tall middle-aged men seemed to be his friends. When they saw him crying, they were there to give him good advice.
One of them, a man in his thirties with a sullen look and a fierce look on his face, shouted: "Brother Wu, don't cry. A real man should not shed tears easily! Even if your Ama really wants to rebel, there is no need to cry." Ah! Look at your Ama's warriors, how elite they are, maybe they will become..."
Another tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the side quickly interrupted: "My father-in-law, please don't scare Uncle Wu. King Pingxi is just demonstrating to the court now, and his purpose is just to get more money. How can he rebel?" If King Pingxi really rebels, he will not let Wu Guogui come to Beijing with such a big fanfare. By then, King Pingxi will definitely be submissive on the surface and secretly send people to take Uncle Wu back to Yunnan to do great things together."
"My loyal nephew, please stop talking nonsense. What great things can I do?" The fat man said with a sad face, "If my mother really, really rebels, I will not run to Yunnan... I am a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"
The two tall men shook their heads together, expressing disbelief.
"How can you not run? If you don't run, you will be beheaded!" The man with a scornful look said, "I will kill not only you, but also your wife and children!"
The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes nodded repeatedly: "You just... you have to run. If you don't run, your whole family will be killed! Uncle Wu, let me tell you, the owner of this teahouse, Yang San, is a well-connected person. He But a leader of the Zhili Luo Jiao secretly presides over some kind of Sanlang Incense Meeting. He has many disciples among the canal canal workers, and he also has disciples here in the outer city of Beijing. You give him one or two thousand taels, and then allow him to have a good time. If you are rich, he will have a way to get you out of Beijing, and then send you all the way to the south of the Yangtze River along the canal. As long as you get to the south of the Yangtze River, the sky is as high as birds can fly, and the sea is as wide as fish can leap!"
The fat man burst into tears and just shook his head: "My dear, loyal and wise nephew, please stop talking. The more you talk about it, the more scared I get! Moreover, my wife is Heshuogege, and she is the daughter of Emperor Taizong. Why are you willing to run away?" How can you run away?"
Listening to the conversation between the three people, you can tell that the three of them are not good people. Among them, the short and fat man was Wu Yingxiong, the eldest son of Pingxi King Wu Sangui. He married Huang Taiji's daughter and Shunzhi's sister as his wife, the Heshuo Jianning Princess. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of Emperor Kangxi.
The tall man with stern eyebrows and small eyes was Shang Kexi's eldest son Shang Zhixin - he was very familiar with Emperor Shunzhi, and was granted the title of An Dagong by Emperor Shunzhi, which means "good brother"! When it comes to seniority, Emperor Kangxi should have called him "Uncle Shang".
And that young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is of course Geng Jingzhong. He is the grandson of Geng Zhongming, the first king of Jingnan. He is one generation lower than Wu Yingxiong and Shang Zhixin, so he calls Wu Yingxiong Uncle Wu, but Guan Shangzhixin is also called "An Da Gong". This "An Da Gong" was personally conferred by Shunzhi, and the bannermen and coatmen in Beijing all called Hu Shang Zhixin this way.
These three are all being held hostage in Beijing, and they can be regarded as the same degenerate people from the end of the world. They have been together for so many years, and it is difficult to have a bad relationship. However, their identities were sensitive after all and it was not convenient to meet in public, so they often put on casual clothes and slipped out of the mansion and went to Yang San Tea House in Zhushikou to drink tea and chat.
The owner of Yang San Tea House is a "big gangster" who can handle both black and white. It is said that his ancestor was a big boss in Jinyiwei. Many Han people who eat Gongmen in the Zhili Capital area are from his family. .
In addition, this Yang San also has business dealings with many Eight Banners dignitaries in the inner city of Beijing and the big bosses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - these dignitaries and big bosses have a lot of spare money on their hands to use for loan sharking. But they will not come forward themselves, they will only contribute some capital and act as a protective umbrella behind the scenes. And the one who was put in the foreground was a gangster like Yang San.
