Chapter 383: Evil Slaves Bully Masters
"The old minister implores Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Ding Kuichu howled.
Zhu Cihong was stunned to see the two copies of the covenant in front of him, both of which were stamped with Dolgon's regent seal and signed Dolgon's name. It is clearly written that the Ming and Qing dynasties officially formed a brotherly alliance, and the Qing Emperor took the Ming Emperor as his brother......
It's not that Fu Lin calls him brother.
But like Song Liao back then, the Qing Emperor called the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom his brother.
The two sides start from the Great Wall of Qi in the east, and reach Yanmen Pass in the west as the dividing line, although the northwest is Li Zicheng's, but the Qin domain is also the Ming Dynasty, this principle issue can not be sloppy, the Ming and Qing dynasties are demarcated by this line. The Qing army withdrew from Korea, which was also a Ming vassal state, and in fact, there was not much left, only the mountains and mountains in the northeast of Korea remained, and the Qing army on the west side of the peninsula was left with a lonely Uiju. Everything else has been recaptured by the Ming Dynasty coalition forces, and the third indiscriminate rebellion in Korea is nearing its end, and as for the population of the registered population has dropped to 800,000, this is not worth mentioning, but fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has begun to help them recover their economy......
This, of course, means that a large number of the Ming population is pouring into North Korea.
After the alliance between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Qing Emperor made every effort to help the Ming Emperor suppress the rebellion, and in return, the Ming Emperor only needed to give some food, and the regent's 200,000 Eight Banner athletes would be waiting for the Ming Emperor in the north.
As long as Zhu Cihong signs.
As long as he signs one of the covenants, he seals it with his fingerprint......
Even if it's a private seal.
Then Liu Zhen brought it back to Dolgon, Zhu Cihong was no longer a puppet son of heaven with only 2,000 Japanese slaves, he had 200,000 tigers and wolves behind him, and 200,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners who bullied his father so helplessly that they would then go south to open the door to a new world for him......
Of course, it can also fail!
This question must be considered!
"Your Majesty, if you don't fight at this time, when will you wait, is Your Majesty waiting here to die?"
Mao Qiling said.
At the same time, Huang Zongxi's evaluation also came out in his heart, he really deserves to be the seed of the first emperor, the emperor in front of him is as indecisive as his father, ambitious and talented, with low eyes and low hands, he looks ambitious but in fact has no responsibility at all. The last time he retreated, his true nature was exposed, and this time it was undoubtedly revealed, what are you hesitating about at this time, if you don't fight, do you still expect that Yang Qing to tolerate you? Do you really expect you to worship your ancestors and gather those people together for a ceremony to restore the emperor's throne? If your ancestors really crawled out of the filial piety tomb, they would have to whip you to death to see your virtue.
"You guys are too nonsense, how can this kind of thing be such a child's play!"
Zhu Cihong patted the covenant and said.
Ding Kuichu and Qian Qianyi exchanged glances, this is a drama, if there is no drama, they will be angry and reprimanded early, and this kind of wording will obviously be a little moved.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are also afraid of what happens, if there is an accident halfway, even if they are caught by Yang Qing, it is also done by the ministers in private, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, even if he Yang Qing destroys the ministers, he will not be able to catch His Majesty's handle, and the ministers are also for Your Majesty's safety!"
Qian Qianyi said.
Of course, their secret letter was written in the name of Zhu Cihong, so there is no need to say this, anyway, the emperor didn't see the secret letter. This is because they were afraid of implicating the emperor, so they deliberately sent people north to contact the emperor without telling the emperor, and then Dolgon responded enthusiastically, the reason why they didn't tell the emperor was because they were worried that they would be arrested and exposed on the road, and then Yang Qing used it to deal with the emperor......
Behold, how faithful we are!
"The first emperor hated Jiannu the most, how could I form an alliance with Jiannu!"
Zhu Cihong said.
"Your Majesty, it's just an expedient measure, let's just use them for the time being, that Han Gaozu still has the White Horse Alliance, and Tang Taizong still has the Weishui Alliance, not to mention that this is Jiannu with His Majesty as a brother, and it is not like the Tanyuan Alliance. If you can take Yang Shun with this, Your Majesty will also be in Nanjing, and at that time he will order the world to take this opportunity to destroy Jiannu in one fell swoop, and dedicate the head of Jiannu to Anling, and the spirit of the first emperor will naturally rest in heaven. Besides, the jade seal is not here at this time, it is nothing more than His Majesty's signature, and this signature is not good, and it can't be said to be true, even if His Majesty really signs this covenant, it doesn't count. ”
Ding Kuichu said.
There is some truth in what he said.
