On November 16 of the second year of Tianwu, a light snow fell in the gloomy sky, and the sky over the Forbidden City of Nanjing was cold.

"Smack!"

"Rubbish!"

Zhu Cihong angrily slapped the edict of reinstatement on the dragon case, and the Sancai cup on the case was shocked by this slap, and the tea in the cup soaked the pseudo-edict, and the content on it became blurred.

Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and said, "Is the Emperor really in Guilin?" ”

Before the dragon case, the cabinet and the ministers of military aircraft bowed their heads one after another and did not dare to talk.

Wu Zhong knelt on the side and trembled, and he replied cautiously: "The Dongchang Fanzi sent by the slave maid to protect the Emperor Taishang was all killed by the people of King Jingjiang, and the Emperor Taishang was indeed taken captive to Guilin......"

After a while, Zhu Cihong stared at the handwriting spread out by the pseudo-edict, and said coldly: "Is it the Emperor Taishang who wants to restore the throne, or the King of Jingjiang who wants to supervise the country?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Wu Zhong hurriedly said: "There is no doubt that it is the king of Jingjiang, Dongchang sent a message on the dark line of the Jingjiang Palace, saying that the emperor is under house arrest in the palace, and he scolds the traitor Zhu Hengjia every day." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not directed and acted by the emperor, it would be much better.

What he was most worried about was that he was going to have another righteous killing of his relatives or something.

As for the bullshit King Jingjiang, he is no longer a relative.

All the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestor is Zhu Yuanzhang, only the King of Jingjiang is an exception, and the ancestor of their line (the first generation of King Jingjiang) is Zhu Yuanzhang's brother Zhu Xinglong.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a severe drought and insect plague in Huaibei, which caused a famine, Zhu Yuanzhang's family almost starved to death, his parents and three brothers starved to death, and only Zhu Xinglong left a son, Zhu Wenzheng.

Zhu Wenzheng sat in the lonely city in the defense of Hongdu and resisted the attack of Chen Youliang's 600,000 army, which can be called a miracle in military history, and his military achievements are outstanding.

However, after the war, he was not satisfied with the reward given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and secretly took refuge in Zhang Shicheng at the instigation of his subordinates, betraying his uncle Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Lao Zhu learned about it, he preemptively wanted to execute him, but because of Queen Ma's dissuasion, he changed it to house arrest and ended up in prison.

Lao Zhu did not forget the great military exploits made by his eldest nephew, and named Zhu Wenzheng's eight-year-old son as the king of Jingjiang, and he was the king of Guilin, and it was passed on to Zhu Hengjia, the thirteenth king of Jingjiang, and became the only royal family in the history of the Ming Dynasty with a non-Taizu bloodline.

The Jingjiang King line in history is also the longest vassal king in Chinese history.

The current Jingjiang King Zhu Hengjia is the eldest son of Zhu Luhu, the king of Jingjiang Rongmu, and was sealed in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong knows that this guy is an ambitious person.

During the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, after the fall of Nanjing, Emperor Hongguang was executed by the Qing court, and Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang, proclaimed himself a prisoner of the country and dreamed of being the emperor in the yellow robe.

According to the patriarchal concept and Zhu Hengjia's bloodline, as long as the clan of the whole Ming Dynasty is not dead, it will not be the turn of the Jingjiang King to inherit the throne, and they are not the descendants of Lao Zhu.

Zhu Hengjia didn't care about this, said that there was no owner in the world, forcibly ascended to the throne, wore a yellow robe, sat in the south, claimed to be in charge of the country, and the year was 278 years in Hongwu.

To commemorate with Hongwu means to abolish the emperor name, temple number, and year name of all other Ming emperors except Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Hengjia said that they were all illegal, theoretically exterminated all the Ming clans, and they were gods, and they couldn't do this kind of thing in ten years without cerebral thrombosis.

The survivability of this mentally retarded is naturally not strong, and it was easily defeated by Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, in history.

In this time and space, in the face of the more ruthless Tianwu Emperor Zhu Cihong, Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang, obviously had a lot less manipulation, and suddenly became smarter, he restored Chongzhen and served as the supervisor himself, using the year of Chongzhen's eighteenth year.

