Wei Xiaobao of Lu Ding Ji

Wu Sangui returned in defeat in Hengzhou City, and then received a battle report from the Western Front, and Yuezhou City fell.The rebels in Hubei Province were completely defeated by the Qing army.Can't help but can't speak anymore, just sat on the chair blankly, without any movement for a long time.

From the plan to the uprising, Wu Sangui carefully planned for more than ten years, fully expecting that with one move of the banner, the whole world would respond and send troops across the river to attack Huanglong.Now the army is defeated, but now it is not what it used to be. Even Hunan has been lost, so he has to retreat to Guizhou, Guangxi and Yunnan. It is no different from when he was a vassal.

The protracted war has consumed Wu Sanjia's strength and worn down the fighting spirit of his subordinates. There have been a lot of complaints and complaints in the army. They are all complaining about Wu Sangui.He rebelled and did not dare to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, causing his subordinates to throw away their wives and children. Apart from working hard, they could not get any benefits.

As usual, Wu Sangui would never let go of this kind of discussion in the army, ranging from eighty army sticks to beheading.But right now, he couldn't do this. Since ancient times, if he didn't kill the generals in the battle, his morale would be damaged at least, and he would be defeated countless times.What's more, the complaints of the sergeants are all true, and he has no way to argue.Having a headache.

Suddenly thinking of what Chen Yuanyuan said in the army that day, I had mixed feelings for a while.He was just fighting for his breath. Everyone has ambitions, but he is more urgent.For the current plan, he does not expect to be able to open the situation on his own.It is best not to rule over borders.

However, Kangxi refused to give Wu Sangui this chance.Kangxi conferred officials and knights on the side to inspire soldiers.Wu Sangui’s general, Wang Fuchen, surrendered. His past mistakes will not be punished. The official was reinstated, and he was still a general. Afterwards, Geng Jingzhong also surrendered, and the throne remained the same. Even Shang Zhixin waited and watched for a while, and finally surrendered. The throne remains the same Kangxi didn't know whether it was true or false about the Shenlongjiao. There was no punishment, let bygones be bygones, there was no movement in Taiwan, and the news of the death of the Tsar came out from Russia, which made the Sino-Russian border calm again.Kangxi treated almost everyone leniently, canceled all their grievances and mistakes, and ordered them to take their crimes and make meritorious deeds to serve the court.There is only one person who does not forgive, does not let, does not forgive, and does not forgive, and that is Wu Sangui.

For a time, victorious divisions from all walks of life, from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, from Gansu, Shaanxi and the Central Plains, overwhelmingly pressed on Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan.Wu Sangui, who had just sat on the Dragon Throne of the Emperor of the Great Zhou for a few days, was betrayed by all the relatives, suffered repeated defeats, and was anxious and angry. Finally, he fell ill and died in battle.

A letter of victory, riding the spring breeze, flew to Beijing, to the Forbidden City, and fell on Kangxi's imperial case one after another.Outside the gate of Qianqing and in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was joy everywhere, even the mustache that Suo'etu had just added was beaming with joy.

Kangxi sat high on the dragon chair, but he didn't feel any joy. He looked coldly at the crowd of full-faced Manchu and Han ministers, and felt that the dragon chair was getting colder and colder.As soon as he returned to the palace, he ordered someone to find the best clothes tomb and bury Xiaobao.The feng shui of that forest is unique, second only to the royal cemetery. Kangxi personally picked the place, but never stepped into it.He always had the illusion that if he didn't listen, look, or mention it, maybe that person wasn't dead yet, and the head in the coffin wasn't his little treasure.

Kangxi suddenly had some indelible resentment in his heart. He hated himself for being so sad that he was dying, but he could still handle government affairs calmly.He hated himself for being able to sit alone under the bright mirror on this high platform and listen to the boastful talks of a bunch of ministers even though his heart was ashamed.

Just like now, he should have been crazy and desperate, but he was still able to discuss the war with Suo'etu calmly.He suddenly felt that such a self was not considered a person at all, neither crying nor making noise, neither sad nor happy, but his heart was very tired, extremely exhausted, so tired that it felt as if it would burst into pain at any time.

Suo'etu was talking at the side, when suddenly he looked up and saw the young and handsome man who was sitting on a chair, his face was as pale as snow, his voice trembled almost unknown, but his eyes were so bright and sharp, as if The sick and blind patient's strange appearance--the kind of weak but abnormal look that almost seems to fall down at any time, made his heart tremble and he became more cautious.He knew that since he was eight years old, he had been taught the ruthless strategy of governing the country by the one in the palace, and he had the demeanor of an emperor.But now that he is holding on like this, anyone who looks at it can't help worrying.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager came tremblingly, surrounded by maids of honor.Without waiting for the others to speak, he shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Where's that brat Wei Xiaobao, I heard that Wu Sangui was beheaded? I don't believe it."

Suo'etu almost trembled from the stimulation of the familiar three words, and quickly knelt down when he heard the words: "See the Empress Dowager Jin'an. Thousands of years, thousands of years."

"Get up, tell me, how did Wei Xiaobao's little hoof die?" Although the Empress Dowager is over half a hundred years old, as the most powerful woman in the deep palace, she still maintains her position as the number one the greatest authority.Suo'etu was so stimulated by her flat tone that he trembled again, his heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated to make a sound.

He didn't know about this march, but he could see that since the death of Lord Wei, although Kangxi looked like an ordinary person, he couldn't hear the word "treasure".Last time, a guard didn't know the depth, and accidentally said something like "eight treasure porridge".Kangxi didn't say anything in front of people at that time, and he flipped and wrote as usual.But a few days later, Suo'etu found that the guard could no longer be found in the personal guards. He asked everyone, but no one knew his whereabouts.Immediately, his whole body became cold, and he quickly remembered the emperor's taboo in his heart.Could it be that the empress dowager is old and confused now?Why don't you open which pot and lift which pot? Isn't it clear that you want him to die?

