Chapter 73 Wu Sangui, your son made a bad friend by mistake!
The residence of King Wu Sangui of Pingxi stood tall on Wuhua Mountain in Kunming City. This residence was originally the palace of Emperor Yongli. It was the palace of Sun Kewang before, and it was originally a blessed land full of dragon towers and phoenix pavilions. After it fell into Wu Sangui's hands, it was a lot of repairs and repairs. After more than 20 years of operation, it was many times more luxurious and luxurious than when he was in Emperor Yongli.
Moreover, Wu Sangui also regarded the Wuhua Mountain area as his own nest and built rows of warehouses at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, where gold, silver, copper coins were piled up like mountains, and countless weapons and equipment were countless. On both sides of the Yin'an Hall where Wu Sangui's office was in charge, two rows of yamen were built, with the Military and Horse Office, the Salt and Tea Office, the Safe and the Criminal Office, the Foundry Office and other institutions, all of which were imitated by the six yamen of the imperial court, but they had a different name.
At the foot of Wuhua Mountain are the streets and alleys of Kunming City that Wu Sangui has worked hard for many years. Although Kunming's prosperity is not as prosperous as Guangzhou, it is the first place in the southwest today. Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou, the neighboring province, cannot compare with Chengdu, Sichuan, the country of Tianfu, and Chongqing, which is even more incomparable... The entire Sichuan book has more than 10,000 yuan, only one-something that of Kunming. Even considering the issue of hidden households, the population of Sichuan Province is at most hundreds of thousands.
That is a place where tigers wander around in a city, and they compare with some safaris. How can they compare with Kunming? At least there are no tigers in Kunming, and even outside the city, there are no traces of tigers. Even if there were some Yunnan tigers, they were beaten to death by Wu Sangui's men.
At this moment, Wu Sangui, who was sitting in Liecuixuan on the west side of his Yin'an Hall, had a tiger skin taken from a Kunming tiger... or a very precious white tiger skin. The person sitting opposite him was Yang Qilong, who claimed to be the envoy of Zhu San Taisun.
Yang Qilong had actually arrived in Kunming a long time ago, but he did not come in the name of the envoy of Zhu Sansun, but came to Kunming with the note written by Wu Yingxiong to Wu Sangui.
Since he is Wu Yingxiong's friend, Wu Sangui will certainly have someone treat him well - this is called being a wise man!
Wu Sangui never expected that his son Wu Yingxiong, who seemed loyal and cunning, had made a bad friend by mistake!
This Yang Qilong is a bad friend who cheats people!
Just as Wu Sangui received an urgent report from Guangdong, he learned that Mi Sihan was defeated by Jieyang, Yang Qilong came to him with the order of Grandson Zhu San.
Before this, Wu Sangui had already received the news of the "Chongzhen's will" from his cousin Zu Zeqing, and he was restless for several days. Finally, he got good news. In a blink of an eye, another death-seeking little ghost came to his house... and this little ghost is also his son Wu Yingxiong's good friend.
How could Wu Sangui not be in a hurry, how could he not get angry, how could he not want to kill Yang Qilong with one knife?
Yang Qilong looked at the majestic and a bit arrogant, looking at the wolf. He looked like a man Wu Sangui, who looked like a loyal and honest Wu Yingxiong, but he had a smile of a treacherous plan, which made him very annoying. Wu Sangui once suspected that the "Chongzhen will" was forged by Yang Qilong!
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel it is unlikely... The "noble decree" was found by Shang Zhixin from the bandits' nest in Danan Mountain. It is possible that Shang Zhixin can raise the enemy to respect himself, but it should not be so colluded with Prince Zhu San to such an extent. If he really colluded with Prince Zhu San to that extent, Prince Zhu San would not be arrested, and Prince Zhu San would not be trapped in the capital of Guiyu.
Moreover, this will is indeed in line with the situation back then. If Zhu Cijiong had really left Beijing, then Emperor Chongzhen would have left one or several wills with heavy troops.
The ministers who were still in charge of heavy troops and were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty were Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Zheng Zhilong, Qin Liangyu and others. Among them, the strongest one and the closest one to Beijing was undoubtedly Wu Sangui!
