First Prince of Qing Dynasty

The organs are exhausted, and the success is on the verge of failure.

Looking at the followers who fell to the ground beside him, and the subordinates who were captured in the courtyard, Zhu Hewei knew that this was the only power left in his hands. Today is really annihilation of the entire army, and he will never have the possibility of making a comeback.

Yinfeng looked at him: "Look, this is the consequence of forgetting to make up the knife."

Of course, even if you don't forget to make up the knife, it doesn't work.The personal guards were not really poisoned.Yinfeng had already reminded them.Therefore, they did not drink the tea that Duke Rex sent.They have been awake.Even if Zhu Hewei and others wanted to make up the knife, they would not succeed.Because Yinfeng never thought of using the life of the guard to deceive Zhu and Wei.

His order was, on the premise that he would not be harmed, try his best to do his best, and don't let Zhu and Wei see the flaws.If the actions of Zhu Hewei and others will endanger themselves, change the plan immediately.After all, Yinfeng's plan is not the only one.In addition to the guards as far as the eye can see, there are several snipers on the roof and in the opposite room with the closed door.If the enemy moves, he will be sniped before he makes a move.

Zhu Hewei closed his eyes, his face ashen.

Yinfeng turned around and looked at Huygens, Leibniz and Newton, who had been out of the situation because of being stunned from the beginning to the end, and had not been able to recover: "The three of you were shocked. I am afraid that the Wanguo Post Hotel will have to start again." After some rest, how about I ask the three of you to stay in another inn for a few days?"

Talking about it, before the three of them answered, Yinfeng had already waved to the captain of the personal guard to take the people away first, and he still did not forget to confess: "Be careful, Mr. Newton is still injured, don't be rash."

All the matters are properly arranged, polite and preferential treatment, but you want to refuse?no way.

After arranging the three of them, Yinreng looked at the small pond downstairs: "You follow, and bring a team of personal guards for protection, and take good care of the three gentlemen."

"Yes."

Xiao Chizi naturally understood what he meant, it was both serving and monitoring.Yinfeng had to find out first whether the three giants were involved in today's incident.If you participate, there is a way to participate.If you are not involved, there is no way to participate.

As soon as Xiaochizi left, a personal guard came to report: "Prince, Chunzhi is dying. She said she wants to see you, do you want to?"

"Go and see."

When Yinfeng arranged for the three giants, Chun Zhi had already been carried into the room, and some of the personal guards had already gone to the medical office to ask someone to come over to check his injuries.As for why the imperial physician was not invited, one reason is that Chun Zhi's status is not qualified, and the other reason is that the Humble Administrator's Garden is farther away than the medical office.

It's a pity that whether it's the imperial physician, the medical office or other doctors, Chun Zhi may not be able to wait.

When Yinfeng went in, Chunzhi was lying on the bed, his face was as white as paper, and his chest was drenched with blood.

Yinfeng sighed: "You don't need to come today."

Chunzhi shook his head: "They are watching closely, I am not completely free to move. So I can't ask that child if the paper flowers have been sold, and whether they have been sold to the people in the garden. Do you remember, and have you cracked it? I don’t dare to spread it too blatantly, for fear of being discovered by them. So..."

Yinfeng understands.Paper flowers are cumbersome to disassemble. If you don’t understand the steps, it is easy to tear apart, and the places that are easy to tear are at the corners.When torn, those hidden strokes are difficult to piece together.

And even if someone successfully disassembled the finished paper, if they are not careful, they will only pay attention to the middle lines of the poem, and will not focus on the strokes in the corners. Falling ink.

For this news, Chun Zhi can be described as painstaking.

Yinfeng's face was a little more moved: "Shut up, Gu has sent someone to call for a doctor."

Chun Zhi coughed, with blood overflowing from his mouth: "I was hit by a firecracker, and I couldn't save it. I...His Royal Highness, I never thought that I would get out alive when I came here today. They are all dead and arrested. I just signed up. I..."

