scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 20
(PS: There are two updates today, the first one will be delivered, please ask for suggestions and collections.)
"My lord, then I will take the liberty to speak bluntly." The county magistrate Lu cleared his throat and said seriously: "Today, under the order of Prince Pingxi, this official risked his life to persuade the prince to withdraw his vassal for two reasons. Serve long live, be loyal to the country, and the second is for your own wealth and life, my lord... Don't stare, my lord, and just listen to the officer, when the lord wants to beat or kill me, the official will never frown."

"Say!" The old man Shang, whose face was getting more and more livid, shouted angrily.

The magistrate of Lu Da County showed no fear, and said loudly: "Dare to ask the prince, since ancient times, how many people with different surnames have been crowned kings, how many of them will have a good end? Your lord, your merits have surpassed the world, your rank is extremely high, the noble is extremely expensive, and the court rewards you. There is no reward, nothing to bestow, but the rich township of Guangdong can only be entrusted to the prince, and the prince is allowed to have a heavy army, sit in the silver palace, dig mountains and mines, cook sea salt, send tax collectors from counties, and ship overseas! You can only invite the gift of the prince's beloved son Shang into the capital, and settle in Xuanwumen, the current emperor personally bestows a mansion, pushes food and undresses, and rewards him every day!"

"My lord." The magistrate Lu's voice suddenly became heavy, and he said slowly: "Whenever I see this, even an outsider like a humble worker feels horrified, and his hair stands on end. Difficulty, like sitting on pins and needles—My lord, you who are also in the same situation, don’t you have any fear? A little worry? My lord, although you are making achievements right away, but the words such as the bird’s death and the rabbit’s dead dog, I think you Have you heard of it too?"

"Bold madman, how dare you say such a thing to the prince!" Jin Guang also stood up, and shouted with a livid face: "The current Emperor Kangxi is a holy candle, diligent in government and loving the people, and his chief assistant, Prime Minister Ao, is loyal to the country, wise and wise, Treating me with the same flesh and blood, the Prince of Pingnan, is a rare example of harmony between monarchs and ministers! You, a seventh-rank county magistrate, dare to say such words as to drive a wedge between the emperor and the prince. beheaded!"

"Mr. Jin, if these words of yours are not from the face, but from the heart, then you are the number one sinner in front of the prince!" The magistrate of Lu Daxian looked at Shang Kexi with a holy face and said loudly: "My lord Mingjian, these words of inferiority are by no means alienating you from today’s long live monarch and minister, but from the bottom of your heart for your lord’s sake! Your lord should be very clear in your heart that the court set up San Francisco in the first place to commend you and Wu and Geng. The second reason is that the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty caused disasters in the south of the Yangtze River and refused to accept Wanghua, so they had to set up San Francisco to control the place and consolidate the foundation."

"But now, the south has been settled, the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty have been basically wiped out, and the historical mission of the San Francisco has been completed! If you don't retreat forever, my lord, you will really make the San Francisco form a dead end and force the emperor to follow suit. Did Han Gaozu go on a tour to capture Han Xin? If that's the case, then Han Xin and Xu Dalanyu will be your prince's fate!"

"I will let you taste this fate first!" The old man Shang became furious, rushed over and pulled out the waist knife hanging on the wall.

At this time, Shang Wanyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, ran to the old traitor Shang, held down the old traitor Shang's wrist, and begged: "Father, please calm down, my daughter thinks that Lord Lu It makes sense, although the language is a bit biased, but it is all for the sake of your father, please think twice."

"Huh? It turns out that this little beauty is still reluctant to let me die." County magistrate Lu Da was overjoyed, and subconsciously believed that Shang Wanzhen was fascinated by her own beauty—so she couldn't bear to let herself be chopped off by the traitor Shang.And the old traitor Shang pushed Shang Wanyan away, and roared: "What do little girls know? Go away! This Lu fat pig actually cursed our Shang family to be ruined. If I don't kill him, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

"Father, my daughter begs you." Shang Wanyi knelt down on both knees, hugged the old traitor's fat legs, raised her pretty face and said in tears: "Father, my daughter knows that you actually agree with Lu in your heart." My lord's point of view is just to save face, so I have to kill him to vent my anger! But father, have you ever thought that if you killed Mr. Lu who dared to speak heartfelt words in front of you today, would anyone dare to say such things to you in the future? ?Father, loyal words are hard to hear!"

