Chapter 264

: Reason for guilt

Barshan was full of words for the second princess, but no one knew that Barshan was anxious and wanted to laugh at him.

For any given day in the Imperial Heavenly Prison, they often choose three or four suitable months. The children below are polite, and in order not to be anxious, they often drag them back and leave enough time for the rules to prepare. However, like Barshan, they immediately chose the earliest one, and they did not even cover up their minds.

Everyone's smile made Yudai feel very embarrassed. If it weren't for the masters, she would have pulled Barshan to his face and his life. It would have been a month or two short of a month. The weather is suitable in May and the autumn wind is cool in September, which is even more suitable.

However, in the end, Yudai gave Barshan enough face, and nodded and accompanied Barshan to be laughed at.

Finally, after discussing for a moment, the date of marriage was set on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month. In this way, there was not much time left for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Emperor Kangxi hurriedly ordered people to prepare for their lives. Even if they were hasty, they had to do it beautifully.

After saying this, Emperor Kangxi did not keep much, but just took Barshan to the Qianqing Palace to discuss political affairs. The two sisters, Liu Yuyu Dai, were very happy to talk to the Empress Dowager.

Although Barshan was recovering from his injuries for a long time, his ears and eyes were still under Barshan's control. Even if he didn't go out, he knew the world's affairs much better than Master Kangxi.

"I heard the rumors that Wu Sangui seemed to have died of a stroke in August. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, this news has been hidden but not released. However, the rebels are not a solid piece of communication. There are often rumors that appear faintly. Prince Cheng sent someone to inquire, but there were no spies available from the front, so the news was not accurate."

"If I remember correctly, when you returned from the rebels, you thought you had buried nails in front of Wu Sangui. I wonder if the news came?"

Upon hearing this, Barshan took out a secret letter from his arms and submitted it to him. In addition to asking for the marriage imperial edict for him and Yudai, he came today to make news about Wu Sangui.

If he was more attentive, he would not have asked the news about August until November. It was only after he heard about it that the emperor had finished it. Barshan knew that he had put all his thoughts on Yudai, and he didn't pay much attention to the serious matters outside because of his injuries. He felt guilty and blamed himself for his shortcomings, and he didn't dare to raise his head for a while.

"In late October, the war was stalemate. Wu Sangui's nephew and son-in-law, with his confidant generals Ma Bao, Hu Guozhu, and Xia Guo Prime Minister gathered in Yunnan and Guizhou, intending to meet Wu Sangui in person to discuss the war, but he was unable to see Wu Sangui frequently. Only then did he discover the clues and know that Wu Sangui was killed."

"Reply to Master Long Live, Wu Sangui is definitely dead."

"In November, five days ago, Hu Guozhu and others were ordered to wrap Wu Sangui's body in cotton, secretly carry Baoqing into Guizhou. General Ma Bao stayed in Hengzhou. Wu Shifan welcomed Guiyang, and he was able to ascend the throne smoothly. However, although Wu Shifan ascended the throne, the rebels were still shocked, and their momentum was no longer as good as before,,,,,,,,,"

"The two spread false news and tricked Wu Sangui's beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan, and asked her to guard Wu Sangui's bedroom day and night to give people the illusion of Wu Sangui's death. They either went to court or met ministers to pass military orders. They were all Wu Yinglin and Wu Shifan who took the title of Wu Sangui."

"These people were all loyal to Wu Sangui before. Because they suddenly realized that Wu Sangui's death was afraid of disrupting the morale of the army, they introduced Wu Sangui's confidant Wu Guogui to act as an agent. They also sent Wu Sangui's eldest son-in-law Guo Zhuang to protect Wu Shifan to pay tribute to Wu Sangui to Hengzhou and ascend the throne in Hengzhou."

Instead of suspecting that Wu Sangui had other intentions and was so concerned about delaying the fighter's shots. Although he still captured Hengzhou and other places, Wu Shifan ascended the throne and the rebels were at peace. I am afraid that it would be difficult to quickly decide the outcome next.

"However, Wu Yinglin is still eyeing this matter, how dare Wu Shifu move? Guo Zhuangtu has a daughter who married Wu Shifu. In order to protect his power, he tried to prevent Wu Shifu from leaving Yunnan and Guizhou to succeed to Hengzhou. Wu Guoguizi also had such concerns and had to bring people to discuss the law of ascending the throne."

"Wu Sangui's legitimate wife Zhang died in June. After Wu Sangui left, his son Wu Yinglin and Changsun Wu Shifan, if they follow Wu Sangui's last words, they should pass the throne they proclaimed to Changsun Wu Shifan. However, under open and secret struggles, neither Wu Yinglin nor Wu Shifan could do what they wanted. However, when the stalemate was stalemate, they also tacitly concealed the news of Wu Sangui's death."

"I also heard such rumors last month and immediately sent someone to inquire. However, my man was Changsui from Wu Sangui's son-in-law Fang Guangchen. I thought that no matter whether Wu Sangui was dead or alive, his news could not be hidden from his family. Who said that the Wu family would not regard his daughter and son-in-law as their own family, and the news was difficult to find, so it has been delayed until now."

"However, in anger, Wu Sangui's body was already declining. In July and August, Hengzhou was in an unbearable heat. Before the rebels arrived in Guizhou, Wu Sangui died. News of the spy came, saying that Wu Sangui was feeling uncomfortable, anxious, and excessive liver fire, and suddenly suffered from "stroke and hiccups". Then he was also suffering from "digestion" symptoms. The imperial physician tried every possible way to treat it, but it was ineffective. He died on the night of August 18th."

Barshan briefly said the news, and the news in the secret letter was more detailed. Seeing that Emperor Longsheng didn't say anything, Barshan just knelt down. He said that he had not done it well. If the news came earlier, Prince Cheng could use the news to turmoil the rebels and would use the benefits of Wu Yinglin and Wu Shifan to fight for the death.

"After the King of Cheng led his troops to seize Yongxing and defeated the rebels, Wu Sangui's plan to occupy Guangdong and Guangxi was considered to be a womb. He was surrounded and blocked by the soldiers of the Eight Banners. He had no choice but to retreat to Guangxi. Seeing that the Eight Banners were already at the city, he had to flee to Guizhou with his men, attempting to discuss with King Jingnan of Fujian and King Pingnan of Guangdong, and to fight against Prince Cheng's army in two sides, so as to capture Yongxing and other places."

After waiting for a while, Emperor Kangxi then put down the thick secret letter in his hand. He glanced at Barshan who looked down at him. He couldn't say whether he was angry or not. He just spoke in a faint tone, and there was a hint of mention.

"I'm doing something on my knees. Get up quickly. I know this. It's a good thing for Wu Sangui to die. Even if there is no such good thing, the rebels are not worth worrying about."

Barshan refused to stand up and said, "I am guilty, so I would like to ask the emperor to punish me. It is because my rule is unfavorable, and I am careless and delayed such an important opportunity."

Emperor Kangxi did not force Barshan. When he saw people repent, he knelt down and listened to him, so he didn't need to punish him.
