Chapter 387 Traitor Merits and Demerits
After Li Xiongfei's detailed introduction, Fatty Lu knew that Wu Yingqi's death was not so much hanged to death by Guo Zhuangtu, as he was killed by his own stinky mouth, forcing Guo Zhuangtu to take his life— — But it doesn't matter, this happened to be the death method of Wu Yingqi that Fatty Lu wanted most. It helped Fatty Lu resolve countless troubles, relieved countless troubles, and also helped Fatty Lu establish countless advantages.

After the death of the traitor Wu, the biggest obstacle for Fatty Lu and the Pingxi Palace to completely tear apart his face is actually Wu Yingqi. Wu Yingqi is not only Fatty Lu's elder, but also the father of Fatty Lu's friend Wu Shizong, and also the guide for Fatty Lu to enter the Pingxi Palace. , Fatty Lu's benefactor who stepped into the official career-although he was an official who rewarded Fatty Lu only after receiving a bribe from Fatty Lu.After all, the kindness is really put here. After the old man Wu died, Fatty Lu dared to rebel against anyone in the Pingxi Palace, and he dared to kill anyone. Only with Wu Yingqi, Fatty Lu would never rebel against him, let alone kill him!

As for Wu Shifan, the eldest grandson of old traitor Wu, he is nothing in the eyes of Fatty Lu, not to mention that he has no friendship or kindness with Fatty Lu, half of Wu Shifan's Aixinjueluo family lineage alone, Fatty Lu has a hundred The reason is against him to kill him, and there are a hundred ways to kill him quietly—for example, after controlling Wu Shifan, Fatty Lu asked his hardcore lackeys Xiao Erlang and Yuan Jinwei to put some bad medicine in front of the foolish boy Fang Shiyu, and then give it to him. Fang Shiyu made something convenient and created some opportunities, Fang Shiyu would definitely tear Wu Shifan apart!Then Fatty Lu can completely eradicate Fang Shiyu and the members of the Tiandihui in the team, and avenge the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. By the way, he also has a reason to turn his face with Zheng Jing, the backer of the Tiandihui.

Only Wu Yingqi, Fatty Lu killed him because he was neither filial nor righteous. He didn't have the slightest excuse, and he couldn't explain to the old man of Pingxi Palace in Fatty's army, and he couldn't convince other old men of Pingxi Palace who could win over him.But what Fatty Lu could never have imagined in his dreams was that Guo Zhuangtu, the good son-in-law of the old traitor Wu, was so mean and loyal that he killed Wu Yingqi, father and son, and Fatty Lu screamed and scolded Guo Zhuang Apart from the fact that Tu is not as good as a beast, in his heart, he can't wait to hold Guo Zhuangtu in his arms and kiss him hard—good man!Lu Sanhao is a better person than me who speaks kind words, has good intentions, and does good deeds!
But then again, Wu Yingqi's death was indeed caused by himself. Guo Zhuang tried to kill him because he had unspeakable difficulties. He was forced to move by Wu Yingqi. I know, maybe I will support my son-in-law to kill this unfilial son!Slaughter this two hundred and five sons!

What Li Xiongfei knew was this. After Xia Guoxiang and Ma Bao failed in Chizhou at the beginning of this year, Xia Guoxiang turned his face with Wu Yingqi who refused to distribute grain and grass when he returned to Wuchang. Fighting with Du Hui to death, Xia Guoxiang and Wu Yingqi almost caused the first firefight in Wuchang. In the end, Hu Guozhu, who was in command of the old man Wu, had no choice but to transfer Xia Guoxiang's troops back to Yuezhou to rest and supplement Ammunition and wounds were prepared to be put into the Hanbei battlefield, and Wang Pingfan's army attacked Tongguan from inside and outside.

At the same time, in order to prevent Wu Yingqi, the [-], from doing stupid things, Hu Guozhu placed Ma Bao's army on the line from Jiujiang to Nanchang. Next, another elite Wu army was given to the dog traitor Fatty Lu with a human face and a beast heart.Li Xiongfei, who was originally stationed in Jiujiang, was transferred back to Wuchang by Hu Guozhu because he was from the Fat Army, and he was arranged to serve in Wu Yingqi's army.

