Obey the destiny of heaven!

What is Destiny?

People have one or another explanation of the Mandate of Heaven, but in fact, the so-called "Mandate of Heaven" is just following the strong. And for this strong, everyone has their own opinions, and they also have their own ideas.

For many individuals, they may not have the destiny to follow the world, but they often choose the place that is most beneficial to them, just like for Zhang Hongyuan, the reason why he befriended Hong Shiming as a son who fell off the list is precisely because his father is a friend of the Five Provinces, and he will naturally not worry about becoming a career in the future. even followed him to Changsha from the capital, and now he has won Hong Shiming's trust and consulted him on almost everything.

"King Min is dead! Wasn't it okay the other day? ”

After knowing the news from Zhang Hongyuan's mouth, Hong Shiming suddenly said in shock.

"This country surname just died, and now Zheng Jing is dead again, who is the king of Shaomin? It's just a child under the age of one, this, isn't this Min Zheng going to make a mess? ”

When he said this, Hong Shiming suddenly became nervous, he had been lobbying others for the past few days, but at this time, Min Zheng suddenly had a mess...... Could it be that Li Chu is really destined for heaven, if this is the case, then, that, but something big is going to happen!

In case his father blamed him, in an instant, Hong Shiming only felt a cold back, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes in an instant.

"Yes!"

Seeing Hong Shiming's dejected appearance, Zhang Hongyuan nodded and said.

"Therefore, Zheng Jing had a will before he died-the young king was young and ignorant, and all matters of the king of Min were decided by the king of Huai."

"What!"

suddenly screamed, Hong Shiming almost didn't jump up, this surprise really made him unable to react.

"You mean, you mean, Fujian and Huai have merged!"

It was not a confluence, but Zheng Jing handed over all the power to King Huai.

"It's not a confluence, but the foundation of the Zheng family was handed over to Zhu Huai, he Zheng Jing will calculate, the main weak minister is strong in this chaos, a little careless may be killed, he is now handing over the power of the Zheng family to the Huai Domain, with the strength of the Huai Domain, even if there are arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under his command, how can he turn over the waves, so, although the King of Shaomin is not as powerful as their father and son, but he is also a noble prince, with the Zheng family's tens of millions of family properties, and the country will rest with the country in the future, it is also inexhaustible......"

In such a sigh, Zhang Hongyuan glanced at Hong Shiming.

"The sun rises, what is the destiny of heaven today? Do you know why Brother Wei persuaded you to obey Zhu instead of Li? ”

When he said this, Zhang Hongyuan picked up the tea quite proudly, and he was also very proud that he could see the general trend of the world several years in advance.

"Brother Zhang is talented, how can the younger brother do it, what should I do next?"

Hong Shiming took the opportunity to give Zhang Hongyuan a high hat, Zhang Hongyuan was happy in his heart, and said.

"This news, for Yu Risheng, is good news."

"Why did Brother Zhang say that?"

Hong Shiming is completely taught.

"Sunrise, now that Fujian affairs are all by the King of Huai, it means that Zhu Huai suddenly got more than 200,000 strong troops and taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his strength must rise sharply, plus now Zhang Huangyan must be used for him, so how can Li Jin not see this? As for Li Ziyuan, if there are no troops from the southwestern provinces? How can it last? In this way, the general trend of the world has become obvious, who is the destiny of heaven? I'm afraid anyone can see it. ”

Since the end with him, Hong Shiming has admired Zhang Hongyuan's shrewdness. It was Zhang Hongyuan who persuaded him to leave Beijing, because Jingshi was not a long-term place, and when he came to Changsha, he knew that the messenger sent by his father was on the way, and he was also ordered to come to Changsha. Compared with his father, Zhang Hongyuan has a more vicious vision, he can see the destiny of heaven, but his father is ...... Perhaps, it is not that the father can't see where the destiny is, but because the father has no choice.

"So, maybe they were still a little shaken at first, but now they must know that their destiny is hard to violate."

Zhang Hongyuan got up, took out a book from the shelf, flipped through it seemingly randomly, and then took the book and said.