After all, this kind of covenant must be covered with a jade seal, but Zhu Cihong does not have a jade seal in his hand, but it is useless to sign and press his fingerprint, and the jade seal is the only one with legal effect.
"In that case, Ding Qing will preside over this matter on my behalf!"
Zhu Cihong said.
"Uh, Your Majesty, the envoy of Jiannu wants to look at Your Majesty's signature, the envoy Liu Nan, the son of Liu Hanru, the former governor of Sichuan, has also been blessed to see Your Majesty a few times when he was in the Northern Capital!"
Ding Kuichu said.
"Hmph, another betrayal!"
Zhu Cihong said with a sneer.
I don't know if he said that Liu Hanru surrendered to Dolgon or Ding Kuichu refused to take the blame for him, but it is obvious that it is impossible to find someone to sign on his behalf or find someone to pretend to be him to sign, he doesn't mean that he cares about signing this name, in fact, this is like pie in the sky for him. Of course he understands his situation, he has to make a break with Yang Qing after all, he has to solve him if he doesn't start Yang Qing first, this can almost be said to be no suspense, so far Yang Qing hasn't started just because this guy is not in a hurry. His age and physical condition determined that he could use time to solve many problems without rushing, and now he was about to succeed in surviving Li Zicheng. He just maintains his current state, and Zhu Cihong can survive for a few more years, and find an opportunity to solve the problem quietly, after all, although Zhu Cihong is young, it is impossible to be as sick as him.
I have to say that a good body is very important.
But if this covenant accidentally fell into Yang Qing's hands, then he would have enough reason to openly abolish it.
That's all Zhu Cihong was afraid of.
If he doesn't sign, he can be Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for a few more years.
Death is definitely going to die, it's just a matter of staying here for a few more years.
He signed, this was successfully sent, Dolgon went south, he fought to succeed in the sky, lost and was killed by Yang Qing to win the real great cause, but this was intercepted by Yang Qing halfway, then he must have been abolished and imprisoned and then drank poisonous wine one day......
This multiple-choice question is not easy to do!
He wants to reign over the world, but he doesn't want to be killed in his twenties, he has ambitions, but he is afraid of failure, he knows that Yang Qing will kill him sooner or later, but he fantasizes about the possibility of being a long-term puppet emperor. After all, Emperor Han Xian is very successful, and he also has a younger sister, in short, at this moment of great turning point in his life, he really behaves like his father. It's not even as good as his father, but his father is much more mature, and he's noticeably farther away from the word.
After all, he was only in his early twenties.
It's about the same as when his father was played as a monkey by the princes of Gongon.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can't make a decision, please don't let it go, the minister breaks his family to follow His Majesty, and he can't sit here with His Majesty and wait to die, the minister still has a few acres of thin fields, and he will return to the mountains and forests. The ministers follow His Majesty for the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty and the longevity of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers know that Yang is against the trend, and there are many auspicious enemies with him, but he still follows His Majesty. However, His Majesty still doesn't think about the country, and sits back and watches the Taizu foundation fall, so why should the minister seek his own death? ”
Mao Qiling said angrily.
"The old minister also asks to say goodbye to this, the old minister is over sixty years old, and he does not hesitate to break his family and follow him, it is nothing more than the grace of the first emperor's acquaintance, and it is enough to see the first emperor in Jiuquan so far."
The water was too cold, and he said with a hint of sadness.
"Your Majesty, so do the ministers!"
Ding Kuichu said.
"Why do you have to force each other, I am also afraid that another temple will be humiliated!"
Zhu Cihong said with tears in his eyes.
These guys are forcing him, but he really can't help it, these people are his only reliance, if these people give up, the only thing he can do is to go to Nanjing to find his sister now, crying to show his heart. Tell Yang Qing that he will be Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in this life, if you want me to be a puppet, I will be a puppet, if you want me to Zen, let me Zen, in short, for the sake of my sister's face, you will spare my life! Then let Yang Qing build a small palace for himself, and build the walls a little higher all around, so that even birds can't fly in, and I won't come out of it in this life.
Maybe you can save your life!
Of course, maybe not!
But no matter what the situation, he can only let him be slaughtered, even if Yang Qing wants him to come out to dance and entertain, he has no choice but to run out and shout excitedly that there is no way to repay the peace, and I wish to go to the East to seal the book......
"Your Majesty, if you are not forced by the ministers, it is really that Yang is pressing step by step, and the ministers are planning for the Ming Dynasty, and there is no other way to do it!"
The water was too cold and howled with emotion.
"You let me think again!"
Zhu Cihong said.
"Your Majesty, what else do you want!"
Mao Qiling said.
"Why don't we do a divination?"
King Qi said weakly.
Saying that, this is a good suggestion, and Zhu Cihong is obviously a little moved.
"There is no doubt about it, what good is it!"