Later, after the old traitor Wu ascended the throne in Xi'an on the first day of April, on the fourteenth day of the fourth month, the imperial edicts were sent to Wuchang on the day of April 12, when Wu Shifan was enthroned as the grandson of the emperor, and Wu Yingqi was enshrined as the king of Jing. The old traitor must have sent this edict before the enthronement ceremony.And after reading the imperial edict conferring Wu Shifan as the grandson of the emperor, Wu Yingqi immediately cursed in front of many of his subordinates, accusing his father of being blind and ignorant, leaving himself, a son who is both civil and military, brave and resourceful, not to be crowned prince, but to be dissatisfied The [-]-year-old grandson is the grandson of the emperor, and he is simply dizzy, took the wrong medicine, and is confused!
Fortunately, Wu Yingqi still has some respect for the traitor father. As long as the traitor father is still alive, no matter how dissatisfied Wu Yingqi is, he will not dare to break his face with his father. He can only smash his teeth and swallow blood, honestly After accepting the imperial edict, he took office as King Jing, and began to prepare to build the Wuchang Palace for his father—to take the opportunity to make a lot of money.But what no one expected was that after only four or five days, Hu Guozhu sent another traitor Wu's order, ordering Wu Yingqi to temporarily put down his work, temporarily hand over the army to Hu Guozhu's unified command, and return to Yunnan to meet the traitor Wu and his comrades. The family members of the generals in Pingxi Palace, old and young, escorted these family members to move to Wuchang.

Although he was unwilling to hand over his military power, Wu Yingqi could not violate the will of the old traitor Wu, and considering that when he moved the Pingxi Palace, he would definitely make a fortune from his father's hoard of gold, silver and jewelry, Wu Yingqi finally followed the order and temporarily handed over to Hu Guozhu The right to send troops and return to Yunnan with five hundred Qingqi. Li Xiongfei accompanied Wu Yingqi as his deputy. He traveled day and night all the way and arrived in Kunming on the sixth day of May. He and Li Xiongfei realized that they had been fooled.

The reason for being deceived is of course that the old traitor Wu is dead, and the coffin has been secretly escorted back to Yunnan by Wang Hui, Wang Shirong, Fang Xueshi and others, and it is temporarily parked in the secret room of the Pingxi Palace. Fatty Lu’s teacher, Liu Xuanchu, has also died of illness one after another—Liu Xuanchu cried to death after seeing the coffin of the old traitor Wu, and the wife of the old traitor Wu, Queen Zhang, also died crying together. Outside Fang Guangchen, who was far away in Changsha, was completely swept away, and Wuhua Mountain fell into unprecedented chaos.

What made the two hundred and five Wu Yingqi furious was that on the first day he arrived in Kunming, Wu Shifan had already enthroned in mourning in front of the coffin of the old traitor Wu. Emperor Hua changed the second year to the first year of Honghua.What made Wu Yingqi even more furious was that on the day Wu Shifan took office, he conferred the title of Guo Zhuangtu's daughter as the Queen, worshiped Guo Zhuangtu as the Prime Minister of the Zuo of the Grand Scholar Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Prime Minister of the Right of Xia Guoxiang, and made Ma Bao the President of the World Army and Horses. Marshal, but the actual power of the Honghua court was in the hands of Wu Shifan's father-in-law Guo Zhuangtu. Not only did Wu Yingqi get nothing, but he had to kowtow to his nephew, saying long live.

When Wu Yingqi was furious, Wang Shirong, who escorted the old traitor Wu back to Yunnan, showed a will of the old traitor Wu, and told Wu Yingqi frankly that it was actually arranged by the traitor Wu himself when he was dying, and asked Wu Yingqi not to Blame no one.In the will, the old traitor Wu explained his reasons for keeping secrets, and warned Wu Yingqi not to trust too much Fatty Lu, who watches over wolves. Fatty Lu, who was besieged by Geng Jingzhong, extended a helping hand and asked Fatty Lu to fight against the Qing court. Then he came to the south of the Yangtze River with a superior force, forcing Fatty Lu to surrender his military power, and brought Fatty's army back under his command.

