Chapter 425: Righteousness is awe-inspiring

Lu Fatzi gave an order, and ordered all states and governments along the way to receive their father-in-law and their princesses, so that his wife and father-in-law could eat, drink, have fun and be rewarded, and let his wife and father-in-law be punished if they were not satisfied. 【Reading.com】

Then naturally, Wu Guogui and Wu Xiaosuo's father and daughter family were on the way north to the capital, and naturally received the most warm and grand reception by the local civil and military officials at all levels of the Fat Army. It was even more smoky when he said it.

And then more naturally, Wu Guogui's family's northward speed, naturally a little slow, from Changde to Yanjing under normal circumstances more than 20 days, Wu Guogui's family walked for almost a month, Leng is just stepping into the territory of Zhili.

The purpose of Lu Fatzi's change of method is to use the lackeys to drag the troublesome old man's northward footsteps, the purpose is self-evident, that is, to buy time for Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, the unlucky brothers-in-law, so that they can hurry to dissociate the overly powerful Huguang Wu Army, so that some dangerous elements will be exposed in advance, so as not to recruit this team that is too loyal to Wu Laohan to surrender, leaving hidden dangers, destroying the unity of the Fat Army, and further affecting Lu Fatzi's ultimate plan to usurp the throne and become emperor.

Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, the two difficult brothers, of course, did not disappoint Lu Fatzi, after receiving the news that the Fat Army deliberately leaked Wu Guogui went north to negotiate and merge into the Fat Army, Xia Guoxiang was so frightened that he almost peed his crotch, and couldn't wait to get Guo Zhuangtu's consent, and immediately divided his troops to station in Taoyuan to monitor the Changde Wu Army, and quickly sent a spy dog spy to infiltrate the Huguang Wu Army's controlled area, and wantonly spread rumors that Lu Fatzi was trying to usurp the throne and claim the emperor and try to wipe out the Wu clan, so that the Wu clan in the Wu Army in Huguang was suspicious of Lu Fatzi. Sabotage the plan to merge the Wu army of Huguang into the Wu army.

Receiving the news that Xia Guoxiang sent it with a six-hundred-mile expedited horse, Guo Zhuangtu was also frightened, and quickly used the spies lurking in the Wu clan team to act as a dog spy, and went all out to spread the rumor that Lu Fatzi had annexed Huguang and Wu Jun without any good intentions, and at the same time, Guo Zhuangtu took advantage of the large number of family members of the Wu clan generals in his hands, pretending to send envoys to negotiate a truce with the Wu clan generals, and took the opportunity to wantonly spread rumors and slander, spreading rumors that Lu Fatzi was vainly trying to claim the emperor and usurp the throne and kill the Wu clan. I hope that the generals of the Wu clan will see the evil face of Lu Fatzi clearly, and they will not be fooled, burying the Great Zhou Jiangshan and the small life of the Wu clan.

Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang are also helpless, once the Huguang Wu Army is merged into the Fat Army under the leadership of Wu Guogui, the Fat Army can immediately wedge into the connection of their two teams, cut off the connection between the two main forces of the Honghua Imperial Court, and immediately gain the strategic initiative. So there was no way, in order to protect themselves, Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, regardless of whether they noticed the strange situation or not, had to follow the pace that Lu Fatzi indirectly arranged for them.

At this time, a thing happened that made Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu overjoyed, and the famous Jiangnan literati Zha Jizuo actually organized thousands of Jiangnan literati to jointly persuade him to persuade Lu Fatzi to ascend the throne and claim the emperor on the grounds that Lu Fatzi had covered the world and the destiny of heaven, and left the Honghua Imperial Court to go it alone and establish the Dayue Empire. Hearing this news, Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu's brothers-in-law of course laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths, knowing that Lu Fatzi was self-inflicted and dug a pit to bury himself, this time it was difficult for the Wu clan to remember that he was suspicious.

During this period, a major event occurred on the land of the Central Plains, the Northern Expedition led by Gao Dejie, the chief general of the Fat Army, spent more than three months of hard fighting, first broke through the two David cities of Shengjing, Liaoyang and Tieling, and then defeated the reinforcements transferred from the hometown of Tunguska by the Qing Dynasty, defeated the reinforcements borrowed from the Horqin family by the old witch of Xiaozhuang, and finally rejected the request of the old witch of Xiaozhuang to surrender, and finally broke the new nest of the Qing court - Shengjing! Recaptured the city of Shenyang, China, which had been occupied by the Eight Banners of the Mites for 47 years.

