Chapter 66 The heart is in turmoil
In the following days, Wu Shigong inquired about the news of Emperor Apocalypse's body from various channels every day, regardless of whether the news was true or not, anyway, it seemed that he would feel at ease if he inquired more. With the good or bad news, Wu Shigong's mood is like a K-line chart of the stock market, constantly going up and down.
During this period, Sun Chengxiu also came to invite Wu Shigong to his house as a guest. In the name of thanking Wu Shigong, Sun Chengxiu's congratulatory gift after being promoted in the examination.
After the two of them sat down alone, Sun Chengxiu couldn't wait to ask Wu Shigong: "Is the emperor's body okay now?" ”
Wu Shigong seemed to see that behind Sun Chengxiu's pretended anxious expression, there was a cheering shadow. After carefully asking Sun Chengxiu, I realized that Sun Chengxiu was looking forward to the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he could open an Enke, and then he would have one more chance to try.
After understanding Sun Chengxiu's thoughts, if Sun Chengxiu was not his friend, Wu Shigong would also know that he had no malicious intentions. Wu Shigong was just a little bit closer, and he was about to punch Sun Chengxiu in the face.
On the way back to Xue's Mansion, Wu Shigong thought to himself: Now, we, Wei Zhongxian, our party, hope that the Emperor of the Apocalypse will live a long life; And those scribes who were full of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness hoped for the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. What the hell is this? It's still the heart of the literati who is the most poisonous!
However, the premonition of not haode is always very effective. One day in August, Xue Lian returned home with red and swollen eyes and informed Madame Zhang that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had died. The fifth brother of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, King Xin, has ascended the throne. From tomorrow onwards, Xue Lian and Madame Zhang will go to the palace every day during the day to guard the spirit of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
From this day on, the entire Xue Mansion became lifeless, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing. Wu Shigong also goes out early and returns late every day, wanting to let his work slow down his nervousness. Now Wu Shigong is a little let go, anyway, he stretches out his head and shrinks his head, and he is waiting for the judgment of the new emperor. All the people of the Terracotta Division naturally avoided Wu Shigong, including Xu Yimu and Wu Mian. On the contrary, Zhou Xun is very righteous and often comes to talk to Wu Shigong.
And so it went by two or three days. One morning, as soon as Wu Shigong arrived at Yamen, his master Zhang Kequan came to look for him. Zhang Kequan came to bid farewell to Wu Shigong and return to his hometown. Wu Shigong didn't say much, and expressed his understanding of Zhang Kequan's behavior. When Zhang Kequan was leaving, he also took out five hundred taels of silver as Cheng Yi for Zhang Kequan. This is also a good fit for the two to break up.
Zhang Kequan refused to accept the money, but Zuihou couldn't resist Wu Shigong, so he reluctantly accepted it. Before leaving, Zhang Kequan suggested to Wu Shigong: "The owner and the Hou Ye should resign to Emperor Chongzhen quickly, so that it is possible to ensure stability." ”
When Wu Shigong heard this, he was shocked and shouted, "Emperor Chongzhen!? "Wu Shigong only knows that the new emperor has come to power these days. At home, Xue Lian and Mrs. Zhang went out early and returned late, and they had no communication with Wu Shigong. In the yamen, no one was willing to take the initiative to talk to him. Therefore, Wu Shigong didn't know that the new emperor had already given the name of the year - "Chongzhen", so he was waiting for the beginning of the year.
When Wu Shigong repeatedly understood from Zhang Kequan, who was full of strange faces, that the new emperor was the Chongzhen Emperor, he let Zhang Kequan leave in despair.
Wu Shigong sat on the chair in a daze, as if he had been doused with ice water, and the cold sweat was pouring out. Even if you pass the level in front of you. After Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, no one could save the Xue family of Yangwu Marquis and the Wu family of Gongshun Marquis who rested with the country. themselves and their son Xue Chenglin, as their children, will definitely be killed. That's the real death of the people.
So what's the point of doing all the preparations you did the other day? The Ming Dynasty has fallen, where can he flee to?
