On the first day of the seventh month, Wuchang, Chuwangcheng, Cunxin Hall.
Emperor Zhu Da, who showed his face at the Chibi Mountain Camp a few days ago, is currently holding an imperial edict in the palace in Wuchang City. He is sitting on the throne of the Cunxin Hall and smiling at Ba Mian, who is kneeling on the ground to receive the edict. Guanyin Wu Tu.
It is indeed beautiful! She’s beautiful when she’s kneeling, she’s beautiful when she’s standing, and she’s even more beautiful when she’s lying down!
Such a beauty has followed Zhu Heji for several years, serving her wholeheartedly, doing whatever she is asked to do, and being as obedient as a little white rabbit. After serving Zhu Heji, he still had to help Yang Ziyun with the business of the Crystal Palace. After get off work, he also went to pick up and take care of the children, and even gave birth to a daughter for Zhu Heji himself.
It’s really hard work and great results!
But for such a stunning Wu Tu, who was said to be the most beautiful woman in Yunnan, and who served Zhu Heji wholeheartedly, Zhu Heji was so determined to hold Sansi's hand "in vain" that he would not give her a title. Not to mention the concubine, she was not even given a choice of attendants, she was always just a palace servant.
However, Wu Tu was also very determined. He neither cried nor made trouble. When he should "hold hands" with Zhu Heji, he still held them happily, keeping the great sage Zhu satisfied from head to toe. This kind of work attitude finally moved Zhu Heji, the hard-hearted saint and emperor. What he now holds in his hand is the edict naming Wu Tu as his imperial concubine!
In one step, he sealed the imperial concubine directly!
In Zhu Heji's harem, the eldest is of course Queen Qiu Shuzhen, followed by the eldest concubine Ye Yuling, the third is the imperial concubine Bei Jiaxin, followed by the two concubines Zhou Yubing and Yang Ziyun, and now Wu Tu is added , and the one at the bottom is Aoi, who was sealed as a concubine just last month...
"Hehehehe..." Zhu Heji smiled and handed the imperial edict in his hand to Wu Tu, "Xiao Tu, I know that you have been serving me very hard in the past few years, and I have not given you any title. You have no complaints and are still treating me wholeheartedly. Now that I know your sincerity, I will officially make you my concubine. From now on, you will be on the same level as Yu Bing and Zi Yun!"
Wu Tu, with a grateful look on his face, respectfully took the imperial decree handed over by Zhu Heji, kowtowed with tears and said: "Xiao Tu is the daughter of a sinner and a hostage of the enemy... Now Wu Zhou has betrayed his trust and turned into a concubine. His father was also the president and general of Wu Zhou, and was supervising the army in Yuezhou against the heavenly soldiers. Not only did the Holy Emperor not punish Xiaotu, but he also granted Xiaotu a high position. Xiaotu was really too ashamed to deserve it, so he could only serve him redoubled in the future."
Zhu Heji smiled and nodded, and said: "Xiao Tu, you have always been very dedicated, but you are not as good as the big concubine." As he spoke, he turned to Da Bo Ling and said, "Aunt, when Xiao Tu comes back from the wedding, you Just teach her."
Before Da Boling could speak, Wu Tuo, who was kneeling on the ground, interrupted and asked: "Your Majesty, where will I go to visit my bride?"
Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Of course I'm going to Yuezhou... You haven't seen your father for a few years, right? You must miss him very much, right?"
Wu Tu was a smart woman. She knew that Zhu Heji had not given her a status before, not because he didn't like her, but because her father was Wu Guogui who strangled Yongli!
And now Zhu Heji suddenly made her a concubine. Needless to say, it was also because her father Wu Guogui became the president and general of the Zhou army in Yuezhou opposite.
So she quickly kowtowed to Zhu Hejie and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, my father is stubborn, even a little stubborn, and he is even more loyal to the Wu family... If I go to Yue The state persuaded him to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but he was afraid that he would be detained by him and he would never see the Ming Dynasty again in this life!"
It’s okay not to see each other again!
Zhu Heji quickly smiled and said to Wu Tu: "Xiao Tu, don't worry, I won't let you persuade your father to surrender. I just want you to persuade your father to surrender!"
"Fake surrender?" Xiaotuo was stunned, then raised his head and looked at Zhu Heji, "Who are you pretending to surrender to?"
