In the early morning, Mao Shuaiye took a flat boat and got off the boat from the water gate outside Huai'an City.

Several people on the boat also disembarked together, each from Yancheng to Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou to Huai'an along the canal, which is about the most comfortable way to go.

The main reason is that Yang Shili has to weigh and consider, and then he made up his mind to ask Master Mao to go to Huai'an on his behalf to be sincere to Liu Zeqing, during which he prepared two days of gifts, and when Master Mao arrived in Huai'an, it was already April 15, and it had been many days since Min Yuanqi killed the bandits.

When he arrived in Huai'an, Master Mao also had a look of embarrassment on his face.

If it weren't for Yang Shili's repeated hesitation and refusal to make up his mind, I am afraid that this trip would have been completed a long time ago.

After being delayed, not only did he lose the lives of Yang Shida and Guan Er, but even the second master Yang Shiyong also explained, what a bother!

Last time, Master Mao went to Shuiguan to report the news, and left in advance halfway through drinking, but fortunately he left a moment early, and then the news that Yang Shida and his gang were all wiped out came, which scared Master Mao half to death, and since then he has been dormant in the old nest of Yancheng and dare not move around.

The task of pouring Huai'an this time is easy, and there should be no surprises......

With complicated and strange thoughts, after entering the city from the city gate, Master Mao walked towards Liu Zeqing's general soldier's mansion.

Everything seemed to be normal in the city, and Master Mao was also relieved......

"Ahead is Du Guangshao's garden." Some of the attachés were native of Huai'an, and they walked a short distance along the streets of the city, avoiding the downtown area and the main business districts, and most of the courtyards along the streets were deep mansions, and Liu Zeqing's general army mansion was also in a large mansion.

There are many fewer pedestrians along the street than in downtown areas, but the number of passenger soldiers patrolling has increased significantly.

Outside a large mansion, the attaché pointed to the inside and said, "Now King Xiaofu and King Lu both live here, and there are more garrisons outside. ”

"But there aren't so many ways, are they?"

Everyone went all the way forward, the number of guest soldiers gathered more and more, and then walked forward more than 100 steps, the road has been blocked by the guest soldiers, the pedestrians were dispersed and driven away, Master Mao and others had no choice but to retreat, but the soldiers and horses near the Du house were also gathering more and more, advancing and retreating, everyone could only gather in a number of small alleys with the nearby people, and the guest soldiers led the troops outside, and the intersection of the avenue and the various trails were blocked.

After a while, not only were there many soldiers and horses, but there were more and more soldiers, not only the colonels and officers and soldiers on foot, but also the infantry on horseback and the generals who were qualified to come on horseback.

In a short period of time, more than 1,000 people, more than 100 horsemen, more than 1,000 infantry, more than 1,000 infantry, swords and guns like a forest, and the cold light was dazzling.

Master Mao and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, and they were all sweating like pulp.

These soldiers and horses are obviously elite guest soldiers, and most of the horsemen are the families of various generals, and the eyes that look at everyone are extremely fierce, as if they will be swords and guns at the same time as soon as they give an order, killing everyone on the spot.

Fortunately, although the eyes of the guest soldiers were fierce, no one had moved, and after a lot, the sound of dense horse hooves sounded, and more than 100 cavalry swarmed, and the power was even more terrifying.

"Dashuai, Dashuai!"

The guest soldiers shouted together, and Master Mao and others knew that it was Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, commonly known as Caozhou Liu, who was the main general of the guest soldiers.

The horse Liu Zeqing rode was pure white, an unusual divine horse, wearing a purple cloak and wearing a cold forging armor on his body, which added a bit of solemn majesty to the luxury.

Due to the distance, Master Mao and the others only saw that Liu Zeqing was tall and well-proportioned, after all, he was a military general who was on a horse all the year round, and his body movements were much neater than those of ordinary civil officials.

The face is white, and the eyes can't see clearly, but the rebellious attitude between Gu Pan is quite obvious.

Liu Zeqing went all the way to the front of the Du house, at this time the door of the house was wide open, more than 100 soldiers will enter the inner lining along the door of the house to line up the guards, after a while, the soldiers hugged the people inside and walked out, Liu Zeqing only then turned over and dismounted, when the people in the house walked to the door, Liu Zeqing slowly knelt down, hugged his fists and said: "The minister Liu Zeqing has seen the Fu King, His Royal Highness the King Lu, the minister is in armor, and he can't pay the full salute." ”

Only then did people notice that there were two people in the crowd wearing red robes and winged crowns.

