Chapter 248: Stockholm Syndrome
Wu Yingxiong listened to Kangxi's question, quickly got up, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The emperor is sage, my father is loyal, and he can learn from the sun and the moon!" My father has always guarded the southwest border for the saint and concentrated on suppressing bandits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEvery morning and evening, burn incense and chant Buddha, praying to God to bless the emperor and the queen mother, and bless me with the unification of the Qing Dynasty for 10,000 years! ā
Seeing this, Kangxi smiled, and didn't mean to question, just smiled lightly and said, "What you did, how can I not know?" ā
Wu Yingxiong didn't dare to answer, but just knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.
He originally had the bearing of a son, and he went out with a lot of pomp. In fact, when I saw Kangxi, I was able to advance and retreat in a measured manner, without losing etiquette.
But these days, he has suffered a lot in the military camp of Goxianda. First, in the process of gambling on alcohol, he was poured three bowls of spirits by Gao Xianda and drank until he was unconscious. Later, he also encountered the assassins of the Heaven and Earth Society.
These assassins were so accurate that they killed all the guards around them. Even the three masters invited by the king of Pingxi lost their traces that night. However, the officers and men of the cavalry battalion did not have any obvious damage.
It is difficult for Wu Yingxiong not to blame Kangxi's instructions for this incident.
Next, Gao Xianda's behavior made him feel even more puzzled. One moment the lockdown was announced, and the next it was lifted. One moment the march began, and the next order was given to stop. And Gao Xianda still disappears for a few days every now and then, who knows what he's doing.
When Gao Xianda was there, he was very polite to Wu Yingxiong, and he could still take care of anything. But when he was away, there was no one to take care of Wu Yingxiong. Even his subordinates were automatically isolated.
Wu Yingxiong is usually a person who is used to being served by maids, but at this time, he is suddenly left alone, and he can't take care of himself anymore.
Moreover, these soldiers did not accept anyone's command without Gao Xianda's orders. Often in the name of preventing someone from leaking secrets, he selectively ignored Wu Yingxiong's calls and locked Wu Yingxiong in a tent.
Therefore, Wu Yingxiong often can't eat for several days, and the commode is easy to pop up if he doesn't change it for a few days, and the whole living environment is a mess. He lived a very difficult life, and the whole person was depressed. I don't know if Gozenda did it on purpose.
But after Gao Xianda came back, he often feasted guests, and called Wu Yingxiong every time.
Gao Xianda himself was not at fault, Wu Yingxiong just wanted to complain to Gao Xianda, and Gao Xianda took the initiative to toast and make amends.
Usually at this time, when Wu Yingxiong is hungry enough to choke, Gao Xianda comes up and does not let him eat, and he is persuaded to drink. After Gao Xianda persuaded the wine, the generals at all levels and Sanjin and others came to persuade the wine. There are all kinds of reasons, anyway, just drink!
Around this group of people who are like wolves and tigers, straightforward and fast-talking, but have violent tendencies, Wu Yingxiong does not dare to object. As soon as he said a few words of resignation, a general took out a knife and said, "My lord, for your safety, I was born and died, hacked to death two anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and also suffered a knife!" If you don't give me face like this, then I'll die in front of you! ā
If this was in the territory of King Pingxi, if someone dared to speak like this, they would have been hacked to death by Wu Yingxiong's guards with a knife.
But this is Gao Xianda's territory, and Gao Xianda faced the subordinates who committed the crime, and he didn't object, nor did he fight, and said something: "Well, if the prince really doesn't give face, you will kill yourself!" I'll give you a posthumous martyr! ā
This is clearly adding fuel to the fire!
No one is stupid, that person has taken out his knife, and he is more than one meter away from Wu Yingxiong, he said that he wants to commit suicide, who believes it!
Even if he commits suicide, I'm afraid he will have to hack Wu Yingxiong to death first, who doesn't give face!
Even if he really committed suicide, Wu Yingxiong would have to be covered in blood! And the officers and men of the three armies must be said to be Wu Yingxiong cold-blooded and ruthless!
Will someone come over in the middle of the night and hack Wu Yingxiong to death!
Wu Yingxiong was about to be scared to pee, and he had no choice but to agree.
But the disadvantage of his compromise is that the first person drinks alcohol, what will happen to the second person?
You can drink his wine, but you can't drink mine, then you just look down on me, don't give me face, and I will die in front of you today......
Since Gao Xianda announced a big banquet, there must be dozens of people to eat, and everyone saluted Wu Yingxiong with a bowl, and Wu Yingxiong knelt directly.
Even if he can take a few bites between drinks, it is difficult for him to keep slicing.
Later, he got used to it, and when he saw Gao Xianda, he was a little habitually dizzy, but if he couldn't see Gao Xianda for a few days, he was a little uncomfortable, as if he was in a dung pit...... Some of them have been afflicted with Stockholm syndrome.
So he loves and fears Gao Xianda now, and Gao Xianda shivered when he glared at him.
But in addition to good wine, Gao Xianda did not beat and scold him along the way, he ate and drank well from time to time, and ensured his freedom within a certain limit. Wu Yingxiong couldn't find anything wrong with it.
He can only blame Gao Xianda's military orders, these soldiers are too obedient? Or did Coxenda often leave his post without permission and not stay in the barracks?
But when Gao Xianda left the camp, it was possible that he went to various state capitals to pay a visit, or he went to inquire about the whereabouts of the Heaven and Earth Society. None of them are points that can be used to attack. So Wu Yingxiong could only endure it.
So this time, Wu Yingxiong came to see Kangxi, accompanied by Gao Xianda. Wu Yingxiong's thinking is basically in a short-circuit state. The attitude is very humble, and he doesn't fight wits or justify with Kangxi, he is completely surrendered.
Kangxi was naturally very happy and said: "Since King Pingxi is a great loyal minister, then he naturally wants to be rewarded!" Come on! ā
So saying, he called the eunuch over. The eunuch took the holy decree that Kangxi had prepared a long time ago and read it out next to him.
Kangxi promoted Wu Yingxiong's official, crowned him as the crown prince, and rewarded him with a house, as well as a lot of subordinates and maids. He also rewarded the king of Pingxi with some gifts with strong symbolic meaning, and ordered people to send them out ceremoniously.
This house is said to be for Wu Yingxiong, but in fact, this is an apartment where he is under house arrest. And those who are under him are looking at his eyeliner. And those gifts are to tell the world that the relationship between him and King Pingxi is very harmonious. At the same time, he is also telling King Pingxi, you give me a good squint in the southwest. As long as you don't rebel, your son will be safe and sound, and he can be promoted to a knighthood.
Wu Yingxiong naturally hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and said some words to show his loyalty.
Then Kangxi asked him to retreat first.
When Wu Yingxiong left, Kangxi said to Gao Xianda: "Master, you did a good job on an errand this time!" ā
Gao Xianda hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's all thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu!" (To be continued.) )
