Chapter 20 It's still gratifying, it's gratifying to congratulate!
In August of the tenth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou Fucheng, Guangdong Province.
In the seventh year of Shunzhi, he slaughtered a clean Guangzhou city by King Shang Kexi of Pingnan in the city of Ping'an, and now it has become bustling again.
Countless "new Guangzhou people" who had to live from the originally prosperous and rich coastal areas of Guangdong to Guangzhou City to make a living because of the migration of the border and forbidden seas, surging shoulder to shoulder on the streets of this thousand-year-old business capital. Only "Gongzhong Mountain" located two or three miles outside the east gate of Guangzhou City and the Xieenli Archway in Guangzhou City (after killing Guangzhou people, they have to let Guangzhou ghosts thank you), silently narrating the massacre twenty-one years ago...
At noon on August 6th, several fast horses galloped from the east, and ran over the foot of Gongzhong Mountain, and then headed straight to the crowded city gate of Guangzhou Dongguan. The knights on the horses were all cold hats and jackets, carrying bows and arrows, carrying long swords, and proudly. The bells of the horse's hooves rang, and the people who were busy entering and leaving the city gate were stumbled away. Everyone knew that these people were all flag soldiers guarding Guangdong, and who would trample their horses to death... They would have to thank them if they died!
Several strong horses flew over the streets of Guangzhou like flying. When they passed through the crowded and messy streets of the outer city, they did not slow down their horses at all and rushed all the way. However, when they entered the inner city of Guangzhou, they calmed down and walked carefully through the wide and tidy streets.
At this time, the two cities inside and outside of Guangzhou are two worlds!
Those who live in the outer city are Han people who have moved from the coastal areas of Guangdong in recent years, while those who live in the inner city are mostly flag soldiers, flag civil servants and flag slaves from the Pingnan Prince's Mansion... They cannot be hurt!
Besides, the King of Pingnan, who is guarding Guangdong, is still a stallion. He has more than 100 children and his grandchildren have already reached a thousand, most of them live in the inner city of Guangzhou. If they are shocked, these servants from Xushun Gong Mansion will not be able to afford it!
It turned out that these Pegasus entered Guangzhou were not the bannermen of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, but the bannermen of the Xushun Gong Mansion from Chaozhou. They were all slaves of Shang Shuying, the grandmother of the Xushun Gong Mansion.
Shang Shuying is one of Shang Kexi's more than 100 children. She married the previous Xu Shun Duke Shen Yongxing a few years ago. However, Shen Yongxing was a young man who died early. He died at a young age and did not leave any seeds for Shang Shuying. He had no choice but to carry Shen Rui, the son of the senior Xu Shun Duke Shen Yongzhong (this guy died of Kong Youde and was accused by Kong Sizhen of the rebels and dismissed from office) as a gift, allowing Shen Rui to attack the duke. However, the power of the Duke's mansion was still held in Shang Shuying's hands, and even if the deputy governor Deng Guangming had to call himself a slave when he saw Shang Shuying.
After entering the inner city of Guangzhou, these servants from the Xushun Gong Mansion did not go straight to Shang Kexi's Pingnan Prince's Mansion, but went to the old Jingnan Prince's Mansion next door. The current Prince's Mansion of Pingnan Prince Geng Jimao was also appointed to Guangzhou at first, and the monk Shang Kexi and the two men jointly set up Guangdong together. But later the Qing court felt that Shang and Geng's two feudals had a harmonious relationship and did not bite them much. So they moved Geng Jimao away, and the Geng family's palace was returned to Shang Kexi's eldest son Shang Zhixin.
Shang Zhixin was originally a hostage in Beijing, accompanied Emperor Shunzhi to eat, drink and have fun, and became a good brother, and also named "Altan Gong" (Die Qi). After Emperor Kangxi, the "little saint" killing the loyal minister Aobai, he felt that Ama's good brother Uncle Shang could be trusted (can Ama's vision be wrong?), so he asked him to go back to Guangdong to cause trouble for the old traitor, Shang Kexi, the King of Pingnan...
After Shang Zhixin arrived in Guangzhou Prefecture, he certainly did not take my son Shang Kexi seriously. Shang Kexi was the dog slave of Shunzhi and Kangxi. Shang Zhixin was the "Altan" of Shunzhi, the brother Qi, and the "Uncle Qi" of Kangxi.
Isn’t it obvious who is bigger and who is smaller, who is the master and who is slave?
