Chapter 992 The emperor is not as good as a dog

Wu Sangui secretly set off for Shilongwei. After arriving, he did not delay and asked his son-in-law Guo Zhuangtu to take him to see Zhu Youlang.

When he saw Zhu Youlang, Wu Sangui was really shocked, because Zhu Youlang in front of him was not as good as an emperor, but more like a terminally ill old man, or like a beggar who had been hungry for several days.

Zhu Youlang just held his knees and curled up and sat in the corner of the house. There was food on the table, but he didn't move a bite.

Because he conspired with Qian Guo Duke Mu Tianbo to protect the prince from running away from Myanmar, Deng Kai, the lame general who was ordered to break his legs by Zhu Youlang, was loyal to Zhu Youlang. Seeing Guo Zhuangtu leading someone in, he looked at him closely and found that it was Wu Sangui. After immediately stood up alertly, limped forward and blocked Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, feeling that Deng Kai was loyal, so he did not let Deng Kai go out, but whispered: "Please rest assured, General Deng, I have no malice to Your Majesty."

Deng Kai was stunned for a moment and took a few steps back. Seeing that the light in the house was a little dim, Wu Sangui asked Guo Zhuangtu to go to the front palm light. After the light was on, the room became brighter, and Zhu Youlang's appearance became clearer, very pitiful and very sloppy.

Wu Sangui sighed inwardly and stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui is here to see you."

Zhu Youlang opened his eyes in a trance, looked at Wu Sangui, and closed his eyes again because he didn't believe that Wu Sangui would come to see him.

Wu Sangui was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Deng Kai hesitated for a while, dragged his lame legs forward and whispered in Zhu Youlang's ear. Zhu Youlang's eyes suddenly opened and stared at Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui thought the other party would scold him, but he didn't expect that Zhu Youlang didn't know where he got the strength, so he jumped away, stepped forward and hugged Wu Sangui's legs, and said wailingly: "Pingxi King, you finally come to see me, you finally come to see me, wuwu."

Zhu Youlang cried.

Wu Sangui didn't expect that Zhu Youlang would hug him and cry, and he was caught off guard for a moment. Guo Zhuangtu was also shocked, while Deng Kai closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.

Wu Sangui, who had reacted, for some reason, had his pity for Zhu Youlang disappeared completely, and replaced it with a deep pain. After the pain, he became a little proud: the Emperor of Ming Dynasty hugged himself like a dog and cried. Who in the world believed this? Who can believe it!

Is this the emperor?

Throughout history, the emperor has been high and no one dared to look up to the emperor. People compare the emperor to a tiger, so there is a saying that accompanying the emperor is like a tiger. However, today the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is like a dog in front of him!

Wu Sangui felt that he had an epiphany. He laughed at him for being a ghost last time, so he felt scared, guilty and guilty about this dog-like emperor.

The reason why the emperor is the emperor is not because the emperor himself is the emperor, but because the people in the world respect him as the emperor; the people in the world respect the emperor only fear his own heart, not others. If the emperor's power has been lost, it is no different from the dog that lost his family! Wu Sangui felt a sense of sorrow in his heart. What is the meaning of Zhu Youlang to be such an emperor?

"Pingxi King Ji Duke Wu Aiqing, please let me go. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die. I know that you know that I'm on a hunger strike. I will definitely come to see me. I will definitely come to see me. I finally waited for you."

Zhu Youlang had lost his mind and spoke without hesitation. King Pingxi was the title of king granted to Wu Sangui by the Qing court. How could he call Wu Sangui as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty a false title, but he did so.

Guo Zhuangtu sneered, his eyes full of contempt for Zhu Youlang.

Deng Kai's heart was both sore and painful, and the emperor's performance disappointed him. He had already made up his mind that if the emperor died of self-destruction, he would not live alone. Mr. Chongzhen had Wang Chengen around him, and Mr. Yongli had him Deng Kai!

But Deng Kai was so sad and disappointed that the emperor was like this. He stood there silently, feeling as if he was ashamed.

Wu Sangui shook his head, bent down and helped Zhu Youlang up, sighed lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the only one who can save you at the moment is yourself, not others."

Zhu Youlang refused to get up and looked up at Wu Sangui: "My army is weak and weak, and I have no support. Today I am captured by King Pingxi again. How can I save myself?"

"What can save Your Majesty is not about strength but about heart!" Wu Sangui said, and despite Zhu Youlang's resistance, he helped him up.

