It was Fang Shiyu's brother Fang Meiyu who returned to Nanyang with Nalan Xingde to contact Nalan Mingzhu. Different from the development path of his brothers who entered the military academy and studied as soldiers, Fang Meiyu, who was several years older than Fang Shiyu, joined the Jinyi Guards and became a Tiqi after the Guangfu Restoration War. Later, he was transferred to the Yousi Department of the Military Advisor's Office and became an investigative officer.
Both the Scout Envoy and the Tiqi are "secret agents", one is for internal use and the other is for external use.
Among them, Tiqi is an internal one, responsible for finding out the Qing demon lackeys and Confucian rebels lurking inside the Ming Dynasty!
The reconnaissance envoys are external, mainly conducting intelligence work on the territories of Qing Yao and Wu Zhou. Many Confucian disciples who sneaked out of the Ming Dynasty territory actually had a secret identity as investigators.
Fang Meiyu has been operating in Wu Zhou's territory in Huguang. However, he did not open a school and develop his power on Wu Zhou's territory as a Confucian disciple. Instead, he joined Confucianism - because of the existence of Huang Zhisheng, a Confucian leader, it was not difficult for Ming Dynasty's detectives to infiltrate Confucianism.
After the recovery of most of Huguang, the Confucian forces in Huguang were also severely weakened and temporarily dormant. . But Fang Meiyu did not hide with them. Instead, she transferred to the staff department of the Marching Division Mansion and the Huguang Governor's Yamen, and continued to serve as his investigator.
Because she had to frequently travel in and out of areas controlled by the Qing Dynasty, Fang Meiyu still wore a braid that looked like a money rat tail. Moreover, he also developed a standard Beijing dialect and learned Manchurian. It is not difficult at all for a banner man or slave from Beijing to appear.
So now he pretended to be Nalanxingde's Goshiha, and the two of them rode two walking horses, pretending to break out from the battlefield, and ran all the way back to Nanyang.
Nalan Xingde had the status of a first-class bodyguard and could directly enter Kangxi's residence. Although Fang Meiyu was not a bodyguard, Nalan Xingde got him a Zhenghuang Banner cotton-padded armor and a token for a Zhenghuang Banner new army cavalry soldier, so they joined the army together. Of course, the horse soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner can go to the palace to guard the palace, but their range of activities in the palace is very small, and they cannot be compared with the same-class guards.
However, the square in front of the main hall of the palace can still be visited by the horse soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner. So after Nalan Xingde arrived in Nanyang, he took Fang Meiyu there directly.
When the two arrived, Kangxi's morning dynasty had already ended, and the political discussions in the South Study Room had not yet begun. Most of the officials who had gathered in the square in front of the main hall of the palace during the morning dynasty had dispersed. Only a few high-ranking officials were kneeling on the ground, and there was an unlucky man who had his official uniform and trousers taken off, lying next to the kneeling officials and being slapped!
The board was hit quite hard, making a "snap, snap, snap" sound. The man who was beaten was also quite miserable, and he let out bursts of wailing!
While wailing, he was confessing his sins and begging for mercy!
"Ah! Ah! Servant Mingzhu has realized his sin... Servant Mingzhu thanks Master for his grace..."
It turned out that the person who was being beaten was Nalan Xingde’s Amanalan Pearl. This was certainly not a coincidence. When Nalan Xingde entered the city, someone immediately ran to inform Nalan Mingzhu, Kangxi and several others. The minister of the south study room is here.
After receiving the notice, Mingzhu had no choice but to run to Kangxi's palace and have someone beat her up... It was a cruel trick, so of course she had to be beaten hard!
And Kangxi had to play the role of a moody and foolish king. When he heard Mingzhu confessing and begging for mercy, he had to pretend to be angry and curse: "You useless slave, everyone else won the battle, but you lost the battle, and you Yehenala clan are all What is it? Beat me, beat me hard!"
"Hey! Mingxiang, I'm sorry!"
"Ming Xiang, please bear with the pain!"
The two eunuchs who were playing with the board didn't know the inside story. When they heard the emperor's concession, they had to do it heavily. So after the two eunuchs said hello to Mingzhu, they used all their strength to pick up the board and hit Mingzhu's butt!