Both of them are wearing red robes, one is in his twenties, the other is in his thirties, above the red robe, there are four dragons embroidered, this robe was originally a prince's costume, only the first rank of the son of heaven, but there is a difference in subtleties, but these two princes are obviously wearing old robes, most of them are wrinkled or even defaced, it looks not only not majestic, but a little funny.

The two princes are King Fu and King Lu, after the army entered Henan, King Fu fled many times, first to Wei Hui to go to King Lu, and then the army forced Wei Hui, King Lu and King Fu gathered King Zhou, the three princes gathered together, and fled south in embarrassment.

After arriving in Huai'an, the three of them lived on a boat first, and then the king of Zhou died of fear and anxiety, and the king of Lu and the king of Fu went to live in the Du house of Huai'an Mansion together.

The king and grandson are not as good as chickens, the Beijing division is surrounded, the situation is moving, the two can only take refuge in Huai'an, there are not a few attachés, and the family property is even more lost, which is equivalent to relying on people to snort and beg for food here.

Yangzhou and Nanjing are important passes and accompany the capital, the two princes can not come, when they go south from Xuzhou, the defeated Gao Jie Department also followed into Pei County, Tongshan, Xuzhou, Suining and other places, to arrive in Huai'an when the shock is initially settled, but also only for temporary stability, and there are not too many plans.

The two have already made up their minds, if the situation continues to collapse, they will continue to flee south, this time to eastern Zhejiang for the time being, and then make plans for the next step.

King Fu didn't dare to stay too close to the army, when Luoyang was trapped, King Fu was still a son, and even his mother was abandoned by him after fleeing in a hurry.

Later, the news came that Lao Fu Wang was killed in front of 10,000 people, and after being killed, Li Zicheng ordered the body to be divided, and put it in a cauldron with venison to cook it and share it with everyone.

Emperor Chongzhen heard of it and also reduced his meals and retreated, after all, King Fu was his own uncle, not comparable to those distant princes.

And King Fu himself only felt that his soul was scattered after hearing about it...... So in the past few years, Zhu Yousong has been running around and hiding, and his separation from his mother has also become a stain on everyone's mouth. Of course, King Fu himself also knows that his poor image comes from the old grudge between King Fu and Emperor Guangzong to seize the heir, it can be said that the political disputes in the Wanli period, the three major cases, the emergence of party disputes and other chaos are all related to the Zheng Guifei fighting for the throne for King Fu.

With this old grudge, King Fu was indeed separated from his mother, and it was helpless to be caught by black materials.

This time I lived in Huai'an, originally I had no plan, I just wanted to continue to flee south, but the change of fate of the times made ordinary people easily crushed in the tide of history......

After the Pukou oath became a joke, Nanjing has been in serious chaos for so many years.

After more than ten days of hard work, Nanjing is still inconclusive.

The rumor has long been spread, and Shi Kefa and Donglin agree that King Fu should not be established, which is the so-called greed, good wine, unfilial piety and other seven reasons.

Clear-eyed people know that the Donglin Party does not want to establish King Fu, completely because King Fu competed for the throne and won the throne back then.

At that time, Donglin was on the side of Guangzong, and after Guangzong died, it was Donglin who preemptively supported Zhu Youxiao, the eldest son of the emperor that year, and drove away Li Xuanzhi, so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse could be the emperor in the Qianqing Palace.

It is precisely because of this that Donglin was in charge of the dynasty four years before the Apocalypse, which is the so-called Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty.

Emperor Guangzong only has two princes of Tianqi Chongzhen, the Emperor of Tianqi has no queen, Emperor Chongzhen and all the princes are trapped in Beijing, and Guangzong has no heirs.

From the patriarchal point of view, King Fu is the eldest of the sons of Shenzong, the old King Fu is gone, and the current King Fu Zhu Yousong is a well-deserved candidate for the heir, so he doesn't have to think about it at all!

But the Donglin Party thinks that Zhu Yousong is not virtuous, and considers choosing the virtuous King Lu, in fact, King Lu is a bird, just because King Lu is in Huai'an, and King Fu is the closest prince to Nanjing!

Shenzong also has descendants who are King Gui, and the distance is too far, Shi Kefa hesitates for this, and it is difficult to make a decision between King Lu and King Gui.

Shi Kefa is difficult to decide when he encounters major events, and other things are just fine, how can he dare to delay the establishment of a new monarch?

