Chapter 234 To Live or to Die, this is a question

Guan Zhuofan believes that Wu Ke reads the will to die early - five to six years before the "corpse admonition"; "Corpse admonition" is just the most suitable excuse for himself to abandon the world.

"Five to six years ago" - that is, in the twelfth to thirteenth year of Tongzhi, what happened that made Wu Keyu feel that he had nothing to love?

This book has mentioned such a thing more than once: At that time, Cheng Lu, the governor of Urumqi stationed in Gansu, feared the enemy like a tiger, and the harsh people were also like a tiger.

Cheng Lu's crime is an out-and-out capital crime, but his backstage is the king of alcohol, and Mu Zong also intends to protect him, but in the end he just drafted a "beheading of prison waiting" - this "waiting" word is basically equivalent to the "death reprieve" in modern criminal law, with this "waiting" word, the capital crime is not a capital crime, and his life must be saved.

In the future, it is not unusual to find a suitable opportunity to "recover".

Wu Keyu, who is a native of Gansu, was excited and indignant, and folded Chen, "Chenglu has ten sins that can be beheaded, and there are five that cannot be slowed down", and shouted, "Please ask the emperor to cut off Chenglu's head first, and hang it on Gao Street to thank the people of Gansu; Then behead the head of the minister, hang it at the door of the Cheng clan, and thank Cheng Lu".

This letter completely angered Mu Zong, thinking that Wu Keyu not only deceived him to be young, but also implied that he was the king of the Emperor, so Mu Zong, who was pro-government at the beginning, Zhang Tianwei, not only did not kill Chenglu, but wanted to kill Wu Keyu.

This is the most ridiculous thing Mu Zong has ever done, and it is the most responsible thing for the country and the nation to invite him to "make a big trip" earlier.

Muzon was furious. The queen mother of the two palaces persuaded each other bitterly and turned a deaf ear; Frightened by Tianwei, the three law divisions trembled, a promise, only Dali Temple Shaoqing Wang Jiabi refused to bend the law, Wu Keyu finally picked up a life. Degraded officials and returned to their hometowns, these will not be repeated.

It should be emphasized that in fact, Wu Keyu did not intend to deceive Mu Zong's youth, let alone accuse Mu Zong of being the king of the Emperor, on the contrary, he thought that he was the son of the Holy Heaven today. It's just that he was blinded by Yu Xing for a while, so he let Cheng Lu go, as long as he watched his own plays, he naturally woke up.

The fierce language of his recital was, firstly, because of his "straightforward" temperament, and he was carried away by anger -- however, no matter how angry he was, it was also aimed at the fact that Cheng Lu was spared death. and not against Muzon himself; The other is also the "pretending to be amazing" used by literati. In order to increase the momentum and power of the text - he writes happily himself, as for whether the audience can accept it, and how much, sorry, it is not considered.

However, I never thought that you were such a "saint tomorrow"!

To use an inappropriate analogy. Like a man and a woman in love, a woman is infatuated with a man and is willing to give everything for him, including her life. However, overnight. suddenly found that the man actually didn't love himself at all, not only did he always be false and wrongful to himself, but he also conspired with Xiao San in secret to kill himself.

The analogy may not be very appropriate, but Wu Keyu, who returned to his hometown after being demoted, and the woman who discovered the truth, the blows and "disillusionment" experienced by the two must be similar.

Guan Zhuofan thought that Wu Keyu's will to die sprouted at this time.

However, Wu Ke read very well that he could not die at this time, let alone use Chenglu's matter to "admonish the corpse", because doing so would be a real "dedication to the king" -- the pen of history is like iron, and it will leave an indelible stain in the history today.

This is by no means his original intention of "to the king Yu Yaoshun".

Also, doing so will definitely arouse Mu Zong's greater anger, Wu Keyu's body must be out of control, all the honors will be deprived and degraded to the end, needless to say, in addition, the children's families will also be greatly implicated.

And that Cheng Lu still can't be killed, Mu Zong's bull temper comes up, and he may be acquitted.

In this way, it is not only Wu Ke who will be slapped in the face, but Zuo Zongtang, who is presiding over the Western Expedition, will also be implicated in some form - Cheng Lu was impeached and dismissed by Zuo Zongtang.

If the chaos is big, there will be ridicule behind him of "not knowing the importance and selling fame and reputation", and it may not be all praise such as "Qiankun has tears in his eyes, and he has a Confucian crown".

Wu Keyu must wait for the moment.

In the fifth year of Guangxu, Mu Zong and Empress Jiashun were blessed with An Huiling, and hundreds of officials were funeral, and there were many "officials who saluted with the Hu", including Wu Keyu. It was this trip, halfway back from Huiling, that Wu Ke read the "corpse admonition".

Wu Keyu chose this trip, this time, and this place to end his life, which has an obvious meaning of "martyrdom"; His testament, the main purpose is to advocate the heir of Mu Zong to take over the throne of Dezong, and there is not a word of criticism of Mu Zong's words, then look left and right, all of them are single-minded, for the "first emperor" to plan for him, in the "first emperor" once wanted to kill him in the background, Wu Ke read this move, more and more loyal and unchangeable, is really "the sun and the moon".

Wu Ke read the so-called "corpse admonition", although it moved the world and frightened the ghosts and gods, but no one was slapped in the face, but instead filled a small loophole for the superior, so his back is not bad.

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces issued an order, "Wu Ke reads his advice to death, is lonely and loyal, and is compassionate to the Ministry of Justice" - after the "resurrection", Wu Ke read was only a six-grade principal, and he did not move until the time of the "corpse admonition".

At the same time, permission was granted to establish a special shrine for Wu Keyu.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is clearly pointed out in the edict that "the successor to the great unification is the heir of Emperor Mu Zongyi".

That is to say, Wu Ke's "exhortation" was approved by the "superiors" and was determined in the Huanghuang Yizhi.

At this point, Wu Keyu's death, although it is a bit "inexplicable", turned out to be "everyone happy", this situation, I really don't know what to say.

Guan Zhuofan came to such a conclusion from this: Wu Ke reads this person, although he is stubborn and not afraid of death, but he will not really fight against the "top", he is a typical character who "eats soft but not hard", the "truth" makes sense, and then give him some face, and even praise him, this kind of person can be subdued.

Also, Wu Keyu is a person with independent thoughts, and his behavior has always been independent. This time, he seemed to be on the side of the Alcohol King, but in the end, except for a small number of ideas that coincided with each other, it was mainly due to Liu Baodi's feelings, Wu Keyu was not the person of the Alcohol King - of course not, the original time and space, it was the Alcohol King who presided over his trial, and he almost died in the hands of the Alcohol King.

Alas, it's a pity that I can't tell you about this matter in the original time and space.

In short, Guan Zhuofan believes that although Wu Ke is now standing on the opposite side of himself, if he deals with the law properly, maybe what wonderful "reaction force" will happen.

Okay, we'll see you at the "Council of Ministers".
