Qian Sule stood up and looked at Zhu Hongsan, he knew that this emperor was not a good thing, and King Lu's death had a lot to do with him. But now there is no way, King Lu has made it clear that he will give up the prison country and hand over the army to Emperor Shenwu, and Qian Sule, who is a loyal minister of King Lu, has no choice but to bow down and give a salute.

"Minister Qian Sule greets His Majesty the Emperor! Long live Your Majesty! Qian Sule was the head of the righteous army in eastern Zhejiang, and others swore allegiance to Zhu Hongsan when they saw him surrender.

Seeing that Zhedong was subdued by himself, Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed, he didn't fall in love with the tens of thousands of horses of the righteous army, mainly because of the outstanding people in eastern Zhejiang, who gave birth to the famous Zhedong School in Chinese history. The Zhedong School is a school of traditional Chinese scholarship, which originated in the Song Dynasty and developed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of its representatives are scholars who are active in the area of present-day Zhejiang and whose hometown is Zhejiang. The Eastern Zhejiang School has inherited and developed the fine tradition in the academic history of eastern Zhejiang, and has not adhered to the view of the door, is compatible with Bona and the learning of your experts, is full of innovative spirit, advocates "applying it to the world", and advocates that academic research should serve the society. It is one of the prominent scholars in Song and Ming and Qing dynasties, and has a great influence on modern Chinese scholarship and overseas scholarship.

As for the academic ideas of the Eastern Zhejiang School, Zhu Hongsan didn't pay much attention to it, he took a fancy to the influence of these stinky old nines. He was not from a high background, and he was often laughed at by the literati on the Yongli side, and even many people in Guangdong laughed at his background behind his back. Now it's good to have the Eastern Zhejiang School joining, these stinky old nine don't have other skills, and they are experts in discrediting history. Ma Shiying, the first assistant of the Hongguang Dynasty, was obviously defeated and captured, and then bravely took justice. But because he offended Huang Zongxi, it was Huang Zongxi's disciple Wan Sitong who wrote the history of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Zongxi openly refused the call of the Qing court, but secretly had close contacts with Vance, especially in the history of the party struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party.

In order to combat the legitimacy of Zhu Yousong's claim to be emperor, these stinky old nine even made up Zhu Yousong's "killing two virgins in one night" allusion in the history of the Ming Dynasty (this allusion is probably the biggest accusation against Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong was forty years old when he succeeded to the throne, I believe adults know that it is impossible for a forty-year-old middle-aged man to kill two women in bed, Xiaosheng is Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old, I feel that my body is not bad, but that kind of thing is not to mention killing the second daughter, It's just that a woman can't stand it for a few more times, and she really has more than enough heart but not enough strength! ）。

At the same time, the history of the Ming Dynasty did not mention the exploits of Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Yang Longyou and other eunuchs who resisted the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but wrote a special book on Ma Shiying and others to control the imperial court and suppress the Donglin Party, and the three major cases of the Southern Ming Dynasty made by the Donglin Party were described in detail, and vaguely implied that the three major cases were true.

Now that these gangs don't have anything left to eat or do, they will only be used as a-stirring stick by themselves, how can Zhu Hongsan be unhappy?

"Everyone, Aiqing, please get up, as long as you are loyal to me, everyone will be promoted to the third level, and when I recover Nanjing, everyone will go to Beijing to become officials!"

Zhu Hongsan's words were vulgar, but they were very popular. Most of the people in the Eastern Zhejiang Righteous Army care about the life and death of King Lu, as long as they can ensure that they can be promoted and rich, and whoever they love will be the emperor and who will be them, it has nothing to do with them. Now that I heard Zhu Hongsan give them a reassurance, they were naturally happy and smiling one by one.

Everyone is happy, and the next thing is the welcome banquet prepared by Li Zhi for Zhu Hongsan, everyone's problems have been solved, and this meal is really happy.

Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Zhu Hongsan said: "Everyone! Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to say! ”

Everyone heard what the emperor had to say, so they quickly stopped the noise and listened to what the emperor said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you used to fight separately and could not form a joint force, which is the main reason for the Manchu Qing to become bigger. Now I am leading an army of 50,000 to attack Hangzhou first, and the other provinces will ask Aiqing, so I decided to appoint Qian Aiqing as the envoy of Zhejiang, lead the imperial history of the left capital, and integrate the Zhejiang rebel army! I'll give money for weapons, everyone can see it! ”

Except for Qian Sule, these people in the Zhedong Righteous Army were originally some petty officials, who knew the deep meaning behind Zhu Hongsan, and heard that the emperor gave money and weapons, so they shouted to obey the emperor's arrangement.

Zhu Hongsan did this precisely to integrate this rabble, and when he occupied Nanjing, he would reduce and eliminate these peasants, and he must not have an independent army outside his control. As for the choice of Qian Sule, one is that Lao Qian does have enough prestige and character, and another important reason is that Qian Sule is loyal to King Lu, and after Zhang Huangyan endorses himself, Qian Sule has been loyal to himself and has become a person who can be trusted, so this candidate decided to use Qian Sule.

Qian Sule didn't say anything when he heard Zhu Hongsan's arrangement, and stood up and said that he accepted the emperor's appointment. Qian Sule, as an old fritter, can still see Zhu Hongsan's plan, but as an orthodox literati, he is also disgusted with those Qiu Ba mastering the army. In the past, there was no way to do the chaos in the world, but now Emperor Shenwu's army is so capable of fighting, there is no need to create an army outside the national army system, and the example of Hongguang Chao's four towns in Jiangbei not listening to the dispatch is in front of him. Therefore, Qian Sule knew the emperor's small abacus and gladly accepted the emperor's appointment.

