"Your Majesty, don't you want me to teach you the behavior of those evil people in history? Aren't these evil people only interested in profit and difficult to cultivate? When you need someone, then you should love your relatives and friends. , even if he is not raised by an amma, he can still kowtow and worship his son. If the age difference is a little older, he can also adopt him as his adopted son and worship him as his adopted father. After the use is over, he can naturally turn his back and deny the person."
Li Guangdi began to teach Kang Mazi a bad lesson. Kang Mazi was a top student and had a bad nature. Otherwise, why would he want to murder Obai, the majority leader of the Council of Ministers at such a young age? Of course it’s easy to learn to be bad!
"Acknowledged as foster father." Kangxi tasted the product and turned around to ask Li Guangdi, "Guangdi, do you mean that I can still recognize Wu Yingxiong as foster father?"
"Your Majesty!" Li Guangdi smiled and said, "If you first promise to release Princess Jianning and Wu Yingxiong's two young sons (they are in Beijing), and then recognize Wu Yingxiong as your adoptive father, then you will be Wu Yingxiong's son emperor and Wu Sangui's grandson emperor. As long as we are promised more land in Guanzhong, we will definitely get the help of Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong, and we will be sure to raise an army to fight against the thieves!"
"Wouldn't this mean that I am Shi Jingtang's second best?"
"Your Majesty, the emperor's sage, the plan proposed by me is exactly the plan of Jingtang to cede territory and borrow from his teacher!"
Kangxi frowned and said, "Li Guangdi, you, do you really think you are Qin Hui?"
Li Guangdi said seriously: "Your Majesty, this Qin Hui is a loyal minister of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty! If Qin Hui hadn't harmed Yue Fei, Yue Fei from the Northern Dynasty would have been Yue Jinnu! By then, even if Yue Fei could swallow thousands of miles, restore the Central Plains, and go straight to Huanglong , so what?"
"But, but" Kangxi shook his head repeatedly, "but if I recognize Wu Yingxiong as my Ama and cede the land of Guanzhong, what will the Manchus think of me? Will they still support me as emperor?"
"The emperor is wrong!" Li Guangdi said, "If you don't recognize Wu Yingxiong as your adoptive father and don't cut off the land in Guanzhong, you won't be able to continue to be the emperor. The Qing Dynasty will not be able to preserve its power!"
Kangxi looked at Li Guangdi, frowning deeply, and kept muttering in his heart: Do I still have to recognize a wild father? Can't I defeat all the rebels on my own?
"Your Majesty, if you don't let the land of Guanzhong go out, then Wu Sangui will not be able to be the emperor. Guanzhong has been an imperial family since ancient times. With Guanzhong, Wu Sangui can follow the example of the Han and Tang Dynasties and become an emperor on his own! Otherwise, how can he be the emperor? Be the emperor in Xiangyang Is it? It doesn’t last long at first glance!
And once Wu Sangui becomes the emperor, then he and Prince Zhu San will no longer be emperors and ministers, but enemies! This world has truly become three points! Otherwise, Wu Sangui will attack Guanzhong with all his strength, Prince Zhu will try his best to annex Shandong, and their two families will join forces to attack our Qing family. How can the Qing defeat us with one against two? "
Kangxi thought about it again and again, and knew in his heart that Li Guang was right.
Originally, his strategy of guarding Chang'an and controlling Sangui was quite successful. Wu Sangui could be firmly restrained in the west and slowly consumed. However, he never expected that Wu Yingxiong suddenly exerted his strength and a bear shook China. At the same time, Li Zicheng pretended to recover. The whole situation in Huguang was disrupted. In order to contain Wu Yingxiong and Li Zicheng, the Qing Dynasty had to mobilize troops from Jiangnan and Jiangbei to support the upper reaches, and even mobilized the troops of Geng Jingzhong, the Fujian vassal king with ulterior motives, so that the overall situation in the south was almost collapsed.
In this case, if Kangxi continued to fight Wu Sangui in Xi'an, he would be wasting himself and the Qing Dynasty - because Wu Sangui was unlikely to leave the half-eaten Shaanxi and Gansu without continuing to eat and then turn around and fight with the Qing Dynasty. The large open fire on the east side.
