Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 117 I, Dapao Liu, Are Absolutely Loyal to Daming (Two in One)

"Don't get me wrong, chief rudder, I... Ah Jiu and I are innocent, but we haven't seen each other for many years, and today's change is too big for her, so I came to her room to talk about it, really, really, We spent most of the night just chatting."

Liu Dapao also has a black line on his forehead, who the hell will believe what you say at this time is so innocent!You might as well say that the two of you are in love and end in courtesy, which is more convincing.

Of course, Liu Dapao had no interest in meddling in the private life of these two people. He came to talk about state affairs, and upon seeing this, he asked, "Has the princess rested?"

"not yet."

"Please trouble Senior Yuan to report that I have something important to discuss with the princess."

"Now? This..."

"Now, it's about me, Ming Guozuo, but I don't dare to delay in the slightest. If I'm rude, I hope the princess will make amends."

I heard Jiu Nan sighed in the room and said: "Mr. Liu just came in. There is no need to deal with these vain rituals. Now that the poor nun has been a nun for more than 20 years, the word princess has been used for a long time. No one called."

After finishing speaking, he stood up slowly and walked to the door, and saluted Liu Dapao first, but Liu Dapao simply bowed and bowed back and said, "Minister Liu Dapao sees Your Royal Highness, Long live Daming! .”

Liu Dapao suddenly gave her such a great gift. To be honest, Jiu Nan was really not used to it, even a little uncomfortable, so he quickly reached out to help him up, and sighed: "Da Ming would have died a long time ago, if there were not you in this world These loyal people remind me all the time, I almost forget that I am still a princess.”

"Da Ming is not dead, as long as we are alive, Daming will never die."

"Ha, hahahahaha, Mr. Liu, please come in and talk."

After all, Master Jiu Nan made tea for Liu Dapao with her own hands and said: "The chief rudder has the heart to restore the Ming Dynasty, I am already very grateful. I am forty-eight this year, and I am no longer a fledgling little girl. Now, your set of etiquette is too great, I dare not accept it, and I can't bear it."

"His Royal Highness's words are different, as the saying goes, etiquette cannot be discarded."

Jiu Nan stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Nowadays I can be regarded as a person in the Jiang Hu, and you will not hesitate to bring your wife to look for me at this late night, it must be something important, just say it."

"Yes, Your Highness, I dare to ask, do you still have... anything that can prove your identity?"

"There are still some, the Great Seal of the State, the genealogy of the royal family, including some of the personal belongings of the former emperor, etc. They are all there. They are supposed to be kept for seeing things and thinking about others, just for thinking about them."

"Since that's the case, it's easy to handle. I think... since I have transferred a lot of money through the sea trade, why not let me build a palace for the princess in Chenghai County, and formally raise troops in the future. It would be convenient to ask His Highness to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

"Oh? It turns out that Director Liu wanted to keep me in your own hands. I thought you were going to let me and Wu Sangui go back to Kunming."

"Among the current anti-Qing forces, Wu Sangui is indeed the most powerful. However, I heard that Kunming has a humid climate, and there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants. I am afraid that His Highness will not be used to living in Yunnan. Besides, Wu Sangui has always been capricious. Sir, I'm really a little worried about your Highness going down, or... Your Highness is still on my territory, so I'm more at ease."

"It turns out that Chief Liu also has such great ambitions, and also wants to do the thing of coercing the emperor to make the princes."

Of course, Liu Dapao also knew that Jiu Nan was not a fool, but when he heard Jiu Nan say this, he immediately pinched the inside of his thigh secretly, squeezed out a few tears, and said with a look of grief and indignation:
"Your Highness! You... how can you think of me like this? How can you think of our Tiandihui like this? Are the heroes of our Tiandihui in your eyes, like Wu Sangui and others, a group of despicable villains for political speculation? ! "

"Did the tens of thousands of brothers in my Heaven and Earth Association start rebelling this year? Did we already know that your one-armed nun is Princess Changping when we rebelled? We already knew that Kangxi would be in San Francisco Withdraw together, will Wu Sangui and others rebel against San Francisco again? We put our heads on our trouser belts and secretly formed an association to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, is it to coerce the emperor to order the princes?"

After speaking, he pulled up his wife Chen Shi and said: "Come and introduce to Your Highness, my wife Chen Shi, my late father Chen Zilong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty three times, and after being captured, he threw himself into the water to die. Madame inherited my father's behest and joined the Tiandihui, and when she heard that my side had killed an official, she took the initiative to invite Ying to be the magistrate's wife, is this also for the purpose of coercing the emperor and ordering the princes?"

