Chapter 39 The thirty-ninth chapter, only the hero's heart embraces the wisdom of real celebrities in the world from ancient to modern

The deputy imperial envoys Zha and Samuha, who were ordered to go to Yunnan to issue an order, brought back the news that Wu Sangui had rebelled and Zhe Erken and others had been killed, and Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but be filled with anger.He ordered people to help the two ministers who had suffered so much to go down to rest, and then asked Xiong Cilu, "Xiong Cilu, I want to take advantage of today's victory to get rid of Zhong Sanlang Xiangtang, and wish the victory in the military parade at the Meridian Gate. Look Does it fit?" Xiong Cilu bowed and replied: "The Holy Majesty's move is very appropriate. After Yang Qilong is pacified, he should celebrate victory in the capital. The emperor will come to the Meridian Gate for a military parade in person, and he will surely amplify Chen's military power and inspire the people. It will also show that the imperial court and the San Francisco A vow of inconsistency."

"Yeah, okay. Zhou Peigong, Wu Yingxiong and Zhou Quanbin on Gulou West Street, were you the ones who took people to ransack their homes?" "Returning to the Holy Master, it's the servant's job." "Are there many things copied?" "Master, a lot of documents were copied from the home of the two rebel officials, some of which were letters from the officials who had an affair with the rebellious party. Because the minister and Tuhai didn't have a special order, they didn't dare to open it without authorization, so they sealed it. Hand it over to Dali Temple."

"Okay. You go to pass the decree. At noon today, I will have a military parade at the Meridian Gate. I will order the imperial guards in the capital, the Ministry of War, the patrol yamen and Shanpu to prepare quickly." "Zha! Long live, I believe that officials of the DPRK and China who associate with rebellious parties have constituted a serious crime of treason, and they should be punished together with Wu Yingxiong to affirm Gangji." Xiong Cilu said: "Yes, yes, long live, what Pei Gong said is consistent with what the slave thinks. For rebellious people, not paying attention to them is not enough to enforce the law, and not killing them is not enough to strengthen the army. Please make a clear judgment. The minister thinks, today At noon, Long Live combined the two tasks of military parade and killing rebels, which will have the power to deter the world..."

"Oh... what you said makes sense, but the situation has changed now, and the method has to be changed. How about this, Zhou Peigong, you go and send an order to escort Wu Yingxiong to the Meridian Gate. In addition, carry all the copied documents to the In front of the Meridian Gate, after hearing this, I will send it out myself." "tie!" "Xiong Cilu, the case of Yang Qilong must be cleared up quickly. If you can not be implicated, try not to get involved. In addition, you draw up a decree for me. Fujian and Guangdong will not withdraw for the time being, and order them to lead their troops to attack. Wu Sangui. It must be written in a tactful and thorough manner without showing weakness."

"The minister understands what the master means, and the priority is to attack the heart." "Yes, that's it, you can write here." At noon, Kangxi was about to change clothes and start driving, but saw Zhang Wanqiang running in.He didn't have time to salute, so he said loudly: "Long live, Lafayette called the servants to pass the message. If Long live can get out of his body, please go to the back and have a look!" "Well, what's the matter?" "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, she has a difficult delivery..." "Ah!" Kangxi fell down on the dragon chair all of a sudden, feeling tired and soft all of a sudden.Xiong Cilu and Zhou Peigong were also shocked.They all knew in their hearts that the queen's fetal gas was aroused because of fright, fatigue and poor recuperation.Just as he was about to step forward to comfort him, he saw Kangxi stomping his feet and saying, "Zhang Wanqiang, what are you doing kneeling? Don't you hurry up and pass on the medical certificate of the Taitu Academy? — Ask Suo'etu to prepare to go in and visit!"

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to follow Zhang Wanqiang back to the harem.At this moment, He Guizhu ran in: "Long live Qi Zuo, noon is approaching, all the troops are gathering under the Meridian Gate, please drive the emperor—" Kangxi was stunned there.He pondered for a long time before suppressing the grief and anxiety in his heart, and ordered loudly: "Decree: Prince Kang Jieshu, Prince Jian Labu, Prince An Yuedong, lead all the kings in Beijing, Baylor, Earl and above relatives, and six ministers, nine ministers, ministers and above officials are waiting for the order beside the Meridian Gate. Set off Wufenglou!"

