After listening to this secret, Cheng Xiaolian sneered: "So you came to dig late at night, the so-called is Zhu Cihuan's plan to restore the country?" ”

Hu Zeli smiled bitterly: "You see that I have no carriage and no helpers, even if I want to get these away, I have more than enough heart and strength." Speaking of this, he sighed: "This silver is just a legendary existence, no one knows if it is or not, if I don't take a look, it will always be difficult to feel at ease." As for the restoration of the country, the prince counts his two sons, there are a total of three men in the family, whether it falls into the hands of Wu Sangui or the Qing court, it will inevitably end up being slaughtered by others, but when you come here, you are worried about the same root and cannibalism, so you sent me to do these two things. ”

"Your prince is a fine man." Cheng Xiaolian actually has nothing to say, how did such a delicate person end up with a full house of beheadings?

Of course he didn't know that a few decades later, the world was decided, Kangxi pretended to look for the descendants of the former Ming Dynasty, saying that it would be appropriate for them to come to guard the mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, and also announced to the world that he would reward officials to find the descendants of the former Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Cihuan was already over seventy years old, thinking about the ups and downs of this life, hiding in Tibet like a lost dog, although he didn't believe much in Emperor Kangxi's words, but he also felt that if there was a big decision today, there was no danger, so he relaxed his vigilance, and once he drank and confided in the truth, thinking that he was noble, and he couldn't even live the life of an ordinary person in this life, how could he not be sad from it.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and immediately spread the news, and soon the government got the news and came to get people, Zhu Cihuan asked rhetorically: "I didn't make a mess when the three feudatories were in turmoil, I didn't make a mess when I pacified overseas, and now in a peaceful and prosperous world, I didn't hoard money and grain, and I didn't recruit troops and horses, and the emperor said that he wanted to reward the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, why did you take me?" When the people in the government heard it, they also felt that it made sense, so they only reported the news, and then waited for Zhu Cihuan to eat and drink, just waiting for the news of the reward to come down.

How did you know that Kangxi's words were just for show, and immediately ordered that Zhu Cihuan, who had escaped, be beheaded all over the house, and he himself would be executed. Zhu Cihuan lived in the rivers and lakes for more than 60 years, and finally had illusions about the Manchu court, and in the end it was extremely miserable.

Hu Zeli smiled bitterly when he heard this: "How can you say it finely, if you don't be cautious in your words and deeds, I'm afraid that this head will be cut off a long time ago, and now that you have got the silver, how about letting me live?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at him with a smile: "What?" You didn't want to come to the front for Zhu Cihuan, why did you become afraid to come? ”

"Prince。。。。。。 My brother-in-law is a scholar, he can't fight you, and when he comes, it's just fish on the chopping board, and you can cut him whenever you want. I can see it, it's better for him to be a rich son, and besides, his identity is there, if you are involved in these things, will you let him go? ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "It's okay, it's just right that he doesn't come, if he comes, as soon as someone talks about any bad thoughts, I will have to take him sooner or later, you help me bring him a word, just say that Zhu Cihuan can't vote for any party, if the Ming Dynasty is lucky, restore the country, let him Wang Shiyuan come to Beijing to find me, then there will be a title for him, just remember, the person who comes can only be Wang Shiyuan, if Zhu Cihuan arrives, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Cheng Xiaolian is not a saint and is not a wicked person, Zhu Cihuan's appearance once gave him a headache, and now of course his subordinates will not follow Zhu Cihuan to do anything, but the Ming Dynasty will expand after all, and there will be more territories and generals in the future, whether those people will get close to Zhu Cihuan is not something he can control. If he was asked to cut Zhu Cihuan with a knife, it would be his uncle, he had never been at fault, and he had not shown his intention to harm him, it was easy to cut with a knife, but it was difficult to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse after the cut.

Not to mention anything else, once Gu Yanwu and the others knew the news, they might be depressed, and even say goodbye. If the Ming Dynasty wants to restore the country, the soldiers must be strong, and they must also be spread by Wanghua, and the four seas will return to their hearts, and the soldiers can be controlled by him, and the spread of Wanghua can only rely on Gu Yanwu and these people, if the people's hearts are turned back, even if he can fight again, can he still fight against the historical trend, and the so-called tax reduction and exemption in Sichuan is not these things. These things can't be seen or touched, but they can kill.

Hu Zeli left, and when he left, he carried more than ten silver ingots, and the silver tickets in the chaos were not very useful, after all, you just deposited the silver into the silver number, maybe the silver number was robbed by the rebels, and the silver ticket was a piece of waste paper at that time, or real money and silver are convincing.

In order to avoid Hu Ze's suspicion, Cheng Xiaolian did not send someone to escort him, but just told him to be careful along the way, if he was affected by the war and war, he could move to Chengdu at home, but it was still the same sentence, if Zhu Cihuan's real name was revealed, I am afraid that the dark arrow would also arrive.

After Hu Zeli left, Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "There are some things that I still have to explain to you." ”

Yang Youcai nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will send someone to target Hu Zeli, as soon as he sees Zhu Cihuan, I will immediately let them all be killed." ”

Cheng Xiaolian scolded with a smile: "You're talking nonsense again, who made you kill again?" Since I promised not to kill people, then I won't kill them, is it possible that I can't say anything to this kind of person? I'll fix a book, you let it be delivered to Mr. Gu as quickly as possible, although we didn't recognize Zhu Cihuan, but the news of Zhu Cihuan coming to us will spread sooner or later, I don't want the old gentlemen to be upset. ”

It didn't take ten days to send the letter back to Chengdu Academy, Gu Yanwu read the letter without saying a word, and stretched out his hand to hand it to the two old gentlemen beside him.

After everyone finished reading it, Wang Fuzhi sighed: "Our Royal Highness is a benevolent and righteous gentleman." ”

Huang Zongxi coughed: "If you are unhappy, although His Royal Highness will explain the cause and effect clearly, he can't guarantee that this Hu Zeli is the Prince of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Gu Yanwu laughed: "Don't say that this person is fake, it's true, can our three old men really defect to him?" Do you see what this epistle says? Our three old men are still working day and night for the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and as the son of Emperor Chongzhen, he has now given birth to two sons. Now that I heard that the Ming Dynasty is about to rise, I sent someone over to get a piece of the pie, is there such a good thing in this world? ”

Wang Fuzhi nodded: "The hope of our Ming Zhongxing is in His Royal Highness, and now that it has reached this point, we must not make a mistake and become the sinner of our Ming Dynasty through the ages." ”

"Your Highness is worried that our three old men are pedantic, so I turned against him for this matter, and specially wrote a letter to inform him, don't you know that the three of us are for the country of the Han people, why did they do it for the descendants of Lord Chongzhen?"
