Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Several healthy horses flitted across the streets of Guangzhou. When passing through the crowded and chaotic streets of the outer city, they did not slow down their speed at all, and went on a rampage all the way.But when they entered the inner city of Guangzhou, they slowed down obediently and walked carefully through the wide and clean streets.

At this time, the inner and outer cities of Guangzhou are two worlds!

Those who live in the outer city are all Han people who have migrated from the coastal areas of Guangdong in recent years, while those who live in the inner city are mostly banner soldiers, bannermen, and banner slaves who belong to the Pingnan Palace... Don't hurt them them!

Besides, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan who is currently guarding Guangdong, is still a stallion. He has raised more than 100 children, and his grandchildren have already numbered a thousand. Most of them live in the inner city of Guangzhou. A few slaves who belonged to Duke Xushun's mansion can't afford it!

It turned out that the few flying horses who entered Guangzhou were not the bannermen of Pingnan Prince's Mansion, but the bannermen of Duke Xushun's Mansion from Chaozhou. They were all slaves of Mrs. Shang Shuying of Duke Xushun's Mansion.

This Shang Shuying is one of Shang Kexi's more than 100 sons and daughters. She married Shen Yongxing, the previous Duke Xu Shun, a few years ago.However, this Shen Yongxing was a young man who died young. He died at a young age and did not leave a seed for Shang Shuying. So he was dismissed by Ge Jue)'s son Shen Rui as Qizi, and let this Shen Rui attack the duke.However, the power of the government is still in Shang Shuying's hands, even if Deng Guangming, the vice governor, has to call himself a slave when he sees Shang Shuying.

After entering the inner city of Guangzhou, these servants of Duke Xushun's Mansion did not go straight to the still gratifying Pingnan Prince's Mansion, but went to the old Jingnan Prince's Mansion next door, the current Prince Pingnan's Mansion - Jing The southern king Geng Jimao was also enshrined in Guangzhou at the beginning, and the monk Kexi lived in Guangdong together.But later the Qing court felt that the relationship between Shang and Geng was harmonious, and they didn't like dogs biting dogs.So Geng Jimao was moved away, and the Geng family's palace also belonged to Shang Kexi's eldest son, Shang Zhixin.

And this Shang Zhixin was originally a hostage in Beijing, eating, drinking and having fun with Emperor Shunzhi, became a good brother, and was named "I Dagong" (Qidi). After the "little holy master" Emperor Kangxi killed the loyal minister Oboi, he felt that Ama's good brother, Uncle Shang, could be trusted (Ama's vision could be wrong?), so he asked him to go back to Guangdong to give to Pingnan Wang Shang. Fortunately, this old traitor has made trouble...

After Shang Zhixin arrived in Guangzhou, of course he didn't take Lao Tzu Shang Kexi seriously.Shang Kexi is the dog slave of Shunzhi and Kangxi.Shang Zhixin is Shunzhi's "I Da", Qidi, and Kangxi's "Qishu".

Isn't it obvious who is big and who is young, who is the master and who is the slave?

And the slaves under Prince Pingnan's mansion are all sensible, one is the emperor's dog slave, or an old dog slave who is not long in the world, and the other is the little emperor's "Uncle Shang", who should they listen to?

So after Shang Zhixin returned to Guangdong, Shang Kexi was gradually dismissed.And Shang Shuying who married to Chaozhou is also a sensible female slave, of course she is closer to her elder brother.If you have anything, talk to your elder brother first, and then talk to your father.

And Shang Kexi, who had been robbed of at least half of his power by his son, didn't dare to resist - that was Lord Kangxi's "Uncle Shang", a slave should know his superiors and inferiors!How can you resist?Tired of life?

So the old traitor Shang simply became a hands-off prince, and didn't care about things, eating meat, drinking, and chanting Buddha in his palace all day long.Shang Kexi didn't really believe in Buddhism, otherwise he wouldn't be so bloodthirsty!But after he heard that both Master Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager believed in Buddhism, he felt that he should also burn more incense, so as to be consistent with the masters!

