Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

And Huang Zhisheng, the seventh-rank sesame official who escorted the prisoners, was shivering from the cold, his nose was red from the cold, and his beard was covered with ice slag.And he was stopped at the gate of the city by Mr. Qian, who was guarding the gate.

"What's going on here? What kind of car is this? What is it carrying?"

In this era, there was no such officer as the admiral of the Nine Gates. The soldiers guarding the gates of Beijing were all under the control of the Ministry of War. Each gate had a "gate officer", called the city gate chief, who was a member of the Eight Banners who was equally high and low in Beijing.

"President Qian," Huang Zhisheng didn't dare to offend the disciples of the Eight Banners in Beijing, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "I was ordered to escort Shang Zhixin, the son of Prince Pingnan, to Beijing."

"Oh, it's my father!" The Eight Banners boy looked quite old and looked about 30 years old. He probably had seen Shang Zhixin's good looks back then, so he hurriedly put on a respectful expression, "Then I Have a look!"

Then look!

Huang Zhisheng hurriedly asked the driver of the cart to open the cotton curtain, and displayed in front of this Eight Banners boy a letter from Ida Gongshang who was locked in a cage and gnawed sugar on fire.When the Eight Banners saw Shang Zhixin, they immediately gave a thousand salutes: "The humble Cao Dongting sees me Da Gong!"

Shang Zhixin's crime is so serious that no one can save him. Even his brother Geng Jingzhong, who swore with him in the apple orchard, just built a luxurious prison car for him, and sent his confidant guards to escort Shang Zhixin with Huang Zhisheng Just entering Beijing...

What I Dagong, what Prince Pingnan's son, to Shang Zhixin, those are very distant things.

"Brother Cao," Shang Zhixin sighed, and looked at the door officer who saluted him, "I'm no longer my father...I'm a sinner, a prisoner!"

This attitude of pleading guilty is still very good!It's a pity that the door officer was a little ignorant, so he still asked questions there.

"I don't know what crime you have committed?"

"I..." Shang Zhixin burst into tears when he thought of this.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, the official quickly explained: "I Dagong, I was ordered to guard the city by my humble duty, and my duty is... If you enter the city as I Dagong, I naturally dare not ask more questions. But you have to commit crimes If you enter the city as an official, you have to ask about the humble position."

During this period of time, because of Wu Sangui's rebellion, the outspoken Chahar King Burni was also ready to move, and Zhu Heqi used a "human head box bomb to kill Shang Zhidian", so the security in Beijing was heavily guarded.

The city gate chiefs of all the city gates have been ordered to strictly interrogate suspicious people!

And Shang Zhixin did not sit in a good carriage or sedan chair, but came to Beijing in a prison car, which looked suspicious!

Seeing his respectful attitude, Shang Zhixin felt warm in his heart, so he naturally didn't embarrass him, and sighed: "To be honest, I slandered Prince Pingxi's son for colluding with the third prince Zhu to rebel..."

"What?" The door officer surnamed Cao was stunned and stunned, with a puzzled expression on his face, and it took him a long time to realize, "Oh, your crime... I'm afraid the Shangfang Court of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not dare to accept it!"

Shangfangyuan was later the Department of Punishment, with the Three Banners punishment name in its palm.Although Shang Zhixin is not a member of Shang Sanqi, he can enjoy this treatment.

"If the Shangfangyuan doesn't accept it, then go to the Ministry of Punishment!" Shang Zhixin sighed, and said in his heart: "I have committed too many crimes, so I probably don't have the qualifications to go to the Shangfangyuan with better conditions to be imprisoned."

"The Ministry of Punishment can't accept you either."

"The Ministry of Punishment doesn't accept it either?" Shang Zhixin became anxious when he heard it, "Why?"

Yeah, why is there no place to go to jail?Do you want to beheaded directly?

"Why didn't you accept it?" Huang Zhisheng was also anxious, so why didn't he accept people who were sent from a long way away?

"The emperor gave it to me!" Huang Zhisheng asked, "Why doesn't the Shangfang Court accept it?"

