"I said, I'll say anything, Sigege, spare me!" Seeing Kong Sizhen, who is as beautiful as a flower and as hearty as a snake, raised the red-hot soldering iron in front of her, Feng Xiang, who was afraid that his handsome appearance would be ruined, panicked completely. , and didn't care about the dangerous consequences of betraying Wu Sangui, he hurriedly yelled like a pig: "Si Gege, you can say whatever you want to be a humble job, spare me, Si Gege—!"

"Bitch, you don't want to drink a toast! I thought your bones were so hard!" Kong Sizhen snorted coldly with a ferocious expression, threw the soldering iron back into the brazier, and changed back to his habitual charming face, giggling. : "Master Lu, then please, my family can warn you, it is best not to play tricks and trick my family with sweet words. Otherwise, if my family gets angry, Master Lu will not be as simple as eating a soldering iron."

"I don't dare for a humble job, I don't dare for a humble job." Feng Xiang even begged for mercy, and while thinking quickly in his heart, he said cautiously: "Si Gege, then I have a small request for such a humble job, I hope Si Gege must grant it—— I hope that Si Gege will keep the matter that Beizhi explained to you, Si Gege, otherwise, Prince Pingxi will definitely make Beizhi's death a hundred times more miserable."

"Of course." Kong Sizhen pinched Feng Xiang's face with a charming smile, and said sweetly: "As long as Master Lu tells the truth and listens to the arrangement of the slave family, then the slave family will not reveal this matter, on the contrary, Maybe the slave family will reward you, Master Lu."

"Thank you, Si Gege, thank you very much." Feng Xiang thanked repeatedly, and then said: "Then Si Gege, please ask, the humble job must know everything, talk endlessly, and you are satisfied with keeping Si Gege."

"Very good, Mr. Lu is very smart." Kong Sizhen nodded in satisfaction, then stopped her charming smile, and asked in a deep voice: "On the morning of September [-]th in the sixth year of Kangxi, you begged to see Wu Sangui at the foot of Wuhua Mountain. Wu Sangui opened a pulse report, and Wu Sangui immediately agreed to interview you, what was written on the pulse report?"

"Xiaozhi wrote sixteen characters on the pulse case." Feng Xiang saw that it was not a serious matter, so he replied truthfully: "The sixteen characters are: The disease of King Xi is rooted in the heart. If you want to get rid of the disease, You must heal your heart first."

"What is the root cause of Wu Sangui's heart disease?" Kong Sizhen asked sharply: "You are a small new county magistrate, and you have never been to Kunming, let alone the capital. How did you know Wu Sangui's heart disease?"

Kong Sizhen's two questions are still irrelevant, Feng Xiang thought for a while and decided that it is better to tell the truth, so he told the truth about how he analyzed Wu Sangui's embarrassing situation through the mansion newspaper, and how Wu Sangui's probing of the court turned out to be self-defeating .But Kong Sizhen refused to believe that Feng Xiang was able to analyze court secrets from the palace newspapers publicly issued by the Qing court at first, until he sent someone to collect this year's court palace newspapers for comparison, Kong Sizhen believed Feng Xiang's words, and Couldn't help but praise: "Lord Lu, I can't see that you are not amazing, but you are full of strategy. You can analyze so many things from these trivial things. It seems that my family is going to give a memorial to the emperor. Please give me your attention." Pay attention to the news published in the mansion newspaper, and don’t let people like Mr. Lu touch the secrets of the court’s actions again.”

"Si Gege won't win the prize." Feng Xiang replied with a sad face: "In the final analysis, the humble job is just a small skill, and Si Gege you are the skill of slaying the dragon - the humble job wrote a letter at the foot of Wuhua Mountain on September 1th, and it has only been a few days My God, you can feel it clearly at four squares. This kind of ability, even a humble job can't catch up in [-] years."

"Really? Your mouth is so sweet." Kong Sizhen smiled happily, pinched Feng Xiang's waist, and said with a coquettish smile: "So sweet-mouthed Mrs. Lu, now you can tell my family what kind of offer you gave Wu Shibo Is it a cure for heart disease?"

