Chapter 3: The Heroes of the Heroes (2)

In Chengdu, Sichuan, in the grand and magnificent Shu King's Mansion, Shu King Zhu Zhishu was anxiously paced back and forth in the study, lowering his head, muttering in his mouth, and occasionally clenching his fists in contemplation, constantly looking out of the study, as if he was waiting for something?

"Your Majesty, Yao Chongwen is back." Xiao Chunzi, the close eunuch of Shu King Zhu Zhishu, suddenly stood outside the study and reported.

"Why are you still standing there? Let him come to see me!" Zhu Zhishu rubbed his hands nervously and shouted to Xiaochunzi.

"Yes, Prince!" Xiao Chunzi was obviously used to the master's attitude, so she quickly turned around and summoned him.

After about a cup of tea, two clear footsteps sounded from far to near. Soon, two figures appeared in front of the study. Xiao Chunzi was naturally walking in front of him. Behind him was a middle-aged man with a kind appearance, but he was sweating. The square scarf wrapped on his head was a bit crooked. It was obvious that he was in a hurry to go and didn't pay attention.

"Yao Chongwen kowtows to the prince!"

"No, get up quickly and tell me. Have you found out everything clearly?" Zhu Zhishu couldn't wait to step forward and asked.

"Prince..." Yao Chongwen looked bitter.

"What's wrong? Is Zhu Xieyuan unwilling to cause trouble?" Zhu Zhishu's heart twitched suddenly and asked nervously.

"Prince, Governor Zhu not only does not want to cause trouble, but also asks me to persuade the prince to give up this idea in time, otherwise it will be too late to regret." Yao Chongwen said with a embarrassed look on his face.

"What?" Zhu Zhishu was so shocked that he almost fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Chunzi stood beside him and helped him in time.

"Prince!" Yao Chongwen said in shock.

"I'm fine. Zhu Xieyuan, an ungrateful thing, had to be appreciated by me from time to time, so how could he have the same status as he is today!" Zhu Zhishu was still a little calm. Although his face was pale, he cursed without forgiveness.

"Prince, Zhu Xieyuan is the governor of Sichuan. If he does not support you, we have no hope of success at all!" Yao Chongwen said.

"What should I do? The family armor in the royal palace is ready. Should I let the foolish monarch who betrays his ancestors and wantonly harm the royal family?" Zhu Zhishu was extremely shocked and his chest was fluctuating.

"Prince, Governor Zhu said that if he followed the prince at this moment, he would be the sinner of the nation. No matter who is sitting in the Forbidden City in Beijing, the country must not be in chaos now. The emperor outside the pass is eyeing him and is worried about internal and external troubles. Although the emperor immediately made mistakes, he was also for our Ming Dynasty. The prince must not do the thing that has been infatuated for thousands of years and has been scolded by future generations!"

"Fuck, Zhu Xieyuan is now a dog of the foolish monarch. He has been a terrifying dog for thousands of years. Later generations cursed him. The world was originally the late emperor. Now the lineage of the late emperor has not been cut off. If it is his turn to inherit the throne, it will be unpleasant. If his throne comes from the wrong one, it will be inappropriate. If I turn against him, it is in accordance with the will of heaven. What's wrong with me?" Zhu Zhishu's face turned red in an instant, and he cursed.

"Prince, you'd better give up. As long as the court doesn't know you have such an idea, Governor Zhu also said that as long as you give up this idea, he will be able to keep the prince in good condition even if he's broken." Yao Chongwen knelt down and begged.

"He will protect my king. It's a joke. What he wants to protect is probably his own wealth and glory!" Zhu Zhishu sneered.

"But Prince, we only have a few thousand families at present. Although many generals in the army are willing to follow the prince, if Zhu Xieyuan really wants to go against the prince, we have no chance of success at all." Yao Chongwen saw that the King of Shu seemed to be eating a weight and was determined to rebel. He quickly persuaded him that although everyone yearned for wealth and honor, he must have life and enjoyment. Now there is obvious that there is only a dead end to rebel.