Ninety-five dragon flags were hoisted on the Meridian Gate at the same time, and Kangxi calmly climbed up the stairs.Zhang Wanqiang, who came again from Chuxiu Palace, had something to report. Seeing the courtiers kneeling in a large area, dancing and worshiping, shouting long live, he opened his mouth and swallowed it back.Kangxi knew from his face that the empress was in danger, but he didn't ask any questions, he just gritted his teeth and came to the battlements. How could the 3,000 selected Iron Armored Imperial Forest Army below know the emperor's state of mind at the moment, when they saw Kangxi poised to lean out from the gate, they shouted like a tsunami: "Long live, long live!" , the strong wind rolled up the billowing yellow dust, the dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and the sound of hunting.The infantry and cavalry followed the red flag in Tu Hai's hand to advance and retreat according to their directions.

Looking at this neat, unified, majestic and majestic team, the melancholy and gloom in Kangxi's chest were swept away.Under the winter sun, his face swelled crimson, and he said to the ministers behind him: "Qin Shihuang uses the Great Wall as a shield, and I use the world's subjects as a shield. The Great Wall of bricks and stones is now in ruins, but thousands of people are still the same. Pearl, Go down and ask Wu Yingxiong, what else can you say about today's execution?" "Tie!" Mingzhu agreed, lifted up her robe and walked down the gate, ordering to suspend the performance.Seeing that Wu Yingxiong was tied to a wooden stake in the northeast corner of the school yard, he stepped forward and asked, "Wu Yingxiong, what do you have to say about today's execution?"

Wu Yingxiong knew very well in his heart that in today's situation, he would undoubtedly die, and it was useless to beg and cry, so he lowered his head and said, "It's human nature to suffer on behalf of the father, and I have no regrets. But please tell Master Ming Your Majesty, if you kill me today, my father will have nothing to worry about and can concentrate on using the army. Besides, not all the civil and military officials in the court are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, so it is better for him to be cautious." Mingzhu returned to the Wufeng Building and played Wu Yingxiong's words. Kangxi smiled disdainfully: "Hmph! It's nice to say that you are filial to your father. In fact, you don't want me to pardon him. Go, take those papers and letters, and carry them away." Before Wu Yingxiong, burn them all!"

A lot of boxes and cages were set on fire, and what was inside were all the correspondence between the court officials and the two rebels.Those who sent secret messages, those who flirted with others, and those who sold their bodies to seek refuge, are all burned now. That is to say, Kangxi will not pursue anyone other than Wu Yingxiong and Zhou Quanbin.Among the hundreds of officials at the Meridian Gate, some were grateful but did not dare to speak out; some were convinced and secretly praised.Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes with different emotions looked up at Emperor Kangxi on the tower.But he waved his hand back and said: "Pass the decree, kill this rebellious minister Wu Yingxiong!"