"Lafayette, what are you asking him for? Didn't you just say that my first-class merit, Jianning's marriage envoy was beheaded by that dog thief Wu Sangui, right in front of my eyes." Suo'etu hesitated When he didn't dare to say it, Kangxi suddenly put down the painting he was drawing, glanced at the little eunuch who was serving him, and said lightly, "You dog slave, you can't even grind ink anymore? Drag it out and chop it up. "

"..." Suo'etu lay on the ground, trembling, not daring to speak, yelling in his heart that something was wrong.

"Yo, you've got a good temper just after returning to the palace." The old lady didn't even look at the little eunuch who was dragged out in the main hall, but just gave Aunt Suomala a look, and the eunuch led Suo'etu to leave.

Naturally, Kangxi knew which song was being sung, and he didn't stop it. He watched Aunt Su Mala reconcile the door of the main hall without moving.He just smiled lightly and said, "Did the old ancestor come here today just for him?" As he spoke, his heart ached.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even dare to mention his name, but just like that, his chest was already aching.

"Of course not. That girl in Jianning is the heart of your empress, and she went to Yunnan this time. Your empress also fell ill after hearing the news, and she returned home not long after. My old lady is afraid You were on the front line thinking about the affairs in the palace, so you made your own decision and buried her quietly. But when you come back now, you should let Jianning also enter the imperial tomb, and have a grand burial with her empress mother. "

Kangxi's hands stopped, and he suddenly remembered the scene of Xiaobao dying in front of his eyes that day.As if this stimulation was not enough, Wu Sangui finally jumped over the wall in a hurry, and then, the next day, Jianning was hung on a bamboo pole in the same way, and died in front of his eyes.The bright red flag dress before he died filled his mind and eyes.The brightly dressed one seemed to be revenge for his retribution for entering the palace in Hengzhou City regardless of Xiaobao's life or death.Thinking of this, his complexion seemed to be even paler, and he could hardly stand it anymore when he sat there, and finally nodded and said: "That's fine. My sister, naturally deserves a grand burial, so let her be buried with Er Niang Go." Kangxi picked up the pen and began to draw a picture on the table.

"Alright." The Empress Dowager looked at her, her eyes dimmed.

"When does the old ancestor plan to choose?" Kangxi didn't even lift his head, as if the painting had captured his entire mind.

"Is it the tenth day of next month?" The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said.

Kangxi thought for a while, then casually wiped his hands with Bai Sijuan's handkerchief, his eyes still fixed on the painting and said: "Maybe fifteen."

"Why? It's a good day on the tenth day of the lunar new year, everything is suitable, why not?"

"I set up Wei Xiaobao's clothes tomb that day, so Jianning shouldn't join in the fun."

"..." Looking at Kangxi's incomparably natural words, for some reason, this woman who had been ups and downs in the palace all her life suddenly became awe-inspiring, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in her somewhat cloudy eyes.She suddenly shouted loudly: "Xuan Ye! My good grandson! You are just a little servant, so let it die, and death is not a pity. Have you forgotten what your ancestors taught you? As a king, you have to take care of yourself." Make it a big deal and not stick to the trivial!"

Kangxi was taken aback by her voice, and his complexion seemed to turn pale again.He pursed his lips and said, "What the ancestors said is that the tenth day should be the tenth day."

The empress dowager is a shrewd person, she naturally knows the temper of her grandson, she has never been so docile like today, after hearing his answer, the old lady couldn't help but look at Kangxi. "That's settled."

"Then I will call Suo'etu to draw up the script."

"Don't worry, I'll hear how Wu Sangui died."

"Back to our ancestors, since Hengzhou was defeated, Wu Sangui knew that his end was coming, but he hadn't become emperor yet, and he refused to give up, so he hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor in Yuezhou. The palace was too late to build , painted yellow paint on the tiles; there was no court room, and a row of mat sheds was built. That day, it was sunny and sunny, but just as Wu Sangui sat on the dragon throne, suddenly a strong wind blew up and dark clouds surrounded him. Suddenly, there was thunder and lightning, and there was a torrential rain. The mat shed used as the imperial house was rolled up into the sky, and the yellow paint on the roof tiles of the main hall was washed away by the heavy rain. Wu Sangui was so frightened that he fell from the dragon seat When he fell down, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were evil, he could no longer speak, and he had a high fever for three days, and he died!"

The Empress Dowager knew that what Kangxi said was just a joke, not without exaggeration.But the empress dowager was elated when she heard it. She proclaimed the Buddha's name and said good-bye: "Amitabha, it's really a retribution! Isn't it true? The real dragon emperor of the Qing Dynasty is here. This dragon seat, except for my grandson, Who can sit still? Your Majesty, meritorious ministers should reward them with rewards and celebrate them well!"

"Yes, yes, grandma is right. The grandson has passed down the decree, and the capital and the whole country will celebrate."

The Empress Dowager laughed, and Kangxi also laughed along with her.The Qing Empire seems to have ushered in a warm spring amidst the joyful laughter.

After seeing off the Empress Dowager, the smile on Kangxi's face disappeared without a trace.He whispered: "Suo'etu."

"Hey, the slave is here."

"Kneel here."

"Whoo."

"Do you know where you went wrong today?"

"The slave knows his mistake."

"You are so courageous now that you dare to fight against the edict together with Su Mama's mother? If you say you want to beheaded, you will be beheaded. You will find out who your master is in the future!"

"... 嗻."
