Chapter 679: Persuasion

Wu Sangui's life after becoming the emperor has become more comfortable, although it is not as exaggerated as the three palaces and six courts, but when he heard that Xia Guoxiang was giving him a draft girl in Jiangnan, Wu Sangui felt that people could live to this extent, how many people have been there throughout the ages? Not only is it a show girl, but the palace also has a look, even if it is not as good as the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is much more magnificent than the original Pingxi Palace.

At this time, a commander of the Praetorian Guard walked into the main hall: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. ”

Wu Sangui was on the rise, and when he heard this, he waved his hand in disgust: "Don't tell me these things, go to Wu Shifan and Xia Guoxiang." ”

The commander of the forbidden army knelt on the ground suddenly: "The last general will not say a word and be unhappy, now Your Majesty is my Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, enjoying the four seas, how can you ignore the affairs of the court every day?" If it goes on like this, what is the difference between it and Emperor Yang of Sui? ”

Wu Sangui threw down the wine glass suddenly: "Come on, drag this rebellious courtier down for me, and cut it with a knife!" Saying that, it was like justifying himself: "I have been fighting horses for decades, and now I can't enjoy a few days of happiness?" ”

The commander of the forbidden army shouted: "Originally, the Geng Shang coalition army was going to bring a large army to surrender, but Your Majesty not only did not receive the envoys of others, but also closed the gates of the border cities, and now they have jumped over the wall in a hurry, Your Majesty, wake up, if it goes on like this, Xia Guoxiang will have to lose the foundation of our Great Zhou!" ”

A commander of the forbidden army can say this, Wu Sangui was a little stunned, but he had been dragged down by someone because of his stunned kung fu, Wu Sangui shook his head helplessly: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, they can do what they want, I am old." After saying that, his interest was greatly reduced, and he waved his hand to let those people all go down, and he sat down on the dragon chair by himself, with a somewhat sad expression.

The eunuch waiting beside him mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and you will definitely be able to recover the world and be the founder of my Great Zhou." ”

"Spring and autumn in its heyday? Hehe, I won't believe your nonsense, my body is not as good as it was back then. At the beginning, I could sleep right away, but now I lie on the big bed, and I can't sleep all night. ”

Not long after, the head of the commander of the forbidden army had already been presented, and Wu Sangui waved his hand: "Bury him thickly, give his family two hundred taels of silver, and say that he sacrificed his life for the country." ”

The people next to him quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is benevolent!" ”

"Phew! I know why those emperors of the Ming Dynasty favored people like you, and in order to make me happy, the ability to open your eyes and talk nonsense is really stronger than one another. Saying that, he walked out of the palace lonely: "I miss Li Benshen's old thing, if Li Benshen is alive, he will definitely scold me at this time." ”

No one knew what Wu Sangui meant, watching him slowly walk out of the palace gate, the eunuchs behind him hurriedly followed.

"Get out! Lao Tzu wants to be alone and quiet! What kind of bullshit, Lao Tzu was immediately stabbed, relying not on the bullshit name of King Pingxi, but on the warrior behind the horse. ”

Wu Sangui was in no mood to know what was going on outside, but Xia Guoxiang couldn't help but know that Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin were like two mad dogs, and they had already gone down the south of Poyang Lake, and depending on their meaning, they wanted to fight to Yunnan.

Thinking of this, Xia Guoxiang was furious, but he had to patiently explain to Wu Shifan: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this time I was negligent, I didn't expect that these people were as cowardly as mice, and they didn't even dare to fight, so they turned around and ran away." ”

Wu Shifan was also a little puzzled: "Uncle, but if they are really cowardly, how can they attack our territory?" ”

Xia Guoxiang's face turned red, he couldn't say that in the eyes of Geng Shang's coalition army, the Ming army was more terrible than us, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "He is bullying no one behind us, if he really dares to fight us, why don't you come to the land south of the Yangtze River?" ”

"So what are we going to do now?"

Xia Guoxiang coughed: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to send a partial division to destroy these defeated troops, I knew that it would be good if we accepted them today, and it would be easier to kill them at that time." ”

Besides, the news of Wu Sangui's proclamation of the emperor reached Chengdu Mansion, and all the civil and military officials were excited, His Royal Highness, as the orthodox Ming Dynasty, did not dare to call himself the emperor if he did not recover the whole territory, what kind of thing are you, Wu Sangui, who dared to call himself the emperor?

So these people were divided into two branches, one of them wrote to insult Wu Sangui, almost starting from his father, and scolded his family all over again, the one who is close to Zhu is red and the one who is close to ink is black, his uncle and ancestor Dashou are not a good person, and his father Wu Xiang is a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will make holes.

The other branch began to persuade in, Wu Sangui has been called the emperor, Cheng Xiaolian is not a head shorter than others in the self-proclaimed His Royal Highness Daming, no matter from the right time and place or reasonable connections, Cheng Xiaolian should ascend to the treasure as soon as possible to calm the heart of the world.

This is basically similar to the Three Kingdoms period in history, first Cao Pi abolished Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and then Sun Quan and Liu Bei successively became emperors.

Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already the emperor, since Wu Sangui has made this start, Cheng Xiaolian should also be called the emperor.

No, Xiaolian saw that these books were big heads, and now he has not yet been called the emperor, he has a lot of discomfort in his own house, if he is called the emperor, I am afraid that those ministers who are idle and have nothing to do will definitely give him a book to let him fill the six palaces.

Besides, what does it matter if he is not called the emperor, even if he is a His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty, is it possible that Wu Sangui can still order him? But to put it bluntly, the matter of being the emperor is beneficial to everyone, which is why these courtiers are so active.

Because Cheng Xiaolian is now His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty, the official positions of those people are controlled within a certain range, if Cheng Xiaolian is really the emperor, what three princes and three orphans, the cabinet can make up for manpower, and those people will be promoted.

should be called the emperor in both love and reason, if Cheng Xiaolian refuses, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the courtiers. So he thought about it and put forward his own conditions to Confucius.

"It's okay for me to be the emperor, but you can't build a palace, you can't fill the harem. There is such a big palace in Beijing, it would be good if we regained our own residence, if we build another palace, it will be time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, and it will cost the people and money. As for the harem, I don't have so much energy, and I don't want to focus all my energy on the pleasure of the harem, besides, the three ladies are all around the time of childbirth, and the Daming bloodline you want has it, so you can't force me anymore. ”

Confucius frowned, and what he wanted to say was swallowed after all: "Just leave it to me to persuade the civil and military ministers in the court." ”

Cheng Xiaolian arched his hand: "Second uncle, hard work." ”

Confucius smiled bitterly: "You are roasting me on the fire, those courtiers are eager to send their daughters to the palace, and now that they have cut off this idea, they have to hate me." ”

"Daming Zuxun, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if they are willing to resign and go home, then send their daughters in, there is still a shortage of people waiting in my house."