Another cough.Yinfeng just wanted to ask her to rest for a while, but Chunzhi said: "I can't rest, I'm afraid I won't be able to open my eyes once I close them. I still have... still many things to say. I don't... can not sleep."

Yinfeng frowned, and his tone slowed down: "Okay, tell me. Listen."

"Zhu and Wei's other two children are in a small wooden house in the back mountain of Shili Village outside the city. I gave them medicine when I left, and only brought Tong'er here."

Chunzhi's breathing became short of breath, and he spoke intermittently: "His Royal Highness, it is your mother's intention to let me come to Jiangnan, and it is also your mother's intention to do all this. My mother... My mother has always regretted becoming a knife of the Tiandihui back then. She...she was thinking about the emperor and the court. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent me in to help...help the court..."

Yin Reng's eyes flickered, these words were obviously not true, he just wanted to add his own credit to Tong Jia's body, and help Tong Jia's crimes be alleviated.Unexpectedly, Tong Jia could not do anything else, but got two loyal servants.A spring warbler, willing to die for her.A Harue, who was still plotting for her after her death.With these two maidservants, Tong Jia's life was not in vain.

Yinfeng didn't directly break Chunzhi's delusional thoughts, and said: "I can't decide what happened to Tong Niangniang alone. You will tell Khan Ama exactly what you said. All disposals will be decided by Khan Ama."

Harue was a little disappointed when he failed to get the prince's promise, but he also understood that it was good that the prince was willing to tell the emperor.She managed to pull out a smile: "Thank you...Thank you, Prince."

After the words fell, Chun Zhi's arms drooped weakly, and he closed his eyes forever.

Yinfeng felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had been mobilized and controlled Zhu and Wei when Chunzhi first appeared, perhaps Chunzhi would not have died.At that time, Chun Zhi had Zhu Hewei's son in his hands, and Zhu Hewei could replace his own with someone else's child, which showed that he had a bit of care for the child, so Yinfeng felt that the matter was still controllable at that time.

He never expected that Zhu and Wei would make a sudden move regardless of his son's safety.Everything happened between lightning and flint, and there was no chance for Yinrong to react.In just a few seconds, when he came back to his senses, Chun Zhi had already been shot and fell to the ground.

Looking at the lifeless Chunzhi, Yinfeng let out a sigh.

With Harue's abilities, if he trains them well for a few years, he may become an excellent spy.Pity.

At this moment, he actually envied Tong Jiashi a little bit.But it was only a little bit, because Yinfeng knew it very well.There are more loyal and capable people around him than Tong Jiashi.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

The man's angry roar came from the courtyard, Yinfeng went out, and sure enough, he saw Rex being escorted out.The guards couldn't understand what he said, but they ignored what he said, and they did what Yinfeng told him.

Seeing that he had said a lot and no one spoke to him, Rex became more and more angry, and when he saw Yinrong, his anger became even higher: "Your Highness, what are you doing!"

"What are you doing, doesn't your lord the Duke know?"

Duke Rex was not guilty: "How could I know!"

"May I ask what was mixed in the tea that the Duke gave me to these personal guards?"

Duke Rex's expression flickered: "What's mixed in? Your Highness, you must have misunderstood. The tea was prepared by the servants of the post house. I didn't do anything. When I came back, I was given the tea as soon as I entered the house." I'm knocked out! I want to ask you! I'm the Duke of Ferris, and I was knocked out in your Wanguo Posthouse in the Qing Dynasty. You must find out the murderer and give me an explanation, otherwise Ferris The country will not let it go!"

Yinfeng smiled lightly and nodded: "Your Excellency is right, you won't let it go."

Duke Rex was overjoyed: "Since you know, then..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Yinreng say again: "It's our Qing Dynasty that won't let you go, it's not that you won't let us go."

The smile on Rex's face collapsed: "What do you mean by that!"

"Your Excellency, do you think I'm a fool? You were knocked out? How did you get knocked out? What tools did the other party use? Also, why did the people who assassinated me today enter the post so smoothly and quietly?