As soon as the military parade at the Meridian Gate was over, Kangxi hurried down the tower, wanted to pass an imperial horse to ride on, and galloped towards Chuxiu Palace.Fearing that the emperor would summon him for important matters, several ministers hurriedly followed behind and waited outside Chuxiu Palace. There were a lot of people in Chuxiu Palace. Except for the Empress Dowager, there were concubines with high status in the palace, and all the nobles came.Kangxi rushed in, and heard the Empress Dowager recite the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, the emperor has finally arrived. The child has been born and looks very rich, but the adults are not good. Go in and have a look." Kangxi agreed and walked into the room. Hershey has passed out.She lay quietly on the big kang, her face was very pale, even her lips were bloodless.A wet nurse was kneeling aside holding the second son of the emperor, who was in infant, and the heads of several imperial doctors were covered with beads of sweat.One is cutting the pulse, and the other two are busy with needles.The court lady Mo Ju struggled to hold the medicine jar because of her leg injury, and looked at the queen with teary eyes. The queen is the granddaughter of the assistant king Soni and the daughter of Soetu.Back then, when Kangxi was studying in Suofu with Wu Ciyou, he often saw her.The rules of the Manchus are not as strict as those of the Han people. Besides, although they were divided into monarchs and ministers at that time, they were still children, childhood sweethearts, and they often played together.Later, she was selected into the palace and became the empress. She worked hard day and night to help Kangxi manage the six palaces, and now she watched the empress dying.With a breath, Kangxi couldn't help but burst into tears.He leaned down and said with a weeping voice, "Queen, wake up, I'm here to see you..." Hershey's eyes suddenly opened, they were still so bright and so innocent.She searched for a long time, only to see Kangxi standing in front of the couch looking at her.Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.Kangxi hurriedly turned her face to listen, but she didn't hear anything, only two lines of clear tears flowed silently from her cheeks. "How are you doing?" The queen didn't answer. Kangxi was on fire for a while, and cried out in pain: "Queen - blame me for being late, for being late - step! You and I are a loving husband and wife, and we have childhood sweethearts. What do you have to say? What's the matter?" , just say it—you say it!" He couldn't control himself completely, and wept loudly, beating his chest and feet. The imperial doctor who felt the pulse said with a mournful face: "Long live! Your mother is full of phlegm, I can no longer..." The Empress Dowager was listening outside, and hurriedly stepped in. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She held the Queen's hand and said, "Good boy, don't worry, close your eyes and rest in peace..." When Kangxi saw Hesheli, she still refused to close her eyes. She expected that she must have something on her mind, so she came out with heavy steps, and said to Suo'etu: "I'm afraid it's not...it can't be done, I just can't hold my breath. This... this I really suffer, so come in and pay your respects. Zhou Peigong, since you have come, come in too!" The queen's eyeballs could no longer move, she just stared at the roof, holding her breath and refusing to close her eyes.Suo'etu called her by her nickname in a soft voice: "Xiu'er, everything is fine at home, and the emperor has personally bestowed on you a house, and your cousins ​​are all very successful. Madam, you...you can go at ease." "Your Majesty, the servant is the bright pearl!" Mingzhu cried, "As the lord of the Sixth Palace, Your Majesty is virtuous and virtuous. Long Live loves Your Majesty very much, and she must be honored after her death..." Jie Shu also kowtowed and cried: "Mother, you are suffering so much and feel uneasy, can Lord Long live not feel sad? Just go, everything is up to Long live!" He was so choked up that he couldn't even speak clearly. Seeing that Hesheli was still dumbstruck, and Kangxi was in pain, anxious and sad, he cried and reprimanded the imperial physician: "You trash, idiots, who talk loudly on weekdays and eat my salary, are you just going to do your job like this? You and I use medicine, treat him quickly!" The group of imperial physicians turned pale with fright when they heard his anger, and just bowed their heads and apologized. "I know your empress' thoughts!" Zhou Peigong straightened up suddenly and said, "It must be because of the prince's affairs, so I can't rest assured." As soon as his voice fell, the empress's dull eyes suddenly lit up again, staring even wider. big.Kangxi suddenly realized, he quickly glanced at the Empress Dowager, and seeing that Lafayette had no objection, he ordered loudly: "Xuan Xiongcilu enters the palace." Xiongcidian was already waiting on the sidelines, and hurriedly agreed: "The slave listens respectfully to the emperor. Order!" "This son was born of Queen Hesheli, and I named him Yinchu. According to the family law of the Manchu ancestors, there was no crown prince. At this critical time, in order to strengthen the foundation of the country and stabilize the hearts of the people, I