Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 364 Wu Shifan, you come to be the Great Zhou Wu Adou! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Wu Yingxiong finally returned to his unreliable father, and then people changed his stinking and rotten body into imperial costumes, and even changed him into a bigger and more luxurious Nanmu Zigong!
But he can't be buried in a grand manner for the time being, because Hengyang probably won't be able to keep it for too long, and Wu Sangui has already asked people to choose a geomantic treasure in Zhongnan Mountain in the south of Chang'an as the imperial mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In addition, Wu Sangui also issued an edict to Wu Yingxiong to pursue the posthumous posthumous title of Emperor Xiaozhuang——filial piety and "pretending", which is quite appropriate.

It is customary for this son to be the emperor, and it is customary to give an emperor to Lao Tzu who has never been an emperor.However, it is a new thing for the emperor's father to give an emperor to the dead prince's son.

But now the people in Hengyang City are in a state of panic, and no one is going to argue with Wu Sangui, not to mention giving Wu Yingxiong an emperor, even if he is giving a god, no one dares to talk too much.Otherwise, this talkative person might have to "go" with Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong.

After the funeral for Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui's breath was about to die, but he still had one last unresolved concern, which was his own funeral.Although the best "successor emperor" in Wu Sangui's mind has repeatedly stated in the past two days that he wants to learn from Zhuge Liang, even if Wu Shifan is Wu Adou who cannot be supported, he will do his best to help him.However, Wu Sangui still felt that his second son was pretending to be a loyal minister. How could Wu Sangui's son be as loyal as Zhuge Liang?Wu Yingqi looked like a middle-aged Wu Sangui and his two brothers, and he couldn't be picked at first glance. How could he be Zhuge Liang?This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
So Wu Sangui is still using his only energy to arrange for his grandson Wu Shifan to run away. He has already done wrong to Wu Yingxiong, and he can no longer be sorry to Wu Yingxiong's son Wu Shifan!
Otherwise, when Wu Yingxiong saw Wu Yingxiong when he was downstairs, how could he answer the other party's question?

For this matter, Wu Sangui, who was already dying, still forced himself to write a letter to Wu Guogui who had been captured by Li Zhongshan and became the King of the West, asking him to take good care of Wu Shifan.He also secretly stuffed Wu Shifan with a few hundred taels of gold to save him some money.

He also took special care of Wu Shifan not to wait for him to control Bintian, and to leave Hengyang quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

In the end, he did not forget to leave a handwritten edict and hand it over to Fang Guangchen, a scholar of Shoufu University—the content of the edict is of course for Wu Yingqi to become emperor.

After arranging everything, Wu Sangui could finally lie quietly on the bed and wait for his own death.

The imperial doctor who came to treat him had already quietly discussed with him two days ago, his dragon body is no longer recovering, and it is only these two days for Long Yubintian.
However, after waiting in a daze for almost two days, Wu Sangui hadn't died yet, instead he became a little more energetic. He tried to open his eyes and found that the lamp was lit in his bedroom.Through a half-open window, Wu Sangui discovered that it was night.

He suddenly heard someone snoring. He turned his head to look and found that Chen Yuanyuan was lying on the edge of his bed and fell asleep. This Yuanyuan was kind and righteous, since the imperial doctor said Wu Sangui had died in the past two days , she stayed with him every step of the way, as if she wanted to see him off for the last time, but she didn't expect that the last journey would be a little slow.

Thinking of going on the road, Wu Sangui suddenly thought of Wu Shifan again. He should be leaving Hengyang City soon, right?
Wu Shifan stood quietly in the darkness, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

His current mood is very complicated, both sad and unwilling, but also a little relieved, more like having a nightmare.

He is just the concubine of Prince Pingxi's son. He has an older brother who was born on the top and two younger brothers who were born on the bottom. It was extremely difficult for him to take the seat of King Pingxi. Well, his grandfather and father suddenly rebelled, and his house in Beijing collapsed in an instant. The emperor sent people to raid the house, and the house would probably be destroyed. His elder brother was also forced to hang himself.And he was lucky to be rescued by that man, his "Brother Shikai".Then, a period of ups and downs in life that I could not even dream of before began.At one point, he had already reached the edge of the emperor's throne, and it seemed that he was almost about to sit on it.

