Chapter Ninety-Seven: The King Unknown Aconitum White

Zhu Cihong's heart was extremely anxious, since the Qing army entered the customs, the happy life as a member of the Zhu family had actually ended, but at the beginning, no one realized this. Especially after the Manchus quickly realized that they had to purge Li Zicheng's rebel army and a gang of outlaws from the north, the original Manchus did not realize the political and military weakness of the Ming ranks. In particular, the party struggle between Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng in the Hongguang regime and the mutual killing of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, Jia Zhu took Jinyiwei to save him, and it was also at this time that he met Lin Daiyu, who was still a child.

Zhu Cihong remembered every day of life in the temple with these young boys and girls and the widows of the nobles, despite the difficult days, they couldn't stop the young smiling faces, Ma Daopo was scolding people every day, she got some money after taking these old and young noble girls to meet Emperor Hongguang, and was arranged in this temple, and sent a few special people to take care of Zhu Cihong's life and daily life, and called them to get up and work every day, these girls couldn't stand this rough Taoist woman, and scolded her in private. But Zhu Cihong felt that this scolding was all music, because only when he woke up every morning and heard Ma Daopo scolding made him feel that a new day had come again.

There are constantly ministers of the Ming Dynasty to meet him, he is actually under house arrest here, Emperor Hongguang handed him over to Jia Zhu to guard, Emperor Hongguang trusts Jia Zhu, not only because he took a fancy to Jia Zhu's sister Yuanchun, thinking about how to make him his queen, but also because Jia Zhu is his cousin, Jia Zhu's father Jia Zheng changed his name to Jia Zheng because he succeeded Jia Daishan, in fact, it was just the result of the emperor using the minister to entrap the minister, he was actually the blood of the Zhu family, and Jia Zhu was still loyal to the Nanjing government. Zhu Cihong has nothing to pin on, only in the face of Jia Zhu and Cao Yun, he will really have a little brotherly sincerity.

Jia Zheng first became an official of the Qing Dynasty, but all the disciples of the Zhu family knew that he was just to cover the nursery hall left by Jia Daishan and the children of the Ming Dynasty royal family hidden in the nursery hall, and he was the last bit of support left by the Ming Dynasty regime. Emperor Hongguang originally wanted to wait for the political situation to stabilize a little and take those children back to Nanjing, but what he didn't expect was that there was no way to stop the Qing army's attack and the Ming army's mutiny.

Emperor Hongguang's court recognized this prince at the same time, but also let Jia Zhu judge whether the prince who came out of the country is real, Jia Zhu asked Cao Yun to guard him, and invited Liu Zhenyuan to be a housekeeper to accompany this prince to live a life, Liu Zhenyuan is very worried, he is a very sensitive person to politics, although he is unwilling to come out to be an official, but being a Qingke is first-class. He quickly saw that it was extremely stupid for the emperor to let people identify the prince in the Manchurian court, this Hongguang Emperor as a cousin could not judge the identity of the prince at all, which must have made the people very incomprehensible, such news should not have been spread, but there was no way, where there were people, there was right and wrong, Liu Zhenyuan told Jia Zhu to block all the news, but he couldn't stop those ministers of the Ming Dynasty from visiting him. Liu Zhenyuan secretly assassinated him regardless of whether it was true or not, because any delay would be detrimental to Emperor Hongguang. Jia Zhu disagreed, and did not sue the emperor about this relatively correct way of handling it.

But precautions didn't have much effect, especially Ruan Dacheng made a list with the help of the fake prince to purge the ministers who opposed him, Zhu Cihong didn't like this Ruan Dacheng out of his heart after seeing this, because he was tortured here. Jia Zhu broke into the execution chamber and ordered Duan Chuanxiu and Cao Yun to stop the criminal punishment with arrows.

With his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty government, he advised Ma Shiying to focus on the overall situation and not to use this list to fight the already weak resistance, Ma Shiying agreed with Jia Zhu's opinion this time and stopped Ruan Dacheng.

Emperor Hongguang's indecisive handling of this matter really made his imperial prestige plummet, Jia Zhu looked gloomily at the emperor's heart-wrenching thoughts about his sister and the rewards he kept giving himself, after which Jia Zhu rescued Concubine Tong and resolutely refused to let Emperor Hongguang give people a handle on the matter of Concubine Tong.

Zhu Cihong saw Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu at this time, these two children hid under a peach tree to read, the sunshine of that day was really the last time he saw in his life, Cao Yun, who guarded him, was indeed an honest man with a kind heart, but he saw that the weather was good, and offered to let Zhu Cihong go to the back garden to take a turn, he followed from afar, Zhu Cihong saw Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu after being here, he was really stunned, he had seen too many girls and boys who were as rich as jade, these two were very different, He saw the two silent children reading a book together in the courtyard, and hid behind a flower tree. The girl was holding the book and reading intently, and the boy was looking at the book and looking at the girl, obviously a little distracted. Then he heard the boy who was not yet ten years old saying, "You are the face of the country and the city, and I am the sentimental body." The girl's cheeks were crimson, and she scolded: "If you talk about it again, I will go and sue Brother SΓΉ." ”

This was the first time he met Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. This world of pure boys and girls was so beautiful that he almost froze. Many years later, all the beauty he could think of was at this time when the flowers were flying.

The second time I saw these two people was in Beijing, when the prince of Beijing saw Lin Daiyu in Ni San's courtyard, he hid behind the curtain and saw Jia Baoyu come to help Lin Daiyu rescue a child, and it was at this time that he was quietly captured and taken away by Jia Zhu. was brought to this iron mask. Too many times in his desperate imagination he hoped that this girl could be his savior, but the truth was always cruel, his most reluctant to cooperate King Beijing helped him again and again, but the Ming government he pinned his hopes on put him in a position of no return again and again, and now when he thought he could take revenge, his savior came to ruin the face of his existence.

The prince of Beijing dissuaded the crazy iron-masked prince. King Beijing didn't care whether this prince of the Zhu family was Zhu Cihong, he just wanted to use this to attack the Ming Dynasty government. After his direct and indirect infiltration, the Nine Kings were punished and Ni San was arrested, but he sympathized with this poor man who had been robbed of face by his own people. He persuaded him to go with him to see the emperor, or the emperor could give him a way to live and find a good doctor for him to heal his face.

Zhu Cihong didn't dare to go, after all, he was left under a knife on the execution ground, and he was afraid of this little emperor. Even this little emperor has not embarrassed him. Even if he captured the biggest underworld boss in the capital that year, Ni San did not embarrass himself. Let the King of Beijing properly arrange for himself to study weapons in the Phantom Sword Villa. As soon as the Emperor arrived at the Phantom Sword Villa, he dodged it.

King Beijing smiled: "Are you still worried that I will harm you, if I want to harm you, I don't have to wait until today, let's go to see the emperor together." ”
