"...Your Majesty, this slave is so stupid. He didn't see through the tricks of Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong. He thought they wanted the same thing as the slave, they just wanted to support the bandits in their self-respect. That's why they fell into their trap! Now! Thinking about it, they are really stupid. If they just want to support the bandits and respect themselves, and there is a jade certificate that can prove the identity of the third prince Zhu, why do they need to come up with the 'Chongzhen Edict'? Isn't this a shit basin on their own heads?"
The person who was lying on the floor of the south study room with snot and tears talking about how he was deceived by Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong was Shang Zhixin, a good slave who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty - this slave was still loyal, but he was stupid. a little!
But having said that, the little Holy Lord Kangxi, who was extremely talented, excelled in both arts and sciences, and had been a top student since he was a child, listened for a long time, but he still didn’t understand what Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong’s scheme was all about.
"Wait, stop talking..." Emperor Kangxi could no longer listen and interrupted Shang Zhixin directly. Then he looked at the ministers in the South Study Room, "Do you understand? What scheme are Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong using? It sounds to me like Yang Qilong has tricked Wu Yingxiong?"
yes! The ministers in the South Study Room all felt the same.
Wu Yingxiong was full and had a good life. If he took out the Chongzhen edict hidden at home and showed it off like this, wouldn't he be afraid that Emperor Kangxi would be furious and cut him in two?
But then everyone thought it was wrong again...Why did Wu Yingxiong let him go? Moreover, he rebelled as soon as he returned to Yunnan. Seeing that the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan all had the surname Wu, and most of Hunan and half of Guangxi also had the surname Wu!
Good guy, you can save five provinces in the blink of an eye!
Moreover, Wu Sangui chose the time for his rebellion very well, and he happened to rebel when his grandson Zhu San was showing off his power in Guangdong. Tuhai's 50,000-strong army was defeated by less than 20,000 people, and 80% of Zhu San's grandson was killed. Even the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners were blown up by thunder arrows to the point of humiliation. Guangdong was about to take the surname Zhu!
Among the 20,000 Green Camp soldiers who followed Tu Hai and Sun Sike to Guangdong to be beaten, at least half were drawn from Hunan and Shaanxi, which are adjacent to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Now these troops have been almost wiped out! Moreover, the remaining Green Camp soldiers from Hunan and Shaanxi who have not been transferred are inevitably panic-stricken. Especially the officials and soldiers of Hunan, who are about to be attacked by Prince Zhu San and Wu Sangui, may not even be able to inspire any fighting spirit...
The result is obvious. How could Wu Yingxiong be cheated by Yang Qilong? He was obviously brought back to Yunnan from Beijing by Yang Qilong's plan.
But what exactly is this plan?
Why did the Qing court so confusedly let Wu Yingxiong go?
A group of ministers who usually seemed to be very smart felt like they were trapped in a fog. No one knew what was going on.
Inside the south study room, things suddenly became a bit cold.
However, the scene did not last long before someone spoke with a Cantonese accent.
"Your Majesty, I understand a little bit."
Kangxi took a look at the man and saw that he was the seventh-rank Zhima official who came with Shang Zhixin. Since the senior officials can't explain why, let this sesame official do it.
So Kangxi ordered: "Then just tell me and listen."
"嗻."
This seventh-grade official was Huang Zhisheng, who escorted Shang Zhixin to Beijing. When Kangxi asked him to talk, he quickly knelt down to Emperor Kangxi and began to analyze randomly.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Wu Sangui and his son and Yang Qilong have deliberately set up a trap... Taking out Chongzhen's edict is just the beginning.
One of the purposes of this bureau is to let everyone in the world know that the person who started the uprising in Jieyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture, is the third prince of Zhenzhu. I am from Xinhui, Guangdong. When I was in my hometown of Dingyou, I had heard of the man named Zhu, the Heavenly King of Danan Mountain... At that time, he was just a hero in the world. There were not many heroes to join him, and it was difficult for him to become a big man. .
But once his identity as the Third Prince Zhu was revealed and confirmed, even a big pirate like Qiu Hui was willing to use it, and the pirate Prince Zheng also sent troops to help... It can be seen that the identity of this Third Prince Zhu has great appeal. No matter how old you are, there must be many heroes in the world who have sought refuge because of this status. Otherwise, how could the thief Zhu Zhu, the King of Heaven, become big quickly?
