The imperial envoy from Nanjing? Still a marquis? Is this really good news?
When Chang Ning heard this, he was so nervous that he almost had a heart attack. Cold sweat covered his forehead. Just when he was thinking about whether to confess to the imperial minister, Wang Fuchen and Liu Xuanchu had already broken into Chang Ning's study.
When Chang Ning saw the two of them, he immediately jumped up from his chair and went to greet them, kneeling down to salute. Wang Fuchen quickly supported him and said with a smile: "What are you doing? Are you trying to undermine me? I have been a loyal minister to the Qing Dynasty for several years."
Liu Xuanchu also had a smile on his face, "My lord, I am so happy... I have been granted the title of marquis! This is a great favor from the emperor. From now on, you can continue to eat, drink, have fun and live a good life with peace of mind."
"An Xin?" Chang Ning burst into tears after hearing this, "Who is this prince granted? Mine or Kangxi's?"
"Aren't you Kangxi?" Wang Fuchen said with a grin, "Aren't you the one who granted Kangxi the title?"
Chang Ning cried anxiously, "But I'm fake! Paper can't contain fire... I pretended to be Kangxi, does this count as a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"No, how can this be considered deceiving the emperor?" Wang Fuchen shook his head repeatedly.
Chang Ning was slightly relieved.
Liu Xuanchu also said: "Yes, this is not bullying the emperor, this is treason!"
"Conspiracy...rebellion?" Chang Ning was so frightened that his legs weakened and he almost sat on the ground, "Why did I rebel?"
"How come you are not treason?" Liu Xuanchu asked, "My lord, think about it, was it treason when you pretended to be the Third Prince Zhu?"
"Yes..." A terrifying atmosphere immediately surrounded Chang Ning.
"Pretending to be Prince Zhu is treason, and pretending to be Emperor Kangxi is certainly treason!"
"But I was forced..."
Liu Xuanchu smiled and said: "Isn't it treason if I am forced to pretend to be the third prince Zhu? If I am caught, I will not be Ling Chi?"
Wang Fuchen shook his head: "It's not that cheap! Anyone who pretends to be the Third Prince Zhu, whether voluntarily or forced, will be punished if caught."
"It seems so..." Chang Ning cried anxiously, "Is it possible that I am treason? Is there no way to survive?"
"Don't worry, don't worry," Liu Xuanchu comforted Chang Ning, "You still have a chance to fight for your life!"
"A glimmer of hope?" Chang Ning muttered in a low voice: "Not a lot! But it's better than nothing."
He thought for a while and asked again: "I wonder where this glimmer of hope is?"
Liu Xuanchu said: "It's about making false come true!"
"Making a lie come true?" Chang Ning looked at Liu Xuanchu, "Liu Military Master, please don't harm me... The paper can't contain the fire! This fake can't be true, and it can't be true. It's already a capital crime for me to pretend to be Kangxi. Now, you still have to turn the lie into the truth. Isn’t this to add guilt to crime?”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Wang Fuchen comforted. "You are already guilty of pretending to be Kangxi. It's already Ling Chi's fault! How can you add to the crime? If you want to exterminate your family, your family has been taken away by the false Holy Duke. We, the Ming Dynasty, want to destroy it." It can’t be destroyed!”
Such comforting words are so wonderful.
"Yes, but if I continue to pretend to be Kangxi, the Holy One will not kill me? The Holy One is very aware of everything. He can't always take me as the real Kangxi, right?" Chang Ning really has a lot of questions - but it's about life, so it's okay to ask more. It should.
"Of course the Holy One knows that you are lying," Liu Xuanchu said, "We have already written it clearly in the report."
In fact, Zhu Heji really didn't know. Because the southeast wind had been blowing in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea during this period, their memorials were still drifting slowly on the sea.
Even when Wang Shiyuan arrived in Beijing on a favorable boat with the imperial edict to confer Kangxi the title of Marquis of Yanen, the report from the Liaodong Army had not yet arrived in Nanjing!
"Now that the Holy One knows about it, where is my chance of survival?" Chang Ning asked puzzledly.
"There are two Kangxis in the world today!" Liu Xuanchu smiled and held out two fingers, "You are one, and there is another one over there in Guihua City! If the Holy One kills you, then the Kangxi in Guihua City will be The only Kangxi in the world!"