When the Shengjing City Pool was about to be breached, the old witch of Xiaozhuang was unable to escape because of old age and illness, so she had to hand over the eldest son of Kang Mazi Yinlu to the Shengjing general Boneibaturu, and ordered Boneibaturu to carry Yinyu, who had just turned six years old, to break through and flee to the hometown of Tunguska, and then the old witch of Xiaozhuang worshiped the old wild boar skin and yellow stewed chicken in the Chongzheng Hall of the Shengjing Palace, and finally hanged herself. But what the old witch of Xiaozhuang never dreamed of was that the Unei Baturu, who was not born as a slave with four surnames, had long been accustomed to the comfortable life of Shengjing, and was unwilling to give up his family property and fields in Shengjing, and was even more unwilling to go back to his hometown of Tunguska to suffer hardships and suffering, so he chose to sacrifice Yinhe and Mites Qingyuxi to the Fat Army in exchange for the Fat Army's extrajudicial mercy to him.

After the capture of Shengjing, Gao Dejie used the excuse of Shengjing military and civilians to assist the Qing army to defend the city, killed a large number of fat army soldiers, and ordered the slaughter of the city. The order was conveyed, and there was a bloody storm in Shengjing City, and the 70,000 fat soldiers let go of their hands and feet to slash and kill, and killed the mites in Shengjing City, the Han Dynasty, the Meng Dynasty and the Chao Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Dejie dug up the Zhaoling and Fuling in Shengjing according to Lu Fatzi's request, dug up the corpses of Nuer Hachi and Huang Taiji and whipped the corpses, and then followed Lu Fatzi's tricks to treat Kang Mazi, burned the bones of the two old Jiannu into ashes, crushed them and mixed them into clay, and also burned them into dozens of wild boar skin toilets and Qing Taizong toilets, and sent them back to Yanjing together with Yinhe to ask Lu Fatzi for credit, and the tombs of Jiannu magnates buried in Zhaoling and Fuling were all excavated by the Fat Army, and none of them were spared, and all the bones were also uniformly calcined. Mixed together and burned hundreds of mite clear brand toilets, leaving a number of valuable properties to future generations in China.

Why did the Fat Scout Army leave behind a number of valuable assets in this way? Friends, just look at these advertising slogans in later generations.

"Nine-nine-eight! Ninety-nine-eight! As long as ninety-nine-eight! Wild boar skin toilet to take home! As long as ninety-nine-eight! ”

"Eight hearts and eight arrows, diamond quality! Authentic Emperor Taiji Toilet! The Lu clan will be authoritatively certified! China Imperial Pacific Insurance Company Quality Insurance! ”

"Dear, the authentic mite cleaning toilet is guaranteed to contain the ashes of thirty-one mite cleaning magnates. Dear, I'm sorry, the small store does not provide free shipping, only quality, pro can take a look at my double crown credit, love the third brother for many years, only sell authentic mite clear toilets! …… Please wait, dear, someone knocked on the door to check the water meter, and I will be back soon. ”

The fat army finally broke the news of the mite Qing nest, and sent it back to Yanjing together with Yinhe, Lu Fatzi had to hold a grand celebration ceremony in the Yanjing Ming Tombs, in front of the tomb of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged Yinhe with his own hands with a bowstring, and comforted the spirit of the great emperor of the five Northern Expeditions, and finally achieved the greatest long-cherished wish of his life, and completely eliminated the Qing court with his own hands, and avenged the blood revenge for thousands of compatriots who were slaughtered and enslaved.

