scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 195

The battle for Wuchang between the Wu army and the Qing army can basically be described as a series of twists and turns. At that time, the city gate of Yuezhou was suddenly opened to welcome the Wu army into the city, causing Yuezhou to change hands. The remnants of the Qing army led by Tu Hai and Yue Le had to flee back to Wuchang by water, so the Qing army entrenched in Wuchang City was up and down. They all fell into a state of despair, there were countless deserters, and calls for withdrawal to the north of the Yangtze River kept coming and going.

How critical was the situation of the Qing army in Wuchang at that time?It can be seen from the strict military law of the Qing army. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, more than 400 deserters in the city were executed by the commanders of the Qing army such as Tu Hai, Yue Le, and Cai Yurong themselves!But even so, the escape of soldiers in the city is still repeated and happens every day. Even Cai Yurong, the governor of the three provinces of Sichuan, Huguang and Guangxi, is a hard-core traitor who secretly confessed that his confidants are preparing ships and are ready to leave from Wuchang at any time. Shuimen fled across the river to Hankou or Hanyang for his life.

The first turning point occurred when the old traitor Wu made a mistake in his tactical decision-making. With the overall superiority in strength, weapons and morale, the old traitor Wu actually broke up the elite main force and reorganized the army, and the veterans led the recruits to reorganize the army!Doing so, while correct in the long run, can quickly increase the overall combat effectiveness of the new army.However, when the enemy is approaching, it is tantamount to breaking one's own arm. Not only can it not quickly improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Wu army, but for a considerable period of time, the main force of the Wu army, which has been honed through years of conquest of the Shuixi tribes. Elite, but their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, and they cannot form an overwhelming advantage over the Qing army.

The second stupid decision of the old traitor Wu was in the tactical direction. Although Fatty Lu repeatedly emphasized that Huguang must be captured first despite his nagging and infamy, the dog-headed military advisers of the old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and Wang Shirong, were also very clear about the Wuchang battlefield. However, the old traitor Wu still did not listen to their advice and invested heavily in the Wuchang battlefield, let alone the main force. Instead, he dispersed the army and took some non-important cities that were destined to fall into the hands of the Wu army. They dispatched [-] second-rate troops headed by newly surrendered soldiers, handed over to the famous [-] Wu Yingqi and the notoriously brave general Ma Bao, and asked them to attack this strategically important city of Wuchang.

Of course, it may not be said that the veteran Wu old traitor has no strategic vision at all, but Wu old traitor really underestimated the enemy this time. No matter how low the morale of the more than 2 Qing troops who fled back to Wuchang City, People are panicking, but they are always the elite selected by Oboi from the whole army of Qing Dynasty. The nearly [-] Huguang Qing army stationed in Wuchang are also the main soldiers under the command of Cai Yurong, a hardcore traitor and master of escape on the battlefield. The combination of the two and the fact that Wuchang City has high moats and deep moats, backed by the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and sufficient food and grass can consume ten generations of Wu Jun to death!At the same time, Tuhai, Yue Le, Cai Yurong, and Chani, the main generals of the Qing army, were all famous generals of the Qing Dynasty who were the last to kill Wu Sangui in history, and their commanding abilities were definitely considered top-notch in the world.So...

Underestimating the enemy and focusing on the enemy, fierce generals against wise generals, Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao can't afford not to suffer.What makes Lu Fatty and other Wu Jun insightful people even more angry is that Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao also have serious problems in the combination of arms. Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao are so stupid that they hold the Wu Jun airship that can change the direction of the battle. Let the airship fight alone, and act alone to blow up the houses in Wuchang City, instead of the air force and army fighting together, choose the effective beheading tactics of letting the army siege the city and the air force attack the enemy's flag array!

The result is also very natural. After more than a dozen dispatches of Wu Jun's airship, the precious dilute sulfuric acid was almost exhausted. Many houses and streets in Wuchang City were blown up, and more people were killed by the bombing. It also greatly shocked the morale and morale of the defenders. However, none of the important generals of Mite Qing was bombed.