The reason he was angry with Li Zicheng before was not because of the deep grudge between the two parties. In addition, the two families' territories were mixed together, making it difficult to defend. Xiangyang might be attacked by Li Zicheng at any time, so Wu Sangui, an old evil man, simply said, "Never teach me." If you betray Li Zicheng, don't teach Li Zicheng to betray me."
But Wu Sangui's base camp is still far away from Nanjing. There is also an unknown Li Zicheng among Wu Ming. It is obviously impossible for Wu Sangui to give up half-eaten Shaanxi and Gansu to conquer the Ming Dynasty. And as long as Wu Sangui cannot defeat Guanzhong , then the Shaanxi-Gandan territory he finally conquered would not be able to form a tight defense line, and a large number of troops would have to be left behind to hold on.
So for Wu Sangui, eating Guanzhong and trying other things is the only feasible option!
"Your Majesty," Li Guangdi saw that Kangxi was silent and knew that the little emperor had been shaken, so he tried harder to persuade him: "The 40,000 troops you have managed to save these days are your only wealth. And Wu Sangui can devote 100 to 150,000 troops to Guanzhong!"
Wu Sangui had four main forces, led by himself, Wu Yingqi, Wu Yingxiong, and Wu Guogui respectively. They were distributed in Hubei, Shaanxi-Gansu, Henan, and Hunan. Each main force had ten guards and nearly 50,000 people.
If Wu Sangui is really determined to win Guanzhong, he can mobilize at most three of the four main forces to enter Guanzhong. By then, it will be 150,000 against 40,000. Kangxi will die!
"But I betrayed my country and asked for help and recognized a traitor as my father. What will the Eight Banners think of me? Will they still support me as emperor?" Kangxi whispered, "And I also killed Wu Yingxiong's eldest son."
"Your Majesty," Li Guangdi said with a sinister smile, "The Eight Banners disciples in Beijing may not support you, but the Eight Banners disciples in Xi'an are in the same boat as you! If you are defeated by the Regent, what good will come of them? The Regent's men There are also many hungry wolves waiting to eat meat!
Besides, you have the support of Wu Sangui, so you are very sure of defeating the regent. If the Eight Banners disciples in Xi'an don't follow you back to Beijing to enjoy their happiness, do they still want to fight Wu Sangui's army?
As for the mere murder of his son, Your Majesty, do you think Wu Yingxiong cares about it now? Behind him stood a brother who was eyeing him eagerly! If Xi'an is captured by this brother, can he still keep his position as the heir apparent? "
Kangxi glanced at Li Guangdi, sighed, and thought to himself: You are indeed my Qin Hui, but I just need you, Qin Hui!
"That's alright!" Kangxi gritted his teeth, "Li Guangdi, please do me a favor and go to Nanyang to see Wu Yingxiong and tell him about my plan to betray the country for glory and recognize a thief as my father!"
Li Guangdi quickly lifted up his official robe and bowed down: "Your Majesty, I will honor your orders!"
When Li Guangdi arrived at Nanyang Mansion, Wu Yingxiong was also preparing for an expedition, but the target was not Xi'an, but Runing Mansion next door to Nanyang Mansion. This expedition was actually unplanned and was prompted by Li Zhongshan's efforts to pacify Huaixi.
After Li Zhongshan roughly pacified Huaixi, Ma Bao's brother, Ma Weixing, who went to Fujian from Yunnan to exchange rebellion experience, began to return to Wu Sangui's camp. This was agreed, so Li Zhongshan not only did not stop him, but also sent Sui All the Green Camp prisoners captured in the Water War were given to him, and he was asked to gather a total of 8,000 elite soldiers and go west in glory.
Of course, Li Zhongshan did not give away these prisoners for nothing, he also had conditions. He wanted Ma Weixing to talk to Wu Yingxiong, and when he asked Wu Yingxiong to send troops to take in Runing, he would also send his daughter Wu Xiaoji to Huaixi. Wu Xiaoji had almost grown enough to consummate the marriage!
In addition, if it is convenient for Wu Yingxiong, Li Zhongshan would also like to meet him at the border of Runing Prefecture and Yingzhou Prefecture, and give Wu Xiaojie a nice show by the way - although she is a concubine, she can take care of her when doing things. Come with the eldest wife that the media is marrying!
