Chapter 62: People Are Different (First Update, Asking for Support)
(Missing, make up for the change, and have two more at night!) Thank you all for your support. )
Place the clan in Liangjing.
This is perhaps the most important feature of the Xingqian Dynasty, not the return of the vassals to the vassals. Despite the will of "the king descends to the country and the country is destroyed", except for a few clans that still maintain their identities with Yongli or Zheng Chenggong and others, they are included in the clan, as for the clans that are in exile among the people, they often cannot enter the clan again because of the loss of the genealogy and seal letter of the clan. Therefore, there are not many people in the clan now. But even so, the imperial court did not let them return to the vassals, but placed them in Liangjing, the reason why they chose Liangjing was only because there were many idle princely mansions in Liangjing, and there was no need to build mansions for them with great construction.
Sometimes, the royal also knows to save money.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Honghuan, the son of King Lu, will be placed in the palace of King Lu in Nanjing, but for Zhu Honghuan, who is only three years old, he does not know the ups and downs at the end of the three years of Jing Xingqian, nor does he know that the Ming clan is facing changes, but he is a child who does not know anything about the outside world.
But for Zhu Honghuan's mother Chen, as a woman, she had to face this change, three years ago, when the first king died, she was pregnant and gave birth to the posthumous son of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, who is also the son of the current king of Lu. The mother is noble by virtue of the son, and now the Chen family in the Lu Wangfu is the de facto master. At that time, for the Chen family, her only wish was to raise her son to the age of ten, and then write to the court and ask the court to canonize her. Let King Lu's bloodline be passed down from generation to generation, and you can go to see King Lu with peace of mind.
However, a holy decree of the imperial court made the originally quiet Lu Wangfu quiet, if for many clans, they can go to Yidi, and from then on they will be the king and the prince, and they will be the king, and they will be good at what they say.
But for the Lu Wangfu, which only has orphans and widows, this is not a good thing.
"Chief, what did Qian Shilang say in the letter?"
Concubine Chen looked at Ye An and asked. Ye An is the confidant of King Lu, and it is also the long history of the house, this big and small matter is often led by Ye An, the Qian Shilang who asked in the mouth of Concubine Chen, is the servant of the Ministry Qian Suxuan, he is the younger brother of Qian Sule, the confidant of the late King Zhu Yihai of Lu, the Qian family is a loyal martyr, in addition to Qian Sule, there are more than ten people in the Qian family who have participated in the resistance to the Qing Dynasty in different forms, and now several people are also quite prominent in the court.
After Qian Sule, as Qian Sule's younger brother, he went to the southeast with Qian Sule, returned home after the defeat of Yongli in the fifth year, and then went to the island to contact the rebels between the continents. In the thirteenth year of Yongli, he followed Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition. Now he is serving as a servant in the court, which can be regarded as a success.
It is precisely because of this that Concubine Chen will ask Qian Suxuan for help. tried to go to the court through Qian Su to avoid the pain of going to the vassal domain.
"Back to the princess, Qian Shilang replied that this matter must not be refused, although the son is young, but it is also the blood of the first king, and now he is young and naturally can not go to the country, he will only go to the country when he becomes an adult, that is, there is naturally no need to write to the court, provoke Your Majesty to dislike, when the son of the world becomes an adult, at this time, there are more than dozens of feudal countries, this feudal country is the rise or fall, naturally it is very clear, when the time comes, it is not too late to discuss."
Ye An's answer made Concubine Chen think for a moment, and as a woman, she nodded, and then said.
"Since Qian Shilang said so, he naturally has his reasons, do you have any other advice?"
After all, when the son of the world becomes an adult, if he becomes an adult, he will inevitably need to lead the army to conquer and expand the foundation, and if he does not practice martial arts and does not lead the army, how can he open the country? Emperor Gao and Jin Shang are reckless, how can it just be a number of gas? Therefore, the prince must lay a good foundation and learn martial arts and the art of war, so that he can create a century-old foundation of the Lu country and let the first king be blind to Jiuquan! ”
When mentioning the first king, Ye An couldn't help but think that if the first king was still alive, would he be overjoyed when he received this holy decree, and how could he be depressed for many years?
In the "Tanglu Dispute" that year, the king announced his abdication and return to the domain as a last resort, but he was never willing to do this in his heart, and he was always looking for an opportunity to make a comeback, and even once sent people to Jiangbei, trying to persuade His Majesty who was still in Jiangbei's hidden residence through Zhu Zhiyu in order to seek his support.
But in the end?
It's all just a bamboo basket for water. Finally, he died in the palace of Nanjing.
But in Ye An's view, the king is different from others, he has personally experienced the ruins of the country, the death of the family, and the life of displacement, which makes him have a bitter hatred for the Qing court, and he has always adhered to the integrity of the clan, resolutely shouldered the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty when the strong enemy pressed the border, and even visited the front line several times to reward the master, which is rare in the clan.
It's just that the times are not good!
If the king is alive and out of the town, he may be able to become a generation of virtuous kings.
It's a pity......
