Chapter 25 The twenty-fifth chapter governs Princess Diao Nu, establishes a family law, accepts unbridled guards and passes on military orders

Fu Honglie and He Zhiming came to see Kong Sizhen in the rain, and told her that the iron beggar Wu Liuyi did not die of a sudden illness, but was framed.Moreover, it was Shang Zhixin, Ma Xiong and Dai Liangchen who killed Wu Liuyi.Kong Sizhen was quite surprised, and was about to ask again, when He Zhiming's eyes flashed, and he added: I'm afraid it's not just the three of them, but also Wang Shirong who will be drinking with his son-in-law tonight.But Fu Honglie shook his head and said, "Hey, Brother He, Wang Shirong was not there at the time, there are witnesses for this."

He Zhiming sneered and said: Wang Shirong is delicate and elegant, looks like a beautiful woman, and is versatile. Even brother Honglie loves him very much, but he doesn't know that this person is vicious.I can conclude that killing Junmen must be his mastermind.Brother Fu, sooner or later you will suffer from him! " Kong Sizhen didn't pay attention to their dispute, this situation happened so suddenly, she couldn't accept and digest it for a while.Ma Xiong and Dai Liangchen are people close to him, would they do such a thing?She stood up and pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, tapped lightly with her fingers, the sword made a struggling sound, and after a long time, she thought deeply and said: "My lords, of course I believe your words. It's no small matter! Wu Liuyi is not easy to mess with, how could someone kill him so easily..."

Fu Honglie said: "According to the nursing mother, they used slow-release poison. Originally, they planned to kill Wu Junmen slowly. But they were afraid that the Holy Majesty would send the imperial physician to treat Wu Liuyi when he received a report of his illness. Poisonous poisoned wine——After Wu Junmen found out that he had been tricked at the banquet, he drew his sword and killed twelve palace guards in a row, and even cut Ma Xiong's face and legs..." Kong Sizhen was furious, and said sharply, "Call your witness! I want to inquire about this case in Guilin!"

He Zhiming hurriedly dissuaded: "Princess, no, no! We are not here to sue, but just to explain the truth to the princess alone, please take precautions and pay attention! Princess! Although there are many old friends in front of the tent, they are no longer the old people's heart "Although there are many soldiers below, how many people can use their lives, even if this matter is appealed to the court, I am afraid that it will not be heard, not to mention that you are in a dangerous situation, let alone intervene in this case, once there is a drastic change, it will have a lot to do with it!"

"I ask the princess to plan for the worst." Fu Honglie said, "The lower official has secretly trained three thousand soldiers in case of emergency. In case something unexpected happens, the princess can go to the lower official to avoid it temporarily." Before Fu Honglie could finish speaking, Kong Sizhen suddenly laughed loudly: "You two really look at me like an ordinary woman! If Guangxi is not a dangerous place, what would the Holy Majesty want me to do? There are more than 60,000 soldiers in the armed forces, and they have been married to my father for decades. Ma Xiong didn't think about it, if he killed me, Kong Sizhen, his own army would be in disarray first! As long as I'm in Guangxi for one day, even if they rebel, they won't be able to deal with the court with all their strength—Master Fu, don't worry, go back to train your army, it will be useful When the time comes, I will look for you; Mr. He, bring me a copy of the secret book when you return to Beijing, and I will ask for a little military time for Mr. Fu."

"Okay! The officer obeys." Kong Sizhen's face suddenly sank, "Green Monkey! Tell Liu Chunliang to tell Dai Liangchen to bring all the generals from the Baoyi family over!" He smiled at Fu Honglie and He Zhiming, and Fu and He looked at each other. what to do. Thirty or forty generals braved the rain and came to the main hall.Dai Liangchen walked in, looked at the two strangers uneasily, knelt down and said: "Slave Dai Liangchen led his slave Liu Chunliang and other forty-three people to come here. I salute the master!" Dozens of bags Yi Nucai knelt down on the ground following Hei Yaya.