"Of course you are pretending to surrender to me!" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "Zhuge Military Advisor gave me a trick to lure the enemy by pretending to surrender. That is to let your father-in-law pretend to surrender to me, and deceive all the Qing troops in Xiangyang to the vicinity of Yuezhou. , and then annihilate them in one fell swoop...the person responsible for the fake surrender is your father!"
"Yes, but my father is Wu Zhou's general!"
Zhu Heji smiled and said: "I know... Originally I should have written a letter to persuade your father to surrender, but your father was pretending to agree. However, I am an honest gentleman, and your father is a wise general in the world. I feel that it is difficult for me to be honest. Your Majesty fell into the trap, so I changed Zhuge's strategy."
Not everyone can use this secret trick of Zhuge Military Advisor, and even Zhuge San and himself are not very good at using it. Therefore, when Zhuge San and himself were on their own, the battle was far from satisfactory. Only when he gave Zhu Heji a clever plan, the effect was just right.
The reason is that Zhu Heji can revise his clever plans, and his execution ability is particularly strong!
Zhu Heji then said to Xiao Tu: "I have prepared two autographed letters for you to take to Yuezhou. One is a fake letter for your father to take to coax Wu Yingxiong and Kangxi, and the other is my heartfelt words. Here is my real offer... As long as your father agrees to surrender, I can give him one million silver dollars first, and then another million when the deal is done!
If he thinks it's not enough, let him ask for a price. As long as I can get it, it won't be a problem!
In addition, I can also give your father a batch of flintlock guns and sugar pills after confirming that the Qing army has left Xiangjing! "
Wu Tu was stunned.
Is there such an operation?
Zhuge Military Advisor asked you to use a trick, so you just spend money to buy him...
Thinking of this, she still shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, my father is not greedy for money and is loyal to the Wu family. He will not betray Wu Yingxiong."
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Heji said with a smile, "I don't want Wu Yingxiong's life... Wu Yingxiong and I have no grudges. It's just that because of Zhaozong's murder, it's inconvenient for me to surrender him and your father.
But they can run! Now you can go to Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi.
In the future, I will go to Myanmar and Annan and become a king outside the region. At that time, I promise that I will not chase them again. Let them live their whole lives outside the territory, and let their descendants be kings outside the territory for generations to come.
Xiao Tu, do you think your father will agree to such a condition? "
"this......"
Wu Tu didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Zhu Heji took another envelope from Aoi and handed it to Wu Tu, "Xiao Tu, look at this letter."
"This is..." Wu Tuo's face suddenly changed when he saw the handwriting on the envelope, "He, he is still alive?"
This "he" is of course Wu Yingqi! He arrived in Jinzhou, Liaodong, in early June. After seeing him, Liu Jinzhong and Wang Shiyuan immediately sent a clipper south to report the news to Nanjing. At the same time, he also sent a letter of allegiance written by Wu Yingqi himself-the letter of allegiance was more than one page, but now Zhu Heji handed it to Wu Tu with only one page.
The rest are in Zhu Heji's hands and are tools used to blackmail Wu Guogui.
Although Wu Yingxiong believed in Wu Guogui, if he knew that Wu Yingqi was not only still there, but also defected to Zhu Heji, could he still trust Wu Guogui? Even if Wu Guogui is not killed by then, it will still be possible to seize military power and encircle him.
Even if nothing is done, how much trust will remain between the monarch and his subjects?
Zhu Heji's move is still cruel and poisonous... heart-breaking!
Zhu Heji smiled and nodded: "Not only is he alive, but he has also defected to the Ming Dynasty! If Wu Yingxiong knows this, will he still trust your father? If your father's people know this, will they defect to the Ming Dynasty? Xiaotuo, go tell Wu Guogui that it will be easy for me to defeat him! There are many people under his command, including four ministers and five ministers. As long as my bid is high enough, how many of them will not defect? But these are not the people I want. , nor is it Wu Guogui’s head.
I have only one goal...that is Kangxi's Qing Yao! I want to keep as many Qingyao as possible in Huguang, so that the resistance to restoring the Central Plains and going straight to Beijing will be small. In the past few decades, we Han people have died too much. Now there are no people everywhere, but we can no longer kill people to fill the fields and fill the city! "