Wu Yingxiong, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong and this Yang San were even more familiar with each other. When they arrived at his place, the "ears" sent out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs' sticky pole were deafened and they could say whatever they wanted!
If there is any emergency, it is possible to take Yang San's route and escape with his life.
But it was only possible, and Wu Yingxiong was from a large family. His wife, Princess Jianning, was Kangxi's aunt, and the house was full of spies sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If he wanted to run alone, he might have a little chance of success. But wanting to run away with your family is basically just a dream.
Seeing Wu Yingxiong crying so sadly, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong couldn't bear to persuade him to run away. Shang Zhixin sighed: "It's a pity that the late emperor is no longer here, otherwise why would this happen? After all, the late emperor was good to our four vassals!"
When Geng Jingzhong heard Shang Zhixin mentioning the "Four Domains", his eyes suddenly lit up: "How could I forget that my aunt Zhen has arrived in Beijing a few days ago, and she is the goddaughter of the Empress Dowager. Uncle Wu, why don't you go and ask for help?" Please ask Aunt Zhen to say something nice in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor... Always let the Empress Dowager and the Emperor know that you and your Amma are different, and that you are loyal to the Qing Dynasty."
Wu Yingxiong seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Sister Zhen must know that I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty. I am absolutely loyal to the Qing Dynasty!"
Shang Zhixin also nodded and said: "Actually, the Empress Dowager has always known how loyal you are, Brother Wu... If you can attack King Pingxi, then the world will be at peace."
"Shall I defeat the King of the West?" Wu Yingxiong smiled bitterly, "I hope this will happen one day!"
Geng Jingzhong said: "It will definitely happen. Your Ama is almost sixty, how long can you still dance?"
"Jingzhong, what are you talking about? I am a filial son!"
Geng Jingzhong spread his hands: "Isn't it difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety? Uncle, do you want to be a loyal minister or a filial son?"
"I, I, I'd better be a loyal minister!"
...
"Uncle Wu, let's break up here. My nephew lives in Beuzhaocai Hutong on the east side of the inner city. You have to go through Chongwenmen to enter the inner city. Princess Jianning's residence is in Shihu Hutong on the west side of the inner city. You have to go through Xuanwumen Entering the inner city... let's go separately outside Zhengyang Gate. We'll wait until my nephew has settled down before going to see Princess Jianning at her residence."
The street outside Zhengyangmen in the outer city of Beijing is not that long. Wang Zhongxiao rode a big horse and sang songs, and after a while he arrived outside the Zhengyangmen Archery Tower. Once here, he could no longer move forward in a majestic manner. Because after entering Zhengyang Gate, you will arrive at Daqing Gate, the main gate of the imperial city! If you, the more than a hundred knights of the Pingxi clan, carry big guns and bows and knives, and drive directly outside the Qing gate... what do you want to do? Who is it that shocked Kangxi's little pockmark? So this group of people had to put their tail between their legs and turn into the city.
And Wang Zhongxiao did not intend to follow Wu Guogui to Shihu Hutong to meet Wu Yingxiong. He came to Beijing to help Kangxi defeat Obei and become the final minister of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he had to keep a distance from Wu Yingxiong. Before he got his wish, it was best not to meet Wu Yingxiong, so he proposed to enter the city separately with Wu Guogui.
Wu Guogui got along well with Wang Zhongxiao along the way. This boy was very sweet-tongued, could talk, sing, and make people laugh. He was also good at martial arts, and they could go hunting together to improve their food. So at this moment, I didn’t expect that Wang Zhongxiao would soon turn his back on Wu, and he waved his hand cheerfully and said: “Go, go, come to Shihu Hutong when you have settled down, and let’s get together again!”
"Okay," Wang Zhongxiao smiled and hugged Wu Guogui, "Uncle, I'll say goodbye to my nephew here!"
After saying that, Wang Zhongxiao said goodbye to Military Advisor Liu Xuanchu and Liu Da, and waved to his companions: "Master Yu, Wang Mazi, Wang Dapao, Xiao Lizi, Xiao Anzi, and Xiao Quanzi, let's go home! "
