The emperor's personal visit to the minister's mansion was undoubtedly a supreme honor for the courtiers - although Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng were unwilling to appreciate it - because the money and energy spent were too much. Before Kangxi's Luan drove into Shihu Hutong, the roads in Shihu Hutong had to be mated with fried loess and sifted fine sand, and then covered with garnet-red camel hair carpets. When Kangxi's Luan arrived at the mouth of Shihu Hutong, Wu Yuanming's house had to set off three salutes, and at the same time played drums and bells. Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng made a preliminary estimate that it would cost more than 2,000 taels of silver just to welcome Kangxi to their house - Wu Yuanming was so distressed that he burst into tears.

No matter how distressed and shed tears, but there are still some things to do, when Shen Shi first arrived, Princess Jianning, who was dressed up in fancy clothes, led all the maids, servants and guards of Wu Yingxiong's Mansion to stand outside the gate in turn, and even Yao Qisheng, who was taking care of Wu Yuanming, was sent by Princess Jianning to sneak out of the ward, and stood behind Princess Jianning and waited to greet Kangxi. At the second moment of Shen Shi, Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch, ran into the alley quickly and said loudly: "The holy car is coming, and everyone is waiting." With that, Zhang Wanqiang waved the dust in a chic manner and quickly retreated. Princess Jianning hurriedly led Yao Qisheng and everyone in Wu Yingxiong's Mansion to kneel down together, kowtowed, and said, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Immediately afterwards, Wu Yingxiong's house sounded three muffled thunderous cannons, and the silk, bamboo, and piano were about to play together.

Just like Yao Qisheng's analysis of Wu Yuanming, in order to show his 'concern' and 'love' to Wu Sangui's family to the ministers and people of the world, and also to appease Wu Sangui, who was about to lose his beloved son, he wanted to let the whole world know that he came to see his confidant and uncle Wu Yingxiong for the last time with tears, so Kangxi made the pomp of the visit great. The first to enter the alley is the four Nine Dragons Ming Huang crank cover, followed by the Cuihua Zizhi two covers, the twenty handle straight handle Nine Dragons five-color cover, the eight-color pure purple, the eight-color pure red square cover, and then the seventy-two palace fans, sixteen large flags, four gold festivals, four Yi eight flags, one hundred and twenty door flags...... Fortunately, Shihu Hutong is wide and long enough, otherwise these honor guards alone would be able to cloak Shihu Hutong. Rao was like this, when Wei Dongting led dozens of young guards to ride yellow horses with gold saddles into the alley, most of the former honor team was still forced to walk out of the other side of the alley in Shihu Hutong in order to make room for the back.

Yao Qisheng turned his face sideways and peeked at the expressions of Wei Dongting and the others, and saw that the faces of these young guards' dezhi were all beaming and high-spirited, as if this was not with the emperor to visit the sick minister, but out to hunt for spring outings, the wolf who was pinched by Wu Yuanming's testicles was even more smiling, looking at the gate of Wu Yingxiong's Mansion from time to time gritting his teeth, Yao Qisheng smiled in his heart and said secretly: "The villain has a will." ”

After dozens of young guards rolled the saddle and dismounted, Kangxi rode into Shihu Hutong with a seated dragon, Princess Jianning took the lead in saluting, and there was a sudden sound of long live in the alley. Kangxi's dragon chariot drove until it stopped in front of the gate of Wu Yingxiong's mansion, Zhang Wanqiang and Su Malagu took him off the carriage left and right, Kangxi waved his hand again, smiled and said, "Flat." ”

"Long live thanks!" Princess Jianning took the lead in shouting, and then stood up with everyone, Princess Jianning greeted Kangxi with joy on her face, and said with a smile: "The emperor personally visited the concubine's mansion to visit the sick, it is really a blessing for Heshuo's forehead, and the concubine is attached to the forehead to thank the saint for the grace of God, and also to thank the grace of heaven on behalf of the forehead...... The emperor is so gracious, even if he goes to the eighteen hells, he has to be grateful. ”

"Alas, my little aunt is really stupid, no matter how much you hate Wu Yingxiong, you shouldn't show it, her husband is dying and he is smiling so happily, people who don't know still think that Wu Yingxiong was poisoned by you." Kangxi sighed secretly in his heart, and asked with a solemn face: "Auntie, how is Wu Yingxiong's injury?" I have brought four doctors who are proficient in the way of medicine, and if there is still any hope, I can ask them to work harder. ”

"Thank you to the emperor, but it should be useless." Princess Jianning agreed with a smile: "I heard that he has the poison of the sword tree, there is no cure in the world, and dozens of imperial doctors have come these days, all of them are helpless." More than half an hour ago, the poisonous attack on Zhaohui's little hoof did not survive, and now he has lost his breath. Hehe, I heard that the entire Hesheri clan did not allow her to enter the ancestral tomb for burial, which is really happy. ”