So he built a family temple in the back garden of the palace, and asked people to bind the eminent monk Dangui, a highly respected monk in Guangdong, to be the abbot.

On the afternoon of August [-]th, he was old and fat, with white hair all over his body. Shang Kexi, who looked like a polar bear, was shirtless (it’s hot in Guangdong! He’s from the Northeast, and he can’t afford it), fanning himself. Holding a cattail fan and drinking iced Cantonese rice wine, while reciting "Namo Amitabha" in the Buddhist hall, I suddenly heard the voice of his master Kangxi's "Uncle Shang" yelling.

"Ama, I'm overjoyed! Congratulations..."

"Uncle Shang" came, of course Shang Kexi didn't dare to recite sutras anymore, so he had to welcome him!Quickly called the two nuns to help him up, and then waited for him to put on a sleeveless summer gown, waved his fan and went out to greet him.

As soon as he left the Buddhist hall, the old traitor Shang saw his number one aide, the old man Jin Guangjin, and his tall and tall eldest son "Uncle Shang", who looked a bit "two" coming hand in hand.

Old man Jin was full of sadness, while "Uncle Shang" was beaming with joy.

Is this what is going on?

The old traitors are confused, aren't they "rejoiced"?Why is one sad and the other so happy?Ah, could it be that the master ordered me to abdicate to make room for "Uncle Shang"?

Although he was unwilling in his heart, the old traitor didn't dare to be dissatisfied with his master, so he could only ask with a smile: "My father, what's the happy event?"

"Ama," Shang Zhixin said with a smile, "Sister Thirteen just sent someone to send an urgent military report. That idiot Deng Guangming lost the battle in Jieyang County. There were less than 200 casualties, and they were all flag soldiers!"

ah?Shang Kexi was stunned again and again, pointing at his son with the cattail fan, and finally choked out a sentence: "You, what did you say?"

"Ama, Deng Guangming was defeated by the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson Zhu in Jieyang County. He suffered heavy losses. Now he is dispatching troops everywhere to try to regain his position... Hahaha!"

"You, you..." Shang Kexi was dumbfounded, "Which one are you from? Why are you so happy that Xushun Gongfu lost the battle?"

"Ama, why are you so confused?" Shang Zhixin said to Shang Kexi in a reprimanding tone, "Chaozhou Prefecture is not our territory, no matter how big the troubles of the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson of Zhu are there, they will not be able to beat us On him. If the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson of Zhu could really eat the entire Chaozhou Prefecture, would those treacherous officials in the court still dare to think about withdrawing our domain? Hahaha..."

Shang Kexi looked at this "Uncle Shang" who was smiling from ear to ear, and was really speechless.Thanks to the little master Kangxi who believed in him so much, this "uncle" actually wanted to raise Kou's self-respect!

But he also didn't think about how many bad things his family had done in Guangdong. If the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson Zhu brought Cantonese into Guangzhou Mansion, wouldn't Shang's family of one or two thousand people be wiped out?

Thinking of this, he looked at his confidant, old man Jin. This old man was a Juren of the Ming Dynasty. Because he failed in the general examination, he became an aide under Shang Kexi's sect, and later became a traitor with Shang Kexi. For decades, I have devoted myself to assisting the old traitor Shang... Just like Shang Kexi, his hands are also covered with the blood of the people of Guangdong!

If the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson of Zhu really become big in Guangdong, he may also have to kill all his families!

The old man Jin kept frowning, as if he was thinking hard. Seeing Shang Kexi's gaze, he stroked his beard and said, "My lord, my son, I always feel that the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu appearing in Danan Mountain in Chaozhou are suspicious." , it is likely to be fake...they are likely to be the remnants of Tang Fan in the Ming Dynasty!"

