Chapter 984 Ban Chao's Rebirth
After the gatekeeper went to pick up the people, Ebilong added another cup to himself, drank it all, and then said to Li Guoying: "The court asked Shi Huashan to lead the Han army to Henan and asked this prince to take charge of the Central Plains."
Li Guoying was shocked: "Shi Huashan? The one whom the Shi family married Prince Yu?"
Ebilong said: "Who isn't this person? Prince Yu is just such a princess."
Li Guoying's face changed drastically: "Shi Lin, the second son of the Shi family, was defeated and captured in Hunan, but the person was released by the Taiping Army. I am afraid that there will be other hidden information in this matter. Before this matter is found out, how could the court let the Shi family lead the army? Aren't you afraid of any accidents?"
"If you use people, don't doubt people, don't use them. The old general Zhenhai was loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Although he used the Shi surname of Han people, the old surname of Shi's family, Guarjia was a real Manzhou. He made great contributions outside the pass. As for Shi Lin's survival, according to his report, he escaped and was not released."
Speaking of this, Ebilong was very moved, "The eight major forces of the Han army are now only Shi and Zu's two families are left. Shang and Geng's two families are defeated. Cai Shiying surrendered the thief scholar in Jiangbei. Both the Tong family were killed in the battle, and the Wang family also surrendered Wu Sangui. The Li family's death from Li Rutai is not true."
After hearing Ebilong's words, Li Guoying felt uncomfortable. In just three years, the eight Han army officials went to six, which was really caught off guard.
"The emperor asked Shi Huashan to stay in Henan, and he was also for the Han army's flag to show it, indicating that the court still trusted the Han army flag."
Ebilong said in one sentence that Emperor Ming's true intention of letting Shi Huashan leave Henan was. After all, the Han army was a force that the Qing Dynasty could trust in believing in addition to the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. However, he did not say another purpose. The emperor's reliance on the Han army now is greater than at any time before. The capital is now raising the flags of the Han army on a large scale, and it may not take long. The Han army cannot be called the Han army, but it will be called the True Manzhou. The Shi family is also afraid that Guarjia's old surname will be restored soon.
"Shi Lin's affairs are always suspicious. You must pay attention to the admiral." Li Guoying was still suspicious in his heart, always feeling that Shi Lin's affairs were not simple, and the Shi family might not be as loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor as before.
Ebilong nodded and was about to say that Henan Governor Jia Hanfu was a capable man. With him, Shi Hua would not have any changes, but he saw the gatekeeper leading the two in. The one who walked in front was a strong man, and the one behind was a Confucian scholar.
The strong man thought it was Wang Jinbao, the powerful general mentioned by Li Guoying. Who was the Confucian scholar behind him? Ebilong didn't know. Seeing this man's appearance, he couldn't help but look at him twice. When Li Guoying was about to introduce him, he saw Li Guoying "suddenly" up as if he was a ghost, and pointed at the Confucian scholar angrily and shouted: "Fang Xianting, you are so brave, you dare to come here!"
Fang Xianting?
Ebilong had never heard of this person's name, and was stunned, not knowing why Li Guoying reacted so much.
"Sir, this person is Fang Xianting, the son of the former Ming Shangshu Fang Yizao, and the confidant counselor of the rebel Wu Sangui!"
When he heard that he was Wu Sangui's adviser, Ebilong also changed his face. Fang Xianting was also surprised at this moment, because he could be treated so respectfully by Li Guoying and called "Grandmaster", only the imperial envoy of the Inner Minister Ebilong was the only one in Tongguan.
How could Ebilon be here?
Fang Xianting's mind changed rapidly and knew that something was wrong. If Li Guoying was alone, he would not be able to persuade him, and the other party might not have done anything to him. But Ebilong was present, and he was afraid that he would be a sheep who had fallen into the tiger's mouth.
However, although he was frightened, Fang Xianting's face did not change color and his heart was not beating. He stepped forward and bowed to Li Guoying and Ebilong, saying, "Fang has met two lords!"
Ebilong slapped the desktop: "What are you here for, you thief?"
Fang Xianting smiled slightly and looked at Li Guoying and said, "My prince wants to ask the Governor to create the great cause of restoring the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Guoying browned and blurted out, "Absurd, Li is an important official of the Qing Dynasty. How could he be an unrighteous person? It would be ridiculed by the people of the world!"
"Is that true?"
Fang Xianting laughed, and his laughter cheered his eardrums.
Ebilong's face was gloomy, and Li Guoying also looked ugly, and asked in a deep voice: "Why are you laughing?"
"Fang laughed at the Governor's stupidity!"
"Why is Li stupid?"
"You are a Han Chinese, but you are so dedicated to the alien race. Isn't it funny?"
Li Guoying snorted angrily, not arguing with Fang Xianting, but only glared at Wang Jinbao, who was also uneasy: "Why did you bring this person?"
"Sir, last general"
Wang Jinbao wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to explain. At this time, he heard Ebilong shouting: "This person must have been bribed by the Wu thief. Come on, take these two people down!"
"Sir, the last general is wronged, and the last general is wronged!"
Wang Jinbao shouted for justice, but Li Guoying moved his body, but he did not speak to protect him.
"The two countries are fighting, and the envoys will not be killed."
Fang Xianting was so neat that he was not afraid.
"Wu Sangui is my traitor in the Qing Dynasty, so where did the two countries come from?"
Ebilong was afraid that Li Guoying would be bewitched by Fang Xianting, so he shouted at the Li Guoying's personal soldiers who rushed in: "Why don't you take these two people down for me!"
"grown ups!"
Seeing that he was about to be captured, Wang Jinbao was shocked and suddenly stepped forward, pulled out a dagger from his arms to sting Ebilong. He moved very quickly, Ebilong had too much wine and could not dodge. He even slammed into the chest and screamed.
Amid the screams, Wang Jinbao pulled out the dagger with force, and the blood column gushed out. Ebilong covered his chest and said something to angrily. Wang Jinbao stabbed him hard again, making him unable to even speak.
"Well"
There was an unpleasant sound in Ebilong's throat, his body shaking, and then hesitated on the ground. Blood flowed all over the ground.
This sudden scene shocked everyone in the room. Li Guoying was stunned on the spot, and Fang Xianting stood there even stunned. Li Guoying's personal soldiers opened their mouths in shock, looking incredibly at the imperial envoy who was lying on the ground and Wang Jinbao, who was holding a dagger and his face was covered with blood.
After a while, Li Guoying finally woke up and pointed at Wang Jinbao and shouted angrily: "Wang Jinbao, how dare you assassinate the imperial envoy!"
Wang Jinbao glanced at the few soldiers who wanted to come forward to capture him, stabbed the dagger on the table, and said to Li Guoying: "Governor General, the imperial envoy died in your mansion. The Qing court will not spare you. Only with the current plan, the Governor General can only make a clear decision!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xianting shouted inwardly: What a Wang Jinbao, it’s simply the rebirth of Ban Chao!
"Li Guoying, Ebilong died here, and you can't wash it out even if you jump into the Yellow River! My prince respects you, so he sent me to persuade you to win. If you win, my prince will still call you the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi." Fang Xianting said loudly.
"If the Governor still insists on serving the Qing court, please take this head!"
Wang Jinbao fell to the ground and let Li Guoying kill himself.
"you"
