Chapter 117 The name is right
At the end of June, the huge changes in the southwest were continuing to ferment, and the court had no choice but to do anything. Chen Wen's envoy arrived at this time. Yongli seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, and even breathing became a little difficult. Seeing this, Yongli quickly sent an eunuch to serve the emperor's mansion to send an order to the King of Jin, asking Li Dingguo to come immediately, and at the same time instructed another eunuch to ask Chen Wen's envoy to rest in the side hall for a while.
Li Dingguo received the imperial edict and hurriedly came from the mansion. When he arrived, Zhang Jun had been waiting in the side hall for a while. Yongli was not willing to summon him without the presence of Li Dingguo, nor did he show his fear in front of Chen Wen's people. He had to instruct the eunuch to teach the envoy the etiquette of facing the king, and barely survived until Li Dingguo arrived. The monarch and minister discussed for a while before they invited the envoy to come into the hall.
"I, the general officer of Yangzhou Town, the general governor of the Left Army Governor's Office, and the head of the Special Section of the Supervision Department of the King of Qi, will I beg you to see my emperor."
The General of Yangzhou Town and the Governor of the Left Army Governor's Office were both appointed by the Ming court. Although Zhang Jun had never fulfilled the duties of such official positions, and even the Governor's Office of the Five Army Governor's Office was already in name only on the territory of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, when they met the emperor, they still had to give the court such face. However, even so, Zhang Jun did not miss his position in the Qi Palace, so he naturally made his position clear.
"Flat."
Zhang Jun emphasized the identity of the head of the Special Section of the Supervision Department of the King of Qi's Mansion. With the resume of the Ministry of War, Yongli also knew that the general of Yangzhou Town was actually Chen Wen's first personal captain and the most confidant figure.
He looked at Li Dingguo, and Yongli signaled Zhang Jun to avoid courtesy. Then he introduced Li Dingguo in the hall to him. Zhang Jun did not show any abnormality, and he even had no interest in this famous general of the world. He performed the etiquette like a ritual, so he turned his attention to Yongli, whose purpose was obvious.
"You, what's the matter here?"
After saluting Li Dingguo, Zhang Jun turned his head and looked at him. Although he did not look directly, he could still see the emperor in front of him clearly.
Looking closely, the person sitting upright on the dragon chaise in the hall was so handsome. Even Zhang Jun was shocked when he looked at the emperor's appearance. However, for a long time, he had been in contact with Jishumi, and Zhang Jun knew much more than others. Although he was surprised by the emperor's aura, once he remembered the emperor, who was nicknamed by Chen Wen, who fled since he ascended the throne, he immediately turned into contempt.
"I have become the appearance of a deputy emperor in plain sight."
Thinking of this in my heart, he was still so respectful on his face. Since Yongli had this question, Zhang Jun replied in accordance with etiquette and neither humble nor arrogantly: "Report to Your Majesty, I am hereby the order of my king and I have something specially sent to you to see."
After this statement was expressed, Yongli frowned. The things Chen Wen sent at this critical moment were definitely not good, but he simply didn't look at them like a turtle, but he also lost his imperial demeanor.
Since this is the case, Yongli had to let the eunuch who was serving around him take over the brocade box from Zhang Jun. However, the brocade box was taken over and sent to the imperial case. The eunuch was afraid that there were hidden weapons or poisons in it, so he was about to open the box to check it out, but he was immediately blocked by Zhang Jun.
"Your Majesty, before I came, my king once instructed that the things in this brocade box are of great importance, so it is best for Your Majesty to check them out in person. If others know about it, it will be detrimental to the Tian family."
Zhang Jun's move was very rude, and Li Dingguo immediately glared at him. However, before Li Dingguo could scold him, Yongli waved the eunuch back and then said to Li Dingguo: "My dear, since it is the kindness of His Highness the King of Qi, I will check it out personally as he said."
Chen Wen's current power is not to commit the assassination of Yongli, especially when the situation will inevitably be out of control. Yongli is timid, but he is not a fool. Although he still took the brocade box tremblingly, he still did not use his hands to open the lid of the brocade box directly.
There are no poisons in the brocade box, and there are only two obvious things, a hard-skinned gold-clad, a gold-clad, and a gold medal, that's all.
However, when Yongli saw these two things, sweat immediately emerged. He also had these two things when he was in the Gui Palace, but they were very different from those in his hands. Instead, it was the same as his son, Zhu Cixuan, the prince of the Yongli Dynasty, who was carved out of the same mold, and the difference was the handwriting on it.
The gold medal was placed on the top, but Yongli did not pick it up. Instead, he opened the memorial first, as if the gold medal was cast, which was not as true as the memorial written in cinnabar.
"Zhu Ci, biological mother, Concubine Tian, the sixth year of Chongzhen..."
The beginning was just a few words, but Yongli was immediately shocked and his hands trembled, and the memorial fell on the imperial case.
"His Majesty?"
"I'm fine, don't come over!"
Yongli raised his hand and stopped Li Dingguo and the eunuch. Then he trembled his hands and picked up the note again, and looked at the words behind it carefully.
