Kangxi originally wanted to vent his anger on Geng Jingzhong, but now he learned the sad news of his death from the two brothers Geng Juzhong and Geng Jingzhong, and he really lost his mood. He doesn't even think about how to resist the attack of Wu Sangui, an old thief. For Kang Mazi now, the most dangerous thing is not the enemies Wu Sangui and Zhu San, but the loyal slaves of the Qing Dynasty who don't know the truth. Pay tribute to him in mourning!
If everyone thinks he is dead and a new emperor is introduced, then he will become a living dead person... Even if he is not really dead, there is no point in it!
Thinking of this, Kangxi was no longer in the mood to be angry with Geng Jingzhong, but he couldn't let him go and give him a happy ending, so he snorted coldly: "Geng Jingzhong, do you know your guilt?"
"This slave is guilty!" Geng Jingzhong immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed, "This slave is guilty of going crazy and deserves death!"
"Why is it sinful to be crazy?" Kangxi shouted angrily, "You want to rebel!"
Geng Jingzhong trembled when he heard this, and trembled: "It's unjust, I'm unjust...I'm just crazy."
"You...you're not crazy!" Emperor Kangxi got really angry when he heard Geng Jingzhong pretending to be crazy. In the final analysis, he blamed Geng Jingzhong for what happened this time!
If he hadn't rebelled and wanted to be emperor, Fuquan would not have gone to Jiangxi, and naturally he would not have been killed as Kangxi.
And Kangxi would not have blindly fought Wu Sangui because of a loophole in Hubei's defense line - if Tu Hai had not gone to Jiangxi with the main force of the land division and Yangtze Navy division from Hubei and Hanyang. Kangxi would not risk a decisive battle with Wu Sangui. Even if there was a decisive battle, he would mobilize more troops. At least the 30,000 elite soldiers of Wang Fuchen and Ezha would not be fooled... With these 30,000 more soldiers, the Jianyang Water War would not only be a complete victory, but also a draw. As long as Geng Jingzhong is delayed until he invades Hunan, the Qing Dynasty will still win!
So Geng Jingzhong’s crime was extremely heinous!
"Your Majesty..." Geng Jingzhong already knew that his life was hanging by a thread. If he didn't become more "precise", he would really be cut to pieces! So he quickly shouted, "Your Majesty, this slave did not rebel. This slave is really crazy. Please tell me from your Majesty!"
Kangxi said angrily: "You haven't rebelled yet? You wrote to Liu Jinzhong and asked him to arrest Kong Sizhen for you. Is this happening?"
"This..." Geng Jingzhong trembled when he heard this, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, this slave is crazy about Zhengege. This slave deserves to die! This slave, Zhengege, King Pingnan and others Wu Yingxiong once married Jin Lan in the Beijing Apple Orchard, but the slave has always been... always coveting Zhen Gege's body and wanted to take her as his own.
But the Empress Dowager wanted to give Zhen Gege as the late emperor's concubine, and Zhen Gege liked that pretty face of Sun Yanling, so she didn't even have to look at the slave. The slave became crazy because of love and wanted Liu Jinzhong to secretly kidnap Zhen Gege and give it to the slave for sexual humiliation. The slave must be really crazy to think this way..."
"You are shameless..." Kangxi shouted angrily, "You wrote in your letter to Liu Jinzhong that you asked him to rebel with you, and when you become emperor, you will make him a hereditary and irreplaceable Duke!"
"No, no!" Geng Jingzhong shouted urgently while kowtowing, "I'm wronged. How dare you write such a letter? Even if you're crazy, you can't do this!"
By the way, that must be a fake letter...it was forged by Sun Yanling and Liu Jinzhong to frame the slave! "
"You, you are talking nonsense! Why don't you dare? Do you believe it?" Kangxi asked, "Where is the letter?"
"Go back to the emperor," Geng Juzhong said immediately, "The letter is here, with Prince Yu..."
"Then Prince Yu..." Kangxi was stunned.
King Yu was captured and beheaded by Zhu Heji! That letter... was probably taken away by Zhu Heji, and it will definitely never come back.
After a while, Kangxi finally came to his senses and asked again: "Sun Yanling? Where is Sun Yanling?"
There is no physical evidence, but there are witnesses!
"Your Majesty, Sun Yanling has gone to Wu Sangui," University Scholar Mingzhu reminded Kangxi in a low voice, "You sent him to seek peace..."