"You can't accept what the emperor asks you to send." The official shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Because Wu Sangui rebelled last month and responded to the third prince Zhu... My father, you exposed their father and son to rebel early in the morning. This can't be considered a crime, can it?"

yes!Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong really colluded with the third prince Zhu to rebel, how could the person who exposed their rebellion be guilty?

How do you ask the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to try this case?

The law of the Qing Dynasty did not expose the crime of anti-thief!

"This, is this true?" Huang Zhisheng was also taken aback, "When did you hear the news?"

"It was circulated last month," the official said, "but it will be announced in a few days."

Huang Zhisheng looked back at Shang Zhixin in the cage, "I Da Gong...how about you come out and ride a horse instead?"

"That's fine, then where do you go after entering the city?" Shang Zhixin asked.

"Go, why don't you go to the Forbidden City first and ask?" Huang Zhisheng didn't pay attention either, but he didn't dare to let Shang Zhixin go just like that... He was ordered to deliver "human goods", so he must be delivered That's right!

"Okay then," Shang Zhixin thought the suggestion was good, "then go to the Supreme Harmony Gate and ask."

……

Forbidden City, South Study Room.

At this time, Emperor Kangxi had forgotten when he ordered Shang Zhixin to be escorted to Beijing, because there were too many big news during this period, and they were all bad news, and each one was worse than the other!

First, Wu Sangui and his henchmen blocked Yunnan and Guizhou, cutting off all contact with the imperial court, and then entered and exited Qutang Pass, Lishu Pass, Zhuyu Pass, Micang Pass, Haoba Pass, Qipan Pass, Chaotian Pass, and Baishui Pass. Waiting for the important pass to be blocked by the local Qing soldiers in Sichuan... Although the memorial of Sichuan governor Luo Sen was sent out before these passes were blocked, it said that everything is under control, please rest assured.

But no matter how you look at the situation, you can't rest assured!

However, the worst news came from Guangdong. Tuhai and Shi Lang commanded more than [-] land and water troops who suffered disastrous defeats in Guicheng and Qingqi in Zhaoqing Prefecture. In the end, only [-] people escaped from Suijiang... ...it's not over yet!After the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong was completely lost, the rebels began to sweep the fallen leaves with the autumn wind.First, the entire territory of Zhaoqing Mansion and Luoding Prefecture fell!Then Qingyuan, Conghua, and Longmen counties in Guangfu were bloodlessly occupied by rebel soldiers.Immediately afterwards, Huizhou Prefecture and Shaozhou Prefecture were in emergency again and again, and the counties they belonged to were lost one after another.Almost every day, urgent reports of lost sites are sent from Guangdong!

As for the Gao, Lei, and Qiong mansions in Guangdong, they simply cut off the news, and no one knows if they are lost?

At present, it can be confirmed that the Guangdong prefectures that have not yet entered the army of rebels are only Nanxiong Mansion in the north of Guangdong and Lianzhou Mansion in the west of Guangdong... However, Guangxi, which has Lianzhou Mansion sandwiched between three breads, is in big trouble!Because the main force of the Qing army in Guangxi had all gone to Guangdong before, and they were under the command of General Tu Hai, the general of Jingkou in Ningnan. They were defeated in Zhaoqing together, and ran all the way to Shaozhou.

At the same time, Zu Zeqing, the general soldier of Guangdong Gaolei, led an army of [-] to take advantage of the situation, and took control of the four prefectures of Wuzhou, Pingle, Guilin, and Liuzhou in northern and eastern Guangxi at once!And Guo Yi, Wu Sangui's old subordinate Guangxi Zuojiang General Soldier, took control of Nanning, Taiping, and Xunzhou in one fell swoop... The two of them almost divided up Guangxi!

Chapter 238 So Loyal!

"Zu Zeqing gave me a book again!"

