For such a long time, Wu Shigong has always been very kind to the outside world. Not to mention his old subordinates in the Runing Army, but also the new civil and military officials who have taken refuge, Wu Shigong has always taken good care of him and never used harsh methods, let alone
It hurt the officer's life.
But no one knows that Wu Shigong was a ruthless gang leader in his previous life. And 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. And Wu Shigong had just arrived home.
When he was fighting virtue, and 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 why it creates the illusion of "benevolence" is simply that in the past, Wu Shigong's political skills were relatively good, so that
It is difficult for others to touch Wu Shigong's reverse scale.
After a brief moment of panic, Xue Yongli calmed down a little. He was very familiar with Wu Shigong's temper, so he used family ties as the theme and struggled one last time: "Your Majesty! The first person I served was the Marquis.
From now on, I will follow you, my uncle, and I will also serve the young marquis in the future. I have always been loyal and loyal, and I will never dare to commit the following crime."
"Hey——!" Wu Shigong sighed, beckoned Xue Yongli to sit down, and then said: "How can I not know these? Moreover, Uncle Yongli and Mr. Deng both took the greatest credit for the founding of the Daping Dynasty. Not to mention
He said that this military remonstrance has nothing to do with Uncle Yongli."
"But your Majesty..." Hearing what Wu Shigong said, Xue Yongli became even more anxious. He knew that Wu Shigong could say such words, which meant that he had made up his mind. And Xue Yongli also knew that Wu Shigong was a person who found it difficult to change his mind.
Wu Shigong raised his right hand and interrupted 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 it out. After more than ten years, there are not many left alive.
Already."
"At that time, there were 200 people who accompanied me and rushed into the Holy Spirit Society camp. Now there are only 47 people left. Too many people have died. Too many people have died. But if you do this, how can I do it?
what to do?"
As he spoke, Wu Shigong's voice began to get louder: "When I was reading history books and saw Ming Taizu killing heroes, I thought it was absurd and even a little ridiculous. At that time, I secretly vowed: I will share wealth with you.
I will never kill anyone indiscriminately. But what will be the result? Hey——! Is Uncle Yongli willing to see me killing all the civil and military heads in the court, with blood flowing like rivers?"
After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Xue Yongli slumped down on the chair and looked much older. At this time, he could no longer give any excuse. It was obvious that Wu Shigong needed to remove the "thorn in the flesh" of Xue Yongli.
", 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 just stated the conditions calmly and coldly:
"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 to let others appreciate Uncle Yongli's kindness."
"Prince Lin'er's position will never be changed. When I wait a hundred years, the Duke of Song Dynasty will be cared for by at least two generations of kings. He will enjoy a hundred years of glory."
"I like the emperor's eldest grandson born from Zicha very much. I will register her as the crown prince's concubine. Currently, there is no crown prince. The emperor's eldest grandson has the hope of inheriting the throne. Even if the prince's concubine gives birth to a legitimate grandson in the future, I will also
I will make the emperor's eldest grandson the King of Wu and let him live in the south of the Yangtze River. All my royal properties in the south of the Yangtze River will also belong to him, so that he will be rich and noble 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 Song Guogong's mansion and got on his carriage. He did not let the carriage start immediately. He just closed his eyes and lay on the soft couch of the carriage to relax. After a while, there was a burst of wailing from Song Guogong's palace.
There was a sound, and then Ye Zhong also held two empty wine bottles and led a team of guards out of Song Guogong's mansion.
Seeing Ye Zhong leaving Song Guogong's mansion, Wu Shigong knocked on the carriage compartment: "Drive!"
Wu Shigong had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. He just wanted to let everyone know that he was the one who killed Xue Yongli. This was also the most severe warning to all civil and military officials, warning them not to get involved in the royal heir apparent.
Go in.
Indeed, Xue Yongli was a very innocent victim, but if Xue Yongli was not killed, Wu Shigong would have carried out a large-scale purge of the two civil and military factions involved in the seizure of the royal family. Compared with the turmoil caused to the court, sacrificing Xue Yongli was the smallest loss.
Therefore, many of the king's choices are so ruthless.
Another point 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, as he is now the chief minister, he can only be in power for ten years at most, so he has no influence on the royal family.
There is not much threat. As the leader of the Xue family generals, Xue Yongli has his disciples and disciples all over the army. Wu Shigong is afraid that after Xue Chenglin succeeds to the throne, Xue Yongli will achieve great success and shake up the master. Rather than creating a threat in the future, it is better to deal with this now
Problem solved.
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 were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and groups of soldiers had begun patrolling the streets. Outside the offices of Zhang Zhiheng and other officials who were close to Wu Chengying, there were also people gathered around.
Teams of soldiers. These officials have been placed under house arrest in the mansion, waiting for Wu Shigong to come and take care of them.
But Wu Shigong, who had just killed Xue Yongli, felt that he was also very tired. It was one thing to use cruel methods, but his own mood was another matter. After all, Wu Shigong and Xue Yongli had been together through thick and thin for more than ten years.
They have deep feelings. And now Xue Yongli is executed by Wu Shigong himself. How can 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 have 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 of the concubines and children were so frightened by the oppressive atmosphere that they cried softly.
