Chapter 111 Secret Talk
When Gao Tai arrived in Taizhou it was just four o'clock in the afternoon. When he sat in the north room, it was already dark.
After drinking a glass of cold rice wine in the ice cellar, Gao Tai breathed comfortably. Just as he was about to drink another glass, people flashed at the door. Wang Liuhuai, Yao Junqing, Huang Weiwen and other senior officials of the Wuhumen walked in one after another.
Gao Tai stood up and bowed to Wang Liuhuai. The brothers and sisters wanted Gao Tai to bow to bow. When the salute was over, several junior disciples had already lit the candlelight in the house and ignited a furnace of agarwood.
Inviting everyone to sit in the seat, Gao Tai glanced at Wang Liuhuai with a better spirit than before, and smiled and said, "Uncle Master is getting more and more gentle and tough! It's really a happy event for my Wuhumen!"
Wang Liuhuai waved his hand and said, "Don't flatter me here. I am seventy years old this year, how tough can I be?"
Although Wang Liuhuai said this, he was full of spring breeze. Because he had been studying the "Five Tigers Broken Gate Knife" for several months, his martial arts skills have improved greatly, and his martial arts cultivation has continued to grow. This really made him feel like he was back in his youth when he was studying martial arts, and his complexion was much stronger than before.
"What the leader said is not a false statement. Uncle Master, you are really getting younger and younger!" Yao Junqing also grinned.
Wang Liuhuai laughed and cursed, and asked, "XIV, tell me, how about the Beijing delegation? I heard that Obai was dead? Did you kill him? Why didn't Xiaobao come back with you?"
Gao Tai smiled mysteriously, looked around and said, "Eat first, and then talk about it."
After saying that, Gao Tai started to eat and drink. Even though Wang Liuhuai repeatedly asked questions and refused to answer. Lao Wang and other disciples were so anxious that they were all caught with each other, so they had to eat the food in silence.
After a while, Gao Tai felt satisfied before putting down the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his mouth, and smiled and said, "Uncle Master, brothers, don't worry, my delegation in Beijing this time is amazing. I'm afraid I'll shock you if I told you, hehe..."
"Senior brother, don't sell lawsuits!" Yao Junqing joked, "Speak quickly."
Gou Lihui also urged: "Young Master, you will be really angry if you don't say it anymore!"
Gao Tai looked at Wang Liuhuai with a dark face, coughed lightly, and hurriedly said, "When Xiaobao and I went north, we first arrived in Guide Yongcheng. We saw the tragic situation of the Yellow River breaking. It was like mud, and countless refugees were extremely miserable. In order to find out the disaster relief victims, I found the Qingzhu Gang and asked him to recruit a group of disciples. A few days ago, Master Uncle, have you sent someone to bring those disciples back?"
Wang Liuhuai nodded and said, "Since I received the letter from you ordered Qingzhu to help your disciples three months ago, I sent Junqing and Weiwen to accept it. Now everyone is kept in the countryside, with meat and rice every day, but they just let them practice martial arts hard."
"Okay!" Gao Tai clamped his hands together and continued, "Xiaobao and I rushed to Beijing in one breath after doing this. You said this is also a weird thing. We just messed with an Eight Banners man in Beijing. Because Xiaobao beat them, he also attracted Hai Dafu, the number one master in the inner city, and this old eunuch..."
Gao Tai talked about how he and Wei Xiaobao entered the palace, how to use the madness and wealth, control the empress dowager, kill Oboi, play stupid Kang Mazi, and kill Xiaozhuang. However, some things involved the authenticity of the empress dowager and Gao Tai's privacy methods were briefly explained, but the focus was on the critical situation of the master and apprentice, with deep blessings, clever and cleverness.
Although Wang Liuhuai, Huang Weiwen, Yao Junqing and others were well-informed, they were still scared after hearing what Gao Tai said. From time to time, their faces changed, and they were thrilling and full of praise.
It was not until Gao Tai said that Wei Xiaobao was asked to monitor the Empress Dowager as Eunuch Gui and took charge of the Qing court that Wang Liuhuai and others applauded and exclaimed.
