Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

At the same time, we can also contact Zhu San in Guangdong, and make an appointment to divide the world equally, and then ask him to sail north by sea, attacking the fertile land in the east of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and cutting off the source of wealth of the Qing court.In this way, even if the whole world cannot be mixed, the north-south dichotomy can still be expected. "

What Wu Guogui is proposing now is roughly the route Wu Sangui took after the rebellion in history.

It's just that Wu Sangui fought to the edge of the Yangtze River and was scared when he heard that the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers had arrived in Jingzhou on the other side.And Zheng Jing, who teamed up with Wu Sangui, was also very timid. After winning the four prefectures of Chao, Hui, Zhang, and Quan, he dared not go to the Yangtze River Estuary by sea to gamble big.Only Geng Jingzhong kept attacking Zhejiang foolishly, but he couldn't defeat the Qing soldiers, and withered when he advanced to Wenzhou and Quzhou.

But this time, Zhu Tianwang, Zhu and Zhu, who turned up first, are not so cowardly. If they are allowed to pacify the entire province of Guangdong, they will definitely go north to Jiangnan!

So Wu Sangui's possibility of realizing this "divided world" is not small.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui nodded, already made up his mind, but he still didn't make it clear in front of a group of subordinates, he just sighed and said, "It would be great if Yingxiong could come back."

While talking, he looked at Fang Guangchen and Wang Shirong.

This time, it was Wu Sangui's old friend and confidant Fang Guangchen who spoke, "My lord, you have pretended to be ill for so long, and Kangxi is still unmoved... It seems that you can only go one step further!"

Further?Wu Sangui looked at Fang Guangchen, "Ting Xian, what do you mean..."

"Play dead!"

"Play dead?" Wu Sangui frowned, "How do I pretend?"

Fang Guangchen said: "You can pretend to be dead and alive... Let's keep it secret!"

Chapter 181 San Francisco, you are all loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty!

Forbidden City, South Study Room.

Emperor Kangxi looked at the post with the names of "Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Heqi" written on the column, and his brows became tighter and tighter!

Emperor Kangxi originally thought that this post would be removed in a short time, but the development of the situation was very different from what he had imagined.

Almost completely confused Emperor Kangxi, the sage master!

At this moment, there are a bunch of secret pleadings on his imperial case... There are Shang Zhixin's pleadings, and Jin Guangzu, Xue Zhang, Shang Zhijie and others' exposing and impeaching Shang Zhixin, of course there are also There are Shang Zhixin and Jin Guangzu's report on the fall of Guangzhou Fucheng and their pleadings, as well as the pleadings submitted by the imperial envoy Mi Sihan, the governor of Guangdong Liu Bingquan, the governor of Fujian Fan Chengmo, and the admiral of the Fujian Navy Shi Lang.

In short, it is the defeat of the three armies, the chaos in Fujian and Guangdong, everyone is guilty, everyone deserves to die...but no one can be killed!

That's right, you can't kill any of them!Even Shang Zhixin, who admitted to colluding with Wu Yingxiong to deceive the emperor, could not be killed.

One is that he can't be killed... This guy hid in Xinhui County after finishing the pleading sheet. Emperor Kangxi couldn't kill him even if he wanted to!

Now Nanhai, Panyu, Xiangshan, Shunde, Xinning, Heshan, Sanshui and other counties around Xinhui are all lost.Xinhui had become an isolated city, and Emperor Kangxi didn't have the conditions to kill Shang Zhixin.

Second, if you want to kill Shang Zhixin, you have to kill Wu Yingxiong!This is a matching... There are two criminals who deceived the king and committed the crime. Can't just kill one Shang Zhixin?You have to kill Wu Yingxiong!And once Wu Yingxiong dies, there will definitely be a rebellion in Yunnan!Moreover, Wu Sangui's confidantes are all over the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. If this is reversed, it will be the same as the three provinces.

Moreover, there is Zu Zeqing in Guangdong who is also from Wu Sangui, and he is about to follow suit. Not only will the state capitals in western Guangdong be lost, but even Guangxi may not be able to hold on!

At that time, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi will all rebel... Then the world will be in chaos!

Therefore, the question that Emperor Kangxi is thinking about now is not how to kill Shang Zhixin who deserves to die, but how to excuse Shang Zhixin and package him from a criminal who deceived the emperor into a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

This is really embarrassing for Emperor Kangxi!

Although it was difficult, Emperor Kangxi still refrained from asking the ministers and servants in the South Study for their opinions... This matter must be dictated by the Sacred Heart!