This was originally a good thing, but suddenly some complications arose, causing Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan to have a headache.
With a snap, the chess piece landed gently on the chessboard. A chess set is reaching the endgame of the gathering of seven stars. There are only seven chess pieces left on both sides. Now it was Wu Yingxiong's turn to make a move. He frowned and looked at the chessboard, looking like he was thinking hard and hesitant.
The person playing chess with him was Wu Shifan. Wu Shifan seemed to have noticed that his father's mind was not on the chessboard, so he discussed with him the affairs of the family, country and the world - now the Wu family's family affairs are national affairs and concern the world affairs!
"Father, grandpa didn't have any good intentions when he wanted to marry Xiaoji to Li Jiqing! Xiaoji is not the daughter to be married, but the concubine of Brother Li. Although this status is humiliating to Xiaoji, it is already a fact. , Xiaoxian went home to visit relatives, and then ran away with Brother Li's brother. What's the big deal? Besides, Xiaoxian didn't want to! She just liked Brother Li.
In addition, if Li Jiqing robs Xiaoji, then brother Li and him will not turn against each other? If the Li family is really going to have internal strife because of Xiaoji, will Xiaoji be able to survive? I don’t think I can listen to grandpa on this matter. "
Wu Sangui is really not a good person!
He actually wanted to use his granddaughter to create a rift between them and provoke a confrontation between the Li brothers!
Wu Yingxiong shook his head gently and said: "You are making your grandpa simple? If Li Zhongshan supports our family to win the world, what does Li Jiqing mean? How can he compare with Li Zhongshan? In order to win over Li Zhongshan, What does it mean if Xiao Xie is given to him as a concubine? As you said, the status has been there for a long time. If your grandfather just recognizes it, he can still get a good reputation for being trustworthy and righteous!
But the problem is that Li Er and our family are not of the same mind! That's why your grandfather wanted to drive a wedge between Li Er and Li San so that their brothers could turn against each other. "
"Father," Wu Shifan whispered, "Li Er and grandpa are not of the same mind, but he will support you as the future head of the Wu family after all! If Xiaoxian is given to Li San, then you and Li Er will only have to kill their son. Hatred! Who will he support then?"
"This." Wu Yingxiong trembled at that time.
These days, except for Prince Zhu, whose brothers are all dead, who doesn't have the troubles of brothers and sisters?
Kangxi was troubled by Fuquan, Li Zhongshan had an unconscious brother Li Jiqing, and Wu Yingxiong also had a good brother named Wu Yingqi.
"Father," Wu Shifan said again, "the world has been divided into three parts. It will probably take decades to reunite the world. The key now is whether you can become one third!
And what grandpa wants is just for the Li brothers to turn against each other! As for who Xiaoxian belongs to, he doesn't care at all! As long as Li Er and Li San became enemies, he would be satisfied. So we can arrange it this way."
Wu Shifan has also turned bad!
Just when he was whispering about "teaching bad things" to Wu Yingxiong, Liu Xuanchu's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, are there any visitors from Xi'an?"
"Xi'an? This is"
"Father, Kangxi's envoy should go and see him first!"
"Okay, first go and listen to what Kangxi's envoy said?"
Kangxi’s envoy was a monk! It’s just Li Guangdi with a shaved head.
If he doesn't shave his head and keeps his hair in braids, he will have to keep his braids but not his hair. He will die if he can't reach Nanyang.
After Li Guangdi arrived in Nanyang, he immediately approached Wu Yingxiong's military advisor Liu Xuanchu, presented Kangxi's autographed letter, informed Kangxi of his intention to reconcile with Wu Yingxiong, and requested an interview with Wu Yingxiong. He also hinted that the ownership of Xi'an could be negotiated!
As soon as he heard that Xi'an could be discussed, Liu Xuanchu immediately brought Li Guangdi to see Wu Yingxiong.
"What? Li Hanlin, what did you say?"
The place where Wu Shifan and Li Guangdi met was the lobby of his own Shisun Mansion. After some introductions and greetings, Li Guangdi brought up an extremely hot topic - Kangxi was preparing to follow Shi Jingtang's example!
"Kangxi has always used ancient Mingjun as his role model, but finally he imitated Shi Jingtang? Can't he learn something good?"