It was also Yao Qisheng's bad idea to let the little girl 'cut off' in advance, this old man named Huazi was indeed an old loach who had seen through the various conditions of the world, he was worried that Kangxi and Hui'er would be emotional and extraneous when they saw each other for the last time, so he asked the little girl to take the turtle breath pill in advance to eliminate this hidden danger - but Kangxi was lost for a while. Kangxi sighed in his heart, "Hui'er, you still don't want to see me for the last time." Thinking of this, Kangxi was excited, waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you lead me to see Wu Yingxiong, don't miss the last time I see him." ”

Entering the courtyard of the Wu Mansion, the courtyards of the houses in the Wu Mansion have been hung with white filial piety cloth, and the main hall is placed with two good Nanmu coffins, and several maids from Suofu are crying beside the coffin, and the sad atmosphere is coming. In such an atmosphere, Kangxi quickly put behind the unhappiness of not being able to see Hui'er for the last time, and recalled the things that happened with Wu Yingxiong these days, not to mention the happy hatred in his heart. If it weren't for the hypocritical image of the benevolent monarch and the holy lord, Kangxi really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh to celebrate the tragic situation of his rival and political enemy.

"Your Majesty, please come here." Princess Jianning smiled and led Kangxi to Wu Yingxiong's study, explaining: "Your Majesty, Efu has been living in this study since he was poisoned and unconscious, and he has never left the study again. Kangxi nodded, Wei Dongting, Cao Yin, Wolf Tan and Mu Zixu and other henchmen and guards rushed into the study, carefully checking whether there was any danger in the study, at that moment, Yao Qisheng, who was following behind, raised his heart to his throat - there are no guards in Wu Yingxiong's study anymore, if these guards who have a deep hatred with Wu Yingxiong suddenly give Wu Yingxiong a punch or a knife, then Wu Yingxiong, who pretends to be unconscious, must be exposed!

…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

Wei Dongting and others entered the study to check that it was only half a cup of tea, but for Yao Qisheng, this time was longer than the ten years that Shunzhi sent him to the icy and snowy Mohe to fill the army, fortunately, Wei Dongting and others had been instructed by Kangxi beforehand, and did not take the opportunity to Wu Yuanming who was lying on the hospital bed, but just spit on Wu Yuanming's bedside, and then went out to report to Kangxi that everything was normal in the room. Only then did Kangxi enter the study with the support of Aunt Su Mala and Zhang Wanqiang, and saw his uncle Wu Yingxiong for the last time. Yao Qisheng wanted to go in with him, but was stopped by Princess Jianning, which made the heart of the old Huazi hang again.

The study was full of medicinal smell, and Wu Yuanming, whose face was carefully painted with blue and gray paint, lay quietly on the hospital bed, motionless, as if he had lost his breath, seeing such a situation, Kangxi's heart was as sweet as eating honey, staring at Wu Yuanming for a long time and refusing to speak. But Princess Jianning said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, don't you bring a few imperial doctors?" Let them figure out how to wake up and see if they can get him to talk to you again. ”

"Forget it, such a dog thief, letting him wake up will only make me more disgusting." The study was full of Kangxi's cronies except for Princess Jianning, and Kangxi had no scruples when he spoke, and snorted coldly: "I am worried that Wu Sangui has not killed him, and I have let him run rampant in the capital for a while, so I wanted to solve Aobai and then clean up this jumping clown, but I didn't expect Li Yuliang to do it first, it was really cheap for him." But it's okay, you don't have to look at this kid's ugly face in the future, and Wu Sangui, the old boy, has nothing to say. ”

"Your Majesty, since this Wu Yingxiong is dead, and Wu Sangui's old thief has no scruples, will he raise an army to rebel against our Aixin Jueluo family?" Princess Jianning spoke without the slightest scruples, and said viciously: "Don't bring Wu Yingqi, the second son of Wu Sangui's old thief, and let him take Wu Yingxiong as a hostage." ”

"Judging by Wu Sangui's various actions, it is only a matter of time before he rebels." Kangxi sneered: "But I'm not afraid of him, as long as I cut off the dog thief and stabilize the north, I can free up my hands to clean up their Wu family." I don't believe it, with the strength of the whole country, I can't beat him Wu Sangui's two Yunnan and Guizhou, which are short of food? ! My 200,000 Eight Banner Iron Cavalry and more than 900,000 Green Battalions can't wipe out Wu Sangui's 30,000 horses?! ”

No one in the study spoke anymore, Princess Jianning, Su Malagu, Wei Dongting and others were all full of enthusiasm, imagining the scene of the Qing court's million-strong army crushing Wu Sangui's army into powder—what a joyful thing that was? And Kangxi walked to Wu Yuanming's bedside, and suddenly punched Wu Yuanming on the lower abdomen, Wu Yuanming, who was pretending to be unconscious, was almost screamed out by this - if it wasn't for Wu Yuanming biting his tongue tightly in time, he was afraid that he would have screamed and sat up straight.