"You stand forward!" Kong Sizhen stared at Dai Liangchen with eyes like a knife like a sword, and said with a sneer: "What a Dai Liangchen, a good slave trained by our Kong family!"Good job you did! " "I don't know what the slave did wrong..." "Huh?" Kong Sizhen smiled coldly, and stared at the trembling Dai Liangchen with his hands behind his back, "Let me ask you: where did the scar on Ma Xiong's face come from, and what happened to his leg?" "Princess! I heard that she fell from a horse... and was caught by bamboo stubble..."

"Okay, you still refuse to tell the truth, hey, are you my family's slave?" "Yes, yes, the slave family has served the prince for three generations." Well, do you remember how that Baoer died? " "It's... it's put in... a red-hot iron cage..." "Well, good memory! Liu Chunliang, set fire! Qing Houer, don't you like to watch murder and set fire? Auntie showed you a new trick! Although Fu Honglie and He Zhiming next to him remained calm, seeing Kong Sizhen's family law is so cruel. , My heart is also chilling. Dai Liangchen's face was ashes, and he wailed with sobs, hurriedly climbed a few steps and knelt in front of Kong Sizhen's feet: "No! I can't, master! It was all forced by Ma Junmen and the others... I didn't hurt Wu Junmen's finger Head... I beg the master to be merciful, be merciful!"

"Hmph! Ma Junmen is your master?" Kong Sizhen was expressionless, and threw a dagger over with a "bass", "Wu Junmen is a high-ranking official of the imperial court. He was ordered to go to Guangzhou to contain the San Francisco. I was killed by you rats only one month after I took office, how can I spare you—for the sake of serving me for many years, I allow you to end it yourself!" Dai Liangchen said, "Thank you, Princess!" He felt that he had been pardoned from being tortured in the fire cage, so he grabbed the dagger without hesitation, and leaned back to stab it down.

"Slow down!" He Zhiming waved his hand to stop Dai Liangchen, and said with a smile to Kong Sizhen, "Princess, I'm begging for a good minister. Although he died for a crime, he is not the mastermind after all. The princess might as well show mercy and allow him to do so outside the law." How about taking a crime and doing meritorious deeds?" Kong Sizhen appreciated He Zhiming's intelligence very much, but pretended to be contemplative, and said after a while: "Okay, for Mr. He's sake, send your dog's head first. You packers will temporarily serve as my guards from tonight onwards. It's up to you to lead, do you hear me?"