The servants under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion are also sensible. One is the emperor's dog slave, or an old dog slave who has not been around for a long time, and the other is the young emperor's "Uncle Shang". Who should they listen to?
So after Shang Zhixin returned to Guangdong, Shang Kexi was gradually undermined. Shang Shuying, who married to Chaozhou, was also a wise female slave, and of course she was closer to her elder brother. If there was anything, she would talk to her elder brother first and then to her father.
Shang Kexi, who was seized by his son at least half of his power, did not dare to resist - that was Kangxi's "Uncle Shang". Those who are slaves should know the superiority and inferiority of superiors and subordinates! How can they resist? Are you tired of living?
So the old traitor Shang simply became a prince who was not very careful and ate meat, drank alcohol, and chanted Buddha's name in his palace all day long. Shang Kexi didn't believe in Buddhism, otherwise he wouldn't have been so bloodthirsty! But later he heard that the master Shunzhi and the empress dowager both believed in Buddhism, he felt that he should also burn more incense so that he could keep a consistent with his masters!
So he built a ancestral temple in the back garden of the royal palace, and even asked someone to tie up a respected monk from Guangdong, Monk Dangui, to be the abbot.
On the afternoon of August 9th, he was old and fat, and his body hair turned white. Seeing that Shang Kexi, who was almost like a polar bear, was shirtless (Guangdong is so hot! He is a Northeastern man and can't afford it), fanned his palm fan, drank cold Guangdong rice wine, and chanted "Namo Amitabha" in the Buddhist temple, he suddenly heard the shouting of "Uncle Shang" by his master Kangxi.
"Ama, I'm so happy! I'm so happy..."
"Uncle Shang" is here, and of course Shang Kexi dare not recite scriptures anymore, so he has to come out to welcome him! He quickly greeted two nuns to help him up, and then served him to put on a sleeveless cold jacket, shaking his fan and then went out to greet him.
As soon as he left the Buddhist temple, the old traitor Shang saw his number one aide, Old Man Jin Guangjin, and his tall and big-looking eldest son, "Uncle Shang", who was a little "second" to come together.
Old Man Jin looked sad, while "Uncle Shang" was filled with joy.
What's going on?
The old traitor is confused. Isn’t he "are you "overjoyed"? Why are one frowning and the other so happy? Ah, is it that the master issued an order to abdicate and give me the wise and make a seat for "Uncle Shang"?
Although he was not very willing, the old traitor did not dare to be dissatisfied with his master, so he asked with a smile: "Mr. Altan, what are the happy events?"
"Ama," Shang Zhixin smiled, "The Thirteenth Sister just sent someone to send an emergency military newspaper. Deng Guangming's idiot was defeated in Jieyang County, with two hundred casualties and all flag soldiers!"
Ah? Shang Kexi was stunned and stunned. He pointed at his son with a palm fan. After a while, he put in a sentence: "You, what did you say?"
"Ama, Deng Guangming was defeated by the third prince and the third prince in Jieyang County. He suffered heavy losses. Now he is dispatching troops everywhere to find the place...hahaha!"
"You..." Shang Kexi was confused, "Which head do you belong to? Why are you so happy to win the battle between Xu Shun Gongfu?"
"Ama, why are you so confused?" Shang Zhixin said to Shang Kexi in a tone of teaching people, "Chaozhou Prefecture is not our territory. No matter how big the prince Zhu San, Zhu San, is, can't hit us. If Zhu San, Zhu San, can really eat the entire Chaozhou Prefecture, then will the treacherous ministers in the court dare to think about revoking our vassal? Hahaha..."
Shang Kexi was speechless when she looked at the "Uncle Shang" who was almost smiling from ear to ear. Fortunately, the little master Kangxi believed him so much, and this "Uncle" was actually trying to raise the bandits!
But he didn't think about how many bad things he did in Guangdong. He really wanted to let Prince Zhu San and Grandson Zhu San lead Guangdong people to invade Guangzhou Prefecture, and the Shang family members would not be killed completely?
Thinking of this, he looked at his confidant military advisor, Old Man Jin. This old man was a juren from the Ming Dynasty. Because the exam was too difficult to pass, he joined Shang Kexi as an aide. Later, he became a traitor with Shang Kexi. For decades, he worked hard to assist Old Man Shang... Just like Shang Kexi, his hands were covered with blood from the people of Guangdong!
If the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Prince Zhu really became bigger in Guangdong, he would probably have to be executed!
