Sun Yanling, who was bent on snatching back her son and the territory, finally said goodbye to Prince Wu Yingxiong of the Great Zhou Dynasty with tears in her eyes, then got up and left. Seeing the back of this middle-aged man straightening up again disappearing outside the gate of the third hall of the Prince's Mansion, Wu Yingxiong could only let out a long sigh.
Just as Wu Yingxiong sighed, light footsteps came from behind a screen in the lobby, and then he saw Princess Jianning, dressed as a noble lady from the Ming Dynasty, walking out from behind the screen with a smile, and greeted Wu Yingxiong with a blessing. He said with a smile in a slightly teasing tone: "My prince, who do you want to marry Xiaoxian to? Shifan and Datou were having a good talk at Hulao Pass. Why are you turning around and flirting again? Sun Changsheng?
Alas, this Sun Changsheng is also a miserable man. With just such a son, he is probably not his son! "
Wu Yingxiong immediately glared at his beloved wife, "How can you talk about this woman? What do you mean she is probably not his kind? That is not the case at all. How can there be such a possibility? Sun Changsheng is not the only woman with Kong Sizhen. Look at him besides Ji Qing. Are there any other children outside? None! What does this mean?"
"That's right! No wonder Sun Changsheng cares so little about this bastard." Princess Jianning smiled and sat down next to Wu Yingxiong, "But my prince, Sun Changsheng and you have always been very good. We have been brothers for so many years, but you can't bear to treat him like a bastard." Going to death?"
Wu Yingxiong's face darkened again: "Why do you ask me to trap him to death? He obviously wanted to jump into the trap himself, how can he blame me? And he may succeed this time and help his son get his beloved one. Women, and then fled back to Guangxi together to raise troops to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. In the end, they helped our Zhou Dynasty to overthrow Guangdong and became the true founding heroes of the Zhou Dynasty. Isn't this good? "
Princess Jianning blinked: "Prince, do you really want Sun Changsheng to kidnap Xiaoji?"
Wu Yingxiong shook his head.
Princess Jianning asked: "No?"
"I don't know!" Wu Yingxiong tilted his head.
"Don't know? How could you not know?"
"Of course I don't know," Wu Yingxiong smiled bitterly and said, "If a person is in Shifan's hands, it is Shifan's decision to decide who to hand it over to. As a father, even if I say it, it may not be useful, so I just won't say it. "
"You can see clearly!" Jianning frowned, "What about the old man? What does he mean?"
"The old man wants to capture Guangfu, and he wants to capture all of Hubei. He doesn't care about other things." Wu Yingxiong said, "The old man thinks that the current Qing Dynasty is the same as the Meng Yuan Dynasty back then. Kangxi is the one, and the one named 'Iron' The pot's are almost the same as those of Emperor Yuan Shun"
Jianning quickly corrected him: "It's ugly to call it Tuohuan Tiemu'er, but it's called an iron pot!"
"One meaning. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty is about to be over. It will be great if you can escape outside the customs and become a Northern Qing Dynasty in the future." Wu Yingxiong shook his head and said, "It seems that Geng Jingzhong will not be able to hold a big position. Sooner or later, he will join forces with Li Fuchen, Liu Jinzhong, and Zheng Jing. Ganfan. This guy looks like Zhang Shicheng. So in the future, it will be the Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in the southeast that will compete for the world. If we can seize Guangdong and Wuchang in Hubei before the Ming Dynasty suppresses Geng Jingzhong and penetrates Jiangxi. , Hanyang, Huangzhou and other prefectures, then the situation will be very beneficial to our great Zhou Dynasty."
"Kangxi is Tuo Huan Tie Mu'er, Geng Jingzhong is Zhang Shicheng, then who is Zhu Yuanzhang, and who is Chen Youliang?" Princess Jianning's face showed worry when she asked this.
Looking at the location of the site, it seems that Wu Zhou is more like Chen Youliang!