Therefore, one of the several wills left by Chongzhen must be given to Wu Sangui!
In addition, after the Yipianshi War, Wu Sangui sent people to look for the three sons of Emperor Chongzhen, but only found the crown prince Zhu Cilang, but did not find King Ding Zhu Cijiang and King Yong Zhu Cizhao. Moreover, Wu Sangui also inquired about the whereabouts of the two kings of Ding and Yong, and the answer he got was "Leave the palace first", and then asked him three questions.
Wu Sangui didn't care back then, but just gave Zhu Ciyang a sum of money to get him as far as he could. Now when he thinks about it, he finally understands that "I'll leave the palace first" means "I've run away long ago"!
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Sangui snorted coldly: "Since you are the third prince Zhu, why don't you explain your purpose early and delay it until today to give me this document? Isn't it too late?"
"Not too late, no too late..." Yang Qilong smiled, "If Yang had taken out this edict a few days earlier, he might have been in a different place!"
"Hmph!" Wu Sangui snorted, "Now the Lone King can't kill you?"
Yang Qilong smiled and shook his head, "The king will not kill Yang now, because today's King Ding is like Nurhaci in the past! Why should the king abandon his enemies and become enemies so that he will not be able to meet again in the future?"
"I'm so arrogant!" Wu Sangui laughed, "What kind of virtue does the Third Prince Zhu have? How dare he compare with Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty?"
Yang Qilong smiled and said, "Look at it... Guangdong Green Camp has been defeated. Who will be the turn next? Pingnan Prince's Mansion or the Green Camp soldiers in the Northern Central Plains? If they are defeated again, the Eight Banners soldiers should be on the way? Can the three or five thousand Eight Banners soldiers take Jieyang? If not... the king's opportunity will come!"
"I have the chance?" Wu Sangui looked at Yang Qilong, "What opportunity?"
Yang Qilong smiled and said, "If only Jiannu had started in the cold and painful place outside the pass without breaking through, and the second master of Xian was rampant in the Central Plains, Jiannu would at most be a situation in Xixia. Now Jiannu has the whole world. Even if King Ding has the ability to reach the sky, if there was no king who raised an army in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shaanxi, at most it would be a situation in which Guangdong and Guangxi could be divided. And if Guangdong and Guangxi resisted the world, it would probably be difficult to last!"
Wu Sangui's face darkened: "Hmph, do you want me to be Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong?"
"King," said Yang Qilong, "Li Zicheng could almost win the world... Besides, if King Wuding made trouble in Guangdong, you are the thorn in the eyes of the Tartar court, and the thorn in the flesh is the first enemy to be eradicated by Kangxi! If you want a good end and want the prince to take your throne safely, you must have a third prince Zhu who can't be gnawed by the Tartar Emperor Kangxi! The third prince Zhu is an enemy or a friend, don't you understand?"
Wu Sangui's face turned pale, "But once Shang Zhixin made the will public, there were countless treacherous ministers in the court who wanted to frame me with this as an excuse!"
Yang Qilong smiled and said, "So what? As long as the third prince does not fall, Kangxi will not dare to touch the king and the prince... He is not confused yet! And the more violent the third prince makes, the more stable he will have to hold on to the king. At that time, the king can pretend to be sick, and maybe he can get the prince back to Yunnan."
Wu Sangui was silent again, his brows became tighter and tighter, as if he was thinking hard. After a while, he didn't say anything, but just picked up the tea bowl... to serve tea and see off the guests!
Yang Qilong stood up tactfully and said goodbye. Seeing him leaving Lie Cuixuan, Wu Sangui coughed. Behind a huge screen behind him, a thin old man in his sixties, wearing a green cloth robe walked out.
The old man looked towards Yang Qilong's back as he walked away and smiled slightly, "Master, why not let me go to Guangdong with this monk Yang!"
"Xuanchu," Wu Sangui looked back at the old man, "then I'll be working hard..."
The old man turned out to be the plot leader of Wu Sangui. Liu Xuanchu was picking up his beard, thinking for a while, and then said to Wu Sangui: "King, you should be sick now."