"tie"!Dai Liangchen was dripping with sweat, "Thank you, master, for not killing me, and Mr. He for saving my life!" "Let me ask you, where did the forehead go today?" "Drink at Juxian Tower." "Well! Who is the guest and who will accompany him?" "Back to the princess, Wu Shicong and Wang Turong, the grandsons of Wu Sangui, are invited. Ma Xiong and..." This sudden incident made Kong Sizhen's blood boil, she couldn't tolerate evil people appearing in her father's subordinates, and she couldn't tolerate her husband's behavior of making herself empty.She wants to take back her father's military power and control the situation in Guizhou.Thinking of this, he said to He Zhiming and Fu Honglie: "Unfortunately, there is such an unworthy person in the family, which made the two adults laugh. Please, I will come to the door some other day to thank you." Turning around and calling: "Dai Liangchen, take me to Juxianlou !" On Juxian Tower, the banquet held for guests from afar is drawing to a close.Wu Sangui's grandson Wu Shicong and counselor Wang Turong were the hostesses and guests, already drunk and still singing tunes and laughing loudly and lowly, but it might as well be that Kong Sizhen brought his family and guards broke in suddenly.Accompanying guests here, including Sun Yanling, are all soldiers selected by Kong Youde, Prince of Dingnan.For the prince's beloved daughter, Kong Sizhen, who has a legendary experience and has the status of a princess and a first-class bodyguard, has always been in awe.At this moment, I saw her coming upstairs angrily.Stop drinking what you are drinking, and stop eating what you are eating.All of them turned pale in shock, stood up together, and then knelt down together: "I didn't know the princess was coming, but the general couldn't wait for the arrival, please forgive me, princess." Kong Sizhen ignored them at all, pointed to Wu Shicong and Wang Shirong and said, "Forgive me, Mr. Wu and Mr. Wang, it is already late at night. Please go back to the post house to rest. Liu Chunliang—see off the guests!" Seeing that the princess was coming in a bad way, the two opened their mouths and issued an order to chase away the guest, not daring to say more, so they had to walk out in despair. "Sun Yanling!" "The humble job is here!" "The imperial court appointed you as the general of Shangzhu Kingdom and ordered you to assist me in governing Guangxi. You should understand that Guangxi has been an important border area since ancient times. It controls Fujian and Guangdong in the east, and connects Guizhou and Yunnan in the west. The mountains and rivers are dangerous, and Miao and Yao live together. Now these two places are Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. , the army’s mind is uncertain, the people’s mind is uneasy, rumors are everywhere, bandits are everywhere, it is not a time for peace and feasting. You and I were ordered to come here to guard, I hope you will cherish yourself and help me govern the army and keep the people safe.” What he said was watertight, reasonable and polite, but everyone present could hear it.The princess is about to take back her military power!Everyone was terrified and afraid, not daring to look up.Sun Yanling's arrogance was also broken, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, the last general will obey the princess' order!" "Well, that's good. If you are willing to do it for me, of course I will do it for you. We are always husband and wife. From now on, you will be your general of the Shangzhu Kingdom. You will still be in charge of the army and horse training, and the marching and formation. However—the promotion of the general, the transfer of the army, as well as the official exchanges with the governor's office, feudal towns, and neighboring provinces, military affairs, we have to discuss it; because I don't know the situation, I can't go to the court. Tell me, right?" "Yes, yes, the general obeys!" "Also, since you want to help me with my affairs in Guilin, it's better not to have any contact with those messy idlers!" "tie!" "Pass down my order. At Xingyuantai tomorrow, gather all the generals above the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. I will read out the emperor's imperial edict and reiterate the military order! Yanling, let's go, let's go back to the mansion together! You all return to the defense area too !" Wang Shirong and Wu Shicong, the grandson of Wu Sangui, came to Guangxi, which was the last stop of their plot.With Wu Sangui's will, they lobbied in the San Francisco, and they had already played a few hard cards, trying to force Kangxi to make a decision on the important matter of withdrawing the clan. Shang Kexi was the first to appear.In the name of old age, he asked the emperor to allow him to return to Liaodong to retire.Let his son Shang Zhixin succeed him as Pingnan King and guard Guangdong.Not long after this memorial was published, there was a lot of discussion in the imperial court, some said it should be approved, some said it could not, each had their own reasons, but they were all afraid of offending the San Francisco and causing war.Kangxi knew in his heart that this was a deliberate attempt by San Francisco.If the imperial court approves Shang Kexi's memorial, let Shang Zhixin inherit the throne.Then, the throne of King Pingxi should be inherited by Wu Yingxiong; the throne of King Jingnan should also be inherited by Geng Jingzhong's son.The power of the San Francisco has continued from generation to generation, and there is no end date. Besides, since their son is allowed to take the throne, why is there any reason to mention the word "withdrawal of the clan"?Therefore, seeing that several ministerial meetings failed to make