"What's wrong with thousands of families? As long as I lead people into the Governor's Mansion and control Zhu Xieyuan, everything is in my hands!" Zhu Zhishu, the King of Shu, took his leave. Since he had moved this mind and deployed everything secretly, he knew that there was no way to go back. Now it was one step away. Now it was the best time to rebellion. The imperial army was trapped in the quagmire of Xiangxi. The army in Huguang not only wanted to quell the rebellion, but also guarded against Wei Zhongxian's counterattack in the east, and had no time to worry about himself. If he didn't rebel, when would he wait?

"Prince, have you decided?" Yao Chongwen looked at his master with horror. He didn't expect that in such a situation without any chance of winning, the King of Shu would do his best to make a desperate bet. What's the difference between killing him?

Zhu Zhishu had his plan. As long as he captured the Sichuan Governor Zhu Xieyuan, everything would be solved. Although for more than two hundred years, every emperor had not been at ease with the vassal kings in various places and then strictly monitored it, the king of Shu, who had a history of more than two hundred years, has become a huge interest group in Sichuan. Among this interest group, there are officials and merchants. The leader is the king of Shu of all generations. It can be said that it is a community of destiny. If he rebelled, these people would definitely stand on his side. Whether it was clear or a hidden expression of support, it was precisely because of this that Zhu Zhishu believed that he still had a try and became the veritable king of Shu. He was defeated and confiscated and destroyed the family. However, even if he cut off this idea now, if there is any link in the future, the fate of his family would probably be the same tragic. Therefore, why not try hard at this time?

On the tenth day of November of the first year of Chongzhen, on the evening half a month after Qin Liangyu and Zhu Xieyuan received the imperial edict to prepare for the expedition to Guizhou, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, suddenly rebelled and led thousands of royal family members to besiege the Governor's Office. Tens of thousands of soldiers from Shu were involved in the turmoil. Sichuan general Du Wenhuan covered the seriously injured Zhu Xieyuan and fled to Chongqing. Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, occupied Chengdu, spread the world and supported the Honglong court in Nanjing. The news reached Nanjing. The young emperor was only one year old.

The emperor announced that the iron certificate and alchemy book were awarded to the King of Shu, which was inherited. No matter how serious the iron certificate and alchemy book were, they could be spared three times. They also ordered him to guard Shu, which was almost equal to the power of Taizu's enfeoffment of the kings of the kings in the world. Even more than that, it also gave a heart-warming point to the vassal kings in the royal family. As long as they turned against Emperor Chongzhen, the land they captured would be under their control. Under such great temptation, there was a surge in the places under the control of the Northern Dynasties, and the wind and clouds changed color.

Some things are unpredictable, especially in this era of extremely underdeveloped communications, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable. The rebellion of the King of Shu was completely beyond Zhu Yinglong's expectations. A series of changes made Zhu Yinglong suddenly feel that he might not have such fantasies. It would be great that he could save his family's life. Why do you have to do so many things?

The changes in the following matters were very dramatic. Sichuan general Du Wenhuan and others protected the Governor General and retreated into Chongqing. They immediately received the Shizhu general Qin Liangyu led an army of 40,000 to join. By chance, the more than 30,000 strong men transferred from Shaanxi to Qin Liangyu were asked to go south to ping She Chongming and An Bangyan in Guizhou, and assisted Hong Chengchou to blockade Wu Heimiao in western Hunan, but now he has become the backbone of quelling the rebellion of the King of Shu.

Governor Zhu Xieyuan was seriously injured, and he was not young, and he was exhausted all the way. In addition, the King of Shu, who had the kindness of his knowing love, turned against him and became enemies. His body suddenly collapsed. The person who presided over the overall situation in Chongqing suddenly became Qin Liangyu. He collected the remaining soldiers and obtained more than 20,000 yuan, and reorganized them and handed them over to Du Wenhuan. With the one million taels of silver allocated by the court, he gave sufficient military expenses to suppress the rebellion. Although the King of Shu was known as 300,000 yuan, the King of Shu lost his troops and generals for three days and nights. Qin Liangyu's reputation once again shocked Shu. The Baigang Army also became one of the few powerful troops in the world. The King of Shu knew that he did not have the ability to conquer Chongqing, so he had to temporarily retreat to Chengdu to consolidate the territory and power that had already been captured.
