Chapter 90: The DPRK and China (Second Update, Asking for Support)
How is this possible!
The reason why Zhang Huangyan was shocked was because there was a person on the painting, and he could not be said to be very familiar with that person's appearance - it was King Huai!
Wrong!
The person in the painting looks a few years younger than King Huai.
But when he saw the words on the side, Zhang Huangyan only felt dizzy.
Zhang Huangyan was shocked, and in Liu Yidong's eyes, he knew the answer, and the answer couldn't be clearer. After learning this answer, Liu Yidong calmed his breath a little, and then said slowly.
"This is the portrait painted by the painter when the emperor was in the palace!"
Looking up at Zhang Huangyan, Liu Yidong, who already knew the answer, continued.
"I have never seen the King of Huai, Sima has never seen the first emperor, and this portrait is painted by the painter in the palace of Xizong, there is a private seal of Xizong, the first emperor gave this painting to the ancestors, more than 30 years, the Liu family did not dare to damage the slightest, who is similar to this portrait, Sima does not need to inform the next."
There is still no need to talk about it, just looking at Zhang Huangyan's expression, you already know the answer.
How could it be so like!
Maybe Zhang Huangyan has never seen Emperor Xiaolie, but he is no stranger to Zhu Mingzhong, I don't know how many times, he will remember the scene when the two first met, judging from the portrait, the two are at least seven or eight points alike. Isn't, isn't, this, it's true!
"There are more than one or two people in the world who look alike!"
Zhang Huangyan's reaction was expected by Liu Yidong, he did not defend himself, but continued.
"Sima Ke knows, now the Ming Dynasty seems to be in the middle of the rise, but in fact it is full of dangers, not to mention others, although the four feudatories are loyal ministers, but how can they last, although the four feudatories have friends and enemies with each other, they are also full of contradictions, if one day the soldiers meet, it is not surprising."
Regarding Liu Yidong's words, although Zhang Huangyan wanted to refute them, he didn't say anything in the end. Some things are impossible to avoid.
"Just as everyone in the world now says that King Huai is the heir of Emperor Yizong Xiaolie, regardless of whether it is true or not, there is a lesson from the restoration of Yingzong back then, how can he be willing to be Jingtai today?"
Liu Yidong's sentence "How can I be willing to be Jingtai today" made Zhang Huangyan's face change suddenly, which is exactly what he was worried about.
"If the imperial court has soldiers and horses in the world today, perhaps, the vassals are not to be afraid, but today's trend is that the lord is weak and the minister is strong. The soldiers of the four feudal domains were all recruited by one of their vassal kings, and the soldiers were strong and well-trained, which was something that had never happened in our dynasty. Although the four feudal clans worked together to help me prosper in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was also afraid to participate in it, after all, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, which is not a blessing for the country! ”
Zhang Huangyan nodded slightly, and Liu Yidong lowered his voice again.
Looking at today's four feudatories, King Huai is strict in governing the army, and can be courteous and virtuous, and people of insight in the world think that King Huai is a figure who has turned things around today. Qin has no way, and there are still princes from all walks of life competing in the Central Plains. Now it belongs to the distant domain, if King Huai is the heir of Yizong, then the world should also be returned to the master, what does Sima think? ”
Liu Yidong's two sentences were so light that only Zhang Huangyan could hear them, but they were like a thousand thunderbolts, which made his whole heart tremble. He wanted to loudly reprimand him for being "arrogant and ridiculous", but he saw that the reason why Liu Yidong said this was only because he was loyal and liked his talents. He is tolerant of such promising young people. Zhang Huangyan took an evasive attitude and did not answer him directly, but just said,
"It's getting late today, so you don't have to go back to the academy now, how about staying here for the night?"
Seeing that Sima was not interested in this, it was inconvenient to talk about it further. Liu Yidong, who had already made up his mind and was waiting for an opportunity to speak again, agreed.
"Xie Sima Meiyi, it's convenient to stay here tonight."
As he spoke, he glanced at the painting on the table, and then said.
"As for this painting, put it here first, and retire first!"
After Liu Yidong retired, Zhang Huangyan's eyes stared at the portrait, but his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time, Liu Yidong's visit made him realize that the current situation was more tense than he imagined.
"If everyone in the world thinks that Chengren is the son of Yizong, if so......"
Thinking of Liu Yidong's words, Zhang Huangyan paced back and forth in the room, he came to the window, looked out of the window, and when he looked north, his expression became more and more serious.
"Chengren...... If it is the bloodline of the first emperor, then ......"
Although he was happy in his heart that the first emperor could have blood, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Huangyan still had a voice echoing in his heart.
"Today is still there, and the court is still there!"
When these eight words appeared in his heart, his brow furrowed even tighter.
The Ming Dynasty has its own dynasty!
No matter what, we can't let this dynasty collapse!
