Chapter 992: The Emperor Is Not as Good As A Dog
Wu Sangui secretly set off to Shilongwei, and after arriving, he didn't delay, so he asked his son-in-law Guo Zhuangtu to take him to see Zhu Youlang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he saw Zhu Youlang, Wu Sangui was really startled, because Zhu Youlang in front of him was still like an emperor, more like a terminally ill old man, or like a beggar who had been hungry for a few days.
Zhu Youlang just hugged his knees and curled up and sat in the corner of the room. There was food on the table, but it didn't move.
Because of conspiring with Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, to protect the prince's escape from Burma, Deng Kai, a lame soldier who was personally ordered by Zhu Youlang to break his leg, was loyal to Zhu Youlang's side, and when he saw Guo Zhuangtu leading a person in, he looked at it fixedly, and found that it was Wu Sangui, and immediately stood up vigilantly, limping forward to block in front of Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, feeling that Deng Kai was loyal, he did not let people drag Deng Kai out, but said in a low voice: "General Deng, please rest assured, this king has no ill will towards His Majesty." ”
Deng Kai was stunned and took a few steps back. Wu Sangui saw that the light in the room was a little dim, so he asked Guo Zhuangtu to step forward and palm the lamp. After the lights were turned on, the room became brighter, and Zhu Youlang's appearance became clearer, very pitiful and very sloppy.
Wu Sangui sighed secretly, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister Wu Sangui has come to see you." ”
Zhu Youlang, who was in a trance, opened his eyes, looked at Wu Sangui, and closed his eyes again. Because he didn't believe that Wu Sangui would come to see him at all.
Wu Sangui froze, not knowing what to do.
Deng Kai hesitated, dragged his lame leg forward and whispered in Zhu Youlang's ear, Zhu Youlang's eyes opened suddenly, staring at Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui thought that the other party would scold him, and he didn't want Zhu Youlang to have the strength to get it, so he jumped away, stepped forward and hugged Wu Sangui's legs, and said in a wailful voice: "King Pingxi, you finally came to see me... You've finally come to see me... Woo..."
Zhu Youlang cried.
Wu Sangui didn't expect Zhu Youlang to hug himself and cry, and he was a little caught off guard for a while. Guo Zhuangtu was also stunned, but Deng Kai closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.
Wu Sangui, who reacted, for some reason, his pity for Zhu Youlang disappeared cleanly, and was replaced by an unforgettable pain. After the pain, he became a little proud: the dignified Emperor Ming actually hugged himself like a dog and cried, who in the world believes this? Who can believe it!
Is this the Son of Heaven?
Throughout the ages, the Son of Heaven has been high, and no one dares to look up to the Son of Heaven. People compare the Son of Heaven to a tiger, so there is a saying that a companion is like a tiger. However, today's great tomorrow is like a dog in front of him!
Wu Sangui felt that he had an epiphany, he laughed at himself for seeing a ghost last time, so he felt scared, guilty, and weak about this dog-like emperor.
The reason why the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven is not because the Son of Heaven himself is originally the Son of Heaven, but because the people of the world raise him as the Son of Heaven; The people of the world fear the Son of Heaven, but they only fear their own hearts, not others. If the prestige of the Son of Heaven has been lost, it will be no different from a lost dog! ... Wu Sangui felt a kind of sadness in his heart for no reason, what does it mean for Zhu Youlang to be such a heavenly son?
"King Pingxi... Jiguo Gong... Wu Aiqing... You let me go, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die... I know that you know that I am on a hunger strike, and that I will definitely come to see me, that I will definitely come to see me... I've finally waited for you... Looking forward to it..."
Zhu Youlang has lost his mind and is speechless. King Pingxi was the prince canonized to Wu Sangui by the Qing court, how could he, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, call Wu Sangui as a pseudo-knight, but he did it.
Guo Zhuangtu sneered, his eyes full of contempt for Zhu Youlang.
Deng Kai's heart was sore and painful, and the emperor's performance made him too disappointed. He had already made up his mind that if the emperor died by suicide, he would not live alone. Chongzhen Ye has Wang Chengen by his side, and Yongli Ye has him Deng Kai by his side!
But the emperor was like this, Deng Kai was sad and disappointed, he stood there silently, his heart was like ashes.
Wu Sangui shook his head, bent down to help Zhu Youlang up, sighed lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the only one who can save you right now is yourself, not others." ”
Zhu Youlang refused to get up, and looked up at Wu Sangui: "My soldiers are weak and helpless, and today I was captured by the king of Pingxi, how can I save myself?" ”
"What can save Your Majesty is not in the strength, but in the heart!" Wu Sangui said, ignoring Zhu Youlang's resistance, he insisted on helping him up.