"It's the key." Feng Xiang was a little nervous, and said in his heart: "Teacher Liu Xuanchu once warned me that I must not let the Tartar court know about the self-respecting plan I offered to the old traitor Wu Sangui, otherwise, no matter whether it is Ao Da Huzi or Kang Xiaomazi can't spare me. But if I don't tell the truth, what should I say to this female traitor? This female traitor is lewd and cunning, if I show some flaws, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from her eyes... "

"What are you thinking?" Kong Sizhen suddenly exerted force on Feng Xiang's waist, twisting the soft flesh on Feng Xiang's waist, and said with a sneer, "I warn you, if you dare to play tricks, be careful with your head!"

"Humble job... low job...." Feng Xiang was in a hurry, and Kong Sizhen's followers picked up the soldering irons again, staring at Feng Xiang with poisonous snake-like eyes, and waited for Kong Sizhen's order, and then they started to fight Feng Xiang. Xianghuo live baked Guangxi crispy meat.But Feng Xiang got an idea under his nervousness, and hurriedly shouted: "Sigege, if you say something about the humble job, you must not leak it out - the prescription that the humble job gave the prince is to ask the prince Pingxi to go to the court and ask him to withdraw." Fan!"

"Please withdraw the feudal clan?!" Kong Sizhen suspected that his ears had misheard—how much Kong Sizhen's masters hoped that Wu Sangui would propose to withdraw the feudal clan by himself, so longing for this wish that even after Feng Xiang said it himself, Kong Sizhen was a little bit dissatisfied Can't believe my ears.Surprised, Kong Sizhen said in a dark voice: "My surname is Lu, you are a three-year-old child? How dare you say in front of Wu Sangui that Wu Sangui asks him to withdraw from the feudal clan?"

"Damn, how did this female traitor grow up?" Feng Xiang groaned in his heart, but he asked back: "Si Gege, a humble official of the imperial court, a loyal and loyal official in the Qing Dynasty, why don't you dare say such things to the prince? ? If the prince asks himself to withdraw from the vassal, the imperial court’s suspicion of the prince will be eliminated. If the court is no longer suspicious, what else does the prince need to worry about? Wouldn’t the prince’s heart disease be cured? Isn’t the prescription of humble job the right symptom?”

"Really?" Kong Sizhen was skeptical, but Feng Xiang's words did have some truth. If Wu Sangui really asked to withdraw from the feudal clan, then the suspicion of Kong Sizhen's master would naturally be eliminated, and Wu Sangui would naturally not have to worry about the court doubting himself. Difficulty sleeping and eating.So after thinking about it for a while, Kong Sizhen tentatively asked again: "Then how did Prince Pingxi react after you prescribed this medicine? Did you agree to use your medicine?"

"Si Gege was just joking." Feng Xiang said with a wry smile, "it's such an earth-shattering thing to ask to withdraw from the feudal clan, how could the prince accept it all at once? After the humble job prescribed this prescription, the prince didn't say a word at all, neither agreed nor objected. .”

"In this case, why don't you take the shortcut in Guizhou and Hunan when you go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit as usual, but why do you want to go to Guangxi instead of going to Guangdong?" Kong Sizhen asked calmly: "Also, why did Wu Sangui Want to send his palace guards to protect you? What are you doing in Guangdong?"

"Under the order of the prince, I went to Guangdong to visit the prince of Pingnan." Feng Xiang replied hesitantly, while he was quickly thinking about how to deal with Kong Sizhen's next questioning.But Kong Sizhen didn't give Feng Xiang a chance to think about it at all, and immediately asked: "Why did Wu Sangui send you to see Shang Kexi?"

"This..., it's a long story." At this point, Feng Xiang could only procrastinate for time and find ways to make up a reason. After a little calculation, Feng Xiang pouted at his shirt, which had been stripped and put aside. , Said: "Sigege, there is a book in that dress, please take it out first."

Kong Sizhen winked at the entourage next to him, and one of the entourages immediately went up to pick up Feng Xiang's jacket, found out the "Mao Xia Policy Questions Collection" that Liu Xuanchu had passed on to Feng Xiang from inside, and held it in front of Kong Sizhen with both hands.Feng Xiang explained: "Si Gege, this book "Mao Xia Policy Questions Collection" was given to me by Mr. Liu Xuanchu, the number one counselor next to Prince Pingxi, Mr. Liu. This book is also written by him.”