Li Guangdi smiled and said: "Master, look at what you said, who doesn't want to learn well? But the problem is that it is not easy to learn well! Kangxi wanted to imitate Qin Shihuang in eradicating powerful officials, but he monopolized power and ended up killing the pillars of the country by mistake! He also wanted to imitate Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu of Han They cut down vassal towns to consolidate the imperial power, but failed to defeat Ling's grandfather, causing the world to fall apart, and the good unification was reduced to three parts. Moreover, there were also problems within the Qing Dynasty. The regent Fuquan received the support of a group of nobles from the Eight Banners, which almost A separate imperial court was established in Beijing. If Kangxi wanted to destroy Fuquan, he had no choice but to imitate Shi Jingtang. In fact, it would be good if he could learn from Shi Jingtang, but Shi Jingtang passed the throne to his nephew."
Wu Shifan thought about it and felt that Li Guangdi's words made sense. It's not easy to learn well, and it's not easy to learn bad either!
I wonder who his grandfather Wu Sangui wanted to imitate back then? Anyway, I also did Shi Jingtang's business that year, but instead of becoming an emperor, I became the King of Pingxi. Later, relying solely on my own efforts, I finally became "Wu Lushan". It was really not easy!
"Then how is he going to imitate Shi Jingtang?" Wu Shifan asked again.
"According to the history books, whatever Shi Jingtang did that will be infamy for thousands of years, he just did it! Shi Jingtang cut off the sixteen states of Yanyun, and he can cut off the land and cities in Guanzhong. Shi Jingtang recognized the Khitan Emperor as his father, and he can also recognize it. Your father is your father! From now on, he will be your brother!"
"What? Kangxi and I are brothers? Will he change his name to Wu Xuanye in the future?"
Liu Xuanchu on the side laughed: "Wu Xuanye is a good name! Young Master, I think it's okay!"
Of course Liu Xuanchu supported Kangxi in recognizing the traitor as his father!
Because he was on Wu Yingxiong's ship, Wu Yingxiong had to use some skill to capture Xi'an. If he wanted to fight hard, Wu Yingqi would definitely succeed first.
Once Wu Yingqi captured Xi'an, Wu Sangui would most likely make him his heir apparent. Wu Sangui gave his two sons similar armies and asked them to attack from different directions. It was clear that they wanted to "race horses" and whoever ran faster would come to power.
Originally, Wu Yingqi had the advantage. He himself could generally fight, his son was especially good at fighting, but Wu Yingxiong could not fight. But who knew that Wu Yingxiong's son Wu Shifan was quite capable of fighting, and he immediately turned the situation around.
But Wu Yingqi still has the upper hand now, and he still has a good chance of conquering Xi'an first!
After all, critical battles really test the combat effectiveness of the troops and the "micro-management" abilities of the generals, and Wu Shicong is too strong in this aspect!
So if Wu Yingxiong wants to win, he has to "cheat"!
"But Kangxi's land cannot be given to him in vain, and his father cannot be recognized in vain!" Li Guang said, "How the Khitan helped Shi Jingtang back then, your father must help Kangxi now!"
Who would betray the country for glory or regard a thief as his father?
"But Kangxi is already the emperor!" Wu Shifan was a little confused, "How can he ask my father to help?"
"Now there are traitors in the Qing Dynasty"
"Huh?" Wu Shifan's eyes widened - isn't the biggest traitor in the Qing Dynasty his family?
Li Guangdi quickly waved his hand and said: "Shisun, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about your family. Kangxi will accept your father as his adoptive father."
Recognize the thief as your father and then go kill other thieves!
"That can't be Li Zhongshan and Prince Zhu San!" Wu Shifan said.
"Of course, of course not!" Li Guang said, "The thief I'm talking about is a domestic thief. I mean Fu Quan, who has now proclaimed himself the regent, and has also detained Ling Gaotang and the two Ling brothers. Don't you want to send troops to the north to bring back your wife? Son?"
Wu Shifan is still relatively sentimental now, and he also wants to welcome back Princess Jianning, his aunt who treats him as if he were her own son, so he nodded and said: "My father has always missed his aunt very much, and I think he will agree to it, but send troops north to Beijing. This matter My son is too big, and my father can’t make the decision, so it seems you have to go to Xiangyang with me.”