Because it is politically correct to kill Monk Wu Yingxiong, and there is no risk for the people below to shout and kill.On the contrary, if you want to excuse the two of them, you may be implicated instead.

So Emperor Kangxi can't ask... If he asks, he can't step down!

But Kangxi didn't ask, and a group of cabinet ministers and ministers who discussed politics didn't say anything.Each of them has prepared two sets of plans, one is to impeach Shang Zhixin and Wu Yingxiong; the other is to pretend to be stupid.

Which set to use depends on what Shengjun Kangxi said?

Now that Kangxi doesn't speak, and the ministers don't speak, all the monarchs and ministers in the South Study have practiced "shutting up".

I don't know how long this silence lasted until it was interrupted by a sudden notification sound outside the door of Nan's study.

"The slave leads the minister of the guard, Gabra, to see him!"

The person who came was Sony's eldest son, Suo'etu's eldest brother, Emperor Kangxi's father-in-law Lao Taishan, and Hesheli Gabula, who was the official leader of the guard and internal minister.

"Announce!" Emperor Kangxi hastily announced his father-in-law to the palace.

Gabra didn't come empty-handed, but came in with three boxes containing ensembles. After entering, he saluted Kangxi, and then respectfully placed the boxes in front of Emperor Kangxi's desk, whispering: Said: "Your Majesty, the records of Zhu Guozhi, governor of Yunnan, Geng Jingzhong, king of Jingnan, and Shi Lang, admiral of Fujian navy, have arrived."

When it comes to titles and official positions among the three, Geng Jingzhong must be the biggest, but Gabra knew Kangxi's thoughts very well, so he put the box containing Zhu Guozhi's memorial on the top.

Emperor Kangxi didn't speak, just opened the box, took out Zhu Guozhi's memorial, opened it and read it.

At a glance, Rao was Kangxi's city mansion, and his complexion suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "How can Wu Sangui die?"

what?

Wu Sangui is dead?

Why is the emperor so anxious?

The ministers below are all very clever, they can listen to what they say, and they can read people when they see them, so they immediately understand it in their hearts.

Tu Hai, a scholar of the Palace of Central Harmony, was the first to kneel down and ask, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"Wu Sangui may be dead!" Kangxi said, "Zhu Guozhi said that Wu Sangui had a stroke a few months ago, and then he was bedridden and unable to see things, but he could barely see guests. Huashan has visited several times.

At the end of April, there was news that Wu Sangui had suffered a stroke again on Mount Wuhua, and no one else has seen Wu Sangui since then.At the end of May, news spread that Wu Sangui was dead, and Wu Yingqi kept the funeral in secret, and had already grasped the real power of the Pingxi Palace..."

This is a big deal!

All the courtiers in the South study gasped!

Once upon a time, everyone in this group hoped that Wu Sangui would die by himself, but now they all hope that this old scourge can live for a few more years.

Because Wu Sangui is alive, at least the behavior of Yunnan can be guaranteed to be predictable.Everyone knows Wu Sangui's "counseling", that is, Emperor Kangxi was worried when he looked at this old counselor, and always felt that he wanted to rebel.

Of course, that Wu Yingxiong is a coward just like his father, and everyone knows that.

But what about Wu Yingqi?

The big guy doesn't know him well, he only knows that he is good at cutting people, and I also heard that he is reckless and acts impulsively... impulsiveness is not good!

Emperor Kangxi had already closed Zhu Guozhi's memorial at this time, took out Geng Jingzhong's memorial in a box below, looked at it, frowned again, and said in a low voice: "This Geng Jingzhong is not peaceful. It's time to invite you to report to the court, and you're already on your way..."

It's fine for the feudal lord to invite him into the court, but it's really against the rules to go on the road without waiting for the court's reply!

However, Kangxi added another sentence: "It's good to be here, I just want to discuss the situation in Fujian with him."

The emperor has said so, and of course the others will not say more.

Besides, at this moment, the feudal lord is willing to enter the court by himself, at least it shows that he has no ghosts in his heart and has no rebellion, right?

Then Emperor Kangxi took out Shi Lang's memorial again, opened it and looked at it twice, and unexpectedly showed a happy face, and said "OK", but didn't say anything after that.

After putting Shi Lang's memorial back into the box, Emperor Kangxi pondered for a moment, then said to Gabula: "Gabula, send two first-class guards to bring Monk Wu Yingxiong's book to the South Study Room. Remember, you must Take them here well."

"Whoo."