But to be fair, Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao can't be completely blamed for their lack of strategy. The main reason is that the Qing army has also learned how to behave. Every time they go to the city to fight, there are several true and false flag formations, and each flag formation is released uniformly. The order was issued to unify the command flag. Wu Jun's airship was hundreds of meters above the sky, and it was really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, blowing up the real command flag array of the Qing army.Moreover, Tu Hai, Yue Le and others learned their lessons and formulated an effective command plan. Tu Hai's flag formation was destroyed, Yue Le went up, Yue Le's flag formation was destroyed, and Chani went up, and after Chani, Cai Yurong went up, and so on. Instead, even if the Wu army's airship destroys the real flag array of the Qing army, the Qing army's command system can still remain unimpeded.

Using the unprepared versus the well-prepared, storming the fortified city was insufficient both in strength and individual combat effectiveness. After several times of attacking the city, the result was naturally predictable. Although the Qing army led by Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao launched six strong attacks, Lost more than [-] soldiers of the Wu army, but not only failed to capture Wuchang City, but also boosted the morale and confidence of the Qing army, and found that the Wu army was actually nothing more than that, with one head and two hands, not the legendary three-headed and six-armed sky soldier As a general, the morale of the army gradually stabilized, and the situation of soldiers fleeing began to improve.

The second turning point occurred when the Henan Qing army reinforced Wuchang City in time. Just as the Wu army had been attacking Wuchang for a long time, [-] Henan Qing troops led by Henan General Zhou Bangning arrived in Hankou by land, and the Qing army's navy that ruled the river Help, enter Wuchang City from Shuimen, and provide strong support to the Qing army in Huguang, which is besieged in the isolated city. , Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao's troops were increasingly stretched, and their morale was naturally greatly depressed. Not to mention breaking Wuchang, whether they would be chased and killed by the Qing army on the way to retreat was probably an important issue.

Immediately afterwards, the Qing army realized that Luo Zhuman had also led [-] troops to Wuchang, but the Wuchang Qing army, which had greatly increased their confidence, did not need to rush to let this Qing army enter the city. After negotiating with Yue Le, Tuhai decided to send this Qing army to Jingzhou, another important town in Huguang, and join hands with the Labu Department of the Qing army stationed there to defend the city, forming a corner with the Qing army in Wuchang, supporting each other and Guard the Yangtze River defense line more effectively, and don't give Wu Jun the slightest chance to cross the river.

At this point, the defense line of the Qing army on the Yangtze River, which has already been frightened, has begun to take shape. With Wuchang as the center, Jingzhou, Jiujiang, and Nanchang as the two wings, it forms a semi-arc to block the Wu army's northward and eastward route. They are horns and rely on each other. Relying on the Yangtze River waterway to transport troops, food and grass, if there is an emergency, all places can provide support. At the same time, it also deters the grain-producing areas in the northern part of Hunan Province behind Wu Jun's new rear. The overwhelming momentum of the main attack has also faintly turned into a passive defense.

The third turning point occurred in Ye Bilong, the imperial envoy of the imperial court. After arriving in Wuchang, Ye Bilong, who was entrusted with the important task of negotiating by Xiao Mazi, immediately sent envoys to express his goodwill to the Wu army and demanded that the armistice negotiations be started, which has been completely lost. Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao, who had broken Wuchang's confidence, went down the donkey, stopped all military operations immediately, and sent fast horses to report the situation to Wu Sangui.As soon as this move came out, the Qing army in Wuchang City suddenly burst into cheers. They all saw the hope of the complete end of the Wuchang war, while the morale of the Wu army's siege team was completely wiped out. It is time to attack Wuchang City, which is impossible to break through.

Just when the Qing army was cheering up and down, and when the commanders of the Qing army such as Tu Hai and Yue Le were calculating how long it would take to accumulate strength before a full-scale counterattack, another thunderbolt sounded from the blue sky. The son-in-law Xia Guoxiang and his beloved general Gao Dejie were the vanguards, pointing the finger at Wuchang City, the main hub of the Yangtze River defense line of the Qing army, posing as if they would not give up if Wuchang City was not taken down!As a result, the Wuchang Qing army inevitably panicked again, and quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Is the old thief Wu Sangui crazy?" At the meeting, Bellezani was the first to shout: "A few days ago, didn't our spy work find out that the old thief Wu Sangui had fallen ill? Why is he personally leading the army to fight now? Wuchang? He doesn’t want his grandson’s life anymore? He doesn’t want to negotiate a truce with our Qing Dynasty?”

