The king of Pingxi was the title given to Wu Sangui by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had named Wu Sangui as the Duke of Ji in the first year of Hongguang, and Wu Sangui's dead father Wu Xiang as the Duke of Liao.
For so many years, neither Longwu nor Yongli has issued an order to deprive Wu Sangui of the title of Jiguo Gong, so Wu Sangui really sent someone to come, and according to the rules, Ma Jixiang should also be called Jiguo Gong's envoy, instead of shouting one by one King Pingxi, and calling extremely affectionate, which is really embarrassing for the face of 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, but they were all in high spirits, but Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, always had a calm face, and there was no reaction to the envoy sent by Wu Sangui.
The envoy sent by Wu Sangui was Su Yunxiang, who joined the army in the palace, this person was a strategist recruited by Wu Sangui when he was in Hanzhong, and he was second only to Fang Xianting, Hu Yuliang and others under Wu Sangui's account, and he was regarded as a close confidant.
Of course, if it weren't for his cronies, Wu Sangui would not have sent him to Burma to see Yongli, after all, Wu Sangui was the prince of Pingxi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Doni's army was still in Kunming.
Zhu Youlang was stunned for a long time, and then he came to his senses, but then he was furious, pointing at Su Yunxiang and saying, "Pingwu Sangui sent you to see me, is it to see if I am dead?"
"The prince of my family has no such intention, but I heard that His Majesty is in trouble everywhere in Burma, so he thought that he was a minister in the past, and he couldn't bear His Majesty's suffering, so he sent a little gold and silver to His Majesty's expenses."
Su Yunxiang was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Wu Sangui sent you to send me silver" Zhu Youlang opened his mouth in surprise, a few days ago, Wu Sangui led the troops to chase and kill, wishing that he would die sooner, but now why did he suddenly change his face, and in turn send money to himself to spend tweed, is it true that his conscience has found out, and he wants to learn from Li Chengdong to welcome me back Ma Jixiang also thought so, so he asked Su Yunxiang very anxiously: "Lord Su, King Pingxi has the intention of welcoming back the Son of Heaven anyway."
Hearing this, Zhu Youlang's heart jumped, and his eyes were a little hot when he looked at Su Yunxiang.
I didn't want Su Yunxiang to say that King Pingxi didn't have the heart to do anything, but he couldn't bear the old lord to suffer in a foreign country, so he sent gold and silver for expenses, and nothing else.
"Just send some money" Ma Jixiang was extremely disappointed in his heart, and Zhu Youlang also felt a little empty and uncomfortable in his heart, but there was one thing that made him feel at ease, that is, Wu Sangui would at least not chase him into Myanmar to kill him.
Su Yunxiang didn't stay long, politely greeted Zhu Youlang a few words, and then left.
The gold and silver he brought on this trip were all seized by the Burmese, but the Burmese side changed their attitude towards Yongli because of Wu Sangui's move.
The king of Burma said that although the Ming Emperor is now living in his own country to avoid disasters, he does not know when he will have to return to be the emperor.
The affairs of the Han people are always uncertain, didn't the Han people who descended to the Qing Dynasty return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and it is not possible to make Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty, do the same, so it is better to be kind to the Yongli monarch and ministers, lest this down-and-out emperor be welcomed back again, and then he will hate Burma.
Therefore, the king of Burma planned to take Yongli monarchs and ministers into the capital to settle down, and he did not intend to withhold the money that Wu Sangui gave to Yongli.
After the two Burmese envoys explained the king's intentions, Zhu Youlang was still a little unconvinced, and he didn't have a good face for the two Burmese envoys.
It was still Ma Jixiang's brain that turned fast, and he leaned close to Zhu Youlang's ear and said: "The emperor is the king of a country, how can he lose his prestige in front of foreign envoys?"
When Zhu Youlang heard this, he immediately woke up.
Anyway, he is now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is unwilling to do it, but he is still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the king of a country, how can he lose his majesty in front of the envoys of this small country and reach out and not hit the smiling man, no matter what reason the Burmese side changed its attitude and wanted to be good to him, after all, he respected him, the son of tomorrow, and he had no reason to face him coldly.
That's the case, but Zhu Youlang couldn't completely forgive Ma Jixiang and them emotionally, so he said coldly: "If I don't become an 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, the lord of all peoples, the king of a country, how can ordinary people do the emperor The emperor should not be like a minister, and agree to the request of the Burmese, and the emperor's situation will be better." ” Zhu Youlang snorted coldly: "When did you think of me as your emperor?"
