Shishi Gege is a night owl, always used to going to bed late and getting up late. Tonight is no exception. Although it was past ten o'clock, she was still awake and still reading when Yonggui asked to see her.
She now looked at Yong Gui who was kneeling on the ground and crying, stared at it for a few seconds, and smiled lightly:
"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Then she turned around and sat down in front of the sofa.
A black cat jumped onto the sofa with a "pop" and then jumped onto Shi Shi Ge Ge's lap, lying down comfortably and stretching out. Shi Shi Ge Ge held the cat in his arms and scratched it gently.
He squinted his eyes, raised his chin, and made a loud "snoring" sound.
Yong Gui quietly raised his head from the ground and watched Shi Shi Ge Ge stroking her cat after saying something. He was very embarrassed for a moment.
He smiled sarcastically, slowly got up, and stood in front of Fourteenth Gege.
"Hey," Shi Shi Gege pointed to the sofa in front of her with her toes, "Sit down."
Yonggui said "嗻" with a smile, and carefully sat down across from the fourteenth grid.
"You said that even if I don't think about the Qing Dynasty, I still have to think about myself," Shi Shigege said while stroking the cat, "What do you mean, tell me."
Yonggui smiled "hehe" and looked around carefully.
Fourteen Princess frowned and said:
"Will you tell me or not?"
Yonggui smiled sarcastically and said:
"Gege, the slave is afraid...afraid...afraid that there is...that...in your room, Princess..."
Fourteen Gege said impatiently:
"Is there a bugging microphone? This is my room! Do you think it's your room?"
Yong Guirang suppressed his emotions until his face turned red, but he still smiled and said:
"Gege... you are a person who has seen a lot of things in the world, and you are also a person who holds a lot of power. I think back when you were still in the Qing Dynasty, you could be said to be 'one person is inferior to ten thousand people'..."
But think about it, when you first came to Nanming, although Nanming banned you as a businessman,
Lord, does the provision of rich clothes and fine food really give you any power?...Oh, Gege, you may want to say that when we first came here, Nanming and you didn't understand each other and didn't trust us yet. Why don't you do it now?
Are you getting better gradually? You are gradually being allowed to participate in military and national affairs...
"But Princess, you are a smart person, you should be able to understand why this is, what is the real reason why they re-use you. Do they really trust you?...Gege, think about it before you say anything else.
, you are an out-and-out Manchu, and your surname is Aixinjueluo, a member of the Qing imperial family.
Zhou... The Han people have an eternal motto, which is called "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts." What's more, we Manchus and the Han people, the Aisin Gioro family and the Zhu Ming family, have a blood feud. Princess, you
Do you think that in the face of all this, how much weight does a mere title of 'Liaoyang Princess' carry?
"Gege, when you first arrived in Nanming, they generously named you a princess, provided you with fine clothes, fine food, and a mansion. They treated you with the utmost respect... Later, they allowed you to join the People's Guard, and indeed gave you
Some real power has allowed you to regain some of your past feelings... But Gege, I don’t need my servant to tell you that you are like a mirror in your heart, do you know what this is?"
Fourteen Princess looked at him with squinted eyes, showed a smile, and said slowly:
"What is it? Tell me."
Yonggui licked his lips and smiled:
"Gege, you are here to test the slaves. Hahaha... OK, then the slaves will tell you... When you first came, they needed to put you up as a big flag, so naturally they should
We will take care of you comfortably and gracefully.
They want the whole world to see: What's going on, Peiqing's own princesses couldn't stay in Beiqing anymore, and they all fled to our Ming Dynasty. What did our Ming Dynasty do to her? The whole world has seen it, right?
Our Ming Dynasty is so benevolent and righteous, so popular!
"If this is what we want, then we can just make you a princess and raise you. But then they put you into the People's Guard and put you in power. To be honest, at that time, the slaves in the north really looked at you.
I don’t understand. I thought to myself, wasn’t Nan Ming deliberately trying to cause trouble for himself? Later, Nan Ming suddenly attacked the Qing Dynasty, and everyone’s hearts became enlightened. Oh.
, I bet you were planning how to attack the Qing Dynasty at that time. Wouldn’t it be a pity to leave a former top official like you unused? Aren’t all the secrets of the Qing Dynasty stored in your head?
Is it in there? In the beginning, Nanming's attack was so smooth, there must have been a lot of contribution from Ge Ge... Haha, this slave guessed it right, right?"
Fourteen Gege didn't react at all. He still squinted his eyes, stroked the cat, and said with a smile:
"Hmm... go on."
Yonggui observed the words and expressions, and based on his understanding of this old superior, he judged that she had listened.
He was greatly encouraged, smiled, and continued:
"Hey. Gege, you must also understand what I want to say. Nanming is so good to you now, giving you high officials and generous salaries, and treating you as a treasure of the Qing Dynasty. What is the reason?... There is only one reason -
—That means there is still a Qing Dynasty in the north! A Qing Dynasty that is evenly matched with the Southern Ming Dynasty!
... As the saying goes, when the birds are gone and the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. Gege, you must have thought about it, if one day, the Great Qingzhen let Nan Ming be destroyed, or if Nan Ming was defeated and defeated, surrendered and no longer became its leader.
If you threaten me, will Nanming still let you, the Great Qing Dynasty, be "below one person and be superior to ten thousand people"?
"At that time, even if the Southern Ming Dynasty was more civilized than the Qing Dynasty, and even if Zhu Yourong was softer than our emperor and did not 'cook' you, at least he would have to 'hide' you. Princess, you don't need to talk too much, you can think of that."
What was your situation at that time... They made excuses one after another, removed your positions of power one by one, and finally imprisoned you.
