"Really?" Fuquan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Wang Zhongxiao's words, "Shikai, tell me quickly, where has that old thief Ao Bai gone?"
Wang Zhongxiao did not answer immediately, but just glanced at Yang Qilong.
Fuquan understood what he meant, so he said to Guanyin Bao beside him: "Guanyin, you and Yang Qilong also know each other, right? Take him to my house for a walk, and then get a waist badge. He will come and go often in the future." "
"嗻!"
Guanyin Bao responded, turned around and led Yang Qilong out.
Fuquan coughed again and said to the servants around him: "Go out and relax for a while!"
Seeing that everyone had left, Wang Zhongxiao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I stayed at home yesterday and read letters all day long. I found that King Aobai, Pingxi King, Pingnan King, Jingnan King, and Guangxi General passed by. Very secret! The most likely destination for Ao Bai is to go to Yunnan to surrender to King Ping Xi!"
"What?" Fuquan's face changed drastically, "Aobai actually worked closely with King Pingxi, King Pingnan, King Jingnan, and General Guangxi? Is it possible that Aobai still wants to collude with the four feudal lords to rebel?"
"Your Majesty, look at these." As Wang Zhongxiao spoke, he opened a large bundle he had carried on his back in front of Fu Quan. The bundles were all stacks of envelopes tied with hemp ropes.
A piece of white paper was added to each stack of envelopes, with "Prince Pingxi's Mansion", "Prince Pingnan's Mansion", "Prince Jingnan's Mansion", "General's Mansion of Guangxi", "Prince Pingxi's Crown Prince" and "Prince Pingnan" written on it. The Crown Prince" and "The Crown Prince of Jingnan".
Among them, the pile of letters from "Prince Pingxi's Mansion" has the most letters, a thick pile!
"Your Majesty, these are just the personal letters written by King Pingxi to Obai, which I roughly picked out from all the letters found in Obai's house... There are already so many! Among these letters, King Pingxi He also called Ao Bai brothers and sounded very affectionate.
In addition, King Pingxi repeatedly asked Ao Bai to take care of Prince Pingxi in his letters, and also asked Prince Pingxi to perform the junior ceremony in front of Ao Bai. It can be seen that the personal relationship between King Pingxi and Obai is extraordinary! "
Fuquan frowned and said, "These are not enough to prove that Ao Bai will seek refuge with King Pingxi, right?"
"Your Majesty, Shengming," Wang Zhongxiao said, "If you look at the letter written by Prince Pingxi to Aobai, you will understand that the only one in the world who can take in Aobai is Prince Pingxi!"
As he spoke, Wang Zhongxiao untied the rope that tied Wu Yingxiong's letter to Obai, then took out three envelopes and handed one of them to Fuquan.
Fuquan took the letter, then took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and read it. After reading it for a while, his expression changed drastically, "What? Wu Yingxiong actually exposed that most of his generals had ulterior motives and had no intention of supporting him." The ambition to rebel and become the emperor? He also said that he, Ama, knew that those people were unreliable, but was unwilling to take strict precautions against them. He still trusted them very much, which would lead to a huge disaster sooner or later... What is he going to do? "
"Your Majesty, Prince Pingxi is exposing his father's intention to rebel to Ao Bai!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "And as far as I know from my father, who is humble and humble, Prince Pingxi does have disobedient intentions!
Although King Pingnan, King Jingnan, and General Guangxi were also friendly with Ao Bai, the three of them only had the idea of separatist rule and had no ambition to rebel and become emperor. Therefore, after Obai was in trouble, it was impossible for him to seek refuge with them. "
While Wang Zhongxiao was speaking, he handed over another letter, "Your Majesty, please read this letter again."
Fuquan took the envelope and took out the letter paper and read it. After reading for a while, his brows furrowed even more tightly, "Wu Yingxiong actually wanted to replace his father...Obai actually got it right!"
"It can be seen that Ao Bai also believes that King Pingxi really has a disobedient heart!"
Wang Zhongxiao handed the last letter to Fuquan, "Your Majesty, please read this letter again... Prince Pingxi is already discussing with Ao Bai how to succeed to the throne in advance! If it weren't for the Emperor Shengming, in one fell swoop Expelling Obai, and when King Pingxi celebrates his sixtieth birthday, maybe Obai and Prince Pingxi will work together to bring him to Beijing for retirement."
Fuquan took the letter and read it for a while, frowning, "The letter also said that when Wu Yingxiong becomes queen, she will take the initiative to ask for the withdrawal of the feudal clan. She only wants to replace the Pingxi clan with a hereditary prince... Shikai , this Obai clearly wants to harm Wu Sangui, how dare he go to Wu Sangui now?"