"You see, throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have written in the history books, but every time there is chaos, how many people can know where the destiny of heaven is? If it is against the destiny of heaven, how can there be more than one or two people who will die? This is especially true in troubled times. ”

Looking at the book in Zhang Hongyuan's hand, Hong Shiming, who is also familiar with history books, knows that he is not lying, throughout the ages, there are many people who have lost their lives because they have not been able to comply with the destiny of heaven, not only have they lost their lives, but they even let their families accompany the funeral, just like Huang Zicheng, although it seems that he has fallen into a well-known variety show, but in the end, he ended up with something.

Wasn't it because he saw the destiny of heaven that his father surrendered to the Manchus? It's just that he was obviously wrong at that time.

It seems that it is time to make up your mind.

"So, Brother Sunrise, if you can't kill your relatives righteously at this time, I'm afraid that he will be burdened by him in the future!"

In the face of such persuasion, Hong Shiming did not show any resistance, not even the slightest struggle, and sighed after a while.

"It seems that this can only be the case, the big festival, can only be taken from righteousness!"

In a person's life, he always has to face a variety of choices, and in the end Hong Shiming still made a choice, of course, when he made a choice, it was by no means "Linda Festival, only it can be taken from righteousness", in fact, he and his father are the same kind of "Linda Festival; There is no inseparable; When it is dangerous; People who can't sacrifice their lives for righteousness" make only the choices that are most beneficial to themselves.

"Rise to righteousness!"

With his hands over the top, Zhang Hongyuan bent over Hong Shiming, but no one saw it, while bending over, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but there was a sneer in his heart.

The reason why he defected to Hong Shiming in the first place was not just because they were the same year. One of the more important reasons is that he is on a mission to go to Jingshi.

And what is his mission?

His mission is for today, that is, to allow Prince Hong to kill his relatives in righteousness. Now his purpose has been achieved, although of course it is the result of his instigation behind his back. But on the other hand, it is also because of what this eldest prince thinks in his heart. If he didn't want to keep his glory and wealth, how could he make such a decision?

It's really worthy of the Hong family.

After the eldest prince left, Zhang Hongyuan also left his residence and came to an intelligence station in the city. Gave his contact the latest information.

In the next few days, under Zhang Hongyuan's planning, the eldest prince continued to contact other people, and everything was just like the original plan, and it was developing in a direction that people liked.

On November 26, the weather was very sunny on this day, just after the beginning of the year, Hong Chengchou got up and washed, to be exact, he didn't sleep all night last night. He didn't have a good night's sleep these days. After all, there are too many things on her mind right now. Of course, there were more things to worry about.

When will the letter from the Kyoshi arrive?

In the past few days, since he learned the news of Wu Sangui's defeat, he tried his best to hide this matter, but this news could not be concealed for long, and now it has come from Changsha, although the shogunate has not made it public, but several people have privately asked him whether this is true.

Although he has been trying his best to appease, he can feel that people's minds are floating, and this floating people's hearts can be appeased for a while, how can they be appeased for a lifetime?

"You should ascend the throne as soon as possible to calm the world......"

Hong Chengchou thought so in his heart. Maybe the time is not ripe now, but now there is no other choice for him, he can only hope that after Li Ziyuan ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he can use high-ranking officials to envelop others.

Of course, he knew that it was the middle of winter, and it was already freezing from north to south, and these days were even more cloudy and snowy, and at this time, it was eight hundred miles to expedite, and he couldn't walk eight hundred miles a day, and maybe it would take a few more days.

"I hesitated at the beginning, but I went deep into the harm!"

Pushing open the window, there was a dark abyss, with not half a star or a light in sight. Although the candlelight in the house was bright and the charcoal fire was blazing, Hong Chengchou, who was dressed in a fox robe and mink hat, still had a feeling of cold and pressing.

This is not only the cold climate, but also because of the restlessness in his heart, he regrets it now, regrets why he didn't make a decision earlier, if the persuasion of the excerpt was handed out a month earlier, maybe now Li Ziyuan has ascended the throne as the emperor, and has already decreed that everyone will be crowned king, so that this person's heart will naturally not be chaotic. Where would he be so worried about it now, worrying that someone would exchange his head for his own glory and wealth.

