Chapter 180 [Lucky Prince]

After seeing that the commander of the Ming Jingying made up his mind, Dashun Ruhou planned to strike while the iron was hot and asked him to write a letter to persuade the eldest son Ming Guangning to surrender to the commander of the Qiantun guard: Wu Sanfeng, the second son Ming Ning Yuanwei General Soldier: Wu Sangui, and the third son Ming Guangning Zhongqian Yu Qianhu: Wu Sanfu, these three generals stationed at the border pass of Liaodong Dusi outside the Shanhaiwei Pass.

In fact, Marquis Dashun Ruhou didn't know that Ming Yizong had already ordered the general army of Ming Ning Yuanwei to enter King Qin, but it was only because he wanted to protect the people that he caused the march to be slow and delayed.

Of course, his two brothers, Ming Guangning, the former commander of the guard, and the Ming Guangning Zhongqian Imperial Thousand Households, also planned to set off together when Wu Sangui arrived.

And Emperor Dashun listened to the Prime Minister of Dashun: Niu Jinxing, and the general of the right battalion of Dashun: Li Yan, who suggested that the commander of the Ming Jingying write a letter, the purpose was to use the general army of the Ming Ning Yuanwei as the center to persuade his brothers, including the general soldier of the Ming Mountain and Haiwei: Gao Di, he is a friend of Wu Sangui, and it can really be described as a plan to kill three birds with one stone.

Once they all surrender, then Dashun can sit on its harvest and get the world's first Xiongguan (Shanhaiguan), and it can also be advantageous to defend against the easterners from raiding the border in the south.

Of course, in the heart of the commander of the Ming Jingying, he understood this like a mirror, but he had to do it! After all, the lives of the family are all under the control of Da Shunguo, if they disobey the holy order, the consequences will be very serious, and the concubine of his second son, Ming Ning Yuanwei, is still in the mansion If he dies like this! What incredible thing will Sangui do to come out?

This includes the surrender of the Eastern Captives! Because the commander of the Ming Jingying had fought with the Donglu many times when he served as the commander of the Guangning Zhongtun Guard in the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, Chongzhen's four years of "Battle of the Great Ling River" was also besieged by the Later Jin Tiancong Khan: Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji, besieged in the Kaizhou Tun of the Daling River, or by the loyal and filial piety and benevolence of the second son Ming Ning Yuanwei Standard: Wu Sangui, led the headquarters pacesetter to rush into the Houjin inlaid yellow flag team to save his father Ming Guangning Zhongtun Guard Commander: Wu Xiang, and the Ming Ning Yuanwei Commander who supervised the war in the rear: Zu Dashou (Wu Xiang's eldest brother!) and the prince and prince of Ming Ji Liao: Sun Chengzong, who only ordered the soldiers to open artillery and bombard the Houjin army, and did not send a single soldier to support.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Xiang hates Donglu very much, if it weren't for the second son to save himself, he might have died in the hands of Dongyu, so he made up his mind to write a letter: "My son Sangui remember, if today is no longer the Ming Dynasty, the Dashun Emperor has entered Beijing to become the co-lord of the world, and if you know the current affairs, you should return to Dashun as soon as possible, don't hesitate!" Remember, remember. ”

After writing the letter, Dashun Ruhou was not at ease, and picked up the letter and glanced at it to confirm that there was no problem, and then said happily, "Lord Admiral, you have really worked hard!" Cuckoo will order a carriage to take you into the palace. ”

Immediately let people go down and prepare a few carriages to stop in front of the Wu Mansion, and after the Wu Mansion people packed up their things, he took them back to the palace, on the way, Dashun Ruhou was still a thief, and deliberately rode a horse next to Chen Yuanyuan's carriage.

So that every time Chen Yuanyuan opened the curtain to look at the scenery, she could see Dashun Ruhou's obscene look, which made her feel very disgusted!