Because of the achievement of this greatest long-cherished wish, when bowing to Zhu Di's mausoleum, Lu Fatzi couldn't help but cry loudly again, tears flowed into tears, and asked Zhu Di's mausoleum in a choked voice: "Emperor Chengzu, please ask your spirit in the sky for me to ask the ancestors and ancestors of China, my descendants are worthy of their pride?" ”

The next day, Wu Guogui's family finally arrived in Yanjing, Lu Fatzi and Wu Xiaosu, the couple who gathered less and left more, met again, so naturally they had to hug their heads and cry, but Wu Guogui was furious and asked Lu Fatzi why he didn't wait for him to arrive in Yanjing and then hold a ceremony to celebrate his ancestors? Fat Lu was speechless, and was scolded by his father-in-law, who was the only one who was afraid.

Seeing Lu Fatzi's timid appearance in front of Wu Guogui, Shang Wanyan pursed her lips, extremely jealous of Wu Xiaosu's dominance of the position of the wife, and smiled dazzlingly, gloating and wishing that Lu Fatzi and Wu Guogui would completely turn their faces. Little Pepper Huang Xifeng turned pale, because Little Pepper found that Wu Xiaosuo, who was already twenty-six, was much more beautiful than her, and Little Pepper was inevitably worried that her status as a favorite concubine would not be guaranteed. Only Lu Fatzi's two Mongolian concubines feel that it doesn't matter, anyway, they are both soy sauce characters in political marriages, and there is not much difference between more soy sauce and less soy sauce.

After scolding his unscrupulous son-in-law who had never looked pleasing to the eye, Wu Guogui asked Lu Fatzi to immediately fulfill his promise, swear never to usurp the throne before Wu Laohan annihilated the spirit, and then hand over the defense of Gyeonggi to himself, and he himself could go to the generals of the Wu clan who stayed in Huguang and let them lead Huguang to merge into the Fat Army. Of course, the fat man Lu, who was holding back a stomach full of bad water to make the old man suspicious, of course refused, on the pretext that it was not a zodiac auspicious today, Wu Guogui's family came from afar to work hard, and asked Wu Guogui to wait patiently for a few days, pick a zodiac auspicious and then hold a grand ceremony, and then solemnly swear in front of Wu Laohan's spiritual seat.

In order to appease the grumpy old man, Lu Fatzi unexpectedly fulfilled the most important one of his promises, and canonized Wu Guogui as the governor of Fengtai in public with the honor of the Great Zhou Holy Decree and the Order of the King of Yue, and also named Wu Guogui's son Wu Shiqun as the general of the Miyun garrison, and let Wu Guogui personally take charge of the most important Fengtai garrison in the Gyeonggi area, and let the brother-in-law go to monitor the important Miyun garrison for the Wu clan.

Seeing that Lu Fatzi showed such sincerity and the reason was reasonable, Wu Guogui's doubts were suddenly swept away, not only agreed to Lu Fatzi's request to pick another Zodiac auspicious saying, but also rarely had a good face for Lu Fatzi, patted Lu Fatzi's shoulder and praised his son-in-law for being really loyal, worthy of being the grandson-in-law personally selected by Emperor Gao of the Great Zhou. And Lu Fatzi's henchmen and lackeys looked at each other, not understanding why Lu Fatzi wanted to fulfill such an important promise, and suspected that Lu Fatzi planned to follow the example of King Cao Ying Zhou Wen and leave the throne to his son, and the rumors began to spread within the Fat Man Army.

Although many lackeys and accomplices resolutely opposed, worried that Lu Fatzi would fall into more infamy if he usurped the throne in the future, Lu Fatzi still decided that twenty days later, on the 28th day of the seventh lunar month of the third year of Honghua, the auspicious zodiac auspicious said, a ceremony to worship the heavens in the Temple of Heaven in Yanjing, in front of the civil and military officials of the Fat Army and the spiritual position of Wu Lao Han Zhan, Wu Lao Han's most trusted son Wu Guogui personally supervised, and swore in public that he would never usurp the throne. It will not harm the Wu clan who voluntarily surrendered and submitted. Although Wu Guogui felt that the time was a little late, he couldn't stand the of the fat army Qin Tianjian's Venus into the fire, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

In the absence of war, twenty days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Fat Army. On the day of July 28th, the fat army of civil and military officials who can pull out gathered in the Temple of Heaven, the middle of the Temple of Heaven is for the word heaven and earth, and below it is for the spiritual seat of the Emperor Wu Lao Han of the Great Zhou Taizu Gao, full of calves, sheep, pigs, jade, silk and Deng, Bang, Gui, Zhu, Bean, Jue, Zun, Huan and other offerings and sacrificial vessels, Lu Fatzi wore the Ming Dynasty royal costume improved into the nine-clawed dragon flat yellow robe, holding the jade gui on the Temple of Heaven, kneeling and worshiping the heaven and earth and Wu Laohan annihilating the spiritual seat, by the Great Zhou Yue Wangfu Cao palm print Huang Ji personally read the sacrificial text, asking the gods of heaven and earth as evidence, Overseer Lu Fatzi vowed never to usurp the throne.

