After listening to Qian Sunai, Zhu Hai asked: "Zigao, according to what you said, this person can't be used in this palace, doesn't this make my father suspicious?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, at this time and that time, now His Majesty the Emperor has cleared the forces of the Ma family in the general, and now there are more than 200,000 new troops in Guangdong, and a Ma Jingyuan can't make waves. However, Ma Jingyuan's words cannot be said by His Royal Highness, but by Mr. Ma Er, so that the emperor will not be suspicious, but just think that Mr. Ma Er feels sorry for his younger brother and finds a good position for his younger brother! ”

Zhu Hai nodded and asked, "Then where is the position arranged for the third uncle of the palace?" ”

"Your Highness, Nanjing has just been recovered, and the position of prefect of Tianfu is still vacant, Ma Jingyuan has worked in a small county in Dongguan for seven or eight years, and it is completely enough to be promoted to the prefect!"

"Zigao, can the third uncle be used by the palace?"

"Your Royal Highness, Ma Jingyuan has been in Dongguan for seven or eight years, his two elder brothers have no intention of speaking for him at all, the minister estimates that he has already hated the two elder brothers in his heart, at this time His Royal Highness sent him a letter as a nephew, and then explained that he was entrusted by the queen on his deathbed to take care of this third uncle, so Ma Jingyuan is naturally grateful to His Royal Highness! Although Ma Jing has not been in the army for a long time, there must still be a few friends who have connections, this kind of person is useless now, and it can play a big role at a critical time. At that time, there will be Ma Ge Lao in the court to respond to His Royal Highness, the people will have the Zhedong School to build momentum, and there will be Ma Jingyuan in the army to contact, even if the emperor does not pass the throne to His Royal Highness in the future, His Royal Highness will have the power to fight! ”

Qian Sunai's words today are regarded as the general policy of Zhu Hai's actions before he ascended the throne, Zhu Hai was very happy after hearing it, he has always been uncertain about whether this throne can be passed on to him, and now after listening to Qian Sunai's analysis, he feels that all the dark clouds in front of him have dispersed.

Zhu Hai and Qian Sunai, who put down a stone in their hearts, drank happily, both of them drank a lot, and finally were helped to rest in the cabin by the eunuch.

After the Yangtze River passed through Xingguo, the river surface was open, a large number of lakes appeared on both banks, and at the same time, the fleet also entered Jiangxi Province.

Zhu Hai and Qian Sunai entered the honeymoon period after several long talks, and today looking at entering Jiangxi, Zhu Hai invited Qian Sunai to come to the bow of the boat to watch the river scenery.

"Zigao, I have arrived in Jiujiang in front, and Wang Deren, the king of Jiujiang County, will definitely entertain the palace, what do you say?" Zhu Hai knew that the civil officials in Huguang and Jiangxi did not look down on a general like Wang Deren, so he was not sure whether to get close to Wang Deren.

Qian Sunai stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the rolling Yangtze River, and said: "Your Highness, it's better to stay away from Wang Deren and Jin Shengheng, I think these people are not from His Majesty's lineage, and it is difficult to say what will happen to them in the future!" ”

Zhu Hai also nodded when he heard Qian Sunai say this: "You are very right, Wang Deren burned half of Nanchang in Nanchang in order to deal with the Manchurian Eight Banners, and more than 200,000 people died. ”

"Your Highness, impeachment is a civil matter, but it is Your Majesty who makes the final decision. Your Majesty has been fighting horses all your life, does Your Highness think Your Majesty can tolerate this uncommanded army? ”

Zhu Hai nodded again and again when he heard Qian Sunai say this, according to the character of his father Zhu Hongsan, he has always done everything, as long as he thinks that these cannon fodder armies have no use value, he will definitely deal with Wang Deren and Jin Shenghuan ruthlessly, Zhu Hai thought of this and suddenly remembered Li Chengdong, who had a grudge against him for killing his mother.

"Zigao, the palace saw the military report in Wuchang, and Li Chengdong also went to Nanjing with the army?"

"Yes, this Li Chengdong is very good at using cavalry, and I heard that the emperor intends to put him in charge of forming a cavalry division!"

Zhu Hai is not as generous as Zhu Hongsan, hearing Qian Sunai say this, Zhu Hai said hatefully: "This Li Chengdong killed the mother of the palace, and the palace must not spare him!" ”

"Your Highness, Li Chengdong and Wang Deren are different, Wang Deren basically has no troops in his hands now, and the 50,000 people under his command sound a lot, but most of them are newly recruited farmers in Jiangxi, and these people can't become soldiers at all. But Li Chengdong is different, he still has nearly 30,000 cavalry, these people are the descendants of Xingping Bo Gaojie, one of the four towns in Jiangbei back then, and part of the elite of Gao Jie's cavalry was taken by Li Benshen to take refuge in Wu Sangui, but most of them belong to Li Chengdong, and now there are less than 30,000 people left, these people are still in the emperor and will not move Li Chengdong, and the prince will take revenge and think in the long run! ”

Zhu Hai is not a person who doesn't know the depths, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qian Sunai say this: "Isn't the queen mother's revenge avenged?" ”

"Hehe, rest assured, His Royal Highness, our Emperor Majesty's heart is very small, in order to take in Li Chengdong for the overall situation, now Li Chengdong's role is becoming less and less important, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally solve him, all we have to do is wait, and wait until the right time to give Li Chengdong a key blow!"

The fleet went down the river and soon arrived at Jiujiang, Zhu Hai guessed well, Wang Deren, the king of Jiujiang County, waited on the dock early, and was very happy to see the prince coming.