After walking about a few streets, the driver of the front team suddenly grabbed the rope and shouted, "Phew! How do you walk? Do you have long eyes? ”

Seeing that the carriage of the front team stopped, causing the carriage of the rear team to also stop, Dashun Ruhou noticed that something was wrong and immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" Why don't you leave! As soon as the words fell, I saw a young man and fled in a panic.

It was originally a trivial matter, as long as the young man apologized seriously, who knew that he ran relatively fast and, from the eyes of him who turned around and ran away, there was still murderous intent, so Dashun Ruhou was angry and let people chase him and catch him, because the young man was not familiar with the surrounding streets, he walked into a dead end after turning a corner and was caught by Dashun soldiers.

The soldiers escorted him to the Marquis of Dashun and asked him to kneel down and admit his mistake, but he raised his head to look at the general riding a tall horse, spit out a mouthful of water arrogantly, and scolded, "Phew! Damn the thief is going to be worthy of you? Let Lone kneel! ”

As soon as you hear the other person call themselves (lonely)? Immediately, the people around him laughed and said, "Hehe! Little hairy child, dare to use the title of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? ”

However, the young man held his head high and said, "This is Lone's self-title, why do you want to steal it?" (Actually, he had long forgotten his father's teachings!) Let him call himself me in front of outsiders after leaving the palace, who knows that he, who has long been accustomed to his high identity, where does he know how to call me "me" when he surrenders his identity! )

Hearing this, the Marquis of Dashun Ru felt from his eyes that he was not joking, and he didn't know the real His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but behind him was the Admiral of the Ming Jingying: Wu Xiang, he is a minister of the court, and he usually has more opportunities to enter and leave the palace, so he should have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Therefore, Dashun Ruhou asked the soldiers to take him to the carriage of the commander of the Mingjing camp and said, "Lord Admiral, please get old, Bugu wants you to see someone." ”

The commander of the Ming Jingying thought he was seeing that official? Without hesitation, he directly lifted the curtain and got up and walked out, when he saw the crown prince of Ming: Zhu Cihong, his eyes were not easily surprised, and his arms involuntarily prepared to salute, but he still controlled it!

In order to save the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Admiral of Ming Jingying pretended to be and said, "Who should the old man be?" It's just a little hairy kid! With that, he prepared to go back to the carriage.

But Dashun Ruhou wanted to try his true identity, so he pulled out his saber and put it on the young man's neck, and said, "Since the Admiral doesn't know him, then his collision with the cuckoo carriage should be regarded as reparation!" ”

The next moment, the commander of the Mingjing camp hurriedly stopped him, and persuaded him, "Lord Ruhou, there is no need to make a big fight for a little hairy child!" Let him apologize as if it didn't happen! ”

Unexpectedly, the unreasonable young man in front of him opened his mouth and scolded, "Lord Admiral Jingying, the father of Lone, the Emperor asked him to take on the responsibility of guarding the inner city and fight against the Liukou together with Lord Rongzheng Li of Jingying, but I didn't expect that you all betrayed the court and abandoned your father!" Damn it! Even his father appointed Ning Yuanwei to enter the king of Jingqin, but now your son Ning Yuanwei's general army has disappeared so far, what should you be guilty of? ”

This sentence made the commander of Mingjing Camp very ashamed! He bowed his head and was silent! Marquis Dashun clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good, worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire!" Have the courage, but it's a pity that your father didn't let you ascend the throne, otherwise our army might not be able to reach the capital? ”

Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming, who was scolded by the governor of Beijing, turned his head and continued to scold: "As a common man of the Ming Dynasty, you don't want to serve the country and go into battle to kill the enemy, resist the Dongyu to defend the border territory, but you are bent on how to rebel and seize the Ming Dynasty, it is really a crime!" Destroy the Nine Clans. ”

The reviled general was very angry, he pointed to the crown prince of Ming and said, "Okay, you Zhu Cihong, I didn't expect to be a clever person, come here!" Escort him back to the palace for your majesty to deal with, and see how capable he is? ”

In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Emperor was taken away by the rogue soldiers on the street, and slowly drove all the way to the outer city of the imperial capital with the carriage.