Only then did Kangxi remember that he had sent Sun Yanling to sue for peace from Wu Sangui a few days ago - Kangxi certainly knew that Sun Yanling's wife Kong Sizhen was a guest at Wu Yingxiong's place. In fact, this was the route for peace sued by Empress Dowager Bumubutai.
This old lady who has lived in the palace for a long time is also familiar with the Manchu version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and she realized that the general trend of the world was probably divided into three parts after Wu Sangui started his army.
Moreover, the old lady also realized that the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu were the number one enemies of the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui could be discussed.
"Your Majesty," Geng Jingzhong immediately followed Mingzhu's words, "I am willing to wait for Sun Yanling to come back and confront him face to face. If what I say is untrue, I am willing to be executed in Lingchi!" Gu
This Geng Jingzhong is now on the verge of death, and finally has a "good" moment. He spoke very harshly, but in fact he was betting that Sun Yanling would not come back. Why come back? Wu Sangui was about to become emperor, and he had many high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Sun Yanling relied on the relationship between his wife Kong Sizhen and the eldest prince Wu, so he had no problem becoming a prince.
Moreover, Wu Yingxiong is a loyal gentleman. He will never kill Sun Yanling because of his relationship with Kong Sizhen. Instead, he will take care of Sun Yanling...
If Sun Yanling did not come back and still became a high-ranking official with Wu Sangui, wouldn't that prove that Geng Jingzhong was wronged?
Of the two people who said he rebelled, if one becomes Wu Sangui's founding hero and the other becomes Zhu San's hero for restoring the country, what does that mean?
It shows that Geng Jingzhong was wrongly accused!
Kangxi already understood what Geng Jingzhong was thinking. He looked at this Prince Geng who was sometimes "smart", sometimes "crazy" and sometimes a little stupid with a pale look on his face, and asked coldly: "So, have I still wronged you?"
"There is no injustice!" Geng Jingzhong said resolutely, "This slave is really crazy! Please punish me for being crazy and harming the country."
Going crazy and harming the country? How should this crime be punished?
Emperor Kangxi could only sigh and said to Geng Juzhong: "Geng Juzhong, since your eldest brother is crazy, you should take good care of him!"
We can only watch before talking, and Emperor Kangxi is feeling a little unsure now. Maybe Geng Jingzhong was really wronged...
Geng Jingzhong breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Kangxi again to thank him for his kindness. Geng Juzhong also kowtowed and accepted this unfortunate job.
Then Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and asked the two to leave first. As soon as these two people left, Emperor Kangxi looked at the people in the lobby with a sullen face, "Let's talk about it, what should we do?"
There was dead silence in the lobby.
I have no idea!
The news of Emperor Kangxi's death must have spread widely by now. If the world is at peace now, Emperor Kangxi only needs to return to Beijing immediately and control both inside and outside the capital, and he will have nothing to fear.
But now Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui simply don't allow him to leave the front line and return to Beijing safely... Zhu Heji will soon take Jiangxi, and the next step is to take advantage of the chaos to seize Jiangnan!
After Wu Sangui captured Huguang, he would probably take advantage of Emperor Kangxi's return to the north to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains!
By then, before Kangxi could prove himself to the loyal Qing ministers in the world, the Qing Dynasty would be almost completely lost.
If the country was gone, would Kangxi's life and death still have any meaning?
But even if Kangxi stayed in Xiangyang, if he couldn't let his subordinates know that he was still alive, his command would be ineffective.
Maybe there will be a problem of one country and two masters.
Thinking about it makes me really anxious!
When everyone was at their wits' end, they had suffered a defeat in Guangdong earlier and were dismissed from their posts and demoted. Now that they have recovered, Mi Sihan has arrived outside the lobby and loudly announced: "Minister Mi Sihan has an urgent military report to submit!
In addition, Zhou Peigong of Shihedao, Hubei Province, sent by Tuhai, the general of Jingkou in Ningnan Province, came with a secret memorial and asked the emperor for more information. "
"Xuan!" Emperor Kangxi suddenly felt a little hopeful when he heard the name of Zhou Peigong, a resourceful and good servant.
Now that the country is in crisis, he needs an adviser, because in this situation, I am afraid that there is no way to resurrect that fierce man Ao Bai. He must have a resourceful strategist to help him come up with ideas!
And now Prince Zhu Sanhe has Zhuge Sanhe, Wu Sangui has Yang Qilong, and Kangxi and Kang Mazi must also have one! How about a military advisor named Zhou? Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Peigong... That's almost enough!