Kong Sizhen recalled for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Xuanchu has such a name, but why did that old Liu Xuanchu give you this book?"

"Because Mr. Liu Xuanchu's mind is the same as that of a lowly post, and he also hopes that the prince will ask him to withdraw from the feudal clan." At this point, Feng Xiang had no choice but to put shit on the head of his hardcore anti-Qing master, and said plausibly: " In fact, it was Mr. Liu's idea that the prince sent a lowly official to Guangdong to visit the prince of Pingnan. Because although Mr. Liu hoped that the prince would ask him to withdraw from the feudal clan, he would dispel the court's suspicion of the prince and at the same time leave a loyal name for the prince through the ages. But the prince is not the only prince in the world. Even if the prince accepts the advice of Mr. Liu and the humble official and asks to withdraw from the feudal clan, he still has to worry about the feelings of the princes of Pingnan and Jingnan, right? The prince can’t ask for the withdrawal on the table alone. Fan, as a loyal minister of the court through the ages, will you leave the other two princes with eternal infamy?"

"Wu Sangui really has such a good heart?" Kong Sizhen was a little surprised, and said in his heart that if that old Wu Sangui could really ask himself to withdraw from the domain and honestly hand over his military power seal, the masters would be able to save a lot of worry. It will also be able to dominate the country for thousands of years.

"Si Gege, dare to say something offensive in a lowly position, don't you trust the prince too much?" Feng Xiang said cautiously: "If the prince really has a different heart, then why did the prince obey the court's order in the 17th year of Shunzhi and cut down half of the army? In [-], why did you take the initiative to ask for a [-]% reduction in the army to reduce the burden on the court? The loyalty of the prince and the humble officials to the court can be demonstrated, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other, why can't they take the initiative to propose withdrawal?"

In just five years, Wu Sangui laid off more than [-]% of the army twice. This is indeed a fact, and it is also an ironclad proof that Wu Sangui voluntarily gave in because he was afraid that the Manchu court would suspect him. Kong Sizhen and Kong Sizhen's masters also knew this. He knew it well, so Feng Xiang said it now, which made Kong Sizhen somewhat believe it.After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Kong Sizhen nodded slightly, and said softly: "Yes, from the point of view of Wu Sangui's initiative to ask for disarmament, if someone really persuades Wu Sangui to take the initiative to ask for withdrawal, Wu Sangui may accept this suggestion."

"Yeah." Feng Xiang took the opportunity to say: "Sige Mingjian, I dare not tell half a lie, old Mr. Liu Xuanchu told me that after hearing the advice from him and me, my lord has indeed been tempted, and some want to He took the initiative to submit a petition to withdraw the domain and return to his hometown in Liaodong to provide for the elderly. But it is a pity that the prince has to worry about the feelings of the two princes of Pingnan and Jingnan. Therefore, Mr. Liu Xuanchu, who appreciates the low position quite a lot, gave the prince another idea, let the low position take the opportunity of going to Beijing to meet the saint, and go to Guangdong to see the Pingnan prince, and test the Pingnan prince's willingness to come forward. The attitude of asking for the withdrawal of the feudal clan."

"Si Gege, you must ask, the lord leaves so many civil servants and military generals unused, why did you send such a low-ranking sesame official to be this envoy, to test the attitude of the lord Pingnan?" Feng Xiang said eloquently: " In fact, I also asked Mr. Liu Xuanchu this way, but Mr. Liu Xuanchu smiled back and asked me, how many of the civil servants and generals under the prince will sincerely support the prince to ask the court to withdraw the vassal? Except for the humble one who is loyal to the court and the prince Seventh-rank Zhima official, how many of them will try their best to persuade Prince Pingnan and Prince Pingxi to join the petition and ask the court to withdraw the feudal domain?"

"That's right." Kong Sizhen finally believed some of Feng Xiang's words, and thought to himself: "This Fatty Lu is right. Wu Sangui disarmed the army twice, took his eldest son Wu Yingxiong as a hostage in Beijing, and hanged the barbarian emperor Yongli with his own hands. From these aspects, it is possible for Wu Sangui to accept the proposal to withdraw the vassal. But even if Wu Sangui agrees, the people under Wu Sangui, such as Wu Yingqi, Xia Guoxiang and Ma Bao, will definitely not support Wu Sangui's decision. After all , Their prosperity and wealth are all attached to Wu Sangui, if Wu Sangui voluntarily asks to withdraw from the feudal clan and loses power, how can they enjoy the glory, wealth, money and handsome men?"