On the other side, Emperor Dashun, who received the news in advance, learned that he had accepted the generals and captured His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the former Ming Emperor, he was a little excited but a little scared! I'm excited to finally find the clan! And what are you afraid of is that the officials and people in the capital will support him to take the throne or raise the flag to rebel?

But in any case, Emperor Dashun still planned to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he asked the herald to inform the Marquis of Dashun Ruhou to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the West Palace to be settled....

Then he personally went to the West Palace to meet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and as soon as he entered the palace, the eunuchs who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and accompanied him saw that the young man standing in front of them was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they couldn't help but salute and said, "Little one, meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

Seeing this scene not only made Emperor Dashun sigh! He thought to himself; This crown prince is different, but he still glanced at the eunuchs with some contempt, and the Marquis of Dashun Ru saluted and said, "Your Majesty, he is the former Ming crown prince, by the way, this is a letter written by the governor of Jingying, and the last general has placed him near the Ziguang Pavilion in the inner city." ”

After hearing this, Emperor Dashun felt that since Wu Xiang had written a letter of persuasion, he had to send a reliable person to persuade them to bring troops to surrender, so that he could ascend the throne and be the emperor in Beijing.

Next, Emperor Dashun took a closer look at the crown prince of Ming, and said, "Today you fall into my hands, it is also fate, you don't have to be the crown prince, from now on, I will appoint you as the prince of Song, and this west palace is your bedroom." ”

After speaking, he also asked Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Emperor: Zhu Cihong, kneel down and thank you! But the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Song, was very backbone, as the prince of the Ming Empire, he insisted on his dignity, and began to scold angrily, "How can Lone succumb to Li Thief, you?" ”

The Marquis of Dashun next to him was very angry and quickly pulled out his knife and prepared to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the eunuchs closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look at it directly, but fortunately, Emperor Dashun did not insist that he be grateful, but continued to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more important things, he asked, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, where is your father now?" ”

I saw that Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Emperor, replied: "My father has died in the Qianqing Palace." ”

In fact, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Song, Emperor Dashun and the palace maids and eunuchs, still don't know where Ming Yizong died?

After hearing the words of the death of the Great Tomorrow Son, Emperor Dashun breathed a sigh of relief and continued to talk with the Ming Crown Prince Song, and began to discuss the reasons why the Ming Empire lost the country?

Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Emperor on the top of the main hall, said impassionedly, "This is because of the reuse of the first assistant of the cabinet: Zhou Yanru, Dongge University Scholar: Wen Tiren, and other thieves and ministers have broken the country and displaced the people!" So much so that he was taken away by the thieves. "And in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives in the East Palace, and he doesn't know that there are natural and man-made disasters and plagues?

Therefore, Emperor Dashun was also impressed by the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he analyzed it and felt that it was indeed the improper use of people by the imperial court, so that the country did not need to be governed, so that various natural disasters would occur and no officials would pay attention to deal with them.

Immediately afterwards, the crown prince of the Ming Emperor, Prince Song, in turn, asked Emperor Dashun why he didn't kill him? Emperor Dashun replied, "You are not guilty, since your father and son are dead!" Then I don't have anything to worry about! Rest assured, I won't kill you. ”

Who would have thought that the crown prince of Ming, Prince Song, began to bargain and said, "Since you don't kill Gu, then please listen to Gu's conditions, right?" ”

The curious Emperor Dashun wanted to hear what kind of truth His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been educated by the Guozijian and the auxiliary ministers of the Zhan Mansion and the East Palace, could he say?

However, the Marquis of Dashun Ru and the rest of the generals next to him persuaded him: "Your Majesty, you can't easily listen to the nonsense of a former Ming crown prince!" Besides, he still calls me a thief. ”