Finally, when Huang Ji finished reading the awkward and long sacrificial text, the drum music sounded, Lu Fatzi got up under the support of Xiao Erlang and Huang Ji, stood in the middle of the Temple of Heaven, and said loudly in front of hundreds of civil and military officials of the Fat Army, tens of thousands of altar guards and Wu Guogui: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Great Zhou, all the soldiers of the Great Zhou, this king is now saying to worship the gods of heaven and earth, the spiritual position of the first emperor, not for anything else, just because of the high power of this king, the regent is in charge of the dynasty, the world suspects that this king has the heart of arrogance, has the intention of usurping the throne, and there are villains who slander in every way, and the traitors make things difficult. This king is indistinguishable and suffers from it. ”

Speaking of this, Fat Lu paused and shouted in the loudest voice: "Today, this king swears in public in this temple of heaven, and invites the gods of heaven and earth, the heroic spirit of the emperor, and the common people of the world to witness together, unless the Yanjing Desheng Gate collapses by itself, and the Temple of Heaven cracks and springs, this king will never be the emperor!" If this king violates his oath, God will punish him! Annihilation! The subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty and thousands of people can cut the king's life alive and destroy the sky! ”

"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Tens of thousands of civil and military officials, soldiers and ordinary people of the fat army kowtowed together, singing in unison Fat Chitose, as an elder, Wu Guogui also kowtowed to his son-in-law three times with sincerity, knowing that since the son-in-law said such an oath on such an occasion, the possibility of breaking the oath has been very small, and even if this unworthy son-in-law is dictatorial in the future, the throne must be the descendant of his father-in-law Wu Lao Han.

After Lu Fatzi finished speaking, it was definitely the most shameless oath in his life, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens ended quickly, and Lu Fatzi, who was sweating from the sun, walked down the Temple of Heaven, walked straight in front of Wu Guogui, and asked with a wry smile: "Father-in-law, now you can believe that your son-in-law has no intention of usurping the throne, right?" ”

Wu Guogui nodded, patted Lu Fatzi on the shoulder again, and said to Lu Fatzi in a rare and pleasant tone: "Virtuous son-in-law, father-in-law admits that I did misunderstand you before, virtuous son-in-law, please rest assured, my father-in-law will immediately write to Huguang's Great Zhou army, and let them merge into the Yue Wangfu and accept your command and reorganization." ”

"Thank you father-in-law, and please rest assured that after the Great Zhou generals in Huguang change banners, the son-in-law will definitely treat them well." Fat Lu also nodded, and asked with a worried expression: "But father-in-law, don't blame the son-in-law for being too careful, there are so many Great Zhou troops in Huguang, can they smoothly change banners and accept the reorganization?" Will there be any accidents that will give Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang a chance to take advantage of the two traitors? ”

"Of course not." Wu Guogui smiled lightly: "The Great Zhou army in Huguang is a loyal and brave man of the Great Zhou court from top to bottom, and they are loyal to Emperor Taizu, since you have proven that you have no heart to be disobedient, they will naturally follow the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao and accept your reorganization and command." ”

Lu Fatzi nodded with admiration on his face, and quietly gave Yao Qisheng a look, so that Yao Qisheng sent a signal, Wu Guogui didn't notice it, but said to Lu Fatzi again: "There are also Wu Zhimao, Wu Guozhu and Wu Yingqi in Hanzhong, Sichuan, you can also rest assured, my father-in-law and they are a lifelong friendship, as long as my father-in-law sends a letter to explain the situation to them, you will send a messenger to appease and integrate them, and it will be very ...... to successfully grasp it." ”

