Chapter 97 Art comes from life higher than life

There were dozens of strong men sitting or standing, with long gowns and short jackets, and they were both old and young. Although they had put their weapons outside, the dart bags and knives on their bodies all showed that they were people in the martial arts world who practiced martial arts.

The old charlatan Wei Wuya seemed to be very familiar with these people, and shouted loudly. Seeing Li Si coming over and hurriedly recommending: "Li... brother, this is Qiansui, the King of Tang."

"Tang...Tang...Tang...Tang King?" Li Si was going to prepare to salute when he heard the name of King Tang, but when he saw the appearance of the King of Tang, the courtesy did not continue and was stunned.

The title of King Tang, the same high as King Fu, King Gui, and King Lu, is the blood of the royal family, but the person in front of him... is the King of Tang or the Great Hero of Tang?

The man, who was called King of Tang by Wei Wuya, was tall and big, slightly taller than Li Si. He wore a yellow gown with a tightly-breasted piece, which was barely clean. He was wearing a cowhide belt with a wide palm around his waist and black crotch pants on his lower body. He looked like a martial artist who was dressed up clearly, and he was preparing to go out for a show. How could he look like the King of Tang?

Is this the King of Tang?

Wei Wuya's hometown is Fengyang, and the Tang King has been in Fengyang for more than ten or twenty years. If even the Tang King could make a mistake, the old charlatan would definitely find a stone to hit him and kill him.

Li Si did not doubt the old charlatan's ability to do things, but he didn't expect that King Tang would be like this.

King Zhu Youjian of Tang was not a big deal at all, but instead clasped his fists at Li Siyi: "This is Li Si, the great hero who kills Huang Taiji. I have been revered for a long time."

"The army to command the death...loyalty... I am going to greet the King of Tang." The King of Tang used the etiquette of the martial arts world, and Li Si could not change his official title, so he could only claim to be the one with vague words. He simply avoided the formal etiquette and clasped his fists at the King of Tang.

"This is Xiang Dangjia from the Sanxiang Society, this is the leader of the Liu Gang of the Tiger Gang..." The Tang King introduced the men around him to Li Si one by one, all famous heroes in the world. After the introduction, he said: "These are my sworn brothers, and they are all friends who have committed suicide. Today I am here to help the prince do great things."

Li Si was sweating profusely.

This is not what the King of Tang is, he is clearly the first brother in the world.

Although the King of Tang was a famous hero in history and Li Si was somewhat prepared psychologically, he still did not expect that the most iron-blooded and righteous Tang King would look like this throughout the post-Chongzhen era.

When Li Zicheng was in a dim situation in Henan, the Tang King, who had no soldiers in his hands, organized a force to fight against the rebel army. At the oath-taking ceremony, he made a fortune with a group of heroes from the world, and burned yellow paper to kill the chicken's head and bowed.

How could a dignified prince do this? I thought this was just an artistic processing for later generations, but today I realized that art comes from the truth that life is higher than life.

Historically, during the decades of the post-Chongzhen era, the Zhu family lineage was extremely declining. The traces of the prince were confusing and life and death were hard to tell, let alone King Fu, this fat pig that would only harm the common people could be ignored directly. The "sage appearance" deliberately pretended by the Lu King Zhu Changqing was thrown cleanly in front of the knife of the Manchus. The remaining royal children of the Lu King, King Gui, stared at the throne with their eyes tightly. Their own people beat their own people and they were too busy. How could they have time to do serious business?

Only the Tang King Zhu Youjian is a real person. To be precise, he is the only man with blood in the old Zhu family.

When Li Chuang was in Henan, no one of the kings in the world ran far away? Only this Tang King dared to lead some men from the world to swear an oath to attack Li Chuang, and fought with the Chuang Army with real swords and guns.

No matter how unbearable the rebel army was, it was the army after all; no matter how high the brothers under the King of Tang were, they were the mobs. The King of Tang was defeated without any suspense in the battle he fought with Li Chuang.

But this kind of blood really boosted the decadence of the world.

What a pity, this Tang King is different from other princes. He has neither fiefdom nor strength. He just relies on his personal prestige to gather some figures in the martial arts world.

Why did the King of Tang not have a fiefdom? Even if he does not have a fiefdom, he should have his own power, right?

None.

Because the Tang King himself was a high-ranking prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian was the only backbone prince of the Ming Dynasty and the most unlucky man in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the age of twelve, he was imprisoned for inexplicable family disputes and was imprisoned for more than ten years. Later, because the old Tang King died, he finally saw the light of heaven again.

Otherwise, Zhu Youjian was an unlucky child. Zhu Youjian, who had just left for a long time, entered the palace again. The reason is very simple. The younger brother of the old King of Tang, Zhu Youjian's uncle, was jealous of the position of the prince, so he naturally had to find ways to mess with Zhu Youjian again.

This time I went in for seven years.

It's really unlucky.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian was released again.

Zhu Youjian, who was free, wanted to regain his throne. After more than three years of running around and completely disappointed with the Ming Dynasty's judicial system. Without saying a word, he personally stabbed his uncle into a bloody gourd with a knife.

The prince was stabbed to death in the downtown area. The storm that year was very chaotic. The suffering Fengzi Longsun gathered a group of brothers in the world and went to fight for the thieves, but was defeated.

Chongzhen also knew Zhu Youjian's suffering, but he really could not tolerate such an alien. He took this opportunity to settle the new and old accounts together.

In theory, Chongzhen did it quite authentic. You are indeed the true genital king of Tang, so you should be the King of Tang. However, you, the King of Tang, are too lawless, so let you go to prison with the King of Tang hat.

Because of his special identity, a criminal like Zhu Youjian, a king of Tang, naturally could not be imprisoned, but was banned according to the ancestral system. It was called a ban, but was actually sent to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tombs, and his personal freedom was restricted. Zhu Youjian spent most of his life in Fengyang, and he had nothing to do all day. Coupled with these years of experience, especially his generous style, he made the grassroots everywhere compete to meet, and he was obviously the leader of the Ming Dynasty.

If nothing unexpected happens, King Zhu Youjian of Tang will only drink and eat meat in Fengyang and other rich men in the world in their entire life, and do some chivalrous and righteous actions.

An accident happened: Emperor Chongzhen died for his country, and the Ming Dynasty fell halfway.

With Zhu Youjian's identity and strength, it is naturally impossible to compete with the kings for the remaining half of the Jiangnan area, so no force has taken care of this Tang King with no political future.

It was not until Hongguang became emperor that he remembered that there was such a master in Fengyang, so he issued an order to release him.

The King of Tang has regained his freedom, but it is impossible to have things like fiefdom and territory. Fortunately, he doesn't care about these things, and he becomes more and more bold in becoming a hero in Fengyang.