In addition, the old traitor Wu asked Wu Yingqi to swear in front of his coffin, vowing to put state affairs and family affairs first, and to follow his will, enshrine his eldest grandson Wu Shifan as emperor, and help Wu Shifan sweep Liuhe, pacify all directions, set the Central Plains, and establish The Wu family, who is never easy, said that if Wu Yingqi dared to have the slightest ambition to usurp and murder the criminal, the old traitor Wu would not spare Wu Yingqi even if he was a ghost!
"Poor old traitor Wu, with such a son, I am afraid that even if he dies, he will not dare to rest in peace." Hearing Li Xiongfei's introduction, Fatty Lu couldn't help sighing quietly, full of sympathy for old traitor Wu, It is indeed embarrassing and pitiful to have a two hundred and five sons like Wu Yingqi on the table-if you kill him, you will not bear it, and you will break your own arm and cause the army to lose morale.If they don't kill them, they can't rest assured that they can say anything, for fear that such an idiot might do stupid things at any time, ruining the good situation of Wu Sangui's army.The only way is to use such a seemingly harsh but actually weak edict to try to awaken the conscience of the idiot son.

The good intentions of the old traitor Wu have always fed the dog. After reading the suicide note of the old traitor Wu, Wu Yingqi immediately jumped three feet high and yelled, saying that it is okay for him to listen to his father, and it is absolutely fine for him to serve his nephew as emperor. , but the power of the Great Zhou court must be handed over to himself, not to Guo Zhuangtu, a man with a foreign surname!He even forced his nephew to make him the Prince of Jian Guo Jing, and let him preside over the overall situation of the Honghua court and control the power for his nephew!

Of course, Wang Shirong and Fang Xueshi, who helped Ling to return to Yunnan, were very dissatisfied with Guo Zhuangtu's arbitrarily monopolizing power when the old man Wu's body was still cold, but it is a pity that Guo Zhuangtu not only married his daughter Wu Shifan also has a very close relationship with Wu Shifan, and all his actions have been approved by Wu Shifan. In addition, the edict of the old traitor Wu is to let Guo Zhuangtu, Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoxiang and Wu Guogui four people assist the government, and the other three are all in On the front line, only Guo Zhuangtu was by Wu Shifan's side—so logically speaking, Guo Zhuangtu's actions should be considered legal and reasonable, and Wu Yingqi's forcing Wu Shifan to make himself the prison king is arrogance, and the name is not justified.

It is also because of these reasons that Wang Shirong, Fang Xueshi and others had to stand by Guo Zhuangtu's side, holding the traitorous edict of the old man Wu to refute Wu Yingqi's trespassing behavior. One who supports Wu Yingqi—just kidding, Guo Zhuang wants to monopolize power, the Pingxi Palace may have a future, and Wu Shifan will have a chance to regain power when he grows up. If Wu Yingqi is allowed to control the power of the Honghua court, formulate policies and issue orders, then everyone It's better to find a rope and hang yourself quickly, so that you can die more quickly.

No one on Wuhua Mountain supported him, and his nephew was so frightened by his yelling that he burst into tears. The anger and loss in Wu Yingqi's heart can be imagined. I have all my thoughts.But Wu Yingqi is not completely an idiot, sometimes his brain is quite useful. Considering that he is in Wuhua Mountain, his direct army is thousands of miles away in Wuchang City, and he only has Li Xiongfei as his helper - which may not be reliable. After calming down, under the persuasion of Wang Shirong and Fang Xueshi, he went down the donkey, kowtowed to Wu Shifan to plead guilty, asked Wu Shifan for forgiveness, and said that he would definitely obey the imperial father's will and do his best to help his nephew stabilize the situation and rule the world.