Just when he hesitated, things changed abruptly! Liu Zeqing almost didn't wait for King Fu and King Lu to express their opinions, and his family got up first.

What kind of armor is on his body, of course, it is a pretext, in fact, Liu Zeqing no longer takes the two princes in front of him in his eyes.

Recalling that when I went to Beijing to report on my work, I had to say hello to the head of the six products in the military department, and I had to return to Shandong safely to take up my post in the red envelope all the way.

What now? Unless Emperor Chongzhen is coming, Liu Zeqing is still a little afraid and afraid, other princes or court officials, Liu Zeqing is no longer in his eyes!

This time I went to Du Mansion to see the two princes, also because of the letters from Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and others.

Two of these three people are under the command of Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, but this time the private message was confirmed, and none of the three of them informed any bosses, including Liu Zeqing himself.

Several martial artists have become self-reliant, and they have their own considerations in the matter of establishing a prince.

From the perspective of people's hearts and convenience, Liu Zeqing and others are determined to support King Fu!

Those who are closest to the clan bloodline have all the legal principles, and they will definitely succeed!

Moreover, King Fu is in Liu Zeqing's territory, Liu Bu first sent troops to announce his support, and then the towns sent troops to Nanjing, not afraid that the civil officials in Nanjing would not obey!

As soon as the news spread, Ma Shiying suddenly panicked, and his people had already rushed to Huai'an, and at the same time, they were the first to announce their support, becoming the first person to support the establishment among civil officials.

This is from the dragon's skill, Ma Shiying and the four town lords will regard it as a thing in their pockets, and they will not stop until they get it.

Today is Liu Zeqing personally to serve Zhu Yousong to go south to Nanjing, Gao Jie will not move in Xuzhou, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong will bring soldiers and horses to join Liu Zeqing, Ma Shiying will also personally attend the meeting, a governor, four town generals, is the main person who supported at this time.

King Fu has not yet reached thirty this year, and the experience of his life is that in addition to being raised as a pig in King Fu's Mansion when he was a teenager and eating, drinking and having fun every day, it is a lot of escape routes after Luoyang was conquered.

From the fourteenth year of Chongzhen to now, it has only been more than three years, and this once carefree young man has gone through ups and downs.

In fact, according to Zhu Yousong's heart, he would rather be a rich and noble prince, if the Ming Dynasty is protected, he hopes to choose a good place to enjoy wealth like his father.

If the war continues, the future may be chaotic for decades, Zhu Yousong hopes to flee to the south, and it is best to find a place that is not easily affected by the fire.

Hangzhou is Zhu Yousong's favorite place, the Southern Song Dynasty has been peaceful for many years, the Southern Song Dynasty to the Mengyuan Dynasty have not been fired, if it is not for the lack of entanglement and attendants, the Fu King and Lu Wang have already run to Hangzhou.

But then King Lu still ran to Hangzhou, after the end of the Hongguang regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty, a large number of civil and military generals supported this virtuous king to supervise the country, how did the Qing army arrive, King Lu decided to surrender as soon as possible, at that time the king of Chu bitterly persuaded him to run first, anyway, there is still a large area of territory, to see if there is any turnaround.

King Lu's reply is also quite interesting, saying that the situation in the Ming Dynasty is different from that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it seems that the place is quite big, but the people's hearts are not attached, and the people's hearts are no longer in Zhu Ming.

It was also right from the time, but if this guy escaped again, it would not be under the shaving order for two months, the hearts of the people in the world were turbulent, and Zhu Ming, who was originally dead, was rejuvenated, and King Lu did not leave, his blood and reputation were much closer than the later Lu Jianguo and Emperor Longwu, and the worst result was almost the same as Emperor Yongli.

As a result, after surrendering, he and the nine kings of Hongguang, Jing, De, Heng, Qin, and Jin were ordered to be executed by the Qing court within one day, on the grounds that they were plotting to rebel.

Make an egg mess...... This group of disasters are all wastes who would rather surrender and don't even dare to run away, what chaos can they do?

It is nothing more than killing him to prevent future troubles, Chongzhen's crown prince, King Yong, King Ding, who can still survive in the hands of Li Zicheng, and in the hands of the Qing court, they were also killed early.

Even until the Kangxi period, Chongzhen's youngest son was already an aging village school teacher, but he was still killed after being found out, and even the family that sheltered him was ordered by Kangxi to be killed.

The so-called benevolent monarch and holy lord are nothing more than that.

At this time, King Lu stood beside King Fu, a little back, and his expression was quite embarrassing.
