Traveling from The Deer and Ding Tale

Chapter 71 "Dead Daoist Friends Don't Die Poor Daoists" is a tricky game

After the courtesy was completed, Princess Jianning was settled in Fuyuan, Xi'an, Kunming City. Wu Sangui held a banquet in the Forbidden City of the former Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty to welcome Zhou Ping'an and his party.

Looking at the endless towers, pavilions, pavilions, red pavilions, green pavilions, and towering carved walls, Zhou Pingan smiled in his heart. I'm sorry, old Wu, I've taken a fancy to your place. When the time comes, I'll send my subordinate Jiang Zuomen When the Southeast Asian sub-helm of the sect power moves over, everyone squeeze together, and don't be surprised if you are squeezed out.

Although Wu Sangui is a vassal king who dominates one side, he is a magistrate after all. Although Zhou Ping'an's title is lower than him, he is an imperial envoy. Therefore, Zhou Ping'an sat at the head of the banquet.

On the way, Zhou Ping'an specially sorted out what Wei Xiaobao did in the world of Deer and Ding Ji.

Zhou Pingan decided to extract the essence from the rough, and ignored the part about Wei Xiaobao's decision to commit suicide, but he wanted to add drama to the part about being ripped off.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Zhou Pingan smiled and said, "My lord, I heard that you are going to rebel?"

Wu Sangui had just finished clinking glasses with Zhou Ping'an, and was enjoying his drink while listening to his subordinate officials flattering him. When he heard Zhou Ping'an's words, he sprayed all the wine on the face of that white-faced subordinate.

Wu Sangui's officers and generals who were present all turned pale with fright, and no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this young imperial envoy.

Zhou Pingan continued: "But after looking at it today, I realized that those people are either jealous or have never seen the world."

Wu Sangui's face eased a little, and he forced a smile and said: "Master Zhou knows clearly, Xiao Wang was born and died for the Qing Dynasty, and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty must hate me to the bone. Master Zhou may not know how Xiao Wang came here for so many years. Every day is trembling like walking on thin ice, loyal You can learn from the sun and the moon”

Zhou Pingan smiled and said: "I know this. It's like the people from the Mu Palace's assassination in the palace before. They forged the weapons used by the prince to frame up. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and saw the clue at a glance, and returned the prince's innocence."

Wu Sangui bowed to the north, pretending to be extremely grateful and said: "The emperor is wise, benevolent and filial, it is our blessing to be ministers."

Seeing that everyone was still in a daze, Zhou Pingan said, "Actually, it doesn't make much sense to be an emperor. He wakes up earlier than a chicken, sleeps later than a dog, and has no one to express his endless worries. Salary. It’s not as good as grapes, wine, luminous cups, and a lot of money and beauties every day, isn’t it, my lord?”

Hearing this, Wu Sangui suddenly smiled and said yes again and again, thinking, don't you just want money, this is easy to handle.

Seeing this, the rest of the civil and military officials all smiled as if seeing a confidant. No one knew that someone in the court was good at being an official. The number one celebrity around the emperor asked for money. Wouldn't it be silly if he looked familiar?

I'm not afraid that the imperial envoy has principles, but I'm afraid that the imperial envoy has no hobbies.

Anyway, it is enough to get back the gifts that are sent out.

All of a sudden, at the banquet, there was a mingling of toasts again, everyone boasted about each other, and everyone had a great time.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Pingan pretended to be mysterious and said to Wu Sangui: "My lord, in fact, although there are a few important officials in the court who worry that my lord can be used to fighting."

Speaking of this, seeing Wu Sangui listening nervously, Zhou Pingan smiled in his heart, clicked on the question, and wrote lightly, "But in fact, in recent years, the Raksha Kingdom has repeatedly violated our borders.

The three eastern provinces are also the land where the Qing Dynasty prospered. The emperor has the intention to use troops to the north, but those ministers always talk about the prince. Although I have repeatedly defended him, but...you see this."

Wu Sangui's face changed continuously, and he calmed down for a while before saying: "Thank you Lord Zhou for your protection. Xiao Wang is grateful and grateful. The emperor's talents and strategies are beyond the reach of the wise emperors in ancient times.

Back then, I fought against the Raksha Kingdom outside the pass, and I knew very well that their ambitions were not small, and this was a serious problem in my heart, so please ask Lord Zhou to speak more in front of the emperor..."