Thinking about it, in the end, Zhang Huangyan looked at the north but sighed, and then said to himself.
"Chengren, although Zhang owes favors, but he must not abolish the public because of personal interests, Zhang, as the secretary of the military department of the Ming Dynasty, must not sit back and watch the dynasty not exist......"
When he muttered to himself like this, he thought of the current situation of the imperial court, his brows tightened, and finally he silently walked to the table, and at the moment he lifted the pen, he sighed heavily, and then began to write the folds.
Finally, after writing the recital, Zhang Huangyan looked at the content on the paper, just shook his head helplessly and sighed, for a moment, he even wanted to tear off the recital, but in the end he gritted his teeth and commanded outside the door.
"Someone ...... coming"
When he was about to hand over the note, Zhang Huangyan's hand still couldn't help but tremble, he knew what would happen after the letter was handed out, not only meant his break with Zhu Mingzhong, but also ......
"Eight hundred miles urgently, sent to the imperial court!"
When he said this, Zhang Huangyan's mind once again appeared in the words of Fang Cai Liu Yidong, "How can you be willing to be Jingtai today."
"If you want to harm you today, even if Zhang fights for his life, he will save you!"
Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Zhang Huangyan said to himself.
"I hope you can understand Zhang!"
After saying this, when he got up and left the study, Zhang Huangyan's whole person seemed a little lonely, as if he had been hit like he had never been hit before, his expression was extremely low, and more of it was self-blame.
"If you are born, China will be dead, and if you die, you will be bright, and if you are heavy, seven feet will be light. The spirit of giving it turns into thunder, and the spirit of giving it becomes the sun and the stars......"
Finally, after reading these few residual sentences, a tear flashed in Zhang Huangyan's eyes, although he forcibly suppressed the tears, but after all, the tears still flowed......
In the court, quietly, no one spoke, although dozens of civil ministers and military generals were standing in the hall, but no one spoke, everyone hung their heads, and the palace was quiet, and only the voice of the internal officials could be heard when reading the recital.
“…… Today, the world was initially decided, the Qing Dynasty was far away from the pass, and the imperial court no longer had the advantage of ten thousand years, and the ministers thought that it was the plan of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court should return to the capital as soon as possible......"
When Zhang Huangyan's recital was read out by the internal officials, all the ministers chose to be silent, although everyone chose to be silent, but their expressions were a little excited.
Finally!
Someone has come forward to speak up!
For a long time, for them, although they knew that it was not a long-term solution for the imperial court to favor overseas, almost no one took the initiative to mention it, firstly because they were afraid of King Huai's attitude, and secondly, because whether it was Li Ziyuan who recovered the capital, or the Zheng family who recovered Nanjing, they did not express their position, they did not express their position, even if the imperial court wanted to leave, where could they go?
You can't go to Nanchang!
In fact, it would be great if you could go to Nanchang, after all, it was Zhang Huangyan who presided over Jiangxi, and he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! Naturally, the court did not need to worry about security in his place.
But Zhang Huangyan didn't say it either!
The reason why everyone chose to remain silent on this issue is because everyone knows that when the issue of the imperial court is mentioned, it often means that there must be a head-on conflict with the Huai king, and will the Huai king agree to the imperial court leaving his rule?
Although no one said, but everyone was waiting for the opportunity, that is, at this time, the news that King Huai seemed to be the first emperor came, for a while, the court was in an uproar, and the most worrying thing finally happened - regardless of whether the news is true or not, but it is certain that the emperor will stay for one day in ten thousand years, and there will be one more day of danger, and this "seeming" is likely to lead to the trust between the two sides, which is not worth mentioning, and completely collapsed at this time.
Even those who originally insisted that King Huai was a loyal minister began to worry about the emperor's safety at this time, after all, this "seeming" is tantamount to telling the world that compared to today, King Huai is the real orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, although I don't know whether this news is true or false, but who cares? In case this is exactly what Zhu Mingzhong is trying his best to achieve, what will he do now?
Today's life and the safety of the court are all in Zhu Mingzhong's thoughts, how can this not make people worry!
Worried about his own life, worried about his safety today. Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhang Huangyan's twist and turn came.
Also drive the Beijing Division!
For the emperor and the imperial court, this is the best choice.
But the question is, will King Huai agree?
Occasionally, people will set their eyes on the prefect of Wannian Mansion, although he is in the last row of the hall, but people know that he is the representative of King Huai in Wannian, what will he say?
In the eyes of everyone, Zheng Xiaru just stood there without saying a word, he seemed calm on the surface, but there was already an uproar in his heart, which ...... Is this how Zhang Cangshui repaid the king?
Doesn't he know that if he returns to Jingshi today, it will be impossible to let the king go no matter what! Who wouldn't remember the lesson of Emperor Jingtai back then, and who could make the same mistake now?
Agreeing to the imperial court to return to the capital division, isn't this equivalent to returning to the mountain!