Emperor Kangxi picked up the secret book that Zu Zeqing had just sent to Beijing with a helpless face, and said to a group of ministers in the South Study Room: "He said in the book that although he fled without a fight in Guangdong, after arriving in Guangxi He also robbed the Fanzhuang Banner of Princess Dingnan's Mansion, and took over the Guangxi Governor's Yamen, Guangxi Admiral's Yamen, Dingnan General's Mansion and other important yamen... He also sent troops to occupy Cangwu, the prefectural city of Wuzhou, Pingle, the prefectural city of Pingle, and Linlin, the prefectural city of Guilin. Ma Ping, the prefecture of Guizhou and Liuzhou, even sent troops to blockade Huangsha Pass and Longhu Pass, the key passes between Hunan and Guangxi. But he is still loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he is still my loyal slave!

He also said that now the general in Guangxi is gone, the admiral is gone, and the whereabouts of the governor are unknown... So he wants to be a general guarding Guangxi, and guarding a piece of Guangxi for me and Qing Dynasty!You all think, is this Zu Zeqing a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty? "

How could this Zu Zeqing be so shameless?

The ministers in the south study were all shocked by Emperor Kangxi's words!

This guy has seized four prefectural cities, expelled the governors of Guangxi, Fantai, Jintai, and Xuetai, and also expelled all the people who stayed in Guilin and Liuzhou in Dingnan General's Mansion and Guangxi Admiral Ma Xiong!Things have come to this point, how can there still be a face to show loyalty to the emperor and ask for the title of Guangxi General?

"Your Majesty, my servant Suo'etu thinks that Zu Zeqing is still a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty!"

Tuhai is not there, and Jin Batai, the No. [-] scholar of the Hall of Central Harmony, is a Han army flag.Therefore, Suo'etu, the great scholar of Baohedian, became the top card among the great scholars. Of course, he had a great say in the issue of Zu Zeqing's loyalty and infidelity.

And he also understood Emperor Kangxi's thoughts, so when Kangxi's question was raised, he was the first to come out and set the tone.

"He is like this, can he be considered a loyal minister?" Emperor Kangxi seemed to disapprove of Suo'etu's opinion, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes slid to Nalan Mingzhu who had just been transferred to the Ministry of War.

But before Mingzhu got out of class and knelt down, Suo'etu followed up on Kangxi's question and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that with the relationship between Zu Zeqing and Wu Ni, I can hold a position of supporting the army and dealing with it on three sides. As far as I am in the Qing Dynasty, I am considered a loyal minister. Moreover, Wu Ni's army is about to leave Yunnan and Guizhou and enter Hunan... The contact between the imperial court and Guangxi may be interrupted at any time. If the imperial court does not give Zu Zeqing the title of General of Guangxi , When the Baoqing Mansion and Yongzhou Mansion in Hunan are occupied by Wu Ni, the imperial court will not be able to seal the ancestor Zeqing even if they want to."

Emperor Kangxi snorted: "If the Guangxi general who co-authored me didn't give it up sooner, he would have smashed it in his hand?"

Suo'etu said: "The emperor's sage...isn't the imperial court setting up a half-fan in Guangxi just to win over the old Dingfan tribe? Isn't the reason to win over the old Dingfan tribe so that they can contain Wu Ni from the sidelines and at the same time isolate King Pingxi and Pingxi Wang from the sidelines?" Is there a connection between the Southern King and the two vassals?

Although the Pingfan in Guangdong is almost gone, if the false third prince Zhu and Wu Ni work together, the harm will be even greater, so it is good to have Zu Zeqing intervening in Guangxi to block Wu Ni. "

Emperor Kangxi asked: "With his ancestor Zeqing in Guangxi, will Wu Ni and the false Third Prince Zhu disagree?"

Suo'etu laughed and said: "Of course...Since ancient times, Guangdong and Guangxi have been one, if the false third prince Zhu won Guangdong, and the road to the north and east was blocked by Wu Ni and King Jingnan, then the false third prince Zhu must be It will develop in Guangxi. And Zu Zeqing is Wu Ni’s cousin. Once he is forced by the false prince Zhu, he will definitely turn to Wu Ni. Compared with Feng Ting!"

Feng Ting was the governor of Shangdang County who was unwilling to cede land to Qin State, but pulled Shangdang County to join Zhao State.Because he raised the party to vote for Zhao, which triggered the Battle of Changping. Although Zhao was defeated, Qin also suffered a lot.What Feng Ting did should have the effect of delaying the demise of South Korea.For South Korea, of course it is a loyal minister.