After all, it was blood and family relationship, Wu Yingqi succumbed, and Wu Shifan immediately forgave his uncle, and rewarded many of Wu Yingqi's favorite gold, silver and jewelry. Going to the front line to experience and serve his cousins ​​in the future, Wu Shifan naturally agreed, and even sealed the official posts for both cousins. Similarly, Wu Yingqi brought Wu Shijun and Wu Shizhen back to Wuchang to continue to lead the army.

Wu Yingqi suddenly relented, and proposed to take his son back to the front line. This little trick also deceived his eldest nephew who had just turned 12 years old. Old foxes like Guo Zhuangtu, Wang Shirong and Fang Xueshi were thinking with their toes, and they could guess Wu Yingqi's belly No matter what kind of bad water he was holding back, he naturally arranged a plan to deal with Wu Yingqi.However, Wu Yingqi's more powerful actions are yet to come. He was just released from Kunming City by Wu Shifan, and before he left Yunnan with his two sons, Wu Yingqi gnashed his teeth in front of the accompanying soldiers and vowed to usurp the throne. The army of his disciple Lu Fatzi and his eldest son Longwei General Wu Shicong joined forces to return to Yunnan to regain the throne, and asked the accompanying soldiers to swear allegiance to themselves!

Wu Yingqi Shenyou said such things when he was in Yunnan. Guo Zhuangtu, who holds the power of the Honghua court, really wants to attack him, because our second prince Wu Yingqi Shenyou Guishenyou, the eldest son Wu Shicong and his favorite student Fatty Lu But there are two powerful characters, the two most outstanding generals of the third generation of Pingxi Wangfu, one holds troops from Guangdong and Guangxi and directly threatens the hinterland of Yunnan, and the other occupies Jiangnan with abundant money and food, and the army in his hand is also extremely powerful!If Wu Yingqi really dragged his eldest son and disciples to rebel, the Pingxi palace would be doomed to split, and the fate of Guo Zhuangtu's family could basically be said to be accountable.

So there is no other way, Guo Zhuangtu can only quickly pretend to send reinforcements to the front line, and send his confidant general Lin Xuan to lead the army to catch up with Wu Yingqi in the east of Zhenyuan, Guizhou. Then suddenly launched a mutiny, showed Wu Shifan's edict, hanged Wu Yingqi to death for treason, and then killed Wu Yingqi's two sons, Wu Shijun and Wu Shizhen, and wiped out the roots.On the other hand, Li Xiongfei relied on his own vigilance, and fled for his life immediately when he found that the situation was not right, and after relying on his own soldiers to fight to the death, he took two horses to take turns to escape, barely escaped from the chase, and escaped from Guizhou before Yuping Pass was closed.

After escaping from Guizhou, Li Xiongfei initially wanted to flee to Guangxi to seek help from Wu Yingqi's eldest son, Wu Shicong, and call the police. The imperial edict lured Wu Shicong to return to Yunnan, and at the same time charged Li Xiongfei with treason, and ordered the Wu army in Hunan to hunt down and kill Li Xiongfei with all his strength, so as to prevent future troubles!Forced to do nothing, Li Xiongfei had no choice but to hide his name and disguise himself as an ordinary citizen, and fled to Jiangxi from central Hunan, where the Wu army was relatively weakly defended. .

After listening to Li Xiongfei's long cry, Fatty Lu's heart became clear. He understood that Wu Yingqi was an idiot looking for death. As a last resort, in order not to cause greater turmoil, he had to kill people to eliminate the biggest hidden danger at the smallest cost!But precisely because of this, so……………

"Uncle! Uncle!" Fatty Lu beat his chest and stomped his feet, crying frantically with snot and tears, "Uncle, why did you leave like this? Just leave like this? You have shown me great kindness , I haven't even returned one ten-thousandth of it yet, why did you do this? I have prepared more than 3000 pieces of your favorite jewelry for you, why do you have the heart to leave me, my niece and son-in-law? Let me go, the doorman you picked out by yourself?!"

