Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

This guy is the champion of martial arts in the third year of Kangxi... the best martial arts in the world!

After being won the champion of martial arts, this Wu Sanwei first served as Emperor Kangxi's bodyguard for two years, and was sent by Aobai to Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province as a general in the fifth year of Kangxi. Not bad, he wiped out several gangs of bandits under the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, so he should have been promoted to lieutenant-general.

But Emperor Kangxi felt that his name was not good, and he looked like Wu Sangui's brothers...all of the "three-character generation", so he was allowed to continue guarding the city in Ganzhou.

I didn't expect to recommend him to Kana today.

Emperor Kangxi did not dismiss it immediately, but asked: "Is this Wu Sanwei good at fighting?"

"If you go back to the emperor, he is the champion of martial arts, of course he can fight." He smiled to Kana, "This man is brave and good at fighting, and he looks mighty, with black face, ring eyes, and beard. He is good at wielding a long snake spear. Wan Fu's undeserved bravery is nicknamed Sai Zhang Fei in the army."

"Sai Zhang Fei?" Emperor Kangxi also remembered the appearance of that Wu Sanwei at this time, indeed a bit like Zhang Fei!

Thinking of this, he also nodded, and said with a smile: "The third prince Zhu looks like Guan Gong, so I will send Sai Zhangfei to meet him! Let him be... as Mi Sihan's imperial envoy and supervisor of the Minister of Military Affairs, the guard of the yamen Cooperate with the lieutenant general!"

Seeing that Emperor Kangxi promoted the "Sai Zhangfei" recommended by him in Kana, he was relieved... Of course, He Shen still has to find it as soon as possible!If you can't find him, you have to find his family!

Just as he thought of this, Suo'etu had already walked in quickly, knelt down to Emperor Kangxi, and then said, "Your Majesty, Wu Yingxiong has already been brought here."

Kangxi smiled and said, "Let's leave... By the way, Xiong Cilu and Xue Zhang, you two stay here. Suo'etu, go and call Wu Yingxiong and that Lu Butou in together."

"Whoo!"

Chapter 071 I will not withdraw the domain, I will move the domain!

When Emperor Kangxi asked Suo Etu to bring Wu Yingxiong and Lu Renyi to the South Study Room for an audience, Wu Yingxiong and Lu Renyi were talking in the guard room outside the Taihe Gate!

This Lu Renyi has been sitting in the value room for most of the day, but he is not lonely, because there is a "Master Hu Jian" surnamed Shi who has been talking to him.This "Lord Hu Jian" is not a small official, he is a minister of the interior, but he is not very good, and he is at the gate of the Supreme Harmony Gate.

When Lu Renyi was brought here by Xue Zhang to greet him, he revealed his Chaozhou accent, which aroused the interest of "Master Shi" who was reading "Jin Ping Mei" carefully.This "Master Shi" immediately asked him about the situation in Chaozhou in Hokkien Mandarin.

And Lu Renyi is also a master who can speak well. When the two of them were chatting happily in Chaozhou Mandarin and Hokkien Mandarin, Wu Yingxiong came!

Originally, the guard office was quite lively, except for "Master Shi" and Lu Renyi who had a happy chat, there were a few other yellow jackets who were chatting there... But no one is guarding the Supreme Harmony Gate carefully, and they are not afraid of assassins Go through the Taihe Gate, pass through the Supreme Harmony Hall, then enter the Qianqing Gate, and finally run to the South Study Room next to the Qianqing Palace to kill the emperor!

But as soon as Wu Yingxiong came, everyone felt as if someone had hit the dumb acupoint - they stopped talking!

The "Lord Shi" who was having a lively chat with Lu Renyi just said hello to Suo Etu, and then picked up a copy of "Jin Ping Mei".

