Chapter 24 Rescue the Difficulties, the Third Prince Zhu,
Beijing, Shihu Hutong, Jianning Princess Mansion.
This mansion is the residence of Princess Heshuo Jianning Ajige and her husband, Prince Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi.
Although the male and female hostess here are Huang Taiji's daughter, the aunt of Emperor Kangxi, and the other is the prince of Wu Sangui, the powerful King of Pingxi. However, this house is simple and outdated. What did Ajige look like when he took over the place (the year when the Qing Dynasty settled Beijing)? What did he still look like now? He has not had any decorations. He is so low-key that he can't be low-key anymore. If he hadn't known in advance, no one would have thought that the people living here would be Wu Sangui's prince and Huang Taiji's daughter.
But even though Wu Yingxiong was so low-key that he almost became an invisible person, his life was getting harder and harder. Especially after Oboi fell, Wu Yingxiong obviously felt in danger, and felt that there were some powerful characters hidden around his mansion. The two words "Three Feudatories" also made him feel panicked... Emperor Kangxi, who took Oboi mercilessly and ignored Oboi's past loyalty and killed this old guy in prison, had already written the six big words "Three Feudatories", "River Affairs" and "Cache Transport" on the pillars of the Nanshu Room!
Nanshufang is the place where Oboi was arrested!
This is going to attack Sanfan!
What made Wu Yingxiong even more desperate was that Emperor Kangxi granted the prince of Shang Kexi of Pingnan King last year to return to Guangdong to assist his father in government and military affairs. At the same time, he ignored Wu Sangui, who was sick, and did not mention Wu Yingxiong's return to Yunnan to assist the vassal affairs... Geng Jimao, the King of Jingnan in Fujian, died in the first month of this year, and Geng Jingzhong had successfully succeeded to the throne.
This clearly means treating the Three Feudalists differently and focusing on attacking the Pingxi Wang family.
After Shang Zhixin left Beijing, Wu Yingxiong's mood became increasingly depressed. In addition to the court meetings that had to show up and other official activities that had to attend, he, the prince of the Pingxi King, was a big otakus who stayed behind closed doors.
Moreover, he was depressed when he stayed at home. He was apart from drinking and chanting "Amitabha" with Zen Master Qilong of Ciyuan Temple. He didn't even pay much attention to Princess Jianning, who had always had a good relationship.
This Princess Jianning is not the same as the willful, willful and a bit masochistic in "The Deer and the Cauldron". She is the daughter of the fat man Huang Taiji, and her mother is a Mongolian, so she is naturally not small... This Princess Jianning is bigger than Wu Yingxiong!
Wu Yingxiong is not a handsome guy. He is just a short and fat man with thin eyebrows and big eyes and thick lips. He looks simple and honest. When he first got married to Princess Jianning, he was just a fool. But for more than 20 years, he has been hostage, especially in recent years, he has been scared by Kangxi, the "benevolent king" who has been in charge of politics every day, which makes him feel a little depressed.
But for some reason today, Wu Yingxiong, who came back from court, actually walked into the door of the mansion in Shihu Hutong hummed a small song, and was carrying a basket of Dashunzhai's moon cakes. Seeing his fat lady, he smiled in advance and said, "Prince, Dashunzhai's moon cakes are freshly baked... Do you have a good appetite, let's get ten to eat?"
Princess Jianning was stunned and stunned, "Mr., have you left the court and went to the outer city?"
In this era, the inner city of Beijing was very deserted. It was a bannerman city. Those who were not in the banner were not allowed to live in the inner city, let alone start a business. Therefore, the transactions in Beijing were basically in the outer city. When officials went to the court to go out for consumption and then do a big health care, they had to go to the outer city.
Since the news that Emperor Yongli was killed by his father reached Beijing, Wu Yingxiong rarely went to the outer city to spend money... It was not because he was afraid of being killed quietly by the Ming Dynasty's survivors, but because he knew the reason why he had to hide his bow, but because he was low-key and low-key!
Wu Sangui's old bird is in Yunnan and I don't know how difficult it is to serve the master of Beijing. Wu Yingxiong is with the king every day like a tiger, so of course he knows this truth.
