Chapter 665 Open the door and let Kangxi go!
An imperial envoy from Nanjing? Also granted the title of 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 envoy, 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 forward to greet him, kneeling down to salute. Wang Fuchen quickly supported him and said with a smile: "What are you doing? Are you trying to defeat me?"
No matter what, I have served as 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 the 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 softened and he almost sat down on the ground, "Why did I rebel?"
"How come you are not treason?" Liu Xuanchu said, "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 the Third Prince Zhu is treason, and pretending to be Emperor Kangxi is certainly treason!"
"But I was forced..."
Liu Xuanchu smiled and said: "Isn't being forced to pretend to be the third prince Zhu a treason? If you are caught, you won't be punished?"
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 be anxious, don't be anxious," Liu Xuanchu comforted Chang Ning, "You still have a glimmer of hope to fight for!"
"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 Junshang, please don't harm me... The paper can't contain the fire! This fake can't be true, and it can't be true. I pretended to be Kangxi and it's already a capital crime.
Now, you still have to turn the lie into the truth. Isn’t this to add insult to injury?”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Wang Fuchen comforted. "It's already Ling Chi's crime for you to pretend to be Kangxi. It's a perfect match! 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, Your Majesty will not kill me? Your Majesty is very aware of everything. You can't always take me as the real Kangxi, right?" Chang Ning has a lot of questions - but it is 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 during this period of time, the southeast wind was always blowing in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, so their memorials were still floating 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, "It wasn't you who exposed yourself, it was you who exposed that the Kangxi of 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 Kangxi and exposed the real Kangxi in Guihua City as Chang Ning pretending to be Kangxi.
"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 see "Kangxi". Instead, he went to Jingshan accompanied by Liu Jinzhong - this Wang Shiyuan was actually a rather mediocre figure, incapable of writing or martial arts, and his qualifications
He's not very experienced, and he doesn't have much credit to show for it, and he's not someone who "brings money to join the company." 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 the master of King Zhu Tian. Later, for some reason, he became "good" with Princess Kunxing, and was promoted to Dengzhou by Princess Kunxing.
Prefect. 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 become the censor of Youqiandu. The censor did it
A few days later, King Zhu Tian promoted him again and asked him to release the imperial envoy.
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 had the task of evaluating Zhili military and government affairs. After completing these tasks
, there is a high probability that he will be promoted to the post of Chief Envoy of Zhili. Because Zhili will definitely be a frontier area for a long time, there will be no governor. Instead, the governor will be in charge of military affairs. The Chief of Zhili is the Zhili Governor.
He is now the top leader in civil affairs.
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’s the neck tree? Why is it 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 at this time and turned around and asked, "Zhen Zhijun, did you just say that the real Kangxi was there? Is it possible that there is a fake Kangxi?"
Chapter completed!