After Suo Etu left Wu Yingxiong at the bodyguard, he went to report to Emperor Kangxi alone, but Lu Renyi didn't know that Wu Yingxiong had "dead".He saw that he was such a high-ranking official, and he looked quite approachable, so he hurried up to flatter him, and he asked for his greetings, moved the chair, and wiped the back of Wu Yingxiong's chair with the sleeve of his ninth-rank military officer's uniform.

His official uniform is still newly made, because he wants to "enter the court to testify", and the imperial envoy Mi Sihan has guaranteed him an extra foreign commissioner from the ninth rank-the smallest official can't be smaller, and when he arrives at Taiyuan Both the door and the gate are so small that they are "rare".Usually Wu Yingxiong would not even lift his eyelids when he saw this sesame mung bean.

But today he is in trouble... the society is dead, no one pays attention to him, even Shi Lang, the big white-faced fourth official who usually calls him brother and brother, now pretends not to know him, which also shows his innocence The "benevolence and righteousness" of the petty official Lu Renyi is gone.

So Wu Yingxiong started talking to him, asking where he is from and what background he was from?After asking, he gave Lu Renyi a business card. As soon as Lu Renyi put away the business card, Suo'etu came.

"Forehead son-in-law, Chief Lu, the emperor announces that you two will meet together."

Wu Yingxiong and Lu Renyi were taken aback for a moment, but they followed Suo'etu obediently into the Taihe Gate.

This Wu Yingxiong didn't know whether he was really dying or was pretending to be dead. Anyway, he just walked outside the South Study Room when he suddenly shivered, as if he had a sudden illness, and his whole body went limp.Lu Renyi, who was walking beside Wu Yingxiong, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and quickly supported Wu Yingxiong.

"My son-in-law, my son-in-law, what's the matter with you? Are you okay?" Lu Renyi greeted kindly, while carefully looking at Wu Yingxiong's face. Seeing his pale face, he thought that his son-in-law drank too much. He bullied the princess... So without thinking too much, he helped Wu Yingxiong generously and walked into the South Study Room step by step.

In the South Study Room, there were only Emperor Kangxi, Xiong Cilu and Xue Zhang at this time.Emperor Kangxi was sitting at the edge of the imperial case, writing big characters with a brush in his hand.Xiong Cilu and Xue Zhang stood beside them without saying a word.

Seeing Wu Yingxiong asking Lu Renyi to help him in, the three of them were stunned—what's going on?Has Wu Yingxiong been scared to death?How did that Lu Renyi support him?Still so courteous, did he join Wu Sangui's family?

"Slave Wu Yingxiong, respectfully invite the emperor to be safe..."

Although Wu Yingxiong was terrified in his heart, he still had to pay his respects to him... If he really had to die, he still had to thank the Lord for his kindness!

"I kowtow to the emperor to pay my respects..."

Lu Renyi quickly kowtowed to Emperor Kangxi.

"Lu Renyi, you just kowtowed to me, now you can kowtow to Prince Pingxi... Maybe in a few days, he will be your vassal king in Guangdong, you have to flatter me in advance!"

"Hey!" Lu Renyi and those who were quite obedient, the emperor flattered them as soon as they asked, and immediately turned to Wu Yingxiong and kowtowed to Wu Yingxiong a few times.

Wu Yingxiong, on the other hand, was in a daze. He waited until Lu Renyi finished kowtowing his head before reacting, and said to Kangxi, "Long Live Lord, this slave's Ama is the Pingxi King who guards Yunnan..."

Kangxi laughed and said: "It's not good for the feudal king to stay in one place all the time, since running water doesn't rot, and household hinges don't die!

