    On August 6, 1679 AD, the first day of July in the fourth year of Honghua in the Great Zhou Dynasty, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Yue Palace, the six Cao palm seals and the four great scholars, except Xie Dong, who is also the household Cao palm seal left by the Governor of Liangjiang in Nanjing, are unprecedented.  The first reunion in Beijing.  At the same time, all the civil and military officials of the Fatty Army above the fourth rank in Beijing also participated in this gathering¡ªto be precise, they should be equivalent to the civil and military officials above the fourth rank.  Although not small, the grade is generally not high.

    In addition, Wu Jun generals Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, Tao Jizhi, Du Hui and Wu Guogui brothers who voluntarily or semi-voluntarily surrendered to the Fatty Army, and even Geng Jingzhong, no matter whether they held real power in the Fatty Army's court or not.  They were all specially summoned by Fatty Lu into the Forbidden City to participate in the meeting of the Great Zhouyue Palace in the Hall of Martial Arts.  There was no festival or big celebration, and about 300 civil and military officials of all ages gathered in the Wuying Gate, which seemed very lively and strange at the same time.

    "I'm afraid something big will happen today." Countless fat army officials have such a premonition, and think of the first day of the first lunar month of the third year of Honghua a year and a half ago. Faced with the persuasion of all officials, Fatty Lu promised to come in one and a half years ago.  After giving the answer today, most of the fat military officials and upstarts who were looking forward to Fatty Lu becoming emperor to consolidate their vested interests are of course heart-thumping, but these fat military officials are extremely strange. Since Fatty Lu has made up his mind to become emperor,  Why did he swear such a poisonous oath in public at the Temple of Heaven a year ago? Isn't this just adding infamy to himself for usurping the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?

    "What the hell are you going to do, little bastard?" It's been almost a year since I became my son-in-law's younger brother. Of course, Wu Guogui has heard what the unscrupulous son-in-law said at the New Year's ceremony a year and a half ago, and he also knows that the unscrupulous son-in-law promised that he will return in a year and a half.  Give an accurate answer to persuade all officials.  Today's time has just arrived, and the unfilial son-in-law summoned so many important ministers to Beijing, Wu Guogui inevitably had a bad feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but quietly tugged on the sleeve of his third younger brother Wu Guozheng, and said in a low voice: "Guozheng, if the little bastard does something today  What about that kind of thing?"

    Wu Guozheng, who was rescued from the prison in Jingzhou by the Fatty Army, was silent, and after a while he replied in a low voice: "Brother must be overwhelmed, please pay attention, brother, today the guards in the Hall of Martial Heroes are still the same as usual, and there is no additional sentry.  , and did not send troops into the palace, if my nephew wants to do such a thing, he will not be confused about such details."

    Reminded by Wu Guozheng, Wu Guogui found out that the situation was just like what the third brother said, that in the Hall of Martial Arts where Fatty Lu lived, as usual, there were old lackeys Liu's brothers and Fatty Lu's personal soldiers standing guard on duty, and there was no extra guard on purpose.  Increase the sentry and increase the strength of the troops. The gates of the Ningdao Hall and Huanzhang Hall on both sides of the Wuying Hall are also wide open. There is no ambush.  relax a bit.

    Of course, because of his understanding of the cunning son-in-law, it is impossible for Wu Guogui to be completely at ease. After careful consideration for a while, Wu Guogui pretended to walk around casually, and slowly came to Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, Tao Jizhi and others who were chatting and laughing.  Beside Wang Jizhen and others, while pretending to be joking with a few colleagues, they said in a low voice: "The scene today is not good. You have also heard about what happened on the first day of the first lunar month last year, and today happens to be the first day of the seventh lunar month. If today  , what are you going to do?"

    Ma Bao and the others who were talking and joking suddenly became cold. After a moment of silence, Old General Ma suddenly waved to the side and laughed loudly: "Brother Du Hui, when did you come back from Liaodong? Why don't you go to my house for a while after you come back?"  Come?" While calling Du Hui, General Ma slipped faster than a rabbit, Wang Jizhen was even more rude, and followed General Ma without even saying hello, and went to talk to Du Hui.

    "Old slicker, the older you get, the more slippery you get." Wu Guogui spit at the back of General Ma, then turned to Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi who were still in place, without speaking, just staring at them, Wang Pingfan couldn't stand Wu Guogui's words  Looking at him, he replied in a low voice: "Brother Guogui is overwhelmed. On July 28 last year, the prince made such a poisonous oath in the Temple of Heaven. How could he do such a thing?"

    "What if? What if he insists on doing that despite his reputation?" Wu Guogui asked.

    Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi dared not speak anymore, but they were not as unfeeling as General Ma, who made excuses to escape. Wu Guogui waited for a while, and seeing that the two kept their heads down and did not speak, he said in a low voice: "If he really dares to  If I break my oath and break my promise, I will kill my relatives righteously, can you help me?"

    Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi's expressions changed at the same time, and they subconsciously peeked around. Fortunately, Wu Guogui's voice was very low, and no one around him heard it, and no one paid attention to it. Wu Guogui frowned when he saw this, and said in a low voice: "  You are so afraid of my unfilial son-in-law? Have you forgotten the kindness and caring of Emperor Gao of Taizu?"

    "Of course I haven't forgotten."?, this king wants to take a look, who else dares to say that this king has two hearts for the Great Zhou court!  "

    "My lord¡ª!" Shaobo Wang screamed, "Your lord, your meritorious service is unrivaled, and your virtue is worthy of the world!"