"Who is Chen Youliang and who is Zhu Yuanzhang? It depends on which family can unite and which family will fall into internal strife." Wu Yingxiong analyzed: "Chen Youliang's defeat actually started with the murder of his master Xu Shouhui, and Chen Han's usurpation of the country came from Xu Song. Chen Youliang In the eyes of the old people of Xu Song Dynasty, regicide and seizing the throne were nothing more than rebellious officials and traitors. But Chen Youliang had something in his heart. After becoming the emperor, he could no longer believe in the old people of Xu Song Dynasty. The only person he could really rely on was himself. The confidants brought out. However, there are many old people from Xu and Song Dynasties, and some of them still have soldiers. It is impossible for Chen Youliang to replace or kill them all in a short period of time, so he has to both prevent and use them. And the following The old people of Xu and Song Dynasties, either to protect themselves or out of righteous indignation, can no longer do their best as before.
In other words, after Chen Youliang killed the king and usurped the throne, the hearts of his group were dispersed! Because of this, after Chen Youliang became emperor, he rarely won many battles and was dominated by Zhu Yuanzhang in every aspect.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang, although he also killed King Xiao Ming, the people under him were brought out by him, not passed down by Liu Futong. In this way, no one will regard Prince Xiao Ming as the real lord, and if he dies, he will die. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's group of people can still work together.
Gege, do you think who is more likely to have internal strife between our family and Daming? "
Princess Jianning whispered: "Of course the Ming Dynasty is more prone to internal strife. But we also have a King of Qin in our family!"
If the King of Qin and the Crown Prince had an internal conflict, it would be a super internal conflict that would shake the earth!
"Don't talk nonsense!" After hearing what Princess Jianning said, Wu Yingxiong's tone became serious, "My second brother and I are brothers!"
Jianning sighed: "I don't know about Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. But whether Kangxi and Fuquan are brothers, you and I should know!"
Wu Yingxiong was not very calm now. After seeing the struggle between Kangxi and Fuquan, who would dare to believe that there are brothers in the emperor's family?
After leaving Wu Yingxiong's prince's palace, Sun Yanling did not return to her own palace, but went directly to Shang Shuying's princess' palace - both of them were divorced and unmarried, not very old, good-looking, and had wealth and status. There's not much difference. Anyway, they both have financial freedom, and they both seem to have some difficulties in fertility, so they are quite a match.
So there was no need for Wu Yingxiong to introduce him. They were already very good friends. They often visited each other, drank and chatted together, and they were very good friends. When they got tired of chatting, they would take a break together!
After getting along with each other these days, it feels like we regret seeing each other too late.
"What? Brother Changsheng, do you want to kidnap Princess Jiading and become your son's wife?"
As soon as Sun Yanling saw Shang Shuying, she proposed an unexpected but reasonable plan.
"Sister Shuying," Sun Yanling was a little crazy thinking about her son. She probably cried again on the way here, her eyes were red, "I have only one son. He is a good boy, good at both civil and military skills, and he has known filial piety since he was a child. I am the father. It is impossible for him to recognize a thief as his father! I have to help him marry the beautiful woman as he wishes. And the emperor also wants this, but because of his face, he is embarrassed to let Princess Jiading remarry. But if I make a fait accompli, the emperor will definitely do the same. Agreed.
In addition, my son is the official Jiedushi of Gui Haijun, and everyone in Gui Haijun recognizes him. I also have many old subordinates in Gui Haijun. If we get the emperor's support, Ji Qing and I can pull Gui Haijun away from the Ming Dynasty. Maybe the whole of Guangxi and even Guangdong may belong to the Zhou Dynasty! Shuying, do you think this can be done? "
This is really a "twenty-five filial piety"!
Shang Shuying was a little moved by Sun Yanling's words.
There are too many unfaithful and unfilial fathers these days, with all kinds of tricks!
Shang Shuying's father, Shang Kexi, was also one of the many unfilial fathers. If he hadn't killed too many people in Guangdong, the Guangdong soldiers there wouldn't have gone crazy and wanted to kill the entire Shang family.
Thinking of this, Shang Shuying just muttered: "Brother Changsheng, the key to whether this matter can come to fruition depends on the emperor's intention! Only if the emperor has this intention, you can succeed, otherwise don't think too much about it."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty must have this intention!" Sun Yanling thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "The Crown Prince gave me a lot of hints today."
"That's good, but we still have to plan carefully! Because Wu Shifan and Li Zhongshan have a very good relationship, and the Wu family also has a King of Qin, Wu Shifan has to leave a way out for himself!"
Sun Yanling nodded: "I understand. The prince probably didn't want to break up with Li Zhongshan, so that's why he gave me those hints!" He patted his chest again, "For my son, I will take responsibility for this evil person alone!"
