Chapter 487, Enthronement (3)

Qian Qianyi also served as a Beijing official back then, but he had seen King Yong. At that moment, he smiled and said: "The old man met King Yong back then, but it was still early, King Yong was still a child. I don't know that Ma Yaocao has seen His Royal Highness King Yong. ”

Ma Shiying said: "I've met once, but I'm not familiar with it, so it's better to find two more familiar officials to go together." I don't know which ministers are still alive in Beijing today? ”

Zheng Sen hugged his fists and said: "Ma Gong, there are still many Wenchen in the Beijing Division, but most of them have been tortured by Li Zicheng, they have all been injured, and most of them can't get out of bed." There are also some who can go now, such as Li Gebu (Li Jiantai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University) and Jiang Gebu (the former Hubu Shangshu, Jiang Dejing, a scholar of Wenyuange University of the Prince Shaobao) are not bad. ”

"Didn't the thieves torture them?" Qian Qianyi asked.

"Teacher, the student heard that Li Gebu was organized by himself to organize the rebel army to resist the thieves at his own expense, although the fight was not very good, but this matter, the thieves were clear. The thieves conquered his hometown in advance and robbed him of his house. Therefore, Li Gebu said that his money was all spent, and there was no money around him, but the thieves believed it, and the torture of him was much more relaxed. As for the Jiang Gebu, before the city was broken, the Jiang Gebu had already been convicted and resigned, and he lived in the outer city and was preparing to leave Beijing and return to his hometown. If Li Zicheng had come two days later, most of the Jiang Pavilion would have been in Beijing. When the city was broken, the thieves didn't know that Jiang Gebu was still in Beijing, so they didn't search for him at first, but later heard that they inquired about it, and then went to arrest Jiang Gebu, but they couldn't find anyone from Jiang Gebu. In fact, Jiang Gebu was just pretending to be a civilian. (In the original history, Jiang Dejing was originally lost in the city of Beijing, but Li Zicheng did not know that he was still in the city, so he found an opportunity, pretended to be a civilian, and escaped from Beijing.) In this time and space, perhaps because of some other changes, Jiang Dejing has always been in the capital. Zheng Sen replied, "If His Royal Highness the Prison State, his teacher, and Governor Ma come a little later, the kid will go and ask the Jiang Pavilion and the Li Pavilion to recognize it." ”

"There is some truth to this consideration of yours. But Damu, do you think this Yongwang is real or fake? Qian Qianyi's eyes flickered.

Zheng Sen knew that Qian Qianyi's greatest wish in this life was to be able to enter the cabinet to pay respects. Historically, Qian Qianyi's jokes and infamy, including the surrender of the Manchus with too cold water and itchy scalp, are also related to this pursuit. Even after surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he corresponded with Zheng Chenggong and secretly rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, one of the most important reasons was not because he felt ashamed of being a traitor and wanted to atone for his sins, but because he took the lead in surrendering as the leader of Donglin, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty refused to give him the official title of prime minister. In fact, Zheng Sen's teacher is just an official fan who has been obsessed with the prime minister to the point of going crazy. Zheng Sen also knew that at first he was very opposed to King Fu and the Kingdom of Prison, but once he found that the momentum of King Fu and even becoming the Son of Heaven was unstoppable, he immediately changed his attitude. In the original history, after Emperor Hongguang came to power, the Donglin Party and Ruan Dacheng fought in a mess, but Qian Qianyi, as the leader of Donglin, held a banquet at home to entertain Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng in order to become a big official, and even let his concubine Liu Ru come out to toast. So much so that he was scolded by Huang Zongxi as "full of ugliness". And in this time and space, as soon as he was called, he no longer cared about how he despised King Fu back then, and regardless of the undecided war in the north, he immediately rushed over from Jiangnan non-stop. What is he doing this for? It's not for a chance to enter the cabinet. He had already lost once in the matter of canonizing the Son of Heaven, and this time, the Yongwang who suddenly appeared was obviously another variable, and he must not go in the wrong position again this time. So although Zheng Sen said earlier that he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, he still asked.

Hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Ma Shiying's eyes also opened suddenly.

"I'm going to discuss this with my teacher." Zheng Sen replied, "The temporary accommodation we arranged for the teacher and Governor Ma is exactly the same as the last general. Why don't you go with the teacher and the governor of Ma in the last general's carriage together? Let's discuss it in the carriage? ”

"Damu, your Tessie's carriage is comfortable, it's famous. I came all the way, but I also sat in a sedan chair and had a sore back, so I took this opportunity to enjoy it. Qian Qianyi said with a smile.

"The old man has always been curious about things he hasn't seen, and he really wants to bother." Ma Shiying also smiled.

The three men got into the carriage and sat down. The coachman waved his whip, and the carriage slowly moved down the street, escorted by dozens of cavalrymen.