No one could answer Chani's question. The resourceful Tu Hai and Cai Yurong were present, and Ye Bilong and Yue Le were resourceful. None of them understood why the old traitor Wu suddenly raised his troops to the north again?Prior to this, the Wu army's strategic focus was clearly to control the entire territory of Pianyuan, rather than the Qing army's Yangtze River defense line in the north. They also sent envoys to Beijing to claim victory, and asked Xiao Mazi to reward the old man Wu for traitorous killing of the remaining party of Oboi. 'Great feat' proves that the old traitor Wu also hopes to have a truce with the Qing army and buy time to digest the newly occupied territory. Why now that Xiao Mazi has agreed to start negotiations, the main force of the Wu army has also shown signs of fatigue, and the old traitor Wu suddenly changed Strategic direction, personally leading troops north to attack Wuchang City?
"Perhaps, the old thief Wu Sangui has already seen the importance of Wuchang City." After a long time, Yue Le hesitated and said: "If the war ends when Wuchang City is in our hands, then we will not only be able to grasp the strategic initiative on the Huguang battlefield. It is also extremely difficult for a thief to break through our Yangtze River defense line. Therefore, the old thief Wu Sangui is likely to have such an idea, preparing to take Wuchang first, break our defense line blockade and offset our strategic initiative, and then negotiate with us It is in his best interest to cease fighting."

"The old thief has a good idea!" Cai Yurong said angrily: "Wuchang is the main hub of our Yangtze River defense line. It is rich in products and convenient in transportation. If you don't negotiate with the old thief Wu Sangui, you will definitely not let him take Wuchang Mansion!"

"There is going to be another fierce battle." Tu Hai said darkly: "The old thief Wu Sangui personally raised his troops to the north, and he will definitely not make the trip in vain. We must strengthen our preparations for defending the city. The city defense should be repaired and the trenches should be deepened. , don’t give Wu Sangui the slightest chance to get away with it.”

"The words in the picture are reasonable." Ye Bilong, the grand master with the highest official position at the scene, said slowly, "We have to be prepared with both hands, negotiating with one hand and defending the city with the other. By breaking the city and hoping, the old man will have more confidence at the negotiating table and minimize the loss for our Qing Dynasty."

"Yi Zhongtang, why don't you send an envoy to see the old thief Wu Sangui first?" Yue Le was calmer, and suggested: "Go and test the attacking attitude of the old thief Wu Sangui first, and ask the old thief Wu Sangui on the pretext that the emperor has approved the negotiation." Immediately negotiate a truce, and strive to make the Wuchang war invisible."

"This plan is very clever. This old man can also take this opportunity to test out the negotiating terms of the old thief Wu Sangui." Ye Bilong was very satisfied when he heard that, and immediately nodded and said: "The old man will let Zhe Erken go out of the city immediately, and go to see the old thief Wu Sangui on behalf of the old man."

........................

With the infinite expectations of the generals of the Qing Dynasty, Zhe Erken, the deputy of E Bilong and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty, led four entourages out of Wuchang City. After approval, Zheerken and his party went south along the official road under the supervision of Wu army soldiers, and met the main force of Wu army who was rushing northward in the area of ​​Futou Lake.After explaining the situation to the forward of Wu Jun's main force, after a long time, Zhe Erken was finally led to a small temporary tent on the side of the road, where he saw a handsome middle-aged man and a white, fat young man. handsome guy.

"Zhe Erken, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, has met the two adults." Judging from the age, the two people in front of him must not be old Wu traitors, so after bowing respectfully and saluting, Zhe Erken immediately asked tentatively: "Can you?" Do you dare to ask the two lords, Gao's surname, what position does he hold under the command of Prince Pingxi?"

"Zhe Shilang, long-awaited, long-awaited." The middle-aged man returned the salute with his hands clasped, and replied with a smile: "I am Xia Hu Guozhu, who has stolen the post of General Jinwu Zuo in the Pingxi Palace. Because my father-in-law is inseparable, I ordered my plenipotentiary to represent him. Negotiate with Mr. Zhe. If Mr. Zhe has anything to say, please just tell me.” After that, Hu Guozhu pointed at the handsome white and fat young man again, and introduced: “He is my deputy, the famous Lu Yifeng, Lord Lu."