As he spoke, he looked at Shang Shuying and said, "Shuying, can you do me a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
"Can you help me get Princess Jiading out of the Henan Governor's Office in Nanyang?"
Shang Shuying pondered for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then I'll give it a try!"
At the same time, outside Hulao Pass, on the bank of the Yellow River, under a pergola, two young men wearing loose and thin silk robes were sitting opposite each other, drinking ice-cold wine and eating a pot of braised Yellow River carp. While still discussing how to carve up the Central Plains territory of the Qing Dynasty!
"Brother Meiyu, how about we divide the Chu River and Han boundary like this, and the Central Plains in the middle, using the old road of Honggou as the boundary, with the Zhou Dynasty to the west of Honggou and the Ming Dynasty to the east?"
"Brother Shikai, are you thinking too beautifully? We should divide the Central Plains territory equally, but we should not divide Huainan and Jiangnan equally? The good territory in the south belongs to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Beautiful jade. The Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with you Wu Zhou! Wu Zhou is a country of fathers, sons and brothers, while the Ming Dynasty is a country of people, scholars, vassals, emperors and a republic. It is said to be a republic, but in fact it is just a piece of loose sand. It is big but not strong!"
"How are you not strong? Brother Shikai, do you think I don't know the details of the Ming Dynasty? When it comes to population, taxes, food, industry and commerce, how is your Ming Dynasty not far superior to the Zhou Dynasty? If it weren't for the mountains and vassal towns inside, the world would be a long time ago They were unified by the Ming Dynasty!"
"Meiyu, you still have it, then let's not divide the Central Plains, and let's divide the territory of Henan!"
"Okay! Henan Prefecture (Luoyang), Shaanzhou, and Ruzhou are all mine!"
"Okay! Then Kaifeng, Xuzhou, Guide, and Chenzhou will all belong to the Ming Dynasty. That's it!"
"What's the deal? You have to keep Kaifeng and Guide for Kangxi!"
"Why? Why do you have to leave a copy for him?"
Needless to say, these two young men knew that they were Li Zhongshan and Wu Shifan.
One of them said that he would aid Kangxi, and the other said that he would aid Fuquan. For this reason, they also claimed to confront each other at Hulao Pass. But in fact, Wu Shifan brought 2,000 people to Sishui County, while Li Zhongshan only brought the Shanzi Battalion of more than 1,000 people to Xingyang County. As for the other troops brought by the two men, they were busy occupying the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
However, it is still about occupying territory. Li Zhongshan's heart is obviously darker and he wants to divide all the territory in Henan. Wu Shifan wanted to leave some territory for Kangxi. However, the reason why he wanted to leave some territory for Kangxi was not because of his peace of mind, but because his heart was darker!
"Brother Shikai," Wu Shifan said, "I am thinking about you!"
"Think about me?" Li Zhongshan was hesitant.
Wu Shifan said: "If we divide all the land south of the Yellow River, the tyrant Kangxi will definitely not agree!"
"So what if he doesn't agree?" Li Zhongshan smiled and said to Wu Shifan, "Meiyu, if we join forces, we can go to Beijing."
"My grandpa will not agree to let us go to Beijing together!" Wu Shifan said lightly, "and Kangxi knew that Henan would be lost, so he would have people open the Yellow River dam!
My territory is high and your territory is low. Think about it! "
It’s true!
Li Zhongshan considered it and said: "The Mongols did this once when Duan Ping entered Luo. Kangxi can indeed do it!"
"So you have to leave part of Guide Mansion and most of Kaifeng Mansion to Kangxi temporarily," Wu Shifan continued to analyze, "Kangxi will definitely allocate it to the princes below, and those princes will not easily submerge their own territory. In this way, You can manage Chenzhou, Xuzhou, part of Guide and part of Kaifeng with peace of mind. When the time is right, catch the Qing army by surprise and push them across the Yellow River in one fell swoop!"
"Haha," Li Zhongshan laughed, "Meiyu, you are growing up very fast! Wu Ruiyu (Wu Shicong Wu Yushuai) can't even do such a plan. It seems that when your grandfather passes away, the person who will support Wu Zhou's country must be You!"
Wu Shifan's face darkened: "Brother Shikai, how can you curse my grandfather?"