Seeing Wu Sangui racking his brains to lead the war to the north first, Zhou Ping'an secretly despised you, you old tortoise secretly hooking up with the Living Buddha, Zhungeer, Luocha Kingdom, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and even the Dragon Sect. When the wind blows and the grass stirs, it wants to cause trouble to the east, and the skill of "dead friends will not die poor people" is very slippery.

Seeing that Wu Sangui had taken the bait, Zhou Ping'an continued to lay out the line, "Your Majesty, before I came to Yunnan, I heard the emperor mention that the Living Buddha in Tibet had given the emperor some instructions.
Although I don't know what is written in it, but I saw that the emperor Long Yan is very happy, and it seems that he intends to confer the living Buddha as Jebtsundan Hutuktu..."

When Wu Sangui heard the news, his complexion changed drastically, and he blurted out: "No wonder..."

But as soon as he said these two words, he realized that he had made a mistake and stopped immediately.

"No wonder what? Your lord?" Zhou Pingan smiled with great interest.

"No...it's nothing." Wu Sangui smiled awkwardly, but his expression remained solemn.

Zhou Pingan secretly laughed. If the living Buddha did not join Wu Sangui's alliance, then Wu Sangui and Galdan's alliance would not only fail to connect, but would also face the risk of being cut off from the middle at any time.

At this time, even if he borrowed Wu Sangui's ten courage, he would not dare to rebel rashly.

Zhou Pingan did not expect that this unintentional move would trigger a butterfly effect, directly affecting Wu Sangui, the five-party alliance of the big tortoise.

"It seems that this little girl, Axiu, can still do it. It's not in vain." Zhou Ping'an was secretly happy.

Thinking of unintentionally planting willows, Zhou Ping'an suddenly thought of Liu Muqian, a disciple of the Emei School, who is dressed in white clothes like snow and is graceful, "Or I also have no intention... cough cough... distracted, distracted..."

"Master Zhou, what can the emperor say to Xiao Wang?" Wu Sangui asked cautiously.

"Oh, there is an imperial edict and an oral edict. The imperial edict will be announced tomorrow, and the emperor's oral edict is that as long as King Pingxi is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's treatment of King Pingxi will definitely not be worse than the treatment given to Prince Mu's mansion in the previous Ming Dynasty. .” Zhou Pingan said with a smile.

Wu Sangui was overjoyed after hearing this, and held Zhou Ping'an's hand tightly, saying: "I will always feel the great kindness of the emperor, and I am willing to guard the southern border for the Qing Dynasty from generation to generation. Xiao Wang will always remember Lord Zhou's care. In the future, Master Zhou will be sent , I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Wu Sangui only knew that this was really the emperor's oral decree, but how did he know that the guy in front of him had even forged imperial edicts, and it was a piece of cake to fake the oral decree.

Zhou Pingan saw that the cowhide was almost broken, so he accepted it as soon as it was good, and said with a smile: "This time when I go back, I will definitely try to convince the prince to be loyal in front of the emperor, and at the same time, I must persuade those who are different. The important ministers who have opinions together suggest to the emperor to use troops to the north..."

Wu Sangui was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Then Xiao Wang will thank Master Zhou first. Later, Xiao Wang will prepare some small gifts, one for the emperor as military funds, and one for Duke Zhou and all the adults to express his heart."

"There is one more thing, the lord may have heard about it. After the emperor took office, one of the new policies that he pushed was the off-the-job training for in-service officials." Seeing that the time had come, Zhou Ping'an revealed his own private goods. .

"Master Zhou, please rest assured. We in Yunnan and Guizhou will definitely set an example for the world and make new contributions to the emperor." Wu Sangui thought that this training would be of use to him sooner or later, so he agreed.

Sure enough, after the banquet was over, after Wu Yingxiong sent Wei Xiaobao back to Anfu Garden, he quietly gave Zhou Pingan some meaning by taking the opportunity of asking incumbent officials to leave their posts for training on the New Deal.

This means that there are a full 80 taels of light silver, as well as other treasures such as jewelry, calligraphy, painting and porcelain.

Zhou Pingan was very happy in his heart, and he would not refuse anyone who came, so he accepted Wu Yingxiong's gift for "those important ministers who disagreed with each other" in the court.

With just a few words and a little condiment, the income has become four times that of Wei Xiaobao. Zhou Pingan secretly gave Wu Sangui and his son a thumbs up. The quality of Yun. Nanzhugang is good.

After sending Wu Yingxiong away, Zhou Ping'an was about to go in and tell Princess Jianning about today's situation. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard an indescribable voice from inside.