"Okay, this stinky bitch believes it a little bit." Feng Xiang looked at his words and found that Kong Sizhen couldn't help but feel secretly happy, so he quickly said while the iron was hot: "Si Gege, now you should know why Mr. Liu Xuanchu gave this book to the humble job, and why Did you send the prince to go to Guangdong by detour? Because there are so many people under the prince's command, only the loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty publicly expressed his support for the prince's request to withdraw the feudal domain. Like Mr. Liu Xuanchu, in order to let the prince accept our suggestion, Mr. Liu Xuanchu left a Qiangu Zhongming, besides sending humble officials to Guangdong, who else can we send?"

"That's true. If this Fatty Lu can really persuade Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui to jointly submit a request to withdraw the feudal clan, then only Wu Sangui's cronies will suffer, but this Fatty Lu can make great contributions to the court and become a A hero of the imperial court." Kong Sizhen finally believed Feng Xiang's words, and at the same time he was secretly happy, if he could use this fat man Lu to persuade Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to submit a petition to withdraw the vassal at the same time, then he would really have made great contributions to the masters.

"So, Mr. Lu, this time, my family and you are flooded into the Dragon King Temple." After thinking for a long time, Kong Sizhen showed a charming smile again on her pretty face, and said with a chuckle: "However, Mr. Lu, my family Another thing is very strange, since you are thinking of the imperial court and Prince Pingxi, and want to persuade Prince Pingxi and Prince Nan to take the initiative to request the withdrawal of the feudal clan, then when the slave family sent the Guangxi army to secretly monitor you, why did you want to get out of your shell and get rid of the slave family's pursuit? Soldiers? And after being captured alive by the slave family just now, you have already guessed the identity of the slave family, why didn't you directly report this matter to the slave family? You have to be punished before you are willing to confess?"

"Could it be that, Mr. Lu, you are guilty?" With a charming smile, Kong Sizhen's smile became ferocious again, and he stared into Feng Xiang's eyes and said word by word: "In other words, none of your words, Mr. Lu, are true. The knife is on the neck, so you made up these words to deceive the servant?"

"You are wronged! You are wronged! You are wronged by your lowly position! Si Gege, you are wronged by your lowly position!" Feng Xiang scolded Kong Sizhen for being insidious and cunning, while quickly calculating. Said: "Si Gege, who are you? The only daughter of Prince Dingnan, the only heir of Prince Kong Dingfan, how do you know that Si Gege supports Prince Pingxi's initiative to withdraw the domain? In case Si Gege you also If you are reluctant to withdraw your domain and give up Guangxi, is there still life in that humble position?"

"Hey, why did I forget my own position?" Kong Sizhen couldn't help laughing when he thought about it carefully. He was loyal to the court, and he came to Guangxi to monitor Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's group, and tried every means to eliminate the three for the masters. Fan—but these political stances and goals of my own have been well hidden in normal times, and almost no one knows about them except for a few confidantes. It's no wonder that Lu Yifeng is so afraid of himself.After all, persuading Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to take the initiative to request the withdrawal of the feudal clan was a matter of offending the four feudal clans of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian at the same time.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I am very satisfied with your answer." Kong Sizhen smiled again, turned around and ordered: "Put Mr. Lu down, apply medicine to him, take a bath and change clothes, and bring him to see me." After finishing speaking, Kong Sizhen Then she turned her head and cast a charming provocative look at Feng Xiang, and walked away with a coquettish smile.

Of course, a few years later, Kong Sizhen regretted his decision and married the palace, and a certain friend of Kong Sizhen even slapped Kong Sizhen's face one after another, cursing while slapping, "Bitch! Stinky bitch! At that time, if you, a bitch, killed Lu Yifeng, a big scourge, nothing would happen?" Kong Sizhen knelt down at the feet of his friend and wailed loudly, "Your Majesty, I didn't do it on purpose. At that time, the slave family really didn't know that he was such a scourge—! Otherwise, the slave family would definitely cut that scourge into pieces and vent their anger on the master!"