With a long sigh in his heart, Ye An gathered up his somewhat chaotic mind and said again.
"That's why Qian Shilang wants to invite a gentleman for the prince to teach the king martial arts for the future."
"Hey, it's always bothering Qian Shilang, if it's ......"
Concubine Chen sighed, and then ordered.
"Sir, this matter is for you."
For a woman's family, although she has the respect of a princess, Concubine Chen can only rely on these few people left by the previous king, in addition, who can she rely on?
The clan town is brutally appeased.
Since the "Regulations of the Sect and Domain" came out in the three years of Xingqian, the hundreds of clans of the Ming Dynasty have naturally had some people happy and some worried, and among the happy people, there are even cheers, just looking forward to flying out of this mansion as soon as possible and going to the palace of the country.
In Beijing in mid-October, although it was already snowing, in a hall in the palace of King Zhou, it was still in full swing, and several teenagers were practicing martial arts under the supervision of martial artists.
Although he is over forty years old, Zhu Lunqi is still energetic and wears single clothes to watch his sons practice martial arts, and reprimands his sons loudly from time to time.
"Fu Cho, you are so inattentive, you will come to Yidi in the future, what will you do to appease the barbarians!"
"Fu Shuo, don't be a mother-in-law, don't think that he is your brother, you have to treat him as an enemy who killed his father......"
When reprimanding his son, Zhu Lunqi asked the martial artist not to have scruples from time to time.
Looking at the sons who were practicing martial arts, Zhu Lunqi's eyes were vaguely filled with expectations, he would never have been able to become the king of Zhou, although Zhu Gongqi, the king of Zhou, was his grandfather, and the son was his father, but he had a brother above, and the elder brother Zhu Lunkui had already attacked the king of Zhou in the first year of Hongguang, and later Zhu Lunkui was killed by the Qing soldiers in December of the second year of Longwu, and the son did not know what to do, so it was his turn to seal the Zhou state.
However, this King of Zhou, but just a false name, in the past to take refuge in Zheng Chenggong, although later the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and finally able to live a peaceful life, but Kaifeng can not go back, was placed in Beijing by the emperor, for such a peaceful day, he is quite satisfied.
However, with the news of the suppression of the barbarians by the clan, the heart that seemed to be silent immediately became excited, and from then on, he began to have his own plans. In fact, he has always had his own plans, as early as when he was in Kinmen, he invited a martial artist to teach his three sons martial arts, after all, years of exile made him know that in this troubled world, compared to poetry, books, gold and silver, martial arts is the foundation of life.
And now the emperor's order, although it seems to kick the clan to Nanyang, kicked to the kind of plague-ridden evil land, but in Zhu Lunqi's heart, but never thought so, when Li Zicheng dug the Yellow River to destroy Kaifeng, the city of Zhou Wangfu submerged under the rolling waves, he finally escaped from Kaifeng with his grandfather, father, since then it has been more than ten years of displacement, so that he knows that there has never been a land of fish and rice in this world.
Even if it was once a rich place, it became a place where there were no people, that is, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and when it went to the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was also full of evil diseases? As long as there are people to cultivate it, within a few decades, the so-called barbarian land can also become a land of fish and rice.
It is precisely because he knows the truth that he will look forward to the day when he will go to the country, while letting his son practice martial arts, he has not forgotten to recruit talents, and now the imperial court has allowed the clan to open a mansion to recruit talents, and even issued an additional year of Yulu as their use for opening the shogunate. It is easy to recruit talents in Beijing, after all, this was once a Beijing teacher, and there are more than thousands of scholars? But when the barbarians are suppressed, I'm afraid that the useless ones are scholars, who are the really useful people?
Holding the teacup in his hand, Zhu Lunqi's brows furrowed again, and he once again thought of a small rich man who lived on the side of Yanshan, that person was a retired veteran of the Loyal and Righteous Army, although he was only a squad leader, but he had inquired, that person had been to Taiwan, and had pacified the barbarians in Taiwan!
Such a talent naturally wants to be recruited into the mansion, but that person doesn't seem to have any interest in it, and at this moment, there is a report from the inner servant.
"The king, that Li Minghe ordered to return the gift from the king."
What the!
Sent back again!
Originally, when he heard this, his face looked a little unhappy, but when he was dissatisfied, he said again.
"Add another five hundred taels of silver, and you won't believe it, and you can still say that you can't move him for this thousand taels ......of silver."
Unlike other kings, the King of Zhou's generosity made the defenders hold Kaifeng, and also bought the hearts of the Kaifeng soldiers and civilians, even when it came to the emergency moment when the flood was monstrous and everyone was in danger, the Kaifeng soldiers and civilians did not forget the King of Zhou, and used a big boat to transfer him and his family safely.
He learned from his grandfather's experience, so he didn't care about the money, and now when he heard that the gift he gave was returned, he naturally thought about doubling it.
One thousand taels!
Enough is enough!
Just as the chamberlain was about to go out, Zhu Lunqi suddenly stopped him and said.
"Prepare a gift, this time the king will go to see him in person!"
