Chapter 11 Lu Yifeng, Zhongliang of the Qing Dynasty ()

"I said, I said everything, the fourth princess will spare my life!" Seeing Kong Sizhen, who was as beautiful as a flower and as a scorpion, lifted the red-hot iron to him. Feng Xiang, who was afraid that his handsome appearance would be destroyed, was completely panicked, and he didn't care about the dangerous consequences of betraying Wu Sangui. He quickly shouted like a pig: "Four princess, you can say anything to humble your skills, spare my life, the fourth princess--!"

"A naughty man, don't eat the punishment if you toast! I thought your bones could be hard!" Kong Sizhen snorted coldly with a ferocious expression, threw the soldering iron back to the brazier, and replaced it with a habitual charming face, and laughed: "Mr. Lu, please, I will warn you that it is best not to use tricks and use any sweet words to deceive me. Otherwise, if I get angry, Lord Lu will not be as simple as eating a soldering iron."

"I dare not be humble, I dare not be humble." Feng Xiang repeatedly begged for mercy, and while thinking quickly in his heart, he said carefully: "Fourth Princess, then there is a small plea. I hope the fourth Princess must be approved - I hope the fourth Princess will keep the matters you told me to the fourth Princess, I hope the fourth Princess will keep it secret. Otherwise, Prince Pingxi will definitely make Hu Yi die a hundred times more miserable death."

"Of course." Kong Sizhen smiled and pinched Feng Xiang's face, and said sweetly: "As long as Lord Lu tells the truth and listens to my arrangements, I will not only not disclose this matter, but on the contrary, I may also reward you, Lord Lu."

"Thank you, the fourth princess, thank you." Feng Xiang thanked him repeatedly and said, "Then the fourth princess, please ask, I will definitely speak everything, and I will keep the fourth princess satisfied."

"Very good, Lord Lu is very smart." Kong Sizhen nodded with satisfaction, suddenly stopped her smile, and asked in a deep voice: "On the morning of September 18, 1960, you asked to see Wu Sangui at the foot of Wuhua Mountain. After being rejected, you gave Wu Sangui another pulse case. Wu Sangui immediately agreed to meet you. What was written on the pulse case?"

"I wrote sixteen words on the pulse case." Seeing that this matter was not a big deal, Feng Xiang replied truthfully: "The sixteen words are: The root of the disease of the Western King lies in the heart. If you want to eliminate the disease, you must first treat the heart."

"What is the root cause of Wu Sangui's heart disease?" Kong Sizhen asked sternly: "You are a small new county magistrate. You have never been to Kunming, and you have never been to the capital. How did you know where Wu Sangui's heart disease is?"

Kong Sizhen's two problems were still irrelevant. Feng Xiang thought for a while and thought it would be better to tell the truth, so he analyzed how he could analyze Wu Sangui's embarrassing situation through the diary report, and Wu Sangui's test of the imperial court's backfire. Kong Sizhen first said that he refused to believe that Feng Xiang could analyze the secrets of the imperial report publicly issued by the Qing court. Until he sent someone to collect the comparison of the imperial report this year, Kong Sizhen believed Feng Xiang's words and couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Lu, I can't see that you are not amazing, but you are still full of strategy. You can analyze so many things from these trivial matters. It seems that I want to give the emperor a memorial, please pay more attention to the news released in the diary report, but don't let people like you, like Lord. Lu, touch the secrets of the imperial court's actions."

"The fourth princess has been awarded." Feng Xiang replied with a sad face: "After all, Beizhi is just a trick to kill dragons. The fourth princess, you are the art of slaying dragons. On September 18th, Beizhi wrote a letter at the foot of Wuhua Mountain. After just a few days, you can understand the fourth princess clearly. This ability can not catch up even if you have ten thousand years."

"Is that so? The mouth is so sweet." Kong Sizhen smiled happily, pinched Feng Xiang's waist, and said with a giggle: "So sweet-mouthed Lord Lu, now you can tell me what kind of prescription you have prescribed for Uncle Wu Shishi?"