Chapter 021 Kangxi, Your Uncle Shang is the Most Loyal!

"The remnants of Tang Fan? Are they Zhu Yu'e's descendants?" Shang Kexi's face was gloomy, and his murderous aura was rolling.

"It may also be a member of the tribe!" said the old man Jin, "My lord, do you still remember that before our soldiers besieged Wencun in the 15th year of Shunzhi, Zhu Yu'e and Wang Xing sent several waves of people to various parts of Guangdong to occupy the mountains and grasses? The leader of each wave They are all the eldest sons of the Tang clan, although we have intercepted many of them, but it is inevitable that one of them slipped through the net...the gang of traitors on Danan Mountain may be the remnants of the Tang clan who slipped through the net!"

"Huh!" The old traitor Shang snorted coldly, "This old man and Tang Fan are irreconcilable, as long as this old man is still in Guangdong, the remnants of Tang Fan will kill every old man who jumps out!"

"What are you killing?" Shang Zhixin frowned upon hearing the old man's words, "Ama, you are so foolish! Have you forgotten how sad it was after King Pingxi's foolishness killed Emperor Yongli?

Those treacherous ministers in the court turned around and forgot about our hard work, thinking all day long about laying off our soldiers, deducting our salaries, cutting down our vassals... When Oboi was in power, he punished King Pingxi very badly , now that we are in the pro-government, we simply compare our San Francisco with river affairs and water transportation, and regard them as the most important tasks that the imperial court needs to rectify!

Now that the Third Prince Zhu has finally come to Chaozhou, our family and the Geng family can breathe a sigh of relief, why are you always thinking about killing this life-saving Third Prince Zhu? "

Shang Kexi is also a little annoyed, his son "Uncle Shang" is a "slave" who is taller than him, so there is nothing wrong with teaching him a lesson.But the problem is that what "Uncle Shang" said doesn't sound like what a good servant of the Qing Dynasty should say?

"I Dagong!" Shang Kexi said in a serious manner, "It's a pity that the late emperor and the present have trusted you so much, but you don't know how to repay it, and just want to raise your own self-respect... Our family's wealth is the master's grace, when will the master think about it?" Take it back, we shouldn't complain, we have to trust the master. The master will not treat loyal and heroic officials badly!"

"That's right!" the old man Jin also said, "Since ancient times, feudal towns with soldiers and self-respect have rarely come to a good end. Even if the prince and the prince withdraw from the feudal clan, generations of prosperity will be inevitable!"

"You!" Shang Zhixin was also speechless, stomping his feet and said, "You two are so stupid!"

"You..." Shang Kexi's face was already ugly. He has ruled Guangdong for so many years, who dares to be as angry with him as Shang Zhixin?

"How can you say that about the lord?" Old man Jin couldn't stand it anymore.

This Prince Pingnan's son is simply unfaithful and unfilial!

Shang Zhixin saw that the two old fools still didn't understand, so he had to explain patiently: "You two also know that I am I Da Gong... I am the late emperor's I Da, how can you not know the late emperor's personality? I watched him grow up, how can I not know his nature? These two people are generally mean and unkind, moody and difficult to serve! The first emperor is better, he still has a clear distinction between love and hate, not as hypocritical as today. Today... ah!"

Speaking of this, Shang Zhixin shook his head like a rattle, and then said again: "Ah, this is the kind of master who kills you all over the house and asks you to thank the master Long En!"

"You, who are you talking about?" Shang Kexi remembered Guangzhou Zhitu after hearing this, and gave his son a hard look.

Shang Zhixin snorted: "Besides, today I will not remember the merits and kindness of the past... No matter how many Han people you kill for the Manchurians, it is useless! Once you hand over the territory and the army, it will not be a few years before you arrive in Beijing You will lose your family!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Shang Kexi glared, "How could the master do this?"

