Chapter 25: In such a hurry

Investigate the root of it, it is that they can't pull out people at all, and look at the power of the south, at least until the final military training is completed, there is no chance, "Then what kind of person do you think is Mingjun, is the first emperor counted." ”

Wu Meicun said: "Humility is like a valley, Corporal Lixian, naturally deserves the name of Mingjun." ”

"Then why did you lose the world?"

Wu Meicun sighed and said: "The building will fall, it is difficult to support it alone, how many years of accumulation of disadvantages are difficult to return, and it is really impossible for the first emperor to do it." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "Speaking of which, what do you think of the prince. ”

Wu Meicun said: "Prince, I haven't seen you for a few years, and it's a pity to think about it at this time, the prince is indeed virtuous." ”

Li Xiangqian thought of the prince who was silent, but took his younger brothers and sisters to wear filial piety and eat vegetarian food for his parents, and indeed from the perspective of personality, he was already precocious and mature, after all, it was still the age of a high school student, or the age when he didn't know anything and was cared for by his parents at home all day long.

Li Xiangqian decided that he didn't need to use a pretense, so he said: "I heard that the prince is still alive and well, and he is very free, have you heard?" ”

"What!" Wu Meicun was pleasantly surprised: "Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?" ”

Li Xiangqian thought for a moment and said, "How can the prince's daughter's body be easily revealed, Brother Wu." ”

Wu Meicun hurriedly nodded and said: "If the crown prince arrives in Nanjing City, then no one in the entire Jiangnan dares to question the authority of the crown prince's succession, it will be a great thing." He was very excited, and then surprised, and asked: "Who is Brother Tai, and why does he know this kind of secret, oh!" ”

He suddenly understood a little, this Li Xiangqian's identity, from the north, looks fine and tender, and more obviously, his face is white and beardless, this is the appearance of a "eunuch", although a few years ago when he was in the court, he had never seen such a tall eunuch, but after all, he had been separated for many years, and he was not allowed to "expand".

In the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many poor people who lost their land, and before they were recruited into the palace, they castrated themselves to seek a way to live in the palace, which was the appearance of the political and economic failure of the Ming Dynasty, and the most famous person among them was naturally that Wei Zhongxian.

Wu Meicun has little contact with the eunuchs, so the only impression is that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty married a little lady and lived in villas, there are not a few, and there are not many good people, so this is not important, however, the liars of the Ming Dynasty are also renovated in a variety of ways, and they emerge in endlessly, Wu Meicun asked, and this is the reason, after all, this is too amazing, their news, isn't it the same prince who was also fallen to the imperial capital.

Li Xiangqian nodded, understanding his incomprehension, after all, if it weren't for the appearance of these traversers, then the imperial capital would really not be able to run out alone, and said, "Do you think I'm lying?" ”

"Don't dare, it's just ......" Wu Meicun hesitated for a moment and said, "I just think it's too sudden, and I've never heard the gentry in the city talk about it." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "What do you think, if the prince enters the city, you think he will be all satisfied?" How can the icing on the cake compare to charcoal in the snow? How can the merits of supporting the crown prince be as great as the power of the prince who thinks he is not right? Brother Wu has read history books, and there have been many such people since ancient times. ”

Wu Meicun hurriedly said: "Who is it?" Who is it? Dare to be like this, aren't the people in the court and the middle of the court all people who have read the books of the sages? ”

Li Xiangqian smiled slightly and said, "Hong Chengchou's talent is better than Qing." ”

Hong Chengchou official to the governor of Jiliao, this is a big man at the level of the Standing Committee of later generations, famous, when Hong Chengchou was besieged in Songshan, fought hard for half a year, cut off reinforcements, bitter no food, after the city was broken and captured, he was said to have committed suicide and martyrdom, Emperor Chongzhen was extremely sad, and also personally mourned for it, wrote a brief text of the mourning Hong Sutra, in order to show solemnity, and so on until the long memorial to the middle, the news came: Hong Chengchou was cleared, and the imperial sacrifice had to make a joke and stopped.

Such a person is naturally full of classics, and was once regarded as the mainstay of the Gong Wei Ming Dynasty, but now he has become the vanguard of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Meicun also understands what this means, even Hong Chengchou, the real henchmen of the imperial court, all sell themselves to take refuge, who else can be trusted, any Confucian student, in the face of this kind of problem, will roar angrily in the bottom of his heart, Hong Chengchou, why don't you die in Liaodong, don't die in Songshan, make all the Confucian students in the world follow you and be ashamed.

This problem is very serious, and for the Confucian scholars who pride themselves on Wen Tianxiang, Kong Chengren, and Meng Yue, this is almost all demons.

Wu Meicun could only agree and said, "Yes, the prince...... The safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be guaranteed, who is Xiaoxiao in the city? He thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever contacted the volunteers?" If not, I can go back to my hometown and contact old friends, as long as I play the banner of welcoming the prince, thousands of troops can be obtained. ”

Li Xiangqian also knew that in history, the so-called four towns in Jiangbei in the ****** of the Southern Ming Dynasty did not fight beautifully, but surrendered a lot, and what really caused big trouble to Duoduo was these Confucian students, who raised their arms in the countryside and shouted, and the recruited volunteers, although they were untrained and had average combat effectiveness, at least they would not surrender so quickly, and they also caused some trouble to the enemy army in the south.

Of course, it's just trouble, Li Xiangqian knows that these scholars have first-class skills in writing essays and chewing words, but they fail to command one by one, and their ability to use strategies on the battlefield is even less useful than that of people who take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and read the book according to the script.

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "The big thing can be decided, so I'll wait...... The crown prince is in need of a master, is Brother Wu willing to take the risk? ”

What is there to be unwilling, whether it is for loyalty or the pursuit of personal future, Wu Meicun is very willing, but a person who does not recognize or know will gamble on his own future, and he is still a little apprehensive.

Wu Meicun said: "I just don't know what Brother Li's position is now, and where is the prince." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "Okay, where is the prince, it's not something that can be told casually, I know, you are a scholar family, you are cautious, I don't say anything to prepare for you, I'm not a market liar, tomorrow, you should get up, go to the palace Yin Yamen to find me, I'll show you the evidence, let you see the prince, you go back to pack your luggage, think about it, prepare for a long trip, go to see the prince." ”

"In such a hurry?" Wu Meicun wondered.