Seeing that no one objected to his plan, Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed, and then he drank happily with his generals and scolded the street, which made Ma Jiyuan and other civil officials look sideways.

At the banquet, Zhu Hongsan drank a lot, and was helped back to the big tent by the eunuch after the end. Qian Sule didn't drink much, his mind was still very clear, and he still had important things to ask Zhang Huangyan.

Qian Sule went out of the big tent, found a soldier, asked Zhang Huangyan's residence, and walked to the depths of the camp alone.

Zhang Huangyan, as a close minister of Zhu Hongsan, originally lived in an independent small tent next to Zhu Hongsan's tent. However, in the morning, because he offended Qian Lide, he was demoted to the Nanhai County Order, and at this time he was preparing to take tomorrow's ship back to Guangdong. Unexpectedly, at this time, the soldiers outside the door came to report, and an adult surnamed Qian came to ask to see him.

Zhang Huangyan knew that it was Qian Sule who came, and it seemed that he still didn't believe what King Lu said.

Zhang Huangyan greeted him out of the door, greeted Qian Sule, and asked, "Mr. Zhiting, I don't know what's going on at such a late hour?" ”

Of course, Qian Sule couldn't ask directly, "Cangshui, I haven't seen my brother for a few years and miss it very much, let's go in and talk." ”

After entering Zhang Huangyan's tent, a soldier served tea, and when there was no one in the house, Zhang Huangyan asked, "Brother Zhiting, but did you come for me to say that in the morning?" ”

Qian Sule took a sip of tea, Zhang Huangyan, as a close friend of Zhu Hongsan, can naturally drink good tea, and it is the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian this year, Qian Sule, as a big family, naturally knows the quality of tea. After tasting it, he said: "Brother Cangshui still pays so much attention to the joy of life, this kind of big red robe is probably equivalent to gold!" ”

"Brother Zhiting, don't laugh at me, I have already scattered all my family wealth when I started the army, and these teas were given to me by His Majesty the Emperor!"

Qian Sule nodded and asked, "Brother Xian, I naturally believe what you say, this time I came to ask how King Lu died?" Is it really like Emperor Shenwu said, he died of illness? ”

Hearing Qian Sule ask Zhang Huangyan like this, he wanted to deceive Qian Sule, but as a literati who read poetry and books, he could do such a distrustless thing.

Zhang Huangyan thought for a long time, nodded and said: "Brother Zhiting, the truth is the same as you know, King Lu was secretly executed by His Majesty the Emperor when he arrived in Guangzhou, and the two princesses were also included in the harem by His Majesty!" ”

Hearing Zhang Huangyan's confirmation of the news, Qian Su Loteng stood up and said angrily: "I knew that this faint gentleman was so ruthless, he snatched Qian Shangshu's daughter when he was in Nanjing, why do you still want to work for him in Cangshui, this kind of ruthless and unrighteous person?" ”

Zhang Huangyan sighed, he also knew that what Qian Sule said was the truth, but Zhu Hongsan had a deep affection for him, and as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, Zhu Hongsan had prepared everything for himself to settle down, and if he betrayed him, he would really be sorry for his conscience.

Seeing Zhang Huangyan bowing his head and being silent, Qian Sule asked: "Cangshui, Zhu Hongsan's bloodline is not correct, whether it is the bloodline of the Zhu family is still doubtful." The Yongli Emperor of Guangxi has already announced to the world, saying that he Zhu Hongsan is a fake clan. And Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, as the grandson of Emperor Wanli and the cousin of Emperor Hongguang and Emperor Chongzhen, is a hundred times stronger than Zhu Hongsan, a guy of unknown origin, in terms of identity and bloodline, why did the virtuous brother have to hang himself from a tree? ”

Zhang Huangyan heard Qian Sule scolding Zhu Hongsan here, and was just about to distinguish two sentences for Zhu Hong, when the soldiers guarding outside the camp came in to report: "Lord Zhang, Gonggong Cao is here outside the door, saying that it is His Majesty's will!" ”

Zhang Huangyan was stunned for a moment, the great eunuch Cao Fang was in a high position, and it was enough to send a small yellow door to pass on this kind of thing, why did he come in person.

Zhang Huangyan was about to go out to greet him, but he didn't expect that Cao Fang had already walked in. Cao Fang was stunned when she came in, but she didn't expect Qian Sule to be here.

"We don't know that Lord Qian is also here!"

Qian Sule didn't have a good impression of the eunuch, and he had just scolded Zhu Hongsan, and he didn't speak, so he arched his hand and saw a courtesy.

Zhang Huangyan stepped forward and asked, "Gonggong Cao, I don't know what Your Majesty's will is?" ”

"It's not a holy decree, Your Majesty asked the old slave to bring two sentences to Master Zhang, "Mr. Xuanzhu, I was reckless in the morning, I shouldn't listen to the words of the fat man's family, I am sorry for you in the morning, you don't have to go to the South China Sea, you should stay and accompany me!" "Lord Zhang, this is what His Majesty said personally, it seems that Lord Zhang's holy family is still there, congratulations to Lord Zhang!"
