The most fundamental reason why the Qing Dynasty was listed as the first target of suspicion is because.
It is not an easy task to place a dead soldier as an assassin next to Wu Sangui.
The Qing Dynasty had a profound background, and Wu Sangui had been under the Qing Dynasty's banner for more than ten years. It would not be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to place a dead soldier next to him.
But in the Ming Dynasty, it only took a few years since Zhu Hongyu started his career.
It only took two or three years since the Ming army officially began its Northern Expedition to attack the Central Plains...
In such a short period of time, Wu Sangui didn't think that Ming Dynasty could place dead soldiers around him!
In comparison, Wu Sangui was more inclined to believe that the assassin was sent by the Qing court!
But not necessarily!
What if Daming is playing a counter-trick?
An assassin was sent to expose his identity and assassinate Wu Sangui.
Then he led Wu Sangui to become suspicious of the Qing court, and made Wu Sangui also raise troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty...
This is not impossible!
So, I can only say that people who play politics have dirty hearts!
"Everyone, let's talk about it. Who sent this assassin?"
Wu Sangui squinted his eyes, with a hint of murderous intent in his voice, and the annoyance in his heart continued to ferment.
The anger after being assassinated is also constantly growing!
As long as you find the right moment, it will explode completely.
Anyone affected by Wu Sangui's anger will be torn into pieces.
Wu Sangui had some guesses about who sent the assassin.
But he did not draw arbitrary conclusions, but sought the opinions of his subordinates.
Liu Xuanchu stood up and said.
"My lord, doesn't that assassin claim to be a member of the Tiandihui?"
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, then shook his head and said.
“It’s just because you claim to be so untrustworthy!”
Fang Guangchen stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that it may have been done by Beifang..."
Fang Guangchen, like Wu Sangui, also suspected that the Qing Dynasty was responsible.
But he didn't say it clearly!
Because he is still not sure about Wu Sangui's attitude.
Should we fight against the Qing Dynasty, or should we continue to slug it out, swinging from side to side...
Therefore, in his words, he used the north to refer to the Qing Dynasty!
Wu Sangui said with a dark face and a slight nod.
"There is no need to hide it, just tell the truth, I also think it was the Qing Dynasty that did it!"
"This method of framing others is too low-level. It only takes a dead soldier to make me and the Ming Dynasty turn against each other."
"Hahaha, do you really think that this king has no brains?!"
Wu Sangui's words were full of fire.
Although he is fine now, the danger of the dagger stabbing him and the feeling of his life hanging by a thread still make Wu Sangui feel lingering fear.
Wu Guogui, who had always followed Wu Sangui's orders and was responsible for commanding the most elite Yiding cavalry under Wu Sangui, said.
"Fuck his grandma!"
"The Tatars who are living like shit dare to send people to assassinate the prince, let's rebel now!"
"As long as the prince gives the order, General Mo will take people to fetch the head of Yunnan Governor Xiong Yukun!"
"Take his dog head as a sacrificial flag and raise an army!"
Wu Guogui's words were full of murderous intent. He glared with a pair of tiger eyes, took out the saber from his waist and slapped it on the table to express his stance.
Wu Sangui frowned, then scolded.
"Reckless man!"
"Where is this place? Who the hell told you to draw a sword!"
"keep it!"
Wu Guogui was scolded by Wu Sangui. He was a little embarrassed, but he didn't take it seriously. He just took back his saber, stepped aside and remained silent.
Wu Yingqi on the side also expressed his position.
"Father, my eldest brother and nephew are still under the control of the Qing court in the capital!"
"Even if it is for the sake of my eldest brother and nephew, please be patient for now!"
Although Wu Yingqi wished that Wu Yingxiong would be killed by the Manchus as soon as possible so that he could naturally inherit the position of Prince Pingxi.
Later, he can inherit his father's army, property and political legacy.
However, in front of Wu Sangui, he couldn't show it!
Whether voluntarily or forced, he must behave like a good brother and uncle in front of Wu Sangui.
And most importantly, a good son!
Historically, in his last years, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty originally intended to pass the throne to his favorite son, King Li Tai of Wei.
However, because Li Tai was being clever, he said "Kill your son to pass on your younger brother" in front of Li Shimin.
This made Li Shimin give up the idea of passing the throne to Li Tai and chose the youngest Li Zhi.
After all, tiger poison does not eat its seeds. You say in front of me that you are killing your son to pass on your younger brother, do you think I am a fool?
You are such a piss-poor kid. When I die, I have so many sons. I’m afraid they will all be buried in front of me, right?
Although Li Shimin dotes on Li Tai, he can still clearly decide which is more important than one son or multiple sons.
The lesson is right in front of us, Wu Yingqi will not be stupid.
Wu Sangui nodded slightly when he heard this. Even though the anger on his face was still there, when he looked at Wu Yingqi, he showed more approval.
At this moment, someone from outside came in to report.
"Prince Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and others in the capital have all been released by the imperial court!"
"Now everyone has arrived outside Kunming City, and they are accompanied by angels sent by the imperial court to deliver the message!"
When Wu Sangui heard this, he frowned and called him a good guy.
Originally, he just thought that the Qing court was most likely responsible for this incident, but the Ming Dynasty could not clear away the suspicion.
But now Wu Sangui is sure!
The person who assassinated him was sent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
This thing is gone!
Good guy, I’m pretty good at the Qing routine!
The front leg sent someone to assassinate him and put the blame on the Ming Dynasty. The back leg put his son back and sold him a good deal.
It is estimated that the so-called angel came to convey the order to Wu Sangui, asking him to attack the Ming Dynasty!
A feeling of shame and anger at being fooled and despised brewed in his chest.
Therefore, Wu Sangui was not happy when he heard that the Manchus had released his son and grandson.
He just responded in a muffled voice and spoke.
"Bring people in!"
"The king is waiting here."
After the ordering soldiers exited, the noise in the hall resumed.
"Your Majesty, what does Qing Dynasty mean?"
Fang Guangchen asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, isn't it clear that the Qing Dynasty is treating us like monkeys?"
Liu Xuanchu also spoke.
Seeing that his two important advisers said this, Wu Sangui stopped hiding and said with a sneer.
“The Qing Dynasty’s plan is so clever!”
"It's a pity that I am not a fool!"
"..."
Not long after, Wu Yingxiong, Princess Jianning, and Wu Yingxiong's son Wu Shifan entered the lobby surrounded by a group of people.
Wu Yingxiong plopped and knelt in front of Wu Sangui, his big face instantly covered with tears.
"Father, my son is back!"
"From now on, my son will finally be able to fulfill his filial piety under your knees!"
"..."
Princess Jianning and Wu Shifan also knelt in front of Wu Sangui and kowtowed to Wu Sangui.
Even just now, Wu Sangui felt so unhappy and dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty.
Looking at my crying son in front of me and my well-behaved daughter-in-law and grandson, I felt very relieved at this moment!
Although there is still resentment towards the Qing Dynasty in my heart, the level of resentment has been reduced a lot unconsciously.
Wu Sangui stood up from the chair, and with slightly trembling hands, he helped Wu Yingxiong up from the ground.
A pair of big hands with wrinkled skin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Wu Yingxiong's eyes and said softly.