"It's the key." Feng Xiang was a little nervous and said to himself: "Teacher Liu Xuanchu once warned me that I would never let the Tartar court know about the self-respecting strategy I offered to the old traitor Wu Sangui. Otherwise, neither Ao Da Beizi nor Kang Xiaomazi would be spared. But if I don't tell the truth, what words should I use to deal with this female traitor? This female traitor is lewd and cunning. If I reveal some flaws, I'm afraid I can't hide it from her eyes..."

"What are you thinking?" Kong Sizhen suddenly used force on his hand, twisted a hand hard on Feng Xiang's waist, and said sneered: "I warn you that if you dare to play tricks, be careful of your head!"

"Huizhi...Huizhi..." Feng Xiang was anxious. Kong Sizhen's followers picked up the iron again, and stared at Feng Xiang with a poisonous snake-like gaze. He waited for Kong Sizhen to take action together and sold Feng Xiang into Guangxi crispy flesh. Feng Xiang was nervous and had an idea and shouted: "Fourth Princess, if you say it, you must not reveal it - the prescription for the prince is to ask the prince Pingxi to submit to the court and ask for the vassal of his own!"

"Please withdraw the vassal?!" Kong Sizhen was a little suspicious that his ears were wrong. Kong Sizhen's masters hoped that Wu Sangui would withdraw the vassal by himself. After Feng Xiang said this wish and hope in person, Kong Sizhen couldn't believe his ears. In amazement, Kong Sizhen suddenly reached into Feng Xiang's pants, pinched Feng Xiang's most critical part, and said in a dark voice: "Who is the surname Lu, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Do you dare to say in front of Wu Sangui the words that Wu Sangui would ask for the vassal by himself? Do you believe it or not, I can pinch you into a eunuch in one hand?!"

"Damn, how did this female traitor grow up?" Feng Xiang, whose lifeline was pinched, complained in his heart, and asked in his mouth: "Fourth Princess, as a court official, the Qing Dynasty is loyal and kind, why don't you dare to say such things to the prince? If the prince submits a letter to withdraw his vassal, the court's suspicion for the prince will be eliminated. If the court loses suspicion, what else should the prince worry about? The prince's heart disease will be cured? Isn't this prescription for Beizheng?"

"Really?" Kong Sizhen was skeptical, but Feng Xiang's words did make some sense. If Wu Sangui really submitted a letter to ask for the withdrawal of the vassal state, then the suspicion of Kong Sizhen's master would naturally be eliminated. Wu Sangui naturally did not have to worry that the court would be unable to sleep or eat. So after a moment of calculation, Kong Sizhen asked tentatively: "Then how did Prince Pingxi react after you prescribe this prescription for the prince? Have you agreed to use your medicine?"

"The fourth princess is kidding." Feng Xiang said with a wry smile: "How earth-shaking it is to ask for the withdrawal of the vassal state? How could the prince accept it all at once? After Bei Zhi prescribed this prescription, the prince did not speak at all, and did not agree or object."

"Since that's the case, then you go to Beijing to meet the saints as usual. Why don't you take the shortcuts between Guizhou and Hunan, but you have to go to Guangxi and Guangdong?" Kong Sizhen asked calmly: "Also, why did Wu Sangui send his royal guards to protect you? What are you doing in Guangdong?"

"I followed the order of the prince and went to Guangdong to pay tribute to Prince Pingnan." Feng Xiang answered hesitantly, and quickly thought about how to deal with Kong Sizhen's next question. But Kong Sizhen did not give Feng Xiang a chance to consider it, and immediately asked: "Why did Wu Sangui send you to meet Shang Kexi?"

"This..., the words are long." At this point, Feng Xiang could only delay time and find a way to make up reasons. After a little calculation, Feng Xiang blunt his mouth towards his shirt that was stripped away and placed aside, saying, "Fourth Princess, Bei Zhi has a book in that dress, please take it out first."

Kong Sizhen winked at the entourage beside him. A entourage immediately went up and picked up Feng Xiang's top, and found the "Maoxiace Questions" that Liu Xuanchu passed by Feng Xiang from it, and held it in front of Kong Sizhen with both hands. Feng Xiang explained: "Fourth Princess, this "Maoxiace Questions" was given to me by Mr. Liu Xuanchu, the first counselor around Prince Pingxi. The word Maoxia is also Mr. Liu's name, Mr. Liu's self-praise. This book was also written by him."