After being forced to pull up, Zhu Youlang did not dare to kneel down again, and said in tears: "Please show me a clear way!"

"A person can lose his strength, but he cannot lose his heart. After losing his strength, he can wait for his physical strength to recover or use the power of others. If he loses his heart, there will be no one's spirit or soul. As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty is the hope of the people in the world who care about the Ming Dynasty. How can he lose his heart?"

"I haven't lost my heart." Wu Sangui's words made Zhu Youlang look confused.

"Your Majesty, as the emperor, but seeking help from others, is losing his aura; Your Majesty, as the emperor, but without the power of the emperor, is losing his god; Your Majesty, as the emperor, but without seeking progress, is losing his sharpness. Your Majesty has lost his majestic spirit, immortal spirit, and strong spirit, isn't it because he loses his heart?"

Wu Sangui didn't know why he said that Zhu Youlang. He knew that what he was doing now should not be ridiculing the down-and-out emperor, but comforting and coaxing him with kind words, but he said this by nature. He vaguely felt that even if he beat Zhu Youlang now, the so-called emperor would still beg him like a dog. Perhaps his aide was a little unnecessary, but Hong Chengchou was right. Zhu Youlang was too hypocritical, and everything he did was 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've seen it."

Wu Sangui nodded.

When Zhu Youlang heard that Wu Sangui had read his letter, he 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 anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty, I have the attitude to meet my ancestors, even if I ask me to give the position of emperor to you, I will be willing."

After hearing this, Wu Sangui was stunned for a long time, then burst into laughter, and the laughter vibrated the house. Guo Zhuangtu was also laughing. Their laughter made Zhu Youlang feel uncomfortable, but he didn't know what they were laughing at.

At some point, Deng Kai had already dragged his lame legs away from the room. No one asked him where he was going, and no one cared about him.

"Why did King Pingxi laugh? Did I say it wrong?" Zhu Youlang was very nervous and very weak.

Wu Sangui stopped laughing and said calmly: "Your Majesty has become a prisoner under my rank. How can I still have the throne to give me?"

Zhu Youlang immediately said, "Don't worry, Pingxi, although I have become a prisoner, I am the emperor after all, and there are still many people in this country who listen to me. I am useful to you and have great use!"

"Is it useful to me?" Wu Sangui shook his head and looked at Zhu Youlang sympathetically, "Which country is the emperor of His Majesty?"

Zhu Youlang blurted out: "He is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Where is His Majesty's land and subjects?"

"This" Zhu Youlang answered silently.

Wu Sangui asked him again: "Where is Your Majesty's guards?"

Zhu Youlang was still speechless and had to silently hold his head. After a while, he said, "Although I am a fake emperor, if Pingxi wants to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, it must be my name, because the Ming Dynasty's country belongs to my Zhu family."

Hearing this, Wu Sangui couldn't control his emotions and sneered: "What a country belongs to the Zhu family! As the saying goes, the emperor takes turns to come to my house next year! Why can Your Majesty say that the world is your Zhu family? Even if it is your Zhu family, can you take it over?"

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he was stunned and didn't know how to say it.

Wu Sangui took his 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: "If I don't eat it, I will still die if I eat it. It's better to starve to death!"

"Your Majesty, please eat." Wu Sangui laughed again. After laughing, he said, "I will not kill Your 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 die too!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not hand you over to the Qing court." Wu Sangui said, standing up, walking to the table, and taking out the chopsticks.

"you?"

Zhu Youlang stayed there, wondering what Wu Sangui meant.

"I have said that I will not harm Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to know your plan, please have a meal first."

Wu Sangui handed the chopsticks to Zhu Youlang.

"Your Majesty can't trust me?"

The smile on Wu Sangui's face is 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 are you still here to advise Your Majesty to do? I ask Your Majesty again, should you eat it or not?"

Zhu Youlang hesitated for a while and finally responded: "I'm eating, I'm eating." As he said that, he stepped forward to take the chopsticks from Wu Sangui's hand, picked up the bowl and ate it hard. Maybe he was hungry for too long, and although the rice was cold, it smelled so good when he was eaten.

This fragrance is hope for life.

Wu Sangui and Guo Zhuangtu stood beside each other and watched Zhu Youlang eat voraciously. Under a tree not far away, Deng Kai's body hung straight on a belt, shaking slightly.