What's more, your family's former lord Chongzhen left a will, ordering you, Ama, to assist his son Ding Wang Cijiong!Now that Zhu Cijiong has raised the flag to rebel in Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong, shouldn't you, Ama, go to Guangdong? "

Hearing Emperor Kangxi's words, Wu Yingxiong lay down on the ground in fright again, and explained cryingly: "Your Majesty, when I opened the Shanhai Pass to welcome the Qing Heavenly Soldiers, I was no longer a subject of Ming. I have long stopped thinking about the kindness of the old master, otherwise he would not have fought the Central Plains for the Qing Dynasty and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, conquered 58 cities, and captured Zhu Youlang alive. The late emperor also named him The vassal kings with different surnames pledged to kill horses and never lose each other... Your Majesty, do you think that I, Ama, will break my oath with the late emperor because of a Chongzhen edict, and go to assist the third prince Zhu and his son who have long been thieves?"

"Hahaha..." Emperor Kangxi laughed loudly, "My son-in-law, I didn't say that you, Ama, would go to Guangdong to assist the third prince Zhu. The third prince and his gang have revealed the remnants of the past! As for the oath he made with the late emperor, I will naturally continue to abide by it!"

After hearing Kangxi's words, Suo'etu, Xiong Cilu, and Xue Zhang's eyes lit up.

Emperor Kangxi's trick is really brilliant!

This is the plan of two tigers competing for food and driving tigers to devour wolves, which Emperor Kangxi figured out after he stayed up all night and studied "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with red eyes!

He is using Wu Sangui, the Yunnan tiger, to drive Shang Kexi, the South China tiger, to swallow the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu, two vicious wolves with grenade hammers in their mouths!

At the same time, Kangxi also used the rich Guangdong to provoke Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, and let them, two tigers who disliked each other, bite and fight on their own, so that the Qing court could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

After all, Guangdong is much richer than Yunnan!

Wu Sangui's army didn't have enough expenses in that difficult place in Yunnan, and the imperial court had to allocate funds to maintain it every year, and the Qing court also used money and food to jam Wu Sangui's neck, which made Wu Sangui very uncomfortable.

But Shang Kexi doesn't have to worry about money at all, Guangdong is already rich, and he also has "free" Macau - Xiangshan trade can make a lot of money.If it wasn't for Shang Kexi's cowardice, not daring to blatantly violate the court's sea ban policy, he would be able to earn several million dollars a year.

If Wu Sangui, the hungry tiger, went to Guangdong, wouldn't he be free to make money?At that time, there will be no money and food from the court at all, and Wu Fan will be able to live a very nourishing life.

But Wu Yingxiong didn't immediately kowtow to thank him...he didn't believe it!How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Emperor Kangxi watched Wu Yingxiong with an honest face staying there, and immediately picked up a large character written on the table and showed it to Wu Yingxiong.

"Forehead son-in-law, do you see what I wrote?"

Wu Yingxiong looked up and found that there were two names written on the rice paper, one was "Zhu Cijiong" and the other was "Zhu Heqi".

Wu Yingxiong asked: "Your Majesty, this Zhu Cijiong slave knows that he is the Ding Wang of the previous Ming Dynasty, but who is this Zhu Heqi?"

Emperor Kangxi glanced at Lu Renyi, "Lu Renyi, do you know who this Zhu Hechi is?"

Of course Lu Renyi knew, but how dare he tell the truth?Falsifying and deceiving the emperor, it seems that the falsehood has become true... What a crime!

"I know, he, he is the third grandson of Zhu!" Lu Renyi gritted his teeth and said, "He is the grandson of the former Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Kangxi looked at Wu Yingxiong and said word by word: "Starting today, the list of Zhenzhi Yubi hanging on the pillar in the South Study Room will be changed...'San Francisco' will be replaced by 'Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Heqi' !"

Chapter 072 Wu Sangui, Your Son Made a Bad Friend by Mistake!

The mansion of Pingxi King Wu Sangui stands tall on Wuhua Mountain in Kunming City. This mansion was originally the palace of Emperor Yongli, and it was the mansion of Sun Kewang before.After it fell into the hands of Wu Sangui, it was greatly repaired. After more than 20 years of operation, it is not known how many times more luxurious and rich than when it was in the hands of Emperor Yongli.