Mingzhu is in trouble now. Those few blows just now were not real beatings. If they were, would he still be able to read his lines? All he could do was scream like a slaughtered pig.
Hearing that Mingzhu turned into a "killing pig", Kangxi also knew that something was wrong. This was a serious blow!
But the problem is that he can't make those two stupid eunuchs take it lightly... Nalan Xingde has already brought the spectators!
So Kangxi had no choice but to look at Nalan Xingde with apologetic eyes, and Nalan Xingde was also dumbfounded. Is this torture trick so real? Can't you just say hello? If his Ama was beaten to death, Kangxi, the foolish emperor, would become Nalan Xingde's father-killing enemy.
Thinking of this, Nalan Xingde, who was already weak and overworked in the past few days, couldn't hold on any longer, his vision went dark and he fainted.
Fang Meiyu, who was standing next to him, was quick-sighted and immediately reached out to support Nalan Xingde.
Seeing Nalan Xingde fainted, Kangxi was also relieved and said quickly to Xiao Guizi beside him: "Xiao Guizi, Xingde seems to have fainted. Send him back home quickly."
"嗻."
Little Guizi's father-in-law was quite clever and immediately rushed up and took Nalan Xingde away with Fang Meiyu. As soon as Nalan Xingde left, Kangxi quickly signaled to the two silly eunuchs to stop. Then I ran over to check Mingzhu's butt in person... Her butt was almost smashed, it was purple, red and blue, and it hurt just to look at it!
However, the effect of this bitter meat trick has now been fully achieved!
Kangxi thought to himself: "With this effect, Zhuge Yaodao should be able to be fooled...unless he can really count!"
...
"Prime Minister, that was a real beating! That Mingzhu was really beaten badly, her butt was rotten... Fortunately, Nalan Xingde was weak and sick, and he always kept garlic medicine to extend his life, so Mingzhu's butt could still be saved. Otherwise this ass will be useless.”
Fang Meiyu didn't stay in Nanyang for long, and returned to the Lumen Mountain Camp in Xiangyang Prefecture with Nalan Mingzhu's autographed letter, where she met Zhuge Sanhe, who was good at pinching and calculating, and Zhuge Zhengyang, who was good at fighting.
Zhuge Sanhe was listening to him with great interest about Mingzhu getting hit with a brick, with a look of gloating on his face. Zhuge Zhengyang, on the other hand, read Mingzhu's autographed letter word for word.
After reading it, she coughed and told Fang Meiyu to stop being such a bad ass to Mingzhu.
Zhuge Sanhe looked back at his son, "What did the letter say? Did you want to sell Kangxi?"
Zhuge Zhengyang nodded: "Abba, this Pearl said in the letter that she can be our internal agent and help us take Nanyang and kill Kangxi..."
"Can't be killed..." Zhuge Sanhe waved his hand, "Kangxi is not a short-lived prime minister, he can live to at least forty years old!"
"Abba, could you please stop telling fortunes about military and national affairs?" Zhuge Zhengyang looked at his father with a bit of disdain.
Zhuge Sanhe smiled and said: "Well, as a father, I will teach you some experience in the arena... The most dangerous thing in the arena is always the human heart, so don't trust others easily. You have to test it again and again. Him, test him, and finally come to a conclusion.
You have never seen Nalan Pearl, and you have only met Nalan Xingde once. Can we believe what they say? I don't think that's possible. "
This time, Nalan Mingzhu's trick was in vain - Emperor Kangxi met not an opponent from a young master's background, but an "old socialite" who had been at the bottom of society for most of his life... who was used to the harshness of the world and people's hearts. Sinister, how can it be so easy to trust others?
He has seen a lot of such things as bitter meat schemes!
"Abba, let's..."
Zhuge Sanhe squinted his eyes and shook his goose-feather fan, "You can have the intention of harming others, but you can't have the intention of guarding against others! We must have him harm us... so we must take a preventive plan first. "
"Abba, what do you want to do?" Zhuge Zhengyang asked.
Zhuge Sanhe said: "Tell Mingzhu that we are going to send 50,000 troops to attack Xinye, and ask him to try to delay the Qing cavalry in Nanyang. If he really surrenders to us, then he will help us solve the problem. Otherwise, He told Kangxi and then set up an ambush in Xinye! And we must first think that he is committing a cruel trick... Do you understand?"