"The master has always been like this!" Shang Zhi said, "When it comes to attacking the great Qing Dynasty, no one can beat Dorgon! What happened? After death, the corpse was whipped... the late emperor really couldn't beat him when he was alive, otherwise It has already been copied all over the house!"

Shang Kexi said coldly: "He, he sleeps with the emperor and the queen mother, he deserves it!"

"Hehe," Shang Zhi said, "Without his support, would the first emperor be able to become the Son of Heaven?

As for... sleeping with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is very happy to let him sleep!The queen mother is so strong, she is a Mongolian lady, and I heard that she has practiced Mongolian wrestling!Dorgon is weak and sickly, and he can't beat the queen mother at all. If the queen mother is willing, Dorgon can still be strong?Not that physical at all. "

"Yes, but today is the benevolent monarch!" Shang Kexi said, "Oboi's life is spared for such a serious crime."

"Forgive me..." Shang Zhixin waved his hand, "It didn't take long for him to be tortured to death, and his death was worse than that of a dog. Everyone in Sijiu City knows about this!

Ah Ma, you are going to surrender your military power and land to Beijing, so what happened to Oboi will be what happened to you when you were old! "

"I, I am faithful!"

"Ama... How much is loyalty these days?" Shang Zhixin continued to educate Lao Tzu, "If loyalty can save your life, how could Oboi end up like this? Who in the Qing Dynasty can be more loyal than Oboi? Can you be more loyal to Oboi? Bibi? When Dorgon was alive, would you dare to fight Dorgon to death to protect Emperor Xian and King Su (Haoge)?"

"But he, he is disrespectful to the emperor, and he is also arbitrarily powerful!" Shang Kexi said, "He intends to rebel!"

"Actually, it's not disrespectful, it's just relying on the old to sell the old. Taking power too seriously is the minister who was appointed by the first emperor..." Shang Zhi said, "As for the rebellion, it's nothing to do, and he doesn't get eight points ( Into the eight-point prince, that is, the banner owner and the small banner owner who directly own Niulu), a housekeeper and an old slave, what rebellion? Our family has fifteen assistant leaders and thousands of green battalion soldiers! "

"I Dagong..." Shang Kexi's face was flushed, and he said to his son angrily, "The late emperor and the present have always treated you kindly, how can you repay them like this? Are you not afraid of retribution?"

"Ama!" Shang Zhixin shook his head again and again, "You have killed innocent people indiscriminately in this life, and you have killed so many people, and you are not afraid of retribution. I am a good filial son and loyal minister, what retribution are you afraid of?"

"Are you still a filial son?"

"That's right!" Shang Zhidao said, "Ama, if I don't stop you from handing over the power, you will not have a good death!"

"Then you, are you still a loyal minister?"

Shang Zhixin nodded seriously: "Yes! I am a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty! There are not many loyal ministers like me in the Qing Dynasty now."

Shang Kexi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is there any loyal minister who raises his own self-esteem?"

Shang Zhixin said with a smile: "I didn't raise bandits for self-respect, I was already respectful...I raised bandits to prevent the San Francisco from being forced to rebel! To prevent the San Francisco from being forced to rebel, it was to protect the Qing Dynasty. This is a loyal minister." Ah! Those in the court who encourage the emperor to cut down the domain every day are all traitors!"

"I Da Gong," Shang Kexi shook his head and said, "Manchuria's heavenly soldiers are invincible, you are too young to know how powerful they are! Our San Francisco can't beat them."

"The invincible ones are Ama and Mafa, the masters of the four or nine ministers. Most of them are about your age, and they are not Manchurians in their right age." Shang Zhixin looked disdainful, "Ah Ma, I have lived in Beijing for so many years, and I still don’t know how capable the Manchurians are there? Besides, the old generals of the Qing Dynasty have been withered in recent years, and they can’t keep their ministers! After Oboi was killed, he even killed a large number of them. They can still fight a dozen. These people are gone, who else in the court can compare with King Pingxi?