Kong Sizhen recalled a little and nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Xuanchu has such a font size, but why did that old guy Liu Xuanchu give you this book?"

"Because Mr. Liu Xuanchu's thoughts are the same as those of the humble official, he also hopes that the prince will ask for the vassal of his own vassal." At this point, Feng Xiang had to snatch the head of his hard-core anti-Qing master. He said with stern remarks: "In fact, this time the prince sent the prince to Guangdong to pay homage to Prince Pingnan, which was actually Mr. Liu's idea. Because although Mr. Liu hoped that the prince would ask for the vassal of himself to withdraw the vassal of his own, he also left a loyal reputation for the prince for the emperor for the time being, but there was not only the prince in the world. Even if the prince adopted the advice of Mr. Liu and the humble official, he had to worry about the feelings of Prince Pingnan and Prince Jingnan? He could not ask for the vassal of himself to withdraw the vassal of himself by himself, and became a loyal minister of the court, leaving an eternal reputation for the other two princes?"

"Wu Sangui is really such a kind heart?" Kong Sizhen was a little surprised, thinking that if the old man Wu Sangui could really ask for the vassal of his own and honestly hand over the military power seal, the masters would save a lot of worry. Our Qing Dynasty could have unified the country for tens of thousands of years.

"Fourth Princess, Hu Zhi dares to say something offensive. Do you really distrust the prince?" Feng Xiang said carefully: "If the prince really has a strange intention, then in the 17th year of Shunzhi, why did the prince follow the imperial decree of the court and dismiss the army by half? In the fourth year of Kangxi, why did he voluntarily request a 20% reduction in the burden on the court? The prince and Hu Zhi's loyalty to the court can be demonstrated, and the sun and the moon can be seen, so why can't he actively propose to withdraw the vassal?"

In just five years, Wu Sangui laid off more than 70% of the army twice. This is indeed a fact. It is also a ironclad evidence that Wu Sangui was afraid that the Qing court would suspicion of him and took the initiative to make concessions. Kong Sizhen and Kong Sizhen's masters knew this very well, so Feng Xiang said now, which made Kong Sizhen believe it a little. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Kong Sizhen nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, from the point of Wu Sangui's voluntary request for disarmament, if someone really urges Wu Sangui to voluntarily request the withdrawal of the vassal, Wu Sangui may accept this suggestion."

"Yes." Feng Xiang took the opportunity to say, "The fourth princess clearly understand, Bei Zhi dared not say a lie. Mr. Liu Xuanchu told Bei Zhi himself. After hearing his and Bei Zhi's suggestions, the prince was indeed moved. He wanted to take the initiative to submit a request to withdraw the vassal and return to his hometown in Liaodong to retire. But unfortunately, the prince had to worry about the feelings of the two princes, King Pingnan and King Jingnan, for fear that he would become a leader and offend the two princes. Therefore, Mr. Liu Xuanchu, who was quite appreciative of Bei Zhi, gave the prince another idea, and asked Bei Zhi to take advantage of the opportunity to meet the saint in Beijing to go to Guangdong to ask to meet Prince Pingnan and test the attitude of Prince Pingnan to take the initiative to submit a request to withdraw the vassal."

"Fourth Princess, you must ask, the prince doesn't need to put so many civil and military officials. Why should he send a seventh-rank sesame official like Bei Zhi to be this envoy to test the attitude of Prince Pingnan?" Feng Xiang said endlessly: "Actually, Bei Zhi also asked Mr. Liu Xuanchu like this. As a result, Mr. Liu Xuanchu smiled and asked about Bei Zhi. Among the civil and military officials under the prince, how many would sincerely support the prince to voluntarily request the court to withdraw the vassal? In addition to Bei Zhi, a seventh-rank sesame official who is loyal to the court and the prince, how many would do their best to persuade Prince Pingnan and Prince Pingxi to jointly submit a letter and voluntarily request the court to withdraw the vassal?"