am determined to establish a crown prince and establish a crown prince. The second son of the emperor Yinchu is the crown prince! Xiong Cilu has a good character and pure academics. He was once relied on by the late emperor, and I also trust him very much. After Xiong Cilu entered the prince's Taibao, he became the prince's master. He tutored him day and night and lived up to his promise My high hopes and the love of the queen..." Before Kangxi could finish his speech, Hershey's body moved slightly, let out a breath, lowered his eyes, and passed away suddenly. Kangxi looked at the empress's face affectionately, wiped his tears and said, "Emperor Empress Dou Jianzhi, I will never regret it! Reward Zhou Peigong with a hundred taels of gold, you all... kneel down!" A raging war started from Mount Wuhua, stretched to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east, connected Sichuan and Guizhou to the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia in the west.In the place where the flames of war spread, smoke and dust billowed, blood flowed into canals, the countryside was abandoned, and all businesses withered, and the stalemate of the war was in Hengzhou and Yuezhou in Hunan. This war has been fought for more than two years, and the current situation is as follows: Shang Zhixin from Guangdong, because he and Sun Yanling had different ambitions and was restrained by Fu Honglie, had to stick to his old nest and dare not act rashly; Geng Jingzhong from Fujian, Although it reached Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the East Route Army led by Prince Kang Jieshu cut off the grain roads, and the generals under his command surrendered one after another.Jieshu led his troops in hot pursuit and captured Wenzhou Zhanju Xianluling. Geng Jingzhong had no choice but to surrender anyway.After the East Road was pacified, Jieshu marched westward, joined forces with Prince An Yue Le, and besieged Anxing, Yuezhou.Kangxi also ordered people to transport the newly built twenty red cannons to the front line.Wu Sangui panicked, and transferred all his main force to the Heng and Yue areas. More than 160,000 horses from both sides gathered here, posing for a decisive battle.For a while, no one could do anything to anyone, and the battle situation was stalemate. In order to get out of the predicament, Wu Sangui sent his grandson Wu Shicong to Guangdong to urge Shang Zhixin to send reinforcements, but as soon as Wu Shicong left, he disappeared like a yellow crane and never looked back.Wu Sangui was angry and impatient, so he had to send Wang Shirong to Guangdong to investigate. In the past two years, Wang Shirong ran around without a moment of peace.He thinks very highly of himself, and thinks he is a young Zhang Liang who is capable of running the city and the land, but Wu Sangui only uses him as a messenger and never entrusts him with important responsibilities.That Xia Guoxiang was Wu Sangui's number one adviser. He appreciated Wang Shirong's talent very much and often praised him in person, but he never recommended him in front of Wu Sangui.Up to now, Wang Shirong is over 40 years old, and he still has nothing to do, and he is always on the go.His already tired body, exhausted with breath, actually suffered from tuberculosis, and became pitifully thinner. In the evening of that day, Wang Shirong came to Wuyang City full of travel and travel, and found the Baiyun Mountain post where the king and grandson Wu Shicong stayed.Everyone at the door knew this counselor, and when they saw him coming, they hurried forward to greet him: "Uncle Wang has worked hard all the way, how are you?" "Okay, okay, thank you all. Please inform King Shicong that I, Wang Shirong, come from the old prince and I have something to see." "Uncle Wang, look at you in a hurry, what are you busy with. Although the county king is here in name, it's rare to see him once every ten days or eight days!" "Huh? Why?" "Cough! What's all the fuss about. Guangdong Huahua World, restaurants, flower markets, singers, and many beauties! Can the county king come over?" Wang Shirong came from the front, where the soldiers were starving and fighting to the death, but the prince However, the grandsons of his family took advantage of the opportunity of dispatching troops to spend their days and nights here.Alas, if this battle is undefeated, it will be considered a ghost! That night, Wang Shirong ate a few cups of stuffy wine alone in the posthouse, lying restlessly on the bed, stroking Yu Xiao, who was always in his hand.This flute was given to him by his sister-in-law.At that time, he had made an oath to his sister-in-law that after a hundred years, even though they would not be able to share the same cave after death, he would cut the jade Xiao in two and bury them in two tombs.But that night a fire broke out, and the sick old father and the whole family were killed in the sea of ​​flames.Twenty years have passed, and I am alone, wandering all over the world. Although I have Yu Xiao as my companion, where is my destination?After thinking about it, Wang Shirong tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply turned over and sat on the head of the bed, lifted Yu Xiao up, and blew on it whimperingly. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the window: "Good tune, brother Shirong, what's the matter?