Ma Shiying sat down, pressed the whale skin sofa on the car with his hand, and said with a smile: "Da Mu will really enjoy it." Damu, now that the Jingshi has been recovered, His Royal Highness King Fu can be regarded as a credit to the ancestor Sheji. And the son of the first emperor has also been found, this is really the blessing of the temple, and the Ming Dynasty is hopeful. It's just that...... I wonder what you think about the future? ”

Zheng Sen said: "Teacher, Governor Ma." If it is a peaceful day, according to the legal system, this throne can naturally only be given to the descendants of the first emperor. It's just that now Da Ming is still in danger, and His Royal Highness Yongwang is still very young, only fourteen or fifteen years old. And he was not a prince at the beginning, and he was not trained as a prince...... If such a complicated and dangerous situation is put in the hands of such a half-grown child, I don't know if King Yong can bear it? Besides, if King Yong succeeds to the throne directly, where will His Royal Highness King Fu be? ”

King Fu is already a prisoner of the country, theoretically holding the power of the Son of Heaven, and he has contributed to the society. Before the advent of King Yong, he was the undisputed heir to the throne. Now that King Yong has appeared, is it necessary to let King Fu give up the position of the Son of Heaven? Since ancient times, how many people who have exercised the power of the Son of Heaven have had a good end after relinquishing power?

"Damu, where will King Fu put King Yong?" Qian Qianyi asked.

There is a gap between the Donglin Party and King Fu, if King Fu successfully becomes the Son of Heaven, Qian Qianyi feels that this may not be so beneficial to Donglin, especially for himself. Although Qian Qianyi also knew that in the current situation, it was almost impossible to use King Yong to squeeze out King Fu. However, if King Fu becomes the Son of Heaven smoothly, even if he represents Donglin to squeeze up and hug his thighs, how many can he rank? If there are a little twists and turns in King Fu's accession to the throne, and then he plays a key role, so that when King Fu sits in the position of the Son of Heaven again, he will have a better chance of entering the cabinet. And he found that Zheng Sen's statement just now, that is, "King Yong's direct succession to the throne", seems to have a lot of room for activity.

"His Royal Highness King Yong is the son of the first emperor, no matter what, there must be a position for a prince. And His Royal Highness King Fu is not a mean and unkind person, how can he endanger King Yong? Besides, the student's family has received great favor from the first emperor, how can people endanger the descendants of the first emperor? Moreover, the first emperor swept away Wei and rebelled against the party, and most of the people in Jiangnan were grateful. Even if King Fu succeeds to the throne, he can't ignore the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, how can he endanger King Yong? Zheng Sen said, "And in terms of etiquette, the throne should indeed be the descendants of the first emperor." Moreover, if the first emperor was martyred, if his descendants could not succeed to the throne, the students also felt that it seemed inappropriate. And most of the gentry in Jiangnan are grateful for the kindness of the first emperor, if the descendants of the first emperor are gone, then the throne will be transferred to the Fuwang line, and everyone naturally has nothing to say, but now if King Yong is true, and he can't inherit the unification, the students are a little worried that something will happen in Jiangnan. If you are in danger today, Jiangnan is the foundation of the world, but nothing can happen. ”

As soon as he said this, Qian Qianyi roughly understood what Zheng Sen meant, and smiled slightly, but Ma Shiying frowned: "Da Mu, I still understand what you said earlier, why can't I understand what I said later?" I listened to what you meant earlier, probably because the country is dependent on Changjun, and King Yong is too young to succeed to the throne. And King Fu has contributed to Sheji, and now, what you said seems to have become, only the descendants of the first emperor can succeed to the throne, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Wouldn't it be nice to just make it clear? ”

"The teacher must have understood what the student meant, right?" Zheng Sen said with a smile.

Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "Da Mu, don't you want to make a 'brother to brother'?" It's a good idea, and while it's unclear what will end up with, it's a good idea, at least for now. ”

As soon as Qian Qianyi said this, Ma Shiying seemed to understand. So he said: "Brother to brother is indeed a way, so the people in Jiangnan can probably accept it." Moreover, since ancient times, it has been said that it is a brother to a brother, but in the end it was passed on to his son, I don't know how many. Accept it first, but you can avoid direct danger, so if you want to come to His Royal Highness, you can also accept this method. ”

Qian Qianyi knew that Zheng Sen was probably thinking more than that. Having such a "brother and brother" placed there is a big constraint on King Fu, and having such a reserve emperor in his hand can guarantee that after King Fu ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, he will not do anything that is not in the interests of the Zheng family. Of course, if an ordinary minister dares to do this, then he will definitely be hated by the emperor, even if he is in power and can even do the things of Yi Yin Huoguang, as long as he does not usurp the throne, and when he dies, I am afraid that the whole family will not end well. Just like Zhang Juzheng, once he died, his family would either be exiled and finally starved to death, or simply . Self. Kill. But Qian Qianyi knows that the Zheng family is not afraid of this, in a sense, Qian Qianyi knows that the Zheng family has roots overseas, and in a sense, they are more like those toasts in the state. They have their own territory, their own military power, their own economic resources. Even the Ming Dynasty relied heavily on their military force. Therefore, the Zheng family does not have to worry too much about being liquidated in the future. So it is really a good practice to deliberately make a "royal brother" come out to contain the imperial court, so as to ensure that his interests are maximized.

Moreover, Qian Qianyi believes that King Yong can also think clearly, once he becomes the "imperial brother", he will become a thorn in the side of his "imperial brother", and in the whole world, only the Zheng family has the strength to protect him, so he naturally can't rely on the Zheng family. This is naturally more beneficial to the Zheng family.

Thinking about these things clearly, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but give Zheng Sen a thumbs up in his heart, and then began to think about how he could use this matter to make a profit.