"...Jiadong Factory, Jinyiwei and Concubine Tian each deposit one, and archive it according to the rules."
At the end of the memorial, there were not many handwritings on it, but they were all as heavy as the mountains in central Yunnan. The shadow of the mountain covered Yongli's gaze, and Yongli immediately sat on the dragon throne. However, with the previous ban, Li Dingguo and the eunuch dared not come forward, so they could only look at the cowardly emperor with concern, and a glaring at Zhang Jun who was given a brocade box, as if this could cause substantial damage to Chen Wen and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group represented by Zhang Jun.
"I'm fine, it's fine."
After a long time, Yongli finally calmed down, but tears were already spinning in his eyes. Holding the pain of crying and losing voice, Yongli coughed lightly and said, "Your dear, please step back for now, I will check it carefully for a while."
Hearing this, although he was so strange that he had changed from "Qing" to "Love Qing" so quickly, Zhang Jun did not hesitate at all and quickly bowed and retreated. But at this moment, Yongli on the dragon throne directly shocked all the people present.
"I am talking about King Jin!"
"ah?"
Hearing this, Li Dingguo was stunned and then tentatively said to Yongli: "Your Majesty?"
"Your dear can no longer help me with this matter, so I'll do it myself."
"But……"
Seeing that Li Dingguo seemed a little hesitant about this, Yongli immediately stood up and shouted sternly: "Does the King of Jin want to see me cry?"
Tears were already squirting out. Seeing this scene, Li Dingguo hurriedly fell to the ground, saying he didn't dare, and then withdrew from the hall. At the same time, the eunuch was also swept away by Yongli, and the only ones left in the hall were Yongli sitting on the dragon throne and Zhang Jun standing in the hall.
In the empty hall, it was dark and silent. In such a space, some were just crying on the supreme position. After a long time, the crying gradually faded. Zhang Jun, who had always looked down at the floor tiles, heard Yongli's makeup tidying up, and then slowly raised his head.
"If I remember correctly, the owner of the Jade Phoenix and the Gold Medal should be King Yong, right?"
Yongli asked for inquiries, Zhang Jun raised his hand and bowed, and then replied: "Your Majesty is the fourth prince of Lieutenant."
"He is in Nanjing now?"
"No, Your Highness Yong is in Jinhua now."
Yongli also breathed a little relieved when the king and his ministers asked and answered each other. The person they mentioned was not someone else, but Zhu Ci, the male lead in the case of the famous Prince Zhu San, and the fourth son of Emperor Chongzhen.
During the Jiashen Incident, Zhu Ci captured Li Zicheng. When Li Zicheng was defeated, he also fled with him when he fled Beijing. As a result, when Li Zicheng failed again, Zhu Ci was trapped among the people and took him in for a gentry surnamed Wang and changed his name to Wang Shiyuan.
Five years later, the gentry surnamed Wang died of illness, and the Wang family did not dare to take him in. Zhu Ci once again went to the people and later became a monk in Jiangnan. It was not until a gentry surnamed Hu in Yuyao discovered that he was of extraordinary temperament and full of poetry and books, and advised him to marry into his family that this exile life came to an end.
In history, Zhu Ci was in an era when the Qing Dynasty killed the Ming royal family, but he was unable to be cautious in his words and actions. He leaked his identity several times and was finally executed by Kangxi Lingchi at the age of 75. The whole family either committed suicide or was executed, and none of them could be spared.
When Zhu Ci married into the Yuyao Hu family, Chen Wen had just gained a foothold in western Zhejiang and was facing the huge threat from Hong Chengchou. Next, Chen Wen defeated Hong Chengchou and rose up quickly. He soon remembered that the third prince Zhu seemed to be married into Shaoxing, so he sent Zhang Jun to find him personally, and finally lived up to expectations.
However, the third prince Zhu was not a casual person. As Chen Wen's strength became stronger and stronger, Zhu Ci, who was always under Zhang Jun's surveillance, made a plan to disclose his identity. As a result, when discussing with his father-in-law, the intelligence personnel sent to the Hu family discovered it, so he was reported to Chen Wen by Zhang Jun. Chen Wen sent Zhang Jun to put the Hu family under house arrest. The third person in the surveillance list of the Supervisory Site Department was the "Three Prince Zhu" who was actually the fourth son.
Zhu Ci is just a person who is not fistless and brave, and is under house arrest by the Supervisor Siteke. However, for Yongli, he is the most terrifying existence in the world, because his identity represents nothing else, but the fundamental orthodox nature of Yongli as the emperor!
The so-called orthodox is that the father died and the son succeeded, and then it was the brother-in-law who passed away. The emperor who lost Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was Chongzhen, and his sons were either dead or missing. In the next Southern Ming Dynasty, Hongguang was more orthodox than King Lu because he was Chongzhen's cousin. Although he could not be passed on his brother to his brother, he did not have the reason for his nephew to pass the throne to his cousin. The later case of the pseudo-pinning prince also had a legal basis for the outbreak.
As for the Kings of Lu, Longwu and Shaowu behind, the orthodox nature was even thinner, because Fufan, Lufan and Guifan at least had a common ancestor with Chongzhen, Wanli, and they were going to count on Zhu Yuanzhang.