Kangxi nodded slightly, and said in his heart: "This is reasonable. But... how much money did you Suo'etu take from the ancestor's family?"

"Mingzhu, what do you think?" Kangxi did not make a decision right away, but asked for Mingzhu's opinion.

"Your Majesty," Mingzhu immediately got out of work and knelt down, "this slave thinks that the settlement can be left to the queen of autumn, and whether Zu Zeqing is loyal or rebellious can be judged after the imperial court wipes out Wu Ni and the fake third prince Zhu... Right now, it is better to grant his request first and give him a chance to make meritorious deeds and redeem himself."

"It turns out that you have also collected the money!" Although Emperor Kangxi was clear in his heart, it is indeed not the time to settle accounts with Zu Ze.

"Then issue an imperial edict," Kangxi said, "and grant Zu Zeqing the title of Guangxi General and Guangxi General Manager... Let him have the final say on Guangxi's affairs!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

When the ministers below heard what Kangxi said, they all shouted Shengming together... It is estimated that the ancestors have already taken care of themselves.

Emperor Kangxi sighed, picked up another copybook, and said to the people below: "This is the copybook handed over by the Pingnan Palace... The two Kings of Pingnan died for the country on the same day, so they are full of loyalty! The imperial court must be generous. , must not chill the hearts of loyal ministers!"

Kangxi paused, and then said: "In addition, King Pingnan is a loyal family, and the court cannot let the inheritance of King Pingnan be broken..."

As soon as he said this, his father-in-law Gabra hurried in again - because of the "head bombing incident", during these days Gabra squatted at the gate of Supreme Harmony every day to personally watch the gate.He had to unpack and inspect all the test books and secret books, but don't send a bomb in and blow up the Kangxi little sage!

And when Kabula found any particularly bad news during the inspection, he would report it in person... So Emperor Kangxi was a little psychologically disturbed when he saw this old man.

However, the Holy Master's psychological quality is still very good. Although there are shadows in his heart, he looks calm and relaxed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Gabra came in a hurry, seeing Kangxi kowtowing and panting heavily.

"Don't rush, don't rush, speak slowly when you have something to say." Emperor Kangxi smiled and said to the old man... No matter how panicked you are, you can't show your timidity!

"Your Majesty, Prince Pingnan's son has arrived at the Supreme Harmony Gate."

Kangxi heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Xuan, announce him to the palace!"

Gabra seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, Kangxi was afraid that he would report some bad news suddenly, so he hurriedly sent him away: "Go quickly, I'm still waiting to see Prince Pingnan's son! "

"Whoo!"

After hearing what Kangxi said, Gabra hurriedly went again.After a while, I saw Gabra leading a tall man in filial piety and a seventh-rank sesame official coming in together.

Of course it was Shang Zhixin who came. Shang Zhidian's sons were busy with their father and grandfather's funeral during this time, and they didn't have time to come to Emperor Kangxi to ask for his successor.And people don't dare to do Pingnan King anymore... During this time, there are no two Pingnan Kings!Who dares to do it again?

Besides, Shangfan's army and territory are gone, so where else can he go to Pingnanwang?

But Emperor Kangxi was so busy these days that he didn't recognize Shang Zhixin all of a sudden. He just felt that this guy was a bit old and didn't look like Shang Zhidian's son.So he blurted out and asked, "My son, why are you so old?"

As soon as he heard this question, Shang Zhixin burst into tears... Wronged!This road is packed in a prison car, and I have to eat and sleep in the open, and I still have to worry about it. Can I not be old?

Thinking of this, he plopped down and knelt down to Kangxi, "Slave Shang Zhixin knew he was guilty, so he felt guilty and couldn't sleep at night, so he saw the old man..."

"You are Shang Zhixin!" Only then did Emperor Kangxi realize that the person who came was Shang Zhixin, and he immediately became angry, "Come here!"

"Whoo!"

The imperial guards guarding the door rushed in immediately, all glaring at Shang Zhixin, waiting to arrest someone.

But they waited and waited, but they didn't wait until Emperor Kangxi issued the order to arrest people.