"The official firearms of the Qing Dynasty are not sold to the outside world, and they are not numbered. The firearms in their hands are not official, so where did they come from? What kind of deal did you do with them? What did you bring to Qing this time? Purpose? Do you want me to explain them one by one?"

Rex's expression changed drastically: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will always understand!" Yinrong waved his hand, "Take it down!"

The personal guard dragged Rex away, leaving Rex howling furiously: "Let go of me! I warn you, let me go quickly! I am the Duke of Ferris, and my mother is a member of the royal family. .You can't do this to me."

Yinfeng let out a sneer, heh, he thinks highly of himself, is it their country of Ferris when the Qing Dynasty is here?

Why did Rex dare to deal with him so blatantly? Isn't it because of his own identity?If the plan is successful, with Yinreng's current status and influence in the country, the social situation will definitely be turbulent.If it goes a step further, and Zhu and Wei set up a bureau to use him as bait to hurt Khan Ama, the turmoil will be even greater.Who cared about Rex then?

If the plan fails, Rex has already pretended to faint in advance, and then killed himself without knowing it, and pushed everything out.After all, he was just giving convenience to Zhu and Wei, but he was not the one who broke into the posthouse and attacked Yinrong.He wasn't involved.

He is not a citizen of the Qing Dynasty. He is a nobleman of the Ferris Kingdom, a duke of a country, and his mother is still a royal family.In his opinion, Qing Dynasty must not dare to dispose of him casually.No matter what, he can remain invincible.So he has nothing to fear.

Yinrong's eyes flickered?Have nothing to fear?He wants to see what kind of self-assurance it is!

Duke Rex's roar got farther and farther away. The guards cleaned up the mess, counted the corpses, took all the captives down, and asked Yinfeng again: "Master, what should Zhu Hewei and that child do?"

"The child will be locked up first, as for Zhu and Wei..." A cold light flashed in Yinreng's eyes, "Bring him here."

As soon as Zhu and Wei came to him, Yinreng kicked them over, successfully causing Zhu and Wei to fall back on their backs, with a big shoe print on their clothes.

Zhu Hewei snorted, and looked at Yinfeng: "The king is defeated, and since I am defeated, it is up to me to kill or kill. After all, I am the prince of a country, why bother to humiliate him, and go to battle in person, it is inevitable Out of style."

"Humiliation? Since you said Gu humiliated you, then Gu wants you to see what humiliation is?"

Yinreng tore off the riding whip from the guard's waist, and whipped Zhu Hewei with his backhand.Zhu Hewei was tied up so tightly that it was difficult to move, and he couldn't even avoid it. After being whipped, he frowned in pain.

"I kicked you alone, and you said it was a humiliation. Then if you make a lotus and promote this kind of thing, is it a humiliation to those who have been poisoned by the drug?"

Clap, another whip.

Zhu Hewei held back his muffled groans, and gritted his teeth: "I used drugs to deal with you Manchus, or the lackeys and traitors who begged for mercy from you Manchus! You occupied our Daming rivers and mountains, and enslaved our Daming people, you deserve to die!"

Yinfeng took a deep breath: "The former dynasty and the present dynasty can't be in harmony, so it's understandable to be alone. Although Li Zicheng broke the capital, Nanming died in our hands. There is a blood feud between us. You can take revenge, It doesn't matter if you want to regain your sight, just come to us. You will do it with real swords and guns! But what have you done?"

Snapped!The whip fell.

"You said that drugs are only used for us Manchurians? Once this kind of thing is born, can you guarantee that it will not flow into the people? You know that you can't guarantee it!"

Yinfeng rushed forward, grabbed his collar and dragged him to the window, pointing at the thick smoke in the distance, he said: "Look, this is a good job for you! If the effect of A Furong is only on Manchurians, then the theater will How about setting fire? Do you know how many Han people are there? You said we enslaved the people of Ming Dynasty? You still have people in your heart? Is this what you did to the so-called 'people of Ming Dynasty'?"

Zhu Hewei didn't think he was wrong at all: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. If you want to achieve great things, you will naturally have to sacrifice!"

