Chapter 636: A New King (3)
Liu Ximing directly signaled Li Biao to come over with the holy decree, and after a glance, he laughed.
"Hahaha, Yuan Jitong, Yuan Jitong, you can't make me a three-year-old child, and a mere marquis will let me go to Nanjing, not even a specific position, is this planning to put the official under house arrest?"
"Don't dare to think about it!" , Yuan Jixian immediately exclaimed, "It's just that the elder of the pavilion should also be clear, there is still a great enemy of thieves at present, and the hundred officials of the DPRK and China should work together to protect the world, if the elder of the pavilion does not go, I am afraid that he will be accused by the people of the world." ”
Liu Ximing sneered in his heart, what about the accusation, he is not a person without roots, and he still needs to be afraid of local rumors.
However, Liu Ximing also knows in his heart that he has only taken over Huguang, Jiangxi and other places for less than a year, and the foundation is not stable.
But thinking about the information from the Jingshi, Liu Ximing began to be proud in his heart again, with the trump card of the crown prince, there are still variables in this world.
With confidence in his heart, Liu Ximing ignored Yuan Jixian's threat at this time.
At that moment, he smiled proudly at Yuan Jixian, He Tengjiao and other Ming officials:
"When the official was about to leave Beijing, His Majesty first entrusted me with state affairs, and then ordered me to be the prince and the prince, and there was already the intention of entrusting the prince to the cabinet, and now His Majesty has died, the prince should be Zhengshuo, and if he does not see the prince for a day, the cabinet will pinch Huguang and other places in his hands one day."
Liu Ximing raised his eyes to look at Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng and others as he spoke, and then turned his head to look at Huang Zongxi and other scholars of the Restoration Society.
"This cabinet has made up its mind, refuses to recognize the small court in Nanjing, and must support the orthodoxy of the prince, you are both ministers, but you don't know how to decide?"
"This ......"
Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng, Huang Zongxi, Chen Zilong and others were speechless for a while.
Everyone has a complicated mind in their hearts, on the one hand, it is the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is an established fact, how can this make people choose.
But before a group of civil officials in the main hall could speak, several hearty voices outside the hall suddenly sounded:
"The officers and men of the three armies all support the decision of the elder, and those who dare to disobey the army under his command will be dealt with by military law!"
Accompanied by the voice, there are tall figures such as Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong, Zheng Jingcai, and Zhou Yuji.
As soon as these dozen people entered the door, they directly bowed to Liu Ximing: "I'll wait to see the elder of the pavilion." ”
Seeing this, Liu Ximing smiled implicitly, and raised his hand with satisfaction: "No need to be polite, generals, please get up." ”
As soon as they saw Cao Bianjiao and the others rushing in majestically, Yuan Jixian, He Tengjiao and the others changed their faces.
If there is the support of the army of Cao Bianjiao and others, then Liu Ximing may really be able to divide one side.
Thinking of the heavy responsibility on his body, Yuan Jixian immediately looked at Cao Bianjiao and the others and said sharply:
"How dare you disrespect the king's order, now that the new monarch has been established, the officials and people of the world should be loyal."
Cao Bianjiao glanced at Yuan Jixian's position with an expression of looking at the air, and then turned his head to look at the beam.
"Where did you come from, didn't the elder say that only the prince is the right man in the world, and the rest of the people are all usurpers!"
"You ......"
Yuan Jixian was so angry by Cao Bianjiao's contemptuous eyes that his chest was blocked, and he pointed at Cao Bianjiao and couldn't speak.
At this time, Dou Yuquan also walked out with a fan, looked at Huang Zongxi and the others and said with a smile:
"I think it's better to wait, if today's whereabouts are clear, but the prince and King Ding and others have not been found, do you know this person from Jingying Jiangshen? It is said that he broke into the palace before the city was broken, and after that, the prince and others disappeared, and it was thought that he should have escorted him out of the palace. ”
Since the news came from Shu that the King of Shu was completely killed, the burden in Dou Yuquan's heart was finally put down, and at this moment, he stood firmly with Liu Ximing.
"Really?"
Huang Zongxi exclaimed.
Zhou Yuji stepped forward and hugged his fists at everyone:
"Zhou is from Beijing, Jiang Shen is Zhou's subordinate to listen to it, this matter is indeed true, the old department in Beijing has come to the news, Jiang Shen and others have not been found."
"Wow"
At this moment, even Yuan Jixian's face was shocked.
Everyone is a child of Confucianism, and of course this legal system is well memorized.
If Chongzhen dies, the crown prince Zhu Cihong is the natural choice.
Once Liu Ximing can find Zhu Cihong and support him to ascend the throne, then the small court in Nanjing will directly become unjustifiable in terms of reputation, and the governors of various places will have to reconsider their allegiance.
Without waiting for Yuan Jixian to think clearly, Liu Ximing directly waved his hand to settle the matter.
"That's it, Brother Ji Tong is famous all over the world, since you came to my Huguang, then don't leave, now wait here with peace of mind, I will repair the book in Nanjing and reply."
Yuan Jixian was dumbfounded and said, "Elder Ge still wants to put Yuan under house arrest?" ”
"What are you doing under house arrest, this is for your own good, if it is really the prince who stands out from the encirclement, do you still want to report Nanjing City."
Liu Ximing rolled his eyes.
~~~
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Liu Ximing, the prince and the prince, the scholar of Jianji Hall and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, issued a document refusing to recognize the Nanjing government and waiting for the prince to return to the throne."
"Henan Governor Yang Yipeng, Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, Trilateral Governor Sun Chuanting and other dignitaries issued a response, Huguang, Jiangxi, Henan, Sichuan and other 33 government officials, Cao Bianjiao, Shao Rong and other nine general military officers issued a response."
On the streets of Nanjing, hard-working newspaper boys kept shouting at the newspaper in their hands, and the words that came out of their mouths made everyone in an uproar.
In the Fengtian Hall of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, the fat face of the little fat man Zhu Yousong kept shaking, and he was angry and angry with the Central Plains newspaper in his hand.
"Send troops, send troops, I want him Liu Xi to die without a place to be buried!"
In the Fengtian Palace, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Shi Kefa and other ministers are all listed, and the atmosphere in the hall is very solemn.
Previously, Shi Kefa and others had considered whether Liu Ximing would accept the order, but everyone thought that Liu Ximing was at most a struggle for power, who would have thought that at such a time, Liu Ximing would not recognize the Nanjing Imperial Court.
Thinking of the thieves in the north, Shi Kefa suddenly felt sad and scolded Liu Zongzhou directly:
"This is the friend made by the disciple of the Chief Constitution? It's simply lawless and lawless, when is this, the whole country should be bent on resisting the enemy, he Liu Ximing actually disregarded the righteousness of the world for his own selfish interests, it is really not a son of man. ”
Liu Zongzhou, who was scolded, was expressionless, but his eyes rolled wildly in his heart, if he really wanted to talk about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Liu Ximing's approach.
The Son of Heaven died, and the successor should naturally be the crown prince, and now the ministers of Nanjing are supporting the King Fu for their own private interests, which is already messing up the rules of the ancestors, how can I talk about others now.
Ma Shiying was worried that Liu Ximing came to Nanjing to steal his limelight, as the only cabinet minister in the previous dynasty, and he was also the second assistant, who could suppress this head.
At that moment, Ma Shiying hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to come out and say righteously: "Your Majesty, Liu Xi's order to disobey the law is already the enemy of this dynasty, and I also ask Your Majesty to give an order, so that the Marquis of Jingguo and others will be quickly requisitioned." ”
"Wow"
At this moment, there was even more uproar in the court.
There is a lot of anxiety among the ministers, and the new court is going to take the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so I don't think something is right.
But Zhu Yousong doesn't think so, is it important that the general trend of the world has the dragon chair under his ass, how can the position he finally got be given to others.
has been the emperor for a month, Zhu Yousong has once again lived a life of beauty like jade and fragrant wine, how can he be willing to give it up at this time.
Now that Ma Shiying is coming forward, Zhu Yousong immediately glanced at him approvingly, and immediately clapped his hands and said:
"I am ready, and the cabinet quickly drafts a decree to order the four towns in Jiangbei to quell the rebellion."
After Zhu Yousong finished speaking, he saw the Central Plains News on the table again, and then said angrily: "Send someone to arrest all the people in the Central Plains Daily, these people are all Liu Xi's minions, which is really hateful." ”
"Your Majesty, no!"
Liu Zongzhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Central Plains Newspaper is indeed run by Liu Wujiang, but its access to news and clear information is also quite useful to this dynasty. ”
Seeing that Zhu Yousong's expression was a little softened, Liu Zongzhou immediately followed and said: "The minister has submitted a manuscript to the Central Plains Daily, and this Central Plains Daily has also adopted many articles, which shows that it is not just for Liu Ximing, if the court can use it well, it can also be used by the court." ”
Shi Kefa also nodded when he heard this: "That's true, the imperial court can hand over the news about the declaration of Liu Ximing as a rebellious minister to the Central Plains Daily for publication, if he doesn't comply, then it will naturally be banned and closed." ”
Zhu Yousong was immediately happy when he heard this, and let Liu Ximing's industry slap him in the face, which was a good idea, so he laughed and agreed.
But when he thought of the holy decree that Zhu Yousong had just given, Shi Kefa sighed in His Highness.
At present, the four towns of Jiangbei are still in turmoil, who will take out their own soldiers and horses to do things for the imperial court, but don't let the prestige of the Nanjing imperial court further decline at that time.
