(PS: There are two updates today, and the first update is delivered. Newcomers and new books are newly uploaded, please ask for suggestions and collections.)
"Come on, push this Lu Yifeng out and chop him off!" Wang Shirong, who felt that Feng Xiang was not pleasing to his eyes from the first time he saw Feng Xiang, immediately became amused when he saw Wu Sangui get angry, and hurriedly yelled to let him go. The guards of the palace pushed Feng Xiang out and chopped him into seventeen or eight pieces.Over there, Wu Sangui's guards also rushed over like a conditioned reflex, and almost pushed Feng Xiang to his knees on the ground in the blink of an eye.But fortunately, Liu Xuanchu, who was present at the scene and thought Feng Xiang was pleasing to the eye from the first time he saw Feng Xiang, immediately opened his mouth and shouted: "Stop, let him go!"

The two most favored counselors under Wu Sangui issued two diametrically opposite orders at the same time. The guards holding Feng Xiang were a little embarrassed, they could only turn their eyes to Wu Sangui together, waiting for Wu Sangui's final decision.And Wu Sangui regained his composure at this moment, strode up to Feng Xiang, grabbed Feng Xiang's braid, pulled Feng Xiang to look at him, stared into Feng Xiang's eyes and said word by word: "Boy! , you tell me, how cowardly and cowardly is this king? I can’t name a single Chou Yinmao, I promise, I will make you regret being born into this world!”

Facing Wu Sangui's death threat, Feng Xiang showed no fear, but asked calmly: "My lord, if you are not cowardly and cowardly, why did you go to the court to ask for the handing over of the power of the chief executive of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces? Why did the lord take the initiative to ask the lord to hand over this power? Isn't this your cowardly patient, lord?"

"Lu Yifeng, don't talk nonsense to me!" Wu Yingqi also followed, and while killing chickens and wiping his neck, he gave Feng Xiang a wink and asked Feng Xiang not to hurt himself, while shouting: "Father, it is because of an eye disease, that's why you can't do it!" Volunteer to relieve you of the responsibility of being in charge of Yunnan-Guizhou affairs! Come on, kowtow to your father and make amends, and I can also intercede for you to avoid death, or I will kill you myself!"

"Second prince, are the prince's eyes really sick?" Feng Xiang asked calmly: "Since the prince's eyes are not feeling well, why was the prince able to see clearly the appearance of the humble servant just ten steps away?"

Hearing this, Wu Sangui and Wu Yingqi were both taken aback, only to realize that Wu Sangui had accidentally exposed his flaws just now.Feng Xiang really deserved to be bold, careful and courageous, and said word by word: "My lord, maybe Kunming and the capital are far away, but as long as there are people around the lord, there is still a way from Kunming to the capital, and there are still people coming and going. Whether the prince's eyes are sick or not, the capital will definitely know. I've finished talking about the lowly position, if you want to kill or cut, let the prince decide."

Wu Sangui's body shook, he lowered his head and stared at Feng Xiang for a long time, then slowly let go of the mouse tail on Feng Xiang's head, and turned back to look at Liu Xuanchu, Liu Xuanchu nodded to Wu Sangui with a calm expression.Wu Sangui's expression changed, his viper-like eyes suddenly turned to Wang Shirong, and he gave Wang Shirong a vicious stare. Wang Shirong shrank his head, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Wu Sangui's fierce eyes.In the end, Wu Sangui turned around and left, without looking back, he said: "Ying Qi, bring Lu Yifeng into the west wing of Lie Cuixuan, and then call a banquet for him to drink with the king. And Mr. Mao Xia , you come too."

"Yes." Wu Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly waved away the guards who were holding Feng Xiang away, then pulled Feng Xiang up himself, and whispered in Feng Xiang's ear: "Slave dog, you almost scared me to death just now Yes! But luckily for you, it happened to be on point. Liu Xuanchu was very opposed to Wang Shirong’s strategy at the beginning, and it seems that the father is beginning to regret it now. When it comes to the wine table, please be careful with what you say. Don't be as unrestrained as an idiot, you are a person promoted by Lao Tzu, you have to stand up for Lao Tzu, don't hurt Lao Tzu." Feng Xiang sneered in his heart, but promised submissively on his mouth.

Led by Wu Yingqi through a moon cave door, and then through a large area of ​​colorful flowers and plants, Feng Xiang entered a remote and elegant room. There was a table in the room. Wu Sangui sat in the first place with his eyes closed, and Liu Xuanchu sat in the second seat. Smoking a pipe, seeing Feng Xiang coming in, Liu Xuanchu didn't say a word, but pointed at the last seat with a pipe gun to signal to sit down, Feng Xiang understood, saluted and sat down on the bottom seat without saying a word, Wu Yingqi also sat on the third seat seat.After a while, more than a dozen charming maidservants filed in with wine and vegetables, presented a table full of wine and vegetables, and then bowed and left.It wasn't until Wu Sangui, Feng Xiang, Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi were left in the room that Wu Sangui opened his eyes, smiled at Feng Xiang and said, "Lu Yifeng, you are very lucky. Just now, if you told me yesterday The king said, this king will definitely kill you."

