Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For such a long time, Wu Shigong's external behavior has always been very kind.  Not to mention his old subordinates in the Runing Army, as well as the civil and military officials who had recently taken refuge, Wu Shigong had always taken great care of him and never used ruthless methods, let alone hurt the lives of officials.  But no one knows that Wu Shigong was a ruthless gang leader in his previous life.  Moreover, everyone has forgotten that when Wu Shigong was in the capital as the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, he dared to kill two fierce rogues.  When Wu Shigong first arrived in Guide, before charging "Farewell", he even coldly killed a little girl.  ¡°After all, if someone threatens Wu Shigong and other family members, Wu Shigong will not hesitate to let people see his bloody methods.  The reason for the illusion of "benevolence" is simply that in the past, Wu Shigong's political skills were relatively clever, making it difficult for others to touch Wu Shigong's reverse scale.  After a brief moment of panic, Xue Yongli also calmed down slightly.  He was very familiar with Wu Shigong's temper, so he had to use family ties as the theme, and finally struggled: "Your Majesty! The first person I served was the Marquis, and then I followed you, and I will also serve the little Marquis in the future. I have always served him  I am loyal and will never do anything like this." "Hey¡ª¡ª!" Wu Shigong let out a long sigh, waved for Xue Yongli to sit down, and then said, "Why don't I know about the founding of the Great Ping Dynasty?  He and Mr. Deng both took great credit. Not to mention, this military remonstrance had nothing to do with Uncle Yongli. " "But Your Majesty" Xue Yongli became even more anxious when he heard what Wu Shigong said.  He knew that Wu Shigong could say such things.  It means you have made up your mind.  And Xue Yongli also knew that Wu Shigong was a person who had a hard time changing his mind.  Wu Shigong raised his right hand.  Interrupting Xue Yongli: "Uncle Yongli! The old guards who followed me out of Beijing came to visit me a few days ago. During our chat, we figured out that after more than ten years, there are not many left alive." "Then.  The 200 people who accompanied me into the Holy Spirit Society camp now only have 47 people left. Too many people have died. But if you do this, what can I do?  ?¡± As he spoke, Wu Shigong¡¯s voice started to get louder: ¡°When I read the history books and saw Ming Taizu massacre the heroes, I felt it was ridiculous, and even more so, I secretly vowed to share it with you.  Wealth will never kill anyone arbitrarily. But what about the result? Oh, is Uncle Yongli willing to see me killing all the civil and military people with their heads flowing like rivers of blood?" Xue Yongli slumped on his chair after listening to Wu Shigong's words.  , and looked much older.  At this time, he could no longer give any excuse.  It is clear.  Wu Shigong needed to remove Xue Yongli's "thorn in the flesh" in order to achieve the stability of the Great Ping Dynasty.  As for whether Xue Yongli is guilty or not, that is completely unimportant.  So Xue Yongli could only keep saying: "It was the young one who sent the emperor to the dragon throne. It was the young one who sent the emperor to the dragon throne" But Wu Shigong didn't respond. He was just calm and cold.  He stated the conditions one by one: "Uncle Yongli just died of a sudden illness today. After his death, he will enjoy all the sorrow and glory, and the family will enjoy all the wealth." "Except for Uncle Yongli, I will never kill anyone again, so that others can remember Uncle Yongli."  "I will never change the position of Prince Lin'er. In a hundred years, the Song Dynasty will be able to enjoy the glory of at least two generations of kings." "I like the eldest grandson of the emperor very much.  . The emperor¡¯s eldest grandson has no hope of succeeding to the throne. Even if the prince¡¯s eldest grandson is born, I will make him the king of Wu and let him go to the south of the Yangtze River.  If they live there, all my royal properties in the south of the Yangtze River will belong to them, making them rich and prosperous forever. " "I will drive Ying'er's ministers out of the capital, and Ying'er will also lose the right to inherit the throne. "  Wu Shigong walked out of the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion.  Got on his carriage.  He did not let the carriage start immediately, but just lay on the soft couch of the carriage with his eyes closed and rested his mind.  After a while, a burst of crying came from the Duke of Song's mansion, and then Ye Zhong also held two empty wine bottles and led a group of guards out of the Duke of Song's mansion.  Seeing Ye Zhong leaving the Duke of Song's Mansion, Wu Shigong knocked on the carriage and said, "Drive!" Wu Shigong had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. He just wanted everyone to know that he was the one who killed Xue Yongli.  This is also the sternest warning to all civil and military officials, warning them not to get involved in the royal dispute over the heir apparent.  "It is true that Xue Yongli was an innocent victim, but if Xue Yongli was not killed, Wu Shigong would carry out a general purge of the two civil and military factions involved in the seizure of the royal family in the entire court.  Compared with the turmoil caused to the court, sacrificing Xue Yongli was the smallest loss.  Therefore, the king¡¯s manyChoice is so ruthless.  There is another point that is also very important.  As the two people who most contributed to the establishment of the Great Ping Dynasty, Deng Qifan was influenced by a large number of former Ming officials. In addition, since he was now the chief minister, he could only be in power for ten years at most, so he did not pose much of a threat to the royal family.  As the leader of the Xue family, Xue Yongli had disciples and grandchildren all over the army. Wu Shigong was afraid that after Xue Chenglin succeeded to the throne, Xue Yongli would achieve great success and shock the emperor.  Rather than creating a threat in the future, it is better to solve this problem now.  Without Xue Yongli, Zhou Xun, who has the highest status in the army, is not a member of the Xue family generals. In the future, it will be easier for Xue Chenglin to control the army, and it will also be easy to form a court system in which civilians command the army.  On the way back, the tense atmosphere obviously spread to the entire capital.  There are fewer people on the streets, and teams of soldiers have begun patrolling the streets.  Outside the offices of Zhang Zhiheng and other officials who were close to Wu Chengying, there were also groups of soldiers surrounding them.  These officials have been placed under house arrest, waiting for Wu Shigong to come and punish them.  But Wu Shigong, who had just killed Xue Yongli, felt that he was also very tired.  It's one thing to do something cold, but it's another thing to think about it.  After all, Wu Shigong and Xue Yongli have developed a deep relationship after being together through thick and thin for more than ten years.  And now Xue Yongli was executed by Wu Shigong himself. How could this make Wu Shigong feel better?  So Wu Shigong wanted to go back to the palace directly and ignore Zhang Zhiheng and others.  Anyway, Wu Shigong had just promised Xue Yongli: "I will never kill anyone indiscriminately again." It was not a big deal to put so many officials under house arrest for a few days.  But as soon as Wu Shigong returned to the inner courtyard of the palace, he saw almost all of his concubines and children kneeling to greet him.  Some concubines and children were so frightened by this oppressive atmosphere that they cried in low voices.  PS: Thank you friends!  The book will be finished today!  Work hard on the last few chapters right away.  Thank you for your support along the way!  The new urban book "Failure Life" has been uploaded and has been approved.  You can find it through search and reader information.  I hope my friends will collect, click, and recommend votes.  The more the merrier, I¡¯m shameless and don¡¯t refuse anyone who comes!  The new book¡¯s readership, deputy moderators and forum owners are also being recruited, and we hope that friends will sign up enthusiastically.  You can send me a private message!  Thanks!