Because Emperor Kangxi had already stayed there... The little holy master suddenly realized that he didn't know what crime Shang Zhixin, a bastard, had committed?

He seems innocent!

Not only was he not guilty, but he also exposed Wu Sangui's collusion with the third prince Zhu, that is a meritorious minister!

"Shang Zhixin," Kangxi finally said, "You, you are so loyal... Tell me, how did you find out that Wu Sangui, Wu Yingxiong and the Third Prince Zhu colluded?"

Chapter 239 Yang Qilong, the number one military strategist in the world!

"... Your Majesty, this servant is really stupid. He didn't see through the tricks of Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong. He thought that they thought the same thing as the servant, and they just wanted to raise their own dignity. That's why they followed their way! Now that I think about it, it's really too much." Stupid, if they only want to support the bandits, and they have the Jade Document to prove the identity of the Third Prince Zhu, why do they need to come up with the "Chongzhen Legacy Edict"? Isn't this a matter of putting shit on their own heads?"

The person lying on the floor tiles of the South Study Room with snot and tears talking about how he was deceived by Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong is Shang Zhixin, a good slave who is loyal to the Qing Dynasty—this slave is loyal, but stupid a little!

But having said that, the Kangxi little holy master, who is extremely talented, excellent in arts and sciences, and a master of learning since he was a child, has not understood what is going on with Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong's trick after listening to it for a long time.

"Wait, stop talking..." Emperor Kangxi couldn't listen anymore, he interrupted Shang Zhixin, and then he looked at the ministers in the South Study Room, "Do you understand? This Wu Yingxiong and Yang Qilong What kind of tricks are you using? It sounds like Yang Qilong tricked Wu Yingxiong?"

yes!The ministers in Nan's study all felt the same way.

This Wu Yingxiong is full and has a good life, but if he shows off the Chongzhen edict hidden at home like this, won't he be afraid that Emperor Kangxi will be furious and cut him into pieces?

But the big guy thought about it again...why did Wu Yingxiong let go?Moreover, he rebelled as soon as he returned to Yunnan. Seeing that the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan all have the surname Wu, and most of Hunan and half of Guangxi also have the surname Wu!

Good guy, five provinces in the blink of an eye!

Moreover, the timing of Wu Sangui's rebellion was chosen too well, it happened to rebel when Zhu Santai grandson was showing his might in Guangdong.Tuhai's 2 army made Zhu San Taisun beat [-]% of them with less than [-] people, and even the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were blown up by Tianlei arrows to embarrassment. Guangdong is about to be surnamed Zhu!

At least half of the [-] Green Battalion soldiers who followed Tu Hai and Sun Sike to Guangdong to be beaten were drawn from Hunan and Shaanxi, which are adjacent to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.Now these troops are almost gone!Moreover, the remaining Hunan and Shaanxi Green Battalion soldiers who have not been transferred are inevitably panicked.Especially the Hunan officials and soldiers who are about to be attacked by the third prince Zhu and Wu Sangui, I am afraid that they will not even be able to arouse their fighting spirit...

The result is obvious, how could Wu Yingxiong be tricked by Yang Qilong?He was obviously brought back to Yunnan from Beijing by Yang Qilong's scheme.

But what is this plan?

Why did the Qing court release Wu Yingxiong in a muddle-headed manner?

A group of ministers who usually look very clever, now feel that they are in a fog, and no one knows what's going on?

In the south study, there was a sudden chill.

But the scene didn't stay cold for too long, and a Cantonese accent spoke.

"Your Majesty, I understand a little bit."

Kangxi took a look at that person, he was the seventh-rank sesame official who came with Shang Zhixin.Since the high officials can't tell the reason, let this sesame official talk about it.

So Kangxi ordered: "Then you can tell and listen."

"Whoo."

This seventh-rank official was Huang Zhisheng who escorted Shang Zhixin to Beijing. Hearing Kangxi asked him to talk, he quickly knelt down to Emperor Kangxi, and then began to analyze indiscriminately.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Wu Sangui and his son and Yang Qilong deliberately set up a situation... Taking out the imperial edict of Chongzhen is just a start.