Moreover, Wu Sangui also took the Wuhua Mountain area as his old nest and built rows of warehouses under Wuhua Mountain. Inside, there were mountains of gold, silver and copper coins, and countless armored equipment.On both sides of Wu Sangui's Yin'an Hall, where Wu Sangui was in charge of government affairs, two rows of government offices were built. There were Bingma Division, Fan Official Division, Salt Tea Division, Punishment Division, Casting Hall and other institutions, all of which were imitated by the six departments of the imperial court. The Yamen came, just changed the name.

At the foot of Wuhua Mountain are the streets and alleys of Kunming City that Wu Sangui has painstakingly managed for many years.Although the prosperity of Kunming is not comparable to that of Guangzhou, it is the first-class prosperous place in today's southwest. Guiyang, the capital of the neighboring province of Guizhou, cannot compare with it, nor can it be compared with Chengdu and Chongqing in Sichuan, the land of abundance, in the north... The bookkeeping of the entire Sichuan is only over 1, which is only a fraction of that of Kunming.Even taking into account the problem of hidden households, the population of Sichuan province is at most hundreds of thousands.

That's a place where tigers wander around in a city. It's comparable to some wild animal parks. How can it compare with Kunming?At least there were no tigers in Kunming city, even outside the city. Even if there were some Yunnan tigers, they were all beaten to death by Wu Sangui's men.

At this moment, Wu Sangui, who was sitting in Lie Cuixuan on the west side of his house's Yin'an Hall, had a tiger skin taken from a certain Kunming native tiger... or a very precious white tiger skin under his buttocks.Sitting opposite him was Yang Qilong who claimed to be the envoy of the Third Grandson of Zhu.

In fact, Yang Qilong had already arrived in Kunming, but he did not come in the name of the envoy of the third grandson of Zhu, but came to Kunming with a note written by Wu Yingxiong to Wu Sangui.

Since he is Wu Yingxiong's friend, of course Wu Sangui will let people treat him well—this is called Corporal Li Xian!

No, Wu Sangui never thought that his son Wu Yingxiong, who seemed honest and treacherous, actually made a bad friend by mistake!

This Yang Qilong is a bad friend who cheats people to death!

The day after Wu Sangui received an urgent report from Guangdong that Mi Sihan was defeated in Jieyang, Yang Qilong came to him with the decree of the third grandson of Zhu.

Before that, Wu Sangui had already received the news of "Chongzhen's Legacy" from his cousin Zu Zeqing, and he had been restless for several days. He finally got the good news, and in a blink of an eye, another little devil came to his door... ...and this kid is also a good friend of his son Wu Yingxiong.

This made Wu Sangui not anxious, how could he not get angry, how could he not want to kill Yang Qilong with a single knife?

And Yang Qilong looked at the majestic old man Wu Sangui, who looked a little bit like a wolf, and looked nothing like the loyal Wu Yingxiong, but he had a tricky smile on his face, which was particularly annoying to see. .Wu Sangui once suspected that the "Chongzhen Legacy" was forged by Yang Qilong!

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is unlikely... The "legacy" was found by Shang Zhixin from the thief's lair in Dananshan. Not so.If he really colluded with the third prince Zhu to that extent, then the third grandson Zhu will not be arrested, and the third prince Zhu will not be trapped in the capital of Guiyu.

Moreover, this edict is indeed in line with the situation of the year. If Zhu Cijiong had really left Beijing, then Emperor Chongzhen would have left one or more of the edicts with a large general in his hands.

At that time, the courtiers who still held heavy troops and were still loyal to Ming Dynasty were Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Zheng Zhilong, Qin Liangyu and others.Among them, the one with the strongest force and the one closest to Beijing is undoubtedly Wu Sangui!

Therefore, one of the several edicts left by Chongzhen must be for Wu Sangui!