"Thank you, my lord, for not killing me." Feng Xiang left the table and bowed down, thanking Wu Sangui hypocritically.Wu Yingqi next to him asked curiously: "Father, why did you kill Lu Yifeng yesterday but not today?"

"Because your uncle, Mr. Liu Maoxia, happened to say something similar to me last night, and pointed out that the root cause of this embarrassing situation for this king is that his position was too weak when he asked for the decree to return the management of local government affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou!" Wu Sangui replied lightly. : "If it was Wang Shirong or Fang Guangchen, my father would definitely suspect that Lu Yifeng was ordered by them to help me, but Mr. Maoxia is different. I believe him."

"Has Liu Xuanchu also seen the cowardice and cowardice of the old traitor Wu Sangui?" Feng Xiang peeked at the calm Liu Xuanchu, and felt more and more admiration for this plain old man.Wu Yingqi asked Liu Xuanchu in surprise: "Mr. Maoxia, can't you? You also think my father is cowardly and cowardly?"

"Second prince, the prince is not cowardly and cowardly, but too weak to the court, which has led to the court's progress." Liu Xuanchu said calmly: "Since the end of last year, Kangxi Xiaomazi has ordered his cronies to attack the prince repeatedly, in order to further weaken the prince. Strength and the ultimate reduction of feudal clans to build momentum and lay the foundation of public opinion, to make things difficult and harsh for the prince. Under such circumstances, the prince did not take tough measures to fight back. The power to manage the affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces is used to test the court's true attitude towards the prince. It turned out to be self-defeating, and Kangxi Xiaomazi, who is in charge this year..."

Speaking of this, Liu Xuanchu paused, glanced at Feng Xiang's expression lightly, and then continued: "Little Pocky Kangxi accepted the prince's request without hesitation, and really lifted the prince's power. This has led to the prince's current passive and embarrassing situation."

"Mr. Maoxia, you don't have to hide it for this king. This king is indeed timid, so I listened to Wang Shirong's bad idea." Wu Sangui said slowly: "This king originally thought that the merits established by this king for the court can only This king is loyal to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely not treat this king to death. After a hundred years, he can also achieve a good story with the current emperor. Therefore, in order to show loyalty to the imperial court, in the 17th year of Shunzhi, the imperial court Asking the king to abolish the army, the king did not hesitate to abolish the 4000 troops to [-]. In the fourth year of Kangxi, the king took the initiative to appeal to the court, requesting the disarmament, and cut off more than [-] people. Only [-] troops were left to guard the Yunnan-Guizhou region. But what I didn’t expect was that my step-by-step retreat was rewarded with the imperial court’s aggressiveness and aggressiveness... Alas——!”

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui let out a long sigh and said nothing, and Liu Xuanchu who was next to him continued, "Master Lu, your analysis is very correct. Since the Chinese New Year this year, there have indeed been many unfavorable voices against the prince in the court, and some of them are still It has been proven that it was instigated by the people at the top of the imperial court. Because of this, the prince listened to Wang Shirong's bad idea, and took the initiative to submit a petition to the imperial court to request the removal of the management power of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. It turned out to be self-defeating, and the imperial court agreed immediately. , Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and Admiral of Yunnan and Guizhou’s memorial requesting the imperial court to take back the order were also rejected, which immediately forced the prince into a dilemma.”

"Mr. Liu, please forgive my junior for being rude." Feng Xiang finally opened his mouth, and said surprisingly: "This junior doesn't think Mr. Wang Shirong's strategy is a bad idea, but a brilliant move."

"What?" Liu Xuanchu was a little dumbfounded, thinking that you, Lu Yifeng, took the wrong medicine, and just now I rescued you from Wang Shirong's sword, and you actually helped him speak to refute me?Wu Sangui over there was also very surprised, sat up straight and asked Feng Xiang: "Lu Yifeng, Wang Shirong wanted to kill you just now, and you still speak for him?"

"Back to your lord, I'm a straightforward person. I think that the misunderstanding between me and Mr. Wang is just a personal holiday, and we can solve it privately." Feng Xiang didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, as if he said loyally: "But as long as Mr. Wang said , As long as the things you do are beneficial to the prince, the humble official who is a subordinate of the prince and who has received the kindness of the second prince will definitely support him. The humble official will never go Do."

"Well said, it's not in vain for me to promote you." Wu Yingqi laughed and patted Feng Xiang on the shoulder, very satisfied with Feng Xiang's disguised flattery in his words.But Wu Sangui, who is old and treacherous, will not be intoxicated by Feng Xiang's bowls of ecstasy soup, so he just said to Feng Xiang: "It's good if you have this kind of heart, then tell me, Wang Shirong has forced this king into an embarrassing situation Your idea is not a bad idea, where is the reason?"