Ding Kuichu said.
"Your Majesty, Yang Qing sent a report to ask if the King of Tang and the Duke of Qianguo had recovered, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had a new appointment for them to return to the Southern Capital, if they had not recovered, they would be taken to the Southern Capital for treatment, uh, Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"
Lu Liuliang, who suddenly came in, looked at the scene inside in amazement.
He then walked up to Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong, Shui Tailiang and the others didn't react for a while, seeing that he had the best relationship with the emperor and walked over as he was used to, and then lowered his head to look at the covenant on the table......
"This is treason against the enemy, you are harming Your Majesty!"
He looked at the covenant and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, you can't sign it, this is what Yang Qing hates the most, he hardly kills people in internal fighting, and no matter how hard he fights, he can't be exiled, but if he gets involved in this, he will be punished by Ling Chi, and if he signs it, there will be no turnaround!"
He then said to Zhu Cihong.
"Someone!"
Ding Kuichu waved back and said in Cantonese.
Then a group of Japanese slaves walked in.
"Take it out, lock it up!"
Ding Kuichu pointed at Lu Liuliang and said.
Those Japanese slaves walked directly over in Zhu Cihong's astonishment, and quickly took down Lu Liuliang, Lu Liuliang still wanted to struggle, one of the Japanese slaves gave him a rifle butt without hesitation, Lu Liuliang immediately fainted, and then the four Japanese slaves carried him out.
"Ding Qing, what are you wanting?"
At this time, Zhu Cihong said angrily.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be kept secret, since Lu Liuliang is against it, it is possible to leak secrets, once the secrets are leaked, it will inevitably endanger Your Majesty, in order to protect everything, I have to do this, and then let him go afterwards!" Yang Qing suddenly summoned the Tang King, he must have some suspicions, if he forcibly checked that it would be difficult for us to stop, he would simply let the Tang Wang and the others die of illness, otherwise it would be a trouble to keep them after all! ”
Ding Kuichu said.
If the Tang King fell into the hands of Yang Qing, the fact that they had held the emperor hostage would be exposed.
"The Tang King is loyal to ......"
Zhu Cihong said angrily.
"Your Majesty, when you live and die, you can't care so much!"
Ding Kuichu said.
The others did not speak, including Mao Qiling, who was silent about the scene of his good friend being knocked unconscious and carried away, there was nothing wrong with Ding Kuichu's quick decision, and he couldn't take care of it so much when he was alive and dead, even if Lu Liuliang was a good friend, he had to sacrifice if he needed to sacrifice. Whether it is fornication with slaves or kidnapping Zhu Cihong, as long as these crimes are known by Yang Qing, then the emperor may still have something to shirk, they all have to raid their homes, so it is more in their interests to let Tang Wang and Mu Tianbo die of illness. Anyway, there is no proof of death, they have already said that they have been sick for a few months, so it is normal to die of illness, even if Yang Qing conducts an autopsy, can he still say that the emperor, how did you kill your great-great-uncle!
"Your Majesty, you really don't care about these trivial matters at this time, Your Majesty still signed the covenant first."
The water is too cold to say.
At present, the most important thing is to pull the emperor into the water, only by letting the emperor sign an alliance can we ensure that the emperor will not sell them, if Zhu Cihong was fooled for profit before, now it is life and death.
"What if I don't sign it, will you also let me die?"
Zhu Cihong said with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are all the ministers of the first emperor, the Ming Dynasty is not the country of Your Majesty, it is the ancestors and the ancestors, it is the country of the first emperor, Your Majesty ignores the country, and the ministers have no face to see the first emperor in Jiuquan, even if they are guilty of Your Majesty, they cannot be ashamed of the first emperor. If the society can be restored to peace in danger, and the sun and moon are quiet and bright, even if His Majesty asks the ministers for the blame in the future, the ministers are willing to take His Majesty's axe, but at this moment, the ministers cannot sit back and watch His Majesty abandon the country. ”
Ding Kuichu said.
The slaves outside the room poured in with his gestures.
"Guang Sangong, what do you mean by this?"
King Qi was stunned.
"Your Majesty, the ministers spent fifteen million taels for Your Majesty's return to the south, and if you add the expenses of those Japanese slaves, it can be said that the family is ruined, and for Your Majesty, Yang Qing is regarded as the same enemy. The ministers have done so much for Your Majesty, but today Your Majesty is retreating, Your Majesty doesn't want the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers don't want to be wiped out by Yang Qing! Today, Your Majesty's covenant must be signed or not, you have signed it, our monarchs and ministers are dedicated to punishing Yang Qing, if you don't sign it, you ......"
Mao Qiling lay there, suddenly straightened up and sneered: "Then let's go to Huangquan together!" ”