"No," Kong Sizhen finally believed some of Feng Xiang's words and said in his heart: "This fat man Lu is right. Wu Sangui has disarmament twice, and has placed his eldest son Wu Yingxiong as a hostage in Beijing, and hanged the barbarian emperor Yongli with his own hands. From these aspects, Wu Sangui is likely to accept the suggestion of actively requesting the withdrawal of the vassal. But even if Wu Sangui agrees, the people under Wu Sangui, such as Wu Yingqi, Xia Guoqi, and Ma Bao, will definitely not support Wu Sangui's decision. After all, their glory and wealth are all attached to Wu Sangui. If Wu Sangui takes the initiative to request the withdrawal of the vassal without power, how can they enjoy the glory and wealth, money and handsome men?"

"Okay, this little girl believes it a little." Feng Xiang observed his words and found that Kong Sizhen was shaken and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Fourth Princess, now you should know why Mr. Liu Xuanchu gave this book to Beizhi, and why did he send the prince to Guangdong? Because there are so many people under the prince, only Beizhi, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, publicly expressed his support for the prince to ask for the prince to withdraw his vassal. Just like Mr. Liu Xuanchu's thoughts, in order to get the prince to adopt our suggestions, Mr. Liu Xuanchu left a loyal name for eternal loyalty. In addition to sending Beizhi to Guangdong, who else can he send?"

"That's true. If this Fatty Lu can really successfully persuade Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui to jointly submit a letter to request the withdrawal of the vassal, then the only one who suffers the damage will be the confidant of Wu Sangui. This Fatty Lu can make great contributions to the court and become a hero of the court." Kong Sizhen finally believed Feng Xiang's words, and at the same time was secretly happy. If he could use this Fatty Lu to convince Wu Sangui to request the withdrawal of the vassal at the same time, then he would have really made great contributions to the masters.

"So, Lord Lu, I have flooded the Dragon King Temple with you this time." After thinking for a long time, Kong Sizhen's pretty face showed a charming smile again, and she laughed: "But Lord Lu, I have another thing very strange. Since you are thinking about the court and want to persuade Prince Pingxi to ask for the withdrawal of the vassal state, then when I send Guangxi troops to secretly monitor you, why do you want to escape from my pursuers? And after being captured alive by my slave, you have already guessed the identity of my slave, so why don't you report this matter directly to me? You have to be punished before you can explain it?"

"Can you say, Lord Lu, you are guilty?" With a smirk, Kong Sizhen's smile became ferocious again, staring at Feng Xiang's eyes and said word by word: "Or, Lord Lu, none of your words are true, it's just that my knife is placed on my neck, so I made up these words to deceive me?"

"Unforgive! Unjust, Humiliation! Fourth Princess, you are unjustly killed!" Feng Xiang cursed Kong Sizhen in his heart and thought quickly. After calling four unjust, Feng Xiang had found an excuse and quickly explained: "Four Princess, who are you? The only daughter of Prince Kong, the only daughter of Prince Kong, and the only heir of Prince Kong, Dingfan, the only heir of Prince Kong, Dingfan. How do you know that Fourth Princess, do you support Prince Pingxi's voluntary request to withdraw from the vassal? What if Fourth Princess, you are reluctant to withdraw from the vassal and give up Guangxi? Is that life still there?"

"Hey, why did I forget my own position?" Kong Sizhen thought about it carefully and couldn't help laughing. He was loyal to the court. He came to Guangxi to monitor Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi and other people, and tried every means to eliminate the Three Feudals for his masters. But his political stances and political purposes have always been hidden well in normal times. Almost no one except a few confidant followers know it. No wonder Lu Yifeng was afraid of himself like this. After all, persuading Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to take the initiative to request the withdrawal of the feudals was a matter of offending the four feudals of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian. If one is not done well, he will die on the streets.

"Okay, Lord Lu, I am very satisfied with your answer." Kong Sizhen chuckled again and turned around and ordered: "Put down Lord Lu, apply medicine to him, take a shower and change clothes to see me." After that, Kong Sizhen turned around and threw a charming and teasing look at Feng Xiang, and giggled and left with a long smile.
