Chapter 647: Saving the real dragon brothers and turning against each other (Part )
"What's going on with Bai Wenxuan? Why haven't Yongli monarchs and ministers been escorted to Guiyang yet?" In the palace of Prince Qin in Guiyang, Sun Kewang was furious. Li Dingguo's army was getting closer and closer to Anlong, but Bai Wenxuan reasoned that Anlong was a remote place and it was difficult to recruit civil servants. He was still unwilling to bring Emperor Yongli here, so why not make him anxious.

"Your Majesty, my veteran has long said that Bai Wenxuan has an old relationship with Li Dingguo, so sending him there may cause trouble," Ren Zun said.

"You might as well send another trusted person to urge Bai Wenxuan," Fang Yuxuan suggested.

Sun Kewang nodded and shouted to Ye Yingzhen, a close confidant beside him: "Take a hundred guards and rush to Anlong with Gu's token to urge Bai Wenxuan to leave immediately." At this time, the king was still confident in his control and believed that Bai Wenxuan would set off immediately as soon as his token arrived.

"Yes", Ye Yingzhen accepted the order.

"Captain, the emperor has ordered Anlong to come to Anlong at the end of his life. Please take the emperor to Guiyang as soon as possible. This is the emperor's token." When they met, Ye Yingzhen showed Sun Kewang's token to Bai Wenxuan. This token is now as useful as an imperial edict in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Sure enough, when he saw the token, Bai Wenxuan immediately became respectful and brave, "Ye Baihu doesn't know something. I actually want to leave immediately. However, the emperor and ministers have too many family members, entourage, and supplies. They need three thousand carts, Twenty thousand people. Anlong is a remote place, so it is not easy to collect carts and recruit people."

"Why bother with those idle people and supplies? Just take away the emperor, members of the royal family, and a few cabinet ministers." Ye Yingzhen stamped his feet anxiously.

"Oh! It's difficult! The emperor refused to go alone even if he died. I urged him several times, but he actually wanted to commit suicide. The ruler of the country has to live. If the emperor is forced to die, I cannot bear the crime of killing the emperor." Bai Wen Xuan looked aggrieved.

"The governor dare not force the emperor, so the general will have to do it for him." Ye Yingzhen left angrily and walked straight into the palace gate. The guards at the palace gate were all from Fan Yingxu and Zhang Yingke, so they walked straight in and reached the palace.

Emperor Yongli still displayed royal dignity as he did when he met Bai Wenxuan last time. However, Ye Baihu, who came this time, did not know the etiquette and did not even kneel when he met. He directly asked: "Your Majesty, please go to Guiyang. When will you leave?" ?”

Seeing that the royal majesty could not sway him, Emperor Yongli lowered his tone and prayed: "There are many people and objects in the palace, and it will take some time to prepare."

"No need to go to such trouble. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen, the princes and princesses please go first, and the others will come later," Ye Yingzhen threatened.

Since the secret edict incident, Sun Kewang has shown his sharpness. Emperor Yongli is not stupid. He knows that this trip is very dangerous, and he refuses to go to death. Everyone in the "palace" keeps crying.

Ye Yingzhen was furious and drew his sword. The emperor didn't care, he only cried. He couldn't, he couldn't really kill the emperor. Moreover, even if the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, the princes and princesses, and the cabinet bachelors went first, there would still be hundreds of people, and even two hundred carriages would not be able to do it. We only brought a hundred personal guards with us on this trip. We were short of manpower to transport so many people. They had no choice but to ask Bai Wenxuan to cooperate again, but Governor Bai still delayed the time on the grounds that Anlong was a remote place and it was difficult to recruit civil servants.

The days passed like this, and in the first month of the thirteenth year of Qianyuan (1656), Li Ding's army arrived near Anlong. After recruiting the subordinates of Generals Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai from Tianzhou, the number of the army was close to . He summoned General Yang Xiang and said, "You are taking my secret team to Anlong to see you. Your Majesty, please make preparations and cooperate inside and outside."

"Yes", Yang Xiang walked quickly to the Bantun River (Bantun River) fifty miles away from Anlong City. Because he could not find a ferry, he had to cross the river on a bamboo raft. Fortunately, the river was not in a hurry and we reached the other side safely.

"Huh~" He let out a long breath, and was about to sneak into Anlong, when suddenly a group of people rushed over, and without any explanation, tied him up and took him to the military camp. These Biao troops were the remnants of Liu Zhenguo, the defeated general in Tianzhou. After Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai lost Tianzhou, they were afraid that Sun Kewang would blame them, so they led the remnant troops to station at Bantun River, hoping to be punished and make meritorious deeds.

