Of course, Zhu Cihong is no stranger to Zhu Youlang, this person is the grandson of Emperor Shenzong, and he can be described as a descendant. It was in the original history that Zhu Youlang was able to seize the throne when Emperor Longwu had already claimed the throne.

But this is in the original history, when the three princes of Chongzhen were nowhere to be found.

And in this time and space, with Zhu Cihong, the genuine prince of Chongzhen, there will be no turn for Zhu Youlang anyway.

This King Gui has such a big move, in addition to being quite bold, there must be someone to instigate and support him.

Compared with anger, Zhu Cihong wanted to find out who was behind the trouble.

Ambition has always been a terrible poison, and if Zhu Youlang is really ready to launch a rebellion, it will be tantamount to a serious blow to the current good situation of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that now the Ming Dynasty is generally united internally and externally. Zhu Youlang came out like this, and if he was used by someone with a heart, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The rhythm of dealing with this kind of thing is very important, in Zhu Cihong's words, it is necessary to be steady and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

Zhu Cihong took a deep breath and instructed Han Zanzhou: "Call the people of the Military Intelligence Department to investigate this matter thoroughly, I want to see who is behind the scenes to instigate King Gui to rebel." ”

Han Zanzhou was overjoyed when he heard this, and replied in a loud voice: "The slave obeys the order." ”

The fact that the Son of Heaven handed over such an important matter to the inner factory proved that the inner factory was the most important intelligence agency in the mind of the Son of Heaven. Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been left far behind by the inner factory.

As long as he does this well, his status in the eyes of the Son of Heaven will rise again, and it is not impossible to catch up with or even surpass Liu Chuanzong.

Although Liu Chuanzong is from the East Palace, the inner court still depends on his ability after all.

If it's easy to use yourself, why does Your Majesty choose someone else?

Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a little tired, waved his hand and said, "Let's all step aside, I want to rest alone." ”

"Slave and maid retire!"

Liu Chuanzong and Han Zanzhou said one after another.

The two of them walked out of the warm pavilion and looked at each other, and then each snorted coldly and walked away.

...

...

Guangxi, Wuzhou.

Guiwang Zhu Youlang overlooks the high pavilion of the palace, and there are continuous mountains in the distance.

The mountains in Guangxi are not high, giving people a very mediocre feeling.

But when I got closer, I realized that the mountain was still a mountain, and people were like ants compared to it.

How is the prince not the same as the emperor?

The prince is a high Chitose in the eyes of all the people, but in the eyes of the emperor, he is just a clan that can be disposed of at will.

Cutting the feudal said that the cutting was cutting.

That's it. But he has to be confined to a fiefdom like a pig, and he can't leave a single step.

The vassal kings had no choice but to have fun in the palace and do the things of the man and woman.

This is also the reason why most of the feudal princes are full of children and grandchildren, and the people are prosperous.

However, Zhu Youlang is an exception. Although the affairs of men and women are wonderful, they are still far worse than power.

If he can ascend to the throne one day, the feeling of dominating the world will definitely make him crazy.

He had just been crowned a prince not long ago, and he should have stayed in the fiefdom honestly, but Governor Qu's words not long ago made his already restless heart agitated.

Qu Shiyun was the governor of Guangxi, and his support gave Zhu Youlang a lot of confidence.

It's just that Guangxi is just a corner of the land after all. Although most of the northern land has been lost now, the Ming court still has half of the country after all.

Fighting half the world with a corner of the world, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a mantis arm as a car.

At the very least, we have to win the support of Guangdong. But Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, is a famous old fox who never bets easily. It is obviously difficult for him to put his net worth and life on the gamble, and it is obviously difficult for Zhu Youlang to overthrow Zhu Cihong and ascend to the throne.

Zhu Youlang once asked Qu Shiyun to test twice, but he didn't get the desired result.

If Ding Kuichu's attitude is ambiguous, things will be a little difficult to handle.

People in the world say that Guangxi and Guangxi are rich, but if you really talk about it strictly, it is Guangdong that is rich, and Guangxi is just a foil. At most, it is because of the climate, which is suitable for growing rice.

But without a strong army, even more food is useless.

Zhu Youlang could only order Qu Shiyun to try again and strive to get Ding Kuichu's support.

Just when the two of them felt that the future was dark, a light suddenly shone in.

This beam of light is Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong intended to buy grain from Guangxi, so he took the initiative to come to the door.

Qu Shiyun immediately told Zhu Youlang the news, and Zhu Youlang couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Someone handed him a pillow just as he was about to sleep, and Zheng Zhilong's appearance was so timely.

To sell, of course, the grain has to be sold to Zheng Zhilong.

You must know that it is now rumored that Zheng Zhilong secretly communicated with the east, and the emperor ordered all provinces to strictly prohibit the sale of grain to Zheng Zhilong, so as to sanction the Zheng family at both ends of the first rat. Although Zheng Zhilong could buy grain from Nanyang, it took too long and the cost was too high.

If he could buy grain from Guangxi, Zheng Zhilong would naturally be very happy.

Of course, Zhu Youlang is not a bodhisattva who does good deeds, and the reason why he helped was to get Zheng Zhilong's support and start an incident.

Since Ding Kuichu has been slow to express his position, it is better to choose Zheng Zhilong.

Although Fujian is a little farther away, it is also separated by Guangdong.

Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, was stationed in Guangzhou, and even if he did not take refuge in Zhu Youlang, he would not cause any trouble, and it was most likely that he would turn a blind eye. For Zhu Youlang, this is enough.

Compared with Ding Kuichu, Zheng Zhilong's candidate is more suitable for Zhu Youlang. First, Zheng Zhilong held an invincible sailor in his hand, with more than 100,000 armored soldiers. Second, Zheng Zhilong has a tartar behind him.

Although the Tartars have committed many atrocities since entering the customs, no one can deny their strength.

If necessary, Zhu Youlang doesn't mind coming out of the side of the Qingjun.

As long as he finally obtains the throne, it is not indispensable to cede Shandong. According to him, the location of Shandong is very embarrassing, so it is better to rule the river with the Tartars.

Of course, these are all later words, and the most important thing at the moment is to get Zheng Zhilong's promise, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Not long ago, Zhu Youlang had sent a confidant to Fujian to contact Zheng Zhilong.

Although Qu Shiyun also represents him, after all, there is a layer in the middle. It's better to do this kind of thing directly.

If you think about it, the people he sent have been gone for more than half a month, and they should be back soon.

Will Zheng Zhilong agree to cooperate?

Zhu Youlang felt very uneasy.

At this time, Zhu Youlang recruited armor soldiers for training on a small scale, but only in the thousands.

If Zheng Zhilong agrees to cooperate, Zhu Youlang will use all his wealth to recruit the army, and strive to recruit tens of thousands of people, so that there will be 100,000 people in Qu Shiyun's hands.

With these soldiers and horses, Zhu Youlang can have confidence and do not have to be controlled by others everywhere.