    "My lord!" Countless fat military officials, both civil and military, knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Your lord is worthy of heaven and earth, and his civilization combines civil and martial arts. He deserves to be called emperor."

    "My lords, there is no need to say too much. This king has made up his mind." Fatty Lu waved his hands, flatly refused, and said sincerely: "My lords, my generals, I accept your kindness, but this king accepts it first."  There is no way to repay the great kindness of the emperor, and I am already extremely ashamed, how can I do such an unjust act? Please rest assured, gentlemen and generals, you are the pillars of the country, even if Emperor Honghua is welcomed back, he will definitely  I will reuse you and will not treat you badly."

    "It's no wonder you didn't treat us badly." The fat man's military dignitaries murmured in their hearts, and hurriedly persuaded Fatty Lu to give up the idea of ??moving out of the Forbidden City, but Fatty Lu just refused. In the end, Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng and others had no choice but to say again: "  Your lord, you also said that Emperor Taizu Gao warned that if the golden statue of Emperor Honghua is brought into the Qianqing Palace, the heavens will not only send warnings, but also disasters, what if the words of Emperor Taizu come true?"

    "If Emperor Taizu Gao's warning really comes true" Fatty Lu was waiting for these words, and after hesitating for a while he said: "If this is the case, then I will deal with it myself. I believe in destiny, I believe in Mingming  Among them, they have their own will of God, and they believe in obeying the will of heaven and responding to the hearts of the people."

    "It's easy to say if you have this sentence." Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng and others breathed a sigh of relief, and said together: "Anyway, my lord didn't dream of any disaster that Emperor Taizu Gao would bring. It's great to push the flood of locusts on Wu Shifan to prove that he didn't  The blessing of the king should abdicate to the virtuous!"

    "My virtuous son-in-law, what do you mean by that?" Wu Guogui also heard the flaws in Fatty Lu's words, and asked vigilantly, "Could it be that my virtuous son-in-law wants to say that if any disaster happens from heaven, my virtuous son-in-law intends to replace it?"

    "Then how do you want me to answer?" Fatty Lu suddenly became furious, pointed at Wu Guogui's nose and growled: "This king has already decided to move out of the Forbidden City, and you still want to suspect that this king is planning to usurp the throne and stand on his own?! Do you want this king to take you away?"  Helping you to the throne and letting the throne be named Wu immediately, do you believe that this king does not want to be the emperor?!"

    "I don't dare!" Wu Guogui was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. All the fat military and military officials in the hall were also furious, hating Wu Guogui for the foolish, loyal and traitorous old Wu Guogui.  Even Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi felt that Wu Guogui was too much, and Fatty Lu had already decided to move out of the Forbidden City, so why did he still suspect that Fatty Lu was planning to usurp the throne?

    "It's fine if you don't dare." Fatty Lu snorted coldly, "From today onwards, your position as admiral of Fengtai will be handed over to Hu Tongchun. You will live in the inner city of Beijing and take over as the head of the imperial guards to protect the golden statue of Emperor Honghua and Taizu.  The high emperor's spiritual position! The defense of Deshengmen is up to you! Again, unless Deshengmen collapses on its own and the Temple of Heaven and Earth burst into springs, this king will never proclaim himself emperor! This king wants you to watch it with your own eyes, this king  Are there any tricks like that?"

    "The minister leads the decree." Wu Guogui, who knew that he had committed public anger, had no choice but to agree.

    "Preach Jun's decree." Fatty Lu stood up and shouted loudly: "Li Cao quickly casts a golden statue of Emperor Honghua, please enter the Qianqing Palace and take his place. This king will invite all civil and military officials to bow down in person. This king will move out immediately  Forbidden City, move to Fengtai camp!"

    "I would like to abide by the order of the lord, and the lord will be a thousand years old!" The fat man's civil and military officials also kowtowed helplessly, sang promises in unison, and said together: "What kind of medicine is sold in the lord's gourd? I really don't intend to.  Do you want to be called the emperor, or do you think that you are destined to belong to heaven, and believe that Deshengmen will collapse on its own, the Temple of Heaven will burst into springs, and heaven will send disasters?"

    "My lord, Fengtai is full of military camps, and there are no houses." Huang Ji asked cautiously, "Does the lord order to build some houses in Fengtai for the lord to live in?"

    "I'm confused, I finally found an excuse to live in a shock-absorbing shed, and can I still live in those temporary houses?" Fatty Lu muttered in his heart, and sighed: "No, the war is endless, the treasury  If you are running out of money, don¡¯t add any more burden to the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Anyway, this king has been in the army for many years, and he is also used to living in the military tent.  Let's discuss."

    "My lord, why do you have to wrong yourself so much?"

    Finally someone cried out. To show their loyalty, the Hall of Martial Heroes burst into tears. Wu Guogui, Wang Pingfan and the others also had sore noses. They all regretted their suspicion of Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu wanted to prove that he had no intention of usurping the throne.  , has wronged himself to this point, and we still persecute Fatty Lu so much, it is too much to treat Fatty Lu's gentleman with a villain's heart.

    "It's still more convenient to start from scratch like Zhu Yuanzhang." Fatty Lu sighed quietly again in his heart, "Those who start from speculation and cheating like me will suffer more and suffer more." (To be completed  Continued.