In addition, Wu Sangui once sent people to look for the three sons of Emperor Chongzhen after the stone war, but they only found the prince Zhu Cihong, but did not find Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, and Zhu Cizhao, the king of Yong.Moreover, Wu Sangui also asked Zhu Cihong about the whereabouts of King Ding and King Yong, and the answer he got was "Leave the palace first", and if he asked again, he would not know.

Back then, Wu Sangui didn't care about it, but just gave Zhu Cihong a sum of money to let him run as far as he could. Now that he thinks about it, he finally understands—"Leave the palace first" means "run away early"!

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Sangui snorted heavily: "Since you belong to the Third Prince Zhu, why didn't you explain your purpose earlier and delay giving me this document until today, isn't it too late?"

"Not too late, not too late..." Yang Qilong said with a smile, "If Yang had brought out this edict a few days earlier, he might have been decapitated!"

"Hmph!" Wu Sangui snorted, "The lonely king can't kill you now?"

Yang Qilong smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty won't kill Yang now, because today's King Ding is just like Nurhachi in the past! Why should Your Majesty abandon good friends and become enemies, so that we can't meet each other in the future?"

"It's not shameless!" Wu Sangui smiled, "How can He De, the third prince of Zhu, dare to be compared with the emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty?"

Yang Qilong smiled and said: "Let's see... Guangdong Green Camp has already been defeated, who will it be next? Pingnan Palace or the Green Camp in Beidi Central Plains? If they lose again, it's time for the Eight Banners soldiers to go up? Three to five Can the Qianba Banners take down Jieyang? If not... Your Majesty's chance has come!"

"This king's opportunity?" Wu Sangui looked at Yang Qilong, "What opportunity?"

Yang Qilong said with a smile: "In those days, if only Jiannu started in the cold and miserable place outside the pass without breaking through, offering two lords to run rampant in the Central Plains, at most Jiannu would be in Xixia's situation. Now Jiannu has the whole world, even if King Ding has the power to reach the sky. If there is no great king to raise troops in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shaanxi, at most it will be a situation of separating Guangdong and Guangxi. And using Guangdong and Guangxi to resist the world, I am afraid it will not last long!"

Wu Sangui's face darkened: "Hmph, do you want this old man to be Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?"

"Your Majesty," Yang Qilong said, "Li Zicheng was almost able to win the world... Besides, if King Wu Ding makes trouble in Guangdong, you, Your Majesty, will be the thorn in the side of the Tartar court and the first enemy that Kangxi wants to eradicate. Your Majesty, if you want a good death, and if you want your son to take over your throne safely, you must have a third prince Zhu who can't be swallowed by Emperor Kangxi of the Tartars! Whether the third prince Zhu is an enemy or a friend, your majesty Don't you understand?"

Wu Sangui's face turned livid, "But once Shang Zhixin made the edict public, how many treacherous officials in the imperial court will use this as an excuse to frame this old man!"

Yang Qilong chuckled: "So what? As long as the third prince does not fall, Kangxi will not dare to touch the king and the prince... He is not so confused! And the more violent the third prince is, the more he has to stabilize the king. .At that time, the king only needs to pretend to be sick, and maybe he can let the son return to Yunnan."

Wu Sangui fell silent again, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, as if he was thinking hard.After a long while, he didn't say anything, but just picked up the tea bowl...serving the guests with tea!

Yang Qilong stood up knowingly to say goodbye, seeing him leaving Lie Cuixuan, Wu Sangui coughed, and behind him a thin old man in his 60s and wearing a green cloth robe came out from behind a huge screen.

The old man looked at the back of Yang Qilong going away, and said with a slight smile: "My lord, why don't I let the old man go to Guangdong with this monk Yang?"

"Xuan Chu," Wu Sangui looked back at the old man, "then I'll have to work..."

This old man turned out to be Liu Xuanchu, the mastermind of Wu Sangui's men. Liu Xuanchu twirled his beard, thought for a while, and then said to Wu Sangui: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself sick now."

