King Pingxi was the title given to Wu Sangui by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, in the first year of Hongguang, Wu Sangui was named Duke of Ji, and Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui's dead father, was named Duke of Liao. Wu Sangui made military rations, but because the ship was snatched by Ming army generals in the four towns in Jiangbei, it could not be transported.

For so many years, neither Longwu nor Yongli has decreed to deprive Wu Sangui of Ji Guogong's title, so Wu Sangui really sent people here, and according to the rules, Ma Jixiang should also be called Ji Guogong sent envoy, not The King of Pingxi shouted one after another, and they were extremely affectionate, which was really disgraceful to the Ming Dynasty. However, all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty did not frown at the "King of Pingxi" in Ma Jixiang's mouth. Instead, they were all refreshed. Only the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo, always kept his face calm, and did not respond to the arrival of the envoys sent by Wu Sangui.

The envoy Wu Sangui sent was Su Yunxiang, who joined the army in the palace. This person was a counselor recruited by Wu Sangui when he was in Hanzhong. He was second only to Fang Xianting, Hu Yuliang and others under Wu Sangui's account. He was regarded as a trusted person. Of course, if it wasn't for his cronies, Wu Sangui would not have sent him to Myanmar to see Yongli. After all, Wu Sangui was the Prince of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, and Doni's army was still in Kunming. The Xinjun King's side is probably going to send his division in to suppress him, the leader of the Southwest who destroyed the country.

Zhu Youlang was stunned for a while before Fang woke up, but he was furious, pointing at Su Yunxiang and said, "Ping... Wu Sangui sent you to see me to see if I die!"

"My lord has absolutely no intention of doing this. I just heard that His Majesty was in trouble everywhere in Burma, so I remembered that I was a Ming minister in the past, and I couldn't bear His Majesty's suffering, so I sent a villain to send some gold and silver for His Majesty's expenses." Su Yunxiang was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Wu Sangui sent you to send me money?"

Zhu Youlang opened his mouth in surprise. A few days ago, Wu Sangui was leading the troops to hunt him down. He wished that he would die sooner or later. Why did he suddenly change his face and send money to himself to spend? Could it be that his conscience has discovered it? , want to learn from Li Chengdong to welcome me back?

Ma Jixiang thought so too, so he asked Su Yunxiang impatiently, "Master Su, does King Pingxi intend to welcome back the emperor anyway?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youlang's heart skipped a beat, looking at Su Yunxiang with hot eyes. He didn't want Su Yunxiang, but said that King Pingxi had no intention of doing anything wrong. He just couldn't bear the suffering of the old master in a foreign country, so he sent gold and silver for expenses, and there was nothing else.

"Just to send some money..."

Ma Jixiang was extremely disappointed in his heart, and Zhu Youlang also felt a little empty and uncomfortable, but one thing reassured him, that is, Wu Sangui would at least not chase him into Myanmar to kill him.

Su Yunxiang didn't stop there, greeted Zhu Youlang politely, and then left. The gold and silver he brought on this trip were detained by the Burmese, but the Burmese side changed its attitude towards Yongli because of Wu Sangui's move. The King of Burma, Emperor Xindao Daming, is now living in his own country to avoid disasters, but he does not know which dynasty he will have to return to be the emperor again. The affairs of the Han people are always uncertain. Didn't the Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty return to the Ming Dynasty? Maybe Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, will do the same, so it's better to be good to Yongli's monarchs and ministers, lest this desolate emperor be again I was welcomed back, and then I hated Myanmar. Therefore, the Burmese king planned to accept Yongli’s monarchs and ministers into the capital, and he also did not intend to deduct the money Wu Sangui gave to Yongli.

After the two Burmese messengers explained the king's meaning, Zhu Youlang was still a little unbelieving, and he didn't have a good look on the two Burmese messengers. Or Ma Jixiang's mind was turning fast. He leaned closer to Zhu Youlang's ear and said, "The emperor is the monarch of a country, how can he lose his prestige in front of foreign envoys?"

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he immediately woke up. In any case, he is now the Emperor of Daming. Even if he is unwilling to do so, he is still the Emperor of Daming. As the monarch of a country, how can he lose his majesty in front of the envoys of this small country? Kuang stretched out his hand and didn't slap the smiling face. No matter what reason the Burmese side changed their attitude and wanted to be nice to him, it was because they respected him as a bright young man, and he had no reason to show a cold face.

That's the case, but Zhu Youlang couldn't completely forgive Ma Jixiang and the others emotionally, so he said coldly, "If I don't become the emperor, won't I lose face?"

Ma Jixiang smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice: "The emperor is known as the Son of Heaven. He is the lord of all peoples, and the ruler of a country. How can ordinary people become emperors? The emperor should not care about his ministers, and agree to the request of the Burmese, the emperor. Things could be better.”

