Chapter 85 3. Wu Sangui died of dysentery

The sun was shining, filling the courtyard of the palace. Sitting in the sunshine, Wu Sangui's bloated and pale face became more and more bloated and pale. His head was resting on the back of the recliner, motionless. If it weren't for his eyes still moving, no one would think that he was actually a living person . No one would have thought that Wu Sangui would come back to life!When Chen Yuanyuan heard his words that were similar to last words, everyone thought that Wu Sangui was about to die. However, he survived. Many people think that Wu Sangui was saved from death by Chen Yuanyuan with her love.And only Chen Yuanyuan knew that this was not the case!Because Wu Sangui has been communicating with her.From Wu Sangui's meaning, Chen Yuanyuan judged that the reason why Wu Sangui survived was not because of love.

Although they have to communicate in a special way every day, the content of the communication is extremely simple.Wu Sangui just asked Chen Yuanyuan the same question every day, that is, when will the emperor's grandson Shifan arrive? Chen Yuanyuan tried to change the content of the conversation and asked some other questions, but Wu Sangui's answer was ridiculous. Chen Yuanyuan asked: "Do you still remember Liaodong?" Wu Sangui said, "Where is Liaodong?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "Liaodong is in the northeast of China." Wu Sangui said, "Where is Liaodong?"

Chen Yuanyuan said, "Liaodong is where you were born!" Wu Sangui said: "No! How could I have been born in Liaodong?" Chen Yuanyuan said, "Then where did you say you were born?" Wu Sangui said: "I was born in the capital!" Chen Yuanyuan said: "You were obviously born in Liaodong! How could you be born in the capital?" Wu Sangui said: "Of course I was born in the capital!" Chen Yuanyuan asked: "How can you be sure that you were born in the capital?" Wu Sangui said: "Because that's where emperors are born!"

Chen Yuanyuan felt that this issue could not be discussed further, so he had to change the topic. Chen Yuanyuan said, "Then don't you remember Shanhaiguan?" Wu Sangui said: "I want to remember what Shanhaiguan is doing?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "Shanhai Pass is very important to you!" Wu Sangui said, "What's important?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "There are your honor, disgrace, rise and fall!" Wu Sangui said: "How can it be connected with my honor, disgrace, rise and fall?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "You were the one who brought the Qing soldiers into the pass!"

Wu Sangui said: "Who are the Qing soldiers? What does it have to do with me whether the Qing soldiers enter the pass or not?" Chen Yuanyuan felt a little strange in her heart, saying that Wu Sangui was already confused, but he just answered the questions he asked fluently.Said he was sober, and he said some inexplicable things again.Chen Yuanyuan felt that he might have lost his memory, so she communicated with him further to verify whether her judgment was correct. Chen Yuanyuan asked: "You should remember Emperor Yongli, right?" Wu Sangui said: "Who is Emperor Yongli?"

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Emperor Yongli is the last emperor of Ming Dynasty!" Wu Sangui said: "I am the emperor, how could there be another Emperor Yongli?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "Emperor Yongli was killed by you!" Wu Sangui said: "Did I kill Emperor Yongli?" Chen Yuanyuan said, "You killed it!" Wu Sangui said: "Good kill!" Chen Yuanyuan said: "How can you kill well? Since you killed Emperor Yongli, your worth has plummeted!" Wu Sangui said: "If you don't kill Emperor Yongli, how can I be emperor?" Chen Yuanyuan felt that it was impossible to discuss a problem with him to the end.Sometimes Wu Sangui remembers something, and sometimes remembers nothing!His mind is also in a state of disorder, sometimes sober, sometimes confused.Therefore, his words are sometimes logical and sometimes illogical.

Chen Yuanyuan felt that he should ask about something more closely related to him, so Chen Yuanyuan asked, "Do you remember Mrs. Zhang?" Wu Sangui said: "Who is Mrs. Zhang?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "Ms. Zhang is your first wife!" Wu Sangui asked: "What is a wife?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "Then you should remember Ginkgo!" Wu Sangui said: "Who is Ginkgo?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "She has lived with you for such a long time, how can you forget her?" Wu Sangui seemed to be caught in some kind of painful memory, and then said as if he hadn't remembered anything: "I can't remember who she is! I'm with you every day, how can I live with her?"

Chen Yuanyuan said: "She is my shadow!" After Chen Yuanyuan finished speaking, tears filled her eyes.She didn't know whether she was mourning for Ginkgo or herself. Wu Sangui said, "Did you mean Yuanyuan?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "I'm not talking about me, but Ginkgo. She is my shadow!" Wu Sangui said: "Isn't Yuanyuan's shadow Yuanyuan? Could Yuanyuan's shadow be someone else?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "You still remember me at last!" Chen Yuanyuan's tone was full of pathos. Wu Sangui asked: "Are you Yuanyuan?" After hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't laugh or cry, she asked, "You only remember Yuanyuan, but not me?"

Wu Sangui said: "Who are you? Why should I remember you?" Chen Yuanyuan said, "Then what is your relationship with Yuanyuan?" Wu Sangui said: "Yuanyuan is Yuanyuan!" Chen Yuanyuan said, "Do you like her?" Wu Sangui said: "I like it!" Chen Yuanyuan felt a little happy in her heart when she saw that his words were straightforward enough.Then ask, "How are you going to place her?" Wu Sangui asked: "What arrangement?" Chen Yuanyuan said, "Didn't you say you want Yuanyuan to become a monk?" Wu Sangui was puzzled, and asked instead: "A monk?"

Chen Yuanyuan was about to cry, and said bitterly: "Didn't you say that you want Yuanyuan to become a monk, and you want Yang Tian to take care of me?" Wu Sangui said: "Who is Yang Tian?" Seeing that he couldn't continue discussing all the issues, Chen Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and said, "You should remember Wu Shifan!" There was a hint of surprise in Wu Sangui's tone: "Is Shifan here?" Chen Yuanyuan said, "I didn't come!" There was disappointment in Wu Sangui's tone: "Why haven't you come yet?" Chen Yuanyuan asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

Wu Sangui remained silent. Chen Yuanyuan said: "You are well now, what's the hurry?" Wu Sangui said: "I want to hand over the throne to Shifan with my own hands, and tell him not to let the throne fall into the hands of others!" Chen Yuanyuan asked: "Are you so eager to become emperor because you want to pass the throne on to the Wu family?" Wu Sangui said: "Boost morale." Chen Yuanyuan asked: "How is it related to boosting morale?" Wu Sangui said: "Do you know why I retreated steadily before I became emperor?" Chen Yuanyuan said, "Why?" Wu Sangui sighed and said: "Kangxi's victory does not lie in the strength of soldiers and horses, but in the body of the monarch; the defeat of this king does not lie in the bluntness of soldiers and horses, but in the body of the ministers." Chen Yuanyuan pondered Wu Sangui's words carefully, but still couldn't get the point.Chen Yuanyuan felt that it was meaningless to discuss these issues with him, but she felt that Wu Sangui's escape from death might be due to the idea of ​​passing the throne to Wu Shifan.So she asked, "Are you waiting for Shifan?" Wu Sangui said: "If I don't hand over the throne to Shifan with my own hands, I will die with regret!" However, Wu Sangui did not wait for that day after all. In August of the same year, the weather was extremely hot. Wu Sangui suffered from dysentery, vomiting and diarrhea, his body was quickly hollowed out, and finally died of weakness. It is said that on the night of Wu Sangui's death, there was a heavy rain, the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and the ground was like an earthquake.