Zhu Cihong threw this false edict into the brazier and said disdainfully: "The idea of coercing the emperor to control the world is good, but I don't understand, where did this mentally retarded have the courage to rebel?" Guarded by him for three months? ”

Qin Gongsun Yingyuan said: "The traitor Zhu Hengjia is in the name of the Emperor Tai's reinstatement, and he really has the heart to peep at the artifact, and the minister asks His Majesty to send troops to exterminate it as soon as possible, so as not to destroy the traitor!" ”

At the Imperial Council, the Cabinet and the Minister of War agreed to quickly exterminate several rebellious feudal lords.

Zhu Cihong did not delay, and on the same day, he ordered the Eastern Army Governor's Office to send troops to quell the rebellion.

The more critical the moment, the more calm Zhu Cihong became.

First there were large-scale rumors, then the Mongols Koubian, then the Shaanxi people's uprising, and now the King of Jingjiang holding the Emperor Taishang hostage, and these waves are blowing continuously.

Zhu Cihong synthesized the information of all parties, thought about it, and felt that this was by no means the handiwork of one person, at least there were several forces.

The matter of Xuanfu and Shaanxi, it should be the restless King Jin who is making trouble, and the wisdom of King Jingjiang does not need to be said, the jump is too obvious, and he can't wait.

It's just that this rumor is still under investigation, and the other party has hidden it too deeply, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei have destroyed a lot of places where anti-books are printed, and they have also arrested many literati who compile wild history.

But the person who spread the rumors of Zhu Cihong's usurpation of the throne was not caught for a long time.

Everything started because of the rumor of usurpation, which was like a guiding ideology, giving all traitors a goal to strive for.

Zhu Cihong's first suspicion was the few Nanjing nobles who had slipped through the net, because they had a meeting at the beginning, but these counts have been very honest recently, and they all closed their doors to thank customers, and they didn't let go of a fart.

Outside the window, the black clouds piled up and the wind roared, and Zhu Cihong couldn't help but sigh: "If it's really a man who dies for money, the bird dies for food, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!" ”

In the face of absolutely powerful strength, all conspiracies and tricks are fragile, so you don't need to waste your brains, and the killing is over!

Although killing people will not solve the problem, it can solve the person who created the problem.

The sunny road has shown you well, you don't go, you want to be confused and confident, take risks, and frantically test how hard your eight characters are on the edge of death!

What about the royal clan? Can't you kill the things that eat the king's Lu but are not loyal to the king?

Isn't it good to get out of the palace and live as a person?

At the beginning of the establishment of the vassal king, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was to let the vassal king defend the central court and maintain the power of the central court, stabilize the border fortress and protect the Li people.

Now that the times have changed, why not fight with the red and white fans and open up territory for the country?

Zhu Cihong despised those clans who ate and waited for death from the bottom of his heart.

However, what made him happy was that there were not many clans that dared to express their rebellion, and most of them were in a wait-and-see attitude.

Although there are many vassal kings in Henan, there are also many who have been killed by Li Zicheng, and the vassal kings in the border places where the thieves have not been have preserved their strength, such as the king of Datong and the king of Lanzhou Su.

At present, the most vassal kings are in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, especially Huguang Province, there are six or seven princes, and there are two in Jiangxi.

However, Zhu Cihong has controlled Jiangnan for many years, Huguang is still his second foundation, and the people live a rich life, who is willing to rebel with the vassal kings.

It's useless in the name of Emperor Chongzhen, and the people in Jiangnan haven't paid taxes to Emperor Chongzhen for many years......

After the order was issued, Zhu Cihong sent another battalion of the Imperial Forest Army to Guilin to pick up the Emperor Taishang back to the palace, so as not to worry the Empress Dowager......

He didn't take King Jingjiang in his eyes at all, in Zhu Cihong's heart, this guy is here to provide jokes for future history books.

If he could, Zhu Cihong was even ready to set up a gambling game, betting that Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang, would be able to hold out for a few days.