"Yes, I went to the outer city," Wu Yingxiong smiled, "Is the Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? Monk Zhilong, Geng Zhaozhong and others went to Dashunzhai for a meal. When they saw a newly prepared mutton-filled mooncake, they bought a basket and came back."
"What?" Princess Jianning took the basket and pulled her husband to the mansion together, walked into the inner hall, then frowned and asked, "What happened? You have been keeping your own life for more than 20 years. How dare you have dinner with them today? Are you not afraid of someone chewing on the ground in front of Master Long Live?"
Wu Yingxiong waved his hand and smiled, "Father, I'm going to hide my strength and keep a low profile for more than 20 years, but I've seen through it for a long time... Under our ruler, Long Live Master, it's useless to pretend to be a grandson!"
"Then are you pretending?"
Wu Yingxiong smiled bitterly: "It's just a lie to yourself!"
"What's wrong today?" Princess Jianning half-joking, "It's going to be a holiday, won't you cheat?"
Wu Yingxiong shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the holidays but happy!"
"Good? Why?"
"Because the three of us have met living Bodhisattvas who have saved the suffering and suffered!"
"The living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and the suffering? Who?"
"Prince Zhu San!" Wu Yingxiong lowered his voice, "Prince Zhu, do you know? Prince Zhu San rebelled in Chaozhou... He killed the young 200 flag soldiers of Xushun Gong Mansion one after another! A subordinate of the sect is almost gone. Haha, this Prince Zhu San is really powerful, it seems to be a real person!"
The news that Wu Yingxiong asked for from Shang Zhilong and Geng Zhaozhong was of course more timely than the news that Emperor Kangxi received.
The two families of Shang Zhilong and Geng Zhaozhong are in Guangzhou and Fuzhou have always maintained Feige communication. Although Feige's letters cannot be used to send top-secret information, the real-time war report between Xushun Gongfu and Prince Zhu San is not a top-secret.
Therefore, the news that Shang and Geng got was more timely and more accurate than Kangxi - they already knew the losses caused to the Xushun Duke Mansion when Zhu Hesheng broke through, and also learned how many flag soldiers of the Xushun Duke Mansion were seriously injured? These two numbers plus the deaths in the previous "Empty City Strategy Battle" and the number of missing people, the Xushun Duke Mansion had lost more than 180 people, and those who were seriously injured and disabled can't be beaten by 200!
Wu Yingxiong smiled again: "Now we can finally have a few years of peace and prosperity!"
"How many years?" Princess Jianning was still a little worried. "If Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong were going to send troops to fight, how many years could this third prince Zhu last?"
"How can I bear to fight hard?" Wu Yingxiong shook his head and said, "I regretted it to death when I killed Emperor Yongli last time. This time I finally hoped that the Third Prince Zhu came here. I was quite capable of fighting and could not be raised well. Shang Kexi may be old and confused, but Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong are still young!
In addition, Liu Jinzhong from Chao Town is also Geng Jingzhong's man and will not make great efforts. Deng Guangming is alone and is unable to get rid of the tiger. If the emperor really wants to wipe out the third prince of Zhu, he has to send troops south from the north. If Shang and Geng Erfan are smarter, then some bad battles will be easier to fight. In this way, I will always be at peace for a few years..."
"It will be better for a few years..." Princess Jianning thought to herself: "In a few years, Wu Sangui may die. The emperor can't stop the prince from taking over the throne, right? As long as he arrives in Yunnan, the emperor will be far away!"
Just as I was thinking, I heard a ummy cough outside the door, and then the voice of Wu Yingxiong's eldest son Wu Shilin came: "Ama, the monk Qilong from Ciyuan Temple is here to chant scriptures with you again."
"Okay, I'll be here soon!" Wu Yingxiong agreed, and then smiled at his wife Princess Jianning, "Grandpa, this third prince of Chaozhou can get up, maybe it's the Bodhisattva who is blessing me, so you still have to recite this sutra... You can eat a few mooncakes first, I'll go and recite the sutra with the monk Yang for a while, don't eat them all, leave two for me."
Princess Jianning glared at Wu Yingxiong after hearing this: "I understand! Where can I eat the whole basket?"