Zhu Youlang snorted coldly: "When did you consider me your emperor?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, from today onwards, I promise that all civil and military officials will treat the Emperor kindly and will never ask the Emperor for anything."

Wu Sangui sent people to send money and the attitude of Myanmar changed drastically, which made Ma Jixiang realize again that Zhu Youlang is still a rare commodity, and there are great benefits to be obtained. Naturally, he did not want to fall out with Zhu Youlang, and tried his best to show his attitude.

"You are courting me now because the king of Burma wants to treat me kindly, and you want to get some benefits from it." Zhu Youlang's words were full of sarcasm, Ma Jixiang's face turned so fast that he couldn't see the tricks.

Ma Jixiang was shocked, the emperor was not confused. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't say that! If you say that, don't you kill us courtiers?"

Although Zhu Youlang hated Ma Jixiang and the others, he couldn't kill them all. If so, what kind of emperor would he be? It should be noted that since ancient times, emperors have been carried out by officials, and I have never seen ordinary people willing to carry out an emperor and put them on their heads. Besides, the envoy Wu Sangui and the Burmese king sent envoys to finally make him feel like an emperor. Right now, the court still needs to be maintained by Ma Jixiang and the others, so his tone softened and he said to Ma Jixiang, "I have so many. Today, why did I only see him today sending envoys from Myanmar to greet him?"

Seeing that Zhu Youlang's speech was not good, Ma Jixiang signaled that the translator should not translate it literally to the Burmese. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] He said to Zhu Youlang: "The emperor has misunderstood, and the king of Myanmar has only recently learned that the emperor has arrived in Myanmar."

Zhu Youlang snorted. He has been in Myanmar for a few months. Even the children in Myanmar know that Emperor Ming is here, and the king of Myanmar, Ma Jixiang, is talking nonsense. However, Zhu Youlang is not a person who does not know the importance. Since the Burmese king is willing to send an envoy to see him, and he is trapped under the fence of others, he must be more knowledgeable. He softened his expression and said to the two Burmese officials, "Why is the Burmese envoy coming today?"

The Burmese official replied: "The king of my family wants to take the emperor to live in the capital."

Hearing this, Zhu Youlang categorically refused: "No need, I will not live in your capital."

Ma Jixiang was shocked. If Zhu Youlang refused, where would he benefit from? He hurriedly persuaded softly: "The king of Myanmar is also the king of a country, and the emperor cannot easily refute his face."

"I didn't dare to go because I didn't want to refute his face."

"I don't know what the emperor means!"

"As the saying goes, there are no two suns in the sky, and no two kings in the people. How can I just live in the capital of a vassal state and disrupt the government of other countries?"

Beside Ma Jixiang's son-in-law, Yang Zai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was amused when he heard this. What a confused emperor, they didn't invite you to be a king, they just invited you to be a guest. Even if you are asked to be the emperor, you can't go! How could the Ming emperor go to Burma to be the king when he couldn't do it? You are too wishful thinking.

Ma Jixiang also felt that the emperor was a little fanciful, but his expression did not dare to relax at all, and he still said strictly and earnestly: "The emperor is benevolent, virtuous and wise, if you let the king of Myanmar know, you will feel the emperor's kindness."

Zhu Youlang was in a better mood. Seeing that the two Burmese officials were not kneeling inside and outside the house, the rest were kneeling tremblingly. He couldn't bear it in his heart, so he shouted: "All Aiqings, be flat!"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then they all stood up.

Seeing that Yongli refused to live in the Burmese capital, Ma Jixiang said, "Since the emperor refuses to enter the Burmese capital, the Burmese king has another request."

Zhu Youlang asked him, "What request?"

"The king of Burma wants to build a palace near the capital for the emperor to live in!"

"It's not right to harass people, so why do they have to spend money?"

"The ministers also returned to the envoys in this way, but they insisted on refusing to." In fact, Ma Jixiang did not reject the "kindness" of the Burmese at all.

"How is this good?" Zhu Youlang was a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Yongli was a little loose, Ma Jixiang immediately said: "As the king of a country, the emperor seems too shabby to live in this humble place."

Zhu Youlang thought about it too. Although he was a homeless man, he was the king of a country after all. How could he lose his face as an emperor because of this? After much thought, he agreed. The civil and military officials were naturally overjoyed when they saw the emperor's agreement, because it meant that their living conditions and situation would be improved.

Civil and military officials dispersed, but the two Burmese envoys did not leave. Yongli didn't know the meaning, Ma Jixiang said: "The emperor is the monarch of a country, so he should give some gifts to the envoys. No matter how poor the country is, it can't be poor."

Emperor Yongli also thought about it, how could the Burmese envoys meet him for the first time, how could they not give some gifts to make them look down on me, the Ming emperor? However, although he has a heart, he is powerless. Because the wealth around him has already been looted by Ma Jixiang and the others, where is there anything else to give to the envoy?