However, the Heavenly King Zhu and his son could grow so fast. Just relying on the identity of the Third Prince Zhu was not enough... I estimate that Wu Sangui must have sent his trusted warriors to help them fight and train troops! "
At this time, Shang Zhixin nodded again and again as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Yes, the old thief Wu must have sent someone to help the man named Zhu fight... And after the emperor proposed that Wu Shang change the feudal vassal, the man named Yang He is still running around Guangdong, and the admirals and generals such as Yan Ziming, Liu Jinzhong, Miao Zhixiu, and Zhang Guoxun have all been deceived by him!"
"What did he lie to?" Kangxi asked.
Shang Zhixin gritted his teeth and said: "He took Wu Sangui's autographed letter and told those people not to help me Ama suppress the third prince Zhu... This way Wu Sangui can move to Guangdong. When the time comes, he will definitely Thank you very much!”
"Can those people believe him?"
Shang Zhixin nodded and said: "Your Majesty, you have never seen that guy surnamed Yang... That guy has a good face, he looks very reliable, and he can speak, and he can speak every word." Talk about what’s in people’s hearts!”
So awesome!
Emperor Kangxi took a breath and remained silent.
Huang Zhisheng continued: "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui sent Yang Qilong to operate in Guangdong to disrupt King Nan's affairs; at the same time, he also sent warriors to help Prince Zhu San become big... So the emperor wanted to eliminate the people in Guangdong first. The traitor will temporarily stabilize Wu Ni. Old thief Wu and Yang Qilong must have calculated this accurately before they dared to take the risk and carry out this strategy!"
"It must be Yang Qilong's plan," Suo'etu gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Sangui is not that cunning! And Wu Yingxiong cannot bet his own life!"
Kangxi also nodded. Wu Sangui was indeed not that sinister, and Wu Yingxiong could not risk his own life on the emperor's wishes!
Huang Zhisheng said again: "Your Majesty, Yang Qilong's second purpose of revealing Chongzhen's edict is to clear Wu Sangui's bad name. Wu Sangui destroyed Nanming and killed Yongli, so he was regarded as a bandit by the rebels in the world, and he wanted to rebel. There will be no response from the rebels in the world, and there is no righteous name. Even if Wu Sangui comes up with this Chongzhen edict, others will not take it seriously.
But now...this Chongzhen edict has been verified by the court and has been confirmed! "
yes!
Emperor Kangxi suddenly realized that without the imperial court's endorsement, who would believe that Chongzhen's edict was true?
And now...who in the world will believe that Chongzhen's edict is not true?
Wu Sangui forged a Chongzhen posthumous edict to harm himself and Wu Yingxiong? Who would believe such a thing?
Once Chongzhen's edict is fulfilled, more than half of Wu Sangui's crime of killing Yongli will be cleared away. If Yongli is not killed, how can Prince Zhu be the emperor? As for Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others under Yongli, they are all "Western thieves"!
Chongzhen's edict stated that Wu Sangui should "exterminate the thieves and restore the Ming Dynasty." Wu Sangui was foolishly loyal to Chongzhen, but he was also loyal beyond words!
Huang Zhisheng added: "Yang Qilong's third purpose is to force him to make an immediate choice on whether to kill Wu Yingxiong... This is the cruelest thing!
Wu Sangui not only has Wu Yingxiong, he also has Wu Yingqi! If the emperor immediately killed Wu Yingxiong after Chongzhen's edict appeared, Wu Sangui would no longer have any scruples and would immediately launch an army to rebel. If the emperor doesn't kill Wu Yingxiong, then Wu Sangui will also see the emperor's trump card!
Therefore, I think this situation should have been set up by Yang Qilong himself. Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong may know a little bit, but they don't know everything.
This Yang Qilong is amazing! "
Emperor Kangxi nodded and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, this thief Yang Qilong is the best military advisor in the world! He is even more powerful than that Zhuge Yao Dao... He issued an order to arrest Yang Qilong. This thief! Whoever gets Yang Qilong’s head will be rewarded heavily by me!"
After he said this, he looked at Huang Zhisheng approvingly, "What is your origin?"
"I was a fellow Jinshi in the ninth year of Kangxi's reign!"
Kangxi nodded, "Okay! You are also a talented person, I want you to be a member of the Hanlin Academy!"