Naturally there will be sacrifices?

Well, that's great!

Yinfeng kicked out again, "Your great cause is to collude with foreigners!"

Zhu Hewei looked downcast: "Do you think I am willing to cooperate with foreigners? You are pressing every step of the way, and our forces have been beaten to pieces. There is not much left. Trading with foreigners is my last chance."

"Cooperation? Transaction?"

In his opinion, this is just a cooperation, a transaction?Yinfeng was furious, and threw the whip again: "Do you think foreigners will be so kind to help you? You keep saying that you are smart since childhood, but I think you are not only not smart, but stupid as a pig!"

Yinfeng stepped on his head and pressed it hard: "Are you a pig brain? Colluding with foreigners to deal with Gu? Even if you succeed, kill Gu and design Khan Ama so what? After that?

"Are you thinking about the domestic turmoil in the Qing Dynasty, and the country of Ferris can bring their ships and guns to attack our country? Do you know what you are doing? You are inviting foreign enemies to invade, playing with fire* **!"

Yinfeng raised his foot and kicked Zhu Hewei's chest: "Do you think foreigners are easy to get along with? Why do they agree to cooperate with you? What purpose do they have? What do they want from you? Have you ever thought about these things? !

"In the eyes of the Western countries, we are a big piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite. It is because the Qing Dynasty is now so powerful that they dare not go head-to-head, so they have to suppress their inflated ambitions.

"Why do you think Gu has repeatedly reformed the maritime trade system? Why do you think Gu attaches so much importance to firearms, artillery and ship armor? Gu is defending against these wolfish and ambitious people! But what about you? What have you done? Working with foreigners is equivalent to seeking skin from tigers, you Never thought they would eat you up?

"No, it's not that you haven't thought about it. You have thought about it, and it is even very clear. But you still did it. Because in your opinion, this is your only chance. Even though the foreigners are coming in menacingly, the vast land of the Qing Dynasty is far away. , The territory is vast. Even if they capture it, they will not be able to control it all, they must support the local forces."

Yinfeng looked at Zhu and Wei with a cold voice: "So as far as you are concerned, you can still rely on them to sit on the throne of God, even if you are a puppet, even if you have to submit to them, even if you have to be driven by them, right?"

Yin Reng clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles creaking.

Clap, clap, and counting the whips down again, Zhu Hewei was so painful that his forehead was sweating.

"Do you know what Gu looks down on you the most? There is nothing wrong with you wanting to seek revenge from us and restore the Ming court. Your fault lies in your vicious and despicable means, selfishness, and no benevolence or kindness.

"Once the drug leaks out, how many people will be harmed? How many casualties will be caused by the fire in the theater today? These are still small. If you and Duke Rex's plan succeeds, what will happen?

"The smoke is everywhere, the flames of war are spreading, and the people are displaced. A family cannot be a family, and a country cannot be a country. Today's mountain flowers will no longer exist, and the hustle and bustle will disappear. The vigorous land under our feet will become a piece of scorched earth, and the prosperity will eventually wither. .”

Yinreng's nose was slightly sour and his throat was choked.He unconsciously thought of the humiliating past that all Chinese people could never forget in his previous life, the blood and tears that flowed in the long river of history, and those unyielding heroic souls,

Yin Reng's eyes were red, and a little mist leaked out of them.

"You don't care about these things at all. You only see the throne on the dragon throne in your eyes, and you only have the desire for power in your heart. You want to be a king, but you have thought that the opposite of the king is the people. Only the people can have a king. If the family and the country are not there, the world is in chaos, and the people are in dire straits, is the king sitting on the dragon chair worthy of the title of king?

"You traded with foreigners and handed over your own land. Is the revived Ming court still the Ming court? Foreigners invaded and occupied our country's great rivers and mountains. How will they treat our people? Where will you put these people? No , There are no people in your eyes, in your thoughts. The people are just a tool for your recovery, and the word sacrifice comes out of your mouth. You don't care about their life or death."