"My general, Qiu Hui, was originally a duck breeder. Why did he rebel, why did he call himself the prefect of Chaozhou, and why did he shave his hair and change clothes and became a general of the Qing court under my command? Is it just to coerce the emperor? To order the princes?"

"My secretary, Xiao Aqiao, haven't you never seen a prodigal woman who uses the money she sells to support the Tiandihui? What is she trying to do? My senior brother Wei Xiaobao is now the deputy governor of Zhenghuangqi, the second rank Senior official, the first rank of official residence within ten years is a certainty, to put it bluntly, even if the Ming court is re-established, can it be his turn to be a senior official of this rank?"

"Let's just talk about myself. Although it is an imposter, I have already achieved the position of Chaozhou General Manager and a cabinet scholar. Not to mention an extremely personable minister, I am already a feudal official. What does the Qing Dynasty have to do with me in Chaozhou? ?”

"Your Highness's words like this hurt my heart too much, my heart is so cold!!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help crying.

This move is mainly against the guests, but it can solve the nine difficulties. After all, he Liu Dapao is now playing the banner of the Tiandihui, and the Tiandihui is a group of mobs, a group of cute fools. It's really righteous, it's something no one can say no to.

These words of his are actually his true feelings. The group of Tiandihui are really doing nothing for the broken country of the old Zhu's family.

Although the real reason for the vast majority of members of the Tiandihui to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty was that the Qing army was so improper that the officials forced the people to rebel, and they shouted slogans against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty itself. Confusing concepts like this from time to time is really calming.

Even Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help but said in a warm voice: "Ah Jiu, you can't say that about the chief rudder. If you compare him with Wu Sangui and others like this, isn't it just chilling the hearts of loyal people? I believe , the chief rudder invited you to stay in Chaozhou temporarily, it was all out of loyalty."

Jiu Nan was also ashamed by this impassioned statement, but immediately gave a deep salute to Liu Dapao, and two hot tears came out of his eyes:

"Yes, it's because I don't know what's good and what's wrong, and I said something wrong. It's all my fault. Today's incident is really too exciting for me. My mind has been muddled all day long. He has almost lost the ability to think, and please don't blame Mr. Liu for what he said and what he didn't mean."

"Don't dare, dare not, you are the king and I am the minister. In this world, only the king blames his ministers. How can a minister blame the emperor?"

"Hey~, the mountains and rivers have been broken so far, how can it be called a monarch? Now, all I can get out is the identity of the imperial family of the former Ming Dynasty. Chief Liu doesn't need to be so polite. This great cause, if If there is anything I can do to help, please tell me, and I will do my best."

"Your Highness is serious. I just want to ask you to stay in this Chaozhou city for a while and settle down. You will move after you restore China in the future, or at least you can sit in the south of the Yangtze River."

Jiu Nan heard that he was even more puzzled and said: "This is really strange. If you want to rebel and play the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, you are just trying to use my name. If I, the princess of the former Ming Dynasty, If we go to Yunnan, the Qing court will naturally fight Wu Sangui forever."

"And if I stay here in Chaozhou, I dare not say that I am better than Wu Sangui, but I will definitely be regarded as a serious problem by the Tartar Emperor, and I will definitely send a main force to attack you. Wouldn't it hurt you instead?"

"On the contrary, Wu Sangui has enough soldiers and food, and he still has the power to face the Qing court's counterattack. Besides, he is a traitor, even if he dies, he deserves it. There is nothing to regret. If we can use this to attract the main force of the Qing court to the west Three points, wouldn't it be a good thing to reduce the pressure on your side by three points?"

"As for me, let me tell you a big word, my martial arts should not be inferior to anyone in the world today, except Brother Yuan. At that time, no matter whether Wu Sangui succeeds or fails, no matter what he wants to do to me What, I am confident that I can leave and go back to Chaozhou, wouldn't it be better? Once my identity is exposed, it will be a thunderbolt. If you don't have the heart of the emperor, why bother to take it into your own hands? "

Hearing the words, Liu Dapao knew that Xirou was coming, and said: "Wu Sangui Shangzhi is loyal and loyal to Sun Yanling. The four of them had to rebel because of Kangxi's withdrawal of the domain. There is no loyalty in such a person's heart. I want them To unite and fight against the Qing court, in my opinion, is more difficult than ascending to heaven."