Wang Deren has also reacted in the past few months, and it was indeed too much to set fire to Nanchang at that time, but there was nothing to be done about it, so Wang Deren tried to make amends. Originally, Wang Deren wanted to make friends with several civil officials in Jiangxi, but he didn't think that these people couldn't look down on people like him who were born in a rogue, so Wang Deren had no choice but to hit the crown prince Zhu Hai. After receiving that the prince's fleet was going to pass through Jiujiang a few days ago, Wang Deren hurriedly took his own soldiers and subordinates to meet the prince on the dock.

Qian Sunai stood beside Zhu Hai and saw a group of people standing on the dock, led by a big black man, wearing a dark blue dragon robe, knowing that this was Wang Deren.

Qian Sun Ai Lala Zhu Hai said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Wang Deren will accept everything for you in a while, don't shirk!" ”

Zhu Hai was stunned for a moment, didn't he just say that he was better to stay away from Wang Deren, and now he still wants to accept his gifts?

"Zigao, aren't we going to alienate him? Why do you need to receive gifts? ”

"Your Highness, you have almost spent the money on this trip to Wuchang, you can make up for it here in Wang Deren, you can collect the money when you should collect it, don't agree to anything, just fool him!"

Zhu Hai sighed in his heart, no wonder his father always said that these literati stinky old nine hearts are black, Qian Sunai explained this very well. This is to see that Wang Deren is going to be unlucky, and hurry up to take advantage of it before he is unlucky.

As soon as Zhu Hai's boat docked, the big black man jumped up without waiting for the springboard to be set up, and when he saw Zhu Hai, he laughed and said, "Big nephew, I saw you again, how is it?" I heard that His Majesty asked you to go back to Nanjing? ”

Zhu Hai saw Wang Deren coming up and hurriedly said, "The little nephew has seen Uncle Wang, yes!" I didn't expect to meet Uncle Wang again in Jiujiang! ”

"Come on, come on, get off the boat with Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang has prepared a table of banquets in the house, let's not get drunk tonight!"

Zhu Hai didn't want to have a deep friendship with Wang Deren, so he could go to the city with him to have a drink, Zhu Hai hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, I'm really embarrassed, Zhu Hai is carrying the holy decree of his father, I really don't dare to delay, this banquet will be written down for the time being, and I will have time to find Uncle Wang to drink in the future!" ”

Wang Deren heard that Zhu Hai carried out the emperor to cover up, and he no longer forced it, Wang Deren smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor's holy decree dares not to obey, but it's okay, Uncle Wang also received the holy decree, let me join Jin Shengheng's eldest brother and their family, and rush to Nanjing before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, saying that there is an important military situation, and we will meet again in Nanjing in a few days, and it will be good to drink it then!" ”

"Of course you can, when the little nephew is the east, find Uncle Jin, and a few of us won't get drunk and won't return!"

Wang Deren was happy to see that Zhu Hai could speak, and shouted to the boat: "You bastards, quickly carry me up!" ”

"Big nephew, there's nothing good about the uncle, Jiujiang is poor at the bottom, the uncle can only bring some gold and silver to the eldest nephew, I hope the eldest nephew is not too little!"

This is Wang Deren's own soldiers to carry twenty large boxes to the ship, after opening the boxes, Zhu Hai saw that these twenty boxes were all gold and silver, enough for tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is not enough!

"Uncle Wang, you are not rich, the little nephew really can't ask for it!"

"Eldest nephew, this is not all for you, uncle still has something to ask the eldest nephew to help with it!"

Zhu Hai was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Qian Sun Ai beside him, what should I do? Do you say yes or no?

Qian Sunai saw Zhu Hai hesitate, stood up and said, "Lord, please say something, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can do it, there must be no problem!" ”

Wang Deren looked at Qian Sun Ai, this beautiful guy didn't recognize it.

Zhu Hai hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, Zigao is the beloved son of Qian Ge Lao, and he is also a staff member of the palace, if there is anything, you can tell him directly!" ”

Wang Deren heard that he was Qian Qianyi's son, and his eyes lit up, this is a kung fu that he can't do at all, don't scholars don't want to see themselves? It seems that you have to make a good friend of Qian Qianyi's son.

"It turns out that he is also the eldest nephew, since he is not an outsider, then the uncle said it! Ay! You know, eldest nephew, my uncle did something wrong when he was fighting with the Manchus in Nanchang a few years ago, and his soldiers were disobedient, and they set a small fire in Nanchang, and they didn't burn a few people, but these magistrates caught it, not to say that this fire killed 200,000 people, in fact, how can there be so many! The uncle and those scholars couldn't speak, so they could only ask the eldest nephew here, hoping that the eldest nephew would go back and have a few good words with the emperor and Ma Ge, after all, it was all for the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty! Big nephew, are you right! ”

When Zhu Hai heard that this was the case, he was about to refuse, Zhu Hai was not ready to say this for Wang Deren, after all, it was his teacher Zhang Jiayu who wanted to kill Wang Deren, and he would speak for Wang Deren again and be sorry for the teacher's teaching.

But before Zhu Hai could speak, Qian Sun Ai on the side opened his mouth and said: "It turned out to be this matter, rest assured, all the sacrifices in order to oppose the Qing Dynasty are worth it, not to mention that a few people were not burned, that is, the entire Nanchang was burned out, as long as the Qing army was eliminated, it would be a great achievement in the emperor's place!" The prince here asks the prince to put one hundred and twenty hearts, and when he returns to Nanjing, he must be thinking about the prince, and my father's boy will also explain to the prince that the magistrates in Jiangxi have some uncompromising means in order to be promoted! ”
