Chapter 175: Nanyang Tang King
When Li Xiu opened the seal, the local officials greeted him for ten miles. When I arrived in Nanyang, I didn't have such a good treatment.
The honor guard of the Qin mission came to Nanyang City, and Chen Zhenhao, the prefect of Nanyang, led a group of officials from the government to greet him at the gate of the city, and arranged for Li Xiu to travel to the Qin mission.
Li practiced the holy decree here, and this errand was not deliberately kept secret, and there was no need to keep it secret. Presumably at this moment, Tang King Zhu Yujian already knew his intention.
Only, how will he deal with it?
The possibility of the Tang King resisting the decree is too low, and it is a joke to use Nanyang's troops to fight against the entire Ming court.
However, there are always surprises.
Soldiers, you are fast!
At the fastest speed, it is the safest way to hand over Zhu Yujian's military power.
Li Xiu didn't stop for a moment, and when he entered Nanyang, he went straight to Tang Wangfu. The big officials of Nanyang Mansion all accompanied Li Xiu.
Nanyang Tang Palace, although not as large as the Kaifeng Zhou Palace, but also the mansion of the vassal king, is still very magnificent.
When Li Xiu rushed to the palace, he saw Zhu Yujian wearing a vassal python robe, and he was waiting at the door with the prince's subordinate officials.
Didn't he know that he was not a good person?
With a little doubt, after the two parties approached, Li Xiu found that Zhu Yujian had a smile on his face. It's just that there is obviously a hint of bitterness in that smile.
Li Xiu was a minister of the Qin Mission, and he came by order of the emperor, as if the Son of Heaven was there in person. Zhu Yujian had to pass the courtesy of the monarch and the minister first, and then it was Li Xiu's turn to salute him.
The second monarch of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, although he is about to be abolished as a concubine now, Li Xiu doesn't want to be too rude.
Zhu Yujian should have guessed what his fate was, and he didn't have to be so polite to himself, but he did.
People respect me, I respect people.
Li Xiu is such a character, and after saluting respectfully, he walked into the palace with Zhu Yujian.
After entering the main hall, Li Xiu went straight to the position of the head, and said: "This official is here by holy order, and the prince will accept the order." ”
Zhu Yujian knew it in his heart, and knelt down respectfully and said: "Minister Zhu Yujian takes the order!" ”
This time, the envoy was Li Xiu, and he had to do the work of reading the holy decree, and Wang Chengen was just watching from the sidelines.
After receiving the holy decree handed over by the guard, Li Xiu opened it in his hand and read it aloud.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, recruited soldiers, and in the name of King Qin, wanted to do misdeeds. For the sake of social peace, he went to his feudal country, abolished his title, degraded to a concubine, and moved to Fengyang High Wall on the same day. The soldiers of private placement, together with the soldiers of the royal palace, were incorporated into the Henan Capital Division"
Although he had long known what his fate was, when he heard the content of the holy decree with his own ears, Zhu Yujian was still a little difficult to accept, and his heart couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
Until the decree was read, he was still stunned.
From a vassal king to a concubine, such a gap is inevitably a little difficult to accept.
Li Xiu was still able to understand him, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he reminded loudly: "Lord Wang"
Zhu Yujian came to his senses at this time, and said with a stumbling voice: "The courtiers Zhu Yujian obeys the order!" ”
There was a sudden commotion outside the door, and then a brocade guard appeared at the door and reported: "My lord, the guards of the palace want to break in!" ”
Outside the main hall, there are soldiers of the imperial court guarding it, and it is difficult to stir up any storms with this little guard of the palace alone.
Li Xiu was not in a hurry to express his position when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Yujian.
Zhu Yujian looked at the chief of the guard on the side and ordered, "Let them retreat." ”
The chief guard hesitated and said, "Lord Wang"
"What? Now my orders don't work? ”
Zhu Yujian stared at him until he lowered his head before he ordered in a deep voice: "Let them retreat!" ”
"Yes!"
The head of the guard's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he finally clenched his fists to take his life. He turned his head and glared at Li Xiu before going out to restrain his subordinates.
Li Xiu nodded secretly, this Zhu Yujian still knows current affairs.
The high wall of Fengyang is the prison of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
This is the most special prison in history because it was dedicated to imprisoning members of the royal family.
The officials present could guess that what greeted Zhu Yujian would be the fate of being imprisoned for life. There is only one exception, and that is Li Xiu.
Li Xiu clearly knew that the Ming Dynasty in history would die in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. Even if history changes because of his intervention, Zhu Yujian will not be imprisoned for life.
After the matter was done, Li Xiu was not in a hurry. Under the hospitality of the officials in Nanyang, after eating, they rushed to Fengyang with Zhu Yujian and his princess Zeng.
Zhu Yujian was in his early thirties, but somehow he had no children. Zeng is still very young, in his twenties, and he looks good.
Regardless of Wang Chengen's dissuasion, Li Xiu only prepared a carriage to escort the two of them, and did not torture them. With so many guards escorting him, Zhu Yujian had no chance to escape at all.
Besides, if he really escaped, where could he flee to?
Now I can save my life, and if I escape, I really can't survive.
The journey from Nanyang to Fengyang was not far, and after three days, Li Xiu arrived at his destination.
The eunuch guarding the tomb on the high wall of Fengyang couldn't help but feel a little more heartfelt when he saw that Li Xiu was very polite to Zhu Yujian.
Zhu Yujian is now a commoner, and when he arrives here, he is naturally tortured by him. But Li Xiu is different, now he has a noble status, and it is really not easy to offend.
Li Xiu treated Zhu Yujian like this, naturally deliberately for these people to see. He and Zhu Yujian have no friendship, but within his ability, it is good to make the other party suffer less torture.
He didn't want to be a savior, and that was all he could do.
It is not a bad thing to have a god on your head and have a sense of awe.
After a short rest in Fengyang, Li Xiu prepared for home.
Outside Fengyang City, Wang Chengen said goodbye to Li Xiu with a smile.
Wang Chengen will bring the Shenji Battalion to Beijing, and as for Xu Jiang and others, Li Xiu originally asked them to also go to Beijing. He didn't expect that Xu Jiang and the others would voluntarily stay and not celebrate the New Year in the capital.
Whether it was the hundred households at the beginning, or the Nanzhen envoy who has a high status and is deeply favored by the saints. Li Xiu's attitude towards Wang Chengen has never changed, and he has always shown great respect.
Wang Chengen is aware of this. Because of this, he has a good impression of Li Xiu.
Eunuchs can't be men, and they have always been very inferior in their hearts. Many officials in the imperial court were very disgusted with eunuchs.
Li Xiumu sent him away, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a hint of a smile.
Those cats in the Shenji camp have already asked him to find out. As long as you arrive in the capital next year, you can implement the plan.
Shenji Battalion, sooner or later it's mine! (To be continued.) )