"Six hundred miles in an emergency! Six hundred miles expedited! 600 Miles Expedited β€”β€”β€”β€”! ”

The sudden sound interrupted Wu Guogui's boasting, and when Lu Fatzi, Wu Guogui and others turned their heads in surprise to look at the direction where the sound came from, they saw a messenger covered in dust and with a small red flag on his back riding a fast horse, rushing towards this side like a gallop, and Yao Qisheng hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, it's a red flag, there is an emergency military situation, go down and take a look." ”

Lu Fatzi nodded in agreement, Yao Qisheng rushed over quickly, stopped the messenger, and quickly rushed back with a military intelligence report on behalf of 100,000 anxious chicken feathers, and shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, the big thing is not good, there is a big thing in Huguang!" General Han Daren reported that Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang, who were stationed in Songzi and Lizhou, suddenly launched a mutiny to seize Jingzhou City, captured and imprisoned General Wu Guozheng, and cut off the connection between General Liu Zhifu of Changde and the rear of Xiangyang! The two Wu generals also asked General Tao Jizhi of Xiangyang to participate in the mutiny, no matter what happened, General Tao Jizhi was not allowed to hand over the defense area to our army! ”

"What?!" Wu Guogui's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "How is it possible? How could Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang do such a thing? ”

"Is there any mistake? Brother Wu Yingjing is crazy? Fat Lu also exclaimed, "Didn't you say that you would merge it into our Yue Wangfu?" Why did you regret it again? Has the message been confirmed? ”

"It's true!" Yao Qisheng presented the Tang report to Lu Fatzi and said loudly: "This news was still informed by General Tao Jizhi to General Han Daren, and General Tao Jizhi also asked General Wu Guogui to immediately go to the book to explain the situation, without General Wu Guogui's accurate answer, General Tao Jizhi cannot hand over Xiangyang and Nanyang to our army!" ”

Wu Guogui snatched the Tang Newspaper, opened it and only looked at it a few times, Wu Guogui's standard Chinese character face was all gray, and the civil and military officials of the Fat Man Army next to him were either full of disdain or angry, and the whispers immediately rang out, Lu Fatzi was a little better, and snatched the Tang Newspaper from Wu Guogui's hand, pretending to read the Tang Newspaper that had been received last night, and then turned his eyes to Wu Guogui, with a wry smile on his fat face.

"I'll go back to Huguang right away!" Wu Guogui couldn't stand his son-in-law's seemingly pitiful gaze, and yelled: "I'll go back immediately, I want to see how Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang, the two bastards, explain it to me!" ”

"Father-in-law, you can't go." Lu Fatzi categorically refused, and said: "If the son-in-law didn't guess wrong, Brother Wu Yingjing must suspect that your father-in-law has been bought by the son-in-law and me with glory and wealth, and it will be dangerous for you to return to Huguang, let the Shiqun brothers go, I will let Han Daren lead the army to protect the Shiqun brothers to negotiate with them, even if they can't be convinced, they can also ensure the safety of the Shiqun brothers." ”

"They won't trust the world, so I can only go." Wu Guogui shook his head.

"They won't believe you, father-in-law!" Lu Fatzi suddenly raised his voice, and shouted at Wu Guogui for the first time: "Father-in-law, please don't forget, you are my old Taishan, Wu Yingjing brother believes that I will usurp the throne, and naturally believes that I will buy you with glory and wealth, and even more believe that you will betray them in order to become a first-class Chengen Gong and help me to the throne!" For the sake of their position of power, they will not listen to anything you say, but will be against you! You are my father-in-law, if you have any three longs and two shorts for me, what face do I have to meet the people of the world, and what face do I have to meet Xiaosu?! ”

The first time he was scolded by his son-in-law like this, Wu Guogui was really a little unaccustomed, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while, but Lu Fatzi waved his hand and shouted with righteousness: "It's so decided, let the Shiqun brothers carry your letter from your father-in-law to Huguang, and let General Han Daren lead the main force of our army in Henan to escort the Shiqun brothers south!" If the Wu Yingjing brothers insist on supporting the army and making a rebellion, then you don't need to be polite and talk to them with knives and guns! Such selfish and selfish people will not be afraid of them, and they will not be able to listen to any of their good words! ”
