Kangxi looked at the old lady blankly, with ten thousand disagreements in his heart.
How could Wu Sangui not be a mortal enemy?
This old guy deserves death!
If he hadn't raised troops in Yunnan, would the chaos have been so big now? No matter how powerful the third prince and grandson of Zhu are, they will only be able to conquer Guangdong. And the Qing Dynasty and the whole world except Guangdong, as long as we fight a protracted war, the Qing Dynasty will definitely win!
But now that Wu Sangui has rebelled, the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan are in chaos... Although Guangxi's ancestor Zeqing still claimed to the Qing court as a "loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty", Kangxi suspected that he also claimed to Prince Zhu San and Wu The President has pledged his allegiance to the "Three Ministers"!
But what annoyed Kangxi the most was not Wu Sangui's rebellion, but Wu Yingxiong's escape. This matter simply made him treat Aixinjueluo Xuan Ye as a monkey.
How could such a wise man like him be fooled like this? Would you say it's irritating or not?
Bumubutai looked at his grandson, who was a little carried away by anger, and nodded gently - this was actually an affirmation of Kangxi! Because Kangxi hid his anger so well that it was almost invisible.
This is called being indistinguishable from emotion to emotion!
Compared with Kangxi, both Wu Shilin and Wu Yingxiong were far behind. Even Wu Sangui couldn't compare. Only Zhu Heji, Zhu San's grandson, was his opponent!
Thinking of this, Bumu Butai began to recite poetry.
"I will smile to the sky from my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact..."
Kangxi was startled and his face became very ugly.
Bumbutai added: "The person who can write this poem while on death row is now the young master of Guangdong..."
Kangxi's face was so livid that it was about to turn black!
Because he had already remembered how anxious he was when he saw the "Collection of Poems of Renzi Ke Gongshi" and "Great Righteousness", "The World is Common", "Taking Righteousness to Become Benevolence" and "Becoming a Saint".
Compared with the territory and army that Zhu Heji transformed with "original Confucianism", Wu Sangui's territory and army were nothing at all.
Moreover, although Wu Sangui had four provinces, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan among them did not have a large population. Counting Hunan, which was not completely controlled by Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui had a population of more than 4 million at most, which was more than Guangdong controlled by the Zhu family. Not much more.
If Zhu Heji could conquer Guangxi and Fujian while reorganizing Guangdong, the population under his control would most likely exceed 6 million!
Look at Geng Jingzhong's bearish appearance, he probably won't be able to hold on for long!
Therefore, Wu Sangui's strength only seems to be a bit strong, and Lizi is far inferior to the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu!
Bu Mu Butai said again: "And Zhu Heji is about the same age as you, and Wu Sangui is already over sixty this year and is very old! How many years can he live? After Wu Sangui's death, your biggest enemy will be Who? Is it Wu Yingxiong? Is it Wu Shilin? Or... Zhu Heji?"
"It's Zhu Heji!" Emperor Kangxi said through gritted teeth.
Bumubutai suddenly looked at Wu Shilin who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, "Shilin, if you inherit the position of president, who will be your biggest enemy?"
"Zhu Heji! Zhu Heji..." At this point, Wu Shilin felt something was wrong again and quickly changed his words, "Grandma, I will not be the president. I am a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"
Bumbutai smiled and said: "My child, your president cannot come from the north... He can't even reach Jiangning. At most, he will be a president who is far from the southwest, and this president can be a hypocrite. It can also be from my Qing Dynasty!"
"Yes... No, it must be from the Qing Dynasty! It must be from the Qing Dynasty!"
Wu Shilin was quite clever, and he immediately understood that Bu Mu Butai had pointed out a way for him to survive!
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Bumu Butai looked at Emperor Kangxi again.
Kangxi sighed, "Okay, let's do it like this!"
He turned to look at Wu Shilin and said: "Go back to your Shihu Hutong. When you get back, I will write a letter to your Ama and E Niang, and advise them properly. The imperial court can grant them the land in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. If you think the population there is too small, just move the population from Hunan there."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..." Wu Shilin narrowly escaped death and had the opportunity to become the president, so of course he kowtowed like a fool.