a decision, Kangxi felt that this opportunity could no longer be lost.He bowed arbitrarily and personally approved Shang Kexi's memorial. "Please allow Shang Kexi to abdicate. Shang Zhixin's claim to inherit the throne is not allowed." This is equivalent to an explicit order to withdraw a feudal clan. Then Geng Jingzhong also went to the memorial, and directly asked for the withdrawal of the feudal domain and his adoption.Without hesitation, Kangxi swiped his pen, "Approve." Hmph, what about Wu Sangui? " This time, Wu Sangui was really passive.Among the three vassals, the two vassal kings asked themselves to withdraw their vassals, and both were approved by the emperor, so they couldn't get away with pretending to be confused. "People dare to ask themselves to withdraw the feudal clan, why don't you? Do you have other intentions?" However, he also knew that if he also made a request to withdraw the feudal clan, the imperial court would approve it in the same way.At that time, it will be difficult to stop the splashing water, and if you don't want to withdraw it, there is no way.At first, he wanted to procrastinate, take a look, and see how Kangxi paid him the King of Pingxi.Unexpectedly, this little baby could really hold his breath, insisting on waiting for him, Wu Sangui, to talk about his illness first.There is really no way.I had no choice but to make a memorandum, saying that I was too old and in poor health, especially my eyes.Please let the emperor allow him to retire and return to his hometown, and return to Liaodong to spend his old age in peace. As soon as this memorial entered the Forbidden City, Kangxi immediately called Xiong Cilu, Suo'etu, Mingzhu and others into the palace.In particular, it was said that Zhou Peigong, who had the most opinion on withdrawing the feudal clan, also came to see him.After everyone kowtowed, Kangxi gave him a seat.The ministers circulated Wu Sangui's memorial.Then, she said confidently: "My lords, in your opinion, is Wu Sangui sincere?" Mingzhu replied first: "Master, Wu Sangui, a slave, how can he be sincere. The general trend is inevitable, so he doesn't ask to withdraw, okay? " Xiong Cilu also said: "My lord, Wu Sangui said in this memorial: 'Once the minister surrenders the military power, the court will have no worries about the southwest." It seems to be complaining that the emperor does not trust him. In addition, there seems to be a little rabbit death mixed in between the lines. The mournful cry of a dog." "Well, you are very accurate. Zhou Peigong, what do you think?" The people here, Zhou Peigong, has the lowest official position. Hearing the emperor's question, he hurriedly knelt down: "Long live, I think that since Shangfan and Gengfan have been withdrawn, Wu Sangui is of course no exception. However, we can't just give him approval. Accurate two words, but use both kindness and power. If you ask for withdrawal, you should be rewarded, but you should refute your complaints, so that he will not dare to despise the Holy Lord and have different ideas." "Well, good! You are here, and make a decree for me." "I obey the decree." Zhou Peigong kowtowed and got up, came to the table, thought for a while, and wrote it without any details, holding it in both hands, and knelt down to present to Kangxi.Kangxi took it over, and saw that it said: "Wang's heart can be learned, Wang Zhi can be commended, please accept it. I have ordered Gan Wen (Huo Kun) to take over as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, so that I can inherit Wang Zhi and manage Guizhou and Yunnan. The king's position is high, and he rests with the country. How can the country do the thing of cooking dogs and hiding bows. The king's worries are too much. When the decree arrives, he can come north by car. I will sweep the couch full of flowers and set wine to wait." Kangxi read it carefully twice, and nodded in praise: "Okay, well written. There are irony and persuasion, warning and warning. Wu Sangui is too caring. He has made such a great contribution. It is a matter of ostentation to return to Liaodong for the elderly. As long as he doesn't cause trouble himself, I won't make it difficult for him. Well, this matter is settled. You all kneel down. Oh, Mr. Zhou Pei, please stay a little longer." After everyone resigned, Kangxi stood up and called Wei Dongting in: "Xiao Weizi, I am very happy today, and I haven't gone out to play for many days. You and Zhou Peigong accompany me to relax." As he spoke, he went out of the hall down the steps.Wei Dongting and Zhou Peigong also followed quickly. In front of Qianqing Gate, Wei Dongting hurriedly walked up behind Kangxi and asked, "Where does the Emperor want to relax?" Kangxi stopped, turned around and asked, "Is Wu Yingxiong's home far from here?" Zhou Peigong, who was following behind, was startled and stopped.Wei Dongting was also taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "It's not far, it's in Shihu Alley inside Xuanwu Gate—Isn't Long Live Lord going to his house?" "Well, I was thinking of his house." Zhou Peigong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "What is the emperor's order, just order it down. Let the servants pass the order..." "Look, it scares you two. Who is Wu Yingxiong? At that time, Oboi had such a great influence. I, Xiao Weizi, and four or five of them also went to Oboi's mansion! Come with me, Wu Yingxiong He is also a rare character, his ambition, his heart, his flexibility, and his viciousness are all extraordinary." "Then... Master shouldn't take risks lightly..." "Ha..." Kangxi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "He is a tiger's den, how can he stop me, the real dragon emperor! Let's go, let's break into him together."