Zhu Youlang, who had nothing to give, was a little embarrassed and had a look of resentment.

When Ma Jixiang saw the emperor's appearance, he knew that he was very shy, but he had no intention of helping the emperor out of his own pocket, and only reminded: "Can the emperor get some money from the queen and the queen mother."

Ma Jixiang's remarks once again aroused Zhu Youlang's grief. The valuable things around Queen Wang had already made him use it to satisfy the selfish desires of the minister of civil and military affairs. To say that there is, there may be a little more around the Queen Mother. However, as the monarch of a country, how could he reach out to his mother to give the envoy's wealth? Even if the mother doesn't care, it's not easy to speak!

"I'm afraid there isn't any on the Queen Mother's side."

Zhu Youlang's meaning is that even if the Queen Mother has it, it is not easy for him to ask for it. Ma Jixiang rolled his eyes, but said: "As of now, the emperor has to ask the queen mother, and I can't lose my celestial demeanor in front of the Burmese envoys because of this trivial matter."

Zhu Youlang gritted his teeth and said, "Then...then I will try it."

At the Queen Mother's side, Zhu Youlang stammered out his difficulties. When the queen mother heard this, she sighed. Zhu Youlang thought that the queen mother would not agree, so she said: "If the queen mother has difficulties, forget it."

The queen mother said: "It's not that the mother doesn't agree, but she really has nothing else."

Zhu Youlang was taken aback: "How could this be?" Even in the most difficult times, he never reached out to his mother for anything. It stands to reason that there should be some valuables around the queen mother, but now that the queen mother said there is no, Zhu Youlang is naturally surprised.

The queen mother said: "I don't know anything about the child! The valuables around me were also passed on to you by the queen."

There was no need for the queen mother to say more, Zhu Youlang understood everything and remained silent, not knowing what words to use to comfort her mother. After sitting quietly for a while, he said nothing, and neither did the queen mother. He felt unbearable and got up to say goodbye to the queen mother. As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by the Queen Mother. The queen mother pulled two golden hairpins from her head and gave them to her son.

Looking at the golden hairpin that her mother took off her head, Zhu Youlang froze there, neither picking it up nor not picking it up.

"It doesn't matter if your family is suffering. No one will see it anyway. Don't lose face in front of outsiders."

The queen mother sighed and motioned her son to give the Burmese envoy a reward, so as not to be despised. Zhu Youlang reluctantly reached out to take it, and then ran back to his residence. The Burmese envoy was waiting impatiently, and Ma Jixiang kept talking with the two of them. Zhu Youlang gave the two Burmese officials the two golden hairpins that he held tightly in his arms.

Zhu Youlang thought that Ma Jixiang would still talk to himself about the Burmese people repairing the palace city, but he didn't want Ma Jixiang to stay, so he went straight away, and left him as the emperor as before and ignored him. Zhu Youlang was really distressed, but she could only stay in the room sullenly, without even a speaker.

Here, after Ma Jixiang left from Yongli, he found his younger brother Ma Xiongfei and his son-in-law Yang Zai~www.NovelMTL.com~ and asked them to find a way to find someone to return to Yunnan. Ma Xiongfei thought that his brother wanted to send Li Dingguo, King of Jin, to contact him, but he wanted them to contact Wu Sangui. Ma Xiongfei stood there in a daze, not understanding what his brother was doing. Could it be that Wu Sangui would send some money and expect others to come back anyway. However, Yang Zai guessed his father-in-law's intention, he shook his head slightly, but accepted the matter.

When Yang Zai spent a lot of money and entrusted a Burmese businessman to go to Yunnan to meet Wu Sangui, King Li Dingguo of Jin and Bai Wenxuan of Gongchang were discussing how to rescue Yongli monarchs and ministers from Burma. The generals Jin Tongwu, Liang Jie and other generals who were dispatched by Li Dingguo to protect Yongli, courtiers, and family members saw Zhu Youlang and his entourage enter Burma and accepted Burmese's request to disarm. They neither dared to stop the emperor's actions. , and reluctant to disarm automatically and go into exile, so Jin Tongwu and Liang Jie led their subordinates to retreat southwards from Tongbiguan to follow Li Dingguo's main force.

After being defeated by the Qing army, Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, led his troops from the snow-capped mountains and climbed the cliffs to Longchuan, where they met with Li Dingguo's army in Mubang. Both of them believed that although the mainland of Yunnan was occupied by the Qing army, there were still many troops scattered in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. The escape of the Yongli court into Burma will definitely have a very negative psychological impact on the generals' insistence on resisting the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the most urgent task is to bring the Yongli Emperor back to the country from Burma, otherwise the country will have no owner for a long time, and the overall situation will be irreversible. .