Keep them in captivity at the Princess Mansion... Oh, maybe Zhu Yourong will use you as a prize and give it to some meritorious official as his wife... Gege, you are a heroine of the generation, is it possible that you are in the backyard of some old and fat official?
Being jealous of a lot of women for the rest of your life?...Gege, don't tell this slave, you haven't thought about this..."
As Yonggui spoke, he carefully observed Shi Shigege's reaction.
Fourteen Gege frowned slightly, with a cold face, and slowly stroked the black cat in her arms without saying a word.
Yonggui was overjoyed to know that his words had indeed had an effect.
"But Princess," he continued, "what if you think about it the other way around? What if the power of the Ming and Qing Dynasties maintains a balance like this? You must also understand, Princess... If the Qing Dynasty hangs over Nan Ming's head for a day, then Nan Ming will have to put you down
As a treasure for one day, you will also be in a high position of power, one person below you, and one day above ten thousand people. The Qing Dynasty is the mortal enemy of Nanming, but it is also your talisman!"
Yonggui carefully observed the expression of Shi Shigege, and after a moment he carefully said:
"Gege, don't think that this slave is here to be a lobbyist... Even if the slave is suspected of being a lobbyist, what he says is caring and caring for you! ... Think about it, what the slave said is
Isn't that true? Apart from the slaves, has anyone in Nanming told you? Has Xiang Xiaoqiang told you?"
Fourteen Gege sat on the sofa and continued not to say a word, but continued to stroke the cat slowly.
Yonggui felt that the time was ripe, and fell down at the feet of Shi Shigege again, crying with tears on his face:
"Gege... The Qing Dynasty is sorry for you, but you are a bannerman, and this cannot be changed. The blood between us bannermen is thicker than water!...Gege, you are our princess one day, and you will be our princess forever!"
"
Fourteen Gege immediately retracted his feet and frowned:
"Hey, what are you doing? After all, a grown man, what is he doing?"
Yonggui stood up on his knees and said with tears streaming down his face:
"Gege, don't you know that my servant brought something for you this time..."
As he said that, he took it out of his pocket.
Shi Shigege's eyes flashed, and he immediately put his hand in his pajamas pocket, held the small pistol, and pointed it at Yonggui in his pocket.
She said coldly:
"Okay, that's all. You don't have to give me anything. I won't accept your things. Now we are each our own masters. I can't tell you what I have collected."
But what Yonggui took out from his arms was just a small silk bag. He held it in one hand and carefully unfolded it layer by layer with the other hand.
Shi Shi Gege's right hand did not take it out from his pocket, he still held the small pistol and stared intently at the small bag in Yong Gui's hand.
The last layer of silk was peeled off, and what Yonggui held in his hand was a pure white and moist mutton-fat jade seal.
The seal is short cylindrical, with a layer of yellow jade skin on the top, engraved with exquisite and complex bas-reliefs in clever colors. The entire white jade seal exudes nobility, subtle and astonishing beauty under the soft light.
Fourteen Gege's heart trembled, and his eyes froze, staring at the most familiar thing in front of him.
..."Princess Heshuo Dongzhen" seal...my own "Princess Heshuo Dongzhen" personal seal...
At that time, I was arrested in the train carriage, and all my belongings were taken away, including this personal seal... Now, my belongings appeared in front of me again...
…
"You..." Shi Shigege blurted out, "Yonggui, you...what do you mean? Who asked you to bring it?"
Yonggui did not answer, but carefully and respectfully placed the fourteen-square seal on the coffee table, and then took it out of his pocket.
This time, although Shi Shigege still had his hand in his pocket, his index finger holding the trigger had already been loosened. He just stared blankly at Yonggui, guessing what he was going to take out again.
Yonggui took out another smaller thing. It was a long, flat black shark leather box as wide as a matchbox. He held it in one hand, opened it with the other, and held it in front of Shifengge.
This is a metal key.
This is larger than the usual keys, and the shape is more complex, with several rotatable joints. But people like Shi Shigege can tell what kind of key it is at a glance.
This should be the bank safe key.
Yonggui said:
"Gege, you came to Nanming in a hurry. Your property is still in the Qing Dynasty, and you didn't have time to take it away... The emperor said, no matter what grudges we have between ourselves, once we step out of our own door, the Fourteenth Gege will still be the Qing Dynasty.
The Princess of Qing Dynasty represents our Qing Dynasty... We cannot let Princess live in Nanming
The lack of funds slowed down the majesty of Princess Qing in front of Nanming... This time, the emperor asked his servant to bring the title seal and property of Princess and hand them over to Princess... The emperor asked his servant to tell Princess that in Nanming
Keep your chest high and be a good person, don't always feel that you are short of Zhu...
"Gege, the emperor has opened a small property trust vault for you at the Union Bank of Switzerland. The emperor has sent people to transport the main property that Gege left at home, such as bills, jewelry, jewelry, gold, cash, etc., and it is there now.
In a small vault in Zurich, Switzerland, a secret
It's so secret that no one knows... But, the emperor said, there is only Gege's chattels... Gege's real estate, real estate, minerals, operations, etc. in the Qing Dynasty. It's not that the emperor wants to occupy it and refuses to give it to him. It's really a war between the two sides.
Gege is determined to stay in Nanming again, so there is nothing she can do...
"By the way, Gege, the emperor said that among Gege's belongings, there are three safe keys. They must be the safes that Gege opened in a bank in some country. Gege must have remembered the password, so the emperor put them together in the trust vault.
, so that Gege can use it for herself...Gege, here you go, this is the password..."
Fourteen Gege stared blankly, subconsciously taking the key and password, holding them tightly in her hands, her heart was pounding, as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over, and she couldn't say anything for a moment.