I think it's just King Pingxi who can't deal with them. If the three feudal clans go together, the Qing Dynasty will probably not be able to keep it!

Now there is a third prince Zhu, if he can take good care of him, he might be able to deal with it, wouldn't everyone be happy?Ama, do you know my painstaking efforts now?I am really the number one loyal minister in the Qing Dynasty! "

"This..." Shang Kexi really couldn't refute his son's words.

His dog-headed strategist Jin Guangjin also had nothing to say.

Shang Zhixin twirled his mustache, thinking: "Mr. Jin, you just said that the identity of the Third Prince Zhu in Chaozhou is not true?"

"It's really suspicious," Jin Guang said, "There is no personal evidence that can directly prove the identity of the third prince Zhu, and the physical evidence is only a waist card of Dingwang, which is easy to forge."

"Well," Shang Zhixin thought for a while, "Then how can the iron case be settled?"

"If you can get the jade certificate that records the name, date of birth, birth mother, wife Wen, and the names of the deacons and eunuchs at birth, etc., the third prince Zhu, then the credibility will be high." Jin Guangdao, "In addition, if there is another It would be even better if the seal passed down by Emperor Chongzhen or a few pieces of imperial pens are evidence!"

"Okay!" Shang Zhixin nodded, and said solemnly: "For the sake of the emperor's great Qing Dynasty, and to live up to the trust of the late emperor, we have to help with this!"

Chapter 022 Emperor Kangxi, are you still wise?

On August [-]th of the tenth year of Kangxi, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the third anniversary of Obai's death is also approaching.

The 19-year-old pockmarked Emperor Xuan Ye still remembers that in May of the eighth year of Kangxi, he eradicated the powerful traitor Aobai in one fell swoop, thus firmly holding the power in his hands.However, he always felt that he should be a benevolent king, so after arresting Oboi, he did not give him a formal punishment, but let people torture the rebellious minister for almost three months before allowing Oboi to die of illness in the mid-autumn festival. ...to go down and reunite with his dead family!

What a great grace!

This thing was done beautifully, not only won the name of benevolence and righteousness, but also gave Oboi a face, and also let out a bad breath, and at the same time frightened Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong, the three Xiaoxiao, no, yes Xiaolaoxiaoda!Let them not have any dissatisfaction, and honestly cooperate with the reduction of feudal clans!In this way, maybe the three of them can be spared a good death... a good death immediately!

But today, when Kangxi was sitting in the South Study Room in the South Room of the Qianqing Palace, which is the South Study Room where Oboi was arrested, and waiting for Xiong Cilu, the head of the Imperial Academy, to give a lecture on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he suddenly remembered the heinous The right to rape Oboi.

Although that Aobai was extremely bad, his deterrent power against the San Francisco and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty was still very strong.When he was there, the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu would not make such a big fuss, and there would not be any descendants of Zhuge Liang to protect the third prince Zhu and the third grandson!

Moreover, Oboi, a power traitor, must be able to figure out who is really the third prince and grandson of Zhu third, or whether Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixin, and Shang Shuying's family are raising bandits in Guangdong to protect themselves!

It turned out that the inscriptions and memorials submitted by Shang Shuying and Deng Guangming, as well as the inscriptions submitted jointly or individually by civil and military officials from Chaozhou Prefecture such as Wang Deping, Liu Jinzhong, Xue Zhang, Fengmingshan, etc., have now arrived in Beijing. Put it on the desk of Emperor Kangxi-this is really a lot of inscriptions and memorials!

The reason why there are a lot of them is because the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson of Zhu who appeared in Chaozhou, Guangdong this time are very unusual. And it is developing rapidly.

