Cai Wei closed her eyes, shook her head, and continued to lie: "I don't know, I only vaguely remember that there was a shark in the sea who wanted to eat us, and His Highness fought with that shark in order to protect me, and then, the waves washed us away, and I don't know where he is now." ”

"But I believe that he will be all right, for I am connected to his husband and wife, and if anything really happens to him, I will not be ignorant. Since Gan Tang and I can be rescued by two weak women, he has martial arts and is auspicious, he will definitely be rescued in distress. ”

Liu Rushi was a little skeptical about her husband and wife's heart-to-heart statement, but when she was too afraid of losing her beloved husband, she thought that no news was good news, and she didn't want to think about whether King Linchuan might have encountered any accidents.

"Yes, His Royal Highness is the grandson of the dragon and the phoenix, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune and turn danger into safety, but it's just ......"

She thought about it, and saw Cai Wei's bright eyes looking at her, and still said: "It's just that because there is still no whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Linchuan for so many days, many people think that he is ......, and the Tartars say that Emperor Linde and King Yingchuan were also captured by them, saying that the imperial system of our Yan and Qin Dynasty has been broken, and the people of Jiangnan, Fujian, and Huguang provinces are ordered to take the initiative to surrender." ”

"I'm afraid that this is mostly a rumor deliberately created by the Tartar Emperor. That Hao Duo was seriously wounded, and it was unlikely that he would raise another army in Jiangnan for the time being, and his Royal Highness fell into the sea and his whereabouts were unknown, so the Tartar Emperor came up with this idea, so that the people of my southern provinces would think that the country had no king, and they would lose their fighting spirit, so that they could take the remaining half of our dynasty without much effort and without a fight. This Tartar Emperor is really calculating! ”

"However, there is one thing that the Tartar Emperor did not expect."

Liu Rushi said: "The first emperor handed down this lineage, now there are few people, only Emperor Linde and Yingchuan, Linchuan two county kings, if these three are really as the rumors say, then the first emperor's line of the emperor is broken, but there are some other distant clans that were lucky not to die in the hands of the Dashun army and the Tartars still exist in the world." ”

Cai Wei immediately remembered that Emperor Hongwu, who drove away the Mughurs to establish the Yan Qin Dynasty, because he was born poor, he was afraid that his sons would starve like him back then, and they would always not have enough to eat.

He gave birth to more than 20 sons, each of whom was crowned a vassal king, and the title was hereditary. In the following one or two hundred years, for the sake of that dragon chair, although there were several turmoil in the Forbidden Imperial City, because of the vassal king's clan branch passed down by the sons of Emperor Hongwu, because the pedigree was far away, there was no qualification to inherit the unification at all, so they were not involved in the struggle for the throne. The Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair didn't bother to take care of them, and let them be honored as princes in their own domain.

In this Zhejiang province alone, there are now two vassal kings, Qin Shu, the king of Lu, who was sealed in Hangzhou, and Qin Hai, the king of Lu, who fled from Yanzhou, Shandong to Taizhou. Although they are far from the bloodline of the first emperor Guangzong, they were originally not qualified to succeed, but if the bloodline of the first emperor is cut off, then the clan of the side branch is no matter how far away the lineage is, and it is always the bloodline of Emperor Hongwu, and it is the descendant of the old Qin family. and then by some people who want to rely on the so-called dragon to support the merits of Huang Tengda, and people with ulterior motives are so pinch by their side, I am afraid that they have also thought about the addiction of adding a yellow robe.

Sure enough, I listened to Liu Rushi: "Eight days ago, His Royal Highness King Lu in Hangzhou announced that he would inherit the unification, ascend the throne of the emperor, and change the name of the year to Hongguang. But he didn't want to be as early as 14 days ago, His Royal Highness King Lu had also announced the supervision of the country in Taizhou, but he was still a little cautious, and only dared to call himself a prisoner, and did not dare to succeed to the throne as the emperor openly. Because of some journeys, we didn't get the news until the day before yesterday. ”

"Originally, it was said that there was no one to succeed to the throne, but I didn't know that it was only half a month's work, and there were two kings here in Zhejiang alone, although it didn't meet the Tartar Emperor's wishes, but there are no two days on this day, and there are no two lords in the country, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Liu Rushi finally sighed.

Cai Wei felt cold all over, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly appeared in her heart.