Gabra led the decree and left, while Emperor Kangxi looked at a group of ministers and servants with serious expressions in the South Study Room, and said with eloquence: "The so-called poor family sees filial sons, and the country sees loyal ministers! It is the time for loyal ministers and filial sons to contribute to the country. And my Qing Dynasty has never lacked loyal ministers and filial sons, so these rebels who caused disasters will not last long, and will be wiped out by my loyal ministers and filial sons sooner or later.

And my three most loyal ministers in the Qing Dynasty now seem to be Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong.

The situation in Yunnan, Guangdong, and Fujian has been stable for so many years, it is because they are loyal to the country!They are all loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty and my good servants! "

Of course the ministers and servants below understand what Emperor Kangxi said... Now is not the time to pursue Wu Yingxiong and Shang Zhixin for their scourges.The most important thing now is to stabilize the power of the two vassal mansions, Pingxi Palace and Pingnan Palace.At the same time, Dingnan Wangfu and Jingnan Wangfu were pushed to the front stage to encircle and suppress the third prince Zhu.

Only in this way can the Qing court hope to control the chaos in Guangdong and Fujian.The Qing Dynasty used the manpower and material resources of the whole world to deal with the chaos that only occupied part of the two provinces, and the war of attrition was able to ensure victory in the end.

And the courtiers and servants who understand Emperor Kangxi's mind, of course, can only shout "The emperor is holy".

Chapter 182 If you say you die, you die, you can't die!

Monk Wu Yingxiong did not know what Emperor Kangxi said in the South Study Room, they only knew that their time was approaching.

Shang Zhixin was in the Shizi Mansion in Guangzhou that day, but in front of all the officials and brothers, he revealed that he was deceived by Wu Yingxiong and committed the serious crime of deceiving the emperor.Although most of the officials and "Shang Zhimou" who heard these words at that time disappeared on the way, a small half of them fled to Zhaoqing and Shaozhou in embarrassment.

Among them is the eyeliner of "Shang Zhimou" who is good at Monk Zhidian and Pingxi Wangfu.

Therefore, Monk Wu Yingxiong’s Dian has been making funeral arrangements for the past few days. Wu Yingxiong is better. He has already prepared the coffin, shroud, and paper money. His Princess Jianning of Fujin is also ready for the Empress Dowager The content of the note is to ask for the corpses of Wu Yingxiong and his three sons...

But Shang Zhidian was in a panic, his father Shang Kexi was the most loyal servant of the Qing Dynasty, and he was still encircling and suppressing the Third Prince Zhu in Guangdong for the Qing Dynasty.A good servant who is both loyal and useful.It stands to reason that no matter how the bandits are suppressed, the Shang family will not be in danger of survival.

But no one expected that his elder brother Shang Zhixin would go insane and confess in Guangzhou that he had colluded with Wu Yingxiong to deceive the king!

Moreover, this behavior of bullying the emperor is extremely bad, he is simply playing the emperor like a monkey!The rapid growth of the third prince Zhu in Guangdong is also inseparable from the "Chongzhen Legacy" incident.

So Shang Zhixin's crime was too great, to the point where his own life could not be redeemed!

What's even more hateful is that Shang Zhixin still refused to go to Beijing to lead his death honestly, but ran to Xinhui to linger to avoid death.

Shang Zhixin refused to lead him to death, so naturally it was Shang Zhidian's turn to "take his place" as a hostage in Beijing.

So Shang Zhidian was stunned when he got the bad news, he didn't know what to do other than lie down and die?When the imperial guards went to pass him on, he didn't even prepare the birthday material and shroud, and he didn't make any arrangements for the funeral.However, he managed to maintain his dignity as the son of Prince Pingnan, and he was not carried to see Kangxi, but walked into the South study by himself very strong.

But in the south study... At this time, the atmosphere is full of grief.Emperor Kangxi was wiping his tears with a "dragon handkerchief", and all the ministers and servants standing inside were crying.Shang Zhidian was confused - who is missing?Could it be the Empress Dowager?I saw her in good spirits two days ago, how could she be gone?

When he was thinking about it and kowtowed to Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi had already said to Shang Zhidian in a tone of comforting the family of the deceased: "Shang Zhidian, you have to be mournful and obedient!"

What?Am I sad?

After kowtowing, Shang Zhidian was confused and thought: "Is this something used to comfort the condemned prisoners?"

"Shang Zhidian," Emperor Kangxi said again, "Your Ama Shang is gratifying, your elder brother Shang Zhixin, and your thirty or forty brothers are all good... They are all loyal to my Qing Dynasty, Your Shang family is full of loyalty!"