"The emperor can rest assured, from today onwards, the minister guarantees that all civil and military officials will treat the emperor well, and will never ask the emperor for anything again."
Wu Sangui sent people to send money and the attitude of the Burmese side changed greatly, so that Ma Jixiang re-realized that Zhu Youlang was still a strange commodity to live in, and there were still great benefits to be gained, so he was naturally unwilling to fall out with Zhu Youlang, and tried his best to show his attitude.
"You are fawning over me now because the king of Burma wants to treat me well, and you want to get some benefit from it."
Zhu Youlang's words were full of sarcasm, Ma Jixiang's face turned too quickly, and he couldn't see that it was greasy.
Ma Jixiang was shocked, and the emperor was not confused.
He laughed and said: "Your Majesty, don't say that, if you say this, won't you kill us as courtiers?"
Although Zhu Youlang hated Ma Jixiang and them, he couldn't kill them all, if that's the case, what else did he do The emperor must know that since ancient times, emperors have been carried out by officials, and I have never seen ordinary people willing to bring out an emperor to press on their heads.
Besides, Wu Sangui's envoy and the Burmese king sent an envoy to finally let him find a little bit of the emperor's feeling, and now the court still depends on Ma Jixiang and them to maintain, so his tone softened, and he said to Ma Jixiang: "I have been living here for many days, why did I only see him today that the Burmese State sent an envoy to greet him?"
Ma Jixiang saw that Zhu Youlang spoke in a bad tone, so he signaled the translator not to translate it literally to the Burmese people.
He said to Zhu Youlang: "The emperor has misunderstood, and the king of Burma only recently learned that the emperor had driven to Burma. ” Zhu Youlang snorted, he has been in Myanmar for a few months, and even the children of Myanmar know that he is the Ming Emperor, and the king of Myanmar, Ma Jixiang, is talking nonsense with his eyes open.
However, Zhu Youlang is not a person who does not know the importance of it, since the king of Burma is willing to send an envoy to see him, and he is sent under the fence of others, he always has to be more interesting.
He softened his face and said to the two Burmese officials: "What is the matter with the Burmese envoy coming today?"
The Burmese official replied: "My king wants to take the emperor into the capital to live." ” Hearing this, Zhu Youlang categorically refused: "No need, I won't live in your capital." ” Ma Jixiang was shocked in his heart, if Zhu Youlang refused, where would he get the benefits, he hurriedly persuaded softly: "The king of Burma is also the king of a country, and the emperor can't easily refute his face." ” "I didn't dare to go because I didn't want to refute his face."
"The minister doesn't know what the emperor means" "As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the people, how can I casually stay in the capital of a vassal state and mess up the government of other countries" Ma Jixiang's son-in-law on the side, Yang Zai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, laughed in his heart when he heard it, what a confused emperor, people didn't invite you to be the king, but just invited you to be a guest.
Even if you are invited to be the emperor, you can't go, how can you go when the Ming Emperor can't do it, and you who come to Burma to be the king are too wishful thinking.
Ma Jixiang also felt that the emperor was a little whimsical, but his expression did not dare to relax at all, and he still said solemnly: "The emperor is benevolent and sage, if the king of Burma knows, he will feel the emperor's kindness." ” Zhu Youlang was in a slightly better mood, and saw that except for the two Burmese officials inside and outside the house, the rest were kneeling tremblingly, and he felt a little unbearable, so he shouted: "All Aiqing are flat."
When the civil and military officials heard this, they exclaimed: "Thank the emperor."
Then he stood up in unison.
Seeing that Yongli refused to stay 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 Myanmar wants to build a palace near the capital for the emperor to live in" "Harassing people is no longer right, how can you still let people break the bank" "The ministers also replied to the envoys in this way, but they insisted on refusing."
In fact, Ma Jixiang did not refuse the "kindness" of the Burmese at all.
"How is this good" Zhu Youlang was a little embarrassed.

Ma Jixiang saw that Yongli was a little loose, and immediately said: "As the king of a country, the emperor lives in this humble place, which is also a little shabby. ” Zhu Youlang thought about it, although he was outcast, but after all, he was the king of a country, how could he lose face as an emperor because of this, and after thinking twice, he agreed to this matter.
When the civil and military officials saw that the emperor agreed, they were naturally overjoyed, because it meant that their living conditions and situation would be improved.