But it's still a dream after all!
Now it's finally time to wake up from the emperor's dream!

The night wind above the pier was getting stronger and stronger, causing Wu Shifan's robe to rattle and shake.A few lanterns were undulating on the pitch-black Xiangjiang River, a large boat was slowly approaching the pier, and several of Wu Shifan's confidant guards were looking around vigilantly.After a while, I will board the boat and go north along the Xiangjiang River. When I arrive in Changsha, I will be safe.

Let Wu Yingqi clean up the mess of Da Zhou.Anyway, Wu Shifan has come to his brother-in-law Li Zhongshan, and a rich man is always indispensable.

"Grandfather, the boat is coming."

A personal guard whispered.

Wu Shifan turned his head to the direction he came from, and took a deep look into the wide-open Xiaoxiang Gate.

Gone and never come back!
Just as Wu Shifan thought of this, he suddenly heard Wu Yingqi's voice that made him most afraid come from Xiaoxiang Gate: "Grandson, nephew, where are you going?"

Flames suddenly appeared in the originally pitch-black Xiaoxiang Gate. On the tower of Xiaoxiang Gate and on the walls on both sides of the tower, there were also countless dots of flames.

Xuanwu Gate!This is the Xuanwu Gate!

Thinking of Xuanwu Gate, Wu Shifan's mind buzzed, completely shrouded in fear, and stood there like a clay puppet.

"His Royal Highness, get on board quickly."

Wu Shifan's several guards were still very loyal at this time, they all drew their waist knives and stood in front of the master, looking as if they were going to fight.

And that big boat was quite powerful, not only had it landed on the pier, but even the gangway had been put down.

After all, Wu Shifan has been on the battlefield, and now is the moment of life and death, so an uncle can't be petrified.He quickly turned around, stepped onto the diving board, and rushed to the deck of the wooden boat.As soon as he rushed to the deck, he saw the door of the cabin slam open, and then several warriors wearing cloth face armor rushed out from the cabin, surrounded by Wu Yingqi's son Wu Shicong.Next to Wu Shicong, Wu Shijue, Wu Guogui's son, stood.

Wu Shifan's face turned pale, and a pair of big eyes glared at Wu Shijue: "Third Brother (Wu Shijue is the third among cousins), you betrayed me!"

It turns out that Wu Shijuan's departure this time was arranged by Wu Shijuan for him.
Wu Shijue shook his head and said, "Grandfather, you just accept this destiny!"

Wu Shifan's eyes spewed fire, and his white and tender hands were already on the handle of the knife.

Seeing that Wu Shifan was about to draw his sword to slash people, Wu Shijue laughed: "Grandfather, don't make trouble, your three-legged cat kung fu can't beat us. Don't hurt yourself, you skinny and tender, Can't afford to hurt."

While talking, he suddenly rushed forward, pinching the wrist of Wu Shifan's hand that was about to draw the knife.Wu Shifan immediately felt as if his right wrist was clamped by an iron tongs, and it hurt for a while, and he couldn't move at all.Just about to swing another small fist to beat Wu Shijue, but the opponent made a quicker move, grabbed his left hand as well, and pulled him into the trap by the way. Wu Shifan's calf was almost the same as his arm, which tightly bound him.

Wu Shifan is a small man, he was pampered when he was young, and he has never been able to fight martial arts. Although he can go to the battlefield now, he is not the kind of macho man who wields a spear and charges into the battle. So now, Wu Shijuan, who is very skilled in martial arts, has taken him down in a face-to-face .

Wu Shifan still wanted to struggle, but Wu Shijuan had no choice but to put more strength on his two thick arms, which made Wu Shifan's bones hurt, but he still gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shouting.

Seeing his gritted teeth, Wu Shizhen could only smile wryly and said, "Grandfather, don't struggle. Go back to the palace with us obediently!"

"Going back to the palace? I. Why am I going back to the palace?" Although Wu Shifan knew that something was wrong, he still had some luck, so he gritted his teeth and said to Wu Yingqi who had already arrived at the pier, "Second Uncle, please let me go." Bar!"

When Wu Yingqi heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and said with a straight face: "Grandson, what nonsense are you talking about? You are a grandson! How could you sneak out of the palace quietly? Now the prince is lying in Zigong as a pawn. The emperor is here, and my father is looking at Longyu Bintian, you are going to run away again, who will I, Uncle Wu, who has dedicated himself to the Great Zhou and died, be the emperor?"