Wang Fuchen smiled and said: "For our Ming Dynasty, two Kangxis are better than one!"
Chang Ning understood immediately that the Ming Dynasty regarded him as a tool to split the Qing Dynasty and shake the morale of the Qing Dynasty.
As long as tools are useful, they cannot be thrown away.
Of course, if Kangxi is gone in Guihua City, then Chang Ning's tool will be useless, and he will have to do whatever he wants to kill or behead him.
Chang Ning was not a fool. Thinking of this, he just sighed heavily: "Then I will listen to you two."
Wang Fuchen and Liu Xuanchu looked at each other and smiled - this Chang Ning is quite good!
Liu Xuanchu nodded, took out another envelope, handed it to Chang Ning and said, "Chang Ning, this is a question book I have drawn up for you. You can copy it and give it to the imperial envoy from Nanjing."
"Is it Xie En's question book?" Chang Ning asked as soon as he took the envelope.
"No, you can write Xie En's inscription yourself." Liu Xuanchu said, "This is the inscription that exposes Chang Ning, Prince Gong of the Northern Qing Dynasty, for impersonating Emperor Kangxi."
"Ah?" Chang Ning was stunned, "Shall I expose myself?"
Liu Xuanchu waved his hand, "You didn't expose yourself, it was you who exposed that the Kangxi in Guihua City was actually you, and you are the real Kangxi... Do you understand?"
This is indeed a bit convoluted. To put it simply, Chang Ning in Beijing pretended to be the fake Kangxi and exposed the real Kangxi in Guihua City as Chang Ning pretending to be.
"I understand..." Chang Ning pondered for a while before saying, "I am Kangxi, Kangxi is me...right?"
"Yes, yes, that's pretty much what it means," Liu Xuanchu said with a smile, "Just copy it."
...
Imperial envoy Wang Shiyuan has arrived in Beijing, but he did not go to Yingtai immediately to meet "Kangxi". Instead, he climbed to Jingshan accompanied by Liu Jinzhong - this Wang Shiyuan was actually a rather mediocre figure, incapable of writing or martial arts, and his qualifications It's not that deep, and it doesn't have much credit to show for it, and it's not like "bringing capital into the business". But somehow, he always manages to meet noble people!
The noble person at the beginning was Eunuch Pang, who recommended him to King Zhu Tian and became his master. Later, I don't know why I got "good" with Princess Kunxing again, and she became the prefect of Dengzhou under the promotion of Princess Kunxing. Later, he went to Liaodong with Liu Jinzhong and became the prefect of Jinzhou. After working for a while, Liu Jinzhong rewarded him with a lot of military merits and was promoted to be the censor of Youqiandu. After a few days of serving as the censor, King Zhu Tian promoted him again and asked him to let go of the imperial envoys.
The task of this imperial envoy was not only to read out the edict conferring Kangxi the title of Marquis of Yanen, he also had to evaluate the captured Kangxi. In addition, he also has the task of evaluating Zhili military affairs and government affairs. After completing these tasks, he will most likely be promoted to Chief Envoy of Zhili. Because Zhili will definitely be a frontier area for a long period of time, there will be no governor. Instead, the governor will be in charge of military affairs. The chief of Zhili will be the top leader of civil affairs in Zhili.
And once Beijing becomes one of the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty in the future, Wang Shiyuan will be able to gain the function of "pacifying the old capital" for free, and it is possible to be promoted to governor or stay... This official luck is simply heaven-defying. ah!
However, he can always meet noble people, and Wang Shiyuan, who has an unlucky official career, is not happy at all when he is wandering around Jingshan Mountain. He has a look of sadness on his face, and he keeps asking: "Where is the tree? Where is the tree? Crooked. Where are the neck trees? Why are they gone?"
"No more, no more." Liu Jinzhong followed him with a look of regret on his face, "The real Kangxi was killed... I heard that he always dreamed of going to Jingshan Mountain, so in order to break this dream , let people cut down all the crooked-neck trees on Jingshan Mountain!"
"Not even sparing the trees, it's so abominable!" Wang Shiyuan suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "Zhen Zhijun, did you just say the real Kangxi? Is it possible that there is a fake Kangxi?"
Liu Jinzhong was stunned when he heard this, "Imperial Envoy, you don't know? We have already written it in a joint secret memorial..."