The civil and military officials dispersed, but the two Burmese envoys had not left.
Yongli didn't know what he meant, Ma Jixiang said: "The emperor is the king of a country, and he should give some gifts to the envoys."
No matter how poor the country is, it cannot be poor in integrity. ” Emperor Yongli thought about it, how could the Burmese envoy not give some gifts when he met him for the first time, so that they could underestimate me, the Ming Emperor, but although he had the heart, he was powerless.
Because the wealth around him has long been looted by Ma Jixiang and them, where is there anything to give to the envoys?
Zhu Youlang, who had nothing to give, was a little embarrassed, and his face was dumbfounded.
When Ma Jixiang saw the emperor's appearance, he knew that he was shy in his pocket, and he had no intention of paying out of his own pocket to relieve the emperor, but only reminded: "Can the emperor take some money from the queen and the queen mother." ” Ma Jixiang's words once again aroused Zhu Youlang's sourness, and the valuable things around the queen had already been used by him 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 king of a country, how could he reach out to his mother to ask for gifts to the envoys?
"I'm afraid that the Queen Mother won't have it."
Zhu Youlang said that even if the Queen Mother had it, it would be difficult for her to ask for it.
Ma Jixiang rolled his eyes, but said: "Now, the emperor has to beg the queen mother, I can't lose my Celestial Grace in front of the Burmese envoys because of this little thing." ” Zhu Youlang gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will try it." ” When he arrived at the Queen Mother, Zhu Youlang stammered his difficulties.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed.
Zhu Youlang thought that the queen mother was unwilling, so he said: "If the queen mother has difficulties, forget it." ” The Queen Mother said: "It's not that I don't agree with my mother, but I really have nothing else." ” Zhu Youlang was taken aback: "How could this be" Even in the most difficult time, he didn't reach out to his mother to ask for something.
It stands to reason that there should be some valuable things around the Queen Mother, but now that the Queen Mother said no, Zhu Youlang was naturally surprised.
The Queen Mother said: "The child doesn't know that the valuable things around me have also been transferred to you by the queen." ” There is no need for the Queen Mother to say more, Zhu Youlang understood everything, was silent, and didn't know what words to use to comfort his mother.
After sitting quietly for a while, he was silent, and the Queen Mother did not speak, he felt that he couldn't stand it, 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 plucked two golden hairpins from her head and gave them to her son.
Looking at the golden hairpin that his mother took off his head, Zhu Youlang froze there, not to pick it up, not to pick it up.
"It doesn't matter if your family is hard, no one will see it anyway, so don't lose face in front of outsiders."
The Queen Mother sighed and motioned to her son to quickly take it and reward the Burmese envoys 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 was talking to the two of them.
Zhu Youlang gave the two golden hairpins he held in his arms to the two Burmese officials, and the two smiled happily and said goodbye.
Zhu Youlang thought that Ma Jixiang would talk to him about the Burmese building the palace, but he didn't want Ma Jixiang to stay, so he left straight away, leaving him, the emperor, as before.
Zhu Youlang was not distressed in his heart, but he could only stay in the room sullenly, and he didn't even have a speaker.
After Ma Jixiang left Yongli, he found his younger brother Ma Xiongfei and son-in-law Yang Zai, and asked them to find a way to find someone to return to Yunnan.
Ma Xiongfei thought that his brother wanted to send someone to contact Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, but he didn't want his brother to contact Wu Sangui.
Ma Xiongfei was stunned, he didn't understand what his brother was doing, could it be that Wu Sangui sent some money and hoped that people would not be able to come anyway.
Yang Zai guessed his father-in-law's intentions, he shook his head slightly, but he accepted the matter.
When Yang was spending a lot of money to send a Burmese merchant to Yunnan to meet Wu Sangui, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, were discussing how to rescue the Yongli monarch from Burma.
At the beginning, the generals Jin Tongwu and Liang Jie, who were sent by Li Dingguo to protect Yongli and his courtiers and family members, saw Zhu Youlang and his entourage enter Burma and accepted the Burmese demand for disarmament.
After being defeated by the Qing army, Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, led his troops from the snow-capped mountains to climb the cliff and come to Longchuan, where he met with Li Dingguo's army in Mubang.
Both of them believed that although the interior 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 have an extremely adverse psychological impact on the generals' insistence on resisting the Qing Dynasty, so the top priority 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 difficult to recover. oshow7 t1706231537:
