Chapter 68: The Blessed King

Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang had repeatedly deduced in advance that if King Fu and King Lu always refused to show up, then Queen Zhang had to take the initiative to force them to come over to meet them, but King Fu and King Lu rushed over as soon as possible, so Queen Zhang had to turn them away.

And now as soon as Empress Zhang's words came out, the mood of the audience became even more enthusiastic, some people praised Empress Zhang's decision, thinking that she had the demeanor of the emperor and queen first, and some people felt that Empress Zhang's handling was a little inappropriate: "It's safer to see each other, and now everyone thinks that King Fu is more suitable!"

No matter what the righteous gentlemen in Nanjing think about King Fu, everyone still thinks that King Fu is the most suitable person, and not long after that, Empress Zhang passed down her latest intentions: "Let Huaifu Lu Zhenfei come over to see him, King Xin has a few words to entrust him on his deathbed!"

It's just that Lu Zhenfei didn't see it, and there was already further news over there: "Shen Changshi of Luwangfu wants to come to meet the queen mother!"

King Lu's enthusiasm in this matter is far less than that of King Fu, after all, he is Queen Zhang's cousin in terms of seniority, and it is a very embarrassing thing for him to take the initiative to meet Zhang Yan, the nephew and daughter-in-law.

But after this matter got out, several strategists around King Fu said in unison: "We must get ahead of King Lu in this matter, in case the queen starts to read the edict, it will be very bad!"

Although everyone thinks that Empress Zhang may not have such an edict in her hands, the biggest advantage of King Fu now is the desire of the people, and the officials and civilians feel that according to the order, King Fu, the grandson of Shenzong, should invoke the example of "brother to brother and brother", rather than the side King Lu forcibly succeeding to the throne in the name of "Lixian".

But if Empress Yi took out an edict from Emperor Chongzhen to announce her support for King Lu, all the previous efforts of the Fu Wangfu Mansion could only be wasted.

King Fu also understands this: "You help me think of a way, as long as I can meet the imperial sister-in-law, you can talk about any conditions, which of you has a relationship with Tong Yili?" ”

For Tong Yili, he has never been so popular, he has not been so beautiful when he was in the examination, as the highest-ranking civil official in Empress Zhang's imperial boat, he has now become the biggest focus of the audience, and everyone is asking him about all the details of Empress Zhang's Nandu and the edict of the cloth.

And someone in King Fu's Mansion even made a promise on behalf of King Fu: "His Royal Highness King Fu said that Lord Tong escorted Queen Zhang Nandu to work hard, and it will not be a problem to be a member of the household department and Langzhong when the major event is decided!"

In fact, this issue has been discussed within the Fuwang Mansion just now, according to the opinion of King Fu himself, as long as Tong Yili is willing to help, let alone the household servant, even the household secretary can agree first, but immediately someone proposed that this Tong Yili Tong is just a person, and it is far from qualified to be a household secretary and a household servant, at most he can only agree to a household member or a household lang.

Tong Yili didn't say that Empress Zhang had rewarded herself with a "Jinshi background", and the promise given by King Fu's Mansion strengthened his idea of holding Empress Zhang's thighs all the time.

Although he has always been known as a "knowing soldier", he knows very well that his skills are not as good as a fraction of Hai Rui and Chen Xinjia, and it is already the upper limit to be the head of the household under the normal situation of lifting people, but in this troubled era, as long as he hugs the thigh of the nervous queen, there are infinite possibilities, and now it is a very unwise choice to go to the Fuwang Mansion.

It's just that Tong Yili didn't expose his true thoughts: "I can understand His Royal Highness King Fu's thoughts about wanting to see the queen's mother, but I don't count this matter, I'm afraid it's still Shi Fengyu and the little uncle who nod!"

Fuwangfu knew that Shi Fengyu was Shi Chaoding, and Empress Zhang only had one of his ministers in Nandu this time, and as long as the ministers promised enough benefits, it would be fine, but Tong Yili was a little blind when he talked about the little uncle: "Which one is the little uncle?" ”

They asked for a long time to know that this Nandu was presided over by Liu Yongxi, who responded to the attack on sincerity, Bo Jinyi, Wei Nanzhen, Fu Si Zhengqianhu, if this sincere Bo Shizi did not nod, no one would be able to see Empress Zhang.

But King Fu's Mansion became excited: "It turned out to be the son of Sincerity, then it would be easy to do, Cao Jiang Sincerity Uncle is also fully supporting His Royal Highness King Fu, everyone is a family!"

Tong Yili and they only then knew some of the inside information that had just been passed from the southern capital, for the dispute, although there were Lu Daqi, Zhang Shenyan, Qian Qianyi and a group of righteous gentlemen who fully supported King Lu, but the three members of the Nanjing Garrison Department who really controlled the highest power in the southern capital, whether it was Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, or Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing town guard, or Zhao Zhilong, the Nanjing garrison, have not expressed their attitude until now.

Even if Zhao Zhilong has been inclined to King Lu and has not publicly expressed his position, and the reason why the Nandu Garrison Department has not expressed its attitude is that Cao Jiang has always been fighting for reason, and has always insisted that "Lun Xu should be in the Fu King", and in the absence of Chongzhen's edict, King Fu should be established in any way, and even slapped the table several times and scolded.

The Fuwang Mansion immediately said: "This time, the mainstay of the southern capital, Wu has Cao Jiang Chengyibo, Wen has Li Zhan of History, and Guo Weijing of Yushi...... Speaking of which, everyone is their own person!"

And Liu Yongxi also pushed the boat down the river: "That's right, our sincerity Bofu has always been consistent with the wishes of Chinese and foreign subjects, please ask His Royal Highness King Fu to come and meet with Niangniang!"

Whether it was the civil and military officials who escorted it, or the soldiers and civilians watching along the coast, they were happy to see King Fu meet Empress Zhang of Xizong.

And King Fu, who was wearing plain corner tape, boarded the imperial boat under the guidance of Liu Yongxi and walked to the court: "This is Xiao Chengyibo, right?" Sure enough, father and son are the mainstays of my Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Yongxi didn't take King Fu's praise to the bottom of his heart, after all, King Fu heard the name of Liu Yongxi, the little sincerity uncle, for the first time, but he knew this King Fu well.

In the eyes of others, this old clothes and holding a white bamboo fan of the Fu King has a long mu style, it seems that he is definitely a virtuous king, and it is also an excellent choice for the lord of Zhongxing.

But Liu Yongxi only saw a His Royal Highness King Fu who had been hollowed out by wine, although the experience of wandering around in the past two years has made this King Fu grow a little, but this King Fu lived too comfortably and luxuriously before the age of thirty-five, and he is not destined to be the master of Zhongxing.

But Liu Yongxi hid his emotions very well: "Your Majesty Xie appreciates, our sincerity Bofu is the most important by the emperor's favor, so we naturally want to serve the Ming Dynasty, please rest assured, there is sincerity Bofu here, and Daming has its own Zhongxing day!"

This kind of praise has been heard countless times, so he only regarded it as a politeness: "Little Chengyi, Empress Yi'an Zhang is here?" ”
