Chapter 28: Qing Jun's Side (2)
Qian Qianyi led Lu Daqi and others on a long journey to Wuzhou.
Guiwang Zhu Changying was originally enshrined in Hengyang, Zhang Xianzhong Liukou made a disturbance in Hunan, Zhu Changying fled to Wuzhou, Guangxi with his family, Zhu Changying heard that Zhang Xianzhong was a thief who was more brutal than Li Zicheng, and he was scared out of illness on the way to Wuzhou, and since then he has locked himself in his room every day, never asking about things in the house. But I heard the fourth son Zhu Youlang say that Qian Qianyi wanted to support him in supervising the country, and this prison country was to be the emperor, and the temptation of being the emperor was too great, so he came out to meet Qian Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi, Lu Daqi and others saw Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, and the righteousness and awe-inspiring explained that Chongzhen was unreasonable, not only did not send troops to crusade against Li Zicheng, who slaughtered his relatives, but also gave him the title of king, this crime of disloyalty and filial piety was indignant to the whole country, so the officials of the six departments of Nanjing unanimously recommended King Gui to raise troops to Qingjun's side, and they came to pick up King Gui to go to Nanjing to raise the flag.
But when Guiwang Zhu Changying heard Qian Qianyi say that he was going to Nanjing, the first thing he said to Qian Qianyi was that he asked tremblingly
"Qian Aiqing, are there any rogues like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in Nanjing?"
"Nope"
Qian Qianyi, Lu Daqi and others are very strange, the first question of this King Gui is to ask this.
"Nanjing security or the king's Wuzhou security"
"Nanjing is defended by a large army of Shi Kefa, which is safer than Wuzhou"
"Will Zhang Xianzhong come out along the way?"
Qian Qianyi, Lu Daqi and others were dumbfounded by Zhu Changying's questions, and then they understood that this King Gui was stupid by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues.
"Father, this is going to Nanjing to supervise the Qingjun side, but in order to protect my Daming Jiangshan Sheji" Zhu Youlang saw that his father was frightened like this, and hurriedly interrupted his father's words, for fear that his father would ask more embarrassing questions.
But Zhu Changying ignored Zhu Youlang and then asked
"Qian Aiqing, do you see if this is the case, this king is in Wuzhou to supervise the country, this Wuzhou, this king looks very good, or let Shi Kefa, yes, yes, let Shi Kefa lead the army to Wuzhou to defend this king to Nanjing, yes, that's it!"
Lu Daqi couldn't stand it at first, and immediately said, "King Gui, there are six officials in Nanjing, how can Wuzhou be compared, and if Shi Kefa's hundreds of thousands of troops come out to protect the armor, how much will it cost?"
As soon as Zhu Changying heard that he was going to leave Wuzhou without the protection of the army, and he would have to pass through the terrible Hengyang, he immediately quit
"No, no, this king can't do it, let this king's eldest son Zhu Youmu Ai go to Nanjing instead of this king, and when Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues are caught, it will not be too late for this king to ascend the throne again"
That Zhu Youmu Ai was also the same as his father, he was frightened by Zhang Xianzhong, and when he heard his father ask him to follow these literati to Nanjing, he couldn't help crying loudly, "Father, the son doesn't go, the son doesn't dare, the father ......."
Lu Daqi heard that King Gui's father and son were scared by Zhang Xianzhong into this nest, remembering that Zhang Xianzhong attacked Suining with tens of thousands of rogues, he led two thousand soldiers, and followed the people of the city to share weal and woe, and the little Suining Zhang Xianzhong had no choice, and Zhang Xianzhong who made a mess in Hunan two years ago, and Zhang Xianzhong, who also ran away with Qin Liangyu's army, thought that he had come all the way to Wuzhou to support such a waste bag, and he couldn't help beating his chest in grief!
"Since King Gui thinks it's good to be a vassal king in this Wuzhou, then I won't force King Gui to wait, but it's a pity that Emperor Taizu I is heroic!"