"So the immediate plan is to restore the Ming court, and let the four of them at least be ministers under the righteousness. Even if they can't achieve overall command, they can let them not hinder each other and retreat a bit." Wan Bu said that even if something really happens in the future, you have a reason to order mediation."

"However, because of this, you and this Ming Dynasty Guozuo can never fall into the hands of any of them. Let me give an inappropriate example. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian Liu Xie escaped from Chang'an After that, he also lived in Luoyang for a period of time, and was enshrined by Zhang Yang, Han Xian, Dong Cheng and others at that time."

"During this period of time, although no one in the world took Emperor Xian seriously, no one dared to deny the orthodox position of Emperor Xian. In the name of the imperial court, Liu Biao asked for money to repair the Luoyang palace."

"However, after Cao Cao welcomed Liu Xie back to Xudu, it was obvious that Cao Cao was more respectful and courteous to Xiandi, but the princes of the world did not recognize him instead. Except for Cao Cao himself, all heroes in the world would call Cao Cao a traitor It's gone."

Jiu Nan heard the words, thoughtful, but Yuan Chengzhi suddenly realized: "I understand, because Zhang Yang's strength is weak, he came to serve the emperor, and the princes of the world would not care at all, but would take actions to show their own. Loyal, but too strong, he took over the emperor and rebuilt the court, he really became the Zhengshuo of the world, if you don't call him a traitor, you are a real traitor."

"That's right. Although this example is not appropriate, I think the reasoning is the same. If you followed Wu Sangui to Yunnan, Geng Jingzhong is welcome. Sun Yanling will definitely not accept Wu Sangui. In my opinion, the four of them cannot share weal and woe. , nor can we share wealth."

"They won't obey Wu Sangui, and I'm afraid they won't obey the court controlled by Wu Sangui. It's hard to say that they won't just find a man surnamed Zhu to set up another court in the future. In this way, even if the great cause of anti-Qing can achieve initial results, Separating the south of the Yangtze River, there is no guarantee that the old events of the Southern Ming Dynasty will repeat itself, and they will not die under the iron hooves of the Tartars, but will die in the endless internal strife and orthodoxy."

"Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, Sun Yanling, they are all Cao Cao, and they are all great princes with real power. However, I am different. In this world, I only have one province in Chaozhou, and the army cannot be full. Yu Tiandihui, dare not say anything else, at least in terms of loyalty and righteousness, I don't know how many blocks the four of them are, so I think I can make a publicity."

"I have a good reputation. To the Ming court, I can be said to be rooted and young. You stay in my Chaozhou, which can be said to be justifiable, and my strength is weak. The four of them don't have to worry about me being Cao Cao. On the contrary, they will only ask you You show your kindness to me to show your loyalty, and in addition to the special geographical location of Chaozhou, if the Tatars come from the north, they must first attack Geng Jingzhong in Fujian. Therefore, I think that although this move has a lot of risks, it can and should be done in order to fight against the Qing dynasty."

Jiu Nan heard the words, couldn't help but frowned again and said: "It's not inappropriate for you to compare me to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It's just Liu Zongruo, the ending of Zhang Yang is not very good."

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Dapao to really make that publicity. Isn’t this just fooling people? Dang even said deeply: “What is your Highness saying? Putting life and death aside, why have you ever thought about whether your own ending is good or not?"

Jiu Nan heard the words, and became more and more moved. A very old man, he couldn't control it for a while, and actually burst into tears.

"It's really my great fortune to have such a lonely and loyal leader of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Liu. The great fortune of the Ming Dynasty and the great fortune of the country. The mind of the chief rudder is really admirable. Please also be respected by me."

"Oh, I can't help it, Your Highness, please get up quickly, how can I bear this."

"Master Liu is not hesitating about personal honor, disgrace, or safety for my Ming Dynasty. He is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. He is already comparable to ancient sages. Why can't he be respected by Ah Jiu?"

One insisted on begging, but the other dared not accept it, so the two of them gave in to each other for a long time before turning the polite words over.

We talked again about how to do this in detail, anyway, after the chat was over, the sky outside was almost dawning, so we hurriedly bid farewell to Jiu Nan and went back to the room to lie down, thinking that we would continue to make false claims with Wu Sangui and others for a while. During a meeting, I couldn't help but feel a headache, so I seized the time to fall asleep.

But in his sleep, he unconsciously showed a strange smile.

Zhang Yang, is he worthy of comparing with me?