"Who has never died since ancient times?" Li Zhongshan said seriously, "Brother Meiyu, you must make plans early! The Xuanwu Sect incident may happen to your family!"
Wu Shifan was a little angry, "Shikai, how can you alienate my closest relatives?"
Li Zhongshan shook his head: "Kangxi and Fuquan are also close relatives, beautiful brothers. I don't know about others, but I have known Yushuai for eight years, so I know his character. He wants to be the emperor! You must be careful about the Xuanwu Sect. Change!”
Wu Shifan fell silent.
Li Zhongshan’s words are of course alienating!
But he was very reasonable!
Wu Shicong not only has the idea of becoming an emperor, but also has the ability to be an emperor, and he also looks like an emperor - like Emperor Wu Sangui! Therefore, he was especially loved by Wu Sangui. He studied martial arts and military tactics with Wu Sangui since he was a child, so he developed all his skills at a young age.
Moreover, the "Shaanxi-Gansu Gang" in Dazhou is now headed by Wu Yingqi, with Wu Shicong as the young leader!
These people from the Shaanxi-Gansu Gang will definitely try their best to push Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong to compete with Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan for the world!
"Brother Meiyu," Li Zhongshan said in a caring tone, "this time I brought five hundred rifled guns made in Foshan. They are all brand new and unused, and they will all be given to your soldiers, so that you will not be afraid of the Xuanwu Sect. It’s changed!”
Five hundred Foshan rifled guns may not seem like a lot, but it is enough for a war like the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Because Wu Sangui did not allow his children and grandchildren to lead too many troops into Chang'an City, the total number of troops Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan could bring into Chang'an was only a few hundred to less than a thousand elites.
If equipped with five hundred rifled guns, it would not be difficult to kill Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong!
As long as he can be cruel!
In this kind of thing, it’s better to strike first!
Thinking of this, Wu Shifan suddenly shivered, and there was cold sweat on his back.
Seeing that Wu Shifan's face turned slightly blue, Li Zhongshan said to him in a comforting tone: "Meiyu, if you are not satisfied, just come and vote."
Wu Shifan finally showed a smile this time, and said with a smile: "Brother Shikai, thank you for the rifle. When Shuangyu comes, how about we go to Xuzhou together? You and Xiaofu can get married there! She Although she is just a concubine, she is not an ordinary woman."
"Understood!" Li Zhongshan laughed, "Meiyu, I promise to treat Xiaoji as a princess!"
"What are you talking about? Xiaoji is the princess!"
"I announce that the meeting of political kings and ministers unanimously passed the resolution to revoke the resolution on the removal of the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor is our emperor again!"
As Prince Yi Zhenggong Chang Ning loudly announced that Kangxi had become the emperor again, he was almost catching up with Ming Yingzong.
Of course, he is still better than Ming Yingzong. The latter came to power through a coup launched by subordinates. Kangxi, on the other hand, first used force and then relied on voting to get the throne back solidly.
Moreover, the voting at the Council of Councilors and Ministers was entirely held on the voluntary basis of the Council of Councilors and Ministers without being threatened—at least among those who observed the Council of Councilors of the Qing Dynasty to elect the emperor, such as Nan Huairen and Luo Dongni. From the perspective of the foreign devils, this was a very just and important event that must be reported to Europe.
The enemies of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, one after the other, are now holding meetings to elect the emperor.
This number is probably the only one in Europe right now that can be compared with the United Provinces of the Netherlands, right?
This is such progress!
However, Emperor Kangxi himself did not know that he had progressed to the point of leading the world. Instead, he felt that voting for the emperor was a shame and a great humiliation. Only a weak king like Prince Zhu San had to take such a route. He was a wise king, how could he end up like this? The point?
If things continue like this, wouldn't the Qing emperor be the same as the Ming emperor after Prince Zhu San?
No, Kangxi was not even as good as Prince Zhu.
Because those who supported Prince Zhu’s ascension to the throne were all loyal to the Ming Dynasty!
And at least most of the people who elevated Kangxi to the throne were rebellious officials and traitors!
The emperor was elected by rebellious ministers and traitors. Does anyone listen to this?
This is not possible!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"
At this time, the political kings and ministers who had just elected Kangxi began to shout long live.
Listening to the cheers of the rebellious officials and traitors, Kangxi still managed to smile gratefully.