"It turned out to be Hu Jinwu and Mr. Sanhao." Zhe Erken was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands to Fatty Lu and said, "Mr. Sanhao, I have admired your name for a long time, but it is a pity that when you went to see your majesty in the capital last time, your majesty It happened that I was not in Beijing, so I couldn't see the honor, and I was even regretful. To see you today, Sansheng is lucky."

"Master Zheer is too polite, what virtue and ability do you have, dare you to be so absurdly praised by your lord?" Fatty Lu clasped his fists in a very modest way, grabbed Zheerken's hands and shook them again and again, and asked with great concern: "Master Zhe, are Ye Zhongtang and Prince An okay now? Please tell them that Lu Yifeng is going north this time, because he is on the battlefield, so he really can't kowtow in front of them. Please don't be offended. After Prince Pingxi and the Qing court stopped fighting to make peace, Lu Yifeng kowtowed in front of them to plead guilty."

"Definitely, definitely." Zhe Erken nodded again and again, but he was relieved in his heart, saying that Tutang and Chanibeile were really harsh, and Lu Sanhao was obviously a very polite and modest gentleman. How could they say that Lu Yifeng was a What about the smiling tiger with a human face and a beast heart?

"Master Zhe, please sit down, please sit down here." As if to confirm Zheerken's good first impression of himself, Fatty Lu personally helped Zheerken to sit opposite Hu Guozhu, and gave Zheerken a seat with his own hands. Erken brought the fragrant tea and said respectfully: "Master Zhe, please use tea. It is inconvenient to entertain in the army. After the war is over, the subordinate officials will definitely prepare a feast. Thank you Lord Zhe for the crime of poor hospitality today."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Zhe Erken took the teacup gratefully, and applauded loudly after tasting it, "Good tea, sweet and mellow taste, full of fragrance in the mouth, saliva from the bottom of the tongue, really good tea."

"Master Zhe has good taste." Fatty Lu raised his thumb and said flatteringly: "This tea is produced on the Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake. It is called Silver Needle, also known as Gold Inlaid Jade. , I chose this kind of tea and brought it to Tubo. If Mr. Zhe likes it, I will ask someone to prepare two catties, and please take it back to Wuchang to enjoy."

Zheerken hurriedly thanked and declined, but Fatty Lu insisted on sending it, Zheerken had no choice but to thank him and accept it.At the end, Zheerken quickly turned the conversation to the topic and asked: "Master Hu, Mr. Sanhao, Zheerken is here under the order of the Grand Master Yebilongni of this dynasty. Dare to ask your army why I am here?" The army has expressed goodwill to your army and asked for an armistice negotiation. Prince Pingxi did not send an envoy or write a letter to refuse. Why did your army go north to Wuchang? Dare to ask the two adults, why? Could it be said that Prince Pingxi insisted on not accepting it? Your Majesty, Tianen, insists on fighting me to the end?"

"Master Zhe misunderstood." Hu Guozhu shook his head, and said slowly: "On the contrary, father-in-law and his old man led the troops to the north this time to negotiate with the Qing court."

"Then why did you bring so many troops here?" Zorken asked.

"Of course it's for Wuchang City." Hu Guozhu replied with a smile: "Father-in-law and his old man planned to negotiate with you to strike, but he didn't agree to a truce now, right? So, our negotiations can go on as usual, and the battle in Wuchang City can also go on as usual." Fight, talk while fighting, without any delay."

"Talking while fighting?" Zhe Erken was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Master Hu, can't we stop the war first and negotiate later?"

"Of course not!" Hu Guozhu categorically refused, and then said with a smile: "My lord, don't blame me for speaking directly. Before that, our Pingxi Palace also sent envoys to Beijing to demand an armistice negotiation, but in exchange What was the result? The heir of our Pingxi Palace was killed in prison! This time, if we cease the war and you don’t talk about it, what shall we do? Every time a hundred thousand soldiers from Yunnan and Guizhou waste a day under the city of Wuchang, what a waste! How much food and military pay, can our Pingxi Palace afford such a heavy burden?"

Zheerken was speechless, and after a while he reluctantly said: "Lord Hu, Mr. Sanhao, I'm really sorry, before the envoy came, Ye Zhongtang had told us that if your army doesn't stop fighting, we will never start negotiations! The two adults Wanwang report back to the prince, please think carefully."