"What?" Wu Shifan was dumbfounded when he heard this. It turned out that Wu Yingqi's change of Xuanwu Gate was reversed not to win the throne, but to cast the blame for this hapless emperor.

But Wu Shifan still didn't give up, and wanted to confirm again: "Second uncle, you, you want me to be the emperor? Don't you know how to be the emperor yourself?"

"I am?" Wu Yingqi showed an exaggerated expression, "Grandson, are you going to put me on the fire? I am not my father's son in the genealogy, how can I be the emperor?"

Wu Shifan also remembered at this time that his grandfather Wu Sangui once adopted Wu Yingqi to Wu Sanfeng, so Wu Yingqi is theoretically Wu Sangui's nephew.

But because Wu Sanfeng and Wu Sanfeng's wife died long ago, Wu Yingqi still followed Wu Sangui.Gradually, no one mentioned this problem anymore.Later, Wu Yingqi was always the second son in Wu Sangui's camp. When Wu Sangui became emperor, he was also made a king of Qin according to the standard of canonization of sons.

It can be said that if Wu Yingqi does not recognize Wu Sanfeng as his adoptive father and only considers himself Wu Sangui's son, there is no problem at all.

But Wu Yingqi wants to be more serious now, what exactly is he trying to do?
"Grandson, you just follow!" Wu Shijue suddenly whispered in Wu Shifan's ear at this time, "My second uncle has made up his mind. Even if you accidentally die, grandson, your younger brother will be the emperor!"

Why does this sound so creepy?

What is "accidentally killed"?What does it mean?Is it to be "accidentally"?

Cold sweat broke out on Wu Shifan's forehead!
"Yes, but I don't know how to be an emperor!" Although cold sweat broke out, Wu Shifan still shook his head again and again, not daring to take it too hard to be the emperor.

The situation in Dazhou is too bad, there are a lot of internal and external troubles, and the Ming and Qing are all staring at the edge, and there is no way out. It is not easy to be a king of subjugation!

Wu Shicong smiled and said: "Grandson, you should know the third prince Zhu? Isn't he very good at being the emperor? The third prince Zhu can be a good one, you can't compare with him?"

Wu Shijue followed Wu Shicong's words and said: "Grandson, you will be the same as the third prince Zhu. You will be a republican emperor who will rule from the bottom of your hand. Let our second uncle handle military and state affairs!"

understood!

How bright is Wu Shifan's mind?It's all said for this sake, how can you still not understand?

Wu Yingqi didn't let himself be the emperor, he clearly made himself a scapegoat.The real power still belongs to Wu Yingqi, and the blame belongs to Wu Shifan. If the country is subjugated in the future, the king of subjugation will still be him.If Dazhou got lucky and the situation stabilized, and he couldn't die for a while, then Wu Yingqi might usurp the throne.

However, Wu Shifan was afraid that he would die if he was "accidentally", so he didn't dare to refuse Wu Yingqi, so he had to think for a while and asked, "Second uncle, do you want to be the emperor's uncle and regent of Da Zhou?"

Wu Yingqi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Isn't the emperor's uncle Dorgon the regent? I don't want to learn from Dorgon. I admire Zhuge Wuhou the most in my life, or I will be a prime minister, Lu Shangshushi, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Kai Let the government, the holiday, and the governor supervise all Chinese and foreign military forces!"

"Okay!" Wu Shifan breathed a sigh of relief. Since Wu Yingqi wanted to be Zhuge Liang of the Great Zhou, he wouldn't be able to harm Wu Adou of the Great Zhou, right?

He nodded: "Then uncle will be Zhuge Liang of the Great Zhou, and my nephew will be Wu Adou of the Great Zhou!"

Wu Yingqi was satisfied now, and immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Welcome the grandson of the emperor back to the palace!"

Immediately, countless people followed him and shouted: "Welcome the grandson of the emperor back to the palace!"

"Welcome the emperor's grandson back to the palace"

Wu Sangui's condition suddenly became serious, his breathing gradually became short of breath, and his vitality seemed to be completely exhausted, but at this moment, he vaguely heard someone shouting "the grandson of the emperor returns to the palace".