...
At the same time, Wu Shilin's mother, Wu Yingxiong, was having breakfast with his "sworn sister" Kong Sizhen, who was visiting from afar, in a mansion in Shaoyang County, Baoqing Prefecture, Hunan Province!
Kong Sizhen arrived in Baoqing just two days ago. After arriving, she first went to the presidential palace to meet Wu Sangui, and then moved into the temporary residence of "sworn brother" Wu Yingxiong.
Just live there for a while... It's not a big deal if my sister lives at my brother's house.
Wu Yingxiong's wife, Princess Jianning, is still staying in Kunming with his second son Wu Shifan these days and does not follow the army.
Of course, Princess Jianning's position in the Wu family is still very secure. She was with Wu Yingxiong when she was twelve or thirteen years old. She was a "raised" princess wife, and she grew up step by step from a pink and tender lolita to an aunt. Having been with Wu Yingxiong day and night for so many years, the old husband and wife have long become one.
Now that Wu Sangui doesn't have Aunt Jianning around, to be honest, she still misses her. Having a foster sister to accompany him relieved Wu Yingxiong's loneliness.
So today Wu Yingxiong was in a good mood and had a good appetite. He ate a big bowl of Yunnan rice noodles, and then he talked to Kong Sizhen with satisfaction.
"Fourth sister, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect to meet again in Hunan."
Kong Sizhen smiled sweetly: "It's been almost seven or eight years... The last time we met was in the fourth year of Kangxi's reign, before Nu and Yanling went to Guangxi for dinner. I didn't expect that everything changed in the blink of an eye. .Brother, what are you thinking? Do you really want to help the Zhu family conquer the world again?"
"Help the Zhu family conquer the world?" Wu Ying smiled mischievously, "What title did the old man use? President and marshal... This is not a title given by the Zhu family! Moreover, the old man's reign was Chongzhen forty-sixth year. , this is not the reign name of the third prince Zhu, they use the second year of the reign of King Ding. Sister, don’t you understand?"
"I don't quite understand!" Kong Sizhen smiled, "Brother, how much of the world do you want? Three points? Two points? If you want three points, you will have Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan... Still not satisfied?
To divide the world into two parts...Since ancient times, it has only been divided into north and south, not east and west! "
"Sister, what do you mean?" Wu Yingxiong looked at Kong Sizhen with a smile.
Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "All the slaves have come to Shaoyang, what else can it mean? The slave's late father tortured Emperor Chongzhen, but his son can spare the slave?"
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, you will be fine if you stay here with me... Let your two sons come over too, don't stay in Ganzhou Mansion, it's too dangerous! "
"Danger? Brother Wu, you mean..." Kong Sizhen looked at Wu Yingxiong.
Wu Yingxiong deliberately lowered his voice and leaned into Kong Sizhen's ear, "Liu Jinzhong is from the Yongwei Camp. He is Emperor Chongzhen's servant. He has secretly communicated with Guangzhou!"
Kong Sizhen's face changed color, "Is this true?"
Wu Yingxiong nodded: "Liu Jinzhong also sent an envoy to Shaoyang, arriving one day later than you... You should know him, the original Guangdong Tixue Xue Zhang! He told the old man that another envoy of Liu Jinzhong, The original Tongzhi Fengming Mountain in Chaozhou Prefecture is now on the way to Guangzhou."
He looked at Kong Sizhen's half-aged face and said, "Fourth sister, you and your brother-in-law are both on Liu Jinzhong's arrest list!"
Kong Sizhen frowned: "I will send Dai Liangchen to Ganzhou Mansion immediately, and I will definitely bring out my two sons!"
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said: "Let me do you a favor. I will write a letter to Sun Yanling and say that the president can let him go to Guangxi to become a general, but he must first hand over his two sons as hostages."
"Okay!" Kong Sizhen nodded heavily, and then looked at Wu Yingxiong gratefully, "Brother Wu, from now on, my little sister can only rely on you to live her life."
Wu Yingxiong patted his chest and said, "Put it on me... We are brothers and sisters sworn to Jinlan!"