"Hopefully, I can hold my ...... for the time being"

The reason why Hong Chengchou said this is because he knows that people's hearts are in turmoil, and they often don't know what people will do...... His brows were tightly locked, what he was most afraid of now was not only that someone would lead the troops to surrender, but that he was even more afraid that someone would use his head as a way to get promoted. In such a troubled world, his head is chattered by many people. It is precisely because of this that he will carefully deploy the housekeeping in Changsha City, so as not to be killed by others.

"With the prestige of the old man, the ten days and half a month should be stable for the time being."

The air in the early hours of the morning was cold and fresh. Hong Chengchou drank it slowly with a cup of hot ginseng soup in his hand, and after his mind gradually calmed down, he repeatedly thought about what he had done wrong in the past few days when he comforted others.

After recalling it carefully, he didn't find anything wrong. It made him a little more relaxed.

"There shouldn't be any chaos in people's hearts for the time being......"

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. The voice was urgent and flustered, and it was particularly harsh and terrifying in the cold and silent winter night.

Listening to the hurried knock on the door, Hong Chengchou's mind suddenly tightened, and he immediately asked urgently.

"Who is it?"

"Daddy, daddy, something is wrong!"

It's Shiming, what's wrong? What big things can happen in the middle of the night now? Could it be...... Suddenly, he became nervous.

"Dad, Zhang, Daniel Zhang, they led the troops to besiege the city!"

What the!

When Hong Chengchou heard this, his brain "buzzed", and his hands and feet immediately felt weak and weak, and the thing he didn't want to see was finally staged now.

How so? The old man treats him well!

Why didn't there be the slightest sign before, how could he say the opposite?

Hong Chengchou, who only felt dizzy for a while, finally came back to his senses, and Hong Shiming's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Dad, just now someone entered the mansion to report that Daniel Zhang and Wang Jinbao led the troops to besiege the city. Now, how is it good now? ”

"He, what do they want to do?"

After a while, Hong Chengchou said this.

"Listen, listen to the person sent by Zhao Liangdong, Zhang, Daniel Zhang said that he didn't want to follow, and he should be a rebellious minister and thief with his father, and he wanted to sacrifice the city and return to Ming......"

"Daniel Zhang should be killed!"

After saying this, the room fell into a terrible silence again. Hong Chengchou didn't continue to speak, he pondered there repeatedly how sure he could keep Changsha.

"Dad, now, what now?"

Looking at his panicked son, Hong Chengchou said expressionlessly.

"Zhao Liangdong can hold Changsha!"

Now we can only hope to keep Changsha City as much as possible. After saying this, Hong Chengchou said again.

"Please come and see the old man now!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Liangdong, who was dressed in armor, came to the outside of the mansion under the escort of his own soldiers, and then went straight into the mansion, as soon as Hong Chengchou saw him, he said closely.

"Qingzhi, how is the military spirit now? Can Changsha hold on? ”

Fortunately, he had already made arrangements, and the relationship between them was not as close as it seemed outside, and in fact, there were even contradictions between them. Hong Chengchou hoped that they could contain each other.

"Back to my lord, the army's heart is still quite stable, there is enough food and grass in the city, and there is no problem in guarding it for ten days and half a month!"

Zhao Liangdong's answer made Hong Chengchou breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good, the old man has sent a letter to Guangxi and Yunnan to send troops back to help, and the king of Chu has also sent a messenger, the reinforcements will arrive soon, this Changsha city will be entrusted to Qingzhi, as long as this city can be defended, the old man will definitely ask the court for the merit!"

Hong Chengchou's words revealed two meanings, one was to tell Zhao Liangdong that he still had more than 100,000 men and horses under his command that could be mobilized, and the other was to tell him that the King of Chu would definitely not allow Changsha to lose, and would definitely send reinforcements. As long as he guards Changsha, he Zhao Liangdong will be a great achievement. At that time, the court will naturally reward him.

"In this way, the lower officials will be relieved!"

Hearing that there were reinforcements, Zhao Liangdong immediately nodded, then looked at Hong Chengchou and said.

"However, if the lower official wants to guard this city, he has to ask the lord to borrow something?"

"What did you borrow?"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be stunned, do you need anything else?

"I borrow an adult's head and use it ......"