Crying and shouting, Fatty Lu knelt down on his knees again facing the southwest direction, desperately grabbing the ground with his head, crying crazily, crying until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, all the civil and military officials of the fatty army next to him were crying, and one after another Weeping bitterly, the scene was as if our second prince really liked the fat soldier.Among them, Wang Xu, the only one who was really crying, came up to help Fatty Lu, and persuaded with tears: "General, please mourn, don't cry yourself to death. This matter is also the second prince's own fault. The prince's bones were not cold, so he... . . . "

"The second prince is that kind of person, he has a mouth but no heart!" Fatty Lu cried even more, holding Wang Xu's hand and crying loudly, "Brother Wang, you are also the person who was used by the second prince. What kind of mouth and temper are you, the second prince?" Do you know? The number of times he usually scolds this and beats that and threatens to kill the whole family is less? But he put it into action that time? Second Prince, he was just talking casually to vent, and Guo Zhuangtu the dog thief He killed, and even killed his two sons, his heart is so vicious, I..., I..."

"Guo Zhuangtu, you dog thief!" Fatty Lu cried again, beating his chest and stamping his feet, "I won't cut you into pieces and execute you Ling Chi to avenge the second prince. I, Lu Yifeng, will swear not to be human!"

Wang Xu was indeed the general that Wu Yingqi single-handedly picked up. Knowing Wu Yingqi's stinking temper, he was also an honest person. When Fatty Lu said this, he immediately felt that Guo Zhuangtu was really too much. Wu Yingqi said he wanted to rebel, but Without taking action, Guo Zhuangtu directly killed Wu Yingqi, and also killed Wu Yingqi's two sons. The viciousness was indeed too vicious, and thinking of Wu Yingqi's kindness to him, Wang Xu couldn't help it again. Wept bitterly, and wept together with Fatty Lu holding his head.

"Pass my order!" Fatty Lu cried and ordered: "The whole army hangs filial piety, the flag is lowered at half-mast in January, and mourns for the prince and the second prince! A mourning hall will be built in the imperial city of Nanjing for the prince, the second prince and my benefactor Sacrifice to Liu Xuanchu's spiritual throne! Let Gao Dejie, Han Daren, Li Guodong, and Yang Yingyuan, the elders of the Pingxi Palace, let the four major legions pay their respects together, and let them go back to Nanjing for the funeral, and discuss the plan of revenge!"

"Understood, the student will do it immediately." Wang Shaobo agreed, wiping his tears, and asked again: "Master, how do you write the spiritual positions of the prince and the second prince? Is it the prince of the Great Zhou, or the great emperor of the Great Zhou?"

"Let's write about the Prince of Great Zhou." Fatty Lu cried bitterly and said, "We still don't know who is keeping the imperial edict given to us by the imperial edict. If we enshrine the imperial edict without receiving the imperial edict, we will give others an excuse. "

Wang Shaobo nodded, stopped talking, and hurriedly led a group of fat military civilian officials to arrange and arrange, but Lu Fatty cried again, "Guo Zhuangtu! The dog thief! It must be you, the dog thief, who did it on purpose. Withholding the imperial edict from the prince, intentionally withholding the imperial edict from the prince to our Jiangnan army in the Great Zhou Dynasty! I won’t cut you into pieces, I’m living like a human—!”

(Guo Zhuangtu: Fatty Lu, you have to be ashamed. I have been in Kunming all the time. The edict given to you by your father-in-law was passed along the Yangtze River waterway. What deduction do I get?)
There are many people and strength. The mourning hall for old traitor Wu and Wu Yingqi was set up in the Fengtian Hall of the former Ming Palace that day. Fatty Lu personally led hundreds of officials to burn incense and pay homage. Dressed in filial piety, Chang Han Daren hurried back to Nanjing, rushed directly to the mourning hall of old traitor Wu, knelt down and cried loudly, cursing that Guo Zhuangtu was not as good as a beast, he killed the beloved son of the prince of Zhou before his bones were cold, and acted perversely , The rampant conduct of wrongdoing and evil is simply unheard of and unseen!And begged Fatty Lu to raise an army against rebellion, kill Guo Zhuangtu and his accomplices and accomplices, and rebuild the Great Zhou Dynasty!Fatty Lu agreed with tears in his eyes, and wept and fainted together with Han Daren—it was really crying, not laughing.