"Who are you?" Liu Zhenguo heard that he had caught the spy and interrogated him personally. Sun Kewang was stern by nature. After Tianzhou fell, he was worried about the military law of the country and was eager to make meritorious deeds. Yang Xiang was well prepared and replied calmly: "I have sent word to General Yang Xiang. The ruler of the country has ordered me to supervise the prefectures and counties to prepare food and grass in anticipation of the arrival of the ruler of the country." After saying this, he took out the dragon There is a piece of paper with a message on it: "To prepare embarrassing food for Yang'an Long Tao Mansion". This kind of dragon tablet was used by Sun Kewang when delivering orders, and he had made many of them. The one he had was imitated by someone ordered by Li Dingguo.

"You are the propagandist general of the king? Why haven't I seen you before?" Liu Zhenguo is also considered Sun Kewang's confidant. Most of the heralds around Sun Kewang know him well, and they can't help but be suspicious when they see a new face.

"The general was recently promoted to the king's side," Yang Xiang argued forcefully.

"Hmph! I think you must be a spy. Forget it, leave it to the governor." Liu Zhenguo escorted him to see Bai Wenxuan.

When he saw Bai Wenxuan, Yang Xiang's heart skipped a beat because Bai Wenxuan and Li Dingguo had an old relationship, and as Li Dingguo's confidant, he had met before.

Unexpectedly, when Bai Wenxuan saw him, he seemed to not recognize him at all. He pretended to look at the dragon tablet and said with a smile: "Since he is a person close to the king, he should be treated with wine and food." After treating him to a meal, he was allowed to move freely in the city.

Yang Xiang was able to enter the city to pay an audience with Emperor Yongli and present the secrets. The secret book reads: "The vassal official Li Dingguo would like to report: I will unite the troops to welcome the Hu, and I will arrive at Jiji in a few days. I will send a message to Wan'an in advance, and do not listen to the traitors and rebels." The memorial is also stamped with the Yongli calendar. The seal of "Pinghan's relatives" given by the secret edict is a letter.

"General Li will live up to me!" Emperor Yongli was very excited after seeing the stranger, and ordered Yang Xiang to repay Li Dingguo immediately.

"Ye Baihu, it's not good. The sentinel reported that the Xifu army has arrived not far outside the city." On the 16th of the first lunar month, Fan Yingxu and Zhang Yingke inquired about the movements of Li Dingguo's army and reported to Ye Yingzhen.

"Let's go, follow me into the palace quickly. This time I will kidnap them even if they are kidnapped." Ye Yingzhen hurriedly led his soldiers into the palace in uniforms, forcing Emperor Yongli and Queen Wang to immediately ride to Guiyang. The emperor and empress refused, so several soldiers held them up and dragged them out. For a while, "weeping could be heard throughout the palace."

"Ye Baihu, what are you doing?" At the critical moment, Bai Wenxuan also came with troops. His subordinates were more numerous and quickly surrounded Ye Yingzhen. Seeing that he was arrogant to the emperor, he called over and said: "The king I am afraid that Anxi will return to the Qing Dynasty, so those who greet us are afraid of being caught in an unexpected situation. Things must be slow and easy. If it is forced to this point, the jade leaves and golden branches of the imperial court will not affect my life. If there is an accident, can I accept the responsibility? Now I Go and explore, if Anxi Guotong Qing soldiers come, it is not too late to move. If it is Anxi who returns the army, they are a family, how can we be persecuted and bring about the consequences!"

Ye Yingzhen had no choice but to give in. In the early morning of the 22nd day of the first lunar month, heavy fog filled the air. Suddenly, dozens of cavalrymen arrived at the city. They circled the city and shouted: "The soldiers from the West Prefecture have arrived!" There was thunderous joy in the city. Ye Yingzhen heard this and led his troops to flee back to Guiyang. Then the sound of cannons came from far to near, and Li Dingguo's pro-reunion army arrived in Anlong and entered the city to pay homage.

"I have known you for a long time about your loyalty and righteousness, but I hate to meet you so late." Emperor Yongli personally stepped down from the throne and helped the hero who rescued him.

Li Dingguo was so excited that he burst into tears and said: "I have received the favor of your majesty, and I want to take two Guangdong to welcome Luan Yu. Not only does this not only disobey the minister's wishes, but it also causes your majesty a lot of worry, and I will be unable to redeem myself even if I die."

The monarch and his ministers expressed sympathy to each other but did not mention it, but the matter was not over yet. Anlong was too close to Guizhou, and Guizhou was within Sun Kewang's sphere of influence, and Li Dingguo lost a lot of soldiers in the Battle of Xinhui. If the emperor stayed in Anlong, he would not be able to protect the emperor. Therefore, after returning to camp from the court meeting, he discussed the move with Bai Wenxuan, and the two agreed that moving to Kunming would be the best option.