After being pulled up, Zhu Youlang didn't dare to kneel down anymore, only burst into tears and said, "Please King Pingxi show me a clear path!" ”
"People can lose their strength, but they can't lose their hearts. After losing strength, you can wait for your physical strength to recover, or you can rely on the strength of others; If you lose your heart, you have no spirit, and no soul you have. Your Majesty, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is the hope of the subjects of the Ming Dynasty in the world, how can you lose your heart? ”
"I haven't lost my heart..."Wu Sangui's words made Zhu Youlang look confused.
"Your Majesty, as the emperor, is angry when he asks for help; Your Majesty is the emperor, but he does not have the authority of the emperor, he is a loss of his god; Your Majesty, as the emperor, does not seek to forge ahead, and is a loss of sharpness. Your Majesty has lost his majestic spirit, immortal spirit, strong and sharp, isn't it a loss of heart? ”
Wu Sangui didn't know why he wanted to say this about Zhu Youlang, he knew that what he was doing now should not be to ridicule this down-and-out emperor, but to comfort him and coax him with good words, but he said it like this. He faintly felt that even if he beat Zhu Youlang now, this so-called emperor would still beg him like a dog. Perhaps, his staff is a little redundant to worry, or Hong Chengchou is right, this Zhu Youlang is too hypocritical, and everything he does is just to survive.
Zhu Youlang couldn't understand Wu Sangui's words, so he had to ask: "King Pingxi, have you read the letter I wrote to you?" ”
"I saw it."
Wu Sangui nodded.
As soon as Zhu Youlang heard that Wu Sangui had read his letter, he grabbed a straw like a drowning man, and hurriedly said: "Since King Pingxi has read my letter, he should naturally know my heart. If King Pingxi can help me complete the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, so that I have the face to meet my ancestors and ancestors, even if I let me give you the position of emperor, I am willing. ”
After hearing this, Wu Sangui was stunned for a long time, and then burst into laughter, and the laughter vibrated the house. Guo Zhuangtu was also laughing. Their laughter made Zhu Youlang uncomfortable, but he didn't know what they were laughing at.
At some point, Deng Kai had dragged his lame leg out of the room. No one asked him where he went, and no one cared about him.
"Why is the king of Pingxi laughing? Am I wrong? Zhu Youlang was very flustered and empty.
Wu Sangui stopped laughing and said calmly: "Your Majesty has become a prisoner of my ranks, how can I still have the throne?" ”
Zhu Youlang immediately said: "Pingxi rest assured, although I have become a prisoner of the ranks, but after all, I am the emperor, and there are still many people in this country who listen to me." I'm useful to you, I'm of great use! ”
"Works for me?" Wu Sangui shook his head and looked at Zhu Youlang sympathetically, "Your Majesty is the emperor of which country?" ”
Zhu Youlang blurted out: "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"Where are your majesty's lands and subjects?"
"This..."Zhu Youlang replied wordlessly.
Wu Sangui asked him again: "Where are Your Majesty's guards and horses?" ”
Zhu Youlang was still speechless, so he had to silently take his head. In the middle of the sound, he said: "Although I am a fake emperor, if Pingxi wants to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, it must be in my name, because the Ming Dynasty belongs to my family surnamed Zhu." ”
Hearing this, Wu Sangui couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, and sneered: "A good country belongs to someone surnamed Zhu!" As the saying goes, the emperor takes turns to do it, and next year to my house! Why can Your Majesty say that this world is your Zhu family? Even if it's the world of your Zhu family, can you take it? ”
When Zhu Youlang heard this, he was stunned, not knowing how to say.
Wu Sangui took a chair and sat down, looked at Zhu Youlang, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, let's eat something first, otherwise you will starve to death." ”
Zhu Youlang shook his head: "I don't eat it, I still have to die if I eat it, it's better to starve to death!" ”
"Your Majesty, eat it." Wu Sangui laughed again, and after the laughter, he said, "The minister will not kill His Majesty." ”
Zhu Youlang's face turned red: "If you don't kill me, you still have to hand me over to the Qing court, and I will also die!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not hand you over to the Qing court." Wu Sangui stood up as he spoke, walked to the table, and took out the chopsticks.
"You?"
Zhu Youlang stayed there, not knowing what Wu Sangui meant.
"The minister said that the minister will not harm His Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to know the minister's plans, please eat first. ”
Wu Sangui handed the chopsticks to Zhu Youlang.
"Your Majesty doesn't believe it?"
The smile on Wu Sangui's face was both sincere and playful.
"You really don't kill me?" Zhu Youlang was still hesitant.
Wu Sangui said: "If you want to kill you, what is the minister still here to persuade Your Majesty to do?" ... The minister asked His Majesty again, did His Majesty eat or not? ”
Zhu Youlang hesitated again and again, and finally responded: "I... I eat, I eat..."As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the chopsticks in Wu Sangui's hand, picked up the rice bowl and ate desperately. Xu was hungry for too long, and although the rice was cold, it was so fragrant in the stomach.
This incense is the hope of life.
Wu Sangui and Guo Zhuangtu just stood by and watched Zhu Youlang gobble there.
Under a tree not far away, Deng Kai's body hung straight on a belt, swaying slightly.