At this moment, the Zhou Xun probe walked in. After Wu Shigong saw him, his eyes lit up, and he asked Zhou Xundao: "Do you know Li Zicheng?" ”
Zhou Xun thought for a moment and replied, "Did the Lord ask Li Zicheng from the Chongwen Gate?" The man used to be an old man, but then he didn't wash his hands. He brought a few apprentices with him......"
Wu Shigong didn't listen to Zhou Xun's words at all. He calmed down a little. Zhou Xun said as he spoke, seeing Wu Shigong's absent-minded and pale face, he asked with concern: "My lord, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Do you want the villain to get a doctor for you? ”
"No need. I just want to think about something, let me be alone for a while. ”
After Zhou Xun left, Wu Shigong's mind spun rapidly again: "The current situation may not be so bad. Zhou Xun didn't know about Li Zicheng yet. This shows that Li Zicheng has not yet become a world-famous rebel leader. The current Li Zicheng is at most on which mountain, to be a little thief. There is still some time before breaking into the city of Beijing. ”
"But how much time does Li Zicheng have to break into Beijing?" Wu Shigong can only reason and judge with the modern knowledge he knows, "The founding of New China is such a great leader and such a powerful political party, not counting the era of the Red Army, but also after eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and three years of the War of Liberation. It adds up to eleven years. Even if Li Zicheng is a genius, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years for a small thief to enter Beijing. There's still time. ”
Wu Shigong didn't know that Li Zicheng hadn't started to rebel at that time. Li Zicheng's rebellion can be said to have been indirectly forced by a policy of Emperor Chongzhen.
Wu Shigong continued to think: "So what else happened in the era of Emperor Chongzhen? ”
Wu Shigong recalled everything carefully: "Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing. But what happened before? Wu Shigong didn't know anything. What famous ministers and eunuchs did Emperor Chongzhen have? Wu Shigong didn't know anything. Who were the generals who fought against Li Zicheng? Wu Shigong doesn't know anything? What great battles have there been? Wu Shigong didn't know anything. "Wu Shigong is now eager to return to modern times and kidnap a history teacher again.
Wu Shigong only relied on modern TV series to learn: "After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he robbed Wu Sangui's wife Chen Yuanyuan. Then Wu Shigong was angry at the crown and let the soldiers enter the Shanhaiguan. After that, the Qing soldiers defeated Li Zicheng. The Qing Dynasty was established. ”
However, Wu Shigong also knows that there are too many jokes in the TV series, and it must be unreliable. Even now, Wu Shigong knows the names of the two people. However, where is Wu Sangui now? So where is Chen Yuanyuan now?
Damn it! Now it's about Chen Yuanyuan's! The more Wu Shigong thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and his heart was like numbness. Wu Shigong couldn't hold back the irritability in his heart any longer, stood up, lifted the chair under him, and slammed it on the ground, smashing the chair to pieces.
Hearing the movement in the house, Xue Yong and a group of Xue Mansion guards rushed in. Wu Shigong has now finished venting. His eyes were bloodshot, and he ignored the guards, strode out of the yamen, and rampage aimlessly through the streets. Those Xue Mansion guards hurriedly followed Wu Shigong.
After walking for a while, Wu Shigong suddenly found that he had walked to the door of the fat powder shop, he asked the Xue Mansion guards to wait at the door, and rushed straight to the fat powder shop.
As soon as Zhao Ruya suddenly saw Wu Shigong, she immediately smiled, and just wanted to say hello to Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong hugged Zhao Ruya's waist and resisted Zhao Ruya on his shoulder.
Wu Shigong didn't care about Li Xin's surprised eyes on the side, nor did he care about Zhao Ruya's struggle on his shoulder. He directly carried Zhao Ruya into the bedroom, kicked the bedroom door, threw Zhao Ruya on the bed in the bedroom, and began to take off his clothes.
The two groups of people who were monitoring the fat powder shop outside the fat powder shop had found nothing for half a year. But today, I suddenly saw Wu Shigong break into the fat powder shop, and both groups of people hurriedly ran to report the news.
