Chapter 128: Plotting to be rebelled
Song Qingshu finally gave up the tempting idea, he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, and his intuition vaguely told him that Wei Xiaobao's death in Shanhaiguan would not be the best ending, at least not the most beneficial way to die for himself.
Even Song Qingshu acquiesced to his approach, and the rest of the marriage team was not taken seriously by Wei Xiaobao. Every night after that, the princess quietly asked Wei Xiaobao to accompany her. Wei Xiaobao was afraid of Song Qingshu's jokes at the beginning, but it was difficult for young people to control the affairs of men and women, and a charming princess was entangled in her, how could she give it up? Even if he was a righteous man and a gentleman, he might not be able to control it, not to mention that he never knew what the law of ethics and etiquette was.
At first, he was sneaking around, but then he stayed in the princess's room all night, and he was a wedding messenger during the day and a concubine at night. The female eunuchs of the palace were afraid of the princess, and Wei Xiaobao was constantly rewarded with a large amount of silver, and the marrying general Song Qingshu had not spoken, who would dare to say half a word of gossip?
During this time, Song Qingshu didn't bother to deal with the pair of dog men and women, but kept worrying about Xia Qingqing and Li Yuanzhi.
Staying in the Manchu court was only an expedient measure, and everything was originally arranged in an orderly manner, but with the disappearance of Xia and Li, two key links were missing...... Song Qingshu looked at the sky in the distance, his face was a little ugly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Song Qingshu knew that that method was too dangerous, although the benefits were huge enough to make him turn over overnight, but if he was not careful, he would never recover.
For a long time, Song Qingshu has been very clear that because of the affairs of the Wudang faction and after the lion slaughter conference, his reputation in the martial arts can only be described as 'messy and incorrigible', so he doesn't care about what negative impact it will have on his reputation on the rivers and lakes if he takes refuge in the Manchu court.
Thinking that even if he was chivalrous and righteous all day long, the impression of people in the martial arts would not change much, Song Qingshu gave up his plan to wander the rivers and lakes at the beginning, and instead chose to break the temple and stand up.
He originally planned to use the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to gradually grow into an existence that others hated and feared, just like the Aobai of the Megatron back then.
Not long after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was full of anti-Qing and Ming forces, such as the Heaven and Earth Society, the Red Flower Society, and the Golden Snake Camp in Shandong.
After Yuan Chengzhi was killed by Dongfang Undefeated, although Song Qingshu kept expressing all kinds of regrets in front of Xia Qingqing, he was secretly happy in his heart.
Because as soon as Yuan Chengzhi died, the Golden Snake Camp was leaderless, and he had the possibility of becoming the master. Of course, the Golden Snake Camp is full of mountains, and the various forces are very miserable with each other, and Song Qingshu knows that even if he subdues Xia Qingqing, it is not the same as subduing the Golden Snake Camp. His reputation is too bad, and Xia Qingqing's status as the widow of the late Golden Snake King, if the two of them show a little ambiguity in front of the soldiers of the Golden Snake Battalion, I am afraid that even Xia Qingqing will be implicated.
When the time comes, the two of them will be adulterers and adulteresses, let alone enter the Golden Snake Camp, I am afraid that there will be no place to stand in the world, and they can only be the lackeys of the Manchu court with peace of mind.
Song Qingshu didn't want to do this, so he didn't plan to follow Xia Qingqing to Shandong to integrate the Golden Snake Camp from the beginning, but waited for the people in the Golden Snake Camp to come and beg him to become the master.
If Song Qingshu told this idea to others, I am afraid that ten out of ten people would think that he was crazy. But Song Qingshu knew in his heart that there was nothing impossible in the world.
But this must have Song Qingshu have enough strength in the imperial court, at least to be able to be a member of the side with soldiers and horses, so that he can have a chance to face the Golden Snake Battalion and have a chance to fight the Golden Snake Battalion.
When the people of the Golden Snake Camp were afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts, and they knew that they could no longer defeat him on the battlefield, one or two smart people would naturally emerge, and they would suddenly realize the identity of Song Qingshu Han. Even if there is no such smart person, it doesn't matter, Song Qingshu will naturally arrange it quietly.
There is a common problem of anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations, that is, they often have illusions about Han officials in the Manchu court, and they always feel that as Han Chinese, it should be easier for them to identify with their own ideas and join their own great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that things often backfire, and they run into walls everywhere, and they will pay the price of blood in the end.
These organizations don't understand why this is the case, aren't those Han people, why are they more ruthless than the Manchus? They don't understand, but Song Qingshu does.
When those Han people chose to become officials of the Manchu court, there was no turning back. In the Manchu system, it is an indisputable fact that the banner people are more important, and if Han officials want to climb higher, they have to put in several times more effort.
Like these anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations, the rest of the Manchu officials and even the emperor also distrusted these Han officials, and they would show it consciously or unconsciously on a daily basis. In order to show loyalty to the imperial court, these Han officials were cautious in their every move.
In particular, when it comes to such an extremely sensitive issue as opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, if it is a Manchu official, maybe it will pass with a smile, and no one will doubt his loyalty, but if it is a Han official, if he does not immediately take a resolute superficial stance, his career will be bleak, and he will have the disaster of raiding his family and exterminating the clan.
As for how to clarify one's position, what could be more effective than the blood of those who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?
Just like in Song Qingshu's previous life, there are a lot of Chinese officials in the U.S. government, and many of them are very high-level. When ordinary Chinese people saw that a certain US minister was Chinese, they immediately became elated, thinking that it was a good thing for China.
But where do they know the truth, the reality is quite the opposite. They tend to be harsher and harsher on China issues than native white Americans. Because they are Chinese, if they want to sit safely, they must dispel the misgivings in the hearts of the American people and the rest of the officials, and it is easy to understand that kind of posture on the China issue.
Song Qingshu is fundamentally different from those Han people who were officials in the Manchu court and pursued high-ranking officials, he pursued thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the Manchu court could not give him, so there was no need for him to be as loyal to the court as they were.
As long as there are enough interests, it is very easy to turn against him. In Song Qingshu's original plan, when he had beaten the Golden Snake Battalion, Xia Qingqing would come forward and guide the people in the Golden Snake Camp to try to rebel against him.
Why did Song Qingshu think that everything was feasible? Because the Red Flower Society tried all means to try to rebel against Qianlong, which gave him confidence. Just because they believed that Qianlong was a Han Chinese, they could pay any price to rebel against him, and even the chief helmsman Chen Jialuo gave his beloved woman Princess Xiangxiang to Qianlong for the so-called righteousness, just to make Qianlong make up his mind to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that they haven't figured out one thing, Qianlong is already the emperor, what else can the Red Flower Society give him? Do you really think that the national righteousness is useful, or can a peerless beauty make Qianlong abandon the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts?