There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, Cai Wei said softly: "I'm afraid that the Tartar Emperor has even calculated the current situation in his calculations." His Highness often told me that the Tartar Emperor Dorgon was a man of great shrewdness and ability, and he was very thoughtful, and he was very good at trying to figure out people's hearts and devise all kinds of plans to attack them. ”

"He first released a rumor, saying that the imperial heir of Emperor Guangzong's line was cut off, if it could break the fighting spirit of my Great Qin army and people, and surrender the army without a fight, it would be the best. That is, the fighting spirit of our army and the people has not been lost, and a new monarch has been established, and how many vassal kings there are in our dynasty, the Tartars must be clear. Hong Yanyan, who was previously defeated and captured in the Battle of Songjin and surrendered to the Tartars, is now a favorite of the Tartar Emperor, serving as the crown prince and the secretary of the military department. He has been an official in our court for many years, and he still doesn't know the calculations of those people in the imperial officialdom of our dynasty. ”

"He calculated that if I wanted to establish a new monarch for those officials and gentry, under the temptation of the throne and the same communication news between them, there would definitely not be only one vassal king to be the emperor. Now there are two emperors in Zhejiang alone, and how many vassal kings from Fujian and Guangxi are there? ”

"In the past, when we only had Emperor Lin De in our country, we were not able to unite as one and unite with the outside world. When I and my Highness held Jinling, I sent people to several nearby state capitals with soldiers and horses, and ordered them to send some men and horses to help, and surround the Tartars outside the city of Jinling. ”

"But until the fall of Jinling, we have never seen a single soldier of reinforcements, and those generals with soldiers and horses only care about protecting their own interests and ignore the overall situation, and do not save them when they see death. Since the establishment of Yanjing as the capital of our dynasty, the atmosphere of the court and the central government has been to go their own way and fight endlessly, and everyone only thinks about their own interests, but does not care about the overall interests of the family and the country, and does not know how to put the overall situation first. ”

"It was only when the Tartar Emperor saw this that he came up with this poisonous plan and deliberately made us mess up inside. After all, now my Great Qin still has half of the southern country, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles, the products are rich, there are important people, money and food are not lacking, if we can unite as one and be sincere, it is enough to compete with the Tartars. But now that these two monarchs stand side by side, they can no longer twist the soldiers and civilians of the southern kingdom into a rope. As my sister said, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country, I am afraid that I will only know the brother and the wall, and I can't resist it! ”

Liu Rushi's husband, Qian Muzhai, had been invited to Hangzhou by King Lu more than ten days ago, and she was reluctant to go with him because she wanted to take care of Cai Wei. That Qian Muzhai was worried about his wife, so letters were delivered every day, and occasionally a few times he would mention the current situation. It was Liu Rushi who listened to Cai Wei's words and thought it was true.

Mu Zhai wrote in a letter the day before yesterday that His Royal Highness King Lu had ordered someone to go to Taizhou and canonize King Lu as King Duan, which meant that King Lu would admit that he was the rightful Emperor of Yan Qin. But there are some things in this world, such as a position of power, if you have never obtained it before, it is fine, once you get it, you will reach a high position, how can you open your mouth and spit it out again. ”

Cai Wei nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, the mountains and rivers of Daqin are so vast, and there are outstanding people and capable people in large numbers, and there is no shortage of capable generals and insightful people." It's a pity that there was a party fighting for the country, although it caused the government * and the country's power to decline, but in the end, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the Tartars killed from the outside alone, and it was impossible to break it for a while. If it weren't for the calamity of Xiao Wall and the internal turmoil in the same room, how could he be defeated by the Tartars and lose most of the mountains and rivers of the country. ”

However, the two of them are very worried about the current situation, and they are disappointed with the short-sighted eyes of the great enemies of the Chinese people who are still only fighting for power and profit, and infighting. At least for now, they can't do anything.

After Cai Wei calmed down, she immediately knew that she was inexplicably angry, scolding those people who misled the country with a blind eye, and it was still useless, it was better to save her strength, so that she could recuperate and recuperate, and quickly raise her body, and think of reuniting with Qin Fei and then planning a big plan, which is her current top priority.

After more than ten days, Cai Wei's illness had been cured and □□ Chengcheng, and all she was thinking about all day was how to be able to reunite with Qin Fei.

Because of the delay of her falling into the sea and falling ill, seeing that more than a month had passed, she had already missed the time she agreed with Qin Fei in the letter to arrive in Quanzhou. At this moment, Qin Fei has more confidence in her wisdom, believing that she can retreat from Jinling City, seeing that she has not arrived in Quanzhou for a long time, I am afraid that she will also have all kinds of anxiety and anxiety, and will not stay in Quanzhou obediently and wait for her to come. If she rushes to Quanzhou at this time, she will probably not see him.

What's more, if the news of her fake King Linchuan falling into the sea in Jingjiang reached his ears, I don't know how sad he would be, with his stubborn nature, unless he saw his corpse with his own eyes, he would never believe that he had fallen into the sea and died.

Could it be that he is on the way to Jingjiang at this time, where is she going and where to go, so that she will not pass by him and miss each other on the road.

Do you still go to Quanzhou, or do you want to go back to Jingjiang to wait for the rabbit?

I don't know where the red lady and those soldiers are now?

She once asked Liu Rushi to send someone to Jingjiang to help her inquire, saying that the soldiers under the King of Linchuan were no longer in Jingjiang, and they had quietly left Jingjiang City the night before the envoy of King Lu arrived in Jingjiang. I don't know if they will still go to Quanzhou according to her previous orders under the leadership of the Red Lady, or will they have to go to the next place if they encounter any changes?

Just when Cai Wei finally made up her mind, chose the direction she was going to take, and planned to say goodbye to Liu Rushi, Liu Rushi gave her another news with a difficult face.