"You don't need to report back to the prince." Hu Guozhu replied with a smile: "You can answer Mr. Zhe right now. If your army insists on doing this, you won't start negotiations if the war doesn't stop. It’s not too late to negotiate with the city.”

"If your army insists on attacking Wuchang, then we will no longer negotiate with your army." Zhe Erken replied with a straight face: "If your army insists on not truce, then we will refuse all negotiations. The premise of the negotiation of the Pingxi Palace must be based on the fact that your army will no longer attack Wuchang."

"It's okay." Fatty Lu interjected, smiling and said, "Master Zhe, please report back to Ye Zhongtang. If he refuses to negotiate after we capture Wuchang, it's okay. Our Pingxi Palace will go down the river to take Jiangxi, then Jiangnan, and cut off the Qing Dynasty." Water transportation. At that time, our Pingxi Palace will not be responsible for all the consequences, and the old man Ye Zhongtang will bear it all!"

Zhe Erken's heart trembled, and then he reluctantly agreed with Tuhai and Chani's evaluation of Fatty Lu—the real smiling tiger, who saw the weakness of the Qing army's urgent need to negotiate an end to the war and take time to prepare for the war, and also saw the weakness of Ye Bi. Long didn't dare to bear the responsibility for the breakdown of the negotiation, so he grasped these two points and clung to them, but we didn't want any luck.Frightened and angry, Zhe Erken hurriedly asked Hu Guozhu: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Sanhao's words, can it represent the attitude of your Pingxi Palace?"

"Of course." Hu Guozhu replied with a smile: "The lower official has already introduced to Mr. Zhe just now, and San Hao is the lower official's negotiating assistant. Naturally, what he said is a thousand pounds, and the words can be followed."

"That's good." Zhe Erken nodded, and asked slowly: "Mr. Sanhao, since you threatened to attack Jiangxi and Jiangnan, my envoy, how much strength does your army have now to take down such a big army?" place?"

"Hehe." Both Fatty Lu and Hu Guozhu laughed, Fatty Lu took out a letter from his arms, put it in front of Zhe Erken, and said with a smile: "Master Zhe, read this letter, just rely on our Ping Xi It might be a little difficult to take down Jiangxi and Jiangnan, but what about adding a Yanping Palace? Your Excellency, ask yourself, can we do it?"

Zheerken hurriedly picked up the letter, opened it for a closer look, and Zheerken's face turned pale—this letter happened to be written by Zheng Jing of Taiwan. In the letter, Zheng Jing not only greatly praised Wu The old traitor smashed Oboi's extraordinary achievements, sent generous gifts to congratulate the old traitor Wu, and implored the old traitor Wu to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty in a pleading tone, saying that as long as the traitor Wu played the slogan of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, the Taiwanese army would immediately defeat Wu. The old traitor followed the lead, obeyed the command of the old traitor Wu, and joined forces with the Pingxi Palace to expel the Tartars and restore China!

"Master Zhe, have you read it clearly?" Fatty Lu pulled back the letter from Zhe Erken, and said slowly: "Master Zhe, please report back to Ye Zhongtang. I sneered at this letter from Zheng Ni in Taiwan. But if Ye Zhongtang resolutely refuses to negotiate, then our prince will act as a representative to the court and explain the situation to the Qing court. The old man forced us Prince Pingxi to join forces with Zheng Jing of Taiwan, all the consequences will be borne by Ye Zhongtang alone!"

The weather is cool in late autumn, but there are still a few drops of cold sweat on Zhe Erken's forehead——If the old traitor Wu really plays the banner that Ye Bilong refuses to negotiate and pushes himself back, then Ye Bilong and the others will return After arriving in the capital, how can he explain to Xiao Mazi and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?But Fatty Lu observed his words, and hit the iron while it was hot: "My lord, by the way, if our Lord Pingxi is really forced by you to join forces with Taiwan Zheng Ni, then our Lord Pingxi will definitely consider taking the captured Eight Banners Prince Baylor to show his sincerity." Ladies and gentlemen, send some of them to Taiwan to give to Zheng Jing’s rebels. ——At that time, all the consequences will still be borne by you.”

Zheerken sweated even more, and after a long while, Zheerken finally replied helplessly: "Mr. Afterwards, let Master Zhongtang decide whether to agree to fight with your army while negotiating."