Two days later, Gao Dejie and Li Guodong, two old Wu soldiers and fat generals, ran back to Nanjing together, knelt and wept in front of the traitor Wu's spirit, and in the mourning hall of the traitor Wu, met Lu Fatzi and Han Daren. Wu Jun, Wang Xu, Gao Hongchen, Han Yuanren and other Wu Jun elders took an oath of blood, decided to play the banner of "Fengtian against rebellion", spread it to the world, and called on all the old people in the Pingxi Palace to join forces and join forces with the Fatty Army to crusade against Guo Zhuangtu, the number one traitor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his army. Party feathers, avenge Wu Yingqi, the prince of the Great Zhou who was killed innocently!Reshape the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Of course, if the old traitor Wu can appear, he will stand on the coffin and point at Fatty Lu's nose and growl, "Who is the number one traitor in the Great Zhou?!"

It was night, Fatty Lu once again personally led a group of old Wu Jun to guard the spirit of old traitor Wu and Wu Yingqi. After guarding the spirit of old traitor Wu alone for a while, and asking Xiao Erlang to bring a jug of wine and a wine glass, he ordered everyone to leave the mourning hall.

After everyone left, Fatty Lu stood up, walked to Old Traitor Wu's spirit tablet, filled a glass of wine, held up the glass and murmured to Old Traitor Wu's spirit tablet, "Old Traitor Wu, remember the last time we parted, I once said that after you die, I will give you a fair evaluation. Today, I am going to fulfill my promise. If I am wrong, you are so tolerant. If you are right, please bless me and let me go earlier Unify the world and reshape China."

"Old traitor Wu, in this life, your merits and demerits will be divided into two and eight." Lu Fatty said softly: "Introduce Qing soldiers into the pass, serve as a dog for Mi Qing, kill anti-Qing righteous people, and kill Yongli Emperor, it is a stain that you will never wash away, no matter how you explain it, how you beautify it, and how I will cover it up for you in the future, the filth of your betrayal of the country and glory will never be washed away, never covered up, when it goes underground, the ancestors of China They will not forgive you either. You have failed in the battle for hegemony, and you died at the last moment before the complete victory, which is your retribution."

"But grandfather, you are not completely without credit." Fatty Lu suddenly changed his address, and murmured in a low voice: "It is your filial piety to save your father when you were 13; guard Shanhaiguan for 20 years, and stay alone for five years. It is your loyalty to swear not to surrender Man Gou to the death; Man Gou enters the customs, among the four traitor kings, only you have not slaughtered Han Chinese cities for Man Gou, and you would rather endure hardships than dig people's dikes, it is your benevolence; treat kindly Family subordinates, it is your righteousness to keep your word. In the end, you repented and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. No matter in this history or in the original history, you are the Han Chinese who wiped out the most sinful dogs and parasites on the battlefield. This is your work, your first contribution."

"Your second contribution is in the southwest." Fatty Lu continued: "In the period of history I live in, without you, Southwest Yunnan and Guizhou would be the second cantaloupe and the second plateau in the late Qing Dynasty. Guiyang in the late Qing Dynasty also had to pay homage to the extravagant family and set up a monument to commemorate it. On the heads of the poor fourth-class Han people in the post-Qing Dynasty, there will be another third-class people who show their might. No matter how others understand it, I insist that you Having made great achievements in the Southwest is also the second part of your sinful life."

"Grandfather, thank you." Fatty Lu tilted his wine glass slightly, slowly sprinkled the wine on the spirit of old traitor Wu, and said in a low voice: "Without you, I would not be here today. There will be today’s sunset, and I can’t see the hope of reshaping China. If I can have such a day, I will definitely treat your children and grandchildren kindly, and repay... your kindness.”

The wine was gradually poured out, and two tears also fell from the corners of Fatty Lu's eyes. This time, Fatty Lu's tears really flowed.