The more Shang Zhidian listened, the more confused he became.

In the end what happened?Wasn't he, Amazhang, captured by the rebels?Didn't his elder brother Shang Zhixin hide in Xinhui to "avoid death" after stabbing a hornet's nest?Why have you become loyal now?

Before Shang Zhidian could react, Emperor Kangxi had already winked at the ministers on both sides.Then the ministers and servants in the South Study Room talked to each other, and came to comfort Shang Zhidian who "had just died Ama".

"Deputy Shang, Dutong, don't be too sad, the imperial court will definitely avenge your Shang family's enmity!"

"That's right, my court of the Qing Dynasty will never treat Zhonglie badly. Moreover, King Pingnan died heroically and deservedly. We will all set him as a model!"

"Deputy Shang, Dutong, don't worry, the false Third Prince Zhu, the false Third Grandson Zhu and other rebels will not last long, and the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court will soon completely wipe them out and kill them all!"

"Yes, such clowns won't last long..."

Shang Zhidian still didn't understand, but he didn't dare to contradict the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!

And he didn't have any objection to his Ama and his elder brother "being loyal"... If they became loyal, wouldn't he not have to behead them?

So he just lay on the ground with his butt pouted, without saying a word, just crying "woo woo".

Still pretty clever!

Kangxi looked at his sad appearance, and nodded lightly - Ruzi can be a king!

After making up his mind, he coughed, and the South study immediately fell silent.Kangxi said: "Shang Zhidian, your Ama, your eldest brother, and your second brother have all become loyal warriors. Your fourth brother Shang Zhijie caught wind and cold on the way out of Guangzhou, and I don't know if he can survive? Guangdong cannot live without a vassal king, you are the fifth elder brother of the Pingnan Palace, the position of Pingnan King, why not let you inherit it!"

What?When Pingnan King?This happiness came too suddenly, right?

Shang Zhidian was dumbfounded. He thought he was going to beheaded when he went out, but now he didn't kill the head, and let him be Pingnan King... How did such a good thing happen?

"Vice Dutong Shang, please thank you!"

Before Shang Zhidian could react, University scholar Tuhai had already reminded him.

Then Shang Zhidian cried and kowtowed three times to Emperor Kangxi, bang bang bang bang, his head was swollen.

Kangxi smiled and asked him to wait on the sidelines, and then asked someone to announce Wu Yingxiong.

Wu Yingxiong has lost a lot of weight recently, and his complexion is not very good, a little pale... From a chubby, cheerful middle-aged uncle to a middle-aged man with a melancholy temperament.

Of course, he also knew that Shang Zhixin had exposed him, so when he walked into the South Study Room, his heart was beating violently. He wanted to hold on, but he tripped over a few steps and fell to the ground. The gentle voice of Emperor Kangxi came to mind.

"Forehead son-in-law, although your father is seriously ill, but he is auspicious and has his own destiny, so he will be fine. When you return to Yunnan, take good care of him, maybe he will recover soon."

What?Back to Yunnan?

This time it was Wu Yingxiong's turn to be confused.

He thought he was going to be beheaded... Even if he didn't beheaded, he would be reprimanded. How can he let him go back to Yunnan now?In the end what happened?

"Brother Wu, thank you quickly!"

Shang Zhidian's voice suddenly rang in Wu Yingxiong's ear, Wu Yingxiong turned his head slightly, glanced with the corner of his eyes, and found that Shang Zhidian was standing beside him holding back a smile, his forehead was still a little swollen...

Seeing Wu Yingxiong's bewildered face, Shang Zhidian solved the mystery with good intentions, "Brother Wu, the emperor asked you to go back to Yunnan to be King Pingxi, and let me go to Guangdong to be King Pingnan!"

"What?" Wu Yingxiong was stunned again and again, and he didn't care about being in the court, so he asked directly, "Then you, Ama, your eldest brother and the others..."

"They are all loyal!" Shang Zhidian looked sad and indignant, "When the rebels attacked Guangzhou, they both died in battle and martyred their country!"

Ah, I have been loyal... Wu Yingxiong said in his heart: "The emperor's methods are brilliant! Shang Zhixin's confusion, Zhuge Sanhe's tricks, came to the emperor, and they were easily resolved! It seems that the strength of the Qing Dynasty, It's not over yet!"

Thinking of this, Wu Yingxiong hurriedly kowtowed to Kangxi three times, and said loudly: "My slave Wu Yingxiong kowtows to God!"