"Your Majesty, Obai realized that King Pingxi had the ambition to rebel and proclaim himself emperor, so he decided to take advantage of the opportunity when Prince Pingxi returned to Yunnan to celebrate his father's birthday. He sent Mulima to lead his elite troops south and to the north to meet Prince Pingxi and his father. King Pingxi, who was entrusted by the imperial court, launched the surprise attack... If he was not sure that King Pingxi would rebel, how could he mobilize troops like this? And in Aobai's current situation, only King Pingxi, who is determined to rebel, has the ability and willingness to do so. Take shelter in him.”
"But what good can Wu Sangui do by protecting Obai?" Fuquan didn't seem to understand yet.
"Your Majesty, that's Obai! Batulu Obai is the best in Manchuria!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Although he is old and his martial arts skills are not as good as before. But when it comes to leading troops to fight, who can rival him in the world today? "
"This..." Fuquan suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem!
Although it has only been more than twenty years since the Qing Dynasty entered the Guan Ding world, all the famous generals who once dominated the world have withered away. If we want to rank the remaining generals and commanders, the top three must be Obai, Yue Le, and Wu Sangui... Originally, the imperial court had Obai and Yue Le, which could form a two-match comparison with Wu Sangui. One advantage.
But now that Ao Bai has taken refuge with Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui plus Ao Bai are greater than Yue Le!
Fuquan's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and he sat motionless in front of a table of delicious food. It seemed that he was worried about the country and the people to the point where he couldn't even eat.
"Your Majesty, please read these letters again." Wang Zhongxiao saw Fu Quan's sad face and quickly pushed forward the letters written by Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong.
"A letter from my father-in-law and his consort Heshuo?" Fuquan glanced at it, "What do they want to do?"
"The two of them are just like Prince Ping Xiwang," Wang Zhongxiao said. "They seem to want to become king as soon as possible and then cooperate with the court to withdraw the feudal vassal! Maybe these two have already discussed the way out for the three vassals with Prince Ping Xiwang.
Of course, King Pingnan and King Jingnan were not King Pingxi after all. There was no need for Ao Bai to take action personally. All he needed was an edict and a general to escort them to the vassal state. Judging from the contents of their letters, it seems that this is what Obai meant..."
Fuquan frowned tightly and said to himself: It seems that it is too early to get rid of Ao Bai... Just wait for two more years, and wait until Ao Bai has finished all San Francisco before getting rid of him.
Now most of Obai has taken refuge with Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui has become even more powerful. It will probably not be easy to pacify the Western King's vassal!
Seeing Fu Quan's frown, Wang Zhongxiao knew that his evil plan, no, the clever plan was already half successful.
Historically, Wu Sangui's rebellion was at least partly due to the psychological advantage possessed by the Eight Banners soldiers - not only did the Eight Banners soldiers think they were awesome, but Wu Sangui also thought the Eight Banners were awesome.
Otherwise, Wu Sangui would not have plunged into Huguang, which is densely covered with water networks - he had no navy troops to use. There would be no advantage at all in rushing into Huguang. It would be better to go directly through Sichuan and drive into Shaanxi and Gansu to collect the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps!
And if Ao Bai "voted" for Wu Sangui, then the Eight Banners soldiers wouldn't think that he was still very good, right? No matter how good they are, can they surpass Batulu, the number one in Manchuria? And if Wu Sangui's gang of little rebels who don't know the truth hear that Ao Bai and he are on the same team, will they have to harden their backs? There must be enough energy to start a rebellion. If Wu Sangui had been smarter and found a "Shadow Obei" to go to the battlefield to boost morale, it would be really cool.
And if the Ganshan Green Camp, the main force of the Qing Dynasty and the Three Feuds in history, believed that Ao Bai was following Wu Sangui, would they reconsider their alignment?
Just when he was thinking about being proud, Fuquan suddenly spoke: "Shikai, you are right, that old thief Aobai has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, so he has no choice but to seek refuge with Wu Sangui!"
"What the prince said is absolutely true."
Fuquan added: "Fortunately, the subordinates of King Pingxi are not monolithic. Wu Yingxiong is at least loyal to the court! In addition, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong are also reliable and available!"
"Your Majesty, you are wise!" Wang Zhongxiao gave him a thumbs up with a look of compliment on his face.
Fuquan stood up, pointed at the pile of letters and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Datou, pack them up, let's go into the palace to see the emperor together!"
"嗻!"