With such bloodline, Yongli's ascension to the throne was more orthodox than King Lu and Shaowu, and was most qualified to be the common ruler of the world after Chongzhen. However, the most orthodox premise was that Chongzhen would be extinct, otherwise the brother would give way to his father and son to succeed him. Therefore, Zhu Ci's sudden appearance was naturally the most unacceptable thing for Yongli.
Chen Wen's move was nothing more than to tell Yongli that he had the capital and right to overturn the card table from beginning to end, and he acted in a legitimate manner. As the emperor, Yongli did not even have the right to refute, and it was even more impossible for the world to deny the orthodox nature of Chongzhen's son for his cousin, such as Chongzhen.
Yongli is unknown whether Chen Wen is in order to take into account the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty or to keep him at the end as a killer weapon, but this patience forced him to take the lead.
"Is this nephew okay?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Your Highness Yong is now eating well and sleeping. Now he has all his wife and children, but he always wants to go to Nanjing to pay homage to my king."
Zhang Jun's words were clearly threatening Yongli. However, today when the southwest was falling apart, the general trend was like this. With his temperament, he could not say anything refuted.
After a moment of silence in the hall, Yongli sighed before asking Zhang Jun: "What does Your Highness, King of Qi want me to do, what can I give it to me?"
The righteousness of the monarch and ministers no longer exists. What Yongli can do for the family is nothing more than a naked deal, that's all. On the dragon throne, the emperor's decadence and traditional education made Zhang Jun feel a little guilty, but once he thinks of Chen Wen, the coach who vows loyalty to him, this guilt will soon disappear without a trace, and the rest is nothing more than a naked deal.
"Responsible!"
These two words were heard, and Yongli immediately understood what Chen Wen wanted. Now Chen Wen is already an uncrowned king in half of the south of the Yangtze River, with power spread across the southeast. The disintegration of the Ming army in the southwest will definitely be the last beneficiary. At least Yongli alone has several vassal states prepared, and even expressed to Chen Wen the idea of changing the party.
Now Chen Wenfa is nothing more than the throne of an emperor, but this person is too determined. Only after seeing clearly the essence of the common ruler of the world can he continue to implement it. Even when facing such temptation, he is not moved, and he has no flaws at all.
"On the battlefield, one against two, or even one against five, dare to take the lead in charge, but in the overall situation, he can be so arrogant and impatient. The King of Qi is talented and defeated me a hundred times. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with."
Sighing, Yongli felt that the sighs in his life seemed to be as good as today. Even when he was under house arrest by Sun Kewang in Anlong, he was completely incomparable. After looking back, Yongli took a deep breath and said to Zhang Jun: "I can promise your king. I just want to know what your king can give me now?"
Halfway through the task, Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, my king promised that he could give His Majesty two options. First, the feudal South Ocean was located in Myanmar, south of Yunnan. My king predicted that there would be trouble in Myanmar within two or three years. My king was willing to support a batch of money and food to help His Majesty defeat the Burmese army."
"What about the other one?"
"Similar to the old rules of the Zhou Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, I will regard Your Majesty and His Majesty's descendants as guests of the state and enjoy wealth and honor forever. My king said that neither Your Majesty nor the prince was the king of revival. A prince of Taiping, a rich and prosperous life is more suitable for Your Majesty. Of course, the choice of power is in the hands of Your Majesty, and my king has no intention of persecution, it is just a suggestion."
Chen Wen was unwilling to kill him. This was the best news Yongli has heard in these days, but the sadness was too heavy, and heavier, "I understand, but I need time to think about it."
"Your Majesty has time to consider. My king is not in a hurry to ask for an answer. As long as your Majesty issues the imperial edict appointed by the state supervisor first, the rest will be fine after the Northern Expedition is over."
……………………
The imperial edict was issued, Zhang Jun set off and left. Li Dingguo walked into the hall with grief and anger, loudly told Yongli that he was willing to send troops himself to fight to the death with Chen Wenjue.
"My destiny is gone."
"Your Majesty, the war is in chaos. How could King Yong escape to Zhejiang so by chance and escape under his nose? Don't you think this is probably a trap?"
Seeing this prince who was born as a bandit, Yongli shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew very well that only Chen Wen could compete with this prince in terms of military use, but when it comes to politics, there is nothing to say.
"I haven't thought about it, but I think, even if he sends someone directly to me to find a position of governor, would I dare not give it to him?"
It was indeed unnecessary to do this. Li Dingguo fell into silence immediately. The king and his minister looked at each other speechlessly. It was late at night and Li Dingguo stood up to say goodbye and was about to return home. Yongli said something quietly, but he didn't know whether this was for him to listen to himself, Li Dingguo, or someone else's words.
"In this way, it is at least stronger than the whereabouts of the world to the hands of the Tartars. He is a Han Chinese and will be the leader of the Han family. He should abandon the dross of the imperial Ming Dynasty, leave those good things, and continue to carry forward the Chinese civilization. It should be like this. If so, I have an explanation for the ancestors and clans."