Gao Tai smiled and said, "I heard from the Empress Dowager that Emperor Shunzhi was pretending to die. He hid in Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai, and became a monk with a pseudonym Xingchi. I was worried that he would learn that Beijing's great transformation and return to the palace to take over power, so he went to kill him, and then came back..."
"Eighteenth, your courage, wisdom and means are the only ones I have seen in my life! I inherit the will of the sect leader in this sect, and it depends on you to expel the Tartars!" Wang Liuhuai stood up suddenly, shook his head with admiration and said, "I just regret not passing the Five Hu Sect to you earlier, uncle is confused!"
"Uncle Master is so serious!" Gao Tai waved his hand quickly and said in a deep voice, "I am just doing my best. A man who stands in the world wants to be worthy of heaven and earth!"
"Good words!" Huang Weiwen clapped and smiled, "The leader is right, Master, now the Qing Dynasty has fallen into the hands of our Wuhumen. How can we fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty? The leader is afraid that he has already made a decision."
Huang Weiwen's words made everyone's eyes lit up. They all felt that they had invisibly raised their status seven or eight levels. In their hearts, the senior officials of the Qing court were just toys in the hands of their heads, and were dolls played by their eldest nephew.
Gao Tai coughed lightly and said, "Senior Brother Huang is right. I have come up with a complete plan recently. Please help me with reference..."
Gao Tai asked Wei Xiaobao and Mao Dongzhu to engage in literary inquisition in Beijing in the name of eliminating the Oboi party members. The benefits of raiding the family were allocated everywhere, and they gathered the great figures among the servants of Manchus, and arrested many hard bones. Most of the capable people in the Han officials killed. They continued to tolerate the useless confidants and nobles in the Eight Banners continued to enclose land, and suspended the imperial examinations, which made the Han people in the north gradually become disloyal to the Qing court, and even the scholars in the south complained.
This is Gao Tai’s first strategy - to remove the firewood from the cauldron.
The second strategy is to boil beans and burn bean pods.
After Gao Tai asked Wei Xiaobao to stabilize his power, he began to cut down the vassal states. This time, the vassal states must not be like Kang Mazi in history. He had to create momentum first and then suddenly announced that he forced Wu Sangui and others to rebel in advance, so that the Qing court, Wu Sangui and others had no time to prepare, so that the army on both sides could be destroyed.
Finally, Gao Tai had to learn from King Yan Zhu Di, hiding in his Wuhumen, and with the help of the various incomes of the Cao Gang and Wuhumen, he kept recruiting disciples and training elite soldiers, waiting for the Sanfan and the court to fight and come out to clean up the situation. This time, he would work with the Tiandihui, the Zheng family in Taiwan, the remnants of Zhu family, etc.
Gao Tai said his plan, and Wang Liuhuai and others were stunned. They only felt that when Gao Tai said it, everyone would understand clearly in their minds, and they didn't think it was so brilliant and wonderful. But if they wanted to think about it themselves, even ten heads would not think of this operation.
After a moment of silence, everyone began to whisper excitedly, and for a moment, the room buzzed, as if hundreds of mosquitoes were having a meeting.
Gao Tai was not worried about his anger, but just drank tea quietly.
After a stick of incense, Wang Liuhuai suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Stop talking!"
Everyone hurriedly stopped and looked at the old sect leader.
Wang Liuhuai cleared his throat and said, "No one of you can tell me what I said today! Even if I give my mother a word, I can't reveal a word! Otherwise, I will cut off your limbs and throw them into the Yangtze River to feed the fish!"
"Disciple understands that you can't talk nonsense about military and national affairs!"
"I don't lose my virginity. I always want my own life. How dare I talk nonsense?"
...
Everyone agreed, but Wang Liuhuai gave up and said, "Our Five Humen still has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. You can use it together. Don't worry, the master of the sect. Our Five Humen will prosper and prosper and lose both. In the future, we will be willing to fight against the Tartars if we have to do anything!"
Gao Tai laughed and said, "Don't worry, everyone, we just need to concentrate on preparing now! When the time is ripe, the Tartars are just paper-made tigers, and they will fall down as soon as they push them!"
Chapter completed!