Wu Sangui smiled: "Xuanchu reminded me that the old man has been unwell recently and it is difficult to manage the overall situation. If Ying Xiong can't come back, the master of Yunnan may be taken by Ying Qi, a daredevil!"

Chapter 073 Unfilial Father

Guangzhou, Pingnan Palace.

On a certain day in early November, Shang Zhixin hurriedly returned to Guangfu from the front line of Mianhuzhai in Chaozhou after receiving a warrant from Shang Kexi to "return to Guangzhou quickly". Was scolded by an unfilial father pointing his nose.

"My father, look at the trouble you have caused. The emperor is going to send our family to Yunnan now. What should we do? What a wonderful place here in Guangdong, how can it be compared to the poor and remote village in Yunnan? Our family If so many people are going to Yunnan, how will they live?"

Shang Zhixin didn't know about Emperor Kangxi's strategy of "two tigers competing for food and driving tigers to devour wolves". He was stunned for how much he was reprimanded by his unfilial father, and he forgot to even reply. , and hurriedly asked: "Ama, what's the matter? Our family is going to Yunnan? What about Wu Sangui's family? Could it be that the emperor cut down the feudal clan because of Chongzhen's edict?"

Shang Kexi glared at his son fiercely, "Screw your fart? Do you think the emperor is as stupid as you? The emperor is wise!"

"Didn't cut Wu Sangui? Then we went to Yunnan, where did Wu Sangui go?"

"He's coming to Guangdong!" Shang Kexi stomped his feet, "He's coming to be Pingnan King, and I'm going to be Pingxi King... This palace, this Guangzhou city, and Xiangshan's income of 200 million a year all belong to Wu Sangui It’s terrible! We are going to go to Yunnan to suffer! It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault! What kind of bandits are you raising, and what’s wrong with raising them?”

"What?" Shang Zhixin couldn't believe his ears, "The emperor asked Wu Sangui to come to Guangdong? Is he crazy? Isn't he afraid that Wu Sangui will collude with the third prince Zhu to rebel after coming to Guangdong?"

"Rebellion? Rebellion!" Shang Ke said angrily, "The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are invincible! Wu Sangui dare to rebel?"

But Shang Zhixin shook his head again and again, "What is the invincibility of the heavenly soldiers? Those heavenly soldiers will be embarrassing if they come to Guangdong...Ama, the edict to transfer the domain has come down?"

"Not yet!" Shang Kexi said, "Fortunately, there are still people in the court who speak for our family, so the emperor hasn't issued an edict yet... We still have one last chance!"

"No edict?" Shang Zhixin suddenly realized, "Hey, the emperor is playing tricks on us! Ama, don't trust him."

"Don't believe me?" Shang Kexi glared at his son, "What shall we do when the emperor's imperial edict comes down? Can we not go? Will this old thief Wu Sangui come to Guangdong if he can live a good life? Geng Jingzhong? Will he stand up for us when it's time for Yifan? The couple in Guangxi are the nails placed between our family and Wu Sangui by the imperial court, so they won't speak for us... Can we not go when the time comes?"

"Ama," Shang Zhixin shook his head like a rattle, "the edict to move the feudal domain cannot be issued... The purpose of the emperor is to force us to send troops to fight the third prince Zhu desperately!"

"Isn't that our duty?" Shang Kexi's expression turned extremely ugly, "I'm so tired, I think you've been exhausted for a while, it's time to take a rest!"

Shang Zhixin was taken aback, looked at his unfilial father, and after a while he said: "Ama, what do you mean?"

"I Da Gong," Shang Kexi said with a serious face, "I have already decided, you will recuperate in Guangzhou Mansion, and let your younger brother Zhi Xiao go to Mianhu Village to oversee the army!"

"What? You, you..." Shang Zhixin finally understood now that he was deprived of military power by his unfilial father.

"Go back and rest!" Shang Kexi looked at his son coldly, "My father, none of our old and new brothers under the feudal clan intend to follow you to Yunnan to endure hardships!"