Didn't the grandson of the emperor run away?Why are you back again?He couldn't speak at this time, but he still managed to hum twice.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was standing by his side, wiped away tears and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Shifan is here. He is still filial and cannot let you go!"

Wu Sangui was suddenly agitated, and his humming voice increased.

At this time, the door of Wu Sangui's bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and with a gust of cool wind, Wu Yingqi's loud voice was heard: "Father, Father, who do you think the son brought to you? Grandson, hurry up, hurry up!" Come and meet your grandpa for the last time!"

Is Wu Shifan really back?

"Grandpa, grandson, grandson is useless"

Wu Sangui heard Wu Shifan's voice again. He exhausted his last strength and turned to look at Wu Yingqi and Wu Shifan.

Wu Yingqi said: "Father, you can leave at ease. The minister will definitely assist the emperor and grandson."

Wu Sangui was finally relieved (maybe even more worried), and fell into a drowsy sleep again, and finally spit out a few human words: "The emperor, the emperor, the minister, the minister really didn't expect Chuangni to break in."

His words came to an abrupt end here!
Chen Yuanyuan touched Wu Sangui's nose with trembling hands, and after a while, she said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is out of breath, and passed away! Woohoo."

In Changsha, the general walks away.

Li Zhongshan, who was waiting for the news of Wu Sangui's death, had a good time during these ten days.In early October, his wife Wu Xiaotu, who had been separated from him for three or four years, finally arrived in Changsha City with her children under the escort of Model Third Town.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a new marriage. After three or four years of separation, this marriage is really "too new".

And Wu Xiaotu, who was reunited with her husband, was of course in a great mood. Besides being able to spend time with Li Zhongshan day and night, her father Wu Guogui is now in Changsha, and he has also won the Wu family's shares in Daming.Li Zhongshan, Li Fuchen, and Li Laishun, the three kings of the Ming Dynasty, have jointly signed a petition, requesting the emperor of the Republic to grant Wu Guogui the successor of the Western King.

Considering the actual status of Li Zhongshan, Li Fuchen, and Li Laishun in the republic of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong would definitely approve their joint petition, so Wu Guogui's political discussion of the Western King is stable.

Wu Guogui's prince is stable, and Wu Xiaotu's position in the family is also stable.Even if Yang Dongwang returns in the future, Yang Xiaohuan can't help him.As for Wu Xiaojiao, she is probably shedding tears these days, right?

Thinking of Xiaojiao, Wu Xiaotu, who was having lunch with Li Zhongshan, sighed softly, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Li Zhongshan, who was tasting a plate of Nanjing Dried Chili Chicken (can no longer be called Kung Pao Chicken) with a smile: " Husband, is this plate of diced chicken delicious? Why are you staring at this dish?"

Li Zhongshan said with a smile: "This dish is not easy to come by. After my husband gained a firm foothold in Nanjing, he began to look for edible peppers, and looked for suitable land in Nanjing for trial planting. He also found the best sauce garden in Nanjing. , and asked them to help brew the chili sauce. Now I can finally eat this plate of fried chicken with dried chilies! Xiaotu, you should try it too, it’s delicious.”

Wu Xiaotu just shook her head, she wasn't interested in the stir-fried chili that made her mouth hurt.

"Husband," Xiao Tu looked at Li Zhongshan, "Xiao Tu is the most obedient, why don't you bring her to Changsha and let her eat spicy food with you!"

Hearing his wife's words, Li Zhongshan nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter later. Xiaojiao's elder brother will arrive in Changsha in two days, and they will be reunited as siblings."

As soon as he said this, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then there was a bang, and the hall door was knocked open.Li Zhongshan and Wu Xiaotu looked back and saw Wu Guogui in hemp and mourning.

"Old Mount Tai, the Great Zhou Emperor has passed away?" Li Zhongshan immediately understood - because of his own efforts, Wu Sangui probably lost one or two years of life
Wu Guogui nodded, he didn't look too sad, but a little surprised, "My father Huanglong controls Bintian, leaving a mess for Wu Shifan!"

"To whom?" Li Zhongshan was taken aback.

Wu Guogui said: "The throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty was given to Wu Shifan, and the grandson of the Great Zhou Emperor has already ascended the throne in Hengyang, with the reign name Honghua!"