"Dog thief, traitor!" Kangxi scolded at the 'unconscious' Wu Yuanming, and scolded viciously: "What do you say that Ningyuan Mansion is to control the flood, I only learned this morning that Wu Sangui found a super large iron mine in Ningyuan Mansion!" It is estimated that more iron is produced every year than the entire Jiangnan! Wu Yingxiong, dog thief! I've fallen on you again! ”

"Traitor!" Wei Dongting, Su Malagu and others scrambled to scold, Wei Dongting even choked and pulled out his waist knife, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this dog thief is about to go to see the king of Hades, let the slave send him on the last ride, and give the master this evil breath!" ”

"Forget it, let this dog thief fend for himself." Kangxi shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "I and Aobai will decide the winner, and it will be in the past few days, don't make any extraneous branches." After a while, other people came in and saw that there was a wound on his body, and if it was spread out, it would cause slander, and it would be another big trouble for Wu Sangui to ask in the future. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines want to ask the emperor for a favor." Princess Jianning timidly interjected, and after getting Kangxi's permission, Princess Jianning said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although the concubine and this Wu Yingxiong are nominal husband and wife, they have never been husband and wife. After the death of this Wu Yingxiong, the concubine wanted to ask the emperor to point the concubine to a marriage again, and this time the emperor must point the concubine to the banner man or the Mongolian family, and the concubine really didn't want to marry into the lowly Han family. ”

"Damn, just your ugly appearance, the Han people still don't want to marry you!" Wu Yuanming scolded in his heart. Kangxi replied after a little consideration: "Auntie, it's not that I don't understand your feelings, but this Wu Yingxiong has a special identity, and if you remarry as soon as he dies, I won't be able to explain it to the world." You should wait a few more years, it is better to wait until I destroy the three feudatories, and I will definitely find you a good family. Princess Jianning was disappointed for a while, and regardless of the many people watching next to her, she actually punched and kicked Wu Yuanming to vent the anger in her heart. beat Wu Yuanming and scolded in his heart again, "Damn, stinky **, Lao Jin really didn't write you wrong!" ”

"Okay, I should also go, and in a while I will ask the Internal Affairs Office to send some ginseng and deer antler velvet, which can be regarded as a reward for this dog thief!" Kangxi punched Wu Yuanming in the lower abdomen again, turned his head and walked out of the door, saying as he walked: "I don't have time to waste here here as I jump the clown, wait for me to calm down Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, and then dig him out and crush his bones and scatter ashes!" Wei Dongting and the others glared at Wu Yuanming with hatred, and followed Kangxi out tightly, and the tired Princess Jianning also went out, leaving Wu Yuanming on the hospital bed secretly in his heart, "Damn, is Lao Tzu lacking virtue and doing too much, and someone will beat me up if he pretends to be dead?" ”

Let's not mention that Wu Yuanming, who was full of evil, felt sorry for himself in the study, but after Kangxi went out with a group of eunuchs, palace maids and guards, when he passed Yao Qisheng who was kneeling on the side of the road, Kangxi stopped and asked coldly: "Yao Qisheng, your righteous son is dying, what are you going to do?" Do you want to go back to Yunnan, or stay in Beijing? Do you want to enter the court as an official again? ”

Yao Qisheng knew that Kangxi was showing favor to himself for the last time, and if he missed this opportunity, he would always be Kangxi's enemy. But Yao Qisheng still raised his head and replied loudly: "Thank you for the emperor's love, but the grass people are old and mediocre, and they are useless. ”

"I hope so." Kangxi replied in a yin voice, and the implication was naturally - if you Yao Qisheng follow Wu Sangui to mess around, don't blame me for being polite. After that, Kangxi strode away from Yao Qisheng, but when Kangxi was about to walk out of the East Cross Courtyard where Wu Yuanming's study was located, Yao Qisheng's heart-rending cry suddenly came from the study, "My son, why did you go like this?" Why did you leave me, a lonely old man, and let my white-haired man send a black-haired man? ”

"Wu Yingxiong is dead?" Kangxi couldn't help but stop his steps, and quickly ran back to the study where Wu Yingxiong was, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yao Qisheng pounce on Wu Yingxiong and cry. And the blue-gray on Wu Yuanming's face brought the unique miserable white of a dead man, Kangxi subconsciously put his hand under Wu Yingxiong's nose, and found that Wu Yingxiong had no snort, and when he touched Wu Yingxiong's heart again, he found that Wu Yingxiong's heart also stopped beating......

"Your Majesty, the pulse, breathing, and heartbeat of the prince of Pingxi have stopped, and he has passed away." The four imperial doctors brought by Kangxi successively reported to Kangxi. Wu Yingxiong, who had been entangled with Kangxi like a maggot on his tarsal bones for several months, died in front of him, and Kangxi suddenly had no joy in his heart, but a feeling of loss and helplessness, and more of a sense of relief......

After a long time, Kangxi said miserably: "Allocate three thousand taels of silver, and the Ministry of Rites will send someone to assist in holding the memorial, let's go." ”

According to the history of the Qing Dynasty, on May 17 of the eighth year of Kangxi, Wu Yingxiong, the son of the king of Pingxi, was poisoned by assassination, died of poison, and died in the ancestral house.