"Lord Lu, you are really powerful." Jin Guangyin said: "My lord is so angry with you, and Princess Gege cried so much for you, do you think you still have a chance to get out of this Pingnan Palace alive?"

"The lower official came to say these things to the lord today, and he was already prepared not to go out." The county magistrate Lu was nervous, but said with a nonchalant face: "If the lord really wants to kill the lower official to vent his anger, the lower official The big deal is to die for the country. I only have one plea, that is, I hope the prince can carefully consider the words of the next official for the sake of righteousness, and be a real example of the eternal king and minister with Long Live today! Destroy your future, leave your infamy forever, and leave a bad reputation forever!"

Having said that, the magistrate of Lu Da County, who spoke so beautifully, quietly touched another letter hidden in his arms, the letter of introduction from Kong Sizhen to the magistrate of Lu Da County, and was ready to throw it out at any time to save his life—— Standing behind Kong Sizhen was Kang Xiaomazi, it was impossible for the old traitor not to be scrupled.

After finishing speaking, County Magistrate Lu put his hands behind his back and said loudly, "My lord, if you want to kill the subordinate, do it. If the subordinate frowns, he is not a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Surnamed Lu, shut up, old lady!" Shang Wanyi suddenly became angry, and shouted with her eyebrows upside down, almost stunned our County Magistrate Lu—it turns out that this cold little beauty is also Will swear.Shang Wanyi was indeed angry, and shouted at the county magistrate Lu: "You want to be a bigan, don't pull my father's back!" After finishing speaking, Shang Wanyi turned to the old traitor Shang and said: "Father, You have been fooled by Lu Yifeng!"

"What did I fall for him?" Old traitor Shang asked his daughter doubtfully.

Shang Wanyi resumed her previous cold expression, and said seriously: "This Lu Yifeng is a traitor and seems loyal, and his purpose was very clear from the beginning. What he said and did was to anger you, my father, and force you to kill him. Use your father's eternal infamy in exchange for his eternal reputation. If you, father, are fooled and kill him, he will be famous all over the world, and his wife and son will be conferred. But you, father, will leave an eternal infamy and attract The whole court is talking about it!"

"Princess princess, I'm not married yet. I made a marriage and my wife died of illness before getting through the door. How can I seal my wife Yinzi?" The county magistrate Lu was anxious, and he hurriedly corrected it, but it was a pity that Shang Wanyi was right. The implication of the county magistrate Lu was deaf to it, and he just turned his head away coldly.

The old Shang traitor over there really deserves to be a hard-core traitor. Although he agreed with Lu Da County Magistrate just now for the sake of face, he had to put on a show. Now that there are steps to go down, he immediately threw the knife and said angrily: You are very knowledgeable, I almost fell for this Fatty Lu!"

"Lord Lu, since Prince Pingxi sent you to persuade Prince Pingnan to take the initiative to ask for the withdrawal of the feudal clan, why didn't he take the initiative to ask for the withdrawal of the Western clan?" Jin Guang asked coldly.

The old traitor Shang also sneered and said: "Yes, as long as that old bastard Wu Sangui is willing to give up the king, so will I! As long as he submits a request to withdraw the domain, I will also submit a petition!"

"My lord, my lord Pingxi can't get this badge at the moment." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said plausibly: "As for the reason, you know, lord, under the command of lord Pingxi, there are still many brothers and soldiers who followed him through life and death. Over the years, these soldiers have gone through fire and water for Prince Pingxi, going through fire and water, before their livelihood problems are resolved, how dare the prince submit a petition to withdraw the feudal domain? After the above request for withdrawal of the feudal domain was approved by the court, Prince Pingxi brought his family and relatives back to Liaodong for retirement What about the soldiers who have lived and died with the prince for many years? Now they can serve as soldiers and work hard for money. What will happen to them when they are old? Who will give them old age? Son? So, Prince Pingxi is still unable to submit a request to withdraw the domain, Prince Pingnan, now you should understand the difficulties of Prince Pingxi, right?"

"What?" The old traitor Shang and the dog-headed military advisor Jin Guang were tongue-tied once again - no one would have imagined that there is such a shameless person as the county magistrate Lu in the world!It is said that Wu Sangui refused to withdraw the feudal clan because of the pension problem of the soldiers in Yunnan and Guizhou, but he came to persuade us to withdraw the feudal clan in Guangdong!