Qian Qianyi saw that Lu Daqi was about to give up, worried that Lu Daqi would do something inappropriate, and gave him a hard look.
Zhu Youlang was also worried that Qian Qianyi and the others would leave, so he hurriedly said, "Two adults, my father has been weak and sick since he was a child, and this prison country is a major matter of the country, how can I refuse, wait for me to persuade my father and the king, and the two adults can go back to the post station to rest first."
"Who is this?"
"Yes, yes, this is my fourth son, Zhu Youlang, the king of Yongming, and now he is taking care of all the affairs in the house, you can discuss with him" Zhu Changying hurriedly recommended his fourth son.
Zhu Youlang smiled at Qian Qianyi.
"It's okay, then I'll go back to the post station for the time being, and wait for King Gui's reply" Qian Qianyi looked at Zhu Youlang, Zhu Youlang, he didn't know, he didn't know if he could reuse himself if he supported him, and wanted to go back to the post station first to think about it in the long run, so he pulled the unwilling Lu Daqi and said.
"This king sent a few adults," Zhu Youlang said
"Alas, Emperor Taizu overthrew the Yuan Dynasty in the troubled times, and Emperor Chengzu drove out the Tartars in the desert, but this King Gui" Lu Daqi said sadly as he walked.
"A few adults, if my father and brother Wang can't go to Nanjing to supervise the country, but if you need to use Xiao Wang's place, a few adults will say it, Xiao Wang will never live up to Taizu's name!"
"Your Highness really has the style of Taizu becoming an ancestor, if King Gui has the courage of His Royal Highness, why worry about Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong" Qian Qianyi and Zhu Youlang exchanged a few words of greeting, and returned to the post station with Lu Daqi.
"Lord Qian, you have to support King Gui, King Gui is so cowardly, he has long been frightened by Zhang Xianzhong, if you can achieve great things, support King Gui, it is better to support King Fu" Lu Daqi said angrily
"Lord Lu's words are wrong," Qian Qianyi walked to the door and locked them up
"If all the emperors are as capable as Taizu, what else do you and I want these courtiers to do? Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister, and all the affairs of the court were interrogated, and he was the emperor of the ages, but can you think of which capable minister did something when Taizu did something? As courtiers, what are we pursuing, isn't it to handle government affairs for the emperor, celebrities through the ages, if every emperor is like Taizu, there is still a need for us. If Zhang Juzheng met Emperor Taizu, would he be able to do such a thing in his political achievements? Can he be a celebrity? ”
Lu Daqi was thoughtful by Qian Qianyi's words.
"Today, I see that the Fourth Highness is also a Ming Jun, if King Gui is really not successful, then after King Gui, we can still support the Four Highnesses Yongming King, if Ma Shiying is allowed to support King Fu, King Fu sits on the nine provinces of Jiangnan, and Chongzhen only has three provinces, why worry about the great cause, if King Fu pursues the three cases, is there still a place for us to stand?"
"That's the only way to go," Lu Daqi said unwillingly.
At this moment, Qian Qianyi's entourage Hou San came over and knocked on the door
"My lord, there is a letter from Nanjing"
Qian Qianyi took out the letter and slapped the table angrily
"Shameless! We fell for Ma Shiying! ”
"Lord Qian, what's wrong with Nanjing?"
"That Ma Shiying deliberately separated us, and then persuaded Shi Kefa to support King Fu and the country, and he has officially raised troops to clear the monarch in Nanjing!"
"What, then Shi Kefa listened to Ma Shiying's words so easily?"
"Shi Kefa, Shi Kefa, mistaken me from Donglin!" Qian Qianyi pounded his chest and said
"Mr. Qian, what should we do?"
"Back to Nanjing!"
"How do we explain to King Gui?"
"Confess a fart, King Gui is not successful, we will not return to Nanjing, and we will not be able to escape from this big crime of killing our heads at that time!"
Qian Qianyi and his entourage wrote a letter to King Gui casually, and hurried back to Nanjing.