Yinfeng sneered: "Ask yourself, is a person like you worthy of being a king?"

There was undisguised sarcasm and contempt in his eyes, and this attitude deeply stimulated Zhu Hewei: "His Royal Highness said so righteously, it is only because you control the supreme authority and sit on the high position of the Golden Palace. That's all. If you were in my position, do you dare to say that you would not make the same choice as me?"

"Hmph, don't judge Gu with your villainous heart. Although Gu doesn't dare to call himself an orthodox gentleman, he would use all kinds of conspiracies and schemes to achieve his goals, but Gu will not use any means. We will never invite foreign enemies to invade!"

Zhu Hewei didn't believe it at all: "Throughout the ages, the desire to compete for power has never looked at the means but only the results. You swear today, but you have never experienced my life. You are all people in the center of power. Why bother to put yourself To speak so noblely, but to slander our Zhu family."

Yinfeng shook his head: "You are the only person I look down on, not the former Zhu family. On the contrary, Gu respects the old Zhu family members very much. You have always regarded yourself as a descendant of the Zhu family and are proud of it, so you can Have you ever looked back at the past when the Zhu clan was in power?"

Zhu and Wei paused, not quite understanding what Yinreng meant.

"The history of China lasts for thousands of years. As strong as the Han Dynasty, there were also alliances; as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, there were also alliances; in the Song Dynasty, when the wealth was huge, it was difficult to escape paying tribute; let alone the past dynasties, there were many brothers and enemies. There was the Ming court. Leaving aside the Southern Ming Dynasty, it lasted 270 years from the founding of Hongwu to the subjugation of Chongzhen, and experienced [-] emperors. There was no act of cede land, claim vassalage, pay tribute, or marry each other.

"Why did Ming Chengzu move the capital to the capital? Because the capital is an important place to the north. This is an act to resist invasion. It is said that the emperor guards the gate of the country. Why did Emperor Chongzhen want Meishan to hang himself when he could flee south? Because the doctors died, and the soldiers died. , the king died in Sheji.②

"You say that Gu is swearing and righteous, but you are trying to elevate yourself deliberately. No! Gu has never felt how noble you are. At least in this regard, the ancestors of your old Zhu family have done better than this dynasty. .It’s just that you claim to be of the Zhu family’s blood. Do you remember half of the old Zhu’s persistence? Have you ever inherited half of the old Zhu’s pride? The sixteenth emperor of the Ming court, who do you think you can compare to?”

Yinfeng shook his head slowly: "No! I was wrong. I shouldn't compare you with them, it's too insulting to them. Let's talk about today. Your father and your wife died generously half a year ago. At that time, they It is said that the descendants of the Zhu family will not fall into the hands of the Qing court. I admire their determination and courage, and even more respect their integrity. But what about you?"

Yinfeng sneered: "They are willing to commit suicide in order not to fall into our hands, but you have sent yourself and even the whole of China to foreigners with your own hands. You can really do it!"

Zhu and Wei were said to be retreating steadily, and their faces were ashen: "I never thought of giving the whole of China to foreigners. As long as I sit on the throne of God, China will still be the China of my Han people. I..."

Snapped!A whip slapped Zhu Hewei's face, interrupting his next words.

Cut words sophistry, self-deception.For such a stubborn person, Yinfeng was too lazy to talk to him anymore.He was also tired after this fight.Yinfeng returned the whip to the guard, and said: "Loosen the rope that binds him, and tie his hands. Tighten it, and leave the rope longer."

Zhu and Wei Dun felt bad, and their faces turned pale: "What do you want to do?"

Yinfeng smiled: "Didn't you say that Gu humiliated you? Why, do you think kicking you a few times and hitting you a few times is humiliation? Huh! Someone, carry him out and tie the rope to Gu's horse!"

Zhu Hewei opened his eyes wide, full of horror.

Yinfeng strode out, got on his horse, flicked the rein, and walked away.Zhu and Wei just tucked behind their horses, dragging along the ground, howling and screaming endlessly, attracting crowds of onlookers.