From the beginning of the capture of the third grandson of Zhu alive, to the later third grandson of Zhu being robbed by the same party, and then the third grandson of Zhu, the third grandson of Zhuge, and Zhuge's army division rioted in Jieyang County together, and even defeated Duke Xu Shun with an empty city plan in Guiyu Mansion flag soldiers... Although Deng Guangming finally trapped the third prince Zhu and Zhu third grandson in the capital of Guiyu after a hard battle, the Xushun mansion flag soldiers also suffered heavy losses, with more than [-] casualties!

This is a flag soldier!

What does it mean that so much was lost in one battle?The third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu who appeared in Chaozhou this time have amazing fighting power... If it wasn't for Shang Kexi, the old monk, Shang Shuying, and the Kefu girls who were playing tricks to raise bandits and falsely report losses!

And another thing that Emperor Kangxi couldn't understand, of course, was what happened to Zhuge Liang's demon descendant?

It's Zhuge Shenlei again, and the secret empty city plan... These things don't seem to exist in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!Is it because I didn't read the book carefully?

To make it clear, Emperor Kangxi didn't even turn over the sign last night, but read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the beginning to the end, without missing a single word, but he still didn't find any Zhuge Shenlei or the secret empty city plan .

However, Emperor Kangxi still did not give up, and today he simply asked the guards to inform Xiong Cilu, the head of the Imperial Academy, to let him stop talking about the Four Books and Five Classics, and instead talk about the Three Kingdoms... This made Xiong Cilu very anxious!

Nope!

Dashilar storytellers only talk about the Three Kingdoms, he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and a senior official of the second rank, how can he talk about the Three Kingdoms?It's too late to go to Dashilan to learn from a teacher!

But life is hard for you!If the emperor wanted to listen to the Three Kingdoms, Xiong Cilu had to talk about the Three Kingdoms.And he also knew that Emperor Kangxi was a young hero, and he would not listen to the Three Kingdoms for no reason.If he wants to listen to the Three Kingdoms, it must be related to military affairs.As a "Hanlin academy storyteller", Xiong Cilu had to speak well and try hard to let the young hero get some principles of governing the country from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

So Xiong Cilu had no choice but to bite the bullet, took a set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and went to the South Study Room where Emperor Kangxi was.

When he arrived, he found that scholars Tu Hai and Jin Batai from the Zhonghe Palace, Suo Etu and Li Wei from the Palace of Preservation, Dui Kana and Feng Pu from the Wenhua Palace had all gathered in the South Study Room, one by one. Standing there with hands down.

What does it mean?Xiong Cilu thought: "So many people listen to me talking about the Three Kingdoms together? They won't laugh at me if I say something bad?"

Xiong Cilu didn't know what to do, but the etiquette that should be done should not be missed. After entering the South Study Room, he knelt down respectfully, then put aside the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he brought with him, and kowtowed to Emperor Kangxi.

After prostrating, I heard Emperor Kangxi say "Pingshen", so I picked up "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and got up from the ground.

"Xiong Cilu," Emperor Kangxi said solemnly at this time, "I want to test you."

Xiong Cilu said, "Your Majesty, please come up with a question."

"In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" No. 90, Chapter [-], Zhuge Hou put up an empty plan to deal with Sima Yi's army. If Sima Yi ignored it and went in with his head covered, what would happen?"

"No," Xiong Cilu said with a smile, "Zhuge Liang has figured out that Sima Yi is suspicious, so he will definitely be fooled."

"I mean, if, if Sima Yi is not fooled, does Zhuge Liang have a plan?"

"This..." Xiong Cilu was dumbfounded.

However, his mind was still very active. Looking around, he found that there were six grand scholars present, and everyone had serious expressions, as if they were joking or listening to books.

This means that now... are we discussing national affairs?

"Your Majesty," Xiong Cilu immediately put on a serious expression (the attitude must be correct first), "I think Zhuge Kongming must have a trick."

He really thought so-Zhuge Kongming must be ready for himself!

If Sima Yi didn't retreat, then Kong Ming would definitely get on his horse and slip away!