"Of course." Hu Guozhu nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "Master Zhe, please discuss carefully with Ye Zhongtang. We have plenty of time, so we can wait patiently."

"I will do my best." Zheerken agreed helplessly, and then asked tentatively: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Sanhao, since your Pingxi Palace is also very sincere in negotiating, then I will dare to ask you one more question, what exactly is your army?" What kind of negotiating conditions must be put forward before we agree to a truce and peace with our Qing army?"

"Regarding this point, Mr. Zhe, please rest assured." Fatty Lu took the conversation away and said with a smile: "Our Pingxi Palace is all servants of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's servants, so naturally we will not embarrass the emperor. Make it difficult for the Qing court. We only have two conditions, no matter which one the emperor and the Qing court agree to, we can stop fighting immediately."

"Oh, so what are the two conditions?" Zorken asked impatiently.

"The first condition, of course, is to ask the emperor to release our prince's little grandson." Fatty Lu said lightly: "The second is to hand over the murderer who killed our son, and reward our Pingxi Palace for our country's efforts to eliminate rape and kill Oboi." The sacrifices made on the battlefield will compensate us for the money, food and military pay spent by the Pingxi Palace. In view of the military situation in the Southwest, it is enough to ask the emperor to allow our prince to manage a few more provinces of the Qing Dynasty."

Needing money, food, military pay, hostages, territory, and murderers, these were already expected by Ye Bilong, Zheerken and others, so Zheerken didn't show much surprise, but asked curiously: " Miyoshi, what about your second condition?"

"Our second condition is simple, just one sentence." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "Emperor Kangxi, please abdicate and establish a new emperor!"

"What?" Zhe Erken jumped up suddenly, and shouted: "What are you talking about? You want the emperor to abdicate?"

"Master Zhe, in fact, we don't want to bring up this point." Fatty Lu said with a very painful expression: "It's just that you have seen, Mr. Zhe, that after our young emperor ascended the throne, not only did he not show the slightest bit of benevolence, he did not The slightest benefit to the country and the people, on the contrary, it also sheltered and condoned a traitor like Oboi, causing harm to the country and the people, and poisoning the world. Therefore, our Pingxi Palace is bold and wants to ask the emperor to abdicate to let the virtuous, and establish a new elder king."

"Establish another older and new emperor?" Zheerken was furious, and asked angrily, "Then who do you want to establish as emperor? It won't be your Prince Pingxi, right?"

"Of course not." Fatty Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "Our Lord Pingxi is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, unparalleled in loyalty, loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and even more like a brother to the emperor. How dare we have the slightest desire to usurp the throne and seek rebellion? ——Our It means that I want to invite Prince An, Yue Le, to succeed me to the throne!"

"Will Prince An inherit the throne?" Zheerken was dumbfounded, so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears.

"Hahahaha..." At this time, Hu Guozhu suddenly laughed, stood up and waved, "Yifeng, why are you still so naughty? During the negotiation, you should stop joking with Mr. Zhe."

After that, Hu Guozhu turned to Zheerken again and said with a smile: "Don't blame Zheer, this is Yifeng joking with you. In fact, we only have one condition, which is the first one Yifeng said before. Please ask the emperor to supplement our military expenses and hand over the money." The murderer who killed the son and the younger grandson who returned to my father-in-law. The second condition is completely nonsense by Yifeng, so you must not take it to heart."

"Scared me to death." Zhe Erken let out a long sigh of relief, and complained again: "Master Hu, during the formal negotiation period of your Pingxi Palace, how can you make such a big joke? This is simply a joke!"

"Master Zhe taught you a lesson, and the next official will definitely teach Yifeng a lesson in a while." Hu Guozhu apologized again and again, and then suddenly said: "However, Master Zhe, you can't blame Yifeng for joking. In fact, there are people on your side who hope that we will propose such a Please let the emperor abdicate and let Prince An..."

"Uncle." Fatty Lu quickly pulled Hu Guozhu's sleeve. Hu Guozhu was taken aback, shut up quickly, and laughed, "Just kidding, kidding, don't blame me, don't worry about it, haha."

"A joke?" Zhe Erken was suspicious, "In our team, does anyone want the emperor to abdicate and let Prince An succeed?"
